The main question I've gotten this week has 15 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: been what was Cheryl Crowe like? My answer really simple. 16 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: She was exactly what you would hope. Truly, I was 17 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: blown away. Here's my conversation with the great Cheryl Crowe 18 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: two years ago. We're getting ready to play Baltimore in 19 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs and all of a sudden, all these videos 20 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: start showing up online, people wishing us well, we're big underdogs, 21 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: Baltimore is the number one seed, and then there's a 22 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: Chryl Crowe video that just totally took us aback. You're 23 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: in a Derrick Henry jersey. That's right, You're at Lipscomb 24 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: Academy and you're not only telling everybody to tighten up, 25 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: but you're getting all these kids revved up. And for 26 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: all of us, it was huge to see you do 27 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: this on our behalf. So thank you. First of all, 28 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: let me revvd up is an understatement, and then secondly, 29 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: let me say that my then third grader was mortified. 30 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yeah, why you know, you want your mom 31 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: to be like all the other moms and be normal, 32 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: not to come running in the gym with a film 33 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: crew behind you. But you know, he's actually the reason 34 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: that I'm so in not only the Titans, into the Titans, 35 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: but into sports in general. He just loves it and 36 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: his dream would be to play alongside Derrick Henry. So 37 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: how did that happen that day? What led to you 38 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: doing that with all those kids? I've always wanted to know, Well, 39 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: for one thing, the whole school was into the spirit 40 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: of this thing and following it. In fact, I think 41 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: they had Jersey Day where every kid could wear whatever 42 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: jersey wanted to and at least three fourths of school 43 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: is wearing Titans jerseys. So when this thing came about, 44 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: we thought, you know what, we can pull this off. 45 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: And I just went into the headmaster and said, can 46 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: I do a quick video? And He's like absolutely, And 47 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: before I knew it, they had every kid in the 48 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: gymnasium and they were all about it. And so you 49 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: get this because you grew up in a small town 50 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: and I grew up in a small town outside Nashville, 51 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: and we never thought we'd have an NFL team here. 52 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: And now for all these kids, like your sons to 53 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: grow up with an NFL team, and Derrick Henry's here, 54 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: and Ryan Tannehill's here and all these players, how fun 55 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: is that? It's really fun? And you know, I grew 56 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: up wanting to emulate rock stars, right, maybe not the 57 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: best role models. And I've really come to understand with 58 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: two boys how important sports figures are and their dedication 59 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: and their level of work commitment. And it makes a 60 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: big difference for these kids to look up to some 61 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: of these people that are clearly in the public life 62 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: and to be able to route for them as their 63 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: hometown team. So it's really been fun. And man, I'll 64 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: tell you what, getting my kids off the couch when 65 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: there is a football game on, especially when the Titans 66 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: are playing, you know it's impossible. Tryl Crow. You are 67 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: a boy mom. I am a total boy mom. Did 68 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: you ever think that would happen? You know, it's funny. 69 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm a mom who adopted two boys. I said, Lord, 70 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: I'll take whatever you give me. I don't care you 71 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: know what sex, what color, if they got five arms, 72 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't care. You just give me what I'm supposed 73 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: to have. But I really thought I would have girls, 74 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: and thank god I don't. I mean, girls are fantastic, 75 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: but if I had to do somebody else's hair to 76 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: get out the door, it'd be lost. And I'm a 77 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: tree climber and a sports player and a water skier 78 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: and a trampoline jumper, and I'm just I'm all about boys. 79 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: So it's it's worked out great. God knew me, all right, 80 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: So Derrick, Henry or Giannis, don't do this to me 81 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: right downright? We love us some bucks. Yeah, we did 82 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: that happened. Um. I gotta say it was my Levi, 83 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: my eleven year old, to just out of the clear 84 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: blue out of all these teams that he's like a 85 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: statistician for. And I don't care if it's baseball, um, 86 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: or whether it's basketball or football. Um, it just was 87 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: all about the Bucks. And I realized when we were 88 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: in quarantine really um and there was no live sports 89 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: going on, that he was just becoming an historian about 90 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: this team and where they came from. I mean as 91 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: far as like all their players and what their stories were. 92 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: And it was inspiring. And that's that's what you want, 93 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, you want your kids to be looking up 94 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: people that they can are to emulate. And definitely Jonas 95 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: and Chris Middleton and that whole team really drew holiday. 96 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 1: All of them have a story and they came together 97 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: and worked together as a team and and triumphed. And 98 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: that's that's a great story. King Henry and the Greek Freak. 99 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: That's that's two pretty good right there, right, yes, yes, 100 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: And uh you know, uh, Levi he has he has 101 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: a couple of jerseys on his on his wall, and 102 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: one of them is Jonas and one of them is 103 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: Derik Henry so um and I hate to say it, 104 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, but but well, you know, I know we 105 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: do our Chiefs too, But we're all Missouri thing is 106 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: it is? Yeah, but we're still we're all about the Titans. Okay, 107 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: Well that's good. If there was a matchup there's gonna be, 108 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: we'd be Titans. Yes, there is coming. It is coming. 109 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: Aren't you glad You're not the twelfth Titan for that game? 110 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: It's gonna unaw body Ye, yes, no, I am glad. 111 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: But you were an athlete All state hurdler. I was. 112 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: I was a hurdler back back when people ran yards 113 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: and not meters. I know, yeah, I ran yards too, 114 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: so I know what you're talking about age myself. But 115 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, so let's talk about crucial catch. I want 116 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: to go back to two thousand and six. Here you are. 117 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: You've won nine Grammys, You've sold fifty million records. Tuesday 118 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: Night Music Club's one of my favorite albums ever. It's 119 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: one of the most iconic albums of the nineties for sure. 120 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you're on a roll and it's time for 121 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: a mammogram. You nearly blow it off. Is that true? 122 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: I did? I was going through some personal stuff. I 123 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: didn't feel like stopping everything to go to just an appointment. 124 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't that I was worried about having breast cancer, 125 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: because I didn't have anybody in my family that had it. 126 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: I was very fit at the time, taking care of myself, 127 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: and I just didn't think I was a candidate for having, 128 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, a diagnosis of something that could be life threatening. 129 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: And and so I almost put it off. It was 130 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: also Grammy's week, and it just seemed like, it's all, 131 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: it's just not good timing. But I'd seen my gynecologists 132 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: earlier and she said, look, we don't put these things 133 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: off because timing is everything. Even though it might be 134 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: good timing for you, it matters. And so I went 135 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,679 Speaker 1: and they called me back and I had a needle 136 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: biopsy just on something that looked routinely suspect and turned 137 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: out it was invasive cancer. And it was a show stopper. 138 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: I mean, if you think that you control everything in 139 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: your life, you are so wrong. And it takes those 140 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: moments where life comes kind of screeching to a halt 141 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: to realize that there are some things that are just 142 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:52,479 Speaker 1: out of your control and doing diligence can be a lifesaver. 143 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: You know, we don't have a cure for cancer. There 144 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: are lots of different kinds of breast cancer. We don't 145 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: have a cure, but we've made great strides. But until 146 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: there is a cure, early detection is our best weapon. 147 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: And that's really true across the board for all cancers. 148 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: So personal when you go through something like this and 149 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: you talk about it so openly, is the early detection 150 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: part of it? Now something you feel like is your 151 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: mission to get across to people. Yeah, I would not 152 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: have chosen to be the poster child for cancer. You know, 153 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: there are lots of other things I'd rather draw attention to, 154 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: but this felt so immediate to me because and vital 155 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: to me, because when you get diagnosed with cancer or 156 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: any life threatening illness, it's not just you that gets diagnosed. 157 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: It's it's your family. It's your friend base, you know, 158 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: it's your posse, your tribe. For me, it was not 159 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: just my family, it was my whole work family. Everybody 160 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: got put on hold. And not only does that happen, 161 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: but it also brings mortality into the spectrum. You know, 162 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: you start realizing whole life is short and I am 163 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: not invincible, and it makes you look at things that 164 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: not only are hard to look at, but that change 165 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: the way you look at everything from that point on. 166 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: So for me, it was a blessing in disguise, but 167 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: at the same time not something I would ever recommend 168 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: to have happened to anybody I know. So, yes, go 169 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: and get your mammograms. Don't put it off. You know, whatever, 170 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: your colonoscopies, whatever, whatever you are in the age bracket 171 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: for getting tested for. Do it. You know it is. 172 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: It is a hassle, but it can be a game changer. 173 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: Well like prostate cancer. Eighty nine percent of prostate cancers, 174 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: you have a five year survival rate of one hundred percent. 175 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: But you've got to find it early. Yeah, it's fifteen 176 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: years show crow. You're sitting right here. Yes, and you know, 177 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: it isn't something I think about every day, but I 178 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: do think about it, and my kids are aware of it, 179 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: and every now and again we'll say is it going 180 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: to come back? And I say, I am fifteen years out, 181 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: but I get everything else checked, you know, I get 182 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: my annual everything. And we've made great strides in the 183 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: medical world. We just don't have a cure yet, but 184 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: we do have these tests that we didn't have before. 185 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: You know, twenty five years ago, we weren't doing lumpectomies, 186 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: we were doing mass sectomies. And we've come a long 187 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: way so and especially where calling cancer, prostate cancer, all 188 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: these things are concerned. The fact that we can detect 189 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: it so early now that's what's saving lives. You talked 190 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: about how you're proud of your son's looking up to athletes. 191 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure part of the reason you're diving into crucial catches. 192 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: You're supportive and proud of the National Football League for 193 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: choosing to do this early detection, not just for breast 194 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: cancer now, but for all kinds it's a cancer. It's 195 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: been incredible what the sports community has done. And I 196 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: love the fact that the Titans, you know, they're they're 197 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: honoring Breast Cancer Month. And you know that may not 198 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: resonate with everyone, but I can guarantee you that you 199 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: know somebody who has had breast cancer, whether it's a 200 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: sister or a mom, a cousin, a daughter, a friend. 201 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: It is everywhere and it is all around us. And 202 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: the fact that the NFL, which is made up of 203 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: predominantly men, want to honor their mothers, their sisters, their 204 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: close cousins, their wives by saying, Look, this is something 205 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: that we want to encourage everyone to be aware of. 206 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: That getting your yearly mammogram matters. We've all got women 207 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: we love. Everybody in the NFL has women they love. 208 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: That's right, that's relatively all right. So what do you 209 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: think about this Buffalo game? Buffalo looks pretty good? No no, no, 210 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: just no, just no, okay, yeah, that's what is Levi 211 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: thing is funny man. I'm going to say to you 212 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: right now that your job you may be in trouble. Yeah. 213 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: My my fourteen year old has already given my bass 214 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: player notice that when he gets to be eighteen that 215 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: he wants to be in mom's band. Of course, I say, 216 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: when you get to be in eighteen, you're gonna want 217 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: to be in anybody's band, but your mom. Um. Yeah, 218 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: my eleven year old Levi is a warrior. Now. He's 219 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: going to worry up until at least the third or 220 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. He may worry until like the last minute, 221 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: but he's going to believe that the times are going 222 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: to pull it out. Um. He also is playing fantasy football, 223 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: So y'all y'all need to get with it, is what 224 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Is that right? Oh? Yeah he has Derrick HENRISO. 225 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: Oh well, hey, Sunday's game. Pretty good? That one hundred 226 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: and thirty rushing yards, three touchdowns. Yeah, that's a lot 227 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: of points he's doing. Okay, Yeah, all right? Can I 228 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: ask you two music questions? Absolutely? I know a lot more. 229 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: I know, I know, but I'm dying to note. What 230 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: is Cheryl Crowe doing musically right now? What's going on 231 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: in your musical life? We are family back to working, okay, 232 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: and which has been a godsend, you know. I think 233 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: people forget that musicians have a huge world that makes 234 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: them look great. And for me, I have crew people 235 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: and I have my band, and all these people have 236 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: been out of work and need to work and want 237 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: to work. And I also feel like, now that we've 238 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: gotten out, I can see and feel how much people 239 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: need music and it's palpable, you know. And so we've 240 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: been doing quite a few shows. We've done quite a 241 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: lot with Chris Stapleton, which has been awesome. I'm always 242 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: working on new music. So you're sitting in my studio 243 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: right now, and after you leave, I'm working this afternoon 244 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: on some new stuff, So staying busy. You have always 245 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: spanned a lot of genres. So I'm wondering as we 246 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: wrap up, who does Cheryl Crowe listen to? Who are 247 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: your favorite people regardless of genres? Oh my goodness. I mean, 248 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: Nashville has this incredible radio session called Lightning one hundred. 249 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: And although I'm an older rock star, I still love 250 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: getting turned on a new music and I hear a 251 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: lot of great, great music on Lightning one hundred. You know, 252 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: I still gravitate to the oldies, you know, I love 253 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: I love me some Willie Nelson. Right now, I'm reading 254 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: the Tao of Willie, which is really an exceptional book, 255 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: and I just love listening to stuff that reminds me 256 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: of why I got into what I'm doing. And we 257 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: met a record called Threads, and it has a lot 258 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: of my heroes on it, and so I still listened 259 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: to a lot of those people, from the Rolling Stones 260 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: to James Taylor, to to Willie, to Johnny Cash to 261 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: even young people like Brandy Carlisle and Chris Stapleton and 262 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: Marin And there's a whole bunch of alternative artists on 263 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: Lightning one hundred. From Lucia's to Joseph to I mean 264 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: just really black pumas, great stuff. There's great music everywhere. 265 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: I got one more. I'm sorry alive. Mary Morris seems 266 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: to hit a Cheryl Crow thread with a lot of 267 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: us in the same way. Why did she do that? 268 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: What is that's so special about her? Marin is one 269 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: of those people that you just know when she first 270 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: opens her mouth and sings one of her songs that 271 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: she wrote, that she's gonna be around for a long time. 272 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: She's brilliantly smart, and she's not afraid to speak her mind, 273 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: which is part of I think being a great artist, 274 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: and it's also will also play into her longevity that 275 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: she's aware of what's going on and feels like she 276 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: can lift her voice into the fray and not be 277 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: frightened of what it does to her brand, you know, 278 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: And that's in this day and a it's really important. 279 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: I also love the fact that you can hear her 280 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: influences in her music, and for me that was so 281 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: crucial coming up to be able to take from my 282 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: influences but also pay homage to them. And I think 283 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: she's really brilliant at that. I thought, you're gonna say 284 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: or give a damn meter is broken. Yes, that is 285 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: a great quote. Yeah, I love her for that reason. 286 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: Cheryl Crowe, excited to see you at the ball game. 287 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you everything that you're doing for crucial 288 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: catch and just remember the most important to tighten up. Yes, 289 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: tighten up. Cheryl Crowe has certainly picked a big game 290 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: to attend at Nissan Stadium, as the Titans opponent is 291 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: one of the best teams to come here in I 292 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: would say years. You've probably heard eighty great stats about 293 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: these Buffalo Bills, but I'm gonna summarize how good they 294 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: are in one statistical sentence. Through five games, the Buffalo 295 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: Bills are number one in the NFL in scoring offense 296 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: and number one in the NFL and scoring defense. Let 297 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: me repeat that, the Buffalo Bills are number one in 298 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: the NFL in scoring offense and scoring defense. They score 299 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: more points than everybody else, they allow the fewest points 300 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: of anybody else. That's all you need to know, But 301 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: for some added specifics, here's my chat with the long 302 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: time voice of the Buffalo Bills, John Murphy. Looking at 303 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: the numbers, the Buffalo Bills have outscored their last four 304 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: opponents one fifty six to forty one. You've seen a 305 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: lot of good Bills teams, a lot of good stretches. 306 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: It's pretty dominant stretch of football, though, isn't it. Yeah. 307 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: I mean, by the way, I haven't seen a lot 308 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: of good Bills teams in recent years. I'm until the 309 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: last few weeks. I've seen a lot of bad teams. 310 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm until the last few years. Yeah, they're playing great 311 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: right now. You begin to think, man, don't blow at all. 312 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: Let's save something for December in January, because that's how 313 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: good they're playing. But the offense was almost unstoppable again 314 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: when they beat the Kansas City. But it's the defense, 315 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: Like that's the big difference this year. They're just doing 316 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: a great job defensively, and that was where they struggled 317 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: a year ago. They got to work on it, and 318 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: so far it's really worked. John who is jumping out 319 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: to you on the defense so far. The first draft pick, 320 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: Greg Russo has been great from University of Miami, and 321 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: they got it now so that they got a healthy rotation. 322 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: So I haven't looked at the numbers, but I guarantee 323 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: Greg Russo if he played fifty percent of the snap 324 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: sets a lot. He got eight sometimes nine man rotation. 325 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: They just work guys through there. Russo is one of 326 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: the standouts up front there. The bill second round pick 327 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: Boogie Basham from Virginia Tech has also started to play 328 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: the last few weeks and he's making a difference. The 329 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: best players and I think the most consistent players on 330 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense, and it has been for a couple 331 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: of years. It's the back end of the defense. The 332 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: two safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer are just outstanding. 333 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: Hide came up with an interception in Kansas City. Payer 334 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: has been solid. Tradabous White is a Pro Bowl cornerback. 335 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: They used Levi Wallace at the other corner. He's pretty good. 336 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: But it's the back end of the defense that is solid. Now, 337 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: what jumps out about the defense to me John and 338 00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: watching them is everything is hard for opposing offenses. It's hey, 339 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: pick up a first down, you pick up two first downs, fantastic, 340 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: Let's see if you can do it again. That's exactly 341 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: what McDermott wants. Yeah, and Less the Frasier two has 342 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: got to get a lot of credit for it. The 343 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: former NFL head coach and the defensive coordinator now in 344 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: his fifth year in Buffalo. I mean that's really the key. 345 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: I think the fact that there's such continuity and the 346 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: coaching staff and both coordinators are here now for four 347 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: or five years, and Frasier's been an outstanding coach for 348 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: the Bills. He's an outstanding guy. But yeah, that's what 349 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott wants. And you know, they agonized over losing 350 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: the AFC championship game in an earlier regular season game 351 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: in Kansas City last year, and they kind of went 352 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: to work on fixing it. They said, we need pass rush, 353 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: but we don't want the blitz. They did not blitz 354 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: once against the Chiefs. They said four men at most 355 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: on every down and they still had Mahomes kind of, 356 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, running around trying to save his life. They 357 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: had great pass rush with the four man rush because 358 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: they drafted those two, because they've got a great scheme. 359 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, Frasier is not a gambling, 360 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: risk taking type of coordinator. He wants to just rush 361 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: four and now he's rushing for and getting the job done. 362 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: And it's really impressive to the see John Murphy. We 363 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: know about this offense converting forty nine percent of third 364 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: downs at this point, four hundred and ten yards a game, 365 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty rushing yards, two hundred and seventy 366 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: passing yards per game, scoring at an incredibly high clip 367 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: at this point, nearly thirty five points a game. Where 368 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: is this offense even better than it was a year 369 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: ago when it was really good. I'd start with the 370 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: running game, you know. And they got the Devin singletary 371 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: motor who's kind of leaner and quicker, and he's got 372 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: an explosion now that he didn't have last year. He's 373 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: sort of a potter last year. They get the second 374 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: year from Zach Moss, his partner at running back. The 375 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: two of them share snaps. Those two, I think make 376 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: a big difference. To have an effective running game is 377 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: important for the Bills, but they are a passing team. 378 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: They replaced John Brown, who I always thought was a 379 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: great wide receiver. They replaced him this year with Emmanuel Sanders, 380 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: who's been not just a good villain, he's exceeded what 381 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: John Brown gave him. He's a verse of he's a 382 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: fire down the field, he's very personal, can run routes. 383 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: He's a good leader, He's a guy with a ton 384 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: of experience. I think he's an upgrade over where they 385 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: were offensively. But the key man, of course, is the 386 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: trigger man, Josh Allen. He was great last year. I 387 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm ready to say he has been 388 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: better this year, but he's getting there. They're benefiting from 389 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: continuity in the coaching staff right his fourth year with 390 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: Brian Dable, his fourth year in the system. He knows 391 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: what's required of him, he knows what they need, and 392 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: he seemed to provide it on a regular basis. Is 393 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: he better than last year? He's awfully good last year, 394 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: but he's kind of trending in that direction. You know 395 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: what's really interesting about Josh Allen is I remember seeing 396 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: him at the Senior Bowl and everybody was like, man, 397 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: this guy is physically gifted, but we don't know if 398 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: he's accurate enough. We're not sure. And it just feels 399 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: like they handled him so well in his first couple 400 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: of years that it gave him time to develop, gave 401 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: him time to get that sort of confidence, and then 402 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: fundamentally I guess he's doing things better. I don't see 403 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: him on a daily basis like you do, but in 404 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: terms of the improvement of Josh Allen from the start 405 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: to now. Have you seen many players for the Buffalo Bills, 406 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: especially as at a skill spot, who have consistently gotten better? 407 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: You know? The only one that comes to mind was 408 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: the great Hall of Famer Andre Reid, who years ago 409 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: to me he got better every year it came back 410 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: for camp. Josh has done that. Now you asked me, 411 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: who's better? Is he better this year than he was 412 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: last year? I don't know yet. You know, the Bills 413 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: are only five games in. It looks like he might be. 414 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: But that's the kind of improvement he's given the Bills, 415 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: kind of what Andre Reid did thirty years ago. That's interesting. 416 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: You know, in that draft that year, I know they 417 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: liked they liked Josh Allen. I know they liked Sam 418 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: Donald a lot. Donald was gone when they came to 419 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,959 Speaker 1: Bills turned to pick. Had he been there, I think 420 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: they would have had an interesting choice to make. But 421 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: it was among those two. I think they got the run. 422 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: I know they got the right one now as we 423 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: look back. But it's a lot of that is I 424 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: think dude to Josh's demeanor and his attitude. He's a 425 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: great leader. He is a great teammate. He doesn't take 426 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: things too seriously. You know, he's pretty good about dealing 427 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: with his teammates. He's really good at dealing with teammates. 428 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: And I think that's a part of him that who 429 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: knew right when he's coming out of Wyoming of all places, 430 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: who knew what kind of a pro he would be. 431 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: But he's turned out to be I think better than expected. Yeah, 432 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: that's worked out great. Let's talk about another guy who's improved. 433 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. We know him well, he's from here, played 434 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: at Old Miss. I think the Titans were one of 435 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: several teams that liked him a lot, felt like he 436 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: had tremendous upside, and man, we're seeing that upside this 437 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: year with what he's been able to do. Are the 438 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: Bills even a little surprise that Dawson Knox has blossomed 439 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: at tight end the way he has? Yeah, I mean 440 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I was thinking about Dawson Knox 441 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: today and thinking about the way the Bills handled him 442 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: and how they had the luxury they had the luxury 443 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: of being patient with Dawson Knox. Now this past offseason, 444 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: you know, they talked to zach Ertz at Philadelphia. I 445 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: know they were interested in a couple of tight ends, 446 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: maybe bringing somebody in because he didn't have a good 447 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: year last year and he had drops and they were 448 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: concerned that maybe what this guy isn't going to be 449 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: what we thought. But they kind of stayed the course. 450 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: And when you're good and you win thirteen games a 451 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: year ago, you could afford to say, let's be patient. 452 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: They were for patient, and they keep they keep playing 453 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: him this year and put him in prominent positions this 454 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: year and he's produced. I think they're very happy that 455 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: they were so patient with him. And yeah, Dawson gets 456 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: a lot of this credit too. He is a better 457 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: player than he was a year ago. You know. He 458 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: is a much better receiver. He's always been a willing, 459 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: physical player, you know, and he's he's got some incredible 460 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: hard hits. I forget what they call it an NFL network, 461 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: but he's he's been as he fits right into to 462 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: the group, you know, he really does. He's a really 463 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: good guy and he is definitely improving in almost a 464 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: weekly basis here. Yeah, great young man, no doubt about it. 465 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: All right. So if the Bills have a weakness what 466 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: is it. That's a really good question. We were talking 467 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: the other night, you know, about what potential negatives from 468 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: the win in Kansas City. They're not perfect, obviously. I 469 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 1: wonder about their offensive line, and they've had a kind 470 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: of a major shakeup two weeks ago. You know, they 471 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: put a rookie in at right tackle, Spencer Brown, and 472 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: he's been good. Untested obviously after two weeks, but he's 473 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: been pretty solid for two weeks. They moved the right 474 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: tackle back then inside Daryl Williams is now the guard. 475 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: He's the right card. So they had a fairly sizable 476 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 1: shakeup on the offensive line after just three games. They 477 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: played two games with this new group, and they played 478 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: pretty well. I get you know, I guess speaking carefully, 479 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: the jury is probably still out on that move, but 480 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: it looks pretty good. Is that a weakness? Not necessarily, 481 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: but it's something to keep an eye on, I think 482 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills moving forward. It's really strange that 483 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: the Titans and the Bills have seen each other in 484 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: October basically at the same time. It's almost like a 485 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: college rival, like four years in a row. Yeah, play 486 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: you guys, what is this? I love it? But I 487 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: can't figure it out. And at the same point in 488 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: the schedule, it's gonna be a lot of fun to 489 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: see these ball clubs together again and to see how 490 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: the Titans measure against the team everybody's talking about in 491 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: the National Football League right now, the Buffalo Bills. I 492 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: have to imagine, John, for you, this is a tremendous 493 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 1: amount of fun covering this team. Yeah, it has been, 494 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: and it goes so fast. On the flight from Kansas City, 495 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: I've thought, make sure you're relaxing, kind of take in 496 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: what's happening, because this is a special year. You can 497 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: already tell it for five weeks. It's kind of a 498 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: special season that has been done here. And I had 499 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: to remind myself make sure you kind of, you know, 500 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: smell the roses. Don't let it just zip by, because 501 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 1: you know how it is in a season, you get 502 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: so caught up and you got Sunday night here, Monday 503 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: night here, you got to catch up on this, catchup 504 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: on that. You gotta make sure you're really kind of 505 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: taking a break and seeing a big picture. And the 506 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: big picture of the Bills is great. And the other 507 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: thing is I keep thinking to myself, they're they're pretty 508 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: young at the key positions. They can be playing this 509 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: not necessarily this well, but playing pretty good for a 510 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: couple of years at least moving forward. So that's that's 511 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: kind of encouraging. Too good stuff, John Murphy, We look 512 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: forward to seeing you Monday night in Nashville.
