00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,000

Speaker 2: for something huge, huge, It's gonna be busy, and I

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: would assume several of our players will be basically living

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: there throughout the weekend because we have a lot of

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: players on this team who love golf, who golf themselves

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: and who can't get enough of it. And when you

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: have the PGA Championship in Rochester just a short hour

35
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: and fifteen away when.

36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: We were when I was still playing, the Ryder Cup

Speaker 1: was at Rochester and it was it was awesome. I mean,

Speaker 1: it is awesome. Then they had the PGA since then

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: and Seawan mckeel. I was on property when Sean mckeel

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: hit the last shot from a buck whatever it was

41
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: to two inches and Jim nance thought he thought Jim

00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: it out.

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little appetizer to training camp too, heading

00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: down to Rochester for a couple of days or a

52
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 2: day before training camp begins in July.

53
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: And speaking of football things, we have.

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: Reports the schedule release is going to be this Thursday.

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: I was reading Peter King's Football Morning in America and

56
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: the top blurb I thought was a little interesting, just

57
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: gives you a clue into how last minute the schedule

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 2: release is in terms of finalizing everything.

59
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: The headline read something like, you know it's.

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: Set to be released on Thursday night at eight o'clock

61
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: for the NFL Network show that they will do, but

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: things are not finalized yet, which could delay the schedule

63
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: release date. Said, there's still a good chance that this

64
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: is going to happen on Thursday evening. But the schedule

65
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: makers were going to meet with Roger Goodell this afternoon

66
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: to figure out and finalize some of the big games.

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: And we were getting into this while we were eating

68
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: lunch like an hour ago. Just there's so many big

69
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: primetime games this season, and you want to make sure

70
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: you get them right.

71
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: Now's the schedule.

72
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: Think about it because and I know a lot of

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: people saying, tell us when we play, but think about

74
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: this now. This year there's like there always is. The

75
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: opening weekend is always huge, right, the defending Super Bowl

76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: champ plays at home against somebody prominent. Right, that's Thursday

77
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: Night Football. It opens up. Then you've got Sunday Night Football,

78
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: which is a huge matchup, and then Monday Night Football

79
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: and of course the four o'clock game nationwide. So and

80
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: that's opening weekend. So everything's gonna be nuts, right. But

81
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: then also during this season, I hadn't looked at this.

82
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve's on a Sunday night. They're gonna have a game.

83
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football is gonna be on Christmas Eve this year,

84
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a Monday triple header on Christmas

85
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: Day on Monday, three NFL games on Monday Christmas Day

86
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. That's an enormous and then Thanksgiving Day

87
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: three three games on Thanksgiving and remember Black Friday there's

88
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: a game, So they got that game, and then of

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: course that the Christmas things unbelievable. But the Black Friday

90
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: games brand new, the triple header on Christmas, and because

91
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: Christmas falls on a Monday this year, perfect, So all

92
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: those games from Thanksgiving Day, the three games on Thanksgiving,

93
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: the Black Friday game the next day, the opening weekend,

94
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: and Christmas Eve, Christmas Day triple header. Yeah, I mean,

95
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: you got to get that right.

96
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: You've got a lot of games across those few dates,

97
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: and you have a lot of teams who have some

98
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: opportunities to be on the big stage. You've got a

99
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: lot of storylines from free agency, from the draft, from

100
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: games from last season that are rematches, and you want

101
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: to figure out where does this all fit. What time

102
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: of the year is the best time of the year

103
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: for these two teams.

104
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: To play each other exactly?

105
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: Really, what kind of factors are happening? So the headline

106
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: of Peter King's article, at least the first section of

107
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: the schedule release part said the release of the schedule,

108
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: which the NFL had hoped to have for primetime show

109
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: Thursday night, may be delayed. It's still likely to be

110
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: done in time for release Thursday at eight o'clock Eastern time,

111
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: but I was told over the weekend it may not

112
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: be finished in time. The twenty twenty three MegaGames, like

113
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: we talked about opening Thursday, Sunday and Monday nights, Thanksgiving Day,

114
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 2: Black Friday, and the Sunday night game on Christmas Eve, Monday,

115
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: Triple Hutter on Christmas are not set in stone, which

116
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: you've got to you can you can argue those games

117
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: like yeah, forever probably.

118
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: And Bills fans gotta know, I think about it, the Bills.

119
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: And the Bills. You think they're gonna end up on

120
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: one of those they playing too.

121
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: They're playing the NFC East, all those big, the big

122
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: market teams New York, Philly, Washington, Dallas. They're playing all

123
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: those teams this year. That that's gonna happen. But thank

124
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: that they may be in Dallas again for Thanksgiving. You know, man,

125
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: those games are ripe forgetting the New York market on them.

126
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: And think about that. You and I were talking the

127
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs gonna play on Thursday night football open the season.

128
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: Now it could be Bills. I kind of doubt it,

129
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: but it could be. I'm thinking that the Bills are

130
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: going to be in New York playing Aaron Rodgers and

131
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: the Jets on like opening Monday Night, Football of the season.

132
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: Talking with Brownie about that on Thursday when I co

133
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: host it, and it's it's just you feel like the

134
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: writing is on the walls for that game to be

135
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: the first game of the Bills season, of the Jets season.

136
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Yes, there's no shine, there's no shine off of it.

137
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 5: Play the best team and the Buffalo Bills, because if

138
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 5: they if they play it like in Week five and

139
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 5: both teams kind of stumble to get started, or if

140
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 5: it doesn't go well for the Jets or something happened,

141
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 5: what you know, then you lose it is if you

142
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 5: you got to put it out there while they're fresh

143
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 5: and ready to go, not until you know the Jets

144
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 5: can't blow it right and the Bills can't know nobody

145
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 5: can get injured, right, So you got to get that

146
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 5: game on with Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen in New York.

147
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: The Jets defense, the healthy defense.

148
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: The Bills, and the Bills with the stays right way.

149
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: So you gotta think, man, that's a game that's got

150
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: to go off early, right in the.

151
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: Season, and they're going to have a second kick out.

152
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: Of two, right, and I'm thinking that, wh why.

153
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: Not have the first one in the beginning of the year.

154
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: Second one come playoff time come playoffs sceni what else?

155
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: It could be the Black Friday Game, you know what

156
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: I mean, because that's going to be a standalone into November. Yeah,

157
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: that could be a really that could be it. You know.

158
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: I just think because the Bills play the AFC West

159
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: with all of those juggernauts out there, the Chiefs, the

160
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Denver Broncos and the Chargers, but they

161
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: also play, like I said, all the NFC East teams,

162
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: and all those teams play all the rest of the

163
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: Bills division opponents, the Patriots, Dolphins, Jets, they all play

164
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: those teams too. It could be a Jet Giant thing, right,

165
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: m hmm. There's a lot of really mega matchups coming up,

166
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: and it's interesting to see how they're gonna shake them out.

167
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: Because you got a triple a triple header on Christmas Day.

168
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: You got six teams playing.

169
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: It just gives me shivers to think about all that.

170
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna be so fun.

171
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be fun to wait, we have

172
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: no idea what the schedule is right now. Right, hopefully

173
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 2: we find out we find out London before Thursday. That

174
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: has been out there that the International Games, some of

175
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: them should get released before schedule release, so hopefully we

176
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: can we get that out there this week before schedule

177
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 2: release is supposed to happen on Thursday.

178
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: And I mean, we get to figure out our lives,

179
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: so do these players. It's like waiting.

180
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: My mom and my grammar were in town this and

181
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,160

182
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,640

183
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 2: week and I was like, Oh, schedule release is supposed

184
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: to be on Thursday. And my groam was like, oh,

Speaker 2: all these games are, what time and what day, we

187
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: know the opponents. I was like, it's like figuring out

00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: Always do funny things. The Cowboys have had some great

216
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: ones in the past as well. So I'm looking forward

217
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: to just living on my computer that day when they

218
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,440

222
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: from some players, maybe some coaches. Those dates and times

223
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: have not been announced yet, but we usually hear from

224
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: the rookies during rookie mini camps, So it'll be fun

225
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,160

Speaker 2: of picks were in and they got to tour the facility,

230
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: but not all of our draft picks have been here

231
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: yet if they didn't come here on a visit for

232
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: the thirty visit. And then you've got all the udfas

233
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: who are going to sign here soon enough as well.

234
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000

237
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: they're going to be playing for, and they can begin

238
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: to form those bonds and those friendships with a bunch

239
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,200

Speaker 2: that a great time?

258
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,280

00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: breakfast and they have their workout, and then they might

261
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: have a couple of meetings. Then they have lunch here

262
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: and then they hit it out.

263
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're hitting it the best quarterback. It's the best

264
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: thing to Maddie because you ain't got no game, there's

265
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: no like, there's no like. This stress level is choking you,

266
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: you know there, and there's no intensity. You know, there's

267
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: no tenseness around the building. There's nobody you know out

268
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: here in a walking boot or limping around or getting

Speaker 1: coaches guards down there. They're relaxed. You can tell the

275
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: edges off those guys. It's just the best time of

276
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: the year because there isn't the pressure of winning a

277
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, and it's just so nice. You can

278

Speaker 3: or a hoodie or whatever. But he really, he really

313
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: uh hiked it up a couple of matches.

314
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: With his It's interesting for the KU. Yeah, he dolls

315
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: up for the other sports, for the Formula ones and

316
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: the NASCAR and the horse race.

317
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: Singing free, stress free, Josh.

318
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: Allen, stress free. Josh Allen's a little bit more flamboyant.

319
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: So he was at the Kentucky Derby, and then yesterday

320
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: was Micah Hyde's charity softball game for his foundation, Imagine

321
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: for Youth Foundation. I was there and it was so

322
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: much fun. The weather was great, I mean, minus the

323
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: rain delay that we had. But the rain delay came

324
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: I think at the perfect time because they had gotten

325
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: done with the home run derby and then they were

326
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: heading into the game, so they kind of took a

327
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: break in between. I was in the dugout and in

328
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: the player area, so we were just all talking with

329
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: each other during the break, so it didn't really seem

330
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: like the rain delay was long at all from what

331
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: I can remember. But you know, the home run derby

332
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: begins and everybody's like, where's Josh, where's Josh Josh supposed

333
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: to be here. Well, Josh was getting back from the

334
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: Kentucky Derby, so he showed up. Loop of players showed

335
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: up a little bit later, because you know, these guys

336
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: are such great teammates for Micah and they want to

337
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: they want us support his foundation and it's such a

338
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: fun event that so many.

339
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: People look forward to.

340
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: By the way, it was sold out, there were sixteen

341
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: thousand people who bought tickets Tasker to be a part

342
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: of this.

343
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of keeping up with it. I'm traveling

344
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: back yesterday and I'm getting on a Twitter feed from

345
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, the channels two, four and seven here in town.

346
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: They were all there right and I'm looking and they

347
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: pan and I go, wait a minute, wait a minute,

348
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: and I do it. I freeze it. It's every seats full.

349
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: I was like, man, it was how proud am I

350
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: to packed. Bill's Mafia showed up huge in the Baseball

351
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: Stadium yesterday for charity, and it's awesome. It was awesome

352
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: to see. It was really awesome to see everybody was there,

353
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: all the seats were taken, and again.

354
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: You talk about stress free living for these guys, these

355
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: guys have a freaking ball at this thing. They have

356
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: so much fun and it's offense versus defense once you

357
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: get into the game. But speaking of the home runner,

358
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: So Josh won it last year, so he walks in

359
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: as the home run Derby is happening and Spencer Brown

360
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: is on the leaderboard. So Spencer Brown gets to the

361
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: finals and it's like, in order to be the best,

362
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: you have to beat the best, And in walks Josh

363
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: Allen and the crowd goes wild and he gets his introduction,

364
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: and so Josh comes up to the plate. You know,

365
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: he basically had just walked into the stadium, doesn't need

366
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: a warm up or anything because he is Josh freaking Allen.

367
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: So he this is him.

368
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: He just like walked in, basically walked into the stadium.

369
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: It's awesome, right up to the plate, right up to.

370
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: The plate, and starts killing this ball home run after

371
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: home run after home run. Hit it out of the

372
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: park a few times too. So Josh and Spencer Brown

373
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: end up tying. So they get through I think they

374
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 2: had ten outs, seven or ten outs something like that.

375
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: So they tie after this time and it's like, okay,

376
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: what's next.

377
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: These two are tied and Spencer Brown was hitting home

378
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: run after home run after home run too, and these

379
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: guys make it look so dang easy. I played softball

380
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 2: my entire life and here they are not even warming up,

381
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: just blasting the ball into the street.

382
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: It was incredible.

383
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: And that this is when you look at these guys

384
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: and you were like, you could literally pick up any ball,

385
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: any bad, any piece of sporting equipment and just just

386
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: kill it because you are such an athletic freak that

387
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 2: you can do anything you set your mind to when

388
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 2: you are that height, that stature, have that strength, and

389
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 2: have played sports your entire life and are one of

390
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: the best athletes in the NFL. So these two tie,

391
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: and then we're like, okay, what's what do we do?

392
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: So you get three three swings each. Whatever happens to

393
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: those three swings, you know, we'll see. So Spencer goes first,

394
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: three swings, three home runs. Okay, Josh Allen's turn, three swings,

395
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: three home runs.

396
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: So then they're like, well, we haven't been here before.

397
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 2: We've we've been through the tie part, we've done the

398
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: tie breaker, but it was always decided by then.

399
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 3: So the next thing they try is one swing.

400
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: However far you hit it, the farthest wins. So Spencer

401
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 2: Brown steps up to bat hits a pop up to

402
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 2: second base and we are laughing because it's like, these

403
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 2: guys are just drilling home runs. You get, you get

404
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: in one more swing to win this thing, and you

405
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: hit a pop up to second base. So it's Josh

406
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: Allen's turn. Josh Allen hits a foul and it's like, okay,

407
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: you need to hit it and play, so he hits

408
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: it in plane. It's like a grounder and Spencer Brown wins.

409
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 3: It was the most underwhelming finish.

410
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: So then they're celebrating and Spencer Brown, being the teammate

411
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: that he is, is like, Josh, you can show you

412
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 2: could share the trophy with me.

413
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 3: We could share it together.

414
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 2: You know, that's a good offensive lineman. So it was

415
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: just so much fun, and it's you know, I'm around

416
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: these guys quite a bit, you know, get to see

417
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: him in and out of the facility, and just seeing

418
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: how much fun they have with something as simple as

419
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: a home run derby in a softball game. My mom

420
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: was there and she said, you know, it is more

421
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: fun watching them play softball than it is watching, like

422
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 2: a bit watching an MLB game. This is how the

423
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 2: game should be played because they have so much fun.

424
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: And then the rain delay happens, and then we're getting

425
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: whisperings that, oh, the offensive line is going to go

426
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: do slip and slide on the tarp. So we run

427
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 2: into the dugout and we're like, who is going to

428
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: slip and slide on the tarp right now? And Greg

429
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: Mantz on the offensive line is like, I'm gonna do it.

430
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it. So he takes his shirt off

431
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: and he gives the crowd what the crowd didn't know

432
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: that they needed in their life that day, which was

433
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 2: slipping and sliding all over the tarp. And he's he's

434
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: sliding in different ways and he's doing different poses as

435
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: he's sliding, and if you're watching on MSG right now,

436
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: you're about to see him take off on to the

437
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: tarp just get soaking wet. And the best part is

438
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: so Sean McDermott was in the dugout too during this time,

439
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 2: just like hanging out with the guys, and I was like, uh, oh,

440
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 2: is he gonna get in trouble? What's gonna go on here?

441
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: So Sean comes out of the dugout, pulls out his

442
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: phone and is like, Greg, do it again, do it again.

443
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: So Sean was having a blast watching these guys goof

444
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: around and it was so fun. And then the defense

445
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: ended up winning the game. So rain delay happens, and

446
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 2: then the game begins and they were able to get

447
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: five innings in which I think was you know, good

448
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 2: amount you wanted to play seven, but.

449
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: Five is also good.

450
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: It started to rain kind of during the game, but

451
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: the defense won for the third year in a row,

452
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 2: and so people like the players joke around just say

453
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: it's rigged that the defense wins every year because Mike

454
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 2: is on the defense and it's Mike's.

455
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 3: Charity softball game.

456
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: But it's fun watching these guys be athletes and do

457
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: different things. And I think it was Ike Bucker had

458
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,239
Speaker 2: a great grab in the outfield of fly ball that

459
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: he was able to kind of like catch behind his back.

460
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: And some of the guys had some really really good swings,

461
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: and Aja Epanessa has blasting some home runs and that

462
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: some of these guys, you can tell you've never picked

463
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 2: up a baseball bat in your life. You're swinging for

464
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 2: the fences and you're missing and missing and missing. And

465
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 2: some of the guys don't realize how strong they are

466
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: when they throw the ball.

467
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: I maybe it was it was Tim Settle. He picked up.

468
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: A grounder in the outfield and is trying to throw

469
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: somebody out from first base, which in a real game

470
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: that's hard to do to knock somebody out from first

471
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: that's running the first win.

472
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 3: They hit what you think would be a single.

473
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: So Tim Settle is trying to get I don't know

474
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 2: who out at first base and hauls the and it

475
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 2: goes over the first basement's head like basically into the stands.

476
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: He throws it so hard and so far so these

477
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: guys don't really know their own strength.

478
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: To latching it in. Yeah, that's that's the fun part

479
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: about it, I think for most people, because on the field,

480
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: all of these guys are buddies and they kind of

481
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: laugh and joke around. In an NFL game, when you

482
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: see them play their sport, you know they got game.

483
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: They really do have game faces, and it's it's you know,

484
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: it's intense and all of that, but you get an

485
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: idea to see into their personalities and how really buddy

486
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: buddy they are and how much they like each other.

487
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: You know, you get a chance you you and like

488
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: you said, when they have open locker room, you know,

489
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: we can all go in after a practice and we

490
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: can all talk to them and stuff and they'll be

491
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: in there playing ping pong or they got corn hole

492
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: in there and all this other stuff and man, oh man,

493
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: there is no holes board. They are like, they are

494
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: not putting up with you know, not winning, and they

495
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: take it in good nature. It's it's a lot really

496
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: fun atmosphere. You get a chance and and this Micah

497
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: Hyde's charity softball game, give you had an idea to see,

498
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, how much they do like each other. Yeah,

499
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: and the kind of the culture that they've built here.

500
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: And some of the kids were there and the wives

501
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: were there in the dugout too, which is it's great

502
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: to see. You know, this is when they can have

503
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: their families around and when you know they can actually

504
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,239
Speaker 2: be dads or be husbands or be boyfriends, when they

505
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: can be more present in relationships in their life that

506
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 2: are outside of the football building. And Micah was presented

507
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: with the check. Four hundred thousand dollars were raised.

508
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Buffalo comes through.

509
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: Incredible.

510
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: All those people there contributed, the Bisons and the facility.

511
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 3: It's a great place to hold it.

512
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: It really is. It's perfect. It's great location. I was

513
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: here when the ballpark opened way back in the day.

514
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: I was, you know, in the city where I was

515
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: living here, and now it seems like so long ago,

516
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: but you forget what a gift that park is to

517
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: the city and the people around and the sport and

518
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: all of that. It's and every once in a while

519
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: we're all reminded how cool it is. And that's and

520
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde getting people in there like that. It's awesome.

521
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so cool.

522
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: He's had it for several years now and he's been

523
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: on the team. He's going into year seven, I believe,

524
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: as a part of the Bills, And it's so cool

525
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: to see somebody who who gets brought to the Bills,

526
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: who's not from Buffalo, who doesn't have any ties here,

527
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: who gets brought to this team in Sean McDermott and

528
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean's first year, and he just sets up and

529
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: and you know, really puts in roots here in Buffalo.

530
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: You could see how the roots have grown in his family,

531
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 2: with his teammates, and just what he's been able to

532
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: do in this community and how just as much as

533
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 2: you know, Bill's mafia loves him. He loves them back

534
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: so hard and has been able to raise a lot

535
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: of money through his foundation and do some great things

536
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: in Buffalo and then back home in Ohio.

537
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: He's not alone in the fact. You know, we know

538
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: how much Josh has done for Oshi and all the

539
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: things that he has done. But to see all of

540
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: these players, and particularly the prominent ones who headline an

541
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: event like this, but all the players come and invest

542
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: back into Buffalo, the city that they're playing in, it's

543
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: pretty gratifying, I think, for for everybody involved and gives

544
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: Bill's fans a real sense of community. Gives you an

545
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: idea these guys are. You know, they don't just stop,

546
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: buy and forget it and then leave and never come back.

547
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,239
Speaker 1: You know, they've they've invested into the city while they

548
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: were here and they and they all come back post

549
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: career as well. So it's it's pretty gratifying to see

550
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: it continue.

551
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 2: They look forward to events like this just as much

552
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: as the fans do, and I think that says a

553
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 2: lot about the group that we have here.

554
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: At one Bill's Drive.

555
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: We've got a Twitter question, a Twitter topic for today.

556
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: Steve, do you want to tell us. What the question

557
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 3: is that over lunch as you were, we dreamt it

00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 3: up killing your burrito.

559
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,639

00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: opening weekend game? We're looking for an opponent, time and date.

561
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: What is your dream matchup for Buffalo Bill's opening weekend game?

562
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: Now the date by the date means it's going to

563
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: be that opening weekend, but it could be the Thursday

564
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: night game in Kansas City. It could be Sunday night game,

565
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: or the Sunday at four to twenty five, or a

Speaker 2: couple more blurbs from that Peter King article because there

579
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: were some other interesting factors that are making it a

580
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: little bit tough for to make this schedule this season.

581
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: Also two o'clock, we've got Judy Bautista, NFL Media senior

582
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: national reporter, joining us on the show. She's been covering

583
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: a lot of the Jets the last few weeks, with

584
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers finally being announced as a New York Jet

585
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: and doing his press conference and all of that, so

586
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: she'll share the latest on that, as well as covering

587
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: the draft and kind of the last few weeks of

588
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: the NFL schedule, OTAs.

589
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: And things like that.

590
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: So don't go anywhere, Pac show. We'll get into the

591
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: tweetsheet next possibly and we'll hear from Judy Bautista at

592
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 2: two o'clock. Coming up here on One Bills Live. We're

593
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: presented by Calida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

594
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: we're back here on One Bills Live Maddi Glab alongside

595
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker, and we've got a Twitter question today. You know,

596
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: on the heels of schedule Lease, which is supposed to

597
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: be set for Thursday night, we figured why not ask

598
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: you guys, what do you want to see for the

599
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: Bills opening weekend game.

600
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're getting a lot of date opponent.

601
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: What do you want here?

602
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: We're getting a lot of Monday night or Sunday night

603
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: football games against the Jets in New York, right, so

604
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: with Rogers and stuff, And that's kind of where you

605
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: and I started the conversation with. You know, then there's

606
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: all you know. So it makes a lot of sense.

607
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: It's a nationally interesting game because of Aaron Rodgers and

608
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: the move from Green Bay's already a Hall of famers one.

609
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: He's two time or four time MVP moving to the

610
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: Jets in New York. First game out of the blocks,

611
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: have him give him a division game, a game with

612
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: some meat on it against one of the top quarterbacks

613
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: of these this generation. So a lot of that, a

614
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: lot in that. But there's a lot of people you

615
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: get this a lot. In Buffalo, we had this converzation.

616
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: Everybody wants the at one o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Look,

617
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: because we want to do the same thing every week. Right,

618
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: you want to have a routine.

619
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: The players love a routine.

620
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 6: Right.

621
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: So, but when we did Maddie, when we weren't in

Speaker 1: the playoffs all those years, we only got one.

623
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,000

Speaker 3: I can't remember.

653
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: We did at least one, at least one because because

654
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: well I played thirteen years, so it cycles through the whole,

655
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, seven days a week every seven years, so

656
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: you know everybody did at least once. Yeah, I did

657
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: a few. Had a couple of Monday Night football games.

658
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: The one I remember, the only holiday game I really

659
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: remember was the Halloween game when we played Monday Night

660
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: football on Halloween and against the Jets and the Old Meadowlands,

661
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: and we whipped him up pretty good. And there was

662
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: there was a fire in the there was a fire

663
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: in the upper deck. So they had it was Painter's

664
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: Cap night. They gave everybody painters cap huh. So we

665
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: were lumping them up pretty good. Everybody gathered all everybody

666
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: threw the painters caps on the ground, right, so they

667
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: stacked him up in the upper deck. They lit him

668
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: on fire. Then they had a.

669
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: Fire el a bunch of hats.

670
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: They had a five foot blow up pumpkin like a

671
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: beach ball. They were bouncing that around the stadium. It

672
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: came down the field and the New York cop walked

673
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: it in the tunnel. The place went crazy. He brought

674
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: it back out and threw it back in the stands. No,

675
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be that guy, right. And then

676
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: there was also in that game, we punted their guy

677
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: caught it and he and he planted his foot to

678
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: come out and and he stepped. Half his foot was

679
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: on the line, half the foot was in the field.

680
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 1: So he ran and we we tackled him. But then

681
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: there was a replay. And back then they didn't have it.

682
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: The technology was stone on stone age, you know, it

683
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: was video replay, and it took him long time. And

684
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm sitting we're sitting around, so US Bill's players are

685
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: standing around in the midst of us were jet guys.

686
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: We're all mixed up. We're kind of all sitting there,

687
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: crowded around, looking at that spot in the field. And

688
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: while we're looking, there's like four guys in the front row,

689
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: you know, and then there's four guys next to them

690
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: on the front so there's eight guys. Well, they didn't know.

691
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: The four guys you know, and the two that were

692
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: sitting closest to each other from each group started the

693
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: the heckle to fight, and then those two started to

694
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: fight the other two and then all of a sudden,

695
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: there's a melee melee. So this is this is before

696
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: the fire in the stands and and after the pumpkin,

697
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: this fight breaks out in the stands. And so it's

698
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: the only time what I've seen.

699
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 3: Where the guys on the field.

700
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: The guys on the field were watching the stands instead

701
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: of the stands. Watch the guys on the field, see

702
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: huge melee. Security is nowhere to be seen. None of

703
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: those guys show up. They fought so long, they got

704
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: tired and they all sat down. They all just turned around,

705
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: sat back down because they were beat They were too tired,

706
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: and nobody broke the fight up. It just kind of

707
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: ended because they got tired.

708
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 3: It was that's hilarious.

709
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what happens when you have a game on

710
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: a holiday Monday night game that's holiday games.

711
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 3: Crazy things.

712
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 2: The game where everybody's throwing the snowballs on the field.

713
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: It was fun to watch for a little bit, and

714
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: then I was like, all right, all right, stop it?

715
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So before you go through the sweets, sheeet, just

718
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: Bucks at home aside from our AFC East foes, and

719
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 2: then away we've got Eagles, Bengals, Commanders, Chiefs, Chargers.

720
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 3: So those are your home and away game games.

721
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 2: Remember, one of those home games is going to be

722
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: a London game for the Bills this year.

723
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: Opponent and date tbd.

724
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: Hopefully we find that out in a couple of days.

725
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 2: And let's get two our tweet sheets.

726
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: Shall we?

727
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 2: From Nick Minerd, he says opponent doesn't matter as long

728
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 2: as it's a one o'clock Sunday game in Orchard Park.

729
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: If I had to pick New York Jets or Miami

730
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 2: would work well as the opponent.

731
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: You want a Division game at home?

732
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 3: They're really you know this.

733
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: The Division games this year are going to be interesting.

734
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 2: They were interesting last year. I don't know if we

735
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: thought they were gonna be as interesting as they were,

736
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: just because it was like, Okay, yes, the Dolphins are better.

737
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 2: They've got Tyreek Hill, They've got some offensive players that

738
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: you know, could really help Tua finally become the quarterback

739
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 2: that some people think he can become. And the Dolphins

740
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: were they gave us a run for our money every

741
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: time we played them.

742
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the game down in Miami, I don't know that

743
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: it would have turned out the way it did if

744
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: it had been just overcast day. Yeah, let alone, you

745
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: know the game players.

746
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: That's one thing that I'm wondering.

747
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: Are we going to play at Miami week three or

748
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: four of the season and then they're going to have

749
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: to deal with the same thing. And then is Miami

750
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: going to play in Buffalo week fourteen or fifteen, and

751
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: then they're going to deal with the cold? Is that

752
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 2: just a storyline that the NFL loves and that probably

753
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: our players hate especially.

754
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: And I think people remember this, Remember when the Bills

755
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: used to open up and they opened up a couple

756
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: of times against the Patriots, And so all three of

757
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: those divisions and the league does this under when Goodell

758
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell came in as commissioner, they started playing division

759
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: games early and then late so that you know you'd

760
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: get them. You'd have a race established in the first

761
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: opening month of the season of where where these teams

762
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: were in the division against their own teams, and then

763
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: late in the season that had a chance to write

764
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: the ship and decide the division would be waited until

765
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: later in the season. So that may still be the case.

766
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: You may get too out of your first four games

767
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: as division games. You know, last year it was let's

768
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: see regular season last year for the Bills twenty twenty

769
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: two regular season, Yeah, it was Dolph. Yeah, they didn't

770
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: have any division games except the Dolphins in their first

771
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: five games.

772
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: And then I remember in December they had like three

773
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: it was between November and December. I think they had

774
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: like three AFC East games in like four or five weeks.

775
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: It went maybe it was the Patriots twice in like.

776
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: Week thirteen, the Patriots, Week fourteen, the Jets Week fifteen,

777
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins.

778
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, three straight, yeah.

779
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: And then it ended Week eighteen with the Patriots at

780
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: the end. So yeah, I'm thinking we're gonna we had

781
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: almost every division game was after Week nine of the

782
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: regular season last year. All you know, five of the

783
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: six games were after Week nine or later. So I

784
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: don't know that that'll happen again this year, but it's

785
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be interesting to see because it always

786
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: is because we always like to poke holes in it, right,

787
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: It's like, well, they they stabbed us in the back.

788
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: Maybe we got a short week and the long way

789
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: and they get rest, so that all there's gonna be

790
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: that going on.

791
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: And then you wonder like, as we're already talking about

792
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 2: this and getting into it, I'm I sometimes like have

793
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: a conversation with myself. I'm like, am I crazy for

794
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: carrying this much about where every single game is placed

795
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 2: and what day and what time we're playing at and

796
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: how the AFC East games are all lined up? And

797
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 2: when we're playing it in London? And you know, you

798
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 2: talk to somebody that's just a casual fan and they

799
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 2: could care less. Man, I'm like, give me this for breakfast,

800
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: lunch and dinner. I will talk about this for five days.

801
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: Because everybody, you know, everybody wants to know, because everybody

802
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: has these games they want to go to. Just a

803
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: couple of people, you know a lot of people go

804
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: to one away game and they pick a destination like

805
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: it could be London for a lot of people. And

806
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: then last week when somebody was looking at the event

807
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: schedule for Tottenham Hotspur, it had Buffalo listed for October eighth,

808
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, I'm brilliant. So you go on, you

809
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: get your you can get your flights cheaper, right, you

810
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: can get that, get it that way ahead of it

811
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: and all that, and all my all my cronies are like, hey,

812
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: you got it. You know, they're they're sitting there waiting,

813
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: and I gotta you know, I'm gonna be on it

814
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: because as soon as the moment it comes out there

815
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,479
Speaker 1: on the computer, like making flights, you know, and getting

816
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: the weekend set up, but they jack up the prices,

817
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: you know. So uh, it's fun because there are certain

818
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: years that lend itself to it.

819
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: Well, we've got Tom hanging on the line, so let's

820
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,479
Speaker 3: let's go to a caller here.

821
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 2: Let's see if I can work this little machine. Hey Tom,

822
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 2: what's up?

823
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 4: Oh I kids? How you doing today?

824
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 3: We're doing good? How are you?

825
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: We're hanging I know the weather is nice, I.

826
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 3: Know we're loving it.

827
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: What do you think of the opening weekend game for

828
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: the Bills? Do you have a team that you think

829
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: they should play in a date? Do you feel like Thursday, Sunday, Monday?

830
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 4: I do, And it's the obvious. It's the Jets because

831
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 4: we always seem to open against the Jets. I hope

832
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 4: it's a home game and one o'clock, so I don't

833
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 4: want the Sunday night game because that's Sunday night. So

834
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 4: let's go Christmas morning for that game. But anyway, I

835
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: just like you guys were doing, I'm looking at Tottenheim

836
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 4: Stadium and I'm thinking it's going to be the Jets

837
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 4: because the Raiders are always playing in Mexico and therefore

838
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 4: they play their international games the Jaguars. The bill game

839
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 4: is a home game, so it's not going to be

840
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 4: against the Jaguars. It's got to be against one of

841
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 4: the other teams that are we're not facing. We always

842
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 4: play Dallas on Thanksgiving, so therefore, move that game to

843
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 4: Tottenheim Stadium and what them? Wouldn'tess said?

844
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 3: That would be interesting. That's fine, Thanks for the call.

845
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jets to open and what do you say, Dallas

846
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: playing Dallas in London.

847
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it.

848
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 3: Christmas morning, Christmas Day game.

849
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about that in London on December Well,

850
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: it'd be well, let's see, it would be yeah, Christmas morning. Well,

851
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, it's one of

852
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: the home game. The Bills are still gonna have ten

853
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: home games this year in the stadium. It'll be two

854
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: preseason games, eight regular season games, and then one of

855
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: their home game, the ninth one for the seventeen game

856
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 1: schedule that is back in the AFC this year. That's

857
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna be in London, so they'll have eight regular season

858
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: games here in the stadium. And I get it. There's

859
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: a large percentage of the people who would just want

860
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: just give me the Sunday one o'clock because they love

861
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: the routine. They love having everything, you know, settled. They

862
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: can plan on it, make it happen. And for years,

863
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: like you and I said, they didn't get any primetime games,

864
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: so they were they were going to be Sunday at

865
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: one And and I know this too, the Bills always

866
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of requested that as well. They said, listen, just

867
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: give us some Sunday at one o'clock games. If we're

868
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 1: not gonna get on Monday night or Thursday night, give

869
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: us the Sunday at one games. Sunday one o'clock games, yeah,

870
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: even on the road. And the league was happy to

871
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: do it if they.

872
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 2: Could, all right, give us a call aight three five

873
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 2: point fifty if you have a preference for Buffalo's opening

874
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: weekend game, opponent, date and times. What we're looking for

875
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: when we come back from break. I'm gonna tell you

876
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: about why maybe the Bills could play the Jaguarars in London.

877
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: I know they've got a game in London, but we

878
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 2: had a guest on a couple months ago that said maybe.

879
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 3: The Jaguars could do two games in London.

880
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, guys next here on One Bill's Live

881
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 2: or present by Callida Help. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

882
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back into One Bill's Live. Matti glab

883
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 2: and Steve Tasker here on Monday afternoon, about an hour

884
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 2: left in the show. And I told you guys, you know,

885
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: somebody said our last caller, Tom said, you know, Jacksonville Jaguars.

886
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if we would play them in London

887
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 2: because they're already playing a game in London and it

888
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 2: wouldn't make sense for them to play two in London.

889
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: But let me tell you something we had on a

890
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 2: member of the Sky Sports team based in London on

891
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 2: with us, I want to say a couple months ago,

892
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,959
Speaker 2: and we were talking through scenarios of the Bills playing

893
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 2: in London and who they could be playing. And you know,

894
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 2: we said, you're the expert covering these things in London

895
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 2: and you've seen teams go over. Is there anybody on

896
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 2: the Bills schedule that would make sense that you think

897
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 2: they could play in London?

898
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 3: He gave us a few teams.

899
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: One of those was the Jacksonville Jaguars. Why, well, before COVID,

900
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 2: he was saying the Jacksonville Jaguars were set to play

901
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: two games in London, back to back games in London,

902
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 2: they would play a game in Tottenham and that the

903
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 2: second game would be at the other location that football

904
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 2: games are going on, Wembley this season, So they would

905
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 2: basically be in London for two weeks. And it didn't

906
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 2: happen because of COVID. So flash forward, fast forward here

907
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty three season, and the Jags are already

908
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 2: playing a game at Wembley, The Bills are playing game

909
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: at Tottenham, The Jags are on the Bills schedule as

910
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 2: a home game. Could it happen? Could it be two

911
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: weeks that the Jags are in London and one of

912
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 2: those games is going to be against the Bills.

913
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 3: I don't know where this scenario.

914
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I bet you that other teams would

915
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: say it's all fine and dame. But I don't want

916
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: to be the second team that plays them.

917
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 2: So that because then you'd be playing a team who's

918
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 2: had two weeks in London, is acclimated practice and the food.

919
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: And if the if the other team, like say it's

920
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: the Bills, and the Bills have them in the second

921
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: matchup and it's it's Sean McDermott, you would probably Normally

922
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: normally they say go over early and get acclimated if

923
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: you've got time. But in football, and particularly in the

924
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: in the regular season, you really can't do that. Maybe

925
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: you can if there's a bye week after, but if

926
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: if you do that, you're messed up for days after

927
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: the trip, right. You gotta you get acclimated to the

928
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: time change, which is five hours from the East coast,

929
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: and you're stuck in that time frame, so it's hard

930
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: to adjust back once you get back, and you got

931
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: to overcome that. You got to overcome it when you

932
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: get there and prepare to play a game in completely

933
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: unfamiliar surroundings and then play well, then come back and

934
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: get reacclimated while you're trying to prepare for another game.

935
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: There's no way you want to go over there and

936
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: play a team that's like sitting there waiting on you.

937
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 2: So you're looking at the Jags as they would have

938
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 2: a competitive advantage.

939
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think, and I think you probably.

940
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: Get that same line from the Bills coaching.

941
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 3: Staff say that, no way, that's not fair.

942
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: That's not fair. Now we all know this too. When

943
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: the schedule comes out, you can complain all you want.

944
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: They ain't change it. They not changing it. So you

945
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: got to complain before they make it. You got to say.

946
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: You know, you've got to say, there's no way.

947
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think teams, and I'm thinking

948
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 2: about gms and owners and head coaches, do you think

949
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 2: they have power over affecting when some games are They.

950
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: Do have a voice, They do have a voice. Yeah,

951
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 1: they do listen to them, but they but they can't

952
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: just put their they can't jump on the table, pound

953
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: up and down. They'll try, the league will try, but

954
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: they're under you know, they got other things. You know

955
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: they've got this. The ripple effect is obvious to change

956
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: this game. Well, okay, but okay, those two teams are

957
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: getting changed. Well, that means the two other teams on

958
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: those other weekends are getting changed. And then you know, mushrooms.

959
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 2: So and then it's like, oh, we're not going to

960
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 2: meet our deadline on Thursday at eight o'clock.

961
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 3: We're supposed to do this show because we have these

962
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 3: I would say, seven teams.

963
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: I would say that all of these conversations have been

964
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: had over the last three or four months, right, I

965
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: mean even more so, you know over the last six

966
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: months they've because we've known over six months you know

967
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: what was going to happen, or at least four months.

968
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 2: You have an idea that you have an idea this

969
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 2: is going yeah, and then you have an idea of

970
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 2: schedule release is going to be after the draft.

971
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 3: They still and you can.

972
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: They start right out, they throw it up and then

973
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:58,439
Speaker 1: you know, they.

974
00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 3: Start the opponent.

975
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: They start to speaking it immediately, and then they start

976
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: having these conversations with gms and head coaches and owners.

977
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: Of course, all you get all the input and you

978
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 1: start to hone it down and tweak it and tweak

979
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 1: it and tweak it and tweak it. And you say, listen, well,

980
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: we can't do this, and and That's why when it

981
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: comes out, there are some things that people bought it bothers.

982
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: Some people like, we got three road games in a row,

983
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: or we got you know, we've got Jacksonville, Miami, and

984
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay all in three consecutive weeks on the road.

985
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, not what are we gonna do go down

986
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: there and stay, or we're gonna make the trip you

987
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: know that we don't like that. Or you know, we've

988
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: got three separate West Coast trips and they're spread out

989
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: all over the season. Why can't we just have them

990
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: and go out and stay. That kind of thing so

991
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: we can get acclimated. All of that stuff goes in,

992
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: but they have those conversations, you know, ongoing, and they

993
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: still don't know exactly what's going to be carved in stone.

994
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure different coaches also have different preferences. Yeah, hey,

995
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 2: would we rather be on the West Coast for two

996
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 2: straight games and stay out there? I'm sure sure some

997
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 2: coaches would rather have those spread out across the schedule.

998
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 2: So you probably have to know, oh, this head coach

999
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 2: likes this, this owner likes this, So so it works too.

1000
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: Even more so, the data that I've been that's been

1001
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: shared with me over this stuff over the years, is

1002
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: that it's much more difficult for teams to come east

1003
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: from the West coast, so you got chargers and rams

1004
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: and time different. The Seahawks, it's harder for them to

1005
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: come and play a one o'clock Sunday game on the

1006
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: East coast because at ten am their body clock. So

1007
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: that's that's also an issue.

1008
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 3: Makes sense, All right, break time for us when we

1009
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 3: come back.

1010
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,000

1027
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: But now we'd like to welcome on Judy Batista from

1028
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 2: NFL Media. She's a senior national reporter joining us now. Judy,

1029
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 2: thank you so much for taking the time to be

1030
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 2: on with us. And as we're talking about the schedule

1031
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 2: being released, we know the Bills are gonna have to

1032
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 2: play the Jets twice this year, and you're wondering when

1033
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 2: it could be because the Jets have Aaron Rodgers now

1034
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 2: on their team, and you know, I feel like the

1035
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 2: NFL would absolutely love to put a game like that

1036
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 2: on the opening weekend and maybe put the other one

1037
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 2: toward the end of the season when the playoff picture

1038
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 2: starts to really take shape. So as you begin to

1039
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: think about the NFL schedule lease and the newness surrounding

1040
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 2: the Jets and how they do look a lot better

1041
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 2: than they did last season because of a guy like

1042
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and some of the offensive weapons they're getting,

1043
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: do you think it would make sense to put a

1044
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 2: game like that on the opening weekend on.

1045
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 3: A Monday night or a Sunday night perhaps.

1046
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:03,959
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1047
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 8: Actually, guys, the Jets have a really attractive schedule by

1048
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 8: Tavy standards. Like they play Obviously, they played the division teams,

1049
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 8: which are all really attractive now, but they also have

1050
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 8: the NFC East and the AFC West, so they get

1051
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 8: Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts and the

1052
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 8: Giants and the Cowboys, So they have a really good

1053
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 8: schedule if you're really into primetime matchups. I'm sure the

1054
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 8: Jets view writers who got used to one o'clock starts

1055
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 8: for the last few years are not going to love

1056
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 8: the schedule, but it's the Jets have a really good schedule. Certainly,

1057
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 8: I think whenever the Jets and Bills play for the

1058
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 8: first time, that is going to be a huge lit.

1059
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 7: Miss test for the Jets.

1060
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 8: You know, Obviously the question is does getting Aaron Rodgers

1061
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 8: and these other pieces that they've gotten Alan Lazard and

1062
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 8: Rental Cobb and a few others, you know, has that

1063
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 8: really closed the gap with the Bills. That's the first

1064
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 8: hurdle they have to get over in the division. So

1065
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 8: that first game in particular is going to be really interesting.

1066
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, But plus you're You're right, it could be as

1067
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: simple as putting the Jets and Giants on opening weekend

1068
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:11,919
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, they've they've got to play each other.

1069
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: The Giants, coming off of soup a playoff appearance last year,

1070
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:20,399
Speaker 1: very unexpectedly signed Daniel Jones, and then of course Aaron

1071
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Jets, who the Jets don't forget, had

1072
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,439
Speaker 1: the rookie offensive Rookie of the year, the defensive rookie

1073
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: of the year, and it looked like they killed it

1074
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: in this draft as well, So they got a lot

1075
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: of positives going on into this, So it could be

1076
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills are all nice and dandy, but

1077
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: it might be just as simple as hey put the

1078
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: two New York teams in the game.

1079
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 8: That could easily be the matchup, especially because the Monday

1080
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 8: night game falls happens to fall on September eleventh, so

1081
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 8: obviously putting the two New York teams on September eleventh, yea,

1082
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 8: probably be really attractive for that reason. But they you know,

1083
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 8: I don't envy the schedule makers because they have to

1084
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 8: try to place all of these marquee games in the

1085
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 8: right spot and sort of build up you know, you

1086
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 8: want the big blockbuster week to start, but then they

1087
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 8: want to build the tension, and of course they're hoping

1088
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 8: that they have the really marquee matchups towards the end

1089
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 8: of the season.

1090
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 7: It's just not easy to forecast.

1091
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 8: I mean, every year you see a team go from

1092
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 8: worse to first in a division, So it's just not

1093
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 8: that easy to forecast what these games are going to

1094
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 8: look like this far out.

1095
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 7: But certainly I think at least in the case of

1096
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 7: the Jets, you.

1097
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 8: Know, the Aaron Rodgers acquisition makes them a really hot

1098
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 8: team right now. Whether it all comes together in the end,

1099
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 8: who knows, but I think the interest level is going

1100
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 8: to be high throughout the season.

1101
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 1: Well.

1102
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 2: Staying with the Jets and that Aaron Rodgers acquisition, you

1103
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 2: were there to pretty much cover it all, and we're

1104
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 2: all over NFL Network as that news was breaking and

1105
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 2: as the press conferences were happening ahead of the NFL Draft,

1106
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 2: and even after the NFL Draft as well, covering that

1107
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 2: monumental event for the Jets and having that actually go through,

1108
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 2: you know, you heard the whispering and it was talked

1109
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 2: about it, and then it was calm and quiet, and

1110
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 2: then it was the week of the draft, and it

1111
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 2: was kind of is this thing going to happen? And

1112
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 2: sure enough it does. What were some of the most

1113
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 2: interesting tidbits from watching that finally happen and go through

1114
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 2: the communication that had to happen on both sides. I'm

1115
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 2: sure there are some things that stick out in your

1116
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 2: brain as you kind of already look back on that.

1117
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 8: Well. I think clearly both sides wanted it done in

1118
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 8: time for the draft. Obviously, the Packers wanted to get

1119
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 8: whatever draft picks and be able to exercise those draft

1120
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 8: picks right away, so there was an incentive there for

1121
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 8: them to get it done. And the Jets, I think

1122
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 8: just wanted to be able to go forward, right. I mean,

1123
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 8: it had been rumored for months. They never really lost

1124
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 8: confidence that it was going to happen. It was just

1125
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 8: a matter of figuring out the terms. But they wanted

1126
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 8: to be able to go forward and with their new

1127
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 8: team and go into the off season program. And Aaron

1128
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 8: Rodgers has been part of the off season program. I

1129
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 8: mean he's been out there from the ball around and

1130
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 8: working out with his new teammates and you know, going

1131
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 8: to Knicks and Rangers games and getting to know people.

1132
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 8: But a few of the things that have struck me

1133
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,479
Speaker 8: then and have stayed with me. Or first of all,

1134
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 8: the excitement of the Jets players who were already on

1135
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 8: the team about having Aaron Rodgers. And you know, there's

1136
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 8: a part of you that thinks, like, what must Zach

1137
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 8: Wilson be thinking hearing all of this, But that the

1138
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 8: players are so excited and the anticipation level is so high,

1139
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 8: and the expectation level has just gone so far up,

1140
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 8: and the confidence level.

1141
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 7: I mean, I think.

1142
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 8: That's what Aaron Rodgers brings aside from being a great quarterback,

1143
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 8: is he brings that confidence level like we're we can

1144
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 8: be a really good team here, like we can make

1145
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 8: a run, which frankly is not something I think that

1146
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 8: those Jets players really felt that kind of confidence last year.

1147
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 8: They You're right, they had the offensive and defensive rookies

1148
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 8: of the year, they had a top five defense, but

1149
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 8: you know, they never had that kind of confidence in

1150
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 8: their offense and in their quarterback last year the way

1151
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 8: they do now. And you know, they're barely on the

1152
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 8: field with Aaron Rodgers, but he just brings that with him.

1153
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 8: And the other thing is just from talking to Rogers himself,

1154
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 8: is I think he is refreshed by the change. I

1155
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 8: think he probably there's a little bit of, you know,

1156
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 8: wanting to show the packers what they gave up on.

1157
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 8: But mostly I think much like Tom Brady when he

1158
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 8: went to Tampa Bay, I think the change of scenery has.

1159
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 7: Sort of reinvigorated him.

1160
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 8: Like you know, some of the guys who played with

1161
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 8: him in Green Bay said, like, he's just got such

1162
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 8: a big smile on his face.

1163
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 7: He's just got so much energy.

1164
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 8: And so I think he's you know, there's a bitle

1165
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,959
Speaker 8: of revitalization going on for Aaron Rodgers.

1166
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: Too, Yeah, no question. And it's interesting as well because

1167
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: last year, as we've said, they absolutely hit a grand

1168
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: slam in their draft and to get Aaron Rodgers, and

1169
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: certainly Aaron Rodgers is the headline of the transformation of

1170
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: the Jets. But we were back and forth. I've been

1171
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: talking to some Jet fans and how we and Buffel

1172
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: like we missed a holiday because we can't make fun

1173
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: of the Jet draft anymore, right, I mean, it's like

1174
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: something we're missing because they really there's nothing to make

1175
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: fun of. They really seem to have become something other

1176
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: than the Jets have been over the last few decks.

1177
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: They are doing things right and they're getting some results

1178
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: for it. Give our Bills listeners a refresher of the

1179
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: Jet draft this lat this year. I know they hit

1180
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: it last year, what about this year? And I know

1181
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 1: that because we never hear about it because we're talking

1182
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers all the time.

1183
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 8: Well, the one that I think initially caused some concern

1184
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 8: among Jets fans was the first round pick, the edge

1185
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 8: rusher Well McDonald, who is a really good edge rusher,

1186
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 8: and I think since the draft we've sort of come

1187
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 8: to realize that people in the football community maybe valued

1188
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 8: him more than the draft necks you do who do

1189
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 8: the mock drafts leading up to the draft. He is

1190
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 8: super fast and super bendable, if that's the right word.

1191
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 8: But he can really bend around the edge sort of

1192
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 8: how Von Miller actually can do it. I mean, he

1193
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 8: can really get around the edge. And as Robert Sala explained,

1194
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 8: you know, they like to bring their pass rushers in

1195
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 8: waves and so they need fresh legs and they think

1196
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 8: he will be able to do that. And frankly, they

1197
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 8: think they're going to be playing with more leads because

1198
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers is there including big leads in the fourth quarter,

1199
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 8: and so they're going to be in many more passing

1200
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 8: down situations and they are going to want those guys

1201
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 8: screaming around the edge going after the quarterback. So I

1202
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 8: think that was that pick sort of made some Jets

1203
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 8: fans nervous, like, wait a minute, We've got a lot

1204
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 8: of really good edge rushers, and they do. But that's why,

1205
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 8: you know, they didn't get an offensive tackle in the

1206
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 8: first round, which is where I think a lot of

1207
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 8: fans hoped they would go. But when they lost out

1208
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 8: on that, they pivoted right away to McDonald's. And then

1209
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 8: a few days after that they signed the veteran offensive

1210
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 8: tackle who had played with Rogers and played with Nate

1211
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 8: Hackett in Green Bay, Billy Turner, and so I think.

1212
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 7: That sort of calmed the concerns of Jets fans.

1213
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 8: They also got a so they are solidifying that offensive line,

1214
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 8: which you know, we all focused on the quarterback play

1215
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 8: last year as being the big problem, and it was

1216
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 8: that was certainly the number one problem, but the number

1217
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 8: two problem was the offensive line. They had a lot

1218
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 8: of injuries and it really showed they didn't have much depth.

1219
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 8: So they've really gone to work also on shoring up

1220
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 8: the offensive line, and obviously when you have a quarterback

1221
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 8: who's going into his fortieth year, you want to make

1222
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 8: sure he stays clean. So they've they've devoted a lot

1223
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 8: of resources to the offensive line too.

1224
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 7: So look, you hope it all pans out.

1225
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 8: If you're a Jets fan, you hope it all pans

1226
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 8: out the way the draft picks did last year. I

1227
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 8: mean to hit like that two years in a row

1228
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 8: would be amazing. But they seem to have done a

1229
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 8: very good job. And then of course they've signed you

1230
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 8: in a lot of veterans, Alan Lazard and Rendall Cobb,

1231
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 8: all of that sort of, you know, putting as many

1232
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 8: pieces around Rogers to make them comfortable and to help

1233
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 8: the transition of the offense sort of, you know, accelerate.

1234
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 7: They got a lot of time to make up for

1235
01:01:58,440 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 7: and so they're trying to make up for it.

1236
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of this all panning out for this team, with

1237
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 2: the addition of Rogers and an addition of Will McDonald

1238
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 2: to that defense that's already been really good, and some

1239
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 2: insurance into the offensive line, familiarity for Aaron Rodgers with

1240
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 2: his ties to hack it and other offensive players ties

1241
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 2: to him.

1242
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 3: Is this team ready to just go?

1243
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 2: Is there a learning curve for them all that needs

1244
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 2: to happen in the offseason or are they contenders immediately

1245
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: Based on their additions in the offseason and the fact

1246
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 2: that they had a top five defense last year that

1247
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 2: was tough for the Bills to even score on, well.

1248
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 8: I think they feel like they can beat contenders right away.

1249
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 7: And here's why. Again, they had the top five defense.

1250
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 8: Now, of course, you're never the same team coming back,

1251
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 8: right you just don't pick up where you left off.

1252
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 7: You know, they have to be.

1253
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 8: A top five defense again, but they were top five defense.

1254
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 8: And I think they feel if they had gotten just

1255
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 8: average level quarterback play last year, they would have gotten

1256
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 8: one of the wild card spots just average level. And so,

1257
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously you think Aaron Rodgers is going to

1258
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 8: give you way above average level. Even if you don't

1259
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 8: think he is, you know, Aaron Rodgers peak Aaron Rodgers anymore,

1260
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 8: he's still going to give you far better than just

1261
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 8: average level quarterback play. And just a reminder me, last

1262
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 8: year was sort of considered a down year for Aaron Rodgers.

1263
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 8: First of all, he's playing with a broken thumb. Later

1264
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 8: on he had a rib injury, and his down season

1265
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 8: last year would still have been one of the all

1266
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 8: time great Jets quarterbacking seasons. That's how long it's been

1267
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 8: since the Jets had a quarterback like this. They've never

1268
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 8: had a quarterback like this, and so I do think

1269
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 8: they feel that with him and with the other pieces

1270
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 8: in place, that they can contend right away. We all

1271
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 8: know the AFC is stacked a lot of really top

1272
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 8: level quarterbacks. The division itself is treacherous. So I mean,

1273
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 8: they've certainly got to prove it on the field, but

1274
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 8: there's no question that they have confidence right now in

1275
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 8: the off season that they can they're going to be

1276
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 8: able to play.

1277
01:03:58,480 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 7: With anybody this year.

1278
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And interesting, you talk about the quarterbacks in the

1279
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: AFC and you start with Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen

1280
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers and Justin Herbert and Joe Burrows. Right,

1281
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: you just keep going right as Russ Willson, Trevor Lawrence.

1282
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: You had Trevor Lawrence, and I was gonna and ask

1283
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: you then too. You look at the AFC South, they

1284
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: got two of the top three quarterbacks, two of the

1285
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: top four quarterbacks in the draft are in the same

1286
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: division along with one with Trevor Lawrence, who they're all

1287
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: trying to catch up with. So c J. Stroud and

1288
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, not Bryce Young. C J. Stroud and Anthony

1289
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Richardson go to Indianapolis Colts and to Houston. That division

1290
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: looks to be finally to have bottomed out, shall we say,

1291
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: And maybe you can expect a little better, a little

1292
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: more out of the AFC South this year, I think.

1293
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 8: So I obviously Trevor Lawrence and Den Peterson have a

1294
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 8: head start, and they're all chasing Trevor Lawrence. I mean

1295
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 8: I sort of view this draft with all three of

1296
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 8: the teams taking quarterbacks. Don't forget Tennessee will love us

1297
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 8: that they were all trying to stop the Jaguars from

1298
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 8: getting a stranglehold on that division. For so many years

1299
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 8: the Indianapolis Colts had it, and then it has sort

1300
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 8: of switched hands the last few years really since Andrew

1301
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 8: Luck retired. But this sort of felt like, you know,

1302
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 8: the desperation of teams, so like, don't let Trevor Lawrence

1303
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 8: sees this division and get a hold on it. So

1304
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 8: I think they've got a head start obviously in Jacksonville,

1305
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 8: but you know, over the next decade or so, we

1306
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 8: should see really great competition in that division, which frankly

1307
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 8: has not had great competition in a very long time.

1308
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 7: But you know, I mean Trevor Lawrence.

1309
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 8: Is I don't know if he's a top five quarterback,

1310
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 8: he's a top ten quarterback in the NFL right now.

1311
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 8: Certainly at the end of the season he was very

1312
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 8: much on the rise. And so I think with a

1313
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 8: full season with Doug Peterson the comfort level as they're already,

1314
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,479
Speaker 8: I would expect the Jaguars and Lawrence to be really

1315
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 8: at the.

1316
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 2: Top of their game watching and covering the NFL for

1317
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 2: so many seasons. Two really big quarterback you know, re

1318
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 2: signing Lamar Jackson to the Baltimore Ravens and then the

1319
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 2: Jets training for Aaron Rodgers. As you look at at

1320
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 2: big moves like this that can really shake up a

1321
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 2: conference and shake up a division, add to a division,

1322
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 2: reinforce a team in a division, as in the Baltimore

1323
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 2: Ravens and what they were able to do to solidify

1324
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson Jackson's future in Baltimore. As somebody who reports

1325
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 2: and covers on all this, how do you kind of

1326
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 2: look at and compare the two and how they came

1327
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 2: together and kind of just each team getting what they

1328
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 2: wanted at the end of the day.

1329
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 8: First of all, I thought, like the entire offseason, all

1330
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 8: of that drama surrounding both of those situations got wrapped

1331
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 8: up in the matter of you know how many hours,

1332
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 8: right like forty eight to seventy two hours, it all

1333
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 8: came together. I almost feel like the Lamar Jackson contract

1334
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 8: got overshadowed because it got done and then a few

1335
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 8: hours later the draft starter. So we spent all all

1336
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 8: of that time building up to with Lamar Jackson remained

1337
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 8: with the Ravens where he sit out what would happen,

1338
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 8: and then it got done and then it was okay

1339
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 8: onto the next thing. You know what, taken together with

1340
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 8: those two things told me is like the a f

1341
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 8: C is just so much better. That the power shift

1342
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 8: to the a f C is so so dramatic, and

1343
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 8: having Aaron Rodgers out of the NFC and into the

1344
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 8: AFC only adds to that. But you know, we saw

1345
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 8: it last year. The AFC is just the dominant conference

1346
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 8: right now. And getting through the AFC, you.

1347
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 7: Really, you really earn it.

1348
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 8: I mean that the Chiefs really earned that a FC

1349
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 8: championship last year, you got to go through a gauntlet

1350
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 8: and even you know, even Jets fans who are so

1351
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 8: high right now because of Aaron Rodgers, you know, sort

1352
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 8: of look at the landscape and think like, you know,

1353
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 8: if you're going to the super Bowl for the AFC,

1354
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 8: you are almost certainly going to have to beat Josh Allen,

1355
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahone, maybe Trevor Lawrence in there somewhere.

1356
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 8: And that's not even counting people like, you know, is

1357
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 8: Deshaun Watson going to be better this year?

1358
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 7: You know, what's Kenny Pickett going to look like?

1359
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 8: I mean, justin Herbert, You're still quarterbacks that are on

1360
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,919
Speaker 8: you know what we have questions about and we don't

1361
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 8: even know what they're going to look like this year.

1362
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got to think too, I mean you

1363
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: look look down at the at I mean, is Ryan

1364
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: Tannehill and the Tennessee who were number one seeds two

1365
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: years ago, I mean they're they're they're they got left

1366
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: in the dust over the last eighteen months. It's it

1367
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: doesn't take long to go from the number to the

1368
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: one seed to being ranked sixteenth in the conference.

1369
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, you sort of feel like the window opens very suddenly,

1370
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 8: and then it closes very quickly too. So when the

1371
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 8: window is open, you've you know, you've got to do

1372
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 8: it because it may not be there for long. And

1373
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 8: I especially feel like that's the case. And you know,

1374
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 8: again they drafted Will Levis. How long until we see

1375
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 8: him on the field?

1376
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 3: And how will he be for the Jets?

1377
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 2: And going back to Aaron Rodgers and then really changing

1378
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 2: the landscape of what this team looks like and coming

1379
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 2: at it from our point of view, a team who

1380
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 2: has to play them twice a year, and a team

1381
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 2: who's changed rapidly over the last couple of years. Like

1382
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 2: Steve said, this was a team that was easy to

1383
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 2: make fun of. Now they aren't anymore.

1384
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 3: Do you believe that this?

1385
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 2: Do you believe that this team has truly changed itself

1386
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 2: for the future or do you think and I'm thinking about, okay,

1387
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, how many years does he have left in

1388
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 2: the tank? Is this a fix for the long term

1389
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 2: or is this a fix for the now?

1390
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 8: No, I mean, this is obviously a all in move

1391
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 8: for the next year or two.

1392
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 7: You know, he said it's not a one and done

1393
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 7: in his mind.

1394
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 8: So let's say he plays two years and I think

1395
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 8: what you hope is that his confidence and the way

1396
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 8: he prepares and the way he approaches games rubs off

1397
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 8: on the younger guys, right I mean that was also

1398
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 8: something that the people in Tampa they talked about with

1399
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 8: Brady is Brady didn't just come in and be Tom

1400
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 8: Brady and you know, and lead them because of the

1401
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 8: way he played.

1402
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 7: He also led them because.

1403
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 8: They were watching how Tom Brady prepared for games and

1404
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 8: studied for games and how he viewed games, and that

1405
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 8: helped helps young guys going forward. And so certainly I

1406
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 8: think the Jets hope that that's a part of Aaron Rodgers.

1407
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 8: But there's no question. I mean, this is a play

1408
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 8: for right now. I mean they are going for it.

1409
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 8: They're all in. They haven't made the playoffs in a

1410
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 8: dozen years. It's the longest active non playoff streak. I

1411
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,560
Speaker 8: believe in North American professionals sorces.

1412
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 7: So they want to snap that. But clearly, when you

1413
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:48,599
Speaker 7: go all.

1414
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 8: In and take on Aaron Rodgers contract, I mean you

1415
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 8: are trying to win the Super Bowl right now.

1416
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: One of the things we've seen as well, and this

1417
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 1: kind of turned into one. Jets live here today. But

1418
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: it is really interesting because we're gonna play these guys

1419
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: twice and the division is real. I mean, it's gonna

1420
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,879
Speaker 1: be a really tough division to win this year, particularly

1421
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: if two of tongua Ilois stays healthy and that offense

1422
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 1: does what it did when he was healthy. What I

1423
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 1: what I ask you is the guys that the Jets

1424
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: have brought in, all the old packer guys, and everybody says, well,

1425
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers. It could just as easily be Nate

1426
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: Hackett to me saying, listen, I need some guys who

1427
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 1: know the words to teach the guys who don't know

1428
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: the words. I mean, it could be Aaron Rodgers, and

1429
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: Aaron would probably give his Hey, he's gonna look out

1430
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: for his guys, say yeah, he's a good player, you

1431
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: know he can do it. But I think as much

1432
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: as anything, it would be a guy like Nate Hackett

1433
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 1: who says, listen, it makes it easier on these young

1434
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,639
Speaker 1: guys if we have a bunch of guys who really

1435
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 1: know the offense. So even if they're not gonna play,

1436
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 1: let's bring them in and grease the skids on the

1437
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: uptake of this offense.

1438
01:11:58,280 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 7: Well, Rogers said that himself.

1439
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 8: You know, he said, like, I can't be in every

1440
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 8: meeting room, right like I'm going to be in the

1441
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 8: quarterback room.

1442
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 7: He can't be in the wide receiver room.

1443
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 8: But Alan wizardcan and Renault Tom can, and they can tell,

1444
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 8: you know, Garrett Wilson, who's clearly the number one receiver here.

1445
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 8: They can tell Garrett Wilson like, this is what Aaron likes,

1446
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 8: this is what he wants, this is how you run

1447
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 8: this route, this is you know, when he wants you

1448
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 8: to turn. I mean, this is you know, that is

1449
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 8: part of why the Bucks, for instance, brought in Rob Gronkowski.

1450
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 8: Now Rob Gronkowski is a Hall of Fame tight end,

1451
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 8: so he you know, you would want him on your

1452
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 8: team anyway. But a big reason why they brought him in,

1453
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 8: and then even why they brought in Antonio Brown, who

1454
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 8: Tom Brady liked, was because they had already played with

1455
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 8: Tom and they knew Tom, and they could translate what

1456
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 8: Tom wanted and they could deliver the message to the

1457
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 8: players who hadn't played with Tom Brady. And that is

1458
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 8: a little bit of what's going on at the Jets.

1459
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 8: And there's no question it's also you know this is

1460
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 8: what Nate Hackett likes. But the bigger, the big picture

1461
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 8: is they want to do everything they can to make

1462
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers comfortable and to allow this offense to take

1463
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 8: off immediately. There's just not that long a runway here, right,

1464
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 8: I mean, if you've got two years to win a

1465
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 8: Super Bowl, you don't have a whole lot of time

1466
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 8: for everybody to sort of play their way into a

1467
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 8: comfort level. You got to be comfortable from day one,

1468
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 8: and so they are doing everything they can to make

1469
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 8: Rogers comfortable, to make everybody else on the offense comfortable

1470
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 8: with him, so that you know, when training camp starts,

1471
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,640
Speaker 8: when OTAs start, like they are clicking as much as

1472
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 8: you can possibly be clicking.

1473
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 2: Judy, thank you so much for taking the time to

1474
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 2: come on with us and talk a little bit about

1475
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 2: the Jets and just the monster off season that this

1476
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 2: team has had and the mega additions to this team.

1477
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 2: We're hoping that the Bills can can kind of disrupt

1478
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 2: some of that comfortability once they play them here, probably a.

1479
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:51,719
Speaker 3: Beginning of the season.

1480
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see when the schedule comes out, But thanks

1481
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:55,480
Speaker 2: for joining us, Judy.

1482
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 7: Great to see you guys.

1483
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 8: Take care all right.

1484
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:02,719
Speaker 2: That was Judy Batista, NFL Media senior national reporter who's

1485
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 2: been covering the NFL for several seasons and has gotten

1486
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 2: to see a lot of the crazy trades, acquisitions, all

1487
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 2: of those things go down, and yeah, it'll screwly be

1488
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 2: interesting to see if the Jets can be comfortable in

1489
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,719
Speaker 2: year one with Aaron Rodgers. I'm sure hoping the Bills

1490
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:22,720
Speaker 2: can knock them off of feeling that way when they

1491
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 2: play them twice a year. But they had a stellar

1492
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 2: defense last year. They added several offensive weapons who have

1493
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 2: proven track records in the NFL in terms of how

1494
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 2: they have been able to produce, Alan Lazard, Randall Cobb,

1495
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 2: you name it. The list goes on offensive Rookie of

1496
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 2: the Year, defensive Rookie of the year. This team has

1497
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,480
Speaker 2: a good, good roster.

1498
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: Really good roster. And of course, you know, you know,

1499
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:50,679
Speaker 1: as Bills know as well as anybody, you can't really

1500
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: predict the future. But they're doing everything they can to

1501
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: ramp up and be ready week one. And that we've

1502
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: been talking about, you know, the schedule when the Bills

1503
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: will play the Jets, they're gonna have to play, They're

1504
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna play them in MeTL life. They're gonna play them here.

1505
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: Those games are gonna be extremely interesting until they're not

1506
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 1: until one one of the Bills, the Jets play their

1507
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: way out of it, or somebody gets hurt and they're

1508
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,839
Speaker 1: not as interesting, or they're they're you know, the odds

1509
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 1: go way up and about them, you know, not making

1510
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs or whatever, one of those two teams that

1511
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 1: the matchup is not as good as we thought it was.

1512
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 1: And that's which is our question today. Week one is

1513
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: gonna be at a frenzied level for the interest in

1514
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: that game, not just the Jets in general, but to

1515
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: see them measure up to a team that has something

1516
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: going on like the Bills or the Chiefs or another

1517
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,680
Speaker 1: great quarterback like Justin Herbert in La which I know

1518
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: those guys play. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys is probably

1519
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: or on the Jets schedule as well. You can bet

1520
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: the Jets are going to be in a primetime game

1521
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: on Opening weekend. And whether it's the Bills or not,

1522
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 1: don't know, but Aaron Rodgers and the Jets you can

1523
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: bet will be.

1524
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 2: Could there be another team in the AFC East that

1525
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 2: has more primetime games than the Bills this year.

1526
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Jets would qualify for that certainly. Yeah, that's good.

1527
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 1: That's a good point. It's a really good point. The

1528
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 1: Jets could be the darling of the league this year

1529
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Yeah, that's like the Bills were

1530
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: a year ago. There's a lot of reasons, like we've

1531
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: been talking, a lot of reasons why people would start

1532
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 1: jumping on that bandwagon because of the two the offensive

1533
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: and defensive rookie of years last year, Sauce Gardner and

1534
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 1: Breeze Hall last year having such a good season. Of course,

1535
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 1: Breecee Hall will be bouncing back. Yeah, but Aaron Rodgers

1536
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 1: like washes that with, you know, with a huge brush.

1537
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he covers all of that and makes it

1538
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,560
Speaker 1: all that much more interesting. The defense is going to

1539
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: be intact and may perhaps even better with the addition

1540
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: of you know, the edge rusher they drafted. It's they're

1541
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: an interesting team now. Yeah, they got a long way

1542
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 1: to go before I'm gonna say, yeah, they're gonna be

1543
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 1: up there with the Chiefs, up there with the Bills,

1544
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: up there with the Bengals. But certainly they're gonna be

1545
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: They've got every reason to believe they're gonna be in

1546
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 1: the race for a playoff spot and a division title

1547
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 1: depending on how they play against the Bills and Dolphins

1548
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: and Patriots.

1549
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,839
Speaker 2: You have some young kids like Sauce Gardner and Garrett

1550
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 2: Wilson who won those awards. Let's see how they can

1551
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 2: grow too in year two and on with the team

1552
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 2: that has Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback. When we come

1581
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 1: that kind of thing.

1582
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 3: You got the Chiefs too, and yeahs, or you could get.

1583
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: You give us the Broncos of the Raiders. They struggled

1584
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 1: last year. There, you know, there's no reason to think

1585
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna get off the mat in a big way

1586
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 1: this hot this year. Newd new head coach for the Broncos.

1587
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 1: So you could you could do that, or give us

1588
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. You know, a team that's struggled over

1589
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 1: the last decades. So you know, give us those guys,

1590
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 1: let's get us out of the gate. I want to

1591
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: know and do that. There's some of that going on.

1592
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: There's something that going on. My yeah, I get that.

1593
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: You gotta play those teams. Do you want to ease

1594
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 1: into the year and get get your you know, what's

1595
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: a value? Or would you rather play one of these

1596
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: teams like the Chiefs, the Jets, you know, the Bengals.

1597
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: You want to play one of those teams, you know,

1598
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: like out of the gate and hit him with the fist.

1599
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,560
Speaker 3: When you're full roster, you're healthy.

1600
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 1: You're rejuvenated. Let's go healthy, you know what I mean.

1601
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 1: You want to hit him in the mouth when you

1602
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: got your full roster. Yeah, because the team was different

1603
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:21,560
Speaker 1: late in the season without Von Miller. Offensive line was

1604
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: all nicked up, you know, and then of course when

1605
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: Damar Hamler went down, the team wasn't the same. You know,

1606
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff happens and you're just not the same

1607
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: team late in the season.

1608
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 2: Well, we've got Eric from Buffalo who's been hanging on

1609
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 2: the line for a while. So let's go to Eric.

1610
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 3: What's up?

1611
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: Eric?

1612
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 2: Let me see if we can get you up here. Man,

1613
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 2: I am not a wizard with this machine. Brownie's the wizard.

1614
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 3: Hey, Eric, you're on with us. How are you today?

1615
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 6: Hi? Mary? Hi Steve?

1616
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:51,800
Speaker 1: How you doing?

1617
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 4: Eric?

1618
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 6: This one's I think this one's a toss up or

1619
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 6: an easy one. Yeah, week one, Monday night or Sunday

1620
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 6: night the Bengals for the return of Devine Hamblin to

1621
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 6: the field.

1622
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think what to me? And you're right. I

1623
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,599
Speaker 1: mean it sounds like an easy one. I don't know

1624
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I mean,

1625
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 1: you got these guys that are like, they can't get

1626
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: that out of their mind. You know, I don't. It's

1627
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: been Mike.

1628
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 6: Well, if they showed the national audience of what happened,

1629
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 6: you know, the horror show them the lifting up.

1630
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. It's just the fact that it

1631
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: may and that may be good for everybody who's not

1632
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,639
Speaker 1: wearing a Bill's uniform. I still worry about that game,

1633
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,599
Speaker 1: even if it comes in week fifteen of this next season.

1634
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a good tough one. Yeah, it's gonna

1635
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: be a really tough one. So you're saying give them

1636
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 1: the toughest possible matchup emotionally right out of the gate.

1637
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 6: I think the NFL will do it because of the storyline.

1638
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might be. Plus the way the Bengals really

1639
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:56,600
Speaker 1: thumped the Buffalo Bills, you know, three weeks after the

1640
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: Monday night game in the playoffs ended the season. And

1641
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: really that Bengals game because of our all of our

1642
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: propensity to be you know, recency biased. That Bengals game

1643
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 1: makes everybody think the Bills are like, not that great

1644
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 1: a team anymore.

1645
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 3: You know why they're under the radar.

1646
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,479
Speaker 1: That's right, The Bills are really under the radar because

1647
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: of the way the Bengals handled him in that last game.

1648
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:19,639
Speaker 1: And you know, for me and Brownie and I don't know, Maddy,

1649
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 1: you all ask you too, I thought the DeMar Hamlin

1650
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: injury really set them back a lot. It was rough

1651
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:31,959
Speaker 1: for those guys after they saw their friend and teammate

1652
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:35,680
Speaker 1: pass away and then get resuscitated. I thought it really

1653
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: affected them.

1654
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:42,639
Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, Eric, Yeah, I can understand, of course,

1655
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 2: because that's how the team went out last year. And

1656
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 2: it is a really big storyline in the NFL loves storylines,

1657
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 2: and it was such an impactful game for the entire

1658
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 2: country in a lot of ways, just watching that happen

1659
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 2: live on television and watching DeMar come back to life

1660
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 2: and all the good news that we found out, and

1661
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 2: now the fact that he's back here training and getting

1662
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 2: ready for the season, it would make sense to have

1663
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 2: a game like that be game one of the year

1664
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 2: for the Bills and just to go right back at it.

1665
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 2: But whenever it is on the schedule this season, like

1666
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:24,679
Speaker 2: you said, Tasker, it's it's gonna be a mental hurdle

1667
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 2: that they're gonna have to climb and get over getting

1668
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 2: ready for a game like that. And I think you know,

1669
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 2: for for the next few years, that game is gonna

1670
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 2: be a game where you're gonna have to get over

1671
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 2: a mental hurdle because of what that game meant, and

1672
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 2: because of what happened in that game, and also just

1673
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 2: playing them in the playoffs and how that game went.

1674
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 2: I that game was so frustrating for the team. It

1675
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,520
Speaker 2: was frustrating for us. They did not look like themselves.

1676
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 2: We're sitting up here trying to break the game down

1677
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 2: and break the season down, and we're just like befuddled

1678
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 2: because it's like we haven't I've seen this team all year, right,

1679
01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 2: play like this. This is not the team that we know,

1680
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 2: This is not the team that we love. They this

1681
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 2: is not how it was supposed to happen. This is

1682
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 2: not how it was supposed to go out. This was

1683
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 2: not how, you know, the script that we all wanted

1684
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 2: to happen. The Bills march back from something that's been

1685
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 2: devastating and get to have their day with the Bengals

1686
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 2: and and move on in the playoffs and in March

1687
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 2: to the super Bowl. That did not happen for this team.

1688
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 2: So they've got to face them at least once this year.

1689
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 2: But with a team like the Bengals, you're is that

1690
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 2: a team you're going to see the playoffs?

1691
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: That's right. They're gonna have to get over it at

1692
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:44,679
Speaker 1: some point. And who knows if if that's if that's

1693
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: if it's even going to be a thing. Who knows

1694
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 1: if it's even gonna be a thing. It may not,

1695
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: And all I know is in you know, it was

1696
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: a it was a big deal, as a huge at

1697
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: the very least, it was a huge distraction, and the

1698
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 1: Bills did not play very well from that point of

1699
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: the season on. From that point of the season on,

1700
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 1: they looked like a completely different group of guys. Plus

1701
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 1: the injuries that they sustained with Von Miller going out.

1702
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:15,680
Speaker 3: They were so injured by that point in the year.

1703
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: It was and Michah Hyde wasn't there, Jordan Poyer was

1704
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 1: a shell of himself, Benford was it out at corner,

1705
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 1: the say, you know, the say everything everybody was. They

1706
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: were a mess, and that was something too. Yeah, Jordan

1707
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 1: Phillips couldn't play, Jakwan Jones, Dawon Jones, Jones was out.

1708
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: You know, that was just one thing after another, and

1709
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: that was something up until for the two years at

1710
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 1: least previous to that, maybe the three years previous to that,

1711
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: they had not had very many injuries at all. So

1712
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: it was something that they, you know, had not been

1713
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: familiar with and they hadn't had to be have their

1714
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 1: depth tested to the point that it was last year,

1715
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: late in the season, plus the stuff we're talking about.

1716
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 1: I am not a fan of that Cincinnati game. I

1717
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 1: just got to say, I'm not a fan of that

1718
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: of starting out this opening the season with it, I

1719
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: get it, though, it's a great I like the idea.

1720
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,799
Speaker 2: Of opening the season with a tough opponent, though, because

1721
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 2: you go into the year with a lot of energy,

1722
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 2: with all with a lot of juice. You're supposed to

1723
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 2: be healthier than you will be at the end of

1724
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 2: the year. You've got this build up, so like, yeah,

1725
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:24,679
Speaker 2: let's play some smack mouth football against a really good team.

1726
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to ease into it. I'm

1727
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 2: also the type person like I want to jump into anything.

1728
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to ease into it. Let's just face it,

1729
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:35,600
Speaker 2: so get one of those tough games out of the

1730
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 2: way right away, get a get a pack stadium, a

1731
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:42,759
Speaker 2: really big crowd, a night game, like, let's go right.

1732
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can. I'm with you. That's why I kind

1733
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: of thing. Let's go to New York. Let's go to

1734
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 1: met Life and take on Aaron Rodgers.

1735
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 3: Let's get it on.

1736
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,679
Speaker 1: Let's go to Arrowhead, let's take on the Chiefs. Let's

1737
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: get things rolling. What do you mean, It's a matchup

1738
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: that has been stellar over the last three years, and

1739
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a chance to see it stellar again.

1740
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,640
Speaker 1: Open you know, and can anybody take him out? I

1741
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: would probably guess that this if the Bengals have the

1742
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 1: Chiefs on their schedule, which I don't know. If they do,

1743
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 1: that would be a candidate for that. Aaron Rodgers and

1744
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: the Jets going to the ABC.

1745
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 3: Chiefs and Eagles are going to play each other.

1746
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Eagles could be a great way to start

1747
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:25,640
Speaker 1: the new season. But I'm I don't know. There's a

1748
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 1: lot of great opportunities because also we've been talking about it.

1749
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 1: You've got the three games on Christmas Day or I'm sorry, Yeah,

1750
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 1: three games on Christmas Day, a game on Christmas Eve,

1751
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 1: three games on Thanksgiving. You've got a Black Friday game

1752
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 1: for the first time in NFL history, the Chiefs do

1753
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 1: play the Bengals. You got all these matchups that you

1754
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: can sprinkle in, all these prime time things. Maybe if

1755
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: the Bills could stay off the radar, they can get

1756
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: eight one one pm games here and orch and I

1757
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:55,080
Speaker 1: don't have a problem. I'm all about it. I'm all

1758
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: about it. That's fine with me. I mean, we had

1759
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: like six of them last year. You know, let somebody

1760
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:04,520
Speaker 1: else stay up till one am in postgame.

1761
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:05,920
