00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: These one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: All right, how's everybody doing. Hopefully you're staying warm out

3
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: there because we are in the deep freeze here in

4
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: western New York. My goodness, I'm talking to my daughter.

5
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: She's down in New York City. She said the high

6
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: down there was twelve, which is unseasonably.

7
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: Cold for them.

8
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: It's so cold, but we've had it for like two

9
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: weeks now. He's cranking.

10
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 4: I'm turning all the thermostats. Yeah, you've turned everything up.

11
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: You've made an executive decision around here. I think the

12
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: lowest thermatas thermostat reading i've seen here is seventy five.

13
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: That's all your We.

14
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 4: Walk out of our control room studio into a big

15
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 4: four yer right atrium at the field House, and it's

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 4: bitter as They also got the doors proper with the

17
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 4: bringing equipment in and out. Today it's it's bitter cold. Yeah,

18
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 4: and today's the day they got to open it all

19
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: up and wheel crates in. Yeah.

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but my dog basically wants

21
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: to go into hibernation.

22
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: She's done, she's finished.

23
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: Your partner right here, bro, I want to go into hibernation.

24
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 4: My dogs. My dogs are looking at me like going

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: is Seriously.

26
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: You got no better your arrangement than this.

27
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: You're gonna sit like that again. I'm not moving, Yeah,

28
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 4: I am not moving.

29
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: You've become very sedentary, so bad.

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: It's really like, look, we we usually have a cold

31
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: snap in January at some point, and I guess the

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: one benefit is I guess the lake is now ninety

33
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: percent frozen, and as we know, if that whole thing

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: freezes over, there's no more lake effects snow, which is

35
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: a good thing.

36
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: So we got that going for it. The lake has

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: got four feet eyes.

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: But the price you got to pay to get there,

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: it's all wrong, like it's something else.

40
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: So we will.

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: We will weather the storm so to speak, because it's

42
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: supposed to continue.

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: The rest of the week pretty much.

44
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: And yes we're only a Wednesday bro supposed to be cold.

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: Rest of the way.

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: Will survive as we usually do. It's funny.

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: I had a buddy of mine when I first moved here.

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, you know, a Buffalo city

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: of good neighbors. He goes, you know what it's also called?

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: He said, the city of cold hands and warm hearts.

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: And I was like, I have never heard that before.

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: Did you make that up? And he's like, no, no,

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: it's a thing.

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: I've not That was thirty years ago. I've not heard

55
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: another person utter that out of their.

56
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: Mouth about Buffalo.

57
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: Cold Hands Warm Heart, Yeah, about Buffalo.

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: And I've heard that Cold Hands and warm Heart. You

59
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: have heard that? Oh sure, I haven't heard that.

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: From Cold Hands Warm Heart. You've never heard that.

61
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 3: I heard it from the guy who told me thirty

62
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: years ago. I've never heard anybody else say it.

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: Since people generally fall back on city of I think

64
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: city of Cold Hands and Warm Hearts.

65
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 4: Probably have to be like my vintage to have that

66
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: as a go to a cold hands warm In fact,

67
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: I don't say it because it's so common on my mind.

68
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: Maybe that's why I don't know.

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: It's just I thought that was interesting because I had

70
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: not heard it before, nor since I was first told it,

71
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: you know, by any born and bred Buffalonian.

72
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 3: But maybe I'm wrong.

73
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: We do have plenty of Bills notes to get to

74
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: as the coaching carousel continues to spin, both at the

75
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: head coaching level around the league and the assistant coaching level,

76
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: and the Bills have competition for the services of Denver

77
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: defensive pass game coordinator Jim Leonard. Reports yesterday from ESPN

78
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: indicated Leonard is a front runner for the Bills defensive

79
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: coordinator post, but the Chargers have already made it a

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: quest to interview Leonard. Los Angeles says, we know lost

81
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: their defensive coordinator, Jesse Minter, who is now the head

82
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: coach of the Baltimore Ravens, and we do know that

83
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: the Bills will need a new defensive coordinator because reports

84
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: say Bills defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage has moved on. The

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers are hiring Babbage to be their defensive

86
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: pass game coordinator and secondary coach, so that's happening up

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: in Green Bay. Buffalo is also going to be in

88
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: the market for a new receivers coach, as Adam Henry

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: is joining the Pittsburgh Steelers staff under Mike McCarthy to

90
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: be their receivers coach. Henry coached with McCarthy when McCarthy

91
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: was head coach in Dallas, and Joe Brady's introductory press

92
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: conference as the Bill's new head coach will be held

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: tomorrow at twelve noon. We will carry that press conference

94
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: live here on another three hour edition of One Bill's

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: Live tomorrow, so be sure to tune in for that,

96
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: and our topic of discussion lies there as well. We'll

97
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: get to that in a second, but let's go around

98
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: the NFL too, to give you the full breadth of

99
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: the coaching position musical chairs that are going on around

100
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: the league. After an extensive search, the Cleveland Browns have

101
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: hired former Baltimore offensive coordinator Todd Monkin as their new

102
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: head coach. Inserts slide whistle sound effect here. Monkan who

103
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 2: turned sixty next week.

104
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 4: You don't like that?

105
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 3: That was the reaction to Browns fans.

106
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Moncan, who turned sixty next week, was Cleveland's

107
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator back in twenty nineteen under the wildly successful

108
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: Freddie Kitchens. So, according to reports, the naming of Monkin

109
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: to the head coaching post has ticked off Brown's defensive

110
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: coordinator Jim Schwartz, who was up for the head coaching

111
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: post interviewed twice with the club during that process. Owner

112
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: Jimmy Haslam wanted to retain Schwartz as his defensive coordinator

113
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: and thought hiring a veteran coach would increase the chances

114
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 2: of holding on to Schwartz rather than a first time

115
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: head coach, But according to reports, after the Browns informed

116
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: Schwartz this morning they were passing him over to hire

117
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: Monken as head coach, Schwartz was visibly upset, said goodbyes

118
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: in the building and told other coaches He's not coming back,

119
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: which begs the question, now, Steve, Jimmy Leonard, Jim Schwartz,

120
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: he had some good candidates in the DC pool.

121
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I have already. I will already called his agent.

122
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, Now he's still under contract to the Browns,

123
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: so you'd have to kind of work that out because

124
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: this is a lateral move.

125
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: Well, if the Browns, you just gotta call the Browns

126
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 4: say what are you gonna do with him?

127
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

128
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's it.

129
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers, among other teams, are expected to

130
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: have interest in Schwartz if and when he becomes availed.

131
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: No word yet on whether the Bills would be interested

132
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: in hiring him back as defensive coordinator for a second

133
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: time around. Bills led the league in sacks when Schwartz

134
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: was their defensive coordinator back in twenty thirteen.

135
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 4: That was the That was quite the crew of d lineman.

136
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: Name Mario Williams, Marcel Darius, Kyle Williams, Jerry Hughes. So

137
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: now only two head coaching jobs remain open, the Arizona

138
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals and the Las Vegas Raiders.

139
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 4: So nobody wants to live in the desert apparently.

140
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: Two added Well, it's a whole different kind of desert

141
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: out there, not just the landscape.

142
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 4: I see what you did there.

143
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Raiders is probably deemed by many to

144
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: be the worst job of the bunch. I would say

145
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: the Raiders and Brown's jobs were probably the two least attractive. Yeah,

146
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: even though the Raiders have the number one pick, A lot.

147
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: Of it has to do with the per se about

148
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: their leadership. Mark Davis is not deemed stable enough for

149
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: as other places. And Mike Bidwell. I think it's Mike

150
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: that sounds right. Is also has a reputation of being

151
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: hard to work for. He's a hands on owner kind

152
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 4: of guy and h and that rankles some guys. So

153
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: I'm a little surprised because I don't know that. I mean,

154
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: Tim wizen Hunt got Arizona the Super Bowl. Ken wizen

155
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: Hunt got Arizona the Super Bowl, so it can be done.

156
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 4: It's been a while for the Raiders. It's in twenty

157
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: three years since they've been back.

158
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: When was the last time the Raiders made them playoffs?

159
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 3: Oh?

160
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: They made it with that game against the Chargers where

161
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 2: if they tied, they both would have gone Chargers. Blew

162
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: it was our head coach Staley. I think he had

163
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: gotten was it Rich Bassacia as interim?

164
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: Wow, that's a good question.

165
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: That's immateial here.

166
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: What my point is, do you remember that a few

167
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: years ago all they had to do was tie and

168
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: they both get in and Brandon Staley blew it. He

169
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: called time out or something gave them an extra chance.

170
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: To line up. Oh my gosh, and then he lost

171
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: his job.

172
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: The la Rams have requested to interview Brown's special teams

173
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: coordinator Bubba van Trone for their special teams coordinator vacancy.

174
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: He has not expected to be back in Cleveland. I

175
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: guess his contract must be up or the Browns have

176
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: no interest in keeping him. Bills, by the way, are

177
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: in the market for a special teams coordinator because Chris

178
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: Taber signed on with Miami. Last week, Denver Broncos head

179
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: coach Sean Payton fired offensive coordinator Joe Brady, saying that

180
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: the team's offense or Joe Lombar Sorry, Joe Lombardi, saying

181
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: that the team's offense didn't.

182
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 3: Do enough to go to the Super Bowl.

183
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: Last I checked, Sean Payton is the one calling the plays, right,

184
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: Am I missing something there?

185
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 4: Yeah? He must have been. I would imagine phrasing it

186
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 4: like that, and knowing the situation where Sean Payton is

187
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: a play caller, it might be something to do with

188
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: the putting the game plan together pushback. They've gotten relationships

189
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: that kind of thing.

190
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 2: And many many believe this is Peyton's attempt to retain

191
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,479
Speaker 2: Davis Webb on his staff by promoting.

192
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: Him to offensive coordinator.

193
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 2: Web is in the running for the Raiders head coaching job.

194
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: Peyton also fired wide receivers coach Kirie Colbert and cornerbacks

195
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: coach Addison Lynch. So the most successful season in Broncos

196
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: history in the last ten years and the OC gets punted.

197
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: The New York Jets have a new defensive coordinators. Reports

198
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: indicate that head coach Aaron Glennis hired former Dolphins pass

199
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: game coordinator Brian.

200
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: Duker is their new DC.

201
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: SO.

202
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: Duker coached with Glenn previously in Detroit, where they were

203
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: on Campbell's staff together.

204
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: So there is that.

205
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: It's gonna be interesting to see how Aaron Glenn puts

206
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: his staff back together. He fired eight people, right, I mean.

207
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: That's like a month after the season ended.

208
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 4: You're not thinking you're gonna see your retirement there, right,

209
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 4: I mean you're you're in for short term. Three and

210
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: fourteen this year and not even remotely lost a league

211
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: record five games in a row by more than twenty

212
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 4: five points each.

213
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: And here was a good one. I told Steve this

214
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 2: before we were on the air today. The three highest

215
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: cap hits, oh gosh, for the Jets this coming season,

216
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: season twenty twenty six, three highest cap hits for the Jets.

217
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: Are you ready?

218
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 6: Go ahead?

219
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: Justin Fields twenty three million.

220
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 4: Not expected to come back.

221
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: We'll see Sauce Gardner thirty one million.

222
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: Who plays for the Indianapolis Colts.

223
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 3: And Aaron Rodgers thirty five million, who's.

224
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: Been gone for this will be a second year he's gone.

225
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: And is retired in all likelihood, Although we may go

226
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: back to.

227
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 4: This, Taylor's three highest paid players on their roster, and

228
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 4: none of them, well Fields does Fields might be none

229
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 4: of them are expected to play. Two of them are

230
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 4: for sure not going to play.

231
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: The Jets remain the best organization in the league in

232
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: one thing, and one thing only.

233
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: Self sabotage. They do it better than anybody. It's uncanny.

234
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Manion is taking a

235
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 2: second interview with the Eagles for their still vacant offensive

236
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: coordinator job. This thing's been vacant for almost three weeks now,

237
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: actually more four weeks, almost four weeks, and they still

238
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: have yet to name somebody to the post. And Bill Belichick,

239
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 2: the eight time Super Bowl winning coach, is not a

240
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: first ballot Hall of Famer, and voting earlier this month,

241
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: Belichick fell short of the forty out of fifty votes

242
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 2: needed for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame

243
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,359
Speaker 2: during his first year of eligibility.

244
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: Now we should make it clear.

245
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: That he was a candidate from the Contributors category, which

246
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: gets lumped in with the Seniors Committee candidates, and only

247
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: one to three of those candidates gain enshrinement with eighty

248
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: percent of the vote forty out of fifty. So combined,

249
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 2: the Contributor and Seniors Committee candidates for enshrinement were Bill Belichick,

250
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: Robert Kraft, Ken Anderson, Roger Craig, Elsie Greenwood.

251
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 3: So there are.

252
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: Only a maximum of one hundred and fifty votes for

253
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: those five candidates, because each of the fifty voters can

254
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 2: only vote for three of the five and it's zero

255
00:13:53,720 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: sum voting. You vote for one two and three vote

256
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: for the other two. So that's three votes out the

257
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: window for two that didn't get one. So, knowing each

258
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: of them need forty out of fifty, a vote for

259
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: one comes at the expense of another. And I know

260
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: Bill Pollion went and got into this whole controversy after

261
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: the voting came out because they thought he was sour

262
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: grapes about all those Colts Patriots things and Spygate and

263
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Deflaygate and the whole thing. My hypothesis on how this

264
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: went down was some voters who were pulling for candidates

265
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: whom they felt were less of a sure thing, like

266
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: Ken Anderson or Elsie Greenwood, maybe voted for them to

267
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: help their chances. Figuring Belichick's gonna get the votes. I

268
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: don't have to vote for him.

269
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: I want to get L. C. Greenwood in, I'm going

270
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: to vote for him.

271
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 4: I didn't see that happening, Yes.

272
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: Figuring Belichick's a sure thing, and in the end he

273
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: doesn't get the forty votes he needs. Now since all

274
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: this stuff went down last night and there was a

275
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: jaha on social media, Armando Salgaro from OutKick dot Com,

276
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: who is a voter, did say that Spygate was a

277
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: disqualifying vote for some of the voters in the room

278
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: and that the selectors are now divided on Belichick. Some

279
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: are embarrassed, and I know people are all bent out

280
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: of shape saying the integrity of the voting process has

281
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: been tainted.

282
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: How about the integrity of the game.

283
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: Was that not tainted by Belichick's cheating with Spygate and Deflategate?

284
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: Did we forget about that? People are making it a

285
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: big deal. I mean, this guy's going to get in anyway.

286
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: I mean, who are we kidding? What the heck is

287
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: the difference if the you know, a guy that's been

288
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: fined by the league for cheating has to wait a

289
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: year or two?

290
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: Is this catastrophic?

291
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: Therman Thomas was a second ballot, which was ridiculous too,

292
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: But here we are fifteen years later. Nobody really cares

293
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: because he's a Hall of Famer at the end of

294
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: the day, and I don't think anybody is gonna care

295
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: about this in a few.

296
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: Years, probably not, but it's you know, at this point

297
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: and this and a little bit of it is why

298
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 4: they announced it at this point of the season is

299
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: a little bit of a lull before the super Bowl,

300
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: and and it gives these guys a little bump. And

301
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: and this, this is the thing that people need to

302
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 4: talk about for sure. I agree with you, Brownie. I

303
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 4: don't think there's any question the Bill Belichick as a

304
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame in the first ballot. He's not. He's not,

305
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: but he has that kind of credentials. He you talk

306
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: to him, and I've I've sat and spoken with him

307
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: in production meetings. I mean, believe me, we I don't

308
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 4: know that he would even remember my name. But the

309
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 4: the guys, he's a he's actually he's a league historian.

310
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: He exactly, he has he has a great wealth of

311
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: knowledge about the game. He started sitting in and coaching

312
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 4: meetings when he was eight years old and he's never stopped.

313
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 4: He's uh, he's And there was this move as well

314
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 4: when he retired from the NFL or was let go

315
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: by the Patriots, and he made the career change before

316
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 4: he went to Carolina and all that there was a

317
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 4: little bit of a conversation about having the guy just

318
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 4: be a league consultant on staff and the elegtart like

319
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 4: a steward of the game because of his wealth of

320
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: knowledge of the history and not just the history of

321
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 4: this record setting team and this team and that team,

322
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 4: but more of like, the reason the rule is like

323
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 4: it is now is because of these three rules that

324
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 4: got changed over the course of twenty years. Right, that

325
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 4: kind of level of encyclopedic knowledge is why is only

326
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 4: one of the reasons why the guy is a Hall

327
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: of Famer and will be. So we've Brownie and I

328
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 4: and I'm obviously we have no love loss for the

329
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 4: Patriots and all the stuff that they did, and plus

330
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 4: the fact that you always got the idea that they

331
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: were winning because they cheated doing stuff that nobody else

332
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 4: thereus was willing to do, and stuff.

333
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: And has been described by others.

334
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: And it's listen, I know there's games let's call it

335
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: gamesmanship by a lot of teams, all the teams, probably

336
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 4: to a certain level. And but he's he and his

337
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 4: staff in New England were perceived as being egregious. So

338
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 4: that's why there's still some hard feelings about people who

339
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 4: were in the league at the time he was.

340
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 3: I mean, look at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

341
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: How long did they keep steroid era players out of

342
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: the out of the Hall of Fame?

343
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 3: A while, like.

344
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: A long time because they compromised the integrity of their game.

345
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 4: So I it's this is not.

346
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: New territory, I guess, is the point I'm trying to make.

347
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 4: I've always yeah, I don't even want to get into

348
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 4: the voters or anything like that, but it's you know,

349
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 4: there's always a hot discussion about this, and certain guys

350
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: have a have a well, you know, even my situation

351
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 4: where I've been, you know, I have fans that talk

352
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 4: to me like that all the time. It's awesome to hear.

353
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: But there's always heated debates about every candidate because there

354
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: are certain people who watch the guy play and think

355
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 4: the world of the guy and want him to get in,

356
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 4: and others don't know enough for anything about the guy

357
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 4: and couldn't care less whether he gets in or not.

358
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 4: So it's it's always a conversation at this time of year.

359
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: I don't think despite the fact that he's going to

360
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 4: wait a year, it will diminish his place in the

361
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame.

362
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 2: They also did say that the voting, the process of

363
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: the voting changed and did make it more difficult for

364
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: contributors and senior committee members to gain enshrinement. We know

365
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: that Dion Sanders was pretty outspoken about this, saying that

366
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: he felt the Pro Football Hall of Fame was getting

367
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: watered down because the incoming classes were too big. You know,

368
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: it used to be a class of four to six,

369
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: and you know, for a couple of years there they

370
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 2: had seven and eight member they had because they were

371
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: trying to make up at one hundred.

372
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 4: Year anniversary of the league, they had a big, a

373
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: big class that went in and they tried to go

374
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 4: back and get guys who had been forgotten. And I think,

375
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 4: and I don't know this is I don't as much

376
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 4: as people don't believe it. I don't really keep track

377
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 4: of this stuff, but I get the feeling that the

378
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame would love it if the classes were

379
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: a little bit bigger, because for a long time there

380
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 4: was there weren't that many.

381
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: Guys in a classes.

382
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 4: There was a total of two hundred and twelve guys

383
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 4: in it, and sixty of them had passed.

384
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 3: You know, well, the league's over one hundred years old, right.

385
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 4: And so they didn't have any The Hall of Fame

386
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 4: didn't have any guys that they could go to is hey,

387
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 4: can you come in for a weekend or cany you know,

388
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 4: they didn't have any participants that for any stuff. So

389
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 4: it was hard to get Hall of famers together when

390
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 4: they were all, you know, eighty five or ninety years

391
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: old and that kind of thing. So I think the

392
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame kind of did it, and the league

393
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 4: obviously did and it's it's good for you know, franchises

394
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 4: when they can have a player or coach or contributor inducted.

395
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 4: So it's yes, there's no question that it has. The

396
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 4: induction process has changed over the years.

397
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and based on how this went down, and a

398
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: lot of people are saying they wouldn't be surprised if

399
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: the process of the voting changes again next year.

400
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 3: But that's we've covered that.

401
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: We got to get back to the bills discussion at hand,

402
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: and knowing that Joe Brady is going to be introduced

403
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 2: to the media tomorrow, our question to you, what do

404
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 2: you need to hear from head coach Joe Brady in

405
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: his introductory press conference on Thursday, eight oh three, five

406
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: point fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty

407
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: that's the number to get on board. And we lead

408
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: off today with Ken in Buffalo.

409
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 7: What's up, Kemp, Hey, I'm good after and fellas are

410
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 7: great to be on with you all. Thanks for taking

411
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 7: my call and ask for the question. I want to

412
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 7: address it, but I want to also make some supplemental points.

413
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 7: But to the heart of your question, what do we

414
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 7: want to hear from him? Well, the easy question to pose.

415
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 8: In one that he has a challenge answering is what

416
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 8: is he going to do different I mean, the organization

417
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 8: put itself out there? What is he going to do differently?

418
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 8: I should say the organization put itself out there that

419
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 8: debacle of a press conference in which Brandon Bean and

420
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 8: the owner, Terry Pergula, We're not on the same page, clearly,

421
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 8: if you're saying that you're going in another direction with

422
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 8: the head coach because of the presidence and the unfortunate

423
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 8: condition of the locker room, which, as you all have mentioned,

424
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 8: I agree this was probably the culmination of playoff losses

425
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 8: rather than just this one particular defeat. But on the

426
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 8: other hand, Joe Brady was a part of that you

427
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 8: know malaise if you will. And moreover, we talk about

428
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 8: a performance by Josh Allen in which it was his

429
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 8: worst post game output of his career. Prior to that game,

430
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 8: he had gone seven straight playoff playoff losses a playoff games.

431
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 8: Part me was out of turnover seven playoff games without

432
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 8: a turnover, yet he had four, and Joe Brady was

433
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 8: in his ear more than McDermott. So I find this questionable,

434
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 8: to say the least. Moreover, you had a guy in

435
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 8: Brian Dabo who actually taught Josh Allen how to be

436
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 8: an NFL quarterback. He's also a guy who has plenty

437
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 8: of higherware five Super Bowl rings and was a part

438
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 8: of that circle that helped you to quicken Brady's development.

439
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 8: And yet we totally missed out on that sort of variable.

440
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 8: And then, of course when you look at this our

441
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 8: status as a super Bowl contender, I mean that may

442
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 8: sound supersticial, but it's questionable. Now and then we talk

443
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 8: about stats and how well you know the team performed

444
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 8: on certain metrics. But at the bottom line, the bottom

445
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 8: line is stats are for losers more often, in other words,

446
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 8: you haven't done enough on the winning side. So now

447
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 8: you have to hang your hat on stacks. And then

448
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 8: last year, I'll say this about Joe Brady, when you

449
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 8: start looking at what the organization said about Kean Coleman,

450
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 8: again the owners saying, hey, we didn't really think about

451
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 8: this guy like that, but it was the staff, and

452
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 8: then Brady, not Brady being says oh no, I wouldn't

453
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 8: hand the card for anybody who I didn't believe in,

454
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 8: and we believe in this guy. Well, Brady has had

455
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 8: two years to inculcate this guy in the office and

456
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 8: it still hasn't happened. Okay, we haven't figured out what

457
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 8: his hot buns are. This guy likes contested boss jump

458
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 8: boss to mass guys, we haven't even given those kind

459
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 8: of looks. And then, lastly, as a las to Josh

460
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 8: Allen his development under Brady, I'm questioning that as well.

461
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 8: You know, Josh has been described as a guy who

462
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 8: believes the off season is the off season. In otherwords,

463
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 8: he's not going to be the guy out throwing passes

464
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 8: to his receivers out in Arizona or anything like that.

465
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 8: Where he's also hasn't he hasn't been a guy who's

466
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 8: getting up early in the morning like Tom Brady with

467
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 8: a Google wide receivers working on. So what happens as

468
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 8: it relates to his ability to bring Josh Allen where

469
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 8: he needs to be to get over the hump and

470
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 8: get rid of these mistakes, these rookie errors. That's why

471
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 8: I'm interested in here. So thank you for taking my

472
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 8: call on the was a lot, but you all gave

473
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 8: me a lot to think about.

474
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 9: Thank you all right.

475
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 4: First of all, I don't know where you get the

476
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 4: idea that Josh doesn't work out in the offseason. He does,

477
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 4: so that's so that's one thing. Keon Coleman, I mean,

478
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 4: I'm I don't want to pile on Keon you. The

479
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 4: fans can do it themselves. If you think they've mishandled him, well,

480
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 4: I disagree.

481
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 2: And we know one change on the offensive staff that's

482
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: coming is that receivers coach because Adam Henry has.

483
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 3: Left for Pittsburgh.

484
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 2: So we'll see if a new receivers coach can change

485
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: the conversation there too.

486
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 4: And I know Ken you probably you may have played

487
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 4: football when you were younger, at or at college or whatever.

488
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 4: A lot of people who listen to the show have

489
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 4: never played football, and certainly haven't played in the NFL.

490
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 4: If Joe Brady took over the Buffalo Bills and what

491
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: he's told in the press conference was he was gonna

492
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 4: do it exactly like Sean McDermott did. Everything's the schedule,

493
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 4: that everything was gonna be exactly like Sean McDermott did.

494
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 4: He's not gonna say that because he's gonna be his

495
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 4: own guy. But if he said that the players, the

496
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 4: first thing that they would tell you is that he ain't.

497
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 4: He can't. He's not doing it that way. You can't.

498
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 3: I don't think he's hired if he said that in

499
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: the interview.

500
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 4: Of course. But my point is if you think they're

501
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 4: doing the same, if Joe Brady's the same thing as

502
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 4: Sean McDermott, or it's gonna do the same thing or

503
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: be the same thing, it's going to be massively different.

504
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 4: We're gonna have Eric wood on later in the show.

505
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask him that question, is too, because you

506
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 4: can't change the guy in front of the room every

507
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: day and not have things be vastly different. Now, this

508
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 4: organization has checked a lot of boxes over the Sean

509
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 4: McDermott eras they've done a lot of things right, but

510
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 4: there's something going on in there and none of us

511
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 4: can articulate it or find it because somehow, some way,

512
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 4: everything always ends up the exact same way. So you

513
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 4: do all of us, I think, agree, you need we

514
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 4: need something to change, right, Changing the head coach. I

515
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 4: don't think you can overstate how massive that is. Think

516
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 4: about how big the change was from Rex Ryan to

517
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: Sean McDermott. And I get it, Rex wasn't, Sean wasn't

518
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: on Rex's staff and wasn't in the building and all that,

519
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 4: but it's it has every chance to be just that massive.

520
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 4: Joe's going to do it the way he wants to

521
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 4: do it, and he's learned not just from Sean McDermott,

522
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 4: from other coaches he's been under as well as well

523
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 4: as in college. So I mean, he's going to do

524
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 4: it the way he thinks it should be done. And

525
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 4: the fact that he came from Sean McDermott and it's

526
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 4: in this building where they've been doing a lot of

527
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 4: things right, it's he's got to count that as irrelevant

528
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 4: because he's he's got to get it done and he's

529
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 4: going to do whatever he thinks it's necessary to do it,

530
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 4: whether Sewan would have done it or not. So I

531
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: don't think you can overstate how different it's gonna be

532
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 4: with Joe Brady's He's the new it's a new it's

533
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 4: a new deal, a whole new deal.

534
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: And I know people you know are probably a little

535
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: sore about me rattling off stats yesterday. I was just

536
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: presenting them as part of the conversation.

537
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: They're facts.

538
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: I'll give you another one, and it's not statistical, it's

539
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: award wise. One year he helps Josh Allen win league MVP.

540
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 2: The next year he helps his running back win the

541
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: rushing title. I mean, that's two very divergent seasons in

542
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: terms of offensive approach, and they were successful with both.

543
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 4: Ken so Ken the caller just now said that Joe

544
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: didn't have anything to do with getting Josh Allen to

545
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 4: get better and better. He was never MVP with anybody

546
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: Brian Dable and he only had, you know, he had

547
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 4: half a season to get revved up, and then they

548
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 4: embarked on Josh's MVP season after six months, half a

549
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: sea before and an off season.

550
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: Yep, So we got to go to break here.

551
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: More of your phone calls when we get back and

552
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,440

00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: Bill?

00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 11: Hello, This is Bill from Lama again. How you doing today? Guys?

565
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 4: Doing great?

566
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 11: I could I could answer your My My take was

567
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 11: about I wanted to talk about the changes that One

568
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 11: Bill's drive and I'm very encouraged.

569
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 4: Okay.

570
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 11: First of all, what I want to hear out of

571
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 11: the news conference, which wasn't part of my take originally,

572
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 11: was I want to hear that they signed Jim Leonard

573
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 11: as the defensive back, the defensive coordinator. I recall his

574
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 11: experience in the NFL at all three of those teams,

575
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 11: and he rings a bell. He impressed me as a

576
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 11: player on the field. Thank you yesterday for rolling down

577
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 11: what his resume is. I didn't realize that his background

578
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 11: at Wisconsin and all the rest of it. But I

579
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 11: do remember him on the field distinctly. I'll get right

580
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 11: to my take, and I'll keep it as short as possible.

581
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 11: I think this change is a positive change to Brady

582
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 11: and Dable McDermott. We'll, you know, he's had his chances,

583
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 11: and he'll have other opportunities in the future if he

584
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 11: so desires. I believe in this organization, and if I

585
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 11: was a billionaire and it was my organization, this is

586
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 11: probably the least I would have done. I want to

587
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 11: say one thing about your show here between Tasker and Brownie. Brownie,

588
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 11: you tell it the way it is. You guys are

589
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 11: really good. You're the best at Brownie. You're the best

590
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 11: in the business play by play. I can say that

591
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 11: for sure. And Tasker, I look forward to seeing you

592
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,880

00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: I can hear our producer in the back clapping. There's

597
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 4: one person clapping for you. I appreciate it.

598
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: So thanks for the call, Bill, And that's very nice.

599
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 2: We appreciate that. That's very kind words. We do our

600
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: best to be as objective as we can.

601
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 4: While also but we are fans of the team as well.

602
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: I mean I'm even as a player, I was always

603
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 4: spin and everything positive because that you know, you can't

604
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: you can't have to got to live that way. You

605
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 4: got to live that way. And I still do it

606
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 4: today as a broadcaster. So I know some people are

607
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 4: put off by by Brownie Ice positivity in some of these.

608
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: Well, Bill's flowery bouquets right are not universal. We'll just

609
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: say that, especially.

610
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 4: Over the last week or so. Yeah, Bill, you're you're

611
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: in the minority, this I gotta say.

612
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, but that's very nice.

613
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 4: Thanks for hanging in there with us, even through the

614
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 4: tough patches we had.

615
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 3: We appreciate it. That means a lot. Let's go to

616
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 3: Walt on a sale next. What's up, Walt?

617
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've been a fan since nineteen sixty and we

618
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 12: have a whole warehouse full of broken hearts and dash

619
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 12: dreams and all that. And I wasn't in favor of

620
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 12: this coach, but let's hope he does a good job.

621
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 12: And just a couple of days ago, I said we

622
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 12: need Jim Leonard.

623
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 6: I love the guy.

624
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 5: When he was there.

625
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, really smart player.

626
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: Maximized his ability because I think for those that don't remember,

627
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: he was an undrafted rookie free agent.

628
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a five to nine eighty five guy.

629
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a good punt returner even though he

630
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 2: wasn't a high end elite.

631
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: You know, he's not a Stopwatch guy. He's not a

632
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: size guy. You know, not a speed guy.

633
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: But man, that guy is sharp as attack and Steve

634
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: says it all the time. Smart guys play a long

635
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: time in the NFL, and he had almost a ten

636
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: year career in the league when if you if you

637
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: looked at him, he wouldn't have passed the eyeball test.

638
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he's barely he's not much taller than me,

639
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 2: and I'm a runt. So he maximized his ability as

640
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: a player, and I think that's gonna serve him well

641
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: as as a coach. It has already when he was

642
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator at Wisconsin. So you know, the reports

643
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: were yesterday that he's a he's a leading candidate for

644
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: the Bills defensive coordinator position.

645
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 3: We'll see if that bears bears out that.

646
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure there'll be other candidates too, but We'll just

647
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: have to see which direction it heads here and maybe

648
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: some more light is shed on it. When Joe Brady

649
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: talks tomorrow to Mark in Lockport next, what's up?

650
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: Mark?

651
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 4: I am.

652
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 5: I'm not a Joe Brady fan, but I wish him

653
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 5: the best this upcoming season. And I'm wondering, are you

654
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 5: still with the bills of the newspaper that comes out?

655
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 2: So I know, and the team is no longer affiliated

656
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: with that as well, so that partnership has ended. Okay, Yeah,

657
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: I was the original editor of that, but that was

658
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: all the way back in two thousand and three.

659
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 3: So it's been amazing.

660
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 5: On the new stadium. I've called you guys before and

661
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 5: mentioned this. I keep seeing when they go to Kansas City,

662
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 5: this big hall of fame they have for the chiefs

663
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 5: and everything. What about the bills? Is there any thing

664
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 5: going on with that?

665
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 8: Yeah?

666
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: I don't think there's been any light shed on that.

667
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: I do know that they are discussing once the old

668
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: stadium is torn down, and I believe that's scheduled for

669
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: March twenty twenty seven. Once that is done, there has

670
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 2: been some discussion about what to use that space for

671
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 2: and there are a number of options. Obviously, you can

672
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 2: put up a mixed use facility. You could put up

673
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: a hotel for either fans or a visiting team or

674
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 2: the home team which sometimes likes to stay in a

675
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: hotel altogether for meetings and such. Make sure you guys

676
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: hit curfew and the like. So that's an option, and

677
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if another consideration is some kind

678
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: of Bill's historical structure of some kind, you know, with

679
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: dedicated wings to Hall of Famers, hall of Famers, things

680
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 2: like that.

681
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: I have heard too that in the I can't remember

682
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 4: the name of the area where the new the statues

683
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 4: of the Buffaloes are going to be founder Surfounders Circle there.

684
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 4: They're gonna be something to commemorate that, like Wall of Famers,

685
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 4: hall of Famers, former players, former moments, all of that

686
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: is going to be in the Founder's circle there where

687
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 4: they're going to have the big Bison statues. So in

688
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 4: some way, shape or form, yes, they will be commemorated.

689
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 4: I don't know that they'll be on the inside of

690
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 4: the ring of the building like they were in the

691
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 4: old stadium, because this is a different stadium. But yes,

692
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 4: they will be commemorated. In some way, shape or form

693
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 4: I'm being told, although there doesn't seem to be any

694
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 4: definite answers, you know, and they don't know what. I

695
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 4: don't know what it's going to look like.

696
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: Let's go to Pete down in Pennsylvania. X. What's up Pete?

697
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 13: Hey guys, how are you good? Hey man? You know

698
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 13: I don't understand Buffalo bills media. I'm in Pennsylvania, so

699
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 13: I don't always get to you know, I have to

700
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 13: make efforts to listen to the station. Sometime I can,

701
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 13: sometime I can't. So at night, you know, when I'm

702
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 13: by myself, I listen to, you know, all the podcasts

703
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 13: and all the US stuff on the on the Oudissey app.

704
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 13: And the one thing that intrigues me is why does

705
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 13: everyone poo pooh that we got Brady? I mean, if

706
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 13: you know, I know I'm not the first one to

707
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 13: say this, but if you take the name off the resume,

708
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 13: and you know you got the same talking has on

709
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 13: your station saying well he's good. You know they have

710
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 13: no receivers, but he had the number four offense. Okay,

711
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 13: well that's not good, I guess unless it fits their narrative.

712
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 13: And that's every day, I keep hearing the same stuff

713
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 13: instead of embracing and saying, hey, if this guy had

714
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 13: a second interview with two other teams, that is huge

715
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 13: because that means they had serious interest in him. And

716
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 13: you don't let someone who you believe can do the

717
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,479
Speaker 13: job walk out of your building under no circumstances. That's

718
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 13: a gamble I would not like to take. And you know,

719
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 13: I think on the DC side of it, I just

720
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 13: heard I think schwartz became available. Go get schwartz Man.

721
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 13: No more experiments, please, No more experimenting with guys who

722
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 13: have not done the job. Get a guy who's proven,

723
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 13: who's got the pedigree, who can basically let you know,

724
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 13: Joe do his job and that's it. Go forward like that.

725
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 13: Stop no guessing, you know, no more of this, you

726
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 13: know giving uh maybe No. That guy is proven. He's

727
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 13: an incredible DC, and I think that with him our

728
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 13: defense will be more consistent. I don't know about better,

729
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 13: but more consistent. I'll think we'll have the lulls, camps

730
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 13: and downs we usually have. But that's all I got, guys,

731
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 13: Thank you, and you know, go bills boys.

732
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thanks P I think what we were

733
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: trying to lay out yesterday when the news came down.

734
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 3: Was some of what Pete was talking about.

735
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: There were five other teams that interviewed Joe Brady of

736
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: the ten that were open, five plus the Bills that

737
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 2: interviewed him. And as Pete mentioned, because we mentioned this yesterday,

738
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: two of those teams brought him back for a second interview.

739
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: It was the Ravens and the Raiders, if I remember

740
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: it right. So he was firmly in the running for

741
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: those two jobs. Now the Ravens ultimately land on Jesse Minter.

742
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 4: And why.

743
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 2: Because he coached with Baltimore. And this is another thing

744
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 2: that I said yesterday. For a decision of this magnitude,

745
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 2: more often than not, not always, but more often than not,

746
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 2: with a decision of this magnitude, people go with what

747
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 2: they know. And this guy has been under their nose

748
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: since twenty twenty two, has run the offense for the

749
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 2: last two and a third seasons, and has done exemplary

750
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: work in that area. And I know there's criticism out

751
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: there that some people think is play calling is too predictable,

752
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 2: and I'll just submit this, Ask yourself, why at times

753
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: did the play calling get predictable? If you felt it

754
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: went that far. Ask yourself why, because you had two

755
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: good tight ends you could throw to Khalil Shakir, And

756
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 2: then tell me what other element of the passing game

757
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 2: was completely reliable.

758
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 3: Week in and week out. So I think if you

759
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 3: dig a little deeper than just saying.

760
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 2: Ah, offense is predictable, you might get yourself to some

761
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: places where you better understand why Joe Brady went to

762
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: this well as often as he did, or chose this

763
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: as often as he did.

764
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you want to. I don't know, some people

765
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 4: don't like to do this. But if you go in

766
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 4: and you look at the other hot names like Nate Shieldhouse,

767
00:40:55,160 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak, Udinsky, and I can't remember Yudinsky's first name, Yinsky,

768
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 4: those are the three guys along the lines of what

769
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 4: we think. Joe Brady is an offensive coordinator, young who's

770
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 4: had a successful stint as OC. Now he was in

771
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 4: Carolina as well, so he's got a lot more experience

772
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 4: as an offensive coordinator than any of those guys. And

773
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 4: then take take what you know about Yudinsky, shield House,

774
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 4: and Kubiak, roll it all in and take the names

775
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 4: off of those resumes and what you know about him

776
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 4: and and put those guys, you know, and look at

777
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 4: it blindly of what the qualifications are and what they've done,

778
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 4: and you'll feel better, a lot better about Joe Brady's

779
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 4: resume when you blind compare it to the other guys

780
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 4: and what you do know about him. He is an

781
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 4: attractive candidate. And Brownie said it. And I'm not saying

782
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 4: they hired him just so wouldn't wouldn't lose him, because

783
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 4: if they hired somebody's, no, he's probably not coming back anyway.

784
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm I was like a lot of people,

785
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 4: I was surprised by their decision to go like this

786
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 4: because I knew Bill's fans were kind of looking for

787
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 4: a fresh start and some new faces. There will be

788
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 4: a fresh start on defense, yes, and I knew that,

789
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 4: you know, brown and I were going to take some

790
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 4: kind of hostile calls, and we did. But as the

791
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 4: even as that first day rolled on, you could tell

792
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 4: people kind of took a deep breath and started to

793
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 4: calm down. Even on our show, we started getting calls

794
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 4: about yeah, I see it, I get it, and you know,

795
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 4: and I kind of hope this and that, and they

796
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 4: got their mind around the coordinator here and the coordinator there,

797
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 4: So I think I and you know what choice do

798
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 4: we have? Right? We got to talk ourselves into it

799
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 4: or we could stay better.

800
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 3: You don't have any control over right.

801
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 4: No, none of us have any control over it. But

802
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 4: I since people are kind of coming around to like,

803
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 4: you know, what it might be best? And I'll the

804
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 4: word we have heard and nothing specific or nothing that

805
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 4: anybody else hasn't heard, but some of the stuff that's

806
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 4: been coming out of this has been Joe did great

807
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 4: when he was interviewed.

808
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 2: Particularly about how you would handle this team as the

809
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 2: leader of it, CEO type stuff.

810
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 4: He had some concrete things he wanted to do and

811
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 4: had a plan for doing it, and I think that

812
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 4: that caught me a little off guard.

813
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, back to your phone calls

814
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 2: when we return here on Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live.

815
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 2: What do you need to hear from head coach Joe

816
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 2: Brady and his introductory press conference tomorrow at noon, which

817
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 2: will carry live here on a three hour edition of

818
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live eight three, five fifty.

819
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 3: Then I'm gonna get on board. We go to Steve

820
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: and Amherst next. What's up, Steve?

821
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 14: I'm happy to talk to you, guys. I'm Bill's Mafia

822
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 14: nineteen sixty Pasadena fifty two to seventeen. Let's forget about

823
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 14: all that. I'm getting older and I really love Josh Allen.

824
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 14: I know we need you know, guys call and we

825
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 14: say we need guys on the line, the secondary. All

826
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 14: that's true, but I'm so faithful with Josh. I'm really

827
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 14: hoping we could get one kind of a receiver in here,

828
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 14: somebody with world class speed, because that's the only thing

829
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 14: a coach cannot coach speed kills in the NFL. And

830
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 14: I hope we get somebody for Josh. And that said,

831
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 14: I'll hang up and listen.

832
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 2: Thanks, Steve, You'll get no pushback from me. I mean,

833
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 2: when you look at the offseason, positional needs that probably

834
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 2: have to move close to the top, if not the

835
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 2: top of the priority list. I think you're talking about

836
00:44:53,160 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 2: edge rusher, wide receiver position, and probably middle linebacker. So

837
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 2: I mean, for my money, that's top three for me. Yes,

838
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 2: you may have to address some offensive line things too,

839
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 2: based on the free agency you have there and David

840
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 2: Edwards and Connor McGovern and you know, you can probably

841
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: come up with some other areas. You know, maybe safety

842
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: because Taylor Rapp had a major knee injury. Are they

843
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: going to continue with him going forward? I think he's

844
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: got one year left on his contract. As Jordan Hancock.

845
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: Did he make progress in the second half of the season.

846
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you got a whole new defensive staff evaluating

847
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: this group too.

848
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 4: So they're going to be running a new defense. They're

849
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 4: not going to run the same defense, so what fits

850
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 4: and what doesn't. They're gonna completely have to teach the

851
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 4: guys from the ground up a new defense. And some

852
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 4: of what we heard about the McDermott style of playing defense,

853
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 4: it was complicated, took guys a long time to digest it,

854
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 4: and that's why he had veteran safeties a lot, because

855
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 4: those guys needed to direct a lot of traffic. We'll

856
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 4: see what happens if they get a new when they

857
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 4: get a new defensive coordinator, and what that's gonna look like,

858
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 4: we don't know. Maybe it'll help. They're gonna have, as

859
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 4: we have said every single year, even when Sean McDermott

860
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 4: was going nowhere, we said, you're gonna have a ton

861
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 4: of new players. We're looking at a list right now

862
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 4: of the unrestricted, pending free agents, and I can't even

863
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 4: what is there like twenty there's it is? It's twenty

864
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 4: guys right me? I think eighteen guys and there's two

865
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 4: wells eighteen guys and two restricted with Alec Anderson and

866
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 4: Van prant Or Vandermark. Alec Anderson and Ryan Vandermark are

867
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 4: restricted free agents. So there's twenty guys right there, plus

868
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 4: any guys who you get who will force their way

869
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 4: onto the roster because they're better than the guys you

870
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 4: had last year. It's gonna be new, You're gonna get

871
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 4: new players, new coaches. So if you're worried about it

872
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 4: things looking like they did last year, I don't. I

873
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 4: would question whether it could even if they tried.

874
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's decisions to be made at the receiver position.

875
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: Do they get out from under the Curtis Samuel contract

876
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: with a year remaining? What are you doing with Joshua Palmer?

877
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 14: Right?

878
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 4: I'm not saying better or worse, I'm just saying different.

879
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 4: I mean, they may win the exact same amount of games,

880
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 4: more or less, but it is going to be different,

881
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 4: very different.

882
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, I do anticipate they're going to be adding

883
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: at the receiver position, probably both in free agency and

884
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 2: in the draft. Let's go to Wayne in East Amhurst next.

885
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 2: What's up Wayne?

886
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 9: Hey, good afternoon, mister Taster or mister Brown. How are

887
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 9: you good?

888
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: Hey?

889
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 9: I just want to address two things really quick. One

890
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 9: about what the Bills and Joe Brady are gonna need. Obviously,

891
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 9: are receiver that can take off the top and one

892
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 9: that is kind of dynamic in his ability. As far

893
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 9: as the defense is concerned, we don't know what we're

894
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 9: going to be running next year because we don't have

895
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 9: a defensive coordinator.

896
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 6: Right.

897
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 9: That's the one thing, and that will be taking care

898
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 9: of the other thing is this everyone complaining about Joe

899
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 9: Brady being hired. We don't have any skin in the

900
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 9: game unless all of us are millionaires and can buy

901
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 9: into the team. The last time that the Bills hired

902
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 9: from within, we have success. Well that's a success when

903
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 9: we have a successful team we have with success, well,

904
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 9: we went outside and led to an eighteen year playoff drove.

905
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 9: I'm just saying that's my take. That's what I wanted

906
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 9: to say.

907
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 8: All right, good by.

908
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 2: Wayne's been around long enough to remember the transition from

909
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 2: Marve Leava Wade Phillips, Marv decided to call it a

910
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 2: coaching career, and you know, rode off into the sunset,

911
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,959
Speaker 2: and the Bills, who felt they still had a competitive team,

912
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 2: promoted from within and made Wade Phillips their head coach

913
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 2: after serving as defensive coordinator. They went to the playoffs

914
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 2: in ninety eight, went to the playoffs again in ninety

915
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 2: nine under Wade, did not make it in two thousand

916
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 2: and then another change was made when a new GM

917
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 2: came in so.

918
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 3: And one of us began the seventeen year old.

919
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 4: One of the things that exacerbated the drought in that

920
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 4: time when Marv retired and Wade was let go after

921
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 4: three years or so. Ralph was in his eighties or almost.

922
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 4: He was in his eighties yep. And at that age

923
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 4: and Ralph was the voice, he was the person in charge.

924
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 4: There was no committees. Ralph was an old time old

925
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 4: school owner and one of the reasons they went outside

926
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 4: the organization a number of time times. And I know

927
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 4: this for a fact because I talked to some of

928
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 4: the principles involved. Ralph said, I'll pay whatever it takes

929
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 4: to get whatever guy you can get to say yes.

930
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 4: Because Ralph inside football, so guys knew he was hard

931
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 4: to he was hard to work for. Sometimes he was.

932
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 4: He was a very hold you accountable owner, which you

933
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 4: know a lot of them are. I mean, it's nothing

934
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 4: wrong with it, but he had He was not a huggy,

935
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 4: touchy feely kind of manager. He was not aware in

936
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 4: this together. He ran it like a business. And that

937
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 4: along with the fact that he was in his eighties,

938
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 4: it was difficult for whoever the GM was or whoever

939
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 4: was in the hiring cycle to get quality candidates to

940
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 4: say yes. It really was. They'd, you know, come to Buffalo,

941
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 4: start from scratch, get it up and run.

942
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 5: And they had.

943
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 4: They had a number of guys who bowed out, and

944
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 4: so you know, you got you know a lot of

945
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 4: guys along the same lines. You know, Chan and Dick Jeron,

946
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 4: Doug Marome coming from the college ranks. Mike Malarkey got

947
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 4: his first shot, Chan Gaily got got a chance again.

948
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 4: They were and that's when you know, h Bill cower

949
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 4: Tony Dungee, John Gruden, all these guys were out there

950
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 4: making their way and they were they were still looking

951
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 4: to do it, and they couldn't get any of them

952
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 4: to say yes. No matter what the money was, gotta

953
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 4: take a break here.

954
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 2: When we come back, my broadcast partner of the Bills

955
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 2: Radio Network, and to join us, we'll get Eric Woods

956
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 2: thoughts on the coaching change and the coaching higher. We'll

957
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 2: do that with him next here on One Bill's Live,

958
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 2: presented by to a Lot of Health. This is Buffalo

959
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 2: Bill's Radio.

960
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by Calllida Health.

961
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 3: Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

962
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on this Wednesday

963
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,479
Speaker 2: and joining us now my broadcast partner on the Bills

964
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 2: Radio Network, Eric Wood, color analyst for the broadcasts, and

965
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 2: Eric some pretty big news here over the last week

966
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 2: plus since we last spoke. I guess first we should

967
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 2: begin with you and your assessment of the decision to

968
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 2: move on from Sean McDermott after nine seasons. Then we'll

969
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 2: get into what's happened since then.

970
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 15: Yeah, I would say, obviously a tough decision to make.

971
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 15: You know, you had so much success with over the years,

972
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 15: respect him as a person and who he is as

973
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 15: a man, and it's tough to let a guy like

974
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 15: that go because he didn't necessarily do anything egregious, nothing blatant,

975
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:17,240
Speaker 15: nothing obvious to move on. But you know, in leadership,

976
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 15: you got to make tough decisions, and obviously Terry Pugula

977
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 15: Brandon being pee Weelly, the leadership in that front office,

978
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 15: made this decision. And so you know, honestly incredibly grateful

979
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 15: for my opportunity to be able to play for Sean,

980
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 15: for what he's done for this organization, setting it up

981
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 15: and giving this springboard now to Joe Brady who's going

982
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 15: to take over a lot of gratitude for me with Sean.

983
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 6: McDermott, and honestly wish him nothing but the best.

984
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 15: And you know, hopefully when he lands on his feet

985
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 15: whenever he chooses to it's it's over in the NFC,

986
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 15: It'll be uh, because I'll be rooting for him regardless.

987
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, they this the way this ended after a loss

988
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 4: in the playoffs on the road in Denver, with a

989
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 4: quirky catch non catch call from the officials, like the

990
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 4: fourth down spot in Kansas City, like the digs drop

991
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 4: here in Buffalo and Kansas City, and you know the

992
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 4: overtime where he never Josh never saw the ball in

993
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 4: Kansas City. And this is one thing, one loss of

994
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 4: a quirky nature after another. And it starts because they're

995
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 4: all so unique, they all start to look alike. You

996
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 4: think that played into this.

997
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 15: Yeah, I certainly do, And Steve you kind of ruined

998
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,479
Speaker 15: it for everyone that's got to comment on this after

999
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 15: your two percent speech. I mean that it was spot on,

1000
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 15: but it is what it is, and you know, to

1001
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 15: get over the hump, it's hard to just watch.

1002
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 6: It end in a similar fashion.

1003
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,439
Speaker 15: And you know, I sympathize with the leadership saying, look,

1004
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 15: what we've been has been great. You know, since twenty twenty,

1005
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 15: we got the best record in the league, the best

1006
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 15: point differential in the league, but we're just not making

1007
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 15: those plays in the playoffs or this year. You know,

1008
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 15: without knowing any insider information on this, I think it

1009
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 15: had to play into a factor. You lose that game

1010
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 15: down in Atlanta, you lose that game at home to

1011
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 15: New England, you lose that game down at Miami. You

1012
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 15: looked flat for a lot of first halfs this year

1013
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 15: in a season where it just I mean, look, New

1014
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 15: England comes out of the AFC and on their way

1015
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 15: to the Super Bowl. They beat Pittsburgh, who's looked awful

1016
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 15: down the stretch. They played justin Herbert, who's played awful

1017
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 15: in the playoffs and they played Jared Stidham. I mean,

1018
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 15: it's just one of those situations where it irks you

1019
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 15: and it eat said you, and you think, we just

1020
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 15: got to be better and let's try and figure this out.

1021
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 15: I also think when you get a situation like in

1022
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 15: Tampa where maybe they held onto Todd Bowles a little

1023
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 15: too long and Liam Cohen leaves and you see his

1024
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 15: success that I don't think teams around the league have

1025
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 15: ignored that to where maybe a new your trend is

1026
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 15: in your own building and you know, we'll see how

1027
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 15: this all shakes out. But honestly, you know, I think

1028
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 15: all of that plays into a factor when you consider

1029
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 15: letting Sean go.

1030
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 2: And then let's spin it forward to the decision now

1031
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 2: with Joe Brady ascending to the head coaching role. They

1032
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 2: interview nine candidates in all over the course of six days,

1033
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: a whirlwind schedule, and they land on Brady at the

1034
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,280
Speaker 2: end of it, who was the first person to interview.

1035
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 2: And there's no secret that there were five other clubs

1036
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 2: with open jobs that he interviewed with for the head

1037
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 2: coaching position, two of which he interviewed for a second time,

1038
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 2: Baltimore and Arizona. And in addition to that, I think

1039
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 2: the Bills knew if they went with someone else, that

1040
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: means Brady is out the door. And we know Sean

1041
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 2: Payton was interested in bringing him on as an OC.

1042
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 2: I think at the very least he's an OC somewhere

1043
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 2: in the league, maybe he's a head coach, and they

1044
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 2: just felt that that was too much to part with.

1045
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 2: So how much of a factor do you believe outside

1046
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 2: interest in Brady was in him getting the job and

1047
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: continuity with what they already have here with Brady as OC.

1048
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 2: Maybe way those two things out for me in the

1049
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 2: decision to make Brady the head coach.

1050
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 15: Yeah, I would say, you know, sometimes when other people

1051
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 15: show attention to either something you have or whatever that

1052
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 15: may be, it makes you appreciate it just a little

1053
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:38,439
Speaker 15: bit more.

1054
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 6: And that's definitely going to play a factor.

1055
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 15: I think even more so than that was how impressed

1056
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 15: they were with him through the interview process, which is

1057
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 15: much different than him interviewing to be an offensive coordinator.

1058
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 15: You know, I believe those can just be done with

1059
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 15: the head coach and him making the decisions, not with

1060
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 15: the entire front office present, and not nearly as long

1061
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 15: and thorough of an interview process, you know, and I

1062
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 15: do think the fact that they have familiarity and the

1063
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,959
Speaker 15: knowledge of him as a person, as a leader, a communicator,

1064
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 15: and seeing that on a day to day basis, that

1065
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 15: gives you a comfort level where you know, some of

1066
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 15: these hot names right now, they've never been a head coach.

1067
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 15: You don't know how they're going to react when they

1068
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 15: suddenly are thrust into a leadership position. Some of these

1069
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 15: guys are very young. I understand Joe's young. He's but

1070
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 15: he's been doing it and you've seen it in person,

1071
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 15: so you have confidence in that. Some of these other guys,

1072
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 15: you don't necessarily know how they're going to react standing

1073
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 15: in front of fifty something alpha males each and every

1074
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 15: day and you hit adversity and are you gonna be

1075
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 15: able to handle all of that? And look, I mean,

1076
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 15: I'll say this, if you showed the resume of Joe

1077
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 15: Brady to Bill's Mafia and he came from the Shanahan

1078
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 15: or the McVeigh tree, we'd have a parade right now

1079
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 15: in downtown Buffalo. I understand that people have had some

1080
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 15: qualms about play calling and you know, game management first half,

1081
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 15: especially with this offense, especially this past year. But I

1082
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 15: mean if he was coming from the McVeigh tree in

1083
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 15: two years ago Stafford wins an MVP and last year

1084
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 15: Kyan Williams wins the rushing title, and you see you

1085
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 15: could do it both ways. You would say he would

1086
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 15: be the hottest candidate in the league. I mean just

1087
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 15: he truly would be. That's where That's where the world

1088
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 15: is right now. Where you come from a McVeigh or

1089
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 15: Shanahan tree, you know you're on the fast track immediately.

1090
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 15: So I'm excited for Joe. I've had some experience being

1091
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 15: around him. I had to I had to talk our

1092
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 15: boy Ryan Fitzpatrick off the ledge. He called me before

1093
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 15: he called b And I don't know if you guys

1094
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 15: saw the fits and went podcast where he said he called.

1095
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 15: He got to hop on the phone call with Brandon Bean.

1096
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 15: I talked to him first. He didn't he didn't know

1097
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 15: a whole lot about Joe Brady.

1098
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 14: Well.

1099
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 6: One of fits.

1100
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 15: His big things was, this can't be a drinking buddy

1101
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 15: of Josh's, this can't be a golfing buddy of Josh's.

1102
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 15: It's got to be someone that holds him accountable. I said, Well,

1103
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 15: to my knowledge, Joe Brady doesn't really drink, he doesn't

1104
00:59:59,400 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 15: really play golf.

1105
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 6: And if he wasn't in the booth these.

1106
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 15: Last couple of years and he was on the sideline,

1107
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 15: you'd probably understand that there's a certain level accountability that

1108
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 15: Joe brings on a day to day basis to that

1109
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 15: quarterback room, to the offense. You got a little peek

1110
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 15: behind the scenes of that in training camp. A lot

1111
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 15: of that was him rewarding players and talking about this

1112
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 15: is what we expect and using.

1113
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 6: Some colorful language at that.

1114
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 15: That was one of the episodes we had to tell

1115
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 15: there the kids, our kids watching a earmuffs for this

1116
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 15: part of the episode with Joe Brady's up. But he

1117
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 15: brings a passion, he brings a confidence about him and

1118
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 15: the way he walks and handles himself that you hope

1119
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 15: the team emulates moving forward.

1120
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 6: And a guy that and I'm honestly excited about it.

1121
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 15: I've been getting blasted on social media for, you know,

1122
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 15: obviously being a Bills a homer, and look, I'd be

1123
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,479
Speaker 15: trying to spin it in a positive direction no matter

1124
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 15: what here, just with my affiliation with the Bills, my

1125
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 15: relationship with so many people within the building. I'll be

1126
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 15: dead honest, I am much more excited about Joe Brady

1127
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 15: coming in than I would have been with a lot

1128
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 15: of the other candidates.

1129
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 4: I'll say that.

1130
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:12,919
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1131
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 4: And one of the things about it is Bill's fans

1132
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 4: feel like maybe Joe Brady's not enough of a change,

1133
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 4: that him being in the building and all that won't

1134
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 4: be enough of a shake up. It won't be a

1135
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 4: new voice. But if you speak to and I know

1136
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 4: I feel this way, maybe you don't feel this way.

1137
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 4: A new head coach, even if it was a guy

1138
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 4: that was standing in the room next to, A new

1139
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 4: guy is a new voice, and it makes a It

1140
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 4: makes a massive difference, even if everybody knows who the

1141
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 4: guy is.

1142
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 6: All right.

1143
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 15: So, just to your point, I played for two interim

1144
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 15: coaches so mid season, so we had the entire same staff.

1145
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 15: Just to switch a head coach Perry Fuel in place

1146
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 15: of dickteron my rookie year, Anthony Lynn in place of

1147
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 15: Rex Ryan. The messaging is different, the travel tires different.

1148
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 15: I mean, there's so much that changes, uh. When when

1149
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 15: when a when a head coach steps in, even if

1150
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,479
Speaker 15: he's from the current staff, I do think we're gonna

1151
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 15: have a lot of change on this staff, and and

1152
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 15: there will be a lot of change in this building.

1153
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 15: And not that if someone was groomed their entire career

1154
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 15: by Sean McDermott, it still wouldn't be a change. But

1155
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 15: the fact that Joe Brady has come up under other coaches. Yes,

1156
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 15: he has been here for the last three or so seasons,

1157
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 15: but you know he came up in this league under

1158
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 15: other head coaches, and you know he'll he'll take on the.

1159
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 6: Personality of himself.

1160
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 15: He's he's a confident enough individual, comfortable enough in his

1161
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 15: own skin that he's going to be Joe Brady. But

1162
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 15: I wouldn't expect, you know, there will be influences from

1163
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 15: Sean on his career. I'm sure you spend enough time

1164
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 15: around someone in a building, there's going to be influences,

1165
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 15: But I don't think it's gonna look and feel the

1166
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 15: same from our standpoint or from the team standpoint.

1167
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 2: So, now that you know Joe Brady is in the

1168
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 2: CEO role with respect to the coaching staff, what we're

1169
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 2: asking our listeners this today, Eric, what do you need

1170
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 2: to hear from Joe Brady at his press conference tomorrow

1171
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 2: to feel comfortable about him now sitting in that CEO role.

1172
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 15: I don't think him winning the press conference is going

1173
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 15: to do much for me personally. Now, I'd imagine a

1174
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 15: lot of bills fans want to hear about, you know,

1175
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 15: what his vision is, if this is going to be

1176
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 15: a very similar offense, or if maybe there was some

1177
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 15: schematic things that were influenced by the last coaching staff.

1178
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 15: You know what the direction is on the defensive side

1179
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 15: of the football. That to me matters a great deal.

1180
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 15: One of the issues that I generally have with hiring

1181
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 15: a first time head coach is filling out that staff,

1182
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 15: especially if it's a young guy. He just doesn't have

1183
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 15: as many relationships in the league to be able to

1184
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 15: fill out a staff. Now, you'll lean on a Brandon being,

1185
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 15: you lean on you know, other guys that you might

1186
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 15: be retaining to you know, facilitate those relationships. You lean

1187
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 15: on your agent at a time like this to bring

1188
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 15: in other guys that maybe are on the under the

1189
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 15: same umbrella of an agency. But I'd love to hear

1190
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 15: you know, what his direction is from his staff and

1191
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 15: you know, to me, we're talking about a press conference,

1192
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 15: and you know, obviously last week there was so much

1193
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 15: made out of the press conference with Terry Pagul and

1194
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 15: Brandon Bean tuned into a lot to one Bills Live

1195
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 15: last week, and I didn't envy your seats, I'll just

1196
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 15: say that, but look, I appreciate where this organization's at

1197
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 15: right now, where we're not looking to win a press conference.

1198
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 15: We don't need to announce that we're bringing in too

1199
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 15: to boost season ticket sales. You got to trust the

1200
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,959
Speaker 15: front office in this decision and the fact that they knew, Look,

1201
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 15: the Bills are not dumb.

1202
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 6: No one in the upstairs of the building.

1203
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 15: Didn't think that when they announced that Joe Brady was

1204
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 15: going to be the higher that there was going to

1205
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 15: be a lot of pushback, especially after all the pushback

1206
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 15: with Sean mcdermy getting let go. To me, that shows

1207
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 15: extreme confidence in Joe Brady, and to me, it almost

1208
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 15: kind of drove a nail in it. Like, I trust

1209
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 15: these guys and they knew that if you hire some young,

1210
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 15: good look and hot shot coordinator, that Bills fans are

1211
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 15: going to be excited. Maybe there's a couple sweets sold,

1212
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 15: you know, whatever that may be. They're not worried about that.

1213
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 15: They're worried about chasing a Super Bowl and not winning

1214
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 15: press conferences, and so kind of tying it all back together.

1215
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 15: You know, I can't wait to hear from Joe Brady,

1216
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 15: and I can't wait to hear some of the direction

1217
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 15: that you know, he sees fit to relay to us

1218
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 15: through that opening press conference. But I played for I

1219
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 15: had a conversation with a former employee for the Bills

1220
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 15: talking about this Joe Brady decision and said, we want

1221
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 15: a lot of preference press conferences during the twenty tens.

1222
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 15: We didn't win a lot of games. Right, they don't

1223
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 15: need to worry about winning press conferences. They're worried about

1224
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 15: winning games.

1225
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 4: So let's listen. Our topic for our show has been

1226
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 4: and is today. What do you need to hear from

1227
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 4: Brady in this press conference?

1228
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1229
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 15: I mean, and I would love to hear the fan

1230
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 15: perspective on what they do want to hear from him. Now,

1231
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 15: you know, coach speak and all that only goes so far.

1232
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 15: But I understand they want to hear, you know, more

1233
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 15: from Joe Brady. I hear a ton from him each

1234
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 15: and every week when he does the press conferences earlier

1235
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 15: in the week after the games.

1236
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 6: A lot of times.

1237
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 15: He does the interviews with Chris before the games on

1238
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 15: our pregame coverage, so you get to hear from him

1239
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 15: a good amount. But just taking over that head seat,

1240
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 15: you know, to me, it's, you know, kind of what's

1241
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 15: your vision for this football team.

1242
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 6: Offensively, you assume it'll.

1243
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 15: Be fairly the same where Joe Brady loves to attack matchups,

1244
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 15: so that's on the ground, whether that's through the air,

1245
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 15: attack matchups. Defensively, i'd love to know what direction you know,

1246
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:09,439
Speaker 15: he wants to go. And oftentimes it's interesting. Oftentimes you'll

1247
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 15: go with a coordinator that you feel like that, you know,

1248
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 15: style is the hardest to go against. For instance, when

1249
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 15: Sean McDermott got the job here, he hired Rick Dennison

1250
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 15: to be our offensive coordinator because he always felt like

1251
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 15: that Kubiak Shanahan, that offense was the toughest to go against.

1252
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 6: So you bring in someone like that, we'll see if

1253
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 6: we get that type of response.

1254
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 15: But it'd be interesting to hear that from Joe Brady's perspective.

1255
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 2: And then Eric, I don't know if you saw the reports,

1256
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 2: but you know ESPN was reporting that Jim Leonard's a

1257
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 2: front runner to be the defensive coordinator here in Buffalo.

1258
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 2: The Jets had also expressed interests, but they have since

1259
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 2: hired a defensive coordinator for their staff from Miami. I

1260
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 2: believe he was a teammate of yours for one season

1261
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 2: here when he came back to the Cup in twenty thirteen.

1262
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 2: He did more with less in Wisconsin when he was

1263
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator there had some top five finishes defensively

1264
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 2: with a roster that had more smart players than five

1265
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 2: star athletes. What can you tell us at just about

1266
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 2: your relative familiarity being around him for that season.

1267
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 15: Yeah, I played against Jimmy a bunch earlier in my

1268
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 15: career when he was with the Jets, and then got

1269
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,839
Speaker 15: to play with him in twenty thirteen.

1270
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 6: Very smart teammate.

1271
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 15: You know, he's smart in the coaching ranks now, but

1272
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 15: one of those guys where you just felt like, if

1273
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 15: he wants to be a head, if he wants to

1274
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 15: be a coach, he's going to be a coach one day.

1275
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 15: He's brilliant, He's a great communicator everybody. He's got a

1276
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 15: gravitating personality. Those guys when they become coaches, they're rock stars.

1277
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 15: That's just the personality. You could see it, you could

1278
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 15: feel it when they're players, and so you know, I've

1279
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 15: appreciate So I've followed Jimmy in his career and you know,

1280
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 15: generally it's got some Rex influence with some complex blitz

1281
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 15: schemes and different looks, more simplified at the college level

1282
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 15: because you generally need to be you know, those guys

1283
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 15: aren't as advanced football wise.

1284
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 6: But I don't want to say, you know, some.

1285
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 15: Rex influence and have that scare people because I'll say

1286
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 15: this earlier in my career when we were facing the

1287
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:27,560
Speaker 15: Jets nightmare of prepar preparing for the Jets. I know

1288
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 15: it didn't end well here in Buffalo, but it was

1289
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 15: a nightmare prepping for Rex's defenses earlier in my career.

1290
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 15: And to have some of that influence, and I've loved

1291
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 15: his messaging throughout his career, Jimmy Lennard. That is where

1292
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 15: it's we want to dictate to the offense. We want

1293
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 15: them to be have to be reactionary to us. Now,

1294
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 15: you do that in one of two ways. It's either

1295
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 15: a personnel or scheme, you know, and you can do

1296
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 15: it both ways. You know, the Cleveland Browns dictate on

1297
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 15: a week to week basis where they put Miles Garrett.

1298
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 15: They don't need to blitz anyone to mess with your

1299
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 15: protection schemes or where you're running foot. Other teams got

1300
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 15: to do it schematically, and you know you could probably

1301
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 15: bet right now where we sit, we're probably thinking, hey, schematically,

1302
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,759
Speaker 15: let's get in someone who can really stress an offense

1303
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 15: just based upon the turnover that you're likely going to

1304
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 15: see on the defense side of the football.

1305
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 4: Good stuff, Eric, thanks for spending some time with us.

1306
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 4: Enjoy this offseason. We're just getting started.

1307
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 15: I appreciate it. Yeah, it's been a wild one so far,

1308
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 15: but you'll have a great week.

1309
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 6: All right.

1310
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 2: That's Eric Wood joining us here on One Bill's Live.

1311
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 2: Bill's Radio color analyst will take a break and be

1312
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 2: back with more, including your phone calls here on one Bill's.

1313
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 3: Live, presented by a Lot of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1314
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 6: All right.

1315
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 2: Back here on one Bill's Live, Chris Brown Steve Tasker

1316
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 2: with you on a Wednesday and asking you what you

1317
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 2: need to hear from head coach Joe Brady in his

1318
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 2: introductory press conference tomorrow, which will be at noon and

1319
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 2: carried live here on a special three hour edition of

1320
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 2: one Bill's Live. Back to the phones we go and

1321
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 2: to Dave an Orchard Park.

1322
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 4: What's up, Dave?

1323
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 16: Good afternoon, gentlemen. I think my question would be how

1324
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 16: integral is Brady going to be and working with Brandon

1325
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 16: Bean getting a certain type of player that we need

1326
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 16: for this team next year, whether it be a wide receiver,

1327
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 16: outside linebacker, or of course an edge rusher. I hate

1328
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 16: to follow up Eric Wood with all his positive comments,

1329
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 16: I for one, am not thrilled about the Brady hire.

1330
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 16: I know he was instrumental in getting Allen an MVP,

1331
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 16: as well as instrumental and Cook being our rushing leader

1332
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 16: for the past season, but he was still part of

1333
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 16: the McDermott regime that never got us over the hump.

1334
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 16: So I wonder exactly the pressure that's going to be

1335
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,640
Speaker 16: on him right now to say, forget about getting us

1336
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 16: into the playoffs, You've got to get us into a

1337
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,759
Speaker 16: super Bowl. Whut had been the old home boy network

1338
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 16: here for years, gentlemen. We're the only team in the

1339
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 16: NFL are that hired from within. Everybody else hired from

1340
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 16: the outside. Rex Ryan got criticized years ago for bringing

1341
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 16: in ex Jet players and ex Jet personnel to help

1342
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 16: him with the franchise when he was in Buffalo. We've

1343
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 16: had that Carolina Panther connection for years under McDermott, and now,

1344
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 16: of course being who's still with us? Who should have

1345
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 16: been fired over a week ago. To me, the Savers

1346
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 16: have been doing it all the time, bringing an X

1347
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 16: players to be broadcasters, gms and coaches. So this ex

1348
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 16: Homeboy network, I just don't get it. Why we didn't

1349
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 16: go from the outside is beyond me, and we'll have

1350
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 16: to see what happens tomorrow.

1351
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 9: That's all I have to say.

1352
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 4: Who's your gut? If Bob they're still there, Dave, yeah,

1353
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 4: who's your Who is the top guy on your list?

1354
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 16: I would have liked to see somebody in here like

1355
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 16: Yudinsky from Jacksonville. I know we didn't have any desire

1356
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 16: to go after Lafleur or Kubiak, but it would have

1357
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 16: been a nice change of pace to try to get

1358
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 16: somebody in here from the outside, just to give us

1359
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 16: the fresh start because the criticism from the outside world

1360
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 16: is going to be They still kept it in house

1361
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 16: after all these years when they couldn't get it done

1362
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 16: with McDermott and all the coaching staff that he had.

1363
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 16: Isn't Brady part of that coaching staff since twenty twenty two?

1364
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 16: What makes everybody now believe that Brady is going to

1365
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 16: be the one that's going to get us to the

1366
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 16: super Bowl?

1367
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 3: Right? All right, it's a fair argument.

1368
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1369
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 2: I would argue though, Dave, that you know Jesse Minter,

1370
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 2: who got hired by Baltimore, was just there two seasons ago.

1371
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,600
Speaker 2: It's a guy they know intimately well, having served on

1372
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 2: their staff under John Harbaugh, who was the previous head

1373
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 2: coach there. The Cleveland Browns today just hired Todd Monkin

1374
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 2: as their head coach. He was their OC five seasons ago,

1375
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 2: So I mean you cannot I mean you don't want

1376
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 2: to call them retreads or promoting from within the same way.

1377
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 3: I'll listen to that.

1378
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 2: There is a little bit of a disconnect, but not

1379
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 2: much as far as Minter is concerned. He was gone

1380
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:01,600
Speaker 2: for a season and a half and he's back. So

1381
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 2: I just think Udinsky is a fast riser. I don't

1382
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 2: think there's any question about that. Guys never called plays

1383
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:14,719
Speaker 2: in his coaching life, let alone run an offense by himself.

1384
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 2: And look, I know a lot of a lot of

1385
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 2: coaches out there speak up for him. They think he's great.

1386
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 2: You can't miss on this thing, this head coaching higher

1387
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 2: you could not miss on. And I think there is

1388
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 2: greater risk. You want to argue greater reward too, that's

1389
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 2: your opinion. You can entice, you're entitled to it. I

1390
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 2: don't know what grounds you have proof that that's that's

1391
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 2: a greater reward than Joe Brady, who has more proven

1392
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 2: track rep Well.

1393
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,919
Speaker 4: At least the greater reward potential. I mean, the potential

1394
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 4: is there for both the candidates, whichever one you picked.

1395
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 3: Joe Brady's only thirty six, who's to say he doesn't

1396
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:54,719
Speaker 3: get better.

1397
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 4: That's right? And think about this, You ask what Brady

1398
01:14:57,720 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 4: would have to do with personnel, the ride receiver, the

1399
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 4: pass rusher, that kind of thing. And as we learned

1400
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 4: from the press conference last month, it's a collaborative effort

1401
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,639
Speaker 4: inside the draft room and also inside the free agency

1402
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 4: evaluation room, and the head coaches in there and has

1403
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 4: a big voice in how that goes, and the coaching

1404
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 4: staff has a voice. The guys who actually close, who

1405
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 4: actually coach the players on the field and in practice

1406
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 4: and meet with them every day. Those guys have a voice,

1407
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 4: and the kind of guys that the team is looking for.

1408
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 4: It's not just Brandon's Brandon Bean rubber stampan these guys.

1409
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 4: It's up to them to convince him which of a

1410
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 4: group of guys is the best one and the one

1411
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 4: that they like the best. That's the collaborative nature of

1412
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,639
Speaker 4: Brandon Bean's job, and it is with most gms, which

1413
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 4: is why gms tend to get, in my opinion, time

1414
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 4: to get fired less because it's more of a collaboration.

1415
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 4: If you're gonna fire that GM, you're gonna fire like

1416
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 4: nine guys on the staff who also had to say

1417
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 4: and what he did. That's why it's harder to parse

1418
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 4: out who's to blame for a bad pick, right because

1419
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 4: particularly when the guy who's making the call on who

1420
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 4: gets hired and fired is in the room when everybody's

1421
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 4: talking about it, and he knows who has strong opinions.

1422
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 4: I'm sure Joe Brady's gonna have a big voice in

1423
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 4: who they pick and what position group they go after

1424
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 4: in the draft and in free agency and what kind

1425
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 4: of player they're looking for. He's gonna have a voice

1426
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 4: in that, no question, And if you can't get your

1427
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 4: mind around why they would go with Joe Brady rather

1428
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 4: than start fresh and clean. I can't help you if

1429
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 4: you think everybody in the whole building should be swept away,

1430
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 4: including former players who are broadcasters. I get it, you're

1431
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 4: tired of looking at us. I understand that you're tired

1432
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 4: of looking at me, You're tired of looking at Rob

1433
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 4: Ray on the hockey side of it, all of it,

1434
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 4: Marty barn But the simple fact of the matter is,

1435
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:04,560
Speaker 4: Joe Brady comes into that interview process and this is

1436
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 4: just me talking. We don't have any inside information. Order

1437
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 4: He comes into the interview process as would Brian dabol

1438
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 4: to some extent, although it's been a minute and they're

1439
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 4: gonna ask him some questions, and Joe Brady for sure

1440
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 4: will have some pretty specific answers as to why he

1441
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 4: thinks or how he thinks things should have been different,

1442
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 4: or perhaps how his relationship with the head coach could

1443
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 4: have been handled better, and how in game times when

1444
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 4: the game was in the heat of battle, so to speak,

1445
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 4: the head coach was making demands on both coordinators that

1446
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 4: they didn't like and they would not have done the

1447
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 4: things the same way. All that stuff is on the

1448
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 4: table and might or might not have happened. But if

1449
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 4: you can't see that, I don't know why. I guess

1450
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 4: I get why you don't want anybody in the building

1451
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 4: that we've ever seen before, So I get that. But

1452
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 4: those are kind of specific problem solving issues that you

1453
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 4: go through the the interview process to find out what

1454
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 4: did Joe Brady think about why they showed up flat

1455
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,640
Speaker 4: in these games? Why they kept coming up short in

1456
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 4: the same kind of manner every playoff loss. Was this

1457
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 4: weird last play last chance thing. Why is that? Why

1458
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 4: is that happening? He may have some pretty concrete answers

1459
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 4: because he was right there in the midst of it.

1460
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think Yudinsky or Nate Shieldhouse

1461
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 4: or Clint Kubiak is gonna have those kind of answers.

1462
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 4: And that's what gets you hired, is having a knowledge

1463
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 4: of what has been wrong and how you can make

1464
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 4: it right.

1465
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 2: And just so you know, I double checked because I

1466
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 2: remember that Mentor was at Michigan too, so I just

1467
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 2: double checked to look at his resume. So he hasn't

1468
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 2: been in Baltimore in five years. He went to Vanderbilt

1469
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 2: for a season, then Michigan, then the Chargers, so he's

1470
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 2: five years removed from being in Baltimore, So I just

1471
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 2: wanted to double check, and I'm glad I did so

1472
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 2: I was incorrect on that.

1473
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 3: Let's go to Carl into Pew next.

1474
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 17: What's up, Carl, Thanks for taking my call.

1475
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 5: Guys.

1476
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know this Joe Brady deal. You know, he's

1477
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 17: our head coach now, so we need to get behind him.

1478
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 17: We don't need all the negativity and stuff like that.

1479
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 5: That was Pacole's pick.

1480
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 17: It's his team, he picked them. I think he's gonna

1481
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 17: do okay. And you know everybody's I think feels that

1482
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 17: way because of the McDermot firing, because he was well

1483
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 17: liked and loved and and you know, there was enough blame.

1484
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:38,440
Speaker 17: Let's go to go around here where there was enough blame. Offense,

1485
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 17: defense player, you know, vide receivers. You know we're short

1486
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 17: a few players. Yeah, but like Steve said after the

1487
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 17: Denver game, we had the best team. It was on

1488
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 17: the field. We wound up getting beat by three points

1489
01:19:54,960 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 17: with five turnovers. So either McDermott really coached hell out

1490
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 17: of those guys, or you know, you know, we just

1491
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,560
Speaker 17: had bad breaks. I mean, it's unbelievable, the breaks that

1492
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 17: we've had over the last five six years. But I

1493
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 17: guess it happens because we're proven fact that happened. And

1494
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 17: going forward, I think that we just need to get

1495
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:28,879
Speaker 17: on with the program. Let's go, let's go get behind

1496
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,639
Speaker 17: Joe Brady. I think he'll do a good job.

1497
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 11: We need.

1498
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 17: We need the defense, you know what we need. One

1499
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 17: thing about defense that I'd like to throw at you guys,

1500
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 17: what about you know, Rosseau's the defense, then what about

1501
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 17: moving him back to linebacker? With his lateral movement, his

1502
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,640
Speaker 17: quickness and everything like that, he reminds me of like

1503
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:51,680
Speaker 17: Pat Hendrix was with the Steelers.

1504
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 4: I mean he's too tall.

1505
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 3: He's too tall and long, Carl. I mean, he's uncommonly

1506
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 3: coordinated for a player of his length, but he he's

1507
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 3: better going forward than backward. That would be I think

1508
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 3: that would be tough for him.

1509
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 2: When you're that tall and long, your change of direction

1510
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 2: is compromised because you have to break down and it

1511
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 2: takes time.

1512
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 17: Hendris was like six to four six five.

1513
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1514
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 17: I just think his quickness. I just think his quickness

1515
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 17: would be an asset. And I just don't think he's

1516
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 17: rugged enough. He's not like a buls of Bruce Smith type.

1517
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 17: Prame at that place to be pushing them offensive tackles.

1518
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 17: If he can beat him with the first step, he'll

1519
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 17: beat him. But if he's got to get locked up

1520
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,599
Speaker 17: with him, he has a hard time bullrush and pushing

1521
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 17: them back into.

1522
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 3: The Yeah, well that's not that's not who he is.

1523
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 3: That's not his skill set.

1524
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 2: Carl and I would argue he's probably the most consistent

1525
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 2: edgesetter on the team in the run front. I mean,

1526
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 2: Bosa had trouble with that this year. Epines is up

1527
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 2: and down. John Solomon isn't as long. I mean to me,

1528
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:59,639
Speaker 2: Greg Russeau is your best edgesetter on the team.

1529
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 4: Brownie and I have had these discussions at length all

1530
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 4: you know, a lot on the air and off the air,

1531
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 4: and of course I am I am. I've always been

1532
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 4: jaded by the fact that I played with me the greatest,

1533
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 4: well without question, the greatest pass rusher of all time,

1534
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 4: and Bruce Smith, and we've been relegated because of the

1535
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 4: position they are on the draft. Bruce Smith was the

1536
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 4: first pick of the overall pick in the draft, first one,

1537
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 4: and he went straight into the Hall of Fame. So

1538
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 4: I don't have patience for This guy'd be really good

1539
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 4: if this guy would help him. That guy would be

1540
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 4: really good if he had a guy on the other

1541
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 4: side to take a little bit of the attention away.

1542
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:50,919
Speaker 4: This guy'd be better if he's got a big defensive

1543
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 4: tackle inside of him, or vice versa. If you got

1544
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 4: guys on if you got like five guys on your

1545
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 4: team that all need a guy on the other side

1546
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 4: to help, they're not the guy. The guy looks like

1547
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 4: the guy I played with. Where they're going? Where is he?

1548
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 4: I don't care about any of these other jokers we

1549
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:13,719
Speaker 4: got them. Where's that guy? Until you get that guy,

1550
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:16,680
Speaker 4: you're gonna have these conversations and you're never gonna it's

1551
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,600
Speaker 4: a circle and you're never gonna talk yourself out of it.

1552
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:21,560
Speaker 4: You're gonna be in that circle and stuck in it

1553
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,680
Speaker 4: until you get that guy. Now, that guy doesn't have

1554
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 4: to be a defensive end. He could be a defensive tackle.

1555
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 4: You get all that, but until you get one, you're

1556
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 4: gonna be talking like this. Maybe that you're even talking

1557
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 4: about having your best defensive end switch positions. I mean,

1558
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 4: what are you talking about? Come on, If he's the guy,

1559
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 4: he's the guy doesn't need anybody else. That's it. He's

1560
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 4: the guy. That's the problem. It has been for a

1561
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:52,600
Speaker 4: handful of years because the Bills are drafted seventeenth and

1562
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 4: when they got the year they didn't draft, they drafted

1563
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 4: the last guy there, and the best guy available at

1564
01:23:56,840 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 4: the point was Ed and Ed's a defensive tameacking kind

1565
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 4: of a quick guy. And that was when you know

1566
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 4: everybody was looking for the next Aaron Donnell and there's

1567
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 4: just one of those guys.

1568
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:08,720
Speaker 3: The last time they picked in the top fifteen.

1569
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 4: That's the last. Yeah, everybody's been outside the top fifteen,

1570
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 4: and they're saying, well, the place we really need is

1571
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 4: we need a corner or a wide out. Let's get

1572
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 4: one of those, right, Because there was no edge or

1573
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 4: defensive tackle that was gonna be that guy. They didn't think.

1574
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 4: So until that guy shows up, we're gonna have these

1575
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 4: conversations about, well, if he had this guy on the

1576
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:37,560
Speaker 4: other side of him, he'd really up his game. It

1577
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 4: ain't happening. It's not happening.

1578
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, We'll try to squeeze a

1579
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 2: phone call or two in when we return for one

1580
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 2: final segment here on Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live

1581
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 2: presented by Colide Health.

1582
01:24:47,200 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 3: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back here on one

1583
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 3: Bill's Live.

1584
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna try to squeeze a couple of phone calls

1585
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,560
Speaker 2: in here. Before we go, we go to Mark in

1586
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 2: Jersey City.

1587
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,760
Speaker 18: What's up Mark, Good afternoon, gentlemen, Thanks for taking my call.

1588
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,560
Speaker 18: There was a lot of disturbing trends last year, you know,

1589
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 18: going falling asleep on the road, showing up for two

1590
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 18: straight openers at home, getting cooked and Josh has to

1591
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 18: you know, pull out the rabbit or put the cap on,

1592
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 18: whatever the term is. Running backs going off week after week.

1593
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 18: You know, fantasy owners must have poured one out when

1594
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 18: McDermot got fired because Sean Tucker was never heard from

1595
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 18: again after he didn't face the Bills. Yeah, that was

1596
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 18: a trend, just playing it tight. They just that's why

1597
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 18: those things always look the same. They were always tight

1598
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 18: in those moments like we can't make a mistake. I

1599
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 18: liken it to something. You guys will know. Shanahan getting

1600
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 18: fired not fired. He got the job with the Raiders

1601
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 18: back in eighty, had another stint with the Broncos and

1602
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:03,679
Speaker 18: eventually came back and won a Super Bowl with Lway.

1603
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 18: If there's one quarterback Josh as compared to it's Olway.

1604
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 18: And he always said he said something about Shannon that

1605
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,879
Speaker 18: resonated with me in this documentary Lway, that we're always attacking,

1606
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 18: And I never felt like that with McDermott, only at

1607
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 18: bits and parts, and then it would get reeled back

1608
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 18: in with you know, being running, trying to control the clock,

1609
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 18: manage the game, whittle it down, limit possessions, and I

1610
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 18: feel like, you know, I want to be attacking defense

1611
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 18: and offense. Thanks for partaking my call, guys, yep, I

1612
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 18: would say.

1613
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 2: The only counter to that, Sean McDermott was aggressive on

1614
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 2: fourth down for the majority of his coaching stint here,

1615
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 2: he was aggressive in that aspect.

1616
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, late in games sometimes he'd get conservative.

1617
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1618
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 4: I think you could tell, and that only made the

1619
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 4: games tighter. Yeah, that's right, that could tell. You could

1620
01:26:56,360 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 4: tell when they got close to the game fell different

1621
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 4: as the fourth quarter began and he had a lead

1622
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 4: or didn't, and that kind of thing, and it does

1623
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:08,639
Speaker 4: it is I remember I grew up in Western Kansas

1624
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 4: and Denver was the team and Elway was famous because

1625
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:17,000
Speaker 4: he had like twenty five fourth quarter comebacks and it

1626
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 4: was and it was or eighteen of them, like it's

1627
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 4: some unbelievable number. And that was with Dan Reeves as

1628
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 4: his head coach, and Reeves was that way they went

1629
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 4: and they run the ball, throw it when they needed

1630
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 4: had to, that kind of thing, and Elway just chafed

1631
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 4: that they wouldn't turn him loose with an offense that

1632
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 4: would allow them to score points and make the other

1633
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:41,760
Speaker 4: team put pressure on him that way. And finally, when

1634
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 4: Dan Reeves finally did go, John Elway blew him a kiss,

1635
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,560
Speaker 4: said bye bye, and they did not like it. It

1636
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 4: was not good. Because of this very kind of situation.

1637
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 4: Elway needed somebody that would turn him loose and let

1638
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 4: him score points and put pressure on the other team

1639
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 4: because you can't stop us. That was something we didn't

1640
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 4: see here very much unless the team got down on

1641
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 4: somebody and then Josh would puts like we talk about

1642
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 4: puts the cape on Biz Superman whatever. Elway wanted to

1643
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 4: attack from the gat from the jump and go out

1644
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,160
Speaker 4: and turn it loose and win the game that way.

1645
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 4: And that does feel a little bit like what we've

1646
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,840
Speaker 4: been experiencing laden games here in Buffalo, both regular season

1647
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,759
Speaker 4: and of course postseason as well when they were ahead.

1648
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 4: I get that, and I'm with you. If you got

1649
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 4: an offense that's clicking, why you want to stop it

1650
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 4: from clicking more? I know I'm a former wide receiver,

1651
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 4: so I feel that way. But I never you, as

1652
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 4: a competit, you never take your foot off the gas

1653
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 4: that is as effective at inflicting damage onto your opponent

1654
01:28:56,160 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 4: and mental damage and adjustments of that then as anything

1655
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 4: you'll do analytics wise. So I'm with you there, Mark Yeah.

1656
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 2: Some final thoughts on the tweet sheet here brought to

1657
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 2: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company of

1658
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. What do you need to hear from

1659
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 2: coach Joe Brady and his introductory press conference tomorrow? Eric

1660
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 2: says that they need a weapon on the outside and

1661
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,559
Speaker 2: plan to open the downfield passing game, and that they

1662
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 2: plan to hire a top tier defensive coordinator. Greg says

1663
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 2: that he plans on a more explosive offense this season,

1664
01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:32,320
Speaker 2: handcuffs off and his new DC is aggressive like Jimmy Lennard,

1665
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 2: Nate nothing. It's all about what the team does. I

1666
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 2: believe he can do the job. He just needs to

1667
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 2: hire dogs. We need violence on defense that match the

1668
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 2: dude behind center. So just some thoughts on the tweetsheet

1669
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,639
Speaker 2: a reminder we will cover it in full tomorrow Joe

1670
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 2: Brady's press conference at noon. We will carry it live

1671
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,599
Speaker 2: here on a special at three hour edition of One

1672
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:53,080
Speaker 2: Bill's Live.

1673

Speaker 3: We'll see that
