Yeah, 166 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool putting together a football league from from 167 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: soup to nuts and he's and they're doing a step 168 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: by step and they got a lot of things on. 169 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: You know, they gotta juggle a lot of issues up 170 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: in the air. But you know, nobody knows all of 171 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: them and how to navigate him better than the bill does. 172 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: We know what that league, the Alliance for American Football, 173 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: starts next February. That's the plan. We know what it 174 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: won't be. It won't be equivalent to the NFL. Right, 175 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna have players who are not on NFL rosters, 176 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: even guys who have a chance of being on the 177 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: NFL rosters unlikely to play in that league. But it 178 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: will be a developmental league. And as I said to 179 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: you yesterday, I believe I said this to you. Maybe 180 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: I said it to Chris Brown after your interview. It's 181 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: a great opportunity for a lab in the NFL lab 182 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: experiment with some of these rules changes they talk about. 183 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea for Yeah, no question 184 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: about it. Plus it is it is a spot for 185 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: guys who are fresh out of the league, Like if 186 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: they were guys were on this practice squad and maybe 187 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: they've used up their practice squad eligibility and they just 188 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: need that little more and they need a showcase place 189 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: for people to really get a look at them, eyes 190 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: on them, to see what kind of player they are. 191 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: And it gives the league, I mean, at worst case scenario, 192 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: it gives you know, the thirty two teams a chance 193 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: to look at these guys in a game setting, in 194 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: an environment and talk to the coaches that are coaching 195 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: them and say, you know what that guy like over there, 196 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: that tackle, let left tackle, or this right tackle, or 197 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: this wide receiver, whatever he's going to be, he would 198 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: be an upgrade for us at our second or third 199 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: or fourth or whatever spot on our roster, or maybe 200 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: even number one or whatever it was. It gets him 201 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: a chance to say, you know what, these guys right here, 202 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: this guy, that guy, and that guy, they're an upgrade 203 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: for us. I want to go after him and sign him. 204 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: And that's I think that's one way you can look 205 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: at it. But also you're right, it's an incubator for 206 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: the league. They can look at rule changes and policies 207 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: they put in place, see how they fly. Talking with 208 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker about his day yesterday the Jim Golf tournament 209 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: out of Terry Hills in Batavia, I asked you earlier 210 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: this morning about you know who jumped out of the 211 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: people that were there, somebody who made an impression. And 212 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: I guess it's pretty obvious because he made an impression 213 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: on everyone. The namesake of the tournament, Jim Kelly. His 214 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: energy over the weekend, the Sunday and Monday yesterday is 215 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: his faith is plane spoken faith. I think it impressed 216 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: everybody who was around him the last few days. Yeah, 217 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: and we were talking, you know, when he came in 218 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: and started talking about how the day went. Yeah, it's 219 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: I think it's obvious. Jim in some ways, I think 220 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: he really benefits from being there. I mean, obviously it 221 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: was a physically tax it was a long day. That's 222 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: a long day on somebody's healthy, like like me and 223 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: you and everybody else that was there. But for Jim 224 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: being they're still recuperating from the surgery and still in 225 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: a battle with cancer. He I think he in some 226 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: ways it benefited him to be there because he invigorates him. 227 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: He loves. One of his favorite things, obviously, maybe his 228 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: most favorite thing in the whole world, is to spend 229 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: time with friends and have fun with friends. And he 230 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: did that all day yesterday. Some golf shots for fun, 231 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: drove around, said hello to almost I bet he said 232 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: hello to everybody on the property, and uh, you know, 233 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: and then the night before, I mean he was he 234 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: went in there with a with the idea that he 235 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: was gonna like take it easy, just kind of stay 236 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: in the background way sailor, and that he was, you know, 237 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: he was out next thing, you know, he's on stage 238 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: with the microphone right in the middle of the auction, 239 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: raising money for the cause. I mean, it's just a 240 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: is amazing and uh, it's inspiring to see him do it. 241 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: You know, it's it really is he. Uh. I think 242 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: in some ways he thrives on it is something that 243 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: keeps him going. I think he's in he's found his spot. Um, 244 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: you know, he's a he's a full time Foundation Board 245 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: of directors runner. He runs it and he's got the 246 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: personality and the charisma and the and the chops and 247 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: the resume to do it better than I've ever seen 248 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: anybody do it. Chris Brown made this point yesterday about Jim. 249 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: You you jumped out, and I thought about and said, 250 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: he Chris is right, Brown, He's right. Jim might ask 251 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: them might have the most impressive posts playing career resume 252 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: of anybody, and you know even as contemporaries. You know, 253 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: Dan Marino, hall of Famer, had great success in the league. 254 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: But what's Dan Marino done since he stopped playing? Well, 255 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, listen to that much. You know, it's been 256 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: broadcasting for a while. Yeah. There have been others too 257 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: who have some post cricket a post playing career profile, 258 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,599 Speaker 1: but nobody's done more and nobody will will be remembered 259 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: more for their post career resume than I think Jim Callago. Yeah, 260 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: you could make particularly there's nobody who did more for 261 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: more people. Yeah, you can make a case for perhaps 262 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: maybe John Elway, Yeah, having a post career putting together 263 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,599 Speaker 1: a football organization that were won a Super Bowl and 264 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: did that. John Elways certainly a guy who but he's 265 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: in you know, the football field. Uh, they didn't really 266 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: change professions. Jim is totally charitable foundation work and and 267 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: and really being a Hall of Fame, a first ballot 268 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback. I don't see I don't think 269 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: I've ever seen anybody leverage that as effectively as Jim 270 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: has done. And I you got to you gotta tape 271 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: your take your hat off to him and we were 272 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: laughing yesterday because he let it out of the bag 273 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: that he's the Jimmy VY Perseverance Award winner for ESPN, 274 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: and he wasn't supposed to announce it, you know, uh, 275 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of you know, gave him some 276 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: trouble about a laughing and he goes, you know, a 277 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: guy came up to me and asked me about it, 278 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: like he knew it already, he already knew it. So I, 279 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: you know, told him and said it, you know, because 280 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: I thought he already knew that I'd got an award. 281 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: And then you know, of course the cats out of 282 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: the bag and he he and then he was damage 283 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: control from then on out because he wasn't really supposed 284 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: to announce it.

Yeah, 304 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: and that's you know, you talk about these guys running 305 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: around and one of the fun things has been throughout 306 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: this whole process, all the weeks we've been here looking 307 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: at these guys, watching a little bit of practice, watching 308 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: talking to him has been the rookies in our Twitter 309 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: poll this week is you know, you know Tremaine Edmonds 310 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: you know, Josh Allen. But which of the other rookies 311 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: are you pulling for? And there's a whole bunch of them. 312 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: It's because a lot of people love to pick a guy. 313 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: We all do it. We all pick a guy that's 314 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: our favorite. We want him to make it. We want 315 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: this guy to make it, you know, um, we want 316 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: that guy to me In last year, a lot of 317 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: people picked out Eddie Yarbro as the guy that they 318 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: want it. Thought, man, this would be great, you know. 319 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: They everybody picked out Brandon Riley. They thought maybe Brandon 320 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: Riley would be a guy last year that would make it, 321 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: and Yarborough did and Riley didn't, although he was hung 322 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: hung around the entire year on the practice squad and 323 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: has a chance to do it again this year. But 324 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: I think, you know, with the quality of the guys 325 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: that they got, certainly we excluded Josh Allen, Tremaine Edmonds 326 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: as being those guys you hope make it because we 327 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: think they probably will. But then you get down to 328 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips and Wyatt Teller, Ray Ray McLeod and Austin Role, 329 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: all these guys like wow, that's you know, let's which 330 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: one would you like? To make it, plus the rookie 331 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: free agents as well.

You know, 333 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: even the longest of shots is still in the ball 334 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: in the conversation. So it's it's that's our Twitter poll. 335 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: You can give us a call or tweet at us, 336 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: and uh, I think it's gonna be a lot of 337 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: fun to see it take shape. Well, the reason how 338 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: we got to this was because of our guest today 339 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be joining us a little right around 340 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: one o'clock, Wyatt Teller, fifth round draft pick, Offensive Linement 341 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: from Virginia Tech who a lot of people like, whyatt 342 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: Teller will be joining us in studio? I'll say, even 343 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: though it's not much of a studio here, I hope 344 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: why it doesn't take a look? You know what was 345 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: gonna be on the radio. We're gonna wait for a 346 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: top notch radio show because we're doing the show in 347 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: our little office and we're fine it. We're in a cubicle. Yeah, 348 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: we're in a cubicle essentially, But whyatt Teller would be 349 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: up there? It's our Twitter poll other than the first 350 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: round picks. Look, everybody knows Josh Ellen, everybody's following Dremaine Edmonds. 351 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: Who are you rooting for the hardest among the rookies 352 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: this year? Give us a call. We've got lines open 353 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: at eight oh three oh five fifty outside Buffalo toll 354 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: free at one eight eight eight five fifty two five 355 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: fifty or voting our Twitter poll or give us a tweet. 356 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: We've met some of these guys on the show already, 357 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: including Harrison Phillips, who right now leads the Alanding in 358 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: the Twitter poll with sixty percent. Then it's why I 359 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: tell her a twenty percent Austin Pole at sixteen. But 360 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: there are others, and as Steve said, it includes some uh, 361 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: some guys who are not drafted players like Garehowd deber Uh, 362 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman from Arizona, the native of South Africa. 363 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: Am I getting any better with that name? Yet? No? 364 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: De Beer garhid GhIE de Beer. Maybe he you heard 365 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: the interview with him, maybe you followed him. Maybe he's 366 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: the guy that you would root for to make this 367 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: roster when they get going and competing pretty heavily. Maybe 368 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: it's um some of the other rookies they have around here, 369 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: including the Alabama rookie Robert Foster who we had on 370 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: the show. Um, what about the defensive back we had 371 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: on the show, Levi Wallace from Alabama? Pretty impressive guy. 372 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: We met a lot of them. Uh, Harrison Phillips certainly 373 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: was was impressive when we met him. But give us 374 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: the thought, who do you think who you were for? 375 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: Which rookie will you be pulling for? You want him 376 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: to win a spot out of the roster this year 377 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: eight h three h five fifty toll free one eight 378 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty or you can 379 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: do it on Twitter at at one does live which 380 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: rookie year most rooting for him? Just looking over the 381 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: rookies again seeing him for missing anybody you know? Tarn Johnson, 382 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: the fourth round pick from Weaver State, he would qualify 383 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: in this trying to see who else we've talked to 384 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: rookies Sarah and Neil. Have you started thinking about how 385 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: you'd answer it? Though, I mean, I kind of give 386 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: myself some time. We always put this out there, and 387 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: we always talk about the choices, and I'm always kind 388 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: of on board with a lot of the choices that 389 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: we put on these Twitter polls. And I'm having a 390 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: hard time I'm leaning towards a wide receiver spot just 391 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: because of you know, my career, my own career, and 392 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: how I can relate to those guys so much. But 393 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of good guys 394 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 1: on this I've we've enjoyed talking and getting to knowing 395 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys. It has been fun, you know, 396 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: I'm kind of leaning. I gotta tell you Deber, even 397 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: though I can't say his first name correctly, he was 398 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: so much fun to talk to. Such a unique story 399 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: about you know, being a track star right, a discus thrower, 400 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: going getting the discus scholarship to Arizona. I just think 401 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: you'd be the best story to tell. I believe when 402 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: things get going, so he might be my choice at 403 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: this point, but whatever, there's a lot of them. So again, 404 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: other than the first rounders Josh Allen and Tremaine Edmonds, 405 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: which rookie are you pulling for to make this roster 406 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: or at least make a strong bid for the roster. Honestly, 407 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: if de Beer makes the fifty three man roster, I'd 408 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: be shocked to me. With his background in his development, 409 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: it's probably if he has a chance of sticking around 410 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 1: it would probably be as a you know, a practice squatter. 411 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: But that's okay. Those guys can stick around and maybe 412 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: make a bid the next year. But certainly through some 413 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: of the people, some of the players that people have met, 414 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: you may have a favorite already. Eight oh three oh 415 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: five fifty the number to call toll free from outside 416 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty 417 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: or let us know. Tweeted in let us know what 418 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: you think. We'll take a look at the tweet sheet 419 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: and see who folks are following, see who folks are 420 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: following on Twitter. Sean Tamba tweetson I honestly, I can't 421 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: just pick one of these three guys. I like them 422 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: all and I hope they all have a role on 423 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: the team this year and for many years to come. 424 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: But he says, another guy who I can't forget as 425 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: Brandon Riley, should have made the roster last year, and 426 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: I think he'd be a shame if he didn't last year. Now, 427 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: he was a practice squadd for most of last year, 428 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: got on the active roster at the end of the year. 429 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: I don't believe he saw action in the game, but 430 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: sure I can see people rooting for Brandon Riley, absolutely, 431 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: I mean that's just it's the perfect guy. Because you know, 432 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: people love underdogs, and I like they like to be 433 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: able to pick and discern a player's abilities before anybody 434 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: else sees them. They like to be able to say, hey, 435 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: I saw this guy back then, and I knew he 436 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: was gonna you know, so they can get ahead of 437 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: the game. They feel like they can outsmart everybody by 438 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: by predicting which guy is gonna emerge. And a lot 439 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: of people saw Brandon Riley emerge last year in the 440 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: preseason and he did make some great catches. He was 441 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: he was probably I think he was as a surprising 442 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: a player in the preseason last year as any player 443 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: on the roster, and including Eddie Yarbrough. And to have 444 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: him play as well as he did and flash as 445 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: much as he did in the preseason and then not 446 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: be on the active roster, I think surprised a lot 447 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: of people. And I think that, uh, you know, you 448 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: forget that the guy didn't disappear. He was here all year. 449 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: He was practicing getting better, and that's exactly what the 450 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: practice squad is for. And we'll see how much progress 451 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: he made this this preseason. He got bigger in this, 452 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: tell a bigger man. Yeah he lives. That'll make a 453 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: difference for him too. Um so I guess you could 454 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: root for him. Are you root wherever you want? Are 455 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: we living in it to rookies? Jay Harris, producer Jay Harris, 456 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: Is it just a rookie thing? That's what I intended. 457 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: But when you're throwing a name like Brandon Riley, I 458 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: guess we will still be considered rookie. It's Twitter, you 459 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: can say whoever you want. He's gonna know right now, 460 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: are gonna Twitter, Twitter, Twitter Police? Well we'll take him well, 461 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: will yeah? If it's good enough, it's if it's logical, 462 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: will Hey, we'll talk about it. But yeah, I mean 463 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: that's what that's that's the Twitter way, man. You can 464 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: say whatever choice you want. You have to stick to 465 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: our choices and we'll hear from it and see what 466 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: they say. There's a tweet from slightly Biased Bills Fan. 467 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 1: I'm on the three that we mentioned, Wyatt Teller, Harrison Phillips, 468 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: Austin Prole, slightly biased Bills fan tweets and I want them. 469 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: I want to hit on all of them.

Smallish wide 492 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: receiver with good speed and nice pedigree. He is an overachiever, 493 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: could be the next Baby or Tasker. And there's playing 494 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: time to be had at wide receiver. That's a really 495 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: good point. There's opportunity a wide receiver that a guy 496 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: like Austin Prowle might be able to jump in and fill. Yeah, 497 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: I'm with him. I mean, I'd love to see Austin 498 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: Prole make it. I mean, he's he was. He's almost 499 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: identical to the size I was when I when I 500 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: got drafted in the league. But I also like Robert Foster. 501 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: We had him on the show. What a great young 502 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: man he is. What a great player with great personality, 503 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: great story he is as well. You kind of when 504 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 1: you get to these guys in Murphy and I are 505 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: kind of have it better than most fans do because 506 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: we actually get to sit down and talk with these guys, 507 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: can see him as he human being. And when you 508 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: get it that way, it's a lot like the way 509 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott is putting together. He lets these guys get 510 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: to know each other tell their stories to each other. 511 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: And when you do that, man, you pull for him. 512 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: You know, you really pull for these guys to play 513 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: well and be successful in whatever they do. And it's 514 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun to hang around and watch 515 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: those guys be successful. A couple of other tweets, Daryl 516 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: f twenty nine tweets and I'm going with other, and 517 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: that other is Robert Foster, the undrafted rookie from Alabama. 518 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: Daryl twenty nine says, I feel like there are so 519 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: many questions at wide receiver assigned from Calvin Benjamin, and 520 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: with those questions come opportunity. Given Foster's size, speed, and 521 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: familiarity with Daybo, he'll have a chance to make an impact. 522 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: He does have a chance. And what we just said 523 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: about prol you know that wide open field and wide 524 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: receiver that would give an undrafted rookie like Robert Foster 525 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: a chance. Here, I think he's a guy to watch. Yeah, 526 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: you gotta agree with all of that. And it's and 527 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: then now we've got people since it's not limited to rookies, 528 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: he's work looking for a street after Great twenty seventeen 529 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: preseason goes out for the year because of a tough. 530 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: We need production at wide receiver and him shining would 531 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: be great for him and fill a big hole on 532 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: the team. So there's that as well. When you see 533 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: that the team and the way it's constructed now and 534 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: how the club's being put together with the roster, you know, 535 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: people are trying to fill in the gaps that they see, 536 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: and we got a couple of them for the line 537 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: has already seen with the Wyatt Teller who's coming on 538 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: the show today after practice. Uh, they expect him to 539 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: be good because they want him to fill a perceived 540 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: hole in the in the Bill's roster or on their 541 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: their starters. So it's uh, it's easy to get caught 542 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: up in that, in this rabbit hole of what the 543 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: roster's going to look like. We'll do it on the 544 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: preseason and Murvy, you go through this on the radio, 545 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: we do it on TV. You have the guys on 546 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: the bubble, you have ever you break it down by 547 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: position and number and how many guys they had on 548 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: the team last year at that position, how many expect 549 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: him to have this year. Knowing that it could go 550 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: up or down one or two or one upper one 551 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: or down one in either direction and uh, you know 552 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: that to be there, and then you got to figure 553 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: out then what invariably happens. You get down to that 554 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: bottom where you know that the high drafted rookie's gonna 555 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: be there, and then there's a guy you can't imagine 556 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: him not being on the team. And there's that's why 557 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: every year I was always surprised. Well, that's like a 558 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: guy like Brandon Riley last summer. There were people who 559 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: were convinced at a spot, Yeah, how could he? Yeah? 560 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: And that's and that's right, you were convinced of it, 561 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: and then again it doesn't happen, and happen, it doesn't happen. 562 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: One more tweet to read here on the tweet sheet, 563 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: a Bills fan tweets in I'm rooting hard for Gerhard 564 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: the beer. It is crazy to think that a guy 565 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: coming from another country who didn't even know how to 566 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: put pads on a couple of years ago now has 567 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: a shot to play in the pros. A story worth following. 568 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: I went with other that's my take. I listen, I agree. 569 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: I am in line with the Bills fan the tweeter there, 570 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: mostly because that's why I look at it too. I'm 571 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: rooting for stories, especially in preseason right interesting stories, people 572 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: with stories to tell. The Beer has just about as 573 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: interesting a story as anybody on this roster in terms 574 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: of rookies undrafted, especially right And that's the fun part 575 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: about this time of year too, I mean, particularly for 576 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: those people who can get out to training camp and 577 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: you lay actually lay your eyes on these guys. And 578 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: when we have him on the show and on the 579 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: radio show and on the course, usually simulcast on MSG, 580 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: so you can kind of look at him and you 581 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: hear him. But when you go out there and you 582 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: I don't know if if every pro sports like this. 583 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: I think basketball is, of course, and I think football is. 584 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,479 Speaker 1: It's hockey not so much. But you go out there 585 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: and you see that guy and you see what he 586 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: looks like compared to everybody else. You do give him 587 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: the eye test, which is you know, a guy like me. 588 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: I never passed that test. I never you know, and 589 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: you know what, you see people come up to me 590 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: and they go, hey, Steve, Wow, you look great. You 591 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: look like you'd still play. And I was laughing at 592 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: because I never look like on my best day and 593 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 1: they're just trying to be nice. But you go out 594 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: there and you lay eyes on these guys on the 595 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: fence or at Saint John Fisher or you come out 596 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: to practice on an open practice. If you get the 597 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: opportunity to do that, and laying your eyes on him 598 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: and watching them how they work, that goes miles toward 599 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: formulating your opinion. You don't even have to know if 600 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: they're making mistakes or anything, but you just watch them 601 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: and man, you can it's like etching your opinion in 602 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: Stone or guys like that. Yeah, you mean everybody's like that. 603 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: You go out there and watch these guys for ten 604 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: minutes and you old form of an opinion that will 605 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 1: never change. Yep. I mean it's hard to change your 606 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: opinion that you make yourself with your own eyes, and 607 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: it's fun to do. Yeah, it's I think it's my 608 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: favorite part of the preseason because everybody does it. Everybody's 609 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: got an opinion. There's nothing wrong with that. We love that. Yeah, 610 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: give us your opinions.

You did that, I did. 658 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: I was remember that. It was a couple of times. 659 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: It was about one. It was the size of the 660 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: room we're in. Literally it was maybe a walk in closet. 661 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: But it worked. It was like a booth, yeah, it was. 662 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: It was a broadcast booth. It was like a little 663 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: announced booth. Yeah, but it worked. It seemed to work. 664 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: Well yeah, well you know you're true professional. Yes, made 665 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: everything sound. We made it work. Yeah, And now we're 666 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: just doing radio game. It kind of feels like that 667 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: today in our office off the ad Pro Sports Training Center. 668 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: It's amazing that it is just a radio show. But 669 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: then when we simulcast, all of a sudden, you gotta like, okay, 670 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: how do I look at what? I gotta make sure 671 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: my my court is tucked in. I got it. You know, 672 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: there's so many other It just has one degree of difficult. 673 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: It's not like it's difficulty. But then you gotta really 674 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: actually gotta be aware of it. Yeah, you gotta be 675 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: aware of it. And it's not like we do all 676 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: that much to change from what we do normally. I'm 677 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: just a raid like this, Like it's just a radio, 678 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: but it's a you know, you're in the studio. You 679 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: gotta sit up and you got this, you know, the table, 680 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: and you gotta make sure everything's out of the way 681 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: that in all that and know where the cameras. Oh 682 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: my gosh, I do need you to put your shoes 683 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: back on something. You're like you didn't wear a bathroom. 684 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: That was a part of the old show when Jay 685 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: would be able to chip in with yeah, yeah, now 686 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm taking advantage of y. You had me locked in 687 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: a glass case and it would get so hot in 688 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: there that the glass would fog up. I could barely 689 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: see you at times. Yeah, it's just wouldn't listen. Jay's 690 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: been two years without getting this comments on the air. 691 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: Free at Last, Jay Harris, Free at Last to comment, 692 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: don't please turn your mic coff our producer, Hey, um, 693 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: give us a call. Who are you rooting for to 694 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: make this roster? Obviously the two first rounders are the 695 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: guys everybody's looking at, but anybody else rookies, long shots? 696 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: Who are you going to root for when camp begins 697 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: in about a month or so? By the way the 698 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: camp schedules should be out. I would think any day 699 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: now right, Steve will have an idea of when camp opens, 700 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: when camp closes, and any other special events, so look 701 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: for that. Won't even get it today, Steve a couple 702 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: of NFL notes speaking of camps mini camps around the league. 703 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: Three teams um kick off their mandatory mini camp today, 704 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: including the Patriots and guests who showed up at the 705 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: Patriots camp today. I think it was probably Tom Bley 706 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: and and Rob ground Camp both there. We're gonna talk 707 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: with Albert Brier from NFL dot com or I'm sorry, 708 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: from MMQB dot SI dot com. Sports Illustrated. Albert Brier 709 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: will join us today at two o'clock and we'll talk 710 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: with him about that. I believe he's there at Patriots 711 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: camp and what that meant as Brady jogged out of 712 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: the field today, ending months of speculation about his mindset. Yeah, 713 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: it's a deal though. I'm telling you something I think now, 714 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: and I don't know whether it's like it is in 715 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: training camp. You know, for a team, you go through 716 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: a long, hard training camp and guys start to say, hey, 717 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: we need a night off, we need a night off. 718 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna take an eye and they start saying it. 719 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: They say it enough that the head coach here's and 720 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: he gives him a night off. And I don't know 721 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: whether it's the same thing in New England with the 722 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: way that Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski things going. Hey, these guys, 723 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: there's something going on. There's something going on. There's something 724 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: going on. Pretty soon, Yeah, there is something going on 725 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: where there's smoke, there's fire. And I'm beginning to thing 726 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: and I've you know, mur I I've always poo pooed 727 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: the idea that there was anything that was going to 728 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: affect the way they do business over there. I don't 729 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: know if I'm quite that. So all I'm starting to see, 730 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, there is something. So it'savan something's up. I mean, 731 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: either even if they're not all that happy. When Tom 732 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: Brady shows up and he has to be convinced to 733 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: do it and he's not doing if it's voluntary, he's 734 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: not there, that says a little something. I don't but 735 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is exactly. You know, we 736 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,719 Speaker 1: don't know what it is why he has not done it, 737 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: whether it's a riff between him and Bill Belichick or 738 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: it's a riff between his personal trainer and the way 739 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots do business with their training or whether it's money. 740 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: It could be money for Tom Brady. Uh, there's no 741 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: doubt that money is an issue with Gronkowski. It's it's 742 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: it's an annual event with his contract. Uh. They redo 743 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: it a little bit, they tweak it every off season. 744 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: So that's probably the reason he's uh hasn't been there. So, 745 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: But if it's more than that, if it's something personal, 746 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: if it's starting to get there, you know, if if 747 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: a guy's going to be forty one years old and 748 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, if he's kind of sick and fed up 749 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: and tired of the way business is done that he 750 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: doesn't see the return of it anymore, he doesn't see 751 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: the benefit of doing it that way anymore, at least 752 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: at this point in the season. I think it does 753 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: add up to something, and maybe maybe on the horizon 754 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: it means a bigger change for the Patriots. Talk with Albert, 755 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: We're about that at two o'clock. A couple of other 756 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: NFL notes this story I find distressing because I think 757 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: it's a it's a preview of what's to come. The 758 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles will not attend the planning ceremony at the 759 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: White House tonight to honor their Super Bowl victory, disinvited 760 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: by the President, who insists that it has something to 761 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: do with the protests pregame protests surrounding the national anthem 762 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: instead of the Tuesday of ant the White House while 763 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: hosts a celebration of America. They say, here's why I 764 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: find it distressing, see, because I think it's a prelude 765 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: to what's to come this fall. I really do. Yeah, 766 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: you're like me. I mean, I've been around NFL for 767 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: thirty years and football way longer. And the thing that 768 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: athletics has always done is unite people. Yeah, it's brought 769 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: people together. People here, like here in Buffalo, there's one 770 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: thing they all have in common. It's their fanship of 771 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. It's the Bills mafia. It's the pride 772 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: they take in their community because they have a good 773 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: football team or an NFL team. Same thing with the hockey. 774 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: You know, people come together because they either love the 775 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 1: Sabers or they commiserate with the Sabers and their struggles 776 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: or and the same with the Bills in the drought. 777 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: It's something we all share. But when something like this 778 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: happens in the NFL and it becomes something else where 779 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: where it cuts down the middle of the fan base, 780 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: where where it divides me from you, where it pulls 781 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: us apart rather than bringing us together. That to me is, Oh, 782 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: it's sad. It's it's not encouraging, it's discouraging. It goes 783 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: to me, it goes against the intent of what it's 784 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: supposed to be about exactly. You know what I mean. 785 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: It's really and it's disheartening. Yeah, it's saddening because there 786 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: have been so many times, particularly in this town, in 787 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: this NFL market, where this team has done so much 788 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: to envelop all of us, to bring us all together. 789 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: Give us all a big hug. You know, where were 790 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: you in the comeback game? Where were you on the 791 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: throwback game? Where were you on the last We're on 792 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: Week seventeen last year when the team got in and 793 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: into that drought. Where you know, where were you when 794 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: all these moments happened? Where were you in fifty one 795 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: to three game? You know where were you and when 796 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: all this stuff happened? When you know where were you? 797 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,720 Speaker 1: You know, what do you think when when the Bills 798 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: won when the Sabers won the lottery, and they're gonna 799 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: get dollin. You know, we're it's something that has united 800 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: us and this there's just the opposite of and and 801 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: I can see it on the horn, not maybe here 802 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, but certainly on the horizon for nationally. Nationally. 803 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: I think it's uh. I think it's a shadow on 804 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: the horizon that I'm not looking forward. I don't look 805 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: forward to that at all. A couple of other NFL notes, Steve, 806 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: By the way, we just had a visit from some 807 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: folks who are the finalist for the NFL Reporter for 808 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: a Day, the Bills Reporter for a day. They already 809 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 1: stepped out. I thought they had the junior reporter. Yeah, kids, 810 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 1: reporter for a day. Oliver Luck named commissioner and CEO 811 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: of the x f l M. His son is Course 812 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: of Andrew XFL headquarters in Connecticut. They're getting ready to 813 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: launch in twenty twenty. And Steve, you know Oliver Luck. 814 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: You played with him with the Houston Oilers, right, Yeah, 815 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: he was. I caught passes from him in practice like 816 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 1: I do for a lot of the quarterbacks I played 817 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: with in practice. But yeah, he was a player with 818 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: the Houston Oilers. When I was there, he was the 819 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: backup to Warren Moon. He's also also, most notably Andrew 820 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: Luck's father. He was the commissioner of NFL Europe and 821 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 1: now so he's and he was with the NCAA up 822 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: until recently. So he's a athleic director at West Virginia, right, 823 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: that's correct. And so he is now the CEO of 824 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: Vince McMahon's League XL. Yeah, and that's that's an interesting 825 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: move for him. One more note in the football world 826 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: as we go through this. Dwight Clark passed away yesterday 827 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: at the age of sixty one. Made one of the 828 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: most memorable plays in NFL history, the catch for the 829 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. He'd been battling als since he first 830 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: began feeling weakness in his left hand four years ago. 831 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: He was sixty one years old. Was diagnosed in March 832 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen. Makes the great catch. I had an opportunity, 833 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 1: didn't mean him once when he was doing some broadcast work, 834 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: and I think we talked. I know we talked. I 835 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: think I may have reviewed him. I just impressed with 836 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: his He was such a Californian Steve. He was such 837 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: a laid back, good natured California guy, you couldn't help it. 838 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: Like Dwight Clark and I'm sorry to read this news. Yeah, 839 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: me too. He was. He's a guy that, actually, you know, 840 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: in given what happened yesterday, He's a guy that used 841 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,240 Speaker 1: to come to Jim's tournament. He was a buddy of Jim's. 842 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: And I was a general manager in the league. An 843 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: you think and I read that. I thought about this 844 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: when when I read about it, about what the catch meant, 845 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: and I thought this when I then then somebody wrote 846 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 1: an article about it as well. That catch changed everything 847 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL, because up to that time, it was 848 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: the Raiders, the Steelers, the Cowboys, the Dolphins in the 849 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and winning Super Bowls and being the good teams. 850 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: There's four or five really good franchises, the Steelers, the Cowboys, 851 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, the Dolphins, and the Raiders. When the forty 852 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: nine Ers, when the catch was made and the forty 853 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: nine Ers went to and won the Super Bowl against 854 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, things changed in the NFL and teams began 855 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: to sit up and realize, you know what, we can 856 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: be good. You know we're gonna be good. We can 857 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: get those players, we can we get the right combination 858 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: of people, we can be successful. And that open took 859 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: the lid off the league for a while. Now you 860 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: can say they though Niners won three Super Bowls as 861 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: ten years, that was kind of their decade. Yeah they were, 862 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: but for a long time, teams just couldn't get out 863 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 1: of their own way. And now on average four teams 864 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: every year or in the playoffs that weren't there the 865 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: year before. And it's not about just recycling. You say 866 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: what you want about the Patriots and the Steelers are 867 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: still a good franchise. The Cowboys are at but the 868 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys are riding a little bit of a roller coaster. 869 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: And you get teams like now the Green Bay Packers 870 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: have won a couple of Super Bowls, one with Brett 871 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: Farve and one with with Aaron Rodgers. You know, you 872 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: get teams like the Arizona Cardinals getting to the Super Bowl. 873 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: Since Seattle Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl, the 874 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers made it to the Super Bowl, even the 875 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills were there four times. You know, you get 876 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: all these teams now that catch but Dwight Clark made 877 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: so many years. It was the first time when somebody else, 878 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,879 Speaker 1: yeah did it, and that was I think a big 879 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: moment for the NFL and for fan bases around the league. 880 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was a tenth round pick of 881 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers in nineteen seventy nine. Pretty amazing. 882 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: He had a career, a post football career in broadcasting, 883 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: as I said, but also in management NFL teams. But 884 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 1: it was the catch for which he's most noted. When 885 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers shut down Candlestick Park twenty thirteen, 886 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: the catch was named the number one play in that 887 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: stadium's history. Of course, it was, right, just an amazing play. 888 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: It was great. It was it was you know, and 889 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: even now, you know, you go back and the stadium's done, 890 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 1: they don't even play, nobody plays there anymore, and and 891 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: all the everything's changed since then in the league has evolved, 892 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: you know, further and further into what it is today. 893 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: And you look back at that, and that was one 894 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: of the poignant moments, I think, not just for the 895 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers, but for the NFL itself, because, 896 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: like I said, somebody else one yeah, great, all right, Hey, 897 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: we mentioned we're gonna play some Tundavious White sound es. 898 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: We'll do that when we come back. We're running out 899 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: of time in this first hour, believe it or not 900 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: getting rolling here. John Murphy and Steve Tasker One Bills 901 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. 902 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show One Bills five presented by 903 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: Collida Health, John Murphy Steve Tasker in Orchard Park, the 904 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 1: OTAs continue.

Turnavius White took time out of 908 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: his morning today to appear on Good Morning Football on 909 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: the NFL Network. Turndevius has had an interesting couple of 910 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: weeks Steve being on that show. He took offense and 911 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: I think he's doing it lightheartedly about not being included 912 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: on the list of second year players who are going 913 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: to be standouts this year for good reason, by the way, Yeah, 914 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: he's going an outstanding rookie year. Yeah, forget about you 915 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: know corner, He's one of the top corners in the 916 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: league at any whatever vintage you want to say whether 917 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: he was a rookie or whether there's a ten year event. 918 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 1: Turnavius had as good a year as any cornerback in 919 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: the league and was on the short list of you know, 920 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: defensive rookie MVP. So now he comes out and he's 921 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: not even on the list of second year players who 922 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: are gonna, you know, be any good at all. And he, 923 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: you know, he lightheartedly say hey, whoa, you know what 924 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: about me? And of course he'll use it for fuel. 925 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna put that on a little fire 926 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: and let it burn and fester a little bit and 927 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: give him an attitude when he gets the field. But 928 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 1: he's getting a little mileage out of it. Now. Now 929 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football knew all of a sudden when they 930 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: came out and they said, oh my gosh, they forgot 931 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: about him, so they had to backtrack, and now they 932 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,800 Speaker 1: now they're making it up to him apologize. So Turnavius 933 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: was on there today and talked about a lot of things, 934 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: including the direction he sees the Buffalo Bill's headed in. 935 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 1: Here's what Turdevious White said this morning on Good Morning Football. 936 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm excited.

So they all just did one year 966 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 1: last year with a new head coach. Well, they own it, 967 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's there's something to take and 968 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: they own it.

It makes a better locker room, makes a 975 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: better atmosphere. Uh, it incorporates the players a little faster 976 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: when it comes from the players, and uh, and it 977 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,439 Speaker 1: sticks with him better.

Man, he's been getting tremendously 993 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: comfortable in the playbook and every day he's getting better 994 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 1: and better. And uh, you know, by that first game 995 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: he's gonna be knocking folks around.

Tredevias says, by training camp will be 997 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 1: one of the best young linebackers in the league. A 998 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago on Our should runs to Alexander 999 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: says he's he's a year two away from being a 1000 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: perennial Pro Bowl player. Are these guys just saying the 1001 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 1: right thing or do you think what they what could 1002 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: they see in these ots. I think there's a little bit. 1003 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of you know, pumping 1004 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,800 Speaker 1: him up a little bit, but I think there's also 1005 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,879 Speaker 1: some genuine respective They see the potential that he has 1006 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,919 Speaker 1: and we're a long way from it. I mean, let's 1007 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: face it, this is you see it around the league 1008 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: all the time. I want to see him get on 1009 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 1: the field and play sixteen games. Yeah, that's the good point. 1010 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: I want to see him available. It's a long way 1011 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: to go, and I as good as he looks. There's 1012 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,919 Speaker 1: been a lot of great players who you know, get 1013 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 1: a turf toe in preseason game and then they're they're 1014 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 1: carrying that baggage around. It hampers their entire rookie season. 1015 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: They thought, you know, they thought here he was gonna 1016 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,320 Speaker 1: be defensive Rookie of the year. He dominated those practices 1017 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 1: so much. You know, you look at uh Jadevion Clowney 1018 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 1: his rookie season foot foot injury. He's out for the 1019 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: year and they didn't even make it that Dante Fouler 1020 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 1: down in Jacksonville, a non contact injury costs him his 1021 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 1: first year. He's never recovered from that. So let's just 1022 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 1: get him to training camp. Let's just get him through 1023 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: training camp. Let's get him on the field for his 1024 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,919 Speaker 1: first year and then and then see how he does. 1025 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: But there's no doubt and in fact, that's you know, 1026 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: the guy was a top of the top half of 1027 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,840 Speaker 1: the first round pick, so he's got all the measurables. 1028 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: He's looking like he's supposed to look. Um, let's get 1029 00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: him there and see what he can do. And then 1030 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: it's gonna take a lot of guys around him playing 1031 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: well as too, So it's not going to just be 1032 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 1: him on an island. He's gonna be part of a 1033 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: good defense theoretically here in Buffalo. But yeah, he's he 1034 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: looks at Yeah, we'll see if he's one of those 1035 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: guys when you look and just look at him, you're 1036 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,800 Speaker 1: drawn to him. You mentioned it that type of listening 1037 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,400 Speaker 1: stature earlier on in the show. You're almost fearful that 1038 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 1: he's not going to get there because he looks so good. 1039 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: Looks he looks so good you're almost hesitant to say, 1040 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,320 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how you know, because you think something's 1041 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: gonna come up to keep that from happen. Because you've 1042 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: never seen a guy play in the league as a 1043 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 1: rookie as good as he looks in practice. That's the problem. 1044 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: So you're almost you don't know what you're even you 1045 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 1: don't even know you you can't even see the future 1046 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,359 Speaker 1: being as bright as it looks for Tremaine Edmonds right now? 1047 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: You know what else I like about being off TV 1048 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: and just doing the radio side today.

There's this news also from 1178 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,719 Speaker 1: the Giants, the New York Giants, And this is a 1179 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: little distressing because I like Dave Gentleman. But the general 1180 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 1: manager of the Giants announced earlier today he has lymphoma. 1181 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,720 Speaker 1: He says, over the past week, I've undergone more testing 1182 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,239 Speaker 1: to determine the course of treatment. Schedules start in the 1183 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,920 Speaker 1: near future. The doctor's outlook is positive, and so he 1184 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: is positive as well. Gentleman said, I will continue to 1185 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 1: work as much as the treatment process will allow. They 1186 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: know when I'm not in the office, I'll be in 1187 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,359 Speaker 1: constant communication with Pat Shermer and the rest of our 1188 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 1: staff and Dave Gentleman, who's been a guest on our 1189 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 1: show several times. The knew although old school general manager 1190 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 1: of the New York Giants, he's gonna have treatment for lymphoma. 1191 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,919 Speaker 1: We wish him well. I like Dave Gentleman. I love Evan. 1192 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,319 Speaker 1: Dave Gentleman back in the league, of course, after he 1193 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 1: was fired by Carolina out for a while and then 1194 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: got back to the Giants, but I love he to 1195 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,319 Speaker 1: me is a little bit like Poleon, just kind of 1196 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,919 Speaker 1: an old school, Rocks, solid basic football guy. I think 1197 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:03,839 Speaker 1: you can't have enough of those guys. In the end, 1198 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,760 Speaker 1: it's better. It's better to have guys like that around 1199 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: because there's their encyclopedias of what's going on, how we 1200 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 1: got to where we're at now. Yeah, you know, I 1201 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 1: mean talk to Bill, He's well, the reason we're here 1202 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: is because back in the day we had this rule 1203 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 1: and we kind of just you know, so you can 1204 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,759 Speaker 1: go back and they can give you a history of 1205 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,920 Speaker 1: how we got into the predicament or whatever predicament we're in. 1206 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,839 Speaker 1: With the National Football League, they have a real good 1207 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,640 Speaker 1: grasp of what the issues are and how they got 1208 00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,400 Speaker 1: into this spot and why they evolved to it. And 1209 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 1: and by knowing where the league has been, it's better, 1210 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 1: it's easier to steer a path out of it. And 1211 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: guys like Gentleman and Bill are always so interesting to 1212 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 1: talk to because they give you that perspective that not 1213 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 1: so many guys can, you know, and um, good for 1214 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,919 Speaker 1: him and that he's that he's with a team that's 1215 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,560 Speaker 1: going to take care of it and give him the 1216 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 1: opportunity to you know, to battle it and be in 1217 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: it with him. Prayers and thoughts with Dave Gentleman for 1218 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,399 Speaker 1: a successful recovery from his Limphoma and a good long 1219 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,480 Speaker 1: run as the general manager of the Giants. I think 1220 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,839 Speaker 1: the league is better when guys like Dave Gentleman are 1221 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: in it, so we wish him well. Uh. Speaking of 1222 00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 1: old school old timers, Bill Belichick spoke to the media 1223 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: today in Foxborough, day one of the mandatory minicamp for 1224 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,719 Speaker 1: the for the Patriots, and Belichick had a couple of 1225 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,319 Speaker 1: things to say, and particularly he was asked a lot 1226 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 1: about the return of Tom Brady and what that meant, 1227 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 1: and as you might imagine, Bill Belichick was not exactly forthcoming. 1228 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,800 Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say players here. It's always 1229 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:36,319 Speaker 1: good to work with all players. Did everyone report? Yeah, 1230 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: for sure. It feel like you and Tom are kind 1231 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: of in a good place right now and good understanding 1232 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,360 Speaker 1: where each other sits. I've always had a good relationship 1233 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:49,839 Speaker 1: with Tom. Ye he's concerned at all that he chose 1234 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 1: to stay away from Ozias this year. He's done that 1235 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 1: before the whole time. Uh. Yeah, if you go back 1236 00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 1: for years, there was times when he was I mean, 1237 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 1: look against volunteer apartment. So that's why it is. That's 1238 00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:08,239 Speaker 1: him about Okay, it's gotta be you think it's tough 1239 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,319 Speaker 1: to be a Patriots beat reporter. Do you think it's 1240 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 1: easy knowing that you'll get that kind of quote from 1241 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 1: from the headman? And that's it could be easy, just 1242 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 1: knowing that you don't really have to worry about it. Yeah, 1243 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 1: here's the thing too. The problem is those because of 1244 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 1: the way Bill Belichick is in seeing follow my reasoning. 1245 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 1: It's more about the reporters than it is Bill and 1246 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,400 Speaker 1: the answers. You guess you're not gonna get anything out 1247 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 1: of him, but you have to do your job. Yeah, 1248 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: you gotta. You gotta ask those questions. And you know 1249 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 1: Bill doesn't want to be asked him, He's totally disinterested 1250 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: in it. But you still gotta get there and you 1251 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 1: gotta say, Okay, Bill, what can he tell us about 1252 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,440 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's absence in the in the OTAs? Oh, well, 1253 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,960 Speaker 1: I just want to talk about the players, you know, 1254 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 1: But you gotta ask. I mean, like so, it's like 1255 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 1: going through the motions of your job and getting nothing 1256 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: in return. And that's gotta be fight and that's all 1257 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 1: they get, really right now, that's all they ever get. 1258 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 1: You gotta ask those questions knowing that you're not gonna 1259 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 1: get anything, and that's all you get from Belichick. I mean, 1260 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 1: nobody's ever when's the last time in significant important quote 1261 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 1: has ever come out of Belichick or quite frankly, any 1262 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 1: of those players under Belichick. Never, they don't say anything. 1263 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: They don't say anything. In fact, you go down the 1264 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:24,840 Speaker 1: list of guys like Matt Patricia and uh uh his 1265 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: name is the guy the new head coach in Tennessee Titans. Um. Yeah, 1266 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 1: the linebacker, Mike Vrabel, Josh McDaniels. You could go down 1267 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,400 Speaker 1: the list of all the coaches that have come out 1268 00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,720 Speaker 1: of that Brian Dable we had on the field, on 1269 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: the restaurant, he like so that you never get anything 1270 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 1: out of all of those guys. You know, it's it's 1271 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 1: a it's a philosophy about competition. If you don't want 1272 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 1: to give away any competitive advantage, you don't want to 1273 00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 1: show any chinks in your armor, you don't want to know, 1274 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 1: you don't even want anybody to know what your train 1275 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 1: of thought is about something. And it's so frustrating to 1276 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 1: have all the access in the world that the NFL gives. 1277 00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they give access to the players and the 1278 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,440 Speaker 1: coaches like no other league in the in the history 1279 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,040 Speaker 1: of the world does and it's got to be frustrating 1280 00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,080 Speaker 1: to have a job to cover it with all that 1281 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: access and have nothing to say, nothing to report, nothing. Yeah, 1282 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 1: that's just crazy. I give him credit. Those reporters down there, 1283 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,560 Speaker 1: and we know a couple of them pretty well, right 1284 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: We have been volin on the show from the Boston 1285 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: Globe and Mike Reee from ESPN in Boston, NFL Nation 1286 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,000 Speaker 1: reporter in Boston, and they do come up with stories 1287 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: in their own way, you know, knowing that they won't 1288 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 1: get anything from the GM or the coach, and they 1289 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 1: very unlikely to get anything on the record from the players. 1290 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 1: Those guys, those good reporters in Boston come up with 1291 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:48,160 Speaker 1: stuff the only chance you've got, and they're few and far. 1292 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 1: Betweens to grab a Patriot player when he's off in 1293 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 1: the offseason doing something else, like catch Tom Brady and Monaco, Well, 1294 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,680 Speaker 1: you know who's got the budget to send me to 1295 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 1: Monaco right to ask him a question in the world 1296 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 1: he's on the get credentialed for the event he was 1297 01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: there for a Formula One race. I mean, oh yeah, 1298 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's nuts. You know what else is good? 1299 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: Good sources for those reporters are former Patriots guys who 1300 01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,040 Speaker 1: play there maybe somewhere else now, many of them are 1301 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 1: willing to talk. Yeah, many of them are in the 1302 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 1: media as well. There's a bunch of guys like that, 1303 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,800 Speaker 1: you know, Teddy, Bruce Ki and the other guys. But 1304 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 1: you're right, but all those guys, even those guys are like, 1305 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to get information out of it. Yea. 1306 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,240 Speaker 1: And Belichick's not going to do it. But they had 1307 01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,480 Speaker 1: them back. They had Brady and Grenkowski at the mandatory 1308 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,440 Speaker 1: mini camp. Today. We'll ask our guests next hour Andrew 1309 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 1: or Albert bree or what it means for the Patriots. 1310 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 1: There's a couple of different thoughts on this. Some people 1311 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,240 Speaker 1: think it it signifies nothing that they'll be too it again. 1312 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 1: I think it will. They will. They'll win there ten, 1313 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 1: they'll win their eleven to thirteen games. I think this 1314 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,240 Speaker 1: year that they'll win ten to thirteen games this year. No, No, 1315 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,920 Speaker 1: eleven to thirteen games. You're right, they'll they'll get more 1316 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 1: than ten wins and and they're going to continue to 1317 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:57,960 Speaker 1: do that as long as Bill Belichick's the head coach. 1318 01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,000 Speaker 1: And I don't care where Tom Brady is. I really 1319 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,520 Speaker 1: believe that you've you've poop pooped that that when Tom 1320 01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,840 Speaker 1: Brady and a lot of people think that when Tom 1321 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 1: Brady retires, New England's gonna go right down the tubes. 1322 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 1: Let me just tell you something is not gonna happen. 1323 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 1: You sure. I am positive. I am positive. I am 1324 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 1: absolutely positive that when Tom Brady retires, the bottom is 1325 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 1: not going to fall out. It's when Bill Belichick leaves 1326 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 1: at the bottom is gonna fall out when he when 1327 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 1: he retires and when he's in a rocking chair or 1328 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,640 Speaker 1: has a steak through his heart like Dracula, then the 1329 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 1: bottom will fall out of think head coach Josh McDaniels 1330 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: will have it together down there. No Bill Belichick, No, no, 1331 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think so.

He does. He's got a full 1372 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,840 Speaker 1: head of hair and he wears it all the way 1373 01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,000 Speaker 1: down past his shoulders. And he doesn't like put it 1374 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,920 Speaker 1: in a ponytail either. I mean, it's out all the time. 1375 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,080 Speaker 1: Good for him. I was, I guess I was twenty 1376 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,120 Speaker 1: two once too, But I never let my hair grow 1377 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,400 Speaker 1: like that. Did you do you ever have long hair 1378 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 1: like that? That's a thing now A lot of guys 1379 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: will do that, even you know NFL players. Man, I 1380 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:54,200 Speaker 1: never had hair like that. You gotta that's a commitment. Yeah, 1381 01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean that would seem to me it would take 1382 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,440 Speaker 1: time to maintain that forever and then you know, I 1383 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,200 Speaker 1: mean I know it'll grow back and all that. I 1384 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 1: don't know, almost make my helmet not fit. But anyway, 1385 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,160 Speaker 1: that's yeah, I'm thinking he's gonna be head and shoulders 1386 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,200 Speaker 1: guy or something like that. You know why I teller? Now, 1387 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,800 Speaker 1: let's Jay. I know I chastise you for being on 1388 01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,760 Speaker 1: the air of this a moment ago. Do you have 1389 01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 1: something to update us on Why I teller? Because I can't. Yes, 1390 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 1: you will be the bearer of less than good news. No, 1391 01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,600 Speaker 1: why a teller? No questions about this hair today? Gosh 1392 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 1: missed out. It's been teasing that. We've been telling everybody's 1393 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 1: that's what we're up against. I mean they we don't 1394 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 1: have you might one bills live for all our power 1395 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 1: and glory. We don't really have much juice here in 1396 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:44,320 Speaker 1: this at all. We're like the bottom of the priority list. Yeah. Absolutely, 1397 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:52,560 Speaker 1: seven or eight weeks, he's probably h yeah, I'm out, 1398 01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm out. He's yeah, he's probably getting his ankles taped 1399 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 1: or something important. I don't know. Whatever. The question who 1400 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,200 Speaker 1: are you rooting for or to make this roster other 1401 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 1: than the first rounders? So who you're looking for to 1402 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,160 Speaker 1: make big contributions. Another one here, Josh McKinney voning for 1403 01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,880 Speaker 1: Brandon Riley, second year player. He did really well last preseason. 1404 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 1: I was really surprised he ended up on the practice squad. Also, 1405 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:14,880 Speaker 1: as much as I love Josh Allen, I'd like to 1406 01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: see mccaren and Peterman thrive as well. That'd be a 1407 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:19,400 Speaker 1: good problem to have if you have to decide among 1408 01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:23,480 Speaker 1: those three quarterbacks. Susan Crowley, I already know a horrible 1409 01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Harry will be extremely dynamic. Wyatt must be fantastic at 1410 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 1: low line position, which is crucial to protecting the quarterback. 1411 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,400 Speaker 1: My boat is for Wyatt. That's Susan Crowley from Belleville, 1412 01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 1: New Jersey and BBL till I die tweets in. If 1413 01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 1: it has to be a rookie, then I want to 1414 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 1: say Taren Johnson if he can handle that corner position 1415 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,160 Speaker 1: and then take over outside corner position. I Bonte doesn't 1416 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 1: re sign next offseason, then the secondary is set. New 1417 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:58,360 Speaker 1: secondary nickname snow zone d okayone yeah, very nice. Yeah. 1418 01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 1: And Nick Blake with a tweet I voted for other. 1419 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm hoping Sheck Lawson shows up this year, a former 1420 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 1: first round draft pick who has not lived up to 1421 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,680 Speaker 1: that pick. If he plays like he did a Clemson, 1422 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,080 Speaker 1: we have one of the best pass rush defenses in 1423 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:13,360 Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, that would be a huge plus because 1424 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:17,320 Speaker 1: they didn't have any last year. Um had two guys 1425 01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 1: with four sacks. That's not gonna that's not gonna be enough. 1426 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 1: They they were thirty first I think in the league. 1427 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Is that right? Thirty first in the league in sacks 1428 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 1: last year with fifty eight on the season, and uh, 1429 01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 1: just any anytime you can. Yeah, it's amazing. They had 1430 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:38,880 Speaker 1: so many turnovers and interceptions last year, which with a 1431 01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 1: lack of a pass rush, Yeah, and a lack of 1432 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,400 Speaker 1: a run defense as well. Well you know whom we 1433 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:45,800 Speaker 1: talked you. We talked with Leslie Frasier kind of about 1434 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 1: it last week. You know that's as much as the 1435 01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 1: numbers show no sacks last year and very little pass rush, 1436 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 1: ye would think something had to be going fairly well 1437 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 1: up front to get all those takeaways, right, I mean yeah, 1438 01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:01,040 Speaker 1: and it was, um, you know, I remember chronicling it, 1439 01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,120 Speaker 1: writing about it on the website last year, especially first 1440 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 1: half of the season when the Bills had their takeaways, 1441 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 1: you can almost directly trace it to pressure on the passer. 1442 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 1: That's the way it usually goes. But the first half 1443 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,560 Speaker 1: of half season they did a pretty good job of 1444 01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 1: keeping the heat on, even though they didn't wind up 1445 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: with many sacks. Yeah, and I think that's the way 1446 01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna go. We've talked about this, I mean almost 1447 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,280 Speaker 1: getting the point because you and I speak about it 1448 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,840 Speaker 1: every day that there's so many things that we just 1449 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:30,120 Speaker 1: don't know yet. What the defense is gonna look like, 1450 01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,200 Speaker 1: who's gonna be merged, the front seven has been revamped. 1451 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 1: How good is Trent Murphy gonna be? Does Star Lotulele 1452 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,320 Speaker 1: make that big a difference? Certainly they have the pedigree 1453 01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:41,200 Speaker 1: to be guys who could make a difference. And this 1454 01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,960 Speaker 1: new offense, it's a completely new offense. Brian Daboll came 1455 01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,840 Speaker 1: in spoke to us. He's still they're installing everything. And 1456 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:49,960 Speaker 1: when they get everything installed, and they'll pick and choose 1457 01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,640 Speaker 1: what their players do best, who's gonna look the best. 1458 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,880 Speaker 1: And in the quarterback race, I mean, is a quarterback 1459 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, is it gonna be an open competition is 1460 01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,120 Speaker 1: does Josh Allen really have a shot at unseat a 1461 01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,560 Speaker 1: veteran like aj McCarron, even though he was brought in 1462 01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 1: to make sure Josh Allen sat the bench for a 1463 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,920 Speaker 1: while to make sure he didn't go in and struggle 1464 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,720 Speaker 1: right off the bat and then you know, have his 1465 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,360 Speaker 1: confidence be broken. All these things are at the point 1466 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,200 Speaker 1: where we speak about him all the time. It's I'm 1467 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,799 Speaker 1: really excited to see what it's gonna look like because 1468 01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,559 Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons, and Murphy you can 1469 01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 1: speak to this too, they over performed their expectations so 1470 01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,639 Speaker 1: much last year. They were like a four win team. 1471 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,080 Speaker 1: Last year they were like projected that over under was like, 1472 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 1: what was it five going in? Yeah, it wasn't that 1473 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,720 Speaker 1: four or five wins last People are off with that 1474 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 1: last year and they end up winning nine games and 1475 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,800 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs. It's an amazing season. So that's 1476 01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:45,080 Speaker 1: why this year when you think, wow, if they overachieve again, 1477 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really fun year. Can't you overachieve 1478 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:51,240 Speaker 1: two years in a row like that? I don't know. 1479 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,760 Speaker 1: I do think the expectation level and I said this 1480 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,000 Speaker 1: last year, Steve, I'm not looking with hindsight here. Going 1481 01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 1: into the year, I predicted the Bills would have between 1482 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 1: seven and nine wins. They wound up with nine. But 1483 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,880 Speaker 1: there were several people out there who said, it's a 1484 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,240 Speaker 1: three win team, a four win team. They don't have it. 1485 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,920 Speaker 1: They traded away Sammy Watkins, they're tanking. You remember that narrative, 1486 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,160 Speaker 1: they're tanking. Well, no, they didn't come close to tanking 1487 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:15,639 Speaker 1: last traightaway ron Darby. Yeah, trade away Ronald Darby. Yet 1488 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 1: you know they had issues. But I do think it's 1489 01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:23,680 Speaker 1: something And I was talking to somebody about it over 1490 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 1: the weekend at the Kelly Events Sunday night. What doesn't 1491 01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 1: you know? You're right now, it's personnel. You look at rosters, right, 1492 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,240 Speaker 1: what's this personnel made of? What do they lack? What 1493 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 1: do they have? They need receivers? Get it. I get 1494 01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 1: all that. But I do think people underestimate what a 1495 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 1: difference coaching can make. And we saw it here with 1496 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 1: this group last year. Absolutely, the focus and the attention, 1497 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,439 Speaker 1: the detail that this group brought, this coaching staff brought 1498 01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,360 Speaker 1: to this team last year was good for I don't know, 1499 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,240 Speaker 1: you want to quantify it, maybe a win, a win 1500 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 1: and a half at least, there's no reason why that 1501 01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,879 Speaker 1: won't continue again this year. The coaching staff remains relatively intact. 1502 01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:03,240 Speaker 1: Second year in the program for these coaches and their players. Again, 1503 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:07,040 Speaker 1: I think the coaching staff adds uh value to whatever 1504 01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 1: this roster looks like. Yes, you need you need roster improvements, 1505 01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,080 Speaker 1: you need receiver receiving help here. But I do think 1506 01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: that people underestimate how important coaching is, how important culture is, 1507 01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, and all you gotta do is it's It's 1508 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,559 Speaker 1: been talked about a lot in the offseason. McDermot will 1509 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,280 Speaker 1: talk about it, Brandon being talked about it. The three 1510 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,640 Speaker 1: games stretch in the middle, those three straight losses in November, 1511 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,120 Speaker 1: horrible losses to the Patriots and the and the Saints 1512 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,720 Speaker 1: and then out West in Los Angeles. They survived that. 1513 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:40,600 Speaker 1: Some teams like Miami Dolphins, for example, Yeah, pull the 1514 01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:42,800 Speaker 1: plug when something like that happens. So, you know, think 1515 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,200 Speaker 1: about it's November twentieth. The Bills have gotten smoked three 1516 01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:50,160 Speaker 1: straight weeks, including you know, they switched quarterbacks and got 1517 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 1: the torched out West by the Chargers November twentieth. You've 1518 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,800 Speaker 1: got what six weeks remaining after that? Right, that was 1519 01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,240 Speaker 1: a week number ten, so six games left. Some teams 1520 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:02,000 Speaker 1: would have just said, Okay, where's the exit. I see 1521 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:03,800 Speaker 1: the end of the season, We're done. Yeah, there's no 1522 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 1: playoffs in our future. This team didn't, and that to 1523 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,599 Speaker 1: me was maybe the defining characteristic of the twenty seventeen 1524 01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 1: Bill season, the fact that they did not pull the 1525 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:15,920 Speaker 1: plug and packing in, you know, with those three straight 1526 01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,000 Speaker 1: losses in the middle of the year. That all points 1527 01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 1: to Sean McDermot and the culture they got and the 1528 01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 1: guys they brought in and the things that they communicated 1529 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,280 Speaker 1: to their players that they thought were important that their 1530 01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,880 Speaker 1: players really held onto. It was playing for each other, 1531 01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,719 Speaker 1: having respect in the locker room, working hard every day, 1532 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,599 Speaker 1: the great players buying in like LaShaun McCoy, Tyrod Taylor, 1533 01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,840 Speaker 1: those guys the main focus points. Kyle Williams of course, 1534 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,040 Speaker 1: who all bought in and worked hard day and day out, 1535 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,320 Speaker 1: and they just wouldn't let that bar drop when the 1536 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,400 Speaker 1: season seemed to be going south pretty fast. And I 1537 01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:53,200 Speaker 1: think you said maybe the coaching was maybe one one 1538 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:54,880 Speaker 1: point five wins. I think it was. I think it 1539 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,679 Speaker 1: was more than that. I think it was way more 1540 01:11:56,720 --> 01:12:00,160 Speaker 1: than that. I think I think it accounted four or 1541 01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,479 Speaker 1: maybe all those wins, and the differences between what people 1542 01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 1: outside the building perceived and what happened inside the building. 1543 01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:08,200 Speaker 1: It might have been all the way up to four 1544 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,160 Speaker 1: or five wins that last season because of the culture 1545 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,400 Speaker 1: they instilled in the coaching they got and a lot 1546 01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,640 Speaker 1: of people and I we've gone around this too, that 1547 01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:19,640 Speaker 1: you know they blamed thirty first in the league in 1548 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:26,120 Speaker 1: passing on an offensive coordinator. I didn't you could see 1549 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,880 Speaker 1: watching film, You could see watching games with you could 1550 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 1: see the eye test. And I watched a game this 1551 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:35,599 Speaker 1: last year from the stands. You know, it was the 1552 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,680 Speaker 1: fact that they'd had a quarterback who was hesitant to 1553 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:39,640 Speaker 1: throw it, who didn't want to turn it over, who 1554 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:41,719 Speaker 1: knew his team had a chance if they just didn't 1555 01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,920 Speaker 1: turn it over, and wouldn't take those chances, and wouldn't 1556 01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 1: put the ball in the windows that he wasn't sure 1557 01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,120 Speaker 1: of and wasn't accurate enough on some of the throws 1558 01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,240 Speaker 1: they even completed, leaving a lot of yards on the 1559 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,600 Speaker 1: table and run after the ketch because the receiver was 1560 01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:55,519 Speaker 1: turning the wrong way into the defender and stead of 1561 01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: away from the defender and up the field. Small minute 1562 01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,360 Speaker 1: things like that or kept this team in this offense 1563 01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:04,960 Speaker 1: kind of stagnant. But what the coaching staff did I 1564 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:09,920 Speaker 1: thought surpassed, I think all my expectations and really illustrated. 1565 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,560 Speaker 1: I think for me taught me a lesson again that 1566 01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:14,720 Speaker 1: I knew about that but had maybe forgotten to not 1567 01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:18,759 Speaker 1: seen enough of. Culture makes a big different, big different 1568 01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 1: year they did last year, and there's no reason to 1569 01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,479 Speaker 1: think it won't this year. Right still putting this roster together, 1570 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,000 Speaker 1: I believe they're probably got to move or two left, 1571 01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,600 Speaker 1: most notably at the wide receiver spot. So you have 1572 01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,280 Speaker 1: this roster now, these nine eighty nine players, I believe 1573 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,679 Speaker 1: it is now going to camping about what's six weeks now, 1574 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 1: six weeks away before you go to training camp. You 1575 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,719 Speaker 1: know they'll get there with whatever they have on the roster. 1576 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,400 Speaker 1: And I do think that the groundwork that's being laid 1577 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,120 Speaker 1: now with these OTAs and during the spring workouts will 1578 01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,720 Speaker 1: carry over and I think they'll be better than their 1579 01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,519 Speaker 1: roster would indicate they might be because they were last year. 1580 01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,519 Speaker 1: That's mine's all as well. And it's easy to say 1581 01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,439 Speaker 1: that right now because this is you know, it does 1582 01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:03,280 Speaker 1: look like a flawed team. You have to say any 1583 01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:06,000 Speaker 1: and that's the assumption. I think the national media falls 1584 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,840 Speaker 1: into this trap a lot. Anybody who's new on the 1585 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:13,320 Speaker 1: team seems to be like a downgrade. Draft picks seem 1586 01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:17,600 Speaker 1: to be question marks. They don't they don't get that 1587 01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:19,200 Speaker 1: some of these guys are going to come in and 1588 01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:23,200 Speaker 1: be better. They see Cordy Glenn going away and they 1589 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,000 Speaker 1: don't look one step deeper and say, well, you know what, 1590 01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:27,920 Speaker 1: he was out for eleven games last year and our 1591 01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,559 Speaker 1: left tackle went to the playoffs. You know, they don't 1592 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,800 Speaker 1: get that stuff like that on the rosters that happened. 1593 01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:34,479 Speaker 1: And I get it too. We do the same thing 1594 01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 1: for teams we don't know so much about. Even in 1595 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,439 Speaker 1: the AFC East. You look down at Miami and all 1596 01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:41,320 Speaker 1: the change that's happened here. You telling me Ryan Tannehill 1597 01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:43,439 Speaker 1: is going to come back with a better offense without 1598 01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,240 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry and without Jayagi. Well, the Dolphins look around, 1599 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,160 Speaker 1: they say, yeah, we might be better. So we'll see. 1600 01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,559 Speaker 1: We can ask out Albert Brewer when he comes on 1601 01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:56,599 Speaker 1: today if he thinks that's the case. Adam Gaye seems 1602 01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,160 Speaker 1: to think so. He's come out and said that he 1603 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,160 Speaker 1: likes where they're at. But then again, and everybody will 1604 01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,360 Speaker 1: tell you everybody likes their team at this time of year. Yeah, 1605 01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:05,960 Speaker 1: everybody does. All right, a break care. We're back with more. 1606 01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,120 Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker, One Bill's Live from One Bill's 1607 01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:23,680 Speaker 1: Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to 1608 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. John Murphy along with Steve Tasker. We 1609 01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 1: are in our offices today outside our studios that are 1610 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,639 Speaker 1: being refurbished. So if we sound a little fuzzy around 1611 01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,479 Speaker 1: the edges, that may be the reason otherwise that we're 1612 01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,120 Speaker 1: we're plowing us. Yeah, well, I don't know. I just 1613 01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 1: didn't know what to say. We got so we started 1614 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 1: so Wyatt Teller had at a previous engagement. They got 1615 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:46,880 Speaker 1: him off, so we didn't. We're not gonna be able 1616 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 1: to get Hyatt on. And we were thinking about what 1617 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,200 Speaker 1: else we could talk about, and the topic of that 1618 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,160 Speaker 1: that has been swirling around the NFL and every place 1619 01:15:56,200 --> 01:16:00,360 Speaker 1: else has been this gambling thing. Darren Ravell on Twitter 1620 01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:04,360 Speaker 1: thirty minutes ago Delaware, or thirty minutes ago before Delaware 1621 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,200 Speaker 1: took its first single game sports Best. The Sheets have 1622 01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,360 Speaker 1: been put out a Dover down sports book and they 1623 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,640 Speaker 1: have a disclaimer at the bottom, which is interesting. The 1624 01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:16,599 Speaker 1: Delaware Sports Lottery is sponsored solely by the Delaware State 1625 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 1: Lottery and is not associated with or authorized by any 1626 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:24,920 Speaker 1: professional or collegiate sports organization. And that, of course is 1627 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,960 Speaker 1: right before they give you the Pro baseball odds to win, 1628 01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:32,280 Speaker 1: the Pro football odds to win, and the soccer odds 1629 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 1: to win on the World Cup Soccer Championships. So they've 1630 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,679 Speaker 1: got all this these lines out and if you're wanting 1631 01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:42,519 Speaker 1: to know what the lines are, let's just see where 1632 01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:48,439 Speaker 1: they are. The Bills are one hundred and twenty five 1633 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:53,719 Speaker 1: to one on the championship. One hundred and twenty five 1634 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 1: to one that I'm looking that is to win the championship, Okay, 1635 01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,800 Speaker 1: forty to one to win the AFC at It's like, yeah, 1636 01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,559 Speaker 1: I've found that one yet. And as far as winning 1637 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,320 Speaker 1: ABC East, they are nine to one. It appears this 1638 01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,040 Speaker 1: is in Delaware sports book which went up today. I 1639 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 1: think the governor of Delaware just made the first sports 1640 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:15,479 Speaker 1: book bet in Delaware. It's it's legal in Delaware. Coming 1641 01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,919 Speaker 1: to New York. Yeah, the Bills to win the championship 1642 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,439 Speaker 1: one hundred twenty five to one. Yea, And I think 1643 01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,519 Speaker 1: that may be May be as hot. They are the 1644 01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 1: highest next to the Browns. Only the Browns. The Browns 1645 01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,120 Speaker 1: and the Bears and the Bills are one twenty five 1646 01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,439 Speaker 1: to one, and then you got the Jets and the 1647 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:39,320 Speaker 1: Bengals and the Dolphins and the Buccaneers at one hundred 1648 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 1: to one, and everybody else is less than that. I 1649 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:43,640 Speaker 1: how about that? How do they do they? Why are 1650 01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,760 Speaker 1: the Bills they were in the playoffs last year exactly? 1651 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:49,240 Speaker 1: You know? And I asked what I get, and you 1652 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,160 Speaker 1: know what, they said, odds based on how they're going 1653 01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,960 Speaker 1: to generate money, so nobody. Yes, they're trying to figure 1654 01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,400 Speaker 1: out who's got a chance to win it, But what 1655 01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,040 Speaker 1: they're really doing is what's going to generate the most bets. 1656 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,280 Speaker 1: So somehow, some what he thinks that they want to 1657 01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,760 Speaker 1: generate some money on all thirty two teams, so that 1658 01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:07,599 Speaker 1: by putting the Bills out, there's you know, out as 1659 01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:12,280 Speaker 1: a long shot, they're gonna generate more money. Now the Patriots, 1660 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:17,280 Speaker 1: as of course, everybody's five to one. Eagles are nine 1661 01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:21,800 Speaker 1: to two. H Yeah, so there you got Steelers ten 1662 01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,360 Speaker 1: to one. The Bills are the second choice in the afcast. 1663 01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:30,200 Speaker 1: They got the Patriots. Um, I can't read that seven 1664 01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 1: to I don't know what that is. Let me see here, 1665 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 1: Patriots are the favorites to win the East, the Bills 1666 01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 1: second choice at nine to one, Dolphins twelve to one, 1667 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:45,040 Speaker 1: Jets twelve to one, Patriots are minus seven hundred. That 1668 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:49,479 Speaker 1: seems right there you go, um, But why Steve help 1669 01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,280 Speaker 1: me out here. I don't know anything about betting the 1670 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,960 Speaker 1: Jets and the Dolphins. Well, they're right, you know, the Dolphins. 1671 01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 1: How can the Dolphins be one hundred and one shots 1672 01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,760 Speaker 1: to win the championship with the Bills are one twenty 1673 01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 1: five one, the Jets one, and yet the Bills are 1674 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 1: our favorite ahead of those two to finish second in 1675 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 1: the AFC East. I mean, what are they saying? Yes, 1676 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,960 Speaker 1: the Bills might make the playoffs. That's the thing. Now, 1677 01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:14,840 Speaker 1: it has nothing. Here's the thing. Here's what you've got 1678 01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:18,000 Speaker 1: to remember. It is not about who they think is 1679 01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:20,600 Speaker 1: actually gonna win. It's not about who they think is 1680 01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,840 Speaker 1: a better football team. It's not about who they think 1681 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,120 Speaker 1: is the better players, or what happened last year or 1682 01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:29,040 Speaker 1: their history. What it is about is the anticipation of 1683 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,320 Speaker 1: how much money will be bet if those lines are 1684 01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 1: or given out. They want um. It's about what people 1685 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:39,240 Speaker 1: are willing to bet, and that's what those lines are about. 1686 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:41,880 Speaker 1: It's not about who they think, it's about who they 1687 01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:45,639 Speaker 1: what they think the public perception is more than what 1688 01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:47,559 Speaker 1: it is about who they actually think will do it, 1689 01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,439 Speaker 1: and that's that's what it's about. And whether it's right 1690 01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:52,760 Speaker 1: or wrong is irrelevant. It's about where they think the 1691 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,439 Speaker 1: money's gonna go. They're betting in Delaware on Pro football, 1692 01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,519 Speaker 1: and once the season starts out, I'll really get interesting, 1693 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:01,960 Speaker 1: I believe. And I heard an interview this morning that 1694 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 1: the New York State Legislature, which will be in session 1695 01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:09,400 Speaker 1: for another couple of weeks, may approve sports books for 1696 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:13,160 Speaker 1: the existing casinos in New York State, and that would 1697 01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,320 Speaker 1: be they I believe. I heard that they would not 1698 01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,040 Speaker 1: be up and running this fall. It maybe it would 1699 01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:19,719 Speaker 1: be next fall before. I find that hard to believe. 1700 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,000 Speaker 1: There's there's infrastructure, you gotta build it. I may have 1701 01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:26,320 Speaker 1: heard that wrong, I do have. I mean, why wouldn't man, 1702 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,800 Speaker 1: they would be if I was leaving money on the table, 1703 01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 1: yea even leaving a ton of money on the table, 1704 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:33,519 Speaker 1: A ton of money on the table. But yeah, I 1705 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm the I'm the last guy to think 1706 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,760 Speaker 1: did I know how that stuff works better than anybody else? 1707 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:44,880 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm not. I've never been a big, big 1708 01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:49,559 Speaker 1: time casino guy or gambler and uh to sports bet 1709 01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:53,640 Speaker 1: because it has been illegal, I've never taken part in 1710 01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:56,000 Speaker 1: it at all. So when this came up, the Supreme 1711 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:57,640 Speaker 1: Court ruling a couple of weeks ago, I know, we 1712 01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:59,519 Speaker 1: did a show maybe a show and a half about 1713 01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:02,200 Speaker 1: talking about Steven. We both thought at the time this 1714 01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,920 Speaker 1: was momentous, this is gonna change everything. Well, I was 1715 01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:07,719 Speaker 1: thinking about it again this morning, thinking how much really 1716 01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:09,360 Speaker 1: is it going to change? You know, people are have 1717 01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:14,360 Speaker 1: been betting on football for for decades forever, and they 1718 01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,559 Speaker 1: have legal betting the only way it would really be 1719 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,439 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I'm just trying to think through it. It 1720 01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:24,200 Speaker 1: could be significant if people who normally don't bet start betting, 1721 01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:28,320 Speaker 1: and the access through legal sports books might make that 1722 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,000 Speaker 1: the case. But are people are really gonna change their 1723 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,920 Speaker 1: habits that much? If you don't bet on football now, 1724 01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:36,599 Speaker 1: are you gonna change once there's a legal sports book? 1725 01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean, are significant number is gonna change? Will? I 1726 01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:43,280 Speaker 1: think it will also depend a lot on how convenient 1727 01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,120 Speaker 1: and easy, it is, right, And if it's as convenient 1728 01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,040 Speaker 1: is going on your laptop and do it? Well, if 1729 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:50,160 Speaker 1: how much am I gonna have to pay to do that? 1730 01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,160 Speaker 1: Am I gonna to make a ten dollars bet? Am 1731 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,679 Speaker 1: I gonna have to pay fifteen bucks or thirteen bucks 1732 01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:57,640 Speaker 1: or eleven bucks or just ten fifty? You know? Is? 1733 01:21:57,760 --> 01:21:59,120 Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna make a little bit of a 1734 01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:00,920 Speaker 1: difference too. Now I'm willing to pay a little more 1735 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,120 Speaker 1: if it if it is convenient, if it's if I 1736 01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,519 Speaker 1: can just sit here on my phone and make a 1737 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:08,920 Speaker 1: bet and it only costs me, you know, fifty cents 1738 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:10,760 Speaker 1: more to do it on my phone rather than what 1739 01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:13,439 Speaker 1: going online or something other than that I have to 1740 01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:15,679 Speaker 1: have to be there to make it cheaper to bet. 1741 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, maybe maybe I don't know. That's 1742 01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:20,680 Speaker 1: a that's a question. But I think that's what it's 1743 01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 1: going to come down to, Murph, is how easy it's 1744 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,559 Speaker 1: gonna be. Yeah, how accessible it is? The thing that 1745 01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 1: got us go on a couple of Well, it was 1746 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 1: almost a month ago now when the Supreme Court ruling 1747 01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,640 Speaker 1: came out. I think we both immediately fast forwarded to 1748 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:39,760 Speaker 1: online on your phone, immediate gambling accessible to everybody, that 1749 01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,640 Speaker 1: might take a while to get up and running. And 1750 01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:46,799 Speaker 1: I don't know if if things will significantly differently significantly different, 1751 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:50,839 Speaker 1: I should say, until that's the case, until it's accessible online, 1752 01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 1: when you can knock going on bet online on your phone, Yeah, 1753 01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:55,519 Speaker 1: while you sit at a game on what's going to 1754 01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:58,400 Speaker 1: happen on the next first down? Even I think more 1755 01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,600 Speaker 1: than anything, it takes And maybe I'm wrong about this, 1756 01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 1: I don't know, but wouldn't it take the lid off 1757 01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:08,600 Speaker 1: the fantasy you know, like Draft King because you know, 1758 01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:11,439 Speaker 1: they've struggled so much because they you know, because it's 1759 01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:16,040 Speaker 1: online gambling and they it was it was perceived as such. 1760 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:18,800 Speaker 1: But now that that's off, wouldn't it bring Draft King 1761 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:24,840 Speaker 1: and um fan Duel back online and really make them 1762 01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:28,200 Speaker 1: viable again? I mean, because they kind of they were 1763 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:30,799 Speaker 1: huge for about a minute and then they went away, 1764 01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,000 Speaker 1: and now they should be back in the game, should 1765 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,040 Speaker 1: they not? I mean? And it should raise the stakes, 1766 01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:37,960 Speaker 1: should it not? I mean that to me is the 1767 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:40,639 Speaker 1: is the most obvious place where people can put money 1768 01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,760 Speaker 1: and win money with their own skills about you know, 1769 01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 1: picking fantasy team. So I would think that would be 1770 01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:48,920 Speaker 1: a place where you'd see it quicker than anything else. 1771 01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,200 Speaker 1: You wonder how quick it'll get going here in New 1772 01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 1: York State. Now they're betting in Delaware. UM. The legislative 1773 01:23:55,200 --> 01:24:00,640 Speaker 1: session has about ten days left in Albany. UM, and 1774 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,720 Speaker 1: the pressure is on too. You know, it's funny the UH, 1775 01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:07,160 Speaker 1: the leagues know what's at state. Joe Tory, former Yankee manager, 1776 01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:10,320 Speaker 1: went to Albany the other day to UH to speak 1777 01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:14,679 Speaker 1: on behalf of Major League Baseball. UM. They're they're arguing 1778 01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 1: for a piece of the pie. UM. And they're also 1779 01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,080 Speaker 1: are they use the protecting their sport? What do they 1780 01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:22,760 Speaker 1: call it? The integrity fee? Yeah, UM, it's it's kind 1781 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,240 Speaker 1: of couched in that terms. But Joe Torry went there 1782 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:27,519 Speaker 1: the other day to talk about he works for Major 1783 01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,320 Speaker 1: League Baseball, to talk about, you know, giving some money 1784 01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:33,519 Speaker 1: to the to the sports leagues, to the teams. UM. 1785 01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:36,679 Speaker 1: Delaware taking bets today. New Jersey may pass a bill 1786 01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,400 Speaker 1: this week to allow it. It's kind of moving slowly 1787 01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 1: here in New York State. UM. There's a bill in 1788 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:48,920 Speaker 1: the state Senate UM that is UH is favored by 1789 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,840 Speaker 1: the Republicans who control the State Senate. UH. In the 1790 01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 1: Assembly controlled by Democrats. There are some concerns about the 1791 01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,759 Speaker 1: societal impacts of sports betting and reading Associated Press report 1792 01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:03,639 Speaker 1: on this, and the casino operators say leave it to us, 1793 01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,719 Speaker 1: leave it to casinos. But they're also talking about mobile 1794 01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:10,040 Speaker 1: sports betting, off track betting facilities that would partner with 1795 01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:14,920 Speaker 1: the casino. It's all it's happening quickly, and you know, 1796 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,439 Speaker 1: it may be in some respects to be happening too 1797 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,839 Speaker 1: quickly in terms of what the state wants, and especially 1798 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:22,719 Speaker 1: in terms of what the leagues want, what the NFL 1799 01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:25,040 Speaker 1: and what Major League Baseball and the other sports want. 1800 01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,360 Speaker 1: They want the first of all, they want to cut him. 1801 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:29,479 Speaker 1: You would have to say that they want their integrity 1802 01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,360 Speaker 1: feed they'll call it. Secondly, they do, and I don't 1803 01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:35,400 Speaker 1: think they're being totally dishonest when they talk about we 1804 01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:37,880 Speaker 1: got to protect the integrity of our sport. I do 1805 01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:40,320 Speaker 1: think they want to make sure they're safeguards in place 1806 01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:43,479 Speaker 1: so the things don't fall apart. Well. Again, the thought 1807 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:46,160 Speaker 1: is that it would be easy for the leagues to 1808 01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:52,160 Speaker 1: manipulate outcomes if it benefited them financially. For instance, they 1809 01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,840 Speaker 1: get into a spot where the league would benefit financially 1810 01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:58,280 Speaker 1: from a certain and then they say, you know what, 1811 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:01,640 Speaker 1: tom Brady's got to hang now, he's kind of play today, 1812 01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:06,120 Speaker 1: you know, And having them on an integrity fee would 1813 01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:10,720 Speaker 1: in essence obligate them to play it above board, say well, 1814 01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,840 Speaker 1: if he's healthy, he's going to play. So without that, 1815 01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,479 Speaker 1: they could manipulate those numbers in any way, shape or 1816 01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:20,000 Speaker 1: form they wanted to by either giving or withholding information 1817 01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:24,360 Speaker 1: about injuries, giving or withholding information about policies and players 1818 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:30,080 Speaker 1: and their availability, their eligibility. What happens if the commissioner, 1819 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, if it's without the integrity fee, the commissioner 1820 01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:37,720 Speaker 1: the NFL could throw down a million dollar bet and 1821 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,760 Speaker 1: then suspend one of the players to make sure his 1822 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,040 Speaker 1: bet comes through. You know, that kind of thing. I'm 1823 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:45,240 Speaker 1: exaggerating the obvious to make a point. I don't think 1824 01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:47,800 Speaker 1: that would ever happen, but certainly that's on the you know, 1825 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,479 Speaker 1: that kind of thing is what we're talking about. With 1826 01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:53,640 Speaker 1: an integrity fee, it would obligate everybody who's affiliated with 1827 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:57,719 Speaker 1: the league to behave in a certain way and abstain 1828 01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:01,400 Speaker 1: from certain behaviors as well. Without that, the league is 1829 01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:05,320 Speaker 1: under no obligation to do any favors for the Gambling Commission, 1830 01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:09,759 Speaker 1: or do any favors for any of the gambling sites 1831 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:13,839 Speaker 1: or any of the states who are allowing them allowing 1832 01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:18,559 Speaker 1: entities to gamble on their game. So that right there 1833 01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:23,200 Speaker 1: is the reason, the obvious reasons why an integrity fee 1834 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,519 Speaker 1: would be in place. There is already a bill past 1835 01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:28,760 Speaker 1: five years ago in New York State that puts kind 1836 01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:31,559 Speaker 1: of the framework in mind or in motion, and it 1837 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:35,400 Speaker 1: includes only new commercial casinos that don't operate with Indian 1838 01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,880 Speaker 1: Nations can host sportsbook. Now that's not approved yet, but 1839 01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 1: it would mean for casinos that are not affiliated with 1840 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:46,959 Speaker 1: Indian Nations. Rivers Casino and Resort in Schenectady, Resorts WorldCat 1841 01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:50,080 Speaker 1: Skills near Monticello, New York, Delago Resort Casino in the 1842 01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:55,639 Speaker 1: Finger Lakes, Tayoga Downs in the Southern Tier. Legislators are 1843 01:27:55,680 --> 01:28:00,040 Speaker 1: rewriting the law to allow remote locations online betting. A 1844 01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,000 Speaker 1: bill passed the law past five years ago says betters 1845 01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:07,679 Speaker 1: must be physically president's casino sports lodges to wager, but 1846 01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:10,880 Speaker 1: there are versions of bills in both the Senate and 1847 01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,360 Speaker 1: Assembly in New York State that would allow a smartphone 1848 01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 1: betting or another device. The law past five years ago. 1849 01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:19,240 Speaker 1: This is interesting. They didn't know this prohibits betting on 1850 01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:22,200 Speaker 1: games played by New York State college teams like University 1851 01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,479 Speaker 1: at Buffalo or Syracuse University, or prohibit it also a 1852 01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,400 Speaker 1: prohibit sporting event betting on sporting events taking place within 1853 01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:31,000 Speaker 1: New York State, like a Yankees game in the Bronx 1854 01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,679 Speaker 1: or a Bills game here in Archard Park. They're considering 1855 01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:37,040 Speaker 1: eliminating those bands. I would think that'd be that'd be 1856 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 1: paramount a cut of the action. The Senate bill gives 1857 01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:43,840 Speaker 1: the leagues what you were just talking about, Steve, the 1858 01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,920 Speaker 1: integrity fee. The bill in the State Assembly caused a royalty. 1859 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,400 Speaker 1: It's supposed amount about point two five percent of all 1860 01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:53,080 Speaker 1: wagers if it makes the final cuts. So there is 1861 01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:57,519 Speaker 1: there's a framework in place that involves those casinos, those four, 1862 01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:00,559 Speaker 1: not any casinos in New York State just at taking 1863 01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, to start taking bets. But the thing hasn't 1864 01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:06,639 Speaker 1: passed yet. Yeah, back all the way back on March 1865 01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:10,560 Speaker 1: seventh and twenty eighteen, I was an introduced comprehensive legislation 1866 01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,519 Speaker 1: in New York. This is in New York State. Now 1867 01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,680 Speaker 1: there are fifty states. They all have to do this 1868 01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:21,040 Speaker 1: on their own because the Supreme Court ruling put it 1869 01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:24,360 Speaker 1: out to the states basically, and that's why the leagues 1870 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,680 Speaker 1: have all gone back to the Congress said, listen, you 1871 01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:30,519 Speaker 1: got to give us some framework, some universal framework for 1872 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:32,880 Speaker 1: putting this in place, because we have we work in 1873 01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:35,760 Speaker 1: all fifty states, and if they're all different, it's going 1874 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:38,040 Speaker 1: to put a burden on an undue burden on the 1875 01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:41,800 Speaker 1: industry to h to handle it fifty different ways. So, 1876 01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,840 Speaker 1: but on March seventh, bill was introduced in New York state. Uh, 1877 01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:50,479 Speaker 1: it's both. It would address both in person and mobile 1878 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:54,320 Speaker 1: sports betting in New York. It's a fourteen page bill 1879 01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:58,880 Speaker 1: and includes detailed provisions about tax rates, consumer protection, better eligibility, 1880 01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,639 Speaker 1: and restrict on certain types of sports wagers. The bill 1881 01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 1: also established would also establish a sports betting Integrity Fund 1882 01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:09,200 Speaker 1: and the mechanisms for the payment of the integrity feed 1883 01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:12,680 Speaker 1: of the sports leagues. And the Senate held an informational 1884 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:18,240 Speaker 1: hearing on that bill back in January of this year. 1885 01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:22,679 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of questions. Yeah, and it's they've 1886 01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 1: got to get on it. They're betting in Delaware as 1887 01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:28,200 Speaker 1: of today, as of forty five minutes ago, and is 1888 01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:29,760 Speaker 1: it coming to New York State? You would think so, 1889 01:30:30,120 --> 01:30:32,160 Speaker 1: but not quite yet. A call on the Montoni in 1890 01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 1: New York City with thoughts on sports book betting in 1891 01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:38,120 Speaker 1: New York, Tony. What do you think? Hey, how's it going? 1892 01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:41,720 Speaker 1: We're just in general, but I'm just really interested to 1893 01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:44,200 Speaker 1: see where this go because if you think about it, Um, 1894 01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,679 Speaker 1: you guys have brought up you know, play to play betting. 1895 01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:49,040 Speaker 1: You know what's going to be the next play and 1896 01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:52,800 Speaker 1: two prong? You know is that going to change? You 1897 01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:54,960 Speaker 1: know the play clock. I know every sport wants to 1898 01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, trim that down to make you know, get 1899 01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:01,519 Speaker 1: more plays, more scoring, faster pay. Um, if you cut 1900 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:04,559 Speaker 1: that time down anymore, it's gonna be virtually impossible to 1901 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:07,719 Speaker 1: get a play in or a bet in. And then also, 1902 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,800 Speaker 1: you know what what's gonna be the you know that 1903 01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:13,400 Speaker 1: the cutoffs. You know, if you wait until they snap 1904 01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:15,960 Speaker 1: the ball and you're betting on a run or a pass, 1905 01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:18,360 Speaker 1: you know, if they're five wide, you you know it's 1906 01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,160 Speaker 1: ninety five plus percent chance that they're gonna be throwing 1907 01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:23,640 Speaker 1: the ball. Uh, and you know you're just going to 1908 01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:26,559 Speaker 1: be making money hand over fifth like that. So um, 1909 01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:29,040 Speaker 1: it's really going to be interesting to see what kind 1910 01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:32,479 Speaker 1: of rules and regulations they put in place and how 1911 01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:36,120 Speaker 1: they control all this. Yeah, that's true, and it might 1912 01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:39,360 Speaker 1: get down to they'll probably this is all this is 1913 01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:41,000 Speaker 1: all on the horizon. I mean, none of this is 1914 01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,320 Speaker 1: going to happen overnight, and I think it'll evolve into 1915 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:45,240 Speaker 1: what you're talking about. It where a play by play 1916 01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:48,479 Speaker 1: bet that kind of thing. Plus you got to remember 1917 01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:50,919 Speaker 1: too that even though they go drop back to pass, 1918 01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,439 Speaker 1: if everybody's covered in the quarterback scrambles and gets the yard, 1919 01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:56,679 Speaker 1: it's a run, you know, that kind of thing. So 1920 01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:59,160 Speaker 1: there's all kinds of ways to look at it, even 1921 01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:02,080 Speaker 1: though that you can say ninety five percent of the 1922 01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:04,439 Speaker 1: time it's going to go, but it doesn't work that 1923 01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,200 Speaker 1: way in live sports. That's why it's so intriguing to 1924 01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:10,479 Speaker 1: bet on it. But I think I would have a 1925 01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:14,760 Speaker 1: hard time seeing the NFL, particularly given the fact that 1926 01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:17,680 Speaker 1: they have an integrity fee tinkering with the game in 1927 01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:23,960 Speaker 1: order to bow to the wishes of betters that would 1928 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,639 Speaker 1: take them down a slippery slope in any way shape 1929 01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:28,600 Speaker 1: or for them, even if it was something as innocuous 1930 01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:32,559 Speaker 1: as a shortening the playtime or lengthening the play clock. 1931 01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:35,519 Speaker 1: I think that's a really slippery slope to head down, 1932 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:38,280 Speaker 1: although you know, who knows where this is going to evolve. 1933 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:41,400 Speaker 1: This is a way down you know, way down the field, 1934 01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:46,320 Speaker 1: way down the road. But yeah, I mean, at this point, 1935 01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:51,680 Speaker 1: we're so early in this conversation, it's impossible to anticipate 1936 01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:55,000 Speaker 1: how far down that rabbit hole and how far reaching 1937 01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:57,720 Speaker 1: the effects are going to go, and how high they're 1938 01:32:57,720 --> 01:32:59,759 Speaker 1: gonna go. Whether it's going to be policies in place, 1939 01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:02,679 Speaker 1: obviously because of the laws, there will be, but how 1940 01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,640 Speaker 1: far the policies in place will go toward the individual 1941 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:07,800 Speaker 1: guy that's walking into the stadium with, you know, a 1942 01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:10,000 Speaker 1: twenty dollars bill in his hand, it wants to lay 1943 01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,280 Speaker 1: it down on some aspect of the game. So all 1944 01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:16,200 Speaker 1: that stuff remains to be seen. But you go to 1945 01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:19,280 Speaker 1: and this the information I read about the the bill 1946 01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,800 Speaker 1: in New York that was passes on a on the 1947 01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:26,200 Speaker 1: ESPN website about you know, it's all fifty states. It's 1948 01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,320 Speaker 1: kind of a map of you know, which ones are close, 1949 01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:33,080 Speaker 1: which ones have stuff on the books or imminent to 1950 01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:38,200 Speaker 1: getting sports betting bills passed. So it's it's I think 1951 01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:42,479 Speaker 1: it's one of the most intriguing topics away from football, 1952 01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:46,599 Speaker 1: outside of football we have, and even even more so 1953 01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:49,160 Speaker 1: than some of the rule changes we're looking at. It's 1954 01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:51,360 Speaker 1: gonna change things, that's for sure. I don't know how much. 1955 01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to wait and see how much it 1956 01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:55,639 Speaker 1: changes back, but moren a moment, One Bills Live from 1957 01:33:55,640 --> 01:34:07,519 Speaker 1: One Builds Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio.

Sixty two 1975 01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,920 Speaker 1: percent of you say Harrison Phillips third round draft pick. 1976 01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:02,920 Speaker 1: Seventy percent I say Wyatt Teller, seventy percent say wide 1977 01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:05,880 Speaker 1: receiver Austin Prole, four percent of somebody else in mind, 1978 01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:08,200 Speaker 1: give us a call eight oh three h five fifty 1979 01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:11,559 Speaker 1: two three one eight eight eight five fifty two five 1980 01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:14,120 Speaker 1: fifty if you'd like to discuss Jim from Lakeview on 1981 01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:16,120 Speaker 1: the line to discuss Hello, Jim, go ahead, you're on 1982 01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:20,679 Speaker 1: the air, Yeah for me. In order for the Bills 1983 01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:24,120 Speaker 1: to really maintain the saint success, they really need to 1984 01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 1: prevent an offense, and specifically, and I don't care who 1985 01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:31,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback is its offensive philosophy. I saw an interesting 1986 01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:35,080 Speaker 1: thing on a website analytics. They compared the top five 1987 01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:37,599 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL that threw the ball the most 1988 01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:40,840 Speaker 1: highest percentage of passes on first sound compared to the 1989 01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:43,639 Speaker 1: bottom five, and of course, no surprise, the Bills run 1990 01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,880 Speaker 1: the bottom five. No other surprise was that the team 1991 01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:49,679 Speaker 1: that had the highest percentage of throwing on first sound 1992 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:53,519 Speaker 1: had tremendous success or the bottom five. Even when they 1993 01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:56,479 Speaker 1: had teams that had moderate success, like the Bills, their 1994 01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:59,800 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator got fired or their head coach got fired 1995 01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:02,320 Speaker 1: or both. Jim, let me ask you, are you saying 1996 01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:06,960 Speaker 1: that throwing the ball equals success in the NFL? What 1997 01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:09,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying is as simple as that, throwing the ball 1998 01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,160 Speaker 1: on first sound and you're using the pass to set 1999 01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:14,599 Speaker 1: up the runs rather than using the run to set 2000 01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:19,360 Speaker 1: up the pass is the key to offensive success. And 2001 01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:21,160 Speaker 1: I wish I don't think it's that simple. And I 2002 01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:24,439 Speaker 1: think in the Bill's case, they were dealing with the 2003 01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,240 Speaker 1: hand they were dealt, which was a quarterback who was 2004 01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:29,360 Speaker 1: not that good at it, who was late with throws, 2005 01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:32,240 Speaker 1: who was inaccurate at times. And I think they tried 2006 01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:33,760 Speaker 1: the best they could and know by the way one 2007 01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:35,920 Speaker 1: nine games or made the playoffs, Steve, is it is 2008 01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:39,719 Speaker 1: it that simple? Let me give you an example, okay, 2009 01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:42,519 Speaker 1: of a team two years ago. It was very much 2010 01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:45,720 Speaker 1: like the Bills. They had a defensive coach, they had 2011 01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:49,839 Speaker 1: a run first mentality, They just drafted their franchise quarterback, 2012 01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:52,240 Speaker 1: they had a stud running back, and they had a 2013 01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:55,280 Speaker 1: great defense. That team was the Rams. Okay, the Rams 2014 01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:59,080 Speaker 1: that year were horrible. They won five games. Their number 2015 01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:02,719 Speaker 1: one quarterbacks, Goff, was a disaster, and even their running 2016 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,439 Speaker 1: back Gurley, had a terrible season. Then they bring in 2017 01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 1: a new coach and new philosophy. This guy I understood 2018 01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 1: two things. If every rule change in the last decade 2019 01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:15,639 Speaker 1: has been done to favor the pass game, you can't 2020 01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:18,679 Speaker 1: have the run game setting up the pass game. So 2021 01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:22,160 Speaker 1: it's no surprise that after his season of using the 2022 01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:26,400 Speaker 1: philosophy of pass to set up the runs, Jerald Goff 2023 01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:31,479 Speaker 1: becomes goes from disaster to budding superstar. Currently has his 2024 01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,439 Speaker 1: best season ever. The team wins twelve games. And you 2025 01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:36,360 Speaker 1: know what, John, You know, as a team that had 2026 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:39,640 Speaker 1: the highest percentage of throws on first down, that was 2027 01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:42,080 Speaker 1: the Rams. And when they went into that season, they 2028 01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:45,080 Speaker 1: didn't have a star quarterback. Nobody thought Golf was even 2029 01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:47,839 Speaker 1: better than Tyrod Taylor at the beginning of twenty seventeen, 2030 01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:51,160 Speaker 1: So Golf didn't play the entire rookie year. But that aside, 2031 01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:54,080 Speaker 1: I want to hear what Steve says about Jim's contention 2032 01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:56,280 Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing with you, but I don't think it's 2033 01:37:56,280 --> 01:37:59,479 Speaker 1: as simple. And I think basically, you do what you 2034 01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:01,760 Speaker 1: can do. You do what you're good at in the 2035 01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,439 Speaker 1: Bills case last year, and it could be different this year. 2036 01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:06,639 Speaker 1: It should be different this year, and they should throw 2037 01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:08,519 Speaker 1: it more, but you do what you're good at, and 2038 01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:10,920 Speaker 1: going into last year they were good at running the football. Yeah, 2039 01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills went into this last season 2040 01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:16,840 Speaker 1: with a philosophy of running every first down or never 2041 01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:20,320 Speaker 1: throwing on first down. I think they were backed into 2042 01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:26,120 Speaker 1: that corner by the limitations of their players and limitations 2043 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:28,120 Speaker 1: of the well. I don't think it was a philosophical 2044 01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:30,479 Speaker 1: decision not to throw it on first down. I think 2045 01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:35,240 Speaker 1: it was a course of action dictated by their limitations. 2046 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:38,240 Speaker 1: And I don't And there's no doubt Jim is right 2047 01:38:38,280 --> 01:38:41,840 Speaker 1: in one respect. And you heard it from the Philadelphia 2048 01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:43,840 Speaker 1: Eagles who won the World championship. And you can say 2049 01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:45,200 Speaker 1: what you want about the Rams, A lot of it 2050 01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:48,760 Speaker 1: had to do with that as well. Sean McVay, Doug Peterson, 2051 01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:53,200 Speaker 1: you get a Kyle Shanahan, these kind of guys who 2052 01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:55,600 Speaker 1: come into the league and who make a difference like 2053 01:38:55,640 --> 01:39:00,680 Speaker 1: that are coordinators that are gifted at play called. They 2054 01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:02,800 Speaker 1: know how to call plays, they know how to get 2055 01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:05,400 Speaker 1: the most out of their players. Now they have players 2056 01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,840 Speaker 1: that can do some things that some of the other 2057 01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:11,679 Speaker 1: players on other teams cannot do. And they probably got 2058 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:14,600 Speaker 1: players on their teams that are limited in ways that 2059 01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:16,760 Speaker 1: other teams and other players and other teams are not 2060 01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:20,440 Speaker 1: limited as well, but they maximize those limitations and maximize 2061 01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:23,639 Speaker 1: those strengths. So I think it rather than it's being 2062 01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,880 Speaker 1: a philosophical decision to run the ball on first down 2063 01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:29,080 Speaker 1: and their four year in the bottom five of the 2064 01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:32,559 Speaker 1: league in certain statistics, I think it comes down to 2065 01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:35,920 Speaker 1: play calling and being backed into a corners to the 2066 01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:38,600 Speaker 1: type of plays you're allowed to call. I wish they had. 2067 01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:40,360 Speaker 1: I wish they had the talent of a year ago 2068 01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:42,680 Speaker 1: to throw it more. I don't think they did. I 2069 01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:44,160 Speaker 1: do think they're going to try to throw it more 2070 01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:46,599 Speaker 1: this year. I would say had more receiving talent this 2071 01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:49,400 Speaker 1: year to make that effective. We'll see how where he goes. 2072 01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:51,639 Speaker 1: I agree a breakcare, We're back with more. One Bill 2073 01:39:51,680 --> 01:40:01,200 Speaker 1: slide from one Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio Boils 2074 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:06,439 Speaker 1: Radio Networks Stories Update from one Bills Drive. The Buffalo 2075 01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:09,880 Speaker 1: Bills finished up another of their Organized Team Activity practices today. 2076 01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:13,240 Speaker 1: They've got tomorrow off, two more OTAs this week, and 2077 01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:16,320 Speaker 1: then the three day mandatory mini camp starts next Tuesday. 2078 01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:21,040 Speaker 1: Four teams had mandatory practices today, including the New England Patriots, 2079 01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:24,280 Speaker 1: who had Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski both on the field. 2080 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:27,320 Speaker 1: The long national nightmare is over in New England. They 2081 01:40:27,400 --> 01:40:30,760 Speaker 1: both returned to the mandatory sessions after all kinds of 2082 01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:34,439 Speaker 1: speculation about what their problems were. Head coach Bill Battle 2083 01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:36,719 Speaker 1: chick into Kenny that he's got no problem with Tom Brady. 2084 01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:39,600 Speaker 1: We'll talk with Albert Brier of MMQB about this in 2085 01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,120 Speaker 1: a moment. Philadelphia Eagles are not going to attend the 2086 01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:44,400 Speaker 1: ceremony at the White House that was scheduled for tonight 2087 01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,240 Speaker 1: to honor their Super Bowl win, according to a statement 2088 01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:50,320 Speaker 1: by President Donald Trump. The statement said the defending Super 2089 01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:53,160 Speaker 1: Bowl champs disagree with the President and so they were 2090 01:40:53,320 --> 01:40:56,760 Speaker 1: disinvited by the President. The White House instead will host 2091 01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:59,760 Speaker 1: a celebration of America the A large group of Eagles 2092 01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:03,360 Speaker 1: play had decided not to attend, including most, if not all, 2093 01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:08,040 Speaker 1: of the African American players that According to ESPM, Dwight Clark, 2094 01:41:08,080 --> 01:41:10,479 Speaker 1: the receiver who made one of the most memorable catches 2095 01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:13,879 Speaker 1: in NFL history, died last night at his home in Montana. 2096 01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:16,200 Speaker 1: He was sixty one years old. He had been battling 2097 01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,280 Speaker 1: als since he first began fielding weakness in his left hand. 2098 01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:22,200 Speaker 1: In September of twenty fifteen. Dwight Clark was sixty one 2099 01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:24,840 Speaker 1: years old. He made the catch the big catch from 2100 01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:29,280 Speaker 1: Joe Montana in a NFC playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys, 2101 01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:32,320 Speaker 1: set the Philadelphia or set the San Francisco forty nine 2102 01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:35,160 Speaker 1: ers on their way to Super Bowl domination.

Um, we've got a h. We've 2116 01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:17,040 Speaker 1: got a h. What are we calling it? A refurbishing 2117 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:19,200 Speaker 1: of our television studio. We're not going to see anything 2118 01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:21,840 Speaker 1: on the air about it. They're redoing the TV studio 2119 01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:26,240 Speaker 1: a little bit technically speaking. Yeah, on the technical side exactly. 2120 01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:30,280 Speaker 1: They just kicked us out and yeah, same uncomfortable chair. No, 2121 01:42:30,439 --> 01:42:32,640 Speaker 1: it's great again. I like it in here though, I 2122 01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:35,040 Speaker 1: mean it feels low key in here, right, Yeah, except 2123 01:42:35,320 --> 01:42:38,479 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna have Wyatt Teller on. He totally 2124 01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:43,640 Speaker 1: totally lost a white teller. I wonder if we'd have 2125 01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:44,920 Speaker 1: been a studio, if he'd have showed up. Do you 2126 01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:49,000 Speaker 1: think that, well, the studio looks bad. Imagine not on 2127 01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:51,040 Speaker 1: the line with us right now. Our next guest on 2128 01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:53,920 Speaker 1: the show. He is the senior NFL reporter for MMQB 2129 01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,639 Speaker 1: and Sports Illustrated dot Com. Happy to have our buddy 2130 01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:59,320 Speaker 1: Albert Breer on the line with us from New England. 2131 01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:01,880 Speaker 1: From Foxboro, Albert, It's John Murphy and team Tasker here 2132 01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:03,720 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Thank you very much for taking a few 2133 01:43:03,720 --> 01:43:07,720 Speaker 1: minutes to be with us here today. We appreciate it. Uh. 2134 01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:10,679 Speaker 1: Did they raise flags and blow trumpets when Brady stepped 2135 01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:14,200 Speaker 1: on the field today? Yeah? I think it was pretty 2136 01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:17,200 Speaker 1: much the opposite of that. You know. I think that 2137 01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:19,360 Speaker 1: there was a soldier or a few silver struts from 2138 01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:23,200 Speaker 1: Bill and um acting as if nothing happened. Did really? 2139 01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:26,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I think a piece of this is, you know, 2140 01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:29,200 Speaker 1: for them, is trying to get the most out of 2141 01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:33,240 Speaker 1: the three days as they possibly can, and um, you know, celebrating, 2142 01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, some sort of you know, grand return wasn't 2143 01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:38,680 Speaker 1: going to play into that. Um. That doesn't mean it's 2144 01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:40,599 Speaker 1: not gonna have an effect on them. That doesn't mean 2145 01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:43,800 Speaker 1: it hasn't been an awkward six or seven months in Foxville, 2146 01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:47,160 Speaker 1: because it has, um, you know, But I think clearly 2147 01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:50,720 Speaker 1: they're they're feels like there's a feeling now that that 2148 01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:53,160 Speaker 1: they can turn on the page and kind of, you know, 2149 01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:57,280 Speaker 1: get themselves locked in on twenty eighteen. Yeah, how much Albert, 2150 01:43:58,080 --> 01:43:59,880 Speaker 1: how much of a hangover do you think there will be? 2151 01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:03,000 Speaker 1: You think they'll be long term effects? Or if there 2152 01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:06,639 Speaker 1: and if there are what you know, how how massive 2153 01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:08,559 Speaker 1: are they they're gonna be? Is it gonna be something 2154 01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:12,280 Speaker 1: that's gonna affect this team's ability to win and lose games? Yeah? 2155 01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:14,680 Speaker 1: You know what's interesting about Steve is it. Um it 2156 01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:19,160 Speaker 1: really feels the magnitude of losing that game. Um, it's 2157 01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:22,160 Speaker 1: almost been rap ramped up the last few years. Uh, 2158 01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:25,479 Speaker 1: you know, and I think after Seattle loss, you know, 2159 01:44:25,560 --> 01:44:29,960 Speaker 1: the whole thing was uh, you know, with Keith Carroll 2160 01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,360 Speaker 1: and Darryl Bevil about you know, not giving the Baltimore 2161 01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:34,880 Speaker 1: Shawn lynchdown on the goal line. It wasn't mean for 2162 01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:38,760 Speaker 1: those guys, for Russell Wilson throwing the pick. And next 2163 01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:41,040 Speaker 1: year it was Cam Newton not diving on the fumble 2164 01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:43,200 Speaker 1: in Super Bowl fifty. The year after that, it was 2165 01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:46,680 Speaker 1: the clock management by Dan Quinn and Kyle Shanahan and 2166 01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:50,639 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan at the end of that game. And next year, Um, 2167 01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:53,400 Speaker 1: the same way those things follow those teams around, you know, 2168 01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:57,080 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler, the Patriots around that has you know, the 2169 01:44:57,120 --> 01:45:01,320 Speaker 1: aclimony between Brady and Bellots, Gronck and belts Check and 2170 01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:05,479 Speaker 1: so I don't know there's any telling how it affect them. Um, 2171 01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:09,120 Speaker 1: they've dealt with some pretty major major things in the 2172 01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:12,679 Speaker 1: past to play gate obviously in Hernandez situation a few 2173 01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:17,400 Speaker 1: years back, and as they've gone through those would one 2174 01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:21,320 Speaker 1: of those situations obviously very very serious. The other one, um, 2175 01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:24,080 Speaker 1: you know more I guess serious from a football standpoint 2176 01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:27,599 Speaker 1: of the category. Um, They've kept winning, they've kept getting 2177 01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:31,080 Speaker 1: going deep into the playoffs, and so I think give 2178 01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:33,920 Speaker 1: them the benefit of doubt. It's just this is a 2179 01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:36,439 Speaker 1: team that's always thrived on the details and thrived on 2180 01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:40,360 Speaker 1: you know, work and extra hours and all that different stuff, 2181 01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:43,360 Speaker 1: and so you know, I don't think we can celebrate 2182 01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:45,759 Speaker 1: all that and then act like it's irrelevant. The cronk 2183 01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:49,880 Speaker 1: of Brady weren't there for the last seven weeks. Albert, 2184 01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:52,120 Speaker 1: do you think that it focuses I think do you 2185 01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:56,360 Speaker 1: think both of these guys are I know the word 2186 01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:59,559 Speaker 1: is that it's about money with Gronkowski. Is that part 2187 01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:02,880 Speaker 1: of what Brady's deal is? Or is his mostly about 2188 01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:05,880 Speaker 1: maybe his personal trainer or just being a few years 2189 01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:08,479 Speaker 1: old and not need to be there. I mean, I'm 2190 01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:10,320 Speaker 1: sure he wouldn't mind a new contract, but I don't 2191 01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:11,880 Speaker 1: think it has much to do with this at all 2192 01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:14,720 Speaker 1: oh with Brady. I think it's Um, I think it's 2193 01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:16,880 Speaker 1: a number of different things. You know. I think it's 2194 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:18,559 Speaker 1: you know, how hard to last a couple of years 2195 01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:21,880 Speaker 1: were on him, and how being that program made it 2196 01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:24,880 Speaker 1: even harder. Um, it's a tough place to play, you know. 2197 01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:26,920 Speaker 1: And uh, I think that was part of it. I 2198 01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:30,240 Speaker 1: think the handling the of his trainer, Alice Corner, I 2199 01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:32,280 Speaker 1: think that was part of it, um, you know. And 2200 01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:34,280 Speaker 1: then I think there's a part of it genuinely where 2201 01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:38,120 Speaker 1: from sworn out by all of this and wanted to 2202 01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:39,920 Speaker 1: kind of live like a normal human being for a 2203 01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:43,800 Speaker 1: few months, and so you know, I think all that's 2204 01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:46,240 Speaker 1: sort of part of it. You know. The one thing 2205 01:46:46,240 --> 01:46:49,120 Speaker 1: that I think would concern me if I was a 2206 01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:52,320 Speaker 1: Patriots fan right now, is you know, the idea of 2207 01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:56,200 Speaker 1: Brady's separating from the game in any way. Um. You know, 2208 01:46:56,320 --> 01:46:58,519 Speaker 1: to me, I think that that's you know, there's at 2209 01:46:58,560 --> 01:47:01,680 Speaker 1: least a red flag there because is I think one 2210 01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:04,000 Speaker 1: thing that that that that's kind of kept Brady grown 2211 01:47:04,200 --> 01:47:08,439 Speaker 1: going this. I don't think players retired because they get 2212 01:47:08,479 --> 01:47:11,040 Speaker 1: sick of suns. I think players are hiring because they 2213 01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:14,320 Speaker 1: Saturday and all the off season over and they don't 2214 01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:16,280 Speaker 1: want to do everything that they can't they they need 2215 01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:18,920 Speaker 1: to do to get them puff ready to play anymore. Um, 2216 01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:21,240 Speaker 1: that part of it Brady always loved and I didn't 2217 01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:24,160 Speaker 1: if it's driving force behind his ability to play into 2218 01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:27,400 Speaker 1: his late thirties and then into his forties. Um, if 2219 01:47:27,400 --> 01:47:29,559 Speaker 1: he's starting to lose that, then that's not great news 2220 01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:31,439 Speaker 1: for New England. But I do think it was a 2221 01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:33,320 Speaker 1: number of different things that played into this, and then 2222 01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,400 Speaker 1: with Gronkowski. Yeah, I think the Guerrero thing was kind 2223 01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:38,720 Speaker 1: of a little bit of a partner le Gronkowski too. 2224 01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:41,639 Speaker 1: But when Keim was supposed to the contract with Albert Breer, 2225 01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:46,519 Speaker 1: senior NFL reporter for MMQB, in your MMQB column, The 2226 01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:49,160 Speaker 1: Sweet Albert, you wrote about something I think is interesting 2227 01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:52,360 Speaker 1: about It's almost like a chink in the Patriots mystique, 2228 01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:55,080 Speaker 1: isn't it. And you're right if Brady's not on board 2229 01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:57,240 Speaker 1: to the same level, would that have an effect. I'm 2230 01:47:57,240 --> 01:47:59,760 Speaker 1: a younger player who might have something else at his 2231 01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:02,000 Speaker 1: with the Patriots that could be we won't know for 2232 01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:05,840 Speaker 1: sure what that could happen. Right, Yeah, you know here's 2233 01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:08,599 Speaker 1: the thing. Um, you know, I I think so much 2234 01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:11,400 Speaker 1: of Bill's program has been enabled by his ability to 2235 01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:16,400 Speaker 1: coach Brady hard. And you know, I think that in 2236 01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:19,840 Speaker 1: a lot of ways, bill un programs outdated. I think 2237 01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:21,719 Speaker 1: it'd be hard for a new coach and going somewhere 2238 01:48:21,720 --> 01:48:24,400 Speaker 1: else and run the program the way Bill does, because 2239 01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:26,639 Speaker 1: it's demanding. You're not getting many paths in the back, 2240 01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:28,760 Speaker 1: You're not getting a whole lot of reassurance. It's just 2241 01:48:29,320 --> 01:48:31,679 Speaker 1: like I said, it's a tough place to play. Yeah, 2242 01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:34,519 Speaker 1: but if you can treat the best player in the 2243 01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:36,920 Speaker 1: history of the sport. I think he's the thirtiest player 2244 01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:39,759 Speaker 1: in the roster, well, then everybody has to fall in lost. 2245 01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:42,439 Speaker 1: And so you know, they've always been able to do that. 2246 01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:45,880 Speaker 1: They've always coached Brady hard. They've always treated like he's 2247 01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:49,519 Speaker 1: anyone else in the roster. And you know, if you 2248 01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,120 Speaker 1: can't do that anymore, then you know what happens when 2249 01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:53,880 Speaker 1: a young player is having a tough week or a 2250 01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,439 Speaker 1: tough month, or is coming off of a tough game. 2251 01:48:57,040 --> 01:48:58,759 Speaker 1: Is he going to be engaged to the same level. 2252 01:48:58,800 --> 01:49:01,840 Speaker 1: I just I think so much of this, so much 2253 01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:04,160 Speaker 1: of the way teams work in the NFL now or 2254 01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:07,599 Speaker 1: how your your your best players work and how engaged 2255 01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:09,400 Speaker 1: they are to what you're doing and all of that. 2256 01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:13,120 Speaker 1: And Brady's always been such a model of of what 2257 01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:15,920 Speaker 1: you want as far as that goes. Um with the 2258 01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,960 Speaker 1: way Bill runs this, he's not engaged at the same level. 2259 01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:20,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how it's going to affect 2260 01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:24,280 Speaker 1: them in twenty and eighteen, but I know what a 2261 01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:26,680 Speaker 1: great benefit it's been to them over the course of 2262 01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:30,040 Speaker 1: the last eighteen years. And so if that's something you'd 2263 01:49:30,040 --> 01:49:31,840 Speaker 1: have to think that there's going to be fallout somewhere. 2264 01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:34,720 Speaker 1: How much of a benefit of the Patriots gotten from 2265 01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:37,439 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's cap number. I mean, this is a guy 2266 01:49:37,479 --> 01:49:40,960 Speaker 1: who's not he's been played in the eighteenth start, highest 2267 01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:45,400 Speaker 1: paid quarterback in the league. Uh, he's notoriously been underpaid 2268 01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:48,360 Speaker 1: for as many MVPs and Super Bowls he's helped them 2269 01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:51,560 Speaker 1: get to I mean, and they, more than any of 2270 01:49:51,600 --> 01:49:53,920 Speaker 1: the team maximize their salary cap. So that's got to 2271 01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:56,920 Speaker 1: be an issue as well going forward. Yeah, I think 2272 01:49:57,040 --> 01:49:58,960 Speaker 1: I think a big piece of it is just, you know, 2273 01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:02,160 Speaker 1: like your ability to negotiate with other players. Again, at 2274 01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:04,479 Speaker 1: the point of radius thing, you couldn't last. So I 2275 01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:06,639 Speaker 1: think that that helps um, and that you know, you've 2276 01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:08,800 Speaker 1: got a player who has been at the top of 2277 01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:10,680 Speaker 1: the sport for a long time, this one to take 2278 01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:14,200 Speaker 1: a little less that into playing. Um there, you know 2279 01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:17,160 Speaker 1: that that that helps. And then I mean just you 2280 01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:19,799 Speaker 1: know the rock numbers, I mean he's making thirty million 2281 01:50:19,880 --> 01:50:25,080 Speaker 1: and um, you know, then that's probably like three pretty 2282 01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:28,120 Speaker 1: good players that aren't on your roster anymore, you know, 2283 01:50:28,240 --> 01:50:30,599 Speaker 1: And so you guys can pull up a cap sheet 2284 01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:33,280 Speaker 1: to see who it is. But you know, I thought 2285 01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:36,200 Speaker 1: players coming in and say, it's not going to eliminate 2286 01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:38,800 Speaker 1: one of your core players, right, like, like those guys 2287 01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:40,639 Speaker 1: are gonna make what they're gonna make, but your second 2288 01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:43,280 Speaker 1: tier players, like where some of the strength of Patriots 2289 01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:46,439 Speaker 1: roster has been historically in the middle of the roster. Um, 2290 01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:49,599 Speaker 1: you know, if you're adding two or three good second 2291 01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:52,000 Speaker 1: tier players, and yeah, that could absolutely make a difference. 2292 01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:54,439 Speaker 1: I think it having made a difference for them. Was 2293 01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:57,559 Speaker 1: Albert Brier seating, your NFL reporter from MMQB. I want 2294 01:50:57,600 --> 01:50:59,719 Speaker 1: to switch your attention and ask a couple of questions 2295 01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:01,840 Speaker 1: about the Dolphins out But you spent some time with 2296 01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:06,679 Speaker 1: them recently at their OTAs um it seems like Adam 2297 01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:10,639 Speaker 1: Gases has tried desperately this offseason to affect a major 2298 01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:14,360 Speaker 1: culture change down there, letting some high, highly paid players go. 2299 01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:17,160 Speaker 1: Can that work for a coach? It was not a 2300 01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:19,800 Speaker 1: new coach, not attempting to set up a brand, you know, 2301 01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:21,720 Speaker 1: trying to set up a brand new culture, even though 2302 01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:23,960 Speaker 1: he's been there under the previous culture for a couple 2303 01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:28,040 Speaker 1: of years. Yeah, you know, I definitely think that that 2304 01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,360 Speaker 1: Adams trying to reset things to some degree. And the 2305 01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:34,000 Speaker 1: biggest problem they had was, uh, you know, last year 2306 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:37,240 Speaker 1: they went through a lot the Chris Forrester saying, hum, 2307 01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:41,840 Speaker 1: the hurricane, injury to Tannehill, and you know when things 2308 01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:44,200 Speaker 1: went the wrong way last year, they really have guys 2309 01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:49,520 Speaker 1: in that locker room who could serious hip and and 2310 01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:52,320 Speaker 1: and put their foot down and make sure things don't 2311 01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:55,879 Speaker 1: go the wrong way. And as a result, the wheels 2312 01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:58,080 Speaker 1: came off at the end of the year. And so, 2313 01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:00,439 Speaker 1: you know, I think part of it was I'm gonna 2314 01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:05,040 Speaker 1: prioritize culture over talent here a little bit, and we're 2315 01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna be willing to let a Jarvis plant here and 2316 01:52:07,080 --> 01:52:09,840 Speaker 1: the dominance of go because we wanted to top our 2317 01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:12,160 Speaker 1: roster to be guys that reflect what we do. And 2318 01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:15,160 Speaker 1: so it's an interesting experiment. We've seen a succeed before, 2319 01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:17,559 Speaker 1: We've seen a sale before. I mean it wound up 2320 01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:20,760 Speaker 1: getting Chip Kelly fired doing things that way in Philadelphia. 2321 01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:23,679 Speaker 1: So it's not like this is a perfect plan, um. 2322 01:52:23,800 --> 01:52:26,040 Speaker 1: But you know, I think that they do feel like 2323 01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:29,400 Speaker 1: they've they've struck a balance there of of having good 2324 01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:32,840 Speaker 1: enough players and you know, making sure that you've got 2325 01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:35,000 Speaker 1: the right kind of players. Again, that's always a balance. 2326 01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:37,200 Speaker 1: I think you guys saw that Buffalo last year, right, 2327 01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:39,920 Speaker 1: like when when when Sean and brand to make the 2328 01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:43,400 Speaker 1: decision to get rid of guys like Marcel Darius Um, 2329 01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:46,200 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and Ronald Darby. Part of that was culture 2330 01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:50,240 Speaker 1: and they made the decision like we can we can 2331 01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:53,920 Speaker 1: let some talent walk out the door, um, to try 2332 01:52:53,920 --> 01:52:56,640 Speaker 1: and strike the right balance. I think both teams are 2333 01:52:56,680 --> 01:52:59,280 Speaker 1: dealing with that. And you know, some teams like the Rams, 2334 01:52:59,400 --> 01:53:02,280 Speaker 1: right Baltia, we've got the right coach, we can handle 2335 01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:05,280 Speaker 1: some big personality, and then you see other teams going 2336 01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,000 Speaker 1: in the other direction. I think that sort of thing 2337 01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:10,320 Speaker 1: happens in every end up every NFL team, and you 2338 01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:12,559 Speaker 1: certainly see the Dolphins now feeling the affection what they 2339 01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:15,080 Speaker 1: went through last year. Albert One more question, if I may, 2340 01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:18,120 Speaker 1: And that's the that's the today's story, the White House 2341 01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:20,280 Speaker 1: cancelation of the Eagles visit. Steve and I were talking 2342 01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:22,760 Speaker 1: about it an hour two on the show. How what 2343 01:53:22,880 --> 01:53:25,280 Speaker 1: bothers me? About this incident? This seems to me like 2344 01:53:25,320 --> 01:53:28,639 Speaker 1: a typical slow newsday, offseason thing. I mean, really, who 2345 01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:31,479 Speaker 1: cares who visits the White House? But to me, what bothers? 2346 01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:33,400 Speaker 1: Steve and I don't want I will speak for Steve 2347 01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:36,639 Speaker 1: here is it seems like a prelude for bigger problems 2348 01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:39,599 Speaker 1: ahead down the stretch as the midterm elections approach. Would 2349 01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:42,400 Speaker 1: you agree? What do you think? No? I agree with you? 2350 01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think. I mean, look, we've seen 2351 01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:48,640 Speaker 1: this happen before, right, I mean, we've seen teams in 2352 01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:53,040 Speaker 1: every sport have players missed the White House visit for 2353 01:53:53,160 --> 01:53:56,080 Speaker 1: various reasons, and a lot of them political. We've seen 2354 01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:59,440 Speaker 1: it happen to Republican presidents. We've seen it happen to Democrats. 2355 01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:03,200 Speaker 1: Democrats presidents, right like, we've seen that, and we've seen 2356 01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:06,760 Speaker 1: at times and in twenty and thirty guys missing right, 2357 01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:10,880 Speaker 1: the difference is kind of the reaction from Washington, and so, 2358 01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, I certainly think, you know, the way I 2359 01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:16,120 Speaker 1: look at it, this is sort of the longest reelection 2360 01:54:16,200 --> 01:54:18,760 Speaker 1: campaign in US history, right Like, we're in the middle 2361 01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:21,360 Speaker 1: of the longest reelection campaign in US history. He's literally 2362 01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:24,519 Speaker 1: running his campaign now, and clearly I think he's found 2363 01:54:24,560 --> 01:54:28,240 Speaker 1: something in the NFL that the touchdowne for his base. 2364 01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:31,680 Speaker 1: And I think what the NFL owners are fearful of 2365 01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:34,280 Speaker 1: and where they feel like their bottom line could be affected, 2366 01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:37,040 Speaker 1: is you know that that this is going to be constant, 2367 01:54:37,040 --> 01:54:40,400 Speaker 1: that he's going to constantly needle them and use them 2368 01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:43,520 Speaker 1: to to try and fire up his days, you know, 2369 01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:46,160 Speaker 1: And that's why they tried to middle the decision last 2370 01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of weeks ago in Atlanta. I 2371 01:54:48,040 --> 01:54:51,520 Speaker 1: think they made mistake. I understand they wanted into forcible policy, 2372 01:54:52,160 --> 01:54:54,440 Speaker 1: but you know, ultimately what they wound up doing was 2373 01:54:54,440 --> 01:54:56,560 Speaker 1: they tried to make everybody happy, and you know, in 2374 01:54:56,600 --> 01:54:59,839 Speaker 1: the end, they made no one happyest seems like Alberta, 2375 01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:02,000 Speaker 1: you're the guy for Monday morning quarterback? Now will that 2376 01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:04,880 Speaker 1: continue on the on the website. I'm gonna give you, 2377 01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:07,480 Speaker 1: guys a no comment on that one because it was 2378 01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:10,320 Speaker 1: great this week. But I say it, but I for 2379 01:55:10,480 --> 01:55:13,800 Speaker 1: you guys convinced. I think I'm excited about the future. 2380 01:55:14,200 --> 01:55:15,720 Speaker 1: It was great this week.

All right, thanks guys, appreciate it. Albert Breer, 2383 01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:24,240 Speaker 1: senior NFL reporter for MMQB. Of course, we had Peter 2384 01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:25,680 Speaker 1: King on the show a couple of weeks ago. He 2385 01:55:25,720 --> 01:55:28,800 Speaker 1: has stepped away from SI dot com and MMQB, and 2386 01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:32,760 Speaker 1: this week it was Albert Breer, their senior NFL reporter 2387 01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:36,560 Speaker 1: who wrote the long Monday Morning Quarterback column, which I 2388 01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:38,760 Speaker 1: didn't you know what, honestly see if I didn't realize 2389 01:55:38,760 --> 01:55:41,440 Speaker 1: how much I had leaned on that column until Peter 2390 01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:43,320 Speaker 1: King left. I was like, well, I do read that 2391 01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:46,680 Speaker 1: every week. Sometimes it's Tuesday morning, sometimes it's Monday morning, 2392 01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:49,240 Speaker 1: but I do follow it, just looking for ideas, looking 2393 01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:51,880 Speaker 1: for you know, takes, And Albert can handle that if 2394 01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:53,680 Speaker 1: he wants it. It sounds like he kind of wants it. Yeah, 2395 01:55:53,680 --> 01:55:56,200 Speaker 1: And it's also information too, and because it because it 2396 01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:59,000 Speaker 1: covers such a wide range of topics and it touches 2397 01:55:59,040 --> 01:56:01,000 Speaker 1: on so many high point of what's going on around 2398 01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:03,640 Speaker 1: the league, plus seeing things that are off our radar 2399 01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:07,520 Speaker 1: here in Western New York that are interesting, Yeah, and 2400 01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:11,920 Speaker 1: could affect, you know, the game. So yeah, I'm with you. 2401 01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm glad it's not going to go away. And this 2402 01:56:13,720 --> 01:56:16,200 Speaker 1: week's edition of Money, Moon and Quarterback was very good. 2403 01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:18,680 Speaker 1: I enjoyed reading it. Much of what Albert wrote about 2404 01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:21,560 Speaker 1: in this week's edition was the Dolphins. This is before 2405 01:56:21,600 --> 01:56:25,920 Speaker 1: Brady and Gronkowski returned to the Patriots site. But look, 2406 01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:27,520 Speaker 1: I've told you this before. I'm not a fan of 2407 01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:30,000 Speaker 1: Adam Gase. I've never been a fan of the Dolphins, 2408 01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:34,320 Speaker 1: and I think there's something I don't know phony about 2409 01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:37,120 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do down there. You ship away talent, Yes, 2410 01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:39,120 Speaker 1: he's right, Albert's try. The Bills did it, shipping away 2411 01:56:39,360 --> 01:56:41,840 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and some of the others in an effort 2412 01:56:41,840 --> 01:56:44,760 Speaker 1: to get better, what character players in there, better culture 2413 01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:46,440 Speaker 1: in there. I just don't know if that's going to 2414 01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:49,360 Speaker 1: work for the Miami Dolphins. I feel like it's almost 2415 01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:52,040 Speaker 1: artificial culture building going on down there. Well you could 2416 01:56:52,080 --> 01:56:54,200 Speaker 1: say the same thing about Buffalo as well, but by 2417 01:56:54,200 --> 01:56:57,080 Speaker 1: the same token, it's a new coach can set the 2418 01:56:57,120 --> 01:56:58,880 Speaker 1: floor this is where we are. A guy who's been 2419 01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:01,040 Speaker 1: there for a couple of years is to change the culture. 2420 01:57:01,040 --> 01:57:03,160 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's the issue. It's like trying 2421 01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:04,560 Speaker 1: to you know. It's like when you come into a 2422 01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:06,600 Speaker 1: new place. It's like the substitute teacher. They come in, 2423 01:57:06,640 --> 01:57:08,720 Speaker 1: they're very strict first, and then they back off because 2424 01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:10,360 Speaker 1: you can't go the other direction, right, You can't all 2425 01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:11,880 Speaker 1: of a sudden say well, you know what, now we're 2426 01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:14,000 Speaker 1: not going to be able to do a B and 2427 01:57:14,080 --> 01:57:16,920 Speaker 1: C here. So a guy that's going into his third year, 2428 01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:19,760 Speaker 1: I think the players are gonna look at him sideways, 2429 01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:23,080 Speaker 1: are going, well, what's all this going on? What's all this? Who? Yeah, 2430 01:57:23,160 --> 01:57:26,000 Speaker 1: what have been doing? You know? And and the fact 2431 01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:27,680 Speaker 1: that they went to the playoffs the first year, you 2432 01:57:27,680 --> 01:57:29,680 Speaker 1: can say, well, it kind of gives them, you know, 2433 01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:32,280 Speaker 1: I get it gives them a little bit of leeway. 2434 01:57:32,360 --> 01:57:36,680 Speaker 1: But then you know, yeah, like what are we doing here? 2435 01:57:36,680 --> 01:57:38,880 Speaker 1: Where were you two years ago? And why why is 2436 01:57:38,920 --> 01:57:40,960 Speaker 1: this all of a sudden the new philosophy that might 2437 01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:44,400 Speaker 1: work for us that when it hasn't been and now 2438 01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:47,000 Speaker 1: we're going to do it with lesser players. So Um, 2439 01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:50,600 Speaker 1: you're right. I think that that is an issue. But 2440 01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:53,040 Speaker 1: I think that more than not the philosophy. I mean, 2441 01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:55,720 Speaker 1: we've seen that the success at other places, and including 2442 01:57:55,720 --> 01:57:58,240 Speaker 1: here in Buffalo last year, where the culture change is 2443 01:57:58,240 --> 01:58:01,480 Speaker 1: a good thing, and getting rid of play who don't 2444 01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:05,400 Speaker 1: fit that culture can be an improvement, even if they 2445 01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:07,920 Speaker 1: are very talented. And one more thing, back to the Patriots, 2446 01:58:07,960 --> 01:58:09,520 Speaker 1: and Albert brought it up and it was in his 2447 01:58:09,880 --> 01:58:12,920 Speaker 1: MMQB column today. He's onto something here when he talks 2448 01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:15,560 Speaker 1: about the Belichick and how things have changed in New 2449 01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:19,680 Speaker 1: England and the return of Brady and Gronkowski today as well, 2450 01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:21,600 Speaker 1: different than what they've been used to. But this is 2451 01:58:21,720 --> 01:58:24,480 Speaker 1: part I found very interesting, Albert Breer writes, and he 2452 01:58:24,520 --> 01:58:27,000 Speaker 1: said this, I do think anyone trying to set up 2453 01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:30,120 Speaker 1: a program from scratch the way Belichick has in today's 2454 01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:32,880 Speaker 1: NFL would have a really hard time. In fact, I'm 2455 01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:35,680 Speaker 1: not sure it work anymore. But thanks to his results, 2456 01:58:35,720 --> 01:58:39,160 Speaker 1: Belichick's methods are grandfathered into a different world. I think 2457 01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:41,800 Speaker 1: he's right. I don't think a new head coach in 2458 01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:44,240 Speaker 1: the NFL come in and be Bill Belichick have those 2459 01:58:44,280 --> 01:58:47,720 Speaker 1: kind of rules, those kind of standards, those kind of expectations, 2460 01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:50,560 Speaker 1: that kind of authority. And all you gotta do is 2461 01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:53,720 Speaker 1: look right outside our office here and watch the way 2462 01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:57,160 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott runs this team. He's not Belichick. Now. He's strict, 2463 01:58:57,360 --> 01:58:58,880 Speaker 1: he knows what he wants, he knows the type of 2464 01:58:58,920 --> 01:59:01,640 Speaker 1: players he wants. But I do think he listens to 2465 01:59:01,720 --> 01:59:04,480 Speaker 1: his players. He's got that you know, player advisory committee. 2466 01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:07,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that Belichick does. I think Sean understands. 2467 01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:10,160 Speaker 1: He couldn't get away. No one could get away with 2468 01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:12,200 Speaker 1: the type of things that Belichick has done in terms 2469 01:59:12,240 --> 01:59:14,560 Speaker 1: of the way he handles his players and what he 2470 01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:17,520 Speaker 1: does and to his players. Here's what here's what you 2471 01:59:17,560 --> 01:59:21,000 Speaker 1: gotta know. I mean, I think at some point, and 2472 01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't know whether this happened or whether I just 2473 01:59:23,520 --> 01:59:26,640 Speaker 1: perceived that it happened or whatever, certainly it could have 2474 01:59:26,640 --> 01:59:29,080 Speaker 1: happened because Tom Brady was a fifth round draft pick 2475 01:59:29,120 --> 01:59:31,240 Speaker 1: and he came in for Drew Bledsoe, who had two 2476 01:59:31,360 --> 01:59:33,160 Speaker 1: days before he got hurt, had signed one hundred and 2477 01:59:33,200 --> 01:59:35,840 Speaker 1: ten million dollar deal, so he could he feel like 2478 01:59:35,840 --> 01:59:38,160 Speaker 1: he could probably coach Tom Brady pretty hard. But at 2479 01:59:38,240 --> 01:59:42,760 Speaker 1: some point Brady had to understand why Belichick was coaching 2480 01:59:42,840 --> 01:59:45,360 Speaker 1: him hard and it wasn't about Tom. It was about 2481 01:59:45,400 --> 01:59:47,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the roster. So if you're gonna if 2482 01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:50,640 Speaker 1: I'm not so convinced you couldn't do it from scratch, 2483 01:59:50,720 --> 01:59:53,280 Speaker 1: because if you came in and you sat your quarterback 2484 01:59:53,320 --> 01:59:55,200 Speaker 1: down said listen, here's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna 2485 01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:57,360 Speaker 1: coach you hard, and I'm gonna coach you hard in 2486 01:59:57,400 --> 01:59:59,240 Speaker 1: front of the rest of the roster. Because if I'm 2487 01:59:59,240 --> 02:00:02,400 Speaker 1: coaching you hard and you're accepting it and you're okay 2488 02:00:02,440 --> 02:00:04,520 Speaker 1: with it, and you're not getting down, or you're not 2489 02:00:04,560 --> 02:00:06,560 Speaker 1: fighting back and you're not going off to the media 2490 02:00:06,680 --> 02:00:08,800 Speaker 1: or you're not pouting. If you're taking it like a 2491 02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:11,480 Speaker 1: man and trying to get better, the rest of the 2492 02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:14,560 Speaker 1: roster will too. That's how I want you to lead. 2493 02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:17,040 Speaker 1: You don't have to do all this other stuff. I 2494 02:00:17,120 --> 02:00:19,120 Speaker 1: want you to lead like that. And if the quarter 2495 02:00:19,160 --> 02:00:21,480 Speaker 1: if you can get a quarterback that will buy into 2496 02:00:21,520 --> 02:00:23,480 Speaker 1: it like that. Yeah, I think you could duplicate what 2497 02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:26,200 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is doing in New England. Those guys are 2498 02:00:26,200 --> 02:00:29,080 Speaker 1: hard to find, and it was a unique situation when 2499 02:00:29,120 --> 02:00:30,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady got to New England and it was I 2500 02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:34,400 Speaker 1: don't know that you could duplicate it like that, but 2501 02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:36,400 Speaker 1: I think you could get find it if you found 2502 02:00:36,440 --> 02:00:38,760 Speaker 1: the right guy who would come in and say, Okay, 2503 02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:41,160 Speaker 1: you can coach me like that. I'll listen. Maybe a 2504 02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:44,000 Speaker 1: kid like Josh Allen's like that, one of these young 2505 02:00:44,080 --> 02:00:47,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks we saw drafted. But you got to sit him 2506 02:00:47,040 --> 02:00:49,240 Speaker 1: down as a head coach and spell it out for him, 2507 02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:50,840 Speaker 1: just so you make sure that there's not You don't 2508 02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:53,480 Speaker 1: have to hope he does it. If he's a good 2509 02:00:53,560 --> 02:00:55,600 Speaker 1: quarterback and you're gonna coach him hard, you know that 2510 02:00:55,640 --> 02:00:58,200 Speaker 1: you're coaching is gonna get him better. You got to 2511 02:00:58,240 --> 02:01:00,000 Speaker 1: tell him that, and you gotta get him on board 2512 02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:02,400 Speaker 1: with it. And I don't think it's that outlandish to 2513 02:01:02,440 --> 02:01:06,480 Speaker 1: think it could happen. We'll find out. And Albert writes 2514 02:01:06,560 --> 02:01:08,960 Speaker 1: this too, and this is a great way to summarize it. 2515 02:01:09,080 --> 02:01:12,120 Speaker 1: Everything clearly has not been fine with the Patriots over 2516 02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:15,120 Speaker 1: the last year, nor has everything been fixed. One thinks 2517 02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:17,400 Speaker 1: for sure the next few months won't be boring to me. 2518 02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:20,960 Speaker 1: It's it's almost unfortunate the Bills don't play the Patriots 2519 02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:24,720 Speaker 1: until late October twenty nine, just because I do think 2520 02:01:24,760 --> 02:01:27,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna be, and they usually are. They're better in 2521 02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:29,000 Speaker 1: the end of the season than they are at the beginning. 2522 02:01:29,440 --> 02:01:31,000 Speaker 1: I just think the beginning of the season for the 2523 02:01:31,040 --> 02:01:34,200 Speaker 1: Patriots is going to be a little bit disconcerting for them. 2524 02:01:34,200 --> 02:01:35,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit different. You've got to 2525 02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:37,800 Speaker 1: know that the Patriots aren't don't even know who they're 2526 02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:39,360 Speaker 1: going to be for the first couple of weeks of 2527 02:01:39,400 --> 02:01:41,000 Speaker 1: the season. Look what happened to him last year at 2528 02:01:41,040 --> 02:01:43,360 Speaker 1: the opening game of the season. The Kansas City Chiefs 2529 02:01:43,480 --> 02:01:47,680 Speaker 1: humiliated them on Monday night football in Foxborough. That's all 2530 02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:52,200 Speaker 1: that's unheard of, and yet it happened, and it's They 2531 02:01:52,280 --> 02:01:55,120 Speaker 1: were an absolute shambles in Week one last week and 2532 02:01:55,120 --> 02:01:59,720 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs tore them up. That's an exaggeration 2533 02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:02,920 Speaker 1: of what we see from New England. They they take 2534 02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:05,320 Speaker 1: that they don't know who they are until they get 2535 02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:10,040 Speaker 1: into a real live game and find out who can 2536 02:02:10,080 --> 02:02:12,440 Speaker 1: play and who can do what. So I think that 2537 02:02:12,480 --> 02:02:15,320 Speaker 1: you're right. It's unfortunate for Buffalo that they get them 2538 02:02:15,320 --> 02:02:17,600 Speaker 1: that late in the season, because they've got an identity 2539 02:02:17,640 --> 02:02:19,640 Speaker 1: by then and they're they're up and running. But I 2540 02:02:19,640 --> 02:02:21,480 Speaker 1: think the first three or four weeks of the season. 2541 02:02:22,200 --> 02:02:24,440 Speaker 1: It's a learning process for that franchise, just like it 2542 02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:27,320 Speaker 1: is for everybody else. Thanks to Albert Breer for joining 2543 02:02:27,400 --> 02:02:31,200 Speaker 1: us on the Subway Fresh Take Hotline, Subway Eat Fresh, Hey, 2544 02:02:31,280 --> 02:02:33,960 Speaker 1: get involved.

He's 2564 02:03:42,840 --> 02:03:44,960 Speaker 1: a good reporter and he's a smart thinker, and he 2565 02:03:45,040 --> 02:03:46,400 Speaker 1: said a bunch of things that you and I were 2566 02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:49,800 Speaker 1: talking about, including his statement about Brady and how it's 2567 02:03:49,840 --> 02:03:52,200 Speaker 1: one thing to be, you know, tired as you as 2568 02:03:52,200 --> 02:03:54,960 Speaker 1: you work through your career of the NFL, but it's 2569 02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:57,280 Speaker 1: not the Sunday, it's the game day that you get tired. 2570 02:03:57,280 --> 02:03:58,880 Speaker 1: It's right, and that's that's the way it is from 2571 02:03:58,960 --> 02:04:02,600 Speaker 1: almost universally for players around the league when you get 2572 02:04:02,600 --> 02:04:04,040 Speaker 1: to a certain age. It was the same for me, 2573 02:04:04,080 --> 02:04:06,680 Speaker 1: and I know it was the same for my for 2574 02:04:06,800 --> 02:04:15,560 Speaker 1: my teammates. It is about Monday through Saturday. It's about May, June, July, 2575 02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:19,120 Speaker 1: about dredging up the emotion to get ready. Anybody can 2576 02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean, any anybody's sitting in the stands could come 2577 02:04:21,920 --> 02:04:24,240 Speaker 1: walk down the tunnel in front of seventy five thousand 2578 02:04:24,320 --> 02:04:27,960 Speaker 1: people and be stoked about playing, be totally energizing everything, 2579 02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:30,800 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean they're prepared to play. And that's 2580 02:04:31,160 --> 02:04:34,200 Speaker 1: where the motivation for being a pro pro athlete and 2581 02:04:34,200 --> 02:04:36,040 Speaker 1: a pro football player comes in. You've got to be 2582 02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:40,120 Speaker 1: motivated in March, April, May, June, July, August, and September, 2583 02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:45,920 Speaker 1: not just November, December, January, February when the playoffs and 2584 02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:49,800 Speaker 1: the stretch run comes. You've got to be motivated in 2585 02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:52,040 Speaker 1: the off season as well to prepare to play well. 2586 02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:55,920 Speaker 1: And that's why guys retire. They just can't put up with, 2587 02:04:56,680 --> 02:05:01,160 Speaker 1: you know, the Monday morning through Saturday night preparation for 2588 02:05:01,200 --> 02:05:03,320 Speaker 1: getting ready to play. And that that's the way it 2589 02:05:03,400 --> 02:05:05,120 Speaker 1: was when I retired as well. And I think Tom 2590 02:05:05,120 --> 02:05:08,040 Speaker 1: Brady's getting to a point where he needs more time 2591 02:05:08,080 --> 02:05:10,600 Speaker 1: off so he can recharge his batteries and dredge up 2592 02:05:10,600 --> 02:05:14,520 Speaker 1: the emotion and the desire to get back to it. Um, 2593 02:05:16,520 --> 02:05:18,520 Speaker 1: how much can you play when when you lose that? 2594 02:05:18,600 --> 02:05:21,560 Speaker 1: Can you keep playing? I mean, is there a degradation 2595 02:05:21,560 --> 02:05:23,800 Speaker 1: in your Sunday ability if you're not there during the 2596 02:05:24,160 --> 02:05:26,680 Speaker 1: offseason workouts? We're talking about workouts in May here. You 2597 02:05:26,720 --> 02:05:29,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't think. No, I don't think that impact And I 2598 02:05:29,160 --> 02:05:31,960 Speaker 1: think he's still working out. I think he's doing other stuff. 2599 02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:33,800 Speaker 1: You know, that's the thing too. You play football, you 2600 02:05:33,880 --> 02:05:35,400 Speaker 1: go in there and you do the same exercise. I 2601 02:05:35,400 --> 02:05:38,640 Speaker 1: think that his guy and his program at this point 2602 02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:41,440 Speaker 1: is doing enough things to keep him interested in keeping 2603 02:05:41,440 --> 02:05:43,720 Speaker 1: it lively for him. So it does you know, he 2604 02:05:43,760 --> 02:05:47,960 Speaker 1: can stay motivated to go do it every day because 2605 02:05:47,960 --> 02:05:51,040 Speaker 1: it's it's challenging and it's fun and it's new and different. 2606 02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:56,320 Speaker 1: It's not the same old lift run, lift, run, catch throw, 2607 02:05:56,520 --> 02:05:59,200 Speaker 1: lift run, catch throw kind of kind of workouts that 2608 02:05:59,320 --> 02:06:01,160 Speaker 1: a lot of guys. And he was interesting too. He 2609 02:06:01,520 --> 02:06:03,960 Speaker 1: mentioned it howber Brewer we were talking to from Monday 2610 02:06:03,960 --> 02:06:06,360 Speaker 1: morning quarterback. So I think he just wants to go 2611 02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:08,080 Speaker 1: away and live like a normal human being for a 2612 02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:10,800 Speaker 1: couple of months. And you can understand that on the surface, 2613 02:06:10,800 --> 02:06:13,360 Speaker 1: where a guy wants to get away from football, but 2614 02:06:13,520 --> 02:06:15,720 Speaker 1: going to Monica to a Formula one race and throwing 2615 02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:19,080 Speaker 1: footballs to another game, you know, from one two hundred 2616 02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:22,040 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars yacht to another you know, boat 2617 02:06:22,120 --> 02:06:24,240 Speaker 1: to another guy. You know, that's not a normal, that's 2618 02:06:24,280 --> 02:06:26,879 Speaker 1: not normal. But to get away and have a vacation 2619 02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:31,480 Speaker 1: like that, fishing with your cousins. Or that's not going 2620 02:06:31,520 --> 02:06:33,960 Speaker 1: fishing with a cooler a beer in a boat, you know, 2621 02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:37,960 Speaker 1: and and jeans and a T shirt or shorts and 2622 02:06:37,960 --> 02:06:39,760 Speaker 1: flip flops in a tank top, you know out on 2623 02:06:39,840 --> 02:06:43,400 Speaker 1: Lake Erie. That's in a two hundred and fifty million 2624 02:06:43,440 --> 02:06:48,240 Speaker 1: dollars yacht in a nine hundred dollars sweater. You know, 2625 02:06:48,320 --> 02:06:51,360 Speaker 1: that's not living like a normal human being. No. Um, 2626 02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:53,560 Speaker 1: although I get the I get the mentality, you know, 2627 02:06:53,640 --> 02:06:55,400 Speaker 1: the one and one other thing Albert said, and he 2628 02:06:55,440 --> 02:06:58,920 Speaker 1: wrote it too in his MMQB column. No matter what, 2629 02:06:59,200 --> 02:07:01,280 Speaker 1: and you know, you try, I try to look. I know, 2630 02:07:01,360 --> 02:07:03,400 Speaker 1: we hate the Patriots here. I'm not a fan of 2631 02:07:03,440 --> 02:07:06,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots or Belichick or Brady. They are interesting. They 2632 02:07:06,920 --> 02:07:10,120 Speaker 1: usually are interesting. They I believe especially interesting right now 2633 02:07:10,480 --> 02:07:14,080 Speaker 1: because of the different offseason they've had because of the 2634 02:07:14,640 --> 02:07:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, the chance of a rift between Brady and Belichick, 2635 02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:19,480 Speaker 1: because of the trainer. I mean, those two might have 2636 02:07:19,480 --> 02:07:21,800 Speaker 1: to find a way to put that behind them moving forward. 2637 02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:25,360 Speaker 1: And I find them fascinating. They're great. They've been great 2638 02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:29,400 Speaker 1: for a decade and a half. They have kind of 2639 02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:33,480 Speaker 1: a checkered background with the you know, with the spygate, 2640 02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:36,640 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, inflation of footballs. But I find 2641 02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:41,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots enormously fascinating. Usually. I don't know whether this 2642 02:07:41,600 --> 02:07:45,600 Speaker 1: year it's because you're getting something out of training, out 2643 02:07:45,600 --> 02:07:50,040 Speaker 1: of the OTAs from from New England, because usually it's 2644 02:07:50,840 --> 02:07:53,520 Speaker 1: radio silence. Then yeah, I mean you don't get anything. 2645 02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:56,600 Speaker 1: There's nothing going on. I mean they'll say, okay, like 2646 02:07:56,720 --> 02:07:59,080 Speaker 1: last year, I'll Steph Gilmour's end, Let's see how he 2647 02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:01,920 Speaker 1: looks fine. You know Bill Belichick, he looks fine, He's 2648 02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:03,960 Speaker 1: doing what we ask him to do, and there's just 2649 02:08:04,120 --> 02:08:06,360 Speaker 1: nothing coming out of there. So this year, what is 2650 02:08:06,400 --> 02:08:08,880 Speaker 1: coming out of there isn't all that positive, and it's 2651 02:08:08,920 --> 02:08:14,280 Speaker 1: not the company line. And they're conspicuous by their absence 2652 02:08:14,600 --> 02:08:18,280 Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady and that's so that makes 2653 02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:20,960 Speaker 1: it interesting this year unlike other years that we've seen 2654 02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:24,200 Speaker 1: in the past. And I don't know whether it means 2655 02:08:25,840 --> 02:08:30,560 Speaker 1: the horizon isn't as infinite as it looked like ten 2656 02:08:30,640 --> 02:08:32,920 Speaker 1: years ago with New England, where you know, you know, 2657 02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:36,680 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick was fifty seven years old and Tom Brady 2658 02:08:36,840 --> 02:08:39,520 Speaker 1: was thirty. Yeah, and it looked like there was no 2659 02:08:40,160 --> 02:08:43,440 Speaker 1: end in sight on that horizon. Now not so much. 2660 02:08:43,520 --> 02:08:46,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's forty years old. Bill Belichick's in his late sixties, 2661 02:08:46,800 --> 02:08:50,280 Speaker 1: sixty seven, sixty six years old, sixty seven years old, 2662 02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:52,880 Speaker 1: and they've, you know, they've got to start thinking about 2663 02:08:52,920 --> 02:08:55,520 Speaker 1: what it's going to look like post Tom Brady, post 2664 02:08:55,600 --> 02:08:58,320 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, and those two in particular, Belichick and Brady, 2665 02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:00,400 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they have to mind Gotteth, think about 2666 02:09:00,400 --> 02:09:02,320 Speaker 1: their legacy, how they going to be remembered. You know, 2667 02:09:03,240 --> 02:09:07,840 Speaker 1: I think Brady, who's he does things his way and 2668 02:09:07,880 --> 02:09:10,320 Speaker 1: he's earned the right to do things his way, doesn't 2669 02:09:10,360 --> 02:09:12,360 Speaker 1: want to certainly, I wouldn't think he'd want to play 2670 02:09:12,360 --> 02:09:14,560 Speaker 1: anywhere else down the stretch. He doesn't want to run 2671 02:09:14,560 --> 02:09:16,920 Speaker 1: a file of Bill Belichick. To the point where Belichick says, 2672 02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:18,920 Speaker 1: we got to move on without him. You know, that 2673 02:09:19,040 --> 02:09:22,400 Speaker 1: may have been a little more plausible had they not 2674 02:09:22,440 --> 02:09:25,520 Speaker 1: traded Jimmy Garoppolo, which obviously Belichick did not want to do. 2675 02:09:25,960 --> 02:09:28,440 Speaker 1: And Belichick has got to be concerned with his legacy, 2676 02:09:28,480 --> 02:09:30,480 Speaker 1: doesn't he He's a Hall of famer for sure, but 2677 02:09:30,560 --> 02:09:33,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be remembered or does he as 2678 02:09:33,160 --> 02:09:35,920 Speaker 1: a you know, a difficult coach, and nobody had fun 2679 02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:38,360 Speaker 1: playing there. Is was the narrative last one. I don't 2680 02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:40,480 Speaker 1: know if he gives that a second thought. Really, I 2681 02:09:40,520 --> 02:09:44,280 Speaker 1: think he'll point to his record. I think he you know, 2682 02:09:44,360 --> 02:09:46,840 Speaker 1: I think he got started on his head coaching career 2683 02:09:47,040 --> 02:09:51,200 Speaker 1: at an early edge. I think I think he probably well, obviously, 2684 02:09:51,840 --> 02:09:55,920 Speaker 1: it was just one of the mountain of mistakes to 2685 02:09:56,000 --> 02:09:59,720 Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's made, not only leaving Cleveland, going to Baltimore, 2686 02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:03,120 Speaker 1: firing Bill Belichick and blaming him for the second half 2687 02:10:03,120 --> 02:10:05,120 Speaker 1: of a season when you announced your team was leaving, 2688 02:10:05,960 --> 02:10:08,640 Speaker 1: having him as the scapegoat for what went on, and 2689 02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:12,400 Speaker 1: then we'll look at the at the success he's had 2690 02:10:12,480 --> 02:10:15,520 Speaker 1: later in his career as a head coach. I mean, 2691 02:10:15,560 --> 02:10:18,360 Speaker 1: that's you can say what you want. He I think 2692 02:10:18,360 --> 02:10:20,320 Speaker 1: he was chasing that win record. I think he was 2693 02:10:20,400 --> 02:10:23,240 Speaker 1: chasing George Hallis and Don Shoel. I think that's that 2694 02:10:23,480 --> 02:10:25,520 Speaker 1: and ultimately was in his mind. And I think he 2695 02:10:25,600 --> 02:10:28,720 Speaker 1: settled for Super Bowl wins rather than head coaching wins. 2696 02:10:29,280 --> 02:10:31,320 Speaker 1: I don't think he's willing to stick around for as 2697 02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:32,680 Speaker 1: long as it would take to get him to three 2698 02:10:32,760 --> 02:10:34,480 Speaker 1: twenty six or three hundred and thirty wins like it 2699 02:10:34,520 --> 02:10:40,360 Speaker 1: would take. Also, he talked about tom Brady and I've talked. 2700 02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:42,680 Speaker 1: I told you this before when we've talked about this topic. 2701 02:10:43,040 --> 02:10:47,160 Speaker 1: It rarely ends well. For great players. It rarely ends well. 2702 02:10:47,200 --> 02:10:49,400 Speaker 1: Now for a guy of tom Brady's stature and with 2703 02:10:49,480 --> 02:10:52,000 Speaker 1: the ownership in place in New England, I think it 2704 02:10:52,080 --> 02:10:55,240 Speaker 1: will end okay for tom Brady. I think he'll end 2705 02:10:55,440 --> 02:10:57,880 Speaker 1: He'll walk off into the sunset. He'll walk off the 2706 02:10:57,880 --> 02:11:02,840 Speaker 1: field at in Foxboro Stadium, in Gillette Stadium, He'll walk 2707 02:11:02,840 --> 02:11:04,680 Speaker 1: off that field for the last time as a patron. 2708 02:11:04,720 --> 02:11:06,880 Speaker 1: He'll never consider and it'll never come up that he 2709 02:11:06,880 --> 02:11:09,080 Speaker 1: would even think about or it would even be possible 2710 02:11:09,320 --> 02:11:11,800 Speaker 1: for him to wear a different uniform. I don't think 2711 02:11:11,840 --> 02:11:13,960 Speaker 1: that that's always the case, because I don't think you've 2712 02:11:13,960 --> 02:11:17,760 Speaker 1: got ownership around the league who are as cognizant of 2713 02:11:17,800 --> 02:11:20,520 Speaker 1: that as Robert Kraft is in New England. I think 2714 02:11:20,560 --> 02:11:24,480 Speaker 1: he's a special owner and and I think he'll make 2715 02:11:24,520 --> 02:11:26,880 Speaker 1: sure that it goes down exactly like it. Tom Brady 2716 02:11:26,960 --> 02:11:30,160 Speaker 1: wants it to time out for NFL. True and false 2717 02:11:30,400 --> 02:11:35,200 Speaker 1: presented by Yancy's Fancy New York's artists and Cheese. True false. 2718 02:11:35,280 --> 02:11:37,360 Speaker 1: What do you think how about this? When the NFL 2719 02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:41,200 Speaker 1: is sleeping on Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton. That's what our 2720 02:11:41,240 --> 02:11:44,800 Speaker 1: buddy Peter Schreeger of Good Morning Football and NFL Network said. 2721 02:11:45,040 --> 02:11:47,480 Speaker 1: He said, Andy Dalton hasn't won. This is his words. 2722 02:11:47,720 --> 02:11:50,360 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton has not won crap in the NFL. But 2723 02:11:50,480 --> 02:11:54,800 Speaker 1: he's been slept on going into the season. They you know, 2724 02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:57,720 Speaker 1: he talks about last year Dalton struggled a little bit, 2725 02:11:57,880 --> 02:12:01,680 Speaker 1: but he says, Dalton's gonna be okay, said Bill Laser. 2726 02:12:02,160 --> 02:12:04,400 Speaker 1: Came in as the offensive coordinator last year. At the 2727 02:12:04,440 --> 02:12:06,480 Speaker 1: end of the year, things came together a little bit 2728 02:12:06,480 --> 02:12:09,080 Speaker 1: better for them offensively. He said, I think this is 2729 02:12:09,120 --> 02:12:12,360 Speaker 1: Peter Schreeger. I think Andy Dalton could be the benefactor 2730 02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:15,800 Speaker 1: of a whole off season with his offensive coordinator. Peter 2731 02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:18,920 Speaker 1: Schreger says Andy Dalton is being slept on. The NFL 2732 02:12:18,960 --> 02:12:22,280 Speaker 1: is sleeping on Andy Dalton. True false, I say false, Steve. 2733 02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:24,720 Speaker 1: We've seen Andy Dalton, we know who he is, we 2734 02:12:24,800 --> 02:12:28,160 Speaker 1: know how valuable he was to the Buffalo Bills last 2735 02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:31,240 Speaker 1: year and helping their way to the playoffs. But no, 2736 02:12:31,360 --> 02:12:34,160 Speaker 1: I don't think Andy Valton's gonna surprise anybody with great 2737 02:12:34,160 --> 02:12:35,680 Speaker 1: play this year. I just don't see it. I think 2738 02:12:35,720 --> 02:12:38,680 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. We know exactly who he is. He's 2739 02:12:38,720 --> 02:12:41,600 Speaker 1: had a really good at times, he's had an outstanding 2740 02:12:41,680 --> 02:12:44,400 Speaker 1: roster around him, and that team is underachieved. I think 2741 02:12:45,000 --> 02:12:48,040 Speaker 1: he and Marvin Lewis will I think their legacy is 2742 02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:52,680 Speaker 1: they're never gonna be in the Hall of Fame. They're 2743 02:12:52,680 --> 02:12:55,040 Speaker 1: gonna be in the Hall of pretty good, you know, 2744 02:12:55,600 --> 02:12:57,240 Speaker 1: and that's all as good as good as they are. 2745 02:12:57,440 --> 02:13:00,120 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was a solid starter in the NFL. He 2746 02:13:00,200 --> 02:13:02,640 Speaker 1: got a team to a playoffs a bunch never won 2747 02:13:02,680 --> 02:13:04,440 Speaker 1: a playoff game, and I don't think this year will 2748 02:13:04,440 --> 02:13:06,120 Speaker 1: be any different. So I'm gonna say false as well. 2749 02:13:06,120 --> 02:13:08,240 Speaker 1: Both false on that one. How about this one? Delaney 2750 02:13:08,280 --> 02:13:11,600 Speaker 1: Walker is the best tight end in the NFL. Who 2751 02:13:11,640 --> 02:13:15,640 Speaker 1: said so? He does? The Tennessee Titans tight end says, honestly, 2752 02:13:15,960 --> 02:13:17,800 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm the best tight end in the 2753 02:13:17,880 --> 02:13:21,320 Speaker 1: league in all phases, blocking, run, blocking, catching the ball, 2754 02:13:21,360 --> 02:13:23,960 Speaker 1: breaking tackle stuff like that. At the end of the day, 2755 02:13:23,960 --> 02:13:25,400 Speaker 1: if you don't feel like that, you shouldn't be in 2756 02:13:25,440 --> 02:13:29,520 Speaker 1: the league. Delaney Walker, a Pro Bowl performer a year ago, 2757 02:13:30,400 --> 02:13:33,080 Speaker 1: thirty three years old. Best tight end in the league 2758 02:13:33,080 --> 02:13:38,960 Speaker 1: true false, Steve false yep. Rob gronkowskas. Rob Gronkowski's the 2759 02:13:38,960 --> 02:13:41,680 Speaker 1: best tight end in the league. And there are other 2760 02:13:41,680 --> 02:13:44,280 Speaker 1: guys in that conversation. You know, Jimmy Graham, it is 2761 02:13:44,280 --> 02:13:46,600 Speaker 1: a great tight end. Kel South Kansas City is a 2762 02:13:46,640 --> 02:13:49,080 Speaker 1: great tight end. There's a ton of guys out there 2763 02:13:49,560 --> 02:13:52,520 Speaker 1: who are really, really good. And there's no question Delanny 2764 02:13:52,520 --> 02:13:54,760 Speaker 1: Walker is a very good tight end. He's very productive 2765 02:13:55,160 --> 02:13:57,520 Speaker 1: and he does he does well. He is a full 2766 02:13:57,720 --> 02:14:01,000 Speaker 1: he is a three down tight end as well. But no, 2767 02:14:01,080 --> 02:14:02,640 Speaker 1: he's not the best tight end in the league. But 2768 02:14:02,680 --> 02:14:05,480 Speaker 1: it's the right thing for him to say. I don't 2769 02:14:05,800 --> 02:14:07,760 Speaker 1: I don't have some knoxious for him to say a 2770 02:14:07,760 --> 02:14:10,160 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah. Yeah, but that's even if he thinks 2771 02:14:10,160 --> 02:14:13,200 Speaker 1: that he could, he doesn't have to say it like that, right, yeah, right. 2772 02:14:13,360 --> 02:14:15,240 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that so much. Finally, 2773 02:14:15,280 --> 02:14:17,640 Speaker 1: I say false too. Finally, NFL true or false. This 2774 02:14:17,680 --> 02:14:22,240 Speaker 1: comes from Bucky Brooks of NFL dot Com. Bucky Brooks, 2775 02:14:22,280 --> 02:14:26,360 Speaker 1: former Bill's wide receiver, now former NFL scout, former NFL player, 2776 02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:30,160 Speaker 1: talking about Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott a week ago, suggested, 2777 02:14:30,200 --> 02:14:31,800 Speaker 1: then he really doesn't care if he gets a number 2778 02:14:31,840 --> 02:14:35,240 Speaker 1: one receiver that of course, are finished with dev Dez Bryant, 2779 02:14:35,320 --> 02:14:37,920 Speaker 1: Jason Witten is gone, and Dallas they're worried a little 2780 02:14:37,920 --> 02:14:41,040 Speaker 1: bit about who's gonna catch passes. H Dez Bryant says 2781 02:14:41,040 --> 02:14:44,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, or Dak Prescott said it doesn't matter. 2782 02:14:44,440 --> 02:14:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't need a number one receiver. Um Prescott's quote, 2783 02:14:48,080 --> 02:14:49,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if any team in the league necessarily 2784 02:14:50,000 --> 02:14:52,240 Speaker 1: needs a number one receiver. It's about getting the ball out, 2785 02:14:52,560 --> 02:14:55,120 Speaker 1: spreading the ball around, keeping the defense on its toes. 2786 02:14:56,280 --> 02:14:59,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go false and this one, steve and wishful 2787 02:15:00,120 --> 02:15:03,280 Speaker 1: thinking on the part of Deak Prescott. He needs a 2788 02:15:03,360 --> 02:15:05,560 Speaker 1: number one receiver. He may need a number one receiver 2789 02:15:05,680 --> 02:15:07,880 Speaker 1: more than many more than many others need a number 2790 02:15:07,920 --> 02:15:10,440 Speaker 1: one receiver. I got false on this. I think I'm 2791 02:15:10,480 --> 02:15:12,320 Speaker 1: gonna say true. I don't think he does need it. 2792 02:15:12,360 --> 02:15:14,680 Speaker 1: I think he's got enough weapons around him. And here's 2793 02:15:15,120 --> 02:15:17,320 Speaker 1: here's what about Dallas Cowboys do need. They need a 2794 02:15:17,760 --> 02:15:19,680 Speaker 1: their offensive line to get back to what it was 2795 02:15:19,720 --> 02:15:23,640 Speaker 1: two years ago when Ezekiel Elliott was running the football 2796 02:15:23,680 --> 02:15:26,080 Speaker 1: for fourteen hundred yards. I mean, that's what they really need. 2797 02:15:26,120 --> 02:15:28,840 Speaker 1: When that offensive line went south, so did everything else 2798 02:15:28,880 --> 02:15:32,520 Speaker 1: on that team. Dez Bryant was an okay receiver last year, 2799 02:15:32,760 --> 02:15:35,160 Speaker 1: and I think it was an addition by subtraction. So 2800 02:15:35,280 --> 02:15:38,080 Speaker 1: if you're telling me that he needs a Dez Bryan, 2801 02:15:38,080 --> 02:15:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say false. Now, everybody could use a great receiver, absolutely, 2802 02:15:42,400 --> 02:15:46,200 Speaker 1: but they've got Dallas will benefit from having the ability 2803 02:15:46,760 --> 02:15:49,960 Speaker 1: to spread the football around without having to be forced 2804 02:15:50,120 --> 02:15:53,000 Speaker 1: to feed one guy the ball, even if it is 2805 02:15:53,040 --> 02:15:56,680 Speaker 1: a number one receiver. I say false, you gotta They 2806 02:15:56,720 --> 02:16:00,400 Speaker 1: just need receivers who can catch it and get opened, 2807 02:16:00,880 --> 02:16:06,240 Speaker 1: whether they're number one or number two or if or whatever. 2808 02:16:06,440 --> 02:16:08,760 Speaker 1: That I think Dek Prescott can be successful. I think 2809 02:16:08,760 --> 02:16:11,040 Speaker 1: it's their offensive line more than their receiving corps. That's 2810 02:16:11,080 --> 02:16:14,280 Speaker 1: the key in Dallas. NFL tur or False Presented by 2811 02:16:14,440 --> 02:16:17,680 Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese. Steve and I 2812 02:16:17,760 --> 02:16:19,880 Speaker 1: coming up a few minutes here, we're back with Moore 2813 02:16:20,000 --> 02:16:23,000 Speaker 1: One Bill's line from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio. 2814 02:16:36,440 --> 02:16:39,320 Speaker 1: What have we learned now? Presented by Advanced Alarm providing 2815 02:16:39,360 --> 02:16:42,640 Speaker 1: Western New York's homes and businesses with the finest insecurity 2816 02:16:42,720 --> 02:16:45,480 Speaker 1: and home theater. They preferred Alarm and home theater provider 2817 02:16:45,520 --> 02:16:47,920 Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills. What have we learned? Albert Brier 2818 02:16:48,040 --> 02:16:51,000 Speaker 1: joined us earlier this hour, who is the reporter, the 2819 02:16:51,080 --> 02:16:54,959 Speaker 1: senior NFL reporter for MMQB. Talked to Albert about a lot, 2820 02:16:55,000 --> 02:16:58,720 Speaker 1: including the Patriots where he was at Patriots OTAs today 2821 02:16:58,840 --> 02:17:01,840 Speaker 1: or their mandatory any game. Yes, Tom Brady was there, 2822 02:17:02,040 --> 02:17:05,359 Speaker 1: but Brady missed the last seven weeks of the Patriots 2823 02:17:05,360 --> 02:17:08,480 Speaker 1: offseason workouts, and we asked Albert Brier what kind of 2824 02:17:08,480 --> 02:17:10,400 Speaker 1: a message might be sent to the younger players on 2825 02:17:10,480 --> 02:17:13,080 Speaker 1: the new England roster watching Brady skip out on the 2826 02:17:13,120 --> 02:17:17,200 Speaker 1: first seven weeks of offseason workouts. They've always coached Brady hard, 2827 02:17:17,280 --> 02:17:20,520 Speaker 1: They've always treated like he's anyone else in the roster. 2828 02:17:21,480 --> 02:17:24,320 Speaker 1: And you know, if you can't do that anymore, then 2829 02:17:24,520 --> 02:17:26,280 Speaker 1: you know what happens when a young player is having 2830 02:17:26,280 --> 02:17:28,760 Speaker 1: a tough week or a tough month, or is coming 2831 02:17:28,760 --> 02:17:30,760 Speaker 1: off of a tough game. Is he going to be 2832 02:17:30,840 --> 02:17:33,320 Speaker 1: engaged to the same level. I just I think so 2833 02:17:33,400 --> 02:17:36,240 Speaker 1: much of this, so much of the way it seems 2834 02:17:36,240 --> 02:17:38,760 Speaker 1: to work in the NFL now, or how your your 2835 02:17:38,879 --> 02:17:41,320 Speaker 1: your best players work and how engaged they are to 2836 02:17:41,400 --> 02:17:44,240 Speaker 1: what you're doing and all of that. If Brady's always 2837 02:17:44,240 --> 02:17:47,240 Speaker 1: been to the bottle of what you want as far 2838 02:17:47,360 --> 02:17:51,000 Speaker 1: as that goes, m with the way Bill you're not 2839 02:17:51,120 --> 02:17:53,200 Speaker 1: engaged to the same level. I mean, I don't know 2840 02:17:53,240 --> 02:17:56,120 Speaker 1: how it's going to affect them in twenty and eighteen, 2841 02:17:56,320 --> 02:17:58,720 Speaker 1: but I know what a great benefit has been to 2842 02:17:58,760 --> 02:18:02,440 Speaker 1: them over the course last eighteen years. And so if 2843 02:18:02,440 --> 02:18:04,120 Speaker 1: that's the thing, you'd have to think that there's going 2844 02:18:04,200 --> 02:18:06,840 Speaker 1: to be fallout, no more nothing. I would think so, Steven, 2845 02:18:06,840 --> 02:18:09,040 Speaker 1: And you know it strikes me. Listen to Albert Baird 2846 02:18:09,120 --> 02:18:11,560 Speaker 1: discuss and you mentioned in a minute ago too, how 2847 02:18:11,600 --> 02:18:14,000 Speaker 1: Brady has always been, you know, coach the hardest. The 2848 02:18:14,240 --> 02:18:17,280 Speaker 1: understanding that Belichick and Brady would have on that is 2849 02:18:17,280 --> 02:18:19,240 Speaker 1: there a player on the Buffalo roster like that. I 2850 02:18:19,320 --> 02:18:20,880 Speaker 1: was thinking about that. You know why I arrived at 2851 02:18:21,440 --> 02:18:24,640 Speaker 1: You're not a quarterback Kyle Williams. So if you're a 2852 02:18:24,640 --> 02:18:27,320 Speaker 1: young Buffalo Bill, if you're Harrison Phillips, are one of 2853 02:18:27,360 --> 02:18:29,480 Speaker 1: these guys you come in here, you see ten or 2854 02:18:29,480 --> 02:18:32,600 Speaker 1: eleven year veteran like Kyle Williams here for most of, 2855 02:18:32,720 --> 02:18:35,560 Speaker 1: if not all, of the offseason workouts, working as hard 2856 02:18:35,600 --> 02:18:38,160 Speaker 1: as he is instructing other players. I witnessed this last 2857 02:18:38,160 --> 02:18:42,000 Speaker 1: Thursday watching the Ota practice, you know, instructing him other 2858 02:18:42,040 --> 02:18:44,280 Speaker 1: players what's needed in this drill, what we're doing in 2859 02:18:44,320 --> 02:18:46,360 Speaker 1: this drill. I would think that would be kind. And 2860 02:18:46,680 --> 02:18:49,400 Speaker 1: certainly they don't back off on Kyle Williams. They don't 2861 02:18:49,400 --> 02:18:51,879 Speaker 1: give him days off during the season. I would think 2862 02:18:51,920 --> 02:18:54,080 Speaker 1: he might be the guy that this young Buffalo Bills 2863 02:18:54,080 --> 02:18:56,120 Speaker 1: team or the younger players on this Buffalo Bills team 2864 02:18:56,320 --> 02:18:58,480 Speaker 1: could look at and say, that's what we're looking for. 2865 02:18:58,640 --> 02:19:01,760 Speaker 1: That's what, that's what and that's what the veterans do, 2866 02:19:01,800 --> 02:19:04,320 Speaker 1: and that's why this culture is so important. And in 2867 02:19:04,360 --> 02:19:07,440 Speaker 1: New England, Bill Belichick doesn't give it a second thought, 2868 02:19:07,440 --> 02:19:10,680 Speaker 1: doesn't give culture a second thought. He coaches his best 2869 02:19:10,760 --> 02:19:15,280 Speaker 1: player hard. And if anybody else down the line doesn't 2870 02:19:15,320 --> 02:19:17,560 Speaker 1: want to get coached like that, they can hit the door. 2871 02:19:17,600 --> 02:19:20,160 Speaker 1: They'll they'll get rid of him.
