Speaker 1: Bills training camp starts, and then we know after that

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: the preseason and then this to me, the most highly

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: anticipated regular season that the Bills have had since you

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: played Steve, So you got to get in the vacation

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: time in June and July when there's not much going

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: on in the TA. Take a free time now, because

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: it's not you're not gonna want to take it later on.

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: You're right, it's it's gonna be one of those years,

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: I think, and we all think, I guess. But the

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: interesting thing to me, and you're right, it is time

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: for golf. The Open Championship is on TV and it

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: starts like one am, yeah, which it's a plus on

30
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: a minus. I mean, you can watch it any time

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: of the you know, you stay up late and get

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: up early, and it's on till four this afternoon and

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: it's and it's I love that. That's one of my

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: favorite things ever. I like watching golf. I love playing

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: it more. But um, I can tell you what I'm

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna be doing this weekend. It's not gonna be NFL stuff. Yeah,

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: it's always nice to be able to just wake up

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: at six, seven o'clock in the morning, flip and it's

39
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: on and they're already halfway through the around. It's long tournament.

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: You don't have to wait until three four o'clock for

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: it to be on TV. That's right, Christop Deprasso. You're

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: a Medinah guy. You grew up here as a national

43
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: reporter for CBS Sports doing all that stuff, and you

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: got season tickets though, right yeah, oh yeah, yeah, my

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: dad and I still have season tickets. Which that's what's

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: good is that I'm not strictly a Bills writer, because

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: if that was the case, I would probably forego the

48
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: season tickets. I read about the NFL Draft mostly, but

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: being born and raised in a Bills family, I know

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: the Bill's the best. Yeah, that's yeah, that's It's easier

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: to do if you live in here, right, I mean,

52
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: because how could I not. It's a must, It's a must.

53
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: We've got this thing going on seven one six day.

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: We've got the t shirts on today. Seven Give seven

55
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: one six starts tonight at six fifteen PM. A ton

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: of stuff going on around it. A lot of companies

57
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: are involved. If if you've got a five or one

58
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: C three or a charity that you're involved with, chances

59
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: are it's probably on the list of four hundred and

60
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: thirty one entities that are going to be a did

61
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: by Give seven one six dot org. You can go

62
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: online and make a contribution to a specific charity that's

63
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: on the list, or to just the in general wish

64
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: will the money will be divvied up equally amongst all

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: of them. And it's that's the T shirt. You can

66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: get a T shirt if you if you donate at

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: least seventy one dollars and sixty cents. I think the

68
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: significance there is obvious. Seventy one dollars and sixty cents.

69
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: And if you do it at six fifteen PM tonight

70
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: and you're one of the first two thousand people to

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: do that, you get a shirt just like the one

72
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: Chris and I are wearing today here in the studio.

73
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: It's got Let's Go buffalo on the back. It's got

74
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: a nice unique logo on the front with the Bill

75
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Sabers logo just above the seven one sixth things. Pretty cool,

76
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: I go, I must have. Yeah, it's good shirt I

77
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: must have in my arsenal. After giving away probably one hundred,

78
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: I probably have at least fifty left. The problem is

79
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: when you when you purge your closet. See now I

80
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: don't have T shirts that I want to wear to

81
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: do the yard work in right. Got to happen that

82
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: you don't worry about oil, grease, gas, whatever else is

83
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: on it. Now. I like all of them too much

84
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: to like wear them. I know they're right because I'll

85
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: get rid of them if you get If you get

86
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: rid of the ones you don't like, well then you

87
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: don't have any to trash. That's a problem. So this

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: one I can't trash quite. This has got to go.

89
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: I got to have this one for a while before sure, right, yeah, yeah,

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: that's weird. That's my plan anyway. Yeah, how many T

91
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: shirts do you have a lot? And you gotta have

92
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: those five to ten where you're bumming around the house,

93
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: yard work, mowing the lawn. There's rips in them. You

94
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: have the five ten, fifteen years, you got to have

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: those shirts in theres you you're writing for CBS Sports

96
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: and you're a draft guy. What do you? I mean?

97
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: All right, just that time of you, what are you

98
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: watching college? But what are you doing? I'm well, I'm

99
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: trying to take your advice. June July, taking some time off.

100
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of unplugging a little bit. But once we

101
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: get into August, I start really diving into the next

102
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: draft class. The twenty twenty two draft class, a lot

103
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: of college football, but then again, being a Bill's guy

104
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: and still writing for a lot of NFL things at

105
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: CBS Sports, certainly every Sunday it is a twelve hour

106
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: marathon in front of the TV. Right, Yeah, that's like

107
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: the rest of us. Yeah, yeah, you're nothing special power

108
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: because we're all right there with you. Right, We're on

109
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. We're here for the next three hours.

110
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Mark Scofield of USA Today.

111
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: He's going to come on around the two o'clock hour

112
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: in about two hours. He works for the USA Today,

113
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: their Touchdown Wire. He also has a YouTube series called

114
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: Summer Scouting, which you might find interesting. We're gonna ask

115
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: him about. He's got some rankings and some lists. We

116
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: did this ranking and list thing yesterday about how interested

117
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: people are in the off season about rankings and lists

118
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: and all that. And half the people are interested because

119
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: this nowadays the Bills are involved. Half of them are

120
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: interested because they're NFL fans or just because the Bills

121
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: are involved, and the other half is like, I could

122
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: not possibly care less. Yeah, this is ranking season where

123
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: like you're saying, there's not really much going on, And

124
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: we were talking about it off air that a lot

125
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: of times, like Josh Allen quarterback rankings, and I know

126
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: we're going to get to that with Mark Schofield. It's

127
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of splitting here as if he's a top five quarterback,

128
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: at top four quarterback, at top seven quarterback. But I

129
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: think in general and just being a writer, if you

130
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: can put out your top ten quarterbacks, your power rankings,

131
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 1: those are always going to garner a fair amount of interest,

132
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: regardless of the time of the season. So we only

133
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: got to get it through the next thirteen days as

134
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: of it was announced today. Two weeks from yesterday, training

135
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: camp opens. It's pumped, oh so good. July twenty eighth

136
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: at ten am. Now tickets are gonna go on. You're

00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,640

138
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. This is not in Rochester. Of course, we've

139
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: been down that road. They Brandon being Sean McDermott love

140
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: going to Rochester. They like getting the team away as

141
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: a team building thing. I get all of that and

142
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I had been a part of those

143
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: things when we're in Fredonia, and also my first year

144
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: in the league, the Houston Oilers would go to San Angelo, Texas.

145
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: I went to camp twice in San Angelo, Texas. That's

146
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: getting away. Yeah, that's a ten now or drive from

147
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Houston West and you don't see anything between Houston and there.

148
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean it is Mesquite. That's getting away. But they

149
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: do like it. But it's not gonna happen because of

150
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, we're still winding down from the pandemic. So

151
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,000

Speaker 1: NFL protocols, now that the players and coaches, I say,

189
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,720

191
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,600

192
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: the media, not for general fans. There's not going to

193
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: be any autographs at these practices because of COVID. Yeah,

194
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: so those three practices inside high Mark Stadium. Yeah, Saturday,

195
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: July thirty first, Saturday August seventh, and then September first.

196
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: So those are the three practices inside Bill stadi It's Saturday,

197
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: July thirty feet, the next Saturday, the seventh, and the

198
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: next Wednesday, the first, so August seventh, and September first,

199
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: which is three weeks later. That would be right after

200
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: or right before their last preseason game against the ground

201
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: cut time, right right around that last cut time. So

202
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: there you go, and that's you know, all the rules

203
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: are going to be remained in place for the players

204
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: and all that they've got. They've got all the protocols

205
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: in places that we don't know what this is going

206
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: to look like long term yet during a regular season

207
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: and all that, certainly the vaccination rates are going to

208
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: make be an issue, but that for now, everything's rolling along,

209
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: no question about it. The league's moving along. It's gonna

210
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: be a lot different for a lot of teams than

211
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: it was last year. Whoever's vaccinated, whichever teams are vaccinated

212
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: at an eighty five percent rate, that's going to make

213
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: a big difference for the way they can do business

214
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: on a day to day thing. But for us, and

215
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: for what we're talking about here, three open practices for

216
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: the Bills on consecutives, two consecutive Saturdays and then a

00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: And how awesome after everything that everyone went through in

225
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: the last year, being able to go to training camp

226
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: practices again. Those are so fun and to see the

227
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: one on one battles and see how the depth chart

228
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: is kind of shaking out. To be able to get

229
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: back and get a little taste of high Mark Stadium

230
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: before it's a packed house against the Steelers in September.

231
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: It's awesome. I do not know how many tickets are available.

232
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think they would like give out

233
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: seventy one thousand probably, I don't think. I don't know, well,

234
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I'm sure you could get

235
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: seventy one thousand bills fans to show up for training

236
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: camp after not being in the stadium last year. But

237
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: but here's two I mean, yeah, Hi Mark Stadium. All

238

Speaker 1: the practices are going to be on these asked practice

239
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: fields by the field House until the three that go

240
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: to high Mark Stadium, and those will be uh, those

241
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,559

244
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: schedules listed all the way down. I mean, I got

245
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of them listed, but only three of them

246
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: are going to be open to the public. But you

247
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: can get tickets for it. They're free, but you gotta

248
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: have one to get in. So Chris Trapasso, Steve Tasker

249
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: here for the next couple of hours. We've We've got

250
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: a question if you want to call in and talk

251
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: about this, because it's really an interesting question, particularly today.

252
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: Yesterday Chris uh Me and Thad Brown spoke about Josh

253
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: Allen as extension and all that and what's going on

254
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: with him, and we asked about, you know, how seriously

255
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: people took the the rankings and polls. This is a

256
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: simple one and this is one that Bills fans can

257
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: kind of get their mind around. And the question is

258
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 1: this because we all feel like this is gonna be

259
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: a good year for the team, and I agree and

260
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm telling people privately, I think they're gonna be awesome.

261
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: But what seeing is how the offense was so good

262
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: last year. What is it going to help Josh Allen

263
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: in the Bills offense the most in twenty twenty one?

264
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: What's gonna put them at an even higher level than

265
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: they were last year? What is gonna help Josh Allen

266
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills offense and the most in twenty

267
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: twenty one? What's gonna be the biggest thing. You can

268
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: call us at eight oh three oh five fifty or

269
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty, or you

270
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: can tweet at us at one Bills Live, or you

271
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: can get in on the conversation. We'll take your calls

272
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: if you want to get in on this as well.

273
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: And off the top, I mean, we may as well

274
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: just address it since we put it out there to

275
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: the listeners. What are you think is going to help

276
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: the offense most this year? I think the depth at

277
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: the pass catcher spot. To lose John Brown, who is

278
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: dinged up last season. Wasn't that same speed, sir, that

279
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: we saw the previous years in Buffalo? To have a

280
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: mean Neil Sanders. I know they're really excited about Isaiah Hodgens,

281
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: their sixth round pick last year, who was injured for

282
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: all of his rookie season. He's a big body, good

283
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: route runner, catches everything. To still have Stefon Diggs, of course,

284
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, Gabriel Davison. Year two, you draft mark Quis Stevenson.

285
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: They have so much depth at wide receiver, and then

286
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: dust and Knox entering year three. This is a past

287
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: predicated offense. Josh Allen was across the board completion percentage, yardage,

288
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, touchdowns, one of the best quarterbacks in

289
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: football last season got MVP votes. To have even more

290
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: depth at the pass catcher spot, to be able to

291
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: mix and match based on which kind of defense you're

292
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: gonna play. I think the continuity there and then adding

293
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: more pieces to not just be good in October and November,

294
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: but into December and January, and also I think in February. Yeah,

295
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: it's interesting too, because we put this out there and

296
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: we're already getting a ton of feedback from people who

297
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: listen to the show and watch our Twitter account. One

298
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: of the first ones came man that you and I

299
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: had spoken about before we went on the air from

300
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: RJ from the tweet sheet. Tweet sheet brought to you

301
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company the

302
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. R J says this, and I think this

303
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: is a spot on a defense that creates turnovers and

304
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: putting the ball back in Josh Allen's hands. I think

305
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: that is I think that's really gonna be big. The

306
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: moves they have made, particularly in the front end of

307
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: their defense. I can't wait to see those guys play.

308
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see Rousseau and Boogie Basham and

309
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Starlo to lal At Oliver in his third season. I'm

310
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: really excited about it. Yeah, I think that's huge to

311
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: give your offense short fields and we know the Bills

312
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: can hit those splash plays. But also that I think

313
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: Brian Dabo, the offensive coordinator coming over from the Patriots,

314
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: that's an offense that likes to dink and dunk the

315
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: football down the field. And if you can give Josh

316
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: Allen the ball at the fifty yard line, they don't

317
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: have to have a seventy five yard drive eight yard

318
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: drive to give them those short fields to create more

319
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: turn overs. That will also help this offense a great deal.

320
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: And beyond all the guys that you mentioned on the

321
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: defensive side, I think the signing of fiel Obada was

322
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: very underrated. Not a lot of talk about it, the

323
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: fact that he had thirty quarterback pressures last season and

324
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: that would have been third among Bill's edge rushers, just

325
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: behind Jerry Hughes and Mario Edison. So to not only

326
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: just plug in your first in your second round pick,

327
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: do you feel really good about as young talented players

328
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: to have a veteran that can be part of the

329
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: rotation in that pass rush. We know that pass rush

330
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: helps create those interceptions that really has a ripple effect

331
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: on the entire team. Yeah, I've said this. I said

332
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: this yesterday and it's becoming apparent to me. This is the

333
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: the coaching staff's got a lot of confidence in what

334
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: it can do for players and get what it can

335
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: get out of players. I've said it. They One of

336
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: the best things about the Sean McDermott era has been

337
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: the coach's ability, to staff's ability and Sean mcdermot's ability

338
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: as well to really squeeze renounced the potential out of

339
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: a roster wherever it is. The first roster they had

340
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, a week before the season, people were

341
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: saying they're tanking. They get to the playoffs with that roster.

342
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: They get what's what's there to be gotten out of

343
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: a roster. They get it, which is great to hear

344
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: because now they're drafting guys like Greg Russo and Boogie Basham,

345
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown at Oliver. They've got some guys with Tavius

346
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: Tremaine Josh. Of course, they draft guys with elite physical traits.

347
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: They draft. I mean this fa Obott is a great example.

348
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: That guy looks the part Greg Russo. And I've said

349
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: this laughingly, and I don't mean any disrespect. I'm saying

350
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: it is a joke. The guy is so big, he's

351
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: a circus freak. I'd pay it you could sell tickets

352
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: to see how tall and huge this guy is playing

353
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: defensive end. Yes, you got guys Spencer Brown, same thing.

354
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: These guys are off the charts physically gifted. You get

355
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: a whole roster of those guys and get a coaching

356
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: staff that can squeeze out the potential of those guys.

357
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: You're hard to beat. Yeah, and you when you roll

358
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: this team out, When this team rules out there in

359
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: the preseason, there's gonna be some coaching staffs around the

360
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: division and around like the preseason they're playing the A

361
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: at NFC North Green Bay, Chicago and Detroit. Those coaching

362
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: staffs on those three teams are gonna be going, are

363
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: you kidding you? Look at these guys. Well, that's the

364
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: thing I think when it comes to the draft or

365
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: even signing players that have that are a little bit

366
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: raw but have high upside, we don't see it always

367
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: pan out it's not easy for a coaching staff to

368
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: be able to squeeze out all of that talent. But

369
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: the culture that's in place, the assistant coaches, positional coaches,

370
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: and just Sean McDermott himself, and to have guys like

371
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier and Brian Dable that have been there before.

372
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: It's a pretty unique situation that the Bills have where

373
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: they can say, hey, we're gonna pick this raw quarterback

374
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: or this nineteen year old linebacker or someone in Gregory

375
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Rousseau that had sixteen sacks as a freshman nineteen and

376
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: he hasn't played in so long because we trust that

377
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: we're going to see the best version of him once

378
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: he's in Buffalo. It's true, and it's it's a great

379
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: it's a great trait for a coaching staff to have.

380
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: Maybe it's as important a trade as there is um

381
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: and the continuity they've got on their staff is a plus.

382
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: The fact that now, and we heard this early on

383
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: in Sean mcdermot's career here in Buffalo, in his tenure here,

384
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: he always liked he said it outright. He likes to

385
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: have an old, grizzled veteran in every position. Group you know,

386
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: Pat DeMarco was a big one. Lee Smith was a

387
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: big one. Um. You know he had last year he

388
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: had Josh Norman in the in the in the building,

389
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: and or two years ago and then last year, yeah

390
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: it was last year was Josh Norman. The year before

391
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: that it was now I can't remember. Kevin Johnson came in. Um.

392
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: Just they like to have grizzled veterans in every position.

393
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: Group who can steady the room in every position and say, listen,

394
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: here's how you do it, and here's what I've seen

395
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: great guys be able to do, and they pass it down.

396
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: Now those guys are homegrown. Tredevious White is the grizzled veteran,

397
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: right and you'd like to say that Tremaine Edmonds, but

398
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: him and Milano they're you know, still young, but the

399
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: three just but he's a four year veteran now. So

400
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: some of these guys are now home grown grizzled guys.

401
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: They were confident enough and what they had in Dawson

402
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: Knox last year to trade Lee Smith, let Tyler Croft

403
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: go Hollister comes in. Who is I mean Dawson Knox

404
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: has got a better career numbers than than Hollister does.

405
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: So they've got guys now that they've grown from within.

406
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: You know, these are our guys. You know Devin Singletary,

407
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: you know Matt Bridez now the veteran guy and he's

408
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: a four year guy, and Devizing there's a three year guy. Yeah.

409
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: I think with the pass rush, that's probably the one

410
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: area that I think people wanted to see the Bills

411
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: be better and improve, especially coming off that AFC title game.

412
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: The fact that you still have Jerry Hughes, who to

413
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: me is not only a high energy player, has the

414
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: bend around the corner, but he has the polish game,

415
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: he has the pass rushing moves. Him and Mario Addison,

416
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: they're the perfect almost role models for guys like Aja

417
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: Epinessa and Gregory Russo. Who needs to build that pass

418
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: rushing move arsenal To have those players in those important positions,

419
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: they're your like front end, those are your lead horses.

420
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: But in practice, being able to have Jerry Hughes teach

421
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: those younger players is going to help their maturation process

422
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: speed along a loft fast. Yeah, Because Jerry Hughes is

423
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: a guy who he's a really good pass rusher. He's

424
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: been productive for this team for you know, a long

425
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: time since he got here. Yeah, and he is not

426
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: a guy like Crusoe where he's overly fit. He's good size,

427
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: but he's not a big defense. He's gotta win with technique.

428
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: He's gotta win with technique. And when you see a

429
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: guy who is a veteran like like Jerry when he

430
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: comes off the edge, guys who are trying to learned

431
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: to do it, even if they're not physically gifted or

432
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: different type of player, they understand how important the technique is. Well,

433
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: if a guy who's not that big gets home and

434
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: is so productive at his size, if I do that,

435
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be I'm gonna be unstoppable. That's that's the

436
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: mindset that goes into a player. So I'm gonna learn

437
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: technique like Jerry Hughes has. I'm gonna learn how to

438
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: do this and how to work it and how to

439
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: hone my craft. Because if guys who are not as

440
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: gifted as I am can do that, and I would

441
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: I do that, you know, I'm gonna be one of

442
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: those old I'm gonna be one of those all time grace,

443
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: the Bruce Smiths, the Aaron Donalds, You know the Howie

444
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: Longs of the world and all those you know, the

445
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: great the Deacon Jones of the world. Yeah, one other

446
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: guy that I think is a perfect player to talk

447
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: about that You said Tredevious White being the first pick

448
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: in the Sean McDermott era, that he's become that grizzled

449
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: veteran in the secondary. If you look at his combine numbers,

450
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: he's not some freak of a specimen athletically, but technique

451
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: understanding his zones when he can drift out of his

452
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: own to make a play on the football. His interception

453
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: on Justin Herbert last year it was cover three and

454
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: he drifted to the middle of the field. He's a

455
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: technique guy too, and he has mastered the outside cornerback spot.

456
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: So even if the Bills are not, you know, running

457
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: with a high level secondary opposite Tredevious White at cornerback

458
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: number two or in that nickel spot, Tevis White is

459
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: teaching them in practice and in the preseason games how

460
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: to maximize your talent by having the fundamentals down pat

461
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: and I think it's funny to see Tredevious White going

462
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: from this young, upstart player to now an elite cornerback,

463
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: because he really has been the poster child for this

464
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: culture in Buffalo and getting the best and the most

465
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: out of their talent. Steve Tasker along with Chris Trepasso

Speaker 1: the Bills offense. We'll probably get into a little bit more.

469
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: We had a conversation yesterday about Josh Allen's extension. We

487
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: if we talked about Josh Allen and what's gonna help

488
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the Bills offense most in twenty twenty one,

489
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a great question. I think one of

490
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: the things I've I've been I've been asked a lot

491
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: lately because people are starting to wind up for the season,

492
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: you're starting to look ahead instead of, you know, kind

493
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: of evaluate what's going on in the offseason. They asked

494
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: me about Josh and what I expect from him this season,

495
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: and I expect him to play extremely well, just like

496
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: he did last year. And I said this, and it's

497
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: my assertion that even if he's going to be the

498
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: same guy this year that he was last year, maybe

499
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: better or maybe maybe different in some areas, maybe less

500
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: in some areas, more and other whatever, he's gonna be

501
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: at a high level. But I think I think right now,

502
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: the way I see it, throw this statistical comparison out

503
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: because he may not throw for as many touchdowns, or

504
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: he may not run for as many touchdowns, or he

505
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: may throw a few more interceptions, or he may whatever.

506
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: But he's going to be the same guy, and the

507
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: games and how they fall are going to dictate more

508
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: this difference in statistics than his play. I think he's

509
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: gonna look and feel and act like the exact same

510
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: quarterback he was last year. Maybe he'll get better results,

511
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: maybe he'll get slightly better the same or slightly worse statistically,

512
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: but I think you're gonna see the exact same guy,

513
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: whether his statistics say that or not. Yeah, there's nothing

514
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty that indicates that Josh Allen himself individually

515
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: is going to take a dip. His stats were through

516
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: the roof. But I think to your points, Steve, what's

517
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: why it's a good point is that the Bills defense

518
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: wasn't bad last season, but there were times where it

519
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: struggled a little bit. We just talked about all the

520
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: additions on the defensive side of the ball. Josh Allen

521
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: is most likely going to be in more situations this

522
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: year where he doesn't feel like he needs to put

523
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: the team on his back and score thirty eight points

524
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: or score forty one points to win a football game.

525
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: So that could lead to maybe a few fewer touchdown

526
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: passes or not as many yards per game. And I

527
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: think the Bills could still win thirteen or fourteen games

528
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: in the regular season, and Josh Allen is still going

529
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: to present the same issues for opposing defense. I think

530
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: one of the things as well too. Here's why I

531
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to regress a sixteen You know,

532
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: we're seventeen game regular season this year instead of a

533
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: sixteen game regular season. Josh is coming into his fourth

534
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: year and last year I watched every snap of every

535
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: game multiple times, from the first snap of the season

536
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: to the last snap of the playoffs. He was that guy.

537
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,239
Speaker 1: He was He was that guy. It wasn't like he

538
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: was riding a roller coaster. We're like, what do you do?

539
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't week to week like he was. I hope

540
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: he's okay, I hope he's okay. Good now, he was

541
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: that guy weekend weekend. Now, there were some weeks and

542
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: he didn't throw for three hundred yards and all that,

543
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: but there was that. It was the other team and

544
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: their defense in the matchups, and it's a game yeah,

545
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: it's a game flow. He uh. He did have some

546
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: games that were better than others, but even his bad

547
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: games last year were better than his good games the

548
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: year before. It was it was a completely consistently good

549
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: performance from the first snap of the regular season to

550
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: the last snap of the playoffs, all the way through

551
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And that's why I think that's who he

552
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: is now. One last point on this too, I think

553
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: you can talk about personnel and who they brought in

554
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: the content in the coaching staff. To have Brian Dayble

555
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: not get hired when he was arguably the hottest head

556
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: coaching candidate on the market is gigantic. To elevate Ken

557
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: Dorsey to the pass game coordinator to take a little

558
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: bit off Brian Dable's plate. The Bills have really accepted

559
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: this analytics movement, and we know now that using the

560
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: play action pass and throwing the football on first down

561
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 1: that is the two best ways to maximize the efficiency

562
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: of your offense. Last year, the Bills had the highest

563
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: rate of passes thrown on first down in the entire NFL,

564
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen had the most play action dropbacks. So

565
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: they understand we have this talented quarterback. We have Stefan Daggs.

566
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: We have great personnel, but they're also getting little edges

567
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: with calling the right plays in the right situations. Yeah,

568
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: Brian day Bole was matchful last year at maximizing Josh

569
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: Allen and his abilities. Plus I mean none of us

570
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: knew it. It was interesting for me right from week one,

571
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis was on the field and that was really

572
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: surprising to me, for not only was he on the field,

573
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: he was on the field in four wide sets, which

574
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: to me, that says a lot about Gabe Davis. For sure,

575
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: he not only proved to them he was an NFL

576
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: caliber player, but played well enough in training camp and

577
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: said we got to get him on the field. It's

578
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: the fourth rone pick. Yeah, we gotta get him on

579
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: the field now, like he caught the first pass of

580
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: the season, And that to me was startling as to

581
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: what this coaching staff is willing to do if a

582
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: guy proves himself and what they see and how they

583
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: have how effects, Because when when you're a player on

584
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: a team and you see a coaching staff reward a

585
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: guy like none of these guys know who Gabe Davis

586
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: wasn't before last season, None of his teammates, and then

587
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: to see him come in and boom right from the

588
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: get go, do it and get rewarded for it by

589
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. It really when you look in the

590
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: mirror when you shave in the morning, you're just looking

591
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: at yourself going, you know what, why not me? Ye?

592
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: Why not me? Why what am I doing that I'm

593
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: not getting rewarded like that? Why because they'll give it

594
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: to me if they think I'm doing it, So why

595
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: why do they not think I'm capable of that or

596
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: whatever position I play? Man? Oh man? That elevates the

597
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: roster and what they're trying to do. Just the level

598
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: of competition in training camp, because you know that even

599
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: if you are a fourth or a fifth or a

600
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: sixth round pick, or you're a low level free agent signee,

601
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: you could be showing what you can do on the

602
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: field in training camp or in the preseason and you

603
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: will be on the field for a Super Bowl contender

604
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Yeah, a lot of stuff going on.

605
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break coming up after the break.

606
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: For thirty three years, my old teammate and my close

607
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: friend Jim Kelly, has running football camp for youth he's

608
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: doing that this week. We've got some sound that they

609
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: interviewed him yesterday as his football camp has taken place.

610
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes out of the breaks you'll see the stadium floor

611
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: and you'll see kids running around out there are people

612
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,120

625
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: You get a shot of the floor of the stadium.

00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: It's empty now. It won't be before too long. Jim

629
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,600

00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: at I used to be we used to go. Now

632
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm old. I don't you know, because I gotta

633
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: do this. So there used to be a gazillion kids there.

634
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean literally thousands of these They're all running around

635
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: and it was huge and it has been for thirty

636
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: three years. Jim was there yesterday. He got a chance

637
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: that the uh, the media got a chance to catch

638
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: up with him, ask him a couple of questions his

639
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: thirty third camp, and he does it because he loves it.

640
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: But he was asked, what's the best part of the

641
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly football camp. And Jim had this to say

642
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: about his thirty third year of helping kids here in

643
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: Western New York. And somebody asked me yesterday jing their

644
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: chalk talk. M's the best card of doing this. There's

645
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: a truth. I mean, I love being according back. I've

646
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: got a little bit left in my harm. But Tom

647
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: Mayer's chalk talk the first day was yesterday. It was

648
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: me and today's cherishing Philips just what they did out

649
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: of that. And I remember when your parents were able

650
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: to be here, how everybody heard come up to me

651
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: dash the best part of it because your kids some

652
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: listen or something dope, But do you just tried to

653
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: instilling them the right things and the right habits and

654
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: how to make it make your life in general? Show off.

655
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: I just know every day I'm here and able to

656
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: do this song, I love them. Did you ever go

657
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: to like a camp, soccer camp, football camp, baseball camp?

658
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: Went to baseball camp Le boy In a couple of times,

659
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: and it's always a blast, right, So what do you remember?

660
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: All right? So you're what do you remember about that stuff?

661
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: I remember thinking that the kids in college playing college

662
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: baseball were five times bigger than me and just soaking

663
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: in as much as you could from them and the coaches.

664
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: So I have to imagine any aspiring football player in

665
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: the western New York area going to the Jim Kelly

666
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: football camp and getting to listen to Jim Kelly give

667
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: you pointers on throwing the football. That's that's the best

668
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: thing that possible. Yeah, And it's been going thirty three

669
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: years and I think I was at the first one.

670
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: It was a sleepover camp. They had it down in

671
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: Saint Bonaventure at the campus and they had counselors. The

672
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: kids stayed there all they went and they stayed for

673
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: a week, and they had guys that, you know, adult

674
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: guys or college guys, young guys who would live with

675
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: these kids. And they'd have like a group of the

676
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: eleven kids that they were in charge of for the

677
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: entire What an operation it was. And he's been doing

678
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: now it's evolved into this and COVID has affected it

679
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: like it has everything else as well. And you know, Jim,

680
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: if for those MSG viewers who are out there, Jim

681
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: was standing in the bottom of the stadium stadium which

682
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: he went to the Hall of Fame in playing in.

683
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: And now we've had, you know, the last month or two,

684
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: we've had a report coming out there thinking about the

685
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: new place. They're gonna build a new stadium, refurbished the

686
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: old one and build a new one. What blah blah

687
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: blah blah. And Jim was asked about what about building

688
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: a new stadium, where should it be? What are your thoughts?

689
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: And Jim Kelly had this to say about all the

690
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: talk about a new stadium, I have my preference. I

691
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: have my ideas. I think this is good for another

692
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: ten years, but I don't think I just looked together

693
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: damn like it's just serving you two or three, serving

694
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: you three. That's a long time. Even though they've done

695
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: a great job of taking care of it, I should

696
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: why don't you just build it right across the street

697
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: and while you're bill not they can playing here and

698
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: will not done? Tear this down and make just a

699
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: park for a lot. I think downtown. Even though it

700
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: sounds good, I think it's it's wait too much work.

701
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: It should be a lot of money. And I don't

702
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: know about tail gager. Then anybody know what can have

703
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: a fan base called bills off of you? Now? They

704
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: want tailgating, not a longo stone ganger down. But whatever

705
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: they do, I'll be pulling for him. But I would

706
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: like to see it stay around here. Maybe because I

707
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: live in Orchard Park, I don't have to drive down

708
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: in the city. But hey, whatever they do, I'm behind it. Yes, yeah,

709
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,479
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. He wants to stadium here is because

710
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: he's got his tailgate spot. Oh yeah, he's set up.

711
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: He's got it all roped off. Well, I think for fans.

712
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: That's a huge thing that the Bills can say that

713
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: they're in the race to have the best tailgating scene

714
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL. And I think downtown, for as

715
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: much as I think I would be okay with the downtown,

716
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a lot more crowded. It's gonna be

717
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: a lot more difficult to be having space, the space

718
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: for tailgating and getting in and out of the city.

719
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: We know fans are coming from the South towns, from Rochester,

720
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: from Canada, from Erie, PA. It would be a lot

721
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: more difficult getting in and then leaving the stadium after games. Yeah,

722
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: I mean they would fix that probably, I don't know.

723
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: And and here's the thing too, And you always get

724
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: people who have input about the stadium about you know,

725
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: let's put it here because this part of town's kind

726
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: of run down anyway, nobody's gonna miss. Or let's put

727
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: it over here because they need some commerce over here,

728
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: let's put it. You know, wherever you put the thing,

729
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be a spot that's worse, right, I mean,

730
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be why you put it here? But man,

731
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: now like this fifty years later, fifty years later, it's like, Wow,

732
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: I wish we had it over here. Well, yeah, that

733
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: was fine fifty years ago when you put the stadium in.

734
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: So it's not like it's gonna fix all the problems whatever,

735
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: but it is gonna it's gonna be what it is

736
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: probably right here. This environment that's that happens here and free.

737
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: You saw it today. You drive in, it's an open

738
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: parking line. There's nobody here except for the people who

739
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: are actually drawn a paycheck and Jim Kelly's training, you know,

740
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: camp and stuff. That's that's here once every so often.

741
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's gonna do what it's supposed

742
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: to do. It will it will draw in some people,

743
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: but only on you know, ten Sundays a year or

744
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: whatever else, you know, concerts and whatever other things happened.

745
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm kind of with Jim. This is, this

746
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: is has evolved into what it is and a lot

747
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: of people, a lot of bills fans think this place

748
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: here in Orchard Park, for all the problems it had

749
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: when it got started, this place in Orchard Park has

750
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: grown on a lot of people and become pretty special

751
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: in terms of location. Doesn't really matter to me, but

752
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: I think to have either a dome or a retractable

753
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: roof to go off your point, to be able to

754
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: maximize the amount of events they can have. That if

755
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: you don't have a dome, you know, post Halloween, it

756
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: would be hard to host any other conventions anything else.

757
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: And I think the fact that now the Bills have

758
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: a very talented quarterback, when you're in late in the

759
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: season or in the playoffs, you don't want Josh Allen

760
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: to have to play in the game where it's sleading,

761
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: where it's snowing, where he can be brought down to

762
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: the same level as a lesser quarterback. I want to

763
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: see Josh Allen's arm on full display in perfect weather conditions.

764
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: You might feel differently because I know you you played

765
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: in the era when there was no complaining about domes

766
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: or weren't as many domes. It was all real turf.

767
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more new school, so maybe that's why.

768
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: But I think having a dome helps the Bills have

769
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: more events and it just helps the on field product

770
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: be a lot better. Yeah, maybe I'll say this. Our

771
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: quarterback is less bothered in his arm, is less bother

772
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: than their quarterback is. So it's a bigger advantage for

773
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: us because we got that guy. Yeah, that may change

774
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: in years to come. I mean we may not have

775
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: that guy somebody else does and then you know, then

776
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, see she's on the other foot. But we

777
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: also we're talking about our guy, Josh Allen. Jim was

778
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: asked about the progression of Josh Allen, how his career

779
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: has progressed. We've all seen it, but I think as

780
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: a former quarterback in the Hall of Famer, Jim had

781
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: his own personal, unique perspective. And let's hear from Jim

782
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: Kelly about Josh Allen and his progression. He's gone, I

783
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: don't know who is or who's going to be Um

784
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: just such preach, consistent, and I just I know well

785
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: enough to know that the kids can play. And if

786
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: you just wret mature or running, which I think he

787
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: has had. Offensive line is him to time to throw

788
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: asill be awesome and then talk about our rector. I

789
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: knew that even before the seasons started last year that

790
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: those rectors run going to stay around very alone because

791
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: they throw the ball more than what you ever did.

792
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: But they rely on their passing game more than when

793
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: I played. It was almost I had a Hall of

794
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: Famer in my back yere and I had an offensive

795
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: lined up but was ready to go, and nobody ever

796
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: complained except the defense. They's complained that we're scoring too quick.

797
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: Come on, Bruce. Yeah, that's and he's right though he

798
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: was asked, you know, the question was do you think

799
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen franchise quarterback? Which and Jim answered it

800
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: with a lot of grace and dignity, but shut up.

801
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: Of course he is so right. Yea, but Jim knows

802
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: with a seventeen game schedule, with the way the game

803
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: has evolved into a throwing league. Yeah, Jim's smart answer.

804
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: Jim's records are gonna go down, are gonna leave, but

805
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean, you know, and Jim will be.

806
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,959
Speaker 1: There will be nobody happier than Jim. If Josh Allen

807
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: is a first ballot Hall of Famer, just like he was,

808
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's kind of the way Jim is.

809
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: So he's right, there's really no Josh. He's got a

810
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: great roster around him. He has proven he's that kind

811
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: of guy. That's why the expectations are through the roof

812
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: and just with how the game has changed, I mean,

813
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: Jim said it perfectly that it's not only the fifty

814
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: fifty run split when you were playing, when Jim was playing.

815
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: Now it's sixty or seventy percent of the time. Teams

816
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: like the Bills that have a good quarterback, that have

817
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: good receivers throwing the ball. We have the seventeenth game

818
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 1: and just the fact that you know, every single game,

819
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: thirty forty fifty attempts is not out of the question

820
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: for a quarterback. Steve Tasker, Chris terra Posso here till

821
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: for the next hour and fifty minutes or so. We're

822
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: here till three o'clock, and I'll leave you this before

823
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: we get come back. We're gonna come back and go

824
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: into camp countdown, which Bill's veteran may have a breakout

825
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: season this year. And before we go all, give you

826
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: this statistic about Jim Kelly and his whole offense when

827
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: and when they went to their first Super Bowl in

828
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety Super Bowl twenty five, there were seven players

829
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: in the entire National Football League that were listed at

830
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: three hundred pounds or heavier. Wow, we had three of

831
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: them starting on our offensive line. Steve Tasker, Steve Tasker,

832
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: Christ Posso will be right back. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio,

00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: sixth day. We're talking about Josh Allen and what's gonna

864
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: what's it gonna take or what might help Josh Allen

865
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: in the Bill's offense the most. We've got a lot

866
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: of stuff going on, you know, in and around the

867
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: stadium with Jim Kelly's football camp just concluding and we're

868
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: asking two. We have this thing it's called Camp Countdown

869
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: and it's on the website Buffalo Bills dot com. There's

870
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's trying to chime in about, you know,

871
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: what they think this season is going to look like,

872
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: how they think it's gonna go, and which players may

873
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: surprise us in a positive way. And you can break

874
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: it down into draft picks, rookies, third year players, whatever.

875
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: But now we're asking which veteran Buffalo bill is going

876
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: to have the biggest impact or biggest breakout season. What's

877
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna be his career year, Who's gonna have a career

878
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: year or I guess that's how we phrased it. And

879
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: if you have an idea, you can call us at

880
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: eight to three oh five fifty or one eight eight

881
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. You can tell us who

882
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: you think is gonna have a breakout year, or you

883
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: can answer our Twitter question, is that what's gonna help

884
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the offense the most this year? Chris a veteran,

885
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: who's gonna have a breakout year? Who do you think

886
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be? All Right, I'm gonna call At Oliver

887
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: a veteran. This is his third season. I think with

888
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: that Oliver, he came into the NFL probably with unfair

889
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: expectations that people saw him on the field at Houston.

890
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: They saw the numbers at the combine and thought, this

891
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: is going to be the next Aaron Donald. And I

892
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: think Aaron Donald might go down as the best interior

893
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: defensive lineman in NFL history. So the fact that Ed

894
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: Oliver hasn't been the next Aaron Donald, people think, hey,

895
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: maybe he's drifting into that bus, that bus territory. At

896
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: Oliver has had thirty plus pressures in each of his

897
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: first two seasons in the NFL. He's the only defensive

898
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: tackle from his draft class that has hit the thirty

899
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: pressure plateau each of those two years. Star Latulae coming back,

900
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: Vernon Butler eating those blockers, allowing at Oliver to move

901
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: further away from the football to be in one on

902
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: one situations with guards. You set it off air. He's

903
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: a speed player. Let him let his talent, his speed,

904
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: in his athleticism be more accentuated. I think he's added

905
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: a little strength, a little bit of weight. I don't

906
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: know if we'll see Aaron Donald two point zero, but

907
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see a sizeable step forward

908
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: for the Bill's first round pick in twenty nineteen. And

909
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: I agree with all that it certainly could happen. I

910
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: like that. That's the kind of player. He is an

911
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: explosive guy who can get on the quarterback quick from

912
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: the inside. And that's exactly what you know. The kind

913
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: of league's turning to. You get these huge offensive tackles.

914
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: It's hard to run around him, let alone beat him

915
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: when they get their feet set. So from the interior,

916
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: guys like Aaron Donald and interior pass rushers are more

917
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: effective because the quarterback has to move when they get

918
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: off and when they come over, and when guys come off,

919
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 1: the edge of quarterback climbs in the pocket steps forward

920
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: into the throw and it's not a big deal. Stepping

921
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: sideways is a much more difficult proposition for a quarterback.

922
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: My veteran who I think is gonna have a breakout year,

923
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: and I've said it ever since the beginning, has been

924
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. It's his third year at tight end. He

925
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: made strides this last year and was derailed by a

926
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: calf injury and covid or I think we would have

927
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: seen more from him. I think he's a dynamite red

928
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: zone weapon. And think about this. You name a guy

929
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: on this offense who's gonna be on the field and

930
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox will be on the field in three wide sets,

931
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: and he may even be there if they go empty

932
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: and go for wide. He may be a flex tight end.

933
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: He's gonna get opportunities in the passing game. Who's going

934
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: to get better matchups Steph Diggs or Dawson Knox. I

935
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: mean that Dawson Knox is the guy that gets the

936
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: last guy available, and I think he's up to that.

937
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: I think he's going to exploit that matchup and I

938
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: think the Bills will see it. Brian Dable will see it.

939
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: It's a matchup offense. Brian Dabo looks for that dictates it,

940
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: and he's gonna give Dawson Knox some opportunities to do

941
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: some things he hasn't been able to do in the

942
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: first couple of years of his career. Yeah, and being

943
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: a draft guy. That was the book on Dawson Knox,

944
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: and it speaks to an earlier point that we talked

945
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: about in the last segment that Dawson Knox is a

946
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: physical specimen. He is one of the more athletic tight

947
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: ends in the NFL. But the book on him was

948
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: he didn't get throwing the football very often. Why because

949
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: at Ole Miss. He was playing with A. J. Brown

950
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: and DK Metcalf, so it probably was going to take

951
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: a season or maybe two before he was really coming

952
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: into his own in terms of being able to trust

953
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: his hands and become a focal point or even just

954
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: a secondary option in an offense. The athletist m the

955
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: speed is there, the acrobatic catches like that one against

956
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 1: the Colts in the playoffs. Down the field, we've seen

957
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,240
Speaker 1: him make some big plays. More consistency from Dawson Knox.

958
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: I think is he's primed for that in his third

959
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: season because he's just gotten on the field more. He

960
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: was not growing the football very often at Old Miss.

961
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker Chris Trapasso here for the next couple of hours.

962

Speaker 1: What will help Josh Allen on the Bills offense the

963
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: most in twenty twenty one. You can pick something that

964

Speaker 1: and the Sabers are being a part of, as well

1004
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: as a lot of major companies around Buffalo who are

1005
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: on board with this Give seven one six dot org

1006
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: as well. Chris, we gotta a bunch of people chiming

1007
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: in on our question of the day, which is what

1008
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: will help josh Alan and the Bill's offense the most

1009
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Not surprisingly, I guess nothing. I

1010
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: guess nothing surprises me, but a lot of people are

1011
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: on board with It's hard to imagine the offense playing

1012
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: better than it did, So if you're gonna help it,

1013
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: it might be the other side of the ball that

1014
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: does it. Yeah, it's got to be the defense. It's

1015
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: got to be I think a better pass rush. And

1016
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: last year, actually the Bills had the fourth most quarterback

1017
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: pressures as a defense, but only the fifteenth most sacks,

1018
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: so they got to finish some of those plays. I

1019
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: think some of that was due to the fact that

1020
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: they played Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes

1021
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert. The quarterback schedule isn't quite as daunting

1022
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: in terms of quarterbacks that are good at avoiding sacks.

1023
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,280
Speaker 1: So I think just getting the opposing quarterback on the ground,

1024
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 1: forcing punts, giving the offense more opportunities that probably will

1025
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: help more so than anything else in terms of personnel

1026
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: on the offense. Yeah, you think about it's a different

1027
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: set of quarterbacks. You got Ben Roethlisberger, TA fits bunch

1028
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:51,280
Speaker 1: of rookies, right, Yeah, you got Jack, you got Trevor Lawrence,

1029
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, and then you've got you do have some.

1030
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean you got not just nobodies. I mean you

1031
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: got Deshaun Watson, you got Mahomes, you got Tannehill, You've

1032
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: got Brady, You've got Carson Wentz, whoever is playing for

1033
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: the Saints, whether it's Taystom Hill or Jamis Winston, the

1034
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: Patriots guys. Now, Mac Jones isn't going anywhere, but cam

1035
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: Is Carolina Panthers and Sam Darnold. The Bills have played

1036
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: well against Sam in the past. Matt Ryan is not

1037
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 1: going to outrun anybody. So yeah, it's not the same

1038
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: as going against Kyler Murray, Russ Wilson and Aliston Herbert

1039
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: too was in Justin Herbert. They got some guys that

1040
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: could scoot. Last year. I think the Bills had a

1041
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: really rough schedule last year. This time this year, I mean,

1042
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: you never get an easy one in the NFL. But

1043
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: it's different, There's no question about it. It's different this year,

1044
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: and maybe the Bills will be able to finish off

1045
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: a lot of those pressures that they got last year. Now,

1046
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet and some of the some of our

1047
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: listeners have been chiming in about what they think will

1048
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: help Josh Allen the Bills offense the most, and he's

1049
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: and Nick breaks it down a little bit further than

1050
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: just saying defense. He says this two top areas will

1051
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: help the Bills in twenty twenty one is going to

1052
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: be a dependable running game and a pass rush they'll

1053
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: that will get to the opposing quarterback. In his opinion,

1054
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: these two things are tops. I know they're a pass

1055
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: heavy team and that's who they are, but if they

1056
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: have a decent threat in the running game, the team

1057
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 1: is going to be hard to stop. And I've said

1058
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: this too, Chris, and you can chime in on this

1059
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 1: and knock it down if you want. But finding fault

1060
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: with the offense the Bills ran last year, I mean

1061
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: you're looking for I mean you're looking for warts on

1062
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,959
Speaker 1: Miss America. I mean, they're just not going to happen.

1063
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: It's a horror. It was a hard offense to defend.

1064
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: They were a juggernaut. They scored five hundred points last year.

1065
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with his offense, even if they do

1066
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: want to run the ball better. Yeah, I think what

1067
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott said at the end of

1068
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: the season that they don't want to run the football more.

1069
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,919
Speaker 1: They just want to run it more consistently. And being

1070
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: a draft guy. I loved Devin Singletary coming out of

1071
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic. He was my top running back in that

1072
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: draft class. I think he and Zech Moss are similar

1073
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: and that they have good contact balance. They're not going

1074
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: down on first contact very often. We know Singletary is

1075
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: very elusive. I like the signing of Matt Breda that

1076
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: they bring in a speed guy that when the blocking

1077
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 1: is perfect. You don't have guys in Singletary and Muss

1078
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: that can't hit that big play. You can hand it

1079
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: to Matt Brida, who runs in the four threes and

1080
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: can hit you a home run on the ground. Yeah,

1081
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: and you're talking about it, think about this a Matt Breeda,

1082
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: if he's in there at the right time, even if

1083
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,760
Speaker 1: he was taken most of the bulk of the snaps,

1084
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: that's the number one guy, which you know the Bills

1085
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: rotate these guys through. So having Matt Breeda in there,

1086
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about over the course of a month, like

1087
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the seat a little less this year,

1088
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about like one play a month that he

1089
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: can snap off for a big one. Because that's the

1090
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: way it is. You're not gonna do that three times

1091
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: a week. You're gonna do it every couple few games.

1092
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: But that's what you're talking about. That play changes the

1093
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: film team watch for sure, and they're going, Okay, if

1094
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: he's in there, well we got to do some things.

1095
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 1: That's where you get benefit that goes beyond just having

1096
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown run like Breeda does here for the forty

1097
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: nine ers against the Bengals. You know, it's more than

1098
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: just this one run. It's the scouting report that goes

1099
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: out and the film when guys get their eyes on that,

1100
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: when Breed is in the game saying all right, I'm

1101
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not backing out of there as quick

1102
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: as I did, you know so, I'm not gonna be

1103
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: able to get back into the hook hook zone where

1104
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: where Steph Diggs is gonna be just as quick as

1105
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: I did, because I'm gonna make sure Breeda doesn't have

1106
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: the ball. That kind of thing. The rip is the

1107
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: ripple effect that a guy like that brings. You're not

1108
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: talking about him snapping off a sixty five yard touchdown

1109
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 1: every game once a month is plenty, but that's what

1110
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: it does. Well. I think the ment Breeda signing is

1111
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: really indicative and it's become a classic Brandon Bean signing.

1112
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 1: That it's a low level move on the free agent

1113
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: market doesn't get a lot of headlines. But like we

1114
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: said earlier that this coaching staff has proven and shown

1115
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: that it can get the best out of a low

1116
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: level free agent. And you're right, even if it is

1117
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: once every three games, if he can hit a sixty

1118
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: yard run, now defensive coordinators have to say, hey, we

1119
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: need to also game plan for the chance that this

1120
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: four three nine running back can hit along play. The

1121
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: Bills have been missing speed in their backfield. For as

1122
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: elusive and as powerful as Devin's Singletary and Zach Moss are,

1123
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: that's the one area that defensive coordinators did not have

1124
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: to plan for is the downfield home run hitting ability.

1125
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: And like I said, it's not just about the sixty

1126
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: five yard run either. His speed allows him to run

1127
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: more maybe zone reads where they can where they can

1128
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: run where the offensive line comes off instead of having

1129
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: a guard run across the formation and kick out a

1130
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: guy on the end, all five offensive lineman come off

1131
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: moving forward and the back runs hard to the sideline,

1132
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,439
Speaker 1: waits for a seam to open up, puts his foot

1133
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 1: in the ground, and then he's gone. Being able to

1134
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: run a different style of running play really puts the

1135
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 1: defense in a bind when they don't know whether they're

1136
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 1: gonna have to take on a pulling guard or whether

1137
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to, you know, pick a shoulder and

1138
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: grab a gap that is getting bigger and bigger and

1139
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: bigger as the play gets to the sideline. So having

1140
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 1: to prepare for both those kind of you know, running

1141
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: types of plays is a big issue for a defense

1142
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: getting ready to play in and that you know, if

1143
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,959
Speaker 1: they're if they're getting ready for everything, they're not ready

1144
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: getting ready for exactly what you are going to do.

1145
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: And that's that's a huge plus. And those are the

1146
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: kind of the ripple effects that great players can give

1147
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: you in game plans and in games. As the season

1148
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: wears along from Jack also, Jack says this about what's

1149
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: going to help Josh Allen and the Bill's offense the

1150
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: most in twenty twenty one. Jack says continuity from last

1151
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: year's the most helpful. Returning most of their starters and

1152
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinators huge Alan and the offense don't have

1153
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: to worry about as many changing variables. It's the devil.

1154
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: You know. Also, it can hurt to maybe get the

1155
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: starting offensive line they want in place for more than

1156
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: just two plays. I've said that before last year, that

1157
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: the five guys they wanted on the field for three plays,

1158
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: the third one Mitch Morse got hurt. Mitch Morris goes

1159
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: down with the concussion, he's out, and he's out for

1160
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: another week. And then so now it's Feliciano is kicked

1161
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 1: down inside to play center. And then I think Butker

1162
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: or Winters or somebody comes in and plays right guard,

1163
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 1: and they're five different guys again, you know, from guard

1164
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: to guard. They never had the five guys that they

1165
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: had wanted on the field for more than three plays

1166
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: for the entire season because then by the time Mitch

1167
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 1: Morse got back in the lineup, Cody Ford had had

1168
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: a hurt knee. That'll be different. And I've said this too,

1169
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who the offensive line is gonna be.

1170
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be Dion Dawkins, Cody Ford,

1171
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: Mitch Moore's Feliciano, Daryl Williams. I don't think that is

1172
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: a given. I don't think that's a given. And I'm

1173
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: not saying anybody in particular might be gone, but the

1174
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: competition there with the draft picks and the free agent

1175
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: they got in, and the reputation that this coaching staff

1176
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: has earned about giving guys who have earned it the

1177
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: playing time. If any of those guys take their foot

1178
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: off the gas, they're going to tune into Quentin Spain

1179
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: from a year ago. Yeah, that's a great point. And

1180
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: to bring in someone like Forrest lamp that's been a

1181
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: multiple year starter in the NFL, dealt with some injuries

1182
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: that kind of led to him being let go with

1183
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers. And then those two draft picks, Spencer Brown

1184
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: and Tommy Doyle, again following the theme of these are big,

1185
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: physical freaks that might be a little bit raw. If

1186
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: one of those guys hits the ground running maybe a

1187
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: little bit faster than even someone like myself thinks, we

1188
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: could see some shuffling. I think the Bills want to

1189
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: start the season with the five best blockers up front,

1190
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: and they do prioritize versatility. That was probably a big

1191
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: reason why Felicianowa was resigned. But yeah, I think there

1192
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: are a few positions that are still up for grabs

1193
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: at this point. But If you ask any offensive lineman

1194
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: offensive line coach around the league, they'll tell you continuity

1195
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: upfront is huge. So to have more than three plays

1196
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: with the starting five that you want can have a

1197
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: huge ripple effect on Josh Allen, the passing offense, and

1198
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: the run game. You know, we've also got this from

1199
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Max on the tweet sheet. He's saying, this is what

1200
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: we alluded to. Just at the start of this segment.

1201
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: He says this, they don't need much help the continuity,

1202
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: the returning players and coaches enough with what they accomplished

1203
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,479
Speaker 1: last year. Maybe slightly better line play, running game maybe

1204
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: would relieve him, leave Josh of having to get yards

1205
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: with his legs. And I get this too, I said

1206
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: this yesterday. I think he wont a running game where

1207
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: while Josh Allen is a threat, you don't want to

1208
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: You don't want very many cold quarterback runs. No, you

1209
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 1: don't want many at all. And if Josh breaks contain

1210
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: in the pocket and kills teams with a scramble down

1211
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: the field and then slides without contact, awesome, that's all.

1212
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: That's as good as a completion. That's part of his game.

1213
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: That's right. But remember when he was a rookie down

1214
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: on the and he is a threat too. And I've

1215
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: said this before. When Cam Newton was at his best,

1216
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: he was the best short yardage running back in the

1217
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: national football That's what Josh is as well. When he's

1218
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: in short yardage or in the red zone where he's

1219
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: a threat to just pull it down and run it. Yeah,

1220
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: he's a monster. But out in the field, you know,

1221
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: you don't see day Ball calling those plays for him

1222
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: just to tuck it and let's go. You know they'll

1223
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: see him once in a while, but you just don't

1224
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: see him. And I think it's a smart way to go.

1225
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: You gotta get away from that. He's good enough in

1226
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: the pocket, let him be a throwing quarterback. Use the

1227
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: run when it will absolutely crush the defense because it's

1228
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: off the cuff. And that's another area that I think

1229
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Brian Dayble and this Bill's coaching staff, the front office,

1230
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: the analytics department has been so far ahead that last

1231
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: year they prioritize running the football against those light boxes.

1232
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: So if you're coming out of the gates and you're

1233
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: scoring thirty plus points a game in September, teams start

1234
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: to give you those six and seven man boxes then sure,

1235
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: run the ball occasionally that don't just run the football.

1236
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: To run the football when you're seeing eight and nine

1237
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: man boxes. That's even if you have great blocking or

1238
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: you have good running backs, there's just not enough guys

1239
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: to block all those defenders up front. So I think

1240
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: everything that the Bills have shown, not only with their

1241
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: personnel and Josh Allen's talent, but the philosophy and when

1242
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna call pass plays, when they're going to use

1243
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: play action, and then also when we're gonna call runs

1244
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: on the offensive side to say, hey, we're gonna wait

1245
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: until we get that very advantageous look to give the

1246
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: ball to Devin Singletary or map Raider or Zach Moss.

1247
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: That's how we have to kind of look at the

1248
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: offense through that lens, the run game running in the

1249
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 1: correct situations when they get those proper looks. Give me,

1250
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: give me an idea, because I know that Josh was

1251
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: off the charts last year. He's you know, he's runner

1252
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: up in the MVP voting, and and and there have

1253
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: been years in the past where his statistics would have

1254
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: been absolutely for sure, you know, rubber stamp MVP of

1255
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: the league. If you were going to pick some places

1256
01:02:56,120 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: where's where might he regrets and I know which talk

1257
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: about statistics and that kind of thing, And I'm and

1258
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: I've said already he may regret statistically in sumarias, But

1259
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: he's going to be this guy no matter what. The

1260
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: game will dictate what his statistics are and how successful

1261
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: they're going to be in whatever. But he's still going

1262
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: to be the same quarterback he was for most of

1263
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: the year last year. But if they're you're going to

1264
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: look at his statistics at the end of twenty twenty one,

1265
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: right now, where would you anticipate or probably the biggest,

1266
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: the best chance of him saying okay, statistically he wasn't

1267
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: quite as good here this year. Yeah, there's kind of

1268
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: two layers to this. I don't know if he will

1269
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: be quite as good in terms of efficiency or the

1270
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: high value type of stats from a clean pocket. I

1271
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 1: think he has. He has proven that he's improved passing

1272
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: from a clean pocket in all three of the seasons.

1273
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: But last year, actually under pressure for as many big

1274
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: plays as he made kind of improvising outside the pocket,

1275
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: he wasn't amazing relative to other quarterbacks in the NFL

1276
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: when he was under pressure I think he takes a

1277
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: step forward in that regard and that element of his game.

1278
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: In the year four, things will really slow down for him.

1279
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: So when he is seeing a free rusher from the

1280
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: corner or up the middle, there is pressure, I think

1281
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: he'll be more comfortable making throws accurately down the field.

1282
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: And then with that, we probably won't see such a

1283
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: ridiculously accurate and high efficiency quarterback from a clean pocket.

1284
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: And you put those two things together, and to your

1285
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: point see from earlier, I think we will see a

1286
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen that statistically we will be very similar to

1287
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: what he did in twenty twenty. They have the personnel

1288
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: pieces in the philosophy is there. So I think clean

1289
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: pocket play maybe a step back slight, and I think

1290
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: we will see a little bit of a step forward

1291
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: for now, a twenty five year old quarterback going into

1292
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: his fourth year as a starter in the NFL. Think

1293
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: about this him being good under pressure from the pocket.

1294
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: Where else would there have been a more major adjustment

1295
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: for him to make Because when he comes in when

1296
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: he's under pressure the play he was running. Yeah, two

1297
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: years ago, you getting pressure the pocket, he was already gone.

1298
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: He's still gotten better, but he's still like middle of

1299
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the pack. I think that may have been the biggest

1300
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: adjustment for him to make the way he played the

1301
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: game as a collegian and then as an ear as

1302
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: a rookie point of the second year, because he didn't

1303
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: wait around for the pressure. He's smart enough to know,

1304
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: oh they got me, and he would immediately pull the

1305
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: ball down, take off. So now what a what a

1306
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: big time NFL quarterback does? He doesn't flinch the quarter

1307
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: of the pressures. There, I've got answers. And he did

1308
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 1: this a much better last year, where he goes, all right,

1309
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: if they do get me right here, i gotta go

1310
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: here right away. He knew where his options were and

1311
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: his answers were very a lot quicker last year, and

1312
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: it showed obviously, But I think that one of the

1313
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: reasons he struggled with it. That was as big as

1314
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: adjustment because that was the exact opposite of his game

1315
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: coming into the league and in his first year as

1316
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: a player, when he got pressure, he didn't wait around,

1317
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: or he didn't know exactly where his answers were, and

1318
01:05:58,320 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: he didn't know that you know, you stand in there,

1319
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: you make the throw and the hit doesn't hurt because

1320
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: the guy has to let up. Yeah, we noticed last

1321
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: year just watching the film, and like you said, you've

1322
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: watched every play over and over again, so have I

1323
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: inside the pocket drifting away from pressure to not be

1324
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: so anxious and to just get out and use his athleticism,

1325
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: to almost just use that athleticism as a last resort

1326
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: to say, Hey, there is pressure in my face. I'm

1327
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: going to slide to my right and then step up.

1328
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: We didn't see that rookie year, Josh Allen. We saw

1329
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: it occasionally year two, and then last year he did

1330
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: it a lot more frequently. The arrow is pointing up

1331
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen under pressure, and that's why I think

1332
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 1: he takes a step in that regard this year. Yeah,

1333
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 1: I think so, Christi presso Steve Tasker. One Bills live

1334
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: worse here until three o'clock. Got a lot of a

1335
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: lot going on. What's the biggest what's the thing that's

1336
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: gonna help Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills offense the

1337
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: most in twenty twenty one. Some of our responses that

1338
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: admitted they don't need much help, no question about it.

1339
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: Josh has got some a few steps. He's talked about

1340
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: it in the offseason about you know, he wants to

1341
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: throw the dig rout, the in route deepen route better

1342
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: and and you know, I think at this point it's

1343
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: hard for us. It seem as how he made such

1344
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: strides last year to pull off the you know, the

1345
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: the optimism and the and the you know, the polish

1346
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: it and say, you know what does he really need

1347
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: to work on because it all looked really good last year,

1348
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: no question about it. The continuity's going to be huge

1349
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: Brian day ball with Josh, their ability to and I've

1350
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: been a part of this way back in the day

1351
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: when I played. The quarterback comes off and the receivers

1352
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: come off the field, and the coordinators there or he's

1353
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: upstairs or whatever, and you start talking about things. You

1354
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,959
Speaker 1: can have a conversation three levels beyond what would happen

1355
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 1: if it was the first year in the offense and

1356
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: his first year, because you go back and say, hey,

1357
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: remember this and that and the other, and the context

1358
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: of where the offense is now is evolved from where

1359
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: it used to be used to not run this stuff

1360
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: for Josh, or when you ran this stuff, you had

1361
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: to do it this way because the quarterback or the

1362
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: receivers weren't good enough to do this, or because of

1363
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: some other factors, you ran the play differently. Now that

1364
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: you're all well schooled and you've got high level people

1365
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 1: around you, run it. Listen, here's how we run it. Now.

1366
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: Then when you say when you come off the field

1367
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: and say, hey, remember how we use it, don't you

1368
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 1: know we're doing that because this happened. Forget about that.

1369
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: Now do it this way because dad, d d d DA,

1370
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, And you just have a different level of conversation,

1371
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 1: and the communication is click quicker, it's clearer. There's a

1372
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,600
Speaker 1: deeper level of understanding about what you're talking about and

1373
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: why you're talking about it, what happened to us on

1374
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 1: this last play, what we want to happen to us

1375
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 1: on the next play, and how we're gonna make it happen.

1376
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: All that stuff is at a higher level when you've

1377
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: got this much experience in the same offense with the

1378
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: same language. Josh is gonna be there, Steph Diggs is

1379
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,799
Speaker 1: going to be a year deeper into this. Gabe David's

1380
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 1: gonna be a year deeper into it. Cole Beasley is

1381
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 1: another year deeper into it. All these guys you know

1382
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders is gonna it's gonna be easy for him

1383
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: because you'll have four guys saying okay, yeah, I remember this,

1384
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: think about this, what about it. It's just gonna be

1385
01:08:56,240 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: that much easier. The continuity is huge, and I think

1386
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: one of the things that there is a double edged sword.

1387
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: It's great, and McDermot addresses this all the time. Yes,

1388
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: continuity's great, but there's always a threat that you're gonna

1389
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,759
Speaker 1: go stale. Well, yeah, And I think Josh Allen, coming

1390
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 1: off that ridiculous season that you said in most years

1391
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: would have won MVP running away to come out and

1392
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 1: say I want to work on my dig routes, my

1393
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,719
Speaker 1: inbreaking routes. That speaks to the DNA that Josh Allen

1394
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: has that he is constantly trying to improve. And I

1395
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,799
Speaker 1: think that goes all the way up to Sean McDermott

1396
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: and Brandon Bean that they can have his stacked roster

1397
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 1: and they're always looking to upgrade every position on the field.

1398
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 1: So to be able to do that, and I always

1399
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: think to think about in today's NFL, Josh Allen starts

1400
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: his career as a first round quarterback. He's had the

1401
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: same offensive coordinator all four seasons. Baker mayfields on is

1402
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: what fourth or fifth different offensive coordinator is the third

1403
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: head coach? I think fourth offensive coordinator may fourth offensive coordinator.

1404
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: So to have so many different changing pieces has to

1405
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: be hard for terminolog and, like you're saying, having that

1406
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 1: next level stuff, like, hey, we ran this play last

1407
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: year and it kind of wasn't run perfectly, but it

1408
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: still worked. Let's try to perfect it. Josh Allen will

1409
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,799
Speaker 1: have full command of this offense having the same offensive

1410
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: coordinator for all four years. That's almost unheard of in

1411
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 1: today's NFL. Steve Tasker, Chris Trapasso, we're here. We'll get

1412
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: one more from the tweet sheet before we take a break. Here,

1413
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: what's the biggest thing that's going to help Josh Allen

1414
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's offense in twenty twenty one from Charlie.

1415
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: He says, this an improved running game. Every defense will

1416
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 1: be gunning for Allen and the receivers every game after

1417
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: last year's breakout. If the run game can't step up

1418
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: and keep the defense honest, it may be difficult to match.

1419
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Yet last year's passing prowess. I'm confident it will. If

1420
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: the offensive line stays healthy. And there's a lot too that.

1421
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: All right, I've said this too, Chris. We chew this

1422
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: up all the time. We chew this up and spit

1423
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: it out every topic, every position group. And I'll get

1424
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: back to what I've said at the beginning of this offseason.

1425
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 1: It all starts with the o line. They never had

1426
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: the five guys on the field they wanted. This year,

1427
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: they brought an even more competition they really got due

1428
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: to no fault of their own. They got caught with

1429
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: their pants down on the offensive line in twenty nineteen.

1430
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 1: The offensive line was not good enough because remember uh

1431
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Richie Incognito left Eric Eric would retire because of an injury.

1432
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: So they lost forty percent of a pretty good offense

1433
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: they had, right, and they were planning on the planet

1434
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: it was, and they had no extra assets to replace

1435
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,599
Speaker 1: those guys, right, I mean they got they just got

1436
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: stress late in the problem. I was in February when

1437
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: Eric Wood was gone, but he wasn't supposed to be gone,

1438
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: he was, right, So that's and I remember talking to

1439
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 1: would I do the Sean McDermott show here, and they

1440
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 1: were just getting beat up front, and Josh did some

1441
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: things he had some good moments and stuff, because you know,

1442
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 1: he would run around and make some things happen. He

1443
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: almost single handedly beat the Dolphins when Charles Clay dropped

1444
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: a pass. I mean, you know, so he did some

1445
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 1: stuff and he showed some things, but they knew then

1446
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: they proved it to themselves. Then the offensive line. Everything

1447
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: starts up front. I think last year they saw it

1448
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: with their defensive line when Starr couldn't come back and

1449
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: they didn't have anybody could really anchor down inside or

1450
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 1: not as well as he could. I think on both

1451
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, it starts up front. And you

1452
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: know with or with this, you know from Charlie here,

1453
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 1: he says it's the run games. It all starts up front.

1454
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 1: It all starts up front. I was way down in

1455
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: the draft. I didn't want him to take Naji Harris.

1456
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 1: I didn't want him take Travis at In. I didn't

1457
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: want no. It's if you want to get your run game,

1458
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: better do what they did draft offensive lineman. Yeah. And

1459
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,759
Speaker 1: for as much as the Bill, their coaching staff, fans,

1460
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:45,839
Speaker 1: media are viewing the Bills as a legitimate Super Bowl contender,

1461
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: one of the favorites to get to the Super Bowl

1462
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: and win it this year. You also have a twenty

1463
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 1: five year old franchise quarterback. Invest in your offensive line

1464
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: long term. You don't want to get into two twenty

1465
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: three or two thous twenty four when Josh Allen's in

1466
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 1: the prime of his career and you have a leaky

1467
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: offensive line. So I think that's why they doubled up

1468
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 1: on the offensive line in the draft with Spencer Brown

1469
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: and Tommy Doyle. And that's also why there's still bringing

1470
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 1: in guys like Bobby Hart and Forrest Lamp and saying, hey,

1471
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: as long as Josh Allen is here, we are going

1472
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 1: to make an investment in the guys protecting him. So

1473
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 1: it was maybe not the most instant impact type of

1474
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: players later in the draft with Spencer Brown and Tommy

1475
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: and Doyle, but you have your franchise quarterback who is

1476
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 1: still very very young, invest in his future. Steve Tasker

1498
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Task with Chris Trapasso in for Chris Brown Today, I

1499
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 1: gotta ask you, you know, we're talking about Josh Allen

1500
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: and how the Bill's offense and what's going to help

1501
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: him the most this year with his offense and a

1502
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: lot you know, a lot of people chin in about

1503
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: everything from continuity of having day Ball back and how

1504
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 1: the team was to get him back, a running game

1505
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 1: that would help him, or the defense just playing better,

1506
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 1: and all those things are true, no question about it.

1507
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 1: We're getting a lot of feedback if you want to

1508
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: get in, or you can call us at eight O

1509
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty and tell us what you think.

1510
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 1: Charlie says this, and we've heard this one before about

1511
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 1: an improved running game because every no, I'm sorry, this

1512
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: is Tiffany, the return of coach day Ball and his

1513
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: assistance is Hughes. And she brings up another point right here.

1514
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: He should be a head coach and if he would

1515
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: have left, most likely some of his position coaches would

1516
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 1: have taken promotions with him. I'm excited to see this

1517
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: offense evolved with a loaded lineup. This will be Josh's

1518
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: MVP season. She's right, and that's one of the things

1519
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 1: that gets lost. Certainly, you lose a great coordinator and

1520
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: a great coach and a great friend to Josh and

1521
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: a great guy in the locker room in brand dable.

1522
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: He's all of those things. He's a top notch guy,

1523
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: top notch individual, just a real asset to the team.

1524
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: And if you miss him, if you lose him, certainly

1525
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna it's gonna be opened up a whole new

1526
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,639
Speaker 1: coaching staff for whatever team it was, whether San Diego,

1527
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: whether it was Cleveland, whether it was Jacksonville, whether or

1528
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: whoever it was the Bears, whoever it is. This coming year,

1529
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,680
Speaker 1: Dayball's gonna get looked at and he's gonna have to

1530
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 1: assemble his own coaching staff. So if day Ball leaves

1531
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo and the success of Buffalo Bills had, he wants

1532
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: to replicate that somewhere. Who better to do it than

1533
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: all guys he's got on his at least on his

1534
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, If not a bunch of

1535
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: like the receiver's coach, that Hall, Ken Dorsey, all those guys,

1536
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:38,640
Speaker 1: if they go with day Ball, you know one of them,

1537
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 1: you know, one of them becomes a coordinator, off as

1538
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 1: a coordinator or you know a different or more you know,

1539
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: has a more prestigious title, starts to work their way

1540
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 1: up the pecking order day Ball, and he knows it.

1541
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just the way it works. And

1542
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: I think I haven't spoken to him about it, but

1543
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was given some reasons why he was

1544
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: passed over by those teams. I mean, they had they

1545
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,759
Speaker 1: picked their guys for their reasons, and it's nothing against

1546
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 1: the guys they don't pick. It's just that this guy

1547
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,640
Speaker 1: seemed like a better fit, clicked better with whoever was

1548
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 1: already there, whatever. But day Ball sitting there going listen,

1549
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: I took Josh Allen, who was the most controversial, most

1550
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: maligned draft pick, the most impossible guy to ever make

1551
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: into a good quarterback, and I did it. Yeah. Now,

1552
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: certainly he gives Josh a lot of credit. He does

1553
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: give Josh a lot of credit. But day Ball is

1554
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: the guy calling the shots, and I don't know what

1555
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: other teams are looking for. I mean, you got San

1556
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: Diego's got a guy like Justin Herbert. You got the

1557
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: Jets with a guy like Zach Wilson, you got the

1558
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence. And you go down the

1559
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: list that Miami Dolphins and Tutona Ioloa. Now, certainly they're

1560
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 1: not done with Brian Flores down there, and I like

1561
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: him a lot. But you've got a lot of teams

1562
01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: out there who have young quarterbacks. I'm like, what are

1563
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 1: you guys doing? Yeah, I have no idea of all

1564
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: those teams that you just listed. How the Los Angeles

1565
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 1: Chargers did not hire Brian Dable because of to take

1566
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: someone like Justin Herbert who has a similar skill set

1567
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen, big arm, big kid, athletic. And oh,

1568
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: by the way, the GM with the Chargers, Tom Talasco

1569
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 1: went to high school with Brian Dable. That seemed like

1570
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: a slam dunk and looking at the Bills projecting them forward,

1571
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: they're chasing the Kansas City Chiefs. After losing to the

1572
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game, the last

1573
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: thing the Bills would have wanted to have is, oh,

1574
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 1: now we lost our offensive coordinator, we lost our receiver coach,

1575
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 1: we lost our quarterbacks coach. They retain all of that,

1576
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs pretty much retained their entire assistant coaching

1577
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 1: staff as well. And to have Ken Dorsey move over

1578
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: to passing game coordinator to add that to his job

1579
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: responsibility or his job title to also be the quarterback

1580
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 1: coach allows Brian Dable a little bit more room to

1581
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: game plan, to spend a little bit more time game

1582
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: planning and maximizing those mismatches that you were talking about earlier, Steve,

1583
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: it's huge for to keep up with the Kansas City

1584
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs that did not have a lot of changeover in

1585
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: their staff really at all. The Bills have the same thing.

1586
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 1: It's a real problem for head coach in the NFL,

1587
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 1: more so for offensive guys or for teams with offenses.

1588
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: I think about it. Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Sean Payton,

1589
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. These guys all call plays, yeah, and because

1590
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: of that, they don't run the risk of losing Brian

1591
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Dable or if they do, it's not a guy who's

1592
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 1: calling plays, they lose his input and certainly their quality coaches,

1593
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: but they don't. They're not going to do that. Their

1594
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks gonna have them calling plays and they're gonna have

1595
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: that relationship. Sean mcdermot's a defensive guy, and certainly I

1596
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 1: remember once early in his tenure, memory took the play

1597
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: calling away from Leslie Fraser for the end of one

1598
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: game just because he, you know, he had to do

1599
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 1: he felt like it right. And then now that that's

1600
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: all gone, he never does that anymore, right, So, but

1601
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the trends in the NFL

1602
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: is that, you know, because great coordinators move up quick,

1603
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: they're hard to come by, and they're hard to find coaches,

1604
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 1: head coach, particularly offensive ones. Our guys are saying, listen,

1605
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call the plays that way if if you

1606
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 1: know my guy like Eric bi Enemy, I think has

1607
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 1: been hindered by being with Andy Reid. Yeah, because maybe

1608
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: not hindered. Certainly he gets a lot of attention because

1609
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,720
Speaker 1: they're very good, and Andy Reid gives him a ton

1610
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 1: of credit and does so does Pat Mahomes. But he's

1611
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: not called him plays. Now he does. You saw some

1612
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: last year where many Reid he had a play sheet

1613
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 1: and Eric bi Enemy was taken part in that because

1614
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: that was the big I think one of the criticisms

1615
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 1: of Eric bi Enemy's candidacy is a head coach, which

1616
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: of which he is qualified as well, was that he

1617
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 1: didn't call plays. How much does he have to do

1618
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 1: with that offense and how good it is when he

1619
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 1: got that quarterback and that guy called him plays, what

1620
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: are you doing? That's the kind of the criticism of that.

1621
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: So and that's a function of guys getting clipped. You

1622
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 1: gotta hit, I gotta call the plays. If you get

1623
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: good at it, I'm gonna lose you. So it doesn't

1624
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: really happen on the defensive side all that much, although

1625
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: good defensive coordinators go Vic Fongio, all these other guys,

1626
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 1: and the guy in the guy in Chicago U Matt Nagy,

1627
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 1: he calls offensive plays. Um, It'll be interesting to see

1628
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 1: the guy in uh in Atlanta, UM Art Smith, Arthur

1629
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 1: Smith from the Titans, from the Titans. Is he going

1630
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,720
Speaker 1: to call his own plays? Because he who's gonna call him?

1631
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 1: For Brian Tannehill? Right? So, you know, having Brian Dable

1632
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:41,719
Speaker 1: back here is huge for the Bills and that trend,

1633
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: there's a reason for that trend of head coach. Now,

1634
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: I gotta call these plays because I'm gonna lose this guy.

1635
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: What I like too, is the Bills are preparing Ken

1636
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,880
Speaker 1: Dorsey to ultimately be the offensive coordinator. Right. I mean

1637
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: he might or probably will come into a little bit

1638
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: of a dilemma after this season that Brian Dabo most

1639
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: likely will become a head coach and twenty two and

1640
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: Brian Dable is going to probably want to take Ken

1641
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: Dorsey with him. But Ken Dorsey will probably then be

1642
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 1: offered the Bill's offensive coordinator job. And he's got Stefon Diggs,

1643
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: he's got twenty six year old Josh Allen, So to

1644
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: not only just say hey, we're happy to have Brian

1645
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,839
Speaker 1: dabele two again with this twenty five year old quarterback,

1646
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 1: think long term and say, let's give Ken Dorsey more

1647
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 1: responsibility this year as the passing game coordinator on one

1648
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 1: of the league's best passing offenses. Prepares him for probably

1649
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: what will be the next offensive coordinator for the Bills.

1650
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: And it's and anybody who's and I'm not saying I have,

1651
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: but you get this verbiage from HR departments, human resource departments.

1652
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: You got all these people working for the company. And

1653
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: one of the things that everybody's got their own life,

1654
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 1: they're living, they got their own career, they're thinking about

1655
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: it and what am I gonna I'm gonna stay your company.

1656
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: I love it, it's doing great, but you know, year

1657
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: two down the road, let me. I mean I'm looking

1658
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: to like, you know, I need more money or more responsibility.

1659
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:57,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to be this guy forever.

1660
01:22:57,760 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 1: I want to move up for sure? Is there a

1661
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 1: room are you gonna if I got a space where

1662
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: I can you know, go higher, make more money, have

1663
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: more responsibility, get more notoriety, and it's it's common, It's

1664
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: really common. I don't know. And these coaching staffs are

1665
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 1: their finite. So having a job, yeah, it's great. But

1666
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: being able to move up the ladder is what these

1667
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 1: guys you know, ultimately, it's what they are. And Sean McDermott,

1668
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's all about growth, personal growth. But you

1669
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,719
Speaker 1: know they had Ken Dorsey was now given the passing

1670
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: game coordinator rule and I know this as well. Part

1671
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: of having a good coaching staff and being a good

1672
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: coach is having contacts around the league. Guys you can

1673
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: call other head coaches that you're friends with. You know,

1674
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's got a great relationship with Andy Reid. He's

1675
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:53,639
Speaker 1: got a great relationship with Ron Rivera, who both those

1676
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: guys he worked for now he's a peer with them.

1677
01:23:57,439 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: Can he call them and say, listen, I'm looking for

1678
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: a guy who's hungry. That's a position, a young guy

1679
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: who wants to, you know, be a coordinator or a

1680
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: head coach. At some point I want to be my

1681
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,879
Speaker 1: wide receivers coach, or I want to be my passing games,

1682
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 1: my quarterback coach who's out there, and they've got to

1683
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 1: have that list ready all the time, he thought he

1684
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 1: was gonna have to use it this year with Dabo,

1685
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: and now Dabo, you wait another year. Dable's got to

1686
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 1: be fifty around there, right around fifty. Yeah, when's it

1687
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:27,639
Speaker 1: gonna be. But he's like, I don't know. At fifty,

1688
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, if he's fifty five, he's like,

1689
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 1: I don't know. What are we gonna have him for

1690
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 1: six years? You know? We want a guy that's gonna

1691
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: be with us for fifteen or twenty, you know. Theoretically, Yeah,

1692
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:39,680
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of coaches like you're saying, that

1693
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: are calling the plays that are offensive minds. But if

1694
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: you look over the course of NFL history, the head

1695
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: coaches that can be CEOs and can delegate and don't

1696
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: have the big ego and say, hey, look, I'm a

1697
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 1: great defensive mind in Sean McDermott, But I have Leslie

1698
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: Frazier here, who's who played on the eighty five Bears,

1699
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: and it has been a head coach and has been

1700
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator. I'm gonna trust him and I have

1701
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: Brian day Bole and he certainly has quite the resume

1702
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: over the past three years in Buffalo. But now we're

1703
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 1: gonna lighten his plate a little bit, or lighten his

1704
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: load a little bit, takes him off his plate and

1705
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:15,799
Speaker 1: let him be more of a CEO of the offense,

1706
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: and let Ken Dorsey get some of that experience that

1707
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 1: he needs to ultimately move up in his career. That's

1708
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,760
Speaker 1: the part of the culture, like you were saying, that

1709
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 1: is their upward advancement if you're a Bills coach, and

1710
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 1: I certainly think the Bills are showing that they have

1711
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: that type of scenario set up here at one Bill's Live.

1712
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: One last from the tweet sheet before we go to break,

1713
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 1: This is from Steve. He says this the one thing

1714
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,839
Speaker 1: is gonna make Josh Allen the offense for the Buffalo

1715
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: Bills better in twenty twenty one. The fans man, that's

1716
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna be great. Haven't people actually in the building, what

1717
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 1: a difference that will make for all of us? I

1718
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 1: can't wait to see it. I know you can't either.

1719
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 1: After the break coming up, I'm gonna ask Chris Trapasso,

1720
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 1: what you think about the extension that we're talking about

1721
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen, the extension of Josh Allen's contract. They

1722
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: picked up his fifth year. He's guaranteed twenty three point

1723
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 1: four million in his fifth year, his fourth years coming up.

1724
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 1: When does that get done? What's it looked like? Your

1725
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 1: thoughts coming up? Right after the break, This is Buffalo

1726
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: Bills Radio presented by kalidah Health and this is One

1727
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Caught me off guard. I sat down. I

1728
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: wasn't ready to get back on the area from Jay's

1729
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 1: gone three two one. Here we are, okay, Steve to

1730
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 1: asker Christoper Paso back on the air. Here One Bills Live.

1731
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: We're here till for another hour. So I just want

1732
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 1: to get get to you and Chris and asked you

1733
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: what we had this conversation yesterday. Everybody's been talking about it.

1734
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 1: It's not a question of if, it's a question of when.

1735
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: It's the Josh Allen extension. And we've seen so kind

1736
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 1: of this wide menu. Really, the wide menu was set

1737
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,759
Speaker 1: because of the Pat Mahomes contract, you know, ten years,

1738
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars, structured all kinds of exotic ways.

1739
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 1: It's pay as you go kind of so they can

1740
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: kind of take their pick and kind of change it

1741
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 1: as they go to fit their cap schedule. And Josh

1742
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: Allen is next up, and we're having this conversation about, well, okay,

1743
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 1: what does what's best case scenario if you're just Josh Allen,

1744
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 1: if it's him in a vacuum, and what about the

1745
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Bills in a vacum? Certainly they're not gonna get him

1746
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 1: to pay play for free, but what do they want

1747
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 1: as opposed to what Josh Allen wants? And what are

1748
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 1: the two ins of the spectrum? How do you see it? Well,

1749
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 1: I know you and I agree on this part. The

1750
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: Bills would want this contract signed right now, like during

1751
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: this show, but as soon as they can yesterday. Yeah, yeah,

1752
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 1: they want this signed before the season because of all

1753
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 1: the stuff that we've talked about today, the personnel, the

1754
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:42,719
Speaker 1: offensive philosophy, using the analytics to get those extra edges.

1755
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:45,799
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is set up to have another really big season,

1756
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 1: and with the defensive pieces, the Bills are also going

1757
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:53,600
Speaker 1: to be very very good if we get into October

1758
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 1: or November or December in the playoffs or even after

1759
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 1: the season. Where do you start with Josh Allen fifty

1760
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: million perc. I mean Patrick Mahomes is right at forty five.

1761
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: The thought is not going to hit cheaper. No. With

1762
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you could look at it two ways. Number One,

1763
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 1: you could say, hey, I had this amazing season. I

1764
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 1: took a gigantic step, an unprecedented step when it came

1765
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 1: to accuracy at the quarterback spot. I'm gonna not risk

1766
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 1: anything when it comes to an injury if I'm scrambling,

1767
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 1: if I'm being used on a designed run, I'm gonna

1768
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,960
Speaker 1: take my forty two ish million per season and be

1769
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 1: okay with that. But I think there is very good

1770
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:38,799
Speaker 1: justification for Josh Allen to have full belief in himself

1771
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 1: that he's going to continue to improve. All he's done

1772
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 1: in his three seasons in the NFL is go from

1773
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 1: a raw quarterback that wanted to run all the time

1774
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 1: when he fell pressure to a middle of the road

1775
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:53,639
Speaker 1: quarterback in twenty nineteen to someone that got MVP votes

1776
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 1: last year. So we know these players, and certainly these

1777
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL are super competitive and they are

1778
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: very confident in their own abilities. It wouldn't surprise me

1779
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen and his camp wouldn't really hate if

1780
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:12,600
Speaker 1: this contract got into the twenty twenty one season, or

1781
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: maybe even after the season. I brought this up when

1782
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 1: we were talking about it before the show. Remember Joe

1783
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 1: Flacco when he was with Baltimore, the deal didn't get

1784
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:22,760
Speaker 1: done and he said, Okay, I'm just gonna bet on myself. Well,

1785
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 1: they go to the super Bowl, they win, and he's

1786
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 1: the MVP boom twenty seven million bucks a year. And

1787
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: that was almost like eight nine, ten years ago. So

1788
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: he set the market because he bet on himself and

1789
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 1: it paid off, and that contract became an albatross for

1790
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Now he's gone. They drafted Lamar and

1791
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is now out of the league or or

1792
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 1: he's somewhere else and maybe his third other place. Right,

1793
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 1: So if Josh Allen bets on himself and wins, it's

1794
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: a problem. It's a real problem for the Bills because

1795
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:00,040
Speaker 1: he can flex as big as he wants now and

1796
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,160
Speaker 1: it'll be him. You'll be relying on him and the

1797
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: amount of grace you can get out of him to

1798
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 1: let you off the hook. Because here's the way players think.

1799
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 1: The season Josh Allen had last year That is the floor. Especially,

1800
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 1: that's the floor. That's what happened to Dak Prescott too.

1801
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:22,320
Speaker 1: Whatever you think about him going forward, however, he'll not

1802
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:24,679
Speaker 1: take less than what he did last year. That's where

1803
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,000
Speaker 1: he's at. Even if he comes in this year and

1804
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 1: happens like him like it did Dak Press Josh Allen

1805
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:32,519
Speaker 1: twists his ankle, missus games not the same guy. You know,

1806
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:37,800
Speaker 1: missus a season because of injury. It doesn't matter. Last

1807
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 1: year is the year you're negotiating, flip, because that's what

1808
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 1: he's worth. And so Josh can bet on himself knowing

1809
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 1: the floor has already been set at the runner up

1810
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,840
Speaker 1: to the MVP of the league probably million a year. Yeah,

1811
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: at least he's gotta get. He's gonna get more than

1812
01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. He's gonna get more than who everybody except Pat. Yeah,

1813
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 1: So that's the floor. So the Bills are saying, let's

1814
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 1: get this deal done. And what the real question is,

1815
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,240
Speaker 1: how's it going to be structured, what's it gonna look like?

1816
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:12,640
Speaker 1: When do we have to pay him? How flexible is

1817
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:14,640
Speaker 1: it gonna how much flexibility we're gonna have with our

1818
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 1: cap with his contract. Yeah, there's two points to kind

1819
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 1: of look at this with this huge Josh Allen contract.

1820
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:23,800
Speaker 1: One thing we know over the past couple of years,

1821
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:26,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Being has liked to sign some of his marquee

1822
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,639
Speaker 1: players right before the season. Tradevious White Dion Dawkins signed

1823
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:32,960
Speaker 1: deals right before the start of the season. I think

1824
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:36,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen wants to be in Buffalo. There's no contentiousness

1825
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 1: between him and this organization. He understands, Hey, they took

1826
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 1: a chance on me when I was this raw kid

1827
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 1: out of Wyoming. I've developed here. He loves the fan base,

1828
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:51,320
Speaker 1: theer's There's no negativity between the front office, the coaching

1829
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 1: staff and Josh Allen. That makes me think, hey, this

1830
01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: could be somewhat similar to a Patrick Mahomes type seven, eight,

1831
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,880
Speaker 1: nine year contract. And also how that could work in

1832
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:05,680
Speaker 1: the Bill's favor that new TV deal kicks in in

1833
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. And that's where I mean, these numbers

1834
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 1: are getting astronomical, but where paying a quarterback forty five

1835
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:16,439
Speaker 1: million dollars per season is not going to seem crazy

1836
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: when you're looking at percentage of the salary cap. So

1837
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:21,560
Speaker 1: that's why the Bills want it done now, and it

1838
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:24,679
Speaker 1: could be this gigantic number, but like you said earlier,

1839
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't really kick into those big figures cap

1840
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:32,759
Speaker 1: wise until twenty twenty three. The Patrick Mahomes deal isn't

1841
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:36,879
Speaker 1: super expensive for the Chiefs until that big TV contract

1842
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 1: kicks in. Josh Allen's agent knows that. He knows that

1843
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:42,000
Speaker 1: the Bills know that. So they're actually in a pretty

1844
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 1: good situation that the relationship is good with the front

1845
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:48,280
Speaker 1: office in their quarterback. And the salary cap that went

1846
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 1: down last year because at COVID is set to increase

1847
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:53,559
Speaker 1: this year in twenty twenty two and then twenty twenty three,

1848
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: it's going to go through the roof. Yeah, And it's

1849
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 1: all comes down to the structure of the thing the Chiefs.

1850
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes did him a favor when he signed the deal

1851
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 1: in that it's a completely flexible contract. They can they

1852
01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 1: can throw money into roster bonuses, they can pro rade it.

1853
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:10,759
Speaker 1: They can do it. Now. He does have a balloon

1854
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 1: payment and there are a lot there's a lot of

1855
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:15,680
Speaker 1: guaranteed money in the whole totality of the deal, but

1856
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 1: he didn't get most of it until twenty twenty seven. Yeah,

1857
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 1: so they can push that off and with this new

1858
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 1: money contract on a new TV contract, it's it's smooth

1859
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:29,200
Speaker 1: sailing for the league financially by that time. Mahomes deal

1860
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 1: maybe maybe an an enormous bargain at that time, which

1861
01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:36,439
Speaker 1: it probably will be given and given what the way

1862
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:40,200
Speaker 1: he's playing right now. So all of that stuff said,

1863
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:44,600
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's not if, it's when. What's it

1864
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:48,559
Speaker 1: gonna look like? Is it? Is it gonna be? I mean, okay,

1865
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 1: so do you make this a contract? So whatever it

1866
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 1: looks like. When you hear about the contract, it's like,

1867
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, wow, Like the Mahomes contract five ten year,

1868
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:03,559
Speaker 1: five hundred million. That's a month, that's like a headline. Yeah,

1869
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,679
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be closer to five plus years.

1870
01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a situation like Kirk Cousins

1871
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:11,600
Speaker 1: in Washington where he wants to just maximize, you know,

1872
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 1: short contract, get a big amount of money, and then

1873
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 1: hit the free agent market again again. I think the

1874
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 1: relationship for Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City mattered and that's

1875
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 1: why he kind of did them a little bit of

1876
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 1: a favor. And it seems like a similar relationship with

1877
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in Buffalo. Maybe we won't get to ten

1878
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 1: years with this contract, but maybe seven eight years that

1879
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:34,799
Speaker 1: would not surprise me whatsoever. And then again this season

1880
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, maybe have his kept number be

1881
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 1: a little bit lower until you have more money to

1882
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:42,360
Speaker 1: pay him. All right, good stuff is a conversation that's

1883
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:44,160
Speaker 1: gonna go on until we hear the end of what

1884
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:46,840
Speaker 1: that conversation is gonna be with the Bills and Josh Allen,

1885
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna We're never gonna know until we know.

1886
01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 1: So there we are, Christ Posso, Steve Tasker, We're coming

Speaker 1: Go there to watch some of his breakdowns of players.

1902
01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:02,000
Speaker 1: He also ranked the top one hundred players in the

1903
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:05,559
Speaker 1: National Football League. Josh Allen was on that list, along

1904
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,680
Speaker 1: with three other Buffalo Bills and a lot going on

1905
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 1: around the league. But first, Mark, thanks for coming on

1906
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:13,200
Speaker 1: with us. How are you doing here as we're starting

1907
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 1: to see light at the end of the tunnel of COVID.

1908
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, Steve Chris. Great to be with you

1909
01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 1: guys this afternoon. Doing well this summer. We're getting closer,

1910
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: we get traded, camps opening up in a week or so,

1911
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:26,840
Speaker 1: depending on the franchise. So it's a good time of year.

1912
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:29,080
Speaker 1: Football is right around the corner, and it seems like

1913
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna be pretty much back to normal. So that's

1914
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 1: very excited as well. But great to be back with

1915
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:34,920
Speaker 1: you guys. Let me ask you this right off the top,

1916
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 1: and I know I didn't. I didn't check this out

1917
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:39,760
Speaker 1: because you might know this. There are four Buffalo Bills

1918
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 1: on your top one hundred. What team had the most

1919
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:45,040
Speaker 1: that I don't know off the top of my head.

1920
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:47,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine Cheves. You know, the Green Bay Packers

1921
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:49,120
Speaker 1: have a very good roster. The Kansas City Chiefs have

1922
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 1: a very good roster. Are to imagine those two teams

1923
01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:52,760
Speaker 1: had a lot of players on there. I do believe

1924
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:55,639
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, the defended Super Bowl champions, had a number

1925
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 1: of players on there as well. You know, but it's

1926
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 1: tough any time, you know, Doug ferrard Ie we down

1927
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 1: to try to put it together, this list of one

1928
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:04,760
Speaker 1: hundred and one best players, it's really tough. I mean,

1929
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 1: there are so many incredible athletes at every single position,

1930
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:09,560
Speaker 1: and we sort of broke things down as well. We

1931
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: had outside receivers versus slot receivers, outside corners versus slot corners,

1932
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 1: So we're trying to give recognition to some of the

1933
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 1: players that maybe you don't see on lists like this.

1934
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 1: We broke it down as well, guards, tackles, setters, and

1935
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 1: so you're there's a lot of names on here that

1936
01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:24,880
Speaker 1: might be on other one hunt might not be on

1937
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 1: other one on one lists. But you know, anytime you

1938
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:30,320
Speaker 1: put together a list like this, there's gonna be people

1939
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 1: that agree with you, people that don't agree with you,

1940
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 1: and that's fine. It's part of the fun about talking

1941
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 1: about the sport we all love. Yeah. Absolutely, and to

1942
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen as your number seven quarterback, we've Steve

1943
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 1: and I have said it off the air, probably the

1944
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:47,800
Speaker 1: lowest that after Josh Allen's breakout season that we've seen.

1945
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: But then you look at the list and you see

1946
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:52,519
Speaker 1: the top six quarterbacks, it makes a lot of sense.

1947
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:56,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you specifically about Josh Allen. We

1948
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier in the show before you came on,

1949
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,960
Speaker 1: Mark that Josh Allen has colter and said that he

1950
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:04,680
Speaker 1: wants to work on inbreaking routes, throwing those with more

1951
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 1: rhythm or timing more accuracy. Did you see that as

1952
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:11,080
Speaker 1: an area in which Josh Allen needed to improve and

1953
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:14,280
Speaker 1: if not, what area do you think Josh Allen can

1954
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:17,960
Speaker 1: still improve upon that awesome twenty twenty season. It's a

1955
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:19,760
Speaker 1: great question, Chris, and I do think sort of those

1956
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 1: inbreaken routes where you have time and rhythm, anticipation emplacement,

1957
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,720
Speaker 1: sort of that trap sort of way I look at

1958
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:28,679
Speaker 1: a time and rhythm anticipation and placement. That's an area

1959
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:30,559
Speaker 1: where he can't improve. But I do think, for example,

1960
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:32,840
Speaker 1: he had to throw that San Francisco forty nine Ers

1961
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:34,519
Speaker 1: game a dig route, break it to the left side

1962
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 1: line Bill's fans probably remember that, gets it over the

1963
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:39,560
Speaker 1: underneath linebackers, drops it in front of the safety. You

1964
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,040
Speaker 1: saw that time and in rhythm. I think he's gotten

1965
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: better in that area, but it's one of the sort

1966
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:46,559
Speaker 1: of areas of his game, but he could certainly stand

1967
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 1: to continue to improve that sort of time and a

1968
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:52,240
Speaker 1: rhythm aspect on those inbreaken routes. I know that I'd

1969
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:54,439
Speaker 1: love to see Chris and Steve from Josh Allen this

1970
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 1: year is adjusted to the adjustments quicker. You know, if

1971
01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 1: you remember last season start of the year they played Miami,

1972
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: saw a lot of man coverage early in the year,

1973
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: and Josh really carved that up there. You go into

1974
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:08,720
Speaker 1: that Kansas City game, the Tennessee game, and certainly there

1975
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:11,880
Speaker 1: were other circumstances with respect to those two contests, but

1976
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 1: they saw a bit more zone coverage and it took

1977
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:15,639
Speaker 1: him a couple of weeks to sort of figure out

1978
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:18,880
Speaker 1: how to attack zone coverage be more consistent against zone

1979
01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:21,160
Speaker 1: coverage that you have that San Francisco game I just

1980
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 1: talked about, certainly that Patriots game later in the season,

1981
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 1: the Denver game later in the season where he saw

1982
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 1: more zone coverage. It was really ready to carve up

1983
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:32,759
Speaker 1: those coverage looks in the secondary going into this season.

1984
01:39:33,120 --> 01:39:34,760
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him not take a week or

1985
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:36,720
Speaker 1: two to figure that stuff out. Do it from a

1986
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:39,960
Speaker 1: drive to drive perspective. So, Okay, I've seen this now,

1987
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:41,720
Speaker 1: I know these kinds of looks. This is where I

1988
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 1: need to go on these types of route concepts. This

1989
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 1: is where my eyes need to go, this is where

1990
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:47,880
Speaker 1: my feet need to go. Now. Part of that is

1991
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:50,960
Speaker 1: just experienced. You think about guys like Aaron Rodgers and

1992
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, players that have been around forever. It seems

1993
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: like what we like to say about those guys is

1994
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing they haven't seen. There's not a defense you

1995
01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 1: can show them that's going confuse them. So part of

1996
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:03,600
Speaker 1: it with Josh Allen is just getting more familiar with

1997
01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 1: different defensive looks, the different things the defensive coordinators are

1998
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 1: going to try to do against him of the Bills.

1999
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:12,599
Speaker 1: But that's a very good problem to have anytime you're

2000
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 1: starting to think about a quarterback and wondered, man, how

2001
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 1: could he sort of get ahead of the curve, how

2002
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 1: could he jus faster? And how can he be ready

2003
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:22,639
Speaker 1: for what defensive coordinators are going to have to try

2004
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: to do to confuse him. That's a good place to be.

2005
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 1: It's not a situation where it opposed defense and defensive

2006
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:30,280
Speaker 1: coordinator could just call a defense a lot up and say, look,

2007
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:32,479
Speaker 1: we're ready for this guy. We know what he's going

2008
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 1: to do. Defensive coordinators now are going to spend their nights.

2009
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna be up sleepless the week before played Buffalo

2010
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:40,320
Speaker 1: because what they have to do, the fits they have

2011
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:42,880
Speaker 1: to try to get ready for Josh Allen in this offense. Yeah,

2012
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 1: one other question to follow up there that's a little

2013
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 1: more general, but it still pertains to Josh Allen being

2014
01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:51,400
Speaker 1: someone like yourself, Mark that is watching a ton of

2015
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:54,040
Speaker 1: film and I know that you're kind of a quarterback

2016
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:58,559
Speaker 1: guru when it comes to your analysis. How has someone

2017
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:01,880
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, Patrick Holmes, Deshaun Watson, how has that

2018
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:05,080
Speaker 1: changed how you view the quarterback position that some of

2019
01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: these guys like Josh Allen earlier in his career was

2020
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:10,840
Speaker 1: running a little bit, maybe leaving some clean pockets when

2021
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 1: he shouldn't have, but then still making a big play.

2022
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at it from the lens of in

2023
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:17,760
Speaker 1: the AFC East, there's Josh Allen, there's two a tongue

2024
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:21,080
Speaker 1: of vloa. There's a rookie in zech Wilson. How has

2025
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 1: that changed from going from the Tom Brady and Peyton

2026
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: Manning era where you wanted a quarterback to only stay

2027
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:29,719
Speaker 1: inside the pocket. How do you kind of grate almost

2028
01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 1: on a curve today with guys like Josh Allen, Deshaun Watson,

2029
01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and Kyler Murray running around. Yeah, Chris, it's

2030
01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:40,160
Speaker 1: a fascinating question, and it's really sort of the crux

2031
01:41:40,200 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 1: and the framework of quarterback evaluation right now, which you know,

2032
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:45,320
Speaker 1: for the work that you do cover the draft for

2033
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:47,800
Speaker 1: CBS Sports, you do such great work doing it. That

2034
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:51,760
Speaker 1: sort of juxtaposition between how do we view pocket passers

2035
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 1: in today's modern NFL word seems like guys like Josh Jala,

2036
01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 1: guys like Kyler Murray, guys like two guys like Justine

2037
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 1: Herbert who had a fantastic rookie year that have that

2038
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:05,680
Speaker 1: athleticism to rely upon. So when as a rookie they

2039
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 1: don't see something they're quite comfortable with on a given

2040
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:10,400
Speaker 1: play they don't see, they get a look or a

2041
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 1: blitz or some sort of design where they're not short

2042
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,760
Speaker 1: they're seeing. They have that athletic ability to fall back on,

2043
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:20,000
Speaker 1: to create, to extend outside the pocket, to keep plays alive.

2044
01:42:20,439 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 1: That gives them sort of a better window to execute

2045
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 1: and to keep the offense moving. Whereas your traditional pocket

2046
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 1: passer they can't really do that. They can't sort of

2047
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 1: move and extend and create. Defensives can sort of pin

2048
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: their ears back, know where they're going to be in

2049
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:39,200
Speaker 1: the pocket, and they have a much more consistent attack

2050
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:42,640
Speaker 1: point with how they structure their defensive schemes, so they

2051
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 1: don't look the guy's going to be within the five

2052
01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 1: yard tackle box. We don't have to worry about him

2053
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 1: on third and six. We don't have to spy that player, right,

2054
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:51,240
Speaker 1: We don't have to dedicate a linebacker, just shadow that

2055
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:53,920
Speaker 1: player in case he's going to break the pocket. It's

2056
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:56,439
Speaker 1: a little bit easier to defend. And of course the

2057
01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:59,040
Speaker 1: framework for this was Matt Jones, right, Chris right, Steve,

2058
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:01,479
Speaker 1: you know how Mac Jones a player like that, the

2059
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:05,280
Speaker 1: sort of prototypical pocket pass or going to be successful

2060
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Whereas you have other quarterbacks of this

2061
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 1: raft class, like a Zach Wilson like of Justin fields

2062
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 1: like a trade Lands that have that athleticism to rely on.

2063
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:16,920
Speaker 1: It gives them an easier learning clerk curve as they

2064
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 1: acclimate to life in the NFL. One if they see coverages,

2065
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 1: they see blitz looks and schemes that they're not ready for,

2066
01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:24,000
Speaker 1: they can create an extent with their legs, give them

2067
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 1: more time to make a decision. So I do think

2068
01:43:26,080 --> 01:43:28,160
Speaker 1: we are seeing the league sort of trend in that

2069
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:31,320
Speaker 1: direction of the more athletic quarterback, and it will be

2070
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 1: fascinating this next draft class. Right, Malik Willis from Liberty

2071
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 1: spent a rattler from Oklahoma. How are they going to

2072
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:40,439
Speaker 1: fair the sort of evaluation process versus say a Phil

2073
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,599
Speaker 1: Jakovic from BC, who I do like, but is more

2074
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 1: of that sort of prototypical pocket passer. This is the

2075
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 1: sort of next step in the evolution of quarterback evaluation.

2076
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 1: The importance of half an athleticism and how it puts

2077
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,519
Speaker 1: younger quarterbacks in a position be successful early as they

2078
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: sort of get their minds sped up to face NFL

2079
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,440
Speaker 1: defenses and defensive schemes. We're talking to the Mark Scofield,

2080
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:04,720
Speaker 1: an NFL writer for USA Today's Touchdown Wire. He also

2081
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:08,640
Speaker 1: does video breakdowns on YouTube called Summer Scouting. Mark got

2082
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:11,280
Speaker 1: to ask you this, and lately on social media and

2083
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 1: out in the cyber world, people are having regular fans

2084
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:18,080
Speaker 1: are having conversations about Steph Diggs being the reason Josh

2085
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 1: Ellen had the breakout year. And you know, how much

2086
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 1: did Steph Diggs benefit from coming over to Josh Allen

2087
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:26,120
Speaker 1: because he had his best year ever as well coming

2088
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:29,400
Speaker 1: over from Minnesota. What's your take on that relationship? How

2089
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:32,920
Speaker 1: much to eat? Certainly they're both great players. How much

2090
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:38,080
Speaker 1: do you credit everything around Josh Allen for his breakout

2091
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:40,519
Speaker 1: season as opposed to the heart, you know, just him

2092
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 1: getting better. What's your take on Josh Allen's improvement? Who

2093
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: gets the credit, who gets the blame? Who who should

2094
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 1: get the line share of the credit? Right? It's a great,

2095
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, great little problem to have, right, would you

2096
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 1: have a great receiver, a great quarterback to wonder who's

2097
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:55,800
Speaker 1: helped to the most. I think when it comes to

2098
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, his development. Certainly, Brian Dable has done tremendous work.

2099
01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:01,800
Speaker 1: It sort of on the same page with Josh Allen

2100
01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 1: with sort of turning him into a quarterback. If you

2101
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 1: were thinking back to his days coming out of Yom

2102
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:08,720
Speaker 1: and to say a couple of years from down the road,

2103
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:10,479
Speaker 1: that he would be a quarterback that has showed you

2104
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 1: time and in rhythm in the passing game, anticipation in

2105
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:15,759
Speaker 1: the passing game. You think this is not the same player,

2106
01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:17,920
Speaker 1: but we're seeing that from Josh Allen. And I do

2107
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,240
Speaker 1: think Brian Dable and what he's done in terms of

2108
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:22,680
Speaker 1: coaching him and put in sort of offensive designs in

2109
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 1: place around him, that has certainly helped. Yes, Stefon Diggs

2110
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:29,600
Speaker 1: is a fantastic acquisition, and you saw immediate benefits for

2111
01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:32,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the terms of production and the execution.

2112
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 1: The confidence anytime you use a quarterback. No, look, it's

2113
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:37,679
Speaker 1: thirty six. We've got this route called I know where's

2114
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:39,560
Speaker 1: fourteen is. I know he's going to get open. I

2115
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 1: can trust him. He's going to be where I expect

2116
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 1: him to be. That sort of confidence in a receiver

2117
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 1: is so beneficial for a quarterback. But I don't want

2118
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:49,599
Speaker 1: to overshadow the work that Josh Allen has done. We've

2119
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 1: all seen the videos, the work he's done with Jordan Palmer,

2120
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:54,120
Speaker 1: the work he's done in the offseason. Throw it on

2121
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 1: the beach, throw it with the receivers, get it his

2122
01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 1: receivers together, to work on routes, to work on concepts.

2123
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:02,560
Speaker 1: This is a three hundred and sixty five day a

2124
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:05,680
Speaker 1: year jaw playing quarterback in the National Football League. And

2125
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:07,760
Speaker 1: we talk about what be doing draft study and when

2126
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 1: Chris is doing his draft study. It's some positions. It's

2127
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:13,120
Speaker 1: a snap to whistle thing right, offensive tackle, defensive tackle.

2128
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,719
Speaker 1: I like to say quarterback is a is a meeted

2129
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:20,120
Speaker 1: room to whistle position, is a trading camp to whistle position.

2130
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,600
Speaker 1: You have to constantly be working at your craft and

2131
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 1: getting better. And it's sort of what we just talked

2132
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 1: about with Josh Allen, getting yourself ready to face what

2133
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators are going to throw out you. So Brian

2134
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 1: Dabo has certainly helped, Stefan Diggs has certainly helped, But

2135
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:37,120
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen deserves a ton of credit for

2136
01:46:37,200 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 1: the work that he has put in to make himself

2137
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:42,560
Speaker 1: one of the NFL's best quarterbacks. Yeah, Mark, I have

2138
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:44,719
Speaker 1: one follow up kind of switching gears to the Patriots,

2139
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,439
Speaker 1: because I know that you are pretty tuned in, plugged

2140
01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:51,840
Speaker 1: in with that organization going into training camp. We're, you know,

2141
01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:54,800
Speaker 1: less than two weeks out. What is the dynamic going

2142
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:58,559
Speaker 1: to be with Mac Jones and the type of offense

2143
01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:01,360
Speaker 1: that Josh McDaniels will have to install or to just

2144
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:05,720
Speaker 1: give Mac Jones practice reps compared to Cam Newton, and

2145
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:07,680
Speaker 1: we know they're going to have a quarterback battle. I

2146
01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:11,160
Speaker 1: think recently teams have kind of leaned toward going with

2147
01:47:11,240 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 1: the younger player. That's just something that's fascinated me that

2148
01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:17,080
Speaker 1: the winner of that battle is going to have one

2149
01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:20,040
Speaker 1: style of offense that is completely different from the other.

2150
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:24,759
Speaker 1: How are the Patriots going to manage getting Mac Jones

2151
01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 1: reps in an offense that's Taylor made for him and

2152
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:30,680
Speaker 1: then switching over and giving Cam Newton a different kind

2153
01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:33,599
Speaker 1: of URPO looks and stuff in the design run games

2154
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:37,639
Speaker 1: that you're not gonna necessarily utilize with Mac Jones. Yeah,

2155
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:40,760
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels has his handsful getting ready for training camp

2156
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:43,719
Speaker 1: because you're thinking about two quarterbacks that are very different

2157
01:47:43,880 --> 01:47:47,280
Speaker 1: from a trade based perspective. Obviously, Camp extremely athletic, very

2158
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:49,360
Speaker 1: moulbile sort of the quarterback we were just talking about

2159
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 1: with the athleticism, what he does offer the designed run

2160
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:55,439
Speaker 1: game from the quarterback, whereas mac Jones is perhaps more

2161
01:47:55,439 --> 01:47:58,599
Speaker 1: of your prototypical pocket pass like we were just discussing. Well,

2162
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:01,879
Speaker 1: I think what's interested sort of envisioned in the Patriots

2163
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:04,120
Speaker 1: offense is, even if it was going to be an

2164
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:07,439
Speaker 1: offense Taylor towards Mac Jones, I say, given what he

2165
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:11,800
Speaker 1: did well at Alabama RPOs play action plays, but throw

2166
01:48:11,880 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 1: a deep downfield off of play action versus that stuff

2167
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,120
Speaker 1: we typically see from the Patriots. Work it underneath, work

2168
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 1: at shallow crossers and things like that. Josh mcdadis was

2169
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:23,519
Speaker 1: going to need to Taylor the offense anyway, and the

2170
01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:26,920
Speaker 1: way hoe Taylor, it might also benefit Cam Newton if

2171
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:29,560
Speaker 1: Cam ends up being the eventual starter, right, work it

2172
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:32,439
Speaker 1: in more RPOs. Last year, I think the Patriots, accorded

2173
01:48:32,479 --> 01:48:35,880
Speaker 1: to sports Inflom Solutions, had eighteen RPO plays, which was

2174
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:38,000
Speaker 1: a massive increase from I think eight they had with

2175
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:40,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady two years ago. I think you're going to

2176
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:41,880
Speaker 1: see a lot more of those, regardless of who the

2177
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:45,719
Speaker 1: quarterback is. Because both Cam and Mac are very effective,

2178
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 1: very familiar with run at RPO designs, I think you're

2179
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 1: going to see a lot more vertical passing plays off

2180
01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:55,440
Speaker 1: of play action. Both Mac Jones very vertical at Alabama's

2181
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:57,280
Speaker 1: passing game off the play actions. I think that also

2182
01:48:57,320 --> 01:48:59,639
Speaker 1: fits with what Cam Newton does well in the passing game,

2183
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 1: and so I do think that they're gonna find more

2184
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:04,520
Speaker 1: RPOs in the playbook. You're going to see more downfield

2185
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:06,639
Speaker 1: throws off the play action because of those two areas

2186
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:09,760
Speaker 1: are sort of areas of overlap between what Cam does well,

2187
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 1: what Mac Jones can do well, what he did well

2188
01:49:11,880 --> 01:49:15,160
Speaker 1: at Alabama. Now the QB run stuff, obviously that's going

2189
01:49:15,200 --> 01:49:18,439
Speaker 1: to be more Cams sort of playbook than Mac Jones's playbook.

2190
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you're dialing up nineteen eighteen power from

2191
01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:24,360
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. If Josh Nathaniels does that, he's gonna fool everybody,

2192
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:26,519
Speaker 1: I think. But I do think sort of RPO game

2193
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:28,640
Speaker 1: that play actually deep shot stuff. I think that's an

2194
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:31,760
Speaker 1: area where Josh McDaniels can find some overlap between these

2195
01:49:31,800 --> 01:49:36,639
Speaker 1: two very different quarterbacks stylistic. So the Bills win the division.

2196
01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:39,360
Speaker 1: Last year they sweep the division. They beat won all

2197
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:42,240
Speaker 1: six games. How do you see the division playing out

2198
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:44,320
Speaker 1: this year? And what's going to be the most striking

2199
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 1: difference between last year's other three teams besides the Bills

2200
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:51,639
Speaker 1: in the division and this year's version of those three teams, right,

2201
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:53,680
Speaker 1: and I think headed into tradercap right now. I do

2202
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:55,639
Speaker 1: sort of look at the Buffalo Bills as the team

2203
01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:58,599
Speaker 1: debate in the AFC East. They obviously made a run

2204
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship game that very much everybody back.

2205
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:04,080
Speaker 1: You have the young elite talent to quarterback at Josh Allen.

2206
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 1: You have Stefande's great defensive team as well with the

2207
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 1: athletes they have included Tredavious White, one of the best

2208
01:50:10,840 --> 01:50:13,559
Speaker 1: quarterbacks of the game. And you have questions particularly at

2209
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback spot with all the other three teams in

2210
01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:17,960
Speaker 1: this division. But I do think the biggest difference is

2211
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:21,479
Speaker 1: one with New England. Can they get better production at

2212
01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback position? Because you know, people in that building

2213
01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:26,080
Speaker 1: will tell you they feel really comfortable about twenty one

2214
01:50:26,120 --> 01:50:28,600
Speaker 1: to twenty two positions. It's just the fact that that

2215
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:31,439
Speaker 1: twenty second position just happens to be quarterback, the most

2216
01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 1: important position of the game, and so that's the piece

2217
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:36,000
Speaker 1: that they have to figure out. Whether they get it

2218
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 1: approved Ken in Newton, whether they have to go with

2219
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,559
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, that's the compuzzle there. And when you look

2220
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:42,479
Speaker 1: at Miami, it's sort of a similar question. This is

2221
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:45,080
Speaker 1: a team that made a close playoff push last year,

2222
01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:48,240
Speaker 1: but can they get a better too a Tongovalo and

2223
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:50,120
Speaker 1: then they saw it last year too. It takes sort

2224
01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:52,599
Speaker 1: of a year two leap and the potential is there

2225
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:54,240
Speaker 1: for that, you know, but it's one of those things

2226
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 1: you have to see it before you're going to believe it.

2227
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 1: And with the New York Jets, I love what they

2228
01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:00,160
Speaker 1: did this offseason. I do love the Zach Wilson pick,

2229
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:02,400
Speaker 1: given what they want to do offensively. I do think

2230
01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:04,720
Speaker 1: that team's sort of a year or two away. But

2231
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:06,519
Speaker 1: I think the real thing comes down with all three

2232
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:09,639
Speaker 1: of those teams. Can they get improven and consistent play

2233
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:12,000
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. If so, the division might be

2234
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:14,679
Speaker 1: a little tier than people expect. If not, Buffalo could

2235
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 1: potentially run away in the AFC East. Yeah. Mark one

2236
01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:22,360
Speaker 1: last question that's again more general, moving outside of the

2237
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:27,760
Speaker 1: AFC East of the second year quarterbacks. Obviously Joe Burrow

2238
01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:31,760
Speaker 1: coming off the injury, Justin Herbert winning the Offensive Rookie

2239
01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:34,400
Speaker 1: of the Year, had the highest passer rating under pressure

2240
01:51:34,479 --> 01:51:39,080
Speaker 1: last season. Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia now the full time

2241
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:43,120
Speaker 1: starter after the Carson Wentz trade. Which of these second

2242
01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:45,519
Speaker 1: year quarterbacks, and maybe you can even throw Jordan Love

2243
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:49,599
Speaker 1: into that mix, is under the most pressure to kind

2244
01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 1: of be the guy in year two or maybe he'll

2245
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:55,880
Speaker 1: be cut or traded after his second season. You know,

2246
01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:58,760
Speaker 1: I think, Chris, you could make a case that if

2247
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers decide he's still played football for the Green

2248
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:04,519
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, then immediately it becomes Jordan Love, right, because

2249
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:06,519
Speaker 1: you're talking about an organization, a team that has been

2250
01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:09,719
Speaker 1: to back to back NFC Championship games, very talented roster

2251
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:11,880
Speaker 1: on both sides of the football, and now you drop

2252
01:52:12,080 --> 01:52:14,280
Speaker 1: in Jordan Love into a situation where he's replaced it

2253
01:52:14,320 --> 01:52:16,120
Speaker 1: a living legend who can still play in the National

2254
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:18,759
Speaker 1: Football League. So that might change the sort of discussion

2255
01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:21,320
Speaker 1: depending on what Aaron Rodgers does. But putting that to

2256
01:52:21,439 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 1: the side, I do think it's too h you know,

2257
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:24,880
Speaker 1: you look at a team like we just talked about

2258
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:27,519
Speaker 1: a team that was on the cusp of making new playoffs,

2259
01:52:27,800 --> 01:52:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, really made a run last season. You know,

2260
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 1: it really took some people by surprise. You know, they

2261
01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:34,839
Speaker 1: have a very talented roster on both sides of the football.

2262
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 1: But the big question is to you know, Kenny take

2263
01:52:37,320 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 1: that step forward or did Miami miss in their evaluation,

2264
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:42,760
Speaker 1: miss in the execution of the draft pick when they

2265
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:45,920
Speaker 1: drafted too and passed on a guy like Justine Herbert, who,

2266
01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:48,280
Speaker 1: as you said, one offensive rookie of the year, it

2267
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:51,200
Speaker 1: had a fantastic season Burrows coming off of the injury.

2268
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:53,760
Speaker 1: I think Herbert's season last year sort of eased some

2269
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 1: of the pressure on him. With Jalen Hurts, there are

2270
01:52:56,400 --> 01:52:58,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people that have already said Philadelphia is

2271
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:00,679
Speaker 1: going to be in the quarterback market next draft. Doesn't

2272
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:02,519
Speaker 1: even matter what he does this year, so that probably

2273
01:53:02,600 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 1: eases the pressure. He could really do nothing but surprise.

2274
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:07,960
Speaker 1: So I think all was by default. It's too given

2275
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:10,719
Speaker 1: the talent of that roster, the expectations that were around

2276
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:12,920
Speaker 1: him coming in, and the fact where you know Miami

2277
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:16,080
Speaker 1: drafted and when they did. What do you think about

2278
01:53:16,560 --> 01:53:18,880
Speaker 1: the situation in New England. I'm gonna go back to

2279
01:53:18,920 --> 01:53:22,639
Speaker 1: that team and Nikkiel Harry and Kiel Harry his agent

2280
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:27,240
Speaker 1: asked for a trade. He has he's had trouble staying healthy,

2281
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:29,240
Speaker 1: getting on the field. He's been a number one pick.

2282
01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:33,599
Speaker 1: And you know, the Patriots seemed to struggle picking guy

2283
01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 1: picking wide outs and getting guys who can be there,

2284
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:38,479
Speaker 1: come and be productive and stay healthy and all, you know,

2285
01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:41,000
Speaker 1: every problem you can possibly have with wide outs. They

2286
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,280
Speaker 1: seem to have sampled it. What do you think, how

2287
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:44,759
Speaker 1: do you think it works out there in New England

2288
01:53:44,800 --> 01:53:47,360
Speaker 1: for that and what do they do going forward? You know,

2289
01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 1: I do think Steve that they will probably find a

2290
01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:51,599
Speaker 1: way if they can find, you know, a will and taker,

2291
01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, via a trade, that they'll move to Kiel Harry.

2292
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:56,439
Speaker 1: Because obviously with the two tight ends they added Hunter

2293
01:53:56,520 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 1: Henry Jono Spith, they're gonna be a heavy twelve personnel team,

2294
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,880
Speaker 1: a lot of two tight end packages. Maybe not forty

2295
01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:03,519
Speaker 1: five percent of the time like they were doing back

2296
01:54:03,560 --> 01:54:05,760
Speaker 1: when they had Aaron Hernandez and Rob gron Kelsey back

2297
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:08,400
Speaker 1: of the start of twenty ten twenty eleventh season, but

2298
01:54:08,760 --> 01:54:11,080
Speaker 1: a good production, good chunk of the time. It will

2299
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 1: be two tight ends, and then you've got Jakobe Myers

2300
01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:15,640
Speaker 1: and Nelson Agilore. There might not be enough snaps to

2301
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:18,240
Speaker 1: go around for nikkil Harry, And you're right, Steve, they

2302
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 1: have had a problem, you know, identifying drafted and develop

2303
01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:24,640
Speaker 1: in those sort of outside boundary receivers. They can get

2304
01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:27,720
Speaker 1: slot receiver right, whether it's you know, Juliet Outam in

2305
01:54:27,800 --> 01:54:30,640
Speaker 1: Westwelk or via trade. You know, even Jacobe Myers is

2306
01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:32,800
Speaker 1: perhaps best suited as a slot receiver, but it's that

2307
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:36,240
Speaker 1: outside receiver they've really struggled at. And I think the

2308
01:54:36,360 --> 01:54:39,760
Speaker 1: lesson for Harry is when you're looking at a draft prospect,

2309
01:54:40,160 --> 01:54:43,200
Speaker 1: and Chris knows this as well, and their calling card

2310
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:46,440
Speaker 1: is they are a contested catch receiver. That's almost a

2311
01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:49,080
Speaker 1: nice way of saying they can't get open, they can't separate.

2312
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:52,080
Speaker 1: And if you're playing on Saturdays and you're a contested

2313
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:56,000
Speaker 1: catch receiver that wins fifty fifty balls against Pac twelve competition,

2314
01:54:56,080 --> 01:54:58,520
Speaker 1: against you know, Big ten competition, what's gonna happen when

2315
01:54:58,560 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 1: you go to the NFL and you face for da

2316
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 1: Vious White thirty times a game. If you couldn't separate

2317
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:05,240
Speaker 1: on Saturdays, you're certainly not going to separate on Sundays,

2318
01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:08,680
Speaker 1: and now those fifty fifty balls are now thirty seventy balls.

2319
01:55:09,160 --> 01:55:10,800
Speaker 1: It's tough to make a live in that way. So

2320
01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:12,280
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we all sort of need to

2321
01:55:12,320 --> 01:55:13,800
Speaker 1: take a step back and realize that part of the

2322
01:55:13,880 --> 01:55:16,360
Speaker 1: job for a receiver. And look, Stefon Diggs does this

2323
01:55:16,480 --> 01:55:20,400
Speaker 1: so well. Get open, get open, get separation, make yourself

2324
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:22,600
Speaker 1: aho target for your quarterback. If you're struggling to do

2325
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:24,680
Speaker 1: that on Saturdays, it's gonna be much tougher for you

2326
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:27,360
Speaker 1: to do it on Sundays. I have one more follow

2327
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 1: up from that, and it's being a draft guy as well,

2328
01:55:30,240 --> 01:55:34,240
Speaker 1: like you are. Mark, with two quarterbacks in the division

2329
01:55:34,320 --> 01:55:36,320
Speaker 1: and Mac Jones and two a tongue of Biloa that

2330
01:55:36,480 --> 01:55:40,800
Speaker 1: had this amazing situation. They threw to four first round

2331
01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:44,120
Speaker 1: picks at wide receiver an offensive line, that bunch of

2332
01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:47,560
Speaker 1: first round or second third round selections. I've had trouble

2333
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:51,680
Speaker 1: with this. I'm asking you, how are you able to

2334
01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:54,880
Speaker 1: separate what Tua did and all the big numbers that

2335
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:56,560
Speaker 1: he put up in this scene with Mac Jones and

2336
01:55:56,680 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 1: look at them strictly from the lens of how they

2337
01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:02,880
Speaker 1: are as an individual. Quarterback and that I'm almost leaning

2338
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 1: toward maybe too was just really propped up by the

2339
01:56:06,720 --> 01:56:09,280
Speaker 1: best environment in college football, and maybe that could be

2340
01:56:09,360 --> 01:56:12,920
Speaker 1: the same tale for Mac Jones once he starts playing

2341
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 1: on Sundays. Yeah, Chris, it's a brilliant question. It's one

2342
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:18,240
Speaker 1: that I struggle with. Right when you're playing behind an

2343
01:56:18,280 --> 01:56:20,680
Speaker 1: offensive line that's going to get you know, day one,

2344
01:56:20,760 --> 01:56:23,200
Speaker 1: day two, consideration of most spots when you're throwing to

2345
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:26,560
Speaker 1: guys that won the Heisman, that our first round picks,

2346
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, you're in a very good situation. You know,

2347
01:56:29,480 --> 01:56:31,480
Speaker 1: what's it going to be like when Mac Jones doesn't

2348
01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:33,000
Speaker 1: have that type of talent to throw too? When two

2349
01:56:33,080 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't have that type of talent to throw too.

2350
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 1: And it's one of those moments where you try to,

2351
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, strip away the how much, strip away everything

2352
01:56:39,080 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 1: else and just focus it sort of just spotlight the

2353
01:56:41,560 --> 01:56:44,280
Speaker 1: quarterback himself. Is he making the right decision, you know?

2354
01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:47,200
Speaker 1: Or are these guys bailing him out? Does he have

2355
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:49,560
Speaker 1: a great completion percentage? But it's really propped up by

2356
01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:52,360
Speaker 1: these guys, you know, making ridiculous catches at the other

2357
01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 1: end and sort of bailing him out at the catch point,

2358
01:56:55,200 --> 01:56:57,120
Speaker 1: and it's a tough thing to do, and you might

2359
01:56:57,200 --> 01:57:00,040
Speaker 1: be right. Ultimately, these two quarterbacks two and Mac I

2360
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:02,680
Speaker 1: just have been a function of who they were played with,

2361
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:06,000
Speaker 1: who they were playing around, rather than their own personal talent.

2362
01:57:06,280 --> 01:57:08,440
Speaker 1: And maybe it's a lesson for you know, those offensive

2363
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:10,680
Speaker 1: coordinators that, look, you've got to really help these guys. Now,

2364
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:13,000
Speaker 1: you would expect the teams would do that. Get talent

2365
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:15,440
Speaker 1: around their earn quarterbacks, put them in an offense it's

2366
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:18,240
Speaker 1: going to be suited to their skill set. But ultimately, look,

2367
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 1: it's a tough thing to do to strip away the

2368
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:22,560
Speaker 1: talent that's around those two quarterbacks and focus on what

2369
01:57:22,640 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 1: they can do and do well. It's hard to do.

2370
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:26,840
Speaker 1: I've struggled with it. I'm sure you have as well.

2371
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:29,720
Speaker 1: And ultimately we'll see. Look, are these guys to quarterbacks

2372
01:57:29,760 --> 01:57:31,520
Speaker 1: we thought they were or was it just a function

2373
01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:33,720
Speaker 1: of playing with four first round receivers and a bunch

2374
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:36,080
Speaker 1: of first round weapons and oh yeah, first round runner

2375
01:57:36,120 --> 01:57:37,760
Speaker 1: back to and Naji Harris. And one of the things

2376
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:39,720
Speaker 1: that too, I noticed about Mac Jones. Let's just take

2377
01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:43,000
Speaker 1: Mac Jones as an example and skip Ta. But you

2378
01:57:43,080 --> 01:57:45,560
Speaker 1: know Mac Jones, certainly he had a lot of guys

2379
01:57:45,640 --> 01:57:48,280
Speaker 1: around it, but it seemed to me for the most part,

2380
01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:53,160
Speaker 1: guys like Waddle and Naji Harris, those guys were not

2381
01:57:53,720 --> 01:57:57,640
Speaker 1: great players in spite of Mac Jones. Mac Jones held

2382
01:57:57,720 --> 01:57:59,680
Speaker 1: his end to the bargain up. The ball was on time,

2383
01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 1: it was on target. Certainly there were guys running open,

2384
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:05,400
Speaker 1: but Mac Jones was making the right decision, making the

2385
01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:08,880
Speaker 1: top throw on time and it was on target. There's

2386
01:58:08,880 --> 01:58:11,520
Speaker 1: a lot to be said for that. Certainly it may

2387
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:13,760
Speaker 1: have been easier than it would have been had, you know,

2388
01:58:14,040 --> 01:58:16,400
Speaker 1: he didn't have guys protect him as well as they did,

2389
01:58:16,640 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 1: or having a lesser cast of talent around him. But

2390
01:58:21,960 --> 01:58:26,400
Speaker 1: those other great players around mac Jones weren't good in

2391
01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:30,880
Speaker 1: spite of Mac Jones. They were good in with Mac

2392
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:34,760
Speaker 1: Jones helping them. Yeah, I think with Mac that's that's

2393
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:37,000
Speaker 1: definitely a good way to look at it. Also with

2394
01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:39,400
Speaker 1: two as well, because it wasn't like Mac Jos was

2395
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:42,360
Speaker 1: really holding these guys back, and you know, they would

2396
01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:44,960
Speaker 1: be open downfield thirty forty yards downfield and Mac would

2397
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:47,600
Speaker 1: just miss them. And you know, the Mac would make

2398
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:49,800
Speaker 1: poor reads and Mac was making a lot of mistakes

2399
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:51,840
Speaker 1: or they were bailing him out at the catchpoint. Like

2400
01:58:51,920 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 1: I was just talking about, it does seem like, like

2401
01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:56,520
Speaker 1: you said, Steve mac Jones certainly held up his end

2402
01:58:56,560 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 1: of the bargain. You know, this was it, This was

2403
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:00,480
Speaker 1: a team that it was expected to win. But there

2404
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:02,680
Speaker 1: were questions about mac Jones, and he answered all of

2405
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:05,080
Speaker 1: those questions. And then what you like about mac Jones

2406
01:59:05,120 --> 01:59:06,840
Speaker 1: as well as then he went down to the Senior Bowl.

2407
01:59:07,080 --> 01:59:08,600
Speaker 1: You know, he had an opportunity to say, look, I

2408
01:59:08,640 --> 01:59:10,960
Speaker 1: don't need this with just won a national championship. But

2409
01:59:11,080 --> 01:59:13,680
Speaker 1: he went down he showed that competitive side that NFL

2410
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:16,360
Speaker 1: coaches love to see, that will itness to compete, you know,

2411
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:19,560
Speaker 1: put his draft status on the line and really solidified himself,

2412
01:59:19,640 --> 01:59:22,280
Speaker 1: i'd say as a first round pick with the performance,

2413
01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:25,240
Speaker 1: particularly that Wednesday practice at the Senior Bowl, where you

2414
01:59:25,240 --> 01:59:27,080
Speaker 1: could tell watching him on film the way I did,

2415
01:59:27,400 --> 01:59:29,920
Speaker 1: he was the best quarterback down there. You really almost

2416
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:33,320
Speaker 1: felt that switch flip with the mac Jones discussion from

2417
01:59:33,440 --> 01:59:35,160
Speaker 1: maybe a Day two guy too. Yeah, he's going in

2418
01:59:35,240 --> 01:59:38,080
Speaker 1: the first round after that Wednesday practice. So he held

2419
01:59:38,200 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 1: up his end to the bargain. Now we'll see if

2420
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:42,400
Speaker 1: he could do it at the NFL level. Mark, thanks

2421
01:59:42,440 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Really appreciate a hope to

2422
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:47,480
Speaker 1: have you on again soon. Thanks, thanks so much. Guys,

2423
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:50,200

2426
01:59:57,840 --> 01:59:59,920
Speaker 1: coming back after the break. This is One Bill's Live,

2427
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:02,440
Speaker 1: presented by kalidah Health and this is Buffalo Bills Radio.

2428
02:00:15,120 --> 02:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to one of Bill's life. See tester Christo

2429
02:00:17,040 --> 02:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Trapasso or thanks to Mark Schofield of USA Today coming

2430
02:00:20,880 --> 02:00:24,080
Speaker 1: in and joining us last half hour and has a

2431
02:00:24,160 --> 02:00:26,040
Speaker 1: lot of good things to say and rank the top

2432
02:00:26,120 --> 02:00:28,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and one players in the National Football League.

2433
02:00:28,360 --> 02:00:30,640
Speaker 1: Tough job, but four Buffalo Bills were on it. You

2434
02:00:30,720 --> 02:00:34,200
Speaker 1: can guess kind of who who they were. Of course,

2435
02:00:34,240 --> 02:00:37,640
Speaker 1: it was Josh Micah Hyde, Steph Diggs and a Tredavious White.

2436
02:00:38,640 --> 02:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Where's time now, we're gonna do some NFL true false

2437
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:47,240
Speaker 1: NFL true false. Brought to you by Yancey's Fancy Yancey's

2438
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:51,640
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's Artisan Cheese. Are you ready, Chris, I'm

2439
02:00:51,680 --> 02:00:55,600
Speaker 1: ready all right? NFL true false. Number one the forty

2440
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 1: nine Ers are the most over hyped team heading in

2441
02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:02,840
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty one two false. I think that's false.

2442
02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 1: I think last year, even with the amount of injuries

2443
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:10,400
Speaker 1: that they had, they actually overachieved. To lose Nick Bosa

2444
02:01:11,040 --> 02:01:13,480
Speaker 1: very early in the season, an elite young pass rusher,

2445
02:01:14,080 --> 02:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo middle of the pack quarterback. But they lose him,

2446
02:01:17,440 --> 02:01:19,800
Speaker 1: they have to start Nick Mullins for a bunch of games,

2447
02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:24,560
Speaker 1: face the Bills on that Monday night game. To also

2448
02:01:24,680 --> 02:01:27,240
Speaker 1: lose George Kittle for a long stretch, one of the

2449
02:01:27,320 --> 02:01:30,360
Speaker 1: two elite tight ends in the NFL. I think with

2450
02:01:30,520 --> 02:01:34,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, with Trey Lance, who is a similar to

2451
02:01:34,360 --> 02:01:36,920
Speaker 1: a Josh Allen type in terms of his athleticism and

2452
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:40,320
Speaker 1: his arm talent, a good offensive line, and to get

2453
02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:43,320
Speaker 1: that guy George kittleback, the best yards after the catch

2454
02:01:43,400 --> 02:01:45,320
Speaker 1: tight end in the NFL in my opinion, and then

2455
02:01:45,400 --> 02:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa back. I think there's a lot of hype

2456
02:01:48,120 --> 02:01:50,080
Speaker 1: for them to go from you know, being at the

2457
02:01:50,120 --> 02:01:52,960
Speaker 1: bottom of that NFC West to maybe not getting to

2458
02:01:53,040 --> 02:01:55,400
Speaker 1: the super Bowl again. But I think they will be

2459
02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:58,880
Speaker 1: a legitimate contender in the NFC. Kyle Shanahan's a great

2460
02:01:58,880 --> 02:02:03,440
Speaker 1: play caller, great played to designer. That zone wide zone

2461
02:02:03,480 --> 02:02:06,600
Speaker 1: blocking scheme has withstood the test of time, from Mike

2462
02:02:06,680 --> 02:02:09,400
Speaker 1: Shanahan down to Kyle his Son. I think the forty

2463
02:02:09,480 --> 02:02:11,880
Speaker 1: nine ers with Deebo, Samuel and Brandon Ayuk, they have

2464
02:02:12,520 --> 02:02:15,560
Speaker 1: the ingredients if they're healthy, to be a really good

2465
02:02:15,600 --> 02:02:17,600
Speaker 1: team again in twenty Yeah. So they deserve the hype,

2466
02:02:17,680 --> 02:02:20,280
Speaker 1: is the point of the question and name and I

2467
02:02:20,360 --> 02:02:22,360
Speaker 1: agree with you. I don't think they're overhyped at all.

2468
02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:24,080
Speaker 1: I think they got a really good roster they got

2469
02:02:24,120 --> 02:02:26,120
Speaker 1: they got crushed last year by injuries. Now there may

2470
02:02:26,160 --> 02:02:29,640
Speaker 1: be reasons systemically for that. They may practice wrong, prepare wrong,

2471
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:32,440
Speaker 1: recover wrong, and it may happen to them again this year.

2472
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:33,960
Speaker 1: We've seen that happen to teams as well. They just

2473
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:35,920
Speaker 1: can't get out of that rut and head coaches lose

2474
02:02:35,960 --> 02:02:38,360
Speaker 1: their job because of it. But I'm with you, they've

2475
02:02:38,360 --> 02:02:40,240
Speaker 1: got enough good players if they deserve every bit of

2476
02:02:40,280 --> 02:02:42,840
Speaker 1: good things that the expectations that are attached with him.

2477
02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Can you name me a team that's that doesn't deserve

2478
02:02:45,640 --> 02:02:48,240
Speaker 1: the hype they're getting. I think the Patriots. I was

2479
02:02:48,400 --> 02:02:50,880
Speaker 1: not a big believer in mac Jones, maybe less than

2480
02:02:50,960 --> 02:02:53,840
Speaker 1: you were during the pre draft process. I think Bill

2481
02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:57,280
Speaker 1: Belichick will have the defense back on track. It's not

2482
02:02:57,400 --> 02:02:59,720
Speaker 1: going to be the defense of twenty eighteen that was

2483
02:02:59,760 --> 02:03:02,680
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl with Primes to find Gilmore in

2484
02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:05,560
Speaker 1: a you know, just a ridiculous amount of talent on

2485
02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:08,440
Speaker 1: the defensive side. They're getting Dante High tower back who

2486
02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:11,320
Speaker 1: opted out. They signed Matthew Judon in fre agency. They

2487
02:03:11,400 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 1: needed that pass rusher on the outside. The defense will

2488
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:16,640
Speaker 1: be better, but how is this offense going to be

2489
02:03:16,680 --> 02:03:19,080
Speaker 1: able to compete in the AFC with the Bills, with

2490
02:03:19,200 --> 02:03:22,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers, with the Ravens, with the Chiefs, all of

2491
02:03:22,040 --> 02:03:25,400
Speaker 1: those teams that have high level quarterback play and two

2492
02:03:25,600 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 1: three four good wide receivers their receivers right now, Jacoby Myers,

2493
02:03:30,800 --> 02:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Nelson Egilar, and Kendrick Bourne. That's their starting three at

2494
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:37,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver. They have John new Smith and Hunter Henry

2495
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the tight ends that they signed in free agency that

2496
02:03:41,240 --> 02:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Mark kind of talked about that they're going to be

2497
02:03:43,320 --> 02:03:46,200
Speaker 1: integral parts to that offense. I think the defense will

2498
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:48,360
Speaker 1: be good, but in today's NFL, if you're not scoring

2499
02:03:48,800 --> 02:03:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six points a game, it's going to

2500
02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 1: be difficult for you to really be a legitimate contender.

2501
02:03:54,520 --> 02:03:56,640
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people picking a first

2502
02:03:56,720 --> 02:03:59,160
Speaker 1: round quarterback think, hey, Bill Belichick's going to write the ship.

2503
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:01,200
Speaker 1: On defense, Max Jones is going to be like he

2504
02:04:01,360 --> 02:04:04,000
Speaker 1: was at Alabama. He doesn't have the same situation that

2505
02:04:04,040 --> 02:04:05,960
Speaker 1: he had there in college. I'll agree with you, I don't.

2506
02:04:06,320 --> 02:04:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that the Patriots of the team

2507
02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:09,800
Speaker 1: I would have picked. I picked the team that's gonna

2508
02:04:09,800 --> 02:04:13,120
Speaker 1: be overhyped in San Diego charge the LA Chargers. They've

2509
02:04:13,160 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 1: got a nice quarterback in Justin Herbert. They've got a

2510
02:04:15,680 --> 02:04:18,480
Speaker 1: brand new head coach that's going to set them back,

2511
02:04:19,080 --> 02:04:21,560
Speaker 1: a head coach in Brandon Staley who does not have

2512
02:04:21,680 --> 02:04:24,640
Speaker 1: that much experience as a head coach, and I think

2513
02:04:24,800 --> 02:04:27,640
Speaker 1: that is gonna come back to haunt them. I think

2514
02:04:27,760 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 1: that is a team that is good. And they're in

2515
02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:32,960
Speaker 1: a tough division as well, for sure, with the Raiders

2516
02:04:33,160 --> 02:04:36,120
Speaker 1: and obviously the Chiefs, the Broncos. Depending on who they've

2517
02:04:36,120 --> 02:04:38,720
Speaker 1: got a quarterback, their defense will be fine. Von Miller

2518
02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:40,680
Speaker 1: will be back in the fold there. They're gonna be better.

2519
02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:44,160
Speaker 1: So I think the Chargers are I think They're gone

2520
02:04:44,320 --> 02:04:47,360
Speaker 1: last in that division. So as good as Justin Herbert

2521
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 1: played last year, it's not gonna be enough, all right,

2522
02:04:51,120 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 1: NFL false truth false. Number two, New Orleans is the

2523
02:04:55,200 --> 02:04:59,680
Speaker 1: best NFL travel destination true false. I'm gonna go with

2524
02:05:00,640 --> 02:05:04,920
Speaker 1: I think that city, the Superdome, that it's kind of downtown,

2525
02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:08,000
Speaker 1: the certainly the nightlife in that area. I think when

2526
02:05:08,040 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 1: you're looking at the stadium itself, how loud that is,

2527
02:05:11,080 --> 02:05:13,000
Speaker 1: how it keeps in all that sound. Of course, how

2528
02:05:13,040 --> 02:05:16,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of a smaller stadium. We've seen so many

2529
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:19,560
Speaker 1: National Title games and super Bowls there. I think there's

2530
02:05:19,560 --> 02:05:22,200
Speaker 1: a reason why the NFL continues to go back there.

2531
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:24,760
Speaker 1: They have the hotels, the weather is pretty nice, the

2532
02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:28,360
Speaker 1: food's great, there's music. It's hard for me to think

2533
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:31,600
Speaker 1: of a city that should rightfully unseat New Orleans as

2534
02:05:31,640 --> 02:05:34,480
Speaker 1: the best. I'll say this, it is good. New Orleans

2535
02:05:34,600 --> 02:05:36,320
Speaker 1: is great. I have a bunch of I've traveled all

2536
02:05:36,400 --> 02:05:41,240
Speaker 1: of them, and New Orleans is very nice. Destinations great.

2537
02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:43,560
Speaker 1: I did a super Bowl there. It's when the lights

2538
02:05:43,560 --> 02:05:47,160
Speaker 1: went out. It's a great city. There's some others that

2539
02:05:47,240 --> 02:05:49,920
Speaker 1: are sneaky, sneaky good that I really like. Nashville is

2540
02:05:49,920 --> 02:05:51,600
Speaker 1: a great one to go to. It's it's kind of

2541
02:05:51,600 --> 02:05:53,960
Speaker 1: the same, the stadiums downtown. They've got a nice nightlife,

2542
02:05:54,040 --> 02:05:56,520
Speaker 1: nice restaurants, and they have their own flavor of how

2543
02:05:56,600 --> 02:05:59,040
Speaker 1: things go down there, just like New Orleans does. Another

2544
02:05:59,160 --> 02:06:01,560
Speaker 1: really nice city to go to, and this may surprise

2545
02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:04,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people's Seattle. Seattle's got a great vibe

2546
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:08,640
Speaker 1: and it's got a great sense of you know, walking around, shopping,

2547
02:06:08,800 --> 02:06:11,280
Speaker 1: doing stuff. Very nice vibe in Seattle. And then one

2548
02:06:11,280 --> 02:06:14,600
Speaker 1: I told you about in the break, sneaky good one Denver, Colorado.

2549
02:06:15,320 --> 02:06:17,520
Speaker 1: You go to Denver early in the season and it'll

2550
02:06:17,520 --> 02:06:21,680
Speaker 1: always be sunny, and you stay right downtown. It's spectacular

2551
02:06:21,760 --> 02:06:23,840
Speaker 1: as well. So those three cities are my favorites. But

2552
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:26,160
Speaker 1: New Orleans, I get it. New Orleans is a great

2553
02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:29,000
Speaker 1: got live music, but so does Nashville. Great food, so

2554
02:06:29,120 --> 02:06:32,800
Speaker 1: does Nashville, so does Denver. They've got all these cities

2555
02:06:33,160 --> 02:06:35,240
Speaker 1: or have their own unique flavor. You know what's funny

2556
02:06:35,280 --> 02:06:37,600
Speaker 1: is that this came from a recent list of the

2557
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:40,800
Speaker 1: best travel destinations in the NFL, and Buffalo came in

2558
02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:44,720
Speaker 1: at five, and the article was more about going with

2559
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:47,840
Speaker 1: your buddies for a weekend, not just showing up at

2560
02:06:47,880 --> 02:06:50,040
Speaker 1: one o'clock on Sunday, going into the stadium and leaving

2561
02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:52,800
Speaker 1: and just with the wings and the atmosphere, probably want

2562
02:06:52,840 --> 02:06:55,800
Speaker 1: to go before the snows flies. But Buffalo finished in fifth,

2563
02:06:55,840 --> 02:07:00,240
Speaker 1: which I thought, finally the bills, this environment got its due. Yeah,

2564
02:07:00,240 --> 02:07:01,760
Speaker 1: and I'll say this a couple of years ago, I

2565
02:07:01,760 --> 02:07:03,600
Speaker 1: think it was might have been our friend Mark Scofield

2566
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:05,480
Speaker 1: from USA Today. USA Today came out with a list

2567
02:07:05,560 --> 02:07:07,760
Speaker 1: and Buffalo is like a top ten traveled of food

2568
02:07:07,880 --> 02:07:11,200
Speaker 1: destination city. The food in Buffalo is, Yeah, everybody hears

2569
02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:13,160
Speaker 1: about the wings and the beef on wagon all that,

2570
02:07:13,280 --> 02:07:17,760
Speaker 1: and of course you get people from anywhere. The pizza

2571
02:07:17,840 --> 02:07:20,760
Speaker 1: is off the charts here. I mean, everybody's pizza is

2572
02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:24,440
Speaker 1: very underrated here. But it's also got some high end restaurants,

2573
02:07:24,560 --> 02:07:28,120
Speaker 1: high you know, fusion places, every there's a lot of

2574
02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:30,360
Speaker 1: really great restaurants here in the city and in the

2575
02:07:30,440 --> 02:07:32,960
Speaker 1: region in Buffalo, and that's not just wings and pizza,

2576
02:07:33,560 --> 02:07:36,320
Speaker 1: and it's really underrated. And the food he's kind of

2577
02:07:36,360 --> 02:07:38,600
Speaker 1: get it. They know coming here. There's a lot of

2578
02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:40,440
Speaker 1: great restaurants here. And I think it's one of the

2579
02:07:40,520 --> 02:07:42,920
Speaker 1: reasons Buffalo is plus you know, you got the Niagara

2580
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:44,880
Speaker 1: Falls and it's close to the you know, Canada, and

2581
02:07:45,640 --> 02:07:47,800
Speaker 1: got all of that stuff going to the natural, the natural,

2582
02:07:47,840 --> 02:07:50,680
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's easy to it's not hard

2583
02:07:50,720 --> 02:07:53,040
Speaker 1: to get to. You know, it's not hard. You can

2584
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:56,640
Speaker 1: come from Chicago, from Pittsburgh, from New York, from Atlanta,

2585
02:07:57,160 --> 02:07:59,560
Speaker 1: all the hubb they go, they come straight in and

2586
02:07:59,720 --> 02:08:02,880
Speaker 1: so it's not impossible to get here. It's yeah, yeah,

2587
02:08:02,880 --> 02:08:04,920
Speaker 1: you're right. Buffalo is sneaky good in the on the

2588
02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:09,200
Speaker 1: having a weekend and plus a weekend game in Buffalo.

2589
02:08:09,280 --> 02:08:12,560
Speaker 1: He come in for a long weekend. Yeah, awesome experience. Yeah,

2590
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:16,200
Speaker 1: everybody loves it. Okay, last one, last one on NFL

2591
02:08:16,280 --> 02:08:19,200
Speaker 1: true foals. Ryan Tannehill is a top ten NFL quarterback.

2592
02:08:19,520 --> 02:08:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say false, just barely. I think he's like

2593
02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:26,520
Speaker 1: a top twelve quarterback. We've certainly seen him in Tennessee,

2594
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:31,600
Speaker 1: revitalized his career after being extremely up and down in Miami.

2595
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see. I mean he brings or he

2596
02:08:34,360 --> 02:08:36,880
Speaker 1: has Julio Jones that that team brings him in. They

2597
02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:39,360
Speaker 1: have a j Brown who to me is a budding superstar.

2598
02:08:39,440 --> 02:08:43,680
Speaker 1: But the offense still leans on Derrick Henry. It is

2599
02:08:43,720 --> 02:08:47,840
Speaker 1: the Derrick Henry Show. And I wonder, after having the

2600
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:51,200
Speaker 1: most carries in the NFL the past two seasons, even

2601
02:08:51,240 --> 02:08:53,520
Speaker 1: though Derrick Henry is a freaking nature, He's six three,

2602
02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:56,760
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty five pounds with crazy athleticism and

2603
02:08:57,000 --> 02:08:59,680
Speaker 1: in power, if he starts to break down a little

2604
02:08:59,720 --> 02:09:02,640
Speaker 1: bit and teams can zero in more on Ryan Tannehill,

2605
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:05,120
Speaker 1: he loses his head coach or his offensive coordinator, Arthur

2606
02:09:05,160 --> 02:09:08,400
Speaker 1: Smith to the Atlanta Falcons. I wonder what type of

2607
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:10,240
Speaker 1: player we're going to see from Ryan Tannehill. I don't

2608
02:09:10,240 --> 02:09:13,520
Speaker 1: know skill wise, trade wise, I would put Ryan Tannehill

2609
02:09:13,560 --> 02:09:15,640
Speaker 1: in the top ten. I don't know if I can,

2610
02:09:15,840 --> 02:09:18,840
Speaker 1: because he because of Derrick Henry and the way they

2611
02:09:18,960 --> 02:09:21,640
Speaker 1: use him, they don't ask him to do too much. Therefore,

2612
02:09:21,640 --> 02:09:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can, and I know other

2613
02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:27,400
Speaker 1: guys can. Certainly, he's really good. He's resurrected his career

2614
02:09:27,600 --> 02:09:29,360
Speaker 1: from what happened to him in Miami, and certainly the

2615
02:09:29,720 --> 02:09:32,920
Speaker 1: organizations was as much to blame as he is. Because

2616
02:09:33,240 --> 02:09:35,000
Speaker 1: but not every team has a Derrick Henry. There's not

2617
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:38,520
Speaker 1: too many of those guys out there give Mike Vrabel

2618
02:09:38,640 --> 02:09:41,680
Speaker 1: some credit for constructing something around Derrick Henry that he

2619
02:09:41,800 --> 02:09:44,920
Speaker 1: can work with. And I'll say this, Ryan Tannehill is

2620
02:09:44,960 --> 02:09:47,760
Speaker 1: a little bit is at least a little bit underrated

2621
02:09:47,800 --> 02:09:50,160
Speaker 1: as a thrower of the football. He throws it with accuracy.

2622
02:09:51,120 --> 02:09:53,720
Speaker 1: A J. Brown wouldn't be a J. Brown without him.

2623
02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:56,440
Speaker 1: So he does deliver the football and can read the

2624
02:09:56,520 --> 02:09:59,520
Speaker 1: defenses and has some experience. So he has played extremely

2625
02:09:59,560 --> 02:10:02,720
Speaker 1: well Hennessee. But I don't know, I'm I don't want

2626
02:10:02,760 --> 02:10:07,000
Speaker 1: to discount what he's done. But man, oh man, it's

2627
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:08,680
Speaker 1: hard to give him the credit for their success when

2628
02:10:08,720 --> 02:10:10,240
Speaker 1: you got a guy like Derrick Henry and a head

2629
02:10:10,280 --> 02:10:12,440
Speaker 1: coach like Mike Rabel who has had has done that

2630
02:10:12,520 --> 02:10:14,440
Speaker 1: as well. So that's I would say, I'm gonna have

2631
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:17,080
Speaker 1: to say no to him. Yeah, just outside time falls,

2632
02:10:17,080 --> 02:10:18,440
Speaker 1: all right, We're gonna take a break. We'll be back

2633
02:10:18,440 --> 02:10:20,440
Speaker 1: to wrap things up here on one Bills Live, presented

2634
02:10:20,440 --> 02:10:22,840
Speaker 1: by Clyde to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Steve Tasker,

2635
02:10:23,160 --> 02:10:27,400
Speaker 1: Kris Chris to Pross, t Pass, Chris Trepass. So I'm

2636
02:10:27,400 --> 02:10:30,680
Speaker 1: looking right at him. We'll be right back. This is

2637
02:10:30,720 --> 02:10:46,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. What do. We learned brought to you

2638
02:10:46,440 --> 02:10:50,000
Speaker 1: by Skywork, official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2639
02:10:50,040 --> 02:10:52,880
Speaker 1: We had Mark Schofield of USA today on and he

2640
02:10:53,280 --> 02:10:55,680
Speaker 1: went down this list, and really what we learned from him,

2641
02:10:55,880 --> 02:11:01,080
Speaker 1: Chris is, you know the orderback. It's hard to pick

2642
02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:03,240
Speaker 1: the top ten quarterbacks, and when you start getting into

2643
02:11:03,240 --> 02:11:05,280
Speaker 1: the top ten, it's a little bit like splitting hairs.

2644
02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:08,000
Speaker 1: Christi Prosso went through the top hundred players at any

2645
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:10,920
Speaker 1: position in the entire league. Bills had four guys on it,

2646
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:14,320
Speaker 1: and once again, it's just a little bit more of

2647
02:11:14,360 --> 02:11:18,240
Speaker 1: the more confirmation that the Bills have high expectations attached

2648
02:11:18,280 --> 02:11:21,040
Speaker 1: to them all across the country. Yeah, for sure. And

2649
02:11:21,600 --> 02:11:25,800
Speaker 1: learning a lot about the Patriots and what that offense

2650
02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:29,000
Speaker 1: will look like, whether it's Mac Jones or Cam Newton.

2651
02:11:29,080 --> 02:11:30,800
Speaker 1: Mark kind of said, they're gonna throw the football down

2652
02:11:30,880 --> 02:11:34,520
Speaker 1: the field, a lot of RPOs, run pass options regardless

2653
02:11:34,600 --> 02:11:37,320
Speaker 1: of who the quarterback is. And then some questions about

2654
02:11:37,360 --> 02:11:40,240
Speaker 1: tah and if he can be someone that can raise

2655
02:11:40,320 --> 02:11:42,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins to the next level. One of the things

2656
02:11:42,240 --> 02:11:43,600
Speaker 1: that came out too is while we were on the air,

2657
02:11:44,440 --> 02:11:47,320
Speaker 1: betting sites come out with odds and the Washington Football

2658
02:11:47,320 --> 02:11:48,840
Speaker 1: Team announced that they're going to have a new name,

2659
02:11:48,960 --> 02:11:51,120
Speaker 1: new logo coming up in the twenty twenty two in

2660
02:11:51,200 --> 02:11:53,240
Speaker 1: January February of twenty twenty two, just after the end

2661
02:11:53,240 --> 02:11:56,440
Speaker 1: of the season. The front runner is the Red Tails

2662
02:11:57,160 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 1: or the Washington Football Team, just keeping it the same

2663
02:11:59,520 --> 02:12:01,680
Speaker 1: that it is now. Then there's also a team on

2664
02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:07,000
Speaker 1: the Red Wolves, the Renegades, the Presidents, the Sentinels, the

2665
02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:11,200
Speaker 1: Lincoln's Aviators, or the Generals. All of those are on

2666
02:12:11,240 --> 02:12:13,360
Speaker 1: the list for odds. Now, they could go off the

2667
02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:18,000
Speaker 1: board and pick something else, but right now, the Redtails

2668
02:12:18,160 --> 02:12:20,200
Speaker 1: or the Washington Football Team are the front runners. For

2669
02:12:20,280 --> 02:12:22,640
Speaker 1: any any thoughts, I'm gonna go with the Red Tails.

2670
02:12:22,640 --> 02:12:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the front count Yeah, kind of

2671
02:12:24,240 --> 02:12:26,040
Speaker 1: like I like how it sounds, just kind of rolls

2672
02:12:26,080 --> 02:12:28,760
Speaker 1: off the tongue. It pays amage to the Tuskegee Airmen,

2673
02:12:29,040 --> 02:12:32,200
Speaker 1: and I think after having the name that the Washington

2674
02:12:32,240 --> 02:12:35,120
Speaker 1: Football team had for its entire existence, it would be

2675
02:12:35,160 --> 02:12:39,320
Speaker 1: good to pay amage to that group of airmen. Any

2676
02:12:39,360 --> 02:12:41,720
Speaker 1: of the other ones seem a little bit too forced. Renegades, like,

2677
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:43,879
Speaker 1: what do you do for a logo if you're the Renegades.

2678
02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:47,040
Speaker 1: I think the airmen could be really cool on a helmet. Yeah,

2679
02:12:47,160 --> 02:12:50,640
Speaker 1: that's true, that's true. That'd be kind of cool. All right. Tomorrow, Hey,

2680
02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:53,200
Speaker 1: by the way, thanks for coming on today, Chris. Tomorrow,
