6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: in terms of free agency, the moves the Buffalo Bills

7
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: have made thus far, the moves that could be made

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: in the next couple of days. Is Brandon mean done?

9
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,600

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: you guys enter into the weekend. We just had this conversation.

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: You know so much. We run from one to three

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: every day, and we had a ton of stuff to

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: talk about yesterday Von Miller, Jordan Phillips. Now it's being

19
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: reported Shack Lawson could be in the mix. All you know,

20
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: all this stuff's happening, and then last night, Davante Adams,

21
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the NFL, the biggest move, so

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: it gets traded, and so by that happens and it's

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: and it's it's giant, it's a huge, huge story and

24
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: because of its implications, and now you get in here

25
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: today and it's like, well, yeah, okay, that was yesterday.

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do today. It's like not even

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: twenty four hours old, and we're like done with Davante

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Adams trade. And we didn't even get a chance to

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: talk about it on the show. No we didn't. It's crazy.

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: Too much going on one Bill's Dark free agency, moves

31
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: after dark, the things that happen at night, the things

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: that happened early in the morning. You turn on your

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: TV today if you're watching some sports networks, people are

34
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: tired now. And we have gone to Friday a free agency.

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm feeling it a little bit, but I mean some

36
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: of the analysts that literally have to cover every single move.

37
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: Poor NFL. They've gotten little sleep. The NFL network. They

38
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: got this thing, NFL Live or NFL count at whatever

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: it is, and they're out. They had they were up

40
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: last night live talking about Davonte Adams. I'm looking at

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: like it's like nine o'clock at night and it's a grind.

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And Twitter. It's because of social media,

43
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook and all the stuff it is Instagram.

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: You know, Von von Miller's blopping stuff up on social

45
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: and so are the Bills. You know, they're putting their

46
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: stuff up with Vaughan and then with you know, Tim

47
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Settle and all these guys and ten today, five minutes

48
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: before we come on the on the show, it drops

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: again has been rooted Starl. He is released by the

50
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. UM Sean McDermott spoke to the media yesterday.

51
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: He was asked about Star and his future in Buffalo,

52
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: and Sean said, you know what, we'll see. We're gonna

53
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: take it one step at a time. And then less

54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: than twenty four hours later, the Bills go ahead and

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: release Star. It's a crowded room among defensive linemen here

56
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I mean they add von Miller. Jordan Phillips

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: reports our Shack Lawson is coming back to Buffalo to

58
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: Kwon Jones, Tim Settle. That's a handful of new players

59
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: plus the guys who are already on the roster, so

60
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: it would have been a tight room anyways, It's going

61
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: to be a tight room in terms of who's going

62
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: to make this roster. How many guys are they going

63
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: to keep. That was a big storyline going into last

64
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: season when they had to have the official numbers on

65
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: the roster ready to go. The Bills kept a lot

66
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: of defensive linemen on their roster last season. Yeah, they

67
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: get like ten and I can never be a couple

68
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: two at least guys inactive every week. Yeah, and then

69
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, and there goes. I mean that they like

70
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: rotating those guys through and there's a lot of plus

71
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: side up to it. If you can get high level

72
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: of play from all those guys. Obviously, it makes a

73
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: difference because you got fresh legs going and gets the

74
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: same five offensive linemen all the time. You get in

75
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: the second half and the offensive lineman have played sixty

76
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: snaps and each defensive lineman has played fifteen to thirty snaps.

77
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: It's a big difference when you get fresh legs in there. Plus,

78
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: injuries are easier to overcome when you get one guy

79
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: out of ten injured instead of one guy out of

80
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: four injured. You know, so it's a huge difference maker

81
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: in the long term rotation throughout a long season. Miss

82
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: a guy here for a game, okay, you can cover

83
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: for him. There, miss a different guy the next game,

84
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: you can cover for him. It's a lot of upside

85
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: to it. And I think that's a great philosophy for

86
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: the Bills. They only rush for a lot, not all

87
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: the time. They will bring pressure once in a while,

88
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: but they bring four a lot. Drop seven into coverage

89
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: makes it tough to find a spot to throw it to.

90
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: It has served them well in a statistical sense because

91
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: their defense is top five virtually every year it had

92
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: except for twenty twenties, the only time they weren't. So

93
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: it's it's a great philosophy. It's worked well for them,

94
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: you can, and I think it's going to continue even

95
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: with the assigning of these new guys who may be

96
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: playing great or may. They rotate them in and out

97
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: and keep them fresh. And the reason why they rush

98
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: for and they like to rotate four, and they really

99
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: only want to put the work on four going after

100
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback unless they decide to send a guy blitzing,

101
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: is because there's too many people you have to cover

102
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: on the back end. Now in today's NFL, you can't

103
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: afford to be rushing a fifth or a sixth guy

104
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: every single down. You have to have that power from

105
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: your front four, and you have to trust them if

106
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: you're running a base four three defense, which the Bills

107
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: we've talked about it yesterday, is really a four two

108
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: defense because of the nickel coverage that they constantly stay in.

109
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: You can't afford to be sending extra guys all the

110
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: time just because of the wide receivers the running backs

111
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: that can catch balls out of the backfield. Now you

112
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: have to match everybody up to limit a team's offense.

113
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: And Leslie Frasier has hit that point home since he's

114
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: been here of we want to rush four. We need

115
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: to get everything from our front four. They have a

116
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: lot of guys in that room. Now they're going to

117
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: have the ability to rotate just like they did last season.

118
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: So it'll be fun to see how it plays out.

119
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: I actually ran into Leslie Frasier today in the hallway

120
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: as I was walking up to go get a coffee

121
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: this morning, and he was excited about the move with

122
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Von Miller. I mean, he had a big smile on

123
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: his face. I said Leslie, what a day yesterday. It's

124
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: an exciting time to be in this building, he said, yeah,

125
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: it really is. So it was good to see him.

126
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: It's always good to catch up with some of those guys,

127
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: especially now that the building is back open. You make

128
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: a great point, Mattie, because you look at look at

129
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: the AFC itself. You know, Joe Burrows got those three guys,

130
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: he's thrown two. Pat Mahomes got those three guys he's

131
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: thrown too, at least two with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey,

132
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: Derek cars now has you know, Davante Adams, Justin Herbert's

133
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: got Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, Robert Woods. All these teams

134
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: are throwing out three solid, if not really good, wide receivers.

135
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: The Bills are the same way, they throw out Steph

136
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Diggs now, Gabe Davis now, Isaiah McKenzie and Dawson Knox

137
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: into the mix. All these teams are throwing out all

138
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: these receivers and it's a throwing league now, and you can't.

139
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: You're not going to have a defensive lineman dropping the

140
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: coverage every It's a matchup problem. It's a matchup problem.

141
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: There's not that many good corners for each team. So

142
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: if you go down three deep and receiver a three

143
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: deep in corner and you've only got really two that

144
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: you trust. The third guy's a problem because with God

145
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: with offensive coordinates, particularly the one we've had Brian day Ball,

146
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: he'll he'll motion and shift and switch out people, and

147
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: the first thing you know is your third corners on

148
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: their number one guy. He's got it. He put you

149
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: in a place where your defensive calls and your checks

150
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: and balances when you check out of this because of

151
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: this formation, you check right into where your third corner

152
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: is one on one with Steph Diggs. That's a problem

153
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: and coaches that's what coaching staffs do in the NFL.

154
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: So you bring up a great point, you're only gonna

155
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: rush three or four guys. You can't rush five because

156
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: then you're automatically thin in the back end and they

157
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: got all these guys running free. It's a problem. So

158
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: the fewer guys you can rush, that can bring consistent

159
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: pressure and at least if you don't get a sack.

160
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: And this is the philosophy that Bills fans kind of

161
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: get tired of, and US two. The philosophy is this

162
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: at least the ball's got to come out on time.

163
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: We may not get there, we may not get fifty sacks,

164
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: but the ball has to come out. That's the philosophy

165
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: that has worked for the Buffalo Bill. Yeah, and if

166
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback hangs onto the ball for one or two

167
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: more seconds, then go down. Yeah, then he does go down.

168
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: That's That's another point that Leslie likes to make is

169
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: the sack numbers. We don't necessarily care about them that

170
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: much because all we really want to do is affect

171
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback and give our guys a chance on the

172
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: back end to make a play. It all works together,

173
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: they're all working together. The defensive line is important to

174
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: the secondary because the secondary can go move if they

175
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: have the freedom, if they have that extra second to

176
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: really guard an elite wide receiver. And we've seen this

177
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: defense do this last year. I mean, they were one

178
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: of the best in the NFL. They finished as the

179
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: best in the NFL. Made a lot of splash plays.

180
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: I mean, our safeties had a huge amount of interceptions.

181
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: They combine for the most interceptions out of a tandem

182
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: in the NFL this past season. So I'm expecting more

183
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: out of that group this come year, and I want

184
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: to get more into the AFC and the landscape of

185
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: how it looks now that some of the DestinE dustin

186
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: Free Agency has settled. Later on in the show, but

187
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: we can recap kind of what went on yesterday, because

188
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: yesterday was such a busy day here at one Bill's Drive.

189
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: And it was funny because we were on the show

190
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: and we're like, we might get some of these players.

191
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: We know they're in the building. Some of them haven't

192
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: signed their contracts yet, they're going to do media availability.

193
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: We're not sure if the press conferences are going to

194
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: begin by the time we're off the air. Well, here's

195
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: how the story went. Tim Suttle came on at two o'clock,

196
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: so we were able to carry Tim Suttle alive, which wow,

197
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: the energy and the passion that he already has about

198
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: being here in Buffalo to see his little kid, Tim

199
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: the third so adorable. So that was fun to hear

200
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: and to be a part of. But then we waited

201
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: a lot, so we went off air, and then I

202
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: headed down to the stadium the press conference room where

203
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: the press conferences were being held, which, by the way,

204
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: awesome to be in person and not over zoom for those,

205
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: so we got to hear from Von Miller and O. J. Howard.

206
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,239
Speaker 1: We also got to hear from Jordan Phillips and Sean McDermott,

207
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: and we're going to have that sound later in the show,

208
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: some amazing soundbites to come out of that. But we

209
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: wrapped up. I think about seven o'clock is when the

210
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: press conferences ended, and then I'm going, oh, okay, now

211
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: it's time to write the story. So I finished up

212
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: with a von Miller feature last night at midnight Free Agencies,

213
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: wild Man. But it was one of those days to

214
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: be off season. It's the off season, but you know

215
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: how the off season works. It's up and down and

216
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: up and down, and it's one of those days you

217
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: have fomo if you miss out, that's right. And here's

218
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the thing as well, we ended the season no one

219
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: and Bill's fans still feel this way, and they'll always

220
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: feel this way. The players and coaches certainly feel this way.

221
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: It's a missed opportunity. You're playing so well, it's such

222
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: a high level right at the time you needed to

223
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: and and you're like one play away from going advancing,

224
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: and it's you feel like it's a missed opportunity and

225
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: you grow so affectionate towards all the players on the roster.

226
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: You watch every snap and you live and die with

227
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: it and the way it goes. And it's a sad

228
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: thing to end a season like that. Where and and

229
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: just today we mentioned Star Lotulele has been released. H

230
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley was released yesterday, Harrison Phillips has signed with

231
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. Other you know, so there's a whole

232
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: list of guys that are you know, team looks different,

233
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: it looks different. But then Von Miller walks in the door.

234
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: Tim Suttle walks in the door. You know, uh o.

235
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: J Howard walks in the door. You know, de Quan

236
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: Jones walks in the door. And all of a sudden,

237
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: it's like, ohh here, you know, this is wow, this

238
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: this is gonna be really fun, you know what I mean.

239
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: It's a crazy tra It is an unbelievable transition being

240
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: like bummed about some of the guys you really enjoy

241
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: and on the team you're gonna Yeah, it's weird to

242
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: go from the sadness to the immediate happiness of seeing

243
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: new players on the roster. And that's something we go

244
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: and luckily, I mean you've been a part of it

245
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: too as a player. You know what it's like to

246
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: see you guys leave and to see new guys come in, right, happily,

247
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: the guys that come in buying law almost to a man, happily,

248
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: all those guys are just the same kind of guy

249
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: as you just said goodbye to. And you don't lose though,

250
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like they you know, those guys

251
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: go to Mars, you never see them again, you know,

252
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: or they you know, somehow they're in a funeral or something. No,

253
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, you're still their buds. You know, you go

254
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: back and you talk to him, You keep in touch

255
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: with them when they go to their teams and that

256
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And it's just an ability when you

257
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: go in the locker room, it's just you know, the

258
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: family's just bigger now, right, And you get these new

259
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: teammates to come in and they bring their own personalities

260
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: and their own skill sets and their own fun and

261
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: challenges and all that stuff to the table, and you

262
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: just realize why it's so great to be a part

263
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: of it, particularly when you're at a team. The culture

264
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: like the Bills have were the reason some of these guys.

265
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: One of the bonuses that they get coming here and

266
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: considerations they make before they decide is how cool the

267
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: culture is and how how great. Guys leaving here say

268
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: that it is, and the guys that play here say

269
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: that it is, so they can't wait to be a

270
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: part of it. That's a great spot to be and

271
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: it's and it adds something to the attitude or the

272
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: new guys coming in, and it's you know, it just

273
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: leaves you, you know, looking for you know, Sunday at

274
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: one o'clock to hurry up and get here so they

275
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: can kick it off. Yeah. And I feel like as

276
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Bills fans and as people as that follow this team

277
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: and work for this team, maybe the narrative of the

278
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: culture kind of gets a little saturated because we hear

279
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: it so much, take it for granted. And you take

280
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: it for granted because it is not the case everywhere.

281
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: And I have been a part of teams not in

282
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo where that has not been the case, and players

283
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: don't talk about the culture, then it's not even a storyline.

284
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: And you can feel it when it's not right, you

285
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: can feel it when it is right. And I thought

286
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: it was really unique and cool to hear Von Miller

287
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: talk about the culture in Buffalo as if he has

288
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: been playing here for like five years already. He talked

289
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: so confidently and was name dropping guys who aren't even

290
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: starters on this roster. Yesterday in his introductory press conference

291
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: and went into detail about the research that he did

292
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: in terms of reaching out to people and calling people

293
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: like like Stefon Diggs to figure out what the locker

294
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: room was like in Buffalo, what the culture was like. Instead,

295
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: he even reached out to Steph as early as the

296
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: first year that Steph was in Buffalo. So I thought

297
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: that was amazing. We know how special the culture is here.

298
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: You know how special it has been doing during year

299
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: playing days. And that goes a long way, because if

300
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: there isn't something special and worth paying for in the

301
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: locker room, problems happen so easily. The group can become divided. Yeah,

302
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: it's not fun. It makes a difference. Yeah, And here's

303
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: the thing. And you've played competitive sports as well, and

304
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: I have as well, and you see this at a

305
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: higher and higher level. It really becomes evident, Like like

306
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: for instance, in the NBA where the rosters are small,

307
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: it's the same thought in football in the NFL when

308
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: the rosters are so big, fifty three guys plus a

309
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: twelve guys on a practice squad, so you know you've

310
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: got like seventy guys hanging around, it's still the exact

311
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: same attitude. Because you want to want, you want to

312
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: go to work, you want to love going to work,

313
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: you want to look forward to it. When it's not there,

314
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: it's really hard to dredge up, you know, the attitude

315
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: to go to work and not And and you say, well,

316
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: not everybody enjoys their job. Let me tell you not.

317
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: Every job demands that you pour your heart, soul, and

318
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: emotion into every game and your physical and risk physical

319
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: health every game. It's hard to go out there and

320
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: bust up a wedge or try and block a punt,

321
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: or take on a double team or fight through a block,

322
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: or you know, to go out there and physically compete,

323
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: and it's you're gonna be uncomfortable, it's gonna hurt, you're

324
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: gonna be in pain, you're risk injury, and you're probably

325
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna get injured. That's a lot to ask. Is somebody

326
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: who doesn't enjoy going to work to do that for

327
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: their job. And it shuts down, The shuts down the

328
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: enthusiasm of the entire team. When that's the atmosphere, there's

329
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: just no enthusiasm. And without that, you lose the emotional

330
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: edge and the emotional content you need to compete at

331
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: a high level. You see it with the Bills weekend

332
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: week out during the regular season. Those guys come out

333
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: and you know, you got a guy like Josh jumping

334
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: over people and making these plays and the energy. You know, guys,

335
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: god rallied that Jo loves it. Guys love Josh, Josh

336
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: loves them. They love each other. Let's go and when

337
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: you're out there and with guys who aren't like that,

338
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm here and I'll do my thing. But I'm just

339
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: trying to get through this. Yeah, that's that is the

340
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: difference between the best teams in the league and the

341
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: worst one. I'm telling you, it's the difference between a

342
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: fourteen and three team or thirteen and four team and

343
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: a three and fourteen team. That is the difference. Is

344
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: the difference, and winning changes everything, and yes, money talks

345
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. But I also want

346
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: to bring up another point that I think draws people

347
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. That players aren't maybe expecting when they get here,

348
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: just because Buffalo is a newer team in terms of

349
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: making it to the playoffs every single season. And I

350
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: had somebody tweet at me and ask me about this,

351
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: and it's the facility, the training complex, the weight room,

352
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: everything that they can do in the training facility in

353
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: terms of red light therapy, saunas, you know, pools that

354
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: you can rehab in. That is not the norm in

355
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I know your everyday person is saying,

356
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: why isn't that the norm? Why don't they have the

357
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: best of the best. You just need a you you

358
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: need some things, you need your staples, you need a

359
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: weight room, you need a training complex. But ownership doesn't

360
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: have to invest in getting a huge weight room with

361
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: a lot of different equipment, with new age equipment, with

362
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: things like cryotherapy, changers, chambers, with things like red light

363
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: therapy and X y Z. It's all here in Buffalo.

364
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. And here's the thing too, Maddie, most clubs,

365
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: and it's getting to the point where a lot of

366
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: clubs understand that stuff and we'll have cold tubs and

367
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Here's the difference here in Buffalo that

368
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: I that I've noticed, and I don't know what it's

369
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: like in other teams. All I've noticed it's it's the

370
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: way it is here and it hasn't always been. Is

371
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: that not only do they have all that stuff, laser

372
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: therapy and acupuncture and all that, it's it's staffed so

373
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to go out and say, how do

374
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: I do that? They got people here in this building

375
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: that work with these guys day and dad. They're waiting

376
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: for these guys to come in, and that means it

377
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: used to be and it still is this way for

378
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: a lot of teams. The guys at the top end

379
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: of the pay scale, the guys that are making you know,

380
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: seven figure or eight figures, they do that. They have

381
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: to do it themselves. They go out and they find

382
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: their own massage therapists, they go out and do their

383
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: own cryotherapy, They go out and do their own acupuncture,

384
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: they go to this place for whatever, all the stuff

385
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: that they do, chiropractors, all of that stuff, they go

386
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: out and they take care of it themselves because they

387
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: realize how important it is, and they pay for it themselves.

388
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: Right Buffalo, They got all that here, They like, we

389
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: got you. It is literally all here. They got you.

390
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: It's wild, yes, and the other thing that people compare

391
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: it to and kind of wonder, why is it the

392
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: way that it is. Colleges have this power five conference

393
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: football schools who win games, who get big recruits, who

394
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: make it to their conference championship game, who are in

395
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: big bowl games, who want to make it to the

396
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: College Football Playoff, they have all that. They have what

397
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills have because they have to recruit. They

398
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: have to recruit five star, four star talent, so you

399
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: have to have those flashy, big things. There's an element

400
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: of recruiting in the NFL, but not to the point

401
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: of where it is with college football. You legitimately have

402
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: to recruit players in college football to be able to

403
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: get them. And I know it's changed a lot with

404
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: now guys are being able to get paid for doing

405
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: certain things, but when I worked in college football, you

406
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: had to sell people on the equipment you had, on

407
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: the wins that you had last season, on the coaching

408
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: staff that you had. In the NFL, like I said,

409
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: money talk, So every single team doesn't need to have

410
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: what the Bills have in terms of a weight room

411
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: and the training facility. They just don't. They don't have

412
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: to have it. They don't want to pay the millions

413
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: of dollars if their ownership doesn't want to. Yeah, that's

414
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: okay said. And another thing too is you know, like

415
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: I said that the top end guys do that for

416
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: themselves or have to do that for themselves in other places. Here,

417
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: the fifty third guy and the practice squad have access

418
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: to that. And if you'll think back to the end

419
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: of the regular season this past year, the Bills are

420
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: going into Week eighteen, they are and going into wildcard

421
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: weekend against the Patriots where it's win and survive. They're

422
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: completely one percent healthy. Every single guy on the roster

423
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: is ready to go. That's not by coincidence. They are.

424
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: Certainly Trey White was hurt, Justin Zimmer was hurt. You know,

425
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: those guys had season enders, and I get it. But

426
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: for the guys who are actually ready, active and ready

427
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: to go, they had all fifty three guys absolutely one

428
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy, no issues at all, and headed into

429
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: the plus playing at a high level. Yeah, they had it.

430
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: This organization with McDermott and this coaching staff had those

431
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: guys right where they wanted to be headed into the

432
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: playoffs and A big part of it is what happens

433
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: just on the other side of the wall here with us.

434
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: The bills have been really healthy over the last two seasons.

435
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: And maybe not your starters, but maybe your starters would

436
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: would pay the extra money to go to get cryotherapy

437
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: if they needed to. But some of your second tier,

438
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: third tier, you your second and third string players who

439
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: aren't making as much money as the starters, maybe they

440
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: don't think of that as a necessity. Maybe don't They

441
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: don't think of that extra rehab that they're going to

442
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: have to pay for on their own is something they

443
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: need to do. But it's free here in Buffalo. And O. J.

444
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: Howard yesterday, the new tight end on this team, was

445
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: walking through the training facility and said this in his

446
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: press conference that he was super impressed with the facility.

447
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: This is a kid who came from Alabama who had

448
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: everything at his fingertips and for him to say he

449
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: was impressed with it speak volumes to what is here? Yeah,

450
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: and it is um Not only is it you know

451
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 1: they can they have access to it, but now because

452
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: it's in the building, because they have people on staffing,

453
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: they can schedule it without having to like get all

454
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: their work done here at the stadium, then go out

455
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: and at nine at night. They got to get it

456
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: taken care of, or they got to do it on

457
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: their own time. They got to schedule it into their day.

458
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: They can be here fit it in more easily and

459
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: then get and then get out and go home and

460
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: get off their feet and do spend time with their

461
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: family and makes their quality of life away from the

462
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: field a lot that that much better. It's one less

463
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: thing that their support crew, whether it's their wife, their girlfriend, whatever,

464
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: of their family, their mom, their dad, whoever is helping them,

465
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, their support crew here in this they don't

466
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: have to take care of it, and they can. You know,

467
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: it's one thing off of their plate. I can't. It

468
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: sounds like and it is. But if you're going to

469
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: ask these guys to do what you're asking them to

470
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: do with their with their bodies, man, give them a

471
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: chance to make it in the season like that. And

472
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: and this is huge longer, right, Yeah, it ain't get

473
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: eighteen weeks now in the regular seas. It's gonna get

474
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna be nineteen pretty soon. They're gonna have an

475
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: eighteenth regular season game before too long. I bet you

476
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: it's in certainly within a decade they're gonna have eighteen games,

477
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: two preseason games and often run and it's it seems

478
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: like the perfect, perfect amount. But we'll see, yeah, we'll see. It's. Um,

479
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: it's a big plus. You see all the guys that

480
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: come here talk about it. Um, they don't talk about

481
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: and they do talk about it, but it's not like

482
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: when they most cities they go to, they ask LA,

483
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. They don't talk anything about the

484
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: facilities or anything like that. They talk about the city

485
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: and the weather and the la And here in Buffalo

486
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: it's it's about the football and the and the what

487
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: they're doing in the building. Yeah. Um, And it makes

488
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: a difference. It's a subtle difference, but it does make

489
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: a difference. I think. Yeah, a lot of different factors

490
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: draw players to Buffalo, and it's definitely been heightened and

491
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: has increased over the last three years with the growth

492
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen, with how far Buffalo has made it

493
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, with the path there on, with the

494
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: culture in the locker room, with the facilities that they have,

495
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean, so many different reasons why Buffalo has become

496
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: an attractive destination to so many people. Other than talking

497
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,400

509
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, which is presented by Clyde

510
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. What's good, Bills Mafia. I

511
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: don't play on this field fifty million times, no dub

512
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: when I'm back and we're getting big doubs now, baby,

513
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, man, I'm so excited to be here. Man,

514
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: let's get this super Bowl so cool. Von Miller say

515
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: he's played on the field, maybe not fifty million times,

516
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: but it's interesting that that's what he had to say.

517
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: In his little selfie video that he's played on that

518
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: field but hasn't gotten a dub. I think he's one

519
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: in three against the Bills. Yeah, so decided, you know what,

520
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: if you can't beat him, then just join up this.

521
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: He was on the on the Denver Broncos in twenty twenty,

522
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: the year before last, when the Bills went in and

523
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: lumped him up forty seven to whatever. Whatever. Yeight, yeah,

524
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: no wonder he wants to play with Josh. Josh lit

525
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: him up, I mean lit him up. So yeah, Von Miller.

526
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: It was cool because this video and those of you

527
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: watching on MSG watched it was a video that we

528
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: just heard from Von Miller and it starts out with

529
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: just him he can't tell where he's at, and he

530
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 1: lifts it up and he's in the stadium with you know,

531
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: with high Mark in the background, right down on the field.

532
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. Yeah. So he came in yesterday, he

533
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: got to tour the facility, he got to meet a

534
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: lot of the coaches, signed his contract, went over to

535
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: high Mark Stadium, and then did his press conference, his

536
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: introductory press conference, and we actually have some sound from

537
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: that press conference. He had several really really good bites.

538
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: If you haven't read the story that's up on Buffalo

539
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: bills dot com, please do so because it is a

540
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: great wrap up of his introductory press conference and a

541
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: little a little plug for me there. I spent a

542
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: lot of time on it. I wanted to make it good,

543
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: so I hadn't read it if you haven't, But let's

544
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: hear from von Miller on on how he had designs

545
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: on Buffalo maybe before you then thought he did. I've

546
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: been a big fan of the Bills for a long time.

547
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: You know, I thought I was gonna be a Buffalo

548
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: Bill when I first got drafted. Um. Denver came, you know,

549
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, Um the day before the draft, and

550
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, I got winned I was gonna be a

551
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: different Bronco. But that whole offseason, I thought I was

552
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a Buffalo Bill. I had already bought into

553
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I had Buffalo Bills gear. Um I

554
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: knew about the Bills mafia, you know, I knew how

555
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: I knew how much this team meant to this uh,

556
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: this community, and um I was. I was okay with

557
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: it back then, and I'm definitely okay with it now.

558
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited to go win. I'm excited to

559

Speaker 1: go win the Super Bowl. UM in this city. I'm

560
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: excited to see Bills Mafia go crazy. I'm excited for

561
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: all the things that this uh, that this special place

562
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: up brings. And you know, they were already gonna be

563
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: good without me, They're already gonna win the Super Bowl

564
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: without me. And it's an honored their privilege to be

565
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: a part of. I knew Josh Allen before he before

566
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: he came here, thought he was gonna be a Denver

567
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: bronco You know, we took we took Bradley Chubb, that's

568
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: my nnimmate, that's my brothers Will. But I thought it

569
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: was gonna take Josh Allen. And Josh Allen came here

570
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: and became a creature, became a became a superstar quarterback.

571
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: And you know, he's one of the biggest reasons why

572
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a part of this UM. I

573
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: believe in him. I'm believe in this offense. You know,

574
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: getting to know um these coaches, Will, Coach Mcdermottum, Coach

575
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: Frazier and you know, Coach Washington. You know all of

576
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: these guys, Man, I feel like, I've been doing these

577
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: guys for a long time. I haven't heard the creature

578
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: word about Josh Allen yet. We've heard freak, we've heard Superstar,

579
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: we've heard elite. I haven't heard a creature And I

580
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: love it. Yeah. I think it's so wild though, that

581
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: von thought he was gonna be drafted by Buffalo, and

582
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: not wild in that, like why would Buffalo draft von Miller?

583
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: Of course you would want to draft von Miller, but

584
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: from someone who didn't start working here until twenty nineteen,

585
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: I think it's wild that he thought he is gonna

586
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: be drafted by Buffalo and was so bought into it

587
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: to the point where he bought his own Bills gear. Yeah,

588
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: and fast forward eleven years now, a Buffalo bill. It

589
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: is kind of awesome. And I'll say this too. Players

590
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: don't forget that kind of stuff because you you know,

591
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: the draft is, it's and we all know and you

592
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: can kind of infer, but you know, I lived through it.

593
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: The draft is. It is a lifetime achievement for some

594
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: of these at the young age. I mean, it is

595
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: a lifetime achievement for these players to be drafted in

596
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: the National Football League. And you never forget the run

597
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: up to it. What it meant to you who talks

598
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 1: to you is that you talk to who you know,

599
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: what scouts you talk to? Who were they from and

600
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: when did they come in? And you started to become

601
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: a fan of right, who? Yeah? And who? Said? Who

602
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: called you before the draft said well, you know if

603
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: this draft we had that I all the conversation. You

604
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: never forget it. And obviously it's true. Von Miller is

605
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: stalking about this is a ten year over ten years

606
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: ago he said, I thought they were gonna draft me

607
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: out of my gear. He was all into it. You

608
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: never forget it, and I think it's gotta be I

609
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: gotta it. Brings a smile to my face to think

610
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: that he finally made it happen himself. I'm in a way.

611
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go see what Buffalo is about. You know,

612
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: they got this guy now, this who became this creature?

613
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 1: I want to go play, you know with all that stuff. Um,

614
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: it's really cool, but it does give you a sense

615
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: of the human side. You see these guys Von Miller.

616
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody in the NFL knows who Von Miller is,

617
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: who's a fan, and you know, everybody knows who Josh

618
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: allen Is and you forget sometimes they're just guys and

619
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 1: at one point they you know, they didn't know if

620
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: they were going to be able to play in the league.

621
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: They didn't know, and there's still there's still things that

622
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: personally are important to them. And it's kind of cool

623
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: here Von Miller talking about what he thought when he

624
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: was here a twenty two year old kid, twenty one

625
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: year old kid coming out of college, and and where

626
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 1: he thought he might get drafted, how important it was too.

627
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool. Yeah, the Broncos had these second

628
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: overall pick in that draft at the Buffalo Bills had

629
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: the third overall pick in that draft, so Von went

630
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: off the board right before the Bills we're going to choose.

631
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: So very interesting to hear about that. I love looking

632
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: back at drafts and and kind of reliving who went where,

633
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: who went When Cam Newton was a part of that

634
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: draft class, Julio Jones was a part of that draft class,

635
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: AJ Green, Patrick Peterson, I mean, some big names in

636
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: the top five picks there in that twenty eleven draft,

637
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: and you wonder what if Buffalo would have picked von

638
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,479
Speaker 1: Miller at number three. Instead they went with the defensive tackle.

639
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: Can you remember who it was was? Marcel? Yeah? Oh

640
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: my god, yeah yeah. Well, of the dice it is.

641
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: It is a complete roll of the dice. We have

642
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: some more sound from Von. Here's him on what he

643
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: thinks he's going to add to the Buffalo bills. I

644
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: do a lot of things as well. You know, I

645
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: was telling the guys earlier. You know, I do a

646
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: lot of things. Well, you know, I'm a DJ. You know,

647
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: I golf not too well. I don't golf that well,

648
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: but I golf. You know, I'm a comedian. You know,

649
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: on the side. You're supposed to laugh at that, but

650
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: y'all didn't. Um. I'm a great brother, you know, I'm

651
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: a great friend. Um. You know. But the one thing

652
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: that I do best so that everything else in my

653
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: whole entire life is Russian pastor second second leader. That

654
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm a great teammate, you know, Um, And I can

655
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: I can toot my horn when it comes to that.

656
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about stuff you do on

657
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: the football field and all that stuff, But when it

658
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: comes to being a great teammate, When when it comes

659
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: to be and being part of the guys and contributing

660
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: to a great culture. You know, I got that. I

661
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: got that in my back pocket. That's what I've done

662
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,479
Speaker 1: on Super Bowl teams, That's what I've done on teams

663
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: that didn't make the playoffs. When it comes to being

664
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: a great teammate and you know, bringing the best out

665
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: of your brother, you know, I'm one of the best

666
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: that has ever done that. And I can toot my

667
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: own horn and that and in that aspect, I mean

668
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen and a half career sacks. Yeah,

669
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: the best thing he does in his life is rush

670
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: the passer, and Buffalo is lucky to have that on

671
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: their defensive line. Sean McDermott talked about how they knew

672
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: they needed something like that because you look back on

673
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: the past season after the season wraps up every year

674
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: and you kind of see where the holes were and

675
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: still are, and you figure out what can we do

676
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: to fill those holes with different players, with multiple players,

677
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: and they believe that Von Miller can help them get

678
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: over that hump. I also thought it was super interesting

679
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: about how much Von talked about how tough of a

680
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: decision it was to choose to come to Buffalo instead

681
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: of stay in LA and Bill's fans could think, why

682
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: is he talking about LA so much? Why is he

683
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: talking about Sean McVay and Aaron Donald so much? I mean,

684
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: the guy won a Super Bowl with them, And I

685
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: think it's pretty cool that he pulled back the curtain

686
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: enough to detail what was going on in his mind

687
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: and in detail the hours leading up to the decision

688
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: that he had to make. Because ultimately, when you enter

689
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: into a new contract and when you go to a

690
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: new team, that is a life changing decision for you

691
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: very much. So for him to kind of process it

692
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: with the media and explain just how tough it was

693
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: to leave Aaron Donald. He had a quote where he said,

694
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: who walks away from one of the best, if not

695
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: the best defensive lineman interior defensive linemen in the NFL?

696
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: You're crazy if you do the history of the NFL.

697
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: And the only thing that could get him to do

698
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: that was coming to a special place like Buffalo, right.

699
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: It's it's huge, it's a it's a really big statement

700
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: by him, and it's really true. And you think von

701
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: Miller is an accomplished player, I mean, he's already got

702
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame credentials. One hundred and fifteen sacks. Now,

703
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: my Buddy Bruce had two hundred sacks. You think, wow,

704
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: that's a lot. You know, that's way behind me. Listen,

705
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: that one hundred and fifteen sacks is a big nut.

706
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: It's a yeah. He is the most of any player

707
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: since twenty eleven. Yeah. For instance, you know, JJ Watt

708
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 1: has one hundred and two for his career and he's

709
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 1: kind of kind of used up right From that same

710
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: draft class, he had one hundred and two. Another guy

711
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: from that draft class, Robert Quinn, has one hundred and

712
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: one career sacks. You know, So it's it's hard to

713
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: get there. It's hard to get one hundred sacks in

714
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: the National Football League. UM and and so too. He

715
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: didn't spend that much time with LA. It was mid

716
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: midway through the season where ended up going to LA

717
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: last year from the Denver Broncos. But having said that,

718
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: the kind of teammate he is, and how you know

719
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: what you go through is he you know, those those

720
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,479
Speaker 1: were guys he put his arms around. They were teammates too,

721
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, you know, Sean McVay, all those guys, Jalen Ramsey,

722
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: You're down the list. Um so it's and they've got

723
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: they had some success. You're in Los Angeles right, all

724
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: the there's a ton of positives about being out there,

725
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: no question about it. The great team, the attitude, the

726
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 1: you know, the success they've had. But ultimately it came

727
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: down they didn't quite they didn't match the money that

728
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo offered. And he wanted to try it, you know,

729
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: he wanted to go to He want to, you know,

730
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: go to a special place. If there's gonna be a

731
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: special places, I gotta find out if it is. And

732
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: it was, and he said it was. Um, he was

733
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: convinced that it was by the guys he reached out

734
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: to to ask, what does it really like there? You know,

735
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: he reached out to Steph Diggs. What's it really liked there? Yeah,

736
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: Steph said it's it's an amazing locker room. And Von

737
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: Von's response to that was, Oh, if mister International thinks

738
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: it's an amazing locker room, I know I'll be just

739
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: fine in Buffalo, which I thought was hilarious. And somebody

740
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: who's played in the NFL for for as long as

741
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: Von Miller has has quite a few connections, probably on

742
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: every single team in the NFL. How what do you

743
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 1: think at this point in his career where he's already

744
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: got two super Bowl rings, one with the Denver Broncos,

745
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: one with the La Rams. He's got one hundred and

746
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: fifteen sacks to his name. He's headed to the Hall

747
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: of Fame. I think he really wants to go to

748
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: a place where it stinks. He really wants you think

749
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: he can go. And I told you this yesterday, mad

750
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: he could. He could go play for absolutely any team

751
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: he wanted, any team he wanted. He just pick up

752
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: the phone say I'm gonna play for you. So he

753
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: can make it work with the cap I'll play for

754
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: whatever number you're willing to give me. I'm gonna play

755
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: there with you. And he picked Buffalo because one they

756
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: got a guy and a culture. They're a contender. The

757
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna be the favorite to go to the

758
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: super Bowl. In the AFC. There, people are gonna say

759
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: that that's the guy. Those are the guys that's number one.

760
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: And the second thing is that's all well and good

761
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: and it looks good, But what are the guys like,

762
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: Am I gonna be welcome there? Is it gonna be

763
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: a great place to a man? People say. One of

764
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: the reasons they're a contender is exactly that, because the

765
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: guys play hard, and they play hard for each other

766
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: for all the right reasons. They love it, They love

767
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: each other, they love the place, they love the fans,

768
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: and that I goes on and on and on and on.

769
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: That's why we are a contender has to do with

770
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: our players or their quarterback or coaching staff and the fans.

771
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: That's enticing to a lot of players, even guys that

772
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: have already accomplished a lot and are headed to the

773
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Good Morning Football had this stat It

774
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: was Kyle Brandt who said it. Von Miller has the

775
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to do something that only one player has done

776
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He could be the second player in

777
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 1: the NFL who's won a Super Bowl with three different teams.

778
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: To be able to add that onto your resume of

779
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: a lot of accolades already, I think that's a big

780
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: time too. Yeah, that would be an exclamation point to

781
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: his career, no question about it. Yeah, good for him.

782
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: I hope Matt, believe me, I hope it happens. The

783
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: other guy, in case you're wondering, was a guy named

784
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: Matt Mills. Matt Millen linebacker for the Races the Redskins,

785
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: and I can't think of his third team, won three

786
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, one with each team, and then of course

787
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: ended up being the general manager and a broadcaster and

788
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: all that. So Matt Millen's the only guy in in

789
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: NFL history to win a Super Bowl with three different teams.

790
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: Von Miller could be number two to do that. Don't

791
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: go anywhere because when we come back, we might tap

792
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: into the phone lines, continue to talk about free agency,

793
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: what the Buffalo Bills had have done, and what they

794
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: will continue to do maybe down the line. We don't

795
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: know what's in sore with Brandon Bean. I mean, he

796
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: could do anything. He's a magician. We definitely know that

797
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: from seeing what he's done this past week. One Bills

798
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: Live is presented by Kalida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: Chris hung up? Sorry, Chris? Are we moving on here?

810
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 1: are you doing? Thanks for taking my call? You bet?

811
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad by. I was threw by Miller coming here.

812
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: And like Steve say, we needed a closer and like

813
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs game and other games, but mostly wen him

814
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: in the team that ran wild on us and some

815
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: of those losses like to call Massacre and the Titan

816
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: game even though it was close, and even the Leonard

817
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: for an end game against the Bucks before we made

818
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: our comeback. We need someone to stop the bleeding and

819
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: he could be the one that could stop the bleeding

820
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to the running backs and shorter rampant

821
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: on us, especially in those losses that we had. We

822
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: need in a good meter too. Yeah, exactly, yeah, von Miller.

823
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: Let's face it, there's not too many teams in the

824
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: NFL that are going to be worse off with von

825
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: Miller coming to their team, no question about it. When

826
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 1: you get on the field. He's a guy that makes

827
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: just about every team in the league, every team in

828
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: the league better, and the Bills are no exception as good.

829
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: And as the Bills were like a year ago, as

830
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: high as the expectations look to be again, they're even

831
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: better with von Miller on their side. So yeah, I

832
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: agree with you, Kevin. And I shared this yesterday with

833
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: Maddie and the listeners that you know, I'm on a

834
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: tech sloop when I call it the Five Presidents, because

835
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, Bruce is on their, Gym's on their Thurman's

836
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: on there, Andre's on there, Chris Moore, Will Woolford, Me,

837
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: Darryl Talley, Cornelius Bennett. There's like eight of us on

838
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: this thing. Even though I call it the Five Presidents.

839
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: All those guys were unbelievably excited about having von Miller on.

840
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: And I remember one too, in particular, Bruce Smith said, listen,

841
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: that's and he said exactly what Kevin said. Von Miller

842
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: is a closer when you get into a game. And

843
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: I said it yesterday and this is what Bruce said.

844
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: Von's the guy that goes in when they've got a

845
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: chance to win it and gets the ball back with

846
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: a sack and Josh comes in and kneels down because

847
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: Von Miller is that guy and uh yeah, nobody knows

848
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 1: that better than Bruce what it's like to be that guy. Kevin,

849
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Yeah, I want to add on that.

850
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: I mean, going into your eleventh season in the NFL,

851
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: you may think, and you're in your thirties, which Von is,

852
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: you may think, what are we going to get out

853
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: of this player? How much more life does he have

854
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL? And the Bills are going to be

855
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: really strategic in how they use him in the rest

856
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: days that he could potentially get throughout the season because

857
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: they want to make him last throughout the entire season.

858
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: They want to make sure his health is prime throughout

859
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 1: the entire season. When you're dealing with a player who's

860
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: who's played double digit years in the NFL, your health

861
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: becomes a lot more important. The load management becomes a

862
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: lot more important. And Von Miller is the type of

863
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: player where you already alluded to it, He'll show up

864
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: in the games where you need him the most, and

865
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: that's where it's going to pay off the most. He

866
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: had two sacks in the Super Bowl. He was the

867
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty MVP because of what he did. If

868
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: I could pull these stats quickly, he had two and

869
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: a half sacks, two forced fumbles, two quarterback hits in

870
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl twenty four to ten victory. So he

871
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: shows up in big time time moments. He knows when

872
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: the team needs him most. He'll show up when they

873
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: need him most. And I think that's what Brandon Bean

874
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott are really excited that they'll get in

875
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: this amazing player. Yeah, it's it's gonna be fun to watch,

876
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: no question. Um, it's gonna be really interesting. But don't

877
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: forget too the Bills, and we've been talking about it.

878
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: The Bills have had a guy like von Miller and

879
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes. And remember Jerry Hugh's one of those guys,

880
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: got a day off every week. You know, he'd take

881
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: the Veterans day, Mario got a day off. All those guys,

882
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: they all they take care of him. Von Miller. And plus,

883
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: this is a team that rotates guys out. Von Miller's

884
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: not going to be expected to play seventy snaps a game.

885
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: They'll be okay, and certainly in key snaps you'd like

886
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: to have him in and you know, and it certainly

887
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: it's just like everybody else. If he earns more, they'll

888
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: give him more. But to say that they don't know

889
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: how to handle a guy like that, they already did

890
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: it with Jerry Hughes. You know, they're probably gonna do

891
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: it this year with Trdavious White and his recovery from

892
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: an ACL. They're very, very good at keeping guys fresh

893
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: and healthy throughout the season. Von Miller is going to

894
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: be no exception. And I'm sure there's gonna be a

895
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: time during mid season, you know, when things are grinding,

896
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna go, Man, this is great to get a

897
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: day off today. I really needed it. Oh yeah, It's

898
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: a great spot to be in as a prom A

899
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of these guys say that the way that this

900
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: coaching staff treats older players and treats players who are

901
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: rehabbing from injury is different than places they have been

902
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: in the past. They really take into account what a

903
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 1: player says, what he needs, what he wants in terms

904
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: of how often he's practicing throughout the week. So we

905
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: expect the same for von Miller, but excited to have

906
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: him here in Buffalo. On the other side of the

907
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: break we're gonna talk to Tim Settle, one of the

908
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: newest defensive tackles for the Buffalo Bills. He enters his

909
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 1: fifth year in the NFL. Don't go anywhere, Tim Suttle

Speaker 1: you're gonna work out all day and put the work

1066
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: in this offseason. I'll say this too. He's a defensive linemen.

1067
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: You see him on the nose, you see him at

1068
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: the three technique, you see him on the guards. He

1069
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: said yesterday I'll play nine technique if you need me.

1070
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: To and I'll say, every player that comes through the door, right,

1071
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: we all have these highlight reels, right, and every guy

1072
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: that comes in we watched and we put him on

1073
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: MSG and stuff. I'll say this Tim Settler got some highlights.

1074
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's making plays outside the numbers, on at

1075
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. He's a guy I'm and I

1076
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: didn't know who I gotta say, I didn't know who

1077
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: he was until yesterday, and so I started doing some research,

1078
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: started asking HI about him. Yeah, the guy complain. One

1079
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: thing we talked about during the commercial break, he played

1080
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: on Washington's defensive line. Washington has a dang good defensive

1081
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: line built of a lot of top tier talent, number

1082
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: one picks, first round picks to play alongside talent like that.

1083
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: He's going to bring something special to Buffalo. And we

1084
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 1: heard von Miller saying are press conference too. I am

1085
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: a defensive end, and every every defensive end or every

1086
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: pass rusher is going to say this. As a pass rusher,

1087
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: you need somebody to operate on the inside. You need

1088
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: somebody to do some of that dirty work for you

1089
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: so that you can be in a one on one

1090
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: situation on the edge and go and win and get

1091
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: that quarterback. So he's going to be excited to play

1092
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: alongside guys like Tim Settle, guys like Ed Oliver. He said,

1093
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have came to Buffalo if I didn't have

1094
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: pass rushing buddies. Right, Yeah, it's can't do it on

1095
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: your own. Yeah, he knows it too, and I just

1096
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: gotta say I'm excited to see it happen him along

1097
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: with Jordan Phillips. There's you know how Jordan Phillips is

1098
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: are We get him in here on the show and

1099
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: he's like quiet and he doesn't say much and he's

1100
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: really good. Do you get him on the field and

1101
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's like this dynamite arm waving,

1102
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: crowd cheering, you know, maniac on the field. He was

1103
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: that way his first stint here in Buffalo, and he's

1104
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: probably gonna be the same way you get him along

1105
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: with Tim Settle out there. They may have to rotate

1106
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: in because they're between plays, are are jumping up and

1107
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: down for the crowd more so than even between the whistles.

1108
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a lot of fun. They have

1109
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: certainly bolstered the defensive line room with some people who

1110
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: if we didn't know about him before yesterday and today

1111
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: we're certainly finding out about him. Jordan Phillips a guy obviously,

1112
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: Bills fans are familiar with, Tim Settle, de Quan Jones.

1113
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun, Von Miller. They

1114
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: brought in some guys and it's all of a sudden

1115
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 1: We've always known Maddie And I'm just kind of continuing

1116
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: the train of thought. The Bills have put a lot

1117
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: of effort in free agency on this defensive line. They've

1118
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: put a lot of effort into the defensive line since Brandon,

1119
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: and they've been shifting and moving. What's gonna work. If

1120
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,919
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work, maybe it's not for Buffalo. How

1121
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: can we add here? I mean it has been consting

1122
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: pieces since twenty seven high draft high draft picks with

1123
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver, Greg Russo, Boogie basham aj Epanessa high draft

1124
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: picks and Starlotu La one of the all times, Harrison

1125
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Phillips they drafted to that's right. They bring in Justin

1126
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: Zimmer then they went on on a a free agent Mark

1127
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: brought in Mario Addison and Vernon Butler. I mean, it

1128
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: has been a constant search for the right combination of

1129
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: guys that will be able to get quick pressure with

1130
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: just four guys rushing, and they they are they're not

1131
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 1: going to stop pensive lineman like the Denver Broncos treat quarterbacks.

1132
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,919
Speaker 1: If you're the guy, you're in, You're you're out. Next

1133
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: guy you're out, you're in. You know they are Trent Murphy,

1134
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you go back all the way till Scott here.

1135
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: It's like guy after guy after guy after guy. And

1136
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: now they threw draft picks at it, they threw some

1137
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: free agency money at it. Now they went and swung

1138
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 1: for the fence with Von Miller, who they brought in,

1139
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Famer. So it is an ongoing

1140
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: search for the Bills to get it right and and

1141
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: every time they do, we're optimistic and it's never been disappointing. No, no,

1142
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: And it's not like we're been that group. We're like,

1143
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, yeah right. And it's not like we're

1144
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: talking bad about Brandon and Shawn's decisions to bring new

1145
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: guys in a defensive line, whether they're drafting them or

1146
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: through free agency. Every player that you bring in here

1147
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: that you think is going to compete at whatever level

1148
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: you have in your mind, it doesn't always stick. It

1149
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: doesn't always work. The defensive line has been competitive since

1150
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Sean and Brandon and Leslie have came in here. They've

1151
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: done their job. We've talked about it at length. The

1152
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: philosophy is get pressure with four and last year they

1153
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: were good because while they didn't get a ton of sacks,

1154
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: like forty two sacks on the year. While they didn't

1155
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: get a ton of sacks, what they did do was

1156
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: the rate was very successful enough that the ball had

1157
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: to come out, yeah, and it had to come out

1158
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: where the dbs, the corners, and as good as the

1159
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: defensive backfield was in Tremaine Edmunds, Milano, they had to

1160
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: come out on time and they were in position they

1161
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: didn't have to cover for eight seconds. You know, certainly

1162
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: when every team, you know, the quarterback busts out and

1163
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: they do it, you know that all bets are off true.

1164
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: But they got pressure consistently enough and quick enough to

1165
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: force the quarterback to have to get rid of the

1166
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: football and that gave the defensive backfield a chance. And

1167
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: that combination last year, and as unspectacular statistically in the

1168
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: category as it was, was really effective. Overall, the defense

1169
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: was very good, very good. It was a top defense

1170
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: in the league. So they're still not satisfied with that now.

1171
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Certainly a lot of those guys are gone because the

1172
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: contracts they had to bring guys in. Yeah, and I

1173
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: feel like the the tactic kicking people out of Buffalo because

1174
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: they're not performing to level that you think they're going

1175
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: to perform out. You can't afford guys sometimes the salary cap.

1176
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: You got to shift things around, You got to say

1177
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: goodbye to people to bring new people in. Right, They've

1178
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: got it. They had to do it. And so here

1179
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: we are again, and they are not deviating from their

1180
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: core beliefs that you've got to win up front on

1181
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. You know, Roger Saffold's in

1182
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: now and all these defensive tackles, and I'm I am

1183
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: all in with it. I totally complained, even though I

1184
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: was one of those skill guys on the outside. It

1185
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 1: starts with the big guys. It always start. You win

1186
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: and lose up front on both sides of the ball. Yeah. Well,

1187
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: speaking of the big guys, I want to throw to

1188
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: some Jordan Phillips sound that we have from his press conference.

1189
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: This guy is so excited to come back to Buffalo.

1190
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: He said he didn't miss a Bill's game last year.

1191
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: So let's hear from Jordan Phillips on why he's so

1192
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: pumped to be back here with his former and now

1193
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: again teammates. I didn't miss a game. I mean, you

1194
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: can ask me anything about a game and I can

1195
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: probably tell you. I talked to the guys constantly, you know,

1196
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: stayed in touch. This was when I left. It was

1197
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 1: real close knit group. First time that I felt part

1198
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: of a football team that's like more of a family.

1199
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: So it was easy I go. So you could see

1200
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: the guys in the off season. We still hung out.

1201
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: And you have the best best quarterback in the league.

1202
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: You have one of the best receivers in the league.

1203
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: We just signed the best pass rusher in the league.

1204
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: Ed's playing really well. You're gonna get your Davious White back.

1205
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: You have the two best safeties in the league, got

1206
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 1: one of the best linebackers in the league. Why wouldn't

1207
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: you come back? Why wouldn't you come back? And he

1208
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: runs down the list of all the all the best

1209
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: players on this roster. You know why you have to

1210
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: have top tier upper echelon talent, especially on defense. Why

1211
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: you have to invest in the defensive line like the

1212
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: way the Buffalo Bills have and will continue to do.

1213
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Look at the AFC, Look at the quarterbacks that these

1214
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: defenses have to go up against, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes,

1215
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, Derrett Carr.

1216
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: You can't have a decent defense and expect to win

1217
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: games by scoring thirty five points a game. You have

1218
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: to limit that. And that's why Brandon and Sean believe

1219
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: you have to invest in your defense. They they had

1220
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: it figured out before some of these other teams did

1221
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: their defense. And Sean is the defensive minded coach and

1222
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: he comes from coaching defense, So of course you're gonna

1223
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: want to have a really good defense. But look at

1224
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 1: what the AFC West has done in terms of adding

1225
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: defensive players to their roster, Khalil Mack, j C. Jackson

1226
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: to the Chargers. These guys are trying to stop the quarterback.

1227
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: What have the Bills tried to do over the last

1228
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: three seasons in stopping Patrick Mahomes? How has that affected

1229
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: their roster? AFC teams are trying to stack their defenses

1230
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: so they can stop these elite quarterbacks. Defenses have had

1231
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: to evolve and have had to change and have had

1232
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,919
Speaker 1: to shift because of these young quarterbacks who can run

1233
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: or who can throw it seventy yards down the field,

1234
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: and you're seeing that. A fun tidbit here is when

1235
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: we were at the combine and I'm working on this

1236
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: story it's going to be released next week kind of

1237
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: about the scope of the AFC and the quarterbacks and

1238
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: the AFC and how it's kind of changing the entire conference.

1239
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: I asked the Chargers GM Tom Talasco about the quarterback

1240
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: situation and kind of said, you know, what do you

1241
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: think about You have one of your own. You're lucky

1242
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: enough to draft a guy like Justin Herbert, So what

1243
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: do you think about it now that he's on your

1244
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: team and you know that a lot of other teams

1245
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: have similar quarterbacks. And he says, we have to get

1246
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: better on defense. That is the first thing that I

1247
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: think about. And the week after he goes and picks

1248
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: up Mac. That's a good way to get better, right.

1249
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: It's it's not just the fact that you want to

1250
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: get better on defense. It's there's a couple of things

1251
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: working against you. First of all, it's the game itself.

1252
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: The rules are such now that it's hard to play

1253
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. You can't touch these guys that

1254
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: you can't like send messages to them physically like you

1255
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 1: could back in the seventies and eighties, where you you know,

1256
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: you give the guy into le extra shove, or give

1257
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback up, you know, plant the quarterback. None of

1258
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 1: that's legal anymore, so you can't send a message physically

1259
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: to them. The rules are all tilted on the offensive

1260
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: side of the football. It's just hard to play defense.

1261
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 1: And secondly, when young kid, and we're seeing the results

1262
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: of an entire generation or two generations of players that

1263
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: have come up through this current kind of football mentality

1264
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: where now you got all the colleges around the country

1265
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: you're throwing it. You got Division three schools airing it

1266
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: out right, So you get these huge wave of polished

1267
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: offensives and the best players when they're young. Nobody wants

1268
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: to play defense. You know, not that you don't get

1269
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: good players over there, but there's there's not twenty five

1270
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: corners coming out of this draft like there are receivers, right,

1271
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: There's not fifteen starting quality corners, like there are fifteen

1272
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: quality starting corners or wide receivers. So now you're getting

1273
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:30,560
Speaker 1: to the point where that's extended into you know, generation

1274
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: of this players. You know, like the young guys coming

1275
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: in for von Miller are the kind of the same

1276
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of cutout. So it's not only hard to play defense.

1277
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 1: There's not as many guys who stick with it on

1278
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: the defensive side when they're young coming out. There's not

1279
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: as many good players, and it's hard to fill your

1280
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: roster with enough corners to match up with all the

1281
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:54,919
Speaker 1: wide receivers that these guys are unfurling. It's a matchup problem.

1282
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,560
Speaker 1: And then you put your sprinkle Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes

1283
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert and Derek Carr and Russ Wilson, you know,

1284
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: all of these guys out there that can can sling it.

1285
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my gosh, who wants to play defense?

1286
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 1: And so now it's like, all right, well, let's just

1287
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: rush the passer. Yeah, you know, and the offense is

1288
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: determined how a defense has to play. And that's why

1289
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: you're seeing let's let's just rush the passer again, or

1290
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,600
Speaker 1: there's not enough corners in this draft. How can we

1291
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 1: get a player that that maybe isn't a corner, but

1292
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: can take on some of those responsibilities at least make

1293
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: us win, help us win. All right, So listen, we

1294
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: can't get a corner, let's get another wide out, you

1295
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. We can't get a corner,

1296
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: we'll take the pass rusher then. But there are certain

1297
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 1: positions that are becoming more and more exaggerated. Yeah, corner

1298
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,799
Speaker 1: back there now is has to do so many things. Corner,

1299
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: defensive end, quarterback, wide out. Those are the and left tackle,

1300
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: right the guy that protects the tackles the wide outs.

1301
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: And on defense, it's the pass rushers in the corner.

1302
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: It's now you're starting to get it little bit of

1303
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: bleed out into where it's starting to into the safety position.

1304
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: We're seeing safeties now because of the success the Bills

1305
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: I've had with their two guys. Yeah, teams are going

1306
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense. So it's hard to

1307
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: play defense. There's not as many guys who can play

1308
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: that specialized position of corner in the NFL at that

1309
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 1: level for enough of them to be out there that

1310
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams have three or four of them,

1311
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: they're just not enough of them. Yeah, each team usually

1312
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,759
Speaker 1: has one really good one. You look around the NFL,

1313
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 1: it's hard to find teams that have two elite corners

1314
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: that you can afford to stay on the roster for

1315
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: multiple seasons. I mean, I think of the my Ami

1316
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins and what they had. They were investing so much

1317
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: money in that cornerback position. So it's not something that

1318
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: you see often. It's almost and you can't do it

1319
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: because there's so you know, there's twenty two spots on

1320
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: the field. You got to fill up with quality starters.

1321
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: But sit here, like for instance, at corner, say you

1322
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: get Trey White, and Trey White is everything we hope

1323
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: to be, obviously everything. You know. He's the guy they

1324
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: paid him a ton of money, he's earning it. He's

1325
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: the kind of guy you want. He's a leader you want.

1326
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 1: He works hard as hard as you could want him

1327
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: to work. He's all of that. So in a perfect scenario,

1328
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 1: you get Tradavius. He gets to where you signed his

1329
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 1: extension after four years in it. In a perfect world,

1330
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: you draft a guy exactly like him the year you

1331
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 1: sign him to his extension, because now you've got a

1332
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 1: younger version of him who's earning it, and then when

1333
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: he's ready to sign his deal, Trdavious is ready to

1334
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: is ready to de escalate his deal, or he's too

1335
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 1: old to play. You know what I mean. You've got

1336
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 1: his replacement one on your team, and during the run

1337
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: up you got both those guys going together. Then you

1338
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: draft another one, right. The problem is you also need

1339
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: a left tackle, and a wide receiver and another wide receiver. Oh,

1340
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 1: and then you might need a tight end. You know,

1341
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't keep refurbishing the one position, as

1342
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 1: important as it is is, and particularly the fact given

1343
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: the fact that you may be drafting in the wrong

1344
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: spot to do it. I mean, here's two players, I said,

1345
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins who have a lot of money invested

1346
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: in their cornerbacks. I just pulled up their contracts. I

1347
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:17,679
Speaker 1: Xavier Howard and Byron Jones. Both were on a five

1348
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: year and currently are still on a five year deal.

1349
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 1: Jones is five year, eighty two million, Howard is five

1350
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: years seventy five and a half million. That is a

1351
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: lot of money to invest into two corners who are

1352
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: around the same age. So you bring up the perfect

1353
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: point of you have a guy you spend a lot

1354
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: of money on. And then you have a guy who's younger,

1355
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: who who you're bringing up to be able to be

1356
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: like X player that you're spending a lot of money on,

1357
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 1: but you don't have to spend as much money on

1358
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: them because they're still in their rookie contracts. Yeah, but

1359
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: think about this now. Okay, so you're the Miami Dolphin.

1360
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: You got these guys right, awesome, So what do you

1361
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: do with them? They can play man coverage, that's great.

1362
01:12:55,840 --> 01:13:00,600
Speaker 1: So you got Xavier Jones on Steph Diggs and you

1363
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: got Howard on Gabe Davis. How much you think they're

1364
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 1: spending on their third corner after all that money? No,

1365
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: you got Isaiah McKenzie now on some yeah joey bag

1366
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: of donuts who can't stay with him? Now, what are

1367
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 1: you gonna Because you gotta play man. That's why you

1368
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: got those two guys on the outside. You're gonna play

1369
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 1: man with them. Now, the bills go deeper than you

1370
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: do at wide out and now you're you're sunk. Who's

1371
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: gonna going out more than two deep? How you look

1372
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: at offenses now, when they line up, it's it's four wide,

1373
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: it's five rode. You have two tight ends in there

1374
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: who are both catching the ball from a quarterback. So

1375
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 1: you go out there with those two corners, and all

1376
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Bills go four wide with Cole

1377
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: Beasley and Isam McKenzie and the slots. You're done. You

1378
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 1: look like a Thanksgiving turkey and Josh Allen's holding a

1379
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,679
Speaker 1: carving knife. You know, I mean, that's it. You're done.

1380
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: Good luck a posing defense. It's hard. It's hard to

1381
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,640
Speaker 1: play defense in the NFL. One thing to note. The

1382
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:08,679
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills added another player to their roster. Mark Lee

1383
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 1: joins the Buffalo Bills. He was actually on the team

1384
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 1: this past offseason in twenty twenty one for a couple

1385
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 1: of months. Before he got released. He spent most of

1386
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 1: his time with the Raiders. We're gonna take a break,

1387
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we'll tell you a little

1388
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: bit more about Mark Kelly and maybe get to the

1389
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: phone lines again before the show is over in thirty minutes,

1390
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: So stick with us here when Bill's Live is presented

1391
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 1: by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio forty. Welcome to Buffalo,

1392
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: my man. You're gonna love this town. There are no

1393
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: fans in the NFL like Bills mafia. Time to hunt.

1394
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:03,799
Speaker 1: There's your buddy saying time to hunt to Von Miller.

1395
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: Good for him. What did Bruce have to say about Buffalo?

1396
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: Bruce was stoked about it. He was he's the guy

1397
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 1: that on that five President's text loop said that is

1398
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 1: a guy that can close the game out. And he's right,

1399
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: that's what And we had in a caller said, this

1400
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 1: is a guy that can end it. You know, when

1401
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 1: the game is in doubt and they've got the ball,

1402
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:31,679
Speaker 1: he can end the game. That is that's an awesome

1403
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 1: thing to have ready to go. And I think he's right.

1404
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: I think he's right. That's what he's known for. That's

1405
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 1: what von Miller is known for doing. You look out

1406
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: his stats and big games, and the stats show up

1407
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 1: in those games. If it's just one more sack, one

1408
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 1: more play. I mean, that's the determining factor in the

1409
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 1: Bills making it to the AFC Championship Game this past year.

1410
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: They were so close to doing it, and Von said

1411
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: multiple times in the press conference, we need to get

1412
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 1: over that hump. I can help this team get over

1413
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:06,680
Speaker 1: that hump. Right. The veteran leadership that he's going to

1414
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 1: bring to this team, the skill set, the talent, it

1415
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: could be enough to get this team over the hump.

1416
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens when he puts on a Bill's

1417
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: uniform and it's time for Week one. We'll see what

1418
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: he does and what he's capable of doing. But it's

1419
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,839
Speaker 1: definitely an important position to the defense and an important

1420
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 1: addition to the defense as a whole. We're gonna take

1421
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: some phone calls in this segment. We've got somebody who's

1422
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: been hanging on for quite some time. Carl from deput

1423
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 1: you're on with us. What would you like to talk

1424
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:44,600
Speaker 1: about today? Hi? This question is for Steve. Maybe you

1425
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 1: can answer this question, Steve, and maybe you can't. I

1426
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: don't know, but you know how, we're always looking to

1427
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: upgrade the offensive line, upgrade the defensive line. Yeah, and

1428
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 1: I was just wondering it's been bugging me for a

1429
01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: couple of years. Why would they trade a guy like

1430
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: Wyatt Teller to Cleveland who winds up to be an

1431
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,720
Speaker 1: All Pro guard. Yeah, that's a good question. I'll tell

1432
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: you what. If they had to do over again, they

1433
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't have made the trade, no question about it. But

1434
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 1: when they made the trade, their offensive line and you

1435
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: can you can say what you want now, But at

1436
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 1: the time, it was Dion Dawkins, Quentin Spain, Mitch Morris,

1437
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: John Feliciano, and they had just drafted Cody Ford, if

1438
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,640
Speaker 1: you remember. So they thought they had high hopes for

1439
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: Cody Ford. And this is when they were trying him

1440
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: at tackle, moved him to guard and all that around

1441
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: and this and Wyatt Teller was like a fifth round

1442
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: draft pick coming in and out of there. And Spain Bates,

1443
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 1: and I think they liked Ryan as one of those

1444
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 1: extra guys who could rotate through. Bates could play both

1445
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: tackle spots and both guard spots and center, so they

1446
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: liked him as death and if and Whyatt was not

1447
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:52,560
Speaker 1: going to be able to get on the field, and

1448
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 1: that was the year that Quentin Spain didn't give up

1449
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 1: a sack the entire season. So they felt like, you

1450
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 1: know what, we're good, I mean, we're we're we don't

1451
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:03,560
Speaker 1: you know. And if we can get something for a

1452
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: guy like Whyatt Teller, who's not going to get on

1453
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 1: the field because he was a young player, we'll do it.

1454
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 1: And then of course Wyatt goes to Cleveland and and

1455
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 1: really flourishes um and becomes an All Pro guard and

1456
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:20,879
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. But no question, now, in hindsight,

1457
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 1: that's one of the times when well you can't tell

1458
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: the future when you make the trade and you can't

1459
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: tell even now, you can't tell the future. But that's

1460
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 1: probably one of the Bills will like to go back

1461
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: in time with maybe we'll maybe we'll take that back.

1462
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't blame him because, you know, because I thought

1463
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: he showed I thought he showed greatest in his rookie

1464
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 1: year and stuff. When he did get on the field,

1465
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: he I thought he was good, right, I think that's

1466
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: what That's what Cleveland saw. They saw him in college

1467
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: and then got him in the pros and whatever snaps

1468
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 1: he got. Yeah, he was good. And but the Bills didn't.

1469
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:56,560
Speaker 1: You know, he couldn't get on the field for the

1470
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: Bills because of Feliciano and Quentin Spain play highly motivated,

1471
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: they wanted it, and they just outplayed him and got

1472
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:07,559
Speaker 1: on the field. And they felt like if Wyatt Teller

1473
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: was going to do that for the Bills and be

1474
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 1: a backup guard, well let's see if we can get

1475
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: two draft picks for him, and then you know, we'll

1476
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: go on from there. Um, certainly, you're right. I mean,

1477
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: it's that's one there's like going, wow, we wish we

1478
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 1: still had that guy because he's played at an all

1479
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 1: pro level, bugging me for two years? What do you

1480
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 1: say him for two years? Yeah, listen, you think it's

1481
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: been bugging you for two years? How do you think

1482
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 1: it's bugging Brandon Bean? Right? I mean that that's one

1483
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 1: of you're thinking, oh, what you know, how did the

1484
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: guy play like that? For him? But that's the way

1485
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: it goes. I mean that's one that where he was

1486
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: a young player, probably had a lot to learn, and

1487
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 1: the Bills were at a point where they couldn't give

1488
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: him reps on the field to help him get better.

1489
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: The Browns could, and he got better and got better

1490
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: very fast and turned in when all pro really really quickly.

1491
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 1: And I think it's probably and I don't want to

1492
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 1: say it wouldn't have happened, because it probably would have,

1493
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 1: But it happened a lot faster for the Cleveland Browns

1494
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: than it did for the Buffalo Bills because he got

1495
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: reps on the field, and he got better exponentially when

1496
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: he got on the field. So every time I see him,

1497
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: I want to cry. Yeah, He's a great dude to

1498
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,759
Speaker 1: fit in. Were out with a locker room and the Bills,

1499
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: the Bills knew he was a good player, or you know,

1500
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: liked him. It's a good player. He's gonna make the team,

1501
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: but was gonna be a backup guy at that time

1502
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: for Buffalo and a backup offensive lineman for two draft picks, Yeah,

1503
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: the Bills took it, especially a fifth round offensive lineman.

1504
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: So kudos to Wyatt Teller for Turnato and round becoming

1505
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 1: one of the best guards in the National Football League. Carl,

1506
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. And the Bills got in exchange

1507
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 1: a fifth and a sixth round from the Cleveland Browns

1508
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: in that trade. And I don't know exactly what sixth

1509
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 1: round pick it was, because the Bills had two sixth

1510
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 1: round picks in the twenty twenty NFL Draft, but that

1511
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: fifth round pick was Jake from and their two sixth

1512
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 1: round picks Tyler Bass, which is a very important piece

1513
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:09,600
Speaker 1: to this team. If he was the first one, it

1514
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,679
Speaker 1: would have been the Cleveland pick and Isaiah Hodgins. Yeah,

1515
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: the Bass pick would have been Yeah, it would have

1516
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 1: been the Browns. Yeah, so they got Tyler Bass out

1517
01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: of it. I can live with that, I like Tyler

1518
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,680
Speaker 1: Bass and Isaiah Hodgins. I'd like to see him get

1519
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:28,560
Speaker 1: on the field. But he's still hanging in there and

1520
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,720
Speaker 1: it's still and still knocking around with the club. They

1521
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 1: haven't given up on him, so we'll see. But yeah,

1522
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if well they think about that. Let's see,

1523
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: is a kicker as good as Tyler Bass has been

1524
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: equal to a guard playing as well as Tyler as

1525
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: White Tyler has. I look at it in the way

1526
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:52,679
Speaker 1: of you need five offensive linemen to play together. That's

1527
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 1: not a position that plays on its own. Yes, they

1528
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: have their own responsibilities within the offensive line, and they

1529
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:00,120
Speaker 1: do have one on one matchups and things like that.

1530
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 1: But as a union, you need five guys working together. Right,

1531
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: a kicker, you're doing that on your own that you're

1532
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: by yourself, You're by yourself. And and the stats that

1533
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: he's put up and the records that he's had, yeah, great, fantastic,

1534
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 1: And how he can kick here in Buffalo. That kid

1535
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: played at Georgia Southern. He did not kick in the elements. Yeah,

1536
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: I think he's been an excellent, excellent kicker for the Bills.

1537
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: Excellent kicker. All right, let's go to PJ from Buffalo. PJ,

01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: you think he would be able to perform to his

1547
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: best ability up here during our winter times? Well? Yeah,

1548
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: he played in Denver for ten years. Um, and Denver

1549
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 1: gets really cold and it's yeah, I don't think von

1550
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: Miller's can have a problem playing in cold weather. Denver's cold,

1551
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 1: bro really cold, and they practice outside in the winter

1552
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: in Denver. Their practice facility is outdoors. Um, so yeah,

1553
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: Von Miller is gonna be fine in the cold weather.

1554
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, PJ. Another thing to point out

1555
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: about the weather that you have in Denver and you

1556
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 1: don't have anywhere else is the elevation and that that

1557
01:23:56,120 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: that's no joke, that altitude, I mean, it's real. Maybe

1558
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 1: it isn't as much for NFL players who are super

1559
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:05,600
Speaker 1: in shape, But when you're playing on a field for

1560
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: three hours in an NFL game, it has to impact you.

1561
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I go to Denver and I go on

1562
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 1: a run and I'm I can't even do a mile

1563
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: because it's so hard to breathe out there. It's a

1564
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 1: real thing. I will say. With the temperature though Denver,

1565
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: I would say Denver has better weather than Buffalo. They

1566
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of days in January where it's sixty

1567
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: and sunny there. They see more sun than Buffalo. Definitely,

1568
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 1: does they see about as much snow. I would say

1569
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: I go to Colorado every year to go snowboarding. We

1570
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: usually stop over in Denver on our way up to

1571
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,479
Speaker 1: the mountains, and half the time we're going in January,

1572
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 1: or it's lately been in February because we have to

1573
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 1: go after the season. Hopefully it's March next year when

1574
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: I'm going to Colorado because that means the Bills won

1575
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But it's usually warmer there than it

1576
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: is in Buffalo at the time that I'm going there,

1577
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,640
Speaker 1: so I think they do have better weather. I mean,

1578
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:59,719
Speaker 1: Von Miller did say after I left the Broncos. I said,

1579
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going back to that weather. And look where

1580
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: he is now in Buffalo. And I'll say this too,

1581
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of Bills fans will back me up

1582
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: on this. I don't know about everybody else, but I thought,

1583
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 1: and I've been here since nineteen eighty six, I think

1584
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: two twenty one football season was the worst weather weekend

1585
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 1: week out for games for the Buffalo Bills of any

1586
01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 1: season I can remember, not only at home, but also

1587
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 1: on the road. They rained. It poured in Tennessee, it

1588
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:31,640
Speaker 1: poured in Kansas City, it rained in Miami. It was

1589
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 1: horrible every week, every week, and here in Buffalo at

1590
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: forty mile an hour wins that literally handed Mac Jones

1591
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: of victory in that game, the Monday night games, even

1592
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 1: the playoff game against the Patriots when it was zero,

1593
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: it was bitter. It was the worst weekend week out,

1594
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 1: worst weather season in Buffalo Bills in my memory. In

1595
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: my memory, certainly we've had bad games, no question. You know,

1596
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 1: you go back to the snow game against Indianapolis, all

1597
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:05,560
Speaker 1: the game, and you know, all the way back and

1598
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 1: even in nineteen eighty six, there were forty five mile

1599
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 1: an hour wins that game Marv Levy's first game as

1600
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 1: head coach against Pittsburgh Steelers. Bright sunny day, but people

1601
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 1: were blowing up big black garbage bags and they were

1602
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 1: moving across the field at forty mile an hour. They

1603
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:23,800
Speaker 1: were going everywhere. So we've had I get it, we've

1604
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 1: had bad days here, but every week it was something

1605
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills this last season. And so he's

1606
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 1: got a he's got a consideration there with von Miller. Yeah,

1607
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: but it could just as easily be that the Bills

1608
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,639
Speaker 1: do the opposite of that vision. We've all seen great

1609
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: weather games all the way deep into the year for

1610
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo as well on a hit and miss basis. But

1611
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 1: last year I thought, man, I thought the Bills were

1612
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 1: snake bit even in Buffalo for their weather. Yeah. I

1613
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: mean it's gonna be different from La, no question about that.

1614
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 1: But the good thing is is he knows what it's play.

1615
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 1: He's he knows what it's like to play in cold

1616
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: weather and and he'll be accustomed to that in Buffalo.

1617
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 1: So not too worried about that. Vaughan's gonna still be

1618
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 1: the player that we all know that he can be

1619
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Hopefully he takes it up a notch

1620
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: and takes it to the next takes it to the

1621
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: next level in Buffalo. We're gonna take a break here.

1622
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 1: When we come back, maybe dip into the fan mail bag,

1623
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: answer a question or two before we end things here.

1624
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 1: One Bills Live is presented by Kalid Health on Buffalo

1625
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:49,719
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back into One Bills Live. Our final

1626
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: segment before we say, Sionara Sally, what do you think

1627
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: some other you know what. I'm gonna be on call

1628
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 1: all weekend because we know Brandon, we know Brandon being

1629
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 1: likes to continue to make moves. I'm not putting anything

1630
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: out there saying, wait, you might do something. I have

1631
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 1: no idea what he's going to do. I'm just saying

1632
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,719
Speaker 1: I will not be surprised if things happen over the weekend.

1633
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 1: Because this roster still is not complete. There's still parts

1634
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 1: that they want to fill, their still holes that they

1635
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 1: want to feel. There's still players who who might be

1636
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: interested in Buffalo that we don't even know about yet.

1637
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 1: As we approach that NFL draft at the end of April.

1638
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:30,679
Speaker 1: We said this the other day before it happened, because

1639
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 1: we came in to Happy Go Lucky on Wednesday and

1640
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 1: was like nothing going on again, and we said we

1641
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: admit it too. Once in a while we'll get stuff

1642
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 1: from the front off say hey, we're gonna you know,

1643
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:43,240
Speaker 1: we might sign you know, Jordan Phillips, is Weir, or

1644
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 1: we might sign you know whatever, you know, whoever it is, MARKL. Lee,

1645
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: like they signed today. We might get heads up like

1646
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Nobody knew anything about von Miller

1647
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 1: because it happened like I guess, it happened all in

1648
01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:02,880
Speaker 1: one day kind of. And so if it happens over

1649
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 1: the weekend. I came flying in here from a workout, like,

1650
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: let's type this off. Von Miller's coming to Buffalo. I

1651
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 1: don't believe it. I don't know what the weekend holds,

1652
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 1: but I'm certainly going to keep my ear to the

1653
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: ground and make sure I'm ready for it if it does,

1654
