Speaker 1: of normalcy. Happy Friday, all you lovely people out there.

5
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: The weekend is near. It's inching closer, just hours away.

6
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: I could feel it. I want it. Mattie Glab here

7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: with Steve Tasker as we close out the week. I've

8
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: been filling in for Brownie. He's back next week. Steve

9
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: Tasker is out. You're in Monday. This is true. I'm

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: just pulling double duty over here, you know. Yeah, everybody's

11
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: taking bacs, both of us. We both showed up for

12
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: work late today. Oh yeah. I was coming in hot

13
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: past eleven, sliding sideways into the curb, you know. I

14
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: was leaving my apartment on time to get here about

15
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: nine thirty. And then I get a text message, and

16
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: it was a text message from Southwest saying that my

17
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: flight to Chicago tonight has been canceled. I'm like, oh crap,

18
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: all right, I guess we had a rebook. So go

19
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: on the app try and find a flight. There were

20
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: two availabilities for today. I could have either flown out

21
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: at three fifteen and left you high and dry to

22
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: do the last hour of the show on your own,

23
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: which I would not do and did not do. Or

24
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: I could have flown out at four fifty five, have

25
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: a three hour layover in Baltimore, and get into Chicago

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: at around ten o'clock. So I chose that one because

27
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: I didn't want to leave you alone, Steve, so we

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: got rebooked on the flight. There's some mad thunderstorms in

29
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: Chicago this weekend, of course, the weekend that I decided

30
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: to go home. It's just gonna rain and pour and

31
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: lightning and thunder. They actually had a tornado. They're like

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: two weeks ago or a week and a half ago,

33
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: about ten minutes away from my house. So thankfully we

34
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: did not get hit. None of our family members got hit.

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: But it likes to storm tornadoes the whole nine yards

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: over summer in Chicago. You never know, Yeah, what's gonna happen.

37
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: So that was my wild morning. So then I had

38
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 1: to quickly pack and get everything ready to go throw

39
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: it in the car because as soon as we say,

40
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: see you have a good weekend, I am headed to

41
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: the airport. There you go. Yeah, I Mine was a

42
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: little different than that we had. You know, we had

43
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: the grandkids. They're all local. Five of them showed up

44
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: needed you know, we had they needed to show up

Speaker 1: a question and give us a call. Eight O three

85
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: five fifty have a little convo with us. Another thing

86
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: that's kind of exciting, the NFL has approved alternate helmets

87
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: beginning in twenty twenty two. Oh yeah, I like this

88
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: because I come from the land of college football, where

89
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: there's alternate uniforms every single year, an alternate helmet or

90
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: two every single year. You know, of your Oregon then

91
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: you just are wearing alternate uniforms every other week, it

92
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: seems like. But I really like the alternate style. I

93
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: like having an alternate uniform every year just because it's

94
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: what I'm used to. I know, you know NFL uniforms are.

95
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: They're old school, but they're still sleek. And we've seen

96
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: some teams come out with these new uniforms recently that

97
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: still look really good. I think still hold on to

98
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: like the history of what a jersey has looked like,

99
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: or what that team's jersey has looked like in the past,

100
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: or kind of have pieces of past in the jersey,

101
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: but looking forward to an updated design. So I'm all

102
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: about the alternate helmets. I'm all about the alternate uniforms.

103
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: I hope that the NFL can be a little bit

104
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: more like college football in that regard because it's not

105
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: like you've got a bunch of fifth year old dudes

106
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: playing on your team who are just like I like

107
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the old school uniforms. If we're on our trip with

108
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: that way, you've got some young guys on your team.

109
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, I play good, feel good.

110
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: I'm an old go right. I'm I'm as old as

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm an old guy too. And I played in the

112
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: old red helmets and we had when I first got

113
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: here midway through eighty six, they had blue face masks.

114
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: The next year, I think the next year they switched

115
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: him to the red white face masks, I think. And uh,

116
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all about it. Let them let them tinker

117
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: around with the uniforms, have some fun with it. They

118
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: get some like you know, you look, you're right the

119
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: college the college game is awesome for that. I mean

120
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: you look at what Oregon does with their uniforms. Every year.

121
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: They got some leak stuff, some great looking stuff. Um

122
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: and and I get it too. I mean that it's

123
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: it's about merchandising as well. People want to say, hey,

124
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna get that jersey. That's

125
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: a nice one, right, So or they get a nostalgia,

126
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and particular you know number of

127
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: Jersey whoever they want. The Bills unis. The ones I

128
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: like the best that they wear these days are the

129
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: white helmet, white on white all the way down, the stripes,

130
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: food with the striped socks. Oh, they like the all

131
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: red unis too. Yeah, that's white helmets. They come out

132
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: on the road in those whites, the road whites, and man,

133
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: it just pops. I've done games from the booth and

134
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: it's like there's certain certain things that come out and

135
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: certain uniforms that come out there. Wow that really it

136
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: really looks good. The Bills do not have a bad uniform.

137
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: I was trying to think about that this morning, like

138
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: do I really like one over another? Or do I

139
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: dislike one? And answers I like, who doesn't love red, white,

140
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: and blue? Yeah, I like even when they go blue pants,

141
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: still still still looks good. Still looks good. The white helmets.

142
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: I I think I've really fallen in love with the

143
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: white helmets. Even though I'm one of the guys played

144
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: in the red helmets. I'm I'm a big fan of

145
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: the white helmets. Well, there there's been some chatter about

146
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: those red helmets, wanting to see those come back and

147
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: see when I say alternate, alternate helmets or uniforms, I

148
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: don't mean like, you know, just like futuristic looking. I

149
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: like bringing back old school stuff too. I think that's

150
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: a cool way to throw back to, you know, a

151
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: different time, the nineties, the eighties, and we have we

152
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: tweeted out you know what would you want the best

153
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: unique combo to look like with these alternate helmets? And

154
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: we've already got some tweets that we can get into,

155
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: So let's get into the tweet sheet, which is brought

156
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

157
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills and the Bruner says it

158
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: has to be Steve Haskers nineties at Bill's uniform. It's

159
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: not just the red helmet, it's the subtle parts of

160
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: the uniform, the strip on the pants, the red gator socks,

161
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: and the buffalo on the helmet was much larger than

162
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: we have now. We have the sixties throwback. Now we

163
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: need the nineties. Did you have a favorite uniform from

164
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: when you played that you can think about. I like

165
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: the look of our and I know brings back some

166
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: paperment I like the look of our Super Bowl twenty

167
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: five jerseys. White on white pants, blue blue numbers on

168
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: the jerseys, red helmets, I thought. And when back then too,

169
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: we wore red piping on the good the red the

170
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: red socks, and uh that was I like those those

171
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: were great. I always had the real jerseys had two

172
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: stripes at the bottom of the sleeve. And for whatever reason,

173
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: my jersey always went like down to the crook of

174
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: my elbow right, so it was further down, and I

175
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: had the equipment guys slice off the bottom st Yeah,

176
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: they'd all the way up to them. They don't cinch

177
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: they I didn't. Yeah, I didn't have elastic in my

178
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: in my sleeves, but they did cut shorten the sleeves

179
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: for me and put on only one stripe on it

180
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: um and they and then I had to you know,

181
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: I had to have my pants altered too, because they

182
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: were too long. Lace were too short because it was

183
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: too fat. So it's too fat up top, so I

184
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: had to get a big enough If I got a

185
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: big enough waste, they were too right, So I had

186
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: to have them tailored at the bottom, make them shorter

187
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: so I'd fit. All those kind of issues. But yeah,

188
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: that I like those jerseys and those uniforms. They were great. Uh,

189
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: and I'm I was, I'm not as I look back

190
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: on it. I thought it was great when they came out,

191
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: But I'm not a fan of the blue with the

192
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: shoulder yolk thing they had in the early two thousands. Um, yeah,

193
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't a fan of that. So I'm not a

194
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: fan of that now. I thought I liked it then

195
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was okay. Then it was cool because

196
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: that stuff you those kind of jerseys were they look

197
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: great with jeans. In fact, they look better with jeans.

198
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: Weren't out and about in the cut, in the in

199
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: the community, just wearing them outIn about then they did

200
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: on the field, you know, they look better on the fans,

201
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: and they did on the players. Right. So but I

202
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: like the Yeah, the old school ones are great. I

203
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: like the sixties uniforms too, the blue with the only

204
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: the white and the very thin line are red around

205
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: him as well. The ones like Jack Kemp, Cookie Gilcrest

206
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: War those guys, those are kind of cool too. A

207
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: little bit a little bit, I don't know, say planer,

208
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: I guess cleaner is the better way to say a

209
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: little bit cleaner. Yeah, that's although I'm a big fan

210
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: of um, say, for instance, like the Steelers, the Pittsburgh

211
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: Steelers even today they've got those, They've got like three

212
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: or four stripes around. I'm a fan of less is more, bigger,

213
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: but fewer stripes, like the ones the Bills had, the

214
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: two stripes around the sleeve, thick, heavy duty bold stripes

215
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: rather than the small pin stripe stuff. I'm I'm a

216
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: big fan of bold stripes rather than the small intric ones.

217
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: That's just me. So give it's called eight fifty. What

218
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: uniform do you like best? What helmet combo would you

219
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: like best? With this, I'll read another one that we have.

220
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: Rusty Shackleford says, I love the current all white UNI.

221
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: It's so clean and perfect. I don't want them to

222
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: change it, but I would like to see the Bills

223
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: bring back a red helmet for two games a year,

224
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: once with a blue jersey and white pants at home,

225
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: and a red helmet with an all white uniform, red

226
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: striped socks all of Super Bowl twenty five. There you

227
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: go for one road game. Yeah. I like the fact

228
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: that they can tinker with it because it does give

229
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: you it does you know pique your interest a little bit.

230
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: They come out of the tunnel. It's like, ah, yeah,

231
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: it's great. That's always fun thing on game day when

232
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: those those guys roll out in there, your uniforms, it's

233
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: like a man, it does look good, you know so,

234
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. The color rush with the red helmet.

235
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: People have been saying red helmet quite a bit. Yeah,

236
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: and he's right to the first guy you talked to,

237
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: the the helmet on the side of those helmet was bigger.

238
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: And I there's a reply we've got from JT. Bill's

239
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: mof He says, with the red pants, No, with red pants,

240
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: blue socks. Also like the old buffalo logo. Um. And

00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: he says also in high Matty, great job filling in.

00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: blah blah. Passed over the tasker. You belong in the

244
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame too. He sent a picture in as

245
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: well of it's me and Chris Moore, Mark Maddox, Kenny Davis,

246
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: and you forget those are sharp uniforms back then. The

247
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: blue is good and they have the you know, the

248
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: pants have a sheen on them. Yeah, it was fun.

249
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: It was fun. Yeah, that I don't I can't remember.

250
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: I think I wore like two uniforms the entire time

251
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: I was here at home. In a way, I don't

252
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: remember ever wearing blue pants. Yeah, although, wait a minute, yeah,

253
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't think I remember wearing blue pants when I

254
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: was with the Bills. I really, I don't think I

255
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: ever wore those. And I wonder when we started those

256
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: or bring those on? The blue pants. Yeah, I don't know.

257
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but that I don't think we ever

258
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: had that. I don't know. Anyway, that's interesting stuff. We've

259
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: got also people that are sending in like they want

260
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: a blue helmet with a red but that kind of stuff,

261
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: and they want to change things up. I don't think

262
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: that's going to happen if you had to change things

263
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: up with like an alternate jersey or I guess it

264
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: would be easier to do it with an alternate helmet.

265
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: But if you were to go outside of red, white,

266
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: and blue, what color would you pick? Oh, boyd red

267
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: white or blue? Yeah? Can't you can't pick it. You

268
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: can't pick either of those. It would be an alternate.

269
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe you know the the original color

270
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: scheme that the bills put to the league had nickel

271
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: in it, you know, had like a silver in it.

272
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: I might do that silver and some other accent color.

273
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: I think a silver and blue would be kind of cool.

274
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: I like the Yeah, the darker gray look. Yeah, yeah,

275
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: that would be kind of neat. But I don't know.

276
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: The Pretty soon they're gonna have a contest, somebody's gonna

277
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: be able to come up with an alternate uniform. They'll

278
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: be able to put it out there. That'd be kind

279
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: of neat, But I don't know. I'm I'm still a

280
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: fan of the white on white, just like the person

281
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: who tweeted in I like the bills all white, white helmet,

282
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: white face mask, white socks. You see those guys come out,

283
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: especially on a night game, they come out of the

284
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: tunnel with those uniforms on. It's like they're it's it's

285
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: really looks like they're electrified, like they're lit up. They

286
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: pop so big. It is awesome to see. Yeah, I

287
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: love those white uniforms. The reds too, Yeah, they all

288
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: reds are nice too, because I think the team looks

289
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: big when they're in all red, you know what I mean,

290
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: physically big. I don't know what that that must be

291
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: an optical illusion or something because they look they look,

292
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, like big dudes in red even on TV. Yeah,

293
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: you really, you can't go wrong with any of the options.

294
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: One other thing that we talked about this week that

295
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: Sal Capacho brought up a good point too. We were

296
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, if the Buffalo Bills decide to

297
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: move out of Orchard Park, stay in Orchard Park, new

298
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: the new stadium conversation, the report that came out that

299
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: said the Bills are going to be building a new

300
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: stadium here in Orchard Park and open air stadium, and

301
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, we were talking about, okay, if if they

302
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: do that, what are some of the things that we

303
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: would want the stadium to look like, what would we

304
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: want it to bring, and what kind of atmosphere would

305
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: we want it to have? And Sal tweeted on let's

306
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: see it was yesterday, I think, and he said, all right,

307
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: we'll continue the conversations about possibility of a new stadium,

308
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: but what's like your favorite atmosphere and how could you

309
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: replicate that? So, what's what's your favorite atmosphere out of

310
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: stadium that you've been to? And someone tweeted at me

311
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: in the conversation, and he said it like an atmosphere

312
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: that translates to it being on TV, so you can

313
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: flip the game on whatever sport it is, and you

314
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: can tell just by sitting on your couch watching the game,

315
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: like where it is. That atmosphere seems really cool, has

316
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: a lot of energy. And somebody tweeted at me and

317
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: looped in and said, Tennessee, that is why Tennessee because

318
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: you can fit one hundred and two thousand people volunteer stadium. Yeah,

319
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: University of Tennessee. Yeah, And I was talking about our

320
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: current stadium, high Mark Stadium. It gets loud, It is

321
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: very loud. It is top five, I would say, loudest

322
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: stadiums in the NFL for the size that you have.

323
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: But like I was saying, air escapes, so some of

324
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: the noise escapes there. You don't have a bowl. University

325
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: of Tennessee neil And Stadium. They have the bowl and

326
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and two thousand people and it gets

327
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: It was so loud. The first game that I went

328
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: to there, they played against Oklahoma. Baker Mayfield was still

329
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: on the team then and I got goose bumps. It

330
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: was so loud. I know, exactly what you mean. I

331
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: was working the sidelines, and it does have a lot

332
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: to do with how the stadium's built, like Seattle has

333
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: those two covered sides, and that kind of holds the

334
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: thing in. Of course, a dome stadium will do that.

335
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: I'll say this, the most the noisiest stadium I've ever

336
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: been in at any moment was when I was on

337
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: the sidelines during the AFC Championship game in RCA Dome

338
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. The Colts Peyton manning against Tom Brady, and

339
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: the Colts jumped or the Patriots jumped out to like

340
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: a twenty one to three lead in the first half,

341
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: and with a minute to go, there was a one

342
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: yard run for the score to go ahead to win

343
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: the game. And my it was the first time I

344
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: really like hurt because of the sound. And it was

345
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: because it was so loud in there, because it was

346
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: all it was enclosed, you know, it had a bubble.

347
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: And it was a week before my hearing. I didn't

348
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: have a ringing in my ear since that Since that time,

349
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: I've remembered it because of the ringing in my ears.

350
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: So and that was just because I was standing right

351
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: there right I mean, I was on the sidelines. I

352
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: didn't have any I didn't have any noise can I

353
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: started wearing noise cancelers after that, like earmuff. So that's

354
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: the noisiest I've ever been. And that had to do with,

355
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, the magnitude of the game and the build

356
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: of the stadium. Now the new one Lucas Oil not

357
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: even closed close because it's so big, and that that

358
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: the configuration is different. You know, it's not you got

359
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: a round thing on top that's like a telescope. It

360
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: focuses everything that happened. It focuses right back on the

361
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: center of the field. This barn thing with the flat sides,

362
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: not even nearly. It doesn't bounce that sound off like

363
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: that does. So there, I think you're right, there is

364
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: a way you can maximize your crowd noise. I don't

365
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: know if it's worth building the stadium exactly for that,

366
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: because there's so many other considerations. First, right size, configuration,

367
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: football only, indoor, outdoor, roofed or not root all of

368
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: that stuff and how much it's going to cost and

369
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: who's paying for it has a lot to do with,

370
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, what it's going to look like. But some

371
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: of these stadiums do carry that off better than others.

372
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: But the atmosphere, yeah, it's I mean, we got a

373
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: pretty good at that. I'll say this too, one of

374
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: the in recent here in recent years, the best atmosphere

375
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: I ever saw was the halftime when Thurman got his

376
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: jersey retired. It was a night game Patriots. I think

377
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: they turned off the lights, turned on the red sections

378
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: underneath the side the stadium, and the stadium looked absolutely phenomenal.

379
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it looked awesome and they had the lights

380
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: on the It's just great, really great atmosphere for that

381
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: kind of event at halftime, right, So you know there

382
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: are different looks for every stadium, but that when I

383
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: think the team really carried it off nice. It really

384
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: looked sharp. So that's kind of cool that they can

385
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: pull off an event like that at halftime or whatever

386
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: for national TV. And when people stay in their seats

387
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: for something like that at halftime. I mean, I know

388
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: Bills fans know how important Thurman is to this community

389
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: and was the Bills, so they wouldn't go anywhere. But

390
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: that's retires jersey is that big. That's big time big.

391
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: We've got some callers calling in about the uniforms. So

392
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: let's take a call. We're gonna go to Mark from

393
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: West Seneca. You are on with us, Mark, Hold on, No, Mark,

394
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: you're not on with us. My call screener is not working.

395
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: So you guys hang on the line there because when

396
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: we go to break, we're going to fix this and

397
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: then Mark, we will go to you in just a

398
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. But yeah, other other stadiums people were

399
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: saying that had really great atmospheres LSU European soccer. Yeah,

400
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: college stadiums are are, you know, some of the best

401
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: in the world because of the configuration and the tradition

402
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: and you know the way the fans are with those

403
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: with those teams and for that level of football Division

404
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: one sec. Whatever you want, it's about the team. It's

405
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: not really There are stars every year on those teams,

406
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: but it's about the helmet. It's about the logo more

407
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: so than the players. Like pro football, where you're coming

408
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: to cheer for Josh and you're coming to cheer for

409
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds and you're coming to cheer for Steph Diggs

410
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: and stuff. You love the guys because you know them

411
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: so well that in college it's different. Guys every year almost,

412
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: So it's about the mascot almost, you know what I mean.

413
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: So that's kind of cool that no matter who's playing

414
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: for it, man, let's go, and it's it's a different

415
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: kind of feel I think long term. Yeah, and they

416
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 1: usually have like an entrance into the stadium that they

417
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: do in college football. At Tennessee they had the Vall

418
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: Walk and it would line the street right outside of

419
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: the stadium and fans would line up, you know, x

420
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: minutes before they would go into the stadium, and the

421
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: streets for big games they were packed like twenty people

422
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: deep were lining the streets and the team would walk

423
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: through and high five people or hug people, and it

424
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: was just such a cool scene and such a cool

425
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: site just to see so many people in the street

426
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: welcoming you and cheering you on as you went into

427
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: the stadium to get ready for that Saturday game. I

428
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: loved that. Yeah, there's a lot of cool stuff that

429
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: colleges do. You go to Old miss in the Grove

430
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: there and Knoxville and yeah there's Notre Dame you go

431
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: there that places almost reeks of tradition. Yeah, Penn State

432
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: wide out, Yeah, good stuff. Yeah, Ohio State is the Horseshoe.

433
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: It's pretty impressive. Yeah, there's Yeah, there's a lot of

434
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: stuff that's really cool. Yeah, around the country. And that's

435
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: why I'm so thankful and so happy I work for

436
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: a team that has an environment similar to a college

437
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: football environment. I don't know what. I'm such a passionate

438
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: fan myself, and I just love sports so much, and

439
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: I love football so much, and to go to a

440
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: different NFL team, I think if I were to work

441
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: for a different NFL team that didn't have that type

442
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: of atmosphere environment, it would be hard for me. When

443
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: I worked at Stanford before coming to Tennessee, we had

444
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey on our team, Steve, he was a freshman.

445
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: This kid was like, Okay, he's gonna be special, and

446
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: they could not fill the stadium because it just wasn't

447
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: that type of crowd. It wasn't the type of student

448
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: body either, because people came to Stanford from all over

449
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: the world to go there to get a really good degree.

450
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: And when you get people coming from all over the world,

451
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: people don't grow up with American football, and so it's

452
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: not in their blood. They weren't raised watching American football,

453
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: and so you don't get the type of atmosphere from

454
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: the student body. You don't get the type of atmosphere

455
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: from the crowd because it's northern California and Palo Alto

456
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: and that's just not the thing to do every single Saturday. Sure,

457
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: some saturdays they had a decent crowd, but it was

458
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: like heartbreaking to me. Right. I'm I've got a buddy

459
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: of mine. I mentioned this last week or maybe early

460
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: in the week. I'm on my phone of buddy of

461
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: mine sent me a video of himself. It's not of him,

462
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: it's of high Mark right before opening kickoff on opening

463
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: day and he sent it to me and it was

464
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: live and as loud music. I'm gonna see if I

465
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: can pull it off my phone. Maybe we'll get it

466
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: on it for MSG viewers and they'll give you chills.

467
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: I mean, you forget it's been so long, You forget

468
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: what it's really like to be in there when that

469
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: place is full. And I mean I forgot too. I

470
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: mean it was. It's interesting for me because when I played,

471
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: no matter what happened opening kickoff, I was always on

472
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: the field. I was either returning it or covering it.

473
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: So I never really got a chance to like sit

474
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: back and watch that opencame those few moments and I

475
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: was there for the coin toss once in a while

476
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: and all that. But so when I he showed that

477
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: to me, I'd forgotten, you know, it was like that

478
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: and you know, I'll see if I can dig that

479
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: through my phone and get that for us out of

480
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: the next break. But it was, you know, that atmosphere. Yes,

481
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It is, and it's like very something that's

482
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: very emotional to me, is just an atmosphere of a

483
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: game or an event like even the NFL Draft. The

484
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: moments leading up to when the NFL Draft starts, I'm

485
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: usually a pile of tears if I have a second

486
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: to really think about it, because it's just such a

487
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: special moment for so many young men who are like

488
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: realizing their dreams have came true and their lives are

489
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: being changed, their families, lives are being changed, and that

490
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: just triggers me. And it's the same thing on kickoff

491
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: when we saw fans back in the stadium for the

492
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: first time. I was in our control room watching the game,

493
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: getting ready for a postgame show Bills tonight, and I

494
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: stepped out to check out the scene outside and of

495
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: course in two seconds, I was like in tears and

496
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: I was like, manic, come on, we got to do better.

497
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: There was only six thousand people, and I'm like, this

498
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: is so cool. I was, it was, It is cool.

499
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is when you get there

500
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: and you're all you know, everybody's cheering for the team

501
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: and for that one, for your team, mostly, if not everybody.

502
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: It's it's particularly in this day and age with mask unmasked, vaccinated, unvaccinated.

503
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: You know this political party or that political party that

504
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: you voted for this person about nine people, everybody's in

505
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: it together. Yeah, and it's it's pretty stark difference from

506
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: the world we live on social media and all that stuff.

507
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: You know, when everybody's standing and cheering for the same thing,

508
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty moving, particularly when we've been through fourteen or

509
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: fifteen months of or by that time it'll be eighteen

510
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: nineteen months of being at home, yeah, of being and

511
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: also being separated and also being a polar opposite of opinions.

512
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: So to come back into the building and have everybody

513
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: there together and you know, high five Ivan and all that,

514
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be pretty emotional. I think for a

515
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: lot of people. Yeah, and I think for a lot

516
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: of players too, I hope. So I'm so excited. I've

517
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: said this before, probably on the show. I cannot wait

518
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: for our rookies and our second year players who didn't

519
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: get to see the stadium full for them to get

520
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: to see Bill's Mafia. I did an interview with Antonio Williams,

521
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: the running back that'll go out on bill Buffalo bills

522
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: dot com probably in a couple of weeks as we

523
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: count down to camp. We're going to start releasing a

524
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: bunch of content here in the next few days. And

525
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 1: I said, you know, what are you looking forward to

526
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: most and usually it's to get back on the field

527
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: of my teammates x y Z And he was like,

528
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm most excited about seeing Bill's Mafia in Himark Stadium.

529
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, there's it was such a lost

530
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: year in a year, in the last year you'd ever

531
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: want to lose, you know, the year that you just

532
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: roll back to the top of the conference. Yeah, And

533
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: we were saying, didn't it It would just be our

534
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: luck if if we made it to the super Bowl

535
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: this year in Bill's Mafia couldn't even be there. Yeah,

536
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: and you think about the moments the playoff games that

537
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: the mistail Mary at the end of the Indianapolis game

538
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: and the one hundred and one yard pick six by

539
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson against Lamar Jackson. It was I mean, you

540
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: just think they were and I keep I keep telling

541
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: people that it's probably in a lot of ways, probably

542
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: good because you feel like in a game, in a

543
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: play like Tarn Johnson made, the paramedics around the stadium

544
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: would have got six calls from people with chest pains.

545
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: That people would have been just having to sit down.

546
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: It would have been. It was so unbelievable. I was,

547
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: I was. I was watching Murph make sure he was okay.

548
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: I was sitting in there. I it was all I

549
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: could do not to just, you know, to just scream

550
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: the whole way. I come hot, you know, and I'm

551
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: trying to teach myself as a radio analyst to keep

552
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: quiet from Murf's call, and oh my gosh, I had

553
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: my hand over my mouth, and so I know that

554
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: people would have injured themselves in the celebration of that.

555
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: It was. It was absolutely off the hook when Terry

556
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: because everybody did the same thing. He caught it in

557
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: the end zone, and it took like a two tenths

558
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: of a second for everybody go what happened because it

559
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: was thrown into a crowd. He comes out and everybody's

560
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna go just go down, Just go down, don't do

561
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: any crazy. He keeps it, He brings it out and

562
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: he takes off of the side and about a hat

563
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: two maybe literally two seconds later after he caught that thing,

564
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, he's gonna go, you know, and

565
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: then he and Tredavious White comes in. He gets outside

566
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: of Tredavious Lamar is the last guy with a chance.

567
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: He got no chance. It was absolutely unbelievable. So I know,

568
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: the pair our medics would have been looking after something,

569
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: somebody who gotten hurt. You know, there'd have been like

570
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: two or three people in there with chest pain. Somebody

571
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: else would have fallen over the seats and cracked their

572
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: head something, and you know, nobody got to you know,

573
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: six thousand people and even then it was loud. It

574
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: was loud. Yeah, it was, Oh my gosh. You so,

575
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I think it's going to be an

576
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: emotional day on September twelve and people show up there.

577
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be an unbelievable moment. I

578
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: think it's um, it's really really unifying in a time

579
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: when we've been so distant and so apart, it's gonna

580
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: be nice to come back together in a way like

581
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: that and in a place like that, and definitely will

582
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: be We're gonna take our first break of the show here.

583
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will get to the phone line,

584
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: So you guys who have been hanging on, just hang

588
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: Bills Live. On this Friday afternoon. We were discussing atmosphere,

589
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: fans being back, alternate uniforms, the whole nine yards in

590
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: our first segment. But we have some callers who have

591
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: been hanging on. My call screener slash computer was not

592
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: We fixed it operating correctly, just my luck. But it

593
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: is now and we're going to get back to our

594
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: conversation about these alternate uniforms, alternate helmets. I should say so,

595
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: Mark from West Seneca, you are on with us, what

596
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: do you think about these alternate helmets. What would you

597
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: want them to look like in twenty twenty two. Well,

598
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm partial because I'm an old guy and to the original.

599
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: I absolutely love the all white uniform, the standing buffalo.

600
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: I think it's brilliant when when you see it that way.

601
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: I would love to see the Bills for one year

602
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: go back to the standing buffalo as the logo all

603
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: year long. I don't no matter what they're wearing. I

604
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: think that would be That would be awesome. But what

605
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: actually compelled me to call today was Steve. You made.

606
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: You threw out a couple of names. And I know

607
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: you're from Kansas, and I know you didn't grow up

608
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: a Bills fan, but you throughout Jack Kemp and Cookie

609
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: Gilt Chris. So I have a question for you, which

610
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: is when and how did you consciously, at some point

611
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: in time investigate and learn about the Bill's history. I

612
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: know you're a Buffalonians through and through now, especially when

613
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: you thrown names out like that, but how much of

614
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: the history of the franchise do you actually know? And

615
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: how much about the sixties? And then moving forward? Because

616
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: I always find that interesting. Um, I could sit and

617
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: talk about guys like Earthquake and you're mini Max Anderson

618
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: and and then of course the stars like Sustak and

619
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: McGuire and whatever. But I just was very interested in

620
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: one and how you actually and how much do you

621
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: actually know about the three as a team, which I

622
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: know you love now Well I do. Yeah, I don't

623
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: know as much as probably some old time fans do,

624
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: because there's still people who come up to me and

625
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: I talk with and and and friends with who you know,

626
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: went went to games in the rock Pile, and they're

627
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: they're older than me, but you know, they're that generation's

628
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: leaving us, you know. I mean, let's be real. But

629
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't know as much as probably a fan like

630
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: you would probably Mark, I knew. I know this the

631
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: one thing I'm really proud of. One time I was traveling,

632
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: we were traveling around whatever. I was with my wife

633
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: and we were in the Atlanta Airport and uh, we

634
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: got on you know, if you've ever been in the

635
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: Atlanta airport, it's like the Denver Airport and some other airports.

636
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: They have a big train underneath it right where you

637
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: go from from terminal to terminal on this train, right,

638
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: so it's a big one. And so we're in this

639
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: we pull on this train. I'm standing there and holding

640
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: onto this like a subway, and I look over and

641
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: there's a gentleman standing next to me, and he's got this,

642
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, shoulder leather duffel bag, you know, like everybody

643
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: has right, and it's got the Atlanta Falcons thing stuck

644
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: on the side. And I look at him and I

645
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: know who he is, and I reached out and I

646
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: shook his and I reached my hand out to shake

647
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: his hand, and he looked at me and and I said,

648
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say hello, Golden Wheels. And it

649
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: was Elbert Golden Wheels Debinion, who was a firm wide

650
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: he was a scout for at that time. He's a

651
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: scout for the Falcons. I said, hey, Golden Wheels, I

652
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: just want to say hello. And he laughs, he goes wow,

653
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: he goes, you know, nobody called you know he was

654
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: he played in the sixties for the Bills and we're

655
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and all that, and I came and I

656
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: was young, you know, at that time, I was probably

657
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: still playing. And I said, I just want to say hello,

658
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: I know, you know, And I think I made his day, yeah,

659
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: by saying, you know, calling him Golden Wheels. So that, Yeah,

660
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: I don't know as much about the history of the

661
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: Bills as a lot of people. I probably know more

662
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: than some, but um, you know, certainly, I'm friends with

663
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: Paul McGuire and those kind of guys, and I met

664
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: Jack Camp a number of times before he passed, but

665
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: I never got a chance to meet Cookie. But yeah,

666
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: some of those guys I know that football is the

667
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: Golden Era. Yeah, I would. I would die to meet Albert.

668
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: I was a kid when I watched him play, and

669
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: he was unbelievable and an absolute great football player. So

670
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: but I hope it's the way it is for fans

671
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: in general. But I'm pretty sure in Buffalo, guys like me,

672
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: we passed that information and knowledge down to our kids.

673
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: So I have a son who I'm sure knows probably more,

674
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: because he's one of those people on the internet who's

675
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: always looking stuff up. Yeah, about the Bills, as I do. So,

676
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: but I was just curious and that's what compelled me

677
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: to call. So you guys have a great date. Thanks, Mark,

678
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Yeah, anybody else wants to call in

679
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: about their favorite uniforms or what they And I'm a

680
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: big fan of the standing buffalo too. I have no

681
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: problem with it. I like the charging buffalo on the sides.

682
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: It makes it a little more modern, makes it look

683
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: a little sleeker, makes it look different. Whatever. The standing buffalo,

684
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of looks so good. I

685
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: never wore the stand well, I did one game, but

686
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: and you think about it. We had a throwback game

687
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: back in the was it that early eighties or nineties,

688
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: where and we had a white standing buffalo on the

689
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: red helmet with the modern start because they wouldn't let

690
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: us change like this like this, here's rule. You only

691
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: had one helmet you had to wear, so we had

692
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: to wear red helmets. But it was a throwback. So

693
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: instead of having a white helmet with a red buffalo,

694
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: we had red helmets with the white buffalo, and we

695
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: had stripes on it, so the old the modern stripes.

696
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: So it looked really strange. I thought it was one

697
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: of the worst looks ever. Yeah, it was. It was.

698
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: It was an ugly get up. We played the Denver

699
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: Broncos that night. Do you win? I do not think so.

700
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: I think it had to be eighty eight unlucky helmets,

701
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 1: eighty seven eight eight maybe it's eighty nine. But um,

702
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: it was a horrible looking uniform we wore on a

703
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: night game National TV. It looked awful. So but I

704
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: as a general rule, I'm a big fan of the

705
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: standing Standing Buffalo. While I love this the Charging Buffalo

706
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: we played with, I take I think I take a

707
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: lot of pride in the Standing Buffalo because it's the city, right,

708
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: not just the team. Yeah, I think I do, Yeah,

709
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: I gotta. I'll say that. We've got another call, Julian

710

717
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: can change, like make our own holmet. I was curious

718
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: to see a blue helmet with a white standing buffalow

719
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: that and another one. I wanted to get your thoughts

720
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: on the US. Most of service have a black uniform.

721
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 1: I don't know they're talking about uniforms, but they're throwing

722
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: that out there. I think it'll be real nice to

723
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: have all black helmet with the green charging buffalo, all

724
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: black with a salute to service. I don't know. I

725
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: want to get you guys thoughts on that. Yeah, I

726
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: like that, thanks for calling in, Julian. Absolutely with a

727
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: green salute to service. Yet, yeah, I kind of. I

728
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: mean every single game, not every single game, but almost

729
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: every single game has cause tied to it. You know,

730
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: you have your Salute to Service game, you have um,

731
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: the breast cancer awareness, the pink game, Uh, the purple game.

732
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: Might cause my cleats, right, might cause my cleats? Wherever

733
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: all the guys doing. Yeah, there's a ton of them,

734
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: and I agree it the Salute to Service opens up.

735
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: Have you seen and this is another uniform off. Have

736
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: you ever seen any of the armed forces, the Navy Academy,

737
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: the Army, an Air Force. Yes, they've got some dynamite

738
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: uniform combinations. Oh my gosh, that service academies get for

739
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: the Army Navy game. They pull out all the stops

740
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: and they look sleek. I mean, they look fantastic those

741
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: jerseys and they have even guys, even some guys on

742
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: the same team will have different logos on the helmet.

743
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: I think in the Naval academ I saw him one time.

744
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: I can't remember if this if they actually wore it

745
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: in the game or wherever. It was very subtle, but

746
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: on the side of the helmet they wore a silhouette

747
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: of the actual type of ship they were going to

748
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: serve on in the navy. So one guy would have

749
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: a carrier, one guy would have a destroyer, one guy

750
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: would have a submarine, one guy you know what I mean.

751
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: It was. It was really cool and they all look

752
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: the same but subtly different. Man. Man. Yeah, the service academies,

753
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: the uniforms they put out, or I think maybe maybe

754
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: the standard center for the entire industry. I could get

755
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: in on some black helmets with some green in their

756
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: first salute service or like Julie mentioned, blue and white

757
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: for white standing Buffalo. I like it. We're gonna take

758
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: a break, but when we come back, some more conversation

759
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: about these uniforms, and coming up at one o'clock, we've

760
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: got Nate Davis from USA Today on with us. So

761
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: don't go anywhere. One Bills Live presented by Claude Health.

762
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. But you alas don't recognize

763
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: the stadium. We're just showing a video on screen now

764
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: the MSG viewers of what opening day. I think two

765
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen given me the Jools, and it was the Bills.

766
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: I guess Bills versus It wasn't two thousand nineteen. It

767
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: was maybe it's the Miami Dolphins or something. A home

768
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: opener for twenty nineteen. And remember the in twenty nineteen,

769
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: the Bills opened twice on the road, once at the Jets,

770
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: and then went right back to and played the Giants

771
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 1: in week two, and then I think that was Week

772
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: three home opener against the Dolphins or somebody. Video taken

773
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: from the stands by a friend of mine, and man,

774
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: oh man, it's yea. The sound doesn't do it justice

775
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: in the video, but man, oman, what an atmosphere, packed

776
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: place packed, everybody's on their feet and it was, you know,

777
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: he panned the whole stadium back and forth about three

778
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: or four times, and it just everybody was standing. And

779
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 1: you check that into my veins. Yes, it cannot wait

780
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: till Week one against Steelers. One home game. We also

781
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: a way to start out during the break. Somebody that

782
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: helmet that I hated that we wore in the nineteen

783
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: eighty nine game, I think against the Denver Broncos. Somebody

784
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: tweeted in a picture. I don't think it's not ugly.

785
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's horrible. It's a red helmet with

786
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: a white standing buffalo and blue stripes down the middle.

787
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: It's got a picture of Thurman wearing it. It's death

788
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: looks awful. Na I hated it. I could, I'd be down.

789
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: I like the standing buffalo. I like it on anything

790
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: I do too. I like the standing buffalo, I do.

791
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take one call. We've got a

792
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: caller and from Orchard Park. Who wants to talk about atmosphere?

793
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: All right, what type of atmosphere do you love most,

794
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: whether it's college football or the NFL. Well, for your

795
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: everyday game, it's tough to be, you know, Buffalo for

796
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: a regular season game. But I'm a Penn Stater, So

797
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: I went to plenty and I still gold a plenty

798
00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: white out games and for individual games. Nothing. It's a

799
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: white out game and Happy Valley against a big time opponent,

800
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: usually Michigan or Ohio State. One hundred and ten thousand

801
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: fans packed in there. It's unreal not to mention the

802
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: best classic unis if you like playing you look in

803
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: uniforms in all of football. Yep. I think that's a

804
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: bucket list thing for me. I've I've been I've been

805
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: by that stadium and I'm the thing about that stadium

806
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: of Happy Valley. And I've only been there once, never

807
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: seen a game there at all, But we were there

808
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: in the spring or something. Everything was green and it

809
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: was beautiful and all that. And that stadium looks like

810
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: it is just nestled into the Pennsylvania countryside. Yeah, And

811
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: at certain angles of where you're driving, you can see

812
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 1: it from a distance and it literally looks like somebody

813
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: just just set right into the tree right in the

814
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: nestles of the hills there. You can't see anything else

815
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: around it, and it's just a phenomenal, a little setting. Uh.

816
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: And then when you see that's from a distance, then

817
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: you get up close to that night, it's it's enormous.

818
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean it goes on. The stating goes on forever.

819
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the seats are just just go up and

820
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: up and up and up and up. It's a gigantic venue,

821
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: but it really is the the out the atmosphere around it,

822
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: and the countryside around. It's like, wow, what with that?

823
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty striking. Thanks for going giving us a call. Yeah,

824
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: I think you put games on like, okay, this is

825
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: my bucket list. When it comes to UM sporting events

826
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: or games, I think Penn Stay wide Out has got

827
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: to be on there. For me. I want to go

828
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: to LSU Night Game, UM Night Game and death Cubs.

829

832
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: We can talk about here, maybe about two o'clock. But

833
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: we've got to take it around, not go to a

Speaker 1: Welcome into One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive. Matti

845
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: lab alongside Steve Tasker, filling in for Chris Brown for

846
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: the week while he's on vacation, and we are now

Speaker 1: joined by Nate Davis from USA today. He's an NFL

848
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: writer joining us right now. Nate, thanks for taking the

849
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: time to be with us on a Friday afternoon, and

850
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: we are going to look through a couple of the

851
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: articles we've been going through in the break and seeing

852
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: what you've been writing recently. And one of the things

853
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: that struck us is just how much movement and turnover

854
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: we could possibly see when it comes to the quarterbacks

855
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two seasons. So what made you

856
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: want to write an article like this and what are

857
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: some of the highlights that people can find if they

858
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: read it? Well? You know, Actually, Adam Scheffer gave you

859
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: this idea back in I think it was February, and

860
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: it's set you over under quarterback changes for this year

861
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: at around eighteen I think, kind of off the top

862
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: of his head. But if you got me to thinking,

863
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: and I just kind of looked at all the situations,

864
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, back in February, and it seemed like it

865
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: was a good, solid twelve. But you know, since then,

866
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, the shoes in Green Bay, Seattle, certainly Houston

867
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: have really come to light since then. Um, and you know,

868
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 1: I think we could have half the league, you know,

869
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: depending on how some of these QB battles and can't

870
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: play out turnover this year, and then we may be

871
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: looking at a similar turnover again next year, just based

872
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: on contracts and um, you know, rookies coming in and

873
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Certainly, people in Buffalo Shore not

874
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: to worry about that. In what has changed over the

875
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: generations because it can't be only free agency, although I'm

876
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: sure that's a huge factor in it, but other teams

877
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: are the teams are starting to trade and just outright

878
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: release or get rid of guys or change horses if

879
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: you will, if you want to call a quarterback a

880
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: horse back. In when I was coming up or in

881
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, through the seventies eighties, and certainly the nice

882
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: nobody moved to you did not get rid of quarterbacks. Ever,

883
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 1: you rarely saw those guys change teams. What has changed, Yeah,

884
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things, Steve, I think I

885
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: think one is that we used to think of certain

886
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 1: contracts as untrede table just salary cap wise, particularly probably

887
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: this year with the cap being depressed. But I think

888
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: I think the other thing too is that I think

889
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: a lot of teams aren't weren't as willing to move

890
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: on from first round picks as they are now. But

891
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at this year and you see

892
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and Jared Goff too, really big contracts that

893
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: are basically just starting. Both those guys under extensions, UM

894
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: get traded, and you know the Eagles and the Rams

895
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: both take huge cap picks with those kind of moves. Uh.

896
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: And then you see guys like Dwayne Haskins Um, you know,

897
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, Paxton Lynch. I mean, teams are more willing

898
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 1: to pull the trigger now on a first round bus,

899
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: you know, in two years or less. So I think

900
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: those those are major things where we're just kind of

901
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: seeing the team you're not you're not seeing the same

902
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: level of patients with these guys, whether it's older guys

903
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: under contract or a younger guys first round picks. You

904
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: think we get a little bit of runway to grow

905
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: into the role. So who are the few teams that

906
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: you can say, you know, twenty twenty two, we'll probably

907
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: see a quarter back change for these few teams in

908
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. I mean, I think I got the

909
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: list up to up to about seventeen feasible ones, uh

910
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: in my mind. And then there are a few that

911
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: are unlike you know, I mean one being you know,

912
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: I'm pretty certain Kyler Murray will we'll be with the

913
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals going into his fourth year in twenty twenty two.

914
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: But I mean that is a team that that you know,

915
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury's already in a hot seat. You know, Kyler

916
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: Murray keeps talking about, uh, he wants to play a

917
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: major league baseball um, and you can just kind of

918
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: see that kind of situation potentially unraveling given what we've seen.

919
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: What we saw we thought a sure best with Russell

920
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: Wilson and Aaron Rodgers and Shawn wantson to me if

921
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: those kind of things can start to come on glue

922
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: And certainly you can see one like that, but um,

923
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: you know other ones. You know, you look at Derek Carr,

924
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, we hear his name come up around his

925
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: draft time every year. Um, I mean next year, the

926
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: Raiders can release him and treat him without any stalary

927
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: cap ramifications, um and start over there. So uh, you know,

928
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers or Aaron J Russell Wilson still around

929
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: next year? Um? It seems like that if they're really

930
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: going to move on, you know, next year is probably

931
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: the more feasible time to do it. And then you look,

932
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, I mean Ben Roethlisberger certainly another one. He's

933
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: entering the last year of his contract and probably the

934
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: last year of his career. But then you look at

935
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: those younger guys as well. You know, Daniel Jones goes

936
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 1: into years three now with the Giants. Um, they put

937
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 1: a supporting cast around him, certainly a better supporting cast

938
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: around him than Sam Darnold had with the Jets. But

939
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, as I said, Sam Darnold's already gone after

940
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: after three years and get the number three pick, um

941
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: to Daniel Jones suffer the same fate with the Giants,

942
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: and then just other places that you know, Um, Jayalen Hurts,

943
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, how does it go for him this year? Um?

944
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: Does a Washington football team, they don't really have a

945
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: guy under contract for next year, other than I believe

946
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 1: Taylor Heinekey, But are they really gonna go into twenty

947
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: twenty two with Taylor Heineke as their guy? So just

948
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: pretty much almost anywhere you look, you know at least

949
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: probably fifty percent chance that that team could be switching

950
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Yeah, and there's a number of

951
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: teams who just drafted their guy of the future this year.

952
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: We don't know how any of those guys are going

953
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: to turn out everywhere from Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson

954
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 1: on the way down the line. How much do you

955
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: give credence to Is it nature with these guys are nurtured?

956
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: Does it? Is it the things that this quarterback brings

957
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: to the table or is it the atmosphere put around him?

958
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: Certainly you can make a case for both those things

959
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: being present here. With the development of Josh Allen, he

960
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: came in really raw, but all kinds of gifts. He's

961
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: there's no question he's worked really hard to get better.

962
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: But there's also no question he's had a stable organization

963
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 1: with which to thrive in as well. So you know,

964
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: from your perspective, these young guys who have just come

965
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: into the league, you talk about guys moving around. What

966
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: causes a guy to be successful? Is it the surrounding

967
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: cast or is the guy himself? Well, I think you

968
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: said it's Steve. I think I think it's both. I mean,

969
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: if we just look at the twenty eighteen class, you know,

970
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: as an example, uh, Like, like you said, Josh Allen

971
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: has had the benefit of going into a stable organization

972
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: where they were all on him, They built around him

973
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: at present, they had a patience instantly challenge. Did his

974
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: part in improving his game really really an imprecedented ways

975
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: from from year two to year three. Um, you know,

976
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield had a much better situation last year, uh

977
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: and seems like he's going to be fine there. But

978
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, Lamark Jackson has had the similar benefits that

979
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,439
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen did, and maybe even more so given

980
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: he didn't have to start right away. But um, you know,

981
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: it also shows that you know, uh Lmar Jackson, Patrick

982
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: my homes show that you can win an MVP basically

983
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: in your second year as a starter. And I kind

984
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,399
Speaker 1: of think that's why teams are so much more willing

985
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: to pull the trigger on changes this year, because they

986
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: see that results can be can be very quick. But

987
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you talk about nature versus urture on

988
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin, I mean, did Josh

989
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: Rosen really have a fair shot in Arizona, given you know,

990
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: the new coaching staff that year, given what was around him,

991
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: probably not. Uh. And people up in Buffalo have seen

992
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold a few times, and you know, I don't

993
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: think what happened the Jets is really any fault to

994
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: Sam Darnolds. I mean, he didn't always play great, but uh,

995
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, we we've kind of seen what he had

996
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: around him, which was and much and certainly with the

997
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: instability organizationally that occurred for his three years there. You know,

998
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: he's one guy that I'm really curious to see how

999
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: how he does with the Panthers this year, given he's

1000
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: now surrounded by good talent there by a gifted offensive

1001
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: coordinator we think in Joe Brady. But you know, again,

1002
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: he's probably got a show market improvement this year, even

1003
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: though he's really tied them next year. But he's not

1004
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: great this year. The Anthers are probably gonna be looking

1005
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 1: for a quarterback in the draft next year after going

1006
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: with Sam, even though they had the opportunity to draft

1007
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: Justin Fields or Mac Jones this year. So with the

1008
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: NFL now today that we're seeing where teams are easy

1009
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: there they move on from quarterbacks more easily than they

1010
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 1: did ten years ago. We were having this conversation Steve

1011
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: and I earlier this week, probably in a break not

1012
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: on the show, I think, but we were talking about

1013
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame and how Hall of Fame quarterbacks,

1014
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: a decent amount of them were on teams for their

1015
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: entire career, or at least ten years. Do you think

1016
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: the the quarterback movement and how we're seeing quarterbacks jump

1017
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 1: from team to team more often now, do you think

1018
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: that affects their Hall of Fame candidacy at all? Or

1019
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: do you think maybe it won't really because it's so

1020
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: common now in today's NFL to see guys float around

1021
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,479
Speaker 1: rather than stay with the team possibly for ten years

1022
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: or their entire career. You know, it's it's an interesting question. Um.

1023
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think another fact of life

1024
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL is pretty much everybody switched teams at

1025
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: some point. I mean, I mean it's pretty rare to have, uh,

1026
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, say an Eli Manning kind of career where

1027
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: you're with one team from from soup to nuts. I mean,

1028
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 1: you could argue he was drafted by the Chargers obviously,

1029
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: But I mean when you see guys like like Peyton Manning,

1030
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, who I'm sure you know many of us

1031
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: all thought, you know, career cult career patriot will ever

1032
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: wear another uniform? You know, when that caliber of player

1033
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 1: us whitches teams, I think ultimately it doesn't, uh, you know,

1034
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: it's not gonna hurt their Hall of Fame cases. I mean, obviously,

1035
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's already going in, tom Brady will will be

1036
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, the discussion for him going in, we'll be

1037
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, five seconds at that. But I think when

1038
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 1: you're talking about guys that are going from team to team,

1039
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: the team UM that that kind of probably suggests that

1040
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:15,240
Speaker 1: caliber player and that he's not, um, you know, finding

1041
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: someone to invest in him for the long term. But again,

1042
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: I think in this era, good luck finding many quarterbacks

1043
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: that that stay their entire career. Ben Roethlisberger probably another one.

1044
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: But besides that, he's got more more left in him

1045
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: after this season, and the Steelers don't you know, you

1046
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: can see Big Ben play playing somewhere else. But I

1047
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: think that's just kind of a fact of life of

1048
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: the NFL in this in this era. And one of

1049
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: the things about it is, and think back, can we've

1050
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: we've been down this road of time. Everybody's talked about

1051
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: how Aaron Rodgers came in because he was drafted in

1052
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: the first round to replace Brett Farve, and then four

1053
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: years later or three years later, Brett Farr was still

1054
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: taking snaps. And then other times where Joe Montana had

1055
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: Steve Young behind him, and and there have been other

1056
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: cases where I'm just what I'm getting too, is it

1057
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: rarely ends well for great quarterbacks. You know, Ben Roethlisberger.

1058
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how willing he's gonna be to gracefully

1059
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: walk away from Pittsburgh and if he wants to play again,

1060
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: play somewhere else, or if he'll get bitter about Pittsburgh

1061
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: not giving him another year, if it comes to that.

1062
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: But a lot of quarterbacks, Joe Montana went to Kansas City,

1063
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: Johnny Unitius went to the Chargers, Joe Namath went to

1064
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: the Rams. You go down the list, how do you

1065
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: think this is gonna all? Knowing that what happens in

1066
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,479
Speaker 1: Green Bay this time around with Aaron Rodgers and Jordan

1067
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: Love sitting behind him. Does it does Aaron Rodgers retire

1068
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: for a year and then bounce back with as a

1069
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: true free agent? Yea, if I had the answer to that, Steve,

1070
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people people calling me and

1071
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: then being on shows like this. But I mean, I

1072
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: certainly think that Aaron Rodgers holds a lot of cards here. Uh.

1073
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: And then that's another you know factor of this too

1074
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: is I think I think where we're in an era

1075
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: where players have more or leverage, certainly players of Aaron

1076
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers caliber uh to call their their shot to some degree. Um,

1077
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: and you know, eventually, you know, somebody's gonna have to

1078
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: to give him that situation. I think if the Packers

1079
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: keep saying but they're they're fully committed to him for

1080
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,919
Speaker 1: this season and beyond, and why wouldn't they be based

1081
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: based on how he played last year and based on

1082
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: what we're hearing on Jordan Love kind of being you know,

1083
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: up and down, you know by Matt with flores own

1084
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: admission right right now in OTA's in mini camp, when

1085
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: obviously it's it's much lower stress environment than what he

1086
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: would face in a game that being said to Jordan

1087
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: Love has never played in the NFL game preseason, regular season,

1088
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, was inactive all of last year and no

1089
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: preseason of course, uh last year. I mean, but you know,

1090
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: the transition worked pretty well for Green Bay last time.

1091
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: But you know that I certainly don't think that they

1092
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: want to make it, you know, uh, this time before

1093
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: they have to. But Aaron Rodgers is a guy who's

1094
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: got plenty of money. He's got plenty of options, you know,

1095
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: with with with Jeopardy, and the certainly has has an

1096
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: interest in acting. And now if the Hoonce say it

1097
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: lives in that world and probably it could open up

1098
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: other doors for him. Um, and I'm sure he'd like

1099
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: to be closer to the West coast and at some

1100
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: point in his life certainly you know a game with

1101
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Shalen Woodley being a Hollywood actress. But you know, you

1102
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: would think right now that the Chargers and certainly the

1103
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Rams look pretty set at quarterback. So, um, you don't

1104
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: mentioned the Raiders earlier. I mean to me that they're

1105
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: one of those prime options that maybe a year from now, um,

1106
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, potentially sooner depending on the way things go. Uh,

1107
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: could he go there? Could he could he go to Denver?

1108
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: But you would certainly think, as with the Packers did

1109
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: with Brett Farve back in two thousand and eight, that

1110
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: if just you know, becomes obvious that the marriage has

1111
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: has reached an end. Hard to imagine the Packers are

1112
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna trade Aaron Rodgers to an NFC team and he

1113
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: would have to take that that circuitous Brett Farve kind

1114
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: of path to get back if he wants to play

1115
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: them once or twice a year. Um. But but I

1116
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: would think if if, if it, if it goes ultimately

1117
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: go south, You'll see Rogers, maybe Denver, maybe it may

1118
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: maybe Vegas. Um, you know, I've even said, you know

1119
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: what about Cleveland. You know, Baker Mayfe isn't extended. There's

1120
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: certainly shown he could be a good effective quarterback. But

1121
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: given all the talent on that team, can you imagine

1122
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: if they could, if they could upgrade a quarterback with

1123
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Is there a quarterback that you think people

1124
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 1: are overlooking, who have who's going to have a pretty

1125
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: interesting season this year that could be telling for the

1126
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: rest of their future. Well, I mean, we haven't talked

1127
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: much about Russell Wilson. I'm it's going to be interesting

1128
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: to see, you know how how it goes with him,

1129
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: and he's trying to kind of tick tick the Kumbay approach.

1130
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: But I think, you know a lot of people in

1131
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: the NFL believe that that this situation might bubble up

1132
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: again with with the Seattle next year and this Russell

1133
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: Wilson move on at that point when his contract is

1134
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: a little easier to trade and the Seahawks don't have

1135
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 1: to eat so much so much dead money. Um, you know,

1136
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's another one. You know, did this he kind

1137
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: of enter a Matt Stafford kind of situation where the

1138
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: Falcons finally decided, you know, hey, we're going to reboot, Um,

1139
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: well we'll kind of eat the dead money here and

1140
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: see we can get back for Matt Ryan and hopefully

1141
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: send him new a situation where he can finally get

1142
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: that get that Lombardi trophy he's been chasing for more

1143
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,919
Speaker 1: more than a decade. So again, those are other guys

1144
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: you're looking at. And also just you know again misson,

1145
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, you know, it's going to be fascinating to

1146
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: see what happens in New Orleans. I mean, to Taysom

1147
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: Hill win that job, to Jameis Winston win that job.

1148
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: They drafted Ean Book. But but Winston and Taysim are

1149
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: both on basically one year deals. I mean, those guys

1150
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: aren't signed beyond this season. And again, I know a

1151
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: lot of people would sure love to see Aaron Rodgers

1152
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: married up with Sean Payton. Can you imagine those two

1153
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: guys working together in an offense under a dome with

1154
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: the talent they have there. Of course, that they have

1155
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: to figure out. They're always tenuous salary cap situation to

1156
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: make that work. But that's another spot to keep keep

1157
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: an eye on. Because Sean Payton doesn't really like what

1158
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: he sees out of Hill or Winston this year. He's

1159
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: gonna need somebody else twenty twenty two most likely. Well,

1160
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: we talked about how the players and the quarterbacks are

1161
01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 1: going to affect it, and certainly the players have to play.

1162
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: You know, the season and every team is going to

1163
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: be different. But you mean, you had an interesting article

1164
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: about the winners and losers from the schedule and how

1165
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: the schedule falls for each NFL team. What are your

1166
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: insights about the schedule itself and what it means for

1167
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: the teams around the league. It's going to be interesting

1168
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: this year. Just just Steve seeing how how teams manage

1169
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: the seventeen games anymore differently. Certainly it's it's a little

1170
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: bit of a built in advantage for the ASC teams

1171
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: getting that that ninth home game UH this year. But

1172
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: I think also it'll be interesting to kind of see,

1173
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, how how parody is potentially affective. I mean,

1174
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: we always talk about, um, you know, first place schedules,

1175
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: the second place schedules. I mean, I mean, if you're

1176
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: in a division, I mean, your schedule versus the rest

1177
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: of your team schedules historically hasn't really been that much different.

1178
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean, fourteen of the sixteen games you play, UM

1179
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: are the same as all your division opponents. UM. That's

1180
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: a little different this year because the way you can

1181
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: play that one extra game against the an NFC team, UM,

1182
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 1: and you know, in the Bill's case, it's it's it's

1183
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: a first place game, I guess, and then you know,

1184
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: I forget their extra opponents, the football team Washington. There

1185
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: you go, So they're playing another first place team. So

1186
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: you kind of wonder if that's gonna make parody even

1187
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: a little easier, you know, because the other side of

1188
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: that is, you know, for instance, the anfcast to just

1189
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: last place team. We're playing the last place team in

1190
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: the South being being the Panther. So, um, the the

1191
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: bad teams again are getting a little bit more of

1192
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 1: a break here. The good teams are going to get

1193
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: just a schedule. It's just even a little bit harder

1194
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: than it has in the past. So um, it's it's

1195
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. And then it'll just again with with

1196
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: that extra week. Um, how do you manage the bodies?

1197
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, players have have so much mileage on their bodies. Uh. Anyway,

1198
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: um uh, and then you know, again maybe probably more

1199
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: teams maybe having to play throughout the a team weeks.

1200
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see, I mean that that extra playoff

1201
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: spot it's up for grabs now with the three wild

1202
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: cards per conference. So it's it's really a shifting calculus

1203
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: year these last couple of years. And then as we

1204
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: look into twenty twenty two, we're going to see a

1205
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: Germany game added to the schedule. Why do you think

1206
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: that could be a success for the NFL as a whole. Yeah, well,

1207
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, I uh my dad was in the military,

1208
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: so I was in Germany when I was in high

1209
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: school the last few years, so I kind of got

1210
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good look there back and back in the nineties.

1211
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: I actually remember watching a Super Bowl twenty six in

1212
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: my basement between Steve Bills and Washington. Had to stay

1213
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: untill about three in the morning to watch that. It

1214
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: was happy to do it. But I mean the German

1215
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: fans were I think, I think, really much more enthusiastic

1216
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: about football than maybe they are in England, and they're

1217
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: pretty enthused there, but uh, you know, you could go

1218
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: to the old World League games there and you know,

1219
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: I was near the old Frankfurt Galaxy and it was

1220
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: kind of amusing because they were much more excited about

1221
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: punts and extra points than they were about first downs

1222
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: and touchdowns. But they loved it. I mean, they really

1223
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: supported it. I think I think the Galaxy was probably

1224
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 1: the longest running team over there, between NFL Europe and

1225
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: the World League and all that, and uh, you know,

1226
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: I wrote about this a little bit. You know. It

1227
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: was just funny too, because they would they would kind

1228
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: of wear whatever NFL merchandise they could find some German

1229
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: people and you would see knockoff jackets of the Raiders,

1230
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 1: for example, that were like purple and green, like you know,

1231
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: like where does that come? From I have no idea,

1232
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: but they were happy to wear that kind of stuff.

1233
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: So I think it could do well. I mean, and

1234
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: and you know my from from my experience over there

1235
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: for a couple of years that they really kind of

1236
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: enjoyed America culture. Uh, it seemed very much. I mean,

1237
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: I remember how much you know, they made David householf

1238
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: and here over there, and you couldn't get enough at

1239
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: him just list notices like that. But but I think

1240
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: I think it could give very well. And I talked

1241
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: to you know, the NFL's head head of kind of

1242
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: their their European UM push over there, and they were

1243
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: looking at the stadiums now. I mean, I think they're

1244
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: gonna that may be a bit of a stumbling block

1245
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: because there's only about I think there are only three

1246
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: stadiums in Germany right now that have more than sixty

1247
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: five thousand capacity, So that might kind of limit their

1248
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: options as to where their home bases the way Wimbley Stadium,

1249
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: UM and Tottenham are for for the for the UK

1250
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: UM course portion of the international schedule. But but I

1251
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: think I think a German the German and I proposal

1252
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: could go very well well. As we wind down to

1253
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: get closer to training camp and we're getting now the

1254
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: offseason moves with personnel, who who teams are signing, who's

1255
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 1: being traded is starting to slow to a trickle. If

1256
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: that is there one or two marquee moves that have

1257
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: happened this offseason. I've I've maintained that the first one

1258
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: of the off season with Jared Goff and Matt Stafford

1259
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: getting traded even before the you know, they agreed way

1260
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: before the deadline, was probably the first one that was

1261
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: made and that was really significant. And then this last

1262
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: one of any significance has been the Julio Jones trade. Um,

1263
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: So maybe the first and the last movements of this

1264
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: offseason are going to be the most significant. Are there

1265
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: any others or are those two two that stand out

1266
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 1: to you as well? They certainly stand out. Like like

1267
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 1: he said, Steve, I mean, I'm really curious how the

1268
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: rank look with Matt Stafford. I mean, because I think, again,

1269
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: he is one of those guys that can make a

1270
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: lot more plays outside the structure of the offense than

1271
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: probably Jared goffkan um. And to think that, you know,

1272
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure the people in Buffalo weren't weren't

1273
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,719
Speaker 1: too happy to see Julio Jones going to Tennessee because

1274
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, to try to pick your poison between a

1275
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: J Brown, Julio Jones, and Derreck Henry to defend that offense.

1276
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you would certainly think that the Titans are

1277
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: back to being probably a Final four kind kind of

1278
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: a AFC team, whether whether it's for the Bills or

1279
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs whomever. Um. But you know, I also, I

1280
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: mean it's gonna be interesting to see how Carson Wentz rebounds,

1281
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: assuming he does an indie with the Frank Riich reunion.

1282
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: Um old buddy of your Steve. But I mean, I'm

1283
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: very curious to see if Frank Raich can can refuscitate

1284
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 1: his career to what it was when they worked together

1285
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: back back in in twenty seventeen. And then, you know,

1286
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: I don't know as the Browns made a signature move,

1287
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: but I was really impressed collectively with with what Andrew

1288
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 1: Barry there their second year GM in the draft in

1289
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: free agency, Like there wasn't a wow move. Probably Jadevian

1290
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 1: Clowney was the biggest name that they signed, but um,

1291
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: John Johnson and to get to get Jeremiah will Sue

1292
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,640
Speaker 1: Cormaux in the second round. Um, you know, I just

1293
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 1: I just think collectively, they're they're turning into a really tough,

1294
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 1: well managed team. And I was so impressed with what

1295
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski was able to do their last year as

1296
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: a rookie head coach amid the pandemic m to finally

1297
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: get that team into the playoffs, to finally have them

1298
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 1: win a playoff game. Uh, and I'm excited to see

1299
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 1: what they can be. They can be this year, but

1300
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 1: I think that they're they're among the AFC's league at

1301
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, the stage is being set for this

1302
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season as we approached training camp, just

1303
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks away until that begins, and then

1304
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: we'll be in preseason games before we know it. But Nate,

1305
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: thank you for coming on with us and breaking down

1306
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:56,640
Speaker 1: how this quarterback landscape could look like this season and

1307
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: next season with the movement that we could see. We

1308
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,560
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks Nate, Thanks you asking to see you

1309
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: all right. That was Nate Davis from USA today. He's

1310
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 1: an NFL writer, and some good insight into the quarterback

1311
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 1: situation into adding some more games in different countries and

1312
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 1: just the free agency market this past off season, and

1313
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 1: how we saw Julio Jones go to a team that

1314
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: we're going to play this year, a team that's already

1315
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 1: got some really good wide receiver, really nice offense. I think, um, yeah,

1316
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,759
Speaker 1: Tennessee's gotta feel good about that trade. You know they've

1317
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: um everybody's trying to get better, and we'll you know

1318
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: that Tennessee took that. It's a big step the Browns.

1319
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I think it's he's insightful. Orlando Brown really makes them better.

1320
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: Their draft pick Cormosa, uh makes them better. Kevin Stefanski

1321
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: was Coach of the Year last year as a rookie

1322
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 1: head coach during the pandemic, got his team to the

1323
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 1: playoffs and won a playoff game and gave the Chiefs

1324
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 1: all they could handle in the divisional round. They've got

1325
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 1: a few really good at moving forward. And yeah, the

1326
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,600
Speaker 1: Browns are going to be should be in that conversation,

1327
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: no question about it. Yeah, they're gonna be a tough

1328
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: team this year, A tough team to be, a tough

1329
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: team to get by. But we're gonna take a break

1330
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,639
Speaker 1: a lot more to come here on one Bills Live,

1331
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: So stick with us. We're presented by Klyda Health and

1332
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 1: this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back into one Bills Live.

1333
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: Maddie Glabs, Steve Tasker here, and Steve, you were telling

1334
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: us about the red helmets with the standing buffalo on it,

1335
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 1: and you were like, these were ugly. We didn't have

1336
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: the picture for you MSG viewers. Yeah, we got on Twitter. Yeah,

1337
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: somebody sent it to us. Thank you all of our

1338
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 1: friends on Twitter for center this picture. Just picture Thurman.

1339
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 1: That is one bad ad looking helmet right there. It

1340
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: looks awful. White face mask, red helmet with a white

1341
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: blue in the middle, white going down the middle of

1342
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: the helmet with a white standing buffalo on the side.

1343
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: It was a horrible I think that it's just horrible.

1344
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: I think it's fine. It's not my favorite, but it works. Yeah,

1345
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: not I your favorite, definitely not. Yeah that was I

1346
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: think we lost that game too. Maybe that's the reason

1347
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't look at us. We're putting my camera, we're

1348
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: putting Thurman on blast here saying he looks bad in

1349
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: the helmet. Well, it wasn't. Thurman had nothing to do

1350
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: with it. We also had people coming in reminding us

1351
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 1: that when they change the helmets to red. There was

1352
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: a big problem because the jet helmets were green, and

1353
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: if you're color blind, red and green looked the same.

1354
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: So quarterback dropped back like Joe Ferguson, color blind drops

1355
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:51,839
Speaker 1: back to throw. He can't tell the differ between the helmets.

1356
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 1: He has to you know, he has to look at

1357
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: other visual cues. Um. Jim Kelly's was color blind though,

1358
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: so any problem? So um, yeah, Jim said. Jim had

1359
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,680
Speaker 1: trouble seeing green and red. Difference between green and red

1360
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 1: as well. Wow, it looks gray or something or brown

1361
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: to him. I can't remember what it is. I cannot

1362
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: imagine that. Yeah. Well obviously not that big, big of

1363
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 1: a problem. Yeah, pretty well. Um, we've got our mailbags.

1364
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,839
Speaker 1: We maybe get into some of our mail bag questions

1365
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: that we have from today. We've got several people have

1366
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: tweeted into us, so let's get into the obil mailbag

1367
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: on Friday. Our tweet sheet is brought to you by

1368
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,640
Speaker 1: Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

1369
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Nick t says, I'm sure we'll use a

1370
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: rotation of running backs this year, but which RB do

1371
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: you think will be on the field for our first

1372
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 1: offensive play Week one in a regular setting, I think

1373
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 1: it'll be I think Devin Singletary, That's what I'm thinking.

1374
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have a lot of

1375
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: hope for Carlos. I know Williams, Antonio Antonio but and

1376
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:15,759
Speaker 1: Christian Wade as well, But I don't know the running

1377
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: backs on the roster right now. Zach Moss, Matt Breda,

1378
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, Taiwan Jones, Antonio Williams, and Christian Wade. There's

1379
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 1: six of them. Two will be active on Game three,

1380
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: will be active on Game Day, one of which will

1381
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 1: probably be Taiwan Jones for his special tim Zack Moss,

1382
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: Matt Breeda, Devin Singletary or the incumbents. Matt Breeder being

1383
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: brought in as a free agent. Now, he's from you know,

1384
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: He's played with the Niners, played one season last year

1385
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:52,440
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins, got benched in favor of M Gaskins

1386
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: down there. So if I if I had to bet,

1387
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 1: I'd say Devin Singletary just because he's the most decorated

1388
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: player on this roster at that position. He's got the

1389
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 1: most experience, and he's the oldest guy there. Well, Matt

1390
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 1: Brida is older than him, but I mean the offense. Yeah, yeah,

1391
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 1: so the club's got more invested in him. Yeah. I

1392
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: think if you had to guess what guy was going

1393
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: to take that first snap of week one on offense

1394
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: when it comes to running back, I would say Devin

1395
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 1: Singletary too, just because he knows the offense the best.

1396
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,600
Speaker 1: Matt Breda is the veteran of that group now, but

1397
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: it might take him a little bit to get that

1398
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: offense down. Hopefully Zach Moss is healthy by week one.

1399
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: He's been working off to the side in OTAs in

1400
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 1: mini camps, so hopefully once we get into training camp,

1401
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: he'll be able to do more with the group. But yeah,

1402
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: I think it could be Devin Singletary. But this is

1403
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: this is June twenty fifth. Yeah, by August twenty five,

1404
01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: ye might think something different. So two months away, we're

1405
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: not even to the season, so we're going to be

1406
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 1: in the last preseason game or there about. So it's

1407
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, we got a long way to go, and

1408
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: we have seen no training camp practices, you know, and

1409
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: we even got a chance to watch OTAs or mini camps. Yeah,

1410
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 1: they've been going on, well, so we can watch him.

1411
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: You just guys aren't you guys are on the show, right,

1412
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: so well yeah, even if we've watched, we can't talk

1413
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, so you know, yeah right so, Um,

1414
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't know right now. It's Devin Singletary for me

1415
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: because I think he's earned their trust over the course

1416
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 1: of his first two years, and he's come back and

1417
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: he looks like a different guy. And I think that

1418
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: showing that, showing up, it's training camp like that, in

1419
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,759
Speaker 1: that kind of shape, when you've transformed yourself and obviously

1420
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,760
Speaker 1: worked extremely hard to get better. I think that's gonna

1421
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: go always towards earning some more reps. And you know,

1422
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: the more reps you get, the better you get. I think,

1423
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, i'd say Devin Singletary. Ben Curious says this

1424
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 1: is for Steve. What is the first memory that pops

1425
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:05,719
Speaker 1: up when you think about being a gunner on punt team?

1426
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: When I think about being a gunner, surprising to a

1427
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: lot of people. Probably when I think about, Okay, what

1428
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, the first thing I think about is

1429
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: lining up and thinking about my relief. I don't think

1430
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: about making tackles or running off the ball or chasing

1431
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 1: it or in I think about the guys, and you know,

1432
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: I gotta beat two guys to get off the ball.

1433
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 1: That's the first thing I think about. I don't think

1434
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: about actual plays that I made. I mean, you know,

1435
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 1: the plays that come to mind to me are not

1436
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 1: the ones that come to mind for a lot of fans.

1437
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: The one that come to mind for me is the

1438
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: first playoff game. Home playoff game in rich Stadium back

1439
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: then in high Mark was against the Houston Oilers, and

1440
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:53,760
Speaker 1: I forced a fumble with two minutes to go in

1441
01:17:53,800 --> 01:18:00,680
Speaker 1: the game to ice the game on Curtis Duncan, who

1442
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: was a former college teammate of mine. So Curtis caught it.

1443
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: I went by and I came back and forced to fumble.

1444
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: We got the ball, game was over. They had just

1445
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 1: gotten to seventeen to him. We were up seventeen to

1446
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: three Warren Moon, We got hot, started moving the football,

1447
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: they scored a touchdown, seventeen to ten. We came out.

1448
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: I had to punt it back to him, went three

1449
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:23,559
Speaker 1: and out, had to punt it back to him. It's

1450
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 1: just under two minutes to go, and I forced to

1451
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: fumble and the game was over. I remember that because

1452
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: that was one of those points you want to talk

1453
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: about atmosphere then winning a playoff game, and you know,

1454
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: that was it. That was one of them. I don't

1455
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: really remember the Vernon Turner hit too much. I kind

1456
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: of do. I remember the whole story, cause I've told

1457
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: that story, Abounch. There's a lot. There's a lot goes

1458
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 1: on in that story, So I remember that. I don't know.

1459
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: But when I think about being a gunner on punt

1460
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: team Maddie, I actually think about like lining up first

1461
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: and looking at the guys across for me and kind

1462
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:05,600
Speaker 1: of sizing them up because you never know who we

1463
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,639
Speaker 1: were going to be really, you know, And I was, Yeah,

1464
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of angst there when I think

1465
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: about it. Mark Robbins says, last year the bill struggled

1466
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: to cover tight ends. Would you put that down to

1467
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: scheme or Matt Milano's injury or another reason? Is it

1468
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: a worry for twenty twenty one? Most here's the thing,

1469
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:30,640
Speaker 1: most tight ends don't scare me. There's maybe three that

1470
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: we faced last year that do maybe four, George Kittle,

1471
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, and then the two others that that had

1472
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: good games against us were Kevin Waller for the Raiders,

1473
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, Darren Waller for the Raiders, and uh, the

1474
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 1: the guy in the in Miami. What was his name?

1475
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,680
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I can't remember. Gasick. Yeah, Gasick had a

1476
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: nice game in the first the first game against US.

1477
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,560
Speaker 1: So those four guys are the ones that to me

1478
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: gave us problems, and I can't think of any off

1479
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:07,479
Speaker 1: the top of my head other ones that did, like

1480
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: John U. Smith. We're going to see both of them

1481
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: this year twice, right, Hunter Henry, Yeah, he had some

1482
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, Hollister had had like one series against US

1483
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: where he caught some balls for the Seahawks. But you know,

1484
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna get You're gonna get tight ends who get

1485
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: loose once in a while. But I think one of

1486
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: the things is, for instance, the Kansas City, the Kansas

1487
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 1: City Championship game, one of the reasons Kelsey beat US

1488
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,320
Speaker 1: was I don't know if anybody noticed, but whenever they

1489
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: threw the ball to Tyreek Hill, if he got his

1490
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,839
Speaker 1: hands on the ball, it was it was a nightmare

1491
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: and he's gonna outrun people all over the field until

1492
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: they finally herded him out of bounds, you know, fifty

1493
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: yards out. You did not want Tyreek to get his

1494
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 1: hands on the ball. So you're all right, we're gonna

1495
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: double Tyreek and we're gonna take our chances with Kittle

1496
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 1: because Kittle may get open, but we'll at least have

1497
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 1: six or seven guys who can outrun him and tackle him.

1498
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 1: Tyreek gets his hands on the ball, all eleven guys

1499
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: it may not be able to get him. So you

1500
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: kind of pick your poison when you're playing a team

1501
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs. So like, okay, if you're gonna throw

1502
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: it to one of those two guys, we're gonna let

1503
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: you throw it to Kittle or Kelsey if he can

1504
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: get open Travis Kelsey, and we'll take our chances. And

1505
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's the Chiefs, and you're gonna you're gonna

1506
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna have some success against you. Gotta be ready

1507
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: for it. But um, there's and I know people say, hey,

1508
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 1: tight ends really killed us, and yeah they did. Um,

1509
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 1: but there's only three or four of them, which means

1510
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: three or four games where I thought it was a

1511
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: real factor. I think we give up the most tight

1512
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: end yards though last year, out of any team, So

1513
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:47,799
Speaker 1: I do think I've sent before. I think Matt Milano's

1514
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 1: injury did play into that, sure, because not every linebacker

1515
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: can drop in a coverage to cover a tight end.

1516
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: AJ Klein struggled. AJ Clent struggled to because he didn't

1517
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: have the speed that Matt does. And I'm he's more

1518
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: of your North South type linebacker. And once they figured

1519
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: that out for him, Yeah, I struggled to look back

1520
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: at last year and start throwing darts at it, like saying, hey,

1521
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:14,600
Speaker 1: we should have run the ball better, they should have

1522
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 1: played better run defense earlier in the season, or they

1523
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, our pass rush wasn't wasn't good enough, or

1524
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,720
Speaker 1: they couldn't cover tight ends or or other corner. You know,

1525
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace couldn't keep up, and neither could Josh norm

1526
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: and I have a hard time going back and doing

1527
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: that because it's a thirteen win season. You think our team,

1528
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: you think our team's got a problem. You look at

1529
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: everybody else, they've got real problems. So, yeah, we're gonna

1530
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: be a different team this year. We're gonna look different. Listen,

1531
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 1: you know you start thinking about this one, don't try

1532
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: and fix it last year's team. You could fix it

1533
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,720
Speaker 1: by doing that. Last year this team, you get you're

1534
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: gonna have other problems. This team is not going to

1535
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:55,759
Speaker 1: be perfect. This is the team you got to worry about,

1536
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 1: and you can say and you can't get there by

1537
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: taking for granted that Josh is gonna throw for forty

1538
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: seven hundred yards or forty hundred yards. You can't take

1539
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: it for granted that Steph Diggs is gonna catch you know,

1540
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 1: two hundred balls or get targeted more than anybody in

1541
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 1: the league. You can't take it for granted that, um,

1542
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 1: you know that Josh is gonna have the kind of

1543
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:16,560
Speaker 1: year he did. You know you can't take it for

1544
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 1: You can't take anything for granted. Yeah, Josh a great player,

1545
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: no question. Devin is the offensive lines back. You can't

1546
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: take to any of that for granted. You gotta try

1547
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:28,400
Speaker 1: and get that stuff better too, So you can't think

1548
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:31,679
Speaker 1: about fixing last that's last year's team. This year's team.

1549
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: You just gotta get as good as you can get

1550
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: with these guys. You can't fix last year. Last year's done.

1551
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: You gotta work on this year. Get your offensive line better,

1552
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 1: get your wide receivers better, find better ways to use them,

1553
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,600
Speaker 1: get your tight ends involved, get your running backs you know,

1554
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 1: playing better. In your offensive line playing better in front

1555
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 1: of him. You know, get some guys in here, some

1556
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: fresh legs in here on the pass rush. Don't forget

1557
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,640
Speaker 1: you got run fits, you gotta, you gotta make. But

1558
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 1: this is about next this year. You can't fix last year.

1559
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:03,680
Speaker 1: Don't go back last year and say, wow, yeah they

1560
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 1: tightens killed him last year. I don't care last year

1561
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: week won thirteen games. Let's fix this year. Let's you know,

1562
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 1: if this is the year you gotta worry about. So

1563
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm I get it. But man, oh man, this is

1564
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: going to be a different team, and whatever problems we

1565
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: had last year don't necessarily carry over, and the strengths

1566
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: we had last year don't necessarily carry over either. Yeah.

1567
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:29,679
Speaker 1: I think that's harder for at least me and maybe

1568
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: fans to understand that a team from year to year

1569
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 1: when they return so many people is different. It's going

1570
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 1: to be different. You know. You look at this proster

1571
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: this year compared to last year, and you're like, oh,

1572
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 1: I'll tell you not almost everybody back. But then you

1573
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: hear Brian day Ball speak to the media and he's like, no, yes,

1574
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 1: we do return a lot of people and there is continuity,

1575
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 1: but we do bring in enough new people to make

1576
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,600
Speaker 1: this a completely different team, and no year is going

1577
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: to be the same, even if there are the same

1578
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:02,680
Speaker 1: faces on the ross, because your competition changes year to year.

1579
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 1: That's the key thing there that you just said, the

1580
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:07,519
Speaker 1: competition changes. Here's what's going to happen. And before we

1581
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 1: go to break this one last thing, this team will

1582
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 1: even if this team was the same team as it

1583
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 1: was last year, everybody else changed. The Jets changed, Patriots changed,

1584
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins changed, and so did and they're going to

1585
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 1: have a different group of different matchups all the way

1586
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 1: across the schedule. That makes you look different because those

1587
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 1: teams need to be attacked very differently than the teams

1588
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 1: you played this year. Your offense will look different because

1589
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:36,240
Speaker 1: they're going to be attacking a different defense with different

1590
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 1: strengths and different weaknesses. That's why this team is going

1591
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: to look different, even with the same guys on it.

1592
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: And where they get better and worse, where players come

1593
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:48,679
Speaker 1: back better, where a competition makes them better, or where

1594
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: you miss a guy and you get a replacement who's different,

1595
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 1: either better or worse or just different. It's going to

1596
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: look different because the schedule is going to be different.

1597
01:25:57,880 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: All the teams you're playing. You're going to be different.

1598
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 1: All the matchups have been shuffled from team to team.

1599
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 1: It's gonna be different. It's gonna be completely different. It'll

1600
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: be good different, hopefully. Yes, that's the plan. A lot

1601
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: to look forward to. All Right, we're taking a break.

1602
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere because we'll be back in just a

1603
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:17,799
Speaker 1: few short minutes. Here on One Bills Live. We're presented

1604
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:35,679
Speaker 1: by Clyde to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. We're

1605
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 1: back here on One Bills Live. Steve Tasker and Maddie

1606
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 1: Glab coming at you. We are going through our obil

1607
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 1: mailbag Friday Funds. So tweet at us with your questions

1608
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: about this Bills team, about the NFL. Whatever you want,

1609
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 1: we'll answer it. James Renfro says, what is it that

1610
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:01,559
Speaker 1: keeps that Duke william See this is worded weird, sorry,

1611
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 1: that Duke Williams brings that they keep him but can't

1612
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:12,959
Speaker 1: crack the fifty three? What is it that Duke Williams

1613
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 1: brings that they keep him but he can't crack the

1614
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: fifty three? And it's it's pretty simple. If Duke Williams

1615
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,559
Speaker 1: is say number fifty four on the Bill's roster, not fifty.

1616
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 1: But mind you, let's just set the stage here. There

1617
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 1: are so many wide receivers off this roster right now,

1618
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 1: and they're all really good, and a lot of them.

1619
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: He'll go to other teams and have some big roles.

1620
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 1: But here's why he can't crack the fifty three. Here's

1621
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: why he's like, say he's number fifty four of the

1622
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 1: fifty three. He can't get the active roster. He's on.

1623
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 1: He's the first guy in the practice squad. Whatever. It's

1624
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: because he's better than fifty five, and he's not as

1625
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 1: good as fifty three. That's where it is. That's the

1626
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,640
Speaker 1: way it is. Duke is good enough they want to

1627
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 1: keep around. He offers them some size, some catching ability.

1628
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 1: Duke is great at catching hard to catch balls and

1629
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 1: contested balls. He's got size, he's got grit, and he's

1630
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 1: been he's got some continuity with the offense. He's been

1631
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 1: gaining momentum with the offense. They like what he brings.

1632
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 1: Has been working hard, he's and he's a veteran too.

1633
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:25,519
Speaker 1: He's been around the block in pro football, played in Canada,

1634
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 1: bounced around a little bit. So he's a guy who

1635
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 1: knows what it is to survive. So if he's not

1636
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 1: on the fifty three is because the last receiver on

1637
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 1: the fifty three is they like him better than they

1638
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 1: do Duke, and they like Duke better than the guy

1639
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 1: at fifty five or down the line. That's why he's

1640
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 1: here because they think he can play for him and

1641
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 1: in a pinch, they want him around. And when you

1642
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 1: get to those numbers, I mean, if you're not going

1643
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 1: to be a starter on this roster or a second

1644
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 1: string type of person who's coming in every game or

1645
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 1: from game to game, you have got to offer something

1646
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 1: on special teams that is so important to this coaching staff.

1647
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:07,759
Speaker 1: That's so important obviously to special teams coordinator Heath Farwell.

1648
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 1: But we've got some dudes that can can do some

1649
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 1: great stuff on special teams. Tyler Madakevic is your example,

1650
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 1: who we brought onto this roster last season that led

1651
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 1: the league in special teams tackles for two seasons. I

1652
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: want to say prior to coming to the Buffalo Bills.

1653
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 1: But if you're going to be a fringe player who

1654
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 1: makes the final roster, you're also going to be someone

1655
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 1: who has a big role on special teams, right right,

1656
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:43,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's Yeah, it's roster management and it's something

1657
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 1: that falls on the coaching staff and the head coach.

1658
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 1: The GM probably has a voice in that as well,

1659
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,439
Speaker 1: because if there's something that the head coach wishes he had,

1660
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:53,560
Speaker 1: the GM will go out and try and shop and

1661
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:55,640
Speaker 1: find it. But he's gonna have to go shopping from

1662
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:57,760
Speaker 1: other practice squads and from the free agents that are

1663
01:29:57,800 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 1: on the street, and there's not much there. I mean,

1664
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:02,800
Speaker 1: there's you know, you're if you're you're not in the league.

1665
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 1: If there's a reason for it. They know who you

1666
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:06,840
Speaker 1: are and they know what you are, or they or

1667
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,560
Speaker 1: perhaps there's too many questions that they don't know, and

1668
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:13,439
Speaker 1: it's why they bring in for a tryout. But it's

1669
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 1: roster management, and that's what a head coach does. You

1670
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,320
Speaker 1: keep the guys that you think in a pinch, you

1671
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: can stick in there and plug into a spot on

1672
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 1: the roster and they'll give you something even if it's

1673
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:27,799
Speaker 1: not Even if Duke Williams gets active for the fifty

1674
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:31,719
Speaker 1: three and doesn't get a rep at wide receiver, he'll

1675
01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 1: cover six kickoffs, five punts, and he'll be on five kickoff,

1676
01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 1: six kickoff returns and six punt returns as well, or

1677
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:44,280
Speaker 1: eight punt returns as well. So he's got to be

1678
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 1: able to do something. And I've seen we've seen Sean

1679
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,360
Speaker 1: McDermott do this as well, and he's Duke Williams has

1680
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 1: been active for a couple of games since he's been here,

1681
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 1: just like Jake Kumero last year was active from games.

1682
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 1: He was a special teams guy and he caught a

1683
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:04,519
Speaker 1: touch down in Denver. It's getting on that fifty three

1684
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:07,760
Speaker 1: is a reward for those guys for putting in a

1685
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of effort to get the number ones ready to

1686
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 1: play on Sunday. Throughout the season. They're taking reps on

1687
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:17,679
Speaker 1: practice squad, They're working hard in the offseason, the weight room,

1688
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 1: the conditioning, They're going the extra mile in meetings. They're

1689
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:24,559
Speaker 1: you know, they're just doing their job really well all

1690
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 1: the way around, on and off the field, and the

1691
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:30,160
Speaker 1: coaches notice it and they talk about it daily about

1692
01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 1: they do player evaluations all the time in the NFL,

1693
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:35,960
Speaker 1: and a coach will say, Okay, here are my guys.

1694
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:40,200
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Duke is working really hard. I

1695
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 1: got good reports from the strength conditioning guys. His body

1696
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 1: mass index has improved over the course of the last month,

1697
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:49,960
Speaker 1: he's running his routes better, he's asking great questions. He

1698
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 1: seems to be on point on his pass protection and

1699
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 1: his routes and his adjustments. I gotta tell you, the

1700
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 1: guy's really made a lot of strides in the last month.

1701
01:31:56,800 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 1: And Sean mcdermoy goes, you know what, We're gonna play

1702
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:00,840
Speaker 1: him Sunday. We're gonna bring him up and reward him

1703
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 1: for it. He's gonna cover kicks for us. And if

1704
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:04,600
Speaker 1: we get into a pinch, he's got to be the

1705
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:06,760
Speaker 1: guy in. You think he's ready or yeah, he'll be ready.

1706
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:11,519
Speaker 1: He's in. That's how it works. That's why guys down

1707
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 1: the roster on the practice squad and stuff. It's guys,

1708
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to be on a

1709
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:22,639
Speaker 1: practice squad. Listen, Yes you do, Yes, you do. That's

1710
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:26,160
Speaker 1: that is you will. You'll never get on the field

1711
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 1: working outside of football, right, You're never gonna get on

1712
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:33,600
Speaker 1: the field. You know, working in a grocery store or

1713
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 1: stacking shelves or working in a warehouse, you're not gonna

1714
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 1: get on the field. You can get on the field

1715
01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:42,599
Speaker 1: from a practice squad. You gotta stay, you do whatever

1716
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:45,840
Speaker 1: it takes. If you have to learn to punt, do it.

1717
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:47,600
Speaker 1: If you have to learn to long snap, do it.

1718
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:49,120
Speaker 1: If you have to learn certainly, if you have to

1719
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 1: learn to cover kicks. Yeah, I know. You were the

1720
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 1: number one eight star running back of your high school

1721
01:32:56,439 --> 01:32:58,760
Speaker 1: and your college and you got people asking for your

1722
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:01,000
Speaker 1: autograph and now we're asking cover kicks. And it's like,

1723
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:05,559
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'd never do it. And it's an

1724
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 1: amazing message that some athletes never get and they won't take.

1725
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 1: They don't want to hear it. If they can't carry

1726
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:15,640
Speaker 1: the ball, they don't want to play. And it's a

1727
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:20,479
Speaker 1: it's true. It's an absolute truth, and it's it's hard

1728
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:25,320
Speaker 1: to hear for some people. Wise words from the legend himself,

1729
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 1: Steve Tasks can make a pretty good Listen. I'm sitting

1730
01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 1: here today. You can make a pretty good living covering kicks.

1731
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:35,320
Speaker 1: He knows it. That's right. It's coming from experience. So

1732
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 1: there you go. Listen to the man that's your mess.

1733
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:40,040
Speaker 1: Might get off my lawn speech. All right, we're gonna

1734
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 1: get off your lawn. And we're also going to take

1735
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 1: a break here because we're we're over. Because Steve got

1736
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:49,040
Speaker 1: on his high horse talking about covering kicks. But we'll

1737
01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:52,080
Speaker 1: man a couple of minutes. Stay with us here. One

1738
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 1: Bills Live were presented by Clyde Help on Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1739
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 1: Had a Steve Tasker who has spread all all over

1740
01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 1: her fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of a

1741
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 1: dual role player. Steve Steve a blimp. We're not even

1742
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:34,599
Speaker 1: in the threaded heere of normalcy. Welcome into our number

1743
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 1: three on Friday afternoon, One Bills Live from One Bills Drive,

1744
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:42,760
Speaker 1: Anny glab and Steve Tasker bringing you the ones and

1745
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:47,760
Speaker 1: twos of all the Bills and NFL things. Here you go.

1746
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,479
Speaker 1: We had Nate Davidson from USA today at one o'clock.

1747
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 1: We've taken some calls about alternate helmets, different types of jerseys.

1748
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:01,960
Speaker 1: We've talked about some mail questions what this roster could

1749
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 1: look like. We had. We also had to remember when

1750
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:06,719
Speaker 1: I told you to think about the Armed forces helmets. Yeah,

1751
01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:09,160
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I got a tweet I got fixed

1752
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 1: by Nick Watry. He says, guy, here's the history on

1753
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 1: the navy helmets. And I mentioned that they had this

1754
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:18,519
Speaker 1: the uh, the silhouette of the ships that they were on,

1755
01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:21,600
Speaker 1: and here's why and He said the ships represented the

1756
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 1: player and the position they played. So the quarterback was

1757
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 1: the carrier, the leader of the team, um, and and

1758
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:32,040
Speaker 1: the subsequent the destroyers and the and the mine sweepers

1759
01:35:32,040 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 1: and all the stuff other stuff was um commensurate with

1760
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 1: each position group. So that kind of makes sense. So

1761
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:42,080
Speaker 1: like that, Yeah, that's kind of cool. Um. And he

1762
01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 1: also suggested to why don't they have a whole week

1763
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:46,759
Speaker 1: or a whole month week a game or a month

1764
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:50,840
Speaker 1: where they can have retro jersey, right, so you can

1765
01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:53,559
Speaker 1: see the Bills playing in the old nineties or maybe

1766
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:56,840
Speaker 1: the sixties uniforms against the cream cicle of Tampa Bay

1767
01:35:56,880 --> 01:35:59,680
Speaker 1: in week four or five. Ye I'm about it. We

1768
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 1: twelve kool aid, right, So that'd be kind of cool.

1769
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:06,919
Speaker 1: Let's go back and do that. Um. Chris Carlson tweeted

1770
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 1: at me and he said, I looked up the Denver

1771
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 1: game with the ugly helmets. It was nineteen ninety four

1772
01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 1: and we did win twenty seven to twenty boo all right,

1773
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:19,679
Speaker 1: So so maybe they were the scarred. The bad feelings

1774
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 1: I have were only because of the helmets, not because

1775
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 1: of the score. We've also been talking about what it's

1776
01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:26,640
Speaker 1: like to be a gunner in the NFL and some

1777
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:30,120
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker moments, and we've got Chris on the line,

1778
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:33,360
Speaker 1: who who maybe wants to relive a couple of Steve

1779
01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,360
Speaker 1: Taskers plays. So Chris give it to us. When you

1780
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:39,720
Speaker 1: got first? Chris, how old are you? Hey? How you doing?

1781
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 1: I am fifty one? Okay? Um? Obviously the first one

1782
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:48,720
Speaker 1: is your last, your last game, that's you know. I

1783
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:54,400
Speaker 1: got tossed my claim to fame. You don't have to

1784
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:58,759
Speaker 1: your gun and you covered Tim Brown and you shoe

1785
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 1: string tackled them. Guys both pointed at each other. I

1786
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:05,800
Speaker 1: don't remember what year it was. That was nineteen ninety three.

1787
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:08,320
Speaker 1: I think it was before we went to another super Bowl.

1788
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 1: That was a division that was the coldest game in

1789
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:13,760
Speaker 1: the in the history. I think maybe I think it was.

1790
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 1: I think it was I I may have I may

1791
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:18,200
Speaker 1: have that wrong, but I think it was. And that

1792
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 1: somebody snapped a picture of him pointed at me and

1793
01:37:22,280 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 1: me kind of like had my palms in the air

1794
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:27,640
Speaker 1: like shrugging like yeah, I had to. I tackled you U.

1795
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:30,640
Speaker 1: And that picture won an award that year for the

1796
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,760
Speaker 1: NFL Awesome. Yeah, I got a picture. I got that

1797
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:37,880
Speaker 1: in my office. Very cool. Um. And the other one

1798
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: is it was an onside kick and you caught the

1799
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:44,680
Speaker 1: ball up on high, up on your shoulder and you ran.

1800
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't think you've got a touchdown, but you got

1801
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 1: down like the least of the five. No. I got

1802
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 1: down to the one. And it wasn't an onside kick.

1803
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 1: The kicker for the Raiders was trying to hit it,

1804
01:37:57,800 --> 01:37:59,680
Speaker 1: and it was it was the cold, slippery. It was

1805
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 1: the cold this day of the It was the coldest

1806
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 1: Bills game of all time. It was like twenty five below.

1807
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 1: And his foot slipped. His plant foot didn't go down

1808
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:09,639
Speaker 1: hard and didn't go down hard. He planted really hard

1809
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:12,679
Speaker 1: and it slipped, and as a result, he knuckled the ball.

1810
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: The ball came out and he was kind of like

1811
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 1: not spinning at all, didn't tumble or anything. And I

1812
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 1: kind of shuffled over and it dropped like a knuckleball

1813
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:24,360
Speaker 1: dropped and dropped right onto my shoulder. And I was

1814
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:26,600
Speaker 1: going the other way with it before. Yeah, I was

1815
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,519
Speaker 1: going the other way with it before the Raiders guys

1816
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:31,679
Speaker 1: even knew what had happened. So I kind of busted

1817
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:35,080
Speaker 1: loose real quick and then got run down by by

1818
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:39,000

1855
01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 1: community college. Okay. His name was Scott Case. He went

1856
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:25,919
Speaker 1: on to be a Pro Bowl cornerback for the Falcons,

1857
01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:28,200
Speaker 1: and we were both in community He was at Northeast

1858
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:32,040
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State or Northeast Oklahoma Community College. I was at

1859
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:35,439
Speaker 1: Dodge City Community College. I had a little crossing route

1860
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:37,720
Speaker 1: over the middle. Late in the play, I went up

1861
01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: and got it. He caught me right underneath my shoulder

1862
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 1: when my arms were up in the air and I

1863
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:45,599
Speaker 1: flipped all the way around. Yeah, they hauled me off.

1864
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:48,800
Speaker 1: I was one. I was like, I that's one of

1865
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:50,679
Speaker 1: those times when they hauled me off. I was like, colleague,

1866
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:52,640
Speaker 1: come on and I go get off. They're taking me,

1867
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's an old time. They're hauling me off

1868
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:58,840
Speaker 1: on a stretcher to the to the ambulance. There's my

1870
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 1: about it. Just I'll be fine. But I was, you know,

1871
01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:08,640
Speaker 1: I was coughing up some blood because he cracked me.

1872
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:10,800
Speaker 1: He bruised my lung. He didn't break my ribs, but

1873
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:12,559
Speaker 1: he bruised my lung. So they were really worried about

1874
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:14,240
Speaker 1: me getting ammonia in the days that followed, so I

1875
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 1: had to take an antibiotics for that. I was in

1876
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 1: the hospital overnight. Geez was like, your injury, no, not

1877
01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 1: even that's not even in the top ten. But I

1878
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:28,160
Speaker 1: but for that, I'll tell you this. So um the

1879
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:32,360
Speaker 1: next time I saw Scott Case, we were both playing

1880
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:35,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He went to the University of Oklahoma

1881
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:39,400
Speaker 1: and I went to Northwestern didn't And then like then

1882
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:43,799
Speaker 1: into our NFL careers, like five years into our NFL careers,

1883
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:46,920
Speaker 1: we crossed pass again, and I've went up to h

1884
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:48,600
Speaker 1: and said, hey, bro, do you know what you do

1885
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:51,240
Speaker 1: you remember? Do you remember when you were playing back

1886
01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:54,000
Speaker 1: in Northeast Oklahoma? And his eyes kind of glazed over. Hecause,

1887
01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 1: what what? Yeah, because we're you know, we're in Atlanta. Yeah.

1888
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: He goes yeah, And I said, you remember, I don't

1889
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 1: really remember kid memory and he spun around and he

1890
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 1: was coughing up blood and he goes he looked at

1891
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:08,560

1894
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 1: after that we struck up a you know, casual friendship

1895
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 1: after that, but it was hilarious. That's the next time

1896
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:24,960
Speaker 1: I saw him, and it was nice because I didn't

1897
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 1: get lit up by just some guy going to Dodge

1898
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:32,559
Speaker 1: City Community College. I think about Okay, I'm a big

1899
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:35,760
Speaker 1: Last Chance You fan, right. I'm sure people who are

1900
01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: listening to the show right now also of Last Chance

1901
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: You because it's such a great show. And some of

1902
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 1: the community colleges are just such big feeders into these

1903
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:48,639
Speaker 1: huge D one schools. Was it the same case when

1904
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:50,920
Speaker 1: you were at community college, Like, we're a lot of

1905
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 1: your teammates going into D one schools or schools scoured

1906
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 1: through there. I went to Northwestern to the big game

1907
01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:04,360
Speaker 1: from there, and when I was like, Tom Osborne made

1908
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 1: a trip through Dodge and was just talking to kids

1909
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:10,840
Speaker 1: and stuff, and it was big back then Nebraska. If

1910
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 1: the kid didn't have a scholarship or whatever, he could

1911
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:16,519
Speaker 1: invite them to Nebraska to walk on, you know, just

1912
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 1: come up and try and try out for us. Because

1913
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 1: they'd have literally two hundred guys come out for their

1914
01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 1: football team in Nebraska with Tom Osborne and they heard

1915
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,400
Speaker 1: come on up, you know, and he and the thing

1916
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:35,280
Speaker 1: was that the walk ons got treated like scholarship athletes.

1917
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 1: They got treated really really well, and it was something

1918
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:41,080
Speaker 1: that really helped his program over the years. Certainly, guys

1919
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 1: like you know, Johnny Rodgers and Mike Rozier helped his

1920
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 1: program over years too. But you know, they treated the

1921
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 1: walk Ons like like scholarship athletes, and it was something

1922
01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 1: that people knew in that region. So did you have

1923
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 1: any different options besides Northwestern? Could your future have gone

1924
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:01,519
Speaker 1: a different way out of I told I told the

1925
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:04,320
Speaker 1: story about I got a recruiting trip to the University

1926
01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:07,200
Speaker 1: of Northern Iowa. Okay, they sent me to a Rolling

1927
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 1: Stones concert, and then I went to West University of

1928
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,200
Speaker 1: Western University, Western Kentucky Universe. Look to go there, right?

1929
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 1: And now where is that? What town is Bowling Green, Green, Kentucky?

1930
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:22,959
Speaker 1: And then uh, I had already committed and told Northwestern

1931
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:24,760
Speaker 1: I was coming. I was going to go there, and

1932
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:27,800
Speaker 1: late in the conversation I got a call from Cal.

1933
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 1: Oh that would have been cool. I got a call

1934
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 1: from cal and I said, you know what, guys, you're

01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 1: too late. I'm already. I'm already. I'm done with that thing.

1936
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 1: Now I don't want to So they said, okay, sorry.

1937
01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 1: You know, so Northwestern is a pretty awesome to school

1938
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:44,680
Speaker 1: to have gone to. You probably in a break. I

1939
01:44:44,720 --> 01:44:46,840
Speaker 1: got a chance to play never gotten in there. I

1940
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:48,320
Speaker 1: had no chance of getting in there if I didn't

1941
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 1: play football. Dennis Green was the head coach. Ron Turner

1942

Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator. Had had some nice, nice staff

1943
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 1: and I learned a lot from Dennis. He ran a

01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:01,759
Speaker 1: really nice program when I was there. That's really awesome.

1945

Speaker 1: We're gonna go to Matt from Buffalo. Matt, you've got

1947
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 1: a question about one of the position groups and how

Speaker 1: And Fa is a little further along than Christian is.

1959
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 1: He came here before Christian did buy three or four

1960
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 1: years maybe and uh and has made his way and

1961
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:00,040
Speaker 1: they're very friendly. And you know, there was pick she

1962
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 1: was taking. That's the last time we've seen Christian. Um, yeah,

1963
01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:07,920
Speaker 1: but he's still taking reps that first play, man, I

1964
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:11,080
Speaker 1: mean that was first two plays, first two plays. He

1965
01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 1: had two great plays in that preseason two years ago,

1966
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: and then you know, we haven't had a chance to

1967
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 1: see him that much. I think, more than anything else,

1968
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:20,960
Speaker 1: players like Christian were really hurt by last year's offseason

1969
01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:24,640
Speaker 1: because he needs reps, reps, reps, reps, and there was

1970
01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:26,720
Speaker 1: just none to be had last offseason. I think that

1971
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:29,960
Speaker 1: kind of I think that kind of you know, hindered

1972
01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:32,479
Speaker 1: his progress a little bit. But maybe he may be

1973
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:35,920
Speaker 1: progressing very well now. We don't know. He's a great

1974
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 1: personality and he seems like a fit, you know. I agree,

1975
01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 1: I agree, Mat, And I think there's a lot of

1976
01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 1: people pulling for him. Um, he's a tremendous guys and

1977
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:49,639
Speaker 1: every interview you do with him and everything. He even

1978
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:52,479
Speaker 1: does some stuff for the website. Yeah, Um, what was

1979
01:46:52,520 --> 01:46:55,000
Speaker 1: the what's the thing he does? He did Coffee with

1980
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,920
Speaker 1: the Bill Coffee with the Bills, and he he interviews

1981
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:01,120
Speaker 1: guys and stuff and he gives them the UK term

1982
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:03,160
Speaker 1: for something and it tries to get them to translate

1983
01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:04,800
Speaker 1: it if they can a lot of fun. So he's

1984
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:07,840
Speaker 1: a great guy. He's really fitting well. I think he's

1985
01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:10,720
Speaker 1: a great teammate and I think to this point it's

1986
01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:13,880
Speaker 1: been a real positive experience for him. But let's face it,

1987
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 1: he wants to get on the field just like everybody

1988
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:19,160
Speaker 1: would kind of like to see him try, right, Well,

1989
01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:21,680
Speaker 1: I wish him the best, as do we. All Right,

1990
01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:24,519
Speaker 1: thanks for the call of Matt. Yeah, I mean we

1991
01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:26,640
Speaker 1: had Christian way to I was like, I spoke to

1992
01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:28,720
Speaker 1: him recently. Where did I speak to him? We had

1993
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 1: him on the podcast with Zach Moss, and you know,

1994
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:35,840
Speaker 1: he said the same thing that you did this past

1995
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:38,719
Speaker 1: offseason did not help him or some of those practice

1996
01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:43,200
Speaker 1: squad players who those preseason games matters so much. That's

1997
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 1: how you can make a roster is from your performance

1998
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:48,720
Speaker 1: in those preseason games. But he did say that he

1999
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:51,800
Speaker 1: thinks he has and you would expect him to say

2000
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:55,519
Speaker 1: this now, but a better grasp of the offense by

2001
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:57,439
Speaker 1: being able to be on the team for a couple

2002
01:47:57,479 --> 01:48:00,520
Speaker 1: of seasons now, and is looking forward to the opportunity

2003
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 1: that he gets in training camp. But it's it's really

2004
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:05,680
Speaker 1: hard to tell in OTAs in mini camp because everybody's

2005
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, sharing the football when it comes to OTAs

2006
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:10,559
Speaker 1: in mini camp, and you know, the coaches say over

2007
01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 1: and over again, we are not playing real football right now.

2008
01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 1: We're installing a couple of things, we're walking through things.

2009
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 1: It's not at the pace we want to be at.

2010
01:48:19,520 --> 01:48:23,160
Speaker 1: So training camp will be a telling time for some

2011
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:26,960
Speaker 1: of those players. And continuing the conversation about running backs

2012
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:30,120
Speaker 1: in our mail bag, swice as Nice says, does Brita

2013
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:33,400
Speaker 1: even make this roster? If so, what sort of role

2014
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:36,280
Speaker 1: will he have? Could see Williams making a push for

2015
01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 1: RB three in preseason games. It'd be great to get

2016
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 1: some bursts from Brita to compliment Moss and motor, But

2017
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:45,479
Speaker 1: I wonder about his durability and if he still has

2018
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:50,120
Speaker 1: the breakaway speed. Matt Brita was a running back who

2019
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:55,320
Speaker 1: did not start on the Miami Dolphins this past season.

2020
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, they had all those young running backs.

2021
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:02,479
Speaker 1: They had a stayble running backs on the Miami Dolphins

2022
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 1: last season, and he didn't get as many carries as

2023
01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:10,760
Speaker 1: as the younger guys did. And kind of he went

2024
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins and I was thinking, Wow, this could

2025
01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:17,559
Speaker 1: be a nightmare running back situation, and he never kind

2026
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 1: of floated to the surface of of being that RB

2027
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:22,880
Speaker 1: one type guy. He played a couple of snaps or

2028
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:25,760
Speaker 1: a handful of snaps or more against the Bills when

2029
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:28,160
Speaker 1: the Bills played down there, he got in almost scored

2030
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 1: on a on a red zone run. But you know,

2031
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin is the guy that I believe that's the

2032
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 1: guy that's down there now that and for those of

2033
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 1: us who are kind of watching the AFC East stuff

2034
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:44,120
Speaker 1: that goes on down in Miami, you kind of get

2035
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:47,160
Speaker 1: the feeling that Brian Flores once in a while makes

2036
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:53,360
Speaker 1: a decision and it's almost an exaggeratedly carried out decision. Listen,

2037
01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:56,160
Speaker 1: Gaskins are guy. We're going with him, and no matter

2038
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,000
Speaker 1: what he was in the field on the field, no

2039
01:49:58,080 --> 01:49:59,800
Speaker 1: matter what it meant to the other running backs, they

2040
01:49:59,840 --> 01:50:04,000
Speaker 1: all same thing with when he made that makes the

2041
01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 1: decision to get rid of five of the eight captains

2042
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 1: that they had, and when it makes the decision, you know,

2043
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:11,960
Speaker 1: to bench Ryan Fitzpatrick in the right after a three

2044
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:15,600
Speaker 1: game winning streak at quarterback. He does stuff like that,

2045
01:50:15,920 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 1: and so it's easy to see, well, Miles Gatskin didn't

2046
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 1: play last year. What I think that has a lot

2047
01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:23,560
Speaker 1: to do with Brian Flores more than it does with

2048
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 1: Matt Brida. At least you can make that assumption. Certainly

2049
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:28,960
Speaker 1: it may not hold water, and then maybe things that

2050
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 1: we don't know about were I mean, we're a thousand

2051
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:33,800
Speaker 1: miles away from it, but there's been a number of

2052
01:50:33,880 --> 01:50:36,720
Speaker 1: decisions that you get the feeling that you can see

2053
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:38,680
Speaker 1: somebody down there making the decisions like, Hey, this is

2054
01:50:38,720 --> 01:50:41,000
Speaker 1: the way we're gonna do it. Period. This guy's playing

2055
01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:43,320
Speaker 1: nobody else. You know that the quarterback here, we're gonna

2056
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:45,160
Speaker 1: make the quarterback change here, and we're gonna run with

2057
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:50,400
Speaker 1: it and let's go. So the organization this current moment,

2058
01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't think you can. I don't think that necessarily

2059
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:57,640
Speaker 1: casts a bad light on the guy's ability or his

2060
01:50:57,760 --> 01:51:00,479
Speaker 1: production or what is what he can bring to the table.

2061
01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:02,400
Speaker 1: I think he just got caught in the middle of

2062
01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:04,800
Speaker 1: one of those decisions that that team decided it was

2063
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: going to make. And there you have it. Played in

2064
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:10,960
Speaker 1: twelve games last year, started in one, he racked up

2065
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:14,040
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty four rushing yards average four point

2066
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:16,720
Speaker 1: three yards per rush, didn't have a touchdown. But then

2067
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 1: you look at twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. Those were

2068
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:22,360
Speaker 1: his really two productive seasons with the forty nine ers,

2069
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:27,519
Speaker 1: Especially twenty eighteen. He started in thirteen games, played in fourteen,

2070
01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:31,640
Speaker 1: had eight and fourteen rushing yards, average five point three

2071
01:51:31,720 --> 01:51:35,080
Speaker 1: yards per rush, scored three touchdowns. The following season it

2072
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:38,120
Speaker 1: was just over six hundred rushing yards. He still had

2073
01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:41,240
Speaker 1: that nice yards per rush number five point one, which

2074
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:43,559
Speaker 1: is what you want to see out of running back,

2075
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:47,479
Speaker 1: if you could get into the five number to be

2076
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 1: able to average that much when you carry the ball.

2077
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 1: And I remember during the forty nine ers when they

2078
01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:57,800
Speaker 1: made it to the Super Bowl, it was like, who

2079
01:51:57,960 --> 01:52:00,800
Speaker 1: is this running back? Matt Brita, Where did he come from?

2080
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:04,560
Speaker 1: Where did he get who was he drafted by? What

2081
01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:07,680
Speaker 1: round was he? And you know, he made a name

2082
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 1: for himself and played at Georgia Southern, has been in

2083
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:13,559
Speaker 1: the NFL. Now this is going to be his fifth season.

2084
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can emerge as the same

2085
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 1: running back he was with the forty nine ers, but

2086
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:23,640
Speaker 1: I definitely think he can do some of that. I

2087
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: don't think it'll be another, you know, two hundred rushing

2088
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:29,760
Speaker 1: yard season for him. I would hopefully expect more with

2089
01:52:29,840 --> 01:52:32,519
Speaker 1: him being on this roster and the fact that we're

2090
01:52:32,600 --> 01:52:35,360
Speaker 1: not an RB one type of team and we weren't

2091
01:52:35,439 --> 01:52:38,639
Speaker 1: that last year and from Brian day Ball and Sean McDermott,

2092
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:41,080
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like we're going to be like that this year.

2093
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,479
Speaker 1: How much do we run the ball? That's a that's

2094
01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:46,880
Speaker 1: a good question because it could be similar to this

2095
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:50,360
Speaker 1: past year if we're having so much success in the air.

2096
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:53,479
Speaker 1: And that's something that Brian Daball talked about and we

2097
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 1: spoke with him at OTA's. I think Vic asked the

2098
01:52:57,439 --> 01:53:01,439
Speaker 1: question Vic Crucci and he was like, what about the balance,

2099
01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:04,760
Speaker 1: Like you always talk about balance, or you know, people

2100
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:07,040
Speaker 1: in the media talk about the balance between the passing

2101
01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:09,760
Speaker 1: game and the running game. Does there need to be

2102
01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:14,280
Speaker 1: a balance? And Brian Dabele's answer was balance is only

2103
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 1: good if balance is what makes you win a game, Right,

2104
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:21,559
Speaker 1: If throwing the ball fifty times makes you win a game,

2105
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:23,840
Speaker 1: or fronting the ball fifty times makes you win a game,

2106
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:26,240
Speaker 1: that's where what we're gonna do. We don't need to

2107
01:53:26,320 --> 01:53:29,800
Speaker 1: have balance because balance only works when it ends in

2108
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:33,120
Speaker 1: at w and that's you can't can't We're going to

2109
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:35,800
Speaker 1: do fifty fifty and whatever happens happens. It doesn't matter

2110
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:37,840
Speaker 1: if we're going to win a game, but we want

2111
01:53:37,880 --> 01:53:40,760
Speaker 1: to keep our offense balance. No, it doesn't work like that,

2112
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:43,759
Speaker 1: And they didn't last year. Sixty forty run to pass

2113
01:53:44,560 --> 01:53:48,080
Speaker 1: and and they ran more four wide than they did

2114
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:51,599
Speaker 1: anything else or any other team. Three wide is their

2115
01:53:51,640 --> 01:53:55,880
Speaker 1: base offense now. Five dbs on the field is what

2116
01:53:56,160 --> 01:53:59,040
Speaker 1: a base defense looks like in the National Football League now.

2117
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 1: And I think when you're talking about running back one

2118
01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:06,640
Speaker 1: with Matt Breda, Devin Singletary, Zach Moss, it might be

2119
01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, running back one, running back two, running back three,

2120
01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:11,320
Speaker 1: and you can throw them in a hat and see

2121
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:13,599
Speaker 1: what you want to do. The problem is this week.

2122
01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:18,680
Speaker 1: The problem is that's an extra roster spot that you

2123
01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:20,680
Speaker 1: might not want to use up on a game day

2124
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:24,960
Speaker 1: because if you have a unless Matt Breeda like returns kicks,

2125
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 1: and then you've got Taiwan Jones who's covering kicks, And

2126
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:32,320
Speaker 1: if Matt Breeda gives you as many snaps on special

2127
01:54:32,360 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 1: teams or as many quality snaps on special teams, then

2128
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:37,280
Speaker 1: it could be Matt Breeda Taiwan Jones up and down

2129
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:40,200
Speaker 1: and then you'd have three running backs who can play

2130
01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:42,840
Speaker 1: running back on the roster instead of two running backs.

2131
01:54:42,880 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: They play running back, and then Taiwan who can really

2132
01:54:45,640 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 1: cover kicks with a like a hardcore special teams guy.

2133
01:54:49,320 --> 01:54:52,400
Speaker 1: That kind of thing happens because Zach Moss and Devin

2134
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,800
Speaker 1: Singletary won't return kicks, are not fast enough to do it.

2135
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:57,600
Speaker 1: Breeda is So if he's got that skill set to

2136
01:54:57,680 --> 01:54:59,879
Speaker 1: throw out there, then they could put him back to kickoffs.

2137
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:05,800
Speaker 1: They could put Isaiah McKenzie or any Marquez Stevenson. They

2138
01:55:05,840 --> 01:55:08,520
Speaker 1: could put those guys to return to punts and go

2139
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 1: from there. Um. So that that's when you're starting to

2140
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:14,000
Speaker 1: talk about skill sets and how it's going to formulate

2141
01:55:14,040 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 1: the roster on game day. If you want three running

2142
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:18,640
Speaker 1: backs active on game day, one of them is probably

2143
01:55:18,720 --> 01:55:22,520
Speaker 1: gonna be Taiwan Jones, Yeah, which means you're not going

2144
01:55:22,560 --> 01:55:26,440
Speaker 1: to see him on offense. Well, then what you know,

2145
01:55:26,520 --> 01:55:28,240
Speaker 1: then you got two guys that go. So you got

2146
01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:31,680
Speaker 1: Devon and Zach and Matt Breeda. If he's not you know,

2147
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:33,760
Speaker 1: if he's not the special teams guy, you could shift

2148
01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:35,440
Speaker 1: week to week. We kind of saw that with the

2149
01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:40,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver group. People being up people being down, that's yeah,

2150
01:55:40,720 --> 01:55:42,400
Speaker 1: and then you know, none of those guys will be

2151
01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:48,080
Speaker 1: completely happy with that, not that it's about them. Yeah,

2152
01:55:48,320 --> 01:55:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's kind of the way it is

2153
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:54,400
Speaker 1: in the league. And that'll be interesting. Um, yeah, it'll

2154
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:56,640
Speaker 1: be interesting. And that doesn't mean that even that Breeda

2155
01:55:56,640 --> 01:55:58,760
Speaker 1: won't be out and Christian Wade won't be in or

2156
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:01,600
Speaker 1: or you know, and Tonio Williams won't be in. So

2157
01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 1: break time here for us, but we'll be back in

2158
01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:09,000
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Thirty minutes left here on this

2159
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:12,400
Speaker 1: Friday edition of One Bills Live. We're presented by Clyde

2160
01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:33,920
Speaker 1: Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. We're back here on One

2161
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:36,960
Speaker 1: Bills Live, Matti Glab and Steve Tasker. We've had a

2162
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:39,160
Speaker 1: couple of people waiting on the phone lines to talk

2163
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:45,640
Speaker 1: about alternate helmets, alternate jerseys, the colors. So we're gonna

2164
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:49,720
Speaker 1: start off and go to Kevin from Hamburg. Kevin, you're

2165
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:53,680
Speaker 1: on with us. Thanks for waiting for so long. Get beat, Kevin,

2166
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:56,400
Speaker 1: go ahead. I've always wondered, does that sound like a

2167
01:56:56,480 --> 01:57:00,320
Speaker 1: dumb question. I'm sure you've heard before. You everyone why

2168
01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:04,000
Speaker 1: they met Buffalo, Red, White and blue, and some teams

2169
01:57:04,040 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals that makes senses red or a dolphin

2170
01:57:07,080 --> 01:57:09,880
Speaker 1: is aqua, or the Niners or Goal because of the

2171
01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:13,720
Speaker 1: gold Rush, and never not make buffalo an actual color

2172
01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:17,400
Speaker 1: of the animal Buffalo. I've always wondered, ever wondered why

2173
01:57:17,480 --> 01:57:19,400
Speaker 1: and they did that, Like, I don't know. I don't

2174
01:57:19,440 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 1: know that the ins and outs of it. I know

2175
01:57:21,600 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 1: one of the there's a lot that goes into it,

2176
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 1: no question. I don't know why red, white, and blue

2177
01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:30,840
Speaker 1: was chosen, I imagine and not. I don't know for sure.

2178
01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure Ralph Wilson had a lot to say about it.

2179
01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:38,080
Speaker 1: It was his team, and it was nineteen sixty or

2180
01:57:38,200 --> 01:57:40,680
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty nine when they got when they got awarded

2181
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:44,560
Speaker 1: the franchise. I'm sure back then it was a different world.

2182
01:57:44,640 --> 01:57:47,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I'm sure Ralph had his reasons

2183
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 1: for doing it and had to sign off on everything

2184
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:53,320
Speaker 1: that was decided, and whether he delegated that or whether

2185
01:57:53,360 --> 01:57:55,000
Speaker 1: he put it out there as a fan entry, maybe

2186
01:57:55,040 --> 01:57:57,000
Speaker 1: somebody from the old rock Pile days. All right, here

2187
01:57:57,040 --> 01:57:59,680
Speaker 1: you go, I'm reading I'm reading Wikipedia. I keep forgetting

2188
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:01,440
Speaker 1: you can just look this up. This could be very

2189
01:58:01,480 --> 01:58:05,040
Speaker 1: wrong because it's Wikipedia, but I feel like Wikipedia now

2190
01:58:05,080 --> 01:58:08,440
Speaker 1: it is. You can give it a case. So it

2191
01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 1: says for the first two seasons, the Bills were uniforms

2192
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:14,400
Speaker 1: based on those of the Detroit Lions at the time.

2193
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:17,640
Speaker 1: Ralph Wilson had been a minority owner of the Lions

2194
01:58:17,760 --> 01:58:21,880
Speaker 1: before founding the Bills. That's correct, So he could have

2195
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 1: liked the colors that the Detroit Lions had. So you

2196
01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:28,200
Speaker 1: start with that, and maybe you add red into the

2197
01:58:28,320 --> 01:58:32,480
Speaker 1: scenario to make it a little bit different. Yeah, red

2198
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:36,879
Speaker 1: and blue. It's a different blue than flags. Good together. Interesting.

2199
01:58:37,080 --> 01:58:39,640
Speaker 1: I knew that they had a little bit of gray

2200
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:45,360
Speaker 1: in their jerseys from the team's original colors were Honolulu blue, silver,

2201
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:48,080
Speaker 1: and white, and the helmets were silver with no striping.

2202
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:50,880
Speaker 1: There was no logo on the helmet, which displayed the

2203
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:54,280
Speaker 1: players's numbers on each side. There you go. That's nineteen

2204
01:58:54,440 --> 01:58:56,560
Speaker 1: fifty nine when they got Yeah, okay, so there you go,

2205
01:58:56,720 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 1: and then it went from there. I wonder when they

2206
01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:01,080
Speaker 1: changed the colors. When the merge I guess in nineteen

2207
01:59:01,160 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 1: sixty two, the standing red Bison was designated as the

2208
01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 1: logo and took its place on the white helmet. Right.

2209
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:12,200
Speaker 1: There you go. Sorry, we don't have a better answer where,

2210
01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 1: but there you go. And it has changed over the years,

2211
01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 1: and people remember the two thousand, the first decade of

2212
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:25,600
Speaker 1: the century where they had the blue the red jersey

2213
01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:29,080
Speaker 1: with the blue or the blue jersey with the red

2214
01:59:29,160 --> 01:59:31,320
Speaker 1: yokes or whatever, the blue with the blue or yoke

2215
01:59:32,240 --> 01:59:34,600
Speaker 1: the shoulder pads on it, you know, and the different

2216
01:59:35,280 --> 01:59:37,640
Speaker 1: multi colored with the white piping around it. Yeah, there

2217
01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:40,760
Speaker 1: was a lot of that. Um, a lot of teams

2218
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:44,160
Speaker 1: did that, you know, to it's spurred sales, jersey sales

2219
01:59:44,200 --> 01:59:45,600
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. And it was kind of

2220
01:59:45,640 --> 01:59:48,200
Speaker 1: an era. And then they went back and people welcomed

2221
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:53,839
Speaker 1: the return to the old this new style of jersey.

2222
01:59:54,760 --> 01:59:57,080
Speaker 1: It's a lot to go on. I mean, they're gonna

2223
01:59:57,200 --> 01:59:59,720
Speaker 1: use all they really did. The NFL allowed teams to

2224
01:59:59,800 --> 02:00:04,360
Speaker 1: use alternate color helmets. That's once again starting in twenty

2225
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:06,960
Speaker 1: twenty two, says not this year, but next year, so

2226
02:00:07,240 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 1: you may see a return of the buffalo bill's red

2227
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:12,560
Speaker 1: helmets or or the standing buffalo or the charging buffalo,

2228
02:00:12,680 --> 02:00:14,200
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I'd be a big fan of that.

2229
02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:16,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in, Kevin. We appreciate you hanging on

2230
02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:21,200
Speaker 1: for so long. Let's go to Izzy from North Carolina. Izzy,

2231
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:23,960
Speaker 1: is there a helmet or a jersey that you prepare

2232
02:00:24,200 --> 02:00:27,560
Speaker 1: you prefer for these Buffalo Bills? Hello? Yeah, go ahead?

2233
02:00:27,640 --> 02:00:32,600
Speaker 1: Is he? Yeah? Hello? Yep? You're on with us? Yeah?

2234
02:00:33,320 --> 02:00:36,960
Speaker 1: I would like to see the Bills in their white shirt,

2235
02:00:37,280 --> 02:00:41,280
Speaker 1: blue van and then the white helmet with the standing

2236
02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:47,760
Speaker 1: buffalo for the first playoff game. White helmets, standing buffalo. Yeah, okay,

2237
02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:52,840
Speaker 1: why for the first playoff game? All right? Because that

2238
02:00:52,920 --> 02:00:57,600
Speaker 1: will bring back the nostalgia? All right, Steve, though, I

2239
02:00:57,680 --> 02:01:03,080
Speaker 1: gotta ta when you we had no Oh, the guy

2240
02:01:03,200 --> 02:01:08,560
Speaker 1: that we got from Oakland? Oh? I forgot James Lofton?

2241
02:01:13,320 --> 02:01:17,760
Speaker 1: Is he? Is he? He forgot? Who? The guy who?

2242
02:01:18,040 --> 02:01:20,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in? Say something? Yeah? Is he? Is?

2243
02:01:20,520 --> 02:01:23,280
Speaker 1: He bailed out on us? Too bad? Yeah? When he?

2244
02:01:23,360 --> 02:01:24,880
Speaker 1: When he? When? I when he brought the guy in

2245
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:26,880
Speaker 1: from Oakland? The only thing I can think of was

2246
02:01:26,960 --> 02:01:28,920
Speaker 1: James Lofton when he signed in nineteen eighty nine. I

2247
02:01:28,920 --> 02:01:30,680
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't remember. He had something he was

2248
02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:32,120
Speaker 1: gonna say, and I don't know what it is now?

2249
02:01:32,440 --> 02:01:35,960
Speaker 1: Too bad? Uh? Someone tweeted at me and said blue

2250
02:01:36,240 --> 02:01:40,280
Speaker 1: was added to the silver to represent Buffalo's blue collar culture.

2251
02:01:40,320 --> 02:01:44,440
Speaker 1: According to NFL dot Com, DeMar Nolo tweeted that at me,

2252
02:01:44,840 --> 02:01:50,240
Speaker 1: that makes sense, Okay, believe it. Yeah someone else uh.

2253
02:01:51,480 --> 02:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Pete tweeted at us and said it's because Buffalo was

2254
02:01:54,080 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 1: nicknamed an All American city. Yeah, they're okay, there's another theory.

2255
02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:04,240
Speaker 1: See the blue collar like anybody else, gotta get answer,

2256
02:02:04,440 --> 02:02:07,720
Speaker 1: tweet at us. Well, yeah, we've got a note. We've

2257
02:02:07,720 --> 02:02:11,440
Speaker 1: got another collar. Bobby from Lancaster, you're on with us.

2258
02:02:11,640 --> 02:02:14,800
Speaker 1: Is there a jersey or a helmet that you prefer

2259
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:18,200
Speaker 1: for the bills? Yeah? Hey, Maddie Stevo, how are you

2260
02:02:18,280 --> 02:02:20,920
Speaker 1: guys doing today? He had a thing going back. I

2261
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:23,160
Speaker 1: got one thing for each of the one question comment

2262
02:02:23,240 --> 02:02:25,200
Speaker 1: for each you guys. I'm gonna start with you, Maddie.

2263
02:02:25,480 --> 02:02:28,560
Speaker 1: With the uniforms here, you are correct. It was more

2264
02:02:28,640 --> 02:02:31,720
Speaker 1: like a Dallas Sober though with the blue and this

2265
02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:34,320
Speaker 1: is what I think would look great, the blue pants,

2266
02:02:34,480 --> 02:02:37,920
Speaker 1: white jersey, white helmet to a charging buffalo, but with

2267
02:02:38,080 --> 02:02:40,760
Speaker 1: a blue face mask. And then you put a little

2268
02:02:40,760 --> 02:02:42,600
Speaker 1: bit as of a silver in the helmet or something

2269
02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:45,520
Speaker 1: from the old school, because you are corrected, was Detroit.

2270
02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a Dallas silver and blue. It

2271
02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:49,680
Speaker 1: was more like that in the first couple of years.

2272
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:52,760
Speaker 1: But I like the blue pants with a blue face mask.

2273
02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:55,400
Speaker 1: I think that would be sharp as hell. Um. One

2274
02:02:55,680 --> 02:02:58,960
Speaker 1: more thing for Stevo is I'm not sure if you're

2275
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:02,000
Speaker 1: heard in the last there too, but um, Bobby's dreams

2276
02:03:02,040 --> 02:03:05,480
Speaker 1: fruition is coming true here. DeCastro got let go by

2277
02:03:05,640 --> 02:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh there needed offensive lineman. My sources tell me we

2278
02:03:11,160 --> 02:03:13,160
Speaker 1: might be looking at Cody Ford doing there in the

2279
02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:17,760
Speaker 1: second round pick for my big ugly ironhead Haywards kid, STEVEO,

2280
02:03:17,840 --> 02:03:19,320
Speaker 1: what do you think about that? I'll hang up to

2281
02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:21,760
Speaker 1: listen to both of us with the comments. That's a yeah.

2282
02:03:21,800 --> 02:03:25,560
Speaker 1: It's interesting because we've said the Bills have a bit.

2283
02:03:25,720 --> 02:03:32,160
Speaker 1: I think a deep, well populated stable of offensive lineman

2284
02:03:32,520 --> 02:03:35,600
Speaker 1: guys with some chops in the National Football League, some guys,

2285
02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:40,440
Speaker 1: some draft picks with some real gifts. I think they're

2286
02:03:40,560 --> 02:03:44,600
Speaker 1: loaded with offensive linemen and to look around the league,

2287
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:48,160
Speaker 1: and you're right, they did just the Steelers did. Just

2288
02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:52,280
Speaker 1: released de Castro, who played extremely well for them over

2289
02:03:52,360 --> 02:03:57,040
Speaker 1: the years, and they've maybe have some stuff we want,

2290
02:03:58,360 --> 02:04:01,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, deal could be made. Cody Ford's a really

2291
02:04:01,120 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 1: high draft pick. I don't know if Hayward was Cam Hayward,

2292
02:04:06,280 --> 02:04:13,680
Speaker 1: but either way, it's intriguing. And you can bet that

2293
02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:15,880
Speaker 1: when teams look around and look at the offensive line

2294
02:04:15,960 --> 02:04:17,640
Speaker 1: roster of the Buffalo Bills and look at the guys

2295
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:20,440
Speaker 1: on film, there's some guys that they're looking at the saying,

2296
02:04:20,480 --> 02:04:22,440
Speaker 1: you know what, that guy, how about it? You know,

2297
02:04:22,520 --> 02:04:24,840
Speaker 1: how about letting us have him. We'll give you this

2298
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:29,880
Speaker 1: and this, no question about it. It's a possibility. It's

2299
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:32,280
Speaker 1: a possibility. I'm not saying Cody Ford's gonna get traded

2300
02:04:32,360 --> 02:04:34,840
Speaker 1: or anything like that, or but you know, if that's

2301
02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:36,800
Speaker 1: out there, the Bills have got plenty of those guys

2302
02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:39,720
Speaker 1: to trade. I don't know that they'd let Cody Ford walk,

2303
02:04:40,360 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 1: but they got a couple other guys that are really good. Yeah,

2304
02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:45,360
Speaker 1: it might be a little too early for that to happen. Yeah,

2305
02:04:45,440 --> 02:04:47,360
Speaker 1: he hasn't had a true season the end. That's right.

2306
02:04:47,480 --> 02:04:54,520
Speaker 1: He's deserves that, exactly right. And but as my sons

2307
02:04:54,520 --> 02:04:57,720
Speaker 1: in the real estate business say, everything's for sale, So

2308
02:04:57,840 --> 02:05:00,400
Speaker 1: if the Steelers come up with a really nice offer,

2309
02:05:01,400 --> 02:05:04,400
Speaker 1: the builds might go Yeah, okay, Josh Allen's not for sale.

2310
02:05:04,520 --> 02:05:08,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's true. That's true. Yeah, that's true. I mean

2311
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:10,640
Speaker 1: you'd have to that may be a Twitter poll for

2312
02:05:10,720 --> 02:05:14,720
Speaker 1: next week. What package would you accept for Josh Allen

2313
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:21,680
Speaker 1: don't out there is not but if if you've got

2314
02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:25,360
Speaker 1: a guy that you want, make an offer. Um, they'll listen.

2315
02:05:25,760 --> 02:05:29,280
Speaker 1: That's that's their job to listen if they can also

2316
02:05:29,440 --> 02:05:33,640
Speaker 1: hang up. But yeah, he brings up Um, you know,

2317
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Bobby from Lancaster brings up a good point. Some transactions

2318
02:05:39,080 --> 02:05:42,040
Speaker 1: are gonna happen, and they're gonna happen during training camp

2319
02:05:42,120 --> 02:05:44,560
Speaker 1: and towards the end of training camp when teams know

2320
02:05:44,680 --> 02:05:47,680
Speaker 1: what they've got and more importantly know what they do

2321
02:05:47,840 --> 02:05:51,040
Speaker 1: not have, and that's when they got to get it. Yeah,

2322
02:05:51,120 --> 02:05:53,360
Speaker 1: they figured it out on training camp. Yes, exactly need

2323
02:05:53,400 --> 02:05:54,680
Speaker 1: to go on and get this. All right, We've got

2324
02:05:54,760 --> 02:05:59,160
Speaker 1: another caller, Vincent, a call about the roster and what

2325
02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:05,720
Speaker 1: it could look like. What's your question for us? Vince? Hello, Vincent?

2326
02:06:07,080 --> 02:06:12,480
Speaker 1: Oh hi, go ahead, buddy. My question was, how did

2327
02:06:12,520 --> 02:06:17,720
Speaker 1: the build a quarterback cornerback death start looks with Trudavious

2328
02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:20,280
Speaker 1: What y'all know he's a lockdown cornerback, but what does

2329
02:06:20,320 --> 02:06:23,520
Speaker 1: it look outside of him? Okay, here's the thing. Levi

2330
02:06:23,680 --> 02:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Wallace has been there been the other starter on the

2331
02:06:25,800 --> 02:06:28,280
Speaker 1: other side for almost as long as Trdavious White has

2332
02:06:28,280 --> 02:06:31,760
Speaker 1: been the starter on a quarterback one. They've tried a

2333
02:06:31,880 --> 02:06:34,880
Speaker 1: lot of things to replace Levi Wallace except one. They

2334
02:06:34,960 --> 02:06:37,840
Speaker 1: have not gotten a high draft pick from this club

2335
02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:40,560
Speaker 1: to do that. They haven't drafted somebody like Tredavious White

2336
02:06:40,760 --> 02:06:46,000
Speaker 1: to replace him. They've signed Josh Norman, they signed Kevin Johnson,

2337
02:06:46,600 --> 02:06:50,840
Speaker 1: and now they've drafted. They've got Cam Lewis, and they've

2338
02:06:50,880 --> 02:06:55,240
Speaker 1: got Dane Jackson. They drafted Rashad Wild Goose. They drafted

2339
02:06:55,320 --> 02:06:58,040
Speaker 1: Rashad Wild Goose, and but these are late round draft picks,

2340
02:06:58,120 --> 02:07:00,840
Speaker 1: so it looks like for me, it looks like tarn

2341
02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:05,839
Speaker 1: Johnson the slot, Dane Jackson, Rashad Wild Goose, Levi Wallace,

2342
02:07:06,560 --> 02:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Cam Lewis, Nick McLeod serand Neil Dane Jackson. Those are

2343
02:07:16,120 --> 02:07:18,080
Speaker 1: the guys that are going to be in that mix,

2344
02:07:18,800 --> 02:07:20,960
Speaker 1: and the best guy is going to get to play

2345
02:07:21,120 --> 02:07:25,240
Speaker 1: opposite Tredavious White. Thanks for calling in. They've got some

2346
02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:28,000
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna compete, but each one of those

2347
02:07:28,080 --> 02:07:33,280
Speaker 1: guys has some question marks, either size or coverage skills

2348
02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:37,760
Speaker 1: or athletic ability or whatever. So we'll see, don't count

2349
02:07:37,960 --> 02:07:41,080
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace out. That man has earned the starting job

2350
02:07:41,280 --> 02:07:43,840
Speaker 1: year after a year after a year. He is a

2351
02:07:43,960 --> 02:07:46,640
Speaker 1: solid corner. He is a good corner. If you're not

2352
02:07:46,840 --> 02:07:50,120
Speaker 1: drafting a high draft pick, he's got a really good chance.

2353
02:07:50,200 --> 02:07:52,480
Speaker 1: And not even saying that, like a really high draft

2354
02:07:52,560 --> 02:07:55,200
Speaker 1: pick could beat him out, because at this point Levi

2355
02:07:55,440 --> 02:07:57,960
Speaker 1: is considered a veteran and he knows the defense better

2356
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:00,560
Speaker 1: than a lot of people on this foster. You have

2357
02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:03,640
Speaker 1: treed Avious White, who is your lockdown guy who's not

2358
02:08:03,800 --> 02:08:06,360
Speaker 1: going anywhere on one side, and you're gonna have a

2359
02:08:06,440 --> 02:08:09,360
Speaker 1: competition for what the third or fourth straight year in

2360
02:08:09,400 --> 02:08:12,160
Speaker 1: a row for that job, and Levi has won it

2361
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:17,000
Speaker 1: multiple times and knows what it takes to win that job. Levi,

2362
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's They can't replay it. They can't get

2363
02:08:21,880 --> 02:08:24,800
Speaker 1: him off the field. They've tried, and every time they

2364
02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:28,120
Speaker 1: do he comes back on. He got benched for a

2365
02:08:28,160 --> 02:08:30,520
Speaker 1: minute last year and Dane Jackson played, but Dane Jackson

2366
02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:33,040
Speaker 1: couldn't stay healthy, he couldn't stay on the field. So

2367
02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:36,840
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace is back out there. They hired they'd signed

2368
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:39,440
Speaker 1: Josh Norman, a former guy who's the highest point. He

2369
02:08:39,520 --> 02:08:42,520
Speaker 1: was the highest paid corner in the NFL at one

2370
02:08:42,600 --> 02:08:45,440
Speaker 1: point of his career. He couldn't take the job from

2371
02:08:45,520 --> 02:08:48,680
Speaker 1: Levi wall He made a name for himself under Sean McDermott.

2372
02:08:48,800 --> 02:08:51,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson was a first round draft picks rounder. He

2373
02:08:51,640 --> 02:08:54,120
Speaker 1: checked all the physical boxes. They brought him up from

2374
02:08:54,160 --> 02:08:57,160
Speaker 1: Houston only two or three years into his career and

2375
02:08:57,320 --> 02:08:59,080
Speaker 1: the only reason he didn't play in Houston was because

2376
02:08:59,080 --> 02:09:01,480
Speaker 1: he couldn't play, couldn't stay healthy. Well, he was healthy

2377
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:05,160
Speaker 1: enough here because he didn't get to play. All of

2378
02:09:05,160 --> 02:09:08,880
Speaker 1: these guys have lined up for Levi, and Levi has

2379
02:09:08,920 --> 02:09:11,600
Speaker 1: fought them all off. He was a walk off. He

2380
02:09:11,680 --> 02:09:16,000
Speaker 1: was a rookie, undrafted free agent. Well walked onto Alabama.

2381
02:09:16,160 --> 02:09:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk on at Alabama and turned into a starter.

2382
02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Dude's got a crazy awesome story. So I know, if

2383
02:09:25,040 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna look at something, he's the guy. He's the

2384
02:09:26,880 --> 02:09:29,680
Speaker 1: gut one that doesn't like you got you got uh

2385
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde, Jordan poy or Tradavious White. The one who

2386
02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:37,480
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he belongs is Levi Wallace, but he

2387
02:09:37,640 --> 02:09:41,880
Speaker 1: does belong. He does belong. He's a he's a good corner,

2388
02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:44,480
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be hard to get off the field.

2389
02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:47,200
Speaker 1: I'll go back to my argument that I've said so

2390
02:09:47,320 --> 02:09:50,400
Speaker 1: many times on this show. You look at the roster

2391
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:53,440
Speaker 1: of a lot of different teams, and we did this

2392
02:09:53,640 --> 02:09:55,920
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs and the forty nine ers were playing

2393
02:09:55,960 --> 02:09:59,880
Speaker 1: against them in the Super Bowl, and you know, you're

2394
02:10:00,080 --> 02:10:02,840
Speaker 1: argument on LEVI might be, well, he is an undrafted guy.

2395
02:10:03,640 --> 02:10:09,240
Speaker 1: There are several low round, undrafted players who are starters

2396
02:10:09,360 --> 02:10:13,200
Speaker 1: on different rosters who you wouldn't think they're that low

2397
02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:16,960
Speaker 1: or were undrafted, but they've been able to put a

2398
02:10:17,040 --> 02:10:19,760
Speaker 1: body of work together and have the right coaching to

2399
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:21,760
Speaker 1: be able to bring them along and bring them up

2400
02:10:21,800 --> 02:10:24,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL to where now they are stars. Matt

2401
02:10:24,640 --> 02:10:27,720
Speaker 1: Milano is a good example of that. Yeah, he's a

2402
02:10:27,880 --> 02:10:31,200
Speaker 1: fifth rounder out of Boston College and a starter since

2403
02:10:31,440 --> 02:10:33,440
Speaker 1: what a couple of games into his rookie year. He

2404
02:10:33,520 --> 02:10:35,440
Speaker 1: got on the field quick, and then they he just

2405
02:10:35,600 --> 02:10:40,240
Speaker 1: never came off. Tarn Johnson, same thing. Tarn Johnson, great

2406
02:10:40,240 --> 02:10:43,720
Speaker 1: slot corner. He's been there for for three or four

2407
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:46,960
Speaker 1: years too, of his entire career, and they they haven't

2408
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:49,160
Speaker 1: even tried to replace him. He got benched last year,

2409
02:10:49,800 --> 02:10:52,280
Speaker 1: and that's when I think Siran Neil or something came

2410
02:10:52,320 --> 02:10:54,360
Speaker 1: in and also got hurt. He was back on the

2411
02:10:54,440 --> 02:10:59,080
Speaker 1: field immediately. And you can say that's it's just good

2412
02:10:59,120 --> 02:11:01,120
Speaker 1: fortune or bad bad luck for one guy, is that

2413
02:11:01,280 --> 02:11:04,040
Speaker 1: lucky break for another. You can say that all you want. Nevertheless,

2414
02:11:04,880 --> 02:11:10,120
Speaker 1: the guy takes every snap, So I'm there. I think

2415
02:11:10,200 --> 02:11:13,200
Speaker 1: they've got I think the Bills feel like the secondary,

2416
02:11:13,280 --> 02:11:16,160
Speaker 1: even the depth in the secondary, is not a glaring

2417
02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:19,440
Speaker 1: hole in their roster or something that they're laying awake

2418
02:11:19,480 --> 02:11:21,880
Speaker 1: in bed thinking they gotta fix. Here's the only thing though,

2419
02:11:22,080 --> 02:11:23,960
Speaker 1: and it'll be a quick point before we go to

2420
02:11:24,040 --> 02:11:27,840
Speaker 1: break though. You said base package for defense. Now in

2421
02:11:27,880 --> 02:11:30,360
Speaker 1: the NFL is you put five dbs on the field.

2422
02:11:30,360 --> 02:11:33,160
Speaker 1: A lot of times you're in dime because or you're

2423
02:11:33,240 --> 02:11:39,400
Speaker 1: in quarters because the offenses are just throwing the ball

2424
02:11:39,480 --> 02:11:41,600
Speaker 1: down the field. They're not running it as much. So

2425
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:43,720
Speaker 1: you have to put more corners. You have to put

2426
02:11:43,800 --> 02:11:46,840
Speaker 1: more safeties to be able to cover if you're going

2427
02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:49,720
Speaker 1: five wide or four wide, so you got to have

2428
02:11:49,880 --> 02:11:52,080
Speaker 1: more on a team. If this is a passing league. Now,

2429
02:11:52,760 --> 02:11:54,800
Speaker 1: quick break for us, we'll be right back. One Bill's

2430
02:11:54,840 --> 02:12:15,000
Speaker 1: Live presented by Klyda Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, Excember,

2431
02:12:15,120 --> 02:12:17,120
Speaker 1: what have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks, the

2432
02:12:17,200 --> 02:12:21,040
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. And

2433
02:12:21,120 --> 02:12:25,640
Speaker 1: I think today we learn that everybody has a helmet

2434
02:12:26,120 --> 02:12:28,920
Speaker 1: or a jersey or an era they want to go

2435
02:12:29,040 --> 02:12:32,440
Speaker 1: back to to see this team put on in twenty

2436
02:12:32,520 --> 02:12:34,560
Speaker 1: twenty two. Not twenty twenty one people, this is twenty

2437
02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:36,600
Speaker 1: twenty two. I think generally speaking, people see as an

2438
02:12:36,640 --> 02:12:39,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to like do something neat cool. I think a

2439
02:12:39,800 --> 02:12:41,280
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, yeah, you know what, that's

2440
02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:44,160
Speaker 1: kind of a good idea. No matter what they think

2441
02:12:44,840 --> 02:12:47,920
Speaker 1: or what error they want to go back to that,

2442
02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:50,000
Speaker 1: they kind of say, yeah, that's kind of cool. So

2443
02:12:50,040 --> 02:12:52,360
Speaker 1: I think everybody's got a really positive feeling about the

2444
02:12:52,520 --> 02:12:55,360
Speaker 1: chance to wear an alternate color helmet, because just about

2445
02:12:55,400 --> 02:12:58,160
Speaker 1: every team has one. Yeah, the Bears don't do they

2446
02:12:58,680 --> 02:13:04,280
Speaker 1: m the Detroit Lions don't. But usually when you hear

2447
02:13:04,400 --> 02:13:06,560
Speaker 1: alternate or when you're like, oh, we're gonna do this

2448
02:13:06,720 --> 02:13:09,440
Speaker 1: different jersey or this different helmet, some people are like, no,

2449
02:13:09,720 --> 02:13:12,160
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do that, We're not gonna be different

2450
02:13:12,440 --> 02:13:15,160
Speaker 1: or go away from our normal colors or how we

2451
02:13:15,280 --> 02:13:18,520
Speaker 1: normally look every Sunday. So I'm glad that so many

2452
02:13:18,560 --> 02:13:21,000
Speaker 1: people called in and said this would be cool, or

2453
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:23,200
Speaker 1: let's go back to this helmet, or let's bring back

2454
02:13:23,240 --> 02:13:25,160
Speaker 1: this jersey. It does give them the chance that if

2455
02:13:25,160 --> 02:13:26,760
Speaker 1: they go to the if they do bring back the

2456
02:13:26,800 --> 02:13:31,640
Speaker 1: old red helmet, they can go all red color rush. Right. Oh,

2457
02:13:32,680 --> 02:13:34,480
Speaker 1: I would be a fan of that, me too, I

2458
02:13:34,560 --> 02:13:38,959
Speaker 1: think so. Well, it's been a fun week with you here. Tasker.
