1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field,

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: in the strated beer of normalcy. All right, let's get

5
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: a rolling here on a Wednesday One Bills Live First Round,

6
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Maddie glab with you as we dive into the world

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: of NFL football yet again. And there is a lot

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: of stuff going on right now, more than I would

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: anticipate this time of year, the so called dead period,

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: it is anything but as an offensive tackle in the NFL.

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Just got a gigundo deal that has completely blown up

12
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: the market value at the position. So if you're a

13
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: Bills fan, you're doing one of these today show. Thank

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: god the Bill's got Deon Dawkins done already. Dawkins said

15
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: a four year, sixty million dollar deal signed late last summer.

16
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: And you know to the two to fifteen million year

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: that's good money, really good money in this league for

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: a left tackle. And Ryan Ramchick, the right tackle for

19
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: the Saints today, according to multiple reports, has signed a

20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: five year extension that is worth ninety million dollars with incentives.

21
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: It could go as high as ninety six sixty guarantee guaranteed.

22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: His guaranteed money is equal to Deon dawkins total contract.

23
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: What the heck? And the Saints, who were cap strapped

24
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: like no other team we've ever seen before at the

25
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: beginning of this offseason, continues to kick the can on

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: down the road. We're not worried about the salary cap.

27
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: It's almost like for the Saints and the Rams. I

28
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: am pretty convinced Maddie the salary cap. They believe it's

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: a hoax. Yeah, it's a hoax. For that, they don't

30
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: believe it exists. Creative accounting is where they focus their time,

31
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: and it's clear to me with this deal, and they've

32
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: got other people they got to get done too. Marshawn

33
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: Lattimore is due for an extension because he was in

34
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: the same draft class as tradevious if memory serves correct.

35
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: And then they've got another guy on their roster who's

36
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: contract is coming up. I want to say it's a

37
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: defensive player as well, but I'll have to double check.

38
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: And they've already signed a couple of guys to multi

39
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: year extensions, so it's clear to me that they are

40
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: taking the quintessential You know, cornerstone players on their roster

41
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: and they're just signing them to mega deals and then

42
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: they'll just fill in the spots with lower tiered guys

43
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: and hope they're good and that one of the important

44
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: dudes doesn't get hurt. Yeah, he could average nineteen point

45
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: two million dollars a year, which is raizy for a

46
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: right tackle, resetting the market at that position. Yeah, and

47
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: he's a right tackle. Not that they're all that different anymore, right,

48
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: but still we see this every so often in the league.

49
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: I remember when Josh Norman got signed away from Carolina

50
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: after they rescinded their franchise tag on him. I honestly,

51
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: there's like twenty sixteen. Now, they resend the franchise tag,

52
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: Washington jumps all over him and signs him to a

53
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars or sixteen million dollar a year contract,

54
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: which totally blew the market completely out of proportion, because

55
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: I think corners on the whole, like the top end

56
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: corners were only getting like eleven a year, and they

57
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: just throw sixteen million a year at Josh Norman and

58
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: everybody's like, whoa, what are you doing? Meanwhile, the agents

59
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: are like, well done, nice job. Guys couldn't be happier,

60
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: got it done fantastic, So I think this is another

61
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: example of that because ram Jack's a great tackle, don't

62
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but man like, I'm interested to see

63
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: the teams, like the Saints and the Chiefs how this

64
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: goes in a couple of years down the road, before

65
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: or when that new money is going to hit for

66
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: the salary cap with the TV deal. If they're the

67
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: ones who did it the right way to just keep

68
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road, they are few right

69
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: now among the many who are trying to be smart

70
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: about the salary cap and the number that it is

71
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: this year. So I'm very interested to see how this

72
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: all pans out in the next couple years from the

73
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: teams who decided to say whatever we're going to spend

74
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: and worry about it later versus the teams who are

75
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: trying to be smart right now. I'm also interested to

76
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: see him. We'll probably find this out in the next

77
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: day or so how this ramcheck deal is structured, because

78
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: we all know that they no longer have breeze on

79
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: their books going forward, so absent a veteran franchise quarterback

80
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: that's pulling down upwards of twenty to twenty five percent

81
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: of your total cap. That's no longer a burden for them,

82
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: so maybe they feel more comfortable handing the giant money

83
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: to their offensive tackle. I'm just curious as to how

84
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: it is structured, like does the big money hit in

85
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: year three, for example, when all of that media deal

86
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: money that you mentioned is probably going to pump the

87
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: salary cap up a good twelve fourteen million dollars from

88
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: one year to the next. So maybe the hit isn't

89
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: as cost prohibitive as we might feel it looks right now,

90
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see how it all shakes out

91
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years, with the media deals

92
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: obviously set to inflate the salary cap going forward. I'm

93
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,119
Speaker 1: just stunned that somebody's signing a player to this kind

94
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: of money at a non quarterback position in a year

95
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: with a restrictive cap that didn't go up, it went down, whatever,

96
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: So it just it continues to convince me that the

97
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: salary cap is a cap in name only, and that

98
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: there are so many loopholes and ways around it that

99
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: teams like the Saints and the Ram and probably a

100
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: couple others are just like, man, we'll make it work whatever.

101
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: And they were in full Don't get me wrong, they were.

102
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: They were in full scramble mode before the start of

103
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: the new league year, trying to get under the cap.

104
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: This guy's getting restructured. We got to release this dude.

105
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Can we trade that guy? No? Okay, well he's gonna

106
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: have to take veteran minimum, will pay him next year.

107
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: It was insane, like the creative accounting that was going

108
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: on with New Orleans. So they did it. They were

109
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: like one hundred and eight over. Yes. I don't know

110
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: how they got under, but they did so. I guess

111
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: good on them and their accountants for making it all work.

112
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: But then to see them turn around two months later

113
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: and sign Ryan Ramchick to a giant ninety million dollar contract,

114
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: it just makes you shake your head. It's like, when

115
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: is it? When is it gonna change? Like you see

116
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: these teams and the Bills are one of them that

117
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: are fiscally responsible, and I think they never want to

118
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: get in a spot that they were when they had

119
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: to bite the bullet in twenty eighteen, shortly after Brandon

120
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: being got here as GM and just said, hey, look,

121
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: we're not gonna be able to do a whole lot

122
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: in free agency. We got to eat it on some

123
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: of these contracts, including players that weren't even here anymore,

124
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: like Marcel Darius. They're eating the dead cap hits in

125
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, and then they reset themselves financially and said,

126
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: let's not go back down that road ever again. Now

127
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: we had an unexpected circumstance, which was the restricted cap

128
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: that we saw this year, Maddie, and they had to

129
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: do a little bit of creative accounting with the restructures

130
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: that we saw them do. But I don't think this

131
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: is near the level of what teams like the Rams

132
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: and the Saints do. Yeah, definitely not. I think what

133
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: the Bills have to work with. I mean, of course,

134
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: they have the looming Josh Allen extension, which who knows

135
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: when that's going to get done, whether it's going to

136
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: be this summer or next year. A lot of people

137
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: have the argument of why would you wait one more

138
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: year when he could get even better, or the quarterback

139
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: market's going to get more expensive at the end of

140
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: the day, so this is the time right now to

141
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: do it. But you have other players on the line

142
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: who are going to be coming up next. I mean,

143
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: Tremaine Steph Diggs did get a restructure, but he's down

144
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: the road last year he's gonna want to Yeah, exactly,

145
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: And I get it when you look at Albert Breer

146
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: tweeted out second contracts for Saints twenty seventeen draftees. So

147
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: you said Lattimore has not been done yet. Yeah, I

148
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: don't believe so. Marcus Williams ten point six million franchise tag,

149
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara five years seventy five million, Trey Hendrickson four

150
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: years sixty million, he's with the Bengals. Yeah, Yeah, he's gone,

151
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: but a part of that class. Yeah, that's a heck

152
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: of a draft class. And he was like a sixth

153
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: round pick Hendrickson, I think, So good on him for

154
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: making his money. Yeah. So the Saints just keep on

155
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: spending and moving the money around. It's like an advanced

156
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: shell game with the salary cap. Cool story that we

157
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: came across this morning. Calais Campbell, veteran NFL player, multi

158
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: time Pro bowler and arguably one of the best defensive

159
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: tackles of his generation, is a University of Miami alum.

160
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: He's familiar with Greg Russo. I think they've met a

161
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: few times. He actually defended him pre draft when there

162
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: was an anonymous scout in a story. He said, Greg Russo,

163
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: he's a tough evaluation. I don't know a lot of

164
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: arms and legs flailing around everywhere. This then the other

165
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: a lot of criticism for the way Rousseau played. Campbell

166
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: came to his defense and said, hey, man, don't overthink

167
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: this one. The kid can play well against the run

168
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: and the pass well. Now Campbell has taken it a

169
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: step further. So, according to reports, Campbell is going to

170
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: help Greg Russo get ready for his rookie season, kind

171
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: of showing the ropes, so to speak, which I think

172
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: is a really cool deal. And we see this around

173
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: the NFL in a lot of places where older guys

174
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: just pour in to the younger players in this league.

175
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: Were just talking about the other day on the show

176
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: about how you get you know, Titan when we're doing

177
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: the tight end you stuff. I mean, that's they don't

178
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: have to do that. Greg Olson has retired. Who's he helped.

179
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to do that, and he's not getting

180
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: paid to do it, but he shows up in Nashville.

181
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Kid and Kelsey don't have to tell people about how

182
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: they play the game, you know, and I think it

183
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: might come as a bit of a shock to you know,

184
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: people that watch this league as casual fans or what

185
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: have you, when it seems like such a cutthroat league

186
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: and yet in the same breath, here are veteran players

187
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: pouring into younger players who play the same position. And

188
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, you say to yourself, well, man, that's how

189
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: the game grows, that's how it continues. That how that's

190
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: how it gets better from a fan viewing perspective, by

191
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: getting these young guys on the ball even sooner and

192
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: passing on lessons that they learned. And some of our

193
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: MSG viewers right now are watching Campbell with Greg Russo

194
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: at the University of Miami. I don't know if that

195
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: was his pro day or not, but he's just kind

196
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: of showing him some tips, you know, how to drive

197
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: a shoulder on a bull rush and that kind of stuff.

198
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that. To me, though, Maddie Campbell

199
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: is still a different guy than Rousseau. They might be

200
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: the same height. Campbell's got probably about forty pounds on Rousseau.

201
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Rousseau will ever be a three hundred

202
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: pound player. I think he's probably best somewhere between two

203
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: sixty five and two seventy five. He's just got a

204
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: more angular build. But man, that is not advice you

205
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: pass up on. Ever. Yeah, I think when Gregor So

206
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: got drafted and we talked to him for the first

207
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: time over Zoom after he got drafted, he said in

208
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: one of his interviews might not have been that first one,

209
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: but he said he models his game after Class Campbell.

210
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: And you know, so many of these younger drafted players

211
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: or undrafted players who played out whatever school have someone

212
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: to look up to in the NFL. And I think

213
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: it's really cool when you have a veteran who's helping

214
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: you out and whose breaking some things down to you,

215
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: no matter how simple or small or minute they are.

216
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: I think it goes a long way, and I think

217
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: it does a lot for the game. Like you said,

218
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, people would think, maybe why is this guy

219
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: on a different team helping someone on the bills, But

220
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: I think it all goes back to you want to

221
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: see people succeed and you want to see people make

222
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: money in this league, especially when they're coming out of

223
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: your same university. There's a lot of pride that goes

224
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: into being an alum of a school. I mean Tredevious

225
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: White talks about it all the time, being from LSU

226
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: and DBU, and I think there's a lot of pride

227
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: that goes into that. So when you can help grow

228
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: someone in a specific position or from a specific school,

229
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: there's that tie that goes a long way. Yeah, if

230
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: he can have a career that comes close to Calais

231
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: campbells which I'm pulling up right now, thirteen years in

232
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: the league after last season in Baltimore, ninety two career sacks,

233
00:12:53,480 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: He's got fifty four career batted passes, fourteen forced fumbles, reinterceptions. Um,

234
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: I'd sign up for that. Yeah. So yeah, all the

235
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: better that a guy like this is in his ear.

236
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: And I think we remember too because we had it

237
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills dot Com. I believe it was on

238
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: our embedded series as well. You know, Bruce Smith called

239
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: Greg Russo it was kind of a surprise phone call.

240
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: But Bruce is like, Hey, anything you need, I'm here.

241
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm here. I got your mar's my phone number. So

242
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith and Calais Campbell, that's a pretty good mentor

243
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: start to your career in the NFL. So I'm really

244
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: interested to see him, Maddie once the pads go on,

245
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: because you know, you can see him move around in

246
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: the spring workouts and you know you're doing pass rush

247
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: drills and one on one stuff, but you really can't

248
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: get a feel for what a guy has in his

249
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: toolbox until you see him in pads. There's more realistic

250
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: contact you do the one on one pass rush drills,

251
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I'm I'm anxious to see what

252
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: he and Boogie Basham for that matter, have a chance

253
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: of bringing to this roster this year because I think

254
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: what we see in training camp is going to go

255
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: a long way in us making the determination as to

256
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: how big a role they might play on what is

257
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: a very deep defensive line and a pretty deep defensive

258
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: end position. And it's always interesting for me to to

259
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, OT is a mini camp. You're

260
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: not doing much. The pads are not on your best

261
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: sea Dermott says, you're not playing real football yet and

262
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: you're just going through some drills, putting, installing some things,

263
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: learning the defense. You know, there's a lot to take

264
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: in for these rookies in those first couple of weeks

265
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: where you don't really see them acting as if they

266
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: would lining up against a tackle. But I think for

267
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: our specific defense that Leslie Fraser runs, the type of

268
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: defensive ends we have on this team and draft the longer,

269
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: skinnier ones, it does a lot for me to watch them,

270
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: to see them in pads because seeing them without pads,

271
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: those guys just look tall and skinny, and seeing the

272
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: power that they're able to add when they have those

273
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: pads on and they aren't going one hundred percent, but

274
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: you might be going thud in some periods. Yeah, And

275
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: you want to say, you know, when you see a

276
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: long and lanky build like Greg Rousseau, you know, is

277
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: he able to hold his ground Kenny said, the edge

278
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: in the run game, or is he just getting driven

279
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: out of there off the line of scrimmage? That's a problem.

280
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: Klais Is Campbell, in his film study of Russo, believes

281
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: he is good enough to hold up against the run

282
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: as well as rush the pass. So you know, the

283
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: proof will be in the pudding when we get to

284
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: training camp. It's less than a month away, so it'll

285
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: be here before we know it. We'll come back for

286
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: vacation to be like well it's there. We're ready to

287
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: all so we all look forward to that. I know

288
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: we do. Yes. Cool thing that Dan Handzus from NFL

289
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: dot com put together. He did his twenty twenty one

290
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: NFL season prediction and he took a dab at predicting

291
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: each MVP for every AFC team, And so I think

292
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people immediately say, wow, he's just got

293
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: a pick quarterback for just about every two with the exception.

294
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: He did not do that for the Bills. He picked

295
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. Here's what he said. It took only one

296
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: season for Stefan Diggs to make a strong case as

297
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: the centerpiece of the greatest trade in Bill's history. Diggs

298
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: was uncoverable in his debut season in Western New York,

299
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: piling up one hundred and twenty seven catches fifteen hundred

300
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: yards blah blah blah, both league bests. You can make

301
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: an argument that Diggs is football's best wide out as

302
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: he returns to an elite offense that brought back its

303
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: entire core, including fellow MVP candidate Josh Allen. Offensive coordinator

304
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: Brian Dabele loves to air it out in the unsettled

305
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: nature the Bill's backfield all but insures Diggs will see

306
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: something close to the one hundred sixty six targets funneled

307
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: his way in twenty twenty. What do you think about that?

308
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: The pick of Diggs as the team MVP in twenty

309
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: twenty one, You can make an argument he was right

310
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: there with Josh last year. Yes, and my mind goes

311
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen this year, just because you think of the

312
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: season that Diggs had and it's like, could it get

313
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: any better? I think it could because of their connection

314
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: in their chemistry. But then you look at the wide

315
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: receivers on this roster, and while I think Diggs is

316
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: going to have a huge role again this season, Gabriel

317
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: Davis is going to be year older, that connection is

318
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: going to get even better. I mean Cole Beasley, of course,

319
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: he was on the team the last two seasons. You

320
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: add Emmanuel Sanders into the mix, and then I start

321
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: to wonder, are they going to spread the ball out

322
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: a little bit more than they did last year? And

323
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: that's I think what some of us thought last season,

324
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: because Diggs was in his first year with this Bill's offense,

325
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: not saying that he doesn't know how to pick up

326
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: an offense because he is a super talented NFL wide receiver,

327
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: but they also had some really talented weapons on the

328
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: team alongside step On it He had no preseason, no erseason, yes,

329
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: and so we were wondering about that chemistry. You know,

330
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: all offseason, the guys go to Florida together, We're able

331
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: to do some throwing, etc. That helped them for the season, obviously,

332
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: I think, but I wonder how it's going to look

333
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: this year with some more wide receivers on this roster

334
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: who are a year plus into their connection with Josh Allen.

335
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: I think that and you got Isaiah Hodgins. Well, I

336
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: think the point is well taken. I think there is

337
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: a good chance that there will be more of a

338
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: job share, right for lack of a better term, And

339
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: I think Sanders is the guy that is the prime

340
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: candidate to rob. I don' would not even want to

341
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: say rob, but to take away I guess that is robbing,

342
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: robbing targets away from Diggs because he is, much like Beasley,

343
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: is an early separator and there are going to be

344
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: a lot of high percentage completion opportunities with Sanders and Beasley.

345
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: So you saw Beasley, I mean Beasley very quietly. Well,

346
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: he had a career year last year as the second

347
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: fiddle to Diggs. Now you add Sanders, who has been

348
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: productive almost everywhere he has been oh my gosh. Yeah,

349
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: And so it's an embarrassment of riches for Josh Allen.

350
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: And now it comes down to, you know, who's winning

351
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: their matchups more consistently, and you know that Diggs is

352
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: going to be facing the number one guy every single

353
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: week in terms of the matchups, or be double covered

354
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: or safety help over the top or whatever it is.

355
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: And so that's going to afford most likely more advantageous

356
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: opportunities for people like Beasley, Sanders and Davis. And you say, okay,

357
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: well those guys might be more open more often, which

358
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: might just naturally pull Josh Allen's eyes to those guys.

359
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, I don't think it's out of the

360
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: realm of possibility at all that digs his numbers drop

361
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: off of it. He still might have a hundred catches.

362
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: It might not have one hundred and twenty seven though,

363
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: so or one hundred and twenty five or whatever was. Yeah,

364
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: so you don't sneeze at a hundred catches a year either,

365
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: unless we don't run the ball at all, and this

366
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: is just an air and out offense. Again. For this

367
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: I still remember, well, I don't know why there would

368
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: be any reason to change it based on what you

369
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: did last year. And I'm still reminded of Pete Carroll's

370
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: comments after the Bills beat the Seahawks thirty four in

371
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: Week nine. I believe it was, and after the game,

372
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll said, well, we really didn't think they were

373
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: going to completely abandon the run game, but we didn't

374
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: really anticipate that we were ready for their run game,

375
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: but they never used it. So that's why we got

376
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: torched in the passing game. And I'm thinking, to myself,

377
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: am I hearing a head coach saying this after a

378
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: football game? I couldn't believe it. But that's what the

379
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: Bills did in a lot of their games. They're just like, look,

380
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: the passing games were working uncommonly, Well, there's really no

381
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: need for us to run this thing, so we're just

382
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: gonna keep throwing it. Sorry, And that bucked conventional logic,

383
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: especially for older coaches in this league, that we're trying

384
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: to defend them. They won't catch opposing defenses off guard

385
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: as much this year because of what they put on

386
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: tape last season, and I think, you know, Brian Dable

387
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: and his staff are smart enough to know they'll have

388
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: to tweak things a little bit. And that's why, you know,

389
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: we heard the mantra all offseason, Maddie, they've got to

390
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: run it more efficiently, because that is probably the element

391
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: they're going to have to mix in maybe a little

392
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: bit more in certain down and distant situations just to

393
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: keep defenses honest so they can't key on the passing

394
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: game as much. And then you have the tight ends

395
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: who really played no role in this offense last year.

396
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: Is Dawson Knox going to have a better season versus

397
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: his second year in the NFL last season which was

398
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: full of injury and he was on the COVID nineteen list.

399
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney was a non factor because he did not play.

400
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: You add Jacob Hollister into the mix. We're getting into

401
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: the teens of people that can catch the ball on

402
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: this offense. The rest of the AFC list by Dan

403
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: handzus Uh, you know, there were a good number of quarterbacks,

404
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: but he had some defensive players in there as well,

405
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: had some game breakers, you know, Darren Waller, he predicts

406
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: as the MVP for the Raiders. You know, the big

407
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: tight end, big athletic kid, but a lot of quarterbacks. Houston.

408
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: He went with David Johnson the run that it's just like, oof,

409
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: that's your MVP candidate. That's what you got. I'm just

410
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: going with oof there. The one that I found most interesting, though,

411
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: was that of the Dolphins. He lists Xavien Howard and

412
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: could he be an MVP candidate? Yes, I mean, the

413
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: guy tied for the league leading interceptions last year, but

414
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: he's embroiled in a contract dispute. He just signed a

415
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: Giant contract extension in twenty nineteen, and now after a

416
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: truly breakout season in twenty twenty with I think he

417
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: had nine interceptions last season, now he wants another contract

418
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins is like, come again, what we just

419
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: signed you to a Giant deal in twenty nineteen. Well, yeah,

420
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: I want more money now, and this could get ugly.

421
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: So I found that prediction quite interesting by Dan Hansers.

422
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: Apparently he believes that they'll be able to smooth everything

423
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: over and he'll be there and he'll play sixteen games.

424
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: But he skipped minicamp. He got fine ninety three thousand dollars,

425
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: So I can't imagine that that improved the relationship. So

426
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very interesting to see where that one goes.

427
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: There's no doubt in my mind, like he's probably a

428
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: top five to ten corner in the league, very opportunistic player,

429
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: and you know, deserves to be paid. But man, it's

430
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: hard to come back with your hands out again after

431
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: you just signed an extension in teen and now here

432
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: you are in twenty one, go and pay me again.

433
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: And I understand players careers are short. You gotta strike

434
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: while the iron's hot. Try to get as much money

435
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: as you possibly can. I just think the timing is

436
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: really poor here. And they got other guys that have

437
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: their hands out too down there. Emmanuel Ogba wants to

438
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 1: get paid the outside linebacker in their three four system,

439
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: And there's one other guy on the defensive side of

440
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: the ball that wants to get paid. It's not Baker,

441
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: the other linebacker. There's somebody else on the defensive side

442
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: of the ball that wants to get paid. Two and

443
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: it's just like, oh no, it was Mike Kisiki, the

444
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: tight end. Sorry, his rookie contracts coming up. I think

445
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: this is year three for him, and he's already saying, Hey,

446
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm killing it here. I need to get paid. Show

447
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: me the money. So the Dolphins are in an interesting

448
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: predicament there because they're trying to take that next step

449
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, and they've got all these little

450
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: brush fires going on around their roster, and it's gonna

451
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see how Chris Career, the GM

452
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: and Brian Flores handle all that, especially after throwing so

453
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: many guys overboard this passed offseason, including five of their

454
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: eight captains from last year's roster. Very interesting developments going

455
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 1: on down there, So that'll be something to keep our

456
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: ear to the ground on as we get closer to

457
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: training camp. News good news, I guess in terms of

458
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: fans in the stands, Maddie. Now, all thirty two teams

459
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: have been approved for full capacity stadiums in twenty twenty one.

460
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: Book your tickets to wherever you want to travel. Yeah,

461
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: Indianapolis was the last team to get approval from their

462
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: local municipalities down there in Indie. So Indie was the

463
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: last team to get approval for full capacity for their

464
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: stadium for the twenty one season. So everybody's on board now.

465
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 1: So whether you're going to a home game or an

466
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: away game for the Bills, you should be good to

467
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: go and have access to a full allotment of available seats,

468
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: whether it's straight from the team or on the second

469
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: hand ticket market. So that's certainly good news. Want to

470
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: talk to you about what is on the docket for

471

Speaker 1: with a host of other things to discuss with him.

479
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: About this NFL off season Twitter poll today, though we're

480
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: going around the league with this one. We had a

481
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: Bill's focused poll yesterday and had a lot of fun

482
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: with that. Today though we're taking a look at we're

483
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: kind of looking back at all of the offseason moves

484
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: that have been made across the league, and we're asking

485
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: you at eight o three oh five fifty one eight

486
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty and on the

487
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: tweet sheet at one Bills Live, which NFL offseason move

488
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: will pay off the most in twenty twenty one. And

489
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: we have choices for you there in case you can't

490
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: rattle your brain and remember all the free agency movement

491
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: or all the top draft choices. So we've we've lifted

492
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: a few for you that we think will be popular.

493
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: Julio Jones to the Titans, Matthew Stafford to the Rams,

494
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz to the Colts, or maybe it's something else,

495
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: and there are some other ones out there that are

496
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. It could be a high draft choice. I

497
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: think a lot of people believe Kyle Pitts to the

498
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: Falcons is a pretty big deal. Now we understand they

499
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: subtracted Julio Jones from the equation, but I think people

500
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: think Kyle Pitts is going to set the world on

501
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: fire down there in Atlanta, which is with as much

502
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: as they throw the ball, and he could. So you

503
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: let us know eight O three oh five fifty one

504
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty which NFL offseason

505
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: move will pay off the most for their respective team

506
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. We're looking for a move here, Maddie.

507
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: That's going to move the needle in the wind column

508
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: quite frankly. I mean that's where we're after. There's some

509
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: good options on there. I mean, it's easy to go quarterback.

510
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: But Julio Jones and that Titans offense, what could it

511
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: do for them? Yeah? Are able for Derrick Henry. Yeah,

512
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: that's what I was gonna say. It might not even

513
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: be what Julio Jones does in the stats department. It

514
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: might be just the attention that he draws that opens

515
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: things up everywhere else, Like a j Brown could have

516
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: a career year for them because of all the attention

517
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: being paid to Julio. Derrick Henry might have another super

518
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: productive season because he's looking at seven man boxes instead

519
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: eight man boxes, because they've got to have the safeties

520
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: deep to cover the two wideouts. So it's, you know,

521
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: it's a trickle down effect of Julio Jones. That might

522
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: be the most effective means by which he is going

523
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: to impact their fortunes in the wind lost column. You

524
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: tell us if you think there's somebody else, I've got

525
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 1: a favorite in mind, but I'm not going to tell

526
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: you yet. I'll mention that when we return but open

527
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: lines for you at eight oh three, five fifty one

528
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty to get on board.

529
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: Let us know which NFL offseason move you think is

530
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: going to pay off the most for their respective team.

531
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: We saw what Stefon Diggs did for the Bills last season.

532
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: Who's the next Stefan Diggs in twenty twenty one? You

533
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: let us know when we return here on One Bills Live,

534
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: presented by a Colloid of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Well,

535
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: welcome back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Matti glab

536
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: with you as we are discussing the twenty twenty one

537
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: off season as a whole. It's essentially done now. Yes,

538
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: we know there will be transactions for rosters as we

539
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: get to training camp, guys getting on pup, players getting signed,

540
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: street free agents getting signed because there's a rash of

541
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: injuries at a position during camp, and what have you.

542
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: But as we look back at this NFL off season,

543
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: we want to know from you, which of those moves

544
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: across the league do you think is going to pay

545
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: off the most for their respective team in the win

546
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: loss column In twenty twenty one, got some choices for

547
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: you on the Twitter poll take a look at those.

548
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: If you have another one, feel free to hit the

549
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: other button on the poll. We always leave it there

550
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: for you or call in at eight oh three oh

551
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five

552
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: fifty and open line for you there to chime in. Now, Maddie,

553
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: who what was your pick? If you had to pick one,

554
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: which one were you good on? I mean, if I

555
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: was going to pick one from those that were listed,

556
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: I would think Matthew Stafford to the Rams. I just

557
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: think him and at Sean McVay matchup. I really don't

558
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: think we've seen all of what's Stafford can offer with Alliance.

559
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: I think he's a great quarterback. I think getting him

560
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: with an offensive minded guru and Sean McVay some pieces

561
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: with the Rams, I think we could really see his

562
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: career take a turn for the better this season and

563
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: the seasons to come. I think you can make the

564
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: argument that over the last decade he's probably the most

565
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: underappreciated player in the entire league. Yes, yes, really, I

566
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: think he does have a chance, And to me, he's

567
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: an over the top move. Like the Rams were a

568
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: playoff team with Jared Goff. Heck, they won the NFC

569
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: title with Jared Goff as their quarterback. This is a

570
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: this is a game changing move. And so you say,

571
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: why did they do this? They're killing their cap, but

572
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: they don't care about the cap, as we've talked about already.

573
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: But Stafford is the caliber of player that should put

574
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: them over the top, and in my mind, clearly puts

575
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: them ahead of everybody else in their division. Not that

576
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: that division devoid of quality quarterbacking. I mean Russell Willson,

577
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and then whatever happens with Trey Lance and

578
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, who knows, but my goodness, I mean to me,

579
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: that's created some separation there in the division. Because if

580
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: you can throw perennially for over four thousand yards with

581
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, you can do anything. In the NFL, well,

582
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: you can do anything. You can do a lot better

583
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: with a rams offense that's loaded for bear. Yes, so yeah,

584
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: I would tend to agree with your choice of those.

585
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: Are there any across the league that you think we've

586
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: overlooked that fit in that other category? Well, if you

587
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: look at the NFL Draft and some of the first

588
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: round picks, there's a lot of this could maybe be

589
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: a huge deal for this team and maybe not a

590
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: huge deal for twenty twenty one because who is a

591
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: Who's going to pay off the most in twenty twenty

592
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: one is our question? But I mean Trey Lance, what

593
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: happens with that situation? Does he go in this season?

594
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: If he does, is it a big time saver for

595
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. An't that Jimmy g is a

596
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: terrible quarterback by any means, But like you said, does

597
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: that push them over like it could for the Rams?

598
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers have some great players on their roster.

599
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: We talked about it in the break. Kyle Pitts could

600
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: be the next big tight end in the NFL and

601
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: how much does that move the needle in terms of

602
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: wins for the Falcons. They only had four last year,

603
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: so if they get up to eight wins, I mean,

604
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: they still might not make the playoffs, but a four

605
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: win improvement that's not easy to come by sometimes in

606
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: the NFL depending on the caliber of your roster top

607
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: to bottom, And if he can be that kind of

608
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: game changing difference, maybe he does put them in playoff contention.

609
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: In an NFC, southware Man, you better be right behind

610
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks if you want a wild card, Justin Fields

611
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: I think is an interesting one. I know you don't

612
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: want to jinxit Mattie, which is probably why you didn't

613
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: mention it, But Justin Fields, I think, especially if Aaron

614
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: Rodgers is not playing in the NFC North somehow, he's

615
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: not on the field for the Packers, I'm I'm telling

616
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: you if as soon as I think it's clicked for

617
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, he is on the field, I think Andy

618
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: Dalton shouldn't play a snap this year. WHOA, there's a

619
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: hot take. Okay, No, not a fan of Big Red.

620
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: Not a fan of Big Red, wasn't a fan of

621
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: the move. I mean, Bills fans love Andy Dalton well

622
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: for much different for much differs quarterback for much different reasons. Yes,

623
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: I'll make that clear. My first quarterback play. But coming

624
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: from growing up in Chicago and hearing my father talk

625
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: about this all the time, I mean when they made

626
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: that move to get Andy Dalton, everyone in my family

627
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: was like, are you freaking kidding me? This is what

628
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: they do, Like this is the total Bears thing to do,

629
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: Like let's just go get and sorry Andy Dalton. But

630
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't the move that this team needed. Do you

631
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: when you saw them make that move, did you immediately

632
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: think like, oh, this is the guy they're riding with.

633
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: And was it because of the tweet that said QB

634
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: one and all that stuff that made everybody think like,

635
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: oh my god, we're really going into the season with

636
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: this guy as our starter. Because to me, after seeing

637
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: him as a backup in Dallas, I looked at what

638
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: Chicago was doing and there was a part of me

639
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: that said, well, this is probably a stop gap move,

640
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, a guy to just kind of fill in

641
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: the blank for now. Did did the Bears fans on

642
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: the whole say, oh my god, we're riding with this

643
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: guy or were they like, well, let's just wait and see.

644
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: Maybe he's really the guy for now. Maybe he's just

645
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: the guy for now. I think it was he's just

646
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: the guy for now. But I think a lot of

647
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: people were he was the guy for this season, okay,

648
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: And to waste another year on a backup quarterback who's

649
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback made a lot of fans really angry,

650
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: made my family really angry. They don't really like the

651
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: coaching staff there. They want they want to ship everybody

652
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: out of town. But when Justin Fields was on the

653
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: board at number eleven, and there were some, you know,

654
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: some signs being put out on Twitter before the pick

655
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: was made that this could actually happen. Chicago fans, they

656
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: weren't going to believe it till it happened. It happened,

657
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: and I think there was a big sigh of relief there.

658
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: And with what I saw out at Justin Fields this

659
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: past year and the type of quarterback that I hope

660
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: he can be, I would love to see him week

661
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: one and just let him go, let them loose. Well,

662
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: that's the next step of angst for Bears fans, like

663
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: when are they going to be smart enough to just

664
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: put them on the field and let them go. Yeah,

665
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: that's a great question. They can wait too long, that

666
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: would be the next level of anxiety. So yeah, Justin

667
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: Fields I think is a great option for that question

668
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: because he could pay off big time for the Bears

669
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah. And if it is in fact a

670
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: division that does not include Aaron Rodgers, I think the

671
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: thing's wide open. So it could be very very interesting

672
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: to see where things go in that division if Rodgers

673
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: is not a part of the equation eight oh three,

674
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eight eight, five fifty two five

675
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: fifty the number to get on board. You let us

676
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: know which offseason move around the NFL you believe will

677
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: pay off the most for that respective team this season.

678
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 1: We go to the phones and leading us off today

679
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: is Chuck and Clarence. Chuck, what do you have for us?

680
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: You're on one. Bill's Live. Thank good, that's true. I'm

681
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: gonna go. It's kind of a surprise even for myself,

682
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: and it's person Wentz. Okay, And I really, I really

683
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: had a big fan of Curson Wentz in the past.

684
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: But I'm a huge fan a Frank or Reich. And

685
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: you remember the old commercials EF Hunting, and everyone used

686
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: to freeze and say, you know, somebody mentioned the f

687
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: hunt and they used to stop. It's quite great. It's

688
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: kind of my ef Hunting. When he speaks, I stopped

689
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: and I listen carefully, and I listened to his selection

690
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: of Custon Wentz. And of course he was he as

691
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: a coach order Philadelphia, he knows him pretty well. He

692
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: also was able to motivate really well blip Rivers almost

693
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: to beat the Bills, and bilip Rivers probably hit one

694
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: of his best games ever against the Bills. Um, he

695
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: picked us apart and we I think we were sweating

696
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: in that game. Um, I think he might be able

697
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: to motivate the Carson once and I think he has

698
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: a definite goal for him and I just as a team.

699
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: And of course, you know head coaches and quarterbacks their

700
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: destinies attached to each other. So UM, I don't I think.

701
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: I think Fat kid A definitely has a definite plan

702
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: for Carson Wich. So I'm gonna go with Carson Wiz.

703
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: All right, that's a good pick. I like it, Chuck,

704
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Uh, he's right. I mean that

705
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: playoff game, Maddie, the Colts gave the Bills everything that

706
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: could handle. I mean we should not forget the game

707
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: did come down to a Hail Mary at the end

708
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: of the thing, and by the skin of their teeth,

709
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they won by a field goal. Um. So yeah,

710
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: And I think you can make the argument. And I

711
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: still don't think the Colts are getting enough credit. But

712
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: they have one of the more complete rosters their rosters

713
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: the AFC stacked, So I mean their defense I think

714
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: is still underrated. And if Wentz can recapture you know,

715
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: the magic that made him an MVP can at eight

716
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and I realized that's four years in

717
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: the rearview mirror. But if Frank is the fixer, fix

718
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: it Frank. I mean, that's what he's got to be

719
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: this year to get Wentz on the right path. And

720
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: if he can, Colts are gonna be a tough out.

721
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: They could be the division winners over there. I think

722
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: regardless of what Carson Wentz. Now, if Carson Wentz just

723
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 1: had a terrible season, this wouldn't happen. But I think,

724
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: like you said, the Colts have just such a solid

725
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: roster that and if Carson Wentz and Frank and them reconnecting,

726
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, does wonders for Carson, even if he doesn't

727
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: return to exactly that twenty seventeen form. I think it's

728
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: a good move for the Colts at the end of

729
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: the day. And I look at someone like him and

730
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 1: if it can work, it's only going to help that team. Yeah,

731
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: And people might say, well, how much better is he

732
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: going to be than a veteran like Philip Rivers. Well,

733
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: you suddenly have a vertical passing game because Rivers can't

734
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: get it down the field, or at least he couldn't

735
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: last year at age thirty eight and never had a

736
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: super strong arm. What was a lead about Philip Rivers

737
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 1: was between his ears. Carson Wentz has some elite physical

738
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: traits that I think can diversify and expand the Colts

739
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: offense this year, provided he's making good decisions. That was

740
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: the problem last year. He became a victim of putting

741
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: too much on his own shoulders, trying to do too much,

742
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: and as a result, he was committing far too many

743
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: turnovers and costing his team games. I understand part of

744
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 1: the problem was a decimated offensive line due to injury.

745
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: He had zero protection a majority of the time. So

746
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: there are a lot of circumstances that led to the

747
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: failures on offense by Wentz and everybody else us on

748
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: that side of the ball last year in Philly, not

749
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: to mention a disconnect between him and the head coach.

750
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: So I have to believe it looks better in Indy

751
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,959
Speaker 1: this year. How much better that remains to be seen.

752
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: But we'll see if Wright can be fixed. Frank, he's

753
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to be if they want to go where

754
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: they want to this season. I don't I don't see

755
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: any other way around it. It It is all tied to

756
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback in Indy, maybe more than anywhere else this season.

757
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: So if he comes through, yeah, he could very well

758
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: be the best move to pay off in the twenty

759
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: twenty one offseason. Break time for us here when Manny

760
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: and I come back. More of your thoughts on the

761

00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: offseason move around the league do you believe we'll pay

769
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: off the most for that respective team in twenty twenty

770
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: one had some good choices so far. We had Matthew

771
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: Stafford and Carson Wentz the two most popular answers here

772
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: out of the gate on the Twitter poll. Julio Jones

773
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: also a consideration amongst some others around the league. People

774
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: gravitate towards the skill positions, but do you think about

775
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: New England I think that Matthew Judon ad might help

776
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: them in the pass rush department. You know, you can

777
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: think about a bunch of non quarterback options. I know

778
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned J. J. Watton Arizona. What does that do

779
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: for them? Janikin Goakway, everybody forget that guy signed with

780
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: Las Vegas early in the off season. Maybe that does

781
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: wonders for their pass rush. Who knows Curtis Samuel the

782
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver that signed in Washington. Now you pair him

783
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: with Terry McLaurin. Fits my throw for four thousand yards

784
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: this year. If he can stay in the lineup. I'll

785
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. So let us know at

786
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: eight three fifty one fifty two, five fifty. In the meantime,

787
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, I come across these weird and wacky stories,

788
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: and I always want to share him with our listening

789
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: audience because some of them just make me shake my head.

790
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: So maybe this only happens in Idaho, Maddie, But an

791
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: Idaho man has recaptured the Guinness World Record. Apparently he

792
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: was a previous holder of this decided to recapture the

793
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: Guinness World Record by covering his wife's body in plastic wrap.

794
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: I was unaware that this was a record breaking feet

795
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: worthy of the Guinness Book. Yeah, why is that even

796
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: a thing? I don't know who thought I'm gonna time

797
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: myself and wrap someone in plastic wrap and it's gonna

798
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: go in a book, because that deserves to be in

799
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: the Guinness Book of World wreck. I think the more

800
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: impressive feet here is the fact that you convinced the

801
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: Guinness Book to make this a record worthy of their book.

802
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: That might be a bigger feat than wrapping your wife

803
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: in plastic wraps. So, oh, this is Bob from the

804
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: I'm calling the Guinness Book World Records. Hey, I just

805
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: wanted to say that I I wrap people in plastic

806
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: really quick, and I think it should be in the book.

807
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: I'll send you a video of me doing it. I

808
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: can do it in sub x amount of seconds. So

809
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: you should, really, you should really think about adding me

810
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: to Look. So the question I posed to you, Maddie

811
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: and this, would you know if we were in the

812
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: middle of the pandemic, you know, maybe the second wave,

813
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: and people are still cooped up, they're on lockdown, they're

814
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: in their homes, I could see somebody coming up with this. Okay, Yeah,

815
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: as a as a time consuming activity like, Hey, let's

816
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: see how fast we can do this. You know, I

817
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: could see it then. I don't know why people are

818
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 1: doing it now, But in any event, if you had

819
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: to guess how long it would take? Uh, this Idaho

820
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: man David Rush to wrap his wife completely in plastic

821
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: wrap with the exception of the head so she doesn't suffocate.

822
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: They were thinking about that. They had some consideration as

823
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: to how to do this, so neck down, wrapping his

824
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: wife's entire every square into of her body in plastic wrap.

825
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: What do you think the Guinness Book of World Record

826
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: time was, I'm like gonna pretend that I'm doing it. Well,

827
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: if you were his wife, it would be really fast

828
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: because there's less of you to wrap than his wife,

829
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: who looks to be about five ten um. Is this

830
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: something that could be done in fifteen seconds? No way,

831
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: way shorter, No, No longer, long longer, because you have

832
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 1: to remember the guy's got a big honk and roll

833
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 1: and he's running around her minutes going toe to top. Minutes.

834
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: It's over a minute, yes, okay, minute thirty Okay, you're close.

835
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 1: It is a minute and two point four four seconds.

836
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: That is the new record. The previous record Maddie. Interestingly enough,

837
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: was a minute in twenty nine seconds, so you're right there.

838
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: So he topped that by a whopping twenty seven seconds.

839
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: He was the previous record holder in this event, if

840
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: we can even call it that, at a minute fifty seven,

841
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: and then another couple took the record away from them

842
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: at one twenty nine. They have recaptured the record, so

843
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's over the moon about this way to

844
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: So apparently this guy, David Rush is his name. He's

845
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: broken more than one hundred and fifty Guinness records and

846
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: he does it to promote STEM education. So I kind

847
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: of feel better about this now, like he's doing it

848
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: to kind of create an awareness. You know, what is that?

849
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: Science technology? What's the e fork? Something in math? I

850
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: always forget the science technology. It's not education. What is it?

851
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: I can't remember? Maddie engineering? Thank you, Jay, science technology,

852
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: engineering and math education. So good on David Rush for

853
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: at least having a good reason for doing this, not

854
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: just for you know what in giggles. Yes, so there

855
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: it is a minute two point four four seconds. So

856
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: if you're really bored and you don't have plans on

857
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: a Friday night, get your significant other out there. You

858
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: can wrap them up in plastic wrapping, cover their head.

859
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: You could have it. Yeah, don't cover their head, that

860
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: is not advisable. Neck down is fine. And who knows.

861
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: You could have a Guinness Book of World Records. Get

862
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: your name in the book, because apparently just about anything

863
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: qualifies as a worthwhile event to put in their book.

864
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: Wrapping your wife in plastic rap. I wonder what the

865
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: longest radio show is. If that's oh, that's got to

866
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 1: be a long one, over twenty four hours, easy, right,

867
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: I would think so, like you're doing a marathon of

868
00:47:55,400 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: some sorts of counting down a kickoff or something like that.

869
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: Longest pregame show the Games on Sunday. We're starting on Tuesday.

870
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: Here we go March madness, something like that, where you

871
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: just go around the clock. I don't know, Yeah, that

872
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: would be good. It's got to be over twenty four

873
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: I'll bet it's maybe even more than forty eight hours.

874
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: Somebody just went gaga on that, and I would should

875
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: can talk for longer than forty eight hours. Yeah, I

876
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: don't think it was one person. Had to be like

877
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: a radio team, I would think, right, I think that's

878
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: probably most likely what happened in that situation. But yes,

879
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: good on David Rush for creating some exposure for STEM

880
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: education by doing the world record. I hope he thinks

881
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: it's something a little more interesting than that, because here's

882
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: the reason why I say that, Maddie. You can't tell

883
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: me that there's some measure of science, technology, engineering or

884
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 1: math involved in wrapping your wife in plastic wrap. Can't

885
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: we just get some kind of science technology activity in

886
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: the Guinness Book that would further promote STEM education. So

887
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: that's my challenge to David Rush. Come up with a

888
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: better event for the book that ties into STEM education

889
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: and then you'll have it all put together. So that's

890
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: your that's your next challenge, David Rush. We wait to

891
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: hear from you eagerly. We have to take a break here,

892
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: but when Manny and I come back, more of your

893
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 1: phone call so AJ and Lewiston hang Tight will get

894
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: first to you when we return here. On One Bill's

895
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: Live presented by Colota Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio had

896
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has spent all all over the

897
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: fields kind of unique. He was kind of a dual

898
00:49:56,239 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: role player for you. State Steve a blimp. We're not

899
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: even in the straged fear of normalcy, never normal and

900
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: proud of it. It's a Wednesday edition of One Bills Live.

901
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Maddie glab with you as we press on

902
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: on this day where we are asking you on the

903
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today, what is the offseason move that you

904
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,959
Speaker 1: witnessed in the NFL that you believe will pay off

905
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: the most in the twenty twenty one season. And we're

906
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: chiefly looking for a difference in the wind lost column

907
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,439
Speaker 1: for their respective team. Now, we mentioned in the last

908
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 1: segment this Idaho man who broke a Guinness World record

909
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: for shortest time to wrap his spouse in plastic wrap

910
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: neck down, not head up, because that would cause a

911
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: whole other set of issues and it wouldn't be the

912
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: Guinness Book of World Records calling beats the authority. How

913
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 1: fast can the ambulance get to the house Guinness Book

914
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: World or the authority if the worst happened in any event,

915
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: we mentioned this Idaho man that broke the world record

916
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: did in a minute in two seconds and a Bills

917
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: fan that listens to the show, Jeff chimes in on

918
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: Twitter as a native New Yorker and Bills fan now

919
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: living in Idaho. The outdoors and nature scenery is beautiful.

920
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: Most of the people are great, but some are interesting.

921
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: And he's referring to the guy that decided wrapping his

922
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: wife in Plasio grab would be a worthwhile Guinness World record.

923
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: So thanks for chiming in, Jeff. We appreciate that. Mattie

924
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: also got an assist when she threw the question out

925
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: there asking how long is the longest radio show in

926
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: the Guinness World Record Book? And we got the answer right, Maddie,

927
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: We did. The answer is eighty eight hours was the

928
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: longest talk radio show. It happened in Japan, according to

929
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: the Guinness World Records article, and they were doing it

930
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: in order to help people who have suffered from natural disaster.

931
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: Eighty eight hours, so in twenty seventeen. So that's good,

932
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, good on them. Good on David Rush, who

933
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: does these world wreck these silly world records to promote

934
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: stem education. I just want him to come up with

935
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: something that's stem education related, incorporate that into the world

936
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: records you're trying to set, you know, like longest mousetrap,

937
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: Remember that game mousetrap? Like that involves some ingenuity and

938
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: some engineering of sorts or science at the very least,

939
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: build something like that. Let's get the longest mousetrap or something.

940
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: Do one of those deals. Let me see a pull

941
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: that off. I think I might be more impressed. It'll

942
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: be more related to what he's trying to get exposure for.

943
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: In any event, though, we are discussing some of the

944
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: biggest offseason moves in the NFL from the spring and

945
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: the summer for that matter. Now that we're in summer

946
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: and the poll is out, it's up and running, we

947
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 1: have choices for you there which NFL offseason move will

948
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: pay off the most in twenty twenty one? And guys,

949
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: what do we have on the return in terms of

950
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: the votes? What is out in front? Is it Stafford? Yeah,

951
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: it's Stafford, Matthew Stafford to the Rams getting almost sixty

952
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: percent of the vote, Carson Wentz a distant second, Julio

953
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: Jones now getting more of the vote than Carson Wentz.

954
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: How about that? Who? That is something? You know? I mean,

955
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: I knew there was going to be some support for

956
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: the Julio ad. I didn't know if it was going

957
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: to eclipse Carson Wentz to the Colts, And I think

958
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: it's because there are a lot of people still on

959
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: the fence. Wasn't still on the fence for Carson. I

960
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,720
Speaker 1: did not mean to rhyme that at all. It just happened.

961
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: It's very We're a very organic showman. I think people

962
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: still are very much on the fence about whether Carson

963
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: Wentz can recapture his form of twenty seventeen, because it's

964
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: been largely downhill ever since then. Our first caller of

965
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: the day actually felt like Carson Wentz would be the

966
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: biggest payoff move of the offseason because he believes in

967
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: Frank Reich more so that he didn't even mention Carson Wentz.

968
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: He's like I believe in Frank and what he could

969
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: do with players. He's a good motivator. He's had success

970
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz before, so he's relying on fix at

971
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: Frank more than he is on Carson Wentz. But like

972
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: you brought up, you know, Philip Rivers last year, I

973
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: think the addition can only help them. I don't think

974
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 1: it'll hurt. I think the team is going to be

975
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: better this year. How much better to be determined. I

976
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: think there'll be a playoff team again, though. Yeah, oh,

977
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: I think there'll be a playoff team. I think there'll

978
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 1: be a division champion contender in the AFC South because

979
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: even though the Titans added Julio, they got a lot

980
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: of things to fix on the defensive side of the

981
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: ball and pulling that all together after completely revamping their

982
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: second I mean, Kevin Byers is the only guy back

983
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: in their entire secondary, and everybody else is new and

984
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: most of them are unproven, with the exception to Genora's Jenkins.

985
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: And it's like, hey, you may score thirty points a game,

986
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: but the opponent might be scoring thirty five if you

987
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: don't get the back end fixed. So I could see

988
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee maybe taking a half a step back, not a

989
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: big step, but a half a step, and that might

990
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: open the door enough for Indianapolis to squeak through and

991
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: take the AFC South title this year. We'll have to see.

992
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: And I think people are underestimating Jacksonville. I know we

993
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: were talking about this on the show yesterday, Maddie, Trevor

994
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence has weapons to make use of the question there,

995
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 1: much like Tennessee is what's the state of their defense? Yes,

996
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,280
Speaker 1: do they have anybody that can cover people? Because otherwise

997
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 1: they're going to be in shootouts every week too, and

998
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,399
Speaker 1: Houston is not even worthy of discussion. I think they're

999
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna be lucky to win two or three games this year.

1000
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: They'll be right back at the top of the draft

1001
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: board next year. Yeah. I don't think that's somebody that

1002
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: has any offseason moves that are going to pay off

1003
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: for them. That's a team that has a lot of

1004
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: question marks going into the future. They made a lot

1005
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 1: of offseason moves. I don't know if any of them

1006
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: are going to mean a hill of beans in terms

1007
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: of their one loss column. But let's go to the

1008
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, which, as we know, was brought to you

1009
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

1010
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and Maddie our first ones from RJ. Right. Yes,

1011
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: RJ says, Matthew Stafford is a dog. So many people

1012
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: underestimate him. Now he's in an offense that has so

1013
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: many targets, He's going to have a field day every Sunday.

1014
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: Josh matt Stafford will be the top two contenders for

1015
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 1: the Passing Crown this year. Well, I like the way

1016
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: that sounds. I think that with the extra game this year,

1017
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: Maddie players like Stafford and Allen, provided they stay healthy

1018
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: and play all seventeen games, they're gonna be flirting with

1019
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: five thousand yards. I mean, Josh got to what forty

1020
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: four hundred last year playing in sixteen games and didn't

1021
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: play and didn't play the last two quarters in Week

1022
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: seventeen and the blowout win over Miami. Now he's going

1023
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: to play a whole extra game. Steve's already done the averages.

1024
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, he's got an average two hundred ninety

1025
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: two yards passing a game. I think that's what he

1026
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: came up with. So yeah, I think five thousand yards

1027
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: is double for Josh, especially if they throw as much

1028
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: as they did last year. And I would think with

1029
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: Stafford now on the Rams, mcvey's gonna call a whole

1030
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: lot more pass plays than he already does. So yeah,

1031
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: I think those two guys could be up around five k.

1032
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: Not easily, but I think they'll be flirting with it

1033
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: come the end of the season. Maybe they don't get

1034
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: The only way they don't get there is if a

1035
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,479
Speaker 1: they're not healthy for all seventeen games, or B they've

1036
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: got a division title locked up so early that they're

1037
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: sitting out the seventeenth game. You know what? Amazing? Oh? No,

1038
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: I would I'd take a division title and having my

1039
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: starting quarterback sit the last week rather than play to

1040
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: get five thousand passing yards. What the heck does that

1041
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: mean in fifty years? Nothing? Right? Yeah, forty five hundred

1042
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: yards last season against the defenses that we faced versus

1043
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: this season's schedule, which is easier than last season's an

1044
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: extra game. I think Josh Allen could be in the

1045
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: five K marc And yeah, he faced four four top

1046
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: ten passing defenses year, I think seven over the last

1047
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: two years, and he's gone six and one against the

1048
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: bread Jack on the tweet sheet says, I don't think

1049
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: any of the above Julio plus Stafford maybe passed their prime,

1050
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: and Wentz may never be the same guy. He was

1051
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: brutal last year. You're right he was. It's probably Tampa

1052
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: and Buffalo both resigning their guys and returning championship caliber rosters.

1053
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: Don't count out the Hoodie With those top tight ends,

1054
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: they could be scary. What do you think about that? Like,

1055
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily one offseason move, but it is an

1056
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: offseason approach that the Bucks and the Bills clearly took

1057
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: this offseason which was let's get all of our own

1058
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:48,479
Speaker 1: guys back. I mean the Bucks got Dama Consue back,

1059
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: they got Lavonte David back under contract, bunch of guys

1060
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: that they were wondering, Hey, is this guy gonna be

1061
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: out the door? Where are we go? Oh and Jack

1062
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: Barrett obviously who they franchised, and we saw the Bills

1063
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: do the same thing. Milano, Daryl Williams, John Feliciano. We

1064
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: can run down the list. What do we think of

1065
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: that approach and does that offer a bigger payoff than

1066
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: some of these ones that we're talking about. I mean,

1067
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: the Bucks resigned and brought or brought back every single

1068
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: one of their starters from this past season, and so

1069
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,919
Speaker 1: when you look at it that way, and of course

1070
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: what the Buffalo Bills did too. Now the Buffalo Bills

1071
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: were Super Bowl champs, but I think that holds a

1072
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,959
Speaker 1: lot of weight. When you bring back basically your entire

1073
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: starting roster and some other pieces in there that rotated

1074
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: throughout the game is big time. But I think it's

1075
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: easier to look at, you know, a Matt Stafford type

1076
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: of deal where it's one big shiny toy being able

1077
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: to affect a whole team. I think Jack is looking

1078
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: beyond the regular answers and looking into a group of

1079
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 1: people who could. Yeah, truthfully, he's cheating a little He's

1080
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: cheating a little bit. We'll just be honest about it

1081
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 1: because he's taking a offseason philosophy and trying to mold

1082
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: it into the poll. So you're kind of bending the

1083
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: rules a little bit. Jack. We'll let it go, especially

1084
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: since you mentioned the bill, so we'll leave it at that, Tiffany,

1085
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: Emanuel Sanders is my pick. His edition adds another solid

1086
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: route runner for Josh, especially when it comes to converting

1087
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: third downs. Coach Dable will have an arsenal of pass

1088
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: plays to call with all our weapons, keeping defenses on

1089
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: their heels. Maddie, when I ran down all thirty two

1090
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: teams in the league, I tried to pick one player

1091
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: for the biggest offseason payoff move, and I wrote Sanders

1092
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: down for Buffalo. Would you agree with that or would

1093
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: you pick somebody else? Sanders Milano would also be on

1094
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: my list two. I would say Milano is probably the

1095
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: only other guy I'd have in contention with what Sanders

1096
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: could do. But I think Sanda is a great pick.

1097
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: If you're looking just at the Bills. I think that's

1098
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: a good option for someone who could really help this

1099
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: team in twenty twenty one. Not that they need a

1100
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: lot of help when it comes to wide receivers. And

1101
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 1: I loved John Brown and how he was able to

1102
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: help the Buffalo Bills, but you talked about it in

1103
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: the last segment with Cole Beasley and how versatile of

1104
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 1: a receiver he is and just how those guys can

1105
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: separate fast and quickly, and that Emmanuel Sanders can do

1106
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: the same exact thing. I'm looking forward to see how

1107
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: they place him into this offense. And he is such

1108
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: a productive wide receiver for his age in the NFL,

1109
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: for how long he's been in the game. For him

1110
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: to be still this productive in the NFL is very unique,

1111
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: something you don't see often. I think his work ethic

1112
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: two speaks volumes from what we've heard and seen of

1113
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: him at OTAs in mini camps, So I think this

1114
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: could be an addition that helps beyond the stats that

1115
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: we see him rack up on the stat line, Sanders

1116
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 1: is the personification of diversifying your offense, like John Brown,

1117
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: brings value to your offense. I don't know if he

1118
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: brings quite the diversity to your offense that Sanders does.

1119
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: And I asked that question specifically if Brian Dabele when

1120
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: he was made available to the media last earlier this month,

1121
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: actually right before minicamp, and he basically said he's flexible

1122
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: in terms of being able to play inside and outside,

1123
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: a lot of experience, as you mentioned, played a lot

1124
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: of different teams and a lot of different systems. He

1125
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: has a skill set that we like. I'm quoting Brian Dable.

1126
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: Now we'll put him in the mix. He's a smart guy,

1127
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: has been around for a while, so it's been good

1128
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: to get him, meet him, build a relationship with him,

1129
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: and kind of throw him into the fire. But he

1130
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: said he's got a really good football mind. He's an

1131
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: instinctive player. Will give him as much as he can handle,

1132
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: which to this point he's been able to handle all

1133
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: the different spots that we've put him in. Still like

1134
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: our receivers just didn't you know. No, I don't like

1135
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: our receivers to just know one spot and that's all.

1136
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: I think it's important to understand everyone's position. So it

1137
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 1: looks like he is going to be getting a full

1138
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: plate of assignments which to me says he's also going

1139
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: to be on the field a lot. Yeah, John Brown

1140
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 1: had a role. I keep going back to John Brown

1141
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 1: and they're not the same exact receivers by any means,

1142
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: but we know John Brown was a deep threat on

1143
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: this team and served as that. But when you have

1144
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: someone who can go inside and go outside in terms

1145
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: of where he's lining up as a wide receiver and

1146
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: what routes he can run and what he can do,

1147
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: that seems like a great tool, a great weapon for

1148
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: your offense, especially this offense, when you are deploying that

1149
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: many receivers, when you're lining up that many receivers versatilities,

1150
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: what's going to be the thing that stands out and

1151
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: what's going to be the thing that confuses defenses when

1152
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,439
Speaker 1: you're going five wide? Yeah, and I snap after snap,

1153
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and I think it helps too. If God forbid, injury

1154
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: hits your wide receiving corps, like let's just say Beasley,

1155
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't get hurt in week sixteen like he did

1156
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: last year, what if he gets hurt in week three,

1157
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: you can move Sanders over to that slot role that

1158
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Beasley plays, and off you go. You don't miss a

1159
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: beat because he's capable of filling that role, and then

1160
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: you just have Davis fill in for Sanders and down

1161
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: the line you go. I think that affords you a

1162
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: different kind of depth of talent here. Now, John Brown

1163
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: left the lineup, and he was replaceable because he had

1164
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: a relatively singular role. As you mentioned, Sanders is so

1165
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: diversified in his skill set that you put him on

1166
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: the field because he's valuable. But if you need somebody

1167
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: to step in for somebody else who's suddenly out of

1168
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: the lineup, like if Diggs goes out of the lineup,

1169
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: he could do that role. So yeah, valuable piece. And

1170
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: I remember seeing on the embedded series on Buffalo bills

1171
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: dot Com where assistant general manager Joe Shane, you know,

1172
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: he introduces himself to He said, we've been trying to

1173
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: get you for a couple of years now, and there's

1174
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: a reason why. It's because of the diversity that he

1175
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: offers your passing game. In the meantime, they've been able

1176
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: to acquire Beasley and Digs and now you add Sanders

1177
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: finally after two years of pursuing him, and off you go.

1178
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: But there's a diversification element to his skill set that

1179
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we've all come to realize yet, and

1180
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: hopefully we don't have to realize the full breath of it,

1181
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: because that means somebody's hurting out of the lineup. But

1182
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: just knowing that it's there, I think it's going to

1183
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: be such a security blanket for what is the calling

1184
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: card for this offense, which is the passing game. You

1185
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: don't want the passing game crippled when it's what you're

1186
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: riding as your identity. For lack of a better term,

1187
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: eight oh three five fifty one eighty eight five fifty

1188
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: two to five fifty, who's next on the tweet? Gen Man,

1189
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: I think it's Eli. All right, We've got Eli, he says,

1190
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: even though I want to say Carson of the Colts,

1191
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: I will pick Stafford to the Rams. He is going

1192
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: to a team where he has better weapons than the Lions.

1193
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: He is going to the best situation. Rams aren't a

1194
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: win now mode and they have a team capable of

1195
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: doing so. Acres Robert Woods, cup Ramsey and company. I

1196
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: didn't even mention Aaron Donalds. Yeah, they got a good

1197
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: crew out there. They've been in go for it mode

1198
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: ever since they made it to the Super Bowl. A

1199
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and that's why they are one

1200
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: of the teams that fiscally keeps kicking the can down

1201
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: the road with respect to the salary cap. They're trying

1202
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: to win in this window here where they have Aaron

1203
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: Donald and his prime, Janeln Ramsey entering his prime, and

1204
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 1: then Robert Woods and Cooper Cup still in the prime

1205
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: of their careers, respectively. And so now you drop a

1206
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback in in Matthew Stafford, and I think they're

1207
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: hoping they can be like a Denver Broncos team at

1208
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: the end of John Elway's career or something like that,

1209
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: where you've got a veteran quarterback with weapons around him

1210
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: who can put the team over the top. Stafford is

1211
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: an easy pick, I think, and I'm not knocking what

1212
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: Eli is saying, because you and I pick the same person.

1213
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: As far as the move that should pay off the most.

1214
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: I want to see how far they can take it.

1215
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 1: The NFC West is not an easy division, as the

1216
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: Bills saw it last year having to play it play

1217
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 1: against it, but I think Stafford gives them a leg

1218
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: up on everybody else in the division, even Seattle with

1219
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, because I don't think the Seattle defense is

1220
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: as good as the Rams defense. Now, the Rams did

1221
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: lose their defensive coordinator, Brandon Staley is now the head

1222
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: coach across town with the Chargers, So how good will

1223
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: they still be on the defensive side of the ball.

1224
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: That bears watching. But I think Stafford gives them a

1225
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: major leg up. David on the tweet sheet says, the

1226
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: QB touches the ball every play in between Stafford and Wentz.

1227
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Stafford is not only better, but we'll have a better

1228
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 1: season with that defense. They were always a QB away

1229
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: from being special. They did have the number one defense

1230
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: in football last year, so it's nothing to you know,

1231
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: ignore with the addition to Stafford, they can stay just

1232
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: in the top five, even the top ten. I mean

1233
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: that should be enough. Like they can old teams to

1234
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: seventeen twenty points. You gotta believe that Ram's offense is

1235
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: good enough to average twenty four twenty seven points a game. Yeah,

1236
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: and look at our offense last year. We averaged I

1237
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: think by the end of the season thirty points a game.

1238
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: We're up in the high twenties for much of the

1239
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: season before we broke into the thirties versus last year

1240
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: when we were way under that nineteen point six. Yeah,

1241
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 1: but our defense didn't rank in the top ten last year.

1242
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: We had stretches and if you look at after Week twelve,

1243
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: we ranked in the top ten and a lot of

1244
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: categories on defense, but overall, I think we were in

1245
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: the teens with where the Bills ranked on defense last year.

1246
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:58,839
Speaker 1: But that didn't kill him because you had the offense

1247
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: who was averaging thirty points a game. And when you

1248
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: look out the Rams roster and what they have on offense,

1249
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: and they have several wide receivers who could be weapons

1250
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: for this offense, and you have Sean McVay, who's your

1251
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: offensive minded guy, and you have Matt Stafford, you have

1252
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: a guy like Aaron Donald two on your defense. Jalen Ramsey,

1253
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're not going to be a top

1254
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: ten defense, I feel like they could hold their own

1255
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 1: enough to where you're not letting teams rack up forty

1256
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: on you a game to where then you're you're playing

1257
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: aired out to catch up. Yeah, and we know Donald

1258
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,799
Speaker 1: is a guy that can wreck a game all by himself.

1259
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 1: There were stretches of that Rams getting back here in

1260
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: Week three where he was just completely unblockable and was

1261
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: causing all kinds of problems. So yeah, I mean they

1262
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: have elite players that can make differences in games and

1263
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: get you a w David, we just did, so we'll

1264
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: go to Daniel, who says, oh, he chooses other Maddie.

1265
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: It's the Bills trying to get better up front. We

1266
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: need all the hell hope we can get. If we

1267
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: can get better on d we are on our way.

1268
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: Go Bill, So he means better upfront on defense? What

1269
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: do you think of that? I hope the additions that

1270
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: we have help us get better upfront. I think Eric

1271
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 1: Washington being in a second year as our defensive line

1272
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: coach is going to help. Adding Greg Rousseau there and

1273
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: Boogie Basham there. I don't know if it's going to

1274
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: be a complete one eighty for our defensive line where

1275
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:31,679
Speaker 1: they are going from decent to the best defensive line

1276
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't think that's going to be

1277
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: our defensive line next year. I'm just being honest. I

1278
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: think we could have a really good group of guys,

1279
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: and if the guys that we've added, and with the

1280
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 1: retooling of things, maybe and having a coach there for

1281
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 1: the second straight season. I think they can get better.

1282
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 1: Is that going to be the thing that pushes the

1283
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 1: Bills over the hump to get to that Super Bowl appearance?

1284
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 1: That's what we lacked against the Chiefs. Well, let's think

1285
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: about what did they finish fourteenth in total defense last year?

1286
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 1: I think I think that's where they finished up. If

1287
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 1: they can just get to tenth in total defense or

1288
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: be in the top half of the league in run

1289
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: defense or the top half of the league in red

1290
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: zone defense. With the way that this offense scores points,

1291
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 1: that could be a big payoff. I don't know. If

1292
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: you're winning more than thirteen games in the regular season,

1293
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: again that's a rarity, but you're probably an eleven twelve

1294
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 1: win football team, and then in the playoffs if your

1295
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:35,560
Speaker 1: defense is that stout. Because we saw it, Manny, we

1296
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: saw it happened in the playoffs last year. The Bill's

1297
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: offense it started to sputter after I mean they were

1298
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: rolling people at the end of the season. I don't

1299
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: need to tell you that. And then they get to

1300
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs and the yards are harder to come by,

1301
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:50,919
Speaker 1: the points are harder to come by because the defenses

1302
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: are better it's just natural. Well, if you're one of

1303
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: those teams that has one of those better defenses, you're

1304
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,759
Speaker 1: probably better off and maybe you're not losing a Kansas

1305
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: City by fourteen, maybe one score game and all you

1306
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: need is one play to win that game instead of

1307
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: two scoring drives with four minutes in the game. I mean,

1308
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: this is what we lacked this past season. We lacked

1309
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: that pass rush. We needed to get more pressure with

1310
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 1: four which is what Leslie Frasier has has really preached

1311
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: the last two seasons and will continue to preach for

1312
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 1: the third season in a row until he sees it

1313
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: out of this group. And if that's what can happen,

1314
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: and that's what can be generated by the players that

1315
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: we have and the additions that we added, we'll see

1316
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: if f Albata has a role on this defense. We'll

1317
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: see how quickly Greg Russo gets out there, and what

1318
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 1: type of role Boogie Basham has and and what ajp

1319
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: Andessa can do in his second year, and how Starr

1320
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 1: could help on the inside and free up at Oliver.

1321
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 1: There's all of these factors in play with this defensive

1322
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: line that are all potential when you talk about it,

1323
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 1: and the potential to take a step forward. And yeah,

1324
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean if you can go and go from fourteenth,

1325
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 1: which we were last year, allowing three hundred and fifty

1326
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: two yards per game, and then from weeks twelve and

1327
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 1: on they were ranked seventh allowing three hundred and seventeen

1328
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: yards a game. But that's the thing that was hard

1329
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 1: for this team last year. And if you can add

1330
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 1: that into your defense and you can check that off

1331
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: of the lists and things that you wanted to accomplish

1332
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 1: this off season in order to improve for twenty twenty one,

1333
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: to get you to an AFC Championship win, in order

1334
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: to get to the Super Bowl, I would say, yeah,

1335
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,560
Speaker 1: that's the off season move that could pay off the

1336
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 1: most for the Buffalo Bills in twenty twenty one. Yeah,

1337
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 1: because the defense has the most ground to make up.

1338
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: And now we might be a little off in automatically

1339
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: assuming that the offense is going to be thirty points

1340
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 1: per game as they were last year. Every year is different,

1341
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 1: you've tweaked it a little bit. Health is always a factor,

1342
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 1: as we know, so maybe we shouldn't assume that thirty

1343
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: points per game is going to be a given, but

1344
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:07,680
Speaker 1: I think we do anticipate this is gonna be a

1345
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: top ten offense again this season. I don't think there's

1346
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: any reason to anticipate anything different. So if the defense

1347
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:16,560
Speaker 1: can get into the upper half of the league and

1348
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: most of their categories, and maybe get into the top

1349
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: ten and some of the key categories, whether it's run

1350
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:25,639
Speaker 1: defense or points allowed or red zone defense, they could

1351
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,680
Speaker 1: be virtually unstoppable. They really could. We have to take

1352
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: a break here, more of your comments on the tweet sheet,

1353
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: and maybe a little what's for lunch when we return

1354
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live, presented by a Colt of

1355
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: Health Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

1356
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: Second half of the show underway here on a Wednesday,

1357
01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Matti glab with you and Maddie. I think

1358
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: it's time for a little lunch. Usual to me, you

1359
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 1: usually don't eat lunch till what like three to thirty

1360
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 1: or four luncher. I eat breakfast late when I'm doing

1361
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: the show, and then I like to eat a late

1362
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 1: lunch and then I'll just skip right over to the

1363
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: gym because I would be so hungry by three o'clock. Now,

1364
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 1: what do you do You have a lunch of anything

1365
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 1: for dinner then just like a little snack or something.

1366
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'll have a big dinner, big dinner. Oh yeah,

1367
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 1: So all right. I didn't know, like if you push

1368
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: every meal back, do you eat less because you know

1369
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 1: you're going to bed soon. That's the only thing I

1370
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 1: was wondering. No, I definitely don't. I'll have a protein

1371
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 1: shake after I work out, and then I'll have a

1372
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 1: big dinner. O. Good for you. Sloat it up out

1373
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:42,640
Speaker 1: towards the end of the day, and then I'm not

1374
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: that hungry in the morning. Yeah, because you come in

1375
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: here and you're eating break I'm like, man, I like

1376
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 1: ten o'clock, I had breakfast like two hours ago. I

1377
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,680
Speaker 1: would have never made it. My wife's doing that intermittent

1378
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 1: fast thing where she doesn't eat until like eleven or twelve.

1379
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: I'm pretty I can do it in the morning where

1380
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: you wait to eat, but I can't go a long

1381
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 1: time during the day without eating. That is not a plan.

1382
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 1: You're the type person in the morning. You're like, I'm

1383
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: a routine person. So like I get up in the morning,

1384
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: you know, you know, do the workout, do the shower,

1385
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: breakfast happening. I am not skipping breast. Yeah. I mean,

1386
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 1: if you're working out in the morning, you got to

1387
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,640
Speaker 1: have some food. Yeah, because you gotta get your metabolis going, right,

1388
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: That's like the rule. Yeah, So that's my excuse anyway

1389
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: for not participating intermittent fasting. In any event, It's time

1390
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: for what's for lunch? And we have to see what

1391
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 1: is on the NFL menu today, brought to you by

1392
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Independent Health. You deserve the red shirt treatment. First up

1393
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: on the menu, Mattie, Which Super Bowl team will have

1394
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 1: more wins in twenty twenty one? Chiefs or Bucks. I'm

1395
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: gonna say, before looking at their schedules, I'm gonna say

1396
01:16:55,800 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: the Bucks. I think them returning their entire starting roster

1397
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: is going to help them out big time. I see

1398
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:07,639
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs losing to the Bills at some point

1399
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 1: during the season, so you can mark that down on

1400
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: the schedule. Okay, what about you? I am I am

1401
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 1: going to say Bucks as well. I think one of

1402
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 1: the reasons why is you can make the argument that

1403
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: their division is still down, especially in comparison to the

1404
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: Chiefs AFC West Division, which I think you can argue

1405
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 1: is better. You know, justin Herbert another year has weapons

1406
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: should be able to get in some shootouts with them.

1407
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced on the Raiders. I don't know that

1408
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:47,520
Speaker 1: Denver's going to be great, but I think that Caroline

1409
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: is still not there yet. Atlanta's got a brand new

1410
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: head coach and just lost Julio, and the Saints don't

1411
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: have Drew Brees anymore. So I think the Bucks could

1412
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: run the table in their division this year. I think

1413
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: they could go six and zero. I think I think

1414
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 1: here's one thing we are overlooking about the Tampa Bay

1415
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 1: Buccaneers from last year. They were putting a lot of

1416
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: new pieces together with a quarterback that was learning his

1417
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: first new system in twenty years, and it took some

1418
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,679
Speaker 1: ramp up time. I mean, we can't forget this team

1419
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: had a three game losing streak in the middle of

1420
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 1: the season last year, and then when they fi when

1421
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 1: it finally clicked in like mid November, they were unstoppable.

1422
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:39,639
Speaker 1: So what the hell does that mean for next year?

1423
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like they're gonna be able

1424
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 1: to hit the ground running now. There is no learning curve.

1425
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:49,560
Speaker 1: Everybody's the same, everybody knows the systems, and it's just

1426
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. Let's run it back. I mean,

1427
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: that's problematic for everybody else. I hate to say it. Yep,

1428
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 1: watch out, they're going to be good again. And you're right,

1429
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: their division has more question marks than the Chiefs division.

1430
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 1: So you run it back, which they're saying they're doing.

1431
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: That's the that's their line with the same squad who

1432
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,680
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl this past year. And yeah, you're right,

1433
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, it's a second year in the system. You

1434
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: eliminate some of those losses that they had last year. Yeah,

1435
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: because it hadn't all fit together again. I mean now

1436
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: it's well, we'll see if they have any injuries. I

1437
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: mean that they were pretty healthy. They were pretty healthy

1438
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: this past year, and like we talked about yesterday, usually

1439
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: if you're healthy one year, it doesn't necessarily always follow

1440
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: you into the next year. Yeah, But as far as

1441
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: they're concerned, it's it's like keep on keeping on. That's

1442
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 1: really what it That's what it's about for them. So yeah,

1443
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 1: I think I think, I don't want to say it,

1444
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 1: but I think they end up with more wins, all right.

1445
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,719
Speaker 1: Also on the menu, what's for lunch? Coach on the hotter,

1446
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy or Matt Naggy Mandie. Oh it's Matt nage five.

1447
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:13,560
Speaker 1: I think so okay, just coming from me having my

1448
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:17,560
Speaker 1: ear to the ground in Chicago, because I have my

1449
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: family constantly talking to me about how annoyed they are

1450
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: about what the Bears do every single day, and Matt

1451
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: Nagee and Ryan Pace and that whole situation, I think

1452
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 1: he's on a pretty hot seat. You get Justin Fields,

1453
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: you you get Andy Dalton before you get Justin Fields.

1454
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: Can he do anything with with this new shiny toy?

1455
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: Does does he manage this situation? Well? Like we talked

1456
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: about in a couple a couple of segments ago, Um,

1457
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:50,759
Speaker 1: is Andy Dalton going to start the season? Is Justin

1458
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 1: Field's gonna start the season? If Andy Dalton does, then

1459
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: is Justin Field's going to come in? Does he come

1460
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: in at the right time? How? How do you manage

1461
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: that whole situation? I think that could be something. Yeah,

1462
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 1: it's a delicate balance. Is this year three or year

1463
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: four for him? I want to say it's your form? Yeah,

1464
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 1: I think it is. And that is usually you know

1465
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: he's got one playoff berth victim of the double doink

1466
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 1: sorry bring up old wounds, And that's it, that's really it.

1467
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: So it's put up or shut up time in Chicago.

1468
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: I agree. I think the only thing that has me

1469
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: at least thinking about Mike McCarthy is I think we

1470
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,639
Speaker 1: know that the Dallas head coaching job is a pressure

1471
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 1: cooker because all eyes are on the Cowboys all the

1472
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: time in the state of Texas, and that job involves

1473
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: an owner who, more often than not in his tenure

1474
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 1: as owner of the Cowboys has been a meddler. From

1475
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,639
Speaker 1: what we understand and what I have heard just from

1476
01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: people I've talked to you down there, that I know,

1477
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 1: Jerry has taken a step back. His son Steven has

1478
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 1: convinced him like, hey, let let them do their job.

1479
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: Give them the ability to do their job on the

1480
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: personnel side and on the coaching side, because he's been

1481
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 1: a very heavy handed owner. But their defense was atrocious, Yes,

1482
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:26,799
Speaker 1: I mean, they couldn't stop. So it's a super talented offense.

1483
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: Dak is back, and I would anticipate that they will

1484
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:32,640
Speaker 1: be just as productive as they've always been on that

1485
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 1: side of the ball. But if McCarthy cannot get that

1486
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: defense right and they can't get to the playoffs in

1487
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:42,760
Speaker 1: the division that they play, in which had nobody over

1488
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: five hundred last year, that it could get ugly really fast,

1489
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 1: and that seat could get super hot. So I know

1490
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: where you're coming from with Naggie. I think it is

1491
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: when or you're done there. I don't know if Mike

1492
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy gets a third season as head coach. If they

1493
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs this year, could be two when

1494
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: you're out, Yeah all over again. QB coach duo under

1495
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 1: the most pressure Maddie McVay Stafford, who has been a

1496
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: very popular topic today, or Jackson Harbaugh. I think McVay

1497
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: Stafford is it's not right now because that's the first

1498
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be the first year of those two

1499
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 1: this season, so there's pressure to see how this works out.

1500
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,760
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's pressure in a sense of

1501
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: if there's no success this year, then kick it to

1502
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: the wayside. I think there's more pressure with Lamar Jackson

1503
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 1: and John Harbaugh and what they have going on in Baltimore.

1504
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: I think there's been a narrative of Lamar Jackson and

1505
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 1: if he can win against some tough competition and the

1506
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 1: type of offense that Harbaugh has created around Jackson, and

1507
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,680
Speaker 1: if it's an offense that's built to last, or if

1508
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: it's just an offense that's built for when Lamar is

1509
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: having a good day. So I would say there's a

1510
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: little bit more pressure. Yeah, it doesn't make it easy

1511
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: when you've got a quarterback who wins the MVP and

1512
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 1: all you have to show for it in the last

1513
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: two years is one playoff win. You know, they win

1514
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: over the Titans last year, to come to Buffalo only

1515
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: to lose here. I think that's right. They only have

1516
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 1: one playoff win because they lost to the Chiefs, and yeah,

1517
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 1: I think that's right. Yeah, one playoff win in the

1518
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: last two postseasons, last three postseasons. Maybe they got to

1519
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,680
Speaker 1: do better, They got to advance further, especially after going

1520
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 1: fourteen and two in Jackson's MVP year and then they

1521
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: get nothing out of it and only one playoff win

1522
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 1: the last year. So yeah, they are they are under pressure,

1523
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:58,799
Speaker 1: not to the point where they would make a change.

1524
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think the the ownership would

1525
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: make a coaching change or a quarterback change because they're

1526
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: winning games, they're in the playoffs every year, but many

1527
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 1: they got to take it to the next step sooner

1528
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 1: rather than later. The press. I think the pressure on

1529
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 1: McVeigh and Stafford is different. It's a different kind of

1530
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 1: pressure because we made this giant move to put us

1531
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 1: over the top. So I think it's different from the

1532
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: standpoint of we did this to win the Super Bowl

1533
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 1: this offseason, it better happened. That's pressure maybe in a

1534
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 1: different way because the way they constructed and put together

1535
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: the final piece of the puzzle Stafford was via trade,

1536
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: and what Baltimore has done is they have built it

1537
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: from the ground up. If they can't diversify their offense though, Baltimore,

1538
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a major problem. But that's one of

1539
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:58,639
Speaker 1: the main reasons. They drafted Rashad Bateman, they signed Sammy Watkins.

1540
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: They are trying to give Lamar Jackson more options in

1541
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 1: the passing game. But man, if that offense cannot morph

1542
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: and diversify and be more passing oriented and it's still

1543
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 1: this runaround stuff, I don't know if they're gonna get

1544
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: any further. It's an offense that contradicts the whole trend

1545
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: of the league right now. On offense, right I mean,

1546
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: they don't throw it enough. They just don't. I don't know,

1547
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I don't know if Lamar

1548
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:34,559
Speaker 1: is good enough of a thrower in terms of ball

1549
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 1: location and throwing it outside the numbers and deep down

1550
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: the field where they can be productive. I really it's

1551
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: a big question for them, and it's a question they

1552
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: got to answer this year or they're never I don't

1553
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 1: think they're ever getting the super Bowl. They've got a

1554
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 1: good team, but can Lamar be the quarterback that he

1555
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 1: needs to be to Like you said, they need diversity

1556
01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:00,799
Speaker 1: on their offense and can he provide that this season?

1557
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 1: Big big question and it's going to create pressure. But

1558
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 1: there's pressure on just about everybody in this line of work.

1559
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,839
Speaker 1: Quite frankly. Yes, all right. That's what's for lunch, presented

1560
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: by Independent Health. You deserve the red shirt treatment break

1561
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 1: time for us. I tell you, I love finding these

1562
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,639
Speaker 1: weird and wacky stories. This one is going to leave

1563
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: you scratching your head because it doesn't make any sense

1564
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 1: to me whatsoever. We'll see if Maddie can make sense

1565
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 1: of it, because I know I can't. We'll get to

1566
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 1: that next. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid

1567
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:43,680
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One

1568
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Maddie lab with you, and you know,

1569
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: I like the weird and the wacky stories that cross

1570
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:54,680
Speaker 1: the wires and this one takes the cake though. Man.

1571
01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: First of all, the setting is Australia. We're interestingly enough,

1572
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:05,720
Speaker 1: it's got to be close to where are we here?

1573
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 1: We're like middle of winter down there, aren't we? Right?

1574
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: Like when it's summer here, it's winter there. So that

1575
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: first struck me as strange when I read this story.

1576
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: But here's the headline. Police rescue spooked nude sunbathers from

1577
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 1: an Australian forest. Okay, if that's not enough to get

1578
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:26,600
Speaker 1: you to read on, I don't know what is. So

1579
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:30,960
Speaker 1: I bet at hook line and Sinker. Police have fined

1580
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 1: two men who had to be rescued from an Australian

1581
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 1: forest after they were startled by a deer while nude

1582
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: sunbathing on a beach and then got lost. So here's

1583
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: my first question. Okay, you're on a beach. Okay, whether

1584
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: you got clothes on or not is immaterial. Here. You're

1585
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 1: on a beach, you're sunbathing, you're minding your own business,

1586
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: and this deer comes bounding into the beach area. Antler,

1587
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: is you know, pointed at you. Where is the best

1588
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 1: place to go to not have the deer follow you

1589
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 1: and endanger your life into the water and the water

1590
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:15,560
Speaker 1: thank you? Or do these deer? I mean, okay, we

1591
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 1: hear about all these crazy spiders in Australia. Oh yeah,

1592
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 1: the spiders are the deer crazy in Australia too. Apparently

1593
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 1: they are. I don't know what this deer was doing,

1594
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 1: but it freaked these two guys out. So what do

1595
01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 1: they do. They go running naked into the nearby forest

1596
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,759
Speaker 1: across the stre because deer don't folly into the forest,

1597
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:39,320
Speaker 1: it's just their natural habitat. So so here's the best part.

1598
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: These guys get lost in the woods. They're so freaked

1599
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 1: out by this deer following them, so they're running through

1600
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:50,799
Speaker 1: the forest in their birthday suits and they get lost.

1601
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:56,599
Speaker 1: So some for some reason, they were spooked by the deer,

1602
01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:58,599
Speaker 1: but not enough that one of the guys couldn't grab

1603
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 1: his backpack on the way off the beach. So this

1604
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 1: is a fantastic image, isn't it. Tell me like you

1605
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,920
Speaker 1: had friends that had that nightmare when they were in school, Like,

1606
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 1: oh man, I had the worst dream ever I was

1607
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 1: in school naked and all I had on was my backpack.

1608
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:16,200
Speaker 1: Well that's how they found this guy. So the police

1609
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:19,760
Speaker 1: had to put choppers in the air trying to find

1610
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,799
Speaker 1: these two guys lost in one of their national forests

1611
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:28,479
Speaker 1: down there. Now here's the best part. Australia right now,

1612
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 1: because of the delta variant of the COVID virus, is

1613
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 1: on lockdown in the Sydney area. You can't be outside

1614
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 1: like it's full lockdown. They're all confined to their places.

1615
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 1: So these guys are league. Not only are they naked

1616
01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:45,200
Speaker 1: and sunbathing, they are illegally outdoors on a lockdown in

1617
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: the Sydney area. So they catch them and they are

1618
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:51,559
Speaker 1: the police, Like I watched some of the press conference,

1619
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:55,720
Speaker 1: they are ticked, like really pissed off, and they're like

1620
01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:02,120
Speaker 1: the Chief of police call them idiots in the press conference.

1621
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, we apprehended these two idiots after they

1622
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 1: fled into the forest and got lost. They caused us

1623
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 1: to utilize an enormous amount of manpower that we are

1624
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:17,760
Speaker 1: trying to devote to policing the lockdown. So they got

1625
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:21,439
Speaker 1: fined like a thousand dollars each. I must have been

1626
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 1: scary deer. They won't have money to buy clothes anytime soon.

1627
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 1: But oh my gosh, like what are you doing? Here

1628
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:32,200
Speaker 1: comes a deer running headlong at you? Getting the water?

1629
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,799
Speaker 1: Getting the water? I mean, I know you got sharks

1630
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 1: in Australia, but getting the water man, the deer's not

1631
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 1: out swimming you. How far did you get into the forest.

1632
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Well that's the other thing, like how long how far

1633
01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:49,040
Speaker 1: were you running? Like was this deer pursuing you for

1634
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 1: like a half a mile? What are we talking about here?

1635
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:57,240
Speaker 1: Breaking mad deers? I'm just picturing the guy with his

1636
01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:02,200
Speaker 1: backpack on running around and his birthdays. It's got to

1637
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 1: be the most ridiculous thing. From Their rescue involved police aircraft,

1638
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 1: the State Emergency Service and ambulance officers. The men, aged

1639
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:14,839
Speaker 1: thirty and forty nine were fined a thousand Australian dollars

1640
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 1: for breaching the stay home pandemic order that restricted them

1641
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 1: to Sydney. H unbelievable. It's gonna be a fun story

1642
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:28,439
Speaker 1: to tell one day. They said. The temperature here's the

1643
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 1: best part. The temperature was thirty seven degrees fahrenheit when

1644
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:36,960
Speaker 1: they found them, so they had been missing for a while.

1645
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 1: It was sixty six apparently, and I'm doing fahrenheit scale,

1646
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 1: so we know what we're talking about. Sixty six degrees

1647
01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 1: when they were on the beach, and then by the

1648
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:45,400
Speaker 1: time they were found it was all the way down

1649
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 1: to thirty seven, so you're talking like hypothermia risk there.

1650
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:52,680
Speaker 1: And apparently they weren't alone. Forty four total people were

1651
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:56,600
Speaker 1: fined for breaching the public Health order that began a

1652
01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:59,240
Speaker 1: two week lockdown in the Sydney area due to this

1653
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 1: cluster of cases that they found in the Sydney area.

1654
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 1: So at Delta Varian is some serious business elsewhere in

1655
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 1: the world. Fortunately we haven't had that here. One other

1656

Speaker 1: reminder quickly, Our camp countdown continues on Buffalo bills dot com.

Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we

1671
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 1: come back, and Drew Brandt SI dot com columnist, former

1672
01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:04,560
Speaker 1: NFL Front office executive, he'll be joining us next to

1673
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:08,120
Speaker 1: talk about the latest on Aaron Rodgers and the new

1674
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:14,680
Speaker 1: thing in college sports name, image and likeness. It's a

1675
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:17,720
Speaker 1: revenue stream that college athletes will be able to take

1676
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:23,200
Speaker 1: advantage of. Effective tomorrow. What's it gonna look like? We'll

1677
01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 1: have Andrew brand tell us next here on One Bill's

1678
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:28,120
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio

1679
01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 1: at a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

1680
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

1681
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 1: player for you. State of a little Steve a blimp.

1682
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 1: We're not even in the straged beer of normalcy here.

Speaker 1: you and we're pleased to be joined now by Sports

1686
01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:13,719
Speaker 1: Illustrated columnist, hosted the Business of Sports podcast, the author

1687
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:16,320
Speaker 1: of the Sunday seven newsletter, and the executive director of

1688
01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:19,679
Speaker 1: the Morad Center at Villanova. It is one Andrew Brand

1689
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:21,559
Speaker 1: joining us. Andrew, thanks for giving us some time. How

1690
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: are you doing today? Do well? Guys? Good to be

1691
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:28,679
Speaker 1: in the summer when it is really the only month

1692
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:32,840
Speaker 1: of the year, the only month where the NFL has

1693
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:37,759
Speaker 1: an offseason, and you know me, the business of sports

1694
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:41,560
Speaker 1: seems to never slow down. So I've kind of transferred

1695
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:45,719
Speaker 1: my attention this past week at least to the college side,

1696
01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:49,680
Speaker 1: which then we'll talk about. But yeah, really, you know,

1697
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,160
Speaker 1: the one thing I've talked about on a couple of

1698
01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 1: shows this week is just having been an NFL executive

1699
01:35:56,439 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 1: for ten years. I was so air this time of

1700
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:07,759
Speaker 1: year of getting those phone calls from unrecognizable numbers because

1701
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: this is it, right, So this is the time young

1702
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: people are going to party because starting late July, it's over.

1703
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 1: Because I always liken it to a submarine. You know,

1704
01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:24,519
Speaker 1: we bring the boys into the submarine and we don't

1705
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 1: let them out till January, and I'm worried because they

1706
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 1: knew that and they knew this is sort of the

1707
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 1: real unfettered time of the year late June early July. Right,

1708
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:39,880
Speaker 1: and taking that a step further, Andrew, you have these

1709
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 1: unvaccinated protocols that are going to be taking effect when

1710
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:48,720
Speaker 1: players come back, where you know, they're not supposed to

1711
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:52,240
Speaker 1: be out in public and doing anything and putting themselves

1712
01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:54,760
Speaker 1: at risk if if they are in fact unvaccinated, they

1713
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 1: got to follow all the protocols of mask wearing in

1714
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 1: the building. You can only wonder about that element in

1715
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 1: addition to guys getting silly and doing the wrong thing,

1716
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, I mean the vaccination issue is the

1717
01:37:10,040 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: whole separate one that's going to linger another year. It

1718
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 1: seems beyond the quote unquote COVID year of twenty twenty.

1719
01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 1: It's going to linger for a lot of reasons I

1720
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:24,599
Speaker 1: don't really want to get into because I know everyone

1721
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 1: has their politics, but I think the issue is going

1722
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 1: to be team and I look at the College World

1723
01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: Series where these NC State players got the virus and

1724
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,120
Speaker 1: spread it a little bit and then they lost, you know,

1725
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:44,360
Speaker 1: they had to forfeit the College World Series. That's an

1726
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 1: extreme example, but it could happen, you know where a

1727
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,720
Speaker 1: couple of players decide they're not going to do it,

1728
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:55,040
Speaker 1: and it rifles through the team, even vaccinated players, and

1729
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 1: now you have competitive disadvantages where we thought we were

1730
01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:02,080
Speaker 1: done with that in twenty twenty. Yeah, there's a lot

1731
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 1: to go into this offseason. I mean last offseason, we

1732
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:07,280
Speaker 1: were all still on lockdown and nobody had to really

1733
01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 1: worry about any of that. Of course, the world opened

1734
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:12,519
Speaker 1: up a little bit more during the summer just because

1735
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:14,800
Speaker 1: of the tempts and you could be outdoors and it

1736
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,679
Speaker 1: could be safe. But this offseason, a lot of people

1737
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: are traveling, a lot of people are, you know, soaking

1738
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:23,080
Speaker 1: up the minutes, the months, the weeks that they get

1739
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:25,759
Speaker 1: that are free. But when you look at college football,

1740
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:29,799
Speaker 1: a lot is changing in the world of college football,

1741
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 1: in the world of college athletics. And we saw that

1742
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:37,799
Speaker 1: unanimous decision of the Supreme Court upholding the Lord Court's

1743
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: decision that NC double A restrictions on education related benefits

1744
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:47,560
Speaker 1: for college athletes violated the anti Trust law and tomorrow

1745
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,320
Speaker 1: the nil goes into place. And so what could we

1746
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 1: be seeing this season as it relates to college athletes

1747
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:59,880
Speaker 1: and how this could really just change the landscape of

1748
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:04,560
Speaker 1: how college athletics is run and operated, especially at the

1749
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:07,160
Speaker 1: higher level when you're looking at those big college football

1750
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: teams from the Power five Conference. Yeah, it's a new world,

1751
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, Maddie, This is this is really an inflection point.

1752
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 1: And I don't know what else to call it. This week,

1753
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 1: this day, tomorrow, it's an inflection point for college athletics

1754
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: as we knew it now. Having said that, we're not

1755
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 1: in pay for player, so let everyone be clear. We're

1756
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:32,680
Speaker 1: not in pay for play. No school is going to

1757
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 1: pay legally pay any player as of now. But other

1758
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 1: people can. Other people can. So first, the Supreme Court case,

1759
01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:46,679
Speaker 1: A nerd like me gets giddy because you never see,

1760
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe once in ten years you see a

1761
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:53,680
Speaker 1: Supreme Court case deal with sports, and they basically had

1762
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:56,640
Speaker 1: a narrow decision saying education related benefits, you can't do

1763
01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:59,240
Speaker 1: anything with that. The NCA you can't really limit that,

1764
01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:02,720
Speaker 1: so they didn't really define it. So does that mean

1765
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:06,120
Speaker 1: a school can give a player a computer worth a

1766
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:09,280
Speaker 1: thousand dollars? What about a computer worth twenty thousand dollars

1767
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:14,519
Speaker 1: with video monitoring and gaming? What about an internship worth

1768
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 1: two thousand or internship worth fifty thousand I mean, these

1769
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 1: are the kind of things that are going to come

1770
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:22,880
Speaker 1: up right away with that, and now the bigger picture

1771
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 1: with nil I mean, this kind of had its genesis

1772
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and eight with a player named

1773
01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:34,400
Speaker 1: Ed O'Bannon who got just below the Supreme Court. And

1774
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 1: here we are again. I think the thing to say

1775
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 1: about this is the NCA has had three years to

1776
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 1: work on this, and while they've been working on it,

1777
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 1: you've had state laws, You've had federal bills come up

1778
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,840
Speaker 1: for Congress, and the NCA really hasn't said let's go.

1779
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:53,000
Speaker 1: And they were supposed to say let's go in January

1780
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:55,519
Speaker 1: and they blended on COVID and they're waiting for this case.

1781
01:40:56,560 --> 01:41:00,240
Speaker 1: And now the case came down and they're still run

1782
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:03,600
Speaker 1: up their hands and now saying basically, states you handle it,

1783
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:07,120
Speaker 1: even the states that didn't pass laws, and really not

1784
01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 1: even the states. The schools. So I run a sports

1785
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:15,599
Speaker 1: center at Villanova. I worked with the athletic department. I've

1786
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:18,759
Speaker 1: had to work all week making videos for our athletes,

1787
01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:22,599
Speaker 1: being advising them on what to look for. We've got

1788
01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:26,719
Speaker 1: basketball players poised to make deals. I'm hearing about deals

1789
01:41:26,760 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 1: all over the country right now. They're going to happen tomorrow. Done. Now,

1790
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:34,280
Speaker 1: it could be anywhere from a player given out a

1791
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 1: cameo for fifty bucks two deals I'm hearing where you know,

1792
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:43,639
Speaker 1: they just they go over to the radio station speaking

1793
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:47,640
Speaker 1: to you guys. They do a weekly spot through the

1794
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 1: season and they get fifty grand. So it's happening. And

1795
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:57,680
Speaker 1: I just can't believe it because the NCAA worked three

1796
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:00,679
Speaker 1: years on this and they kind of have just thrown

1797
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,800
Speaker 1: up their hands like, Okay, I guess it's happening. And

1798
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:06,839
Speaker 1: there's some guidelines about you can't do alcohol or tobacco

1799
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 1: or spects or gaming, but that's pretty much it, you know.

1800
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,760
Speaker 1: And when I ask, you know, villan Ovis tell me

1801
01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:17,320
Speaker 1: just tell them what to do. And I'm like, well,

1802
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:22,240
Speaker 1: what do we do? We don't know, No, we don't know.

1803
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:25,320
Speaker 1: Just they can do it now as long as it's

1804
01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:29,680
Speaker 1: not a tobacco or alcohol or gamblet. Yeah, I mean,

1805
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:32,479
Speaker 1: it certainly aren't charted territory, there's no question about it.

1806
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm just very curious andrew as to what kind of

1807
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:41,439
Speaker 1: steps out in front as the most popular means by

1808
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 1: which players are connected to products or opportunities, because you

1809
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:52,639
Speaker 1: hear about you know, these independent companies pursuing specific athletes

1810
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 1: individually for whatever reason, branding and the like. And then

1811
01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:03,320
Speaker 1: you have these other illitator type organizations I know, like

1812
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:06,120
Speaker 1: icon source is one of them. They're like an icon,

1813
01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:11,120
Speaker 1: an online marketplace that matches brands with athletes. So do

1814
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 1: you have any sense at all because I know, again

1815
01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm probably asking you a question that even you can't

1816
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:19,679
Speaker 1: answer specifically because this is uncharted territory, as I said,

1817
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:22,519
Speaker 1: but is there any sense that there'll be some of

1818
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:27,640
Speaker 1: these conglomerates that facilitate these kinds of name, image and

1819
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 1: likeness agreements or do you think it will be a

1820
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 1: lot of individual companies going to individual athletes. Yeah, I

1821
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:40,360
Speaker 1: think the answer is obviously both. You mentioned icon Source.

1822
01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:44,280
Speaker 1: There are some digital marketplaces. There's a couple of companies

1823
01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 1: out there that have been planning for this for years.

1824
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:50,960
Speaker 1: One's called Influencer and one's called open Doors, and open

1825
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:55,400
Speaker 1: Doors has been doing exactly this for pro athletes for years.

1826
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:59,040
Speaker 1: And what this is is matched the brand with the player.

1827
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:01,879
Speaker 1: Player makes a twe makes a post, makes an Instagram,

1828
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:06,840
Speaker 1: makes a TikTok, and they just hit a button and

1829
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:09,479
Speaker 1: it's all done the back channel through a company like

1830
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:12,439
Speaker 1: open Doors, which is founded by a guy named Blake Lawrence,

1831
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:17,000
Speaker 1: who University Nebraska player, and these are all set up

1832
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 1: to go, and you know, we're one click and they've

1833
01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 1: been doing this for pro athletes, so now they just

1834
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:29,519
Speaker 1: transferred over to college athletes. I mean, is there going

1835
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 1: to be abuse. Absolutely, there's going to be abuse. I mean,

1836
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:35,719
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question there's gonna be abuse

1837
01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 1: where you know, the player going over to do autograph

1838
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:45,719
Speaker 1: signings somewhere started out of a thousand, but the quarterback

1839
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 1: comes over now and he's getting fifty thousand. And then

1840
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:53,479
Speaker 1: the school recruits the next top quarterback and they say, well,

1841
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 1: you know, you come here, you get one hundred thousand

1842
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: for going over to some you know, car dealer and

1843
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:02,240
Speaker 1: signing autographs. And they're supposed to be like a fair

1844
01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 1: market value. But again it's a wild lest. It'll be

1845
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:08,680
Speaker 1: interesting to see how it all plays out. I mean,

1846
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:11,720
Speaker 1: you said there's deals that are ready to go tomorrow,

1847
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:14,600
Speaker 1: especially you know, over the next couple of weeks, the

1848
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:17,200
Speaker 1: next couple of months, and then how this sways the

1849
01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: NCUBLEA for the long term. We know we're not at

1850
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:24,479
Speaker 1: pay for play yet, but being able to make money

1851
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:28,000
Speaker 1: off your likeness is definitely step in that direction. How

1852
01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:31,519
Speaker 1: do you see this affecting the relationship between the ncuble

1853
01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:33,680
Speaker 1: A and the NFL. And I'm talking in terms of

1854
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:36,920
Speaker 1: maybe players hanging around in the NC DOUBLEA for their

1855
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 1: junior and senior seasons because it's worth it, because they're

1856
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:44,600
Speaker 1: making that type of money and they don't feel a

1857
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:51,439
Speaker 1: need to hop out into the NFL after their third year. Yeah,

1858
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna sort of see what happens there.

1859
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a great test case. But again,

1860
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:01,320
Speaker 1: it's bigger than money. And I know everyone you know,

1861
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:03,800
Speaker 1: I always roll my eyes when someone says it's not

1862
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 1: about the money, but you know, you take his eye

1863
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:13,479
Speaker 1: on Williamson. He had options overseas, you know, million dollars,

1864
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:21,080
Speaker 1: internships somewhere, g league, and he chose Duke, And you

1865
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:26,000
Speaker 1: know there is there are natural, you know, attractions to

1866
01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:30,720
Speaker 1: these brands from players. We always talk about players these brands, Well,

1867
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: the colleges are brands too, and I always think that's

1868
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:37,960
Speaker 1: going to be in play. As much as we talk

1869
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:41,760
Speaker 1: about money and just going right to the pros, there

1870
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:45,040
Speaker 1: is that appeal, and I think that's even more someones

1871
01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 1: football because football is you don't have an alternative like

1872
01:46:50,040 --> 01:46:53,400
Speaker 1: a G league or an overtime league. So we're going

1873
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:55,320
Speaker 1: to see what happens. I think this is going to

1874
01:46:55,360 --> 01:47:00,719
Speaker 1: be something to watch weather players, you know, stay longer

1875
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:04,680
Speaker 1: or not talking with Andrew Brand And one more on

1876
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 1: this if I could, Andrew, because you mentioned that the

1877
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 1: NCAA has kind of washed their hands of the decision

1878
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:11,840
Speaker 1: and left it up to the states to kind of

1879
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 1: govern this or make the rules, for lack of a

1880
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 1: better term, or police it. Do you think this reduces

1881
01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:24,400
Speaker 1: the institution that is the NCAA to the point where

1882
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:27,240
Speaker 1: they're just going to be a vent organizers. I mean,

1883
01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:31,560
Speaker 1: they've famously come down hard on athletes for minor infractions

1884
01:47:31,600 --> 01:47:35,240
Speaker 1: over the years. Do you think this reduces them to

1885
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:38,760
Speaker 1: event organizers where they run March Madness or they run

1886
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 1: a bowl game and that's all they are going forward. Well,

1887
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,000
Speaker 1: I've said this for ten years and I've said on

1888
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 1: my podcasts and my newsletters. I just think the nca

1889
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 1: is going to have a different role and it's going

1890
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,759
Speaker 1: to have a very similar role for ninety five percent

1891
01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:02,840
Speaker 1: of what's out there now. And what I mean by

1892
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:07,759
Speaker 1: that is to take a number, There's twenty five major

1893
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:13,519
Speaker 1: college basketball programs, there's fifty major football programs, and then

1894
01:48:13,560 --> 01:48:16,719
Speaker 1: there's everyone else. And I'm not just talking about football

1895
01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:19,920
Speaker 1: and basketball. When people think of college sports, I hope

1896
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:24,040
Speaker 1: they think more than that. I'm at Villanova. We have

1897
01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: twenty four sports. Who has six hundred and fifty student athletes.

1898
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:31,639
Speaker 1: One team, which has won two of the last six

1899
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 1: nca championships in men's basketball, makes money one and the

1900
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:44,439
Speaker 1: nca is probably a good thing for those twenty three

1901
01:48:44,520 --> 01:48:49,960
Speaker 1: other sports. I don't see why it's a bad thing. Now,

1902
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:53,679
Speaker 1: take that throughout college and a lot of those schools

1903
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:57,200
Speaker 1: don't have that one out of twenty four sports that

1904
01:48:57,360 --> 01:49:00,639
Speaker 1: makes money. So this is where I sort of become

1905
01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:04,640
Speaker 1: a conservative. I'm like, do people realize what college sports is?

1906
01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:10,480
Speaker 1: College sports is not Penn State, Alabama football and Kentucky

1907
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 1: and Duke basketball. That's not college sports. College sports is

1908
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:19,920
Speaker 1: everything else. And then and I want to see if

1909
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:22,599
Speaker 1: they make nil money, and I want to see if

1910
01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 1: they get opportunities because for them, I just don't know

1911
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 1: if much is going to change with the Supreme Court

1912
01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 1: case with NIL and so I think my bottom line

1913
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:38,679
Speaker 1: is NC is going to be around for that ninety

1914
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:44,280
Speaker 1: percent for big time college football and basketball. No, they're

1915
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:46,680
Speaker 1: not going to be effective. There's going to be some

1916
01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 1: other governing body in my opinion, for each big time

1917
01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:55,360
Speaker 1: college football and for big time college bastival. We'll switch

1918
01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:58,760
Speaker 1: into the NFL side of things, and one of the

1919
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 1: big stories this off season has been what the heck

1920
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers going to do? Is he going to

1921
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:07,880
Speaker 1: be a part of the Packers? Is he not? We

1922
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:11,400
Speaker 1: know he did not attend mandatory mini camp, and we

1923
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:14,360
Speaker 1: know you have spent some time in the front office

1924
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:17,559
Speaker 1: with the Packers. So how do we read the tea

1925
01:50:17,680 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: leaves on this of Aaron Rodgers not being around for

1926
01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:28,639
Speaker 1: any of the offseason practices thus far? In Green Bay, Maddie,

1927
01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:29,920
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to get through an interview

1928
01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:35,560
Speaker 1: without talking about not going to happen Aaron bad. I

1929
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 1: think I've covered every interview in the country. We're there.

1930
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean, my bottom line is I think he'll be there,

1931
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:46,720
Speaker 1: and I have no insane information. Of course, I've kept

1932
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:48,320
Speaker 1: in touch with Aaron, but I haven't talked to him

1933
01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:52,160
Speaker 1: in months and months, and I know him. I know

1934
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:56,400
Speaker 1: the Packers, I know everyone involved. I have a sense

1935
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 1: of what this is all about. I think it's bigger

1936
01:50:58,520 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 1: than Jordan Love. It's about a sense of control of

1937
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 1: the timeline. I've written and talked about this often. Where

1938
01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:10,519
Speaker 1: my strong sense is that draft day twenty twenty, the

1939
01:51:10,760 --> 01:51:15,840
Speaker 1: plan was two more years of Aaron and moved to Love.

1940
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:21,560
Speaker 1: And Aaron becomes MVP and he's thinking about it, and

1941
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:24,000
Speaker 1: he's like, one more year? Do you want me to

1942
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:26,000
Speaker 1: take you to the super Bowl again? And then give

1943
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 1: the kids the job. I'm just a placeholder while I'm

1944
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:31,559
Speaker 1: the MVP. You know. I don't like that. Why don't

1945
01:51:31,560 --> 01:51:33,880
Speaker 1: we just do it now? Why would just make the

1946
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 1: transition now? And the Packers are like, we don't want

1947
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 1: to do it now. We want to be good this

1948
01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:42,240
Speaker 1: year and then do it next year and you make

1949
01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 1: us good and this is just that battle. I guess

1950
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:51,320
Speaker 1: what worries me the most. There's no communication. They doesn't

1951
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 1: seem to be any genuine trust. The coach, the GM,

1952
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:57,639
Speaker 1: the president have all been out there la to talk

1953
01:51:57,680 --> 01:52:01,240
Speaker 1: to Aaron and just not working. So that part's bad.

1954
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 1: But to me, life is all about options, and what

1955
01:52:05,520 --> 01:52:09,120
Speaker 1: are Aaron's option it's really there are no options for him.

1956
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,840
Speaker 1: He's not going to retire. Come on, he's not going

1957
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:18,600
Speaker 1: to retire. So I just think he expresses his dissatisfaction

1958
01:52:18,720 --> 01:52:22,000
Speaker 1: in all these different ways. I don't think he'll be

1959
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:24,360
Speaker 1: their first day of camp, but I think he'll be

1960
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:32,559
Speaker 1: there before the season. I do. Okay, NFL Combine Andrew

1961
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:36,439
Speaker 1: is now up forbid, apparently starting in twenty twenty three.

1962
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:41,479
Speaker 1: What do we feel this becomes looking a couple of

1963
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:44,519
Speaker 1: years down the road here about the business of sports.

1964
01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:47,200
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm going to stay in Indianapolis. I

1965
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 1: think in fifty years we're going to look back and say,

1966
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:52,840
Speaker 1: can you believe they did a Winter combine in Indianapolis

1967
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 1: instead of La or Vegas where I think it'll end up,

1968
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:04,680
Speaker 1: and or Florida. And you know, the bidding part is

1969
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:08,840
Speaker 1: just again the NFL relentless search for revenue. I just

1970
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:11,280
Speaker 1: thought they'd move it to LA with the new stadium

1971
01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:15,200
Speaker 1: or Vegas. But here we are. You know, they're putting

1972
01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:18,000
Speaker 1: it up for bid, and they'll probably go with the

1973
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:21,720
Speaker 1: highest bidder as long as it's a city that can

1974
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:26,400
Speaker 1: be attractive to people, all right, it'll be My money's

1975
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:29,320
Speaker 1: on LA. But Vegas is a strong contender. I agree,

1976
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:33,760
Speaker 1: they may rotate. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see where

1977
01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 1: it goes. They'll have a big sponsors splashed all over

1978
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:39,040
Speaker 1: it and everything. We know how that works. Um, But

1979
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:41,799
Speaker 1: thanks for the insight, Andrew, not only on the NFL stuff,

1980
01:53:41,800 --> 01:53:44,559
Speaker 1: but the college stuff as well. We know you're your

1981
01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:47,000
Speaker 1: neck deep in it, so thanks for lending the insight.

1982
01:53:47,080 --> 01:53:49,960
Speaker 1: We appreciate the time. Always a pleasure guy. All Right.

1983
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 1: That's Andrew Brandt, SI dot com columnist does that podcast

1984
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:57,519
Speaker 1: and also heads up the more At Center of Sports

1985
01:53:57,600 --> 01:54:01,360
Speaker 1: Law at Villanova University. Really interesting that he's got his

1986
01:54:01,439 --> 01:54:03,599
Speaker 1: people at his own university coming to him, say, all right,

1987
01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:05,599
Speaker 1: put the roadmap out for the players, so we don't

1988
01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:07,600
Speaker 1: have any problems. And he's like, are you kidding me?

1989
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:09,800
Speaker 1: We just got this stuff last week, and he's kinda

1990
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:14,479
Speaker 1: know it backwards and forwards. It is crazy. But this

1991
01:54:14,680 --> 01:54:17,280
Speaker 1: thing is it's really going to take on a life

1992
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 1: of its own and really kind of turn college athletics

1993
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:23,759
Speaker 1: on its head in terms of the opportunities for players.

1994
01:54:23,960 --> 01:54:27,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be I mean, in a way, I'm kind

1995
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:29,760
Speaker 1: of happy to see it because I do think there

1996
01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:33,360
Speaker 1: are some players at the upper echelons of you know,

1997
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:37,400
Speaker 1: major college sports that probably do get short changed out

1998
01:54:37,440 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 1: of opportunities to make genuine money. And there are a

1999
01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:42,160
Speaker 1: lot of guys out there, as you pointed out with

2000
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:45,400
Speaker 1: the question that you asked Andrew, that leave early because

2001
01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:50,720
Speaker 1: their family needs the money. Yeah. I mean it's also

2002
01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:55,240
Speaker 1: interesting coming from the aspect of me working for two

2003
01:54:56,400 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 1: colleges before coming in the NFL, working for Stanford at first,

2004
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:03,240
Speaker 1: which has thirty six varsity sports by the way, and

2005
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:06,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee which doesn't have as much but still has a lot,

2006
01:55:06,720 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 1: and to see how this is going to unfold, and yeah,

2007
01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:14,400
Speaker 1: to watch athletes get taken advantage of in that sense

2008
01:55:14,520 --> 01:55:16,680
Speaker 1: of not being able to make money off of their

2009
01:55:16,760 --> 01:55:19,640
Speaker 1: names when the NC double A can profit off of that,

2010
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:22,320
Speaker 1: or the college as a whole can profit off of that.

2011
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:26,600
Speaker 1: I just think this is a step into pay for

2012
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 1: play territory, and I agree in getting paid for what

2013
01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:37,280
Speaker 1: you do and making money off of your likeness. It's

2014
01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:42,320
Speaker 1: this is going to be the start of unchartered waters

2015
01:55:42,640 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 1: and it's gonna get super interesting when it comes to

2016
01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 1: the pay for play conversation and smaller Division one schools

2017
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,720
Speaker 1: who may not be able to afford that, who do

2018
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:57,840
Speaker 1: they drop into D two? Do you have to say

2019
01:55:57,920 --> 01:56:00,920
Speaker 1: goodbye to other sports teams because they are not the

2020
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:05,760
Speaker 1: money makers? What happens with that? And what happens with

2021
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:08,680
Speaker 1: some of these student athletes who aren't going to benefit

2022
01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:12,400
Speaker 1: off of any of this because they are your lower

2023
01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:16,000
Speaker 1: tier athletes and they may be a swimmer, not saying

2024
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:19,440
Speaker 1: that they're any lesser, but they are a part of

2025
01:56:19,600 --> 01:56:22,920
Speaker 1: a team that is not money making. What happens to

2026
01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:25,720
Speaker 1: them in the future. So this is all going to

2027
01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:32,280
Speaker 1: get interesting, It may get ugly. I'd the next five

2028
01:56:32,320 --> 01:56:36,320
Speaker 1: to ten years in college athletics, right, and it is

2029
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:39,040
Speaker 1: going to look very different. And I think there are

2030
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:44,480
Speaker 1: going to be there will be separations here because I

2031
01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:47,400
Speaker 1: think what this does is it only widens the gap

2032
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:49,960
Speaker 1: between the halves and the have not as far as

2033
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:52,640
Speaker 1: the universities and who's not in the Power five conferences,

2034
01:56:53,240 --> 01:56:58,160
Speaker 1: and as as Andrew pointed out, nine of what college

2035
01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:03,520
Speaker 1: athletics is is the truest sense of amateurism, you know,

2036
01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:07,880
Speaker 1: and then then you've got the other ten percent that's

2037
01:57:07,920 --> 01:57:11,880
Speaker 1: on television four nights a week, you know, the power

2038
01:57:12,080 --> 01:57:16,160
Speaker 1: football and the power basketball programs that make all the

2039
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:19,960
Speaker 1: money and support the other sports at their respective schools

2040
01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:23,240
Speaker 1: and conference for that matter, because conferences share money also.

2041
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:30,040
Speaker 1: But the other of what college athletics has been. I

2042
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:35,960
Speaker 1: really wonder what's going to support that going forward if

2043
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:39,360
Speaker 1: some of these athletes the money's going directly into their

2044
01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:43,760
Speaker 1: pockets and not to the schools. Because now there's a

2045
01:57:43,840 --> 01:57:48,040
Speaker 1: very good chance, Maddie, you're going to have a major sponsor,

2046
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 1: like maybe the local auto dealer is not going to

2047
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:57,800
Speaker 1: Clemson football and saying we want a billboard in your stadium.

2048
01:57:58,160 --> 01:58:00,120
Speaker 1: They're going to the number one wide receiver on your

2049
01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:02,720
Speaker 1: team and saying, hey, come shoot two commercials with us,

2050
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:06,280
Speaker 1: and we'll pay one hundred and fifty K. And it's

2051
01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:10,040
Speaker 1: probably cheaper then putting a stadium, putting a billboard in

2052
01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:14,240
Speaker 1: the stadium, or advertising in the stadium. And so how

2053
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:17,200
Speaker 1: much are the schools themselves going to be hurt because

2054
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:21,160
Speaker 1: business entities are going right to one or two players

2055
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:25,120
Speaker 1: like Trevor Lawrence at Clemson. If this was in place,

2056
01:58:26,160 --> 01:58:28,520
Speaker 1: how many people, how many advertising, how many companies are

2057
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:31,440
Speaker 1: going to him to have him advertised for them. I mean,

2058
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:35,040
Speaker 1: forget it, he was there for three years. I mean

2059
01:58:35,080 --> 01:58:36,320
Speaker 1: he would have made it, he would have made a

2060
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:39,040
Speaker 1: hand over fist money. And how much would have been

2061
01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:42,040
Speaker 1: taken away from Clemson as a football program because it

2062
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:44,520
Speaker 1: was going to him directly. That's the thing that I

2063
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:47,080
Speaker 1: wonder about. How are the books going to look different

2064
01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:49,680
Speaker 1: that way in terms of revenue generation. Yeah, I want

2065
01:58:49,760 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 1: these guys to make money. I mean, they're so deserving

2066
01:58:52,120 --> 01:58:54,320
Speaker 1: of it. But I don't want to see other people

2067
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 1: have to suffer because somebody else is gonna get to

2068
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:01,480
Speaker 1: the top. I would like to see this benefit everyone

2069
01:59:01,720 --> 01:59:05,000
Speaker 1: if it can, and benefit more sports than just your

2070
01:59:05,080 --> 01:59:08,760
Speaker 1: moneymakers football and basketball, depending on what sport or depending

2071
01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:11,800
Speaker 1: on what college you attend. Yeah, I just don't know

2072
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:14,920
Speaker 1: how you get to a utopian society with this kind

2073
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:17,240
Speaker 1: of a model. I just don't know how you get there.

2074
01:59:17,280 --> 01:59:19,520
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be even more difficult. You

2075
01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:23,400
Speaker 1: have haves and have knots now in the way it's

2076
01:59:23,560 --> 01:59:27,880
Speaker 1: been run for a hundred years. This system. While it

2077
01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 1: will benefit the elites, I think it's going to make

2078
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:35,840
Speaker 1: it even harder to support the have knots and to

2079
01:59:35,960 --> 01:59:39,680
Speaker 1: provide the opportunities in college athletics that they have for

2080
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:42,160
Speaker 1: so many years. But we'll have to wait and see

2081
01:59:42,200 --> 01:59:43,760
Speaker 1: how it all unfolds, because it's going to be a

2082
01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:46,240
Speaker 1: lot of twists and turns to this for sure, good

2083
01:59:46,280 --> 01:59:48,840
Speaker 1: conversation there with Andrew Brandt. Maddie and I have to

2084
01:59:48,920 --> 01:59:51,600
Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we come back, some

2085
01:59:51,720 --> 01:59:53,600
Speaker 1: of your final comments on the tweet sheet and a

2086
01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:56,960
Speaker 1: little time for some NFL true false. We'll get to

2087
01:59:57,040 --> 01:59:59,240
Speaker 1: that when we return here. On one Bill's Line, presented

2088
01:59:59,240 --> 02:00:14,720
Speaker 1: by a lot of health Buffalo Bill's Radio, which NFL

2089
02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:17,840
Speaker 1: offseason move will pay off the most in twenty twenty one.

2090
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Your choices are there at the tweet sheet. We've been

2091
02:00:19,840 --> 02:00:21,480
Speaker 1: hitting them all day. We're going to take some of

2092
02:00:21,560 --> 02:00:24,000
Speaker 1: your final comments on the tweet sheet, brought to you

2093
02:00:24,080 --> 02:00:27,360
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

2094
02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:32,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and we're up to Douglas Mannie, who

2095
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:36,960
Speaker 1: says I'm cheating. I'm picking for both conferences NFC. My

2096
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:39,680
Speaker 1: favorite move is the Bucks keeping everyone. That's kind of

2097
02:00:39,720 --> 02:00:43,560
Speaker 1: a conglomeration move quite frankly, so, yes, Douglas, you are

2098
02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:47,840
Speaker 1: cheating AFC. I think Clowney joining the Browns that D

2099
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:50,440
Speaker 1: line is scary. He will play well with that D line.

2100
02:00:50,520 --> 02:00:53,520
Speaker 1: I am not convinced. And the reason why is because

2101
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:58,720
Speaker 1: Clowney is an opportunist. If it's easy, he'll be productive.

2102
02:00:59,280 --> 02:01:00,920
Speaker 1: If he actually has to work for it, I'm not

2103
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:03,160
Speaker 1: sure that he will be. But he's a guy that

2104
02:01:03,240 --> 02:01:05,280
Speaker 1: you have to account for. So yes, it makes the

2105
02:01:05,320 --> 02:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Browns d line better. But ask Tennessee how it went

2106
02:01:08,320 --> 02:01:11,160
Speaker 1: with him and can he be healthy for a full

2107
02:01:11,240 --> 02:01:14,560
Speaker 1: season on the Browns defensive because he doesn't take care

2108
02:01:14,560 --> 02:01:19,040
Speaker 1: of himself and it leads injuries. So I think that's

2109
02:01:19,040 --> 02:01:21,440
Speaker 1: going to be a mixed bag of production. I mean,

2110
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:23,400
Speaker 1: it's great when you got Miles Garrett on the other side,

2111
02:01:23,480 --> 02:01:26,680
Speaker 1: so he will have some production, but how much, Yeah,

2112
02:01:27,440 --> 02:01:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it will be that much. I

2113
02:01:28,920 --> 02:01:33,600
Speaker 1: feel like with him, you know the story. The health

2114
02:01:33,680 --> 02:01:36,080
Speaker 1: issue is a big issue for him and has been,

2115
02:01:36,640 --> 02:01:40,520
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it will just randomly magically

2116
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:44,560
Speaker 1: go away because he decides to, yeah, take care of

2117
02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:46,520
Speaker 1: his body, like you said. And he doesn't strike me

2118
02:01:46,560 --> 02:01:50,160
Speaker 1: as a guy that has this burning desire to play football.

2119
02:01:50,240 --> 02:01:53,160
Speaker 1: I think he plays football because he's physically gifted enough

2120
02:01:53,200 --> 02:01:57,840
Speaker 1: to do so. He doesn't bleed the game. Shall we say,

2121
02:01:57,920 --> 02:01:59,680
Speaker 1: he's not itching to get out there on the field

2122
02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:03,920
Speaker 1: and play seventy snaps every week. Max says, Stafford to

2123
02:02:03,960 --> 02:02:07,000
Speaker 1: the Rams for sure. I love this guy in college.

2124
02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:09,840
Speaker 1: Always wondered what he could do with a good team

2125
02:02:09,920 --> 02:02:13,000
Speaker 1: and franchise. Glad he got the chance to play outside

2126
02:02:13,040 --> 02:02:16,640
Speaker 1: of Detroit before retirement. And I like the fact that

2127
02:02:16,760 --> 02:02:19,280
Speaker 1: I can root for the Rams since they aren't in

2128
02:02:19,720 --> 02:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the fcas or since they aren't in the a FC. Yeah,

2129
02:02:24,360 --> 02:02:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean Stafford was the easy pick. I know you

2130
02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:30,560
Speaker 1: and I picked him. I think it makes them the

2131
02:02:30,600 --> 02:02:34,720
Speaker 1: favorite in that division now because I think their defense

2132
02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:38,880
Speaker 1: is better than Seattle's and Arizona. Even with all they

2133
02:02:38,920 --> 02:02:40,800
Speaker 1: did in the offseason. For some reason, they just still

2134
02:02:40,840 --> 02:02:45,800
Speaker 1: don't scare me very much. Niners. They got to figure

2135
02:02:45,840 --> 02:02:49,240
Speaker 1: out quarterbacks. So it's the Rams, the Seahawks, and then

2136
02:02:49,400 --> 02:02:54,360
Speaker 1: everybody else after that. Stafford's a game changer, man, He

2137
02:02:54,560 --> 02:02:56,560
Speaker 1: is a game changer. I think he's I said at

2138
02:02:56,600 --> 02:02:57,880
Speaker 1: the beginning of the show, I think he's one of

2139
02:02:57,920 --> 02:03:01,880
Speaker 1: the most underappreciated quarter players in the entire league. So

2140
02:03:02,640 --> 02:03:06,800
Speaker 1: there's that bonus tweet. Sheet Andrew says, I hate to

2141
02:03:06,840 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 1: say it, but what the Patriots did by bringing in

2142
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:11,240
Speaker 1: those tight ends just shows what Josh McDaniels has up

2143
02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:13,840
Speaker 1: his sleeve for a tight end package. The true big

2144
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,240
Speaker 1: question for them his quarterback. Is Newton gonna be able

2145
02:03:16,240 --> 02:03:18,720
Speaker 1: to make plays with them? Because, let's face it, he

2146
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:21,680
Speaker 1: likes to run. Well. He runs because he can't throw anymore.

2147
02:03:22,040 --> 02:03:24,800
Speaker 1: That's why he runs so much. And he's not even

2148
02:03:24,840 --> 02:03:27,640
Speaker 1: as good a runner as he used to be. I know,

2149
02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:29,520
Speaker 1: I've said it on this show several times, Manny, I

2150
02:03:29,520 --> 02:03:31,600
Speaker 1: don't think Cam Newton is a starting caliber quarterback in

2151
02:03:31,640 --> 02:03:34,240
Speaker 1: this league anymore. But that's neither here nor there. The

2152
02:03:34,520 --> 02:03:37,600
Speaker 1: Patriots will have to figure that out. Wouldn't shock me

2153
02:03:37,640 --> 02:03:41,680
Speaker 1: if mac Jones starts right away. But the tight ends,

2154
02:03:41,720 --> 02:03:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I like John who Smith Hunter, Henry's a

2155
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:48,480
Speaker 1: nice player, but biggest payoff of offseason moves. I mean

2156
02:03:48,520 --> 02:03:51,720
Speaker 1: he kind of Andrew kind of almost talked himself out

2157
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:54,960
Speaker 1: of his argument that it's the tight end acquisitions for

2158
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:57,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots because then he said, they have a quarterback question.

2159
02:03:57,240 --> 02:03:59,880
Speaker 1: So how can the Patriots maximize the tight end acquisition

2160
02:04:00,160 --> 02:04:02,400
Speaker 1: if they haven't figured the quarterback out yet? Yeah, you

2161
02:04:02,480 --> 02:04:04,440
Speaker 1: might want to say the quarterback. If they can figure

2162
02:04:04,520 --> 02:04:07,720
Speaker 1: that out, that would be the biggest offseason move that's

2163
02:04:07,760 --> 02:04:09,120
Speaker 1: going to pay off the most for them, and then

2164
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Eric says the move that will have a huge impact

2165
02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:15,919
Speaker 1: is Gabe Jackson traded to Seattle. Wilson has many weapons

2166
02:04:16,280 --> 02:04:19,000
Speaker 1: now that he is an upgraded offensive line. He won't

2167
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:21,080
Speaker 1: be running as much and can stand in the pocket

2168
02:04:21,200 --> 02:04:24,000
Speaker 1: hit some of those amazing targets that puts him in

2169
02:04:24,080 --> 02:04:27,600
Speaker 1: the position to win the NFC West. I'm I'm proud

2170
02:04:27,680 --> 02:04:30,680
Speaker 1: of Eric that he went off the board and picked

2171
02:04:30,720 --> 02:04:34,160
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. Boom. I knew there had to be somebody.

2172
02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:38,520
Speaker 1: I give Eric credit for not, you know, making an

2173
02:04:38,560 --> 02:04:41,960
Speaker 1: easy choice quarterback, wide receiver, you know, Julio Jones, whatever

2174
02:04:42,040 --> 02:04:44,320
Speaker 1: you want to do. So good on you for picking

2175
02:04:44,400 --> 02:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson. I think he is an upgrade for an

2176
02:04:46,920 --> 02:04:50,800
Speaker 1: offensive line that definitely needed help, just as Russ and

2177
02:04:50,880 --> 02:04:52,720
Speaker 1: he'll tell you you got hit too much last year.

2178
02:04:54,280 --> 02:04:57,480
Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson, interestingly enough, is the player that kept John

2179
02:04:57,520 --> 02:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Feliciano on the bench in Oakland. Why he could not

2180
02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:03,640
Speaker 1: become a starting guard there because of Gabe Jackson and

2181
02:05:04,040 --> 02:05:06,160
Speaker 1: the other guy who is a gigantic player whose name

2182
02:05:06,240 --> 02:05:08,920
Speaker 1: escapes me. He's a Pacific Islander. I can't remember his

2183
02:05:09,040 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 1: name now, but it's not Callamette. It's one of those

2184
02:05:13,440 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 1: guys though they played guard inside in any event, couldn't

2185
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:18,280
Speaker 1: get Feliciano on the field because of it. And now

2186
02:05:18,360 --> 02:05:21,640
Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson goes up to Seattle where he's presumably going

2187
02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:24,720
Speaker 1: to be one of the starting guards up there. I

2188
02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:27,120
Speaker 1: don't know if it's enough to change their one lost

2189
02:05:27,160 --> 02:05:31,080
Speaker 1: column fortunes, but it'll definitely make protection better for Russell Wilson,

2190
02:05:31,120 --> 02:05:34,440
Speaker 1: which means he's probably making more plays. All right, that's

2191
02:05:34,480 --> 02:05:37,520
Speaker 1: it for the tweet sheet today. Time for little NFL

2192
02:05:37,600 --> 02:05:40,920
Speaker 1: True Falls, brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New York's

2193
02:05:41,440 --> 02:05:45,800
Speaker 1: artist in Cheese Number one Maddie. NFL True Falls. The

2194
02:05:46,040 --> 02:05:51,560
Speaker 1: AFC West is the best division of quarterbacks in the NFL.

2195
02:05:52,360 --> 02:05:56,200
Speaker 1: What say you on that? Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Derek Carr,

2196
02:05:56,840 --> 02:05:59,680
Speaker 1: and then it's Trew Locker, Teddy Bridgewater to take whoever

2197
02:05:59,720 --> 02:06:03,200
Speaker 1: your life better there? All right, Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert,

2198
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:05,960
Speaker 1: those are two good core strong, top two strong, top

2199
02:06:06,040 --> 02:06:11,120
Speaker 1: two NFC West. You've got Wilson, Murray Stafford, Jimmy g

2200
02:06:11,440 --> 02:06:16,200
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. I feel like that's collectively more talent than

2201
02:06:16,240 --> 02:06:19,520
Speaker 1: the West. I mean, Derek Carr, I still don't think

2202
02:06:19,560 --> 02:06:22,840
Speaker 1: it's enough credit, but yeah, you could. You could sway

2203
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:29,760
Speaker 1: me with those Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, Joe Burrow, big Ben. Yeah,

2204
02:06:30,040 --> 02:06:33,040
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not twenty twelve big Ben though. That's

2205
02:06:33,080 --> 02:06:41,080
Speaker 1: the only issue there collectively West. Yeah, I this is tough.

2206
02:06:42,160 --> 02:06:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where I'm at with this. Um, because

2207
02:06:45,520 --> 02:06:49,760
Speaker 1: there's good arguments for all three of those divisions. Um,

2208
02:06:50,800 --> 02:06:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, AFC North is sneaky good, but I think

2209
02:06:54,280 --> 02:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Bruethlisberger's washed up. So that's the only thing that gives

2210
02:06:57,560 --> 02:07:01,680
Speaker 1: me pause there. Um, And the Niners situation has to

2211
02:07:01,720 --> 02:07:04,280
Speaker 1: figure itself out because if Trey Lance comes in and

2212
02:07:04,360 --> 02:07:06,160
Speaker 1: lights the world on fire, well then it's the NFC

2213
02:07:06,280 --> 02:07:09,000
Speaker 1: West clearly. Like it's not even a question because you've

2214
02:07:09,040 --> 02:07:13,800
Speaker 1: got Russell Wilson, a perennial Pro Bowl quarterback, Stafford a

2215
02:07:13,840 --> 02:07:16,400
Speaker 1: former number one pick, Kyler Murray a former number one pick,

2216
02:07:16,480 --> 02:07:23,000
Speaker 1: and Lands a top five pick. Hello, I want to

2217
02:07:23,080 --> 02:07:26,200
Speaker 1: lean NFC West here, so I will say false, it

2218
02:07:26,360 --> 02:07:30,480
Speaker 1: is not the AFC West. Where are you? I'm saying

2219
02:07:30,520 --> 02:07:36,120
Speaker 1: false too? Come on, it loses its steam after Herbert.

2220
02:07:36,200 --> 02:07:39,000
Speaker 1: It really does. Yeah, and I got respect for Derek Carr, who,

2221
02:07:39,080 --> 02:07:41,440
Speaker 1: by the way, put together a pretty good season last year.

2222
02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:44,879
Speaker 1: The Raiders just couldn't stop anybody and play dumb football

2223
02:07:44,960 --> 02:07:48,240
Speaker 1: too much. That was their problem and poor coaching and

2224
02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:51,440
Speaker 1: clock management. Need we look at the Raiders Dolphins game

2225
02:07:51,480 --> 02:07:54,040
Speaker 1: from last year. My god, that was an abomination of

2226
02:07:54,200 --> 02:07:59,920
Speaker 1: clock management by Gruden. Terrible NFL true false. Number two,

2227
02:08:00,720 --> 02:08:06,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence will be the most productive rookie quarterback, most

2228
02:08:06,920 --> 02:08:11,640
Speaker 1: productive rookie quarterback ever or no, no, no, this draft

2229
02:08:11,680 --> 02:08:15,360
Speaker 1: class this year, Las, Yeah, I'm buying that. I mean

2230
02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:20,080
Speaker 1: we talked about his offense that he has and how

2231
02:08:20,200 --> 02:08:26,960
Speaker 1: he gets back together with some former teammates from Clemson. Yeah,

2232
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:31,360
Speaker 1: et n So I think he's the best quarterback of

2233
02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:35,760
Speaker 1: that class. This guy has been waiting to do this

2234
02:08:35,880 --> 02:08:38,640
Speaker 1: since he was about ten years old. Yeah, it's been

2235
02:08:38,760 --> 02:08:42,280
Speaker 1: He has been groomed for this and nothing else. It's

2236
02:08:42,320 --> 02:08:45,120
Speaker 1: not like, well, Trevor, you know, if you're not an

2237
02:08:45,240 --> 02:08:48,400
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback, we got you all set up in chemical engineering.

2238
02:08:48,520 --> 02:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Like there was no plan B here. It was football

2239
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:57,000
Speaker 1: all the way. Um, So you have that. And while

2240
02:08:57,040 --> 02:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I think if you look at all this situations, Maddie,

2241
02:09:00,840 --> 02:09:03,040
Speaker 1: the Trey Lance one in San Franz a little muddled

2242
02:09:03,240 --> 02:09:05,920
Speaker 1: because Garoppolo could start the season, so maybe he's not

2243
02:09:05,960 --> 02:09:10,760
Speaker 1: in the lineup until Halloween or maybe early October, justin

2244
02:09:10,880 --> 02:09:12,920
Speaker 1: fields and we're all hoping is on the field sooner

2245
02:09:13,040 --> 02:09:17,680
Speaker 1: rather than later. But does he get seventeen games? The

2246
02:09:17,800 --> 02:09:19,600
Speaker 1: only other guy that you can say is probably a

2247
02:09:19,640 --> 02:09:22,320
Speaker 1: lock for seventeen games besides Lawrence is Zach Wills. Yes,

2248
02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:27,600
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have the offense. I don't know if

2249
02:09:27,680 --> 02:09:29,800
Speaker 1: he's working with This is crazy to say, but I

2250
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:32,240
Speaker 1: don't know if he's working with as many weapons as

2251
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:40,080
Speaker 1: Lawrence is, DJ Chark, Laviska, Chane, Travis Etn. He's got

2252
02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:42,800
Speaker 1: weapons to work with there. And this guy is playing

2253
02:09:43,360 --> 02:09:47,720
Speaker 1: every single snap unless he's injured. So I'm gonna say

2254
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:50,120
Speaker 1: true here. I think I think he will be the

2255
02:09:50,200 --> 02:09:52,840
Speaker 1: most productive guy, and not just because he's the number

2256
02:09:52,880 --> 02:09:56,440
Speaker 1: one pick, because he's got the pedigree for this role.

2257
02:09:57,160 --> 02:10:00,400
Speaker 1: And with Jacksonville, he is going to play every single

2258
02:10:00,480 --> 02:10:03,200
Speaker 1: snap without question, and they're gonna let him throw the ball,

2259
02:10:04,080 --> 02:10:06,320
Speaker 1: Like how much are they gonna let Zach Wilson throw

2260
02:10:06,400 --> 02:10:08,520
Speaker 1: the ball? With the Jets. Is he gonna get the

2261
02:10:08,600 --> 02:10:11,640
Speaker 1: opportunities that Lawrence is gonna get with Jackson? Well, I'm

2262
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:14,640
Speaker 1: not I'm not certain of that. He's capable, but I'm

2263
02:10:14,680 --> 02:10:16,760
Speaker 1: just not certain they're gonna I think they're gonna have

2264
02:10:16,760 --> 02:10:19,520
Speaker 1: a pretty tight leash on Zach Wilson in New York.

2265
02:10:19,560 --> 02:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's just the feeling I get based

2266
02:10:22,080 --> 02:10:23,960
Speaker 1: on what I'm hearing down there. All Right, NFL true

2267
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:27,000
Speaker 1: falls number three very quickly, man, We've got about thirty seconds.

2268
02:10:27,280 --> 02:10:29,600
Speaker 1: Brown's running back tandem of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunts

2269
02:10:29,640 --> 02:10:33,760
Speaker 1: are the best in the NFL. Yes, yeah, I think

2270
02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:36,720
Speaker 1: the only one that comes close here is Josh Jacobs

2271
02:10:36,760 --> 02:10:39,160
Speaker 1: and Kenyan Drake. That's what I was thinking too, which

2272
02:10:39,200 --> 02:10:43,200
Speaker 1: is the new tandem in Las Vegas, which is pretty good.

2273
02:10:43,360 --> 02:10:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that is a great one to punch, and

2274
02:10:45,240 --> 02:10:47,040
Speaker 1: it was a smart one of the few smart moves

2275
02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:49,320
Speaker 1: by the Raiders because Josh Jacobs each of the last

2276
02:10:49,320 --> 02:10:51,560
Speaker 1: two years is just lost. He's run out of gas

2277
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,720
Speaker 1: and he's not the same guy after Thanksgiving as he

2278
02:10:54,800 --> 02:10:56,400
Speaker 1: is in the first half of the season. So getting

2279
02:10:56,480 --> 02:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, I think it's a bit of a coup

2280
02:10:58,960 --> 02:11:00,920
Speaker 1: by the Raiders, and it's thing that will bear watching.

2281
02:11:00,960 --> 02:11:04,480
Speaker 1: But I will say for now it's still Hunt and Chubbs,

2282
02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:07,600
Speaker 1: so I say true as well. That is NFL true false.

2283
02:11:07,880 --> 02:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New York's Artists and

2284
02:11:10,240 --> 02:11:12,720
Speaker 1: Cheese break time for us. But Maddie and I will

2285
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:15,480
Speaker 1: close it up next with what have we learned? We'll

2286
02:11:15,480 --> 02:11:33,720
Speaker 1: see in a second. What have we learned? Brought to

2287
02:11:33,760 --> 02:11:38,160
Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of

2288
02:11:38,280 --> 02:11:42,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and Maddie. Probably the biggest development is

2289
02:11:42,400 --> 02:11:47,080
Speaker 1: what is going to take place beginning tomorrow name, image

2290
02:11:47,120 --> 02:11:52,560
Speaker 1: and likeness rights for sale for college athletes. And I

2291
02:11:52,680 --> 02:11:56,880
Speaker 1: had read a sports business journal article about this, and

2292
02:11:57,880 --> 02:12:03,000
Speaker 1: the writer of the article he was commenting and interviewing

2293
02:12:03,640 --> 02:12:08,680
Speaker 1: businesses around local college campuses that are like ready to pounce,

2294
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:12,959
Speaker 1: like twelve or one am. They're gonna be texting athletes

2295
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:15,240
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, you want to do a deal

2296
02:12:15,320 --> 02:12:18,440
Speaker 1: for men's grooming products? Like it's going to happen. It's

2297
02:12:18,480 --> 02:12:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy. After we interviewed Andrew Brant, I looked

2298
02:12:22,440 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 1: at my Twitter feed and I saw a couple of

2299
02:12:25,960 --> 02:12:28,760
Speaker 1: these student athletes from the Tennessee football team when I

2300
02:12:28,840 --> 02:12:32,160
Speaker 1: was at the University of Tennessee, tweeted out, I would

2301
02:12:32,240 --> 02:12:34,360
Speaker 1: love to work with anyone who would like to work

2302
02:12:34,400 --> 02:12:37,040
Speaker 1: with me. So those tweets are already starting to go

2303
02:12:37,240 --> 02:12:40,480
Speaker 1: out from the student athletes saying hey, I am open

2304
02:12:40,640 --> 02:12:44,120
Speaker 1: for business, send me a DM and we can work together. Yeah.

2305
02:12:44,320 --> 02:12:47,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Brandt said it's going to be the wild West.

2306
02:12:47,680 --> 02:12:50,240
Speaker 1: He's not wrong. It's going to be the wild West.

2307
02:12:50,560 --> 02:12:54,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna have not only businesses pouncing on athletes saying, hey,

2308
02:12:54,920 --> 02:12:57,040
Speaker 1: would you do it for this much? Because if you're

2309
02:12:57,400 --> 02:12:59,960
Speaker 1: think about this, let's just say you're at Mississippi State

2310
02:13:00,640 --> 02:13:04,600
Speaker 1: and you're some local business in Starkville, Mississippi, and you

2311
02:13:04,720 --> 02:13:07,520
Speaker 1: want to get in early before the market gets set

2312
02:13:07,600 --> 02:13:10,880
Speaker 1: because nobody knows what the cost of doing business with

2313
02:13:10,960 --> 02:13:14,560
Speaker 1: a college athlete is there. So if you can convince

2314
02:13:14,640 --> 02:13:17,760
Speaker 1: some athlete at the university around the corner from your

2315
02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:20,560
Speaker 1: car dealership or whatever to do a deal with you

2316
02:13:20,800 --> 02:13:25,800
Speaker 1: for peanuts, jump in early. Convince the kid early and

2317
02:13:26,120 --> 02:13:29,280
Speaker 1: get him for a song before everybody else is making deals.

2318
02:13:29,320 --> 02:13:30,840
Speaker 1: And he's like, hey, how come I'm not getting one

2319
02:13:30,960 --> 02:13:33,920
Speaker 1: fifty K? How come, I'm only getting thirty K to do.

2320
02:13:34,320 --> 02:13:36,800
Speaker 1: What the heck happened? It's like, wow, sorry, he signed

2321
02:13:36,800 --> 02:13:40,400
Speaker 1: the contract. That's gonna happen too. There are gonna be

2322
02:13:40,440 --> 02:13:42,600
Speaker 1: some college athletes that get taken advantage of because the

2323
02:13:42,680 --> 02:13:46,480
Speaker 1: market isn't set yet, so there's gonna be They're gonna

2324
02:13:46,480 --> 02:13:50,560
Speaker 1: be preyed upon to some degree. But man, it's going

2325
02:13:50,600 --> 02:13:56,320
Speaker 1: to completely change everything. Be interesting. Tomorrow, NFL Senior Director
