24
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: can we talk about maybe just like a guy or

25
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: a situation, a storyline that's uh, we're yeah, I know,

26
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's literally crazy that it's here. Finally, can

27
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: I talk about a storyline? And this is one that

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: I haven't talked much about, but there's a guy that

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to watch. The name is Sean Kaiser. No, listen, seriously, though,

30
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: how often do we get a rookie quarterback that wins

31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: the position like we saw him just like methodically run

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: through the preseason and win the spot. And then they

33
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: shipped off brock Oswald. It was like, you know what,

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: we don't need you anymore. We're gonna release you. And

35
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: now he's playing first game of the season up against

36
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers, of all teams. It's not like he's

37
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: getting a simple test and he's gonna come in and

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: play against a team that was lack lesser. Let's let's

39
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: have your first out against the Jacks. No, no no, no,

40
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: this is big ben Levion, who's the freshest, not the

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: fresh running back, the freshest player in all of the

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: NFL aside from Aaron Donald. You got a b who's

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: fantastic putt on the defenside of the ball. He got Shazier,

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: who's a beast. James Harrison at some point's gonna be

45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: breathing down his neck. Oh, and then they picked up

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden, who might know every single weakness this rookie has.

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: So for me, I want to pay attention to see

48
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: what happens. It's as good as he was in a

49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: preseason k and I fell in love with him. Like

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: this dude is the man. It's a different ball game now,

51
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: Like everything is out the window. All that vanilla granola,

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: the black and white playbook that they were using in preseason,

53
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: that is out the dough Pittsburgh Steelers about the bring

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: that fire, that flame, twist in fronts and stunts up front.

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: Linebackers gonna be blitzing. They're gonna be seeing every single

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: look that he didn't see during the preseason in this

57
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: first game. It's gonna be a true test of obvious.

58
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: Take not to it, but what would it be like

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: if Deshaun answered the call. Oh my goodness, So that's

60
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: what I'm looking like, Like that's a different deal. Like, yeah,

61
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers win thirty four to nothing and welcome to

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the league, rookie. We've seen that, But what if they

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: have all their weapons and deshauka Because I feel like

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: Nate's been very into Deshaun Kaiser and I've been watching

65
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: it from a colleague and a friend. I feel like

66
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: you're invested because on the previous years you worked at

67
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: NFL Network, you would show up for total access, you

68
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: do a couple of days here there. But we just

69
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: had an entire offseason where we did the Combine five

70
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: days a week, the draft five days a week, and like,

71
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: we have investments in these rookies now because it wasn't

72
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: just we showed up in August and it's like, all right,

73
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: let's talk football, like as a show. We are as

74
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: invested in this rookie class as we were with any

75
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: group of guys because we saw him sit at the table,

76
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 1: so we grew up. We watch these guys go through

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: the process, and Deshaan Kaiser set throughout that Thursday on

78
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: Draft Day when all these other quarterbacks were taken yeah,

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like what if he's really good and

80
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: beats the Steelers. This is different too because it's Cleveland.

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: It's much This is not Carson Wentz and Philly. This

82
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: is not when you know Russell Wilson blew up in Seattle.

83
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: This is the factory of sadness in the jersey in

84
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: the window. And listen, Frankly, that Lebron empire maybe crumbling

85
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 1: right in front of Cleveland's face right now as we speak.

86
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Kyrie is gone. Lebron's most likely gone, yes, And like

87
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: they love the Caves and they love Lebron, but like

88
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: they want the Brons so bad they can taste it.

89
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: And now this is a big, strong rookie from Notre Dame.

90
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: It's really exciting, and it's really different from any other

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of rookie because they haven't had a player in

92
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Different for yeah, with the Browns, I

93
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: mean you would think about their quarterback situation. It's always

94
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: a revolving door and they're never really committing to one guy.

95
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: So the thing that's impressed Meat I think most about

96
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: Kaiser is clearly the impressions he's made on that front.

97
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: Officsite Hugh Jackson being like, no, we're gonna write or

98
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: die with this kid, good or bad, so he can

99
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: get molly wopped by the Steelers and still be the

100
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: guy the next week. And I think that that's something

101
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: that that fan base hasn't seen in a long time.

102
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: It's true, and it sets the standard in the tone

103
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: for what's gonna come in the following years. But for

104
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: me as a player, I love parody. And maybe this

105
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: is because I didn't play on the Dynasty, like I

106
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: didn't play on the Pats. If I played on the Pats,

107
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: I would think differently about what I want to each season.

108
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: I would want the winners to win. I would want

109
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: the Pets to remain relevant and dominate. But I played

110
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings when we were trying to find

111
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: ourselves in Seattle right after they got to the Super Bowl,

112
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: so we took a dip off because we didn't make

113
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: it back and then Detroit we were at the very

114
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: bottom of the league. So I like parody. I'm like,

115
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: maybe I want the underdog always. I always vote for

116
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: the underdogs, and I want change. I want somebody else

117
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl this year. I want the

118
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: initial four weeks of the season, this first quarter season

119
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: us to be talking about something different than the teams

120
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: that have been dominated in the last five years. That

121
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: is what makes this leak exciting because the conversation isn't

122
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: so normal. I want there to be something. It drops

123
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: our jawda. I love that look. I watched the Jacksonville

124
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars ones beat the Steelers in the playoffs. That was awesome.

125
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: It's unthinkable right now and considering the state of the Jags,

126
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: but the idea that the Carolina Panthers were in the

127
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is cool. I love the Jazz, I love

128
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I love the Packers, and they should be there.

129
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: But you need the variety Packers Cereal too. He needs

130
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: something different. The guy that I'm looking forward to seeing

131
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: is a guy I'm really worried about right now. And

132
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: it's Odell, Like that's that's my guy, that's my number

133
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: one most watchable player in the sport. And we hear

134
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: all these things about his riding a bike at practice,

135
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: and we don't know how he's gonna be out there

136
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: for dabs and if he is out there, is he

137
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: really Odell out there? I've developed, you know, we talk

138
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: about the rookies that we feel like we become like

139
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: almost like father Figures two almost. I've talked about Odell

140
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: so much over the past year, and I've said this before,

141
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: the Odell makes me feel old, like the things he does,

142
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: like I not just smh, I actually physically shake my head,

143
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: and the things that he does, and he feels like

144
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: my second son. I remember at one point on the show,

145
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: I loved you, and I was like, what is your

146
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 1: problem with this? I get like, if you get behind

147
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: like your it's because he's you. Maybe, so I think

148
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. And when he got her learned from you, dad,

149
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: I learned from watching you. When he gets hurt, when

150
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: he get hurt in the preseason and he takes that

151
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: hit and then he walks in the tunnel by himself

152
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: and he's down on the ground. I'm sitting. I'm like,

153
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: get up, get up, Come, people are watching people. You're

154
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: embarrassing yourself. Get off what I'm saying, Like, I feel

155
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: like he was my son. I taught you at home

156
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: not to do this, So now I'm that protective, like

157
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't want the season to start without Odell. He's

158
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: the number one most watchable guy. We might not have

159
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: Zeke in the opener as of Tuesday afternoon at least

160
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: when we're recording this, and no Odell at O'Dell like.

161
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: So I'm disappointed about that, because there's nothing better in

162
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: the whole sport than the Odell slanting go. It is

163
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: the number one most biggest bolt of lightning in football

164
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: needed out there. I don't know if we're getting it yet.

165
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: I've been so overwhelmed with the Texans stuff all week

166
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: that you know, I forgot that there's a football game

167
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: that they have to play. So I'm looking forward to

168
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: seeing what JJ Watt does on the field. We forget

169
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: that he missed fourteen weeks last season and he's backhealthy

170
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: and a good preseason, and Texans play the Jaguars. I

171
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be an emotional day in Houston. But

172
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: that defense is awesome. They're loaded, They've got maybe the

173
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: best front seven in the entire sport, and they're playing

174
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: with a city on their back. So I don't want

175
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: to be too dramatic about it. And you know, say

176
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: this is comparing it to the Saints and Katrina. I

177
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: don't know what you want to say about the storyline

178
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: as a whole, but from a football standpoint, JJ Watts

179
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: back on the field. Clowney had his big breakout here

180
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: last year. I want to see what they do to

181
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, who, from all the things we've seen this

182
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: summer has not looked good. They have not shown anything.

183
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: And this could be one of these great just like

184
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: like I don't want to say sigh of really, but

185
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: for three hours, Texans fans who lost a lot of

186
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: stuff and maybe lost a lot of valuables and lost

187
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in their life the last few weeks,

188
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: like go out and let's see the Texans just have

189
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: a party on Sunday. I think that could be very

190
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: cool for you know what the defense is going to

191
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: look like dominant. I'm so intrigued by what Tom Savage

192
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: is going to look like. I truly have no idea.

193
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: And to that point, kay, let me give you another

194
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: storyline that will be paying attention to. Let's say some names.

195
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: You tell me what they all have in common. Tom Savage,

196
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, Blake Bortles, Mike Glennon, Mike Glennon and I'll

197
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: even throw Tyrod Taylor in their quarterback. Nobody believes in quarterback.

198
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: Nobody believes in but it's quarterbacks that has a player

199
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 1: behind him that the fans wants to see. What do

200
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: they call it? A tight leash? Tight leash? And you

201
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: know there's a ton of teams right it's you know,

202
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: at this point, twenty seven teams that have their quarterback

203
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: and they're gonna write those guys out throughout the rest

204
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: of the year. I believe there's a handful of teams

205
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: where these teams are waiting for their first stream quarterback

206
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: to mess up. Think about it. Tom Savage goes out

207
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: there and blowe with you. Who listens. Okay, we all

208
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: we all fall in love with our start. It is

209
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: a complicated relationship. We all fall in love with our starters.

210
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: But you know, just like I know, as soon as

211
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: things go back, ye that that crowd as loyal as

212
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: they are going to be Chatton, Pat Mahomes and Houston,

213
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna be asking for Deshaun Watson in Chicago. They're

214
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: gonna be like where Strabisky at Glennon, Who cares? This

215
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: guy's not making it? It can happen, glennenthow's a pick

216
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: or two? It's a rap. He's not gonna last a

217
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: handful of games. Like Alex Smith, Mike come comparing Glennon

218
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: and Alex those are very too, very very drastic, It's true,

219
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: but they both got rookies behind them that we're all

220
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: excited to high picks, top fifteen picks. This is the

221
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: trouble with Kansas City and Peter, you brought this up

222
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: in the air. The Bears are probably gonna struggle. Okay,

223
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: we don't know what's gonnapp with Huston's five and thirteen

224
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: as a start. Yeah, and the Bears they're not set

225
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: up to be in the playoffs this year. Kansas City

226
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: is not gonna struggle. Like they're loaded. I don't care

227
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: if they lose the opener. They're a loaded team. They're

228
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: not gonna come out and go three and six. They're

229
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: just and equivocally they're not going to So Alex Smith

230
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: goes eleven and five. Let's say they win a playoff

231
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: game and said they don't think some time time games

232
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: in the next six ft and then the back next year.

233
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: And it's Alex Smith. He always wins. He gets in there.

234
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: So at what point are they like enough we're going

235
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: with the rookie. At some point they have to say enough.

236
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: And it's a very tricky thing to do because if

237
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: someone offers you eleven and five and a home playoff game,

238
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: you take it every time. And with the Kaepernick and

239
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: Alex Smith thing was Kaepernick had a preseason that year

240
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: I think it was two, the year that he ended

241
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: up starting. He had an eighty one yard run against

242
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: the Vikings, and I remember it, like yesterday, all the

243
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Niners fans are like, we need to start at Kaepernick already,

244
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: like it's time. He's fun to watch. He has his

245
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: rocket for an arm and he got the start when

246
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: Alex Smith went down with the concussion. Never lost that

247
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: job and went to the Super Bowl and that was

248
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: it for Alex Smith. They traded me. Obviously. It feels

249
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: very similar to this summer, like Mahomes was the guy

250
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 1: that was on all the highlights, yet Alex Smith was

251
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: playing okay, you know, eight for nine, nine for ten,

252
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: like you know it's Alex Smith. So I don't know

253
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: if it's Alex Smith going out with an injury, but

254
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: I have a fear that once you do pull the

255
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: plug on Alex Smith, whether it's injury or performance, I'm

256
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: not sure he gets that back. Once Mahomes goes in

257
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: the game, you know what, we certainly higher. We had

258
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: a the Simlar for CBS, right and with the show

259
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: on the Sundays, let us end the Boom and Kaur.

260
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: We're having this conversation. And I wanted to talk to

261
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: Phil and Boom because their quarterbacks, all right, they did

262
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 1: at a high level, played very well. You tell my

263
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: MVP super Bowls all that, and I wanted to get

264
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: the coach's perspective, coach Kaur, super Bowl coach, coach, what

265
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: do you feel about Alex Smith? So we're having this

266
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: roundtable conversation and the general consensus was, because I'm teeing

267
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: it up, basically saying, be careful what you ask for.

268
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: If you kick a guy out and he's taking you

269
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, you might not get that. And their

270
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: response was that might be true, but if you keep

271
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: the guy around and he's the one that has a

272
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: ceiling on him, because you're scared to take the risk

273
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: with the guy that might not have the ceiling on

274
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: your phone as a coach, and it was basically he

275
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: was saying, sometimes you need change, no matter how difficult

276
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: it may be. And even as he's saying this and

277
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about now, I still find it hard to

278
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: believe that you will walk away from a guy that

279
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: can take you to the playoffs. But we've seen this

280
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: time and time again with coaches and players. Sometimes they

281
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: need somebody to give him over the hump. And as

282
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: much as we love Alex Smith, I do feel like

283
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: people will be calling for Pat Mahomes if he doesn't

284
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: play well period. Okay, I'm looking at this week's Kim

285
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: keep the Quarterback Taco and I just feel like I

286
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: want him to be great, similarly to you love Odell,

287
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: Like every week I'm looking forward to Kim. Guys, he's

288
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: just been so quiet. We haven't heard from him. Cam

289
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: usually has something to say, and I want him to

290
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: be the vivacious, vibrant Cam that we know and love.

291
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know how long it's gonna take sleeping

292
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: dragon him. Yeah, I don't know how long it's gonna take,

293
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: or if it's gonna take any time at all to

294
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: adjust to what they're trying to do there with their

295
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: new picks. I don't know that he's been on the

296
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: field with them long enough. I wonder how he's gonna

297
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: look coming off of the injury. We've seen like little

298
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: glimpses I'm I want them to be great. So that's

299
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: I mean, they're going to San Francisco taking on a

300
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: team I think a lot of people are sleeping on.

301
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: Do I think their playoff team in the Bay. No,

302
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: but I do think they're They've got a little bite

303
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: to him. It's a young team, right, Yeah, So that's

304
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: the guy I'm looking at. I'm most looking forward to

305
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: seeing how he connects with those receivers. What does he

306
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: do with McCaffrey, What does he do with Curtis Samuel?

307
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: Is he gonna just take off and run is? Can

308
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: the Lion be tamed? I don't think and with Camra

309
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: and I don't want him to be He's already set

310
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: the standard. He's want an MVP award before, and he's

311
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: been to the the super Bowl. So like nine seven, it's like,

312
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: was that an anomaly season or was it we saw

313
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: last yearn or? Is he Dwight? How Peter you're working

314
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: that game? I imagine you will be in production meus

315
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: with him, Yes, Saturday, we'll be talking. What do your shoulder?

316
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: What's up with your shoulder? What was this offseason compared

317
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: to last offseason? And I want to know if the

318
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: addition of all that. I will ask him straight up

319
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: if McCaffrey and Samuel and Russell Shephard, like, if that's

320
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: a weight off his shoulders, if now you finally feel

321
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: like you have the weapons. But it's all about the

322
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: health for Kim. I don't think people realize this. How

323
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: hurd he was. His shoulder was busted last year. He's

324
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback that if you do that and you don't

325
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: ask about the beard, I will, I will, I will

326
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: start a viral something they ask about the beard. Cam's

327
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: Cam's an interesting one. You think he would be playful

328
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: with it. But you can go and ask Cam about

329
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: the beard and down for someone listening, tell us what

330
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: the beard is. If someone listening who doesn't know the beard,

331
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: Cam Newton's rocking a died beard, bleach blonde beard, this

332
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: officers and no one is asking about it, just the

333
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: tip and maybe someone has violage beard Like my hair

334
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: goes like Peter. It's technically it's it's a half blonde,

335
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: half black, like dips in the butterscotch dairy Queen. I

336
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: loved the look in the preseason. I feel like if

337
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: I ask him and k I understand what you're saying

338
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: and I want to ask. I want to ask out

339
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: my phone, who can use it on Good Morning Football?

340
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: But I also feel like I could go very wrong

341
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: rib style. Yeah, like I'm here for business. I mean, like,

342
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: don't you the day before the game? I feel like

343
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: he's more. He's matured though into I'm here for business,

344
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: the blond a double dragon headband, because he's still expressive,

345
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: but but I feel like there's definitely been that he's grown.

346
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: He's different and Peter, I'm not going to tell you

347
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: how to do your job, and I know you got

348
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: a ton of how I approach him about is if

349
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: I know these are kind of in your queue of questions,

350
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: but I want to know if he felt like at

351
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: one point he had to do too much and if

352
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: the pressure of being Cam got to him. And I

353
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: know he's been asked this question before and he said no.

354
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: But I feel like the way that the world started

355
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: to crumble of him a little bit like figuratively but

356
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: also literally how do you start all in part? So

357
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: I need to know that question. Then, to Kay's point,

358
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: I want to know if if he feels like he's

359
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: different than years past, like a handful of years ago.

360
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: I feel like he was here to entertain us, and

361
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: he embraced it. He was just like a showman. Everything

362
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: was his big theatrical acting. When he got a first down,

363
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: he's showing out touchdown celebration through the roof. And now

364
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: he's chill like almost like he's been Does he feel

365
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: it's been victu to you? Like? Is that the weird

366
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: word to use? Right? Not necessarily victim. I feel like

367
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: he's been hurt by the people. He entertained that season

368
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: ended terribly. The people outskewered him for six months after

369
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl with that press conference, and a lot

370
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: of it was his own doing. So I don't know

371
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: if he does have a victim's mentality on that. I

372
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: don't know. Last season, I feel like I'm only saying

373
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: that because Ron Rivera at the owner's meetings was so

374
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: strangely defensive about the scheduling and they went after him

375
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: too hard that week one. Why did we play them again?

376
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: It just didn't seem like a way that a coach

377
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: would talk about his player. And maybe they're protecting everything

378
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: on his shoulders. He's had his back all off season

379
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: and Ron quite frankly said the offensive line let him

380
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: down and they got rid of Michael Or. They got

381
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: rid of Mike Gremmers, they rebuilt the offensive line. I

382
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: think that Ron Rivera knows that their ticket to success

383
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: is healthy, happy Cam Newton, and I think he's right. Yeah.

384
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: I love totally random. I love looking at the Twitter

385
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: mentions and seeing Sonorus Moss. I love watching Jim FB

386
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: in the morning tags all of us. I'm on the

387
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: show Giants Wide Receiver. He's an actor now and is

388
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: an actor? Is that right? Yeah? Oh cool? We can

389
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: talk about come on the show. Did you have the

390
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: Little Giants quarterback tweet you? Yeah, Dreamy a French hose.

391
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: He hit me up. He was like, because I sent

392
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: out that tweet and it was basically all the Hollywood quarterbacks,

393
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: and he was like, there's only one quarterback that can

394
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: pull off the annexation of Puerto Rico, basically calling himself

395
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: out that hook. He bait the hook, and I said,

396
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: come on the show. I said, you're right, you know

397
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: this is what what I tweeted on the back. I said,

398
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: you know what, You're right. I'm gonna put you in

399
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: for three plays in wildcat formation on this final drive.

400
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: I still got Willie Beaman in. I'm gonna mix it

401
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: up and throw him in. And you know, I told

402
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: him to come on a shell, so we'll see if

403
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: he does. I wasn't gonna tell you, k but I

404
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: got ice box in the d MS too. No, you did,

405
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: be okay, I got a question which guy Wednesday? Devin

406
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: Swa or Milo Andrew Kegan and Cursemi. I think I

407
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: hated he. I hated his hair, I hated he's good looking.

408
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: I hated his face. I'm glad. I'm glad punched him

409
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: right in the face. Cuthbert, Okay, Kellypowski, Acy Slater or

410
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: Zach Moore. Slater basically has that Keating guy's hair, so

411
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: it's facto. Zach Morris thought too clean cut for Jack.

412
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: Morris is the goat, Kyle. Where do you he is? Brady, Zach,

413
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: he's a little Dennis Belding's got more personality Slater and Morris.

414
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: I like an older gentleman Belding or Poenie. I don't know.

415
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: From education is a little bit but different. Oh, I

416
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I'm sorry, mister Yle. You

420
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: Like anything I need to do, I don't. Everyone said

421
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: it's like a museum. It's cool. Do I get a tour?

422
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: How does that work? I should ask for a tour. Yeah,

423
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: it's awesome. I heard there's a game room. It's like

424
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: the Smith has a game Okay, so Steve Smith, Steve

425
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: Sable had his old office. He recently passed away. They

426
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: kept his office intact. But right outside of his office

427
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: is all these memorabilia. But it's not like here's the

428
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: cleats from this that's everywhere else. It's here's a nineteen

429
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,520

430
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: board game and it's like it's a deck of cards

431
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: with the nineteen sixty five Cardinals on. So it's all vintage,

432

Speaker 1: we're gearing up for our fall events we do like

456
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: a Monday night football watch party that originally was almost

457
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: just an appreciation party for our board members and now's

458
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: turn into a six figure year generator. So we have

459
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: that coming up this fall. We're gonna do it in

460
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: November and we bring in a band and it's it's

461
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: kind of growing and growing, but it's a ton of fun.

462
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: We do it on a Monday night, so some of

463
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: the guys can kick back and have a little fun

464
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: with some guys that are also charitable out in the community.

465
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: Here in Buffalo, Eric the Bills mafia is watching and

466
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of change this offseason and some

467
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: people are a little scared. What's going on. What's the

468
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: new brass doing. Give us the inside look. What's going

469
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: on in the Bills locker room now that McDermott's there

470
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: and you also have Brandon being running the front office.

471
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: What's the feeling inside that Buffalo locker room? Is a

472
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: head towards Week one, We're very confident in our direction.

473
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: Anytime there's new coaches, gems, there's gonna be a lot

474
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: of turnover, but our core has mainly stayed the same.

475
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: We got the same cast on defense with Jerry Hughes

476
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: and Kyle Williams and Marcel Darius and Lorenzo Alexander and

477
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: those guys. On offense, we returned Shady and Tyrod and

478
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: me Richie Cordy. There's a lot of continuity in our

479
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: core players, but there has been a lot of turn over.

480
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: But I've loved the guys they've brought in. These guys,

481
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: everybody that brought in have been hard workers, accountable guys

482
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: that I can really rely on the field. So from

483
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: a confidence standpoint, it's extremely hot for me right now.

484
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: I know we all want to see Tyrod week one

485
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: if he can't go because of the concussion situation, and

486
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: it's the rookie Nathan Peterman introduced the country. And Nathan Peterman,

487
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this kid out of pit. We might not

488
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: know about him as much as you do. What have

489
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: you learned from him in the first couple of months

490
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: being with him? You know, Nate's mature kid. He's he's

491
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: kind of wise beyond his years. He gets the ball

492
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: out fast. He does a lot of things better than

493
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: rookies I've been around in the past. You know, he

494
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: still needs time to grow. He's gonna He's gonna grow

495
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: into a good NFL quarterback, I'm sure. But he had

496
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: a great preseason. I'm excited to have Nate Peterman on

497
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: our team. We've hiped him for the whole preseason. We

498
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: love him. It's tough, Eric, because this is a time

499
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: of optimism and the season's about to start. Everyone's so excited.

500
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: But with some of the players that you guys got

501
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: rid of, there's been shatter and I know you've heard it,

502
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: this idea that the Bills are preparing for seasons to

503
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: come rather than this season. Having heard that, how do

504
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: you respond to that? You know, I think it's smart

505
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: for any organization to prepare for seasons to come. But

506
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think we still have so much left

507
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: here at Buffalo talent wise, that a tank isn't really

508
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: in our vocabulary. No one's thinking that we're focused. I'll

509
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: get into a one and oh. This week we played

510
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: the Jet at home and one of our goals win

511
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: all of our home games. So we're gearing up for

512
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: this week and we're not too concerned about all the

513
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: outside chatter. Throughout my career here, we've had a lot

514
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: of negative chatter and that we've had we've been close

515
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: to the the last few years, nine and seven to eight

516
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: and eight, seven and nine, so we're right on the

517
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: verge and we just look to take that next step

518
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: this year now. Eric, speaking of outside chatter, I remember

519
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: being in Detroit and I kept hearing about how long

520
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: has been since we made the playoffs, and I got

521
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: tired of hearing about it, But at the same time

522
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: I had to embrace it. I'm pretty sure you get

523
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: tired of hearing about the longest active playoff drought. So

524
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: how do you kind of embrace that? And then what

525
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: kind of optimism do you have? And what can you

526
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: share with the fans that are sitting and listening and

527
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: watching right now saying we know about the drought, we

528
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: know it's been as have been the playoffs. What can

529
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: you tell them, Yeah, this being my ninth year, I've

530
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: I've I've experienced about half of the playoff drout and

531
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: it's it's no fun. We uh, we feel that we

532
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: know our fans are desperate. We play in front of

533
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: Bill's mafia and it's it's become pretty well documented how

534
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: how intense they are, how much fun they have going

535
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: to games, and we're just looking to put a winning

536
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: product out there for him. And we've been working our

537
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: tails off and with this new regime, UM, I have

538
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence moving forward with our direction playoff

539
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: droughts and trades. Let's get to the real important stuff here.

540
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: You your teammate Richie Incognito and coach Rick Patino own

541
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: a horse together. There it is she I had imagine,

542
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: is Lady in Red? That is the name? What how

543
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: did this happen? Tell me the story of Lady Red.

544
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: Buddy of mine was with with a group that owned

545
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: night Quest a few years ago the Derby winner, and

546
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: Richie had come with us to Derby, so we end

547
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: up in the winner circle. Coach Patino knew them as well.

548
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: And uh a, coach Patino sells Richie like he sells

549
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: a recruit. You know, Richie was getting ready to write

550
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: a check through the uf OLD basketball program after meeting him.

551
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: But so, uh we we kind of joked that we

552
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: should all get a horse together. And I'm sitting in

553
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: training camp last preseason and I get a text about

554
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: a horse and I said, oh, I don't know, it

555
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: seems kind of expensive, and Richie said, let's do it.

556
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: So we did it, and uh so we've I've been out.

557
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: I've been out to watch her workout and she's she's

558
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: a pretty awesome specimen and hopefully she'll run in some

559
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: big races this spring in Kentucky. Great horse, great name.

560
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm been on lady in red um, Eric, we have

561
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: to ask you about this before you go, because this

562
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: goes back a few years. But it's one of my

563
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: favorite traditions. This thing that you do where fans will

564
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: send you anything an object in the mail, and you

565
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: will autograph it and then tweet it. You have gotten

566
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: not limits of these, but a jockstrap, an eviction notice,

567
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: and something called a wooden pickle was one way to

568
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: say it. And h there there it is. In fact, Eric,

569
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: is this still a thing? And can good morning football

570
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: viewers send you items to autographs? Sir? It's kind of

571
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: phased out. I forget how exactly I started a few

572
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: years ago. Well, we had a top of fun with it.

573
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: Guys would get excited to see what would show up

574
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: in my locker that got mailed in. But it could

575
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: become a thing again. Yeah, I think it all started

576
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: just kind of along the lines of, um, you know,

577
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not. I don't take myself too serious.

578
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: I'm not too big to sign autographs. I'll do it

579
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: for free. You can send whatever you want. But we

580
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: had some serious fun with that, and I forgot about

581
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: some of those items, this one over here. Any ideas

582
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: they said whatever you want, and he's already gotten the

583
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: wooden pickles working on it. If you're joining the show again,

584

Speaker 1: basically a former like Hitman, is working in a department
