Yeah, you know her Houday. 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: It struck me today how quickly we forget how brutal 13 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: that stretch of weather was for about about a month 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: and a half, when all it would do it was cold, 15 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: and it would either snow or rain and just cloudy. 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: It is right now seventy given up to seventy five today. 17 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: But the Sunday, you know what I mean, that seems 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: like that seems like so long. You don't I don't 19 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: know what it is. I don't even remember the bad weather, 20 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: and it was prevalent. It was bad. Yeah, it was constant. 21 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: It was just cruddy weather. And I think one of 22 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: the things maybe we all benefited somehow in the pandemic 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: from having bad weather because we weren't even tempted to 24 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: go outside. Right, it's right, we're locked in. Let's just 25 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: stay in and put on their next binge watch and 26 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: let's go, you know. I mean it was certainly yeah. 27 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: I probably my diet suffered for it, but you know, 28 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: I mean I didn't exercise, but golly, at least I 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: didn't get sick, you know. That's right. It's so nice 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: today seventy now going to be up to seventy five. 31 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: So nice that Steve Tasker has contemplated wearing a kilt 32 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: when he plays golf this afternoon. Really, Steve, I mean, yeah, 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: I gotta think called. It's called a utila kilt. So 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: it's not like plaid and all that stuff. It's a big, 35 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: heavy to work like a work kilt. Right, so, and 36 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: I've worn it once before. What's a work kilt? Who 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: goes on? It's not like a dress up thing. You 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: can go out and do whatever you want to do 39 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: in these things. That's what they're designed for. And it's 40 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: a company called Tila Kilt. Right, so I got one, 41 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: and I woren't one time to play another question before 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: you get too far down the road. Here go ahead. 43 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: Why do you have one? Was it a gift? Did 44 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: you bother us? And I all right, here's the thing. 45 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: I'm out on the road for CBS, and I got 46 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: some time to kill in Seattle, Washington. Seattle's and by 47 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: the way, Seattle great town, you know, I love, right, 48 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: So we stayed. The hotel we stayed in Seattle was 49 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: in a great spot in town where I could walk 50 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: down to Old Town and it's one of those places, 51 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: the place where they built the city on top of 52 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: the old city. Yeah right right. So I'm walking down 53 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: through this old time coffee shops, little bars, little bistros everywhere. 54 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: It's really cool walking, you know stuff. And there's this 55 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: store called Utila Kilt. I'm like, what, like you are? 56 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: Like why? You know? So I go in and you know, 57 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: you're supposed to wear these with like uh, you know, 58 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: like work boots, high socks and you know, and do 59 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: work it. You're supposed to wear in this like a 60 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: fashion thing. You just it's like it's they've got they're 61 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: built like with pockets and belts and you know you 62 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: can like hook on a hammer to it and whatever. 63 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: If you want to have work and doing stuff, you 64 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: can actually wear them every day. And I was like, okay, 65 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: cool and they look cool. I mean, they were great, 66 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: and they're really really heavy material, I mean like indestructible canvas, right, 67 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: So I thought, oh, those are cool and you know 68 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: they make you know, you walk in the store when 69 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: everybody's wearing them and they're like, yeah, those are kind 70 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: of cool, right. So I didn't think too much about it, 71 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: so I didn't. I was like, yeah, they're kind of 72 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: pricey because they are you know, built to last forever. 73 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: And I was like, ah, I can't, I can't do it, right. 74 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: So he left. So then like a couple of years later, 75 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm back in Seattle and there the store is again, right, 76 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: And then this time I got the Misses with me 77 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: and we made a weekend of it, and my daughter 78 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: came down from Alaska and all that. So we're so 79 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: I got one right. So well, now the question is 80 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: will where do you wear a kilt? That's one of 81 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: the many questions because what I did was right so 82 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: the first time, and really, I gotta tell you. The 83 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: only time I've worn is isn't a golf on the 84 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: golf course when I was out with my boys and 85 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys for my one of my kid's weddings, 86 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: one of my son's weddings, So they had a bunch 87 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: of guys were you know, cigars and stuff. So I 88 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: wear the kilt for fun. And what I find out 89 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: is physically a kilt is like as comfortable a thing 90 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: as you can possibly wear. Man, it is so nice, 91 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: right you can imagine, right, So it's you know, it's 92 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure, yeah, very very non constricting, right yeah. And 93 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: a breeze in the Netherlands where you're not used to 94 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: having a breeze exactly, you feel like, yeah, I can, 95 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: I can swing free, swing right, so to speak, on 96 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: a golf right. So physically best thing ever, best thing 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: ever physically, emotionally and mentally not so comfy selfe yeah yeah, 98 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: but like if you stand out right, and so I'm thinking, 99 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: but I did so I thought, you know, I did 100 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: use it to my advantage though, because you know, golf 101 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: is a kind of a game where if you're playing 102 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: in a match, you getting inside the other guy's head 103 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: is helpful. Right. So I started thinking, listen, if I'm playing, 104 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm playing good, and if I'm in the match, 105 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying, listen, if you guys lose this match, you 106 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: gotta beat by a guy in a skirt. So I 107 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: used it like all of those ways. So it was 108 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: it was fun. I only want it once, but it was. 109 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: It was so physically comfortable. But man, you really really 110 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: got to work at it to get over the mental 111 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: part of it. Wearing him a kilt, you know, yeah, 112 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: very very comfy, and you're thinking about wearing it today 113 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: maybe when you go. I was going to, but you 114 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: know what, I don't have the accessories to go. I 115 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: don't have like the high black socks that I wear 116 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: with my golf shoes and stuff, and I don't. You 117 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: can't don't really want to golf in the rugged boots 118 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: that they recommend you wear with it. So I'm doing it, 119 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: sticking on the shop the first first day of the year. 120 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: I'm wearing shorts. Though. So your buddy Steve Christie has 121 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: been spotted in kilts. I've seen him wearing a dress 122 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: up kilts, right. He wears him. He used to wear 123 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: him on road trips. He would wear him go on 124 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: the road. I talked him into wearing it for the 125 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: first time I ever saw him where it was in 126 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: my last game in Green Bay where I got tossed, 127 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: like early in the game. I said, come on, it's 128 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: my last game. You gotta wear the kilt, you know. 129 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: Of course, everything back then you had to fly it 130 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: by Marv because Marv was it was a business trip, 131 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: so guys had to You had to wear a coat 132 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: and tie right, Yeah, so you had to, Yeah, you're 133 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: going to do something like that. Of course, you gotta go. 134 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: You gotta fly by the commissioner kill. So I don't 135 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: think he did that because I think under the rule 136 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: of the team rule, you had to have a coat 137 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: and tie on. Right. Well, the kilt you know, has 138 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: the like the tails he had, like the he Chris 139 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: Haggis did it up. He had the white coat with 140 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: the with the double breasted half vest front and the 141 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: double you know, brass buttons on it, and it looked 142 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: like he looked like a million bucks. It was awesome outfit, 143 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, it looked great. So he wore that and 144 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: no man, Marv loved it, I guess, and it was great, 145 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: but it was bad luck for me because it's the 146 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: game I got tossed out in the last That's why 147 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: I remember it, right, he did it. I talked him 148 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: into it. I said, come on for me, right my 149 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: last game. Yeah, and and I should have said you 150 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: wear the kill and all get tossed out win. With 151 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: his ethnic background, with his um, you know, his background 152 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: as the scotsman, I'm okay, I guess with Christie wearing 153 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: a kilt, I mean that's I saw it. I thought, wow, 154 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: that's interesting. But you don't have that ethnic background, you 155 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 1: don't have that same nationality. So with you, I'm thinking 156 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: that's weird. My ancestors are British Isles, but I don't 157 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: know what that you know that means? Actually? But um, 158 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: I guess mine right, right? So why mine would be Yeah, 159 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: you're Irish and as I said, I would not be 160 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: called dead and the kilt I don't feeble to need to. 161 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: Uh are you sure there's never been any cross pollination 162 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: from I don't think so. I think I'm like ninety 163 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: percent Irish. But okay, anyway, um, these are you know, 164 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: more of they're not a plaid.

That's kind of the the 299 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: gist of it. And but for me, that stuff is 300 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: just the human side of it, and the families and 301 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: the and the emotion and the happiness and the joy 302 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: and the tension. It's interesting. It's just so fun to watch. 303 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: That's why I really enjoyed Embedded this time. Yeah, I 304 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: liked them. I watched it last night, I guess after 305 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: the show at some point, and but um, I like 306 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: the Combine stuff and I liked and obviously they had 307 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: cameras on the Bills group for most of the Combine, 308 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: and they didn't know who they were going to draft 309 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: the Bills nor the people shooting it, but they took 310 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: the stuff about the Bills draft picks aj epinessa Gabriel 311 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: Davis prominently and watched, for instance, a random Bean and 312 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: his crew, you know, watching those guys work out. Being 313 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: right before Davis ran the wide receiver right from Central Florida. 314 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: Brandon like he's rooting for a time. He didn't want 315 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: to run too fast. That was fun. Yeah, he says, 316 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: don't run too fast. Yeah. And then when they had 317 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: him in for interviews at the Combine too, I thought 318 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: that was good. With Epanessa, they maybe Joe Eponessa talked 319 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: about how he's a big fan of von Miller, and 320 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: of course von Miller and ruined Sean McDermott's and Brandon 321 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: being shot at a Super Bowl with Carolina a couple 322 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: of years ago. So that was fine. It was just 323 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: a lot of good moments like that. The interview portions 324 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: with Davis and with the Epinessa I thought were really good. 325 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: It's it's definitely worth watching. It's what is it twelve minutes? 326 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: Is that the like of it? That's it, right, that's it. Yeah, 327 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: it's twelve minutes. It doesn't take forever, and it's and 328 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: it's and it's very well done. Uh, there's a lot 329 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: of stuff, and you get a real sense of where 330 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: the space was, where these guys got drafted, where Brandon 331 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: Bean was and where you know, and McDermott and the 332 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: conversations before, during and after you get and he also 333 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: it's interesting too because when they're talking to Epinesza, you know, 334 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: as Brandon Bean stand sitting there and next to Sean McDermott, 335 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: next to Leslie Fraser and Eric Washington is there. Yeah. 336 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: Then when then when they're they're talking to like Zach 337 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: Moss or if they're talking to uh, the receivers, they're 338 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: sitting there and it's Brandon being Sean McDermott and as 339 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: Brian Dable and the wide receiver coach sitting next to 340 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: the kid, right, So they change all those guys out 341 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: and then and I hadn't really thought about that. I 342 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: thought it's going to be a group of guys in 343 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: the room, and they were only allowed so many people 344 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: at a time in the room because of all of stuff, 345 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: and certainly the Bills, um, you know, picked the guys 346 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: they want to make. I hadn't really thought about that, 347 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: but it's true. It was to hear Eric Washington talked 348 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: to aj Epeness about his technique and what he was 349 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: thinking on this play on film and have Epanzza talk 350 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: about his technique and what he was thinking. It's great. 351 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: You know, some of that stuff is just really interesting, 352 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: really interesting, and you can see it now. It is 353 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's embedded the twenty twenty draft Becoming a Buffalo 354 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: Bill that's presented by next Stiva. It's available on the 355 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: YouTube the Bills YouTube channel. It's available at Buffalo Bills 356 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: dot com and on the Bills app. It's worth watching. 357 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: It's worth twelve minutes over this long holiday weekend this 358 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: year's and I guess I was reading Jeff Matthews didn't 359 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: an interview. It's a third, third year in a row 360 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: they've done in bed it it seems impossible. It's a 361 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: really good series, really good. It takes you behind the scene. Hey, 362 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: I want to talk about a couple of things and 363 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: we'll get to our Twitter poll today. But I'm surprised 364 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: to read this overnight. Apparently teams are calling the Dolphins 365 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: about a trade for Josh Rosen. He's there. They've got 366 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: the two a Tago Taga Bayoloa, They've got Ryan Fitzpatrick. 367 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: They don't need Josh Rosen. They probably won't play Josh 368 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: Rosen much. But I guess I'm a bit surprised. I 369 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: don't take anybody's offering a premium draft pick for Josh Rosen, 370 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: but probably a late round draft pick. And why not, Steve, 371 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, Rosen has had a rough start 372 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: to his NFL career a couple of years, right, and 373 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: didn't get much of a chance at all last year 374 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: to play after playing, you know a little bit more 375 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: in his rookie year in Arizona. But he still has 376 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: the the traits. You know, it's a great cos I 377 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: would say, the traits that made him a first round 378 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: pick a couple of years ago. There's no wear and 379 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: tear on those tires. You'd have to if you were 380 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback to develop, Josh Rosen would probably 381 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: be as decent a bet as anybody. I don't. So 382 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: he's a boss. You know, you want to call him 383 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: a bus, go ahead, But I don't know if he's 384 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: a put out to the curb, take him away, bus. 385 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 1: It's a guy who hasn't hasn't had success yet, it's 386 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: worth a chance. I think for some teams absolutely and 387 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: think about this Murph. So they're sitting there with Ryan 388 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and then they've got TWA. But Josh Rosen has 389 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: been in the building for the entire year. He knows 390 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: the offense. He's gonna know it as well as anybody. 391 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: He's a sharp guy. One of his attributes was he 392 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: ran a pro style offense at UCLA. He's been in 393 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: two different offenses in the NFL, one in Arizona and 394 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: now one in Miami. He will be a great insurance 395 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: policy if, say, for instance, if two is not quite ready, 396 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: if they want to give him three months physically, they 397 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: want to give him maybe three or four games in December, 398 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: right the last three or four games of the year, 399 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: to get him acclimated to the game and let him 400 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: see what it's like to be a starter before the offseason. 401 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: If their season unfolds like that. But what happens if 402 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: Fits gets, you know, a crack foot on Week one? 403 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: They're not gonna want to throw Twa out there right away, 404 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: but they will throw Rosen out there because he knows, 405 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: he'll know the offense, he'll have some experience. He you know, 406 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: it won't be too big for him, and you won't 407 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: put two in a position where he's gonna fail right 408 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: off the bat or get hurt right off the bat 409 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: if he's not one hundred percent. So I think the 410 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: reason Rosen is there is as an insurance policy against 411 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: Twa having to play, being forced in when the club 412 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: really doesn't think it's in his best interest. Right are 413 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: you saying, well, I don't know if it's right. You're 414 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: saying the Dolphins shouldn't or won't trade Josh Rosen. I 415 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: don't think they will. I think they need a guy 416 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: like Rosen, particularly a guy who's gonna be there picking 417 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: up the offense and you know he's and he'll be 418 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: able to help Fits a little bit as well. Since 419 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: they were together last year, they probably got a relationship. Uh. 420 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: It's he's probably a good presence for you know, he's 421 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: got some traits like you say so, I think they 422 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: like him, uh in the spot that he's at now, 423 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: and if they get into a pinch, they would rather 424 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: throw Rosen out in the middle of a tough year 425 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: if two is not one hundred percent ready and they 426 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: don't want two to make a bad impression on their 427 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: fan base right away. You know what they don't want 428 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: to see, you know, the Dolphins. The last thing they 429 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: want is their number one picked to go out there 430 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: and flop around with Dolphins. I think they will absolutely 431 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: if they haven't traded him yet, I don't think they will. 432 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,479 Speaker 1: If the offer is good, they'll trade him. Look if 433 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: it's better than a fourth, if it's a fourth rounder better, 434 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: I just think the Dolphins would have to listen heart right, yeah, 435 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: we'll give me a fourth rounder. Will give you a 436 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: third rounder for that guy? What do they trade? And 437 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: I can't remember what they traded to get Rosen? I 438 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: don't either. They did trade for him right now, you 439 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: got me. Look, I think I think they did, and 440 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: so I would you know, they say, well, what you know, 441 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: let's get the kid and look him, evaluate him and 442 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: if he's that, if he's any good, we got a guy. 443 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: And if he's not if we trade him now we 444 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: can get back what we even put into him. So 445 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: it was a you know, it was a no loss, 446 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: no win, no win, no loss situation right now. And 447 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: there are other quarterbacks out there, But you know what 448 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if they don't Rosen, they can find somebody else, 449 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, that's what I was gonna say, Cam Newton. 450 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: He can get your doctor's hands on Cam Newton and 451 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: they say he's healthy. Yeah two, him might have no 452 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: problem sitting on the bench for a year with Cam 453 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: Newton on the field right Well, Josh Rosen, they're getting 454 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: calls about him. Um a second round pick to the 455 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals in exchange for Rosen? That's you know, would you 456 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: trade a second round for him? Now? I don't think 457 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: any team is going to offer that. If somebody does, 458 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: there was last year. It was a second round pick 459 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: to Arizona. The Dolphins gave up to get Josh Rosen. 460 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: So if they get a tough rounder a second, yea. 461 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: If somebody offers them a second round er, now I 462 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: think they jump on it. You know, they're deep at quarterback. 463 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: If somebody offers them a third rounder, maybe even a 464 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: fourth rounder, they might take it. I just think, you know, 465 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: I don't think they're interested in Miami, and there would 466 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: be another guy to take if they if they wanted 467 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: to find somebody else. One other note, NFL teams permitted 468 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: to reopen facilities next Tuesday as long as local regulations 469 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: allow it. The Colts are going to begin that process. 470 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: They're talking about next tuesday opening up their facility in 471 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: the state of Indiana. I think, as we said, the 472 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: bills are probably you know, a week or two behind that, 473 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: and it's fine, you know. And it's not players and 474 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: coaches yet, no word uneman that will be. But staff, 475 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: you know, getting what fifty percent of the staff, no 476 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: more than seventy five people in I could see the 477 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills doing that in a couple of weeks, you know. 478 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: One of the things that hold you back on this 479 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: whole thing, Murph. Now, these are great positive steps, and 480 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: you think about it if it was in a different contact. 481 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: I don't know how you get your mind around it. 482 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: But moving towards getting back into work should be like 483 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: this kind of these monumental steps. Although they're incremental, it 484 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: doesn't it just seem fragile to you like it does 485 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: to me, Like the money they go back in. All 486 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, somebody's gonna show up sick and it's like, ah, 487 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: now they're gonna shut it back down, right, or something 488 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: like that. It just seems fragile to me, And I 489 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: don't know where that mindset comes from, because none of 490 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: the my immediate family has been has gotten the virus. 491 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: I know one guy who has gotten it. I know 492 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: one guy who's gotten it, just one. So for me, 493 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: it is it has been, you know, a far away 494 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: kind of thing, but we've been really careful. So for me, 495 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: it seems fragile. Somebody goes into work, they get sick, 496 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: they come show up with a temperature. I mean, that's 497 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: how we got kicked out of the studio, right, we 498 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: had one guy had a temperature. Right, So all of 499 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: a sudden, we're at home and we've been home for 500 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 1: two two and a half months or going on two 501 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: and a half months, So it seems fragile. When they 502 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: start opening these facilities up gradually, step by step, it's like, great, 503 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: you would think we would all be a little bit 504 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: more optimistic about it. I'm having a hard time getting there, 505 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: surprising myself. Yeah, I agree, I'm kind of in that boat. 506 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,239 Speaker 1: And I would say it's probably not a bad thing 507 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: to be right now. As a matter of fact. You 508 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: know how I watched the governor usually when he's on 509 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: an eleven thirty. Watched them this morning, and you know, 510 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: things are getting back to normal, but they're not back 511 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: to normal. Yeah, and caution, I think is the right 512 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: way to handle it. So don't don't second guess yourself. Steve, 513 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: When is it gonna take like a vaccine? You know, 514 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if they get a zach vaccine. And 515 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: are you just is that the first time you're gonna 516 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: go Okay? I don't know. I've been inoculated, you know. 517 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna change it for me. They're talking 518 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: about antibodies maybe, but I don't know. I think it's 519 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna linger for a while this whole 520 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: or And we talked a little bit about that. Uh well, 521 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: I can talk about Andrew Brand about it today, but 522 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: yesterday's guests, I think it was right. Dominique Foxworth, you know, 523 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: when are people are gonna feel good, feel comfortable enough 524 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: to go in a seventy thousand seat stadium or a 525 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: fifty thousand seats stadium, even if it's you know, six 526 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: feet apart, you're gonna feel comfortable. I don't know. I can't. 527 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: I don't have that. I think I think it's I 528 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: think I think he just kind of waited out and 529 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: let the crazies or the really or the people who 530 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: have a chip on the shoulder about saying I was 531 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: at every game, you know, including the pandemic games, you 532 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: know that those. Yeah, I've met a lot of people that, 533 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, even during the the days in nineteen eighty 534 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: four and eighty five when they were two and fourteen 535 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: and going two and fourteen again, and there's fifteen thousand 536 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: people in the stands at one Bill's Drive. Yeah that 537 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: I was there, you know, And so there's people like that. 538 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: But still, um, I you know, if you get innoculated, 539 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: you gotta feel okay. Then if it works and if 540 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: it's proven and tested, sure, but we'll see. We're still 541 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: once away, I think from that. And do you know this, 542 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: when they do start to open up, I hope that 543 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: they maintain that prohibition against wearing a kilt in the stadium. 544 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: I think that would be a real setting. There there's 545 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: no prohibition against where I said it there, I'm Mark 546 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: I'm tromping right up to the radio, but you're not in. 547 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: You will not be.

He worked hard of the run game, 653 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: great blocker, ran his heart, ran his routes with a 654 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: little grit, and um, yeah, his body language on the 655 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: field was everything he wanted a player. Um, I'm a 656 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: big fan of his as well. And I and that 657 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: you know what it like humor. I had no hard 658 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: feelings when he when he left, No, it made sense. 659 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't either. I thought he was really he made 660 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: he hit a home run. Financially, I think he's making 661 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: really good money. And um had a chance to go 662 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: home like like the caller said, dude, and that h 663 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: I guess he handled it the way it should have 664 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: been handled, which is why you know him being that 665 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: kind of guy as the kind of guy you wish 666 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: was on your team. Yep. Best two quick Robert Wood stories. 667 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: One first time I ever really talked to him, It 668 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: was right around this time of year, you know, the 669 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: rookies were in his rookie year for the rookie Mini 670 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: Camp and then stick around for you know, offseason workouts. 671 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: And I ran into him one morning the players were off, 672 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: the rookies were off. I'm ran into him at what's 673 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: it called Original Pancake House here in Norton Park, and 674 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: he was there with I think a girlfriend, and we 675 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: just you know, he said, hey, sit with me, and 676 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: we sat and talked and then had a good conversation. 677 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: He wanted to know about Buffalo and what's going on. 678 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: I like that about him. And then our producer Jay 679 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: Harris and I bumped you know, we didn't bump into him. 680 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: He was part of the media night with the Rams 681 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: down there in Atlanta, and he couldn't have been nicer. Jay, 682 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: just nod your head again if you remember that he 683 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: was nice. He was a good guy. You don't need 684 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: to put your mink up, Jay, Just nod your head. Yes, 685 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: it's nice, you know, you know it's nice. No, the 686 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: league's full of great guys. Yeah. Really. You always hear 687 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,239 Speaker 1: about the knockle heads here and there and all over 688 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: the place. You know, they're sprinkled, But the bulk of 689 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: the league is made up really solid guys, and it's 690 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: and it's nice to be reminded of that once in 691 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: a while by guys like Robert wood Yep. Take a 692 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: call here from Dave on Grand Island. Hello, Dave, you 693 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: around the air with us? Go ahead. Yeah, I agree 694 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: with all three of those picks. But I really hope 695 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: people give a loud cheer for Frank Gore when he 696 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: comes back this year, especially the first game. He did 697 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: a lot for the team. He did a lot for 698 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: our running backs. You know, he showed sure clients with everything, 699 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: took Singletary under his wing, and you know, started him 700 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: off in a good way. So I hope the fans 701 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: appreciate him when he comes back. Yeah, I agree, And 702 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on this team. I 703 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: will say this, I don't feel like I got a 704 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: chance to really know Frank Gore very well. He never 705 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: came on our show, which is fine, and I don't know. 706 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: He's only here for a year, and he didn't want 707 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: to interact, it seemed, with anybody except his teammates, which 708 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,959 Speaker 1: is fine. And he interacted with his teammates and they 709 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: all loved him and respected him, and I respect that 710 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: as an outsider. That guy's popularly among that group. Okay, 711 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: there must be a reason why I respect that about 712 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: Frank or that I think so too, And particularly since 713 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: he's spent one of his years of his career here. 714 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: It wasn't the best year of his career, but he 715 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: did comport himself well, and he did exactly what the 716 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: Bills wanted him to do. And the guy gave an effort. 717 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: And yeah, and I think Bills fans appreciate it, particularly 718 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: given the totality of his career and the fact that 719 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: he was a Buffalo Bill. Yeah, that that gets a 720 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: notch um. I would gladly applaud and cheer that guy 721 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: when he comes back. Maybe not the entire game every 722 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: time he touches the ball, but if he ever gets 723 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: introduced or if his name's called out, certainly give him 724 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: an extra bit. So, yeah, I'm that's a good call. 725 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: It's a good it's a good thought. He's coming back. 726 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: He'll be here for the first game of the year, 727 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: right with the Jets. That's the perfect time cheer and 728 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: give him that cheer. But one thing, you know what, 729 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: I remember Week one last year he was on the 730 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: Bills versus the Jets and he and he plowed that 731 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: guy into the end zone week one. Remember, No, that 732 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: was the Giants guy he plowed the needs one is 733 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: week two that they were in the same stadum. Yeah, 734 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: but he was on the field for the Bills in 735 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: Week one against the Jets last year, So that'll be 736 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: a really interesting moment when he gets introduced for the 737 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: other team on week one. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't hadn't 738 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: thought about that, but that's and that's a great call. Thanks. Yeah, 739 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: you know the game frank Or got his fifteen thousand 740 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: yards last year and he got a good uh. I 741 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: think that's the game. It was a home game, right, 742 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: frank Or. Yeah, he hit fifteen thousand yards. You got 743 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 1: forty one yards in one game. And I think Bills 744 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: fans reacted really well. I mean, the guy had just 745 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: arrived on the scene last year, you know, fourth player 746 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: to rush for fifteen thousand yards against the Patriots. That's 747 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: when it was forty one yard rush and people went 748 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: crazy and he deserves it, and I think Bills fans 749 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: will respond, you know, a nice warm round of applause. 750 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: They don't have to go crazy, Like I said, It's 751 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: not like there's a tradition of you know, there's no 752 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: tradition of booing bills who go to other teams. For 753 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: the most part. Here's another idea from Chuck and Hamburg. Chuck, 754 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air, Hey, guys. For me, 755 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: it's still the one that got away. It is Jason Peters. 756 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: I know he's not on the Eagles right now. I 757 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: don't even think he signed to a team yet. But 758 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent. You know, it came in as a 759 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: tight end. I remember being so enamored with his development 760 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: into left tackle. They signed him to like that eighty 761 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: bitty extension, and then he wanted big bucks and they 762 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 1: just they shipped him out of here. The guy's gonna 763 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer for me, Chuck, can I 764 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: just stop you for a second. He did want big bucks, 765 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: they weren't ready to pay him, and they shipped him 766 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: out of here. But in that time frame, what did 767 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: you think of Jason Peters end? Because well, let me, 768 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna color your answer for you. He was not 769 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, players always are looking for more money and 770 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: looking for leverage. Okay, I just thought Jason Peters mishandled that. 771 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: You know, he was by all accounts falling asleep and 772 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: meetings and not being a good teammate and not caring 773 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 1: too much about what he did. And I lost respect 774 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: a certain amount of respect for Jason Peters in the 775 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: time frame before he was traded away. Is that unfair 776 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: to say? I don't know? What do you think? I don't. 777 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: I don't really recall all that, To be honest with you, John, 778 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: I really don't. Um, maybe because it was such a 779 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: long time ago and we kind of forget about it. 780 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: I mean, guys, that's got to be what over a 781 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: decade ago, yep. And uh, I just I remember being 782 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: just so enamored with him, you know, coming out it 783 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: was just a really raw prospect. I can't even recall 784 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,879 Speaker 1: the GM that you know, he he you know, maybe 785 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: had you know, a disagreement with that, you know, shipped 786 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: him out of here. But it was just amazing to 787 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: watch him progress. And I mean, the guy's gonna be 788 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: in Canton one day. And to think that he started 789 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: off as a Bills undrafted free agent, we traded him 790 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,919 Speaker 1: out of here. That was just it. Still it still 791 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 1: sticks with me a little bit. Well, I'll tell you, yeah, 792 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: go ahead. Well, I just want to say I don't 793 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: think he gave the Bills any choice. I don't think 794 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we shipped him off because we didn't 795 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: know what we had. They know what they had. They 796 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: knew he was a good player. They knew he was 797 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: a freak of a good player. They, you know, Miles 798 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: McNally basically schooled him into being a really good offense 799 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: tackle with all of his athletic ability. But they knew 800 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 1: what they had. He just gave him no choice with 801 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: his behavior. That was my take on It' Steve, I'm 802 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: sorry they that now, not at all. Jason Peters did 803 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: not want to be a Buffalo Bill. Yeah, That's why 804 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: I don't cheer for him. He wanted out. He didn't 805 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: he didn't like the town, he didn't like being here. Uh, 806 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: he certainly didn't like his contract. He made it known. 807 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: He forced their hand because that that's one of the 808 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,280 Speaker 1: few guys who just didn't want to play in Buffalo. 809 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: And that's that's the way I understand it. He may 810 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 1: dispute that, but that's the way it's been reported to me, 811 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: and it's the way it's been related to me, and 812 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: and that takes him off the list for me. I 813 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: know that. I believe me he is going to Canton. 814 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: Guy's a phenomenal player as a tight end. Was six four, 815 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: two hundred and whatever sixty pounds or three hundred pounds. 816 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: He was running four or five to forty. The guy 817 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: was an unbelievable athlete. And uh, they knew when they 818 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: drafted him they were gonna move him into left tackle. 819 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: And man o, man, did he ever? Did he ever 820 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: come through for the Philadelphia Eagles with a great career, 821 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: but he didn't want to. He didn't want to give 822 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: that career to the Buffalo Bills. April two thousand and nine, 823 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: he was traded to Philadelphia for a first round pick, 824 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,479 Speaker 1: which was used on Eric Wood. I think the Bills 825 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 1: would be happy with that and a fourth round pick 826 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: and a conditional sixth round here the following year. And 827 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: here's where I gotta give. I give Jason Peters enormous 828 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: credit for working hard to transform himself into a really 829 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: great offensive tackle. And I don't know, Steve, you don't know. 830 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: You may have been there. Actually there was a hand 831 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: to be his rookie year when he the Bills had 832 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: a ota an open public practice at the inside the 833 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: stadium was a two thousand and six, I think was 834 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: his rookie year or McK nos it was two thousand 835 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 1: and four. Jason Peters undrafted rookie from Arkansas, right, and 836 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 1: they had an open practice and he was a tight 837 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: end and he went down the scene and beat everybody 838 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: and caught this incredible pass and the whole stadium, it 839 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: wasn't full, but it was open, free, open practice or 840 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: probably fifteenth I was a people stadium. Everybody was like, whoa, whoa. 841 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the kind of athlete he was. 842 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: He was a great athlete, and he worked hard. You 843 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: know when he was working, he worked very hard. I 844 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: gave him a lot of credit for that. Yeah, and 845 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: he uh yeah. When he came out, they knew, they 846 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 1: figured every everybody thought that they were gonna he was 847 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: a projected tackle and they didn't want to claim at 848 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: tight end um for whatever reasons. And nobody, nobody projected 849 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: him as a tight end. They all said he was 850 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: going to be a tackle, and the Bills moved him 851 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: in and there he is. He's now he's going to 852 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: go to the Hall of Fame. Yeah. I think he 853 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: benefited a lot from Mouse mccalley's tutoring too, a great 854 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: offensive to the Bills about who still lives in Orchard 855 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: Park not too far from us.

You still rude force from Evan, 881 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: He says, Tyrod so much unwarted hate. In my opinion, 882 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: not great by any means, but certainly a reliable starter. 883 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: And that is true. Who hates Tyrod? I just don't 884 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: think he got the love a starting quarterback should get, 885 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,320 Speaker 1: a particularly one that goes to the playoffs. And and 886 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: Tyrod was a great guy. Um. The team loved him, 887 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: they respected him, and he's always going to be the 888 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: guy that into the drought. You know, he's going to 889 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 1: be that quarterback. Um. And certainly he was frustrating at 890 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: times because he wouldn't wouldn't cut it loose. But this 891 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,919 Speaker 1: team won. I gotta say, didn't they win more games 892 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: with him than they lost? Uh? I didn't think about 893 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: that pretty close anyway, But anyway, but a great guy 894 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: and I and you know, it just didn't It wasn't 895 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: his time here in Buffalo. But maybe he's got a 896 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 1: chance in in LA this year to be the starting 897 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: quarterback for the Chargers. And he'll get a chance. They 898 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: got a good roster too, so we'll see. I will 899 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: say this, and that just shook me a little bit 900 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: to so much unwarranted hate. I don't know that there 901 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 1: is hate for Tyrode. I will say this team, I don't. 902 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: I think you'll agree. Anyone who claims to hate Tyrod 903 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: Taylor has never met Tyrod Taylor because there's nothing there 904 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: to hate. There's nothing there to hate. He's a good guy, 905 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: and I think get a good teammate. Those guys will 906 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: tell you who played with him, he's a really good teammate. 907 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: Yet they liked him and they respected him as well. 908 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, great leader.

In general, a great a 914 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: great guy that deserved that chip, chips that chip on 915 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: his shoulder.

That's one of the few times 920 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: and you think back of the all those years and 921 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: we're you know, the team was just just behind the able, 922 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 1: could not get over the hump, and one of the 923 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, you pick things that really got you going 924 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: about the team. One of the moments that really got 925 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: me going for the Buffalo Bills, you know, emotionally, was 926 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: when they traded for him, because I knew how good 927 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 1: he was. I was like, no, I couldn't believe it. 928 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: I was like they did not.

I'm wondering 978 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: if it had to do with the structure of it, 979 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,800 Speaker 1: like there was there was none guaranteed or you know, 980 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,240 Speaker 1: a little you know, not enough guaranteed money in the contract, 981 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 1: because that's a ton of cash. Well, Chris Sims went 982 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,280 Speaker 1: out to say that Prescott is seeking north of forty 983 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: five million in the final year of his new deal. Reportedly, 984 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 1: this is all just out there, just reported now, unbelievable. 985 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 1: We got a quarterback on the line maybe to talk 986 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 1: about some of this. Dan Orlovski, ESPN Football Analysts, former 987 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback for twelve years with Detroy Houston, Indian Tampa Bay. 988 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,720 Speaker 1: Dan John Murphy team Task were up here in Buffalo. 989 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on. It's good to be with 990 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:34,840 Speaker 1: you guys. I hope you guys are doing well in 991 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: your families as well. Bug everything's gone up here. Thank 992 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 1: you really good. Did you hear that Prescott news? What 993 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: do you think about that thirty five million year? It 994 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: would have averaged out to me. And I know there's 995 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 1: a lot more to a contract than that, but man, 996 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,799 Speaker 1: I don't know how you walk away from that. Dan, 997 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, yeah, I mean I would 998 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: not pay Dak Prescott thirty five million dollars a year. 999 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,880 Speaker 1: I've I've been on record about that. I believe that 1000 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: Dak has proving you a good quarterback. And you know, 1001 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 1: one of the things that I really believe in is 1002 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 1: you better not pay good players great player money. And 1003 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: when you're looking at thirty five million dollars year, that 1004 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 1: is great player money. That is, Hey, if we pay 1005 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 1: you that much money, that means we can't pay three 1006 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: or four other guys. But you know what, you're good 1007 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 1: enough for our overcome that. And Dak has proven to 1008 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: be really contrary to that. He's proven that he needs 1009 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,399 Speaker 1: a Mari or he needs Tyren Smith, or he needs 1010 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 1: Zeke d consistent success. It's I would be super hesitant, 1011 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: you know. I know there's been the conversation of the years. 1012 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 1: You know, he wants four and the Cowboys want five. 1013 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: And I've read if he's gonna sign a five year deal, 1014 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 1: but he wants forty five million to last year. If 1015 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: I'm the Cowboys. I opened the door and let him 1016 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: walk out. Then, like, if that's the case, and so 1017 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 1: this is super fascinating. I've everyone continues to tell me 1018 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,240 Speaker 1: this is no big deal. It'll get done July fifteen. Okay, 1019 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,959 Speaker 1: well we keep keeping creeping that way, and he's gonna 1020 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,839 Speaker 1: miss a lot of time at least since some communication 1021 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 1: with his football team, and so I would not pay 1022 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 1: him thirty five now. And then teams kind of get 1023 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: trapped into playing good players great player money, right, I 1024 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,839 Speaker 1: mean because of timing and the way the contracts fall 1025 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: and who's up next. Don't you think that's how that 1026 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: typically happens. Yeah, usually, or you know, you pay a 1027 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: guy and you think that the expectation is going to 1028 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 1: be x, or you think he's going to be one 1029 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 1: of those people that transcends now a couple of things, 1030 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 1: usually with the quarterback position. Everyone says, well, this is 1031 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: the next guy, so he's just going to set the market. 1032 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: And I get that, but I've been around and listen, 1033 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 1: I was never in these contract negotiations as a player, 1034 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: but I've been around guys who reset the market or 1035 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,399 Speaker 1: were the next guy. And I've literally heard these guys say, 1036 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 1: I cannot take less because of the guy coming after me, 1037 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: Like it's this brotherhood, it's this fraternity. You feel like 1038 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,479 Speaker 1: you're letting the guy after you down if you take less. Also, 1039 00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 1: the agency are a big deal as well. The Cowboys 1040 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: have mangled this situation though, Like the Cowboys could have 1041 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:08,800 Speaker 1: very easily given Dakie a very fair contract extension before 1042 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 1: last season and gotten him at like twenty eight million 1043 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 1: dollars would be my guests, but they tried to hold 1044 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 1: out and play hardball and dak I don't know how. 1045 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 1: You know, the leverage has gone back and forth, but 1046 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 1: most teams make the mistake because you know, for all 1047 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 1: those things I listened, and then a lot of times 1048 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,240 Speaker 1: coaches think that they can elevate a player beyond something 1049 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 1: he just can't get to. One of the things about 1050 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 1: that that league, we always talk about the quarterbacks. You're 1051 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: a great candidate to do that for is we've got 1052 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 1: a changed landscape in the division. The Bills are in 1053 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,800 Speaker 1: the AFC's Tom Brady is now in the NFC South. 1054 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,320 Speaker 1: So I want to ask you, can you kind of 1055 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: get a handle on where the quarterback rosters for the 1056 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 1: four teams in the East are with Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, 1057 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:05,840 Speaker 1: Brian Fitzpatrick and the Jared's Sure. Yeah, I think the 1058 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,360 Speaker 1: situation is that, you know, we talked about this on 1059 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: Get Up this week, the Bills are by far the 1060 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 1: favorite in my eyes, I know, knowing the Bills, the 1061 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 1: Bills are by far the most complete team U second 1062 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 1: best coach team, and just structural organization right now in 1063 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 1: that division talking about health with when it comes to 1064 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: general manager and head coach seeing things the same way, 1065 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: I'd think Josh Allen is the quarterback that's in the 1066 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,880 Speaker 1: position best, the best position right now. We're talking about 1067 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: a defense that right is right around the top five 1068 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. So then you're not demanding so 1069 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,759 Speaker 1: much out of your quarterback, like you don't need to 1070 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 1: score thirty every game. Obviously an addition as a you know, 1071 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: with a top ten receiver in Stefan digs a big deal. 1072 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,800 Speaker 1: I think Brian Davios did an outstanding job of getting it, 1073 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, really figuring out who and what Josh is 1074 00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:57,960 Speaker 1: as a player. And what I mean by that is, 1075 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, quarterbacks, really, I think you can boil them 1076 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 1: down to two different kinds thinkers or reactors. You could 1077 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 1: be successful both ways, you could be great both ways, 1078 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 1: but you've got to understand what you have. Maybe there's 1079 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: a mix, maybe there's one who's dominant, and Josh is 1080 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,800 Speaker 1: a dominant reactor. Does that mean Josh's don't know or 1081 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: that he can't process stuff. No, that that's his strength, 1082 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:21,279 Speaker 1: that's what he's at the best at. And I think 1083 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 1: we saw Davil do that last year, and so I 1084 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 1: think Josh is in the healthiest with a coach that 1085 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: really gets them, people around him that are a good 1086 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 1: supporting cast, and a complete football team. I've said that, 1087 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: I think the conversation in that division is who's gonna 1088 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 1: finish second? You know, I don't. I'm not sitting there 1089 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,280 Speaker 1: telling everybody that Patriots are gonna finish second in that division. 1090 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,840 Speaker 1: Very easily could be the Jets if they stay healthy, 1091 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,320 Speaker 1: finishing second in that division right along with the Dolphins. 1092 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,399 Speaker 1: If they play good football. They could did the last month. 1093 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 1: We have no idea what Jared Sidham's gonna be. So, 1094 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, long term, I've been outspoken, I like Sam 1095 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: Darnold as a player the best long term, but right now, 1096 00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,919 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's in the best situation to play. Well, Yeah, 1097 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: I know you think a great deal of Sam Darnold, 1098 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,200 Speaker 1: the Jets quarterback. Why why are you so high at him? 1099 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 1: I think, did I see that you were kind of 1100 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: proposing that he'd be better than lest year's MVP, even 1101 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 1: the Jackson Lamar Jackson. Yeah, you know, we we did. Uh. 1102 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 1: We just think a couple of weeks ago. Hey, if 1103 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: you were drafting the guys from the eighteen nineteen or 1104 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty drafts and you want you had to get 1105 00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,879 Speaker 1: a guy for the next ten plus years, who would 1106 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,680 Speaker 1: be the guy that you want or who would be 1107 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,359 Speaker 1: your top five? And I put Sam at one, I think, 1108 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 1: put up put Burrow at two, Kylo at three, two 1109 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 1: at four, in Lamar at five. I don't need to 1110 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 1: tell everybody that Lmar has been the best out of 1111 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,280 Speaker 1: those three draft classes, like we all know that that's obvious. 1112 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 1: I know that Lamar is great. I was one of 1113 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 1: those people who thought Lamar would be a really good 1114 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 1: pro and I think he's going to continue with this 1115 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,440 Speaker 1: dominance and so to speak. But I one of the 1116 00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,959 Speaker 1: things that I have learned and many people have learned 1117 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: over the last three seasons in the NFL is to 1118 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 1: hit that up, and they added up for superheroes. You know, 1119 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,839 Speaker 1: they added up for Andrew Luck who's a physical freak, 1120 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,279 Speaker 1: and they added up for Cam Newton is a physical freak. 1121 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,879 Speaker 1: And I know Lamar avoids hit better than Cam did. 1122 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 1: But he's also not two sixty and he's got over 1123 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,920 Speaker 1: three hundred carries in his first two years as a 1124 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 1: Starter's I get concerned about that, and as great of 1125 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,239 Speaker 1: a job as he does, I don't know how long 1126 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: that is sustainable. And like I said, we've seen that 1127 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: they just add up and minimize the player. And so 1128 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 1: that's why, you know, I think that Sam Darnold has 1129 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,319 Speaker 1: been putting the worst situation of those guys on that list. 1130 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 1: Obviously TWOA and Burrow have been played, but he's had 1131 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,920 Speaker 1: bottom five offensive line both in the run game and 1132 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 1: the past game both years. He probably had the worst 1133 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 1: Skilder's situation in the NFL the past two years. So 1134 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:58,400 Speaker 1: I still believe in his talents moving forward. Well, one 1135 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,319 Speaker 1: of the things about that talent, you know, Josh Allen 1136 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 1: here in Buffalo has has checked all those boxes since 1137 00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 1: before he was drafted, and he took he took a 1138 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,000 Speaker 1: nice step forward this last year, and in fact, given 1139 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,360 Speaker 1: the roster that that Brandon Being and Sean McDermot have 1140 00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: put together, and Murph and I have been talking at times, 1141 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 1: we've been trying to pump the brakes on the expectations 1142 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 1: of this team because everybody, you know, we're like the 1143 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,399 Speaker 1: Browns in the offseason last year, and you don't want 1144 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 1: your season to turn out like that. But what do 1145 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 1: you think, what do you think as some tangible expectations 1146 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 1: and maybe reasonable expectations for Josh Allen in the upcoming season. Oh, 1147 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 1: Josh have an outstanding year. Um, you know, I if 1148 00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: we're talking, you know quarterbacks sort of the best in 1149 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,839 Speaker 1: the conference right now. You're putting Patrick in Lamar up there, 1150 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 1: and then obviously Big Ben if he comes back healthy, 1151 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,839 Speaker 1: and then probably a Deshaun Watson, and I think Tan 1152 00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,440 Speaker 1: Hill has proven, you know, off of last year, and 1153 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,680 Speaker 1: then I think those are probably your top five in 1154 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 1: the conference. And then you know you're having this conversation 1155 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield. They're Josh Allen or you know what 1156 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:12,320 Speaker 1: is Philip Rivers in Indie and so the expectations should 1157 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 1: be that Josh kind of, you know, should should have 1158 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,480 Speaker 1: send himself into one of the top five or six 1159 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,279 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in that conference, you know, certainly one of the 1160 00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 1: younger ones as well. And so what you want to 1161 00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 1: see him do is know when that defense has an 1162 00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: off day. I know every team unit doesn't think they're 1163 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,600 Speaker 1: gonna win that defense has they're off two or three days, 1164 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,359 Speaker 1: that Josh is good enough to carry them. I think 1165 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,440 Speaker 1: you're starting to see that a little bit last year. 1166 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if the defense had off days, but 1167 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,160 Speaker 1: that you know, there was those glimpses that Josh was 1168 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 1: having that ability to take over. Obviously within a new 1169 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: weapon edition like I mentioned with Stefon Diggs. But what 1170 00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,440 Speaker 1: you want to do is is when defensive core vaters 1171 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 1: sit down, when they go, all right, what are we 1172 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 1: gonna do about the quarterback? Right? Like some teams have 1173 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,359 Speaker 1: are what are we gonna do about Levan Bell? All right? 1174 00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,239 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do about DeAndre Hopkins who now 1175 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 1: is obviously out of the conference. But you know what, 1176 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:20,920 Speaker 1: when he becomes a focal point of defensive coordinators weekend 1177 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 1: and week out, that's really when you see an ascension, 1178 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 1: and I think you did start to see that's the 1179 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 1: last month of the season we're live with We're talking 1180 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks with Dan Orlovski, ESPN Football analysts. Dan. Yesterday on 1181 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,920 Speaker 1: the show, we had your buddy Dominique Foxworth on and 1182 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 1: he kind of recounted your kind of spirited conversation this 1183 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 1: week about Dak Prescott. We spoke up earlier and Carson 1184 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: Wentz he changed. Did he change your mind or are 1185 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:50,040 Speaker 1: you still sticking with Wentz in your top five? Oh? No, 1186 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 1: he adn't change my mind. I think so, you know, 1187 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,840 Speaker 1: I like, here's where I am with saw that. You know, 1188 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 1: people like, oh, Carson Wentz fanboy. I've never even met 1189 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 1: the dude, met the guy. I just know there was 1190 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,360 Speaker 1: three quarterbacks last year. You know, we're in this I'm 1191 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 1: in this industry. You guys are as well. You're in 1192 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,960 Speaker 1: this world. We're like, you're not paid to be right, 1193 00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,120 Speaker 1: That's not your job. Your job is to analyze. But 1194 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 1: you put your neck out there, like you've got to 1195 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 1: say stuff. You have to be willing to say things. 1196 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 1: And going into really the draft last year and into 1197 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 1: the season, I had said the day Kyler Murray said 1198 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play football, I had sat there and said 1199 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna be the number one thick and I got 1200 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 1: laughed off the set at get up Everyone, No ways 1201 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 1: too short. So you know that when you say something 1202 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,040 Speaker 1: like that and you hit, you're proud about it. And 1203 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,320 Speaker 1: then I said, there's two quarterbacks last year that we're 1204 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:44,080 Speaker 1: gonna have really good years, Matthew Stafford and Carson Wentz. 1205 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 1: Well through eight games, Matthew was on track for forty 1206 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns in five thousand yards and so he was playing 1207 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 1: MVP list Tower from football. And Carson Wentz did stuff 1208 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 1: last year that no one's ever done. I mean, no 1209 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 1: one's ever won six games with no receiver to get 1210 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,360 Speaker 1: seventy five yards one of a film for four thousand yards. 1211 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 1: When you've never had a guy for five hundred, you 1212 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 1: never receive her five hundred. So it was the only 1213 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: quarterback in the playoffs last year without either a one 1214 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 1: thousand yard running back or a thousand yards tailback. I mean, 1215 00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,680 Speaker 1: that's that's pretty good. I mean, there was only two 1216 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,000 Speaker 1: guys in the playoffs, that's quarterbacks last year that didn't 1217 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 1: that didn't have two of the following three a thousand 1218 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,400 Speaker 1: yeard back, a thousand yard wide receiver, a top ten defense. 1219 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 1: The only two quarterbacks that did that were Patrick Mhonds 1220 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 1: and Carson went so like, it's him with him and Dak. 1221 00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 1: I don't think it's close. My eyeballs tell me it's 1222 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,960 Speaker 1: not close. What happened last year, tell me it's not close. 1223 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 1: Don is super smart and he loves We've had a 1224 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,560 Speaker 1: good argument and good fun argument. But I don't I 1225 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 1: don't really see it as a close comparison. Yeah, I 1226 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 1: was gonna ask you about another quarterback, the one that 1227 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 1: the Bills took in the fifth round this year, Jake 1228 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 1: from out of Georgia. He's got you know, if people 1229 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 1: are talking him up a little bit because of the 1230 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 1: intangible he certainly doesn't check the physical boxes that you'd 1231 00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: like a pro quarterback too, but some of the other 1232 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 1: boxes he seems to be really a high level quarterback. Yeah. 1233 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 1: I was surprised Jake fell to the fifth round. You know, 1234 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: I did two Georgia games last year, and I remember 1235 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 1: doing the Georgia South Carolina game and being up in 1236 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 1: the booth and everyone in our boots it's going, man, 1237 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 1: what's going on with from And I'm looking at him, Gus, Guys, 1238 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,760 Speaker 1: this guy's receivers aren't open. They stink like they're they're 1239 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 1: just not getting open. What do you want him to do? 1240 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 1: And so I think that that really hurts. Now. Also 1241 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 1: his combine really hurt him because the arm strength was 1242 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,400 Speaker 1: just you know, apparent that it wasn't you know, it 1243 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 1: wasn't there for a lot of the scouts and organizations. 1244 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 1: But I'm a Jake Trump fan and I believe in him. 1245 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: I think he's the best connected dot quarterback in the draft. 1246 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,920 Speaker 1: What I what I mean by that is like she's 1247 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 1: the he was the best guy on tape of like 1248 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 1: seeing something and going okay, that means this guy has 1249 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 1: to do this. This guy has to do this, and 1250 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,640 Speaker 1: the next guy has to do this. That's where the 1251 01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,440 Speaker 1: ball's got to go, and he does it really fast. 1252 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 1: Is he limited physically? Of course? Now he's a lot 1253 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: probably more like Matt Barkley obviously than Josh Allen. But 1254 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 1: I just I wouldn't be surprised if Jake Broum ends 1255 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,560 Speaker 1: up playing for ten years. Is a really high end backup, 1256 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 1: spot starter guy, super smart, He's gonna be a great teammate, 1257 01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,400 Speaker 1: can step in without a ton of physical reps and whatnot. 1258 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: So I think he's in a good place to sit 1259 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,120 Speaker 1: and just really mature and learn into the NFL world 1260 01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,360 Speaker 1: Live on the line with the ESPN S dan Or Lawski. Hey, Dan, 1261 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 1: let's continue to talk quarterbacks. If we made Baker Mayfield 1262 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, he needs to bounce back, right. Could this 1263 01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 1: be a bounce back maybe even a breakout year for 1264 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,560 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield? What do you think? Yeah? Again, I've been 1265 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,880 Speaker 1: on record. I think Baker's gonna have a monthster a year. Now. 1266 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 1: Let me propis this. I said that last year as well. 1267 01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:50,640 Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, I did not I miss undervalued 1268 01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:54,680 Speaker 1: or undervalued how poorly coached they would be and how 1269 01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 1: poorly kind of just a grass with the football team. Now, 1270 01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 1: if you look at some of the things this offseason, 1271 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 1: and you know the new head coach, Kevin Stefanski, I 1272 01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,920 Speaker 1: love the fact that he's coached tight ends, running backs, 1273 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,720 Speaker 1: and quarterbacks. You know, really a good grasp of all 1274 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 1: the positions outside of wide receiver. And that's that's really 1275 01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 1: impactful when it comes to crafting and game plan. Two, 1276 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 1: if you look at the five quarterbacks that played in 1277 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 1: that spread, you know are not spread, but you know 1278 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,680 Speaker 1: wide zone play action pass offense that Mike Shannon guarantee 1279 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:29,760 Speaker 1: back that offense is. The five that majored in it 1280 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:36,680 Speaker 1: last year are kenne Hill, Rogers, Goths, Jimmy Garoppolo, and 1281 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Those five were one hundred and thirty five 1282 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 1: and forty win loss record. They threw like one hundred 1283 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 1: and twenty eight touchdowns and forty interceptions, sixty eight percent 1284 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,440 Speaker 1: completion percentage. The scheme, the offense itself is built for 1285 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that play really well because it's such a well 1286 01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:59,680 Speaker 1: crafted one around stretched, play action zone and getting big, 1287 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 1: and so it's the perfect fit for Baker. If you 1288 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 1: look at Baker on take which is always what I 1289 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 1: go to or statistically key is an obvious play action 1290 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,480 Speaker 1: passing quarterback. Do not ask him to play drop back football, 1291 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 1: drop back football, no fake. That pocket shrinks he doesn't see. 1292 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,440 Speaker 1: Think of an accordion, guys, right, a pocket starts at 1293 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 1: about six yards wide. If you go drop back, all 1294 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 1: it does is get shrunk. Those passing lanes gets shrunk. 1295 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,640 Speaker 1: He can't see. Now, think of a play action game, 1296 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,080 Speaker 1: or you're going to stretch zone. Think of the accordion 1297 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,800 Speaker 1: stretching out. Now, that's six yard pocket really gets to nine, 1298 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,520 Speaker 1: ten eleven yard pocket. And so it's so much easier 1299 01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,280 Speaker 1: to see it again. You're forcing these defensive people to 1300 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:44,200 Speaker 1: move and creating these windows. They're obviously super talented. I 1301 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 1: think the addition of Jedrick will Is at the draft 1302 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,040 Speaker 1: and then Austin Hooper will be massive, and so I 1303 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 1: do think that Baker has a monster season in Cleveland. 1304 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 1: One of the other guys that's running a different type 1305 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 1: of offense is Cliff Kingsbury down in Arizona. You have 1306 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 1: high for Kyler Murray? What did you give us a 1307 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,800 Speaker 1: real quick synopsis here in Buffalo? We don't, you know, 1308 01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 1: it's hard to keep track of those guys out in 1309 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,320 Speaker 1: the West, particularly in the other conference. Give us a 1310 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,960 Speaker 1: quick synopsis of what we found out about Kyler Murray 1311 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: last year and what your prospects are for him this year. Yeah, 1312 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 1: Kyler was the thrower that I thought he was. You know, 1313 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:21,000 Speaker 1: I was adamant, like this dude is steadily from the pocket, 1314 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 1: no great live arm, a whippie release, outstanding. Throwing the 1315 01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,640 Speaker 1: ball downfield can kind of change all those tempo as 1316 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,360 Speaker 1: you need on a football. Take a little bit off, 1317 01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:34,000 Speaker 1: driving in the window, whatever's necessary, don't make all the throws, 1318 01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: make their wipe throws and he showed that one of 1319 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:39,840 Speaker 1: the better passers downfield and better passes out of the 1320 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,200 Speaker 1: pocket last year. So now with the addition of DeAndre 1321 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 1: who is one of the better downfield receivers and out 1322 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 1: of the pocket broken play receivers in the NFL, it's 1323 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 1: going to be a big time addition. So, you know, 1324 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 1: I think that Kyler Murray is this really talented thrower 1325 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:58,240 Speaker 1: of the football that is just electric with his feet. 1326 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,240 Speaker 1: Their pocket has to be better for him. Josh Jones, 1327 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,479 Speaker 1: they drafted in the third round as an offensive tackle 1328 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,480 Speaker 1: out of Houston, will be great. But you can you know, 1329 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's on the shortlist for Offensive Player of the 1330 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:13,440 Speaker 1: Year and it's because he can beat you three ways 1331 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:18,919 Speaker 1: his head, his arm, his speak. No shortage your quarterback questions. 1332 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 1: I have one more for you, Dan, if you will 1333 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 1: um Chicago. What are we to make of Nick Foles 1334 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,360 Speaker 1: and Mitchell Trubisky. They're talking about a open competition between 1335 01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 1: the two of them. How do you think that will 1336 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 1: work out? Yeah, you know, I'm I guess I'm kind 1337 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,800 Speaker 1: of a router for Mitchell Trubisky. You know, I'm pulling 1338 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 1: for him, and I think that everyone sometimes when we 1339 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 1: think about quarterbacks, and I've made this mistake as well. 1340 01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,960 Speaker 1: We forget the value of development. You know, if you're 1341 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 1: not the best player in the history of the game 1342 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,280 Speaker 1: at twenty one, you stink and a lot of people's 1343 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:55,200 Speaker 1: guys and we forget that these guys, it's a developmental position. 1344 01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,440 Speaker 1: And you know, if you've looked at you know, a 1345 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,479 Speaker 1: couple of things two years ago when they were twelve 1346 01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 1: and four and they go to the playoffs and moves 1347 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,680 Speaker 1: on the double going kick. He had like eighty carries 1348 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 1: that season. An average jone was six yards to carry you. 1349 01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,440 Speaker 1: And then we go to last year and he's a 1350 01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,120 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl quarterback, not great, but he was trending on 1351 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 1: being a pretty darn good player. You go to last 1352 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,680 Speaker 1: year and all last year Law said was they're running 1353 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,080 Speaker 1: the wrong offense for Mitchell Drbiski. They're running the wrong 1354 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 1: offense for Mitch Drbiski. He has like twenty eight carries 1355 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 1: and the average is like two point four yards to 1356 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,320 Speaker 1: carry you. They've got to look at their offense when 1357 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,760 Speaker 1: it comes to Mitch Dubisky, not the same way, but 1358 01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 1: through the same vantage point their prison that the Baltimore 1359 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,600 Speaker 1: Ravens do with Lamar. You know, like the Ravens were 1360 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:41,440 Speaker 1: willing to go, Okay, he's great at this, let's just 1361 01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 1: do a ton of this stuff. And he's really good 1362 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,320 Speaker 1: this other thing, throwing the football. But we're most of 1363 01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,160 Speaker 1: them a really good player, a great player at this, 1364 01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 1: let's do a ton of that. And the Bears kind 1365 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,120 Speaker 1: of shot away from that. And so I actually believe 1366 01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,320 Speaker 1: I challenge Matt Maggie that he's I think he's got 1367 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,200 Speaker 1: to get a little bit more creative with the things 1368 01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 1: that they actually asking Mitchell to do, like they did 1369 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 1: an eighteen. And then you know, the great thing with 1370 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 1: the addition of Nick Boles is due you can't have 1371 01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 1: an off day. If you're mentioned your bisky, you cannot 1372 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,760 Speaker 1: have an off day. You gotta be blinders. I'm locked in, 1373 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: And he's never had that challenge because if you have 1374 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,840 Speaker 1: an off day the Super Bowl, MVP's not Gunner right 1375 01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,680 Speaker 1: like this guy's not going Nick, the Bulls will not 1376 01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,880 Speaker 1: have off days. And so this could be the best 1377 01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,840 Speaker 1: mental challenge for your BIS kids. He's got to know, 1378 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,760 Speaker 1: I gotta get locked in and I cannot have an 1379 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 1: off day because I know my guy behind me isn't 1380 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 1: and I think that'll push him. I think he starts 1381 01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,160 Speaker 1: opening day and it's up to him to play well 1382 01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 1: to give his jobs. Dan, thanks for coming on. I 1383 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:39,840 Speaker 1: got one last question for hi. Murph and I are 1384 01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,320 Speaker 1: in a huge debate here. I'm it's a beautiful day 1385 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, and I'm gonna go out and play 1386 01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,360 Speaker 1: some golf and I have to. I'm not gonna do it, 1387 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,600 Speaker 1: but I have a kilt that I've warned to play 1388 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,440 Speaker 1: golf before, and I'm telling it it's, you know, the 1389 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,440 Speaker 1: most physically comfortable thing you can wear to golf. I 1390 01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:55,920 Speaker 1: know you're a golfer and we've enjoyed it. You know 1391 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 1: we've played together. Well, what are your thoughts on a 1392 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 1: guy wearing a kilt on the golf course? You'd walk off, right, Dan, 1393 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 1: tell them you just walk off? No, I'd walk up 1394 01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 1: to him and be like, the amount of respect I 1395 01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,800 Speaker 1: have for you I can't even put into words. I 1396 01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 1: love thank you. You might as gonna do it, and 1397 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 1: you know what, d you know what's great about it? 1398 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 1: You know, it's one of my favorite things about people 1399 01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,280 Speaker 1: not being like a jerker rude. I love people who 1400 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,439 Speaker 1: just don't care what other people think about them. And 1401 01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: that could tack to me. So, um, if you wear it. 1402 01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:25,920 Speaker 1: The only thing I would ask is if you do 1403 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,040 Speaker 1: go play and you wear it, you should take a 1404 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 1: picture and put it on social media for everyone to 1405 01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 1: enjoy it.

I think it's like four inches above the 1417 01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 1: knee would be the farthest you could go.

Do you think, custy, 1457 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,560 Speaker 1: what do you think? We had? Some others? Um? You 1458 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 1: mentioned yeah, Jason Peters. I can't think of anything I'm 1459 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:18,759 Speaker 1: having Kiko we mentioned, yep, uh, you know, Lashawan McCoy 1460 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:20,840 Speaker 1: was one of them. Yeah, so there's some guys, but 1461 01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,680 Speaker 1: it's just there's it's hard to think of guys that 1462 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:30,200 Speaker 1: are notable enough. People mentioned Frank after they gave him 1463 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,400 Speaker 1: last year. I like the fan. I'd like the fact 1464 01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:37,320 Speaker 1: that football fans are sophisticated enough to applaud former guys 1465 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,400 Speaker 1: from your team in plays somewhere else. In many cases, 1466 01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,800 Speaker 1: not everybody, nobody said, you know who, go ahead, No, 1467 01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,760 Speaker 1: go ahead. Guy just came to me. You know who 1468 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,400 Speaker 1: we thought about before the show. We hadn't heard from 1469 01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:52,720 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. Yeah, you know he Bill drafted him and 1470 01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:57,639 Speaker 1: uh yeah. The guy went on to be the guy 1471 01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,800 Speaker 1: kind of a legendary player, not maybe so much Hall 1472 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 1: of Fame production, but certainly he had some moments that 1473 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:09,120 Speaker 1: were spectacular, and he was a dominant back at his 1474 01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:12,720 Speaker 1: height and was with the Seahawks when they almost won 1475 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,880 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl that year when I can't remember with 1476 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,679 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl fifty one fifty fifty one, I believe 1477 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 1: it was. But man, oh man, Marshawn Lynch is a 1478 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:24,760 Speaker 1: guy that was a Buffalo Bill for a while and 1479 01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:28,120 Speaker 1: decided to go on. So it might be some people 1480 01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:31,000 Speaker 1: out there cheering for him. Yeah, let's get to the 1481 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,479 Speaker 1: tweet Sheep brought here by Cargan moving systems the official 1482 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,800 Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills from andrew He tweets in 1483 01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,439 Speaker 1: when we asked the question which former Bills player to 1484 01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 1: still roop from, Andrews says Robert Woods. He gave everything 1485 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:45,920 Speaker 1: he had for four years, even though he wanted to 1486 01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:49,880 Speaker 1: be home in CALLI absolutely respect him. Where Sammy messed around. Yeah, 1487 01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,600 Speaker 1: there's a good point to be made there, and I 1488 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,120 Speaker 1: think about it now in retrospect, and everybody said it 1489 01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,519 Speaker 1: when he played. When he left, they said a little 1490 01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,679 Speaker 1: bit and they went out and sort of even took 1491 01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:01,439 Speaker 1: a next step in his career. But Robert Woods was 1492 01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,240 Speaker 1: regarded as maybe the best blocking wide receiver in the 1493 01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:06,599 Speaker 1: league in his years in Buffaloes team. And I don't 1494 01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:08,760 Speaker 1: think he's tailed off in that regard either. I think 1495 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,200 Speaker 1: he's still there. No, he's still really good at and 1496 01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,719 Speaker 1: because because of the thing that made him so easy 1497 01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,600 Speaker 1: for Buffalo fans to cheer four was the fact that 1498 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,840 Speaker 1: guy worked hard. I mean he worked hard, He did 1499 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 1: the little things. You know, he's trying to help his 1500 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,439 Speaker 1: teammates win, and you could see it in the way 1501 01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,720 Speaker 1: he played. It was he's easy to cheer four and 1502 01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:28,760 Speaker 1: root for. And he made some plays. He was a 1503 01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,559 Speaker 1: good receiver as well as all the nitty gritty things 1504 01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,680 Speaker 1: that some of those guys don't take part in. It was. 1505 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:35,920 Speaker 1: He was a great He was a really nice little 1506 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:37,680 Speaker 1: player for the Bills. And I'm not saying he was 1507 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 1: a difference maker, I think, but certainly he's still putting 1508 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 1: together a really nice pro career. Has been to one 1509 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,479 Speaker 1: Super Bowl with the Rams. They didn't win it, but 1510 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,800 Speaker 1: that's a guy that's easy to cheer four and and 1511 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:54,040 Speaker 1: was here, you know, all too short a time in Buffalo. Yep, 1512 01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:56,320 Speaker 1: take a phone call out on this, Brian and Easter 1513 01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,360 Speaker 1: or hello, Brian, you haven't I'm ane for this this 1514 01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:03,040 Speaker 1: particular category, I definitely do. Murph markis Goodwin. He was 1515 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 1: just a great guy here in the community and taking 1516 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:09,519 Speaker 1: care of his sister a cereble policy and I was 1517 01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,600 Speaker 1: that one of the practices during training camp one of 1518 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:15,839 Speaker 1: the last years he was there, And there was another 1519 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,840 Speaker 1: fan from another team that also had CT and it 1520 01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,840 Speaker 1: was right before the Cleveland scrimmage that he went over 1521 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,360 Speaker 1: and took time out of his day to basically spread 1522 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:29,800 Speaker 1: some goodwill, and I thought that was very commendable. On 1523 01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:33,200 Speaker 1: his past, it's easy to cheer for guys like that. Yeah, 1524 01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:35,719 Speaker 1: he just signed out with the Eagles, so the Bills 1525 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: won't get a look at him on the regular season 1526 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:41,000 Speaker 1: this year after a couple of productive years with San Francisco. Yeah, 1527 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,080 Speaker 1: that's a really good point. Mark's goodwin. I like that. Yeah, 1528 01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,599 Speaker 1: And then we get another one from the tweet sheet 1529 01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 1: from a Nickel City sportcast. What's there not to love 1530 01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: about Fitzy? He embodies a lot of the great qualities 1531 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,800 Speaker 1: of this city. Hard working and passionate and never say 1532 01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,920 Speaker 1: die attitude. He stuck around and one starting jobs because 1533 01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 1: of these things. His teammate in the fan bases feed 1534 01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:07,360 Speaker 1: off that energy. Energy. HE'SAI forever fits magic. Hashtag fits magic. 1535 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:12,160 Speaker 1: There's something about fits that's uh, let me just put 1536 01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 1: this might be a day for another another Twitter poll, 1537 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 1: but what about his fits kind of bordering on legendary murph. 1538 01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 1: I mean, he can be a legend without being like 1539 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,680 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer and that kind of thing, but 1540 01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:29,000 Speaker 1: fits it. You know, your legendary for all the whatever 1541 01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,640 Speaker 1: reasons you would become a legend, but right, fits is 1542 01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,720 Speaker 1: kind of legendary. Yes, yeah, and let me offer a 1543 01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 1: few ideas why that may be uh well. And these 1544 01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,080 Speaker 1: are no particular order because they're hard to single out. 1545 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 1: But his beard, his beard, and if you've seen him lately, 1546 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,280 Speaker 1: he was on a podcast where Eric whod he's on 1547 01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,479 Speaker 1: one today with her buddy Armando Segaro. His beard is 1548 01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,640 Speaker 1: out of control. His hair is out of control, just 1549 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,200 Speaker 1: that facial hair. That look makes him legendary. The other 1550 01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,880 Speaker 1: thing is and it's the story quarterback with the beard 1551 01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 1: right out of Dan Founce played with one, but his 1552 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:07,680 Speaker 1: was groomed rights. The other thing that I think makes 1553 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,920 Speaker 1: him legendary. And it's a good thing. It's it's his story, 1554 01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,519 Speaker 1: how he's under You know, he's likely regarded. Signs with 1555 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,840 Speaker 1: a team, not expected to compete for a starting job. 1556 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,440 Speaker 1: Oh he'll be a good veteran backup. Yeah, right, Fitzpatrick, 1557 01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:21,840 Speaker 1: were all said as a backup quarterback and then boom, 1558 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,880 Speaker 1: within what four weeks, eight weeks whatever, he started and 1559 01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:29,240 Speaker 1: leading your team to improbable victories. That's kind of his backstory. 1560 01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 1: I think that's what makes him legendary. What do you think? Yeah? 1561 01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:36,559 Speaker 1: And plus eight teams? Yeah, and there's like there must 1562 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,720 Speaker 1: have been and I can you can count three? Right? 1563 01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:42,880 Speaker 1: I think three? Where he went and was supposed to 1564 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:47,160 Speaker 1: back up and ended it up on the field. Miami. 1565 01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 1: He was one of them where he started as one 1566 01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 1: of them, Tampa Bay one with Jamis Winston was Buffalo 1567 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:56,080 Speaker 1: one of them kind of yeah, it was ahead of 1568 01:16:56,160 --> 01:17:01,519 Speaker 1: him and Buffalo. Forget Trent Edwards. Edwards he was the um. 1569 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 1: Who else he played? He went to the Jets, Um, 1570 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:06,960 Speaker 1: well did he play for the Yeah? He was with 1571 01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:16,160 Speaker 1: Let's see he Yeah, It's just that was his story. 1572 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:20,440 Speaker 1: He would sign as a backup, an incentive laden contract 1573 01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,559 Speaker 1: and then make a ton of money when the guys 1574 01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:28,040 Speaker 1: faltered or whatever. He come in he would he would win, 1575 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,880 Speaker 1: sign a new deal, and then he would stink and 1576 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 1: they let him go. Right, that's a that's a legendary 1577 01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:42,280 Speaker 1: part of it, Right. He seduces these franchises into giving 1578 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,960 Speaker 1: him these contracts. He plays just good enough to sign 1579 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,360 Speaker 1: the deal, and it's like he can't stand it. He's 1580 01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,160 Speaker 1: just got they It's like he's he needs the next 1581 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,720 Speaker 1: step in the process, which is to get fired. So 1582 01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:56,760 Speaker 1: he gets so he gets let go just so he 1583 01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 1: can sign with another team and seduce them. That's just 1584 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:03,519 Speaker 1: that legendary. It's legendary. And another the other thing. I 1585 01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 1: think that makes the legendary. And folks who met him 1586 01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,080 Speaker 1: or lived in his neighborhood here in Hamburg when he 1587 01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,360 Speaker 1: was here, they you know, he's a great guy. He's 1588 01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:14,439 Speaker 1: a funny guy, doesn't take himself seriously.

He comes in like two thousand and eight, 1596 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,560 Speaker 1: and I'm doing a game.

And they were money. They were 1614 01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 1: right on at the bottoming point was somewhere around sixty 1615 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,680 Speaker 1: five hundred and the Dow Jones, and of course then 1616 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 1: it started back up and he and you know, he 1617 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:32,479 Speaker 1: took advantage of that. Friends, right, So he was funny 1618 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,000 Speaker 1: because all he was up there making making money in 1619 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:37,479 Speaker 1: the NFL, and all his buddies were on Wall Street 1620 01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:42,599 Speaker 1: just you know, doing the Ivy League Wall Street broker thing. Yep, 1621 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,720 Speaker 1: pretty interesting story. Yep. He's an amazing guy. Let's take 1622 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,040 Speaker 1: a call here from Noah. Noah, are you there? What's 1623 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,320 Speaker 1: on your mind? Hey, guys, he's going right doing good. 1624 01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,320 Speaker 1: I heard I heard you talking about how you didn't 1625 01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:57,639 Speaker 1: really form a relationship with Frank Gore and I worked 1626 01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 1: that game day quote team media relationship internship for the 1627 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:04,280 Speaker 1: past two seasons and about a year ago. Today, I 1628 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,240 Speaker 1: was in that bathroom ear of the media relations office 1629 01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,400 Speaker 1: and I'm washing my hands and I see this guy 1630 01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:12,639 Speaker 1: who was a lot shorter than I thought, walked next 1631 01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:15,560 Speaker 1: to me and it's Frank Gore, and I was so starstruck. 1632 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,759 Speaker 1: He really I really liked him before he came to Buffalo, 1633 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,519 Speaker 1: when he was with the forty nine ers and stuff 1634 01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 1: like that. So I look over to him and I'm like, Frank, 1635 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:25,920 Speaker 1: how's it going, man? He's like, hey, what's up. He 1636 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 1: was kind of weird. I mean, we're in the bathroom, 1637 01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,240 Speaker 1: and I just told him that I really appreciate him. 1638 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,519 Speaker 1: He was a legendary football player, and he was so nice. 1639 01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,400 Speaker 1: He's give me a fist pump when we were still 1640 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,160 Speaker 1: allowed to do that. And I just wanted to show 1641 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,080 Speaker 1: the story with you guys that he did take some 1642 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 1: kind of connect with people other than his teammates, and 1643 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:44,280 Speaker 1: I really appreciated that. Yeah, that's a great story. I 1644 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 1: regret that, at least I don't know I'm speaking for years, see, 1645 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:49,960 Speaker 1: but I regret that we didn't get a chance to 1646 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,040 Speaker 1: have a better personal relationship with him, you know what 1647 01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:53,960 Speaker 1: I mean. I know he's a good Yeah. I had 1648 01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,320 Speaker 1: a handful of conversations with him and they all lasted 1649 01:20:56,320 --> 01:21:00,200 Speaker 1: about thirty seconds. You know, they're really short, but good 1650 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,439 Speaker 1: stuff though. He was a great guy, and I think 1651 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:07,519 Speaker 1: it goes a long way when you're you and I 1652 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,320 Speaker 1: got a voice in my head, but it goes a 1653 01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:14,840 Speaker 1: long way for me. Well, your teammates love and respect you, 1654 01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:16,519 Speaker 1: and I can see that from the outside. That says 1655 01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 1: all I need to know about you to me. Absolutely 1656 01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:21,599 Speaker 1: all right.

We had a Twitter 1671 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:08,240 Speaker 1: pole that included the likes of Robert Woods, Tyrod Taylor, 1672 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,680 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatigor just talk about him.

Eighth three, five fifty and toll free 1675 01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:19,000 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty steven. 1676 01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:22,200 Speaker 1: I believe. And it was only a virtual meeting for 1677 01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,640 Speaker 1: NFL owners when they talked about the Rooney rule and 1678 01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,400 Speaker 1: expanded that the other day. But there are also some 1679 01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,519 Speaker 1: rules proposals coming out that are going to have to 1680 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:33,760 Speaker 1: be voted on at some point. I want to talk 1681 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:35,240 Speaker 1: about some of these with you, and some of them 1682 01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:37,960 Speaker 1: deal with the stuff that you're I mean, you were 1683 01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,519 Speaker 1: in on the discussion a couple of years ago to 1684 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,679 Speaker 1: change the kickoff rule. They want to do something about 1685 01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:45,680 Speaker 1: on side kicks, and there's a rule proposed by the 1686 01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,720 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles to provide an alternative to an onside kick 1687 01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:51,160 Speaker 1: that would allow a team who's training in the game, 1688 01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:55,120 Speaker 1: an opportunity to maintain possession after ball after scoring, they 1689 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 1: give it to him fourth and fifteen from their own 1690 01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:00,800 Speaker 1: twenty five. So that's been talked about it, We've talked 1691 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:01,960 Speaker 1: about it. What do you think of that rule? So 1692 01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:03,600 Speaker 1: instead of an outside kick to try to get the 1693 01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,960 Speaker 1: ball back, you can elect to say, well, we're gonna 1694 01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:08,759 Speaker 1: try this. It's fourth and fifteen. You gotta get fifteen 1695 01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:10,360 Speaker 1: or more yards to keep the ball. If you do, 1696 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,720 Speaker 1: you maintain possession and you get a chance to you know, 1697 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,960 Speaker 1: catch up maybe win the game. What do you think. 1698 01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:16,760 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with the idea. I love 1699 01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:19,360 Speaker 1: the idea. I love it. I think it's a great idea. 1700 01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:24,559 Speaker 1: It's it and for this reason, it puts the stars 1701 01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:28,160 Speaker 1: back on the field who are have momentum, you know, 1702 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:30,479 Speaker 1: because you just score, you got a little momentum, you 1703 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 1: feel good about it and say, okay, now let's keep 1704 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,639 Speaker 1: it going, let's go back and let's make another play. 1705 01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,240 Speaker 1: You just keep on rolling with that offensive vibe. You know, 1706 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:40,200 Speaker 1: you put them right back on the field after they've 1707 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,760 Speaker 1: just scored and taken the lead, and it's and you've 1708 01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,200 Speaker 1: got their defense that's down because they just gave up 1709 01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,080 Speaker 1: the score. Now they got to go out and play 1710 01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:50,880 Speaker 1: this play again, you know, And it really gives the 1711 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,800 Speaker 1: offense a chance to get back in And I'm all 1712 01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,120 Speaker 1: about letting teams get back in it when they're down. 1713 01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a great way to keep the game 1714 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:03,000 Speaker 1: interesting and by putting the best players back on them, 1715 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,080 Speaker 1: putting the best players back on the field, I think 1716 01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:07,519 Speaker 1: that's where you want to be and I think that's 1717 01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 1: why I'm a big proponent of it. They're talking about it, 1718 01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 1: and the owners will vote on it. It is recommended 1719 01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,640 Speaker 1: by the Philadelphia Eagles. It's not a Competition Committee recommendation, 1720 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:18,600 Speaker 1: which doesn't necessarily means it'll be voted down, but it 1721 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,040 Speaker 1: doesn't have the same weight as if it were proposed 1722 01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:24,040 Speaker 1: by the Competition committee. Um and one note m A 1723 01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,680 Speaker 1: team could do this under the proposal no more than 1724 01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:29,040 Speaker 1: two times a game. If you need more than two 1725 01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,559 Speaker 1: possessions to catch up, you're probably not in the business 1726 01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,400 Speaker 1: and doing that. Don't even yeah, does that mean? Yeah? 1727 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:36,000 Speaker 1: Does that mean the third time it has to be 1728 01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:38,400 Speaker 1: an onside kick? I would think so, yeah, you can 1729 01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,360 Speaker 1: if you're down three. If you're down three, you gotta 1730 01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,559 Speaker 1: think you're gonna get a turnover for one of them anyway, right, 1731 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:47,479 Speaker 1: you're not get it right? So yeah, and how many 1732 01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:50,360 Speaker 1: fourth and fifteens can you convert? You know, you converte 1733 01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 1: two in a row, then you're doing pretty good. They 1734 01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 1: get it depends though, what if you're playing the two 1735 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,400 Speaker 1: thousand and eighteen Chiefs and you got they got a 1736 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,560 Speaker 1: stink defense. They're offense is awesome that they get a 1737 01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 1: stinky defense. And here's the thing, right, here's one reason Murph, say, 1738 01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:08,400 Speaker 1: for instance, you've got his offense that's a juggernaut, and 1739 01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,000 Speaker 1: you're playing against a defense that you think you can 1740 01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:15,240 Speaker 1: score on every single possession. I mean, you really got 1741 01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 1: an advantage, right, Or during the game, their guy, one 1742 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,920 Speaker 1: of their key guys like a JJ Watt or a 1743 01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,800 Speaker 1: pass rusher or a corner somebody goes down, right, So 1744 01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:30,240 Speaker 1: now you've got them by the short hairs. You just 1745 01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:32,720 Speaker 1: keep on in early in the third quarter and say, 1746 01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:34,639 Speaker 1: you know what, guys, we're not kicking off anymore. We're 1747 01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:37,160 Speaker 1: going for it every single series. We're gonna go for 1748 01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:39,519 Speaker 1: it on fourth and fifteen, and let's see if they 1749 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,320 Speaker 1: can stop us. If we get half of them, we're 1750 01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,479 Speaker 1: gonna cut their possessions by half in and half of 1751 01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:47,120 Speaker 1: a game. You know, they're gonna not gonna have enough 1752 01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,519 Speaker 1: chiant time to come back and beat us so or 1753 01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 1: beating or to extend the lead or whatever. We got 1754 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 1: a better chance this way that keeps them from doing that, 1755 01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,680 Speaker 1: To keep them only doing it, you know, twice in 1756 01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,120 Speaker 1: a game. I wonder if you could do it like 1757 01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,840 Speaker 1: in the first half two night. Now we're talking about 1758 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,160 Speaker 1: now we're talking to analytics. Now. I don't know that 1759 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,800 Speaker 1: there's another rules proposal that's worth talking about, I think, 1760 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:10,639 Speaker 1: and again it's from a team or a couple of teams. 1761 01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: It's two different proposals. The Baltimore Ravens and the LA 1762 01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:18,200 Speaker 1: Chargers are proposing adding a booth umpire to as an 1763 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:20,519 Speaker 1: eighth game official to the officiating crew. This is the 1764 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:24,240 Speaker 1: famous sky judge plan. And the Los Angeles Chargers proposed 1765 01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,719 Speaker 1: adding what they call a senior technology official, a senior 1766 01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:31,080 Speaker 1: technology advisor rather to the referee, to assist the officiating crew. 1767 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,800 Speaker 1: We're talking about, you know, a sky judge. It's going 1768 01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 1: to be discussed the next Thursday's virtual meeting of the Owners. 1769 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,599 Speaker 1: So the fact that there's two proposals there, I would 1770 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 1: think indicates that there's some proposal, there's some support for 1771 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,320 Speaker 1: a sky judge, right, Steve, I mean a booth umpire 1772 01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:49,640 Speaker 1: a sky judge to an eighth game official. He'd be 1773 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:51,599 Speaker 1: a regular game official. He'd just be up on the booth. 1774 01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:53,320 Speaker 1: I guess I'd be all right with that. I'm not 1775 01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:55,000 Speaker 1: a big replay guys, but I guess i'd be all 1776 01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:58,280 Speaker 1: right with that. I am too. I think it's the 1777 01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:01,960 Speaker 1: least intrusive. Wouldn't have to keep going to replay all 1778 01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:06,080 Speaker 1: the time. This guy would just automatically say, hey, wait 1779 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:08,240 Speaker 1: a minute, you missed it, and he was it was incomplete, 1780 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,200 Speaker 1: his toe hit on the white line. It's now it's 1781 01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 1: now fourth, and it's now fourth and fifteen, right, they 1782 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:16,680 Speaker 1: gotta put it away. You wouldn't have to keep going 1783 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 1: stopping the game going over. You know, you'd have a 1784 01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:22,479 Speaker 1: guess that's how it would work. Uh, the guy would 1785 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,600 Speaker 1: automatically stop the game and say, wait a minute, you 1786 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:27,920 Speaker 1: can't do that. The reason that guy returned to kickoff 1787 01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:29,760 Speaker 1: for a touchdowns you had a blatant block in the 1788 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:31,880 Speaker 1: back right at it. You gotta call it that kind 1789 01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:33,479 Speaker 1: of thing. I don't know if any of that would 1790 01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:37,800 Speaker 1: be available for the review of a sky judge, but 1791 01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,840 Speaker 1: ultimately that's where it would go. He would be there 1792 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:44,479 Speaker 1: to get egregious misses on plays that made a difference 1793 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:48,160 Speaker 1: in a big play for better for worse. And that's 1794 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,479 Speaker 1: you know, that's where we're doing now for the time being. 1795 01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,280 Speaker 1: You know that the NFL will move very slowly and 1796 01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,560 Speaker 1: give this sky judge limited powers. You're not gonna be 1797 01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:00,599 Speaker 1: able to have its magic wand um it's the scope 1798 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:03,360 Speaker 1: of how much you know authority has that is the 1799 01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 1: issue here, right, you said egregious. I'd be all right 1800 01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 1: with egregious. You know, if if he sees it Nkel 1801 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:10,920 Speaker 1: Robie Coleman interfere with the guy and there's no call 1802 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,320 Speaker 1: on the field, I'm alright with changing that call. If 1803 01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:18,439 Speaker 1: it's a toe in bounds or um a um, you know, 1804 01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,840 Speaker 1: a spot of the ball, h kind of minute things. 1805 01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,920 Speaker 1: If it's a total judgment call, I don't know. I 1806 01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:27,040 Speaker 1: don't know if yeah, if I and I think the 1807 01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:29,080 Speaker 1: league will go to great pains to make sure the guy, 1808 01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if restraint is the right word. But 1809 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:33,600 Speaker 1: just understands that, Look, you're not here to officiate the 1810 01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:36,720 Speaker 1: fine points of the game. You're here to correct egregious mistakes, right, 1811 01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:38,840 Speaker 1: You got to make that clear right now. But here's 1812 01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:40,600 Speaker 1: the thing though, too. On the on the incomplete or 1813 01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:43,640 Speaker 1: in inbounds, out of bounds stuff, the replay will get it. 1814 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,639 Speaker 1: And that's for a coaches challenge, you know. The coach said, listen, 1815 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:48,719 Speaker 1: I want that looked at and the and the sky 1816 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:50,920 Speaker 1: judge will look at it. Now he the guy. And 1817 01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:52,960 Speaker 1: here's the thing. The sky judge may see a ton 1818 01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,920 Speaker 1: of stuff that's wrong that he We don't want him 1819 01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 1: stopping it for all that stuff, right, We don't want 1820 01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:03,600 Speaker 1: him stopping it for a clip, a block in the 1821 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,200 Speaker 1: back that's twenty five yards away from the play on 1822 01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 1: the other side of the field. Right, you don't want 1823 01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 1: to see that. You let them do that, you know, 1824 01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:14,559 Speaker 1: find the guy on Tuesday, don't stop the game on Sunday. 1825 01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 1: You know that kind of thing. Um, you know, So 1826 01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:22,120 Speaker 1: you really have to school these guys up and train 1827 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,800 Speaker 1: them as to what you want them to control and 1828 01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,439 Speaker 1: how you want them to affect the game, if at all, 1829 01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:31,680 Speaker 1: and how intrusive to the game it would be. And 1830 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,559 Speaker 1: I think the sky judge is the best answer yet 1831 01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:39,120 Speaker 1: to getting that to happen. You know. So those are 1832 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:41,640 Speaker 1: just two of the highlighted changes that I didn't realize this. 1833 01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:43,320 Speaker 1: But the owners are gonna meet again next week and 1834 01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:45,680 Speaker 1: they'll discuss the rule change for puzzles. They've they've got 1835 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 1: to get moved on them. They're gonna play it and 1836 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:50,800 Speaker 1: includes a sky judge and different a different overtime or 1837 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:53,760 Speaker 1: a different go ahead the owners.

It's good and the business of the NFL 1865 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,160 Speaker 1: chugs right along. I want to ask you about your 1866 01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:30,280 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Owner's meeting earlier this week and the 1867 01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:34,400 Speaker 1: focus on the Rooney rule, the minority hiring proposal that 1868 01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:36,880 Speaker 1: was tabled and what was eventually passed. What did you 1869 01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,559 Speaker 1: make all that and even the effort to beef up 1870 01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,160 Speaker 1: the Rooney ruld? What do you think of all that? Andrew, Well, 1871 01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:44,400 Speaker 1: I think we'll get to the sort of the controversial 1872 01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:46,599 Speaker 1: part of it that did not pass in a minute. 1873 01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:49,960 Speaker 1: But I think generally very impressed, and I think the 1874 01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:52,920 Speaker 1: NFL deserves kudos that they usually don't get people like 1875 01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:56,240 Speaker 1: me and we're quick to criticize a lot of things 1876 01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,879 Speaker 1: that go on, but this is something that's good and positive. 1877 01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:01,800 Speaker 1: The problem with the Roney Rule, in my estimation I 1878 01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:04,800 Speaker 1: talked to Tony Dungey about this a lot, is that 1879 01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:09,880 Speaker 1: it always focused on the top and this snapshot of 1880 01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:14,680 Speaker 1: how many minority head coaches or how many minorady gms 1881 01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:17,080 Speaker 1: was sort of going to give you a yes or no, 1882 01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:21,280 Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down. And that's way too narrow 1883 01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:25,120 Speaker 1: a look. So what's going on at the lower levels 1884 01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:29,479 Speaker 1: of coaching and management, what's going on coordinator level, position, 1885 01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:32,799 Speaker 1: coach level, quality control level. And then on the scouting side, 1886 01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:39,479 Speaker 1: Area Scout, Regional Scout, National Scout, director, Pro Personnel director, 1887 01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:44,000 Speaker 1: College personnel, all these areas need it, and what I 1888 01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:47,360 Speaker 1: mean need the diversity and inclusion more I think than 1889 01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:52,320 Speaker 1: the top levels, and this new system will help that. 1890 01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:59,479 Speaker 1: More interviews, more positions affected, including the executive position. On 1891 01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:02,719 Speaker 1: the other side, which I was kind of the front 1892 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:06,040 Speaker 1: office president vice president role as well. So it's all good. 1893 01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:09,599 Speaker 1: One of the things that I've noticed about the NFL, 1894 01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:12,960 Speaker 1: particularly on the coaching side, is that teams seem to 1895 01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:18,400 Speaker 1: be hiring certainly low level, at their lowest level quality 1896 01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:21,000 Speaker 1: control the guys who are just breaking in and also 1897 01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:24,960 Speaker 1: hiring some from lower levels of football, guys who were 1898 01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,240 Speaker 1: career coaches. Maybe they played at a small college school 1899 01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:30,439 Speaker 1: or were a college athlete in some way, shape or form. 1900 01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:34,280 Speaker 1: But these guys are professional coaches. They aren't former players. 1901 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 1: They aren't guys like Ron Rivera or a Gene Upsharre, 1902 01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:44,080 Speaker 1: guys like that, or Art Shell. These guys are guys 1903 01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:47,080 Speaker 1: who are professional coaches. Has that been a trend that 1904 01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,280 Speaker 1: has maybe set up made it harder for minorities to 1905 01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:53,280 Speaker 1: get involved, or maybe a different cultural outlook that way. 1906 01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:55,840 Speaker 1: I think it's part of it. I mean, and people 1907 01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:58,800 Speaker 1: hire who they know. And I saw it firsthand in 1908 01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:02,720 Speaker 1: ten years in the league. You know, I saw a 1909 01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:06,200 Speaker 1: bunch of guys I worked with head off to GM jobs, 1910 01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 1: John Schneider, John Dorsey, Reggie McKenzie, and I think the 1911 01:34:12,640 --> 01:34:16,680 Speaker 1: reason is they knew people at all. These organizations just 1912 01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:19,479 Speaker 1: from being around the league. So it kind of feeds itself. 1913 01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:22,400 Speaker 1: You get in, you have people you like, you have 1914 01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:25,880 Speaker 1: people to respect you, and that's how it happens. And 1915 01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:29,680 Speaker 1: so the idea of the Rouney Rule expanded to get 1916 01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:32,840 Speaker 1: more of these people in the pipeline, go to more 1917 01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,640 Speaker 1: grassroots levels, stop focusing on the top, and bring in 1918 01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:40,639 Speaker 1: everyone else. Andrew, you mentioned that you have some thoughts 1919 01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:45,080 Speaker 1: about the proposal that was tabled to incentivize hiring minority 1920 01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:48,160 Speaker 1: coaches and GMZ. What are your thoughts on that? What 1921 01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:52,800 Speaker 1: did you think, Well, yeah, well intentioned, but just execution 1922 01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,800 Speaker 1: is poor because you're really incentivizing the hiring. And for 1923 01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:59,760 Speaker 1: those who don't know, this is talking about going up 1924 01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:01,519 Speaker 1: in a third round of the fourth round, of the 1925 01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:04,640 Speaker 1: fifth round based on hiring minority head coach or coordinator 1926 01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:09,719 Speaker 1: or gm And you've heard now from people like Lewis Riddick, 1927 01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:14,519 Speaker 1: people like Marvin Lewis saying it's kind of insulting because 1928 01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 1: you're always going to be wondering did I get hired 1929 01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,519 Speaker 1: for this my own abilities or because I got them 1930 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:22,840 Speaker 1: an extra pick or a higher pick, And you know 1931 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:24,840 Speaker 1: I had to I had a totally different thought when 1932 01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:26,760 Speaker 1: I first heard it, I'm like, you know, what's going 1933 01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:29,280 Speaker 1: to happen now is all these gems are going to 1934 01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:34,800 Speaker 1: call these statisticians and Harvard educated PhDs that are sitting 1935 01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:37,360 Speaker 1: in their back of their offices that never have any 1936 01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:41,960 Speaker 1: work this time of year and get them working on it, Like, Okay, 1937 01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:44,080 Speaker 1: what's the value of that? What's the value of that? 1938 01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:46,280 Speaker 1: Should we be hiring him an already coach next year 1939 01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:50,200 Speaker 1: because it gives us great value compared to a nominati coach. 1940 01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:53,000 Speaker 1: But of course it didn't. You know, it was tabled, 1941 01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:55,120 Speaker 1: and I know from being in these meetings ten years 1942 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:58,240 Speaker 1: were tabled means they don't have enough votes to pass. 1943 01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:03,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, I just think it got too much blowback 1944 01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:07,400 Speaker 1: from minority coaches. One of the guys we had on yesterday, 1945 01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:10,600 Speaker 1: Dominique Foxworth, thought the exact same way you did, and 1946 01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:12,880 Speaker 1: then he said he changed his mind because his thought 1947 01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,160 Speaker 1: was that if indeed a guy, even if the guy 1948 01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 1: was blatantly hired because they upgraded their third round draft pick, 1949 01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:24,240 Speaker 1: if he could do the job, he would quickly make 1950 01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:28,360 Speaker 1: them forget about it, and getting the opportunity by hook 1951 01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:35,559 Speaker 1: or crook was was worth the risk of being maybe 1952 01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:38,960 Speaker 1: somebody under their breath thinking or saying that they only 1953 01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:41,760 Speaker 1: hired him for the draft pick or whatever, but the opportunity, 1954 01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:43,760 Speaker 1: and if the guy could make good on the opportunity, 1955 01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:50,080 Speaker 1: it would enhance the rules worth to other teams. Yeah, 1956 01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:52,720 Speaker 1: I get that, you know, it's all. It's also like 1957 01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:58,439 Speaker 1: the what we've called the sham interviews where you have 1958 01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,000 Speaker 1: to hire a minority, but then once in a while 1959 01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:04,040 Speaker 1: our interview minority. Once in a while you get the 1960 01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:08,120 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's story where he blows their socks off. The 1961 01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:11,040 Speaker 1: problem Steve's talked to. You know, I remember talking to 1962 01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:15,240 Speaker 1: Bill Polian and Bill said, you know, I was in 1963 01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:22,439 Speaker 1: Indianapolis when the Tampa Bay Bucks fired Tony Dungee, and 1964 01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:27,000 Speaker 1: I knew right then and there there was no search. 1965 01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:31,439 Speaker 1: You know, he was going to be our head coach. Period. Now, 1966 01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:35,920 Speaker 1: Tony Dungee's black, But if Tony Dundee was white, then 1967 01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,800 Speaker 1: everything else would have been a sham interview. The same 1968 01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:44,840 Speaker 1: way when Mark Davis hears that John Gruden is interested, 1969 01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, when John Gruden's interested in the Raiders, there 1970 01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:52,240 Speaker 1: is no more search. It was over. So any other 1971 01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:55,920 Speaker 1: interview was going to be sort of a fake I 1972 01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,720 Speaker 1: don't know how to prevent that. I don't know how 1973 01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:01,479 Speaker 1: you stop that where you of an owner that is 1974 01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:04,439 Speaker 1: dialed in one hundred percent on a candidate white or black, 1975 01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:10,320 Speaker 1: and everything else is just window dressing. Interesting and your 1976 01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:12,639 Speaker 1: brain our guests. He covers the business of the NFL 1977 01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 1: for and then QB Andrew. It's all speculative and the 1978 01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:19,479 Speaker 1: NFL is chugging ahead as if they're going to play 1979 01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:22,240 Speaker 1: a sixteen game schedule. But it's worth thinking about, isn't it. 1980 01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:25,679 Speaker 1: What the you know, the CBA and the standard player contract. 1981 01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,120 Speaker 1: What would happen to that if games are canceled, if 1982 01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:31,519 Speaker 1: there are a fewer than sixteen games, or if they're 1983 01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,599 Speaker 1: moved somehow, what would it mean to the salary cap? 1984 01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:36,280 Speaker 1: And how ready is the NFL to address that with 1985 01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:38,880 Speaker 1: its players? Do you think? Yeah? I mean, I think 1986 01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:41,840 Speaker 1: this is all waiting and seeing what happens with the 1987 01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 1: other leagues and how it goes. But I think there 1988 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:47,280 Speaker 1: may be a reckoning point for the NFL to figure 1989 01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,880 Speaker 1: out how we're going to take our pain and have 1990 01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:55,080 Speaker 1: the players share it. And by pain, I'm suggesting we 1991 01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:58,400 Speaker 1: have a season but no fans or minimum smattering of 1992 01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:02,120 Speaker 1: fans so then you ask, well, what does that due 1993 01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:05,400 Speaker 1: to revenues. You know, back in the day, ticket sales 1994 01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:11,240 Speaker 1: gate receipts were probably thirty forty fifty percent of total revenues, 1995 01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:15,880 Speaker 1: but that's changed because now media revenues dwarf everything. So 1996 01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,559 Speaker 1: you take a typical franchise, probably sixty percent of total 1997 01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:25,160 Speaker 1: revenues from media and maybe fifteen to twenty percent. My 1998 01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 1: best guests are from ticket sales, so that would mean 1999 01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:34,680 Speaker 1: of fifteen to twenty percent loss or revenues. So if 2000 01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:37,040 Speaker 1: it's fifteen billion a year for the NFL, maybe it 2001 01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:42,720 Speaker 1: goes down to twelve billion a year. And you know, 2002 01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:46,160 Speaker 1: again the twenty twenty cap is set with the players, 2003 01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:51,200 Speaker 1: but if they're looking at this diminution of revenues going forward, 2004 01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:57,040 Speaker 1: maybe this causes another negotiation to get ahead of a 2005 01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:03,000 Speaker 1: decrease in twenty twenty one based on the lower revenues 2006 01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:06,280 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. So all this is up for grabs, 2007 01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:09,800 Speaker 1: you know. But the NFL, as I keep saying, it's 2008 01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:12,519 Speaker 1: so lucky compared every other league because they can watch 2009 01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,680 Speaker 1: and wade see what happens. Baseball is going through this 2010 01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:19,679 Speaker 1: right now. Exactly what we're talking about, how to incorporate 2011 01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:22,880 Speaker 1: the players and the owners' losses, and this will be 2012 01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:26,479 Speaker 1: a model and we'll see what happens with them. Well, 2013 01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:28,560 Speaker 1: when you talk about the the CBA and the and 2014 01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:31,280 Speaker 1: the owners and the fact that they just passed this 2015 01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:34,080 Speaker 1: last CBA just you know, a couple of months ago, 2016 01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:37,800 Speaker 1: before this actually or just as it was happening, is 2017 01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:40,679 Speaker 1: there a better way? Has there been suggested a different 2018 01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,600 Speaker 1: way to split up the money or to h to 2019 01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:46,479 Speaker 1: make the league more nimble when something like this? Obviously 2020 01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:49,080 Speaker 1: nobody saw this coming, But is there a way that 2021 01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:52,360 Speaker 1: the league could be more nimble? In it's in how 2022 01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:56,280 Speaker 1: it how the salary cap has affected how the the 2023 01:40:57,280 --> 01:41:01,280 Speaker 1: wages are distributed, how they're even doled out at certain times. 2024 01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:06,760 Speaker 1: Is there has there ever been an alternative plan or 2025 01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:12,280 Speaker 1: proposal put to the league? Not that I know of. 2026 01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:15,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I've been critical of the CBA both past 2027 01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:20,320 Speaker 1: and present about the accountability of teams to spend on players. 2028 01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:24,439 Speaker 1: There are minimum spending thresholds. I've said that they're deficient 2029 01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:27,360 Speaker 1: because they take too long. You only a judge over 2030 01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:31,439 Speaker 1: four years on an eighty nine percent of cap spending. 2031 01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:37,400 Speaker 1: Teams could theoretically quote unquote coast this year, get back 2032 01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:40,160 Speaker 1: to more spending next year, especially if it's a lowered cap, 2033 01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:44,000 Speaker 1: So I don't you know, accountability has to be written in. 2034 01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:47,080 Speaker 1: You know, owners, they're not going to spend unless they 2035 01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:50,360 Speaker 1: actually have to, at least a lot of them, especially 2036 01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:52,439 Speaker 1: when they're looking at the lost profits. And it's not 2037 01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:56,599 Speaker 1: just ticket sales this year. Game day involves all these 2038 01:41:56,640 --> 01:41:59,600 Speaker 1: sponsor and tailgate and all those things, and merchandise and 2039 01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:05,160 Speaker 1: working in concessions, all of that. So they're going to 2040 01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:10,160 Speaker 1: take some pain assuming that. But you know, again, we 2041 01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:13,519 Speaker 1: don't know Miami's come up with a plan. Maybe they 2042 01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:16,680 Speaker 1: could get fifteen thousand fans in there. We're going to 2043 01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:21,880 Speaker 1: see different plans come out from these team executives. So 2044 01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:25,560 Speaker 1: maybe we have somewhere between no fans and full stadiums. 2045 01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:29,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it goes to half. Who knows. Andrey mentioned I'm 2046 01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:31,639 Speaker 1: major League Baseball is kind of going through this now. 2047 01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:33,920 Speaker 1: The difference, of course, they don't they do not have 2048 01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:37,240 Speaker 1: a salary cap. Under the cap, do we expect that 2049 01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,320 Speaker 1: football players are prepared to share in losses as well 2050 01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:45,360 Speaker 1: as revenue games? I mean that's kind of the central question, right, Yeah, Well, 2051 01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:48,120 Speaker 1: if there are losses, the cap goes down, so they 2052 01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:51,120 Speaker 1: are by necessity they will share in it. Now, Baseball, 2053 01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:53,840 Speaker 1: you brought up an interesting topic because what I've said 2054 01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,479 Speaker 1: about what's going on in baseball right now is the 2055 01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:59,640 Speaker 1: only league that doesn't have a cap is and I 2056 01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:04,040 Speaker 1: don't say this derogatorily, but they're using the pandemic to 2057 01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:08,000 Speaker 1: create a cap because you know, for people who don't know, 2058 01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:11,800 Speaker 1: if you're a major League baseball player, you say, you 2059 01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:13,760 Speaker 1: hear from the league, Okay, we're going to do eighty 2060 01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:17,320 Speaker 1: two games instead one hundred and sixty two. And you think, okay, 2061 01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:21,519 Speaker 1: I was supposed to make six million, I'll make three million, right, 2062 01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:26,719 Speaker 1: And the answer is wrong. We're not just pro rating 2063 01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:30,960 Speaker 1: baseball saying we are giving you a rev share of 2064 01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:34,200 Speaker 1: whatever we make with these lowered revenues, and then we'll 2065 01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:36,320 Speaker 1: figure out what you make, but it's not going to 2066 01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:39,600 Speaker 1: be half your salary. And so now they're balking and 2067 01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:44,080 Speaker 1: we're in this. What people can't get their head around 2068 01:43:44,240 --> 01:43:47,800 Speaker 1: is this, we may not have baseball this year. And 2069 01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:52,320 Speaker 1: it won't I repeat, it won't be because of health 2070 01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:56,800 Speaker 1: and safety. It will be because of money. And I 2071 01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:01,560 Speaker 1: think it's a real possibility because baseball players are saying no, 2072 01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:06,120 Speaker 1: we're not going to do that, So stay tuned. Yeah, 2073 01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:09,120 Speaker 1: the league is. The NFL has been very fortunate with 2074 01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:12,439 Speaker 1: the timing of this because it happened in in concert 2075 01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:14,280 Speaker 1: with their offseason. They don't have to make any of 2076 01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:16,960 Speaker 1: these major decisions. They could hold their draft remotely, they 2077 01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:21,520 Speaker 1: could do free agency, they can even do virtual offseason 2078 01:44:22,479 --> 01:44:26,439 Speaker 1: zoom meetings. But sooner or later, and even in this 2079 01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:29,880 Speaker 1: week and coming up now, we're having getting on the 2080 01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:35,120 Speaker 1: horizon some facilities are opening up. How much pushback will 2081 01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:40,840 Speaker 1: the league get If some facilities in some states are 2082 01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:43,320 Speaker 1: totally open and ready to go they can bring their 2083 01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:46,040 Speaker 1: players in and practice, and other teams are still closed 2084 01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:49,280 Speaker 1: down completely, what kind of competitive balance? What kind of 2085 01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:52,280 Speaker 1: pushback will the league get or give to teams one 2086 01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:55,080 Speaker 1: way or the other. Yeah, this you brought up the 2087 01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:58,160 Speaker 1: two words, and I'm running about that for Sports Illustrated. 2088 01:44:58,200 --> 01:45:02,200 Speaker 1: That that's the mantra of the NFL. You know, everything 2089 01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:07,320 Speaker 1: I write and talk about salary, caps, draft, free agency, 2090 01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:11,320 Speaker 1: the mantras competitive balance. Get these teams on a level 2091 01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:15,639 Speaker 1: playing field, that's exactly what they need. That's the mantra 2092 01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:20,400 Speaker 1: of the NFL. It's being tested because certain jurisdictions are 2093 01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:24,479 Speaker 1: more relaxed than others, and like you said, they have 2094 01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:26,960 Speaker 1: the advantage of time, they can open up facilities and 2095 01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:29,720 Speaker 1: some but not others. But no coaches are going in 2096 01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:33,280 Speaker 1: and no players are going in. The rubber is going 2097 01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:37,439 Speaker 1: to meet the road if we get into coaches and 2098 01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:41,320 Speaker 1: players being allowed in and there's some jurisdictions they can't, 2099 01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:45,519 Speaker 1: and then it's like, wait a minute, you know, not 2100 01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:47,640 Speaker 1: that a couple of meetings a week are going to 2101 01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:51,280 Speaker 1: make this creative competitive advantage. But that's not the NFL. 2102 01:45:52,280 --> 01:45:56,040 Speaker 1: The NFL is Hey, we're all the same, so every 2103 01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:59,160 Speaker 1: thirty two is treated the same. That's going to be 2104 01:45:59,240 --> 01:46:01,880 Speaker 1: a challenge. You know. If we have these jurisdictions that 2105 01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:08,040 Speaker 1: are different, we may see training camps moved, We may 2106 01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:13,160 Speaker 1: see preseason games moved, and god forbid, we may see 2107 01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:17,280 Speaker 1: regular season games moved, just depending on how this virus 2108 01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:21,040 Speaker 1: acts and or what sort of damage would be done 2109 01:46:21,080 --> 01:46:24,599 Speaker 1: to the league by having no fans or a limited 2110 01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:27,880 Speaker 1: amount of fans in terms of perception. Obviously they'll be 2111 01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:30,479 Speaker 1: revenue damage, but what sort of what sort of look 2112 01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:32,040 Speaker 1: will that be and what sort of damage could be 2113 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:36,000 Speaker 1: done to the NFL. That's what we're looking at. Well, 2114 01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:41,240 Speaker 1: I think they're really smart people in media and in 2115 01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:48,439 Speaker 1: NFL media that can figure out a visual experience that 2116 01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:52,960 Speaker 1: is satisfying. I trust people with that, you know, I 2117 01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:56,280 Speaker 1: trust that you're not going to turn on and it's 2118 01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:59,280 Speaker 1: just going to be this dead product with no one 2119 01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:02,920 Speaker 1: in the stands, you know, the way they frame the camera, 2120 01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:07,040 Speaker 1: the way who knows about crowd noise. I just think 2121 01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:09,559 Speaker 1: there's some innovative people out there that know a lot 2122 01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:13,120 Speaker 1: more than we do about how to stage these and 2123 01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:16,040 Speaker 1: I think this is what the players argument is going 2124 01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:20,559 Speaker 1: to be. The diminution of revenues from seats is going 2125 01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:27,280 Speaker 1: to be made up, maybe almost completely by the staggering 2126 01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:31,559 Speaker 1: TV ratings that are going to lead to much bigger 2127 01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:36,200 Speaker 1: TV contracts. And there's no way to know that until 2128 01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:39,680 Speaker 1: you actually play the games, but we've seen with the 2129 01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:42,400 Speaker 1: Last Dance and everything else, ratings are going to be 2130 01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:46,080 Speaker 1: staggering for all sports coming up. There's no question fans 2131 01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:50,960 Speaker 1: or no fans. So we'll see what they do. Yeah. Yeah, 2132 01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:54,360 Speaker 1: And this offseason that's coincided with this pandemic, the NFL 2133 01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:58,400 Speaker 1: has ground along and there's we've had no shortage of 2134 01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:00,800 Speaker 1: things to talk about, but a lot of them haven't 2135 01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,240 Speaker 1: been to do with what goes on on the field, 2136 01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:05,600 Speaker 1: and like like we've just been talking about how the 2137 01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:07,720 Speaker 1: league is going to manage the revenues, where they go, 2138 01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:11,120 Speaker 1: the television ratings, no fans, fans. One story I want 2139 01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:13,280 Speaker 1: to ask you about between the lines. You were in 2140 01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:16,920 Speaker 1: Green Bay when Brett Favar was the quarterback and they 2141 01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:22,160 Speaker 1: drafted Aaron Rodgers, and now it's deja vu all over again. 2142 01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:26,519 Speaker 1: What give us your basic thoughts about how this is 2143 01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:28,439 Speaker 1: going to play out, how it should have played out 2144 01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:31,160 Speaker 1: back then, and maybe how that will affect this one. 2145 01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:35,360 Speaker 1: You guys, I've been doing this for three weeks. Here 2146 01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:40,640 Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, I'm not saying that anything against it. 2147 01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm happy to talk about it because it was deja vu. 2148 01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:45,920 Speaker 1: It was eerie. I was in the room and big 2149 01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,400 Speaker 1: part of it. Fifteen years ago to the day to 2150 01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,519 Speaker 1: the day that we picked Aaron, when we had a 2151 01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:55,599 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback at age thirty five on our roster, 2152 01:48:55,880 --> 01:49:00,519 Speaker 1: and in that case, that quarterback never ever ever missed 2153 01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:04,400 Speaker 1: the snap. So now they do it again and a 2154 01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:07,040 Speaker 1: little bit different because Aaron kind of fell in our 2155 01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:11,040 Speaker 1: lap and they trade it up for Jordan Love. But 2156 01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,559 Speaker 1: it's the same theory that the Packers having a lot 2157 01:49:13,640 --> 01:49:17,600 Speaker 1: of teams like trust the board, best player available regardless 2158 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:22,960 Speaker 1: of position. But it sets up exactly what I went through, 2159 01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:25,880 Speaker 1: which is now you have a Hall of Famer in 2160 01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:30,920 Speaker 1: waiting who is not going to finish his career on 2161 01:49:31,080 --> 01:49:35,800 Speaker 1: that team. And there's no way around it to me 2162 01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:39,479 Speaker 1: because as a first round quarterback, especially when they trade 2163 01:49:39,600 --> 01:49:44,200 Speaker 1: up for he's going to play. He's going to play. 2164 01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:48,880 Speaker 1: And unless Aaron Rodgers think about retirement in two three years, 2165 01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:54,439 Speaker 1: that's a problem. He won't be there. And I know, 2166 01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, people say, well, maybe Rogers get hurt. They 2167 01:49:57,479 --> 01:49:59,519 Speaker 1: look at Love, he's not that good. They won't hold 2168 01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:03,240 Speaker 1: on the Rodgers. I'm like, no, there's no way, no, 2169 01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:07,200 Speaker 1: They're not going to test drive Jordan Love during like 2170 01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:10,200 Speaker 1: an injury to Aaron Rodgers. They're gonna give the keys 2171 01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:13,519 Speaker 1: to the team to Jordan Love at some point, just 2172 01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:17,360 Speaker 1: like we did with Aaron. And that means Aaron goes elsewhere. 2173 01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:20,640 Speaker 1: So the whole thing to me is comes down to 2174 01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:22,920 Speaker 1: something I never thought i'd say a month ago, which 2175 01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:28,160 Speaker 1: is there is now an expiration date on Aaron Rodgers 2176 01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:31,479 Speaker 1: with the Packers, and maybe it's two years, maybe it's 2177 01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:37,920 Speaker 1: three years, probably too, I think. So that's that's shocking. Hey, Andrew, 2178 01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:39,760 Speaker 1: thanks for us continues to stay healthy. You have a 2179 01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:42,720 Speaker 1: great holiday weekend. Thanks for being with us today. All 2180 01:50:42,760 --> 01:50:45,880 Speaker 1: the best guys, take care of Thank you. Thanks. Andrew 2181 01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:49,280 Speaker 1: Brant covers NFL business for MMQB weekly account onists for them, 2182 01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:52,360 Speaker 1: host of the Business of Sports podcast, director of the 2183 01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:56,920 Speaker 1: more Ad Center for Sports Law at Llanova University. Sounds 2184 01:50:56,960 --> 01:51:00,960 Speaker 1: like he's answered that Aaron Rodgers question since the draft, 2185 01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:06,080 Speaker 1: it is it is weird that the Packers did it again. 2186 01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:10,040 Speaker 1: Um now, and let's face it, they hit gold the 2187 01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:16,040 Speaker 1: first time they did it with Aaron Rodgers replacing Brett Farve. 2188 01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:20,599 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't see that very often. Three times, Well, 2189 01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:23,559 Speaker 1: I say very often. We've seen it three times. Joe Montana. 2190 01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:26,040 Speaker 1: Steve Young took over for Joe Montana. Both of them 2191 01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:29,040 Speaker 1: are in the Hall of Fame. Peyton Manning goes and 2192 01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:32,559 Speaker 1: and then was replaced by Andrew Luck. Although Andrew Luck 2193 01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:36,040 Speaker 1: retired early because of injuries, he still was a stellar 2194 01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:40,080 Speaker 1: quarterback and an elite guy in the league at a 2195 01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:43,599 Speaker 1: young age. And now we see it again in Brett Farr, 2196 01:51:44,240 --> 01:51:47,559 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and now with Aaron Rodgers and now Jordan Love. 2197 01:51:48,320 --> 01:51:49,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if Jordan Love is going to be 2198 01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:52,120 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quality quarterback. But those three other 2199 01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:54,840 Speaker 1: instances that I just mentioned went pretty well for the 2200 01:51:54,920 --> 01:52:00,439 Speaker 1: team that did it, you know, so I'm interested to 2201 01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:03,400 Speaker 1: see and I'm I'm racking my brain to see other 2202 01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:05,360 Speaker 1: because when it didn't work out, we kind of forget 2203 01:52:05,360 --> 01:52:07,760 Speaker 1: about the guy they drafted, Right, he's not that good, Right, 2204 01:52:08,280 --> 01:52:09,840 Speaker 1: he turns out to be a bust. Or the other 2205 01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:13,600 Speaker 1: guy's so old that the other guy, you know, the 2206 01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:16,519 Speaker 1: other guy's done anyway, So they start from scratch anyway. 2207 01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:19,280 Speaker 1: And you know so I kind of tend to forget 2208 01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:21,600 Speaker 1: about those situations, but the ones where they pass it 2209 01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:25,040 Speaker 1: from Hall of Famer to Hall of Famer, I can 2210 01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:27,800 Speaker 1: only think of three of them. Yeah, those three. Yep. 2211 01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:30,600 Speaker 1: We thank Andrew Bran for joining us.

I sound was presented with a 2274 01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:49,920 Speaker 1: with a great opportunity to say it played for another 2275 01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:53,080 Speaker 1: great organization, great team. And uh, I just felt like 2276 01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:57,120 Speaker 1: it was a great fit for me, my family, majority 2277 01:55:57,160 --> 01:55:58,640 Speaker 1: of my family back East Coast, so I get to 2278 01:55:58,680 --> 01:56:01,120 Speaker 1: see them, they get to watch me play. And uh, 2279 01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:02,800 Speaker 1: like I said after that, I fit their scheme and 2280 01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:05,200 Speaker 1: what they want their players to do perfectly, and it 2281 01:56:05,280 --> 01:56:07,560 Speaker 1: fit what I wanted to do. So I mean it 2282 01:56:07,680 --> 01:56:10,480 Speaker 1: was just a great fit both sides. I know it's 2283 01:56:10,640 --> 01:56:13,360 Speaker 1: very early. You guys have just done for virtual stuff, 2284 01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:15,120 Speaker 1: but how has that gone for you? How has the 2285 01:56:15,240 --> 01:56:19,160 Speaker 1: vibe been and how do you think the team's handling it? Um, 2286 01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:22,480 Speaker 1: I think the team's handling top nots. You know. Um, 2287 01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:25,440 Speaker 1: just everything, the meetings and everything are real structured. Uh. 2288 01:56:25,880 --> 01:56:28,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's a difficult times but we 2289 01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:30,120 Speaker 1: have to we have to adjust, and I think the 2290 01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:32,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo is doing a great job of doing that. Um. 2291 01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:33,920 Speaker 1: You know, I would love to meet the guys in 2292 01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:36,440 Speaker 1: person get around them, but uh, I mean he said, 2293 01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:37,880 Speaker 1: this will do. You know, you still get to see 2294 01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:40,720 Speaker 1: how guys all these are and uh you see a 2295 01:56:40,880 --> 01:56:44,240 Speaker 1: bunch of young are hungry and just know a lot 2296 01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:45,960 Speaker 1: about football. You know, I've been around a lot of 2297 01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:47,920 Speaker 1: guys and like I said, this was definitely one of 2298 01:56:47,920 --> 01:56:50,520 Speaker 1: the most knowledgeable group of guys just all around, just 2299 01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:53,840 Speaker 1: scrasping the defense and what everybody's supposed to do. So, uh, 2300 01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:57,920 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool Live with Quick. Jefferson, one of the 2301 01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:00,240 Speaker 1: new Buffalo Bills signed to a free agent contract, could 2302 01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:02,440 Speaker 1: come to a new team, but there are familiar faces 2303 01:57:02,480 --> 01:57:05,040 Speaker 1: for you, Quentin, including the Bills Director of player Personnel 2304 01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:07,760 Speaker 1: Dan Morgan, who played a little bit in Seattle and 2305 01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:09,360 Speaker 1: spent a little bit of time out there in the 2306 01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:11,440 Speaker 1: front office. What do you know about Dan and what 2307 01:57:11,520 --> 01:57:15,440 Speaker 1: did he tell you about the Buffalo Bills. Um, it's 2308 01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:17,480 Speaker 1: a great guy. I knew him, said for my time, 2309 01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:21,640 Speaker 1: and actually my d line coaching him where roommates. And 2310 01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:24,320 Speaker 1: like I said, it's just so I knew him pretty well. 2311 01:57:24,400 --> 01:57:27,240 Speaker 1: And I say, he said nothing but great things about Buffalo. 2312 01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:30,919 Speaker 1: You know, it's a great otation with great coaching staff, culture, 2313 01:57:31,640 --> 01:57:35,400 Speaker 1: great facilities. I said, say again, close to my family. 2314 01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:37,840 Speaker 1: And uh, like I said, they let me. They said 2315 01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:40,000 Speaker 1: their defense allows me to really I feel like, reach 2316 01:57:40,080 --> 01:57:43,080 Speaker 1: my full potential, whether whether I just said just pinning 2317 01:57:43,120 --> 01:57:46,000 Speaker 1: my ears back, you know, coming off the ball, being disruptive, 2318 01:57:47,120 --> 01:57:49,400 Speaker 1: being in the situation, said to rush the passer and 2319 01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:51,560 Speaker 1: really good after and I said, I feel like it 2320 01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:54,640 Speaker 1: was a great, great fit both sides. One of the 2321 01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:57,480 Speaker 1: things we've noticed about the Buffalo defensive line is that 2322 01:57:57,560 --> 01:57:59,760 Speaker 1: they rotate guys through a lot, and they've got a 2323 01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:02,240 Speaker 1: lot of guys that can play different spots. Has that 2324 01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:06,080 Speaker 1: been a part of their communication to you. They're going 2325 01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:07,880 Speaker 1: to ask you to do some different things and use 2326 01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:10,720 Speaker 1: your athletic ability maybe to a more higher a higher 2327 01:58:10,800 --> 01:58:14,560 Speaker 1: degree than than you've been asked to do before. Um, 2328 01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:17,160 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, definitely. I said, if you watched my 2329 01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:20,200 Speaker 1: sap from Seattle, they have everywhere and uh, I said, 2330 01:58:20,240 --> 01:58:22,040 Speaker 1: I was like one of the things that they liked 2331 01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:24,320 Speaker 1: about me, And I think I'll continue to do that 2332 01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:27,720 Speaker 1: where if I'm needed, I'll be keep playing, you know. 2333 01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:29,480 Speaker 1: And uh, like I said, I love the fact that 2334 01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:32,480 Speaker 1: they have a good rotation. Let's say that does nothing 2335 01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:35,040 Speaker 1: but keep guys fresh. And uh, you said, when you're fresh, 2336 01:58:35,120 --> 01:58:37,320 Speaker 1: you just keep rolling and getting after their team's out. 2337 01:58:37,440 --> 01:58:41,680 Speaker 1: So so I'm excited. And I guess, Quentin, it's to 2338 01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:44,400 Speaker 1: say you can play inside or outside, right, you have 2339 01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:46,880 Speaker 1: that flexibility to be an end or a tackle, right, 2340 01:58:46,960 --> 01:58:49,120 Speaker 1: that's important as far as how you're used and how 2341 01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:52,600 Speaker 1: much play times you can get. Uh yeah, no doubt. 2342 01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:54,680 Speaker 1: Like I said, it helps me. Like it's like I said, 2343 01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:57,000 Speaker 1: I learned that on as a as a young guy. 2344 01:58:57,520 --> 01:58:59,720 Speaker 1: Any if you can play anything, that just gives you 2345 01:58:59,800 --> 01:59:02,120 Speaker 1: more value. And I take Proude on just trying to 2346 01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:04,720 Speaker 1: learn a defense, to learn all the positions along the 2347 01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:06,720 Speaker 1: D line, because I just want to be able to play. 2348 01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:09,520 Speaker 1: So if a guy's tired, need to blow shoes, I there, 2349 01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:13,640 Speaker 1: play wherever. They said, I just try to make myself 2350 01:59:13,720 --> 01:59:17,040 Speaker 1: more and they said, really try to not just play 2351 01:59:17,120 --> 01:59:19,400 Speaker 1: the positions, but actually play them and be good at them. 2352 01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:21,960 Speaker 1: You know, Like I said, I see myself the lineman 2353 01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:25,000 Speaker 1: and pretty much every position everything's kind of the same. 2354 01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:27,800 Speaker 1: So come up the ball being final, with your hands, 2355 01:59:27,840 --> 01:59:30,520 Speaker 1: getting guys off you. You're gonna be good, whether it's 2356 01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:35,520 Speaker 1: a one technique or five. We're talking with Quentin Jefferson, 2357 01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:38,640 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, a former Seattle Seahawk now a Buffalo Bill 2358 01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:41,560 Speaker 1: is on the on the Buffalo Bills.

Eight years I've done this. It's been a 2500 02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:07,240 Speaker 1: great eight years. But for a lot of reasons, it's 2501 02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:09,560 Speaker 1: probably a good time to make the move and for 2502 02:07:09,680 --> 02:07:11,120 Speaker 1: you guys to carry on and take the show in 2503 02:07:11,160 --> 02:07:13,600 Speaker 1: a different direction.

And as you guys know, and Jay 2506 02:07:17,920 --> 02:07:20,080 Speaker 1: maybe more than Steve that our producer. This can be 2507 02:07:20,120 --> 02:07:22,560 Speaker 1: a grind a little bit, right, especially now, right this 2508 02:07:22,680 --> 02:07:24,720 Speaker 1: time of year. The show is a grind this time 2509 02:07:24,760 --> 02:07:27,919 Speaker 1: of year. This year is especially a grind because nobody's 2510 02:07:27,960 --> 02:07:30,960 Speaker 1: around where it's a difficult show to do. We're not 2511 02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:34,800 Speaker 1: splitting Adams, but it can be difficult. I don't come 2512 02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:36,120 Speaker 1: close to you, Steve, but I do have a new 2513 02:07:36,200 --> 02:07:38,720 Speaker 1: grandson and I'm looking forward to spending time with him, 2514 02:07:38,760 --> 02:07:41,120 Speaker 1: and that appeals to me. And I have to say, 2515 02:07:41,160 --> 02:07:42,680 Speaker 1: you know, the events of the last couple of months 2516 02:07:42,720 --> 02:07:45,240 Speaker 1: I think enforced everybody, you guys included, to kind of 2517 02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:48,360 Speaker 1: take stock of what's important, put things in perspective. And 2518 02:07:49,160 --> 02:07:51,680 Speaker 1: the opportunity to still do games while giving up this 2519 02:07:51,800 --> 02:07:55,280 Speaker 1: show is what I'm looking at here.

I'm trying to limit it as to how 2564 02:09:45,800 --> 02:09:48,240 Speaker 1: much time you'll have to say anything, but you'll get 2565 02:09:48,360 --> 02:09:49,960 Speaker 1: I do want to say that the listeners and the 2566 02:09:50,080 --> 02:09:52,200 Speaker 1: people who have listened to the show, I will miss 2567 02:09:52,320 --> 02:09:54,120 Speaker 1: that too.

Um, Steve and Jay going to keep 2570 02:09:59,200 --> 02:10:01,600 Speaker 1: this show going, and the show will probably be a 2571 02:10:01,640 --> 02:10:03,760 Speaker 1: little bit different, probably a little better. Maybe I've been 2572 02:10:03,840 --> 02:10:05,480 Speaker 1: dragging them down. They've been telling me that for a 2573 02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:08,200 Speaker 1: couple of years. I've been dragging them down. But it's 2574 02:10:08,240 --> 02:10:11,120 Speaker 1: gonna be great. And the one thing about our listeners 2575 02:10:11,160 --> 02:10:12,760 Speaker 1: and our fan Steve and I've noticed that you probably 2576 02:10:12,800 --> 02:10:14,600 Speaker 1: have to have. You've been around Buffalo. People are so 2577 02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:17,800 Speaker 1: forgiving and they have so much patience, and I say 2578 02:10:17,840 --> 02:10:20,160 Speaker 1: stupid things and people kind of let it slide sometimes, 2579 02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:23,400 Speaker 1: and I've always appreciated that about listeners here in Buffalo. 2580 02:10:23,560 --> 02:10:25,680 Speaker 1: So that's pretty much all I have to say. I 2581 02:10:25,720 --> 02:10:27,440 Speaker 1: will miss working with you guys. You have about one 2582 02:10:27,480 --> 02:10:29,720 Speaker 1: minute to finish, which is exactly why I wanted to 2583 02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:31,600 Speaker 1: give you. Steve, Jay, you want to go first? Do 2584 02:10:31,640 --> 02:10:34,640 Speaker 1: you want to say something? Jay? I was hoping he 2585 02:10:34,760 --> 02:10:36,720 Speaker 1: would fill until he had to get off the year, 2586 02:10:36,840 --> 02:10:40,160 Speaker 1: so I wasn't really prepared for this. But I don't 2587 02:10:40,200 --> 02:10:43,280 Speaker 1: make your's muted, Steve, go ahead, James, I really don't. 2588 02:10:43,320 --> 02:10:44,880 Speaker 1: And by the way, that was a draw. It was 2589 02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:47,320 Speaker 1: a tie between mutes on the Mic, so you guys 2590 02:10:47,400 --> 02:10:49,360 Speaker 1: can split it and by each other a beer something. 2591 02:10:49,360 --> 02:10:51,680 Speaker 1: The last time he tied it up right at the end. Yeah, 2592 02:10:51,880 --> 02:10:53,680 Speaker 1: I really don't have anything to say other than I 2593 02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:56,920 Speaker 1: just enjoyed putting this together.
