11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: do more than our share of weather complaining, so it's

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: about time. We have to always mention it. Because we

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: have the outdoor cameras that open the show to get

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,920

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: It was weird. I had to go downtown this morning

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: for an event at I had to be there at eight,

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: and uh, even when I came out at nine, the

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: fog was amazing. I mean it was really fogging by

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: the lake. As soon as you hit the lake, it

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: was really foggy, like almost poor visibility. Five right downtown

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: right downtown and even coming up the one nine in downtown.

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah, I assume it's burned off by now.

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: But what a day. It was foggy last night. Yeah,

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's what a day. What a day. We're

26

Speaker 1: happy to be here, happy to get we get you

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: through the next three hours. Yeah. Steve said, if we

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: talk fast, he just said this. I mean, if we

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: talk faster, can we get out of here quicker today?

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Man. We're here at the three

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: and we'll hope you guys stick with us too. So

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: we got some stuff to do in this show. It's

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. What do we got? We have one

34
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: of the all time great Twitter polls of all time.

35
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: If only you had been in the office about an

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: hour ago when Steve was listening dismantling. I had to

37
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: put my foot down and massage this one to no end.

38
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: But it paid its dividends. I missed that this was

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: not my original. Well maybe it was kind of my original.

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: Whose original idea was it? I believe I was in

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: this morning and said we got to do something with

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: Josh playing off Carson wentz Carson. That got us roll

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: and then we went through and I brought it into

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: the to the young people in the hip people in

45
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: the control room. Wh's always important which and we got

46
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: there in but they were I walked in, they were

47
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: already huddled up trying to think of one that's good.

48
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: Massage it a little further and then we went came

49
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: back and we sat. Then it's always about what are

50
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 1: the choices we're gonna offer for the Twitter poll? You know? Yeah,

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: and it is around. It is centered. If you haven't

52
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: heard Carson Wentz, the twenty sixteen number two overall pick

53
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: or the Philadelphia Eagles, who had an MVP year caliber

54
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: year and his second year before going down with a

55
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: knee injury. Okay, so it's time for him to get

56
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: an extension. So yesterday he signs one hundred and twenty

57
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: eight million dollar, four year extension with one hundred and

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: seven point nine million dollars guaranteed sixty six or sixty

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: five million guaranteed at signing. He gets a check for

60
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: that when he signs it. He signed it. He had

61
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: hasn't finished a season yet as the starting quarterback of

62
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles, but he just signed one hundred what's a

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: max deal worth? It could be worth one hundred and

64
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: forty four million if he meets incentives. And he just

65
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: signed it yesterday. So if you haven't heard, the Bills

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: have a guy going in his second year playing quarterback.

67
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: We thought, okay, let's draw some parallels. What's the career

68
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: look like? Right? Yeah, he's two years away. Right. We

69
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: determined that Josh no way he gets a contract not

70
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: after this year, but after the following year, because you

71
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: got to have what the three years in before Lake

72
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: wentz before you get the extension, and who knows what

73
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: the numbers are going to be. I mean, Russell Wilson

74
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of set the market earlier this spring, back in

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: April he got a four year deal worth one forty

76
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: one hundred seven million dollars guaranteed. But in two years

77
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: versus where you'd be with Josh right when he was

78
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: up for an extension. Yeah, those numbers are going to

79
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: be ridiculous because the cap goes up. But it got

80
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: us thinking not about what the numbers might be, right gottas,

81
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: thinking about does Josh get that second contract? As you know,

82
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: the second contract not just for quarterbacks. The second contract

83
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: is the key for all of these NFL players. Josh

84
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: working on his eminently affordable rookie deal right now, but

85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: two years from now, if he is progressed, um, he

86
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 1: would be in line to make it pretty good money.

87
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: And this isn't now, This isn't so much about It

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: is about Josh and about the hopes and dreams of Bills,

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: fans everywhere, and all of that stuff that we envisioned

90
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: in our minds eye. But it's also about what do

91
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: you think, you know, what do you want it to

92
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: look like? It's also about how you envision it happening,

93
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, getting your mind around the team that you've

94
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: come to know over this last you know, twelve fourteen

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: months with Josh Allen at the helmet quarterback, and you

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: look around the league and how it works with Jared

97
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: goff Out in LA, how it happened for him. He

98
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: had a terrible he was a bust his first year,

99
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: then he turned the corner. Carson went the same thing,

100
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: MVP type season. Pat Mahomes second year is sitting on

101
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: the bench. First year, second year comes in, he's the

102
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: MVP year away from his year and he's a year

103
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: away from his extension. So got this stuff going on,

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: and what's it gonna look like if all of that

105
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: happens and transpires in Buffalo, and it's it's a lot.

106
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: It's about Josh Allen, no question about it, but it's

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: also you know, it's a consummate team sport, and there's

108
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: a million moving parts and which of those parts moves

109
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: the best to help Josh Allen get to a place

110
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: where Russell Wilson, Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Pat Mahomes are

111
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: headed you know. So that's how we get to Today's

112
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good, really competitive Twitter poll. No, seriously, it's

113
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: amazing how close it is, which is why Steves Last

114
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: sound to it as his and claimed ownership because the

115
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: night listen, I am taking ownership with this. Which part

116
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: of this I was totally I was off the wall. No,

117
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: I didn't small, I was. I was more like a

118
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: catalyst more than a main ingredient. But I believe me

119
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: the choices you guys are gonna come up with. Come on,

120
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: I know that I made a difference in this Twitter poll,

121
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: even though it was a small difference. Carson Wentz here's

122
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. Carson Wentz just got a record setting contract.

123
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: What and who would be the biggest factors in getting

124
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen a second contract with the Buffalo Bills. In

125
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: other words, what's it going to look like the next

126
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: two years if Josh gets to that stage where the

127
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Bills are ready to present him with a record setting contract,

128
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: which if they're gonna keep and they're gonna have to

129
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: in a couple of years, what would be the biggest

130
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: factor in getting that done? You can call us up

131
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty toll free one eight

132
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. You can tweet

133
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: in a response. We might read it on the tweet sheet.

134
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: You can vote in the Twitter pole, and the Twitter

135
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: pole looks like this. Carson Wentz his record sending contract overnight.

136
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: What or who would be the biggest factor in getting

137
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen the second contract with the Bills. Do you

138
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: think coaching? Twenty four percent of you say yes, it

139
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: is coaching. Do you think offensive weapons twenty eight percent

140
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: of you think the offensive weapons around him will have

141
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: the most to do with Josh Allen getting a potential

142
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: second contract. What about offensive line? Twenty five percent of

143
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: you think offensive line will have the most to do

144
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: with Josh ellen second contract. Is there something else we're

145
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: not thinking of? Some people are saying, well, yeah, Johnny,

146
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: it's Josh. Okay, well we get that. Talking about the

147
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: factors outside of Josh Allen, which would be the biggest

148
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: factors in him getting his second contract. It's as close

149
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: as it ever gets in the early going here in

150
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll, we've only got two hundred votes in,

151
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: but that's as close as it gets. That's why Steve

152
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: wants to glima like Ian Vnet. Oh, listen, this is

153
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: I would have I'm telling you you should have said

154
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: who will help Josh Allen getting his second contract? Then

155
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have been Josh Allen at the bottom with

156
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: all the other votes. But this is good. The twenty

157
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: three percent of you who said other, almost ninety percent

158
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: of you people said it's Josh. I get it. If

159
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: you leave Josh out of it, still, it's pretty even coaching.

160
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: There's no question we've all seen the difference that Sean

161
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: McDermott and his crew have made with this team. The

162
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: team building, the culture, the attitude. Everything is on the

163
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: upswing and every you know, it's a it's it's a now.

164
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: As we've seen players coming in Cole Beasley, John Brown,

165
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy, all these guys who have been signed Star

166
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Lutu Lela. All these guys who have come in here

167
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: have said, Wow, this is a kind of place you

168
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: want to play. The new facilities, this is all and

169
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: it's all an offshoot of Brandon Bean Sean McDermott selling

170
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: the Pagoulas on dumping more money into a facility that

171
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: draws guys in, that takes care of their guys, that

172
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: gets him on the field, keeps them healthy, gets them

173
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: to be more professional. It all plays into it. The

174
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: coaching is gonna be huge for this group. We've always

175
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: seen that. Then you go down and it's the offensive.

176
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: What Josh, you got to throw it to somebody. We

177
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: saw last year Robert Foster, undrafted rookie free agent, comes

178
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: into second half of the year. He's the guy. You know,

179
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: he's the catalyst. But you need more of those guys.

180
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: And they went out and got him, and of course

181
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line in front of him. Good grief. That's

182
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: been topic one for eight months in this building. And

183
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a parallel, Oh yeah, Carson went

184
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: gets a big deal. Obviously he well did he earn

185
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: that big deal? We can talk about that too, especially

186
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: with his injury history. But he didn't do it by himself, right.

187
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: He had people around him. He had Nelson Aguilar, he

188
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: had Zach Hurts, zach ertz Alshon, Jeffrey, pretty good running

189
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: backs down there, a pretty good offensive line, including Jason Peters.

190
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: And that's the way we think you should look about

191
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: at this question. Who or what would be the biggest

192
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: factor in getting Josh Allen a second contract with the

193
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Yes, it is two years away, don't have

194
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: to worry about it now, but what happens this year

195
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: will impact the Bill's willingness to reward him with a

196
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: big contract. And as we started to dig into this topic,

197
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: a couple of things surfaced when you start looking at

198
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and some of the things that happened the

199
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: two sixteen draft. Was listening to a podcast. We've got

200
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Howard Eskin coming on the show later, Philly Sideline reporter,

201
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: Who's seen all these snaps that Carson Wentz has taken

202
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: and all the snaps he hasn't taken during his time.

203
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: They're one of the things that happened to the Philadelphia

204
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: Eagles that got them on that trajectory of with an

205
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: MVP quarterback and a team that's headed to the Super

206
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Bowl and getting back to the playoffs after they won

207
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: a super Bowl two years you know all that stuff.

208
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: One of the things that happened to them was they

209
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: hit on a bunch of draft picks in twenty sixteen.

210
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: They got a lot of guys that made their squad

211
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: and contributed. Now, some of those guys may not be

212
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: on the team this year, in twenty nineteen, three years later,

213
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: but in sixteen, seventeen eighteen, they kind of had a

214
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: hand to play in the success of the team. Uh,

215
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: you know, get down into the deep rounds they went.

216
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: They drafted number they drafted number two overall. Then they

217
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: didn't pick until the fourth round or nice on fourth

218
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: third round, deep in the third round where there was

219
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: like seventy seven guys between their first pick and their

220
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: second pick. But they hit on a number of guys

221
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: in that draft that turned out to be good. Who yeah, well,

222
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that they got a starting left guard

223
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: out of that in the third round. They got a

224
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: running back in the fifth round. Who's playing. You look

225
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: at the Bills and what they did in the last

226
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: years or two years ago. They got Tradavious White, they

227
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: got Dion Dawkins, they got Matt Milano, They got some

228
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: guys who are contributing. Matt Milano, a fifth rounder who's

229
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: a starting linebacker for him. That's the kind of draft.

230
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: You got to hit on some guys in late rounds.

231
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: And what it does is it gives you great starting

232
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: caliber players, or maybe not even great, just starting caliber

233
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 1: players on the cheap, and then you can bolster your right.

234
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: Then it gives you the money. It gives you the

235
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: ability to go out and get guys like Trent Murphy,

236
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: star Loo two lay these nuts and bolts kind of

237
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: guys who are solid quality veterans who can give you

238
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: some things off the field and in the meeting rooms

239
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: and some experience that helped those young guys play even

240
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: better in their second, third, fourth years. So there's a

241
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: lot that goes into this, and there's a lot of

242
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: meat on this topic that we're talking about. You start

243
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: talking about what happened in Philly that got him to

244
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and got him a win in a

245
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: city that had been yearning for it for decades, and

246
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot. There's a lot there that's in common

247
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: with teams like Seattle who went to a couple of

248
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowls out with Russell Wilson. They had a young

249
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: quarterback that they nailed. They got like four starters out

250
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: of a draft in two thousand and I think it

251
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: was twelve, you know, or two ten where they got

252
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: these guys. I can't really remember the year of the draft,

253
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: but they hit and got four starters out of the

254
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: two drafts in consecutive years, and all of a sudden

255
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: they're deep in the playoffs for a handful of years.

256
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: You know, all this stuff. There's a lot of larious

257
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: So you look at the guys, you really thinking it's

258
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: all about quarterbacks. Well, it kind of is, but there's

259
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: other things in there that help. And that's what we

260
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: want you to think about. A lot of responses saying

261
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will be the biggest factor. Of course we

262
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: didn't state that in the question. I guess that's pretty obvious.

263
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: How Josh plays will determine him whether he gets a

264
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: second contract, But as Steve just points out, others will

265
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: be factors as well. Coaching staff. You know what kind

266
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: of an offense will Josh Allen be working out of

267
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: here second year with Brian Dable, Will the offense that

268
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: he has put in allow him to showcase his skills

269
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: enough so he can get to that second contract. He

270
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: needs weapons didn't have enough last year, that was pretty obvious.

271
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: They've added a couple of cold Beasley John Brown this year.

272
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: Zay Jones comes back, But does he have the weapons?

273
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: Will that the weapons he works with? Will that allow

274
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: him to get to a second contract? Offensive line a

275
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: lot of you know volume this year, and certainly a

276
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: starting caliber center, maybe one of the best centers in

277
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: the game arise by a free agency. But is there

278
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: enough upfront to let Josh Allen and get to a

279
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: second contract. Maybe it's something we're missing. We understand Josh

280
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: Allen is the factor, right, Yeah, it's absolutely unstated. He

281
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: is the guy who'll be the biggest factor. But around him,

282
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: what does he need? What would be the biggest factor

283
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: around him to get a second contract with the Bills?

284
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: All Right, to go back to the conversations we have,

285
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: I said, who's going to help him the most? Because

286
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: if you don't put that in there, everybody's gonna say

287
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Josh is Josh's gonna help Josh? You know what I get.

288
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: But it turns out the choices we put on there

289
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: a lot of you really like the offensive line, the

290
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: offensive weapons, and the coaching and let's face it, I'm

291
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: big on this sport that we follow this in the

292
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: NFL being and in the consummate ultimate team endeavor more

293
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: so than any other sport I can think of. It

294
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: is a team atmosphere because you have players, and this

295
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: is true at every level. You have players who literally

296
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: play the game to sacrifice their efforts, to sacrifice their bodies,

297
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: to put their emotions into thes of this team. Knowing

298
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be some guy carrying the ball like

299
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: these offensive linemen. There's gonna be somebody carrying the ball

300
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: behind them or throwing the ball behind them or catching

301
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: the ball over there that is gonna get a lot

302
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: of the attention. Nobody's gonna know who the left guard

303
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: is or care who the left guard is. Those guys,

304
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, but that's the kind of sport that they're in.

305
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: You sacrifice your personal success for the good of the team.

306
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: That's why so many guys are gonna help Josh Allen

307
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: get to the place where he gets, and Josh Allen's

308
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna help them get to where they want to go.

309
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: And it's all about it's all about winning a championship.

310
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: That and you know this, Patriots yesterday or the last

311
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: day or two had their ring ceremony where they gave

312
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: out the ring. That's what it's all about for all

313
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: these guys up here. They want to get to that

314
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: where their team has to make plans to give out

315
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: their ring. And it's a great atmosphere. And I think

316
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: that's this question speaks to how important all they are.

317
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: They all are together and Brady wasn't the only one

318
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: who got a ring. I mean, so there are others

319
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: involved with their success at any rate. That's a Twitter

00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: here on Tuesday for the first of the three day

338
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: mandatory Minicamp starts next Tuesday, which is a little bit

339
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: hard to believe. Steve. I recall when I think it

340
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: was mid April, April fifteenth or so, when the players

341
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: veterans returned a couple of weeks before the draft, and

342
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: you look at the springtime practice and you're thinking, oh man,

343
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna take for every Well, it's over. It's just

344
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: about over one more week. And then here's the scary part.

345
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: They do those three practices next week and they are

346
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: out of here for about five weeks until they go

347
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: to camp at the end of July. You can't believe

348
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: the change that takes over in this building when those

349
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: guys scatter. I mean, there's it's a dust bowl, man,

350
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: tumbleweins and it's quiet and it's important too, But go ahead.

351
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm just eager to see with if the new weight room,

352
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: the new player performance center keeps some of these bills

353
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: players in town. Look, everybody wants to scatter, everybody wants

354
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: to get healthy, everybody wants to be a prime for

355
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: training camp at the end of July. Maybe some of

356
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: them will find that this is the best place to

357
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: do that, huh. I think particularly some of the young guys. Yeah,

358
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: because they ain go back and work out at their colleges,

359
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of these colleges have great, great facilities anyway,

360
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: Plus they're familiar with those facilities as well. But I

361
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question if you have the chance

362
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: to stick around as a young player, undrafted, rookie, free agent,

363
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: a draft pick free agent, a young free agent who's

364
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: coming in trying to catch on, or a guy who's

365
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: bounced around the league a little bit. I always thought

366
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: as a player, the best place to be is here

367
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: in this building, working out with these coaches, getting your

368
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: face in front of these guys who make the decisions

369
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: about the players they want, showing them how committed you

370
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: are doing everything they ask you to do, and giving

371
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: them the chance to ask you to do more and

372
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: doing it. And I've told young people this when I

373
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: speak to them, And I've told young football players, young

374
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: young academics, classrooms, I've young whatever, I've had a chance

375
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: to speak to a lot of people over the years.

376
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: I always tell them this, if you always exceed your

377
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: expectations that they lay out for you, if you can

378
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: exceed their expectations, you will always have a place to play,

379
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: you will always have a place to work, you will

380
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: always have a place in whatever organization you're talking about from.

381
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: And I always laugh because when people looked at me,

382
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: the expectations were really low because I you know, Brian

383
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: Giant and I were laughing about, you know, us being

384
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: small guy. The thing they always bust on us about

385
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: being short. The expectations are low. So it was easier

386
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: for me to exceed expectations because I was a short, little,

387
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: small white guy. Right. There's always that connotation that you're,

388
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, just a guy, you're an overachiever, you don't

389
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: have any skills, you don't have any abilities. So it

390
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: was easier for me to exceed the expectations that people

391
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: would have when they just look at you and size

392
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: you up, but then the expectation raises as well. So

393
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: if you can always exceed those expectations, that's what you

394
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: want to do. So if you want to get a

395
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: chance to come in, if you want to be a

396
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: young player at this organization, my advice is to be

397
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: in this building as much as you can. Am I right?

398
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't mind getting away if I

399
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: were those players. They've been here on a voluntary basis

400
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: since April. I get that, under your right, they've been

401
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: here a month two months tops two months and Murph

402
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff they've been doing. People, This

403
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: is like a It's like a veteran baseball camp where

404
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: you go play a nine inning game against Willie Mays

405
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: and Pete Rose and those guys. At a baseball camp.

406
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: You're playing with Lashawn McCoy, Josh Allen, with with Trent Murphy,

407
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: all their NFL. This is a This is like you

408
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: dream of. You don't want this to end. It's not

409
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: like you want to take a break from this. You've

410
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: been working for this your whole life. This is like

411
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: you're living the dream. You don't want to leave. Who

412
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: are talking about? You don't want this take Yeah, you

413
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: want to you want to do this forever. You know,

414
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: you don't need a break from this. This is what

415
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: you've been working for for a decade. Most of the

416
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: rookies also are coming off their season in college football

417
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: and the preparation for the all Star games and bowl games,

418
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: and then the preparation for the Senior Bowl. You know

419
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: what I mean, They've worked for months. I think, Look,

420
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: they're all gonna stay in shape. Some of them are

421
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: gonna work out hard. We've talked to many of them

422
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: on the show about their plans in the next five weeks.

423
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: But um, if they want to get away and kind

424
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: of dial it down for a couple of weeks, I

425
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: don't think that's a bad thing. It's not bad. I wouldn't.

426
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't begrudge anybody taking like taking a five days

427
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: or ten a week. But man, oh man, I'm telling

428
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: you every spare minute I could, I would be in

429
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: this building making sure they knew I was as committed

430
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: as that I could put. When you were drafted by

431
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: the Oilers back in what what did you do? Well?

432
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: It was? Everything's different. Three days maybe a week, not

433
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: even three days, like four or five days after we

434
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: got drafted. The draft was held Mini camp, mandatory, mini camp, veterans, rookies,

435
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: draft picks. Everybody was in. I didn't have a contract, nothing,

436
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: let's go. So we went in and we practiced. We

437
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: didn't have pads on, was just helmets. But we went

438
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: for veterans everybody. So I went three days. I went

439
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: from being a kid in a dorm room with you know,

440
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: doing nothing, to catching passes from Warren Moon in Houston

441
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: for the Oilers, wearing NFL gear and run around with

442
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: Avon Riley and Greg Bingham. It was it was pretty cool.

443
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: So three days of that though, then what Yeah? Then

444
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: that was it. I was back back in Northwest. We're

445
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: just talking about. Listen, you think I really wanted to leave.

446
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you wanted to leave, but I mean

447
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: there has to be some downtime, right There was? Yeah?

448
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: For me. I went back started trying to work out more.

449
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: I was working out of Northwestern. You know, you can't

450
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: take downtime now announced when you're starting still trying to

451
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: get better. I think we're in agreement here, I really do.

452
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: So you're telling me to take a vacation, I'm telling you.

453
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you don't have to stay here to

454
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: stay in shape and get ready to work. That's all

455
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I wouldn't blame a guy kie difference we're

456
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: talking about. I thought we were talking about being here.

457
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: Here's the difference. You go to let's say, go to FAU.

458
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: If you're Devin Singleton, you go back to FAU or

Speaker 1: over and over in Boca Raton and yah, yeah, he's

461
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: gonna work out with a bunch of guys. So you go. Yeah,

462
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: you go Maritos, Yeah exactly, or you go to TCU

463
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: or Louisville or go back to Boston College or Old

464
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: miss you, you name it. You go back to your college.

465
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: Then you have to tell them you were working out. So, yeah,

466
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: I was working out, I was doing good. I was, Oh, really,

467
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: were you awesome? Wouldn't you rather have to say, wow,

468
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: this guy really is working out. By the way, the

469
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: coaches won't be here for those five weeks either, so

470
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: who's gonna know there's there's gonna be staff here five weeks.

471
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: I think we're in agreement, but I'm not sure. I

472
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: just think it's really valuable every chance you get to

473
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: be in this building. You you should be here if

474
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: and there will be players here. I'm certain there should

475
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: be players here, and that was my point with this

476
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: new facility. There might be players who saying, shoot, I

477
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: can't find a better place to work out, I'm gonna

478
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: stay here. I'd be interested to see how many that is,

479
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, I yeah, I'd be surprised if not

480
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: a lot of guys, more guys stayed here. Yeah. I

481
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: just think it's a better idea than going off and

482
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: working someplace else. Show today, interesting show today. We got

483

Speaker 1: the bills, obviously asking a question about Josh Allen. Does

486
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: he get to his second contract and if so, who

00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,639

Speaker 1: because NBA Finals game forts and at Adrian Woods Narowski

588
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: Woach he's famous, he is. Look, we all know Schefter

589
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: does a great job Rappaport, but in the NBA, I

590
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: think he's right there. Steve. He knows more about what's

591
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: going on in the NBA than anybody. And I mean

592
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: anybody whoa oh yeah, yeah, he is the ultimate insider.

593
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: I think he's leg and a half up on Schefter

594
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: and a couple of legs ahead of being rappaport I

595
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: really do in their respective sports. Well, we're gonna ask

596
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: him about the Raptors, and it's all about the Warriors

597
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: and they're overcoming their injuries to get back in this series.

598
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: The Raptors going out to the West Coast and thumping them,

599
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: But they didn't have Kevin Durant, they didn't have Clay Thompson,

600
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: they didn't have Looney We've got a broken collar bone

601
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: or those guy's gonna get back in the game. It's

602
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. It's really intriguing because of that. I

603
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: think they plan on him and Thompson back tonight. Is

604
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: the word. We'll ask world you about this knowing about Durant,

605
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: and I said this yesterday. Remember back when the lebron James,

606
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers were got into the finals against the Warriors,

607
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: the same Warriors. The first I think is the first time,

608
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: and then Kyrie Irving's out, Kevin Love is out, this

609
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: exact same thing. They had no chance to beat the Warriors.

610
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: And now the table has turned. Now the Warriors are

611
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: all nicked up and they're having trouble beating Kawhi Leonard

612
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: and that gang. So it's it's pretty intriguing. It's pretty

613
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: intriguing to see the Warriors behind the eight ball in

614
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: a series of this magnitude because they've been so good

615
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: and so good for the past handful of years. We'll

616
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: talk with would you about that? At one o'clock? Coming

617
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: up after that after practice, Matt Mulano builds third year

618
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: in linebacker. You're gonna join us and we'll talk about

619
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: the Carson Wentz contract with Howard Eskin coming up around two.

620
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: The Wentz contract had us come up with this Twitter poll.

621
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz with his record deal. Let's assume Josh Allen

622
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: gets a second contract. If so, who'd be the biggest

623
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 1: factor in getting him getting a second contract other than him?

624
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: Of course? Of course? Eight oh three five fifty toll

625
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: free one eight eight fifty two five fifty. Let's go

626
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: to some phones here, Greg and north Tonawanda. Hello, Greg, Welcome,

627
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: you're on the show with us. Good afternoon, Hey guys,

628
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: how you doing okay? Great? Listen? I think you guys

629
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: are going a fantastic job. I cannot believe it. I

630
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: am so sick of the national media with their blah

631
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: blah blah. They make no sense for minutes over minutes,

632
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: Do you guys are informative? Actual fantastic? To answer your tweet,

633
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't tweet. Sorry, I don't know. It's okay, that's fine,

634
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: you're better off. But I think the running game is

635
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: really the biggest deal that's going on here. If the

636
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: Bills can run the ball, I think that's what's gonna

637
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: really help Josh. What do you think, Well, there's that's

638
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: a real question too, because what's it gonna take for jobs?

639
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: Because I think we don't get that Josh has got

640
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: all these abilities, He's got all this that we've seen

641
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: him grow visibly before our eyes. We know he's got

642
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: an inside of him to be a really great quarterback

643
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: on a winning quarterback. What's gonna what's it gonna take?

644
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: What are gonna be the ingredients that makes the Buffalo

645
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: Bills be a team that emerges to have the same

646
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: level of success like the Philadelphia Eagles, like the Seattle

647
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks with Russell Wilson when he was young, liked that

648
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: La Rams with a young Jared Goff, What are going

649
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: to be the ingredients that are unique to Buffalo that

650
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: make it happen so that you know, Josh Allenby comes

651
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: up in one of those quarterbacks that everybody talks about,

652
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: like I'm mahomes, like a Carson Wentz, like a Russell Wilson.

653
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: What are the gonna be the ingredients that surround him?

654
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's the really kind of the crux

655
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: of the question we're asking. And you think it's gonna

656
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: be the running game, which is which is interesting The

657
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: key days Hill a lot of weapons around him. Jim

658
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: was great because he was great, but he also had

659
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: a lot of great people around him. Yeah that's the

660
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: key and that's what we're trying to get to today.

661
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: Not Smart Lucky responses on Twitter that, of course Josh,

662
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: of course he's Josh is the biggest factor, but what

663
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: around him could help him get to that second contract?

664
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: And you make a very good point there, Greg about

665
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: the running game. Many people would dismiss it and say, well,

666
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: how can the running game help a quarterback? It can,

667
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: and I think in this case it will. I really

668
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: do believe it will. Well, for instance, he had when

669
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: Jim was running the no huddle back in the day.

670
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: And we've said, we've been talking about this last couple

671
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: of days. We had Jim on the show yesterday, he

672
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: had three other Hall of Famers on the field with

673
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: him all at once. But I think the thing that

674
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: gets lost in all of that and Jim's success and

675
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: that team's success was the fact that when Jim was

676
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: calling the plays, we ran it just as much as

677
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: we threw it. It was a fifty fifty split. In

678
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: some of the biggest games of that era, we ran

679
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: the ball fifty percent of the time or forty nine

680
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: percent of the time and through it fifty one or

681
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: ran at fifty one and throw at forty nine. And

682
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: that was with the quarterback with the big arm calling

683
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: the plays that you know, so you can't what are

684
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: you gonna say. You got Thurman Thomas who led the

685
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: league from in yards from scrimmage for four straight years,

686
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: an MVP one of him. It was an MVP one

687
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: of those years, and he's the only guy at that

688
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: time to have done that in league history. You know

689
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me, Jim would the key? Yeah, the

690
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: key if you can take the pressure off Josh, you know, well,

691
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to do at all. He doesn't have

692
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: to be Doug guy every single play. He's gonna actually perform. Right,

693
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: it's a team sport. And as good as Josh could

694
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: be or will be, or has to be or all

695
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: of that stuff, he's gonna need fifty two other guys

696
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: helping him. And the question, the crux of the question

697
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: today is who do you think that needs to be

698
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: or who do you think it's gonna be? And I

699
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: think it's more so. And we had we had designs

700
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: on another one of the other Twitter polls I wanted

701
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: would you rather have Josh be great for ten work?

702
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: Don't don't answer this question. This is rhetorical. I'm giving

703
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: me a example. Would you rather have Josh be a

704
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: guy who gives you a shot for the next decade

705
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: and a half every year? Or would you rather lightning

706
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: in a bottle this year and have go to the

707
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: super Bowl and have a chance to win it, not

708
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: guarantee to win, but just get to the super Bowl

709
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: and have a chance to win once. I totally agree.

710
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's a tough question. Run that that much

711
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: this year because he had a run way too much

712
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: last year. I don't want to see him jumping over

713
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: anybody as much. That was dramatic and it was fantastic.

714
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that anymore. I want him

715
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: to just be able to hand off the ball, throw

716
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: the ball, make the plays, make the right decisions, make

717
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: the right calls like Jim Kelly did, and you know,

718
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: I think we'll be successful and I appreciate you taking

719
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: my calls. Another aspect of this is too is how

720
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: how great would it be if Josh Allen was a

721
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: catalyst for you know, like Lashawn McCoy running for fifteen

722
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: hundred and Zay Jones, Robert Foster, Cole Beasley, John Brown,

723
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: one of those guys catching the ball for eighteen hundred yards,

724
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, setting setting a Bill's franchise record for yards

725
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: and receptions in a year. How great would it be

726
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen was the catalyst for all of those

727
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: guys being successful the way Jim was in a lot

728
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: of ways that I'd be a blast to watch, to

729
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: watch others thrive because of him. Yeah, that'd be the

730
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: way to go. Here's a call from Bob and Tanawana. Hello, Bob, welcome,

731
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: You're on the air of this Hi guys, how are

732
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: you doing, first time caller? I actually live in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

733
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: Very nice, Good for you. I love Green Bay. It

734
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: was a fun trip I took this year. This last year.

735
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: I was there. Go ahead. I'm looking at the question,

736
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, isn't the biggest factor going to be

737
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: Josh himself to make that continual progression each year? Yeah?

738
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: That was a given kind of right, But go ahead,

739
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: And I didn't pay. I knew Carson had gotten a

740
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: new contract, but how does his contract compared to the

741
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: one Aaron Rodgers got last year and he was supposedly

742
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: the biggest contract. Well, I'll tell you, I'm looking right

743
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: now at the average average money for quarterbacks. This is

744
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: courtesy of spot Track and our buddy Mike Jannitti. Russell

745
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: Wilson leads the league, averaging thirty five million dollars per year.

746
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger second averages thirty four, Rogers thirty three point

747
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: five million, and then Carson Wentz his fourth now averaging

748
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: thirty two million. So he's right behind. He's a million

749
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: and a half per year behind Aaron Rodgers. Does that

750
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: seem right to you, Bob? Those are pretty steep numbers.

751
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: I didn't realize I's actually had the highest contracts. No,

752
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is the highest. I think. I just think,

753
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: like the one caller was before was just saying and

754
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 1: you were saying that he's got to have fifty two

755
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: other people around him. But again, the biggest factor I

756
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: believe for Josh is that to see that continual progression

757
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: every year so that when his contract is up for renewal,

758
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: he would be considered in the upper echelon of the

759
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are out there right now. What's he need

760
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: to do that besides himself and his own improvement. Who

761
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: do you think is going to factor the most into that? Coaching,

762
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: the offensive line, the guys outside. What's it gonna look

763
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: like when he is that guy who deserves a second contract. Well,

764
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: it's a combination of the coaching and the people. I

765
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: believe that's the question. That's the real question. Trying to

766
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: drive that's the real question right there. And we know

767
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: that Josh inside of Josh. You know, we've seen it

768
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: with all these first rounders. You see one guy who

769
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: drafted in the sixth round becomes the greatest quarterback of

770
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: all time and a guy with all a lot more

771
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: ability draft in the first round fizzles out because of

772
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 1: what's inside their mind and what's inside their chest. We're

773
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: trying to find out if, if what we know of

774
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: Josh is there, who's gonna help him get there? And

775
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: that's that's really the crux of the question, because it

776
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: all it all falls on Josh. But I want to

777
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: know what it's gonna look like for the rest of

778
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, Dave on the line in Florida. Hello, Dave, welcome,

779
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead, you're on the air with this. Hey, how

780
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: you doing? How you guys doing great? Go ahead? I

781
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: got I got a bout of the answer for you. Uh,

782
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: you're projected, Josh Allen we upparture or whatever you're calling.

783
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: I think what we did with all these guys were

784
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: signed offensive linemen and stuff like this. Other than Morris

785
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: the center, these guys all sigh one year contracts. So

786
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: now I see that, and I projected now McCoy and

787
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: Gord are not going to be around next year or two.

788
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: They'll be hanging it up. And last, but not least,

789
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: I think our defense got to hold their own and

790
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: I think everything will be all right. But I think

791
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: you need the younger guys get out of that offensive

792
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: line and protect him. That's a good point, Dave, and

793
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: I think we go into this knowing that Josh will

794
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: not really cannot get his contract extended after until he

795
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: finishes two more seasons, right going into his third season,

796
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: So by that time, I would think it was fourth season,

797
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: after his third season, right, two more to play, I

798
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: would think by that time we'd have a pretty good

799
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: sense of what the offensive line looks like. Yes, hopefully

800
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 1: they have locked up some of these some of these

801
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: guys play well, we hope, and they lock him up

802
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: to longer term deals. And maybe not just drafting people

803
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: and trying to plug in, but all of them. Yeah,

804
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, our Gore and Shady gonna be around when

805
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: he's ready for contract extension in a couple of years.

806
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: Maybe not. You know, Shady is getting up there and

807
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: Gore is even older. But we just wonder if he

808
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: gets there, if Josh plays to the point where the

809
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: Bills want to and need to sign him to his

810
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: second contract, who around him would be the biggest factor?

811
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: That's our question, right, Yeah, that's exactly That's exactly what

812
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: he's put Of course, all of us know you're responsible

813
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: for your own actions. Your own career, your own your

814
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: own effort, your own performance performance. But you're playing the

815
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: team sport of all team sports, and you know who's

816
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna be there to help you? What players are, what weapons, tools,

817
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: what assets are gonna be Josh Allen's biggest contributor to

818
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: his success because he's gonna need some help. He's gonna

819
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: need Brian Dable to make the right calls. He's gonna

820
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: need guys to emerge as true winners on the outside

821
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: to catch passes. He's gonna need an offensive line that

822
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: can get a running game going. He's gonna need Shady

823
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: and Frank Gore or others like them to contribute behind

824
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: him to take the pressure off the pass rush and

825
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: the and the the back end of the defense. It's there's

826
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts that Josh Allen's going to

827
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: have to navigate, And what we're really asking is what's

828
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: it gonna look like? And you know, obviously it all

829
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: falls on Josh's shoulders, But outside of that, who's it

830
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna be? Think of it this way, and today, Carson

831
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: Wentz gets his contract extension. Last night, Carson Wentz wakes

832
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: up today and say, man, I'm really lucky Who do

833
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: I have to thank for this? Who's on this list? Once?

834
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 1: It is probably thinking, well, they better call Alshon, Jeffrey

835
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: and Nelson Agilar, Right, they helped me out a ton,

836
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: zach Ertz helped me out a lot. Here, better buy

837
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 1: my offensive lineman, Rolexes. Right, I better thank the coaching staff.

838
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: They've done a great job with me. And that's what

839
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: we're kind of projecting out a couple of years to

840
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 1: when Josh, if he gets to that point, who would

841
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: be on his list to call up and thank you?

842
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: Thank you for helping me get here? Right, that's what

843
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: we're asking. It's exactly right. All right, we'll take a break,

844
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We'll read some tweets from the tweet

845
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: sheet when we return. Who would be the biggest factor

846
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen gets his second contract with the Bills.

847
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come back. One Bill's

848
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome

849
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: back it is are It is a lively, lively show

850
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: today when we're in breaks, I don't know what. I

851
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: hope you're enjoying it while we're on because we're talking

852
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: about sports. We're talking about sports and how it's digested

853
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: and what you like and don't like about each of

854
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: the sports. We're we're having an NBA talk here at

855
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, and we're gonna and we're

856
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: talking about that series we're talking and of course the

857
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: Instigators are on right before and we're all neck deep

858
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: in the Sabers and and of course football. So we're

859
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: talking about all these sports in the break and how

860
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: we're digesting them, and we you know, started with the

861
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: Twitter poll we've got today about Josh Owen, what it

862
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: takes for him to be successful and how, you know more,

863
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, outside of him himself, what's it gonna look like,

864
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: who's gonna help him? What does a good quarterback? How

865
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: does a good quarterback? Or more importantly, how is the

866
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, and how are the Buffalo

867
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: Bills gonna look when this quarterback is successful? Who's gonna

868
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: be the ones that are also successful? Who are going

869
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: to be the ones that make him successful? That to

870
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: help him get there, that to get this second contract

871
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: we're talking about that Carson Wentz signed yesterday, and also

872
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals series. I mean, there's a lot in

873
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: the NBA that I find really interesting these days about

874
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: Lebron James, Kevin Durant, the free agents, where they're gonna go,

875
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: because man, old man, I've noticed something wherever La Lebron

876
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: James goes, that team gets better. Except this year. Yeah,

877
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: it's the first time. Ever. How bad do the Lakers

878
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: organization have to be that they got that guy on

879
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: him and they can't get there. I mean, he built

880
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: the Cavalier, the Cleveland Cavaliers want to want a title

881
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: on his back. On his back, I mean he strapped

882
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: that whole city to his back and won a title

883
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: and got him to a bunch of titles. The question

884
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: number four, Yeah, I mean right, So it's really intriguing.

885
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant's gonna go someplace, Kyrie Irving, Kawhi, Leonard, Lebron,

886
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: all these guys are going to play new places and

887
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: those in everything. It kind of hinges us. So it's

888
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: fun to watch the NBA these days. Yeah, we'll talk

889
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: about about that in a couple of minutes. Carson Wentz

890
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: got his second contract, huge deal. If Josh Allen gets there,

891
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: who would be the biggest factor or what would be

892
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: the biggest factor in that? Let's talk about it. Bill

893
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: on the line from Virginia. Hello, Bill, welcome to the show.

894
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: You're on the air with this chill mean sony pleasure

895
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: of speaking with you. So like the Fessor's just not saying,

896
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: I really know nothing about football and I I love listen

897
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: to your show. Though. What I like, what I've seen

898
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: about is your your last option, which is other and

899
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: for me, for his success, you have to have a

900
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: tolerance of errors. Now, you all and plenty of other

901
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: people have talked about the inaccuracy of Alan as he

902
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: throws the ball. To have an impact on the game

903
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: and to be able to perhaps get the second big contract,

904
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: you have to have the ability to throw the ball. Yeah,

905
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to throw the ball. And if

906
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: Alan is as inaccurate as people suggest, the accuracies are

907
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: going to come with errors interceptions in the life. So

908
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: if those errors preclude the coaching staff and continuing to

909
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball, then Alan will buy logic, not be

910
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: able to have as big an impact on the game

911
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: as say some other quarterbacks who can't throw to ball.

912
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: More so, I think that the coaching staff considers this.

913
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: You have to say, look, we need to take the

914
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: good with the bad. We need to tolerate the errors,

915
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: and with that, I think he can be successful and

916
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: perhaps moved to the next contract. Okay, So, so what

917
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: do you think that's going to look like if Josh

918
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: Allen does get to his second contract and you've seen him,

919
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: and you and we don't necessarily agree with the premise

920
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen is an inaccurate quarterback. Now he is

921
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: a lower percentage of completion percentage than other guys except

922
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: for late in the season this last year. We think,

923
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: and for good reason, that there are other factors that

924
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: contribute to that's more about decision making than it is

925
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: his arm. But that set aside, what Bill, what do

926
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: you think it's going to look like it when he

927
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: does get to a second contract, is successful with the

928
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. What other factors outside of his own efforts

929
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: are going to make you know, are going to let

930
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: that happen? Well? I think, um, I think it's going

931
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 1: to be coaching, because the coaches have to be able

932
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 1: to whether it's an accurate or whether it's decision making,

933
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: put him in a position to be able to complete

934
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: the passes that need to be completed and to move

935
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: the team up and down the field. So the coaches

936
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: I think probably need to be able to develop either

937
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: game plans or schemes or whatever you might call it

938
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: that are going to put him in a position to

939
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: be successful, to be able to make the throws if

940
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: he can make well, to be able to make the decisions,

941
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 1: whether it's limited the number of decisions to one side

942
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: of field or the other, that are going to allow

943
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: him to complete more passes and actually get continuing into

944
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: the end zone. Yeah, it's good. It's a good it's

945
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: a good opinion. I think that might be one that

946
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: I concur with. And we haven't even Murph and I

947
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 1: have We've been talking about this thing for an hour

948
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: now and we haven't even gotten to our own opinions

949
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: about what we actually think this is gonna look like.

950
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: So maybe after we after the bottom of the end,

951
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: maybe one thirty, we'll get into what you and you

952
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: and I think about what it's gonna look like. We

953
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: haven't even given our opinion yet, have we. No, we

954
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: have not. We've been we've been battling the the zen

955
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: of Josh as his own worst enemy culprid going into this.

956
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, thank you for the call, Bill, that was good,

957
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: and you're right I think when push comes to chef

958
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: coaching is gonna have a lot to say about it.

959
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,439

1035
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots there to my heart. Well, did you ever

1036
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: really get up here to Orchard Park for a Bills

1037
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: game while you were at Bondoventure. I did not at Bontoventure,

1038
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: but I did when I was working in New York,

1039
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: New Jersey when they played the Jets in an AFC game.

1040
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: So I had been there for U for a bunch

1041
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: of games. But hey, if you went to school of

1042
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: bodies like you were surrounded by Bills fans. There are

1043
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: Bills fans everywhere, so and they were great. It was

1044
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: obviously Steve's Steve's there there great in those days, and

1045
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: it was it was It was fun, um, you know,

1046
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: to be around the excitement of the Super Bowl runs

1047
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: that the Bills had and to be to be in

1048
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: western New York at that time was a lot of

1049
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: fun to see that. Yeahs one, it was fun while

1050
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: lasted from our end as well. So yeah, and Adrian,

1051
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: we got to ask you too about your work at

1052
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: the NBA. Now, Murph and I were talking in the

1053
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,760
Speaker 1: break that this might be one of the most interesting

1054
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: errors in NBA our in recent memory, for sure, because

1055
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: there's so much that happens outside the game with free

1056
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: agency and the players that move, and then in the

1057
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: enormous effect they have on both conferences and the playoff

1058
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: runs and the ability of each team to have a

1059
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: shot at winning a title. You know, obviously Lebron James

1060
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: has been an enormous factor in that up until this year,

1061
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: until he went to LA But there are a number

1062
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: of guys stepping up to the plate in free agency

1063
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,760
Speaker 1: or on the cusp of free agency that could happen

1064
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: once again, how do you think that's going to shake

1065
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: out when when this next season tips off in two

1066
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: and twenty. Now, you're you're You're right, Steven, it's the

1067
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: balance of power. It may more than tip here, and

1068
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: certainly Kevin Durant Kyrie Irving, I think it begins and

1069
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 1: ends with those two, especially if they decide to play

1070
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 1: together somewhere. If each decides to leave Golden State Boston respectively,

1071
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 1: that certainly changes the power structure in the league. Kawhi

1072
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: Leonard decision is going to be impactful. If he stays

1073
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: in Toronto, that continues to be a championship contender. If

1074
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: he leaves, you know, they'll have to reshape that roster

1075
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: and he goes somewhere else where, he makes them and

1076
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: possibly pairs up with somebody. I think, what's really interesting.

1077
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: You have a lot of big, high level free agents available,

1078
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: and then you look at the teams in the big markets,

1079
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 1: the two Los Angeles teams, the two New York teams.

1080
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: You know, they have multiple max salary slots available. Now

1081
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: they're not all going to get hot, you know, the

1082
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: A List guys, they're all competing for them. And so

1083
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: there are going to be teams who have created cap space,

1084
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: who have put themselves in position to have the ability

1085
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: to go sign a big player who's not going to

1086
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: get them, and there aren't enough to go around. And

1087
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: of course they'll be big free to stay where they are,

1088
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: but it's going to make it a pretty wild Say July,

1089
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: it starts on June thirtieth at six pm this year.

1090
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: By the time we get to July one at midnight,

1091
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: in those six hours that, you know, we may see

1092
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: the landscape of the league look very different. Woad is

1093
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: on the line with as ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wadsnarowski. Woach,

1094
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: give me your take on the finals so far, only

1095
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: three games played, and I detect kind of a wild

1096
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: swing after each of those games as far as people's

1097
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: perception of these two teams. You know, Game one, Oh Toronto,

1098
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: Game two, it was like, Oh Golden State, the pedigree

1099
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: of a champion, and everybody's back on the Raptors bandwagon.

1100
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: I think this thing is going to play out over

1101
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: six or seven games. What do you think? Yeah, I

1102
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: think certainly the impact that Clay Thompson has coming back

1103
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: to play will be certainly felt for Golden State. And

1104
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: then Kevin Durant. I think that remains the wild card

1105
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: in this series. Number one. Is he going to come

1106
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: back to play? And if he does, how you know,

1107
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: he's been out for several weeks, and how does he

1108
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: impact his team? And certainly you have to defend Golden

1109
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: State in a very different way. When he's on the floor.

1110
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: It creates more opportunities for other players in isolation situations,

1111
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Clay Thompson, you know, Draymond Green, and so

1112
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: kay d takes a lot of pressure. You know, right

1113
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: now you're seeing Toronto really load up on the key

1114
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: Golden State players. And certainly defensively Toronto, they have length,

1115
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: they have depth, they have physical strength, and they they

1116
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: have defended Golden State as well as anybody over the

1117
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: last few years. And of course, but this is a

1118
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: depleted Warriors team. I think the draw, the intrigue of

1119
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: Durant still looming out there, will make these last final

1120
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 1: few games pretty dramatic. There is that thought out there

1121
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: that if Kevin Durant comes back, Golden State could win

1122
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: every single game remaining correct. I mean, certainly they're capable

1123
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: of it, but I think, you know, listen, with him,

1124
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: it's a different team. There's no question he may be

1125
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: the best player in this league right now, but this

1126
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: is a formidable Toronto team. I think this is a

1127
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: team that with Kawhi Letard leading the way, who is

1128
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: ben a finals MVP, who's won a championship, who's been

1129
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: two games seven of another finals, you know, he rises

1130
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: to the moment. He's not afraid of the stage. He's

1131
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: been there. I think the rest of that team feeds

1132
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 1: off of that. And you've seen the growth in Pascal Siakam,

1133
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: who has played really, really well in these playoffs and

1134
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: is blossoming into a star for the Raptors. And this

1135
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: is a team that's they're not afraid of Golden State.

1136
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: And and in past years you would see teams like

1137
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: there was a level of intimidation and trying to compete

1138
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: with them. That I think mentally, there were teams who

1139
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: were beaten before they took the floor against them. I

1140
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: don't think even with Kevin Durant, I think this Toronto

1141
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: team was wired to go out and compete against them. Well,

1142
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: Steph Curry forty seven points the other night Game three.

1143
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: Steve's heard me say this a couple of times over

1144
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. He's one of my favorites. Is

1145
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: he can we call him the greatest shooter of all times?

1146
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, what do you think shooter as? I think absolutely,

1147
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 1: because he's able to go get his shot in ways.

1148
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 1: And you think of the other historic shooters three point shooters,

1149
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: certainly Reggie Miller, Ray Allen. You know they were more

1150
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: catch and shoot type players to come off the screen,

1151
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily create for themselves. This is a player in

1152
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 1: Steph Curry who could make so many different shots off balance, runners,

1153
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: thirty five footers, seventy high foots. His ability to extend

1154
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: the court in a way he changed the game in

1155
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: the NBA. His ability to step out further than people

1156
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: thought anybody else taking no shots, that's a bad shot,

1157
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: that's that's not a way you can build an offense

1158
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: in a system. He changed the way people looked at

1159
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: the three point line and he extended it really further back.

1160
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: And then, of course, you know, his ability, his ball handling,

1161
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: all the things he does makes him as unique of

1162
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: a player at the league as a league seat. And

1163
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, there's no question when you look at

1164
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,919
Speaker 1: his ability to score the ball, shoot the ball all

1165
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: over the floor, there's never been anybody like him. Yeah,

1166
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: And it's not just his ability to shoot it all

1167
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: over the floor. He can also get to the basket.

1168
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: So you have to defend him in every corner of

1169
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,479
Speaker 1: the end. Is he going to be enough if Clay

1170
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: Thompson can't finish a game, if Kevin Durant doesn't come back.

1171
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: We saw the Raptors handle them already. You said that

1172
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: is that is it just a foregone conclusion? Then if

1173
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: if it's if it's if it's just him and nobody else,

1174
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: can they do it? No? They can't, and they can't.

1175
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: And I think with he and Clay, it's a question

1176
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: of whether those two alone can do that. Um, you

1177
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: know the chance um Kevon Looney will return in this

1178
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: series that they may be able to and certainly he

1179
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: would give them up front some more size and versatility

1180
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: and strength that that certainly helps Golden State's depth. But

1181
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: and I think there's confidence that Clay Thompson like Clay

1182
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: wanted to play the other night and the team had

1183
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: to basically save them from himself. They didn't want to risk,

1184
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, tweaking that hamstring again in Game three and

1185
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's out for the series. And

1186
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: then they you know, so they had to step in

1187
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: and because they know Clay, Clay's mindset is I'm gonna play,

1188
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play hurt. But I think as long as

1189
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: those two and I think there's confidence Clay will be

1190
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: able to continue on here. He feels much better. Like

1191
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: those two together and the rest of that gold State team.

1192
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: I think there's confidence and I think you look at it,

1193
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: they could win this They could win this series. But

1194
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: without Clay, without KD. Step is a solo act that's

1195
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: not beating this Raptor's team, right with woe. Jdrian Warnarowski

1196
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: of ESPN, just a couple of minute stuff to talk

1197
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: about the NBA. Well, d, you're in a weird spot

1198
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: kind of a side show in these NBA playoffs this

1199
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: year with courtside fans. I think you've got Drake putting

1200
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: on a show in Toronto and the minority investor in

1201
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: the Warriors doing his thing the other nights. He's been

1202
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: suspended for a year and find half a million dollars?

1203
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: What's going on here? And are we getting to the

1204
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: point where you're gonna have to have like the old

1205
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: Rochester Royals actually have a cage around the basketball floor.

1206
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, I mean it's I mean,

1207
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: they're two very different instances. Certainly, it's hard to compare

1208
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: the two of them. Mean, Drake is, you know, you know,

1209
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: kind of the super fan Raptors, the super fan of

1210
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: the Raptors and you know, to to and he's been

1211
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: there all along, even when they weren't very good. He

1212
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: was always there and he kind of gave them an

1213
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: identity before the team got really good. He gave he

1214
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: gave it some credibility to play in Toronto, and I

1215
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,959
Speaker 1: think they're always appreciative of it. I think the league

1216
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: would prefer he's not giving back massages to Nick Nurse

1217
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: during the game. I think the Raptors would probably prefer to.

1218
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: But I think for them, it's in a spirit of

1219
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: supporting the team and it and it probably rubs everybody

1220
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: else the wrong way. But Raptors fans, I think generally

1221
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: like it. And yeah, what happened in Golden State with

1222
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: Mark Stevens in Game three was obviously beyond unacceptable and

1223
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: league suspended him for a year. Find him. Um, that's

1224
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: it's not certainly not acceptable for any fan, but for

1225
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: somebody who's in the organizations, in the investment group. But

1226
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: the organization has to know better. I think it's a

1227
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: little bit of the sign of the times. I think people.

1228
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: I think people want to they think that they're a

1229
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: part of the game and they're not a part of

1230
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: the game, and I think those lines have been blurred

1231
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: at times that you can say anything you want to

1232
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 1: anybody who can put your hands on them. I just

1233
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: think it's I understand the player's frustration with it, because

1234
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen other instances. I think there was

1235
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: someone earlier this year who is you know, put his

1236
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: hands on Russell Westbrook in you know, I think somebody

1237
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: said we are not and I think a player said

1238
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: to me one day, we're not animals in the zoo,

1239
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: like we're not here for you to pet during the game.

1240
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: And I think for some people it's that can be

1241
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: lost And what happened in Golden State was was gross,

1242
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: like it just you can't do that. So I don't

1243
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: know if it's a trend. I think people when you

1244
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: see this, the kind of attention something like this gets,

1245
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: I would think it would give other people pause to

1246
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: not put themselves in that situation. But well, you know,

1247
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: we'll see how it plays out. Yeah, I think it's

1248
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: one of the points where it's easy for fans because

1249
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: they spend so much time watching screens, they tend to

1250
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: think they can treat real human beings like they're not

1251
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: human beings. They forget that these guys are. You know,

1252
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: that there's a level of humanity in every situation that

1253
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: they got to respect, and I think they kind of

1254
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: gets forgotten one one real human being. We want to

1255
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: talk about Murph and I have I have I don't

1256
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: have a vested interest in this, but Murph does. Our

1257
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: friend John bee Line, who is now the coach of

1258
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers, has he finished putting his staff together.

1259
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: How do you think that's going to go down in Cleveland?

1260
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: And what do you think that means, well, he's still

1261
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,959
Speaker 1: they're still working on his staff. They are JB. Bicker

1262
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: staff will be his associate head coach. JV's outstanding. I

1263
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: know John really liked him when they started to spend

1264
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: some time together. I know JB's excited to work with

1265
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: John and they'll put a staff together there that I

1266
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: think we'll compliment John like the experience on his bench.

1267
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: He needs to learn the personnel in the league and

1268
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: there's things that are just different. But at the same

1269
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: time that I hired John to be John and to

1270
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: bring you know, the one word Kobe Altman their GM.

1271
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: He had used it with me throughout this was like

1272
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: he's a culture driver. We want him to set the

1273
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: tone in our building through our organization, and John will

1274
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: do that. And I think now you know John's unique

1275
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: and you and Murph knows that. I've known John since

1276
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: he was at Kinnecius and a good friend of mine

1277
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: from Bonnie's Mike McDonald worked for him and then took

1278
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,479
Speaker 1: over for him at Kinnecius and watched his teams there.

1279
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: And there's a certain way they play the game and

1280
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: it never changes and they share the ball and it's

1281
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: it can work in the NBA. I know, I was

1282
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: talking to Karis Lavert of the Nets and we were

1283
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: talking about John Is even before he went to Cleveland,

1284
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: and I asked him what how would John do in

1285
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 1: the end BA. He said, what we do would work.

1286
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: So he said he would need the right players. And

1287
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: I think what the circumstance that Johnson in Cleveland is

1288
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: really good and that he's going to get to build

1289
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: his roster. They've got multiple picks. They are going to

1290
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: build around young players and so John can have a

1291
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: say and who they bring in or have some voice,

1292
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: and then they can teach his style to them. I

1293
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: think last year when he looked at that Detroit job,

1294
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: it was a very veteran team. The roster was pretty cemented.

1295
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: There wasn't gonna be much change in it, and I

1296
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: think that gave him some pause that that might not

1297
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: be the right group for him to come in with.

1298
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: But a young building team in Cleveland and a front

1299
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: office in an organization that really believes in him. Mike Ganzi,

1300
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: who plays for him at West Virginia is the assistant

1301
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: general manager, and Kobe Altman their GM. They're owner Dan Gilbert.

1302
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: They they really wanted John and so I'm excited to

1303
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: see how it goes. He too. Hey, one last question

1304
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: for you, and it deals with your role as the

1305
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: NBA Insider, senior NBA Insider for ESPN. You know, we

1306
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: we do mostly football on the show, and we're used

1307
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,919
Speaker 1: to the stories, the big stories being broken by Adam

1308
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: Schefter and that crew. You do that for the NBA.

1309
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: You do it as quite frankly, as well as anybody

1310
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 1: does it in any sport. But I was thinking about

1311
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: the I don't know, the toilet must take. I mean,

1312
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,919
Speaker 1: you can never go to sleep, can you When stories break?

1313
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: You are expected to have it right by ESPN. Not

1314
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 1: just by ESPN, but NBA fans all over the country. Yeah, listen,

1315
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: it's it's uh, you know, there's a commitment it takes

1316
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: to do this. And listen, everybody, I'm not listen. Everybody

1317
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: works hard at their jobs and I like to think

1318
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: I do chew and but but it's, um, I love it.

1319
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: It's all I've ever wanted to do, and it's it's

1320
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: fun to get to do it for ESPN. I got it, okay,

1321
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: so let's put it to the test. So this I

1322
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: got this little side note here on the bottom of

1323
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 1: the page. The Nets trade Alan Crab and a number

1324
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: seventeen pick in the two thousand nine nineteen NBA draft

1325
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: and protected their first pick in the twenty twenty draft

1326
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: to the Hawks for Turian Prince in a twenty twenty

1327
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: one second round pick. Is that a consequential trade? What

1328
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 1: is that? Because that seems to me like that is

1329
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: a footnote. Do you know anything about that? No, it

1330
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: is the consequence, will say, because what it did was

1331
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: create It created the cap space now for the Nets

1332
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: to have two max salary slots this summer. They got

1333
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: off eighteen million dollars in that trade. They had to

1334
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: give up two first round picks to get that money off.

1335
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: So it is a calculated risk by the Nets that

1336
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: they have confidence that they're going to be able to

1337
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: get out in free agency in July and get maybe

1338
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: not just one, but two big players. Kyrie Irving is

1339
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: certainly a focus for the Nets. He has interest in them,

1340
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: and so in that sense, it's not necessarily the trade.

1341
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: It's it's what the trade was a prelude too, and

1342
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: that's where I think it had, you know, more more

1343
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: news to do that three weeks out from free agency,

1344
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: you could have waited and did that deal July one,

1345
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: June thirtieth, once you knew you were going to get somebody.

1346
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: So it took some confidence from from Brooklyn to do it. Now,

1347
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 1: So you think that's what it did, was it made

1348
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: the Nets a landing spot for guys like Kyrie Irving,

1349
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant and the rest of the free agency or

1350
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: whoever they can woo to play in Brooklyn. That's right,

1351
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: that's right. They needed to get that money off to

1352
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: get a second max. They had enough for one. Now

1353
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: they have enough for two and and so it's uh,

1354
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, they had to do the financial gymnastics to

1355
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: get that done. The Knicks and Clippers book did it

1356
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: during the regular season, and Nets and I've did it

1357
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Okay, hey, WoT thanks for this game day.

1358
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: I know a busy day for you. We thank you

1359
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: for carving out a few minutes to be with us.

1360
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work. We're big fans here in Buffalo.

1361
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: Thanks thanks having me on, guys, I appreciate it. Thanks

1362
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 1: Adrian wards Narowski, senior ESPN insider for the NBA joining

1363
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 1: us all the way from Golden State. I had to

1364
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: ask that whenever you started asking about Treys and I

1365
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 1: knew he'd get to the BA. He did too. It's

1366
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: about the cap space, cap space. Yeah, he's all over it. Yeah,

1367
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: he was all I would. It's impressive. Schefter does great work.

1368
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Others do pretty good work. Adrian is locked into the NBA.

1369
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing. Every story goes through. Well, it's amazing.

1370
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you for those of you who

1371
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: wanted to listen to our show, we're all football all

1372
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 1: the time, but both Murph and I are watching these

1373
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:25,719
Speaker 1: these NBA NBA finals. I think the NBA is becoming

1374
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: more and more interesting and I and we just wanted

1375
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: to spend one segment of the show talking about it

1376
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: because he's I'm watching the finals. If I can get it,

1377
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I gotta watch him because it's fun. Yeah, it's fun.

1378
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: Wo By the ways, and are one of our producers.

Speaker 1: back with more. One Bill's Live from One Bill's Driving.

1383
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. One Bill's Live from One

1384
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive Jown, Murphy Steve. Thanks again to Adrian one

1385
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 1: Narrowski for joining us woach from ESPN's NBA coverage. That's

1386
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: our second NBA guests this week. We had Bill season

1387
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: ticket member Jack Armstrong earlier where were doing too much hoops.

1388
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: It's the middle of the finals, Game three, Cup came

1389
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: four coming up tonight, and it's compelling series. And it's

1390
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: the Toronto in Toronto. I mean, yeah, you know you

1391
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:20,600
Speaker 1: gotta do. If it was Cleveland, we'd be doing the

1392
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: same thing. We wouldn't be doing it if it was

1393
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be doing anything. If it was Nola, you

1394
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 1: know that New Orleans or you know, one of those

1395
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: might do it. If it was the Knicks or somebody

1396
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: like that, or some other franchise that hasn't done it

1397
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: for a while. Yeah, but it's a special time special.

1398
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 1: We don't do hockey because we have a two hour

1399
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: hockey show right before us, right see. I would feel

1400
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: if we see I have a great interest in hockey.

1401
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: I love the saves and I have a I'm sorry,

1402
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm moving my mic there. I'm have you know, so,

1403
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: I but I feel somehow unqualified. Yeah, do you know

1404
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, like, I'm way unqualified to talk

1405
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: about the NBA, but we you know what I mean.

1406
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: But I can just make generalizations about them. I'm not

1407
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: really expected to know anything. So we're kind of casual thing, right,

1408
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm in the same book, I feel. I just my

1409
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: opinions echo the instigators because I asked them. I Pepper Pepper,

1410
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,640
Speaker 1: those guys with questions. Everybody go hot, Like I go

1411
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 1: to Revey, I go Craig, I go Ribs. How do

1412
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: I feel about this Krueger signing? Right? Yeah? And he

1413
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: tells me and he tells me, and I Okay, that's

1414
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: how I feel. Yeah, you know, could I trust him? Yeah?

1415
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's that's my That's why we

1416
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: can we stay away from the hockey. We do have

1417
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 1: more football talk, and we're gonna talk with Bill's linebacker

1418
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: Matt Milano in a couple of minutes. Today's OTA session

1419
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 1: just ending right about now. Milan's going to be in

1420
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 1: here after that, and then coming up at two o'clock,

1421
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,759
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the Eagles and Carson Wentzteel

1422
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: Howard Eskin, who covers the Eagles for WIP Radio when

1423
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is their sideline reporter, he'll join us talk about

1424
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz one hundred twenty eight million dollars four year extension,

1425
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: and we wondered what that man for Josh Allen a

1426
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 1: couple of years out. And that's our Twitter poll. Wentz

1427
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,639
Speaker 1: gets the record setting second contract. Who or what would

1428
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: be the biggest factor in getting Josh Allen a second

1429
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: contract with the Bills? The obvious answer, which we assume

1430
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen, but think beyond that, Who or what

1431
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: is the biggest factor in getting Josh Ellen a second

1432
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: contract with the Bills? Give us a call, we'll discuss

1433
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty or toll free one

1434
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. You can

1435
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: send us a tweet. We could read it on the

1436
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. We'll get to that in a moment. And

1437
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll, we got more than seven hundred thirty

1438
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,600
Speaker 1: votes in who or what outside of Josh would be

1439
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 1: the biggest factor in getting him a second contract? And

1440
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: it's close. Thirty one percent say the offensive line, twenty

1441
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: seven percent say offensive weapons, twenty one percent have something

1442
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: else in mind. Please tell me you're not thinking Josh.

1443
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: We know that. Twenty percent say coaching, Steve you asked me,

1444
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:46,440
Speaker 1: I would vote coaching. I think it's that important stability.

1445
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: You know, more than just a year or two with

1446
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: the same offensive coordinator. Josh is into a second quarterback coach. Now,

1447
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: a successful team obviously helps Josh Allen succeed and get

1448
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: into a second contract. But I think it's coaching and

1449
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: the way they direct him in these first few years

1450
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: of his NFL career. Yeah, I agree with you completely,

1451
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. They set the table for so much

1452
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 1: of what happens around him. The offensive weapons that the

1453
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 1: roster is set by the coaches. The deployment of those

1454
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: weapons is set by the coaches. The utilization and what

1455
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,719
Speaker 1: they ask those weapons to do is set by the coaches.

1456
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: The offensive line, the lineup, the coaching, the techniques, the

1457
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,719
Speaker 1: effectiveness of this offensive line is going to be dictated

1458
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: by Bobby Johnson and his coaching staff and Brian Dable

1459
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,759
Speaker 1: and his coaching staff. The play selection obviously the coaching staff.

1460
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: The coaching staff sets the table for all the success

1461
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: that all these guys have bad coaches. If you've got

1462
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 1: great players and bad coaches, the coaches may be better,

1463
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: but the players aren't going to be their best. If

1464
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 1: you've got great coaching. They're going to get more out

1465
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: of less. These guys are going to flourish, And I

1466
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 1: think I think the bulk of the success of this

1467
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:57,600
Speaker 1: franchise on the field, between the lines all rests with

1468
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 1: his coaching staff, and that's so I would put it

1469
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 1: all on them. Certainly, Josh in his own in his

1470
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,680
Speaker 1: own career has hit the control of his effort, his

1471
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: preparation and all of that, but even that is going

1472
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: to be affected by the guys who are in the

1473
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: room with him, Brian day Ball and Ken Dorsey. So

1474
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: there's no way you can overstate how important those guys are.

1475
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: So that's why I would vote for them in this poll.

1476
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 1: What do you think the line's open? We've got time

1477
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 1: to talk about it. Eight three fifty toll free one

1478
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty And we go

1479
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet, brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1480
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. On the tweet sheet,

1481
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: who are what would be the biggest factor in Josh

1482
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: Allen's second contract with the Buffalo Bills. Nicky Boy tweets

1483
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: in the offensive line will be key. Not only will

1484
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: good pass blocking help Allen in obvious ways, but good

1485
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 1: run blocking will indirectly help him too. A good running

1486
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: game will better set up the pass, the play action

1487
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: and deep passing game, which seems to be Allan's bread

1488
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,600
Speaker 1: and butter. All of that true. I cannot disagree with

1489
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: anything there, right, And then Nicky Boy says the offensive

1490
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: line will be key. Not only will good pass blocking

1491
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: help Alan in obvious ways, but good run blocking will

1492
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: indirectly help him too. A good running game will better

1493
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: set up the play action and deep passing game, which

1494
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: seems to be Alan's bread and butter. All that good

1495
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: stuff as well. This is a really good Twitter poll,

1496
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:22,600
Speaker 1: by the way, not because of everybody snarkily telling us

1497
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 1: that Josh is going to be the biggest effect on

1498
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: Josh as I shake my head out of coaching. He

1499
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: needs to be a line, He needs a line and playmakers.

1500
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: But we've seen great quarterbacks make their wide receiver and

1501
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: offensive line much better than they were with the right coaching.

1502
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: Josh can learn patients, take the easier throws, and elevate

1503
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: the play of skill players and the old line. So

1504
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 1: there's good, good, you know, rationalizations for all these choices

1505
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: on this Twitter poll and then and everybody's kind of

1506
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 1: chiming in. I'm actually see that the way. The thing

1507
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: that makes this a fun Twitter poll for me, Murph

1508
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: is when I envision in my minds what it's gonna

1509
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 1: look like if Josh Allen gets to his second contract

1510
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 1: and everybody's clamoring for him to sign this deal, like

1511
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 1: they're clamoring or waiting in anticipation for you know, like

1512
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia they're waiting on Carson Wentz or even the

1513
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: Sabers waiting for Skinner to sign a deal or is

1514
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: not sign a deal with that. When you've got a

1515
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 1: guy that man, there's a lot of people who think, man,

1516
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: you can't go on without this guy, no matter what

1517
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: the cost. You'd love to be in a position if

1518
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: you're the Buffalo Bills in two years to have people

1519
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: saying that about Josh Allen, absolutely no question, because it

1520
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: says a couple of things. One, he's proven it, he's

1521
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 1: the guy, and two the team's probably had a lot

1522
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: of success under him. Those are things that Bills fans

1523
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 1: would trade a lot for, right, So it's it's fun

1524
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: to think about what it's gonna look like when you've

1525
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys offensively, defensively, special teams, the

1526
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 1: whole whole nine yards who are flourishing. It's gonna be

1527
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: fun to see. Here's a tweet interesting thought from Rob

1528
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: spidel And when we ask what or who would be

1529
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 1: the biggest factor in Josh allen second contract with the Bills,

1530
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 1: robs By Nell says, Russell Wilson and Carson Wentz each

1531
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 1: owned a Super Bowl ring going into their second contract.

1532
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 1: So I think Josh Allen would need a super Bowl ring.

1533
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: That's a tall order. I don't. I think you'll need

1534
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: to play well. It'll need to. As the point of

1535
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: our our poll and our discussion today, he'll need to

1536
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: get help from others around him. But does he need

1537
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl ring to get a big

1538
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: second contract? I don't think so. Think about Jared Goff

1539
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have one. He's probably gonna get a second contract. Yeah,

1540
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean the dealer. It'd be nice to hit. Let's

1541
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: face it, you know that's what we don't like. Hey,

1542
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: what are you kidding me? No question? You can see scenarios.

1543
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers got a couple of bunch of contracts. He

1544
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: never went to his never got a ring, Um, so

1545
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: there's quarterbacks out there who it could have happened for

1546
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger had one before he got to a second contract. U. Yeah,

1547
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 1: you can. There's Yeah, that's a that's a pretty good criteria,

1548
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 1: no question. It might be too good, it might be

1549
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: too high a bar. That's what worries the dealers. You

1550
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 1: get these guys quarterbacks, especially their second quarterback, to prevent

1551
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: them from going out on the market. If there's progress

1552
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: and again we're talking about two years out here. If

1553
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 1: there's progress and the Bills are winning and Josh Allen

1554
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 1: is playing a major role in those wins, does he

1555
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: absolutely have to have a Super Bowl ring to get

1556
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: the second contract? I don't think so. You think about this,

1557
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton got a one hundred million dollars contract. Yeah,

1558
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: now that you could question that, right, Yeah, that's the

1559
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 1: that's the why, that's the reason you bring it up.

1560
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton did h Carson Palmer got one. Uh there

1561
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 1: was another guy was thinking of guys would never won

1562
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 1: super Bowls, made good money at quarterback exactly. That's the

1563
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: real issue. Do you do you want to you know,

1564
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: end up giving him a second contract like Andy Dalton? Uh?

1565
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:54,719
Speaker 1: You know, that's a that's something you gotta you know, sure, yeah,

1566
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a big question. But you're right.

1567
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: If he's got a super Bowl ring on his finger,

1568
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: yeah he gets the big deal, right, I guess, yeah,

1569
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: he gets the big contract. The Eagles had to choose, right,

1570
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 1: Folds didn't get a big contract from them, but he

1571
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 1: did get one got a super Bowl where he did

1572
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: get a pretty good contract. A break. Matt Mlanno coming

1586
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: doctors asking me a bunch of questions too, So yeah,

1588
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 1: It's great to see it. I saw you weeks ago,

1589
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 1: and you know how, you know, you feel like you're removed.

1590
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: After you get injured, you kind of drop off the radar.

1591
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: Nobody's easy. And the first time I saw you were

1592
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 1: out running one ten weeks ago. Ah, there he is,

1593
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 1: and you look like you were feeling good. Yeah, it's

1594
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 1: been a it's been a long journey, but feels finally

1595
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 1: good to be back out there with the team and

1596
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:18,679
Speaker 1: getting after it. And you're I asked you this before,

1597
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 1: but you're one hundred percent, no restrictions, you feel great,

1598
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 1: no pain in the in the leg, nothing exactly. Yep.

1599
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: So you're one hundred, one hundred percent. You don't believe

1600
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 1: them hundred and five right now? Okay, it's great to

1601
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:35,679
Speaker 1: hear man. Listen, it's I remember I had I've got

1602
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 1: commemorative knee braces that I can't have in my house.

1603
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 1: Yeah no, but with all jokes aside, it does feel good.

1604
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: The most serious in year you remember had playing football, man, Yeah,

1605
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 1: first first surgery you have had. And there was a

1606
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: story about with the paper the other day and it

1607
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 1: kind of brought him and I don't know if you

1608
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 1: read it, but it reminded me of that. Just the

1609
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: exquisitely bad timing right the Jets, your position to keep

1610
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: minut of the end zone, win that game, and then

1611
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 1: you go out and the game fell apart and boy

1612
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:05,360
Speaker 1: into the Jets late in the season like that just hurt. Always, always, Yeah,

1613
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: so give us when was I know it? Obviously the

1614
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: moment it happened, yeh was stinks because then you're frustrated

1615
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,440
Speaker 1: and you realize how much you've lost in the opportunity,

1616
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, the last three games of the season. Now

1617
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 1: you're you're out. What was the worst part? The worst

1618
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: part was just not being out there with the team

1619
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: to finish off the season. And then obviously after the surgery,

1620
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,600
Speaker 1: those six weeks without being able to walk. UM was

1621
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: definitely a hard time. But um, just staying mentally strong

1622
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 1: through it all was one of the biggest things that

1623
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: helped me out. Did that mean you spent most of

1624
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,639
Speaker 1: the offseason here locally in Buffalo? Yeah, I'm just staying

1625
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 1: here with the athletic staff and trainers and just rehabbing

1626
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 1: all day. Yeah, any day in some sense. I mean,

1627
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 1: most of your teammates are gone. We're talking about month

1628
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:51,600
Speaker 1: of January February, right, so that's got to make it

1629
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:53,760
Speaker 1: a little more difficult. Plus the weather is not a

1630
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 1: prize in January. Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't the best.

1631
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 1: I was snowed in a few days travel advisory or

1632
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: warnings or whatever they're called. But other than that, it

1633
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: was good. You knew it immediately when it happened, correct, Yeah,

1634
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,719
Speaker 1: I knew something was wrong immediately. I didn't know exactly

1635
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: what it was. You didn't know it was broken. You

1636
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: just thought maybe, Yeah, I just something just wasn't right.

1637
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: How did you find yourself getting through that period again

1638
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: one of the few players around and yeah, nothing to

1639
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: do but rehabbing to take it easy. Yeah, honestly, I

1640
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: don't really don't know. I mean, the training staff we

1641
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: have here is fantastic. I became friends with a lot

1642
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: of those guys in there. They kind of helped me

1643
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: through the whole thing. So I guess just the company

1644
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,719
Speaker 1: I had around me at the time. I had people

1645
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: come and visiting me. So just like I said before,

1646
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: keeping my mind clear and not letting other distractions and

1647
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: things get to me. It was the biggest thing for me.

1648
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 1: Part of the thing that makes you know this better

1649
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:45,719
Speaker 1: organization the some is the quality of the medical staff

1650
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: and now this facility. Did you get a chance to

1651
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 1: take advantage of that a little bit or some of

1652
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: the stuff they had available but not Yeah, a little bit.

1653
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean I got to see it all being built,

1654
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,680
Speaker 1: and then once started we got in there. But now

1655
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: it's been it's been great. Everything I need was right here,

1656
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 1: so I didn't have to go anywhere else for that.

1657
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 1: So the injury occurred so late in the season. You

1658
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 1: had put together really a strong twenty eighteen season, and

1659
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,639
Speaker 1: you're all around the ball seventy five or more tackles,

1660
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: three or more interception, three or more fumble recoveries. The

1661
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: only player in the NFL they have those kind of numbers.

1662
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:19,600
Speaker 1: Were you inticipating that sort of playmaking ability when you

1663
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 1: came to the Bills as a fifth round pick? Definitely.

1664
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 1: I just knew once I got on that field, I

1665
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: knew what I can do from when I was in college.

1666
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: So just trying to transfer that over and then once

1667
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:30,719
Speaker 1: I got a few going, that momentum kind of carried

1668
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: me throughout the season. So I think that just continuing

1669
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 1: every play, just to have that mindset of being around

1670
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: the ball, making plays, picks, fumbles, whatever it is. Our coach,

1671
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 1: our linebackers coach, Bob Babbage preaches about it every day.

1672
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: Just make plays. That's all he really asks for, and

1673
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: that's what we did. What is it about this defense

1674
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: to put you around the ball and your positioning this

1675
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: m Yeah, so my position is kind of similar to

1676
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: the nickel position, which are varied two key positions in

1677
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: mcdermot's defense. But um, I just think they they set

1678
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 1: you success. That's his job throughout the throughout the weeks

1679
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,200
Speaker 1: to get me ready to be in those positions and

1680
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: then once I get in those positions to app actually

1681
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: make the plays. So I think that just being those roles,

1682
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,639
Speaker 1: the Will and Nicol and then the Nicol and Nicol

1683
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 1: as well, those two guys are the key guys who

1684
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: are expected to make plays. So you're coming into your

1685
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: third year, now you're not You're like not even a

1686
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: young guy anymore. You're a veteran even in this system, especially,

1687
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: so you know how does that change your perspective coming

1688
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,519
Speaker 1: off a tough injury play most of two years? If not,

1689
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: you know most all of it? Yeah? Yeah, how does

1690
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 1: that change your perspective coming into training camp? Um, it's

1691
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: just little things, cleaning up little things. No longer is

1692
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: it okay to make the same mistakes over and over.

1693
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: Just taking all that out and then um, kind of

1694
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: going further than just what play is called, but recognizing formation,

1695
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 1: is recognizing um uh, coverages, recognizing little stuff like that

1696
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 1: that normally when you're young, you just think about what

1697
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: the play is called and what that play is. But

1698
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 1: just taking it to the next step, I think for

1699
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 1: me is the biggest what you see is the next

1700
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: step for this Buffalo defense second the league last year,

1701
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: but number one, number one, that's the goal. Yeah, and

1702
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 1: win a championship. Obviously some of your teammateship getting here

1703
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 1: and talked about how I feel like you could do

1704
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: better in the red zone defensively, you had a red

1705
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: zone and stopping the run and then takeaways, taking them

1706
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: all away. What's the key in the red zone? UM?

1707
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 1: I think just understanding what they're what they're trying to do.

1708
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:23,679
Speaker 1: And then first and foremost is not letting them run

1709
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: the ball in. That just takes the heart out of

1710
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 1: any defense, is letting somebody run it in. Um. Not

1711
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 1: that's passing it in as any better, but just initially

1712
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: stopping that run. So you're out there and you're starting

1713
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: linebacker now and you're gonna go into your third year.

1714
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 1: Last year you had a rookie inside of Tremaine Edmunds

1715
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: talk about his progress came a long way. Um. I

1716
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: think when when you're a rookie, you're still kind of

1717
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: um learning the defense. But I feel like he has

1718
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 1: a fantastic grasp it right right now and just him

1719
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: as well. It's been making plays all the tays. He

1720
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 1: seems like a guy who could get takeaways Tremaine the

1721
01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: morning he gets into it right. But length is his

1722
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 1: body is yeah, tremendous six whatever since five six six

1723
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 1: and his wingspan. But it's hard for those quarterbacks that

1724
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:06,640
Speaker 1: throw over him in the middle of I don't know

1725
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: how you throw over to the presence that they've had

1726
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: a problem with that. UM in the OTA so far,

1727
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 1: how has it gone in terms of this team, this defense?

1728
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: What have you seen from your teammates so Um, just

1729
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: a lot of guys flying around a lot of guys

1730
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: making plays in the ball. That's been the emphasis is

1731
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 1: just getting takeaways and making sure everybody is running through

1732
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 1: the ball because you never know what could happen, somebody

1733
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 1: strips it out, whatever it may be. But just um,

1734
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 1: good things happen when when you do that. So we've

1735
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 1: had this debate UM off and on over this offseason.

1736
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: You're a linebacker, so you're between the defensive front. You

1737
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: sometimes rush the passer, but you also drop into coverage. Yeah,

1738
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 1: what do you think is better? The analytics guys say

1739
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: coverage is more important than pass rush. Where do you

1740
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: fall on that debate? Um, I think it depends what

1741
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 1: linebacker you're talking about, because those edge rushes are sometimes

1742
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: considered outside linebackers. But for my position, I believe that

1743
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: definitely coverage is more important. But I feel like the

1744
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: guy who can do both cover and rush the pastor

1745
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 1: is the one who's getting that top spot. So what's

1746
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 1: the challenge. What's the most typicult part of dropping into coverage?

1747
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: What do you find to be the most just I

1748
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: would say man coverage taking a step further than just

1749
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: dropping into his own because his own you're not really

1750
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:18,920
Speaker 1: you have your area to cover, but once you're man

1751
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: to man, it's you versed that other guy, and the

1752
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: other guy is typically a running back for you or

1753
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 1: running back tight end, and then some occasionally a receiver

1754
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,719
Speaker 1: depending on if they put us in the funky formation.

1755
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 1: What's going to look different about this defense this coming

1756
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 1: year that we maybe haven't seen before or is I mean,

1757
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 1: continues to evolve. It's a third year in this in

1758
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 1: this system, and you would think that it evolves somewhat. Yep.

1759
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is just sharpening up everything. Um,

1760
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 1: not a lot of bus not a lot of um

1761
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 1: errors and this guy's making plays on the ball. I

1762
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: think that's been the biggest Um. The biggest thing coming

1763
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 1: off last season is just guys playing the ball better.

1764
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, those are my things. Do you guys

1765
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: expect to pick up where you left off? Do you

1766
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 1: expected or a step forward? I mean it's like sometimes

1767
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 1: with some new faces you got to add all over

1768
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:08,560
Speaker 1: coming in. I gotta you know, maybe Kevin Johnson or

1769
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 1: somebody else playing in the other corner something. Yeah, it's

1770
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 1: not very many. Should you be able to take a

1771
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 1: big step forward this year? Yeah? I think it should

1772
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: be a big step forward. Um. Just everybody's been three

1773
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 1: years since the defense has been here, so I think

1774
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: everybody has a pretty good concept of it. In previous years,

1775
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 1: we were starting from fresh so when I first got here,

1776
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 1: coaches were just learning the defense. We were just learning it.

1777
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 1: And now we're on year three with players and coaches

1778
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: guys who have all been around. So I think just

1779
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:35,920
Speaker 1: that alone, it's a big step. This year's draft pick,

1780
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 1: Vante Joseph is he backing you up? Or is he yes?

1781
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 1: Do you think of him? What do you see from

1782
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,599
Speaker 1: He's good, He's got a lot of skills, very fast,

1783
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: very quick guy. And for him right now, he's just

1784
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 1: learning the playbook, which is the biggest thing. Hey man,

1785
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 1: I read the story about you, and I got thinking

1786
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: about I admire you cut your football right. You're a

1787
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: great player. I admire the way you don't have too

1788
01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: many possessions, and that was the focus of a story

1789
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo News. Even in the bills of media guide.

1790
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: You are a self proclaimed minimalist pay to Buffalo last

1791
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,799
Speaker 1: year with only one suitcase? Is that true? That is true?

1792
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:09,679
Speaker 1: How do you do that? I'll see I hate packing

1793
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: and carrying bags on planes all the time. How do

1794
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 1: you get it down? I guess the philosophy of minimalism

1795
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: is just living with less and kind of not living

1796
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 1: off your possessions, but more about your experiences that you make.

1797
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 1: So that's just been my philosophy since I've been in college.

1798
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 1: So do you not spend a lot of time at home?

1799
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So? Do you have a place,

1800
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 1: but you like to go out and see and do. Yeah,

1801
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:36,439
Speaker 1: during my season, I'm kind of at home, kind of

1802
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:38,680
Speaker 1: in the playbook and stuff. But when I'm not in

1803
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 1: season and stuff, I like to get out, adventure out

1804
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: and see what's going on in the world. A world

1805
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 1: traveler or a local traveler, I'm both. I haven't been

1806
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 1: out of the country too many times. Been Ireland, been

1807
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:52,720
Speaker 1: to South America a couple of times, but other than that,

1808
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: just around Florida, New York, Boston area lay self proclaimed minimalists.

1809
01:28:57,840 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 1: So you've given this thought. This is not just the

1810
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,680
Speaker 1: way roles for you. I got a blown out of

1811
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 1: proportion in the media guys. Okay, the media guys one line,

1812
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: but the Buffalo News and that in that last article. Yeah,

1813
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: but um yeah, I was I would see myself as

1814
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: that for sure is that a lifelong philosophy you'll ever have.

1815
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm always open to new experiences and

1816
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 1: new and new things. So something comes across my table

1817
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 1: and I'm interested in it, and I'll definitely go for it.

1818
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:24,680
Speaker 1: But right now, that's where my head's at. Does that

1819
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:27,040
Speaker 1: help you in football at all? Thinking that way? I

1820
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:29,519
Speaker 1: think so. UM. I think I also mentioned this in

1821
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 1: the article. It is just when you're not you don't

1822
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of things going on in your personal life. UM.

1823
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,160
Speaker 1: I think it allows you to focus in on the

1824
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 1: job at hand at that specific moment. I think once

1825
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:40,840
Speaker 1: you're at home and you have stuff going on and

1826
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:43,600
Speaker 1: things are on your mind, it can really take a

1827
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:45,680
Speaker 1: toll on you when you're out there in a crucial situation.

1828
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: So that's just been my philosophy. And one more question

1829
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 1: about this. I'm fascinated by this. You have a phone, Yeah,

1830
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 1: I see it. Yeah, how do you Because people get

1831
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: caught up in their phone sometimes, right, people get caught

1832
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 1: up in oh, what did this person say? What did

1833
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 1: that person say? Or what's what's being we eat it up?

1834
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 1: How do you avoid that? Um? I mean how many

1835
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: apps do you have on your phone? Are you are

1836
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 1: a ton of apps or do you have like one

1837
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 1: or two that you go to because this seems like

1838
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,560
Speaker 1: this is speaks to your minimals. Let me see the

1839
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 1: face of your phone's through your flips, through your homepage.

1840
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty minimal. Yeah, that's that's it. Yeah, you got

1841
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 1: like less than two. Yeah, you don't need much. Oh

1842
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,000
Speaker 1: my god, that's all I have. I got, like I know,

01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:19,839
Speaker 1: the Eagles signed franchise quarterback Carson Wentz four year extension.

1897
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:21,879
Speaker 1: To talk about it. We've got on the line, the

1898
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:25,600

1899
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. He covers the Eagles for WIP Radio on

1900
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,519
Speaker 1: a variety of different platforms in Philadelphia. Happy to have

1901
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 1: Howard Eskin on the line, Howard, John Murphy's team tasker

1902
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:36,679
Speaker 1: up here in Buffalo. Thank you very much. Hey John,

1903
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 1: you're probably right about the best sideline reporter. So as

1904
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 1: I was saying it, I thought, oh Man Sal might

1905
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,759
Speaker 1: be listening to salth He's talking about SalCo. Yeah, Sal,

1906
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 1: he thinks you're talking about Salpal. No, Sal Kapacco, Man

1907
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 1: Sal here in Buffalo. No, Howard, you doing a great

1908
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:56,880
Speaker 1: down a you been the sideline How are you been

1909
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:01,000
Speaker 1: the sideline guy with the Eagles? You know what? Since

1910
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles allowed it, I guess it's been seven. This

1911
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 1: is probably the eighth year I've done it. Okay, and

1912
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:09,880
Speaker 1: I missed the last Super Bowl, but I didn't miss

1913
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:14,800
Speaker 1: this one, so it was it was a great experience.

1914
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 1: Mean while the year they won the Super Bowl, and

1915
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining, I had a second degree hamstring caere

1916
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 1: and I had a broken leg. Tory Smith broke my

1917
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:29,640
Speaker 1: leg on Christmas night. I thought, Stephen, you know you

1918
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 1: know this. I thought I was falling up out of

1919
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 1: bounds and all of a sudden it was a late hit,

1920
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:36,080
Speaker 1: which should have been a flag. It was the first

1921
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:38,600
Speaker 1: or second offensive play of the game. It should have

1922
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 1: been a late hit. But that doesn't help me. Howard,

1923
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 1: They're they're not gonna throw a flag on you. Howard,

1924
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: You're they don't. It doesn't matter if they're unnecessary, really

1925
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 1: rough on you. But Tory Smith relaxed kicked my leg,

1926
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: and I was so sore. I thought it was I

1927
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 1: thought it was my castle, and I said, when it

1928
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 1: didn't get black and blue in ten days. I had

1929
01:34:57,080 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 1: one of the doctors, who's also a Sixers doctor, something

1930
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:02,200
Speaker 1: wrong here, so he took me in for an X

1931
01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:04,800
Speaker 1: ray and my fibula was completely cracked. So the five

1932
01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:07,720
Speaker 1: games through the Super Bowl, I had a broken leg.

1933
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 1: But because it's a nine weight bearing bone. It was painful,

1934
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:13,679
Speaker 1: but I could do it without a king. You can't

1935
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,120
Speaker 1: be on the sidelines with the castle, so I was

1936
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:20,080
Speaker 1: a trooper. But it was the best experience. And I've

1937
01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:22,519
Speaker 1: covered sports a long time. Here in Philadelphia was probably

1938
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:26,600
Speaker 1: the best experience that I've ever had. World Series Stanley Cups,

1939
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, But to win a World Series was great.

1940
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 1: But to win a Super Bowl and be there when

1941
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:36,599
Speaker 1: it's all going on on the sidelines was an unbelievable experience.

1942
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 1: Take when you're on the sidelines and the and the

1943
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,680
Speaker 1: traffic's coming at you, the best thing to do is

1944
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 1: treat it. And I grew up in Kansas and Tornado Alley,

1945
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:46,679
Speaker 1: So here's what you do. You got to run ninety

1946
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:49,400
Speaker 1: degree to the PA to the traffic. If it's coming

1947
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:51,479
Speaker 1: at you, you run right or left. Do not turn

1948
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:55,800
Speaker 1: around and run backwards because it'll chase you. I did run.

1949
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 1: I did run right. But the way he swung them

1950
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 1: round and Tory Smith relaxed and his leg whipped it

1951
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:09,960
Speaker 1: was regardless. Regardless, I thought I was safe and then

1952
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, but that's it was all good. It's

1953
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 1: just part of the experience and part of watching this

1954
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:21,520
Speaker 1: team do something that had never been done before in Philadelphia,

1955
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:23,719
Speaker 1: and that was win a Super Bowl. I was esking

1956
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:25,599
Speaker 1: on the line with a sideline reporter on the Eagles

1957
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 1: radio network here to talk about Carson Wentz and Howard.

1958
01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:30,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate Carson Wentz. I love the guy. I love

1959
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:33,360
Speaker 1: his approach, I love his demeanor. I like how what

1960
01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 1: a gamer he is. But he has had injuries, right,

1961
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:39,679
Speaker 1: He's missed one eight games over the last two seasons,

1962
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 1: five of them last year. That did that make it

1963
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 1: any harder for the Eagles to justify the kind of

1964
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 1: contract they just shelled out for him. No, because they

1965
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't have done it if in talking to the people

1966
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 1: in the organization they believe he's he's completely healthy. Now.

1967
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,639
Speaker 1: Ten quarterbacks get hurt, sure, I mean anybody on football

1968
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,200
Speaker 1: field can get hurt. It's not an easy sport, and

1969
01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:02,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks get hurt. But I think he'll play a little

1970
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 1: bit differently. But they have no reservations. I'll give you

1971
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,520
Speaker 1: kind of a side like to that. Everybody session in Philadelphia.

1972
01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 1: These people whine like babies. If you're scared, get a dog.

1973
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean they really do whine like babies. Sure, Oh,

1974
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 1: you know he's going to be heard. He's always gonna

1975
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:18,800
Speaker 1: be heard. You can't sign him. Now that they do

1976
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: sign him, most people are happy, but you always get

1977
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:23,560
Speaker 1: those people, Oh, he's going to be injured. Well, the

1978
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:29,280
Speaker 1: reality is I've watched him at these voluntary these OTAs

1979
01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:33,080
Speaker 1: voluntary camps. He looks fine. I mean I don't see

1980
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 1: any hesitation, no knee braves, know nothing, and he looks

1981
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 1: fine running around. Now again, there's no pass rush, and

1982
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:43,680
Speaker 1: I understand that. But as a sidelight, he had a

1983
01:37:43,760 --> 01:37:48,679
Speaker 1: charity softball game on Friday, and there was He didn't play,

1984
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 1: He was the coach of the offense. He participated in

1985
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 1: the practice, the warm ups, the batting practice for the

1986
01:37:56,439 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: home running in contest. So I just kind of I

1987
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 1: wanted to watch him because there's more torque on your

1988
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:04,719
Speaker 1: back wo either a golf swing or a baseball swing.

1989
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 1: And he was swinging hard, not one problem, and that

1990
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:11,479
Speaker 1: tells me he feels great. Now can he get hit? Sure,

1991
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,800
Speaker 1: he can get hit. I don't have any reservations. He

1992
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:15,720
Speaker 1: was the MVP of the Super Bowl year. I don't

1993
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 1: care if he mistery games or not. He was the

1994
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:21,400
Speaker 1: MVP with his numbers and without him. I know what

1995
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:23,880
Speaker 1: Nick Foles did, and I love him. Nick was played

1996
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:27,599
Speaker 1: and he was I've never never seen a player at

1997
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:31,280
Speaker 1: that position so relaxed in that kind of game as

1998
01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:35,640
Speaker 1: he was. But Carson Wentz is better. Carson Wentz is

1999
01:38:35,680 --> 01:38:38,840
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback and they wouldn't have been and

2000
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 1: gotten to the super Bowl without Carson Wentz. So I

2001
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:44,280
Speaker 1: have no he's going to have Where do you see

2002
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:47,800
Speaker 1: this offense? And you'll see it because the Eagles play

2003
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:50,719
Speaker 1: up there in Buffalo. You're lucky. The Bills are lucky

2004
01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:54,599
Speaker 1: because they get the Eagles on the third straight road

2005
01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 1: game of a three game road trip after two tough

2006
01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 1: conference games against Green Bay in Minnesota. So you may

2007
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 1: not see the real Eagles. But this offense, because it's

2008
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:07,560
Speaker 1: that third game on the third raight road game, is

2009
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 1: just it's brutal. Uh. And I know Buffalo has got

2010
01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 1: a good defense, so it could be different. But you're

2011
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:15,880
Speaker 1: going to see an offense from the Eagles because they

2012
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:18,639
Speaker 1: got him the Sean Jackson, they got him some weapons

2013
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:23,560
Speaker 1: and Dallas Goddard, the tight end that they drafted a

2014
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 1: year ago. I can see in camp again it's still

2015
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:30,439
Speaker 1: it's still a Minican, but how much better. It looks

2016
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 1: like he's gotten. They're gonna put guys all over the place.

2017
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 1: They're going to put them in the slot, tight ends

2018
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: in the slot, which you can do with arts. They're

2019
01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna do it with Goddard. You've got the Sean Jackson,

2020
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 1: all Sean Jeffrey and Nelson agilar is still a very

2021
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:45,560
Speaker 1: good receiver. You're gonna see a lot going on with

2022
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:48,760
Speaker 1: that offense. And that's going to make Carson Wentz I

2023
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 1: think even better. Can they build a good enough roster

2024
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball? Now they've gave and

2025
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: that's the big race, right, You get this young quarterback

2026
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:59,000
Speaker 1: and you try and make hay while he's cheap, you know,

2027
01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 1: playing quarterback in a high level for no money. And

2028
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 1: then doesn't the philosophy have to change once you give

2029
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 1: him the big money, there's there's less money to build

2030
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 1: a roster around him. What do the Eagles think about that? Well,

2031
01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 1: they do it. They really do. Numbers people, and it's

2032
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:17,559
Speaker 1: Hawie Rosman, who is another guy in the front office.

2033
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,760
Speaker 1: Dack Rosenberg can do a very very good job of

2034
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:23,240
Speaker 1: figuring it out. If you average this number, and I

2035
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 1: don't know what it comes down to each year, it's

2036
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,719
Speaker 1: an average of twenty four and a half million dollars

2037
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:31,200
Speaker 1: a year, which for a top a franchise quarterback, a

2038
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:34,640
Speaker 1: top flight quarterback, and that's what he is, that's not

2039
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:38,559
Speaker 1: a bad number. So they obviously know that and feel

2040
01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: that they can build a roster around it. The one

2041
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 1: thing that's not going to happen Malcolm Jenkins has stayed

2042
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,599
Speaker 1: out of these Boling Ferry camps. But I was told

2043
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:50,120
Speaker 1: he's not going to be there Tuesday when its mandatory,

2044
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:53,040
Speaker 1: and he wants a lot more money in his first year,

2045
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:55,560
Speaker 1: and at thirty one years old, he's not going to

2046
01:40:55,680 --> 01:41:00,600
Speaker 1: get it because they have to football teams, Steve, you

2047
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 1: know when you when you get older, they look for

2048
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:06,360
Speaker 1: younger players because you can't hold a roster spot and

2049
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 1: get rid of a younger player who might be there

2050
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:13,760
Speaker 1: for the next six to eight years. And you can't.

2051
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 1: And Malcolm Jenkins is going to be here, But you

2052
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:18,760
Speaker 1: can't start giving money away just because the guy thinks

2053
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:21,639
Speaker 1: he's one of the top two safeties in the league,

2054
01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:26,320
Speaker 1: which at this point he's not very Studies eight high

2055
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 1: is paid and that will be probably an issue for

2056
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:32,120
Speaker 1: a while. They I guarantee it will be intent. But

2057
01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:34,759
Speaker 1: they have enough money the way they set up Carson

2058
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:38,439
Speaker 1: Wentz's contract to be able to and you know, the

2059
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:41,599
Speaker 1: cap always goes up to be able to keep and

2060
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:45,880
Speaker 1: get other players. And I have no questions they had

2061
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:47,640
Speaker 1: figured this out with the way they did it. It's

2062
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 1: a win win for both people. Well, persons got one

2063
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: hundred and seven guaranteed one hundred seven million, and it's

2064
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 1: only averaging about twenty point and a half million dollars

2065
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 1: a year. Right, We've got a question up here. We've

2066
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,680
Speaker 1: got our own rookie quarterback. Hopefully he'd taken the same

2067
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of step that Carson Wentz did in his second year.

2068
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,840
Speaker 1: What was the big difference or contributing factor for Winz

2069
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 1: when he went from you know, this rookie to an

2070
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:14,719
Speaker 1: MVP candidate. You know, I don't know that just because

2071
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:17,559
Speaker 1: he's a rookie quarterback. You can look at that. He's

2072
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: obviously all these guys work hard, because if they don't,

2073
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:24,080
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have gotten or they shouldn't be in the NFL.

2074
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:28,720
Speaker 1: And he's a hard worker. He's got very good instincts,

2075
01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:31,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's an important part of what he

2076
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:37,439
Speaker 1: does his instincts and he knows. I think the toughest

2077
01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 1: thing for a quarterback is no one to hold him

2078
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:41,240
Speaker 1: and no one to fold him. And he would run.

2079
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:44,040
Speaker 1: But now he's going to have to adjust to less

2080
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:46,680
Speaker 1: running and running out of bounds, and I get it.

2081
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:51,439
Speaker 1: But he just he's got skills. Sometimes you draft the

2082
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:54,160
Speaker 1: quarterback high and you say, well, okay, well he's not

2083
01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 1: as good as he thought he was, but you still

2084
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 1: have to take the shot. The Eagles actually were happy

2085
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:02,960
Speaker 1: it went Spell the number two because they liked him

2086
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more. They like God, but they like

2087
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz a little bit more than God when they

2088
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 1: are both selected one two. God was one and he

2089
01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:13,920
Speaker 1: was two. But it's just his his work ethic and

2090
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:18,280
Speaker 1: the instincts and the skills. And he's big, he's just

2091
01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:22,600
Speaker 1: he's God. He's big, he's fast, and you kind of

2092
01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:27,080
Speaker 1: look at him and it almost becomes like this guy

2093
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:30,639
Speaker 1: knows naturally what he has to do. And I think

2094
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 1: in any in any sport, instincts are a big part

2095
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 1: of it, certainly at that skills. But he just worked

2096
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 1: hard and did whatever you have to do. And here's

2097
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:42,439
Speaker 1: another thing, and there's just nothing against the head coach,

2098
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 1: because I really liked Sean McDermott, really really liked them. However,

2099
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 1: when you have a quarterback as your head coach and

2100
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 1: he understands, you know, the things, the problems you have,

2101
01:43:54,920 --> 01:44:00,599
Speaker 1: he make he puts his playbook together to suit Arson Wentz.

2102
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,760
Speaker 1: We're unlike Chip Kelly. He did it. Chip Kelly did

2103
01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:06,040
Speaker 1: it the way he wanted to do it. Doug does

2104
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: it where it fits his player. And to have a

2105
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 1: quarterback and a former quarterback and an understanding and don't

2106
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:16,240
Speaker 1: don't forget Douck Peterson played under Marino and he played

2107
01:44:16,320 --> 01:44:18,680
Speaker 1: under far So he played under some good guys. He's

2108
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 1: played under some great coaches, and Andy Reid has just

2109
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:24,840
Speaker 1: churned him out. You guys have one of them. He

2110
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:29,960
Speaker 1: he just has the white head coach for what he

2111
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,320
Speaker 1: needs to do. And I think that's an important part

2112
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 1: of it. With Howard Eskin, he's the sideline reporter on

2113
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:38,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles radio network talking about the Carson Wentsteel, I'm

2114
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 1: interested in your evaluation of the Eagles in general. And

2115
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, Wentz gets into his second contract now, so

2116
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 1: he's moving into his fourth year. But as you look

2117
01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:48,000
Speaker 1: at the Eagles, first of all, do you believe in

2118
01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 1: the concept of a window for Super Bowl contention? And

2119
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 1: if so, where are the Eagles in that window? Are

2120
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: they early in that window? Are they mid window? Are

2121
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:58,559
Speaker 1: they nearing the end? What do you think? Well, when

2122
01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:01,240
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback that's twenty fi years old and

2123
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:05,000
Speaker 1: they usually last longer, and again barring injury, and I'm

2124
01:45:05,040 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 1: not concerned about that because he's had past injury, but

2125
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:11,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks can get hit. But I think they're earlier in

2126
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:14,519
Speaker 1: that window. They have a Super Bowl I think in

2127
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:18,200
Speaker 1: the next four to five years. And again they have

2128
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 1: to do the right things in building and building the

2129
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 1: right players on the team, make sure making sure the

2130
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:27,639
Speaker 1: defense is good enough, but offenses is really a big

2131
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:30,599
Speaker 1: part of the game anymore. I just think they in

2132
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 1: the next five years. I would not be shocked. I'm

2133
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:34,800
Speaker 1: not saying they're going to do it. I would not

2134
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,719
Speaker 1: be shocked if they get at least two Super Bowls

2135
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 1: in the next five years. Because when you look at

2136
01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:44,439
Speaker 1: the NFC, the division sucks. I mean, Dallas Cowboys are frauds.

2137
01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just face it, Dak Prescott is a

2138
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:50,720
Speaker 1: one year one. They're total fraud, total fraud. It's just

2139
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:54,599
Speaker 1: without without that offensive line the first year and then

2140
01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:56,320
Speaker 1: they could just run the ball and run the ball.

2141
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 1: So I hope they get Dak Prescott at thirty five

2142
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 1: million a year contracted strapped themselves for years, because that'll

2143
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:06,599
Speaker 1: screw them up for years. So the Giants, if they're

2144
01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:08,559
Speaker 1: going to sit there and play with Shiel, I'm adding,

2145
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean Eli Matt, and they keep on playing, playing

2146
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 1: with him, mister softie, and they think he's going to

2147
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 1: be the quarterback, they're out of it. The Redskins are

2148
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:23,599
Speaker 1: a disaster. They are a disaster. So the division's really good.

2149
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:26,040
Speaker 1: And I saw it last year to get to a

2150
01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:29,759
Speaker 1: super Bowl and Steve, I know the Bills did it

2151
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 1: for all those years. Those years when they got there,

2152
01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 1: you've got to have home field, and it set up

2153
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 1: was a little bit different. I saw how important to

2154
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 1: home field. The buy is really important. The home fields

2155
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:41,439
Speaker 1: really important. That's why the Patriots got to so many

2156
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:44,479
Speaker 1: super Bowls because they played in such an awful division.

2157
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:48,160
Speaker 1: They always had an advantage and they got home field.

2158
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:51,400
Speaker 1: That record got them the super Bowls. I mean, Tom

2159
01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:55,280
Speaker 1: Brady's terrific. I understand that. But by playing in that

2160
01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:58,639
Speaker 1: division and help and if the Eagles, if the division

2161
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:00,519
Speaker 1: is the same way, the Eagles are going to have

2162
01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:03,920
Speaker 1: really good opportunities. Green Bay, I don't know where Green

2163
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:09,120
Speaker 1: Bay is. Minnesota. What's going on with Minnesota? They had

2164
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 1: that one year shot Atlanta. I love Matt Ryan. Uh

2165
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy that played football high school

2166
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:18,200
Speaker 1: here in Philadelphia, and I know Matt and his family.

2167
01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:21,559
Speaker 1: I think he had his opportunity. So when you look

2168
01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:23,920
Speaker 1: at the division, is San Francisco gonna be good enough?

2169
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:26,600
Speaker 1: I kind of look at them, Seattle's Seattles. At the

2170
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 1: end of the line, you can say what you want.

2171
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:33,559
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had great field position. He's a really good quarterback.

2172
01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:37,320
Speaker 1: But I always look at that field position and I said, boy,

2173
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 1: he always had a short field to work with. And

2174
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:44,040
Speaker 1: those days are over. So when we look at the NFC,

2175
01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 1: who emerges out of the out of the NFC, out

2176
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 1: of this conference. Yeah, it's really all It's really all

2177
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:53,559
Speaker 1: about the Eagles, the Saints, and the Rams. Correct, right, yep.

2178
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:57,680
Speaker 1: From your prospective, Breeze is forty years old, So I

2179
01:47:57,720 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 1: guess he's forty years always somewhere in that area. But

2180
01:47:59,880 --> 01:48:02,240
Speaker 1: I love that Drew Brees is terrific. But yeah, and

2181
01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:05,719
Speaker 1: the Rams, the Rams, boy that they choked. Oh my god,

2182
01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:08,639
Speaker 1: I wanted to It's just I can't stand the cheating

2183
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:13,720
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Rams just choked. It's just but the

2184
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:16,920
Speaker 1: Rams are a team that you have to you have

2185
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 1: to look at it. There's not that many, but if

2186
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:21,640
Speaker 1: you get the home field and you have the advantage

2187
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:25,160
Speaker 1: by playing in a week a week division, it really

2188
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:27,080
Speaker 1: is important when it comes to the playoffs. And that

2189
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:31,040
Speaker 1: is how I figure into in some of these things

2190
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:32,920
Speaker 1: with where the I think the Eagles can go over

2191
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:36,599
Speaker 1: the next five years. Hey, Howard, should Bills I got

2192
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:39,200
Speaker 1: the last question I have for you. Should Bills fans

2193
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,200
Speaker 1: be concerned if the Jets go out and hire Joe

2194
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 1: Douglas as their new general manager the Eagles player personnel guy. Yeah,

2195
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 1: but the Jets are still the Jets screwed up. You know,

2196
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:53,400
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas is really good, a really good personnel guy.

2197
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:55,680
Speaker 1: He really could be good for him. But unless he

2198
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 1: gets final say, and I assume it's got to be

2199
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 1: in the contract, he's not going. So we'll see how

2200
01:49:01,439 --> 01:49:05,400
Speaker 1: that plays out. That. Yes, but the Jets they have

2201
01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback who's got a chance and you need the quarterback,

2202
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:11,600
Speaker 1: and Joe Douglass is good, but the Jets are so

2203
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 1: screwed up. But once Brady's done and it's open to everybody.

2204
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:17,640
Speaker 1: So and you know, I don't know how long. I

2205
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of vitams he takes, but I

2206
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:21,000
Speaker 1: don't know how a guy throws the ball harder at

2207
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 1: forty two and did it thirty five. But regardless of

2208
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:27,680
Speaker 1: all that, Brady's not going to play forever. So you know,

2209
01:49:27,800 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 1: that'll open it up for everybody else and the Jets

2210
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:36,599
Speaker 1: could be one of the better teams in the division. Yeah,

2211
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for you guys because I like the people

2212
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:41,080
Speaker 1: that work for you. I like that, I really like

2213
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:45,439
Speaker 1: the head coach. So it'll open up, but it might

2214
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:48,080
Speaker 1: take a couple of years. Although I said this last year,

2215
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 1: I don't think the Patriots are gone back to the

2216
01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:52,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl this year. Everybody just mails it in and

2217
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 1: says they're going there. But Joe Douglas, if he goes

2218
01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 1: to the Jets, will help them unless they just screw

2219
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:01,760
Speaker 1: it up like they they seem to always do. And

2220
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm not an Adam Gays fan, so uh, we'll see

2221
01:50:05,120 --> 01:50:07,519
Speaker 1: how that all plays. Out as well. Hey Howard, thanks

2222
01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:10,840
Speaker 1: for this great talking with you, Thanks for illuminating. Yeah,

2223
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 1: by the way, you guys rip lee High Valley Iron No, no, no,

2224
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:18,200
Speaker 1: I just don't have any le High Valley gear to

2225
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:22,679
Speaker 1: demons too. That's what we really missed. We need some swag. Well.

2226
01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:25,879
Speaker 1: Lehigh Valley has one of the top twenty golf courses

2227
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 1: in the world in the Lehigh Valley. Uh, it's about

2228
01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 1: two minutes away from where the Eagles used to train

2229
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:35,280
Speaker 1: sac And Valley. So that's the best thing about Lehigh

2230
01:50:35,320 --> 01:50:37,439
Speaker 1: Valley is for it. And then the Iron Pigs obviously,

2231
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's just whatever. The it's a minor league.

2232
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:43,400
Speaker 1: Names are great. Don't rip the Lehigh Valley. Is that

2233
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,600
Speaker 1: MPa is Edward? Le High Valley is Yeah, you know

2234
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:50,240
Speaker 1: somewhere in Pennsylvania. It's in the It's in the boondots somewhere.

2235
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 1: Thanks for this, We'll talk thank you anytime. Thanks awards.

2236
01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:58,800
Speaker 1: Getting the silent report on the Eagles radio network. A

2237
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:03,719
Speaker 1: long time sports gamester in Philadelphia. No shortage of hot takes. Wow,

2238
01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 1: you talk about giving us a one sentence rundown of

2239
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:11,679
Speaker 1: the nfcast. Cowboys are frauds. The Redskins are a train wreck.

2240
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:18,679
Speaker 1: H Wash New York has the softiet quarterback. The division

2241
01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:23,880
Speaker 1: is there to be won by the Eagles them. Sheila, Sheila, Hey,

2242
01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:26,519
Speaker 1: I talked, we talked yesterday and our true and false

2243
01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:30,080
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys the truan false question. Was the Cowboys

2244
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:31,800
Speaker 1: one of the top five teams in the league. Both

2245
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 1: of us said, no, falls right, agree, Yeah, they I

2246
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:36,080
Speaker 1: agreed that I don't know the ghost are setting there

2247
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:37,519
Speaker 1: a fraud, but I don't think they're that good and

2248
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: that is an easy division. How'd right about that? His

2249
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 1: rookie year, Dak Prescott, along with Zeke Elliott, they had

2250
01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:46,160
Speaker 1: one of the great offensive lines ever assembled. I mean

2251
01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 1: they were they were enormous, they were athletic, They had

2252
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:53,240
Speaker 1: a couple two or three All pros on that offensive line,

2253
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 1: and they went to twelve and four just by kind

2254
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:59,679
Speaker 1: of Dinkin and Duncan and having an enormously good running

2255
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:02,680
Speaker 1: game with a fresh set of legs, and Zeke Elliott

2256
01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:06,640
Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott just had to do just enough. If

2257
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:08,799
Speaker 1: he didn't turn it over and gave him a little something,

2258
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:11,599
Speaker 1: they were gonna be good. And sure enough they were

2259
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 1: twelve and four and got got to the playoffs, deep

2260
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:17,719
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but since then, without that offensive line,

2261
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:21,960
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit dicey for the Cowboys, and

2262
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:25,479
Speaker 1: they're up against it. They've got to decide what they're

2263
01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:27,360
Speaker 1: gonna do with Dak Prescott. And I'm kind of with

2264
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:30,680
Speaker 1: Howard Eskin. I don't I'm not a fan. I like

2265
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:32,680
Speaker 1: the guy. He's a good guy, good leaders, got some

2266
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:37,759
Speaker 1: bucket loads of intangibles, but I don't think he's prolific

2267
01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 1: enough in the pocket to warrant the kind of contract

2268
01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 1: that Carson Wentz just signed. But that's what it'll take, right,

2269
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:48,799
Speaker 1: that's what his can't hold out. Yeah, look in that division,

2270
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:54,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Cowboys, Washington Giants, Eagles, nothing really special there.

2271
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:56,439
Speaker 1: And the best news is Bill's play all four of them.

2272
01:52:56,880 --> 01:52:58,280
Speaker 1: They get all four, they get all four of those,

2273
01:52:58,320 --> 01:53:00,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be nice? Ego four? And knowing that, get

2274
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:03,000
Speaker 1: a couple of wins at least out of that, you'll think, hopefully, Yeah, Hey,

2275
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,439
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Bills today and about the Carson

2276
01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:08,519
Speaker 1: Wentz contract. And as you look at the Bills and

2277
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:11,400
Speaker 1: you look at Josh Allen, what does Josh Allen need

2278
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:13,599
Speaker 1: to get to his second contract get into that kind

2279
01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 1: of money. Yes, he needs to play well for the

2280
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:18,200
Speaker 1: next two years, we know that. But who or what

2281
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:20,439
Speaker 1: are the factors for Josh Allen to get a second

2282
01:53:20,439 --> 01:53:22,960
Speaker 1: contract with the team. That's our Twitter poll today. We've

2283
01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:24,439
Speaker 1: had it up and running for a couple of hours

2284
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:27,080
Speaker 1: and getting good response on that on the Twitter poll.

2285
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:29,519
Speaker 1: We'll love to take your calls and comments on that

2286
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:32,360
Speaker 1: as well. Let's get to the Twitter poll, eight hundred

2287
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:34,920
Speaker 1: and fifty three votes in what would be the biggest

2288
01:53:34,920 --> 01:53:37,639
Speaker 1: factor in getting Josh Allen a second contract? Thirty two

2289
01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:40,840
Speaker 1: percent of you say offensive line, twenty seven percent say

2290
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 1: offensive weapons, twenty one percent say coaching, twenty percent say

2291
01:53:44,479 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 1: something else. It's pretty close. Steve in Twitter pole Land,

2296
01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:58,240
Speaker 1: crash and burn at eleven o'clock. As more, because we

01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:10,000
Speaker 1: but now we got. That's all the other votes, the

2300
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:12,840
Speaker 1: twenty percent or all the crafty people who thought, no Josh,

2301
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 1: Josh is gonna help himself. Yeah, duh. So but the

2313
01:54:51,440 --> 01:54:54,520
Speaker 1: on the show, talking about the Carson wentztel and what

2314
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:56,800
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen gets in position to have such a

2315
01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:58,880
Speaker 1: deal in a couple of years. If that's the case,

2316
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:01,480
Speaker 1: what would be the biggest fact and getting Josh Allen

2317
01:55:01,520 --> 01:55:03,120
Speaker 1: the second contract with the Bills. Let us know what

2318
01:55:03,200 --> 01:55:05,360
Speaker 1: you think. Got time for phone calls eight oh three

2319
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:08,160
Speaker 1: oh five fifty and toll free one eight eight eight

2320
01:55:08,280 --> 01:55:12,040
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. We will take some of

2321
01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:13,840
Speaker 1: your tweets. We'll take a call right here from Mark

2322
01:55:13,840 --> 01:55:16,840
Speaker 1: and Hamburg. Hi, Marc, go ahead, you're on the air. Hi. Also,

2323
01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 1: I think the biggest part is Brandon Bean who he

2324
01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:24,120
Speaker 1: brings in. Look what he did in free agency, and

2325
01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:26,560
Speaker 1: if he doesn't keep bringing the right players in and out,

2326
01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:29,680
Speaker 1: he isn't gonna do anything. It'd be like Andrew walk

2327
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:33,680
Speaker 1: hurt right. Yeah, there's no question that's and I would

2328
01:55:33,680 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: throw that in with coaching because the coaches are gonna

2329
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 1: even if Brandon bring brings these guys in, they got

2330
01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:39,880
Speaker 1: to make the roster. The coaches decide who those guys are,

2331
01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:42,200
Speaker 1: They decide how they're going to be used. So yeah,

2332
01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:45,880
Speaker 1: I think that falls under the under the under the

2333
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:48,840
Speaker 1: choice of coaching. For me, even though Brandon Bean's not

2334
01:55:48,920 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 1: anywhere near couldn't be considered a coach, it still has

2335
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:53,320
Speaker 1: to do with a personnel around him. Yeah, and I

2336
01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:56,120
Speaker 1: get what you're saying, are he's just hard until you

2337
01:55:56,200 --> 01:55:58,440
Speaker 1: know what they need to kind of put the onus

2338
01:55:58,560 --> 01:56:00,560
Speaker 1: on the general manager. You know what I'm saying. It's

2339
01:56:00,600 --> 01:56:02,320
Speaker 1: hard to say, well, Brandon, mean, you got to do

2340
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:05,080
Speaker 1: this for Josh, Well, you'll have to do something right

2341
01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 1: to get the team better, but it's hard to specify

2342
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:10,280
Speaker 1: that now because you don't know what they're gonna need.

2343
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:13,120
Speaker 1: I was thinking during Howard Eskin's chat with us a

2344
01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:16,760
Speaker 1: moment ago about the second contract here for Carson Wentz

2345
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 1: and how the Eagles have done a pretty good job

2346
01:56:18,920 --> 01:56:21,800
Speaker 1: of figuring out what does Wentz need and what can

2347
01:56:21,840 --> 01:56:23,640
Speaker 1: we get for him. They've done it through free agency

2348
01:56:23,680 --> 01:56:26,280
Speaker 1: and a trade or two. And that's how he roseman right.

2349
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:30,080
Speaker 1: He's done a good job of identifying his franchise quarterback

2350
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:32,480
Speaker 1: and building around him. And that's what any good general

2351
01:56:32,480 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 1: manager needs to do. Bean will have to do that

2352
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:36,520
Speaker 1: as well, no question. And it's you kind of hope.

2353
01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 1: The central point of the whole thing is you want

2354
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:44,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to become the centerpiece of the franchise like

2355
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 1: a Carson Wentz is, like Drew Brees is, like Ben

2356
01:56:48,560 --> 01:56:52,600
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is, like all those guys are. And you think, Okay,

2357
01:56:53,080 --> 01:56:54,920
Speaker 1: what's it going to be. And certainly, we've seen all

2358
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:57,320
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks elevate the play of the guys around them.

2359
01:56:57,920 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 1: We've seen guys become tremendous players when they've got a

2360
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:03,280
Speaker 1: great quarterback throwing to them. We've seen defenses be better,

2361
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 1: We've seen uh, you know, uh tight ends, running backs emerge.

2362
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:11,200
Speaker 1: You know who knew who Alvin Kamara was before Drew

2363
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:14,280
Speaker 1: Brees started throwing in the football. So you know, that's

2364
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:16,160
Speaker 1: kind of the crux of this question is what this

2365
01:57:16,200 --> 01:57:19,640
Speaker 1: team will look like with with Josh Allen becoming one

2366
01:57:19,640 --> 01:57:21,880
Speaker 1: of those guys that gets a six figure or now

2367
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, a nine figure guaranteed contract? Is nine? Is

2368
01:57:26,680 --> 01:57:32,080
Speaker 1: it nine? Seven? Ten? What is it? Nine hundred and

2369
01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:35,440
Speaker 1: seven million, three six and two eight? I think right,

2370
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:37,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no it is nine you're nine. Yeah, it's

2371
01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:40,640
Speaker 1: a nine figure contract. Yeah, I was thinking the annual basis. Yeah, no,

2372
01:57:40,680 --> 01:57:44,400
Speaker 1: it's a nine figure contract. So it's even a guy

2373
01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:49,640
Speaker 1: that gets one of those, you gotta some good things

2374
01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:53,160
Speaker 1: have happened to your franchise. Yeah, So it's what's you know,

2375
01:57:53,200 --> 01:57:54,920
Speaker 1: who are some of the other faces that are that

2376
01:57:55,040 --> 01:57:57,680
Speaker 1: are going to be associated with that nine figure contract?

2377
01:57:58,080 --> 01:57:59,720
Speaker 1: And so we're talking about let's get back to the

2378
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:02,960
Speaker 1: twee cheat. It is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

2379
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:05,720
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills from the tweet

2380
01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:10,280
Speaker 1: cheat James Francis Kraalobetz says has to be offensive line.

2381
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:13,560
Speaker 1: Everything starts there. Teams are built or should be built

2382
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:16,400
Speaker 1: from the offensive and defensive lines on out. If our

2383
01:58:16,440 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 1: line gets and we get some continuity, everything else should

2384
01:58:19,680 --> 01:58:22,120
Speaker 1: take care of itself. My biggest question is how he

2385
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:25,520
Speaker 1: will handle success, Like they have that problem determining how

2386
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:28,360
Speaker 1: Josh Handel's success. But I don't know that I anticipate

2387
01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:29,840
Speaker 1: that it'll be a problem. It'd be great if we

2388
01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:31,840
Speaker 1: can get there. Yeah, yeah, I mean, how do you

2389
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:34,800
Speaker 1: argue with offensive line? Certainly it's critically important. Yeah, I

2390
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:36,160
Speaker 1: don't know if it's at the top of my list,

2391
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:38,120
Speaker 1: but it is certainly important. Add thirty three says it.

2392
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:41,000
Speaker 1: He's and the logic is obvious. He's I'm thinking Josh

2393
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:43,960
Speaker 1: staying healthy, the old line protection, That's what it is.

2394
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 1: And if yeah, if Josh's gonna be on the field

2395
01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:48,240
Speaker 1: is because they're gonna protect him, and because he starts

2396
01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:49,960
Speaker 1: to be able to stand back there and throw the

2397
01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:53,320
Speaker 1: football instead of running all over, hurdling guys taking shots

2398
01:58:53,320 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 1: down that you know, taking hits on the sidelines before

2399
01:58:55,320 --> 01:58:57,360
Speaker 1: he gets out of bounds. That kind of thing. So yeah,

2400
01:58:57,480 --> 01:58:59,920
Speaker 1: no question. The offensive line is an easy argument to make,

2401
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:02,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are trying to do that.

2402
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,400
Speaker 1: Derek Hanson says, if I had to be specific, I'd

2403
01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 1: say playmakers in general, running game slash wide receivers would

2404
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:13,680
Speaker 1: play into Allen's numbers and help his ability to win games.

2405
01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:15,000
Speaker 1: And it's what it's all the best way he got

2406
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:17,920
Speaker 1: to be number seven overall pick. He's got some abilities,

2407
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:22,080
Speaker 1: but you don't want him leading the team in rushing

2408
01:59:22,120 --> 01:59:25,160
Speaker 1: like he did last year. That's not gonna fly. I

2409
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 1: don't think they may. You know, they may have some

2410
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:31,760
Speaker 1: different ideas about that in Baltimore where DeShawn Jackson is

2411
01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: that right, Deshaun Watson, it may be the guy that

2412
01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 1: leads them in in rushing and passing and all of that.

2413
01:59:40,120 --> 01:59:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to be able to

2414
01:59:41,480 --> 01:59:44,520
Speaker 1: fly or be sustainable. But you don't want Josh Allen

2415
01:59:44,600 --> 01:59:47,640
Speaker 1: doing that. You want him throwing to his playmakers. So um,

2416
01:59:48,960 --> 01:59:51,520
Speaker 1: it's it's obvious that somebody is going to emerge. It

2417
01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:54,440
Speaker 1: have if Carson, If Carson Wentz signed the deal that

2418
01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:57,080
Speaker 1: he did, and Josh Allen gets a deal that is

2419
01:59:57,120 --> 02:00:00,840
Speaker 1: commensurate with that, somebody on the his offense gonna have

2420
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:04,280
Speaker 1: good numbers besides him, besides Josh Allen. Who's it gonna be?

2421
02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Who's it gonna be? And that's that's really the question,

2422
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:12,200
Speaker 1: that's what we're asking. Here's a tweet from Billers. I

2423
02:00:12,280 --> 02:00:15,440
Speaker 1: went with other coaches my second. What we think about

2424
02:00:15,520 --> 02:00:18,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and our confidence in him is determined by

2425
02:00:18,280 --> 02:00:20,520
Speaker 1: the Bill's ability to make the playoffs. With Josh Allen

2426
02:00:20,520 --> 02:00:22,920
Speaker 1: as the quarterback, you can build weapons and a line

2427
02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:24,920
Speaker 1: around him, but he has to show that he gives

2428
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:28,000
Speaker 1: you a chance. I think we're real close, real close

2429
02:00:28,760 --> 02:00:31,480
Speaker 1: to Josh show and everybody that he gives you a

2430
02:00:31,560 --> 02:00:33,440
Speaker 1: chance to win. You know what I'm saying. I'm not

2431
02:00:33,600 --> 02:00:36,160
Speaker 1: totally sold, one hundred percent sold. I know some people are.

2432
02:00:36,280 --> 02:00:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm not, But I think the Bills and Josh are

2433
02:00:39,120 --> 02:00:43,880
Speaker 1: real close to establishing the fact that he gives you

2434
02:00:43,920 --> 02:00:46,640
Speaker 1: a chance to win and win perhaps big. I think,

2435
02:00:47,120 --> 02:00:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, we're like less than half a dozen games

2436
02:00:50,120 --> 02:00:54,000
Speaker 1: away from knowing that into the twenty nineteen season. What

2437
02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:56,000
Speaker 1: do you think You're already there? He gives me a

2438
02:00:56,080 --> 02:00:58,040
Speaker 1: chance to win? Are you kidding me? No? I'm not

2439
02:00:58,080 --> 02:01:00,560
Speaker 1: kidding I think yeah, he gives you a chance to win.

2440
02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:03,720
Speaker 1: Do you see that game against Miami seventeen last year?

2441
02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:06,920
Speaker 1: He Boys scored forty two points on those guys. He

2442
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:10,320
Speaker 1: was the best guy on the field in the game

2443
02:01:10,400 --> 02:01:12,800
Speaker 1: for either team, on either side of the ball. He

2444
02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:16,120
Speaker 1: was the best football player in the stadium. He threw

2445
02:01:16,200 --> 02:01:19,800
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns, ran for two. You couldn't take your

2446
02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:23,880
Speaker 1: eyes off the guy. Yeah, it gives you a chance

2447
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:28,280
Speaker 1: to point. I'd take him. I'd take him over Dak Prescott.

2448
02:01:28,360 --> 02:01:33,120
Speaker 1: That's right now. I'd take him over Andy Dalton right now,

2449
02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:37,760
Speaker 1: no question. Absolutely to Andy Dalton's making six nine figures.

2450
02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:41,080
Speaker 1: He signed a nine figure contract. Now his team. Now

2451
02:01:41,120 --> 02:01:43,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing, though, he had a really good roster

2452
02:01:43,080 --> 02:01:46,120
Speaker 1: around him. They got to the playoffs four straight years.

2453
02:01:46,160 --> 02:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's first four years in the league. They go

2454
02:01:48,160 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, and Andy Dalton became kind of one

2455
02:01:51,240 --> 02:01:54,680
Speaker 1: of those afterthought quarterbacks because every year in the first

2456
02:01:54,760 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs, Sincinnati Bengals were out and everybody

2457
02:01:57,720 --> 02:02:00,040
Speaker 1: looked at Andy Dalton saying he was the reason. He

2458
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:02,680
Speaker 1: couldn't elevate his play. He wasn't a thrower of the football.

2459
02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:04,920
Speaker 1: He didn't elevate his team to the point where they

2460
02:02:04,920 --> 02:02:08,640
Speaker 1: could win in Houston against the Texans, and that was

2461
02:02:08,680 --> 02:02:10,720
Speaker 1: all late at the feet of Andy Dalton. That's but

2462
02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:14,560
Speaker 1: he's a nine figure quarterback. Think about that. That's amazing.

2463
02:02:15,160 --> 02:02:18,560
Speaker 1: I'd take this guy seventeen for the Buffalo Bills. I

2464
02:02:18,680 --> 02:02:23,000
Speaker 1: take him over that. His abilities, his dynamic playmaker ability,

2465
02:02:23,040 --> 02:02:28,240
Speaker 1: his athleticism, his arm his leadership, all of that stacks

2466
02:02:28,320 --> 02:02:31,040
Speaker 1: up with that. Not six games in eight games in

2467
02:02:31,160 --> 02:02:34,120
Speaker 1: whatever it was. Yeah, he gives you a chance. I

2468
02:02:34,160 --> 02:02:36,320
Speaker 1: think people are like, I don't know about job. I

2469
02:02:36,360 --> 02:02:40,760
Speaker 1: think that's crazy talk. I think what Goldbeller's was referring

2470
02:02:40,760 --> 02:02:44,120
Speaker 1: to the way I interpreted it was give his last sentence.

2471
02:02:44,160 --> 02:02:45,400
Speaker 1: What he has to show is that he gives you

2472
02:02:45,440 --> 02:02:48,320
Speaker 1: a chance. He's talking about giving you a chance to

2473
02:02:48,360 --> 02:02:51,160
Speaker 1: win big, not just win games. I see that from Josh,

2474
02:02:51,200 --> 02:02:55,760
Speaker 1: and I don't you mean win titles like you know, divisions,

2475
02:02:56,680 --> 02:02:59,200
Speaker 1: playoff games? All right, I need to see more. I'll

2476
02:02:59,200 --> 02:03:01,400
Speaker 1: see I canna get that. But you know what, I

2477
02:03:01,480 --> 02:03:03,720
Speaker 1: know this, no matter how good that guy is, you

2478
02:03:03,800 --> 02:03:06,000
Speaker 1: need fifty two other guys to get that done. That's

2479
02:03:06,040 --> 02:03:07,960
Speaker 1: not all about that guy. That's what our Twitter polo

2480
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:10,920
Speaker 1: is today. Let's get you finished. I'll take a break.

2481
02:03:11,040 --> 02:03:13,000
Speaker 1: Look like you. No, No, you were looking for an argument.

2482
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:14,800
Speaker 1: I can't argue with most of what you said there

2483
02:03:14,960 --> 02:03:18,000
Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott. Let's talk Aboutdak Prescott as we get

2484
02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:20,440
Speaker 1: to NFL. True and False brought to you by Yancy's

2485
02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:23,400
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese. Here's an interesting question.

2486
02:03:23,480 --> 02:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott deserves at least our Carson Wentz type of contract.

2487
02:03:28,120 --> 02:03:32,000
Speaker 1: Todd Archer ESPN dot Com says Wentz was having an

2488
02:03:32,080 --> 02:03:34,760
Speaker 1: MVP type season a couple of years ago before he

2489
02:03:35,040 --> 02:03:38,120
Speaker 1: tore his ACL. But Prescott has had a better three

2490
02:03:38,200 --> 02:03:40,480
Speaker 1: year run than Carson Wentz. This goes again to the

2491
02:03:40,480 --> 02:03:42,840
Speaker 1: injury thing. Prescott has not missed a game in his

2492
02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:46,400
Speaker 1: three years, thirty two inins, sixteen losses, much better than

2493
02:03:46,440 --> 02:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Wentz's record. Prescott has sixty seven touchdown passes, eighteen rushing touchdowns,

2494
02:03:51,320 --> 02:03:54,000
Speaker 1: two Pro Bowl appearances. More important, he has two NFC

2495
02:03:54,080 --> 02:03:57,760
Speaker 1: East titles, two playoff appearances, and one Playoff victory. A

2496
02:03:57,920 --> 02:04:02,320
Speaker 1: strong argument for Dak Prescott. Who what deserves it? Carson

2497
02:04:02,360 --> 02:04:06,400
Speaker 1: Wentz type deal? You want to take this one, Steve, No,

2498
02:04:06,440 --> 02:04:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go first. No, he doesn't. I don't think

2499
02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:12,840
Speaker 1: he's gotten anything resembling Carson Wentz type talent. And I

2500
02:04:12,880 --> 02:04:14,960
Speaker 1: see the numbers, I see the win loss record. A

2501
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:17,040
Speaker 1: lot goes into that, But no, he does not deserve

2502
02:04:17,080 --> 02:04:19,600
Speaker 1: that kind of deal somewhere. You'll probably get paid somewhere

2503
02:04:19,640 --> 02:04:22,280
Speaker 1: in that neighborhood because they're the Cowboys and that's what

2504
02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:24,960
Speaker 1: you do with with quarterbacks now. But I would say no, false.

2505
02:04:25,160 --> 02:04:29,080
Speaker 1: I agree. I Dak Prescott has not exhibited the ability

2506
02:04:29,160 --> 02:04:30,960
Speaker 1: or the type of player, the style of play that

2507
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:34,560
Speaker 1: carries the team. Carson Wentz did carry that team. He

2508
02:04:35,080 --> 02:04:37,960
Speaker 1: his presence on that team got everything better. Certainly they

2509
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:41,520
Speaker 1: had a good defense. But Dak Prescott has not done

2510
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:47,760
Speaker 1: anything to carry that team. All he was a game

2511
02:04:47,800 --> 02:04:50,040
Speaker 1: manager in the twelve and four year they had and

2512
02:04:50,120 --> 02:04:53,120
Speaker 1: certainly win in two division titles is a big feather

2513
02:04:53,160 --> 02:04:54,960
Speaker 1: in his cap, no question about it. And they're a

2514
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:57,600
Speaker 1: really good franchise coach by a guy got a lot

2515
02:04:57,640 --> 02:05:01,000
Speaker 1: of respect for and Jason Garrett. But I don't know.

2516
02:05:01,080 --> 02:05:05,680
Speaker 1: I cannot put him on that level with Carson Wentz.

2517
02:05:05,720 --> 02:05:08,200
Speaker 1: I just can't do it. Either NFL two or false

2518
02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Part two. H. Washington Trent Williams. We're talking a lot

2519
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:15,640
Speaker 1: of NFC East today, um Riley McAfee if the Ringer

2520
02:05:15,680 --> 02:05:20,200
Speaker 1: dot com wondering if the Trent Williams situation could derail

2521
02:05:20,320 --> 02:05:23,520
Speaker 1: Washington season. He's demanded a trade because of a recent

2522
02:05:23,720 --> 02:05:26,160
Speaker 1: medical procedure that he didn't like the way they handled it.

2523
02:05:27,080 --> 02:05:30,680
Speaker 1: Riley McAfee says, if Washington cannot repair its relationship with Williams,

2524
02:05:31,320 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 1: fans will have to grit their teeth through Dwayne Haskins

2525
02:05:34,200 --> 02:05:37,640
Speaker 1: rookie year. Uh, Trent Williams a very valuable player, used

2526
02:05:37,640 --> 02:05:39,400
Speaker 1: to being not that long ago, one of the best

2527
02:05:39,720 --> 02:05:42,280
Speaker 1: offensive linemen in the league. But if he's out, what

2528
02:05:42,320 --> 02:05:45,280
Speaker 1: do you do now? You got Haskins rookie playing behind

2529
02:05:45,320 --> 02:05:48,840
Speaker 1: a banged up line. However, the Trent Williams situation could

2530
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:50,760
Speaker 1: derail Washington season. Do you have a thought on this?

2531
02:05:50,840 --> 02:05:54,240
Speaker 1: They're a mess anyway, exactly what do you do? You're

2532
02:05:54,320 --> 02:06:01,920
Speaker 1: derailing the Titanic, right, you know? You're right? It's uh, yeah,

2533
02:06:02,080 --> 02:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't know whether that's a true false then him,

2534
02:06:04,120 --> 02:06:06,280
Speaker 1: is it true that yes, it helped it could derail it.

2535
02:06:06,360 --> 02:06:12,800
Speaker 1: I think it's already derailed, but yeah, it's more the same. Yeah,

2536
02:06:12,960 --> 02:06:15,400
Speaker 1: I agree, I guess I think that's true that it

2537
02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:18,240
Speaker 1: is you lose your guy like Trent Williams who can

2538
02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:22,040
Speaker 1: really play. That makes sure that permeates through the locker

2539
02:06:22,120 --> 02:06:25,040
Speaker 1: room because of the reason is because they mishandled something

2540
02:06:25,080 --> 02:06:28,640
Speaker 1: that every player is gonna face a medical issue. Everybody's

2541
02:06:28,680 --> 02:06:30,560
Speaker 1: every guy's gonna go in there and get some ice

2542
02:06:30,640 --> 02:06:32,240
Speaker 1: or get treatment in some way, shape or form, some

2543
02:06:32,280 --> 02:06:33,760
Speaker 1: of them in a big way, some of them in

2544
02:06:33,800 --> 02:06:36,240
Speaker 1: a lesser way. But when every player looks around, say

2545
02:06:36,280 --> 02:06:39,720
Speaker 1: one of your top players things that it was mishandled

2546
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:44,400
Speaker 1: by that medical staff, that's a problem. It's a problem. NFL.

2547
02:06:44,440 --> 02:06:46,360
Speaker 1: True and False brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New

2548
02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:49,000
Speaker 1: York's artisan Cheese. Time for a phone call here, Let's

2549
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:51,960
Speaker 1: go to a Corey in Tonawanda. Hello, Corey, are you there?

2550
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:54,000
Speaker 1: Go ahead, you're on the air of this. That's hi John,

2551
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:57,640
Speaker 1: Hi Steel. I'm just calling about two things. I'll let

2552
02:06:57,680 --> 02:07:03,280
Speaker 1: you go. One is about the whole situation with Josh Allen.

2553
02:07:04,200 --> 02:07:07,800
Speaker 1: What's a second contract. I think if Josh Allen can

2554
02:07:08,240 --> 02:07:12,440
Speaker 1: do well with office coordinators, offer coordinators to do well,

2555
02:07:12,560 --> 02:07:16,760
Speaker 1: because you know, things change, and if he could go

2556
02:07:16,880 --> 02:07:20,560
Speaker 1: with different coordinators and just so it'd be great. Yeah,

2557
02:07:20,600 --> 02:07:22,400
Speaker 1: he's only had the one so far, and I hope

2558
02:07:22,400 --> 02:07:25,480
Speaker 1: Brian Dable stays as long as he's successful, as long

2559
02:07:25,520 --> 02:07:28,320
Speaker 1: as the Bills want him. But yeah, that happens, right,

2560
02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Coaches change, coaches come, coaches go, Carson Wentz lost Frank Wright. Yeah, yeah,

2561
02:07:34,080 --> 02:07:36,640
Speaker 1: that's right. That makes all the different. Yeah, coaching is

2562
02:07:36,720 --> 02:07:41,120
Speaker 1: huge for a quarterback, No, absolutely, no question. What's your

2563
02:07:41,120 --> 02:07:44,680
Speaker 1: second thing, of course is I think to me, Josh

2564
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:46,840
Speaker 1: Allen is a heck of a much better player that

2565
02:07:47,040 --> 02:07:49,720
Speaker 1: quarterback than that Press Stott. If you put Josh Allen

2566
02:07:50,040 --> 02:07:52,280
Speaker 1: and to the Cowboys off it to mind the weapons,

2567
02:07:52,360 --> 02:07:54,760
Speaker 1: I think he will do great. So my thing is

2568
02:07:55,360 --> 02:07:58,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to me, even though he's a rookie, can

2569
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:02,520
Speaker 1: have a better contract than that pass. Well, there you go.

2570
02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:05,360
Speaker 1: That's that's yeah. You'll you'll get a lot of arguments

2571
02:08:05,400 --> 02:08:07,919
Speaker 1: from Dallas fans about that, because there's still a perception

2572
02:08:07,960 --> 02:08:10,120
Speaker 1: out there that Josh Allen can't complete a higher enough

2573
02:08:10,120 --> 02:08:12,520
Speaker 1: percentage of his passes. And one of the things we've

2574
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:15,680
Speaker 1: seen Murph and I through watching him play last year

2575
02:08:15,800 --> 02:08:18,680
Speaker 1: and through discussions with people in this building and all that.

2576
02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 1: They don't see it, and they watch him every day

2577
02:08:21,040 --> 02:08:24,080
Speaker 1: and we've watched him throw. They don't see an inaccurate quarterback.

2578
02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:26,240
Speaker 1: They see a young quarterback who's trying to get too

2579
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:29,240
Speaker 1: much every time he throws the football. And when you

2580
02:08:29,320 --> 02:08:32,480
Speaker 1: get Josh Allen like they did in Week seventeen last year,

2581
02:08:32,560 --> 02:08:35,200
Speaker 1: to take the throws that are easy for him, his

2582
02:08:35,360 --> 02:08:38,600
Speaker 1: completion percentage jump from fifty three to sixty five and

2583
02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:41,920
Speaker 1: a half percent. That's a big jump. And that and

2584
02:08:42,080 --> 02:08:46,120
Speaker 1: that puts him in a very very very different conversation

2585
02:08:46,800 --> 02:08:50,080
Speaker 1: if you take all those things as fact and as real.

2586
02:08:50,480 --> 02:08:53,400
Speaker 1: Now there's a there's no question it may be an aberration.

2587
02:08:53,840 --> 02:08:56,480
Speaker 1: Latin Game seventeen, Week seventeen last year may be an

2588
02:08:56,480 --> 02:09:00,760
Speaker 1: aberration in a statistical progress, but it sure didn't sound

2589
02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:02,400
Speaker 1: that way, and it sure doesn't look that way to me.

2590
02:09:02,760 --> 02:09:05,240
Speaker 1: All right, break, we're back. It's One Bill's Slide presented

2591
02:09:05,240 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 1: by Kalaida Health from One Bill's Drive and this is

2592
02:09:07,280 --> 02:09:18,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Okay, so I want to we learned

2593
02:09:18,560 --> 02:09:21,600
Speaker 1: from today's show presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western Ors

2594
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:25,240
Speaker 1: Holmes in businesses with the finest and security and home Theater,

2595
02:09:25,320 --> 02:09:28,000
Speaker 1: the preferred alarm and home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills.

2596
02:09:28,440 --> 02:09:31,800
Speaker 1: We had Adrian Wagnarowski on the show today. Woj is

2597
02:09:31,840 --> 02:09:35,680
Speaker 1: the ESPN senior n NBA insider talking about the NBA

2598
02:09:35,760 --> 02:09:37,800
Speaker 1: Finals and he says, the key man here, the wild

2599
02:09:37,840 --> 02:09:41,160
Speaker 1: card in the series is the Golden State Warriors, Kevin Durant.

2600
02:09:41,200 --> 02:09:44,720
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. He's been out for

2601
02:09:44,880 --> 02:09:50,200
Speaker 1: several weeks and how does he impact his team? And

2602
02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:53,800
Speaker 1: certainly you have to defend Golden State in a very

2603
02:09:53,840 --> 02:09:56,240
Speaker 1: different way when he's on the floor. It creates more

2604
02:09:56,240 --> 02:10:02,120
Speaker 1: opportunities for other players in isolation situations. Steh Curry, Clay Thompson,

2605
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, Draymond Green, and so Katie takes a lot

2606
02:10:05,320 --> 02:10:08,320
Speaker 1: of pressure. You know. Right now you're seeing Toronto really

2607
02:10:08,320 --> 02:10:11,280
Speaker 1: load up on the key Golden State players. And certainly

2608
02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:15,560
Speaker 1: defensively Toronto, they have length, they have depth, they have

2609
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:20,840
Speaker 1: physical strength, and they have defended through Golden State as

2610
02:10:20,840 --> 02:10:23,720
Speaker 1: well as anybody over the last few years. And of course,

2611
02:10:23,760 --> 02:10:28,240
Speaker 1: but this is a depleted Warriors team. I think the drama,

2612
02:10:28,320 --> 02:10:33,560
Speaker 1: the intrigue of Durant still looming out there will make

2613
02:10:33,600 --> 02:10:36,800
Speaker 1: these last final few games pretty dramatic, hope. So it's

2614
02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:39,040
Speaker 1: been fairly dramatic so far. Look for more of the same,

2615
02:10:39,080 --> 02:10:42,680
Speaker 1: including tonight game for the NBA Finals. Tonight, Man Malano

2616
02:10:42,760 --> 02:10:45,080
Speaker 1: joined us on the show today. Bill's linebacker getting set

2617
02:10:45,080 --> 02:10:47,040
Speaker 1: for his third year in the NFL, and he talked

2618
02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:49,160
Speaker 1: about getting ready for his third year and how much

2619
02:10:49,200 --> 02:10:50,800
Speaker 1: different it is from a couple of years ago when

2620
02:10:50,840 --> 02:10:55,080
Speaker 1: he was a rookie, little things, cleaning up little things.

2621
02:10:55,080 --> 02:10:57,480
Speaker 1: No longer is it okay to make the same mistakes

2622
02:10:57,480 --> 02:10:59,720
Speaker 1: over and over. Just taking all that out and then

2623
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:03,200
Speaker 1: kind of going further than just what play is called.

2624
02:11:03,200 --> 02:11:07,720
Speaker 1: But recognizing formation, is recognizing him, coverage, is recognizing little

2625
02:11:07,720 --> 02:11:10,040
Speaker 1: stuff like that that normally when you're young and you

2626
02:11:10,080 --> 02:11:11,840
Speaker 1: just think about what the play is called and what

2627
02:11:11,880 --> 02:11:14,280
Speaker 1: that play is, but just taking it to the next step.

2628
02:11:14,800 --> 02:11:17,160
Speaker 1: Matt Milano taking it to the next step, says, he's

2629
02:11:17,160 --> 02:11:21,280
Speaker 1: fully recovered. You you grilled him on that step. I

2630
02:11:21,360 --> 02:11:23,880
Speaker 1: think he's he's in line to take a big step

2631
02:11:23,880 --> 02:11:26,240
Speaker 1: this year. That he's a veteran now, this this third year.

2632
02:11:26,280 --> 02:11:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean that you know, the average careers three and

2633
02:11:28,560 --> 02:11:32,960
Speaker 1: a half, I mean, he's he's a fixture now, right

2634
02:11:33,160 --> 02:11:35,240
Speaker 1: they're counting on him. Yeah, you gotta count on him,

2635
02:11:35,240 --> 02:11:39,080
Speaker 1: and he's he's gone from a gush you they're gonna

2636
02:11:39,080 --> 02:11:41,000
Speaker 1: have to play the fifth rounder. Oh my gosh, it's

2637
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:43,520
Speaker 1: a mess up there now. Actually it's pretty good. And

2638
02:11:43,600 --> 02:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, he's you know, he's my guy

2639
02:11:45,440 --> 02:11:47,080
Speaker 1: now right for a lot of people have gotten to

2640
02:11:47,160 --> 02:11:50,200
Speaker 1: that point. So, uh, and him coming back and we've

2641
02:11:50,200 --> 02:11:53,600
Speaker 1: said it over and over. That sounds crazy to say it,

2642
02:11:53,600 --> 02:11:56,080
Speaker 1: but it's true. Rather than having a blown knee or whatever,

2643
02:11:56,120 --> 02:11:58,120
Speaker 1: breaking your leg like he did is a plus because

2644
02:11:58,120 --> 02:11:59,880
Speaker 1: you took You heard him, man, he feels one hundred

2645
02:12:00,360 --> 02:12:03,000
Speaker 1: hundred and ten. So it's good to have him back,

2646
02:12:03,120 --> 02:12:04,600
Speaker 1: and he kind of wish the best for him to

2647
02:12:04,640 --> 02:12:06,400
Speaker 1: have a year of the two you can see all

2648
02:12:06,440 --> 02:12:09,280
Speaker 1: sixteen games. I enjoyed our Twitter poll today those who

2649
02:12:09,520 --> 02:12:13,520
Speaker 1: correctly interpreted it Carson Wentz got the big contract overnight.

2650
02:12:13,720 --> 02:12:15,920
Speaker 1: What would be the biggest factor in Josh Allen getting

2651
02:12:15,920 --> 02:12:18,640
Speaker 1: a big second contract with the Bills. Thirty two percent

2652
02:12:18,720 --> 02:12:22,280
Speaker 1: say it's his offensive line, twenty seven percent say it's

2653
02:12:22,320 --> 02:12:26,160
Speaker 1: the offensive weapons, twenty one percent say coaching Bills coaching,

2654
02:12:26,200 --> 02:12:28,720
Speaker 1: twenty percent have something else in mine. I would say

2655
02:12:28,760 --> 02:12:31,880
Speaker 1: coaching right, continuity of the coaching staff and good coaching,

2656
02:12:31,880 --> 02:12:33,840
Speaker 1: and he's going to need more of it this year. Absolutely,

2657
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:36,960
Speaker 1: play calling the guys around him, what they're doing, how

2658
02:12:36,960 --> 02:12:39,560
Speaker 1: they're doing it. It all makes an enormous difference. And

2659
02:12:40,160 --> 02:12:43,440
Speaker 1: plus how they handle Josh, what his mindset's going out there,

2660
02:12:43,440 --> 02:12:45,680
Speaker 1: how they prepare him, how they get him prepared, how

2661
02:12:45,680 --> 02:12:47,600
Speaker 1: they help him to evolve as a quarterback at all.

2662
02:12:47,640 --> 02:12:50,680
Speaker 1: It's crucial. That's where I'd vote. But all those things

2663
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:52,400
Speaker 1: on that list are going to have to be a factor. Yep,

2664
02:12:52,560 --> 02:12:54,480
Speaker 1: all right, that'll do it for today's show. Do it

2665
