50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: the Sabers game was last night. But I gotta tell you,

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying I was so bummed I couldn't sleep. I

52
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: was up all night, Maddie. I seriously was up way

53
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: past midnight last night. And I don't know what it

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: was except for the fact that I was bummed about

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: the Sabers not getting a shot off in the third period.

56
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: I was bummed. Take them a couple of games to

57
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: get going and then and then they'll be back where

58
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: where they I can get it. I mean, they were,

59
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: they were, They were all jumbled up for two weeks

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: and then they got thrown back on the ice. There

61
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: still don't have their full compliment of players and all

62
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: that yikety act. But man, oh man, I felt bad

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: for him that you didn't. You can't watch the Sabers

64
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: in Chicago, right, so we get some of the games.

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: Last night, I was busy working on a project that

66
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: we will have released in the next week or so

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: for Black History months, so my focus was on that.

68
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: But my grandmother is a huge hockey fan, so she

69
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: texted my mom and said, Hey, the Sabers are on

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: TV tonight. So they must have been on at her house,

71
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: um wherever she could watch, because she was watching the game.

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: She knows about every player's name. Likes to tune in

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: for the Sabers as well the Blackhawks. Since I grew

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: up in Chicago and I'm currently in Chicago, that's who

75
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: my family cheers for. I've learned to be a Sabers fan, though,

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: especially when you start working for a team like the

77
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Bills or the Sabers, once you start to know those

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: players the coaching staff, you quickly become a fan of

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: that team. Yeah, well that's what when I got drafted.

80
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: I got drafted and before you were born, obviously. In

81
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five, I got drafted, and I got drafted

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: by the Houston Oilers, which is now the Tennessee Titans,

83
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: but back then it's the Houston Oilers, and they had

84
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: a history and like the Buffalo Bills, they were the

85
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: same same time frame kind of thing. They were in

86
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: the AFL and stuff, and my and my family was like,

87
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: that was it, man. They were Oilers fans fast and

88
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: that lasted about a year and a half and overnight

89
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: I got picked up by Buffalo and ended up And

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: it's a whole long, sorted story. Over the course of

91
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: a thirty six or forty eight hours, I got picked

92
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: up by Buffalo over the waiver wire. My family had

93
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: Bills gear, sofa and all that Oiler stuff was like garbage,

94
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: like in like ten minutes, and they got Bills stuff

95
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: out and they were all of a sudden they were

96
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: Bills fans. So it is possible to switch allegiance when

97
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: you have some skin in the game, right, Yeah, I

98
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: completely agree, and I still get it sometimes from fans

99
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. You know, the why is Maddie a Chicago fans.

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: He's cheering for the Bears and the Blackhawks. No, I'm not.

101
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: I know way too much about the Bills and the

102
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: Sabers from their players, their coaching staff. You have those

103
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: personal ties. And for me, when you have those personal ties,

104
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: when you get to know the guys, when you get

105
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: to know their stories, their background info, I don't want

106
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: to cheer for anybody else but the team that I'm

107
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: working for now. On the other hand, my family still

108
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: does cheer for the Chicago teams, but they do always

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: tune into the Bills games. And the other day my

110
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: dad was like, Hey, when are you going to give

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: me some more Bills gears? I have a mug, a

112
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills coffee mug, but I need some gear, so

113
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: I need to hook him up with some of that stuff.

114
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: What good What good is to work for the team

115
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: mad if you can't get free stuff? Right, Hey, that's

116
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: true that I'm told Brownie. The other I don't know.

117
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: It was a couple of months ago. You're during the

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: pandemic and we all did it. We're going through the

119
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: house and getting rid of junk, right. I mean, you've

120
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: got nothing to do all day every day, so everybody's

121
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: going through their house doing odd jobs around the house.

122
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: Cleaning up the joint making, you know, because nobody can

123
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: go out right. So I'm in, I'm looking at my

124
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: closet and I counted sixty articles of clothing with the

125
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: with the logo on a quarter, zips golf shirts. Sixty. Now,

126
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: some of my items, I will admit, are older than you.

127
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: But and but the sixties that are in my closet

128
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: are like new, like I wear them like on the

129
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: air and then when I'm out and about and I

130
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: wear them. But I've got stuff up in the attic

131
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: with that, you know, literally is older than you are.

132
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: Got them. You have to start rocking that stuff because

133
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: that's your retro cool vintage looking bills. Gear up your

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 1: auntie a lot by by wearing some of that stuff

135
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: show or if you know, if you want to sell it,

136
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: you could make a pretty buck on some of that stuff,

137
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: those older like Bill's coats and T shirts and jerseys.

138
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: I was walking around Elmwood Village during the summer and

139
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: they were doing like a sale of a bunch of

140
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: stuff in one of the parking lots, and there were

156
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,840

Speaker 1: a six hundred dollars jacket then, right, and I wore it.

158
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,280

159
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,760

169
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: jacket could be worth like twelve hundreds of somebody. That

198
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: parting gifts? Were you somebody who's like taking some grass

199
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: from the field or anything like that, Because when I

200
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: moved on from high school softball, I think to this day,

201
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: I still have like a little box of the dirt

202
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: from our home field that we played on. Funny the funny,

203
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: you should mention that that's a thing, right, you take

204
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of the sod from where you know,

205
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: because you you know, you hurt and you bled on

206
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: the field. You know you've got scrapes and cuts, and

207
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: you sweat and fought and battled with your teammates that

208
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: you love. You know, on that field it kind of

209
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: gets so you take a little pea patch of it. Okay,

210
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: So my last game as a professional athlete was in

211
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay, and I don't know if you heard about,

212
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: I got tossed out like five plays into the game.

213
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: So you know, it's just kind of stupid. So I

214
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: get so I get tossed out. So I get tossed out,

215
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: and the game happens when we get beat in the

216
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: last game. So the next day is locker clean out

217
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: day and all that, and they have a team meeting

218
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: and Marv says, hey, thanks for the year, not blah

219
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: blah blah. And during the last team meeting, the team

220
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: they gave me to get the team the guys had

221
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: gotten together and got me a sculpture of a football

222
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: player was Mike by Mike Hammy, a former Buffalo bill

223
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: who's an artist, a sculpture who's who's very renowned for

224
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: his work, and they gave me one of his pieces

225
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: of artwork and it was on a nice, huge wooden

226
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: base and in the front of the base was a

227
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: little tray built into the base and in that tray

228
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: they had cut sawed from lambeau Field and stuck in

229
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: the tray of the base of the thing. And so

230
00:11:54,240 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: I've still got that. It was it's pretty cool. Yeah,

234
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,800

235
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: it's it's not in great shape. No, I mean I

274
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: but I traded helmets with a with a bunch. I

275
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: took extra helmets with me so I could get extra helmet.

00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: But I think it's time to go on from that.

282
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I had this conversation with my family that

283
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,760

Speaker 1: hour of the show. We're also talking about the Bill's

Speaker 1: salary cap what they're doing now, and also this and

309
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: I we can't leave without I want to hear your

310
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: thoughts about Jesse Pagula because from what from my Twitter

311
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: feed and all the people I'm talking to, everybody's gonna

312
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: watch that thing tonight. Everybody in Buffalo is gonna watch

313
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: Jesse try and get to the semis of the Australian Open.

314
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: I know I'm going to. I am definitely going to.

315
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: My parents are going to I'm going over to my

316
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: aunts for dinner tonight. She's making some jumbalaya for Fat

317
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: Tuesday and she's gonna watch it with my uncle. So

318
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna have about five us watching this tennis match

319
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: who don't even normally watch tennis really ever unless there's

320
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: a reason to watch it. And this is a perfect

321
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: reason to turn on tennis when really nothing else is

322
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: going on right now. I mean, you've got an NBA,

323
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: you've got NHL games, but we're missing football over here

324
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: in this household. So anything that can tie us to

325
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: the Bills is the reason to turn on the TV.

326
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: I am I am shocked at my level of I

327
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: don't want a passion, I don't want to I'm excitement.

328
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: My level of excitement over this time I had never

329
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: watched tennis ever, and I can't. I'm like planning my

330
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: evening around it, right, and I don't even I mean,

331
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. She just beat the number five player

332
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: in the world. She's got she's got it going on now.

333
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: So I'm so stoked for this match. And I'm I

334
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: am so like not a tennis person and who doesn't

335
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: love like a cinderella story, because that's what this is.

336
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: In this tournament. She is the cinderella story here. She

337
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: came in unranked, she beat the number five seeded players,

338
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: She's never beat a top ten player. It was her

339
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: first top ten win. And to see her just dominate

340
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: so far and make it to the final foard play

341
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: against a friend who's also an American, I think is

342
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: so cool. So the storyline's coming into this matchup I

343
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: think draw even more people in who who may not,

344
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, turn on a tennis match whenever there's tournaments

345
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: going out, Yeah, exactly, and she's Yeah, Jennifer Brady is

346
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: her is her an opponent in the quarterfinals. They're good

347
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: friends and that's you know, Jennifer Brady's from PA and

348
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: of course Jessica is here from Buffalo. I mean that

349
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: you know that. I guess they they're good friends, so

350
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: they hang out, you know, when they're away from the court.

351
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: And now they got to play each other in the

352
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: quarters of a of a slam event. Awesome, man, it's

353
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna be great. I'm I'm I am really looking forward

354
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: to it. I recommend it everybody. It's been fun. It

355
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: is completely different when you got somebody you want to

356
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: really win. It's unbelievable. Because I don't know any tennis

357
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: play She's the only one. She's the only one. So

358
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all about it. I don't hope I don't

359
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: chink her, right, you don't want to? Yeah, anyway, all right,

360
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm knocking on wood really good. Right. Also, did you

361
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: read that the so you saw the thing last week

362
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: and we haven't had a chance to talk about this either.

363
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: The daughter of the guy who built the Lombardi trophy

364
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: apparently was insulted that Tom Brady threw it from one

365
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: boat to the other and once an apology? Would you

366
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: want an apology? What's what's your take on this? And

367
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: then I'll give mine. I'm having a hard time. I'm

368
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: having a hard time seen her. I mean, I'm you know,

369
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm just like every other Buffalo person, like Tom Brady.

370
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I'm having a hard time getting

371
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: upset over that because, you know, like I said, like

372
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: you and I were just talking about, I've got a

373
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: couple of trophies in my office and I own them.

374
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: So if I want to, if I want to throw

375
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: him in the garbage or use them to you know,

376
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: play catch with, or if I want to give him

377
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: to my grant, if I want to have a race

378
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: between my grandkids and give one of my trophies to

379
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: the winner of that race, I get to do that.

380
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: I am not gonna apologize to the designer of a

381
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: trophy after I win it. I think that's she And

382
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: where was the outrage? Because we had this conversation the

383
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: other day. Remember a couple of years ago when Brady

384
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: and Gronk were in New England. They win the World

385
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: Championship and Gronk dents the trophy hitting a ball in

386
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: Fenway Park at home plate. He uses it as a

387
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: bat and puts a dent in it. Where was the

388
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: outrage then, Well, I mean, come on, exactly exactly. I

389
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: feel the same I feel the same way. I mean,

390
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: you're throwing this Lombardi Trophy. Not that far. It looks

391
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: like ten of team feats. I guess from this angle

392
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: that we're watching it on TV. If you're watching it

393
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: on TV, or I've seen the clips, he's throwing it

394
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: to a boat full of people full of NFL players, probably,

395
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it was going to get caught. It was

396
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: never going to get dropped. I never thought it was

397
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: going to get dropped. Look at there's like twenty people

398
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: with their hands up. And it's not like they were

399
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: like defacing this trophy and like riding on it or

400
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: doing anything like that, or they're just having They weren't

401
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: trying to run the super Bowl. Let him do it exactly.

402
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm it's it's crazy. I'm totally with you that you

403
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: win the trophy. It's yours, and I thank you to

404
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: the designer and the guy who you know welded it.

405
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: I am disinterested in your in your opinions about what

406
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: we do with it after we win it. I'm I'm

407
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: totally on board with that, all right. Steve Tasker, Maddie

408
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: glab Here on One Bill's Live. We've we've got a

409
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a on a Twitter poll, Twitter

410
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: question really today who would you get And we've had

411
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: this one. The one yesterday was the Mountain rushmore of

412
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: off seasons and things you've got to get done, and

413
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: so this touched on some of the things that we're

414
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: gonna asking this question. The question is this, who would

415
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: you give a new contract to this offseason and why.

416
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: It's a good question because obviously Josh Allen comes to

417
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: the top of your mind and stuff. But he's got

418
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: two years left on his deal and there's no question

419
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: you're gonna pick up his option. You're gonna get that

420
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: deal done. But to me and to some others, maybe

421
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: that's not as urgent to get that done as it

422
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: might be to build the team around him to make

423
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: sure you can be good going forward. Some people have

424
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: brought up Steph Diggs. He's making like twelve or thirteen

425
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: million a year, and people think that's grossly underpaid, even

426
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: though he's only two years into a five year deal

427
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: he just signed when he was with the Vikings and he's,

428
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's knocking it out of the park already

429
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: after one years of Buffalo build. There are other players

430
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: maybe they think it's more critical to resign Tremaine Edmonds

431
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: or or John Feliciano or whoever you can name, your name,

432
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: your name, your player, who is the guy that you

433
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: need to give a contract to this offseason? And that's

434
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: a that's a critical point. You can call us at

435
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: eight o three five fifty two five fifty or tweet

436
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: at us at one bills like, we'll take your calls

437
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: later in the show as well. And what's off the

438
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: top of your head, Mattie, who's the guy who you

439
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: got to give a contract? There's a couple of guys

440
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: who are at the top of my list. Um, I'm

441
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: a big John Feliciano fan. And there was an article

442
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: that got released by NFL Network yesterday that we put

443
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: in our bills today, written up piece that we do

444
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: every single day, and I think it was all teams

445
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: in the AFC they listed like a must sign free

446
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: agent and for the Bills. I can't remember who wrote it.

447
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: Maybe it was Nick Shook, or maybe it was David Carr,

448
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: one of those guys. I'll look it up, but they

449
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: said that John Feliciano is at the top of the

450
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: list and gave some good reasons why. So I'm all

451
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: for resigning John Feliciano. I really like what he adds

452
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: to the team. I mean, remember when he went out

453
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: with that peck injury and came back in and the

454
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: raving reviews that the team gave everyone about John Feliciano,

455
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 1: and in every press conference we heard John Feliciano as

456
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: a dog. John Feliciano is an animal. John Feliciano adds

457
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: so much spunk to this offensive line. John Feliciano is

458
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: a game changer because of what he brings to the table,

459
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: into the team. And then we see him float all

460
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: over the offensive line and kill it at the center

461
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: position when that's not a position that he normally plays

462
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. So I'm on board John Foliciano.

463
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: I'm also on board with someone like Daryl Williams. We

464
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that this team needs a tackle

465
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: and how important he was to this team this past season.

466
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people expected him to

467
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: be so important to the offensive line. So there's several

468
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: good options out there. I don't know if I have

469
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: a number one yet in my mind, but do you

470
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: have someone that you would like the Bills to resign

471
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: that's at the top of the list there. Yeah, I

472
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: think you'd go down the list of who you want

473
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: to extend or who do you want to make sure

474
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: doesn't leave in free agency? Right, some people will say

475
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: Matt Malana right off the bat, right because he was

476
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: such a huge, important player, and he's all over the

477
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: field when you watch, when you watch the Bills defense play,

478
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: that's the guy that jumps right out of everybody, even

479
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: Tredevious because Davius never gets thrown at. You never hear

480
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: from Tradevious because no, he isn't getting a chance to play.

481
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: He covers this guy up and they go somewhere else

482
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: and you never see him. Same thing with poor year

483
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: in high poor year, you see quite a bit. He

484
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: made a ton of tackles. This year was at a

485
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: phenomenal year. But when you watch the Bills defense play,

486
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: Matt Milano is the guy that you look at. He's

487
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: always around the football, He's always making tackles. He's picking

488
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: it off, he's rushing the passer, he's making tackles in

489
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: the run game, he's covering up tight end ends, he's

490
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: knocking passes away from the you know receivers. All I mean,

491
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: so he's the kind of the guy that jumps out

492
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: at you. But for me, I don't know that if

493
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: if you're gonna start qualifying this Maddie like you're gonna say, well,

494
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: if you can get him for cheap, Well, if you

495
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: can get him cheap, Matt Milana would be the guy

496
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: for me, right, But if you're getting him at market value,

497
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know if I want to

498
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: pay that much for Milano. So I think it's more

499
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: about a guy like Feliciano, because you know that offensive

500
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: line is going to be decimated by free agency. They've

501
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys whose contracts are up they

502
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: got to make And I've always thought that the offensive

503
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: and defensive lines where everything starts for your team. I'm

504
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: all about getting that, getting that to be great and dominant,

505
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: and then keeping it that way as you go forward.

506
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: And I and I said this, I made this analogy

507
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: last week off the air. John Feliciano is one of

508
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: those guys you gotta have it like if if you're

509
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: if you're team is a is one is a toolbox, right,

510
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 1: and you pull out your team and you're offense, you're

511
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: like you say, it's a drill, or if it's a saw,

512
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: or if it's you know, whatever tool you want to

513
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: you want to grab. Say, it's there instance a saw

514
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: that you like, one of those handsaws that you go

515
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: back and forth against, you know, a piece of wood.

516
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: John Feliciano is one of those guys that's the tooth

517
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: of that saw, you know what I mean. They're one

518
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: of the guys that cut that other team. They are

519
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: the They are the point where the rubber meets the road,

520
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: where the metal meets the wood, and of a saw,

521
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: they're that little bit of the metal that does all

522
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: the work. That's the kind of guy you need. Guys

523
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: like that. The whole sawways five pounds, but the six

524
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: ounces that's along the cutting edge of the saw blade

525
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: are the guys like John Feliciano. Those are the guys

526
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: you gotta get resigned. You need and even in the game,

527
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: as much as it's changed throughout the years, you need

528
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: guys that are edgy. And I told Chris Brown, I'll

529
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: say to you, if there's a fight and a scuffle,

530
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: if guys like John Brown, if he's not in the

531
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: middle of the scuffle, he's trying to get there. Some

532
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: guys are standing back and they're trying they go to

533
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: a guy that's furthest away from the fight, and then

534
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: they hold him away from the fight and the two

535
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: of them hug While the fight goes on. Feliciano is

536
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: trying to get punches in and that goes a long

537
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: way to guys that are on his team. Guys are

538
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: with him. Guys follow guys like that into the fray.

539
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: And when you're willing to mix it up with your opponent,

540
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: that opponent treats you differently the rest of the game.

541
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: They treat you with some respect and some some deference

542
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: that you don't get unless they unless they know that

543
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: if they get chippy, you're gonna punch him in a mouth.

544
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: John Feliciano is a guy like that. Daryl Talley was

545
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: a guy like that in for Buffalo back in the day.

546
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: Leonard Smith was a guy like that back in the day.

547
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: You know, we had guys, you know, Area Strovski was

548
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: a guy like that. Kent Hall was a little bit

549
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: like that. You know, you gotta have guys that are

550
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: just guys who were who are you know you they're

551
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: looking for it and the other team has to know it.

552
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: So Feliciano, because of that, and because all the things

553
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: that you just said about the guys talking to him.

554
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: I think I'm with you. I think Feliciano is the

555
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: guy because you know, when you got a lot of guys,

556
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: then this team is you know this, Maddie, This team

557
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: is full of just great dudes, just great dudes even

558
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: after the game, like Lee Smith, Lee Smith and go

559
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 1: have a have a beer with the other team's offensive line. Right.

560
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: They they're great guys. Right. You also need some guys

561
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: that when on your team, that when they walk into

562
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: the other team's party, the other team's on edge. Right,

563
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: you need some guys like that, and Feliciano is one

564
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: of them. So I'm totally with you. I think that's

565
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: I think that's it. I'm all right. We gotta get

566

00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: media reporter for the Buffalo Bills, so your your plate's

580
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: kind of full even though you're in, you know, because

581
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: of the pandemic. So you guys, I say you guys

582
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: on the website today. The Bill's website is Josh Allen.

583
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a big series now, right, just starting out,

584
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: Explain to me what's going on with the five stuff. So,

585
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: of course in the off season, as we enter in

586
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: the off season, we're always trying to think of different

587
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: things we can put out there, things that happen from

588
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: this past season that can be used as kind of

589
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: the evergreen content to kind of trickle out there. As

590
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: we entered the weeks of absolutely nothing going on before

591
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: we hit free agency and through free agency, we are

592
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: the only thing going on, right, I mean, this show

593
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: is the only thing going on one Bill's Drive these days, right,

594
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: So our wonderful video friends, they're in the video team,

595
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: our media content team, Mike and Karina and Jimmy and

596
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: Anny and Jonathan. They all edited together a bunch of

597
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: top five plays. And I can't forget about Jevin, James

598
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: and Kevin. Yeah, so they all edited together like a

599
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: top five of a bunch of different things. And so

600
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: we'll see that go out on social media and on

601
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: the website over the next few weeks. So a top

602
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: five plays from Josh Allen from Stefan Digg's Top five Celebrations,

603
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: top five defensive plays. So those will slowly roll out

604
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: over the next few weeks. So today, of course, they

605
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: start at the top Josh Allen Top five plays from

606
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season. And it's funny too because most

607
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: of these I remember all these right because I was

608
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: doing the games on radio and I was like tuned

609
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: in and honed in and I've seen all the highlights

610
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: of gazillion times doing this show. And you and I

611
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: were laughing right before we came on. I would have

612
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: picked I had like five different plays. Now that's that's

613
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: not true. I had some of these were on some

614
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: of the ones like you know, the number five play

615
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: is his touchdown run in Denver where he weave threw

616
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: everybody and like just walked into the ends. It looked

617
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: like he was playing by himself almost, right, So that

618
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen almost deserves like a top ten.

619
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: It's it's really tough to pick five plays that are

620
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: his best from this past season. Maybe he even needs it,

621
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: like a top twenty, because I don't even think we

622
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: could get ten in there. Think more of the wheelhouse

623
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: of Josh. Think about it. Think about it. He was

624
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: the runner up to the MVP. He has more than

625
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: five plays, right, he deserves like, you know, highlight hit,

626
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: like a twenty minute highlight package, right, and we could

627
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: put one. We'll probably put one of those together too

628
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: because we're in it's February. But um yeah, these five

629
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: plays are just the tip of the iceberg, because man,

630
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: oh man, you we forget this team got off to

631
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: a start this year and they just never let up.

632
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: This team, this Bills team was playing so good at

633
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: the end of the year. It was so fun. Oh

634
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: my gosh, and Josh, you know, they they just lit

635
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: up Denver, they lit up the Patriots, and they absolutely

636
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: crushed the Dolphins to finish the season, and I mean

637
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: they were playing so good, and they were pretty good

638
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: teams they were playing. I mean they were NFL teams

639
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: they were playing. I didn't know how to act in

640
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: the booth doing those games. And Josh had play after

641
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: play after play. We picked the top five. A lot

642
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: of good ones. There's a lot of good ones, so

643
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: that that's on the website. And did you have one

644
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: that you had that was a favorite. I don't know

645
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: if I have a favorite. Honestly, Steve, you probably remember

646
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: things so much better than I do. After the season.

647
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: It's like my mind goes blank and everything kind of

648
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: jumbles together in one game. I always talk about this

649
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: with Kim Pagoula on our podcast because she's like, Terry

650
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: can remember specific plays from games in the past, from

651
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: like week you bring up week three or week four,

652
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: Terry remembers what happened on third and short, and she's like,

653
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: I can't remember anything that is exactly how I am.

654
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: I can remember the big moments, I can remember the

655
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: wins and the scores and things like that, but when

656
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: you start to talk about specific plays, I need to

657
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: like brush up on all of that because my mind

658
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: just does not work in that way. Yeah, but I

659
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: think back to I think back to a couple of

660
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: those big plays that he had in the playoffs. One

661
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: of the drives that still sticks out in my mind

662
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: is when he had those two throws to Gabriel Davis

663
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: on the sideline to move the ball down the field

664
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: and then score a touchdown when I think they went

665
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: up maybe they went up by two scores or one

666
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: score after that touchdown drive, but I remember that being

667
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: a really important drive. I was that in the Colts game.

668
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,479
Speaker 1: It was a Colts game. Yes, it was a Colts game.

669
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: It was the Colts game. I remember that stuff like

670
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: that too. I remember, you know, moments and what the

671
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: play meant at the time, and you think back, you know,

672
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: MSG viewers are watching this play. The first of these

673
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: throws the Bills and give us a ninety five yard

674
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: drive or something, right, and h Gabe Davis had two

675
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: catches the amount of like sixty of the yards and

676
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: it was a huge moment in the game. Is right

677
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: after halftime, I think, and you know, Josh found Gabe

678
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: Davis after scrambling all over the yard and it was

679
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: it was just before halftime. Actually they went up. I

680
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: think it was fourteen. I think that put him up

681
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: fourteen to three, and I think the Colts got a

682
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: field goal before halftime they got fourteen six. Maybe that

683
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: I can't I cannot remember, but yeah, that that drive

684
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: was in or I remember the feeling and how important

685
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: it was at the time that had happened, and I

686
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: think that's that's what did it for me. There's another

687
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: play that that that I remember, and I was mentioned

688
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: it to you during the break, was win in Arizona,

689
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: even in a game they lost, to take the lead

690
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: with thirty four seconds left. That drive was so good

691
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: that things money Ye had Cole Beasley with the one

692
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: handed catch on you know, on the first third down

693
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: um and then you know that drive, that throw that

694
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: ended it when Josh rolled out to his left, flipped

695
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: his hips around to face the other sideline and wing

696
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: that thing to the back of the end zone and

697
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs being guarded by Patrick Peterson, comes loose and

698
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: just I mean, it's just a oh my gosh, it

699
00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: was an unbelievable throw. Unbelievable throw, and that was that

700
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 1: was an amazing play in the Rams game. Week four,

701
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: the Bills are three and oo Rams are three and

702
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: oz and the Bills have got to drive. They gave

703
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: up a big lead, and the Rams took the lead,

704
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: and the Bills have got one final drive to win

705
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: the game. Josh picks up a third and twenty two

706
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: to Cole Beasley over the middle of the field. Phenomenal play.

707
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: Those are enormous moments that I remember, and it just

708
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: goes on and on, right, I mean, for thirteen games

709
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: they wanted the regular season, and they lost their their

710
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: third game on a hail Mary by two really phenomenally

711
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: talented guys who kind of made this once in a

712
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: lifetime play. That play. Forget about DeAndre hot think about this.

713
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, as great as he may be, that may

714
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: be the play of his career right now, I'd say

715
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: it is. There is no other play I remember him making.

716
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: He made a between the legs catch which I don't

717
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: even know what it meant. But he a game winner

718
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: over three guys that are like all pro players. That's

719
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: like the play of his career. You agree, Yeah, I agree.

720
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: It was a really big play for him. I'm still

721
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: very salty about the fact that we weren't able to

722
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: knock that ball down with three of our best players

723
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: standing around him. But you know, crazy things happen, and

724
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: that I have just been one of those moments where

725
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: you can't explain it and what happened. But I think

726
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: it's also hilarious that after that the Bills saw a

727
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: couple other hail Mary's. I remember listening to Leslie Frasier

728
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: after they saw maybe the second or third one, and

729
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: he was like, you get a hail mary maybe once

730
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: every couple seasons. We've had enough hail Mary's to be

731
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: good for the next six years. Like this team doesn't

732
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: need to see any more of these. We've been stuck

733
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: in way too many situations that end on hail mary's.

734
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 1: Looking at the Colts right there as Philip Rivers chucked

735
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: one up at the end of the game and thankfully

736
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde was able to knock it down and the

737
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: Bills move on in the playoffs and secure their first

738
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: playoff win under Sean McDermott, Brandon Bean and Josh Allen's

739
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: first playoff win. But man moments that are huge moments

740
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: that mean a lot. Those hail mary passes, the Bills

741
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: saw more than enough of those this past season. Yeah,

742
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: and it's interesting too because the week after they lost

743
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: to Arizona, and I think they come back and they

744
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: play the card the Chargers. Maybe was after that, I'm

745
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: not sure if it was after the bye the Chargers.

746
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: They come back after getting beat by a hail Mary.

747
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: The Chargers loft up a hail Mary and they hit

748
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: it again. Although it's way short of the of the

749
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: end zone and it didn't end up costing them the game.

750
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: They gave up another complete hail mary. So right about

751
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: then you're thinking, you know, I've had enough, And then

752
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: you get into the playoffs and the way and if

753
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,479
Speaker 1: you get a chance to go to the website, they've

754
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: got the micd up of the guys the DBS before

755
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: the play what they were thinking, what they're gonna do,

756
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: and Urdavis is, lord, hey, I'm just boxing out. So

757
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: he was gonna what he was gonna do is like

758
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: under the rim of a basketball goal and keep his

759
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 1: body between the receivers and where the ball was gonna

760
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: he was gonna stay away from the ball and keep

761
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: Colts players away from the ball, like just box them out.

762
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: And of course Micah Hyde comes up and spikes the

763
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: thing into the ground short of the goal line. The

764
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: lessons you learn from those bad, bad instances. I think

765
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: served him well and to win a playoff game. Number two,

766
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: the fourth Josh Allen play on the websites you go

767
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: to is a play that I've forgotten completely about because

768
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: it happened in the Tennessee game. It was the t

769
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: J yelled and touchdown passed in Tennessee, and I thought

770
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: I forgot about. I could not have remembered this in

771
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: a bazillion years. And Josh Allen standing in the pocket.

772
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: The offensive line is absolutely stoning the Tennessee pass rush.

773
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: Josh is standing back there. He throws this ball and

774
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: as he lets it go, it comes out of his

775
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: hand funky, it's got it's going thousand miles an hour,

776
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: but it's like starts to tumble and t J. Yelden

777
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: catches it two yards from the back of the end zone. Touchdown. Bills.

778
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: Nobody could break on the ball fast enough. And the

779
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: offensive line was phenomenal in that play. And it's a game.

780
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: And ultimately the Bills, you know, they got beat soundly

781
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: in that game. It was after the COVID break outbreak

782
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: and the Bills thought they were playing the Chiefs actually,

783
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: and then they got rescheduled to play the Titans, so

784
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten completely about that play. I don't remember. I say,

785
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: I don't remember a single thing about the Tennessee game

786
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: except the COVID situation surrounding it. Yeah. I looked at

787
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: the touchdown to t J Yelden on our rundown that

788
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: we see and I'm like, TJ Yelden had a touchdown

789
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: in that game? What? So that game has been cleared

790
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: for my memory. In my mind, honestly, the only thing

791
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: I remember from that game is about how the Titans

792
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: players took the victim mentality in that whole situation, and

793
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: that pissed me off so much because they were not

794
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: the victims. It was their fault that it's spread within

795
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: that team. They probably could have been doing things better

796
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: to limit the spread. And the game gets pushed all

797
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: around the place, and so many teams got affected by

798
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: those couple of weeks by the Titans, and they were saying, oh,

799
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: we're the victims. We're so sad that this is happening

800
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: to us. They affected so many schedule changes, the Bills

801
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: had to play a different time, a different a different game,

802
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: and I hated how that game happened. I hate that

803
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: the Bills just didn't come out of the gate. They

804
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: were flat, there was no energy. The Titans had all

805
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: the energy. And it still gets me mad and rattle

806
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: talking about that game, because in my mind, that was

807
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: a sure win because the Titans hadn't practiced in what

808
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: like two weeks at that point, and we were set

809
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: to play them, had extra time to prepare. Yes, we

810
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: were going to be on a short week to following

811
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: week playing some good teams. But I was thinking, Okay,

812
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: the Titans are a great team, We've had extra time

813
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: to prepare. We are going to kick their butt. And

814
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: that did not happen. Yeah, and it's a big lesson

815
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. I kind of I suspected

816
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: it might happen. It's exactly the perfect storm for one

817
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: team being mentally off the charts perfect and the other

818
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: team really struggling to even show up mentally sharp. And

819
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: that's you know, the Bills were on the wrong end

820
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: of that equation. And there's a lot of reasons for

821
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: that I've been into, particularly with how the game was rescheduled, scheduled, rescheduled,

822
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: and the way the Titans went through their whole thing.

823
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,680

850
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be more than three as many as

851
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: they can think of, right, Yeah, okay, So we're talking

852
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: about these Josh Allen plays we had. Uh the first

853
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 1: the first play was the uh the rushing touchdown versus Denver,

854
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: the twenty one yard or nineteen yard rush where he

855
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: weaves through the whole thing. Then the t touchdown. You

856
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: and either one of us could even remember until we

857
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: saw it, t J Yelden in the back of the

858
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: end zone the Titans game, the game they lost. Now,

859
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: the third one we haven't seen is Allanton Knox tv

860
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 1: TD in Denver, the one where this is the one

861
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: where Josh tucked. It looked like he was going to

862
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,919
Speaker 1: run that quarterback. Uh the quarterback. No, that's not right.

863
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: He was rolling around and he just fired it to

864
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: the corner of the end zone for Dawson Knox and

865
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: that was the play. And I thought the play what

866
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: was it? Was it that play or was it a

867
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: Denver game where he actually thought he was gonna run

868
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: it and then flipped it kind of awkwardly. That was

869
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: another game, different, but it was a touchdown to Dawson Knox, right,

870
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: and I was I was thinking it was going to

871
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: be that Dawson Knox touchdown there it is. That's yeah,

872
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: the Colts game. This is the one I thought too,

873
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: where Josh touchs the ball, starts to run, starts to

874
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: get hit, starts to go down, he's fall and then

875
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: flings it like just shot, puts it to Dawson Knox

876
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Touchdown. Uh, that's not the one

877
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: they showed. It's the nice the other one against the Broncos.

878
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: I wonder why they like that one in the Bronchos

879
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: so much. That was a pretty pedestrian one. I gotta

880
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: call him out on it. I liked the I like

881
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: the playoff t touchdown better. I don't know, all right,

882
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: way right, I agree X had a couple of good touchdowns.

883
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: I think that was my favorite Dawson Knox touchdown of

884
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: the season was that Colts touchdown where Josh Allen is

885
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: basically gonna run decided to throw heads. Dawson not I

886
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 1: think so too. I don't know, but here's one that

887
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: now the number two, the number two t D of

888
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: the year was I agree with Alan Josh Allen to

889
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft t d to the in the Rams game

890
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: for the win, A little lofted touch pass over the top,

891
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft goes way up high, gets it, brings it

892
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: down Bill's win, Rams lose Week four. Yeah, that was

893
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: a great touchdown over to Tyler Croft. I mean love

894
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: seeing Tyler Croft get involved. Unfortunately, he wasn't involved as

895
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: much as we wanted him to be this season, and

896
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: the tight ends were not involved as much as we

897
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: wanted them to be this season. But that Rams when

898
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: that was one of the first big wins in the

899
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: season that I was kind of like, okay, okay, this

900
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: team can play. Yeah that coming back from the way

901
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: they did they had the big league let it get

902
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: away from him and then came back and stamped him

903
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: out at the with the last drive. That was pretty

904
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: awesome win. Last one, the last play we gotta go

905
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: to a break was John Brown deep pass in Miami.

906
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: First play in Miami. Down there early in the season,

907
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: they had just blown it about two plays before this

908
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: they missed this play. They come right and run the

909
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: same thing, and sure enough it comes open again and

910
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: Josh hits it on the last play. And this is

911
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: when you know early on, this is when Josh had

912
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: never thrown for three hundred yards, and then the first

913
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks of the season he does it twice

914
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: and John Brown goes into the end zone. It was

915
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: I thought that that getting off to that kind of

916
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: start the way they did this year, Maddie, I thought

917
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: was just so fun. And they've done it the last

918
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: couple of years. I don't know if it puts a

919
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him for the upcoming schedule, but

920
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: I mean your thought, I mean the thoughts about the start.

921
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 1: Getting off to that fast start like they did this year,

922
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: was so fun, was it not. I remember Josh Allen's

923
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: first three hundred yard game and during the postgame show

924
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: that I do with Eric Would, we were all, you know,

925
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: so pumped about his first three hundred games, thinking like, wow,

926
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: this is something that Josh Allen needed to do this season,

927
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: He's checked it off his list of things to do

928
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: so early in the season, and then it was like

929
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: three hundred yard games, three hundred yard game, three hundred

930
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: yard game, four hundred yard games, three hundred yard games,

931
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: four hundred yard game. And we're like, oh, he's had

932
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: like seven of these this season in and Eric was like,

933
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: do you remember when he had his first three hundred

934
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: yard game and we thought it was so important to

935
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: his third season, And look at us now he's had

936
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 1: I think he had eight of those during the regular season.

937
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: At seven, he's had seven three hundred and two four hundreds.

938
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable, incredible. Yeah, it was all right, we're

939
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: gonna take a break, We're gonna come back, and our

Speaker 1: date with all the free agency that's going on or

958
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: pending and some and asking you about your thoughts about

959
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 1: which Bill this offseason has to have a new contract

960
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: or one you'd like to see him get a new contract.

961
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: But we're gonna take a break from that and talk

962
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: to our good friend Joel Corey. He's a CBS Sports

Speaker 1: the Cap podcast. He's also a former agent for professional

965
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: athletes as well. Joel Corey joins us Now, Joel, thank

966
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: you so much for joining us. How are you doing

967
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: during the pandemic and are are you safe and sound

968
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: from the winter storm everybody's experiencing. I'm exempt from the

969
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: winter storm because at far west, so I'm from Nashville

970
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 1: and talk to some friends back home and it's not

971
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 1: good back there, as Nashville is not prepared for major snow. Yeah,

972
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: no doubt that everybody's getting hammered the way it is

973
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: right now. And you've got you had an article out

974
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: that was really interesting about some of the dates free agency,

975
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: the uh, the franchise tag kind of deadlines. There's also

976
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: a couple of Bills players that you've noted in Dion

977
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: Dawkins and to Davious White, who has a have I

978
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: guess a five five day window about some clauses in

979
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: their contract. Could you expound on those two guys and

980
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: what the next five days holds for them? Um? Yeah.

981
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: What the Bills have done is used a structure of

982
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: a contract called a signing bonus and option bonus. And

983
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: option bonuses they're treated like signing bonus under the salary cap.

984
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: From the year you exercise the option, they get pro

985
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: raded up to a maximum of five years. For these

986
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: two guys in particular, on the first day of the

987
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: league year, which is March seventeenth, Saint Patrick's Day. That's

988
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: when the five day window opens to pick up the

989
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 1: final year of their contracts. In White's case that's that's

990
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and in dawkins case that's twenty four.

991
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: And in order to pick up the last year, you

992
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: have to pay a price, which is the option bonus

993
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: for Dawkins at seven point five million and for White

994
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: that's seven point three. And when you do that, that's

995
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: going to lower their twenty twenty one base salaries in

996
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: the process. That's a contract structure that had gone out

997
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: of style but come back in vogue because we're going

998
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: to have a tight cap situation. And with that structure,

999
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: you can have low first and second year cap numbers

1000
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: and they balloon after that. So what you're telling us,

1001
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: they're just converting half of their base salary of twenty

1002
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: twenty one into a bonus that gets pro rated for

1003
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: the life of the contract, and it almost cuts their

1004
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: cap hit virtually in half or by whatever amount the

1005
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: bonus is. Yeah, that's pretty accurate summation of it. Okay,

1006
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: looking at the salary cap in twenty twenty one, we

1007
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: know what the range could be, but we don't know

1008
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: the exact number yet. And one thing that's going to

1009
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: possibly play into this number, not necessarily for this year,

1010
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 1: but for the years to come, is this new TV

1011
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: deal that's getting ready to be set. Tell me about

1012
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: how this TV deal could play into the salary caps

1013
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: to come in the future, and how this year's may

1014
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: alter a little bit with it being set. If the

1015
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,919
Speaker 1: TV deal comes out before that, well, if you get

1016
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: the TV deals nailed down before the new league you starts,

1017
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: then that's going to give owners more incentive to bar

1018
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: from the future and put the cap closer to the

1019
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 1: current one hundred ninety eight pointy two million dollars level

1020
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: than being near the salary floor, which is agreed upon

1021
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five million. If the TV deals

1022
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: are going to be as estimated, then the CAP's going

1023
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: to start taking pretty significant jumps. Obviously, have to pay

1024
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: back the money that you've been growing to keep the

1025
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: cap at the level it would be for twenty twenty one.

1026
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: You may not have tremendous growth in twenty twenty two,

1027
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, but then it would take off again,

1028
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: presumably twenty twenty four at the latest. So that would

1029
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: be a game changer for players to have the TV

1030
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: deals done because you wouldn't see as many guys who

1031
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: would be released or having to take pay cuts this year.

1032
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: And what are the chances of that cap being positive?

1033
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean a certainly it's going to be positively affected

1034
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I mean what's the highest end?

1035
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what are the owners, what are their incentives

1036
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: and how does it work if they borrow, say, for instance,

1037
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: if they borrow ten or fifteen million per team to

1038
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: raise the cap by that much fifteen million bucks, if

1039
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: they go up to like one hundred and ninety million

1040
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: from the floor, what does that mean in the next

1041
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: two years and how long will it take them to

1042
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: pay that back. Well, one thing that they did with

1043
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: the last round it they hadn't done in the past,

1044
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: which is smooth it in. The increase it used to

1045
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: be TV does get done, the cap takes a huge

1046
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 1: spike that first year, which is what happened with the NBA,

1047
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: But the last time around they decided to smooth it in,

1048
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: so that means that the money gets allocated evenly or

1049
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: more evenly than it would instead of a huge spike,

1050
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: so you're gonna see the cap hopefully not take a

1051
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: big dip this year. Then it wouldn't go up as

1052
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: much as you would expect in twenty twenty two, possibly

1053
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and then we'd start seeing it taking

1054
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: the big increases based on the TV money again, probably

1055
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: know later than twenty twenty four. Let's talk about one

1056
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 1: player that could affect the cap of several different teams

1057
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: depending on where he goes is jj Watt. He was

1058
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: released per his request by the Houston Texans and the

1059
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: Bills have been identified per reports, as one of those

1060
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: teams who's already shown some interest in him as well

1061
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: as several other teams. Has jj Watt and his agent

1062
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: already identified the preferred teams that he's looking into And

1063
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: what type of a deal could we be expecting if

1064
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: a team does acquire jj Watt. Yeah, I suspect that

1065
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 1: jj Watt already has some sort of releases agents, some

1066
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 1: decent idea of who would be able to pay what

1067
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: and for how long. Otherwise you don't ask for your release.

1068
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: And the way and the reason I'll say that is

1069
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: one of the guys that helped represent is Hall of

1070
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: Famer John Randall and I believe it was thousand and

1071
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: one the Vikings came and asked him to take a

1072
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: pay cut. What we did was we kind of had

1073
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: hypothetical conversations with teams to see who might be interested

1074
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: in for what money, to kind of have us determine

1075
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: how hard we play this whole pay cut or balk

1076
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: at all. We decided we weren't going to take the

1077
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,959
Speaker 1: pay cut, and we almost immediately went to the seat

1078
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: because we knew what Seattle would say. Now, in JJ's situation,

1079
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: he's been kind of injury prone past few years. Older

1080
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: guy will be I think thirty two by the time

1081
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: the regular seasons and I think it marched, So you

1082
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: kind of look at two guys or thirty one, you

1083
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 1: kind of look at two guys. Jason Pierre Paul last

1084
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: year signed to go to Tampa stay in Tampa twenty

1085
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: five million over two years instead of was taking seven million.

1086
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: Older to Campbell when he was traded from Jacksonville to Baltimore.

1087
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: He's under contract for the same thing as Jason Pierre Paul,

1088
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: or you can go back to when play as Campbell

1089
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: was basically the same age as J. J. Watt when

1090
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: he went to Jacksonville that was fifteen million per year,

1091
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: but I expect it to be somewhere between the tended

1092
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars per year range. He's going to be

1093
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: making less per year than the seventeen point five million

1094
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: he was scheduled to make in Houston if he played

1095
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: out the remainder of his previous contract. We're talking with

1096
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: Joel Corey, CBS Sports, NFL contract and salary cap expert.

1097
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: I got to ask you as well. One of the

1098
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: things I when you go down the list of possible

1099
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: salary cap casualties across the league, and she's going to

1100
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: be an inflated number this year because of the shrinking

1101
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: cap for this coming season. There's a the theme that

1102
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: I get coming out from a lot of these teams

1103
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: is these guys are coming out there. They've been very

1104
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: productive players, but they're all thirty or thirty plus years

1105
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: of age. Is kind of the common denominator for the

1106
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be available. You say, and

1107
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: you talked about j J Watch just a moment ago.

1108
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,959
Speaker 1: Another one that's on that same line as Von Miller.

1109
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: Now he's not free yet, but he probably will be. Correct. Yes, Well,

1110
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: Von Miller. They have to pick up an option for

1111
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty one contract year, and von Miller missed

1112
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,479
Speaker 1: the entire twenty twenty season. I think if an ankle

1113
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: Andrey had surgery the final year, he's got a cap

1114
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: number of twenty two point one two five million if

1115
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: it's picked up. If they do pick up, the seventeen

1116
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: point five million dollars base salary is fully guaranteed, so

1117
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: they would end up saving eight million on the cap

1118
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: if they didn't pick up the option. The window should

1119
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: the exercise opened last Friday, and they have until the

1120
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: first the league year to make Okay and some other

1121
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: some other people who could be traded by their teams

1122
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: and who are on the table two quarterbacks to Shaun

1123
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: Watson and Carson Wentz. We haven't seen either of those

1124
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: players move yet. But what could be slowing down those

1125
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: trades for each of those quarterbacks. Well, Watsons is very simple.

1126
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: Texans don't want to trade him. Nick Kissario said that

1127
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: zero interson trading Deshaun Watson. At his press conference in

1128
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 1: the owner came out, all right, Ay, we expecting to

1129
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: be with the Houston Texans, So I know he's requested

1130
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: to trade This is gonna be basically who blinks first.

1131
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: If we get past the draft, then it'll be interesting

1132
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: to see. And he's still on the Texans roster, it'll

1133
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how far it's going to want

1134
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: to taxis because it's very easy to talk cup in February,

1135
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: but come training campus, he's there and he's looking at

1136
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: signing bonus repayment finds it no longer be good. And

1137
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: and I think if Carson Wentz that it's just a

1138
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: matter of time before he's traded. I thought he would

1139
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: be traded. I didn't think that the Eagles yea billions

1140
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: in dead money for him not to be there, but

1141
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: apparently they're looking to move them. Howie Roseman, from all reports,

1142
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: wants a Matthew Stafford time all for him, but nobody's

1143
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: gonna give him anything remotely close to that. Chicago in

1144
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: Indianapolis seem to be the two destinations. And if Howie

1145
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Roseman wants the first round pit, Carson is abe who

1146
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: sit entice the Indianapolis Colts by throwing in zach Ertz

1147
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: as well, Because zach Ertz won't be the Philadelphia Eagles

1148
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one either. Yeah, and that And it's

1149
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: amazing that a team like the Philadelphia Eagles are willing

1150
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 1: to take a thirty four or thirty three million dollar

1151
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: cap hit for a guy that's no longer going to

1152
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: play with them. And how does the bonus, the ten

1153
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: million dollar roster bonus come into play in the trade deadline?

1154
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: Because it looks as though teams are going to sit back.

1155
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: Let the Philadelphia Eagles hit him with that ten million

1156
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: dollars roster bonus before where they make an attempt to

1157
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: trade him, trade for him? Does that speed up the process?

1158
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: After Philadelphia has paid that ten million, then is it

1159
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: more likely that it gets traded or less? Yeah, that

1160
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: makes it less. Philadelphia really needs to know sooner than

1161
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: the ten million dollars rostapon estate because after that that's

1162
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: a Philadelphia cap chard and then the dead money goes

1163
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: from thirty three eight to forty three eight. At that

1164
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: point it's cheaper to keep them. But phil needs to

1165
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: know sooner, not than later, so they can plan around.

1166
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: If which is going to be there, they plan one way.

1167
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: If once isn't, they plan another way. Certainly, so I

1168
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: can't see them eating ten million dollars in additional money.

1169
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: That's cash and cap in cap space just to trade

1170
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: him at that point, I'm like Carson, you wanted to

1171
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: go anywhere, but we're running a business. We're doing what's

1172
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: in our best center. It's always and our best centers

1173
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: now is to keep you What are some deals out

1174
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: there that you think other teams can learn from because

1175
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: they have been cap friendly or team friendly. I'm thinking

1176
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: about that Patrick Mahomes deal that that's team friendly for

1177
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: the first few years before Patrick really starts to get

1178
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: paid later in that deal. Are there other deals or

1179
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: maybe that deal specifically, that teams can learn from as

1180
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: we approach this twenty twenty one season where the cap

1181
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: is expected to be lower than usual and it could

1182
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: just go up, like you said, by by a couple

1183
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: million or whatever that number is over the next couple

1184
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: of years before we hit that twenty twenty four mark.

1185
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: That's going to be for any a quarterback taking the

1186
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: ten year Patrick Mahomes basically, this is my own contract

1187
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of my career, unless he's on the

1188
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady track of playing until he's four to five.

1189
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: Because this deal, his deal lasts longer than the cbaxar

1190
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: before his deal does got Presscott may go that round

1191
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: designs with the Cowboys all term. Basically, they think Kansas

1192
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: City this year, you want to do an agents shouldn't

1193
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: want to do because Travis Kelsey did an extension which

1194
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: was on the most movies seen that I would not

1195
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: recommended signing that. If I represented him and Chris Jon

1196
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: signed a he's taking the same cash as he would

1197
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: on his franchise tag signed a long term deal. Um.

1198
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: I think teams also learned from banking on the wrong

1199
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: quarterback because you see that Jared us already been traded in.

1200
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: Carson went out the door as well, Okay, Joe, we're

1201
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna re establish a better connection. You're popping

1202
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: in and out all of a sudden on your cell phone.

1203
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you a chance that our producer Jay

1204
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Harris going to cut the connection and then try and

1205
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 1: re establish that in a moment. And it's interesting stuff

1206
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: because we're talking about these quarterbacks, Maddie, and their importance

1207
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: to the franchises that they're with is immeasurable. You give

1208
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: these guys like Deshaun Watson, Carson Wentz these enormous deals

1209
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: and it doesn't always planned then and Jared Golf is

1210
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: another example, and he's seen that trade happen and then

1211
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford getting traded late in his career to a

1212
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: new team for the first time. I think clubs are

1213
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: more willing to do that kind of thing these days

1214
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. And I don't know what it is,

1215
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 1: but in decades past, you could not pry a good

1216
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,439
Speaker 1: quarterback away from the team, from any team at any price.

1217
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: And Joel, I know you're back with us. What do

1218
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: you think has changed about the NFL that has allowed

1219
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: so many good quarterbacks to change teams or become available

1220
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: even in a restricted cap year like we're seeing. Why

1221
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: has the league? Because for many, many decades you couldn't

1222
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: pry a good quarterback out of another team. Why has

1223
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: that changed? What's the difference? I don't deserve as much

1224
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: afraid of the unknown at quarterback is used to be

1225
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: in the past. An example of that a few years

1226
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: ago the Bears decided we're going to be up with

1227
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler, who had it from in this arm great

1228
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: talent that put altogether on the team. Is opposed to

1229
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: going with the Josh McCown, who when Cutler was played

1230
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: really well. So fear the unknown is what drove team

1231
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: made for quarterback is opposed to cutting ties sooner later.

1232
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: I think now you're seeing teams are willing to admit

1233
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: mistakes its position and move on and try to upgrade.

1234
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Is opposed to being tied to what they already have

1235
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: or not being afraid to explore the different options at

1236
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: the position. Joel, thanks so much for joining us. We

1237
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Joel Corey, CBS Sports, NFL contract to salary

1238
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: cappe expert. We appreciate your expertise and your insights. Thanks

1239
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: so much. And be safe during the pandemic and the

1240
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: rest of the winter storm that we're all suffering from.

1241
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: Thanks man. Thank you. Likewise, Joel Corey, CBS Sports, Mattie,

1242
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot in there, and he's right. The unknown

1243
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: doesn't scare teams as much as it used to, right.

1244
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to get better, it's best

1245
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: to start getting better. If you're gonna have to tear

1246
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: it down eventually, anyway, it's best to start it right

1247
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: now rather than wait till this quarterbacks contract is up.

1248
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: If he's no good or if he's not playing well. Yeah,

1249
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: I think what we've seen over the last couple of

1250
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: seasons with these big name players, whether their quarterbacks or

1251
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: other players who can really change a team getting moved

1252
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: to other teams, getting traded to other other teams, these

1253
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: big deals that we've been seeing. The NFL, in my mind,

1254
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: seems to be moving closer and closer to the NBA

1255
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: and deals and things like that. What we've been able

1256
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: to see over the last two seasons with some teams,

1257
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: and what we could see this season with some of

1258
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks who could move on to different teams as

1259
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: we approach the twenty twenty one season. Yeah, it's it's

1260
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun to watch. It was

1261
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: interesting that he was all over the Davis White and

1262
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins contract idiosyncrasies as well, that they're going to

1263
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: turn the bills. What they'll do is turn this year's

1264
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: salary for both those guys, half of it will become

1265
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: a bonus that will be paid March seventeenth, for theoretically,

1266
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 1: and then the other half of their salary goes in

1267
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: stays the same, and their capit gets cut in half

1268
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 1: for this season. And I that's two restructurings we didn't

1269
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: see coming. And if it happens, that's their bills are

1270
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:25,439
Speaker 1: under the cap already by five million bucks almost right,

1271
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be sitting pretty after that. So that's two

1272
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: restructures we didn't even know we're going to happen exactly.

1273
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: I was going to say, here goes Brandon being in

1274
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, in the next months, We're

1275
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: going to see him reworking things. We're going to see

1276
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: him working his magic what he's known to do. Why

1277
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: he is the GM of the Buffalo Bills. He is

1278
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: so good at things like that. I wouldn't be worried

1279
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: at all about that cap number if I was a

1280
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Bills fan, because Brandon means going to be able to

1281
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,439
Speaker 1: find a way to make it work. And I thought

1282
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 1: it was interesting what Joel Corey brought up was just

1283
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 1: how the Chiefs have been able to work with the

1284
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 1: salary cap and keep the top players that they have

1285
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: on their roster, and what they've been able to do

1286
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 1: as kind of like a blueprint for other teams, seeing

1287
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: how they've been able to rework deals, make deals, to

1288
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: have as much talent as they do on their team

1289
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 1: and continually every single year have top talent like that

1290
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: on their team. Seeing that as a blueprint, I thought

1291
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting and we could see more teams move

1292
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: to a model like the Chiefs have with some of

1293
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: those top players and the deals that they have with them.

1294
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: Or we're gonna take a break, we're gonna come back.

1295
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: And Maddie did a deep dive over the weekend into

1296
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: mock draft season and she did a little about who

1297
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: was drafting who and who people thought. And it's interesting

1298
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: because in mock draft season we get a chance to

1299
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: see what national reporters think about your team and who

1300
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: you're gonna take. I think it's really interesting. Maddie did

1301
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 1: a deep dive and that we're going to talk about that,

1302
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: and we're also going to get into the tweet sheet.

1303
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: You've been tweeting us about your thoughts on who you

1304
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: would give which Buffalo Bill you would give a new

1305
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: contract to this offseason and why. More of that coming

1306
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: up right after the breaks. Steve Tasker, Maddie glad Butt,

1307
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:09,799
Speaker 1: One Bills Drive, and we're coming to you on Buffalo

1308
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio presented by Kalida Health. This is One Bills Live.

1309
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,759
Speaker 1: Welcome back in One Bill's Live. Steeve Tasker, Maddie Glab

1310
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: We just had Joel Cory on the cap expert talking

1311
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: about the ins and outs of all the movement and

1312
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: free agency and the impending free agency season we're during

1313
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: this time of year. We call it all kinds of things,

1314
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: like the depths of the odd offseason, the deep dark.

1315
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: You know, nobody's in the building except us, right, and

1316
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: even the scouts are out of the building. There's nothing

1317
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: going on, as place is a waste land over here.

1318
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: But it is mock draft season and everybody's got and

1319
01:09:58,120 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: they're just starting to come out right, and they're all

1320
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: that couldn't be more wild guesses, But it's still fun

1321
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,719
Speaker 1: to look at. Mattie, you did a deep dive into

1322
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: this because I mean, everybody's got up. Well I don't,

1323
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:14,600
Speaker 1: but everybody who's important has a mock draft, and you

1324
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: kind of did a deep dive on what some of

1325
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: them are thinking about the Bills picks. Yeah. So I'll

1326
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: be tracking the mock drafts as we go through the

1327
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 1: month of February, in March and April all the way

1328
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: up until the draft. Right now, we've been doing them

1329
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: every like two weeks, and as we get closer to

1330
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: the draft, it'll probably once a week because there will

1331
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: be so many that are getting released every week. We

1332
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: are in the early stages of mock draft season, which

1333
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: is my favorite because these are just all over the place.

1334
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: Nobody has really whittled them down to a specific position

1335
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 1: or a player yet. Usually you see that as we

1336
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: get closer to the draft. Right now, I've tracked twenty

1337
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: i think, and I'll continue to track them throughout the week.

1338
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 1: So so far, we have people that think the Bills

1339
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,719
Speaker 1: are going to draft the number thirty pick. Let's remember

1340
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: that we've got the number thirty pick in the first round.

1341
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: A lot of people think that this could be a

1342
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: corner or a linebacker, or an edge rusher or an

1343
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,719
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. So it's kind of all over the place.

1344
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Right now. I'm going to scroll through my mock draft

1345
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 1: two point zero, which came out on Saturday, and a

1346
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: name that I've seen a couple of times is cornerback J. C.

1347
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Horne from South Carolina. Now, the Athletic thinks that we

1348
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:34,600
Speaker 1: could trade up to get J. C. Horne from South Carolina.

1349
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: I've seen him going at the number thirty spot a

1350
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: couple of other mock drafts, but the Athletic says we're

1351
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 1: going to trade up to number twenty one to get J. C.

1352
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Horne and give the Indianapolis Colts a couple picks. Another

1353
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 1: name that I've seen twice, which I cannot believe I've

1354
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: seen this position twice in the first round a running back, Steve.

1355
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 1: Do you think we are going to draft a running

1356
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: back in the first round? I do not. I don't

1357
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: think we are. But two big names have have mocked

1358
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: us a running back. Todd McShay and mel Kiper have

1359
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 1: mocked us choosing running back Naj Harris from Alabama with

1360
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,640
Speaker 1: that number thirty pick. That was a little bit surprising

1361
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 1: to me. So we'll see if mock drafts move away

1362
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: or move towards running backs. Another name that I've seen

1363
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 1: a couple of times. He is a Missouri grad, so

1364
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: go Miszoo linebacker Nick Bolton at that number thirty pick,

1365
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: and that is if Matt Milano did not come back

1366
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 1: to the Bills. So we have several linebackers that I've

1367
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: been seeing. Jabro Coax is another one, but that's in

1368
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 1: the second round of the draft. So there's been a

1369
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: couple that also go more than one round. I've seen

1370
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: one three round draft. Nflo dot COM's Chad Reuter has

1371
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: a three round draft for teams right now there, and

1372
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:04,520
Speaker 1: he says, we're going to choose offensive tackle Tevin Jenkins

1373
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma State with our number thirty pick number sixty one,

1374
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: We're going to take Jabril Cox, a linebacker from LSU.

1375
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: And with our ninety third pick in the draft, we're

1376
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: going to take an offensive guard, Quinn Minners Manners from

1377
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Whitewater. So these kind of go all over the place.

1378
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 1: I've seen Tevin Jenkins more than once, Naj Harris more

1379
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:35,440
Speaker 1: than once, a couple offensive tackles, a few different linebackers,

1380
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 1: an edge. Let's see PFFS mock draft from Ben Lindsay

1381
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: says we are going to take Jason I don't even

1382
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: know how to pronounce his last name, Jason Away from

1383
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,719
Speaker 1: Penn State. And that's the funny thing about these few

1384
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 1: couple mock drafts when we start seeing all these names coming.

1385
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 1: These are guys that a lot of us don't even

1386
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 1: know how to pronounce yet, but those pronounciation as the

1387
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 1: mock drafts go on, we'll start to learn how to

1388
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: say everybody's name as we get mocked certain players more

1389
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:11,759
Speaker 1: often than once. But yeah, pretty interesting to see what's

1390
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: going across the board so far. You know, every year,

1391
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: no matter where the Bills are, the last couple of seasons,

1392
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: we've been mocked offensive lineman and edge rushers in that

1393
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: first round. I think that's something that almost every team

1394
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: has in mock drafts, is an offensive lineman and an

1395
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: edge rusher because those positions are so important to teams

1396
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the time. But yeah, corner linebacker, offensive lineman,

1397
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:44,559
Speaker 1: edge rusher, and even running back we've seen being mocked

1398
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 1: to the Bills with that number thirty spot. Is there

1399
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: anything that sticks out to you as you kind of

1400
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: scroll through the two mock drafts that I've done so far. Now,

1401
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: now I think for me, I don't think they're going

1402
01:14:56,320 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: to go with when they've gotten such good Miley out

1403
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: of you know, their mid round picks, particularly Matt Matt Milano.

1404
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're gonna jump. I certainly don't

1405
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna take a running back at thirtieth overall,

1406
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,599
Speaker 1: and now I could see him. One of the mock

1407
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: drafts has us trading up. You know, Brandon Bean's done

1408
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: that a ton. They had him trading up to get

1409
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 1: a corner like they did with Tardavious White. They traded

1410
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: all the way. They traded up to get Turdevious, and

1411
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 1: they'll you know, they and they traded up to get

1412
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds. I think they may do that to get

1413
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 1: a guy that they like. I don't know that it'll

1414
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 1: be a corner, but I do think it will be

1415
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 1: one of three positions. A corner, a defensive lineman, pass rusher,

1416
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: or an offensive lineman, a tackle or a guard. They may,

1417
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: depending on what happens with Darryl Williams and John Feliciano,

1418
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 1: they may try and refurbish the offensive line with a

1419
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: high pick at right tackle or a high pick at guard.

1420
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: If they lose Feliciano and resign Darryl Williams, you know,

1421
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: it becomes obvious they'll pick a guard instead of a tackle,

1422
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But they need a quality offensive lineman,

1423
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 1: they need a quality depth on the defensive line. They

1424
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: need a difference maker on the defensive line. I think

1425
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 1: I don't know that they'll be able to get that.

1426
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:23,759
Speaker 1: Picking thirtieth in the draft. Yeah, that's kind of exactly

1427
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,599
Speaker 1: where mind goes, is my mind goes as well. I mean,

1428
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to get an elite pass

1429
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:33,639
Speaker 1: rusher at that number thirty spot, I just don't think

1430
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 1: that exists. I think that exists depending on what the

1431
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: draft classes, and if it's known for pass rushers, let's say,

1432
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 1: or like last year it was known for wide receivers,

1433
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: you could get wide receivers beyond the first round. But

1434
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 1: I think pass rushers are kind of very unique. There's

1435
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 1: not a lot of them. You can pick maybe two

1436
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 1: or three of them every draft that can start right

1437
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: off the bat, but those don't exist in the number

1438
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 1: thirty window that we're pick in. I also think about

1439
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 1: the linebacker position too and think, Okay, if we don't

1440
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: get Matt Milano, can you find a linebacker at number

1441
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,719
Speaker 1: thirty who's going to be able to replace Matt Milano

1442
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 1: in his first season in the NFL. That's something that

1443
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: I also question a little bit. Matt Milano offers so

1444
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: much to the Buffalo Bills, and I don't think you

1445
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,759
Speaker 1: can replace that with a rookie at pick number thirty.

1446
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: So I wonder if offensive line is going to be

1447
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper at number thirty. I haven't started

1448
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: to do as much reading or looking into what's what's

1449
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: the heavy position this year that you can get a

1450
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: quality player at in number thirty or in the late twenties. Yeah,

1451
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: you'll be able to get an athlete now to replace

1452
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, and it will. It's true this is early

1453
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,600
Speaker 1: in mock draft season, so free agency's going to have

1454
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 1: a lot to say. Like, for instance, when the Bills

1455
01:17:56,680 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 1: brought in Vernon Butler, Mario Addison, Quentin Jefferson last year

1456
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: in the free agency, you knew they probably wouldn't spend

1457
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: too much draft capital on the defensive line, but then

1458
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,799
Speaker 1: Agapanessa comes in as well. They mean they were committed

1459
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 1: to fixing it. If they have that kind of commitment

1460
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 1: this year and free agency, they may shy away from

1461
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: in the draft, and that would free up a thirty pick,

1462
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: a thirtieth overall pick for an athlete who they think

1463
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: can replace Matt Milano, a guy who's much better, faster athletic.

1464
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 1: Mulano dropped to the fifth round for a reason. Was

1465
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 1: it was athleticism. His instincts and football IQ are off

1466
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: the charts. I mean, the guys always where he's supposed

1467
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,639
Speaker 1: to be. But I think athletically you can find guys

1468
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 1: maybe to run faster than him. Or all that, but

1469
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: the guy's a football player. Athletically, you can get a

1470
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: guy who will match Milano, but will he have the instincts?

1471
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: Will he be able to step on like Milano did

1472
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: early in his career and boom, presto chango, he's playing

1473
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: at an all pro Pro Bowl level. Milano did that

1474
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: really early in his career. That may be the real,

1475
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, the real problem. They may be able to

1476
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: find a guy that looks the part. You know, when

1477
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: you when you see him run, when you see him jump,

1478
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 1: and when you see his athleticism. He may look the part,

1479
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 1: but can he play football like Matt Milano was able to? Um,

1480
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: that's the real question mark, because Milana was just the opposite. Um.

1481
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: He's not oversized. He's like under two thirty as a

1482
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:28,799
Speaker 1: linebacker in the NFL. You know, that's a little small.

1483
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 1: But man o, man, the guy played big, he got around,

1484
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 1: and he made play. So I think physically they'll be

1485
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 1: able to find a guy to replace him. But man o, man,

1486
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: the production was there, and that's that's something that I

1487
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: don't think, even at the thirtieth pick of the draft,

1488
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 1: you can replace so easily like this guy that you

1489
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: said the linebacker from LSU Jabril Cox. Um. He probably

1490
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: checks a lot of the physical boxes that Matt Milano didn't.

1491
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: Probably just as fast and as athletic, and probably a

1492
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: hair bigger. But that doesn't mean he's going to be

1493
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 1: more productive. I think, like I said, Maddie high in

1494
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: this draft for the Bills, unless they move up, move up,

1495
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:12,679
Speaker 1: move down, move sideways, that kind of thing. I think

1496
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: this is a draft where they go number two corner,

1497
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, defensive lineman. Because of the way their contracts

1498
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: fell in the free agency, they tent may lose or

1499
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: not lose during free agency. So that's where I'm at.

1500
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm still there. I'm still there. I still think it's

1501
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:31,759
Speaker 1: a corner or a D lineman, offensive lineman. I'm not wavering.

1502
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: And let's also remember that Brandon Bean likes to go

1503
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: into the free agency and address his needs in the

1504
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: free agency. He doesn't want to go into the draft

1505
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: still having needs on the table. Brandon Bean has talked

1506
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: about when I go into the draft, I want to

1507
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: draft wants. I don't want to draft needs. I want

1508
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:55,560
Speaker 1: to have those holes filled already. And you talk about Agapanessa.

1509
01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 1: We didn't necessarily think that the Bills were going to

1510
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: draft a player like aj Epenessa in that second round,

1511
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 1: but they did because he fell to the second round.

1512
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: So that's another thing that you can't really predict. Once

1513
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft begins, you don't know who's going to

1514
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: drop out of what round, you don't know who's going

1515
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: to be available, and at the end of the day,

1516
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 1: we have no idea how their board is going to

1517
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: look like, with how they grade those players, and it'll

1518
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 1: come down too. Like a lot of people have. We've

1519
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:30,639
Speaker 1: talked because of the cap, mostly about Vernon Butler, Quinton Jefferson,

1520
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: Mario Addison being these guys they signed last year to

1521
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, middle of the road contracts but still you know,

1522
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: ten million dollar contracts and those kind of things. They're

1523
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 1: they're big numbers on the on the hit, they're right

1524
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 1: around within two million dollars of ten millions. They're eight

1525
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: to twelve million bucks a year for those guys. A

1526
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 1: lot of people said, Dan, I don't know if they're

1527
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 1: you know, if they're going to be worth that. A

1528
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:52,759
Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with how the Bills

1529
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,679
Speaker 1: feel about those guys. Did they play better or worse

1530
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: than people just casual watchers like us, Did they play

1531
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: better or work than we thought they should do? The

1532
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 1: coaching are the coaches happier with Butler, Addison, Jefferson, Epinezza

1533
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: at Oliver? Are they happier with those guys than we are.

1534
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: That's a big question mark as well, because if they

1535
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: come in and don't sign any defensive lineman or anybody

1536
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: in the in the free agent market, that may tell

1537
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:20,759
Speaker 1: us about how Say, listen, they may like those guys

1538
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: better than we do. They may be okay with the

1539
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:27,640
Speaker 1: guys they've got, But you're right, Maddie, if you go

1540
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 1: to the draft with a glaring need on your roster,

1541
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in deep trouble because rarely do you

1542
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 1: get the exact guy that's going to fill that need

1543
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: right exactly. And the way that this team grades players

1544
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: is so different than how other teams grade players. This

1545
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: team puts a lot of emphasis and importance on the

1546
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: character of players. Some other teams don't put that type

1547
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:55,600
Speaker 1: of importance on a draft grade based on how a

1548
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 1: guy does his interviewer, based on how a guy looks

1549
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 1: as a teammate, and things like that. But right now,

1550
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: mock draft season, we are in the wide open spaces.

1551
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: There are draft picks over here, draft picks over there,

1552
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:12,080
Speaker 1: from running back to offensive linemen. We're seeing it all

1553
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: in these first two and as we approach free agency

1554
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 1: and get through free agency, I think we're going to

1555
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 1: start to see the positions look very similar as a

1556
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: mock draft start to come out after free agency. Maddie

1557
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,639
Speaker 1: glabs Steve Tasker here till three o'clock. We we're gonna

1558
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: get to the tweet sheet. We'll take a couple of

1559
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 1: tweet sheets right now. We'll read a couple of them

1560
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 1: right now. But this mock draft stuff is fascinating. He's

1561
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 1: gonna and we're gonna keep coming back to it every

1562
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 1: week at least, because I mean, if there's one thing

1563
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: the sports media in the United States can do, it's

1564
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 1: churnout NFL mock drafts. Everybody's got one, So we're gonna

1565
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: keep revisiting this as well. And Maddie, I know that

1566
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep your keep your finger in that in

1567
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 1: that pie a lot, because yeah, it's a never ending

1568
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: stream of mock drafts. It's going to be fun and

1569
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 1: some of them are absolutely outlandish, So yeah, never it's

1570
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: not beyond us to ridicule and humiliate guys who come

1571
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 1: up and have the Bills picking whatever a quarterback at

1572
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,560
Speaker 1: thirtieth or something like that. So all right, here we go.

1573
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 1: So from the tweet sheet, number thirty and filling the

1574
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 1: needs of the Bills roster to get him ready to

1575
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 1: draft some of these guys. We're asking you, our listeners,

1576
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,600
Speaker 1: who would you give a new contract to this offseason

1577
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 1: and why? Who has to have a deal done this

1578
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: offseason and why? And we start from the tweet sheet,

1579
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: and the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1580
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:42,759
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. From Frankie,

1581
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,640
Speaker 1: he starts us off. He says, definitely John Feliciano, the

1582
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: dude loves Alan and would protect him with his life.

1583
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 1: We talked you and I both said that exact same thing.

1584
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: That was the guy that we thought was the most

1585
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 1: important because of the emotional content he brings to the

1586
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: offensive side of the football. And I know there's a

1587
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:02,799
Speaker 1: lot of people out there that share that. From Alex

1588
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, I would give Stefan Diggs a raise.

1589
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs got three years left on his deal. That's

1590
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: a little that's a little early in the in the

1591
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: party for me to redo his deal. They gave him

1592
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: a three million dollar raise when they signed him, So

1593
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:21,639
Speaker 1: there's that they already gave him a raise. And I

1594
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 1: think one of the things I said this, I was

1595
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 1: standing on the chair on the table for this deal

1596
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: when they got Steph Diggs from Minnesota. The reason that

1597
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: it worked with the Bills because they gave him so

1598
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 1: many drafts They had four picks for Steph Diggs. One

1599
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: of the reasons it worked for me was very simple

1600
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: was this contract. He had four years left on a

1601
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: deal that was just you know, twelve or thirteen or

1602
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 1: ten or eleven, twelve, thirteen million dollars a year, and

1603
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: he came in and was the best receiver in the

1604
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 1: league with catches and yards. That's a bargain and I'm

1605
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm all about giving up that kind a draft capital

1606
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:02,759
Speaker 1: for a guy that gives you that kind of production

1607
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 1: for this price. That's what makes the deal completely gold

1608
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. Yes, his production does, but it's

1609
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 1: the money they're paying him. He signed his second this

1610
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: is his second contract. This is his home run, and

1611
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 1: the Bills gave him a raise to get him here.

1612
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: And it's still a bargain for the Bills. So I think,

1613
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 1: you know, for the Bills, another year maybe two on

1614
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,760
Speaker 1: this deal, and they'll start extending him and talking to

1615
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 1: him about giving him a big raise, and he'll, no doubt,

1616
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: if he keeps this up, he's gonna more than earn.

1617
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:34,720
Speaker 1: If he has another year like this after this, you know,

1618
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,679
Speaker 1: next year, then I'd say, yeah, even with two years

1619
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 1: left on the deal, maybe give him a raise. But

1620
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,599
Speaker 1: for right now, I think he's right where you need

1621
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: him to be. For me, I'm step no question. The

1622
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 1: guy's awesome. I mean, we all love him and he's

1623
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,679
Speaker 1: an enormous part of the Bill's success. But I think

1624
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: right now he's exactly the kind of guy who's perfect

1625
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: for the club. It's both perfect for him and for

1626
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:02,759
Speaker 1: the club. I mean, do you you get what I mean, Maddie. Yeah.

1627
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 1: I think Stefan Diggs completely deserves the Raids based on

1628
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: how he played this season. But he just finished his

1629
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 1: first season with the Buffalo Bills. Give him one more season,

1630
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 1: maybe two. Like you said, I want to see what

1631
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 1: he's able to do in his second season, in that

1632
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:20,760
Speaker 1: chemistry growth that he will have with Josh Allen. I

1633
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 1: think about Cole Beasley and Josh Allen together from year

1634
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: one to year two and how Cole Beasley grew even

1635
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: more in his second year with the Buffalo Bills. I

1636
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 1: would expect something like that out of Stefan Diggs just

1637
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: knowing how well he played in his first season and

1638
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,640
Speaker 1: knowing what his ceiling. I don't even know what this

1639
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 1: guy's ceiling is. I just know his ceiling is big.

1640
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: Maybe there isn't even a ceiling for him. I think

1641
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 1: he can turn it on and improve in in many

1642
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 1: different ways with this team for next season as Josh

1643
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:53,759
Speaker 1: Allen and him continue to work on their connections together,

1644
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 1: and I think it will pay off in dividends and

1645
01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: a lot of dollar signs for Stefan Diggs in the future. Yeah,

1646
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, and I would agree where

1647
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: it was time to take a break, we're don't we

1648

1665
01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:00,680

1666
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed watching you play. That was really good.

1667
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, you deserve to be in there, so

1668
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: your times you're gonna get in Okay, thanks. I want

1669
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 1: to see that over the you know, the field goals

1670
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:15,600
Speaker 1: when you get to like whether like in Buffalo and

1671
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay and things like that, Why haven't they thought

1672
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 1: about maybe going to laser beams coming off the goal

1673
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 1: posts and boxing in that zone. So that you see

1674
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 1: a lot of times when the judges are looking and

1675
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 1: they look at each other and they're not quite sure

1676
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:34,519
Speaker 1: on the bad angle, if that thing's gone through the

1677
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:36,719
Speaker 1: uprights or not. And there's so much on the line,

1678
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 1: why haven't they thought about maybe trying to go to that. Well,

1679
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 1: here's what the reason those officials look at each other

1680
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 1: is because they both want to give the same signal.

1681
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 1: And if the kick is near one of the uprights,

1682
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 1: or if it goes over the top of one of

1683
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 1: the up rights, the guy who's got the close call

1684
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: has got the best angle, and he looks up. He

1685
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 1: watched it go over, He looks over and he tells

1686
01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 1: the other guy what it's going to be and they

1687
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 1: both give the same sig. So if the guy on

1688
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:03,800
Speaker 1: the other side doesn't say it looked real, that's why

1689
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 1: they look at each other. It's not because you know,

1690
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing too, And you're right, the

1691
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 1: lasers thing is is a great idea. That's why they

1692
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 1: extended the top of the goal post. And to begin with,

1693
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 1: and here's what a lot of people don't understand that

1694
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:22,759
Speaker 1: after the ball goes over the top of the goal post,

1695
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 1: goal the way to make a kick is actually wider

1696
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:30,599
Speaker 1: above the goalpost than it is between the goal post,

1697
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 1: because what the rule is this, if the top of

1698
01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: the pipe of the goal post comes up and the ball,

1699
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:41,440
Speaker 1: the edge of the ball just grazes even the outside

1700
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:43,880
Speaker 1: of that pipe, or if it goes or if the

1701
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 1: official thinks that the ball would have glanced off, even

1702
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 1: if it would have glanced off the outside of the

1703
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:53,080
Speaker 1: pipe as it goes over the top of it, it's good.

1704
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 1: It's good. The ball has to be completely clear of

1705
01:30:57,439 --> 01:31:00,600
Speaker 1: the outside edge of those pipes to be no good

1706
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:04,759
Speaker 1: above the pipe, gotcha, Yeah, yeah, okay, that makes sense.

1707
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:07,720
Speaker 1: And I had one every thing, and this year is

1708
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:12,080
Speaker 1: that it's uh, it's come to where the rough coaches

1709
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 1: rather are wearing the mask on the sidelines. And uh,

1710
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 1: I've actually contacted motor Roll of years ago when you

1711
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 1: guys were using motor role on the sidelines and uh,

1712
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 1: now you switch manufacturers. But they had a square box

1713
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: that was about four inches by four inches and it

1714
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 1: was snap back, removable, concave, and so that I called

1715
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 1: the mouth guard, and that what it would do, it

1716
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:39,920
Speaker 1: would cover the coaches mouth while he was talking, so

1717
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:42,160
Speaker 1: he didn't have to keep putting the game chart up

1718
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 1: in front of the space, and Casey forgot to do it,

1719
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 1: and uh it covered the mouth at all costs and

1720
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:50,839
Speaker 1: in bad weather. But it also was to stop signaling,

1721
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 1: and uh I had that, and I just wondered whether

1722
01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 1: it's never gone something like that now that you get

1723
01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: the mask, now, well, nobody. Here's the thing. The reason

1724
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:02,479
Speaker 1: guys put their play sheet up on their mouth is

1725
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 1: and you can laugh, but it's true. So nobody lip

1726
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 1: reads their verbiage, right, that's what That's why I called

1727
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 1: them moltar so right. It would stop them seeing the lips,

1728
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 1: their lips moving on what they're saying. That the idea. Yeah,

1729
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 1: I think the NFL is less interested in having people

1730
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,880
Speaker 1: lip read the signals than they are about just functionality

1731
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:25,599
Speaker 1: and money. Yeah. No, I just thought maybe the actual

1732
01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 1: the teams would take it on, you know, thinking that's

1733
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:29,559
Speaker 1: the way to go, you know what I mean? Yeah, maybe,

1734
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's that's a good, good call. Than Glenn.

1735
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: Thank Glenn, Thanks good call. I appreciate you. That's that's good.

1736
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: Take care of yourself, all right, you too, Bye bye?

1737
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 1: All right. I get I don't know, I don't know

1738
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: how to there we go. I think that's all right,

1739
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 1: here we go. What do you think, Maddie, laser beams

1740
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 1: on top of the goal posts the way that you

1741
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a good idea, of right.

1742
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 1: If your cake is going above where the gold posts are,

1743
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,320
Speaker 1: you have a better shot at making the field goal.

1744
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 1: It extends it a little bit for you, maybe just

1745
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 1: a hair, but it's it's enough to make more kicks

1746
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:11,640
Speaker 1: when they go above those two goal posts. So they

1747
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 1: could put the goal. They could put the laser on

1748
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 1: the outside edge of the pipe and if the if

1749
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 1: the ball flies over and the light flashes on the

1750
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:23,960
Speaker 1: edge of the ball, it's good, right, that's it. Now,

1751
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:27,559
Speaker 1: somebody says, somebody who's saying that, maybe it's because an

1752
01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 1: airplane it would be safe because airplanes flying over would

1753
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:32,200
Speaker 1: have lasers shooting up out of the you know you're

1754
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 1: talking about like a laser pointer. I mean, that's all

1755
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 1: it would take, right, So I don't know, it's a

1756
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:42,639
Speaker 1: good idea. We'll see, they'll they'll change it sooner or later.

1757
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,760
Speaker 1: They got pilot, they got cameras in the pylons for

1758
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 1: crying out loud. Certainly they can have laser pointers on

1759
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 1: the outside of the goal post. Right, Yeah, I was

1760
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna say, lasers may not be that far off with

1761
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:55,360
Speaker 1: the type of technology we've seen the NFL adopt over

1762
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 1: the last five years. All Right, well, that's enough of that.

1763

Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna take a break. Ruben Brown, friend

1767
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:11,240
Speaker 1: guy that should be in the Hall of Fame. This

1768
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:14,320

Speaker 1: Ruben Brown, who's a Buffalo Bill from nineteen ninety five

1781
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 1: to two thousand and three, played in nine Pro Bowls

1782

Speaker 1: during his career. He also played for the Chicago Bears

1783
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: from two thousand and four to two thousand and seven.

1784

1786
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, anyway, congratulations on that, Ruben. Thanks

1787
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 1: for coming on with us. Moving along with Mattie. I

1788
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:39,240
Speaker 1: had to get after him during the break. Rubin played

1789
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:42,200
Speaker 1: for the Bears and Maddie obviously grew up in Chicago.

1790
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 1: Had to tell him that I shnay that Bears talk,

1791
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:49,400
Speaker 1: but I will say this, you both were dog of

1792
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:52,840
Speaker 1: the Bears decision making year after year. That was the

1793
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 1: tenor of your conversation. Uh, and they're still in the

1794
01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: they're in the we may as well talk about it.

1795
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:06,920
Speaker 1: What are they going to do at quarterback? Oh? Yeah, no, No,

1796
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:09,759
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want it because they have a mess.

1797
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 1: That's basically what they have. Um, they don't know who

1798
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 1: they want at quarterback. I think that's the main problem.

1799
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:18,800
Speaker 1: They haven't made a decision and say, hey, this is

1800
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 1: our guy. We're gonna get behind it and build the

1801
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:24,240
Speaker 1: team around that. They've kind of you know, I like

1802
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:26,680
Speaker 1: this guy, but I like another guy, you know, the

1803
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 1: type thing. So we'll see how it develops. Um, they

1804
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:32,760
Speaker 1: just have to make a commitment to one they've they

1805
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:37,720
Speaker 1: looked at. They've been reporters being in the Carson Wentz sweepstakes,

1806
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:41,760
Speaker 1: although both the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears are

1807
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 1: listed as the top suitors, but both those teams are

1808
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:47,240
Speaker 1: saying listening, you know, the guy's coming off his worst season.

1809
01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:49,280
Speaker 1: He's nicked up, he's got an injury, and you know

1810
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:52,040
Speaker 1: his confidence is shot, and he want us to, you know,

1811
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:54,240
Speaker 1: get a thirty five million dollar hit for that guy.

1812
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 1: We're not giving you anything for him. We'll take him,

1813
01:36:57,560 --> 01:36:59,439
Speaker 1: but we're not going to give you two ones or

1814
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, one in a two or one and two

1815
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 1: twos that kind of thing. Plus you got a salary

1816
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:07,639
Speaker 1: roster bonus of ten million bucks a guy. We got

1817
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 1: to give the guy before he ever takes a snap.

1818
01:37:10,040 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things holding up. The process

1819
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia was getting rid of a guy like

1820
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. But Chicago has been linked to those talks

1821
01:37:17,240 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 1: and them in the Indianapolis Colts seem like obvious destinations.

1822
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:24,800
Speaker 1: I know it looks like it, but I don't think

1823
01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 1: the Bears are in a position to really do anything.

1824
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:32,800
Speaker 1: What do you think, Maddie, Yeah, I mean I don't

1825
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:35,920
Speaker 1: know how Carson Wentz solves your problem at all. I mean,

1826
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 1: you tried with Nick Foles. Did that work? No? It didn't.

1827
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:42,240
Speaker 1: You've tried with Mitch Trubisky. Has that worked? Know? It

1828
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:45,000
Speaker 1: really hasn't. Does he have a system around him that

1829
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:48,040
Speaker 1: allows him to have success? I don't think so. They

1830
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:50,639
Speaker 1: decide to call plays over and over again that don't

1831
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:53,840
Speaker 1: that don't fit what type of quarterback he is, and

1832
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:55,800
Speaker 1: when they do, you see him have success and then

1833
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,280
Speaker 1: they move away from it again. I just think there's

1834
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 1: a mess beyond a mess of what type of offense

1835
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:03,960
Speaker 1: are you leading here? What type of decisions are you

1836
01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:07,519
Speaker 1: making from the GM to the president, to the head

1837
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:10,400
Speaker 1: coach to the offensive coordinator. I mean, there's a lot

1838
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 1: of things that have to be fixed. I think the

1839
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:16,759
Speaker 1: only one thing that is strong and you can stand

1840
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 1: by is their defense. They're going to get some of

1841
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: that help back going into this upcoming season. We saw

1842
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 1: some guys sit out because of COVID nineteen. So I

1843
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:29,040
Speaker 1: think the defense is their one strength. And I feel

1844
01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 1: bad for the defense because you're wasting away a great

1845
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:35,720
Speaker 1: defense because you can't figure out your offense. And here

1846
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 1: we are going into your four and five of question

1847
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:41,679
Speaker 1: marks all over the place. Mitch Drubisky is not your answer.

1848
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:43,760
Speaker 1: You have to move on from him. But you can't

1849
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:45,720
Speaker 1: get a guy like Carson Wentz and think that this

1850
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:48,400
Speaker 1: is all going to be solved, because it's not. This

1851
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:50,559
Speaker 1: is so goodys, because everyone's well to take a break

1852
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:52,639
Speaker 1: from our Bills talk and talk about somebody else who

1853
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:54,880
Speaker 1: seems to have even more problems than the Bills. It's

1854
01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:56,639
Speaker 1: just so nice. We haven't been there for a while,

1855
01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 1: and now the Bills, you know, with the kind of season,

1856
01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:01,479
Speaker 1: the years they're putting together back to back, it's nice

1857
01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 1: to take a fourier from the Bills situation and go.

1858
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:11,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, guys, the Buffalo Bills and the Chicago Bears,

1859
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 1: the cities themselves sports wise, they seem like cousins relatives

1860
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:21,040
Speaker 1: I've known when I went to Chicago. It was such

1861
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:25,680
Speaker 1: an easy transition into the Chicago Bearer family, you know,

1862
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:29,599
Speaker 1: because the Bear fans in the community is very similar

1863
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, and Maddie, I'm wondering, what's your experience, because

1864
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 1: you're coming from the opposite direction to Buffalo. But do

1865
01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:41,480
Speaker 1: you see that similarity at all with Buffalo and Chicago. Oh, definitely,

1866
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:43,600
Speaker 1: I see it in the fans, and I see it

1867
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 1: just in the structure of the city. A lot of

1868
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,840
Speaker 1: people call Buffalo a small Chicago just because of the

1869
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:50,800
Speaker 1: food that you can get in Buffalo that you can

1870
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 1: also get in Chicago, and just all the ethnicities that

1871
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:56,800
Speaker 1: you can find in Buffalo. And I completely agree with that.

1872
01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 1: Some of the neighborhoods that you have, you can you

1873
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 1: can find your talent, you can find your Greek food

1874
01:40:01,360 --> 01:40:04,120
Speaker 1: that is authentic and real, just like you can find

1875
01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:08,480
Speaker 1: in Chicago. And the fan bases. There are some passionate

1876
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:12,200
Speaker 1: fans in Chicago and there are some passionate fans, maybe

1877
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:15,439
Speaker 1: even more passionate in Buffalo. I feel like the fan

1878
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:18,559
Speaker 1: bases are so similar. Bills Mafia is way better than

1879
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: Chicago fans in general. I will admit that the Bills

1880
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:25,559
Speaker 1: Mafia is the top of the tier. But you have

1881
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,800
Speaker 1: you have two big sports cities. You got your NHL teams,

1882
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 1: you got your NFL teams. Chicago has a couple more

1883
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,599
Speaker 1: professional teams than that, but you have people who were

1884
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 1: born and raised to love sports and to cheer for

1885
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 1: their teams. Yes, they are all about those teams in Chicago.

1886
01:40:42,240 --> 01:40:44,439
Speaker 1: You being a what were you a Cubs fan of

1887
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:49,320
Speaker 1: our white side? Oh yeah, Cubs fans. I bled Covey Blue.

1888
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 1: So it was amazing to see them do that in

1889
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 1: twenty sixteens still still waiting the Bills for the Bills

1890
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,080
Speaker 1: to do that, hopefully in the next season or so,

1891
01:40:57,280 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 1: make it to the Super Bowl and get that win.

1892
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:01,960
Speaker 1: This coming, it's coming. I feel like it's coming. They

1893
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 1: figure out how to get the running game going, and

1894
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 1: I think the Bills will be right there contending. I mean,

1895
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:11,400
Speaker 1: they were right there this year, so you know, if

1896
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:14,440
Speaker 1: they can bring back the cores and keep that momentum,

1897
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 1: we could be looking at Steve Tasker, Maddie Glab along

1898
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:20,160
Speaker 1: with Ruben Brown here on One Bill's Live, where you thought,

1899
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:22,479
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Bills running game a little bit. Ruben,

1900
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 1: he played guard, you were all pro you went to

1901
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: nine Pro Bowls. You had led a great running attack

1902
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:29,680
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. You went to Chicago and did the

1903
01:41:29,720 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 1: same thing there, got to a Super Bowl with those guys.

1904
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 1: The Bills had said in their Brandon Being said in

1905
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:39,439
Speaker 1: his postseason pressed wrap up that the Bills need to

1906
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 1: run the ball better, not more, but better, and I

1907
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, so, what are your thoughts on what it

1908
01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:47,000
Speaker 1: takes to run and what the Bills have to do

1909
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,640
Speaker 1: to run the ball better, What their commitment should be,

1910
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:51,559
Speaker 1: What level of commitment should they have to it in

1911
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:53,679
Speaker 1: the league that's throwing the football all over the yard.

1912
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:56,320
Speaker 1: Where does the run game fit in a really good offense?

1913
01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that and where the Bills

1914
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: stand Well, the first way to improve your running game

1915
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,720
Speaker 1: is actually do it. You know, you have to have

1916
01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:10,840
Speaker 1: the attempts. You have to give your offensive line and

1917
01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 1: your running backs an opportunity to you know, figure it out,

1918
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:17,680
Speaker 1: figure out the system, figure out what you want. Man,

1919
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:21,400
Speaker 1: We'll figure out what am I best doing. And also

1920
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 1: so the coaching staff can see, hey, we're better at

1921
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 1: running inside place. Hey we're running better at running outside place.

1922
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:32,840
Speaker 1: So we'll pair those along with all the other things

1923
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:36,480
Speaker 1: that we have in our passing games so that it's

1924
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 1: effective when we decide to do it, not opposed to

1925
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: just lining up and trying to smash mouth that those

1926
01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:47,840
Speaker 1: days are gone. You're gonna need a little misdirection or

1927
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:51,599
Speaker 1: trickery or window dressing is what we used to call it.

1928
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:58,000
Speaker 1: But you can definitely improve by just doing it. I

1929
01:42:58,040 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 1: don't know what the stats were this year on how

1930
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 1: many actual attempts. I know Josh practically lad all rushers

1931
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 1: and running row this year. That's your quarterback. Those aren't

1932
01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:13,000
Speaker 1: design runs, those are breakdowns in the passing game. So

1933
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 1: how many times did the Bills actually decide to hand

1934
01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:19,680
Speaker 1: it off to a running back or a fullback or

1935
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:23,120
Speaker 1: someone in the backfield other than the quarterback. Now, I

1936
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 1: know there's some running with the quarterback miss direction and

1937
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 1: he takes off with it, but I don't count that

1938
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:32,479
Speaker 1: as part of your running game. I count that as

1939
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 1: an addition to the running game. Something to change up

1940
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: your running game. If you know, Josh decides to keep

1941
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 1: the ball and run with it, opposed to handing it

1942
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 1: off to one of the guys. Singletary and those guys

1943
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:49,519
Speaker 1: right out of the backfield, and I would say that's

1944
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:54,400
Speaker 1: where you start, Steve, You really just start where did

1945
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:57,600
Speaker 1: mar say? Keep it simple? I mean, just do the

1946
01:43:57,640 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 1: simple thing of attempting and and you'll build from there, right,

1947
01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:05,479
Speaker 1: And that's and you're right, it does take some game

1948
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 1: reps to get that stuff under your belt, not only

1949
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:10,400
Speaker 1: for in the running game, but also in the passing game.

1950
01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 1: And I there's no doubt that there were games when,

1951
01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 1: for instance, off the top of my head, I remember

1952
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 1: the Seattle game here in Buffalo. After the game, Pete

1953
01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:23,559
Speaker 1: Carroll kind of admitted he said, at least we thought,

1954
01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 1: we thought at least they would try to run the

1955
01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 1: football against us, and that the Bills didn't. They just

1956
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:30,160
Speaker 1: said we're not going to do it. They threw it

1957
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:33,000
Speaker 1: fifty plus times in that game, and of course they

1958
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:35,880
Speaker 1: won easily and look really good doing it. But that's

1959
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,599
Speaker 1: the kind of the way, you know, that's the way

1960
01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 1: the game goes, or at least at that point. But

1961
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:43,680
Speaker 1: you're right, where do you think it starts? Now? For

1962
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:47,240
Speaker 1: the Bill situation. Two years ago, they draft Devin Singletary,

1963
01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 1: third round draft pick. This last year they draft Zach Moss,

1964
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 1: third round draft pick. And I know you agree with me,

1965
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:59,000
Speaker 1: everything starts up front. But how much does a like

1966
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:02,240
Speaker 1: a running back, a great running back help an offensive

1967
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 1: line in the long run, is it? Because I think

1968
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:08,479
Speaker 1: it's still all about the offensive line, not the running back.

1969
01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:10,720
Speaker 1: But maybe in a tough spot or maybe to get

1970
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:13,800
Speaker 1: things started, a good running back will maybe help you

1971
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: find yourself a little quicker. It starts up front. Yeah,

1972
01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, no disrespect to all the great running backs

1973
01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:25,920
Speaker 1: that ever ran in You know the answer, Thurman Thomas.

1974
01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:29,639
Speaker 1: He'll tell you how easy it was when the line

1975
01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:33,240
Speaker 1: was a cohesive unit and they worked really well together.

1976
01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 1: It made his job even better and it made him

1977
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:40,920
Speaker 1: even more imposing. So we have to always start up front.

1978
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 1: That's where the game begins with the offensive lineman. And

1979
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at since they drafted at the running

1980
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:52,759
Speaker 1: back position, I mean this year when the draft comes around,

1981
01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:56,519
Speaker 1: I'm I'm hoping. I'm sure they're definitely looking at all

1982
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 1: of the offensive line. I mean, right now this year

1983
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:02,160
Speaker 1: in the draft, if young offensive lineman, you should be drew.

1984
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: There's tons of them. There's tons of them. Um. They

1985
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:10,639
Speaker 1: play more of a pro style offense these days, so

1986
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 1: it'll probably be easier to transition these guys into UM um,

1987
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:23,879
Speaker 1: starting positions or contributing positions right off the bat. But um,

1988
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to ensure with more depth at that

1989
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: position and in cohesion. And uh, I don't know that

1990
01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 1: they will be able to sign the return all of

1991
01:46:35,320 --> 01:46:39,440
Speaker 1: the free agent linemen that they have. Is that a possibility?

1992
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:42,719
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Who do you guys

1993
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:45,599
Speaker 1: think they'll be able to sign it? Where we had

1994
01:46:45,640 --> 01:46:52,240
Speaker 1: two free agent guards right three, I think, but Kurt

1995
01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:56,799
Speaker 1: Brian Winters and then uh John Feliciano as well, So

1996
01:46:57,600 --> 01:47:03,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to actually sign. It's Feliciano, Tina Secia,

1997
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:08,759
Speaker 1: Tackle uh and uh Brian Witters are the interior guys

1998
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 1: along with Daryl Williams. Now, you guys talk or listen

1999
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 1: to what the team is saying. Does it sounds like

2000
01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:19,240
Speaker 1: any of those guys are gonna come be brought back

2001
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:22,640
Speaker 1: or majority of them? Because I'm gonna start I'm the

2002
01:47:22,680 --> 01:47:26,840
Speaker 1: reason why I asked this question. Um, the more time

2003
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:29,880
Speaker 1: that these guys spend together and get to know each

2004
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:32,760
Speaker 1: other instead of breaking them up and bringing in new

2005
01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:37,160
Speaker 1: rookies and stuff. Uh, you can definitely improve about that,

2006
01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, because they had some setbacks this year. I

2007
01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:42,639
Speaker 1: just think if you bring the whole group back this

2008
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 1: year and they're healthy and and there they built the bond,

2009
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, you may get more production just out of

2010
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 1: that alone. Right. Yeah. I think we went into this

2011
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:56,360
Speaker 1: this this past season thinking we're gonna have all of

2012
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 1: our five offensive linemen. This is going to be perfect.

2013
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:02,479
Speaker 1: We've got our starting five. They were able to get

2014
01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 1: together in the season before in twenty nineteen. Heading into

2015
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:10,519
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, it's looking good, and then John Feliciano gets hurt,

2016
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:14,240
Speaker 1: Cody Ford misses the rest of the season, but Quentin

2017
01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:17,200
Speaker 1: Spain is not with the team anymore. So you saw

2018
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:19,799
Speaker 1: the offensive line taking a couple of hits during the season.

2019
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:21,960
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris came out with a concussion, and there was

2020
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:24,800
Speaker 1: quite a bit of shuffling throughout the offensive line and

2021
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:28,639
Speaker 1: guys playing out of position. But good thing they practice

2022
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:31,600
Speaker 1: playing out of position, because when you saw John Feliciano

2023
01:48:31,720 --> 01:48:34,480
Speaker 1: switch over to center, it didn't seem like the offensive

2024
01:48:34,479 --> 01:48:37,920
Speaker 1: line missed a beat. So it seems like that chemistry

2025
01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:40,719
Speaker 1: is there. But another year of them all being healthy

2026
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 1: and being together can only help. I hope they bring

2027
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 1: back a couple of the offensive lineman. I would love

2028
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:48,719
Speaker 1: to see John Foliciano be a part of this team

2029
01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 1: again next season, just because he was able to offer

2030
01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:54,800
Speaker 1: so much to the team off the field and to

2031
01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:58,880
Speaker 1: hear how his teammates talked about him, he was really

2032
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,560
Speaker 1: high up. I think a lot of players lists of

2033
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:04,320
Speaker 1: people that they want to see back on this team

2034
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:07,120
Speaker 1: next season and people that they trust and have a

2035
01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of respect for it. But you mentioned the attempts

2036
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:13,120
Speaker 1: of the running backs versus Josh Allen passing the ball.

2037
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen attempted five hundred and seventy two passes. Devin

2038
01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:21,200
Speaker 1: Singletary and Zack Moss Combine had one hundred and sixty

2039
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 1: eight attempts on the ground or two hundred and sixty

2040
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:27,599
Speaker 1: eight attempts on the ground, So five seventy two versus

2041
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:31,400
Speaker 1: two sixty eight, So you're seeing the difference there. How

2042
01:49:31,479 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: much of a how much of a time do you

2043
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 1: need to kind of get into the groove of running

2044
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:40,080
Speaker 1: the ball? You talk about, Okay, the Bills, they've got

2045
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:41,800
Speaker 1: to run the ball. You just have to do it.

2046
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:44,719
Speaker 1: But there's a groove that you have to get into,

2047
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:48,120
Speaker 1: and are running backs, Devin Singletary and the offensive line

2048
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:50,560
Speaker 1: has have talked about this. You can't just have a

2049
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:52,759
Speaker 1: run play here, have a run play there, and expect

2050
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 1: the groove to happen. You kind of have to work

2051
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:57,840
Speaker 1: with it in the beginning of the game to set

2052
01:49:57,880 --> 01:49:59,800
Speaker 1: that run game up, just like you have to do

2053
01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:02,680
Speaker 1: with the passing game. So how much how much do

2054
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 1: you think needs to happen in the beginning of the

2055
01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:07,120
Speaker 1: game or throughout a game to see the run game

2056
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 1: open up? Because I think we have the pieces there.

2057
01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:12,680
Speaker 1: You might want to add another offensive lineman there to

2058
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:15,880
Speaker 1: help with runblocking, but I think Devin Singletary and Zack

2059
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:18,720
Speaker 1: Moss can have good seasons for the Bills next year

2060
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:22,160
Speaker 1: if they're given that type of opportunity. Maddie, you are

2061
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:27,200
Speaker 1: very good telling you that question and answering what you

2062
01:50:27,240 --> 01:50:30,200
Speaker 1: were just saying. Just took me back to my playing

2063
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:35,040
Speaker 1: days as an offensive lineman and being close with the

2064
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:38,320
Speaker 1: running backs. I hated for a coach to call a

2065
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:41,400
Speaker 1: running play. We only get one yard, maybe two yards.

2066
01:50:41,680 --> 01:50:45,479
Speaker 1: We don't see that play again for you know, ten

2067
01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 1: more plays. You know, that's what the running backs are

2068
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 1: talking about, with continuity and getting into a rhythm. Give

2069
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:57,320
Speaker 1: them two running plays at a time three running plays,

2070
01:50:57,360 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 1: give them a series, give them just as many run

2071
01:51:01,439 --> 01:51:05,400
Speaker 1: plays as you have in past plays. A lot of

2072
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 1: the times we would break down the stats looking at

2073
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,720
Speaker 1: the games we play, how many run plays? Is it

2074
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 1: fifty percent pass and fifty percent run. That's ideal. Everybody

2075
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:19,840
Speaker 1: wants to meet their goal, but we know today it's

2076
01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:24,960
Speaker 1: more I would say sixty or seventy percent pass. But

2077
01:51:25,080 --> 01:51:29,759
Speaker 1: if you can early on in your game plan find

2078
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 1: that whether if it is thirty percent, that you're going

2079
01:51:33,040 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 1: to run the ball, help the running backs establish a rhythm,

2080
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:40,840
Speaker 1: help the offensive line establish a rhythm. And that's gonna

2081
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:43,920
Speaker 1: be on you know, the coaching staff to figure out

2082
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:46,720
Speaker 1: what they have and how they're gonna want to attack it,

2083
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 1: whether it be with counter plays or trap plays, whatever.

2084
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:54,080
Speaker 1: You know, all of that's minutia. Now it's just actually

2085
01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 1: doing it and doing it enough times in the game

2086
01:51:57,920 --> 01:52:02,360
Speaker 1: and not getting behind where you can't rubeny that this is.

2087
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:04,559
Speaker 1: We just had a segment a couple of minutes ago

2088
01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 1: about you know, mock drafts and stuff like this. What

2089
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, let's last one for me. We got that's

2090
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:11,360
Speaker 1: all we got time for. I want to hear about

2091
01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:14,000
Speaker 1: your pre dack draft memories when you were coming out

2092
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:16,120
Speaker 1: of pit your first round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills.

2093
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 1: You're coming out and you know the combine and the

2094
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 1: OTAs and all of that. Yeah, how much of this

2095
01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 1: pre draft process can you still relate to with these guys?

2096
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:27,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know that you you know, you had

2097
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:30,240
Speaker 1: a pro day or anything like that. What was it

2098
01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:32,040
Speaker 1: like for you coming out of pit? You got drafted

2099
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:34,280
Speaker 1: in the first round as an offensive lineman? How's that

2100
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:37,280
Speaker 1: different from And I know we see quarterbacks doing this

2101
01:52:37,320 --> 01:52:39,400
Speaker 1: stuff all the time, but what's it like for an

2102
01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:42,880
Speaker 1: offensive lineman coming out who's a first round talent? I

2103
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:46,959
Speaker 1: was fortunate going to University of Pittsburgh. We've had several

2104
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:50,920
Speaker 1: several offensive lineman football players are being drafted highly in

2105
01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:54,639
Speaker 1: the NFL. So I was coached by them. I mean

2106
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:58,240
Speaker 1: I even got information from Matt Cavanaugh was one of

2107
01:52:58,280 --> 01:53:02,160
Speaker 1: the guys that gave me information. Tim lewis a former

2108
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 1: great defensive back for Green Bay Packers. They all were

2109
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:09,200
Speaker 1: in my ear telling me about the process that helped

2110
01:53:09,200 --> 01:53:12,759
Speaker 1: me along through it, so I was excited about it.

2111
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 1: It was a busy time. It was a go, go,

2112
01:53:15,160 --> 01:53:17,479
Speaker 1: go time where we're constantly waking up in the morning,

2113
01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:21,360
Speaker 1: drinking protein shakes, and going to the gym, and going

2114
01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:25,280
Speaker 1: to meetings and checking how you know, did your forty

2115
01:53:25,320 --> 01:53:28,680
Speaker 1: yard dash improve? All of these things will happen, happening,

2116
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 1: And then as it got closer to the draft, the

2117
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:35,200
Speaker 1: teams would call you in for interviews and they would

2118
01:53:35,200 --> 01:53:37,559
Speaker 1: start sizing you. I've been wanting to get to know

2119
01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 1: you a little bit more and give you some more personal,

2120
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 1: one on one intimate interviews. So I did that with

2121
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:47,840
Speaker 1: several teams, but funny enough, never did it with the

2122
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Bills didn't bring me in for

2123
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 1: a meeting, they didn't do anything. They were way more

2124
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:58,640
Speaker 1: covert about this, and I didn't know about it until afterwards.

2125
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 1: I lived in Lynchburg, Virginia at the time. Sam Retigliano

2126
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:08,200
Speaker 1: had hired Joe Delamol as offensive line coach. I was

2127
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:14,080
Speaker 1: home just visiting family and got a call and said, hey,

2128
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:17,800
Speaker 1: Sam Retiguliano wants to Hey, you know, meet you. You

2129
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:21,280
Speaker 1: knew your local guy probably going into the NFL, and

2130
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 1: Joe delama Lier wants to talk to you. Go over there,

2131
01:54:24,280 --> 01:54:27,800
Speaker 1: talk to Joe d great time. Fell in love with him.

2132
01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:30,120
Speaker 1: You know, I still love him to talk to him

2133
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 1: today and go into the draft not even thinking the

2134
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:38,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. I didn't even associate him still as knowing

2135
01:54:38,560 --> 01:54:41,480
Speaker 1: anyone of dealing with the Buffalo Bills at all. But

2136
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:45,400
Speaker 1: what I didn't know that Bills had contacted Joe D

2137
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:49,480
Speaker 1: and Joe D gave them the stamp up approval, said, yep,

2138
01:54:49,680 --> 01:54:53,040
Speaker 1: he's your guy. You you'll like him. Bills didn't even

2139
01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:55,160
Speaker 1: have to bring me in for a visit next time. No.

2140
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 1: I get a call from John Butler on the draft

2141
01:54:57,880 --> 01:55:02,040
Speaker 1: day and it was off him running. Yeah. John Butler

2142
01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:05,560
Speaker 1: was notorious for that Rube about telling them, you know,

2143
01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 1: telling the meeting. He'd go on and on about these

2144
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 1: guys and he'd drafts somebody he'd never mentioned in the meeting,

2145
01:55:11,200 --> 01:55:13,720
Speaker 1: and so he was huge about that. That that was

2146
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:16,200
Speaker 1: such a thing. Ruben. Thanks man, it's great talking to you.

2147
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:18,440
Speaker 1: Look great. We're gonna have you on more regularly. Is

2152

2155
01:55:36,720 --> 01:55:39,919

2156
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:42,040
Speaker 1: Bills guard, first round draft pick, was with the Bills

2157

Speaker 1: ninety five through zo three. Came out of pitt He

2158
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:46,440
Speaker 1: was a first round draft pick and turned in nine

Speaker 1: Pro Bowl appearances in thirteen years. Thanks for being on

2160
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:51,800
Speaker 1: friend of the show. We're gonna be back, Mandie gladste

2161
01:55:51,960 --> 01:55:54,480
Speaker 1: task on one of Bills Live. This is Buffalo Bills

2162
01:55:54,520 --> 01:56:11,880
Speaker 1: Radio one Bills Live with Maddie Glad Steve Tasker here

2163
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:14,800
Speaker 1: at one Bill's Drive coming we um, before we go

2164
01:56:14,840 --> 01:56:17,720
Speaker 1: any further, we're gonna start this segment of the show

2165
01:56:17,720 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 1: off with a phone call from Pat in Batavia. Pat,

2166
01:56:22,240 --> 01:56:24,160
Speaker 1: you're on with Maddie and Steve, and you want to

2167
01:56:24,160 --> 01:56:26,880
Speaker 1: talk about the linebacker situation for the Buffalo Bills. What's

2168
01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:30,560
Speaker 1: on your mind? Well, it's a question for my dad,

2169
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:35,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo horse racing legend, Mike Gaprio and um, he walked,

2170
01:56:35,200 --> 01:56:37,520
Speaker 1: he walked the Super Bowl, and he wanted to know

2171
01:56:37,600 --> 01:56:40,280
Speaker 1: what you thought. I mean, obviously, I mean we have

2172
01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 1: good defensive secondary played. But what you thought the difference

2173
01:56:43,520 --> 01:56:46,480
Speaker 1: was in terms of, um, you know, Devin White and

2174
01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:49,360
Speaker 1: Levante David versus the guys that we tried out there

2175
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:52,880
Speaker 1: at linebacker, you know, um, in terms of I guess

2176
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:56,360
Speaker 1: playing against the Chiefs specifically. Yeah, I think that's a

2177
01:56:56,360 --> 01:56:59,760
Speaker 1: good question, and I'll thanks for the thanks for the call.

2178
01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:02,000
Speaker 1: It's a good question because those guys are really good.

2179
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:06,120
Speaker 1: There's just no two ways about it. I mean, our guys,

2180
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:08,480
Speaker 1: Matt Milano is I think a lot of people like

2181
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:11,280
Speaker 1: Matt Milano a lot better than like Tremaine Edmonds for

2182
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:13,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Tremaine Edmonds is the guy going to

2183
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:16,360
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. You put whatever importance you want or

2184
01:57:16,440 --> 01:57:19,720
Speaker 1: lack of importance on that that you need to. But

2185
01:57:19,800 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds is the guy that coaches and players across

2186
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:25,040
Speaker 1: the league, or at least across the AFC voted as

2187
01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:27,040
Speaker 1: being a guy that's one of the best in the

2188
01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 1: conference or at least the toughest to play against. I

2189
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:33,200
Speaker 1: think that goes a long way. And for whatever Devin

2190
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:36,200
Speaker 1: White and the guys in for Tampa Bay and for

2191
01:57:36,280 --> 01:57:39,840
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs did during the playoff, run and

2192
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:42,880
Speaker 1: they were great, man, they were really good. I think

2193
01:57:42,960 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 1: most of the guys in the conference. I think Tardavius

2194
01:57:45,480 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 1: is a really good guy, and Tardas or Tremaine takes

2195
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:52,560
Speaker 1: a lot of I think a lot of there's a

2196
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 1: lot of doubters for Tremaine, even among Bills fans, because

2197
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:59,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't because the Bills run defense has not been

2198
01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:01,600
Speaker 1: up to snuff. That at least it wasn't this year.

2199
01:58:02,320 --> 01:58:07,040
Speaker 1: And they put that right on the on the at

2200
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 1: the feet of the you know, starting linebacker, right or

2201
01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:15,400
Speaker 1: wrong they I think people hold Tremaine responsible for the

2202
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:20,960
Speaker 1: run defense of the Buffalo Bills defense, and I don't

2203
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:23,880
Speaker 1: know that that's fair. I like tremin I know the

2204
01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:26,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff loves him. He's going to get a second contract,

2205
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:28,280
Speaker 1: He's going to his first Pro Bowl as a as

2206
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:30,800
Speaker 1: a starting linebacker. I think that goes a long way

2207
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:33,240
Speaker 1: in my book. And certainly the Bill's defense took a

2208
01:58:33,280 --> 01:58:36,720
Speaker 1: step back this year, no question about it. But I

2209
01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:38,800
Speaker 1: don't think that had much to do with Tremaine Edmonds.

2210
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:41,000
Speaker 1: He was playing hurt for a good port part of

2211
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 1: the year, and I think that did. You saw him

2212
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 1: take some guys on with the wrong shoulder and do

2213
01:58:45,520 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 1: some things because he wasn't physically one hundred percent. But

2214
01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:53,120
Speaker 1: I think Tremaine Edmonds is a really, really good linebacker

2215
01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:55,160
Speaker 1: in one of the lynch pins of the defense. Mattie,

2216
01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:57,120
Speaker 1: do you do you agree with that or do you

2217
01:58:57,160 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 1: sense what I sense about Bills fans and Tremaine Edmonds? Yeah?

2218
01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:04,760
Speaker 1: I do. I mean it was frustrating that the Bills

2219
01:59:05,040 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 1: couldn't get past the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game

2220
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:14,960
Speaker 1: and we see the Buccaneers just own them on defense,

2221
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:18,080
Speaker 1: and you watch that game as a Bills fan and

2222
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:21,520
Speaker 1: you think, Okay, come on, we have a good defense, Like,

2223
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:24,760
Speaker 1: why couldn't we have done something similar? Was it the

2224
01:59:24,840 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 1: game plan? Was it the personnel? Was it the health

2225
01:59:28,080 --> 01:59:30,640
Speaker 1: of our defense versus the health of their defense? And

2226
01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of players and a lot of

2227
01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 1: teams are looking at what Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able

2228
01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 1: to do against the Chiefs and think that just could

2229
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:41,520
Speaker 1: possibly be used as some type of blueprint. I mean,

2230
01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:45,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes was limited in ways he was never limited before.

2231
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:47,960
Speaker 1: And I think the Bills when they've played the Chiefs

2232
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:51,080
Speaker 1: the last two times have used parts of that. But

2233
01:59:51,160 --> 01:59:54,240
Speaker 1: they just haven't been able to connect it all together.

2234
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:57,160
Speaker 1: I think you can take good things from each of

2235
01:59:57,200 --> 01:59:59,680
Speaker 1: the games that we played against the Chiefs this past

2236
01:59:59,720 --> 02:00:02,880
Speaker 1: season and an unfortunately lost, but you can take things

2237
02:00:02,880 --> 02:00:05,440
Speaker 1: away and use it to piece together a game plan

2238
02:00:05,720 --> 02:00:09,040
Speaker 1: hopefully next season when we're in the same place against

2239
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:12,000
Speaker 1: them in the AFC Championship game. I think we have

2240
02:00:12,160 --> 02:00:14,880
Speaker 1: the talent. I think we have the roster. I think

2241
02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:17,919
Speaker 1: health played a big part in that, and like you added,

2242
02:00:18,240 --> 02:00:24,360
Speaker 1: we never saw Tremaine Edmunds really returned to his full self. Yes,

2243
02:00:24,480 --> 02:00:26,600
Speaker 1: he was healthy as we went into the end of

2244
02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 1: the season, but I think he was still limited in

2245
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:32,040
Speaker 1: different types of ways. I think that injury probably hung

2246
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:35,200
Speaker 1: around a little bit longer than he wanted it to. Yeah,

2247
02:00:35,200 --> 02:00:37,240
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. And let's face it, he's

2248
02:00:37,240 --> 02:00:40,080
Speaker 1: also the same linebacker who was part of a top

2249
02:00:40,120 --> 02:00:43,160
Speaker 1: two or top three defense a year before, when it

2250
02:00:43,280 --> 02:00:45,000
Speaker 1: was when it was really clicking, when the team was

2251
02:00:45,080 --> 02:00:47,480
Speaker 1: leaning on that defense. He was still there doing the

2252
02:00:47,520 --> 02:00:50,160
Speaker 1: same thing that then as well. So it's it's hard

2253
02:00:50,200 --> 02:00:52,280
Speaker 1: to poke holes in the game. I know that you

2254
02:00:52,280 --> 02:00:54,840
Speaker 1: know zac to say, hey, mister tackle here, mister tackle there.

2255
02:00:55,160 --> 02:00:58,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't look like a big middle inside linebacker. He's

2256
02:00:58,640 --> 02:01:02,360
Speaker 1: playing middle linebacker in a different NFL than Dick Butkus did,

2257
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:05,800
Speaker 1: or Mike Singletary did, or Mark Brian Erlacker or Ray

2258
02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:09,040
Speaker 1: Lewis even. It's a much different NFL these days than

2259
02:01:09,080 --> 02:01:11,640
Speaker 1: it was then. And I think Tremaine Edmonds fits that

2260
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:14,800
Speaker 1: mold a little bit better than those guys. It's time now, Maddie.

2261
02:01:14,840 --> 02:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Are you ready? We're gonna do some true false brought

2262
02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:22,440
Speaker 1: to you by Yancey's Fancy Artisan Cheese. Yancey's Fancy New

2263
02:01:22,520 --> 02:01:27,760
Speaker 1: York's Artisan Cheese. And Maddie, you came prepared today because

2264
02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:29,920
Speaker 1: it was your job to bring in some true false

2265
02:01:29,960 --> 02:01:32,080
Speaker 1: and you're gonna put them to me. You're gonna question

Speaker 1: some Michael Jackson in the beginning of practices, it is

2288
02:02:40,440 --> 02:02:45,240
Speaker 1: because Sean McDermott has requested some Michael Jackson. You might

2289
02:02:45,320 --> 02:02:47,800

02:03:14,440 --> 02:03:18,600
Speaker 1: Per person? Well that's interesting because it's Germany, and then

Speaker 1: coach Chad Hall served in the US Air Force. True,

2305
02:03:52,800 --> 02:03:56,720
Speaker 1: that's true. It is true. You are correct he did

2306
02:03:56,760 --> 02:03:59,600
Speaker 1: serve in the US Air Force. I didn't know that.

2307
02:03:59,680 --> 02:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Whoever knew that about Chad Hall, I didn't know that.

2308
02:04:03,080 --> 02:04:07,280
Speaker 1: All right. Number number four, all right, Nemo from the

2309
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:13,640
Speaker 1: movie Finding Nemo is a pufferfish. That's false. He's a

2310
02:04:13,720 --> 02:04:18,360
Speaker 1: tiger fish. I think it's false. He is a clownfish.

2311
02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:21,960
Speaker 1: Clownfish not alright? Hey, I'm I'm three for four or

2312
02:04:22,160 --> 02:04:25,720
Speaker 1: is this three straight? That's three straight after a slow start?

2313
02:04:26,960 --> 02:04:31,360
Speaker 1: All right? If Cole Beasley were to play another sport,

2314
02:04:31,400 --> 02:04:35,080
Speaker 1: it would be baseball. Is that true or false? Did

2315
02:04:35,120 --> 02:04:38,200
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley say that? Think about what type of athlete

2316
02:04:38,240 --> 02:04:41,160
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley could be as baseball his sport. Could it

2317
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:46,720
Speaker 1: be something else? I say false. I don't think you

2318
02:04:46,760 --> 02:04:48,560
Speaker 1: don't want to give a sport that you think he

2319
02:04:48,560 --> 02:04:55,520
Speaker 1: would be better at than could be, could be soccer,

2320
02:04:56,960 --> 02:05:00,160
Speaker 1: could be, could be tennis. Even now that I'm on

2321
02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:05,280
Speaker 1: this big tennis kick with Jesse Pagoula, I'll guess. I'll

2322
02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:11,440
Speaker 1: guess and say I'll guess and say, uh, soccer. It

2323
02:05:11,600 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 1: is basketball. You are correct. It is false. It's not baseball.

2324
02:05:16,720 --> 02:05:20,040
Speaker 1: But Cole Beasley is a baller on the basketball court.

2325
02:05:20,080 --> 02:05:23,680
Speaker 1: If you've ever seen some videos, dude can play basketball.

2326
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:25,480
Speaker 1: That's cool. But have you ever been to an NBA

2327
02:05:25,560 --> 02:05:28,320
Speaker 1: game in person and sat court side? Ye? Yeah, Cole

2328
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:31,560
Speaker 1: Beasley has no shot, not non court side. Cole Beasley

2329
02:05:31,560 --> 02:05:35,520
Speaker 1: has no shot the NBA. Those guys are even the

2330
02:05:35,560 --> 02:05:40,280
Speaker 1: short guys are freakishly tall. That that, and no doubt

2331
02:05:40,320 --> 02:05:43,560
Speaker 1: he can hoop. I don't buy. I don't doubt that

2332
02:05:43,760 --> 02:05:45,840
Speaker 1: because a lot of all these guys in the NFL

2333
02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:48,160
Speaker 1: locker rooms, you know this, Maddie, They can all you

2334
02:05:48,600 --> 02:05:50,960
Speaker 1: if you get him at the right age and hand

2335
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:55,960
Speaker 1: him any ball or bat or baton or stick or

2336
02:05:56,000 --> 02:05:59,440
Speaker 1: whatever sport you want to hand them, and they get

2337
02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:03,160
Speaker 1: into it, are going to dominate. H And yeah, Cole Beasley,

2338
02:06:03,320 --> 02:06:07,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't surprise me. Uh yeah, not at all. Hoops, Yeah,

2339
02:06:07,720 --> 02:06:09,720
Speaker 1: hoops could be a good one for him. That all right,

2340
02:06:09,720 --> 02:06:11,720
Speaker 1: that's cool. Alright, I still get it right though I'm

2341
02:06:11,720 --> 02:06:14,320
Speaker 1: four out of five. You still get it right though,

2342
02:06:14,320 --> 02:06:18,680
Speaker 1: you are correct? Um, all right, let's move on. Japan

Speaker 1: has square watermelons? Is that true or false? This is true.

2344
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:27,800
Speaker 1: I saw this on the internet. I saw this on

02:06:27,840 --> 02:06:29,640
Speaker 1: the internet a long time ago. They do, They have

2346
02:06:29,680 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 1: square watermelons. That's true. How did you know that? I

2347
02:06:33,280 --> 02:06:35,680
Speaker 1: saw it? It was one of those ideas. Come on

2348
02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:40,200
Speaker 1: social media, you gotta you're gonna cross square watermelons. Yeah,

2349
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:44,720
Speaker 1: I know, I have never come across square your time

2350
02:06:44,760 --> 02:06:50,200
Speaker 1: when you're perusing the internet's right looking up pictures of watermelons.

2351
02:06:50,320 --> 02:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Who knows how it comes across your timeline. All I

2352
02:06:52,480 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 1: know is I saw it once and it rang a bell.

2353
02:06:54,360 --> 02:06:58,280
Speaker 1: That's so. Yes, that's true. How about okay? You are

2354
02:06:58,440 --> 02:07:01,440
Speaker 1: It was a five straight five to six after missing

2355
02:07:01,480 --> 02:07:04,840
Speaker 1: the first one, I am five straight. All right, here's

2356
02:07:04,840 --> 02:07:08,680
Speaker 1: the one that might stump you. Mario Addison's first job

2357
02:07:08,960 --> 02:07:16,360
Speaker 1: was a dishwasher. True or false? This is a coin flip.

2358
02:07:17,480 --> 02:07:21,920
Speaker 1: I know, I'll say false. I think his first job

2359
02:07:21,960 --> 02:07:28,880
Speaker 1: was something else. You're right, that was a totally obviously

2360
02:07:28,880 --> 02:07:33,440
Speaker 1: a guess. Mario Addison's first job was a cook at Sonic.

2361
02:07:34,080 --> 02:07:40,520
Speaker 1: At Sonicnic. Do you have Sonics in Chicago? They do,

2362
02:07:40,840 --> 02:07:42,440
Speaker 1: the one that we would go to. I don't know

2363
02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:45,920
Speaker 1: if they've made more, built more, but when I was

2364
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:47,920
Speaker 1: in high school, we had one and it was like

2365
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:50,960
Speaker 1: thirty minutes away. So if we wanted to go to Sonic,

2366
02:07:51,040 --> 02:07:54,400
Speaker 1: that was like our social outing for the evening. So

2367
02:07:54,480 --> 02:07:57,200
Speaker 1: we would definitely do that on like Friday nights or weekends,

2368
02:07:57,280 --> 02:07:59,920
Speaker 1: like go to Sonic, hang out in the parking lot,

2369
02:08:00,240 --> 02:08:04,480
Speaker 1: get a Sonic slush out, talked to everybody. There'd be

2370
02:08:04,520 --> 02:08:08,560
Speaker 1: like five cars there. My town was so small, we

2371
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:10,800
Speaker 1: didn't have any fast food restaurants at all. It was.

2372
02:08:10,920 --> 02:08:13,800
Speaker 1: It was extremely small, no none of that, so whenever

2373
02:08:13,840 --> 02:08:15,680
Speaker 1: you'd go, you'd have to you know, you pick and choose.

2374
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:19,560
Speaker 1: But that became after my mom and dad retired, which

2375
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:25,120
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty five years ago, almost thirty years sixty five, Yeah,

2376
02:08:25,120 --> 02:08:27,960
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. They're both ninety now. They moved

2377
02:08:27,960 --> 02:08:31,080
Speaker 1: to a town that has has one and so I

2378
02:08:31,200 --> 02:08:33,360
Speaker 1: take I take my mom and dad ninety years old

2379
02:08:33,360 --> 02:08:35,800
Speaker 1: to Sonic. When I go there, I love it. It's great, okay,

2380
02:08:35,920 --> 02:08:39,400
Speaker 1: all right? So I yes, I got that. You are

02:08:39,480 --> 02:08:42,280
Speaker 1: doing cook pretty great? All right, go ahead, Let's see

2382
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:45,680
Speaker 1: if we can stump you with this one. There are

2383
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:50,960
Speaker 1: one hundred dimples on a golf wall. True or false,

2387
02:09:03,440 --> 02:09:07,560

02:09:42,280 --> 02:09:49,400
Speaker 1: that Corey Bojorquez would have liked to see. Do you

Speaker 1: a true I'll give Corey b has that amount of

2403
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:01,839
Speaker 1: suspect that he would know that would be a concert

2404
02:10:01,880 --> 02:10:04,800
Speaker 1: to go see. I saw it. I just saw. I

2405
02:10:04,840 --> 02:10:08,200
Speaker 1: just saw an interview with Paul McCartney of the Beatles,

2406
02:10:08,920 --> 02:10:11,879
Speaker 1: and he told a story about going to Jimmy Hendricks

2407
02:10:12,040 --> 02:10:14,680
Speaker 1: concert himself, and it was all he said, It was

2408
02:10:14,720 --> 02:10:17,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys. They're like Eric Clapton and and uh,

2409
02:10:18,360 --> 02:10:20,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of guitars. Stevie Ray Vaughn and some of

2410
02:10:20,440 --> 02:10:22,320
Speaker 1: these guys were there. All these great guitar players were

2411
02:10:22,360 --> 02:10:24,320
Speaker 1: there to see Jimmy Hendricks because he was this new

2412
02:10:24,360 --> 02:10:27,520
Speaker 1: guitar guy. And he told a story about that concert,

2413
02:10:27,840 --> 02:10:31,160
Speaker 1: and so yes, Stee, Jimmy Hendricks is a good guest.

2414
02:10:31,160 --> 02:10:34,360
Speaker 1: So I gave Corey Burke has a compliment by saying

2415
02:10:34,360 --> 02:10:36,120
Speaker 1: he was smart enough to know that that's a concert

2416
02:10:36,120 --> 02:10:40,720
Speaker 1: you should go see. There you go, all right, all right,

2417
02:10:40,760 --> 02:10:44,400
Speaker 1: one more. I'm eight of nine so far, so okay.

2418
02:10:45,560 --> 02:10:50,240
Speaker 1: Pinocchio was the first animated full color Walt Disney feature film.

2419
02:10:50,640 --> 02:10:54,560
Speaker 1: That is false. Snow White was the first one. I

2420
02:10:54,960 --> 02:10:59,840
Speaker 1: come on, listen. My wife hates it when we played

2421
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:02,680
Speaker 1: of your Pursuit. No, my wife hates it when we

2422
02:11:02,720 --> 02:11:05,000
Speaker 1: play Trivial Pursuit because this is just the kind of

2423
02:11:05,080 --> 02:11:09,280
Speaker 1: nonsense that I keep at my fingertips all the time.

2424
02:11:09,480 --> 02:11:11,360
Speaker 1: I am nine of ten. Thank you, I get it.

2425
02:11:11,760 --> 02:11:16,960
Speaker 1: That is an a for me. I appreciate day. Good questions. Mattie.

2426
02:11:16,960 --> 02:11:19,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you so much. I will be

2427
02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:22,000
Speaker 1: right back. Maddie glabs Steep Tasker one Bills Live. We're

2428
02:11:22,040 --> 02:11:24,640
Speaker 1: back to finish it up. Right after this, We're presented

2429
02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:27,680
Speaker 1: by Clyde to Health and this is Buffalo Bills Radio.

2430
02:11:42,000 --> 02:11:43,880
Speaker 1: What do we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks to

2431
02:11:43,920 --> 02:11:47,200
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2432
02:11:47,240 --> 02:11:50,440
Speaker 1: We had former Buffalo Bills All Pro and Pro Bowl

2433
02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:53,320
Speaker 1: Guard on today, Ruben Brown. We talked to him about

2434
02:11:53,320 --> 02:11:56,560
Speaker 1: the Bills running game. You know what he said, It

2435
02:11:56,720 --> 02:12:00,400
Speaker 1: kind of resonates. It's a little bit offensive line ish nishman,

2436
02:12:02,040 --> 02:12:04,960
Speaker 1: kind of offensive lineman ish for him to say it,

2437
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:08,800
Speaker 1: But he's right, the Bills run the ball better if

2438
02:12:08,800 --> 02:12:10,800
Speaker 1: they ran it a little more often and a little

2439
02:12:10,800 --> 02:12:16,480
Speaker 1: bit more consistently, like in consecutive plays. And he you know,

2440
02:12:16,720 --> 02:12:19,120
Speaker 1: it gives it running backs a chance to get a going.

2441
02:12:19,160 --> 02:12:20,960
Speaker 1: And we you know, we heard Brandon Being and Chumming

2442
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:22,560
Speaker 1: Gover say we need to run the wh ball better,

2443
02:12:22,600 --> 02:12:24,680
Speaker 1: not necessarily more, but at least better. And I think

2444
02:12:25,040 --> 02:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Ruben Brown makes a point about what it's like to

2445
02:12:28,360 --> 02:12:31,080
Speaker 1: play up front and be an important part of the

2446
02:12:31,160 --> 02:12:33,160
Speaker 1: run game and not be able to do it on

2447
02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:38,120
Speaker 1: a consistent basis, at least like play after play after play. Right, Yeah,

2448
02:12:38,160 --> 02:12:40,680
Speaker 1: And I think it's something for us as fans and

2449
02:12:40,720 --> 02:12:44,560
Speaker 1: people who watch the Bills to remind ourselves of is

2450
02:12:44,600 --> 02:12:47,800
Speaker 1: when we see the Bills go and stack together maybe

2451
02:12:47,800 --> 02:12:50,360
Speaker 1: two to three run plays and don't get too much

2452
02:12:50,360 --> 02:12:53,000
Speaker 1: of a game for it, it's because they're trying to

2453
02:12:53,040 --> 02:12:56,360
Speaker 1: set something up later in the game. Possibly I am

2454
02:12:56,480 --> 02:12:58,960
Speaker 1: one who will also do that. They have two run

2455
02:12:59,040 --> 02:13:01,160
Speaker 1: plays and they gain may be about three yards in

2456
02:13:01,160 --> 02:13:03,400
Speaker 1: those two run plays. I'm like, why are you running

2457
02:13:03,400 --> 02:13:05,920
Speaker 1: the football? Just throw the football? Why are we running

2458
02:13:05,920 --> 02:13:08,200
Speaker 1: the football where we need to throw it? But then

2459
02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:10,080
Speaker 1: you look back at the end of the season and

2460
02:13:10,560 --> 02:13:12,840
Speaker 1: how the season played out, and it's like, yeah, they

2461
02:13:12,840 --> 02:13:14,520
Speaker 1: probably should have ran it a little bit more and

2462
02:13:14,600 --> 02:13:16,960
Speaker 1: been a little bit more balanced. It's easy to say

2463
02:13:17,040 --> 02:13:19,960
Speaker 1: run it more when you're gaining four yards a pop.

2464
02:13:20,400 --> 02:13:22,560
Speaker 1: It's not so easy when you're gaining one point five

2465
02:13:22,640 --> 02:13:25,920
Speaker 1: of your a carry and it's third and seven. Again,

2466
02:13:27,520 --> 02:13:30,840
Speaker 1: that's hard to do, but he's right. You get better

2467
02:13:30,880 --> 02:13:32,320
Speaker 1: at it the more you do it, and I think

2468
02:13:32,320 --> 02:13:35,240
Speaker 1: it's important for us. Maddie, thanks for coming on the

2469
02:13:35,320 --> 02:13:37,120

2471

Speaker 1: tomorrow one pm. She shield Capatia from the Athletic covered

2472
02:13:44,680 --> 02:13:46,800

2473
02:13:46,800 --> 02:13:49,600
Speaker 1: with us at one o'clock unless Carson Wentz gets traded,

2474
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:52,200
Speaker 1: then he might not. Mattie, Thanks, it's been great, haven't
