Speaker 1: interesting things he said, which, as per usual, he didn't

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: say too much. I mean, he's pretty tight lip. He

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: says a lot. Even answer his favorite Murph and I

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: And he wouldn't answer. He's like, uh, you know, I

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: liked you want to Dinner the film Last Dinner. He

35
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't answer it. It was great. He's a great guy.

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: He's great, great off Mike, he's fantastic. But they just

37
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: and I remember I was the same way. You can't

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: talk about anything about football with anybody because you think

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna get you beat on Sunday, Oh come on, really,

40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: restaurant just uh, it's unbelievable. But that's the running joke

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: about Dave Ball. He did have an an interesting press

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: conference to some extent today because because of the time

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: of year it is, they're asking him about Josh Josh Allen.

44
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: How's he doing, how's he how's he progressed, what's And

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: Dave all puts a lot of the blame or h

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: takes a lot of responsibility for how good or how

47
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: bad or you know, the mistakes that Josh has made

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: is and how the offense has played, and Dave, I

49
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: don't think rightfully, so, I mean, some of it maybe,

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: But he says there's some plays I'd like to have

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: back in the in the Patriot games, some calls I'd

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: like to have back, and there's some you know things

53
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: about the last Miami game. I remember this is the

54
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: Miami game, and I know all Bills fans remember this

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: is the game that the Bills absolutely beat the Miami

56
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins to a pulp and then lost. Yeah, I mean,

57
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: they totally outplayed the Dolphins in the last time they

58
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: played him down in Miami. This is a game when

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen ran wild and they had the last second

60
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: play to Charles Clay who was in the back of

61
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: the end zone. He had to break on the ball

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: and come up to the front of the end zone.

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: The ball came out of Josh's hand funky on the

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: front end, and they couldn't catch it, and they ended

65
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: up losing the game on that play. And and uh

66
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: and that's uh, that's he looked at the statistics of

67
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: that game and how did the Bills lose that one?

68
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: Bills got four hundred and fifteen yards of offense and

69
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: that game to Dolphins count one seventy five. It might

70
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: have been Josh's best game. He ran for what one

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five was as a franchise record. Yeah,

72
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: he ran for nine carries, one under thirty five yards.

73
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: They turned it over three times. That's how they lost.

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: They only got one takeaway. And the Dolphins were really

75
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: good in the red zone, right, they had three. Yeah,

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: and that's how they different situational football. And you think

77
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: too that you say, oh, he turned it over to

78
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: he had through He had two interceptions. One was a

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: hail Mary at the end of the half, so you

80
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: can kind of throw that one away. But the second

81
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: one was on a nice Uh he got broken off

82
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: underneath on a Damien Howard. Yeah, yeah, Howard broke on

83
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: it and got it. But and Brian Daboll talked about

84
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: all of that as press conferences. This is that time

85
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: of year when you know there's a lot to a

86
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: lot to think about about what's going on, what's going

87
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: to happen moving forward, And here in Buffalo, unfortunately, we're

88
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: not talking about playoffs somewhere, we're not talking about all

89
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: the scenarios around the league and all these teams getting

90
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: in or getting out the way we were last year.

91
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: It's more about where our team has headed, where it's been,

92
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: and what about what's going to happen moving forward. And

93
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of interest in that. For me,

94
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I enjoy it. I like it because I

95
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: like the direction that the team's headed. And I said

96
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: this to you, Murph, and I don't know if you

97
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: thought about it or not, but I said, what would

98
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: have happened if the Bills would have had the number

99
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: two offense in the league instead of the number two defense,

100
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: and the number thirty thirty whatever, thirty one or thirty

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: two offense instead of the number thirty one or thirty

102
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: two defense instead of their number one or two defense, right,

103
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: a few to flip their rankings? Right? What am I

104
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: saying here? I don't know. That's hard to imagine really

105
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: with the p an all that lines up on offense, right,

106
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, I mean, what would

107
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: it be like, because that would be a team You'd

108
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: think with an offense like that would be hard to

109
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: keep up with and they'd win more games that way. Right.

110
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: You think with the defense that was second the last

111
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Twitter pull we should put out sometime too, would you

112
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: rather have be like like the Bills are right now,

113
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: the same same exact record five and ten. Would you

114
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: rather have the best offense and the worst defense or

115
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: the worst defense and the best offense, same record? I mean,

116
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City has the thirty first ranked defense this year.

117
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: They're doing okay, they have the number one offense. Well,

118
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: there you go. Scinati has the dead last defense in

119
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: the league. They're not doing so so red hot. I've

120
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: got them this weekend, you got Cincinnati at Pitts Pittsburg. Yeah,

121
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's an interesting question. It's just hard

122
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 1: to imagine with the group that lines up on offense

123
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: for the Bills that they could be anywhere near one

124
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: of the top spots. I'm just saying, if it's a big,

125
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: it'd be fun, be more fun, right, yeah, I think

126
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: a great it would be more more games because I

127
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: can score see me easier, and you know other teams

128
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: would if they stumbled on the scoreboard or in a situation,

129
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: then you get up, get up on him. You'd win

130
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: more games that way. But the Rams are the number

131
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: two offense are pretty fun. Tampa Bay the number three offense,

132
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay the record, Um, I don't know, but the

133
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: number twenty four defense, they're not good. Tampa Bay's record

134
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: is number three offense. So you can go a lot

135
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: of ways. What you really need is there. They're five

136
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: and ten. They're just like the bill bills. So there

137
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: they are that they're your answer. Right there, there's your answer.

138
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: We'd be the you know what, No thanks exactly. I

139
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: like where I'm at. Here's here's a big if. Um,

140
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: we are a couple of days away, you know, the

141
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: season end Sunday Monday will be the day when many

142
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: coaches are fired. There already are some vacancies, already some

143
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: some interviews. Really. The Packers reportedly have interviewed to Chuck Bagano,

144
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: former Colts coach and um um the former coach of

145
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions whose name escapes me right now, Jim Caldwell,

146
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: you've interviewed him. But um NFL dot com prinical list

147
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: of head coaching candidates. Names to know on this list

148
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: and they're not ranked. But on this list is I

149
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: think a guy who deserves a chance deserves at least

150
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: mentioned on this list. Leslie Frasier, the Bill's defensive coordinator.

151
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: He's fifty nine years old. He seems like he's, you know,

152
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: in the right age profile. He was former head coach

153
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Vikings twenty and ten through twoy thirteen,

154
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: twenty one wins, thirty two losses, one tie, one playoff appearance.

155
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: I've been nothing but impressed by Leslie Frasier here, Steve,

156
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, his demeanor, his presence on the sidelines

157
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: in practice is sensational. He has had I mean, he

158
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: has been a head coach and had some success and

159
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: playoff appearance with the Vikings. Do I hope he leaves

160
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: the Bill is absolutely not. I think he is revered

161
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: among his players and respected among everybody in the building.

162
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Do I think he deserves a mention as a head

163
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: coaching candidate. Absolutely he does based on his resume, what

164
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: he's done here with the Buffalo defense, and mostly based

165
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: on his demeanor, the way he had those people, the

166
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: way I think he's a big picture guy and he's

167
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: demonstrated that here the last couple of years with Buffalo.

168
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: I hope he gets an interview. I hope he doesn't leave. Yeah,

169
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: I do too, and I think he does deserve an interview.

170
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: He's but let's face it, here in Buffalo, and we

171
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: all know this too. You look around the league and

172
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: all those people who kind of keep track of this

173
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing and find interest in where the coaches go.

174
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: You know that whenever you've got a coordinator like Don

175
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: wink Martindale in Baltimore, all of a sudden, it's his

176
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: first year's coordinator, he's got the number one defense in

177
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: the league. Leslie Frazier has done this for a while now,

178
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: he's got the number two defense in the league. And

179
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: you look at all the coordinators like Matt Naggy last year,

180
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: who's now the head coach in Chicago. Anytime you get

181
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: one side of the ball or the other with a

182
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: coordinator who's really getting it done, they start getting considered

183
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: as a head coaching candidate. And there's also the league

184
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: puts together a and a committee of former head coaches.

185
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: Bill Cowers on it, Bruce Arians is on it, John

186
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: Madden is on it, just to name a few. And

187
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: they put together a list of guys who are hot candidates,

188
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: who are maybe under the radar things for ownership groups

189
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: and things like that. And and some of these ownership

190
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: groups almost all of them use professional search groups, right,

191
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: they use consultants. Yeah, the Packers are not. They are

192
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: not using a consultant, and they've already started their interview process.

193
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: So that's an interesting to a voice. But I think

194
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: you know that if you've got a hot coordinator, he's

195
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: gonna get looked at, he's gonna get interviewed. Yeah, and

196
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: Leslie fleas is he a hot coordinator. I don't know

197
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: if I forgot the number two defense in the league,

198
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: but he is, he would he would a fan base.

199
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: Bak said, Oh, we got Leslie Frasier. I don't know

200
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: about that. First of all, I think fans get more

201
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: excited about offensive coordinators and salivate about, you know, Josh

202
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: McDaniels or Sean mcvah. A couple of years ago. Secondly,

203
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, at age fifty nine, he's not a hot

204
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: young coordinator. He's not old, but he's not young, I

205
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: Gues said. I hope he gets a chance. I think

206
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: a smart team would take a long look at Leslie.

207
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: Frasier is a possible head coaching candidate, mostly because, as

208
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: they said, of his demeanor and his experience, his long resume. Look,

209
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: Sean McVay is great, but he didn't have a ton

210
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: of experience there. You don't always have to be experienced.

211
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: But I think it helps, and I think it helps

212
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: you have a guy who's been a head coach before.

213
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I really do. I'll tell

214
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: you this too. It comes down to a lot of

215
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: a lot of things come down to the kind of

216
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: staff he can put together. Yeah, you think, and the

217
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: situation too. Think about, say, for instance, the Cleveland Browns,

218
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: if they're going to start interviewing guys to either replace

219
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: or if they're going to keep Greg Williams or whatever

220
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: that happens. There's a lot of momentum in Cleveland to

221
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: keep their offensive coordinator, which is Kitchens. Freddie Freddie Kitchens,

222
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: who has done a masterful job with Baker Mayfield and

223
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: the and the relationship he has with Mayfield has been

224
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: part of the reason for their success. They're seven seven

225
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: and one, they're bat in five hundred and there. They

226
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: could go six and two under Greg Williams, is inter

227
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: him head coach If you are going to switch out

228
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: the head coach in that, which it looks, you know,

229
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: every passing week that they win, looks less and less

230
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: likely that Greg Williams is going anywhere. But if they do,

231
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: a defensive head coach may be the way to go,

232
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: particularly since he may be more inclined to keep Freddie

233
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: Kitchens on board. If you get my you know, I'm sure, yeah,

234
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: So it may be a better fit for the ownership. Say, okay,

235
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: let's get a defensive guy. He's gonna need a strong

236
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: coordinator or a coordinator with a history already, like Freddy Kitchens.

237
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: It'll be a smoother transition for him and he could

238
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: take over the defense and go move on from there.

239
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: So that kind of the situation for each team is

240
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: always very different. And I think guys like Leslie Frasier

241
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: and and Jim Caldwell, who's interviewed with Green Bay, guys

242
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: like that, you know, I think that's their niche. You know,

243
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: it depends on the ownership group in the situation with

244
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: a specific team they're interviewing with. Yeah, so we're a

245
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: couple of days away from when this all becomes really

246
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: relevant and it heats up in a hurry, probably Sunday night.

247
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: They'll be announcements of impending moves Sunday night going into Monday.

248
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: As we've had a couple of teams, Browns, Packers already

249
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: in the market for a head coach. There will be more,

250
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a couple to watch, and maybe

251
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: the Bills. It looks like Adam Gates is staying right.

252
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: All reports are Adam Gays will stay in Miami. They're

253
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: gonna hire a new general a vice president of football operations,

254
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: it would appear, and that's something that'll be a kind

255
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: of a subtext to Sunday's Bills Dolphins game. What does

256
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: that mean? Vice president of football? It's not a general manager, right?

257
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: They have a GM and Greer right, Yeah, I'm not

258
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: sure what was he striping the field? Know what do

259
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: you get? A little bit? President of football operations have

260
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 1: to do with how good the team is? Oh? I

261
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: think Tannebaum had had a big role down there. You

262
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: can make him do whatever you want. Yeah, I mean

263
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: that's a kind of I think he was involved in

264
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: talent acquisition and contract negotiation evaluations. He coordinating the pro

265
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: and college scouting. What's the general manager? I don't know.

266
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how they set it up. Yeah, see weird,

267
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: that's to me. I mean like they're making like this

268
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: big deal. But they got a GM. They got a GM.

269
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: They're willing to empower that GM. Is the question we'll see. Okay,

270
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: today's show, we got a good one. We think we're

271
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: going to Bill's practice. Is going to take you to

272
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Bill's practice in a couple of minutes. You're working out

273
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: side today, believe it or not. It's good working outside

274
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: in the sunshine. We got a beautiful day here in

275
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: Archard Park, temperature in the mid to upper thirties, and

276
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: Chris Brown will be warmly dressed on the sidelines covering

277
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: practice for us about all about fifteen twenty minutes from now.

278
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: Looking forward to that come up at one o'clock. We'll

279
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: get maybe an insight into what those guys do. Joe

280
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: Rose a long time tight end for the Miami Dolphins

281
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: and a long time radio color analyst on the Dolphins

282
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Joe Rose joins us today in the one

283
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. We can ask him those questions. Let's ask

284
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: Joe Rose, you know. And I hope Jay Harris our

285
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: producers listening to the show. Sometimes he doesn't text him

286
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: and tell him we're gonna ask him about that. That's

287
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: an order also on the show today, Whale, he'll get it.

288
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: He'll find him. Maybe he'll do some research and let

289
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: fill us in. Pat DeMarco's going to join us after

290
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: practice one forty five two o'clock or so, builds fullback

291
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: who I think has played and is continues to be

292
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: not the critical piece of the Buffalo offense, but an

293
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: important piece when they're running the ball well. They haven't

294
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: done it very often this year, but when they do

295
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: run it well, it seems to mean Pat de Marco

296
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: as a fullback has had a lot to do with that. Now,

297
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of games so they can

298
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: say that's the game that we ran the ball while

299
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: but I think DeMarco he is a important piece of

300
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: the puzzle here, a guy that Sean McDermott leans on

301
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: to be a leader too. In that locker room. Yeah.

302
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: I think philosophically they want a fullback on their team. Yeah,

303
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, they don't want to use a tight end

304
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: as an in between guy who can line up a

305
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: different spot. They want a guy who's a dedicated fullback

306
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. And maybe it's just for short yardage,

307
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: situational stuff, goal line, or maybe it's because they like

308
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: what the defense sees in their personnel and they keep

309
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: different guys active and inactive on a weekly basis based

310
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: on whether a team has a fullback or not, and

311
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: they like that having him on the roster, whatever the case.

312
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't carry it off. And he had one carry

313
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: this year for the eight yards. I think it was

314
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: in the Detroit game when they had sixteen guys at

315
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: running back go down and it was just him and

316
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: it was him and Keith Ford and that was the

317
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: last two guys staying, so he ended up getting a carry.

318
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't He doesn't carry I think as his first

319
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: carrys Bill wasn't it. No, he said, carries just that much. Yeah,

320
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: he hasn't had much. I first carry the season, I

321
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: know that. But that's the Uh, that's that's where we're at.

322
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, DeMarco's gonna come on. We'll ask him about that.

323
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: What it is, what he's thinking about this game, the

324
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins game, and whether they can It was his first

325
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: carry of the season. You're right point for nine yards, yeah, man,

326
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: he said. In the NFL he said, uh, four carries

327
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: three with the Buffalo Bills don't get a lot of touches, right.

328
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: That was his third carry, So I was close. And

329
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: yet I think he's an important part of three carries. Yeah.

330
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: Pat de Marco joins us around the two o'clock for

331
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: because you got a guy on your team that he's

332
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: a running back per se or fullback, never carries the ball.

333
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: There's a there's got to be a tendency to exploit

334
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: there for a defense. Sure, Yeah, I don't know, don't

335
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: worry about it. I'm sure it is what they think. Yeah, Hey,

336
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: we have a pretty good Twitter poll today, we think

337
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: and we want to get your involvement on this. So

338
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: it's the Bills and the Dolphins. They get a chance

339
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: to play each other for the second time this year.

340
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: The Bill is trying to avoid being swept by the Dolphins.

341
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: The series has gone and sweeps a lot over the

342
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: last few years. Last year the Bills swept Miami. Well,

343
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: I don't know from you when you look at the

344
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: AFC East and look what's ahead, and we're not turning

00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: the pages yet to twenty nineteen, but overall, looking ahead,

346
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: which AFC East team do you think has the brightest future?

347

360
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: two thirds of you responding so far, sixty seven percent

361
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: think the bill have the brightest future over the next

362
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: two to four years. Twenty two percent of you think

363
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: it's the Jets. Seven percent think it's the Patriots. Only

364
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: four percent think it's the Dolphins. Let's go through these

365
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: a little bit and keep in mind the phone lines

366
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: are open for you right now at eight oh three

367
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: five fifty or two three one eight eight eight five

368
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Let's start with the Dolphins. We'll

369
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: get back to the Bills in a second. Only four

370
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: percent of our responders say it's the Dolphins, Steve, and

371
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the right way to look at it.

372
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: Not many think that their future is that bright because

373
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: of two big reasons. I think Tannehill his future a

374
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: little bit cloudy right now. Some people think Sunday's game

375
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: here might be his last game in a Dolphins uniform.

376
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: The Tannenbaum is on the way out, and who knows

377
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: how much longer Adam Gaye stays there. There are a

378
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: lot of questions about the Miami Dolphins. Even if Ryan

379
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: Tannehill stays I think many people would have questions about

380
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: how bright their future is over the next two or

381
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: four years. He's been hurt. What did I read he

382
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: had play is I think played a total of ten

383
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: games out of the last thirty four games they have

384
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, the Dolphins have had on this schedule, so

385
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: he has trouble staying healthy, and when he plays, he

386
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: doesn't play all that well, seems less mobile than ever,

387
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: which the Dolphins have the brightest future. Only four percent

388
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: of I respond and say, yes, what do you think

389
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins future next couple of years? Steve Well,

390
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: I agree with you, there's there's some turmoil there they

391
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: and you think though their expectations had to drop off

392
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: this year compared to the last two years. Remember, they

393
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: lost Jarvis Landry, they lost in Dominican Sue. They lost Jayagi,

394
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: who was a really good running back. So they dropped

395
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: some very talented players. I don't know if any Some

396
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: people may not remember this from the offseason, because you

397
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: get wrapped up in the current season, you forget where

398
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were. They shed all of those players. And

399
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: I don't mean they they kicked him to the curb.

400
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: They let him go. And so with that departure of

401
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: really high quality, respected talent, you kind of think they

402
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: would take a step back. Plus their quarterback Tannehill has

403
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: been injured. He was coming back off an injury, so

404
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: that their expectations had to be deflated A little bit anyway.

405
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: But then as the season rolled on, Tannehill didn't play

406
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: every game. He got hurt. Uh and you know, and

407
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: that so that's now they're firing their vice president of

408
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: football operations. Uh. Tannehill doesn't look like he's gonna be

409
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: there in the future at least, that's the rumbling. And

410
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: they just didn't play well enough down the stretch. Uh,

411
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: not even down the stretch all season. I think they underachieved.

412
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they gotta they stole a game from the

413
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills when the Bills absolutely ran all over and

414
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: the Bills in the current state of the Bills offense,

415
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's you know, the Dolphins and the Jets,

416
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: the way the Bills played in New York and in Miami,

417
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: that should signal some bad things for those two teams

418
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: and their ability to stop people. They ran all over Miami.

419
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: And listen, you got a rookie quarterback. And you can

420
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: say whatever you want about the red zone offense and stuff.

421
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: That's something that you're looking at that going what are

422
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: we doing, you know, what are we doing as a defense.

423
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: Why can't we stop a rookie quarterback with a team

424
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: with no run game? You know what's our problem? Why

425
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: can't we stop the quarterback from running? Well, that's true

426
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: either way, that spells bad thing. I mean that the

427
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: expectations have got to be down in Miami, and I

428
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: think it's going to remain there. And I think our

429
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: Twitter poll reflects that their immediate future doesn't look that

430
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: bright with uncertainty, right, and they're gonna come here Sunday

431
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: with uncertainty about his gaze. Really our coach? Is Tannehill

432
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: really our quarterback? So that's why four percent of our

433
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: respond and say their future doesn't look that bright. Next

434
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: on the list the Jets. The New York Jets the

435
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: second choice of many of our respondents for the team

436
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: with the brightest future. Twenty two percent of our respondents

437
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: say the Jets have the brightest future. I get that.

438
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: I think Donald has played well. I think they have

439
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: a you know a couple of building blocks on defense,

440
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: including the safety from LSU. I just there are some

441
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: pieces in place. But the thing about the Jets is

442
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: they've got a coaching change coming, right. We know that

443
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna change that coaches, So how can you say

444
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: that'll be a bright future before what does that coach

445
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: do does he break who is it? Who is it?

446
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: And what does he do? Does he break it down?

447
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: Install new systems offense and defense? Sam Donald will be

448
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: playing what in his second offense. I think the offensive

449
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: coordinator will go with when the head coach goes, when

450
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: balls go. That's why it's hard for me to say

451
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: the Jets have the brightest future next two to four

452
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: years because they're looking at a kind of a change

453
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: next year year, next year. Yeah, I agree, and that's

454
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: that's hard to do. Let's face it, there's a couple

455
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: of teams in the mix this year with brand new

456
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: head coaches who might have Mike Vrabel and Frank Reich.

457
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: Those two guys they have a play in game. Vrabel

458
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: has done an outstanding job, particularly on the defensive side

459
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: of the ball in Tennessee, and they're gonna get into

460
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And then the other new head coach, Frank Reich,

461
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: they've got a play in game. He's got a franchise quarterback.

462
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: That helps a lot of new head coaches. And maybe

463
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Darnold turns into Andrew Luck next year already, I don't know.

464
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: The simple fact of the matter is when you change

465
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: head coaches, it's more than just the head coach that changes.

466
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: It's the staff and the whole vibe in the building,

467
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: and that that leaves a lot of question marks up

468
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: in the air. So, M yeah, the Jets have got

469
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: a lot of questions are certainly Murphy and I both

470
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: like Sam Darnold. We think he's good quarterback. They've got

471
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: that going that. Jamal Adams, the safety for the Jets,

472
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: is a great building block on that side of the

473
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: football as well. They've got some things going on in

474
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: New York. But when you make a change like the

475
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: head coach, I don't know that your expectations can go up.

476
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: I agree, and yet twenty one percent of I respond

477
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: and say they have the brightest future. And I understand

478
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: it's about the quarterback, right. I would think that's where

479
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: most of that support comes from. And what brought us

480
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: about is today's Twitter topic, just as an aside, was

481
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: the fact that where the Bills are in their schedule right,

482
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Patriots last week, Dolphins this week, the Jets a couple

483
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. That's why you get thinking, and especially

484
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: when the schedules backloaded with divisional games, you get thinking

485
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: about where the Bills stand. Seven percent of I respond

486
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: it's on the Twitter poll, say the Patriots. We asked

487
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: the question which AFC eas team is the brightest future

488
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: next two to four years? Seven percent of you say

489
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 1: the Patriots. That's not a lot. I think that has

490
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: everything to do with your assessment of Brady. How much longer? Right?

491
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say? I mean, give us a call if

492
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: you voted for the Patriots or any of these teams.

493
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think Brady gonna play next year?

494
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: He says. So, he said he's gonna play beyond twenty nineteen,

495
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: So you're gonna play four more years? Not very likely.

496
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: What does their future look like with Tom Brady gone?

497
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: What does their future look like with Tom Brady the

498
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: way he's playing right now? Those are I think in

499
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: really interesting questions. They are not a team overloaded with

500
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: offensive playmakers, the Patriots. The numbers don't reflect it. But

501
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: we just saw how when they play together and when

502
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: they play smart, they can play pretty good defense against

503
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills at least. But I don't know, is

504
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: their future bright the next two to four years. That's

505
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: a tough case to make, I would think, Steve, Yeah, listen,

506
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: we all know Father time is undefeated, and he never

507
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: stops walking you down. And he's walking Tom Brady down.

508
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us see it. He's walking

509
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: him down pretty steadily. He's not the same quarterback he was.

510
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't look as physically gifted. He can't move as

511
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: well as he did. Now, he's still he's And that's

512
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: the one thing I mean about a quarterback. The more

513
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: experience you get, the better or you play, the more

514
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: lessons you learn, and the more hard lessons you learn,

515
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: and even the difficult things to learn, you get so

516
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: many reps at him, at least you get proficient at those.

517
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: So Tom Brady is not going to get beat mentally,

518
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: but physically this game asks a lot. And you can

519
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: say whatever you want about the softening of the NFL

520
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: and how they protect quarterbacks and how they don't let

521
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: him get hit. It's not just about getting hit. It's

522
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: about shying away from getting hit. It's about not wanting

523
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: to stand in park, not wanting to get go to

524
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: the ground, it's not wanting to risk it. It changes

525
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: the way a guy thinks when he starts to feel

526
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: fragile and feel vulnerable because of his old age. And

527
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: also this when you get to be for me, it

528
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: was when I was thirty five. Tom Brady's way older

529
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: than that now, and it becomes I told you this earlier.

530
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: We're talking about this, Murph. You lose the desire in March, April, May, June,

531
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: July to get up and go out, and it hard

532
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: and train to be good you and plus for me.

533
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Tom Brady deals with this.

534
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: Most guys have to train and prepare to play at

535
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: an older age around injuries they've already sustained earlier in

536
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: their career. First they got a bad knee, okay, so

537
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: they can't do leg extensions, or they can't do this exercise,

538
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: or they can't do this thing. They can't lift heavy

539
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: weights with you know, they had a back injury, or

540
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: they had a shoulder injury. So you have to train

541
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: different exercises around your body, and it gets really tedious

542
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: to do things that it takes. You have to train

543
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: the long way around. You have to train around your injuries,

544
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: around your maladies, and around the aches and pains that

545
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: you get as an older guy, and it drains the

546
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: desire out of you. So you know, sooner or later,

547
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: tom Brady's just going to get sick of doing it now.

548
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: He's a special guy, no question about it. He's already

549
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: lasted way longer than I was able to, and he

550
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: still seems to have a fire competitive spirit and good

551
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: for him. But I'm telling you what, it's gonna hit

552
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: him some point, and maybe it does once a while.

553
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: He didn't go to any of the offseason activities this

554
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: last season. Notably he was He was conspicuous by his

555
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: absence for the first time in his career. Maybe that's

556
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: a sign. I don't know. Seven percent say Patriots. And

557
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: so we get to the Bills act AFC East team

558
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: with the brightest future over the next two to four years.

559
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this is the Buffalo bias

560
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: at work here on the Buffalo Bill Show, but more

561
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: than two thirds of you, sixty eight percent think it's

562
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: the Bills who have the brightest future over the next

563
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: two or four years. And I get that. I'm inclined

564
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: to agree with that. Josh Allen, I think has shown

565
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: just about enough to make me feel pretty good about

566
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: his prospects in the NFL. Sean McDermott, I think has

567
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: demonstrated over two years that he's the good, steady thoughtful

568
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: hand that this team has needed. And I hope he

569
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: has a good long run here. I think he probably will,

570
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: because that's another thing they've needed, not constant turnover. The

571
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: number two defense in the NFL right now, they'll finish

572
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: somewhere high up in defense this season with a lot

573
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: of pieces coming back on the defensive side of the ball.

574
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: They've uncovered some good young pieces on defense at Milano,

575
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson, etc. They are in desperate need of playmakers,

576
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: obviously wide receivers. They've got to find an answer in

577
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: running back, and knowing that Shady McCoy probably won't be

578
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: around four years hence, let alone two years from now.

579
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean there are holes to plug. But

580
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: do the Bills have the brightest future of anybody in

581
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: the AFC? So over the next two to four years,

582
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: two thirds of our respondents on Twitter see yes, And

583
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm in glad to agree with that. Steve, Yeah, I

584
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: kind of do too. I think it's pretty obviously we're

585
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: sitting in the middle of you know, Bill's Country here.

586
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: This is a show called One Bill's Live. So we're

587
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: we're always you know, optimistic and hopeful and and uh,

588
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, supportive of the Buffalo Bills. But I think

589
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: this statistic and this percentage of people that are calling

590
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: in like where the team is at. They can see

591
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: the direction, if not the result, and I think there's

592
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: a lot to be excited about. Certainly, we all know

593
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: where their shortcomings are right now. They cannot score points.

594
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: That's been their achilles heel, and you can't. You're not

595
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: gonna win games in the NFL unless you do. That's

596
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: got to change. I've told you this more of Murphy.

597
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: I think, really what it starts with, if if they

598
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: wanted to change everything overnight, if this offensive line was

599
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: a dominant offensive line, I think the ripple effects would

600
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: be would go a long way towards turning everything around

601
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: for this club. Obviously they got the number two defense already.

602
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: I think an offensive line that was dominant would make

603
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: every bit of difference in the world for this team.

604
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they'd go sixteen to zero. But you

605
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: know they got a young quarterback, rookie quarterback who we

606
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: checked it this morning and games he has started and finished.

607
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: He's four and four this year. I was surprised by that,

608
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: weren't you? I was. I was surprised. I was surprised.

609
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: And I know he started it would be an eleventh

610
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: start coming up, but he's four and four in games

611
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: he started and finished. Remember the Houston game, he didn't finish,

612
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: and he came in in relief. In Baltimore, he came

613
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: and Uh. He played against uh, you know, the Chargers

614
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: in week two and all that, and you know, so

615
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: as it and he beat the Vikings, got beat by

616
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: the Packers, beat the Titans. Uh lost, He didn't finish

617
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans game, and then he got beat by Indianapolis,

618
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: got beat by New England in Chicago, and then didn't

619
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: he didn't play in any of those games. He didn't.

620
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,239
Speaker 1: He didn't four and five, four and five. So if

621
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: he wins this game, he'll get to five hundred in

622
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: the eleven starts that he made. Uh and finished to

623
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: me that I didn't realize the team was that good

624
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: with him at quarterback. Seriously, I mean, you can say, well,

625
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: how good are they fight? But you know what, it's

626
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: better than five and ten, you know, I mean, it's amazing.

627
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: I did not think they were being that they would

628
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: win lose that and often with him at quarterback. And

629
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: I went back and look, I was like, wow, because

630
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: day Ball referred to it in his press conference. I

631
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: that can't be right. They're five and ten, right, And

632
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: sure enough, it's right. They want with Josh when he

633
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: starts and finishes, Yes, you take the hoston Houston game.

634
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: But in games he starts and finishes. They got a

635
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: chance to be five hundred this year. And with that

636
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: stinking pass he should have hit in Miami. I about

637
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, so I go there all the time.

638
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: But I was pretty optimistic about that. I think that's

639
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: what a lot of Bills fans see, you know. I

640
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: think they see a guy who's doing it with a

641
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: little and if you give him some help over there,

642
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: it's going to get better pretty fast. All right. Well,

643
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: take a break. We're back with more One Bill's Live

644
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio. We're back

645
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy Seve

646
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: Tasker on this Thursday afternoon, the Bills getting set for

647
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: the regular season finale Dolphins and Bills one o'clock on Sunday.

648
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Here at New Airfield practice right now for the Bills

649
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: there outside today on the grass practice field outside the

650
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: en Pro Sports Training Center, that's where we find our buddy,

651
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com, on

652
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: the sidelines. Had practice. Good afternoon, Chris, How are you today?

653
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: Doing okay? Outside? Sunny day, so getting the probably what

654
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: might be the last outdoor practice in this season. Yeah, yeah,

655
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: we'll see any noticeable things on the injury front. I

656
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: know the injury report came out yesterday, but still just

657
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: the usual suspects. Yeah. No, Deante tops it out here again,

658
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: still bothered by the toe injury. And I don't see

659
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: Julian Stanford out here at first glance. He's got the

660
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: ankle injury. You know. Ryan Lewis has been participating on

661
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: a limited basis, but he's still in step four of

662
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: that concussion protocol last week checked. We'll see if that

663
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: changes today. If he's a full participant on Thursday's report,

664
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: we'll know that he's out of the concussion protocol and

665
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: good to go and clear. Brownie. Let's ask you a

666
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: little bit about this game being the season finale, and

667
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: as usual this time of year, when you look at

668
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: the end of the season, people start thinking about who's

669
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: coming back, who might be back. I want to ask

670
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: you about a couple of those guys, notable guys, thirty

671
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: five year old linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, who of his three

672
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: years with the Bills, this might have been his best,

673
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: almost as good as his first year here. Look, he's

674
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. He says he wants to

675
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: be back. He's told us that here on the show.

676
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: I think the Bills not only want him back, but

677
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: need him back. But what's your assessment of Lorenzo, who's

678
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: going to need a contract to come back, and his

679
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: chances of returning in twenty nineteen. I think they're pretty good,

680
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: you know. I think he still has proven that he

681
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: can get the job done in a very wide array

682
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: of roles. I mean, he's had to play a multitude

683
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: of roles here these last few weeks since Matt Milano

684
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: went out of the lineup with the broken leg a

685
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. So you know, it's a situation

686
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: where he's not only a guy that can help you

687
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: win one specific area, that being pass rush, you know,

688
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: in pass rush packages, but he can also help you

689
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: in other areas, whether it's a coverage role, a bracket

690
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: coverage kind of thing where he's working with the safety

691
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: or another defensive back, I think, and he still can

692
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: help you on specialty. So I think the different things

693
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: that he can do, you can easily find a role

694
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: for him. And the fact that he's doing it at

695
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: what I would consider a high level for a thirty

696
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: five year old, I think would I'm anticipating that both

697
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: sides are gonna want to have him back in the fold,

698
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, come twenty nineteen, and you know what, and

699
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: you can't underestimate this with Sean McDermott, Lorenzo status as

700
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: a leader, as a captain and a leader on this team,

701
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: I think goes a long way in helping the Bills.

702
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: You know, desire to have him back next year, don't you.

703
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I mean, he has been

704
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: immeasurable in his help for Tremaine Edmonds, just being in

705
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: that linebacker's room with him talking to some of the

706
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: other players in the locker room, they say Tremaine is

707
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: tied to Lorenzo at the hip and is always asking

708
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: him questions. Those questions have changed as the season has

709
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: gone on, and Tremaine has gotten a better handle of

710
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: the defense and the reads from the inside. Knowing he

711
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,479
Speaker 1: had never played middle linebacker, before coming to the Bills

712
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: this year. But he has been a confidant for Tremade

713
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: Edmonds in a big way this year. So you know,

714
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: that's just one example of the way he helps the

715
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: younger players on this roster. What do you remember this

716
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: about last offseason? In the conversation about Kyle Williams and

717
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: him coming back, it seems to me like it wasn't

718
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: a done deal even last year, and it seems with

719
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: a passage of time, maybe it's even less likely that

720
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: Kyle returns next year, and maybe this is his last

721
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: outdoor practice as a Buffalo Bill. Yeah, I mean that

722
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: one's probably a little bit more up in the air.

723
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: I know it took some thinking on Kyle's part. Wanted

724
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: to get away from football and just kind of mull

725
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: things over, you know, down in his home in Louisiana

726
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: for a little while, before ultimately, you know, coming to

727
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: the conclusion that, yeah, I want to sign up for

728
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: another year again. From a leadership perspective, you'd believe the

729
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: Bills would want him back. Also, I would say from

730
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: a performance perspective, I think he's still performing at a

731
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: level where they feel he could still help them, even

732
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: if it is in a reduced role, maybe a pass

733
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: rush package role, something of that nature, and then there's

734
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: always the money. But I think there has to be

735
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: a willingness on Kyle's part to strap it up for

736
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 1: what would be a fourteenth fourteenth, I think fourteenth season. Well,

737
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Miami Dolphins. This is a game

738
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: that kind of got away from the Buffalo Bills last time.

739
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: The Dolphins were really good in situational football on the

740
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: red zone and all of that, and the Bills have

741
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: you know, continued to struggle points, but they still had

742
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: the last play that got away from him. The Bills

743
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: have to feel like this was their best offensive performance

744
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: of the Josh Allen era thus far, the first meeting

745
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins, and they got to feel good about

746
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: going here at home being able to match that of

747
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: that game of over four hundred yards of offense. Yeah,

748
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: from a total net yards perspective, yeah, it was a

749
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: good day. You know, from a point production perspective, you

750
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: you obviously think of Minnesota, but they were handing a

751
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: lot of short fields in that game back in Week three,

752
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: which is a big reason why they were able to

753
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: put twenty seven on the board. With some early takeaways.

754
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: But you know, Josh put the offense on his back

755
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: in that game. Got some help from Zay Jones obviously,

756
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: who had two touchdown catches in that game, but the

757
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: run game was absent, so he had to be in

758
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: the run game and rolled up one hundred and thirty

759
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: five yards on the ground, which is his single game

760
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: high this season. You know, he's got a chance to

761
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: have the all time single season rushing mark for a

762
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: quarterback in team history. He just needs forty five yards

763
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: this week to pass Tyrod Taylor's five hundred eighty yard

764
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: rushing season in twenty sixteen. I believe it was. So

765
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: there's a measure there, not that he's necessarily looking for that.

766
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: He's always maintained he's a he's a guy who's only

767
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: caring about the w stat meaning wins, But yeah, you

768
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: want to. You know, Brian Dabele, who just had a

769
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: press conference earlier today, had an interesting comment. He said,

770
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: this is another unique opportunity for Josh because it's a

771
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: it's a chance for him to face the same opponent

772
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: for the second time in the season. He didn't face

773
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: the Jets in their first matchup. He didn't face the

774
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: Patriots in their first matchup. So this is the first

775
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: time he's facing the same opponent twice in the same season,

776
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: and he feels there's a lot to be gained from

777
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: that in terms of playing off counter moves, counter strategies.

778
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: You know that the Dolphins will employ defensively to try

779
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: to correct some of the problems they didn't have answers for,

780
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: namely Josh with his legs, buying time, you know, things

781
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: of that nature. So he feels there's a lot to

782
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: be gained in this game for Josh. Yeah, I'm thinking

783
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: of the same comment from Brian Dable that you just

784
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: reference here, Chris, and I was. I was let to

785
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: hear him say that. You know, you kind of struggle

786
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: sometimes to think, what is this game mean? What's the

787
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: importance here? The importance is johns Allen will start another

788
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: NFL game, And Dabo said, this, get another chance to

789
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 1: work with that group of receivers, another chance to handle

790
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: plays being sent in, another chance to call whatever, you know,

791
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: audibles they allow him to call. This is another chance

792
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: for him and then an important one too. It is important,

793
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: you know, and it's a chance for him, I believe

794
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: in terms of games he started and finished if he

795
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: comes out with a win, he'll have a five hundred records.

796
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: So there's something to be said for that in a

797
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: season that right now is at five and ten. You know,

798
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: they got twice as many loss as as wins. If

799
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen in the lineup, you can go five hundred,

800
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: you hope if he can stay healthy next year, they're

801
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: closer to that or even better with another year of experience. Yeah,

802
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: nothing to look at, Brownie. Thank you, We appreciate Brownie.

803
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: You got it. Chris Brown builds inside or Buffalo Bills

804
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: dot Com on the sidelines. At Bill's practice today, Let's

805
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: let you hear what Brian Dable said. He had a

806
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: news conference just before practice started about eleven thirty this morning,

807
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: and he talked about how he has seen steady improvement

808
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: from Bill's quarterback John Shallen and how this is You

809
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: might think, what's his game meaning well to day Ball

810
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: and the Bills, it means another chance to see johns improved.

811
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: Here's what Dayball had to say today. Every experience he

812
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: has gotten this year has been valuable for Josh and

813
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: this one's going to be too. You know, he's playing

814
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins for the second time. Which is the first

815
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: time he's been able to do that. He has an

816
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: opportunity to, you know, win another football game, which would

817
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, put his record when he starts to when

818
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: he finishes a game at five hundred. You know, his

819
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: relationship with the offensive line and the calls and the

820
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: things he has to do, the relationship with the receivers.

821
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, with some of these new guys that we've

822
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: just had with the passing game as a result of

823
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: repetition and trust regardless of where I've ever been, and

824
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: you can input new guys and insert new guys, but

825
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, you might only throw He might throw one

826
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: route over there to Isaiah that he's maybe thrown six

827
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: times in the last you know, however many weeks um.

828
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: You know, some guys that have obviously played together and

829
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: been a while together, maybe that's one hundred times. But

830
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: the trust factor, the body language, the detail that goes

831
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: into the passing game, those have been really valuable things.

832
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: And he's gonna have to continue to do that in

833
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: the in the offseason. It's Brian David will the offensive coordinate.

834
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: I think that's important, Steven. You know, when we strive

835
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: to find meaning for this game, there's no there's no

836
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: problem coaching and staff has no problem finding meaning, especially

837
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to Josh Allen and what he might

838
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,479
Speaker 1: gain from this game. Absolutely, it's just one more set

839
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: of lessons that he's going to have to go through

840
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: to get better. It's going to teach him a lot,

841
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: and I think certainly it's going to give him more

842
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: reps of looking at INFL defenses and getting an idea

843
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: of what it takes to win. But it's also getting

844
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: a chance to watch himself play against it and teaching

845
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: him self lessons about what he needs to do and

846
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: give him some motivation about some self analysis, you know,

847
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: some self scout about what he does need to get

848
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: better and how he's progressing, and also about how his

849
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 1: preps going. Maybe he'll learn something more when they get

850
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: at the year end meetings. I'll say, you know what,

851
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: I think I need more of this. In the week

852
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: leading up to every game, I think less of this

853
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: and more of this, All of that goes into the

854
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: pot and gets mixed up, and he's got a long

855
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: offseason to think about it, and you know that he's

856
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: going to put in a lot of hard work. I mean,

857
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: it's certainly that We've talked about this. It's a long

858
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: season and these guys do need to get away for

859
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: a minute. But you can bet too that they're going

860
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: to jump in with both feet pretty quickly after this evening.

861
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: We want to hear from you about this game and

00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive.

871
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: The Bills outdoors practicing today. I'm told us about thirty

872
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: seven degrees and a lot of sunshine and that's good. Balmy, yeah,

873
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: Balmy for Archer Park in late December. So what do

874
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: you think Who's got the brightest future in the AFC East? Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Patriots.

875
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: Gill on the line from Ohio, what do you think,

876
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: Gil hey Um, Obviously being a Bill stand. I think

877
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: the Bills are bright future based on what I've seen,

878
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: but we have an advantage over the Jets were pretty

879
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: close to the Bills as far as a bright future.

880
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: With Darnold, we got the coach. The Chests don't have

881
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: the coach. And that's the one that's the one leg

882
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: up that we have Donald Face that Donald's gonna be

883
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: a pain in our button for the for the next

884
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: few years. Yep, We're gonna build around him. But with

885
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: a Bill build around Josh Allen, it's gonna be like

886
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: the old Kelly Marino days. It's good. They're gonna be

887
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: going back and forth, and I think that's gonna be

888
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: a huge bright future for the Bills. Definitely, very good call, Gil.

889
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: I'm inclined to agree with everything you said there. And

890
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't mind. I don't mind that

891
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: as long as it's a as long as you know

892
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: you can win your share, you don't want to Tom

893
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: Brady and whoever was playing, you know, it's been playing

894
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: for the Bills for the past seventeen years. Whichever guy

895
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: you take your pick, that's been a lopsided rivalry. You

896
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: don't you know, you like those you know where you

897
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: can you win your share and you lose to a

898
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: good opponent that you love, that you know, but you

899
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of still hate. Yeah, I mean,

900
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: have a division rival that's decent and you think, well,

901
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: we gotta stop this guy and you know him. That's

902
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: what I think. What that's what the beauty of the

903
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: divisional matchups are in the NFL. You know these guys. Yeah,

904
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: you go to the stadium knowing you're gonna root against him,

905
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: and that's there's something to be said for that. From

906
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: the tweet sheets, same question the Bills as they move

907
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: forward and the rest of the afcast, Who's got who's

908
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: got the brightest future in the next two to four years.

909
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: Brian Greer with a good one. He says, I tried

910
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: to think objectively and consider everyone, but I still ended

911
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 1: up choosing the Bills. Our defense is one pass rusher

912
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: from being elite. Josh already did it a lot was

913
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: so little. I imagine in a few years they will

914
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: address that issue. The future is bright. Indeed, Brian Grier

915
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: sounds like you when you talk about Josh doing a

916
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: lot with a little five. He's playing five hundred ball. Well,

917
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,479
Speaker 1: if he wins this week. He's playing five hundred ball

918
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: with an offense that hasn't been built yet, right, and

919
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,959
Speaker 1: that's pretty good with a number two defense in the league,

920
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: even if the you know, defense drops down in the

921
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: top ten. With a running game and another year of experience,

922
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: even with these receivers and the speed that they've got,

923
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're gonna win more games, you know that.

924
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: I just think with the need more receivers, yeah, I mean,

925
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: I still, you know, I'm with him. I agree. I

926
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: think he's done so much with so little help on

927
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: his side of the ball. It's really out. I'm really

928
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: optimistic about where it could be. A tweet from Wandering

929
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: Jack call me a homer, he says. But the Bills

930
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: have a good staff building toward a goal. They have

931
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: an athletic but raw franchise quarterback prospect, and cap space

932
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: to improve the team. Ownership is on board. I'd say

933
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: the Jets, with darn all their second fins are lost

934
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: in the weeds, and Patriots have to downtrend eventually. Everybody

935
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: kind of is that's the given right the Patriots two

936
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: to four years is no way they can keep this going.

937
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: And you and listen this season for the Patriots, as

938
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: good as it has been, is not as good as

939
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: it has been. So I saw Tom Brady earlier in

940
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: the season, and Bills fans have seen him lately. He

941
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: ain't the same guy. He's still pretty good. He's still

942
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: got a good coaching staff, they got a plan around him,

943
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: they work it. But he is not He is not

944
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: the same guy he was just a handful of years ago.

945
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 1: And it's like I keep saying, man, he's father Time's

946
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: undefeated and it's catching up to him. So we'll see though.

947
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I still expect them to be the team

948
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: to beat next year, coming into next season with a

949
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: forty one year old quarterback. But nevertheless, the future I

950
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: think is getting cloudier and cloudier for the Patriots. What

951
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: do you think Who's got the brightest future the next

952
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: two to four years in the AFC East. We will

953
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: continue this discussion in the second hour of the show.

954
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: We'll bring in a new guy to talk about it too,

955
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: Joe Rose Color, analysts on the Miami Dolphins Radio network,

956
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: longtime Miami Dolphins tight end. He's gonna join us next hour.

957
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: We'll throw this question to him. See what he thinks.

958
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: Is that unfair? No? That's fair enough. He'll be ready

959
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: for He'll be ready to Joe's ready, all right, Come

960
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: on back, getting ready for hour two. One Bills Live

961
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive presented by Callida Health and this

962
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radiolo Hills Radio Network Stories update. The

963
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: update from One Bills Drive. The Bills outdoors as we speak,

964
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: practicing in the fresh air they get set for the

965
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins on Sunday. It does not look like linebacker

966
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: Julian Stanford is participating today. He did not practice yesterday

967
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: either with an ankle injury. Also, wide receiver Deonte Thompson

968
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: looks like he's not ready to go today either. We'll

969
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: get the complete injury report following practice today, should be

970
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: at least about an hour hour and a half away

971
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: by the time practice wraps up. For the Miami Dolphins,

972
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: their injury list is significant in that wide receiver Denny

973
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: Ammondola did not practice yesterday with a knee injury. Their

974
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 1: full injury report comes out later today as well. Dolphins

975
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: quarterback Ryan Tannehill might be playing his final game for

976
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: Miami this coming Sunday here in Orchard Park after missing

977
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. His future appears to be hanging in the balance.

978
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: Tannehill says the future is not on his mind. He says,

979
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to waste time thinking about it. Eighth

980
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 1: overall pick in the twenty and twelve draft by the Dolphins.

981
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: Seven seasons in Miami, a four eighty three win percentage

982
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: as a starter. He's never won more than eight games

983
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: in a single season. Injuries the story with Tannehill the

984
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: last several seasons. He's missed twenty four of their last

985
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: forty seven games due to Pittsburgh Steeler is healthier at

986
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: the running back spot. Getting set for their big game

987
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati Sunday. Running Back James Conner a full practice

988
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: yesterday after missing the last three games, looks like he

989
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: should be ready to go. Ezekiel Elliott says he's gonna

990
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: play in a meaningless game for the Dallas Cowboys as

991
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 1: they take on the New York Giants. Running back says

992
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offensive starters need to play this final week

993
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: to build momentum. Added to the playoffs, Teddy Bridgewater might

994
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: get a chance for more snaps extended minutes for the

995
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints as they finish up their season with

996
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: a meaningless regular season finale against the Carolina Fanthers. Drew

997
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: Brees says he expects Bridgewater to play significant snaps on Sunday,

998
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers interviewed a couple of head coaching candidates

999
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: this week. They interviewed former Lions coach Jim Calledwell on Wednesday,

1000
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: and the team also recently interviewed Chuck Pagano. Ub quarterback

1001
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson has entered into the transfer portal. The ub

1002
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: Bulls believe that he may move on after he looks

1003
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: at what's out there. And the Savers play Tonight. Sabers

1004

1016
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: do you mind and participating in our little Twitter poll

1017
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: we have on the air. It deals with the AFC East. Okay,

1018
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: don't want to put you on the spot, but you

1019
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: don't think about this a little bit. Our Twitter poll

1020
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: is which AFC East team has the brightest future moving

1021
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: forward next two to four years. Now, as you might imagine,

1022
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: the folks in Buffalo say, it's the Bills. But what

1023
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: do you think We get the sense here in the

1024
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: Bills have spent a lot of time playing a FC

1025
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: East team's last couple of weeks as half the Dolphins,

1026
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: there's kind of a sentiment that things may be changing soon.

1027
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: So which of the four has the brightest future next

1028
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,959
Speaker 1: two to four What do you think two to four

1029
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: years too long? Wow? I'll go Bills. Really the Bills?

1030
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: Tell me why, Joe? I love your defense. I got

1031
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: nothing but respect to that defense. When your offense is

1032
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 1: struggling and your defense is playing the way they play.

1033
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: I just did this this morning talking about it. Look

1034
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: at the same thing going on in Jacksonville, and those

1035
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: guys have been whining and crying about their offense, and

1036
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 1: they let it affect them. The Bills go out and play,

1037
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: and here they are weeks where they struggle to score.

1038
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: They got a brand new quarterback that they understand, and

1039
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 1: they play unless I'm missing something, Murph. You see it

1040
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: up close every week they play, and they just they

1041
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: play like they're in every game, and it's like a

1042
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: one score game late in the fourth every time they play.

1043
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: I like that, and I also happen to be and

1044
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people you know we talked,

1045
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 1: aren't completely sold on your rook key quarterback. Man, he's

1046
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: got something. I like it. I hate when people bring up,

1047
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: by the way, if I hear one more dummy bring

1048
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: up that he's from a small town with with with

1049
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: a lot of crops and from a little farm town,

1050
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, we gotta do better than that.

1051
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, players in the NFL come from everywhere. But

1052
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: I think he's got a little something to him. I'm

1053
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: really looking forward to seeing how much heat grows over

1054
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: the next couple of years. Yeah, And I think one

1055
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: of the things about it, it's easy to point to

1056
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: the build or any team you want, but the fact

1057
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: that the Jets are going to probably get a new

1058
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: head coach at the end of the season, and then

1059
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: we look down at you guys when you're you're coming

1060
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: up this weekend to Buffalo, and what's the I mean,

1061
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: what are the ramfact? I mean, what's the ripple effect

1062
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: of this? You know, the change they may be making

1063
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: it the vice president of football operations, you've got a

1064
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: GM you got I mean, how does that translate onto

1065
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: the field? Is that? What kind of signal does that

1066
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: send to your organization? What are they doing there? And

1067
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: what are the effect? What are the effect they looking for? Well?

1068
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: How bad will Stephen Ross blow things up in a week?

1069
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: That's kind of where we start. This is in for

1070
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: a real awkward trip with reports already coming out that

1071
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: Mike Tannembamb's gone. Then it makes you wonder why does

1072
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: GM make it? Does the head coach make it? How

1073
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: many of the coaches on the staff make it? Is

1074
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: Matt Burke the defensive coordinator in trouble? You wonder all

1075
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: that stuff. And I don't think a lot of those

1076
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be traveling this week because they have

1077
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: the Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium, Oklahoma and Alabama,

1078
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: so where it is a lot of those guys gonna

1079
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: be standing back for that game, which kind of leads

1080
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: you out there. I just think the whole thing's gonna

1081
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: be really awkward. I'm curious, guys. I brought this up

1082
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: this morning too, Like I want to see how many

1083
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: guys get the green light from the doctor you're fine

1084
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 1: to play and go, okay, I'm gonna play, And how

1085
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: many go nah, now you know what, I'm a little

1086
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: nicked up. Go ahead and let let the other guys play.

1087
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: And then the effort. Now you're not playing for anything.

1088
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: You're officially out of it. Do you go up? Because

1089
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 1: you know the Bills are gonna bring whatever they have

1090
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: unless I'm missing this team missing something on this team,

1091
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna play really hard and they are gonna try

1092
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: to beat the you know what out of the Miami Dolphins,

1093
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: Like they have a lot in December, so there's there's

1094
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: a lot. And I know Adam Gates is playing to win, man.

1095
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: He wants guys that are gonna up there and and

1096
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: try to find a way in a game plan to

1097
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: win this game. But boy, we got a great roster too.

1098
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be bouncing around. I'm really frustrated

1099
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: with this team. And that's being nice. It's not a

1100
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 1: very good roster, I'll be nice. It's a very average roster.

1101
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't have a lot of great players on it.

1102
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:59,439
Speaker 1: It doesn't have a lot of guys playing well. We've

1103
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: now in three of the last four games, starting with

1104
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,959
Speaker 1: you guys with the Buffalo Bills that held us under

1105
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: two hundred yards of offense in three or four games.

1106
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: And this league, and I know you guys know about

1107
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: the same stuff on offense. It's just really frustrating to see.

1108
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 1: And how does Adam Gates go and talk to Matt

1109
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: Burke and go, hey, we got to pick this thing up.

1110
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: And Matt Burke, hey, hey, wait a second, Adam, how's

1111
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: your offense? And we're both thirtieth in the league. How's

1112
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: that working? So I'm just kind of bouncing around on

1113
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: you guys with frustration this morning. Sorry, And I get it.

1114
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 1: It comes out for me and I and you know me.

1115
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: We've we've touched base a couple of times this season.

1116
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: My crews had you with CBS bouncing around. We had

1117
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: you in New England, we had you in Cincinnati, and

1118
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay as well. So I still I like the

1119
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: vibe that comes off of Adam Gaz. He's a young guy,

1120
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: seems to connect with his players. There hasn't been we

1121
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: haven't heard it up here about him being in any trouble.

1122
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: But you're right, if if they're going to start making changes,

1123
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: you never know how far it's gonna reach. What's the

1124
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: what's the vibe of the team maybe coming into this

1125
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: last game. I know you're frustrated with the way they played,

1126
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: and you have you you're suspicious of their effort. You

1127
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: know what, what is the Miami fan base? What do

1128
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: you guys think who cover this team so closely think

1129
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: about coming to Buffalo this weekend? Well, it's it's not

1130
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: a good matchup a warm weather team coming up to Buffalo. Yeah,

1131
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: it's not warm, Joe. It's it's fully winter here. Anything.

1132
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 1: It's fully winter here, Joe. It's a full winter right here. Now,

1133
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: believe me. Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot before

1134
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: I leave Saturday. Yeah, so there there is there's a feeling.

1135
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: First of all, I do believe the guys play hard.

1136
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: For Adam Gays, He's kept drama out of the locker

1137
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: room you're seeing a lot of the other teams. Um,

1138
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: he's a great communicator, he just doesn't have the fifty

1139
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 1: three man roster. Now they're starting to this up over

1140
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,720
Speaker 1: at training camp right now. Well, we got thirteen guys

1141
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: on IR or twelve if basically counter practice squad guy.

1142
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: You know, the whole league's banged up. I mean, there's

1143
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: no I don't know what your numbers are, but you

1144
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: know everybody's banged up at some position. And you know,

1145
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,959
Speaker 1: we decided to give up on one guy, and which

1146
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: I disagreed with personally unless he was just a complete

1147
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: crap bomb up there. So Jordan Phillis, I don't know

1148
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: how he's playing for you guys. He played against us.

1149
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: He was like a madman. He was out of control man.

1150
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean he was you know, great effort, made some

1151
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: really good plays, took a dumb penalty with it, but

1152
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, you like that passion. We didn't really have

1153
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: anybody to back him up. So you know, the numbers

1154
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: were bad, and they got worse on the run defense.

1155
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: So that's fine if you want to make a point,

1156
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: but boy, you better make sure you got something else

1157
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: to patch in there. That's better to me or you

1158
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 1: just hurt your football team, but especially because he was mad,

1159
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: he just wanted to play more. Yeah, that's what it

1160
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 1: was about. So we're with Joe Rose, Dolphins radio color analysts,

1161
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: a long time Miami Dolphins tight end. I gotta Adham

1162
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: Gays question for you, Joe. Yeah, And I saw it

1163
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: come up somewhere online overnight about and this. It is

1164
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous, but Gas was getting a second guest

1165
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: about sitting down and a shot at him sitting down

1166
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: during the game the other day last week while the

1167
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: defense was on the field, and people went, while are

1168
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: you doing that? But I thought, well, that's ridiculous. But

1169
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: it does kind of follow into kind of observations I've

1170
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: made from Afar that Gays seems totally involved and immersed

1171
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: in his offense and maybe disconnected to the rest of

1172
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: the thing to being the head coach. What do you think,

1173
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: am I wrong? Well? I know during the week he

1174
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: does meet with them, He goes over waste that he

1175
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: would attack the team. He kind of self scouts them

1176
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: like what he sees and some things they need to

1177
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: work on and how he would attack them. And he

1178
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: does meet with them more than he did the year before.

1179
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: To go over some things. But yeah, listen, he is

1180
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: totally zeroed in on his offense. And you know it's

1181
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: one thing I knew this gonna happen. They've been catching

1182
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: at CBS, has been catching this shot, and Jacksonville is

1183
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: going down the field and they're going, all right, let's

1184
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: look at the face of the head coach standing up.

1185
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's on the bench. He's got his head down.

1186
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: He's looking at some place for his offense. Oh, it's

1187
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: a bad look for a head coach. He's supposed to

1188
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: be the head coach for the whole team. You know,

1189
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't become an issue if you've won ten or

1190
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: eleven games and you go in the playoffs. I call

1191
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: it dog piling a little bit. You know in Detroit

1192
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, Matt Patricia is late for meeting. Well,

1193
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean that never gets brought up. If you know,

1194
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: he's got eleven wins right now and he's the Chicago Bears.

1195
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: I just think these are all things people are looking at,

1196
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: and they bring up more things every day, you know,

1197
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: about things and and this is and how this roster

1198
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: was put together and who's to blame? And yeah, yeah,

1199
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: so all that's as you know, I mean we've all

1200
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: been through that. Yeah, we've really been through that. Yeah,

1201
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: probably the Jets too. That, Like, you know, how do

1202
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: we get it? I call it, you know, dog piling

1203
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: on with the situation with everything. So, yeah, the head

1204
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: coach is under a lot of heat, the general managers

1205
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: under heat, and the guy's taken most of her right now.

1206
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: Is is Mike Tannenbaum, who's had final say on a

1207
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of things in the organization over the last four years.

1208
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: What I want to ask you about your starting quarterback,

1209
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, who's back in the saddle. He's uh, you know,

1210
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: he's been in and out of the line. He's missed

1211
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: a lot of games over the last couple of years,

1212
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: and that seems to be dog in him right now.

1213
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: Like you say, because the team's not doing so well,

1214
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: everybody kind of gets thrown under the bus a little bit.

1215
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Ryan Tannehill his future with

1216
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and where he sits right now? I'd say, yeah,

1217
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he made it clear yesterday he wants to stay.

1218
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: But we got upgrade the position. I mean, we got upgraded.

1219
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: We got to do what the Jets did and the

1220
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills did last year. We missed a golden opportunity.

1221
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: We'll never know which of those guys outside of Baker

1222
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: Mayfield who was gone and we had to give up everything.

1223
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: There's no way we're going to move to one. But

1224
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: there was a chance to get that third and fourth

1225
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: quarterback if if we wanted. I don't know if we'll

1226
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: ever know how they felt about every one of those guys.

1227
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: I know there were some guys that really liked your

1228
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: guy a lot, and we didn't do it, and so

1229
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: now we got to wait in a class. You know

1230
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: that most people think and I'm not playing mel kiper

1231
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: junior junior in Buffalo today, but there's a lot of

1232
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: people don't think this quarterback class coming out is as good,

1233
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: nearly as good as the one that's that we just

1234
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: had so right, and it's it's not as it's certainly

1235
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: not as deep. I mean, you don't have five guys

1236
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: being talked about his first round talent, but certainly it's

1237
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: there's always the free agent line that you can go

1238
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: in if if you're Miami, what are the thoughts on

1239
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: a guy like Listen, Teddy Bridgewater is going to start

1240
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: for the Saints. He's gonna be available. Nick Foles is

1241
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: going to be available. It looks like there's gonna be

1242
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 1: a lot of guys out there, which Richard's really in

1243
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, I've never seen so many

1244
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks with with that kind of upside becoming available, like

1245
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, like Alex Smith, all these guys that moved

1246
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,919
Speaker 1: around this last year. I think it was and case

1247
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: Keenam who had the great season. It's been a lot

1248
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 1: of guys with upsides moving around, and Dolphins could be

1249
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: the recipient of one of those, I would agree. I

1250
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: know Teddy Ridgewater, of course is from Miami and went

1251
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: to Northwestern High School. So that's a guy that I

1252
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: know a lot of people call on Teddy and if

1253
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: he's healthy, and you know, we got to get this guy,

1254
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: and especially now he's been in the same system, he's

1255
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: seeing it, he's got himself healthy, that will be those

1256
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: are being question. Those would be two names that the

1257
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins look at. I do think they're still gonna make

1258
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: sure they've got something better before they just throw Ryan

1259
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: Cannehill away. But his cap number is Pro Bowl Quarterback,

1260
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl like for next year, and so that's got

1261
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: to come into play and at some point, you know,

1262
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: we got to get our right quarterback. And to me,

1263
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: nice guy, but it's got to be upgraded. It just does.

1264
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been seven years, Murph, I heard you,

1265
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: given the numbers and stuff and throwing the injury bug

1266
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: and how many games he's missed the last three years.

1267
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: It's just it's just too much. And we've seen it.

1268
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's all his fault. You know, the

1269
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: offensive line never seems to be completely fixed and always injured.

1270
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: But you know a lot of it is he's got

1271
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: to make guys better and he hasn't been able to

1272
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: do it. And so those are all the conversations. I

1273
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: just think we've got so much work. We got an

1274
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: old defensive in line of guys that haven't achieved with

1275
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 1: the amount of sacks and pressures we thought they get

1276
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: this year. That the numbers haven't been good there the

1277
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: offensive line, you go out and get veteran guys and

1278
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: they get injured in the first or second game or

1279
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: third game, like your center and your guard. That makes

1280
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: it hard. So we have been able to draft guards

1281
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: and get it right incredibly for years we have not

1282
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 1: been able to go for Everybody tells me, ah, guards

1283
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: are easy to find, you move a tackle to guard. Well,

1284
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: we haven't been able to do it. And if you have,

1285
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: God bless your man, because we just can't get the

1286
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: damn thing right, right, hey, Joe. On the upside, it

1287
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: looks like the defensive secondary is it's pretty solid with

1288
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: the you know, and Minka Fitzpatrick, your first rounder really

1289
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: doesn't even start. But Xavian Howard's had a solid year,

1290
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: Rashad Jones is good. It would that be the strength

1291
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins, you think, at least on the defensive side.

1292
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: I would say, I like our running back group and

1293
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: I like our and darre I agree Minka Fitzpatrick, by

1294
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 1: the way, I think he has just been you know,

1295
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: x Xavian Howard gets hurt the whole all the corners

1296
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: have been injured, and he lines up and when Xavian

1297
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: Howard's out, he's now clearly our second best outside cover

1298
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: corner we have on the roster outside of Xavian Howard,

1299
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: who's played really well, but he's missed the last three games,

1300
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know what's the chance he's

1301
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna play this week When he's got, you know, big

1302
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: contract coming up Pro Bowl. You know, I don't know,

1303
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna try to play up

1304
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: there or not. But yeah, Minka Fitzpatrick has just been

1305
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: I had nothing but respect. He plays nickel, he plays dime,

1306
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: he plays corner on the outside every down, and he

1307
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: plays safety like he had to last week when t J.

1308
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: McDonald was out. But yeah, I think our safeties have

1309
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: been really solid. Murph. Okay, yeah, that's and that's kind

1310
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: of what it looked like to me when I when

1311
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 1: I've covered you this year. Your defensive backfield looks pretty

1312
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: athletic and pretty pretty aware back there, and they seem to.

1313
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought they started out in their game

1314
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: early in the season against New England and they were

1315
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: actually carrying the team kept him in it for the

1316
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: time being until they got out of hand. But I'm

1317
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: totally with you, and I also get you about Ryan Tannehill.

1318
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: The cap number changes things. It's exactly the same situation

1319
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills were in last year with Tyrod Taylor.

1320
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: You don't know if he's quite that good, but it's

1321
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: kind of you're gonna have to you have to drop

1322
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars on eighteen million, and you just don't

1323
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be worth it in the long run.

1324
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: So you really got to feel like, as even if Tannehill,

1325
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: you don't have anybody as good as Tannehill to replace

1326
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: him with, that money could help your team being spent

1327
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: someplace else. And that's a big issue that that's exactly

1328
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: what happens is in the NFL today. And we've we've

1329
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: had a bunch of guys where you go, Wow, he's

1330
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: now making and Dommy can sue another one like, Wow,

1331
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 1: he's good, But is he's that good? No, we gotta

1332
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: let him go. And I think Ryan tanne was going

1333
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: to fall into the same thing of going, man, that's

1334
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: a big cap number, that's a good that's a big

1335
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: base salary for him do to do. We just need

1336
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: to move on here and he'll play. Listen, there's no

1337
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: question he'll play in the league, and he'll have his moments.

1338
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: We just haven't seen consistency, either from being injured or

1339
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: just hasn't played well enough, whether it's holding on to

1340
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: the ball or missing a few throws. I mean, I

1341
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: get it, he's athletic and all that stuff, but you know,

1342
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: it's been seven years. Man, he's all of a sudden,

1343
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: We're talking about a thirty year old quarterback, not a

1344
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: not a twenty four, twenty five year old guy. Hey, Joe,

1345
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: you sounded discourage early, and before we let you go,

1346
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: we want to replay for you and get your thoughts

1347
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 1: on what has to be the highlight of the season

1348
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins this year, the miracle just three weeks ago.

1349
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: Listen to this. This is what it sounded like with

1350
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Joe Rose and Jimmy Cephalo and Bob Greasy just three

1351
01:06:53,760 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Daniel last shot back the girl they throwed out.

1352
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: They try to pitch it like they do the Parker,

1353
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: Barker pitches it and it's put it stick. He's gotta tacklieb. I.

1354
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: I just saw that, Joe. That was uh. I felt

1355
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: for ye all three you guys and Holland in the

1356
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: in the uh, in the booth. That had to be.

1357
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: You never think those plays are gonna work, And you

1358
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: could tell when the play started you didn't think it

1359
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: was gonna work. You know, every week, right, somebody almost

1360
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: every week, somebody late in the game scores and you know,

1361
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: and they need a wild play to do it. So

1362
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: we go through that whole thing, either on a kickoff

1363
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: return where you're doing last rolls, or you got one

1364
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: play left and it's too far to throw the seventy

1365
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: five yard or in the end zone, so you try

1366
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: that and everybody kind of laterals while they're playing grab

1367
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: ass and the ball ends up bouncing off somebody's hands

1368
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: and the other team picks it up or falls on

1369
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: it or guys. And we actually everything on that was

1370
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 1: absolutely perfect, from Tannehill to Kenny Steals getting tackled just

1371
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 1: as he catches it and flips the ball, so everybody

1372
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: was in position, and then of course our best offensive

1373
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 1: player got the ball last, and Kenyan Drake, who's you know,

1374
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: got nine touchdowns and it's really fast, and he made

1375
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: one move, he got a couple of blocks, got a

1376
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 1: great effort from Ted Larson actually ran down the field

1377
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: to get in position to get a block. And then

1378
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: there's Ronkowski in the middle of the field running up

1379
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 1: like a plow horse as the race track many it

1380
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: was and you could see it and it's coming right

1381
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: at right at us, coming right at the booths up there. Man,

1382
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: it's coming right at us, and it was just u Yeah,

1383
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: when Gronk stumbled, you knew, you knew it was over.

1384
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: Even I an eagle on the CBS coverage, he saw

1385
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Gronkowski took a bad angle and then it was over. Um,

1386
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: really it was even for for a guy like me

1387
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: who was a Bills guy. That was a fun play

1388
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: to watch because you practice those during the week. It's

1389
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: hard to concentrate because they right, you know, it's not

1390
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: gonna you know, uh, And it's a tough play to defend,

1391
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: although you really all you have dudes kind of stand

1392
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 1: around and make sure they don't get around you. And

1393
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Gronkowski couldn't get it done. But that was a lot

1394
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: of fun, a lot of fun to watch, and a

1395
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: great team to beat too. Hey, but before I gotta

1396
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,799
Speaker 1: tell you the funny part of this, so so Kenyan

1397
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: Drake throws it, you know, about fifty yards high on

1398
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 1: the adrenaline just lets you rip up in the end

1399
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: zone and and right after he throws it must have

1400
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: sunk in about this play maybe one of the greatest

1401
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: plays in the history of this franchise which has been

1402
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: around for a while. And so I could his guys

1403
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: are going you realize that ball man a great play

1404
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: that ball's got a little value to it. Man. So

1405
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: now he's putting out, hey, you know, I'm willing to

1406
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: give you a uniform, jersey, signed, a helmet, shoes. You know,

1407
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: I'll throw in tickets, footballs, and so the story got

1408
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 1: pretty good. So because it was doing the Patriots, we

1409
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: had a ton of Patriot fans that are at our stadium.

1410
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 1: So a Patriots fan in a Patriots jersey makes the catch,

1411
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 1: jumps up and catches it, and a guy next to

1412
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: him goes, hey, man, i'd really like to the ball.

1413
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: Give you a five one hundred dollar bills. I'll give

1414
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: you five hundred bucks. And the guy goes, I don't

1415
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: want to damn ball. I was just gonna be a souvenir.

1416
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: It probably gonna throw around. You take it, you know,

1417
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: not really kicking in on what just happened, except this

1418
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 1: team law. Right. So now this guy takes it to

1419
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: New York, and you know he's gonna auction the damn

1420
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 1: thing often. I guess as of today it's up to

1421
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: just did it ten thousand dollars. And I just wonder, now,

1422
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: I just wonder how that guy's feeling that got that

1423
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 1: football and just decided add on it. You know it's

1424
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 1: a Dolphins. It wasn't hundred bucks or five hundred bucks.

1425
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: That's true, you know, he was. He was having a

1426
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: good time and figure, hey, man, you know what you

1427
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: paid for my tickets, paid for whatever I was drinking

1428
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,759
Speaker 1: or eating at the stadium. But yeah, so that thing's

1429
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 1: now gone up. And so we asked Kenyan go hey,

1430
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: he goes, Oh man, it's not that big a deal.

1431
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: The guy was. The guy wanted everything I owned. I

1432
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: only make six hunder grand. I'm not gonna all of

1433
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 1: a sudden give the guy a hundred just to get

1434
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 1: the damn ball back. So pretty crazy. That whole that

1435
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: whole story was nuts. But it was a great play

1436
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: and it was fun and and uh just because we

1437
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,160

Speaker 1: about guys begging out, you know, not trying to get

1452
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,400

1456
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:51,759

1457
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: he was one of those yelling guys in the background

1458
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: of Jimmy Sea. They say he's the play by play guys,

1459
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 1: So he must have been the guys as Tannehill's getting No,

1460
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: that's that's that's cephalo man. He could not have been

1461
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:05,839
Speaker 1: less interested when that place started, right, Yeah, when Tannehill

1462
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: takes that snapping backsides, Tannehill's last chance here, and they

1463
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: could not have been further down that was my gosh,

Speaker 1: Which AFC East team has the brightest future in the

1482
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 1: which should be expected. I guess our show this show.

1485
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,760

1486
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 1: you believe that or think something else, give us a call.

1487
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: Eighteen percent say the Jets, eight percent say the Patriots,

1488
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: two percent say the Dolphins. Let's hear from you tell

1489
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: us why eight three five fifty and toll free one

1490
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. You got

1491
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: some good responses on Twitter two from a guy named

1492
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: Jello from the tweet sheet guy named Jello, which AFC

1493
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: East Division team has the brightest future? He says, Buffalo.

1494
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 1: But if the Jets are Miami, get Jim or John Harbaugh,

1495
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: it's going to be an interesting division. Rumors say the

1496
01:14:57,640 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 1: Jets are willing to give the farm for John Harbaugh,

1497
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: and maybe Jim gets traded by Baltimore. I haven't heard

1498
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: those rumors. John gets traded by Yeah, Jim? Is it Michigan, Yes, yeah,

1499
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: fun times in AFCs. I haven't heard those rumors. I

1500
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: don't nobody's gonna Jim Harbor. John Harball is gonna stay

1501
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:20,839
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. They're talking about an extension. They're headed probably

1502
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: perhaps to the playoffs. If they do, why would you

1503
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: get rid of your head coach? Uh, he started a

1504
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback and still won games. I mean that's the

1505
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: owner has already said he stays crazy to stay. And

1506
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: Jim Harball, Um, I think it's a hard sell to

1507
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 1: get him out of there, although it's you know, he

1508
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 1: has moved around every three or four years. Um, we'll

1509
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: see and he hasn't. But I don't know, And I've

1510
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 1: heard some people say that they don't want. They don't

1511
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: think Jim Harball's leaving Michigan until he beats Ohio State

1512
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: at least once he's got a better chance now right, Yeah,

1513
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Yeah, I don't either. Tweet

1514
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 1: cheat from John Dubeck answered to our question which AFC

1515
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 1: East Division team has the brightest fear? John Dubick says,

1516
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: I have to say it's a Buffalo Bills with court

1517
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: players like Josh Tremaine and Tredebius, with cap room to

1518
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 1: add offensive help and ten draft picks to fill our

1519
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: team with depth. And I'll say another thing that he

1520
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: didn't mention stability, yep, right, I mean we're not changing

1521
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: the head coach. We're not like the Jets supposedly are,

1522
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: and we're not changing the guy at the top of

1523
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: the organization with Tannenbaum being out, a guy who's actually,

1524
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, final approved, Like Joe Rose just told us

1525
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins radio guys said that he stamped rubber

1526
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: stamped all the talent on that team. He's now going

1527
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 1: to be replaced. So and who knows how wide sweeping

1528
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:40,680
Speaker 1: those changes are going to be. So the Bills being

1529
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 1: stable with all the young guys that he just mentioned, uh,

1530
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: you know the building blocks. Yeah, you gotta like where

1531
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: the Bills are headed and their immediate future a little

1532
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 1: bit better than those other two teams. Anyway, We've also

1533
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: got one from Yeah, I think we did that. Did

1534
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 1: we do that? Brian Greer? Yep, Okay, let's go down

1535
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: to seven to one, six or Jets. He says that

1536
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:04,599
Speaker 1: have the brightest future in the next two to four

1537
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 1: years because they will mostly likely have a top four

1538
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: pick and get a new offensive minded coach, likely likelier

1539
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: than the Bills continuing to grow. I don't know, well,

1540
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 1: they're gonna get a top four pick pretty much. I

1541
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: think that's close to being true. I don't know if

1542
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: an offensive minded coach is a deal changer, is it?

1543
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,839
Speaker 1: I mean automatically, what if he's not a good offensive

1544
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: minded coach, you're gonna get a new coach. The fact

1545
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: that he's offensive minded is that a deal? Does that

1546
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: change the landscape? He's got to be a good coach,

1547
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 1: right or do we just assume that an offensive minded

1548
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: coach is better than a defensive minded coach? I don't

1549
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 1: know what if they what if they hire Leslie Frasier?

1550
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: You know what if they hire and one of the

1551
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: defensive minded coaches that are out there. We don't know

1552
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: who they're gonna hire, right Yeah, I think they're going

1553
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 1: to try and hire probably the best candidate, whether there's

1554
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: offensive or defensive. Either way, it's it's bad for everybody

1555
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: else in the division if they do get a great coach,

1556
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 1: but it's still going to take some time to implement

1557
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: their system. Right as few you're in the AFC East,

1558
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: Natan Clarence has a different idea. We like the different ideas.

1559
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: Make a case for us, Nate, what do you got? Hey,

1560
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: how's it gone? Guys? Good? Good? Um as big as

1561
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 1: a Bills fan I am, you know, as long as

1562
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: Belichick is the coach of the Patriots, they're gonna have

1563
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 1: the brightest future. Guys. I hate to say it. Tell

1564
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: me why, because I just think he's an outstanding coach.

1565
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's got plenty of Super Bowls, and you know,

1566
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:26,720
Speaker 1: as long as he's the coach of that team, they're

1567
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna have a brilliant offense. And I you know, whoever

1568
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: is the quarterback, I think I think they're gonna get

1569
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 1: someone new in there who's gonna do just fine. Like

1570
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: at quarterback. You mean, yeah, oh well, okay, maybe brilliant offense.

1571
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: You said, well, we'll see, I mean, certainly. Yeah. You

1572
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 1: know what, there's no reason to think they're gonna drop

1573
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 1: off except from what we've seen this This season has

1574
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 1: been just a little bit of a drop off, no question,

1575
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 1: And I've seen a significant drop off in the play

1576
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady. This is a team that does seem vulnerable.

1577
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 1: They drop two straight games for the first time in

1578
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 1: what fifteen years, and that's believe me, that's a small

1579
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: dip for most teams. That's significant, I think for for

1580
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. I don't know how long they'll keep going,

1581
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 1: but for the foreseeable future, I don't think Bill Belichick's

1582
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Tom Brady, he says he's coming back, and hey,

1583
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: if he does, okay, But uh, I don't think. Like

1584
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: I said before, Nate, and I get you, they're still

1585
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 1: pretty good. But Father Time's undefeated, and I still think

1586
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 1: he's walking those two guys down, and sooner or later

1587
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna catch him and there's no beating him. So

1588
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 1: at some point things are going to change drastically in

1589
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 1: New England. There you go. So I agree with you.

1590
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: Though they are they they may keeping they may they

1591
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: may keep keep on keeping on. But I think comparatively

1592
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: speaking to where they've been and where they're headed now,

1593
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't think the next two to four years is

1594
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: gonna be anything like what we agree with, I do not.

1595
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be significant drop off two to

1596
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 1: four years. Yeah, I think a significant drop off. Thanks

1597
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: very much, Nate. That's good though, Nate, I hear you.

1598
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: Let's go to Norman Alden, Hello, Normal, into the show.

1599
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Murph, Good afternoon, Steve, great show as usual.

1600
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 1: Thanks Norm. You know I have to number one in

1601
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: my opinion. I think the bills. I agree with most

1602
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: of the callers and tweets. I think the Bills have

1603
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: the best shot to be the best in the next

1604
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 1: two to four years, without a doubt. I mean, I

1605
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 1: think we all know defenses win Super Bowls. The only

1606
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: thing I questioned, Steve, is you mentioned the speed for

1607
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 1: our receivers. You know L Davis, you know, God rest

1608
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,600
Speaker 1: his soul. He's still not around, obviously, but he was

1609
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: the man with the need for speed. I don't care

1610
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: how fast you are. I don't care if we have.

1611
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 1: You seen me and Bolt on his Bills team. You

1612
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: have to catch the ball, correct, Yeah, I hear you.

1613
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,640
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Norm. And then I got a comment too

1614
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:51,719
Speaker 1: about McCoy. How come we always run him up the middle,

1615
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: very seldom we run him out to the outside. To me,

1616
01:20:56,040 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: it seems like he's more he's better running ball to

1617
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 1: the outside. But maybe they changed things up and maybe

1618
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm missing the game. But yeah, you're right. I think

1619
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: McCoy does need more spaith than he's had, no question

1620
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: about it. But I don't I'll tell you what, uh, Norm,

1621
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that anything they do upfront is going

1622
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,080
Speaker 1: to help him. I mean, I think I think they

1623
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: need I need they need a wholly new up new

1624
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: whole wholesale change up front. Um, I don't think the

1625
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:26,680
Speaker 1: scheme is what's holding Lashawn McCoy back. I think it's

1626
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 1: the I think it's the talent thanks around him. Let's

1627
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: go to another question about Shady from Joe in Delaware.

1628
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 1: Hello Joe walking to the show. Hey, Steve and John,

1629
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 1: love your shows. Fan for a very long time. Um,

1630
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: I just have a couple of things, so a couple

1631
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: of points, So hope you let me make both of

1632
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: my points. But this whole lot Lashan McCoy thing, and

1633
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 1: I like Leshan and but um, I heard you talking

1634
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: about this yesterday and I just had to call um.

1635
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: There's articles written about Lashawan and they say about hall

1636
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: fame and all that. If he is the Hall of Famer,

1637
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: if he's not, that's not the point. The point is

1638
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 1: if you're a very good, productive player, and if you're

1639
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: the top one of the top paid running backs in

1640
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: all football, you need to find a way to be productive.

1641
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,560
Speaker 1: And I get all you keep talking about is the

1642
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:18,559
Speaker 1: offensive line is not doing their job and he's doing

1643
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 1: any place to run well. He can certainly catch more

1644
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 1: than three passes for like ten or twenty yards or something.

1645
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean, big time players find a way to be productive,

1646
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: and you guys are just giving him a path on

1647
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: this and it's not right. I mean, that's something's wrong

1648
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: with him physically. He's got to be finding other ways

1649
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 1: to be productive. That's what players do. You don't look

1650
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 1: at a really a good player and say, well, yeah,

1651
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: all these good years, but oh, don't you remember that

1652
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: one year with the offensive line stunk and he couldn't

1653
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 1: do anything. No, it doesn't. It doesn't work that way.

1654
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: And I think it does work that way, honestly, I do. Yeah.

1655
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean Joe he doesn't call the plays, and he

1656
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 1: doesn't tell the quarterback to throw him the ball. He

1657
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: doesn't call him. He doesn't get to choose where he goes.

1658
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, and he gets an opportunity, it's up to

1659
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: him to make the most of it. And I don't

1660
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 1: think and you're right. I mean, he's catching three passes

1661
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 1: isn't enough, But he doesn't throw those passes. All he

1662
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: can do is catch what's thrown to him. I mean,

1663
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 1: I don't see. I mean, you can say, you can

1664
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,639
Speaker 1: say other things about whether you know he's I don't think.

1665
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: I mean, some of the guys are dropping pass I

1666
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 1: don't think Lashawn McCoy is the guy dropping passes, So

1667
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 1: I think he makes um the most of whatever opportunities.

1668
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: But you were watching some of the I know you

1669
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:28,600
Speaker 1: can't see him, Joe, but we're watching some of the

1670
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: highlights of him this year. He's getting tackled behind the

1671
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:33,400
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage a ton. So I don't I mean,

1672
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. There are some guys who

1673
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 1: seem to be productive in no matter what, But I

1674
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I still think Lashawn McCoy hazzled something to offer.

1675
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 1: And maybe he's not, and certainly he's not living up

1676
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:50,000
Speaker 1: to his cap number this year, but I think nobody

1677
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 1: on the offense really is if you're looking at it

1678
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: that way, what's your other point, Joe. The other point is,

1679
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: and I know you talked about this a lot, is

1680
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 1: about having a like a number one receiver and all

1681
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: these things, and I agree with all that. Well, what

1682
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 1: I want to say is you don't need to have

1683
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: like an AJ Green or a Julio Jones or that

1684
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: type of a wide receiver to be productive. And I'll

1685
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: forgive this example. And I know our quarterback isn't Andrew Luck,

1686
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: but I just want to give you an example, I

1687
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 1: watched an early season Colts game, and I'm a big

1688
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,640
Speaker 1: time football fan, college and pro. He was thrown This

1689
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: is when t Y Hilton was hurt. He was thrown

1690
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 1: passes all over the field, being very productive, and he

1691
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:35,720
Speaker 1: was throwing passes and they were catching him. And I

1692
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,759
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you. I didn't hear any of those receivers

1693
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 1: that he was throwing these passes too. And I'm a

1694
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:44,720
Speaker 1: big time football fan, and I mean so my point is,

1695
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: if you have a quarterback that can get the ball

1696
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,799
Speaker 1: out and get it because he's a professional wide receivers

1697
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 1: on professional teams, they're going to catch the ball if

1698
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: it's put in the position it's supposed to be put in.

1699
01:24:56,120 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 1: And that was the example that keep thinking about. And

1700
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the job passes. You can't do anything

1701
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: about that. But my point is you don't have to

1702
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: have a Hall of Fame type of a wide receiver

1703
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: in order to be have a productive passing game. I agree.

1704
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: I agree with that, Joe. I think you're right on

1705
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: the money with that. Certainly, you'd like to have Julio

1706
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 1: Jones or t Y Hilton or or AJ Green or

1707
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins or one of those. Yeah, certainly that or

1708
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, that'd be awesome. But yeah, I agree with you.

1709
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: You can you can have a really productive passing game

1710
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 1: with you know, you need more than one medium, but

1711
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: you need at least middle of the road veteran wide

1712
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 1: receivers who understand how to get open to what the

1713
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 1: quarterback wants and to line up you know, who know

1714
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: what they're doing out there. If you can get those guys,

1715
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: certainly you don't need a you know, one of those

1716
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: names that I just spoke about. I'm kind of with

1717
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: you on that, and I'm a big fan. You said,

1718
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, we don't have you know, uh, Andrew Luck

1719
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: throwing the football or any that. You're right, because it's

1720
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: been my contention for a long time. The quarterback will

1721
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 1: make those guys much much better. It's not the opus.

1722
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,799
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is not gonna make Nathan Peterman a great quarterback.

1723
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: You know. So I'm with you on that. I think

1724
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, Uh, it's gonna be Josh Allen that

1725
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 1: runs the thing. It's gonna be it's gonna be his

1726
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:15,640
Speaker 1: abilities and make those guys look good. And if you

1727
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:19,640
Speaker 1: just get enough good players around him. Without having a

1728
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: superstar player, you're gonna be just fine. I think you

1729
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 1: canna be able to win a lot of games and

1730
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,839
Speaker 1: score plenty of points to win games. So I appreciate

1731
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: eachow that's good. I've been saying for months, basically since

1732
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 1: um since we saw the Bears here at least in

1733
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 1: early November, that they, to me were kind of the

1734
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: template of what you need to do in wide receiver.

1735
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: You know, they sang free agents who are not ridiculously expensive,

1736
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 1: getting hard working, hard nosed guys who can get over

1737
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson, Taylor Gabriel, guys who joined them this year,

1738
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agents who've got good productive years, and those

1739
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 1: guys are guys I hope the Bills get. They're not

1740
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: making fourteen million apiece. I mean, like Sammy Watkins, you know,

1741
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, get you know who's Robert Woods, right?

1742
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,640
Speaker 1: You can make an eight million bucks a year or

1743
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: something like that. It sounds like a ton of money

1744
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 1: in it, but you know that's a middle No. I'm

1745
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: talking about that level of guy that you know, you

1746
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 1: spend you know, twenty million bucks and you get three

1747
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 1: guys that are that are on the field helping you,

1748
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:16,040
Speaker 1: and you can go to any one of them on

1749
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: any given play. They're all equal. That's what you need,

1750
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: right right. I think Joe's right about that break. We're

1751
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: back with more One Bills Live from One Bill's Driving.

1752
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:46,679
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Bill's Live from Okay, welcome

1753
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 1: back to the show, One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive.

1754
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:50,639
Speaker 1: We're hustling back in after I've got into a heated

1755
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: discussion about I can't remember now because it was meaningless.

1756
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: It was so heated that we can't remember exactly. But

1757
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: we were out there. There's like six people in the

1758
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 1: control room, including Murph and I, and everybody was talking

1759
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: at once. It was great. It was It's kind of

1760
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 1: like the show. Yeah, just a bunch of sound and

1761
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 1: fury signifying nothings. Hey, how about this. I'm gonna ask

1762
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: you in a minute what you think of Pro Football

1763
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 1: Focus grades. But Pro Football Focus grades, they have a

1764
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 1: couple of interesting ones involving some bills out today. I

1765
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 1: think are the last couple of days top graded rookie

1766
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:26,479
Speaker 1: quarterbacks Pro Football Focus grades. This is for the season

1767
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:30,679
Speaker 1: right so far, I believe top graded rookie quarterbacks Baker Mayfield.

1768
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 1: I think consensus having the best year of any of

1769
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:35,759
Speaker 1: the first rounders give it to him. Yep. Sam Darnold

1770
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 1: ranked second with their grade of sixty five minimum six

1771
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: games started, and then Josh Allen just below Sam Donald

1772
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: sixty three point seven, then Lamar Jackson and fifty nine.

1773
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: They're grade Josh Rosen fifty two. Hard to pick this

1774
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:50,479
Speaker 1: apart and disagree with that. I think I think most

1775
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 1: people agree that Mayfield is the best of the group.

1776
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 1: Darnold's had good moments. John has been right there too,

1777
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: just behind him in the Pro Football Focus grades. Could

1778
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: I could buy into that. I think they're around to

1779
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 1: something there, and Josh Rosen is is absolutely He's on

1780
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: a the worst team in football. Um right now, maybe

1781
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders are the worst team in football, but I

1782
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 1: think Josh Rosen is the one who's probably got the

1783
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 1: least to work with. Uh. They're a team that's in transition.

1784
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like Steve Wilkes may survive after just

1785
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 1: one year. They they may change again. They don't like

1786
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 1: the direction their teams headed and away it looks so

1787
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen's up against it, which is one of the

1788
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: reasons why he may be down the list a little

1789
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 1: bit as well. But Lamar Jackson's kind of surprises me

1790
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 1: because there's a guy who is who's winning. What his

1791
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 1: grades too low? Yeah, well, I mean they're grading, they're

1792
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 1: grading their performance. How does he you know, how is

1793
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:43,240
Speaker 1: he playing? How is he throwing it? How is he

1794
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 1: how is he performing? Yeah, that's why it's so difficult.

1795
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: And I get it six a minimum of six games. Yeah,

1796
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: that I am. I'm of a mind to I mean,

1797
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 1: I get the analytics of an Pro Football Focus does

1798
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:00,800
Speaker 1: an outstanding job. They got guys who watched that film

1799
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:02,880
Speaker 1: and study it and break it down, and they do

1800
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:07,640
Speaker 1: adjusted completion percentages, all of that stuff about you know,

1801
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,599
Speaker 1: a guy who's deliberately throwing it away, it wasn't his fall,

1802
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:12,960
Speaker 1: guy couldn't get separation, and a guy, you know whatever,

1803
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:15,679
Speaker 1: a tipped interception doesn't count if it was on the money,

1804
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. And they do all this adjusted

1805
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 1: stuff and they kind of take into an account what

1806
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 1: went wrong out of the control of the player that

1807
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:25,879
Speaker 1: they're evaluating, particularly at the quarterback position. So I respect

1808
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:29,880
Speaker 1: all of that, but how can a guy like Lamar

1809
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:33,759
Speaker 1: Jackson who's winning every week not get a better grade

1810
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 1: than that because he didn't throw it that well or

1811
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:37,720
Speaker 1: that often. But he's not being asked to throw it

1812
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,080
Speaker 1: that often. He's running the football. They're running a sixty

1813
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,519
Speaker 1: five percent of the time. Sixty five percent of the

1814
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 1: time they're running it. What's wrong with that? Because they

1815
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:48,200
Speaker 1: don't like it when a guy runs it instead of

1816
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 1: throwing it. Relative to quarterbacks, you know, like this is

1817
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:54,240
Speaker 1: what quarterback play looks like. Yeah, I agree. It's totally

1818
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 1: subjective on Pro Football Focus and they're greaterers. That's the

1819
01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: problem I have with it. I think, well, the teams

1820
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:03,160
Speaker 1: do it. Every team's grades are subjective to Brian Dables.

1821
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: It sound grades his entire offense. That's Brian Dables grade. Yeah,

1822
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 1: but it's also with knowledge of exactly what they're asking

1823
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 1: the guy to do and how he did it the

1824
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:12,919
Speaker 1: plus minus and that's so I bother reading the cornerback

1825
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,639
Speaker 1: grades or you're just dismissing these is I'm not dismissing,

1826
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: And go ahead and you read those because the Bills

1827
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 1: have two guys on that top So you're gonna agree

1828
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,640
Speaker 1: with these top rated rookie corners so far this year

1829
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:26,639
Speaker 1: minimum three hundred twenty five snaps played. Denzel Ward Cleveland

1830
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 1: is ranked number one seventy nine point zero, and then

1831
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:32,400
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace of the Bills rookie corner seventy eight point zero.

1832
01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 1: Hasn't played a ton mostly the second half of the season.

1833
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 1: That's impressive, though, an undrafted rookie free agent J. C.

1834
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 1: Jackson of the Patriots graded third, JayR. Alexander graded fourth,

1835
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:45,040
Speaker 1: and then Tarn Johnson, Bill's nickel corner. Even though he's

1836
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:47,080
Speaker 1: missed the last several games, he's got a grade of

1837
01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 1: sixty nine point six. He's the fifth so on Pro

1838
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 1: Football Focus grades for rookie corners this year, the Bills

1839
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:55,800
Speaker 1: have two of the top five. That's encouraging good. It's

1840
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: pretty good. Now you're leaving these grades well, I mean yeah,

1841
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean what are you look at? Could they tackle? Well?

1842
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 1: Do they break up a lot of passes? Are they?

1843
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 1: Are they getting in the passing that? But what if

1844
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 1: the ball's not thrown to their guy not because he's

1845
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:10,519
Speaker 1: not covered because he wasn't the number one, he never

1846
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 1: got to him in the progression. I don't know, but

1847
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 1: we all knew no, even Sean McDermott said of Terren

1848
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: Johnson was playing really well before he was injured, and

1849
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 1: he was he was a Gamer's He played hurt for

1850
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 1: a long stretch of the season before it finally got

1851
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 1: the best time they had to do the surgery on

1852
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 1: his shoulder. And of course Levi Wallace was a guy

1853
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:31,400
Speaker 1: we had, actually we had him on the show maybe

1854
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:35,559
Speaker 1: in training camp a couple of weeks ago. Did now

1855
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 1: did we? Yeah, if the season is a blurred out,

1856
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 1: but but you know, he's just a guy who all

1857
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden showed up and he's playing extremely well. Now,

1858
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:45,840
Speaker 1: some of these guys, I get it, some of them.

1859
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 1: Some of the guys are making the most of an

1860
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: opportunity given them. And there may be some other guys

1861
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:53,720
Speaker 1: around the league scattered around rosters who didn't get that

1862
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:56,120
Speaker 1: same opportunity, who maybe would have played better, or they're

1863
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 1: playing behind a guy that's really good. But I'm telling

1864
01:32:57,880 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: you what, you got to tip your hat to these

1865
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 1: young guys. For all the rookie corners who are getting

1866
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 1: significant snaps, they're at the top of the list. I

1867
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 1: don't know how many of those guys there really are

1868
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:08,879
Speaker 1: around the league. There can't be more than what fifteen

1869
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 1: rookies playing with three hundred snaps on defense and that's

1870
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: defensive backfield. There can't be that many. Yeah, but still

1871
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 1: top of the top and took your hat to him. Yeah, Hey, practice,

1872
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:21,160
Speaker 1: just wrapping up for the Bills. We hope to get

1873
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 1: in one of the players coming off the practice field

1874
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 1: working around weightlifting, that sort of thing trainers treatments. But

1875
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:28,400

1948
01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:11,720
Speaker 1: kind of phase in hibernation. But I do know this though,

1949
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: because it is the days are getting longer by I

1950
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 1: think it's like three minutes a day. It gets longer.

1951

1952
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:22,040
Speaker 1: think it's like three minutes a day. And because of that,

1953
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, we'll be long before we you know, it'll

1954
01:37:24,120 --> 01:37:26,439
Speaker 1: be still be lighted five thirty and then we'll go

1955
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:28,720
Speaker 1: back to daylight savings. You'll be getting up. It'll be

1956
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 1: daylight and sunnay when you get oh yeah right, those

1957
01:37:31,240 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 1: are the days. Yeah yeah, not now though. Hey, we're talking.

1958
01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:37,599
Speaker 1: So the Bills play the Dolphins right Sunday. You got that, um.

1959
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: The Bills played the Patriots last week. The Jets a

1960
01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:43,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, they basically backloaded the entire AFC

1961
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 1: East Division schedule to the last six or seven weeks.

1962
01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:48,680
Speaker 1: Speaking of the AFC East, that's the topic of our

1963
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today, and I think it's a I think

1964
01:37:50,439 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 1: it's a decent question. We're getting pretty significant response to this.

1965
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:55,400
Speaker 1: What do you think if you look into the next

1966
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,639
Speaker 1: two to four years into the future, which AFC East

1967
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:01,120
Speaker 1: team has the brightest future? Is it the Bills? Is

1968
01:38:01,160 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 1: it the Dolphins? Is that the Jets? Is it the Patriots?

1969
01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. We've got phone lines

1970
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 1: open on this at eight O three oh five fifty

1971
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 1: outside Buffalo. It's a toll free call one eight eight

1972
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:13,640
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. You can tweet in

1973
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:15,600
Speaker 1: a response. You can vote in our Twitter poll. On

1974
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:18,720
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll with thirteen hundred votes in so far,

1975
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:21,920
Speaker 1: seventy two percent of you say the Bills have the

1976
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 1: brightest future in the AFC East next two to four years.

1977
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 1: We're trying to if you believe that, call us something.

1978
01:38:27,439 --> 01:38:29,160
Speaker 1: Let us know why. We're trying to separate it from

1979
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, standard I love the Bills support too. I

1980
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 1: think honestly the Bills have the best future. Eighteen percent

1981
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:38,400
Speaker 1: say the Jets, seven percent say the Patriots, three percent,

1982
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 1: only three percent say the Dolphins. It was significant. I

1983
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 1: thought Steve that our guest last hour, Joe Rose, former

1984
01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, tight end current radio analysts on the Dolphins

1985
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:51,120
Speaker 1: radio network Joe Rose. When we asked him the question,

1986
01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: he said, well, I think the Bills have the brightest future. Yeah,

1987
01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:55,880
Speaker 1: I got my attention. The way it's stacked up, it

1988
01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:58,760
Speaker 1: looks better for the Bills. And you can say the

1989
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:00,599
Speaker 1: Bills and the Jets are kind in the same spot.

1990
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 1: They both got their quarterback of the future this year.

1991
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 1: The difference being from the Bills and the Jets is

1992
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 1: the Bills are more stable now as a front offend

1993
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:10,599
Speaker 1: when it was the last time we said that, right,

1994
01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 1: the Bills are more stable, yeah, than either the Dolphins

1995
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 1: or the Jets. The Dolphins are making some change at

1996
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:18,080
Speaker 1: the top of their organization right now as well. The

1997
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:20,759
Speaker 1: Bills seem solid as a rock right now. Going forward,

1998
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:23,040
Speaker 1: They and going to head it into their I guess

1999
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:28,400
Speaker 1: would be their third full season with Sean McDermot as

2000
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,320
Speaker 1: at the helm and then they're two and a half

2001
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:34,719
Speaker 1: years into Brandon bean As had as the general manager.

2002
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:38,600
Speaker 1: So that kind of gives them the stability, plus the

2003
01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 1: on field look and feel of a team that's on

2004
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: the rise, particularly the way Josh Allen has played in

2005
01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 1: the fact they've got one of the top defenses in

2006
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:49,200
Speaker 1: the league. There's a lot to be happy about. We've

2007
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,280
Speaker 1: all seen their struggles to score points. But with ten

2008
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:56,479
Speaker 1: draft picks and ninety million dollars in cap space and

2009
01:39:56,600 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 1: some significant rookies playing, and some young players that they've

2010
01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:02,880
Speaker 1: really made lynch pins on both sides of the football man,

2011
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 1: it really looks like a positive trend. Yeah, on all hitting,

2012
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 1: on all cylinders, we think, so, don't. We're not trying

2013
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:11,839
Speaker 1: to convince you here. I'd like you hear it's some feedback.

2014
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 1: We've had a couple of callers say, Patriots Jets, All right,

2015
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:15,680
Speaker 1: let's hear it. And let's face it, there's no reason

2016
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 1: to think the Patriot you're gonna fall off the face

2017
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:19,439
Speaker 1: of the earth and go two and fourteen next. You

2018
01:40:19,479 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: can hope that, yes, we can hope that, you know,

2019
01:40:22,439 --> 01:40:24,400
Speaker 1: but how likely it is? No. I mean, we've had

2020
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:25,920
Speaker 1: one caller come in and say, listen, as long as

2021
01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:28,680
Speaker 1: Belichick's there, doesn't matter who's playing quarterback, form doesn't matter

2022
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 1: who think they're going to be in playoff contention. And

2023
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 1: perhaps that's true, but that I think there's significant signs,

2024
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 1: most notably the number on the calendar that things are

2025
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 1: going to have to change in New England pretty pretty

2026
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: significantly in the near future. What do you think give

2027
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:45,680
Speaker 1: us a call, let's talk about it. Eight three fifty

2028
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

2029
01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 1: Which AFC East team has the brightest future over the

2030
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 1: next two to four years? What do you think? Nick?

2031
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:57,720
Speaker 1: And Archer Park has a thought on this? Nick? Go ahead, Hey,

2032
01:40:57,840 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: how you doing great? Thank you? Um? Yeah, I think

2033
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:04,479
Speaker 1: that the Bills and the Jets are pretty much evil

2034
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:10,080
Speaker 1: in this because you got Sam Donald, you have Josh Allen,

2035
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 1: You have one hundred billion dollars in cap space for

2036
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: the Jets. You had ninety million dollars in cap space

2037
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:18,040
Speaker 1: for the Bill. Yep. Um. I think I think that

2038
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:22,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a pretty even keel like the Marino

2039
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 1: Mantilly days with with Josh Allen and Sam Donald. Nick,

2040
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 1: I think we're going. But Nick, here's the one difference,

2041
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 1: and it's pretty significant. The Jets are going to change

2042
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:34,840
Speaker 1: their coach in like a week or two, right, which

2043
01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 1: means probably a reset of a lot of things. Right,

2044
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:40,880
Speaker 1: Yet that would give the Bills a bit of an edge.

2045
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:45,760
Speaker 1: You're right, it definitely does. Yeah, But I'll tell you

2046
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:49,280
Speaker 1: we all see the same thing you do, Nick, We

2047
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 1: like Darnald as a quarterback. We like um Jamal Adams

2048
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 1: on safety. They've got their their roster, while although the

2049
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:00,760
Speaker 1: Bills roster is a little upsided towards the defensive side

2050
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 1: of the football. I think there's probably a lot of

2051
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 1: good players on the Jet team that they're going to

2052
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:07,160
Speaker 1: try and retain and keep. They do have one hundred

2053
01:42:07,240 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 1: million dollars. They have ten million dollars more in cap

2054
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:12,880
Speaker 1: space to spend next year in free agency. Yeah, so

2055
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:17,960
Speaker 1: I get exactly what you're saying. I think the Jets future,

2056
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:19,880
Speaker 1: they don't have any reason to fear what's coming in

2057
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:22,320
Speaker 1: the future until they accept until they decide on a

2058
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:24,880
Speaker 1: new head coach. We'll see about that. But I think

2059
01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:27,479
Speaker 1: that question mark is the only thing really that separates

2060
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 1: these two teams. And maybe the fact that the Bills

2061
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 1: have a better defense in place, the Bills might have

2062
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: better young Thanks for your call, Nick, the Bills, I'm

2063
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:42,559
Speaker 1: thinking they have more young pieces in place, I think

2064
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 1: than the Jets do. Honestly, see, I really do, I

2065
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:46,720
Speaker 1: really think that. I think the Bills when you look

2066
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:48,800
Speaker 1: at I mean, and it's mostly on defense here, right,

2067
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 1: But Tremine Edmonds in place is going to be around

2068
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:53,760
Speaker 1: for a while, you would think, right, Matt Malana when

2069
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 1: he gets back healthy, Terren Johnson on the back end,

2070
01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,120
Speaker 1: or Abas White on the back end, and those are

2071
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:00,920
Speaker 1: four significant building blocks that are all first and second

2072
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:02,720
Speaker 1: year players that I don't know if the Jets can

2073
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 1: point to a group before. If Jamal Adams the other safety,

2074
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:07,599
Speaker 1: and he's a good player, the other safety is pretty good.

2075
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:08,960
Speaker 1: But I don't know if the Jets can point to

2076
01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: players like that and that many young players that are

2077
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,200
Speaker 1: playing significant snaps, no question about. And the Bills on

2078
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:18,320
Speaker 1: the offensive side, they've got work to do. I don't

2079
01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:19,840
Speaker 1: know if the Jets have that much work to do.

2080
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the Jets are as far behind the

2081
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 1: curve up front as the Bills may seem seem to be.

2082
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 1: But and they've got their quarterback just like Buffalo does.

2083
01:43:28,479 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 1: And they've got a good wide receiver in Quincy and Una,

2084
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 1: who I think is pretty good. Quincy and Nuna is

2085
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 1: the Yeah. That's if there was an offensive player for

2086
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 1: the Jets that I'd go right now and get, that

2087
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 1: would be the guy. I really believe that he is.

2088
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,679
Speaker 1: And I've said this before and we did the Jets

2089
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:46,920
Speaker 1: early in the season, and one of his own player

2090
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: teammates described Quincy and Numa and Nona as he is

2091
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 1: a running back that's inside a tight ends body is

2092
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:59,639
Speaker 1: playing wide receiver. You know, that's pretty good. That's pretty

2093
01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:03,559
Speaker 1: good Nation. He's a good player. So I would point

2094
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 1: to him as well as on the offensive side alone

2095
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:07,920
Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold and of course Jamal Adams. On the

2096
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:10,680
Speaker 1: defensive side, though, they've got some young guys there, but

2097
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 1: not to the extent and those guys haven't They don't

2098
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: have as many guys who have seen as significant amount

2099
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 1: of snaps as Buffalo has. What do you think which

2100
01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:19,679
Speaker 1: AFC East team has the brightest future? We're talking about

2101
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 1: the next couple of years. Greg on the line, Greg

2102
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:24,640
Speaker 1: from Buffalo. Hi, Greg, go ahead, welcome. Hey, Yeah, I

2103
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 1: think for taking my call. U my fun story. Actually

2104
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:30,680
Speaker 1: you interviewed me as I was a ball boy for

2105
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:34,000
Speaker 1: the Bill's Way back probably twenty years ago. I'm not

2106
01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:38,160
Speaker 1: sure if you remember that. Why did I interview you, Greg? Um? Well,

2107
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: I kept emailing and I finally got the job after

2108
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:42,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of phone calls, and you heard it on

2109
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:45,600
Speaker 1: the radio on your way into Rochester and I was

2110
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 1: at the camp. Oh wow, scided to take an interview

2111
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 1: for me. Okay, cool, there you go. Those were the day.

2112
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:53,439
Speaker 1: It's all nice. So you were a ball boy at

2113
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 1: camp in Rochester. Yeah, yeah, yeah for just a few years.

2114
01:44:57,240 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 1: Good experience. I bet it was fantastic. Yeah, a lot

2115
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,720
Speaker 1: of good memories and still a Bill's fand to this day. Right.

2116
01:45:04,600 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just want to talk about what you

2117
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:09,479
Speaker 1: guys have been discussing. Um. Really, I think the last

2118
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,840
Speaker 1: caller m I kind of agree. I think it's between

2119
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:14,080
Speaker 1: us and the Jets. I think you guys make good

2120
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:16,080
Speaker 1: points that we have a good future, especially on the

2121
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:18,120
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. I like what we have

2122
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:21,040
Speaker 1: in Alan. I think for the Jets, you know, I

2123
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:22,960
Speaker 1: was going to say, it determines you know, who their

2124
01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:25,439
Speaker 1: next coaches. And for the Bills, it determines what we

2125
01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:27,400
Speaker 1: do with our money and in the draft, you know,

2126
01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:30,599
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of things. So that's really my point.

2127
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:32,360
Speaker 1: I'll hang up and I'll let you guys go ahead

2128
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 1: and talk. Yeah, And I was thinking about this in

2129
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:42,439
Speaker 1: the last break. The real key to next season is

2130
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 1: down to four words. After this, after this last game

2131
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:49,840
Speaker 1: against Miami, the whole conversation is going to change, and

2132
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:54,080
Speaker 1: it goes down to four words. Pick the right players.

2133
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 1: That's it. Pick the right players. You have to pick

2134
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:00,720
Speaker 1: whoever it is in free agent, and see whoever it

2135
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:03,240
Speaker 1: is in the draft. If they pick the right players,

2136
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,720
Speaker 1: that is the neck. That is the next piece, and

2137
01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 1: it's the only crucial element about the entire offseason. Pick

2138
01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:13,240
Speaker 1: the right players. They've got enough really good players at

2139
01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 1: key spots on the team right now, and if you

2140
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:20,280
Speaker 1: can fill in the gaps around those guys, this is

2141
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:23,200
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna be everything the Bills fans hoped

2142
01:46:23,240 --> 01:46:26,680
Speaker 1: it would be. That's right. They got a lot of

2143
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 1: players they gotta pick because there's gonna be significant a

2144
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:33,680
Speaker 1: significant number of new starters on offense and maybe even

2145
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:36,960
Speaker 1: on defense, maybe down inside or wherever. There's gonna be

2146
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:39,880
Speaker 1: some guys that are different on this team playing significant roles,

2147
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:43,640
Speaker 1: mostly obviously on offense at least, and they've got to

2148
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:46,840
Speaker 1: pick the right guys. That's it. That's what Brandon Bean's

2149
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:50,240
Speaker 1: job is. Job one, and that's it. And getting it

2150
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:53,240
Speaker 1: evaluated by the coaching staff, the scouting staff, and Brandon Bean.

2151
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 1: That's the key to the entire equation for the Buffalo

2152
01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:00,240
Speaker 1: Bill's future. Just next offseason is picked the right guys.

2153
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm inspired for another a new Twitter poll after the

2154
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 1: first of the year, maybe a week or two. Dude,

2155
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:09,600
Speaker 1: I think from what they've done Brandon Bean now with

2156
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:13,840
Speaker 1: one draft to his credit and one free agency period,

2157
01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:16,880
Speaker 1: I think he's got They seemed good at it. Yeah,

2158
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:18,519
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty good at it, and people are

2159
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna call him pick apart a couple of draft picks maybe.

2160
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:23,320
Speaker 1: And they made some trades like the Kelvin Benjamin thing

2161
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 1: that was a bust up that didn't work, but they

2162
01:47:25,040 --> 01:47:27,400
Speaker 1: had to do something and why not. They did get

2163
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:30,040
Speaker 1: one of the trades, they got Robert Foster. He turned

2164
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 1: out to be a pretty hard nosed, salty player front

2165
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:37,000
Speaker 1: a little injured, which was not his modus OPERENDI Brandon

2166
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:39,080
Speaker 1: Bean making the trades last year and some of the treats.

2167
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 1: Robert Foster came in on one of the trades he

2168
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:45,200
Speaker 1: got DJ Gaines. You thinking about Matthews, Jordan Matthews, not

2169
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 1: Robert Foster. Jordan Matthews. Last year. E J. Gaines came

2170
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:50,760
Speaker 1: in played extremely well for the team. That was a

2171
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:52,840
Speaker 1: great move by them. Although they only got one year

2172
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:54,240
Speaker 1: out of him. They knew that's kind of what they

2173
01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 1: were playing for, you know, Tremaine Edmonds, Matt Milano. You

2174
01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:00,439
Speaker 1: can go down the list of the young guys they've

2175
01:48:00,479 --> 01:48:02,599
Speaker 1: picked up and the free ages. Now you can make

2176
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:04,720
Speaker 1: a case maybe Trent Murphy didn't work out to be

2177
01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:06,800
Speaker 1: the splash player they thought he was going to be.

2178
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:10,599
Speaker 1: But he's been solid. He's been rotating in Starlow two.

2179
01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,640
Speaker 1: Lelei has been really good in the run game, and

2180
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:16,519
Speaker 1: although he's not a pass rusher like a Aaron Donald,

2181
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 1: he still is doing exactly what they want him to do,

2182
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:24,040
Speaker 1: and that soak up blockers. Um they they seem now

2183
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 1: those are all defensive players, so I right when they switch,

2184
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 1: when they switch the other side of the ball, I

2185
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 1: hope there as proficient as they seem to be on

2186
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:35,080
Speaker 1: the defensive side. We'll see. I'm wondering what kind of

2187
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 1: confidence Bills fans have in them being able to get

2188
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 1: the right guy. Who I smell a Twitter poll, that's

2189
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:41,680
Speaker 1: a Twitter pole I'm talking about. After the first of

2190
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:43,280
Speaker 1: the year, we got one more games. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

2191
01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:47,200
Speaker 1: make a note of that back in the control room.

2192
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:51,920
Speaker 1: High seeves, Are you there? Yeah, go ahead, bud Hi Um.

2193
01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm Ryan from lack Ford and Bill's fan all my life,

2194
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:57,560
Speaker 1: and I think to answer your question, I think the

2195
01:48:57,640 --> 01:49:00,760
Speaker 1: Bills have the most to gain in the next two

2196
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:04,680
Speaker 1: to four years because of Josh Allen's mobility to go

2197
01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:10,960
Speaker 1: with his big arm and Robert Foster's development. Imagine pairing

2198
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:13,559
Speaker 1: him with a number true, number one wide receiver, weather

2199
01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 1: it's through the draft or free agency such as Um.

2200
01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:20,280
Speaker 1: I like Marquis Hollywood Brown, Antonio Brown's cousin. I think

2201
01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 1: we could draft him and then go like o Line

2202
01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 1: in the first round or something like that. Right, Okay, Ryan,

2203
01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 1: you make a good point when you say the Bills

2204
01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:29,600
Speaker 1: have the most to gain, And as soon as you

2205
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 1: said that, I thought, let me think about that. The

2206
01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:34,760
Speaker 1: Bills are. They're not there yet, and they got one

2207
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 1: more game here. We're not advancing me on this, but

2208
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:40,200
Speaker 1: they are when the off season begins, and it begins

2209
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:43,040
Speaker 1: next week, they're going to be in position Steve to

2210
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 1: strike boldly and decisively this offseason with all that cat money,

2211
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:50,640
Speaker 1: with all those draft picks. This it's their move right

2212
01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:52,920
Speaker 1: after the first Sea year. By the way, Brandon Mean's

2213
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 1: going to join this next Wednesday at noon on the show.

2214
01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 1: And this sounds like the first question we'll ask him.

2215
01:49:57,320 --> 01:49:59,200
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're a poised to strike now

2216
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:01,880
Speaker 1: in every way to strike? You've got resources, You've got

2217
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:05,599
Speaker 1: draft picks, you got the makings of a skeleton crew

2218
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 1: of a pretty good young roster. They gotta believe This

2219
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:11,040
Speaker 1: offseason is key critical for that, absolutely, and it is

2220
01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 1: by the way it is now. They really they got

2221
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 1: it done this last offseat. And you can say, well,

2222
01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 1: what do they do? But they got the quarterback, they

2223
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 1: got blind They got the quarterback, which was the number

2224
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:23,080
Speaker 1: one thing. They got their lynchpin middle linebacker, which is

2225
01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:27,560
Speaker 1: another thing. They got a defensive tackle down inside, and

2226
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: they got a pass rusher on the edge, Trent Murphy,

2227
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:34,439
Speaker 1: who has turned into an okay guy, not even he

2228
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,200
Speaker 1: would tell you wish he would, you know, stayed a

2229
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:38,320
Speaker 1: little healthier and been on the field a little more. Yeah.

2230
01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:41,240
Speaker 1: So all of those things that they did what they

2231
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 1: set out to do, particularly given the fact that they

2232
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:48,240
Speaker 1: had limited resources to do it. And then this year

2233
01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be they're gonna have money to spend, they're

2234
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna have draft picks to spend it on, and it's

2235
01:50:53,760 --> 01:50:55,880
Speaker 1: gonna be all really focused on the offensive side of

2236
01:50:55,920 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 1: the vault. Plus, unless something happens, they're not gonna lose

2237
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:03,360
Speaker 1: two really good players, Pro Bowl quality players and on

2238
01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:09,559
Speaker 1: their front offensive line without knowing about it beforehand, right right, Well,

2239
01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but it could be that, you know,

2240
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to lose two other guys. You don't

2241
01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:15,800
Speaker 1: want to lose poor year in hide either, right, I

2242
01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:17,880
Speaker 1: mean that could you know what I'm saying, Yeah, that

2243
01:51:18,040 --> 01:51:19,840
Speaker 1: kind of That's kind of what happened to them with

2244
01:51:19,960 --> 01:51:22,679
Speaker 1: the offensive line. So and now we're feeling the effects

2245
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:24,640
Speaker 1: of it even through the season. So as long as

2246
01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 1: something like that doesn't happen, somebody doesn't throw up, you know,

2247
01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 1: a wrench into the works and the plan, then yeah,

2248
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 1: it looks as though they are on pace to do

2249
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:36,000
Speaker 1: exactly what they said they were gonna do. And it's

2250
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:38,320
Speaker 1: the next step in that process. You know, it's gonna

2251
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:39,760
Speaker 1: be fun to see. I was just gonna say, you know,

2252
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:41,320
Speaker 1: sometimes you and I wonder what are we gonna do

2253
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:43,639
Speaker 1: when the season ends, what we're gonna talk about. We're

2254
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot to talk about with all that

2255
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:50,880
Speaker 1: free agency moves, lots of crazy Yeah, it's gonna be fun.

2256
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:54,240
Speaker 1: And it's the problem is, I mean, we're sitting in

2257
01:51:54,240 --> 01:51:57,599
Speaker 1: the building, but you know, nobody's you know, nobody's jumping

2258
01:51:57,640 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 1: on us telling you know, telling us. You know, we

2259
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:02,040
Speaker 1: Bran and Bean's not down here every day chit chatting.

2260
01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 1: So it's for as much about speculation as everybody else.

2261
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:07,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's fun to guess and to go down

2262
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:10,360
Speaker 1: and go through NFL contracts and law you know, I mean,

2263
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:13,720
Speaker 1: and all the websites that you can go to and like,

2264
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:17,840
Speaker 1: for instance, if you go to the wide Receiver website

2265
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 1: on over there, they'll give you all the contracts that

2266
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:22,000
Speaker 1: you can look at guys that are coming out, and

2267
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,160
Speaker 1: you can. At this point though we don't see him

2268
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:26,240
Speaker 1: on film, we don't watch him play, We don't know

2269
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 1: think enough about them to say, yeah, that guy looks

2270
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:31,760
Speaker 1: pretty good. You can look at his numbers, but is

2271
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:33,439
Speaker 1: he a culture fit? So well, we got lots of

2272
01:52:33,479 --> 01:52:35,960
Speaker 1: talk about what do you think which AFC team has

2273
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:37,880
Speaker 1: the brightest future? And by that we mean the next

2274
01:52:37,960 --> 01:52:40,280
Speaker 1: couple of years, two to four years, let's talk about it.

2275
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:43,120
Speaker 1: Eight three fifty and toll free one eight eight eight

2276
01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty time on the West side

2277
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:49,000
Speaker 1: of Buffalo. Hello time, Welcome to the show. Afternoon guys.

2278
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:51,840
Speaker 1: Hi Steve, I hope you enjoy the hockey game tonight.

2279
01:52:52,040 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 1: We need a win, Yes, we do. And I hope

2280
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,800
Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson stays in Buffalo because there'll be a starter

2281
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 1: that's interesting. We Yeah, we're not gonna probably talk about

2282
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:02,960
Speaker 1: that too much, but unlikely, isn't it time? Why would

2283
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,160
Speaker 1: he file for, you know, to be and I don't know,

2284
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,280
Speaker 1: permission to move If he's not gonna move, I don't

2285
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:09,439
Speaker 1: know why he would want to move after the success

2286
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 1: that he's had. But yeah, Hey, everybody's got to live

2287
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:14,400
Speaker 1: their own life, so we'll see. What do you say, Tom,

2288
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:17,000
Speaker 1: He would have to be as a starter for wherever

2289
01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:20,759
Speaker 1: he goes. Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna improve his record

2290
01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:23,840
Speaker 1: or his standings. I gotta tell you, Tom, I'd be

2291
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:25,479
Speaker 1: surprised if he did not move. I don't think you

2292
01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:28,439
Speaker 1: make you file for what was it, the transfer portal

2293
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:31,720
Speaker 1: unless you have an idea of where you're gonna go.

2294
01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:34,320
Speaker 1: And that's I read this. I didn't know this. It's

2295
01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:36,479
Speaker 1: likely happened in the next couple of weeks. Got to

2296
01:53:36,520 --> 01:53:38,080
Speaker 1: make his mind up. In January. I think right to

2297
01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:42,559
Speaker 1: be eligible next year. Okay, Well, I've been thinking about

2298
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 1: this for the last two hours, and I got to say,

2299
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:48,360
Speaker 1: it's the Bills and it's the quarterbacks have a lot

2300
01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:51,080
Speaker 1: to do with that, but it's more the stability of

2301
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 1: the coaching because Bill and Chuck said he's not gonna

2302
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:59,719
Speaker 1: coach after seventy Then you got Gays down in Miami.

2303
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:02,880
Speaker 1: He's getting a new GM and what says he's going

2304
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:05,040
Speaker 1: to keep him? Yeah, he might not even be around

2305
01:54:05,120 --> 01:54:07,840
Speaker 1: much longer after four pm Sunday right now. I don't

2306
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 1: think that. I don't think they'll make a move of

2307
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 1: that nature, but I don't know. Maybe so, yeah, I

2308
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:14,760
Speaker 1: get you. And the Jets have already made that call.

2309
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:16,680
Speaker 1: They're going to do something, or it sounds like they are.

2310
01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:20,320
Speaker 1: So I think it's got more to do with the

2311
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:24,160
Speaker 1: stability of the coaching plus the quality of the quarterback. Yeah.

2312
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:27,800
Speaker 1: Point he thought about it for two hours. I can

2313
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:30,280
Speaker 1: tell you no, seriously, those who are the two most

2314
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:33,240
Speaker 1: important components, the quarterback and the stability of the organization

2315
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:36,560
Speaker 1: around him. Yeah, and he's right, And plus the Bills

2316
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:38,040
Speaker 1: have all that other stuff we've been talking about all

2317
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:40,000
Speaker 1: these young players that they're that they've been finding out

2318
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:42,360
Speaker 1: about this season in a five and ten season thus far,

2319
01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:48,240
Speaker 1: both by choice and by good play, they've been plugged

2320
01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 1: in and played extremely well. Tremaine Edmonds has had a

2321
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:54,400
Speaker 1: solid rookie season and has become, you know, the the

2322
01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:58,480
Speaker 1: guy that guys look to. And it's been a significant

2323
01:54:58,480 --> 01:55:01,040
Speaker 1: step forward for all of those. And that's it's fun

2324
01:55:01,120 --> 01:55:03,720
Speaker 1: to see call here from Nick and ken More. Hello, Nick,

2325
01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 1: you're up? Go ahead? Yeah? How are you doing? Guys? Good?

2326
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:10,960
Speaker 1: All right? So I just want to know, Murph, what

2327
01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:13,960
Speaker 1: your issue with changes? You keep preaching like the one

2328
01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:15,840
Speaker 1: guy who called just had the big difference between the

2329
01:55:15,880 --> 01:55:18,880
Speaker 1: Bills and the Jets as the head coaching change. Why

2330
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 1: I change can absolutely be a positive thing. And I've

2331
01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:26,080
Speaker 1: heard nothing but bashing about what's going to happen when

2332
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:28,320
Speaker 1: Dolly Check and Brady are gone. You don't know who's

2333
01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:31,320
Speaker 1: coming after them. They could very well be just as great.

2334
01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:33,080
Speaker 1: It's not better, And the same with the Jets. You

2335
01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:35,200
Speaker 1: don't know who's coming in. So why are we so

2336
01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:37,680
Speaker 1: quick to say that just because they're getting a new

2337
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:42,480
Speaker 1: coach means they're trending downward? Well? Ask are you telling

2338
01:55:42,520 --> 01:55:45,080
Speaker 1: me Nick that when they change quarterbacks in New England,

2339
01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:47,080
Speaker 1: there's a chance they can wind up with somebody better

2340
01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:50,560
Speaker 1: than Tom Brady. Is that what you're saying? I mean,

2341
01:55:50,640 --> 01:55:54,960
Speaker 1: obviously it's very unlikely and nearly it is. What are

2342
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:57,160
Speaker 1: you telling me that you know for sure that's not

2343
01:55:57,240 --> 01:55:59,840
Speaker 1: going to happen. I don't know for sure, Nick, You're

2344
01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:03,080
Speaker 1: you're like, it won't happen if they if they bench

2345
01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:05,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Tom Brady retires, there is a chance

2346
01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:09,160
Speaker 1: they could get better. I will, I will. Yeah, I

2347
01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:11,280
Speaker 1: think you're crazy. I think it's crazy talk, Nick. But

2348
01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:14,440
Speaker 1: here's the big thing, Nick, And here's the thing. Those

2349
01:56:14,760 --> 01:56:17,680
Speaker 1: things you're bringing up are enormous questions that have to

2350
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 1: be answered, and you're and you have to admit, it's

2351
01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:27,360
Speaker 1: very highly unlikely that they get improved because Bill Belichick

2352
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:30,160
Speaker 1: retires or Tom Brady goes away. And it's very and

2353
01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:32,880
Speaker 1: it's a huge question mark as to whether immediately the

2354
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:35,720
Speaker 1: Jets get better with the same roster with a new

2355
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:38,720
Speaker 1: head coach. Certainly they've got a lot of money to

2356
01:56:38,760 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 1: spend in free agency, but those are that's a ripple

2357
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:44,760
Speaker 1: effect if big question marks that they have to answer

2358
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:49,560
Speaker 1: those questions don't exist in Buffalo. That's why you know

2359
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:52,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. The immediate future looks better in Buffalo

2360
01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:56,480
Speaker 1: than it does in those other two teams. Go ahead, Nick,

2361
01:56:56,520 --> 01:57:00,440
Speaker 1: what yes? Something else to add? Yeah, that was just example.

2362
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:03,400
Speaker 1: You guys just went hard hardpen on me for But

2363
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 1: my main point was for Blake, Trubisky and Goff went

2364
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 1: under coaching changes. That's right. Yeah, And I was more

2365
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 1: so looking at the Jets when I brought up this example.

2366
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:15,920
Speaker 1: I was just using the Patriots, as you know, you

2367
01:57:16,200 --> 01:57:18,240
Speaker 1: can't for that. You don't know what's coming after them.

2368
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: Even at half best is still better than half the league,

2369
01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:25,920
Speaker 1: so like. But for the Jets specifically, Donald could thrive

2370
01:57:26,120 --> 01:57:28,840
Speaker 1: under a new a new style, a new scheme. And

2371
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:31,920
Speaker 1: who's to say just because it's new this upcoming year

2372
01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:34,960
Speaker 1: it can't be effective immediately. Yeah, you're right too, that's right, Nick,

2373
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:37,480
Speaker 1: because you look back at Mitch Drubisky and the Chicago

2374
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:40,000
Speaker 1: Bears won a new head coach and they're a much

2375
01:57:40,040 --> 01:57:44,200
Speaker 1: better team. You look at the Chicago of the La

2376
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:47,680
Speaker 1: Rams and Goff two years ago when Sean McVay came

2377
01:57:47,720 --> 01:57:50,520
Speaker 1: in and they got better immediately, and then also with

2378
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:53,560
Speaker 1: the new head coach in Indianapolis Andrew with Andrew Luck

2379
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:56,000
Speaker 1: Frank Rik came in and they seemed to be back

2380
01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:59,040
Speaker 1: on track, although it took them six games or maybe

2381
01:57:59,080 --> 01:58:01,280
Speaker 1: half a season to find that. There's no question it

2382
01:58:01,400 --> 01:58:03,800
Speaker 1: could happen. But I think we've got a lot more

2383
01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:07,080
Speaker 1: examples of when it does take a big a stretch

2384
01:58:07,120 --> 01:58:12,280
Speaker 1: of time before the coach needs to before the coach

2385
01:58:12,560 --> 01:58:15,600
Speaker 1: sees success. And I'll tell you this, all of those

2386
01:58:15,680 --> 01:58:18,640
Speaker 1: places had just drafted a brand new quarterback, just like

2387
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:20,920
Speaker 1: the Jets did. So maybe you're right, maybe that does

2388
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:24,080
Speaker 1: point to a better result. But I'll say this, I've

2389
01:58:24,160 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 1: seen more teams make changes at a head coach and

2390
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:30,160
Speaker 1: go backwards a little bit than I have seen going forward,

2391
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:31,920
Speaker 1: despite the fact that I just mentioned the ones that

2392
01:58:32,040 --> 01:58:34,160
Speaker 1: we had seen in recent years that have done that.

2393
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:36,360
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to the quarterback. Maybe Sam

2394
01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:39,040
Speaker 1: Darnold is the ingredient that makes whatever head coach they pick,

2395
01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:42,080
Speaker 1: whoever it may be a great head coach. I don't know.

2396
01:58:42,400 --> 01:58:44,120
Speaker 1: Thanks Nick, We're back with the More One Goes Live

01:59:02,560 --> 01:59:06,040
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker time for New York State Lottery.

2400
01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:09,160
Speaker 1: Inside the Numbers, brought to you by New York State Lottery.

2401
01:59:09,200 --> 01:59:11,480
Speaker 1: Take a break from the expected play scratch off games

2402
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:13,840
Speaker 1: from the New York Lottery. For the last three years,

2403
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:16,000
Speaker 1: the season series between the Bills and the Dolphins has

2404
01:59:16,080 --> 01:59:18,600
Speaker 1: been a sweep for either team. But Buffalo was beating

2405
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:21,400
Speaker 1: Miami seven of the last eleven times they have played,

2406
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:24,600
Speaker 1: So if you look at sweeps, that would mean Miami

2407
01:59:24,640 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 1: would win Sunday. But the Bills have beaten them. They've

2408
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:29,560
Speaker 1: gone seven and four of the Dolphins. That tells us nothing.

2409
01:59:30,240 --> 01:59:32,920
Speaker 1: That tells us absolutely nothing about how Sunday's game might go.

2410
01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:35,800
Speaker 1: What did you think it was gonna be predictive? I thought, yeah,

2411
01:59:35,840 --> 01:59:38,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna meet something that analytics are

2412
01:59:38,920 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 1: not predictive. I can't saying that. You know. That's like

2413
01:59:42,680 --> 01:59:46,640
Speaker 1: second grade math. It means not me. I still don't

2414
01:59:46,720 --> 01:59:48,880
Speaker 1: use my second grade math course. All right, particular we

2415
01:59:48,960 --> 01:59:51,840
Speaker 1: go public, this will be the last time they get

2416
01:59:51,880 --> 01:59:55,160
Speaker 1: a chance to sip the coffee as we say, are

2417
01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:57,000
Speaker 1: you ready for this team? I am, I'm We've been

2418
01:59:57,040 --> 01:59:59,880
Speaker 1: talking about it all year. Head coach Sean McDermott sits

2419
02:00:00,160 --> 02:00:03,800
Speaker 1: with Chris Brown, two perfectly wonderful, steaming hot cups of

2420
02:00:03,920 --> 02:00:05,920
Speaker 1: coffee in front of them, and neither one of them

2421
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:08,240
Speaker 1: takes a sip. So here we go. Does it happen today?

2422
02:00:08,480 --> 02:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Coffee with the Coach presented by Tim Horton's Cafe and

2423
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Big Chap, the official coffee of the Buffalo Bills. Hello, everybody,

2424
02:00:15,840 --> 02:00:18,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to the week seventeen edition of Coffee with the Coach,

2425
02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:21,080
Speaker 1: presented by Tim Hortons. I'm Chris Brown along with Bill's

2426
02:00:21,080 --> 02:00:23,520
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott as the Bills get ready to

2427
02:00:23,560 --> 02:00:25,280
Speaker 1: close out the season at New air Of Field on

2428
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Sunday in the rematch with the Miami Dolphins. Coach is

2429
02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:31,440
Speaker 1: always thanks for being with us, so coach first and foremost.

2430
02:00:31,480 --> 02:00:34,320
Speaker 1: I know you've been asked plenty of times about Lorenzo

2431
02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:37,560
Speaker 1: Alexander in the past, but we know the leader he is.

2432
02:00:38,160 --> 02:00:40,040
Speaker 1: But when he is making he looked what they would

2433
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:41,840
Speaker 1: look like. There was three number fifty sevens on the

2434
02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:44,280
Speaker 1: field for you last week. When he can back up

2435
02:00:44,400 --> 02:00:47,720
Speaker 1: his leadership with that kind of play on the field,

2436
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:51,440
Speaker 1: what is the trickle down effect for your team with

2437
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:53,960
Speaker 1: a leader like that, well, it just makes the message

2438
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:57,200
Speaker 1: that much more real when you have a leader that

2439
02:00:57,320 --> 02:01:00,840
Speaker 1: backs it up with the play, really leading by example Chris,

2440
02:01:00,960 --> 02:01:03,360
Speaker 1: and and it's it's not just one game. It's not

2441
02:01:03,480 --> 02:01:06,960
Speaker 1: just UM the run game or the past game either.

2442
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:09,800
Speaker 1: It's it's both. It's every game. And then it's it's

2443
02:01:09,840 --> 02:01:11,760
Speaker 1: both the run and the past game. He plays different

2444
02:01:11,800 --> 02:01:14,640
Speaker 1: positions for us, and and the way he plays the

2445
02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:17,000
Speaker 1: game is the way we want to play as a team.

2446
02:01:17,640 --> 02:01:20,040
Speaker 1: Looking at your first game with the Dolphins, it was

2447
02:01:20,120 --> 02:01:22,120
Speaker 1: there for the taking, you came up with just a

2448
02:01:22,200 --> 02:01:24,840
Speaker 1: little bit short at the end. When you get a

2449
02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:27,880
Speaker 1: second crack and an opponent like you're going to this week,

2450
02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:31,800
Speaker 1: how in your experience, how much does it make the

2451
02:01:31,880 --> 02:01:35,400
Speaker 1: players maybe sharpen their focus even that much more getting

2452
02:01:35,440 --> 02:01:38,680
Speaker 1: that second chance right, Well, in particular when the first

2453
02:01:38,720 --> 02:01:40,480
Speaker 1: game doesn't work out the way you want it too,

2454
02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:42,560
Speaker 1: there's a competitive nature that comes out in all of

2455
02:01:42,680 --> 02:01:44,480
Speaker 1: us that it ramps it up a little bit more.

2456
02:01:44,520 --> 02:01:47,920
Speaker 1: And and so there's all and there's also a learning

2457
02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:51,880
Speaker 1: experience that comes from UM that first that first outing

2458
02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:55,320
Speaker 1: against an opponent UM. So we get information UM in

2459
02:01:55,480 --> 02:01:57,800
Speaker 1: terms of what we can do going around the next time,

2460
02:01:57,880 --> 02:01:59,640
Speaker 1: and and we're trying to use that to our advantage

2461
02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:02,040
Speaker 1: going into I know there has been a concerted effort

2462
02:02:02,120 --> 02:02:04,240
Speaker 1: these last couple of games to get young players on

2463
02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:06,960
Speaker 1: the field, get them valuable experience, allow you, guys to

2464
02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:09,960
Speaker 1: get an evaluation of them in a true game setting

2465
02:02:10,600 --> 02:02:13,280
Speaker 1: from a coaching perspective. They'll coach with these games at

2466
02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:19,000
Speaker 1: your disposal. Is there an interest to perhaps maybe even

2467
02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:24,480
Speaker 1: experiment yourself in certain game situations, to try different things too,

2468
02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:28,840
Speaker 1: just to maybe validate a theory you might have about something. Yeah,

2469
02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:31,840
Speaker 1: just a little bit maybe if the situation comes up,

2470
02:02:32,440 --> 02:02:35,560
Speaker 1: to try and work on some of our situational football

2471
02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:37,680
Speaker 1: that we've practiced and some of which has not come

2472
02:02:37,760 --> 02:02:40,280
Speaker 1: up in a game per se to this point. But

2473
02:02:40,440 --> 02:02:42,720
Speaker 1: you also don't want to force it at the expense

2474
02:02:42,800 --> 02:02:46,280
Speaker 1: of the team either at this point. So, but yes,

2475
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:47,960
Speaker 1: when I think you've got to be a little bit

2476
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:53,040
Speaker 1: more open to trying some of those those opportunities if

2477
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:56,040
Speaker 1: you get them within the game. All right, thanks for

2478
02:02:56,080 --> 02:02:57,840
Speaker 1: the insight on that, coach. Now it's time for our

2479
02:02:57,880 --> 02:03:00,440
Speaker 1: fan question of the week, an opportunity for you the

2480
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:03,960
Speaker 1: fan to ask coach a question. This week's question this

2481
02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:07,040
Speaker 1: is an interesting name doctor Snarky on Twitter, but he

2482
02:03:07,200 --> 02:03:10,600
Speaker 1: asks coach, as the off season approaches, how do you relax?

2483
02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:14,760
Speaker 1: What are your hobbies? Et cetera? Do you have any question?

2484
02:03:15,120 --> 02:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you're really probably more else, but

2485
02:03:18,720 --> 02:03:21,560
Speaker 1: he committed to My hobby is really trying to trying

2486
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:24,400
Speaker 1: to win a super Bowl, world championship here. But but no,

2487
02:03:24,520 --> 02:03:26,560
Speaker 1: in all seriousness, it's time to get away a little bit,

2488
02:03:26,640 --> 02:03:30,000
Speaker 1: trying and refresh. It's a long season and um, you know,

2489
02:03:30,080 --> 02:03:32,920
Speaker 1: get yourself ready to geared up for the offseason, free agency,

2490
02:03:33,040 --> 02:03:36,400
Speaker 1: the draft, and and and then also spend time with family.

2491
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm a big family guy and trying to recover or

2492
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:42,040
Speaker 1: make up for some lost time with my wife and

2493
02:03:42,120 --> 02:03:44,600
Speaker 1: kids and an extended family. All right, very good, Good

2494
02:03:44,680 --> 02:03:46,840
Speaker 1: luck closing out the season with a win against Mynami.

2495
02:03:47,120 --> 02:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Thanks coach, and thanks for all the time all season long.

2496
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate it. That's Bill's head coach, Coach McDermott.

2497
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:54,960
Speaker 1: This has been Coffee with the Coach, presented by Tim

2498
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Horton's Thanks for watching all season long. We'll see it

2499
02:03:57,560 --> 02:04:00,840
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Coffee safe. Another year of Coffee of

2500
02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:02,920
Speaker 1: the Coach, presented by Tim Horton's Cafe and Bake Shot,

2501
02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:05,720
Speaker 1: the official coffee of the Buffalo Bills. The way they

2502
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:08,240
Speaker 1: handled those cups. You have one right there, Tim Hortons

2503
02:04:08,280 --> 02:04:10,000
Speaker 1: cups right, It was clear there was not going to

2504
02:04:10,040 --> 02:04:12,200
Speaker 1: be any sipping going on. Right, you can't. I'm kidding.

2505
02:04:12,600 --> 02:04:14,280
Speaker 1: You've got something hot in here, Yeah, I do, and

2506
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:18,080
Speaker 1: taking hold it for four seconds, and I'm thinking that

2507
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:23,040
Speaker 1: it might be product placement rather than real coffee. Yeah, yeah,

2508
02:04:23,160 --> 02:04:25,000
Speaker 1: that's my point. Am I am? I onto something's an

2509
02:04:25,040 --> 02:04:29,080
Speaker 1: insult to Tim and the entire Horton's Cafe and Bake Shot.

2510
02:04:29,080 --> 02:04:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's an insult. You got Tim

2511
02:04:31,480 --> 02:04:33,360
Speaker 1: Horton's great cup of Tim Hortonson in front of you

2512
02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:35,760
Speaker 1: and you're ignored it. I think that's just sixteen We

2513
02:04:35,800 --> 02:04:37,840
Speaker 1: don't think they have actually have a cup of coffee.

2514
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:40,520
Speaker 1: I think it's just the cup. I'm just gonna go

2515
02:04:40,560 --> 02:04:42,680
Speaker 1: out on them and say that I'm just horrible. They

2516
02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:46,080
Speaker 1: can terrible, terrible. Hey, what do you think AFC East,

2517
02:04:46,120 --> 02:04:48,680
Speaker 1: Who's got the Who's got the brightest future in the

2518
02:04:48,760 --> 02:04:50,920
Speaker 1: next two to four years? From the tweet sheet, there

2519
02:04:50,920 --> 02:04:53,320
Speaker 1: a couple I saw here that I like, um from

2520
02:04:53,400 --> 02:04:56,840
Speaker 1: Big Daddy Cool. What a great name. Big Daddy Cool

2521
02:04:56,840 --> 02:04:59,240
Speaker 1: tweets in I'm a Dolphins fan, but we are a

2522
02:04:59,320 --> 02:05:02,040
Speaker 1: hot mess. I think the Bills are going to take

2523
02:05:02,040 --> 02:05:04,880
Speaker 1: New England spot. Wow, big Daddy Cool, that's cool. I

2524
02:05:04,960 --> 02:05:08,080
Speaker 1: guess a little bit overly optimistic, I guess. But the

2525
02:05:08,200 --> 02:05:11,080
Speaker 1: hot mess thing, I have to say, I was surprised

2526
02:05:11,200 --> 02:05:13,160
Speaker 1: Joe Rose an hour and a half ago. Boy, he

2527
02:05:13,320 --> 02:05:16,560
Speaker 1: was openly discussed yes, and that surprised me. Right, I

2528
02:05:16,640 --> 02:05:18,520
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, says I don't know if

2529
02:05:18,520 --> 02:05:20,880
Speaker 1: he's that negative on his show down. Well, okay, but

2530
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:23,160
Speaker 1: what surprised me is the acknowledgement that they're in trouble.

2531
02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:25,520
Speaker 1: They're a hot mess. I mean, Joe Rose just about said, yeah,

2532
02:05:25,520 --> 02:05:27,760
Speaker 1: we're a hot mess. We got players, the roster is

2533
02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:30,040
Speaker 1: not good. Play yeah, the roster's not good. Players going

2534
02:05:30,080 --> 02:05:32,000
Speaker 1: to the training room wondering if they can get the

2535
02:05:32,040 --> 02:05:34,440
Speaker 1: week off. I mean, that's a that's an ugly, ugly

2536
02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:37,480
Speaker 1: scenario down there with the general Lye Tannembaum on the

2537
02:05:37,560 --> 02:05:40,760
Speaker 1: way out, questions about the coaching, questions about the starting quarterback.

2538
02:05:40,800 --> 02:05:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean, holy cow, Yeah, you're right. We also have

2539
02:05:43,640 --> 02:05:45,880
Speaker 1: some more from the tweet sheet from Kenney Schunk. Upcoming

2540
02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:48,200
Speaker 1: off season will make or break the future, is what

2541
02:05:48,280 --> 02:05:50,800
Speaker 1: I was saying earlier. The defense is young and talented,

2542
02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:52,640
Speaker 1: the cap room and the draft picks are available. We

2543
02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:54,840
Speaker 1: need to upgrade the receivers and offensive weapons to get

2544
02:05:54,880 --> 02:05:57,160
Speaker 1: out on the tools to succeed. That's what it comes

2545
02:05:57,240 --> 02:05:59,760
Speaker 1: down to. And I've said it time and again, and

2546
02:06:00,080 --> 02:06:04,160
Speaker 1: particularly in the last segment. Pick the right players. Yeah,

2547
02:06:04,400 --> 02:06:06,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna have money, They're gonna have draft picks, They're

2548
02:06:06,440 --> 02:06:09,839
Speaker 1: gonna have opportunity whoever's available out there in twenty nineteen

2549
02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:12,800
Speaker 1: in the free agent market early in the year. That's

2550
02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:14,640
Speaker 1: how good the Bills are going to be able to be.

2551
02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:17,480
Speaker 1: And they're going to be in competition with the Jets.

2552
02:06:17,520 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of money to spend as well.

2553
02:06:19,120 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they're both those clubs are kind of in

2554
02:06:20,680 --> 02:06:24,160
Speaker 1: the same spot. I don't think they have exactly the

2555
02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:26,680
Speaker 1: same needs on both those teams, and that's interesting. We

2556
02:06:26,680 --> 02:06:29,880
Speaker 1: should we should kind of dive kind of go deep

2557
02:06:29,920 --> 02:06:31,640
Speaker 1: into that to see which you know, because we're gonna

2558
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:33,640
Speaker 1: be in competition with other teams that are looking for

2559
02:06:33,720 --> 02:06:36,640
Speaker 1: free agents, maybe at the same position group that we're

2560
02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:39,960
Speaker 1: looking for. So we'll see which AFC team is the

2561
02:06:40,040 --> 02:06:42,680
Speaker 1: brightest immediate future next two to four years. To the Phones,

2562
02:06:42,760 --> 02:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Jeff and West Seneca, Jeff, what do you think? Yeah,

2563
02:06:45,920 --> 02:06:47,560
Speaker 1: I'd have to go with the Jets on this just

2564
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:49,960
Speaker 1: because they got the second best quarterback in the draft.

2565
02:06:50,120 --> 02:06:53,360
Speaker 1: We got the third. Brady's still playing and I don't

2566
02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:55,520
Speaker 1: think is going to be coaching the Bills at the

2567
02:06:55,680 --> 02:06:59,480
Speaker 1: end of the twenty nineteen seasons. Seriously, why do you

2568
02:06:59,520 --> 02:07:01,280
Speaker 1: think they'll You don't think they're gonna be good enough

2569
02:07:01,360 --> 02:07:04,240
Speaker 1: this next year and that they've shown enough already that

2570
02:07:04,320 --> 02:07:08,240
Speaker 1: you've already gotten, You've you're already writing the obituary of

2571
02:07:08,320 --> 02:07:12,360
Speaker 1: this coaching staff. You know what happens if Victor mitstute

2572
02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 1: one and four in the first five? Well, what if

2573
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:17,040
Speaker 1: he if he starts four and one? Yeah, yeah, what

2574
02:07:17,120 --> 02:07:19,040
Speaker 1: happens if he starts out the first five? Are what

2575
02:07:19,200 --> 02:07:21,240
Speaker 1: happens if he starts out one and four and finishes

2576
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:24,720
Speaker 1: twelve and four. I don't think he'll get to game

2577
02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:27,800
Speaker 1: six he starts out one and four. Look what the pool,

2578
02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:32,880
Speaker 1: Look how he has done with Bilesma had Nolan, Rex

2579
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Ryan for a couple of years, you get a pass.

2580
02:07:34,800 --> 02:07:36,520
Speaker 1: But when you get the opportunity, if you don't try

2581
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:41,120
Speaker 1: and show signs of growth. Yeah, let me. I get

2582
02:07:41,160 --> 02:07:43,800
Speaker 1: what you're saying, Jeff, you're and I see what you

2583
02:07:43,840 --> 02:07:46,200
Speaker 1: start you for a second, jed are you're dismissing nine

2584
02:07:46,240 --> 02:07:50,360
Speaker 1: wins last year. That doesn't count. It counts. That's on

2585
02:07:50,520 --> 02:07:53,440
Speaker 1: his record too. Accounts you have to the chart's got

2586
02:07:53,480 --> 02:07:58,200
Speaker 1: to go up. You're trending down now. It's almost by design, Jeff,

2587
02:07:58,280 --> 02:08:01,480
Speaker 1: almost by uh does Let's get a rookie quarterback in

2588
02:08:01,560 --> 02:08:04,200
Speaker 1: here and play him a lot and develop him down

2589
02:08:04,320 --> 02:08:06,840
Speaker 1: the downward trams. There's no question nine wins to five

2590
02:08:06,960 --> 02:08:09,520
Speaker 1: or six wins, that's down. But it's almost by design.

2591
02:08:09,600 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 1: It's almost like there was an acknowledgement that we may

2592
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:15,000
Speaker 1: take a step back to get this rookie quarterback. Also, Jeff,

2593
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:18,880
Speaker 1: i'd caution you to make generalizations about the ownership group

2594
02:08:18,960 --> 02:08:22,320
Speaker 1: and how they handled even Rex Ryan. Let alone, you

2595
02:08:22,400 --> 02:08:26,000
Speaker 1: know the upper management in the hockey end of the business,

2596
02:08:26,120 --> 02:08:29,520
Speaker 1: where you know, it's a different sport, different atmosphere, different

2597
02:08:29,560 --> 02:08:32,520
Speaker 1: way of doing business. It's a it's different and I wouldn't.

2598
02:08:32,640 --> 02:08:35,680
Speaker 1: I would cond caution is to even making analogies as

2599
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:38,160
Speaker 1: to how patient they were or impatient they were with

2600
02:08:38,280 --> 02:08:41,640
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan. Um. This is a much different atmosphere. It's

2601
02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:44,640
Speaker 1: much different feel in this building. It's a much different

2602
02:08:44,680 --> 02:08:48,680
Speaker 1: way of doing business inside the bills walls than it

2603
02:08:48,840 --> 02:08:50,760
Speaker 1: was even two and a half years ago at the

2604
02:08:50,880 --> 02:08:54,080
Speaker 1: end of the Rex Ryan era. It's much different. And

2605
02:08:54,240 --> 02:08:58,120
Speaker 1: I think the ownership has also learned that they crave

2606
02:08:58,480 --> 02:09:00,680
Speaker 1: stability and they see the value of it. So don't

2607
02:09:01,080 --> 02:09:03,560
Speaker 1: think that just because they have done certain things with

2608
02:09:03,720 --> 02:09:06,760
Speaker 1: coaches in other sports and even in this building in

2609
02:09:06,880 --> 02:09:10,280
Speaker 1: the past, that that translates into exactly what they're gonna

2610
02:09:10,280 --> 02:09:13,040
Speaker 1: do here in the future. Don't think that they're going

2611
02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:18,720
Speaker 1: to don't characterize the owners I think, as being the

2612
02:09:18,960 --> 02:09:21,520
Speaker 1: reason for the change. I think the change was due

2613
02:09:21,560 --> 02:09:23,240
Speaker 1: to what was happening in the building. And I don't

2614
02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:25,800
Speaker 1: think what you're the thing that you're foreseeing. I don't

2615
02:09:25,840 --> 02:09:28,240
Speaker 1: think that's I don't think that's on the horizon. I

2616
02:09:28,360 --> 02:09:30,640
Speaker 1: really don't. Even if they do, even if they start out,

2617
02:09:30,680 --> 02:09:34,040
Speaker 1: oh and four, all right, thanks Jeff, appreciate it. What

2618
02:09:34,160 --> 02:09:35,840
Speaker 1: are we doing? Time watch? I take one more call

2619
02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:38,080
Speaker 1: or just go to break. No, you take one more call.

2620
02:09:39,040 --> 02:09:43,520
Speaker 1: Let's get that. Let's let's go to John, south of Jamestown.

2621
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:46,360
Speaker 1: What's south of Jamestown? John, It's Pennsylvania. Why don't you

2622
02:09:46,360 --> 02:09:51,160
Speaker 1: just say Pennsylvania. Let's die. Okay, we've had you on before,

2623
02:09:52,560 --> 02:09:56,000
Speaker 1: Western World, the whole road sleep to bust. Stop. There

2624
02:09:56,080 --> 02:09:58,440
Speaker 1: you go, man, glad and thanks for taking some time.

2625
02:09:58,520 --> 02:10:01,760
Speaker 1: What's on your mind? Well, I've been enjoying your show.

2626
02:10:01,880 --> 02:10:05,880
Speaker 1: Of course, in the future, in the next two to

2627
02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:10,400
Speaker 1: four years. Four years in football time is like geologic time. Yeah,

2628
02:10:10,600 --> 02:10:12,560
Speaker 1: you're right, and that's why we were gonna say two

2629
02:10:12,600 --> 02:10:14,040
Speaker 1: to five or three to five. But I thought, you

2630
02:10:14,120 --> 02:10:16,920
Speaker 1: know what, just you know, it's just like the end

2631
02:10:16,960 --> 02:10:19,520
Speaker 1: of this contract cycle kind of you know, so we

2632
02:10:19,760 --> 02:10:21,400
Speaker 1: kind of dropped off a year on each end. So

2633
02:10:21,520 --> 02:10:23,200
Speaker 1: two to four is about as much as we could go.

2634
02:10:23,360 --> 02:10:27,160
Speaker 1: But you're right, John, What are your thoughts with climate change?

2635
02:10:27,800 --> 02:10:32,840
Speaker 1: Level rise? Sea level rise could put the AFC East

2636
02:10:33,280 --> 02:10:36,520
Speaker 1: rivals all out of business? Yeah, you know, no Miami,

2637
02:10:36,640 --> 02:10:40,560
Speaker 1: no body, Yeah yeah, yeah, Well you're you're thinking big,

2638
02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:43,760
Speaker 1: you're thinking big. We're the only team that could ride

2639
02:10:43,840 --> 02:10:47,880
Speaker 1: that out. Hopefully it doesn't Hopefully we can just pick

2640
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:50,880
Speaker 1: draft picks and free agents and that'll do the trick.

2641
02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:53,880
Speaker 1: We don't have to go into the geological change. Like

2642
02:10:53,960 --> 02:10:56,120
Speaker 1: I like where your head's at though, John, Thanks, thanks

2643
02:10:56,200 --> 02:10:58,440
Speaker 1: very much. John. We gotta take a break here. He's yeah,

2644
02:10:58,600 --> 02:11:01,839
Speaker 1: maybe he's out to something. Maybe we count on the climate.

2645
02:11:02,120 --> 02:11:05,040
Speaker 1: Climate a logical So two hundred thousand years in the future,

2646
02:11:05,080 --> 02:11:07,720
Speaker 1: we are money because everybody else is gonna have to relocate. Yeah,

2647
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:11,440
Speaker 1: all the freshwater will be here. The coast will be

2648
02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:15,760
Speaker 1: like in Oneana will be the Atlantic coastline. Maybe it'd

2649
02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:17,840
Speaker 1: be better. You gotta break. We're coming back with more.

2650
02:11:17,960 --> 02:11:20,040
Speaker 1: One goes live from One Bill's Driving. This is Buffalo

2651
02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:40,080
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. What have we learned? Presented by Advanced Alarm

2652
02:11:40,200 --> 02:11:42,680

Speaker 1: and security and home theater the preferred alarment home theater

2654
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:49,080
Speaker 1: provider of the Buffalo Bills. We had Joe Rosan Dolphins

2655
02:11:49,200 --> 02:11:51,800
Speaker 1: radio analysts earlier today and he talked about how if

2656
02:11:51,840 --> 02:11:54,120
Speaker 1: you look at the AMC East, he thinks the Bills

2657
02:11:54,200 --> 02:11:58,760
Speaker 1: might have the brightest future. The Bills go out and

2658
02:11:58,880 --> 02:12:02,080
Speaker 1: play and here they all are weeks where they struggle

2659
02:12:02,160 --> 02:12:05,640
Speaker 1: to score. They got a brand new quarterback that they understand,

2660
02:12:05,800 --> 02:12:09,560
Speaker 1: and they play unless I'm missing something, Murph. You see

2661
02:12:09,560 --> 02:12:13,360
Speaker 1: it up close every week they play and they just

2662
02:12:14,120 --> 02:12:16,760
Speaker 1: they play like during every game and it's like a

2663
02:12:16,880 --> 02:12:20,520
Speaker 1: one score game late in the fourth every time they play.

2664
02:12:21,160 --> 02:12:23,200
Speaker 1: I like that, And I also happen to be And

2665
02:12:23,280 --> 02:12:25,200
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people we you know, we talked,

2666
02:12:25,280 --> 02:12:30,360
Speaker 1: aren't completely sold on your rookie quarterback. But I think

2667
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 1: he's got a little something to him. I'm really looking

2668
02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:35,240
Speaker 1: forward to seeing how much he grows over the next

2669
02:12:35,280 --> 02:12:38,960
Speaker 1: couple of years. Steve and I had to snap Joe

2670
02:12:39,040 --> 02:12:40,480
Speaker 1: Rose out of it. He was so down about the

2671
02:12:40,520 --> 02:12:43,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins prospects of this game. All you had to do

2672
02:12:43,480 --> 02:12:44,720
Speaker 1: is talk about the Bills. All they want to do

2673
02:12:44,760 --> 02:12:47,560
Speaker 1: is talk about the Bills process. We forget everybody else

2674
02:12:47,680 --> 02:12:50,280
Speaker 1: got problems too, Yeah, right, kind of forget. You focus

2675
02:12:50,360 --> 02:12:52,440
Speaker 1: on where your shortcomings and where you can't score. We

2676
02:12:52,480 --> 02:12:55,200
Speaker 1: can't score pollings got to like young guys, offensive line struggling,

2677
02:12:55,280 --> 02:12:58,840
Speaker 1: can't run the ball. Everybody else got issues too. You know,

2678
02:12:59,400 --> 02:13:01,000
Speaker 1: some of them were come a rule better, but a

2679
02:13:01,080 --> 02:13:02,920
Speaker 1: lot of them got issues that they're dealing with on

2680
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:05,280
Speaker 1: Twitter today. We asked the question and talk about it

2681
02:13:05,360 --> 02:13:07,440
Speaker 1: on the phone. So who's got the brightest future among

2682
02:13:07,520 --> 02:13:10,640
Speaker 1: the AFC East Division teams next two to four years?

2683
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:13,200
Speaker 1: No surprise here, I guess the Bills clearly were the

2684
02:13:13,360 --> 02:13:16,080
Speaker 1: number one choice. Seventy three percent said the Bills, eighteen

2685
02:13:16,120 --> 02:13:18,920
Speaker 1: percent said the Jets, seven percent said the Patriots, two

2686
02:13:18,960 --> 02:13:21,240
Speaker 1: percent said the Dolphins. We'll have another Twitter poll and

2687
02:13:21,320 --> 02:13:22,920
Speaker 1: more fun with that tomorrow and a good show coming

2688
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:25,600
Speaker 1: up tomorrow Friday, before the final home game of the season.
