1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: plunder for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: in the strated bere of normalcy. Where are we going today? Oh?

5
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Would you like to know? We'll be happy to tell you.

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: It's one Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you.

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: It is the first of June. How about that? Very nice?

8
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: Already June. The calendar is turned once again as we

9
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: sit here on a Wednesday, ready to talk bills with you.

10
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: We'll get to the topic here shortly because there is

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: a topic we want you to weigh in on for

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: today's program. But we do have NFL news and notes.

13
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: As the bass pumps outside for OTA practice number two

14
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: of the week, I seriously don't think they can hear

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the bay. We can hear the basse from the practice

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: field through the wall. I don't know if you can

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: over our microphone. Man. They yeah, it's good, it's good stuff. Well, yeah,

18
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: it's out there. For two they didn't do that when

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: I played no. But it's out there for two reasons.

20
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: One you said did I answer too quickly? But you

21
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: said that like like as if did I answer too? Man,

22
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: we had we like music back in the dark, Guy,

23
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: I say it didn't like music. But the thought of

24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: it being like we didn't deserve it was the tone

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: there is what I'm saying this, I answered quickly, because

26
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: the thought of it being a staple presence at a

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: at a practice in that day and age was just

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: not even in consideration. It really was not. You're right.

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Pumping in crowd noise did eventually surface for important road games,

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: but besides that, there was no discernible noise outside of

31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: the communication between players and coaches. Yeah, it was quiet,

32
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: but I didn't have any music at all, which coach

33
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: McDermot and some other coaches before him introduced noise. McDermott

34
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: introduced music partially at the request of the players. I

35
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: think the players told him it helps to keep the

36
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: energy level of practice up. Also, that din and that

37
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: noise eventually helps, you know, it becomes second nature to them,

38
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: which in some ways can mimic mimic crowd noise. Yeah,

39
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: and you kind of tune out the white noise that's there,

40
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: and it helps you focus more on the communication. You

41
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: do need to pull into your ears. It's a skill set. Yeah,

42
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: it develops a skill set of drowning out the music

43
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: or the crowd noise or all the other stuff and

44
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: focusing on what's happening in front of you on the

45
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: field or on the sidelines. And that's and I can

46
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: see that and when we practice. Marv made a his

47
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: inquiry into it. The research at that time told Marv that,

48
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: and the people who were noise pollution experts or whatever

49
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: whatever told him that the one side effect of being

50
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: in a noisy, loud environment like that is exhausting because

51
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: your body is It raises your level of stress to

52
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: deal with the noise while still concentrating on what you're doing,

53
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: and it wears you out. So Marv would do just

54
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: the opposite of what they do today, which is sounds crazy,

55
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: but that's you know, it's where we go in our revolution,

56
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: because he thought, oh, you go with the information you have, right,

57
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: and so wait in order to get used to being

58
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: in a noisy environment. Sounds crazy, but it made some

59
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: sense to us. We were at a silent practice. Everybody

60
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: had and nobody was allowed to like yell or scream

61
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: or whatever. Whatever. You had to do it with eye contact, nonverbally,

62
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: be because then you had to you know, you couldn't

63
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: just say, hey, you know, widen your stance cup, you know,

64
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, get your split wider, get that coming here

65
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: at that He wouldn't. They wouldn't let Jim direct guys

66
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: on the offense except as though he couldn't be heard.

67
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: So it was our way of getting a skill set

68
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: that we could work in. We did it in silence. Yeah,

69
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: which I like the idea though of the music because

70
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: it does keep your energy out, it does, yes, and

71
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: coach wants energy at practice every day because he wants

72
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: practice to mimic the game as close as humanly possible,

73
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: and if music helps achieve that aim, it will remain

74
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: a staple of practices, and it has through the five

75
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: going on six years of mcdermot's tenure here, So it

76
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: serves the purpose. It also makes them hyper acute to

77
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: paying attention to the information they absolutely have to have

78
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: to execute and tuning out. So while maybe in stretch

79
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: line and maybe even an individual position drills, you know,

80
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: you're bouncing to the music that's out there, um, and

81
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: maybe you're doing that in between plays of a team period.

82
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: In the grand scheme of things, you're maybe subconsciously becoming

83
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: hyper acute to tuning into the things you need to,

84
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: which is the valuable communication informations that that's disseminated by

85
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: the coordinator, the coaches, or the quarterback or you know,

86
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the defense, Tremaine Edmonds, you know Micah

87
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: Hy Jordan bats. It creates a level of concentration that

88
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: is habit rather than rather than something you yeah, you

89
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: just kind of do it. You do it, yeah, you

90
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: get it. Get becomes a habit, a certain level of attension, concentration,

91
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: call it focus, call it what you want the mindset,

92
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: and that's what you need on game day. As we know,

93
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: the match is tonight between Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady

94
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: playing against Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. Saw NFL research

95
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: put a couple of things out on Twitter. Tom Brady

96
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers versus Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen pits

97
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: together the four winning his quarterbacks in the NFL since

98
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, which is kind of cool. Brady and Rodgers

99
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: are combined thirty one years older than Mahomes and Allen.

100
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I think if you put

101
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Allen's ages together, which is I think I

102
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: believe Mahomes is now twenty seven, Allen is twenty six,

103
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: so that's fifty three. They're only six years older than

104
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Brady combined. Oh, the grandpa jokes are gonna be flying

105
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: fast and furious to say too. And I'm you know,

106
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: I've been around golf and I've played with Josh not much,

107
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: but some how far you think he can hit that thing? Well,

108
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: I think it goes without saying then double it. I

109
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: think it goes without saying that Alan and Mahomes will

110
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: look great off the tea. Oh why did they hit

111
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: it straight? And we'll have an advantage there. But Josh,

112
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: I fear. I fear that Brady's short game is unmatched

113
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: by any of the other three. Maybe, yeah, perhaps here's

114
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: the thing. Um, you know, I play a lot of

115
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: golf and I've been around a lot of golfers. Yeah,

116
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: Josh can bust it. He can bust it, and that's

117
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: it's intimidating for guys in matching. I know, Brady, And

118
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: here's the thing that yet, and I know Josh has

119
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: made some comments about you while getting on that first

120
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: team is going to be something with people around and

121
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: all that none of these guys are gonna wet the

122
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: bed mentally, right, they're gonna because you can think, Wow,

123
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: it's really nerve wracking to be out there. Believe me,

124
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 1: they're fine. They're gonna. They're gonna come out and compete,

125
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a lot of fun for him.

126
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: We've heard all the so called trash talk that's gonna

127
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: take place tonight, and that should be entertaining in its

128
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: own right because it's all in good fun because you're

129
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: playing golf. Well, these guys live in a play in

130
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: an environment world right, the language of choice, right. And

131
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: while we expect there to be strong Grandpa jokes being

132
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: hurled from the younger side of this forsom to the

133
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: older side, super Bowl lost jokes, all of that stuff, right,

134
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: I fully expect Rogers and Brady to have this one

135
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: at the ready, including playoffs. Rogers and Brady are a

136
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: combined eight and two against Alan and Mahomes. Yeah, now

137
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: that I did. I do want to give credit where

138
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: it's due. Jeremy White on the morning show on WR

139
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: and Buffalo was saying that Mahomes and Alan should have

140
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: this one at the ready for Brady if he starts

141
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: chirping at them about super Bowls and all that stuff.

142
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: They can at least come back with, well, geez, time,

143
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: when the going got tough, you made you made quick

144
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: work of exiting out of the af See you went

145
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: over to that easy conference. You know that Rogers hasn't

146
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: been enjoying all these years. Or you can say, you know,

147
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: if Brady says anything about his ten super Bowls with

148
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: seven Wednesday, how tough can it be when you film

149
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: the other team's practice. Ah, I don't know if they're

150
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna go down that road, because then that gets the

151
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: league involved with some shady past. Hey did you inflate

152
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: your golf ball today? Um? Yeah. For those that don't

153
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: know a lot about golf, and I'll include myself in

154
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: that category, it is a shamble format. Tonight, each golfer

155
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: tea's off best shot is selected, but then from that

156
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: point on, each golfer plays their own ball until it's

157
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: hold out. So that's how they're gonna play it tonight,

158
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: which you know would certainly make my scores a lot

159
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: better if I even played all that often. I don't

160
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: just it's it's a tough. It's a tough format to

161
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: get in any kind of rhythm with your own game,

162
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: because you're always hitting somebody else's shot from a spot

163
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: you didn't expect to be in it. Get and plus

164
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: I'd be pleasantly surprised. All four guys will tee off.

165
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: Is that what you said? Right? This is a shamble.

166
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: All four guys will tee off and then they'll then

167
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: they'll walk to the next ball. Now, if like, if

168
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes HiT's a better shot drive than Josh, then Josh

169
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: is the second shot, and then Mahomes Ostensibly if it's

170
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: a part four, he'll make the first put. If Josh

171
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: makes it on the green or whatever whatever, then they

172
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: alternate in from there. Um, it gives you a chance

173
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: to have a ball and play off the tea every

174
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: hole and that you know, it'll make it more competitive.

175
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: He'll make it more competitive, and yeah, it'll be fun

176
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: and others. So we'll be glued to that tonight and

177
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: talk about that tomorrow on the show. For sure, there

178
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: is news on the Broncos sail front. According to sources

183
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: on those four bidding groups Rob Walton, Josh Harris, matt

184
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: Ishbia and Jose Feliciano not the one you're thinking of.

185
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: So just to give you a rundown of these people,

186
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: Rob Walton is the heir to the Walmart fortune. He's

187
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: worth about seventy billion. Josh Harris is the co owner

188
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia seventy six ers and the owner of

189
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: the New Jersey Devils. He's worth about seven and a

190
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: half billion, and he's also got Magic Johnson as part

191
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: of his consortium to buy the Broncos. Matt Ishbia has

00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: his brother just In partnering with him and they've made

193
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: their fortune apparently in the mortgage industry. They basically have

194
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: a mortgage empire. They're each worth I think they're worth

195
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: a combined eight billion. And then Jose Feliciano and his

196
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: partner Badad Eggbali are the founders of Clearly Capital Group,

197

Speaker 1: which is an equity investment firm and they handle special

198
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: situation transactions and they're worth about three point four billion

199
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: each total purchase price for a team that still has

200
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: four bidders, is expected to be as high as Steve

201
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: mentioned five billion dollars. You doubted me when I said

202
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: I did. I couldn't believe it. But here we are

203
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: five billion, and yeah, one of don't. I don't know

204
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: which owner it was, whether it was Robert Walton or

205
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: one of the other bidders, but they've said not only

206
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: would I want the team, I want to build a

207
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: new stadium. That was Walton, and he's got the money

208
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: to do it, obviously, He's yeah, he's been cold one,

209
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: which obviously will draw eyeballs immediately. And he was talking

210
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: about building a facility that would rival so far right,

211
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: which would probably mean in a city like Denver, it's

212
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: got a dome on it so it can host Super

213
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: Bowl events that will perk up the years of any

214
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: NFL owner. Right, Not only are you buying the team

215
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: and line in our pockets with your purchase price, you're

216
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna build a stadium too. Oh I'm listening right, because

217
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: you do. They do need more cities available for Super Bowls,

218
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: not the Denver's pretty in February, and actually, yeah, it'd

219
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: be sunny. It'll be sunny, but it's gonna be cold. Well, yeah,

220
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: a lot of those outdoor events. Denver super Bowl handle

221
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: the super Bowl because yeah, infrastructure, the hotels, the airport,

222
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: and there would be an an entire Yeah, it has

223
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: all its own enticements as as entity, all like LA does,

224
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: like Arizona does, and all the rest um it would be.

225
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: And here's why it's a four sports city. Any time

226
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: they can get another city into the bidding war for

227
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, it drives the price up because you're

228
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: what happens. And I didn't know this until a few

229
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: years ago. I just took it for granted. They just said,

230
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna award the city. I think, well, what happened?

231
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: The city cuts a nine figure check to the NFL

232
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: for the right to host. Yeah, for the right just

233
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: for saying, yes, you get nine figures. That was like

234
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and it was like one hundred and fifty

235
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: or two hundred million bucks. Hi, we're Denver, we'd like

236
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: to host you out. That's that's all well and good.

237
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: How much you got right and you're giving us two

238
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty or three hundred or one hundred and fifty,

239
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: whatever the number is, Well, LA's gonna give us, you know,

240
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: twenty percent more than that, and Arizona is right there

241
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: at your number. Again, so the bidding goes up. And

242
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: this isn't even from the owners of the teams, and

243
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: that was from the city itself. And I would think

244
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: a city like Denver may have to pay more because

245
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: they can offer nice weather and outside venue opportunities. In

246
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: the middle of February, they can't even get in. They

247
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: can't even get in the conversation right now because they

248
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: have an outdoor statement and at a mile of elevation. Yeah,

249
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: so it would be, you know, a roll of the

250
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: dice as to whether the game could even take place.

251
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: Other NFL news that broke earlier today, the NFL networks

252
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: Tom Pellisero is reporting this. The House Oversight Committee on

253
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill has requested NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Commander's

254
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: owner Daniel Snyder to appear before the committee at a

255
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: hearing June twenty second, three weeks from today. They are

256
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: going to be required to testify about the Washington Commander's

257
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: hostile workplace culture. The hearing is supposed to examine the

258
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: NFL's response to those allegations and the need for legislative

259
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: reform on that front nflpr man Brian McCarthy in a statement,

260
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: we received the House Oversight Committee's invitation this morning. We

261
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: will respond directly in a timely manner. The NFL has

262
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: cooperated extensively throughout the committee's lengthy investigation of the Washington Commanders,

263
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: including producing more than four hundred and sixty thousand pages

264
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: of documents and responding to numerous questions and writing and

265
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: in conversations with the committee's staff. So we'll have to

266
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: just stand by and see how that goes when the

267
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: time comes on June twenty second, as those two will

268
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: undoubtedly appear before the House Oversight Committee and testify about

269
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: the hostile workplace culture that has been described by female

270
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: witnesses who used to work for the Washington franchise. Also,

271
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: Washington putting in a plan for a new stadium as well,

272
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: which they're jammering for. But the interesting thing about it

273
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: is we had this conversation before that the commanders they

274
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: put it in for a fifty five thousand seat statement

275
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: would be the smallest stadium in the National Football League.

276
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: Talked about this. Now the blackout rule is gone right right,

277
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: so you don't have to sell out to get your

278
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: team on local television. Right, so I don't know why

279
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: you would make a smaller stadium. They're having trouble selling

280
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: it out well, to the point where it looks bad

281
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: on television. But because let's not forget this for a

282
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: for about a six seven year period of time, Washington

283
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: Stadium was the largest in the league at ninety one

284
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: thousand seats, and they've been mired in mediocrity and people

285
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: don't like the owner in the home city to the

286
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: point where they have refused to go to games they

287
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: I think they average. They had the lowest um ticket

288
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: average ticket attendance average in the league last year at

289
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: just over fifty one thousand. That's why they're proposing a

290
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: fifty five thousand seat Stadium's right, that's exactly right. And

291
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: they'll still probably go high heavy on the luxury seating.

292
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: There's all well in the general seating. Do that you

293
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: can because you know you have a corporate tax space

294
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: to work with, right, Uh got some high rollers and

295
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: some powerful people exactly. So the stadium situation there also

296
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: is exacerbated by the owner. Dan Snyder, has been accused

297
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: of letting the stadium get decrepit. Yeah, not up, not No,

298
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: upkeep no investment in up right, he's not investing is

299
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: enough in it, if any or whatever. So he's been

300
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: criticized for that, and he is in using that, supposedly

301
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: to leverage a new stadium. He says, listen to you,

302
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: let's get a new one. Let's get rid of this

303
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: this you know, rat trap, whatever you want to call it.

304
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: And you know, while at the table he's doing, you know,

305
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: playing both sides. So, um, yeah, new stadium for Washington

306
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: Commanders as their owners being called to Washington along with

307
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell Um that all that's all getting sorted out,

308
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: as you know, as we speak. But a fifty five

309
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: thousand seat NFL stadium, it doesn't really does it. Now

310
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: that being said, now here's the thing. If they're now,

311
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: if that stadium, if they're rocking, and like every stadium,

312
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: I guess no they We even did it here in

313
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo when I was playing with that biggest stadium in

314
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: the league, and we set a tendency. So when the

315
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: team wins, people show up. And I just think, when

316
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: you get a fifty five thousand seat stadium and you're

317
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: and do turn things around, you're going to be kicking yourself, right,

318
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: I do think, though you're only doing a fifty five

319
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: thousand seeds stadium for general seating, if you're going all

320
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: in every luxury seating, and it's being confident you can

321
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: fill those because that's the only way you make up

322
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: the difference, because you only have a limited amount of

323
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: space in a stadium, But if you minimize the general seating,

324
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: you arguably have more square footage to devote to luxury seating,

325
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: and they clearly feel like they would be able to

326
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: fill those seats. That's my belief as to how their

327
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: plan is going to operate. Obviously, here with the bills

328
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: stadium plans, they're going to seat between sixty two and

329
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: sixty five thousand. Here, of course, you are dealing with

330
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: a much smaller market size in Buffalo as you would

331
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: in the general Washington, DC area. Yeah, I'm two different. Yeah,

332
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: it's a political city and the seats are commodities to

333
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: be traded. Bartered. Cleveland Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski addressed

334
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: the media today at a press conference. This, of course,

335
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: in the wake of the now twenty third civil lawsuit

336
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: filed against their quarterback DeShawn Watson, for whom they traded

337
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: a king's ransom and handed a two hundred and thirty

338
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: million dollars fully guaranteed contract. So coach Stefanski was asked

339
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: by the media today in Cleveland about his comfort level

340
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: with this latest development, another civil lawsuit, and Stefanski said,

341
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to let the legal process play out. I

342
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: think it goes back to the work we did before

343
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: we signed him to his monster contract. Either way, it's

344
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: not great press. I think we can all agree on that,

345
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: and it only picks at a scab that is not

346
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: going away anytime soon. There is a healthy contingent of

347
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: the Browns fan base that is not happy that he

348
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: is at Cleveland Brown. Now, if he starts going out

349
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 1: there and winning football games, probably a lot of that

350
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: melts away right, wrong or indifferent. But there are still

351
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: a lot of rivers to cross here with this story,

352
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: a lot of rivers left to cross. Yeah, it's gonna

353
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: It's bad. It's been bad from the beginning. It's distasteful

354
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: for everybody who has to talk about it, or thinks

355
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: about think about it, or hears about it. To see

356
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: a guy who is accused of the kind of behavior

357
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: he is accused of doing by so many different by

358
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: so many different people, and then to get rewarded for

359
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: it with a contract of this nature by a team

360
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: who is so desperate to win games they'll do it.

361
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: It's everything about it is distasteful. He got the as

362
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: big a contract as anybody in the league, and it's

363
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: all guaranteed, So even if all of this goes south

364
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: for him, he got rewarded for it. And it's it's sad. Watson,

365
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: through his attorney, vehemently denies the latest set of charges,

366
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: as he has all of the others. The woman who

367
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: filed this civil lawsuit, which mirrors the other twenty two,

368
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: said she felt compelled to file after watching the report

369
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: on HBO's Real Sports with Brian Gumbel. There was a

370
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: report a couple of weeks ago that aired on that

371
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: network that had comment from I believe a dozen of

372
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: the twenty two women that had initially filed suits. So

373
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: that was an investigative report that prompted this latest plaintiff

374
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: to action. So now up to twenty three and we'll

375
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: let the legal process play out there. On a much

376
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: more positive note, Texans head coach Lovey Smith opened his

377
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: Wednesday press conference with the announcement that Texans players came

378
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: together to raise two hundred thousand dollars for the Rob

379
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: School Memorial Fund. Obviously, that is the elementary school that

380
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: was demised by the eighteen year old shooter in Yuval Day,

381
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: Texas last week, that tragically saw nineteen students and two

382
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: teachers perish in a shooting rampage that rivaled some of

383
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: the worst this country has ever seen. Texans owner Kal

384
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: McNair matched the player's donation to bring the donation total

385
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: to four hundred thousand dollars from the Texans organization. So

386
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: good on them for trying to help some people that

387
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: are going through an unimaginable amount of grief right now

388
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: for a problem that continues to be an issue in

389
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: this country for god knows what reason, and we don't

390
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: need to go down that path. I think Steve and

391
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: I have kind of ye and stated the obvious thing.

392
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: If not for nothing, it's as we still wake up

393
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: every day and think about what happened on Jefferson Avenue

394
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: here in the city. The Choose love t shirts that

395
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: the Bills wore when they went down there, and the

396
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: the Bills have made and also the Buffalo Together Community

397
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Response Fund they've gained over They've raised over a million

398
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: dollars for the for the efforts here in Buffalo, you

399
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: can and those shirts are available the five fourteen Survivors

400
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: Fund and the Buffalo Together Community Response Fund, the Choose

00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: Love shirts right that you saw the players wearing, and

402

Speaker 1: these shirts to support the cause, first of all, thank you,

404
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: But second of all, they did want to communicate that

405
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: because of the overwhelming response that we often see from

406
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: Western New York and from Bills fans in general, that

407
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: they are doing their darnedist to get these shirts turned

408
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: around and out to those of you who have pledged

409
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: support to the funds that Steve mentioned or to the

410
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: causes that Steve mentioned. The funds, they are doing their

411
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: best to get them out to you as soon as possible.

412
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: There's just been such an overwhelming response from you know,

413
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: you find folks that have you stepped up to support

414
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo in its time of need, that they're doing their

415
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: darn just to get him turned around and out to you.

416
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: So you can not only support with your wallet or purse,

417
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: but you can also support by wearing these shirts and

418
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: spreading the message Choose Love. But good on you Bills

419
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: Mafia for helping to raise one million dollars in counting

420
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: through the Choose Love T shirt campaign. One other kind

421
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: of note that makes you feel good, The late John

422
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: Madden is going to grace the cover of the video

423
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: game that bears his name. EA Sports announcing that the

424
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three edition of Madden NFL game will feature

425
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame coach on the cover. And it's

426
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: a it's a much younger looking John Madden, who still

427
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: had the golden hair at the time, that's going to

428
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: be gracing the cover. And he's kind of like in

429
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: an action pose, and he's pointing his finger and you

430
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: almost expect him like you can't hear him. Obviously it's

431
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: a still photo. But I look at that photo and

432
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: I see him saying boo boo. He was the first, um,

433
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: I think, the first real celebrity personality guy who was

434
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: in the booth for television. They pulled him off the sidelines,

435
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: he got in and he just started being himself. He

436
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: applied an enormous amount of intelligence and technological innovation to

437
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: the broadcast booth. It was him that came up with

438
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: the tellustrator where you've seen and I used one when

439
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: I was in the booth where you can circle things

440
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: on the screen. He would draw your attention on the

441
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: screen to what he wanted you to look at too,

442
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: so he could explain the game, and of course he did.

443
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: He explained the game was such fun and and and

444
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: of the vocabulary that was basic and every day, and

445
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people loved it because they didn't understand

446
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: the difference between zone and man coverage and bump and

447
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 1: run and press man and all of the things than

448
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: the words and the bears front and all the things

449
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: that we used in football world. He made it accessible

450
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: for everybody, and we loved him for it. And his

451
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: humor and self deprecating nature was awesome for the game

452
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: and on his when he passed, we had this conversation

453
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one, because he only did when he

454
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: was in the booth. He only did a NFC games, right,

455
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: because that's the way the TV packages were set up then,

456
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: and he did right. He did a preseason game and

457
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: national game for US. We went to Green Bay and

458
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: we were playing against Green Bay in a preseason game,

459
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: and he saw us in the preseason game and put

460
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: me on his All Madden team in nineteen ninety one,

461
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: and they sent us this sweatshirt. Yeah. I don't want

462
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: to say anything about it, but I wore that sweatshirts

463
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: so much. I wore it out the hint. It was

464
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: an old one of those old heavy duty Champion sweatshirts

465
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: that was gray with the All Madden logo on the

466
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: whole thing. And and it's all frayed around the collar

467
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: and the cup. It's all ratty. I still had it.

468
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: And when he passed away, I put it under glass

469
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 1: and hung it on my wall. Cool and I just

470
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: did that like in the last you know, six months

471
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: since he passed. And that's the guy who's has a

472
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: legacy that's unbelievable. It's unmatched. You'd have to put him.

473
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to put him easily in the

474
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: top five, maybe even the top three, of ambassadors for

475
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: the game of football. He is right, he's gotta be run.

476
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: But this way he's the Jim Brown of him of

477
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: football ambassadors. Yeah, there's nobody that comes before one one

478
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: for certainly for the last two or three generations of

479
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: football fans, unquestionable want to do a disservice to the

480
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: history of the game. That oh there it is they

481
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: I forgot I sent you and you see it there

482
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: I wrote in the in the I didn't want anybody

483
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: to take my sweatshirt, so I wrote my name in

484
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: the collar of it and the right you can't see it.

485
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: But the thing is a mess. It's a wreck. The

486
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: collars all soiled and it could you can't get it clean.

487
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: And I wore that thing all the time. And uh, yeah,

488
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one is thirty. We're like walking around going

489
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: to Steve do laundry years ago. I want that. I'm

490
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: sure to how that. That's a long time. So that's cool. Um,

491
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: and that's hanging on my wall now and so cool.

492
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: A great idea I would. I don't think, you know,

493
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of off my radar now, but now that

494
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: he is going to be on the cover, man what

495
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: it's awesome. But yeah, I have to go out and buy.

496
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't even have a gaming system in my house,

497
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: so I'm yeah, if I buy it, it's strictly for

498
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: I keep saying, I keep saying. Yeah. Before we go

499
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: to break here, we do want to share with you

500
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: the topic of the day. We need you to weigh

501
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: in on this. In his press conference yesterday, Bill's wide

502
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: receiver Gabriel Davis said his new offensive coordinator, Ken Dorsey

503
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: wants to attack on every play. Now, I don't know

504
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: about you, but it gave me a little bit of

505
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: chicken skin when I heard that. So we want to

506
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: ask you, though, what is your interpretation of Gabriel Davis

507
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: saying Bill's offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey wants to attack on

508
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: every play. Let us know what your interpretation of Gabriel

509
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: Davis's statement is, either on the tweet sheet at one

510
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: Bills Live or give us a call eight oh three

511
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two

512
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: five fifty the number to call. We have open lines

513
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: for you when we're gonna get right to your phone

514
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: calls when we come back here on One Bill's Live,

515
00:31:45,640 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: presented by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

516
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: we're back here on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve

517
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: Tasker with you, and we are asking you at eight

518
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

519
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: two five fifty, what is your interpretation of Gabriel Davis's

520
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: comment yesterday in his press conference that Bills oc Ken

521
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: Dorsey wants to attack on every play. Obviously, it's something

522
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: that's open to interpretation because I mean you could interpret

523
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: it literally. But I think with the horses that Dorsey

524
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: has to run with, I think you'd be inclined to

525
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: want to attack on every play because you have the

526
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: capability of hurting an opponent each and every snap of

527
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: the football with seventeen throwing it and the guys that

528
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: he has to use, you know, running routes. I mean,

529
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: my god, you could make the argument they have an

530
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: even better are a more well rounded arsenal of weapons

531
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: this year than they had last year. They do even

532
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: even up front, they should be upgraded. Um. Saffold's gonna

533
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: help Kesson Berry, even if he's a backup, gives them

534
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: depth at a starting level. UM their run game year absolutely. Um.

535
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: And if you know, if Kesson Berry actually were to

536
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: get on the field and play right tackle in place

537
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: of Spencer Brown, well you got a starting right tackle

538
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: and Spencer Brown ready to come in as a sixth tackle,

539
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: as a sixth offensive lineman or right. So they've got

540
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: some guys up front even now. OJ Howard, I don't

541
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: and I every time I start talking about Oj Howard,

542
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: I start start thinking about training camp when people are

543
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: gonna get their eyes on this guy for the first time.

544
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: This guy, he's an athlete, he's he's a highly touted

545
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: top ten NFL pick. That means he's big, strong, and

546
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: really fast, really athletic. Uh and he's gonna add something

547
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: to this offense that's gonna be hard for them to

548
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: keep him. A guy like him, an athlete like him

549
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: off the field, struggle with injuries at Tampa Bay, and

550
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: then when Tom Brady came over and brought Gronkowski on,

551
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: Gronkowski goes to the top of the pecking order, and

552
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: because of his injuries and limited time on the field,

553
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: Oj Howard gets pushed to the side. He says, I'm

554
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: out so here he is in Buffalo, this kind of

555
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: guy that can make a difference along with Dawson Knox

556
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: who's taking a huge step forward, Jamison Crowder, Isaiah McKenzie,

557
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, and oh yeah, that guy, what's his name Diggs.

558
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of reason for optimism about

559
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: this offense that finished flying last season. So um, you know,

560
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: you know, you all talk, we all talk about the

561
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs game, and how good they looked in

562
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: the last You know that in that Chiefs game, the

563
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: last game you forget because it happened so fast, and

564
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: we were moving on to the same thing the game

565
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: just before that in Orchard Park in zero degree weather,

566
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: where the New England Patriots couldn't even force them to punt,

567
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: and they couldn't. Every time the Bills got the ball,

568
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: they scored a touchdown. Say it again, think about it.

569
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: Every single time they got the ball they scored a touchdown.

570
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: It was impossible for them to gain any more yardage

571
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: in that game than they did because every team they

572
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: got it, they went whatever length of the field it

573
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: was and got a touchdown. They were they were a

574
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: Formula one car down a long straight away. They were moving,

575
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: they could not be stopped, and they get And there

576
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: was the same story in Kansas City. And for the

577
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: reasons we just outlined, it looks like they're gonna be better,

578
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: more talented. Anyway, Yeah, it does give you chicken skin.

579
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: And you know, you say, well, what does attack on

580
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: every play mean? Obviously every play is different, every opponent

581
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: each week is different. So I think it's going to

582
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: change what the definition of attack on every play means

583
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: because obviously you may be more aggressive in certain down

584
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: and distant situations based on the matchup one week as

585
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: opposed to the next. So attack can take on many

586
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: different forms. That's why we're asking you, what is your

587
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: interpretation of Gabriel Davis saying that coach Dorsey wants to

588
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: attack on every play this coming season. Can let us

589
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: know at eight oh three five fifty one eight eight

590
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty or you can hit

591
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: us up on the tweet sheet at one bills live

592
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: for me, attack on every play is exciting to hear,

593
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: but I think it's going to take on many different variations.

594
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I think when they're playing a team

595
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: that just simply can not match up, they're not going

596
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: to care about balance, They're not gonna care about run

597
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: pass ratio, they're not gonna care about down in distance.

598
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: They're just gonna let it fly because they know our

599
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: guys are better than your guys. And with seventeen pulling

600
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: the trigger, sorry, we're just gonna go. And if you

601
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: can stop us, more power to you. But we don't

602
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: think he can't. Yeah, and I Ken Dorsey said somethings listen,

603
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: we're just trying to score one more point than our opponent.

604
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like what Gabe Davis said. And I

605
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: think Ken Dorsey is just sitting I think that head

606
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: to me as an offensive coordinator that's laying in the weeds,

607
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: because you've got all these players coming out there saying, Wow,

608
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: Dorsey's this fiery guy. We're gonna go. Let's get this

609
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: guy who did that on the sidelines. He's got a

610
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: lot of energy in a big voice about what they

611
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: need to be doing. So I think him standing up

612
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: there saying, where are you just trying to score one

613
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: more point than the other team? Yeah, that sounds like

614
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: Bologney to me. From what I'm hearing from his players.

615
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that if we're up on

616
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: if what we're up by twenty one, let's get up

617
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: by twenty eight and go for two, and go up

618
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine, and let's go up and do it again,

619
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: and let's rub their noses in it. That's, to me,

620
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: is what a quarterback and a guy like Ken Dorsey's

621
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: really thinking, particularly given what his players are saying about him.

622
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 1: It struck me when he said that in his press

623
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: conference of the day and what the players were saying

624
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: about him. That's, to me, just a guy that's trying

625
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: to temper his own feelings about what he wants to

626
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: do with this offense. I think he's got a real

627
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: set of I think he's got a real set of

628
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: expectations that would probably surpass all of ours. But I

629
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: don't think he wants to share him Oh no, I

630
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna keep it close to the vest until

631
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: it has to be revealed on the field. Why are

632
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: you gonna give anybody a head start on what it

633
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: is you want to do in terms of your opponents.

634
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he does. The interesting thing to me

635
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: is coach Dabele. While he certainly had scheme and concepts

636
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: and all of those things, his game plans began with

637
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: the matchups. He started there, and he crafted a game

638
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: plan based more on the matchups than their base stuff

639
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: and what they like to do. Let's look at the

640
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: matchups first. Now, how do we apply you are tried

641
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: and true things to these matchups? Which I don't think

642
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: it's uncommon, but I think he just prioritized it a

643
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: little bit differently. And you wonder if Dorsey follows in

644
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: the same vein in that regard and whether or not

645
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: that can still hold true while taking what his players

646
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: are calling an aggressive mindset to each and every snap

647
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: of the football. Yeah, when you run a play every

648
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: place designed to go for a touchdown, even on a

649
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: short yardage, you know you're designed to get it in there,

650
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,959
Speaker 1: and you know the other team's got some guys too,

651
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: but you're And when you get an offensive coordinator who

652
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: gets a play and here's all give an example. When

653
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: you get into a third and a third and short

654
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: and you think, okay, we're gonna try and pick up

655
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: this first down. Some offensive coordinators think of that as

656
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: now we're going for the touchdown. First down is irrelevant.

657
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: We're going for the touchdown right here. And you catch

658
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: the defense off guard, or you catch them in a

659
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: matchup they hadn't seen yet and you and you crush

660
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: them with it. That's what an offensive coordinator can do,

661
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: and sometimes as choices they make instead of just saying,

662
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna play it safe, you're gonna get

663
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: the first down. Hand this ball off to our big

664
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: fullback and he's gonna pound it in there. We're gonna

665
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: get the first down. Then come back a lot of offensive,

666
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: aggressive ones will say we're gonna make them think we're

667
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: doing that, we're going over the top, or we're gonna

668
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: come out and spread it out and we're gonna see

669
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: what you've got. They welcome those kind of challenges. And

670
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: let's not forget what Dorsey has witnessed here the last

671
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: three years. He witnessed his predecessor choosing to throw the

672
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: ball on first down more than any other team in

673
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: football in each of the last two years. So you

674
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: want to talk aggressive and attacking, they have been that already.

675
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: You can make the argument that Dorsey's just going to

676
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: continue it and may have a little different twist on

677
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: everything because he's Ken Dorsey, not Brian Dabel. So that's

678
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: why I think there is legitimacy to what Gabriel Davis

679
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: is saying. What that looks like is what we're all

680
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: wondering at this point in time because we simply haven't

681
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: seen it in action yet. And who's who we're gonna

682
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: notice that we haven't noticed before? You know, I mean,

683
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: is it going to be like a Jamison Crowder is

684
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna be Gabe Davis, is gonna be O. J. Howard

685
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: or James Cook? Or you know Devin Singletary, Dawson Knox,

686
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: one of the guys in Steph Diggs. It's amazing how

687
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: you and I have been sitting here talking about all

688
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: this stuff, and Steph Diggs has has been always an

689
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: ad on because all these new and talented players, Steph

690
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: Diggs is still a matchup problem. Yeah, you could argue

691
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis has become one as well. We have to

692
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: take a break here. When we come back, we'll get

693
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: to your phone calls. Tony and Lockport will lead us

694
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: off and then followed by others holding at eight oh

695
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: three five fifty. What is your interpretation of Gabriel Davis saying,

696
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: Bills oc Ken Dorsey wants to attack on every play.

697
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: Get you fired up? But what exactly does it mean

698
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: in your mind? You let us know on the tweet

699
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: sheet or on the phones. We'll talk to you NX

700
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Live, presented by Collot of Health,

701
00:42:45,760 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. What is your interpretation it Gabriel

702
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: Davis saying Bill's oc Ken Doorson wants to attack on

703
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: every play. We go to the phones to get answers

704
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 1: from you at eight oh three oh five fifty open

705
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: line for you there if you want to chime in yourself,

706
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: so feel free to do so. But in the meantime

707
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: we lead off with Tony in the lockport. Tony, what

708
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey,

709
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing today? I'm all right. I

710
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: enjoy your shaw Montly, I try to do. Steve, I

711
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: met you once when I was doing security work at

712
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: the stadium. Um. My interpretation is that the offense is

713
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: going to attack by way of everybody doing their job properly,

714
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: such as the offensive line opening them bulls up for

715
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: the runners, and then when the runners get the ball,

716
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: they go in and they run pulls steam ahead. Same

717
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: thing with the wide receivers. As long as they're open,

718
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: a don't will get it to them. There's no left

719
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: asi butts about that. And that's that's my interpretation of

720
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: the attack. Everybody knows their job, everybody's done their job.

721
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: Now it's time to open it up, give it a

722
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: little added oomp. So you don't necessarily see it as

723
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: being any more aggressive than it has been the last

724
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: couple of years. No, I do see it being a

725
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: little bit more aggressive. Oh you do Okay, that's that's

726
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: the oom. Yeah, all right, I see him hitting a

727
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: little harder. I see him, um, for example, opening them

728
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: lines up a little bit better on offense against the defenses,

729
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: giving them runners a chance to get up through there.

730
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: All right, that sounds good. Thanks for the call, Tony.

731
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: We appreciate it, Steve. That's where Aaron Krohmer is going

732
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: to come in the offensive line coach back for a

733
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: second stint, right, Yeah, it's yeah. And he's got a

734
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: different group of guys to coach. He's got a really

735
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: well rounded group. They're going to be deep at offensive line. Um,

736
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see too. I said this to

737
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: you yesterday, Brown, I don't aware we're practice or whatever.

738
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,919
Speaker 1: What's it gonna be like if this Buffalo Bills team

739
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: has a dominant offensive line. Now, they've been good since

740
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, when eighteen, maybe nineteen their offensive

741
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: line struggled. Eighteen was the bad year, right, Okay, So

742
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: then they got four new offensive linemen, all in free

743
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: agency and the draft, so they so they've been good

744
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: since two nineteen, and I think if this offense got

745
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: a dominant offensive line, they've got even better. They got

746
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: where they win matchups up front where they could set

747
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage where they were. You know, like

748
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: I say dominant to me, that changes everything right, well now, yeah,

749
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: because now they would be yeah, unstoppable. Yeah. What that

750
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: gives you is the ability to adapt to any situation

751
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: that comes your way. You know, you want, oh you

752
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: want to play two high safety so Davis and Davis

753
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: can't get you behind you. Well, here comes cook in singletary,

754
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: because we got a line that's gonna blow holes open

755
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: for them, and we'll just take it seven and eight

756
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: yards a crack and we'll beat you that way. You know, Oh,

757
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: you want to load up the box. Okay, single safety high,

758
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: thanks for coming. You know, here's you know, knocks on

759
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: a steam route away from the safety and then Diggs

760
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: is on the backside going for six. Yeah. And it's

761
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: and it's interesting too because all of this stuff we're

762
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: talking about is stuff we've seen him do at times.

763
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: And now that Josh has been in this offense for

764
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: so long, you've got a guy who's well versed in

765
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: this offense. And although it's his first year of calling

766
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: the plays, everything's set. I mean, these guys have got

767
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: this stuff under their belt and yeah, it's an ink. Yeah.

768
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: And with Josh being able to be that nimble saying okay,

769
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: if they're doing this, I know what I'm gonna do

770
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: this and being out ahead of it mentally with the

771
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: experience and the reps that he's gotten, it really looks good.

772
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: We'll see if if it transpires in the way that

773
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: you know you can envision, certainly it'll probably be it

774
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: won't be as rosy as we make it out to be,

775
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: and but in other times it might be. So. Yeah,

776
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: this is gonna be an offense centric team. I think

777
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the identity of this team. Every year

778
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: we say, you know what's it gonna be? In last

779
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: year we had the one number one defense and it's

780
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: an offensive centric that's scary. You know, they're they're a

781
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: I've been saying it for a fight. They're a tough out, Bro,

782
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a tough out. Yeah. Let's go back

783
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: to the phones and see what Mark in West Seneca

784
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: has to say about Gabe Davis's comment, Like yesterday, what

785
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: do you say, Mark, gentleman, is a season ready to start?

786
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: Or what? I can't even wait anymore? Yeah, listening to

787
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 1: you guys. Every day, I get a little more excited

788
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: every single day. Um, I have a comment about the

789
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 1: aggressiveness real quick, and then I have a question about

790
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,720
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Um. When I heard Gabe Davis talk,

791
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: and I don't think he was thinking this, but for

792
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: my my opinion, there were over the last couple of

793
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: seasons under Dave's there were a few times, not a lot,

794
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: but a few where I thought the offensive play calling

795
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: went a little conservative. And it never dawned on me

796
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: that may be because the untrained eye that he was

797
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of certain matchups. I could understand that,

798
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: and maybe that was why it looked that way a

799
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: little bit. But when I hear them say we're going

800
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: to attack all the time, that reminds me of the

801
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 1: old L. Davis quote when he was asked one time,

802
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 1: does your offense take what the defense is giving you?

803
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: And he responded with my offense takes what we want.

804
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: And I hope we thought that was so funny and

805
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: interesting that I think that maybe Doris is gonna be

806
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: a little bit more inclined to not worry so much

807
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: about matchups but really trust that across the board, as

808
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: guys are better than the other team and just go

809
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: at teams regardless of what matchups might be there certain situations. Yeah,

810
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: so that's the one thing I'm thinking about all that.

811
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: And then my question real quick is this guy that

812
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: they got from Tennessee that could be a third tackle

813
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. I really don't know a lot

814
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: about him. Has he ever played guard at all? Does

815
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: he have the ability? And does either him or Spencer

816
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: Brown with their physical makeups, do you guys think that

817
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: either one of them if they thought could kick inside

818
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: if they wanted to get both of them on the field.

819
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,280
Speaker 1: So that's my question about them. Thanks very much, Mark.

820
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: We'll take part one first. And it's interesting that you

821
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: bring up the fact that you had Al Davis talking about,

822
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, we take what we want, we don't take

823
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: what the defense gives us. There was a comment by

824
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: Dorsey yesterday in his press conference where he gave indication

825
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: that they want to be the type of offense that

826
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: dictates the opposing defense, whether it's tempo, whether it's play selection,

827
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: or whether it's matchup advantages. It's clear to me that

828
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: based on the statement that he gave yesterday, he believes

829
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: his offensive unit is capable of dictating play to the opponent,

830
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: not reacting to what the opponent is handing them. Naturally,

831
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: you take into account what the defense is giving you.

832
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: But I think they are going to certainly be instances

833
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: where they just say, the hell with it, this is

834
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: what we're running. Let's see if you can stop it.

835
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: You've got to be really talented and deep to go

836
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: at the teeth of a defense and just say, listen,

837
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna match up with you. We're better than you can.

838
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: You can know what's coming. We're gonna match up with

839
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: you and dominate you. It's rare in the NFL to

840
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: be able to do that because you know, it's good

841
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: players everywhere, and it's hard to win enough matchups offensively

842
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: to give you the advantage of going right at you know,

843
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: the flat route in a cover two or the you know,

844
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: we're going over the top in three deep safeties. Some

845
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: teams just say, you know, hey, we're gonna do that.

846
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: If you can be successful doing that, you strike fear

847
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: into your opponents before you ever take the field, because

848
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna watch film and see you doing that. They're

849
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: gonna be like, what will we do if they're gonna

850
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: if they're gonna run that route, the best coverage we

851
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: have is the cover three go three deep safeties will

852
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: keep the lid on it and we'll you know, we

853
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: won't let them get past us. And they're still throwing

854
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: it deep on a three deep safety. Look, you're sitting

855
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: there as a defensive cording, Well, this is what I

856
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: would call to defend a play like this, and they're

857
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: and they're getting touchdowns out of it. That's when you

858
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: got a problem. Yeah, But you know, every so often

859
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: a team's able to do it because they got they

860
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: got some horses. I don't want to go wild on

861
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: this limb say the Bills can do and but there

862
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: will be teams where the Bills can do that against

863
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: this year, there maybe there's a couple more, you know,

864
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: maybe that list grows a little longer because of the

865
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: fact that they got some speed all the way across

866
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: the table. They got a pass catching running back that

867
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: can line up outside, you know, all these all that

868
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: stuff we've talked about, digs, you know, Davis McKenzie, Crowder,

869
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. Um, but that's what you're talking about.

870
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: And if a offensive coordinator truly believes he can do that,

871
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: to a defense. Yeah, word gets around quick because then

872
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: if you're a problem, if it's particularly if you got

873
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback who's actually making it work and you and

874
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: your team's winning games and doing that, that's a big

875
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: statement because usually you know, you line up and when

876
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 1: they when the ball is snapping, the defense retreats out.

877
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: They kind of they're giving you certain things. There are

878
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: certain areas of the field that are thin with defenders,

879
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: and those are the typically where you attack. But like

880
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: I said, I if your offense doesn't care and you're

881
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: calling the play that should be defended by those guys

882
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: and you're throwing it and being successful anyway because your

883
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: guys are just better. Yeah, that's that's rare in the NFL,

884
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: but there it could happen for the Bills this season.

885
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: A couple of places to quickly answer Mark's question that

886
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: he had, Kessenberry does have experience at guard, albeit not

887
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount. He is tall, I mean he is

888
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: six five, but he can certainly kick inside to guard

889
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: if need be. Spencer Brown might have a little tougher

890
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,720
Speaker 1: time just because of his six eight height, leverage and whatnot,

891
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: with lower sturdier girthier type interior defensive players. That might

892
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: be a tough ask, but Kessenberry has done it, and

893
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: you know right now he's he's getting a look. So

894
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll have to see where it all shakes out,

895
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 1: because as we know, Spencer Brown is not participating. Coach

896
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: McDermott said last week he's working through an offseason deal

897
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: that he had to have done, so he's not on

898
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: the field just yet. I'm sure he will be in

899
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: due course, but for now, guys like cass and Berry

900
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: and others are kind of spelling some of the guys

901
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: that aren't out there right now. So yeah, we'll just

902
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: have to see how it all shakes out. But yes,

903
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: he does have experience at guard. We have to take

904
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: a break here. Dave and Rochester will lead us off

905
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: at eight O three oh five fifty in the next

906
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: segment when we come back from break and others holding

907
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 1: at eight O three five fifty. What's your interpretation it

908
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: gave Davis's statement about oc Ken Dorsey that he wants

909
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: to attack on every play. It gets too excited. But

910
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: when you stop and think about it, what does it

911
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: mean to you? Let us know as we continue with

912
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: your phone calls next here on one Bill's line presented

913
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a

914
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: Steve Taster who has been all over the field unique

915
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: he was kind of a dual role player for you

916
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: save a blimp. We're not even in the strated fear

917
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: of normalcy here, Ah or number two underway Chris Brown,

918
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you talking about Gabe Davis on his

919
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator, Ken Dorsey saying yesterday in his press

920
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: conference that coach Dorsey wants to attack on every single play.

921
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: What is your interpretation of that comment. Some people might

922
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: take it quite literally. Some people might think, like me

923
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: I was saying last segment, I believe in Dorsey's mind

924
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: he wants to dictate play to the opponent rather than

925
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: be reactive, you know, to the kind of coverage he's

926
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: getting or the scheme he's facing. I think he'll take

927
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,479
Speaker 1: it all into account, of course, and try to call

928
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: the kinds of plays that will work best against those teams.

929
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: But I think at the same time, there might be

930
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: some plays where he just throws caution to the wind

931
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 1: because of the confidence that he has in his guys

932
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: and his belief that his guys are better than their guys,

933
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: and he will be aggressive as a result. I'm not

934
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna be reckless, but I think he'll be

935
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: eager to dictate to an opponent and put them away

936
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: early and often if possible. But let's go to the

937
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: phones to see what you think. Open line for you

938
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: at eight oh three five fifty one fifty two five

939
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: fifty and we lead off as promised with Dave and Rochester.

940
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Davia on One Bill's Life?

941
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how are you doing you guys? As far

942
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: as a question about Dorsey, I agree with what you said, Chris.

943
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: I think our guys that are going to be just

944
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 1: matchup nightmares and I I really hope to see a

945
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: lot of O. J. Howard this year. I think I

946
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: think we can get the best out of them, which

947
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of brings me to my question. I know, like

948
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: Steve and you guys are around the guys a lot,

949
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: do you ever get questions about the k gun offense

950
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: and how do maybe possibly implement it into our offense? Yeah?

951
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's interesting you say that, Dave, because I

952
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: do know when Brian Dable first got here, he spent

953
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: some time in the off season, you know, probably around

954
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: February March with Jim. Jim would come in and they'd

955
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: talk ball. And you have to believe that Dabel had

956
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: a ready set of questions about the K gun scheme

957
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: because he watched it here. Yeah, he went to Saint

958
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: Francis High School. He was watching those teams, right, So

959
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:54,479
Speaker 1: I know Dabel discussed it with Kelly in previous years.

960
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: We could sit here and talk K gun for a while.

961
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know if anybody wants to do it.

962
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I was a part. I was in

963
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: those meetings all the time when they when that thing

964
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: got evolved into what it is. We called the K

965
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: gun because of the personnel on the field. It was

966
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: k was mckeller, Keith mckeller, Killers what we called him.

967
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: So Killer was on the field and we went three

968
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: wides with one back and Killer has some speed. Uh,

969
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: Keith could run. So they put him on the field

970
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: in place of Pete metz Lars, who's yeah, close friend

971
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: of mine and so's Killer. But Pete was a guy

972
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,439
Speaker 1: they took off and put Killer on as a receiving threat. Yeah,

973
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: and so there's a bunch of aspects. Obviously, it's nothing.

974
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: There's no like this simple. It's it's not just as

975
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: simple to say, hey, let's just do this k There's

976
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: a lot of things that went into it. The speed

977
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: with which we ran a play every sixteen seconds the

978
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: play the ball was getting snapped forget about game time

979
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: where the clock was stopped or not. The play was

980
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: getting runned in sixteen seconds. The reason you could run

981
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: it that fast because your term anology was minimal. Right,

982
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: we had a static set. We didn't do motions or sets.

983
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: We just lined up and then you talk about motions

984
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: kind of important now, right, but you talk about having

985
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,479
Speaker 1: guys that could dictate if you're not even gonna motion,

986
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: you don't care what defense defense they're running. Yeah, we

987
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: didn't really care. They were just going. It's like and

988
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: they lined up, we'd line up and let's go and right.

989
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: So that was and Thurman Thomas and Jim Keller in

990
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: the back. Right. You got two Hall of famers in

991
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: the backfield and a couple of guys that played at

992
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: a Hall of fame level in the offensive line, and

993
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: two Hall of famers at receiver right two, So you

994
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: had four hall of famers running that offense. Okay, so

995
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: start start there um, and then they ran to play

996
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: every sixteen seconds, and it was ridiculous. And now here's

997
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: the crucial element, and this is what what was critical

998
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: for defenses and even for that team. Once we got

999
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: about four plays into a drive and started going that fast,

1000
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: the pass rush evaporated, right because they were they were gassed.

1001
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Because that fact, you know, it's one thing to run

1002
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,439
Speaker 1: a play then have thirty full seconds of the play

1003
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: clock to get rest and you know, and get ready

1004
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: and get down, talk call play, but to run a

1005
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: play line up, run a play line up, run a

1006
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: play lineup for big guys up front pass rushers, they're

1007
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: gassed and they just started leaning on the offensive line.

1008
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: So the pass protection became a given if you could

1009
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: get that first down and one or two plays into

1010
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: second down on that second you know, depending on when

1011
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: you got it four plays in, get to play four

1012
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: or five and you're getting yeah, you get four or

1013
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: five plays. And then there were other times when you know,

1014
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: you're three plays and it's a touchdown. That kind of thing,

1015
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: because that's the hall of famers on the outside and

1016
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: the one in the backfield, two in the backfield. So um,

1017
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: when you run those plays that fast that became critical

1018
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: for the offense to stay on the field differences may

1019
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: and statistically, if you can get a seven play drive,

1020
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: whether you score on it or not, you switch enough

1021
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: field position to make the other team go the long

1022
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: way and it gives yourself an advantage. And we knew

1023
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: that going in, so we had those those those analytics.

1024
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Even at that time, seven plays was kind of a

1025
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:18,959
Speaker 1: magic number unless you scored. Yeah, And I would also

1026
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: imagine even if you scored quickly, there was still a

1027
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: cumulative effect of going that fast opponent the lad in

1028
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: the game, plus where you could just pound Thurman and

1029
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: there was a lot there was a lot of intangible

1030
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: benefit too. You score, they come out, they punt, they

1031
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: kick a feel where you can out score real quick. Again,

1032
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're down fourteen three with the

1033
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: ball in their end, you know, and they're like okay,

1034
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: you know. Then they start to tighten up and they

1035
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: start to you know, try to call their plays a

1036
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: little more aggressively. Um, you start to affect them and

1037
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: their play calling them and their point of the game.

1038
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,439
Speaker 1: So all of that was in there. We got into

1039
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: the fifty one to three game, the famous game like

1040
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: that about the K Gun. The Raiders believe they had

1041
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: the horses to beat us defensively. They were gonna play

1042
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,439
Speaker 1: man to man physical coverage and stick with Andrea, stick

1043
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: with James Lofton, and they had the speed in the

1044
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: secondary to keep a lid on Beabs and Thurman would

1045
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: be you know, Thurman in the offensive line would be

1046
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: taken care of by the front seven. They could play

1047
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: man coverage and have the extra guy in the box

1048
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 1: to stop the run game all that stuff. And they

1049
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: and they knew once we lined up, we weren't moving

1050
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: and they counted on that and they thought, okay, let's go.

1051
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: Well we got first down, first down, first down, started

1052
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: using Thurman was killing them right off the right off

1053
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: the get go, you know, and we just ran off

1054
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:42,479
Speaker 1: and left them. They couldn't stop us, and they didn't

1055
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: have a plan B. So they just a good one. Yeah,

1056
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: and they just had to They just kind of had to,

1057
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, live with it. So, yeah, the K gun

1058
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: is easy, but there are critical elements about it that

1059
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:55,919
Speaker 1: not every team and and that don't work the same

1060
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: way in today's game as they did then. So you

1061
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 1: gotta be you gotta be ready for that. So I

1062
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: already explained that my interpretation of Gabe Davis's comment as

1063
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,919
Speaker 1: coach Dorsey wants to really be aggressive in dictating play

1064
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: to the opponent, not necessarily reacting to certain coverages and stuff.

1065
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 1: This is what we run. We have different variations, even

1066
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: though we might call it the same thing. We're able

1067
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: to keep defenses off balance. We're going to dictate to

1068
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: two opponents more often than not week to week to

1069
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: week to week. What is your interpretation of Gabe statement,

1070
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a bucket of water on this. No, boy,

1071
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: it is may as June first, Yeah, it's June first.

1072
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: This and he said it at the beginning of his

1073
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: press conversations because this is the fun time of year. Man.

1074
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: You can be creative. You get all the stuff going,

1075
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: your fermentation, fermentation and all that you want to be right.

1076
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,439
Speaker 1: And this is the kind of year when these coaches go, hey, guys,

1077
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're never gonna take our foot off the

1078
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: guess we're gonna do And the players love it because

1079
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: it gets him enthused about it gives him some energy

1080
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 1: level and all that. Let me tell you something, it's different,

1081
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: and Dorsey will probably realize this, but he's never experienced

1082
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: it as a coordinator on the sidelines. And you start

1083
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: calling this and you get in like, well, listen, might

1084
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: behoove us now not to score so fast with you know,

1085
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: and give them another Yeah, let's you know what, let's

1086
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: just get a first down here and make sure that

1087
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: we go into the half without them having the ball

1088
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: back kind of thing. That. Or you're in there and

1089
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: you're saying, let's go, let's go, let's go, and your

1090
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: head coach is going, hey, bro, call them down a

1091
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: little bit. We got this, We need our defense needs

1092
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: a break, We need to talk about some things. Let's

1093
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: I want to run it here, and the head coach

1094
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: just chimes in says, listening, I want to run it

1095
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: here and the off and the coordinator is gonna okay, coach.

1096
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things that happened during a

1097
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: regular season that force you into a different mindset because

1098
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: it makes good sense in the game you're playing to

1099
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: sit here in June and say, we are never taking

1100
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: our foot off the gas. We are gonna compete. We're

1101
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna beat teams ninety to nothing. If they can't stop us,

1102
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: forget it. No, no, mercy and you know, let's go

1103
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: and the players at this time. You need to hear

1104
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: that because it gets him enthused to come, you know,

1105
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: to an Ota when it's June first, and to be enthused.

1106
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying that Dorsey doesn't have that mindset

1107
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: right now. I'm just saying that when the game kicks off,

1108
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: other things and analytics and all those things that getting

1109
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: mired in with it tell me that, yeah, they'll do

1110
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: that when they can. But there's also it's gonna be

1111
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: tempered with some solid game plan decisions that say, you

1112
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: know what, in here, we're gonna run this ball right here,

1113
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a good run out of it, even

1114
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: if we don't get a touchdown instead of going over

1115
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: the top. That those kind of things are going to happen.

1116
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's just coach speak and and

1117
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: he's just proud and his players a little bit here

1118
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: in June, because I really think that's a kind of

1119
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator he wants to be. We've all been around

1120
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: this game too long to think we're gonna be the

1121
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: first team that's ever thought we were gonna score ninety

1122
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: points a game in June. There are a good number

1123
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: of variables that will inevitably come into play that will

1124
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: impact plans. But I thought Dorsey was even pretty candid

1125
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 1: about that part of it too. He's seen seasons morph

1126
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: and change because of certain circumstances, whether it's the opponent

1127
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: you're playing, something's not working and you've got to shift

1128
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: to another area of focus with your offensive approach, whatever

1129
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 1: the case might be. He said, you know, you're really

1130
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: not going to get a true feel until about week

1131
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: two or three, because you're going to get a taste

1132
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: for how defenses are going to play at number one,

1133
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: and you're going to get a better sense of how

1134
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: your guys perform when the real bullets are flying and

1135
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: maybe the stuff does hit the fan. How do these

1136
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: guys respond? And I think he has a pretty good

1137
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: handle on most of the guys on his roster because

1138
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: he's seen him for the last three years. But for

1139
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 1: the new guys, you're still figuring that out with them

1140
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: and what they can handle, what they can handle. Hey,

1141
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: if we have to make an adjustment from one series

1142
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: to the next, is this guy capable of handling it

1143
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: or do I have to go trust something someone else?

1144
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: And how does that change? My play calls because I

1145
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: have this guy on the field instead of the rookie

1146
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: that may not quite have it yet. That's right. And

1147
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: Dorsey has seen most all these guys, you know, Digs,

1148
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. He knows those guys, Isaiah McKenzie, Devin Singletary.

1149
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: He knows those guys as well as any coach knows

1150
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: their players. But you know, you mix in and O. J. Howard,

1151
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 1: you mix in a Jamison Crowder, and you mix into

1152
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: James Cook, guys who show on practice, in practice and

1153
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 1: with their abilities their potential to contribute in a big

1154
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 1: way if you need them. Well, now the project becomes Okay,

1155
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: let's teach these new guys the offense. Let's see where

1156
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: their skill set is in comparison with the guys we have.

1157
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: And then let's see okay, well, now who we're playing

1158
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: this week? Okay, well this you know what if this

1159
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: team is not so good in this area, so this

1160
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: is the guy. It's just what you said. I think

1161
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: now he does want to set his philosophy. He wants

1162
01:07:58,320 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: to get his guys in throughs and say, listen, we're

1163
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna gonna hold We're not We're gonna keep our foot

1164
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: on the gas and all us. But you know what,

1165
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: um oj can I ask you to see? Can you

1166
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: run this route? Let's see? Yeah, um yeah, that's pretty good.

1167
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: I like that. What about this? Oh yeah, that's pretty

1168
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,919
Speaker 1: good too. Crowder, what about you can you Oh yeah, wow,

1169
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: you can do that too. They just gotta they got

1170
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: so much they don't know about their new players and

1171
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: what they're gonna be capable of doing. I think that's

1172
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: where a lot that's the secondary mission of these OTAs

1173
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: and training camp and all the installations. They want to

1174
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: find out the skill sets they've got as much as

1175
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: just saying, hey, we're gonna we're gonna kill people this year,

1176
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: but by just throwing it with your a bucket of

1177
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 1: cold water treatment. I was reminded of something that was

1178
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 1: one said by another first time offensive coordinator for the

1179
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Bills around this time of the year. It might have

1180
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: even been as late as training camp. Nathaniel Hackett, who

1181
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 1: is now the head coach of the Denver Broncos, once

1182
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: said in a preseason press conference, We're gonna run CJ.

1183
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: Spiller until his tongue is hanging out. I remember that

1184
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: that didn't come to fruition due mainly to the fact

1185
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 1: that Spiller was injury riddled that season, and I think

1186
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: his season was over by week seven or eight because

1187
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 1: he landed on his shoulder awkwardly and busted his collar

1188
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: bone and he was done for the rest of the year.

1189
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: But I think it does serve as an example that

1190
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 1: the best laid plans in June and July can be

1191
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: blown up as soon as mid September because of all

1192
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: the varials ray variables that do come into play with

1193
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: this crazy game we call football. So and there's a

1194
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: lot in it. I mean that's it's complicated, but the

1195
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 1: amount of items on there to do list is a coordinator,

1196
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: particularly a first year coordinator with new faces that you

1197
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: really want to contribute. I think it's an immense to

1198
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: do list and they're just scratching the service. But the

1199
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: attitude's got to be there. And now I'm just remembering

1200
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: I had the quote wrong. Nathaniel Hackett said we're gonna

1201
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,600
Speaker 1: run CJ until he throws up. That's what he said,

1202
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: not his tongue hanging at he throws up. Okay, I

1203
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: don't know that I need to make needed to make

1204
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 1: that clarification, but I wanted to be accurate yeah, so

1205
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: I think that just serves as a lesson that you

1206
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: have to be adaptable. But I think again, the Bills

1207
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: have an advantage there because there are so many tools

1208
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 1: in the toolbox for Ken Dorsey to pull out and

1209
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: make use of that. Even when maybe the initial plan

1210
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: is not working as effectively as initially hoped, they do

1211
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: have enough tools on the tool belt to pivot and

1212
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,599
Speaker 1: use something else with as much, if not even more

1213
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: effectiveness in a given game and a given situation, whether

1214
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: they have to turn the course of a game or

1215
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: put a game away. Right, certainly, it seems on the

1216
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: surface they're gonna have the tools to do anything they want. Um,

1217
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I'm We're getting a lot

1218
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,560
Speaker 1: of response on our you know, what's your interpretation of

1219
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis saying this about Ken Dorsey wanting to attack

1220
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: on every play. We're getting a lot of response and

1221
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: some of them are like, you know what, I don't care,

1222
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: just let's kick it off. I want to see these guys. Yeah,

1223
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 1: I'm kind of in that boat today. There's so much

1224
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: well you just heard our call or Mark from Rochester's

1225
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: like I can't wait for the season. It's like it's

1226
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: ninety nine days away, but you're gonna have to take

1227
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 1: a breath. But it's only it's only like sixty days

1228
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: from training camp. Yeah, so that's something to hang your

1229
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: hat on as well. We'll see, but you know, June first, Um, yeah,

1230
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: it's about it's about two months July for we're thinking

1231
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: July first, Just July probably like twenty third is probably

1232
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: the first practice maybe, yeah, because of the Thursday night game,

1233
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: because you started thirty season starts gonna last week of

1234
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 1: July when we're going, so we're less than eight weeks

1235
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: eight weeks away. Yeah, we will take a break here

1236
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: because when we come back, we want to crack open

1237
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. We want to get your thoughts that

1238
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: you sent us at one Bills Live in terms of

1239
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 1: your interpretation of Gabriel Davis saying Bills OC Ken Dorsey

1240
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: wants to attack on every play. We're gonna get your

1241
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: thoughts on how you believe Gabe Davis feels about his

1242
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: new OC and what it means for the offense as

1243
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: a whole. Next here on one Bills Live, presented by

1244
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, it's tweet

1245
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: sheet time, which, as we know, is brought to you

1246
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official women moving company of

1247
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. As we seek out your interpretations of

1248
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: the Gabriel Davis comment that Bills oc Ken Dorsey wants

1249
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: to attack on every play based on what he's seen

1250
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 1: in the classroom and on the practice field thus far

1251
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: this spring, Tom on the tweet sheet says, I would

1252
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:26,759
Speaker 1: say large chunk yardage plays twenty yards or more while

1253
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: in a hurry up offense. You know, we've talked about

1254
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: K gun in this it's a cake. They haven't run

1255
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: the K gun in thirty years and people still infatuated

1256
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: with it that they haven't really run the run and

1257
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: shoot either, And right, that's right. It is so it

1258
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: was so fun to watch and it was so striking

1259
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: and different than anything the NFL had seen at the time,

1260
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: and it still is because you know, teams do it

1261
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 1: at the end of the game and all, but to

1262
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: run it as part of your strategy just isn't done

1263
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: anymore because you know it's it has its problems as

1264
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: its limitation. Yeah, I would say this. I don't think

1265
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:11,679
Speaker 1: it's a weekly approach, but I could see it being

1266
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: an approach in a given week, Not sure the whole game,

1267
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: but maybe for a half, maybe for a quarter, maybe

1268
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 1: for three series, maybe just for three plays within a series.

1269
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:23,600
Speaker 1: How many times did we see Brian Dable change the

1270
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,640
Speaker 1: tempo in the scope of a series, they get a

1271
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 1: big twenty yard play, they all run up to the

1272
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, snap it quick, another play, go, you know,

1273
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: And there were times they caught the defense off balance.

1274
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 1: There were times they caught the defense in a bad

1275
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 1: personnel grouping and Davie said, screw it, here's the next play.

1276
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: Run it as soon as you get up to the line.

1277
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: One of the reasons they don't do the tempo like

1278
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 1: they did was if you go in, if you're a

1279
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: static offense. And one of the reasons that was successful

1280
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:52,520
Speaker 1: back in the day was that no matter what personnel

1281
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 1: grouping they put on, we felt like we had a

1282
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: matchup we could win. It may not be that easy

1283
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: these days. Yeah, because he got faster waller linebackers coverage

1284
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: in in an offense that's as talented as some are today,

1285
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 1: like the Kansas City Gain team with you know, with

1286
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: with Kelsey and Tree, they can they can do that.

1287
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 1: They go out there in a static for me. But

1288
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: even they didn't do it, but you could get you

1289
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 1: could see where you'd match up with the team so

1290
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:22,440
Speaker 1: good you didn't want them to have the chance to substitute,

1291
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 1: so you snapped it again quick and snapped it again quick.

1292
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: So once you get them out there in a matchup

1293
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 1: that they can't win, you exploit it with tempo so

1294
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 1: that they can't run guys on an offense and get

1295
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: a different matchup or more favorable matchup. That's the strategy

1296
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: behind it, the reason it worked back in the days

1297
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: because like we said, we had four Hall of Fame

1298
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:46,799
Speaker 1: guys at skilled positions in that offense. That's tough matchup

1299
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: for most defenses. Um, it's hard to do that these days.

1300
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: It's hard and you know, so there you go, that's

1301
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:58,759
Speaker 1: hurry up is okay, But you can't because of those issues.

1302
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to run it as a regular staple in

1303
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: your offense. Jack on the tweet, she says, I expect

1304
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,879
Speaker 1: it to be aggressive and high tempo. I think Dorsey

1305
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: trusts Alan with his judgment on the field and in

1306
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: the huddle, so I expect a lot of passing and

1307
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: even more shots down field, not saying we won't run

1308
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: the ball, but I bet we may see even more

1309
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 1: ten and zero one personnel this year. So ten personnel

1310
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:30,440
Speaker 1: is one back, four wides. Zero one personnel is obviously

1311
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 1: no no backs, and one tight end with four wides,

1312
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 1: which is essentially an empty backfield with a tight end. Yeah. Yeah,

1313
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: with guys with athletes like Crowder and McKenzie and even

1314
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: Knocks or O. J. Howard, you can line them up.

1315
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: You can line these guys just because their wide receivers

1316
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 1: doesn't mean have to line up split out every single play.

1317
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: You can start them out on the backfield mackenzie. Do

1318
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: that list, and then you force the defense to declare

1319
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 1: what are they going to think of that guy, particularly

1320
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: if there's no other running back to declare at. You

1321
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: force a defense into telling you something about their their

1322
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: philosophy for that game. If you put a guy back there,

1323
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:10,720
Speaker 1: is whoever's back there going to be the running back?

1324
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: So what if you know on first down you put

1325
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie back in the backfield, and then in the

1326
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,680
Speaker 1: second down, it's the same group of personnel, but it's

1327
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:22,640
Speaker 1: not ISAA McKenzie back there, it's Dawson Knox or O. J.

1328
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: Howard what's your designation? Then does it change? And whatever

1329
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 1: that tells, you know, the offensive coordinator about the defense's

1330
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: ability to cover it, you know, then they can start

1331
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: discerning a game plan in between series or in the

1332
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: even on the next play. So it's it's interesting the

1333
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: experimentation that happens in game for defense as an offensive

1334
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 1: defensive and offensive coordinators to get inside the mind of

1335
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: their their their counterpart to find out what they're thinking.

1336
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:57,919
Speaker 1: Joe on the tweet sheet says, attack every angle, exploit

1337
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: every team's weakness against us while attacking their strengths to

1338
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 1: make them rethink themselves, let alone make them remember the

1339
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 1: day they played the Buffalo Bills. Isn't the confidence intoxicating

1340
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: from the Bills fan base? They're just, oh my gosh,

1341
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: they're going to know they're breaking hearts and crushing souls.

1342
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 1: On June first, tv on the tweet sheet says, what

1343
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: are the chances you guys think we would run a

1344
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: no huddle type offense with a fast paced tempo. We

1345
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of addressed that already, meld our modern offense with

1346
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 1: what we saw during the Super Bowl run of the nineties.

1347
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:34,680
Speaker 1: Curious on your thoughts. I think we said there are

1348
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: limitations to it, and because of that, it's not something

1349
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 1: they would run full time. Maybe it's run for a series,

1350
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 1: maybe it's mixed in and out of a series. When

1351
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 1: you feel like you've got horses, which this team has

1352
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,640
Speaker 1: got to feel like, yeah, there's really no need to

1353
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 1: go fast because no matter who they put out there,

1354
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: you got them. Yeah, if you feel like you've got them,

1355
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: you got Higgs, Knox, Howard, Mackenzie, Crowder, Davis, all of

1356
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: the above. So whatever you put out there, you're going

1357
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: to be able to find a matchup with shifts, motions

1358
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: and with check with check packages, adjustment packages by the defense,

1359
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to discern where your matchup is.

1360
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 1: So there's really no need to go fast to exploit

1361
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:27,600
Speaker 1: a matchup you've got. You can dictate matchups with motions,

1362
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: personnel and right. Yeah, And I think that's an important

1363
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,800
Speaker 1: point to make too. Where the game has changed, especially

1364
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: from the nineties offense that you played in to the

1365
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: one the Bills are running now, is as you pointed out,

1366
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: your offense went fast, but with static pre snap motions

1367
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 1: and shifts and alignment changes are so critical to the

1368
01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 1: deception game. Pre snap nowadays, I don't know that you

1369
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 1: could be static and have any degree of success. You

1370
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: need to move your offensive pieces pre snap to get

1371
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: the defense to declare what they're in. It's a tell

1372
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 1: for your quarterback so he knows where he's going with

1373
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: the football before the balls even snapped. In many cases

1374
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: from Steve on the tweet sheet. In my interpretation, I

1375
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 1: just feel like with the personnel we have this year,

1376
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 1: that the Bills can line up in any formation or

1377
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: package at any time in a game and punch a

1378
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 1: defense in the mouth and hit a home run. Defenses

1379
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,879
Speaker 1: will never be able to relax or take a playoff.

1380
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 1: I think to a certain extent that is true. You're

1381
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: not going to completely outperform and outsmart and opposing defense

1382
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:47,560
Speaker 1: in this league every single week. There are going to

1383
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 1: be weeks where some teams are gonna make it tough

1384
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:51,719
Speaker 1: on you, and there are going to be some weeks

1385
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: where your execution isn't airtight and you struggle. This league

1386
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: is too good for teams. That's why there's only been

1387
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 1: one undefeated team in the history of the game. It

1388
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: was fifty years ago. Yeah, there's a reason, because the

1389
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: level of competition is so good in this league that

1390
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: some weeks, teams that on paper may not measure up

1391
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: to your personnel may beat you just because they have

1392
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: a better day than you do or a better plan

1393
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:24,680
Speaker 1: than you do. Right that, you're right, it's you we do.

1394
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 1: There is every reason to expect this offense of the

1395
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills will be good enough and talented enough that

1396
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: you'll get a lot of this during your regular season world.

1397
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 1: They'll ask what they gotta do and what they gotta

1398
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 1: do to beat the Patriots, What are they got to

1399
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: do to beat the Jets, the Dolphins, what are they

1400
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:40,679
Speaker 1: got to do to beat the Rams and all these teams?

1401
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,679
Speaker 1: And you're gonna get a lot of answers like this, Well,

1402
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 1: it's about us. If we execute, we're gonna wine. You're

1403
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of those answers to questions. And

1404
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: because they'll believe it, if this offense executes the game

1405
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 1: plans and goes out and plays as good as it

1406
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: can play, they're gonna win the game. And defensively as well,

1407
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 1: you get a lot of that because they're gonna know

1408
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna have the talent to outrun, out, jump, out, catch, out, block,

1409
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: and out tackle other teams. But they got to do

1410
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 1: it every week, and that's you're gonna get a lot

1411
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: of that, I think, because this is going to be

1412
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: a team that is going to feel like if they execute,

1413
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: they're not going to get beat on a given Sunday.

1414
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 1: Here's an interesting interpretation of Gabriel Davis's comment that Ken

1415
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,759
Speaker 1: Dorsey wants to attack on every play comes from Bill's

1416
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: backwards of Northwest Arkansas Pig suwey, attack weaknesses, matchups, not

1417
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: run the ball up the middle just to run the ball. Speed,

1418
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: high tempo plays. Always go for the score, even if

1419
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: up Now obviously attacking weaknesses and matchup advantages are obvious.

1420
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 1: Not running the ball up the middle just to run

1421
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 1: the ball. The Bills didn't do that under Gable either.

1422
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 1: That's why they threw the ball so darn much on

1423
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: first down more than anybody in the league. They said,

1424
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: we're not getting the production we want out of our

1425
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 1: run game on first down, the hell with it. We're

1426
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: just gonna throw the ball because we're better doing that. Yeah,

1427
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 1: more of what we do well, less of what we're

1428
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: not doing so well. Only handed off, mostly to prove

1429
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: that we will if we want to. But you've got

1430
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback that is so supremely gifted. You've got a

1431
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: wide receiving group of group of skill athletes that are

1432
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: phenomenally productive and enough speed on the field to put

1433
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 1: pressure on a defense on every down. So it's hard

1434
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: to move away from that and hand it off and

1435
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: watch a guy run four yards and call it a success,

1436
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: which is what it would be if you were to

1437
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: get a four yard game. Yeah, it's hard as an

1438
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator to settle for that, and fans don't want

1439
01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 1: to see it either, But you know, analytics and all

1440
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: that stuff will tell you once in a while you

1441
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: need to prove that you'll hand it off. Amy on

1442
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet says, I think between the guys they

1443
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 1: have on both sides of the ball and the way

1444
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: things have ended the past two years, they want to

1445
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,600
Speaker 1: walk into every game with a leave no doubt attitude

1446
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: and just crush every team's soul. There you go, there's

1447
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,640
Speaker 1: a soul crushing statement. Well, I do think there is

1448
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 1: something to be said about walking on the field with confidence.

1449
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 1: I think this team will unquestionably have that. And I

1450
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: know you've spoken many times about how you guys would

1451
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: come down the tunnel knowing you were going to win

1452
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: that day, like just supremely confident, like we're winning, Marv

1453
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 1: had is saying, he said, confident morale. Your morale is

1454
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 1: good when you walk out on the field every Sunday

1455
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna win the game, but the other

1456
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:54,760
Speaker 1: team knows it too. That's when you're right, Marv. There's

1457
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of optimism in this tweet sheet that we

1458
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: just read, and we and we pump it up too,

1459
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 1: because you and I are both very optimistic about this

1460
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 1: offense and what it's going to look like. And most

1461
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: of it hinges on the way Josh has played, not

1462
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: only in the regular season but in the playoffs. The

1463
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 1: guy was getting it done at a high level. He

1464
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: was he was playing unbelievably well at the end of

1465
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 1: last season, and he seemed to be getting better. And

1466
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:21,640
Speaker 1: we'll see if that continue. We'll see if this We

1467
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 1: have every reason to believe it's going to continue this

1468
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: regular season. So this tweet sheet and all this question

1469
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: marks and all the you know, the conversation we're having

1470
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: is centered around a very group, a very optimistic group

1471
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 1: of players and a very optimistic team, and of course

1472
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 1: a very optimistic set of expectations. Within the building and

1473
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 1: without an outside the building. Yeah, and it's reflected in

1474
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,600
Speaker 1: all of us, all of this rhetoric, and I'm you know,

1475
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 1: we've been doing this for now. We've been doing it

1476
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 1: for what three four months now, since the end of

1477
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 1: the season. It's going to continue. Yeah, last one on

1478
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet from Chris. I think Dorsey plans to

1479
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 1: identify a defensive weakness, expose it, and continue to hammer

1480
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: that weakness until they're show an ability to stop our offense.

1481
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: We're not just going to run to set up the

1482
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: pass and such. It's interesting that that's mentioned because that's

1483
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: exactly what Frank Reich did when he found a run

1484
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 1: play that worked against the Bills in the game last

1485
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 1: year against the Colts. So we're just gonna keep running

1486
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 1: that play left right, left, right right left. Was a

1487
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 1: problem for the Bills last year. They got into a

1488
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: couple of games. The Colts game was one, and of

1489
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: course the forty mile hour win game on Monday night

1490
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: against the Patients game, the Jacksonville game. They got into

1491
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 1: a spot where they couldn't they couldn't stand up against

1492
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 1: the run game, and it was a big problem and

1493
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 1: it cost them three losses. So and home field throughout

1494
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 1: the player and home field. Don't think that's lost on

1495
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 1: this coaching staff or front office. We have to take

1496
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 1: a break here. When we come back, Steve and I

1497
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 1: will close it up, as we have just seen some

1498
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 1: breaking news that the Steelers are losing an important part

1499
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: of their defensive front to retirement. Will tell you who

1500
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 1: that is next here on One Bill's Live, presented by

1501
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:28,840
Speaker 1: Kalaida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, As we

1502
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: told you, a long time Steelers defensive lineman has decided

1503
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: to call it a career. Stephan to it their second

1504
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: round pick in the twenty fourteen draft, who's only about

1505
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 1: thirty years old, says, with respect to the Steelers organization,

1506
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:45,719
Speaker 1: my teammates and coaches, I would like to officially announce

1507
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 1: that I have come to the decision to retire from

1508
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to

1509
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,639
Speaker 1: represent the city of Pittsburgh for the past eight seasons

1510
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 1: and a blessed to leave this game with my health

1511
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 1: after the tragic laws of my brother Richard, and upon

1512
01:27:57,439 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 1: completing my degree from the University of Notre Dame, I

1513
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 1: know being called to move beyond the sport of football.

1514
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 1: Want to thank everyone for the love and support they

1515
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: have shown both on and off the field, and again

1516
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 1: want to thank the Rooney family, coach Tomlin, in the

1517
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 1: entire Pittsburgh organization. It was an honor and a privilege

1518
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:14,800
Speaker 1: to play for this historic team. Goes Steelers. And while

1519
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 1: you certainly understand he's at a place in his life

1520
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 1: where football is not the highest priority, and good for

1521
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 1: him that he can leave with his health, he does

1522
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 1: put the Steelers in a bit of a bind on

1523
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 1: their defensive line because right now your starters across the

1524
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 1: front are Cameron Hayward, who was a twenty eleven first

1525
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: round pick in his thirty three years of age, and

1526
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 1: then you have Tyson alu Alu who is thirty five

1527
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 1: going on thirty six this season as you're starting nose tackle.

1528
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 1: They drafted to Marvin leal Steve, a third round pick

1529
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 1: this year out of Texas A and M. And he's

1530
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 1: a good player, but you could be putting an awful

1531
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: lot on that kid's plate. Yeah, it certainly does put

1532
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,720
Speaker 1: a gap in there in the least their depth, if

1533
01:28:56,720 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 1: not their starting rotation. So it's it's not easy to

1534
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 1: retire and I tipped my hat for him having the

1535
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,639
Speaker 1: courage and then wherewithal to do it. Good for him. Yeah,

1536
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: and congrats on him getting his college degree to from

1537
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. That's not an easy school to get a degree.

1538
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: That's a tough school. But it'd be interesting to see

1539
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:16,759
Speaker 1: what they look like when the Bills face them later

1540
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 1: this season. That's all for us today, Steve, and I'll
