28
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,680

30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:58,920

84
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 3: didn't check it right at the end of the day.

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: You got there twenty nine. We'll give it to twenty

86
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 3: nine thousand, two hundred. I took a screenshot when I

87
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: got to twenty eight thousand, I was like, that's a

88
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: person gotta be a personal record, and I'm I'm feeling it.

89
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: Like two days later, I'm like, I was thinking too. Now, Listen,

90
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: when we're young, particularly you know, when you're young college

91
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: can do anything right. You go out and like, I'll

92
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: go out and punish yourself. Back when I was playing

93
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: an our offseason, I was the same thing as Josh.

94
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: I'd go out and I'd play, you know, seventy five

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: holes of golf or ninety holes of golf over a weekend. Man,

96
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 3: just go thirty six a day, but you're always in carts.

97
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 3: I was thinking, I don't think I've ever walked thirty six.

98
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: I have now I did over Saturday, and I remembered quickly,

99
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: and I'm sixty two, not twenty two. I was absolutely gassed, bro,

100
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: I was. I was out on my feet.

101
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: I was, so, did you have a giant meal at

102
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: the end of that, since you probably yes, Yeah, I

103
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: knew I could count.

104
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: On yes that and yes and a couple of pops too.

105
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: It was Oh, that was That was maybe the longest

106
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: day I've had in maybe a decade and a half.

107
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 2: You're gonna have a long day. That's a good long

108
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: day to have.

109
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't, but yeah, it was. It was a

110
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: lot of fun, a lot of fun. But I was, yeah, paying,

111
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 3: I'm paying the physical price for it. Now.

112
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if I don't think you, based on

113
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: where you were, had an opportunity for this. But because

114
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: of the solar flare, Steve there was. Yes, I heard

115
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: the night sky similar to what the Aurora borealis does

116
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: to the atmosphere way up north uh here locally, and

117
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: it was clear enough early in the weekend, not so

118
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: much yesterday. I guess they'll there could be another opportunity

119
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: tonight to see some of this. But our graphics guru,

120
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: Tom Hollander took some photos, yeah, because he got some

121
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: good views of this right here at the stadium an

122
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: Orchard Park, I believe. I want to say, this was

123
00:06:52,360 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: Saturday night and man, just some unbelievable color in the sky.

124
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: Friday night, unbelievable colors in the sky was clear, which

125
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: is kind of what you need to get a good

126
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: look at this stuff. And that was not the case

127
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: Saturday night or Sunday night here really there was too

128
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: much cloud cover. But they said you could still maybe

129
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: get a chance to see it tonight. It's like a

130
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: geomagnetic event because of the solar flair.

131
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: What time tonight are we talking about?

132
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: Because we last night they said to look around nine thirty.

133
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: I would imagine it's got to be a similar time.

134
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: I'm no meteorologist, but so I've been I've been outdoors

135
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: all my life. I've been I spent a ton of

136
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: time in Alaska.

137
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: Oh you've never seen the Northern never seen either of

138
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: I never seen them.

139
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: And I'm out of town the weekend here in Buffalo

140
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: where it happens.

141
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: I'm I think there might be a chance. Tonight they

142
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: were saying it wasn't as.

143
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: I heard about it. I was reading, I was scrolling

144
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: through social and people were talking about it. Was it cool?

145
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: I mean I didn't is everybody going crazy over it?

146
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: Or I might not be following the right people to

147
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: know the answer. So I would imagine it got some

148
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: chatter going. I mean, it's pretty cool, pretty rare.

149
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: So I don't know, it seems cool that they take

150
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: take pictures of it and looks.

151
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: I mean that violet color, I mean, that's unbelievable. It's

152
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: just naturally occurring in the atmosphere. Pretty wild. So we'll see, man,

153
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I believe there's a chance.

154
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: To watch it. Yeah, get out of bed at.

155
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: Nine o cur because you're hitting the early.

156
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wake set an alarm and go outside and

157
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: if I see it, I'm that'll be fine.

158
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: But pretty neat stuff though, Yeah, very cool Bill's news. Obviously,

159
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: they had Rookie Mini Caamp over the weekend, three days

160
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: of practicing on the field basically helmets and shorts, nothing

161
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: too drastic, but a steep learning curve for the rookies.

162
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 2: But as we know, rookie Mini camp the opportunity for

163
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 2: those guys to get a little bit more one on

164
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: one attention because it's just them and a select group

165
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: of first year players and some tryout play. And one

166
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: of those tryout players signed a contract over the weekend,

167
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: and it was UB linebacker Joe Andresen previously if Brian

168
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: College transferred to Ubs for his fifth year and play

169
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: their last season, and he is a native of Depew

170
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: went to Lancaster High School. So local kid is going

171
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: to presumably be a training camp provided he gets through

172
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: OTAs and everything in the June mini camp. So Bill's

173
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: fans may see a local at training camp to join,

174
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 2: you know, Cam Lewis among others. It's you be products

175
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: I'm talking about.

176
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, I can only imagine that what

177
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: Joe and Dreesen is is thinking about growing up and

178
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 3: seeing it now getting a chance to really seriously step

179
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: on the field. I mean, this isn't a guy who

180
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 3: signed a commemorative contract be bill for a day when

181
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: he earned a spot on a ninety man roster to

182
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 3: go to training camp with the club. That's to be

183
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: really really cool for him. And you can bet too,

184
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: He's got all his high school buddies here in Lancaster,

185
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: all his family, all his Everybody's like, our boy made it.

186
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: That What a moment. It's very cool, very cool. And

187
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: I know this too. Some people, you know, they'll kind

188
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: of roll their eyes and get be all cynical and like, wow,

189
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 3: they just did that, because these I don't think they

190
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: play that game here. No, I really don't. They don't.

191
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: They don't. They don't just give those roster spots out right.

192
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: Uh so, so good for him. Good for Joe getting

193
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: in on and being part of the team. And he'll

194
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 3: always have it. There's been some other guys over the

195
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: year decades who have done it. The Quardo brothers have

196
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 3: done it. So there's been some others.

197
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: J who Colkrik was here for a little while.

198
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: Right down and Climber, and then there's been other guys

199
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: from Roosevelt. And then there's yes naming Roosevelt was one

200
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: of them. So there's been guys over the years, and

201
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: plus some guys who obviously played from other teams Jim

202
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: Burt back in the day, Ron Wolf, the Wolfly brothers,

203
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: Uh from Orchard Park. So there's been some Shane contwell,

204
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: he's from Frewsburg, New York. Yeah, it's Western New York

205
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: for sure, So it does happen once in a while.

206
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: And sure enough Joe Andreesen, good for him. Who's that

207
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: muse Johnston?

208
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right Lewiston.

209
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: Not always, not all from not all played for the Bills, right,

210
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: There's been a ton of guys that played around the

211
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: National Football League.

212
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so pretty cool. We'll see how he does through

213
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: the spring and the summer. Steve and I fully aware

214
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: of the NFL schedule release coming up on Wednesday. Wednesday night,

215
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: I should say, at eight pm, we kind of looked

216
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: over the opponents for the Bills here in twenty twenty

217
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: four and we thought we would kind of just in

218
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: concert with our topic of the day, which we'll get

219
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: to shortly thereafter. We thought, you know what, let's pick

220
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: games that we think could be pretty prominent placed on

221
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 2: Buffalo's twenty twenty four schedule.

222
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 3: Well, we didn't go full mock schedule.

223
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: No, No, we just took a handful.

224
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 3: See is how we just left mock draft time rising behind.

225
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: I didn't want to jump back into it.

226
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: So we just took a handful. And it's in line

227
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: with our topic of the day today, which is which

228
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: Bills matchups this season do you want to see in

229
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: prime time? There are some juicy ones on the Bill

230
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 2: schedule this year, some of which are at home. I

231
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: think more often than not, it feels like the Bill's

232
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: primetime games have been on the road more than at home.

233
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: That's not always the case, but if I had to guess,

234
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: I would say it's like sixty forty sixty five thirty

235
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: five away primetime games as opposed to home, primarily because

236
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 2: they've been playing the Chiefs on the road in the

237
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: regular season forever seemingly finally they're here in the regular season. Yeah,

238
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: and a bunch of other factors. But you know, even

239
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: in the season kickoff game a couple of years ago

240
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: at LA. You know, those kinds of things.

241
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: So it just feels like that in New York last year,

242
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 3: in New.

243
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: York last year. Yeah, there's another one. So I think

244
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: there's a fair majority of those that have been on

245
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: the road. I think there's a good chance that the

246
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: majority of Buffalo's prime time games could very well be

247
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: at home. But we are asking you at eight oh

248
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: three oh five point fifty one eight eight five fifty

249
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: two five fifty which Bills matchups this season? Do you

250
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: want to see in prime time? Open lines for you

251
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: there in the meantime, I want to kind of compare

252
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: and contrast my five picks with Steve's five picks. So

253
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 2: if you are ready, Steve, why don't you take us

254
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: through your your premiere well games f stals.

255
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: I onlyly picked four games that I thought would be

256
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 3: prime time worthy, and mostly because I just thought, you know,

257
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: this is what's gonna happen. Week one. I think the

258
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 3: Bills get the Jets at home. I think that I

259
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: think the Jets come over here open.

260
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: Is that a regular game?

261
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: A one o'clock game. There's a couple of those. Two

262
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: of them are really reached. But I think the Bills

263
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: will play in I think if they play in Miami

264
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 3: at I think they'll play night, a night game in

265
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: Miami because I don't think there's enough content. Yea Sunday night,

266
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: Monday night, Thursday night. It's gonna be in Miami early

267
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 3: in the season because they won't make the Bills play

268
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: in the heat of the afternoon, you know what I mean.

269
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: It'll wait till later in the day. Then late season

270
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: the Bills hosting the Chiefs. That's gonna be a CBS

271
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: prime time for twenty five game. There's just no way

272
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: around it. That game has been too fantastic not to

273
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: get the four to twenty five game, and CBS doesn't

274
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: have a primetime slot. So it's gonna have to be

275
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: a four to twenty five game late and they'll be

276
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: late in the season two when they've established that they're

277
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: both good teams again. Mid season San Francisco is going

278
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: to be a Thursday night, Monday night, Sunday night game.

279
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: The San Francisco's in Buffalo. San Francisco forty nine ers

280
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: in Buffalo to play the Bills. That's gonna be a

281
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: primetime game Thursday night, a Sunday night, or a Monday night.

282
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: One of those three games is gonna be one of

283
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 3: those three options. Is going to be one of the weekends.

284
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: Too good a game, and I think this is one too.

285
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: I kind of READI, you know what, the Bill's going

286
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 3: to get a holiday game, and you've got a better

287
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: holiday game than me. I'll admit, uh, But I think

288
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions and the Bills on Thanksgiving, that's a

289
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: fantastic game last time. Both these teams are still relevant

290
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: and it you know, so I think they'll probably say, Okay,

291
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: let's give that a shot. Although I haven't really looked

292
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: at Detroit's schedule, so there might be a more enticing

293
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: matchup for them, like a division game or something, or.

294
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: If they play the forty nine ers.

295
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: I don't know what they do right, so that may

296
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 3: take president. But the week one's it's not a primetime game,

297
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: but I think they're going to host the Jets. I

298
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: think that the league likes to do the division games

299
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: early and late, and I think that makes sense to

300
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: give him to give Aaron, Rodgers and Josh a chance

301
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: to play against each other for a full game. After

302
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: Aaron snapping his Achilles last year four plays in and

303
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: then the last one I put on there this Thanksgiving

304
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: game against Detroit. Eh, maybe you.

305
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: Don't feel strongly about that one.

306
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: I said it, and I didn't feel strong about it.

307
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: Then then when you told me yours, I was like, oh, yeah,

308
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: he's right, so I ya, Well, all right, Well let's

309
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: run your pick through this.

310
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: I purposely stayed away from the San Francisco game, which

311
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: I do think will be a primetime game, But I

312
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: figured you'd be picking that one because it's a pretty

313
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: it's a pretty big one, especially for a cross conference matchup.

314
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: But I led off with the season opener Sunday Night Football.

315
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: I could see the networks wanting to jump all over

316
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: this playing the digs angle Bill's at Houston season opener

317
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football, and then I picked up Bills Jets

318
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: matchup for prime time. Also, I'm thinking like somewhere around

319
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: week five, Monday Night Football, and I think they want

320
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: to go early in the season because Rogers coming off,

321
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: you know, Achilles surgery through the whole year, he's gonna

322
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: be forty one, I think for the.

323
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 3: Seasons over, so you got to get him while you

324
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: can get.

325
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: So get him early and try to pull ratings down there.

326
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: And then much like you, I had a November game

327
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: Week eleven home against the Chiefs. That's a CBS that's

328
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 2: got CBS protected game written all over it, So that'll

329
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: be a four to twenty five Jim November sweeps on

330
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 2: top of that, so it's kind of a no brainer.

331
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: And then I went with Baltimore for a Monday night

332
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 2: game on the road Week fifteen, that's like December second.

333
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: And then the last time they played the Ravens when

334
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: they had them on a Cross uh Division finish game

335
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: was here and it was also in December. Ravens won

336
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: that game twenty four to seventeen. I think that might

337
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: have been Josh's rookie year, or it might have.

338
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: Been twenty nineteen nineteen, because his rookie year they played

339
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: Week two. That was Josh's Oh that's right, man, that's right.

340
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: And then I went with Christmas Day for twenty five games.

341
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: This is the one. I feel.

342
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: You're hosting Dolphins the whole White Christmas Angle.

343
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 3: They'll be shooting four here, they will be doing dances

344
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 3: in the executive boardroom trying to conjure up a snowstorm

345
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: for that game the network, So.

346
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: Those are my predictions.

347
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: They would love to have Miami come up here and

348
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: try and play in the snow against a Buffalo team

349
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: on Christmas Day in the wintertime. That's the one I

350
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: like better than my Detroit Thanksgiving game with Buffalo.

351
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: You are right, though, the last time those two teams

352
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: played on Thanksgiving that was a barn burner of a game.

353
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: I mean, Josh, fresh off the elbow injury, throws that

354
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: thirty five yard rope to Digs. What was that fourth down?

355
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: I think yes, for the second fourth, and I think

356
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: it was fourth and thirteen, and they got like twenty

357
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: or something just ripped it and Digs picked it off

358
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 3: the top of a guy's helmet or something went up.

359
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: It's like it was unbelievable. You just stabbed it right,

360
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: and then they went down and got the field goal.

361
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: But I could totally see the network's going gaga over

362
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: Digs and the Texans hosting the Bills on Sunday Night football.

363
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 3: That may be bigger to Bills fans than it is

364
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: to the country at large.

365
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: Though perhaps perhaps I wouldn't mind getting it out of

366
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: the way early. No, I wouldn't either, But there's a

367
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: Stroud tie in there too. Don't forget that. I mean

368
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 2: what the crowd is getting. The Texans are getting about

369
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 2: four or five primetime games this year just because of STRM.

370
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 2: Forget about Digs.

371
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: They might all about Stroud, they might, they might.

372
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: So that's to me that enhances the likelihood of something

373
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: like that.

374
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 3: We'll say this too much, but nobody, no, outside of

375
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes and Josh and Lamar most of the time,

376
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: even CJ. Stroud, there isn't another quarterback in the league

377
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 3: that you got to go watch play, even Joe Burrow

378
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: when he's playing his best. Yeah he's good, but he

379
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: stands back there and makes throws and stuff.

380
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 2: He's not He's efficient. Yeah, he's not spectacling.

381
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 3: He's not making you stand up off your couch. You know.

382
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 2: Stroud does some pretty special things.

383
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: Right, and you know what, I'm still waiting for Anthony

384
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: Richardson to show up again. He was pretty fun to watch,

385
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 3: except he's a little too reckless. He's what you were

386
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: afraid Josh would have been. You know, he's exactly the

387
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 3: kind of quarterback that we thought, oh man, Josh, he's

388
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: gonna get busted up and stuff. It's never happened with

389
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: Josh knock on Wood. But Anthony Richmond, that's exactly what

390
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 3: you're afraid of. Now. I've had this conversation all the time,

391
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: even over this last weekend when I was down there

392
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 3: with a bunch of football guys playing golf. When you

393
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 3: start talking to him about guys who are running around

394
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: Lamar Patrick and Josh, you never see you never see

395
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: him get hurt when they're running around like that. When

396
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 3: they get hurt is when they're standing in the pocket

397
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: trying to make a throw. The rolled up Yeah, they

398
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 3: get rolled into or they get there like Josh's elbow

399
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: battown a huston guy right right in the right in

400
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: the pocket. So you know, I'm I'm a big fan

401
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: of an athletic quarterback because you know, even back in

402
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 3: the days when Randall Cunningham was doing all that stuff,

403
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 3: he always said, I'm safer outside the pocket running around

404
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: than I am standing back there you're sitting duck. Yeah,

405
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: and I think the injury history for quarterbacks says that.

406
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's some young quarterbacks that are really fun

407
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 3: to watch. Anthony Richardson is one is kind of a

408
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 3: big question mark. But still you want to say, hey,

409
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: you know, it's kind of fun. Look at C. J. Stroud,

410
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 3: no question, Josh Patrick Lamar. I hate to say it,

411
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: but justin Herbert's kind of almost pushed back to the

412
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: back burner, you know, he's kind of I also ran and.

413
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 2: His five yard seasons are probably gone. With Jim Harbaugh

414
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: as his head coach, they're gonna run the ball.

415
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: They may win more games though.

416
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: That is right. I don't dismiss that at all. They

417
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: might win more games, but Herbert throwing for five thousand

418
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 2: a season, that's done.

419
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: I'll say this, back in the day, Miami could have

420
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 3: won more football games if Dan wasn't having Dan Marino

421
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: wasn't having five thousand yard seasons. You know what I mean.

422
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: You just got to share the ball, and you've got

423
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 3: to give somebody else a chance to make some plays

424
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: as a quarterback. And it goes back to quarterbacks like that,

425
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 3: like Dan Marino, Dan Fouts a little bit like that,

426
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: and there have been others. But you got to share it.

427
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: You got to share it. Some of these young quarterbacks

428
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: though they're they're getting there, and I think with a

429
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 3: guy like Harbaugh in LA, you know, you got to

430
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 3: push these guys you know you Herbert's gonna be asked

431
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 3: to run a different kind of offense. Oh yeah, you know. CJ.

432
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 3: Strouds giving them a chance to do some things differently.

433
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna have to evolve. Some guys can

434
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: some guys can't. But man, oh man, I yeah, I

435
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 3: think this is a really intriguing season coming up because

436
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 3: of the Once again, the quarterbacks in the AFC are

437
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: going to be stellar. Yeah. I don't know if anybody

438
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 3: out shines Josh and Pat.

439
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: Well, no, but there are entertaining guys that I think

440
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: are going to be worthy of prime.

441
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: I think they're intriguing and they seem like they might be.

442
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if they've proven. Listen, we knew you

443
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: and I knew Josh Allen was going to be the

444
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: dude when he when he lost to the Miami Dolphins

445
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: on the last game of the series. The Charles Clay

446
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: drop that game. You go back and look at that game.

447
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: That is an absolute paradigm shift.

448
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: He did everything.

449
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: It's a paradigm shift. I was surprised you didn't kicked

450
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 3: extra points. The guy was unbelievable. You want to talk

451
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: about a quarterback elevating a team. That's you and I

452
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 3: both said that they got their back. That's the guy.

453
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 2: Let's uh, let's go to the phones though, as we

454
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,760

00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 4: Sunday night, okay. I would also like to see the

464
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Day okay.

465
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 4: Also the other game, I'd like to see Miami in

466
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 4: Buffalo in primetime. We haven't really seen that in a while,

467
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 4: other than last last month last year because it was

468
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 4: because it was pushed to p time. Uh. But and

469
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 4: and and uh the uh Baltimore the Ravens as well.

470
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 4: That would be a good like a Monday night game.

471
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 5: Uh and uh.

472
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: Trying to think we played the West right, so I'm

473
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 4: also thinking in the South. I'm thinking that we should

474
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 4: also maybe I like Tennessee as a primetime guy game

475
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 4: as well. We always seem to have uh pretty good

476
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 4: uh play against or against Tennessee, and they always play

477
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: good against us in prime time. Whether we are a

478
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 4: good team or a bad team doesn't matter.

479
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 6: It's the same with them, Tennis.

480
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 4: That's what I'd like to see.

481
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you this, Tennessee is Tennessee is a

482
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 3: little bit of a question. Very good. Mike Vrabel is

483
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 3: not there anymore. Tennessee always played tough because Rabel was

484
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: their head coach, and Tennessee just at absolutely they absolutely

485
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: turned around and went the other direction when they when

486
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 3: they fired him. I don't know what they were thinking.

487
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: Don't forget that Derreck Henry is in Baltimore now too.

488
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: Will Levis is their quarterback. Now. He's got receivers, He's

489
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: got Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins.

490
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: They've got some guys, no question, and Will Levis is

491
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 3: an intriguing prospect and he's got some he's got some

492
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: tools and he's got some weapons. So i'm uh, I'm

493
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 3: I think it's I don't think Tennessee sees the light

494
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: of day as far as primetime is concerned maybe their

495
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 3: Thursday night maybe a Thursday night game, you know, but

496
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 3: they're they're not going to get a Monday night, Sunday

497
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 3: night game, no way.

498
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 2: I will say. You know, you mentioned you weren't sure

499
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: about Bill's Dolphins at home in prime time. That actually

500
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: happened in the twenty twenty two season. It was a

501
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 2: Sunday night game. Bass hit the game winning field goal

502
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: as time expired. Bills were down eleven with like four

503
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 2: minutes left, and that's when Josh jumped over the pile,

504
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: stuck his hand over the goal line for a touchdown,

505
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: and I think they got a two point conversion and

506
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 2: then that put him in place to kick the game

507
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: winning field goal on the next possession. That was a

508
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 2: Sunday night game. It was snowing at the end of

509
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: the game. Yeah, quarter it was a December game here.

510
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: That was twenty twenty two season, if I remember it right. So, yeah,

511
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: they have played recently in primetime together. I think it's

512
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: almost sure to happen again.

513
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: Here we go.

514
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the game, twenty twenty two season. I'm pretty

515
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 2: confident in that December Bill's had to come back and

516
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: win that game because they were down by more than

517
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: a score late. So yeah, Josh put the capon in

518
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 2: that game, no question about it. As you know, the

519
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: Who's Your Daddy game series continues because when he does.

520
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 2: Guy threw two picks in week eighteen against them in

521
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: Miami and still won the game. I mean, Deontay Hardy helped.

522
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 2: Let's not kid ourselves about that, but they still won.

523
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: Defense stood tall in that game, only giving up fourteen

524
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: points uh to that Dolphins team to nip him at

525
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: the wire and win their fourth straight division title. Pretty cool.

526
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and we go to

527
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 2: Dennis in North Carolina. What's up Dennis?

528
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 7: Hey, h First of all, I'll listen to you every day.

529
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 8: Uh.

530
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 7: Anyways, I locked to say Buffalo and Arizona the first

531
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 7: prime prime game. Tell me why block why one of

532
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 7: the receivers they draft to, uh Marvin Harris receivers? Then

533
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 7: it's a revased game. We lost to him out out

534
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 7: in Arizona.

535
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: He's still talking. You're still talk about Hail Murray.

536
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, right, Ring, bring it back to the ball flow.

537
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 7: Let's uh win.

538
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: All right, that's okay, that's fair. I mean, you know,

539
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray is an entertaining quarterback. I mean, I could,

540
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: I can see the networks being okay with it. I

541
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: don't know if it's the sexiest one in the lineup.

542
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 3: But cross interconference and you know Marvin Harrison Junior. Yeah,

543
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 3: outside your division not they're not traditional rivals. Certainly, that does.

544
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: You're right, there are some people who think about that game.

545
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 3: There's a lot of water under the bridge since then,

546
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: the right, Oh yeah, I don't know, Yeah, I get it.

547
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: Revenge four years later, four years later, did you just

548
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: see the SpongeBob screen.

549
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: Anthony Anthony Hopkins isn't there anymore? You know, Micah High,

550
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: Jordan Anthony Hopkins.

551
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: If Anthony Hopkins was in a helmet serving any role

552
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: on the Arizona Cardinals, I would be very impressed.

553
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I'm such a I'm such a loser. DeAndre

554
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: Hopkins isn't there. Poyer and Hyde won't be there. You know,

555
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: Tredavius is gone.

556
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: One of the three guys around Hopkins.

557
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: On and you know, pick three other guys you would

558
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 3: there's no three other guys you would have wanted a

559
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: round the guy now, Bless has already made the catch.

560
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: He did break time for us here, But we do

561
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: want to know which Bill's matchups this season do you

Speaker 2: want to see in prime time? Ato three oh five

563
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: point fifty one, eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty.

564
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: Then I'm gonna get on board. Got open lines for you.

565
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: We'll lead off with Mike in Mississippi when we return

Speaker 2: here on One Bill's Live. Stay with us all right

567

00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: Brown Steve to ask you with you talking about the

569
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: upcoming twenty twenty four NFL schedule, and we're asking you

570
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 2: which prime which matchups on Buffalo's twenty twenty four schedule

571
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: do you want to see in prime time? Ato three

572
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: oh five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two,

573
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: five fifty. Then I'm gonna get on board. We lead

574
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: off this segment with Mike down in Mississippi.

575
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 9: What's up, Mike, Well, I'd like to say that I'd

576
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 9: like to see the Bills in the forty nine ers

577
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 9: in prime time. If you look at the record of

578
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 9: the AFC over the NFC the last couple of years,

579
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 9: the AFC dominates, and I'd like to see the country

580
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 9: cs make a statement and put an exclamation point on

581
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 9: the AFC being superior to the NFC, and I think

582
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 9: taking San Francisco out would be a good way of

583
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 9: doing that.

584
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: All right, Well, I'll say this is one of the

585
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: more impressive wins the Bills have had in the Seawn

586
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: McDermott era when they went out to when Robert Sala

587
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: was a defensive coordinator in San Francisco and.

588
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: Played in Arizona during the COVID year.

589
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: Oh is that right? Yeah, I forgot about that. So

590
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: they're in Arizona against San Francisco and that's a game

591
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 3: kind of a coming out party nationally for Josh. He

592
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 3: made a couple of throws in that game that were

593
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: spectator accurately accurate and spectacularly just on the money, great velocity.

594
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: Right, And so well, that's where Salah is checking for

595
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: Rain on the sidelines. He's watching him throw an he's.

596
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: Over there in a mask on the thing. There's a

597
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: couple of times where Sala has done that where he

598
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 3: was looking over there and he looked like like that

599
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 3: old thing I've said a couple of times on the show.

600
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 3: He looked like a gunfighter was out of bullets. And

601
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: same thing with Vic Fangio when he's head coach at Denver.

602
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: He's sitting there like sitting there to looking with his

603
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: arms down. He's got his place. She drooped aside of it,

604
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: and he's like, what I supposed to do it? You know,

605
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 3: I'll say it. Josh is one of the guys who

606
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: consistently takes the perfect defensive call and turns it into

607
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: a touchdown for him, and the defensive cornerate has gotta

608
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 3: be going, what do I gotta do here? What we're

609
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: gonna do? So I had the perfect call on the

610
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: perfect play, perfect down and distance, and I got scored on.

611
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: So that's a yeah. That's That San Francisco game that

612
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 3: was out in Arizona was one of the I think

613
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: more impressive wins for this Bill's franchise at this current

614
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: point history.

615
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: Speaking of the NFL schedule, in case you missed it,

616
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,800

Speaker 3: gonna be a fun game.

644
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: Oh Packers Eagles, Yeah, I would agree with that.

645
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: I would say, just to see the spectacle of you know,

646
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 3: I hope they you know, spends. I don't just go

647
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 3: to the stadium, show the game and leave. I hope

648
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: I want to see some stuff, you know. I want

649
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 3: to see the local culture. I want to see the

650
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 3: fan I want to see people going what like, I

651
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 3: don't understand this football game? What are they doing?

652
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: What kind of football?

653
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, I want to see some of that. So we'll,

654
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 3: you know, we'll have to take all that in when

655
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 3: they when it comes to us. But yeah, Friday night game, NBC.

656
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: Is taking the a la carte approach.

657
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 3: Yes to this, and I'll say this too. It was

658
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 3: for decades and decades, pro football has stayed far away

659
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: from Friday night football because it was a nod to

660
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 3: high school football around the country. Like, you know, you

661
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: got TV shows named after Friday night lights. You know,

662
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: Friday night football in America is high school football, right,

663
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 3: So they stayed away from it for that, just for

664
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 3: that reason, because they you know, the kids, they want

665
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 3: families to go out and watch their kids play. All

666
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 3: that stuff. Well, now nothing is sacred anymore. I don't

667
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 3: know if it's good money to be made. Well yeah, yeah,

668
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: and the league is the best.

669
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 2: At doing that. Yes, why don't we spin around the NFL?

670
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 2: We didn't get a chance to do that. In the

671
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: opening segment of the show, which is brought to you

672
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: by Kalaida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills

673
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: and Colts wide receiver add and I Mitchell, who slid

674
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 2: all the way to pick fifty two in the second

675
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 2: round of the draft amid character concerns, is going to

676
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 2: wear jersey number ten in Indianapolis for the Colts.

677
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 3: Pray tell wise she is doing that number ten.

678
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 2: Because it represents the number of wideouts who were taken

679
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: ahead of him in the draft. Here is Mitchell's quote.

680
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 2: He said, I originally picked another number, but then I

681
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 2: was just up late thinking about it. I couldn't get

682
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: it off my mind. In case you're wondering, who are

683
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: the ten receivers taken ahead of ad Mitchell. Marvin Harrison

684
00:36:54,480 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: Junior League Neighbors, Roma Dunze, Brian Thomas Junior, Xavier the

685
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: Ricky Pierce all Xavier Legett, Keon Coleman, Lad mcconkee, and

686
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 2: Jalen Polk. So we'll see what kind of acts to

687
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: grind he has with his new number ten. Okay, good

688
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: luck to him. He's a talented player. There's any debating

689
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: that talented player.

690
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what, I'll say this too, the

691
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: that reason is points to the rumblings also of why

692
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: he dropped that foot.

693
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: It wasn't just one team that felt that way.

694
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 10: It wasn't.

695
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has some things to prove about his character

696
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: and his commitment and the kind of teammate he's going

697
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: to be more so than his abilities. Uh, you know,

698
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 3: certainly he's he's the he's the guy. This the guy

699
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 3: has the diabetes problem. Who's the sugar His blood sugar

700
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 3: levels drop and you know they, you know, said sometimes

701
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 3: he becomes like a different kind of guy because his

702
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: blood sugar levels out of whack and stuff. As it

703
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: got close or to it, they realized that it wasn't

704
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 3: all his blood sugar that was making him into a

705
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 3: different guy. So he's got some things to prove. And

706
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 3: this him having a chip on his shoulder, it's just

707
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: the type of just the level of self lacking self

708
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: awareness that made him drop. When you when people are

709
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: telling you they don't want you on their team, which

710
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 3: is what they were doing with this guy could play.

711
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 3: He was a really good player. And when people tell

712
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 3: you by not picking you that they don't want you

713
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 3: on your team, and you think that they're making some

714
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 3: sort of mistake, believe me, everybody's making the same mistake

715
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 3: for a reason, and it's you. It's you. He's got

716
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: a lot of talent, but there are questions about his

717
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: personality and his character that obviously were real.

718
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: Real in the eyes of a number of teams who

719
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 2: pay ten different receivers when they had a receiver neat

720
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: ten instead of him.

721
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 3: So now he might be one of and I listen,

722
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 3: he may be one of those guys that comes out

723
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: and you know, I mean they had they had questions

724
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 3: about Randy Moss when he came out, and you couldn't

725
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: you couldn't find a better teammate and a great player, obviously,

726
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 3: but all the stuff that was said about him and

727
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 3: his character was not true, you know. And you know

728
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: so it may not be true about ad Mitchell either.

729
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 3: But here we are.

730
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in the AFC, Steve Jets reporter Connor Hughes from

731
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 2: SNY dropped a little bit of a bombshell and a

732
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: Q and A session online. He reported that the Jets

733
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: this offseason made legitimate attempts to hire someone who would

734
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: essentially replace Hackett Nathaniel Hackett, not as a new offensive coordinator,

735
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 2: but in a title that would be considered a him,

736
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 2: and would proceed to run the offense. The Jets had

737
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 2: enough things they needed to address this offseason, according to Hughes,

738
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: without replacing areas they're content with. But the pursuit of

739
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 2: finding someone to put in a superior role on the

740
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball to that of Hackett is

741
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 2: signaling to Hughes and other Jets reporters that internally there

742
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: are legitimate concerns with Hackett's ability to successfully run things. Secondarily,

743
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 2: the belief now is, since that did not happen, that

744
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 2: the Jets are putting all their faith in Aaron Rodgers'

745
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: ability to correct Hackett's crummy play calling. Basically, according to

746
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 2: sources that Hughes spoke to many many times last summer,

747
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 2: Hackett would call a play and Rogers would completely change

748
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 2: it at the line of scrimmage. They're hoping he can

749
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: do the same come the regular season this year. Okay,

750
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: is this as jetsy as it gets?

751
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 3: I get it? And that and that speaks to I

752
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 3: mean to me. It points towards the hubris of Aaron

753
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 3: Rodgers when he had worked with Hackett before in Green Bay.

754
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 3: He that's what Aaron wants. He wants control of the offense.

755
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 3: And he knows if he if he if they hire Hackett, Hackett,

756
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 3: give it. He's got free rain. It's not that he

757
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 3: loves Hackett because he knows what a he knows. Hacket's

758
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 3: a yes man for him, well, and he's a he's

759
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 3: a dope. So you don't want to you don't want

760
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 3: to run his plays and he'll say, yeah, okay, you're better. Yeah, Yeah,

761
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 3: that's what Aaron Rodgers wants. It wasn't that he's autonomy, Yeah,

762
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: he doesn't. Nathaniel Hackett he's.

763
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: A great guy because he lets me do whatever I want.

764
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: Hackedly exactly.

765
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 2: He's you say, there's an interior motive here.

766
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 3: He's my best friend because he stays out of my way.

767
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just telling you right now, this is

768
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 2: getting more and more delicious, and we're only in May.

769
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 3: Listen, I'll say this. Though I'll say this, I will

770
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: still maybe even more so than some Jet fans. I

771
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 3: will still say this. I still believe Robert sala is

772
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 3: the right guy there, and so's Joe Douglas. Let me

773
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 3: but I'll say this too. Okay, it's all or nothing

774
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 3: this year, Oh it is. It is all.

775
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this because just over a week ago,

776
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, the Broncos and Jets executed

777
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: a trade in which Zack Wilson goes to Denver. We

778
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: remember the things that John Payton said about Nathaniel Hackett

779
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: as a head coach in Denver since he succeeded him.

780
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 2: You remember those comments, They were pretty damning comments. Yes,

781
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: do you think he acquired Zack Wilson for pure sport

782
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: to prove he can make a better quarterback out of

783
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 2: him than Nathaniel Year. I think that's there's some of

784
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: that in there, right.

785
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 3: That's that speaks to Sean Payton to oh it does.

786
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 3: Got a little bit, Absolutely got a little bit. Because

787
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 3: here's the thing. One of the things about an NFL

788
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 3: coach at any in any sport, but at the NFL

789
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 3: as a head coach, where you've had some, and Sean

790
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: Payton has had boatloads of success, particularly on the offensive

791
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: side of his football teams. He's won a Super Bowl,

792
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 3: I mean the whole thing. So he knows how. He

793
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 3: knows what an offense is, what it looks like, how

794
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 3: to he knows how to put the whole package together.

795
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 3: And part of the job description when you hire these guys,

796
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:41,760
Speaker 3: they've got some self confidence. Perhaps sometimes overdeveloped, but they've

797
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,959
Speaker 3: got some confidence. Lots of coaches all over the league,

798
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 3: not just on great teams, but on bad teams, believe

799
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: in themselves. They say, I can I can fix this guy.

800
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: I can. It is almost in the job description, can

801
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 3: you fix a broken player? I'm the guy. I'm the own.

802
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: Not only can I fix him, I'm the only guy

803
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 3: that can fix it. That is an attitude that is

804
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 3: rampant on either side of the ball football, I mean

805
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 3: offense or defense. So Sean Payton sitting out in Denver

806
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 3: and after all and getting kind of roasted for saying

807
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 3: what he said about Nathaniel Hackett, he said, oh, you,

808
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: I had not thought about that. Not only am I

809
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 3: gonna take my guys and beat yours, I'm gonna take

810
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 3: your guys and beat you. Yeah, the guys that you

811
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 3: stunk with, I'm gonna take and I'm gonna that there's

812
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 3: a lot. There is something in that. There's absolutely something

813
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 3: in that I had not that had not occurred to me.

814
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 2: But that is I think there's something in there.

815
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 3: I got a mortgage payment that says that.

816
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 2: We got to take a break. When we come back,

817
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls as we are asking you

818
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: what Bill's matchups on their twenty twenty four schedule do

819
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: you want to see in prime time this fall? Eight

820
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,479
Speaker 2: oh three, five point fifty. We're back to your phone calls.

821
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: Next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health

822
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: Fit's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, back here on One

Speaker 2: Bill's Live, Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you discussing what

824
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 2: matchups on Buffalo's twenty twenty four schedule do you want

825
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: to see in prime time? Had a request put in

826
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 2: for the Arizona Cardinals matchup. Somebody still sore about Hail

827
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 2: Murray four years ago they called it. Who was that?

828
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 2: Dennis in North Carolina called it a revenge game. It's

829
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 2: like four years ago Dennis let.

830
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 3: It go out of division. You never see those guys,

831
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: and they don't and they stink.

832
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 2: Anyway, We've been waiting four years to play these guys again.

833
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 3: It's on.

834
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 2: I want to see it on primetime.

835
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 3: Dang it that I gotta be honest. That was that

836
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 3: would have been maybe number fifteen sixteen on my I

837
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 3: mean it was not. In fact, that's what we should do.

838
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 3: We should go through this and say which games. There's

839
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 3: no way they're going to be on Blake.

840
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: We can do that in the second hour of the show.

841
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, let's uh, let's go to butcher on

842
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 2: the east side here, what's that butch?

843
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 11: My guys, my guys, thank you so much for taking

844
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 11: this call. Happy Monday with you, guys. I got a

845
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 11: couple of things I just want to talk about, really,

846
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 11: but let me start off with the topic. The topic

847
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 11: that on my fireers on my gym, that that I

848
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 11: wish is that we play on Monday night football opening

849
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 11: up against the Miami Dolphins in Miami. And I really

850
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 11: believe it'd be nice and cooler, won't be hot during

851
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 11: the sun like one o'clock that they did to us before.

852
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 11: I really believe that we're ready for him. I think

853
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 11: this regime that a lot, especially a lot of fans.

854
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 11: Steve your vet, Chris your vet. I consider myself a

855
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 11: vet to the point when I mean by that is

856
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 11: is that we know how to build a roster based

857
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 11: off talent and see things that can fit in proper places.

858
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 11: I really believe that we already got the foundation on

859
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 11: the fire as the first twenty two eleven of office

860
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 11: leven on defense. And plus we got a kick her

861
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 11: in a puntern. We got point, We got enough people

862
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 11: to score points. And these young regime what Sean McDermott

863
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 11: is going to move into now for the first time

864
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 11: in history, but he brought a lot of young teachers

865
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 11: in and we have a lot of good young talent.

866
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 11: Plus we have some good free agentc we've gone in

867
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 11: that's going to help us. So I say, Miami and

868
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 11: Buffalo Monday night football kickoff, based off what I'm looking at.

869
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 11: If you're going to start the season off with Baltimore

870
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 11: and Kansas City, I can see a whole variety of

871
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 11: every division probably start off playing against one of these

872
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 11: top rivals. So that's my assumption, and that's what I

873
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 11: would like. And our secondly based I said, I spoke

874
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 11: about the roster. I really I'm very intrigued of how

875
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 11: Brandon Bean and his staff have went and recruited and

876
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 11: signed undrafted free agents. Looking at the free agents that

877
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 11: I'm not talking about the extra addition free agents, and

878
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 11: I'm not knocking those guys at all. But when I

879
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 11: look at a guy like like this tackle six to seven,

880
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 11: three hundred and fifty two pounds, but.

881
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 3: I think we lost butch Yeah, I don't know.

882
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 11: I apologize. I don't know the last thing you heard

883
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 11: about anyway, I said this guy, Mike Mike Edwards sixty seven,

884
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 11: three hundred and fifty two pounds left tackle. Uh, I'm

885
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 11: very intrigued on that what Brandon me and his dumpy

886
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 11: street agent undrafted free agents along with the cornerback McCoy

887
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 11: from Miami, along with the defensive tackle for Miami. It's

888
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 11: called an offensive guard from UH from Alburn and my man,

889
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 11: my man Bill, my man Bills from UH from Utah.

890
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 11: I really believe a lot of these undrafted free agents

891
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 11: and clubs pluses, and most definitely Frank Gore Jr. But

892
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 11: you know, I really believe a lot of these un

893
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 11: drafted free age is gonna make the squad. Not they

894
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 11: need not make the fifty three stars, but they will

895
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 11: be on this practice squad and it will push our

896
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 11: scouting team to make our scouting team just that tough.

897
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 11: So when our offense or our defense goes against the

898
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 11: scouting team, you know, the scouty team till I think

899
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 11: it beat the starters and it is going to make

900
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 11: the competition so good. So anyway, I don't want to

901
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 11: be long winned. I thank you so much for taking

902
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 11: my call. I love W love the MSG, I love WG,

903
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 11: I W lavalla fans, and you guys take care. Thank

904
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 11: you so much.

905
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: Thanks, thanks much.

906
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we had Brandon Bean in here after

907
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 2: the draft and he confirmed for us. You know, with

908
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 2: the roster turnover that they've had this offseason, with a

909
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 2: lot of veterans getting moved off either because of expiring

910
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 2: contract or cap casualties, the guys at the back end

911
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 2: of this draft and in the undrafted rookie free agents

912
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 2: signing pool probably have a better chance this year of

913
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 2: finding one of those last few spots on the fifty

914
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: three then in years past.

915
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. And I'll say this too, And some

916
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 3: of the stuff that you find out going around the

917
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 3: league and I've talked to people from other teams and

918
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 3: guys who've been with other teams and scouts and gms

919
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 3: and all that. Some teams do things. They're thirty two

920
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 3: teams in the league, and you kind of think they're

921
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 3: all kind of the same. They are not. They are

922
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 3: really not. And Brownie and I watch Brandon Bean and

923
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 3: all the scouts and all the executives and the coaching staff.

924
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 3: They grind over the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh

925
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 3: rounds of these drafts. They grind over all these guys,

926
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 3: and they go deep and deeper and the deepest to

927
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 3: find guys who have something to offer. There are other

928
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 3: teams who, for lack of a better way to just

929
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 3: to make it clear, they open up. They go to

930
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 3: a website, see what the website says, and say, yeah, okay,

931
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 3: let's do this guy. I mean, that's all they do.

932
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 3: They take the consensus of what they hear around the

933
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 3: league about what a player is good and what player's bad,

934
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 3: or they have some limited capacity to evaluate these guys.

935
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 3: Brandon Bean and these guys grind down into the staff

936
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 3: and you'd be shocked at how different these teams evaluate

937
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 3: players and what the different protocols they have for picking

938
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 3: guys in the draft. Brandon has proven time and time

939
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 3: again the way the Bills do it, they get quality

940
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 3: guys who really have a shot deep in these drafts now,

941
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 3: and they've done it so much, particularly eighteen nineteen, twenty

942
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 3: twenty one, that it was hard to make this club

943
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 3: in twenty two to twenty three. But now because they've ate,

944
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 3: some of these guys have aged out. He's exactly right.

945
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 3: I think you're going to see a lot of these

946
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 3: maybe the over under on guys actually on the fifty

947
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 3: three man roster. I'll bet it's five, maybe five and

948
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 3: a half, which is if you're going to be on

949
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 3: the fifty three man roster, you're gonna be on the field.

950
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 3: I mean, there's just no two ways about it. I'll

951
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 3: bet you've got five guys who can contribute this year.

952
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 2: Some up four may have told you to that.

953
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 3: I really believe it. And there may be more than

954
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 3: that on the on the practice squad and all. I mean,

955
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 3: we may not lose any of these guys.

956
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 2: Right, hopefully, because several have been poached over the years.

957
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 2: Speaking of rookies and undrafteds, we have to take a

958
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 2: break here because When we come back, we're going to

959
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 2: be joined by executive director of the Senior Bowl Jim Naggy,

960
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 2: to talk about Buffalo's draft class, since half of their

961
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 2: ten selections were in the Senior Bowl this past January.

962
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: We'll catch up with him next here on One Bill's

963
00:52:27,200 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 2: Live presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

Speaker 1: These these One Bill's Live presented by called light a Health, Big.

Speaker 5: I think we've had a you go back and look

967
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 5: at since since I've got been here, We've we've found

968
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 5: a lot of players in the Senior Bowl.

969
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 3: I love it.

970
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 5: It's a it's an early chance to meet some of

971
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 5: these guys.

972
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 2: And Cole.

973
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 5: Uh Carter, you know several of these guys. I remember

974
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 5: personally saying, I don't get to meet them all because

975
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 5: you're you're kind of going through. But just you know,

976
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 5: those two guys in general stood out as pros. And

977
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 5: again you're getting to go down there and see him

978
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,399
Speaker 5: in one all ones. It just you know, I try

979
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 5: to scout as many player as I can. I'm obviously

980
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 5: hearing from what our scouts see that you know, and

981
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 5: I'm watching film. But that's a chance for guys I

982
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 5: may have missed live to at least see them in

983
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 5: a practice, see them go against guys at their level. Solomon,

984
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,439
Speaker 5: you know, was another one. So love the Senior Bowl.

985
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 5: That's why we make sure I'm down there every year.

986
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 3: All right.

987
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 2: That's Bill's general manager Brandon Bean talking about this year's

988
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 2: draft class. Half of his ten draft choices participated in

989
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl. Joining us now is the executive director

990
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 2: of the Senior Bowl. It is our good friend Jim

991
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: Naguy who joins us now on the line. And that's

992
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 2: a pretty good batting average, Jim, fifty percent of the

993
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 2: Bills class. I don't know that every team was that

994
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 2: was that eager to land Senior Bowl talent, but you

995
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 2: guys had a really good showing here in Buffalo. And

996
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 2: you know, I know every GM loves their draft class.

997
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 2: But that's got to kind of almost fill you with

998
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 2: a sense of pride too, that you're targeting the right

999
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 2: prospects to participate in your game, too, doesn't it?

1000
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, sure does it. It's great to hear that from

1001
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 8: guys like Brandon Nuts. That's that's big time for us,

1002
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 8: and that's why we work in collaboration with the teams.

1003
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 8: You know, the goal is to bring the players they

1004
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 8: want to see here. So yes, we have our own

1005
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 8: staff going out and doing doing all.

1006
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 6: Of our own work, you know.

1007
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 8: But when we get to you know, Halloween time and

1008
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 8: we're ready to invite, you know, that's when we called

1009
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 8: Terrence Gray and we spend I spend three hours on

1010
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 8: the phone with Terrence going over the board and comparing

1011
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 8: notes to make sure we're bringing the guys.

1012
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean they were.

1013
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 8: I mean five was a lot, but we had the

1014
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 8: Packers at eight. I think we had eight teams draft

1015
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 8: over five players. We set our all time record. We

1016
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 8: had one hundred and ten guys drafted. It was out

1017
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 8: forty three percent of the entire draft class this year,

1018
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 8: which was also a record for US. And ten first

1019
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 8: round picks, which we hadn't had for a few years.

1020
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 8: So yeah, it was a good year. And I appreciate

1021
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 8: Brandon saying what he said means a lot.

1022
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 3: And there is a kind of a trend. And you say,

1023
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 3: there's ten guys that went in the first round that

1024
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 3: played in your game. The trend is has been like

1025
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 3: for guys like Caleb Williams, the guys at the very

1026
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 3: tip top of the draft, maybe idle it back and

1027
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 3: not do too much, don't go to the Senior Bowl,

1028
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 3: kind of you know, limit their appearances, limit their workouts,

1029
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 3: and control everything that they can control. That's kind of got.

1030
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 3: It hasn't made it tougher for you guys to fill

1031
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 3: out your roster or I mean, I'm thinking back when

1032
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 3: I was, I would have, you know, cut off my

1033
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 3: little finger to play in the Senior Bowl, you know

1034
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 3: what I mean, for a chance to be seen. But

1035
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 3: that's not where all these guys are at this point

1036
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 3: in history.

1037
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 8: No, I mean you you would think, you would think

1038
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 8: theoretically it would be it would be getting more difficult,

1039
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 8: but it's not. I feel like, you know, we've been

1040
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 8: here six years now. I think this thing's building on itself.

1041
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 6: And so yeah, the Caleb Williams, those are gonna be tough.

1042
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 8: But I think guys understand, you know, from like that again,

1043
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,479
Speaker 8: and I don't fight guys. You know, we had guys

1044
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 8: that you know, we've had guys that were committed to

1045
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 8: playing the game that were top to ended up being

1046
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 8: top ten draft picks and when the agents call and

1047
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 8: pull them out for you know, injury concerns.

1048
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 2: I get it.

1049
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 6: I don't fight them on.

1050
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 8: That, but for you know, those guys that are middle

1051
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 8: of the first round, late first they know that if

1052
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 8: they move up, you know, even two, three, four or

1053
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 8: five spots. I mean, that's that's millions of dollars where

1054
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 8: they're being picked. And I've said that from the time

1055
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 8: I got to the Senior Bowl six years ago. Is

1056
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 8: this game actually to me makes more sense for those

1057
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 8: guys up high than than it does some of the

1058
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 8: guys in the later rounds, just because of the money

1059
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 8: that's attached each of those spots.

1060
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 2: So just looking at you know, the five players the

1061
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 2: Bills eventually drafted that were down there and participated, you know,

1062
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 2: Cole Bishop and Dwayne Carter. You heard Brandon address that

1063
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 2: he had a chance to meet those guys one on one,

1064
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 2: presumably briefly, but still what I mean, I know, I'm

1065
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 2: talking to you about one hundred and ten some odd

1066
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 2: guys you had down there. But what if you remember

1067
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 2: anything stood out about the week that Bishop put together,

1068
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 2: in the week that Carter might have put together down there.

1069
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know we had we had said Van pran

1070
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 8: Uh scheduled come down here to the game as well,

1071
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 8: so that would have been another one.

1072
00:57:58,400 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 6: I mean a scout and Tiland great.

1073
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 8: I was scouting tailand Grable three years ago when he

1074
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 8: was at Jacksonville State as a former high school quarterback.

1075
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 8: So we have background with all these guys. Keon Coleman's

1076
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 8: a guy we made a run at. We didn't get

1077
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 8: a single junior receiver in the game this year, so

1078
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 8: we did. We did do a great job there. But yeah,

1079
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 8: with with Cole and in Dwayne, I'd say, you know,

1080
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 8: the biggest thing for Cole is what he showed in coverage.

1081
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 8: When you go back and you look at the Utah tape,

1082
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 8: I mean it's a lot of He was really played

1083
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 8: as kind of a drop down underneath zone defender and blitzer.

1084
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 8: You didn't see him play from depth to ton. You

1085
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 8: certainly didn't see him play a lot of man coverage,

1086
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 8: which he was able to do down here. And he

1087
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 8: showed a lot of great things. I mean really from

1088
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 8: like a footwork perspective, you know him in transition, triggering

1089
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 8: on plays and coverage. I mean, he's got corner feet.

1090
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 8: The guy's a really good athlete. I think that's why

1091
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 8: you know, we saw that come to fruition at the

1092
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 8: at the combine, he tested off the charts. I don't

1093
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 8: know if people realized what a great athlete Cole was

1094
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 8: until they saw him in some of the coverage stuff.

1095
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 8: And then Dwayne Carter is a really just up to

1096
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 8: upfield player, and his initial quickness and his ability to

1097
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 8: get off the rock is what stood out in those

1098
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 8: one on ones that Brandon talked about. We had a

1099
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 8: really good offensive line group on that national squad that

1100
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 8: Dwayne was going up against a number of first round

1101
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 8: draft picks in that group, so it was kind of

1102
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 8: you know, it was good on good, great on great,

1103
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 8: and those one on one periods and and Dwayne did

1104
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 8: some really good stuff.

1105
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 3: Who do you think of this Bill's little group here,

1106
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 3: the handful of guys we've been talking about, who do

1107
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 3: you think you know is a steal and who do

1108
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 3: you think really elevated themselves when during their time there

1109
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 3: at your Pro Bowl, at your Senior Bowl?

1110
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think I think Cole did quite

1111
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 6: a bit.

1112
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 8: You know, Cole is probably a fringe, you know, a

1113
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 8: third fourth round pick going into the process, and I

1114
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 8: think between our game and like I said, the combine

1115
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 8: performance got him up into the second which is you know,

1116
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 8: leaving the combine, that's talking to teams around the league.

1117
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 8: I was, I was at at dinner one night at

1118
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 8: the Combine after his workout, and all three teams said this,

1119
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 8: this kid's not getting out of the second round now.

1120
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 8: So so that wasn't that wasn't much of a surprise.

1121
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 2: Uh.

1122
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 8: Eddie Olafocio was the guy that probably helped himself a

1123
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 8: lot during the process too.

1124
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 6: He was the guy that was you know, dinged up

1125
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 6: over his career at Washington.

1126
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 8: But but what I saw on tape was an instinctive guy.

1127
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 6: That can play on all three downs. Had a really

1128
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 6: nice week down here.

1129
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 8: Especially you know with linebackers, they don't we don't tackle

1130
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 8: the ground in practice, So what you're showing is the

1131
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 8: coverage stuff, and it really takes to the game where

1132
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 8: you're able to, you know, really show what you can

1133
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 8: do as an inside linebacker. And uh, you know, him

1134
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 8: playing the inside run, fitting up, tackling, getting guys on

1135
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 8: the ground, and then going to the combine again, another

1136
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 8: guy that tested off the charts.

1137
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 6: And I'll give his agent a lot of credit.

1138
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 8: You know, Eddie was gone on the cut line for

1139
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 8: us for our game and one of the things that

1140
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 8: put him over the top. I've got a good working

1141
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,439
Speaker 8: relationship with his agent and I trust him. And he said, listen, Jim,

1142
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 8: I got we're we're seeing where these guys preliminary test

1143
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 8: numbers are coming out, like he's really going to blow

1144
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 8: up the combine. So and he did, to his credit.

1145
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 8: So I think those guys help themselves quite a bit.

1146
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,919
Speaker 2: What is what is the pitch Jim to a guy

1147
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 2: like Ray Davis? I mean, the guy had over a

1148
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 2: thousand yards at three different schools, including two in the SEC,

1149
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 2: one of which not to knock Vanderbilt, but is usually

1150
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 2: and also ran in that conference. I mean, his resume

1151
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 2: is chock full of a huge body of work. He

1152
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily need to play in a game like yours

1153
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 2: to get any added exposure. What's your pitch to a

1154
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 2: guy like that?

1155
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 8: Well, there is that exposure, and it's the exposure to

1156
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 8: guy's like Brandon Bean. Just what Brandon talked about again.

1157
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 8: I think what gets lost in all this is guys

1158
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 8: like Brandon Bean. They're they're just like us, like you know,

1159
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 8: like we all I think is I think it's in

1160
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 8: everyone's nature we want to surround ourselves with people that

1161
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 8: we're familiar with, right and you know, rather like you know,

1162
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 8: I heard Brandon say, he said, scouts talking to him

1163
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 8: over the fall about these players. Well, it's one thing

1164
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 8: for a former scout like me to walk into a

1165
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 8: draft room and start pounding the table for a player

1166
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,439
Speaker 8: talking about a player. It's an entirely different thing when

1167
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 8: the guy making the call on draft day, like Brandon Bean,

1168
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 8: spends a week around him, you know. And I say

1169
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 8: that to all these guys, even though like really the

1170
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 8: pitch to the guys that are going to be first

1171
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 8: Droun picks is like, yeah, you're you're gonna be drafted

1172
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 8: there up high. But so far, like these gms have

1173
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 8: been out at pro games on the weekends, like Brandon's

1174
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 8: traveling with the Bills and he's he's going to games

1175
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 8: on Sundays, Like he didn't have a chance to go

1176
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 8: to you know, to Lexington, Kentucky and watch Ray Davis play.

1177
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 8: But he will have a chance to be down here

1178
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 8: around you for a week and mobile. So that's the

1179
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 8: pitch to all these guys, even if they're at the

1180
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 8: SEC level, they have a ton of tape against good competition.

1181
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 8: It's the familiarity and getting around these NFL guys and

1182
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 8: creating those relationships as early in the process as you can.

1183
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 8: So then the gms and the head coaches that are

1184
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 8: going to be making the calls in April, you know

1185
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,439
Speaker 8: they've they've got a good feeling about you because they'll

1186
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 8: spend time around.

1187
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 3: What's the next step for the senior ball? I know

1188
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 3: it's just gonna be more the same. You're trying to

1189
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,959
Speaker 3: get the best players in college football to get there

1190
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 3: and raise the level of and the raise the percentages

1191
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 3: of guys who participate of getting drafted. Where would you

1192
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 3: like to see this game be taken to? What's the

1193
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 3: next level?

1194
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 6: Well, continue to just build this thing.

1195
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 8: You know, when we got here six years ago, we

1196
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 8: were having somewhere in like the mid to high seventies drafted.

1197
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 8: Now we're at one ten. I'd love for that figure

1198
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 8: to get over half the draft. We can bring juniors now,

1199
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 8: so that was a huge huge change this year. The

1200
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,919
Speaker 8: NFL League office allowed us to bring juniors to the game,

1201
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 8: so hopefully improve those numbers. Like I said, we didn't

1202
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 8: get a single junior wide receiver, and maybe some of

1203
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 8: those guys got jumped by some of the seniors like

1204
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 8: you know, Lad McConkey and Ricky Piersoll and Xavier Legott.

1205
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 8: Those guys all came down here and played and maybe

1206
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 8: jumped some of those juniors that were being talked about.

1207
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 8: You know how you are coming into the process. So

1208
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 8: you know, we're not where we want to be. We've

1209
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 8: made strides and everyone down here has worked really hard

1210
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 8: at it, but there's still a long way to go.

1211
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 8: You know, even with some of the quarter we had

1212
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 8: two in the quarterbacks go in the top twelve this year.

1213
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 8: Hopefully next year. You know that that position, as we

1214
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 8: all know, kind of drives the bus. So whatever quarterbacks

1215
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 8: end up there at the top next year, we'll bring

1216
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 8: those guys down. But but no, just continue to build

1217
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 8: up what we're trying to get done.

1218
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 2: And Jim, I know you mentioned that the Packers and

1219
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 2: a few other clubs had even more Senior Bowl prospects

1220
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 2: drafted than the Bills with five. Does that hold true

1221
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 2: for some of those clubs year over year? Because I

1222
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 2: just decided to look back in the Bean McDermott era alone,

1223
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 2: for the Bills since twenty seventeen, twenty seven of their

1224
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 2: picks Senior Bowl participants and in the last four drafts,

1225
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 2: five from the Senior Bowl, four from the Senior Bowl,

1226
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 2: three from the Senior Bowl, five from the Senior Bowl.

1227
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's been at least three each of the

1228
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 2: last four drafts for Buffalo. Does anybody have the consistency

1229
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 2: of dipping into your game as much as Buffalo? Off

1230
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 2: the top of your head, I know, I'm kind of

1231
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 2: putting you on the spot with that one.

1232
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, no, I know these numbers. Baltimore is way

1233
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 6: up there.

1234
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 8: San Francisco's way up there, Seattle, Green Bay, those four

1235
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 8: popped to mind. I want to say, at the start

1236
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 8: of last year's regular season opening day rosters, we had

1237
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 8: thirty eight percent of the National Football League played in

1238
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 8: the Senior Bowls.

1239
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 6: So it would make it would just make sense statistically.

1240
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 8: That that, you know, those numbers, you know, kind of

1241
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 8: bear themselves out. But you know, the number we like

1242
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 8: to tell all our players is that since we got

1243
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 8: here six years ago, really, over the last five drafts,

1244
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 8: over ninety two percent of our guys that have played

1245
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 8: in the game have made a roster at some point

1246
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 8: the rookie year, maybe.

1247
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 6: Not opening day.

1248
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 8: And again, not all of our guys get drafted we

1249
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 8: had twenty some guys go undrafted this year, but like

1250
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 8: Richard Garage up to Buffalo, you know, you know, made

1251
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 8: the team as an undrafted guy. We take a lot

1252
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 8: of pride in those guys that come down here and

1253
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 8: don't get picked and end up making a fifty three.

1254
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 8: But you have back to your question San Francisco, Baltimore.

1255
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 8: You know a lot of those guys that were on

1256
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 8: the Ron Wolf Tree, John Schneider in Seattle, Chris Ballard

1257
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 8: and Indy the Colts picked a lot of guys so

1258
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 8: and Buffalo's right up there with those guys.

1259
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 3: Good stuff.

1260
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jim, I appreciate the time as always, and we'll

1261
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 2: catch up with you down the line. Thanks again.

1262
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 6: All right, guys, thanks for having me on.

1263
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem. That's Jim Naggy, executive director of the

1264
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 2: Senior Bowl, talking about the Five Bill's draft choices. You

1265
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 2: know another undrafted guy that played in the Senior Bowl

1266
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 2: and made the fifty three here, Quinton Morris played in

1267
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl a few years ago, did not get drafted,

1268
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 2: came here as an undrafted rookie free agent signing and

1269
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 2: made the roster as well.

1270
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 3: So I'll tell you this it's not just the GMS either,

1271
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 3: as the football guys who is the coaches, the position

1272
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 3: coaches in particular, this is one place where they have

1273
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 3: some voice, and so they go out there to the

1274
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 3: Senior Bowl. You know, I've told you the story a bunch.

1275
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 3: Bill Kohler, the former defensive line coach here and Buffalo.

1276
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 3: He's been around the league forever, very well respected. Those guys.

1277
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 3: When they get their hands on a player and get

1278
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 3: them in a workout and start working with these guys

1279
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 3: hands on, they can tell really quickly how good or

1280
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 3: how bad a guy is, at least in that point

1281
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 3: in history. Maybe not where he's headed, but at least

1282
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 3: what he's got under the hood and what he's worth

1283
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 3: right now. These assistant coaches and getting them on the

1284
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 3: field with a chance to coach him is absolutely enormous

1285
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 3: for a lot of the football people in the NFL.

1286
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 3: That's what the Senior Bowl gives them a chance to do.

1287
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 3: And then go down there and stand next to the

1288
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 3: even if they're not the coach running them through, they

1289
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 3: stand next to the drill. I mean famously, remember Sean

1290
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 3: McDermott standing eight feet away from Ed Oliver going through

1291
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 3: every rep I mean he's standing right next to him.

1292
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 2: And after Brandon being made this draft choice a few

1293
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 2: years ago, he talked about watching Tyler bass kick in

1294
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 2: pregame warmups at the Senior Bowl, hitting fifty eight sixty

1295
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 2: sixty two yards. He know, I'm just sitting here watching

1296
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 2: this kid spray sixty yarders more than halfway up the uprights.

1297
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 2: He goes, that was enough for me to take a

1298
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 2: deeper die, find out a little bit more about this kid.

1299
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 2: That kind of stuff. I mean, his area scouts have

1300
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 2: the information, but again it's the GM who's making the call.

1301
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 2: Seeing these guys up close and personal himself, it reminds

1302
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 2: me of an old quote that Buddy Nix used to say.

1303
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 2: He said, I need to smell their breath. The GM

1304
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 2: has to get in front of these guys. What's your

1305
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 2: body type look like in front of me, what's your personality,

1306
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 2: what's your disposition, what's your approach to the game. It's

1307
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 2: all of that stuff. It's all part of the puzzle.

1308
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 2: So when they can get in front of them, they

1309
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 2: feel more confident about the picks they have to make.

1310
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 3: The guys who actually make their living working with players,

1311
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 3: hands on talking to them, getting them like changing the

1312
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 3: way they play on a play to play on a

1313
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 3: down to down basis, which is what coaching is. Teaching

1314
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 3: the guys how to change the way they play or

1315
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 3: play within a scheme. They do that for a living.

1316
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 3: They can tell so fast where a player is at

1317
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 3: and getting them in a place where the Senior Bowl

1318
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 3: where they can because they can't do it when they're

1319
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 3: in college. You know, they got college coaches doing it.

1320
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 3: You know, they they just never get a chance to

1321
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 3: get their hand. Sometimes in the past and some and

1322
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 3: with some teams, like I was talking about a minute ago,

1323
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:24,799
Speaker 3: how different they are sometimes the first time the position

1324
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 3: coach ever sees the guys when he comes on the

1325
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 3: practice field. I mean, that's how different it is. The

1326
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:36,480
Speaker 3: Bills are doing something right. So is the Senior Bowl.

1327
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 2: And let's not I mean, just think about some of

1328
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 2: the teams he just mentioned that draft Senior Bowl players

1329
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 2: year over year like the Bills do. San Francisco, Baltimore.

1330
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,759
Speaker 2: You know, these are teams that are in the mix

1331
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 2: in the playoffs for the Super Bowl title year over

1332
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 2: year as well, much like Buffalo is. And I don't

1333
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 2: think that's by accident. Let's get back to the phones,

1334
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 2: though at eight h three zero five point fifty won

1335
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 2: eighty and eighty five fIF fifty two fifty. The number

1336
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 2: to get on board is, we are asking you on

1337
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 2: the bills twenty twenty four schedule of opponents, what matchup

1338
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 2: would you like to see in primetime this fall? Knowing

1339
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,679
Speaker 2: the schedule comes out on Wednesday. Back to the phones,

1340
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,799
Speaker 2: we go into Judy in Buffalo. What's up, Judy?

1341
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 9: Okay?

1342
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 10: I have two?

1343
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 3: All right.

1344
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 10: First of all, Baltimore Ravens are are picked to be

1345
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 10: the best team in our division, Okay, and I can

1346
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 10: see why. But for some reason, we've been underdogs. We've

1347
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 10: been able to beat them twice, so it would be

1348
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 10: a good omen if we could go in there or

1349
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 10: meet them and beat them again. The other one is

1350
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 10: the Houston Texans. I still remember that game. We were

1351
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 10: up sixteen zero and for some reason they came back

1352
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 10: and beat us. Now, well, Deshaun lockerms okay. Now they

1353
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 10: have a better quo quarterback, they have our old receiver

1354
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 10: Stefan Diggs. I just think everything would be set up

1355
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 10: to step really good competitive games.

1356
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like those picks, Judy, Thanks for the call.

1357
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 3: Good.

1358
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 2: It's funny. You're hearing, and Judy's not the first call

1359
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 2: that we've had with a tinge of revenge on the mind.

1360
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 2: She's still talking about the twenty nineteen playoff game, Yeah,

1361
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 2: from the AFC wild Card game when the Bills went

1362
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 2: to the playoffs after the twenty nineteen season.

1363
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 3: And Sean mcdermy has taken some criticism, particularly about the

1364
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 3: way that the sixteen point second half lead that went away.

1365
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 3: I'll say this one of the crucial things that happened

1366
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:43,679
Speaker 3: in that game.

1367
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 2: I think I know where you're going.

1368
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 3: They've got Deshaun Watson's a quarterback. He drops back and

1369
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 3: they make a defensive call. You've got Matt Mulano and

1370
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 3: I believe Shaq Lawson, or maybe it.

1371
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 2: Was Jerry Hughes.

1372
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 3: Jerry Hughes. It was Jerry Hughes and Matt Mulano who

1373
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 3: busts through and they both have Deshaun Watson dead to

1374
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 3: rights in the pocket. They hit each other and DeShawn

1375
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,640
Speaker 3: DeShawn comes out of it. They get knocked off, He

1376
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 3: rolls out, gets a third down on a third and

1377
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 3: eight or third and ten or whatever. He converts it

1378
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 3: because they missed the tackle in the pocket on a

1379
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 3: perfect defensive call. That's what a good quarterback does. That play, right,

1380
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 3: there was a crusher and you forget about it.

1381
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 2: That is not what I was thinking you were going

1382
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 2: to say. What I thought you were going to reference

1383
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 2: was the kickoff that when in the end zone.

1384
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that guy never the guy reverse had no

1385
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:43,600
Speaker 3: longer works for the National.

1386
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 2: The guy did not down the kick in the end zone,

1387
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 2: drop the ball. The Bills picked it up in the

1388
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 2: end zone, and it was called on the field as

1389
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:51,879
Speaker 2: a touchdown.

1390
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 3: That's right, and it should have been.

1391
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 2: And it should have been a touchdown because he gave

1392
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 2: no indication that he was giving himself up on the

1393
01:12:58,320 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 2: play or taking it.

1394
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 3: Touch back rules were that at that point.

1395
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, the league buzzes from New

1396
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 2: York down to the field and basically changes the call

1397
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,040
Speaker 2: and tells him, well, he meant to down it in

1398
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 2: the end zone. He had no intent of running out

1399
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 2: of the end zone with the football. He did not

1400
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:24,520
Speaker 2: signal for a touchback.

1401
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 3: The guy who made that reversal is the same guy

1402
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 3: who took away the Kelvin Benjamin touchdown catch in New England. Yeah,

1403
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 3: with no video evidence, so.

1404
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 2: It should have been if it wasn't sixteen seven. It

1405
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 2: is either twenty three nothing or twenty three seven. It

1406
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 2: should have been at that point in time instead of

1407
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: sixteen So the bill should have had another touchdown on

1408
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 2: the board. Yeah with that and that, Yeah, that one

1409
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 2: still chaps me.

1410
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 3: That's yeah.

Speaker 3: It's true.

1436
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 2: It's amazing how fast that stuff turns around. So that

1437
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 2: also leaves, just for bookkeeping purposes, t Higgins as the

1438
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 2: only franchise that were transition tag player without a long

1439
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 2: term deal. And I hope T Higgins is not holding

1440
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 2: his breath in Cincinnati.

1441
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll never he's gonna play. This is last season

1442
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. I don't know how they make that work.

1443
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,680
Speaker 3: And you know, hey, he's getting the tag is going

1444
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 3: to make him a lot of money, no question about it.

1445
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it make twenty one eight.

1446
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 3: This is a year though, where he will and and

1447
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 3: I get Cincinnati's position as well, So they've got this guy.

1448
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 3: He's making a ton of money. It's his last year.

1449
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 3: So but he's gonna be extremely motivated to have his

1450
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 3: best year ever because he's gonna hit free agency next year.

1451
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 3: That's big. That's really big, and he's not gonna and

1452
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 3: Cincinnati is not gonna be able to give him another

1453
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 3: tag because if they give him another tag, they won't

1454
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 3: be able to pay Chase, you know, Lamar Chase, Jamar Chase.

1455
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 3: They won't be able to pay him, both of them.

1456
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 3: So he knows this is last chance. Let's go. So

1457
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 3: if he comes out and hits a home run, he's

1458
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 3: gonna be have generational wealth there after that contract because

1459
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 3: he will get it. He will get it.

1460
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,920

Speaker 3: Sunday one.

1482
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 2: I know, talking to some people, some fans, you know,

1483
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:17,760
Speaker 2: in my neighborhood or just people I know, they said, yeah,

1484
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 2: the later tailgates were we're getting tough.

1485
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 3: It's an investment. It is, yes. And also here's the

1486
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 3: thing too, you get into it. For a lot of

1487
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 3: years we got nothing but one. So you get into

1488
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 3: a routine, you get a rhythm, you get something you'd

1489
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 3: used to, and you get something you like. You mean,

1490
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 3: you craft the like the life that you like, right,

1491
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 3: and that includes Sunday afternoon Bills games in the fall

1492
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 3: and when they start getting discombobulated because of the schedule

1493
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 3: and it's a four thirty game or it's a night

1494
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 3: game or you bah blah blah.

1495
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:58,759
Speaker 2: It's like, I mean, I'll never complain because I remember

1496
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 2: when all we had were one o'clock. Yes, he felt,

1497
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 2: and one o'clocks are nice, don't get me wrong. They

1498
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:06,639
Speaker 2: have their appeal to especially on a beautiful fall afternoon

1499
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 2: here in September, one o'clock sunshining almost the entire game.

1500
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 2: Like that's tough to be.

1501
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 3: That's right, you know, and that's true. But it also,

1502
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 3: you know, we all remember this too, and it seems

1503
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 3: like a million years ago. But you felt like you

1504
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 3: weren't really a part of the NFL unless somebody wanted,

1505
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 3: somebody else wanted to see you play if you're not

1506
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 3: getting a primetime games, because you don't get respect, and

1507
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 3: nobody likes that. So you know, but man, nine times

1508
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 3: last year. Nine.

1509
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be nine this year. Dinah on

1510
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 2: the tweets sheet says Casey Houston, Detroit and fill out

1511
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:51,639
Speaker 2: the rest with division opponents. Casey is always a great

1512
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 2: game Houston for Diggs and Detroit because I think they'll

1513
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 2: take their conference. Wow, Dinah calling the NFC champs.

1514
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 3: I don't think so, no, no, So.

1515
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 2: Do you think they were a flash in the pan

1516
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 2: last year. Do you think, Yeah, you don't even think.

1517
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 2: Do you think they're a playoff team this year?

1518
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:11,839
Speaker 3: For the NFC week, Yes, it's a week to conference

1519
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,640
Speaker 3: and they're and they're in that division as well with

1520
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 3: Minnesota rookie quarterback whoever Green Bay, but Chicago too, so

1521
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 3: there's two teams over there, and they could certainly sweep

1522
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 3: both those teams. So yeah, that's yes, Detroit is going

1523
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 3: to have not an easy road, but they're gonna they're

1524
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 3: gonna be in contention for a wild card at least.

1525
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1526
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 2: W w J A d on the tweet sheet says

1527
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:45,679
Speaker 2: Houston and Casey have to be prime time. It would

1528
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 2: be such a waste otherwise.

1529
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not. I told you earlier.

1530
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:50,839
Speaker 2: Ye, that is high on Houston.

1531
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 3: No, I'm not. I don't think. I don't think the

1532
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 3: rest of the country is as hyper sensitive to the

1533
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 3: Steph Diggs stuff as Bill's fans are.

1534
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,639
Speaker 2: Well, hold on a second, isn't it the national media

1535
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,719
Speaker 2: that make that made the biggest deal of the Stefan

1536
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 2: dig stuff here for the better part of the last.

1537
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 3: Two years, they tried to Yeah, well, now.

1538
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 2: That it happened, you don't think they're gonna take advantage

1539
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 2: of that. I think they're gonna be all over it. No,

1540
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 2: because I think somebody's gonna be like that game.

1541
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 3: Think about it. You had the worst division in football

1542
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 3: last year, well maybe not the worst, but the worst

1543
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 3: division in a bad conference last year was the NFC East,

1544
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:29,120
Speaker 3: and those teams are always on prime time, so it's

1545
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 3: just they're gonna divv all that out. So there's gonna

1546
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 3: be other intriguing matchup. Like all Kansas City's games, they're

1547
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 3: still that. You know, they're two times to be defending champions,

1548
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 3: so they're still gonna have a ton of primetime games.

1549
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,719
Speaker 3: So will San Francisco because it's a big television market

1550
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 3: and they they're.

1551
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 2: Good television market too.

1552
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,759
Speaker 3: Don't forget Houston's the number three market in the country,

1553
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 3: and Caleb Williams in Chicago now puts Chicago back on

1554
01:21:55,280 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 3: the map after being avoid in the second largest team

1555
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 3: market in the country.

1556
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 2: All right, so let me throw it at you this way.

1557
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 2: You're a television network. You have primetime slots to fill.

1558
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 2: Are you filling it with c J. Stroud or Caleb Williams.

1559
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:15,759
Speaker 3: Early in the season? Caleb?

1560
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah, I'm not CJ. Stroud. I know what I've got.

1561
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 2: I got a playoff winning quarterback who's only going this

1562
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 2: way right now. Gimme, gimme CJ. All day, every day

1563
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 2: over Caleb Williams. You just picked the Bears franchise. You,

1564
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 2: of all people, just pick the Bears franchise.

1565
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 3: You gotta get them early because they're gonna stink and

1566
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 3: you want to see Caleb Williams from that, You know.

1567
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:48,719
Speaker 2: I think CJ. Stroud is a notch, maybe a notch

1568
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 2: and a half in terms of entertainment value.

1569
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 3: You know below show me some of these teams doing

1570
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 3: this with a first play schedule.

1571
01:22:57,840 --> 01:22:59,639
Speaker 2: Well, okay, that's a fair argument.

1572
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 3: The Bill's have been doing with the first place schedu

1573
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 3: four years.

1574
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's for me. It's not a Bill's argument.

1575
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 2: For me, it's an appeal argument. And I don't and look,

1576
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Digs thing. I don't even think

1577
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 2: that's the lead narrative of Bill's Texans. It's Stroud and

1578
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 2: Allen Diggs is gravy that. Yeah, you know your network and.

1579
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 3: Talk about I get it. I get it. I think

1580
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh and LA is gonna put them back on

1581
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 3: the map in a big way. Yes, I think they're

1582
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 3: gonna be good enough and solid enough. They're gonna be

1583
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 3: a little bit I think Harbor on the way he

1584
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 3: coaches a little bit like it's gonna be was here

1585
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 3: in Buffalo, where they may not win every game, but

1586
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 3: they're they're always in it, always in it, and they're

1587
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 3: gonna enough out. They're gonna they're gonna nip some people

1588
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 3: and there all of a sudden, it's gonna be like,

1589
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:49,879
Speaker 3: you know, gosh, they're.

1590
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 2: They're just not Chargers team is plucky.

1591
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,600
Speaker 3: Ye, They're not going away, right, And that's where the

1592
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:56,880
Speaker 3: Bills started with Sean mcdermoy The just wouldn't go away,

1593
01:23:56,880 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 3: and certainly they want enough games to get in. That's

1594
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 3: the way I think the Chargers are gonna be. So

1595
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 3: late in the season, they'll start getting flexed in, you know.

1596
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 3: And I know this too, whether we'd like to admit

1597
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:14,600
Speaker 3: it or not, I think the Bills are more of

1598
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 3: a weight and see team for Networks this year, Well,

1599
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 3: I said, let's catch them later in the year maybe

1600
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 3: if they still can, if they still play good and

1601
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:22,679
Speaker 3: they still win again, then we'll go back to them.

1602
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:25,759
Speaker 3: But I think they're gonna be cooled on the Bills

1603
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 3: for the time being. Now, you may get a scheduled

1604
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 3: Thursday night matchup in the first two months of the season,

1605
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 3: like through October. You might get that Houston game on

1606
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 3: a Thursday night game. But I don't think it's gonna

1607
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 3: be like opening weekend on a Sunday night, all right.

1608
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I just don't think it's a heated rivalry,

1609
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 3: which is what people really want to see. I think

1610
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 3: you'd get you'd be better off better served put in

1611
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 3: Miami Buffalo than Houston Buffalo early in the season.

1612
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm fine with that. But I two playoff teams

1613
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,599
Speaker 2: from last year that both advanced to the Divisional round.

1614
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it.

1615
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's gonna be a primetimer.

1616
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 2: I just have that feeling. A Keem says, home primetime game,

1617
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 2: San fran Away, primetime game Houston. Why San Francisco because

1618
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 2: it's the most appealing on They're a home game on

1619
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:20,600
Speaker 2: the schedule. Acheme, just so you know Houston because we

1620
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 2: traded digs there. They also give me twenty twenty Bills vibes.

1621
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 2: With probably a better roster than the Bills had in

1622
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 2: twenty He's talking about the Texans there, right, they are loaded.

1623
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 2: I mean, the job they did in free agency last year,

1624
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 2: it's clear they are trying to take advantage of the

1625
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback contract right now. Sure, so they are loaded

1626
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 2: for bear that roster this year. I mean, but whether

1627
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 2: it's Joe Mixon. And you can say what you want

1628
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 2: about Joe Mixon, whether you think he's washed or not.

1629
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 2: But they bring in Joe Mixon, a host of other

1630
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 2: veteran players trade for Diggs, et cetera, et cetera. They

1631
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 2: are loading up to take a run at it right now.

1632
01:25:59,400 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 3: We'll see.

1633
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're gonna be thirteen and four, but

1634
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna be competitive. Andrea says Houston for obvious reasons.

1635
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 2: In fact, I hope it's the opener and then the

1636
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 2: media can talk about other things. So she's like, get

1637
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 2: it out of the way.

1638
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it.

1639
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 2: That was my opener.

1640
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're you and Brownie, Uh, Andrea.

1641
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, the two of us, nobody else.

1642
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 3: We'll see. Well, they're gonna play at some point, you know.

1643
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 9: Uh.

1644
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 3: And it could be just a plain old one o'clock

1645
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 3: game in the Sunday afternoon, could be. But when you look,

1646
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:35,759
Speaker 3: and here's the thing. You gotta look at other teams.

1647
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 3: It's all these teams are gonna be eligible for Monday

1648
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 3: night games, for night games, primetime games. So there's you know,

1649
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,639
Speaker 3: as juicy as that is, it's one of the juicier

1650
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 3: ones on the Bills schedule. I think you look around

1651
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 3: the league and there's gonna be some other heated rivalries.

1652
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 3: You know, the Chiefs and Raiders are going to be

1653
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 3: a big heated rivalry, the Jim Harbaugh and the Chiefs,

1654
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 3: you know, coming in the Chargers and the Chiefs are

1655
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 3: going to be big this year. I just you know,

1656
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 3: it's hard to squeeze the Bills in nine times like

1657
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,679
Speaker 3: they did last year. And I think some of these games,

1658
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 3: even though they look juicy to us, or at least

1659
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 3: they're most interesting to us, don't seem as juicy to

1660
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 3: people outside our fan base.

1661
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,639
Speaker 2: Break time for us here. We'll finish with some final

1662
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 2: thoughts on the tweet cheet when we return here on

1663
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 2: one Bill's Live presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1664
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 2: All right, some final thoughts on the tweet sheet here

1665
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 2: about Bill's opponents for twenty twenty four that you want

1666
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 2: to see in a prime time matchup. Colin says, Miami,

1667
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 2: so the entire country can see how Josh pulverizes them

1668
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 2: every year, and they've seen that in the playoffs a

1669
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 2: couple of years ago and in the division game last year,

1670
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 2: last game of the regular season for the entire league.

1671
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:10,759
Speaker 2: That ryan, bring on the Chiefs. I want the best

1672
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 2: when the lights are bright. Yep, that's that's a common sentiment.

1673
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 2: We've heard that before. Spurs and Bill says, Chiefs, Texans, Dolphins,

1674
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 2: and Jets will be the four primetime games. Last week,

1675
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 2: Steve put the over under on primetime games for the

1676
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 2: Bills at five and a half. I took the under

1677
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 2: because I think it's gonna be five. You think it's

1678
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,639
Speaker 2: going to be more, or at least you did last week.

1679
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 3: No, I think that I would drop the the the

1680
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 3: over unders moving.

1681
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 2: Oh it's.

1682

Speaker 3: Down to five. Okay, the over unders five. But I

1683
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 3: always count four thirty Sunday afternoon games as a prime

1684
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 3: time because it's the biggest win that I might go.

01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 3: It's the biggest window there is.

1686
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 2: Because what they played, they played four.
