57
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,440

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,000

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,320

75
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,960

00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: forces on on on TV, and they're just looking for

78
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: a break. There's absolutely no sports, no live sports to

00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know people. I was. I

106
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: saw that. I watched. I watched the Cornelius been At

107
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: debut game over the weekend. Where was that Where Goes?

108
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty seven? It was on YouTube. Somebody posted on

109
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Twitter and Biscuit kind of shouted it out, So I

110
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: watched it. You know what I remember thought about that game?

111
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: But I sucked. What do you mean that game? I

112
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: had two fumbles in that game. I had one where

113
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: what was it? Oh? It was a kick. It was

114
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: a windy game. The wind was blown, it was howling.

115
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: I blocked a kick. I blocked a punt in the game.

116
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 1: Rob Riddick blocked a punt. We had two block punts

117
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: in that game before halftime. And but also they kicked

118
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: off into the wind. Once I caught it, made a move,

119
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: coughed up the ball. We got it back luckily, and

120
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 1: then late in the game they were were twenty one fourteen.

121
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: I coughed it up again in our own end on

122
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: a kickoff return and they almost scored, except then who

123
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: was it? I think Kirby Jackson forced another front. We

124
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: got the ball right back and closed the game out.

125
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Otherwise they might have tied it up. I almost gave

126
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: that game away when he's Bennett's first game as a

127
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: bill because I sucked. I told you all the fame

128
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: as a joke. You watched that game and you'll laugh.

129
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Oh now, see, hey, you know what. Something came up

130
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: over the weekend on Twitter that I found funny. You

131
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: tweeted it out. Somebody apparently what sent you a picture

132
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: of Don beebe chasing on Lee unlet in the Super Bowl,

133
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: and they said, Steve Tesh is my favorite. Look at

134
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: the hustle on this play, and you correctly. I think

135
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: you corrected the guy, right, I have to. I promised

136
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: correct everybody. I've corrected. They'll do the math. It's been

137
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what, has it been, twenty six years

138
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: since that happened. Yeah something like that. Yeah, like ninety

139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: was a ninety three. So yeah, in twenty six, twenty

140
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: seven years and uh like once a month twenty seven years,

141
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: I've had to correct somebody, you know, congratulating me on

142
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: making that play. Why do you think people are confused

143
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: about that? I don't know, small white guy, I don't know.

144
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that. Plus I don't know. Plus I

145
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: was I was on the TV, and people think back

146
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: there and they go back and look at and they

147
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: just think it must be me because you know, I

148
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: don't know. What does BB say about that, the fact

149
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: that you're mistaken in that? He doesn't care. I promised

150
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: him in one of those moments where we're you know,

151
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: where we're commiserating, or one of those heartfelt moments where

152
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: we have serious conversations, I promised him I'd never take

153
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: credit for it. That's a promise I regret. Otherwise I'd

154
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: just say, hey, thanks, Yeah, there's money to be made

155
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: probably with that play. Yeah, right, there was a lot

156
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: of funny lost on that place. Yeah, Leon, let he's

157
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the one who should dread the reappearance of that picture

158
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: of that image, right, I mean, Leon, I'm not really

159
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: screwed up on that play. Well, they were up thirty

160
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: five points, so it was kind of a it's a

161
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: drop in the buyers. Nothing meant nothing for the cowboys.

162
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: It didn't mean a lot to a lot of people though.

163
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: That play. Yeah, he ran them down, so that was good.

164
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Steve, you this is a warning for

165

Speaker 1: life that you're working right now. What is that about?

Speaker 1: about it. It's only a sixteen ounce. We have coffee

00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: Ye let me apologize. I don't know why we have

173
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: trouble getting my skype started up. And the thing is

174
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: we did had it started up and it just cut out.

175
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: You know, that's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, you live in

176
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: that You live in that downtrodden village next to us,

177
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: and Opie what it is, I don't know what it is,

178
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: but it's crazy that it's so crazy. So you went

179
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: through the show, right, Judy Battista from NFL Network and

180
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com and Andy Benoit, we got a lot

181
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: to talk with Judy Battista about, including the makeup of

182
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: the draft Seves. Let's let's give you some of the

183
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: news items. First, of all for the day. Ronald Darby,

184
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: former Bill second round draft pick, former Bill starting corner

185
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: who was traded to Philadelphia. Ronald Darby is moving on

186
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: to the Watchington Redskins that one year deal with three

187
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: million dollars. Derby is a native of that area, so

188
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: it's kind of coming home for him. Other than that,

189
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: that's really all that's going on in the NFL. A

190
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: lot of discussion, well there will be a lot of

191
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: discussion today. As a matter of fact, in tomorrow, buy

192
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: a telephone on the part of owners. We're getting together

193
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: in place of the league meetings. We're supposed to be

194
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: today tomorrow on Wednesday in Florida, and now they're gonna

195
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: meet then talked by a telephone, which is the right

196
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: way to do it. But I'm I'm on go ahead.

197
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: I think the draft is going to be a big

198
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: topic a discussion, right. I think they're gonna have it.

199
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: I don't think I think everybody's ready for it. And

200
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: there's no reason because the real point is this. It's

201
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: not that it's not that you know, it's at tone

202
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: deaf so much or whatever. They think. The real thing

203
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: for the league is this. While its two things really

204
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: let's not let's not make any excuses. Nobody will watch

205
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: anything else if it's a live draft on TV, and

206
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: whatever way, shape or form, it's not going to be

207
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: all the bells and whistles that has had before. Obviously,

208
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be very subdued comparatively speaking, but they'll

209
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: everybody will watch it. And secondly, there's no guarantee that

210
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: if they wait a month that it'll be any different,

211
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: that they'll even be any more ready to do it.

212
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: So the League may as well get it done, get

213
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: it out of the way, and force the teams to

214
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: make do with the information they have about the players

215
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: that they're interested in and just go and live with

216
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: the results. I don't I think. Plus, I think there's,

217
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: let's face it, it's gonna be much much easier for

218
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: the league to dial it back from the stage show

219
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: that it was gonna be in Vegas to this studio show,

220
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: remote reported event that it's going to turn into. It's

221
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: really it's a lot easier to go backwards down to

222
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: where there's probably gonna be than whatever it was gonna

223
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: be in Vegas, you know what I mean. So I

224
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: don't think there's gonna be any logistical issues getting it done.

225
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell can pop on Skype, tie it into the

226
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: networks in a way they go. You know, they'll just

227
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: start calling Roger Goodell and they'll have the clock running

228
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: and presto chango. They used to do it like this before.

229
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: So I don't think logistically it'll be fine. They'll get

230
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: it done. I think the way it looks publicly, I

231
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: don't think anybody cares that they're doing it in the

232
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: midst of this now. In three weeks, we may feel

233
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: a lot different if if things go darker than they

234
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: already are, But for the time being, people like whatever.

235
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: I think. I'm interested in watching it. I want to

236
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: see it. It'll be on primetime, it'll be out of

237
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: the way of the daily live stuff that we get

238
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: to watch every day. And so I don't think the

239
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: league is I'm just feel I see their point. I

240
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with it going ahead with it.

241
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people may, but I'm good

242
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: with it. I'm okay, But I think more. I think

243
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: the question now, and this might be something that's settled

244
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: this week at the owners meeting, is what the format

245
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: will be and what it will look like and you know,

246
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: it's a TV show, typically a three night TV show

247
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: or two nights in one day. There have been a

248
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: number of proposals, and the league has already told teams

249
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: to be prepared to draft away from their team headquarters,

250
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: which I don't know who's that favors who it doesn't.

251
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if every he does it, it's it's not

252
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: a benefit to anybody. Um, you know, do do general

253
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 1: managers set up shop at home with a scout or

254
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: two at home or do they just set up shop

255
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: at home on the phone with other of the rest

256
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: of their scouting staff and their personnel staff. Um, there's

257
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: there's even a I mean, Peter King wrote it, there's

258
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: a scenario where the commissioner sits at home in Broxville,

259
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: New York and announces the names from his living room couch.

260
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: You know, I mean that would be kind of crazy.

261
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: It would work, Certainly, it would work. I don't there's

262
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: any question about that. It would lack a lot of them,

263
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: the splash of the normal draft. Maybe maybe that's a

264
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: good thing too, by the way, and kind of get

265
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: this thing down to scale there, I do think. Look,

266
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: the draft is going on in April twenty third, that's

267
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: only what three weeks from this Thursday, so three and

268
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: a half weeks away. But the question is how's it

269
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: going to be on TV, how's it going to be

270
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: presented on TV? And what will it look like? And

271
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: it will be different, Steve, it will be different. And

272
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: there is a practical impact as far as teams unable

273
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: to check the physical status as some of their draft prospects.

274
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: I read somebody today. But it might not be that

275
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: much of an issue in the first round or two.

276
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: When you get down into the middle and late rounds,

277
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: then it's an issue. Then you might be kind of

278
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: throwing darts in the dark. But it can be done.

279
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: There's no question it can be done. It's instead of

280
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: you know what though, Murphy, it just occurred to me,

281
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: not for nothing. But it's gonna be less about the

282
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: TV people than it is the IT people. You know,

283
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: everybody's going to have their Internet people and their computer

284
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: people and they're making sure everything is locked solid and

285
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: you can you know, and you're connected where you're going

286
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: to be connected, and you're gonna just think about if

287
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: you're a Brandon being and Sean McDermot and you're not

288
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: in the same room you're gonna have one computer that's

289
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: hooked on a live feed from Brandon being to you,

290
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: and then another one that's hook from you and Brandon

291
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: being to Terry Pagoula. And then you're gonna have a

292
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: third one from Brandon being to the NFL Roger Goodell

293
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: or whoever it is. It's going to take all the

294
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: reported picks, you know. Then you're gonna have to have

295
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: one to Joe Shane here and Buffalo that he's gonna

296
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: keep track of your draft board. Um, you're gonna have

297
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: to disseminate this information live to the three you know,

298
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: to the guys who have a voice in that room,

299
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: which would be McDermott, Pagoula and Bean and maybe Joe

300
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: Shane and Dan Morgan. Maybe some of those guys in

301
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: the hit top of this guy to Malik uh Jackson

302
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: will probably be in there. So you got to connect

303
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: all those it's all about it says, gonna be all

304
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: about your IT people, getting those guys face to face

305
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: over the internet live uh and on the clock. Um,

306
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: and now it just it starts to be a logistical practice.

307
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: Rather than looking at going out and looking at players,

308
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be making sure that you've got you're set

309
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: up right, you know, in each and everybody's home and

310
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: an office wherever they're gonna be h it's it's uh yeah.

311
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: And then that says nothing about how Malik Boyd not

312
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: Malie Jackson. Um, it's it's it all. You know, how

313
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be set up in your own office to

314
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: each team individually, plus plus how they're going to televise

315
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: the stinking thing. You know. Yeah, that's crazy. It'll be

316
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: different and it remains to be seen how it will

317
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: work out. And we'll talk with Judy Batista about that

318
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: when she joined us at one o'clock. Two o'clock, Andy Benoit,

319
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: a long time NFL analysts, will be joining us to

320
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: talk about the draft, of course, and about the Bills.

321
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: We talked about this a lot, and we'll get into

322
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: it with Andy about the window of the Super Bowl contention,

323
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: championship contention for the Bills or any other team you

324
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: know I talked about is the window closed, for instance,

325
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: for the New Orleans Saints or the Los Angeles Chargers,

326
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: And is the window opening now for the Buffalo Bills?

327
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: And how big? How long is that window open? How

328
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: big is that window we'll talk with Andy Benoy because

329
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: he's on a podcast where he talks about the window

330
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: is open now for the Buffalo Bills, and just get

331
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: his sense about how long that window remains open. It's

332
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: different for every team, I think, Steve, but it remains

333
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: to be seen how that window works and whether the

334
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: Bills can take advantage of it. Yeah, you and I

335
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: talked about two about teams, and everybody wants to stay

336
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: competitive every year. You know, they never want to drop

337
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: off the map, and you've seen teams that were able

338
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: to do any of Baltimore and Pittsburgh are good examples

339
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: of Obviously, the Patriots during the Tom Brady era are

340
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: good examples. And the one that you and I pointed

341
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: to and I pointed to last week in our conversation

342
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: was Seattle. Now, certainly they haven't gotten back to the

343
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: super Bowl, but they've been in the conversation and in

344
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs on a regular basis ever since Russell Wilson

345
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: got into the league. Certainly they got to the two

346
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: super Bowls during his rookie contract, but they've continued to

347
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: remain competitive even after giving him the big contract. That

348
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: would be a good template, but I think that as

349
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: much as anything. When we talked to Andy Benoyd about

350
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: the window, I'm thinking these teams are trying to come

351
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: up with a formula and well, let's say it, process

352
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: that allows them to stay competitive continually. You know, that's

353
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: the holy grail, right Murph. I mean, certainly, you want

354
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: to put together a championship model, and there's going to

355
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: be certain things about a championship team that may be

356
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: different subtly or or drastically from other teams in and

357
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: around that franchise in a given year. But you want

358
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: to be able to have a run in you every year,

359
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: and if you can get in the playoffs regularly almost

360
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: every year, that's that's kind of where you want to be.

361
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's where Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean

362
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: have tried to craft their roster and their build of

363
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: this team. So I don't really, you know, I know

364
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: it's early. It's early to say this because they you know,

365
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: they got to the playoffs this year and it's the

366
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: kind of the first one and after the team has

367
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: been built in their image in the in the way

368
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: they want it. But I think they want to stay

369
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a window, is a good analogy.

370
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: I guess right, I think they want to knock down

371
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: a wall, you know, I think they want I think

372
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: they want that to be an archway through which they

373
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: go every year. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I

374
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: don't know if certainly you can say yeah, it's open

375
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: for him now because everything's built and they're looking good

376
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: and actually it looks like now I mean, if you

377
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: start doing punching numbers, to me, it looks like their

378
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: defense may gotten better. So yeah, I'm all about talking

379
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: about having this window open, But I don't I'm I'm

380
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: not anywhere near saying, you know, they got to get

381
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: it done or else. You know, when they pay Josh Allen,

382
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: it's going to be over. Well, I think they gotta

383
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: get it done. I don't know about or else. And

384
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's over when they pay Josh Allen.

385
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: But that'll be a different team and a different construct

386
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: of what that team looks like. I believe when Josh

387
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,239
Speaker 1: Allen gets into a second contract about two years away, right,

388
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it will be a different type of team

389
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: that now invests a lot of money, the bulk of

390
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: its salary cap in the franchise quarterback. They don't have

391
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: that right now, and I think I got to make

392
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: a difference in how they construct the team, I think,

393
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna get random being on the

394
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: show with this Wednesday this week and this question of

395
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: maintaining that guess a competitive window, championship window. The thing

396
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: that strikes me is that you need to draft well

397
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: because just as Josh thrives and you hope all your

398
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: players thrive on the rookie contract, if you have a

399
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: lot of guys on the rookie contract, good players, and

400
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 1: you're able to keep that going much easier than if

401
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: you have to go out and pick guys off the

402
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: free agent. You know, go with the free age and

403
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: market to pick your players. So to me, it's all

404
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: it's mostly about drafting well. And I think they've done that,

405
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,239
Speaker 1: but it'll behoove them to keep doing that. We'll talk

406
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: with Brandon being about it on Wednesday and when he

407
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: joins us. I don't I don't think the windows slams

408
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: shut when Josh Hellen gets to a second contract, But

409
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: I do think you're putting together a lot different team

410
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: in a lot different way when that happens. And I

411
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 1: think I think The thought is you got to get

412
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: out in front of it, though. Yeah, and you got

413
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: to say, okay, when in two years, we're gonna have

414
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: to start looking different, so we need to tie you know,

415
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball up with some key

416
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: contracts so that they don't leave when we have to

417
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: sign Josh when vice versa two. Some offensive players as well.

418
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, you got to get some guys lined up

419
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: and then start to rebuild and maybe you know, even

420
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: look out ahead to see what kind of what kind

421
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: of position groups are going to be available in two years,

422
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: and you know when their contracts are, what kind of

423
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: players are going to be out there. I don't much

424
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: like they do in the draft. For instance, if this

425
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: draft is heavy and wide receivers, well this is a

426
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: this is a draft when we need to if we

427
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: got a high paper, we're gonna get a different position

428
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: other than a wide receiver because we can get a

429
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: good wide receiver later. That kind of thing, even in

430
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: free agency. But you got to get out in front

431
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: of it, You're right, Murph, at least a year maybe

432
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: two when you're gonna have to pay a franchise quarterback

433
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: so you can build your rosters to not to drop

434
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: off a cliff after you do that. You know what

435
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Yep, yep, And that's that's that's really hard

436
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: to do. I think, yep, it is. That'll be the

437
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 1: challenge for the Bill sector. Here Trotter polled us up

438
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: today and kind of taking stock of where the Bills

439
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: are as they are through the first phase of free agency,

440
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: probably the bulk of free agency. If you look at

441
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: the Bills roster right now, what position battles intrigue you

442
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: the most? Which position battle do you think is almost

443
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: interesting to watch? You can give us a call eight

444
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: oh three h five fifty or two three one eight

445
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty? Is it the

446
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: offensive line? Right Where does Cody Ford wind up playing?

447
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: What do they do with the guy they just signed

448
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: late last week, Darryl Williams? Is he a challenging for

449
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: a starting spot? What do they do with some of

450
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: the others they have tai In Seki? Where does he

451
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: wind up playing? What do they do at right tackle

452
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: and at guard? Is that offensive line? Is it cornerback

453
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace versus Josh Norman versus whoever else? You know?

454
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: If E. J. Gaines, maybe I'll have something to say

455
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: about the cornerback spot. Is it defensive line? And I

456
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: think that's less of a position battle because you know

457
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: there's going to be seven, probably eight, maybe as many

458
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: as eight guys rotating through. They're pretty regularly based on

459
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: the way they played it. Or is it somebody else?

460
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight O three five fifty toll

461
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

462
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: Looking at the Bill's roster right now, which position battles

463
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: intrigue you the most? So fire, We three hundred forty

464
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: five votes in and it's close. Thirty seven percent say cornerback.

465
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: That's where my vote would go, the cornerback battle. Thirty

466
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: five percent say defensive line, twenty four percent say offensive line,

467
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: four percent say other eighth three five fifty twenty three

468
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: one eight five fifty two five fifty. Were your thoughts

469
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: on that, Steve, what do you think which position battle

470
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: intrigued to the most? Um? I would say defensive line

471
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: because I think it's an important thing. But I don't

472
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: think I think the three guys they signed in free agency,

473
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: I think they're absolute shoe ins to be on the team.

474
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know the battle is there, because then you're

475
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: talking about the eighth ninth guy, because they're gonna rotate

476
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: eight guys through their eight defensive linemen are gonna be

477
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: on this game this roster on game day, let alone

478
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: during the week. So those guys, there's gonna be a

479
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: ton of those guys on the squad. I think the

480
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: think the guy that's gonna make the biggest difference is

481
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: the cornerback opposite Tredavious White to Josh Josh Norman, E. J. Gaines,

482
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: a draft pick, Levi Wallace. There's gonna be some guys

483
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: because let's face it, you're not getting Tradevious White off

484
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: the field with a crowbar. He's there, and same thing

485
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: with poor Year in high those guys are there. Those

486
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: that other corner is huge for this team. I think

487
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: this defense could really be good, and that guy is

488
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot to say about it, and who

489
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: it is is really gonna gonna make a big difference.

490
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: I agree. All right, we're gonna take a break here,

491
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: but we have room to give you a phone line.

492
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: Give us a call on eight fifty twenty three one

493
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,760

510
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,200

00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: I did it last Friday. But our IT people that

514
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: we talked about how they may come into a play when, um,

515
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, the draft comes around. But our IT people

516
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: have been amazing, amazing. The IT people booked me up

517
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: last Friday, and I'm sure they're working more important things

518
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: with the football department, doing amazing work. And they're probably

519
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: in good company all over the country, right it yea,

520
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: all these companies getting everything up and running the way

521
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: they should be as best they can be. That's pretty cool,

522
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: it is, I tell you, And I got an we

523
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: got an email. You probably got the same one where

524
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: they've got you know, everybody's on these Zoom meetings. It's

525
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: a new kind of app or whatever. We're doing this

526
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: show on Skype, but there's all this other thing called Zoom,

527
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: which is new to me through this show on a

528
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: virus quarantine yep. So they give you this email. The

529
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: IT people are on Zoom all day every day. They

530
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: got an open conversation and they emailed everybody in the

531
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: off us, you and me and everybody. So if we

532
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: have a problem, just tune into that and say hey,

533
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: what's going on? And they're on there already. They just

534
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: pop on and so it's like a live phone call

535
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: all day that you just pop on and do it.

536
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: I guess just being there that's like the best way

537
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: to do it, I guess. But that's every business who's

538
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: trying like which is everybody trying to get people to

539
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: work from home. I mean, think about us, Murph, You

540
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: going that we had that conference call again this morning,

541

542
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: whole team, right, yeah, youres like you hear that. There's

543
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: like twenty five people on this conference call every morning,

544
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: and I people are looking out for all of them. Yeah,

545
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: and I know, well maybe there's maybe three you being

546
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: one of them and Jay being the other. Who are

547
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: two people who are worse than I at being tech savvy?

548
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: They got their work cut out for him? Right Yeah?

549
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: Are you saying I'm worse than you tech savvy? I'm not.

550
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm not the one who wasn't able to get their

551
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: Skype on this morning. So I can say any I

552
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: want today bragging rights for the day. All right, We'll

553
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: see the next time you leave your mute buttman. So

554
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: I shout out to all the I people, and of course,

555
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: as usual, a shout out to the medical professionals have

556
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: been in me easy if you're following the progress of

557
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: the coronavirus and what's going on, especially in New York

558
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: City where hospitals are overwhelmed and medical people are working

559
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: double and triple shifts, and they're really doing great work.

560
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: And look, what we do here pales in comparison. There's

561
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: no comparison what we do as far as the importance

562
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: of what they're doing there. They're they're they're doing life

563
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: saving things at these hospitals in New York City and

564
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: soon probably all over America, and we just salute them. Steve,

565
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: I just have to say it. I'm blown away with

566
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: the dedication and I'll hid these people. They're working in

567
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: the hospitals in New York City and all over the country.

568
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: Right now, it seems like we're approaching the peak you

569
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: would hope, of the disease and where the stories that

570
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: come out of these hospitals are just amazing. Yeah, it's interesting.

571
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: It's interesting because you know, think about it, they go

572
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: into the medical profession want to help people and do

573
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: good and they're gifted at it, and it's their passion

574
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: and they want to do it. They didn't nobody signed

575
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: up for this, you know, ye nobody went to med

576
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: school thing, and that certainly they always talk about as

577
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: we're you know, if a pandemic ever strikes, and it

578
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: all sounds like movie stuff, right, nobody signs up for this.

579
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: Do you see these poor nurses and these young doctors

580
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: and these interns and all these people getting called in

581
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: and I and there are people probably in your life.

582
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: I know there are people in our life, in our

583
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: family and our extended family who are getting called in.

584
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: And it is it's unbelievable how that what they have

585
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: to do in their shifts every day. And I got

586
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: to tip my hat to them. And if they're you know,

587
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: if there's anything I can do, I would do it.

588
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: But the best thing to do is, like all of us,

589
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: just sit at home, just don't get sick. Don't do

590
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: anything it's gonna make you or anybody else sick. And

591
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: that's the best thing you can do. And so and

592
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: for me, it's an inconvenience. For them, oh my gosh,

593
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing to see what they're going through. And

594
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: I salute them just like you do. Salute them and

595
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: honor them and wish them well. And someday this would

596
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: be over. It's gonna be weird. Have you thought about

597
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to dwell on coronavirus, sady, because we

598
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: do a football to talk about see if we got

599
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: a call on the line. But started to think, and

600
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: maybe I'm a little bit premature about what it will

601
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: be like when I don't know the all clear of salad,

602
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: Will there being all clear, will the well the fire

603
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, will the fire horns go off and volunteer

604
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: fire companies let you know that it's over, like the

605
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: bombs have stopped falling on London. Or will it be

606
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: more of a gradual thing. I wonder what it will

607
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: look like at the other end of this. Do you

608
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: have any thought on that? Yeah, I had a couple.

609
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: I thought about a couple of times. I think the

610
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 1: smart thing and I say this with the laughing, if

611
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: it is all clear and we've gotten through this and

612
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: that and this tragedy is behind us, I hope it

613
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: kind of lets up step by step the way it

614
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: kind of happened. Because if if they just you know,

615
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: sound the fire horns and the and the volunteer fire

616
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: horn and it's and it's an all clear given by whoever,

617
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: and you can you imagine the bender we're all gonna

618
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: go on. I mean, you know, you're just gonna go

619
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: out and stay out, you know, anywhere to go home?

620
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: Right probably my hope. My house is painted, my room

621
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: is clean, my clause is folded. You know, everything's done.

622
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: I got the you know, I fixed the leaky roof,

623
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: I fixed the squeak in the door. I sorted my

624
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: my bench and my tool bench. Everything's like, you know,

625
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: I got nothing to do. I'm out, you know, and

626
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: that it'll be kind of like that, right, Yeah, it

627
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: probably will be. Yeah, Yeah, I did a lot of

628
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: that stuff this weekend too, you know, got the hot

629
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: tap up and rolland paid bills, got my texts together.

630
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna ask you what you did this

631
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: weekend because it's pretty sad, right, it's pretty forlorn, both

632
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: of our Yeah, and it's that's awful. I just we did,

633
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, some yard work, and I'm lucky. I've got

634
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: my house a little bit secluded. They got in. My

635
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: neighbors are a long way away, even though we're kind

636
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: of in the village, so we got a big yard.

637
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: We can go out and do yard work at least

638
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: get outside. But then you know, yesterday's weather hits and yeoh,

639
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do right? So um,

640
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: even my dogs are looking at me funny, like what

641
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, what do we do now? What are you

642
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: doing right? So? Um? Yeah, it was it was a

643
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: rough weekend, and you can start to feel the weight

644
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: of normality starting to attach itself to not doing anything right,

645
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: not leaving, not going out and saying, you know what

646
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go out and get a beer

647
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: with my bud, you know. Or I'm gonna go out

648
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 1: and you want some food, let's go, let's go out

649
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: to dinner or whatever. You just can't do that rum

650
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: And it's it's starting to where I don't think about

651
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: doing that now. Yeah, well I do think. And again

652
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: this goes to what it's like after this is over.

653
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 1: Whenever it's over, I think we'll be changed a little bit,

654
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: maybe a lot, you know, And the way we think

655
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: about going out and doing things, moving away from home,

656
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: getting out of the house to do things. I think

657
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: that'll be changed. And which way I don't know yet.

658
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I will say this, Murph, whether it's

659
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: better or worse, I think it's up to us. Yeah,

660
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta work towards having it, change it

661
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: for the better. I think you got to appreciate things.

662
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: I'll appreciate things more. I'll you know, appreciate And also,

663
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: you know there's a certain thing you cut off too.

664
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there are certain things that are probably good

665
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: for us not to do. Right yesterday I made I

666
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: made a pact with my wife. I left my phone

667
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: on the you know, on my nightstand all day. I

668
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't go near it because you know, you

669
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: get into that eger down that rabbit hole, and you

670
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: just you're on the cot, You're just thumbing through your phone.

671
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: All of a sudden you look up and it's two

672
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: and a half three hours later, and it's like, what

673
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: did I do? You know, because there's you know, you're

674
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: trying to while away the hours. So I did that,

675
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: and I think in some ways, in situation like that,

676
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: that's better than the alternative. Will be different, no question

677
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: about it. A Twitter question today, looking at the Buffalo

678
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: roster right now, which position battle intrigued you the most.

679
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: Let's take a call from Sean and Cheek Dwaga. Hello, Sean,

680
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: you're on the air with let's go ahead, all right, Well,

681
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm choosing other for my option, and it's gonna be

682
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: the tight end position is the most intriguing to me

683
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: when you look at the two Super Bowl teams we

684
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: just said they had Kelsey and Kittle. They're absolute game changers.

685
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: It's a mismall which I think Dawson Knox has the

686
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: potential to be for us. And then Tyler Croft, of

687
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: that big contract that they paid him, you would hope

688
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: that maybe he shines. That's not a bad thought, Steve,

689
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't know if it's a

690
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: great physician battle. I mean, who's gonna make the roster

691
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: or who's gonna start. I think Dackson Knox will be

692
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 1: the starter, and I think Knox and probably uh Croft

693
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: and one more will will make the roster. You know,

694
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: don't you think, Steve? What do you? Yeah, they'll be

695
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: looking for Tommy Sweeney to step back Lee Smith. Lee

696
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: Smith will be probably be on there that he'll have

697
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: us something to say about who's in that room and Croom.

698
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: Croom is off of I R as well, So it's

699
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it'll be interesting to see who emerges from that.

700
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's any question the top two or three,

701
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna be set. They'll probably have four on the roster.

702
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: It'll be Weather Croom and I think for me, Lee

703
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: Smith will probably be on there because he serves such

704
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: a specific purpose. Yeah, but for but for the rest

705
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: of them, between Kroome and Sweeney, because Lee Smith will

706
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: probably be the fourth guy if they bring a fifth

707
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: guy in, a bring a guy in, he surprises him.

708
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't you know. I think that remains to be seen.

709
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: It'll all depend for me. It'll be it'll be knocks

710
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: Croft and either Sweeney or Chrome and Lee Smith. And

711
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: however good Sweeney gets this offseason will say how whether

712
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: he plays or not, or whether he goes the practice

713
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: squad or something. That sounds plausible. Yeah, that sounds plausible.

714
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: Our question, looking at the Bills roster right now, which

715
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: position battle intrigues you the most? Let's go to the

716
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: tweet sheet Frontier by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers

717
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. On the tweet sheet, when we

718
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: ask the question which position battle intrigues you the most?

719
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: Seth tweets in I'm most excited about the defensive line group.

720
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be a big strength this year,

721
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: most intrigued by the quarter cornerback competition. See if Levi

722
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: can hold off another event in camp. Both groups will

723
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: complement each other nicely. Linebackers as the meat of the

724
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 1: sandwich takes for further dominance. He's all over the defense.

725
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: What do you think of that, Steve? Yeah, I mean

726
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: I like it too. I mean I'm excited to see

727
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: if the defensive line can take a step forward. They

728
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: didn't you know they were? They were the tenth team

729
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: in the league by the number of sacks they got.

730
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: Most of their production came remember Murph most They would

731
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: have been better, I think last year. Remember Josh Allen

732
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: was turning it over at an alarming rate for the

733
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: first five games of the season, remember ye. Once he

734
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: stopped that, then the defense started to climb back in

735
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: with the pass rush and the way their defensive line

736
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: was ranked. Once they stopped having to overcome all the turnovers,

737
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: they climbed back into the point where they were a

738
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: top ten defense in sacks. But it took them the

739
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: entire second half or second two thirds of the season

740
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: to get there. From the hole they dug themselves trying

741
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: to dig out from underneath all the turnovers that were

742
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: had by the offense. Once Josh stopped turning over, the

743
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: defensive line played much better because they're the opposing offense

744
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: was not in such favorable conditions. So I think if

745
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: I think with the turnover in the interior and the

746
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: edge rushers that they brought in in free agency, I'm

747
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: really excited to see how good this defense can be

748
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: from the word go this next year. And I think

749
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna say a lot. So that does intrigue me.

750
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: But I don't know that the battle of who's gonna

751
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: play is what it's about for me. I think it's

752
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 1: about the fact that you know they're gonna be good.

753
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: I expect them to be really good anyway, but I

754
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: think their offense is gonna not give them so many

755
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: holes to dig out of through the early part of

756
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: the season like it did last year. One more from

757
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet looking at the roster, which position group

758
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: battle intrigues you the most? From Bills and Mets fan,

759
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line will have the biggest impact

760
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: on our success this year. A lot of familiar faces

761
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: and cannot wait to see how they continue to improve

762
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 1: as a unit. There aren't questions on the offensive line. Steve,

763
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: you know, you don't know. If I, you know, held

764
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: a gun to your head and said who's the right tackle,

765
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: you'd probably think before you get answered, right, you can't

766
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: just jump, you know. It may be it may be

767
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: the Darryl Williams turns out to be the right tackle. Yep.

768
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: And if that's the case and Cody Ford moves down inside,

769
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: what happens to John Feliciano and Quentin Spain? Um, you know,

770
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: just Feliciano stay on the field at left tackle or

771
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: left guard, and they moved Spain to the bench as

772
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: the swing guard. Who becomes the swing tackle? Then? Um,

773
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: it's It's gonna be interesting to see because I think

774
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: a couple of the I think they're gonna try and

775
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: get better up front, and they're gonna bring in They

776
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: brought in some competence, a little bit of competition with

777
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: darry Williams. Will see how he plays. I don't know.

778
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: We may be expecting too much from him, but yeah,

779
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: I don't They've got the same starting five available going

780
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 1: forward for this next year. I don't know if it'll

781
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: be the same starting five when the when the season starts,

782
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, And that may be just because it better competition.

783
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: They might be better, you know, a different starting five.

784
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: All right, take a break here, we'll come back and

Speaker 1: City Chiefs and the Rams game from November of twenty eighteen.

797
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: Rams won that game fifty four to fifty one. An

798
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: amazing game. But later this month on April twenty seventh,

799
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: saw Bills Cowboys Monday Night Football at the New Airfield

800
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: and which one they're gonna show October from twenty seven? Yeah,

801
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: and amazing turned it over like nineteen thousand times, and

802
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: I got one with a field goal at the end. Yeah,

803
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: a second his second try at a field goal, right,

804
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: it was Nick Folk, Right, he missed the one, and

805
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: or he made it, and they had called the time out.

806
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: The Bills had called the time out to ice him

807
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: just before he tried it, so they went back and

808
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: tried it. Begin. I know that'll be a tough one

809
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: to watch, but you know what, I think I'll what

810
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: is that three weeks from tonight? For from tonight, I

811
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: think I'll try to watch that one, Steve. That was

812
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: an amazing game. I broadcast that game, and I distinctly

813
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: recall sitting in the booth for maybe a half hour afterwards,

814
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: trying to make sense of what just went down. How

815
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: the Bills could lose that game still baffles me. And

816
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: they lost. It was an amazing loss. And everything had

817
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: gone well for Buffalo that day. It was at night

818
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: nighttime game, Monday night football. Everything started out so well.

819
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: They're getting takeaways, scoring on on takeaways. I think George

820
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: Wilson had won, and they lost it on a on

821
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: a second field goal. Tribe Folk, amazing? Are they are?

822
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: They showing it? On Monday night is that the thing

823
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: or they just different times. April twenty seventh, is that

824
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: on Monday twenty seven? Oh okay, so it's Monday Night football.

825
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: They're showing Monday Night Football in March and April. Yeah, well, okay,

826
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: April twenty seventh is one, two, three, four weeks from tonight.

827
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: They start tonight with the Chiefs and Rams game from

828
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: last November and four weeks of tonight. Yeah, that was

829
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: a great game, Chiefs. That was that was unbelievable. And

830
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too. You think about back about

831
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: about the Rams and that run they put together. Let

832
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: me just say this, I'm not I can't be impressed

833
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: by it anymore. The Ram run day. But that Ram,

834
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: the run that the Rams put together, go to the

835
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and then got beat by New England thirteen

836
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: thirteen three. I'm I'm kind of unimpressed by it anymore.

837
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: Why well, you go back and look at this Monday

838
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Night game that they're gonna show tonight. Patrick Mahomes through

839
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: two picks in the last two minutes of that game

840
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: and they still only lost by four. I mean, it

841
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: looked like the Chiefs were down and out and the

842
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: Chiefs still should have won that game. They were way

843
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 1: better than the than the Rams, I thought. And then

844
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: the Rams get to the Super Bowl on a missed

845
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: non call pass interference by Nikel Robie Coleman. The Rams

846
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: should have been anywhere near that. You know, Rams had

847
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: great defense that year. And that's our buddy Wade from

848
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: a week ago. He did a great defense. And you know,

849
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: as Sean McVay did a good job with this quarterback

850
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, that was as well as golf has played

851
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,919
Speaker 1: in his brief NFL career so far. Tire your season,

852
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this too, Sean, Sean McVay, have

853
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: you ever seen a coach have more swag in a

854
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: short time than that guy got what he took over

855
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 1: the Rams. And I think he took over for Jeff Fisher,

856
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: And Jeff Fisher was vilified by the way he handed.

857
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: Nobody liked him. They thought he's a bad coach, overrated, right,

858
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: So then Sean McVay comes in and turns him around quickly,

859
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he's like the Vince Lombardi

860
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: of the two thousands. Right now, I have to well,

861
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: you'll have to explain to me what you mean by swag.

862
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: I mean, just like this, this swagger, like everybody thought

863
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: he was like this new genius and had had figured

864
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: football out like nobody else ever had. His offense was

865
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: the best. Anybody who had ever had a cup of

866
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: coffee with him was now a head coaching candidate. There's

867
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: like three guys in the league that did that, that

868
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: got a job because of their association with him. I mean,

869
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like that. Now, eighteen months later,

870
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that it was warranted. I agree, I agree.

871
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: I always make people to find swag because they don't

872
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: think there's any real definition how it's used. But swag

873
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: was an acronym, you know, That's how it got started.

874
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 1: Swags means stands for the four lighters. Swag stands for

875
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: stuff we all get. Now what they got to do

876
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: with Sean mcvays. Well now it's now, it's expanded, now

877
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: it's gone. Now it's more than that these days, okay,

878
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: And it's short as swag stuff we all get. It's

879
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: also swagger, which means like the John Wayne thing where

880
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: you walk in and you own the joint, right, So

881
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: it's all of that stuff rolled into one. And okay,

882
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: so that's what I'm talking about. He's just got this

883
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: big reputation that he earned overnight, seemingly, and they did.

884
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: They made it the Super Bowl, So you know, you

885
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: gotta tip your hat to him. But like this Rams

886
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: game that we're talking this Rams Chiefs candle we're talking about,

887
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna get aired tonight. You watch it. You tell

888
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: me you don't think the Chiefs should have won that game,

889
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm telling you so. And then getting to the super

890
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: Bowl on a missed call. I don't know. We'll see, Okay, Yeah, well, look,

891
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's just the swag thing that

892
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: stops me for a second. But I agree with you.

893
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: I think there's too much hype around the Rams a

894
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: year ago and about McVeigh. And you're right, all these

895
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: assistant coaches wound up getting interviewed and some of them

896
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: got jobs out of it. I don't know, I don't know.

897
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean, was it warranted? Probably not? Probably not. Hey,

898
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about where the league is going with coronavirus,

899

00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: has a maximum value of four million dollars. Season is

912
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: six year in the NFL, played with the Bills for

913
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: two years and it's twenty games over the last three

914
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: years in Philadelphia. Ronald Garvey now with Washington. The troint

915
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: Lions have agreed to a contract with wide receiver Geronimo Allison.

916
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 1: He's agreed to a one year contract for the veteran

917
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,439
Speaker 1: minimum of nine hundred ten thousand dollars. He spent last

918
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: year with the Green Bay Packers. The Chargers planning on

919
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: writing Tyrod Taylor is their veteran option quarterback, likely paired

920
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 1: with a rookie quarterback in the upcoming draft La Boats.

921
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: It's a deep roster outside of quarterback, but Tyrod Taylor

922
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: says he is he's given a chance as a starter.

923
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: The Chargers can make some noise out West. We have

924
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on this team. If I'm the

925
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: guy that's calling the shots, he says, I know for

926
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: sure that we're going to turn a lot of heads.

927
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: Didn't take much of a sales pitch from DM Jason

928
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: Light and coach Brucearians to bring Tom Brady to Tampa Bay.

929
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: Brady did much of the talking, appearing on ESPN's Get

930
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: Up Monday. The Bucks said at the first phone call

931
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: on March eighteenth, Brady was actually the one selling them

932
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: on why he should go to Tampa Bay. That's exactly

933
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: where he wound up just a little bit more than

934
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: a week ago. And that is the update from One

935
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: Bill's Life. John Murphy and Steve Tasker in our one

936
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo Studio and joining us right now. I'm the hotline.

937
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: Weren't home today, and I imagine our next guest is

938
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: as well. She's an NFL dot Com reporter, NFL Network reporter.

939
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: Happy to have Judy Batista on the line with us. Hello, Judy,

940
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker Upper in Buffalo. Thanks coming

941
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: out today. Are you in fact at home today in Manhattan?

942
00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: In fact, yes, at home where everybody else is Basically, yeah,

943
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: you should be in Florida. I would think this week

944
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: right for the owners meetings, which you're going to take

945
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: place in some form or with a telephone this week, right, yes, right,

946
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: This would have been when they had the annual meeting

947
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: with the coaches and gms and owners altogether. It's supposed

948
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: to be in Palm Beach. Instead, they're doing like one

949
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: hour conference calls the team presidents or on one today

950
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: and the owners will be on one tomorrow, and that's

951
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 1: sort of going to be a placeholder until they hope

952
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: they can have a meeting at the end of May.

953
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 1: That looks a little nic you too, obviously, so we'll see. Yeah.

954
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: I gotta to ask you this as well. These meetings

955
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: over you know, one hour long conference called these meetings

956
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: last really when they're meeting in Palm Beach, they meet

957
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: all day every day. This is really going to curtail

958
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 1: their ability to get anything substance of substance done, is

959
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: it not. Yeah, the only real thing that has to

960
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: get voted on now is the owners has to vote

961
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: on the expansion of the layoffs and sort of have

962
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: you know, the tiebreakers that are going to get into

963
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: that and you know what days it'll be played, that

964
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: kind of thing. That's the only thing that has to

965
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: get voted on now. They've sort of pushed everything off

966
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: on the sort of a playing rules votes until they

967
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: hope that they can have a meeting in mid May,

968
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, right before Memorial Day. That meeting is usually

969
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: just owners, but now they are hoping they can get

970
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: coaches and gms there too, because they want to be

971
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: able to go over the playing rules, you know, with

972
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: the coaches in the room, so that the coaches can

973
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: have a voice and you know, weigh in on what

974
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: they think about the playing rules. All of that usually

975
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: happens at this meeting that would be taking place right now,

976
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: but they push it off in the hopes that they'll

977
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: be able to gather then you know, if if they

978
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: can't do it, then you know, there's a feeling that

979
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: perhaps the owners are going to have to vote without

980
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: having a meeting with the coaches or even you know,

981
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: wait maybe until later in the summer. And have a meeting.

982
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: I mean they can you know, they could have the

983
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: meeting in June, even July if they want, but um,

984
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: you know that's the choice they're going to pay right now.

985
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: That main meeting is still on the schedule. Um. But

986
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: but the meeting, the conference calls that are happening right now,

987
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, are on very brief They're going to go

988
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: over you know, plans for how they hope to hold

989
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: the draft, um, you know, things like that. But there's

990
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: not any kind of significant playing rules votes or anything

991
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: like that on the docket for today. Talk about some

992
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: of these issues. Juny, the t star guests, Judy, the

993
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: expansion of postseason. That was my understanding was they could

994
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: have gone and done that even without a new CBA. Right,

995
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: that was not part of the new CBA. Wasn't That

996
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: is corrected, They could have done that all along, um,

997
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: but they decided to sort of roll it all into

998
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: the new CBA. So the only thing that the owners

999
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: have to vote on, it's really just a formality. It's

1000
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: going to pass. Um is adding the extra wildcard team

1001
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: to each of the conferences. And then they you know,

1002
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: the television contract that goes along with broadcasting that extra

1003
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: wildcard game. They have to vote to approve that. Again,

1004
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 1: that's just a fun reality. It's going to be approved.

1005
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 1: So whenever football starts up again, and hopefully it starts

1006
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: up on time, but whenever it does, there will be

1007
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: an extra playoff game to look forward to. People are

1008
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: sort of downplaying. I think that's a pretty significant move

1009
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: in terms of a you know, the number of teams

1010
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: that make the postseason, and our teams qualify for the

1011
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: postseason and be only one team getting to buy for

1012
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: the first round for the wildcard round, don't you. I

1013
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: think that'll be a big difference in the way the

1014
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: games played. Huge. First of all, the advantage to the

1015
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: team that gets to buy it's always been an advantage,

1016
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: but now it is a gigantic advantage to have that

1017
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: to be you've got to be the number one seed

1018
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: in your conference. Now that's a huge advantage for that team.

1019
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: I also think it'll because, first all, it should keep

1020
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: more teams in contention down the stretch, you know, which

1021
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: means that you know, when we go into December, you know,

1022
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: we've seen teams in the past that are sort of

1023
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: out of it, and you know, they're not that compelling Theoretically,

1024
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: this will keep more teams in this and frankly, it

1025
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: may extend some head coaching careers. You know, we've we've

1026
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: seen coaches don't get very long to turn programs around. Theoretically,

1027
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: this will get a lot of teams closer to playoff spots,

1028
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: and that's probably a good thing for head coaches. And

1029
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: this is just isn't it more of a finality formality?

1030
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: You said, obviously? But how interested or you know, how

1031
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: big a deal is it? You know the logistics of

1032
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: what weekend on wildcard or who traveled that kind of

1033
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: thing in the tiebreakers? Don't they just expand the tie

1034
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: breakers to one more slot other than the one? I mean,

1035
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: that seems pretty straightforward. I mean, this is just a

1036
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: rubber stamp today, correct, correct, Yes, and the voters tomorrow, Yes,

1037
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: it is a complete rubber stamp. They are all in favor,

1038
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: needless to say, of having another wildcard team in it.

1039
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: It gives more teams a chance, so that makes the

1040
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: owners happy. And obviously there's more revenue coming in because

1041
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: you know, the networks get to bid to broad cast

1042
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: the game and that's all good for them. So yeah,

1043
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: this is a rubber stamp. There's not going to be

1044
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: a whole lot of conversation about this, which is why

1045
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: my understanding is it's just a one hour conference call

1046
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: with owners tomorrow, and again, part of the conference call

1047
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: is not just on the voting matters. They're going to

1048
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: go over with the owners how they hope to stage

1049
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: the draft later on in April. One thing I do

1050
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: I got to ask you about the conversation. How much

1051
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: conversation in these phone calls with the owners today are

1052
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: going to center around the draft taking place on schedule?

1053
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: And what will they decide if anything? Well, I don't

1054
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: think they're going to decide anything. You know, the people

1055
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: who are in charge of staging the draft are coming

1056
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: up with alternate plans for how they're going to do it. Obviously,

1057
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: it's all going to be done remotely. You know, nobody's

1058
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: going to be gathering in any place, So they're they're

1059
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: going to go over with the owners where they are

1060
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: right now on you know, what it's going to look

1061
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: like and how they're going to do it, and how

1062
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: the commissioner is going to do it, and you know,

1063
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: how will they bring in in the prospects, you know,

1064
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: will they all be on iPads? Or iPhones talking to

1065
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: the commissioner. Um. So they're going to go over that

1066
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: with the team presidents today obviously that the teams need

1067
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: to know how the draft is going to be conducted,

1068
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: and they're going to go over with the owners and

1069
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: you know, sort of go over how it's going to

1070
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: be broadcast. It's look, they are scrambling to say the least, um,

1071
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, they this is you're coming up basically with

1072
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: an entirely new way to do the draft on the

1073
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: fly under you know, really difficult circumstances. Obviously. I mean

1074
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: one question that's sort of out there is like where

1075
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: is the commissioner going to be physically to do the draft? Um?

1076
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: You know. So those those are the things that are

1077
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: still getting ironed out. They've you know, they're they are

1078
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: fortunate in one way that it's the off season, right,

1079
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they are not in the same bind as

1080
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: the other leagues that are in season or Major League

1081
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: Baseball that's waiting to start their season. Um. But you know,

1082
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: the draft is the second biggest thing on the NFL

1083
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: calendar all year or so they still want to make it,

1084
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, a good event, and obviously it's a huge

1085
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: moment for the guys who are getting drafted, and they

1086
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: don't want to give them short shrift, but you know,

1087
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: they've got to balance out with the sensitivity at the moment.

1088
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 1: It's obviously an extremely difficult moment for the country. Judy

1089
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: Batista our guests from NFL dot Com NFL Network reporter Judy,

1090
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: with all of that changing about the NFL Draft in

1091
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: April April twenty three, do you think they'll be less

1092
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: pressure on teams to get it right or maybe even

1093
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 1: more pressure, especially as the draft moves along into the

1094
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: later rounds. Maybe without all these free draft checkups and physicals,

1095
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: maybe there won't be you know, if somebody could could

1096
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: whiff on a pick and everybody's like, well it was

1097
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: a different draft that year. Yeah. If you you know

1098
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 1: my colleague Daniel Jeremiah, who obviously studied this and knows

1099
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: way more about this, I do think that you will

1100
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: see teams making safer picks. Is I think he put

1101
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: it like, you know, hitting singles, not trying for triples.

1102
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: And that's probably a good guest because there's no question

1103
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: the later round guys that they don't have as much

1104
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: information on and you know, they haven't seen them at

1105
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: pro days and they haven't had meetings with these guys.

1106
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's more of a risk the top of

1107
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: the draft guys. You know, they've been studying them all along,

1108
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: so they should have a pretty good read on them now.

1109
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: You know. They look they're they're all in the same boat.

1110
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of pressure on gms anyway, you know,

1111
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: and careers are decided on these picks. But they're all

1112
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: on the same boat. You know. I know that some

1113
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: gms are upsets at the draft as going forward, but

1114
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think they're prevailing. Feeling among a lot

1115
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: of owners is like a lot of people in the

1116
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: country have a lot worse troubles right now than NFL

1117
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: general managers. So figure out a way to get your

1118
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 1: work in and off they go. They want to hold

1119
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: the draft and they want to they want to get

1120
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,760
Speaker 1: the players allocated. John Murphy's Team Tasker with Judy Batista

1121
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: from NFL Network NFL dot Com and Judy, I want

1122
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: to ask you about the Competition Committee. They will not

1123
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 1: meet anything to present this week, but I would imagine

1124
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: there'll be some discussion and maybe there already has been

1125
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: about last year's one year rule about the is to

1126
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: replay on pass interference? Is that going by the Board's

1127
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: that going away this year? Well, I talked to somebody

1128
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: on the Competition committee last week. Whup believes that it

1129
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: will die as it was constructed last year, which means,

1130
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, there won't be the same kind of rule

1131
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: where everything gets decided in New York, where coaches can

1132
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: challenge on the field. The question is do they come

1133
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: up with something to replace that or do they just

1134
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: chuck the entire idea of having replay review for pass interference?

1135
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: You know, some of the things that they've talked about

1136
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,720
Speaker 1: are do you have like a three person panel handling reviews.

1137
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: I think there's a feeling separate from pass interference that

1138
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: having just one person in al Riveron try to do

1139
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: all of these replay reviews is just too much for

1140
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: any one person to handle. You know, you've got all

1141
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: the games that happen at the same time at one o'clock,

1142
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: You've got the games that happened at four o'clock. You've

1143
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: got the Monday night games, You've got the Thursday night games,

1144
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 1: You've got the sundayncames. It's a lot, it's a lot

1145
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: of fresher on just one person and so Sean Payton

1146
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: has floated the idea of maybe do you have a

1147
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,760
Speaker 1: three person panel to do it. A lot of coaches

1148
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: like the idea of a sky judge, which would be

1149
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: somebody up in the booth. The Competition committee is a

1150
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: little bit concerned about a sky judge. They want to

1151
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: know what kind of parameters would your bet for for

1152
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: what that person is responsible for? Is that the final

1153
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,919
Speaker 1: authority or would that person be able to call down

1154
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: to the you know, guys on the field, the crew

1155
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: on the field, and say, hey, you missed you know

1156
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: that backside block? I mean what you know? What's what

1157
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: will they be in charge of? That's a big question.

1158
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: So again they've they've still got a little time, you know,

1159
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: if they're going to have that meeting in mid May,

1160
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: they've got some time to try to figure out. But

1161
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: those are the things they're discussing. The sky judge idea again,

1162
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: maybe you have an a three person panel in New

1163
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: York to do replay review. But one thing that or

1164
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: two things that they seem sure of, is we will

1165
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: not see past interference replay the way we thought last year.

1166
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: Something else they replace it or they disappear completely. But

1167
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: they're not going to repeat what they did last year.

1168
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: And the other thing is a feeling that you just

1169
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: can't have all of this on just one person deciding

1170
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: all of these reviews. Judie, I got to ask you

1171
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: one thing about an elephant that maybe isn't in the

1172
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: middle of the room yet, but has certainly standing at

1173
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: the doorway. The calendar keeps moving, and so does the

1174
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: deadline for deciding whether training camps are going to be

1175
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: started on time. Have you seen anything on the horizon

1176
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: or any casual conversations from owners or the commissioner's office

1177
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 1: about when they're going to start thinking about maybe moving

1178
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: that that timeline back or forward or what have you. Well,

1179
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: I am sure they're thinking. I'm sure they're thinking about everything.

1180
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: They would obviously like to keep every thing as on

1181
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: schedule as they can. You know, sort of when you

1182
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: talk to people, they sort of shrug their shoulders and say,

1183
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, sort of who knows right, who knows where

1184
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: we're going to be a month from now, let alone,

1185
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, end of July. So you know, the NFL

1186
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: has the luxury of a little bit of time here.

1187
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: They don't have to you know, they don't have to

1188
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: make those decisions yet, which is why you know they

1189
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: waited on the draft as long as they could before

1190
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: they had to make that decision. They haven't made a

1191
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: decision on that league meeting in place in May yet,

1192
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: so I think they're going to let a little time

1193
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: elapse and see where the country is. They you know,

1194
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: they obviously have medical people, they have infectious disease people

1195
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: that they are consulting with m at Duke University, so

1196
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: they're taking their direction from them. You know, obviously, the

1197
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: big question if could can you start training camp safely

1198
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: in a way that doesn't imperil the health of the players?

1199
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, do you have fans there? Who knows? You know,

1200
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: one p and said to me last week, like, you know,

1201
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: first week in September, are we going to be okay?

1202
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Are we going to be at a point in the

1203
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: country where you're going to be comfortable having eighty thousand

1204
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: people in a stadium for a football game? Who knows?

1205
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's just impossible to know right now.

1206
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: But again, you know, they've got the luxury of a

1207
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: little time here, So I think they're they're going to

1208
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: sit tight and wait before they make any decisions on

1209
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: that and you know, they can wait pretty long before

1210
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: they have to make a decision on when they would

1211
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: open training camps. Yeah, and Jerny, I don't mind them

1212
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: using that time either. I mean, I'm reading stuff this morning,

1213
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: the almost wild ideas of setting up all thirty two

1214
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: teams in one location and a couple of fields there

1215
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: and play without fans, And I mean nobody really knows,

1216
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: so yeah, you can come off with pie in the

1217
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: sky scenarios for how the NFL might work this year.

1218
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: But until you have to make a decision, it's sort

1219
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: of a waste of time to try to figure out

1220
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: what would be the best way to do it, right. Yeah,

1221
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: they don't have to make any fun all decisions for

1222
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: a long time on that. And you know, again, who

1223
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: knows where will be not just in the number of

1224
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: cases nationally, but like where will we be in terms

1225
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: of testing? Like will we be at a point where

1226
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: everybody can be tested? Um? You know where where will

1227
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: we be at? You know, by whenever they would have

1228
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: to make a decision June, You know, who knows? So

1229
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: I think they're going to take their time on that. Obviously,

1230
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: they will want to do everything they possibly can to

1231
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: start the season on time. There's no question they will.

1232
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: They will want to do that, but you know they're

1233
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: going they have a lot of factors to keep in

1234
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: mind and so forget you know, the other leagues are

1235
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: going to have to make decisions first, um, you know,

1236
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: when does Major League Baseball start the season? How do

1237
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: the NBA and NHL go back? You know, how do

1238
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: they do their postseason? So you know that will probably

1239
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: um give us a little indication of what's going to happen.

1240
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: But you know, the paramount question is can you know,

1241
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: can you do these things safely? And I don't think

1242
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: anybody has the answer to that. You know, here we

1243
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: are in late March. How things are going to look

1244
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: you know September. First, I got to ask you. I

1245
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: gotta ask you, Judy. One more thing you talk about

1246
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: with some of the decisions that have been made, particularly

1247
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: with the league shutting down all the different facilities, all

1248
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: thirty two facilities, has been because of a competitive advantage.

1249
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: You didn't want teams in the South or the Southwest

1250
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: to be able to keep their facilities open while other

1251
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: teams were forced to close there. So everything's closed down

1252
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: and he's talk about competitive advantage. One of the things

1253
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: that is unforeseen about this is the level of continuity

1254
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: inside some of the teams than others. Some team, it

1255
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 1: seems to me a team like Buffalo with the same

1256
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: head coach, same coordinators for three years in a row,

1257
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: are going to be at a competitive advantage given perhaps

1258
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: a compressed preseason, where other teams where that are getting

1259
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: new head coaches, new coordinators, new teams, new players, new everything.

1260
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: All those teams are going to be starting from scratching

1261
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: in a compressed preseason. It may be a huge advantage

1262
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: to teams who just by the luck of the draw

1263
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: or premeditatedly didn't have any of those changes. They're going

1264
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: to be in a huge advantage if indeed the preseason

1265
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: is compressed. Yeah, I could not agree with you more.

1266
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: I think if you have continuity this year, you're at

1267
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: a huge advantage. First of all, I mean I just

1268
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: took back to you when we had the lockout right

1269
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: nine years ago, when they came out of the lockout.

1270
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: First of all, the first month of that season I

1271
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: remember was just floppy, like the football was not good.

1272
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Not surprising. They hadn't had offseason work, they didn't have

1273
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: many camps. They did have training camp, but and I

1274
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: would expect the same thing. I would expect that whenever

1275
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: the season starts, the first month of it is probably

1276
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: not going to be crisp. I do think teams that

1277
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: have the same head coach, in the same quarterback and

1278
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: the same offensive system are in a much better shape.

1279
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Like you know, look at the NFC East that as

1280
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles are the only team in the division

1281
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,439
Speaker 1: that did not change coaches this year, that's a huge

1282
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: edge for them. And I think you know, Tom Brady

1283
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: did a conference call the other day and even he acknowledged,

1284
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't know when he's going to be

1285
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: able to work with his receivers, like he hopes there

1286
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: comes a point in the off season where maybe they'll

1287
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: be able to gather somewhere and throw it around a

1288
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: little bit, but who knows. That's a you know, that's

1289
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: a big problem if you're a quarterback in a new spot,

1290
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: or you know, you're a team that's putting in a

1291
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: new office, that's going to be an issue and it's

1292
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: going to place a real premium on how much teaching

1293
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: they can do. Virtually, they've you know, they've sort of

1294
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: talked within the league about if you don't have any

1295
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: off season program, and certainly this feeling among a lot

1296
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: of people is there's probably not going to be any

1297
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: offseason program if you don't do that. Can you have

1298
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: sort of virtual classroom time with the coach and you

1299
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: know the players spread out all over the place, all

1300
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: over the country. Can you do that so at least

1301
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: you have classroom time. You obviously can't get on the

1302
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: fields together. But the teams that have been you know,

1303
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: practicing together for a few years, they are only going

1304
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: to have a leg up whenever training can't help it.

1305
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: As you know, some people worry about Yeah, you can

1306
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: get classroom time, but you won't have workout time. And

1307
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: some players might not have access to the kind of

1308
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: equipment and workout regiment that they have on site or

1309
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: even at a local gym near their home. That could

1310
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: be an issue. Uh yeah, I mean, don't forget in

1311
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: many parts of the country, right like gyms, just gyms,

1312
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, twenty four hour fitness places are closed completely closed. Yea.

1313
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: So if you're a player that you know the team's

1314
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: facilities are closed. Players don't have access to anything unless

1315
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: they have their own gym equipment. I talk to Rudolph

1316
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: from the Vikings the other day. And now Kyle lives

1317
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: in the Twin Cities area all year round, so he

1318
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: usually just goes to the Vikings facility to work out

1319
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: every day. He goes there to get a run in

1320
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: and listed in all of that, and of course the

1321
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: trainers are there and strength and conditioning coaches are around there,

1322
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: and that's obviously closed now, so we can't do that.

1323
01:05:57,560 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: And he's sort of said, he's sort of reverted to

1324
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: like the way you work out when you're in middle school,

1325
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, like run around the neighborhood and lots of

1326
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: push ups and lots of sit ups, and he's ordering equipment,

1327
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: but he says, you know, like their strength and conditioning

1328
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: coaches are sort of sending out programs that guys can do.

1329
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: But he said, let place, if there's plenty of guys

1330
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: who don't have gym equipment at home, especially younger players,

1331
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: they probably don't have fully outfitted home gyms um yet.

1332
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's going to be catch as catch can.

1333
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: It's it's a problem, I mean, you know, I mean,

1334
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: players are professionals, and certainly the teams are going to

1335
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: try to help them, but you know, there's a there's

1336
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of burden on players to

1337
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: work out on their own and keep themselves in shape,

1338
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: because who knows when they will have access to teams

1339
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,439
Speaker 1: facilities again, and who knows you know when you would

1340
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: be able to get to your neighborhood, Gym, Judy, I

1341
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: got to ask you one if you can just give

1342
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: us your gut, you know what does your gut tell

1343
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 1: you about how different If you can give it a

1344
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: percentage difference from one hundred percent different from last year

1345
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: or just one sent different or not different at all,

1346
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: or whatever, how different is this football season the NFL

1347
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: gonna look compared to last year, which was a normal year.

1348
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Do you think it's going to be impossible to tell

1349
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: a difference or you know what? Just how you know?

1350
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: How much of an effect is this all gonna have

1351
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: coming towards the NFL when they start kicking it off,

1352
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: or hopefully kicking it off in September. My guts says

1353
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: they will they will start the season on time. I

1354
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: don't know if that will be with eighty thousand people

1355
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: in the stent. That's a big question, so that could

1356
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: look a little different again. I think the play will

1357
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: be probably a little sloppy if there's no off season

1358
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: program at all. So that's a pretty good percentage there,

1359
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: but I think the play will look sloppy in these

1360
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: early stages. And the other thing is, as we were

1361
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: just talking about guy staying in shape after the lockout,

1362
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 1: when everybody had a rush to training camp, but there

1363
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: was a rash of like Achilles' injuries because all of

1364
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: a sudden, guys had to go full speed after knock

1365
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: working out with their teams all season. You hope that

1366
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: doesn't happen again, but that could be an issue too.

1367
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: So I think it'll look a little bit different if

1368
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: there's no offseason. But these are professionals and day rounded

1369
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: to form incredibly quickly. So if they start the season

1370
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 1: on time, which I think they will, you know, I

1371
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: think by mid October, it'll look like the NFL. I

1372
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: have one more thing for you, Judy Um, and it's

1373
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady. You wrote about his conference call with

1374
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the media last week in Tampa, and you said there

1375
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:35,560
Speaker 1: was a reassuring sameness about that. You sounded disappointed that

1376
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: he's still the same old Tom Brady. Huh No, not disappointed.

1377
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: It was kind, you know, but he's he's close to

1378
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: the vest, and he was. I thought he was very

1379
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: realistic about what this off season is going to be

1380
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 1: like for him that you know, it's got some challenges.

1381
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: But you know, he did not go off. He certainly

1382
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: was given the opportunity if he'd wanted to say anything

1383
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 1: about how it ended in New England, and he did not.

1384
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:04,560
Speaker 1: He not criticized them at all, you know, so I

1385
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, I think Tom Brady is still Tom Brady.

1386
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: As people thought that maybe him going to Tampa Bay,

1387
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: we would get an entirely different guy. No, he is

1388
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,719
Speaker 1: focused on the work. He is supremely focused on getting adjusted.

1389
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: He wants. He talked about moving his family and getting

1390
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: his family settled in, and then he is really focused

1391
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: on making this work. And he seems to be genuinely

1392
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: excited about like a new opportunity. Certainly, my takeaway from

1393
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 1: hearing him is he I think is re energized by

1394
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: being someplace new. Judy, thank you so much, my pleasure

1395
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: you guys. Great to talk to you. I hope everything

1396
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: is good with you guys. Thanks Judy, things are going well,

1397
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: stay healthy. We appreciate it. Thanks Judye Batista NFL dot

1398
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: com NFL Network reporter joining US Live today to talk

1399
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: about the meetings that we're supposed to start today Owners meetings.

1400
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 1: Apparently Steves will have ofference calls today tomorrow and just

1401
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: kind of discuss The only thing it's anticipated that will

1402
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: be voted on or approved is the expansion of postseason,

1403
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: and I think it's big. I think it will be

1404
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: kind of buried because there's so many questions this year

1405
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 1: about does the season start on time, what does the

1406
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: draft look like, what does the offseason look like, can

1407
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: they have san fans in the stands, etc. But you're

1408
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna wind up, and you are, I mean, it's almost

1409
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: a fore gone conclusion. You're gonna end up with fourteen

1410
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: postseason teams this year. You're gonna wind up with the

1411
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: top team getting the buy in the first you know,

1412
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 1: the Wildcup round of the playoffs. It's gonna be a

1413
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 1: different kind of NFL postseason this year. There'll be a

1414
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: game added in each conference. But I think it has

1415
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: much more impact than just that. Steve, Yeah, I think

1416
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: so too. I It's gonna look different, feel different coming

1417
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: down the stretch. There'll be more teams and we've all remember,

1418
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: we all remember what It's like you get into those

1419
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:58,680
Speaker 1: last month of the season games and the television I

1420
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: was part of it, the television and crew, the analysts

1421
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: in the booth and the and the play by play

1422
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: guy go over it in minutia to find out who's

1423
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 1: still in the hunt. What has to happen for this

1424
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: team to get in, What happened to happen, what has

1425
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 1: to happen for this team to be put out? Who

1426
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:18,759
Speaker 1: has it already sewed up? You know what fan bases

1427
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: can look forward to their team not having to play

1428
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: in week seventeen or in this you know or whatever

1429
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. I guess it would be now coming up. Um,

1430
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 1: maybe not this year, but you know, in the last

1431
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:32,879
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, who doesn't have to play their starters,

1432
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 1: who hasn't lined up? Who? The list is going to

1433
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: be really really expanded as to which teams are still

1434
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 1: in it, and it's going to be later in the year.

1435
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: The teams that are, and I think the teams that

1436
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: are buying for a number one seed in the conference

1437
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: have a lot more to play for. Right It's one

1438
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 1: thing if you're one of two teams that gets that

1439
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: wild card weekend off, if you're the only one you would.

1440
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: I'll say it, you'll have a leg up. I'm going

1441
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl right if you'll in that everybody else.

1442
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: But I also so think this too, murf. Now you're

1443
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: gonna have two top teams trying to get that number

1444
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: one seat and unless one team, which I don't know

1445
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: how often it happens, you have to do some you know,

1446
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 1: I have to go back and do a study on it.

1447
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 1: How often does it happen that one team is so

1448
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: much better than everybody else? They've got this home field

1449
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: wrapped up completely. They may have an identical record to

1450
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 1: another team, and both of them are getting the bye

1451
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: week these days, so neither one of them cares. But

1452
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 1: now not so much. You want a week off, you

1453
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: gotta play week eighteen to get it. And I think

1454
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: that does add something to it. It's gonna be interesting

1455
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: and that is expected to come this week, you know

1456
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: else think about it. So you got like say, for instance,

1457
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: this last year, Baltimore and what Kansas City were the

1458
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: top two seats. Now New England as New England, Baltimore, right, No,

1459
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City? Right? They got the by Yeah, Kansas City

1460
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: was two. New England was three because New England lost.

1461
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: That's right, Okay, So think about it. You got Kansas

1462
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:58,560
Speaker 1: City in Baltimore. Those two teams are dog fighting it

1463
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: out to get that that buy week. But New England

1464
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 1: they can't improve their schedule, you know, they can't improve.

1465
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 1: They can't catch either one of those teams for whatever reason.

1466
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 1: So New England the number three seed maybe the team

1467
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 1: that costs in week seven or week seventeen, and the

1468
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: first one and two seeds are the ones that are,

1469
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, trying to throttle it to the net, you

1470
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It might it might be a

1471
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: funky ironic way to keep the top teams playing hard.

1472
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: So one of them really does need a buy week, right,

1473
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: and it might sabotage the number two seeds. Yeah, you're right.

1474
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting. That's is expected to happen this week.

1475
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 1: We'll find out as the days move along, as the

1476

01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,640
Speaker 1: have with people walking through in our houses. That he

1501
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,560
Speaker 1: saw that. He thinks people have a new appreciation for

1502
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: our show because it's so it's stripped down to the

1503

Speaker 1: bare bones here, don't you think it is? Yeah, a

1504

01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: we get to a preseason, what position battle would intrigue

1513
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 1: you the most. Let's look at the Twitter poll right now,

1514
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: as you look at the bills roster, the position battle

1515
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: that intrigues you the most. We've had six hundred twenty

1516
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 1: botes in so far. Thirty five percenting you say it's cornerback,

1517
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace, Josh Norman, maybe some of the others E. J. Gaines.

1518
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 1: Obviously when you're talking about we're not talking about Tredavius White,

1519
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 1: and thirty five percent you say defensive line, which is interesting.

1520
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: Mario Addison, Quentin Jefferson Vernon Butler added to a group

1521
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: that loses Shack Lawson and Jordan Phillips, but other than that,

1522
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 1: it's pretty much the same characters. Twenty four percent say

1523
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: offensive line with the return of Quentin Spain and Tyansecky

1524
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 1: this Cody Ford move inside. What do you think? Give

1525
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: us a call? Eight O three five fifty toll free

1526
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. That's

1527
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 1: a close Twitter post, Steve twenty four. It's pretty good.

1528
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's it's maybe maybe top twenty all times,

1529
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: you know I always do. That's the fun of it.

1530
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet, brought to you by

1531
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 1: Carrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

1532
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: Tiffany says, with all the new faces, I am interested

1533
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: to see who emerges out of the D line group.

1534
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 1: Most excited for Ed Olibury had a solid second half.

1535
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be already defensive line superstar. And

1536
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 1: they're not too different future. Yeah, that's not I mean

1537
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 1: an Oliver is gonna play and play a lot, so

1538
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: that's not a position group battle per se. But I

1539
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: think that progress in the development of at Oliver is

1540
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 1: going to be a good story in twenty twenty. Steve

1541
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: and I like the guys that picked up as well.

1542
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 1: We lost Shack Lawson and Jordan Phillips, but the guys

1543
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: we picked up have every bit. We have every reason

1544
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: to believe. You know that we replaced the guys we

1545
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: lost with better statistical guys, at least on the pass rush.

1546
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: You bringing guys that got nine one of them at

1547
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: nine exactly the same number of sacks that Jordan Phillips did,

1548
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: and he had Jordan Phillips had a career year with

1549
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: nine and a half, and I believe it was Addison.

1550
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Addison had nine and a half and has had at

1551
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: least nine and a half sacks for the last four

1552
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: years every year. That's big to me. That's something you

1553
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 1: can depend on. That's different, and I think that gives

1554
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: the Bills every reason to believe their defensive line along

1555
01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: with Addison and bought Aler and you know, all these

1556
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna be better. And that's that's big. That's really big,

1557
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: I think. So two eight h three H five fifty

1558
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: the number to call. Let's go to Andrew in Batavia. Hello, Andrew,

1559
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us go ahead. Hey, Johnny, Steve,

1560
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: I voted other in your Twitter poll, and um, I

1561
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 1: think the position battle I'm most looking forward to as

1562
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I mean, you got your first three sets,

1563
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 1: but then you got due Robert Foster, Isaiah m Ken,

1564
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 1: DeAndre Roberts, and possibly another one if they picked if

1565
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: they draft another one, which a lot of people are

1566
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 1: still saying they want another one in the second round.

1567
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 1: I just want to get your thoughts on that. Yeah,

1568
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: that's it'll be interesting to see how they do it.

1569
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it sounds and I get it, and

1570
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, but it sounds like it's an intriguing

1571
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:48,560
Speaker 1: battle because we don't know who it's going to be.

1572
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 1: But whoever it's gonna be, it's not going to see

1573
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 1: the field very much, and it'll be probably be a

1574
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 1: special team's contributor more than anything else. So as much

1575
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: as as little as we know about who that fifth

1576
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: wid or fourth or fifth wide receiver is gonna be,

1577
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: you you may find out who he is and that

1578
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: will be the last time you see him all the year,

1579
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: because that's it's gonna be tough to get on the

1580
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,720
Speaker 1: field in this perm and Steve it's kind of for

1581
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: that reason that I picked cornerback, because I believe that's

1582
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: the only position battle where a starter is at stake.

1583
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: Right there's no starter starting position at stake among wide

1584
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,240
Speaker 1: receivers or I guess offensive line there is. Okay, I'm

1585
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 1: corrected there, But defensive line, I think they're gonna rotate

1586
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: through so much and it doesn't really matter who the

1587
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: starter is. I mean cornerback, you really have a question

1588
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: to who's going to be your starter on the other side,

1589
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 1: opposite to Davus White. That's why I picked that as

1590
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:41,719
Speaker 1: most intrigued. What do you think? I agree completely because

1591
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: you know you're bringing back the same starting offensive line

1592
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: that played the bulk of the season last year with

1593
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: ty and Stecky's still there, Cody Ford is still there,

1594
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,800
Speaker 1: John Feliciano is still there. All those guys were there

1595
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: even when you factor in that tie and Secki was

1596
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: a guy who rotated in and out when he was

1597
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: healthy enough to play. But even if they did get better,

1598
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some there. You still got the same

1599
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: five there. Corner you're right wide receiver. You know Steph

1600
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 1: Diggs is gonna start, period. That's the end of the story.

1601
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,799
Speaker 1: But man, you get to the defensive line. Yeah, okay,

1602
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: so maybe star Low to Lele may start, but he's

1603
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 1: only gonna play half the defensive snaps. The guy behind him,

1604
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: whether it's Vernon Butler or whoever, or or Harrison Phillips,

1605
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:32,679
Speaker 1: Quinton or Quinton Jefferson, you know, any of those guys,

1606
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 1: they're gonna be rotating through. So starters are not. They're

1607
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: still gonna play the exact same ass a starter, but corner.

1608
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: You find the guy that plays corner. He's on the

1609
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:44,640
Speaker 1: field all the time. He may never come off the

1610
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: field if he stays healthy enough to play. You're right, Murph,

1611
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: I think that's the battle that will have the biggest

1612
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: impact and be that one spot where they're gonna get

1613
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: a ton of snaps this year, and and you hope

1614
01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: it's the right guy. So you call here from James

1615
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:03,759
Speaker 1: in Wheatfield. Hello, Jamie around the air with this, Hi, guys,

1616
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: I have a question and then a personal comment. Um,

1617
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 1: So I'll start with the question first. It's about what

1618
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: do you see as far as Trent Murphy goes on

1619
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: this roster come opening day? Is he expendable? Can they

1620
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 1: save some money? What are your thoughts on Trent Trump

1621
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: making the roster. They'll say, they'll say quite a bit

1622
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: of money if they if they release Trent Murphy after

1623
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: the or in training camp, they'll save a ton of

1624
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 1: cap money, no question about it, Maybe as much as

1625
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 1: eight million bucks. But he given the offense defensive lineman

1626
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 1: they have left from last year's squad, not including Quentin Jefferson,

1627
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:49,599
Speaker 1: Vernon Butler, Mario Addison, the three new guys, Trent Murphy

1628
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: graded out as high as anybody. Now, certainly we all

1629
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 1: had high aspirations for him when he came to Buffalo.

1630
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: He thought maybe he'd be a guy who could get

1631
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 1: double djit sacks all that and has not worked out

1632
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: that way. But he is not a guy who they

1633
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 1: cannot depend on. He's uh, He's shows up every week,

1634
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: he's on the field, he knows the defense, He's got

1635
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:15,680
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on. He is not spectacular,

1636
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 1: but steady. I don't know. And for making the money

1637
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 1: he's making, I don't know anybody else who's going to

1638
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: give them value for even if it's less money. Um

1639
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 1: by that time, they don't. But they may not need

1640
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: the cap space, you know what I'm saying. So they're

1641
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna They're gonna keep Trent Murphy if he's their best option.

1642
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: And I do, and I know this money is not

1643
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: going to be the issue. It will if. If it is,

1644
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: they'll ask him to rework his deal. You know, um

1645
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy. For whatever reason, there's a big target on

1646
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 1: his back among the fans. I think this offseason, and

1647
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: it's been talking about a lot. And he had more

1648
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: snaps than any defensive lineman last year, more than anybody,

1649
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: more than Jerry Hughes, more than at Oliver, and more

1650
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 1: than Starlo Tula. He played more deep fensive snaps and anybody.

1651
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 1: He has a role to play on this team. Yes,

1652
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 1: you know he's a victim. I guess if you can

1653
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 1: call it a victim. He is a victim of free

1654
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: agency where the Bills had to pay a lot to

1655
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: gain him. They needed him when they got him. He

1656
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: was hurt his first year a couple of years ago

1657
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,439
Speaker 1: and coming off a pretty serious injury. Now he's healthy again,

1658
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: and I think the way he finished last year too,

1659
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: he showed a lot of a lot of promise. I

1660
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 1: would not be in a hurry. I wouldn't be in

1661
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: a hurry at all to dismissed Trent Murphy. I guess

1662
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people are, but I'm not, Jamie. Yeah,

1663
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 1: it's something else you wanted to bring up. Yeah, I

1664
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: just wanted to take take a minute or two to just, um,

1665
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, bring something up and show some gratitude. When

1666
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 1: I was a much younger person. I'm forty five this year,

1667
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: but and I don't remember the exact year, but I

1668
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 1: know that it was in the early nineties. We had

1669
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: five kids in the family, single mother. It was you know,

1670
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 1: it was tough. And I remember one Christmas Eve, my

1671
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,639
Speaker 1: mother called us all in the house. We were outside,

1672
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 1: we played football or something, and she said, we have

1673
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 1: a visitor coming over. And um it was. It was

1674
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker who came to my little apartment in Sweet Home.

1675
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: Um went a gentleman by the name of David Poole,

1676
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: a cornerback in the early nineties on the Bills, and

1677
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: Steve and Dave came over with a couple large bags

1678
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 1: of winter coats for me and my three brothers and

1679
01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:33,759
Speaker 1: my sister, and he just sat down on my couch.

1680
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 1: I'll never forget the size of his quas or this

1681
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,879
Speaker 1: giant and it was just the thrill of a lifetime

1682
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: to think that, you know, this man would take time

1683
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: out of his life and make Christmas special for for

1684
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: a family that didn't have much under the tree. Um

1685
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 1: and and Steve, you know, I just want to thank

1686
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: you from the bottom of my heart. I was the

1687
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: coolest kid on the entire block because one of my

1688
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 1: friends was lucky enough to be in there so you

1689
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: could vet my story. But and we still talk about

1690
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 1: it to this day. I mean we're in our mid

1691
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 1: forties now, but we even had a chance to play

1692
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: Techmobile against you. Thank you, Steve, and today Pool and

1693
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 1: I know that that time was special for you too,

1694
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: because you had just found out that you made your

1695
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 1: first Pro Bowl and you had the biggest smile on

1696
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 1: your face when you were telling us about it. Um.

1697
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 1: So thanks for that. Steve. Wow, that's that's a nice story.

1698
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: If it was my first Pro Bowl, it was probably

1699
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: it was nineteen to eighty eight, so it was a

1700
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 1: long long time ago, my friend. I'm glad you remembered.

1701
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad you remembered with fondness, and I'm I'm glad

1702
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: it meant so much to you. And I hope, I

1703
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: hope you passed it on in some way, shape or form.

1704
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling Jamie. That's that's nice. I appreciate it.

1705
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: Thanks Jamie. Who are you doing, Steve? Did you do

1706
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 1: like trips like that and your career? On Christmas Eve?

1707
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 1: I think he said, right, yeah, sometime around there. We

1708
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 1: did it for quite a while, and it wasn't just

1709
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: me and David Pool. There was a number of guys

1710
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: who did it. Um And certainly, you know, you you

1711
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 1: never know what you go you're gonna find, or you know,

1712
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: you never know where you're gonna go until a day

1713
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 1: or two before and somebody kind of divvyes up families

1714
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: and you grab a bunch of stuff and head out there,

1715
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: and it's, uh, yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad. Uh it

1716
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 1: meant something to that kid. Twenty five thirty years later,

1717
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: you're still talking about pretty cool. We're gonna break here

1718
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 1: what you did. It's oh wait, it's yes, twenty twenty

1719
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: years later, Yeah, oh wait, it's oh wait, yeah, it's

1720
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: twenty one years. That's a long time. Yep, I'm gonna

1721
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: break here. We're coming back. One Bill's line, presented by

1722
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 1: Alida Health. We're coming to you from our homes today

1723
01:26:47,439 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: and This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome Back One Knows Live,

1724
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker coming up at two o'clock. Andy,

1725
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 1: but good friend of the show. He's been on with

1726
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: us before. He'll be with us today a couple of

1727
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 1: minutes to talk about more about the NFL where it's

1728
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,839
Speaker 1: at it and about the Bill's window for championship contention.

1729
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:16,959
Speaker 1: Before we get to that. One other thing from Judy Batissa,

1730
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:20,639
Speaker 1: who was with us early this hour, Steve, she mentioned, how, look,

1731
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 1: the Competition Committee is talking about replay review for past

1732
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:30,839
Speaker 1: interference again that will expire, not expected to be renewed

1733
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: for another year. And she said, you know, competition committee

1734
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: is looking at other things to maybe give Alberto a

1735
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 1: river around, a little help, et cetera. And the thought

1736
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:43,600
Speaker 1: occurred to me, it really doesn't matter anymore what the

1737
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:47,799
Speaker 1: Competition communitee does, because last year the coaches hijacked the process.

1738
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 1: Really Sean Payton and rounded up in a bunch of

1739
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 1: coaches and said, regardless of what the Competition Committee says,

1740
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: we want to use instant replay on past interference calls.

1741
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 1: And they got it. And I think now I hear

1742
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 1: Judy talking about what the competition Committy's talking about. I'm

1743
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 1: thinking the competition committee is almost irrelevant now because the

1744
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 1: coaches can just do what they want. No, I did not,

1745
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: I'll see it that way. I think you're right, there's

1746
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: no question they hijacked it. Then. I don't think everybody's

1747
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna let him do that again. I think they blew it,

1748
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think they totally blew it going for

1749
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 1: this thing that didn't make any sense to begin with.

1750
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 1: That when it was implemented, they put it in in

1751
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 1: such a way and was so ill conceived and poorly

1752
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 1: administrated and put in under such constraints, is that it

1753
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 1: was worthless and it became a you know, it was

1754
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was terrible. So I think

1755
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 1: in doing so, I think that kind of sabotaged these

1756
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:49,640
Speaker 1: coaches ability to do that again. So quickly, they're not

1757
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: going to be able to step in this year again,

1758
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: right after after completely botching it last year. Nobody's gonna

1759
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:00,760
Speaker 1: listen to those guys. Now they're gonna say and forget it,

1760
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 1: you know. I think now maybe down the road they'll

1761
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 1: be able to do that again under something that makes

1762
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 1: a little more sense, But they learned. I think they

1763
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: everybody learned a big lesson about how they hijacked it

1764
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 1: last year, pushed this through and how to become the

1765
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 1: catastrophe that it was. It wasn't well thought out when

1766
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 1: they pushed it through, you know, I mean, it was

1767
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: stupid the way they just went into it, kind of

1768
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 1: willie nilly, and they had to make things up as

1769
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 1: they go along. I hope. I'd like to think you're right.

1770
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that the coaches who are you know,

1771
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 1: let's face it, they're no at else. I'm not convinced

1772
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 1: that they learned a lesson. In fact, some of them

1773
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 1: probably think, oh, they can make that work. I hope

1774
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 1: they don't try to make it work, but someone probably

1775
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: think they can. Yeah. I mean now there's probably they'll

1776
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 1: get some pushback saying, hey, we need to just don't

1777
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,679
Speaker 1: get rid of it. Let's just tweak it. Nobody will

1778
01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: want to hear it. It's gonna go away. The owners

1779
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,479
Speaker 1: will probably just you know, as much leeway as they

1780
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 1: gave him last year. The owners will probably just you know,

1781
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 1: squash it pretty quick. I don't think they want to

1782
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:55,720
Speaker 1: do that again. And I think they thought it was

1783
01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 1: bad for the league and I agree with them. This

1784
01:29:58,280 --> 01:29:59,680
Speaker 1: is one thing that needs to go away and go

1785
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 1: away in a hurry. And as a repercussion, the coaches

1786
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 1: are going to be put on mute for a while

1787
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 1: because of it. What do you think of And I've

1788
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 1: read this, Junie mentioned, I've read this other places. They're

1789
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:16,559
Speaker 1: considering giving Alberta river On some help to decide replay reviews,

1790
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:20,120
Speaker 1: not just past interference but all replay reviews, having maybe

1791
01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:22,599
Speaker 1: a panel of people or a couple of people make

1792
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 1: those calls. What do you think of that? Yeah, there's

1793
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:33,519
Speaker 1: about time. Yeah, I mean it was, it was, Yeah, exactly.

1794
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 1: They need to get some consistency there. And I think

1795
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Three years ago or four years ago,

1796
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:42,639
Speaker 1: when Dean Blandino did it, it was they wanted one

1797
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 1: set of eyes on every call in the league, and

1798
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:50,440
Speaker 1: by doing so, the same set of eyes would be consistent,

1799
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 1: the same it would admire minister at the same Well,

1800
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:55,560
Speaker 1: they didn't realize that the set eyes they had on

1801
01:30:55,680 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 1: and Dean Blandina were great and consistent and dispassionate are

1802
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: they were? But when al Rivern got the job, it

1803
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 1: became arbitrary, inconsistent and poorly administrated. So Yeah, they've got

1804
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:15,760
Speaker 1: to do something different, something when they changed it and

1805
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 1: when they got you know, the guys that were doing

1806
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:22,640
Speaker 1: it and doing it well were hijacked by the networks

1807
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 1: and the SEC and the and the and the NCAA.

1808
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,519
Speaker 1: Well they went downhill, and you know, they just they

1809
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:31,640
Speaker 1: need to get back to doing it right. And if

1810
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 1: it takes three guys to get in the room and say, okay,

1811
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:36,519
Speaker 1: let's do this, then yeah, I agree with it. But

1812
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 1: there's no question they got to change the way it

1813
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 1: was done with just one guy doing it. Probably not

1814
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 1: going to change this week, but sometimes you know, they

1815
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:45,439
Speaker 1: have another meeting in May, and at that point U

1816
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:49,320
Speaker 1: League owners may change the replay process in general, including

1817
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 1: replay review on pass interference calls. All right, at the

1818
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:54,640
Speaker 1: end of our number two, our number three coming up

1819
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:57,960
Speaker 1: with Andy Benoi NFL and draft analysts and reported he'll

1820
01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 1: be joining us when we come back after the top

1821
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 1: of the our break. Come on back, One Doll's Live

1822
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:04,280
Speaker 1: presented by KLADA Health and we're coming to him from

1823
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 1: home again Radio only. This is Buffalo Bill's Football. The

1824
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:17,559
Speaker 1: update from One Bill's Live NFL News Today. Cornerback Ronald Derby,

1825
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:20,280
Speaker 1: former Bill's draft pick has a new football team. He's

1826
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:23,639
Speaker 1: now a Washington Redskin. That's his hometown. Darby is gonna

1827
01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:25,839
Speaker 1: play for the Redskins. He grew up in nearby Maryland.

1828
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:28,719
Speaker 1: Darby spent the last few years with the Philadelphia Eagles.

1829
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 1: After being traded to Philadelphia, he is moving, but saying

1830
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:34,639
Speaker 1: in the same division. A one year deal with Washington

1831
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 1: worth three million dollars. Darby's contract as a maximum value

1832
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 1: of four million. Darby played and started eleven games in

1833
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:44,519
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, thirty seven tackles and two interceptions for the

1834
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles last year. The Detroit Lions have agreed to

1835
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:51,599
Speaker 1: a contract with wide receiver Geronimo Allison. Allison spent last

1836
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 1: year with Green Bay and brought him back on a

1837
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:56,960
Speaker 1: one year deal. Alison never thought and never took the jump.

1838
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:59,599
Speaker 1: They thought he might. They thought he might be able

1839
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 1: to move in to the number two wide receivers spot

1840
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,479
Speaker 1: vacated by Randall Cobb. He did not do that. Tyrod

1841
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:08,400
Speaker 1: Taylor says we have a lot of talent on his team,

1842
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. He says, if I'm the guy

1843
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 1: calling the shops, I know for sure we're going to

1844
01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:14,559
Speaker 1: turn a lot of heads. Chargers planned to use Taylor

1845
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:17,360
Speaker 1: as their veteran option at quarterback, maybe getting ready to

1846
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 1: draft a rookie in the draft. On April twenty three,

1847
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:23,559
Speaker 1: Tom Brady had a sales pitch for the Tampa Bay

1848
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:26,799
Speaker 1: Buccaneers head coach Brusirians and the general manager there. Brady

1849
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:29,080
Speaker 1: did most of the talking, has said on the first

1850
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: day of free agency March eighteenth, when he was available

1851
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:34,560
Speaker 1: and able to talk. We had a great conversation, the

1852
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 1: Bucks say. Despite the fact that the Bucks have not

1853
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,519
Speaker 1: been to the postseason since two thousand and seven, Brady

1854
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:41,960
Speaker 1: made since they thought for a number of reasons, the

1855
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 1: ability to collaborate with a fun coach like Aaron, the weapons,

1856
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,920
Speaker 1: and being on the East Coast with his family in

1857
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,960
Speaker 1: proximity in New York City. And that is the update

1858
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: from one Bill's Line. John Murphy and Steve Tasker coming

1859
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:57,439
Speaker 1: to you from our home today radio coverage only today,

1860
01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:59,640
Speaker 1: as we work our way through the current crisis in

1861
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:02,519
Speaker 1: a mar Joining us on the line right now, NFL

1862
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:05,679
Speaker 1: and draft analysts and reporter. Happy to have our buddy,

1863
01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Andy Minoit. I'm a line from uh You're still em

1864
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:14,799
Speaker 1: boys in Idaho? Andy, I am are things emboyant about

1865
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 1: like they are everywhere else. Very quiet, everybody's in their homes,

1866
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 1: and uh, I kind of like it. When I grew

1867
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:22,760
Speaker 1: up here was a much smaller town. All all the

1868
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:26,639
Speaker 1: people from California and Washington hadn't brought their big city

1869
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:30,640
Speaker 1: money and increased our population yet. So it's kind of

1870
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of been a little bit of a throwback

1871
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:33,880
Speaker 1: when you go walk around, if you're able to walk

1872
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 1: around at times here, I got to ask you, I

1873
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:40,760
Speaker 1: want to bring up this question as well. Um, you

1874
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 1: had something to say about the Bills and maybe they're

1875
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:47,360
Speaker 1: they're free agent signings, and do you think that is possible?

1876
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: And if the Bills finished, you know, as high as

1877
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:51,519
Speaker 1: they did in the defensive rankings last year with the

1878
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:54,519
Speaker 1: free agent signs they got, could they get better? Yeah?

1879
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 1: I think they absolutely can't get better. And I think

1880
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: having as many guys back in the system as they

1881
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:01,800
Speaker 1: had a year that's also going to contribute to them

1882
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:03,760
Speaker 1: getting better. I thought they looked like the best coach

1883
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL last year. They played fast, they

1884
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 1: were subtly complex, especially before the snap, and then there

1885
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:15,639
Speaker 1: was a simplicity and efficiency to everything. They did after

1886
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:18,920
Speaker 1: the snap. So it's already a great defense to begin with,

1887
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 1: and some of these guys are plugging in. You know,

1888
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 1: it's possible they get better. And I do think one

1889
01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 1: concern is I thought Jordan Phillips was their best defensive

1890
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 1: lineman last year, especially from a playmaking standpoint, and he's

1891
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 1: gone and replacing him. I know Burnham, Butler's a talented guy.

1892
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 1: Quintin Jefferson's a pretty good player. I don't think either

1893
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:42,000
Speaker 1: of those guys would be considered an upgrade over Phillips,

1894
01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: so that that's one concern. But top to bottom, this

1895
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 1: is still a pretty rock solid defense. What do you

1896
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 1: think the AFC you talk about the AFC East had

1897
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:53,800
Speaker 1: an article about each team in the AFC East and

1898
01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 1: their draft needs, and now the free agency is about

1899
01:35:56,200 --> 01:35:58,960
Speaker 1: a week done. What do you think about the Buffalo

1900
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 1: Bill's draft needs? Get the six sense of your maybe

1901
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:08,160
Speaker 1: where you see them headed in their in their draft? Well,

1902
01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean, keep in mind, it's always going to be

1903
01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:13,600
Speaker 1: a function of who's available to be picked. How do

1904
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:16,560
Speaker 1: you feel about the prospects? Where are you picking? But

1905
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 1: if we're just saying blanket needs and taking the players

1906
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 1: out of the equation for a minute. The rookie players

1907
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:25,799
Speaker 1: out defensive ends a need at some point, and probably

1908
01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:29,120
Speaker 1: now they could use one more pass rusher off the edge.

1909
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:31,759
Speaker 1: I know Mario Addison the nice player, and Jerry Hughes

1910
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 1: is still going at a high enough level. Both those

1911
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 1: guys are pretty well into their thirties. And you can

1912
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:41,719
Speaker 1: never have too many pass rushers, especially in the defense

1913
01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:44,599
Speaker 1: that likes to play eight guys up front and play

1914
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:47,759
Speaker 1: fast and rotate bodies. So if there's an edge rusher

1915
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 1: that they like, someone they can groom long term, that

1916
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 1: would be helpful. I wouldn't look past defensive tackle. I

1917
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 1: don't think that will be a need in their minds.

1918
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:59,559
Speaker 1: They have Harrison Phillips route years ago at Oliver Obviously,

1919
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 1: Star Lolele is still there for a few more years.

1920
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:05,439
Speaker 1: I didn't think Loulele played up to the level that

1921
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: he has in years passed, and I don't know if

1922
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:10,360
Speaker 1: they if the Bills feel the same way about that,

1923
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:12,960
Speaker 1: but if they do, then they need to examine. Okay,

1924
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,679
Speaker 1: why is that is he getting up there in age?

1925
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 1: Is that a guy we want to replace one day?

1926
01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you draft this guy is replacement. Early

1927
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:22,680
Speaker 1: but maybe a mid round pick with the idea that

1928
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 1: we might need to groom someone in mind. Those would

1929
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 1: be the needs that jump out. Interestingly, though, guys, the

1930
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 1: offense is not to the level that the defense is

1931
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 1: at yet, but when you look at needs on offense,

1932
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of needs. Still. I guess

1933
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 1: they can always get better. But the Stefan Diggs trade

1934
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:42,240
Speaker 1: that really did a lot to just not just fill

1935
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 1: one of their holes, but the domino effect from that,

1936
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 1: it's going to be a much better offense because of him.

1937
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm a line with Andy Benok NFL draft analysts and reporter. Andy,

1938
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 1: you were on a podcast about a week or so

1939
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:57,280
Speaker 1: and you talked about an issue that Steve and I

1940
01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,880
Speaker 1: have talked about a lot recently, and that's the champ

1941
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 1: window for the Buffalo Bills. You in fact maintained they

1942
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 1: are in a window right now where they should be

1943
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 1: looking to win a championship. Correct. Well, yeah, I think

1944
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 1: I think they certainly should see it that way. They

1945
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 1: were a playoff team a year ago and that the

1946
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 1: big bad boys of their division have been. They've just

1947
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,400
Speaker 1: lost their all time great quarterback, so this is by

1948
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:22,640
Speaker 1: far the best chance the Bills have had at that,

1949
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:26,559
Speaker 1: probably in the last fifteen or twenty years. What does

1950
01:38:26,640 --> 01:38:28,680
Speaker 1: it need to be in a championship window? What the

1951
01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:31,559
Speaker 1: how should a team that's in its championship window? How

1952
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 1: should they act? How should they draft? How should they

1953
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:37,479
Speaker 1: add free agents? How should they approach it? Well, I

1954
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:41,280
Speaker 1: think especially when you have a QB on his rookie contract,

1955
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:44,640
Speaker 1: because we've heard about how advantageous that becomes. As the

1956
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:48,599
Speaker 1: value of veteran quarterbacks goes up, those rookie wage scales

1957
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 1: that stays pretty static, so you get a really cheap

1958
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:55,360
Speaker 1: quarterback essentially, and so you want to use that money

1959
01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 1: to go out and get other positions. I think we've

1960
01:38:57,240 --> 01:38:59,640
Speaker 1: seen Buffalo do that. This is a year with a

1961
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 1: really deep wide receiver class in the draft, and yet

1962
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 1: they still the Bills still traded away a first round

1963
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: pick to get Stefan Diggs. And the reason they do

1964
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 1: that is because we know what we're getting with Diggs,

1965
01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:13,120
Speaker 1: and we might feel good about our scouting and we

1966
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:15,880
Speaker 1: might like a lot of these rookie receivers, but we're

1967
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:18,600
Speaker 1: humble enough to also know that about fifty percent of

1968
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:21,840
Speaker 1: the really good players in the draft still don't pan out.

1969
01:39:21,880 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 1: In the NFL, it's a crapshoot. You're not sure what

1970
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: you're going to get every time. We know what we're

1971
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:28,719
Speaker 1: getting with Diggs because he's been doing in the league

1972
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 1: for a while, So let's give up a first round

1973
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 1: pick and go do that. They might not do that

1974
01:39:33,640 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: in other years. I don't know, but that to me

1975
01:39:36,120 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 1: is they win now kind of move, and I think

1976
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:40,240
Speaker 1: that's exactly the kind of move they need to be making.

1977
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 1: So you could argue that Mario Addison's another one, a

1978
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:45,760
Speaker 1: starting defensive end. He's in his thirties. You don't go

1979
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:48,320
Speaker 1: out to sign those guys very often in free agency.

1980
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:51,360
Speaker 1: But he still has enough gas left for at least

1981
01:39:51,439 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 1: one maybe two more years, and Buffalo is trying to

1982
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:57,120
Speaker 1: win for these next one or two more years. You

1983
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,960
Speaker 1: mentioned Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots. What about

1984
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the division? The Jets, the Dolphins, and

1985
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:07,560
Speaker 1: of course New England. Certainly that landscape has changed and

1986
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:09,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins it looks like through the first week and

1987
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:13,400
Speaker 1: free agency has changed for the better. Yeah, the Dolphins

1988
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:15,320
Speaker 1: have done a lot in free agency, and I like

1989
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:18,439
Speaker 1: the moves they've made. It is the signings that they have,

1990
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: especially Byron Jones at corner. It makes sense for how

1991
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:23,640
Speaker 1: they want to play, and they want to play man

1992
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:27,759
Speaker 1: demand coverage. They want smart, big bodied guys up front

1993
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 1: who can make you have to really gain your yards

1994
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 1: in the run game, and then they're going to have

1995
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:36,240
Speaker 1: a highly skimed pass rush in their pass rush in

1996
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:38,600
Speaker 1: front of that man coverage. So that's kind of the

1997
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 1: equation defensively, and then offensively, they're still finding themselves there.

1998
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:46,080
Speaker 1: They need some quicker space creating type of guys on

1999
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:48,679
Speaker 1: the roster. They really don't have that yet. I imagine

2000
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 1: they'll go get that in the draft, but you can't

2001
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:53,519
Speaker 1: get everything all at once. And what we've seen from

2002
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:57,080
Speaker 1: Miami so far, they are I think they've made tremendous

2003
01:40:57,160 --> 01:41:00,519
Speaker 1: progress down this massive rebuilding effort that they've been vested in.

2004
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 1: I thought that started last year too. I thought they

2005
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:05,920
Speaker 1: looked really good for what they were playing with. They

2006
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: looked really good at times in the second half of

2007
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:12,719
Speaker 1: the season. So Miami's trending up. They're not playoff caliber

2008
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:16,040
Speaker 1: quite yet. The Jets are not playoff caliber quite yet either.

2009
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 1: They have some holes to address and maybe they can

2010
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 1: get that done there. You know, those guys win six

2011
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:23,360
Speaker 1: and two in the second half of last season and

2012
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:26,760
Speaker 1: nobody noticed because they'd written off the Jets already. But

2013
01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:30,280
Speaker 1: they're they're in the right direction. They have some hole

2014
01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 1: through Robbie Anderson, a wide receiver is the big one

2015
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:35,639
Speaker 1: that they need to replace. And then New England's obviously

2016
01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: the big toss up and I can't wait to see

2017
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:41,760
Speaker 1: how that plays out. How well the Patriots performed without

2018
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:45,719
Speaker 1: Tom Brady but with Bill Belichick's still there. And another

2019
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 1: question about the Bills in their perceived window of the

2020
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 1: championship opportunity here, should a team that's got that window open,

2021
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: should they be desperate? I mean, should they think we

2022
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 1: got to win now, like this year or next? Or

2023
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:02,200
Speaker 1: can you be a little more reserved than that? Do

2024
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:06,240
Speaker 1: you think? Well, I think you can be more given

2025
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,800
Speaker 1: who their quarterback is and where they're at there, they

2026
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 1: can be more reserved. Now you take the win now

2027
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:13,840
Speaker 1: attitude because you're not gonna gave Josh Allen on a

2028
01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:17,920
Speaker 1: cheap contract for much longer. But at this point they

2029
01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:20,800
Speaker 1: probably feel Josh Allen is our franchise QB for the

2030
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:24,679
Speaker 1: next ten years, and so we know that the window's

2031
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 1: not going to go shut as soon as we have

2032
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 1: to pay Josh Allen. We're still going to be competitive

2033
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:32,800
Speaker 1: and we're still going to expect a high achievement. But

2034
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: right now, that's what the Rams did a few years

2035
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 1: ago when they went out and traded for some superstar players,

2036
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 1: when they had Jared Goff on a cheap deal. They

2037
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 1: went all in and they almost got to where they

2038
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:43,760
Speaker 1: wanted to be. They got to the super Bowl and

2039
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:48,000
Speaker 1: came up about a touchdown short. There. That's the approach

2040
01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:51,240
Speaker 1: you need to take when you have the economic advantage

2041
01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 1: of a cheap quarterback right now, And I got to say, Andy,

2042
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:58,320
Speaker 1: that example of the Rams is what scares me or

2043
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 1: concerns me a little bit about the bill that window

2044
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: can pose quickly. Candidate did for the Rams, well, it

2045
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:07,519
Speaker 1: did a year. The Rams weren't the same team last season.

2046
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:09,880
Speaker 1: I think it'll be really interesting to see what happens

2047
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:13,120
Speaker 1: with them this season because in some regard, you could

2048
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 1: argue that it's a referendum on this whole approach of

2049
01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:18,920
Speaker 1: going all in when you have a cheap quarterback. Because

2050
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:21,880
Speaker 1: the Rams got decimated in free agency this year. They

2051
01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:25,479
Speaker 1: lost their best linebacker, they said goodbye their best safety,

2052
01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:28,160
Speaker 1: they've lost a ton of their defensive depth. They're probably

2053
01:43:28,240 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 1: going to lose Brandon Cooks before the season starts, so

2054
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:34,600
Speaker 1: they've lost guys on both sides of the ball. And

2055
01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 1: how well do they perform now we'll find out because

2056
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:41,759
Speaker 1: they've still paid a few superstars. They pay Aaron Donald,

2057
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:45,439
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's not chief, Jared Goff gets big time starting

2058
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: QB money, So it's not like they don't have any players.

2059
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 1: But it's almost built like an NBA team over there,

2060
01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:53,280
Speaker 1: where it's a lot of superstars and then you fill

2061
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:55,760
Speaker 1: in the rest. And it'll be interesting to see if

2062
01:43:55,800 --> 01:43:58,200
Speaker 1: that formulas can work for them. And I think a

2063
01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 1: lot of other teams will take careful note because the Rams,

2064
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 1: by going all in when golf was cheap, they're paying

2065
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:07,320
Speaker 1: a price for that. Now they're losing more guys than

2066
01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:10,519
Speaker 1: they would have any There still seems to be teams

2067
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:14,240
Speaker 1: around the league that are consistently competitive. You look at Baltimore, Pittsburgh,

2068
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:17,920
Speaker 1: you look at New England. Of course it will see

2069
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:20,880
Speaker 1: about that. This year. Seattle seems to have done that,

2070
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 1: made the transition from a cheap young quarterback to a

2071
01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 1: contending team with a franchise quarterback, and also the New

2072
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:30,160
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints seemed to be always in the mix. Is

2073
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 1: there a way? And this is the assertion I've tried

2074
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: to make to Murph, And what I also think is

2075
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:39,960
Speaker 1: what the Bills are trying to sell their fans and

2076
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 1: what they've said publicly, they want to build so they

2077
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: can contend every year. It looks different like a team

2078
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:48,519
Speaker 1: like Seattle where Russell Wilson went to two Super Bowls

2079
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 1: early in his career, but they have remained competitive although

2080
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:55,320
Speaker 1: they have not gotten back there, They've remained competitive throughout

2081
01:44:55,439 --> 01:44:58,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's career because they built their team differently. Is

2082
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,920
Speaker 1: that more the blueprint that most teams will be looking

2083
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 1: at rather than the Rams blueprint? Well? Yes, possibly, it

2084
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 1: depends two year quarterback? Is I think one thing that

2085
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,439
Speaker 1: stands out with those five teams that you just named

2086
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:17,160
Speaker 1: for one, Well, with the exception of probably Baltimore, those

2087
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:20,280
Speaker 1: teams have superstar qbs and they've been able for the

2088
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 1: most part, they've been able to build around those guys.

2089
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 1: But number two is and I don't know who the

2090
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 1: longest ten year coaches are off the top of my head,

2091
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,120
Speaker 1: but I'm willing to bet it's all five guys that

2092
01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 1: you just named. Mike Tollin with the Steelers, John Harbaugh, Ravens,

2093
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: Sean Payton Saints, Pete Carroll with the Seahawks, and obviously

2094
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:41,280
Speaker 1: Belichick with New England. When you have patients and you

2095
01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:44,439
Speaker 1: keep a coaching staff in place over the long haul,

2096
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:48,040
Speaker 1: those coaches become better at what they're doing and coaching.

2097
01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:50,840
Speaker 1: In the NFL, next to the quarterback, I think that

2098
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 1: the coaching staff's the most important asset that you can

2099
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:55,280
Speaker 1: have on the team, and it might be to some

2100
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 1: degree it could be more important than the quarterback. So

2101
01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:00,240
Speaker 1: when you have that asset in place and will have

2102
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:03,240
Speaker 1: job security and they feel like they can really develop

2103
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,879
Speaker 1: a program and the way we do things in a system,

2104
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:08,880
Speaker 1: they get better at teaching it and coaching it, and

2105
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:11,719
Speaker 1: eventually the front office gets better at drafting at finding

2106
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:14,679
Speaker 1: guys because they know exactly what they need for the system.

2107
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:17,320
Speaker 1: So all these teams were talking about they do a

2108
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:20,760
Speaker 1: nice job with their mid round draft picks and they're

2109
01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:23,040
Speaker 1: able to maintain success that way. If you can't do

2110
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 1: that in the NFL, you're not gonna make it because

2111
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:28,360
Speaker 1: you can't afford to sign veterans in every position, it's

2112
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 1: not possible. So you have to be able to draft

2113
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 1: well and find guys who can play. And that comes

2114
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:35,640
Speaker 1: in the middle rounds as much as anything. And I

2115
01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:39,560
Speaker 1: think teams that have consistent, steady systems in place with

2116
01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:42,600
Speaker 1: long tenured head coaches, they have a real advantage with that.

2117
01:46:44,160 --> 01:46:46,679
Speaker 1: Live on the line with Andy Benoy, NFL draft analysts

2118
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:49,599
Speaker 1: and reporter. Hey, Andy, I can't recall maybe you can.

2119
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:53,400
Speaker 1: I can't recall any springtime, and it's different. Everything's different now.

2120
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:57,439
Speaker 1: But where there are so many legitimate quarterbacks still available

2121
01:46:57,479 --> 01:47:01,000
Speaker 1: in free agency, Jamis Winston, Cam Newton, Joe Flacco, I

2122
01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:03,680
Speaker 1: think would still be legitimate. I mean, what's going on?

2123
01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:07,160
Speaker 1: Why are is it a certain type of quarterback that's available,

2124
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:10,120
Speaker 1: or is it the coronavirus or is it just the

2125
01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 1: way free agency went this year? Well, I think it's

2126
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of an aberrational year. Those guys that you name,

2127
01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:20,599
Speaker 1: they all have unique concerns. Flacco has the injury concerned

2128
01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 1: that sidelined them last season. I think it was the

2129
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:27,799
Speaker 1: next problem. Cam Newton is a running type of QB

2130
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:31,240
Speaker 1: with shoulder problems in his past, and he was not

2131
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:33,800
Speaker 1: on the field a whole lot last year. And then

2132
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:38,600
Speaker 1: Winston's an interesting case because what Jamis Winston is right now.

2133
01:47:38,600 --> 01:47:41,280
Speaker 1: He's a starting caliber quarterback for sure. He said he

2134
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:44,240
Speaker 1: needs a quality player, and he's a guy that throws

2135
01:47:44,320 --> 01:47:47,479
Speaker 1: way too many interceptions. So anybody who signs jami Is

2136
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 1: Winston the first conversations, can we get him to throw

2137
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:53,639
Speaker 1: fewer interceptions? How do we do that? And the answer

2138
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:56,640
Speaker 1: with guys like that almost always is you have to

2139
01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:59,800
Speaker 1: regulate them with your system. You have to call plays

2140
01:47:59,840 --> 01:48:02,560
Speaker 1: that get the ball out of their hand quicker and

2141
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:06,000
Speaker 1: not allow them to read full field reads snap after

2142
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 1: snap where they can be pushing the ball downfield at

2143
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 1: the deeper levels. So get the ball out DNC and

2144
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:14,320
Speaker 1: dunk find some rhythm, be a safer QB. It worked

2145
01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:16,600
Speaker 1: really well with Jay Cutler when Adam Days was in

2146
01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:19,280
Speaker 1: Chicago in twenty fifteen, so that's what you need to

2147
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 1: do with Winston. The problem is Winston does not have

2148
01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:24,960
Speaker 1: the type of throwing mechanics that lend themselves to that.

2149
01:48:25,479 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 1: So he can't run a Deacon dunk off in because

2150
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:31,840
Speaker 1: efficiently as other guys. Because he's a methodical drop back guy.

2151
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:34,479
Speaker 1: He is a little bit of a longer delivery. So

2152
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 1: his best approach is to throw at the deeper intermediate

2153
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:41,040
Speaker 1: levels like he's been doing, but he throws too many

2154
01:48:41,080 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 1: interceptions doing that. So the quality player with this bizarre,

2155
01:48:45,640 --> 01:48:48,760
Speaker 1: costly flaw of turnovers and I don't know if you

2156
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 1: can scheme your way around it with him. Well, aside

2157
01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:55,040
Speaker 1: from the quarterbacks that are out there in the free

2158
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 1: agent market, there's also a bunch of other guys like

2159
01:48:57,320 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 1: most notably a guy like Jadeveon Clowney, and we all

2160
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:03,120
Speaker 1: expect from the rest of the free agent market isn't

2161
01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:05,160
Speaker 1: going to pick up near the end, near the draft

2162
01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 1: or just after the draft. And why isn't a guy

2163
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 1: with who is as highly rated as Jadevian Clowney is,

2164
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 1: Why isn't he still Why isn't he signed by anybody? Well,

2165
01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. My guess is his asking price has

2166
01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:22,000
Speaker 1: been very high, so he probably boxed himself out of

2167
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 1: some of the early bidding with that asking price. He

2168
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, coronavirus obviously in factors and everything that's going

2169
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,400
Speaker 1: on in our world right down every way we can imagine,

2170
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 1: and in his case, he's you would really want to

2171
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:38,639
Speaker 1: get a medical examination on him before you invested long

2172
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:41,880
Speaker 1: term because of the litany of different injuries that he's had,

2173
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:44,360
Speaker 1: and if you're not able to get that medical test

2174
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:46,720
Speaker 1: on him, you know that you're gonna er on the

2175
01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:49,400
Speaker 1: site of not signing him most likely. So that that's

2176
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,200
Speaker 1: a big part of it. But the other part of

2177
01:49:52,280 --> 01:49:55,360
Speaker 1: it is we think that Jadevi and Clowney, because he's

2178
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:57,599
Speaker 1: listed as a defensive end and he came in as

2179
01:49:57,600 --> 01:49:59,679
Speaker 1: a number one picked there and he's been a good player,

2180
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 1: we think, okay, well he's a pass rusher. He's really

2181
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:05,200
Speaker 1: not a passer. He's certainly not an edge rusher. He

2182
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:08,679
Speaker 1: doesn't bend around the edge. He is a very stiff athlete.

2183
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 1: He is an explosive athlete. He's powerful, he's dynamic, but

2184
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:15,280
Speaker 1: he's stiff. So you have to play with him a

2185
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:19,120
Speaker 1: certain way. Ideally he'd be a defensive tackle in your

2186
01:50:19,160 --> 01:50:21,920
Speaker 1: passing situations. He does I've heard he doesn't like to

2187
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 1: line up inside in a two or a three point stance,

2188
01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:28,160
Speaker 1: So what he typically has done then has become a

2189
01:50:28,240 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 1: two point stance blitzer. So do you have a scheme

2190
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:34,600
Speaker 1: that's conducive to blitzing with a guy like that? Not

2191
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:37,240
Speaker 1: every team does Seattle really does it, And they had

2192
01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:40,200
Speaker 1: to find some ways to adjust and use Clowney accordingly

2193
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 1: last year. But Clowney at his best is a dominant

2194
01:50:44,280 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 1: run defender, which matters, and he is a good, not

2195
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,240
Speaker 1: great pass rusher that you have to scheme with. So

2196
01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:52,720
Speaker 1: the question then is what's the value of a guy

2197
01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 1: like that? And then you factor in the injuries, and

2198
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a complicated situation. And I

2199
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 1: just say one more question for you. I guess I'm

2200
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:04,760
Speaker 1: looking for you to take a stab at what do

2201
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:07,760
Speaker 1: you think NFL regular season might look like this year?

2202
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:10,559
Speaker 1: How much different is it going to be? Just a guess.

2203
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 1: I know nobody knows exactly what the timing of coronavirus

2204
01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:15,320
Speaker 1: is going to be here, how long we live with this,

2205
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 1: But do you think we're looking at a major upheaval

2206
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:20,680
Speaker 1: in the way that when the schedule begins and the

2207
01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:24,360
Speaker 1: way the schedule works this year, well, you know, I

2208
01:51:24,439 --> 01:51:26,600
Speaker 1: mean it would be a wild guest route because I

2209
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:28,760
Speaker 1: think the answer to that question, I don't think the

2210
01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:31,240
Speaker 1: NFL is in any kind of control of it. They're

2211
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:34,040
Speaker 1: very little control of it. And when this whole thing started,

2212
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:36,680
Speaker 1: my sense as the league probably thought were we are

2213
01:51:36,720 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 1: in some kind of control of it, and they've done

2214
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:40,479
Speaker 1: a nice job to keep it control. They've kept themselves

2215
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 1: on schedule. They proceeded with free agency, they're going to

2216
01:51:43,439 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: proceed with the draft or losing the off season programs.

2217
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:48,720
Speaker 1: We're going to do things a little differently, but we're

2218
01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:51,880
Speaker 1: still moving down the calendar at the same rate. Well,

2219
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:55,479
Speaker 1: you can't do that with Dame's necessarily. I've heard the

2220
01:51:55,560 --> 01:51:59,439
Speaker 1: idea that maybe they play on a desert island type

2221
01:51:59,479 --> 01:52:02,040
Speaker 1: of site. I don't think that will ever happen, So

2222
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the NFL's call. But be honest

2223
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:06,880
Speaker 1: with you, guys, I think it'll be a funk to

2224
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:11,120
Speaker 1: where the rest of society is. Andy, I got to

2225
01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:15,360
Speaker 1: ask you this, if will the NFL will staying on

2226
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 1: schedule for the NFL continue given what we're seeing, Well,

2227
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna get harder. It's gonna get harder because all

2228
01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:26,800
Speaker 1: the stuff they're doing now is just on paper stuff.

2229
01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:28,559
Speaker 1: Even the draft is at the end of the day

2230
01:52:29,120 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 1: on paper events. You call in, you place your pick,

2231
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:33,880
Speaker 1: and it just written down. Now you got that guy.

2232
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:36,680
Speaker 1: No one's going out and contacting each other, not being

2233
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:40,200
Speaker 1: in the room with other people so they can continue

2234
01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:42,439
Speaker 1: to get away with that. But once the draft is done,

2235
01:52:42,720 --> 01:52:45,800
Speaker 1: then they're starting to get quote unquote off schedule because

2236
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:50,160
Speaker 1: they're losing their offseason programs. And what we're really asking

2237
01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:54,400
Speaker 1: is do we think the coronavirus will be taken care

2238
01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 1: of and stabilized from our lifestyle standpoint by August, maybe September,

2239
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:04,960
Speaker 1: And that's anybody's guess right now. Andy, thanks for doing this.

2240
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:07,680
Speaker 1: Stay healthy and we'll check in with you again. Thanks

2241
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:13,400
Speaker 1: very much. Okay, thanks guys, NFL draft analysts and reporter

2242
01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:18,000
Speaker 1: joining us variety of topics. I feel guilty asking him

2243
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:20,360
Speaker 1: that question, Steve, nobody knows. He can't know I was

2244
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna wind up, right. I think that's he's just taking

2245
01:53:22,920 --> 01:53:25,000
Speaker 1: a wild guess. I don't blame him, you know, Yeah,

2246
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 1: I think though some of these some of these are

2247
01:53:27,600 --> 01:53:31,080
Speaker 1: analysts like Andy Benoyton, like Judy Batista, and like Peter King,

2248
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 1: all these guys that we speak to on a regular basis,

2249
01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 1: off and on throughout the year, they do have conversations

2250
01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:44,120
Speaker 1: with people who hear things general managers, owners, head coaches, executives,

2251
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes they get a feel for what's going to

2252
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:50,320
Speaker 1: happen before it happens. And we got to ask him though,

2253
01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:53,920
Speaker 1: because it's coming down the tracks like one hundred miles

2254
01:53:53,920 --> 01:53:57,280
Speaker 1: an hour, and sooner or later it's gonna It is

2255
01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna affect the National Football League just like it's affected

2256
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:02,920
Speaker 1: the other league's in a massive way. Yeah, you're right,

2257
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:05,840
Speaker 1: it is coming quickly. I mean, figure about where we

2258
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:09,120
Speaker 1: started this earlier this month, we're saying I was saying, Gee,

2259
01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if they should even do free agency,

2260
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:13,880
Speaker 1: and what's the point of, you know, following through with

2261
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:16,880
Speaker 1: free agency. Will free agency is here and it's not over,

2262
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:19,439
Speaker 1: but at big chuck of it is over. And next

2263
01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 1: is the draft three and a half weeks away. They're

2264
01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:24,720
Speaker 1: locked into April twenty third in a format that we're

2265
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:27,960
Speaker 1: not quite sure of. But yeah, stuff's coming quickly now.

2266
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:30,240
Speaker 1: And Andy's right. Once you get through the draft, that's

2267
01:54:30,240 --> 01:54:33,200
Speaker 1: all paper stuff. Then you get offseason workouts and training camps,

2268
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:36,120
Speaker 1: and that's the stuff that could really really be held

2269
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:39,080
Speaker 1: up by the coronavirus. Yeah, and we talked about this

2270
01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:42,440
Speaker 1: with Judy Batista. The Bills are at an advantage because

2271
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:45,360
Speaker 1: everybody's coming back who's in key spots on the coaching

2272
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:49,800
Speaker 1: staff and their key players, their quarterback, their offensive line,

2273
01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:52,120
Speaker 1: their defensive line's got three new guys on it. But

2274
01:54:52,240 --> 01:54:54,800
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of players that are entrenched here.

2275
01:54:54,920 --> 01:54:58,160
Speaker 1: The system's entrenched. Anybody who's a carry over from last

2276
01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:00,400
Speaker 1: year's got a year under their belt in both systems,

2277
01:55:00,760 --> 01:55:04,080
Speaker 1: both on offense and defense. There's you know, they can

2278
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:07,840
Speaker 1: more easily hit the ground running when the league does

2279
01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 1: begin than other teams who are switching head coaches and coordinators.

2280
01:55:12,360 --> 01:55:14,400
Speaker 1: Good point. And as you said that, I just was

2281
01:55:14,480 --> 01:55:17,280
Speaker 1: thinking about our buddy Alex van Pelt, you know, getting

2282
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:19,320
Speaker 1: a chance to be an offensive coordinator again now with

2283
01:55:19,400 --> 01:55:22,280
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, new head coach there in Cleveland, new

2284
01:55:22,360 --> 01:55:25,240
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in Cleveland, and what can they do? It

2285
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:28,120
Speaker 1: does not you know, typically they would be a week

2286
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:30,960
Speaker 1: away from offseason workouts, right that they would start a

2287
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:33,080
Speaker 1: week the Bills we're going to start April twentieth. That's

2288
01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:35,680
Speaker 1: off now, you would think, and they were probably the

2289
01:55:35,680 --> 01:55:39,400
Speaker 1: Browns are probably gonna start April thirteenth. Doesn't appear that's

2290
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:42,280
Speaker 1: likely to start either. They can have classroom meetings, but

2291
01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:44,200
Speaker 1: it's not the same, right See, it's not the same

2292
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:45,920
Speaker 1: as getting out of the field, and when you're trying

2293
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:49,240
Speaker 1: to install a new offense and defense on field, reps

2294
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:52,080
Speaker 1: make a difference, I would think. Plus, everybody's new. I mean,

2295
01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 1: he's got to meet these guys for the first time.

2296
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:56,680
Speaker 1: He's got to actually carry a meeting for the first time.

2297
01:55:56,760 --> 01:56:00,240
Speaker 1: He hasn't done that. Even these guys haven't even met

2298
01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:04,520
Speaker 1: each other, buying large, let alone tried to work together

2299
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:08,000
Speaker 1: to run a single play. Let alone know the words

2300
01:56:08,280 --> 01:56:11,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna help him, you know, the vocabulary that even

2301
01:56:11,520 --> 01:56:16,680
Speaker 1: to call the play. They're starting from a standing start

2302
01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:20,840
Speaker 1: with a bunch of strangers in the room, and that,

2303
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, think about where Josh Allen and Devin Singletary

2304
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:29,000
Speaker 1: and even the young guys like Devin Singletary and Dawson Knox.

2305
01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:31,320
Speaker 1: Think of where they are as opposed to you know,

2306
01:56:31,360 --> 01:56:34,760
Speaker 1: where somebody like like Alex van Pelt offensive coordinator in Cleveland,

2307
01:56:34,800 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 1: first time. He hasn't even met Baker Mayfield. He hasn't

2308
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:39,680
Speaker 1: even met you know, uh, you know O, b J.

2309
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 1: All these guys they got to even they may not

2310
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:45,880
Speaker 1: even recognize that Alex van Pelt if they see him

2311
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:49,480
Speaker 1: on the street. M that's a long way behind where

2312
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:51,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are three years in under the same

2313
01:56:52,560 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, with the same crucial guys coming back. I

2314
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:58,640
Speaker 1: mean it's light years behind. Yep, Hey, we got one

2315
01:56:58,680 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 1: tweet we should address real quick. As the release of

2316
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:04,440
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty schedule been pushedback given this flu situation

2317
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 1: is the question, and there's nothing official yet that might

2318
01:57:07,640 --> 01:57:10,120
Speaker 1: look The league always that plays secrets with when the

2319
01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 1: schedule is going to be released. Typically it's about a

2320
01:57:12,480 --> 01:57:14,360
Speaker 1: week a week and a half before the draft, which

2321
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:17,920
Speaker 1: would put it April thirteenth or April tenth or so.

2322
01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 1: It is reported that it is probably going to be

2323
01:57:20,720 --> 01:57:23,000
Speaker 1: mid May, so it probably got to get through these

2324
01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 1: owners meetings this week on the conference call and maybe

2325
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:28,960
Speaker 1: even the May owners meetings before they release the schedule.

2326
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:33,160
Speaker 1: And I think Peter King reported this today. There's no rush, right, Steve.

2327
01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what differ doesn't make when the schedule comes out.

2328
01:57:36,280 --> 01:57:37,840
Speaker 1: You may know a little bit more in May than

2329
01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 1: you do in April, which is just a few days

2330
01:57:40,440 --> 01:57:42,520
Speaker 1: away now, So right, no rush to it. But no,

2331
01:57:42,720 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 1: officially it hasn't been pushed back, and you're usually not

2332
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:48,160
Speaker 1: an official release date anyway, so they just won't announce

2333
01:57:48,160 --> 01:57:50,400
Speaker 1: it until they're ready, and they're probably gonna wait a while. Yeah,

2334
01:57:50,440 --> 01:57:52,520
Speaker 1: And it takes a while to get it right because

2335
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 1: of all the moving parts, and you don't want, you know,

2336
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:59,000
Speaker 1: because if you gave it to computer, well then you'd have,

2337
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, one team with six home games in a row,

2338
01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:06,160
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So they really had to put

2339
01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:10,000
Speaker 1: eyes on it to walk walk it through. And you're right, Murph,

2340
01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:12,840
Speaker 1: we already know who the opponents are. We know who

2341
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:16,120
Speaker 1: the home opponents are and the away opponents. So it's

2342
01:58:16,160 --> 01:58:19,360
Speaker 1: virtually just about what day it's gonna be, Is it

2343
01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:21,120
Speaker 1: gonna be early the season, late in the season, and

2344
01:58:21,200 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 1: which primetime games are going to be And that's what

2345
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:26,520
Speaker 1: really fans care about. Everything else is pretty much a

2346
01:58:26,640 --> 01:58:29,160
Speaker 1: push as to how important it is. Who's our buddy?

2347
01:58:29,200 --> 01:58:30,640
Speaker 1: We've had him on the show a couple of times.

2348
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:33,680
Speaker 1: Who does scheduling and networks? We had him on last

2349
01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:36,400
Speaker 1: year and when they were when they maybe Jay Harris,

2350
01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 1: our producer, knows a good guy works for the league.

2351
01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:41,480
Speaker 1: We had him on last December when they flexed the

2352
01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:44,960
Speaker 1: Bills game to nighttime, the Pittsburgh game. At any rate,

2353
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:46,960
Speaker 1: I will never remember that in a million Can you

2354
01:58:47,120 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 1: imagine what he's gone through right now with all the

2355
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:53,720
Speaker 1: U You can't how could he even begin to put

2356
01:58:53,760 --> 01:58:55,920
Speaker 1: together a schedule. They probably had, you know, when this

2357
01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:58,600
Speaker 1: first started and March first, let's say they probably had

2358
01:58:58,640 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good EDU in pencil anyway, and right now

2359
01:59:02,440 --> 01:59:04,120
Speaker 1: they don't know when they're gonna be playing, or where

2360
01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:05,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna be playing, or how they're gonna be playing that.

2361
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:07,960
Speaker 1: But that would be a nightmare. Michael North is his name?

2362
01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:09,840
Speaker 1: Thank you? Jay. All right, we got a break here.

2363
01:59:10,080 --> 01:59:12,280
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. Let's get you back involved in

2364

2366
01:59:19,640 --> 01:59:22,920
Speaker 1: defensive line, something else. We'll recap the Twitter poll results

2367
01:59:22,960 --> 01:59:24,560
Speaker 1: in a moment, and we'll take some phone calls. We

2368

2378

2382
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:13,960
Speaker 1: close ballot and we've got enough responses, seven hundred responses.

2383
02:00:14,080 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: If you look at the bills roster right now, which

2384
02:00:16,320 --> 02:00:19,200
Speaker 1: position battle intrigues you the most? Thirty six percent of

2385
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:24,600
Speaker 1: you say defensive line, thirty five percent say cornerback, twenty

2386
02:00:24,680 --> 02:00:27,560
Speaker 1: three percent say offensive line, six percent of something else

2387
02:00:27,640 --> 02:00:30,160
Speaker 1: in mind. Give us a call eight three fifty to

2388
02:00:30,480 --> 02:00:34,160
Speaker 1: three one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifteen.

2389
02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think which position battle I'm

2390
02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:38,400
Speaker 1: talking about? If we get to training camp, and if

2391
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:41,360
Speaker 1: we get into training camp and the bills are, you know,

2392
02:00:41,640 --> 02:00:43,640
Speaker 1: have a couple of position battles, where do you think

2393
02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:46,080
Speaker 1: they'll be? From the tweet sheet brought to you by

2394
02:00:46,160 --> 02:00:51,320
Speaker 1: Corgan Moving Systems, Lenard Stevens says the reason I picked

2395
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:53,839
Speaker 1: offensive lines because I'd love to see Cody Ford excel

2396
02:00:53,920 --> 02:00:57,120
Speaker 1: at guard. While I understand having diversity among linemen, it

2397
02:00:57,120 --> 02:00:59,560
Speaker 1: would seem it would seem like it be who for

2398
02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:02,760
Speaker 1: to move insight as he obviously struggled the tackle, Let

2399
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:05,040
Speaker 1: him master guard and be great. Lenart, I don't know.

2400
02:01:05,080 --> 02:01:07,480
Speaker 1: If he's struggled to tackle, I think he'd be better inside,

2401
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:11,240
Speaker 1: though I'd like to see him at least whenever the offseason,

2402
02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:13,320
Speaker 1: and this could be a factor when they get back

2403
02:01:13,320 --> 02:01:15,560
Speaker 1: to work. Maybe there's not enough time to convert him

2404
02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:17,040
Speaker 1: to playing guard. Steve, I don't know, but I would

2405
02:01:17,080 --> 02:01:18,800
Speaker 1: like to see him get a shot at guard. Yeah.

2406
02:01:18,880 --> 02:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean he can play a position, no question. I

2407
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:23,040
Speaker 1: think what will happen is they'll give him a chance

2408
02:01:23,080 --> 02:01:25,800
Speaker 1: to compete in both spots and wherever they're better. If

2409
02:01:25,840 --> 02:01:28,240
Speaker 1: they're better with him at guard, that's where he's gonna play.

2410
02:01:28,240 --> 02:01:30,400
Speaker 1: And if they're better with him at tackle, that's where

2411
02:01:30,440 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 1: they'll play. And a lot of that, Murph has to

2412
02:01:32,840 --> 02:01:35,440
Speaker 1: do with the tackle and guard that he'd be rotating

2413
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:38,640
Speaker 1: with that he's in competition with, Yeah, and that's that's

2414
02:01:38,680 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 1: where it's going to come down to. So he's gonna

2415
02:01:41,440 --> 02:01:44,040
Speaker 1: be at the place the bet gives the Bills the

2416
02:01:44,160 --> 02:01:47,920
Speaker 1: best chance to win, not necessarily the place that's best

2417
02:01:48,040 --> 02:01:50,360
Speaker 1: for Cody Ford, but bet the place is best for

2418
02:01:50,440 --> 02:01:53,040
Speaker 1: the team. And that's that's that's why it's gonna That's

2419
02:01:53,040 --> 02:01:55,120
Speaker 1: why it's gonna be one more from the tweet, Chee

2420
02:01:55,120 --> 02:01:58,000
Speaker 1: Scott w I say cornerback because as you guys said,

2421
02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:01,280
Speaker 1: we're all not sure who will start opposite Tardavias White.

2422
02:02:01,480 --> 02:02:05,520
Speaker 1: Can Levi Wallace bounce back? Can each Gaines play like

2423
02:02:05,600 --> 02:02:08,040
Speaker 1: he used to? Can Josh Norman as well? It's going

2424
02:02:08,120 --> 02:02:09,760
Speaker 1: to depend on who can beat out who for that

2425
02:02:09,920 --> 02:02:13,920
Speaker 1: other side, as Levi Wallace needs to bounce back, need

2426
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 1: to bounce back from something. Steve No, I just I

2427
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:20,000
Speaker 1: just I don't think, well, let's put it this way.

2428
02:02:20,040 --> 02:02:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, um, they've brought two other cornerbacks with starting

2429
02:02:24,120 --> 02:02:29,680
Speaker 1: experience in for a reason. Yeah, they need failed at

2430
02:02:29,760 --> 02:02:32,120
Speaker 1: corner though, right. No, I don't think he failed, But

2431
02:02:32,240 --> 02:02:34,400
Speaker 1: I do think they're looking for somebody to come in

2432
02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:36,840
Speaker 1: there and be the guy that's better than everybody else,

2433
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:38,280
Speaker 1: or at least a guy they don't have to look

2434
02:02:38,320 --> 02:02:41,680
Speaker 1: at and say, man, oh man, he needs to play better. Maybe, Uh,

2435
02:02:41,800 --> 02:02:44,320
Speaker 1: they don't think that Levi Wallace did play up to

2436
02:02:44,400 --> 02:02:47,880
Speaker 1: his potential despite the fact that he wasn't glaringly weak.

2437
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Murph. Certainly nobody's gonna throw him a

2438
02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 1: lot at Tardavious White. Um. But if you're if you're

2439
02:02:56,400 --> 02:02:59,720
Speaker 1: looking at Levi Wallace or at the defensive backfield and

2440
02:02:59,800 --> 02:03:01,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna say we need to get better, that's where

2441
02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna look. That's exactly where your eyes take you.

2442
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:06,840
Speaker 1: That's or whether he's whether he played as good as

2443
02:03:06,880 --> 02:03:08,920
Speaker 1: he could play or not as good as he could play,

2444
02:03:08,960 --> 02:03:11,520
Speaker 1: whether he filled his potential, or whether he's got a

2445
02:03:11,640 --> 02:03:14,280
Speaker 1: top end that still needs to be reached. The Bills

2446
02:03:14,320 --> 02:03:16,680
Speaker 1: are trying to get better, and that's where they're going

2447
02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:19,160
Speaker 1: to start on the defense, at least in the secondary. Hey,

2448
02:03:19,240 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 1: let's get to NFL True or False brought to you

2449
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 1: by Yantes Fancy New York's artists in Cheese True or

2450
02:03:23,720 --> 02:03:27,120
Speaker 1: False Part one, The Bills should go back to red

2451
02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:30,560
Speaker 1: helmets under a possible new helmet rule. There's a report

2452
02:03:30,640 --> 02:03:34,960
Speaker 1: that the NFL may allow players may allow teams to

2453
02:03:35,040 --> 02:03:38,680
Speaker 1: go back to an alternate uniform with an alternate helmet

2454
02:03:38,760 --> 02:03:42,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, not the outcoming year. The Bucks started.

2455
02:03:42,280 --> 02:03:44,320
Speaker 1: The Bruce Arians said they're gonna probably try to use

2456
02:03:44,360 --> 02:03:47,360
Speaker 1: that creamsicle throwback uniform in twenty twenty one. The league says,

2457
02:03:47,520 --> 02:03:50,120
Speaker 1: nothing's gonna happen this year, but maybe in twenty one.

2458
02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:52,080
Speaker 1: I'd be all right with that, Steve if they went

2459
02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 1: back to the red helmets in twenty twenty one. Once

2460
02:03:54,520 --> 02:03:57,200
Speaker 1: in a while, right, permanently, permanently or once in a while,

2461
02:03:57,360 --> 02:03:59,720
Speaker 1: once in a while alternate uniform type. Yeah, I don't

2462
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:01,440
Speaker 1: have a once in a while. Yeah, but I like

2463
02:04:01,560 --> 02:04:03,360
Speaker 1: the white helmets the way they look now, I like

2464
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 1: to Yeah, I mean I think they look sharp. And

2465
02:04:05,640 --> 02:04:07,800
Speaker 1: they when you see the bills and they're all whites

2466
02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:10,160
Speaker 1: with the blue blue helmets and I mean the blue

2467
02:04:10,480 --> 02:04:13,400
Speaker 1: numbers and the and the white helmets, and they look sharp,

2468
02:04:13,600 --> 02:04:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean really sharp. We should do that. Here, here's

2469
02:04:16,080 --> 02:04:19,000
Speaker 1: a Twitter poll for the future, maybe the immediate future.

2470
02:04:19,320 --> 02:04:22,600
Speaker 1: Your favorite uniform? Yeah, what is it? All whites, all blues,

2471
02:04:23,080 --> 02:04:25,240
Speaker 1: all reds. You know, I don't know if we can

2472
02:04:25,520 --> 02:04:28,440
Speaker 1: format it into their tit. I like the color rush too,

2473
02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:29,960
Speaker 1: when they come out with the white helmets and the

2474
02:04:30,080 --> 02:04:33,040
Speaker 1: red red a red that's pretty sharp as well. True

2475
02:04:33,080 --> 02:04:36,120
Speaker 1: or false? Part two? The acquisition is stefan Diggs will

2476
02:04:36,120 --> 02:04:39,320
Speaker 1: have the biggest impact on the twenty twenty season. Adam

2477
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:43,360
Speaker 1: Shine Big Bills Booster Really on his radio show says

2478
02:04:43,440 --> 02:04:47,840
Speaker 1: the Digs acquisition will be the fourth most important offseason acquisition.

2479
02:04:49,040 --> 02:04:51,680
Speaker 1: He says Josh Allen needed a true number one and

2480
02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:54,400
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Diggs fan, And he says it will

2481
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:57,280
Speaker 1: be the fourth most important acquisition of the offseason. What

2482
02:04:57,360 --> 02:04:59,440
Speaker 1: do you think, Steve, true or false? What do you

2483
02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:02,080
Speaker 1: have idea? What the first three worth? Stefinitely I was

2484
02:05:02,120 --> 02:05:05,160
Speaker 1: thinking of that. I'm guessing Brady is one, or I

2485
02:05:05,240 --> 02:05:07,080
Speaker 1: got you meet around the league. I thought you on

2486
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:10,080
Speaker 1: the Bills. No, no, no, no, okay, yeah, Yeah, it's

2487
02:05:10,120 --> 02:05:16,160
Speaker 1: gonna be big, no question about it. I think yeah,

2488
02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:18,840
Speaker 1: I think it has a chance to really help Josh

2489
02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:21,400
Speaker 1: Allen out. I think what on top of another offseason

2490
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 1: of working on is on everything he works on, Josh Allen.

2491
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:26,320
Speaker 1: I think there's no question Steph Diggs is gonna make

2492
02:05:26,360 --> 02:05:29,240
Speaker 1: a big difference not only for Josh Allen Murph, but

2493
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:33,400
Speaker 1: also for John Brown and Cole Beasley. I think it's

2494
02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:36,960
Speaker 1: really gonna help this offense take one more step forward

2495
02:05:37,040 --> 02:05:41,880
Speaker 1: like it did last year. YEP. Finally Part three NFL

2496
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:44,400
Speaker 1: True or false. Cam Newton's best landing spot is with

2497
02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:47,360
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. False. I say, I don't think

2498
02:05:47,440 --> 02:05:50,880
Speaker 1: he's a right fit for that franchise. He's a good player,

2499
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:53,480
Speaker 1: I think, to be honest, I think Jameis Winston would

2500
02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:55,720
Speaker 1: be better fit for the Patriots than Cam Newton. What

2501
02:05:55,760 --> 02:05:57,920
Speaker 1: do you think, Steve? I might agree with you there.

2502
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't think Cam Newton is the type of guy

2503
02:06:00,320 --> 02:06:03,080
Speaker 1: that would fit what they're doing in New England. I

2504
02:06:03,200 --> 02:06:05,360
Speaker 1: think he plays a little bit off the cuff too much.

2505
02:06:05,840 --> 02:06:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that plays to the way New England

2506
02:06:08,240 --> 02:06:11,000
Speaker 1: does things, certainly not the way they've done it with

2507
02:06:11,120 --> 02:06:15,120
Speaker 1: the other with Tom Brady. Jamis Winston, for all the

2508
02:06:15,200 --> 02:06:19,600
Speaker 1: things we've seen he does, he does kind of try

2509
02:06:19,800 --> 02:06:22,640
Speaker 1: his to work the offense. He tries to run the offense.

2510
02:06:22,720 --> 02:06:26,240
Speaker 1: Cam Newton not always. I think to Cam Newton's quick

2511
02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:28,040
Speaker 1: to go off the page, even at this point of

2512
02:06:28,120 --> 02:06:30,840
Speaker 1: his career, and I think Jamis I think you're right.

2513
02:06:31,600 --> 02:06:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't think either of them is perfect by long stretch,

2514
02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:39,200
Speaker 1: but I think Jamis Winston's probably a better fit than

2515
02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:41,000
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. I do too. All right, there you go.

2516
02:06:41,640 --> 02:06:43,960
Speaker 1: NFL True or False brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2517
02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:46,280
Speaker 1: New York's artist and Gie Steve and I back in

2518
02:06:46,320 --> 02:06:49,080
Speaker 1: a moment One Bill's Line, presented by Klaida Health. This

2519
02:06:49,520 --> 02:07:01,920
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Report. Hey, what do we learn from

2520
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:04,200
Speaker 1: today's show? It is brought to you by Skyworks, the

2521
02:07:04,280 --> 02:07:07,560
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company in the Buffalo Bills. We

2522
02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:10,760
Speaker 1: an NFL dot Com and NFL never Report your Judy

2523
02:07:10,760 --> 02:07:13,520
Speaker 1: Batista on the show, she talked about the timeline for

2524
02:07:13,600 --> 02:07:16,280
Speaker 1: the beginning of the NFL season with all the concerns

2525
02:07:16,360 --> 02:07:19,920
Speaker 1: about COVID nineteen. Here's Judy Batista. Obviously, the big question

2526
02:07:20,040 --> 02:07:23,600
Speaker 1: is could can you start training camp safely in a

2527
02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:27,520
Speaker 1: way that doesn't imperil the health of the players? You know?

2528
02:07:28,080 --> 02:07:30,960
Speaker 1: Do you have fans there? Who knows? You know, one

2529
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:33,680
Speaker 1: person sits to me last week, like you know, first

2530
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:36,080
Speaker 1: week in September. Are we going to be okay? Are

2531
02:07:36,120 --> 02:07:37,480
Speaker 1: we going to be at a point in the country

2532
02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:40,280
Speaker 1: where you're going to be comfortable having eighty thousand people

2533
02:07:40,320 --> 02:07:44,000
Speaker 1: in a stadium for a football game? Who knows. I mean,

2534
02:07:44,200 --> 02:07:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's just impossible to know right now. But again,

2535
02:07:47,760 --> 02:07:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, they've got the luxury of a little time here,

2536
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:52,400
Speaker 1: so I think they're they're going to sit tight and

2537
02:07:52,520 --> 02:07:55,120
Speaker 1: wait before they make any decisions on that. And you

2538
02:07:55,200 --> 02:07:58,320
Speaker 1: know they can wait pretty long before they have to

2539
02:07:58,400 --> 02:08:01,520
Speaker 1: make a decision on when they would open training camps.

2540
02:08:02,720 --> 02:08:05,760
Speaker 1: Judy Batista on NFL Network and NFL dot Com. We

2541
02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:09,520
Speaker 1: had Andy Benoit on NFL traft Reporter, NFL Reporter, and

2542
02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:13,640
Speaker 1: he maintains that the Buffalo Bill's championship window is open

2543
02:08:13,880 --> 02:08:16,880
Speaker 1: right now. There's Andy Benoit, especially when you have a

2544
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:19,960
Speaker 1: QB on his rookie contract, because we've heard about how

2545
02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:24,160
Speaker 1: advantageous that becomes as the value of veteran quarterbacks goes up,

2546
02:08:24,480 --> 02:08:28,360
Speaker 1: those rookie wage scales that stays pretty static, so you

2547
02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:31,880
Speaker 1: get a really cheap quarterback essentially, and so you want

2548
02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:34,200
Speaker 1: to use that money to go out and get other positions.

2549
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:36,520
Speaker 1: I think we've seen Buffalo do that. This was a

2550
02:08:36,640 --> 02:08:39,480
Speaker 1: year with a really deep wide receiver class in the draft,

2551
02:08:39,560 --> 02:08:42,600
Speaker 1: and yet they still the Bill still traded away a

2552
02:08:42,680 --> 02:08:45,600
Speaker 1: first round pick to get Stefan Diggs. And the reason

2553
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:48,160
Speaker 1: they do that is because we know what we're getting

2554
02:08:48,160 --> 02:08:50,360
Speaker 1: with Diggs, and we might feel good about our scouting

2555
02:08:50,400 --> 02:08:52,560
Speaker 1: and we might like a lot of these rookie receivers,

2556
02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:55,600
Speaker 1: but we're humble enough to also know that about fifty

2557
02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:58,480
Speaker 1: percent of the really good players in the draft still

2558
02:08:58,560 --> 02:09:00,920
Speaker 1: don't pan out in the NFL. The crap shoot, you're

2559
02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:03,080
Speaker 1: not sure what you're going to get every time. We

2560
02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:05,600
Speaker 1: know what we're giving with Figs because he's been doing

2561
02:09:05,680 --> 02:09:10,240
Speaker 1: in the league for a while. Interesting, Steve, if you

2562
02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:13,720
Speaker 1: think I'm too focused on that championship window, I detect

2563
02:09:13,760 --> 02:09:17,120
Speaker 1: that you might think so, well, I don't care about

2564
02:09:17,160 --> 02:09:19,760
Speaker 1: the one I care about this year. Give me, give

2565
02:09:19,800 --> 02:09:21,160
Speaker 1: me through this year. I want to. I want to

2566
02:09:21,160 --> 02:09:23,480
Speaker 1: have a shot at a championship this year. And by

2567
02:09:23,520 --> 02:09:26,000
Speaker 1: the way, Murph, there's a lot of fan bases out there.

2568
02:09:26,120 --> 02:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Just give me a shot at this window and all

2569
02:09:27,920 --> 02:09:31,720
Speaker 1: go through another rebuild. But provided it doesn't take twenty

2570
02:09:31,800 --> 02:09:34,080
Speaker 1: years to rebuild, you know, give me another vault. I'll

2571
02:09:34,120 --> 02:09:36,080
Speaker 1: give you another four years to rebuild or whatever. But

2572
02:09:36,120 --> 02:09:37,800
Speaker 1: if I can have a shot at a super Bowl

2573
02:09:38,080 --> 02:09:41,120
Speaker 1: and have a chance at a championship, you can close

2574
02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:43,280
Speaker 1: the window for a year or two after that, that's fine.

2575
02:09:43,520 --> 02:09:44,920
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are in that boat.

2576
02:09:45,240 --> 02:09:47,680
Speaker 1: I get you. Here's the way I do bring it up.

2577
02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:49,440
Speaker 1: I think over the last few weeks I brought it

2578
02:09:49,520 --> 02:09:52,160
Speaker 1: up more and more. Two reasons. Number one, the example

2579
02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:54,520
Speaker 1: of the Rams, as Andy said, that's you know, a

2580
02:09:54,600 --> 02:09:56,960
Speaker 1: team that thought they had it. They doubled down, got

2581
02:09:57,040 --> 02:10:00,160
Speaker 1: free agents, spent money, extended people, and all of a

2582
02:10:00,160 --> 02:10:02,120
Speaker 1: sudden that windows already closing. You don't want to be

2583
02:10:02,360 --> 02:10:06,400
Speaker 1: like that. And number two, I think it provides an urgency.

2584
02:10:06,480 --> 02:10:09,000
Speaker 1: And I think you know, you can't think, oh, we're building,

2585
02:10:09,080 --> 02:10:10,880
Speaker 1: we put a few more pieces in place and next

2586
02:10:10,960 --> 02:10:13,080
Speaker 1: year we'll really contend. No, you want to see him

2587
02:10:13,080 --> 02:10:15,440
Speaker 1: content for a championship this year right away. You want

2588
02:10:15,480 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 1: some urgency, don't you. When you be I'll agree with that. Yeah,

2589
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:20,200
Speaker 1: they need to get there, and they need to get

2590
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:22,280
Speaker 1: there fast. They need to stay good and they need

2591
02:10:22,320 --> 02:10:23,840
Speaker 1: to be and they need to do it from start

2592
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:26,440
Speaker 1: to finish. They need to start where they left off

2593
02:10:26,440 --> 02:10:27,920
Speaker 1: at the end of this last year, where they were

2594
02:10:27,960 --> 02:10:31,600
Speaker 1: headed of the playoffs, taking playoff teams to overtime and

2595
02:10:31,800 --> 02:10:33,560
Speaker 1: get better. And they need to do it in week

2596
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:35,920
Speaker 1: one this year. Last year, they get off to a

2597
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:38,200
Speaker 1: really nice start at the three and oh start, and

2598
02:10:38,400 --> 02:10:40,960
Speaker 1: they need to do that again this year. Different schedule,

2599
02:10:41,200 --> 02:10:44,400
Speaker 1: more difficult schedule, higher quality teams at least at this point.

2600
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:46,920
Speaker 1: They look that way from from their records last year,

2601
02:10:47,520 --> 02:10:50,360
Speaker 1: and they need to start right there again. They've got

2602
02:10:50,480 --> 02:10:53,520
Speaker 1: to keep continue, No question, there has to be some urgency, Murph,

2603
02:10:53,560 --> 02:10:55,920
Speaker 1: But I think this year, as opposed to other years,

2604
02:10:56,320 --> 02:10:58,440
Speaker 1: maybe last year a little bit, but even more so

2605
02:10:58,600 --> 02:11:02,640
Speaker 1: this year, X dictations are there where they haven't always been. Yeah,

2606
02:11:02,640 --> 02:11:04,880
Speaker 1: I agree with him. And one more quick thing, they

2607
02:11:04,960 --> 02:11:07,320
Speaker 1: got to maintain that urgency right through December. You know,

2608
02:11:07,440 --> 02:11:10,520
Speaker 1: they lost including the Houston playoff game and the meaningless

2609
02:11:10,560 --> 02:11:13,000
Speaker 1: game against the Jets. They lost their last three games

2610
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:15,120
Speaker 1: last year. Steven, that's no way to finish. You're no

2611
02:11:15,160 --> 02:11:18,640
Speaker 1: matter if you're contending for a championship or not. Yeah,

2612
02:11:19,760 --> 02:11:22,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think when you're really good, and some of

2613
02:11:22,280 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 1: the teams we've seen, some of the teams I was

2614
02:11:23,880 --> 02:11:25,080
Speaker 1: on way back in the day, and some of the

2615
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:29,120
Speaker 1: teams you see around at this time, you beat teams

2616
02:11:29,200 --> 02:11:31,520
Speaker 1: when you're not even playing well. You know, we always

2617
02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:33,760
Speaker 1: got the feeling the Bills won when they played well,

2618
02:11:33,920 --> 02:11:37,640
Speaker 1: they won, but when they didn't, they didn't and that's

2619
02:11:38,640 --> 02:11:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, they gotta win sometimes when they don't play

2620
02:11:40,960 --> 02:11:44,160
Speaker 1: their best. We haven't seen him do that yet. Shout
