Speaker 2: tells me and he's in Georgia. He's telling me they're

9
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 2: expecting two to six inches of snow today because there's

10
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,759

11
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: to six inches of snow in Georgia.

14
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,319

00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: feels negative. I'll bet it's negative. I said that too.

40
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: I go, I'll bet it's negative nine or something almost

41
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: negative eight. Yeah, like I'm right in the guy. Can

43
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: Long?

44
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: Unfortunately?

45
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: So I have I have an attached garage, thank goodness.

46
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: And and it's insulated. So I've got an insulated garage door,

47
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: you know, the whole thing. And I go in there

48
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: and on my keypad, you know that I hit to

49
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: open the door. I also is a temperature gauge and

50
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: it says it's forty five in my garage, which I

51
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: would think, all things considered, that's pretty good.

52
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 3: It's not bad.

53
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,440

54
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: you going to or two outside walls.

55
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: Going to eat your garage?

56
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: No?

57
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 3: Keep it. You're not going to keep it at sixty five?

58
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

59
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: And it's not heated, it's just you know whatever. So anyway,

Speaker 2: every day, you know, you get in the car and

61
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: I pull out, and you know, the car says forty

62
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: five degrees, just like the keypad, and then you know,

63
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: I'm pulling out. I'm coming around the corner down to

87
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: thirty three days, we've had thirty two days of measurable snowfall.

88
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 2: And that's that's with a lake that's ninety percent frozen.

89
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: Maybe it wasn't thirty days ago, but it is now.

159
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: got called away.

160
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Well, we'll cross our fingers.

161
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: He'll be here, and we we should spin that right

162
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: into some Bills notes, because multiple reports have Bill's new

163
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: head coach, Joe Brady, agreeing to terms with Pete Carmichael

164
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: to be his offensive coordinator. Carmichael spent the last two

165
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: seasons as a senior offensive assistant under Sean Payton in

166
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: Denver and then Brady as a younger assistant himself worked

167
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: under Carmile Carmichael as an offensive assistant with the Saints

168
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: from twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen before he moved on

169
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: to LSU and eventually the Carolina Panthers over the next

170
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: two years. So we'll see if and when that is

171
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: made official by the club. NFL Network is reporting that

172
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: the Bills and the Packers have requested interviews with Cardinals

173
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: past game coordinator Connor Sanger, who will interview for both

174
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 2: teams quarterbacks coaching jobs. A former college QB, Sanger called

175
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: plays at this week's East West Shrine Bowl. He's only

176
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: thirty years of age. But as you heard, a former

177
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: quarterback himself, and I think this is probably serving as

178
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: indication that Ronald Curry, who was the quarterbacks coach the

179
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: last couple of seasons, he's probably not going to be

180
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: back with the club.

181
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: So I'll get to more on that.

182
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: In just a second, because he's been interviewing for offensive

183
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: coordinator jobs around the league late, so we'll get into

184
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: the details of that.

185
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 3: Carmichael, Yeah, Pete Carmichael, And I heard his name and

186
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 3: I went back and checked out, and he was with

187
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: Sean Peyton in New Orleans for a long time, was

188
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 3: part of their staff that won years. Yeah, like seventeen

189
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 3: or eighteen years. And then he was also in Denver,

190
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: was this past year, last two years, his last two

191
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: years with Peyton and Denver. So he obviously knows how

192
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: Sean Payton does business. And he has been for that long,

193
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: almost two decades with a head coach that calls plays

194
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: like Joe brad he's gonna do. So he knows how

195
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: that dynamic should work, could work, and how and how

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: Sean Payton prepared to do it. And he's done it

197
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: very well obviously, So that I thought, having read that's

198
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: that's a pretty good hire. It makes a lot of sense.

199
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: They've got a familiarity with each other. Joe Brady cut

200
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 3: his teeth offensively, grown up in that Sean Payton offensive

201
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: system and right, you know that process that he did

202
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: so made a lot of sense.

203
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 6: Uh.

204
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: And he's also got some a lot of experience and

205
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: has cold plays. So if Joe Brady says, you know what,

206
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: I've done this for a month here in the beginning,

207
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm not doing it anymore, Yeah, Carmichael will know what's due.

208
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: So Bill's quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry is one of five

209
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: candidates who have interviewed with the Jets for their offensive

210
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: coordinator position. The other candidates former Stanford head coach Frank Raich,

211
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: former Miami quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator Darryl Bevill,

212
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: former Chargers O C. Greg Roman, and Dallas tight ends

213
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: coach London Wells. Some reports have Reich as the favorite

214
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: for the job, so make of that what you will.

215
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: During his media tour Thursday, Joe Brady was asked for

216
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: his thoughts on wide receiver Keon Coleman on the heels

217
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: of last week's press conference and stated, quote, Keon Coleman

218
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: is going to be a Buffalo Bill going forward. He

219
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: went on to say, quote, I told Keon when I

220
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: got hired, the best thing that happened to Keon Coleman

221
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: was me being as head coach. I was one of

222
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: the ones that stood on the table for Keon Coleman,

223
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: and I believe in Keon Coleman. Brady also explained that

224
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: in many cases, Coleman had to put the team first

225
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: and he believes his game will continue to grow. He

226
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: said he has no doubt that Coleman will be successful

227
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: on the field, and I heard Brandon Bean kind of reiterate,

228
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: re emphasize that as well. He said he already talked

229
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: to Keon's agent. Everybody's on the same page, and he said,

230
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: Keon's head is down and he's working hard.

231
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: So I'll say this for Keon and for the struggles

232
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: he's had, he he has never ceased to take ownership

233
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: of it. That has been one of the most if

234
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: there has been an endearing quality to him. He's called

235
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: himself out publicly time and time again, and it's and

236
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: it's you know, so it's it's so hard to it's

237
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: hard to criticize that.

238
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still remember him characterizing his rookie season as trash.

239
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: That was his trash. Yeah, so he's hard on himself.

240
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: So but by the sounds of it, he's doing all

241
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: the right things right now to get ready for next season.

242
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: And it's clear.

243
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: And I give Joe Brady a lot of credit for saying, yeah,

244
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: I was one of the guys.

245
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: For the controvert on the It's crazy too because the

246
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: controvers who was when when Terry said, you know, it

247
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: was the coaching staff that wanted key on and stuff,

248
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: and they were saying that everybody thought he threw Sean

249
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 3: McDermot under the bus. He hired the guy that stood

250
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: on the table for Yeah, so say what you want

251
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: about it that it's crazy, you know, and it's and

252
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 3: it's you know, interesting to see how all this stuff unfolds.

253
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go around the NFL presented by Kalida Health,

254
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: the official health care system of the Buffalo Bills. And

255
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: some big news out of Minnesota as the Vikings have

256
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: fired GM Quisi Adafo Mensa. He was reported to be

257
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: working today at Senior Bowl practice as he was entering

258
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: his fifth season as general manager of the club. Some

259
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: reports indicate there were some internal relationships that had become

260
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: frayed and made this move necessary as the situation was

261
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: apparently untenable. So we'll wait for updated reports on just

262
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: what went down.

263
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: There.

264
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: Kind of late to fire a GM, especially now that

265
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: you're entering the comp you go to the Combine in

266
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: two three weeks.

267
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: It's it's a weird.

268
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure they have an assistant GM that

269
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: can handle that. You know, everybody else stays in place,

270
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: But you gotta you got Combine free agency draft coming up,

271
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: Like this is the heart of the calendar.

272
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: This is this is the time.

273
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: This is the time to do it. Though, this is

274
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: the time to do it. You gotta You got a

275
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: couple of weeks to prepare, evaluate your own roster, prepare,

276
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: get to know the can, get to know the scout

277
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: the get to know the players, the college players coming out,

278
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: get to know the class. What your needs are. They

279
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: got time and there, and it's not like they haven't

280
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: been doing work up to this point. Now what they

281
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: may do now with a new GM, whoever that may be,

282
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: which they got to Yeah, I don't want to. You

283
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: shouldn't take a month, right what that comes with On

284
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: that side of the of the administration, it's not the

285
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 3: head coach. This is a GM, and he runs the

286
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: scouting department and all of that and signs players and

287
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: the cap and all that. Job one for him is saying, listen,

288
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: what kind of players do you want? What kind of

289
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: players do you want us to bring in? He's talking

290
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: to his head coach, And if there's relationships that are

291
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: infraid in the building that I would assume head coach

292
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: is probably one of them, uh you, or unless it

293
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: was ownership, there's Yeah, those are the questions they're going

294
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: to have in the interview process. But they've got time

295
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 3: to get this and I don't know what when else

296
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: would you when else would you fire a guy if

297
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: you were a team, And this has got to be

298
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 3: the same thing as a head coach. He's got to

299
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: be now, yeah, or two weeks ago.

300
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: The Vikings have two assistant gms, Ryan Grigson and Demetrius Washington.

301
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: Both were promoted to those roles just last June. So

302
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: presumably those guys will one of them will probably serve

303
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: on an interim basis and then maybe after the draft,

304
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: when the dust settles, maybe they figure out what a

305
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: more permanent solution will be.

306
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: Griggson, I'm and I'm his name is.

307
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: He was with the Cult, right he was as a GM.

308
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: I can't remember well it was, but yeah, he was.

309
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: So he's the assistant GM and Demetrius Washington's the other

310
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: assistant GM. So we'll see what happens there over the

311
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: weeks and months. In Minnesota, Broncos defensive pass game coordinator

312
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: Jim Leonard is believed to be interviewing for the Ravens

332

337
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,639

Speaker 2: special teams coordinator Bubba van Trone to be their special

339
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: teams coordinator, and then the Jets. This was interesting even

340
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 2: though Brian Duker was hired to be the jets new

341
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. Head coach Aaron Glenn is going to be

342
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: calling defensive plays in twenty twenty six. Duker has no

343
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: play calling experience. There are also reports that veteran NFL

344
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: coordinator Wink Martindale was considered a favorite for the role,

345
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: even assembled a collection of assistants to walk into the

346
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: job and fill out the vacancies on Glenn's staff, but

347
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 2: Glenn then did an about face and hired Duker.

348
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: Are we ever short on drama with the Jets?

349
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 7: Yeah?

350
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: I don't know that, Wink Martin.

351
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say it sounds unconventional to say the least.

352
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think yeah, because you know the way this reads,

353
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 8: Glenn says to Martindale, Yeah, would love to have you

354
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 8: be my DC, and you know, see if you can

355
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 8: round up some assistants and we'll fill out the staff

356
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 8: because I just threw about nine guys overboard.

357
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 3: Or it might be that Aaron. Glenn said, yeah, I'll

358
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: talk to you about it. We'll see what it is.

359
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: And he's without committing. And when Martindale said, I'm your guy,

360
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: I've already got the guys come. I'm gonna and by

361
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 3: the way, the staff that you're going to hire the

362
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: guys I'm bringing in, and.

363
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: He tried to strong army like that, No, you're not

364
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: gonna do that. I don't know.

365
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 3: It could be it could be a multitude of things,

366
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: but obviously.

367
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: It didn't happen.

368
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Eagles finally filled their vacant offensive coordinator

369
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: position with Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannon, which is why

370
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: the Packers, along with the Bills, are looking to talk

371
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: to the Connor singer guy in Arizona for their quarterbacks

372
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: coaching job.

373
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: They and that's kind of it Philly A lot.

374
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: I know, Philly seemed like they struggled to fill their

375
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator spot.

376
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: It took him in, it it took him in.

377
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 3: They had some guys it seemed to quietly bow out

378
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: of that competition.

379
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does make you wonder. Ah, Noah, I don't know.

380
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 9: I don't know.

381
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: I think there. I think their head coach might be

382
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: hard to work for Nick Sirianni.

383
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: It's possible.

384
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: I mean what they they won the Super Bowl two

385
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: years ago now, just last year.

386
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: What am I saying?

387
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 3: It was the most recent one that's been played yet.

388
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, just won the Super Bowl and they did they

389
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: lose their OC. Yeah, they lost.

390
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: Their Yeah, they lost both their coordinators, right.

391
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: No, they lost Kellen Moore to the Saints head coach,

392
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 2: and after their previous Super Bowl they had lost both

393
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: coordinators that was under a different head coach, Doug Peterson,

394
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 2: but they had lost Shane Steichen and Jonathan who went

395
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: to coach the Colts and Cardinals, respectively. Yeah, a lot

396
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: of transition there. Kevin Patullo got removed from the OC

397
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: spot after taking over this past year after Kellen Moore left,

398
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: but was not fired. He's like been reassigned or something.

399
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's yeah, I don't That's one of those

400
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: things where five years from now, we're going to find

401
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: out a whole lot more about all of this stuff

402
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: than we do we know now, right right, that's what

403
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: it smells like to me.

404
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: And then this was interesting, Steve.

405
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: The NFL is exploring using replay review to put.

406
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: A flag on the field.

407
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: In the event that there is a play compromising the

408
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: safety of a player that is missed by officials. So

409
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: during an NFL Health and Safety media briefing this morning,

410
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: NFL Chief Football Administrative Officer Dona Ponte said the league

411
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: will explore the possibility of using replay to call penalties

412
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: for safety related infractions that the officials miss during the

413
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 2: live action. Now you and I know this is a

414
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: huge Pandora's box.

415
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: Yes, it is huge. Uh yeah, throwing booths from the stand,

416
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 3: throwing flags from the stand or from the booth is

417
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: an enormous risk. It's an enormous risk.

418
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: So, just to explain it, replay, if they examine this

419
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: in the off season, decide to implement it. That means

420
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: replay could be used for fouls involving blows to the head,

421
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: use of the helmet, roughing the passer, unnecessary roughness, and more.

422
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: They can't do that, right Now, of course, they still

423
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: enforce those rules after the fact, after the game, they'll

424
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: send a letter and a fine to the team and say, hey, player,

425
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: a hit the quarterback in the head. He's getting fined

426
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 3: a game checker, even though there was no penalty. This

427
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: guy did a horse collar, this guy did a hip drop,

428
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 3: this guy had a face mask penalty, whatever, this guy

429
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: threw a punch, he's suspended for a game. All that stuff.

430
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: They do that after the fact now, so the players

431
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: may the team may not be penalized on the day

432
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 3: of the game, during during the contest, but they do afterwards.

433
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: So there's still consequence. So it's still a deterrent for

434
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 3: guys to do it because it hits him in the pocketbook,

435
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: and that's you know, that's important. And it works this

436
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: of course, as we all can see, it's incredibly dangerous. Yeah,

437
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 3: I mean, because if you're gonna you can't run a

438
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 3: football play and somebody ain't.

439
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: Cheating, right. So their their argument to take a look

440
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: at this is.

441
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: That it makes no sense for replay to be available

442
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: to overturn an erroneous face mask foul that's flagged on

443
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: the field, but not be available to call a face

444
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: mask foul that the officials completely miss. The Sam Darnold

445
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: spin the head around like the exorcism backs task in

446
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 2: the end zone that was never called is an example

447
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: of that R.

448
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 3: So what I want to know I want to see

449
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 3: the list, and I don't have it with me.

450
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: No, I don't see the list.

451
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: Of which plays you're talking about, because as soon as

452
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 3: you draw that line, people are going to want to

453
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 3: move it one way or the other. Yeah, because they're saying, now,

454
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: you also got to include this then, or you can't

455
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 3: include that. You got to exclude that.

456
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: They're saying, only fouls that involve the safety of a player,

457
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: And I'm.

458
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: Like, face mask, Well wait a minute, now, is it everything?

459
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 3: Peel back blocks, chop blocks, chop blocks, clips, trips? Uh,

460
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: horse collar, horse collar, hip drop? Uh, blow to the

461
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: head yep uh? What about throwing a punch?

462
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: Defenseless receive defenseless receive me and we're already up to

463
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: ten Now it's it's a Pandora's box.

464
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: They can't do it. You, James, will take four and

465
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: a half hours.

466
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: Now you're adding flags that the seven guys on the

467
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: field can't call.

468
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 3: I don't think you should do it. I think it's

469
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: a huge mistake.

470
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 2: You think you think we don't have enough to complain

471
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 2: about already as Bills fans. Here's now we're gonna now,

472
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna have the replay. Should have thrown the flag

473
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: on that one and they missed it.

474
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: Here's my fear.

475
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: Oh boy, don't say it.

476
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 3: They're gonna tinker with it. We're gonna try it. We're

477
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 3: gonna do it one year probade where we're gonna try

478
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 3: and do this and that and and it's and it's

479
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: gonna open up an.

480
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: It's not my fear is not gonna try it.

481
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 3: It'll be horrible or it will be mostly horrible. But

482
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: in some cases, oh wow, that's a good thing. And

483
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: then they're gonna have to You're right. Then it's gonna

484
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: get worse, not better. It's like, well, we can't completely

485
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 3: scrap it. Here's what we'll do.

486
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, I'm hoping that does not get any

487
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: wheels or any traction whatsoever. That is a mess waiting

488
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 2: to happen. All right, we gotta take a break here.

Speaker 1: What do you have for his? PJ?

508
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 4: Hello, go ahead on J.

509
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 5: Hey, oh hey, guys, Hey, thank you very much for

510
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 5: taking my call. I'm Ken Moore. I know that what

511
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 5: I watched yesterday was extremely touching. His emotions were just

512
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 5: off the chart. If is like a new head coach

513
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 5: coming in. Yes, he's been here, but I'm amazed by that.

514
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 5: I mean, he was choked up, he couldn't speak. That's

515
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 5: when you see somebody living their dream. They're going to

516
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 5: give you a heart and soul. And this guy, from

517
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 5: what I understand, is there at five am doesn't leave

518
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 5: till one.

519
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 4: Come on.

520
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 5: Wow, what do you guys feel about that?

521
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've we're kind of around it a lot,

522
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: so we know, like a lot of these guys are grinders.

523
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: That's just part of the Steve calls it lifestyle of coaching.

524
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: You're you're a football junkie. It's all football, all the time.

525
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: And you know, Joe's got a young family. I believe

526
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: he comes to work early, leaves late, and then goes

527
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: home and spends time with his family. I think those

528
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 2: are the only two things that Joe does. That's how

529
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: narrowly focused he is. It's literally family and football. And

530
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 2: you know that works for him, so hard to argue

531
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: with it. He's been very successful, and yeah, it makes

532
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: total sense why he's emotional because this is the pinnacle,

533
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: this is the pinnacle of the profession head coach in

534
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: the NFL, and you know his sister was talking about it.

535
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: She was here yesterday saying, I still remember going to

536
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: school in the car. He's six years old and he's

537
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: making us put sports talk radio on, you know, because

538
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: he knows teams and players and strengths and weaknesses, you know,

539
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: at age eight. I mean, this is all this guy

540
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: has ever wanted to do. And now here, at age

541
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: thirty six, he's reached the top of the mountain. So yeah,

542
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: you can't get a little choked up.

543
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a big it's a big moment. And

544
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: yeah he does. Oh he's he's I don't want to

545
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: say typical, but that's what these guys do. That's this lifestyle.

546
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: I had somebody ask me today if I had ever

547
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: thought about getting it, and this that's exact reason I

548
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: said no. I never wanted to ask my family to

549
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: make that kind of sacrifice. When I retired from playing.

550
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 3: I had we had four children and fifth one was

551
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 3: two months away, and I didn't want to have to

552
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: make them move all over the country multiple times during

553
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: the course of their growing up years. And it's a sacrifice,

554
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 3: not just the coach of getting up at four am

555
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: and getting in and getting home after midnight. It's something

556
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: that family has to be in on too. They have

557
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: to understand that's the way it is. A lot of

558
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 3: guys don't want to make that sacrifice. And when you

559
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 3: do year after year after year, and you start to

560
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 3: climb the ladder and you start to do interviews and

561
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: then and you know, nothing ever happens, and you're trying

562
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: to do it, and as you're you're the offensive coordinator

563
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: for this offense, it's top five. You're killing it. You're

564
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 3: really successful. Nobody knows. In fact, people are calling for

565
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: you to be fired during the regular season. You never

566
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 3: think it's gonna happen. And then finally you get tapped

567
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: on the shoulder and say, hey, we picked you. You did

568
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: a great job. Yeah, it's pretty emotional. You know, it's

569
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: pretty emotional.

570
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dylan in Buffalo next. What's up, Dylan?

571
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 10: Hey guy, hate Steve pat Brownie. How you guys doing it?

572
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: They're doing good.

573
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 10: Thanks for calling, Thank you guys for taking my call.

574
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 10: I'm gonna keep it short. I was on the edge

575
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 10: of my seat about heart Zoe Brady, but I think

576
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 10: he nailed it with crossed it with the interview. I

577
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 10: wanted to know do you guys think we will be

578
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 10: able to get Carnal Tate out of Ohio State.

579
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a wide receiver prospect that I

580
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: think is probably gonna be off the board way before

581
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: the Bills pick at twenty six. And it's a little

582
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: premature to start talking draft.

583
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean we're three months away from that.

584
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, But all that being said, the gurus that have

585
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: their ear to the ground on the draft year round

586
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: believe he's going to be off the board by the

587
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: time you get to pick twenty six. Obviously, the Bills

588
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: could move up and down on the board, as we

589
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: know Brandon Bean has done in the past, so I

590
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: suppose you can never rule it out, you know, but

591
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: we'll see. We do have to take a break here

592
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: because we will be having Joe Brady join us new

593
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: head coach of the Buffalo Bills when we return here

594
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live.

595
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 11: Stay with us, all.

596
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 1: Right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

597
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and joining us in

598
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: studio the twenty first head coach of the Buffalo Bills,

599
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: Joe Brady, on a whirlwind tour that continues today. So

600
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: thanks for stopping by and making some time for US coach.

601
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: Congratulations again. The one thing that struck me about some

602
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: of your comments yesterday, you called the interview process with

603
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: the Bills the most intense you've ever been a part of.

604
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: And you know this isn't new to you. You've been

605
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: on like six to eight interviews over the last two

606
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: off seasons. What made it so intense this one in particular?

607
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 12: That's well, thank you, by the way. I wish I

608
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 12: wish I could tell you that that was just like

609
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 12: a press conference talk or that was real, like that

610
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 12: is so real. Look, I didn't know what I was

611
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 12: walking into, full transparency, Like I didn't know how was

612
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 12: this going to be a hey, they're just they're just

613
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 12: it's just check the box. He's the in house candidate,

614
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 12: you know. And then once it started, I thought, I thought,

615
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 12: you know, Brandon obviously started did an incredible job of like,

616
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 12: we're gonna exactly like you said, We're gonna treat it

617
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 12: like we don't know you. But because there was elements

618
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 12: of me being here, they made sure and they do

619
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 12: know some elements of me, they made sure that they

620
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 12: asked more questions and more like putting me through more

621
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 12: situations and visions and unlike a lot of places that

622
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 12: I've been, and they asked more stuff that they might

623
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 12: already probably know the answer to, but they let's look,

624
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 12: Laura Pogola in there, let's hear what you let you know?

625
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 12: Like yeah, and even talking like I know he said yesterday,

626
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 12: like we kind of knew. We talked offense like we

627
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 12: like there's there was not. And I've been some places

628
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 12: that they talked less. They acted like they knew me

629
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 12: more than the place.

630
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: I've been exhaustingly thorough.

631
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 12: When I say I'm talking like thorough, talking like NonStop,

632
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 12: I mean it's like, you know, let's see how this

633
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 12: guy is. You know, we're just gonna keep going.

634
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: One of the things we heard was that this they

635
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: wanted a CEO as head coach. Somebody was up above

636
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 3: at night. You know wrong, you said you're gonna call plays.

637
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 3: I thought maybe that meant you were going to step

638
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: away from that rule. But what does that mean? What

639
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: did that mean? That CEO thing? Why do you think

640
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: they were like, oh, yeah, you are going to be

641
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 3: able to go up and put more under your umbrella.

642
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 11: Yeah.

643
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: I think.

644
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 12: I think some of the background and the places that

645
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 12: I've been I've seen how it works, you know, Like

646
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 12: I know, I talked a lot about Sean Payton yesterday,

647
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 12: but that's because I've I've been in the room and

648
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 12: seen how he his day to day goes and see

649
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 12: what that looks like from a game planning standpoint, being

650
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 12: with the defense also, and then okay, now I can

651
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 12: get ready to go call game and look I have

652
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 12: so like that's twenty plus years of doing it from Champagne.

653
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 12: So I'm not I'm an understanding of that, like there's

654
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 12: gonna be growing pains with it. But I think when

655
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 12: they were putting me through the process of one understanding, Okay, yeah,

656
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 12: you're gonna call plays. Now what does this look like?

657
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 12: What does it look like on a Monday? What does

658
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 12: it look like with the defense at practice?

659
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 11: What is it?

660
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 12: And it was really cool and the people that they

661
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 12: had in the room, it wasn't like it was just

662
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 12: being in the room. It wasn't being Josh and mister

663
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 12: Bogula right like you know Pete, you know, answered asking

664
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 12: questions and so I was getting a you know, a

665
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 12: bunch of different views and things that other people might

666
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 12: find important and just kind of putting you through the

667
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 12: ringer of it. And I remember I left and I

668
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 12: called my agent right away, and I was like that,

669
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 12: you I really felt like I was an offensive quarter

670
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 12: at another place.

671
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 2: And then and Brandon even referenced yesterday how they had

672
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 2: it was almost like a second interview on zoom, right,

673
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: like he they wanted to ask more questions and was

674
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: that like the lightning round.

675
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: Or what was left to ask?

676
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, well let's well here, look you go first, and

677
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 12: you want to you hope you get a second opportunity, right, Like,

678
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 12: You're like, that's like interview.

679
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 9: One on one.

680
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 12: You just never want to be the first interview, right.

681
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 12: You don't want to be the first. You don't want

682
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 12: to be last, you know, like I knew when we

683
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 12: played on Saturday some of these interviews, I was gonna,

684
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 12: you know, after the Denver game, you know, obviously, you know,

685
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 12: I'm like, I'm the last person interview in a lot

686
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 12: of these places. And so that's that fine line. You

687
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 12: just hope you get an opportunity that there's gonna be

688
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 12: elements that they want to come back on and be like, hey,

689
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 12: I know we touched on this, you know, but let's

690
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 12: one more time. And so that was obviously important. But

691
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 12: I'll look, I'll never forget Pete. Uh and he might

692
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 12: get mad at me for saying this, But like Pete

693
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 12: at one point like grilled me on a question. He

694
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 12: apologized after he goes cause I kind of knew at

695
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 12: that point you were going to be our head football.

696
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: Coach, but I still needed to ask the question, you know.

697
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 12: But I but I like what I appreciated about the

698
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 12: process was like that's I wanted to be around the

699
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 12: right people, but they like they weren't. It wasn't just like, hey,

700
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 12: this is your job like I was. I mean, I

701
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 12: tell you like I was frustrated, Like I was like

702
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 12: like I want this and like, you know, this is

703
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 12: going another day like this is where I wanted to beat.

704
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: Only adds to the intensity that you're talking.

705
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 12: About, absolutely, you know, and and it's it's but the

706
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 12: thing that came from it when I say frustrated, frustrats

707
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 12: not the way word. It was like every day went by,

708
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 12: I knew more and more why I wanted to be

709
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 12: here even more.

710
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 13: You know.

711
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 12: It wasn't like it was one of those things where

712
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 12: it's like hey, season's over, interviewed tomorrow, see you later.

713
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 12: It wasn't like that at all.

714
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 3: So Pete Carmichael Junior, You've worked with him years ago,

715
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: and he's also had a lot of experience with Sean

716
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 3: Payton and also having a head coach who's gonna call plays. Yeah,

717
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 3: tell us about your relationship with Pete, what you look

718
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 3: for from him, why he's.

719
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 12: The guy Pete Pete has been. You know, I said yesterday,

720
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 12: I don't want a lot of Joe Brady's and Pete

721
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 12: is not Joe Brady, and I said I wasn't gonna

722
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 12: hire friends. Pete is a guy that I've always looked

723
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 12: up to because he doesn't get a lot of credit

724
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 12: for a lot of the success that they had in

725
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 12: New Orleans, but Pete is a was an integral piece

726
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 12: for like they I don't know if they would have

727
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 12: been able to do what they did without Pete. Having

728
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 12: a guy that I trust, I can't be in the

729
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 12: offense or I'm not the offensive coordinator anymore. I can't

730
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 12: be in there every single moment of the day. And

731
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 12: now I have an offensive cordinerator that also understands and

732
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 12: as working on it's gonna be a whole staff, but

733
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 12: understands what that looks like. He's done that for so

734
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 12: many years where I can trust the Hey, when I'm

735
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 12: not in there, that room's gonna keep moving along. And

736
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 12: then he but he also understands the vision that I

737
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 12: have and what it looks like. And he's look, he's

738
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 12: as brilliant as they come. And I'm so excited that

739
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 12: I get to work with each other.

740
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 2: Another day we saw pop up around was Pat Meyer,

741
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 2: who's you know, a name as a potential higher for

742
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: offensive line, and we know him because he worked here

743
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 2: under coach Kromer the first time coach Kromer was here

744
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: under Rex and they led the league in rushing like

745
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: two years in a row. You guys, just let the

746
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 2: league in rushing here again. But that would seem like

747
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 2: a relatively smooth transition if that's something that's on the

748
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: radar from an O line perspective.

749
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, And I think, you know, as we continue through

750
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 12: this process, and you know, there's there's a lot of

751
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 12: good candidates at a lot of these positions, and like

752
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 12: who wouldn't want to be a part of the bills,

753
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 12: you know. And that's what's been really cool for me

754
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 12: going through it is I'm getting so many people reaching out,

755
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 12: people that I respect, being like, look, you might want

756
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 12: to consider this guy, and it's like I have history

757
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 12: with people, and there is there's a lot of there's

758
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 12: there's a lot of power in that and knowing like hey,

759
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 12: I know what these guys can do. But it's more

760
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 12: so like, hey, what does that compatibility look like with

761
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 12: the staff that we have? Like do there's people I

762
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 12: already know that are in these rooms? And so making

763
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 12: sure that I understand the personalities and the dynamic as

764
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 12: we put it together, and you know, uh, that's that's

765
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 12: the most important thing to me.

766
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 3: Yes, Like it's literally putting a puzzle together. You want

767
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 3: to you know, what you want that room to look like,

768
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 3: and you got to find the pieces that fit.

769
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 11: That's it.

770
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you feel your viewpoint of the team

771
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 2: has to ch change the most with your new title

772
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: as head coach?

773
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 12: I I tried to look calling even calling the game.

774
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 12: I called the game and look, we had coordinator meetings

775
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 12: learn it, but I called the game understanding how our

776
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 12: team was too right and understanding hey what what it

777
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 12: was going to take to win that game? And I'm

778
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 12: I wasn't perfect. There's that you know, we need to

779
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 12: improve and but there's there's so many different ways. It

780
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 12: wasn't like I was just calling the game without knowing

781
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 12: what it was going to look like on the other

782
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 12: side of the ball, without special teams. And that's part

783
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 12: of the communication and collaboration with it. And you know,

784
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 12: so I do think I have an understanding of uh

785
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 12: And look, we spent a lot of time with these guys.

786
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 12: So I might not have the deepest relationships with every

787
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 12: and every defensive player, but I have an understanding of

788
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 12: the type of players that they are and whatever, and

789
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 12: and that's what's that's what's important.

790
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: So even as an OC, you tried to take the

791
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 2: ten thousand foot view when you could in terms of

792
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 2: how it applies, how your role may be applied to

793
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: the whole. And now you just shift.

794
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 12: That absolute okay, because I wasn't I just because I'm

795
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 12: off in this corner doesn't mean Hey, when you know,

796
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 12: when the defensive coordinators talking to the head coach's I'm

797
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 12: I'm just tuned out, Like these are scenarios that oh,

798
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,479
Speaker 12: this man, we're going into this game and it's gonna

799
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 12: be tough to cover these guys. They're gonna there there,

800
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 12: it's they're gonna have the ball. We're gonna have to

801
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 12: control the line of scrimmage and control the game.

802
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: Got it.

803
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 12: That's good, that's good to know. Oh man, special teams wise,

804
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 12: we're really down. We're down. We're down a kicker, right,

805
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 12: so you know this is we're down a kicker. It

806
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 12: has you know, you know, and so like that, all

807
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 12: of those things go into play calling, and so I

808
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 12: thought that that was important and that was part of

809
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 12: the process, is going to our roster, you know, going

810
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 12: through the vision for Hey, yeah, you might have a

811
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 12: vision for what you want your offensive defense special names

812
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 12: to look like, but what does that actually look like

813
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 12: with what we have too? And so yeah, I'm excited

814
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 12: to kind of as that all kind of comes together.

815
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, job one and we're talking about, you know,

816
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: putting your staff together and getting that and sharing your

817
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 3: vision with them and them getting on board with you

818
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 3: and where you're headed. So after you get the coaching

819
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 3: staff together, and I'm sure it'll take it may take

820
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 3: a few weeks. But what's job one other than that?

821
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: What do you what do you got to work on?

822
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 3: You know with brand and the roster and the draft

823
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 3: and the you know, the calendar, the calendar keeps rolling.

824
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 4: Well.

825
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 12: To answer your question, staff is job to Job one

826
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 12: is the guys. Like when I took the job, I

827
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 12: started calling I'm calling defensive guys. I'm a troll, Bernard,

828
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 12: you know, I'm get at Oliver getting you know, I'm

829
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 12: calling these guys because I need them to know that

830
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 12: I'm not the offensive coordinator anymore. And like I said

831
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 12: it yesterday, like I'm excited to be able to celebrate

832
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 12: with the guys and practice on defense. Like I don't

833
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 12: want bad stuff to happen. I don't want turnovers and

834
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 12: take but like there has to be an element. We're

835
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 12: going to go out to practice and James Cook might

836
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 12: have the ball in the wrong arm and defense gets

837
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 12: a takeaway and I got to celebrate with them and

838
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 12: I have to obviously, you know, and no exactly right,

839
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 12: and so there's that element. But but job one is,

840
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 12: Job one is, and look, I can't I can't call

841
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 12: every single person. You know, some guys are trying to

842
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 12: figure it all out. And that's when I'm I'm every day,

843
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 12: I'm spending time making sure i'm you know, these guys

844
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 12: are are getting to know me a little bit. And

845
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 12: as before they come back and then get the staff together,

846
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 12: So balancing that act as we kind of go. But

847
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 12: I can't say it's about the players and then not

848
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 12: make it about the players. And so that's important to me.

849
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: On a much lighter note, You're you're donning of shorts

850
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 2: no matter the weather, has you know, become somewhat of

851
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: a thing. You're gonna be down on the sidelines now,

852
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 2: and as you know, there is sideline gear that coaching

853
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: staffs have to wear. Is it worth you know, getting

854
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 2: with Jeff Massurich and maybe lobbying the league to see

855
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 2: if shorts could be allowable.

856
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: Maybe even for the preseason at least for the work

857
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: Capri Sure for sure.

858
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 12: Maybe maybe the just we just the whole or it's

859
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 12: just like an organizational change across the board, right like

860
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 12: we s we we all show up, we all show

861
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 12: up on the sideline.

862
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: Okay, preseason and training camp? Why not the preseason? Know

863
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: about December? I will, I will?

864
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 12: Well yeah, see it was easy for me to It's

865
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 12: easy for me to say that. But like I wear

866
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 12: shorts and then I walk inside you or I go upstairs.

867
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 12: You know, it's not like I'm living out on the

868
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 12: sideline to it.

869
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 3: I mean that's different. We had the conversation. You came

870
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 3: in here in shorts. I'm I'm wearing long John's under

871
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 3: my prot So yeah, just a different era.

872
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 12: It's a matter of time before I look like Tom

873
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 12: Kaughlin like and it's like it's it's gonna happen. Yeah,

874
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 12: it's I know what that's like. Yeah, So it's it's

875
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,479
Speaker 12: when I was down. When I was down and coaching

876
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 12: quarterbacks down there, I got cold.

877
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,120

Speaker 1: here we are our number two.

889
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 2: Good conversation there with Bill's head coach Joe Brady. You

890
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 2: know he's got a lot of work, so we appreciate

891
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: the time UH spend with us. To kind of communicate

892
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: with the fans out there a little bit uh here

893
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 2: in Buffalo and Rochester where our show airs.

894
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:51,959
Speaker 1: So that was good.

895
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: And I found it interesting that he said coaching staff's

896
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: number two. I gotta get in touch with these players,

897
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: particularly those on the defensive side of the ball with

898
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: whom he has had less contact then you know, guys

899
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 2: on the offensive side. So I thought that was an

900
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 2: interesting approach, you know, making sure it makes sense, gets

901
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 2: through the.

902
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 3: It's an it's an experienced move, and it seems apropos

903
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: for the job that he's taking over.

904
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 4: That. Yeah.

905
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 3: I mean I'm I'm a former player, and it's not

906
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 3: all that common for somebody to come in and do

907
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 3: do that. And my you know, it is about the

908
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 3: player's no question about it. I Mean, these guys got

909
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 3: to go out tee it up and do all that.

910
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 3: But you know, to have to have the head coach

911
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 3: say that and do that and and you know reach

912
00:46:54,480 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 3: out to those guys, that's big because the coach is

913
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 3: it's he's above your pay no matter what you're making,

914
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 3: he's above your pay grade. Right, he calls the shots

915
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 3: and he's gonna lead. So to have him reach out

916
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 3: personally to some of these guys. I'm sure it went

917
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 3: a long way.

918
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Let's get back to the phones though.

919
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: Is it's an OBL Friday fan mail bag?

00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: Yep, you thanks.

928
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 14: So I just want to share a story about my

929
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 14: one and on the interaction with Joe Brady. So it

930
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 14: is Pittsburgh Wild Card game at halftime, and my girlfriend

931
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 14: and her friend and I are, you know, walking around

932
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 14: the edge of the stadium to go meet up with

933
00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 14: some friends. And you know, we're loading up snowball and

934
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 14: we're throwing him and my girlfriend and her friend load

935
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 14: up some snowballs to throw the Pittsburgh fan. We're doing

936
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 14: it playfully. And as soon as they load up some

937
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 14: snowballs and throw them at this Pittsburgh fan, a golf

938
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 14: cart drives by and Joe Brady's on the back of

939
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 14: the golf cart and he sees that happen, and he

940
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 14: gave us this look and he had the biggest grin

941
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 14: on his face, and you could just tell he loved

942
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 14: being where he was, you know, with all of his heart.

943
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 14: And you know, I'm glad he's our head coach. I

944
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 14: know a lot of people are skeptical right now, and

945
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 14: I mean, how couldn't you be. I think any coach

946
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 14: you should be skeptical. I mean it's a new head

947
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 14: coach after you know, nine years. So I just want

948
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 14: to wish Joe the best of luck. And you know,

949
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 14: you know, I love love you, Joe, and you know,

950
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 14: go bills.

951
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Joe. From one Joe to another. There.

952
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't argue that the guy loves the game.

953
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no argument. The guy lives, sleeps, breathes,

954
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: rarely sleeps football.

955
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: It is all of who he is.

956
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: Outside of being a family man, right like it consumes him.

957
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's a lifer. I mean, as you know

958
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 3: these guys, I've he's living the lifestyle. And this is

959
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 3: one more step, you know, one more immersion deeper into it, right,

960
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 3: I mean, now you're a head coach at the top,

961
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 3: and I think these guys also, the good ones that

962
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 3: you've seen, and like Joe himself, with Sean Payton and

963
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:37,479
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott and the other places he has worked, he's

964
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 3: gonna be that kind of guy for one of these

965
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 3: young guys.

966
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: He come.

967
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 3: There's gonna be guys in this building you'll never see

968
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 3: and you'll just hear about that. Yeah, back in twenty

969
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 3: twenty seven, twenty twenty six through twenty twenty eight, he

970
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 3: was with the Bills and he was not out of

971
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 3: that and he was a quality control guy. And now

972
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 3: he's a coordinator for this other team somewhere else. You

973
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 3: give these guys opportunities and they see how it's done

974
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 3: from the bottom up, and guys like Joe know what

975
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 3: that's like to come up through the runt, through the ranks, Jack,

976
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott and all the other any other guy you

977
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 3: can name.

978
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: Just thirty six years of age, though, Isn't it crazy?

979
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: Like twenty five years ago, a thirty six year old

980
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 2: wouldn't even come close to being a head coach, maybe

981
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 2: even a coordinator.

982
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: Thirty six year old a coordinator.

983
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 3: I have three kids that are as old or older

984
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 3: than he is.

985
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 2: I mean twenty five years ago. That wasn't even a consideration.

986
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 3: He is, he is, Oh yeah, he's closer to the

987
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 3: age of my grandchildren than he is to me.

988
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, there's there's a dose the reality for him.

989
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm in that frame of I'm in that lifestyle though,

990
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 3: I'm in that you know, season of life. It doesn't

991
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 3: bother me like it wants. He's it. It's a world

992
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 3: for the young people. It's a profession for young people

993
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 3: as well. I mean it's you see guys do it

994
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 3: like Andy Reid, Bill Belichick did it, Marv did it

995
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 3: till he was seventy. You see some guys some Pete

996
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 3: Carroll was this year. He's maybe the oldest head coach

997
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 3: since who you know, Stanley Hallis, George Hallis, you know,

998
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 3: these guys that have done it that long. It's a

999
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 3: young man's game. And that's why in this day and age,

1000
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 3: you see guy like my friend Frank Reich, who's you know,

1001
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 3: thinking about getting back into the coordinator's jobs, and other

1002
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:33,919
Speaker 3: guys who have done it, they hesitate to jump back

1003
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 3: into it as a coordinator because that is a grind.

1004
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 3: It is a it is a meat grinder, and once

1005
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 3: they've been a head coach, made some life changing money,

1006
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 3: and they've kind of got a family that's up either

1007
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 3: growing or is in the midst of growing. It's hard,

1008
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 3: it's hard to go back and start, you know, take

1009
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 3: take a couple of steps back, go to the coordinator

1010
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 3: route and do it. Got to be who you are,

1011
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 3: and that's what most of these guys will tell you.

1012
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bobby on a celle next. What's up, Bobby, Hey, guys.

1013
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 3: How's it going.

1014
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 15: Everything's going well up there in Buffalo. You gotta stay

1015
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 15: warm cold down here as well. So, uh, you know,

1016
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 15: I've been listening and obviously a lot's going on in

1017
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 15: the last couple of weeks. I think Joe Brady, uh,

1018
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 15: I will time will tell if he was the right

1019
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 15: move or not. I wish we would have talked to uh,

1020
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 15: you know, a couple of the other guys that we

1021
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 15: we guys that are still still still playing. Their teams

1022
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 15: are still playing, so we're not able to talk to him.

1023
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 16: But you know, we'll, I think keeping it in house

1024
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 16: and and the culture and stuff will will We'll see

1025
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 16: how that plays out, but hopefully, you know, we'll we'll

1026
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 16: utilize key on a little bit differently. I think, uh,

1027
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 16: you know, putting him and I don't know very much

1028
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 16: about football outside of Madden, you know, and a little

1029
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 16: bit of high school stuff. But you know, maybe maybe

1030
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 16: utilizing him and in some quick slants and and I

1031
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 16: mean he's a big guy, keeping him hitting him quick

1032
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 16: and and.

1033
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 15: And stride, I think would be a little bit of

1034
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 15: a change, you know, ligning him on the outside of

1035
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 15: adult and Cacadian or dogs, you know, crossing slant routes

1036
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 15: by might might give him a little bit more potential.

1037
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 15: And then also these refs, you know, the accountability of

1038
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 15: the refs.

1039
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 13: Time and time.

1040
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 15: Again, the Bills have had I don't know, three or

1041
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 15: four games where you know, one or two calls go

1042
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 15: the right way and and the way they should go

1043
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 15: the game is different. What happens to these refs and

1044
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,479
Speaker 15: how are they you know, is there is there any

1045
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 15: training for them during the offseason that they go through.

1046
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 15: Is there any accountability that they that they're they're they're

1047
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 15: upheld to, you know, what happens when these bad calls

1048
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 15: are made and things? Because because what there's been twice

1049
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 15: now that Bills have have come out and played games

1050
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 15: and the NFL has had to change the rules.

1051
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, understood, Bobby. Yeah, we can help you with that.

1052
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 2: They do get graded by coaches and by the officiating

1053
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 2: department through the course of the year. As we've told

1054
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 2: you before, the highest graded officials get rewarded with playoff assignments.

1055
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: That's when they mix the crews from the regular season

1056
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 2: with the highest rated officials. But at the end of

1057
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 2: the day, they're human and they still make mistakes and

1058
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 2: some are disciplined for it, some are demoted for it.

1059
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 2: I know there was an official last year. Nobody from

1060
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 2: that Kansas City game got fired. We were wrong about that.

1061
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 2: It was actually two other officials from a different crew

1062
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 2: that got canned last year. And they usually get sent

1063
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 2: back down to the college ranks.

1064
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 3: Well, they're just not hired back to do NFL games, right,

1065
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 3: Some of these guys do college games as well, I mean,

1066
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 3: but when they can, and that's where most of the NFL,

1067
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 3: if not all, the NFL officials come from, with the

1068
00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 3: college ranks.

1069
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 2: But two officials were fired last spring. I think this

1070
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 2: Usually those happen around April. My guess is that's when

1071
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 2: the process is completed of reviewing the body of work

1072
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 2: of each and every one of the officials, and then

1073
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 2: decisions in the league's officiating department are made. So yeah,

1074
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 2: there are consequences to not, you know, doing a good

1075
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 2: job as graded by the league's coaches and teams and

1076
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: by the officiating department.

1077
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: And yes, we're with you, Bobby.

1078
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 2: We would hope that in some way these calls that

1079
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 2: have gone against the Bills, particularly in the playoffs the

1080
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 2: last couple of years, will we'll go the other way

1081
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 2: for once. So we'll see if and when that happens.

1082
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 2: To Bob in Ontario next, what's up, Bob?

1083
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 13: Hey, Chris?

1084
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 17: How you doing so good? Good Steve, It's a pleasure

1085
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 17: to be on the phone with you. I'm glad. I'm

1086
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 17: glad that Joe come on. I like the fact that

1087
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 17: we have somebody internal. And what I like most about

1088
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 17: Joe Brady is he knows.

1089
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 13: What it looks like.

1090
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 17: And I know it's all it was an LSU, But

1091
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 17: with Burls and Chase and Jefferson, he realizes the tools

1092
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 17: that Josh will meet and you know, with Jezer said

1093
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 17: to say, oh yeah, he gets those tools and you've

1094
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 17: got to go get them in the draft. And but

1095
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,280
Speaker 17: he knows what it looks like. And I think having

1096
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 17: that experience and there's no Doug, He's compassionate for the

1097
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 17: Bills in the game, and I just think that's going

1098
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 17: to help that he knows what it looks like and

1099
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 17: what it's going to take for Josh to help Josh

1100
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 17: get over that hurdle.

1101
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean in some cases those kinds of

1102
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 2: comparisons are a little bit of apples and oranges. I mean,

1103
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 2: you're talking about a receiving corps that had Jamar Chase,

1104
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson and Terras Marshall and if I'm not wrong,

1105
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 2: had Clyde Edwards in the backfield. There's about twenty l

1106
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 2: players from that team.

1107
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a different age and at a different time.

1108
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: That's extraordinary skill.

1109
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: Though you're talking about two players that were top twenty

1110
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 2: draft picks, Chase and Jefferson. I think Jefferson might have

1111
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 2: been the twenty first pick.

1112
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 3: I think what college particularly guys that come from big

1113
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 3: time programs and have now made a name from It's

1114
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 3: a little different now with the nil and how the

1115
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 3: players are paid and you can you can just grab

1116
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 3: a play. It's open free agency every off season, so

1117
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 3: it's a little It's very different now in college ranks,

1118
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 3: but back when, when you're talking about it was college

1119
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 3: coaches could get better players than everybody else and they

1120
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 3: could stockpile better talent and then they would just run

1121
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 3: plays and their guys would just win. And they could

1122
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 3: do that on a week to week basis, not every game,

1123
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 3: but it was the way, kind of the atmosphere of it.

1124
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 3: When you get to the next level, the NFL level,

1125
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 3: you learn that you have to deploy your personnel in

1126
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 3: a way that is most beneficial to the talent you've

1127
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 3: got to the matchup you have where your good players

1128
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 3: match up against their bad players, and where your strengths

1129
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 3: is an offense and personnel are. That's one thing that

1130
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 3: you have to do in the NFL that maybe you

1131
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 3: didn't in college up until the last handful of years.

1132
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 3: The NFL is about coaching your strengths and limiting your

1133
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 3: weaknesses by coaching that as well. And Joe's this offense

1134
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 3: last year, and the conversation is what it is. They

1135
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 3: were a top five offense, leading the league in rushing,

1136
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 3: and they were number two in the entire NFL in

1137
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 3: explosive plays with no alpha, no all pro or pro

1138
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 3: bowl wide receivers none, So that's a pretty good trick

1139
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 3: by coaching staff offensively. Now hits his job to do

1140
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 3: that again even better and do it on the other

1141
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 3: side of the ball, right, so that falls under his umbrella.

1142
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 3: So it's going to be very interesting to see where

1143
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 3: this thing evolves and how fast is going to happen.

1144
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 2: That is why I did like hearing him say when

1145
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 2: he was here in studio with us last segment that

1146
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 2: even as a coordinator, he was trying to take the

1147
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 2: all encompassing viewpoint of the team because what may or

1148
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 2: may not happen on defense or special teams within the

1149
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 2: scope of the game plan and who they're going against

1150
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 2: and who they have at their disposal based on player

1151
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 2: health impacts how he's going to call the game on offense.

1152
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of people reference the playoff game

1153
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 2: against the Chiefs where you had aj Klein off the

1154
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 2: couch playing middle linebacker. No Christian Benford, no Terrell Bernard,

1155
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 2: no Gabriel Davis. It's gonna like it was very clear

1156
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 2: the game plan on offense was to control the clock

1157
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 2: and time of possession and give Patrick Mahomes the fewest

1158
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 2: amount of possessions possible. It completely impacted what the game

1159
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 2: plan was going to be on offense, just to use

1160
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 2: an example, and it sounds as though he always took

1161
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 2: that all encompassing viewpoint even as an OC. Hopefully that

1162
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 2: makes the transition a head coach all that more familiar,

1163
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 2: knowing he absolutely positively has to take the ten thousand

1164
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 2: foot view every week, right, So hopefully that provides for

1165
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 2: a smooth transition for him.

1166
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: Back to the phones, we go into Ken in Buffalo.

1167
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: It's up Ken.

1168
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 9: After now Sella's how's everybody doing the great going good?

1169
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 9: Excuse me? I just wanted to chime in on, of course,

1170
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 9: the recent events, namely the introduction of Joe Brady as

1171
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 9: a new head coach, And I say, oh, of course,

1172
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 9: I'm a strong partisan Bills Tran, But I had my skepticism,

1173
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 9: and I conveyed it even to you all on this

1174
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 9: particular show. But I would have to admit when I

1175
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 9: saw his introductory press conference, I came away with a

1176
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 9: better feeling. I'm not not even enough to believe that

1177
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 9: a head coach's introductory press conference will necessarily result in wins,

1178
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 9: but I suppose it was the level of not just confidence,

1179
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 9: but this sense of urgency, this intensity, this energy, and

1180
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 9: as when it's the confidence. It reminded me of a

1181
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 9: very unique exchange I had with Joe Brady when I

1182
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 9: was at a Bills game a couple of years ago.

1183
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 9: It was a primetime matchup against the Jaguars, and so

1184
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 9: my seats were not far from the administrative building, so

1185
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 9: this wasn't terribly far off from kickoff. And so this

1186
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 9: golf cart is riding passed me to my left, and

1187
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,479
Speaker 9: who's on the back but Joe Brady. So I hollered

1188
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 9: his name. I was up Joe, and he looked at me.

1189
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 9: He nod his head, smile, and he winked, and he

1190
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 9: exuded this confidence once again. This is like not too

1191
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 9: far from kickoff, and we proceeded to really crush the

1192
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 9: Jaguars that night. He was really in his quote unquote

1193
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,439
Speaker 9: proverbial bag. I think we scored over forty points that night.

1194
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 9: But I said all that to say, if he could

1195
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 9: bring that level of not just calmness, but this this

1196
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 9: sense of we can do, this is confidence, and this

1197
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 9: team buys in, then this may have a very different

1198
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 9: set of outcomes. That's what I'm hoping for. Having said

1199
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 9: as much I think his youthfulness is also a plus.

1200
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 9: You know, he's relatively young. I think that can in

1201
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 9: fact makes him even more relatable to his players. You

1202
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 9: saw some of that and those interactions for those players

1203
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 9: who were there, his ability to you know, to dapt

1204
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,959
Speaker 9: them up and to connect with them in a way

1205
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 9: that will hopefully make his coach and play a relationship

1206
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 9: even stronger. Also like the fact that he's intent on

1207
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 9: bringing an aggressive approach to the defense. In too many instances,

1208
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 9: I thought we played two soft, particularly on third and long.

1209
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 9: His recognition that we need to get the ball back

1210
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 9: to the office as well as the close games out

1211
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 9: is encouraging. And lastly, I'll say this, I am concerned

1212
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 9: about one element. As much as Brandon Bean in the

1213
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 9: organization talked about getting a CEO to serve as the

1214
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 9: head coach. I mean, how much of a CEO can

1215
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 9: he be if Brandon Bean has to co sign on

1216
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 9: his as high as particularly assistant coaches in the life.

1217
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 9: So on the latter part, I'll defer to you all

1218
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 9: to shed some light on that particular arrangement and how,

1219
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 9: in my view that could undercut some of this notion

1220
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 9: of his being a CEO. In the strict set. So

1221
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 9: thank you guys against for taking my call. How paused

1222
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 9: for the call?

1223
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: Thanks thanks, Thanks Ken, good call. Yeah, you're right.

1224
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 3: The confidence and energy and urgency and intensity and the

1225
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 3: energy is what a lot of people will notice about Joe.

1226
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 3: They love how it felt to listen to him talk

1227
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 3: about the team and the town and his job here.

1228
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 3: Certainly he made a good impression for a lot of people,

1229
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 3: and you know, kind of talked a lot of people

1230
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 3: off the edge, right off the brink because they didn't

1231
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 3: like it at the beginning. But he did a great

1232
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 3: job of stating his case as to why he's the guy,

1233
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 3: and Brandon Bean did great job of supporting that, and

1234
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 3: it was Yeah, it was good to see, no question

1235
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 3: about it. And I'm with you, it's it's not about

1236
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 3: the offense now, it's about the other side of the ball.

1237
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 3: You scoring thirty points in a in a divisional playoff

1238
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 3: game and you still got to go the distance of

1239
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 3: the field and score win. You got to get better

1240
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 3: on the other side of the ball. And I think

1241
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 3: being aggressive is always a good thing in football, always

1242
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 3: until there's an absolutely obvious, obviously smarter thing to do,

1243
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 3: like kneel down until then be aggressive. And I think

1244
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:49,959
Speaker 3: that's a that's a great point you made as well.

1245
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 3: And for the CEO thing, everything that happens at the

1246
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 3: level we're talking about with the head coach and the

1247
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 3: general manager. You're talking about having Brandon being signed off it.

1248
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 3: Brandon Bean is not going to second guess his coaching candidates,

1249
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 3: but a guy like Joe may need some a longer

1250
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 3: list to go to for some of the the analytics guys,

1251
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 3: all of those guys, I mean, I don't know who

1252
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 3: keeps track of that stuff, but there's a staff of

1253
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know it was there three hundred

1254
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 3: people working in this building. A hundred of them are

1255
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 3: on the football side of it, right, You've got to

1256
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 3: have a lot of guys that you know, Joe Brady

1257
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 3: may not talk to a lot of those people, so

1258
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 3: you get a lot of help. And I think you

1259
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 3: heard that in the press conference that the team took

1260
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 3: such a beating over because nobody liked the way it sounded.

1261
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 3: But it's a collaborative effort up at that level. The

1262
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 3: football side of it falls largely on the head coach

1263
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 3: and his staff. The players everybody like that, but the

1264
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 3: personnel and the process is collaborative in nature. Collaborative the

1265
01:05:55,880 --> 01:06:00,919
Speaker 3: draft player evaluation, the needs of the team, recap even

1266
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 3: it's a collaborative effort. And that's why Joe being able

1267
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 3: to chime in and have a voice in those kind

1268
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 3: of meetings and see things from what Brownie says, the

1269
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 3: ten thousand foot level is crucial. But having conversations about

1270
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 3: his staff. And I don't think Brandon Bean is looking

1271
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 3: over his shoulder the way you put it, or he

1272
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 3: doesn't have to sign off on it.

1273
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: I think.

1274
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people in this building who

1275
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 3: have earned their stripes and are worthy to be listened to.

1276
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 3: And Joe Brady knows it, and they know it about

1277
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 3: Joe Brady, and so does Brandon Bean. They listen to

1278
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 3: people in this building. It's not smart to have three

1279
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 3: hundred people who all agree on one conclusion. You need

1280
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 3: somebody who is devil's advocate. You need somebody to jump

1281
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 3: on the table and pound their fists and say no,

1282
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 3: this is wrong, we got to do something different. You

1283
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 3: need voices like that. And so I don't think I think,

1284
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 3: as far as much as you heard the word alignment,

1285
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 3: the alignment means we can't also means we need to

1286
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 3: have different points of view in the building working with

1287
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 3: us for the same goal. And I think that's what

1288
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 3: CEO is a head coach needs to understand, and he is,

1289
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 3: so I'm I'm that's the way it works at the

1290
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 3: NFL level.

1291
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't really have anything to add to that.

1292
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 3: So I kind of went on and on. I was

1293
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 3: sorry about that.

1294
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: No, that's okay. I thought it was well explained.

1295
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 2: So no need to repeat any of what you just

1296
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 2: said because you kind of covered all of it.

1297
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 1: So we'll move along and go to Steve in Syracuse.

1298
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 7: What's up, Steve, I'm just concerned about the defensive coordinator.

1299
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 7: How can we get expecting then it's aer enable the

1300
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 7: next few days or a week or weeks.

1301
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, hard, Steve, But you know I would say

1302
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,479
Speaker 1: within a week, oh for sure.

1303
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 3: And I would say probably over the weekend.

1304
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could happen that soon.

1305
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 3: I would That's what I think. I could be wrong

1306
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 3: because there there are a lot and there's a lot

1307
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 3: of guys out there who could do a good job

1308
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 3: at coordinating the Bill's defense.

1309
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 2: I mean, some of the names that have surfaced are

1310
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 2: Jim Leonard, you know from Denver staff. And then the

1311
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 2: Jim Schwartz situation seems very much in flux with his

1312
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 2: status in Cleveland after he got passed over for the

1313
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 2: head coaching job, and word there is he's leaving, doesn't

1314
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 2: want to go back to the organization, so that would

1315
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 2: conceivably make him available, although you may have to work

1316
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 2: something out with the Browns, you know, and then after that,

1317
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 2: we'll see what other names surface between now and then. Right,

1318
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 2: but the reports are that Leonard is interviewing today in Baltimore.

1319
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 2: We'll see if he's here for an interview in the

1320
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 2: coming days and what that ultimately leads to. So yeah,

1321
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 2: sometimes those things, it doesn't look like anything's happening, and

1322
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 2: then bang, all of a sudden, somebody's hired. And then

1323
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 2: sometimes a few more days.

1324
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and then you've got guys like the guy

1325
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh has got Terrell Terrell Austin who's now out

1326
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 3: of work because Mike Tomlin left. Lou Ana Arumo's out there,

1327
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 3: they got, you know, all these advanced.

1328
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: Under contract with the Colts, and you know, they're.

1329
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 3: You can ask to talk to anybody, so as teams

1330
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 3: can also say no, and they can say no unless

1331
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 3: you're offering him a promotion, which would be assistant head

1332
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 3: coach kind of thing, which who cares? Yeah, offer what

1333
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 3: if he's the right guy? Right, So, and then you

1334
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 3: go to all the teams that have switched switched head coaches.

1335
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 3: Those coordinators are automatically available unless they've been elevated to

1336
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 3: the head coaching job.

1337
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, as two head coaching jobs

1338
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 2: remain open, Raiders and Cardinals. Clinton Kobiak the perceived reason

1339
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,759
Speaker 2: why the last guy to get a I can interview

1340
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 2: as both those teams interviewed him once already. Those could

1341
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 2: happen this weekend, meaning second interviews. We'll have to wait

1342
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 2: and see. Break time for us here, more of your

1343
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 2: phone calls when we get back on One Bills Live,

1344
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 2: presented by Colia Health.

1345
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 18: It's Buffalo Bills, Brady, All.

1346
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: Right back here on One Bill's Live.

1347
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 2: Time now for this week's scoop of the Week, presented

1348
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 2: by Blue Bunny, the official frozen treat of the Buffalo Bill.

1349
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty appropriate to have.

1350
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 2: A frozen treating profiled this time of the year because

1351
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 2: we are all frozen.

1352
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 3: But we do have a scoop. I don't know if

1353
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 3: you heard.

1354
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: A new head coach. Yeah, we do have a new

1355
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: head coach. It's Joe Brady, no kidding. I guess the

1356
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: other scoop we could provide.

1357
01:10:55,600 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 2: You with is the defensive core nator candidate names that

1358
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 2: have been floating about. Jim Schwartz, we told you, Jim Leonard,

1359
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 2: we told you, and also Raheem Morris, the former head

1360
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 2: coach of the Atlanta Falcons. His name has also surfaced

1361
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 2: as options potentially to be interviewed by the Bills for

1362
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 2: their defensive coordinator position. As we know, former defensive coordinator

1363
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 2: Bobby Babbage has already accepted a job in Green Bay,

1364
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 2: so we know the role is changing. And I would

1365
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 2: imagine the balance of the defensive staff will knowing that

1366
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 2: the top guy on that side of the ball has

1367
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 2: already left. So we'll see. I mean, maybe there are

1368
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 2: some who are retained. I know Jamil Edaie, the cornerbacks coach,

1369
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 2: has left to go coach the Dolphins in Miami in

1370
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 2: the same role, and I would anticipate we'll see more

1371
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 2: and more of those in the coming days. It's just

1372
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 2: kind of how the business works. It's not easy, it's

1373
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 2: not fun. It's not the fun. Part of the business.

1374
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 2: But I know a lot of these guys know what

1375
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 2: they sign up for, and unfortunately this is part of it.

1376
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, it's this ten openings is big. It's a

1377
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 3: big number. Yeah, it's a big nub. Usually it's six.

1378
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 2: And that has an obvious trickle down effect because all

1379
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 2: those coaches are coaching twenty five to thirty men member staffs,

1380
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 2: So it impacts all of those people as well.

1381
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're talking two hundred people guys that are out

1382
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 3: full assistance out and then you've got you've got quality

1383
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 3: control coaches, you've got analytics people. All those people get rinsed,

1384
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 3: rinsed out.

1385
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it could stretch all the way to

1386
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 2: other departments on the football side, you know, whether it's

1387
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 2: strength and conditioning, athletic training, because the new head coach

1388
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 2: might have like a strength and conditioning guy he loves

1389
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 2: and he wants to bring that guy in, even if

1390
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 2: the previous guy did a great job.

1391
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: It's just who the head coach likes.

1392
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it just brings an untoward amount of

1393
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 2: change and it's tough, but you know, the coaches kind

1394
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 2: of know that that's the profession. Eight oh three five

1395
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 2: point fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty.

1396
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 2: So that's your Scoop of the Week, presented by Blue Bunny.

1397
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 2: But we got to get back to the phones on

1398
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 2: the obl Friday fan mail bag, and leading us off

1399
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 2: in this segment is Jack out in Rochester.

1400
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 1: What do you got for as Jack? You're on One

1401
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Bill's Live.

1402
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 19: I'm wondering if maybe this coming season we should slow

1403
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 19: play a little bit the Super Bowl or bust mentality

1404
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 19: and kind of just get back to let's having fun

1405
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 19: play ball, because last year when people were complaining that

1406
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 19: the team was flat in the first half of these

1407
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 19: games and such, to me, they almost looked like they

1408
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 19: were too tight, afraid to make a mistake. And I

1409
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 19: think it where is on the team, And I think

1410
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 19: it even showed in Josh Allen's play towards the end

1411
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 19: of the year. We're young, characteristically uncharacteristically choked on their

1412
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 19: one throw on the Eagles and he was pretty wipe.

1413
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 19: Were wired in that game against Denver? What do you think?

1414
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there could be something in that. And certainly

1415
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 3: the thing the times you're talking about when they come

1416
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 3: out flat against Miami, when they come out a little

1417
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 3: bit dull against Atlanta games where you think you should win,

1418
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 3: and certainly, given the entirety of the season, there's no

1419
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 3: question you were the better team overall and you couldn't

1420
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 3: get it done. That has to come down to some

1421
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 3: sort of mindset, some sort of thing in preparation. You

1422
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 3: can lay that at the feet of the head coach

1423
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 3: if you want to, or maybe the player leadership of

1424
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 3: the team, but something in those games is missing. And

1425
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 3: one of the traits you see about Sean McDermott teams

1426
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 3: is the way the season ended and somewhere and there's

1427
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 3: always a two game losing streak, right. They always got

1428
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:54,720
Speaker 3: off to a fast start, four and one usually, but

1429
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 3: then they'd have a back to back losses in a

1430
01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 3: point and then you know, now they're winning the they're

1431
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 3: gonna do well. But they're not the one seed and

1432
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 3: they're not even the conversation they're chasing down the Miami

1433
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 3: Dolphins two years ago. They're three down with five to play,

1434
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:10,599
Speaker 3: and they walk them down and win the division.

1435
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: But again, they weren't the one seed.

1436
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 3: But they're not even they're not the one seed. They

1437
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 3: were the two seed a couple of times. Stuff like

1438
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 3: that adds up. You've got to hit on a lot

1439
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 3: of positives during the regular season, week after week after

1440
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 3: week to get the one seed. You got to win

1441
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 3: games you're supposed to win, for sure, and never lose

1442
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 3: a game you're you're not supposed to lose. I guess

1443
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 3: that's the same thing and reverse. But you can't lose

1444
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 3: games you're supposed to win. And when it comes down

1445
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 3: to it, a lot of times it is about the

1446
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 3: way they show up. It is about the way they

1447
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 3: execute early in the game. And you can put that

1448
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 3: totally on the players, but to me, it's a little

1449
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,640
Speaker 3: bit on their motivation and how they run up to

1450
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 3: that game Monday through Saturday. That's a lot of what

1451
01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 3: it is and whether there's something different in the air,

1452
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 3: whether there's a sense of different attitude from you know,

1453
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:09,480
Speaker 3: the football staff, the coaching staff, or whatever. It manifests

1454
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 3: itself that way. And we saw that time and time again,

1455
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 3: and we saw the season end kind of the same

1456
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 3: way every year. That one last play, that one last penalty,

1457
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 3: that one last missspot, one last drop pass, one last

1458
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 3: one last play where the Bills come up short in

1459
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 3: a game that probably should have had vastly different circumstances.

1460
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 3: To begin with, it should have been in a different venue,

1461
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 3: you know, and and thereby also a different opponent.

1462
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1463
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 3: So all of that being said, we'll see slow playing

1464
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 3: the super Bowl whatever.

1465
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

1466
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 3: If you think talking about the super Bowl in training

1467
01:16:56,040 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 3: camp somehow puts the hecks on you or changes your

1468
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 3: mindset enough to affect you on game day, okay, then

1469
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 3: don't do it. I have a hard time getting that.

1470
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: I think I think football players are wired differently.

1471
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's super I think it's silly superstition.

1472
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 1: I go in supremely confident, yeah, every game.

1473
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 3: And that goes for teams that are well I've never

1474
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 3: been on an O one sixteen team, but I was

1475
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 3: on some pretty bad football teams. And you always think

1476
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,880
Speaker 3: you can win, you really do, and you believe it,

1477
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 3: you know it. That's the way they're wired.

1478
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Rick in California next. What's up Rick?

1479
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 13: Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. Thank you again for taking the call.

1480
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: Sure, so, I.

1481
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 13: Kind of want to piggyback a little bit on the

1482
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 13: last call where he kind of took a little bit

1483
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 13: of my thing there. But I think at the end

1484
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 13: of the day, I mean the coaching. I really can't

1485
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 13: wait to see what Joe Brady does. I am a

1486
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 13: fan of that guy, you know, just let it be known.

1487
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 13: But I believe our biggest asset and our biggest problem

1488
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 13: lies with Josh Allen. I mean, the guy is Superman.

1489
01:17:57,880 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 13: Don't get me wrong.

1490
01:17:58,600 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 4: I love the guy.

1491
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 13: I would never want to replace him with anybody else.

1492
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 13: I think he's the generational talent that we've never had,

1493
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 13: you know, since Jim Kelly. But that being said, whenever

1494
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 13: we get down to the deep playoffs, something in Josh

1495
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,639
Speaker 13: Allen's head just reverts back to you know, school yard

1496
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 13: hero ball, which I don't understand. You know, I believe

1497
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,439
Speaker 13: you said it right Brown. He Well, you gave a

1498
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 13: while ago you said the term that we should be

1499
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:27,679
Speaker 13: looking for first downs, not touchdowns, right, So I believe

1500
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 13: with Josh Allington actually adapt that mentality when we get

1501
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 13: to the championship or divisional A round games. For some reason,

1502
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 13: he always wants to go for the extra play and

1503
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 13: get what he can when he all Yet he has

1504
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,560
Speaker 13: tons of people in plays open right. So at the

1505
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 13: end of the day, I don't believe it's a coaching

1506
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 13: issue at all. It has to be Josh Allen and

1507
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 13: the mindset that he's in the day of the game,

1508
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 13: because if he does start off flat or like you

1509
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 13: guys like to say, or it comes out slow, then

1510
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 13: that's the way that the day is going to depict.

1511
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 13: But there's really no way to coach that right because

1512
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 13: this is his ninth year. I mean, there's really not

1513
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 13: much more maturity I believe Josh Allen can get. But

1514
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 13: how do you coach him to get first downs, not

1515
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 13: touchdowns and of such critical game that we always seem

1516
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 13: to drop short of and given the referees an option

1517
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 13: to screw us over.

1518
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 3: If you want to coach it, yeah, thanks, if you

1519
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 3: want to coach that out at Josh Allen, do me

1520
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 3: a favor. Don't put him on the field every big

1521
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,600
Speaker 3: game with two minutes to go and he's got to

1522
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 3: score a touchdown to win. Don't do that. Stop giving him,

1523
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 3: stop making him do that. Get a stop defensively. Once

1524
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 3: in a while, he scored, They turned it over five

1525
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 3: times and still scored thirty points.

1526
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: Don't don't put him.

1527
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 3: Don't don't don't let the other team get the lead

1528
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 3: with four minutes to go or two minutes to go,

1529
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 3: and then expect Josh to come in and not play

1530
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 3: hero ball. Try that coach that way.

1531
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 2: I think I think it's I think you're over simplifying

1532
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,600
Speaker 2: a little, Rick. There's so much more that goes into

1533
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 2: the outcome of a football game. Yes, the quarterback has

1534
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 2: a big hand in it because his ball, his hand

1535
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 2: is on the football every snap on offense, you know,

1536
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 2: with wildcat exceptions aside. So yes, he's he plays a

1537
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,639
Speaker 2: major role. But there are other factors at play too.

1538
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 2: And you know, you need to look no further than

1539
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 2: the Seahawks team that's representing the NFC in the Super Bowl.

1540
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:38,640
Speaker 2: You know, they have an above average quarterback, an unbelievable

1541
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:43,719
Speaker 2: receiver in Jackson Smith and Jigba, a competent running game

1542
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:47,679
Speaker 2: that can support the offense, and a lights out defense

1543
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 2: with uncommon athleticism. I think eight of the eleven starters

1544
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 2: on defense have hit twenty miles per hour as a

1545
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 2: top speed this season. And I guess it's and they

1546
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 2: and they have a dynamic return man in Rashid Shaheed.

1547
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: Who they traded for at the deadline.

1548
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, and I'm not trying to indicate

1549
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 2: that Sam Donald's Josh Allen Josh Allen's a superior player,

1550
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 2: but Sam Donald's pretty good player. And my point is

1551
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 2: they have one of the more complete teams in the league.

1552
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 2: And that's where Buffalo's got to move this roster to.

1553
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 2: They have to become a more complete team. It can't

1554
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:30,640
Speaker 2: be Josh and a bunch of guys. It's got to

1555
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 2: be Josh, James Cook, some other elite talent and capable

1556
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 2: depth on this team too, is another thing that has

1557
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 2: to happen because we've seen how injuries have crippled this

1558
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 2: team's chances year after year when they get to the postseason.

1559
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 2: So it's not only raising the level of the frontline

1560
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 2: players collectively on this roster, it's raising the quality of

1561
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:53,920
Speaker 2: the depth behind them.

1562
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:55,680
Speaker 3: You know a lot. You want to know what a

1563
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 3: Super Bowl team looks like, Look at Seattle. They scored

1564
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 3: forty one against San Francesco. San Francisco scored six, then

1565
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:07,479
Speaker 3: they scored thirty one, and and and the Rams, who

1566
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 3: are juggernaut, scored twenty seven. Twenty Seven's a lot. If

1567
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 3: you want to know how to win, that's what you

1568
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 3: got to You gotta get a team that can. That

1569
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 3: is a problem on both sides.

1570
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 1: Of the ball. Bills have the scoring part figured out.

1571
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 3: They got that figured out.

1572
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 2: Now they've got to worry about and the problem has

1573
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 2: been the problem has been as well.

1574
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 3: Their offense has been trying to play defense as well.

1575
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:31,759
Speaker 3: They run the ball on first down, they get first

1576
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 3: downs if they can, they score points. They're very efficient,

1577
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 3: and they hang onto the ball. They dominate in the

1578
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 3: time of possession. They do everything they can to give

1579
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 3: their defense fewer and fewer plays to defend, and they're

1580
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 3: still giving up thirty three. So there you go. I mean,

1581
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 3: that's if you want, if you want Josh to not

1582
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,759
Speaker 3: have to play hero ball, there's where you start.

1583
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to Tammy in Buffalo here before the break.

1584
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: What's up, Tammy?

1585
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 5: I have a question.

1586
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 20: When you're watching the game and you're at home and

1587
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 20: you see them show the boost, you see all the

1588
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 20: coaches up there and they're all writing down stuff and

1589
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 20: they're all studying what's going on on the field. Right, Yeah,

1590
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 20: So if been and Brady had so much say in

1591
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 20: what we did last year or this let past even,

1592
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 20: what makes you think they're going to make a big

1593
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 20: difference in next season?

1594
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 3: Because there's a lot of people they.

1595
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:19,640
Speaker 13: Couldn't make it.

1596
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 20: They didn't make a decision this year, so they didn't

1597
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 20: help us at this year as much as they should have.

1598
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 3: Well, because Tammy, Tammy, I'll tell you why. Because everybody

1599
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 3: up there writing that stuff down, they're doing what they're told.

1600
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:37,680
Speaker 3: They're doing exactly what they're told. Who's telling them to

1601
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 3: do that. It's the guy on the sideline with a

1602
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 3: headset now, and if you don't like those decisions, you

1603
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 3: can say that whatever you want, and they can. It

1604
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 3: is a collaborative effort, no question about it. But they

1605
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 3: do what The coaches do what they're told. Coordinators do

1606
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 3: what they're told. If the head coach says, hey, I'm

1607
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 3: calling this next series, Joe, give me, I've got the

1608
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 3: play sheet. And he wants to call offensive plays as

1609
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 3: a defensive head coach, he can do it. If he

1610
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,720
Speaker 3: wants to call defensive plays as a head coach, he

1611
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 3: can do it. The difference is there's gonna be a

1612
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 3: different guy with a different philosophy and a different feel

1613
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 3: on game day. People have criticized this because it's like, well,

1614
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 3: if you're gonna change things, change him, now, you've got

1615
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 3: the same guy the corner. You have no idea, none

1616
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:27,760
Speaker 3: of us will ever know how it went on those sidelines.

1617
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 3: But the head coach tells you how the game's gonna go.

1618
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 3: When they get down there on the sideline and they

1619
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 3: put it up on the tee and kick it off.

1620
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 3: The head coach says, hey, listen, And they've had conversations

1621
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 3: leading up to this, but basically what he says, listen,

1622
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,560
Speaker 3: we're gotta play this close to the vest. This team

1623
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 3: can't score on us. I don't want any over the

1624
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 3: top footballs. I want us to come in here and

1625
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 3: dominate time of possession, grind out some first downs, and

1626
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 3: points are going to be a premium where you'll get

1627
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 3: another head coach in that exact same game who will say,

1628
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,280
Speaker 3: put your foot on the gas, Joe, light these guys up.

1629
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to score some points. It's the same scenario,

1630
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,759
Speaker 3: but that voice is one hundred percent of the difference.

1631
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 2: And it's fair to say that the defense is going

1632
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 2: to be completely different in scheme and likely in more

1633
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 2: personnel turnover than we've seen in some time. His team's

1634
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 2: got twenty four unrestricted free agents. There could be fewer

1635
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 2: of them returning based on how the defensive schematics lay out.

1636
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 2: Once a defensive coordinator is highed. Gotta take a break here.

1637
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 2: We'll try to squeeze a phone call in when we

1638
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 2: get back here on one Bill's Live stay with us.

1639
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 2: All right, back here for one more segment on an

1640
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 2: obl fan Friday mailbag, And to Greg in Rochester, here

1641
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:01,520
Speaker 2: we go what he got for his Greg.

1642
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 4: Hey christ and Steve Howard. Thanks for taking the call. Hey, Steve,

1643
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 4: First of all, you belong in the Hall of Fame,

1644
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,799
Speaker 4: way ahead of Bill Belichick, no matter what they say.

1645
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fun him.

1646
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 4: Wait as long as you've been waiting, how crouchy you get? Yeah,

1647
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 4: all right, listen, two quick questions. I know you're running

1648
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 4: out of time. Joe Brady's been talking about trying to

1649
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 4: get together and get to know the defensive players, especially

1650
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 4: you know, better than he does currently and stuff. As

1651
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 4: a former player, what would you say he should do? First?

1652
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 4: And maybe along those lines, have everybody out to dinner,

1653
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 4: have individual sessions with him or whatever. Secondly, last year

1654
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 4: we had an awful lot of injuries, and I think

1655
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 4: you know that's part of the game. We recognize that.

1656
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 4: But with the many injuries that we had, and I

1657
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 4: know we fired our strengthen conditioning coach after a long

1658
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 4: time there, what do you recommend they do to make

1659
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 4: the team more healthy next year?

1660
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 3: Both those good ones?

1661
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, good ones, thanks Greg.

1662
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,760
Speaker 3: Team building exercise, I mean it sounds hokey, you know,

1663
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 3: the blind drop fall where you fall like trustful, the

1664
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 3: trustful stuff like that, hokey stuff like that. They haven't

1665
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 3: They do that in ot as they come in and

1666
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 3: they and they mix these guys up into offense, defense

1667
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,680
Speaker 3: athletes and big dudes. They mix them up together in

1668
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 3: little teams and they have them do stuff together to

1669
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:17,000
Speaker 3: get to know each other. Coaches do the same thing.

1670
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 3: They will have a get together with their they'll get

1671
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 3: their staff together, start to get to know each other

1672
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 3: in a social setting and away from the building. A

1673
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 3: lot of team building stuff like that. And Joe mentioned

1674
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 3: here we had him on the show today. He told

1675
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 3: us first thing he did job one before the staff,

1676
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 3: before anything, was to reach out to players, particularly on

1677
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball, so he could get

1678
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 3: to know him and they'd know, hey, I hear you,

1679
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 3: I'm here, appreciate you, and and you know, let's go.

1680
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 3: So all that stuff is good and and he'll do

1681
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 3: that as this thing gets wound up. The other thing

1682
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 3: about what was it Gary? Oh yeah, this the injuries. Yeah,

1683
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:54,599
Speaker 3: they they.

1684
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 1: Take a look at that every year.

1685
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 3: I know it sounds cold and heartless, but they go

1686
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 3: through the data. What do we do how much of this?

1687
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 3: And they've got data on all these guys and the

1688
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:07,679
Speaker 3: kind of physical condition and the exertions they had both

1689
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 3: leading up to an injury and after the injury. Right

1690
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 3: what they did during that day that they you know,

1691
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 3: and all that load management. What day of the week

1692
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 3: was it, What were they doing? How intense was the

1693
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,640
Speaker 3: workout when they got hurt? Was it game time or

1694
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 3: was it practice? Did we suffer more pulled muscles than

1695
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 3: any other injury or was it you know, achilles injuries

1696
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:36,719
Speaker 3: or was it knee injuries? Or was it shoulder injuries?

1697
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 3: I mean, was there a some sort of you know

1698
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 3: trend that way they slice and dice it like you

1699
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,920
Speaker 3: wouldn't believe. And they've got sports science people on the

1700
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 3: payroll doing it. They they're looking into it and they're

1701
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:54,879
Speaker 3: doing it constantly. So it's not something that gets ignored,

1702
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 3: not at all, and they will try to get to

1703
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 3: the bottom of it. And somebody somewhere has a way

1704
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,400
Speaker 3: to keep from doing it, and believe me, they will

1705
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 3: implement it.

1706
01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:04,320
