1
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: This one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: All Right, here we are an hour early in wake

3
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: of the breaking news for multiple reports, and we will

4
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: tell you if you haven't heard that, according to multiple reports,

5
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: the Bills are promoting Joe Brady to be the seventeenth

6
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: head coach in team history. Nothing yet official from the team,

7
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: but as we said, according to multiple reports, it's.

8
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: A five year deal for Brady.

9
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: This is his first head coaching appointment, entering his ninth

10
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: year as an NFL coach. He's thirty six years old,

11
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: and this development comes just hours after two head coaching

12
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: interviews Monday, one of which went late into the night

13
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: last night, when the Bills completed a zoom interview with

14
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: Rams pass game coordinator Nate Schielhouse for their vacant head

15
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: coaching position. Sheelhouse was a former quarterback at Illinois OC

16
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: at Iowa State before joining mcveighs staff in twenty twenty four,

17
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: and Selhouse was the ninth and final candidate to interview

18
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 2: for the position before this announcement was made. Davis Webb

19
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: interviewed earlier in the day on Monday, the Denver pass

20
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: game coordinator and quarterbacks coach and former third quarterback of

21
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. So that is where we sit right now. Again,

22
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: nothing official from the team. We'll see if that comes

23
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: down during the course of our show here this afternoon.

24
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: But feel freed away and everybody.

25
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: We've been here, you will here we go.

26
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,279
Speaker 3: Eight oh three, five fifty.

27
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: I think most people are. Most people a little disappointed.

28
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: They wanted some sexy new hire that they didn't want.

29
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: They didn't want a promotion from within because there's too

30
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: much of the same old, same ole. That's what some

31
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 4: of the early returns on you know, the feedback on

32
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: social is and people are like, nah, you know that.

33
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 4: It didn't take long, I'll say that. And they had.

34
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 4: They did interview a number of candidates, and I don't

35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: know that. I don't think by any stretch of the

36
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: imagination that this was a foregone conclusion when the process started.

37
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: Joe Brady was the first to be interviewed, presumably because

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: he was here. I mean he was underfoot, uh and

39
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: it was in the building here. Yeah, he was here already,

40
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: so I get why he was first. And then they

41
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: interviewed eight more candidates after him over the course of

42
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: seven days six days. So you cannot say they were

43
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: not thorough. I mean, you don't interview nine candidates unless

44
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: you're really serious about, you know, beating the bushes and

45
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: trying to cover every base possible to find what you

46
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: believe is to be best for your team and where

47
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: they're at now. They landed on Joe Brady. I know

48
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: that there are people that are his detractors amongst the

49
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: Bills fan base. And in his two years as offensive coordinator,

50
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: his team has led the league in points twenty twenty

51
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: four and then had the number one rushing offense in

52
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: football this year and was fourth in scoring. That's the

53
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: bare bones. Head coach is a different job. We know that,

54
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: and I think the biggest question now is does the

55
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: defensive staff and the vast majority of the offensive staff

56
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: remain the same or will there be changed? Yeah, that's good,

57
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: I think on the other side, I think on the

58
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball, you would anticipate the majority

59
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: of it stays the same. Does it change on the

60
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, I think is the big

61
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: question now.

62
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. And the obviously if Joe Brady moves, there's a

63
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: vacancy at the offensive coordinator. Do one of the other

64
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: candidates that We've heard so much about get a chance

65
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: to move in like a Davis web coming over from Denver.

66
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: Or Ordinsky worked with him in Carolina. Dear Matt Ruhle.

67
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: So and we know that they've just finished up an

68
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: interview with Yudinsky. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see, but

69
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: one of the before.

70
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 3: But he just got a pay raise Jacksonville.

71
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: If he didn't get this head coaching job, I we say,

72
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: odds are he goes back to jackson before.

73
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 4: The show, before this hit in the news, our topic

74
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 4: was going to be what's the question you're going to

75
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: ask any candidate? What do you want to find out

76
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 4: on these candidate? What's your number one question? That was

77
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: what we're going to talk about today. And that's what

78
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 4: I think my question would be. When we're hearing Joe

79
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: Brady about who's your staff gonna be? That's my number

80
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 4: one question. Let me talk about your staff. Is there

81
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 4: anybody on the current staff that you want to keep?

82
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: Is there anybody outside the building that you want to

83
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 4: bring in? Is it you know job one? Who do

84
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: you got to have from outside the building. Those are

85
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 4: questions you got to know, and we're not gonna know

86
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: that until they sit down when we start finding out,

87
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: they may tell us, but they're probably gonna be pretty

88
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 4: tight lipped without their candidates for offensive coordinator. But until

89
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 4: the guy says yes, that's really to me what this

90
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: is gonna be about. I said a little bit this yesterday.

91
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: I think anybody they hire as head coach, including Joe Brady,

92
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 4: they're gonna be come in here to a place that

93
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: has been running smooth. I know that sounds crazy, and

94
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: they've been out of but this is a place that's

95
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: got doing a lot of things right. They're winning playoff

96
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: games every year. Their offense is, like you said, it

97
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: was leading the league in points one year, leading it

98
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: and rushing the next year. They're a high level They

99
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 4: got maybe the best player in the league on their

100
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: roster at quarterback, the most important spot. So they're doing

101
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: a lot of things right. And I think any guy

102
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 4: they hire is gonna be, if he needs it, buoyed

103
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: by the culture that's already in the building.

104
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: So you don't need I really need a culture guy.

105
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 2: The culture is already here.

106
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: To some extent. Yeah, So I think who the staff is,

107
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen, is gonna help whoever comes in, you know,

108
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: make this transition, and of course it should be you

109
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: would think smoother with Brady taking over rather than than Sean.

110
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: I when I played my first year in the league,

111
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 4: I got drafted by a staff. That staff got fired

112
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: and in a sixteen week season, they got fired after

113
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 4: week thirteen, three games left, and the defensive coordinator took over,

114
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: and then he was retained as the head coach the

115
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: next year. That transition was smooth in my mind. Back then,

116
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: I got in at the last half of a transition

117
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: where a new coach came in, Marv Levy, and I

118
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: got in. I was the first new player they signed

119
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: out for He got the job before they even played

120
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: a game. That transition was a little rockier because they

121
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: didn't have a culture. So i'm i'm I think it's

122
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: going to be really interesting to see. It's not as

123
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 4: much fun as if they're hiring somebody you know that

124
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: we don't know. That's a little bit more invigorating, I

125
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: think for a fan base because there's all these questions

126
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 4: and you know, let's go, offensive coordinators in the NFL,

127
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: they get as much or more criticism than head coaches

128
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: in the NFL, So you're getting the guy who's taking

129
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: his share of slings and arrows here in Buffalo.

130
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: Taking a look at Buffalo's coaching staff. The changes that

131
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,119
Speaker 2: we do know will happen will be offensive line coach

132
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: because Aaron Kromer retired at the end of the season.

133
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: That will be of job vacancy that has to be filled.

134
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: Special teams coordinator has to be filled because Chris Taber

135
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: took the job in Miami under new head coach Jeff

136
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: Halfley for the Dolphins, So you need a special teams

137
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: coordinator for sure. That is a vacant position here as

138
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: his offensive line coach and offensive coordinator, as Steve said,

139
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: is a vacant position right now. Ronald Curry is the

140
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: quarterbacks coach. Came with Joe Brady to Buffalo when he

141
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: was first hired by Sean McDermott. So sorry he got

142
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: here in twenty twenty four. He did not come when

143
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: Joe Brady arrived. He came a year later or two

144
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: years later. But he has a long, extensive coaching history

145
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: with Joe Brady back from their days together in New Orleans.

146
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: I think he is a primary candidate was send to

147
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, but we'll see how things shake out.

148
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: Here going forward, but let's.

149
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: Get your thoughts on this at eight oh three oh

150
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: five point fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five

151
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: fifty the numbers.

152
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: To jump on board, and we go to Joe in Lancaster.

153
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: That's what's that, Joe, Joe, are you there?

154
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 4: All right?

155
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: I gotta put Joe on hold because he wasn't ready.

156
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: We'll go to Will in Clarence. What's up Will?

157
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: Hey?

158
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 6: Guys, how you doing?

159
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 7: Listen?

160
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 6: I love Joe Brady, okay, and I uh, I just

161
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 6: I need some help here because I'm just confused. I

162
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 6: don't know, I don't know how you know, how now

163
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,479
Speaker 6: that we have Joe Brady, we're gonna have less offensive

164
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 6: penalties or like, I'm just confused how Brandon Bean gets

165
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 6: a promotion Joe Brady, you know, I just confused. I

166
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 6: mean if you brought in a John Gruden with a

167
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 6: ring on his finger, or somebody else that has been there,

168
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 6: or someone that's.

169
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 7: Ed tenure as a head coach, that's where I thought

170
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 7: we were going. And I just need some help here

171
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 7: because everything's the same. But now that Seawn's gone, we're

172
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 7: gonna be okay. So I'll just listen and I appreciate

173
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 7: you guys.

174
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: Thanks, Okay, thanks for the call.

175
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: Will I understand why it's puzzling. I think a lot

176
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: of fans are gonna have a lot of questions that

177
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: they're gonna need answered because the front office felt that

178
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: change was necessary at the head coaching position, and I

179
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: don't think they view this. I'm talking about fans now,

180
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 2: based on the feedback we've gotten when the coaching search

181
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: was on, we heard this, I think they believed, Okay,

182
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: you're telling us that change was necessary. I get the

183
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: sense from fans that they didn't believe hiring Joe Brady

184
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: as head coach would represent enough change that the brass

185
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: felt was necessary. Let's wait and see, because maybe Joe

186
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: Brady does have enough change planned going forward that led.

187
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: Them to this decision.

188
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna say, breathe for a second and

189
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: see what the coaching staff looked like looks like. And

190
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: while your head coach may not seem like a dramatic

191
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: change from what it's been, the coaching staff may change

192
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: that opinion. And that's going to take days, possibly a

193
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: couple of weeks to sort itself out, and we'll see

194
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: where it goes.

195
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: If everything stays the same.

196
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 2: Well, then maybe some of your concerns have a degree

197
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: of validity to them.

198
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: We'll have to wait and see.

199
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: I was trying to look up Steve the number of

200
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: offensive penalties that the Bills had, and I was just

201
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: trying to get all the teams together.

202
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 4: I'm still working on that. I didn't That's not what

203
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: occurred to me. I didn't feel like the Bills.

204
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 3: Well, they got called for a lot of holding penalties.

205
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 4: Yeah I know that. Yeah, yeah, I certainly now, particularly

206
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: with an internal promotion, and I've made my I think

207
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: I've made my feelings clear about the how Brandon Bean

208
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: and how he got moved up the ladder of what

209
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 4: I felt about that and why he got a promotion,

210
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: and why Sean McDermott got let go. I think there's

211
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: a lot we got to wait to see. We'd have

212
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 4: to wait and see about every all of it. If

213
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 4: it was Yudensky or Kobiak or shield House or any

214
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 4: of the other new guys coming in, or Dayball even it,

215
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: we'd have to wait and see about all of the

216
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 4: things that they're gonna do when they get here, and

217
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: you feel like it's going to be more of the

218
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: same with Brady. I don't know that that's entirely the case,

219
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 4: But then again, this team's been so close for so

220
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: many years. How much transformation do you need? I mean,

221
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 4: you gotta go down that You gotta go down that

222
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 4: rabbit hole too. And there's a million things you can

223
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: bring to the table. If you think there's one thing,

224
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: or two things or five things that need to be

225
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 4: different out of the three million things you got to

226
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 4: get right, how much change do you want? And the

227
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: head coach, Yeah, we're all sitting there right now today.

228
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: But the fact that this got done so quickly, it's

229
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 4: a little surprising to me. Yeah, I gotta be honest.

230
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: Well, we were talking on yesterday's show about whether or

231
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: not you would feel comfortable waiting two weeks just to

232
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: talk to Clint Kubiak, right knowing the rules prevented the

233
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: Bills from doing so until then, And clearly they went

234
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: through nine candidates and interviews and that was enough for

235
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 2: them to land on Joe Brady. Just in case you

236
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 2: were wondering, forty nine penalties for the offense, sixty one

237
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: for the defense for on special teams this past season

238
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: for the Bills to Tyler in Buffalo next.

239
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 8: What's up, Tyler, Hey, guys, I'm just gonna give you

240
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 8: my thoughts and then I'll let you guys talk about it.

241
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 9: So I love this decision.

242
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 10: For one reason and one reason only.

243
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 8: Like most people, I think that Josh waighing heavily on

244
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 8: this decision, and I think that the brass thought about

245
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 8: it and left it up to Josh to decide how

246
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 8: his legacy would end up. I think Josh has thought

247
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 8: about it and figured he put a lot of time

248
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 8: in and energy into the relationship that he has with

249
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 8: Joe grading starting over probably wouldn't be worth it with

250
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 8: somebody else. And I just think that, you know, Josh

251
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 8: probably deserves the right to figure out in five years,

252
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 8: if he doesn't win the championship, then it's you know,

253
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: it's gonna be partially on him. So I think that's

254
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 8: a good rule. I mean, I'm not happy with the choice.

255
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 8: I think they he need slight tweaks, mostly on the defense.

256
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 8: I don't know if this is the right way to

257
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 8: do it, but I don't know.

258
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 3: Thank you, thanks, Tyler. Yeah, I get it. Look, I think.

259
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: I think the shock of the Sean McDermott firing took

260
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: a few days for a lot of the Bills fan

261
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: base to process. Then they moved forward and said, Okay,

262
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna get a change. And then they see this

263
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: announcement today and I'm just from the callers we're taking here,

264
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: I get the sense that this wasn't the kind of

265
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: change they were anticipating.

266
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: Let's go to Nicky in Connecticut.

267
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 11: What's up NICKI, Hey guys, good morning. So I'm I'm

268
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 11: baffled by this because even though I don't I understand it,

269
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 11: I just don't agree with it, because you can't sit

270
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 11: there at Pagola and be in and say we want change,

271
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 11: or or specifically saying we want change. And then also

272
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 11: in the press conference about you know, king on Coleman

273
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 11: and the way he spoke about that situation when they

274
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 11: took around and then hire Brady as the head coach.

275
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 11: It just baffleles my mind. And the only thing I'm

276
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 11: really hoping for is they bring an OC such as

277
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 11: Table honestly that understands, you know, the play calling side

278
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 11: of things and has the you know, coach's mentality as

279
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 11: being the previous coach with even the Giants, so that

280
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 11: he can help Brady and polish him on that side,

281
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 11: because this whole situation just baffles my mind. And like

282
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 11: I said, I just go back to Pagoula and the

283
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 11: press conference and the way he spoke about certain things

284
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 11: like COVID. It just blows my mind that this is

285
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 11: the route we're going versus, you know, getting somebody that's

286
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 11: approven head coach.

287
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: Right, I get it.

288
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know why. I don't know how Keon

289
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 4: is irrelevant to that situation, but yeah, if you're if

290
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 4: if the head coach or I'm sorry, the owner and

291
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: the GM or whoever the organization wants real change and

292
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 4: then they hire from within, it's hard to say if

293
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 4: that will be enough change. But by the same token,

294
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 4: this is an organization that has been on the cusp

295
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 4: for six or seven years, and you don't want to

296
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 4: throw the baby out with the bathwater in that respect.

297
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 4: But by the same token, every year there are candidates

298
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 4: out there who seem like they are ready for this opportunity.

299
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. Joe Brady would be one

300
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 4: of them, obviously, but so would you know, Davis Webb,

301
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 4: Grant Yedinski, Clint Kobiak, Nate Shieldhouse. All these names have

302
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: been thrown out there as new guys, plus the old

303
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,239
Speaker 4: guys like Brian Daboll, Mike McCarthy and the like who

304
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 4: have been in the loop before. All those names are

305
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 4: in there, and it's it's interesting when you weigh what

306
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 4: the club is looking for with what is available out there,

307
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 4: plus the eight candidates they talk to. Uh, yeah, I

308
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: don't have a I don't have a problem with you.

309
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: They can pick who they want. But after having talked

310
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 4: to all those guys, and I know they asked some

311
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: pretty I know they asked some pretty pointed questions, and

312
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 4: Joe Brady outshined all those guys. Okay, let's see it.

313
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 4: I'm I'm I'm okay with it. If they went through

314
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 4: this process for the last week and been talking to

315
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: everybody you can think of except for the guys they

316
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: can't talk to. All Right, let's go then, because certainly

317
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: Joe Brady knows the building better than any of the

318
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 4: other candidates.

319
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely, let's go to Dakota in Florida. What's up Dakota.

320
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 12: Hey, guys, thank you for taking my calls. First off, Sure, look,

321
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 12: I don't want to harp like everybody else is, but

322
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 12: I am disappointed as well. I mean, we're supposed to

323
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 12: have this whole entire you know, prime and his prime

324
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 12: of his time quarterback, and yet we're just hiring the

325
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 12: same guy that we've hit the pervial wall with three times,

326
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 12: all right, So I just I don't understand it. It

327
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 12: just makes me think of what happened with the Sabers

328
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 12: and Jack Eigel, another you know, franchise prime player, and

329
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 12: we're wasting his career. You know, I hope it's different.

330
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 12: I just don't have a lot of hope. Thank you, guys.

331
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Deakoda, this is not that I don't think, but

332
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 4: the guy you hired is the one who was absolutely

333
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: killing it on his side of the ball. He wasn't

334
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 4: coming up short on his side of the ball. They

335
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 4: were killing it on offense.

336
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: Since he has been offensive coordinator, the Bills have played

337
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: seven playoff games. In those seven playoff games under Joe

338
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: Brady a is OC, the offense has averaged twenty eight

339
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: point four points per game. I'll try to see if

340
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: I can find where that ranks in the NFL over

341
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: that span of time, but I would imagine it ranks

342
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: pretty high. They have not had a problem scoring points

343
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 2: in the postseason. You can say that's Josh and you

344
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: want to give him credit. That's fine.

345
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 4: It still counts.

346
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: It still counts, and I mean you're going to They

347
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: did that against the Baltimore defense that I believe was

348
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: top five in the league last year, scoring twenty five

349
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: against them in the divisional playoff here at home.

350
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: They waxed the Broncos last.

351
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: Year, hung thirty one unanswered points on them, you know,

352
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: and twenty four against the Chiefs, twenty nine against the

353
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs it wasn't enough, thirty against the Broncos second best

354
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: run defense in football, third best defense in football, so yeah,

355
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: and twenty seven against the number one run defense in

356
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 2: football in the wild card round this year.

357
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 4: And you're talking about it, Think about this if you're

358
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: in an interview process with another team not the Bills,

359
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 4: and Joe Brady walks into your building, like if you're

360
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: the Raiders and he says, I had, you know, Khalil

361
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 4: Shakirs a wide out, and I had eight other guys

362
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 4: that we rotated in because of injury, and we were

363
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 4: we had James Cook in an offensive line. We led

364
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: the league in rushing and were the number three, what

365
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 4: was top five offense overall and I had to do

366
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 4: it with this wide receiver crew that everybody vilified. And

367
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 4: then last year when I had different guys who were

368
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 4: actually have worse pedigrees than the ones I had. This

369
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 4: year we led the league in scoring. You know, I

370
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 4: found a way to get it done with the with

371
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 4: the roster that we had that was not liked by

372
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 4: a lot of people. So Joe Brady could spin it

373
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: any way he wants to when he's in those kinds

374
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 4: of situations, and other teams would listen.

375
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: And I think the other possibility is maybe the other

376
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 2: coaching candidates we're going to completely revamp the offensive system,

377
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: and whether that was an attractive offensive system or not,

378
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: perhaps it's too much change in the eyes of the

379
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: brass for the team to undertake and still be as

380
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 2: competitive as they have been the last several years. To

381
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: Steven Orchard Park next, what's up, Steve?

382
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, how you doing good. I think we're all

383
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 13: disappointed because we were kind of led to believe that,

384
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 13: you know, they would probably be somebody outside the organization

385
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 13: rather than somebody who was on the inside. And I

386
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 13: think that's why fans wanted a total or reset by

387
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 13: somebody from the outside, they weren't happy with Joe Brady

388
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 13: the way call plays, YadA YadA. In my opinion, I

389
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 13: think they did all these interviews, and I think Josh

390
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 13: said in on all the interviews, and maybe nobody who

391
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 13: interviewed blew joshuway. Maybe Josh was sitting there and he

392
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 13: heard all the interviews and he said, well, you know,

393
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 13: nobody had a better interview than Joe Brady, and Joe

394
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 13: Brady's here, and he made the statement that he loves

395
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 13: Joe Brady like a brother. So, in my opinion, I

396
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 13: thought it was either going to be Joe Brady or

397
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 13: Brian Dabele. He probably told them he could work with

398
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 13: either one of them, and they settled on Joe Brady.

399
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 13: So there's so much questions. Is he going to bring

400
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 13: in Davis Webb as the OC? Is Joe Brady going

401
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 13: to continue to call plays? Who's our DC? So until

402
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 13: all these questions are answered, there's just a lot of

403
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 13: apprehension out there. Yep, But that's the way it is.

404
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 13: What it was, the same thing with McDermott. You like it,

405
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 13: love it, what's done is done, and it's time.

406
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 7: To move on.

407
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 3: Thanks Steve. I think you framed that pretty well.

408
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, hope springs eternal when things you don't know, right

409
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 4: with a guy you don't know, and you can go

410
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 4: back and polish his resume up and look at it

411
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 4: yourself and think this is going to be great. Here

412
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 4: we go. But with Joe, I mean, they led the

413
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 4: league in rushing, and they were tops in points last year,

414
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 4: and their offensive, their wide receiver room actually was degraded

415
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: I think in twenty five as opposed where it wasn't

416
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: four And he's making and he's and they're still doing

417
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 4: extremely well, top three or four in scoring in the league.

418
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 4: And Joe Brady took a lot of heat during the season.

419
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 4: People don't like play selection the offensive coordinator. That's not

420
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: just in Buffalo, that's league wide. It's hard for a

421
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: lot of people to get around that. There's too many instances,

422
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 4: they think in this regular season where they threw their

423
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 4: hands up and said, now, what's Joe Brady doing? What's

424
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 4: Joe Brady doing?

425
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 12: You know?

426
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, they're twelve and five again and in the playoffs

427
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: and winning playoff games, and they score thirty points on

428
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 4: the number three defense in football.

429
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: There a top five offense in the league.

430
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, he's They're doing a lot of things right,

431
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 4: and a lot of people their default is, Hey, Josh

432
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 4: is the reason. I don't know if I yes some

433
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 4: of it, no question about it. He's the best player

434
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 4: in the league. But it takes a lot to get

435
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: a quarterback in a position to put the numbers up

436
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 4: Josh has and for them to put the wins up

437
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 4: and the kind of offense that they have.

438
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but we are

439
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: wide open for your phone call, So if you're holding

00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: named the new head coach at the Buffalo Bill, seventeenth

446
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: coach in team history. The team just announcing that about

447
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: a half a minute ago, and according to reports, it

448
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 2: is a five year contract. We want your thoughts on it,

449
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 2: so we go right back to the phones at eight

450
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: oh three oh five fifty one eighty eight eight five

451
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: fifty two, five fifty and two. Hunter down in Fredonia,

452
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: what's up.

453
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Much respect to you.

454
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 14: I'm just dumbfounded here. I don't understand the decision making

455
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 14: by Dean in Pegoula.

456
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 6: Here.

457
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 14: I thought having Josh with the decision makers would be

458
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 14: would be helpful, but it just seems like and I

459
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 14: get it. I've listened to you guys about our offense

460
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 14: averaging twenty eight points. I get that, but I mean,

461
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 14: we all watched the games. This is this was not

462
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 14: the same bill as offense. I get we're missing a

463
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 14: number one receiver, but I'm just absolutely dumbfounded here. Been

464
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 14: a season ticket holder with the family for like fifteen years.

465
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 14: I'm in a big group chat with like twenty thirty

466
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 14: other people and all of us our offense seems like

467
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 14: it was the problem this year, and we just hired

468
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 14: our problem as head coach.

469
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 4: So looking, wait, wait, you think the offense was the

470
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 4: problem this year?

471
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 14: Yes, Steve, did you watch the games?

472
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: Why why did you think?

473
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 4: Did you? Are you one of those that for the

474
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 4: firing of the off of the head coaching staff when

475
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 4: they won by thirty one points against Carolina?

476
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 15: No?

477
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 6: I was not.

478
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: I was not one of them.

479
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 4: Why why?

480
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 2: I'm just curious, Hunter, Why did you think the offense

481
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: was the problem this year?

482
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 14: The predictability and the play calling, guys. And I'm not

483
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 14: trying to be rude towards you guys.

484
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 6: By no, no, not at all.

485
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: I just honestly wanted to know. I was curious.

486
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: Hunter, You're not the first guy that's called it. I

487
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 4: got news for you. Hunter, you can get in line.

488
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 4: We're no, we're not mad at your opinion. We fine,

489
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 4: that's why we open the phones. We want to hear

490
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 4: this stuff. So, uh, how do you how do you

491
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 4: get around the fact that how highly their rank compared

492
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 4: to other offenses in the league.

493
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 14: And I get and I get your point, guys, I

494
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 14: really do. It's just again the predictability.

495
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 16: Okay.

496
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 14: I look back at the last drive of the playoff game.

497
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 14: We had three sets of three sets of downs. Right,

498
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 14: we come back, we go out in single back formation,

499
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 14: and we run the ball on first down every time.

500
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 14: And I get it, you got a red hot running back.

501
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 14: I get all that, But I think telling the Sunday

502
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 14: Night and Sunday Night announcers said, when the Bills come

503
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 14: out in single back formation, it's like seventy or eighty

504
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 14: percent of the time that they're running the ball. The

505
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 14: predictability that Joe Brady that he did it just doesn't

506
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 14: make sense to me.

507
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 17: It makes zero offense to me.

508
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 14: It almost feels like we have Ken Dorsey as our

509
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 14: head coach now, like it's that bad.

510
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: I'll respect your predictability point. I don't think it's as

511
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 2: bad as Ken Dorsey. I don't even think it's close.

512
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 2: I think also one of the main reasons they ran

513
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: in as much as they did. I think they were

514
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 2: second in the league in run plays this season was

515
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: because they were very good at it. And I think,

516
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: to Joe Brady's credit, against the number one run defense

517
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: in football this season, in the Jacksonville Wild Card game,

518
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: after it was clear the run game was not working,

519
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: they pivoted to Khalil Shakir and used him as an

520
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: extension in the run game to the tune of twelve

521
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: receptions for eighty two yards and ended up winning the

522
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: football game. James Cook had fifteen carries in that game.

523
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: So while I will agree you can find instances through

524
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: the course of the season where Joe Brady probably stuck

525
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: with something too long, I think the vast majority of

526
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: the time when it was warranted, he pivoted. You can

527
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: point to the Houston game, I think. I think you

528
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: can point to the Miami game that they lost thirty

529
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: to thirteen, and I think you can point to the

530
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: Atlanta game as examples where a change in game plan

531
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: did not happen quickly enough. But I don't think those

532
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: were the sole reasons why the Bills lost those games.

533
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: I think player energy and execution on the field was

534
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: also a major problem. We all saw how flat they

535
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: were when they came out against Atlanta, when they came

536
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: out against Miami, and when they came out against the

537
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: Patriots in Week five in a Sunday night game at home.

538
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: So I get your criticism, and I think you could

539
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: point to specific aspects in the season last year where

540
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: you can argue that predictability happened. Because even Joe Brady

541
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: after the Houston game, set himself, I should have committed

542
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: more to protection sooner in that football game against Houston,

543
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: and you know he called it.

544
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: He pointed at himself and put that on him. So

545
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: I think we could go across the league.

546
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: No coordinator is perfect, and you can point to those instances,

547
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: but it's very hard for me to say the problem

548
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: this past season was the offense when you were fourth

549
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: in total offense, fifth in total yards per play, first

550
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: in rushing, second in yards per carry, fifteenth in passing

551
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: yards per game, eighth in passing average, fourth and first

552
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: downs per game, fourth and third down conversion rate. Top

553
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: I think they were third in red zone touchdown efficiency

554
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: and fourth in points.

555
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 3: You're almost top five across the board.

556
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: And they're doing it with a roster that even Bills

557
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 4: fans are are quick to insult. Right, That's been the

558
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 4: whole narrative because with this firing of Sean McDermott and

559
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 4: Brandon Bean, No, but they don't have any players. Nobody's

560
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: getting it. And this is they're doing it with that.

561
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: And this isn't me being an apologist for Joe Brady

562
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: or the higher today. I'm just giving you facts, statistical

563
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: facts as they are in black and white on paper.

564
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you want to draw whatever conclusions you want.

565
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: I don't think the offense was the biggest problem for

566
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: this team this season.

567
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: Let's go to Al in Clarence. What's up, Al?

568
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 18: Hey, guys? How you doing toody? Quite frankly, guys, this

569
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 18: franchise and so owner have been getting roasted since the

570
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 18: debacle of the press counts conference we had last week.

571
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 18: I've enjoyed the past nine years, I really have. I

572
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 18: think Sean did a great job, except for the auspicious

573
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 18: way it started by trading away Patrick Mahomes. And let's

574
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 18: be clear, that's exactly what he did, you know. But

575
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 18: I've appreciated it because they sat out there through the

576
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 18: two and fourteen seasons and the replacement players when they

577
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 18: had the replacement players. But you know what a time

578
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 18: for a public relations meltdown here, Your new stadium's about

579
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 18: to open. Your other franchise is trying to end a

580
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 18: record in futility for a playoff drought for one of

581
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 18: the four other major sports, and that sound Terry's resume. Also,

582
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 18: people can say whatever they want, Let's be clear, he's

583
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 18: made a lot of money off this franchise and in

584
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 18: this town. We you know, all those PSLs are sold out,

585
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 18: you know, and he got a lot of money from

586
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 18: the state to build that stadium. And trust me, I mean,

587
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 18: he's making you know, a ton of money here and

588
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 18: people are saying, you know, he did this and that,

589
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 18: and he should have just not came out for the

590
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 18: news conference and let being handled it. A lot of

591
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 18: people are still under the impression goron person got fired.

592
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 18: And if he keeps on drafting the same I can't

593
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 18: Kyerie Elam and multiple other guys he's missed on. This

594
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 18: guy's going to be in the same position as McDermott was.

595
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 18: He's got no depth and that and that was Shawn's fault. No,

596
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 18: I mean, you guys lost the game by in overtime

597
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 18: by three points. That if your quarterback had half a

598
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 18: decent day that he normally plays, that we would have

599
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 18: won that game. So I think it was an overreaction,

600
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 18: and now it just keeps on getting worse and worse

601
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 18: and inspiring. I wish him, you know, it's our team.

602
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 18: I wish him the best, you know, I want to

603
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 18: see success. But it just doesn't appear that that's the

604
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 18: way we're rolling. It's not the direction his franchise is

605
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 18: going in and have a public relations nightmare like this.

606
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 18: I mean, and I know you guys are limited what

607
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 18: you can say. Obviously, the last time Perry's employees said

608
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 18: what they wanted, Revee and Peters ended up doing about podcasts.

609
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 18: So I don't want to see you guys end up

610
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 18: there you know, it is what it is. I mean,

611
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 18: I shouldn't luck, but you know, like most people feel

612
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 18: like we should have swung for the fences. If you're

613
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 18: gonna clean house, clean house, I mean, I don't know.

614
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 18: I hope this was Josh's call, and I hope we

615
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 18: hear from Josh and to say that he had a

616
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 18: ton of input for you know, so you know who

617
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 18: knows because damn, Darnold and Drake may are playing in

618
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 18: the Super Bowl this weekend.

619
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,479
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, thanks, Al, appreciate the Paul, And I guess

620
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: we will find out because I think it's been communicated

621
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: that Josh who did intend to speak a few days

622
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: after the season ended, then the firing of Sean McDermott happens,

623
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: and I think that got pushed back and probably won't

624
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: happen until after the new head coach, Joe Brady, is

625
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: introduced to the media, and then maybe Josh will talk

626
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: after that at some point, as is usually required at

627
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: the end of the season for the quarterback to do

628
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: so for media obligations. So we'll wait and see when

629
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 2: that happens, and maybe at that point in time he

630
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 2: can explain what his role was in the hiring process,

631
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: because as we know, Brandon being and Terry Pagoula did

632
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: list him as one of the people that was going

633
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: to be in the room for any and all interviews,

634
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 2: and we'll get some light maybe shed on how much

635
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: influence he had in this decision, but until then, yeah,

636
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 2: we don't know for certain. I mean we were talking

637
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 2: just yesterday. How can you have a head coaching candidate

638
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: answer frankly about their thoughts on Josh Allen and what

639
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: their plans would be with him if he's in the room,

640
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: because presumably that candidate would couch his comments so as

641
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 2: not to upset Josh and you know, and keep his

642
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: status as a viable candidate for the job in play.

643
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 2: So what happens there? Do they ask Josh to step

644
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 2: out of the room for five minutes?

645
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 3: We don't know.

646
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: So it's very we're very curious to see how all

647
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: of that was handled in the nine interviews that they conducted.

648
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 3: Let's go to bridget on a sale. Let's up bridge It.

649
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 19: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call. Bills have been

650
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 19: my team for over fifty years and that will never change.

651
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 19: More than ever before.

652
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 9: I've spent the last.

653
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 19: Social media podcasts I keep hearing that we need a

654
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 19: head coach that can elevate Josh, how do you guys

655
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 19: feel about that idea, knowing Brady's had two years already

656
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 19: to make that happen.

657
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 12: I'm going to hang up and listen.

658
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 9: Thanks.

659
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a valid question for a little bit more

660
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 4: of what we've been talking about, Josh and this offense

661
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 4: with even with Bill's fence saying that the roster is

662
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 4: incomplete on the offensive side of the ball, has kept

663
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 4: this offense at the highest levels of the game. That

664
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 4: in and of itself speaks to his creativity and his

665
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 4: ability to do it with who he has on the roster.

666
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 4: That's what coaching is. With injuries, with limitations on the roster,

667
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 4: with players that are getting benched, with all of this stuff,

668
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 4: they have stayed offensively at a very high level. And

669
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 4: that's why guys get promoted because they do more with

670
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 4: less well.

671
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 2: And not only that, when Joe Brady was named offensive coordinator,

672
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 2: he helped the team rescue a season that was going wrong,

673
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: going in the wrong direction. They were six and six,

674
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: They win their last five games, win the division because

675
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: they righted the ship on the offensive side of the ball,

676
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 2: and then the following year, he helps Josh Allen have

677
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: the fewest turnovers of his career and win Most Valuable Player.

678
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: So he has been instrumental in elevating Josh's game. Now

679
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: you want to make the argument that Josh regressed from

680
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 2: that this year.

681
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 3: Turned the ball over more, took a ton more sacks.

682
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 3: I'll listen to that. Let's see where twenty twenty six goes.

683
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: And as I.

684
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: Said earlier, let's wait to see what changes happen on

685
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: his coaching staff. If there is seismic change on the

686
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, well that might change the

687
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 2: conversation a little bit that we're having here today. We're

688
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,040

704
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: reading the name on the screen.

705
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 4: Apologize, no problem, Hey, Steve, two questions for you, and

Speaker 4: I can.

708
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 20: You being a player in the NFL in.

709
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, our whole phone board just went out.

710
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: Sorry about that, Paul. Everyone just got erased from the screen.

711
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 4: Pro Paul, I promise it wasn't us. You can ask

712
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 4: me anything you want call back.

713
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll get that rebooted here in short order.

714
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 2: As we were telling you, you know.

715
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 3: The reaction.

716
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: For this first bonus hour of the show, to a

717
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: large degree, I think has been.

718
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 3: Disappointment.

719
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you all have your opinions, and we understand why.

720
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: I think based on.

721
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 2: The comments we heard last week in the press conference

722
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: that they felt change was necessary, that the team had

723
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: hit a proverbial playoff wall. I think hearing that led

724
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: the fan base to a large degree to believe that.

725
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 3: Significant change was coming. And then to see this hiring

726
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: doesn't seem like me.

727
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 2: I think to them sounds counterintuitive. It doesn't seem like

728
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: signific captured that. Yeah, it doesn't seem like significant change.

729
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 2: I was thinking this too, and I hadn't really put

730
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: myself on the other side of this. What would say,

731
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 2: for instance, if Joe Brady had been with a different

732
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: team and had the exact same seasons over the last

733
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: couple of years that Joe Brady has had here in Buffalo,

734
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: but if he came from another team and brought with

735
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: him the credential and resume that he's bringing with him

736
00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: to this job, what Bills fans would think. It's a

737
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: hard question to answer, because, as you said, the facts

738
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: are that this offense has.

739
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 4: Been really, really good with Joe Brady. In fact, he

740
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 4: drug it out of a six and six start in

741
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three and turned it into six the stretch

742
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 4: with six and one down the stretch, then turned it

743
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 4: into the number one offense, number one scoring offense in

744
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 4: the league, and then it was leading rushing offense in

745
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 4: the league, so he's done it in different ways. So

746
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 4: he you know, he's bringing to the table that and

747
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 4: if he was bringing that from another team, would he

748
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 4: be perceived as being different than he is now, coming

749
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 4: you know, from within? Maybe, But I think coming from

750
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 4: another team with the number one player in the league

751
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 4: on that roster may take a little bit of the

752
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 4: shine off of that resume. But the resume is what

753
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 4: it is, particularly since it was a rushing offense. It

754
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 4: was so good this last year, number one offense in

755
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 4: the league, and he did it differently than he did

756
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three when he took over in twenty

757
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 4: twenty four when they led the league in scoring, but

758
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 4: yet we're really good this year as well. What about

759
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 4: does that if he was coming with this resume from

760
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 4: a different team, would that change it for you? And

761
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 4: I think it probably would for a lot of people

762
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 4: if they if they're true to their heart, But he's not.

763
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 4: He's coming from within, and that changes things for people.

764
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 2: So the other teams, just so everybody is reminded of this.

765
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: He did interview with four or five other NFL clubs,

766
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals, the Atlanta Falcons, the Baltimore Ravens, the

767
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders, and the Miami Dolphins. He interviewed with

768
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 2: five other teams. I believe two of those teams he

769
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 2: had a second interview with the Ravens and the Raiders.

770
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying that validates him anymore as a

771
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 2: head coaching candidate, but I think his resume spoke enough

772
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: where it got him interviews with half of the head

773
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: coaching openings.

774
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: There were ten head coaching openings.

775
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 2: He got interviews with five other teams and the Bills,

776
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: so six of the ten coaching openings wanted to interview

777
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 2: Joe Brady.

778
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 3: Again, I'm just stating a fact. You want to hammer

779
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: me on that, go ahead, but I'm just stating the

780
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 3: facts as they are.

781
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 6: Yeah.

782
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones, though, and we go

783
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 2: to Harold in Rochester.

784
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 3: What's up, Harold?

785
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, I am wondering if you know, keeping a

786
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 10: coach it's already on staff, like Joe Brady, how that

787
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 10: helps with our free agents, our players on the team

788
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 10: that are free agents, I mean Connor McGovern, Brandon Cooks,

789
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 10: Reggie Gilliam on the offensive side, Ewards White, I mean, yeah,

790
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 10: David Edwards, Yeah, Like, what do you guys think that

791
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 10: that would that make a difference to have a coach

792
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 10: that they already know to maybe coming back to the

793
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 10: team for next year.

794
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Harold, I don't think there's a pat answer for that.

795
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 4: It'll be different for every guy. Every guy will have

796
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 4: a different feeling about where they stand with the old

797
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 4: head coach and this new guy. They'll have a different

798
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 4: relationship with Joe than the other guys. I think there's

799
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 4: no answer that is a blanket answer for all of

800
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 4: those guys. Each one will be different.

801
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,479
Speaker 2: Plus, you know there will be a new offensive line coach.

802
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 2: Maybe it's assistant offensive line coach Austin Gunn that gets

803
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 2: promoted internally. But knowing there's the prospect of a potential

804
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 2: new offensive line coach could change the dynamics for a

805
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: Connor mcgovernor a David Edwards who are headed to free agency.

806
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of variables I think still in

807
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: play here where you can't just unilaterally say this is

808
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: the head coach, this is my decision.

809
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 3: It's multi layered. Let's go to Chad down in Houston next.

810
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 3: What's up Chad?

811
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 21: Hey, you know I just kind of want to run

812
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 21: through these candidates real quick right stable failed and Rumo

813
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 21: witness pretention program. Don't know where that guy's been, Anthony

814
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 21: Lynn retread failed, Anthony Weaver. We run over that guy

815
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 21: for the last five years. Web thirty. You can run

816
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 21: a quarterback room, I don't know if you can run

817
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 21: a franchise. Dinsky one year under a great offensive mind.

818
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 21: What would he do on his own? Sheila House have

819
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 21: no idea? And then finally a high school football coach

820
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 21: in Rivers. So you know the statue guys gave our proof.

821
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 21: You know, not one of these guys could probably say

822
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,959
Speaker 21: the same with what Brady walked into with that room

823
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 21: with you know, we're not a two and fifteen franchise.

824
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 21: The last nine years we've had success. There's something to

825
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 21: say with continuity. Tom Brady will tell you that. New

826
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 21: England will tell you that, right. I think everyone needs

827
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 21: to calm down, right. If the change these happens, it

828
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,919
Speaker 21: needs to be on that defensive side of the ball.

829
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 21: Thirty points allowed a playoff game, it ain't gonna happen. So, guys,

830
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 21: you couldn't pay me enough to listen to half of

831
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 21: these folks calling in and Stevie Blong in the Hall

832
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 21: of Fame.

833
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 3: So I got to say, thanks, Jed, appreciate it.

834
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 4: Thanks.

835
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

836
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 4: The guys they brought in to speak to, some of

837
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 4: whom had connections, you know, with with the organization day Ball,

838
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 4: and of course Brady and Anthony Lynn, Davis Webb, Davis Webb,

839
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 4: Anthony Weaver who coached he Anthony Weaver was here as

840
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 4: a D line coach. So that there is all of that.

841
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 4: And here's the thing. If you don't like the Joe

842
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 4: Brady higher and apparently there's some of you who don't,

843
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 4: who digital who do you like better that you know

844
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 4: that you know more about well.

845
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: And that's the whole other element of this, because I

846
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: think if there is one thing that you can bank

847
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 2: on in the NFL a majority of the time, not

848
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 2: all the time, but a majority of the time, is

849
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: when decisions of this magnitude need to be made, a

850
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 2: majority of the time, people go with what they know.

851
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 3: We've seen it.

852
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: We've seen it here with previous bills coaching hires with

853
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 2: varying degrees of success. But Bill Pollian knew Marv Levy

854
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 2: from their days together with the Chicago Blitz in the USFL,

855
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 2: and you can come up with a countless number of examples.

856
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that validates this hiring. All I'm saying

857
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 2: is a majority of the time in this league, with

858
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: decisions of this magnitude, a lot of times the decision

859
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 2: makers go with what they know. And I think that

860
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: at least is part of why this decision was made.

861
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 2: Here today, gotta take a break more of your phone

862
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 2: calls in hour number two of a three hour edition

863
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 2: of One Bill's Live. Here on a Tuesday, as Joe

864
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 2: Brady is going to be the next head coach of

865
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 2: your Buffalo Bills. If you're holding an eight H three

866
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: H five fifty, stay where you are. We'll get to

867
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: you when we return here on One Bill's Live.

868
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: This One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

869
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 2: All right back here on One Bill's Live, hour number

870
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 2: two in a bonus three hour edition of One Bills Live.

871
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 4: In the wake of today's.

872
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 3: News that Joe Brady is the new head coach of

873
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills.

874
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: And I told you. Since Brady took over in midway

875
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 2: through twenty twenty three, in the playoffs the last three seasons,

876
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 2: the Bills have averaged twenty eight point four points per game,

877
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 2: that ranked seventh in the league over that span. Teams

878
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: that were better Seattle, who was not even in the

879
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 2: playoffs last year, but they were at thirty six, Dallas

880
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 2: at thirty two, Carolina at thirty one, but they only

881
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 2: played one playoff game, Washington at thirty, Detroit at twenty nine,

882
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: Philadelphia at twenty eight point eight. So I'll have to

883
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 2: check to see how many total games those teams had,

884
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 2: because I would imagine most of those teams above Buffalo

885
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 2: have had fewer playoff.

886
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 3: Games in that span.

887
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 2: Knowing Buffalo has won at least one playoff game each

888
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 2: of the last three years, they've done in each the

889
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 2: last six years. But let's get back to the phones

890
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: at eight oh three, oh five point fifty one, eighty eight,

891
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 2: five point fifty two, five point fifty and we go

892
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 2: to Adam in New Jersey.

893
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 3: What's up, Adam?

894
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, how are you good hanging in there?

895
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 22: You know, Steve, I know that you're so proud of

896
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 22: the fact that we scored so many points of Carolina,

897
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 22: but we were the only team in the NFL that

898
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 22: got shut out twice in first half of games against

899
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 22: Miami and the Eagles, and we also scored only three

900
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 22: points against the first in the first half of the

901
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 22: first game of New England, and only seven points versus

902
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 22: Atlanta in the first half. So every time this offense

903
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 22: comes out unprepared and disorganiz and you want to pound

904
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 22: your chest over a game against the Panthers, come on.

905
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 3: Man, well every game is a little strong.

906
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, every I'll say this, every time the offense comes

907
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 4: out unprepared, the defense certainly is not winning it.

908
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 3: Okay, but how about the Panthers were a playoff team.

909
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 4: And I'll say this to your right in one thing,

910
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 4: to Chad, I mean they played the Panthers. I'm sorry,

911
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 4: what it's Adam, Adam, I'm sorry, Adam. You're right, Adam.

912
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 13: Uh.

913
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 4: The thing about the Panther they played against Andy Dalton.

914
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 4: There's a backup, so there there's that as well. But

915
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 4: to me, there's no excuse for anybody coming out flat

916
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 4: against the Miami Dolphins. And yeah, and to me, you

917
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 4: may you may have a different opinion, but to me,

918
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 4: it wasn't the offense alone that came out flat in

919
00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,959
Speaker 4: those games that you mentioned. So, yeah, you have a point.

920
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 4: There's no question about it. There. The offense hasn't been

921
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 4: stellar every single snap of the season, and they've had

922
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 4: some games where they you they couldn't get on track,

923
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 4: slow starts, and and when that was the case, they lose. Yeah,

924
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 4: they're not They're not winning too many games six to

925
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 4: three on a defensive effort, yeah, or ten to seven.

926
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 4: So you were right, Adam. Uh, when this offense doesn't

927
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 4: show up, you can tell because the entire team looks bad,

928
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 4: not just that side of the ball. Uh, that would

929
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 4: be my my counterpoint to that, But you're right. Uh,

930
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 4: there are times when Joe Brady has shown up with

931
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 4: this offense and they have stunk. They've stunk on in

932
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 4: game at least for a while, right, And that's yeah,

933
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 4: So you're you're entitled of that. I'm having said that

934
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 4: all those other teams that you mentioned, none of them

935
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 4: were number you know, number one in scoring, number one

936
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 4: in rushing, or number.

937
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 3: Three scoring or foreign scoring.

938
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, this offense, even with games like that,

939
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 4: we're ringing people up. So if you didn't like the

940
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 4: offense and you're bummed that they hired this guy's this coordinator,

941
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 4: how bad would you be if they hired Bob Babbage?

942
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 4: Then that's you know that? Yeah, I get it's a

943
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 4: lot of people are disgusted that they're disappointed with this

944
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 4: hire because they wanted the new, shiny thing, the guy

945
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 4: that they don't know anything about. But let me say this,

946
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 4: if you're an offensive coordinator in the NFL, I'll say it.

947
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 4: I said it earlier in the show. Those guys get

948
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 4: criticized more than head coaches. They really do. Because people

949
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 4: love offense. They love to score points, and when they don't,

950
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator is the reason.

951
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 2: And they feel they can judge what's right and wrong

952
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 2: with an offense because the guy dropped the ball or

953
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: the guy fumbled, you know, all that stuff.

954
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 4: So I get it, Adam, you're you know, and I'll

955
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 4: agree with some of what you said. No question.

956
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:05,919
Speaker 3: Let's go to Gary in Buffalo next.

957
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 23: What's up, Gary, figure, Thanks for taking my call.

958
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 24: I actually like the hire, to be honest, I like

959
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 24: most people here because you have to think, right, they've

960
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 24: they've been having success and why, you know, try to

961
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 24: risk changing something up of bringing somebody new one that

962
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 24: might not work. And with Josh being on these interviews, right,

963
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 24: maybe there was a thought like, hey, let's just keep

964
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 24: kind of the same structure sort of thing because there's

965
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 24: a culture here that's been built. Keep it internally. We've

966
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 24: been having success. Let's see how we can continue to

967
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 24: build sort of build on that, because what I'm really

968
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 24: thinking is the pressure is on being again to kind

969
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 24: of bring that help in, right, because if you look

970
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 24: at the past draft class he's had, which ones have

971
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 24: been good? Maybe two maybe three draft classes. So my

972
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 24: question to you guys is how long does Josh kind

973
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 24: of stick around and say, hey, being my team, give

974
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 24: me some help to get over this hump until he says,

975
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 24: you know, I'm done with this and moves out west

976
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 24: when Stafford retires and goes win the Super Bowl with

977
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 24: the Rams. Right, Because not only is he a great

978
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 24: football player, he's a great locker room guy. Right, It's

979
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 24: great character. So just wondering how long does Josh stake

980
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 24: patient with this?

981
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's hard to project here, Gary, this

982
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 2: guy just got hired today. He's been the coordinator for

983
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 2: two and a third seasons. Now he's the head coach.

984
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 2: We don't know what that's going to look like with

985
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 2: him in the head coaching role and how much changes.

986
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 2: So to get to get to the place where you're

987
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 2: asking us to get, I think is premature.

988
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to cop out.

989
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 4: Josh was a.

990
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 2: Part of this process for a reason, to make sure

991
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 2: that he was on board with the decision that was made,

992
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 2: to avoid the very circumstance you're outlining two, three, four,

993
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 2: or five years down the road, whenever, whatever point in

994
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 2: the future you want to pick. That's a that's a

995
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,959
Speaker 2: huge reason why he was part of this process. Yeah,

996
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 2: so he doesn't become hears enchanted.

997
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 4: I've heard people grumble about or fret, I guess the

998
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 4: better word about Josh getting impatient, wanting to leave. He's

999
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 4: gonna go here, He's gonna go there. You're right, a

1000
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 4: quarterback can could do that. But in the situations I've

1001
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 4: seen that happen in other places, it's because the quarterback

1002
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 4: had no voice. Matt Stafford in Detroit, Carson Palmer in Cincinnati,

1003
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 4: you can name another, uh, Kurt Warner in La or

1004
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 4: in San Francisco or San Francis, Saint Louis. Those guys

1005
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 4: were not involved in any of the process and they

1006
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 4: didn't have they feel like they could effect or the

1007
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 4: outcome as much as Josh is being allowed to do here.

1008
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 4: I think when if I don't think Josh is the

1009
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 4: kind of from what I know about him, and I

1010
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 4: don't know that much about him, you know, I'm we're

1011
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 4: obviously well acquainted. He does not strike me as that guy.

1012
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 4: I think he strikes me as more of a guy

1013
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,879
Speaker 4: that with the voice that they're giving him, he will

1014
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 4: help them to make it work here time and time again,

1015
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 4: and he won't get They won't let it get to

1016
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 4: a point where he's fed up with the process because

1017
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 4: he's had such an effect on it. That's the reason

1018
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 4: you let him have the voice is because if it

1019
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 4: does go bad or doesn't go bad, you can all

1020
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 4: agree on why it did and improve upon it, and

1021
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,760
Speaker 4: he'll be a part of that as well. So until

1022
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 4: it gets to the point where he can't throw a football,

1023
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 4: I don't think you have to worry about him going

1024
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 4: anywhere voluntarily or because he's asking for it. I just

1025
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 4: don't think that's the kind of guy he is or

1026
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 4: and that's not the kind of environment that it is

1027
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 4: here in this building. That to be my and my observation.

1028
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 4: So I've heard that before, how these national broadcasters are saying, Ah,

1029
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 4: Josh might just get impatient. Just yeah, I don't that's

1030
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 4: I think to me, that's ridiculous even after ten years

1031
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 4: of this.

1032
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 3: Let's go to Mary in Lockport next. What's up Mary?

1033
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 9: Hi, welcome guys. Just I'm gonna start positive. I think

1034
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 9: with Brady being in the locker room, he seemed how

1035
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 9: Sean acted in how he brought the team together, So

1036
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 9: I'm hoping that continues because I don't want to break

1037
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 9: that up. I still don't think he should have been fired,

1038
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 9: and I think the wrong guy was fired. But it's

1039
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 9: over and done with. So now we got Brady. I

1040
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 9: wish he had a different last name. I just can't

1041
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 9: stand Brady and change his name. My concern. I've been

1042
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 9: I'm retired now, been watching the Bills since sixty three

1043
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 9: sixty four, so I'm a old timer. I also in

1044
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 9: my career, I was a supervisor, second and third command.

1045
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 9: You never never let anyone who's on that level as

1046
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 9: being a player help pick a coach. You might ask

1047
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 9: them as their advice, and you might ask them to

1048
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 9: call in. As soon as mister Bogoula said, oh we're

1049
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 9: going to have him in the interviews, I thought, if

1050
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 9: things go bad, that locker room's going to go bad,

1051
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 9: that we put the cape on him. He doesn't need

1052
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 9: this responsibility. He's a player unless he wants to be

1053
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 9: a general manager in the future, and he wanted to

1054
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 9: see how this goes as a practice. But I think

1055
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 9: we put you know, he's he's our MVP. We put

1056
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 9: too much pressure on him to start with. He might

1057
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 9: have wanted it and put that home pressure on himself,

1058
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 9: but being a supervisor, yeah, you know when you get

1059
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 9: a reference and you find out that they named staff

1060
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 9: member as an excellent old code worker or an old friend.

1061
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 9: I went to school with them. Whatever the story is,

1062
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 9: you can answer their opinion. You don't have them in

1063
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 9: an interview. I did listen to you the other day

1064
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 9: when you're saying you don't really know what he's doing.

1065
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 9: They might be talking about him and they're asking him

1066
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 9: to leave. I don't think it should have been announced

1067
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 9: that he was even helping. The poor man's got a

1068
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 9: cape on. He cried, and what did he cry about?

1069
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 9: That he'd let down his players. He never said he

1070
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 9: looked down the coaches, let down the players. And he's

1071
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 9: going to be in that room with the players. So

1072
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 9: if things don't go well, they're all going to be

1073
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 9: looking at him. So I think they should have gone

1074
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 9: with a different angle, and you never, you know, like

1075
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 9: we don't know what happens, but it sounds like he

1076
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 9: flew to Florida, he was here, he was there. I

1077
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 9: think he wants to be involved, and I think most

1078
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 9: every quarterback, they're the leaders of the team in the offense,

1079
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 9: they want to be involved, but they're also there with

1080
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 9: how many other players in that room.

1081
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 3: Understood, Mary, Thanks for the call. We got a lot

1082
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:57,479
Speaker 3: of people.

1083
00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 4: Yeah. I have a hard time getting my mind around

1084
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 4: the players in the locker room turning on Josh because

1085
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 4: Josh helped pick the guy, unless the guy turns out

1086
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 4: to be a jeckel and Hyde and he's completely different

1087
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 4: as a head coach, and he is like, wait a minute,

1088
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 4: what's going on? Yeah, no, I don't. Nobody's gonna hold it.

1089
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 4: Nobody in the locker room is gonna hold it against

1090
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 4: Josh for the bills hiring Joe Brady at all, unless

1091
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,919
Speaker 4: you know, obviously everybody will be mad if it goes

1092
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 4: up in flames and he turns into you know, obviously,

1093
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 4: you know, turns into something he's never been. So I

1094
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 4: don't think anticipate that happening. I get your management style

1095
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 4: and you're right, they're in a In some in settings

1096
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 4: like that, having the wrong guy included in the process

1097
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 4: can be a problem. I don't think this is one

1098
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 4: of those issues. Everybody's different. I think Josh Josh has

1099
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 4: earned the right to be in there, simple and simple

1100
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 4: as that, and I think it solves a lot of

1101
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 4: issues that are obviously going to come up after this.

1102
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 4: The problem with most businesses is that they are not

1103
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 4: They don't make decisions publicly like pro sports teams do,

1104
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 4: and a lot of issues are avoided because of things

1105
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 4: like this. Either there, you can't sweep anything under the rug. Yeah,

1106
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 4: so you've got very transparent. You gotta be transparent. You

1107
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 4: got to know that you're gonna get asked. And the

1108
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 4: reason that some of the things were addressed in the

1109
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 4: press cons because they got asked point blank. So you

1110
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 4: got to answer the question.

1111
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 3: Let's go to Butcher on the east side. What's up, Butch?

1112
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 5: My brother's from another beautiful mother. I love MSG, I

1113
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 5: love WG. I to all these fans listening to watch

1114
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 5: the show, I love each and every morning. Let me

1115
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 5: get right to it. The first question was are you serious?

1116
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 5: That's the title of all this. Are you serious. The

1117
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 5: reason why I say that is, and this is very important,

1118
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:07,919
Speaker 5: I want a coach who's a leader of men off

1119
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 5: the field on the field, mister bagool who I love

1120
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 5: Derby when he took over this position, I'm not going

1121
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 5: to be long with, gonna be quick.

1122
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 3: He had Sean.

1123
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 5: Mcdermody, had Anthony Lynn. Those are the finalists. He took

1124
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 5: Sean McDermot for nine years. I know lots of times

1125
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 5: inside his brain he had this work what if what

1126
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 5: if I would have took the other guy? Not only that,

1127
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 5: on that level, they came up with this thing called

1128
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,919
Speaker 5: a Rooney rule, and they came up to this rule

1129
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,919
Speaker 5: where you interview two minority courts with one minor court

1130
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 5: before you make your hire. But at the same time,

1131
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 5: it's not about the black and white things. It's about qualifications,

1132
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 5: a qualified at a coach. Anthony Lynn had the best

1133
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 5: resume with exception of Mike McCarthy, out of all of

1134
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 5: these people, he would have been the perfect thing as

1135
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 5: a leader. Now this say, as a leader, you come

1136
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 5: up with Sean McDermot for nine years and you'd had

1137
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 5: Anthony Lynn, rex Ryant even every time Rex Ryan got

1138
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 5: a hire show where his first person he brought was

1139
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 5: Anthony Lynn. His father, mister Ryan, told him how to

1140
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 5: pick qualified people. That's unfortunate. Now at the same time, now,

1141
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 5: don't disrespect to my guy, Josh Allen. I'm not keeople

1142
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 5: throwing them under the bus and put too much pressure.

1143
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna do it. I'm put him on the shelf.

1144
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 5: But I'm seeing right now, we went ahead and got

1145
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 5: a guy that we brought in house, which is nothing

1146
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 5: wrong with that either. But at the same time you

1147
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 5: went through this process, Joe Brady was the first person

1148
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 5: that was interviewed, and at the same time, you what

1149
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 5: did you want to surrounding with? This is why Brownie

1150
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 5: and Steve I can curb what you guys said in

1151
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 5: a twelve o'clock hour. Let's wait and see out what

1152
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 5: the staff look like. Now I'm gonna say this and

1153
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be going and thanks for taking my calls

1154
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 5: Old John on what did Josh Allen do? This is

1155
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 5: what Josh Allen did. I want the whole world to know.

1156
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 5: Josh Allen, not only like Joe Bray, didn't wrong with that.

1157
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 5: He saved a lot of jobs on his football team.

1158
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 5: What he did was a lot of these players are

1159
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 5: under new leadership might now would have been on our squad.

1160
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 5: But what Josh did to sign off on that, along

1161
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 5: with loving the selection, he saved a lot of jobs.

1162
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 5: But anyway, we're gonna wait, We're gonna wag this out,

1163
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 5: see what it is. But don't tell me nothing about qualifications,

1164
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 5: because Anthony Lynn had the best qualification to be the

1165
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 5: hand he do his job, and forget the wound he rule.

1166
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 5: Now I need to throw that rule out the wake

1167
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 5: of it's fake ten coach of positions open now one

1168
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 5: minority has been hired and I'm sick of that that crap.

1169
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 5: So anyway, I love you guys, thanks for taking my call,

1170
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 5: and God bless everybody.

1171
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 3: All right, thanks buds.

1172
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 2: Look, I don't think Josh's main impetus for weighing in

1173
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 2: on a head coaching hire deals with saving jobs. This

1174
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 2: guy has had a singular goal since he got to

1175
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 2: the NFL, and that's to win a Super Bowl. That,

1176
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 2: in my mind, knowing Josh, the way we do is

1177
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 2: priority number one. Everything else is a distant second. If

1178
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 2: anyone believes that Josh is not rolling through his head,

1179
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 2: who gives our team the best chance to win a

1180
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I don't think you know Josh Allen, That's

1181
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 2: all I can say. And again, we don't know what

1182
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 2: his exact role was as a member of the coaching

1183
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 2: Search committee, and we probably never will. Maybe there's a

1184
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 2: little light shed on it at a press conference or

1185
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 2: at Josh's press conference or what have you, But I

1186
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 2: think that's largely going to stay internal. And all we

1187
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 2: can say definitively is he had a role of some

1188
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 2: kind to what degree, We'll never know.

1189
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 4: And I think it's important too, And Butch brought it

1190
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 4: up again, Brownie. I started out the show with it.

1191
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 4: I want to know who's going to be on this

1192
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 4: coaching stat Yeah, let's se are there going to be

1193
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 4: any retentions? And who's not going to be retained? Uh,

1194
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 4: that will be huge. Who's gonna be the offensive coordinator?

1195
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 4: And whether he calls plays or not? Who's it going

1196
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 4: to be, who's going to be the quarterbacks coach? And

1197
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 4: I'm it's been reported now I think by Albert Breer

1198
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 4: that one of the big aspects about the interview process

1199
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 4: for all the candidates was the role of head coach

1200
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 4: as a CEO, meaning a head coach as a head

1201
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 4: coach he's not a play he's not a coordinator. He's

1202
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 4: not a glorified coordinator. He's a CEO. He's got a

1203
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 4: program to run. That's the head coach. They asked that

1204
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 4: about all these candidates, and that was a huge part

1205
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 4: of the process, and apparently Joe Brady nailed it, nailed it.

1206
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 4: So who this staff is gonna be, who this this

1207
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 4: CEO and board of directors, meaning the staff is going

1208
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 4: to be, is going to be enormous. I want to

1209
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 4: I want to hear it because certainly, if he nailed it,

1210
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 4: that's got to be part of you know, that's got

1211
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 4: to be part of the process. I want to hear

1212
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 4: that's got to be part of what he nailed that

1213
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 4: He's got some guys on his list that were impressive.

1214
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,479
Speaker 2: And if that report is accurate and he does plan

1215
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 2: to act in a CEO role, that means somebody else

1216
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 2: is probably calling offensive plays. Whether it's Ronald Right, whether

1217
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 2: it's Ronald Curry who gets promoted from within, or it's

1218
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 2: a new OC completely that has familiarity with this system

1219
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 2: and what it means for the defense. We'll have to

1220
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 2: wait and see, because I think there are some of

1221
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 2: the belief that with Joe Brady being hired, this signifies

1222
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 2: that the brass felt the change had to come on

1223
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. So what does that

1224
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 2: mean for the existing defensive staff?

1225
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 3: Right, we'll have to wait and see. Let's squeeze Matt

1226
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 3: and Albany in here before the break.

1227
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 25: What's up, Matt, hey, fellas, how you doing today?

1228
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 3: Good?

1229
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:52,439
Speaker 4: Good?

1230
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 25: There's going to be a documentary in a couple of

1231
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 25: years that comes out and is entitled how to Lose

1232
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 25: a fan Base in ten Days? Starting with that dumpster

1233
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 25: fire of a press conference where you have the owner

1234
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 25: in the GM deflecting all the blame on the coaching

1235
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 25: staff taking zero accountability, saying he walked in the locker

1236
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 25: room and he fired McDermott because of how it felt

1237
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 25: after coming up short again.

1238
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 10: But then you promote.

1239
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 25: Someone who was in the locker room with him, Are

1240
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 25: you kidding me?

1241
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 12: Like?

1242
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 14: I wonder if Joe Brady was the.

1243
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 25: Only coach who was insane enough to take the job

1244
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,879
Speaker 25: after how toxic that front office wasn't that press conference?

1245
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 3: And you know, I.

1246
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 25: Agree with you guys, the offense still produced Ruth Hunter

1247
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 25: back way back when that phone call very predictable. If

1248
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 25: I see another bubble screen, I'm gonna lose my mind.

1249
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 25: But whatever, it seems like Pegoula only promotes from within.

1250
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 25: Dable left. Let's promote QB coach Ken Dorsey he leaves.

1251
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 25: Let's promote QB coach Joe Brady. Need a new DC,

1252
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 25: Let's promote Bobby Babbage. We need some depth on defense.

1253
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 25: Let's call up old Jordan Phillips or Shaqlaston or Jordan

1254
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 25: Poyer to help shure up that defense. It's the same

1255
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 25: thing every time. He just takes what's familiar to him

1256
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 25: to in house and moves them up the ranks, and

1257
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 25: the same outcome happens every single time. It's the definition

1258
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 25: of insanity that we all know. The outcome never changes.

1259
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 25: We get into the playoffs, we have a good first game,

1260
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 25: and then the defense falls apart. We give up thirty

1261
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 25: something points and we're in the same spot, sitting on

1262
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 25: our couch watching another Super Bowl that doesn't involve the Bills.

1263
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,600
Speaker 25: They need to make a home run higher for a

1264
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 25: defensive coordinator and being need to do his job and

1265
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 25: get some players to actually play the game. It's insane.

1266
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 25: It's so frustrating to watch I'd like to hear Jets

1267
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 25: think about that. Shout out my god son, Dawson. He's

1268
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 25: finally getting to the age to watch Bills games, and

1269
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 25: I really hope he has something to cheer for in

1270
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 25: the next few years. With Joe Brady as coach. I'm hopeful.

1271
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 25: I'm always gonna love the Bills, but it's so frustrating.

1272
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,640
Speaker 3: Okay man, all right, thanks for the call. There was

1273
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 3: a lot in there.

1274
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 2: Look, I'll I mean you, you have an issue with

1275
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 2: the higher because it doesn't represent enough change for you.

1276
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 2: I get that, But I think, as I said earlier,

1277
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 2: what this hire signifies, at least in my mind, is

1278
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 2: that the offense is in a good place. It's productive,

1279
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 2: it's top five caliber in the league and has been

1280
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 2: the last two years. And it signifies to me that

1281
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 2: the changes that had to happen the head coach got fired.

1282
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 2: He's a defensive minded head coach. He was involved in

1283
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 2: the defensive game planning and that's where the changes have

1284
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 2: to be. What those changes are remain to be seen

1285
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 2: and that's it.

1286
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, you're right. And Matt's frustration, I mean, he

1287
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 4: echoes a lot of what frustrates Bills on bills fans

1288
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 4: on days like this, I.

1289
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 3: Will, you know, I'll empathize.

1290
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 4: I'm kind of shrugging my shoulders. I was surprised. After

1291
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 4: I was in or I sat and watched the press

1292
01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 4: conference live last Monday. I was shrugging my shoulders and

1293
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 4: shaking my head. I don't somebody might have told you

1294
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 4: that was a dumpster fire, but that was just too

1295
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 4: That was Terry Pegoula is just being a real person.

1296
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 4: It was not rehearsed, wasn't prepared. He didn't give stock answers,

1297
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 4: and I and the only thing that he said and

1298
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 4: about the coaching staff. Terry said it was about the

1299
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 4: coaching staff, but that was an allusion to how collaborative

1300
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 4: Brandon Bean's job is. There's like twenty voices in the

1301
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 4: room on draft day, and Terry's like, hey, the coaches

1302
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 4: wanted that guy. And it wasn't just Sean. In fact,

1303
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 4: it wasn't Sean McDermott. They clarified later. And the dumpster

1304
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 4: fire of it, I just don't get that line. The

1305
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 4: media attacks it because quite frankly, they were looking for clickbait.

1306
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 4: Terry was just being a real person. He answered the questions.

1307
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 4: It wasn't that hard to get what his meanings were

1308
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 4: and what his points were and people just to tacked

1309
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 4: it because it was easy from a million miles away.

1310
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 4: I was like, seriously, I'm that to me, is is weak.

1311
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 4: Uh So I'm I don't know, I and yeah, all

1312
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 4: your all this stuff about not hiring this isn't a

1313
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 4: big enough change. This is everybody says Brandon Bean. They

1314
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 4: get they gave him no players to play with, and

1315
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 4: yet you got this coordinator who's got his offense leading

1316
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 4: the league in rushing and number four in points scored

1317
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 4: after a year when they were number one in points

1318
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:36,679
Speaker 4: scored with a roster a wide receiver room. You say

1319
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 4: stinks and this guy's still getting it done. Well, yeah,

1320
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 4: hire him. That's a that's a mega simplified version of this,

1321
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 4: but that's what you're talking about. So either either he

1322
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 4: is or he isn't. Either the roster stinks and this

1323
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 4: guy's got his offense operating an elite level with a

1324
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 4: roster that stinks, or it's all because of Josh Right.

1325
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 4: I don't know. There's a lot in this, no question

1326
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 4: about it, And I know people are disappointed because they

1327
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 4: wanted something fresh and new, and different. The more we

1328
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,679
Speaker 4: talk about it, I was surprised when they hired. When

1329
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,600
Speaker 4: this came down about thirty minutes.

1330
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 3: An hour ago.

1331
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, came out a half ago. Yeah, it came on

1332
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 4: thirty minutes before we actually went on the air an

1333
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 4: hour early. Because of this, I was surprised when they

1334
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 4: made this, And the more we talk about it, the

1335
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:34,799
Speaker 4: less the more reason I find not to be surprised

1336
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 4: by it. But like I said, the real question now

1337
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 4: for me, what is this staff gonna look like? And

1338
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 4: when that happened, When that takes shape, then we'll have

1339
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 4: a much better idea of how big the changes will be.

1340
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 3: Got to take a break here.

1341
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll take a break from the

1342
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 2: phone calls because joining us will be NFL on CBS.

1343
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 2: Sideline reporter Evan Washburn covered the AFC title game last week.

1344
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 3: We'll catch you with him.

1345
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 2: We'll get his thoughts on the Joe Brady higher as

1346
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 2: well when we return here on One Bill's Live, presented

1347
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 2: by Colid of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Rady.

1348
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 3: All right back here on One Bill's Live.

1349
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker and happy to welcome in Now

1350
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:16,879
Speaker 2: NFL on CBS sideline reporter Evan.

1351
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 3: Washburn fresh off the AFC.

1352
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 2: Championship game, and that was a difficult one for Bills

1353
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 2: fans to watch, not only because they had lost to

1354
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 2: the Broncos the week before in heartbreaking fashion, but they

1355
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 2: had to also watch the Patriots, their division rival, advance

1356
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 2: to a Super Bowl once again. But Evan, there's bigger

1357
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 2: news here today, obviously, and that's with the hiring of

1358
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 2: Joe Brady or the promotion from within, whichever way you

1359
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 2: want to describe it. What do you believe, because I

1360
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 2: know you've sat in meetings with Joe Brady before getting

1361
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 2: ready for games and such.

1362
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 3: What does the hiring of Joe Brady's signal to you.

1363
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 2: In terms of what the brass felt was needed for

1364
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 2: this team to go further than they have the last

1365
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 2: several years.

1366
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 16: Well, first of all, good to be with you guys.

1367
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 16: I would say the first word that comes to mind

1368
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 16: just a different energy. And that's not to say Sean

1369
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,719
Speaker 16: didn't have energy and didn't have an effective energy. Obviously,

1370
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 16: it worked at a high level for a number of

1371
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 16: years there and got this team to the precipice of

1372
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 16: a Super Bowl a number of times. But I would

1373
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 16: say in my experiences with Joe, he has a different

1374
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,679
Speaker 16: energy to Sean, and obviously some of that is rooted

1375
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 16: in his youth, his side of the ball that he's

1376
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 16: coached on, and just the way he seems to approach

1377
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 16: the jobs. So that will be a different energy for

1378
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 16: that locker room, for that building that you guys are

1379
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 16: so close to. And then beyond that, I think it

1380
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 16: speaks to what they want to get out of Josh

1381
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 16: Allen and to maximize every aspect of not just his game,

1382
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 16: but how they can tailor everything on both sides of

1383
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 16: the ball to allow him to continue to take this

1384
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 16: team to new heights. And maybe, I would say, most importantly,

1385
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 16: try and take some things off of his shoulders so

1386
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 16: they can have a longer run with them.

1387
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and one of the things we're thinking about is

1388
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 4: the completion of the staff. How many guys will be retained,

1389
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 4: how many won't. Certainly Brady has a working relationship with

1390
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 4: everybody in the building. How that affects his ability to

1391
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 4: choose the staff and bring guys in offensive. Coordinator all

1392
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:30,800
Speaker 4: of a sudden gets a spotlight on it.

1393
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 16: My thoughts, Actually, my coordinator who's filling out that side

1394
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 16: of the ball. I mean, I imagine Joe's going to still

1395
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 16: call plays, so he'll be down on the field, and

1396
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 16: then yes, he'll hire support staff or promote support staff

1397
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 16: on the offensive side of the ball in terms of

1398
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 16: a coordinator position in the game plan work that's done

1399
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 16: during the week when a head coach pulled away. But

1400
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 16: I want to know who's building out this defense the personnel.

1401
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 16: You guys can probably speak to it better than I can,

1402
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 16: knowing the contractual situations, but is not being overhauled to

1403
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 16: some degree, And then who's calling the defense? Who's building

1404
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 16: it out? Because I know injuries were a big aspect

1405
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 16: to it, but but to me, that's been in a

1406
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 16: lot of ways the last few years to hurdle that

1407
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 16: this that this team's needed to at times overcome. And

1408
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 16: I'm curious as an offensive guy, and Joe, what's he

1409
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 16: going to do as a young guy in this first

1410
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 16: spot with all the game situation, the day to day

1411
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 16: the CEO aspects of the job. I would think he

1412
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:31,520
Speaker 16: needs somebody to run his defense where obviously he's engaged

1413
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 16: in what they're doing, but he can give that person

1414
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 16: total autonomy and ownership to Hey, you run it, you

1415
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 16: be the head coach of the defense. We'll connect early

1416
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 16: in the week to talk through keys, philosophies, style of

1417
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 16: game we want to play. But when it comes to

1418
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 16: the nuts and bolts, it's on you, man.

1419
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 2: Right, And I don't see how we can get past

1420
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 2: what this says, because you know Sean McDermott has moved out,

1421
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 2: Joe Brady is promoted from the offensive side of the ball.

1422
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 2: To me, this says they're fine with what the offense

1423
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 2: looks like. The changes have to happen on defense. Would

1424
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 2: you be surprised if there isn't wholesale changes on that

1425
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 2: side of the ball staff wise.

1426
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 16: I would be surprised that would be surprised if there

1427
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:20,439
Speaker 16: wasn't a experienced defensive coordinator, someone who's maybe been a

1428
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 16: defensive coordinator or has been a head coach, whatever it's been,

1429
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 16: that maybe brings some not just experience, but the experience

1430
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 16: of running an entire side of the ball, and then

1431
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 16: ideally maybe even some head coaching experience to help booy

1432
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 16: Joe in areas where he's going to be experiencing things

1433
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 16: for the first time. I often think of conversations with

1434
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 16: Sean McVay the first time. Now he was a little

1435
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 16: bit younger than Joe by about five or six years,

1436
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 16: but how impactful Wade Phillips was for him because not

1437
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 16: only was he someone that he could trust to just

1438
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 16: run the defense and run it well, but also could

1439
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 16: lean on to be like, Hey, I got this thing

1440
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 16: that came across my desk. I know you were a

1441
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 16: head coach at one point. What do you think I

1442
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 16: should do here? Have that type of I mean, Ben

1443
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 16: Johnson had it in Chicago this year with Dennis Allen, right,

1444
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 16: not necessarily a successful head coach, but a great defensive

1445
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:13,679
Speaker 16: mind and a guy who's just been in the wars

1446
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 16: of being the head man that to me would be

1447
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,679
Speaker 16: the priority in terms of a higher on the defensive side,

1448
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 16: in terms of a coordinator position.

1449
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 4: Right out of the gate, you see you know, Joe

1450
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 4: Brady get tabbed to be the head coach, and at

1451
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 4: first glances as well, they're not changing too much. And

1452
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 4: this is a team that has had a very high

1453
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 4: floor for a half a dozen years now where you think,

1454
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 4: all right, they're going to win the division or be

1455
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. This is a team that's gonna get there.

1456
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 4: But at the end of it, for the last six years,

1457
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,879
Speaker 4: with rare exception, the losses they've suffered in the playoffs

1458
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,679
Speaker 4: have been like that was a catch, not a catch,

1459
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 4: it was a fourth down spot here, it was a

1460
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 4: missed opportunity as a coin flip in this overtime game.

1461
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 4: Is these little weird somebody else's fault kind of details

1462
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 4: that cause them to lose a game and end their season,

1463
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 4: And by the quirkiness of all of them, they all

1464
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 4: kind of start to look alike. What can you know?

1465
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:18,679
Speaker 4: Does you know change in the top guy without changing

1466
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 4: too much? Is that kind of were you kind of

1467
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 4: trying thread that needle? If you're the Bills front office.

1468
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 16: It's a great question. It's a great sort of exercise

1469
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 16: and what this sport is and what makes it so maddening,

1470
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 16: but also for all of us covering it and those

1471
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 16: consuming it extremely entertaining all the things you described. I

1472
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:43,879
Speaker 16: don't think a head coach has the ability to change

1473
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 16: one way or the other. I think when those amount

1474
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 16: of things pile up on you, and I think from

1475
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 16: what I could consume from Afar was it just wears

1476
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 16: down a team. And now there is a quote unquote

1477
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 16: fresh start, albeit somebody who is a part of some

1478
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 16: of those heart breaks. And I think that's also valuable

1479
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 16: too that Joe when he steps now to the front

1480
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 16: of the room as the head coach for the guys

1481
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 16: that will be on this roster that have been a

1482
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 16: part of those things, and I think of the ten polls,

1483
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 16: like Josh now, James Cook and some of the guys

1484
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 16: on the other side of the ball, he can say, look,

1485
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,680
Speaker 16: I've lived these things with you, but we're putting that

1486
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 16: behind us. And now this is a new version of

1487
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 16: the Buffalo Bills, and I'm going to take us in

1488
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:28,799
Speaker 16: a direction through my approach day to day again, the energy,

1489
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 16: the personality I bring to this position, how I want

1490
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 16: you to attack it. And then from the schematic side

1491
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 16: of things, we'll wait and see how those things play out.

1492
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 16: But I don't know if there's a way with a

1493
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 16: coaching hire, whether it be head coach, defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator,

1494
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 16: hell even quarterback. I don't think that can change some

1495
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 16: of the just unfortunate things that have stood in the

1496
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 16: way of this team advancing to where I know they

1497
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 16: want to be.

1498
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 2: And then knowing Josh Allen was a part of the

1499
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 2: interview process to what degree will probably never know, but

1500
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 2: we know he was partaking in the interview process. How

1501
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:12,839
Speaker 2: does this hire reflect on him in what is somewhat

1502
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 2: of a unique arrangement.

1503
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 16: Well, I'm glad you brought that up, because I hope

1504
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,759
Speaker 16: that there will be some transparency over the next maybe

1505
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 16: days weeks, and as we get to understand the Joe

1506
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:29,759
Speaker 16: Bragrady era and what went into making him the head coach,

1507
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 16: just how much Josh did impact this decision. Because if

1508
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 16: there isn't some transparency and some clarity given by those

1509
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 16: in charge, whether it's Brandon Dean, Joe himself, or Josh,

1510
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 16: it's going to lead to speculation. And on the surface,

1511
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 16: it would appear that if Josh was involved in the

1512
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 16: interview process, that this is a guy that he would

1513
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 16: have wanted to be his head coach because from all

1514
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 16: I understood, they got along really well and he really

1515
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,639
Speaker 16: liked working with them, and they were extremely effective. Josh

1516
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,680
Speaker 16: MVP in my mind, he was MVP this year, even

1517
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,839
Speaker 16: though statistically he maybe didn't have the numbers. Just from

1518
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 16: the standpoint of what he had to do week in

1519
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 16: and week out, there was nobody more valuable. So if

1520
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 16: Josh decided and told Brandon like this is the guy

1521
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,640
Speaker 16: I want and Brandon was okay with it, and that's

1522
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 16: kind of how this went down. Then yeah, he'll have

1523
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 16: to wear the ownership that comes with that, the responsibility

1524
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 16: of well, you picked him, so now you too have

1525
01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 16: to work together along with a lot of other people

1526
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 16: to make this successful. But if we don't know that,

1527
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 16: then I do think that that's going to be something

1528
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 16: that's going to be tagged on to Josh's expectations, which

1529
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 16: are immense to start with. Now, it's okay, well you

1530
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:40,879
Speaker 16: kind of played de facto GM. We're at least hiring

1531
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 16: protocol here, and with that we're going to judge you

1532
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 16: in terms of the success of the overall team.

1533
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,679
Speaker 4: What's the first question you'd ask Joe Brady if you could.

1534
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 16: What's going to be different with you as head coach?

1535
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 16: To Sean McDermott.

1536
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's good. Yeah, and that's real. That's the

1537
01:23:57,800 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 4: real question here.

1538
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 2: We would be remiss, Evan if we didn't profile some

1539
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 2: of your adventures on the sidelines last week when the

1540
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 2: weather turned Buddy, I know you've been on the sidelines

1541
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 2: here in Buffalo. Steve obviously has done it as well.

1542
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 2: The frostiness of your hair was something super special. I'm

1543
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 2: sure you saw the memes on social media. I think

1544
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 2: they were comparing you to Martin Martin Schwortz Jack Frost character.

1545
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 3: From the movies. Yeah, I mean you're right there, man. Yeah,

1546
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 3: I mean not quite as spiky, but you're you're right there.

1547
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 16: So I'm not wearing a hat, by the way, because

1548
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,679
Speaker 16: my hair froze off. It still exists. It's just I've

1549
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 16: been out in the driveway suvel and so we're still

1550
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 16: we're still carrying the lettuce. Look, you guys, and I

1551
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 16: mentioned Steve, can you get on the sidelines for all

1552
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,679
Speaker 16: those years and but you live in an environment where

1553
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 16: things changed quickly, and that was as quick as it's

1554
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 16: changed in my experience twelve years doing NFL sidelines fourteen total,

1555
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 16: where honestly not We get to the stadium local time,

1556
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 16: so it's called eleven Eastern. It's sunny, it's crisp, it's cool,

1557
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 16: and then as we get to the end of the

1558
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 16: first half, clouds roll in. We've been told there could

1559
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 16: be some snow, and this obviously goes to some of

1560
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,640
Speaker 16: the like calling that everyone's getting on. Sewan paid for.

1561
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:21,720
Speaker 16: I don't remember any forecast that said second half, it's

1562
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:23,760
Speaker 16: gonna dump on you, guys, and you're going to be

1563
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 16: living in a snow globe. We knew there could be

1564
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 16: some flurries, but as you all saw, it's changed. It

1565
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 16: changed dramatically and specific to the hair situation. I never

1566
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 16: wear a hat unless it's crazy cold.

1567
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 2: I e.

1568
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 16: Your wild Card game against the Patriots where you blew

1569
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 16: them out. I rocked a hat in that game because

1570
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 16: it would have been unhealthy not to. But I was

1571
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 16: walking up and down the sideline and I was getting

1572
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 16: these kind of funny looks, and eventually I saw the

1573
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:53,400
Speaker 16: guy who's working with him, like, what's going on here?

1574
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 16: Is the gle Your hair is frozen right now? It

1575
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 16: looks it looks frozen. And then eventually we're getting ready

1576
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 16: to do the weather report or do the weather yeah,

1577
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 16: the reporting game. And so I get to a camera

1578
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,599
Speaker 16: and I kind of see my camera guy, Jason kind

1579
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,840
Speaker 16: of chuckling, and I said, do I look ridiculous right now?

1580
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 16: And he kind of he gave me a smile, and

1581
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,799
Speaker 16: then Rickoff said, like, don't touch your hair. Jim Rickoff

1582
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 16: our lead producer, who you guys know, and I know

1583
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 16: the pastor knows. And then Yeah, what happened after that

1584
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 16: was great. I mean, look to me, that game became

1585
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 16: about the weather in the second half, so it was

1586
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,600
Speaker 16: it was fun to be able to And that is

1587
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 16: where in all seriousness, like sideline reporters sometimes we get

1588
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 16: a bad rap, people like what are you doing down there?

1589
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 16: That's where it really does matter, because you couldn't understand

1590
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 16: from the booth or from your screen or your home

1591
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 16: just how the not only it was snowing, but the

1592
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 16: wind patterns were making it literally impossible to open your

1593
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 16: eyes depending on which way you were going. And as

1594
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,799
Speaker 16: we saw, they couldn't really play football for the fourth

1595
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 16: and half of the third quarter.

1596
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 4: Let me just say I may be one of the

1597
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 4: few people who can empathize greatly with what you went

1598
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 4: through and how wy you handle it. I've been there,

1599
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 4: you did great, and thanks for coming on with us.

1604
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:17,160

01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there, we'll catch up with you then. Thanks Evan.

1606
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 16: Alright, fellas that's.

1607
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:24,439
Speaker 2: NFL on CBS sideline reporter Evan Washburn. Really all that

1608
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 2: did on Sunday was provide him with a built in

1609
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 2: AI version of what Evan Washburn is gonna look like

1610
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:31,719
Speaker 2: in twenty five years.

1611
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 4: He looked like his hair looked frosted. Yes, it looked

1612
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 4: absolutely perfectly frosted. That was amazing.

1613
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 2: I kind of laughed out loud when he said when

1614
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 2: he said, I think we've taken frosted tips to a

1615
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 2: new extreme.

1616
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it almost feels like if he took his fingers

1617
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 4: and ran his hands.

1618
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 3: Well, he did do it. After he did his hit.

1619
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 4: It would snap, snap his hair off it.

1620
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 2: So he did his hit, they cut away from him

1621
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 2: back to the game while Nance and Romo were talking,

1622
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 2: and then they cut back down and he started brushing

1623
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,640
Speaker 2: it out of his hair and it was like his

1624
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 2: head became a snow glow.

1625
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 3: So it was crazy.

1626
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 4: That is amazing. Look it looks.

1627
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a beautiful quaff. He's got one

1628
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 3: of the best in television.

1629
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:17,639
Speaker 4: He looks. He went from being like thirty five, forty

1630
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 4: five something like that to sixty five.

1631
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, there it is. Yeah, that's what he did.

1632
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:23,760
Speaker 4: At the end.

1633
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 3: That's what I saw on TV. It was crazy. We

1634
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 3: got to take a break here.

1635
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 2: We will get back to the phone calls as Joe

1636
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 2: Brady has been named your new head coach, agreed to terms,

1637
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 2: reportedly on a five year deal. We'll talk about it

1638
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 2: more with you when we get back here on One

1639
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1640
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 2: All right, back here on One Bill's Live Chris Ground

1641
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:00,160
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker on the day that Joe Brady is name

1642
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:00,719
Speaker 2: the new.

1643
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 3: Head coach of the Buffalo Bills.

1644
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: Peter Scheger from ESPN has shed a little light on

1645
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's role in the head coaching search process with

1646
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:17,280
Speaker 2: the following In a report, he said, a note on

1647
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's role in the Bills head coaching search. He

1648
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 2: was in the room for many of the candidates in

1649
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 2: person interviews and got to see behind the curtains on

1650
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:31,559
Speaker 2: the process and offer his opinions on each. He was

1651
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:34,679
Speaker 2: not a part of the narrowing of the final list

1652
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:40,599
Speaker 2: or the final head coaching decision. So that's from Peter

1653
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:44,799
Speaker 2: Schreger from ESPN. Take it for what it's worth again,

1654
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 2: I've been trying to provide some factual notes throughout the

1655
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 2: show today for you to do with them what you will.

1656
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 2: Everyone's going to have their opinions on this hire. I've

1657
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 2: been trying to provide statistical notes for you to chew

1658
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:04,679
Speaker 2: on in assessing this higher Here's one more. Since Joe

1659
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 2: Brady was promoted to interim offensive coordinator in week eleven

1660
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three, the Bills are thirty one and ten.

1661
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 2: No NFL team has had a better record over that span.

1662
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 2: Is it all because of Joe Brady? Obviously not, But

1663
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:24,800
Speaker 2: it's just another fact to present for you to do

1664
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 2: with it what you will. Let's get back to the

1665
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 2: phones and to Cody and Buffalo. What do you offer

1666
01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:31,519
Speaker 2: as Cody or on one Bill's Live?

Speaker 26: Just wanted to call and say, you know, I really

1670
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 26: think everyone just needs to relax a little bit here.

1671
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:40,080
Speaker 26: I mean, we need to get through a draft, we

1672
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:42,519
Speaker 26: need to get through free agency, we need to see

1673
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 26: the coordinators are like you guys have been saying. I mean,

1674
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:46,880
Speaker 26: we need to just everyone just needs to relax. Take

1675
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 26: a show pill. The Bills are going to be fine.

1676
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:49,800
Speaker 26: It's all I had to say.

1677
01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 3: All right, thanks Cody, appreciate n Cody.

1678
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 4: We don't want to do that. That's no fun.

1679
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 2: Come on, Yes, I think that is That is the

1680
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 2: biggest next I think that is the biggest next step

1681
01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:08,719
Speaker 2: in maybe getting a better handle on what is going

1682
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:12,599
Speaker 2: to be different about the twenty twenty six bills in

1683
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 2: comparison to the twenty twenty five pills. We all know

1684
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,919
Speaker 2: the roster is going to experience turnover. If this defense

1685
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 2: is a completely new scheme, we're gonna see more turnover

1686
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 2: in Buffalo than we've seen in almost a decade.

1687
01:31:25,479 --> 01:31:26,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, player turnover.

1688
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 4: It's gonna be interesting. You know, frustrating part about this

1689
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 4: Now they start thinking about what we're gonna You and

1690
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 4: I sit here and we think about what's going to

1691
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:35,600
Speaker 4: be like this offseason of the combine and stuff. We

1692
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:40,760
Speaker 4: got these tent pole events that we go through free agency. Now,

1693
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:43,640
Speaker 4: it's gonna be forever until we get to see this

1694
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 4: team play and actually compete with a new head coach.

1695
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 4: It's gonna take forever for this offseason to get over.

1696
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:55,679
Speaker 2: Well, well there's a long to do list now, Yeah,

1697
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:56,639
Speaker 2: the list got longer.

1698
01:31:56,680 --> 01:31:58,360
Speaker 4: Well, it was gonna be long anyway. With a new

1699
01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 4: head coach all that, but you know the staff. Who's

1700
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 4: gonna be on his staff? Are they gonna make a

1701
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 4: philosophical change on either side of the ball. Who's gonna

1702
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:12,719
Speaker 4: be like? For me? I mean, you know, me being

1703
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 4: an old man yelling at clouds. Who's going to be

1704
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 4: the special teams coordinator? Defensive coordinator? What's their draft going

1705
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:26,679
Speaker 4: to look like? What? What are we gonna hear about

1706
01:32:27,080 --> 01:32:30,160
Speaker 4: why Joe Brady was different? We've had some reports that,

1707
01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 4: you know, part of this interview process, Joe Brady hit

1708
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:34,400
Speaker 4: it out of the park ahead of everybody, like better

1709
01:32:34,439 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 4: than anybody, So as part of you know, one of

1710
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 4: the big reasons why they hired him. More more information

1711
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:45,639
Speaker 4: about that we're gonna hear from Josh all of this stuff.

1712
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 4: We don't know anything yet, right except you know who

1713
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:50,800
Speaker 4: they've hired. So there's a lot we don't know. And

1714
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 4: Briani and I were, like everybody else, we're kind of

1715
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 4: conjecturing about how it went, what is what it's going

1716
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 4: to mean. And obviously all these candidates have their big

1717
01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 4: pluses and and maybe big minuses for everybody who are different,

1718
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:06,320
Speaker 4: different pluses, different minuses, however you want to evaluate them.

1719
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 4: So you can certainly justify any of the guys that

1720
01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 4: were on the list that they hired and interviewed, and

1721
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 4: some of the guys they didn't hire and didn't interview.

1722
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 4: So I'm you know, this is well. I don't know

1723
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:24,080
Speaker 4: how did did our next six months get you and me?

1724
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 4: We're gonna be really busy, bro, We're gonna.

1725
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:32,320
Speaker 3: Be so there's no what are you talking about?

1726
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:36,719

01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 4: should take a vacation. Where I should do I get started?

1728
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:39,519
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1729
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:41,640
Speaker 2: We're not gonna take a vacation right now, but we

1730

Speaker 1: This this One Bills Live presented by called lighta Health

1739
01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 1: All right.

1740
01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 2: Here we are our number three special bonus edition of

1741
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,280
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live. As the new head coach is Joe

1742
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 2: Brady for your Buffalo Bills. Uh NFL reporter Jordan Schultz

1743
01:34:57,360 --> 01:35:00,200
Speaker 2: shed a little more light on what got you Joe

1744
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:03,639
Speaker 2: Brady the nod. He reports the following what the Bills

1745
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 2: liked about Joe Brady and the main reasons they hired him.

1746
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 2: The CEO portion of the interview stood out the most.

1747
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,800
Speaker 2: His vision for how everything would be structured from the

1748
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 2: head coach seat was viewed as a quote home run.

1749
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:22,040
Speaker 2: He also nailed the importance of alignment between coaching and

1750
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:23,640
Speaker 2: player personnel.

1751
01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 3: They also said.

1752
01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 2: He also reported while they knew him as an OC,

1753
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:31,240
Speaker 2: they hadn't seen him in a head coach role. In

1754
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 2: his structure and leadership approach to becoming a head coach

1755
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:41,280
Speaker 2: impressed the search committee. On another front, concerning Brady's inherited

1756
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:46,879
Speaker 2: offensive staff, Assistant offensive line coach Austin Gunn has already

1757
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:52,479
Speaker 2: interviewed for the Jaguars run game coordinator position. He did

1758
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 2: not ultimately get the job. It went to Brian Pacucci,

1759
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 2: who's got a longer working history with Jags war's head

1760
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:03,840
Speaker 2: coach Liam Cohen. But gun is expected to be a

1761
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 2: candidate for coaching staff openings around the league, and as

1762
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 2: we know, there are still three head coaching jobs that

1763
01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:14,559
Speaker 2: need to be filled and a number of other staffs

1764
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 2: that need to be filled. So I would imagine Joe

1765
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 2: Brady if he wants to retain any of the assistants

1766
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:22,519
Speaker 2: on the staff, he will be making a lot of

1767
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:26,519
Speaker 2: phone calls this afternoon. But let's get back to your

1768
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 2: calls at eight o three oh five point fifty one

1769
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 2: eighty eight five point fifty two, five fifty and we

1770
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:34,919
Speaker 2: go to Bill down in Texas.

1771
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 3: What's going on?

1772
01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:35,720
Speaker 16: Bill?

1773
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 27: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Hey, I just first let me say

1774
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:42,439
Speaker 27: I wish you guys were here to watch these people

1775
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 27: in Texas in Dallas try and drive an ISOs.

1776
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 17: So it is.

1777
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:47,600
Speaker 23: It is hilarious.

1778
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 27: Besides that, Joe Brady, I'm excited.

1779
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:51,760
Speaker 23: And let me tell you why.

1780
01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:54,200
Speaker 27: I think this man did a hell of a job

1781
01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:57,720
Speaker 27: this year. Considering the weapons that he didn't have, uh

1782
01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:00,679
Speaker 27: and the injuries, I think he did hell of a job.

1783
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:04,599
Speaker 27: So I say, let's go find two good receivers, let's

1784
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:08,480
Speaker 27: go find two defensive game wreckers, and let's go undefeated

1785
01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:12,599
Speaker 27: the next four years, win four Super Bowls and shut

1786
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:16,719
Speaker 27: those Dolphin fans up about their one undefeated season.

1787
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:17,679
Speaker 25: Have a good day.

1788
01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 2: Thanks, Bill, appreciate that we should mention there is some

1789
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:25,799
Speaker 2: more Jets coaching staff news. As we know, Aaron Glenn

1790
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:29,280
Speaker 2: earlier this week punted seven of his assistants out of

1791
01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 2: the building, nearly a month after the Jets season ended.

1792
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:35,920
Speaker 2: He has now parted ways with his offensive coordinator as well,

1793
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:40,080
Speaker 2: Tanner Engstrand, who worked under Ben Johnson in Detroit and

1794
01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 2: came with Aaron Glenn from Detroit to the Jets. He

1795
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,599
Speaker 2: is one and done, and you wonder if he's going

1796
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:49,639
Speaker 2: to be a candidate for some of these coaching staffs

1797
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 2: that need to be filled out here in the coming

1798
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:54,720
Speaker 2: days and weeks. Just thought we would mention that as

1799
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:59,200
Speaker 2: it has just been reported to Mike and Lancaster. Next,

1800
01:37:59,240 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 2: what's up, Mike.

1801
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:03,800
Speaker 12: I just wanted to rattle off a few things here

1802
01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:07,600
Speaker 12: that I think, in my opinion, would help the Bills.

1803
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 12: You know, I feel that the team needs some new

1804
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:17,560
Speaker 12: pieces in the offensive line. So here, Josh, if he

1805
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:24,400
Speaker 12: had more time, you know, without these guys rushing at him,

1806
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 12: you know, I think that would be great for him.

1807
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:29,760
Speaker 12: And I also think that if the offensive line can

1808
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 12: open up some holes for Cook, that would be great.

1809
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 6: Also in the.

1810
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:36,640
Speaker 12: Denver game when Josh went back to pass and he

1811
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 12: got hit and he fubbled the ball. Now that that

1812
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:44,960
Speaker 12: wasn't Josh's fault, it was from the offensive line. So

1813
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 12: and also, the defensive line needs a lot of help.

1814
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:49,840
Speaker 13: You know.

1815
01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 12: They need somebody that's gonna be able to put pressure

1816
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:56,880
Speaker 12: on the quarterback, you know, basically whenever the defensive coordinator

1817
01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:58,639
Speaker 12: calls for it, not not, you know what I mean.

1818
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:02,800
Speaker 12: They got to have some tough guys up there. And

1819
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:07,759
Speaker 12: that's basically about it. I was gonna say, the defensive

1820
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:10,000
Speaker 12: backs we need, might need a piece, a couple of

1821
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:14,639
Speaker 12: pieces change also, you know, and we need to make

1822
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:17,360
Speaker 12: the refs happy so they're not always throwing flags on us.

1823
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 3: Okay.

1824
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:20,439
Speaker 12: Basically that's basically what I want to see.

1825
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you wanted to you basically want to change everything. Okay.

1826
01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:25,760
Speaker 2: I mean it was the number one rushing offense in

1827
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:28,719
Speaker 2: the league. You don't think the offensive line was good.

1828
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 4: Josh did get sacked forty times, which is a career.

1829
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:36,559
Speaker 2: Yes, but on third and fourth down he held the

1830
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:39,479
Speaker 2: ball longer than he had in the previous four seasons. Yeah,

1831
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 2: So is that a byproduct of protection or a byproduct.

1832
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 3: Of nobody getting open.

1833
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:49,000
Speaker 2: It's probably a little bit of both, right, And this

1834
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:51,200
Speaker 2: was an offensive line that was just one year removed

1835
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:54,800
Speaker 2: from having the best protection in the league. And look,

1836
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 2: things can change from one year to the next. I'll

1837
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:57,479
Speaker 2: be the first to admit that.

1838
01:39:57,520 --> 01:39:59,519
Speaker 4: But they are gonna have to change out a couple

1839
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:01,799
Speaker 4: of pieces that offensive line because two of their guys

1840
01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 4: are free agents. They may or may not come back,

1841
01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 4: so they're going to have to do something at that point.

1842
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 4: Same thing on the D line. Joey Bosa is on

1843
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:13,800
Speaker 4: a one year deal. Epanessa's contract is up. Is that right?

1844
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 4: So they've you know, they've got all of that going on,

1845
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:19,839
Speaker 4: plus the injuries to guys like Mike Hoyt and Landon Jackson.

1846
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:22,479
Speaker 4: Don't know what those guys and C. J. Sanders don't

1847
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:24,280
Speaker 4: know what he's going to be like when he comes back.

1848
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 4: Ed Oliver, who was you know, has been injured multiple

1849
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 4: times this last year. So yeah, there's a lot of

1850
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:40,120
Speaker 4: uncertainty there. So, yes, the roster is going to have

1851
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 4: to be revamped and refurbished and reworked and all of that.

1852
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 4: And we're just getting started on that, and with a

1853
01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 4: new head coach who may have a different take on

1854
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 4: the kind of guys they want than the last guy did.

1855
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:57,920
Speaker 3: And that's kind of where it sits.

1856
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:01,599
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and get your thoughts

1857
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 2: on the hiring of Joe Brady as head coach, and

1858
01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:11,240
Speaker 2: we go to Tom in lackawanaex what's up, Tom?

1859
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 3: Tom? Are you there?

1860
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put Tom on hold and we'll go to

1861
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:18,160
Speaker 2: Jim in Virginia.

1862
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 3: What's up, Jim?

1863
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:24,439
Speaker 17: Yes, thanks for taking my call. I'm just following the

1864
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:30,759
Speaker 17: way in on the coaching hire today, and I'm neither

1865
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:35,519
Speaker 17: excited nor disappointed. I don't think anybody can sit here

1866
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:38,400
Speaker 17: and say how Joe Brady's going to do as a

1867
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 17: head coach, but what he's done as an offensive coordinator

1868
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 17: to here's some of these palls. I mean, he's finished

1869
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:49,960
Speaker 17: first in offense two years ago, fourth in offense this year,

1870
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 17: number one rushing, like you said, with supposedly you know,

1871
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:58,640
Speaker 17: not great players. So to just put this aside and

1872
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:01,800
Speaker 17: say this is terrible. Are they going to hire like

1873
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:05,840
Speaker 17: you know, you don't know any of these guys. No

1874
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 17: one knew how great of a coach Marvel Leavy was

1875
01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:12,160
Speaker 17: going to be. He had his opportunity in Kansas City

1876
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,559
Speaker 17: did well in Montreal, but no one, no one knew

1877
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 17: how great he was going to be. Maybe Joe Brady

1878
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 17: turns into greatness, maybe he doesn't, and at that point

1879
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 17: you move on. One of the things I was gonna

1880
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 17: echo with Evan, your guest defensive coordinator, to me is

1881
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 17: the biggest player, because that's in my opinion, that's the

1882
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 17: reason why they haven't gone on. If Steve or Chris

1883
01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 17: you can weigh in on this. I'm watching the Denver

1884
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:50,880
Speaker 17: game second half. I want to say, Denver, they did

1885
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 17: absolutely nothing until that last drive with four minutes ago.

1886
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:59,720
Speaker 17: Something changed. Somebody made a change in that defense where

1887
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:02,559
Speaker 17: all the sudden they're wide receiver who hadn't caught a

1888
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:04,719
Speaker 17: ball all game. I don't think he was even targeted.

1889
01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 17: Is catching balls left and right down the field, so

1890
01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 17: something changed there. Lastly, I'll just I heard Eric Wood

1891
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 17: talking on the radio last week or this week, I

1892
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:22,639
Speaker 17: can't remember, but he kind of echoed your sentiment Steve

1893
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:27,559
Speaker 17: about Terry Pugula. He's a good man. He gets a

1894
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,920
Speaker 17: lot of grief for you know, he's not a public speaker. Okay,

1895
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 17: I think everyone can do that, but he knows a

1896
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:37,840
Speaker 17: how to make money and I think be run an organization.

1897
01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:42,599
Speaker 17: So maybe I'm too positive, but that's my take. Thanks

1898
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:43,200
Speaker 17: for taking my call.

1899
01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:46,800
Speaker 2: All right, you're things, Jim you want to talk about.

1900
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm guessing you're talking about the last drive in regulation

1901
01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:53,639
Speaker 2: for the Broncos.

1902
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:54,960
Speaker 3: That led to the MIM's touchdown.

1903
01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 2: Because all of a sudden, Courtland Sutton, who hadn't done

1904
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 2: anything the whole game, was making plays. He makes an

1905
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 2: eleven yard reception on the first play of the drive.

1906
01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:08,759
Speaker 2: Then they have the fullback Adkins go for a yard.

1907
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:11,800
Speaker 2: Then it's Mims for a loss of two. It's third

1908
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 2: and eleven, Sutton for twenty five two minute warning, Sutton

1909
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 2: for six, and then Nicks runs for six yards, and

1910
01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 2: then it's the Mims play with Trudeavius White in the

1911
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:28,479
Speaker 2: medical tent and Dan Jackson on the field covering Mims

1912
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:32,400
Speaker 2: in a man to man coverage call. So you want

1913
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:34,320
Speaker 2: to argue that they shouldn't been in man with a

1914
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:36,760
Speaker 2: player fresh off the bench on the field, knowing Sean

1915
01:44:36,800 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 2: Payton's probably going to target him. I'll listen to that.

1916
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:42,720
Speaker 2: So if that's what you're getting at, I get it.

1917
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:47,800
Speaker 2: And then as for defensive coordinator, You're one hundred percent right.

1918
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:52,639
Speaker 2: It's the most important hire that will signal to us

1919
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:55,800
Speaker 2: how much the twenty twenty six bills will be different

1920
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,320
Speaker 2: from the twenty twenty five pills. Obviously, Joe Brady is

1921
01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 2: a head coach, is going to change some decision making

1922
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:04,719
Speaker 2: on game day and how that's handled, clock management, fourth

1923
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:07,519
Speaker 2: down decisions, all the things that go into the duties

1924
01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:08,760
Speaker 2: of a head coach challenges.

1925
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 3: We don't know what that's going to look like.

1926
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:14,800
Speaker 2: But who he hires for his defensive staff I think

1927
01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 2: will provide at least an idea of how much this

1928
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:24,400
Speaker 2: defense will be different going forward. Let's see who's been

1929
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:27,759
Speaker 2: holding the longest here. We're going to go to Mary

1930
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:32,600
Speaker 2: in Buffalo and next, what's up Mary?

1931
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:33,760
Speaker 3: Mary? Are you there?

1932
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:37,720
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna put Mary on hul She's listening to

1933
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 2: a radio. We go to Mark and West senecon ex

1934
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:40,040
Speaker 2: what's up Mark?

1935
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 20: Hey, guys, I don't really mind the higher I mean,

1936
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:50,720
Speaker 20: we've been. We've been so close, you know, every year

1937
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 20: this decade, and you know, I think we all want

1938
01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 20: a little change. I can get us over the hump,

1939
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 20: but not necessarily big change where you could go you know,

1940
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:02,040
Speaker 20: a lot more room to go backwards than there is

1941
01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 20: to go forward. And you know, I'm certainly glad the

1942
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:09,920
Speaker 20: new coaches offensive. So I mean, I guess Joe Brady

1943
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:12,640
Speaker 20: kind of checks those boxes. And Steve, I think he

1944
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 20: made the point earlier that a Brady had was coming

1945
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:19,720
Speaker 20: from somewhere else like Yudinsky or Kubiak. We you know,

1946
01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:22,759
Speaker 20: we probably would maybe really like the higher he obviously

1947
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:26,759
Speaker 20: was on a lot of other teams lists. My biggest

1948
01:46:27,120 --> 01:46:31,640
Speaker 20: issue that has been talked about recently is the defensive coordinator.

1949
01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 20: And you know, for me, I judge you know, this

1950
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 20: Bills team. To me, you totally judge them by the

1951
01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 20: playoffs at this point. I mean, they've they're proven regular

1952
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:45,800
Speaker 20: season you know, juggernauts, they wrack up good stats against

1953
01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:48,519
Speaker 20: you know, most of the teams, But when they get

1954
01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:50,520
Speaker 20: to the playoffs, and if you look at the losses

1955
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:52,120
Speaker 20: and even if you look at some of the wins,

1956
01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:55,120
Speaker 20: the problem has not been on offense. It's been on defense.

1957
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 20: And you know, I think maybe one of the advantages

1958
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:02,439
Speaker 20: of having an all offensive guy now is the head coach,

1959
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:06,000
Speaker 20: is that I would think a good team like the

1960
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:09,000
Speaker 20: Bills with an offensive head coach, I think that would

1961
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:12,000
Speaker 20: be a dream job for a defensive coordinator to come here.

1962
01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 20: Who knows he's going to get to put his stamp

1963
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:16,840
Speaker 20: on things. He's not going to have the head coach

1964
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 20: kind of wanting the DC to do things the way

1965
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 20: McDermott wants things done, like maybe was going on with Davitch.

1966
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:27,040
Speaker 20: So for me, it's all about who we get as

1967
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:30,360
Speaker 20: defensive coordinator. Are we going to change up the scheme?

1968
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:33,200
Speaker 20: Maybe this nickel defense has kind of run its course

1969
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:36,600
Speaker 20: against elite teams in the playoffs. Maybe it's time to

1970
01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 20: change up the scheme, change up the personnel, get a

1971
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:43,400
Speaker 20: little bit more aggressive. And you know, I think, you know,

1972
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 20: I think whatever we do on the defensive side, for me,

1973
01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 20: that will ultimately really determine whether this was a great

1974
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:54,240
Speaker 20: idea or not. But as I sit here today, I

1975
01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 20: think Brady was a good idea.

1976
01:47:56,360 --> 01:47:58,040
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks, Mark, appreciate that.

1977
01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right about the defensive coordinator post

1978
01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 2: being an attractive position because you know, you don't have

1979
01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 2: to hold opponents to ten points or thirteen points every

1980
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 2: week you hold them to twenty.

1981
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 3: You're probably winning.

1982
01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:15,599
Speaker 2: Seventy five to eighty percent of your games just based

1983
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:17,839
Speaker 2: on what this offense has done under.

1984
01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 3: Joe Brady the last two years.

1985
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:22,840
Speaker 2: If average twenty eight plus points a game, you hold

1986
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:27,160
Speaker 2: that opponent to twenty, you're probably winning every week. That's

1987
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:30,559
Speaker 2: that's a pretty good margin for error for a defensive

1988
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 2: coordinator to coach in this league.

1989
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be. And plus, having Joe Brady advanced from

1990
01:48:37,920 --> 01:48:40,679
Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator's role, you know that that's his area

1991
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:43,840
Speaker 4: of expertise, and he's looking for a guy who will

1992
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:46,920
Speaker 4: have a problem maybe a little bit more autonomy than

1993
01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:49,600
Speaker 4: Leslie Fraser did. Maybe when we took over for he

1994
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:54,519
Speaker 4: took was DC for Sean McDermott, or the defensive coordinator

1995
01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:58,040
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh under Mike Tomlin. You know all this the

1996
01:48:58,120 --> 01:49:02,479
Speaker 4: defensive head coaches in the league who hire a defensive

1997
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 4: coordinator and then you know the guy looks over their

1998
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:08,080
Speaker 4: shoulder a little bit like you know, an offensive cod

1999
01:49:08,200 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 4: it'd be an offensive coordinator under an offensive head coach.

2000
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 4: How much do you get to do? It's gonna be

2001
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 4: a question of what Joe Brady does with his offensive coordinator.

2002
01:49:17,439 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 4: But as a defensive guy, now with Brady advancing, you're

2003
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 4: the guy that's supposed to probably has more autonomy than

2004
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:29,000
Speaker 4: other spots than maybe Bobby Babbage did under McDermott. Who knows,

2005
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 4: We may never know that, but yeah, you're right, it

2006
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:36,519
Speaker 4: might be a pretty attractive spot. Certainly you got some

2007
01:49:36,640 --> 01:49:37,920
Speaker 4: high expectations and.

2008
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 3: Probably limited with elite players.

2009
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:48,240
Speaker 4: Right And probably a downer part of the equation is

2010
01:49:48,280 --> 01:49:51,759
Speaker 4: the fact that you know you don't have an elite

2011
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:53,680
Speaker 4: You don't have a Micah Parsons to walk into the

2012
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:56,160
Speaker 4: building with, or a Miles Garrett to walk into the

2013
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 4: building with, or a pas Certain to walk into the

2014
01:49:58,880 --> 01:50:01,639
Speaker 4: certain to walk into the you know you gotta, you're

2015
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 4: going in with a kind of you know you've, you've

2016
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:09,280
Speaker 4: You don't have a game wrecker on that side of

2017
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:09,599
Speaker 4: the ball.

2018
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:12,120
Speaker 2: Maybe they find a way to acquire one or two

2019
01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 2: in free agency in the draft, but in free agency

2020
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:17,599
Speaker 2: we know they come at a premium, and the Bills

2021
01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,240
Speaker 2: are not in a cap situation right now to pay

2022
01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 2: a premium. Maybe after some fiscal restructuring they can accomplish that.

2023
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:28,760
Speaker 3: But perhaps in all likelihood.

2024
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:32,400
Speaker 2: You got to hit a home run in the draft

2025
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:36,560
Speaker 2: and find a couple of difference makers. I don't know

2026
01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:37,800
Speaker 2: that there's any two ways about that.

2027
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:39,760
Speaker 4: I don't know if and it's easy to say that,

2028
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 4: but you even know if there's going to be one

2029
01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 4: in this draft, a particularly after the fifteenth pick, when

2030
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 4: you're picking twenty fifth.

2031
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 2: It's a good edge rusher draft. There's depth there. It's

2032
01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 2: a good wide receiver draft. There's depth there, and it's

2033
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:55,559
Speaker 2: a good linebacker draft. Those are all positions where the

2034
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:58,720
Speaker 2: Bills need to fortify this roster going forward. Let's go

2035
01:50:58,760 --> 01:51:00,640
Speaker 2: to Tony in Buffalo to.

2036
01:51:02,200 --> 01:51:06,639
Speaker 28: Good afternoon, guys. I just wanted to When I heard

2037
01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 28: that Joe Brady had been hired, I kind of I

2038
01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:14,760
Speaker 28: shook my head. But in thinking about it, so Mike

2039
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:21,280
Speaker 28: McCarthy was hired, Harvall was hired, Stefanski was hired, Robert Salah,

2040
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:24,519
Speaker 28: of course, Dabele is one of the guys. His names

2041
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 28: are out there, and then Jesse Mentor and Jeff Haffley.

2042
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:32,040
Speaker 28: Is Joe Brady any worse? Are these guys any better

2043
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:37,599
Speaker 28: than Joe Brady? And as far as hiring an offensive coach,

2044
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:41,599
Speaker 28: like everybody else said, the problem was with the defense

2045
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 28: and the philosophy of McDermott, I believe affected the offense

2046
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:53,240
Speaker 28: as well, because there were many games this year where

2047
01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 28: McDermott or and the team came out flat. They were

2048
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 28: getting run off the field, and when they were far behind,

2049
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:04,880
Speaker 28: the offense opened up and they were able to score

2050
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:08,520
Speaker 28: some points. But I think that the philosophy of McDermott

2051
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:12,360
Speaker 28: effected the entire team. I'm willing to give Joe Brady

2052
01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:18,720
Speaker 28: an opportunity, but I'm also hoping that they get a

2053
01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:23,240
Speaker 28: defensive coordinator that, like the last caller said, that can

2054
01:52:23,280 --> 01:52:26,800
Speaker 28: really go in there and put his own focus on

2055
01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 28: the team and be aggressive. In the old days, the Raiders,

2056
01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:34,880
Speaker 28: when they were good, they used to say, we go

2057
01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:38,640
Speaker 28: out there and take what we want. Other teams go

2058
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 28: out there and take what they give them, And I

2059
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:44,639
Speaker 28: think that's what we need to do. Thanks for allowing

2060
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:45,240
Speaker 28: me to talk guy.

2061
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure thing, Tony, thanks for the call.

2062
01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, when push comes to chef your shove. You're right.

2063
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 4: Some of the some of the candidates we've seen, like

2064
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 4: Robert Slow we saw in New York. Some of the

2065
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 4: other guys we saw a different roles in different teams

2066
01:52:57,960 --> 01:52:59,840
Speaker 4: and head coaches as well. Some of the candidates that

2067
01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 4: taken and defensive coordinators, defensive guys, and we don't know

2068
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:07,160
Speaker 4: about any of them. Because we haven't seen him in

2069
01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:09,880
Speaker 4: the role now they're at with the organization they're with. Now,

2070
01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:14,080
Speaker 4: how Joe Brady does in Buffalo may be very different

2071
01:53:14,080 --> 01:53:15,479
Speaker 4: than the Joe Brady we would get it with the

2072
01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:19,960
Speaker 4: New York Jets or with the Miami Dolphins. There's a

2073
01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:22,160
Speaker 4: million moving parts of these NFL franchise.

2074
01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:23,479
Speaker 3: We don't know about sports system.

2075
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:26,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't know about any of them. So you're right,

2076
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:29,719
Speaker 4: and we all have our own, you know, our snap

2077
01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:32,240
Speaker 4: judgments about how good or smart this hire is, and

2078
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:33,679
Speaker 4: we're all gonna have to wait and find out.

2079
01:53:34,920 --> 01:53:36,760
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, but more of your

2080
01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:38,880
Speaker 2: phone calls when we get back. Got plenty of time

2081
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:40,240
Speaker 2: to get to you if you're holding at eight oh

2082
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:42,519
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty, So we'll do that when we return.

2083
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:44,080
Speaker 3: Joe Brady is.

2084
01:53:44,080 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 2: Your new head coach of the Buffalo Bills. You tell

2085
01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:58,680
Speaker 2: us about it next here on one Bill's Life. All

2086
01:53:58,800 --> 01:53:59,960
Speaker 2: right back here on one of Bill's Live.

2087
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 3: Chris brown Seed tasker with you. We'll get to the

2088
01:54:02,120 --> 01:54:03,960
Speaker 3: phones in a second. Just having a little bit of

2089
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:06,439
Speaker 3: a problem with the screen freezing up on us today.

2090
01:54:06,920 --> 01:54:10,080
Speaker 2: Apparently the cold weather outside is having an impact on

2091
01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:12,240
Speaker 2: our electronics inside.

2092
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:15,600
Speaker 4: Getting Yeah, when the phones go out, it's kind of

2093
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:18,960
Speaker 4: a panic in our studio here, so you know, stick

2094
01:54:19,040 --> 01:54:20,720
Speaker 4: with it. We had one guy come on and I

2095
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:25,920
Speaker 4: think I had his name here written and he completely hunter.

2096
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:31,040
Speaker 4: I think no, it was Harold from Rochester and uh yeah,

2097
01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:31,960
Speaker 4: just went away.

2098
01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:36,360
Speaker 3: Well, the whole bank of phone calls dropped off the line. Yeah,

2099
01:54:36,520 --> 01:54:39,960
Speaker 3: that stinks, completely done. So we're gonna let our.

2100
01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:43,200
Speaker 4: Hand, our young intern is gonna take care of the.

2101
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:49,880
Speaker 2: I would say the general consensus of the responses thus

2102
01:54:49,880 --> 01:54:55,280
Speaker 2: far is, at least some of the more rational ones. Well,

2103
01:54:55,360 --> 01:54:59,240
Speaker 2: everybody's entitled to their opinion at some point, but some

2104
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 2: of the more recent phone callers have said, hey, let's

2105
01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:05,720
Speaker 2: see what this defensive staff looks like, and then we

2106
01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:09,840
Speaker 2: can make a better assessment of what kind.

2107
01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:12,440
Speaker 3: Of change we're going to be looking at.

2108
01:55:12,320 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 2: In terms of the twenty twenty six bills going forward

2109
01:55:16,480 --> 01:55:17,720
Speaker 2: from what we've seen before.

2110
01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:20,440
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

2111
01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:22,800
Speaker 2: Looks like our phones are back up and running thanks

2112
01:55:22,840 --> 01:55:23,800
Speaker 2: to our crack staff.

2113
01:55:24,360 --> 01:55:30,680
Speaker 3: And we go to Kirk in Lewiston. What's up, Kirk, Hey.

2114
01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:33,040
Speaker 15: Good afternoon, guys, Thanks for taking my call.

2115
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:36,240
Speaker 16: Sure, the brady thing.

2116
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:42,400
Speaker 15: My reaction is I'm kind of not surprised. I kind

2117
01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:46,880
Speaker 15: of anticipated that this would be the case.

2118
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:48,240
Speaker 5: Based on.

2119
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:53,440
Speaker 15: Internal hirings. We could go to Kevin Adams in hockey.

2120
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:56,920
Speaker 15: Took them a while to figure that one out, and

2121
01:55:56,960 --> 01:56:03,000
Speaker 15: I think now Terry kind of regretted. I think almost

2122
01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:09,200
Speaker 15: immediately that emotional decision that he made. It'll go under

2123
01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:11,880
Speaker 15: the heading of what you guys like to call will

2124
01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:17,240
Speaker 15: never know, but I think Brady was probably all along

2125
01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:23,600
Speaker 15: the intended candidate, and the search is almost like a

2126
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:29,120
Speaker 15: cya or a just a smokescreen for that hiring so

2127
01:56:29,200 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 15: they can substantiate what they did. I disagree with Brownie

2128
01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 15: on Terry being able to make a big decision like this,

2129
01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:45,240
Speaker 15: because he makes big business decisions. It's almost like an

2130
01:56:45,360 --> 01:56:52,640
Speaker 15: apple and oranges kind of thing almost. I think he's

2131
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 15: really more of a business person. He showed his cards

2132
01:56:56,840 --> 01:57:01,720
Speaker 15: in the press conference when he's by name a bunch

2133
01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:05,320
Speaker 15: of people on Dean's staff. I almost wonder if Kerry

2134
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:09,000
Speaker 15: wasn't a little afraid if he had to do something,

2135
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:11,920
Speaker 15: if he went with the nuts and bolts, the coach,

2136
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:16,400
Speaker 15: he was covered. If he got rid of Bean, he

2137
01:57:16,440 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 15: would lose an impressive, admittedly business staff that he seems

2138
01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 15: to know pretty well, and I think that's really his

2139
01:57:25,320 --> 01:57:30,000
Speaker 15: four K when you get down to it, and I

2140
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 15: think last I would say, I'm not sure of the

2141
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:41,120
Speaker 15: protocols here, but Brady is great, maybe the greatest quarterback

2142
01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 15: for two reasons, talent and smarts. And I think the

2143
01:57:46,320 --> 01:57:49,520
Speaker 15: biggest single thing we could do to help the Bills

2144
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 15: moving forward would be to get rid of that fifty

2145
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:58,839
Speaker 15: six million dollar cap hit. And Josh needs to step

2146
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 15: up while he's still young and take one for the

2147
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:07,800
Speaker 15: team like Brady and Tom always was ready to surround

2148
01:58:07,880 --> 01:58:11,320
Speaker 15: himself with talent, and he took a financial hit to

2149
01:58:11,400 --> 01:58:16,040
Speaker 15: do that. And I think that's what maybe is the

2150
01:58:16,080 --> 01:58:20,240
Speaker 15: next step going forward. Let's look at that cap because

2151
01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:25,240
Speaker 15: otherwise we're going nowhere. So thanks for taking Like Carl,

2152
01:58:25,800 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 15: I'll hang up and listen.

2153
01:58:27,240 --> 01:58:31,680
Speaker 2: You've bet Kirk, I'll respectively disagree with you. You can

2154
01:58:31,840 --> 01:58:34,720
Speaker 2: believe what you want to believe. I don't think you

2155
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 2: interview nine head coaching candidates. If your plan all along

2156
01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:43,880
Speaker 2: was to hire Joe Brady as your head coach, you're.

2157
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:45,560
Speaker 3: Probably doing four or five tops.

2158
01:58:45,760 --> 01:58:48,440
Speaker 2: You're not going to the links that they went to

2159
01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:54,879
Speaker 2: to interview nine guys. I think they conducted an honest

2160
01:58:54,920 --> 01:59:00,440
Speaker 2: and open search, and what they pulled out of those

2161
01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:04,120
Speaker 2: interviews led them to Brady. Whether you think it's right, wrong,

2162
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:06,600
Speaker 2: or indifferent, Whether you think it was rigged from the beginning,

2163
01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:08,920
Speaker 2: that's your opinion, and I guess you're entitled to it.

2164
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:10,880
Speaker 2: But I don't think you interviewed nine candidates if that

2165
01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:13,480
Speaker 2: was your plan all along, that's right.

2166
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:17,360
Speaker 4: I do not think that it is the CAP that

2167
01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:21,000
Speaker 4: has kept the Bills from getting over them over the top.

2168
01:59:21,080 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 4: I don't think the CAP is what caused them not

2169
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:26,040
Speaker 4: to be the one. There were the sixth seed instead

2170
01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:28,440
Speaker 4: of the one seed this year. I don't think it

2171
01:59:28,480 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 4: was the Cap that did that. I don't think it's

2172
01:59:30,760 --> 01:59:34,160
Speaker 4: Josh Allen's paycheck that dictates their win loss record and

2173
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:38,520
Speaker 4: the roster around him. I can't see them going into

2174
01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:40,800
Speaker 4: the one seed in Denver and playing the way they

2175
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:43,120
Speaker 4: did and having a loss that happened like it did

2176
01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:46,640
Speaker 4: and not think that that loss. And you can say

2177
01:59:46,640 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 4: it was the catch non catch all of that, and

2178
01:59:48,520 --> 01:59:52,200
Speaker 4: you're probably right, but this is a team that the

2179
01:59:52,280 --> 01:59:55,320
Speaker 4: ripple effects of problems they had in the regular season

2180
01:59:58,640 --> 02:00:01,720
Speaker 4: resonate through the playoff. And then end up making them

2181
02:00:01,760 --> 02:00:06,080
Speaker 4: three road games in the playoffs instead of two home games, and.

2182
02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:08,880
Speaker 2: Rams found themselves in the same predicament. They had to

2183
02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:10,880
Speaker 2: win three road games in the playoffs to get to.

2184
02:00:10,920 --> 02:00:11,400
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl.

2185
02:00:11,480 --> 02:00:14,520
Speaker 4: They won two and you could have should have would

2186
02:00:14,520 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 4: have could have won too. But they still got to

2187
02:00:16,240 --> 02:00:18,880
Speaker 4: go into New England after that and play and that's

2188
02:00:18,920 --> 02:00:26,160
Speaker 4: not a given. So I think the problems that Sean

2189
02:00:26,320 --> 02:00:28,720
Speaker 4: McDermott brought to the table, and I don't know that

2190
02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:30,840
Speaker 4: they're you know, there's anything tangible you can put on

2191
02:00:30,880 --> 02:00:34,240
Speaker 4: it that we would know about. Maybe he has some

2192
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:39,360
Speaker 4: guardrails in place when they're trying to build the roster

2193
02:00:39,480 --> 02:00:42,360
Speaker 4: for Brandon Bean saying listen, I want to see the

2194
02:00:42,480 --> 02:00:44,680
Speaker 4: profile of the players you want to bring in. And

2195
02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:47,600
Speaker 4: I'm I'm if anybody's got a speeding tick, and I'm

2196
02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:51,560
Speaker 4: not I'm not letting them on the roster. I'm being facetious,

2197
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:57,800
Speaker 4: of course, But those kind of ripple effects, you know,

2198
02:00:58,040 --> 02:01:04,440
Speaker 4: they manifest themselves in many different ways. Maybe there was

2199
02:01:04,480 --> 02:01:07,720
Speaker 4: a disconnect between the coaching staff and the personnel department

2200
02:01:08,400 --> 02:01:11,320
Speaker 4: about what they thought and who could play who couldn't play,

2201
02:01:11,640 --> 02:01:16,360
Speaker 4: and the roster was hampered because of that. Either way,

2202
02:01:16,400 --> 02:01:18,320
Speaker 4: if you don't like this roster and you think the

2203
02:01:18,440 --> 02:01:21,800
Speaker 4: roster stinks, there's no way you get to the division

2204
02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:24,200
Speaker 4: round of the playoffs every year with a crappy roster.

2205
02:01:25,080 --> 02:01:27,600
Speaker 4: You can't do it. And I don't care how good

2206
02:01:27,720 --> 02:01:30,800
Speaker 4: Josh is. And you can say he had nobody to

2207
02:01:30,840 --> 02:01:32,840
Speaker 4: throw to. Okay, if he had nobody to throw to,

2208
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 4: they're not a top five offense. And you're saying Joe

2209
02:01:38,440 --> 02:01:40,800
Speaker 4: Brady is so predictable, now, well, that's because they got

2210
02:01:40,840 --> 02:01:43,320
Speaker 4: the number one rushing defense in the rushing offense in

2211
02:01:43,360 --> 02:01:47,240
Speaker 4: the league, and they're number one in EPA, they're number

2212
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:53,920
Speaker 4: one in two or three categories across the league.

2213
02:01:54,760 --> 02:01:57,480
Speaker 2: And since twenty twenty four, Josh Allen has more offensive

2214
02:01:57,520 --> 02:01:59,120
Speaker 2: touchdowns than anybody else in football.

2215
02:01:59,200 --> 02:02:05,160
Speaker 4: So if their roster's creuddy, you don't do that, even

2216
02:02:05,200 --> 02:02:07,200
Speaker 4: if with a great quarterback, you don't do that with

2217
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:11,400
Speaker 4: a bad roster. So there's some disconnect there between the

2218
02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:13,400
Speaker 4: guys they bring in and what they can get out

2219
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:15,600
Speaker 4: of them and when they get in these games. And

2220
02:02:15,640 --> 02:02:18,640
Speaker 4: one of the callers alluded to it today, you're doing

2221
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:22,680
Speaker 4: fantastic against the Denver Broncos and all of a sudden,

2222
02:02:22,720 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 4: when the game gets tight, the guy that you didn't

2223
02:02:25,800 --> 02:02:28,960
Speaker 4: want to get open gets opened consistently on the final drive.

2224
02:02:30,240 --> 02:02:34,960
Speaker 4: There's something in that, and that's what has plagued this

2225
02:02:35,040 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 4: franchise over the last six years. When you get into

2226
02:02:37,520 --> 02:02:41,960
Speaker 4: these tight win or go home games, they go home,

2227
02:02:42,160 --> 02:02:42,760
Speaker 4: they go home.

2228
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:46,720
Speaker 3: Let's go to Aaron in Attica. Next, what's up Aeron?

2229
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:51,720
Speaker 29: Hey, how you guys doing good? They wanted the comments

2230
02:02:51,840 --> 02:02:55,160
Speaker 29: on the fact that the last few years, Joe Bray,

2231
02:02:55,400 --> 02:02:58,120
Speaker 29: obviously since he's been offensive coordinator, has been up in

2232
02:02:58,160 --> 02:03:00,160
Speaker 29: the booth calling plays and you're calling the call. Then

2233
02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:03,000
Speaker 29: said that he's obviously going to keep calling plays. Well,

2234
02:03:03,040 --> 02:03:05,480
Speaker 29: it's a lot different. Anybody that's called plays understand, it's

2235
02:03:05,480 --> 02:03:07,480
Speaker 29: a lot of different being up in the booths compared

2236
02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:08,840
Speaker 29: to being down on the field and being the head

2237
02:03:08,880 --> 02:03:10,160
Speaker 29: coach and now having to deal with all the things

2238
02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:12,320
Speaker 29: that Brownie you talked about, yep, having.

2239
02:03:12,160 --> 02:03:12,600
Speaker 18: To deal with.

2240
02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:14,600
Speaker 29: So I wanted to hear what you guys had to

2241
02:03:15,040 --> 02:03:17,560
Speaker 29: say about that. And then also the only other thing

2242
02:03:17,720 --> 02:03:21,280
Speaker 29: was was about the press conference. I think why everybody

2243
02:03:21,440 --> 02:03:24,360
Speaker 29: is so disgusted about the press conferences that everybody could

2244
02:03:24,360 --> 02:03:27,080
Speaker 29: tell that they were just being being lied to. I mean,

2245
02:03:27,120 --> 02:03:29,560
Speaker 29: you get your trade back twice in the same draft.

2246
02:03:29,600 --> 02:03:33,040
Speaker 29: And then Pegoula says that, oh, he doesn't know if

2247
02:03:33,200 --> 02:03:35,160
Speaker 29: being would have made the pick. Well, just just be

2248
02:03:35,280 --> 02:03:37,720
Speaker 29: quiet and let be into his thing. But anyway, I'll

2249
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:38,440
Speaker 29: let you guys come in.

2250
02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:41,280
Speaker 2: And I think, yeah, I don't think we know yet

2251
02:03:42,240 --> 02:03:44,600
Speaker 2: if Joe Brady's calling plays as the head coach.

2252
02:03:44,840 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 4: Evin Washburn, our guest and the sideline reporter for the game,

2253
02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:51,320
Speaker 4: said he anticipates that Joe Brady would continue to call plays.

2254
02:03:51,360 --> 02:03:53,560
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure. Yeah, because we've heard from two

2255
02:03:53,600 --> 02:04:00,320
Speaker 4: different sources, national sources that Joe Brady ast an a

2256
02:04:00,440 --> 02:04:02,840
Speaker 4: part of the interview process that had to do with

2257
02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:05,960
Speaker 4: the head coach being more of a CEO type of

2258
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:10,480
Speaker 4: role player in the organization.

2259
02:04:10,720 --> 02:04:14,080
Speaker 2: So his delineation of duties now he has that map

2260
02:04:14,200 --> 02:04:16,560
Speaker 2: down clearly appealed to the Bills brass.

2261
02:04:16,440 --> 02:04:18,920
Speaker 4: Right, which means whether he calls plays or not, It'll

2262
02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:21,520
Speaker 4: be interesting to see either the Bills love the fact

2263
02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:23,240
Speaker 4: that he was Yeah, he's a CEO, but I'm gonna

2264
02:04:23,280 --> 02:04:26,200
Speaker 4: call plays, or if I'm the CEO, no, I've got

2265
02:04:26,240 --> 02:04:27,800
Speaker 4: a guy to call that I got other things I'm

2266
02:04:27,840 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 4: thinking about on I'm managing the game, not the offense,

2267
02:04:30,600 --> 02:04:33,960
Speaker 4: not the defense. So I think I don't know that

2268
02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:38,160
Speaker 4: I'm convinced having heard this about head coach, because CEO

2269
02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:42,400
Speaker 4: seems to me above play caller. Right, the CEO is

2270
02:04:42,440 --> 02:04:45,080
Speaker 4: a guy who doesn't call plays, and the fact that

2271
02:04:45,160 --> 02:04:47,640
Speaker 4: he aced the head coach as CEO portion of the

2272
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:50,840
Speaker 4: interview process says he would not do that.

2273
02:04:51,280 --> 02:04:51,400
Speaker 3: Now.

2274
02:04:51,440 --> 02:04:54,480
Speaker 4: I may be wrong. There may be another rationale to

2275
02:04:54,520 --> 02:04:57,920
Speaker 4: get to that same point, but to me, out of

2276
02:04:57,960 --> 02:04:59,960
Speaker 4: the gate, that's what I see. So I don't think

2277
02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:03,760
Speaker 4: Joe Brady will at this point. He may, but to me,

2278
02:05:04,520 --> 02:05:06,760
Speaker 4: CEO is not play caller.

2279
02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:11,240
Speaker 2: I would tend to agree. So we'll have to see

2280
02:05:11,280 --> 02:05:14,400
Speaker 2: what it looks like and what decisions Joe Brady will

2281
02:05:14,520 --> 02:05:16,600
Speaker 2: make as head coach. Is he's just going to operate

2282
02:05:16,680 --> 02:05:19,480
Speaker 2: and handle the head coaching duties on game day. Maybe

2283
02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:22,920
Speaker 2: call a small package like Marv did on fourth downs.

2284
02:05:22,960 --> 02:05:24,320
Speaker 2: You know he used to do the short yard that's

2285
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:26,960
Speaker 2: right for you guys. Maybe he does something like that, right,

2286
02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:28,840
Speaker 2: and maybe he leaves the rest of the play call

2287
02:05:29,360 --> 02:05:30,560
Speaker 2: to an offensive coordinator.

2288
02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:32,440
Speaker 4: It's a good idea. It was a good idea. When

2289
02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:33,800
Speaker 4: Marv did it, it made a lot of sense. And

2290
02:05:33,880 --> 02:05:35,920
Speaker 4: here's what we're talking about it. Like the head like

2291
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:37,840
Speaker 4: Joe Brady, if we're going to do what we're talking about,

2292
02:05:38,200 --> 02:05:44,400
Speaker 4: Joe Brady would say, whoever it is, offensive coordinator, you

2293
02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:47,200
Speaker 4: call the plays. Go and when we get inside, when

2294
02:05:47,240 --> 02:05:50,920
Speaker 4: we get a short yardage third and one, third and two,

2295
02:05:51,560 --> 02:05:54,960
Speaker 4: fourth and one, fourth and goal, third and goal or

2296
02:05:55,080 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 4: inside the ten yard line where it's first in goal,

2297
02:05:57,880 --> 02:06:00,120
Speaker 4: I'll call those plays. Because I have this package in

2298
02:06:00,200 --> 02:06:02,280
Speaker 4: personnel groupings I want to I'm gonna prepare for that.

2299
02:06:02,800 --> 02:06:05,040
Speaker 4: So when they get into that, the head coach will

2300
02:06:05,080 --> 02:06:07,640
Speaker 4: pull out his play sheet and he'll make the calls

2301
02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:10,920
Speaker 4: and the personnel calls because it takes one big aspect

2302
02:06:10,960 --> 02:06:14,040
Speaker 4: of situational football off the OC's plate and he can

2303
02:06:14,280 --> 02:06:17,080
Speaker 4: more focus on being more creative and getting more stuff

2304
02:06:17,120 --> 02:06:20,880
Speaker 4: in the field. Stuff like that happens, or at least

2305
02:06:20,880 --> 02:06:22,800
Speaker 4: it did in my day. So you could see that

2306
02:06:23,080 --> 02:06:27,040
Speaker 4: happening for Joe Brady and still retain this CEO kind

2307
02:06:27,080 --> 02:06:30,960
Speaker 4: of entity, but still take a little responsibility ownership and

2308
02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:34,800
Speaker 4: help his OC out. All of this is on the table,

2309
02:06:35,680 --> 02:06:38,160
Speaker 4: and it may be that like I said a minute

2310
02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:42,960
Speaker 4: ago his head coach as CEO part of the interview

2311
02:06:43,040 --> 02:06:45,960
Speaker 4: that has been reported that he hit a home run

2312
02:06:46,760 --> 02:06:50,400
Speaker 4: in may be something very different than what we're saying.

2313
02:06:50,480 --> 02:06:52,520
Speaker 4: It may been. No I need to be the CEO,

2314
02:06:52,720 --> 02:06:55,200
Speaker 4: but man, you've got to have your hand in one

2315
02:06:55,320 --> 02:06:57,720
Speaker 4: side of the offense or the other. Even if you're

2316
02:06:57,760 --> 02:06:59,320
Speaker 4: the CEO, that might have been what he hit a

2317
02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:01,920
Speaker 4: home run. It might be a different thing. But to me,

2318
02:07:04,120 --> 02:07:06,240
Speaker 4: it kind of says if he's a CEO, he's above

2319
02:07:06,320 --> 02:07:07,320
Speaker 4: that play caller thing.

2320
02:07:08,120 --> 02:07:10,280
Speaker 3: To Dave in Rochester next, what's up, Dave?

2321
02:07:11,560 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 23: Hey, I'm I'm gonna rally around Brady. I hope for

2322
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:19,440
Speaker 23: the best. And I loved Sean McDermott, but I just

2323
02:07:19,560 --> 02:07:23,960
Speaker 23: sensed a lack of emotion from him, but I thought

2324
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:26,720
Speaker 23: he's a great coach, and I just was wondering what

2325
02:07:26,960 --> 02:07:34,080
Speaker 23: the possibilities are for Brady's replacement as OC. And the

2326
02:07:34,240 --> 02:07:37,960
Speaker 23: last one was I loved Michael Hacket. Was such a

2327
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:41,680
Speaker 23: letdown when he got injured because he seemed to just

2328
02:07:42,800 --> 02:07:47,880
Speaker 23: be such make such an impact on our defense and

2329
02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:50,560
Speaker 23: I was hoping that we get him back somehow.

2330
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:51,680
Speaker 4: Thanks.

2331
02:07:51,760 --> 02:07:54,000
Speaker 23: I'll listen to your response.

2332
02:07:53,880 --> 02:07:55,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's under contract.

2333
02:07:55,320 --> 02:07:57,840
Speaker 2: Obviously, he's got a rehab from a torn achilles Michael

2334
02:07:57,880 --> 02:08:01,160
Speaker 2: Hoyt does. We saw him for a game and a

2335
02:08:01,200 --> 02:08:05,040
Speaker 2: half and he was a microcosm of what befell the

2336
02:08:05,160 --> 02:08:08,960
Speaker 2: defensive unit, which was a myriad of injuries and they

2337
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:11,840
Speaker 2: were shorthanded from start to finish, and I think you

2338
02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:13,760
Speaker 2: have to look at that as part of the reason

2339
02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:22,560
Speaker 2: why the defense had trouble protecting leads at times, you know,

2340
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:26,120
Speaker 2: most notably in the last playoff game. They buckled down

2341
02:08:26,560 --> 02:08:29,000
Speaker 2: I think in the second half, as was kind of

2342
02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:32,240
Speaker 2: their consistent trade all season long. The defense did have

2343
02:08:32,400 --> 02:08:36,960
Speaker 2: very good second halves and it enabled the offense to

2344
02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:39,760
Speaker 2: turn a twenty three to ten halftime deficit into a

2345
02:08:39,800 --> 02:08:44,560
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty three advantage. Scored fourteen unanswered points

2346
02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:47,880
Speaker 2: in the second half of that AFC Divisional playoff, and

2347
02:08:47,960 --> 02:08:49,840
Speaker 2: then it turned into a back and forth game again

2348
02:08:50,400 --> 02:08:52,760
Speaker 2: and they couldn't hang on in overtime and win. And David,

2349
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:54,680
Speaker 2: even though the defense did get the stop that they

2350
02:08:54,760 --> 02:08:55,640
Speaker 2: needed at the beginning of.

2351
02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:59,520
Speaker 4: Overtime, Yeah, David Rochester, you're probably a little bit ahead

2352
02:08:59,520 --> 02:09:02,040
Speaker 4: emotional where a lot of Bills fans are. Yeah, sooner

2353
02:09:02,080 --> 02:09:03,960
Speaker 4: or later, they'll rally around Joe. When he gets in

2354
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:05,800
Speaker 4: front of the microphone, he'll do his best to win

2355
02:09:05,920 --> 02:09:08,640
Speaker 4: over the fan base and his players and the building.

2356
02:09:09,960 --> 02:09:13,800
Speaker 4: And you're right, everybody likes Sean. Everybody loves Sean. He's

2357
02:09:13,840 --> 02:09:20,400
Speaker 4: an outstanding human being, outstanding coach. Everything that he brought

2358
02:09:20,520 --> 02:09:24,520
Speaker 4: to Western New York and the Bill's organization was fantastic.

2359
02:09:24,600 --> 02:09:28,920
Speaker 4: He took this organization from seventeen year playoff drought to

2360
02:09:28,960 --> 02:09:32,360
Speaker 4: the playoffs in year one. It's amazing that he never

2361
02:09:32,400 --> 02:09:34,360
Speaker 4: got into conversation for Coach of the Year for that,

2362
02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:37,560
Speaker 4: but he didn't. But it was time for a change.

2363
02:09:39,760 --> 02:09:44,440
Speaker 4: And everybody's gonna rally around Joe. We'll see. And the

2364
02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:47,240
Speaker 4: interesting part is who is gonna be the offensive coordinator?

2365
02:09:47,240 --> 02:09:49,360
Speaker 4: Who is going to be the defensive coordinator of this team?

2366
02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:56,879
Speaker 4: And you know Mike Hoyt, Yes, that was a crushing

2367
02:09:57,280 --> 02:09:59,320
Speaker 4: injury when he went down.

2368
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:02,480
Speaker 2: Break time for us here one segment ago. We'll see

2369
02:10:02,480 --> 02:10:03,920
Speaker 2: if we can squeeze a phone call or two in

2370
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:05,920
Speaker 2: when we get back here on One Bill's Live, presented

2371
02:10:05,960 --> 02:10:22,680
Speaker 2: by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right back

2372
02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:24,520
Speaker 2: here on One Bill's live and there could be some

2373
02:10:24,720 --> 02:10:28,200
Speaker 2: light shed on a defensive coordinator candidate for the Bills.

2374
02:10:29,240 --> 02:10:33,240
Speaker 2: ESPN is reporting that Broncos defensive pass coordinator Jimmy Leonard

2375
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:36,360
Speaker 2: is expected to be a leading candidate to become the

2376
02:10:36,480 --> 02:10:40,680
Speaker 2: next defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. As we know,

2377
02:10:40,920 --> 02:10:43,360
Speaker 2: Leonard was a former safety for the Bills, but played

2378
02:10:43,440 --> 02:10:47,680
Speaker 2: most of his years in New York and Baltimore. Had

2379
02:10:47,680 --> 02:10:51,080
Speaker 2: a ten year career despite being an undrafted free agent

2380
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:55,280
Speaker 2: with the Broncos from twenty twenty four to the present

2381
02:10:55,720 --> 02:10:59,880
Speaker 2: as defensive backs coach slash pass game coordinator. He also

2382
02:11:00,640 --> 02:11:03,960
Speaker 2: was He spent eight or nine years in the college ranks,

2383
02:11:04,160 --> 02:11:08,000
Speaker 2: most notably as defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach for

2384
02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:11,520
Speaker 2: six seasons for the Wisconsin Badgers. While he was there,

2385
02:11:12,080 --> 02:11:16,520
Speaker 2: his defense ranked first among Power five teams in third

2386
02:11:16,600 --> 02:11:19,960
Speaker 2: down defense with a conversion rate allowed of thirty one percent,

2387
02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:23,400
Speaker 2: total yards allowed two hundred and eighty eight and he

2388
02:11:23,520 --> 02:11:28,120
Speaker 2: was also top five in scoring defense at eighteen points

2389
02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:31,040
Speaker 2: per game. And the other thing is, I know he's

2390
02:11:31,080 --> 02:11:33,600
Speaker 2: a teacher because I watched him here firsthand as a

2391
02:11:33,720 --> 02:11:37,960
Speaker 2: player teach George Wilson how to play safety.

2392
02:11:38,040 --> 02:11:39,920
Speaker 3: After he came into the league as a wide receiver.

2393
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:42,880
Speaker 4: Jim Leonard is the guy I spoke about yesterday. I

2394
02:11:42,960 --> 02:11:46,520
Speaker 4: went to speak to some guys at Wisconsin about Lee

2395
02:11:46,600 --> 02:11:48,520
Speaker 4: Evans and how he was when he was in collegiate

2396
02:11:48,640 --> 02:11:51,560
Speaker 4: and Barry Alvarez, a former head coach and ad at

2397
02:11:51,600 --> 02:11:53,760
Speaker 4: that time, said, yeah, we got some guy. Go who

2398
02:11:53,760 --> 02:11:55,080
Speaker 4: you got coming out? He goes, well, is this kid?

2399
02:11:55,160 --> 02:11:57,320
Speaker 4: Nobody's gonna draft him? But he can play and I

2400
02:11:57,360 --> 02:11:59,440
Speaker 4: think he's going to be awesome. His name's Jim Leonard.

2401
02:12:00,080 --> 02:12:02,400
Speaker 4: Sure enough. Yet Jimmy Leonard ended up here in Buffalo

2402
02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:05,680
Speaker 4: and played and did all the things that you saw.

2403
02:12:06,880 --> 02:12:10,440
Speaker 4: He's one of those guys that has been highly touted

2404
02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:13,320
Speaker 4: as a coach, a high level coach for a long time.

2405
02:12:13,480 --> 02:12:16,600
Speaker 4: Even as a collegiate player. He was different upstairs, and

2406
02:12:16,640 --> 02:12:19,280
Speaker 4: I'm mean upstairs. That means in his mind he has

2407
02:12:19,360 --> 02:12:22,400
Speaker 4: the head for it. So kind of a full circle

2408
02:12:22,440 --> 02:12:25,800
Speaker 4: moment for me hearing that guy might be a candidate

2409
02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:27,840
Speaker 4: or is a candidate for the head coaching Earth leading

2410
02:12:28,080 --> 02:12:31,560
Speaker 4: candidate for the defensive coordinator job here in Buffalo. That's interesting.

2411
02:12:32,640 --> 02:12:35,760
Speaker 4: He's a coach and he's a high level coach. Very

2412
02:12:35,800 --> 02:12:36,520
Speaker 4: well respected.

2413
02:12:36,760 --> 02:12:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, began his playing career here in two thousand and five,

2414
02:12:40,040 --> 02:12:42,520
Speaker 2: as we said, as an undrafted rookie free agent signing,

2415
02:12:43,200 --> 02:12:47,160
Speaker 2: and was here through the two thousand and seven season

2416
02:12:47,880 --> 02:12:50,760
Speaker 2: and played in a total of thirty eight games in

2417
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:55,720
Speaker 2: a Bill's uniform, and then moved on to Baltimore for

2418
02:12:55,800 --> 02:12:59,840
Speaker 2: a season with Rex Ryan and then followed Rex to

2419
02:13:00,040 --> 02:13:02,040
Speaker 2: the Jets when he became head coach of the Jets,

2420
02:13:02,400 --> 02:13:05,400
Speaker 2: played there for four seasons, and then came back here

2421
02:13:05,480 --> 02:13:09,280
Speaker 2: briefly to Buffalo in twenty thirteen when he played in

2422
02:13:09,960 --> 02:13:12,360
Speaker 2: seven started seven games, played in sixteen.

2423
02:13:12,480 --> 02:13:14,520
Speaker 3: So there's your Buffalo connection.

2424
02:13:15,800 --> 02:13:19,520
Speaker 2: ESPN reporting Jim Leonard is the leading candidate to become

2425
02:13:19,960 --> 02:13:22,400
Speaker 2: the Bill's next defensive coordinator. We'll see if it happens

2426
02:13:22,480 --> 02:13:24,240
Speaker 2: or if there are other candidates in the mix, but

2427
02:13:24,320 --> 02:13:28,320
Speaker 2: that's the latest. I hope you enjoyed this three hour

2428
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:33,240
Speaker 2: special edition. As Joe Brady is the new head coach

2429
02:13:33,640 --> 02:13:36,520
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. No word yet on when there

2430
02:13:36,600 --> 02:13:38,840
Speaker 2: will be a press conference, but we would imagine it

2431
02:13:38,840 --> 02:13:41,000
Speaker 2: would be in the coming days, certainly before the week

2432
02:13:41,120 --> 02:13:45,240
Speaker 2: is out, provided everybody's travel schedule can get on board here,

2433
02:13:46,040 --> 02:13:48,440
Speaker 2: but we would anticipate that sometime this week, so stay

2434
02:13:48,520 --> 02:13:51,640
Speaker 2: tuned to Buffalo Bills dot com for any and all

2435
02:13:51,720 --> 02:13:57,560
Speaker 2: updates on that going forward. But here we are, seventeenth

2436
02:13:57,600 --> 02:13:58,720
Speaker 2: head coach in Bill's history.

2437
02:13:58,760 --> 02:14:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you make of it?
