Speaker 1: of it. I gotta you know, here's the thing. You'll

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: appreciate this because we're having this conversation about some of

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: the huge issues that are facing all of us in

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: this day, you know, the protests and in the racial

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: injustice and the pandemic that's going on. We got the

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: football season we talk about every day that's rolling down

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: the coming down the tracks, and all I can think about,

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: I got to mow my lawn today. I got them.

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: I got you have like a competition going on with

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: your neighbors about whose lawn looks the best, because I

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: know that can totally be a thing. And my dad

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: would do that back in Chicago where I grew up.

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: It was like our neighbor had he would mow the

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: lawn every single day, and my dad was like, oh,

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: you know what, I give up. This guy's never gonna

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: stop mowing his lawn, so our yard isn't gonna look

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: as good. And I'm okay with that. No, it's no contest.

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: My yard's the best. I say that that's true. But

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot to talk about that today. And we're

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: going to start out with and as we have in

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, we'll get get some some

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: big issues out of the out of the way before

31
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: we move on to the football. And you know, you

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: read or heard, I did not hear them. I just

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: I didn't want to hear him. I heard that Drew

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: Brees comments about not being okay with guys kneeling at

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: the with the flag in the national anthem, and he

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: has gotten roundly criticized by both his teammates and other

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: players in the National Football League, and of course the

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: community is at large that are hurt by, you know,

39
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: the fact that maybe that in any form of protest

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: is not going to be acceptable in our country. And

41
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: I think, you know, he's he's getting criticized, where an

42
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: he has absolutely backed off and apologized for it. For

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: the hurdy, cause, what are you the opening thoughts on

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: what's going on today as we moved down the road

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: here in these in this last round of social injustice

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: and the protests and all that, and with what Bruce

47
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: Drew Brees said, Maddie, Yeah, I listened to his comments,

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: and then I listened to what Malcolm Jenkins said, Uh,

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson, a lot of these other athletes that are

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: speaking up about it. And one of the quotes that

51
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: I pulled from Drew Brees's comments where I will never

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: agree with anyone disrespecting the flag of the United States

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: of America or our country. I envisioned my grandfathers who

54
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: fought for World War Two when he's talking to the flag,

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: both risking their lives to protect our country standing showed

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: unity for our flag, and I just think it's completely

57
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: missing the point right now. Yes, our flag does stand

58
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: for the military. But Colin Kaepernick was kneeling because he

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: wanted to bring awareness to what is going on in

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: our country. He said, I will continue to sit to

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: stand with the people who are being oppressed. This is

62
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: something that has to change. He tried to do this peacefully,

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: And I think about the flag and I think about

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: our national anthem, and it's freedom, justice, liberty for all,

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: for all, for all, for all, for all. Is not

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: true right now in our world. Who doesn't feel free

67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: and safe every single day, who doesn't feel the justice

68
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: system is for them right now in this country, the

69
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: black community. So if that's what our flag stands for,

70
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: is freedom and justice for all, Drew Brees needs to

71
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: open his eyes, open his heart, and open his mind

72
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: to understanding the black community. And if he can't, he

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: should be listening and educating himself right now. He did

74
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: issue an apology, and I think that's a step in

75
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: the right direction, but I still think he has a

76
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: lot of things to do and a lot in front

77
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: of him. He has to do a lot of learning

78
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: and listening to his teammates. I think his comments it's

79
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: going to take a lot of time to repair some

80
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: of those relationships that he just ripped apart. And I

81
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: hope he can be at the forefront of owning up

82
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: to these mistakes and helping other people understand who are

83
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: maybe in the situation that he's in. Yeah, there's any

84
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: like everything, there's always two sides of this, and you'll

85
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: find people who are like like Drew Brees stated, they're

86
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: not with anybody disrespecting the flag. And I'll say this

87
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: about the going back to Colin Kaepernick thing and back

88
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: in the sixties where they were burning the flag at rallies,

89
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: at Vietnam rallies, that kind of thing that you'll get

90
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: one side of the argument and say, for instance, it's

91
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: the Drew Brees side, where to disrespect the symbol of

92
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: the country where it where it gives you your right

93
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: to express your discontent. It seems wrong you don't protest

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: the symbol of that which gives you the right to

95
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: express your discontent. It's an imbalance that some people just

96
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: can't get their mind around. Why would you protest something

97
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: that is the exact thing that gives you the right

98
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: to protest. That's one side of the story. The other

99
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: side is that the guys that you're talking about my family,

100
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: members of my ancestor my family. I have a brother

101
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: in law and my dad and others who served in

102
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: the military, to to honor that flag and to provide

103
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: the freedoms that we all enjoy because of their and

104
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: to me, because of their sacrifice, because of the fact

105
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: that we still have guys overseas that are laying their

106
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: lives on the line, because we still have veterans who

107
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: come back that are never one hundred percent hole again

108
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: because of our military men and women over generations that

109
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: have laid down their lives for all of us. That

110
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: bar for our country and what it should be, and

111
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: it aspires to be the perfection that we all see

112
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: our country headed towards, though, where we all envision our

113
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: country being that bar that has been set by the

114
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: sacrifice of our military and our soldiers and our men

115
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: and women the armed forces. That bar is set so

116
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: high it becomes painfully obvious in the recent memory, in

117
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: the recent days, that we have fallen far short of that,

118
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: and that needs to be that needs to be brought

119
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: to the forefront. The sacrifice made by our military and

120
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: the soldiers over the years has set the bar for

121
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: this country so high. We need to do a better

122
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: job in their memory of living up to it. We're

123
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: not doing that, and the protests and the killings and

124
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: the lynchings, and the inequities in the educational system, in

125
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: the financial system, in the job market make it painfully

126
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: obvious that we're not doing good enough for those people

127
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: who have sacrificed for our country. We're not doing good enough,

128
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: and that's what I see coming out of this. Hopefully

129
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: we can all, you know, just do better. And I

130
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: and I for one, I'm going to try. I for one,

131
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to try. So there's that, and I hope

132
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: that we can all maybe try and do better. Our

133
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: country has has always been about listening to people who

134
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: disagree with us. Not everybody has to agree with what's

135
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: going on in our government. We don't have to agree

136
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: with the president. We don't have to agree with Congress.

137
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: We don't have to agree with the police. We don't

138
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: have to agree with the school systems. We don't have

139
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: to agree with the bankers. There's no entity in this

140
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: country that is above disagreement and being protested and being

141
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: called out for doing something wrong. That is what this

142
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: country is founded on. Our ability to disagree, peaceful protests

143
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: or what we should be about conversation and understanding where

144
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: the other side of the argument, no matter how outlandish

145
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: it sounds, we need to sit down and understand them

146
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: so that we can better communicate with them and get

147
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: a greater degree of cooperation, a greater of a greater

148
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: degree of equality, a greater degree of tolerance for people

149
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: who disagree, or who don't look like us, or who

150
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: have a different point of view. A quiet converse, quiet,

151
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: peaceful conversation, as typified by peaceful protesters, is what our

152
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: country needs. To sit down and understand each other, and

153
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: they understand the other side of the argument, the other

154
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: stand understand the other side of the fence, the other

155
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: side of the political aisle. If you will, to understand

156
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: those people that that flat out disagree with us, we

157
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: need to sit down, find out why, and start from there.

158
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: And you can only do that if you understand them.

159
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: And you can't understand them. If you never talk to them,

160
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: you can't understand them. If you never sit down with them,

161
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: you never come and you certainly can't understand them if

162
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: you don't listen to them. That's where we're at. And

163
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: I hope these I hope this time, the protests in

164
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the streets. I hope this time the riots in the streets.

165
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: I hope this time the innocent victims who have been

166
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: kneeled on and choked to death or shot in their

167
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: own apartment because they went to the wrong apartment. I

168
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: hope this time the conversation lasts and it doesn't get

169
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: brushed aside for the next big thing or the next

170
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: big issue. So hopefully we can be in a place

171
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: where we all understand each other better. Yeah, it's terrible.

172
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: This is something that we should fight for every single

173
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: day when we wake up. Is to end racism, is

174
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: to end police brutality. And for those who can't understand

175
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: this side of the argument, there's a lot of people

176
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: who want to help out there. There's a lot of

177
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: really educational videos on social media right now. And it

178
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: begins with opening your eyes to things that you may

179
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: not have firsthand experience with. Just like you were saying, Tasker,

180
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: just because it doesn't directly affect you doesn't mean that

181
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: you should turn away from what's going on in our world.

182
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: The option to turn away, to me is white privilege,

183
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: and time is up on that. It should have never

184
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: Racism should have never been a thing that has been

185
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: in our country in the first place. And we're all humans,

186
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: and God said we are all one flesh, and if

187
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: we are all one flesh, then we need to do

188
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: a better job of loving and respecting one another. And

189
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: it starts with opening our hearts and listening to the

190
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: black community during this time. Yeah, Racism is something that

191
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm only beginning to realize is unconscious as well as conscious.

192
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: It's it's a deliberate decision. It's deliberate decisions by individuals,

193
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: and it's unconscious decisions by individuals um perpetuating institutions that

194
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: are slanted unfairly. Um, it's real and um once you

195
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: become aware of it, it's it's hard to look away.

196
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: And it doesn't mean that you know all of a

197
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: sudden things are going to drastically change. What it does

198
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: mean is that this should be a change of your heart.

199
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: And when it changes your heart, and it changes enough hearts,

200
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: things will look differently and those inequities and inequalities will

201
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: be will be moved off, will be washed away, and

202
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: everybody can stand on their own two feet then and

203
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: not have the ground shaking under them while they're trying

204
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: to do it. So, um, we're here, this is uh,

205
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: Steve taskramatic, Glad we're gonna get to foo. We always

206
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: have to start because we've been moved so much by

207
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: the recent protests and all the things that are happening

208
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: in football. I think continues to be kind of a

209
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: billboard for what's going on in the United States because

210
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: there are so many white people and black people who

211
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: love and respect each other on the football field, white guys,

212
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: black guys who love and respect each other, and they

213
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: disagree as well. As we've seen with this Drew Brees incident,

214
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: he's got teammates calling him out and saying he's wrong.

215
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: We've got he's got guys across the league that are

216
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: calling him out and saying he's wrong. And it started

217
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: a conversation that's really good, and we can take part

218
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: in that conversation. We can also talk about what's going

219
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: on with the Buffalo Bills, Steve Tasker and Maddie Gladdie.

220
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: We've got a bunch of guys coming on. I mean,

221
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: we've got a show. You and I You could roll

222
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: out of bed and just roll and start asking questions

223
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: of all the guests we had. We have four people

224
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: coming on today, Brian Baldinger from Baldy's Breakdowns on ESPN.

225
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: He's also starting a new show where he's bringing guys

226
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: in watching film with the guys who are actually on

227
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: the film. Fun stuff. We'll talk to Brian Baldinger about this.

228
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: A former teammate of mine is coming on at one o'clock.

229
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: Cornelius Bennett, Biscuit was it still is one of my

230
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: all time favorite teammates and absolutely phenomenal athletes in He's

231
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: in the College Football Hall of Fame. He's a former

232
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: tremendous member of the Buffalo Bills, and it's been a

233
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: friend of mine for a long time, and I'm really

234
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: thrilled to have him on. He was also mentioned by

235
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: former coach one of his former coaches in Bruce Arians,

236
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: who's now the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

237
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians referred to Cornelius Bennett's contribution to the Indianapolis

238
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Colts late in his career the same way he expects

239
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: Tom Brady to contribute to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And

240
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: I think if people will find it interesting that for

241
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: a coach on the old Indianapolis Colts, he holds Cornelius

242
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: Bennett in that high of a regard that he puts

243
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: him in the same conversation as Tom Brady and thinks

244
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: and hopes Tom Brady can live up to what Cornelius

245
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: Bennett did. That's pretty interesting stuff. We'll ask Biscuit about that. Also.

246
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill today, a little after two o'clock, Dean Marlow

247
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: will come on. Dean Marlow, Mattie, you had you know this.

248
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: He he volunteered, he and his wife, you know, to help.

249
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: He says that, listen, my wife and I will be

250
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: very happy to come out and help clean up the

251
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: aftermath of the protests in Buffalo. Where do we go?

252
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: You know? He offered his services of him, he and

253
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: his new wife to come out and do. That's pretty

254
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: cool to see a current Buffalo bill do that. Yeah.

255
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: Always great to see our guys give back in the community.

256
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: And they do that so much, I can't believe. Like

257
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: when you think about the season and just how busy

258
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: they are through a season, and how every single week

259
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: there's a night where they give back to the community.

260
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: Is just amazing to think about because it's important for

261
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: them to do that and they take the time out

262
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: of their very busy schedules to that. So Dean Marlow

263
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: and his wife put on Instagram that they would help

264
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: clean up some of the I guess broken into stores,

265
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: what was on the around in the streets from the

266
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: violent parts and the looters of the protests. Again, a

267
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: lot of this was peaceful, but there were some looters

268
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: and some violent parts of this and it caused some

269
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: destruction to the downtown area Buffalo, and so they were

270
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: willing to help clean that up, which I think says

271
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: a lot. And we didn't just see Dean help with this, uh,

272
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: we saw Ray Ray McLeod helped with it in Florida.

273
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: And I think one of the positive things has been

274
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: to watch people, you know, pour into their communities and

275
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: give back to their communities and also want to support

276
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: black businesses during this time, whether it be stores, whether

277
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: it be restaurants, whether it be organizations. People also want

278
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: to help and that's awesome to see. Yeah, I agree.

279
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: And also after Dean Marlowe Corneie's been at Brian Bauldinger

280
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: comes on later in the show at two thirty, We're

Speaker 1: gonna have Leslie Fraser on defensive coordinator. Now. Leslie was

282

Speaker 1: say USA Today because we're USA Football, and we had

284
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: the CEO of USA Football on earlier in the week

285
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: and on Monday, I believe, and Leslie Frasier was on

286
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: a webinar promoting you know, youth football, how to do

287
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: it given teams and programs and leagues. Some advice on

288
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: how to build their teams, what to do, what their

289
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: priorities should be moving forward with youth football. So all

290
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: of that on the show today. Brian Baldinger at twelve thirty.

Speaker 1: week's not closing, but you're not going to be here tomorrow.

296
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: pulling the ejector seat that I know I wish I

297
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: could be on. But because of COVID nineteen and us

298
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: hanging out at our home so much, and people not

299
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: being able to do things in the public, we've had

300
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: a lot of zoom calls with things that of course

301
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: should have happened in person. We did a huge zoom

302
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: call with some people who are supposed to go on

303
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: the honor flight a couple of weeks ago. That was

304
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: really fun to get together with them and have the

305
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: players talk to some of the veterans who are going

306
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: to go on the honor flight. So a lot of

307
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: things that we're supposed to take place in person such

308
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: as an honor flight, such as some of these football

309
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: camps that we're supposed to be at New Airfield this

310
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: summer that haven't been able to take place. It's been

311
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: awesome to see the Bills still want to do something,

312
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of this has been through Zoom. So

313
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: I've got a couple things on Zoom tomorrow that are

314
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: going to be spread out on social media, probably in

315
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. So I don't want to

316
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: give too much away, but it's been fun to connect

317
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: with people through Zoom during this time when we can't

318
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: be together in person. Right and unlike you see, once

319
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: I get off the radio like at three o'clock every day,

320
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: nobody's demanding anymore my time. You're in high demand. People

321
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: want you to host Zoom calls and stuff. I am like,

322
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: I'm on my I'm sitting in a room by myself.

323
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to talk to me anymore or anything. So

324
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: good for you. I'm glad you're gonna be busy doing

325
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Brownie, We'll be in tomorrow. We'll miss you,

326
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: but it's been great having you on this week. So

327
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: and before we you know, move any further, let's we'll

328
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: get down. There's some a bunch of stuff going on

329
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: around around the NFL, and we're gonna get to We

330
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: started out, of course with the Drew Brees things and

331
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: all of that. We've got all that going on. What

332
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: else we've got, We've got we've got some breaking news

333
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: that like just happened before we went on the show,

334
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: and Roger Goodell sent a note out to NFL teams

335
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: advising that tomorrow June fifth, coaching staffs maybe among the

336
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: employees to return to the facility. I'm reading this note

337
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: right now. As has been emphasized in previous advice on

338
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: reopening facilities, this may occur only if your club has

339
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: otherwise received necessary permission from state and local governments to

340
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: reopen its facility. And the other important thing about this

341
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: note is that when you're adding in coaching staff now,

342
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: it will count towards the maximum number of permissible club

343
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: employees in the facility. So beginning tomorrow, clubs may increase

344
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: the number of employees in the facility to a total

345
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: of one hundred, subject again to state and local regulations. So,

346
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: just because coaching staff is being added into this equation,

347
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: clubs and teams may have to pull some people out

348
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: in order for their coaches to get in based on

349
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: the maximum number rule that's in place by the NFL

350
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: right now. But I think it's huge for coaches to

351
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: come back and be able to be in the facilities.

352
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: I also saw on Twitter it was funny from this tweet.

353
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: Some people were tweeting, all right, who's going to be

354
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: the first coach to walk in at twelve one on

355
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: the dot in their facility? And I could see Sean

356
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: mcderman being one of those guys. He doesn't want to

357
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: waste any time. He's getting right back into his office

358
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: as soon as that clock takes twelve o one on

359
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: June fifth. Yeah, it's funny. We got and you got

360
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: this too, Maddie. Probably I guess I did an email

361
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: from you know, HR over at one Bill's Live right

362
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: or one Bill's Drive right. So I got to think

363
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: and they said phase two reopening, and they've got you know,

364
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: they got they got a list of the Bills employees

365
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: that are headed back to the building for phase two.

366
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: And of course this means there's all the protocols you

367
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: have to do. You gotta wash your hands, you gotta

368
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: sanitize your hand, you gotta wear a mask, and you

369
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: gotta keep social distancing. There can't be any more than

370
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: a couple of people and a certain number of people

371
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: in any room at any one time, you know. So

372
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: they got all these restrictions and there's a you know,

373
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: there's a pre significant list of people that are back

374
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: in the building over at one builds drive so and

375
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: not us, right, not us? We're yeah, we're way down

376
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: the list. But here's the thing. So, now, if if

377
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: the coaching staff can go in there, is there some

378
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: of these people in the room to get kicked out.

379
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: They kicked back out because they're they're over their limit.

380
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: You have been replaced by the quality control coach, so

381
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: you have to go back home, right, I mean, that's

382
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: gotta be why it is. It's got to be a

383
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: juggling agg right. Yeah. Plus I you talk about who's

384
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: what coach is gonna be the first one in the building.

385
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: It's my here's what's going to happen. I could see

386
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 1: because they'll do it the right way. They won't let

387
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: those guys in the building until like twelve o'clock, right

388
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: until the cell phone clock goes one to zero zero, right,

389
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: So you can bet that all the coaches that are

390
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna be allowed in the building are gonna be standing

391
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: outside the door waiting. It's not gonna be just Sean McDermott.

392
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Leslie Frazier, Brian Dable, all those guys.

393
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: They're all going to be staying in a group, and

394
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: they're all gonna be lined up waiting to get back

395
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: in the room. It's just that's the way those guys

396
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: are wired. They'll be somebody's got to get a video

397
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: of that. And I know they're gonna be so pumped

398
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: to get back with each other. I mean they've been

399
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: probably on the phone and on zoom calls and emailing

400
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: and texting back and forth for the last few months

401
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: with each other, but to be together face to face.

402
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: Not only does just our team have a great locker

403
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: room in chemistry, I think, but I think our coaching

404
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: staff does too. Watching the way they interact with each

405
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: other during practices and after practices, I mean, you can

406
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: tell that these guys genuinely enjoy working for each other.

407
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: So I'm sure they're gonna be pumped to be back

408
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: in the same offices together as well. Yeah, I think

409
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: everybody can relate to that though, you know, because everybody's

410
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: been you know, you take it for granted. How many

411
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: times in a day you're in a store with a

412
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: bunch of people, or in a restaurant with a bunch

413
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: of people, or in your workplace hanging around with everybody

414
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: either the water when you know, the the stereotypical water cooler,

415
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: or wherever it is your group that you work with

416
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: hangs out at and just take it for granted. H

417
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: You know, you you meet and us up in the studio,

418
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, with Jay, Jay Harris and j J Rito

419
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: and and you know Kevin, you know, Kevin carg and James,

420
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: all these guys, James Robell, Kelly Rude, all these guys,

421
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: Thomas Hollander. You know, you just take it for granted.

422
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: And how nice, how comforting it's gonna be for everybody

423
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: just like see each other again and just you know,

424
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: be working and in your place and have a place

425
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: where you feel like you belong. And that's uh. I

426
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: think a lot of people, um will miss that. And

427
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: although I think too a little bit of bitter sweetler. Oh,

428
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: I gotta go to work, you know, I gotta go

429
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: back to work. I gotta get off my I gotta

430
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: dress up. I got that. I haven't had a sport

431
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: code on in months, in months, I've I haven't worn

432
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: a time. I can't remember the last time I wore

433
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: a tie, you know, and I don't I laugh about it.

434
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: I know. I don't go around all day in pajamas

435
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: or anything like that all, you know, although you know

436
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: I could, but you know, it's yeah. I wonder how

437
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: much this is gonna fundamentally change people When this goes away, Well,

438
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: we all just kind of evolve back into our you know,

439
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: our little bitter circles, you know, and then you know

440
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: where we gotta all right and complaining about that part

441
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: working and complaining about this, and we complaining about the crowds,

442
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: you know. I wonder how long it'll take for us

443
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: to all evolve back into that. I don't know, we're

444
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: still way. I hope there's something that each of us

445
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: can take away from the last few months of being

446
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: in quarantine and not having things like we normally do

447
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: at our fingertips and learn to appreciate the little things

448
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: in life, or just having friendships with people and things

449
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: like that. I hope we can be more thankful for

450
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: things than be cynical of things and be mad at

451
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: things at the end of the day. I think that's

452
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: at least something that I would like to come away

453
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: from this time is being thankful for what I have,

454
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: the job I have, the people in my life, things

455
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: like that, and yeah, dressing up for work and putting

456
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: on makeup and doing my hair. I know this is

457
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: a total girl thing, but it's gonna be tough for

458
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: me to do that because I prefer shorts and a

459
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: T shirt and my hair tied up and looking like

460
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm about to run on the field to place sports.

461
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: That's how I'd rather dress every single day in my life.

Speaker 1: you hanging in there with a pandemic? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

545
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, one thing about being a kind

546
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: of a film junkie is you you spent a lot

547
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: of time self isolated. So my life really didn't change

548
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: that much. Um, you know, just preparing for the draft

549
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: and free agency and then the roster resets and some

550
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: of the videos that I'm making right now and sort

551
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: of you know, getting ready for film sessions here. I've

552
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: been watching all the episodes as they've been finishing. So um,

553
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: my life in some regards really hasn't changed all that much. Yeah,

554
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: you're right. That's one of the reasons I didn't never

555
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: like really watching film all that much. I'd watched some

556
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: of it and you know, a lot of it, but

557
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: not like these coaches. Man, those guys they're like mushrooms, right,

558
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean they live. I don't know how they don't

559
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: ever hit the saturation point. They never seemed like they do. Yeah. Yeah.

560
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger with us an NFL network, and you're talking

561
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: about this breakdown. How did this an idea come about?

562
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: And has it been fun sitting down watching film with

563
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: players and what's what's been something you've learned out of it?

564
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a blast. This is how it started.

565
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: It was about three years ago. It was early in

566
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: March and a couple of guys on the digital side

567
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: at the NFL network, you know, they came to me

568
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: and they said, we got a little bit of money

569
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: that we haven't spent there we have to spend by

570
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: April first. If you had if you had a little

571
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: bit of money, what would you want to do? Like

572
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: from an idea standpoint, and I said, well, you know,

573
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm a film junk. I'd love to sit in a

574
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: film room with coaches and players and really go through

575
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: game film and what they see, how they prepare, you know, techniques,

576
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: really teaching the game of football through their eyes. And

577
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: they said, well, we love it. How about And so

578
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: we started at NFL Films and Doug Peterson, who just

579
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, came in and Carson Wentz and

580
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas from the Cleveland Browns game, and we kind

581
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: of started it, and then you know, it really took

582
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: off and we had we filmed eighteen sessions last year,

583
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: and then we did twenty this year. And we wanted

584
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: to do coaches as well as the owners meeting, but

585
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: they all got canceled. But we did twenty at the

586
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl this year, and I gotta tell you, we

587
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: were twenty for twenty. Every player they loved the idea,

588
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: They loved sitting there and getting comfortable in their own

589
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: element and just teaching us the game. And it's it

590
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: just reminds you that the game just keeps evolving and

591
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: there's always something new to learn. And I think the

592
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: fans we'll see exactly what I'm talking about. I think

593
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: the fans love these breakdowns. I mean, I look forward

594
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: to watching all these breakdowns. Anytime I see one pop

595
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: up on my Twitter feed, I'm like, yes, gotta watch this.

596
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: And I love the way you describe what's going on

597
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: and some of the nicknames you use, and just your

598
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: enthusiasm when you're breaking things down. Do you have any

599
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: exchange with players in your Twitter feed or in your mentions?

600
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: Have any players challenged your breakdowns or have you had

601
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: any fun exchange with them after you post one? Well,

602
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: I've had some, you know, I've had some challenges for sure.

603
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not going to go into you know,

604
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: individual things, but most of the players love it, to

605
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I mean, you know, most players,

606
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: almost all the players that are following me, whatever I say,

607
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: they kind of retweet it in real time. I mean,

608
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: if I said something about Jadevi and Clowney, you know,

609
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 1: and you know, in a game in Seattle last year

610
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: against San Francisco, i mean, almost as soon as it

611
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: was posted, it was retweeted. If I did something about

612
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: almost every single player, you know, they enjoyed watching it,

613
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: seen it on their Twitter feed. But you know, I've

614
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: been wrong about some things, or at least challenged by

615
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 1: some players, and I said, look, you know, I'm an

616
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: open book. I don't pretend to have all the answers

617
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: or anything. I'll be happy to listen. So some players

618
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: have straightened me out on things that their coaches told

619
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: them or different techniques that they were asked to do.

620
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: And that's why, you know, maybe we a difference of

621
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: opinion about what I saw and what they did. We're

622
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: talking with Brian Balding or NFL Network Analysts on his

623
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: about his show Film Session that's on NFL Networking. He

624
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: had Tavis White on your show us. It hasn't aired yet. Well,

625
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit of insight as to how

626
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: fun it was or what that was like doing it

627
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: with tardevious a corner man. I tell you it was

628
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: really it was really exciting because you know, he really

629
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: took a step up this year. He became an elite player.

630
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: Uh you know that game on Thanksgiving against Samari and

631
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: Dallas and Buffalo's big win that day. Um, you know,

632
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: he really his preparation all week long really allows him

633
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: to play fast and play with a great deal of confidence.

634
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: You know, as an individual when he's asked to lock

635
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: up a receiver or just within the scheme that Sean

636
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: McDermott has kind of put out there and Coach Frasier

637
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: has put out there. Um, you know, he really gave

638
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: us a lot of insight to what Buffalo likes to

639
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: do in some playoff games, or not playoff games, but

640
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: regular season close games against you know, Tom Brady and

641
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots, who the first game against the Patriots this year,

642
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: they held Tom Brady the lowest quarterback rating he's had

643
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: since two thousand and six. And you know, he goes

644
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: into kind of detail about what they did that day

645
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: to make it so tough on him. And so there's

646
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: some really great stuff from tredevious and really about the

647
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: Bill's team as a whole that I think you'll af

648
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: forward to listening to him share with you in his

649
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: film session. How do you think Tredavious White can grow

650
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: as he continues his career in the NFL. Obviously, what

651
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: he's done so far, he's earning a lot of respects

652
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: from the NFL and has been put on a lot

653
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: of these lists of best corners and lockdown corners and

654
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: things like that. What is next for Trey White to

655
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: stay respected in the game and be amongst some of

656
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: the best in the league. Well, you know, you got

657
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: to come up big in big games. That's always you know,

658
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: it's a team thing. But I think the overall communication,

659
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's with Michael or Jordan as safety

660
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: or Toron Johnson and the nicol like, just the overall

661
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: level of communication can always that allows you sometimes either

662
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: the freelance take a chance, you know. I think those

663
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: are some things that you can always look at as

664
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: a player. I mean, I just did a big breakdown

665
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: on Troy Palmalo for his Hall of Fame induction this year,

666
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: And for eight years he had Ryan Clark in the

667
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: back end and allow Troy to really be Troy, to

668
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: take chances, use his instincts to a degree because he

669
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: has somebody protecting him on the back end. And I think,

670
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: you know, for Troy, I think when you look at

671
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: him right now, you go, okay, he's got all these skills.

672
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: Right now, he had six interceptions, which was near the

673
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: league top, but I think he could add more, you know,

674
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: and sometimes you take more chances with it. Just the

675
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: way Stefind Gilmour stepped up this year the overall level

676
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: of communication with him and Devil mccordy in New England

677
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: allowed him to take some chances. And I think it

678
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: comes down to communication, being a team player, but also

679
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: knowing when to kind of take some chances within your group.

680
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: And so I think I think it's just overall more communication,

681
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: not better, but more communication is Josh Norman joins, you

682
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: know the team this year. I think those are the

683
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: kind of things that you can really learn from as

684
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: an experience secondary and the secondary that's getting more and

685
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: more experience. We're talking with Brian Balding, or NFL Network analyst.

686
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: I also talking about Toredavious White and how defenses are constructed,

687
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: and the Bills had a very good defense last year.

688
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: Analytics people are and we've had this debate a little

689
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: bit on the show. Analytics people are telling us now

690
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: because fans me included, and in the days that I

691
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: was watching and playing in the NFL with you know,

692
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm watching a guy like Bruce Smith get two hundred

693
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: sacks during his career and we always get caught up.

694
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: I think his fans to say, wow, if this team

695
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: has a pass rush, their defense is going to be

696
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: really good. And we always make it about the pass

697
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: rushers up front, but more and more the analytics people

698
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: are telling us, well, actually it's better to have a

699
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: better secondary than it is to have a pass rush.

700
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: How do you see that? And did you see it?

701
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: Has it always been that way and we just didn't know?

702
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: Or do you think the game, because of the way

703
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: it's officiated and the way the rules are set up

704
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: and the way the offenses are run, that it has

705
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: evolved into a secondary first type of atmosphere in the unity. Well,

706
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: I say this, Steve, like I don't necessarily agree with

707
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: all the analytics and what they say. I mean, I

708
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: think it's a marriage between the two. You know. The

709
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: forty nine Hours came within a few plays of what

710
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: are You a super Bowl? And I thought that was

711
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: the best defensive front and football. And then I thought

712
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: their secondary stayed healthy last year and they played a

713
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: lot better. I will say this, you generally, explosive plays

714
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: always fall on the back end of your defense. That

715
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: being either if you break down in coverage and you

716
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: get picked apart for seven or if you don't tackle

717
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: well in the secondary, it's going to lead to explosive plays,

718
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: either in the running game or in the passing game

719
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: after a catch, and so it does fall in the

720
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: secondary in a lot of that respect about total big

721
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: plays that you give up which swing the way games

722
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: are decided. So from that standpoint, I do agree with that,

723
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: But I think every secondary, you know, if you have

724
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: to get the ball out faster, or the quarterback has

725
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: to take his eyes off the number one target because

726
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: he's being chased quickly by Nick Boza or you know,

727
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: somebody like that, then I do think that the front

728
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: and a guy like Bruce Smith, you know, and what

729
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: he was able to do, you know, certainly makes things

730
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: a lot easier on the back end. I want to

731
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: talk about the offensive side of the ball and just

732
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in year three. A lot of conversations droning

733
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: the Bills right now is how far can Josh Allen

734
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: take this team? And this team as Josh Allen goes, So,

735
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: what's the biggest step that Josh can make in year

736
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: three in your mind? Well, I think, you know, first

737
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: of all, he made a big jump between the first

738
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: year and the second year, and I think a big

739
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: part of the jump was what they did around him.

740
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: I mean, adding John Brown and Cole Beasley, you can't

741
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: deny the effect that both those players had, you know,

742
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: on the offense. I mean they were number one and

743
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: number two in receiving and they both caught six touchdown

744
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: passes from Josh last year. I believe I think I

745
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: had that right. But so if now, if you add

746
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: a true number one receiver, because I don't think John

747
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: Brown or Stefan Digg or Cole Beasley is a true

748
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: number one receiver, but Stefan Diggs is. So you got

749
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: a guy that can beat most man coverage. I mean,

750
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: that's what he's gonna be asked to do. And so

751
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna go up against Stefan Gilmour, He's gonna go

752
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: up against you know, the league's best corners week in

753
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: week out. He's gonna be asked to beat those guys,

754
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: and he's gonna take coverage with them, which is going

755
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: to open up things for other guys. So I think

756
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: keep building around him is going to be paramount, you know,

757
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: for Josh, and I think they understand that, and I

758
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: think they have continued to do that. But ultimately, Josh

759
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: Allen has to become more accurate, and the deep ball

760
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: accuracy has been missing, and so we all know he

761
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: has a cannon for an arm, but neither either not

762
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: take as many deep shots as he takes or connect

763
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: on a few more than he has. I think that

764
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: would be a big part of his success. And then

765
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to take any of his aggressiveness away

766
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: from running with the football. He ran for nine touchdowns

767
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: last year. I don't want him to take any aggressiveness away.

768
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: But I think he's going to find out as the

769
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: seasons go on and games go on that run less,

770
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: throw more, and I think all everybody kind of learns

771
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: from that. I think Lamar Jackson will learn from that.

772
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: I don't think he has to run for twelve hundred

773
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: yards this year, So keep your eyes down the field

774
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: a little bit and use your receivers, you know, to

775
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: move the ball down the field more than just tuck

776
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: the ball away and run with it. Baldi, thanks for this.

777
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: It's great talking to you. I hope we catch up

794
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: appearance on. That's where Kurt Warner, Brian Balding or two

795
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: former players get together with a current player and they

796
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: watch film and they get some insight as to how

797
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: that player prepared and what he's thinking on certain plays,

798
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: and you get a chance to in the insight of

799
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: how the game works in its innermost parts. It'll be

800
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: pretty fun to do that. I had him on up

803
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: good friend of mine. Can't wait to hear what Biscuit

804
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: has to say about what all the things that are

805
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 1: going on. We also have a tweet, a Twitter poll

806
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: out or Twitter question out, and we forgot to even

807
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: put it out there. That's my bad, Maddie, you didn't.

808
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: It's all good the Twitter question of the day, and

809
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: we have got some responses because we did tweet it out.

810
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: We just didn't mention it on the air. Sean McDermott

811
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: praised the importance of leadership on his team. Yesterday, he

812
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: had a media day where he spoke to all the

813
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: local media and national media. He also came on with

814
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: us a little bit as well. Sean McDermott praised the

815
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: importance of leadership on his team. What makes an effective

816
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: leader in your mind? You can send in your thoughts

817
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: on Twitter, or you can give us a call at

818
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty or one eighty eight

819
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Steve Tasker, Maddie, glad we've

820
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: got some some responses to that Twitter question already, Maddie,

821
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: why don't you start with what makes an effective leader?

822
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: And why what do we got? So Adam says, an

823
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: effective leader is not the person who talks the loudest,

824
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: but is the person who unites the most people around

825
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: a singular case. A singular cause sounds about right from

826
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: Adam Steve. When you look at right here, we hit

827
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: some different answers because of the current climate we're in,

828
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, some more wide ranging answers. I think we are.

829
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: I think we are. And you probably when you think

830
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: of your time in the National Football League and some

831
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: leaders on the teams that you were a part of

832
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: and what they had to offer in the locker room,

833
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure these answers are a lot of the qualities

834
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: within a good leader. Oh yeah, absolutely, I have said

835
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: many many times in the past and over the years

836
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: preceding my career. One of the things that Marv Levy

837
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: did so well was he had a great grasp of

838
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's a great communicator. And he told us

839
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: one time, he says, listen, I a leader isn't getting

840
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: You don't lead by getting people to follow you, which

841
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: sounds crazy when when he says that sentence, you don't

842
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: lead by getting people to follow you, and he said,

843
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: you lead by getting people to join you. And that's what,

844
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: from what Adam said, get You got to unite people

845
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: around a singular cause. And a great leader is somebody

846
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: who's riding down in the thick of it with everybody

847
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: and people rally around him and want to be like

848
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,479
Speaker 1: that guy. And now, on a football team, it's pretty

849
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: obvious you get those kind of guys on your team,

850
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: and everybody around him is better, and it's pretty fun

851
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: to think about. Also from Tiffany, you read the one

852
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: from Tiffany about what makes an effective leader and why.

853
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: Tiffany says, in my opinion, true leadership is the ability

854
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: to disagree with someone and have the ability, through dialogue

855
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: and open conversation to educate yourself and take some perspective

856
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: and utilize what you've learned to take positive action moving forward.

857
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: Knowledge is quite proud powerful. I think we are seeing

858
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: some answers that relate to what is going on in

859
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: our country today, and it's good to see these answers

860
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: and see what people think really makes an effective leader,

861
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: because it's definitely more than what goes on on whatever

862
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: field or whatever court or pool you're a part of. Yeah,

863
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: it's definitely outside the lines today, right we're getting answers

864
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: that don't have much to do with the Buffalo Bills

865
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: as they do with everybody and everything. Right, that's kind

866
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: of cool to see. Let's take one more. What makes

867
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: an effective leader from Brian's to someone who navigates out

868
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: the outside noise to get others to stay focused on

869
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: the execution at hand. That's great, someone who navigates the

870
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: outside noise and gets others to stay focused on the

871
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: execution at hand. And that's true because I'm particularly on

872
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: a football team, Maddie, use so many distractions because you

873
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: get a lot of young guys in a room, they're

874
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: all making a ton of money, they're all you know,

875
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: famous to a certain degree as football players, and it's

876
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: really easy, particular for very young players to get distracted

877
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: by all the freedoms that have been dropped into their

878
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: lap because of their because of their financial fortunes, and

879
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: because of the things that come to them as just

880
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: as professional athletes. And to keep that distract those distractions

881
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: at a distance and make sure they know that, you know,

882
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: to stay focused on what the real issue is. And

883
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: that's when in football games, getting better, being better every

884
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: week and every way. That's some real insight there from

885
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: Brian as well, So a lot going on what makes

886
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: an effective leader and why. Sean McDermott mentioned a lot

887
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: about the leadership that it took to or it is

888
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: taking to get his team through this pandemic and the

889
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: virtual setting that they're all forced to work in, and

890
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: and it's pretty pretty telling about how much thought he

891
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: has put into it and the extra effort it takes

892
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: to do some of the things that he I think

893
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: maybe some of us took for granted before the pandemic hit.

894
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: And you think about the outside noise aspect of it too.

895
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot more outside noise with

896
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: the expectations from national media at this point. It's going

897
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: to be about leaning on those veteran leaders in the

898
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: locker room to not let those outside noises and expectations

899
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: get to this team and break through the wall that

900
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: is that locker room. Yeah, and you think too that

901
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: and things are changing, and they're changing really fast. You

902
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: think about the pandemic and how things we're evolving through

903
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: the pandemic. The numbers were growing up, Now they plateau,

904
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: Now they're coming down. Now we can start to open up.

905
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about what's going to happen after the

906
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: pandemic and then George Floyd gets killed and all that

907
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: gets washed away and we've got we've got an important

908
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: issue that's still that still racks our country with pains,

909
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: the pain of growth. Hopefully they're growing pains that we

910
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: can grow out of certain situations like we have and

911
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: like we experience, and things are changing so fast in

912
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: all these fronts in today, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas,

913
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, professional collegiate stadiums in Texas are going to

914
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: be able to operate at fifty percent capacity. That seems

915
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: light years away from New York, doesn't it, you know?

916
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it's it's June fourth today and

917
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: we just opened patios yesterday. We are open. We're like

918
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: in a whirlwind of confetti right now. What we try

919
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: and grab one of the little bits of paper and

920

921
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing these times in which we live. I

922
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 1: don't think any of us, maybe some of the older

923
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: generations back in the sixties that can remember this, I

924
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: think any of us are kind of equipped to handle

925
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: what we're experiencing as a country and as people and

926
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 1: as individuals every day here. It's it's amazing, it's amazing.

Speaker 1: He was two time AFC Defensive Player of the Year,

940
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: and he was probably the centerpiece for Buffalo fans of

941
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:46,920

942

948
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: you're aware of it. Um, what are the thoughts on

949
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: this conversation that seems to be going on the National

950
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: Football League about race? Has that conversation advanced at all

951
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: since the days that you played and I played some

952
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: two decades ago? Well, I, Steve, honestly, I don't know.

953
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not in the you know, I'm not

954
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: in connected to football and that aspect I would like

955
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: to think so, um, you know, but again, if you

956
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: look at the hiring practices, and I'm gonna say that's

957
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: still a big problem. That's just my outside opinion looking

958
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: at you know, from what I see in here and

959
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: read m As far as hiring practices concerned, I wi

960
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: skill say it's a big problem. How much does it

961
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: help when white guys speak up about it? Steve? You

962
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: know that's I don't you know, man, As you know,

963
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: talking and everything is cool, but accidents I always speak

964
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: loud in the word you know, walks off and carried

965
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: big sick kind of thing and you don't. Sometimes, you know,

966
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: not saying anything can be good and sometimes it can

967
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: be detrimental. And um, I just I just believe in

968
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: the actions, man. You know, the actions are or what

969
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: it is all about. You know, we we played for

970
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: sixty minutes and it was all actions. You know, you

971
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: could you had your guys out there talking, you know,

972
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: smack and you had some guys out definitely and God

973
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: bless you this and that or what episode. You know,

974
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 1: talkers talk us cheek. Anybody can do it and everybody

975
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: does it. But what kind of actions are you gonna take? Cornelius,

976
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: we talked a couple of days ago just about the

977
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 1: current Bill's roster and uh, your time with the Bills

978
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: winning the AFC East title going to the Super Bowls.

979
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: The last time the Bills won an AFC East title

980
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety five. The last time they were favored

981
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety six. And you talked a little bit

982
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: about your thoughts on the current Bill's roster. H And

983
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: I want to bring that up again. It's a loaded

984
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: team on defense and what you've seen from this team

985
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: these past few years. What stands out to you most

986
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: about the type of defense that this team plays well.

987
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say hello to you

988
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: again as well whatever they say hi to you. So

989
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: it was great talking to you the other day. UM,

990
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, I just see some some some young leadership.

991
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: You know, we had older guys in the locker room

992
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: when I came to Buffalo. Um, then you had m

993
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: you know guys, younger guys like myself. Once I found

994
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: my place on the team. UM. You know, I actuallypted

995
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: my Leadership Bowl as well. And I think that's what

996
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: you're what you're getting in Buffalo right now. You have um,

997
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: young stars on the team that are finding their places

998
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 1: as leaders. And UM, I just before talking to you, guys,

999
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: are just happened to see a tweeter and where Sean

1000
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: mcderman is talking about leadership and um, and that's what

1001
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: it takes. You know, the talent is there are otherwise

1002
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: guys wouldn't be in the NFL. So again it's all

1003
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: about actions, um, and great leaders lead by action. UM.

1004
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: You know when it's time to say, make a speech

1005
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, you do have those guys like

1006
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: a coach leader who are great guys that you know

1007
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: or you know what you know whatever. And but then

1008
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: most mostly you got to have the action guys. You

1009
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: got to have the soldiers in the back coming forward

1010
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: and taking care of you know, what needs to be

1011
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 1: taken care of. And I think that's what we're saying

1012
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: in Buffalo all around. I tell you, it's just the

1013
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: pieces are coming together, and I can't wait. I can't wait.

1014
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: It's one of the first times I've been really excited

1015
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: about Buffalo Bills football in a long long time. We're

1016
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: talking with Cornelians. Been at former Bill's linebacker from nineteen

1017
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 1: eighty seven to ninety five. He's two time AFC defensive

1018
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: player that year, played for fourteen years and Cornelians, I

1019
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: read a thing just today. Tom Brady's leaving the AFCAS.

1020
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: He's going down to Tampa Bay. Bruce Arians is the

1021
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: head coach there. You played on a team where Bruce

1022
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: Arians was one of the coaches, and he referred back

1023
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: to your time as an Indianapolis Cold when you went

1024
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: back to Indianapolis, he played in Buffalo, went to Atlanta

1025
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: for a year, and then you signed with the Colts,

1026
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: and he says, you'll never get the credit. Corneius Ben

1027
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about he's talking about Corneius Will never

1028
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: get the credit for the difference he made for the

1029
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: Colt defense. And they were three and thirteen one year

1030
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning his first year. In the second year,

1031
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: they were thirteen and three, and he said, yeah, Peyton

1032
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: Manning was a better quarterback. He didn't turn it over.

1033
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: But Cornelius Bennett was a difference maker. And we're having

1034
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 1: this big conversation in Buffalo about leadership. What do you

1035
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: remember about the ninety nine Colts that your presence was

1036
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: thought to be such a catalyst to making a difference

1037
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball from Peyton Manning.

1038
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: I guess you know, go back. I'm ask probably just

1039
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna hammler about this the whole time I'm on the phone.

1040
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: You got action. My actions over the previous twelve years

1041
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL had had, you know, said enough for me.

1042
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: And when Bill and Jim Morrison you brought me in

1043
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: made news. You know, Bill knew me, of course better

1044
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: than anybody, but they knew what kind of player I was.

1045
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: My kind of locker room guy was. It didn't say

1046
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: a lot in the locker room, but when I needed

1047
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: to say something, I would. And I had grown so

1048
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: much um by year twelve to where I you know,

1049
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: I always felt like if I had to walk off

1050
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: the field, I would have been a great coach or whatever.

1051
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: But I just you know, that was just me just

1052
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: eating up football from from a mental standpoint and sitting

1053
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 1: in the room and not saying much or whatever, just

1054
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: grasping the information. So when I needed to have the recall,

1055
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: it was actually you know, it was it was it

1056
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: was spontaneous. I didn't have to. I didn't have to, uh,

1057
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, think about things when it came to football.

1058
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: And that's just so that gave me an edge. And

1059
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: but on the field leading being the first in line,

1060
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: or showing the young guys, or coaching and guys on

1061
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: the field or whatever because of the knowledge again you know,

1062
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: studying and listening and being that guy and giving guys

1063
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: help and give guys confidence. Like you know, when I

1064
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: got to Buffalo, Darryl and Bruce and other guys in

1065
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: the locker room, Kent and all those guy has given

1066
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: me to confident a young guy coming in midway through

1067
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: the season, don't know what the hell is going on,

1068
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: and guys pulled me by the way, seeing to pull

1069
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: me along and saying listen and look and learn, and

1070
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: that's what I did, and that's what I tried to

1071
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: do when I got to Indianapolis, speaking of actions and

1072
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: continuing that conversation in the leadership that needs to go

1073
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: into a team that is on the cusp of some

1074
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: really great years down the road talking about these twenty

1075
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 1: twenty bills and the years to come hopefully, it's it's

1076
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: a full of winning seasons and being a part of

1077
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: those bills, teams that you guys got progressively better and

1078
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: you're part of some of the best years. What's your

1079
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: advice to a team who is on the brink of

1080
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: something of what a locker room needs to look like

1081
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:50,919
Speaker 1: to block out the noise and the expectations of the outside. Well,

1082
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: I tell you that that's two things that well actually

1083
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: three things out. One is one is, you know, having

1084
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: a good general manage with buffalo hats and a good

1085
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 1: head what's buffalo has, and then having a good locker

1086
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: room full of guys. So that and and those guys

1087
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: in the locker room, those leaders in the locker room

1088
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: when a new guy does come along, as they will,

1089
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, with injuries or you know, free agency now

1090
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: of course, and those guys that come in that the

1091
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: new guys that come in that locker room, buying into

1092
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: what's going on in that locker room already and not

1093
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: trying to bring some outside outside influence in that. Will

1094
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: that all distract from the main, you know, the main objective,

1095
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: and that is to win and win big. And uh

1096
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: so I think those things are lining up, have lined up.

1097
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't say, I'll say they have lined up. I'm

1098
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: too that. Like I said earlier, I'm truly excited about

1099
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills football again. Um So, I just um, you know,

1100
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I'm truly excited. Yeah, And we've been

1101
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: talking about here cornis for a lot and you look

1102
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: at how things are going to happen once the pandemic ends.

1103
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: Is the what's the season going to look like? What

1104
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: are the stadium's gonna look like? What are the fans

1105
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: gonna be are? You know, what are they going to

1106
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: look like? When if they are in need in the

1107
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: in the stadium. One of the benefits and maybe backhanded

1108
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: benefits of this pandemic has been we've we've conjectured and

1109
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: we think and I want to get your opinion about it.

1110
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: Teams like Buffalo who have the same two coordinators, the

1111
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: same head coach, the same GM, all their players have

1112
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: been or their key players or in the system. Now

1113
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: going into their third, maybe even their fourth year in

1114
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: the same system, that continuity, given the abbreviated offseason, the

1115
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: and the remote nature and the virtual nature of the offseason,

1116
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: that may be an enormous advantage for some teams in

1117
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: the upcoming season because they just didn't have so much

1118
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: to learn as maybe some of the other teams with

1119
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: new head coaches. No doubt about it, no doubt about it,

1120
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: because now it's all about just you know, executing the plan.

1121
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: You know, everybody has had a chance to three years,

1122
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: Like you said, majority of guys have been there for

1123
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: three years, and they've had a chance to really study

1124
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: and get to know the plan and um and get

1125
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: to know each other. I think, you know, that's that's

1126
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: a big part of it as well. When I was

1127
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: talking about the guys in the locker room earlier, um,

1128
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: getting to know each other. I mean, you know, we

1129
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: still our type group of guys, our group of guys,

1130
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, our main court guys. We still get together

1131
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: and kicking like it was nineteen eighty eight, So with

1132
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: no problem, and I think that's a big part of

1133
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: it as well. Those guys that locker room have been

1134
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: there together for the you know, three or four years

1135
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: some of them. Uh, they've gotten to know each other,

1136
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: um and trust you know, they trust each other. When

1137
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: you're in the huddle with ten other guys, man, and

1138
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: you look across this you know, third and whatever, and

1139
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: you look across and you know, hey, man, okay, and

1140
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: no problem, we got this. You know, you don't doubt

1141
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: the guy next to you. And that's and that's and

1142
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: that's the way football is. And that's a life lesson

1143
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: as well, Um, Steve Um. Standing next to someone in

1144
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: this country, we should all be um knowing that we

1145
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: have each other's back and not have to worry. That's

1146
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: what that's why this country is the greatest country in

1147
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: the world. Um. I could stand next to you you

1148
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: and I don't worry when I'm around you and Jim

1149
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: and Bruce and Thurman, we don't worry about anything because

1150
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: we know we got each other's back, you know, as

1151
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Kent was here and having Will Wolfer back in the

1152
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: mix as well. Man, it's it's it's a beautiful thing.

1153
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: My life is so much better having you guys in

1154
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: my life and knowing that you are my brothers, Well,

1155
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta tell you too, Biscuit, before we

1156
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: let you go. During this week, we've Maddie and I

1157
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and it's been a pandemic. It's

1158
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: been isolation, separation, social distancing, quarantining. It's been walking around

1159
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: and it's public with masks and staying your distance, not

1160
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: being able to congregate with friends and sometimes not even families.

1161
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: We've got protests in the street and for good reason,

1162
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: within justices that have happened. And in the midst of

1163
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: all of that, I think as Americans, we can, like

1164
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: you just said, we can remember maybe once in a while,

1165
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: that it is the best country and that even though

1166
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: we have our problems, we live in maybe the best

1167
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: place there is to experience those problems. And I was

1168
01:00:57,960 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: going to ask you, and maybe I'm out of line

1169
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: on it, but let me ask you, well, what or

1170
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: maybe one of your top one or two positives over

1171
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: the past two or three months that have happened to

1172
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: you in your life, maybe in quarantine or that you've

1173
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: seen out and about. Is there a positive silver lining

1174
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: over the last few months that you can find and

1175
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: maybe you'll carry with you. Yes, no doubt about it.

1176
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: I think I probably. I don't know if I've tweeted.

1177
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: I know if I've sent it out to friends, and

1178
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: I think to you that as well. The one thing,

1179
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: even though you know we've been cooped up and you know,

1180
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: distance from from you know, others or whatever family, family,

1181
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: I've had a chance until my son went back three

1182
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: weeks agoing back to Knoxville, I had a chance for

1183
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: the first time and my kids adult lives, to have

1184
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: the three of them here with me plus my grand

1185
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: baby for an extended period of time. That is something

1186
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: that even though it's a pandemic, that is something that

1187
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: I think everyone should look at and say, Man, you

1188
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:00,439
Speaker 1: know that time, I cherish it. I knew what a word.

1189
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: I didn't have to worry about my son, a black man,

1190
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: being out and about because he was right here with

1191
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,919
Speaker 1: men and for a few short months. You know, even

1192
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: though it seems like it was forever, but it was

1193
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: a short time, especially in a lifetime, that's that's a

1194
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: fleeting moment. But I'll chaish it forever. Knowing that I

1195
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 1: had I had no worry about my family because they

1196
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: were here safe, with me and I was with them

1197
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,919
Speaker 1: and we could see each other almost on the twenty

1198
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:29,479
Speaker 1: four hour basis, and that's something that I'll shaish forever.

1199
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: And so family, just just thinking about family, um, it's

1200
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: something that I always keep me when when we think

1201
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: about this pandemic. Biscuit, thanks so much. It was great

1202
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 1: talking to you. I love you, man, and I'm I'm

1203
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: so glad you're safe and happy down there. Best wishes

1204
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: to you and the family, And thanks so much for

1207
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: having me on. Man, and I love you and I

1208
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: can't wait for us more. Who has to get together

1209
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: and do what we do. Man. I mean, maybe it'll

1210
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: be the game and maybe it'll be a playoff game

1211
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: this year in Buffalo. Hopefully good stuff. But thank you

1212
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: so much, all right, love you, Man. Cornelius been at

1213
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: former Bills linebacker in nineteen eighty seven through nineteen ninety five.

1214
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: He had five Pro Bowl appearances. He played for fourteen years.

1215
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: He was two time American Football Conference Defensive Player of

1216
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: the Year and he was an outstanding, an outstanding friend

1217
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: and teammate. And I and that's one of the things

1218
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: that I that has come about for me, and I'm

1219
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: and it's amazing that he said that about his family,

1220
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, Maddie, because I have good friends like Corneis

1221
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: is one of them. All of them, all of my

1222
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: friends who happened to be black, worry about their sons

1223
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: leaving the house to go buy a loaf of bread

1224
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: because they may not come back. And U it's and

1225
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: that's that's it. That's the reality of it. All of

1226
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: them say that, all of them has said that, and

1227
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: that is that is really really troubling for me. But

1228
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: it's a reality for my friends and their families. And

1229
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm glad we had Corney has been in on. You

1230
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: can tell he's just a wonderful guy. We've we've had

1231
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: a tech loop going on this morning, obviously with all

1232
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: the stuff that's happened overnight. But it's been fun to

1233
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: see him. He's got great and it's fun too to

1234
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: hear him talk about how high what high hopes he

1235
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,959
Speaker 1: has for the football team this year. In the midst

1236
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: of all this, we are all united by our Bills fandom,

1237
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: so that's kind of cool as well to hear him

1238
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: say that. Yeah, it's it's been fun as I've started

1239
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: talking to some of these legends for this feature story

1240
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: that we've been talking about that I'm starting to write

1241
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: and we'll come out in the next month or so.

1242
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: But they are all so equally pumped for this season.

1243
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: And the line that comes with I'm excited to watch

1244
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: the Bills this year is I haven't been this excited

1245
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: in a long time. And to hear guys who played

1246
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: in the nineties a part of the best teams, to

1247
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: hear them say they haven't been this excited in a

1248
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: long time. Also, I think brings some joy to what's

1249
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: ahead for these Bills. To hear from legends and to

1250
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: hear their thoughts on what's to come. Yeah, me too,

1251
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: And I think it's a fun season to talk about.

1252
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: That's what you and I do most days, and most

1253
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: of most days. Sometimes we get off into other things,

1254
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 1: but for the most part, we talk about this Bills

1255
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: team and how fun it is. He's right, it's a

1256
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: different type of team, and you talk about the high

1257
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: hopes we have for this team this year, and for

1258
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: me and all guys like that, when people hear me

1259
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: talk and go out, they remember the older people remember

1260
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: when I played in those teams I was on much

1261
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: different than this team. On the field, they looked much

1262
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: different than this team. The team I was on was

1263
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: the K Gun and Jim Kelly and Thurman and Andre

1264
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: and we had some phenomenally gifted defensive players like Biscuit,

1265
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: like Bruce Smith. Of course Corney's Bennett is another one.

1266
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: We had Shane Conlin, who was a Pro Bowl player.

1267
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: We had guys like Nate Nate Odoms and defensive back

1268
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: Kelso was back there. But that team was kind of

1269
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: built around the offensive side of the football and the

1270
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: no huddle offense. It was kind of fun. It was

1271
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: new and as innovative. This team of the twenty twenties

1272
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: could be just as effective as that, but it's built

1273
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: in a completely different way. This is a team that

1274
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, they're about their defense. They're about You can't

1275
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: move the ball on these guys. It's hard to score

1276
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: on these guys. It's hard to get a first down

1277
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 1: against this squad. You never seem to be able to

1278
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: do anything productive against them. And that's I think this

1279
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: is that's why this team is its own entity. And

1280
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: while they all wear the same colors and have the

1281
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: same logo, on the side of their helmet. This team

1282
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: is cool for a completely different reason than the old

1283
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 1: one that I played on, and it's kind of fun

1284
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: to think about. And Cornelius knows it as well. It's

1285
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool to think about the differences in that

1286
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: team and this one. Yeah, and it's also interesting look

1287
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: at the similarities. Even with how the game has evolved

1288
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: over the years, there's still similarities that you can draw

1289
01:06:56,200 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: between successful teams in times at the Buffalo Bills as

1290
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 1: well as look at those differences too. I think that's

1291
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: one thing that's been fun to look at these rosters

1292
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 1: and look at how these teams were built and what

1293
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: made them good and what their strengths were, whether it

1294
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: was in the nineties or whether it's right now. In

1295
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Steve Tasker, Maddie Glabber, and One Bill's Live.

1296
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna go take a break and at the bottom

1297
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: of the hour right after this. This week, since Maddie's

1298
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: been on, we've been going over about, you know, the

1299
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 1: state of the Bills and then picking a position group.

1300
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: And since mat this Maddie's last day of the week,

1301
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: She's gonna actually go to work tomorrow and hang out

1302
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: with us. We're gonna go through that one position that

1303
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: is the elephant in the room, the quarterback room starts

1304
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: with Josh and goes down from there. We're gonna do

1305
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: that right after this break. Steve Tasker, Maddie Glab. This

1306
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: is One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health and this

1307
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live,

1308
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker and Maddie Glab. We put this Twitter question

1309
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: out earlier today because Sean McDermott had said, you know

1310
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: how importantly his leadership. It's been one of his mantras

1311
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: since he got the head coaching gig with the Buffalo Bills,

1312
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: all about leadership, and he's been really good at it obviously,

1313
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: and then this offseason he has said it has become

1314
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: even more important going forward. So we put the question

1315
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: to you, our listeners, what do you think makes a

1316
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:27,560
Speaker 1: good listener? And we got a bunch of replies that

1317
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna read to you. We've we read a couple

1318
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: of them, but from Jack, he says, what makes a

1319
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 1: good Let's see for him what makes an effective leader

1320
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: and why. He says a leader is someone who gets

1321
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 1: out in front and doesn't get orders, but says, follow me,

1322
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,679
Speaker 1: let's do this together. Leaders listen and adapt their roles

1323
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: situation or stance is needed. Leaders will give praise but

1324
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: aren't afraid to address hard issues, even step on a

1325
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 1: few toes to get results. As from Jack about what

1326
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: it takes to be a leader, it's and you gotta

1327
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:03,560
Speaker 1: think too. For the average person, Maddie, and I know

1328
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: you've been an athlete as well, it takes a lot

1329
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: of courage and a lot of security and who you

1330
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: are to step out in front of a team, your

1331
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: team and say, hey, this is how we should do it,

1332
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,560
Speaker 1: and here's why. Let's go. I'm with you, let's do

1333
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 1: it together. It takes a lot of courage to put

1334
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: yourself out there and put yourself kind of at the

1335
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: center of attention in front of a group of people

1336
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: who you can only hope at some point, at some

1337
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: points you can only hope that they are are on

1338
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: the same wavelength as you. I mean, they're ready to

1339
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: do that. Takes a little courage to do that, and

1340
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: that's why, particularly at the pro level. You know, a

1341
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: young player, it's hard for him to step into a

1342
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: room full of grown men who've been doing it for

1343
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: a while and say Okay, here's how it is, you know,

1344
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: because it's it's hard to find that credibility in yourself. Yeah,

1345
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: And you hear so many young leaders in the NFL

1346
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: they lead by example. You hear that phrase a lot

1347
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 1: attach their instead of being vocal leaders. I think that's

1348
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: something a lot of younger players learn how to add

1349
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: that to their leadership qualities and what they can give.

1350
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: And I think someone that we're watching on this Bill's

1351
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 1: roster that is right on the brink of turning into

1352
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 1: more of a vocal leader is Tremaine Edmonds. And we

1353
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 1: heard Lorenzo Alexander earlier this week talk exactly about that

1354
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 1: with Tremaine and some of the leadership steps that he's

1355
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: been taking. And Train is somebody who has always been

1356
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: a leader from the get go, at least on the

1357
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: Bills rosters, because he's the mic, he's the middle linebacker,

1358
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: he's the quarterback of the defense. He's calling things out

1359
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 1: to the defense. But with his play and how talented

1360
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: he is on this team, he leads by example in

1361
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 1: his work ethic and in what he does in the

1362
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: linebacker room. But Lorenzo Alexander talked about now that I

1363
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: have retired and he was a big leader in that room,

1364
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: that Tremaine is taking over some of that leadership, and

1365
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: that part of that leadership is talking and stepping up

1366
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 1: and being the voice in that room, with which Lorenzo said,

1367
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Tremaine isn't That's not something that he just gravitated towards

1368
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 1: right away. That's something that he's building towards and learning

1369
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: how to do. And I think when you learn how

1370
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: to speak up and you learn how to be a

1371
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: vocal leader, that's a sign of just how much you've

1372
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: matured in the league. Yeah, And earlier in the show,

1373
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: we read some other tweets and responses to what's it take,

1374
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: what's it real? An effective leader? What makes an effective leader?

1375
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: And why? We got wide ranging answers that had nothing

1376
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: to do with football, particularly in the given climate that

1377
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: we're living in. And this last one from the tweet

1378
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: sheet from Pat is kind of along those lines of

1379
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 1: what makes an effective leader and why Pat says, I

1380
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: believe a leader should teach the importance of teamwork like

1381
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: a family, bring out the best in each and every

1382
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: one on the team on and off the field, find

1383
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 1: what they do best, then focus on making them better

1384
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 1: with their God given talents and really listen to what

1385
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: they have to say. That last line, listening to what

1386
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: people have to say, I think kind of gets forgotten

1387
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 1: in a lot of the dialogue when you talk about

1388
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: a leadership, because you know, so many times you see

1389
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 1: the leaders the guy who's it's also they they give

1390
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 1: the same meaning to leader and spokesperson, right, and it's

1391
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: not always the same thing. Because and I remember this,

1392
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 1: we had Corney has been in on just a few

1393
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: minutes ago, and it reminded me of what it was

1394
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 1: like on that team. And I said this earlier in

1395
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: the season, earlier in the show, in the week we said,

1396
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 1: you know some one of the reasons that was surprised.

1397
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: One of the things that surprised that team that I

1398
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: was on back in the nineties was that we didn't

1399
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: have any hazing for the young guys that came in

1400
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 1: the in the building. It was kind of a tradition

1401
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 1: that old guy, old veterans on the football team would

1402
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: put young players, you know, make their life miserable for

1403
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 1: a while, kind of to earn their credibility and their respect.

1404
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 1: And that was not how we did it on our team.

1405
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 1: Once you were deemed to be on the team. You

1406
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: were on the team no matter what. And inconcus with that,

1407
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: you were given responsibility, and that responsibility was having your

1408
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: own voice. You had a responsibility that if you saw

1409
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: something in a meeting, or in a film session, or

1410
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: on a practice field or in the locker room, you

1411
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: were supposed to speak up and you were supposed your

1412
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 1: opinion mattered. And sometimes that gets lost when you talk

1413
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:22,600
Speaker 1: about a leader who some of you, who stands up

1414
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: and says how it's gonna be, this is what we're

1415
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,799
Speaker 1: gonna do, let's go, and you know, inspires everybody, no question.

1416
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 1: But part of what made that team that I was

1417
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: on so good was the quality in guys like Jim Kelly,

1418
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith, thermatonomous corney has been at Darryl Talley, Kent Hull,

1419
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: and all those guys shared that in common was their

1420
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: willingness to listen to guys like me and a guy's

1421
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: like covering kicks, rookie free agents, guys who they didn't

1422
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: hadn't he had only been there a month. They would

1423
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 1: listen to those guys. They would listen to him and

1424
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 1: make sure those guys felt understood or at least were heard,

1425
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: and I think that goes that really has gone a

1426
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: long way, I think for this football team in Buffalo

1427
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 1: now the way it did back in the nineties. These

1428
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: guys all feel like they're accepted and love for who

1429
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 1: they are and their whole story is known. You know,

1430
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: they got you know it's Seana. Let's these guys stand

1431
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 1: up and tell their story. They feel like they have

1432
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: a voice and they're not gonna their head's not gonna

1433
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 1: get bitten off when they when they chime in from

1434
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: the back row saying hey, wait a minute. You know,

1435
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: they feel comfortable there and that that makes for a

1436
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 1: really productive work environment, I think, and I think it

1437
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: shows on the football field. Yeah. I think when you

1438
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: understand each other and you understand where somebody's come from

1439
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: and their experiences and what makes them the person that

1440
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 1: they are today. Um, what they've had to go through

1441
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: in life, whether it was a tough upbringing or something

1442
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: that really defines them. When you get to hear that

1443
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: and you share that with the people on your team

1444
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: and on your roster, there's a better understanding. There's there's

1445
01:14:56,360 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: more opportunity for love because you understand and then at

1446
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: the end of the day, when when you get onto

1447
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: the field, you're gonna play your best for that person

1448
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,639
Speaker 1: because you understand where they came from. And I think

1449
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 1: that's a top of good conversation right now with what's

1450
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 1: going on in the world, is to listen and to

1451
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: learn and to understand each other, absolutely right. And I

1452
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: think you know we're seeing that in the responses. We

1453
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 1: get to our tweet sheet and we got also, since

1454
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, since it's like twenty two, let's

1458
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 1: What's for lunch? This is where we name a few

1459
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 1: items like this or that, kind of let's say you

1460
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 1: take this or that. It's column A and column B,

1461
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give you two things, and you're gonna

1462
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: tell me which one you would rather have kind of thing. Okay,

1463
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: what's for lunch? Here's the first item on the menu.

1464
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 1: Bigger AFC North storyline? This is uh, you know, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati,

1465
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: Bigger AFC North storyline? Is it? Big Ben? Ben Roethlisberger's

1466
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:01,799
Speaker 1: return or Lamar Jackson building off of his MVP twenty

1467
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: nineteen season. He's a Big Ben coming back or is

1468
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: it Lamar Jackson coming back and end defend his MVP title.

1469
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: What's the bigger story in that division. I've got to

1470
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 1: say it's Big Ben coming back. I think that was

1471
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 1: such a storyline last year. I think now his his

1472
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: comeback is even an even bigger storyline. And one thing

1473
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: that I think about just what's happened already with his

1474
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: story of his return, is he grew this big beard man.

1475
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 1: He wasn't gonna he wasn't going to shave it off

1476
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 1: until he felt like he could throw normally. And the

1477
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 1: Steelers released this video of him with this beard explaining

1478
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:42,560
Speaker 1: that he's not going to shave this off until he

1479
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 1: feels like he can throw a football again, and then

1480
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: it cuts to him throwing a football again and it

1481
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 1: said something like Big Ben's back or something along the lines.

1482
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: And I know that that had to charge up the

1483
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: Steelers community, and I'm sure they were super pumped to

1484
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,839
Speaker 1: see that video. But I think that's that's a big storyline.

1485
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: Also because of the quarterbacks that are in the league

1486
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: right now and how many young quarterbacks we're seeing, and

1487
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: he's a quarterback that the Bills are going to have

1488
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 1: to play against this year. And it's always interesting to

1489
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: me to see the evolution of the quarterbacks. What's what's

1490
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 1: new age right now in the NFL, which is Josh Allen,

1491
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, These younger guys that are really talented in

1492
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: the run game as well as the passing game. But

1493
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 1: then there's guys like Big Ben and Philip Rivers and

1494
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,759
Speaker 1: Tom Brady who are You're now considered your older age

1495
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL. So I'd say that's a bigger

1496
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 1: storyline for me. Yeah, I think I see your point too,

1497
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: because you know, Ben's an MVP, he's a Super Bowl

1498
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,720
Speaker 1: champion as well, and he's coming back. The fact that

1499
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: he is, you know, he's long in the tooth, let's say,

1500
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: and he is kind of that old time quarterback, is

1501
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: that that's an interesting storyline because is he going to

1502
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: be able to resurrect the entire organization? You know, they

1503
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: were down last year because of his absence, and we'll see.

1504
01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: But I think, unlike you, I think Lamar Jackson is

1505
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 1: actually the bigger storyline because their offense was so different

1506
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 1: than everybody else's last year and Lamar Jackson was the

1507
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 1: MVP last year in that offense. How far will that

1508
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:17,839
Speaker 1: offense evolve this year to the point where Lamar Jackson

1509
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 1: can re can redo that success, that can recreate that

1510
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 1: success that he had last year as an MVP. Will

1511
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: he be able to build on it? Will he be

1512
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 1: able to get better? Will that offense take another step

1513
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 1: in in the passing game? Will they you know? Will

1514
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: they you know? Will they be able? Will everybody have

1515
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: an answer for what they did last year? The Bills

1516
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 1: had a pretty good answer. But Lamar Jackson is the

1517
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 1: ultimate weapon. I mean, that guy can run a fourthe

1518
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:44,720
Speaker 1: you can not run anybody on the field, and he's

1519
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 1: got the ball in his hands every play and he

1520
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: can he can throw it. He's not Ben Roethlisberger when

1521
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: he throws it, but man, the guy can sling it

1522
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 1: and it's and it's a weapon. I think that's a

1523
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 1: much more interesting story to me because that's a team

1524
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: that went to the playoffs last year and had operations

1525
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: on getting to the super Bowl and was one and done.

1526
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: So I think that's, to me, is a more relevant

1527
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: and interesting story neck going forward this year. I think

1528
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 1: big rather than They're both great stories, no question about it,

1529
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 1: but I like Lamar Jackson's story a little better. What's

1530
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 1: for Lunch? Number two? Callum a LA team? Which LA

1531
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 1: team is primed to have a better twenty twenty season?

1532
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: Colum Air Columbia A the Chargers or be the Rams?

1533
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:30,760
Speaker 1: Which team is poised to have a better season? I

1534
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: think the Rams. I think that the Chargers. There's so

1535
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 1: many questions with that team. You look at quarterback, you're

1536
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: not sure who you're starting quarterback is going to be there.

1537
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 1: They have Justin Herbert, but who's going to be your

1538
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: starter with the Ramsey have Jared Goff. You have some

1539
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: good players on defense, and they did really well and

1540
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: their passing game last season. I mean, Jared Goff not

1541
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 1: the best quarterback out there, but I would say they're

1542
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: primed to have a better twenty twenty season than the Chargers.

1543
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: Interesting question because it's been accepted to the Chargers had

1544
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 1: a really nice roster last year, or they thought they

1545
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: had a really nice roster. Their offensive line wasn't what

1546
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 1: it should have been. Therefore their running game suffered. Philip

1547
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Rivers couldn't throw the football effectively because Philip Rivers is

1548
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 1: only Ben Roethlisberg. He's not running anywhere, so they had

1549
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 1: to protect him. They didn't, and their team, who had

1550
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:30,640
Speaker 1: a pretty good roster or accepted roster, underperformed because of

1551
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 1: one position group that couldn't hold up. It's into the

1552
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 1: bargain and therefore everybody else suffered for it. So I

1553
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: think if you fix that, which Tyrod Taylor may be

1554
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 1: able to, Justin Herbert may be able to. And I

1555
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,679
Speaker 1: think also the fact that they knew, they finally figured

1556
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: out that their offensive line was an issue and addressed it.

1557
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 1: If they could do that, that was good. But on

1558
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: the other hand, I'm kind of with you. The Rams

1559
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: were in the Super Bowl and the recent memory, and

1560
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: they had a down year last year after getting blown

1561
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: out in the sup will out they got lost. They

1562
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: lost by what ten or eleven points in the Super Bowl,

1563
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 1: but they only scored three points after having an offensive year.

1564
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: That was just unbelievable. And because of that, I can't

1565
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 1: I kind of think the Rams might have a little

1566
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:14,679
Speaker 1: bit left in the tank. Now. They've lost some players,

1567
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: no question about it, But I'm losing or running back

1568
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: like Todd Gurley. Yeah, it's a running back, right I mean,

1569
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 1: those guys are like spare tires to me. I'm not

1570
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,639
Speaker 1: not to belittle it, but you can find really good athletes.

1571
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking I'm kind of with you. I think

1572
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:30,640
Speaker 1: I'll take the LA Rams this year. I think they

1573
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: will have a better season than the LA Chargers. So

1574
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 1: I think that that's We'll just have a quick lunch.

1575
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: There are two items on the lunch. You're taking Ben,

1576
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm taking Lamar Jackson. You're taking Big Ben as the

1577
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: better story, and we're both taking the Rams over the Chargers.

1578
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Is having a better season in LA marketing. Okay, all right,

1579
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 1: that's what's for lunch. Were We're going to come back

1580
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more to talk about at the than

1581

Speaker 1: Mattie Glad One Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health

1590
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: and this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to One

1591
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,639
Speaker 1: Bill's Lives. Mattie. We've been Steve task One with Matti Glad. Mattie,

1592
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 1: we've been talking about and everywhere around us we're getting

1593
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: these little scent signs and hints that stuff's opening up.

1594
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: Right Western New York's in phase two. And we've got

1595
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,760
Speaker 1: this list of our co workers at One Bill's Drive

1596
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: that can go back in and they've got all these

1597
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 1: protocols they've got to follow, and they got to get

1598
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: their temperature taken and all that stuff. And around the country.

1599
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: You know, in Texas now the governor says you can

1600
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 1: have college stadiums open stuff, but you only can have

1601
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: half the people there, I guess, meaning they got to

1602
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,599
Speaker 1: stay apart, right, you can't sit next to each other

1603
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,440
Speaker 1: or there's they got to have at least the ability

1604
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 1: if they want to, to go to a place where

1605
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: they can stand in isolation from the for their fellow

1606
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 1: fans and watch the game. Also, we've got you know,

1607
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 1: did you see that, did you see the media the

1608
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: video clip of Melvin Gordon when he was on the

1609
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: show and it was all remote, you know, He's like

1610
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: they were on the little window skypes and they said,

1611
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 1: what do you think it's gonna be like if you

1612
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: don't play with you don't how many fans in the stands?

1613
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon said, he plays for the San Diego Charger

1614
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 1: or Sanciso San Francisco, San Diego from California Chargers, right

1615
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,560
Speaker 1: for the LA Chargers, and all of us know the

1616
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:45,679
Speaker 1: Chargers been playing in that soccer stadium for like three years,

1617
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:48,559
Speaker 1: right and then and it's a twenty five twenty five

1618
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 1: thousand seat Statumo Buffalo, he's got seventy five thousand. They've

1619
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 1: got twenty five thousand people in the stadium and they're

1620
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 1: all from the other team. Right. So they asked him

1621
01:23:57,720 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: as hey, what's it gonna be like for you guys

1622
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 1: as a charge to play in front of no fans?

1623
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 1: And he said, we don't have any fans anyway. She

1624
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: shot to the heart boom and he dropped that little

1625
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 1: bomb and walked off. Right, It's true their home games

1626
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 1: were away games, right, what do you and so, I mean,

1627
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 1: what do you really think it's gonna look like when

1628
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: there are no fans in the stands, Maddie Man. I

1629
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: hope there are fans in the stands, And of course

1630
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: we don't know if there will be or not, because

1631
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:31,560
Speaker 1: there is no official word on this from from the

1632
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: NFL powers that be and everything that has to go

1633
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: into considering fans or no fans. But if there were

1634
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 1: no fans, I just think of New Airfield, and I

1635
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: think of the stadiums and the fan bases that have

1636
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 1: such an advantage when they have home games because of

1637
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: the way that their fans, fans stack the place and

1638
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 1: stack the stadium. And to think about the power that

1639
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: builds my FIA brings a home game, and to think

1640
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: about how much that power would be electrified for some

1641
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 1: of these Sunday night primetime games. I'm like, we need,

1642
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:13,680
Speaker 1: we need the fans in the stands to be able

1643
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: to play their part when the opposing team is on

1644
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:21,600
Speaker 1: offense and to just go wild and get some penalties

1645
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 1: because fans can do that, all right, thinkright, think, all right, yeah,

1646
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: I get it, You're right, and I've we've all seen it.

1647
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: The fans take over a game, you know, I mean,

1648
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 1: it's just they become a factor. But think about this

1649
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 1: now and I'll say this, So the Bills go to Miami,

1650
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas to Tennessee, the Jets at Arizona, at

1651
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco, at Denver, and at New England, do any

1652
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 1: of those games become easier because they're not going to

1653
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 1: have their fans there. Your road games, they're not so bad, now,

1654
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 1: right you get Now see in the games we have

1655
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:06,000
Speaker 1: at home, you get Pittsburgh and the Chargers at home,

1656
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 1: you get Seattle, New England at home, Kansas City at home.

1657
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:12,639
Speaker 1: You could use the fans for games like that, right,

1658
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: But if you're going to those cities or any other cities,

1659
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: you don't have to fight that. So is it that's

1660
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,639
Speaker 1: kind of a we can get a Twitter poll out

1661
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:23,800
Speaker 1: of this, I guess. But what do you think is

1662
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 1: it worth not having any road disadvantage in exchange for

1663
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: no home field advantage? What do you think? I think

1664
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: it's for Buffalo fans, it's gotta be. You gotta need

1665
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: your home field, right, Yeah, you gotta need your home field.

1666
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:40,519
Speaker 1: I'm more ride or die with having our fans in

1667
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 1: the stands rather than not having opposing fans in the stands.

1668
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:48,640
Speaker 1: And I think about last year's game against the Steelers,

1669
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: which was in Pittsburgh, and our fans travel. That's another

1670
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 1: point of the conversation is our fans stack opposing stadiums.

1671
01:26:58,120 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 1: They did that for the Titans game and did it

1672
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 1: for the Steelers game. They do that for a lot

1673
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 1: of games. And to think about I mean, I don't

1674
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: travel with the team, but to see it on the

1675
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: game broadcast and how much blue was in those stands

1676
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,719
Speaker 1: and those stadiums. I think they even help out away games.

1677
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: And the way that they could flip an away game

1678
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: at the Titans game, it was fifty fifty Titans fans

1679
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:27,760
Speaker 1: Bills fans a college football bowl game. Yeah, you said,

1680
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 1: you said you're gonna ride or die with Bills fans.

1681
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:32,080
Speaker 1: I like that. I gotta I gotta get a T

1682
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: shirt with that on there or something, ride or die

1683
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 1: with Bills fans. That's good, and I get it. You're right.

1684
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:40,719
Speaker 1: It's it's different, and I think there are a certain

1685
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 1: team will like the Chargers, they're gonna benefit by this.

1686
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: Instead of having sixteen away games, they're not gonna have any.

1687
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 1: They're all gonna be neutral sight games, you know, nose

1688
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:54,960
Speaker 1: fans and stands in in La, no fans in the

1689
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: stands and anywhere else they play. That's a huge, I

1690
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:01,040
Speaker 1: think boost for that club. Uh, it's going to be

1691
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: really really different for the teams. And but for Kansas

1692
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:08,440
Speaker 1: City Chiefs playing at home in Arrowhead without fans, they

1693
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 1: may be crippled by that. I mean, they may be

1694
01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 1: crippled by that. So that's the same thing with Seattle.

1695
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: They've got a huge fan bay, a loud fan base,

1696
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: great stadium, you know, built for focusing sound down on

1697
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 1: the field too. A lot of that going on, you know.

1698
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:29,639
Speaker 1: So there's Denver, Mile High is a loud stadium. You've

1699
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 1: got some places that are known for it. And of

1700
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:36,679
Speaker 1: course Buffalo, I mean, Matt, you not too many people

1701
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:42,560
Speaker 1: under the age of twenty five can even remember a

1702
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 1: home playoff game, right, if at all? The last home

1703
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 1: playoff game was what five ninety six something like that.

1704
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: It's a long long way in the distant past. Let

1705
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 1: me just tell you something. There is nothing like it.

1706
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 1: There's nothing and like it. That game starts on Monday

1707
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 1: after you find out you've got a home playoff game.

1708
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: That's when the game starts on Monday, six days before

1709
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: the game. And it is a train is a railroad,

1710
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:17,959
Speaker 1: locomotive coming down the tracks and it and it arrives

1711
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday. It is a massive, massive difference to have

1712
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 1: a home playoff game in Buffalo than it would be

1713
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,679
Speaker 1: to have it in like we say San Diego Chargers

1714
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 1: or the La Chargers in a soccer stadium when it's

1715
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna be Bills fans. It is even that it is

1716
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 1: a massive difference from any of the game you'll be

1717
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:43,120
Speaker 1: because the game starts so long before the game starts,

1718
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 1: and the anticipation and the buzz and the excitement and

1719
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 1: everywhere you turn in every yard and every person and

1720
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 1: every everywhere you go, it is about that game. And

1721
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: people absolutely lose their minds and game day gets there

1722
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,840
Speaker 1: and the parking lot isn't is an absolute you know,

1723
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:08,960
Speaker 1: it's an apocalyptic scene. It's amazing. So in those type

1724
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:14,600
Speaker 1: situations you can't you can't quantify it, you know, you

1725
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:16,599
Speaker 1: can just you just have to look at and say, wow,

1726
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 1: there it is. It's it's like trying to quantify a sunset.

1727
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:22,519
Speaker 1: You know, you can't say it's beautiful. Is different then

1728
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 1: says wow, it kind of grabs you emotionally whole. You

1729
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 1: kind of you know, kind of makes you think about

1730
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 1: yourself and where you stay there. It's like, that's what

1731
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 1: it's like. Trying to describe a home playoff game in Buffalo.

1732
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 1: It's like trying to describe a sunset or a sunrise.

1733
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:37,400
Speaker 1: There's something a little more to it than you can

1734
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:40,560
Speaker 1: put in there. So it is going to be a

1735
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:42,599
Speaker 1: difference if there are no fans in the stands throughout

1736
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 1: this season. It is going to be a difference for

1737
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 1: some of these teams more than others. And I think

1738
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be really interesting to watch that take place,

1739
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:51,639
Speaker 1: and for however long it is, and whether it's fifty

1740
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 1: percent or thirty percent, I don't know. It would be

1741
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 1: interesting to see what percentages fall to the NFL after

1742
01:30:57,439 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 1: seeing the Texas is allowing fifty percent of their fans. Yeah,

1743
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:04,120
Speaker 1: and I hope it's at least some percent. And we'll

1744
01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 1: see how these college games get started, because their season

1745
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 1: starts about a week or two earlier, so it'll be

1746
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 1: interesting to see how they fill those stadiums. Because college

1747
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 1: stadiums are big. Tennessee could fit one hundred and two

1748
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 1: thousand people in that stadium. There's not every stadium is

1749
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 1: that big, but there's quite a few that are huge,

1750
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:25,439
Speaker 1: so they may be able to space out better than

1751
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:29,000
Speaker 1: some other NFL stadiums that don't fit as many people. Yeah,

1752
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Okay, Well, coming up Dean Marlow

1753
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 1: after the break Safety for the Buffalo Bills're gonna talk

1754
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:38,639
Speaker 1: about his last week, the volunteerism he did. He's also

1755
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:41,960
Speaker 1: giving blood as well. Coming up in the next few days,

1756
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:43,639
Speaker 1: He's going to be a blood donor as well. There's

1757
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 1: a big push for that because of the medical industry

1758
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:48,560
Speaker 1: being taxed to its limits. That's kind of part of

1759
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 1: the problem, not having enough blood to transfuse to people

1760
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 1: who are sick. He's got worse to say about that.

1761
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:56,599
Speaker 1: Dean Marlow coming up after the top of the hour,

1762
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: and also a two thirty Leslie Frasier, defensive coordinator of

1763
01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, come on back and join us. Kalida

1764
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 1: Health presents One Bills Live and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1765
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 1: Oh A Great Time Old by Steve Flasper, Sustine sucks

1766
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:32,439
Speaker 1: down bus dost Buffalo over Time. Welcome back to one

1767
01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 1: of Bill's lives. Steve task along with Maddie Glabin. A

1768
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:36,679
Speaker 1: couple of minutes, we're gonna have Bills safety Dean Marlow

1769
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 1: on the phone with us. He's a defensive back since

1770
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 1: two thou seventeen. He's in his fifth season with you

1771
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:45,879
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's with Carolina and Buffalo Carolina Panthers

1772
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: also before he coming to Buffalo. He's one of those

1773
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 1: guys that Maddie. There's been a ton of them and

1774
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 1: we talked about every once in a while, every time

1775
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:56,080
Speaker 1: one of them comes up um pipeline from Carolina to Buffalo,

1776
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 1: which for me, he's been pretty productive, pretty starting with

1777
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:02,240
Speaker 1: the head coach and GM. I'm I'm not really complaining

1778
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:05,840
Speaker 1: about any Carolina people they bring in here, because, Ah,

1779
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: I like them all. They've all helped, They've all been

1780
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:11,280
Speaker 1: good people, and I'm glad that the Bills have got

1781
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: them on the roster. Dean Marlow's just the latest example. Yeah,

1782
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills Carolina Panthers connection is alive and well,

1783
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 1: and I think it will be for as long as

1784
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 1: the staff is in place in Buffalo. And I mean,

1785
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 1: they're bringing some great guys over who fit into the

1786
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 1: locker room and the culture of this team. And Dean

1787
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 1: Marlow has definitely played a role on the field, and

1788
01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:36,479
Speaker 1: I think has earned his way and his snaps that

1789
01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 1: he's had. He's somebody who plays a lot on special teams,

1790
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,360
Speaker 1: but now we see him a lot in this big

1791
01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 1: nickel role on defense, which which he fits in. And

1792
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:50,000
Speaker 1: this offseason, Jim Sealgado when the defensive assistance, got named

1793
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 1: as a nickel coach, which is something you don't see

1794
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 1: all the time in the NFL. But I do think

1795
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 1: this nickel role, this big nickel role, is something that

1796
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: a lot more teams are adding to their defense because

1797
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: it works in the NFL against these more new age

1798
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 1: offenses that you're seeing that our run heavy, pass heavy, um,

1799
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 1: spread it out football teams. And uh, it's interesting that

1800
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 1: that he has been able to find this niche for

1801
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 1: himself and earn those reps on the field and in

1802
01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:24,680
Speaker 1: this defense. Yeah, defenses in the NFL are about, you know,

1803
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 1: so many times now they're about, you know, finding a

1804
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 1: way to use guys. And there used to be all

1805
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:31,639
Speaker 1: these guys that were called tweeners. Too big to play

1806
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:34,479
Speaker 1: deep play defensive lineman, too small or too big to

1807
01:34:34,560 --> 01:34:38,519
Speaker 1: play linebacker, too small to play defensive line or too

1808
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:41,600
Speaker 1: big to play safety, not big enough to play linebacker.

1809
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 1: But now with the athleticism and the and the versatility

1810
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:48,000
Speaker 1: of the offenses. You really just need an athlete, and

1811
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 1: that's what Dean Marlow has been. So let's let's talk

1812
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 1: to the teen Marlow on the line with us. Now

1813
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,840
Speaker 1: defense build defensive back since twenty seventeen. Came from Carolina. Dean,

1814
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker and Mattie glab Thanks for taking a couple

1815
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 1: of minutes and coming up on with us. How are

1816
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 1: you doing? No problem, I'm good, I'm good. Thanks for

1817
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:05,760
Speaker 1: having me. You bet tell us a little bit. You

01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:39,960
Speaker 1: listen I want to volunteer to come out and clean

1830
01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 1: up the protests that started out as peaceful, and there's

1831
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:45,680
Speaker 1: a ton of and we're all about the peaceful protesters,

1832
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:48,519
Speaker 1: but you know, the periphery and the violence and the

1833
01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:51,479
Speaker 1: and the vandalism that went on and the looting and

1834
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:53,640
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff is always outside the lines. And

1835
01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:57,640
Speaker 1: you volunteered to come in and volunteer to clean up.

1836
01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:01,080
Speaker 1: Tell us about that, you know what what brought you

1837
01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 1: to that, and how that went, what happened after you

1838
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:08,400
Speaker 1: did volunteer. UM, So we um Obviously we knew what

1839
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,960
Speaker 1: was going on, you know, around the city and around

1840
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:15,280
Speaker 1: the world. And you know what I mean, my wife,

1841
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 1: we've been here for a couple of years and you know,

1842
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:20,200
Speaker 1: we embraced the city, you know, like it's hours. I

1843
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 1: know we're not from here, but I mean when you're

1844
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 1: when you're a Buffalo bill, when you're a resident, it's

1845
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:28,800
Speaker 1: just something about Buffalo that an extremely blue collar and

1846
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 1: it's it's like a different it's a different city that

1847
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 1: no one, you know, really can experience. It's just that

1848
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:38,640
Speaker 1: people here are great, um, and it's just you know,

1849
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 1: we we've seen what went on, and you know, we

1850
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 1: wanted to help. I mean that's I feel like the

1851
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:46,600
Speaker 1: first thing that came to our mind is like what

1852
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:48,680
Speaker 1: can we do to be the better in help? Like,

1853
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:50,600
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of bad things going on,

1854
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 1: but what can we do to help? And um, you know,

1855
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, if anybody can can reach

1856
01:36:57,080 --> 01:36:59,080
Speaker 1: out to us or and we can meet up with

1857
01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:02,760
Speaker 1: somebody and and try to go clean up and you know,

1858
01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 1: just respond in a way of like love and just

1859
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 1: appreciation for one another. And we went outside and we

1860
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:16,560
Speaker 1: walked around downtown. My wife's talked to a couple of

1861
01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:19,600
Speaker 1: people that she knows around the city and she was

1862
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 1: telling us different areas that were more destructive than others

1863
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:28,640
Speaker 1: and blah blah. We live downtown Buhalo. So um, by

1864
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:30,560
Speaker 1: the time we got out there, I mean, everything was

1865
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:35,720
Speaker 1: like extremely clean and things were boarded up. But you know,

1866
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:38,840
Speaker 1: just for this whole past week, we were our offers

1867
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:41,120
Speaker 1: sell on the table if anybody needs help with anything,

1868
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 1: and if anybody wants to talk about anything. You know,

1869
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:46,880
Speaker 1: we're here to help people and do the right thing.

1870
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,800
Speaker 1: Deany you being in the NFL and the athlete that

1871
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 1: you are, you have a bigger platform and a bigger

1872
01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 1: voice than some people are given. So with what's going

1873
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 1: on in our world right now, with the platform that

1874
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:04,640
Speaker 1: you have, what's your reaction to what's been going on?

1875
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 1: And how can we help in times like this and

1876
01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 1: not not just today, not just tomorrow, how can we

1877
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 1: help forever? Well, you know, it's it's interesting because you know,

1878
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm a biracial kid. You know, my mom's white, my

1879
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,600
Speaker 1: dad's black. You know, I have a whole bunch of

1880
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:22,719
Speaker 1: white family members. I have a whole bunch of black

1881
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:26,559
Speaker 1: family members. And I never grew up, you know, thinking

1882
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 1: about what color was and how I look at somebody

1883
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:32,840
Speaker 1: towards you know, what color they are. And you know,

1884
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:34,760
Speaker 1: I just I was just saying, I mean, life is

1885
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: just about people. It's not about color. You know, we're

1886
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: all different, we all grew up with different backgrounds, you know,

1887
01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 1: and it doesn't mean that we all have to be

1888
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:49,200
Speaker 1: argumented live against each other. And there are a lot

1889
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:53,120
Speaker 1: of peaceful protesters, and I stand for the peaceful, peaceful

1890
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 1: protesters and fighting for human rights should be done, like

1891
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 1: I said in my tweet last week, but there are

1892
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:04,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are taking an advantage of that.

1893
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:07,760
Speaker 1: And you know, there's also a lot of innocent people

1894
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:12,640
Speaker 1: who are losing their lives in these riots, and I mean,

1895
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:15,880
Speaker 1: I think their lives matter too. And um, you know

1896
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:19,840
Speaker 1: my mom, she was a twenty year NYPD officer. She's

1897
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:22,760
Speaker 1: retired now. And you know, I have family members who

1898
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 1: are who are cops. I got cousins who are cops.

1899
01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 1: I have my stepdad is of retired targeant. So there

1900
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: are great cops. There are great cops, and there are

1901
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:34,639
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta take the good with the bad,

1902
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 1: and there's good people, there's bad people. So you know,

1903
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm just I know that everyone is angry about the

1904
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:44,360
Speaker 1: whole injustice going on, but at the end of the day,

1905
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, we have to come together. And if you

1906
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:49,880
Speaker 1: put everybody in the dark room, we all look alike

1907
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 1: and we all can help each other. And my biggest

1908
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:56,240
Speaker 1: thing I would say is, you know, proximity breeds empathy,

1909
01:39:56,880 --> 01:40:00,240
Speaker 1: and if we all come together become close, you know,

1910
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:04,679
Speaker 1: we can understand and listen and learn and educate ourselves

1911
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:08,000
Speaker 1: on you know, how someone grew up and their whole

1912
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:12,680
Speaker 1: life lessons. Yeah, I agree with you, Dina, And it's

1913
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 1: true that during all this thing you talked about the

1914
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 1: injustice that that kind of insided this with the police brutality,

1915
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:21,960
Speaker 1: you know as well as anybody because your family members

1916
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,879
Speaker 1: are police. There are good and bad in the police department.

1917
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 1: There's good and bad in the in the peaceful protesters,

1918
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,240
Speaker 1: there's good and bad even in the riders and looters.

1919
01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:33,519
Speaker 1: And there's good and bad and just us who are

1920
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,719
Speaker 1: sitting at home watching it on TV. And somehow, somehow

1921
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 1: we've got to reach out and and understand each other

1922
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:44,560
Speaker 1: in a better way so that none of us have

1923
01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 1: to do things that are unjust in the eyes of

1924
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 1: all of us. Yep, I totally agree. I gotta I

1925
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,160
Speaker 1: gotta tell you too. You say you live in downtown Buffalo,

1926
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 1: if you made Buffalo your home throughout the entire season

1927
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: or year round, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, me and me

1928
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:04,920
Speaker 1: and the wife are looking to buy a home in

1929
01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 1: Calieu towards the end of this year. I'll probably say

1930
01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 1: we're going house hunting in a little bit the next

1931
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: couple of months and trying to see what fits us best.

1932
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 1: But yes, like during the off season, you know, we

1933
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 1: make Buffalo home here for the last two years. That's

1934
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:23,800
Speaker 1: good to hear. And I gotta ask you too, this

1935
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 1: has been a tough off season. It's been a different

1936
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:28,760
Speaker 1: you got like you said you've and I'll just say

1937
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:31,519
Speaker 1: you've had it better this offseason than most of us.

1938
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,840
Speaker 1: Being a newlywed, I'll just say that. So you're better

1939
01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:37,400
Speaker 1: to hunker down than anybody. But I gotta I'll say

1940
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:39,960
Speaker 1: this as well. Um, it's been tough to It's gotta

1941
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:41,760
Speaker 1: be tough to stay in shape. I mean Buffalo. The

1942
01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:45,600
Speaker 1: weather here was cruddy all the way through April and

1943
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:48,840
Speaker 1: mostly of May two. Um, it was hard to stay

1944
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 1: in shape. Everything was done virtually. What have you been

1945
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 1: doing to, like, you know, get ready for this season

1946
01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 1: living in Buffalo and particularly living downtown Buffalo. Yeah, so

1947
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:01,479
Speaker 1: we obviously I had to, you know, do some research.

1948
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:05,559
Speaker 1: Our strength coaches did uh an awesome job giving us

1949
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:10,120
Speaker 1: information and and contact information uh for people who have

1950
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:14,599
Speaker 1: workout stuff. So you know, I bought a whole workout, um, Jim,

1951
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:17,360
Speaker 1: and put it in and put it in our house.

1952
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:22,479
Speaker 1: It's like in our living dining area in the middle.

1953
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:24,960
Speaker 1: And we got the weight so we got everything. We

1954
01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 1: have the band um. And then you know, we bought

1955
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 1: a peloton, so we have a peloton and do some

1956
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 1: uh some Cardio and then me and a couple of

1957
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:36,600
Speaker 1: guys we are still here. We've we've migrated to a

1958
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:40,160
Speaker 1: high school field and we we go out about two

1959
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: to three times a week and work on our craft

1960
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 1: and you know, condition and all that stuff. So it's

1961
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,920
Speaker 1: it's it's been tough, and you know, it's it's been

1962
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:52,479
Speaker 1: draining and it's hard. But at the end of the day,

1963
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 1: if you if you approach it with the right attitude,

1964
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 1: it's all going to be working at the end. Dean,

1965
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,840
Speaker 1: We've been talking about the versatility on this roster from

1966
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: offense to defense. You're now seeing a lot of players

1967
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:07,880
Speaker 1: that are you can put them in the conversation of

1968
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:11,120
Speaker 1: being positionless. Yes, they fit into a category, but they

1969
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of versatility with how they play. And

1970
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:16,720
Speaker 1: I think I look at someone like you as a

1971
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: player who fits into that conversation in that category. Uh,

1972
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:23,880
Speaker 1: you play on special teams, but you've really earned a role,

1973
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 1: especially this last season, playing that big nickel role on

1974
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:30,680
Speaker 1: this defense, which is becoming more and more prominent in

1975
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. How important is that for you to to

1976
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 1: be versatile and to have found a niche on this

1977
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 1: roster where you can use your craft. Oh yeah, UM,

1978
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, so I go buy. You know, longevity is

1979
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 1: determined by you know, the more you can do. And

1980
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:53,599
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm a versatile player, like you said,

1981
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:57,479
Speaker 1: And I just think it's you know, it's it comes

1982
01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 1: down to your mental capacity and you know, to play

1983
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:02,519
Speaker 1: it as well that I have, you have to have,

1984
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, a good mental capacity as well as a

1985
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:08,560
Speaker 1: physical as well as physical talent. UM. You have to

1986
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:11,839
Speaker 1: be a leader, UM, and you just gotta be a playmaker,

1987
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:15,439
Speaker 1: you know. I'm I think I'm a I'm a resilient player, UM.

1988
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 1: And every opportunity I get when I'm on the field

1989
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 1: with UH, with all the guys, it's a it's go time.

1990
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm extremely thankful for the opportunity that I

1991
01:44:25,720 --> 01:44:29,960
Speaker 1: have and continue to have, UM being here in Buffalo.

1992
01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:32,800
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's the way the way my

1993
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,880
Speaker 1: mind works is, you know, whenever you get the opportunity

1994
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 1: going to field is UH is make it or break it.

1995
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:42,000
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta make the play. We're talking with

1996
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:44,720
Speaker 1: Dean Marlow, safety for the Buffalo Bills. He's a defensive back.

1997
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 1: He's been with the Bills since twenty seventeen. Came from

1998
01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:50,320
Speaker 1: Caroline's entering his fifth season the National Football League. We've

1999
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 1: been talking Dean about the season coming up and about

2000
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:55,680
Speaker 1: whether the fact that there may or may not be

2001
01:44:55,840 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 1: fans in the stands, and when you look at the

2002
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 1: schedule that you guys are gonna have, you gotta late

2003
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:03,559
Speaker 1: in the season. You guys got a bunch of primetime games,

2004
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:06,280
Speaker 1: you got a four o'clock game, you got some Monday night,

2005
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 1: Sunday night games. You guys are gonna be looked at

2006
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:11,120
Speaker 1: a lot. And what do you think that will be like?

2007
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: If you play the entire season without games, or without fans,

2008
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:18,160
Speaker 1: or without too many fans, without those kind of things,

2009
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:20,040
Speaker 1: how do you think that will affect you? And what

2010
01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 1: does it mean to have a primetime game and not

2011
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:25,840
Speaker 1: have anybody in the stands to watch. Well, i'm gonna

2012
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,080
Speaker 1: tell you right now, in Buffalo, New York, we got

2013
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:31,400
Speaker 1: the best fans in America. So without them being there,

2014
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to dig deep mentally. We're gonna have

2015
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:40,519
Speaker 1: to dig deep because the NFL is is just all

2016
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:44,840
Speaker 1: about the fans and for us to not have that,

2017
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:47,960
Speaker 1: if that does occur, it's gonna be hard. But you know,

2018
01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 1: coaches are gonna do everything he can to put us

2019
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 1: in the right position to know mentally for us to

2020
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 1: play the game, and just you know, it's gonna be

2021
01:45:57,200 --> 01:45:59,640
Speaker 1: just like practice, and you know we practice more than

2022
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:02,519
Speaker 1: we put so it's nothing that we wouldn't be used to.

2023
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: But it would be difficult to be interesting to see.

2024
01:46:07,640 --> 01:46:10,040
Speaker 1: But if they can make some crowd noise, if they

2025
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:13,479
Speaker 1: can do something with the technology that is and now

2026
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,759
Speaker 1: today's day there is to make it as real as possible,

2027
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:20,360
Speaker 1: that would be awesome. But you know, there's nothing, There's

2028
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 1: nothing like Bill's Mafia being there on Sunday afternoon or

2029
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 1: Sunday night, or Monday night or Thursday night. Dan, this

2030
01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 1: team made a lot of moves this offseason from offense

2031
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 1: to defense. Steph Diggs, a lot of new players on

2032
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:39,960
Speaker 1: this defensive line, what the Bills did in the draft,

2033
01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:43,560
Speaker 1: aj Epanessa, Zach Moss. When you step back and you

2034
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:46,920
Speaker 1: look at the roster, now, what are your thoughts on

2035
01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:52,120
Speaker 1: this team going into twenty twenty. I think that we

2036
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of players that are full of grit.

2037
01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:04,440
Speaker 1: They seem to want to work so hard to continue

2038
01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:08,759
Speaker 1: to show out for their teammates, and I think everyone

2039
01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 1: has a winning mentality, and when you can bring everyone

2040
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:17,840
Speaker 1: together that approaches the game like that and that not

2041
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:22,920
Speaker 1: just you know their game, but their preparation, their effort,

2042
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 1: and one their attitude, and you have all that in

2043
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:28,880
Speaker 1: one building. And it seems to me that you know,

2044
01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:31,880
Speaker 1: the guys that I did play with in Carolina, there's

2045
01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:34,679
Speaker 1: a lot of them here. There's young, a young group

2046
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 1: of guys who we just brought in seem to be

2047
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 1: on the right track. We have great coaches that put

2048
01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:43,439
Speaker 1: them in the right the right spots for them to succeed.

2049
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:46,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm excited for when we can get

2050
01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:48,960
Speaker 1: back to Buffalo and just see everyone come together and

2051
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:53,439
Speaker 1: really get after this thing. Talk to us a little

2052
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:55,400
Speaker 1: bit about that pipeline. I was saying that it's been

2053
01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:58,280
Speaker 1: kind of nice because like you and star Low to

2054
01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 1: lay coaches, GM's scouts, personnel guys, and the staff guys

2055
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 1: in the front office alone the players, there's a bunch

2056
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 1: of guys that came from Carolina, and you know, I

2057
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:12,120
Speaker 1: guess they can stop doing it when they get a

2058
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:14,120
Speaker 1: bad one. I guess because they really haven't done that.

2059
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:16,760
Speaker 1: I think all the guys they've gotten from that organization.

2060
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:19,120
Speaker 1: You know, you think back to the time that that

2061
01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:22,160
Speaker 1: was a Super Bowl organization. You got to be really

2062
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:24,680
Speaker 1: happy with how it has worked out and what has

2063
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 1: it done to the dynamic in the locker room. When

2064
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:28,800
Speaker 1: you see yet another guy come from Carolinas, it's gotta

2065
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:31,240
Speaker 1: be fun. You kind of gotta laugh about it, right, Yeah,

2066
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 1: you do. I mean, we get a lot of jokes

2067
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:37,240
Speaker 1: saying that this is the Buffalo Panthers and things like that.

2068
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:41,280
Speaker 1: But I can't tell you that. I think from Brandon

2069
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:48,719
Speaker 1: Bean to Sean McDermott, Eric Washington to me, star A. J. Klein,

2070
01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:53,400
Speaker 1: Mario Addison, Josh Norman, all of us, we were all

2071
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:56,960
Speaker 1: together on that two fifteen Super Bowl team, and we

2072
01:48:57,160 --> 01:49:01,280
Speaker 1: all have that mindset I've wanted to win and to

2073
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: a sense of togetherness and knowing your role and how

2074
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:09,720
Speaker 1: to compliment your your all, your teammate and and it

2075
01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 1: not even just stems through playing on the field. It's

2076
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 1: it's all. It's things off the field. It's you know,

2077
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 1: hanging out, uh, developing relationships with with the wives and

2078
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 1: everyone coming together. And you know, that's how our team

2079
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:26,200
Speaker 1: work in two thousand and fifteen, and I see that

2080
01:49:26,640 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 1: since coming together with this team, and and it started

2081
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:33,640
Speaker 1: last year, and I mean it really started to win,

2082
01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 1: you know McDermot and being got here in two thousand

2083
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:39,400
Speaker 1: and seventeen. But you know, as the years go on,

2084
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 1: I see it. We just start to click more and

2085
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 1: click more and click more, and it's it's interesting and

2086
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:50,040
Speaker 1: I love to see it. And I think we're headed,

2087
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, from a track from being good to now

2088
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:56,519
Speaker 1: we've got to take that step to being great. Hey, Jean,

2117
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:26,479
Speaker 1: athlete as well. When when stuff like this goes on,

2118
01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:28,759
Speaker 1: like we're all going through on a pandemic and social

2119
01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:32,680
Speaker 1: injustice and protests and stuff, you kind of look to

2120
01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:35,320
Speaker 1: see what, particularly as a young person, you look to

2121
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:37,360
Speaker 1: see what the older people in your life really think

2122
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:39,040
Speaker 1: about it. You want to get their opinion. You want

2123
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:40,840
Speaker 1: to hear, you know, have a conversation about it. You know,

2124
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,240
Speaker 1: touch base with them even and I'm sure that some

2125
01:51:43,320 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 1: of the young players defensively and otherwise, you know, they

2126
01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:48,080
Speaker 1: want to hear what Leslie Frasier has to say about all.

2127
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 1: This is a guy that played on the eighty five Bears.

2128
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:52,200
Speaker 1: You know, he's been in the league and around the

2129
01:51:52,280 --> 01:51:55,720
Speaker 1: league for a long time. And you know, guys kind

2130
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 1: of sit, you know, figuratively speaking, they sit at his

2131
01:51:57,920 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 1: feet and say, what do you what's you know? Tell

2132
01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:02,040
Speaker 1: us something you know here? And I want to hear

2133
01:52:02,080 --> 01:52:03,880
Speaker 1: what Leslie has to say about that. Was it like

2134
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:06,439
Speaker 1: that in your athletic career? You know, can you remember

2135
01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 1: as a young person saying, what's coach think about that?

2136
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:11,840
Speaker 1: You know that kind of thing? Oh yeah, I feel

2137
01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 1: like on several teams that I was on softball teams

2138
01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:18,440
Speaker 1: that I was on throughout high school or just travel softball.

2139
01:52:18,520 --> 01:52:21,960
Speaker 1: Didn't play in college, but the coach always played a

2140
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 1: role in teaching us about life too, especially being in

2141
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:27,479
Speaker 1: high school and younger than that. In growing up and

2142
01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:30,479
Speaker 1: just learning about values and what matters to you and

2143
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 1: how you should operate. The coach really helps conduct some

2144
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:36,439
Speaker 1: of those conversations. Well, we got a chance to ask

2145
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:39,400
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier right now joining us Bill's defensive coordinator. He's

2146
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:41,599
Speaker 1: assistant head coach. He's been in the NFL. He's been

2147
01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:44,000
Speaker 1: coaching in the NFL since nineteen ninety nine. He won

2148
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl twenty with Chicago Bears and those eighty five Bears.

2149
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:49,799
Speaker 1: He played corner for that team. I believe Leslie Frasier

2150
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:53,519
Speaker 1: joining us Leslie Steve Tasker, Mattie glab here on one

2151
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:56,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Thanks for joining us and taking some time out.

2152
01:52:56,160 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 1: How you doing. I'm doing good. Thank you for having me. Absolutely,

2153
01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:02,080
Speaker 1: I got to ask you first. I mean we were

2154
01:53:02,120 --> 01:53:04,320
Speaker 1: just talking about how when we were, when Maddie and

2155
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:05,960
Speaker 1: I were young athletes, and even when I was a

2156
01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:09,880
Speaker 1: pro athlete players, I looked to my coaches when when

2157
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:13,320
Speaker 1: things like what we're going through now, the pandemic secondary

2158
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:15,560
Speaker 1: to the social unrest in the protests. You know, we

2159
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:19,439
Speaker 1: you always look to your your coach. What do you think?

2160
01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:21,120
Speaker 1: You know, what do you think about this? And what

2161
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 1: have your players have your players come to you and

2162
01:53:23,080 --> 01:53:25,280
Speaker 1: ask you. I know they have and I know you

2163
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:27,320
Speaker 1: had some some things to tell them. I mean, what's

2164
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:30,679
Speaker 1: been your message and how have those conversations gone. Yeah,

2165
01:53:30,760 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 1: I just cut the till in of what when Maddy

2166
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:36,799
Speaker 1: was finishing there a moment ago. And I totally agree

2167
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 1: that a lot of times, just like you, Steve, I

2168
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:43,200
Speaker 1: would look to my coaches for some guidance. And that's

2169
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:45,479
Speaker 1: kind of what we've tried to provide here as best

2170
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:48,720
Speaker 1: we can for our players. I mean, that's searching a

2171
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:51,679
Speaker 1: little bit for some answers. And sounded a good job

2172
01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:54,360
Speaker 1: on Monday and addressing the team, and you know, we

2173
01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:57,320
Speaker 1: had a situation today where we had a chance to

2174
01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:00,439
Speaker 1: talk with them from a defensive stamp point and just

2175
01:54:01,320 --> 01:54:04,880
Speaker 1: explain my point of view and try to give them

2176
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 1: some direction and give them a chance to vote their

2177
01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:11,680
Speaker 1: thoughts as well. And uh, sometimes that helps h in

2178
01:54:11,800 --> 01:54:14,920
Speaker 1: particularly because we've had a chance with our history to

2179
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:18,679
Speaker 1: go through some of the things they're facing right now. Yeah,

2180
01:54:19,760 --> 01:54:22,120
Speaker 1: we had that. We have this Twitter question we've put

2181
01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:24,439
Speaker 1: to our listeners today and it's about what Sean McDermott

2182
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:27,920
Speaker 1: said yesterday and his remarks to the media, and we

2183
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:31,920
Speaker 1: were asking them what makes an effective leader? You know,

2184
01:54:32,040 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 1: you and Sean trying to provide leadership for your players.

2185
01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:36,320
Speaker 1: And we have you know, politicians we look to. We

2186
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:38,440
Speaker 1: have coaches we look to every and mentors in our

2187
01:54:38,480 --> 01:54:40,680
Speaker 1: lives we look to. And let me ask you. You

2188
01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:42,400
Speaker 1: are on the eighty five Bears, you had you know,

2189
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:46,440
Speaker 1: Mike Dickon and Jim mcmahonnon and Refrigerated, all those guys

2190
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:48,680
Speaker 1: that I mean, I was going to Northwestern University there

2191
01:54:48,720 --> 01:54:52,440
Speaker 1: in Chicago. I remember those teams. But even now, what

2192
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:55,040
Speaker 1: do you think in today's day and age has being

2193
01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:57,120
Speaker 1: a leader, what it meant and what it means? Has

2194
01:54:57,160 --> 01:54:58,800
Speaker 1: that changed all that much? And what do you see

2195
01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:02,520
Speaker 1: as being an effective leader? Well, I don't think it's

2196
01:55:02,640 --> 01:55:06,440
Speaker 1: it's changed over time. The effective leaders in a leader

2197
01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:09,640
Speaker 1: period as someone who has influence. And you know when

2198
01:55:09,720 --> 01:55:12,840
Speaker 1: we won a championship even Indianapolis with Tony Dungeon as

2199
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:15,440
Speaker 1: our head coach and Mike Dica as my head coach

2200
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:20,000
Speaker 1: with the Bears, those were both tremendous leaders. But you know,

2201
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:23,520
Speaker 1: different styles of leader leadership, but they were people of

2202
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 1: tremendous influence. And that's what a leader is. You have

2203
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:32,800
Speaker 1: the ability to influence people to sometimes do things that

2204
01:55:32,880 --> 01:55:36,160
Speaker 1: they sometimes think they can't do, or to influence them

2205
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:38,880
Speaker 1: in a certain direction because they want to follow you.

2206
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:43,760
Speaker 1: And that's what leadership is today, and that's what I've

2207
01:55:43,880 --> 01:55:46,080
Speaker 1: always seen it to be. Even in liberal league, my

2208
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:50,360
Speaker 1: little league baseball coach, the ones that were leaders were

2209
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:52,400
Speaker 1: the ones that I respected and wanted to follow. The

2210
01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:56,720
Speaker 1: ones in middle school or high school who were not

2211
01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:59,920
Speaker 1: people of an intet of integrity that I didn't respect,

2212
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 1: it was hard to follow because they couldn't influence me

2213
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:07,760
Speaker 1: in a right way because I saw the inequities in

2214
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:12,360
Speaker 1: their leadership, in the lack of integrity. So but that's

2215
01:56:12,600 --> 01:56:14,680
Speaker 1: that's what leadership is to me, a person of influence

2216
01:56:16,280 --> 01:56:20,280
Speaker 1: coach the chance there's been some changes in the Runey rule.

2217
01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 1: Do you think the NFL is doing the right thing

2218
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:25,520
Speaker 1: and attempts to give blackhead coaches a fair shot in

2219
01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:31,200
Speaker 1: the NFL? Well, I think, Madadi, the running rule has

2220
01:56:32,280 --> 01:56:37,000
Speaker 1: been good for the NFL historically. You know, prior to

2221
01:56:37,080 --> 01:56:40,680
Speaker 1: the ruining rule, it was just so difficult for minorities

2222
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:45,200
Speaker 1: to get an interview for coordinators jobs and head coaching jobs.

2223
01:56:45,240 --> 01:56:49,080
Speaker 1: It was just very, very difficult for whatever reason. And

2224
01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:53,800
Speaker 1: then after the Runing rule, you saw the increase because

2225
01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:56,520
Speaker 1: of the mandate where guys were at least getting an

2226
01:56:56,520 --> 01:57:01,080
Speaker 1: opportunities to interview. Well. Of course, over time it seems

2227
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:05,840
Speaker 1: it's gotten a little watered down where you know, people

2228
01:57:05,880 --> 01:57:07,920
Speaker 1: have gone through interviews, but they've never really had a

2229
01:57:08,040 --> 01:57:13,400
Speaker 1: legitimate shot at the position. But I think there's there's

2230
01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:15,720
Speaker 1: a place for the Ruoney rule, just based on the

2231
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:18,400
Speaker 1: history and what has occurred prior to the Runey rule

2232
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:22,360
Speaker 1: and the tweaks they're making now. You know, we'll see

2233
01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:24,400
Speaker 1: what happens, we'll see what type effect it has, but

2234
01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 1: the history says that it was necessary to have a

2235
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 1: Rundey rule. We're talking about Leslie Frasier, defensive coordinator the

2236
01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:37,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and this last offseason you were promoted right

2237
01:57:37,280 --> 01:57:39,520
Speaker 1: to assistant head coach. I know that, you know, for

2238
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 1: some casual fans, that's you know, what does it mean?

2239
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 1: Who cares? But to me, it means Sean McDermott trusts

2240
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:51,040
Speaker 1: you and he has a place for you beyond being

2241
01:57:51,080 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. He sees for you in something future

2242
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:57,480
Speaker 1: as a head coach. What does that mean for you

2243
01:57:57,640 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 1: and your relationship with McDermott that he would promote you

2244
01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:05,680
Speaker 1: to head assistant head coach at this point. I think

2245
01:58:05,720 --> 01:58:08,040
Speaker 1: you're right on, Steve. I mean, speaks to the trust

2246
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:11,680
Speaker 1: that he has in me beyond what I do as

2247
01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:16,280
Speaker 1: our defensive coordinator. Even as we have navigate navigated these

2248
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:20,160
Speaker 1: waters to prepare for this offseason, which is uncharted territory.

2249
01:58:20,920 --> 01:58:23,640
Speaker 1: You know, we've been in deep conversations all along, step

2250
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:26,040
Speaker 1: by step as to what's best for our team and

2251
01:58:26,120 --> 01:58:29,520
Speaker 1: how to put together these zoom meetings and really organize

2252
01:58:29,560 --> 01:58:31,800
Speaker 1: it to the point where we get the most out

2253
01:58:31,840 --> 01:58:34,320
Speaker 1: of it. But it speaks to the speaks to the

2254
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:37,840
Speaker 1: trust that we have in one another, and also his

2255
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:42,480
Speaker 1: willingness to listen to my input along with some of

2256
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:45,040
Speaker 1: our other coaches as well, but in particular in our

2257
01:58:45,080 --> 01:58:48,280
Speaker 1: want to warn conversations, just being able to trust my

2258
01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:53,120
Speaker 1: ability to communicate with him about some of the things

2259
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:57,520
Speaker 1: we may be facing this virtual off season that the

2260
01:58:57,720 --> 01:58:59,880
Speaker 1: entire NFL has had to go through. I mean, nobody

2261
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:03,800
Speaker 1: imagine that this would happen here in twenty twenty. How

2262
01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:06,040
Speaker 1: has the virtual off season gone for you? What are

2263
01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:09,240
Speaker 1: some things that you come out of the off season

2264
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:13,440
Speaker 1: being proud of your defense because of well, man, I

2265
01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:16,600
Speaker 1: just think our guys have done a terrific job throughout

2266
01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:19,520
Speaker 1: the process. You know, we've been at it for quite

2267
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:22,840
Speaker 1: a few weeks now, and you know, we changed it up,

2268
01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:24,880
Speaker 1: We mixed it up and just tried to keep it

2269
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:29,080
Speaker 1: from being mundane as we have gone throughout normal installation

2270
01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:31,280
Speaker 1: that we would have been doing up at Archer Park

2271
01:59:32,040 --> 01:59:33,600
Speaker 1: without the ability to be able to go on the

2272
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:37,280
Speaker 1: field without The response from our planners has been commended.

2273
01:59:37,640 --> 01:59:41,480
Speaker 1: We feel like we're getting the most out of this

2274
01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:44,400
Speaker 1: situation and it's become an opportunity for us to separate

2275
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:46,720
Speaker 1: ourselves from the rest of the league. And that's how

2276
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:49,560
Speaker 1: we're kind of looking at it. This is an opportunity

2277
01:59:49,720 --> 01:59:52,080
Speaker 1: to do it the right way, and our players are

2278
01:59:52,120 --> 01:59:55,680
Speaker 1: buying into that. They're spending time both with the staff,

2279
01:59:55,720 --> 01:59:58,680
Speaker 1: but when they're not on these zoom calls, they're spending

2280
01:59:58,760 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 1: time away as well, standing their playbook, being prepared for

2281
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:06,400
Speaker 1: meetings and taking it they serious even in their workout.

2282
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:10,000
Speaker 1: They're posting their workout, sending information in on what they're eating,

2283
02:00:10,880 --> 02:00:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, just giving us a good deal that they

2284
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:17,320
Speaker 1: are not just sitting around waiting on some news to

2285
02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:19,640
Speaker 1: change things. They are working as hard as they can

2286
02:00:20,240 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 1: to prepare for the two and twenty season, so I

2287
02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:25,760
Speaker 1: think it's gone well. We're talking to Leslie Frasier, defensive

2288
02:00:25,760 --> 02:00:28,360
Speaker 1: coordinator and assistant head coach of the Buffalo Bills, one

2289
02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:30,880
Speaker 1: of the guys on your team. We spoke to Lorenzo

2290
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:32,840
Speaker 1: Alexander yesterday. We had him on the show and he

2291
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:36,040
Speaker 1: talked about Tremaine Edmonds. And the more we talk about

2292
02:00:36,080 --> 02:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, the more amazed I am at the fact

2293
02:00:39,720 --> 02:00:43,640
Speaker 1: that he's still just twenty two years old and he's

2294
02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:46,280
Speaker 1: going into his third year in the National Football League,

2295
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:49,000
Speaker 1: and he has come so far and so fast, and

2296
02:00:49,120 --> 02:00:51,720
Speaker 1: he's the type of guy I think as a defensive coordinator.

2297
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:54,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. You can tell me he's exactly the

2298
02:00:54,600 --> 02:00:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of guy, the kind of person, the kind of character,

2299
02:00:57,960 --> 02:01:00,520
Speaker 1: the kind of leader, the kind of player. I mean

2300
02:01:01,360 --> 02:01:04,120
Speaker 1: that you wish he had, you know, ten of he is.

2301
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:06,600
Speaker 1: I know you guys trade it up to get him,

2302
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:09,160
Speaker 1: but what if you're looking at him. Obviously there's a

2303
02:01:09,240 --> 02:01:12,320
Speaker 1: ton of stuff he's got going for him, But was

2304
02:01:12,400 --> 02:01:17,680
Speaker 1: there an overriding characteristic that caused you to know how

2305
02:01:17,800 --> 02:01:20,080
Speaker 1: good Tremaine Edmonds was going to be for you and

2306
02:01:20,160 --> 02:01:25,280
Speaker 1: your team. Well, when we were scouting Tremaine coming out

2307
02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:28,840
Speaker 1: of Virginia Tech and getting to know him, and you

2308
02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:31,520
Speaker 1: saw the athletic a build, you can see that on tape,

2309
02:01:31,560 --> 02:01:33,200
Speaker 1: you knew he was going to have a chance to

2310
02:01:33,240 --> 02:01:36,800
Speaker 1: be a really good football player athletically, and what you

2311
02:01:36,920 --> 02:01:39,960
Speaker 1: had to try to ascertain was what is he going

2312
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:43,200
Speaker 1: to be mentally? You know how important football be for

2313
02:01:43,360 --> 02:01:46,600
Speaker 1: him as zero got to love the game or a

2314
02:01:46,720 --> 02:01:50,240
Speaker 1: zero guy just getting by on God given talent. Well,

2315
02:01:50,280 --> 02:01:52,560
Speaker 1: after we got to know Tremand a little bit and

2316
02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:56,920
Speaker 1: saw his character and got to know his background, you

2317
02:01:57,120 --> 02:01:59,920
Speaker 1: knew that this guy, you know, had the full pack.

2318
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:02,480
Speaker 1: That it wasn't just care athletic ability. Who's going to

2319
02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:05,360
Speaker 1: come in and worked as hard as he could to

2320
02:02:05,560 --> 02:02:08,040
Speaker 1: develop and grow as a player. And that's exactly what

2321
02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:11,200
Speaker 1: has happened for us. We've seen his maturation and he's

2322
02:02:11,640 --> 02:02:13,480
Speaker 1: just this this short period of time that we've had

2323
02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:16,520
Speaker 1: We've had him for this first year to his second year,

2324
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:21,200
Speaker 1: his growth was monumental and it was indicated by how

2325
02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:23,960
Speaker 1: much our defense grew as well. Because he's really the

2326
02:02:24,040 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 1: strong in a lot of ways and stirs to drink

2327
02:02:25,840 --> 02:02:28,640
Speaker 1: for our defense. He as our leader without question, and

2328
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:31,840
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, he's still so very young, but the

2329
02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:34,480
Speaker 1: guys respect him so much, Steve, and they look to

2330
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:37,880
Speaker 1: him for guidance and leadership. And he's the type of

2331
02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:39,960
Speaker 1: guy you want to follow because he's gonna put the

2332
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:42,680
Speaker 1: time in and he's gonna do everything he can to

2333
02:02:42,800 --> 02:02:46,800
Speaker 1: help his teammates be successful. He's very unselfish in that way,

2334
02:02:47,200 --> 02:02:49,040
Speaker 1: but he's busting this tell every day to be the

2335
02:02:49,160 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 1: very best that he can be. And in that way,

2336
02:02:51,480 --> 02:02:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you gain your teammates respect the cause of that. First,

2337
02:02:53,880 --> 02:02:57,160
Speaker 1: your talented guy, you're a good person, and you work

2338
02:02:57,520 --> 02:03:00,480
Speaker 1: as hard or harder than anybody on our team. And

2339
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:02,520
Speaker 1: so when you get a guy like that, man, you

2340
02:03:02,600 --> 02:03:05,160
Speaker 1: have a special football player. And he I mean, the

2341
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:07,000
Speaker 1: sky's the limits, would Tremaine. He's just going to get

2342
02:03:07,040 --> 02:03:11,000
Speaker 1: better and better. There are plenty of offseason additions to

2343
02:03:11,120 --> 02:03:14,920
Speaker 1: this roster, and specifically on defense, it was the defensive line.

2344
02:03:15,040 --> 02:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Lots of new players on this defensive line. How excited

2345
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:20,120
Speaker 1: are you to work with these guys and how much

2346
02:03:20,200 --> 02:03:23,840
Speaker 1: better can this defensive line get with the new additions? Yeah?

2347
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:26,640
Speaker 1: I know, we're we're really excited, Mattie. I think, you know,

2348
02:03:26,760 --> 02:03:29,520
Speaker 1: adding a guy like a Rondon Butler who was a

2349
02:03:29,600 --> 02:03:32,160
Speaker 1: former first round pick who has a chance to really

2350
02:03:32,240 --> 02:03:36,320
Speaker 1: develop and continue to grow. Mario Addison, you know, been

2351
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:40,640
Speaker 1: a double digit sack guy, still can get after the passer. Uh,

2352
02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, being able to add some of the pieces

2353
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:46,040
Speaker 1: that we have. You know, even a guy like Aj

2354
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:49,440
Speaker 1: who's coming in from New Orleans, but he was also

2355
02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:53,520
Speaker 1: a former Panther. I mean AJ Klein and all the

2356
02:03:53,560 --> 02:03:56,080
Speaker 1: guys that we've add, if they all have something that

2357
02:03:56,160 --> 02:03:58,200
Speaker 1: will be a plus for our defense, we should help

2358
02:03:58,280 --> 02:04:01,160
Speaker 1: us to improve as we go for old and the

2359
02:04:01,920 --> 02:04:04,760
Speaker 1: veteran guys along with our draft picks, but the vectans

2360
02:04:04,800 --> 02:04:09,480
Speaker 1: that we've added, I like that their leadership, I mean Clinton,

2361
02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Mario Vernon, I mean, all these guys have a chance

2362
02:04:13,800 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 1: to be leaders in our locker room as well, not

2363
02:04:15,760 --> 02:04:18,760
Speaker 1: just talented football players. And you need that, especially when

2364
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:20,760
Speaker 1: you're going through the type of all season that we're

2365
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:24,040
Speaker 1: going through right now. You need people that are really grounded.

2366
02:04:24,360 --> 02:04:26,800
Speaker 1: When we do get back that I'm the stand you

2367
02:04:26,840 --> 02:04:29,120
Speaker 1: know what's important because we're gonna have to hit the

2368
02:04:29,160 --> 02:04:32,600
Speaker 1: ground running. Whenever we get back on the football field, Leslie,

2369
02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:34,200
Speaker 1: we hope you do hit the ground running. Thanks so

Speaker 1: ninety nine and he won Super Bowl twenty with the

2378
02:04:54,200 --> 02:04:57,600
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears as a player. Great to have him on.

2379
02:04:57,680 --> 02:04:59,440

Speaker 1: Marlowe of course. Just now, Leslie Fraser, stay with us.

2383
02:05:06,800 --> 02:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio presented by Kalidah Health and this is

2384
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:23,320
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. What Have We Learned? Brought to you

2385
02:05:23,480 --> 02:05:26,520
Speaker 1: by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of the

2386
02:05:26,520 --> 02:05:28,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Earlier on in the show, we had Brian

2387
02:05:28,480 --> 02:05:32,680
Speaker 1: Baldinger on and we asked him about how he got

2388
02:05:32,720 --> 02:05:35,360
Speaker 1: the idea to have his new show called Film Session.

2389
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:39,360
Speaker 1: And here's what Brian Baldinger said about his new endeavor.

2390
02:05:39,600 --> 02:05:43,240
Speaker 1: And so we started at NFL Films and Doug Peterson,

2391
02:05:43,280 --> 02:05:45,280
Speaker 1: who just won a Super Bowl, came in, and Carson

2392
02:05:45,360 --> 02:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Wentz and Joe Thomas from the Cleveland Browns came and

2393
02:05:49,160 --> 02:05:51,320
Speaker 1: we kind of started it and then you know, it

2394
02:05:51,440 --> 02:05:54,480
Speaker 1: really took off and we had a we we filmed

2395
02:05:54,520 --> 02:05:57,600
Speaker 1: eighteen sessions last year and then we did twenty this year,

2396
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:00,520
Speaker 1: and we wanted to do a coach as well as

2397
02:06:00,560 --> 02:06:02,800
Speaker 1: the owners meeting, but they all got canceled. But we

2398
02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:05,640
Speaker 1: did twenty at the Pro Bowl this year, and I

2399
02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:08,400
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, we were twenty for twenty. Every player,

2400
02:06:09,080 --> 02:06:12,320
Speaker 1: they loved the idea, They loved sitting there and getting

2401
02:06:12,320 --> 02:06:15,280
Speaker 1: comfortable in their own element and just teaching us the game.

2402
02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:20,760
Speaker 1: That was Brian Baldinger, NFL Network and Fox Sports NFL analysts.

2403
02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:23,600
Speaker 1: We also had Cornelius Bennett on the program talking about

2404
02:06:23,720 --> 02:06:26,640
Speaker 1: leadership and how that fits into what the current Bills

2405
02:06:26,680 --> 02:06:29,520
Speaker 1: are doing. Here's what Biscuit had to say before talking

2406
02:06:29,560 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: to you, guys. Are just happened to see a tweet

2407
02:06:31,480 --> 02:06:35,120
Speaker 1: and where Sean mcderman is talking about leadership, and that's

2408
02:06:35,160 --> 02:06:37,320
Speaker 1: what it takes. You know, the talent is there, otherwise

2409
02:06:37,360 --> 02:06:39,760
Speaker 1: guys wouldn't be in the NFL. So again, it's all

2410
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:45,840
Speaker 1: about actions, and great leaders lead by action. You know,

2411
02:06:45,960 --> 02:06:49,120
Speaker 1: when it's time to stay, make a speech or whatever.

2412
02:06:49,400 --> 02:06:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, you do have those guys like a coach

2413
02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:54,360
Speaker 1: leader who are great guys that you know, or just

2414
02:06:55,800 --> 02:06:57,800
Speaker 1: mostly you got to have the action guys. You got

2415
02:06:57,880 --> 02:06:59,880
Speaker 1: to have the soldiers in the back coming forward and

2416
02:07:00,480 --> 02:07:02,200
