1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: the straged beer of normalcy. All right, let's rock and

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: roll here on a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker back

6
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: in the saddle, here on one. Bill's live here with

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: you until three. Good to be back. Sure, Um, since

8
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: you did not get an opportunity to weigh in on

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I will yield the floor to you.

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: Steve your your lasting takeaways from super Bowl fifty sets. Yeah,

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: it was a good game. I think it was played

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: much like a regular season game. He had some stuff

13
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: going on that was like what you know, it's a

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: little snoozy in the first little bit. Um, the officials

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: stayed completely out of the way. I'm not sure, and

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: I know it made the game flow. I thought the

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: first half was like, wow, we're almost done. Yeah, right,

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: halftime show. I gotta say I've never been a hip

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: hop guy, and certainly not a rap guy. I liked it, Okay,

20
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: I kind of liked it. Sorry, um, And I was

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: surprised that this is all you'll be laughing at what

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: you remember, I'm surprised that the Super Bowl needed a

23
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: hype man, but the Rock pulled it off. Yeah, I

24
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: didn't know that. The you know, the league doesn't need it.

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: It's like a it's like a ring announcer, you know, Yeah,

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: you don't need them. I get it, you don't really

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: need it. It's cool, a little something extra finally here,

28
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: but it's not really here because we gotta win on

29
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: you to finish, right. So the guy, I mean, they're

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: lined up ready to kick off and he's like, they're like,

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: oh gosh, one more thing this and this wasn't a

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: twenty second thing, like you know, Michael Buffer says this

33
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: thing and they go, it's ninety seconds. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

34
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: you had to talk about both teams. I mean, who

35
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: wrote this? Like poor guys reading off a Q cards

36
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: off camera, right or they say, oh you could see

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: him reading off the Q cards. His eyes are not

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: even looking at the camera. I mean, when you're giving

39
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: a ninety second thing to shout on the fields, I'll

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: tell you this too, he's on a hard count. Yeah,

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: take it from a TV guy that was on those night.

42
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: You got this long go, let's see, let's rehearse They

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: probably rehearsed all of this like Saturday. They got in

44
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: there and they said, hey, Rock, you're gonna have to

45
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: rehearse your thing on da da da dada. We're gonna

46
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: be and they probably said, you know what, we're gonna

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: get us some que cards, you know, the rehearsal thing.

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: That's the way it goes. And so, yeah, that was

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: all right. The game was good. How about the Rams

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: going minus two and turnovers and winning, right? I think

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: I heard a stat that in the last twenty one

52
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, the team that has gone the team that

53
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: has turned the football over has gone nineteen and two.

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: I would imagine too, that the teams are one of

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the two losing teams. Well, I know this as well,

56
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: that from nineteen but the Super Bowl, one of the

57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowls I was, and I can't remember all of them.

58
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: One of them we turned it over nine times. The

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: other one we didn't turn it over at all. But

60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: neither of the other team, the Giants. It was a

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: one point game. If neither team turns it over, you'd

62
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: think there's no question when you look at the way

63
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: that game turned out, Rams were a better football team

64
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: than the Bengals. Yeah, and it. But the Bengals, playing

65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: like they've been playing, made it close and had a

66
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: chance to even win it. But I think the depth

67
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: and the and the star power of the Rams took over.

68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the last drive, fifteen play drive, and this

69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: is exactly the same kind of drive that Josh and

70
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: the Bills put together to come back and you know,

71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: get back into in the Kansas City game, taking it

72
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: to overtime and all that. One of those fifteen play

73
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: monsters and they just give us Cooper Cup, Cooper Cup,

74
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Um. I thought at the end of the game,

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: and maybe it was a little bit of that last play,

76
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: the fourth down, I thought, Wow, Aaron Donald was going

77
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: to be the MVP, you know. Yeah, to look at it,

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: I thought, had but Cup because of the way he

79
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: handled that last drive and het O b J leaves

80
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: the game right leaning almost exclusively on him. He's picking

81
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: up a first down on a jet sweep, you know,

82
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: on a four What was the other thing? It was

83
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: a fourth down? That was a good play call. I

84
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: mean there's like fifteen guys on every roster that could

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: have picked that up on that play the way it

86
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: was blocked. Okay, speaking of this it's opportunity and he

87
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: made most of he did it. But that was that

88
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: that the jet sweep was like, you know, he stuck

89
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: his foot in the ground and got a first down,

90
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: got it easily come the touchdown. Everything the touchdown catches

91
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: were unbelievable. He got the one in the back corner

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: of the end zone that there was one of them

93
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: didn't count. He caught like three of them and one

94
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: of them didn't count or two of them. Yeah, and

95
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: he got tagged on the last one he got t

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: tagg uh. But the one that didn't count was the

97
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: one he was wide open in the back corner of

98
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: the end zone right he got his feet down. There

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: was a penalty on the play. It was the word

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: the offsetting one. That's the one he got tagged on, right,

101
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: the offsetting one. And then I heard somebody say, well,

102
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: he shouldn't even have been on the field to catch

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: the winning touchdown because he was knocked out, right, he

104
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: was knocked out. He stayed down. Yeah, and I you know,

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: I this is the one, the one we're seeing now

106
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: is the one he where he got in the back

107
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: of the end zone. There was like flags all over

108
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: the place, and then uh, the next one when he

109
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: got really whacked was right in the same corners, right

110
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: in the same spot. And uh wow, it was. It

111
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: was a really good game. It lived up to it.

112
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: You know. I love the fact that it was played

113
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: crisp and clean and the officials didn't get into it,

114
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: and you know they until the end. Well, yeah, the

115
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: only bad call they made was the one the pass

116
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: interference set the goal line on what was on cup

117
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: and Wilson the linebacker will get Yeah, that was not

118
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: a penalty to me. They also let the Bengals get

119
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: away with one on the long Tyler Higby touchdown is

120
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: not Tyler Higgins boyd And I was boy is t

121
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Higgins t Higgins touchdown where he pulled Jalen Ramsey down

122
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: and then made the catch for the touchdown. Um. I

123
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: didn't have a problem with the officiating, Yeah they didn't.

124
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: They weren't perfect, but they stayed out of the way

125
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: and it and the bad calls were both directions, both

126
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: non calls and made calls. The play calling at the

127
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: end on the Rams and the I mean the Bengals win.

128
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: I told you, I'm I'm all about I'm so done

129
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: with questioning play calling. Why is Sam J. P. Ryan

130
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: on the field though, You're right that I can see people.

131
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: I can say you gotta have your best players on

132
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: the field at the most critical time. It's the game.

133
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: You've gotta have your best now. Maybe the guy was hurt,

134
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: maybe he was dang don and nobody said anything. I

135
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: don't know, but he was out for one play there

136
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: on the fourth down play, you don't put him on. Yeah,

137
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: he's still not on the field. He's still not on

138
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: the field, so you can say whatever you want. On

139
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: the third down play and the kid almost got pet

140
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: Ryan almost got it anyway, except Aaron Donald is you know,

141
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: it's superhuman. But it's just there's so many layers of

142
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: what this Super Bowl was all about. He was the

143
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: culmination of a of a postseason run by the NFL

144
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: that had every single solitary playoff game in this year's

145
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: tournament was a one score game or a walkoff score. Yeah,

146
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: it was an absolutely unbelievable playoff run by all fourteen

147
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: teams that managed to get there. They all played extremely well,

148
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: and it was the bounce of the ball and the

149
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: and the play call and a guy making a superlative

150
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: effort on one side of the ball or the other

151
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: to give give him the win, whoever it was, and

152
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: it was just a just a fantastic ending to a

153
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: tremendous football year. You got a young quarterback with the Bengals,

154
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: that's you know, everybody says, hell, he'll be he'll be back.

155
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: You know, he'll he'll be back. We've seen guys think

156
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: that before and it didn't happen. And we've seen the

157
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: opposite happened, where you think, well, this guy is not

158
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: that good and then all of a sudden, he wins

159
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: seven of them over the course of twenty years. You know,

160
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: he turns into a guy. So I just think there's

161
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: a lot there was a lot of layers that to

162
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: this Super Bowl and how it was played out, and

163
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was an awesome culmination to a great

164
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: season for the league. The playoff, This playoff tournament was

165
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: spectacular every weekend, every game just spectacular, real blowouts. It

166
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: was unbelievable, and I just you know, you can't it's

167
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: it's a little bit like the Chiefs Chiefs Bills game

168
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Nobody wanted it to end on that.

169
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: It was great. Let's just keep this rolling. And I

170
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: think that's it was a great place for the league

171
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: to be when it ended, and the game was great,

172
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: and if it's not your team in there, you certainly

173
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: want to see a game like that. Yeah, close game.

174
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: The ratings came out today to no one's surprise. Total

175
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: average audience delivery one hundred and twelve point three million viewers.

176
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: It's the most watched Super Bowl in five years. In

177
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty one in twenty seventeen, that one was

178
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: broadcast on Fox. This one was on NBC. But what

179
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: they count now in the ratings are you know, bars

180
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: taverns that are airing games. Also, those used to never

181
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: be counted in the ratings. He used to be households only.

182
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: So they've expanded the total audience reach through the ratings.

183
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: Not to mention the fact that they have the streaming platforms,

184
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, like NFL Digital and Yahoo Sports. They're all

185
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: streaming the game. I think NBC even had it on Peacock,

186
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: their streaming service. So total reach of one hundred and

187
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: sixty seven million viewers, it was the biggest audience. Obviously,

188
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: you had the expanded seventeen game regular season schedule, so

189
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: through the course of the entire postseason, there you go

190
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve point three million viewers total audience delivery,

191
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: largest viewing audience in five years for a Super Bowl

192
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: counting the postseason. Steve I saw this on social media.

193
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: The Bill's final point differential for the twenty twenty one

194
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: season plus two eighteen. Rams were who won the Super Bowl.

195
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: They were a plus one twenty. Now, I know the

196
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: Rams probably had a more difficult regular season schedule, but

197
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: that's still almost double. Many people saying, and the Bills.

198
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: The odds on Bills in the Chiefs are the odds

199
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: on favor to go back to and win this, to

200
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl and next year already you know,

201
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: at this early stage the Bills, when you look back

202
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: and look at the total package, nobody in the league

203
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: put together a season like the Bills did statistically, And

204
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, you can say what you want about statistics

205
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: or for losers, it's still a pretty good measuring stick

206
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: of how good the football team was, and particularly when

207
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: they outplayed their statistics in the last couple of games

208
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: of the season, the last couple of weeks of the

209
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: regular season and of certainly the playoffs, the Bills were

210
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: just unbelievable. Josh was playing Razor Sharp. They found their

211
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: rhythm and they were going, you know, and it just

212
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: it took a road game to get them out. I

213
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: think if that game and you think about how close

214
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: it was, all these close games, you know, if that

215
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: AFC Championship somehow ends up here in Buffalo against the

216
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, you know, it's fun to think about how

217
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: different the season could have turned out. Indeed, the top

218
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: metered markets for Super Bowl viewing, based on the forty

219
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: four markets available. Number one, to no one's surprise, was Cincinnati,

220
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: with a forty six point one rating. The cities after

221
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: that are interesting Detroit number two, number three, Pittsburgh number four,

222
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: Columbus I mean, I mean, we're all rust Belt there.

223
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's the whole dang rust Belt. It's all Ohio.

224
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and Western Pa in Michigan number five, Kansas City,

225
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: number six, Milwaukee tied with Cleveland, number eight, Boston number nine,

226
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: Philadelphia number ten Jacksonville. Jacksonville outdrew Los Angeles. Los Angeles

227
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: is not in the top ten for watching the Super

228
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: Bowl in their hometown with their team. Let me just

229
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: say this, I'm not a businessman, obviously, I'm just a

230
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: guy who you know, I've always been a guy who

231
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: worked for somebody else. Right, So but if I'm a guy,

232
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: why do I drop five billion dollars into it win

233
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: a city that does not care because there's still money

234
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: to be made somehow, I guess. I see, I don't

235
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: know those things. I don't must be, but he's not

236
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: doing that unless he's making more money than where he was,

237
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that's yeah, Saint Louis was. Yeah,

238
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: and I get that too. It's a step up a man.

239
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: The investment he made in that team and that that

240
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: payroll the team, the infrastructure, the relocation, the lawsuits, settlement,

241
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. And they, I mean, nobody's watching

242
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, they got a thirty six point

243
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: seven rating for now. Thirty six point seven is just

244
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: beat me wrong. It's a strong number. Monster, that's a

245
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: monster number for any other program other than the football game.

246
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: It's a monster number. So he is, you know there

247
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: is that that's ten points below Cincinnati though, But you

248
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: know at that ten points below Cincinnati, maybe more households. Yeah,

249
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: because of the population density. Yeah, I know what you're saying,

250
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: but come on, man, like it's the Super Bowl. You

251
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: can't watch your own team, like what do you? Maybe

252
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't. And I've talked to I know

253
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: people that live in LA, born and raised in LA,

254
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: and they tell me time and time again that what

255
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: LA is primarily is a college football town. Like the

256
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: whole UCLA USC thing is big there. I get it,

257
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: and it hasn't changed, you know, in about one hundred years.

258
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: But I'll say what games like this can strengthen the

259
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: grip that your franchise has, absolutely right, because now you're

260
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: gonna have kids and families and people and you know,

261
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: just regular you know, adults who just like, okay, all right,

262
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: they won the championship. Okay, I'll now they're my team, right,

263
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: So now they'll take some ownership of it, and that

264
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: grows over time, particularly if they continue to be successful.

265
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: Now if the if the other shoe drops, like everybody

266
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: expects it too with the Rams, like sooner or later,

267
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: they got to pay the piper, right note first round

268
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: draft picks. They're not going to be able to refurbish

269
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: their roster they got. You know, now the Super Bowl

270
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: hangovers going to hit in and I'm let me tell

271
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: you something in LA can hang them can put a

272
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: beaten on you in a hangover situations, right. Can you

273
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: imagine being Cooper Cup in LA these days? So well,

274
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: it will remain to be seen if they can continue

275
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: with success, which is you know, it's you've got to

276
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: keep doing it. This one game is not gonna last

277
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: that long, yeah, if you're trying to expand a fan base.

278
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: NFL News and Notes, we didn't get a chance to

279
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: mention this yesterday, but ESPN's Dan Grausiana was the first

280
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: to report that the Bills will be losing another member

281
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: of their coaching staff. Assistant defensive line coach Jacques is

282
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: Air will reportedly be hired by the Houston Texans to

283
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: be their defensive line coach, so he would be joining

284
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Dable, Heath Farwell, Shay Tierney, Bobby Johnson, and assistant

285
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: GM Joe Shane as departures off of this staff and

286
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: front office. So there's that some fun news to report.

287
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis handed the key to the city in his

288
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: hometown of Sanford, Florida, to honor him for his record

289
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: setting performance in the Bill's divisional playoff against Kansas City,

290
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: where he scored a record for touchdowns. Davis was quoted

291
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: as saying, it means a lot to me. I just

292
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: want to be a motivation to the youth and be

293
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: able to encourage them to live out their dreams and

294
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: do what they can do. So kind of a neat

295
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: thing for gay back in his hometown of Sandford, Florida.

296
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was neat. That's awesome. Yeah, so a

297
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: cool deal for him. And then this just broke right

298
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: before we got on the air. So you had the

299
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee a little over a week ago listen

300
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: to testimony from five women who worked for the Washington

301
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: Football Organization. They described a toxic work environment, including inappropriate treatment,

302
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: sexual harassment, and the like. And as we know, the

303
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: league conducted their own investigation but kept a lot of

304
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: that stuff under wraps and did not make any of

305
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: their reports and findings from their investigation public. The House

306
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee compelled the NFL to submit information to them

307
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: for their review from that investigation, and an update was

308
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: provided by a House Oversight Committee spokesperson who said, the

309
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: Committee has received additional documents from the NFL, which we

310
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: are currently reviewing. We have been clear that the NFL

311
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: must stop hiding the results of the Wilkinson Investigation and

312
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: fully comply with the committee's requests, or the committee will

313
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: have no choice but to take further action. The chairs

314
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: are committed to uncovering the truth about what happened within

315
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: the Washington in Commander's organization and how allegations were handled

316
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: by the NFL in order to inform legislative efforts to

317
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: make workplaces safe for everyone. So it's going to be

318
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: very interesting. The deadline was yesterday for the NFL to

319
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: get this requested information over to the House Oversight Committee.

320
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: They've done that and now it'll be up for review

321
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: by said Oversight Committee and we'll see what the ramifications

322
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: of that are. But that story is not dead and gone.

323
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: It is very much alive and they're going through the

324
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: process there in DC. So we'll see what comes of it,

325
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: hopefully something knowing how the lengths that you know, those

326
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: women had to go through public scrutiny, all of that

327
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: stuff just to get the truth out there about what

328
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: they had to endure while they were working for the

329
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: Washington football team. So we'll see where it goes. That's

330
00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: going to be worth watching. We've seen you get and

331
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't know certainly, um what were is being alleged

332
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: in Washington is beyond uh the pale. I mean, it's

333
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: it's off the charts ridiculous and awful. Um. But I

334
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't realize and I didn't

335
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: until you know, you start seeing a play out if

336
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: you if you buy an NFL franchise, you're automatically a

337
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: public figure, whether you've been in business or whatever. And

338
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: however rich you are to buy an NFL most most

339
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: businessmen like that are pretty much anonymous to the general

340
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: public and think about to dinner. Nobody recognizes them. You know,

341
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: they can, you can do whatever they want, and nobody

342
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: really gives them a second glance. But once you buy

343
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: a franchise, everything you do is public knowledge, in public,

344
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: in the public realm, and it just does not fly.

345
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: It does not fly. That. And the NFL is, as

346
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: to their detriment and to their credit, they kind of

347
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: they're out there. I mean, all of this stuff is out.

348
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: They can't they don't, they can't hide it. And they've

349
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: kind of come to the realization that with it, with

350
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: the coaches practicing hiring practices, with the Rooney Rule, with

351
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: everything that goes on the players and the problems they've

352
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: had off the field, and you know ownership, We've seen

353
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: owner teams change hands for less than what's being accused

354
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: of in Washington. It's not going away. Yeah, it's not

355
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: going away. The other owner that's been called into question

356
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: recently is Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. NFL Networks and

357
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: rap Report reported right after the Super Bowl that Stephen

358
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: Ross would face severe discipline up to and including Ross

359
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: losing the team by a vote of fellow owners, according

360
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: to his sources. Commissioner Roger Goodell did hint that was

361
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: a possibility last week at his annual Q and A session, saying, quote,

362
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: if there were violations, they won't be tolerated, and I

363
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: do believe the clubs do have the authority to remove

364
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: an owner from the league. Ross has vehemently denied the

365
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: allegations of his former head coach Brian Flores and his

366
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: class action lawsuit, which indicated that Ross allegedly offered him

367
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars per loss to improve their draft

368
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: choice the following spring when you had quarterbacks in the draft,

369
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: including Joe Burrow and to Outanga Violoa. So he's denied

370
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: the allegations. Rappaport says, even if the league's investigation turns

371
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: up some troubling details, it still might not be enough

372
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: to force a sale. Fans need look no further than

373
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: the owners decades of protection afforded to Washington owner Daniel Snyder.

374
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: Speaking of Flores, he is reportedly adding the Houston Texans

375
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: specifically to his class action lawsuit. He already specifically named

376
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: the Giants, Dolphins, and Broncos, but is now adding the Texans.

377
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: He will reportedly claim that the Texans refusal to hire

378
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: him as head coach this month was retaliation for the

379
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: legal actions he's taken against the NFL. Okay, like, I

380
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: think that was something you probably should have anticipated and

381
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: maybe he did. Um, I don't even know how to

382
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: respond to that part of his class action lawsuit. Yeah,

383
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna con Yeah, it's gonna continue, no question. Um,

384
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll I'm sure it will lead to some changes,

385
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: some modifications in the practice as I'm sure that the

386
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: league will respond to it in a positive way. They

387
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: have no choice. Um, they really don't. And the and

388
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: the numbers are awful, I mean in terms of minority

389
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: and I and I and I think i'd take the

390
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: league as there's this is uh. It comes down to

391
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: human human beings, um, and that's what you're gonna have

392
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: to work on. There are some that have said, and

393
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: we know that the Bills presented this proposal to the

394
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: competition committee last year, wait until after the season is complete,

395
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: then conduct the interview process, so there isn't this race

396
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: and rush to judgment. So because when you're under the

397
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: gun to maybe hire a candidate that you like because

398
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: you got seven other teams also looking for a head coach,

399
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: when you're in that pressure packed environment, you're more likely

400
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: to go with what you know. And as they've talked

401
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: about several times, if you don't have these minority candidates

402
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: even in the room or in the orbit of front

403
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: office people or of owners, they're not familiar to those

404
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: people making the hiring decisions. They don't know them per

405
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: se like they might know other people that are in

406
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 1: their orbit every single day, and they make a decision

407
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: that they feel comfortable with when they're under pressure to

408
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: make it, knowing you've got seven other teams that may

409
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: try to take that guy for I mean, there's you

410
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: can cast analogies all over the place. It's a little

411
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: bit like a coach, and we've said this a ton

412
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: of you. It's almost an axiom. In the NFL and

413
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: in football and maybe other sports all the way down

414
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: through kids youth football, coaches will play guys because they

415
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: know more about them. Even if the other guy may

416
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: have a better upside, the downside isn't there. They know

417
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be in there at least, he's gonna

418
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: be in the right spot all the time, and we're

419
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna be a trusting yeah, I remember. So

420
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: there are plenty of examples of that all over the league.

421
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: They just trust him. So when you get into the

422
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: point where you're gonna do that, as you know, one

423
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: step up in the executive branch of the NFL who

424
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: hires coaches, you're gonna say, well, I know, I know

425
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 1: this guy what he's at and I know I can

426
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: work with him on a regular basis. This other guy, O,

427
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: we're here, I don't have any and we gotta get

428
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: this done. And I'm not sure about that guy because

429
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: I don't know him on a personal level. I haven't

430
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: seen him work day to day. You know, there you

431
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: have it there, that's all it takes. At the highest

432
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: level it's just like hunch. Yeah. So we'll see if

433
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 1: the Competition Committee or the Rules Committee addresses that in

434
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form, whether it's modifications to the

435
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: Rooney Rule or a complete revamping of that, or whether

436
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: they decide to move hiring to the end of the

437
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: season after the Super Bowl, where this is a busy,

438
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: busy week for teams looking for a new head coach.

439
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's ever going to come

440
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: to that, but it's a worthwhile thing to bring up again.

441
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, it makes think, well, how are they gonna

442
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? I mean they Rooney Rule

443
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: says you have to interview a minority candidate for a

444
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: GM and head coaching position and coordinator positions too. Now

445
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: you know what they what they should do say, Not

446
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: only do you have to interview one, you got to

447
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: interview like ten. That would at least get him in

448
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: the habit. Well, I think what they're trying trying to do,

449
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: at least from what it sounds like. I think there

450
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: are proposals to have forums with owners and you know,

451
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: coaches that have been kind of earmarked. Hey, we want

452
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on this guy. He's a fast Riser,

453
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, three or four years from now, he's gonna

454
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: be a primetime head coach whatever. That put them all

455
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: in a conference room together and almost I'm not saying

456
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: like speed dating or anything, but get them all in

457
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: the same room together so they're at least mingling and

458
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: talking and there's some familiarity established. If you're a full

459
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: assistant coach on an NFL squad of you know, in

460
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: your minority, there should be there should be at least

461
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: a handful of events throughout the year where owners are

462
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: there and all these coaches are there, and all the

463
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: assistant gms and the scouts and the director of player personnels,

464
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: director of Pro pro personnels, anybody of that caliber who's

465
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: a mony just be in the same room and hob

466
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, just hob M have a couple of pops,

467
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, watch a couple of games to do something

468
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: so that those they get conversations in front of them,

469
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: they understand where they're coming from. And then forced the

470
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: owners to be at least two of those five or

471
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: three of those five events every owner. So because they

472
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: just don't get a chance to be in that forum

473
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: that often they're in the forum in their own building.

474
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: But not on a league wide basis, and I think

475
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: that's what's one of the things that's missing. Peter King,

476
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: in his Football Morning in America column this week, said

477
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: the Colts. There are reports percolating that the Colts may

478
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: try to trade Carson Wentz, just a year after they

479
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: gave up a first and third round pick to acquire

480
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: him from the Philadelphia Eagles. Peter King wrote, there's something

481
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: bubbling beneath the surface here. Wentz failed down the stretch

482
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: for Indianapolis, but the play itself wasn't bad enough for

483
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: the Colts to give up on the player. His guess,

484
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: and this is just a guess on his part, is

485
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: something happened, something other than the nine and eight record

486
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: that led to this moment where these rumors are percolating. Attitude,

487
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: an incident, work ethic, loss of trust, something, But he

488
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: doesn't know what yet, but he's indicating there's some smoke

489
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: there with these rumored reports. I don't know. I mean,

490
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: every team in the NFL, if they feel they can

491
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: do better at the quarterback position, they're going to pull

492
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: the trigger. The Philadelphia Eagles did it and took a

493
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: thirty seven million dollar cap hit. Still did it. Anyway.

494
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: So if you feel you can do better and you

495
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: have the means to acquire better, they're gonna do it.

496
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: If not, who knows, maybe it gets another year there,

497
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see. Yeah, if there's a

498
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: better option out there, it means your job as a

499
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: GM head coach assistant, GM pro personnel guy to bring

500
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: it to their attention, no question. And I don't know

501
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: that I'd go so far. I don't know if I

502
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: see that. I mean, I'm not just close to the situation,

503
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: even as the I'm making the report is Peter King.

504
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: But I don't necessarily mean that I'm knowing some of

505
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: the things about the guys involved with Like I'm friends

506
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: with Frank Reich, knowing the kind of guy he is

507
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: and the kind of guy he has purported that Carson

508
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: Wentz is. I've talked to Frank about Carson. Yeah, loves

509
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: the guy. I mean, he's just and there's a lot

510
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: of mutual respect there. I don't think there would be

511
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: some sort of catastrophic event that would say, Okay, that's it,

512
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this, We're gonna take the hit, some

513
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: sort of slow evolving realization of like there is a

514
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: shortcoming in his game that we got to fix, and

515
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: we don't know that we can. We don't think we

516
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: can fix it. Maybe like that's the thing. Maybe they can't.

517
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: Maybe there was a meeting they decided that, yeah, this

518
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. I don't think there was some sort

519
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: of behavioral issue or something on the field, or you know,

520
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: when this work ethic are gonna workout, or some assistant

521
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: coach saying hey whatever. I just think it was a

522
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: realization and they came to a decision that they were

523
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: to make a move. I don't think that there was

524
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: a singular event that make that happen. That would be

525
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: smoking gun kind. We do remember Chris Ballard at the

526
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: end of their season saying, I kept telling Carson Wentz,

527
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: make the layups, make the layups. Make the layups. So

528
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: that's about as far as he went in terms of,

529
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, a part of his game that has to

530
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: be correct. He had the same conversations about Josh. That's

531
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: one of the things that he took another step in

532
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: this year wasn't in his you know, the offense evolved

533
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: from a year ago, but from twenty twenty when he

534
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: had the bust out almost MVP season to this year.

535
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: That was a difference in his game was taking the

536
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: easy ones. And there's there's a subtle difference, and it

537
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: has ripple effects that you know, you sometimes don't revert

538
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: back to say no, that's the difference. But I think

539
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that made him a better

540
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: quarterback this year. It kept him on the field a

541
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: little more often, and they were able to put together

542
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: seventeen play drives took for scores that maybe they didn't

543
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: do that so well a year ago. But this, you know,

544
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: when GM is sitting there and he hammered and on

545
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: this guy, do this, do this, do this, do this,

546
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: and it never happens, never happens, never happens, never happens.

547
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: You can see GM's going, you know, I'm just gonna

548
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm detonating this. This is I'm not you know, it's wild.

549
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: Ekayoloity dropped the plunger time on. You just hope that

550
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: you just hope the other end of the wire blows up,

551
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: not the one right seeing that at a time or

552
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: two Twitter conversation today. As Steve mentioned earlier, the Chiefs

553
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: have the best odds to be back in the Super

554
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: Bowl next year. Second best odds go to the Bills.

555
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: With that in mind, we're asking you today, besides the Chiefs,

556
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: which team is the most viable threat to the Bills

557
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: in the AFC, And why we gave you some choices Ravens, Bengals,

558
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Chargers or some other team in the AFC relatively balanced

559
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: pull thus far, although the Chargers are out in front

560
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: with forty one percent of the vote. You can jump

561
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: on board at eight oh three fifty one, eight eight

562
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: five fifty two, five fifty. Let us know which team

563
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: you field could be the most viable threat in the

564
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: AFC to the Bills besides the Chiefs, and let us

565
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 1: know why open lines for you eight oh three oh

566
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: five fifty or hit us up on the tweet sheet.

567
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna be turning to that tweet sheet when we

568
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: return here on one Bills Live presented by Kello to Health,

569
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Besides the Chiefs, which team is

570
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: the most viable threat to the Bills in the AFC

571
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two? And why choices are there for

572
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: you on the Twitter page at one Bills Live so

573
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: you can chime in there or you can give us

574
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: a call. Eight O three oh five fifty right now, Bengals, Chargers,

575
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: Ravens are the choices along with Other if you believe

576
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: it somebody else. Chargers leading the voting right now with

577
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: about more than forty percent of the vote. Bengals second

578
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 1: at twenty five point four, followed by Other and the Ravens.

579
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: So let's go to the tweet sheet, though, which is

580
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: brought to you, as always by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

581
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Zach says,

582
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: we've seen what the Bills can do when they're firing

583
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: on all cylinders. They're nearly unstoppable. The only team that's

584
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: a threat to the Bills is the Bills losses in

585
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: close games due to poor decision making, losing the teams

586
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: they should have easily beat, like the Jaguars, etc. Do

587
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: you think the Bills are the biggest threat to the Bills. Yeah,

588
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the problem. I mean, yeah, there's no

589
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: question about it. At the end of the season, there's

590
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: nobody who's going to beat them, unless, you know, unless

591
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: they beat themselves, made a mistake whatever. Now, certainly the

592
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs have got an offense that is every bit that

593
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, and in some ways maybe better

594
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: of speed wise that kind of thing, but tactically, both

595
00:33:54,320 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: these teams were, you know, unstoppable, So they're there is

596
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: something to be said that, you know, the Bills are

597
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: their own worst enemy. I would say that if you're gonna,

598
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make that statement, the Bills are their

599
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: own worst enemy. It comes down to it comes down

600
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be this team, is not going to

601
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: be the same team coming up. They're not gonna be

602
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: this Bills team. They're gonna be a different Bills team

603
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: next year. And you and I, yeah, they're not the

604
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: only team that can say that when you play mistake

605
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: free football, you're always hard to beat. The Titans have

606
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: and as we see in some of these other tweets,

607
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: the Titans are a team that people are looking at saying, well,

608
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: those guys have got our number. You can't count on

609
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: playing mistake free. If you do, you expect to win.

610
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: That's every team in the league. So the Bills are,

611
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, like that, but I think their upper end

612
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: is more than what most people see, and most other

613
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: teams can can put out there. But every team expects

614
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: to win if they don't if they play mistake free.

615
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: The question is in a long season, can you win

616
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: when you play cruddy? The Bills didn't do that enough

617
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: this year. They won some games, didn't play great, but

618
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: they played bad in a couple of games, and you

619
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: couldn't win and it ended up they had to go

620
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: on the road for the playoffs. So can you win

621
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: when you play crappy in an eighteen game or seventeen

622
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: games schedule, Because that's what it is. You can't play

623
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: great for seventeen weeks. You just can't do it. And

624
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: even teams that think they can, all of a sudden,

625
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: they hit a wall in week fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,

626
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: and they can't keep it up and they and now

627
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: they're one and done. Tennessee Titans are a good example

628
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: of that. People were counting them out and they kept

629
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: playing good, grinding out, grinding out victories, doing all that.

630
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: You can't play great for seventeen weeks, but you got

631
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: to be able to win in games when you play.

632
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: The Bills couldn't do that this year, could not, And

633
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: you know, to a man, a lot of that that's

634
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: what a lot of the players said, you know, in

635
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: their season wrap up press conference is saying the thing

636
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: we learned is we got to win those games so

637
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: we can have the playoffs run through Buffalo and nowhere else.

638
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: I mean, Patrick Mahomes still has not played a road

639
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: playoff game. He's played a neutral side game the Super Bowl. Well,

640
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 1: you could argue last year he played in the road

641
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: game because Tampa was home for the Super Bowl, but

642
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, he lost it. The Chiefs

643
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: have had home field advantage since Patrick Mahomes has started

644
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: playing playoff football. He's never played on the road in

645
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: his entire career in the playoffs. It makes a difference.

646
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't by accident. They went to three

647
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: straight AFC title games or four. What am I saying?

648
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: I went to four straight AFC title games? So yeah,

649
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of what you're looking at. You know,

650
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: when your games in the regular season, don't cough up

651
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville game, so you can don't slip and fall

652
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and don't you know, don't drop a fourteen

653
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: to ten saying run the table. Just have the best

654
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: record in the conference. Yeah, you gotta do it better

655
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: than anybody else. And also I think The one thing

656
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: they did this year that I think, even though they

657
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: got out of the playoffs and around earlier than they

658
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: did a year ago, I think the thing they did

659
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: better this year man they were they peaked right when

660
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: they needed to peak. Man, they and they were healthy.

661
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: To give Sean McDermott credit, they had all their guys

662
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 1: and they were humming when the season ended, the playoffs began,

663
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: they were this team was meant accelerating and they paced

664
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: some of their best players through the course of the season. Well,

665
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: they didn't overtax them, so they were at maximum capacity

666
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: in the postseason as well. And yeah, it was part

667
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: and parcel while they were playing some of their best

668
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 1: football at the end of the year when it counted

669
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: the most, you really yeah, you get really gonna and

670
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: if there's one thing, and you know, nobody does anything

671
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: perfect but man old man, I think Sean McDermott has

672
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: That's one of been one of the things that he's

673
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: been that has been the hallmark of his coaching tenure,

674
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: his ability to get his guys onto the field healthy

675
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: and get them practicing and keep them fresh throughout the

676
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: season so that they can so they can be all

677
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: guns blazing Now, certainly COVID through a big monkey wrench

678
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: into all that at times, but man, oh man, he

679
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: this team has done a better job of that than

680
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: anybody in the NFL during Sean mcdermot's tenure as head coach,

681
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: making when they needed those guys, they were on the

682
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: field and ready to go, and they did it in

683
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: spite of COVID. And even even in the COVID year

684
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: when he got to the he finally got to the postseason,

685
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: they were good. But you know, Diggs had the oblique

686
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley's got the busted leg. Even even in that,

687
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: when those guys were actually on the field playing, they

688
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: learned something from that. And the next year and you know,

689
00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: both those guys are walking out of here healthy, ready

690
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: for that division round. Yeah. Bill Victory on the tweet

691
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: sheet says, it's the Titans that seem to be a

692
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: thorn in the Bill's side. I know we keep trying

693
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: to kick dirt on the Titans and they refuse to

694
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: go away. To me, I don't ever see them getting

695
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: over the hump, not as long as Tannehill's the quarterback

696
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: and Mike Vrabel has already said they're committed to him.

697
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: For next year, and I think some of the cap

698
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: implications are one of the main reasons why not to

699
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: mention the fact they haven't found a better answer in

700
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: this year's draft class doesn't seem to offer any sure

701
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: fire candidates either. But now it's not that it's not

702
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: that anything is off the table. And we're seeing now

703
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: in this point in history in the NFL, a lot

704
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: of really good quarterbacks are changing teams every offseason. It's

705
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: unprecedented in the in the history of the league where

706
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: you've seen so many good quarterbacks changed teams in a

707
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: season and every season. So it's nothing to say that

708
00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans can't, you know, skip you know, skip

709
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: what they said about Ryan Tannehill and just say, you

710
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: know what, thanks Ryan, We're gonna do something different. Now

711
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,479
Speaker 1: the CAT may preclude them from doing that as well, sure,

712
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 1: but anything can happen. And I'll say this, they were

713
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: good without Derrick Henry this year. Now they're really good

714
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: with him, obviously, we all know that. But without him

715
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 1: they were six and two, and they were good when

716
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: he came back as well. So Verbel Coach of the Year. Yeah,

717
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: and I agree with that. I would yeah, second that

718
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: he deserved it. For the season they put together. JT

719
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: on the tweed sheet says, I go with other I

720
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: say nobody, not even the Chiefs are the biggest threat

721
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: to the Bills. If the Bills would have won the toss,

722
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: we win that game. Josh was on fire. Also, at

723
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: the rate the Bills were putting up points for most

724
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: of the season, I say they would have smoked the Rams.

725
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: Or since he in the Super Bowl, we will be

726
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: back with a vengeance. Well, it's hard to be hard

727
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: to argue with that sentiment. We'll see. I take it

728
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: from a guy who's been it's hard to get back. Man.

729
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: They got a long way to go and a lot

730
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: of questions to be answered. Even a team like Buffalo,

731
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: who's got that guy and a couple of other guys,

732
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: they got a lot of questions to answer, just like

733
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: the Rams have got, just like Cincinnati Bengals have got

734
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. There's a lot of football and a lot

735
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: of decisions that have to be made in the offseason

736
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 1: before any of these teams can even start thinking about

737
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: getting back to the playoffs. And right now it's silent

738
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: on that front because it's that time of year. We're

739
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: fresh off the Super Bowl. But man, they got they

740
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 1: got the scouting Combine. Did you tell everybody we're gonna

741
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: be there? I did not tell anybody yet. Tell me, well,

742
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: you're just we're gonna be at the combine, Brownie and

743
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: I one Bill's lives going to the combine this year.

744
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: Next weekend or weekend after March first, second, third, and

745
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: fourth Tuesday through Friday of the combine, we're gonna be there.

746
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: And you know, think of you know, the calendar and

747
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: what we have to sit through waiting on this draft

748
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: and the combine and who we got, why we got,

749
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: and what do we need and who's going to be available?

750
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: And free agency's coming up before all of that, And

751
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: I think free agency's gonna be as much fun this

752
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: year as it has ever been for this team. You

753
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: got a ton of guys that are that are out

754
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: there off this team, and you got a ton of

755
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: guys that are coming available from other teams. And one

756
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: of the rare points in history where this franchise can

757
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: sit here and say, you know what, we're a pretty

758
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: good destination for some of these guys if they want

759
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: to take a shot at the ring getting a championship.

760
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: This is where some of them might say, you know what,

761
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: that's the place, yeah, and that's that does not happen

762
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: very often. We have to take a break here, but

763
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: when we come back, we will continue the conversation with you.

764
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: Eight three five fifty number to get on board. Steve

765
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: and I back in a moment here on one Bill's

766
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,959
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kellid to health It's Buffalo Bill's Radio,

767
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: all right. So naturally everybody was watching the super Bowl

768
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: on Sunday, there was another NFL related world record Steve established,

769
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about the television ratings for the

770
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So the people that make Madden, the NFL

771
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: video game, right, they teamed up with some real life

772
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: NFL players to break a Guinness World Record by projecting

773
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: an addition of the game projected on the side of

774
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: a Las Vegas hotel. So Guinness World Record said, EA

775
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: Sports constructed an additional area on the top of the

776
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: Tropicana Hotels Club tower so the projection screen could be

777
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: expanded to a new world record of forty seven thousand,

778
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: three hundred thirty seven square feet put it on the

779
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: entire side of the hotel. So then they had Chargers

780
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: safety Derwin James and Brown's running back Nick Chubb play

781
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: against one another head to head, and then that was

782
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 1: followed by Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Michael Parsons and Vikings

783
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: wide receiver Justin Jefferson. So those guys played a Pro

784
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 1: Bowl version of the game. AFC, NFC and our MSG

785
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: viewers are looking at the projection on the hotel of

786
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: the Maddened video game as it was being played. Good Night. Yeah,

787
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: So forty seven thousand in three hundred thirty seven square

788
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: feet the video game projected onto the side of the

789
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Hotel UM set a new Guinness World record.

790
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: You gonna have to find a bigger building if you

791
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: that's pretty kid to top that. I want to know

792
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: where the projector is, Like how far away does it

793
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: have to be? I mean, is it is it on

794
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: another building across the street? Like how do you square

795
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: that up? You know, that's like the bat signal, that thing.

796
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's bigger than that. It's got to be

797
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: like a big spotlight kind of. It's huge. Oh well,

798
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: forty seven thousand square feet. I mean, the characters in

799
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: the game are definitely bigger than life size. They're like

800
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: four stories another like eight stories tall, like Godzilla on

801
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: the side of a building or something. So, yeah, they

802
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: played a couple of games. I don't know if I'd

803
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: be able to I guess i'd be able to play it. Okay,

804
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: the windows on the hotel might be a little distracting

805
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: that the surface is not quite smooth. Yeah, you know,

806
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: it's got yeah, but it's still I mean it's so

807
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear. I mean you could see what you're doing.

808
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're reading the down and distance

809
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: and stuff like that up at the top because with

810
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: all those windows kind of blacken out portions of the

811
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: screen be a little tricky, but they pulled it off.

812
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's right on the strip there. Yeah. So

813
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: new Guinness World Record. They had a Guinness a judicator

814
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: was on the scene to confirm the game set a

815
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: new world record for the largest projected video game display.

816
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: The previous record of forty six thousand, seven hundred thirty

817
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: three square feet was set just last August when a

818
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: game of I Hope I get this right Garena Free

819
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: Fire was projected on another Las Vegas buildings. So apparently

820
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: this isn't the first time this has been done in Vegas.

821
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 1: So there you go. Um, I don't know who takes

822
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: the time to think about this. You know, like they

823
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: have giant screens nowadays, all of these e game tournaments

824
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 1: they put them on these giant screens and arenas. Now

825
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: playing the game on the big board, if you will.

826
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: I guess that's not big enough. They gotta take it

827
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 1: a step further. We're on the side of a bill.

828
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: Where were the guys sitting, That's what I want to

829
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: Where is Nick Chubb? And uh? Who did he play? Again?

830
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: He was playing against Derwin James. Where are those two

831
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: guys sitting to play the game? Are they across the street,

832
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: like sitting on a balcony somewhere? They're like three miles away?

833
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: I guess something like that. No, I don't know. They

834
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: gotta be connected to the projector obviously, because the gaming

835
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: system has to be hooked up, and they have to

836
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: be I mean, even if they're wireless controllers, they got

837
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: to be within fifteen twenty feet of that Madden A judicator.

838
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: That's like you gotta wear white gloves, you know. Do

839
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: you ever see the movie John got judicators in that?

840
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm sure the universe they've got Yeah, So

841
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: all right, So new world record for Madden. Good for them.

842
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: Then maybe they were motived by John Mannen's passing, who

843
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: just passed away late last year at the age of

844
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: eighty five. Maybe trying to do right by him with

845
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: a new world record there, So good on them for that.

846
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here. When we come back,

847
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: we will continue our conversation as to who you think

848
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 1: is the most viable threat in the AFC come twenty

849
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: twenty two for the bills. Besides the Chiefs, you've got

850
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: another candidate, let us know. At eight oh three, five

851
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: fifty Steve and I back in a second for hour

852
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 1: number two here on one Bills Live presented by Klaida Health.

853
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio at a Steve Tasker who has

854
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was

855
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for you. Stately Steve

856
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: a blimp. We're not even in the strategyre of normalcy here,

857
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: all right, Here we are our number two on a Tuesday,

858
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and we're discussing the

859
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: most viable threats to the bills in twenty twenty two

860
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: in the AFC. Not name the Chiefs. Let us know

861
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: if you've got a candidate. We do have a poll

862
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: out for you at one Bills Live on Twitter, so

863
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: feel free to chime in there. Otherwise, give us a call.

864
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: Got an open line for you at eight oh three,

865
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty

866
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: And we go to the phones now waiting for us

867
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: there Kevin in Hamburg, Kevin, what do you have for us?

868
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: Go ahead? There's so much parody, but you know they

869
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: always see like in sports, like any sports, especially boxing,

870
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: in two of the champion gets knocked out, there's still

871
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: a champion. There's still deserved benefit of the doubt. Sure,

872
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: so the Bengals did beat the Chiefs who beat us

873
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: even over the close game, and until someone spanks them out,

874
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: they're still gotting and with so much parody. And another

875
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,959
Speaker 1: thing is, think about this one. If Aaron Rodgers, mister

876
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: drama King, goes to his buddy Nate Hacking in Denver,

877
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: that could change the whole you know thing. If he

878
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: goes with his buddy and gets out of Greenmakers, they're

879
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: not going to trade him with someone in their own conference.

880
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: They even Siddy wouldn't, So you don't know. And the

881
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: Titans are, or what if King Henry don't get hurt

882
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: this year and does like he didn't do that out

883
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: the nineteen you know, when he knocked out the Patriots

884
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: and Brady for the last time with Brady. So I

885
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: get all that. Kevin, you're right, and you make good points,

886
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 1: but the simple fact of matters whenever you start saying

887
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: what if, what if, what if? And there's a lot

888
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: of what ifs that could go way in the favor

889
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: of everybody else rather than the teams you said, like

890
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: what if Joe Burrow snaps his ankle game one of

891
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: the preseason, what if Derrick Henry something happens and he

892
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: doesn't play at all, and what if You know all

893
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: of this stuff, so you know, the question is which

894
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: team is poised with fewer things going differently or wrong,

895
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: to be good again, and certainly the Bengals fall into

896
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: that category. I think the Bengals will be good next year.

897
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: I do not think the San Diego Chargers will be

898
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: I do and I don't think that the Bengals will

899
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: defend their title. I don't think they're going back to

900
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,919
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl in any way, shape or form, although

901
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 1: they're they're set up to be good. They got a

902
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: lot of cheap rookie contracts. I hear all of that.

903
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: They also have the fourth most cat money to spend.

904
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: I have seen this movie before, and the Bengals do

905
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: never write a good ending. So the fact that this

906
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: game went against him, this last offseason, this last week

907
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, I've seen it happen too many

908
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: times to think they're gonna do something different this year

909
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: than they've done, or there are other Super Bowl run

910
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: put it on the white board. I will. Yeah, let's

911
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones. We go to Anthony

912
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: and Buffalo next, but do yeah first Anthony, Hey, guys, Steve,

913
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: I actually met you at Jim Kelly football camp back

914
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: in two thousand or oh one. You signed this commemorative

915
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: football for us, you and Jim. I still have it

916
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: prominently displayed in my father's house, So that's really cool.

917
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Um. I gotta let you guys know,

918
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: I hope that did. You guys, maybe give us some

919
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: points to be fired up about for next year, because

920
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: some of us, like myself, I'm still in so much

921
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: pain still. Harry went away over Pro Bowl weekend and

922
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: came rushing back on Sunday. I'm in a lot of

923
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: pain still over this season, a lot of fun and

924
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 1: a lot of anti in there. But to answer your question,

925
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: I gotta say, the rest of the ascd's collectively. I

926
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: think that's that's the baseline for how you do without

927
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: or throughout the rest of the season. As long as

928
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: we can keep our divisional and check, I think it

929
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: will be good. Right. I think that'll certainly get you in.

930
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: And I don't even think we're debating that, Anthony. I

931
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: think what we're debating is who's the threat to knock

932
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: you off once you get to the playoffs? As things

933
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: are shaping up and I realize we've got a long

934
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: way to go here in the off season. A lot

935
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: of these rosters are going to change pretty dramatically between

936
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: now in September with free agency in the draft. But

937
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: who's got a good core intact that probably isn't changing

938
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 1: anytime soon. Who's got some maybe young talent that's ready

939
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: to break out and raise the profile of a team

940
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: that's all ready good. You know a lot of people

941
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: are on the Chargers here in the poll today, and

942
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: I get why. You know, Herbert looks like the real deal.

943
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: One of the most accurate throwers of the football in

944
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: my estimation, and I think he's the closest thing to

945
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the league. Lamar Jackson runs better than Josh,

946
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: but he's not a total package quarterback. You know, Patrick

947
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes is kind of in his own class. And then

948
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: you have Josh Herbert's right behind him, because I think

949
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: Herbert's still underestimated for his athletic ability. Now I'm not

950
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: saying he's quite the quarterback Josh is, but he's not

951
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: far off, um, and he could raise the profile of

952
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: that team potentially. And I'll say this, Yeah, the AFC

953
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 1: East is a big threat to the Bills because they get,

954
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,439
Speaker 1: you know, six shots at them. Um, three different teams

955
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: get six shots overall at the Bills and taking them

956
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: out of that division crown which gets them to the playoffs.

957
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: And I certainly hear that. But you know, you're talking

958
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: about the Bengals who are in the same division with

959
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 1: the Steelers, VENs, with the Ravens and the Browns. Um,

960
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: that's a tough division to win as well. And you

961
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: know you look at these other teams when the and

962
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: the gauntlet they have to run. Now, certainly the Bills

963
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: have got a tough schedule next year. They got to

964
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: play that AFC North. They're playing them, uh next year,

965
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: and they're also playing the NC NFC North. So for me,

966
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: you can make that call about, you know, a couple

967
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: of teams that are you know, you thinking about maybe

968
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 1: not having if the Bills getting back in the Bill's

969
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: division being their biggest rival. I think the same thing

970
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: is with the Bengals. Yeah, and their crossover games are

971
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Rams. Yeah, the Bills have got

972
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,919
Speaker 1: are up against it. Now, you know, you can say

973
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: what you want. The Rams will be. It'll be interesting

974
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: to see them handling off season where they're the champions

975
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: in LA and come back with a hunger and a fire.

976
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: They could look dramatically different too, so could the and

977
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals will look should look pretty different, at least

978
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: offensive on their offensive line. They'll look different Chicago and Detroit.

979
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: That kind of counterbalances the Chiefs and the Rams. To me,

980
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: that's a week set stretching your schedule right there. So

981
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 1: I and I don't think the Steelers are gonna stay down.

982
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: I well, if they can get themselves a quarterback, I

983
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: told you, I'm telling you again, I think Aaron Rodgers

984
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: has his crosshairs on the Steelers. This stuff you hear

985
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: about Nate Hackett. Do you really think Aaron Rodgers and

986
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: what we know about Aaron Rodgers and I just know

987
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: what everybody else knows. I don't like have any insight

988
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: information Chris telling me one coach on one other team

989
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:16,439
Speaker 1: that he's worked with is gonna out impress him with

990
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: We'll say, let's just go big. Let's say there's eight

991
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,439
Speaker 1: teams that have the money, the draft picks and all

992
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: that other stuff to trade for him. Of the eight

993
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: other teams, Nate Hackett and the Denver Broncos are going

994
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: to be the ones that impress Rogers to say, you

995
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: know what, that's my spot. I think the biggest deterrent

996
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: are going to Denver is Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and

997
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: Derek Carr all being in the same division as you.

998
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: If you go to the AFC West, to me, that

999
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: doesn't enhance your chances of improving your football legacy by

1000
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: getting to the playoffs and winning in the playoffs when

1001
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: you're playing those two teams six times in the season,

1002
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that's quarterback suicide. Even if you are

1003
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Now, why wouldn't you stay in the NFC North?

1004
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: Who else they got up there? I think he may

1005
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: there may be some of that, but that's nothing's gonna that.

1006
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 1: Those guys aren't gonna tell dictate where I go. Um,

1007
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: there's a scenario where you say, you'll welcome it. Lets

1008
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's he's going to the Hall of Fame

1009
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: once he got to prove. Let me go in here

1010
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: and show these guys. You know, I just think, uh,

1011
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: the only that's exactly right. Do you think the Denver

1012
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: Broncos are your chant best chance to win a Super Bowl? Maybe?

1013
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: I think the Pittsburgh teams were the heritage like they

1014
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: have in a coach like they have, in a defense

1015
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: like they have. They still have primetime defensive players. I mean,

1016
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: it's likeing t J. Watt Um, those are the those

1017
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 1: are the teams. You gotta look at t J. Watt

1018
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: Cameron Heyward Manca Fitzpatrick, the linebacker kid. I always mix

1019
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: up with the with Devin White and Tampa Um the

1020
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: middle linebacker they got hurt. Anyway, He's a top five

1021
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: picks where they have primetime defensive players and they have

1022
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: young receivers that can make plays. You drop a quarterback

1023
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: in there that's worth his salt. I mean, they're right

1024
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: back in the hunt for that division. As far as

1025
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, the Steelers are a prime candidate. They got

1026
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: a ton of cap space, and they got this. They

1027
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: got a head coach that is I think an impressive

1028
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: guy for a lot of players that want to play

1029
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: for him. The expectations are there. Now. You look at

1030
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: other teams that are around, you think Aaron Rodgers is

1031
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: gonna PLoP down in like what Houston Texans. Devin Bush

1032
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:31,919
Speaker 1: is the linebacker, you know, you think he's gonna drop

1033
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: down in the Houston Texans or the any other team

1034
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: that's maybe out there that it might have a shot

1035
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 1: or a slot open at quarterback. You could see him maybe,

1036
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: And he's not gonna go now, He's not gonna go

1037
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: to the New Orleans Saints, you know, not with Sean Payton.

1038
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: Some of the out of the picture Tampa Bay parachute

1039
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: in to take Tom Brady's place could happen, you can

1040
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: see it. But but the Packers have said they're not

1041
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: sending him to an NFC team. They'd be foolish to

1042
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: do that. They're gonna see him again. If they do that,

1043
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: that'd be like trading him to the fight to the

1044
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: playoffs themselves. I don't know if they are with you,

1045
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: are in love well, I don't think they know either

1046
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: that or do you see it like this? Do the

1047
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: do the packers say, all right, you know what you

1048
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: want to chance to the super Bowl? How about this,

1049
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: We'll trade you to the Tennessee Titans with that coach.

1050
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: We'll take Derrick Henry in return with a number one

1051
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. They can get a commensurate and and Ryan

1052
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: Tannehill even you know what I mean to get a

1053
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: guy that's serviceable back in return in case Jordan's love

1054
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: goes belly up, so you know, you can you can

1055
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: picture it all. But it's I think you're right. It's

1056
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna be an AFC team. I think the front runner's

1057
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 1: got to be Pittsburgh because of the head coach and

1058
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: the and the what they have in place, Like Nate

1059
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: Hackett is not going to lure Paron Rodgers. Come on,

1060
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. Somebody to come on back to

1061
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: the phones though, And we go to Dave in Florida. Next,

1062
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: What do you got first? Dave here, on One Bill's Live. Right,

1063
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: how you doing today, fellas good? All right, I'm thinking

1064
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think. I think we can

1065
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: we don't flop, but Tennessee at home, Baltimore's gonna give

1066
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: us a hard time, and believe it or not, we

1067
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: can't forget about New England. And those are my picks,

1068
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: all right, I respect that. I think Baltimore is kind

1069
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: of in the weeds team. Um, yeah, I think you

1070
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: know they were. They were beset with injuries from before

1071
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: the season even started and it never stopped throughout the season.

1072
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: They just kept having problem after probably I didn't have

1073
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: any running backs for the first month of the season.

1074
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: Then Lamar gets hurt twice, also misses a game because

1075
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: of COVID for the second year in a row. Um,

1076
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: and they had probably and their defense fell apart. And

1077
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: you can see from the we've got twelve different opponents

1078
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna play, and six of them are playoff teams

1079
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: from a year ago. Six of them these are of

1080
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: the yeah, six of them, yeah, because none of the

1081
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: other division teams made it to the playoffs from the

1082
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: AFC East. So it's the Packers, Steelers, Titans, Bengals, Rams, Chiefs.

1083
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: All those teams in the playoffs. Six of the ten

1084
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: out of division opponents are in the We're in the

1085
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: playoffs either in the NFC or the AFC last year,

1086
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: so it's it's a tough schedule. I think the Ravens

1087
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: will pounce back this year. The big question about them

1088
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: is can they fix their defense because they got a

1089
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator now and they're gonna have some turnover

1090
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. Really, Baltimore's defense just

1091
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: has to get healthy, particularly on the back end, because

1092
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: they lost I think two of their top three corners

1093
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: for the years season ending. Here's the droblem with the

1094
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. They remind and a little bit of this.

1095
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: They think, well, if we can just get our healthy

1096
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: guys healthy, will be all right. Well, you know what,

1097
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: there's no guarantees that if you were all healthy last year,

1098
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna good to me. You have no idea what

1099
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: you would have been last year. Their passing game has

1100
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: another step. You can say this and that and the

1101
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: other about what could have been, but it wasn't and

1102
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: you don't know that it actually would have been. You

1103
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: don't know. Nobody None of those games took place with

1104
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: all your guys healthy, so they're they're trying to get

1105
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: back to where they were at the beginning of last season.

1106
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: Now everybody else has moved past that. You gotta you

1107
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: can't just come back and say, oh, we're gonna try

1108
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: and get our guys healthy. Now. You gotta get better.

1109
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: You gotta get better players, you gotta get better schemes.

1110
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: You gotta install a new defense, get a new coaching staff.

1111
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens have a lot of stuff to get done,

1112
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and their passing game still has to take the next step.

1113
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: It can't be Mark Andrews and checkdown passes, you know.

1114
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean their whole offense goes through their tight end.

1115
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,439
Speaker 1: And believe me, he's a great tight end, but him

1116
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: and check him down to the backs is not a

1117
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: recipe for success long term, not in this league. With

1118
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: the way they play football. I don't care what's how

1119
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: great a runner Lamar Jackson is. You're not gonna get

1120
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: to the promise Land playing offensive football like that. It's

1121
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: got to morph and change into something bigger and better

1122
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: than what it's been. And that that's on Lamar to

1123
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: be a better and more accurate passer. And a better

1124
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: decision maker. And it's on the receivers to come up

1125
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: bigger than they have the last couple of years, because,

1126
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: like I said, it's been Mark Andrews first and foremost.

1127
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: And you know Andrews is right up there with Kelsey.

1128
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: He is that productive. But there's got to be other

1129
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: weapons in the in the that are factory into that offense.

1130
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: You can win with a running team. The Tennessee Titans

1131
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: were the one seed this year coming into the AFC playoffs.

1132
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Now they were one and done. Okay, what's that say?

1133
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't it says also Baltimore Ravens when Baltimore, when

1134
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore had Lamar as the MVP, in that running type

1135
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: of fourteen and two, they were one and they were

1136
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,919
Speaker 1: one and done. Yeah. All I'm saying is this, Yeah,

1137
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: you can win games with a running team in it,

1138
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: but it has to be a perfect storm and good teams,

1139
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: particularly in a league that is structured with its rules

1140
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: and its interpretation of those rules, how it's called on

1141
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: the field, how the officials officiate every game. The league

1142
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: is built to be a throwing league, and when you

1143
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: come in there as a running team, you're fitting a

1144
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,920
Speaker 1: square peg into a round hole in my opinion, and

1145
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: it just doesn't quite fit. You can win games like that,

1146
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: particularly in the regular season, but when the playoffs come around,

1147
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: ultimately you got to have a guy that can stand

1148
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: in the pocket behind an offensive line and make throws. Look,

1149
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: look at the Bills, look at the Chiefs, look at

1150
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,959
Speaker 1: the Rams, look at the Bengals, look at all these

1151
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: teams that were right there at the end. That's what

1152
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: the game looks like. And there's reasons for that. It's

1153
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: because of the rules and the structure of the game,

1154
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: the way the officials call it. So I see, you can,

1155
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, you can have a nice team put together,

1156
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: but ultimately, sooner or later, you're gonna have to have

1157
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: a guy to make throws. Yeah, let's go back to

1158
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: the phones and we'll go to Mark in Stockton next, Mark,

1159
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's life. Hi, guys, Um,

1160
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: First of all, I think the biggest threat to the

1161
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Bills is the Bills themselves. Yeah, you're not the first

1162
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: one to say that. Yeah what else, Mark? What else

1163
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: you got? Mark? Well? The thing is, you know, uh,

1164
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, they got to play lights out, gotta make

1165
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: stop sound defense, like the Bengals did during the AFC

1166
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: Championship game. They stopped Glad, they stopped the Kansas City Chiefs.

1167
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: We're going to fourth straight and break the Bills record. Yeah,

1168
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: and that's the thing. And you're not, like I said,

1169
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: You're not alone in your sentiments there, Mark, And thanks

1170
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: for the call. Yeah, I mean, sometimes the Bills were

1171
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: their own worst enemy. Well, I think everybody will readily

1172
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: admit that, but I think we also have to be

1173
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: prepared for the fact that everybody's trying to get better.

1174
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: You know, the Bills are too. Brandon being to his credit, said,

1175
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, we don't only look at what took place

1176
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: and how we can get better from that. We also

1177
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: asked the question what's next? Where is the league going next?

1178
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: And let's make sure we're one of the first teams

1179
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: there whatever that trend or thing is. I mean, we

1180
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: saw Brian Dable make heavy use of six offensive linemen

1181
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season on the offensive

1182
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and it worked very well in

1183
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: establishing a more respectable run game. And you know another

1184
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: team that did that midseason Bengals. The Rams did it.

1185
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: The Rams and the Bengals both the Bengals did it

1186
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl on the weekend. The Rams spent

1187
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 1: nine hours of their bye week in week ten, the

1188
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: whole offensive staff nine hours completely revamping their offensive scheme

1189
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: to accommodate the additions they had made obj. How are

1190
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: we going to utilize him? You know, we don't have

1191
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: Robert Woods anymore. We have this guy. We have that guy.

1192
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: Here's our tight end contingent. Now after that injury, they

1193
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: re vamped the whole thing in the middle of the season.

1194
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's kind of what coaches have to

1195
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: do nowadays to stay in front of it. So so

1196
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: what's the next thing? This is the kind those are

1197
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: the kinds of conversations that the Bills and other teams

1198
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: are having in their coaching meetings right now in the

1199
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: off season. Yeah, and you got to kind of get

1200
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: out ahead of it as well. And it's there's a

1201
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts obviously, and every year is going

1202
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: to be different. We talk about it a lot on

1203
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: this show about how this roster has to change because

1204
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: you got sixteen free ag he's not gonna sign all

1205
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: of them back. Maybe if you signed ten or twelve

1206
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: of them, if you signed the wrong three if you

1207
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: don't sign three of them back, those three guys make

1208
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 1: a difference because the replacements are completely different guys, different

1209
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: skill sets and as a as a coordinator and Ken

1210
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: Dorsey's gonna have to get on top of this, and

1211
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: hey will even even the same players evolve through over

1212
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: over and off season. When they come back, they're not

1213
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: quite the same. They don't fit quite the same there.

1214
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, they they're better here. So let's try and

1215
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: exploit that that growth that they had in the off

1216
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: season where like a Devin Singletary came back this last

1217
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: year a completely different body type than he was years past.

1218
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinators and defensive coordinators they bring these guys back

1219
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: in the off season and they say, oh wow, this

1220
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: guy really looks good here there. And then you put

1221
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: them on the field and called defenses that allow the

1222
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: most guys on that defense of the eleven you got

1223
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: out there to do exactly what they do their very best.

1224
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the that's the puzzle you have to

1225
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: put together. Put them in a place that asked them

1226
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: to do what they do their very best, same thing offensively,

1227
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a it's a hard puzzle to

1228
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:46,639
Speaker 1: put together because all eleven guys are ever changing. They're

1229
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: ever one week they're healthy, the next week they're not,

1230
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: and they can't play like they usually do. So you

1231
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: got to take that into account in your play selections.

1232
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: It's and you put that wrap that around it an

1233
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: entire league and it forms trends that go into the future,

1234
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: and the bill's got to stay out on in front

1235
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: of it. Are people gonna go more four wide? Now?

1236
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Is that where the league's headed? Because teams don't have

1237
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: enough dbs to keep up, and sooner or later you

1238
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: do snap off a big, big play even if they

1239
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: do have cover two out there. You know, if you

1240
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 1: go if you go four wide, all of a sudden,

1241
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: they can't have seven in the box, only six, and

1242
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: we can we can block that up and run. All

1243
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: of those stuff goes into the mix, and it's all

1244
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: these questions and that's why they have nine hour meetings

1245
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: to figure that stuff out and say, well, we have

1246
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: no answer for this. What are we gonna do? Yeah,

1247
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: better come up with one. Right Either we either if

1248
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: we don't have an answer for that, we better hope

1249
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: that convert that situation doesn't come up, or we got

1250
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: to make sure we don't get in that situation because

1251
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: we can't answer that, or what can we acquire so

1252
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: we can do that? Which is where the league is going?

1253
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: Like what pieces do we need to acquire to be

1254
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: one of the teams on the cutting edge of where

1255
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: this league is going next? You know, maybe we got

1256
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: to add two more receivers because we're gonna be playing

1257
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: four wide on twenty five percent of our offensive snaps

1258
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: because that's what we're capable of doing best. You know,

1259
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: whatever the case might be, we have the protection to

1260
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: hold up. You know, we have the line to hold

1261
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 1: up that it doesn't need extra help. So that's the

1262
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: way we're gonna go. You know, you might find a

1263
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: team out there that maybe doesn't have a juggernaut tight end,

1264
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: but as four pretty damn good receivers, let's go play

1265
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: ten personnel, let's do it right. You know that these

1266
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: are the kinds of things that are decided this time

1267
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,600
Speaker 1: a year by coaching staffs, front offices and the like,

1268
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: and then the offseason plan is put together to accommodate

1269
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: those intentions, and sometimes you're successful in following through on it.

1270
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're not, and you have to readjust again before

1271
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: you get to training camp and say we're going to

1272
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: do it this way. We wanted to do it this way,

1273
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: this didn't pan out, we didn't land this free agent

1274
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: we wanted who would have been a perfect fit for that.

1275
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna do this instead. And you pivot, yeah, because

1276
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: if you don't, you're gonna get left behind and you're

1277
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: gonna very quickly. Be An also ran in this league, right,

1278
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: And it's interesting too because you don't know until you

1279
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 1: don't know now which you know, you say, yeah, we'd

1280
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 1: like to have this guy, but we'd like to have

1281
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: Isam McKenzie back. We'd like to have Cole Beasley stay

1282
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: around for another year. We'd like to have this guy

1283
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 1: that guy. But then those guys make their decisions. Say,

1284
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: you know what I want to I want to try

1285
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: something new. I think I can play every down as

1286
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 1: a wide receiver if I go there, you know, So

1287
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 1: I would say McKenzie might be coming back saying listen,

1288
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: if I go to whatever, Houston or if I go

1289
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: to Tennessee or whatever, I'm gonna be on the field

1290
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: every snap, not just ten total snaps in a game.

1291
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 1: And that's pretty enticing for a player. And so you're

1292
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 1: sitting here as Buffalo. You don't even know which guys

1293
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 1: are gonna be on your roster until way after the draft.

1294
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: So you gotta you got a lot of decisions you'd

1295
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: like to make, but you can't make until you don't

1296
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: You don't because you don't have the information you need

1297
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 1: to do it right. And that's why a lot of things,

1298
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: even with what we're discussing today, can morph and change

1299
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,599
Speaker 1: to a great degree between now and September. Like people

1300
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 1: are voting Chargers Chargers Chargers. Well, wide receiver Mike Williams

1301
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 1: is a free agent. Are they gonna be able to

1302
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: get him back on their roster because if not, that's

1303
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: a loss for them and their passing game. And are

1304
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: they able to replace that either in free agency in

1305
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: the draft if they can't get him back. It's those

1306
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: kinds of things that can very quickly tip the scales

1307
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: in a team's favor or against them. And so yeah,

1308
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 1: we've got we've got a lot of weed whackon to

1309
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: do to get through all the stuff between March April

1310
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 1: May and then training camp in the preseason before we

1311
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: get to September and can really make an honest assessment.

1312
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,639
Speaker 1: But there's no harm in taking a cursory look now

1313
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: to the viable threats in the AFC for the Bills,

1314
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 1: besides the Chiefs, who I think we all expect to

1315
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 1: still be right back where they have been the last

1316
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 1: several years. We will take a break here, but when

1317
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 1: we come back, we will get some of your final

1318
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet, and maybe even a little

1319
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: time for a little NFL true false, All of that

1320
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: coming your way next Here on one Bills, I'm presented

1321
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: by Kellt of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, a post

1322
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: mortem super Bowl note to pass along NFL Networks and

1323
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: Rappaport reporting Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered the knee injury

1324
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl that you saw him hobble off from.

1325
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: He did return to the game, but it won't require surgery,

1326
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: according to sources based on initial tests. He will have

1327
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: to rehab the injury, but the knee sprain should not

1328
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: drastically alter his offseason plans. So there's your update on

1329
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,679
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's other knee, his right knee. His left one

1330
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: was the one that he tore his ACL in last season.

1331
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: His rookie season ended his ear early this time it's

1332
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: the other one. So there you go. You have been

1333
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: updated accordingly. Let's get back to the tweet sheet, though,

1334
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: and that's where we've been asking today, who is the

1335
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: most viable threat in the AFC in twenty twenty two

1336
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:10,719
Speaker 1: besides the Chiefs and why? Thomas says, in my opinion,

1337
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: it's the Ravens. A down season due to injuries, and

1338
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: they have a lot to prove. I can see them

1339
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,680
Speaker 1: knocking the Bengals off for the AFC North Division. They

1340
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: will be hungry and motivated. I mean they almost got in.

1341
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: I mean all those problems, they had basically half a

1342
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 1: roster and they still almost got into the playoffs and

1343
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 1: came down to an ankle injury to Lamar couldn't he

1344
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 1: couldn't play. He might have been able to will him

1345
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 1: to victory a couple of times. He's that you know,

1346
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: he's that good. I mean, the guy was the MVP,

1347
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: so he still got something in the tank. He's still

1348
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: very young as well. So here's the thing, and I

1349
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: get this, it's we asked the question. I get and

1350
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: you have to answer. But I'll just go on record

1351
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: now it's impossible to know what's going to happen because

1352
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: so many brosters are gonna completely be revamped in the

1353
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: next six months and training camps. I mean, you can't

1354
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: tell the future. That's the whole thing. And while we've

1355
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: got some things we can base our assumptions on how

1356
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: these teams are going to be going forward. As it

1357
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: says in all commercials, past results are no guaranteed of

1358
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 1: future results. Still in all e Hoorse says it's the Bengals.

1359
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 1: One thing to consider with the Bengals is that their

1360
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 1: QB was sacked over fifty times during the season and

1361
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: they still made it to the Super Bowl. What will

1362
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: they be like if they find a way to protect

1363
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:31,719
Speaker 1: their QB. Well, it's a legitimate question. What's it gonna

1364
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: be like when they lose some of their free agents

1365
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: and you know, right and there's no listen, you can

1366
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 1: try and fix your offensive line. Let's see it. Yeah,

1367
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 1: they tried to fix it during the seat. I mean,

1368
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: you know, great offensive linemen are not that plentiful. This

1369
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: is true. That's part of That's part of the reasons

1370
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 1: when people say, yeah, they're gonna expand, like fury, there's

1371
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: not enough guys that can play NFL quality football. If

1372
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: you have four teams in the league. You know, if

1373
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: you had thirty six teams instead of thirty two and

1374
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: you had another division, there's no guarantee that you've got

1375
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 1: enough players to fill those rosters who can actually play

1376
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: at the level you want to see. And every single

1377
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 1: year we see a team that comes from the bottom

1378
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: of a division and advanced to the playoffs or sometimes

1379
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 1: win the division. The Bengals were that team. What were

1380
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 1: they have? Five win team? Last year they were last

1381
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 1: in the AFC North, and then the next year, bang,

1382
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, they win the division, go to the Super Bowl,

1383
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: win the AFC title it can and another team will

1384
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 1: probably do it next year, maybe in the AFC, maybe

1385
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 1: in the NFC, we don't know. But they're always one

1386
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:40,799
Speaker 1: of those teams that kind of sneaks up on everybody.

1387
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: They're like, whoa, where did these guys come from? But

1388
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 1: you make a couple of key moves, some guys catch fires,

1389
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: some young players mature and contribute more, and off you go.

1390
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Some of the things that happened, you know, year to

1391
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: year basis, usually one of the teams from the championship

1392
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs the year before doesn't even make

1393
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year, all four of them did. Yeah,

1394
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:06,759
Speaker 1: all four of them did. Chiefs, Bengals, I mean Chiefs, Buccaneers, Bills,

1395
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: and Packers. Right, so they all made it again, but

1396
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: it was you know, with an and all of them

1397
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 1: made it pretty comfortably. That's unusual. Yeah, that's unusual playoffs

1398
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:19,879
Speaker 1: four of five says. I would say it's the Titans.

1399
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 1: Bills always seem to have trouble with them, but far

1400
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,680
Speaker 1: and away it's the Chiefs first and foremost, which is

1401
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: why I still believe that the Bills are going to

1402
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: put a priority on adding speed to their roster, whether

1403
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: it's offense or defense. Gotta get faster to keep up

1404
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 1: with that group. And I'm not saying that's the only

1405
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: thing you need to do, but I think speed in

1406
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: terms of priority has to move up a notch or two, because,

1407
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: like I was saying right when the season ended, you

1408
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: can play the most fundamentally sound defense possible. If you

1409
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: can't catch people, it doesn't matter how how fundamentally sound

1410
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: you are, You're still not going to win the play.

1411
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: They an't run your fundamentals. I'll say this though, and

1412
01:17:56,080 --> 01:18:00,520
Speaker 1: I still and I'm a big proponent of this. I

1413
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: see the Bills draft, and I like their philosophy. I

1414
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: know they haven't hit on it like they've been. They've

1415
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 1: been dumping a lot of assets into pass rushers and

1416
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 1: defensive line so Epinessa, Oliver and uh Basham over the

1417
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 1: last couple of years. I still like the philosophy of

1418
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 1: getting at the particularly in the top couple of rounds,

1419
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: maybe two or three four rounds of the draft, of

1420
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 1: getting guys with some elite physical traits, guys like Greg Rousseau,

1421
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: Boogie Basham At Oliver, you know, Epinessa, all these guys,

1422
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:41,440
Speaker 1: they've got elite physical traits. And I like that philosophy,

1423
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: same thing as Tremaine Edmonds elite physical traits. I think

1424
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: that's why you draft these guys is because you play

1425
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: a big physical game and those guys are not plentiful.

1426
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: You can have guys that outperform their traits, no question

1427
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, you know, I was a guy

1428
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,679
Speaker 1: that hung around for a long time, and my physical traits,

1429
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, well there they are always going to be exceptions,

1430
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: Steve right, you just don't want to have more than

1431
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: one or two of them on your roster. Well, even

1432
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 1: if you have more than one or two. If they

1433
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 1: play good, fine, but you gotta The simple fact of

1434
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 1: the matter is it's a physical game played by guys

1435
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: who you know, pushing against each other, and to be

1436
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: bigger and stronger and faster and taller, and all of

1437
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 1: that stuff pays huge dividends in a myriad of circumstances

1438
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: that happen every game. And I just like their philosophy.

1439
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: Certainly they haven't hit on a superstar yet on one

1440
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 1: of their things. You know, say what you will, Josh,

1441
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: they did, I guess, And that's another that's another instance

1442
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: of trafting a guy with physical traits when you hit

1443
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 1: those home runs. When you get a guy that's got

1444
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 1: a under the hood and you know, the great paint

1445
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: job man, you win a lot of races with that.

1446
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:06,759
Speaker 1: So I like their philosophy where it's been. I also

1447
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 1: love their philosophy and free agency as well. And I

1448
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: guess this is gonna be mom mantra going forward here

1449
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: for the next couple of months, Brownie, as they get

1450
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: up to the draft. I mean, just do more of

1451
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 1: what you've done, and do it better. Do exactly what

1452
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: you've done, just do it a little better. Always try

1453
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: to do it better. Pick a, you know, because I

1454
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,719
Speaker 1: love their philosophy and let's face it, it has proven

1455
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 1: successful successful. There's no way you can construe what the

1456
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: Bills have done over the last five years and not

1457
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: say that it has not been successful. So and you can,

1458
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: based on whatever criteria you want, they have been in

1459
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: the hunt and this close to and it wasn't it

1460
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: wasn't there. Let me tell you this. It wasn't their

1461
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: draft philosophy that didn't get into the super Bowl this year.

1462
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: It was a couple of plays that their guy didn't make.

1463
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: And it was you know, and that's every team, every team.

1464
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 1: So I love their philosophy in the draft. I love

1465
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 1: the way that they value things. And as a guy

1466
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: who played elite in the game, you know, in the

1467
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: league and for a long time thirteen years I played,

1468
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 1: I know, man, you cannot, you cannot overestimate the value

1469
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: of having elite physical traits. They are just so so

1470
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: beneficial in so many ways. So I love the way

1471
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 1: the Bills have gotten those guys and why they've gotten him,

1472
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown, you know, Tommy Doyle, all of these guys

1473
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 1: they are they are elite specimens and certainly they're going

1474
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 1: to get better. Guys like Dawson Knox who have who

1475
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 1: mushroomed this year, had a great year. Devin Singletary who

1476
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 1: came on and you know, we kind of saw him

1477
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 1: spread his wings second half of the season where he

1478
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: made such a difference for this team, you know. And

1479
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: then the other guys like Tradavious White who has become

1480
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:06,839
Speaker 1: a you know, a foundational piece. So I'm going forward,

1481
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I don't see and great. I mean,

1482
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: make a trade for a guy like Steph Diggs if

1483
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. But man, oh man, what they

1484
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: have done so far has been absolutely spot on, and

1485
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 1: you just like everything they just try and do exact

1486
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:28,679
Speaker 1: same thing and do it better. Yeah, and hit hit

1487
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: on more draft picks. I got you. I'm with you

1488
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: on that. Let's turn, though, now to a little NFL

1489
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: True False Steve, brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New

1490
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: York's artists and Cheese, and we begin with the following Steve.

1491
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: All the head coaching vacancies have now been filled, So

1492
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: NFL True false Number one, the Jaguars bringing in Doug

1493
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 1: Peterson was the best head coaching higher this off season.

1494
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:56,600
Speaker 1: Do you want me to run down the list for

1495
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: you so you see, oh we got him right here.

1496
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Look at that. So it's Josh McDaniels in Vegas. I

1497
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: would say, no, that is not the best. Kevin O'Connell

1498
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,480
Speaker 1: with the Vikings, Matt Eberflus with the Bears, Mike McDaniel

1499
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins, Nathaniel Hackett to the Broncos, Brian Dabele

1500
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,839
Speaker 1: to the Giants, Glovey Smith to the Texans, Dennis Allen

1501
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: to the Saints. Is Doug Beaters Doug Peterson the best

1502
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 1: offseason higher for head coach? No, I don't think he is.

1503
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: He's the only one there with a Super Bowl ring

1504
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,400
Speaker 1: as a head coach has made it to a Super Bowl.

1505
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: Those guys are hard to find, no question. I would

1506
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 1: say Brian Dable is the best hire by the Giants. Yeah,

1507
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 1: I was kind of inclined to say the same, and

1508
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: I just where this league is going, We've got to

1509
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 1: certainly have recency bias, and you know, we love the guy.

1510
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,719
Speaker 1: So I'm with what they're gonna do in New York

1511
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 1: with Joe, with Joe Shane there, I think Brian Dabole

1512
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: is going to do some good things in that division.

1513
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: I would be inclined to agree. I would say also, though,

1514
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 1: I be interested to see what Kevin O'Connell can do

1515
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. He's the RAMSOC, not as much experience as

1516
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 1: day Will obviously doesn't have the Super Bowl rings either.

1517
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 1: McDaniels second time around in Las Vegas is an interesting

1518
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 1: one too. He has a quarterback there, and he said

1519
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 1: he learned a lot of lessons from his failures in

1520
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 1: Denver when he was the head coach there at ten

1521
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 1: eleven years ago. And I'll say this, he failed spectacularly

1522
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 1: in Denver. The way was a blaze of glory. I

1523
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,840
Speaker 1: mean it was. That place was in flames when he left.

1524
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: He said, the biggest thing he learned is how much

1525
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 1: the job is about people in relationships, not about doing

1526
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,799
Speaker 1: what it takes to win. That could be a valuable

1527
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 1: lesson for him as he goes to Las Vegas. So well, maybe, okay,

1528
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:52,600
Speaker 1: but I would say false. You're saying false. So we

1529
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 1: move on to number two NFL true false, Number two

1530
01:24:56,240 --> 01:25:02,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady will eventually come out of retirement. True or false. Wow,

1531
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 1: this is a good one. Yeah, that's a coin flip.

1532
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 1: I think it's better than a coin flip. He's definitely

1533
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 1: coming back. Yeah, oh my god, Like is this? I mean,

1534
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,680
Speaker 1: I can't even believe it's a question it's happening. Did

1535
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 1: you hear all the guys at the Super Bowl this

1536
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 1: week when they were asked, even Josh gott as he goes,

1537
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. He can't stay away.

1538
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: He can't help himself. He is too hyper competitive. He

1539
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be at home in May when voluntary ota

1540
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: start and the itch is gonna he's gonna he's gonna

1541
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,679
Speaker 1: break out in hives. I will say this. He can't

1542
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: help him. Here's the thing. You may be right, but

1543
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 1: here's another thing too. One of the things that gives

1544
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 1: guys problems when they leave the NFL is just what

1545
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 1: you said, things are. The league is grinding on without him.

1546
01:25:58,200 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: You know, they miss it and they're doing this, and

1547
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, they're like wow, you know, and what and

1548
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:04,639
Speaker 1: they're doing nothing right. They've got they've got a pile

1549
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: of cash and they walked away with and they're like, well,

1550
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? You know, they get this.

1551
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: It's like they feel unproductive, they feel like they're a

1552
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 1: little bit worthless because they don't you know, they don't.

1553
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:18,519
Speaker 1: They're not sitting in a cubicle. Well to mention the

1554
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 1: fact that he led the league in passing yards. Right,

1555
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. I don't think Tom Brady is

1556
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: a guy who would get to this point without having

1557
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:32,799
Speaker 1: something that is going to occupy his competitiveness, his desire

1558
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 1: to contribute, his need to be productive in some way,

1559
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 1: shape or form for the people around him, obviously his family.

1560
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 1: I just think he's too sharp to have gotten to

1561
01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 1: this point without having something that's going to get him forward.

1562
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: So if that's the case, then the the possibility that

1563
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,599
Speaker 1: he comes back is less because he will have things

1564
01:26:57,600 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 1: that are interesting to him, and he is heavily invested.

1565
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 1: Did in a lot of business ventures, about a half

1566
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 1: a dozen. It's not just TV twelve. There's like four

1567
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:07,719
Speaker 1: or five other things that he's pretty pretty heavily invested.

1568
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 1: He's got endorsements, some crypto, He's into some NFT stuff.

1569
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 1: So he's I mean, he's he's distributed his wealth by

1570
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:22,960
Speaker 1: investing in a bunch of things. He's got some production houses.

1571
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: He's got one ninety nine Productions an homage to his

1572
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 1: draft pick number that does long form documentary type projects

1573
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: and then he's got another production house that he's a

1574
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 1: part of also, which is part of the reason they

1575
01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:40,719
Speaker 1: did The Man in the Arena series. So yeah, I mean,

1576
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,600
Speaker 1: he's got his hands in a lot of things. But

1577
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 1: football has been first for so long. I just don't

1578
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 1: see it going away, right, it might not. And here's

1579
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: the thing too, because we've seen this happen year after

1580
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 1: year as well. At some point and this isn't what

1581
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 1: get makes me laugh. At some point, there's gonna be

1582
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: a team with more than just a glimmer of hope

1583
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl, make a run at it.

1584
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: Who all of a sudden, are gonna need a QB. Oh,

1585
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. There's gonna be like the

1586
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: Tenant Tom on his white horse, the Tennessee Titans, just

1587
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,840
Speaker 1: yell riding in the back, hair flowing in the wind.

1588
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 1: Here we come to rest a franchise. The horse is

1589
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a unicorn, right, So you know what I mean.

1590
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: That is gonna happen, And that just makes me laugh

1591
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 1: because there's gonna be all of a sudden's gonna be like, oh,

1592
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's out, Yeah, and then I'll get nauseous all

1593
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: over again. All right, We gotta take a break, Steve

1594
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 1: and I to close it up next here on One

01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:58,040
