1
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: the stragedyre of normalcy here. Welcome to a Thursday edition

5
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: and good to be back in studio Steve. After taking

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: care of some stuff on the home front there while

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: doing the show, a little bit of a juggling act,

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: but we made it work. And good to be back

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: here because I know it's it's easier on everybody else

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: when we can get two people in studio doing the

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: radio show. We're not I mean, we don't break rocks

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: with a hammer. You and I don't. You know both,

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, for our living. But it was hard labor

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: with you at home. I'll say that, Wow, it was

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: laying it on thick. Well, it's good to be back then.

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: It is good to have you back, to be able

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: to you know, yeah, interact with one another, dramatic pregnant

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: pauses because oh is he done talking? And then I

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: froze yesterday that was great, turned into Jack Frost on

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: the air. That was spectacular thanks to the wireless service. Yeah,

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: so good to be back here. Just makes everything easier

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: and hopefully easier for everybody to listen and view us

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: as well, and certainly easier on the guys in the

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: control room. We don't have to do a split screen

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: the whole day show. So yeah, and plenty to discuss

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: as it relates to NFL quarterbacks, but let's let's start

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: here first. Let's get some of the news and notes

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: out of the way. David Culley formally named the new

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: head coach of the Houston Texans, So Leslie Frazier, at

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: least as it appears now, is going to be back

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo for the twenty twenty one season. The Bills

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: dodge a bullet. They do not lose a single coordinator.

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: You know, in an offseason where I think a lot

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: of us if we were better, if we were laying odds,

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: we probably would have said sixty forty, maybe seventy thirty five,

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: twenty five? How high would you have gone? Right? I

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: thought it was sent five. I It never ceases to

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: amaze me the unexpected turn A lot of these head

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: coaching hires happened. Certainly, the Jets hiring Salah was bang

41
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: on yeah, uh, you know you can see that. You

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: get that right, m The Chargers m hiring who was it,

43
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: Brandon's Staley. He of thirty seven years old and was

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: in Division three foot four years removed from Division three coaching.

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: That's and how many Super Bowls have the Charger has

46
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: been one day? Have won zero? And how many they've

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: been to one? With this leadership group the Texans, I'm

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: thinking there's a couple of candidates that probably no, thank

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: you them in your heart of hearts. Yeah, you believe that.

50
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: I really to leave that Detroit same thing they gave

51
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: they gave Dan Campbell, who has never been a coordinator.

52
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: He was an interim coach for twelve games in Miami

53
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: after I think that was after Nick Saban up and left, right,

54
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Wasn't that what happened there? Was that the Nick Saban departure.

55
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: I think it might have been. No, it was, oh no,

56
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: it was m Cam Cameron. That's right. Cam Cameron fired

57
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: after three games. Okay, so for four games Nick, and

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: you know Dan Campbell he got a six year deal,

59
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: which is you and you go inherit, you go inherit

60
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: that as a head coach, I'd want some job security

61
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: to Detroit's better than Houston. Well, let's see what they right,

62
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: let's see what they get. You got both quarterbacks are

63
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: going out the door. What the hell's the difference. Well,

64
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: at least you're at least you're you know, you get

65
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: at least yeah, right, Houston's way over the cap. They've

66
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: got their bereaft of talent. The way it is. The

67
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: stars they do have are J. J. Watt. He's well

68
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: passed his prime and his albatross and albatross and the

69
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: best player. The only thing that you have foundationally is

70
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback. And he has just demanded, like, get rid

71
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: of me. I'm out, I will not play for you anymore.

72
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: Trade me. And this is a guy who had a

73
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: no trade contract and his contract so he can he'll pick, well, yeah,

74
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: he can pick and choose it. So I'm thinking this

75
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: round now, Philly. Uh and the guy they got um,

76
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: and I can't think of Nick Sirianni. I've heard nothing

77
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: but still the reviews about it. I've heard the same

78
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: things about him that you hear about an Eric b enemy. Um,

79
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Quality guy, great coach, got some experience,

80
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: been on different staffs, even more so than the enemy.

81
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: He's been on you know, Sirianni's been on Philly, he's

82
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Chargers the Chargers, and he's been with Indianapolis so and

83
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, so he's got a feel for it. But

84
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what the it seems at face value

85
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: that some of these and you don't you don't have

86
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: a head coaching job open up unless there's some problems.

87
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: But man, I'm getting a feeling there's a lot of

88
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: people stiff Arm and Detroit, in Houston and a little

89
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: bit and a little bit San Diego too. Yeah, they're

90
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: like going, you know or la, right, La, We'll get that.

91
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: They're scared up in your brain. I think there's a

92
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: lot of candidates you're going, you know what I'm unless

93
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a path, unless I can do this,

94
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: this and this. You know, we're gonna have some hard

95
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: time working together, and the and the organization smartly says,

96
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna go in a different direction. Yeah.

97
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: I did think it was interesting that Brandon Bean, who

98
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: was on w g R this morning with Howard and Jeremy,

99
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: was asked about, you know, Frasier not getting the job,

100
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, he felt terrible for Leslie,

101
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: nobody deserves it more than him. He'd put him up

102
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: against any other candidate she was out there, and I'd

103
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: be in that same camp, especially since he has previous

104
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: head coaching experience. You know, every other person that got

105
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: hired in this cycle, none of them have head coaching experience,

106
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: except for Dan Campbell for those twelve games as interim

107
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: head coach. He's the only guy that is pain That

108
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: point is gunning to. That points to a very painful

109
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: truth for those organizations. They got some problems attracting quality

110
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: candidates for their job. And let me tell you this,

111
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: this organization was that way for a long time during

112
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: the drought. Yes, they had a hard time attracting quality candidates.

113
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: And that's where you see Detroit, that's where you see LA.

114
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: Certainly Houston at this point is an absolute dumpster fire.

115
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: Now I'm sure this Robert Salah taking the Jet job,

116
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: I have a hard time having seeing him going in

117
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: there saying, listen, here's what I need. I need a B,

118
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: C and D some assurances about this, this, this and this,

119
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: And at this point I would think maybe the Jets

120
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: said okay. Now, maybe they say that okay, then later

121
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: on they say well we decided not to, but I

122
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: think I don't know that remains to be seen. The

123
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: Jets do have an uncanny way of screwing stuff up.

124
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you can screw up Robert Sala,

125
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: because I mean, he was like the prized pig, one

126
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: of them, you know, one of them in the in

127
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: the head coaching cycle this time around, and the Jets

128
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: landed him despite years of futility. Well, I mean they

129
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: haven't had it ahead of ourselves here well right out

130
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: of the futile woods yet, right, But I mean I

131
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: was impressed that they were able to land him, I think,

132
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: and I know they have cat money to spend. They

133
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: still have a quarterback who's only twenty three years old

134
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: and I still think can play in this league. He

135
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: just needs proper development and coaching. And I think their

136
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: general manager has an idea on what he wants to

137
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: do in terms of a vision. And Joe Douglas, let's

138
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: not forget, he did not hire Adam Gaze. He came

139
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: a year after, so that was not his hire. So

140
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: his first hire is Robert Salid, Right, nice job. So

141
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes, and it's gonna be a

142
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: long build there too. Let's not kid ourselves. And here's

143
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: the thing too, some of these things and I don't

144
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: want to go over the world like that, like saying

145
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: that the like ownership groups are crazier, don't know what

146
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: they're doing. But think about it. Say, for instance, the

147
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, they're gonna go out and they got a

148
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: young hotshot coordinator coming in and he wants some control

149
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: and some say and some sway in the organization. They say, okay,

150
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, take it well. And then you get you know,

151
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel's tenure there where he drafts Tim Tebow as

152
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: a number one pick and it flames goes up in

153
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: flames around him, and other owners see that where Matt

154
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: Patricia comes into Detroit and get some things and does

155
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: some things his way and they make something and the

156
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: ownership groups gives him more sway than they have other

157
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: head coaches. It doesn't go well there, so they want

158
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: to react and say, wait a minute, we're taking back

159
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: some of the control over our next head coach. That

160
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I can't speak to the Philly program.

161
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: All I can see is make general observations like we are.

162
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: But some organizations probably look around and see what other

163
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: teams have done with their head coaches, the kind of

164
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: control they'd given them, and watched it in one way,

165
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: shape or form go up and smoke for whatever reason,

166
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: and they don't want to go down that road, or

167
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: it's a reaction to the last guy they had in

168
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: the building and saying, listen, we're not gonna do that again. Well,

169
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: that's a lot of what happened here when Wade Phillips

170
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: was showing the door after he refused to fire Ronnie Jones,

171
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: who was an abomination of a special teams coach. He

172
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: refused to fire him, he offered to reassign, that was denied.

173
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: Ralph said, well then you're gone too, and the whole

174
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: thing got swept out, and then you had a new

175
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: GM team president come in in Tom Donahoe, and the

176
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: prevailing consensus was Wade was two lax with the players.

177
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: We need a disciplinarian, somebody who's going to crack the whip.

178
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: And so they overcorrect and they hired Greg Williams, who

179
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: was blowing air horns and threatening to cut people every

180
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: single day training camp, right, And we still see it

181
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: now with some of the hires that we have right,

182
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: and and I think Ralph at that point, you know,

183
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: he was in his mid to late eighties, and he

184
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I can't do this every day

185
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: like this, which is why as the presidency and all that,

186
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: he said go ahead. And then Donahoe did half a

187
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: dozen things that Ralph would never have done or allowed

188
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: to be done. And it got back and he was like,

189
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: you know what, that's it, you know, so you run

190
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: this cycle through these hiring things. And and I've said

191
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: it for a long time and I got to know

192
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: this intimately or firsthand. Anyway, when I was a broadcaster

193
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: for CBS, I had an opportunity. You know, pre game,

194
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: we're down on the field talking people. Owners are always there.

195
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: Do you get a chance to have a brief and

196
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: sometimes insightful conversation about how they think and what they do?

197
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: And I've had owners talk to me that, the new

198
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: owners especially, they say, you know, it's amazing you buy

199
00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: this billion dollar entity and they bait the league. NFL

200
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: basically tosses you the keys of the building, says hey,

201
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: good luck, that's it. I mean, you don't get a

202
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: primer on how the league works. You don't get any nothing.

203
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: It's like, there you go and you have to find

204
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: your way about how to hire people, what kind of

205
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: hire you know, what kind of people to hire? How

206
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: football is different than whatever business you made your billions in.

207
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: What's different about this business? Why do I need to?

208
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: You know? And it's a it's like you're on a

209
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: raft adrift. So as you know, as similar as all

210
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: these jobs seem to be head coach of an NFL

211
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: football team, every organization, there are some subtle and apparent

212
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: differences in all of them that make each job unique.

213
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Starts with the owner, in the relationship there and how

214
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: hands on they are, that kind of thing. So it's

215
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: it's amazing how these this hiring cycle has gone. So

216
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: David Culley, at age sixty five, becomes the oldest first

217
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: time head coach in NFL history. So that will that's

218
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: an interesting thing, and you know, congrats to him. He

219
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: was a former quarterbacks coach here under Sean twenty seventeen

220
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, so then went to Baltimore where he was

221
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: the passing game coordinator for the last couple of years.

222
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: But you know, happy for him. But man, it really

223
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: does make you wonder when you see all these head

224
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: coaching jobs filled by coaches who have never had head

225
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: coaching experience at the NFL level, with the exception of

226
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, who had all of twelve games as an

227
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: interim head coach. Now, let me run this by you

228
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: and tell me if you can, if I can knock

229
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: you over with a feather with this one. Okay, the

230
00:12:53,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: two teams in the AFC title Game, Steve have not

231
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: lost a single coordinator. All six coordinators from the two

232
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: teams that appeared in the AFC Championship Game and collectively

233
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: went twenty seven and three in the regular season did

234
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: not lose a single coordinator from either of their coaching staffs.

235
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Twenty seven and four. We had three losses, they had

236
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: oh three, and they had two. Sorry, twenty seven and five. Five,

237
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: My bed, you're still pretty good winning percentage twenty seven

238
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: and five. I mean that stunned me. It's just stunned me.

239
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: I'll say this too. And I don't know, I don't

240
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: know the numbers, but I know mooks coordinators in the

241
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: NFL something. You know, you're pulling down seven figures, right,

242
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: You got a good it's a good gig. If you're qualified,

243
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: you're doing a great job. And you got the right players, right?

244
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: Why is it? And here's the thing to think about.

245
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: As you're guy, you're coming up. You love the game

246
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: and you love helping guys win, and you're making your

247
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: living doing it, and you're actually making a really good living.

248
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: You've got a great reputation as a coordinator, like a

249
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: Brian day Boy. You've bounced around to different levels. You

250
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: went to college on a national championship. You have all

251
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: different position with each a bunch and you kind of

252
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: moved out and you knew too that there was kind

253
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: of a ceiling in New England where you're only gonna

254
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: get because they already had a coordinator and they were

255
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: they were real stable. So you're gonna have to leave

256
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: there to do some things. So you go to the jet.

257
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, you bounce around. Same thing with b Enemy.

258
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: He's been around, played as a player. Got into it,

259
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: of course. Leslie Frazier, who played on the eighty five Bears,

260
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: has been in coaching forever, was on He's an Interima

261
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: head coach in Minnesota. Get into it because you love

262
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: the game and you want to be a coach and

263
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: help young guys and you enjoy that part of it,

264
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: and that the interaction with your fellow coaches about putting

265
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: a game plan together, watching film and strategizing. You love

266
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: doing it. And you got this gig going as an

267
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator or a defensive coordinator, even a special teams coordinator,

268
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: and you're loving it. And you get this deal offered

269
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: to you're saved by the Houston Texans or it's on

270
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: the table for you to go out there and go

271
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: get it. And and you look, the more you look

272
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: into it, it's this. You know, the ownership relationship isn't

273
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: right that the franchise player wants out. You've got no

274
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: draft picks and no money to spend to get players.

275
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be an absolute dumpster fire for a

276
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: year and a half maybe two before you can even

277
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: begin to build on it. And there's and ultimately, you know,

278
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: because of the ownership structure and the guy's involved, it

279
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: is never going to be successful. At least you can't

280
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: see a path to success there. Are you going to

281
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: take that job? If you take that job knowing all

282
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: that you're doing it for the money, and if you've

283
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: already got a you know, a really good gig going

284
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: now that's really successful, that's going to do nothing but

285
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: enhance your ability to get maybe a better opportunity. Do

286
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: you take a job just for the cash, knowing you're

287
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: never going to be successful and subject yourself and your

288
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: family to four or five years or three years or

289
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: whatever it's gonna be. Or do you say, you know what,

290
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm smart enough to know I got a

291
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: good gig here. I'm gonna hang for a minute. Yeah,

292
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang right here. Well, that's what getting back

293
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: to what Brandon Being said on WGR this morning. He

294
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: was on with Howard and Jeremy, and you know, he

295
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: was lamenting the fact that Leslie Frasier lost out on

296
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: an opportunity that was that seemed like he was a

297
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: finalist four. He went down there for a second interview

298
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: in person on Monday this week and then it didn't

299
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: pan out for him. But he began, and I'm gonna

300
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: quote Brandon because I don't want to misquote him here,

301
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: but he said, I thought Dabel had a really good

302
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: shot at the Chargers job. It was sounding like and

303
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: then that fell through, and then you know, Leslie Frasier

304
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: got passed over and it's a shame. And then he

305
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: went on to talk about Leslie and how he thinks

306
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: he's well qualified and he put him up against anybody.

307
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: You gotta wonder what happened in LA with the Chargers too,

308
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: because you know the close personal relationship between the gmtom

309
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: To LESCo and Brian Dabele. I don't know anything, but

310
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: I can only imagine that the snaff who came down

311
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: the pike at the ownership level. Wouldn't you think that

312
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: like the owner said, Oh no, I like this flashy

313
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: young guy here with the ramps who's got the number

314
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: one defense. I like him. I couldn't you see. That's

315
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: how things can turn on it get turned on its head, right, Yes,

316
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: oh absolutely, you know, and I don't want to give

317
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: the wrong impression like that. Every owner, you know, stays

318
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: out and then when they find out some of the specifics,

319
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: they parachute in and say no, no, no no, we're gonna

320
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: do it this way. Most most of them, I would say,

321
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: most don't do that. Most don't do that. And there

322
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: have been times a different you know where you hear

323
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: about it happening in the past, but I think more

324
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: so than now, you know, they've got particularly and well,

325
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: when they're doing it right, that doesn't happen because the

326
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: owners engage from start to finish and agrees on the

327
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: plan before you start the interview process. Yeah, I it

328
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: just strikes me that there's some incong and has nothing

329
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: to do. And we had, you know, yesterday, we had

330
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: a guest on yesterday who's Cross Smart Cross, and he

331
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: said and he got into the you know, the the

332
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: minority hirings and stuff like that. I think this goes

333
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: even deeper than that. I think this is all about

334
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: what the ownership wants this head coach to do, and

335
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: how the head coach feels what he has to have

336
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: to be successful. And some of the candidates are are

337
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: smart enough to say to to lead the interview into

338
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: a no thank you situation where neither one of them

339
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: they just never get offered the job. So I guess

340
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: what you're saying is they know they're not what the

341
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: owner wants and so they kind of almost cleverly talked

342
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: them their way out of being considered for the job.

343
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: What do you say. I think that I think the

344
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: conversation at the end of these interviews, say, for instance,

345
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: Leslie goes down there on a Monday to interview for

346
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: the second time or Tuesday and they starting, and they all, right,

347
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: so if we're thinking about offering, would you, you know,

348
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about it and what would you

349
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: really get into need from? And he'd say, I need.

350
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: I need to say in personnel, I need to say

351
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: in draft, I need a seven year deal because the

352
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: first three years of this is going to be a

353
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: dumpster fire. And I need you to stay out of

354
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: my way. And I need the GM to have this

355
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: responsibility I need. And they're saying, well, we can do

356
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: this and this and this, but we can't do that

357
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: and that and that. And he says, you know, I

358
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: get it, but here's why, and I said, and they

359
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: and the conversation he goes, he goes, I don't know.

360
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: And one of the stipulations that the Texans had was clearly,

361
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: you are going to inherit the offensive coordinator Tim Kelly,

362
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: because Tim Kelly is staying on that staff with David Culley.

363
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: And there were several overtures made to the Texans, hey,

364
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: can we interview Tim Kelly for the offense or you

365
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: know our position or this or that, and they refused

366
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: every single time. Denial, denial, denial, denial, and so Tim

367
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: Kelly was locked into his current contract under the previous

368
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: regime with the Texans, that's gotta be a you know,

369
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: now you've got a head coaching canidate, it's got to

370
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: come in and it's like, well, this is your OC.

371
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: If you take the job, it's like WHOAOA wait what

372
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: you know? So, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. And if

373
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: there were some people that turned down the opportunity for

374
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: some of those very reasons, and think about why the

375
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: Houston Texans would want to do that, if they, like

376
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: if hoping that maybe Deshaun Watson would think twice and

377
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: bring him back. But they've also seen that work. Frank

378
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: Reich was inherited, Eberflus, the defensive guy that Seun Josh McDonel,

379
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: Malarkey inherited, Jerry Gray here, the whole defensive staff. They

380
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: got all that going on. They've seen it either work

381
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: or not work in the past, and they figured out,

382
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: let's give it a try. Because this guy's really good

383
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: and he's got a relationship with Deshaun, maybe that'll salvage it.

384
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: It's not going to obviously, yeah, but all of that

385
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: stuff goes into the mix. And I think these I

386
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: think ownership at some levels gotta. They gotta when you're

387
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: hiring a sixty five year old guy who's never been

388
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: a head coach, a thirty seven year old guy who's

389
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: never been a head coach. Well just name everybody, right,

390
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: everybody that has a job has never been a full

391
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: time head coach, all seven of them that got hired

392
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: in this hiring cycle this year. Now, there are certainly

393
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: some coordinators that you could say, Okay, you know this

394
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: guy is ready for this step. He's he's made these

395
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: steps all along. What Campbell was a head coach for

396
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: almost a full season, twelve games. I get that. Yeah,

397
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: it's you know, Robert Sala paid his dues as a coordinator.

398
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he was ready to take this step, you

399
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean, even though he's never been a

400
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: head coach before it made sense. He's a leaders. There's

401
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: some of these others where your indicator all this stuff. Yeah,

402
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I just think and I think

403
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: you get to the point where maybe it's and I

404
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: don't want to say they're not quality, because I think

405
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: they probably are qualified, but they maybe they've decided to

406
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: Some of these candidates and I'm sure some of them

407
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: have some of the other candidates getting to the point

408
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: where I saying, listen if I don't get ABC and

409
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: D or they come in and they finally at the

410
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: at the second interview, they meet the ownership group or

411
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: they meet the people who are in the owner's ear

412
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: and the canddice like, wait, you're you're the owner and

413
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: you're taking advice from him him and him or her,

414
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: him and her and him and her, these people? Who

415
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: are these people? Why are you listening to this guy?

416
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: Who is that? You know? And it's like, yeah, I

417
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, And so literally, less than twenty four

418
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: hours after David Culley is essentially announced as the head

419
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: coach of the Houston Texans, a number of national reporters

420
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: have the news that Deshaun Watson has formally asked for

421
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: a trade from the Texans. Now, it's a little unclear

422
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: as to where this request was officially made and when

423
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: it was officially made. There are some reports out there

424
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: that this was made several weeks ago. Well, it might

425
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: have been made private several weeks ago, but right, yeah,

426
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: now it's public. And so this stuff has hit the

427
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: fan officially in Houston, as they will need to find

428
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: a way to get proper compensation for one of the

429
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: five best quarterbacks in football right now, who also, oh,

430
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: by the way, is twenty five years old. Right, And

431
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing that and I read this, and this

432
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: is true. Now, the Houston Texans can say no, we're

433
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: not going to trade you, and they can really mean it, yeah,

434
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: or they can say no unless we get the right deal,

435
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: or yes, okay, we'll do our best to trade you. Right.

436
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: So that's it, I mean, that's that's the limitations of

437
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: the Texans are in um. But Deshaun Watson, in order

438
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: to enforce this request for a trade, he's got to

439
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: sit down be willing to lose a season. And I

440
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: don't I wouldn't be surprised for he's only do ten million.

441
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: I say only, he's only do ten and a half

442
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: million dollars this year. But he's already been paid quite

443
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: a bit on the extension that he signed through a

444
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: signing bonus. He won't have to give any of that back. Well,

445
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: he's one year removed from a four year, one hundred

446
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: and seventy one million dollars contract with one hundred and

447
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars guaranteed. So and now he wants out,

448
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: I mean talk about a headache. That is a gigantic

449
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: headache for Houston, not only because of the cap implications

450
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: involved in what is going to be a restrictive cap year.

451
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: But you trade this guy DeAndre Hopkins in back to

452
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: back seasons and then you're forced to cut JJ Watt.

453
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you're you're presumably gonna get some first

454
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: round picks in return to make use of to try

455
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: to replenish your roster, but you don't draft right or

456
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: hit on the picks you're inheriting. You could set this

457
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: franchise back a decade. Well, I think that, I mean

458
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: the decade started last ye year. I mean that Bill

459
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: O'Brien really gutted the roster for I don't know what

460
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: he got in return except he got hey, well he

461
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: got nothing, I mean DeAndre Hopkins. Whatever. They're in a mess.

462
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: They went from being a playoff team. They were up

463
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: twenty four to nothing on the Chiefs in the Division

464
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs last year, and now they are

465
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: an absolute train wrecked dumpster fire. It's unbelievable how fast

466
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: they fell. Unbelievable. Now, if there is something that's prohibitive

467
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: in his contract for some teams who may not be

468
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: able to stomach it, although I suppose you can always

469
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: restructure at a later time after you consummate a trade.

470
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: I mean, his cap hit next year is thirty five million.

471
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: Now the team that gets him, that's his base salary

472
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: next year thirty five million dollars and then five point

473
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: four on amortized bonus. That's twenty two. Twenty two is

474
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: his thirty five million this year? Years ten. Yeah, but

475
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: if you're a smart football team, yeah, he's very tradeable

476
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: this year with this cap number. Um, but man, you

477
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: better fix that in hurry and extend him out well. Yeah,

478
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: plus even get an idea of where the Caps headed

479
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: that may give you some relief. I mean, with the

480
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: cap skyrockets because of the television deals, then the thirty

481
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 1: five million becomes like maybe the equivalent of what twenty

482
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: five million? Maybe, I don't know, something's affordable either way,

483
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: that's that's an issue that makes him tradeable this season. Yeah,

484
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see him and who's going to

485
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: be in the in the running for that. And and

486
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: he's not the only one. Matt Stafford's the same thing.

487
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: He's going to be out on the market, right, which

488
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: prompted our Twitter poll today, quite frankly, what's the most

489
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: intriguing NFL quarterback storyline heading into the offseason? For some

490
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: Bills fans, it might be, Hey, does Josh Allen get

491
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: an extension? Which was another thing that we'll get into

492
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: after the break, because Brandon being addressed that very subject

493
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: on WGR this morning in an interview with Howard and Jeremy.

494
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that comment after we take a

495
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: break here at the bottom of the hour, But we

496
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: want to know from you, whether it's Deshaun Watson and

497
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: where he ends up hopefully not the AFC East, whether

498
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: it's Carson Wentz and Philly. Has that been repaired? Is

499
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: he going to stay put? It sounds like he is.

500
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: We know Matthew Stafford's on the move. Jimmy Garoppolo could

501
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: be on the move. Jared Goff, there was no voted

502
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: confidence there in LA when less sneed the GM this

503
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: week said, well, he's on our roster at this point,

504
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: Holy crow, you want to talk about ABC later. He's

505
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: a ram at this point, Good lord man. He was

506
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: the first pick in the draft and he's been your

507
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback the last four years. That guy, I mean

508
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: he went to the Super Bowl. You don't have to

509
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: even read between the lines on that, right, what would

510
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: you see? Come on, you're you're a former player. You

511
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: hear your GM say that about you in a season

512
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: wrap up press conference. Do you think you're long for

513
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: the team? No? I think it's no. No, you know

514
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: you and these guys are smart enough to know that.

515
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm everybody knows it. Um, he knew it before the

516
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: general manager said that. Um, believe me, Believe me, he

517
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: knew it before that. That there's no secrets in that

518
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: inside that building and in any building like that. And

519
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: it sounds like it was somewhat prompted by some of

520
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: the wacky decisions he would make. Sometimes he would just

521
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: kill them with a horrible decision that inevitably would wind

522
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: up in an interception, and and he costs them games.

523
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: This year, they still made the playoffs. And then you know,

524
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: I know he had the thumb thing and at the

525
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: end of the year, and that's why they had to

526
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: put John Wolford in Who's He's Will's nephew? Is that right?

527
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: Will Wolford's That's cool. I didn't know that. I know

528
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: you mentioned it when he finally got his first start

529
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: there at the end of the season and played a

530
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: twin on the Five Presidents. About I'm sure you were

531
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: you'd think too. Think about this if you're gonna if

532
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: you saw Matt Stafford and Jared Golf and both teams

533
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: want to get rid of it, what if both those

534
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: teams traded across out of division and all of that,

535
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: you get a younger version. Um, that just strikes me

536
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: as like, oh, Stafford is way better than way better,

537
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: way better, and so Deshaun Watson way better. Golf and

538
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: Garoppolo are kind of the same commodity as I see it.

539
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: Maybe I wonder what happened to do what happened to Garoppolo?

540
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. He was like the best thing since thin.

541
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: New England would entertain taking him back, Yes, right, I

542
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: think they would. He looked pretty good when he played

543
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: for them. You know, you know what you would get

544
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: New England would know the commodity they would be getting,

545
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: they'd be getting it back. Um, that would be more experience. Okay, yeah,

546
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: would that be a giant you know haha to the

547
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: league of Bill Belichick brought that guy back and then

548
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: started win winning with him. I think he's done that

549
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: more than once already, hasn't he? I mean he won

550
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: eleven freaking games with Matt Castle. What did Matt Castle

551
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: the way after that? Yeah? I mean eleven games, Yeah,

552
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: eleven and five with Matt Castle. I know, um, yeah,

553
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: that's that would be interesting. And you know, with the

554
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: cap dollars that the teams in this division have to spend,

555
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, they can inherit a quarterback contract in many cases,

556
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: Jets could do it easily. They should just Miami Arnold

557
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: Fami could do it easily. I'm I'm with you, though,

558
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm I kind of hope that the Dolphins stick with

559
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: TWOA because he doesn't have any elite traits. Great guy,

560
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: great kid, smart, smart, but he's never gonna out special.

561
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: And Mark Ross who said the same thing. He was

562
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: a college scouting director at age twenty seven. I mean,

563
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: that guy knows his stuff. And he said he wasn't

564
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: on the two A train either, So right, I felt

565
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: I kind of felt good that I that I saw

566
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: that somebody who's got a far more train, I was

567
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve. I just it's nice that after

568
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: being around this league as long as I have, that

569
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: I actually have a semblance of an idea as to

570
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: what looks good and what does You're a highly underta.

571
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: Nobody's beaten down my door. Um, we have to take

572
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: a break, but when we come back, we want to

573
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: play him. Brandon being sound from an interview he had

574
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: this morning on WGR when he was asked if a

575
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: contract extension could be worked out for Josh Allen this

576
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: offseason despite the very restrictive salary cap that was prompted

577
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: by the COVID pandemic. We'll have that for you when

578
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: we return here on One Bill's Live, presented by a

579
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: lot of Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back

580
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: you under live first, perhaps we past through with you.

581
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: Wanted to pass along a comment that was made by

582
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: general manager Brandon Bean this morning in an interview on

583
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: WGR with Howard and Jeremy on the Morning Show. He

584
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: was on with them and kind of shared some of

585
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: his similar thoughts to that of his seasoned rap up

586
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: press conference on Wednesday, and probably the most noteworthy comment

587
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: was when Howard asked him, you know you have a

588
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: restrictive salary cap due to the COVID pandemic revenue losses.

589
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: The cap right now, one seventy five until we're told otherwise.

590
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: With that kind of restrictive cap, is it even possible

591
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: to make a contract extension work for Josh Allen this

592
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: off season? Here's what Brandon said, No, I think we

593
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: could make something fit. Yeah, I do. I mean, without

594
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: getting into how we would do it. I think there's

595
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: ways we can make it fit. Again. Well, I'm looking

596
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: forward to here real soon, hopefully in the next few weeks,

597
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: finding out what this cap is going to be, or

598
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: at least close to what it's going to be, so

599
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: that we can start looking at at some of our

600
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: pending free agents. But now there's there's ways that we

601
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: can do it, and we'll have to We'll have to

602
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: be created with it for sure, based on our current

603
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: cap situation, But I definitely think it can be done,

604
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: so some creativity would be involved. It wouldn't shock me. Steve,

605
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: and I know you and I talked about this if

606
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: it if it mirrored something similar to what the Chiefs

607
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: did with Patrick Mahomes, where it's you know, there's there's

608
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: more guaranteed money. It's kind of pushed back a little

609
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: bit from the first couple of years. You definitely have

610
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: to do it. For this year, if you tear up

611
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: the current contract and start anew or maybe attack off

612
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: and stuff to the current existing Yeah, maybe it's an

613
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: extension that kicks in after his fifth year, but a

614
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: good chunk of it would be guaranteed. You could do

615
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: a number of ways. You could throw out the remaining

616
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: two years of his contracts, start from now, give him

617
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: a seven or eight year deal and have it back

618
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: end loaded. But a lot of it's guaranteed that you

619
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: could be paid at different increments throughout the life of

620
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: the contracts, so that the team would have some relief

621
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: with the cap and with their cash flow as well.

622
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff is on the table, and

623
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: it's just as creative as you want to be getting

624
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: it done. And what Josh is willing to say? Okay,

625
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: I like the sound of that, right, So yeah, you

626
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: have to have to take two of them because you

627
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: know how you know, have we ever seen anybody that's

628
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: more self aware than Josh. No, So I'm pretty sure

629
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: he hasn't an idea of what he's worth and if

630
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: he is in his agent certainly, so he's not going

631
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: to sit there and go just anything will do, right, Yeah, No,

632
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: but it is a small issue in comparison to what

633
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: a lot of other teams across the league are facing,

634
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: which is namely trying to find that guy or to

635
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: move the guy they thought was that guy, which is

636
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: what a lot of teams are trying to do right now.

637
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I'm pretty convinced the la

638
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 1: Rams are going to move on from Jared Goff provided

639
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: they can find something comparable or better, or something with

640
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: what they believe to be a higher ceiling than him. Yeah,

641
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: Watson is as good as gone. Stafford is going to

642
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: be moved. They've mutually agreed on a parting. So that's

643
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: three alone right there. Dak Prescott doesn't have a contract

644
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: in Dallas. Sam Arnold, Willie stay or will he go.

645
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: It's largely predicated on what they decide to do with

646
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: the second pick in the draft. And then you have

647
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger with a forty one million dollar cap figure

648
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. I have to believe one of which happens

649
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: at the beginning of free agency or something like that.

650
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: He gets he gets a roster bonus due and like

651
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: March first or something like that. I mean, it's a

652
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: free agency opens March seventeenth. Ruh, yikes. Yeah, I have

653
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: to believe the Steelers are gonna have to get to

654
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: the same point that the Lions are at. You're gonna

655
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: have to just have a mutual parting there. They can't

656
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: afford that one million dollars. It's they can afford it.

657
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: The question is is it gonna be worth it? It's

658
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: not gonna be one. Here's the thing, and it's it's

659
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: a big there's a big gray area there because listen,

660
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: if they get rid of Ben Okay, who is the

661
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Steelers, well it's Dwayne Haskins. Is it

662
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: going to be Listen, is it gonna be somebody that

663
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: is gonna give you a basic like if you get

664
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: a guy who's gonna be it's gonna be a huge

665
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: drop off. But is it gonna be a forty two

666
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: million dollars drop off or only a five five million

667
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: dollars drop off? If you you know what I'm saying.

668
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean, how big a drop off is it going

669
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: to be? The question did you save the money and

670
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: spend it other places so you can help a new

671
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: guy or bolster the rest of your roster or the guy,

672
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: or get bud Dupree back in the building. Who's going

673
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: to be a free agent, you know, right? So you

674
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: spend that money on the roster around whatever guy does

675
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: turn out to be the guy, and you try and

676
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: do the best you can this year and win with

677
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: defense and run of the football. Or do you pay

678
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: Ben and strap your whole entire hope, yeah on him.

679
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: I would not at this point in time. I have

680
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: a hard time getting there as well. We want to

681
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: know where you're at on this eighth three five fifty one,

682
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: eight fifty two, five fifty what's the most intriguing NFL

683
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: quarterback storyline heading into the off season. We want to

684
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: begin today with the tweet sheet, which, as you know,

685
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

686
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. And we begin

687
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: with Steve who says, as a Bills fan, it's Josh Allen.

688
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: The last two years he has worked his tail off,

689
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: made huge jumps both years. Knowing Josh's work ethic, he

690
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: will do the same kind of work and I'm sure

691
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 1: Digs will be with him every step of the way.

692
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: What surprises will he have in store for us next season?

693
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't surprise me that they're interested in seeing

694
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: what the next step could be for Josh Allen, because

695
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: all we have heard is he not he has not

696
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: yet reached his ceiling. We heard that from his Hube

697
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: Summit coach consultant in this off season, and Jordan Palmer

698
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean said it yesterday. He hasn't reached his ceiling.

699
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: We think he's capable of more and better. So yeah,

700
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: I get why Bills fans are intrigued by that as

701
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback storyline. Forget about everybody else in the league.

702
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: We got our guy. I'm curious to see what he

703
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: can do next year? Right and our aren't you doing

704
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: one of these show that you don't have to worry

705
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: about that garbage? I mean, just think about all these

706
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: teams that are sitting in their office buildings right now,

707
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: going what the hell are we gonna do? If you

708
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: think about it, man, that was that was That was

709
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: a Bill's mafia's kitchen. Who we can we find a quarterback?

710
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: And who's gonna coach this team as either? Right, guy,

711
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? And we got no cap

712
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: to spend? That was the kitchen that this franchise lived

713
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: in for seven fifteen years. Yeah right, So it's is

714
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: so nice to have a different set of problems for

715
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: a change. Yeah right. I mean we all got problems

716
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: that this team's got. You know, we're trying to chase

717
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: the Chiefs down. We're trying you know, we're trying to

718
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: get better on all front all that stuff. Yeah, but

719
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the most important position.

720
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: It's so nice to have the problems we've got now

721
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: rather than the ones we had for fifteen years. From

722
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: Nick t on the tweet sheet, Deshaun is the biggest story,

723
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: and I'm praying he doesn't end up in Miami and

724
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: New England. If he goes to the Jets, they might

725
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: still be dysfunctional enough to waste his talent like Houston

726
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: with fire. If DeShawn goes to New York, Darnold's out.

727
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: Darnold is out, and now he's going somewhere. Yeah, because

728
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: it's just it's not sustainable. Number one, Darnold will end

729
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: up in New England. Um, come on, don't why did

730
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: you just do that? You just ruined my Thursday. Steve,

731
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: don't say stuff like that. That is a reckless statement. Steve,

732
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: do not say that you're well, don't speaking into existence.

733
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: He's going somewhere. Listen, it's Cam Newton, a gonna be there.

734
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: Well no, oh yeah, there's another guy, Cam Newton. I

735
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: wonder if he's even gonna have a job. I Steve

736
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: after the Bills played the Patriots. Newton actually had a

737
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: halfway decent game against the Bills in the first meeting. Okay,

738
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: then I can't remember what I was watching. I want

739
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: to say I was, Oh, I know what it was.

740
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: I was getting ready for Bills Niners Monday night game.

741
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and I watched I watched all twenty two

742
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: Niners pay Riots. Who I watched that? I came on

743
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: the air and the next day I said, I don't

744
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: think Cam Newton's gonna have his starting job ever again.

745
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: Ever again, it's a rough year. Like Steve off a Cliff.

746
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: That guy was the MVP of the league six years ago.

747
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: Bill's game where I was like, oh, he can't throw

748
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: to the flat and complete a pass. I don't know

749
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: what happened to that guy. I really don't like. I

750
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: understand multiple shoulder surgeries, he had the foot problems, um

751
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: and and I think even in his MVP year he

752
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,959
Speaker 1: was only like a sixty one percent passer. So he's

753
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: never been this juggernaut of accuracy accuracy, but man alive,

754
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 1: I've never seen someone as physically gifted as that so

755
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: precipitously drop off the face of the earth. Just I mean,

756
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: he went from Ah, it's stunning. I mean he's throwing

757
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: like fifty nine footers. You know, he's like a pitcher

758
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: bouncing it into the catcher. It was just it was terrible, terrible.

759
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: There's a rough season and it's amazing too. A guy

760
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: who's you know, it was Oh gosh, that's yeah, that's

761
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 1: that's one of us, one of them right there. Who

762
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: I mean, we we're watching highlights as we're talking to you,

763
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: so we're kind of getting mesmerized by the futility of it.

764
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: It's amazing. So I this it's I'm telling you, the

765
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: NFL is an unbelievable entity. Right. They got an entire

766
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: season in during a global pandemic that it was one

767
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 1: of the most successful seasons ever certainly for this franchise.

768
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: We're all loving it, even though we couldn't watch it

769
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: in person. They got all the games in and they're

770
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna roll into the off season. The Senior Bowls going

771
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: on down in Mobile, and all of this stuff's going on,

772
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be as interesting and off season as

773
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: it almost as it was last year. With quarterbacks moving,

774
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: teams changing their entire name. The Bills change their entire

775
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: identity over the course of the off season. They became

776
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: an offense throwing the ball first team instead of a

777
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,959
Speaker 1: defense run the ball first team. All this stuff's changing,

778
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: and you gotta it's gonna be fun to see how

779
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: this all takes place. I mean free as he's going

780
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: to be in an absolute now. Nick t on the tweet,

781
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: she was saying, he's just concerned that Deshaun Watson doesn't

782
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: end up in our division. And there was an interesting

783
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: tweet by Football Perspective that one of members of our

784
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: crack staff, Jeff coltonac passed along to us in terms

785
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: of the draft capital that other NFL clubs have to

786
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: offer should there be some trade proposal put together for

787
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. The team with the most draft capital as

788
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: we know is Jacksonville. I think they have twelve or

789
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: thirteen draft picks this year. They've got a ton, so

790
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: they have the most draft capital, but they also have

791
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: the first pick, and they may just be happy with

792
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and go that route, although Deshaun Watson would

793
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: certainly be enticing. Number two on the list is the

794
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: chance second most draft and this is before compensatories are awarded, granted,

795
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: but man, they've got the second most draft capital. Third Miami,

796
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: and we've seen the reports out there that his top

797
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: two choices are Miami in New York. Ah, you want

798
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: to talk about some offseason angst, Steve, you thought you

799
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: had angst worrying about Brian Dabele or Leslie Fraser leaving

800
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: and getting a head coaching job. How about adding Deshaun

801
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: Watson to your division? Son of them? Gun Man? That yeah,

802
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that. After those three teams, it kind

803
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: of levels off, right, So it's yeah, it's gonna be

804
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: interesting because we now you kind of do kind of

805
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: have to watch the Dolphins and the Jets. What's going

806
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: to happen with those two. They got a lot of

807
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on, but two throws a

808
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: wrench in it for the Dolphins. I don't think they're

809
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: gonna be ready to kick him to the curb unless

810
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: Brian Flores knows what he's looking at the Arizona Cardinals

811
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: did and they only did it for the number one

812
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. That's true. Yeah, it's a crazy

813
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: good point. There's times like this you say there are

814
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: no precedents in the league. The Arizona Cardinals just did it.

815
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: It's just right. It's bananas, nothing new under the sun.

816
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: All right, we gotta take a break. But when we

817
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: come back, more of this quarterback conversation. As we ask you,

818
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: what is the most intriguing NFL quarterback storyline heading into

819
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: the offseason? Ton of choices to pick from. We want

820
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: to know where you're at on it eight three five

821
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: fifty one, eight eight five fifty two, five fifty and

822
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet at One Bill's Live. We're back

823
00:45:51,920 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: in a moment. All right, back on One Bill's Live.

824
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: I've got a short segment here, but I did want

825
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: to bring this up, and I prefaced this with Steve

826
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: already we are talking about quarterbacks today, so it fits in.

827
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: But I read this and I almost threw up on

828
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: the spot. When you get upset, and when I read

829
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: this again, I may do it again. But it was

830
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: revealed through Tampa Bay general manager Jason light who was

831
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: recently on the Peter King podcast that Tom Brady was

832
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: considering a number switch to go along with his new

833
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: team when he went to the Bucks. So apparently he

834
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: was a little uneasy about taking number twelve away from

835
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, so he said, oh, maybe I shouldn't take

836
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: his number. He's a good player, blah blah blah. So

837
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: he apparently told Light, Hey, you know what number I'm

838
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: thinking of. I'm thinking of taking number seven? Is that available?

839
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: And Light, and recalling the conversation, says, yeah, I think

840
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: it is. And then I asked Tom why seven? And

841
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: Brady said, going after that seventh Super Bowl? Hell, oh

842
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: my goshoo you who? I want to throw up just

843
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: really with this guy? Really? Oh well, you know, going

844
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: after that seventh Super Bowl, Holy cow, I gagged in

845
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: my throat, had to choke it back down. That was terrible. Oh,

846
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: I can't even look at this guy. We're gonna have

847
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: to watch this guy a week from Sunday again again.

848
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: And you know, and bitter as I am about the

849
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: Bills losing to the Chiefs, I am rooting hard for

850
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: the AFC here, Yeah, I am too. I mean I

851
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: know that there's some Bills fans that didn't like the

852
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: chippy nature that the that the Chiefs Bills game got

853
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: into a little bit um and I at that. That's

854
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm cheering for the chief So I think

855
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know. I didn't even thought about it

856
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: that much. I'm not. I don't have the white hot

857
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: hatred of Brady that you do because I've interacted with

858
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: him a time or two. And oh yeah, which makes

859
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: it even worse. Oh, he's a fantastic guy and he

860
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: is right, he's a great guy. I won't I won't

861
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: go there. I'll just let you fester in it. I

862
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: know that. I know Jim Kelly said that a number

863
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: of times. Fantastic dude guy. And then you see him

864
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: he's seeking his son out in the crowd last week.

865
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't want to like

866
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: this guy. He is. He's great for a reason. There's

867
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: no question he is great for a reason. And yeah,

868
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: and it's for the right reasons too, So yeah, he

869
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: just fans can hate him. But yeah, you let me

870
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,439
Speaker 1: tell you this. There'll be a time when he goes

871
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 1: away from the NFL in the next couple of years,

872
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: and Bill's fans are gonna. You have to at that

873
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: point say, you know what, we saw him as much

874
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: as anybody, and we're the as we're victimized or anything. Um,

875
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: I have had a rose seat, the greatest guy to

876
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: ever do it. I have. I have enough maturity in

877
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: my bones to respect his game. I do respect his game,

878
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 1: but I still don't like him. He brings back all

879
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: of my childhood memories. He's the tour of my teenage

880
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: year memories of Michael Jordan and hating that guy. You

881
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: hated Michael Jordans, Yes, because my team could not get

882
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 1: past him to win a championship. Nicks. The Knicks couldn't

883
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: get by the Charlotte Hornets, let alone. They were a

884
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 1: very good team come the early and mid nineties, and

885
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: you can't blame Michael Jordan for the Knicks. They went.

886
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: They lost them in the playoffs like five years in

887
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: a rope, including the Eastern Conference. Finally, how many teams

888
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: are in the NBA like twenty eight something thirties and

889
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: twenty five of them get to the playoffs? Broce Leavage. Yeah,

890
00:49:55,160 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: so let's just pump the back seat for the record sixteen. Um, anyway,

891
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 1: I get you, but so yeah, you don't like Michael Jordan.

892
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: Well again, mature enough to respect him and recognize him

893
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: as the best player to ever play. And I don't

894
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: know anybody can say whatever they want about Lebron, it's Jordan. Sorry, um,

895
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: I don't know enough enough maturity to respect Michael Jordan.

896
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: But my god, you want to talk about getting disappointed

897
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: every single year by that guy? God, I could not

898
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: stand him, couldn't stand him. Guy was a guy was

899
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: like a knife through my heart every year. Here's the thing,

900
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: it's not Michael and it's Lebron. What about a lot

901
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: of people claim it's Kobe. Kobe I think is five titles.

902
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: Kobe is the closest thing to Jordan as I see it,

903
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 1: I know to me different to me, Lebron is like magic.

904
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: That's that's who Lebron is. He's magic to me, better

905
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: scorer than than magic. But I think doing part because

906
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: he has to be magic. Didn't have to score thirty

907
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: points a game or twenty five points a game because

908
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: he had Kareem and James Worthy and Byron Scott. I mean,

909
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: he had he had a myriad of guys to just

910
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: pass the ball to let me, let me just take

911
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: the middle room to give you this totally vanilla take

912
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: that is like, I think Lebron is every bit as

913
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: great as Michael was in the league that he played in,

914
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 1: because it was vastly different than the league that Michael

915
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: played in was so great. The league is very different

916
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: in Lebron's ability, Lebron's ability to carry a franchise, the

917
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,919
Speaker 1: way he carried the Miami Heat, the way he carried

918
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers, and now the way he's carrying the

919
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Lakers, all three of those, and the way

920
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: he's handled and even having self awareness of how his

921
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: role was different in all of those, I think that

922
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: puts him on a different level than than those other guys.

923
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: But Mike was every bit as impressive and everything he

924
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: did while he was with the Bulls back of the Knights,

925
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that guy was That guy was up an

926
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: unbelievable competitor and a guy who now we can't you know,

927
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: we didn't know it then, but it just just ran

928
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: that team. That's the roster, like hold those guys accountable.

929
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: And there were teams when they're guys they didn't like him.

930
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: That guy was an outright assassin and he would kill

931
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: he would kill people on his own team. On his

932
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: own team if it meant winning, he would crush their

933
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: spirit every day trying to make him stronger. That guy

934
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: would take his mom's lunch money. Right, that's the So

935
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: Kobe was the same way on the court. Right, So

936
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: I'm I'm Mike was the same way on the court

937
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: as off the court, Kobe was different. How how do

938
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: we get in these weeds? I'm fine with this. Um,

939
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: We'll take a break, come back with more talking about Yeah,

940
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about quarterbacks if you can believe it. As

941
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 1: we want to know the most intriguing NFL quarterback storyline

942
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: that you'll be paying attention to in this offseason. Is

943
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: it Deshaun Watson and whether he ends up in the

944
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: AFC East as it looks like he's going to be traded.

945
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 1: Is it Stafford going somewhere else in the AFC instead

946
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: of the NFC to create more of a log jam

947
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: him a quarterback in this conference? Let us know what

948
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: you think. It is? Eight three, five fifty Back in

949
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 1: a moment here on one Bill's Live, presented by Collid

950
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:20,760
Speaker 1: to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Falow Bills Radio Network,

951
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: Sports Date, Your Sports update from one Bill's Drive looking

952
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: more and a little more like the Bills will be

953
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: retaining their entire coaching staff for next season. Leslie Frasier

954
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: was a finalist, but the Texans have hired Baltimore Ravens

955
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: assistant David Culley to be their next head coach. Kelly

956
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: has spent the past two seasons in Baltimore as their

957
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach, completing his twenty

958
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: seventh season in the league. With Cully's hiring and exit

959
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: from Baltimore, the Ravens will now receive two third round

960
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: compensatory picks this year and next year for the hiring

961
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: of a minority coach. The hiring won't have any impact

962
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: on quarterback Deshaun Watson's future in Houston. However, Watson officially

963
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: has requested a trade from the Texans. He actually did

964
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: it weeks ago, according to reports, so their new head

965
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: coaching hire has not and will not alter Watson's thinking.

966
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: It's presumed the Seahawks have acted quickly after offensive tackle

967
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: Chad Wheeler was arrested on domestic violence and assault charges.

968
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: Seattle officially waved Wheeler Wednesday, really released a statement on

969
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: social media, apologizing and saying, quote, it is time for

970
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: me to walk away from football and get the help

971
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: I need end quote. Tight end Jason Witton trying retirement

972
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: out for a second time. He retired after the twenty

973
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,240
Speaker 1: seventeen season to take a job as a television analyst

974
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football, but returned to the Cowboys after

975
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: one season and moved on to the Raiders in twenty twenty.

976
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 1: He spent sixteen of his seventeen seasons with Dallas, and

977
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: we'll sign a one day contract with the Cowboys in

978
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: March so he can officially retire as a member of

979
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: the team. And the Sabers wrap up there set against

985
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: That is your sports update from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown,

986
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker ready to go for hour number two of

987
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: the program, and we are talking QB's people. What is

988
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: the most intriguing NFL quarterback storyline heading into the off season.

989
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: There are plenty to choose from, so we've left it

990
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: open to you at eight oh three oh five fifty

991
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 1: open line for you. There. Are you terrified that Deshaun

992
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: Watson ends up somewhere in the AFC East? Do you

993
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: think Jared Goff goes somewhere? And who do the Rams

994
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: get to replace him? Matthew Stafford we know is going

995
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: to be on the move. Dak Prescott doesn't have a contract.

996
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, is he staying? Is he going? Cam Newton

997
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: is a guy gonna have a job next year. I mean,

998
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: what's New Orleans doing? Drew Brees retiring? What's going on?

999
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: It's fun to talk about because you got all these

1000
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 1: uncertainties in it, and you'd think that these teams think

1001
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: about this. If they can't get a deal done for

1002
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott in Dallas, why what keeps Jerry Jones from saying, listen,

1003
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: we'll we'll do a deal with Dak and trade you

1004
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: Dak for Deshaun an interest state swap right out of conference,

1005
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: out of division. They both get to still play in

1006
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: Texas for whatever Dak Prescott might doesn't have it. No trade, Yeah,

1007
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: and Deshaun you think, don't think Deshaun would love to

1008
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: go play for the Star. I think he would, Yeah,

1009
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean that would He'd probably do that, and I

1010
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: we'll see Dallas much rather have that than him coming

1011
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: too the division. I know that. Yeah, right, No, And

1012
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: then you could almost make the point because of the

1013
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: money swap, it depends you got you gotta sign Dak

1014
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: to a deal. Maybe Dak balks at hease. I don't

1015
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: want to play for that. I don't have anybody throw too,

1016
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: and scot guys to throw to in Dallas. Yeah, I

1017
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:09,919
Speaker 1: mean man Alive, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallop and Ceedee Lamb.

1018
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean so yeah, I mean for Deshaun, it's like, yeah,

1019
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,919
Speaker 1: make that happen. But I think Dak throws a wrench

1020
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: in that. You'd have to you'd have to cough up

1021
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: another contract if you're Houston. True. Yeah, and you're still

1022
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: gonna be eating some money from parting with Watson. Yeah,

1023
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: it's uh. I know that. It's been reported that Watson's

1024
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: top two trade destinations are the Jets in Miami, and

1025
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: they have a ton of draft capital to offer, So

1026
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: the deal is conceivable with those two teams, which probably

1027
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: throws every Bills fan into a panic because this is

1028
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: the last guy you want to see in your division. Um.

1029
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: And if you don't have enough evidence of this guy,

1030
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: all you need to know is he became the first

1031
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: quarterback since nineteen ninety seven to lead the league in

1032
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: passing for a team with twelve losses or more. First

1033
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: guy he's thrown to a depleted receiving corps without you know, uh. Yeah,

1034
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: he had will Fuller Um as his you know, deep

1035
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: threat um, you know when he had some other guys

1036
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: there as well, Deshan not Sean. Yeah, they lost um

1037
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre DeAndre Hopkins, who's as good a receiver as there

1038
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: is in the NFL, and he got better statistically. But

1039
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: it's that deal in Houston. I don't know that there's

1040
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: a worse Yeah, he's I don't We said it earlier

1041
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: in the show. David Culley took that job because he

1042
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: said yes. In my opinion, I think all the other

1043
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: quality candidates distanced themselves during the interview process said I

1044
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: you're listening, I'm not gonna if I'm gonna one shot

1045
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: at this head coaching deal, like a lot of guys

1046
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: get I am not taking this job. With seventy five

1047
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: million dollars over the cap, a franchise player that wants out,

1048
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: and you've already gutted the roster with a four win season,

1049
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: No thank you. I'm gonna wait for, you know, an

1050
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: opportunity that looks better to me where I can actually

1051
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: have a chance right now. Granted, those opportunities don't come

1052
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: along very often where you got a team that's poised

1053
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: for it. But man, oh man, you they are the

1054
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: spot where it's as bad as it can get in

1055
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: the NFL this offseason. It's it's there. Don't look good

1056
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,919
Speaker 1: at all. Four wins, seventy five million dollars over the cap.

1057
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: You traded your best player last year that led to

1058
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: the four win season and your franchise quarters than an

1059
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: injury running exactly. And the only thing that you've got

1060
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: to lean on is that guy at the quarterback position,

1061
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: and he refuses to play for you no matter who

1062
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: you are. Oh gosh, def Con five, def Con five,

1063
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: whoop whoop. Yeah, Jacksonville is going to wipe the floor

1064
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: with those guys next year. The Carson Wentz thing in

1065
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is looked pretty ugly there in the early stages,

1066
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: and it's sounding like they're smoothing it over now. And

1067
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: I think it's due mainly to the fact that upper

1068
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: management came out and said Carson Wentz is still our future.

1069
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: There's there's backing in the front office and presumably ownership

1070
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: to continue forward with Wentz and and obviously trading him

1071
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: is cost prohibitive for them too, which probably almost forces

1072
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: their hand when you think about it. Yeah, I think

1073
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, coming from the Frank Reich tree, is probably

1074
01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: appealing to Carson Wentz. They had a they had a

1075
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: brief history together, right, I'd have to go back and look.

1076
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: But knowing that Sirianni subscribes to a lot of the

1077
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: same offensive principles as Frank, and knowing Frank had a

1078
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: really good relationship in Philly with him, I no, I

1079
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 1: think he was still in la with the Charger and

1080
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: then reconnoitered with Frank in Indy. But I think because

1081
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: he subscribes to a lot of the same offensive philosophies

1082
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: as Frank, I think his hiring is is inviting for Wentz,

1083
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 1: and I think that helps the relationship there. And you

1084
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: have to believe, see, now here's the difference, right, isn't

1085
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: this the difference between Houston and Philly. Now, granted, what

1086
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: happened to Wentz I don't think was all on Wentz

1087
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination. Their receiving corps got

1088
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: old and injured, they had nobody to throw to, their

1089
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: offensive line got old and injured, and suddenly they couldn't compete.

1090
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: And then it all fell on Wentz to make stuff happen,

1091
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: and he was trying too hard to make stuff happen,

1092
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,439
Speaker 1: and then he suffered from chuck nob block itis where

1093
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: he couldn't complete a pass because he was all in

1094
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: his head right, And so it just completely went off

1095
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: the rails. But at least as I see it from

1096
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, because I don't have any inside

1097
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: knowledge of what the Eagles are doing or thinking or planning.

1098
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: But from the outside looking in, it looks like management

1099
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: basically hit the reset button said all right, look, twenty

1100
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: twenty is twenty twenty. It was a disaster. Okay, let's

1101
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: clear the decks, let's figure out what our new plan is,

1102
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: and let's put it into action. Here, So a is

1103
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz worth saving? Yes, Okay, how do we do it?

1104
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 1: And you know, they put the plan together and I

1105
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: think they made Carson a part of the plan. Do

1106
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: you think that the Eagles hired Nick Sirianni without some

1107
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: seal of approval from Carson Wentz if he's your guy

1108
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: going forward? Because if he's your guy going forward, and

1109
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: clear it clearly seems that he is, you got to

1110
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: make him a part of your process when you're hiring

1111
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: the new head coach. Right, I think you do, yes.

1112
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. I'm sure Nick Sirianni called Frank

1113
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: Reich said Frank, what about this Philadelphia? What about Carson?

1114
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: Is he? And Frank said, listen here, if you're gonna

1115
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: handle Carson, here's how you got to do it. Abc D.

1116
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: Here's what we did when we won the Super Bowl.

1117
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Here's why he got where he was. Da da da da.

1118
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: And then Frank also called I think, called Frank and said, hey,

1119
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: what about Sirianni coaching material? And I'm sure Carson Wentz

1120
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: called Frank, so what about this guy? Here's what it is,

1121
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: and you're gonna like him and give him a chance.

1122
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: I think he could and all that's gonna make you better,

1123
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. So you bet that those conversations

1124
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: happened and that all went, you know, copathetically, and there's

1125
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni standing there. Now do you think the Texans

1126
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: did all that? I'm thinking no. Now, they may have tried,

1127
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: from what we've seen, they've tried to reach out to

1128
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: Watson here in the last couple of weeks to keep

1129
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: him updated on their head coaching search. But it does

1130
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: not sound like at any point in time Watson had

1131
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: any kind of say as to who would be interviewed,

1132
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: let alone who would be hired. It's it sounds like

1133
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: Watson had some conversations, personal conversations with the principles involved

1134
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: with the team, either either Estherby or Cal McNair, the owner, whatever,

1135
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: and he was given some assurances that he would be

1136
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: would have a voice and say hey what about this,

1137
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: or at least be informed, right, say hey what about

1138
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: this guy? Would have this guy to this? And that

1139
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: didn't happen, and he felt lied to and that's it.

1140
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: Forget it and we're done. We're done. Yeah, So it's

1141
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: it's it's beyond repair and and he's not interested in

1142
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: having it repaired. So um, it's all good and good

1143
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: and god. So you got Jacksonville with Urban Meyer, the

1144
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Jets with Robert Sala, Atlanta with Arthur Smith, the Charges

1145
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: with Brandon Staley, I can't believe, all right, destroyed with

1146
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, that still blows your mind. And Nick Sirianni

1147
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers are gonna be chargers. Let me just say that. Yeah,

1148
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: and and by that you mean middle of the road.

1149
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Just I think if you get the if you're getting

1150
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: the top candidate of a year in this hiring cycle,

1151
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: you're given a guy what he wants, because I think

1152
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: the top candidates have some things they want or they

1153
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: know it's going to be an unsuccessful attempt at a

1154
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: head coaching job. And at this level, I don't think

1155
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: there's too many guys you want as your head coach.

1156
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna just be doing it for the money because

1157
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: they know they're going to be unsuccessful. They just want

1158
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: the contract, it's gonna go in. They're pirate, they're done. No,

1159
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: these guys want to be successful because that's where the

1160
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: real success comes from. So they're not doing it just

1161
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: for the money. They're doing it because they want to

1162
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: be successful when they know they can. So they're getting

1163
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: some assurances from some of these ownership groups and the

1164
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: general managers about here's how it's gonna go down, and

1165
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: here's what you can count on from us. And when

1166
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: they get those, let's say, okay, yeah. And I don't

1167
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: think guys like Eric b Enemy, Leslie Frazier, you go

1168
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: down the list, are getting those. And I think the

1169
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: guy like the like Robert Sala, I think he probably

1170
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: got some assurances from the way it's gone for the

1171
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: Jets over the last couple of years. And I think

1172
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: some of these and these candidates have every right to

1173
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: do that. I don't know what Brandon Staley even asked

1174
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: for an office in the building. He's thirty seven, thirty seven.

1175
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: You know that every franchise is vastly they're all similar,

1176
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 1: but they're all vastly different, and they're also different and

1177
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: only subtle ways that make vast differences in how this

1178
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: thing turns out. Sean McDermott takes this job, and you

1179
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: heard in some of his subsequent interviews some of the

1180
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: things people were telling He's like, and they're gonna win there.

1181
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: You're like, God, you can't do it. It's a division.

1182
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: And all he asked for was the support from his

1183
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: ownership grand and they gave it to him. And they

1184
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: still do. I mean, they are they right check and

1185
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: then double down by hiring Brandon being they put their

1186
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: they put their money where their word was and been

1187
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: nothing and he's been nothing but honest. And man, it's

1188
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: and you're getting You're the AFC Championship game and you've

1189
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: been in the playoffs three out of four years, not

1190
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: one out of four years, three out of four years,

1191
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: you're in the tournament. Give picked the right guy and

1192
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 1: give him what he wants. I've said I talked to

1193
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: Dan Ruiney, God rest his soul that he was like,

1194
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's at ninety when I talk. I

1195
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: don't know what he was. He was an old guy

1196
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: when I spoke to him, and he was like, you know,

1197
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: he's just the sweetest and I mean revered and I

1198
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: don't even play for the guy. And I had like

1199
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: ten conversations my whole life with him, loved him. I said, Dan,

1200
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: how did you how do you pick three coaches past

1201
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:29,799
Speaker 1: fifty Bill Kauer, Chuck ol Bill Kauer with Mike Tomlin

1202
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: who who came out of nowhere? How do you pick

1203
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 1: your second? And He's like the he goes he couldn't

1204
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: even hunt, he couldn't even shrug his shoulders. That's how

1205
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 1: old he was. He's like Steve, he goes he pick really,

1206
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 1: he picked the smartest guy you can find, and then

1207
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: you support him until he figures it out. You don't

1208
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: have to figure any out. Let him figure it out.

1209
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: You picked the smartest guy you can find, and you

1210
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: support him till he figures it out. Three coaches in

1211
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: sixty years or whatever it's been. Yeah, it's about sixty. Yeah,

1212
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: it's closing in and ain't rocket science. Yeah, sometimes seems

1213
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: that way. Let's get back to the tweet sheet, as

1214
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: we've been asking you most intriguing NFL quarterback storyline this offseason.

1215
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: Jack A says, what happens at QB in New England?

1216
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: The Jets in Miami expect the Fish to keep to it,

1217
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: But could they jump at Watson? Could he end up

1218
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: a Jet? Do the Jets draft fields? Who will the

1219
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:34,759
Speaker 1: Hoodie have at quarterback? To torment us so much projected movement,

1220
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,679
Speaker 1: I'd really like the rest of the AFC East to wonder,

1221
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: to wander in quarterback purgatory for a while. Yeah, I'm

1222
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 1: with you, Jack in a big way. I don't want

1223
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: these other teams to figure it out. Because it took

1224
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: us a long time to do that. That's so. And

1225
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 1: you know what name one year during the drought, where

1226
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 1: you got Philip Rivers available, Cam Newton available, you got

1227
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: ten Bridgewater available. Yeah, you got all these you know, Yeah,

1228
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 1: that didn't exist during the drought. None of the no

1229
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton available. And I'm not saying these guys are

1230
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: world beaters or at the height of their power. They're

1231
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 1: better options than the ones that the Bills had at

1232
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: their disposal during that whole seventeen year stretch. Should we

1233
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: go down the list of quarterbacks the building, you know,

1234
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, no, I don't need to do that, right,

1235
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 1: none of this had happened during that And really during

1236
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: the drought, you know, Drew Bledsoe is probably he could

1237
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 1: play the best quarterback. Yeah he had, and he had

1238
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: the all time great season, most passing yards in Bill's history.

1239
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean until it's done, yeah, until this year. Yeah,

1240
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 1: he got it done. I mean that was that was

1241
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 1: a great move with no offensive line. Really when you

1242
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: think about it, the statuesque quarterback and no offensive line. Yeah,

1243
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: so all that it just didn't happen back then. Now,

1244
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you got all these you know, these teams

1245
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: that are like shuffling deck. The Jets have kind of

1246
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: been in that same quarterback purgatory too. I mean they

1247
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: had Chad Pennington sky limited physically, you know, didn't have

1248
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 1: the didn't have the arm, but was sharp as attack.

1249
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: If Chad Pennington had an arm, oh, he'd be a

1250
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, he if he had an arm that

1251
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: guy had. That guy was a good quarterback. I liked

1252
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: Chad a lot. I thought he could really play, and

1253
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 1: he never you know, he because of his shoulder and

1254
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 1: he his arm was maybe maybe the worst I've seen

1255
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,560
Speaker 1: in a quarterback. Oh what did he have? Like the

1256
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: four rotator cuff surgeries. I mean it was he had

1257
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: to throw that amazing. He played as long as he did.

1258
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: Everything had to be on three step. Even the deep

1259
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: ball had to be on a three step drip because

1260
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 1: he had to let go that early because it took

1261
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: that loan to get there. Even his out routes had

1262
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: arc on him. I mean it was but you know

1263
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: what that guy between his ears, yeah, he was all

1264
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: there man. Yeah, but we got all these guys largely

1265
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 1: been in quarterback purgatory. You know, since Marino retired, Well

1266
01:11:56,280 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna Yeah, but you're talking about if you're you can't.

1267
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking like people like Cleo Lemon, right,

1268
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: I mean you know what I'm saying, like, Yeah, I

1269
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: mean we had eight feedlers, we had Nate Peterman. Well, yeah, EJ.

1270
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: That was short lived, though I still think with better coaching,

1271
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: EJ could have been serviceable, not great, serviceable. Um, you

1272
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: know the guy that threw it into the hospitality tent

1273
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 1: and then you got who's the other guy? Cobb? Cob

1274
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: never played right because that's how bad it was. Couldn't

1275
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:37,719
Speaker 1: run from one field to the other on a rubber

1276
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Matt bro And it's not just us, it's not just us.

1277
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: Looking at Cleveland, they would do the same thing. It's

1278
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: like they've got more than a longer. It's like a

1279
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: fairy tale with Cleveland had number one picks of the

1280
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 1: draft as long as Rapunzel's hair. You couldn't you Now

1281
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 1: every season we got like six guys that are like, wow,

1282
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,679
Speaker 1: I wish we had that guy. Yeah, you know Matt

1283
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 1: Stafford is out there, Matt Stafford, Yeah, former number one pick,

1284
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: and he think about this, can you really play Cam Newton?

1285
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff all number one picks in the draft.

1286
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: Sam Darneld the third pick in the draft. Okay, who

1287
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 1: else do we have? Dak Prescott didn't have a contract.

1288
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 1: Watson was the Watson was the twelfth pick in the

1289
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: draft because he got picked two picks after he got

1290
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: picked two picks after Mahomes. Jared Goff, Ben Roethlisberger was

1291
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: the eleventh pick in the draft. Carson Wentz what was

1292
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: he second second pick in the draft. They're all guys

1293
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 1: are all out there, holy crap, and you know for years, Yeah,

1294
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Orton, Kyle, Kyle Horton had a good year. Yeah right,

1295
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 1: he was, Yeah, he had a good year. And then

1296
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 1: good year is that I'm done again? And who's right before?

1297
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: Who's uh, you know Rob Johnson. Rob was gifted on

1298
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 1: and you know he had no pulse. Uh yeah, that

1299
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: was another piece sized Oh my gosh. And now here

1300
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 1: we sit, we're talking about all these guys that and

1301
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: it's almost not fair. And he said he doesn't look

1302
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 1: at it. And then here we sit, you got New

1303
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: England with all the baggage that we've got from them,

1304
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 1: and Belichick up there, they're gonna have fifty million dollars

1305
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: to spend. They're gonna get somebody. The Jets and the

1306
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins are better than anybody. The entire division. The

1307
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:41,719
Speaker 1: entire division just strapped on a V eight engine, except

1308
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they're trying to catch us,

1309
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:45,719
Speaker 1: and they all got a brand new V eight engine.

1310
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: Doesn't it just gall yet? It took us this long

1311
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 1: to get good, and now everybody's gonna get unfairly an

1312
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 1: unfair advantage to measure up because the two things COVID,

1313
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 1: a restrictive cap because of COVID, and a quarterback derby

1314
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 1: that this league has never seen before. Yes, it's like

1315
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit. Yeah, and there's a there's a ton

1316
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: of Adam and Eves out there ready to pick it.

1317
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Take a bite of this app Yeah, all right, we

1318
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 1: have to take a break. We'll get more from the

1319
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: tweet sheet and Steve, something we haven't done in a while.

1320
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: Might be time for some lunch. What's for lunch? We

1321
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: might have to do a little of that today. Coming

1322
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: up next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Healthy,

1323
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:48,639
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1324
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: Second half of the show under way. Steve is back

1325
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: from the control room, but he's decided to remain incognito.

1326
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Take mask off anytime we step out of here. With

1327
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: the Plexi glass not separating it, I started wearing my mask.

1328
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 1: People can see this on TV. We got the Plexi

1329
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 1: glass between us. I started wearing my my mask on

1330
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 1: my wrist when we're on the air, you know, because invariably,

1331
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: you know, when we're off the air, we put our

1332
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: masks on, walk out in the control room, we go

1333
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 1: to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever, talk

1334
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: to those guys, and we come back in and we

1335
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: take them out. And every time I would get up

1336
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: and walk out and I'd have to come back glass

1337
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: the first six months of COVID. So now I'm putting

1338
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: my mask on my wrist so when I get over

1339
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: there and finally remember it, I can just take it

1340
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: off and put it on. Well, there you go, so

1341
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: you don't have to retrace your steps. Now, look at you.

1342
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 1: We're only we're only ten months in and you've figured something,

1343
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: come up with a shortcut. That's good. Good on you.

1344
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 1: Get back to the tweet sheet, which is brought to

1345
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems and most intriguing NFL quarterback

1346
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: storyline this off season and from and Tiffany says, hands

1347
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: down to Shaun Watson, especially if he ends up in

1348
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 1: the AFC East, hopefully not. The Texans allowed a subpar

1349
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 1: coach and Bill O'Brien to destroy a promising franchise in

1350
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 1: less than one season. Honestly, it gives me a greater

1351
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 1: appreciation for our solid foundation that we have here with

1352
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 1: the Bills. Good point. Yeah, and there's nothing that says

1353
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: the dysfunction has stopped in Houston either. Yeah, it says

1354
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: something when a guy like Deshaun Watson who just signed

1355
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: a deal and was so close to you know, you know,

1356
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: having aim. They had a great season last year, they

1357
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: were deep in the playoffs and then it just fell

1358
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: off a cliff and when and he wants out. I

1359
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: mean that says a lot about how quickly things can

1360
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: turn over. I think it's interesting too. I wonder if

1361
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 1: we has there been a four win team to go

1362
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: the other direction. I guess so I've seen it before.

1363
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 1: It can turn around both directions. Yeah, there's one team

1364
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: that the Indianapolis Colts were three and thirteen and Peyton

1365
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,600
Speaker 1: Manning's rookie season thirteen and three. The next year that

1366
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 1: kind of thing, the Bills were six and ten and

1367
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: ten and six. Let me let me throw this by it.

1368
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm curious what you think of this. Do you think,

1369
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: because we've seen this in the NBA probably more than

1370
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: anywhere else, the power that players have to kind of

1371
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 1: choose their team, pick their spot. Yeah, I believe that

1372
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the decision he made and the success

1373
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: that he's having is going to prompt more quarterbacks to

1374
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: choose this course of action going forward if they feel

1375
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: they're not in a spot where they believe they can win.

1376
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 1: Do you think do you think Brady only prompts this

1377
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:52,520
Speaker 1: to occur even more in subsequent offseasons. Maybe his profiles

1378
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: One thing. You can't deny the success he's had in

1379
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 1: his with his second team. And think about all the

1380
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: choices he had out there last year at this time,

1381
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 1: right he could have must take the letter. Every guy's different,

1382
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, Brady was different. He certainly put in his

1383
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 1: years with the Patriots, I mean, good grief, but he

1384
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,640
Speaker 1: also knew that things weren't gonna go well, and he

1385
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: was tired of taking the brunt of the blame and

1386
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: the brunt of the burden and you know, not getting

1387
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: credit for it, or at least the returns he thought

1388
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 1: he deserved. The guy carried that team deep every year

1389
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: he was there, and he couldn't get any help. So

1390
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: he didn't like the feedback he was getting, so he left. Now,

1391
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's gonna happen as often, but I'm

1392
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: saying when it does happen, when franchises du drop the

1393
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: ball on a number of different fronts, When they let

1394
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 1: a head coach trade away their best offensive player other

1395
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: than the quarterback, when they trade trade four, trade a

1396
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 1: couple of first rounders for a left tackle who's not

1397
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: under contract and let him play for a year, and

1398
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: then you're then you're held over brow. You can ask

1399
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: for whatever he wants. They got us. It cost him

1400
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,759
Speaker 1: two first round draft picks for a one year left tackle.

1401
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: That's all they got out of it. And then they

1402
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: had to sign him to a new deal at his

1403
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, so a couple of bonehead mistakes. So I

1404
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: don't think that happens as much as you know, it

1405
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: doesn't happen all that much. Franchises don't take a sharp

1406
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: downturn that quickly that a player says all, I'm done.

1407
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm done. You're much more likely to see it like

1408
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: a player like Ben Roethlisberger, who kind of hangs in

1409
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: there says I can be the reason we're good. That

1410
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: Stafford eleven years and probably about a half a dozen

1411
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: coaches before he said, yeah, you know what, I'm out right,

1412
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm not doing this again. That's right. And yeah, and

1413
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 1: he's getting it's getting the point for him where he's

1414
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 1: gonna listen, I don't. I don't want to do that.

1415
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 1: I want to see what it's like someplace else where.

1416
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: They like to know what it's like to win, right,

1417
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: And you can see a guy like Stafford doing that.

1418
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,560
Speaker 1: That was a ten year career he had, so you

1419
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 1: know it's not gonna Deshaun Watson's like, what is this

1420
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:57,719
Speaker 1: fifth year he was? No, he was in Mahome's draft,

1421
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: fourth year, fourth year, he's two picks after Mahomes, right,

1422
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, and he was the year before Josh Allen.

1423
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff is, um, I don't think

1424
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: it'll happen as much, but I do now now that

1425
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 1: guys have a blueprint and kind of looking at what

1426
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 1: Deshaun's doing and all that. Uh, and also there are people,

1427
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, making overtures, like like Aaron Rodgers is going

1428
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:22,560
Speaker 1: to demand a new contract because he was MVP and

1429
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: they only got to the championship game. You know that?

1430
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 1: Come on, that to me is a little bit of

1431
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 1: crazy talk. No, yeah, you may ask for a raise.

1432
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 1: I mean he may why he's the mv freaking P Well,

1433
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, I'm sure there are incentives

1434
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 1: in his contract though, Like, no, I don't know. No,

1435
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so. They don't

1436
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 1: do that anymore because if you win the MVP, then

1437
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:51,679
Speaker 1: it becomes goes into the cap next year. They don't

1438
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: do that anymore. So if he wins the MVP and

1439
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 1: had like a ten million dollar bonus for the MVP,

1440
01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:00,680
Speaker 1: then that incentive, the number of that incentive, if it's

1441
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:03,640
Speaker 1: ten million bucks, that gets added onto his salary and

1442
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: his cap number the next year as a as a

1443
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 1: an incentive that is likely to be earned, right, So

1444
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 1: that wouldn't They don't do that anymore. And I get it.

1445
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: He's making twenty twenty two million dollars a year because

1446
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: he's in the last year of like a five year

1447
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 1: extension that he had signed four or five years ago.

1448
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 1: I think he gets one more year in under this deal,

1449
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 1: then he signs a new contract. Okay, two years old

1450
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 1: left on a deal is a little bit too many.

1451
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: I think I want to do some lunch, Steve. We

1452
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: haven't done this in a while. What's for lunch? As

1453
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: we describe, we kind of give you a list of

1454
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: menu items and you pick yes, no, this, that, whatever,

1455
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: what have you? So, what's for lunch? Steve? Number one

1456
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 1: Jason Witten, who we know just retired for the second

1457
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 1: time as a player, should or should not pursue another

1458
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: shot at broadcasting. It didn't go well last time. It

1459
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:58,600
Speaker 1: did not, and he walked right into horribly wrong. He

1460
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: walked right into the Monday night gig. Yeah that was

1461
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 1: so if that was an example of it looked too

1462
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: big for him, Yeah, he was not. He wasn't a broadcaster. Yeah,

1463
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 1: So I would say unless he gets a what can

1464
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: walk into a deal like that, Yeah, then you got

1465
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: to do it. Take the money, take the money. Yeah.

1466
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would say, there's there's not gonna be

1467
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 1: very many people standing in line to give him that

1468
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: kind of deal again. So if he wants to pursue it,

1469
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to start from the bottom or a

1470
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: little bit closer to the bottom than he did the

1471
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: first time. Yeah, I'm gonna go with no. Uh. What's

1472
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: for lunch number two? Steve more important weapon to defend

1473
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey or Tyreek Hill. I don't know if there's

1474
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: a good answer for this one. Yeah, it's like you're splitting.

1475
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:47,640
Speaker 1: It might be too soon. Yeah, I say Tyreek just

1476
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 1: because of his ability to go to distance ninety nine yards.

1477
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: Travis Kelson going out run you ninety nine yards. He

1478
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 1: can make big plays, and he's great in the red

1479
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 1: zone and all that. But Tyreek, you get the ball

1480
01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 1: in his hands with a little bit of space and

1481
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 1: you're done. You're cooked. You're cooked. So I would say

1482
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: Tyreek because of the big play a bit. I'd be

1483
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 1: kind of in the same boat on that because you know,

1484
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: a two yard opening could mean a touchdown. M Yeah,

1485
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: he's that He's dangerous. He's that dangerous. Yeah. Uh, what's

1486
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:23,160
Speaker 1: for lunch? Number three? Bigger defensive offseason need for the

1487
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 1: Bills pass rusher or cornerback. So we're only talking about

1488
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: defensive needs here, pass rusher or cornerback. If you're talking

1489
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 1: about the elite level of either of those, I'd say

1490
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: the pass rusher. If you're saying just an okay guy,

1491
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 1: I'd say corner. Yeah, you know what I mean. If

1492
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: you can get an elite guy, I'd rather have the

1493
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:46,679
Speaker 1: pass rusher. Yeah, And I think it just another middle

1494
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: of the road guy. I think he need well pass rusher.

1495
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 1: I think I needed corner about one. Think about what

1496
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean just said yesterday about Dane Jackson. He thinks

1497
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:58,759
Speaker 1: that he could compete for a starting job opposite Trdavious

1498
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: White next year. That guy was a say round pick. Yeah,

1499
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: so I'm kind of in the same boat as you.

1500
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 1: I know you're not as high on Jackson as I am.

1501
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean that's not I'm not down on him. I

1502
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm just saying that's what the general

1503
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 1: manager would say about every player on his roster. He's

1504
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 1: gonna comit and compete for a starting job next year. Yeah,

1505
01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 1: so I think he can't. I don't think that's an

1506
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 1: insight as to how well they like him. I do

1507
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 1: think they like him. He got on the field a

1508
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: little bit this year, so that's good. We'll see um.

1509
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 1: But yes, I would I would go pass rusher two

1510
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 1: quarterback and pass rusher, I still maintain or two of

1511
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: the most. I think pass rusher is not that far

1512
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 1: removed from quarterback. I think we can make arguments for others.

1513
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:38,640
Speaker 1: I think corners more important, right do you, Yeah, just

1514
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 1: because people are throwing it around so much. Yes, particularly, Yeah,

1515
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 1: I think it's much more important now because it's harder

1516
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 1: for the pass rusher to get home even these quick

1517
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: release pass games. Is that part of it too? Yeah,

1518
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 1: and if the quarterback drops, but even Tom Brady and

1519
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers can slide in the pocket

1520
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,600
Speaker 1: and to get the effectiveness of the pass rusher, but

1521
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 1: you still got to have somebody back in the back

1522
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 1: end covering him up. Those guys don't. Those guys don't

1523
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,720
Speaker 1: get a break when the quarterback takes off running. So

1524
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 1: m yeah, I think the corner. I think corners are

1525
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 1: more important these days than than pass rush. So yeah,

1526
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: it's just me. I'd have six of them on my roster.

1527
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 1: I don't think you can ever have enough of those guys. Yeah,

1528
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:19,760
Speaker 1: all right, that's what's for lunch, break time for us

1529
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 1: when we come back, more of your comments from the

1536
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 1: for that. Here on One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health,

1537
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

1538
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,680
Speaker 1: closing up our number two of the program here on

1539
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 1: a Thursday edition of One Bills Live. Asking what's the

1540
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 1: most intriguing NFL quarterback storyline heading into the off season.

1541
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: Some say it's about the improvements Josh Allen can make.

1542
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 1: Others are saying whether there'll be a contract extension for

1543
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,839
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and some people are worried about DeShawn Watson

1544
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: ending up in the AFC East. We go back to

1545
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,960
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet and we're up to JW. Socks, who

1546
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:25,800
Speaker 1: says everyone will say Watson going to the AFC East.

1547
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,800
Speaker 1: I think it could be Dak Prescott. He turned down

1548
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: a thirty three million dollar contract. Now he has to

1549
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 1: work his way back from injury. I didn't think he

1550
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 1: was that good in the first place. I'll respectfully disagree there,

1551
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: JW socks. That guy can play. He's also a leader

1552
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 1: of men, so he's got it twofold at the most

1553
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 1: important position in football. He's got a pretty good roster

1554
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 1: around him too. Yeah, provided he stays in Dallas. I

1555
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: wonder how much his offseason rehab impacts the level at

1556
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 1: which Dallas vigorously pursues him to get him back under contract.

1557
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. You never know what Jerry's gonna do.

1558
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 1: It's always a sad thing to see a kid bet

1559
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 1: on himself, a guy bet on himself, and then you know,

1560
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 1: and that was an that was an ugly injury. Yeah,

1561
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: ugly ugly injury. Yeah, it's too bad. Broken ankle and

1562
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:25,439
Speaker 1: and I mean he's you know, he was a guy

1563
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,479
Speaker 1: that can move around by some time, extend plays. And

1564
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: you wonder how much that's going to be compromised when

1565
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,640
Speaker 1: he comes back. Now. Yeah, he's he really, he's a

1566
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: great players. He's um. The team loves him, the guys

1567
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:40,799
Speaker 1: love him. UM. But you know, he's it's a business

1568
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 1: and he he made a business decision that may come

1569
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 1: back to bite him. He turned down a thirty three

1570
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 1: million dollars a year contract and and uh and got

1571
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 1: hurt bad, lost his season and uh, oh gosh. So

1572
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I remembered that play at all.

1573
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 1: I had no idea what when it happened. It looked

1574
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:08,759
Speaker 1: innocuous and then he popped up in his foot's facing

1575
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: the wrong way, and it's it's rough. That's you know,

1576
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, and it's But as far as this the

1577
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 1: quarterback landscape, no, he's a guy that didn't have a

1578
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 1: season this year, as in a contract dispute with the

1579
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: team that's got And we've seen this before. Alex Smith

1580
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: did it, Kirk Cousins did it, a number of players

1581
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 1: have done it. I don't think anything hinges on what

1582
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:37,640
Speaker 1: Dallas is doing down and with their quarterback, because I

1583
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 1: don't think Dak Prescott gets out the door he's got it.

1584
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:44,839
Speaker 1: Does he have another year of the of the franchise

1585
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 1: tag available? This was the second year they franchised him,

1586
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 1: so he doesn't. They gotta get him twenty. They got

1587
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 1: to get him under. You could franchise him again, but

1588
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:53,720
Speaker 1: it be kind of stupid to do that because you

1589
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 1: gotta pay him one hundred and twenty percent of the

1590
01:29:56,439 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 1: highest paid or twenty of his one hundred twenty percent

1591
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,640
Speaker 1: of what he made last year, or the equivalent of

1592
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:07,719
Speaker 1: the top five guys in his position. So it's whichever

1593
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 1: is greater. He's going to be expensive to bring him back,

1594
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 1: and I think time and if it's and I don't

1595
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:15,200
Speaker 1: know what the extent of his injury is. If it's

1596
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 1: a broken leg, that's actually better than it would be

1597
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 1: if it was soft tissue. So yeah, I don't know what.

1598
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what you do with that guy, but

1599
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't it's a tough one. I don't think. Yeah,

1600
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 1: that's just an infact to me. That's there's no hint

1601
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:32,720
Speaker 1: that they're going to trade or get rid of that

1602
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:35,920
Speaker 1: guy or let him go. No, and I wouldn't anticipate that.

1603
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 1: Usually Jerry finds a way to get his best assets

1604
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 1: back in the fold. I mean, he did it with

1605
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 1: Zeke and that's kind of looking foolish now, as it

1606
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:49,800
Speaker 1: is typically with running backs, Yeah, but with quarterbacks that's

1607
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 1: a different animal. You find a way to make that

1608
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 1: work if at all possible, if there's a shred of hope,

1609
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:57,760
Speaker 1: you try to make it work. From JT on the

1610
01:30:57,800 --> 01:31:00,200
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. I think it's Josh Allen getting a long

1611
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:03,560
Speaker 1: term deal done here. And also who is going to

1612
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 1: be Josh's backup? Another interesting quarterback question New England. Do

1613
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:10,600
Speaker 1: they go back to Garoppolo, do they trade up and

1614
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 1: get a quarterback or do they swing for Watson because

1615
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 1: I know they don't like Cam. Let's take the first

1616
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:19,439
Speaker 1: part of that. Okay, Matt Barkley got to be an

1617
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent. The guy has been a fantastic support

1618
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 1: system for Josh Allen. I don't think there's any debate

1619
01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: about that. We even heard Brandon being talking in his

1620
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: season ending press conference about how even Barkley's wife is

1621
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 1: great at helping the wives connect off the field. Was

1622
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 1: instrumental this year and kind of building a communication network

1623
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:45,840
Speaker 1: there when they were all effectively quarantined to protect their

1624
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 1: husbands from getting you know, infected with anything because they're

1625
01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 1: out at the grocery store or god knows where else.

1626
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 1: But if the salary cap is as restrictive as it is,

1627
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:02,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can afford to bring Barkley

1628
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 1: back with all the other positional issues that you have

1629
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:12,719
Speaker 1: to depends. Would Barkley leave certainly he'd he'd go someplace

1630
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 1: if he had a chance to play. But if he

1631
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have a chance to play, why would he leave?

1632
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:22,799
Speaker 1: And there may well be a place where a situation

1633
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 1: where some team would chime and say, yeah, you can

1634
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:35,360
Speaker 1: come down here and compete, you know, like Carolina or whatever, Houston, right, yeah, yeah, right.

1635
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't know, it'll it'll be

1636
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: interesting to see how that plays out. Maybe Miami since

1637
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:42,360
Speaker 1: he lit him up in the second half. I don't

1638
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: think we can forget Jake From was a fifth round

1639
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: draft pick here and say, okay, a fifth round draft pick,

1640
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 1: But it's clear to me they like Jake From um

1641
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 1: I think as a as a long term backup in

1642
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:57,800
Speaker 1: the future, potentially to Josh Allen. I think they feel

1643
01:32:57,880 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 1: Jake From as a player who's wise beyond his ears,

1644
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 1: who does everything the right way all the time, and

1645
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: clearly physically cannot hold a candle to what Josh Allen

1646
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 1: can do. So that to me, spell's career backup if

1647
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 1: he stays here in Buffalo, and I wonder if they

1648
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,519
Speaker 1: see that as a job that Jake From can capably

1649
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 1: inherit Now, by no means am I saying he has

1650
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:21,720
Speaker 1: the same professional NFL football knowledge that Matt Barkley does.

1651
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's there's a wide swath between those two

1652
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 1: players just by virtue of Matt's experience. But money could

1653
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,280
Speaker 1: be the ultimate determiner there, But the salary cap, as

1654
01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 1: restrictive as it is, money always has something to say.

1655
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 1: All right, break time for us. But when we return,

1656
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 1: NFL writer from the Boston Globe, Ben Voland, maybe he's

1657
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 1: got an answer as to what the Patriots due at

1658
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:45,679
Speaker 1: quarterback this offseason. He's got his ear to the ground

1659
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 1: up there all the time. We'll see what he thinks

1660
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 1: about that and where he thinks Deshaun Watson is ending

1661
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:54,680
Speaker 1: up in twenty twenty one. Ben Voland coming up next

1662
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:56,800
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. It's

1663
01:33:56,800 --> 01:34:11,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio, Blow Bills Radio Network Sports or Sports

1664
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 1: Update from One Bill's Drive. It's looking more and more

1665
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 1: like the Bills will be retaining their entire coaching staff

1666
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:20,320
Speaker 1: for next season. Leslie Frasier was a finalist, but the

1667
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:23,200
Speaker 1: Texans have hired Baltimore Ravens assistant David Culley to be

1668
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:26,639
Speaker 1: there next head coach. Cully has spent the past two

1669
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:29,719
Speaker 1: seasons in Baltimore as their passing game coordinator and wide

1670
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 1: receivers coach. He's got twenty seven seasons in the league.

1671
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:37,640
Speaker 1: With Cully's hiring an exit from Baltimore, the Ravens now

1672
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:41,280
Speaker 1: received two third round compensatory picks this year and next

1673
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:45,519
Speaker 1: year for the hiring of a minority coach from their staff.

1674
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:49,760
Speaker 1: The hiring won't have any impact on quarterback DeShawn Watson's

1675
01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:53,599
Speaker 1: future in Houston. Watson officially requested a trade from the Texans.

1676
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 1: He actually did it weeks ago. According to some reports

1677
01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:59,679
Speaker 1: of their new head coaching hire has not and will

1678
01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:05,000
Speaker 1: not apparently alter Watson's thinking. The Seattle Seahawks acted quickly

1679
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:09,040
Speaker 1: after offensive tackle Chad Wheeler was arrested on domestic violence

1680
01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:13,120
Speaker 1: and assault charges. Seattle officially waved Wheeler Wednesday. Wheeler released

1681
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:16,519
Speaker 1: a statement on social media, apologizing and saying, quote, it

1682
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 1: is time for me to walk away from football and

1683
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:23,960
Speaker 1: get the help I need. Tight End Jason Witten trying

1684
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 1: retirement out for a second time. Witton retired after the

1685
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:30,040
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen season to take a job as a television

1686
01:35:30,040 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 1: analyst on Monday Night Football will returned to the Cowboys

1687
01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 1: after one season and moved on to the Raiders this

1688
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:39,760
Speaker 1: past season. Witton spent sixteen of his seventeen seasons with

1689
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Will sign a one day contract with Dallas

1690
01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 1: and March so he can officially retire as a Cowboy.

1691
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 1: Savers will wrap up. They're set against the New York

1692
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 1: Rangers tonight a Keybank Center, Buffalo, one three to two

1698
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 1: you for our number three of a Thursday edition of

1699
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:12,719
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. As we're broadcasting from the Seneca Studios

1700
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: here in Orchard Park on a Chili Day, Chili week actually,

1701
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:21,280
Speaker 1: as we're not getting above nineteen today, Steve, but we're

1702
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 1: pleased to be joined now by the NFL writer for

1703
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:26,240
Speaker 1: the Boston Globe, also as is here to the ground

1704
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:28,560
Speaker 1: on the New England Patriots all season long. It is

1705
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 1: one Ben voland joining us here for our number three

1706
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:33,760
Speaker 1: of the show Ben, thanks for taking the time. We

1707
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:36,559
Speaker 1: know that super Bowl prep will begin in Earnest all

1708
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:41,559
Speaker 1: too soon, so thanks for giving us some time here today. Yeah. Yeah,

1709
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:43,920
Speaker 1: you left a job description out of my title there.

1710
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:48,759
Speaker 1: I'm actually now a Buccaneers beat writer because yeah, stop

1711
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:50,840
Speaker 1: for the past ye and a half, you scared me

1712
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 1: for a second. So yeah, it's it's it's it's crazy.

1713
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 1: I mean it feels like a hometown super Bowl. I mean,

1714
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 1: the interest is through the roof. We're writing Tom Brady

1715
01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:04,040
Speaker 1: stories every day. The traffic on our website it's just

1716
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:07,120
Speaker 1: spiking right now, and most of New England is really

1717
01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 1: pumped for this, so it almost feels like yet another

1718
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:11,640
Speaker 1: Patriots super Bowl. Yeah, I was gonna ask you, like,

1719
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 1: what is the general consensus from Patriots fans. I guess

1720
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:18,880
Speaker 1: there's no love lost for Brady. If they have an issue,

1721
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,800
Speaker 1: it's it's with the Patriots more than it ever was

1722
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:26,720
Speaker 1: with Brady. Right for the most part, that's accurate. I mean,

1723
01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 1: there are some fans who say he left us and

1724
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:32,240
Speaker 1: if he's wearing a different jersey than I'm no longer

1725
01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 1: rooting for him. You see a few of those comments

1726
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:36,599
Speaker 1: on Twitter or on your story, But I would say

1727
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:41,519
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly the fans here are rooting for Brady, and I

1728
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 1: think the sentiment is clearly, you know that the Patriots

1729
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 1: kind of forced him out, and people are raising a

1730
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:52,519
Speaker 1: critical eyebrow towards the Patriots, like, why again, did we

1731
01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:54,000
Speaker 1: have to get rid of him. It's not like the

1732
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:57,320
Speaker 1: Patriots had some great backup plan. It's not like they

1733
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: had a Jimmy Garoppolo waiting in the wings. We saw

1734
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 1: it this year. They had to scrape the bargain bin

1735
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 1: at quarterback with Cam Newton and Jared Stidham and didn't

1736
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:08,040
Speaker 1: really work out. And it's like, well, why why is

1737
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 1: Brady not doing this year? Why couldn't we work this

1738
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:13,360
Speaker 1: thing out? So it seems a little silly in hindsight

1739
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:15,719
Speaker 1: that the Patriots couldn't find a way to keep Brady

1740
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:18,800
Speaker 1: happy and make him return and finish his career with

1741
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:21,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots, because clearly, as we're seeing, he's not done yet.

1742
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, for him to go into Tampa in a

1743
01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 1: season with no preseason, really no offseason workouts, Week one

1744
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 1: of the regular season is the first time he's really

1745
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: playing with these guys and to take that team and

1746
01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:35,080
Speaker 1: his first year here to all the way to the

1747
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is really mind blowing. Like I thought, I

1748
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, after they came back against the Falcons twenty

1749
01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:44,840
Speaker 1: eight to three in that Super Bowl, I said, I'd

1750
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:47,280
Speaker 1: never be blown away again or surprised by what Tom

1751
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 1: Brady can do. But he's he's finding new ways to

1752
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 1: do it now and what he's doing this year is

1753
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:54,360
Speaker 1: just incredible, and I think it's the most of all

1754
01:38:54,439 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 1: ten of his Super Bowl runs. I think this one,

1755
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:58,960
Speaker 1: when he factor in the new team, the three road

1756
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:02,280
Speaker 1: games taking down Breeze and Rogers, this by far as

1757
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 1: is most impressive, and it has been impressive and it's

1758
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 1: been unbelievable to watch and leaves us with the question,

1759
01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:13,719
Speaker 1: what is New England's plan going forward? Cam Newton ain't

1760
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 1: a part of it, and I don't think Jared Stidham

1761
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:22,759
Speaker 1: is either. No, No, I would agree with both those statements. Stidham.

1762
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,519
Speaker 1: Stidham might be just because he's cheap. He's under contract

1763
01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 1: for two more years, so maybe he's your backup. But

1764
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:30,479
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think Cam Newton is going to

1765
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 1: be the future here in New England or even the president.

1766
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna go get a veteran, kind

1767
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 1: of seat warmer, that type of quarterback. I'd much rather

1768
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 1: see them go get Ryan Fitzpatrick, who I think is

1769
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 1: a much better quarterback at this point than Can Newton,

1770
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:49,479
Speaker 1: so I would love to see I'd love to see

1771
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:52,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots recreate what the Dolphins had the last two years,

1772
01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:54,800
Speaker 1: which is how Ryan Fitzpatrick and then drafted kid and

1773
01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 1: develop him. I think that'd be pretty solid if the

1774
01:39:57,880 --> 01:40:01,759
Speaker 1: Patriots went that route. They're gonna be other options Jimmy Garoppolo.

1775
01:40:01,840 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 1: They are rumors that he might be out there, maybe

1776
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, maybe Carson Wentz, though I'm not expecting the

1777
01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:11,920
Speaker 1: Eagles to move on from him, but you know, they

1778
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,519
Speaker 1: could land Jimmy Garoppolo. I think that'd be a big win.

1779
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:17,680
Speaker 1: But they still need to address the position. Whether it's

1780
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 1: a first round pick or their second round pick. They've

1781
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:22,439
Speaker 1: got to draft someone, because that's the biggest issue I

1782
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:25,679
Speaker 1: have with the Patriots, not just that they traded away

1783
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and that they let Tom Brady walk, is

1784
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 1: that they didn't do anything to replace those guys. The

1785
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:33,799
Speaker 1: year after they traded Jimmy Garoppolo, they didn't draft a quarterback.

1786
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 1: The year after letting Brady walk, they didn't draft a quarterback.

1787
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:39,639
Speaker 1: The only guy they had in the system was Jared Stidham,

1788
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:42,400
Speaker 1: who is a fourth round pick. And fourth round picks

1789
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: other than Kirk Cousins and Dak Prescott, those guys usually

1790
01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:48,360
Speaker 1: don't work out is starting quarterbacks. So you know, it'd

1791
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,200
Speaker 1: be one thing if they tried and failed, But they

1792
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 1: just haven't tried at quarterback. So that's what they have

1793
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:53,640
Speaker 1: to do. They have to try, and they have to

1794
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 1: use a high pick. They have to go out in

1795
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 1: free agency find someone. They're gonna be options. But I

1796
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,960
Speaker 1: think that's what's most pointing about letting Brady go is

1797
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 1: that he's still playing very well and they didn't have

1798
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 1: that option just waiting in the wings behind him. In

1799
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 1: fairness that, I mean, the cupboard was kind of bear

1800
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 1: there too, and they had a salary cap bullet to

1801
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 1: finally bite a little bit also, right, I mean, they

1802
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 1: were limited, and but the draft was probably the best

1803
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:18,080
Speaker 1: way to go to get a cheap to get a

1804
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 1: quarterback on cheap labor and try to grow with as

1805
01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:26,600
Speaker 1: far as cam though Ben since you guys saw unfortunately

1806
01:41:26,680 --> 01:41:29,400
Speaker 1: every snap that he took this year, because it was ugly.

1807
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:33,320
Speaker 1: What the hell happened to him? Did all the did

1808
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 1: all the injuries just kind of the cumulative effect of

1809
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:39,559
Speaker 1: all of the shoulder surgeries and the foot problems come

1810
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:42,880
Speaker 1: home to roost Or was it between his ears? I

1811
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:45,320
Speaker 1: mean he's throwing bounce passes. I mean he looked more

1812
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:49,120
Speaker 1: like Bob Kozy than he did an NFL quarterback. Yeah,

1813
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 1: the passing attack was pretty nonfunctional by the end of

1814
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:55,360
Speaker 1: the season, and you know, to Kim's credit, he still

1815
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:58,680
Speaker 1: went seven and eight as a starter. So I think

1816
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 1: that's also to Bill Belichick's credit. You know, Belichick's been

1817
01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:03,439
Speaker 1: taking a ton of heat the last week since Brady

1818
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:05,879
Speaker 1: got back to the Super Bowl. But you know, Belichick

1819
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 1: had arguably the worst roster in the NFL and he

1820
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:10,280
Speaker 1: still coached seven wins out in it. So I think

1821
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:12,639
Speaker 1: that actually, as I mean, they got to make some moves,

1822
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 1: and Belichick, the gm is, you know, certainly under fire

1823
01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I think winning seven games with

1824
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,880
Speaker 1: that roster is actually a pretty decent accomplishment. And it

1825
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,720
Speaker 1: was a myriad of factors for Newton. You know, Tom

1826
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:28,000
Speaker 1: Brady makes it look easy, but you know, for Newton

1827
01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 1: to come to a new team, new playbook, you know,

1828
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 1: new system, new teammates, that without the benefit of an

1829
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 1: off season or much of a preseason, that that's that's

1830
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,439
Speaker 1: pretty tough. So I think, certainly, you know, that was

1831
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 1: a tough circumstance for him. And look at his weapons too.

1832
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,880
Speaker 1: If this or any other quarterback, we'd be making all

1833
01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 1: kinds of excuses about the weapons that he had. I mean,

1834
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,519
Speaker 1: the Patriots unquestionably had the worst group of receivers and

1835
01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:51,640
Speaker 1: tight ends in the NFL, so Kim didn't have a

1836
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:54,600
Speaker 1: whole lot to work with. That said, you know, he

1837
01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:57,600
Speaker 1: definitely struggled to pick up some of the offense. He

1838
01:42:57,680 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 1: didn't see the field that well. He would lock onto

1839
01:42:59,840 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 1: a primary who wouldn't see guys coming open on other

1840
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:05,360
Speaker 1: parts of the field. He would be late with his throws.

1841
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:08,800
Speaker 1: His accuracy was real scattershot. You know, he has a

1842
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:12,719
Speaker 1: well publicized shoulder injuries in the past. He just didn't

1843
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:16,439
Speaker 1: have the arm strength that pushed the ball down the field.

1844
01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 1: So there were myriad problems there. But like I said,

1845
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:21,120
Speaker 1: they still won seven games, so I think you have

1846
01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:23,280
Speaker 1: to give Cam some credit, and I think there's still

1847
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:25,720
Speaker 1: a spot for him in the league. I just don't

1848
01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:29,080
Speaker 1: think it's as a guaranteed starting quarterback. And if the

1849
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:32,640
Speaker 1: Patriots brought him back, I mean, I personally would be disappointed,

1850
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:35,680
Speaker 1: just because I think you are better options out there

1851
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:38,160
Speaker 1: with like Ryan Fitzpatrick. If you're gonna have this veteran

1852
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 1: guy who's keeping the seat warm, I'd rather go with FITZI,

1853
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:42,880
Speaker 1: who I think got kind of a raw deal in

1854
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:45,400
Speaker 1: Miami last year and should have been the starter instead

1855
01:43:45,439 --> 01:43:47,879
Speaker 1: of two us. So you know Cam, you know, Belichick

1856
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,000
Speaker 1: raved about him all year, and Cam was tough all

1857
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 1: year and never made excuses and he got our Media Award.

1858
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:56,720
Speaker 1: He was great to deal with all year. But at

1859
01:43:56,760 --> 01:44:00,400
Speaker 1: the end, just physically and mentally, you know, he just

1860
01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:02,559
Speaker 1: wasn't able to get a job. One as we look

1861
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 1: around at this last hiring cycle about head coaches at

1862
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:14,280
Speaker 1: Houston Texans just hiring David Culley and then the Chargers

1863
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:18,240
Speaker 1: hiring Brandon Staley, and then the Houston Texans also interviewing

1864
01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: Josh McCown, are there some of these do you feel

1865
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 1: we had this conversation order in the show. Do you

1866
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:28,200
Speaker 1: feel there's some of these opportunities, like the Chargers and

1867
01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:30,800
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans in particular, or maybe and maybe one

1868
01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:33,320
Speaker 1: of the others or whatever that there are some candidates

1869
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 1: who kind of talk themselves out of taking those jobs.

1870
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly the club doesn't want to offer it

1871
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: to a guy who's not gonna take it. But during

1872
01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 1: the interview process, guys like Eric b Enemy and Leslie

1873
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 1: Frasier here in Buffalo and perhaps some of the other

1874
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:49,200
Speaker 1: quality candidates are just something, you know what, unless I

1875
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:53,200
Speaker 1: get some assurances, this isn't gonna work out, and they

1876
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 1: just decide to hand it to somebody else. Certainly, the

1877
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 1: Texans job, I think coaches that had options weren't too

1878
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:06,559
Speaker 1: keen on that job. And look, I think anyone would

1879
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 1: jump at the chance to coach to Shaun Watson. But

1880
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:12,120
Speaker 1: there's just been a lot of dysfunction in Houston there

1881
01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:15,280
Speaker 1: the last few years between the owner Kal McNair, who's

1882
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:18,040
Speaker 1: a new owner inherited the team from his father, is

1883
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 1: still kind of finding his way what it means to

1884
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 1: be an owner. They have a system there, Jack easter Be.

1885
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 1: No one's quite sure how much power he really wields there.

1886
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:31,559
Speaker 1: He's not a football guy, but he's the loan survivor there.

1887
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:34,759
Speaker 1: And there's just been a lot of dysfunction in Houston

1888
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:37,880
Speaker 1: the last few years. The biggest mistake they made was

1889
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,840
Speaker 1: giving Bill O'Brien all that power GM and head coach

1890
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:42,599
Speaker 1: and then pulling the rug out from under him after

1891
01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:44,720
Speaker 1: a year. If you're gonna let the guy make all

1892
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:46,760
Speaker 1: these big trades and big moves, he got to let

1893
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:49,760
Speaker 1: him see it through a little bit. So I don't know.

1894
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't know about the Charter's job. That seemed like

1895
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:53,720
Speaker 1: a pretty stable job, and they could have had their

1896
01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:56,920
Speaker 1: choice of coaches because justin Herbert's phenomenal and I think

1897
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:00,479
Speaker 1: they would have had coaches lining up to chimp. So

1898
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:03,120
Speaker 1: to me, that one's interesting that they went kind of

1899
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 1: more unproven with Brandon Staley. The new offensive coordinator. Joe

1900
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:09,519
Speaker 1: Lombardi from the Saints has never been that route, So

1901
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:12,599
Speaker 1: the Chargers are kind of going in the young, unproven route.

1902
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's because of dysfunction. But certainly Houston,

1903
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, some of the top candidates

1904
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:22,320
Speaker 1: we're looking at that job just because all the peripheral stuff,

1905
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:25,439
Speaker 1: like they have some good players there, but just all

1906
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:27,760
Speaker 1: the dysfunction there, and I mean we're obviously seeing it

1907
01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:30,760
Speaker 1: now with the Shawn Watson. That's just there's a lot

1908
01:46:30,840 --> 01:46:32,880
Speaker 1: of noise coming out of Houston right now. Do you

1909
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:37,000
Speaker 1: think the possibility exists that Watson could end up in

1910
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:39,560
Speaker 1: the AFC East, knowing the draft capital that teams like

1911
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 1: Miami and the Jets have to offer. I mean, no question.

1912
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 1: If you're looking at the two teams that I think

1913
01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:47,400
Speaker 1: should be the favorites to get Watson, those are eight.

1914
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:51,000
Speaker 1: There are three teams in this year's draft that have

1915
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:54,720
Speaker 1: multiple first round picks, the Dolphins, the Jets, and the Jaguars.

1916
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:57,040
Speaker 1: And the Jags are in the Texans division, so I

1917
01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:00,840
Speaker 1: can't imagine the Texans will be a trade Watson to

1918
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:04,000
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, especially. I think the Jaguars would rather keep

1919
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:06,679
Speaker 1: all their picks and just draft Trevor Lawrence. But the Dolphins,

1920
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:09,040
Speaker 1: the Jets are at two and the Dolphins are at three,

1921
01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:11,960
Speaker 1: And to me, it's really the Dolphins. I mean that's

1922
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:13,840
Speaker 1: a team that is ready to win now. I think

1923
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,599
Speaker 1: they had a great roster last year. The one thing

1924
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:18,720
Speaker 1: that was kind of holding them back was their quarterback play.

1925
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:21,080
Speaker 1: And you add Watson to the mix, I think that's

1926
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 1: a very dangerous team. The Dolphins. They have all these

1927
01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:27,040
Speaker 1: extra picks from their trade with the Texans with Larry

1928
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:29,600
Speaker 1: me Tunsel. The Dolphins have the number three pick and

1929
01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:33,439
Speaker 1: eighteen and thirty six in the second round and fifty

1930
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:35,439
Speaker 1: in the second round, and then I mean they just

1931
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:38,559
Speaker 1: are loaded with picks and cap space, so they could

1932
01:47:38,600 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 1: take on Watson. I do think they're a quarterback away

1933
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 1: from being a super Bowl contender. I think Watson would

1934
01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:47,759
Speaker 1: love to play for a young coach like Brian Flores,

1935
01:47:47,760 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 1: who players all seem to love, and he's built a

1936
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:52,960
Speaker 1: great culture down there. And the Dolphins are a team

1937
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 1: also that I don't think they need all these draft picks.

1938
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:56,559
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think they're ready to win now,

1939
01:47:56,680 --> 01:47:58,479
Speaker 1: and I don't think they need to be adding five

1940
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 1: rookies in the top fifty. Use those picks and go

1941
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:04,000
Speaker 1: get a franchise quarterback. I'm not a believer in Tuah,

1942
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not ready to totally write him off,

1943
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:07,680
Speaker 1: but I do not think that he had a great

1944
01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 1: rookie season, and I think the Dolphins are maybe having

1945
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:12,920
Speaker 1: second thoughts about him, so they have a chance to

1946
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:17,080
Speaker 1: go get Shawn Watson. I think absolutely the Dolphins should

1947
01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 1: go and make that make that jump one last thing

1948
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:22,840
Speaker 1: before we let you go, what are your thoughts about

1949
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:26,679
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? At first? Blush Chiefs Tampa Bay, Pat

1950
01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:28,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes against Tom Brady. How do you see this game

1951
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 1: playing out? And I know it's way way early before

1952
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 1: the frenzy starts. What are your thoughts? Well, nothing's gonna

1953
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:36,680
Speaker 1: change between now and then, so we might as well

1954
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:39,680
Speaker 1: get into our predictions. One thing I do know is

1955
01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 1: this game is going to deliver. When you have Tom

1956
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:45,720
Speaker 1: Brady and Pat Mahomes as your quarterbacks. I mean, these

1957
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:48,200
Speaker 1: guys always show off to play in the big games,

1958
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:51,040
Speaker 1: and so you're not gonna get a twelve to nine game.

1959
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a scoring fast Both offenses are

1960
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:57,519
Speaker 1: gonna come to play. It's gonna be a really fun matchup.

1961
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,240
Speaker 1: All four of the Brady Mahomes matchups have been tight,

1962
01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:03,599
Speaker 1: close games, and so this is gonna be a fantastic

1963
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:05,719
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. We couldn't have asked for a better matchup,

1964
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:10,880
Speaker 1: my head, says the Chiefs. There's sixteen and one in

1965
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:13,599
Speaker 1: games started by Patrick Mahomes this year. That's pretty hard

1966
01:49:13,640 --> 01:49:16,840
Speaker 1: to ignore. It's like everyone knows that the ball is

1967
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:20,439
Speaker 1: going to Tyree Hill and to Travis Kelsey but they're

1968
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:23,800
Speaker 1: still unstoppable. Patrick Mahomes has a bad toe, it doesn't

1969
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:25,760
Speaker 1: seem to slow him down at all. And I think

1970
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:29,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense, you know, led by Chris Jones, Frank Clark,

1971
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,880
Speaker 1: Tyrann Matthews a lot better than people give a credit for.

1972
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:36,479
Speaker 1: But my heart says Brady, I'm done, I'm done, you know,

1973
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 1: overlooking this guy, not giving him the credit, betting against him.

1974
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 1: I bet against him in that NFC Championship game. I

1975
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 1: thought the Packers were going to roll over them. And

1976
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, serves me right for not picking Tom Brady.

1977
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's what he's doing again is just unbelievable.

1978
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 1: The Buck's defense is absolutely good enough to carry this

1979
01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:59,720
Speaker 1: team to a title. They give me strong vibes of

1980
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:03,200
Speaker 1: twenty and fifteen Denver Broncos when they went to the

1981
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:06,519
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, you know, really based off their pass rush

1982
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:10,320
Speaker 1: behind Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware and JPP and Shack

1983
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:13,680
Speaker 1: Barrett have just been dominant in this playoff run. And

1984
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 1: now the Chiefs don't have their left tackle and Eric

1985
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:18,760
Speaker 1: Fisher he's out with a torn achilles. So I think

1986
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:20,960
Speaker 1: the you know, Brady's gonna get all the attention but

1987
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:24,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks defense has just been dominant, playing really fast

1988
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:26,720
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball and aggressive, So it's

1989
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a closed one. I want to take the Chiefs,

1990
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:31,000
Speaker 1: but I I can't pick against Tom Brady at this point,

1991
01:50:31,040 --> 01:50:34,240
Speaker 1: So I'm taking Tom Brady and the Bucks to prevail. No,

1992
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:37,360
Speaker 1: get his seven championship break. Oh wow? All right, man,

1993
01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:40,080
Speaker 1: Well that's a tough note for people in Buffalo to

1994
01:50:40,240 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 1: end up on there, Ben, But well, thank you for

1995
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:46,520
Speaker 1: the time anyway. Good luck covering the Super Bowl festivities.

1996
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 1: We know you'll have your ear to the ground on

1997
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:49,760
Speaker 1: that stuff. We'll be looking for some of your write

1998
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:52,559
Speaker 1: ups in the Boston Globe. Thanks for the time, all right,

1999
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:54,519
Speaker 1: thanks for having guys. All right, that's Ben Voland from

2000
01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:57,960
Speaker 1: the Boston Globe, NFL writer, and he is predicting a

2001
01:50:58,160 --> 01:51:01,120
Speaker 1: seventh Super Bowl title for Tom Brady. I don't know

2002
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:04,080
Speaker 1: if I could be more depressed. That's not bothering me

2003
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:06,600
Speaker 1: too much. Oh God, I got be honest. Does he

2004
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 1: really need to win anymore? Though? I mean honest to

2005
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:11,840
Speaker 1: Pete Steve, you know, he doesn't need to win anything.

2006
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't need that. Not that the Chiefs need to

2007
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 1: eat that they just won Lance. You think about it,

2008
01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:18,680
Speaker 1: that will be like the you know, the uh, you know,

2009
01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 1: Joe Dimajo fifty get six game hit with hitting streets

2010
01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:23,600
Speaker 1: seven super Bowls. Seven super Bowls would be like the

2011
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 1: fifty six game hitting streak, And what does it? Ten

2012
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:29,280
Speaker 1: will be like the ten appearances in the Super Bowl,

2013
01:51:29,439 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 1: like Bob Beeman's long jump records actually broken, but you

2014
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:34,320
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. It's gonna be one of

2015
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:39,760
Speaker 1: those records. You know. Think about this, Steve. It's impressive

2016
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:42,840
Speaker 1: enough that he's got a chance to win seven of

2017
01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:45,080
Speaker 1: these and that he's now been This will be his

2018
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 1: tenth Super Bowl appearance. If he wins this thing. Can

2019
01:51:48,320 --> 01:51:51,280
Speaker 1: you imagine not only winning seven but having a seventy

2020
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:54,439
Speaker 1: percent winning percentage in the most important game of the year.

2021
01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:57,439
Speaker 1: Holy cow, to play enough to get it to seventy percent?

2022
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:01,160
Speaker 1: Well well right, well that's I prefaced it by saying

2023
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:03,640
Speaker 1: it's impressive enough to get there ten times, but then

2024
01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:06,559
Speaker 1: win seven of them, have a seventy percent winning percentage

2025
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:10,200
Speaker 1: in the ultimate game time, Holy crows. Big. I mean,

2026
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:12,200
Speaker 1: it won't be the best winning percentage, but it's because

2027
01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 1: he's been there so many times, you know, four and

2028
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:21,599
Speaker 1: oh right, right, Montana is four and oh right, three

2029
01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:25,599
Speaker 1: eighty four, eighty eight, eighty nine, yeah, four and oh

2030
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, But it's only because he's been to

2031
01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: ten of them. Ten. That's crazy. And if it weren't

2032
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:40,080
Speaker 1: for the Giants, he'd won maybe two more, maybe two more. Yeah,

2033
01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:44,200
Speaker 1: he could have had nine nine out of ten. That's stupid.

2034
01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:46,679
Speaker 1: That's seven out of ten is stupid. What's a nine

2035
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:49,040
Speaker 1: out of ten? Is? Others work? Be Will Chamberlain's hundred

2036
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:51,960
Speaker 1: points in a game? Yeah, nobody's I don't think anybody's

2037
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:54,559
Speaker 1: getting that. I don't think Kobe had eighty one? Yeah,

2038
01:52:54,720 --> 01:52:58,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, who else? What's another sports record that's gonna stand?

2039
01:52:58,280 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 1: Demagio fifty six games? Think anybody's such in that. That's

2040
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:08,040
Speaker 1: that's dumb. That defies any logic whatsoever. Because hitting is it.

2041
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:11,000
Speaker 1: I still think it's the hardest thing to do in sports,

2042
01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:13,640
Speaker 1: like consistently, do you know what I mean? Anybody can

2043
01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 1: swing a bat and get lucky and hit a ball,

2044
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:17,640
Speaker 1: But to hit for that kind of an average, you

2045
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:20,360
Speaker 1: know what else? I mean? And I think, what is it?

2046
01:53:20,439 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 1: Only four guys have ever hit for four hundred for

2047
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:25,439
Speaker 1: an average? I mean Ted Williams did the last. But

2048
01:53:25,520 --> 01:53:27,760
Speaker 1: if that many many in four h six, but he's

2049
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:29,400
Speaker 1: the last guy to do it. Who what is it?

2050
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,479
Speaker 1: Was another sports record like that? I mean there isn't one.

2051
01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:35,560
Speaker 1: There really isn't. Yeah, we haven't seen anybody do that.

2052
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:38,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you know Tiger in the two thousands or something

2053
01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:40,439
Speaker 1: winning all those things. But I mean Jordan win six

2054
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:44,479
Speaker 1: and oh in finals. Yeah, that's big, that's big, went

2055
01:53:44,520 --> 01:53:46,519
Speaker 1: to the final six times one. Also, Lebron has been

2056
01:53:46,600 --> 01:53:49,960
Speaker 1: how many finals? I think it's eight or nine or nine. Yeah,

2057
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 1: and he's got four titles four four he just got

2058
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:57,240
Speaker 1: his No, he got that was four, that was four. Yeah.

2059
01:53:57,920 --> 01:54:01,519
Speaker 1: And then you got what other sports you can even

2060
01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:07,280
Speaker 1: can even talk about? Um, well, I mean the Islanders

2061
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:12,200
Speaker 1: won four straight Cups, right, nobody. I mean the Oilers

2062
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 1: won three in a row. I think they won four

2063
01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 1: and five years, but they did not win four straight.

2064
01:54:16,479 --> 01:54:18,320
Speaker 1: And I think the Islanders still have the record for

2065
01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:23,080
Speaker 1: most consecutive playoff series one nineteen. That's a tough one

2066
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:27,639
Speaker 1: nineteen consecutive playoff series. Wow, that's pretty big. That's a lot. Yeah,

2067
01:54:27,680 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 1: that's a lot because you got four rounds in the

2068
01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:32,040
Speaker 1: in the hockey, so that gives you an extra company. Yeah,

2069
01:54:32,080 --> 01:54:34,160
Speaker 1: because they went all the way to the Stanley Cup

2070
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:36,320
Speaker 1: Finals for the fifth year and then lost in the

2071
01:54:36,440 --> 01:54:40,440
Speaker 1: fifth their fifth straight finals to the Oilers. That's nineteen

2072
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 1: consecutive playoffs. Twitter poll coming up, we got to that's

2073
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 1: a good one for the off season, Steve. We gotta

2074
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 1: start coming up with those kinds of ijea, Harris, write

2075
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:53,200
Speaker 1: that down for for some time in the off season.

2076

Speaker 1: Most impressive, most impressive sports record, all time record accomplishment. Yeah,

2077
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:01,080
Speaker 1: all right, we'll put them in the back burn. We'll

2078
01:55:01,120 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 1: put that on the back turn to get the weeds

2079
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 1: on that one. All right. We will take a break

2095
01:56:10,240 --> 01:56:12,080
Speaker 1: and we're hoping for that, but it would have been

2096
01:56:12,160 --> 01:56:14,000
Speaker 1: nice to have just a couple more of these. But

2097
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:17,760
Speaker 1: I guess wrapping it up with a season ending Mattie

01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:25,880
Speaker 1: different spin than we're used to write. Like you really

2102
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:33,200

2103
01:56:33,240 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 1: put a bow on it, and look ahead. Fair enough,

2104
01:56:35,960 --> 01:56:40,240
Speaker 1: So we will do that and begin with most Improved

2105
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:45,960
Speaker 1: Offensive Player. Okay, I'm sure this is not a shock

2106
01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:52,160
Speaker 1: to anyone, but most improved offensive Player Josh Allen. What

2107
01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:56,200
Speaker 1: of course, he's the most improved offensive player. Come on,

2108
01:56:56,440 --> 01:56:59,520
Speaker 1: with strides that he took from last season to this season.

2109
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:02,520
Speaker 1: A lot of people said when we talked to some

2110
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:06,400
Speaker 1: ESPN analysts. Mina Kimes was one of them. A lot

2111
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 1: of former players said, hey, we've never seen a jump

2112
01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 1: like this from year two to year three in the

2113
01:57:12,560 --> 01:57:16,080
Speaker 1: modern era of football. The strides he took from the

2114
01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:19,400
Speaker 1: completion percentage bump from fifty eight and a half percent

2115
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:22,280
Speaker 1: to sixty nine point two, the twenty one point nine

2116
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:25,800
Speaker 1: increase and passer rating, which was the sixth biggest increase

2117
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:30,040
Speaker 1: in quarterbacks in their first three seasons since nineteen seventy.

2118
01:57:30,240 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he had several three hundred yard games. Four

2119
01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:36,960
Speaker 1: hundred yard games, broke all those franchise records. They had

2120
01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:40,080
Speaker 1: the franchise record for most points scored in a season

2121
01:57:40,120 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 1: with five hundred and one. And I think the most

2122
01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:45,560
Speaker 1: important part was we didn't see too much hero Josh

2123
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:48,760
Speaker 1: Allen or sugar hide Josh Allen, as Kyle Brandt likes

2124
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 1: to say, Yes, in some games he did go to that,

2125
01:57:52,360 --> 01:57:54,480
Speaker 1: but for the most part, he took what the defense

2126
01:57:54,560 --> 01:57:57,200
Speaker 1: gave him. He made changes that he needed to at

2127
01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and its o how much he

2128
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:04,360
Speaker 1: has grown since year two. It was easy to see

2129
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:07,440
Speaker 1: that in weeks one, two, three, it was like, wait,

2130
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:11,800
Speaker 1: who is this quarterback, And like he said, I proved

2131
01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 1: that they didn't make a mistake by drafting me. What

2132
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen said in his press conference to wrap up

2133
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:23,440
Speaker 1: the season, he is definitely true. Yeah, no question about it.

2134
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:26,080
Speaker 1: And what are some of the that was one of

2135
01:58:26,120 --> 01:58:28,200
Speaker 1: the actually got on a national level as well, so

2136
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:30,880
Speaker 1: it makes good sense. What about offensive player of the year.

2137
01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 1: My offensive player of the year is his best friend

2138
01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:40,680
Speaker 1: on the field that he threw the ball to several times.

2139
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:44,120
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs, who led the league in receptions one hundred

2140
01:58:44,200 --> 01:58:48,960
Speaker 1: twenty seven, led the league in receiving yards, had seventeen

2141
01:58:49,040 --> 01:58:51,880
Speaker 1: games of at least six catches, had nine games of

2142
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:55,240
Speaker 1: at least one hundred receiving yards when you include the playoffs,

2143
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:58,720
Speaker 1: this was a career high year from him in receptions

2144
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:02,760
Speaker 1: receiving yards. I mean, Josh's right hand man is what

2145
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:06,000
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs did. And Brownie and I have talked about

2146
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:10,919
Speaker 1: in more pregame show he was essentially unstoppable by any defense.

2147
01:59:11,040 --> 01:59:14,040
Speaker 1: The Chiefs defense was really the only defense that got

2148
01:59:14,120 --> 01:59:17,280
Speaker 1: to him, and that's because their corners at play press

2149
01:59:17,440 --> 01:59:21,920
Speaker 1: coverage so well. He proved that he was a top

2150
01:59:22,080 --> 01:59:26,040
Speaker 1: three wide receiver in this year, and he is a

2151
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 1: big reason why this offense had so much success. He

2152
01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:35,960
Speaker 1: is such a talented pass catcher, such an athletic player

2153
01:59:36,120 --> 01:59:39,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean his route running ability, the

2154
01:59:39,440 --> 01:59:41,720
Speaker 1: way that he's able to get open and make the

2155
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:47,440
Speaker 1: tough catches. He was the MVP of this offense. Yeah,

2156
01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 1: I think that's yeah, that one's a no brainer. This one, though,

2157
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:53,080
Speaker 1: I think, is a little bit more tricky. Rookie of

2158
01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:57,840
Speaker 1: the Year. There's more than one candidate here, I think, yeah,

2159
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 1: there were. There were a couple that I was toined tween,

2160
02:00:00,440 --> 02:00:03,080
Speaker 1: but I ended up going with Gabriel Davis as our

2161
02:00:03,160 --> 02:00:07,200
Speaker 1: rookie MVP this season. He grew into having a pretty

2162
02:00:07,240 --> 02:00:09,360
Speaker 1: solid role with the offense. And I think a lot

2163
02:00:09,440 --> 02:00:12,640
Speaker 1: of us saw this in Davis when we were watching

2164
02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:15,360
Speaker 1: him in training camp, kind of thinking, wow, this doesn't

2165
02:00:15,400 --> 02:00:18,520
Speaker 1: look like a fourth round pick at all. He averaged

2166
02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:22,160
Speaker 1: seventeen point two yards per catch, which led the Bills.

2167
02:00:22,200 --> 02:00:26,280
Speaker 1: It also led all rookie wide receivers. He learned how

2168
02:00:26,320 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 1: to play every wide receiver position. That was something that

2169
02:00:29,280 --> 02:00:31,640
Speaker 1: was asked of him. That was something that Brian Davill

2170
02:00:31,920 --> 02:00:34,920
Speaker 1: had talked about several times saying, hey, this is not

2171
02:00:35,160 --> 02:00:37,360
Speaker 1: normal for a rookie to do, but he is that

2172
02:00:37,600 --> 02:00:40,520
Speaker 1: smart and we trust him that much. He stepped up

2173
02:00:40,640 --> 02:00:43,440
Speaker 1: big when John Brown was hurt. He had those two

2174
02:00:43,600 --> 02:00:47,880
Speaker 1: fifty yard receptions against the Dolphins in Week seventeen, had

2175
02:00:47,960 --> 02:00:52,360
Speaker 1: some really crucial catches in the playoffs to help this

2176
02:00:52,560 --> 02:00:55,280
Speaker 1: team win two games in the playoffs. He proved that

2177
02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:58,080
Speaker 1: he was way more valuable than the round that he

2178
02:00:58,200 --> 02:01:00,960
Speaker 1: was drafted in. I think also that he's got a

2179
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:03,520
Speaker 1: long future in the NFL based on how he played

2180
02:01:03,520 --> 02:01:06,720
Speaker 1: in his first season, let alone his first season during

2181
02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:10,400
Speaker 1: a pandemic when the off season did not help the

2182
02:01:10,520 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 1: rookies at all. Really, how nice will it be for

2183
02:01:13,120 --> 02:01:15,840
Speaker 1: these young players and actually live a normal life in

2184
02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:17,440
Speaker 1: the NFL in the locker room and not have to

2185
02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:19,680
Speaker 1: get tested for COVID every day. There's also one of

2186
02:01:19,720 --> 02:01:22,120
Speaker 1: these that I really thought was interesting. Another award. You

2187
02:01:22,200 --> 02:01:24,160
Speaker 1: got one on offense and one on defense. What's the

2188
02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:30,000
Speaker 1: offensive player you couldn't do without? I couldn't do without

2189
02:01:30,200 --> 02:01:33,440
Speaker 1: and the Bills couldn't do without Colbasily, this season, he

2190
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:37,600
Speaker 1: had a great year, was just shy of one thousand

2191
02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:40,800
Speaker 1: receiving yards during the regular season, he also had career

2192
02:01:40,920 --> 02:01:44,200
Speaker 1: highs like Stefan Biggs eighty two catches, nine hundred and

2193
02:01:44,240 --> 02:01:47,520
Speaker 1: sixty seven receiving yards. He was hurt a little bit.

2194
02:01:47,680 --> 02:01:51,440
Speaker 1: We found out that he played with a partially broken fibula,

2195
02:01:51,520 --> 02:01:54,960
Speaker 1: which is just crazy and shows what type of player

2196
02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:57,640
Speaker 1: he is. Willing to put the team on his back

2197
02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:00,560
Speaker 1: like that, and he proved to be an for part

2198
02:02:00,600 --> 02:02:04,080
Speaker 1: of this team during the regular season during the playoffs.

2199
02:02:04,200 --> 02:02:07,080
Speaker 1: I think he compliments the other receivers on this team

2200
02:02:07,160 --> 02:02:12,080
Speaker 1: really well. His chemistry has improved with Josh a lot

2201
02:02:12,200 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 1: over the last two seasons. He's such a mismatch for defenses.

2202
02:02:16,160 --> 02:02:18,240
Speaker 1: I think he makes the team better as a whole,

2203
02:02:18,680 --> 02:02:21,600
Speaker 1: and I'm really looking forward to seeing what this offense

2204
02:02:21,680 --> 02:02:24,120
Speaker 1: can do with Cole Beasley on the team. He had

2205
02:02:24,160 --> 02:02:27,040
Speaker 1: his best season yet as a wide receiver. Even though

2206
02:02:27,080 --> 02:02:29,480
Speaker 1: he's known as a veteran, I think he's got some

2207
02:02:29,720 --> 02:02:34,280
Speaker 1: great seasons ahead of him. Okay, so let's before we

2208
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:36,600
Speaker 1: flip it around on that couldn't do without you Award,

2209
02:02:36,720 --> 02:02:43,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to defensive MVP. My defensive MVP is going

2210
02:02:43,120 --> 02:02:47,800
Speaker 1: to a Pro Bowl. Snub mister Jordan Ployer, who tied

2211
02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:50,360
Speaker 1: for the lead with a one hundred and eighteen tackles

2212
02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:54,000
Speaker 1: among safeties in the NFL. He totally deserved to go

2213
02:02:54,040 --> 02:02:56,720
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl, didn't make it yet. Two interceptions,

2214
02:02:56,800 --> 02:02:59,880
Speaker 1: two forced fumbles. I think what he gives the defense

2215
02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:02,800
Speaker 1: as a whole. With Micah Hide next to him, that

2216
02:03:03,200 --> 02:03:07,960
Speaker 1: tandem safety is unmatched. They're a big reason why this

2217
02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:10,920
Speaker 1: defense can't be beaten over the top. He proved his

2218
02:03:11,040 --> 02:03:13,520
Speaker 1: importance and his worth this season. I think him and

2219
02:03:13,640 --> 02:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Mica continue to do that every season and our big

2220
02:03:16,960 --> 02:03:20,200
Speaker 1: reason why this defense has been so good over the

2221
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:23,600
Speaker 1: last few seasons. He's a jewice player too. Defense. Yeah,

2222
02:03:23,680 --> 02:03:26,560
Speaker 1: he gives that whole unit of juice exactly exactly. Who's

2223
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:28,480
Speaker 1: the most improved You said josh Adden was the most

2224
02:03:28,480 --> 02:03:33,640
Speaker 1: improved offensive player. Who's the most improved defensive player? So

2225
02:03:33,800 --> 02:03:37,200
Speaker 1: most improved defensive player. I don't think anybody, like any

2226
02:03:37,240 --> 02:03:40,120
Speaker 1: of our starters really shot out of a cannon this season.

2227
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:44,400
Speaker 1: We heard Ed Oliver, like some of the coaches talked about,

2228
02:03:44,480 --> 02:03:46,440
Speaker 1: had a good season. He was asked to do some

2229
02:03:46,560 --> 02:03:49,360
Speaker 1: things he wouldn't normally have done this year because Starr

2230
02:03:49,520 --> 02:03:51,600
Speaker 1: was not on the team. Jordan Phillips was not on

2231
02:03:51,680 --> 02:03:53,840
Speaker 1: the team, but I think somebody who was the most

2232
02:03:53,960 --> 02:03:57,640
Speaker 1: improved player with somebody who got benched earlier in the season.

2233
02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:02,160
Speaker 1: It's Tarren Johnson. He had two picks sixes. Who does

2234
02:04:02,320 --> 02:04:05,120
Speaker 1: that in a season? That is not common at all.

2235
02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:09,280
Speaker 1: One came against the Ravens in the playoffs, a crucial

2236
02:04:09,440 --> 02:04:12,840
Speaker 1: play to help them win that game. He doubled his

2237
02:04:12,960 --> 02:04:15,920
Speaker 1: solo tackles basically from last year to this year, going

2238
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:19,280
Speaker 1: from thirty six in twenty nineteen to sixty two in

2239
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:23,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. He started eleven games this year, up from seven,

2240
02:04:24,080 --> 02:04:27,080
Speaker 1: played in the all sixteen games this year, up from

2241
02:04:27,160 --> 02:04:30,360
Speaker 1: twelve last year. So I think he proved that he

2242
02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:33,800
Speaker 1: can be an important player on this defense and the

2243
02:04:33,920 --> 02:04:36,680
Speaker 1: team can rely on him when they need to. He

2244
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:39,040
Speaker 1: was able to flip that switch in the second half

2245
02:04:39,080 --> 02:04:42,480
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, And you know, staying healthy was

2246
02:04:42,560 --> 02:04:44,520
Speaker 1: important for him this year. He was finally able to

2247
02:04:44,560 --> 02:04:49,080
Speaker 1: do that, and and playing nickel the Bills, playing nickel

2248
02:04:49,160 --> 02:04:50,840
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the time gave him a chance to

2249
02:04:50,920 --> 02:04:52,960
Speaker 1: really kind of make some big plays out there because

2250
02:04:52,960 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 1: he's on the field a lot more this season, so

2251
02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:56,720
Speaker 1: he made the most of it. So good on him.

2252
02:04:56,760 --> 02:05:00,400
Speaker 1: For doing that. They couldn't do it without you on

2253
02:05:00,520 --> 02:05:06,400
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Who doesn't love Trey White.

2254
02:05:07,200 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 1: We could not do it with Trey White on defense.

2255
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:11,520
Speaker 1: The Bills could not do with Tray White on defense.

2256
02:05:11,680 --> 02:05:14,000
Speaker 1: I know he didn't lead the league and interceptions this

2257
02:05:14,200 --> 02:05:16,160
Speaker 1: year like he did last year. He did lead the

2258
02:05:16,200 --> 02:05:18,880
Speaker 1: team with three interceptions though, and he is of course

2259
02:05:18,960 --> 02:05:21,840
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why this defense, like George Poyer,

2260
02:05:21,920 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 1: has been so good over the last few seasons. He

2261
02:05:24,840 --> 02:05:28,080
Speaker 1: was targeted a lot less this year, of course because

2262
02:05:28,120 --> 02:05:30,440
Speaker 1: of the season he had last year, but he was

2263
02:05:31,200 --> 02:05:34,560
Speaker 1: He allowed thirty four receptions, which ties for the second

2264
02:05:34,640 --> 02:05:38,800
Speaker 1: fewest among those corners who had five hundred or more

2265
02:05:38,880 --> 02:05:42,400
Speaker 1: coverage snaps according to PFF. So when he was targeted,

2266
02:05:42,680 --> 02:05:45,800
Speaker 1: he did a great job of denying passes and breaking

2267
02:05:45,840 --> 02:05:48,919
Speaker 1: passes up. He led the team with eleven passes defended,

2268
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:52,400
Speaker 1: and is of course such a big part of the

2269
02:05:52,520 --> 02:05:56,760
Speaker 1: identity on defense and on this team. All right, and

2270
02:05:57,120 --> 02:06:04,320
Speaker 1: let's see biggest surprise award. Biggest surprise to me is

2271
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:08,160
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass. Guys. Let's think back to the summer when

2272
02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:11,560
Speaker 1: he beat out Stephen Hashka. I think all of us

2273
02:06:11,640 --> 02:06:14,680
Speaker 1: were a little bit shocked at how quickly that happened.

2274
02:06:15,120 --> 02:06:18,200
Speaker 1: And I'll remember us drafting Tyler Bass in the sixth

2275
02:06:18,360 --> 02:06:22,400
Speaker 1: round thinking, okay, like, maybe this is our new kicker.

2276
02:06:22,640 --> 02:06:25,440
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens in training camp when when the

2277
02:06:25,520 --> 02:06:28,320
Speaker 1: two battle it out and he won that job. Had

2278
02:06:28,360 --> 02:06:31,720
Speaker 1: a slow start to the season, but had a really

2279
02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:34,080
Speaker 1: great second half. So many of these players on this

2280
02:06:34,200 --> 02:06:36,640
Speaker 1: team had such a great second half to the season.

2281
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:39,480
Speaker 1: He was eight of nine from forty to forty nine

2282
02:06:39,560 --> 02:06:43,200
Speaker 1: yards out, four to six from fifty or more yards out.

2283
02:06:43,680 --> 02:06:46,440
Speaker 1: He had the franchise record for most points, beat Steve

2284
02:06:46,560 --> 02:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Chrissy with one hundred and forty one. So a young

2285
02:06:50,240 --> 02:06:53,680
Speaker 1: guy again proved like Gabriel Davis, proved that he was

2286
02:06:53,760 --> 02:06:56,000
Speaker 1: way more valuable than a sixth round pick in his

2287
02:06:56,120 --> 02:06:59,400
Speaker 1: first year. Yeah, really a fantastic rookie year for him,

2288
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:00,920
Speaker 1: no question about it. He was going to be my

2289
02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:03,760
Speaker 1: honorable mention for your Rookie of the Year award there

2290
02:07:03,800 --> 02:07:07,040
Speaker 1: after Dave Davis, who was certainly deserving. Man one hundred

2291
02:07:07,080 --> 02:07:10,120
Speaker 1: and forty one points. That's nothing as soon as all right,

2292
02:07:10,200 --> 02:07:13,800
Speaker 1: So now we move on to let's see what do

2293
02:07:13,880 --> 02:07:17,040
Speaker 1: we have here? The Best Play award. Yeah, now that

2294
02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:21,080
Speaker 1: that's toughest play of the year. That's a tough one, man.

2295
02:07:21,120 --> 02:07:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm giving it to the defense, okay, And it's gonna

2296
02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:29,560
Speaker 1: be Tarn Johnson's pick six against the Baltimore Ravens, just

2297
02:07:29,760 --> 02:07:33,640
Speaker 1: because how big that game was, the situation. Yes, the

2298
02:07:33,720 --> 02:07:36,120
Speaker 1: Bills had to lead at that point, but going up

2299
02:07:36,200 --> 02:07:41,000
Speaker 1: seventeen to three, it was so fun to watch that game.

2300
02:07:41,120 --> 02:07:43,920
Speaker 1: It's so fun also to watch the defense takeover. So

2301
02:07:44,080 --> 02:07:47,440
Speaker 1: much of this year we watched the offense just ball

2302
02:07:47,520 --> 02:07:51,360
Speaker 1: out and really be the force of the team and

2303
02:07:51,600 --> 02:07:53,600
Speaker 1: lead the way. But it was always fun to watch

2304
02:07:53,720 --> 02:07:56,720
Speaker 1: the defense lead the way and coming strong when they

2305
02:07:56,800 --> 02:08:01,360
Speaker 1: needed to. So Tarn johnson picks six against the Ravens

2306
02:08:01,440 --> 02:08:03,480
Speaker 1: gets my best play of the year. Yeah, another one

2307
02:08:03,520 --> 02:08:05,400
Speaker 1: I like too. What's the best win of the year.

2308
02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:08,080
Speaker 1: What's the win of the year. There's fifteen of them

2309
02:08:08,120 --> 02:08:11,080
Speaker 1: to choose for win of the year. There were so many.

2310
02:08:11,280 --> 02:08:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about playoffs. We had some great regular season wins,

2311
02:08:15,400 --> 02:08:19,280
Speaker 1: some important regular season wins that helped us solidify that

2312
02:08:19,400 --> 02:08:24,080
Speaker 1: AFC East title. But Sean McDermott's first playoff win, get

2313
02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:27,240
Speaker 1: the monkey off your back. They won a playoff game,

2314
02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:29,960
Speaker 1: They're able to move on. It's the Colts win. That

2315
02:08:30,200 --> 02:08:34,280
Speaker 1: game came down to the last play, that Hail Mary

2316
02:08:34,360 --> 02:08:37,880
Speaker 1: that Philip Rivers threw up, which Micah Hyde was able

2317
02:08:37,960 --> 02:08:41,880
Speaker 1: to get in front of and back down. Josh had

2318
02:08:41,920 --> 02:08:44,640
Speaker 1: a great game. He completed seventy four percent of his

2319
02:08:44,760 --> 02:08:48,280
Speaker 1: passes for three hundred twenty four yards two touchdowns, had

2320
02:08:48,280 --> 02:08:51,320
Speaker 1: a passer rating of one twenty one point six. Final

2321
02:08:51,400 --> 02:08:54,680
Speaker 1: score twenty seven to twenty four. Just a fun game,

2322
02:08:54,840 --> 02:08:58,240
Speaker 1: a fun moment to get that first playoff win. So

2323
02:08:58,440 --> 02:09:00,680
Speaker 1: many players on that team where able to do that.

2324
02:09:01,400 --> 02:09:04,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen one of those players who was probably really

2325
02:09:05,120 --> 02:09:09,440
Speaker 1: excited to get his first playoff win as an NFL quarterback. Yeah.

2326
02:09:09,560 --> 02:09:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean you could tell just by the reaction, especially

2327
02:09:11,640 --> 02:09:13,360
Speaker 1: from the guys who had been here for all four

2328
02:09:13,440 --> 02:09:15,280
Speaker 1: years with coach McDermott. That was the get over the

2329
02:09:15,360 --> 02:09:17,720
Speaker 1: Hump game. I mean, man, no question about it was

2330
02:09:17,760 --> 02:09:20,760
Speaker 1: to get over the hump game. Okay, last one, Maddie,

2331
02:09:21,160 --> 02:09:23,800
Speaker 1: the best touchdown of the year for a team that

2332
02:09:23,880 --> 02:09:29,160
Speaker 1: scored five hundred one points. This is a challenge. Yeah, well,

2333
02:09:29,320 --> 02:09:32,800
Speaker 1: I love trick plays, so it's got to be one

2334
02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:35,880
Speaker 1: of the handful of trick plays that Brian day Ball

2335
02:09:35,920 --> 02:09:39,520
Speaker 1: pulled out of his bag during the regular season. Think

2336
02:09:39,560 --> 02:09:42,720
Speaker 1: back to the Chargers Play Charters game. It was the

2337
02:09:42,920 --> 02:09:46,000
Speaker 1: second quarter, the Bills had the lead seven to six,

2338
02:09:46,680 --> 02:09:50,160
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen decided to give the ball to Cole Beasley.

2339
02:09:50,600 --> 02:09:53,840
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley throws the ball from twenty eight yard line

2340
02:09:53,840 --> 02:09:57,520
Speaker 1: to Gabriel Davis for a touchdown. That was my favorite

2341
02:09:57,600 --> 02:10:02,640
Speaker 1: touchdown of the year. I trick play lover, so that

2342
02:10:02,840 --> 02:10:04,760
Speaker 1: was my favorite one. I think, Matt, I think you

2343
02:10:04,880 --> 02:10:07,600
Speaker 1: might be hearing from Isaiah McKenzie though on on social

2344
02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:10,760
Speaker 1: media Maddie for not picking him for his touchdowns. He

2345
02:10:10,840 --> 02:10:12,760
Speaker 1: might be he might be after you on that one.

2346
02:10:12,800 --> 02:10:15,120
Speaker 1: I like too. I got to say, oh, yeah, that

2347
02:10:15,200 --> 02:10:17,680
Speaker 1: was a good one. That wasn't even an offensive touchdown. Yeah,

2348
02:10:17,680 --> 02:10:21,000
Speaker 1: I didn't think. Actually, that's the only special team's touchdown

2349
02:10:21,640 --> 02:10:25,240
Speaker 1: they scored all year, right, Well, yeah, don't happen. Yeah, yeah,

2350
02:10:25,360 --> 02:10:28,800
Speaker 1: that's the only one. Wow. All right, Well, good stuff, Maddie.

2351
02:10:28,840 --> 02:10:31,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for putting a bow on the twenty twenty season

2352
02:10:31,120 --> 02:10:35,360
Speaker 1: with the Maddie Awards. We appreciate it. Yeah, of course,

2353
02:10:35,480 --> 02:10:37,480
Speaker 1: my pleasure. Can't wait to do more of these next

2354
02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:42,880
Speaker 1: season week one where yeah, absolutely absolutely all right, thanks

2355
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:46,320
Speaker 1: very much, Maddie, we appreciate it. That's Maddie Glabar, colleague

2356
02:10:46,360 --> 02:10:50,120
Speaker 1: at uh well everywhere Buffalo Bills dot Com video. She's

2357
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:54,120
Speaker 1: multi medium. We have to take a break, but when

2358
02:10:54,160 --> 02:10:56,840
Speaker 1: we come back, Steve and I will close this up

2359
02:10:57,160 --> 02:10:59,440
Speaker 1: with what have we learned? Here? On a Thursday edition

2360
02:10:59,480 --> 02:11:02,040
Speaker 1: of One Bill Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

2361
02:11:02,160 --> 02:11:21,000
Speaker 1: Bills Radio time for what have we learned? Brought to

2362
02:11:21,040 --> 02:11:25,000
Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of

2363
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:29,120
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Well, I mean we essentially learned today.

2364
02:11:29,200 --> 02:11:33,480
Speaker 1: It was confirmed anyway that Deshaun Watson has formerly asked

2365
02:11:33,520 --> 02:11:37,200
Speaker 1: for a trade, So just lump him in with every

2366
02:11:37,240 --> 02:11:40,520
Speaker 1: other quarterback that's probably going to be on the move now.

2367
02:11:40,600 --> 02:11:45,080
Speaker 1: I know. Adam Schefter said he thinks eighteen quarterbacks could

2368
02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:49,000
Speaker 1: be changing destinations. That's way too high. Then just let's

2369
02:11:49,040 --> 02:11:52,720
Speaker 1: tell you this. Aaron Rodgers is not leven Green Bay, right,

2370
02:11:53,480 --> 02:11:56,000
Speaker 1: don't be stupid, but I think there could be ten

2371
02:11:56,680 --> 02:12:00,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in different places by the time the musical chairs well,

2372
02:12:00,560 --> 02:12:02,400
Speaker 1: New England's gotta have a new one. New Orleans is

2373
02:12:02,440 --> 02:12:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna get a new one too. And then you have

2374
02:12:04,760 --> 02:12:07,840
Speaker 1: the guys who want out. Cam Newton, Jacksonville have a

2375
02:12:07,880 --> 02:12:09,880
Speaker 1: new one. Jack draft Bill will have a new one.

2376
02:12:10,240 --> 02:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Jared goffin La. They don't know if they don't want

2377
02:12:12,280 --> 02:12:15,120
Speaker 1: that guy. Matt Stafford's out of Detroit, Deshaun Watson, of course,

2378
02:12:15,240 --> 02:12:18,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and in San Francisco. And let me just

2379
02:12:18,160 --> 02:12:19,720
Speaker 1: tell we didn't get into this this, but I'm telling

2380
02:12:19,760 --> 02:12:22,320
Speaker 1: you this. It is not going to end well in

2381
02:12:22,400 --> 02:12:25,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh for Ben Rothisberger. It's gonna get it's gonna get ugly. Well, yeah,

2382
02:12:25,520 --> 02:12:27,480
Speaker 1: he don't want to play. They won't want him, and

2383
02:12:27,560 --> 02:12:30,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna make us. He's gonna throw a fit. They'll

2384
02:12:30,160 --> 02:12:31,960
Speaker 1: have to get rid of him and will not end well.

2385
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:34,280
Speaker 1: I'd like to see Ben Roethlisberger in a temper tantrum.

2386
02:12:34,320 --> 02:12:36,840
Speaker 1: That would be entertaining. Well, I mean it's you know,

2387
02:12:37,240 --> 02:12:39,920
Speaker 1: temper tantrum in the meeting through social media. You know

2388
02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:42,640
Speaker 1: how that is is? Oh yeah, we do, Ben roths

2389
02:12:42,680 --> 02:12:44,280
Speaker 1: We've seen that story. Because I'll tell you this, Ben

2390
02:12:44,400 --> 02:12:46,480
Speaker 1: Rothsberger iss gonna play football next year. So I bet

2391
02:12:46,520 --> 02:12:50,560
Speaker 1: you it's not with us. So here's the questions. Okay,

2392
02:12:51,320 --> 02:12:55,480
Speaker 1: we saw Levon Bell temper tantrum his way out of Pittsburgh.

2393
02:12:55,600 --> 02:12:58,320
Speaker 1: We saw Antonio Brown temper tantrum his way out of Pittsburgh.

2394
02:12:58,640 --> 02:13:01,320
Speaker 1: How is Ben? How does Ben this temper tantrum compare.

2395
02:13:02,280 --> 02:13:05,960
Speaker 1: Because it's gonna happen, it's not gonna end. Well, it'll

2396
02:13:06,000 --> 02:13:09,000
Speaker 1: be adversarial in nature. Well, it all depends on how

2397
02:13:10,560 --> 02:13:14,520
Speaker 1: it happens. If the club says you're done, his temper

2398
02:13:14,600 --> 02:13:19,360
Speaker 1: tantrum is irrelevant. If the clubs can't decide and they

2399
02:13:19,440 --> 02:13:21,000
Speaker 1: want to and they want him to read him and

2400
02:13:21,440 --> 02:13:23,000
Speaker 1: they want to read, they want him back, but at

2401
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:25,080
Speaker 1: a reduce rate. They want him to, you know, forget,

2402
02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:29,160
Speaker 1: then it's gonna get ugly. And and yeah, that's gonna
