So I was really happy 27 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: that the backyard was on the east side of the house. Yeah, 28 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: we've had the the isolation pod for a while now. 29 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: My two sons, their wives and each of them has 30 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: three kids with us, and then another set of in 31 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: laws and their twenty five year old kid.

It's like, you know, 36 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen people, right, So we got all that going on, 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: and yesterday we get up and you know, we're online, 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: do you know, listen, go church online, that kind of thing. 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: We're sitting in our pajamas and stuff. And I got 40 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: up and I don't know if you remember this, I 41 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: had this huge cottonwood tree in my backyard that went 42 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: It's like it was like a plus. It like thirty 43 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: six and it was more than three feet across diameter, 44 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: not around, but diameter. It was a huge tree and 45 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: it had brought it over the years and fell over 46 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: and it had been laying over in my yard for 47 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: months because you know, how do you get to it, right, 48 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: So it was muddy, it was cold and all ways. 49 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: So I've been chopping it and working at it. And 50 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: if we were on TV, which theoretically we will be 51 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: back on television pretty soon, I don't know pretty soon, 52 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: but we're gonna be back on TV. I would show 53 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: you the video because it finally got dry enough Brownie 54 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: for me to get my uh my jeep down on 55 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: the property on the lawn without you know, looking like 56 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: I drove a bulldozer across my lawn right, because it 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: looked it was all muddy. I latched on like a 58 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: big toe strap to these tree limbs. There's huge tree 59 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: limbs and that are still sticking out of my pond, right. 60 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like my ponds growing trees out. 61 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: You know, it's just awful. So I dragged them out 62 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 1: one at a time and chopped him up and pulled 63 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: them out, and I think my I think my jeep 64 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: might have taken one for the team. During the process 65 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: it started smoking. Boy, but it seems fine. Transmission might 66 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: not be very happy with you, right, So I it 67 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: was I was backing. I was in a gear that 68 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: this trip. This jeep had never been My jeep is 69 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: a road jeep. It's not an off trail jeep, although 70 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: it's off rated. It's like, got all the bells and whistle. 71 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm a car guy, right, I meaning I do commercials 72 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: for a car company. Right, So I've got a jeep 73 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: with all the bells and whistles. You may have wanted 74 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: to rent something else, right, So I had this jeep. 75 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: My jeep's never been off the road. I mean if 76 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: I drop a tire off my driveway, that's off the road, right. 77 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: So I had it into gear yesterday. It's never been 78 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: in and it's an old jeep. Ralph needs a hug, right, 79 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: So it's he's an old guy. So this jeep was 80 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: in a gear yesterday, was four wheel drive. Low, yeah, 81 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: And I had it in reverse to pull this these 82 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: branches out and I wouldn't move. I ended up having 83 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: to chop the chop him up with a chainsaw to 84 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: get him out. You know, he's a heavy and he 85 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: started smoking. Ralph said no, basically he was Ralph was hurting. 86 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: So you know, well I got a little quick fishing 87 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: story from the weekend. Okay, yeah, because my ironically on 88 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: Fathersday weekend, my dad's comment when I was probably a 89 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: teenager was ringing in my ears. So I take the 90 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: kids fishing. We go over to the Buffalo River by 91 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: the grain silos, and we're just you know, shoreline cast 92 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: and dropping some lines in the water. And we're not 93 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: there like fifteen minutes and my son snagged on something. 94 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: Can't get the line loose. So I was like, all right, 95 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: here's my pole. Let me take your pole. Let me 96 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: see what I can do over here. So sure enough, 97 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: I'm over there trying to get the line loose. He's 98 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: got a he's a fish on he's got a fish 99 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: on my line. So now he's pulling you know, he's 100 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: pulling the fish in this then the other. I'm still 101 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: trying to get his line loose. So he's already back 102 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: into water. He's got another one. So now he feels 103 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: bad because he's catching fish with my pole. So he's like, Dad, 104 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: give me your give me my pole back. Here, you 105 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: reel this one in. So I go over to reel 106 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: that thing in, and I can feel this fish going 107 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: side to side, and it's a good sized fish, and 108 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: it feels like it's the lines wrapped on something, which 109 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: is never good. And sure enough, the lot I'm trying 110 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: to put push the pole out towards the fish to 111 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: kind of get around whatever the line is caught on 112 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: and the line severs. So now I lose the fish, 113 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: my lure, and the rig. The whole thing is gone. 114 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: I got a striped line, so now I got a 115 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: snag line over here. I got a strip line there. 116 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: Five minutes later, my daughter's got a fish on and 117 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: that fish does the same thing that my data, rubs 118 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: the line on a rock or a log or something 119 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: snaps her line. So guess who's getting the snag out 120 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: and rethreaten the regging the two lines. It's me. So 121 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: that takes about fifteen twenty minutes where nobody's in the 122 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: water essentially, right, So I get the line undone, so 123 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: you're fishing and nobody's fishing, right. I re rigged the 124 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: two lines. Okay, we're fishing. Maybe another fifteen minutes. Okay, 125 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: my son goes uh, Dad, I gotta I gotta tangled 126 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: mess here with my line. He goes, I don't want 127 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: you to do it. He's he feels bad now, He's like, 128 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: you keep fishing, and I'm gonna try to get this myself, okay, 129 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: because now I don't even want to. I just want 130 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: to throw some lines in the way. I don't want 131 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: to do anything but that right now, right so here, 132 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: I hear him behind me. He's fumbling through the tackle 133 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: box looking for like a pair of needle nose pliers 134 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: or something to try to pull this bird's nest that 135 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: he's got going behind me. So about ten minutes later 136 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: he's given up. Dad, I think I might have made 137 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: it worse. Can you take a look at this? I'm like, here, 138 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: just take my poll, just take my punk. So now 139 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: he's got my pole again, and I go and look 140 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: at this thing. I don't you couldn't have done what 141 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: was done to this line? Like usually you get the 142 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: bird's nest down by the reel. If the real malfunctions 143 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: on you, or the line comes in too fast or something, 144 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you get a problem down 145 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: by the reel. This is at the end of the 146 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: poll and there's somehow two knots in the line. I 147 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: don't even know how you can physically do what he 148 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: did there, Like you would need like a slide rule 149 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: and like four other pieces of equipment to accomplish what 150 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: was done here. So to get this knot out of 151 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: the line, because usually if it's this bad, you just 152 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: cut the line and start over. But I had just 153 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: done that with two of the poles, So I'm like, 154 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: I gotta get this knot out. I can't cut an 155 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: eight I got ten feet a line. I'd be cutting 156 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: off here if I did this. So I had to 157 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: take a loose hook out of my tackle box, and 158 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: the point of the hook I had to wedge into 159 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: the knot to try to get it to loosen so 160 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: I could like slowly pull the thing apart. So that 161 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: took about twenty minutes. So in the first hour and 162 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: a half of fishing, Steve, I was probably in the 163 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: water with a line for twenty minutes. And then your 164 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: kids are and listen, your kids are older right there, Tea, yeah, yeah, 165 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: and they can picture doing it with an eight year 166 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: old well right, So, but all I could hear in 167 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: my head was my dad saying when you're the dad 168 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: on a fishing trip, you inevitably do the least amount 169 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: of fishing because you're you're overseeing and handling everybody else's issues. 170 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: And nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, 171 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: nothing could be more true than that statement. When you 172 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: are the dad on a fishing trip, you do the 173 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: least fishing.

He's gonna 219 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: come on. We'll have him on for a round. I 220 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: don't know. We'll try and keep him on for twenty 221 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: twenty five minutes and see what he's been up to. 222 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: I've been on the phone with him a couple of times. 223 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: You know, the Bills of they've been trying to get 224 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: different guys to come on these Zoom meetings that you've 225 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: heard about it where they had you know, different quarterbacks on. 226 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: You know, Peyton Manning got a lot of notoriety when 227 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: he came on and and all of that, and he 228 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: related the story about how Eli helped out that during 229 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: right before they went to the Super Bowl that year. 230 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of optimism about the bill's roster 231 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: and all of that. So Brian Dable's writing them right 232 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: in the thick of it, trying to get through this. 233 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: I think there's they've started to go back into the 234 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: office now and again, although I don't think they're even 235 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: when they got allowed to go back in the office. 236 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: I mean, there's not only so much they can do 237 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: when they're there by themselves, right, So they are getting 238 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: some more stuff done. But also the COVID has not 239 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: ducked its head at all. Right, brownie, if you look 240 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: around all these state of Florida had eight thousand new 241 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: cases over the weekend. It's crazy. Yeah, so it it's 242 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: not going away, no, And this is what happens when 243 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: you have a fifty state free for all and no 244 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: national policy. You know, you got all these governors trying 245 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: to figure it out on their own, and some are 246 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: taking proactive approaches, some are taking reactive approaches, and some 247 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: are taking no approach at all. But when you have 248 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: fifty different plans, yeah, that's what's gonna happen. The crusher 249 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be the small businesses, right, they just can't 250 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: hang in there. No, I mean I I've seen people 251 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: on the news, you know, small business owners, and they're 252 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: asking them, you know, if you gotta shut down again, 253 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna make it through the year. And it's gonna 254 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 1: be really really hard to do that. Yeah, And you know, 255 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: you don't know if those pp what a PPP loans 256 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: are coming through right now? I know this in a 257 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: second or third wave, right, And how the government's only 258 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: got enough money to hand out and they're already handing 259 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: it over fist for unemployment unfortunately. Plus or mind, they 260 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: print the stuff, so it be, they can print as 261 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: much as they want. It doesn't make it more valuable. 262 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: It makes it less valuable. I don't you know what 263 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: I mean. So, yeah, it's gonna be. I don't know. 264 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm not an economist. We're doing in New York State, 265 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: but right, I'm not an economist. But this ain't good, 266 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: well yeah, for anybody right across the world exactly. So 267 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: it's and it's and we're still in it. We've been 268 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: in it for six or seven months and well since 269 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: March really the beginning of March, right, It feels like 270 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: six months, doesn't it it. Yeah, well we are. We 271 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: are almost in July, so you know we're headed that 272 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: way and it will be six months by the time 273 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: it's over. And now we've got this thing where we're 274 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: with football teams are shutting down everything because as soon 275 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: as they start to get together, all of a sudden, 276 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: Clemson's got twenty three guys down. You know, ten of 277 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: them tested positive and the other thirteen or their roommates 278 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: or something, you know, So they they're they're dead in 279 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: the dead in the water. So we're here's what we're 280 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna take a quick break here, come 281 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: back right away and we'll have Brian offensive coordinator Brian 282 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: dave Ball on Steve Tasker Chris Brown. This is One 283 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health and this is 284 00:14:42,600 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio Bosonsive coordinator Brian dave All Brian Steve 285 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: from Chris Brown here in Buffalo. How are you doing, man? 286 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: That's the off season treating you as are you making 287 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: it through the pandemic? Okay? Good Steve, Yeah, we're doing good. 288 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: I want to wish you and Chris a happy Father's Day. 289 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: I hope you guys had a good day yesterday, and 290 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's been an interesting off season in terms 291 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: of all the virtual meetings that we've had, but it's 292 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: been as productive as we can make it. And looking 293 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: forward to getting a few weeks off here and then 294 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: get ready to get going here in training camp. Yeah, coach, 295 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: I know on the conference call with the media a 296 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: week or so ago, you were talking about the reality 297 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: is we can't make excuses for the situation that we're in. 298 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: But at the same time, the facts are you've probably 299 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: missed out on about eight to nine thousand reps, I 300 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: believe you said by your account. So looking at this 301 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: in a positive fashion, coach, what are the forces that 302 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: you think will help you guys as a team make 303 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: up the lost time when you do get the players 304 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: back on the field. Well, I think we did a 305 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: good job. I think it starts with Sean and setting 306 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: up to different types of meetings that you know, we 307 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: all we try to stay out in front of of 308 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, staying boring in our meetings and really doing 309 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: a good job of keeping the guys engaged and meeting 310 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: in small groups at times so that guys can get 311 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: a field for one another. Um. You know, time will tell, Chris, 312 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: So it will you know, be a challenging, challenging training 313 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: camp for everybody. But we feel we did a good 314 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: job in the offseason and when when training camps hips, 315 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's there's no substitute for repetitions out on 316 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: the field. Um, And so we'll get as many of 317 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: those as we can and we're looking forward to it. 318 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: We said a lot that this continuity. You know, we've 319 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: got all your a lot of your key players back. Um. 320 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: You know, somebody did an article that said, you know, 321 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: eighty eight percent of your offensive snaps are back on 322 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: the roster this year as compared to last year. So 323 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, you've got a lot of continuity. But there's 324 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: no question you're still going to have to incorporate new 325 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: pieces into the puzzle, and some of them are gonna 326 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: be pretty prominent pieces. Um, how do you think that's 327 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: how do you think that's gonna go? Are you going 328 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: to get a benefit with all the continuity or is 329 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: it too early to tell? Well? I think I think 330 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: when you can have people that are familiar with the 331 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: system and familiar with one another, that that always helps 332 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. But in terms of where we'll 333 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: be or where we'll end up, No time will tell, 334 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: you know. Obviously there's some new pieces um with with 335 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: Stefan and then a bunch of the rookies, and we 336 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: signed a couple other environment Bam and Williams in the 337 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: off season. UM So, you know, you gotta go through 338 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: practice reps and see what's working. You know, things you 339 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: might think are are going to be really good for 340 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: one particular player, you get them here and you said, boy, 341 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: you know what, I think you need to switch this, 342 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: but you better do it early in camp. There's not 343 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: a lot of time for trial and error. M with 344 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: where we're at. I know the coaches are back in 345 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: the bill, So are you spending your time how much 346 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: of your time coach are you guys spending as a 347 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: staff kind of rewriting how training camp's going to have 348 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: to go install wise and everything like that. I mean, 349 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: I know coach McDermott mentioned, you know, timing in the 350 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: passing games something they want to focus on because that's 351 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: a hard thing to grasp when you don't have the repetitions. 352 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: So how have you guys worked to shift things in 353 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: terms of prioritizing things and how much different might it 354 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: look when you get back to camp from what it 355 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: normally is come late July? You know, I don't think 356 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: it's going to look, you know, too much different. Um. 357 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: You know, at this time of year, when when things 358 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: start winding down and you get a few weeks here 359 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 1: to kind of get a little break before the season starts, 360 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: you know, you're you're gonna have to what you're really 361 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: going to have to do, Chris, I think that was 362 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: you who asked the question. Is Yeah, you're gonna have 363 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: to be able to just I'd say rather quickly. Um. 364 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: You know a lot of times in spring you can 365 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: kind of play with things and and see what you 366 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: like and allbit you're going against your own defense with 367 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: with no paths on. But there's still you know, timing 368 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: of routes and route technique and types of throws and 369 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: runs and things like that that you always want to adjust. 370 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: Maybe it looks maybe it doesn't look as good as 371 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: you thought it might look. Um, you know, each you know, 372 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: our system is very flexible and we're gonna try to 373 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: do whatever we can do that fits our guys. Obviously 374 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: we know a lot of them, and there's some guys 375 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: that we don't know. So you know, well, it'll look 376 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: i'd say fairly similar, it'll be a different venue and 377 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: things like that. But you know what we're gonna have 378 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: to do a good job as coaches is really you know, 379 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: after practice, get out of the tape, I just evaluate 380 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: the players because in training camp and usually you're looking 381 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: at two things. You're you're refining your system. You're seeing 382 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: what's good, You're seeing how the piece is fit. But 383 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: you're also doing a lot of evaluating whether that be 384 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: at the top part or the bottom part of the roster. 385 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: And we're gonna have to do a good job of 386 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: managing those reps and those periods Accordingly. You're on one 387 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: Bills Live and we were on the line with Buffalo 388 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: Bill's offensive coordinator Brian day Ball. What was your involvement 389 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: on Josh gave us some insights that you were kind 390 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: of try there virtually when they had that workout session 391 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: going down in Florida. What was your impression of that, 392 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: How Josh handled it, how Davis Webb handled it, Matt Barkley, 393 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: were the guys in that quarterback room, Uh, you know 394 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: how they handle it, and how do you think is 395 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: there going to be some progress made this offseason or 396 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: you just kind of trying to maintain what's your take on, 397 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, how productive this offseason might be. Sure, I 398 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: think we made it as productive as we can make it. Um. 399 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: I think those guys did a really good job talking 400 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: to them after they got back. You know, Josh and 401 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: Davis and Bark and those guys did a good job 402 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: of setting the thing up. And you know, there were 403 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people that went there. Uh, you know, 404 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: they got some throwing sessions in, which was good for them. 405 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: I think they know built a little bit of camaderie 406 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: off the field. But credit to those guys for you 407 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: know taking the reins on that. You know, I know 408 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams doing it. I'm glad that 409 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: Josh and the quarterbacks decided to do that. Um, you know, 410 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: and different things we've done, Steve, you know, we've there's 411 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: so many there's so many of these zoom meetings we've 412 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: had basically for the last couple of months that you know, 413 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: we've met individually as position groups. UM, we've had speakers, 414 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: We've met you know, in small groups, whether it be 415 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: you know, the line and the running backs and the 416 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: line and receivers at quarterback, however that may be. And 417 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: then we've also set up you know, kind of little 418 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: mini rooms, if you will, with you know, trying to 419 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: simulate a practice the best we could um where you know, 420 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: there's four coaches kind of assigned to a group with 421 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: each four of the quarterbacks, and then there was you know, 422 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: a certain tight end in each room and certain receivers 423 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: and certain running backs. And then you know, we got 424 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: kind of the way that we did and in our 425 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: group because I'm on the phone and I'm muting myself 426 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: on the zoom, and Josh is with me on the phone, 427 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: and then there's another coach with me and he's doing 428 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: some certain signals, and I'm talking to Josh and Josh 429 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: is talking to the group and they're drawing in on 430 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: you know, a little white board. You know, we try 431 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: to get as creative as we could with it and uh, 432 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: you know, as productive as we could with it. So again, 433 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm pleased with the off season and what the coaches 434 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: and the players did to try to make it as 435 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 1: productive as we could. Know how that translates, I think 436 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: everybody's going to find out. The one thing that's for certain, 437 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: as we need to get as many reps as we 438 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: can possibly get at full speed and so we can 439 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: get the timing down and see it the best we can, 440 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: and that's going to be very important for us on 441 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: the offensive side of the football. Coach, as hard as 442 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: you try to replicate real practice via a whole bunch 443 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: of different device is I mean, Josh was telling us 444 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: how he had you in his ear on his phone 445 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: and he was drawn stuff up on the iPad and 446 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: then calling it out on zoom to his teammates to 447 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: try to replicate what you guys do on the field. 448 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: I want to know just how creative did you get 449 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: to kind of make this fun too, because I think 450 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: we all know attention spans when people are on screens 451 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: can kind of wane sometimes, So I mean, did you 452 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: have to get so creative that you sometimes felt like 453 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: you were doubling as a game show host here to 454 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: quiz guys on playbook stuff like how far did you 455 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: push it? I mean, were you Monty Hall or what 456 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: was how did it? How did it go well? I 457 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: think that you know, the position coach has met with 458 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: them a lot, and each of them have their own 459 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: twist on how to keep the guys engage with. They 460 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: all did a fantastic job. But you know, there's an 461 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: obscene about every game show. You could see just jumping 462 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: into individual meetings based on you know, how Rob Boris 463 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: does it, how Bobby Johnson did it, to how Doors 464 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: did it, and how Skip did it to how Chad 465 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: did it. You know, there's a lot of you know, 466 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of cool games that they play and 467 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: the guys. You know what's interesting is, you know, most 468 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: of us, I'd say all of us in this business 469 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: are highly highly competitive, and you know, even though you're 470 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: on a computer, you can see that come out and 471 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: there's arguments and you know, we captain light, but we 472 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: took care of business. You've added Steph Diggs to the 473 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: wide receiver room, and you know everybody has always said, 474 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: and whether it's two or not, Josh needed this big 475 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: time number one receiver. But it does put a wide 476 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: receiver in that's near the top, if not the top 477 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: guy on your depth chart at wide receiver. How does 478 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: that change your mindset going into the season. Obviously you've 479 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: got a lot to learn about Steph Diggs, But what 480 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: could that do if it was a perfect world and 481 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: a perfect offseason how do you anticipate that changing your offense. Well, 482 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: first of all, you know, I'm very happy that Brandon 483 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: and in our organization acquired him. He's Uh, I've got 484 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: to know him here in the last few months and 485 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: I'm just a big fan of him as a as 486 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: a person and as a teammate. He's been in well 487 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: with the receiving room. Um. You know, and when anytime 488 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: you can add good players, that'll help, you know. I 489 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: think I think Smoke is a pretty good receiver too. Um. 490 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: He had a really good year last year for us, 491 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: and and Beasley, And you know, the more that those 492 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: three and and whoever else sorts himself out, I can 493 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: get involved with with those guys. And you know, chemistry 494 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: is important in that room too. UM. To give more 495 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: options to Josh, you know, that'll that'll you know, that 496 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: should help us. Um how much we'll see. But this 497 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: guy is you know, this guy was a very very 498 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: hard worker in the off season, trying to pick up 499 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: the material the best way he could without going out 500 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: there and do it. And then you know his his 501 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: work on the practice field just from talking to people 502 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: that have been around him. Um, he is a one 503 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: hundred percent one hundred miles our guy all day at practice, 504 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: so you can see how and why he's been productive 505 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: in these in the first few seasons for him. But 506 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: we're happy to have him and we're happy to integrate 507 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: him into the room and get him out there with 508 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: those guys. One guy coach that you know we didn't 509 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to ask you about on the conference 510 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: call last week was Dawson Knox. You know, Josh was 511 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: speaking very highly of him, was talking about how he's 512 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: kind of transformed himself physically, added some lean muscle mass 513 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: m What do you think, especially taking this unusual offseason 514 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: into consideration, what do you think is realistic progress for 515 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: Dawson as he enters year two here. Well, I think 516 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: being in the system for a year is going to help. 517 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: And you got to remember where he came from and 518 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: then you know, as a walk on quarterback and get 519 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: a lot of balls that old miss and then he 520 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: comes up here and you know, missus training camps down 521 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: and then comes in and Dawson is a talented young player, 522 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: and and you hope to see and you usually do, 523 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: you hope to see a considerable or some type of 524 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: improvement from the year one to year two, you know, 525 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: and we're happy to have him. Uh. He fits well 526 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: into our tight end room. He's a you know, athletic, 527 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: athletic big man that can bend and jump and ron 528 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: and catch and block and hopefully, uh, you know, he's 529 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: gonna be ready to go. And um, I think he's 530 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: a good players, he's a good person. We're happy to 531 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: have him on our team. I'm hoping that he's uh 532 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: takes a good jump this this year. What about the 533 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: two rookie or wide receivers that were also added during 534 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: the draft, Gabriel Davis Isaiah Hodgins. You know what you 535 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: see about them, and what do you like about him? 536 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: You know coming into training camp. Yeah, well, again, credit 537 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: to the to the scouts, the scouting staff and Dan 538 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: and Joe and Brandon and everyone else that's involved in that. 539 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: You know, that was a little bit of a different 540 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: thing for us too this year. These two guys are 541 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: very mature, and they fit our build DNA what we 542 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: look for in terms of tough, smart, dependable. They're smart 543 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: and again just crefts this by saying, it's it's hard 544 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: to get a true evaluation to see how they take 545 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: it from the classrooms field and they're able to operate 546 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: it in a quick manner. But on these zoom calls, 547 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: they're well prepared. They are smart, smart young men. You know, 548 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: they've picked up the things that we've installed with them. 549 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: Big body guys have the ability to make some contested 550 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: catches size guys, but also for bigger guys can drop 551 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: their weight and run routes. Now to be interested to see, 552 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, when they get out here with Kaz and 553 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: we're getting press coverage all the time, you know how 554 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: that translates usually a learning her here from college to 555 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: the pros, but urged by what they've done this offseason 556 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: and I can't wait to get out there and work 557 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: with them. I'm a big, big fan of both those 558 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: young men and then with those young guys, coach, you know, 559 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: you kind of touched on it a little bit, but 560 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: I'm looking for you to expand a bit on this. 561 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: You know, you didn't have the on field evaluation time 562 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: with no OTAs and such, and granted it's not necessarily 563 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: real football, as you just mentioned because the pads aren't 564 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: on yet, but absent that evaluation time, how do you 565 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: jam that into training camp to really get the evaluation 566 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: that you want to be sure about people, whether they're 567 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: new to the roster or a young player who's on 568 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: the come but maybe he's not there yet by week one. 569 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: How do you weave that into what you're normally doing 570 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: for a training camp. Yeah, that's a great question, Chris. 571 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: It's stuffed and we're gonna have to stay on top 572 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: of I don't think there's you know, any secret way 573 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: to do it. We're gonna have to get as many 574 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: reps as we can possibly get, you know, with you know, 575 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: the help of you know, our strength and conditioning staff 576 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: and our supports, science and analytics. Um, you know, you 577 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: have to do what's best for the players in training 578 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: camp and make sure you're you're taking care of them. 579 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: But but it is, it's gonna be, it's gonna be 580 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: a challenge this this summer, um trying to you know, 581 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: get as a good of evaluation of these young guys 582 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: as you can, because, like you said, you're missing out on, 583 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of reps that you had in 584 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: the OTAs. But um, you know, again that goes back 585 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: to the scheduling process and songs on top of that 586 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,239 Speaker 1: with with how we're going to do things and um, 587 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: you know again, there's no substitute for repetition. So as 588 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: many as live reps as we can get, UM, we're 589 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: gonna need it because there's a lot of guys to 590 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: look at. But you're also trying to get your guys 591 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: um ready for the opening game, UM, which is a 592 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: little bit different this year than in past based on 593 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: some of the things we've missed. It was Steve Tasker 594 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: and Chris Brown in one Bills Live. We're talking to 595 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's offensive coordinator Brian day Bold. This may be 596 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: the toughest coach. This may be the toughest offseason of 597 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: all time for a rookie to come in and try 598 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: and make a football team. And that plus the fact 599 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: that your roster, even without the guys you drafted, is 600 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: really strong and deep. It's gonna be hard for most 601 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: of these young guys given the abbreviated offseason, the changed 602 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: off season, the weird offseason, however you want to call it, 603 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: not only to come in and prove that they can play, 604 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: but also to play well enough to earn a spot 605 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: on this roster, because this is not the roster you 606 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: had three years ago. Right know, I talked I talked 607 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: to some of these guys last week, particularly the rookies, 608 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: just a little bit about that stead, you know, as 609 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: a former player and how you came about. You know, 610 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: it's it's easy as a young guy to count reps, 611 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: if you will, and it's easy to kind of read 612 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: read things and look outside there really what they need 613 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: to be looking at, and then they start pressing. That's natural. 614 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: I've been that way for a long time since I've 615 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: been in the league. And they're gonna have to really 616 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: do a good job of staying in the moment and 617 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: dominating the things that they can control, whether that's you know, 618 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: six reps or ten reps or however many reps they get. 619 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: And that's just not in a team setting there. I 620 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: told them that's gonna it's gonna have to be their 621 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: mindset and individual work. When you're out there in stretching, 622 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: like everything that you do, you just take it one 623 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: rep at a time. Whatever that's real is because it's 624 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: easy for those young guys to start looking ahead and 625 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: anxiety creeps in and then you're you're your head's not 626 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: in exactly the right spot for a young player, and 627 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, for them not to be here and then 628 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: just get this short amount of window. I really think that, 629 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: you know, we as coaches and support staff and have 630 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: to do a great job of assisting those guys and 631 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: really helping them just stay on tasks with what they 632 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: need to do and not get too far ahead of themselves. Coach, 633 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: just in terms of to do list things, I'm sure 634 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: you've You've got a longer list than we even know about. 635 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: But with some of the additions that you've made, you know, 636 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: I look at you know, your red zone touchdown efficiency 637 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: from last year, which I think was around almost fifty 638 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: seven percent. I think it was the middle of the 639 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: pack in the league. Now with Digs and what he 640 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: can do, and knowing his scoring proficiency alone twenty three 641 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: touchdowns the last three seasons, which is like tied for 642 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: fifth in the league over that span, and the way 643 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: in which Zach Moss can run the football and get 644 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: yards after contact, you know, when you need tough yards 645 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: in the red zone. I'm not trying to put too 646 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: much on a rookie shoulders, but just adding players of 647 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: that caliber, how much do you feel it will help 648 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: in the point production in the red area. Yeah, that's 649 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that's something that we work on. Chris early 650 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: on in the camp. UM usually within the first day 651 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: or two. I think it would be probably the first 652 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: day this year when we're out there. The red zone 653 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: obviously is an important part of the field. Anytime you 654 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,479 Speaker 1: can have players that can help you down there, whether 655 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: they can create short space, quickness or size those or 656 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: ability to get downhill and break some tackles, that always helps. 657 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: The field is condensed. You're seeing different types of defenses, 658 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 1: and the more the more skilled players that you can 659 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: have UM to create mismatches and beat some match coverage 660 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: and you know, when one guy gets doubled, another guy 661 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,439 Speaker 1: has to win. Those are those are all important things. 662 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: So you know we're gonna have to do a good 663 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: jobs the early part of training camp and the installation 664 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: schedule of getting some core things in and also, like 665 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: you just mentioned, evaluate some of these new guys and 666 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,439 Speaker 1: what they really do well down there. You can watch 667 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: Minnesota or Utah or Central Florida or Organ State or 668 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: really any of the new guys that we had. You 669 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: got to make sure that in terms of your system 670 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: and what you do that message and if it doesn't 671 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: mess and you see something else out there early camp, 672 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: you've got to be ready to adjust and switching to 673 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: what you know they really do well. We got a 674 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,760 Speaker 1: good feel from studying them on tape of their strengths 675 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: and some of their weaknesses, and we're going to try 676 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: to use that. Accordingly, coach, two years ago, your offensive 677 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: line struggled to win at the point of attack. Last 678 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: year they were much much better and drove the team 679 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: to you know, a ten win season, or helped drive 680 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: him to a ten win season. And then this year 681 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: you've also brought in more depth and more competition for 682 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: training camp. What you know, what are your expectations for 683 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 1: the guys up front? We spend a lot of time 684 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: here on this show talking about Josh and Steph Biggs 685 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: and the wide receivers, just like we've done today, but 686 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: the offensive line maybe the engine that runs the offense 687 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: and helps Josh to be as successful as you can be. 688 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: What's your hopes for this offensive line this year? And 689 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: what will change is what might we see? Yeah, there's 690 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: no question about that, and that's where that's where it 691 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: all starts. And everyone on our offense knows that those 692 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: five guys and whoever else sorts itself out. You know, 693 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: we had a d well from Caroline and Bame and 694 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: you know, we got Spencer back at Nike, and you 695 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: know we have you know, we have some depth there. Um, 696 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: we'll see how that sorts itself out. But you credit 697 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, Bobby Johnson and Hath Wendy with with the 698 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: guys that we got in. Most of them were all 699 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: new besides Dion and and Deon has done a fantastic 700 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: job this offseason. He's just you know, he's a lot. 701 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: He's I don't want to say he's grown up, but 702 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: he's really grown up in the last couple of years 703 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: I've been around. I've got a tremendous amount of respect. 704 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: He's been a good leader in that room for us. 705 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: And you know we brought back Q and you know 706 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: Mitch and Felice and Cody and Tie like those guys are, 707 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: they're close knit group. And you know, to play that position, 708 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: you usually got to see it through the same set 709 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: of eyes. All five guys got to be on the 710 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: same page where you know, for you know, receiver makes 711 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: a mistake, you know, and sometimes you know that's that's 712 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: not acceptable, but it's it's not as bad as when 713 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: one line makes a mistake and then it causes the 714 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,879 Speaker 1: other four to not be able to do their job. 715 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: So that's where it all starts for us, whether it's 716 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: a run game or the pass game. Have a lot 717 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: of confidence in those guys. They have another year together, 718 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: they're all smart, they're all tough. M having some new 719 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: pieces for competition and we'll see how it unfolds. But 720 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: there's no question about it, Steve, those guys you not 721 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 1: to get lost in the shuffle. I know that receivers 722 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: in the backs and the tight ends and the quarterbacks 723 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: are want to talk about all the time, but these 724 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,919 Speaker 1: are the guys that drive the engine for us. All right, Coach, 725 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: I know you've got a little downtime here coming up, 726 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 1: so I do have to ask you before we let 727 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: you go. I know you have a particular affinity for 728 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: mixing Welch's grape juice with sprite, but is there a 729 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: particular summer? Is there a particular summer to drink that, 730 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: uh that you partake in more than that? Even No, 731 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: I'm pretty I'm a pretty simple guy. Drink sparkling water. 732 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: That's about what I drink, and fun about it. That's 733 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: all you got by the pool, That's it. Yeah, that's 734 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 1: all I got right now? I got this big jug 735 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: of water. You know, I'm trying to trying to shed 736 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: a few pounds out in you know, or knows I 737 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: need to do that, so um, you know it's it's uh, 738 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: it's a beautiful time here in the in the summer 739 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: in Western New York. You and the players go all 740 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: over in the coach's actification. But there's this about the 741 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: best place you can be uh year around, but in 742 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: particular in the summertime, there's there's nothing like Western New 743 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: York and the weather. It's just, uh, it's a great 744 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: place to be. Well, Brian, thanks for spending some time 745 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: with us today.

We got this big 759 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 1: Twitter question we haven't even gotten to yet. We had 760 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: Brian day Ball on for the last I don't know, 761 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: half hour or so, Brownie, and he, you know, I 762 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: get it. I like talking to the guy. He's a 763 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: great dude. But man, he's he sticks to generalities, doesn't he. Well, 764 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: I think partly in his defense, it's hard for him 765 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: to paint the picture for you this offseason, maybe more 766 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: than any other. Yeah, you know, And at the same time, 767 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: that's what that's what play callers do this time. He 768 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: kind of keep their cards close to the vest. Like 769 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: I was trying to just see if he could share 770 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: any of that creative stuff they even did during this 771 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 1: virtual offseason, you know, in terms of keeping guys entertained 772 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: and engaged and how they learn. And I don't even 773 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: think they want to divulge any of that and let 774 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: other teams use it and help their players learn. You know, 775 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: He's always played it close to the vest and I 776 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, and you know this too, Brown, You've heard 777 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: me say this before. There's nobody It used to be 778 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: like the most popular guy in town's the backup quarterback, 779 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: right when so when the bad guy, when the starters 780 00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: playing bad, everybody thinks, we let's get the other guy 781 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: in there. Right. Nobody takes more slings and arrows than 782 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: offensive coordinators in the National Football League because everybody feels 783 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: like they can call plays and everybody feels like they 784 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 1: can predict what this offensive coordinator is going to do. 785 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: Brian Daball took a lot of heat last year. Well 786 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: most if not all of it, I thought was unjustified 787 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: because of you know what he's working with. I mean, 788 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: he's he's trying to nurse Josh into a develop you know, 789 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: a developing quarterback. And you know, he called a few 790 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: plays last year that were just like, oh, you know, 791 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: and Josh he couldn't hit him, you know, they couldn't 792 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 1: hit him, you know, or Josh made the wrong decision, 793 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: you know, and uh and it was you know, so 794 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: he like it like a good coach does. He's perfectly 795 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: willing to take all the criticism for his players. But 796 00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: for me, particularly as a former player, I always kind 797 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: of laid at the feet of the players. I never 798 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: laid at the feet of the offensive coordinator. Yeah, coach 799 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: isn't gonna do that though, you know that, Yeah, especially 800 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: him of all people, right, you're not gonna Yeah, particularly 801 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: the coaches don't have a problem doing and they know 802 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,240 Speaker 1: what they sign up for, you know, and he and sometimes, 803 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: let's face it costs them their jobs because after you know, 804 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: this player keeps on doing and they you know, all 805 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the guy, you know, take loses his 806 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: job because this player just won't get it right and 807 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: you have no choice but to play the guy. And 808 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: the other thing too is if you don't have your 809 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: players back, how the heck do you expect to get 810 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: the most out of him on a Sunday when it 811 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: really counts. I mean, and that's ultimately what you need. 812 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: You neat them given their best on a Sunday, and 813 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: you got to kind of let them know you've got 814 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: their back. So maybe when you have a mess up, 815 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, you take it on the chin for him 816 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: and you earn all the more respect that way. Um. 817 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: I was. I was interested to just try to get 818 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: some kind of peek into how this training camps is 819 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: gonna look, knowing they've got to make up for lost 820 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: time in a big way in a number of different areas. 821 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: Not only you know, everybody's been talking about timing in 822 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,320 Speaker 1: the passing game, and I know he touched on that 823 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: with him because it is one of the hardest things 824 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: to nail down in limited practice time. So I understand 825 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 1: that that's going to move up on the priority list 826 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,439 Speaker 1: in terms of how practice is structured with installs and such. 827 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: But the evaluation steve for players that are new to 828 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: the roster and bringing rookies along, where there might how 829 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,760 Speaker 1: many instances are we going to see across the NFL 830 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: this summer steve where you've got a kid who's showing 831 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: you flashes of potential, but because he didn't get to 832 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: rep anything in OTAs in mini camp, you're maybe he 833 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 1: doesn't quite Maybe people don't want to pull the trigger 834 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 1: and stick him on the roster anyway and hope he 835 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: gets it in week or a week five. You know, 836 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot more projecting here for the 837 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: coaching staffs across the league, not just here in Buffalo, 838 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: but across the league. Because of that lack of on 839 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 1: field time. I mean, you don't have practice tape from 840 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: May to watch now and evaluate and say, oh, you know, 841 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: this kid really is getting look at that, he's just playing. 842 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: He's not thinking. You don't have any of that to 843 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 1: go off of going into training camp now, right. And 844 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: here's the thing too, I mean the coaches and I 845 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: was talking about, you know, coach, you know, taking one 846 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 1: for the team. You know, when these players aren't aren't 847 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 1: executing the plays properly, or don't make the right checks 848 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: and calls and all that stuff, and when they're not 849 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 1: running exactly like he told them to run it or 850 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: coach them to run it, they don't mind taking a 851 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,760 Speaker 1: bullet for the for those kind of players, because particularly 852 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: when they know those players are really working hard, like 853 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 1: you know, well, Josh is working hard. He wants to 854 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 1: get better. He's doing all the little things. He's doing 855 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 1: the stuff that you'd love a quarterback to do. So 856 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,719 Speaker 1: it's easier for day ball, you know, to sit there 857 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: after a game when doesn't go quite right, to say, yea, 858 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,800 Speaker 1: I'll take that in the public eye. That's fine because 859 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 1: I know how hard this guy's working. He wants to 860 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,839 Speaker 1: get it right and they in it, and that kind 861 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: of that goes a long way for coaches when they've 862 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: got players who are smart, hard working and tough and 863 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: want to do the right thing, and for whatever reason, 864 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, you have a bad play here and there. 865 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: So coaches are more apt to say, you know what's cool, 866 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: I get it because the kid is really you know, 867 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 1: he's given me as all anyway. So that's that's different, 868 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: you know. So while you do sign up to kind 869 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 1: of for that as a coach, it's easier to do 870 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 1: when you know you've got good players. And that's why, Yeah, 871 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 1: I think that's why the culture here in Buffalo seems 872 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: to work so well because they do have hard working players. 873 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,479 Speaker 1: They do have um players that care, you know, about 874 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: each other and about everything about a coaches, you know, 875 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,919 Speaker 1: So it's easier for a guy like Brian Dayball where 876 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: some offensive coordinators will take up you know, will take 877 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: a hammering in the media and not like it too 878 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 1: much because they got players that they don't like or 879 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: respect and the players, you know what I mean, a 880 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: bad toxic atmosphere. So that's why this culture in Buffalo 881 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 1: I think works so well. Even if you've got a 882 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 1: quarterback like Josh you's still developing. Yeah, I agree one 883 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 1: hundred percent. But they only recruit and look for players 884 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: that are self motivated to begin with because they know 885 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,399 Speaker 1: that makes the whole building process that much easier. But Steve, 886 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: we are almost an hour into this show and we 887 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: have not mentioned the twitter poll. I know it's my fault. 888 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: It's my fault, but you know what, Well, we've been busy. 889 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: It's not like we haven't been busy here, but yeah, 890 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 1: let's see this up for the next hour. All right, 891 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: here we go for the next hour. Here's our twitter Pollum. 892 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: It starts with go ahead, bron and give him the 893 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,320 Speaker 1: Twitter Polena, I'm out of the well screen. Were we 894 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, a lot of the young 895 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 1: talent on the defensive side of the ball, and how 896 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 1: a lot of NFL prognosticators are like over the moon 897 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: about how good this Bill's defense is going to be, 898 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: even though it's been oh, by the way, it's been 899 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 1: top five the last two years. Only now does it 900 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 1: seem that national prognosticators are on the bandwagon for what 901 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: has been a top flight Bills defense the last two years. 902 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: So knowing how much they expect out of this defense, 903 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: we'd figure we'd look at that side of the ball 904 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 1: a little bit more and look at some of the 905 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 1: young cornerstone type talent. And so what we're asking is 906 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: which Buffalo Bills defensive player twenty five years or younger 907 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 1: as the brightest future and why? And your choices are 908 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: Trudeaus White, Tremaine Edmunds, ed Oliver and other. So right now, 909 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,320 Speaker 1: Tredavious is in the lead with fifty four percent of 910 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 1: the vote, a little more than half. Tremaine though a 911 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 1: respectable showing here at forty one point three percent, and 912 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: then ed Oliver is trailing. He is a distant third. 913 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: And you know, I think I know why there's more 914 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 1: of a book on White and on Edmonds for fans 915 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 1: to chew on. They've seen the potential. Trey has already 916 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 1: made a Pro Bowl, So I understand why the votes 917 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,879 Speaker 1: going this way. But I did not vote for Trudavious White, 918 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: not because I don't think he has a bright future, 919 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: but I think because he's already realized and accomplished a 920 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: lot in his in his three years into Bill's uniform. 921 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: I think the ceiling is actually there's more to Tremaine 922 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 1: Edmund's ceiling right now than there is to Tredavious White. 923 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: I think Tredavious White is almost at his peak at 924 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 1: a performer as a performer, So right, So I voted 925 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: for Tremaine, but I don't know people feel differently. Chime in, 926 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: hit us up on the tweet sheet or call us 927 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: at eight oh three five fifty Steve Tasker, Chris Brown. 928 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna be here till three o'clock.

We'll get to some of the your answers 930 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 1: to that question of which Young Bill's player has the 931 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: biggest upside, whether it's Tremaine, Tredavious or Ed Oliver. And 932 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 1: we'll be back with more after this.

Looking Brown told Block 935 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about we just had a big conversation with 936 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 1: Brian Dable just a few minutes ago, and we are 937 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 1: also going to talk up to you about who do 938 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 1: you think the Young Bills players it's got the brightest future. 939 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: We gave you a couple of choices on the tweet sheet. 940 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: You can tweet us or call Us at eight h 941 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 1: three oh five fifty and Brownie, you had an article 942 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: that on the Buffalo Bill's website. It's titled seven Superlatives 943 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 1: that describe the twenty twenty Bills offseason. We it's it's 944 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: been rare, but it's been really prevalent this year, Brownie, 945 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 1: that there's a lot of things for Bills fans to 946 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,360 Speaker 1: look forward to this year, and what's happened in this 947 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 1: offseason h is kind of the tip of the is 948 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: kind of the latest in a long string of things 949 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,800 Speaker 1: that have made people pretty optimistic about the Bills chances 950 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 1: this year, right And unfortunately, you know, fans are frothing 951 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: at the mouth to see how the team's coming along 952 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: and how they're developing. And obviously that's all been muted 953 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,880 Speaker 1: by the pandemic that everybody's trying to adjust their lives 954 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 1: under with all the restrictions and everything from mask wearing 955 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: to hand washing to things being shut down. So we 956 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 1: tried to take a different look at that, and I 957 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,240 Speaker 1: know we'll get into that later here in this segment, 958 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: after we hit up the tweet sheet right right exactly, 959 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: and the tweet sheet that we got to just before 960 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 1: we went to break, And the real question is for 961 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: Bills fans, who which of the Bills players are really 962 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,799 Speaker 1: good players they're twenty five or under. I mean, we've 963 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,399 Speaker 1: got a young roster. Which are the Bills players twenty 964 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 1: five or younger are going to have the brightest future? 965 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 1: And why Tredavious White at all? Tremaine Edmonds and we 966 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,839 Speaker 1: started to get some feedback, obviously from from the world 967 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 1: at large. From Jack, he says on the tweet sheet. 968 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:09,840 Speaker 1: The tweet sheet, by the way, brought to you by 969 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,800 Speaker 1: Corgan Moving Systems, the official moving equipment moving of the 970 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. From Jack, he says, I think they all 971 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 1: have a bright future. But White has already arrived. He's 972 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,800 Speaker 1: fast becoming a league fan favorite and a superstar. He 973 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 1: displays the talent to be a top tier elite coverman 974 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL and has the fun personnel personality to 975 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 1: garner the fan esteem an opposing game plan attention around 976 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,160 Speaker 1: the National Football League. And there is some of that. 977 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll tell you this though, and it's not 978 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,000 Speaker 1: for nothing. It's hard to stay at the top of 979 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 1: that at a position that is that calls for such 980 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 1: an elite skill set as cornerback. Is treday he's gonna 981 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,800 Speaker 1: put together an entire decade the way he has the 982 00:51:54,880 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 1: last three seasons. Maybe maybe he's certainly there's no sign 983 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 1: of slowing down. In fact, this last year he was 984 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 1: all Pro. That means he was considered one of the 985 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: top two corners in the league. Oh yeah, and his 986 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: numbers kind of demonstrated that. But you're right, you know 987 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 1: you hear Belichick's mantra of no days off for cornerbacks. 988 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 1: There are no plays off, right, because one playoff can 989 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:25,320 Speaker 1: make you look at you're gonna be embarrassed in this league. 990 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 1: So if there's ever a position where you literally cannot 991 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: sleep for a second, it's probably corner. And there's probably 992 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 1: a couple of others, but that's the first one that 993 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 1: comes to mind for me. So to know how consistent 994 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,920 Speaker 1: he has been in his three seasons is pretty remarkable. 995 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 1: I saw an advanced metric stat on completion percentage against 996 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,720 Speaker 1: him when his cover target is or is the primary 997 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,800 Speaker 1: target when his receiver receiver assignments the primary target, and 998 00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: he was far and away first in the league. So 999 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just doing some special, special, elite things. 1000 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,880 Speaker 1: But like I was saying before, we got to the 1001 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,800 Speaker 1: top of the hour, Steve. That's one of the reasons 1002 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,720 Speaker 1: why I voted for Tremaine Edmonds because I think Trey 1003 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:16,279 Speaker 1: is much closer to the peak of his career of 1004 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, what he's ultimately going to be year in 1005 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 1: and year out, than Tremaine is. I think there is 1006 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: so much ceiling yet to reach. On Tremaine, I would 1007 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:30,360 Speaker 1: argue that he has the brightest future now. I'm not 1008 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,279 Speaker 1: convinced he's going to be an even better player at 1009 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,800 Speaker 1: his position than Tredevious White is at his but I 1010 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 1: think there's more. There's a lot more to come from 1011 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,680 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds that we haven't even seen yet. Where Tradus White, 1012 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: I kind of think we all know what he's what 1013 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,480 Speaker 1: he is because he's shown it so much already over 1014 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,400 Speaker 1: his first three seasons. Yeah, and but there's no guarantees 1015 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 1: that Tremaine will ever reach the kind of status that 1016 00:53:55,840 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 1: Trevis is, and that by choosing Tremaine Edmonds, you believe 1017 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 1: not only is he going to get to where Tardavious 1018 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 1: is now, he's gonna get surpass him. And I think 1019 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 1: one of the things that's that's hard to anticipate with 1020 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,839 Speaker 1: all this Brownie is the longevity. Longevity is a big 1021 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 1: key to this. A bright future in the NFL includes 1022 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,879 Speaker 1: more than one or two years of good play. It's 1023 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,480 Speaker 1: it's a second contract, a third contract. It's one of 1024 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,320 Speaker 1: these guys like a Darrell Rievas who goes to a 1025 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,239 Speaker 1: couple of different teams and shines in whatever system they 1026 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:32,399 Speaker 1: put him in. That I'm not saying that I think 1027 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 1: Tardavious Whit or Tremaine Edmonds is going to play for 1028 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 1: somebody else. My point is, you gotta do this. You 1029 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,240 Speaker 1: gotta string together a lot of really, really good years 1030 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 1: in order to have a future of the kind we're 1031 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: talking about in this Twitter poll. Yeah, and I the 1032 00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: thing I'm most interested in concerning Edmonds is whether or 1033 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:59,359 Speaker 1: not his assignments get a little more diversified this year, 1034 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: because I harkened back to the role he played at 1035 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech when he was largely a strong sidebacker and 1036 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 1: in pass rushing situations he was up on the line 1037 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 1: as a blitzer off the edge. I mean, you have 1038 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 1: a guy that is that long, you know what I mean? Like, 1039 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 1: I think he could be a weapon for the Bills. 1040 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,279 Speaker 1: And now that you no longer have Lorenzo Alexander, who 1041 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 1: was that hybrid guy that should put in the pass 1042 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 1: rush package. I wonder, yeah, I wonder if if they 1043 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:38,120 Speaker 1: utilize Tremaine even just a little bit differently every once 1044 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: in a while and instead of lining up in those 1045 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,239 Speaker 1: double A gaps like he and Milano do on those 1046 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: passing downs and then sometimes they're coming, sometimes they're dropping. 1047 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 1: I wonder if they you know, motion him out on 1048 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 1: the edge a little bit, or just kind of mess 1049 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 1: with you know, the opposing quarterback a little bit, and 1050 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you put a J. Klein in the 1051 00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: double A gap with Lano and then maybe you have 1052 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 1: Tremaine as one of your front four as a rusher 1053 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,239 Speaker 1: off the edge. I mean, I'd be really intrigued if 1054 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,680 Speaker 1: they diversify some of his assignments, especially on passing downs 1055 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,439 Speaker 1: this year. Well here's the thing, though, Brown and mental 1056 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 1: linebacker is a little bit different obviously than corner and 1057 00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,360 Speaker 1: not just to safety obvious, But here's the thing. A 1058 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 1: lot of what they'll ask Tremaine Edmonds to do will 1059 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: depend on whether Matt Milano is doing what he's supposed 1060 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: to do or if they have a guy that comes in, 1061 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:29,880 Speaker 1: If if J Klein comes in and all of a 1062 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: sudden he gives them something they didn't depend on. They'll 1063 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 1: ask Tremaine Edmunds to do more if they don't have 1064 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 1: anybody else can do anything, right, you know what I mean. Yeah, 1065 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 1: they would love to keep him in the role that 1066 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 1: they've got because, let's face it, they've got a lot 1067 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,839 Speaker 1: of faith in their defensive scheme right now, and then 1068 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 1: well they should if they've got guys that can do 1069 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,520 Speaker 1: more things. That means the guys around and will have 1070 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 1: to do less things, you know what I'm saying. So 1071 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 1: the only reason they'll change Tremaine Edmund's role in any way, 1072 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 1: shape or form is if they feel they're deficient someplace. 1073 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 1: Because the guy is a physical freak. He can do 1074 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,359 Speaker 1: just about anything he wants to do, but they'll want 1075 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,439 Speaker 1: him to do certain things in the defense. I don't 1076 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,319 Speaker 1: think I guess what I'm saying is, I don't think 1077 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,080 Speaker 1: they'll ask him to be that diverse if unless they 1078 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 1: his diversity is the best weapon they've got. Yeah, I 1079 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 1: think Malone let him keeping right. They don't need him 1080 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,439 Speaker 1: to line up on the edge because they got guys, 1081 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, They don't need to tip 1082 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,560 Speaker 1: their hand or do something like that because they don't 1083 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 1: need an extra rusher on the outside, because you know, 1084 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 1: they got a guy that's better than Tremaine on the edge, 1085 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I think the reason 1086 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 1: he's you know, when when you see a guy being 1087 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 1: asked to do a lot is because he's doing a 1088 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,960 Speaker 1: lot and all those little things he's doing better than 1089 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 1: anybody else they got on their roster can do him. Uh, 1090 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,200 Speaker 1: That's that's when you've got a roster that needs some help. 1091 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,640 Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills roster is in that spot. 1092 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 1: And a plus, name me a position on the NFL. 1093 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 1: Name me a position on the defense where it's harder 1094 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,040 Speaker 1: to evaluate how good a guy is unless you really know, 1095 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,160 Speaker 1: unless you watch film and you know what you're looking at. 1096 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,080 Speaker 1: Right running back, the guy put the give the guy 1097 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 1: the ball, what's he looked like? Wow, Yeah, he's pretty good. 1098 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 1: That's all you need. Yeah, you know when and a 1099 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 1: middle linebacker, you almost have to watch film and study 1100 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 1: what the assignments are, what he's being asked to do 1101 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 1: to find out if the guy's any good. So for 1102 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people saying whether Tremaine Edmonds has a 1103 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: bright future if he's playing. They figure he's got a future, right, 1104 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 1: because they don't. It's hard to evaluate middle linebacker, does 1105 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: he They gave him the keys to the defense at 1106 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:42,640 Speaker 1: age twenty, so it's a pretty good starting spire, right 1107 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,479 Speaker 1: all right? Listen from Eli. Also from the tweet, Eli says, 1108 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,400 Speaker 1: Trey whitez already elite. I voted Edmunds because he's the 1109 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,360 Speaker 1: quarterback of the defense and will have his hands full 1110 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:57,120 Speaker 1: and he will be a beast soon. He's Edmunds. I 1111 00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 1: don't know. Not everybody gets a chance to do this, right. 1112 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 1: I mean, have you ever seen hit Termaine in person? 1113 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:08,720 Speaker 1: It's it gives you pause. It's not a thing about 1114 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,560 Speaker 1: how yeah if you if he gives you pause when 1115 00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 1: you see him on the field and watch him run 1116 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,960 Speaker 1: around and how fast he moving, how athletically is and 1117 00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 1: then you stand next to him in the room and 1118 00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 1: how and get a load of how tall and long 1119 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,440 Speaker 1: he is, you think, wow, I you know what, I 1120 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: don't think I could ever play professional football ever if 1121 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 1: that's the kind of guy that's in there. I remember 1122 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 1: his rookie year. I think we had a quarterback miked up. 1123 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 1: I want to say it was A. J. Mccaren was 1124 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,480 Speaker 1: miked up in training camp and it was Edmund's rookie camp, 1125 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 1: and he's playing middle linebacker and mccaren drops back and 1126 00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,880 Speaker 1: he's looking to deliver that ball over the middle where 1127 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 1: you drop it over the linebacker and underneath the safety, 1128 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, to a guy on a cross her or something. 1129 00:59:56,280 --> 01:00:01,440 Speaker 1: And it's we're talking like fifteen to eighteen yards down field, okay, 1130 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 1: And mccaron puts some good arc on this pass to 1131 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 1: drop it over the lineback. Well, the linebacker's Edmonds, and 1132 01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 1: he closes the space, but he extends his arm up 1133 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 1: in the air and speaking to his length, he's probably 1134 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,240 Speaker 1: ten feet his hand is probably ten and a half 1135 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,200 Speaker 1: feet in the air, and he knocks the pass down. 1136 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 1: And so we went back and listened to AJ because 1137 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: we were editing it for a piece for Buffalo Bills 1138 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 1: dot Com. And after that play, AJ goes it was 1139 01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,560 Speaker 1: his last snap of his series in camp there, so 1140 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 1: he goes back into the huddle area and I can't 1141 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 1: remember who it was who the other quarterback was It 1142 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 1: slipping my mind. Anyway, he's talking to the other quarterback 1143 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,479 Speaker 1: who was not rotated in Josh went back in or whatever, 1144 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:49,240 Speaker 1: and he says, well, that's not really a pass you 1145 01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 1: can throw with him out there, because yeah, he's got 1146 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 1: length that no one else has and he can get 1147 01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 1: to that pass. He's like, I threw that as as 1148 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 1: well as I can throw that pass, and it still 1149 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:08,840 Speaker 1: didn't get there because this guy's a freakazoit. And I 1150 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 1: saw Brady try the same pass last year and Edmonds 1151 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 1: broke that up and you can't. There's some things you 1152 01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: can't do against that guy that you normally can get 1153 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:24,560 Speaker 1: away with in the league against other middle linebackers. Because 1154 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:28,880 Speaker 1: he is of unusual physical stature. It's just it's as 1155 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 1: simple as that, yeah, which is why we're standing here saying. 1156 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 1: You know what, the you always get the feeling a 1157 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,360 Speaker 1: guy like Tremaine Edmonds when you stand next to him. 1158 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,080 Speaker 1: It's like it's hard for him to be an underachiever 1159 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:47,640 Speaker 1: because he's just so gifted physically, and and the guy 1160 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 1: really hasn't been. He's he's he's a superhuman out there. 1161 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy covers ground, makes tackles, he's so 1162 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 1: gifted physically. He does he's doing things other guys can't do. 1163 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 1: And I know this too. He what he really does 1164 01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,880 Speaker 1: and what you're saying, even with the AJ mccaren's story, 1165 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 1: the guy is all over your vision as a quarterback. 1166 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 1: If you're throwing it to that side of the field 1167 01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 1: and he's standing in the middle of that field, you 1168 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 1: really get a sense of It's like trying to throw 1169 01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,680 Speaker 1: around a tree, you know. I mean, it's like, yeah, 1170 01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, because because you're over like quarterbacks feel like 1171 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 1: if you're gonna throw it and if he's standing ten 1172 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,600 Speaker 1: yards away and he sees the ball, he's gonna be 1173 01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,320 Speaker 1: able to react to it. So you've got to get 1174 01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:31,000 Speaker 1: it outside of his reach, right, And I think his 1175 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:35,320 Speaker 1: wingspan is something like seven and a half feet something. Yeah, 1176 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,960 Speaker 1: So I get a lot of people I get. I 1177 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,720 Speaker 1: understand exactly why people think, you know, Tremaine Edmonds is 1178 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,880 Speaker 1: gonna be I'll tell you this, He's gonna be playing 1179 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 1: football for as long as he wants to. Well, yeah, 1180 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,120 Speaker 1: as long as he stays healthy. Absolutely, And you know, 1181 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,280 Speaker 1: this is his third year in this defense. I mean, 1182 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,440 Speaker 1: it's really if you thought it was starting third year 1183 01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 1: twenty two. He made the Pro Bowl last year, So 1184 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, if you thought if you thought it was 1185 01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: starting to click last year, wait until this year, you know, 1186 01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,320 Speaker 1: third year, the scheme running thing. I mean, he's gonna 1187 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:03,920 Speaker 1: know it like the back of his hand. Now, he's 1188 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:05,440 Speaker 1: not even gonna have to think about it. He's just 1189 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,080 Speaker 1: gonna call it and let's go. Yeah, it's his third 1190 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,960 Speaker 1: year in the Devon. He's not even twenty three yet. Yeah, 1191 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:15,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he'll turn twenty three later this this offseason. Actually, no, 1192 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: I think he's so he was twenty when he got drafted. 1193 01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,600 Speaker 1: He was nineteen when he got drafted, twenty in May. 1194 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,920 Speaker 1: So he just turned twenty one last May, and so 1195 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 1: he just turned It won't be twenty three until next May. Okay, 1196 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 1: all right, all right, Steve Tasker, Chris Brown, we're here 1197 01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,600 Speaker 1: till three o'clock. We're talking about which Buffalo Bill's player 1198 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 1: and one of the star players, younger players that are 1199 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 1: twenty five years or younger. And and there's, uh, there's 1200 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:47,760 Speaker 1: a lot to choose from. And it's trade. We got 1201 01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:51,800 Speaker 1: three actually three defenders, and it's Tredavious White, ed Oliver, 1202 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,840 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds. And I don't know, do you think do 1203 01:03:54,960 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 1: you think the incident with ed Oliver um and and 1204 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,240 Speaker 1: the brush he had with the with the Police's last 1205 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,120 Speaker 1: off Singe. You think that cool people on their their 1206 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,520 Speaker 1: opinion of him and what his future could be. I 1207 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,080 Speaker 1: don't know. I think obviously we got to see how 1208 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,360 Speaker 1: it plays out legally down there, because if it doesn't 1209 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 1: go his way, there will be NFL discipline to answer to. 1210 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought he was coming on in 1211 01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 1: the second half of the season. I thought one of 1212 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 1: his better games was the Thanksgiving Day game against Dallas. 1213 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he played really well in that game. 1214 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 1: And that was about the time when they started to 1215 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 1: plug him in a little bit more because of you know, 1216 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 1: it sit deep into the season and he'd been you know, 1217 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 1: he'd acclimated, and now they kind of had a handle 1218 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,520 Speaker 1: on him, and he had a handle on what he 1219 01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 1: was supposed to do. And I think with more edged 1220 01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 1: talent on the roster now, you know, Mario Addison chief 1221 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:51,720 Speaker 1: among them, Quentin Jefferson is a handful. Yeah, I think it. 1222 01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:56,120 Speaker 1: I think it will inevitably open up more opportunities for 1223 01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 1: Oliver inside because you're not going to be able to 1224 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,520 Speaker 1: just say, hey, let's ed and figure out the rest 1225 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 1: after that. I don't know if you can do that 1226 01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 1: when you have a defensive end with four consecutive seasons 1227 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 1: of nine sacks or more coming off one side and 1228 01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes off the other, where you can just say, oh, 1229 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 1: I will double Ed and well we'll handle the other 1230 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 1: ones one on one. I mean you're not. You're not 1231 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:20,440 Speaker 1: going to come out on the right end of the 1232 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 1: stick with that all that often if that's your approach. 1233 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 1: So I think Ed's gonna have a lot more one 1234 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 1: on one on one opportunities and that should translate into 1235 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,960 Speaker 1: even more production than he had this past year. And 1236 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,600 Speaker 1: and Harrison Phillips is going to be back healthy, and 1237 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:39,280 Speaker 1: I think that's another interior player that was just starting 1238 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,560 Speaker 1: to come on before he suffered the ac ele entry 1239 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,640 Speaker 1: in Week three last year. And I think that's another 1240 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,840 Speaker 1: guy that could potentially command some attention right next to 1241 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,520 Speaker 1: him in certain situations. So I think Ed will have 1242 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,240 Speaker 1: more favorable matchups. I guess that's a long winded way 1243 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,240 Speaker 1: of saying that. Yeah, I get it too, And it's 1244 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:57,920 Speaker 1: easy to see why. You know, you get how to 1245 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 1: get there because you know, the better the players around 1246 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:05,480 Speaker 1: unless the less assets the offense has to commit to you. UM, 1247 01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 1: so Ed should get some more space to work in 1248 01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,080 Speaker 1: and he probably will and that's you know, so that's 1249 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:16,160 Speaker 1: a that's an easy h an easy you know scenario 1250 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:17,720 Speaker 1: that you can conjure up to say, you know what, 1251 01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 1: Ed Oliver might have a really breakout year this year 1252 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,520 Speaker 1: at the at the three technique, particularly in passing to 1253 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,600 Speaker 1: his situations. Harrison Phillips is a guy too you could 1254 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:30,000 Speaker 1: you could make a case for, but he he really was. 1255 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:35,920 Speaker 1: I think he really crippled the coaching staff's plan when 1256 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,640 Speaker 1: he went down. I think his absence really hurt their 1257 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,200 Speaker 1: staff because they were he was going to be in there. 1258 01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 1: His mindset and his ability to call those pass rush 1259 01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 1: schemes was really something they were going to rely on. 1260 01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: And he went down in Week three against Cincinnati and 1261 01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 1: you know, that was done. He was done for the year, 1262 01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 1: and so I think they really had some adjusting to do. 1263 01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. The Red Zoe was the other guy 1264 01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,640 Speaker 1: that would call those pass rush games. He was kind 1265 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:06,840 Speaker 1: of like the one a guy, so it all fell 1266 01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 1: to him after that, right, Steve Tasker, along with Chris 1267 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,520 Speaker 1: Browner here to three o'clock, what the Buffalo Bills defender 1268 01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 1: at twenty five years or younger has the brightest future 1269 01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 1: you can call us at eight oh three oh five 1270 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,280 Speaker 1: fifty or tweet at us at at one Bill's Live.

I mean, it's been such a weird offseason. 1294 01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,000 Speaker 1: Where do you start when you start looking for things 1295 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,479 Speaker 1: that they did well? Because it's you know, how do 1296 01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,640 Speaker 1: you know they are superlatives? Because of the way this 1297 01:08:55,800 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 1: offseason went. Yeah, we tried to keep it light just 1298 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,519 Speaker 1: it's kind of more of a fun exercise than it 1299 01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:07,760 Speaker 1: was a hardcore analysis type exercise. And with all that 1300 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,840 Speaker 1: was different, I think there were different things to kind 1301 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,400 Speaker 1: of take a look at and maybe shed some more 1302 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,160 Speaker 1: light on that you normally wouldn't see in the course 1303 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,240 Speaker 1: of a regular offseason. So, you know, we had some 1304 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,600 Speaker 1: unique categories that we decided to go with, including you know, 1305 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,200 Speaker 1: it was the best quarantine workout. Obviously, a lot of 1306 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:29,240 Speaker 1: the players on the Bill's roster are active on social media, 1307 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,840 Speaker 1: and Matt Barkley's one of them, and he got pretty 1308 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:38,479 Speaker 1: creative because he, you know, basically enlisted the help of 1309 01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:42,600 Speaker 1: his two young boys, John and Jackson and you know 1310 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,479 Speaker 1: they're doing jumping Jack's together trying to do Originally, Barkley 1311 01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,080 Speaker 1: and his kids were trying to help the Play sixty 1312 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,640 Speaker 1: initiative and put a video together for you know, the 1313 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:56,560 Speaker 1: Community Relations Department to circulate, and so he did a 1314 01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 1: workout with his two young boys and they're going through 1315 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,840 Speaker 1: the paces there. But you know, in Matt's defense, he 1316 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,560 Speaker 1: also was putting videos on his Instagram of some of 1317 01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 1: his harder core workouts. But we thought that was pretty 1318 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,120 Speaker 1: creative doing that with his two boys, you know, get 1319 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 1: the whole family involved. Yeah, Steve, we're having trouble hearing 1320 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,400 Speaker 1: you right now. That's because my mic was muted. That's 1321 01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,240 Speaker 1: a dollar. Uh yeah, it's those. Yeah, he had those 1322 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,560 Speaker 1: workouts where you know, his sons couldn't keep up with 1323 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,680 Speaker 1: him either. I mean, those were some serious stuff too, 1324 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:29,720 Speaker 1: But obviously there's always been some silver linings and Matt 1325 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:33,439 Speaker 1: Barkley putting out that video with his two boys having 1326 01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 1: some fun um was great. And plus during the midst 1327 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,880 Speaker 1: of the pandemic and the and the offseason and all 1328 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,719 Speaker 1: the cool stuff that was going on and other stuff 1329 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:49,960 Speaker 1: you mentioned, there was also those protests and we talked 1330 01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:51,840 Speaker 1: a lot about it for a couple a bunch of 1331 01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,720 Speaker 1: we and we still talk about it, we don't. We 1332 01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 1: committed the entire show almost on Friday, to the subject 1333 01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:03,280 Speaker 1: of where we were on the Juneteenth Holiday. And it 1334 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:07,280 Speaker 1: was interesting too, as you might imagine, the African American 1335 01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,800 Speaker 1: coaches on the Bill's staff did have something to say 1336 01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:11,400 Speaker 1: about it. I think one of the coolest things it 1337 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 1: was also when your article was all the things that 1338 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,519 Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier did, and the and the message he was 1339 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:16,720 Speaker 1: able to go out in the kind of way he 1340 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 1: presented himself and the situation and the entire atmosphere that 1341 01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 1: we were we found ourselves in. Man, oh man, what 1342 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:28,840 Speaker 1: a great job Leslie did. Yeah, it was. It was 1343 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:32,439 Speaker 1: hard not to be inspired by what he had to 1344 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,320 Speaker 1: say in a conference call that spanned almost an hour 1345 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:41,439 Speaker 1: with the Western New York media. And I just I 1346 01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,280 Speaker 1: sent him an email afterwards. I was so impressed by 1347 01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,639 Speaker 1: the way he encapsulated everything. I sent him an email 1348 01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:53,200 Speaker 1: just complimenting him on that, and you know, even saying, 1349 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:58,479 Speaker 1: you know, you've you've convinced me that you know, as 1350 01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,640 Speaker 1: a person in the community, I gotta I gotta do 1351 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:06,800 Speaker 1: more than just respecting, you know, people who come from 1352 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,360 Speaker 1: different racial and ethnic backgrounds. For me, my respect for 1353 01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:13,439 Speaker 1: them is not enough. I have to do more than 1354 01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: that to kind of help them out. And so, you know, 1355 01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:20,400 Speaker 1: he was kind, he replied to me, you know, on 1356 01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,920 Speaker 1: email as well from what I sent to him. But 1357 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,640 Speaker 1: really the crux of what he had to offer I 1358 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 1: thought was perfect in framing it all in a way 1359 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:39,280 Speaker 1: that was constructive, easily understandable, and then combining that with 1360 01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:43,240 Speaker 1: the genuine hope that he has that it could really 1361 01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 1: be this time around, like a watershed moment in the 1362 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:53,840 Speaker 1: country's history for real kinds of change. That's why I 1363 01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,040 Speaker 1: called it the most inspiring moment of the offseason. He 1364 01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,400 Speaker 1: was he was fantastic, Yeah, he was, and he brought 1365 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:03,640 Speaker 1: it brought to so many things from from his perspective 1366 01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 1: that we're both hopeful and like you said, hopeful and 1367 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,280 Speaker 1: inspiring to live up to it. It was. It was great, 1368 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:13,519 Speaker 1: and I was. It made me really proud of you know, 1369 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,960 Speaker 1: the organization, but also of him and um and you know, 1370 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,479 Speaker 1: it's kind of it's one of those moments where we've 1371 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:22,400 Speaker 1: all been where he's gosh, man, I just hope that 1372 01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,840 Speaker 1: guy just gets everything he ever dreamed of you know, 1373 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I hope his career does of what he 1374 01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,120 Speaker 1: needs to hope if he wants to be a head coach, 1375 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:31,639 Speaker 1: I hope he gets the chance because a lot of people, 1376 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,560 Speaker 1: as many people as possible, need to spend time with 1377 01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: guys like Leslie Fraser. Well, yeah, And I think the 1378 01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:41,000 Speaker 1: most important thing was he was not only able to 1379 01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 1: speak to media members in a way that they could 1380 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:49,080 Speaker 1: grasp the message of what he was talking about, but 1381 01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:53,519 Speaker 1: he also is able to speak to the players, having 1382 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:58,400 Speaker 1: been a former player himself, in telling them, hey, you 1383 01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:06,280 Speaker 1: maybe someone that grew up you know, and understands what 1384 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:10,479 Speaker 1: it's like being black in this country, But as soon 1385 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:13,400 Speaker 1: as you became a star athlete, you were also insulated 1386 01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:20,280 Speaker 1: from some of the prejudices and injustices that the regular 1387 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 1: folks in the black community have to deal with all 1388 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:28,120 Speaker 1: the time. And so Leslie's message to his black players 1389 01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:32,040 Speaker 1: was you've got it better than a lot of the 1390 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,040 Speaker 1: other people in the black community, the regular nine to 1391 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:37,599 Speaker 1: five vers that have to deal with a lot more 1392 01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,960 Speaker 1: than even you do, so use your platform to help 1393 01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 1: them out. And I thought that was that was pretty 1394 01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:47,760 Speaker 1: noteworthy as part of his messaging as well. So Yeah, 1395 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,240 Speaker 1: it was great, and I'm as going forward, I think 1396 01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:52,479 Speaker 1: where you can look forward to hearing more from Leslie 1397 01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:54,599 Speaker 1: because there's no question he'll be called upon a little 1398 01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,040 Speaker 1: more to offer his opinion because they are so poignant. 1399 01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,080 Speaker 1: You also had another item that I thought was really good, 1400 01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,880 Speaker 1: and some stuff I didn't know. I knew Josh Allen 1401 01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:08,519 Speaker 1: and uh, you know day Ball and and the quarterbacks like, uh, 1402 01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:12,160 Speaker 1: you know Davis Webb and all this stuff, Davis Webb, 1403 01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,280 Speaker 1: Matt Barkley, Josh Allen, they kind of quarterbacks kind of 1404 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 1: ramrodded this workout session they had we all heard about. 1405 01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,519 Speaker 1: I didn't realize though, that Josh was like playing travel 1406 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,680 Speaker 1: agent and rental car guy and taking care of all 1407 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:28,760 Speaker 1: these details and not for nothing. I mean, I I mean, 1408 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,519 Speaker 1: I remember what it's like to be a pro athlete 1409 01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:33,680 Speaker 1: and we're just talking about privilege, and it is. I mean, 1410 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,600 Speaker 1: it's a because like, for instance, if the Bills have 1411 01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:40,519 Speaker 1: something for you to do as a pro as a player, 1412 01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:42,920 Speaker 1: the Bills take care of it. I say, listen, we 1413 01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:44,519 Speaker 1: need you to do this, and I say you say, okay, 1414 01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:46,439 Speaker 1: say all right, listen, We're gonna get you the here's 1415 01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:50,240 Speaker 1: your car here's your plane ticket, here's your rental car, 1416 01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:55,719 Speaker 1: here's your da da dad right right here. We're such pigs, 1417 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,960 Speaker 1: right so, and that's the way it is. And that's 1418 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, and that's the way it isn't that were 1419 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,400 Speaker 1: when when you know, when you're taking care of like that. Well, 1420 01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,200 Speaker 1: this time, since Josh was doing this, he's the guy 1421 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 1: that made the flight plans, he's the guy that got 1422 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,599 Speaker 1: the rental cars, he's the guy that set up all 1423 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,320 Speaker 1: the hotel accommodations for everybody, and he took care of 1424 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,400 Speaker 1: all the details for all these other guys that were 1425 01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:19,160 Speaker 1: coming in out. That's that's pretty cool. Yeah. Now, And now, 1426 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,120 Speaker 1: in fairness, Josh did give his agent some credit with 1427 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:26,160 Speaker 1: helping him with it um in terms of arranging everything, 1428 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 1: because I mean, that's a lot of doing for one guy, 1429 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,280 Speaker 1: with trying to get twenty people set up, even with 1430 01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 1: a handful of them already living in South Florida. You know, maybe, 1431 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,280 Speaker 1: but he wanted everybody in the hotel together, so sure, 1432 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,719 Speaker 1: even the guys that were local, well he was putting 1433 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 1: them up there. And not for nothing, brownie. But if 1434 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:46,040 Speaker 1: if I was gonna do something that I would have 1435 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,080 Speaker 1: there's no way I could do it. I you know, 1436 01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 1: my wife could do it. I mean, she's right, I 1437 01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 1: mean i'd be I'd have to have asked for help. 1438 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,080 Speaker 1: I mean, so when he says, yeah, my agent and 1439 01:16:56,280 --> 01:17:00,960 Speaker 1: all that stuff help, that's listen, that's why he's why. Yeah. 1440 01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:02,760 Speaker 1: He had a hand in every part of it, though, 1441 01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,400 Speaker 1: and he was inspired by the conversation he had with 1442 01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:09,960 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning because Peyton was telling Josh and the other 1443 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,799 Speaker 1: quarterbacks about what they did in the two eleven lockout 1444 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:18,439 Speaker 1: when they couldn't even talk to coaches or meet with 1445 01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 1: coaches virtually forget about any so they literally had to 1446 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:27,439 Speaker 1: do everything themselves. And he said, but it made us 1447 01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:31,519 Speaker 1: a better team when we came back in September. So 1448 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,080 Speaker 1: I think that sparked the idea in Josh's head and said, oh, man, 1449 01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:37,640 Speaker 1: I should go do this and run this ourselves. So 1450 01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,800 Speaker 1: that's when he got Barkley and David's webb together and said, hey, 1451 01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,759 Speaker 1: let's try to set this up. So Barkley and Josh 1452 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,599 Speaker 1: were handling a lot of the travel arrangements for guys 1453 01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:50,719 Speaker 1: along with the hotels, and then Davis and Josh worked 1454 01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,960 Speaker 1: together on putting the practice scripts together to run for 1455 01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,519 Speaker 1: the two days of workouts that they had and then 1456 01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,880 Speaker 1: they're no, now they've got to set up dinners out afterwards. 1457 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,640 Speaker 1: You know, I got twenty guys you want in the 1458 01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,600 Speaker 1: same spot for dinner, So you know, where can you 1459 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,599 Speaker 1: eat out on self current atmosphere, you can't find any 1460 01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,800 Speaker 1: place to accommodate you really, right, you really long high 1461 01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 1: and long ahead. He set that up so so that 1462 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,439 Speaker 1: for us at least, was the best example of leadership 1463 01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,000 Speaker 1: this offseason, because that's a lot of doing and a 1464 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,800 Speaker 1: lot to pull together, you know, to make that happen. 1465 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we had Pete Bamrito on the show, which 1466 01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:29,519 Speaker 1: is where they did all those workouts, and they went 1467 01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:35,200 Speaker 1: there because it's secure access. Those those fields are closed 1468 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 1: to the general public, so you know, you're not getting 1469 01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:41,120 Speaker 1: interrupted or distracted or you know, got a bunch of 1470 01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,559 Speaker 1: gawkers watching what you're doing and right, you know, using 1471 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 1: their camera phones and all that other stuff. So yeah, 1472 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,240 Speaker 1: it was It was really a good example of leadership. 1473 01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:52,800 Speaker 1: And I was even poking fun on Twitter at Sam 1474 01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,160 Speaker 1: Darnold after he decided to do it two weeks later, 1475 01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,200 Speaker 1: where they think about it, they were going to do 1476 01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,720 Speaker 1: another one, and it's been blown out of the water 1477 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,479 Speaker 1: Vibe bast league, right, Josh wanted to do another one 1478 01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:08,280 Speaker 1: before training camp. But yeah, the NFLPA actually had that 1479 01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 1: memo yesterday over the weekend saying, please don't do that. 1480 01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:14,400 Speaker 1: We need you guys as healthy as possible going into 1481 01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:18,760 Speaker 1: training camp, so don't run the risk of exposing yourself unnecessarily. Yeah, 1482 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 1: and that brings up that, you know, the topic we 1483 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,080 Speaker 1: can we can get to either now or later in 1484 01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:25,479 Speaker 1: the show about all the college kids who have been 1485 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 1: going to the voluntary workouts, or last week it was 1486 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,360 Speaker 1: Texas over the week and then now it's Clemson's got 1487 01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, almost two dozen guys that are either symptomatic 1488 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 1: or sequestered isolated because of close contact with somebody who 1489 01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,760 Speaker 1: was positive. Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna talk about that 1490 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,160 Speaker 1: more than the two o'clock hour because there's a lot 1491 01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,040 Speaker 1: of layers on that onion, right exactly that Steve and 1492 01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:50,200 Speaker 1: I want to peel back on that and nothing else, 1493 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,320 Speaker 1: not for nothing either, nineteen guys that went to this 1494 01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:57,280 Speaker 1: workout in Florida that Josh got together, and every situation 1495 01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,400 Speaker 1: that we've been through, and like you said, that Peyton 1496 01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,919 Speaker 1: Manning thought back to the two thousand and eleven lockout, 1497 01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,559 Speaker 1: and it was a little different than this and maybe 1498 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:09,800 Speaker 1: in some ways worse because they weren't allowed to talk 1499 01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:12,600 Speaker 1: to coaches. Um back then, I mean it was a 1500 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,360 Speaker 1: it was a it was an ugly argument between the 1501 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,800 Speaker 1: league and its players, and the league told and made 1502 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:22,280 Speaker 1: no bones about it, and so did the PA. Don't 1503 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,559 Speaker 1: talk to each other, don't call them, don't talk to them, 1504 01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 1: don't do anything us as employees of the team, Like 1505 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:34,400 Speaker 1: we're trying to write content for the team website. We 1506 01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:38,960 Speaker 1: can't talk to players either. I can't have any conversation. 1507 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,000 Speaker 1: We only had access to our coaching staff, and thank 1508 01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:45,599 Speaker 1: god they helped us out because that was the long summer. Man, Wow, 1509 01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:50,160 Speaker 1: that was a long summer. So I was like, man, 1510 01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,599 Speaker 1: if I can get through that, you know, and still 1511 01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 1: do your job, you can do almost anything. But this 1512 01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 1: pandemic is testing that a little bit, isn't it. Yeah, 1513 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,000 Speaker 1: it is. It's and it's a different animal too. It's 1514 01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:04,680 Speaker 1: a really different animal. It's more of a if you 1515 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,479 Speaker 1: you would, if you could, but you really it's not 1516 01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,200 Speaker 1: smart too, right, You would get together in practice if 1517 01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,600 Speaker 1: you could, Yeah, but you can't do it. And so 1518 01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, any way you can get a voice conversation 1519 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 1: or a picture conversation or FaceTime or zoom or Skype 1520 01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,920 Speaker 1: or whatever technology you want to use, you can do that. 1521 01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:27,679 Speaker 1: But then you're limited by the fact that you're playing 1522 01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:29,200 Speaker 1: a game that you need to be on a field 1523 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,720 Speaker 1: or four together. And you know, and it's you know, 1524 01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,559 Speaker 1: it has its own Every situation has its own challenges. 1525 01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:37,360 Speaker 1: I guess is as a thing. And Josh and these 1526 01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:41,080 Speaker 1: guys they really made a concerted effort to overcome everything. 1527 01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:45,759 Speaker 1: And it's yeah, find a way. But you know what, Brownie, 1528 01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:48,840 Speaker 1: the sad part of it is, and the and the fear, 1529 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,719 Speaker 1: the scary part of it is. The one that strikes 1530 01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:54,080 Speaker 1: fear into all of us is that they may have 1531 01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,559 Speaker 1: done all this and may do it and it may 1532 01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,360 Speaker 1: never mean anything because the season could be dear railed 1533 01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:04,120 Speaker 1: by so many different things in so many different ways. Yeah, 1534 01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,040 Speaker 1: and that's that's what we none of us know yet 1535 01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:11,000 Speaker 1: and right and talking, yeah, Quead, you look no further 1536 01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,760 Speaker 1: than the state of Florida right now, because the end 1537 01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:17,000 Speaker 1: thousand new cases over there and and where is the 1538 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,360 Speaker 1: NBA trying to restart their league at the end of 1539 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:25,120 Speaker 1: next month. Orlando, like Florida right now is a mess. 1540 01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:29,000 Speaker 1: And so you gotta believe the NBA office is like, 1541 01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,240 Speaker 1: what the heck are we gonna do? We just did 1542 01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:35,080 Speaker 1: all this planning to come back twenty I think it's 1543 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,040 Speaker 1: twenty two of their teams at the end of July, 1544 01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:42,280 Speaker 1: and the numbers are through the roof of new cases 1545 01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 1: in the state of Florida. I mean, it is the 1546 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:49,400 Speaker 1: absolute worst case scenario. And you're six and a half 1547 01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,280 Speaker 1: weeks away, right, You're it's like being allergic to a 1548 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,680 Speaker 1: beasting and then you know, going to visit your beekeeper friend, right, 1549 01:22:55,800 --> 01:23:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's crazy, um it, there's no way 1550 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,360 Speaker 1: around it. They've got they're too far down the road 1551 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 1: to change, right, So now you're just crossing your fingers 1552 01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:11,320 Speaker 1: and toes. I mean whatever, right, what else did you do? Right? 1553 01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:14,000 Speaker 1: And uh and not for we've got this too.

We're 1563 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,280 Speaker 1: coming back right after the break on one on Buffalo 1564 01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 1: Bills Radio presented by Kalid to Health, and this is 1565 01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:51,360 Speaker 1: one Bills livecast go on with Chris Brown here till 1566 01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,439 Speaker 1: three o'clock. We've been talking about an article that Chris 1567 01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 1: wrote on one on Buffalo Bills dot com and it's 1568 01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,599 Speaker 1: seven superlatives for the Buffalo Bills offseason. We got through 1569 01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:03,200 Speaker 1: a couple of them. One was an inspirational moment from 1570 01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:07,240 Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier, who took just what we thought was the 1571 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:09,479 Speaker 1: perfect tone about what was going on in our country 1572 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 1: and how it affected not just you know, NFL players 1573 01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,759 Speaker 1: and himself, but all of us. Was really inspiring. Also, 1574 01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:18,519 Speaker 1: we had best workout from Matt Barkley with his two 1575 01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:22,479 Speaker 1: boys and also some hardcore workouts as well. And then 1576 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:26,520 Speaker 1: also Josh Allen's leadership and putting together the workout offseason 1577 01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:29,719 Speaker 1: with all those twenty guys of being mister travel agent 1578 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:31,720 Speaker 1: or at least making sure all that stuff was taking 1579 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,400 Speaker 1: care of for his teammates. And then also one of 1580 01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 1: the superlatives which all of us I think are kind 1581 01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,240 Speaker 1: of it's on our radar about how positive people are 1582 01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,880 Speaker 1: around the National Football League about the Bills. But the 1583 01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,599 Speaker 1: best national prediction for the Bills came from our friend 1584 01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:50,639 Speaker 1: Adam Shine, a CBS Sports. Yeah, the bandwagons getting heavy, Steve, 1585 01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 1: I know, right, I don't know if there's too many 1586 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 1: seats left, but Shine has been on the on the 1587 01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,759 Speaker 1: Bills for quite some time. So I'll give you an excerpt. 1588 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,160 Speaker 1: I'll try to do it in my best Adam Shine voice. 1589 01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:06,040 Speaker 1: All Right, were ready? The Bills are going to take 1590 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:10,679 Speaker 1: the AFC East and win at least one home playoff game. 1591 01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:13,679 Speaker 1: Don't believe me? Well, a year ago around this time 1592 01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:20,519 Speaker 1: I predicted Buffalo would be the twenty nineteen seasons Cinderella team, 1593 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,479 Speaker 1: and they proceeded to post their best record of this 1594 01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:26,400 Speaker 1: millennium ten and six and hit the postseason. So I 1595 01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,880 Speaker 1: think I've earned some trust in this area. And this 1596 01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:34,960 Speaker 1: Dig's deal has me channeling my inner Joe Namath once again. 1597 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:39,160 Speaker 1: So from there, he pretty much says they're gonna not 1598 01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:42,679 Speaker 1: only win the division, but also win a postseason game. 1599 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,599 Speaker 1: So that's the best prediction I can find out there. 1600 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 1: I know that Michael Robinson, the former Seattle Seahawks fullback 1601 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,800 Speaker 1: who now works for NFL Network's he predicted the Bills 1602 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,960 Speaker 1: are gonna win the division last year, so he's back 1603 01:25:57,040 --> 01:26:00,880 Speaker 1: on that train. And I think he thinks still make 1604 01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:02,599 Speaker 1: a run of the playoffs too, But I don't think 1605 01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:06,040 Speaker 1: he had them necessarily winning more than one playoff game, 1606 01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,599 Speaker 1: So right, yeah, And I think that's the big thing, 1607 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,479 Speaker 1: you know, Brownie, not for another you know, my my 1608 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,439 Speaker 1: prediction was my ultimate kind of a little bit of 1609 01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:18,120 Speaker 1: a fantasy prediction, is that the regular season will take place, 1610 01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:19,479 Speaker 1: We're not gonna be able to have fans in the 1611 01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:21,880 Speaker 1: stands though it's going to be a broadcast only it's 1612 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,599 Speaker 1: gonna be an empty stadium. Whether they pipe fan noise 1613 01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:26,840 Speaker 1: in or not, who knows, but nobody's gonna be able 1614 01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,240 Speaker 1: to get there. And then as the season winds on, 1615 01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,559 Speaker 1: they get into early next twenty twenty one, they're gonna 1616 01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,320 Speaker 1: come out with some vaccine or a protocol that allows 1617 01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,519 Speaker 1: people not to be afraid of the virus, and either 1618 01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 1: a vaccine or some such thing that makes the virus 1619 01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:45,679 Speaker 1: a little you know, takes Yeah, maybe that. So that happens. 1620 01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:49,760 Speaker 1: So then when the play NFL playoffs hit, fans are 1621 01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 1: gonna be fine and they're gonna say, okay, you can 1622 01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,799 Speaker 1: now have them get together as normal because the virus 1623 01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:59,559 Speaker 1: isn't isn't deadly anymore, or the bite's been taken out 1624 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:02,000 Speaker 1: of it. What a reason, whatever scenary you want to conjure, 1625 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:05,920 Speaker 1: that's not really central to my my little fantasy scenario here. 1626 01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:08,840 Speaker 1: But the entire season will be fanless until the bill, 1627 01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,919 Speaker 1: until the playoffs, and the first game of the playoffs 1628 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,920 Speaker 1: will be a home game in New Era of Field, 1629 01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,839 Speaker 1: and the fans will be present for the first playoff 1630 01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:22,080 Speaker 1: game in Buffalo since nineteen that's your crystal ball, that's 1631 01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:27,960 Speaker 1: my crystal ball fantasy. Wish it would happen prediction. I 1632 01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:31,080 Speaker 1: like it. I can. I can get on board with that, brownie. 1633 01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:34,160 Speaker 1: How fun would that week be? Oh my gosh, people 1634 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:41,360 Speaker 1: would be like fighting each other to get tickets. Oh, virtually, 1635 01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:43,880 Speaker 1: because I'm telling you right now, if you have to 1636 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,600 Speaker 1: go down to the ticket office. You remember back in 1637 01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:48,760 Speaker 1: the eighties when people were tackling each other in the 1638 01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:52,679 Speaker 1: stores for cabbage patch dolls. That's what it would look like. Yeah, 1639 01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:55,120 Speaker 1: it would look like that. If if you couldn't get 1640 01:27:55,200 --> 01:28:00,240 Speaker 1: them online or over the phone or well, that's it's 1641 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:03,200 Speaker 1: that would be so awesome. The tailgating would start from 1642 01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:07,040 Speaker 1: the moment it was announced too, by the way, Yeah, 1643 01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 1: they would say, would show up. The lots would start 1644 01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:13,120 Speaker 1: filling up immediately, and people just you know, kick back 1645 01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 1: and say, Okay, I'm in, I'm gonna all be here 1646 01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:18,760 Speaker 1: when it starts in eight days or whoever I got. 1647 01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,880 Speaker 1: I got enough beer to last me for the next 1648 01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,160 Speaker 1: eight days, so I'm good to go. They pull up 1649 01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,679 Speaker 1: in the RV with towing their little you know, smart 1650 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:27,400 Speaker 1: car behind it or whatever. So if they need to 1651 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,840 Speaker 1: go out for groceries, at least they could take the 1652 01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:31,120 Speaker 1: smart car from the RV and keep their parking space 1653 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,439 Speaker 1: in the in the lot. They just they can't you 1654 01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 1: know what happened. It's it'd be nuts. It what it 1655 01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,840 Speaker 1: would be one of the all time great Buffalo sports moments. 1656 01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm still thinking, Steve, knowing how creative Bills fans can be. 1657 01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:46,560 Speaker 1: That if we do get to the regular season and 1658 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:49,720 Speaker 1: there are no fans in the stands. I don't think 1659 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,400 Speaker 1: we should necessarily assume that that means they're not gonna 1660 01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:56,000 Speaker 1: try to tailgate in some way, shape or form. Oh, 1661 01:28:56,080 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm totally with you, you know, properly social distance of course, 1662 01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, keep a parking space or two between you. 1663 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:06,360 Speaker 1: But I could totally see people tailkating and you know, 1664 01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:10,040 Speaker 1: watching the game on their remote TVs in the parking lot. 1665 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:14,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh, absolutely to see that. I could totally see. 1666 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:16,920 Speaker 1: You can see it. I get. I'd do it if 1667 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:18,519 Speaker 1: I had a free weekend, you know. I mean, i'd 1668 01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:21,160 Speaker 1: do it too. And I'm not I'm not trying to 1669 01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:24,479 Speaker 1: give our good friend any major a headache with that idea. Um, 1670 01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, but properly spaced out, maybe you could do it. 1671 01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 1: Who knows. Steve Tasker Chris Brown going over the seven 1672 01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:34,559 Speaker 1: superlatives of the Buffalo Bills off season. Now we're at 1673 01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:37,920 Speaker 1: number five now, which is the biggest virtual snaff food. Now, 1674 01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:42,160 Speaker 1: already on this show, we've been doing this the skype 1675 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,280 Speaker 1: thing so you and I can see each other while 1676 01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:45,760 Speaker 1: we're on the radio, right, so we can take non 1677 01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,160 Speaker 1: verbal cues and all that stuff. And I've already gotten 1678 01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:50,160 Speaker 1: caught with my mute button on once where I was 1679 01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,840 Speaker 1: talking for about five seconds and you and Jay are 1680 01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:56,840 Speaker 1: like waving at me, going you're muted. So I that's 1681 01:29:56,880 --> 01:30:00,400 Speaker 1: a dollar fine for me. But the biggest half food 1682 01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:04,160 Speaker 1: the offseason had to do with Josh Allen and the 1683 01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:06,479 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in those virtual workouts. Yeah, and I'll make 1684 01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:08,080 Speaker 1: this quick because I know we're up against the break. 1685 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:11,800 Speaker 1: But Josh, when he was working with Brian Dable, He's 1686 01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:14,280 Speaker 1: got a phone on with an earpiece in his ear 1687 01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:18,360 Speaker 1: and Coach Dabele gives him the play call through the 1688 01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:21,200 Speaker 1: phone so only he can hear it. Then he's got 1689 01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:24,200 Speaker 1: a drawn on his second technique, his second device which 1690 01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:27,280 Speaker 1: is an iPad which everybody else on the zoom call 1691 01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:29,960 Speaker 1: can see, and then he calls the play on the 1692 01:30:30,080 --> 01:30:33,560 Speaker 1: zoom call for all his teammates to hear. Well, it 1693 01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:36,120 Speaker 1: was just another day where he was doing that. But 1694 01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:40,080 Speaker 1: the problem was he had muted himself on the zoom call, 1695 01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:44,799 Speaker 1: so he was going and going for like twenty minutes, 1696 01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:49,040 Speaker 1: not realizing he was on mute. And at that point 1697 01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:52,720 Speaker 1: in time, Dabele had already switched to Barkley. I think 1698 01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:55,280 Speaker 1: to do the calls because Josh didn't realize he was 1699 01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:59,320 Speaker 1: on mute. Pat DeMarco texts him and says, hey, are 1700 01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:03,000 Speaker 1: you in this eating? Uh, we're not hearing anything you're 1701 01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:06,160 Speaker 1: saying if you're talking. And so that's when Josh realized 1702 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:10,599 Speaker 1: he was on ute and he lost about twenty minutes. So, yeah, 1703 01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:13,800 Speaker 1: I give him credit for admitting the mistake. Yeah, but 1704 01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:16,479 Speaker 1: well we've we've all been there. So all of us 1705 01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:19,160 Speaker 1: have been there, Me, you Ja, Yes, Jay you have too, 1706 01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:21,759 Speaker 1: and so you know, he's kind of kind of plowed 1707 01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 1: through it. But that I'm surprised that's the only story 1708 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:27,760 Speaker 1: like that they have. Maybe it's not on the only 1709 01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:32,280 Speaker 1: students they have. It's definitely not right. Definitely not They're right. 1710 01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:34,519 Speaker 1: So all right, Steve Dash or Chris Brown, we're coming 1711 01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:36,200 Speaker 1: up after the break at the top of the hour. 1712 01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:40,559 Speaker 1: We've got more coming. Um what Bills Defender twenty five 1713 01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:44,759 Speaker 1: or under has the Brightest future? Uh? Call us or textas. 1714 01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:47,560 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio, presented by Kalida Health and 1715 01:31:47,640 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 1: this is one Bill's livest Time. Welcome back to One 1716 01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:15,519 Speaker 1: of Bills Lives team Pastor Chris Brown here for our 1717 01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:17,519 Speaker 1: number three of the show. We are going down to listen. 1718 01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:21,600 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, my partner here, wrote a great article on 1719 01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:24,880 Speaker 1: the on the Buffalo Bills dot Com and seven Superlatives 1720 01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:27,559 Speaker 1: about the Buffalo Bills off season. Some of we uh. 1721 01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:29,960 Speaker 1: It was a lighthearted article in some ways, but also 1722 01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:32,360 Speaker 1: pointed in some ways as well. It covers the gamut 1723 01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:36,920 Speaker 1: of all we've been experiencing here and then this this time, 1724 01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:38,920 Speaker 1: this point in history, I guess let's just call it that. 1725 01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:41,120 Speaker 1: And it started out with adding fun stuff with Matt 1726 01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,320 Speaker 1: Barkley working out with his two boys, which is a blast. 1727 01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:45,120 Speaker 1: And then of course the most inspiring part about the 1728 01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:48,519 Speaker 1: off season was the stuff about Leslie Frazier and about 1729 01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:50,640 Speaker 1: how he the point of view he had and the 1730 01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:53,360 Speaker 1: things he had to say about the social unrest and 1731 01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,680 Speaker 1: the and the protests that we're going on all over 1732 01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,160 Speaker 1: the country and that still are going on around the country. 1733 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:00,360 Speaker 1: If you didn't get a chance go back. Can listen 1734 01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:02,800 Speaker 1: to the podcasts anywhere you can on Buffalo bills dot 1735 01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:04,840 Speaker 1: com or the Buffalo Bills app. If you can catch 1736 01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,439 Speaker 1: anything about Leslie Frazier and the things he had to say, 1737 01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 1: do it. You'll be better for it. Also, best example 1738 01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:13,719 Speaker 1: of leadership this offseason was Josh Allen and his workouts 1739 01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:17,200 Speaker 1: down in Florida. I don't think we've ever had a 1740 01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:19,760 Speaker 1: quarterback take the kind of rains and leadership role or 1741 01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:21,640 Speaker 1: had been in a position to let alone do it 1742 01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,960 Speaker 1: like Josh Allen showed. And of course then we talked 1743 01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,320 Speaker 1: last just before the break about Adam Shine predicting the 1744 01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:32,200 Speaker 1: Bills are gonna win a playoff game, the biggest virtual snaffoo, 1745 01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:35,920 Speaker 1: which Josh Allen carrying on a meeting and then realizing 1746 01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,760 Speaker 1: he was muted for twenty minutes. So all of those 1747 01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:41,000 Speaker 1: stuff going, and it comes down to our last couple 1748 01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:44,240 Speaker 1: and let's finish up this one with Sean McDermot and 1749 01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:46,000 Speaker 1: what he had to say about the offseason, his little 1750 01:33:46,040 --> 01:33:50,240 Speaker 1: mantra Brownie. Yeah. So, as we know by now, anybody 1751 01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:51,760 Speaker 1: has had their ear to the ground on what the 1752 01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:55,040 Speaker 1: Bills have been trying to do this offseason. Coach McDermott's 1753 01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:58,600 Speaker 1: message to his players has been fined away for what 1754 01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:00,920 Speaker 1: has been one of the most unus usual off seasons 1755 01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:04,040 Speaker 1: in NFL history. So we kind of put that under 1756 01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,840 Speaker 1: the best offseason montra because I think a lot of 1757 01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:10,280 Speaker 1: his players have taken it and run with it. Whether 1758 01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:13,760 Speaker 1: it's Josh, as we already mentioned, organizing his player only 1759 01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:16,280 Speaker 1: workouts for all the skilled position players on the offensive 1760 01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:20,799 Speaker 1: side of the ball in South Florida. Two players finding 1761 01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:25,400 Speaker 1: a way to get their workouts in, perhaps even without 1762 01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:30,759 Speaker 1: access to a gym. I know there is a handful 1763 01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:34,840 Speaker 1: of players that ask the gyms that they belong to 1764 01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:39,760 Speaker 1: if they could come and take weights to their own home, 1765 01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,479 Speaker 1: like sanitize the weights from the gym and bring them 1766 01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:45,360 Speaker 1: back to their own house and work out in their 1767 01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:47,840 Speaker 1: garage because they couldn't go to the gyms because they 1768 01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:52,280 Speaker 1: weren't open wherever they happen to live. So, I mean, 1769 01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:55,920 Speaker 1: guys are doing whatever they can to get the work 1770 01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:00,400 Speaker 1: in that they need to, so, you know, find a 1771 01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 1: way has been wholly adopted by this bill's roster, and 1772 01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:09,840 Speaker 1: I think in general Coach McDermott, who was on with 1773 01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:12,040 Speaker 1: the local media on a conference call last week, is 1774 01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:16,439 Speaker 1: is generally pleased with the efforts of his players to 1775 01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:19,120 Speaker 1: get the things accomplished they need to to be prepared 1776 01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:22,000 Speaker 1: once they return for training camp, hopefully in late July. 1777 01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:24,040 Speaker 1: And one of the things about this is that it 1778 01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:26,200 Speaker 1: forced the players to do something usually don't have to do. 1779 01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:29,200 Speaker 1: And that is be creative in going out and find 1780 01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, usually as you show up, you look at 1781 01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:33,760 Speaker 1: your workout for the day, you do your workout and 1782 01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:35,200 Speaker 1: you go home or whatever, you know what I mean. 1783 01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:39,000 Speaker 1: And even if you have a workout, it's structured and 1784 01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:42,320 Speaker 1: everything's there for you, and they you kind of structure 1785 01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:44,120 Speaker 1: your own life nan as an athlete to make it 1786 01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:46,200 Speaker 1: as easy and convenient as you can, because you know, 1787 01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:49,040 Speaker 1: the hard work is what it's all about. Getting to 1788 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,440 Speaker 1: a point where you can make that hard work accessible 1789 01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:54,479 Speaker 1: convenient where you don't have to drive an you know, 1790 01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:57,000 Speaker 1: you don't want to commute an hour to your workout. 1791 01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:58,400 Speaker 1: You know you want to you know you want to 1792 01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:01,080 Speaker 1: mean basically, you know that Trent Murphy, you want to 1793 01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:03,920 Speaker 1: get out of bed and start lifting weights basically. So 1794 01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:06,240 Speaker 1: and that's why it usually is for these guys. They 1795 01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:08,760 Speaker 1: get into a routine where they've got it wired and 1796 01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:11,519 Speaker 1: they're dialed in. Now in this offseason, they had to 1797 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:13,880 Speaker 1: you know, they're like, oh, what are you doing? You know, 1798 01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:15,640 Speaker 1: how are you working out? What am I doing? Do 1799 01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:17,559 Speaker 1: you guys have weights? I mean, what am I night? 1800 01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:19,080 Speaker 1: Where am I gonna go? What are you gonna do? 1801 01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:22,120 Speaker 1: Who are you talking to who you know, it's they 1802 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:24,400 Speaker 1: have to be creative not only in finding a way 1803 01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:26,519 Speaker 1: to find out what they're supposed to do, but also 1804 01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:29,840 Speaker 1: to get it done and find a way the equipment 1805 01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:34,559 Speaker 1: and the all the accoutrements of a gym that nobody 1806 01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:37,760 Speaker 1: has in their house rights very well, how about it. 1807 01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:40,280 Speaker 1: So all that stuff had to take place. And I 1808 01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:43,439 Speaker 1: think they the fact that, you know, the Bills were 1809 01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:45,800 Speaker 1: so on top of it with the way they got 1810 01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,960 Speaker 1: it done. And you listen, not for nothing the Bills, Uh, 1811 01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:51,559 Speaker 1: you know, Eric Siano was the Strength and Conditioning coach 1812 01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,599 Speaker 1: of the year. Last year, the Bills had fewest manned 1813 01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:59,920 Speaker 1: games lost to injury. Um, they were they were taught. 1814 01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:02,519 Speaker 1: They were near the top of the league two years ago. 1815 01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:04,960 Speaker 1: Last year they were the top team in the league. 1816 01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:08,120 Speaker 1: And uh, it's not by chance. They take it very 1817 01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:11,280 Speaker 1: seriously in there and it's uh and it's paid dividends 1818 01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:13,760 Speaker 1: for them as well. The last item on your on 1819 01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:17,760 Speaker 1: your menu, uh of superlatives, and this goes to what 1820 01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:21,200 Speaker 1: we're all going through in the pandemic, A bunch of 1821 01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:23,840 Speaker 1: bills And I'll read the list here. Josh Allen and 1822 01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:27,639 Speaker 1: Matt Barkley read Ferguson, Harrison Phillip, Stephen Haushket, Jerry Hughes, 1823 01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:31,640 Speaker 1: Tyler Croft, Mitch Morse, John and Jonathan Woodard who's not 1824 01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:34,120 Speaker 1: a name that's not quite so familiar to Bills fans, 1825 01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:40,799 Speaker 1: But all these guys were out and supported relief efforts 1826 01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:45,360 Speaker 1: in the area. And it's uh yeah, and that's t yeah, 1827 01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:46,960 Speaker 1: and that's and that's on top of all the other 1828 01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:48,560 Speaker 1: stuff that they're trying to get done for their for 1829 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:51,200 Speaker 1: their own careers and stuff as well. So ya, kudos 1830 01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,599 Speaker 1: to those guys who and there's a ton of them 1831 01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:56,880 Speaker 1: who got involved and tried to help in every way possible. Yeah, 1832 01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:00,840 Speaker 1: I know, Tremaine Edmonds and John Feliciana and Josh Norman 1833 01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:04,679 Speaker 1: were also involved in COVID nineteen relief efforts. So yeah, 1834 01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:07,320 Speaker 1: a lot of guys, you know, just rolled up their 1835 01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:12,280 Speaker 1: sleeves and got involved, you know. And so kudos to 1836 01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:16,320 Speaker 1: them for again taking advantage of the platform they're afforded 1837 01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:19,280 Speaker 1: and using it in a good way, a productive way, 1838 01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:22,760 Speaker 1: a constructive way. So it's not anything that we don't 1839 01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:27,040 Speaker 1: already see over the years that the Bills do as 1840 01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:30,840 Speaker 1: an organization in general. But you got a really good 1841 01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:36,000 Speaker 1: roster of people here that know what the right thing 1842 01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:37,960 Speaker 1: is and then they go and do the right thing 1843 01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:39,960 Speaker 1: on top of it. Yeah, and that, you know, the 1844 01:38:40,040 --> 01:38:43,000 Speaker 1: COVID relief brings us to something. There's no place where 1845 01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:45,639 Speaker 1: what's happened over the last six months or three four 1846 01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:49,600 Speaker 1: months to our country since March or you know, late February, 1847 01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:55,800 Speaker 1: nothing that has happened in our country will intersect so 1848 01:38:57,120 --> 01:39:02,920 Speaker 1: perfectly as it will for professional sports in America. Social 1849 01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:09,000 Speaker 1: justice and the COVID pandemic. I mean, they converge perfectly 1850 01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:13,040 Speaker 1: in pro sports because it's a it's a pro it's 1851 01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:16,760 Speaker 1: a it's an entity in an industry where black and 1852 01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:19,120 Speaker 1: white athletes love and respect each other, and they play 1853 01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:22,840 Speaker 1: together and they become close knit friends, and there's a 1854 01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:25,880 Speaker 1: great deal of conversation that evolves from that on the 1855 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:29,640 Speaker 1: personal level of these guys and the rest of us 1856 01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:33,639 Speaker 1: watch it happen. And then there's also the concerns you've 1857 01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:38,000 Speaker 1: got with COVID being passed back and forth in a 1858 01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,120 Speaker 1: game where these guys bump up against each other and 1859 01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:43,760 Speaker 1: they sweat on each other, and you know, and all 1860 01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:47,519 Speaker 1: that stuff. Um, you just you know, you can't you 1861 01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:52,559 Speaker 1: can't quarantine these guys, I mean, you enough, if one 1862 01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:54,680 Speaker 1: guy gets it, they all seem like there's no way 1863 01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:56,599 Speaker 1: they're not all gonna get it. We've seen it before 1864 01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:58,439 Speaker 1: with the flu. You know, it runs through the locker 1865 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:00,719 Speaker 1: room where one guy get and all of a sudden, 1866 01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:02,640 Speaker 1: fifteen guys are down with some shape of it. And 1867 01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:06,200 Speaker 1: but for the normal common flu, it's not a big deal, 1868 01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, because there's a there's avery. You know, other 1869 01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:10,960 Speaker 1: guys they've got the flu shot, they don't have to 1870 01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,640 Speaker 1: worry about it. And these guys, you know, once they 1871 01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:14,920 Speaker 1: get over the fever and the and the shakes, they're 1872 01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:18,479 Speaker 1: they're okay to go. Not so with this COVID. And 1873 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:22,680 Speaker 1: so because of all of this, these two things, the 1874 01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:27,160 Speaker 1: social injustice and this COVID pandemic are gonna intersect perfectly 1875 01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:30,200 Speaker 1: in the National Football League season. And we've already started 1876 01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:33,360 Speaker 1: to see some problems arise when just college kids are 1877 01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,840 Speaker 1: trying to get together to work out. It's starting to 1878 01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:38,280 Speaker 1: spring up everywhere, Brownie, And I mean, I don't know 1879 01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:42,160 Speaker 1: is does this give us any hope that it's going 1880 01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:46,040 Speaker 1: to come off without a hitch. It certainly gives us concern. 1881 01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:48,120 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about that. You have 1882 01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:51,920 Speaker 1: twenty three Clemson players testing positive for COVID. I know 1883 01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:56,920 Speaker 1: LSU had a little bit of an outbreak thirteen players. Yeah, 1884 01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:00,560 Speaker 1: University of Houston did not screen their players properly on 1885 01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:03,639 Speaker 1: the way back to campus, and they had a handful 1886 01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:06,439 Speaker 1: of cases. So they had to shut down immediately and 1887 01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:12,360 Speaker 1: quarantine them. So University Kansas State University shut down completely. 1888 01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:14,760 Speaker 1: They were they went from one week, they went from 1889 01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:19,120 Speaker 1: zero positive tests to totally shut down in seven days. 1890 01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:24,439 Speaker 1: So that combined with and this is coming from national reports, 1891 01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:29,480 Speaker 1: ten NFL clubs who currently have at least one positive 1892 01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:35,439 Speaker 1: COVID case on their roster. And this is without teams 1893 01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:40,040 Speaker 1: even assembling, right, you know, just some guy on you know, 1894 01:41:40,920 --> 01:41:44,800 Speaker 1: Washington's roster who's working out somewhere in his hometown has 1895 01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:48,519 Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID. There are at least ten NFL 1896 01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,600 Speaker 1: clubs that have that scenario that they're currently dealing with. 1897 01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:56,280 Speaker 1: It prompted the NFL Players Association to come out with 1898 01:41:56,320 --> 01:42:02,000 Speaker 1: a memo yesterday over the weekend where they basically advised 1899 01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:07,160 Speaker 1: against holding any player only workouts for the rest of 1900 01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,800 Speaker 1: the offseason, basically saying, we need you guys to be 1901 01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:14,240 Speaker 1: as healthy as possible going into training camps, So do 1902 01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:20,599 Speaker 1: not unnecessarily expose yourself by partaking in a group practice 1903 01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:25,400 Speaker 1: session with your teammates. And that I believe. There are 1904 01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:29,479 Speaker 1: a bunch of forty nine ers teammates that were working 1905 01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:33,760 Speaker 1: in Nashville, and some of them are out from the 1906 01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:37,240 Speaker 1: West coast, but they were in Nashville working out together 1907 01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:41,160 Speaker 1: and one of them or two of them tested positive, 1908 01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:43,679 Speaker 1: and now the rest of them are grounded. They can't 1909 01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:46,760 Speaker 1: even get on an airplane and fly home because they 1910 01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,080 Speaker 1: were exposed to the guys that tested positives, and now 1911 01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:51,320 Speaker 1: they have to self quarantine. They can't get it on 1912 01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:54,920 Speaker 1: airplane and potentially infect all those people, so they're stuck 1913 01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:59,240 Speaker 1: there for two weeks. So the NFLPA, I think, after 1914 01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:02,720 Speaker 1: seeing all the college reports and then combined with some 1915 01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:05,720 Speaker 1: of these NFL teams finding out about some of their 1916 01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:12,240 Speaker 1: players from points beyond testing positive, the players associations said, 1917 01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:14,559 Speaker 1: we gotta get this out now and tell guys, hey, 1918 01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:18,960 Speaker 1: hunker down here until training camp starts, because we need 1919 01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:22,599 Speaker 1: people as healthy as possible, right, And there's not for nothing, 1920 01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:24,519 Speaker 1: but I mean there's a there's a kind of ripple 1921 01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:28,200 Speaker 1: effect that we may not know the results of until 1922 01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:32,800 Speaker 1: way down the road, I mean the season. I think 1923 01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:36,000 Speaker 1: now the league put out a memo saying, listen, every team, 1924 01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:37,920 Speaker 1: and you heard it in the Sports Update at the 1925 01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:39,439 Speaker 1: top of the hour, every team has to have a 1926 01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:43,720 Speaker 1: plan for what happens when they have an outbreak. Tell 1927 01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:47,160 Speaker 1: us what your plan is, how's it going to work. Certainly, 1928 01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:49,320 Speaker 1: all these teams, the bills included, are going to go 1929 01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:57,120 Speaker 1: to their CDC and and ask what they should do. 1930 01:43:57,439 --> 01:43:59,519 Speaker 1: You know, how many people they're gonna have to quarantine, 1931 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:01,840 Speaker 1: how many people they're gonna have to do tracing and 1932 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,040 Speaker 1: contact information, which is what these colleges are stuck doing. 1933 01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:07,599 Speaker 1: And there's always a chance where all of a sudden, 1934 01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:11,120 Speaker 1: you've got nineteen guys in one or two days that 1935 01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:15,960 Speaker 1: are that have to be quarantined, and you got a 1936 01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:19,560 Speaker 1: game in three days. Yeah, that's a problem. That's a 1937 01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:22,800 Speaker 1: huge problem. Believe it or not. It's it's believe it 1938 01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:24,799 Speaker 1: or not. It's probably less of a problem for college 1939 01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:27,560 Speaker 1: football teams because they have upwards of one hundred and 1940 01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:31,479 Speaker 1: twenty to one hundred and fifty kids for your football team, 1941 01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:35,800 Speaker 1: so granted, probably forty of them are red shirting, right 1942 01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:39,760 Speaker 1: but you have more people to work with. I guess 1943 01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:42,439 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. You get an NFL roster down 1944 01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:45,120 Speaker 1: to fifty three. Yeah, you have a twelve man practice squad. 1945 01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:47,200 Speaker 1: Now there's talking about up in that practice squad to 1946 01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:53,599 Speaker 1: sixteen to try to have more players in house who 1947 01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:55,680 Speaker 1: don't have to fly in for you know, you know 1948 01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:58,360 Speaker 1: how it works, Steve. You have a rash of injuries, 1949 01:44:58,400 --> 01:44:59,760 Speaker 1: you call up a guy or two off your p 1950 01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:03,280 Speaker 1: the squad. You still might be shorthanded somewhere. You got 1951 01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:05,439 Speaker 1: to call guys in for workouts and see if you 1952 01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:08,639 Speaker 1: need to sign somebody off the street. Well, you don't 1953 01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:11,080 Speaker 1: want to do that in the midst of a COVID pandemic. 1954 01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:14,320 Speaker 1: You want guys in house that have been tested regularly, 1955 01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:17,600 Speaker 1: who know your system, that you can just promote accordingly, 1956 01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,360 Speaker 1: don't you think, Brownie? And I've said this before, I 1957 01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:23,519 Speaker 1: don't think there's any limit to how many concessions the 1958 01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:25,800 Speaker 1: league has got to be willing to make to make 1959 01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:29,160 Speaker 1: this season happen. Right, what I would do is say, listen, 1960 01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:32,240 Speaker 1: your roster that your camp rosters you are going to 1961 01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:35,320 Speaker 1: camp with. That's your roster for the season. You get 1962 01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:38,080 Speaker 1: fifty three guys that you can name as your roster. 1963 01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:40,759 Speaker 1: But when you get start losing guys, you can activate 1964 01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:43,679 Speaker 1: guys off that eighty five man roster at any point 1965 01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:47,120 Speaker 1: during the season. Yeah, and that's it. If it's case, 1966 01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:50,240 Speaker 1: if it's a COVID case, it's automatic two weeks suspension, 1967 01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:54,240 Speaker 1: not suspension, but quarantine. And you can bring him back 1968 01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:57,439 Speaker 1: when he's done. But you can only have him done 1969 01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:01,120 Speaker 1: for maybe one one COVID case a year. Right, So 1970 01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:03,639 Speaker 1: if he's got a if you want it, if he's 1971 01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:06,200 Speaker 1: got a little twisted ankle or whatever, and you want 1972 01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:08,479 Speaker 1: to bring him back in two weeks, you don't want 1973 01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:10,840 Speaker 1: to say, hey, he's got COVID. Not have it be real, right, 1974 01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:14,479 Speaker 1: So that kind of thing. But that's what I would do. 1975 01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:16,679 Speaker 1: I'd say, listen, you're going to the season. All these guys, 1976 01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:18,960 Speaker 1: all those guys that are not in the fifty three 1977 01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:24,840 Speaker 1: are getting you know, practice squad money, you know, so 1978 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:27,920 Speaker 1: you gotta I mean, that's the payroll would be untenable 1979 01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:30,960 Speaker 1: almost for a minute, right, but that's what you do. 1980 01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:33,960 Speaker 1: You'd have these guys on a retainer and say, listen, 1981 01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:36,720 Speaker 1: if you're on the fifty three, you get paid and 1982 01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:39,120 Speaker 1: week to week we don't know whether we're gonna lose 1983 01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:42,439 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys or not. Yeah, I wonder how 1984 01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:46,080 Speaker 1: the ownership handles that, Like, what is the tipping point 1985 01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:50,960 Speaker 1: there of diminishing returns? You're already losing gate revenue, which 1986 01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:52,960 Speaker 1: I think we said on the air a couple of 1987 01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,479 Speaker 1: weeks ago was estimated at three and a half billion 1988 01:46:55,560 --> 01:46:59,719 Speaker 1: dollars league wide if there are no Yeah, it's fifteen 1989 01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:02,800 Speaker 1: scent of the total. Thing, which is it's like three 1990 01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:06,720 Speaker 1: hundred and it's like one hundred million bucks a club, right, so, 1991 01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:12,040 Speaker 1: which is thirty two hundred million dollars. So what's the 1992 01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:16,200 Speaker 1: tipping point between fortifying your roster or insulating your roster 1993 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:20,080 Speaker 1: where you can sustain maybe three or four losses because 1994 01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:24,160 Speaker 1: you have people test positive and what's so many players 1995 01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:27,400 Speaker 1: that you're paying so many of them that it's just 1996 01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:30,280 Speaker 1: putting you more in the red, maybe not in the red, 1997 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:34,680 Speaker 1: but less in the black, if you will. So I 1998 01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:37,719 Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that. That's above my pay grade, 1999 01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:40,040 Speaker 1: but you have to believe that's in. That's part of 2000 01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:43,800 Speaker 1: the conversation. And here's here's the other thing too, Steve. 2001 01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:49,560 Speaker 1: You know, at this outbreak of around these college campuses 2002 01:47:49,640 --> 01:47:54,679 Speaker 1: with these football teams. I think it's prompting some NFL 2003 01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:57,160 Speaker 1: owners because Albert Breer reported this in his Monday Morning 2004 01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:03,040 Speaker 1: Quarterback column. There is at least a small, small minority 2005 01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:06,880 Speaker 1: of NFL owners who are thinking it is best to 2006 01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:11,880 Speaker 1: push back the start of the regular season. R There 2007 01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:17,080 Speaker 1: reasoning for that is, let's take as much time as 2008 01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:21,560 Speaker 1: we can to see how the other professional leagues a 2009 01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:26,960 Speaker 1: handle it and be deal with some of the pitfalls 2010 01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:31,479 Speaker 1: that are bound to take place. Not only that, if 2011 01:48:31,520 --> 01:48:34,880 Speaker 1: you push it back, you've got time to even evaluate 2012 01:48:35,240 --> 01:48:39,760 Speaker 1: how the college football season unfolds and the potential pitfalls 2013 01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:42,800 Speaker 1: there in a sport that is just like yours, and 2014 01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:46,840 Speaker 1: and how you navigate that. So, yeah, there's only one 2015 01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:49,280 Speaker 1: problem I can see with that brownie, and that is this, 2016 01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:54,120 Speaker 1: the NBA may not get it hit the floor. They're 2017 01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:56,120 Speaker 1: still they're still wondering if they're gonna be able to 2018 01:48:56,160 --> 01:48:59,800 Speaker 1: go to Florida and see Florida, Florida's got a spike. 2019 01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:03,840 Speaker 1: The Major League Baseball we don't. We're not gonna get 2020 01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:05,280 Speaker 1: a look at that. Those guys can't get out of 2021 01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:07,640 Speaker 1: their own way. Yeah, that's the whole different reason, right, 2022 01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:10,000 Speaker 1: and yeah, for a different reason, but it's the same 2023 01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:13,360 Speaker 1: same result in NHL that might give us an idea 2024 01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:17,639 Speaker 1: if you know, they've still got two they gotta they're 2025 01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:19,840 Speaker 1: not even closed. They're gonna be mid July before they 2026 01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:21,920 Speaker 1: even get get there, and which is about when the 2027 01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:25,000 Speaker 1: NFL needs to start if they're gonna start on time, um, 2028 01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,320 Speaker 1: and so they're not gonna have a chance. All these 2029 01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:29,720 Speaker 1: other sports are getting pushed back further and further and further, 2030 01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:32,960 Speaker 1: and college football, like we just has been talking about, 2031 01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:37,400 Speaker 1: think about it, brownie, you're talking about two thousand people 2032 01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:43,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL who play in college football. You're talking 2033 01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:47,240 Speaker 1: like seventy five thousand people, yeah, who were three hundred 2034 01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:52,800 Speaker 1: something Division one colleges alone. Right, It's it's thousands upon 2035 01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:56,599 Speaker 1: thousands of guys that are playing that sport and they're 2036 01:49:57,640 --> 01:50:00,840 Speaker 1: and you get, you know, think about the dynamic working 2037 01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:03,320 Speaker 1: at the at both ends of the spectrum, and that 2038 01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:06,759 Speaker 1: where you've got major colleges with some with a little 2039 01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:09,160 Speaker 1: bit of a budget to take care of this, and 2040 01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:12,320 Speaker 1: you've got some of them that are there's no way 2041 01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:14,240 Speaker 1: they can feel a football team doing what they have 2042 01:50:14,320 --> 01:50:16,160 Speaker 1: to do. They don't have the money for it right. 2043 01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:19,640 Speaker 1: So it's so the league is not going to be 2044 01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:21,400 Speaker 1: able to sit back and say, well, we'll just see 2045 01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:23,600 Speaker 1: how it goes and then we'll just take best practices, 2046 01:50:24,200 --> 01:50:26,439 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to They're gonna have sooner or later. 2047 01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:28,120 Speaker 1: The league is gonna have to hold its nose and 2048 01:50:28,240 --> 01:50:30,960 Speaker 1: jump in. Well. Yeah, and not only that, Steve, if 2049 01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,160 Speaker 1: you delay the start of your season, now, you're running 2050 01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:37,360 Speaker 1: the risk of being stuck right in the middle of 2051 01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:41,800 Speaker 1: that second wave that's supposed to be coming in wintertime. 2052 01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:45,040 Speaker 1: You know, after Thanksgiving or whatever. If you don't start 2053 01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:49,000 Speaker 1: till October, you're gonna still have nine weeks of a 2054 01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:52,800 Speaker 1: regular season left to play, maybe ten by the time 2055 01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:55,400 Speaker 1: you get to Thanksgiving when this supposed second wave is 2056 01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:58,320 Speaker 1: supposed to hit. I know that they have flexibility with 2057 01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:01,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I guess they have the three weeks 2058 01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:03,920 Speaker 1: after when the Super Bowl is supposed to be played 2059 01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:07,000 Speaker 1: in Tampa already reserved in the event that they have 2060 01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:10,439 Speaker 1: to push the schedule back in some way, shape or form. 2061 01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:13,760 Speaker 1: We know that they would exercise the bye week and 2062 01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:15,760 Speaker 1: use that as a week if a week prior to 2063 01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:20,639 Speaker 1: that gets mixed and they would cancel the Pro Bowl 2064 01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:24,840 Speaker 1: if they had to to buy another week there if necessary, 2065 01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:28,800 Speaker 1: so they have contingencies in place. I don't know if 2066 01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:31,599 Speaker 1: you want to wipe out September just for the sake 2067 01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:33,880 Speaker 1: of going to school on what the other leagues are doing, 2068 01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:38,439 Speaker 1: because you're costing yourself a potential four weeks where things 2069 01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:42,800 Speaker 1: aren't nutting. You know, I'm thinking again about the second 2070 01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:46,600 Speaker 1: wave stuff, so right, exactly so, and that's you know, 2071 01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:49,280 Speaker 1: that's in the few and nobody. I mean, how are 2072 01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:53,200 Speaker 1: you going to even anticipate what it's going to look like? 2073 01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:56,800 Speaker 1: You know, there's no way to know. Yeah, there's no 2074 01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:58,920 Speaker 1: way to know. And here's the thing you got to 2075 01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:01,719 Speaker 1: you gotta think out. Okay, now, if this all doesn't work, 2076 01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:05,479 Speaker 1: if this all, if this all goes down the tubes, 2077 01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:10,160 Speaker 1: what's our best case scenario then? And that's when it 2078 01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:14,559 Speaker 1: starts to get pretty serious about, you know, shutting down 2079 01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:18,439 Speaker 1: the season, skipping the whole thing, just starting from scratch 2080 01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:22,719 Speaker 1: in April of next year with a new draft, missed 2081 01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:27,200 Speaker 1: a whole year of the television rights go away everything, 2082 01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:30,120 Speaker 1: And that's then it's gonna feel be a pinch that 2083 01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:32,400 Speaker 1: maybe the league takes a couple of years to recover 2084 01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:34,840 Speaker 1: from well, you know, you see all of this that's 2085 01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:38,200 Speaker 1: happening across college football right now, and the words that 2086 01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:40,759 Speaker 1: are ringing in my ears. Other words from John Harbaugh, 2087 01:52:41,040 --> 01:52:46,080 Speaker 1: who a week earlier said these protocols are humanly impossible. Right. 2088 01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't want him to be right, But the more 2089 01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:54,000 Speaker 1: you see this around college football, the more you wonder 2090 01:52:55,240 --> 01:52:58,959 Speaker 1: he might. He might be right, at least in some ways. Exactly, 2091 01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:02,560 Speaker 1: you're trying to control roll the human behavior of thousands 2092 01:53:02,640 --> 01:53:06,160 Speaker 1: of people, tens of thousands of people, and to get 2093 01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:11,559 Speaker 1: them all to behave uniformly might be humanly impossible. Steve Taster, 2094 01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:15,240 Speaker 1: Chris Brown here till three o'clock. What Bills defensive player 2095 01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:18,479 Speaker 1: twenty five or younger has the brightest future? And why 2096 01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:20,640 Speaker 1: is it? Tredevius White fifty three percent of you think 2097 01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:22,880 Speaker 1: that's who it is, Tremaine Edmonds forty percent of you 2098 01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:25,800 Speaker 1: think that's who it is, and then Ed Oliver brings 2099 01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:28,120 Speaker 1: up is the final choice that we gave you, which 2100 01:53:28,160 --> 01:53:30,240 Speaker 1: is four point one percent of you think it's gonna 2101 01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:32,360 Speaker 1: be ed and one percent of you have only probably 2102 01:53:32,640 --> 01:53:35,200 Speaker 1: three people think it's gonna be one. Somebody other than 2103 01:53:35,240 --> 01:53:37,040 Speaker 1: those three people, you can give us a call and 2104 01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:39,519 Speaker 1: tell us why you think that, or tweet at us 2105 01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:41,920 Speaker 1: at one Bills Live eight o three five fifties the 2106 01:53:41,960 --> 01:53:44,000 Speaker 1: phone number, or one eight to eighty five fifty two 2107 01:53:44,080 --> 01:53:46,960 Speaker 1: five fifty if you're outside the Buffalo area. Steve Tasker, 2108 01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:50,080 Speaker 1: Chris Brown coming back on Buffalo Bills Radio percented by 2109 01:53:50,120 --> 01:54:00,439 Speaker 1: Kalid to Health and this is One Bills Live. Welcome 2110 01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:02,639 Speaker 1: back to one those Lives. Jeeves task or Chris Brown 2111 01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:04,880 Speaker 1: here with you. We have been talking to early in 2112 01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:07,439 Speaker 1: the show, we had Brian Davile on Bill's offensive coordinator. 2113 01:54:07,439 --> 01:54:09,160 Speaker 1: You can go back and listen to that podcast on 2114 01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:12,519 Speaker 1: Buffalo bills dot com or on the Bills app. We 2115 01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:14,880 Speaker 1: also been talking about an article that Brownie wrote on 2116 01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:20,160 Speaker 1: the Bill's website about seven superlatives things that happened to 2117 01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:22,519 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills this offseason that we're pretty cool, and 2118 01:54:22,600 --> 01:54:25,879 Speaker 1: it's not all about Stefan Gilmore, I mean Stefan Gilmore, 2119 01:54:26,040 --> 01:54:30,200 Speaker 1: Steph Diggs or any of the right any of that stuff. 2120 01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:31,720 Speaker 1: A lot of it has to do with what was 2121 01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:35,640 Speaker 1: going on off the field and with the pandemic and 2122 01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:37,560 Speaker 1: how these guys adapted to it and some of the 2123 01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:41,440 Speaker 1: things that happened there. So we also have this Twitter 2124 01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:45,160 Speaker 1: poll that's going on that's been getting a ton of responses. 2125 01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:47,000 Speaker 1: We haven't had time to get too much of them. 2126 01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:51,240 Speaker 1: Which Buffalo Bills defender twenty five or younger has the 2127 01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:55,520 Speaker 1: brightest future? And we gave you three choices. One was 2128 01:54:56,400 --> 01:55:00,440 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, which is the getting the bulk of the 2129 01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:04,680 Speaker 1: fifty three percent of the vote is Tredavious White. Tremaine 2130 01:55:04,760 --> 01:55:08,000 Speaker 1: Edmonds is getting forty one percent and Ed Oliver's getting 2131 01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:11,000 Speaker 1: four percent. Yeah, Tredavious White's getting most of it, although 2132 01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:14,000 Speaker 1: some people think he's already there. Brownie, you've got We've 2133 01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:15,880 Speaker 1: got a tweet sheet which is brought to us by 2134 01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:21,120 Speaker 1: Corgan Moving Systems, the official movings system of the Buffalo Bills. Brownie, 2135 01:55:21,200 --> 01:55:23,320 Speaker 1: go with the tweet sheets. See what somebody else says? Yeah, 2136 01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:26,560 Speaker 1: so Kyle says, going with Tremaine Edmonds here. While Trey 2137 01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:28,840 Speaker 1: is the best player currently on the whole roster and 2138 01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:31,240 Speaker 1: ed as the potential to become a top ten defensive 2139 01:55:31,280 --> 01:55:34,600 Speaker 1: tackle in the league, Tremaine has the most potential, being 2140 01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:37,920 Speaker 1: a pro bowler already at age twenty two. His body 2141 01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:41,680 Speaker 1: type and play style help his cause, which is kind 2142 01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:44,000 Speaker 1: of the conversation you and I were having about Tremaine 2143 01:55:44,120 --> 01:55:48,200 Speaker 1: last hour, Steve, like, he's just so physically rare. I mean, 2144 01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:54,520 Speaker 1: he is a physical anomaly. So that combined with his 2145 01:55:55,200 --> 01:55:59,160 Speaker 1: natural work ethic, you know, desire to be great, and 2146 01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:01,600 Speaker 1: the fact that yeah he's twenty two, he's been to 2147 01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:05,800 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl, the ceiling is just still so high 2148 01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:10,000 Speaker 1: for him that I think he's a good choice for 2149 01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:13,640 Speaker 1: this poll. So I agree with Kyle right, he's and 2150 01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:16,960 Speaker 1: Tremaine's got such an upside physically, but there's you know 2151 01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:20,040 Speaker 1: when you talk about who's went, Tremaine edd or Tredavious 2152 01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:23,400 Speaker 1: White's winning this poll and most of it, Like Ronnie 2153 01:56:23,480 --> 01:56:26,400 Speaker 1: says on the next tweet sheet, he says, the cornerback 2154 01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:29,680 Speaker 1: position is one of the toughest positions. And historically there 2155 01:56:29,720 --> 01:56:32,080 Speaker 1: are maybe three corners that come to mind. Is the 2156 01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:35,640 Speaker 1: best ever Prime Time which is Dion Sanders, Rivus, Darrell 2157 01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:39,120 Speaker 1: Revus and night Train. This is Dick night Train lane A. 2158 01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:43,280 Speaker 1: White is already in the top cornerback disscussion today. How 2159 01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:45,800 Speaker 1: bright is that star? If people put him in the 2160 01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:49,200 Speaker 1: best ever discussion, He's got a chance. But you're right, 2161 01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:51,960 Speaker 1: and like I said, earlier in the show, Brownie. A 2162 01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:54,200 Speaker 1: lot of this comes down to the brightest future also 2163 01:56:54,320 --> 01:56:58,160 Speaker 1: means the longest future as a player at the top level. Certainly, 2164 01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, tredey Is can make the claim he's the 2165 01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:04,280 Speaker 1: top of the game right now. How long can he 2166 01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:06,880 Speaker 1: stay there? Though? That's a big question about a bright future? Yeah, 2167 01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you you played long enough to 2168 01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:12,320 Speaker 1: see it, and we've both been around a league long 2169 01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:16,120 Speaker 1: enough to see that anybody can put together a monster season, 2170 01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:21,120 Speaker 1: you know, right, but to do it year over year 2171 01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:25,000 Speaker 1: over year over year, you know, maybe not necessarily lead 2172 01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:27,760 Speaker 1: the league in certain statistical categories at your position, but 2173 01:57:27,880 --> 01:57:31,880 Speaker 1: be right there, you know, top eight, top six players 2174 01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:36,880 Speaker 1: at your position year in and year out. That takes 2175 01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:40,360 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of effort, a lot of skill, 2176 01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:45,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of dedication. So Trdavious White is making 2177 01:57:45,880 --> 01:57:48,400 Speaker 1: his case that he can be that. I don't think 2178 01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:51,800 Speaker 1: there's any question. And if you if you want to 2179 01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:55,960 Speaker 1: say consistency or length of time that you've proven it, 2180 01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:59,120 Speaker 1: then yes, you would unequivocally vote for Trudavious in this poll. 2181 01:58:00,240 --> 01:58:03,840 Speaker 1: We're talking about brightest future here, and I think there 2182 01:58:03,960 --> 01:58:06,720 Speaker 1: is an awful lot of runway sitting in front of 2183 01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:09,560 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds right now, even though he has already made 2184 01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:12,000 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl right now, and I think for Tremaine 2185 01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:18,520 Speaker 1: and in defense of Tredavius, Tredavious is a marquee position. 2186 01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:20,840 Speaker 1: Middle linebacker is one of those positions for me that 2187 01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:22,640 Speaker 1: gets a little bit lost in the laundry, you know, 2188 01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:26,440 Speaker 1: gets lost in the wash corner. You see those guys, 2189 01:58:26,560 --> 01:58:29,400 Speaker 1: you notice them, and when they play well, they get 2190 01:58:29,440 --> 01:58:32,960 Speaker 1: a ton of credit. A middle linebacker has to be 2191 01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:39,960 Speaker 1: unbelievable to get noticed. Like think of Luke Keikley. That's 2192 01:58:39,960 --> 01:58:41,600 Speaker 1: a guy that I watched on film and he was 2193 01:58:42,080 --> 01:58:45,320 Speaker 1: almost clairvoyant in the way he played the game and 2194 01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:47,520 Speaker 1: was ahead of what the offense was doing. And yet 2195 01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, he's a good player, he's a star player, 2196 01:58:49,720 --> 01:58:52,280 Speaker 1: maybe the best middle linebacker in the game, but he 2197 01:58:52,480 --> 01:58:56,080 Speaker 1: never reached the altitude that a guy just off the 2198 01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:58,800 Speaker 1: top of your head, like Durell Reevas. He never reached 2199 01:58:58,840 --> 01:59:03,640 Speaker 1: out like Primetime. He never reached those those statuses. Mike Singletary, 2200 01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:09,480 Speaker 1: uh Ray Lewis Um, you know, Luke Keekley, those kind 2201 01:59:09,560 --> 01:59:15,120 Speaker 1: of guys, while they are great players, their star doesn't 2202 01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:17,040 Speaker 1: seem to shine as bright as a guy who does 2203 01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:20,800 Speaker 1: it on a more what you call maybe an individual level, 2204 01:59:21,080 --> 01:59:24,240 Speaker 1: you know, like Rivas Island, those kind of things. Um, 2205 01:59:24,640 --> 01:59:27,920 Speaker 1: I think corners are set up to have bright futures 2206 01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:31,400 Speaker 1: when they play well, yeah, I could see that. It's 2207 01:59:31,560 --> 01:59:35,280 Speaker 1: I mean, degree of difficulty. Yeah, corner is right up there. 2208 01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:36,880 Speaker 1: I mean you play the whole game in reverse, for 2209 01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:41,400 Speaker 1: God's sake, right, so right off the bat, it's hard, 2210 01:59:41,800 --> 01:59:45,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I know it's really backwards. Uh, 2211 01:59:45,800 --> 01:59:50,000 Speaker 1: degree of difficulty goes up considerably. Steve Taser, Steve Tasker, 2212 01:59:50,120 --> 01:59:51,760 Speaker 1: Chris brown here on One Days Live. You can call 2213 01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:53,400 Speaker 1: us if you have a different opinion about any of 2214 01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:57,480 Speaker 1: this stuff.

The lack 2221 02:00:18,440 --> 02:00:20,800 Speaker 1: of access to NFL prospects are going to have a 2222 02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:25,480 Speaker 1: huge impact on the twenty twenty one NFL Draft, lack 2223 02:00:25,560 --> 02:00:30,800 Speaker 1: of access, lack of a season, lack of games, well, 2224 02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:34,560 Speaker 1: and lack of travel.

But he brings 2228 02:00:45,400 --> 02:00:48,720 Speaker 1: up some valid points here, Steve, forget about whether their 2229 02:00:48,800 --> 02:00:52,480 Speaker 1: games or not. Just crawl into the schedule of what 2230 02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:56,760 Speaker 1: an NFL scout has to do. It's planes, trains, and automobiles. 2231 02:00:58,040 --> 02:01:01,840 Speaker 1: If you've got problems in certain stays, you might not 2232 02:01:01,960 --> 02:01:06,480 Speaker 1: be able to fly in, fly out, get to your destinations. 2233 02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:09,240 Speaker 1: College campuses may say, whoa, whoa, where are you flying 2234 02:01:09,320 --> 02:01:13,120 Speaker 1: in from? You're not coming on our campus. Can you imagine? 2235 02:01:13,640 --> 02:01:15,920 Speaker 1: Think about it if you've got a football team that 2236 02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:17,920 Speaker 1: you're trying to stay healthy, and you would you know, 2237 02:01:18,120 --> 02:01:21,160 Speaker 1: forget about the NFL. Hey, this kid might get you in, 2238 02:01:21,320 --> 02:01:23,960 Speaker 1: might derail your whole season. You're not You're not standing 2239 02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:26,640 Speaker 1: on the sidelines to practice, talking to a position coach 2240 02:01:27,440 --> 02:01:31,400 Speaker 1: to ask him about you know, his prized linebacker. Hey, 2241 02:01:31,520 --> 02:01:33,720 Speaker 1: you know this kid work in the weight room every day. 2242 02:01:33,800 --> 02:01:36,080 Speaker 1: Does he enjoy it? You know, you're not having those 2243 02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:40,240 Speaker 1: conversations exactly amidst what we're dealing with. So now think 2244 02:01:40,240 --> 02:01:45,280 Speaker 1: about all of the ways that scouts get intel on 2245 02:01:45,560 --> 02:01:48,640 Speaker 1: players through the course of the fall. You know, people 2246 02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:52,400 Speaker 1: think that this past year's draft was impacted. The only 2247 02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:55,880 Speaker 1: thing that was dramatically impacted was how the draft was 2248 02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:01,200 Speaker 1: conducted and where it was staged online. All the information 2249 02:02:01,600 --> 02:02:04,840 Speaker 1: that goes into making the picks had already been in 2250 02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:07,720 Speaker 1: the hay, was in the barn already right for the 2251 02:02:07,800 --> 02:02:09,800 Speaker 1: most part. The only thing they really missed out on 2252 02:02:10,040 --> 02:02:13,640 Speaker 1: was pro Days, which in essence is crossing teas and 2253 02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:18,080 Speaker 1: dot n eyes for the scouting community. And that's that way. 2254 02:02:18,480 --> 02:02:22,320 Speaker 1: You didn't you interrupt their procedures in the fall. You 2255 02:02:22,480 --> 02:02:25,000 Speaker 1: better darnwell believe it's going to have a huge impact 2256 02:02:25,040 --> 02:02:27,000 Speaker 1: on the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. So I am 2257 02:02:27,040 --> 02:02:29,880 Speaker 1: saying true with a capital T. That is yeah, that's true, 2258 02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:32,520 Speaker 1: all caps. You know, it's there's no question about it. 2259 02:02:32,600 --> 02:02:34,720 Speaker 1: It's gonna be highly effect That's one of the ripples, 2260 02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:37,600 Speaker 1: ripple effects of what this COVID is going to do 2261 02:02:37,720 --> 02:02:40,240 Speaker 1: down the line that we aren't we can't anticipate. We 2262 02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:43,600 Speaker 1: may never know the full ramifications of it because it's 2263 02:02:43,640 --> 02:02:47,320 Speaker 1: it's almost like an alternate future because of the ripple 2264 02:02:47,360 --> 02:02:49,920 Speaker 1: effects of not knowing what you need to know to 2265 02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:52,760 Speaker 1: make the right decision and therefore making maybe a wrong 2266 02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:55,600 Speaker 1: decision because of it. So I think you're right. That's true. 2267 02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:58,040 Speaker 1: That's true. There is going to be a huge, huge 2268 02:02:58,080 --> 02:02:59,920 Speaker 1: impact on the twenty twenty one draft because of a 2269 02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:03,760 Speaker 1: lack of access to college athletes. NFL true falls number two. 2270 02:03:04,320 --> 02:03:07,440 Speaker 1: NFC South is the best quarterback division in the National 2271 02:03:07,480 --> 02:03:12,000 Speaker 1: Football League. True falls. That's a tough one in the conversation, right, 2272 02:03:12,480 --> 02:03:14,840 Speaker 1: It's definitely in the conversation because you have Breeze and 2273 02:03:14,920 --> 02:03:17,080 Speaker 1: Brady right there, and what you got Matt Ryan, who's 2274 02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:19,680 Speaker 1: a former MVP time. So I mean, those two guys 2275 02:03:19,720 --> 02:03:22,160 Speaker 1: have been the standard bearers for more than a decade, 2276 02:03:23,080 --> 02:03:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, at the quarterback position. As you mentioned, you're 2277 02:03:25,600 --> 02:03:29,360 Speaker 1: still you also have Matt Ryan. You know, Teddy Bridgewater 2278 02:03:29,560 --> 02:03:32,880 Speaker 1: is more of a comeback story, I guess for lack 2279 02:03:32,920 --> 02:03:35,560 Speaker 1: of a better term. Yeah, but he also won five games. 2280 02:03:35,600 --> 02:03:38,400 Speaker 1: He also won five games for the Saints last year, 2281 02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:40,720 Speaker 1: so you could argue that, you know, the jury is 2282 02:03:40,760 --> 02:03:43,320 Speaker 1: still out somewhat on him. So you can make a 2283 02:03:43,400 --> 02:03:46,440 Speaker 1: case for all almost all four of those quarterbacks. Yes, 2284 02:03:46,840 --> 02:03:49,720 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater's a question mark maybe, but still yeah, except 2285 02:03:49,720 --> 02:03:52,360 Speaker 1: it's a pretty good player. Yes, because you know, you 2286 02:03:52,480 --> 02:03:54,680 Speaker 1: try to think of other divisions. You're like, okay, well 2287 02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:57,640 Speaker 1: what about the AFC South. You got Philip Rivers. Now 2288 02:03:58,120 --> 02:04:01,680 Speaker 1: you got to Shawn Watson. Um, but then you have Gardner, 2289 02:04:01,720 --> 02:04:05,080 Speaker 1: Minshew and Jackson and that kind of that kind of sours. 2290 02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:08,480 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill thinks a little bit and tanne it's good. 2291 02:04:08,480 --> 02:04:11,280 Speaker 1: You're in a Buffalo with me and you in Buffalo 2292 02:04:11,800 --> 02:04:14,800 Speaker 1: having watched Ryan Tannehill in Miami for seven years, right, 2293 02:04:15,080 --> 02:04:18,400 Speaker 1: he is not buying that. Yeah, I'm not buying it. Yeah. Um, 2294 02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:21,600 Speaker 1: then you go to that go to the NFC West, right, 2295 02:04:21,720 --> 02:04:24,600 Speaker 1: So it's good because you have Russell Wilson. I think 2296 02:04:24,640 --> 02:04:30,360 Speaker 1: a lot of Kyler Murray um Garoppolo is is the 2297 02:04:30,760 --> 02:04:34,720 Speaker 1: is the if? Then guy like because this then yeah maybe. 2298 02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:39,360 Speaker 1: But you know, in Jared Goff and Goff, I think 2299 02:04:39,440 --> 02:04:45,560 Speaker 1: golf is I think Goff gets a lot of negative feedback, 2300 02:04:45,680 --> 02:04:48,760 Speaker 1: and some of it I think is a little unjustified 2301 02:04:49,160 --> 02:04:51,200 Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people believe the only 2302 02:04:51,240 --> 02:04:54,400 Speaker 1: reason that offense is successful is because of McVeigh, right, 2303 02:04:54,640 --> 02:04:57,600 Speaker 1: And I think he unfairly bears the brunt of the 2304 02:04:57,760 --> 02:05:01,160 Speaker 1: failures of that team when it happened, And I think 2305 02:05:01,200 --> 02:05:04,520 Speaker 1: he's a better quarterback than he's given credit for. But 2306 02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:09,480 Speaker 1: I still think the NFC South is superior. Um. The 2307 02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:12,800 Speaker 1: AFC East is just too young at the quarterback position 2308 02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:17,320 Speaker 1: to be in the conversation. Uh, the AFC North has 2309 02:05:17,400 --> 02:05:21,160 Speaker 1: had some turn over there, But you know, Lamar Jackson, 2310 02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:27,080 Speaker 1: you're waiting on Burrow and waiting on Baker two, waiting 2311 02:05:27,120 --> 02:05:30,000 Speaker 1: on Baker Mayfield two. So I would say probably true. 2312 02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:32,360 Speaker 1: It's probably What about the What about the AFC West, 2313 02:05:32,400 --> 02:05:42,400 Speaker 1: I mean with Mahomes, Drew Locke, Derek Carr, Tyrod, Probably not? Yeah, right, 2314 02:05:42,920 --> 02:05:45,080 Speaker 1: So I think, yeah, I think it might be true. 2315 02:05:45,080 --> 02:05:46,560 Speaker 1: I think it might be true. I have to go 2316 02:05:46,680 --> 02:05:49,320 Speaker 1: true with that. NFC South maybe the best quarterback division 2317 02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:51,320 Speaker 1: in the National Football League, all right, the NFL true 2318 02:05:51,360 --> 02:05:55,720 Speaker 1: false Number three last one. If former NFL punter Marquette 2319 02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:59,280 Speaker 1: King played rugby, he would dominate easily. Have you ever 2320 02:05:59,320 --> 02:06:03,960 Speaker 1: played rugby, Brownie? I have never played it. I've watched it. Um, 2321 02:06:05,200 --> 02:06:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, just not my cup of tea. I 2322 02:06:08,280 --> 02:06:12,080 Speaker 1: played it, I played it in the Big ten. Why 2323 02:06:12,120 --> 02:06:15,120 Speaker 1: are they making it? My bigger question is why is 2324 02:06:15,200 --> 02:06:17,960 Speaker 1: this an issue? Why are we wondering about this? Is 2325 02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:23,480 Speaker 1: he deciding he's gonna play enough? People care? Yeah? We 2326 02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:25,960 Speaker 1: hope they care. They're listening to the show, right, Well, 2327 02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:27,960 Speaker 1: if everybody who cares is listening to the show, all 2328 02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:30,360 Speaker 1: three of them, Um, I don't. I'm gonna say no. 2329 02:06:32,440 --> 02:06:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say from my experience, and I like Marquette 2330 02:06:35,200 --> 02:06:37,560 Speaker 1: King and he's a good punter. He's a pretty good 2331 02:06:37,600 --> 02:06:40,640 Speaker 1: athlete as well. It plays piano very well too, by 2332 02:06:40,680 --> 02:06:46,120 Speaker 1: the way, But that having said that, to dominate the 2333 02:06:46,240 --> 02:06:51,120 Speaker 1: world rugby scene, no, you you're gonna be a little 2334 02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:55,120 Speaker 1: bit more genetically different than Marquette King is. You've got 2335 02:06:55,240 --> 02:06:57,880 Speaker 1: to be bigger, you've got to be faster, you've got 2336 02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:01,480 Speaker 1: to be I think they're just about his leg more 2337 02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:04,880 Speaker 1: than anything in this, right, You don't you don't dominate rugby. Yeah, 2338 02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:07,520 Speaker 1: you don't dominate rugby because you can punk the ball. No, Yeah, 2339 02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:10,520 Speaker 1: I didn't think so that's I'm I'm false too, That's 2340 02:07:10,680 --> 02:07:14,320 Speaker 1: that's complete false. Yeah, you you. You dominate rugby by 2341 02:07:14,400 --> 02:07:16,680 Speaker 1: having fifteen guys out there who are as big as 2342 02:07:16,680 --> 02:07:19,200 Speaker 1: a house and can all play running back and contract 2343 02:07:19,280 --> 02:07:23,000 Speaker 1: three people behind. Right exactly, It's a tough man's game 2344 02:07:23,080 --> 02:07:27,440 Speaker 1: that rugby is a is a vicious game played by 2345 02:07:27,520 --> 02:07:33,120 Speaker 1: gentleman um.
