Speaker 1: at a restaurant. It is stunning to me, Like you

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: think about the things that change during the course of

24
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: this pandemic, because we are we at about a year,

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: we're just about there. Yeah, we're like fifty one and

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: a half. Ye, we're right about there. And I just

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: think about how things change, you know. And I was

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: just thinking this the other day. I'm standing in the

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: kitchen with my wife and we are emptying the dishwasher.

30
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: This is like yesterday, Thursday evening. We are emptying the dishwasher,

31
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: probably for the fourth time this week. And I'm thinking

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: to myself, man alive, We've emptied this thing four times

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: in the last five days. Because we're cooking all the

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: time at home, we are blowing through silverware like you

35
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't believe. Plates everything, It's gotten to the point now,

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Steve and I know this is not going to make

37
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: our environmentally conscious people happy, but like Fridays, we're just

38
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: pull out the paper plates because we're just so tired

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: of like and I know believe I'm old enough to

40
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: have grown up in a house that did not have

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: a dishwasher and I used to have to help my

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: mom wash the dishes every night, so I have total

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: respect for, you know, all of that stuff. So I'm

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: I really shouldn't complain about having to load and unload

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: the dishwasher because that is far easier than I haven't

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: actually do the dishes, but every night we're doing pots

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: and pans in the sink. Yeah, you know. And I'm

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: just thinking to myself, man alive? Can a man go

49
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: out to eat once a week? Right? I'm with you,

108
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: There is light at the end of the tunnel. Yeah see,

109
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: you know why because everybody's now now they've got I

110
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: heard today, I read an article today, there's another like

111
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: a third or was a third or a fourth vaccination

112
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: is being rolled out Johnson and Johnson, right, is the one.

113
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: And you know whether they're the efficacy, who cares. I don't,

114
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: But they're only gonna be one, right, that's the one

115
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: shot one. Now they're gonna see Now the health officials

116
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: are starting to get geared up because they know they're

117
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: gonna get the question like which one's best, right, which

118
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: one's the most effective, easiest, whatever, whatever, most abundant, whatever. Well,

119
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: that's with all these things rolling out, and I know,

120
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: for the and then there's some people that are opting

121
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: not to I get out. That's fine, it's your thing whatever.

122
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is there's a lot of people that

123
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: can't like, let's go I want that thing, and I

124
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: want it yesterday. Yeah. And so when they start rolling

125
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: these out and I just read too, they kind of

126
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: got the hiccups out of the supply line. Now, now

127
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: that's gonna start rolling out like there's fortune totally with

128
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: the weather and getting better with the spring coming in

129
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: that you know, there won't be delays and deliveries due

130
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: to weather and exact stuff. So that storm blew across

131
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: the country and buried Texas and all those southern states

132
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: that aren't used to handle. They were worried about the

133
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: supply chain. They were worried about getting drinking water, let

134
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: alone with vaccination. So yeah, so now they got that

135
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: those all ironed out, So everybody's gonna be getting vaccinated.

136
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: So pretty soon it's gonna get to the point where

137
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: it'll be hard to find somebody who's either you know,

138
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: not had it or not been vaccinated. Or we're gonna

139
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: be We're gonna be vaccinated before training camp, right we

140
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: as in me and you. Yeah, I mean we're probably

141
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: pretty low on the day list. But out of the

142
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: three hundred fifty million people in the country, you and

143
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: I are like maybe three hundred and forty eight millions, right,

144
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean, just now, there's gonna be maybe ten million

145
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: of those who are gonna opt out, Oh please don't

146
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: do that, get vaccinated. But you know, okay, because I've

147
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: I have people that I know that that are like that.

148
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: I consider, like, wow, they're way they need a way

157
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: I will be very low on the list. Uh so, Yeah,

158
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you this. I had to get follow

159

166
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: you have a broken bone, your your body sends calcium

167
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: deposits to kind of repair the area. Not there yet.

178
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,520

182
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: were taking it. I didn't know it was for vitamin

183
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,640

201
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,920

202
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: ye who got me? Not a guy you want to

203
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,200

00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: were falling, called helmet on your arm, cleaned it up,

205
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: and it's and it popped it and it was late.

206
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: It was like week fifteen. So did you cast it

207
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: up and play it? Well? I had to cast it up.

208
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: But you can't put a full cast in play, right,

209
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: isn't that against the rules? Or well, you can if

210
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: if you put it so, then you got a club.

211
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: So I got so they did that, and I was

212
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: worried because I got elected to the Pro Bowl and

213
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: the doctors, you know, doctor said I ain't gonna be

214
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: ready for the Pro Bowl. Yeah. I was like, dude,

215
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: if I can't, if I can't, if I got an

216
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: injury this week, I wouldn't even get to go to Hawaii,

217
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: and my family will break my legs forget about my

218
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: own they're kind of looking forward to rip. So but

219
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: and that was a week, right, so it's Steve's more

220
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: worried about it would blow back from the family. Yeah, sorry, guys,

221
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: we can't go to Honolulu. What yes, exactly if I

222
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: did go, And but by the end, by the time

223
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: that would that was like a month, and I was

224
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: back to you know, and I was just and I

225
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: was walking around like this. Well, I did put the

226
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: cast on. From the end, as it was explained to me.

227
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: The reason, like your skin and other stuff, heals so

228
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: much faster than bones as it gets more oxygen because

229
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: it's connected to your vascular system more more directly. Um.

230
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: So it's just taking time. And they said, yeah, six

231
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: to eight weeks is a common um. Length of time rognosis.

232
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: But they're like, you did a pretty good job on

233
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 1: they looked at the original X rays. They're like, did

234
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: you go back to them? You did a number here?

235
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Did you go back to the stairs where you fell?

236
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: And like, look, I go up and down the same

237
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: damn stairs every day. Which stair was it? Like the

238
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: ones that go upstairs? I'm talking about like the third

239
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: from the top, third, right in the middle, right in

240
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: the middle, yeah, right in the middle. And did you

241
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: like slide down like you? I, Well, we have a landing.

242
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: We have a landing, and then you hang a left

243
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: and there's three more stairs to the first floor. So

244
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm halfway down the long part banana peal. First

245
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: thing I land on is back there, and I kind

246
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: of skid down the last three to the landing. Wait,

247
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: so now I'm give me a play by play of

248
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: what happened when you slid down and got to the bottom. Well,

249
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: as soon as I hit the stair, I made this

250
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: like guttural sound because it I hit. I hit so

251
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: hard it forced the air out of my lungs like

252
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: I was airborne, and um, I'm sorry, I'm laughing. And

253
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: then I skidded down to the landing and I'm just

254
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: laying there for sorry. And it was one of those

255
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: time to take inventory assessment deals because I was like,

256
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna move right away here because this isn't good. Yeah,

257
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: you could feel it. I've done that a lot. My

258
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: wife thought I was dead once when I went down

259
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: the stairs like that. Yeah, dress shoes, wooden stairs from

260
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: top to bottom. Oh, and it sounded and it was

261
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: a narrow it was. It was an older house that

262

Speaker 1: we were living in, narrow old time. The center of

263
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: the house staircase right, and I guess it sounded like

264
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: somebody threw a bag of bricks down the side. I

265
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: can't imagine what I hit every case. I hit every

266
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: wall and corner on the way down and she runs

267
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: it looks down and I'm on my back with my

268
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: feet up the stairway. Oh wow, and I'm just laying there.

00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: We'll have him handicap that for us, as well as

305
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: where things stand with Tua and there you know the

306
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: team's course going into year three under Brian Flores and

307
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: a boatload of draft capital at least for now, So

308
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: we'll get the assessment from Armando down there. Third hour

309
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: of the show, we're going to talk to Seahawks beat

310
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: reporter Brady Henderson because Steve, this thing's taken on a

311
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: life of its own. Yeah, you know, we talked on

312
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: the show yesterday about the whole thing with Russell Wilson

313
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: and him storming out of a meeting with Pete Carroll

314
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: and other coaches after he had some suggestions for how

315
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: to fix the offense after he committed seven turnovers in

316
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: two games and he was roundly rejected. Took offense to that.

317
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: The relationship has been deteriorating, according to reports. Since then,

318
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: hasn't formally asked for a trade, but his agent throws out,

319
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: but if one came about, here are the four teams

320
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: he'd like to go to, because he does have a

321
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: no trade clause. And I'm thinking to myself, good gravy man,

322
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: this is serious. So every other media outlet under the

323
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: sun Steve has now taken it upon themselves to handicap

324
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: where he could be going next to what it would take. Oh,

325
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: there's odds in Vegas and that it's about and you'll

326
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: see it when you get it up there, and to

327
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: that level of player, it's about being respected as more

328
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: than just another paycheck that they write. Yeah, if you're

329
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna ask your guy to be that guy like Deshaun

330
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: Watson and Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers and you know,

331
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: Brady picked picked the guy. If you're gonna Irena, he's

332
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna be that guy. There's some stuff that goes with it.

333
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: Certainly there's more demands put on a starting quarterback in

334
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: the NFL more and forget about just playing and getting

335
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: ready to play. It's about media responsibilities. It's about things

336
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: that you do outside of the lines inside the building.

337
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: You gotta be a leader, You got to you gotta

338
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: take guys under your wing. You gotta you gotta coach

339
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: up the wide receivers and the tight ends and the

340
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: running backs, about how you want a route to be run,

341
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: about what you like, what you're looking for. You know,

342
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: it's just a there's a whole menu of extracurricular things

343
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: that you're asking this guy to do. And when you

344
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: do that for a while and nobody else is being

345
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: asked to do anything of that sort, you kind of think, well, listen,

346
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: how about you know, if if we're gonna run this

347
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: these play, how about running this play like this and

348
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: doing this and that and that. And then when they say,

349
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, shut up and sit down, basically yeah, you'd

350
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: leave the meeting. I get where Russ is coming from

351
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: on this. When you feel like they're dismissive of what

352
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about, that's pretty hard to take. As if

353
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: for any player, let alone a guy who's done what

354
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: he's what Russ Wilson has done and Deshaun Watson, particularly

355
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: when they tell him one thing and do another. That's yeah.

356
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: And after a four and twelfth season where you lit

357
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: it up, I can see why Deshaun Watson was out

358
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: of there and that that's a story coming out of

359
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: there too. We talk about Russ Wilson. Deshaun Watson met

360
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: with David Culley for the first time. Yeah, didn't go well,

361
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: did not, at least as far as the Texans are concerned. Well,

362
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: he just said, I ain't playing for you in no

363
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: uncertain terms. Whatever you have said to me over the

364
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: last thirty to forty five minutes means nothing. I am

365
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: not playing for you, not playing. Don't expect me too,

366
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: and do what you need to do, knowing I am

367
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: not coming here to suit up in this uniform with

368
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: that helmet on ever. Ever again, that is think about that.

369
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to the head coaching position, mister Kelley. Think about it,

370
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: sweet mother of Pearl. How how much is Leslie Frasier

371
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: thankful that he is not the head coach of the Texans? Right?

372
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: I told you, Yeah, the way I think I remember,

373
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: I think a number of those candidates. You can say

374
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: what you want about the candidates, the quality of candidates

375
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: who they hired, who they did't. Here I'm telling you this,

376
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: when those quality candidates come through there, the quality candidates

377
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: know what they need to be successful, know what's going

378
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: to take, and if it's not all there, they begin

379
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: to distance themselves even within the organization. They distance. We

380
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: heard had Tony dunge on yesterday, right he said, he goes,

381
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: I just it didn't seem like it was gonna go

382
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: well because I you know, I needed certain things. I

383
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: need a general manager. Because he was in the jackson

384
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: Remember he told us he was in the Jacksonville Jaguars,

385
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: and Wayne Weaver wanted a guy that could run the

386
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: whole show. He wanted a guy to be the GM,

387
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: the president, the head coach, all of that, and Tony said, listen,

388
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: I need a general manager. I need all that. So

389
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: in that case, Tony dungews like started to distance himself

390
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: from that position. That you look at Houston, that wasn't

391
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: just one guy doing it. There was like three or

392
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: four guys that were like going whoo woo woo and

393
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: knowing Deshaun Watson's position or at least hearing reports of

394
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: it when those interviews were taking place. Because this goes

395
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: back over a month this watch. This has to do

396
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: with the GM higher right. I would imagine that those

397
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: coaching candidates, cleverly, in a veiled way, asked the kinds

398
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: of questions that could at least give them insight on

399
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: whether this was going to be something that they felt

400
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: they could sustain and build into something successful, or if

401
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: it looked like it was going to be a heavy lift.

402
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: And I think within during the course of the interview,

403
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if Leslie Frazier and or Eric

404
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: b Enemy and others that were in the running for

405
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: the position said yeah, I mean I really need a

406
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: B and C and if you can only get me

407
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: a I don't know that this is a fit for me.

408
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: Like they may have just said, I appreciate the time

409
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: and the consideration, I just don't see this as as

410
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: something that's gonna work for me to make me believe

411
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: that I can be successful in this role. Let's face

412
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: it too. I mean the Houston, the Texans were in

413
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hole that had been dug

414
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: by the previous guy, Bill O'Brien. Yeah, they had, they

415
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: got tons, they got tons of dead cap money their

416
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: way over the cap. They traded away there, one of their,

417
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: if not their best player, no first or second round picks,

418
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: no draft picks to speak of, they have no you know,

419
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: so you got you have no resources and no path

420
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: to get more resources except just to wait. It's probably

421
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to release one of your most popular players,

422
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: which happened, and J J. J. Watt was going to

423
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: have to be let go. The only thing you've got

424
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: going for you there is the quarterback. And if David

425
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: Culley was the guy that went in there and said,

426
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: I'll take the job, but you got to guarantee me

427
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get that guy, he's gonna stay here. And

428
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: they made him that guarantee. And now you can selling

429
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: the relationship with the head coach already. Yeah, it's just

430
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: didn't come through on the most important part that he

431
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: asked for. It's a train wreck down there. And I

432
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: think I think nothing against David Culley, but I did

433
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: not know he was even interviewing for head coaching positions. Yeah,

434
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: you talk about an under the radar candidate. Well, I

435
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: wonder if it got to the point where the Texans

436
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: front office said, look, we've got these high quality candidates

437
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: that are coming down here to at least interview How

438
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: good do we feel about these guys accepting the position

439
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: if it's offered to them, knowing the circumstances underwork under

440
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: which we're currently operating with this question mark at the

441
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: quarterback position with DeShawn Watson, and if they said, well,

442
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: it's a fifty fifty shot we get one of these guys.

443
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: But if we don't, we better have a backup plan

444
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: at the ready, and it better not look like it's

445
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: the contingency. Let's get that other guy in here along

446
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 1: with the rest of these guys so it looks like

447
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: he's one of the you know what I mean, if

448
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: you want to be cynical about it and you and

449
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: you take the dysfunction for what it is, it might

450
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: be a guy like the GM or this the other

451
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: guy that we're talking about and I can't make Easterby. Yeah,

452
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: at Easterby and the owner, maybe they'll be going, which

453
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: one of these guys is going to do what we

454
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: tell him to do? Well? Yeah, yeah, Which one of

455
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: these guys is the guy that we want to you

456
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: know that is gonna when we tell him to make

457
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: this player over, this player, make this mover. He's gonna

458
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: do it, which one of these guys will do it? That?

459
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: And I you know, and I have all the respect

460
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: in the world for David Cully and I wish him

461
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: success down there. When he was here, he was, you know,

462
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 1: great guy, all that stuff. But if you compare his

463
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: coaching resume to Eric b Enemy and Leslie Frasier, it

464
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: just doesn't add up to the same answer. I think

465
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: anybody could see that just looking at it on paper.

466
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: Not saying he's not qualified. I'm just saying there were

467
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: other candidates here who appeared to be more qualified, and

468
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, they made their decision for whatever reason, and

469
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: there may have been extenuating circumstances that had them land

470
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: on David Kelley. We'll never know until somebody writes a

471
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: book about it, like, you know, twenty years from now

472
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: or whatever. But it's it's it's getting ugly down there.

473
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: But in any event, that's a long way around saying

474
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: what we have on the show. So Brady Hendrickson, the

475
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: ESPN NFL Nation reporter for the Seattle Seahawks, will be

476
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: joining us in the third hour the program to talk

477
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: about the Russell Wilson scenario and how in the many directions.

478
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: It could go between now and the start of next season,

479
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: and in just about ten minutes time, we will putt

480
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Eve to his weekly test, a new edition of Tasker's Teammate.

481
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: I really I'm kind of proud of this one. I

482
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: hope it comes to fruition in the way that I hope.

483
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: But I think this will be a good one, So

484
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: make sure to stay tuned for that. But we do

485
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: want to answer your questions on the obil Friday fan

486
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: mail bag and on the phones at eight oh three

487
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: oh five fifty. And we've got Bob hanging on here

488
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: to lead us off today on the show. Bob in Rome,

489
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: New York. Bob, what do you have for us? You're

490
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, all right, how are you doing, guys? Good? Good?

491
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: My question today is looking you showed the upcoming schedule

492
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: for the Bills, right, what is going on with the

493
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: scheduling lately? I mean, they're gonna play the Tennessee Titans

494
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: again three years in a row, FC away, They're gonna

495
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: play Kansas City in Kansas City again. Yeah, I mean

496
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh again. I mean, I don't understand. It seems like

497
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: well it's a out of a hat. The schedules crazy. Well, Bob,

498
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: here's the thing. There's a formula. It's not like they

499
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: arbitrarily picked this stuff. It's all in a pattern. It's

500
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: a rotational it's a rotational schedule. So the Bills are

501
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: due to play the what is it this year, the NFCC,

502
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: AFC SOUTHC South and the NFC South. So right off

503
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: the bat, and I understand what you're getting at, Bob,

504
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: because each of the last two years the Bills have

505
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: played the Titans in Tennessee. So the reason for that

506
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: is those two teams finished in the same place in

507
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: their respective divisions each of the last two years. And

508
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: what you have is when you fill out an NFL

509
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: team schedule, they're assigned two divisions, one division from the

510
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: AFC that is not their own, one division from the NFC,

511
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: and those rotate. Now, obviously there are four divisions to

512
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: rotate through in the other conference, and then you have

513
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: your own division teams that you play twice a piece

514
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: for total of six games. You play all the teams

515
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: in the assigned other AFC division that's four more games

516
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: for a total of ten. And then you play four

517
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC in a division. And now what

518
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: are way up to. That's fourteen teams, so that leaves

519
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: you with two outstanding games. Those two games are played

520
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: against the two teams in the other remaining AFC divisions

521
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: that you're not playing, and they you play the same

522
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: team that finished in the same place in their division

523
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: as you faced in your division. So each of the

524
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: last two years, the Bills did not play the AFC South,

525
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: but the team assigned to the Bills to play in

526
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: the AFC South the team were the Titans because they

527
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: finished in second last year just like the Bills, and

528
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: the year before as well, they finished in the same position. Now,

529
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: if you go all the way back to the last

530
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: time that the Bills played the AFC Suth, it was

531
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, Sean McDermott's first year, the Bills played them

532
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: here and won thirteen to twelve on a last second

533
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: field goal by Stephen Houshkiff. You remember, so the last

534
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: time they faced him as a division facing opponent intraconference,

535
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: it was twenty seventeen, they played him here. So it

536
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: just so happens that they were the away team in

537
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: the one of two games that are left on the

538
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: schedule to play an AFC club from the other two

539
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: divisions and the home and away don't I don't know

540
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: how that word. I don't know how that that may

541
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: be the one thing that is arbitrary. Yeah, that might be.

542
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: I'd have to check on Kansas City again. Yeah, that's

543
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: a that's a tough break, right, but that is. That

544
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: is an example of one of the two games on

545
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo schedule this year. They played the AFC West last

546
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: year and based on rotation, they were at Kansas City,

547
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: and so this year they're not playing AFC West, so

548
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: they have to play the one team in the AFC

549
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: West and the one team in the AFC North that

550
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: finished in first place in the division in twenty twenty.

551
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: Those two teams are Pittsburgh in Kansas City. So they

552
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: get Pittsburgh at home, Kansas City on the road, and

553
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: that's it's rotational. I know it doesn't sound fair because

554
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: you're saying, man, alive, we gotta go play Tennessee and

555
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee again. We gotta play Kansas City in Kansas City again. Yes. Now,

556
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure Pittsburgh's saying the same thing. Man. We just

557
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: played the Bills Sunday night in Buffalo. We gotta go

558
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: back up there and play him again this year. And

559
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: here's another here's here's the way that goes too. Now

560
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 1: you think about this, the Bills will probably play when

561
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: particularly when you're talking about the AFC North, the Bills

562
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: will probably play the year after this coming year, we'll

563
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: probably play Baltimore again or something like. You could play Baltimoregan.

564
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: It feels like, gosh, we just played Baltimore here and that,

565
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: but that was a playoff game, so that's arbitrary. So

566
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: some of these teams, when you get into the you

567
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: start playing the playoffs, you start having different opponents. We

568
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: played the Colts, we played the Baltimore Ravens, and we

569
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: played the Chiefs twice this last year. You're gonna start

570
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: seeing these teams all the time. I remember back in

571
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: the nineties, the Bills were always playing the La Raiders

572
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: every every year, every year and sometimes twice a year.

573
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: A couple of times you just don't get away from

574
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: because the team's peak at the same time and they're

575
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: playing divisions and you know, and you just you just

576
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: cross paths with them all the time. I remember we

577
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: played the Giants like it's We played the Giants like

578
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: three times in the course of twenty four months, played

579
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: him end of the regular season in ninety, the super Bowl,

580
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: the preseason, and then a Monday night game too. It's

581
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: team to Ian. We played him like four times in

582
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: two years. In two years. It was I was like,

583
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 1: which for an NFC team is very rare. Yeah, it's

584
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: really really rare. Yeah. So it's just those kind of

585
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: things happen, particularly when you start mixing in. Thankfully a

586
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 1: trip a yearly trip to the playoff. So that's got

587
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: Hopefully that explains it for you, Bob. But thanks for

588
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: the phone call. Those are the kind of questions we're

589
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: here to answer. We have to take a break, but

590

591

Speaker 1: You don't want to miss this one. We'll see if

592
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: Steve can guess it as quickly as he did last

593
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: week when he got Lonnie Johnson on the first clue.

594
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: We'll see if he can match that. It's like name

595
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: that tune, naming a song in one note. It was impressive.

596
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: We'll see if Steve can redeem himself again this week

597
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: as we return with Tasker's Teammate In a Moment on

00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: actually was coming up there anyhow to visit Frank. After

727
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: the CFL season. I was coming up to see the

728
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,479

736
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: Shank while they're out tore and we both went to

737
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,279

738
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: game with a bunch of the guys and I think

739
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: we were still feeling the celebration the next morning when

740
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: the phone rings and I had worked out on the

741
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: Saturday before the game. This was the Monday after the

742
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: Miami game, and I think it was the thirteenth straight

743
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: time they beat the Bills and a guy dropped a

744
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: touchdown pass it would have won the game. And so

745
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: my agent calls at nine am. I'm still sleepy Frake's

746
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: house and they said, you know, hey, the Bills want

747
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: to sign you. And I said, yeah, I know, but

748
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: we said we were going to wait until after the draft,

749
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,640

Speaker 1: you're waiting to sign with a team in ninety you know,

760
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: after your time finished here, and it said you worked

761
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: as a photo copier and fax machine salesman. Is that accurate? Yes?

762
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: I went home to Maryland, and and I actually thought

763
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: maybe football was over for me. You know, nobody wanted

764
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: to sign me. This was during the nineteen ninety NFL season.

765
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: I was cut and I was on the street. So

766
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 1: I went to work with a couple of my buddies

767
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: that worked at this company called Paul B. Williams selling

768
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: copiers and factes. Yeah, and you know, I think that

769
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: job drove me straight back to football in any capacity. Yeah.

770
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: There's a famous there's a famous quote on your Wikipedia

771
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: page that you supposedly said where you said I would

772
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 1: rather face a blitz than deal with secretaries. Yeah. Yeah,

773
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: those girls protecting this those companies are tough to get by, man,

774
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it's awesome. Awesome. That is a fantastic quote.

775
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: Although when you sign him saying that's a pretty good Yeah,

787
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: part of Tasker's teammate here, Stan, We appreciate it and

788
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: good to catch up with you. Thanks for the time.

789
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: Thanks man, it's great seed good seeing you guys. All right.

790
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: That's Stan Gelba, former Bills quarterback who got called in

791
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: not long after you landed. He and we kind of

792
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: bonded because we were both new and and he was

793
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: he was Frank's buddy, and Frank's good friend on the

794
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: team was John Kidd, who was my college roommate for

795
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: a minute. So all the four of us we were

796
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: pretty tight real quick. And uh, Stan and I, oh,

797
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: we spend a ton of time together. We spent a

798
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: ton of time together. I went when he got released

799
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: by the Bills in eighty I don't know what it

800
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: was like, eighty nine on and off the roster for

801
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: four times. Right, your third quarterback, they need an extra spot.

802
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: You get waved in the nine. When Frank Reich was

803
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: gonna be there or not be there. They told Frank,

804
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,959
Speaker 1: they told Stan, you're on. You made the team after

805
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: training camp unless Frank won't take the pay cut. And Frank,

806
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: they had Frank up to Bill Pullion's office and said, Frank,

807
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: we can't give you this this kind of deal. If

808
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna be here, we'll let you be here, but

809
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: you gotta take a pay cut and be to be

810
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: the backup. And Frank had to think about that whether

811
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: go to free agency and go out and be on

812
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: another team, or you know, take the money. And he

813
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: made that. He took the pay cut, which meant his

814
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: buddy stand was out. Oh god, that's a business man.

815
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: That's hard. So after that happened, they pulled stand In

816
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: and released him like the same day. They told him

817
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: he had made it. And I spent that and I

818
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: went over and spent the whole day with him at

819
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: his house. I was like, dude, I yeah, it was rough.

820
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: That's a that's a rough part. Nobody ever knows that

821
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I know, but that, I mean, that

822
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: just speaks to the friendship those two guys had because

823
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: they were competing all the way through college too. But

824
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, you get to this point. It's out of

825
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: your hand. You know, you both played the basic cannon.

826
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: It comes down to decisions that are made by other people,

827
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, so that it doesn't it doesn't hurt the friendship.

828
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: It just you know, you gotta look out. How about

829
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 1: that for a quote, though, I'd rather face a blitz

830
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: than deal with secretary. He couldn't get by the secretaries

831
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: to sell photocopiers machines. They were the first line of defenses.

832
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: He couldn't get by him, right stands a great guy,

833
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: great really good players. Well, obviously he played for Seattle

834
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: for a number of years, yeah, ninety two to ninety six.

835
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: He finished his career up there after a pretty successful

836
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: career in the World League. The first yeah, in the

837
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: London the was NFL Europe. Well, yeah, they called it

838
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: the World League and then they changed it, Yes, they

839
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,720
Speaker 1: changed Europe. And he he had a really nice career

840
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: over there and max that out with Larry Kennon. And

841
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: when Kennon got the offensive coordinator job in Seattle, he goes,

842
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: I want my boy and Stan came over. Had a

843
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: high draft pick there in um what was that? Rick Meyer?

844
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: Rick Meyer got there at the end. But even before that,

845
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: they still had that other guy McGuire. Dan McGuire was

846
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: like a high draft choice also at quarterback, so he

847
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: was largely a backup his whole career in the NFL.

848
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: But he got to play in in NFL Europe and

849
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: did pretty well. I mean, heck, they won the first

850
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: World Bowl. So yeah, good on him, man, Yeah, it

851
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: was good to catch up with him. We have to

852
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we return, we'll open up

853
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: the obil fan mail bag. And we also have some

854
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: people that we're gonna be talking to a little later

855
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: in the show, including one Armando Salguero on the Dolphins

856
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 1: situation and whether they're going to be in on trying

857
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: to make a move for Deshaun Watson if it comes

858
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: to that. We'll talk to him in about fifteen minutes

859
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: back in a flash here on One Bills Live presented

860
00:45:47,640 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: by Collid to help it's Buffalo Bills radio runterback. We're about, oh,

861
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: i'd say, ten minutes away from talking to one Armando

862
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: sal Gero from the Miami Herald, as we'll be discussing

863
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins offseason dealings with him, including whether or not they

864
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: would get involved and to what degree if Deshaun Watson

865
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: were suddenly available, if the Texans blink and say up,

866
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: time to move on, and where they stand with Tuah

867
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: and the kind of build they're looking to make in

868
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: year three with Brian Flores, it's a that's a tough

869
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: decision there because you just spent the fifth overall pick

870
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: on a quarterback that you basically evaluate and said, this

871
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 1: guy's capable being a franchise player. And now suddenly i'd

872
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: be I mean, believe me, nobody's gonna blink if they

873
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: jettison him for de Chahn Watson. But it's just interesting

874
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: how it's a ceiling. It's and I don't know that

875
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: they believe it's high enough. Yeah, certainly they're gonna give

876
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: the guy. The guy's got a chance. You got to

877
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: give him a chance to come out and show what

878
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: he can do and you know, develop and but you've

879
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 1: got to see, you know, there's got to be potential

880
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: there for real growth. And when you're looking around at

881
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,479
Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks in the league, Lamar Jackson and Pat

882
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: Mholmes and Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert Kyler, Murray Josh,

883
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: you gotta think, Okay, we're just two fall into that,

884
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if he measures up to any of

885
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: those guys he just mentioned physically. I mean he's just

886
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: a guy. Yeah, I mean he's let me tell you something,

887
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: when you stand around Russell Wilson doesn't stand out like

888
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: that either until you get on the field, well and

889
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: watch him throw. The guy can sling it and he

890
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: can run. And he's also an elite decision maker, right,

891
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: So I mean he can extend plays and make throws

892
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: and I mean he's all of that. So when you're

893
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: looking at if you're the Miami Dolf and you're looking

894
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: around the league, give it. Particularly given the environment, the

895
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: teams are like going, you know what, I'm trading the

896
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: quarterback that got me to the super Bowl in Jared Goffin.

897
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get Matt Stafford because he's just a little

898
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: bit better physically. You get to that point and it's like, well,

899
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: who's who's exempt If Jared Goffin Matt Stafford can be

900
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: traded for whatever the deal, Yeah, who's exempt from that?

901
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: You think twas exempted? Why not? I just want to

902
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: refuse it would be interested, you know what I mean, Like, well, yeah,

903
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: you know it might be get you want to offer him,

904
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: but we don't. We don't want him. It's not just him,

905
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: that's for she's not straight across. Oh no, no, no,

906
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: no no, it's gonna take it all. So what do

907
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: you think? What's it gonna take? We'll ask amand Armando. Well,

908
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 1: but yeah, at least I think if you're throwing two

909
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: in the deal, it's two and a couple of oneths.

910
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 1: Maybe more than that, maybe two, one's a third end

911
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, we're gonna ask Armando when he comes

912
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: on break time for us when we return. Armando Saliero

913
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: from the Miami Heralds. So we'll talk to him when

914
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: we return and get the lay of the land of

915
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins offseason plans. Here on One Bill's Live presented

916
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Buffalo Bills

917
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: Radio Network, Sports Update, Your sports Update from One Bill's Drive.

918
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's unhappiness has not gone unnoticed around the NFL.

919
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: Per report from NFL Network, more than ten teams have

920
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: called the Seahawks to inquire about Wilson's availability. Wilson has

921
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: a no trade clause in his contract, meaning if it

922
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: came to a point where the two sides needed to

923
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: part ways, the Seahawks would be somewhat limited, if not handcuffed,

924
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: in their ability to strike a deal that works out

925
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: for both parties. Wilson's agent said that if a trade

926
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: out of Seattle came to fruition, the veteran QB would

927
00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 1: only consider these four teams Cowboys, Saints, d and Bears.

928
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans stance on refusing to trade superstar quarterback

929
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson remains unchanged. Texans are carrying on with

930
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: their unwillingness to talk about trading Watson with other teams.

931
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: Some suitors have resorted to leaving voicemails with their respective

932
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 1: trade offers. Head coach David Culley recently spoke with Watson,

933
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: though the two have yet to meet in person. The

934
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: meeting between Culley and Watson did nothing to change Watson's

935
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: desire to be traded. When dozens of high profile names

936
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: hit NFL free agency, they're often competing against each other

937
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: for the best contracts of their respective careers. This offseason, however,

938
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: player leadership is urging free agents to work together. According

939
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: to ESPN, NFLPA Executive director de Morris Smith told NFL

940
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: agents Thursday, it's okay to collude in order to get

941
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: the best possible deals for their clients, encouraging them to

942
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: push back against teams attempting to capitalize on a reduced

943
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one salary kept and the Tennessee Titans took

944
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: a chance on former Georgia offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson with

945
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: the twenty ninth overall pick in last year's draft, and

946
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 1: it quickly turned out to be a decision they regretted.

947
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 1: Wilson played just four snapps for the Titans this past season,

948
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 1: and now the Titans are reportedly ready to part ways

949
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: with him. On Thursday, NFL Network reported that the Titans

950
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: are shopping Wilson on the market and are open to

951
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: dealing him to another franchise. Titans also released wide receiver

952
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: Adam Humphrey's on Thursday to save just over four million

953
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: dollars on their twenty twenty one salary cap. That is

963
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: one of those voicemails with the Texans? Is he there?

964
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: Can he hear us? All right? Okay, so we're gonna

965
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna try to reconnect again. We're having problems with our

966
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: goes man. It's technology. It's I wanted to start right

967
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: out of the right out of the gate there like, Hey,

968
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins leading trade offers on voicemail, Steve, everybody is

969
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: getting in on Twitter. Has made it so easy to

970
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: make fun all these things. Russ Wilson, Deshaun Watson, Uh, everybody,

971
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: and Russ Wilson throwing his hat into the ring for

972
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: being amenable to a trade. He albeit to a list

973
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: of four teams along with Deshaun Watson, literally saying he's

974
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: not gonna play for the Texans. Um, those are two

975
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: top flight rubber stamp starting win the you can win

976
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: the whole thing with this guy. Quarterbacks who are out there,

977
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: who who may be available? And I don't know how

978
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: some teams resist throwing a boatload of assets, like the

979
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: Seahawks or the Texas to get them. All right, I

980
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: think we have Armando now, So Armando, I was coming

981
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: out hot right out of the gate. I want to

982
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: know that the Dolphins leave one of those trade offer

983
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: voicemails on the Texans phone system over there, you know that, Yeah,

984
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: you were coming out hot. But the phones of someone's

985
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: coming out like the New England Patriots offense the last month,

986
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were not one of those things that were

987
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: leaving voicemails. But trust me, if at any point the

988
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 1: Houston Texas give any sort of indication that they're even

989
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: remotely interested in training Deshaun Watson, the Dolphins will be

990
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: lining up to you know, try to figure it out

991
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: and trying to you know, include themselves in the derby. Yeah,

992
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: and I mean we've heard a whole host of conflicting reports. First,

993
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, Deshaun Watson had little no interest in going

994
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: to the Jets because what they would have to give

995
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 1: up just to get him would leave the cupboard bear

996
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: for him to win with them. So they were saying, oh, no,

997
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: Jets aren't a team he's considering. And then it is. Oh, yeah,

998
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: he wouldn't mind the Jets though, that's fine. I'm just

999
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: wondering if the agents are trying to keep as many

1000
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: doors open as possible because there's because it's going to

1001
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: drive up the price. But I think they're looking for

1002
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: any and all possible destinations here. But I'm sure you

1003
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: can imagine Armando Bills fans do not want this guy

1004
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: in the AFC East. That would be a bad day

1005
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. It would be a bad day

1006
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: for any team not getting Deshaun Watson. And understand, this

1007
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: is an ever changing situation. I don't know if you

1008
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 1: got to remember, but I think it was like four

1009
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: weeks ago I reported that he would absolutely love to

1010
00:54:56,239 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: go to the Jets. And everyone that's saying, well, that

1011
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: would mean the cover in his bear. Hello, have you

1012
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: looked at the Jets Stalary gaft space for this season?

1013
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: For this off season, it's gonna be like sixty plus

1014
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:17,760
Speaker 1: million dollars. They can do anything they want. So yeah,

1015
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, even if they're not drafting two guys in

1016
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,479
Speaker 1: the first round and two guys in the second round,

1017
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: they're they're able to sign some guys and they do

1018
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: have an asset in Sam Darnold, who they would probably

1019
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,720
Speaker 1: then try to move, you know, somewhere else. And and

1020
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: I know for a fact that there are a couple

1021
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: of teams that would welcome the idea of trying to

1022
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: rehabilitate Sam Darnold. So it's not like the Jets are

1023
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: incapable of doing this. Now. Obviously, you know the Dolphins,

1024
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: they kind of have committed themselves to tah But as

1025
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, commitments in the NFL, they're like josh A

1026
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: Gabor commitments with husbands. They happened one year and then

1027
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: the next year, and yeah, maybe not so much. So

1028
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: it's it's an ever changing landscape. Yeah, and it seemed

1029
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: to be changing pretty quickly because David Culley took the

1030
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: Houston Texans job and was told, and at least what

1031
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: was put out in the public eye, that he was

1032
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: guaranteed that Deshaun Watson was going to be in the fold.

1033
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: So they met for the first time and it was

1034
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: reportedly it did not go well, and Deshaun Watson told

1035
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: David Culley straight away that he had no intentions of

1036
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: playing for the Houston Texans. Again, do you think that

1037
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 1: opens the door now that the head coach has heard

1038
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: it from the guy himself. Do you think that has

1039
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: softened the Texans stance on whether to trade him or not. No,

1040
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: because we are in hardball time, and hardball time is

1041
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 1: where people dig in and they dig in because it's

1042
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: a business and they're going to, you know, act in

1043
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 1: a business fashion. And for Deshaun Watson, the business fashion

1044
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: is I absolutely will never play for you. I absolutely

1045
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: will never set foot in a Houston Texans locker room again.

1046
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: I absolutely won out, and the Houston Texas business reproaches

1047
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: you absolutely will. We are absolutely not trading you. We

1048
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: are absolutely going to keep you, and you have a

1049
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: four year contract remaining. Now, all of this, a lot

1050
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: of it is everybody's kind of digging in. But when

1051
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: we reach the moment where checks are supposed to be

1052
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: written for Deshaun Watson, or the draft is happening in

1053
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: free agent has begun for the Houston Texans, or the

1054
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: season has begun for both of them, all of a sudden,

1055
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: those landmarks, those milestones. They have a way of softening

1056
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: business stances. They have a way of people have a

1057
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: way of figuring out that, hey, it's good to play hardball,

1058
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: but it's better to play winning ball, and I don't want,

1059
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's no one's best interest for Deshaun Watson

1060
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: that out an entire season. It's certainly not in his

1061
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: best interest. It's not in the Houston Texans best interest.

1062
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: Talking to Miami Harold Calumnist and Radio dot Com NFL

1063
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: inside Armando Salgero, Armando, We've already seen the reports that

1064
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: there's mutual interest between Aaron Jones and the Miami Dolphins,

1065
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: Steve and I and kind of taking a look at

1066
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: to his game this year, finally getting a chance to

1067
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: see it. We're of the opinion that they're going to

1068
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: need to surround him with as much talent as humanly

1069
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: possible to get the most out of him. So Aaron

1070
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: Jones is a name that's come up. What other ways

1071
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: are you anticipating they will try to surround tour with

1072
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: as much, you know, support as possible to make him successful.

1073
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: If it's actually at quarterback. For the Dolphins, wide receivers

1074
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: is an area that they're just not good enough in

1075
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: and they proved that last year. They've been proving that

1076
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: for a while now. DeVante Parker had a good season

1077
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: two years ago. He looked like a first round pick,

1078
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: which he was in twenty fifteen, but it just didn't,

1079
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, translate to last year, and they don't have

1080
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: big time playmakers. And I think the folks in Buffalo

1081
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: they saw what happens when you had even one big

1082
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 1: time playmaker to an offense. It changes thing, It open

1083
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: things up for other guys, and obviously it makes the

1084
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: quarterback better. So I'm not saying that the Dolphins are

1085
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: going to go out and give up a first round

1086
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: draft pick for a Stefon Digg's type of talent. I

1087
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: am saying that they do have two first round picks,

1088
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: two second round picks, and they do intend to improve

1089
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room. There is no doubt about that.

1090
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: Last year, Week seventeen, when the Dolphins came into Buffalo

1091
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: with a chance to get to the playoffs, two was

1092
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: going to play that game and Ryan Fitzpatrick was not

1093
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: going to be able to because of COVID and in

1094
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: a game of that magnitude. Obviously too, it was a

1095
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: first year player. But looking back on it, I think

1096
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: that leading up to that game, we thought Bill's fans

1097
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: were kind of happy that they weren't gonna get fits,

1098
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: that they were gonna get Tah And it looks as

1099
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: though they're gonna allow fits maybe to test the market

1100
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: and maybe do their best to gracefully distance themselves from

1101
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. That backup quarterback that, while he's proven effective,

1102
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: could also be a distraction for a young quarterback who's

1103
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: trying to make the team his own. What are they

1104
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: going to do at backup quarterback? Because it looks like

1105
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: they're trying to distance themselves from Ryan Fitzpatrick as good

1106
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: as he was. Yeah, I would say the door on

1107
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: the Ryan Fitzpatrick Miami Dolphins relationship is closed, but it's

1108
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: only slightly a jar. And that's because Ryan wants to

1109
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: compete for a chance to start somewhere, and Miami is

1110
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: not that place because they've already General manager Chris Bruer

1111
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: has already told everyone who will listen to a tongue,

1112
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: I law is the starter. So Ryan, who's a competitor

1113
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: and wants to play and loves to play, he's gonna

1114
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: look around to see if there are any opportunity play.

1115
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Denver is a team that that makes sense if they

1116
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: don't do something, uh, Deshaun watsonish uh. If they don't

1117
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: make a trade for a you know, some some better

1118
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: quarterback through luck Us through Lock is in a competition

1119
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: with Ryan Fitzpatrick. In my opinion, he loses that competition. Yeah. Uh,

1120
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, Ryan Fitzpatrick is you know, he's a smart guy.

1121
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: He's an experienced guy. He knows how to basically dispose

1122
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: of these young quarterbacks and he's done it multiple times.

1123
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: He did it to Geno Smith, he did it to

1124
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. He kind of did it, you know, he

1125
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: definitely did it to Josh Rosen in Miami, and he

1126
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: kind of did it last year at to ta Um.

1127
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: From the Dolphin standpoint, they can't have Ryan Fitzpatrick around

1128
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: as the crutch. Eventually, you got to commit to Tuah

1129
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: and the commitment has to be here. What a commitment.

1130
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: You can't go into a game hoping the Till play

1131
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: well and then benching him in the fourth quarter and

1132
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: having Fitzpatrick days the game. It's just not orthodox. It's

1133
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: not sustainable. So you know, they're gonna look at any

1134
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: number of backups. Maybe Brian Hoyer, maybe Jacobe Prisette. There's

1135
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: there's several of them, veteran backup you know, look, let's

1136
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: face it, folks, uh and it's it's the same around

1137
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. If your veteran backup is playing for you,

1138
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna draft high the next year. So it's not

1139
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a good day likely, Armando. I wanted to

1140
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: ask you about the offensive coordinator situation. Obviously we know

1141
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: the Chandra's Highers, and then he's replaced by essentially two

1142
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: guys on the staff already in God's see in Studentsville,

1143
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: who the Bills know very well from his days as

1144
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: a running backs coach up here. But the first question

1145
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: is are they using the same offensive system that Chan

1146
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: operated with? And if not, how much of a change

1147
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: are they anticipating for two to learn and you know,

1148
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,919
Speaker 1: grasp and execute. Yeah, this is the most curious thing

1149
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: about the Dolphins this soft season. It's not the Deshaun

1150
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Watson dynamic. It's this offensive coordinator or situations. You got

1151
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: to understand that. At their end of season press conference,

1152
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: Brian Flores was asked is everyone coming back, meaning on

1153
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: his coaching staff, and he said absolutely, I expect everyone back.

1154
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: The next day. Jan Gaily is out and they are

1155
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: announcing that. You know they've parted ways quote unquote Jan Gaily.

1156
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: If you looked at it. If you watched any of

1157
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: his zoom conferences here, he had that I'm not very

1158
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: thrilled to be here. Look, and it was clear he

1159
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 1: was on his way out. So they went out and

1160
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: not hired one offensive coordinator, not two offensive coordinator. There's

1161
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: a chance that could be basically three guys, because you're

1162
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: forgetting Charlie Fry was hired as the quarterbacks coach, and

1163
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna have stay in the offense as well, according

1164
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: to the team. And what's interesting is that all those

1165
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 1: three guys will collaborate on chan Gailey's offense. Shan Gailey

1166
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: is gone, but he leaves the offense behind. They're gonna

1167
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:49,919
Speaker 1: incorporate that offense, you know, add some tweaks here and there,

1168
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of changes here and there, but basically

1169
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts of it is the Chan Gailey offense.

1170
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 1: And that's because who already knows the Chan Gailey offense

1171
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: and you don't want to start from square one. And

1172
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: it hasn't been decided who's calling plays yet, or has it,

1173
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 1: I think internally, well I know internally it's been decided,

1174
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: but they are they're not announcing that. They haven't said

1175
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: that My guest is, my educated guess is that George Gottsy,

1176
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: who has been an offensive coordinator in the past, he

1177
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: will call a play and who might be is two

1178
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: h And that those this offensive staff that we're talking about,

1179
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: how many of their draft picks are going to be

1180
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: on their side of the ball. The three pick, the

1181
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: eighteenth pick, how many of those are going to go

1182
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: toward the offense? Oh no, you know, unlike the Jets,

1183
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,919
Speaker 1: Unlike the Patriots who have a ton of cap room,

1184
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are like eighth or nineteen the NFL in

1185
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 1: cap room, but it's only at like twenty four million dollars,

1186
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: so they're not able to load up on veteran wide

1187
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: receivers or veteran offensive players. They're gonna have to use

1188
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: draft pick. They've got two in the first round and

1189
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: two in the second round. And I wouldn't be surprised

1190
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 1: if their first one is a wide receiver. And I

1191
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if they're all all four or our

1192
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: offensive players. And then should we make anything of the

1193
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins being among the teams linked to a deal for

1194
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson now or do you think that's far less

1195
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: likely than the Watson sweepstakes. Yeah, that's not happening. I

1196
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: spoke to someone very well connected in the Russell Wilson

1197
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 1: camp yesterday and as Adam Schefter reported, they have four

1198
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:57,919
Speaker 1: teams that they would be willing to go to if

1199
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: a trade is done, if if Russell Wilson leaves Seattle,

1200
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: and none of those four is the Miami Dolphins. That's

1201
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: not the directions. What did you make of that list

1202
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: of four teams. It's it's kind of a cryptic list,

1203
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: isn't it, Armando. It's weird, actually, is what it is.

1204
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean, on the one hand, I'm you know, I'm

1205
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: happy to stay in Seattle. But on the other hand,

1206
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 1: I have four other teams that I'd like to play for.

1207
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: It's like it's like, again, let's go back to the

1208
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, the husband wife analogy. Honey, I love you,

1209
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm committed to you for life, but there's these four

1210
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 1: other people that you know, I could potentially be married

1211
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 1: too if if I came to it. And that's get you. Yeah,

1212
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: And it was it was the Saints, the Cowboys, uh,

1213
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 1: the Bears, And there was another one was it Carolina Raiders?

1214
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 1: The Raiders, That's who it was that strange. And by

1215
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 1: the way, you know the Cowboys, Prescott, they're gonna have

1216
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I believe the Raiders have a quarterback. Uh,

1217
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of weird that a quarterback is kind of

1218
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 1: growing other quarterbacks do their incumbents kind of under the bus.

1219
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't help the quarterback fraternity, that's for sure. Yeah,

1220
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: it's not making them any friends that that's exactly right.

1221
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: What are there any players on the Miami roster that

1222
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 1: because of their salary cap situations, they've got room? Of course,

1223
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: but with this free agency and and this the market

1224
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: that maybe flooded, are there anybody that the Dolphins might

1225
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: part ways with? It might be a surprise. Um, well,

1226
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna look at the safety spot and they're gonna

1227
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 1: look at that very closely. And Eric Row and Bobby McCain, um,

1228
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, I I wouldn't be surprised if one of

1229
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 1: those guys goes. As far as how they create pallary

1230
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: cap space, you know they can. They spent a lot

1231
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 1: of money last year. They spent two hundred and seventeen

1232
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: million dollars in free agency contract over one hundred million

1233
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 1: of that gut fully guaranteed and one way to create

1234
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,719
Speaker 1: cap room. Is they can restructure some of those turning

1235
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, BA base salary into pro rated timing bonus.

1236
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 1: They really can create up to thirty million extra dollars

1237
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: in cap space and be at a fifty seven mark.

1238
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: But it's hard for me to imagine them going that far. Look,

1239
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: this is still a building process for the Dolphins. I

1240
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: don't think they're at the let's fill in with the

1241
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: one guy and pay him big time because we're one

1242
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 1: player away from something big. The Dolphins are not one

1243
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 1: player away. And then last one for me, Armando, where

1244
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: do things go with the Xavian Howard situation? Very interesting? Yeah,

1245
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: Davian Howard was the second highest paid cornerback in the

1246
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: NFL when he signed his contract. He's got four year

1247
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: left on four years left on that contract. The Dolphins

1248
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 1: made Byron Jones the first highest paid cornerback in the

1249
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: NFL when he signed a new contract with them last year.

1250
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: It was part of that two hundred and seventeen million

1251
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: dollars spending spree I just talked about, and Xavie and

1252
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: Howard looked at that and goes, really, I really that guy,

1253
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: that guy is gonna be paid more than me, I

1254
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 1: don't think so. So Xavian Howard want to be the

1255
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: highest paid cornerback on the team, is not the highest

1256
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 1: paid player on the team, and he wants to be

1257
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 1: in the range of a Jalen Ramsey. He's making twenty

1258
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: million dollars a year and although he he wants all this,

1259
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: although he's got four years it's left on his contract.

1260
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 1: So he's going to tell the team that h and

1261
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,679
Speaker 1: what happens next will be, you know, get the popcorn tie.

1262
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: Let's think what happened, and he could be facing NFL

1263
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: penalties for some of his off the field conduct. I

1264
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,719
Speaker 1: know he got cleared legally, but he could be facing

1265
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: some of that too next year, right, yeah, Yeah, My

1266
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: guess is that that's not going to happen because I mean,

1267
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: it's it's it's uh, it's hard to make the case

1268
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 1: that you need to face h NFL conduct policy, you know,

1269
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: suspension when you're not really and you were, you were

1270
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: a person of interest and then you weren't, So really,

1271
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 1: what was it? What did you do? The police wanted

1272
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 1: to talk to you and then they didn't. I'm not

1273
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: sure that that rises to the level of suspension. Fair enough,

1274
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: thank you? Thanks for the time. As always, we appreciate

1275
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: you bringing us up to speed on the offseason. Doing so.

1276
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: The Dolphins will be in touch, sir. It's always my

1277
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 1: pleasure man, all right. Armando Salguero, Miami Herald columnist and

1278
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: Radio dot Com NFL insider joining us on the line there,

1279
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 1: and they got They have two of the highest paid

1280
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: corners in the league, and the guy that's the second

1281
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 1: highest paid wants to be the highest paid. Has had

1282
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: some off the field stuff that fortunately for him went away. Um,

1283
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: but he's coming off a giant season. I mean he

1284
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 1: had eight or nine interceptions. I think he was among those.

1285
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: Will good. All I care about is those They can

1286
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: pay those guys all they want, as long as the

1287
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: Bills light them up for fifty six. Everything right, because

1288
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:57,440
Speaker 1: they did well right, And it's hard not to see

1289
01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: it is, but it's hard not to think going back

1290
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 1: to that game Steve in week seventeen, knowing what was

1291
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: on the line for the Dolphins, which was everything we

1292
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 1: need to win to get in they could get in

1293
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:12,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it almost looked as though they were a

1294
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: beaten team because they knew their relief pitcher wasn't in

1295
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: the bullpen. Do you know what I mean? Like, as

1296
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: soon as the game went the wrong way, when it

1297
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:25,600
Speaker 1: was fourteen to three, they checked it. I said, the

1298
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: game's over. It's over. It was three and a half

1299
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:34,600
Speaker 1: quarters left. But they had no belief that too it

1300
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: could come back and win the game for them. And

1301
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick wasn't an option because he didn't make the trip

1302
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: because he had diagnosed with COVID. It's that people's not

1303
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: a mentally tough for all the analytics we talk about

1304
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: and and the draft picks and the talent level and

1305
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 1: the and the the raw skill sets and and you

1306
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 1: know that XS and os and when to take a

1307
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: time out and how to work the two minute drill

1308
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: and all the stuff that is tangible that you can

1309
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: like have a st strategy four and all that fans

1310
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of and certainly the media people,

1311
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: some of the media people don't get this. How big

1312
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: a difference belief makes you. It was palpable in that

1313
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: week seventeen game for the Dolphins. They win, they're in right.

1314
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: And maybe you couldn't see this as well on television

1315
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: because again no fans in the stands, but you were

1316
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: in this building and I was in this building when

1317
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,679
Speaker 1: they were playing that game. The body language the Dolphins

1318
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:34,679
Speaker 1: players spoke volumes. Yeah, I'm looking at those guys, going, well,

1319
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: they think the game's over, Yeah, like they even want

1320
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: to beat. The defense was a number one scoring defense

1321
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: in the league. They were hard to beat, and they

1322
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: just had and you could they had no faith that

1323
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 1: if they gave up two touchdowns they were gonna be

1324
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: able to win that game. And the Bills got up

1325
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: fourteen three and they were after that it was over. Now,

1326
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: having said that, I still think the Bills. You know,

1327
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,640
Speaker 1: the Bills had no compassion at all for him. Man.

1328
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 1: They hit the gas and shifted gears and we're lighting

1329
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:09,560
Speaker 1: you up, Matt. Fourth quarter, Matt Barkley hung three touchdowns

1330
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: on those guys. Uh. Antonio Williams ran through him like

1331
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: they were like they were junior persons. Uh. They you know,

1332
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie was running through him with a punt and

1333
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 1: then two touchdown catches. I mean, he was crushing and

1334
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: they crushed that team. They crushed him, And I think

1335
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,680
Speaker 1: it was that that alone, in a game of that magnitude,

1336
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 1: will tell you how big a difference confidence makes and

1337
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: the belief and could because it permeated the entire club

1338
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: For the Dolphins, Yeah, I haven't seen body language like

1339
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 1: that in a long time in a game with that

1340
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: much time left on the clock and the deficits eleven points.

1341
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: It was. It was eye open. I was like, Wow,

1342
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: that's and I and I I hate to say it,

1343
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,560
Speaker 1: it said. It said a lot about the lack of

1344
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 1: mental toughness that that team had, but it said even

1345
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: more about what we should view twas, which isn't a

1346
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. Don't I agree? I agree? Great guy, Great.

1347
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 1: Those guys know he's not franchise material and they see

1348
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: him every day. This think about this transpose that Josh

1349
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: as a rookie, at least you thought, well, he's gonna

1350
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: do something. You know this guy, he'll he'll make a throw,

1351
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna you know, Tad doesn't have that top end physicality.

1352
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 1: He can't take off and run with it. He's not

1353
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna do the he's not gonna outrun six guys. He's

1354
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: not gonna throw the ball over the top of the

1355
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 1: stadium to get it to your guy. Right. He's just

1356
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 1: not there. Yeah, and they knew it. He can't make

1357
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: something happen by himself can't. Everything else has to be flicking.

1358
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what for it to work. The

1359
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins more than any other team in the league know

1360
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 1: what that looks like in Buffalo, because Buffalo's got a

1361
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 1: guy that can and lift the stadium by himself and

1362
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: throw you out. He's done it to the Dolphins time

1363
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: and time again. All right, break time for us. When

1364
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: we come back, we will open the fan Friday ob

1365
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:16,600
Speaker 1: L mail bag and see what other questions you have

1366
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: for Steve and myself when we return. I'm one Bills

1367
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: Live for is anybody collid to health? It's Buffalo Bills Radium.

1368
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bills five, first proph team. Gast

1369
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: you time to open up the OBL Fan Friday mail

1370
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: bag and we're gonna lead off here with Mike Steve,

1371
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,719
Speaker 1: who's got a question about running backs. He said, who's

1372
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 1: the one running back you'd like to see the Bills get?

1373
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 1: And you know you can run up and down the

1374
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:03,560
Speaker 1: list of free agency here. I think if they do

1375
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: add there, they would probably do it with a player

1376
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 1: that is high on the high end of being an

1377
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: explosive type player, a runaway from defenders player when he

1378
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: gets into the open field, So who fits that bill?

1379
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 1: You can look at a guy like Matt Brita, who

1380
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: I believe, as a free agent in Miami, couldn't get

1381
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: on the field last year as they preferred to go

1382
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:29,639
Speaker 1: with Myles Gaskin, a relative unknown who became the starting

1383
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: running back for them. There are others out there that

1384
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: have great time speed. I don't think you should anticipate

1385
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 1: if the Bills do decide to add a veteran running back,

1386
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,759
Speaker 1: that it's going to be anybody that commands a sizable

1387
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: salary in any way, shape or form. And some of

1388
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 1: the names on the list that our MSG viewers are

1389
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: looking at right now, most of the top five names

1390
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 1: would command that. You know, like Aaron Jones is going

1391
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 1: to get eight and a half nine million dollars a year,

1392
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,759
Speaker 1: Chris Carson maybe not quite as much, but a sizable salary.

1393
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake's only twenty six years old. He'll probably get

1394
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 1: a good deal. James Connor not doesn't fit the physical

1395
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: skill set profile that the Bills would be interested in.

1396
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that Marlon Mack does either, so they'll

1397
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,760
Speaker 1: be pretty far down the list that would be a

1398
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 1: budgetary signing. Wouldn't you think, Steve, if they add a

1399
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: running back through free agency would be a budgetary signing

1400
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: down the line. Yeah, I think so too. I think

1401
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,680
Speaker 1: they'd be below market value. The guy on that list

1402
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: that jumps out to me is Leonard Fournette. His skill

1403
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: sets really good. He's bounced around. You might have to

1404
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: dig into that to find out why he has not

1405
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 1: been able to find a home. Yeah. But yeah, he's

1406
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 1: got some skills and he's a big, physical, fast guy,

1407
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: and he might bring something to the table for you

1408
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: to you know, if you can get him for the

1409
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: right number. Yeah, and he definitely showed out in the

1410
01:20:54,439 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: postseason for sure. All those guys old depends on where

1411
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: the Bills sit with the cap and how committed they

1412
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,600
Speaker 1: are to refurbishing that. I don't think they're going to

1413
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 1: do anything with Zach Moss and Devin Singletary. No. I

1414
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: think they liked those two guys. Now, certainly those are

1415
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 1: guys that can go forty or fifty yards for a touchdown,

1416
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 1: but they won't go seventy five, you know what I mean. Uh,

1417
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 1: they're not out running defensive backs to the end zone.

1418
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: But but they are shifty and um as you said,

1419
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 1: as we saw just spite that despite the drop screen

1420
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: pass in the in the AFC Championship Game, Devin Singletary

1421
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 1: catches the ball real well. And I don't twenty fifth

1422
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: in the entire league and catch rate, right, So I

1423
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 1: don't know that, and I don't know that Zach Moss

1424
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: is any different than that. So yeah, um, I don't

1425
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me that they I mean, they're there. It's

1426
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: not a hesitation at all for me with them in

1427
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: the passing game at all. I think they both catch

1428
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 1: it well. Now running routes maybe, but I mean they're

1429
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,680
Speaker 1: not you know, they'ren' Marshall Falk or anybody like that.

1430
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, they're they're everything you want, I

1431
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: think at this point for the Bill's offense. So I

1432
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: don't think the Bills going to break the bank there.

1433
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: And I've we've said it a million times. I had

1434
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: a guy on my timeline and my Twitter feed asked

1435
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: me if I thought getting a running back would help

1436
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: fix the running game, and I've gone on record, you

1437
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna say, No, you fix the offensive line,

1438
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:17,600
Speaker 1: that'll fix them. And I think that's where the priorities

1439
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: will lie first and foremost in free agency for the Bills,

1440
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: I think they probably, I mean, they'll probably work to

1441
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: get at least Daryl Williams and John Feliciano back in

1442
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 1: the fold. If they only get one of them, well

1443
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 1: then perhaps at that point in time, they'll look in

1444
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 1: free agency to find an affordable option, and then if

1445
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: that comes up short, they're definitely investing an early draft

1446
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: choice in an offensive lineman for sure. You know one

1447
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: thing we didn't get into. We had a guy call

1448
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 1: in our mail bag and he actually had a phone

1449
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 1: call Bob, and he asked about that. How why are

1450
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: the Bills going to Kansas City again? Why are we

1451
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: playing Pittsburgh again? And the schedule is set up, what's

1452
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: gonna happen? And how are they gonna work it with

1453
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,679
Speaker 1: the seventeenth game? That's a real question. I haven't well,

1454
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:04,639
Speaker 1: they if I remember right, they alternate year over year,

1455
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 1: which means one team. I can't remember. If it's an

1456
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 1: entire conference, I think the AFC will. No, it's not

1457
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: the entire conference, but you will alternate whether you're ninth

1458
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 1: game is away or if your ninth game is home

1459
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: every year, So one year, your seventeenth game will be

1460
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: an away game, So you'll have nine away, eid at home,

1461
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: and then the next year you'll have nine home, eight away.

1462
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 1: That'll last about three years because then you're gonna have

1463
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: because if it starts out that US and the Dolphins

1464
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: team X, team X, we're home this year and their

1465
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: home this year. So next year they're both away. Now

1466
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: they're both home. But what happens when they play each other? Finally? Yeah,

1467
01:23:55,800 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah? Well, no, I think, well,

1468
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: because you could it will probably pick a team from

1469
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:04,759
Speaker 1: the other because then you're probably because then you're probably

1470
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: playing them, you're probably playing them, UM in a regular

1471
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 1: schedule rocase, I think they would end I think they

1472
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 1: would make that game a game against a team in

1473
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 1: the other conference, in a division that you are not

1474
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 1: scheduled to play that year. The question is how do

1475
01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: you determine which team that is? Is it another first

1476
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 1: place team first place first place? UM, like you do

1477
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 1: with the two open spots where you play the other

1478
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: two division teams that you're not playing conference, The Bills

1479
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:35,839
Speaker 1: would end up playing like Green Bay in that scenario.

1480
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and I'm just guessing here, but it would

1481
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 1: it would make sense to make it a team in

1482
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 1: the other conference, it would be. In this case, it

1483
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 1: would either be Green Bay or it would be let's see,

1484
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: you're assuming first place, first place, Yes, it would be

1485
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: green Bay. What's the other one who won the NFC West?

1486
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: Its Seattle in the NFC West. I think they did

1487
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 1: because they hosted the Rams's Seattle. We'd be Seattle. Yeah,

1488
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 1: so we play se again and we're gonna maybe away

1489
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: or home, right, I don't know. Yeah, Yeah, that's all

1490
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 1: to be ironed out once they get the seventeenth game

1491
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: on the schedule, because as it currently sits, it does

1492
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 1: not exist as if yet, although we all anticipate it

1493
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: is in fact coming. Another one. Here's from Nick. How

1494
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 1: far can we realistically move up in the first round

1495
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 1: or the draft via a trade? Are there any players

1496
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: or positions that you think would be worth moving up

1497
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: that far forward? I think we can all agree because

1498
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 1: these are the facts. Brandon Bean moves up the board

1499
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 1: more than he moves down, you know, moved up to

1500
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 1: get Cody Ford, moved up to get Tremaine Edmonds, moved

1501
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,400
Speaker 1: up to get Josh Allen, moved up to get Dawson

1502
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: knox Um. He moves up more than he moves down,

1503
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 1: but he only does that. He only moves up like

1504
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: three spots. It's not like he jumped from thirty to two. Well, right,

1505
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: he did it in stages. Yeah, that's right to get

1506
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. That's right. Um, and used a player in

1507
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 1: Cordy Glenn to do it. But yes, you're right. And

1508
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 1: well he moved up almost a full round to go

1509
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 1: get Dawson Knox though he wasn't sitting in the middle

1510
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 1: around four and went up to the bottom around three

1511
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: to go get Dawson Knocks. So he'll be aggressive when

1512
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 1: he needs to. I think the answer here is hard

1513
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 1: to pin down for you because I think if Brandon

1514
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 1: Being decides to move up the board, it's because there's

1515
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: a premier talent that they anticipated being off the board sliding.

1516
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:33,919
Speaker 1: And I'll give you a perfect example, Tremaine Edmonds. The Bills,

1517
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:38,799
Speaker 1: I believe had Tremaine Edmonds as a top ten talent

1518
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 1: on their board. As soon as he fell out of

1519
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: the top ten or eleven picks, they were on the

1520
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: phone and they're calling everybody that's between eleven and twenty

1521
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 1: saying hey, and they were at like twenty, right, that's

1522
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:56,599
Speaker 1: where the Bills were. Well, they will know because they

1523
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 1: had moved up to twelve after they traded Cordy Glenn

1524
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. They moved up from twenty two to twelve,

1525
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: and then they made the next trade to go from

1526
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:11,679
Speaker 1: twelve up to seven with Tampa, and then I can't

1527
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: even remember what they still had left to part with

1528
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,680
Speaker 1: in terms of draft capital to make the deal with

1529
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 1: the Ravens to go up to sixteen, right and ultimately

1530
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: get Tremaine Emmonds. But Edmonds, I firmly believe they they

1531
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 1: had him as a top ten talent. They saw him

1532
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 1: sliding and said, get on the horn, call everybody between

1533
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:33,680
Speaker 1: eleven and twenty and see who we can do a

1534
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: deal with to see who we can get up there

1535
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: and get him. And fortunately he lasted all the way

1536
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: to sixteen and they got him. That is the kind

1537
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: of slide that I think would prompt Brandon being to

1538
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 1: try to move up from thirty and what and would

1539
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: would that prompt also be tied to a position group,

1540
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 1: like he's not gonna jump up there. I don't know

1541
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 1: if it's tied to a position group. I think it's

1542
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: tied to where they have those players rank, Like that

1543
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:03,560
Speaker 1: kid I was asking Tony Dungee about yesterday, Jeremiah Owusu

1544
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 1: Okamoa orca more. I'm gonna mess up his last name

1545
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 1: because I have a mental block on it. Notre Dame

1546
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: linebacker kid Um. I'll get his name down by April.

1547
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: But he's widely seen as a top fifteen talent. If

1548
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:26,759
Speaker 1: that kid's still on the board at twenty, right, Brandon

1549
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,599
Speaker 1: Bean's on the phone because it's a it's a value

1550
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 1: that exceeds where he currently sits on the board, and

1551
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 1: it's enough to prompt him to say, let's go get him,

1552
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: because now I only got to go up ten picks

1553
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: to get a premier player who's a plug in play

1554
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 1: guy who can take Matt Malano's roll and off we go. Yeah,

1555
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: he could take Malano's rolling and that would do offensive

1556
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 1: to do it? Yeah, all right, something like that would

1557
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,120
Speaker 1: do it. But it may not necessarily be a linebacker.

1558
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 1: It could be maybe there's a pass rusher that's falling

1559
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 1: precipitously that wasn't anticipated for whatever reason, you know what

1560
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 1: I mean. And I think if those kinds of things happen,

1561
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 1: and on the Bill's board, he's twenty picks higher and

1562
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,240
Speaker 1: he's still sliding. They're on the phone like that's just

1563
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: how they operate. So that's probably I don't know if

1564
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: that's an exact answer, Nick, but that's kind of how

1565
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 1: I see it playing out break time for us. More

1566
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 1: of your questions from the OBL fan mail bag when

1567
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:23,679
Speaker 1: we return here on one Bill's Live presented by Kali

1568
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: to help. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio on Bill five Bridge

1569
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:46,680
Speaker 1: Raps to jest with you on a Friday, an OBL

1570
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,360
Speaker 1: Friday fan mail Bag to be exact. Coming up at

1571
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 1: about ten minutes, we'll be talking with Brady Henderson, ESPN,

1572
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:57,719
Speaker 1: NFL Nations Seahawkspeed Reporter to kind of get a feel

1573
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 1: for just how fractured the Relationshi Chip is between the

1574
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks and Russell Wilson, who has not formally asked for

1575
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 1: a trade, but said, hey, if you're thinking about one,

1576
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 1: here's the places i'd like to go. Chicago is lovely

1577
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 1: this time of year. I'd go there, or maybe Las

1578
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,519
Speaker 1: Vegas and you know, play some craps. Who knows I got.

1579
01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: I got some choices if you want to know who

1580
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 1: they are. True. So we'll be talking with him in

1581
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 1: about ten minutes or so, but we go back to

1582
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: the Friday fan mail bag. Ray wants to know Chris

1583
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 1: and Steve or sorry, we're up to Mark. We're gonna

1584
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: jump ahead to Mark. Here, he says, Chris and Steve,

1585
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 1: which side of the ball benefited the most from not

1586
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 1: having fans in the stands this year? It seems like

1587
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:42,600
Speaker 1: audibles were able to be heard clearly by everyone on

1588
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,560
Speaker 1: the field. I was at both Bills playoff games. It

1589
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:55,679
Speaker 1: was quite loud. Thanks. I would say the offense didn't

1590
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 1: have to go silent count all year, Steve, if there

1591
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: were no fans in the stands, So I would tend

1592
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:04,560
Speaker 1: to think it would be good for them, But I

1593
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 1: don't know that any I think probably defenses did benefited

1594
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 1: as much as anybody, um, because they could hear those calls.

1595
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 1: You could hear the calls, UM, and the home field

1596
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:23,559
Speaker 1: advantage evaporated this year. It was like a fifty fifty

1597
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:26,559
Speaker 1: split home and away, right, so every game was kind

1598
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:28,160
Speaker 1: of a a neutral side. The home field was a

1599
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:30,640
Speaker 1: little bit, I was like a three percent difference or

1600
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:32,960
Speaker 1: something like that, right, And if and if you remember

1601
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:37,480
Speaker 1: early in the season, there were concerns about opposing defenses

1602
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 1: healing hearing all the pre snap chatter from the coach,

1603
01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: from the players, uh, most notably the quarterback. And so

1604
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 1: what happened The league allowed home stadiums to play their

1605
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:55,320
Speaker 1: in house crowdsound, right, then they didn't. They allowed them

1606
01:31:55,360 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: to raise to prevent that from happening. So that would

1607
01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 1: have been an advantage for the defense and in the

1608
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 1: eyes of the league anyway. Right. And so as big

1609
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 1: an advantage as you get, you also as big as

1610
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,720
Speaker 1: a disadvantage as you get by being on the road,

1611
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 1: you also gain it when you're at home, and vice versa,

1612
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 1: because whatever's lost at home is gained on the road.

1613
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: So I don't think anybody benefited from he had as

1614
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 1: many home games you did road games well, and the

1615
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 1: units that were most unprepared once it got to the

1616
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: playoffs and suddenly fans were in the stands where the

1617
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 1: offense is. Clearly Baltimore had a devil of a time here.

1618
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 1: They had a back to back false start penalties when

1619
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,839
Speaker 1: they were backed up under their own goal posts. Remember

1620
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 1: that here in the playoff game, and and and the

1621
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 1: Bills had trouble. Josh said it after the game. We

1622
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: had trouble with how loud it was because they hadn't

1623
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 1: done it all year, and now all of a sudden,

1624
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: you're the most important game of the year, and it's like, oh,

1625
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:52,560
Speaker 1: here go silent count the whole You go in with

1626
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,719
Speaker 1: ten percent capacity, You're thinking, okay, it's gonna be ten percent,

1627
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:00,680
Speaker 1: and then it's just like just like what Yeah, al

1628
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 1: Michael's like he done it all year. Yeah, al michaels

1629
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 1: like it sounds like sixty seven thousand. So I think

1630
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 1: that was a surprise and shock for the players more

1631
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 1: so than it was a real issue. They just weren't

1632
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:15,439
Speaker 1: used to doing it. Yeah, hadn't done it for four months.

1633
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:21,000
Speaker 1: And how about Bolt, you know, getting getting drowned out

1634
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: for two false starts and consecutive plays. That's that's that's

1635
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,000
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. But the Bills, the shoe was on the

1636
01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:29,280
Speaker 1: other foot for the Bills the next week. An arrowhead, right,

1637
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:32,160
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. But yeah, so that would be our

1638
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 1: answer to that one. We have to take a break

1639
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 1: because when we come back, we will have one. Brady Henderson,

1640
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 1: the ESPN NFL Nation Seahawks reporter, also a contributor to

1641
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:49,120
Speaker 1: NFL Live and ESPN's Sports Centers, covered the Seahawks wor

1642
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,360
Speaker 1: over ten years. It's gonna tell us just what the

1643
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:55,800
Speaker 1: heck is going on in Seattle and why Russ might

1644
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 1: not be cooking there come next season. We'll talk to

1645
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:01,680
Speaker 1: him next Here on Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health,

1646
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:20,799
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Bills Radio Network Sports, Your Sports

1647
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:23,680
Speaker 1: Update from One Bill's Drive. Russell Wilson's unhappiness is not

1648
01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 1: done unnoticed around the NFL. For a report from NFL Network,

1649
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,600
Speaker 1: more than ten teams that have called the Seahawks to

1650
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 1: inquire about Wilson's availability. He has a no trade clause

1651
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 1: in his contract, meaning if it came to a point

1652
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:38,240
Speaker 1: where the two sides needed to part ways, the Seahawks

1653
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:40,680
Speaker 1: would be limited in their ability to strike a deal

1654
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:43,640
Speaker 1: that works out for both parties. Wilson agent said if

1655
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,000
Speaker 1: a trade out of Seattle came to Fruition, the veteran

1656
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 1: QB would only consider the Cowboys, Saints, Raiders, and Bears. Meanwhile,

1657
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 1: in Houston, the Texans stance on refusing to trade superstar

1658
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 1: quarterback to Shaun Watson remains unchanged. Texans are carrying on

1659
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: with their unwillingness to talk about trading Watson with other teams.

1660
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:05,320
Speaker 1: Some suitors have resorted to leaving voicemails with their respective

1661
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:08,719
Speaker 1: trade offers. Head coach David Culley recently spoke with Watson,

1662
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 1: though the two have yet to meet in person. The

1663
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 1: meeting between Cully and Watson did nothing to change Watson's

1664
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:17,639
Speaker 1: desire to be traded. When dozens of high profile names

1665
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 1: hit NFL free agency, they're often competing against each other

1666
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:24,560
Speaker 1: for the best contracts. This offseason, however, player leadership is

1667
01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: urging free agents to work together. According to ESPN, NFL

1668
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:32,040
Speaker 1: Players Association Executive director to Morris Smith told NFL agents

1669
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 1: this week it's okay to kalude in order to get

1670
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 1: the best possible deals for their clients. The Devils, meanwhile,

1671
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:41,879
Speaker 1: in hockey, beat the Sabers four to three in overtime

1672
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:44,920
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, Devils snapping a three game skid by

1673
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,639
Speaker 1: beating an injury depleted Sabers team who was without captain

1674
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,240
Speaker 1: Jack Eichel, who was scratched with a lower body injury,

1675
01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:54,760
Speaker 1: suffered in warmups, and also lost goaltender lenas Olmark to

1676
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: a lower body injury after stopping all fifteen shots he

1677
01:35:58,280 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 1: faced in the first period. Jeff Skinner's still a healthy

1678
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:04,639
Speaker 1: scratch for the third straight game. Buffalo returns to action

1679
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 1: tomorrow when they host the Flyers for a two game

1680
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:11,880
Speaker 1: set over the weekend. That is your sports update from

1681
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:14,519
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you our

1682
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 1: number three of the show as we're broadcasting live from

1683
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studios in Orchard Park at One Bill's Drive

1684
01:36:20,479 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 1: and joining us on the line right now is ESPN

1685
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 1: NFL Nations Seahawks reporter, also a contributor to ESPN Sports

1686
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 1: Center in NFL Live, covered the Seahawks for a decade.

1687
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:33,719
Speaker 1: It is one Brady Henderson joining us on the line. Brady,

1688
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:35,599
Speaker 1: how you doing you and your family well here during

1689
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:38,040
Speaker 1: this pandemic that we're still living through, waiting for it

1690
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 1: to end until God knows when. Yeah, do it. Well,

1691
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:45,040
Speaker 1: my mom just got her second COVID shot, so that's

1692
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:47,519
Speaker 1: a release. And you know, I never made it out

1693
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 1: to Orchard Park when the Seahawks played the Bills last

1694
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,560
Speaker 1: year because we were not traveling for away game. So

1695
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 1: I was disappointed by that. I was hoping to experience that.

1696
01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:57,280
Speaker 1: But the next best thing is talking to you guys

1697
01:36:57,360 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 1: from Orchard Park. Oh wow, look at that he's buttering

1698
01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 1: us up and we were in the same boat. No travel,

1699
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,559
Speaker 1: We get it. How does Russell Wilson feel about Orchard Park?

1700
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:09,479
Speaker 1: Probably not as good as uh yeah, probably not that good.

1701
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:11,840
Speaker 1: That was one of his rougher games of the season,

1702
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:14,960
Speaker 1: I think, admit, his worst turnover funk of his career

1703
01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 1: and so probably not as fat. And it was there

1704
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 1: anything I read your article about, you know, the fact

1705
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 1: that he went into the meetings during that break they

1706
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:23,760
Speaker 1: lost two games in a row. He turned it over

1707
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:26,200
Speaker 1: seven times in those two games of the Bills and

1708
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 1: then the Rams, and and he went in and said, listen,

1709
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:32,160
Speaker 1: we need to do something and offered his you know,

1710
01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 1: some you know what he thought they should do or

1711
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:35,679
Speaker 1: some of what they do. And he was a little

1712
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:38,720
Speaker 1: bit he felt like they dismit. They were dismissive of

1713
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:40,720
Speaker 1: what he had to contribute. I think that's where the

1714
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:44,880
Speaker 1: rift first started to show itself for him and for

1715
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: any other guys in the organization. You think that's where

1716
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 1: it started, well, I think that the rift started. I

1717
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 1: think that this has been going on for a while now,

1718
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 1: and that was one of the you know, outward signs

1719
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 1: of that, at least outward in terms of within the organization.

1720
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 1: And you know that detail was reported first in The

1721
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 1: Athletic yesterday and I have since confirmed it that that's

1722
01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 1: my understanding of what happened as well. But you know,

1723
01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 1: this has been going on for a while. You know,

1724
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:13,920
Speaker 1: Wilson's unhappiness with I think several several you know, facets

1725
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 1: over the organization. You heard him say a couple of

1726
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:19,639
Speaker 1: weeks ago, how he wants his pass protection to improve,

1727
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 1: he wants more say in personnel decisions. Those are the

1728
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:25,799
Speaker 1: things that he mentioned publicly. But from what I understand

1729
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 1: and I've been told, his issues go beyond that, and

1730
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:31,720
Speaker 1: a big one is just his role in the offense. This,

1731
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,920
Speaker 1: as you know, has long been a pretty run heavy

1732
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 1: offense under Pete Carroll relative to the rest of the

1733
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:40,600
Speaker 1: past happy NFL. And you know what was going on

1734
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 1: right around the time of that meeting, I think is

1735
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 1: pretty instructive there. And you know they're remember they opened

1736
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:48,519
Speaker 1: up the offense at the start of this season. Over

1737
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:51,240
Speaker 1: the first ten weeks, they dropped back to pass more

1738
01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 1: than any team in the NFL. And this came after

1739
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:57,679
Speaker 1: Wilson had privately and publicly lobbied for them to open

1740
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 1: up the offense. He heard him, you know, indoor the

1741
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:02,040
Speaker 1: whole idea of let Russ cook, and they were doing that,

1742
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:04,720
Speaker 1: and then what happened was they kind of hit a

1743
01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 1: wall there offensively, Wilson got in that turnover funk, and

1744
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 1: right before that Thursday night game they had that meeting,

1745
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:14,679
Speaker 1: and in that Thursday night game in week eleven against Arizona,

1746
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,800
Speaker 1: that's when they really started reverting back to their more

1747
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 1: familiar style, which is a run heavy offense. And they were,

1748
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, the number one team in terms of

1749
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:25,800
Speaker 1: drop back rate over the first ten weeks, and then

1750
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:28,559
Speaker 1: over the finals seven weeks of the regular season they

1751
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 1: were sixteen. So they really started reverting back to what

1752
01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 1: they were accustomed to doing. And I don't know those

1753
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:36,200
Speaker 1: specifics of what was discussed in that meeting, but I

1754
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 1: would imagine that a lot of it pertained to Wilson

1755
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 1: wanting to sort of keep his foot on the gas

1756
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:45,920
Speaker 1: and keep the offense opened, and Carol wanting to run

1757
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,680
Speaker 1: the ball more. And all being told, they it was

1758
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 1: a tough stretch that was three out of four. They

1759
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 1: lost an overtime game to Arizona, they beat San Francisco,

1760
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 1: then they lost to the Bills, and then lost to

1761
01:39:56,160 --> 01:40:00,120
Speaker 1: the Rams, and you know they went one two, one

1762
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:02,560
Speaker 1: and two in their division during that stretch. There's a

1763
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 1: pretty tough stretch. But even at that point, you know,

1764
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:09,439
Speaker 1: they're sitting there at six and three and end up

1765
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:12,559
Speaker 1: going twelve and four to close out the season. That's

1766
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:14,680
Speaker 1: a pretty good season. So there's not really that much

1767
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:18,559
Speaker 1: to panic about in Seattle about how everything's broken. That's

1768
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 1: a that's a good football team. And Pete Carroll does

1769
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:25,040
Speaker 1: know how to build a roster around Russell, you know,

1770
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:30,120
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson to help them be contenders every year. Yeah,

1771
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:32,920
Speaker 1: and that is that is certainly I think the a

1772
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:34,439
Speaker 1: fair way of looking at it. You know, they have

1773
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 1: been in the playoffs pretty much every year, I think,

1774
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 1: all but two years under Pete Carroll and John Schneider.

1775
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:42,479
Speaker 1: They won the NFC West last year at twelve and four.

1776
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:45,360
Speaker 1: I think the way that Russell Wilson looks at it

1777
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 1: is that he has won one Super Bowl in nine seasons,

1778
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:52,920
Speaker 1: and since they went to their second straight Super Bowl

1779
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: after the twenty fourteen season, of course, when they came

1780
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:58,160
Speaker 1: within a yard of repeating. You know, they've been to

1781
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:00,519
Speaker 1: the playoffs five times, but they have not danced past

1782
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: the divisional round. So you know, Russell is a is

1783
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 1: that people close to him have told me he is

1784
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 1: one of the most competitive guys you will ever meet.

1785
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:13,719
Speaker 1: He is obviously very conscious of his legacy and winning

1786
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 1: super Bowls. I think he views himself as you know

1787
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:19,000
Speaker 1: on that. You know, he wants to be Tom Brady.

1788
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 1: You know, his idols are Derek Jeter. I think this

1789
01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:23,759
Speaker 1: was mentioned in the athletics story. You know, his idol

1790
01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:26,080
Speaker 1: is Derek Jeter, and in terms of football players, he

1791
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:28,800
Speaker 1: wants to be Tom Brady. And he realizes that, you know,

1792
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 1: going on, going into his tenth season, he has won

1793
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:35,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And I think to him that is what

1794
01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 1: is driving a lot of this is he doesn't feel

1795
01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:41,040
Speaker 1: like the Seahawks are putting him in the bets position

1796
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,200
Speaker 1: to to reach his long term goals. You heard him

1797
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:44,839
Speaker 1: talk a couple of weeks ago when he was expressing

1798
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 1: his frustrations, you know, talking about my legacy and what

1799
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 1: I want to accomplish. And I don't think it's quincidence

1800
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 1: at all that they came right after he watched Tom

1801
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:56,960
Speaker 1: Brady when his seventh Super Bowl. So you know a

1802
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:59,160
Speaker 1: lot of teams would trade places with the Seahawks and

1803
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 1: would take you know, winning records pretty much every year,

1804
01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:04,800
Speaker 1: playoff appearances every year. But to Wilson, I think he

1805
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:07,640
Speaker 1: sees them as having hit a wall that they have

1806
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:09,720
Speaker 1: not been able to get over. But Brady correct me

1807
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong here, because you know, the scenario that

1808
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 1: you outlined and the Athletic reported on was back in

1809
01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 1: like week ten, week nine, that area mid season, after

1810
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: the season, they change coordinators. It was reported, if I

1811
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:29,719
Speaker 1: remember right, that Russ wanted input on who was hired.

1812
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:33,639
Speaker 1: All indications that I got were that he did have input.

1813
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:39,880
Speaker 1: They hire Shane Waldron. So to me, seeing that, I thought, okay,

1814
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:43,479
Speaker 1: what the hell happened? Because I would see that as

1815
01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:46,960
Speaker 1: somewhat of a smoothing over of things if you go

1816
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 1: in chronological order here, Okay, things a little dicey in

1817
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 1: week nine and ten. He's not happy with how that

1818
01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 1: played out. But here's the team coming to him and saying, yeah,

1819
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 1: give us some input on who you want as the

1820
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 1: new coordinator. Okay, you like this, We're gonna hire this guy.

1821
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:02,400
Speaker 1: Good with that? I mean, was he good with everything?

1822
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 1: With the Shane Waldron? Higher with that? He was? Yeah,

1823
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:08,639
Speaker 1: And you're right, he did say publicly that he wanted

1824
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 1: a place at the table in terms of that search

1825
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,640
Speaker 1: process and that decision, and from what I understand from

1826
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:16,400
Speaker 1: multiple people, he very much had that. And I don't

1827
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if that I don't think that necessarily

1828
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 1: means he you know, hand picked Shane Waldron, but from

1829
01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 1: what I understand, he very much Shane Waldron very much

1830
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:28,560
Speaker 1: had Russell Wilson's endorsement. And so, yeah, you're right, I

1831
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:31,360
Speaker 1: mean that that was I think something that should have

1832
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 1: to some degree smooth things over. But again, I really

1833
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:36,920
Speaker 1: think and I know that this situation has been brewing

1834
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 1: for you know, a lot more than just Week eleven

1835
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:41,000
Speaker 1: of last season, and so I think that there was

1836
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:44,720
Speaker 1: just so much you know, frustration built with Wilson over

1837
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:47,280
Speaker 1: several years that it was it was, it was, and

1838
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 1: is going to take something more than you know, having

1839
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:53,760
Speaker 1: say in the OC higher to really completely smooth things over.

1840
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:55,680
Speaker 1: But that certainly was a good start, and I think

1841
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 1: it does It is a good indication, I think, as

1842
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:01,080
Speaker 1: far as Wilson is concerned that you know, Pete Carroll

1843
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:05,960
Speaker 1: is not going to be you know, the quote unquote

1844
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,320
Speaker 1: dictator of the offense, and you know, that was I

1845
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:10,560
Speaker 1: think a concern in Wilson's camp with the way that

1846
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:13,880
Speaker 1: Carol you know, really kind of button things up starting

1847
01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 1: in week eleven, like I mentioned, and um, you know,

1848
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:19,160
Speaker 1: he there was a power struggle between Pete Carroll and

1849
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,720
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer and obviously the head coach one out there.

1850
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 1: So I think Wilson's camp was concerned about how much

1851
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, influence Carol would have over the offense. And

1852
01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:29,519
Speaker 1: I wonder if they might view the fact that Wilson

1853
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:32,800
Speaker 1: that Carroll gave Wilson some say in that decisions as

1854
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 1: maybe an indication that m he is gonna fully give

1855
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,680
Speaker 1: Shane Waldron the keys to that offense. How accurate is

1856
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:41,479
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson to say that, you know, they haven't protected

1857
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:46,719
Speaker 1: him enough with a good offensive line consistently. Yeah, there's

1858
01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:49,639
Speaker 1: definitely two sides to that story there. He has been sacked.

1859
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:52,040
Speaker 1: I think the stat from ESPN was that he's been

1860
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:55,719
Speaker 1: sacked the most times over a player's first nine seasons

1861
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:58,800
Speaker 1: since the AFL NFL merger. So that's those are some

1862
01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:03,719
Speaker 1: historical numbers there, but uh, some of that is maybe

1863
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:05,639
Speaker 1: a lot of that is a function of the way

1864
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 1: that he plays and you know, his scrambling is uh,

1865
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:10,280
Speaker 1: and you guys know this, it's very much a due

1866
01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:12,719
Speaker 1: alleged sword. He's going to escape a lot of those sacks,

1867
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 1: and he's going to create plays and he's gonna, you know,

1868
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:17,879
Speaker 1: make things happen down the field. Just watching the Seahawks

1869
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 1: for you know, nine seasons that he's been here, so

1870
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,040
Speaker 1: much of their offense has been with Wilson rolling out,

1871
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:25,960
Speaker 1: escaping pressure and finding a receiver deep down the field

1872
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 1: or scrambling himself for extra yardage. And so that's the

1873
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:31,600
Speaker 1: good part of that sort and the other part of

1874
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:34,080
Speaker 1: that is that he's gonna take some some sacks and

1875
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 1: even some sacks that you know, cause them to lose

1876
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,400
Speaker 1: big yardage. And so uh. You know the stat that

1877
01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 1: we have an ESPN there's a pass block win rate

1878
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:45,599
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks are eighth in pass block win rates

1879
01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:48,720
Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen when ESPN began tracking that stat. So

1880
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:51,080
Speaker 1: that that tells you that some of those sacks he

1881
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:53,800
Speaker 1: takes are a function of his playing style. And the

1882
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:57,479
Speaker 1: thing that that strikes me is strange here, Brady, is

1883
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, when when layers typically make it known that

1884
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:07,760
Speaker 1: they're unhappy with their situation. They'll say what bothers them

1885
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,800
Speaker 1: about management or having lack of power and control, whatever

1886
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 1: the case might be, but they don't very often go

1887
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:17,519
Speaker 1: to the lengths that Wilson has gone here. I mean,

1888
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:20,640
Speaker 1: he's essentially thrown his offensive line under the bus. You

1889
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 1: can make an argue argument that he hasn't really treated

1890
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback brethren in the league all that nicely either,

1891
01:46:27,479 --> 01:46:32,439
Speaker 1: saying oh, well, you know, if a trade comes around, Bears, Raiders, Saints, Cowboys,

1892
01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:34,639
Speaker 1: those all sound good to me. I mean, last we checked,

1893
01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:36,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders have a pretty good quarterback in Derek Carr,

1894
01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:40,120
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys, granted he's not under contract, but Dak

1895
01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:42,920
Speaker 1: Prescott's the franchise guy down there. I'm one of those guys.

1896
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, who the hell are you? Russ, Like, what

1897
01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:47,679
Speaker 1: the hell's going on here? And if I'm his offensive line,

1898
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, come on, man, like, what's the deal?

1899
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:55,280
Speaker 1: So I can't I mean, have we reached a level

1900
01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:58,719
Speaker 1: that he's this upset that he's willing to throw teammates

1901
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:00,840
Speaker 1: under the bus another quarter backs in the league. I

1902
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:04,920
Speaker 1: mean that that makes it sound pretty severe. Yeah, I

1903
01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 1: had the same thought with you about both the offensive

1904
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:08,920
Speaker 1: line and about some of those other quarterbacks. You know,

1905
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 1: you gotta wonder what those guys are thinking. And you

1906
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:16,639
Speaker 1: know this, I think that really just highlights how different

1907
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:19,599
Speaker 1: of an approach this is for Wilson. And for nine seasons,

1908
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 1: he has been a guy who will walk up to

1909
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 1: a podium and will put on a smile and will

1910
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:26,479
Speaker 1: tell you that everything is great and that he's always

1911
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 1: looking forward. He's not somebody who dwells on mistakes or

1912
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:32,920
Speaker 1: anything negative. He has never been somebody to really utter

1913
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:35,240
Speaker 1: a critical word before this, or to come close to

1914
01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:37,800
Speaker 1: throwing anybody under the bus, or to air any of

1915
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 1: his grievances. So when he did that a couple of

1916
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:42,559
Speaker 1: weeks ago, that was very much a departure from his norm.

1917
01:47:42,640 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 1: And what that told me was that this has gotten

1918
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 1: to a point where Russell is willing to I don't

1919
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:50,560
Speaker 1: want to stay go full heal, He's not doing that,

1920
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:54,800
Speaker 1: but he is willing to maybe you know, take a

1921
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: little bit of hit to his image in order to

1922
01:47:57,439 --> 01:48:00,400
Speaker 1: get a point across. And now again he's not going,

1923
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, full Darth Vader mode on everybody. And I

1924
01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 1: think the way that the statement read, you know, it

1925
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 1: made it clear that he has not asked for a trade,

1926
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:11,840
Speaker 1: and I think that that was maybe done with you know,

1927
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:13,639
Speaker 1: putting that out there. I think that that was maybe

1928
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 1: done with his sort of image in mind, you know,

1929
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:18,600
Speaker 1: wanting people to know that, you know, this is not

1930
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:21,360
Speaker 1: me totally driving the situation. I'm not I'm not asking

1931
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:23,400
Speaker 1: for a trade, but if it got to that point,

1932
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:26,840
Speaker 1: this is who I would play for. And so, but

1933
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:29,080
Speaker 1: the fact that he is talking the way he is

1934
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:30,519
Speaker 1: and the fact that he is doing this, I think

1935
01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:32,640
Speaker 1: it just tells me that his frustration has reached a

1936
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:34,960
Speaker 1: point where he feels like he has to kind of

1937
01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:38,679
Speaker 1: step outside of his norm. Yeah. And with the Seahawks,

1938
01:48:38,720 --> 01:48:40,960
Speaker 1: they've got about eleven million dollars in cap space, not

1939
01:48:41,080 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 1: a ton of money, and they don't hold a first

1940
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 1: round draft picks. They have to wait till the second round. Well,

1941
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:48,760
Speaker 1: how do you think this offseason is gonna What do

1942
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:50,840
Speaker 1: you think it holds for the roster and how refurbished

1943
01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 1: it'll be coming into next year. Yeah, no first or

1944
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:56,880
Speaker 1: third round pick because of the Jamal Adams trade. They

1945
01:48:56,920 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 1: are not projected to get any compensatory picks. You mentioned

1946
01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:02,720
Speaker 1: the cap space, so you know, in terms of the

1947
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:04,439
Speaker 1: cap space. I think they're better off than a lot

1948
01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:06,360
Speaker 1: of teams. You know, half the league, it seems like,

1949
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:08,920
Speaker 1: is currently over the cap, and they're going to have

1950
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:12,200
Speaker 1: to make some pretty brutal decisions. But still, that's not

1951
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 1: a ton of whatever the exact number that they have

1952
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:16,160
Speaker 1: in terms of cap space, that's not a lot of

1953
01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 1: money to keep their own free agents, let alone you know,

1954
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:22,240
Speaker 1: adding anybody else to supplement their roster and free agency.

1955
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:24,680
Speaker 1: So I think the first step, I think what you're

1956
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:26,600
Speaker 1: going to see them do is cut Carlos Dunlap to

1957
01:49:26,680 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 1: free up fourteen point one million dollars in cap space.

1958
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:32,600
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. Uh, you know, that's it.

1959
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:34,640
Speaker 1: That's also going to leave them without a guy who

1960
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:38,200
Speaker 1: was really their most productive edge rusher and really helped

1961
01:49:38,280 --> 01:49:41,120
Speaker 1: transform that pass rush once he arrived in the midseason trade.

1962
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:44,080
Speaker 1: You know, they're The way that they view this, I

1963
01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 1: believe is that in an offseason like this, when the

1964
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:51,120
Speaker 1: salary cap is going down, you're going to see a

1965
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:54,120
Speaker 1: lot of teams have to make really tough decisions on player.

1966
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean that happens every year, but I think more

1967
01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:58,240
Speaker 1: so this year. I think they are expecting a lot

1968
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:01,040
Speaker 1: of really good players to become a veil, whether it's

1969
01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:04,320
Speaker 1: before free agency or after June first, when you typically

1970
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:07,880
Speaker 1: see teams cut players for the salary cap ramifications, it's

1971
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:09,760
Speaker 1: just easier to do that after June first, And so

1972
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:13,639
Speaker 1: I think in their minds they're they're going to be patient,

1973
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 1: and you know, they're typically don't. They're not one of

1974
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 1: those teams that comes out and spends big money right

1975
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,800
Speaker 1: away in free agency. You're definitely not going to see

1976
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 1: them do that this year. And I think they're going

1977
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:25,120
Speaker 1: to be even more patient knowing that, you know, some

1978
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 1: good players are going to become available in June first,

1979
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 1: and with a guy like Dunlap, you know they would

1980
01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:31,360
Speaker 1: love to have him back, but I think they would

1981
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:33,120
Speaker 1: love to have him back at you know, seven eight

1982
01:50:33,200 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 1: million dollars as opposed to fourteen point one. And if

1983
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 1: it's not Dunlap, you know, maybe a very good player,

1984
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,679
Speaker 1: maybe even a younger player than Dunlap was equally productive,

1985
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 1: becomes available after June first. So they're they're not of

1986
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:46,439
Speaker 1: the mind that they have to set their roster in

1987
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:48,720
Speaker 1: March and April. They're very much a team that likes

1988
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:51,320
Speaker 1: to save resources down the road to add a player

1989
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:53,599
Speaker 1: like they did with Dunlap, like they did with Jamal Adams,

1990
01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 1: Quandary Digs go down the list. So that would be

1991
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 1: my message to people who follow the Seahawks is is,

1992
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, be ready to be patient because that's the

1993
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 1: approach they're taking. So with that in mind, Brady and

1994
01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 1: we're talking to Brady Henders, an ESPN NFL Nation reporter

1995
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks. With that in mind, if that

1996
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:15,040
Speaker 1: is in fact the approach, how much are they going

1997
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:19,040
Speaker 1: to be able to accommodate Wilson in terms of fortifying

1998
01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:22,000
Speaker 1: that offensive line. I mean, Mike you Potty just retired

1999
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:23,519
Speaker 1: this week. That's just I mean, he was going to

2000
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:25,599
Speaker 1: be a free agent anyway, but that's just another hole

2001
01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:30,080
Speaker 1: to fill. Yeah, Mike Aya Potti, who started for them

2002
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 1: at left guard last season eighth and Postic, who was

2003
01:51:32,479 --> 01:51:34,519
Speaker 1: their starting center. Those are the two free agents. And

2004
01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:37,799
Speaker 1: you know, as much as as Wilson has been frustrated

2005
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:40,320
Speaker 1: about the past protection and as problematic as it has

2006
01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 1: been at times, it's not as though this offensive line

2007
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:46,160
Speaker 1: needs an overhaul by any means. You know, they really

2008
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:48,040
Speaker 1: just need a left guard in a center. You know,

2009
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:50,800
Speaker 1: they're got a pretty good left tackle and Dwayne Brown,

2010
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:53,800
Speaker 1: albeit an aging Dwayne Brown. So you've got to find

2011
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:56,599
Speaker 1: an eventual successor there at left tackle. But between Dwayne

2012
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:59,280
Speaker 1: Brown on the left side Brandon Shell on the right side,

2013
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:02,320
Speaker 1: they've got a pretty good tackle duo and right guard

2014
01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:04,640
Speaker 1: Damian Lewis, their third round pick last year, had a

2015
01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:06,920
Speaker 1: very good rookie season, and so I think they're set

2016
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:08,760
Speaker 1: for now at those three spots. They've just got to

2017
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:10,800
Speaker 1: get a left guard and they've got to get a center.

2018
01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:13,719
Speaker 1: I think they view Ethan post It as a solid

2019
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:16,599
Speaker 1: starter at center, but that's certainly somebody that they could

2020
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:19,120
Speaker 1: find an upgrade with. Again, I don't think it's going

2021
01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:23,519
Speaker 1: to be you know, Corey, somebody like Corey Linsley. You know,

2022
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:25,360
Speaker 1: it might make ten million dollars a year. I don't

2023
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:27,880
Speaker 1: think it's going to be Joe Tuoney or Thuney whoever

2024
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:30,080
Speaker 1: you pronounce his last name, who played on a franchise

2025
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:32,439
Speaker 1: tag last year with New England. I don't think that

2026
01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:34,600
Speaker 1: they're going to stray from their typical m O and

2027
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:37,080
Speaker 1: free agency and all of a sudden go sign you know,

2028
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:40,519
Speaker 1: this big budget offensive lineman. What I do think you're

2029
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:42,840
Speaker 1: going to see them do, and this sort of goes

2030
01:52:42,880 --> 01:52:45,560
Speaker 1: back to the idea of helping Wilson out. You know,

2031
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:49,000
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I don't think they're going

2032
01:52:49,080 --> 01:52:50,760
Speaker 1: to trade in this year. I don't think you can

2033
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:52,599
Speaker 1: rule out anything with them, but I don't think you're

2034
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 1: going to see them trade in this year is because

2035
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:57,120
Speaker 1: they feel like the arrival of Shane Waldron in their

2036
01:52:57,160 --> 01:52:59,240
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator, they feel like that is going to

2037
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 1: help the issue of pass protection with more of an

2038
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:05,360
Speaker 1: emphasis on short and intermediate throws, which were a huge

2039
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 1: staple of the Rams offense under Sean McVay and not

2040
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:11,639
Speaker 1: so much with the Seahawks. That was a big issue

2041
01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:14,559
Speaker 1: for them last season with defenses started taking away their

2042
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:17,040
Speaker 1: deep passing game. They really didn't have a short and

2043
01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:20,439
Speaker 1: intermediate passing game to counter that. Deet Carroll basically said

2044
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:22,640
Speaker 1: as much. He lamented how they did not adjust to

2045
01:53:22,760 --> 01:53:25,560
Speaker 1: how defensive started playing them, and so they feel like

2046
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 1: Waldron is going to help alleviate some of those pass

2047
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:34,000
Speaker 1: protection issues and thus alleviate one of Wilson's big frustrations.

2048
01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:39,000
Speaker 1: What's the general consensus. Does Russell Wilson have enough weapons

2049
01:53:39,080 --> 01:53:40,960
Speaker 1: around him, let alone the offensive line. Does he have

2050
01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:43,120
Speaker 1: enough guys on the inside outside running backs. Is there

2051
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:45,880
Speaker 1: enough skill players around him for this offense to be

2052
01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:50,080
Speaker 1: everything they wanted to be? Last year they certainly did. Yeah,

2053
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:53,840
Speaker 1: dk Metcalf and Tyler Lockett both topped a thousand yards.

2054
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 1: I think something that's only happened been one other time

2055
01:53:56,320 --> 01:53:59,519
Speaker 1: in Seahawks history, with Joey Galloway and Brian Blade's back

2056
01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:03,599
Speaker 1: in nineteen, two very good receivers. I think he's got

2057
01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:08,479
Speaker 1: enough in terms of complimentary receivers behind that running backs,

2058
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, with Chris Carson and Carlos Side. So I'm

2059
01:54:11,800 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 1: talking about last year. Now this year, you know, Hyde

2060
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 1: and Carson are both free agents. David Moore, their number

2061
01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:21,000
Speaker 1: three receiver, is a free agent. Greg Olsen retired after

2062
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:25,080
Speaker 1: not a very productive season in Seattle last year, and

2063
01:54:25,200 --> 01:54:27,560
Speaker 1: so I think they had enough last year. But but

2064
01:54:27,720 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna have to see how things shake

2065
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:32,120
Speaker 1: out the free agency. Carson is a guy who seems

2066
01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 1: like a fifty fifty shot at best to be back.

2067
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:38,200
Speaker 1: They're just not in the same position as other teams

2068
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:41,280
Speaker 1: are in my opinion, to take that big risk on

2069
01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:43,520
Speaker 1: him staying healthy. He's been one of the league's better

2070
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:46,080
Speaker 1: running backs, more productive running backs when he's been healthy.

2071
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:49,240
Speaker 1: But he's missed nineteen of a possible sixty four regular

2072
01:54:49,320 --> 01:54:52,400
Speaker 1: season games over four years. So I can very much

2073
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 1: see you know, another team like the Jets or Jacksonville,

2074
01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:57,600
Speaker 1: some team with a lot of cap space being willing

2075
01:54:57,680 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 1: to make that bet that he can stay healthy, and

2076
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 1: more so than the Seahawks. But so we're gonna have

2077
01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:05,480
Speaker 1: to wait and see on that. And again, you know,

2078
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:08,040
Speaker 1: they don't have a ton of draft capital to supplement that.

2079
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean the weapons that's going to be

2080
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, we've talked about the offensive line, but the

2081
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:16,240
Speaker 1: weapons you gotta wonder about that. You know. I think

2082
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:18,280
Speaker 1: some way, somehow, they'll find a way to make it work.

2083
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:20,520
Speaker 1: Russell is a guy who I think can can make

2084
01:55:20,800 --> 01:55:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, certain guys better, but they may not have

2085
01:55:24,440 --> 01:55:27,360
Speaker 1: the same level of weaponry that they did last season. Brady,

2086
01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:29,600
Speaker 1: thanks very much for the time. We appreciate you giving

2087
01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:31,720
Speaker 1: some of it to us here on Friday and all

2088
01:55:31,760 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 1: the insight with what the heck's going on up there

2089
01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:35,880
Speaker 1: in Seattle. Hopefully things calm down for you so you

2090
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: can get some offseason time. Man, Yeah, you bet Fellis.

2091
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:41,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. That was fun, all right. Brady

2092
01:55:41,600 --> 01:55:45,760
Speaker 1: Henderson joining us ESPN NFL Nation reporter for the Seattle Seahawks,

2093
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:48,880
Speaker 1: giving us the lowdown on what's going on up there

2094
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:53,000
Speaker 1: in the Emerald City, where we'll see if Russ Wilson

2095
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:56,280
Speaker 1: can calm down and play the twenty twenty one season

2096
01:55:56,360 --> 01:55:59,480
Speaker 1: with a coordinator that he was. That's what confused me

2097
01:55:59,560 --> 01:56:03,120
Speaker 1: most about the whole thing, Steve, because I'm reading the story,

2098
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you know, things got a little out

2099
01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:07,200
Speaker 1: of whack in week eight, nine, ten eleven, and he

2100
01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:10,800
Speaker 1: felt like his voice wasn't being heard in the offensive

2101
01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:13,000
Speaker 1: meeting rooms in terms of what the game plan should be.

2102
01:56:13,720 --> 01:56:15,400
Speaker 1: But then that coordinator has gone. At the end of

2103
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:17,960
Speaker 1: the year, they part bart, you know, Brian Schottenheimer and

2104
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:21,720
Speaker 1: the Seahawks part ways. They're going to hire a new coordinator.

2105
01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 1: Russ says he wants some saying who gets hired. They

2106
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,960
Speaker 1: give him that, They ask for his blessing. On Shane Waldron,

2107
01:56:28,040 --> 01:56:30,320
Speaker 1: he gives him his blessing. And now all this stuff

2108
01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:32,640
Speaker 1: comes out of the woodwork after the season's over. It

2109
01:56:32,760 --> 01:56:34,920
Speaker 1: just it sounds like somebody's just whining right now, do

2110
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:37,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It's I'm starting to get

2111
01:56:37,200 --> 01:56:40,080
Speaker 1: a vibe out of this entire situation where some people

2112
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:43,320
Speaker 1: are starting to look at Russ and go, wait a minute,

2113
01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:48,360
Speaker 1: what's your problem? Wait a minute? Right, Seriously, his style

2114
01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:50,920
Speaker 1: of play lends itself to getting hit more because he

2115
01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:54,000
Speaker 1: extends plays a lot. Now, certainly he got whacked in

2116
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:57,240
Speaker 1: the pocket. Every quarterback does. I don't think that he's

2117
01:56:57,280 --> 01:57:03,200
Speaker 1: been hit more so like that than any other quarterback

2118
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:05,480
Speaker 1: in the league. Certainly he's gotten sacks. But listen, when

2119
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:07,440
Speaker 1: you run out of bounds as a quarterback behind the

2120
01:57:07,480 --> 01:57:11,760
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, that's a sack. He extends the play

2121
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:14,240
Speaker 1: a lot. That's one of the things that makes him effective.

2122
01:57:14,320 --> 01:57:15,720
Speaker 1: That's one of the things you have to live with.

2123
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:18,040
Speaker 1: If you're gonna have Russ Wilson as your quarterback, you're

2124
01:57:18,080 --> 01:57:20,920
Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of sacks because he'll extend the

2125
01:57:21,080 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 1: play and run out of bounds or you know. But

2126
01:57:26,040 --> 01:57:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, the other side of that is he's making touchdowns,

2127
01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:31,600
Speaker 1: he's scorning plays, he's making first downs, he's moving the chains.

2128
01:57:31,640 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 1: He's doing a lot of things with his legs and

2129
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:36,160
Speaker 1: with his athleticism in the pocket that nobody else does.

2130
01:57:36,240 --> 01:57:38,560
Speaker 1: And that. The other side of that is you take

2131
01:57:38,560 --> 01:57:41,240
Speaker 1: a couple of sacks, even if they are only statistical sacks.

2132
01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:44,280
Speaker 1: So and then, like you said, you get down the

2133
01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:48,200
Speaker 1: list of his grievances. Well, if you're gonna extend plays

2134
01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:50,760
Speaker 1: like that with the offensive line, how you know if

2135
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 1: they hold him out for five seconds, you still haven't

2136
01:57:52,760 --> 01:57:54,800
Speaker 1: thrown it. You go run around back there and you

2137
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,960
Speaker 1: take a hit that's not on your offensive line. Yeah,

2138
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:01,320
Speaker 1: and yet he's still says I'm getting hit too much,

2139
01:58:01,440 --> 01:58:03,160
Speaker 1: like as if it is. And who else are they

2140
01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna suspect if he's complaining like that, And listen, everybody's

2141
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:08,240
Speaker 1: gonna point at the offensive life. Yeah. Two receivers go

2142
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:10,280
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards and he's telling you they're not

2143
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:12,840
Speaker 1: throwing it enough. I don't know if that if I

2144
01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:17,200
Speaker 1: buy it, I don't know that I buy that. I

2145
01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:19,560
Speaker 1: get it, you're going through it. They lose three out

2146
01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:26,120
Speaker 1: of four, two of them are to division opponents. They

2147
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 1: haven't gotten pasted the divisional round of the playoff. Yeah,

2148
01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:30,680
Speaker 1: I get all that. And the big picture, Russ wants

2149
01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:32,640
Speaker 1: to win a championship and be one of those guys.

2150
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:36,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's fine, but that's on you Broyeah. Don't play

2151
01:58:36,280 --> 01:58:38,840
Speaker 1: the finger at everybody else that's on you. It's it's

2152
01:58:38,880 --> 01:58:41,120
Speaker 1: just a bad look. It's a bad look, and you

2153
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:42,600
Speaker 1: can I know it's a team game. I know there's

2154
01:58:42,600 --> 01:58:44,800
Speaker 1: a lot going on, but you've got a coaching staff

2155
01:58:45,200 --> 01:58:49,880
Speaker 1: who's been there, and you've won it with and you

2156
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:52,920
Speaker 1: want it with defense in the year that you want it.

2157
01:58:53,360 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 1: The next year you come back, they put the game

2158
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:58,440
Speaker 1: in your hands, down close, with a chance to win it,

2159
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:05,200
Speaker 1: and you throw the pick. Yeah, I get it. Nobody's

2160
01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:06,800
Speaker 1: happy when you go out of the playoffs on the

2161
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:09,080
Speaker 1: indivisional round and you've been there before and you can't

2162
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:11,000
Speaker 1: you're having trouble and you can't even over the get

2163
01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:14,440
Speaker 1: back to this big game. I get it you're disgruntled,

2164
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:16,400
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, that's a bad look. And I

2165
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:18,680
Speaker 1: think I'm starting to hear that from people around the league,

2166
01:59:18,720 --> 01:59:21,160
Speaker 1: not just us sitting here tune about it. You know,

2167
01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 1: it makes you wonder about what his true personality is

2168
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:30,520
Speaker 1: in the locker room behind closed doors, because I think

2169
01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:33,040
Speaker 1: the players really like him. I want to believe that too,

2170
01:59:34,400 --> 01:59:36,240
Speaker 1: and he always puts on a good public face to

2171
01:59:36,320 --> 01:59:39,800
Speaker 1: the media. As Brady was telling us but you wonder

2172
01:59:39,840 --> 01:59:43,600
Speaker 1: if there's some times where he rubs people the wrong

2173
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 1: way and lets his own desire to have a legacy

2174
01:59:47,080 --> 01:59:50,880
Speaker 1: in this league kind of overshadow the team concept. I

2175
01:59:50,920 --> 01:59:53,560
Speaker 1: think if you're starting to think about a legacy while

2176
01:59:53,560 --> 01:59:58,360
Speaker 1: you're still playing, you're not You're not focused. It's not prioritized.

2177
01:59:58,360 --> 02:00:01,120
Speaker 1: You're not focused, right, And I get it. In the

2178
02:00:01,160 --> 02:00:02,760
Speaker 1: offseason you can kind of take a step back and

2179
02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:05,800
Speaker 1: look at the big picture and start to make some pronouncements.

2180
02:00:05,880 --> 02:00:07,520
Speaker 1: But this is a bad I think it's a bad

2181
02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:09,440
Speaker 1: look for us because, and I'll tell you this too,

2182
02:00:09,440 --> 02:00:12,720
Speaker 1: if I'm the Seahawks, you can't trade that guy. Yeah,

2183
02:00:12,880 --> 02:00:17,640
Speaker 1: he's important, and you've done everything you could to give

2184
02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:20,200
Speaker 1: him a chance to be successful. Although here's an interesting

2185
02:00:20,280 --> 02:00:22,960
Speaker 1: nugget that Chris Mortenson threw out when he was appearing

2186
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:27,640
Speaker 1: on NFL Live earlier this week. He shared a story

2187
02:00:28,840 --> 02:00:32,680
Speaker 1: that Seahawks GM John Schneider at the Josh Allen Pro

2188
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Day of all places, went up to John Dorsey, who

2189
02:00:37,240 --> 02:00:40,560
Speaker 1: was the GM of the Browns at the time, and

2190
02:00:40,760 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 1: told and asked him if he would be interested in

2191
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:47,200
Speaker 1: a trade for Russell Wilson. Obviously, Cleveland had the first

2192
02:00:47,200 --> 02:00:51,840
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and Dorsey told him no, pretty

2193
02:00:51,880 --> 02:00:55,320
Speaker 1: much flat out, due primarily to the fact that they

2194
02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:59,040
Speaker 1: had just signed Wilson to that giant contract extension and

2195
02:00:59,320 --> 02:01:01,760
Speaker 1: it would just be who cost prohibitive to make it

2196
02:01:01,840 --> 02:01:04,520
Speaker 1: work for the Browns, And so he said no, But

2197
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of myself. Dang, that was like twenty seventeen,

2198
02:01:07,960 --> 02:01:10,640
Speaker 1: like three years ago they were looking at they were

2199
02:01:10,640 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 1: at least exploring the possibility and moving on from him.

2200
02:01:13,120 --> 02:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Why at least at least in the waters to what

2201
02:01:14,960 --> 02:01:18,320
Speaker 1: the market would be. Yeah, why makes a good questions.

2202
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:20,760
Speaker 1: That's That's something. Now with all this coming out, it

2203
02:01:20,800 --> 02:01:22,640
Speaker 1: makes me wonder about it. You know. That's and I'll

2204
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:24,200
Speaker 1: tell you this, what are they what are they see

2205
02:01:24,240 --> 02:01:26,400
Speaker 1: in him that maybe not be all that appealing And

2206
02:01:26,440 --> 02:01:27,880
Speaker 1: it's not. It's you can just say, well, he was

2207
02:01:27,920 --> 02:01:29,520
Speaker 1: just kind of trying test out the way. You don't

2208
02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:32,320
Speaker 1: do that with a with a guy that's perceived to

2209
02:01:32,360 --> 02:01:35,120
Speaker 1: be your franchise quarterback, because that ruffles feathers when you

2210
02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:37,960
Speaker 1: do that. No, particularly if that comes out all right,

2211
02:01:37,960 --> 02:01:39,400
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. When we were turning.

2212
02:01:39,440 --> 02:01:41,800
Speaker 1: We'll answer more of your questions in the OBL Fan

2213
02:01:41,960 --> 02:01:44,280
Speaker 1: Friday mail Bag, and we may have a little time

2214
02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:46,920
Speaker 1: for some NFL true falls. We'll see when we were

2215
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:49,120
Speaker 1: turning here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health,

2216
02:01:49,160 --> 02:02:06,920
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Hills Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live,

2217
02:02:07,080 --> 02:02:09,400
Speaker 1: final half hour of the show. Chris brow steep caster,

2218
02:02:09,600 --> 02:02:11,280
Speaker 1: here with you on a Friday, taking me up until

2219
02:02:11,360 --> 02:02:13,800
Speaker 1: three o'clock and it's time to go back to the

2220
02:02:13,840 --> 02:02:16,520
Speaker 1: tweet sheet and the obl Fan Friday mail Bag brought

2221
02:02:16,520 --> 02:02:19,080
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

2222
02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:22,480
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. And Butch asks, will the

2223
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:26,480
Speaker 1: Bills get a veteran quarterback so that if something happens

2224
02:02:26,520 --> 02:02:28,960
Speaker 1: to our starter he would be able to carry the

2225
02:02:29,040 --> 02:02:31,360
Speaker 1: load with ease. I think GM Brandon Bean has to

2226
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:35,360
Speaker 1: find that guy asap. Obviously, Butch is concerned because Matt

2227
02:02:35,400 --> 02:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Barkley is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. Now

2228
02:02:39,280 --> 02:02:45,840
Speaker 1: they do have They have Jake from their fifth round

2229
02:02:45,880 --> 02:02:49,840
Speaker 1: draft choice from a year ago under contract and they

2230
02:02:50,640 --> 02:02:53,080
Speaker 1: and they also have Davis Webb who they signed to

2231
02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:56,440
Speaker 1: a reserve future contract, so he is also under contract

2232
02:02:56,480 --> 02:03:00,560
Speaker 1: through the off season. So the question becomes um or

2233
02:03:00,680 --> 02:03:02,680
Speaker 1: is he restricted free agent. I gotta check that hold

2234
02:03:02,720 --> 02:03:05,400
Speaker 1: on you. You keep talking, right, But I think that

2235
02:03:06,120 --> 02:03:08,200
Speaker 1: it comes down to how you feel about Mount Matt

2236
02:03:08,240 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 1: Barklay and what is going to take to resign him.

2237
02:03:10,120 --> 02:03:12,880
Speaker 1: Now he may have some cash out there and about

2238
02:03:13,360 --> 02:03:18,240
Speaker 1: from other teams because of his you know, his experience

2239
02:03:18,280 --> 02:03:22,920
Speaker 1: with Josh and the reputation he's garnered and not for nothing.

2240
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:24,880
Speaker 1: But the way he played in Week seventeen, you can

2241
02:03:24,920 --> 02:03:28,720
Speaker 1: say what you want to. It was still the Miami

2242
02:03:28,760 --> 02:03:31,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins number one defense. He made two million bucks last year,

2243
02:03:31,960 --> 02:03:33,480
Speaker 1: which is a lot of money to you and me,

2244
02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:37,680
Speaker 1: but on in the NFL, that's that's not even a

2245
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:41,960
Speaker 1: blip on the radar. If they can get him to

2246
02:03:42,120 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 1: come back for that number, yeah, that's a that's a win.

2247
02:03:47,840 --> 02:03:50,000
Speaker 1: That's a win. I don't know that they will, but yeah,

2248
02:03:50,040 --> 02:03:54,360
Speaker 1: because he may easily be enticed away by saying, hey,

2249
02:03:54,800 --> 02:03:58,080
Speaker 1: you can come to Denver and compete with Drew Locke

2250
02:03:59,080 --> 02:04:01,839
Speaker 1: or thereabouts. You need to come to Minnesota and compete

2251
02:04:01,840 --> 02:04:05,320
Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins, I don't care whatever. Or you can

2252
02:04:05,360 --> 02:04:10,320
Speaker 1: come to New Orleans, you know, and compete for that job,

2253
02:04:10,480 --> 02:04:13,040
Speaker 1: or to Carolina and compete for that job. All those

2254
02:04:13,120 --> 02:04:15,880
Speaker 1: clubs are looking for guys. Or how about this, Matt,

2255
02:04:15,960 --> 02:04:18,760
Speaker 1: We'll give you five million dollars to come down and

2256
02:04:18,960 --> 02:04:23,440
Speaker 1: mentor Trevor Lawrence the way you mentored Josh Allen. How

2257
02:04:23,480 --> 02:04:29,240
Speaker 1: about that? Yeah, So there you go with where the

2258
02:04:29,360 --> 02:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Bills are on the cap. Even if they cut players

2259
02:04:37,040 --> 02:04:40,360
Speaker 1: to create cap space, I don't get the sense that

2260
02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:43,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be done with backup quarterback in mind.

2261
02:04:43,720 --> 02:04:46,879
Speaker 1: It's going to be to address the more important positions.

2262
02:04:47,440 --> 02:04:53,520
Speaker 1: So it leads me to believe that the three quarterbacks

2263
02:04:53,920 --> 02:04:57,400
Speaker 1: going to camp next year may already be on the roster,

2264
02:04:58,080 --> 02:05:03,480
Speaker 1: namely Josh Allen, Davis Webb, and Jake From. They drafted

2265
02:05:03,560 --> 02:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Jake From in the fifth round because he was sticking

2266
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:10,480
Speaker 1: out on their board, but that doesn't mean that they

2267
02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:15,560
Speaker 1: didn't think highly of him as a cerebral quarterback. Now,

2268
02:05:16,080 --> 02:05:19,960
Speaker 1: does he have elite physical traits? No, he doesn't, That's

2269
02:05:19,960 --> 02:05:22,320
Speaker 1: why he was a fifth round draft choice. But what

2270
02:05:22,440 --> 02:05:25,520
Speaker 1: he has between the years is said to be elite.

2271
02:05:26,320 --> 02:05:29,160
Speaker 1: And Josh in his last press conference of the season,

2272
02:05:29,680 --> 02:05:31,640
Speaker 1: right at the day after they lost to the Chiefs,

2273
02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:35,480
Speaker 1: was asked about Jake From in that press conference and

2274
02:05:35,760 --> 02:05:39,280
Speaker 1: he said there were times where Jake would offer him

2275
02:05:39,920 --> 02:05:43,960
Speaker 1: some things that he saw watching the game from the

2276
02:05:44,040 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 1: sidelines that Josh said, we're helpful at times. There's a

2277
02:05:47,680 --> 02:05:50,560
Speaker 1: rookie who's barely talked to him because he was kept

2278
02:05:50,600 --> 02:05:54,680
Speaker 1: separate as their COVID quarterback, or if he was, he

2279
02:05:54,760 --> 02:06:00,280
Speaker 1: was thirty feet away. And that stuck with me because

2280
02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, Okay, you know, all we've heard

2281
02:06:03,360 --> 02:06:05,960
Speaker 1: about Jake from is how cerebral and how he sees

2282
02:06:06,040 --> 02:06:08,440
Speaker 1: the game in a very advanced way for a person

2283
02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:11,640
Speaker 1: his age. And that was verified to me by what

2284
02:06:11,760 --> 02:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen said about him. It's an interesting role for

2285
02:06:14,080 --> 02:06:18,160
Speaker 1: the Bills, right because you're not expected to play exactly,

2286
02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:20,440
Speaker 1: but you are expected to help that guy play, right.

2287
02:06:20,600 --> 02:06:22,640
Speaker 1: And Davis Webb is a guy who's been around the

2288
02:06:22,720 --> 02:06:25,480
Speaker 1: league a little bit longer, and I wonder if they

2289
02:06:25,520 --> 02:06:28,360
Speaker 1: see Davis Webb as the guy that grows into the

2290
02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:34,440
Speaker 1: role that Matt Barkley once held. Also, Davis Webb of

2291
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:39,120
Speaker 1: similar stature to Josh Allen, certainly not similar athleticism, but

2292
02:06:39,200 --> 02:06:41,640
Speaker 1: he's goes six six, He's a tall dude. He's a

2293
02:06:41,680 --> 02:06:44,760
Speaker 1: tall drink of water. Not nearly as girthy as Josh.

2294
02:06:44,800 --> 02:06:48,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't go to thirty two forty, but of the

2295
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:51,680
Speaker 1: of a similar stature, and I think if he's in

2296
02:06:51,760 --> 02:06:53,600
Speaker 1: the pocket and doesn't have to move around too much,

2297
02:06:54,040 --> 02:06:56,440
Speaker 1: could probably execute a lot of the same plays that

2298
02:06:56,600 --> 02:07:00,400
Speaker 1: Josh does, albeit not the design runs. So I guess

2299
02:07:00,440 --> 02:07:03,720
Speaker 1: this is my long way around saying there's a very

2300
02:07:03,760 --> 02:07:08,080
Speaker 1: good chance the quarterback position as the roster is currently

2301
02:07:08,160 --> 02:07:12,840
Speaker 1: constituted with Alan Webb and from could go unchanged over

2302
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:15,080
Speaker 1: the course of the off season, and they may ride

2303
02:07:15,120 --> 02:07:17,960
Speaker 1: with that because of how restrictive the cap is right

2304
02:07:18,040 --> 02:07:20,080
Speaker 1: now in the other areas they have to address. Yeah,

2305
02:07:20,120 --> 02:07:23,360
Speaker 1: if they certainly, if they can bring Vent Barkley back

2306
02:07:23,640 --> 02:07:27,360
Speaker 1: for a number that they have in mind, they'll do it.

2307
02:07:27,720 --> 02:07:29,760
Speaker 1: I think they like that room with Barkley in it,

2308
02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:33,560
Speaker 1: and I think Barkley gives Josh some stuff that and

2309
02:07:33,720 --> 02:07:37,400
Speaker 1: their relationship is such a gives Josh a comfortable face

2310
02:07:37,480 --> 02:07:39,839
Speaker 1: to look at in the voice you can hear between

2311
02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:44,240
Speaker 1: series on game day, you need that. And obviously Barkley

2312
02:07:44,280 --> 02:07:46,040
Speaker 1: can play a little bit as to what he did

2313
02:07:46,080 --> 02:07:48,200
Speaker 1: in then when he'd got his time in Week seventeen.

2314
02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:50,800
Speaker 1: So I think the club would feel good about Barkley.

2315
02:07:50,840 --> 02:07:52,680
Speaker 1: But I think Barkley's going to have a market as

2316
02:07:52,720 --> 02:07:54,600
Speaker 1: as surprising as it might be to some bills fans,

2317
02:07:54,640 --> 02:07:56,280
Speaker 1: I think Barkley is going to be in a little

2318
02:07:56,280 --> 02:07:58,400
Speaker 1: bit of demand. Well, they got him for two million

2319
02:07:58,480 --> 02:08:01,200
Speaker 1: dollars a year, and they resigned him to a two

2320
02:08:01,280 --> 02:08:04,160
Speaker 1: year contract two years ago. You're not getting him for

2321
02:08:04,200 --> 02:08:06,520
Speaker 1: two million a year now. Someone will pay them in

2322
02:08:06,600 --> 02:08:09,640
Speaker 1: that They might, they might, but but he's willing to

2323
02:08:09,760 --> 02:08:13,640
Speaker 1: accept below market value. The market for quarterbacks is going

2324
02:08:13,720 --> 02:08:16,919
Speaker 1: to be probably a little bit flooded too, and mostly

2325
02:08:17,040 --> 02:08:20,080
Speaker 1: valid point and most mostly at the top end. I mean, right,

2326
02:08:20,440 --> 02:08:23,280
Speaker 1: given our conversations that leave standing out in the cold,

2327
02:08:23,320 --> 02:08:26,160
Speaker 1: the middle market guys, like the backups, the veteran backups,

2328
02:08:26,160 --> 02:08:28,400
Speaker 1: they'll be standing out in the cold and probably have

2329
02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:30,200
Speaker 1: to take less than marketing. Yeah. Yeah, So if the

2330
02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:32,840
Speaker 1: market goes that way, yeah, but think about it. Last

2331
02:08:32,920 --> 02:08:35,640
Speaker 1: year you had a quarterback market that came out. You

2332
02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:38,240
Speaker 1: had a guy who had been a hot top draft

2333
02:08:38,320 --> 02:08:41,280
Speaker 1: pick signed with the intent purpose of being a backup,

2334
02:08:41,640 --> 02:08:44,640
Speaker 1: and he's pulling down seven or ten million bucks a year.

2335
02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:48,720
Speaker 1: And that's Marcus Mariota. He didn't even want to compete

2336
02:08:49,160 --> 02:08:51,200
Speaker 1: for a quarterback, which by the way, takes him off

2337
02:08:51,320 --> 02:08:53,800
Speaker 1: our list of possibilities forever being on this team. If

2338
02:08:53,840 --> 02:08:58,160
Speaker 1: you if you're not, I mean really yeah, so, which

2339
02:08:58,240 --> 02:09:00,480
Speaker 1: means I would not have a problem in New England

2340
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:05,960
Speaker 1: got that guy. But that's the market. I mean, he

2341
02:09:06,160 --> 02:09:10,320
Speaker 1: signed with the Raiders for ten million bucks, right, well,

2342
02:09:10,360 --> 02:09:12,760
Speaker 1: it's his cap hit this year. It was pretty close

2343
02:09:12,800 --> 02:09:14,640
Speaker 1: to that this last year. Maybe seven million, I think

2344
02:09:14,760 --> 02:09:17,360
Speaker 1: something like that. But that's a lot of money for

2345
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:20,720
Speaker 1: a guy that's holding the kelpboard, that's helping Derek Carr

2346
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:23,480
Speaker 1: right play well. And and that's why I think in

2347
02:09:23,560 --> 02:09:27,640
Speaker 1: this restrictive cap here, you gotta make cuts somewhere in

2348
02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:29,720
Speaker 1: terms of your spending, and I think it might be

2349
02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:32,560
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback this year. Let's not forget Davis Webb

2350
02:09:33,760 --> 02:09:36,880
Speaker 1: largely put together the practice script for the two days

2351
02:09:36,920 --> 02:09:38,880
Speaker 1: they spent in South Florida. He was a big part

2352
02:09:38,920 --> 02:09:42,760
Speaker 1: of that planning process. I think that showed the coaching staff, Hey,

2353
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, this guy knows his stuff, he knows how

2354
02:09:44,760 --> 02:09:46,280
Speaker 1: to get a team ready. This is the perfect guy

2355
02:09:46,320 --> 02:09:49,080
Speaker 1: to have at the elbow. Josh Allen in the film room.

2356
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:51,840
Speaker 1: If Matt Barkley can't be there, and so I wonder

2357
02:09:51,920 --> 02:09:55,680
Speaker 1: if that that job has passed on to Davis Webb

2358
02:09:55,760 --> 02:09:58,400
Speaker 1: here and from's kind of along for the ride as well,

2359
02:09:58,880 --> 02:10:01,600
Speaker 1: and it goes that way. I could very easily see

2360
02:10:02,160 --> 02:10:04,440
Speaker 1: that being the way they decide to go, even though

2361
02:10:04,480 --> 02:10:06,360
Speaker 1: that's probably not what Butch wants to hear. I have

2362
02:10:06,440 --> 02:10:08,880
Speaker 1: been starting to get a lot of thoughts from, you know,

2363
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:11,040
Speaker 1: people chiming in on the conversation about what are they

2364
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna do it with Matt Barkley? Are they gonna, you know,

2365
02:10:12,880 --> 02:10:14,320
Speaker 1: they need to get a guy, a veteran guy who

2366
02:10:14,440 --> 02:10:17,400
Speaker 1: like well, okay, but they like Barkley and they'd love

2367
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:20,000
Speaker 1: to have him back. But like I said, I there's

2368
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:23,080
Speaker 1: every chance that he would just be too expensive because

2369
02:10:23,080 --> 02:10:24,760
Speaker 1: he's made himself so valuable and a little bit more

2370
02:10:24,800 --> 02:10:27,560
Speaker 1: attractive than he was when the Bills signed him last

2371
02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:30,120
Speaker 1: one quickly from Rick. With the Bill's defensive line in

2372
02:10:30,200 --> 02:10:31,880
Speaker 1: need of an upgrade, do you think there could be

2373
02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:34,680
Speaker 1: a chance if Brandon Bean signing free agent Jarrell Casey

2374
02:10:34,760 --> 02:10:36,520
Speaker 1: prior to the start of free agency, and could they

2375
02:10:36,560 --> 02:10:39,840
Speaker 1: sign both Casey and Watt or would that be too expensive?

2376
02:10:40,160 --> 02:10:42,600
Speaker 1: You'd have to cut about three or four players to

2377
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:47,960
Speaker 1: make that work. I think four or five players. Yeah, yeah,

2378
02:10:48,120 --> 02:10:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean Casey might play for less because he's coming

2379
02:10:51,040 --> 02:10:53,440
Speaker 1: off a season in which he played just three games.

2380
02:10:53,720 --> 02:10:56,320
Speaker 1: He's on the wrong side of thirty, just like JJ Watt,

2381
02:10:56,560 --> 02:11:00,960
Speaker 1: and he's coming off major injury. So maybe can negotiate

2382
02:11:01,680 --> 02:11:05,600
Speaker 1: a cheap deal with him. But that's not going to happen, right,

2383
02:11:05,720 --> 02:11:07,440
Speaker 1: But that's not happening with Wat. You're gonna have to

2384
02:11:07,520 --> 02:11:11,520
Speaker 1: move defensive lineman offer. It's been reported that Watts Benton

2385
02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:14,040
Speaker 1: had an offer on fifteen sixteen million bucks a year.

2386
02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:18,440
Speaker 1: That's not if that's If that's true, the Bills are

2387
02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:21,720
Speaker 1: not in that loop. They are not paying JJ Watt

2388
02:11:21,760 --> 02:11:24,240
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen million bucks a year to complain Buffalo. Yeah,

2389
02:11:24,320 --> 02:11:26,560
Speaker 1: I would think I don't know anything. I'm not going

2390
02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:30,000
Speaker 1: into that on face value. That rich their price range,

2391
02:11:30,240 --> 02:11:33,640
Speaker 1: and that's not something that falls into their philosophy that

2392
02:11:33,720 --> 02:11:35,960
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. Yeah, no matter how good

2393
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:38,800
Speaker 1: the guy is, Uh lightning round from Rachel. If we

2394
02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:40,720
Speaker 1: cut John Brown for cap space, do you think we

2395
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:43,160
Speaker 1: lose every anything at the receiver position or at this point,

2396
02:11:43,200 --> 02:11:45,600
Speaker 1: can Gabriel Davis offer just as much as Brown could,

2397
02:11:46,600 --> 02:11:49,880
Speaker 1: I think in terms of scoring potential, yes, but he's

2398
02:11:49,960 --> 02:11:52,680
Speaker 1: not a proven deep threat in the same way that

2399
02:11:52,960 --> 02:11:55,920
Speaker 1: John Brown is. He can sneak behind receivers, but it's

2400
02:11:55,960 --> 02:11:58,080
Speaker 1: not because he's blowing their doors off. So it would

2401
02:11:58,080 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 1: be a different dynamic. And Steve and I talked about

2402
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:03,040
Speaker 1: this earlier in the week that if John Brown is

2403
02:12:03,080 --> 02:12:05,720
Speaker 1: moved off the roster for cap savings and they decide

2404
02:12:05,760 --> 02:12:11,640
Speaker 1: to go with what they have, Jaykumeroau, Gabriel Davis, Isaiah Hodgens,

2405
02:12:11,960 --> 02:12:14,480
Speaker 1: all of these guys are six two, six, three and

2406
02:12:14,680 --> 02:12:18,320
Speaker 1: six six, the dynamic of what the Bills receiving corps

2407
02:12:18,360 --> 02:12:21,360
Speaker 1: would be could be dramatically changed. They might be a

2408
02:12:21,480 --> 02:12:26,520
Speaker 1: size receiving corps instead of a speed demon separation receiving corps.

2409
02:12:26,720 --> 02:12:30,040
Speaker 1: They lost one game without John John Brown in the

2410
02:12:30,080 --> 02:12:31,720
Speaker 1: lineup last year. They were If he was out for

2411
02:12:31,760 --> 02:12:33,400
Speaker 1: six weeks, they went five and one. If he's out

2412
02:12:33,440 --> 02:12:35,120
Speaker 1: for eight weeks they went seven and whatever was they

2413
02:12:35,200 --> 02:12:37,840
Speaker 1: lost and it was an Arizona loss. Yeah, I think

2414
02:12:37,920 --> 02:12:40,800
Speaker 1: that they that they believe that's correct. They were fine

2415
02:12:40,840 --> 02:12:43,560
Speaker 1: without him on the field, but last year they hung

2416
02:12:43,640 --> 02:12:45,480
Speaker 1: thirteen and three on the whole league, so they were

2417
02:12:45,920 --> 02:12:47,600
Speaker 1: it had been hard pressed to find one guy wh

2418
02:12:47,600 --> 02:12:49,200
Speaker 1: would have made a big difference in the could look

2419
02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:52,280
Speaker 1: different next year at receiver because of the restricted cap.

2420
02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:54,320
Speaker 1: Break time for us. We'll come back to wrap things

2421
02:12:54,440 --> 02:12:56,680
Speaker 1: up here on a Friday on One Bills Live, presented

2422
02:12:56,680 --> 02:13:18,560
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. It is

2423
02:13:18,720 --> 02:13:21,760
Speaker 1: time for what have we learned from today's show? Brought

2424
02:13:21,760 --> 02:13:25,160
Speaker 1: to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company

2425
02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:28,440
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills and Steve. I'm gonna turn it

2426
02:13:28,520 --> 02:13:31,640
Speaker 1: over to you because I wanted to present today's lesson

2427
02:13:33,400 --> 02:13:36,640
Speaker 1: my lesson today's I just don't. We can't get our

2428
02:13:36,680 --> 02:13:39,520
Speaker 1: mind around any scenario where the Seahawks is gonna let

2429
02:13:39,600 --> 02:13:41,840
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson out of there, at least not this year.

2430
02:13:42,080 --> 02:13:44,680
Speaker 1: They paid him a couple of contracts. He's won them

2431
02:13:44,680 --> 02:13:47,400
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, got him to another one. They have

2432
02:13:47,600 --> 02:13:50,000
Speaker 1: listened to him. They've given him as many weapons as

2433
02:13:50,040 --> 02:13:52,960
Speaker 1: he needs to be successful. They gave him, say in

2434
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:56,440
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator who they just hired. There's a reason

2435
02:13:56,680 --> 02:13:58,800
Speaker 1: for optimism. If you're Russ Wilson, you had this guy,

2436
02:13:58,880 --> 02:14:00,440
Speaker 1: You've heard what he had to say, let's skill, let's

2437
02:14:00,480 --> 02:14:03,120
Speaker 1: go play. I don't think there's any way Russ Wilson

2438
02:14:03,160 --> 02:14:05,200
Speaker 1: gets out of Seattle, and I don't think Seattle is

2439
02:14:05,240 --> 02:14:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna move him. Houston, however, could be another story. I

2440
02:14:09,200 --> 02:14:12,120
Speaker 1: think Deshaun Watson is not going to be I just

2441
02:14:12,240 --> 02:14:14,520
Speaker 1: do not think he will cross the That is a

2442
02:14:14,600 --> 02:14:17,440
Speaker 1: staring contest right now. And if I'm on Deshaun Watson,

2443
02:14:17,440 --> 02:14:19,720
Speaker 1: if you've gone this far, I think you gotta in

2444
02:14:19,840 --> 02:14:21,520
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form, let him know you are

2445
02:14:21,600 --> 02:14:24,240
Speaker 1: serious and you are not playing. Yeah. Our thanks to
