1
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: player for Steve a blimp. We're not even in the

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: straded here of normalcy, alrighty. Then here we go on

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: a Monday with the band back together, Chris Brown, Steve

6
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Tasker with you one bills live as your show of

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: note as we get ramped up for Manda Tory mini camp,

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: and we'll get to all the details regarding that Jordan

9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: Poyer among other things. But Steve is back off a

10
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: jet setting cross continental vacation. Boom diggity, how's it going?

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Gould it be back? Hey? I'm kind of buzzing because

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to overcompensate for the jet lag that I'm

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: kind of experiencing right now. But it is not four

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: time zones or three four. It is yes four and uh.

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: We're in Anchorage, Alaska and got back yesterday at noon

16
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: after not sleeping at all on Saturday night because we

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: took a red eye and I was watching movies. I

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: watched like three movies. So I can't sleep on planes,

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: never had I'm not good at it. So I powered

20
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: through yesterday, went to bed early last night and then

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: woke up earlier this morning and and uh, I'm kind

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: of fighting it. It's good. I think tomorrow is going

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: to be the day. That's usually the day that really

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: crushes you. Oh you're gonna feel like you got hit

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: with a hammer. Yeah, absolutely, really so is it the

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: second day all the time? Because I've done a couple

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: of trips like that, and I'm usually okay after that

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: first day, you get hit on the second day. Huh yeah,

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, I think, well, I'm looking forward tomorrow then, right,

30
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm actually And it's also and also too for those

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: of you know, people get ready to put people who

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: are listening to us don't care about this, but we're

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: radio only today, which is a little bit transformative for

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: us in our in our delivery. So it's very much

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: so we're sitting in a different spot and we're actually

36
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: able to watch Jay Harris do his work. It's actually

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: a little, yeah, a little bit of a thrill here

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: today when we do the show, watch our producers work.

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: When we simulcast the show radio and TV, we're we're

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: in a studio with the doors closed and the control

41
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: rooms on the other side of those doors. No blast

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: partition or anything to see what the guys in the

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: control room are doing until it's the break and we

44
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: get up and we go in and say, hey, what's

45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: going on in here? We heard some cackling, you know,

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: behind the door. What what what Harry hijinks are going

47
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: on back here while we're actually working, you know. Yeah,

48
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: so that Yeah, today's did a little different. But nice

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: to be back, Ji, And it's uh, I know that

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: thanks to all the people who filled in for me

51
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: while I was. Yeah, it was some good help last

52
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: week and we appreciate it. As I was, I was traveling.

53
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: We were in Alaska, like I said, and also we

54
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: were in Atlanta's on the way through, on the way out.

55
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: Only A destinations apparently on this trip Atlanta and Anchor,

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: so so good. Good to have you back. We did

57
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: not go to Altuna, however, No, that that would be

58
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: an option. Sure, I'm sure there's a numerable number of

59
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: cities with an A you know at the start of it.

60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: So yes, and let's not go down that list. Now.

61
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: We could be here all day. But the news came

62
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: down this morning courtesy of ESPN's Adam Schefter that bills

63
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: all pro safety Jordan Poyer will attend the bills mandatory

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: minicamp this week despite still seeking a contract extension as

65
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: he enters the last year on his current deal thirty

66
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: one years old. Bills have been in communication with Drew

67
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: Rosenhall's Poyer's agent, according to Schefter, So we'll see where

68
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: it goes. I just know that as of right now,

69
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: and I realize you can always move the money around

70
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: and you know, fix the numbers. We've seen the Rams

71
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: do it time and again. But the Bills right now,

72
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: I think are about five and a half under the cap.

73
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: We know that Brandon as a rule, likes to have

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: about five million in half space as a safety net

75
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: in the event that you need to go out and

76
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: sign players, because if a rash of injuries should it happen. Now,

77
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: for the better part of the last three years, that

78
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: hasn't happened for the Bills. They've been extraordinarily fortunate. But

79
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: you always have to have that in place to cover

80
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: yourself in the event that such an occurrence takes place.

81
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to get pretty creative if you

82
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: want to put Jordan Poor into place where he is

83
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: satisfied with whatever a new deal might entail if there

84
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: even is one, and the fact that he's here. To me,

85
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a non story because Mandatory

86
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: is gonna show up and it's a mini camp, no question,

87
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: and nobody there's no team in the league that takes

88
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: care of its players better than the Bills take care

89
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: of it. So it's not like he's gonna come in

90
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: and risk injury or anything. Plus, it gives him a

91
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: chance to make sure he stays up to speed mentally

92
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: with the calls and checks the adjustment packages that they're

93
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: gonna put in, and new verbiage that they're going to add,

94
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: new philosophies or and new guys, all the volunteer stuff

95
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: that we've seen in the last month and a half.

96
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: The guys can shrug your shoulder, yeah, you know, and

97
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: we've seen guys too. When we saw Josh do it,

98
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: Josh did it. He took off, went to the match

99
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: right right. To his credit, he did take the red

100
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: eye back and was back the next day. Yeah. But

101
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: the point is that stuff is, it's team building, it's

102
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: you know, doing all that stuff. It's not really some

103
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: of its substantive, particularly for the young guys and the

104
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: new guys but for Jordan Poy to show up for this,

105
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: I think it's it's fine he's gonna do and I

106
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: would be surprised as well if there's any acrimony or

107
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: any bad feelings going into the season, even if it

108
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: deal does not get Yeah, I mean, we talked to

109
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: Brandon being here last week when he had a press

110
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: conference and he was asked about the Foyer situation, and

111
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: the way he spoke about it didn't give anybody the

112
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: sense that there was any acrimony involved in any of

113
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: the dialogue that had happened between the two parties to

114
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: this point. So it wasn't as if he was saying, oh, well,

115
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be here next week.

116
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: He kind of made it sound like I have no

117
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: indication that Jordan Poyer won't be here next week. And

118
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: the way he kind of described everything you made it

119
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: feel like, you know what, it's okay right now. It

120
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: looks like both sides are being patient with how to

121
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: handle and rectify this. Yeah. So now if he has

122
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: told them already and said hey, I'll come in for

123
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: this stuff in it, but when training camp starts, if

124
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't have a deal, if I'm not satisfied the

125
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: way it's going, I'm not gonna come, he might have said,

126
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: I doubt that, but he might. Well he might, but

127
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be pretty costly. I mean, you're looking to

128
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: get it more money right now. The fine it's like

129
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: fifty grand at grand a day a day. Imagine that, folks.

130
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: Even for guys on their rookie contract it's forty grand

131
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: a day, but veteran players are fifty grand a day.

132
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: If he missed the first day of mini camp tomorrow,

133
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,559
Speaker 1: it would have been almost sixteen grand. That's the fine

134
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: for day one, right, and then it goes up for

135
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: it's precipitously. Okay, so he's probably not going to hold out,

136
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: I think. But we've seen this as well. They show

137
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: up and don't participate. They're there so they don't get mind,

138
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: but they don't do anything, and they're become more of

139
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: a problem than they are. It'd be interesting to see

140
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: how Sean McDermott handled that in that environment, because you

141
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: don't want anybody who's not rowing the boat in the

142
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: same direction as everybody else in training camp, particularly in

143
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: a year like this when the expectations are sky high.

144
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: That's when it could get dicey, but I think the

145
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: bills will if they want to do it, I say,

146
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: right in a way that will allow Jordan to express himself,

147
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: because you don't. I think Sean mcdermin would go so

148
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: far as to say, you know what, if Jordan's gonna

149
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: hold out and he or if he's gonna show up

150
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: and not participate, let's excuse him from camp. Yeah, you

151
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't know if. I don't

152
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: know if they can do that for training camp. Yes,

153
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: there might be a provision in the new CBA. I

154
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: believe there's a provision in the new CBA. Oh, I

155
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: know what it is. You cannot wave a fine. Fines

156
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: cannot be rescinded, but they can once you get to

157
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: training camp. But they could just say so they're hard

158
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: and fast. Yes, but if he's not required to be there,

159
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: if they say you're excused from camp, we don't expect

160
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: you to be here, that's different. I don't know if

161
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: it absolves the fine, though, we'll see. I gotta go.

162
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: I gotta because certainly they're not finding guys to go

163
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: home for. They're not finding guys to go home for

164
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: because here's the thing, Jordan's say, listen, I'd love to

165
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: be there, but the club doesn't want me there right now.

166
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: That's different because and it's and it would be a

167
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: leadership moved by Sean mcdermots. Say, listen, if if guy's

168
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: gonna be here and he's not gonna be happy, he

169
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: ain't gonna help us. In fact, he's gonna hurt us.

170
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be counterproductive. Let's keep him out of the mix.

171
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. Yeah, I don't think it

172
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: would get to that point with player now. I don't either,

173
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: knowing the relationship, but if you're gonna explore the option,

174
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: that's something. When we get a minute, we should ask

175
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Brandon bean about if we see him out and about

176
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: the building. Of course, he might say, listen, guys, it's

177
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: not gonna get to that. We're gonna get a deal done,

178
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: or you know, he might say I don't know, you know,

179
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, he might say something else. It's an interesting

180
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: scenario though, because if I'm Sean McDermott, and we've seen

181
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: other teams do it, more so nowadays than ever before,

182
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: we're a guy one day is the first inkling you

183
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: get that he's unhappy the next day he's gone. They

184
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: traded him it. I'd be surprised with that. I've said

185
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: it a million times and I'll say it again. This

186
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: game demands your full attention and full emotional content, full

187
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: buy in you got, you gotta be ready to lay

188
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: it on the line. Physically, you can't even let your

189
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: foot off the gas. So if you get a guy

190
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: like that in there, particularly a guy at pour your

191
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: spot where you know somebody is a starting defensive player,

192
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: you gotta have a guy that's bought in, and a

193
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: guy that's a lesser player who is one hundred percent

194
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: bought in is better for you than a greater player

195
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: who's not bought in. You know what I'm saying. And

196
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: I think you'll see teams with that kind of attitude

197
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: because so I'm I wouldn't be surprised if they just

198
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: decided to do that. And if Jordan says, listen, guys,

199
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be happy without a new deal,

200
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: and the bills are saying listen, we can't do it,

201
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: I think it would surprise some people if it ever

202
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: came to that. Knowing, knowing the partnership that has existed

203
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: in the back of that secondary for the better part

204
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: of the last five years between Poyer and Hive, and

205
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: knowing that Poyer's in the last year of his deal,

206
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: I believe Hide might be as well. I think they

207
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: both know this could be their last look at it together.

208
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: Ah yeah, maybe. I mean Hide is thirty two, Poyer

209
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: is going to turn thirty two. I know they're great

210
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: and they've been great. Oh sure, but we know that

211
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: we also know that father time, here's the thing is undefeated.

212
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: This may have more to do with Jakwan Johnson and

213
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: Josh Thomas than it does Jordan Poyer and Tomorrow Hamlet

214
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Brownie. If they're not ready,

215
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: or maybe they are, well, even if they are, this

216
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: is a go for the whole banana deal. I get that.

217
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: But if you're saying hold on a second before you

218
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: go any further, let me say this. You are in

219
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: a Gopher it all type season. You want as many

220
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: sure fire bets as you can put on the field

221
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: and on your sideline. You've already got a new special

222
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: teams coordinator even though Matthew Smiley has been here for

223
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: five years, and a new offensive different and a new

224
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator who's never done it before, and then you

225
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: have all the other changes that have taken place, left guard,

226
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: defensive front, all of this stuff do you want? And

227
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a new cornerback starting on the outside

228
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: opposite Tredevious White. Tredevious White isn't a lock yet to

229
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: be ready week one, so there is a fair amount

230
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: of newness, inexperience, and uncertainty. You want to if you

231
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to get Poyer locked in and ready

232
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: for this sea in? Aren't you doing that? Because you're

233
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: trying to check as many boxes as you can to

234
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: give yourself the best chance to get to that big game,

235
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: and Payer is the better option right now. You'd always

236
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: want to do that, and you would try and do

237
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: it every year like that, But every year is going

238
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: to have at least as many questions as they do this, Yes,

239
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: at least as many. This one's avoidable though, if you

240
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: can get to the common ground. Yeah. But here's the

241
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: thing too, That's why I said it's about, you know,

242
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin and these guys. What if you get into

243
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: training camp and they've been holding Damar Hamlin off or

244
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: Jikwan Johnson off because they don't want to make that change.

245
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: It's like he's ready, he's been what if he's been ready? Yeah,

246
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They're saying, listen, we love Jordan,

247
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: and there's no question they do. I mean, we know it.

248
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: We've heard it privately and publicly that they love the guy.

249
00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: But you're talking about a move that you know, it's

250
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: like he gotta you know you already, you know, and

251
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: you know all these guys got von Miller, you got

252
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, Josh you got, you got, uh, Tremaine Edmonds

253
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: coming up, all of these guys. It's like, huh, football wise,

254
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna be pretty good with or without it, that's

255
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: the question. That's why I say that these guys that

256
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: were we've been waiting on for now three years. Yeah,

257
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: and they still haven't gone anywhere, but they're still sitting

258
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: there waiting to get on the field. I'm saying that

259
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: could be a contributing factor factor to saying, you know, Jordan,

260
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: we we got a fourth round pick for you. Yeah.

261
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: I I'd be hard pressed to believe they genuinely feel

262
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: they are better with a first year starter than with

263
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: the first team All Pro At the safety position, which

264
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: is a gigantic role. Now if you're gonna try and

265
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: stay him, let alone a team captain. I get the

266
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: expectations this year, Brownie, no question about it. They're high

267
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: and they should be. But this we've also heard this.

268
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: This is a team you know they this. It's nice

269
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: this year, but we're gonna be we want to be

270
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: back right here next year as well. Yeah, when would

271
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Powyer's stock be higher than it is now? Right?

272
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: Only if he plays as well as he did this

273
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: last year and you win the Super Bowl? Right, I

274
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: mean it would take a home right, But even so,

275
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: you may not get through this year because you know

276
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: you've got to give him a contract. It's gonna cost

277
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: you whatever. Is there another team? You know what I'm saying.

278
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Jordan wants to go anywhere. I don't.

279
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: And this is all scenarios that we're kind of conjuring up.

280
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: And if if there's nothing that's going to be done,

281
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: and what they happened, what would happen to the bills

282
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: if it didn't get done? But man, oh man, you

283
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: know that you start thinking about what are the other

284
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: options of if a deal doesn't get done or if

285
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: the bills don't want to do a deal, or if

286
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: they can't do a deal, and it's you know, it

287
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: comes down to the guys, who are there your other

288
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: options on the football field and a partner in a

289
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: trade or something like that, and Jordan's ability or willingness

290
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: to do that. You know, it might be that Payer

291
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: just says, you know what, Okay, how about this. I'll

292
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: play on this deal, but after this year, I'm a

293
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: free You gotta make me a free agent. You gotta

294
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: give me the money, and you gotta guarantee my money

295
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: and get me give me out. I think he is

296
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: up after this year anyway. So yeah, it'll be interesting

297
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: to see where the business side of that comes down.

298
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: But he will be here tomorrow. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter,

299
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: he is not alone. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson showed

300
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: up at the Ravens facility this morning. He has not

301
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: been on hand for the voluntary OTA's much the way

302
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: Payer has not attended voluntary OTAs here in Buffalo. He

303
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: is looking for a contract extension to be worked out

304
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: with the club, so he's still waiting on that, but

305
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: is ad mandatory mini caamp for the Ravens if for

306
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: some reason one cannot be reached, he would be playing

307
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: this year under the fifty year option from his rookie deal.

308
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: The one player who is not planning to be at

309
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: his team's mandatory mini caamp is Washington Commander's wide receiver

310
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin. That, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, McLaurin is

311
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: also seeking a contract extension consistent with other comparable wide

312
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: receivers that recently signed. So basically, the Washington Commanders can

313
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: thank the Miami Dolphins for you know, knocking over the

314
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: apple cart here and prompting every wide receiver of any

315
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: kind of ILK or ranking number one in the pecking

316
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 1: order on their respective team to come back to their

317
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: club with their handouts saying where's mine. The markets changed, Yeah,

318
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: and that's what they That's what Washington has right now.

319
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: There are reports out of Washington, not from Schefter, local

320
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: reporters in Washington are indicating that there has been dialogue

321
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: to try to broker a new agreement, but it does

322
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: not appear like anything is imminent right now for Terry McLaurin.

323
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: And this is an interesting part of the whole negotiation.

324
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: Steve not I'm sure that Washington's front office has taken

325
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: a look at the wide receiver landscape. We know that

326
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: Cooper cup just signed his deal and a host of

327
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: other number ones either had their deals redone, so Washington's

328
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: front office is obviously looking and saying, all right, is

329
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: there anybody between now and training camp that could get

330
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: a new deal at the wide receiver position to keep

331
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: driving this market up? I don't really see it. Oh okay,

332
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: well all right, let's just see if we can slowly

333
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: but surely get something ironed out with McLaurin. I'll tell you,

334
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: as much as Tyreek Hill's deal hurt the rest of

335
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: the league and resetting them market at an almost artificial

336
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: level for the wide receiver position, cupsteal helped NFL clubs

337
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: because he didn't ask for top of the market money.

338
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: He felt what he got was fair. Whether you feel

339
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: that's right, wrong or indifferent. I know NFL agents probably

340
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: weren't thrilled with it, but that at least helps a

341
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: little bit because that guy was the most productive receiver

342
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: in football last year, absolutely receptions, receiving yards, He hit

343
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: the triple Crown. Yeah, touchdowns, yeah, so he and it's

344
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: all the ability to communicate. Now, agents are good at this. Obviously,

345
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: it's their job. They got to go in there and

346
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: accentuate what their guy does, what he meant and what

347
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Usually the way the balance works, Brownie,

348
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: is this our guy meant this to your club, And

349
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: in many ways that's that's their weight of their argument.

350
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: You couldn't have done what you did last year without

351
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: our guy. The club comes back and says, well, look

352
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: at you know what he's doing in comparison to these guys.

353
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't. He wasn't in the top fifty

354
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: in this category. So the club puts him in a

355
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: in a wider and waits him in a wider spectrum

356
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: of players different comps. Yeah, and the way in what

357
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: you said about Cup is really interesting because there's a

358
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: guy who got the new deal on the on the

359
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: heels of one of the great seasons ever. Yeah, I

360
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: mean it. Their value couldn't have been hired, he couldn't

361
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: have been higher. And Tyreek Hill is and we've always said,

362
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 1: you know, he's kind of a unicorn. He can do

363
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: He can run faster than anybody in the league, which

364
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: it's a league full of fast people, and he is

365
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: strikingly fast. He's two or three steps fast. Yeah, everybody

366
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: else not one. He's And it's not just that these

367
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: guys can match his speed, but they can't get to

368
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: that speed in two steps like he does. When they

369
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: start out, he explodes away from people and then they

370
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, they can kind of right close

371
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. They can't do that to anybody else.

372
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Tyreek is a different cat. There's just no

373
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: question about it. Like him or hate him. Despite what

374
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: he's saying about two and Pat Mahomes in the media

375
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: and all of that, and down in Miami, he's gonna

376
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: be in a different team. That cat is different. So

377
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: they're paying for that gift a little bit, and teams

378
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: will try and spin it that way. You can't do

379
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: what Tyreek does, so we're not gonna pay you like

380
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: Tyreek gets paid. It's a it's a little bit of

381
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: a veiled argument, but it's there. Yeah, it's there. And

382
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: then it's up to the agent and the player to say, well,

383
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you know Tyreek can't do what I do.

384
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: And I'll say, yeah, well prove it. You know how

385
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that. Um, that's the argument, and that's

386
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: where you're gonna get with guys like mclaure. And that's

387
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: where you're gonna get with guys like you know, like

388
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs and he got his extension all that stuff.

389
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: You know, all the guys you name, all the receivers,

390
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna get monster money. And the market is always, always,

391
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: always going to be reset by the newest contract. So

392
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: you know that when you see a guy who is

393
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: different than Cooper Cup setting the market like we've been

394
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: talking about, that's when that's when players, teams are going on,

395
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: wait a minute, now, how we're gonna get out from

396
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: under this guy, because our guys better than that guy.

397
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: How we're gonna how we're gonna look him in the

398
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: eye and tell him he's not better than that guy,

399
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: because if he is, like we think he is, we

400
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: gotta pay him that. That's when he get teams like

401
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: going on, We're just not gonna do it. We're just

402
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: not gonna do it. We did notice that the Chiefs

403
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: added a piece back to their offense that played a

404
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: pretty sizable role for them last year in the playoffs.

405
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: Running back Jerick McKinnon, who was still still a free

406
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: agent as of yesterday has resigned with the Chiefs one

407
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: year deal. In the playoff. Steve McKinnon just took over

408
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: the starting running back role and was extraordinarily productive for them.

409
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: Basically played in two postseason games, or sorry, three postseason games,

410
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: three hundred fifteen total yards, one hundred and sixty five

411
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: receiving one hundred fifty rushing on forty eight touches. And

412
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: he's thirty years old. But in this league and with

413
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: the way the Chiefs play, it's not like he's getting

414
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: worn down from running the ball. They don't do a

415
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: whole lot of that. And he certainly proved himself as

416
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: a dangerous threat out of the backfield. So he might

417
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: be thirty, but he's not going to get a workload

418
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: that might lead to diminishing returns because we know a

419
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: lot of running backs that tote the mail tend to

420
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff after age twenty eight. He's essentially

421
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: a part time running back. He's more of a pass

422
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: receiver in that offense. What's wrong with their other guy

423
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: that Clyde Edwards? Hilaria hilariy. Yeah, small, and he's injured

424
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, that's that's the interesting part to me.

425
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: I think it's still gonna be a committee backfield at

426
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day. The Chiefs, for me, that's

427
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: their philosophy of building their team. We're gonna get the

428
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: best possible players we can offensively to surround our quarterback,

429
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have depth and quality depth to boot

430
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: because when we get into these games, if you're losing,

431
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: you got to have the horses to come back and

432
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: win it. So we're do you not see that too?

433
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, their defense is okay, we'll get a couple

434
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: of guys. Maybe we'll pay one or two guys, you

435
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: know whatever. We're just gonna put some guys out there.

436
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, guy who's playing corner for them. Right, they

437
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: lost Tyranne Matthew gone. Right. He was their best defensive

438
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: back and certainly maybe their best defensive player, and he's gone.

439
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: They were starting, I mean, their safeties were atrocious last year,

440
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: so they'll have Thornhill back there. They just they just

441
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: do not spend any real resources, certainly not enough resources

442
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion, on a defense. And maybe it's their philosophy.

443
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: Like we've said, you know, they can't play defense anyway

444
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: in the league because of the atmosphere in the league

445
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: and the way it's been officiated. Let's just score. So

446
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: I forgot this. They also added Ronald Jones from Tampa

447
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: to their running back room. So that's Clyde Edwards, Hilaire,

448
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: Jack McKinnon, Ronald Jones. It's going to be a committee backfield.

449
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: They didn't replace are good. They did replace Tyronne Matthew

450
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: with the Houston free agent Justin Reid, three year deal

451
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: for thirty one and a half million, younger player, good athlete.

452
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: I then I just think. But they lost char Various

453
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: war at the corner, you know, as you mentioned, and

454
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: they lost Tyron Matthew. They also waved goodbye to Daniel Sorenson,

455
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: who was getting chopped up. He was bad a million different.

456
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: He can't cover. He's a box safety's yeah, he's fifteen

457
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: years too late to the league. He just he can't cover.

458
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: They lost to Marcus Robinson to Las Vegas. Jaron Reid

459
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: is in Green Bay their defensive lineman, and Melvin Ingram

460
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: left after a half season there. He's in Miami. Veteran

461
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: cornerback Mike Hughes went to Detroit. They franchised Orlando Brown

462
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: attackle so you know it's yeah. I mean they turned

463
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: it over and obviously they lost Tyreek Hill. Why wouldn't

464
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: you turn it over defensively for them? But in my opinion,

465
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: takes this they are focused solely every offseason on the offense,

466
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: keeping it good, getting it better, depth in quality, depth,

467
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: because their philosophy is, if you have injuries, okay, but

468
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: if you got depth, who cares. Plus if you lose

469
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: guys on the defensive side of the football, you can't

470
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: stop people. At least your offense can keep up with

471
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: a guy like Mahomes. And if we support Mahomes, he

472
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: can score with anybody in any situation. Right, So I think,

473
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: and it makes some sense when you think about it,

474
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: if you're if you can sustain a bunch of injuries.

475
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: I know, obviously if Mahomes gets hurt, everything comes apart.

476
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: But if you can sustain a bunch of injuries and

477
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: you got these guys anyway and just keep rolling offensively

478
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: through it, at least you can score points in these

479
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: games and win games and force other teams to score

480
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: to keep up with you, or at least not be

481
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: able to run off and leave you. So I think

482
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City has almost is setting you know, kind of

483
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: setting the trend for what we've been talking about or

484
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: talk about once in a while on this show. They're

485
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: not even allowing you to play defense. So Kansas, he's

486
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: not spending any money worrying about it. Yeah, I mean

487
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: they have They still have Chris Jones and Frank Clark

488
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 1: up front. They signed Derek Noddy in free agency. They

489
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: drafted George Karloftis to produe pass rusher. Think about this now,

490
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: and they also drafted Trent McDuffie to play nickel corner

491
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, think about it. If you get into

492
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: these games, and certainly, um you can you can make

493
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: whatever argument you can. But that's we've been talking about it,

494
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: and it's gonna get worse. The Bills, for instance, the

495
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: Bills play had the number one defense and a ton

496
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 1: of different categories last year. We talk about it all

497
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: offseason and who would people talk about the Bills. They're

498
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: talking about Josh and Digs and the offense even in

499
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: the media. Their defense it was unspectacular and they were

500
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 1: the number one defense in the league and they had

501
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: You can't even play defense anymore if you don't have

502
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: a pass rush that gets sacks and all that stuff

503
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: and catches people's eye. Nobody cares about defense. That's that's

504
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: the state that they're in right now. So it's about

505
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: it's about trying to try to slow the bleeding. Is

506
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: what defense in the NFL is. Yeah, compare And I'm

507
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: not one of those old you know me, I'm I

508
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: love the league. I love where it's had. It's fun

509
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: to watch, it's the best thing going, and it's evolved

510
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: to this spot. But you get these old old guys

511
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: like me, like me, other guys like me who are bitter,

512
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: they're like going, it's professional track and field. Yeah, you know,

513
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: I get's a seven on seven league and I get it.

514
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 1: But but that's why they're that's why they're coaching and

515
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: picking their rosters the way they are is because it

516
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: is that atmosphere in the league. The Bills had the

517
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: number that's what The Bills had the number one defense

518
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: in the league last year and you couldn't tell by

519
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: watching it. Yeah, well there were some weeks. I mean,

520
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: they had a shoutout against Houston. They had two shutouts

521
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: in the first five weeks of the season. Yeah, so

522
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: that really goes a long way. Yeah, in a league

523
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: like this, but in my You see what I'm saying.

524
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's an offensive league. Don't think anybody would

525
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: debat that for a second. We have to take a

526
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: break here. We do want to let you know that

527
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll is out for you Twitter question today,

528
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: what do you want to hear about from day one

529
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: of Bill's minicamp tomorrow? Like, what would be an encouraging

530
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: thing you're hoping to hear about Bill's minicamp tomorrow. You

531
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: already know that player is expected to be there, so

532
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: that's off the table. Give us some other development that

533
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: you hope to hear come tomorrow when we're covering training

534
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: camp for you here on One Bill's Live, presented by

535
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back One Bill's Live.

536
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you on a Monday, the

537
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: day before Bill's mandatory mini camp. And we've been kind

538
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: of going around a league a little bit. I know

539
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: Steve touched on this a little bit, but let's address

540
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: this very quickly. When comparing quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and two

541
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: Atongo Voloa, in an interview on some podcast over the

542
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: weekend end or late last week, Tyreek Hill said accuracy wise,

543
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm going with two all day. This ruffled people's feathers

544
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: and made people go, what where is two of better

545
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: than Patrick Mahomes in any category? But I will say this,

546
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: first of all, I think we know what this is.

547
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: This is an exercise in a receiver in a new

548
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: place trying to pump the tires on his quarterback who

549
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: he's going to be playing with for the foreseeable future.

550
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 1: So that's part one of this Part two. He's not wrong.

551
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: If two is anything, He's accurate when he throws the football. Now,

552
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: people will point to statistics, which I think some of

553
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: them are using it in a vacuum. They're like, oh,

554
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: on passes of over twenty yards to had the highest

555
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: completion percentage in the league of fifty percent. Well, he

556
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: only threw twenty nine passes over twenty yards all of

557
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: last season. Of course, his percentage is going to be high.

558
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: Increase the sample size and let's see what we get then.

559
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: But I will say, if not for anything, you know

560
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: on the short to intermediate passing game, he's an accurate thrower.

561
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: He's an accurate thrower. Is he more accurate than Patrick Mahomes? Ass?

562
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: And it's not about It's not about It's never been

563
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: about that with TWA. It's never been about his ability

564
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: to read the defense, or that his problem is his

565
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: arm is not strong. Yeah, he's driving the ball, just

566
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: throws darts. But unfortunately the footballs that he throws also

567
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: have feathers on him, just like his darts due you know,

568
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean the things they flutter and they I've said

569
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: it a ton, and people here in Buffalo get tired

570
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: of me. Here you and I go down. I don't

571
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: know if you do. I know I'm on the field,

572
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: m pre game and all of that stuff. You can

573
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: down and watch these quarterbacks, all these players. You get

574
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: a chance to size him up, standing close to them

575
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: while they're warming up and doing stuff. And you go

576
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: down and you watch Josh Allen warm up, and he's

577
00:32:55,080 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: a different cat. He's big, he's athletic. When he spins it,

578
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: it comes out, the thing whistles and it's effortless. Yeah,

579
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: and he makes it look like if he's a golfer.

580
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: He's on the putting green and he's singing it right.

581
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: And then you look at the other guy. And there's

582
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: some quarterbacks out there who are like, Okay, I see

583
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. Joe Burrows of the world, the Justin

584
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: Herberts of the world. And you go down listen, you

585
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: know all these guys, even Zach Wilson. You know he

586
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: can sling it. You know he's got a pretty good arm.

587
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: He got a live arm, all these guys. And then

588
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: you go down there on a game where you're playing

589
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins, and you look over there and

590
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: their backup quarterback, whoever it may be, looks like he's

591
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,239
Speaker 1: got as good or maybe a better arm than two.

592
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: It does who is his ball doesn't have velocity on it,

593
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't spin out of there, and has nothing to

594
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: do with the fact that he's left handed. But he's

595
00:33:54,920 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: a small guy who really has to work it to

596
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: get the ball out there. That's where all this criticism

597
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: of two. That's it. Plus, he doesn't run real good.

598
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: He's not fast. When he does run, you think usually

599
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 1: a guy in the NFL who's a little smaller guy,

600
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: they can scoot. Whoever it is, Russ Wilson, he can scoot.

601
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: All these guys. You know, Tyler Murray, he can fly.

602
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: Two can't do that either. So there's a couple of

603
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: key ingredients that are missing from his skill set. That

604
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: cause people who follow the NFL to go, he's not

605
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: the guy. They're just he's not the guy now Miami.

606
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: People see the other stuff, the stuff, and we're not

607
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: really interested in why. And okay, all right, yeah, okay.

608
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: The ball comes out on time, he knows what he's

609
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: looking at. He can put it in a tight window

610
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: and he does it consistently. Good. But man, oh man,

611
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: you can't throw the football down the field very far.

612
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: And if you get in on him athletically, he has

613
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: a hard time. I'm extending the play. And in this

614
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: day and age in the NFL, if your quarterback can't

615
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: extend the play and put the fear of him taking

616
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: off and running into your defense, ye, people are like

617
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: they're done with that kind of stuff. Well, and if

618
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: he's ever doing that, people are looking to size him

619
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: up and put a lick on him. Well, yeah, he's

620
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: not a big guy. People think twice about cracking Josh

621
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: coming at you with a full head of steam at

622
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: six corners are gonna they're gonna come in going low.

623
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: They're not gonna take John Josh on. They'll get they'll

624
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: get trucked. Yeah, but they'll yeah, for what it's worth,

625
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: because you know Pro Football Focus sometimes has it's good

626
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: or it's bad um in terms of some of the

627
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: statistical information they come up with through film study. But

628
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: they have adjusted completion percentage for mahomes last year it

629
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: was seventy eight point three percent that ranked second in

630
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: the league. Last season, Tagavolo has adjusted completion percentage of

631
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: seventy five point three percent, ranked eighteenth for what it's worth.

632
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: So that's a completion percentage that takes into account how

633
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: many balls are catchable, etc. And factors in the equation

634
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: that way, just you know whatever. The other interesting thing

635
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: that I saw, Steve was the potentially messy situation involving

636
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: La Chargers ownership regarding the Spanos family. I don't know

637
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: if you saw that, but La Chargers owner Dean Spanos

638
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: has been accused of misogynistic behavior, self dealing, and repeated

639
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: breaches of fiduciary duty by his sister in a lawsuit

640
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: that escalates there on the siblings ongoing legal battle over

641
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: control of the team. Lawsuit filed last Thursday in San

642
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: Joaquin County Superior Court, and his sister, Dia Spanos Barbarian,

643
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: is seeking sole control of a family trust that constitutes

644
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: more than one third of the Chargers ownership. The suit

645
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: also asks the court to suspend and remove Spanos as

646
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: a co trustee and seeks unspecified financial damages awarded to

647
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: Barbarian his sister. So this is sticky to say the least,

648
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: but Spanos, his sister, and their siblings Michael and Alexandra,

649
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: each owned fifteen percent of the Chargers, with thirty six

650
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: percent managed by the family trust. The rest of the

651
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: remaining four percent is owned by non family members, so

652
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: they have a couple of minority owners, but they were basic.

653
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: The brother and sister were left as co trustees after

654
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: their dad, Alex died in twenty eighteen. So it's kind

655
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: of and it's been that way. It's been a little

656
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: bit like that in the Denver changeover as well. Yeah,

657
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: with the Bowling family. With the Bowling family, one of

658
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: the daughters, there was a few things that they had

659
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: to do to get in a position where they could

660
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: be considered by the trustee to handle the team's affairs,

661
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: but it never happened and they were obviously just forced

662
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: to sell. Yeah, you start dealing with a thing like

663
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: the NFL and you've got family members involved, and yeah,

664
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: not every family's perfect. Yeah, and that's you know, that's

665
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: got brothers and sisters sueing each other. That's that's not good. No,

666
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: And I mean they're not the only franchise with issues.

667
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: And we'll be talking to NFL Networks Judy Bautista in

668
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: the second hour of the show. She'll be attending the

669
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,959
Speaker 1: upcoming owners meetings and we'll be asking her about what's

670
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: going to happen with Daniel Snyder and the Washington Commanders,

671
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: because the last we heard at the May owners meetings,

672
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the other owners were doing a straw

673
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: poll to see if they had enough votes to get

674
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder out right, So we'll see if she's got

675
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: any updates on where that could stand. This Spanos thing

676
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: that came up with the Chargers now, so there's a

677
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: bunch of different issues that the league may or may

678
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: not address. Some of these things. They may just say, hey,

679
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: we're tabling that. We'll get to that later. We get

680
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: some more pressing stuff over here. But we'll check in

681
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: with Judi Batist the second hour of the show and

682
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: find out exactly what is what. She also had some

683
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: bills mentions in some of her most recent content on

684
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. Will be asking her about that as well.

685
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: We got a little bit of time here for the

686
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, Steve, so let's do that tweet sheet, brought

687
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

688
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills, as we take a look

689
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: at some of the replies, as we have been asking basically,

690
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: when Mandatory Miniicamp opens tomorrow, what do you want to

691
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: hear about day one? What is your ideal story coming

692
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: out of day one of Mandatory Mini Caamp? Steve says,

693
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: I want to hear what Rousseau, Epanessa, and Basham looked

694
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: like at practice. A jump in production from these guys

695
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: could make this defense at all time elite NFL defense.

696
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: And while I think anybody would be interested in hearing

697
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: how those young pass rushers are doing. As Leslie Frasier

698
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: pointed out last this week, Steve, it's really hard for

699
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: linemen to shine in this kind of a football setting

700
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: where there are no pads and it's helmets. It's not

701
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: full contact. They're protecting themselves from each other. It's that

702
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: kind of chemistry, you know, in terms of guys playing

703
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: off one another. How much their game is advanced. I

704
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: don't know if it's really going to be realized or

705
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: witnessed until we get to training camp and certainly the

706
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: preseason right right, they're not gonna be now. The only way,

707
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly, nobody in the media is going to

708
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: know what they're looking at when they're watching the offensive

709
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: linemen out there in shorts and T shirts, even in pads.

710
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: They're not going to be that competitive here. There's not

711
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna be any banging around kind of stuff, even if

712
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: they go full gear. But the simple fact the matter

713
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: is the only way you know that somebody is shining

714
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: in these environments is when you get word from one

715
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: of the assistant coaches. Let's say that guy right there,

716
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: you know he did this, he's doing this, that guy's

717
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: something different, this guy's something different, this guy over hears something,

718
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: and it'll be completely off everybody else's radar. You could

719
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: have the entire media fleet of media people here in

720
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: Western York out there watching every minute of practice. The

721
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 1: only way you really know is when the assistant coaches

722
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: are like, going, that's the guy. Yeah, break time for

723
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: us here. When we come back, we'll get some more

724
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet, and there is a very

725
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: interesting approach being taken Steve by the host nation of

726
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: the upcoming World Cup this fall. Let's just say they

727
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: operate in a very restrictive world. They plan fully to

728
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: impose those restrictions on the world that will be descending

729
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: on the country of Clutter or Qatar, depending on how

730
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: you choose to pronounce it. Both are acceptable. But I

731
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: will be passing along some pretty eye popping detail when

732
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: we come back here on one Bill's Live presented by

733
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: Collat of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, we

734
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: are back, and as I mentioned to Steve, we know

735
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: that the upcoming World Cup is going to be held

736
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: in Qatar or Cutter. Either pronunciation is acceptable, and the

737
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: World Cup host, this host nation has a very restrictive society,

738
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: shall we say, Steve, So they are all ready fully

739
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: aware that the world is literally going to descend on

740
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 1: their country to attend the matches and all of that.

741
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: They are already threatening shocking and severe punishments for certain

742
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 1: behaviors as it gears up for the group stage matches

743
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: coming up in November. Fans caught with drugs Steve in

744
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: that country could face the death penalty according according to

745
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: Katari law. So you get caught holding a joint, your

746
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: head's coming on, could could happen, could face the death

747
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: penalty is due. That's protesters if they're stirring up public opinion.

748
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: For example, we know women don't have a whole lot

749
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: of rights in that country. Say I'm holding a sign

750
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: that said protesters. Protesters could face five years in prison

751
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: just for stirring up public opinion. Amnesty International, Human Rights

752
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: Watch other groups have called on FIFA, the World soccer

753
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 1: governing body, to set aside four hundred forty million dollars

754
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: to compensate migrant workers and Cutter for human rights abuses

755
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: when they were put to work to build all the

756
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: stadiums for the World Cup. It's uh, we're like five

757
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: months away from this. Hey, welcome him to the tournament.

758
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: Let me here at the World Cup, and Cutter just

759
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: don't bring any drugs or you could face the death

760
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: penalt right, what think about this too? If if they

761
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: are that doing that to their to their people or

762
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: their migrant workers or whoever they are, I guess they're

763
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: not citizens. I guess I'm not going to pretend to

764
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: know how. And they're setting aside four hundred and some

765
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: asking FIFA to do that to compensate the migrant workers

766
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: who were obviously taken advantage of by the government there

767
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: to building, Amnesty, International, Human Rights Watch, etc. So FIFA says, yeah,

768
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: we'll give him four hundred and forty I don't know

769
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: if they've said yes or not asking you that's what

770
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying. If if FIFA says, yeah, okay, you know what,

771
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: you're right, we'll give him four and forty million for

772
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 1: the people who built those stadiums. Out of that, how

773
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: many how many pennies if any, are gonna make it

774
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: all the way to the poor slab who sat out

775
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: there in one hundred and twenty degree temperature a porn

776
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: concrete zero that's how many that money's going into the

777
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: government's pocket. That'll never see the light of day for

778
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: any of those people. Come on, if if you're gonna

779
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: take somebody's life for you know, a bag of marijuana, wow,

780
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: that you're not getting any They're not getting any that

781
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: four hundred and some odd million dollars of relief for

782
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: the people who built the stadium. People throw around free

783
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: speech in this country like it's no big deal. You

784
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: put a sign up and cutter your five years of

785
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: five years in prison. Two people are standing there. It

786
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: constitutes a public gathering. You're done. You're going to be

787
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: interesting to see how that all plays out. Guitar not

788
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: exactly endearing itself to the rest of the world. And

789
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 1: in advance of the World Cup, and you know, I

790
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 1: say this too, they're having a lot of the games

791
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: that they're playing have to be at night. Well, first

792
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: of all, they have to move the tournament from summer

793
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 1: right to late fall right, just because you would literally

794
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: have people passing out on the field in one hundred

795
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: and twenty degrees playing in ninety minutes soccermento. Yeah, so

796
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: they moved the tournament from June. It usually starts first

797
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: week in June, ends like July fourth weekend. They moved

798
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: it too late in November. It starts like five days

799
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving and ends like four days before Christmas. Man,

800
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: and it's and for good read it'll still be smoking

801
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 1: like seventy or z or eighties or so. It'll better

802
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: maybe even more yea, yeah, but that yeah, So okay, um,

803
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: are we getting this World Cup? Okay, Olympics kind of

804
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: the same thing, you know, kind of every four years.

805
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: Big deal. They're they're really struggling to do things the

806
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: way they've always done it. Yeah they aren't. They they've

807
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: they've moved, you're a soccer They've moved heaven and earth

808
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: to make this happen in this country. Why because they

809
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: put up the money, right, they put up the money,

810
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,919
Speaker 1: oil money man, just put it all out. Hey, bring

811
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: the tournament here us. I mean, they're even they're already projecting.

812
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: The US, Canada, and Mexico are hosting the twenty twenty

813
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: six World Cup, and they're already estimating that the influx

814
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: to the economy could amount to five billion dollars by

815
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: hosting the month long tournament. And it's it's between the

816
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: US and Canada, Mexico. The US, Canada, and Mexico all

817
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: hosting together. The majority of the matches are in the

818
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: United States. They are a handful, okay in the other two.

819
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 1: All Right, so we shall see. It's that's gonna be interesting.

820
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: We gotta take a break back to football, the American

821
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 1: version when we come back. NFL Networks Judy Battista joining

824
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: been all over the field unique he was kind of

825
00:47:55,640 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: a dual role player for Steve a blimp. We're not

826
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: even in the straded beer of normalcy, alright, our number

830
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: here in our number two, we're gonna be talking some

831
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: more football and around the league. Look as we check

832
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: in with our good friend NFL network writer and reporter

833
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: Judy Batista joining us on the line. Judy, how are

834
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: you doing? Good to catch up with you, Good to

835
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: talk to you. Guys, how are you We're doing okay,

836
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: We're you know, we're hanging in here. We're wrapping up

837
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: the last step of I guess the offseason part here

838
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: with mandatory mini camps starting up here tomorrow and we're

839
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: ready to roll. I guess the first thing I wanted

840
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: to bounce off of you though, because I know you

841
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: recently put this together for NFL dot com, some eight

842
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: intriguing storylines to follow at mandatory mini camps, and it's hard,

843
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: and I know why you put it at number one

844
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to avoid. It's it's like blocking out the

845
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: sun with how you know how much attention it has

846
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: been getting because there is seemingly a new layer to

847
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: it each and every week. But the Deshaun Watson situation

848
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, I have to believe if they did the

849
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: due diligence that they said they did at the outset judy,

850
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: that some of these new layers that are coming to

851
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: light are not terribly surprising to them. But I don't know,

852
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong, but this is getting uglier and uglier,

853
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: not that it wasn't ugly to begin with. How much

854
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: worse does this get? Well, I mean, we don't even

855
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: know where at headed with the NFL investigation, so it's

856
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: the potential for it's getting much worse that week. In

857
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 1: football terms. Is certainly there will there come out more legally,

858
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's possible. Don't forget there's still these twenty

859
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: four civil cases against him that have to make their

860
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: way to course, so there could be more stuff emerging

861
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: out of that. But strictly in football terms, I mean,

862
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, we don't even know where this is headed.

863
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: Is he going to be suspended for? How long? When

864
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: will we find that outsertantly. The hope is that, you know,

865
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: the NFL will be able to tell the Browns and

866
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: everybody else what they're going to do before training camp starts,

867
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: so that the Browns no going into training camp who

868
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: their quarterback is going to be. But certainly this is

869
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, this is a bad situation. Frankly, it's one

870
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: that the Browns brought on themselves. They did whatever amount

871
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 1: of due diligence they did, and they insist that they

872
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with him, and you know, we'll see if

873
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: they were right, but certainly the potential for real discipline

874
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: is on the table and until that is resolved, I

875
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: agree with you, that's just going to be the story

876
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: that blocks out the sun for the NFL. Well, and

877
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: the question I have is, and they've said or alluded

878
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: to this, and I'm putting you can't see it because

879
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: we're on radio, Judy, but I'm putting up finger quotes

880
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 1: about this due diligence. They're talking about how much really

881
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: was there or how much could they have done? I mean,

882
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: they didn't go talk to any of these ladies. They

883
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: talked to Deshaun Watson, and it seems as though they

884
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: just are willing to ride out. However rough it gets

885
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson. I mean, that's what we're talking about, right,

886
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they guaranteed him this money, so at some

887
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: point he's going to be under center for the Cleveland Browns. Yeah,

888
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be blunt. This was a play for

889
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: the long term. They talked to people who told them

890
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: what they wanted to hear. They talked to Deshaun Watson's people,

891
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: his lawyer, or his agent. They did not talk to

892
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: the accusers or the accuser's attorney. So they talked to

893
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: people who would tell them what they wanted to hear.

894
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: And then you know, they rolled the dice that presumably

895
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: he will. They think he won't get a lengthy suspension

896
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: this year, and even if he does, he's still under

897
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: contract going forward. So this is a long term play

898
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: for them, and and they can afford to do that.

899
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: He's a young, extremely talented quarterback. And so if if

900
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: you can compartmentalize all of the off field things, which

901
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: is very, very difficult to do, but clearly the Browns

902
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: made the decision that they could do it. And if

903
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: you can do that, then you could see why they

904
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: would why they would make that. I mean, I think

905
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: if you're looking at it in total um, you know,

906
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: we're going to be asking how wise this decision was

907
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 1: for years? How likely is it that Jimmy has lum

908
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: or anybody else with the Browns called Roger Goodell the

909
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: Commissioner's office, said Okay, here's what we're thinking about doing.

910
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: What are the you know, what do you likely what's

911
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: it looked like it's gonna do when it comes down

912
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: and all this is settled. What's what's the likely suspension

913
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: you're looking at? So we can get our mind around

914
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: if you're gonna you know, because the league could obviously say, listen,

915
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna suspend him indefinitely until all twenty four cases

916
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: are suspect. You're not going to be hurt until next year, right,

917
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: So you know, if if they're going to say, all right,

918
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna suspend him indefinitely until the entire things cleared up,

919
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to sign him to this contract, then

920
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 1: what you know? So what how likely is it that

921
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: they got the yeah, exactly, the advanced scouting report from

922
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: the league about what kind of suspension he was looking at.

923
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that they got a number from the league.

924
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the leagues set go ahead because it's

925
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: only going to be this. I think they looked at

926
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: the landscape. He was not indicted by the Grand Juries,

927
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: so they knew there would not be criminal charges, which

928
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: which was a very big part of it. And some

929
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: of the other teams too. It wasn't just the Browns,

930
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: the other teams that were in pursuit of him. Once

931
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: the Grand Juries declined to indict him, like the floodgates

932
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: opened and everybody said, okay, so there won't be criminal charges,

933
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: we can deal with the civil charges. That seemed to

934
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: be the mindset, and you know, and I think they

935
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: sort of did the calculation. Roger Goodell had previously said

936
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 1: he would not be put on the Commissioner's exempt list,

937
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: so it would either be disciplined from the NFL's investigation

938
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 1: or nothing, and they were willing to roll the dice

939
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: that even if there's discipline, it's not going to be

940
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: stabilitating discipline for the Browns. Yeah, you know, I mean,

941
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: we can go back and forth on whether that was

942
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: a smart decision. I certainly don't think it was a

943
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: very smart decision. But you could see from strictly football terms,

944
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: you could see why they would be willing to roll

945
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 1: the dice because even if he is suspended indefinitely, even

946
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: if he suspended all season, he still is a very

947
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: young quarterback and a very talented quarterback, and so you

948
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: could see why they would say, well, this is a

949
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: long term bet. We're making last one on this very

950
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: quickly because I do want to move on. Do you

951
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: anticipate the NFL wanting to be on the front side

952
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: of this with a suspension sooner rather than later, because

953
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: that's that's everything that we're hearing right now, But then

954
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: you also see these extra layers cropping up, and I

955
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: just wonder if there is some measure of concern on

956
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: the part of the league, like, well, what if we

957
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: hand down a suspend and more stuff comes out and

958
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: it ends up looking lenient. Do you have any sense

959
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,439
Speaker 1: on what do they want to be on the front

960
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 1: foot with a suspension, Judy, I think they Well, first

961
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: of all, I think timing wise, again, I think they

962
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: want to get something done this summer, so that going

963
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: into training camp and there's some you know, certainty about

964
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: his availability, but they can always protect themselves by saying,

965
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: if more information emerges, we will you know we will

966
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: revisit this, I mean in the middle of doing that

967
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: with Dan Snyder. So they don't have to box themselves

968
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: in whatever they say, you know, suspension, non suspension, they

969
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: can always say, look, if more information emergences, this goes

970
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: to record, we can revisit that. One of the other

971
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: things that you've been working on, some of the stuff

972
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: you've been doing for for the NFL, for for your writing,

973
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: is the stuff that about the quarterbacks, which teams have

974
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: helped them themselves their young quarterbacks, which teams did not

975
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 1: do too much. And one of the surprising things, not surprising,

976
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: but one of the teams that had a surprising offseason

977
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: in the fact that a lot of people like what

978
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,479
Speaker 1: they did, and that's the New York Jets. They seem

979
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: to have nailed the draft, which is in and of itself,

980
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: something they don't do usually, and then to do it

981
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 1: in a way that they did it gives Zach Wilson

982
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 1: maybe a chance to be more successful than he was

983
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,479
Speaker 1: a year ago. Talk to us a little bit about

984
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: the rankings, of which which are these top three or

985
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: four teams really helped their quarterback in a big way

986
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: this offseason, and two of them happened to be in

987
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: the AFC East. Yeah, let's be clear, this does not

988
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: necessarily this is not me predicting that the New York

989
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: Jets are winning as this is just the teams that

990
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: I think, you know, tried the hardest, did the most

991
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: this offseason to help their guy, and I think the

992
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: Jets have done that this year and then sort of

993
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: in the last two years. Joe Douglas, when he became

994
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: the general manager, knew that the Jets had not done

995
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: much to help Sam Donalds. They just did never give

996
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: him the support he needed. He was, you know, the

997
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers that Sam Donald's played with were substandard, and

998
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 1: Douglas knew he could not do that to Zach Wilson.

999
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: And over the last two seasons, they've really overhauled the

1000
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: entire roster, but especially the offense. I mean, just this offseason,

1001
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: they overhauled the tight end room. They drafted the guy

1002
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: who may be the you know, the best wide receiver

1003
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: or the most ready wide receiver in the drafting, Garrett Wilson.

1004
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: Then they drafted, you know, the guy who might be

1005
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: the best running back in this class in Greece Hall.

1006
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: So they have certainly put and they've paid and rebuilt

1007
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: the offensive line too, so they have certainly put the

1008
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: pieces in place. Obviously, it is all about Zach Wilson's

1009
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: development and can he make the leap? And by the way,

1010
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: he has transformed his body in this offseason. He changed

1011
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: his diet, He's put on a lot of muscle, He's

1012
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: much bigger. So the question now is can he make

1013
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: the leaps in performance. But in the past you couldn't

1014
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: really tell that about a Jets quarterback because they just

1015
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: weren't playing with a whole lot around him. Well, now

1016
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: that they've got a supporting cast around Zach Wilson, and

1017
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: now you know, we'll see if he can make the

1018
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: jump too. And I know that the teams you listed

1019
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: second and third on your list there in terms of

1020
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: the five NFL teams that helped their quarterbacks the most

1021
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: of this offseason, you had the Dolphins and the Raiders.

1022
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: And while their moves are well noted, how much do

1023
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: you and I know this wasn't a write up that

1024
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: you did predicting how much success these teams were going

1025
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: to have. You're just strictly looking at quarterback help. I

1026
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: can't help but remind myself that the Dolphins and the

1027
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: Raiders both have coaches who are brand new. They're starting

1028
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: programs in those two respective clubs, and I know history

1029
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: more often than not doesn't result in playoff berths for

1030
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: first year head coaches. There are certainly exceptions. Do you

1031
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: feel that either of those two teams, and I know

1032
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: we're doing the speculation game here, but that's what we do,

1033
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: have a better chance because one team crawled into the

1034
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: playoffs at the end in the Raiders last year, as

1035
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: we know, with an interim coach, and the Dolphins missed

1036
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: narrowly but missed. Do either of those teams you think

1037
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: have a good shot at a playoff berth in a

1038
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: stacked AFC with new coaches. Yeah, first of all, But

1039
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: disclaimer here is that the AFC is so loaded that

1040
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: the race for those wild card spots is going to

1041
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: be nuts. But I do think these two teams have

1042
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: a good chance at them. Let's take them separately. First

1043
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: of all, the Miami Dolphins team pretty close last year

1044
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: with a defensive minded coach in Brian Forest who did

1045
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: not have a ton of confidence in Tuah the quarterback.

1046
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: This new head coach is an offensive minded coach. He's

1047
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: an offensive group, and he seems to believe in Tuah

1048
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: and they have put pieces around to another example of

1049
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: a team that needed to improve what was around him.

1050
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: And frankly, even before the Tyree hiltrade. Now that the

1051
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: blockbuster of the off season, but they had already done

1052
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: a lot to help to it. They had signed toront

1053
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: arm Stet as a left tackle that was a badly

1054
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: needed position. They got Cedric Wilson the receiver, and then

1055
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,439
Speaker 1: they got Tyreek Hill. They had loaded up on running backs.

1056
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: So they've done a whole lot for Tua. And this

1057
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: is another quarterback who we have to see if he

1058
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: can make the leap. But I do think they are

1059
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: in pretty good position. They were not that far out

1060
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: last year under what were less than ideal circumstances, and

1061
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: I do think they have improved the circumstances for Tua.

1062
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: As for the Raiders, I mean they are in such

1063
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: a brutal division. Look, I think Josh McDaniels is a

1064
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: tremendous offensive coach, and I certainly think he's going to

1065
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: help Derek Carr. And certainly I think Damante Adams, you know,

1066
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: his college buddy. They were incredibly productive in college together.

1067
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: I suspect they will be incredibly productive. Now it will

1068
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: certainly help take some of the pressure off Darren Waller two.

1069
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: So I think they are going to be improved. But

1070
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean that division is every game is just going

1071
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: to be must CTV, so that may catch the Raiders.

1072
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: But I do think that these two teams will be

1073
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: improved because I think they've both gone all in on

1074
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: supporting their quarterbacks. One of the other teams you mentioned

1075
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: as well, number four on the lists, Arizona Cardinals, and

1076
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: most of the Arizona Cardinal's offseason has been had to

1077
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: do with Kyler Murray scrubbing his social media accounts of

1078
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: their of their likeness. How do you think Kyler Murray's

1079
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: season or outlook will change with what they've done, because

1080
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: certainly the expectations are much higher with Kyler Murray than

1081
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: they are with Zach Wilson and tutangua Iloa. Well, actually, look,

1082
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: the good news is he appears to be ready to

1083
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: go for many camp. He's shown up and he was

1084
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: at Otah, So whatever was going on there between him

1085
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: and the club when he scupt to social media feed,

1086
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: maybe that has schooled awful little one and that's good. News. Um,

1087
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: they haven't given him what he really wants yet, which

1088
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: is the new contract. But you know, I think you know,

1089
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: given him Hollywood Brown is a pretty nice consolation prize. Um.

1090
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: You know, they had wanted to play together. That's a big,

1091
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: big play weapon, um. And you know, and and a

1092
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: guy who can be really productive for them, and certainly

1093
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: with you know, with the absence of DeAndre Hopkins while

1094
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: he is suspended, that is going to be a key

1095
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: piece there. Um. You know, I suspect that the Arizona

1096
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals and Kyler Murray will come to some sort of

1097
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: agreement for nothing. He've got a new contract, but I

1098
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: don't come to some sort of meeting of the minds.

1099
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: The fact that he has shown up for Mini campum,

1100
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, certainly helps him. But sure, right, there's much

1101
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: higher expectations for the Arizona Cardinals than there are, um,

1102
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, and for Kyler Murray than there are for

1103
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 1: either of those other few teams that we've just discussed. Um.

1104
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: But again, they're you know, they're in a very tough division, right,

1105
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the defending champions are in their division, so

1106
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: they've and you know, the San Francisco forty nine ers

1107
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: are in their division, so you know they've got an

1108
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: uphill climb too. Talking with NFL Networks Judy Batista, last

1109
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: one I've got for you, Judy is, you know, back

1110
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: to your eight storylines, you did wedge the Bills in there.

1111
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: We appreciate that, you know, you said, you said, um,

1112
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: you titled it the Arrival of the Buffalo Bills, And

1113
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: I found it interesting because here's the thing, like a

1114
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,479
Speaker 1: lot of people felt like that was probably the team

1115
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: playing the best football at the end of the season,

1116
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: and you know, things just went awry at the final

1117
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: of their divisional playoff against the Chiefs, which we're not

1118
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: going to rehash here still still too soon. But the

1119
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: grand scheme of it, at least as I see it, is,

1120
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: I think you can make the argument that as good

1121
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: as that team was playing last year on paper, this

1122
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: year they might be even better than they were last season.

1123
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: And that was a team that had a top three

1124
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: a top three offense and the best defense in football.

1125
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Is it po abole to even say that they're better? Yes,

1126
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I think it is. I mean we have to see

1127
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: it on the field, but I think they're an improved roster. Look,

1128
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they're the super Bowl favorite right now. I

1129
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question. I think if you run

1130
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: around the league, people would would point to them. I

1131
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think they were playing the best

1132
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: football right up until until they lost the game. But

1133
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: they have addressed what they needed to address, you know,

1134
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean von Miller, right, we don't need to see

1135
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: von Miller on every down. We just need to see

1136
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: them in those key third down situations when they got

1137
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: to get after the quarterback, which is what undid them

1138
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. So if you get

1139
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: those kinds of plays from von Miller, you don't need

1140
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: a ton of them. You just need a handful of

1141
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: them at the critical moments that may be enough to

1142
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: put you over the top. And then I think, you know,

1143
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: they they they've surrounded Josh Allen with even more talent.

1144
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: I love the Jamison Crowder, you know, acquisition. I like

1145
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: oj I think they you know, I think they've done

1146
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: a lot to help and and that's all good. I mean,

1147
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: obviously it's all about Josh Allen, but he is the

1148
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: least of my concerns, right, I mean, he is as

1149
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: as much fun to watch as a quarterback as there

1150
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: is in the league. And I'm very excited to watch

1151
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,439
Speaker 1: this team this year because I do think they're better

1152
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: and you know, I expect very very big things from them. Yeah,

1153
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: since we're talking about the AFC East, we should give

1154
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: due diligence and equal time to the the other opponent.

1155
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: I have no bills in New England Patriots. Um, you said,

1156
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: you said, you're you've You've said it quite rightly. People

1157
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 1: are kind of withholding judgment on the Patriots. Think one

1158
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 1: of the reasons we all do that still is the

1159
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: fact that you know, for the longest time, they've looked

1160
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: like this before quite frankly, they've looked like they've got,

1161
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of Division two athletes trying to

1162
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, step up, and then all of a sudden

1163
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: they end up winning the Super Bowl with those guys. Right,

1164
01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: So we we're kind of we're not going to throw

1165
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,959
Speaker 1: heard on him just yet. But man o, man, it's

1166
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: hard to be optimistic and strange. Yeah, yeah, I look,

1167
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 1: I think that is some pieces that might help the

1168
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 1: receiving core, which which they needed to do. But you know,

1169
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we really don't know who's in charge of

1170
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: mac Jones's development, Like who's calling the place the fact that, um,

1171
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,919
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's Matt Patricia, maybe it's Joe Judge,

1172
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: maybe it ends up being somebody else on the coaching staff.

1173
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Right now, we don't know. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

1174
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: We just don't know the answer. I'll tell you this.

1175
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: I was discussing this with a friend of mine who

1176
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: is a football fan and those you know the game

1177
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: pretty well, and he said like, well, it'll probably work

1178
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: out because it's the Patriot, and I think that's sort

1179
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: of the default position we all have, like, well, this

1180
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: can't really be a b actor because you know the

1181
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: ultimately Bill Belichick is still in the room. But it

1182
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 1: is puzzling and I don't think we're going to know

1183
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: and until we see it on the field. You know,

1184
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, I think exceeded expectations last year, There's no

1185
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: question about it. But losing Joshua Daniels is not a

1186
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: small loss. You know, that is a big coaching loss,

1187
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: and you know who picks it up and to turn

1188
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: his development and the offense over to people who do

1189
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: not have experience doing that is a real role of

1190
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: the nights for the Patriots. Maybe it works, possibly it works,

1191
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: but we have to see that on the field. Yeah, Judy,

1192
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: thanks for the time as always, enjoy your summer. Will

1193
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: be sure to catch up a year around training camp time.

1194
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,479
Speaker 1: Looking forward to it. Take care, guys. All right, Judy

1195
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: Batista joining us here on One Bill's Live NFL network

1196
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,479
Speaker 1: writer and reporter has done it for a long time

1197
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: and you want to get plugged into the league at large.

1198
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: That's what we do. We call Judy reader stuff. Yeah,

1199
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: she's on it. So I don't know about you, Steve,

1200
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: but you know we've talked about it. The Bills to

1201
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: us seem like a stronger team, you know, in terms

1202
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: of how their roster is currently constituted. Obviously, some things

1203
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: have to play out. Kye Elam has to really push

1204
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson for a starting job and the Cream rises

1205
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: to the top there. Jadevious White has to return to form.

1206
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: James Cook has to put a shot in the arm

1207
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: to the offense. Oj Howard has to make some contributions.

1208
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder has to be his usual fifty catch a

1209
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: season self. Those don't seem like gigantic asks, you know,

1210
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: and Ron Miller has to come up with the money

1211
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: sack on the money down exactly. We've gone into and

1212
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: teams around the league go into seasons with bigger questions,

1213
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: and every team's got questions just like these questions you're

1214
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: just putting forth for the Bills. There are things we

1215
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 1: don't know about them yet, about you know, Ken Dorsey,

1216
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: Matt Smiley, all of that stuff. You know, Aaron Kromer.

1217
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that have to come into play.

1218
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 1: But the thing that makes the questions that the Bills

1219
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: have different than team than questions other teams have is

1220
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,640
Speaker 1: the fact that the answers that we're waiting on are

1221
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: come from people who have given those answers before. And

1222
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: that's why you have every reason to believe Jameson Crowder

1223
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: that you know, he's not gonna be He's not gonna

1224
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: be a different player than he was with the New

1225
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: York Jets. We don't even have to have him take

1226
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: this huge leap forward. Just be that guy, because when

1227
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 1: I watched him play a ton against this team, he's

1228
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: a tough match up. Yeah, and you look at the

1229
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: guy that had last year, Cole Beasley, who played very

1230
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: well for this franchise. Jamison Crowder has a lot more

1231
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: physical gifts. Beasley's gotta feel he's gonna get open. But

1232
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder brings something to the table that both Emmanuel

1233
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: Sanders and Cole Beasley lacked, physical gifts and a little

1234
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: bit of youth, and he brings you both those things

1235
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: that are now gone from this roster from a year ago.

1236
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, I don't think it's any question. Most people

1237
01:09:55,680 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: are like perfectly fine with Gabe Davis take being the

1238
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: number two guy. Now. He earned it that last game,

1239
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: the way he played in the season, the way he's

1240
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: played every year of his career up till now, not

1241
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty twenty one. He has done nothing but get better.

1242
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 1: So it's been fun to watch him take his place

1243
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: in the roster, and now people are ready for him

1244
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: to have a bigger role. All of that stuff in

1245
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: the mix, all those things offensively, James Cook is the

1246
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: perfect skill set for what the Bills seemed to have

1247
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 1: been missing before Secret Haven. The list O J. Howard,

1248
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: an enormously physically gifted player to go along with Dawson Knox.

1249
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: You know, you just go down the list. All these

1250
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: question marks that happened, all these changes that have happened

1251
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills are coming to a team that

1252
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: has answered those questions. I mean even even last year.

1253
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: We said it after they got put out of the

1254
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: championship game in Kansas City two years ago. They had

1255
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: a lot of roster turnal were coming into twenty twenty one.

1256
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: Last year, We're like, well, we'll see there's some changes

1257
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:05,600
Speaker 1: here that you don't really like to see from a

1258
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: team that went to the SC championship. Man, those changes

1259
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 1: were great. You know, the change has really helped if

1260
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 1: they can. So the team even has has has a

1261
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: history of answering these and filling these question marks in

1262
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:23,799
Speaker 1: their roster really well. So you know, the Bills deserved

1263
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 1: the expectations. They've got. The players they brought in give

1264
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 1: you every reason to be optimistic, like optimistic, but even

1265
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: more optimistic than we should have been had it been

1266
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:38,760
Speaker 1: the same cast of characters coming back. Yeah. So yeah,

1267
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: Judy Petista is right. Every team's gonna be a little different. Certainly,

1268
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Dolphins, and the Patriots are gonna have

1269
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,600
Speaker 1: a reason to be optimistic in their own camps and

1270
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:48,560
Speaker 1: what they're gonna look like. But I'll tell you this,

1271
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: right now, they're still chasing the team in Orchard Park,

1272
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: and right now and at certain times in the past

1273
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: year or two that that team, in this team in

1274
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: Orchard Park has been a dot on their horizon. They've

1275
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,600
Speaker 1: been so far away. I mean, you look at you

1276
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: think that the New England Patriots are looking at Orchard

1277
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: Parks saying, Okay, now we got their number, We're gonna

1278
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 1: The last time these two teams played, it was an

1279
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: absolute trip to the woodshed for those guys the last

1280
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 1: two times, an absolute, absolute embarrassment. It was a clinic.

1281
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: It was a clinic. And do they really feel like

1282
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna walk in here this year because Mac Jones

1283
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 1: has gotten a couple extra training training camp under his belt.

1284
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,680
Speaker 1: You know, I have a hard time. I really think

1285
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: that's the most overlooked thing about the Patriots, And Judy

1286
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: Batista brought it up. No, Josh McDaniels, and the guy

1287
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: you're going to replace him with is either Matt Patricia,

1288
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: who's made his living on the defensive side of the ball.

1289
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: I know at the beginning of his career he was

1290
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball for a brief time,

1291
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 1: then went over and made his hay in this league

1292
01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. And Joe Judge,

1293
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 1: who has been a special teams coach and a head coach.

1294
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: I know, but his career is rooted in special team.

1295
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: So that's what you're going with. One of those two

1296
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: guys to call plays for a second year quarterback. They're

1297
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 1: they're now, listen, they're very experienced, and Joe Judge and

1298
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia have been at a higher level. Coming back

1299
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 1: to the offensive side, They've always they've had to have

1300
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 1: their hands in the offensive room on both sides because

1301
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: it's their head coach. Okay, but I get it. Josh

1302
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 1: McDaniels was a fixture. Well, and now I'll and I'll

1303
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:32,560
Speaker 1: just put it to you this way, who would you

1304
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: rather have if you're a second year quarterback? Would you

1305
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: rather have Matt Patricia and or Joe Judge Or would

1306
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: you rather have Ken Dorsey? You know what I'm saying. Yeah,

1307
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: I get it. I don't know. I don't know. Give

1308
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 1: me somebody that's got some kind of quarterback pedigree, like

1309
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. What are you doing. You've jumped the shark here, buddy,

1310
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you've almost cut I am this good I

1311
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 1: am at coaching football. Well, there's plug anybody in over

1312
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 1: there to help mac Jones and his second year as

1313
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Well, I mean, holy cow, are you're putting

1314
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: a lot of trust and the guys. One guy you

1315
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't even put on your staff last year and he's

1316
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 1: worked with you before. Well, you had Matt Patricia as

1317
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 1: an advisor upstairs. You wouldn't even put him back on

1318
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: your staff. Now he's gonna call plays on offense, Brownie.

1319
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 1: The reason they did that is because he's still making

1320
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,679
Speaker 1: money from the Detroit Line. He's making five million bucks

1321
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 1: a year as your you know, your water boy. If

1322
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 1: you can put him on, it doesn't matter. You don't

1323
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: have to pay him. You come back and you give

1324
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: him a title to let him work and you don't

1325
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: even have to pay the guy. Yeah right, okay, And

1326
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: you know what he's doing. I mean Belichick seventy so

1327
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: you know what he's saying. He say, Listen, you're gonna

1328
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: be in a short list of guys who have a

1329
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: chance to take over this spot when I'm done. So

1330
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: if you want to come back, get back in the

1331
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 1: building and start working towards it now as your chance.

1332
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 1: So he comes back and does it for literally, he

1333
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: may not. They're not even paying the guy Are we

1334
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 1: thinking now you're now you're getting me into an area

1335
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was gonna be going. Are we

1336
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: really thinking that when Belichick is done, that Robert Kraft

1337
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: is gonna go with Matt Patricia or Joe Judge, two

1338
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: guys that flamed out in Detroit and New York. I

1339
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: can't see that as Bob Kraft material. Just remind you

1340
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 1: that he when he got the team, he took a

1341
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 1: chance and I got it flamed out in Cleveland, right,

1342
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, I get it. So it's a valid point.

1343
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, he'll and and I think by that time

1344
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft will have Yeah, Robert Kraft will have more

1345
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: realistic expectations because his team will be I think, all

1346
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the road club. Also, he's gonna give

1347
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 1: Bill the chance to pick his guy. It's all right, Bill,

1348
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: you did it. Who do you want it? Who? Who's

1349
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 1: your next guy? Now? Bill might pick his kid. Oh

1350
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 1: dear lord, you know um, But I think that's part

1351
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: of the thing, you know, maybe Robert Craft, because Robert

1352
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Kraft is you know, one of those kind of relationship.

1353
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: He's like a guy like that. He will take care

1354
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: of this people like he always had but he may

1355
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 1: give Bill the benefit of the or the the ability

1356
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 1: to pick his successor. It's fun to talk about the

1357
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: Patriots this way. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Yeah, you

1358
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:20,560
Speaker 1: have to take a break here though, unfortunately, so we

1359
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 1: will step aside here when we come back. More of

1360
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the tweet sheet, and if we have

1361
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: some time, a little NFL true false. That's all coming

1362
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: up next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Collot

1363
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 1: of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, final half

1364
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 1: hour of the program here on Monday. Chris Brown, Steve

1365
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Tasker with you, heading back to the tweet sheet where

1366
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: we were asking you today When Mandatory Minicamp begins tomorrow

1367
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: here in One Bill's Drive, what do you want to

1368
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: hear about from day one? We already know that it's

1369
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: been reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter that Jordan Porter will

1370
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: be in attendance. So that's one is off the table,

1371
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 1: So give us something else that would be music to

1372
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: your ears from day one of mandatory Minicamp. And Seth

1373
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, I want to hear about

1374
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 1: the top two picks Elam and Cook should both be

1375
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: major contributors this season, hoping to hear more about their

1376
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: potential utilization. Also interested to hear about the kinds of

1377
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: sets formations Dorsey is using in the early stages. Well,

1378
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: that unfortunately is something we cannot report on that is

1379
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: prohibited from being publicized so that we can bring to

1380
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 1: you as much as we would like with training camp

1381
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: open though there is a good chance you'll be getting

1382
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: information on that come late July early August, although that's

1383
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 1: to be determined. But yes, Elam and Cook are going

1384
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 1: to be two interesting additions to this roster offensively and

1385
01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: defensively respectively. How much they're asked to contribute I think

1386
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:02,719
Speaker 1: is going to be even more interesting, and it's gonna

1387
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: be predicated on how how quick they are on the uptick. Absolutely,

1388
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: certainly we've seen their skill set and we've you know,

1389
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 1: you can even go back and look at their college highlights.

1390
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 1: That's the reason they got draft was their skill set. Elam,

1391
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:17,680
Speaker 1: I think is is really gonna push to be the guy.

1392
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 1: If I'm not saying I'm not, I don't want to

1393
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 1: throw Dane Jackson under the bus because that guy can play,

1394
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: and it's certainly give him. Yeah, and you had the

1395
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: man crush on him all last off you still do. So,

1396
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,680
Speaker 1: I here's the thing. If Tdavious White isn't ready, I

1397
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:35,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if it's Dane Jackson kier Elam to

1398
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: start the season and and I'm let's go. I'm and

1399
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: Taron Johnson, right, and Taron Johnson just let's go. I'm

1400
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Um, I'm okay, particularly with this roster.

1401
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: I think they're just they'll be fine. Um Trays is

1402
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 1: a phenomenal player. And even if he comes back placed

1403
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 1: through all the training camp, goes through the preseason, all

1404
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 1: that stuff, You're still gonna start the season thinking, Man,

1405
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: I hope he haild hold up, Yeah, that kind of thing.

1406
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: But um, their depth is gonna be a real asset

1407
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: to them in the secondary. So yeah, Tyer Elam, I

1408
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: think is gonna be an absolutely plug and play type

1409
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: of player from the word go and cook He's the

1410
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: guy I got the man crush on this offseason. That's

1411
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 1: the guy that that I coveted in the draft. You're

1412
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: not alone, and I just I see him being as

1413
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: good or the same type of player as Alvin Camari

1414
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: is for the New Orleans Saints. And if Ken Dorsey

1415
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,480
Speaker 1: has that toy or that tool in his in his toolbox,

1416
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: this offense all of a sudden is yeah, it's it's

1417
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: pretty much unstoppable. You know. I just think it's gonna

1418
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 1: be that good. Yeah, they'll have more answers there. It's

1419
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,639
Speaker 1: just a question of and And here's the thing. It's

1420
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: gonna be like as soon as they want to play one,

1421
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, last year, it's like, okay, what can we do?

1422
01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: All right, well we'll put this guy on the field,

1423
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 1: that guy on the field, and we'll see what it

1424
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like we're gonna put our guys out there,

1425
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 1: and by watching film, we're gonna know the matchup you're

1426
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 1: gonna give us, and we're gonna know exactly what you

1427
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: guy we're gonna throw it to, and we know what

1428
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna adjust to, and we know what we're gonna

1429
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: do in that. You know. And I think there's gonna

1430
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: be less experimentation if you get a guy like Cook

1431
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: out there. Um, I think they're just gonna say, Okay,

1432
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: here we go. That's what they're gonna do. Here we go,

1433
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: let's go, and they're just gonna plinkety plink plink, boom

1434
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 1: down the field. Plinketty plink plank boom down the field.

1435
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 1: I like that, and and it's they're gonna be impossible

1436
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 1: to stop. Might have to pattent that's or a copyright that,

1437
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 1: Steve plinketty plink plink boom down. You like that, Bull

1438
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:47,559
Speaker 1: Cadence plinkty plink plink. See here's the Pinks being on radio,

1439
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 1: and my white boards right here, I'm gonna write plinkety

1440
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: plink plink playing plink down the field, boom, don't forget

1441
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: boom plank plank, plink plank plank. Yeah, okay, all right,

1442
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 1: you work on that. I'll get to the next comment

1443
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:04,800
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. Faith says, I truthfully like to

1444
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: hear a j Poe extension seems fitting since he'll reportedly

1445
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: be in for Camp I as as much as I

1446
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: think we'd all like to hear that, because that would

1447
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 1: mean any issue that Jordan Porr would have in playing

1448
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 1: this year for the Bills would be out the window

1449
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 1: if there's a new deal. I don't know how optimistic

1450
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: I would be that it gets done this week. No,

1451
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't either, but I here's the thing. You're right.

1452
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: If it's gonna get done, it's gonna get done after

1453
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 1: preseason game number three before that. Well, I mean, let's

1454
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:42,640
Speaker 1: because that's why they do it. Let's think about the

1455
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 1: history of Brandon being getting stuff done. Veterans on this

1456
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: roster typically get stuff done in August. That's when they

1457
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: usually get things accomplished. And you know who else right

1458
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: now would be on that list. I suppose if you

1459
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 1: want to be roactive with Dawson Knox, maybe that's one

1460
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: that could get done. Um, because typically the guys that

1461
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: get signed in August by this team are players usually

1462
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:18,839
Speaker 1: with a year left on their contract. Tradevious White, Dion Dawkins,

1463
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, run down the list, und Jermaine Emmonds, I

1464
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: guess could be a candidate set to play under the

1465
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 1: fifth year option. And Oliver although he's got another year

1466
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: next year, so maybe that he's more for the twenty

1467
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 1: twenty three August twenty twenty three instead of August twenty

1468
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: twenty two. Um, yeah, I don't know, I think that's

1469
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: going to happen. Or if Poyer gets an don't you

1470
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 1: think it's kind of this mentality Brownie? If they do Poyer,

1471
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: that is the final gear that needs to be shifted

1472
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: to head into the regular season. You know what I mean,

1473
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 1: that'll be like, Okay, then there's like there's absolutely no breaks.

1474
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 1: It's all gas, no breaks for this crew. Here they go.

1475
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: Then it'll all be about just getting to the season

1476
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: healthy and getting on with it. That is really the

1477
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 1: final cog in this wheel, right. Maybe Travis White, we'll

1478
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 1: be waiting on trade to see how he does in

1479
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: training camp, but we'll find out early in training camp

1480
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: what his timeline's going to be. Yeah, and then that'll

1481
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,600
Speaker 1: be answered. Wesley on the tweet sheet says, what do

1482
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: we expect the punters to be working on in mini camp?

1483
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 1: How do offseason workouts impact them? Wow, they're just like

1484
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: any other player, They're just doing their job. We were

1485
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:45,560
Speaker 1: privy to some punt periods last week or maybe it

1486
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:49,440
Speaker 1: was no, it was the week prior between Matt Ariza

1487
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: and Matt Hock, and I know everybody's kind of hung

1488
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: up on the holds, which will be a part of

1489
01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: this competition, no question, But you know, punt performance and

1490
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 1: being able to flip the field with a measure of

1491
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 1: consistency that Special Teams coach Matthew Smiley as well as

1492
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott expects, is going to be of

1493
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: paramount importance, particularly when it comes to the preseason games.

1494
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 1: You think about it, what they'll be, what they work

1495
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 1: on is all all different kinds of punts they could

1496
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: possibly hit, the direction of the punts, the distance of

1497
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: the punts, the time puntings, hang time high and short,

1498
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: low and long as ausey style to both side, both

1499
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 1: corners of the end zone, right and left direction inside

1500
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, high hang time inside the numbers, outside the numbers.

1501
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: They'll be working on catching snaps. They'll be working on

1502
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 1: the consistency of the drop that they put. You know,

1503
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,640
Speaker 1: the ball comes out of their hands. Do you know

1504
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: what other factor that we really haven't discussed this with

1505
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 1: respect to the punting competition, that I think is part

1506
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: of it, because if matter rises versatility. I mean, that

1507
01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 1: kid's an athlete right in every sense of the word.

1508
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: As we know, he has been a field goal kicker.

1509
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 1: He primarily was a field goal kicker going into San

1510
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 1: Diego State, and then because of his athleticism and prow

1511
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 1: is punting the football, he was seeing more as a

1512
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 1: punting prospect at the NFL level than a police kicking prospect.

1513
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 1: But what about this, Steve, What if Matt Ariza can

1514
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 1: do kickoffs too because he has done it right they

1515
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: how much of a leg up would that give him? If?

1516
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if Matt Hawk is slightly better in the

1517
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 1: punting category but Ariza brings other stuff, does it weigh

1518
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: in at all? Or no? A little? But you already

1519
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 1: got a guy that I know, so some like you know,

1520
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 1: if if Bass tweaks a hammy or quad or something,

1521
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: he can kick field goals that week. But they didn't

1522
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: want to go hard for you know, okay, um, yeah,

1523
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 1: that's a small thing on this roster because a bass, right,

1524
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: but there are other es. Yeah, yeah, so it's not

1525
01:25:57,200 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: so much here. I think the problem is. I think

1526
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: the real thing is how much work is Ariza giving

1527
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: himself on one knee, catching some short snaps and getting

1528
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: the ball down for his kicker. Yeah, that's something he's

1529
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: got to work on. It should perfect. And if I'm him,

1530
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm doing one hundred and fifty of those a day,

1531
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:22,799
Speaker 1: just every day, just like clock, just part of your routine.

1532
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: Just take him and get them down, even if you

1533
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 1: got to set up a jugs machine. Yeah, oh yeah.

1534
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 1: And that's what they do. They set up a jug machine,

1535
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: just keep pumping them through. You put it down on

1536
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 1: one finger. Once you do, you take it through that

1537
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 1: one away and get the next one. They need to

1538
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: work on it and just to get words second nature.

1539
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: So that's what I would if I'm Matt Ariza. That's

1540
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: the thing I work on. But you're right, all the

1541
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:43,840
Speaker 1: other stuff gives him a leg up. Break time for us.

1542
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 1: Steve and I will close things up next year on

1543
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 1: one Bills Live, presented by a Collided Health. It's Buffalo
