1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Oh, teaser to down to down time. All right, welcome

2
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: to One Bills Live. There's no place I'd rather be

3
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: thinking that. The bills last preseason game was tonight mostly

4
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: football show right here on w g R fifty MSG

5
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. Well, you said that the guys were on

6
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: their way to Chicago. That's why they're not here Earlier

7
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: I listen. All I know is that the Bills are

8
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: playing their fourth and final preseason game. I think four

9
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: preseason games for the NFL is way too much. The

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: NHL does the same thing. They have too much. I

11
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: love the quarterback conversation. I think that that's always interesting

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: in any sport. It doesn't matter if it's goaltenders and

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: hockey pitchers in baseball, quarterbacks in foot ball. I think

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: they're all in a way kind of jumbled up together.

15
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: Very happy that you're here, Paul Hamilton. Thanks for coming

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: in on short notice to help us out. And how

17
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: you doing, man, how's the summer going? Oh it's been great.

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: It's winding down. It's kind of sad. I do a

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: lot of like I sometimes go to the Tuesday concerts

20
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: at our parton and the last time I walk through

21
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: the village for the summer. It's like, ah, the summer's ending,

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: and then the next few days my softball league ends.

23
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: And I hate summer ending. I just but it does.

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: But the great thing about summer ending is hockey starting

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: and football starting, and I do love that. I do

26
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: love that part of day. Well, the hockey part's over

27
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: for today. That's ten to noon and we are on

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: to noon to three and we've got a great show.

29
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Um Jabari Greer going to join us. Former Buffalo Bill

30
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints Super Bowl champion. I remember him when

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: he was playing here in Buffalo. Look forward to talking

32
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: with him. He's up working with TS and Ruben Brown.

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: If you don't know who Ruben Brown is, you're living

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: under a rock. Guy should be listen. I'm not necessarily

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: like them that into the you know, I'm the Trenches

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: football fan. Okay, I'm a very fair Weather football fan.

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: But I do know that my time in Buffalo as

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: a hockey player here and you hear about reputations of players,

39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: and you hear about the way they played and performed,

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: and there I guess that you know the way they're remembered.

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: Ruben Brown should be considered for the NFL Hall of

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Famer for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So I

43
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: look forward to talking to him and forget about what

44
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: a good football player he was. He was a class

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: a man. I mean, he was great in the community.

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: He was just a very good man to have representing

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: your team in Buffalo, and was a darn good football

48
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: player too. Nine time Pro Bowler, nine in a row.

49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: I believe he was known for throwing some of the

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: most amazing parties over in Hawaii from what I understand, Well,

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: I'll ask him about that. I listen, I considered a

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: true honor and pleasure to be able to call this

53
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: guy my friend. I mean, you know, we met Rob

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Ray introduced us years ago doing a cable TV show together,

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: and you know, former like two former athletes, different sports,

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: different backgrounds. He and I, you know, developed quite a friendship,

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's amazing. We always used to

58
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: sit around and just talk about the differences between the

59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: two sports, but yet the similarity, Like we we could

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: talk two different languages because Rubin didn't know a ton

61
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: about hockey, but he knew about the business of sports,

62
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: the mindset of a team, all of that stuff. So

63
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, that was it was always I always had

64
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: fun talking to him. What is it about for you athletes? Though?

65
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: That athletes you're gonna I'll get there, rob Ray, Ruben Brown, yourself,

66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: you play your careers here and then you stay here.

67
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: You don't go home. I mean you stay here, and

68
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: there are a lot with there are many examples of

69
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: we can talk about what is it about this place

70
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: that makes guys say, hey, you know, this is where

71
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: we want to make our homes. And maybe when they

72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: first were drafted or whatever, Buffalo really and then they

73
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: find out it's not Buffalo, they really enjoy it. What

74
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: is it first and foremost? I think it's the support

75
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: that you feel, um from everybody on the outside. Fans,

76
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: people take you in, your your neighbors. I mean you

77
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: move into a to a house, I mean your neighbors

78
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 1: are quick to introduce themselves and um, make you feel comfortable. Obviously,

79
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: the organizations speak for themselves, right, That's that's a given.

80
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: But I think the area. I mean, if you if

81
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: you play for the Bills, you you live in Orchard Park,

82
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: and it's a it's absolutely well. I shouldn't say you

83
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: live in Orchard Park, but I'd say majority the players

84
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: live in Orchard Parky sto Our Orchard. Yes, Southtown, it's beautiful.

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's a beautiful place to live. Um. You know,

86
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: I already mentioned the people. The cost of living is phenomenal.

87
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: But there's a there's a lot of opportunity here in Buffalo.

88
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean for for guys to get into to post

89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: career stuff if you want. Um. And I think that's

90
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: a that's a big reason too. I mean, you look

91
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: at a lot of guys that stuck around. I think

92
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of the either didn't even mention him,

93
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: old Man Rivers another guy, and you know, Craig's probably

94
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting. And we'll talk football in

95
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation. Who do you want to talk we're

96
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: talking about athlete. No, no, I know, I know, but

97
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: Bill specifically. But no, you're you know, River is probably

98
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: a great example of it because of all the players

99
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: that probably had the worst taste in his mouth about Buffalo.

100
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: And it wasn't the city, and it wasn't the people.

101
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: Had nothing to do with that. He just had to

102
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: do with playing against the team. And you know, I

103
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: just didn't want to come here. I remember him, never

104
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: wanted to come here when he found at San Jose.

105
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: He almost cried, or he may have cried. Well, I

106
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: heard him say that, and then I started and then

107
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: he showed kind of, you know, a little bit of

108
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: his true color, and I realized he's more of a

109
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: softy than he leads on. But but it's true. I

110
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: mean he didn't want to come here, and you know,

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: players don't want to come here sometimes, but they end

112
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: up staying here. So I think he's probably the prime

113
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: example of a guy that can explain, you know, the

114
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: area is beautiful. Uh definitely gets doesn't get the proper

115
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: kudos that it deserves. I think people, you know, bag

116
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: on Buffalo because of the weather basically, but I mean,

117
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: you're either tough enough to stick it out or you're not,

118
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: and that's that's that. So look at the summer, We've

119
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: had people sit there about the weather. And that was

120
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: one of the things when the NHL Draft came. It

121
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: was great for the city to have just media people,

122
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: professionals and athletes come in here in the summertime in

123
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: June and see the built up water front and see

124
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: what's going on in this city and what's happening. I

125
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: couldn't I can't begin to tell you how many great

126
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: comments I got from people. They were, you know, the

127
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: Thursday concert was down there, and a lot of the

128
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: people went to that, and they're like, this is crazy.

129
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: We never even knew because in hockey they're here in

130
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: the dead of winter. In football, they're here in the

131
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: fall and in the Debta winter, and they don't get

132
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: to see the city the way it is in the summertime.

133
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: And what a beautiful place that it is, even what

134
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: it's become in the last what five six years especially,

135
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's interesting. And you know, I wonder too,

136
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: like even a guy like Josh Allen, right, I mean,

137
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: you want to spend this into a quarterback conversation. I

138
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: didn't even say Jim Kelly, somebody who didn't want to

139
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: come here and then spend his life. I think that'd

140
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: be a great example of another guy I think, isn't

141
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: he probably Verman Thomas. I think Jim Kelly, though, is

142
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: probably the exactly what we're talking about, you know, the

143
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: guy that did not want to come here sign somewhere else.

144
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that he ever spoke poorly or badly

145
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: about Buffalo, but he just didn't want to come here

146
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: to play and then he ends up coming here and

147
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, you look at his run here in Buffalo.

148
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean he's had ups and downs, but I mean

149
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: there isn't anywhere else in the world he would rather live.

150
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: He was gonna move down south. It was building a

151
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: house and sold it. Said no, I'm not gonna do it.

152
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: He stayed in Buffalo. So I brought up Josh Allen.

153
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: And you know, you think, like a guy, a guy

154
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen could could have been drafted anywhere, right,

155
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: And you know, when you get drafted by Buffalo. I

156
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: don't know that he knows what Buffalo is all about

157
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: when he first gets drafted, But when he arrives here

158
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: and you hear the way he talks about meeting people,

159
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: going out in the community. I ran into him. I

160
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: didn't talk to him, but I saw him out at

161
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: a taco place. You know, back at the start of

162
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: training camp, when he was first in town. You could

163
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: see how he engaged with people, interacted, people went up

164
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: to him and talked to him. He's got to be

165
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: loving it. People are embracing him big time here. Who

166
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: are the three athletes that are they are bound to

167
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: be the faces of Buffalo coming up Josh Allen, Jack Eichel,

168
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: and Rasmus Dallen, all three of them really enjoy it here.

169
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Daleen has mentioned a couple of times, you know, coming

170
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: in for the combine and coming in for meetings and

171
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: things like that. That and the World Juniors Middle Stat's

172
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: another one that they really liked this. And I remember

173
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: Kneelander saying he was hoping he was going to be

174
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: drafted by Buffalo. Josh Allen as soon as he was drafted,

175
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: was excited that he was drafted by Buffalo, and and

176
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: and said so, and has shown that excitement anytime anybody

177
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: has spoken with him here. How much is that excitement too?

178
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Is the opportunity that he can get right to start

179
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: right away? I mean, he's knocking on the door, you know,

180
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: right now, isn't he. I mean, but these guys do

181
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: their homework. He does his homework. He talks to people

182
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: about Buffalo, knowing that the Bills are interested in him,

183
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: and there's a chance that, especially as the Bills start

184
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: moving up in the draft, that he could wind up

185
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. So sure, he does his homework. And I

186
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: think he liked what he heard from ownership to the area,

187
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: to the fans to how that stadium is on game

188
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: day and and the type of atmosphere that look at

189
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: Tequio Spikes. You know, he people he was here with

190
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: the Bengals in the last game of the year and

191
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: people are begging him come to Buffalo and free agency

192
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: he did, you know he was He was impressed by that.

193
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: He was impressed by the fans like really pleading with

194
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: him to come to Buffalo away. And when he became

195
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: a free agent. What should the Bills do with the

196
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: quarterback situation? Who should start? Call us eight oh three

Speaker 1: trout trout Lake five two seven seven. Okay, So what

207
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: do you think should happen. I have my own little

208
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: theory on the quarterback. I mean, I'm not really paid

209
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: to give my opinion on on the bills, but I'm

210
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: sitting yard, I'm sitting in the OBL shirt on You're

211
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: being big opinion. I wore this for today, this is

212
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: my moment in the sun, and I'm gonna say this.

213
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: I don't want Josh Allen to start. I don't care

214
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: if he goes out and dominates tomorrow night or whatever

215
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: the case may be. I don't want to see him start.

216
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with him as his ability.

217
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: It just goes back to what we talk about developing

218
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: young NHL players and maybe not necessarily the guys that

219
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: go first overall, like the Crosbies or the Dallines or

220
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: the guys that can step right in. But just let

221
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: him sit back and watch. And someone made the argument

222
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: not long ago about while he's not sitting behind the

223
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback. Yeah, but learning is learning, Knowledge

224
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: is knowledge, And you know, I mean Steve Tasker was

225
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: talking to Craig and I just last week. We were

226
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: asking him about, you know, the schedule coming up and

227
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and if the schedule is hard at

228
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: the start of the year. I don't know why you

229
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: feel the need to force this guy in. Maybe he

230
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: goes and dominates, but maybe the team struggles. Maybe the

231
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: offensive line, you know, lets him down. We're gonna talk

232
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: to Ruben Brown about that. The offensive line. They were

233
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: very hard. Yeah, they're very They were very hard on

234
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: themselves after that last after that third exhibition game. And

235
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: it's interesting right here it says Bill's quarterback competition. I

236
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: call it a competition. But then I sat there and

237
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: thought about it. I don't know if McDermott has ever

238
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: called it a quarterback competition. He has said they are

239
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: all getting opportunities. There is a plan. They are going

240
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: to follow the plan. The process, that's one of the

241
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: buzzwords that we all talk about, and there's there's a

242
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: process for Josh Allen. If it's a competition, in my opinion,

243
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: it should be over. I think from everything we've seen,

244
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: each quarterback is it a chance to play with the

245
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: ones and start, And if it's a competition, I think

246
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman has done the best with the number ones.

247
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: He started the first game. I believe he was nine

248
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: of ten in that game and they won it. In

249
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: completion was an interception. I think overall he has done

250
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: the best. He as somebody said to me that really

251
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: knows football, he has a plan when he goes back

252
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: to pass. He gets back in the pocket and he

253
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: gets rid of the football, and he has a plan

254
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: when he goes back there. Josh Allen can do things

255
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: that Nathan Peterman and AJ McCarron can't. He can throw

256
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: a heart out, he can get it there with velocity.

257
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: He can get it there in a hurry. He can

258
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: fit the ball into small places and once again get

259
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: it there in a hurry. But to me, I think

260
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: you have to make your decision after that third preseason game,

261
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: and maybe if you announce it to us, who cares?

262
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't think. But I think the players should know

263
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: now who the starters are. They should be in their

264
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: meetings preparing for the Baltimore Ravens knowing who's going to

265
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: be playing in a starting role and who the starting

266
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: quarterback is. And if they want to announce it, that's

267
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: their business. But I think it should be decided. I did,

268
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: and I think that if you're talking going into week one,

269
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: no right now, it should be decided. It should be

270
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: done and the players should know right now who the

271
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: starting quarterback is. Where they announced it to the to us,

272
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: I don't care, but I think McDermott and his staff

273
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: should have made a decision after that last preseason game,

274
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: after the third game. And so if it's if it's

275
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: if I'm in that room, if I'm in that room,

276
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm saying it's Peterman or or if it's not,

277
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: then it really wasn't a competition. But let's be careful again.

278
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: I could I could be wrong, but I just do

279
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: not remember McDermott ever calling it a competition. He always said,

280
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: there is there's a plan for what we are going

281
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: to do with our quarterbacks, and um, you know, there's

282
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: a process that we are going to follow. Each quarterback

283
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: is going to get x amount of reps. We're going

284
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: to start Josh Allen as the third quarter back. He's

285
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: going to get reps there, and then we're going to

286
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: work him in and get him some first team reps

287
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: as camp goes on. This was all predetermined and that's

288
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: the way they followed it. If Josh Allen turns out

289
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: to be the starting quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, then

290
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: I would say that really was not a competition. This

291
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: is what the plan was, to bring him along slowly

292
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: and bring him in. But and I'm not saying Josh

293
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: Allen should never start a game this year. I'm just

294
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: saying just on Week one against the Baltimore Ravens right now,

295
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: which should be Peterman's And that's not to say that

296
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen shouldn't be a starter, But I just think

297
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: as of now, the game seemed and he said it himself.

298
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm going by what he said after the game the

299
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: other night on Sunday night that he wasn't diagnosing the

300
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: defense fast enough. So he's not it's not computing quick

301
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: enough in his mind quite yet, which means he needs

302
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: some more practice time and needs some more time to

303
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: get ready. And don't forget that all happened against a

304
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: defense that didn't game plan against you. And if teams

305
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: get a chance to game plan against Josh Allen, I think,

306
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, he could be under immense pressure. And that's

307
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: pressure that I think he'll be fine with. I think

308
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: I've seen some weird good things from Josh Allen in

309
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: the preseason, and I didn't have any preconceived notions of

310
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: him because quite honestly, with my job, I don't have

311
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: time to watch college football. I'm tied up with hockey.

312
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: So I didn't really have any preconceived notions of Josh

313
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: Allen than what people were saying. So the first time

314
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: I get to see Josh Allen is when he's here,

315
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, for the OTAs and and for mini camp

316
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: and those types of things. In training camp and the

317
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: preseason games, I saw some really good things that I

318
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: liked about Josh Allen. You can tweet us. I'm at

319
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: beside Craig. He's at PEHM seven one seven of the

320
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: show is one Bills Live The Bills Monster tweets us.

321
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: I want Peterman to start the season as far as Thursday.

322
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: Give it to Alan to work verse players fighting for

323
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: roster spots to gain experience. Yeah, I've heard that when

324
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: mccarren should just play the whole game. No, I think

325
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: Allen needs that valuable experience to be out there and playing.

326
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: I think he needs to get out there and get

327
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: some time in that fourth preseason game, which I agree

328
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: with you is a waste of time. I think things

329
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: needed you. I always thought two preseason games in eighteen games,

330
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: although I don't think it will ever happen because I

331
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: don't think the players would ever agree to it. Yeah,

332
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't listen, I don't know, really don't. I understand

333
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: the revenue side of things, and they can make more money,

334
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: but the two extra games, I mean that, like those

335
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: two games that really means something where your number one's

336
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: are on the field for the whole time, that could

337
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: that could dictate your whole season. You know, That's kind

338
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: of what we're talking about right now with the preseason games.

339
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, why do you even need to have so many?

340
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Two sounds like plenty to me. Were

341
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: when the NHL we were playing nine nine exhibitions of

342
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Bears. They're hardly playing their starters

343
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: at all this preseason. That's kind of something new. That's

344
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: some new coaches. They're saying, you know what, we're not

345
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: going to do it the same way that it's always

346
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: been done. We're not going to risk our better players

347
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: getting injured in these games because we need them in

348
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: week one. Well, speaking and new, I mean I watch

349
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: hard knocks. That's nothing, that's not new information. But what

350
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: I learned by watching this year is I said to

351
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: one of the guys in the back, I said, how

352
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: come no one's been cut yet? They don't cut anybody

353
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: on TV. Well, I guess I just learned the other

354
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: day that they started they change the cut it down

355
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: after the last There would have been a cut in

356
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: the past. I think it's been two years. Somebody can

357
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: check me on that. In the past they were already

358
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: would have been a cut by now. I think down

359
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: to seventy if I'm not mistaken, somewhere in there, seventy

360
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: five seventy and then the second cut would be coming.

361
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: Now they just decided why play games? We let and

362
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: I think it's to keep all these players around so

363
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: you've got players you can use in the fourth preseason game,

364
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: which to me makes it more of a shamp. Well,

365
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I look at it in a number of

366
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: different ways, but one of the ways I saw it,

367
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: and I could be totally wrong, it's just you know,

368
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: you have other bodies to use and and you know

369
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: insert them in practice to take reps if a guy's tired,

370
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: or a guy's dinged up, or you need a guy

371
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: to fill a gap somewhere during the day. Because in

372
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: pro sports training camp, I remember training camp in the NHL,

373
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter where you are. You have you

374
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: have a body that goes down in one area, right,

375
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: So it's like, oh, we gotta shift this guy off

376
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: of this group one and move them into the game

377
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: at eleven o'clock. You know. So you wonder if you

378
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: have to take a guy from a certain position and

379
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: move them over because you might be short a guy.

380
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know the mindset behind it, but I

381
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: think it makes for a lot of confusion for the

382
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: coaching staff unless they already have they must have a

383
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: pretty good idea. Things change. We just talked about things

384
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: changing in preseason for football. Things have changed in preseason

385
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: for hockey. Remember when you used to show up, it

386
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: was scrimmaging as soon as you got there, and everybody

387
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: would just scrimmage. Now Houseley doesn't run scrimmages. You'll have

388
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: one on Sunday right before the Bills game, but that's

389
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: as soon as the players got there. Is you do

390
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: your testing, your physicals, and let's scrimmage. It's totally different now,

391
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: and I think coaches are using information that comes to them,

392
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: whether it's analytics or other things. There's just more information

393
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: available to coaches to set up their training camps differently,

394
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: and I think the Bills are no different. I think

395
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: the NFL is no different. And now you're getting coaches

396
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: that are coming in. They're saying, we don't need to

397
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: be running our starters out here and getting them hurt

398
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: for the season and screwing up our whole season putting

399
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: them out there in this third preseason game or this

400
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: fourth preseason game. I wanted to go back to the

401
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: quarterback thing also on the hard Knocks, but Cleveland is

402
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: in a situation where they have Tyrod Taylor and they

403
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: have Baker Mayfield their coach. There is absolutely not even

404
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: at all talking about Baker Mayfield taking any reps with

405
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: the number ones. It's all about Tyrod, all about Tyrod.

406
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: And then last year, you know you had Jared Goff

407
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: sap SAP behind a couple of years ago, case Keenum

408
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: in La. I mean to me, it just seems like

409
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: unless you're one of those superstar players that can step in,

410
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't know why the mindset of allowing these guys

411
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: to watch on the sidelines. I think it's I think

412
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: it's it's you're naive to think that that can't be

413
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: effective quarterbacks. Some quarterbacks can handle it and do it,

414
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: and some can't. I think if you're if you're not

415
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: processing the game quick enough yet, I just think you

416
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: could be hurting yourself and getting yourself injured if you're

417
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: thrown right out there and you're not that ready and

418
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: you're not understanding what you're looking at right off the

419
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: bat or the play. You're not processing the play call

420
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: coming into you. You process it too late. Eric would

421
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: tweeted out the other day that if you if you

422
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: get the if they gets called too late and you

423
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: get to the line of scrimmage, the quarterback doesn't have

424
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: a chance to process it and get people moved around

425
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: and those types of things. And then you saw what happens.

426
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: And that's because as a rookie QB, he gets to play,

427
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: but he has to Okay, we're doing this, and he

428
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: has to call the play. He's gonna call it a

429
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: little slower than Peterman who is a year experience under

430
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: his belt, or McCarron who's been around for a while. Now.

431
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna get that play called, they're gonna get up

432
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, and they're going to get

433
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: things going. Where the rookie quarterback has to process everything

434
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. I want I want Peterman to play

435
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: and start the season for selfish reasons. Of course, I

436
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: just loved his you know, the beatdown that he took

437
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: in his first game, and you know, fans got on him,

438
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: people got on him, media got on him. And then

439
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: he comes back yet anything, he got knocked out of

440
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: that snowball, but he was playing. Well. If you're Nathan Peterman, though,

441
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: you got the five interception game in one half and

442
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: get pulled. What's your second game? Yeah, but against Indianapolis

443
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: interception game though, if that one guy I don't even

444
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: know who it is makes that one catch, it's a

445
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: totally different point I'm trying to make is the adversity

446
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: that he has faced and the two games that he played.

447
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got snow up to his waist in

448
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: one game, yeah, and you know, and and they win

449
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: that game and he has a five interception, gets pulled

450
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: in another one. He has faced adversity and he's come

451
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: out the other side and he hasn't quit. And that

452
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: I think that's what I like about the guy is

453
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: obviously he's not going to quit and walk away. But

454
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: I just mean he just answers the questions. And here

455
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: he is back at training camp doing what he probably

456
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: trained all summer looking to do, and that was come

457
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: in and have a great training camp and hopefully earned

458
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: the starting job, which you know, I think some would

459
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: say that he has done, but others would disagree him.

460
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 1: Just want to see Josh Allen because he's the shiny

461
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: new toy, right, And that's unfair. I think that's that's

462
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: really unfair to just say, look seventh overall, pick shiny

463
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: new toy, get him in the lineup, because that long term,

464
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: that could be even worse for your organization. Jabari Greer

465
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: at twelve thirty, the Great Ruben Brown at one o'clock,

466
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: and Michael Fabiano, we're gonna talk a little, uh fantasy football?

467
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: Here are you fantasy football guy? Yeah? I actually brought

468
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: my fantasy football list so I can ask intelligent questions.

469
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: I actually have two leagues that I'm in. I heard

470
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: Marty Marty Buron had a fantasy draft. I guess his

471
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: team is predicted to go like one in fifteen or something.

472
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: We got to get Marty in our league. Why, well,

473
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: could you pick who who is your number one? I

474
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: haven't picked yet my draft. I have two drafts coming

475
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: up after Labor Day? So what are you on to

476
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: w GR league and another? Is it just another league

477
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: that I'm in some of some friends. You know what

478
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: pick you have? I have the fifth pick in both

479
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: fifth pick in both drafts. Right, so who you are,

480
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: which is very that usually will get you Antonio Brown.

481
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: There's four running backs that will go right away, and

482
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: Gurley and Bell and Johnson and Elliott and then the

483
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: next pick should be Antonio Brown. And I'm I'm the

484
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: type of person there are just so few running backs.

485
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: If you're the fifth pick and a snake draft and

486
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: you take a wide receiver there, you got to go

487
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: all the way to ten and ten has to come

488
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: back to you before you get a running back. Now,

489
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: you're going to get a pretty good running back, and

490
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: then it's got to go to one come back to you,

491
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna get a really bad running back

492
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be You're gonna have that hole in

493
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: your roster I think the whole season. So I even

494
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown should be the fourth or fifth pick, I

495
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: will not take him in either draft. Coming up next

512
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: Jabari played here in Buffalo. I remember seeing him run

516
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, thanks for having me. I no longer

517
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,239
Speaker 1: work for the SEC network, but it was a it

518
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: was a great time while I did well. I apologize.

519
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that's what I was told, So

520
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: I just you know, he's just going off what you know.

521
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: You gotta go by what you hear, right, isn't that

522
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: the way it works? You're right? Man, Google, Google makes

523
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: pools out of everybody. I would trust, I'd say, Google, Twitter,

524
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: all those things have the potential to make asses out

525
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: of everybody. So how are you, Jabari? What's uh? I mean?

526
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: Obviously post career going very well, but how how is

527
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: life after football? It's a blessing um after football? You know,

528
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: obviously there's an adjustment, you know, because ultimately you know

529
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: one of your best friends is no longer around. It's

530
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: something that football is something that I've been involved in

531
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: consistently for the past what twenty six years? I calculated him.

532
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: When once that's done, there is a grieving period, there

533
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: is a search for identity. But I think through the

534
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: grace of God and I was able to really just

535
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: really start to re invest into my family and into

536
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: my faith, and into who I am as a man,

537
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: and really just discover myself outside of the game. So

538
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: it's really been a great discovery period for just who

539
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: Jabari Greer is and what I stand for and what

540
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: I really want out of my life outside of the game.

541
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: What did you miss most when you first retired. I

542
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: think what's the most addictive, man, is the excitement and

543
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: the exhilaration. That's something that I mean as you as

544
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: you know as a hockey player. Man, once you get

545
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: out there, once you have the best seat in the house,

546
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: and you make a play, you score a goal or whatever,

547
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing that really can substitute that feeling that you

548
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: get from thousands of screaming fans being in that position.

549
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: That's something that you miss the most, you know, being

550
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field with the adrenaline, running

551
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: with your teammates, making plays. Those moments are something that

552
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: you can't replace, do you, Paul, You're supposed to say something.

553
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: I was just gonna ask him about what coming to

554
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. You signed with the Buffalo Bills out

555
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: of college? Oh yeah, what did you First of all,

556
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: did you have a chip on your shoulder because of

557
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: the draft? And second of all, what made it Buffalo?

558
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: What made you decide that's going to be the best

559
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: opportunity for me. Man, that's a great question. I not

560
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: necessarily had a chip on my shoulder. I think that

561
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: my whole career because I've always been a undersize quote

562
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: unquote player. You know, ever since I was in Little

563
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: league or in high school, always was one of the

564
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: smallest guys on the field. So you know, being undrafted

565
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: was nothing, was nothing that I had never experienced, or

566
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: being overlooked was something. Was was nothing that I never

567
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 1: experienced in my life before. I was pretty familiar with it.

568
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: But you were predicted to be a fourth or fifth

569
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: round pick. So I mean, was there disappointment after the drive?

570
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: Of course there was disappointment, but going into a team,

571
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, there was disappointment. But I always I never

572
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 1: had a doubt in my mind that I was going

573
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: to make an NFL roster. That was one thing. So

574
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't as if my NFL dreams were dashed. It

575
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 1: was the fact that I didn't get chosen by someone

576
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: who who ultimately told me that I was special, that

577
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: I was one of the selected few. It was just like, hey,

578
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm in a pool with everybody else. Now it's time

579
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: for me to show them what I what I have

580
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: so there was a little bit of disappointment, but it

581
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: was just business as usual. So I had a couple

582
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: of opportunities for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for the San

583
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers, and my agent tells me that

584
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: my college roommate and college best friend, my free safety

585
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: in college, Rashad Baker, had just signed with the Buffalo Bills,

586
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: And in my innocence, I thought, well, you know, we

587
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: had such a great career at Tennessee's my best friend,

588
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, we might as well keep the party going.

589
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, Okay, let's let's

590
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: let's go. And me and Rashad we called him Bake.

591
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: We still call him Bake. Me and Bake. We're going

592
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills. And I remember calling my uncle

593
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: and telling him that I picked Buffalo Bills out of

594
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: all these other teams, and he got choiet for a minute,

595
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: and next thing I know, on the phone, he said, whoa,

596
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 1: it's gonna be cold up there. Man, It's gonna be cold.

597
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: And that is the very first time that I ever

598
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: thought about the weather in Buffalo. I said, oh, yeah,

599
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: you're right, and I and and but but it was

600
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: probably the best decision. It was obviously the best decision

601
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: for me. Man I went there, had Jerry Gray, a

602
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: All Pro corner as my defensive coordinator, Nate Clemens, Troy

603
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: Vincent pitchon prelow. These guys set the foundation for how

604
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: professional for the ball is it was was played. I

605
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: can never be I can never be thankful enough or

606
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: allow the people that were there, Coach Malarkey and Coach

607
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: Gray that were there. They gave me the opportunity to

608
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: give them enough thanks for what they've done for my life. Jabara,

609
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: you just ask about the veterans. The Buffalo Bills have

610
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen coming in here, they have Phillips on the

611
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: defensive line. How important are guys like Kyle Williams and

612
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: the veteran guys going to be to them because you

613
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: just mentioned that they were everything to you in their development.

614
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 1: Are those guys going to be really important to them?

615
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander another one. Oh, it's going to be crucial

616
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: that the older guy, especially a guy like Kyle Williams

617
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: who's been there for a long time, who's seen regime changes,

618
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: who understands the Bill's way, that the younger players get

619
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: under their wings and learn what it means to play

620
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills football. Now you're establishing something that is actually

621
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: having some success lately. Buffalo, they're no longer going to

622
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: catch people by surprise. They are a playoff team and

623
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: they have these expectations how to play, how to play

624
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo way, and it's one way, and it's one

625
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: way and that way. It's when So these guys that

626
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: you just name, I mean, you have a Kyle Williams

627
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: and now you al should have just signed Star Low

628
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: to let Lay from the Carolina Panthers. These are guys

629
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: who have been in the NFL and have had success

630
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: for a very long a very long time. Lorenzo Alexander.

631
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: These are guys who know how to play the game.

632
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: Ramon Humber a good friend of mine, of guys that

633
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: I played with in in in New Orleans, like these

634
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,239
Speaker 1: are guys that know how to play the game. And

635
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, he seems he has all the intangibles. He

636
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: has a great arm, great presence in the pocket, and

637
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: as long as he comes in and understands the expectations

638
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: that are given, that are that that he is going

639
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: to have not only in his team but also on

640
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: the fan base. He'll be okay because he seems to

641
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: have every single thing that you look for in a

642
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. Joining us right now is Jabari Greer, former

643
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: nfler and more importantly Super Bowl champion. He's now an

644
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: NFL analyst for tsn UP in Canada. I ask you this,

645
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: So we're sitting here, the big competition going on with

646
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. I'm sure you've probably seen these over a

647
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: number of years, minus to Drew Breeziers when you were there,

648
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: that was a given right. But what would you be

649
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: doing if you were the coach or what would you

650
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: be thinking watching this team about Josh Allen starting, Peterman starting,

651
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: or McCarron. Well, I know a j McCarron is nursing

652
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: that collabone injury, So I mean, and he came in

653
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: with a lot of fans for right. He was in

654
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals organization just waiting for his opportunity, and

655
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: when he did get an opportunity, he looked really good.

656
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: AJ mccannon somebody who's coming in with a lot of

657
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: promise and if he heals, will and he cap and

658
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: he understands the offense and he can take command of

659
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: the offense. He'll give Josh Allen the needed the needed

660
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: space to be able to understand and adjust to the

661
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: NFL game. But if that's not so, then it's really

662
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: important that the offensive line for the Buffalo Bills really

663
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: gets solidified. And if Josh Allen is in there, then

664
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do their best to protect him

665
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: and give him the time that he needs to throw

666
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: the football. So Josh looks good, He looks as if

667
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: he has great pocket presents. It looks as if he

668
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: can adjust on the fly. So if I was a quarterback,

669
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: I would see exactly know. If I was a coach,

670
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: I would be looking at the way he sustained drives,

671
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: if he took unnecessary gambles, if he understood what it means,

672
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: what it means to get three and four and five

673
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: yards of pop, how powerful that actually is. You know,

674
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: that's something that a lot of young quarterbacks don't understand.

675
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, look at Tom Brady. He will go for

676
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: the deep ball, but he is quite content getting a

677
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: two of three or four yard game because he can

678
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: consistently do that over the sixteen seventeen played drive. And

679
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen can understand that and learn that he

680
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: could be a successful quarterback. Burry, how different is a

681
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: game plan against a rookie quarterback or a veteran quarterback. Well,

682
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: you have more things in a game plan that will

683
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: bait a rookie quarterback. Well, I guess it just depends

684
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: on the quarterback in question. Now, if we're talking about

685
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: a so in my day, okay, in my day, I'm

686
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: getting known exactly right. If we're talking about a young

687
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck somebody who comes in, or even Robert Griffin

688
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: the third when he came in as a rookie, this

689
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: guy came in in his first game, he was dynamic.

690
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: You know, you would think that you could you could

691
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: either pressure him or you could scramble, do a lot

692
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: of things to confuse him. But when he came in,

693
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: him and Andrew Luck as well, they came in on

694
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: and they were extremely advanced. They played like a veteran.

695
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: They had command on the offense. They understood what it

696
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: meant to look off. You know, those are different types

697
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: of young quarterbacks, people who command the offense at an

698
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: early or age and play beyond their years. Now you

699
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: get some other quarterbacks like Jared Goffish first year, although

700
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: he excelled a second year. His first year he was

701
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: a ticking time ball. I mean with somebody where you

702
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: could read his eyes, you could understand, you can anticipate

703
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: the throws, So you do more disguises for a young

704
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 1: guy like that. You do more disguises for somebody who

705
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: looks as if they are they are at the beginning

706
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: of a learning curve. But I seeing Josh Allen at

707
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the preseason, it really impresses me by

708
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: the fact that he can look off a receiver. I

709
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: mean he can look off a safety and pull him

710
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: five or six yards away from his intended target. He's

711
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: doing a great job, I mean operating every single receiver

712
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: that's on the field. He's his tidy end, his check down,

713
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 1: his first and second option. So he's done a great

714
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: job of staying agile in the pocket, keeping the ball moving,

715
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: and really confusing the defenses. I think that he's playing

716
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: beyond his years. Jabari Greer joining US former Buffalo Bill

717
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,640

Speaker 1: I'm Southern born, Southern brands. It's gonna take me a

723
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: little time. About two years. They say, after two years

724
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: they allow you, they grant you permission to use the

725
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: word a at the end of our resentence, I still

726
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 1: haven't given um y'all yet. So now, as a former

727
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: football player who's known football his whole life from the South,

728
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: have you become a hockey fan yet? Being up in

729
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: that great White North? You know, the truth is I

730
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: became a hockey fan in Buffalo. I wanted to. Actually,

731
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: I went. I went to see the Sabers play one

732
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: one game, man, and that was the first time that

733
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: I had ever been in the hockey rink. That was

734
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: the first time I've ever been to a hockey gang

735
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: and hockey hockey game. And it was electric. You know,

736
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: the way the fans were banging on the glass, the

737
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: way that they were collisioning on the ice, the speed

738
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: of the game. It wasn't something that I was expecting.

739
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, that was one of the most

740
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: fun times. You know, I had, Jabari, you were here

741
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: in Buffalo from oh four to oh eight. I mean,

742
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: those were great years for the Sabers. You know, we

743
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: had the run and oh five, oh six, h six,

744
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: oh seven, you know, but we had we had some Yeah,

745
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: you got to see some pretty decent hockey. I was

746
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: on that team. But that was just just throwing that

747
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: out there. But uh so, let me let me ask

748
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: you this at my last question for him, We really

749
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Um, the Rookie Night in the NFL.

750
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: Did you have to take part in the Rookie Night?

751
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: Of course? So what did you What did you have

752
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: to do? I'm a big hard knocks guy, so like

753
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: I se every year when they do the Rookie it's

754
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: one of my favorite episodes. So are we talking about

755
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: in terms of the team rookie get up there to

756
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: make fun of any of the veteran players, any of

757
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: the coaches, anybody doing anything crazy? Who were some rookies

758
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: from that year we had? We had a team We

759
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: had like a team showcase where we would get up

760
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: and we would either imitate a coach or we would

761
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: have some type of skits. So what we did as

762
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: a defensive back me and Lawrence Richardson, he was another

763
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: cornerback who did a great job of Lawrence was as funny.

764
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: He is as funny as anybody that was on that team.

765
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: And also Sean Williams, he was a running back. Shot

766
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: was the master of impersonation. What we did was we

767
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: impersonated our coach, Steve Zabo. Steve zabol was a defensive

768
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: back coach and he was also I believe he was

769
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: a linebackers coach for the University of Michigan. He was

770
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: an older gentleman and there was a bit of a

771
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: generational gap when it came to his coaching style, and

772
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: so he was easy targets right. So, and not only that,

773
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: but he you know, he wasn't the swiftest guy in

774
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: the locker room. So when we actually got a chance

775
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: out of all the out of all the yet and

776
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: all the scream and all the hard time that he

777
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: gave us through a training camp, well we get a

778
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: chance to honestly depict him. You went after we lit

779
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: him of July in there man, fireworks everywhere, and everybody

780
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: loved it. I looked at coach, I said, yeah, that's

781
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: for you, man. Jabari Greer, thank you so much for

782
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: your time today. On one Bill is live. We appreciate

783
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: your time and good luck with everything up there in Toronto.

784
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'll be blessed, all right, thank you so much.

785
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: Shabari Greer, former Buffalo Bill, New Orleans Saint and Super

786
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: Bowl champion, now doing NFL TV up for Ts and

787
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: in Toronto, Ontario. And yeah, great to hear from him,

788
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: because it's funny he said that he went he went

789
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: to one hockey game in his time here. He was

790
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: here from four to eight. I definitely went to some

791
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: Bills games, and every Sunday you watched the Bills games,

792
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: so I obviously you remember Jabari Greer, and then you

793
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: watch the Super Bowls, right, Hammy, So it's it's good

794
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 1: to see guys. At the beginning of the year, you'll

795
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 1: see a lot of Sabers down at Phil Housley wound

796
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: up at a Bills game. I know O'Reilly and Keel

797
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: were on the sideline for one of the Bills games.

798
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: Bailey's down there quite often so and I was talking

799
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: to Brandon Riley, as I told you, he was a

800
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: former hockey player. He went to some Saber games last year.

801
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: I remember Kent Hull had season tickets him and Will Wolford.

802
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: Those guys had season tickets to Saber games. They be

803
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: sitting there, they'd be hit most of the game. Glenn

804
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: Parker was another one that was there all the time

805
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: with season tickets. A lot of the Bills used to

806
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: come to cooing. Ever, coolest thing ever was after a

807
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: Sabers game, me and a couple of the boys, we

808
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: didn't have a game the next day, we hit up

809
00:42:54,760 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: a local establishment. Shocked you are obviously didn't nobody too well, Hey,

810
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: I can detect the sarcasm. And there he was in

811
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: a mesh back savers hat. It was like there was

812
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: a light just coming down from the top and it

813
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: was Jim Kelly standing there at the bar. And he

814
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: turned and I was just like, he's a great game.

815
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: And I was like, what you were in the game.

816
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I was at the game. It was unreal.

817
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: Didn't Ruben come to some Saber games too? Or No?

818
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: He might know you've done a show with him. I

819
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: didn't know Ruben before I started doing the show with

820
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: Razor and Ruben back in two thousand. I don't know

821
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: what year that was. I don't know. I couldn't even

822
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: tell you. But no, I didn't. But Ruben Brown, funny enough,

823
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: is coming up at one o'clock. We're gonna get him

824
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: on Skype see what he has to think about the

825
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: old line here. The old line in Buffalo was very

826
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: hard on themselves after the third Exhibition game. So we'll

827
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: see what Ruben has to say. Thank you to Jabari Greer.

828
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: We'll be right back on One Bills Live. I'm in

829
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: for Murph. I'm Andrew Peters. He's in for Tasker. He

830
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: is Paul Hamilton, and we'll be right back on w

831
00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: g R five fifty and MSG. Welcome back One Bill's

832
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: Live stick around one o'clock. Ruben Brown, the Great Ruben Brown,

833
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: the legendary Ruben Brown, the awesome Ruben Brown, will be

834
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: joining us here with Paul Hamilton and myself Andrew Peters

835
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live Embedded Airs tonight, episode three, eight o'clock.

836
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: You watch it on Facebook Watch or it's available on

837
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: YouTube afterward. You've seen a few of these couples. I

838
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: love them. I think it really gives a good inside

839
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: look and there are some things on there maybe you

840
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect to see from a thing that's you know,

841
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: comes out from the team. I think it does a

842
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: really good job as showing in the first one coach

843
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: McDermott and how he deals with and even in the

844
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: second one some of the things, the way he handles

845
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: his meetings, how he handles the business. If you don't

846
00:44:55,480 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: understand what culture means in professional sports, watch the first one.

847
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: I think stop right there. Culture is not a buzzword, Paul.

848
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: Do you think it matters if the players get along

849
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: and like each other? Do you think it matters if

850
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: If you watch one, I think you'll get an understanding

851
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: of what he is trying to teach as a culture.

852
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: Every coach uses it, and I get that it's a

853
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: buzzword for every single coach. It's only it only works

854
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: for certain coaches. I think it's a buzzword for a

855
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: lot of people outside, but inside it's it's an expectation

856
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: to fit into the culture of that team, and it

857
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: can't be measured by an analytic. If you've ever been

858
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: in it or involved with it, you understand it. If

859
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: you haven't, you don't. I went from playing for Buffalo

860
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: and I love my time here. There's no questions asked

861
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 1: about that. I had some great times and some tough times,

862
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: but and then I went to New Jersey and that

863
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: word culture really kind of came to the forefront for me.

864
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 1: I mean, we had a lot of players that knew

865
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,720
Speaker 1: how to fit into a culture on our team in Buffalo.

866
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 1: But I don't necessarily think we had the greatest culture.

867
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: But we had a good culture in there. But when

868
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: I went to Jersey, the culture was more than just

869
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 1: the players. It was something as simple as a haircut,

870
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: your beard, arriving on time. And I'm not saying being early,

871
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying being extra early. You know where you're supposed

872
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: to be at the rink at nine to fifteen. You

873
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: don't get there at nine ten, nine h five, year

874
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: there at eight forty five, you're there at eight thirty.

875
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: That's the expectation. That's the culture that's developed. Had I

876
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: played for New Jersey, I might not have even made

877
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: it through half a year in New Jersey if I

878
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: started there. But had I played five or six years

879
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: in New Jersey like I did Buffalo prior, I m

880
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: might have been able to play longer in the league,

881
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: just because you figure things out when they're jammed right

882
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: in front of you and you don't have a choice

883
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: but to fit in so culture I mean, and I

884
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: love those shows right behind the scenes. Look, you can

885
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: give me any press conference of a player standing at

886
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: a podium, any camera with a microphone in front of it,

887
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 1: of a guy asking questions, But there's nothing better than

888
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: seeing athletes the conversation they have while they're having lunch

889
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: in the cold tub warming up for practice. Just and

890
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: you're not your Coach McDermott is not putting on a

891
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: show for the cameras. I you're getting to see what

892
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: coach McDermott says to the team. He I don't even

893
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: think remembers the cameras they're there. So that's what I

894
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: like about it too. You're seeing the real thing, not

895
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: oh there's a camera on me, I better act like

896
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: hard guy or I better act like this. No, I

897
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: think you're seeing the true coach McDermott and how he

898
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: deals with his players and how he believes in what

899
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: they're doing. And that's what I've liked about the show

900
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: so far. All Right, our number two of one Bill's

901
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:51,680

Speaker 1: Bears at eight o'clock. It is still unclear who will

909
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback for the Bills. Plot thickens in

910
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland for Hard Knocks as Cleveland Browns linebacker Michael Kendricks

911

Speaker 1: has been charged with insider trading by federal officials this morning.

912
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: Kendricks says he accepts full responsibility for his actions, where

913
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 1: he allegedly made a profit of nearly one point two

914
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: million dollars from investments tied to insider trading four years ago.

915

Speaker 1: He has also said that he would repay all the

916
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: illegally funds. The Seahawks are extending wide receiver Tyler Lockett

917
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: to a three year, thirty one point eight million dollar

918
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 1: contract with a maximum value of thirty seven point eight

919
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: million and twenty million guaranteed. The Packers have traded quarterback

920
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: Brett Hunley to the Seahawks for twenty nineteen six round pick.

921
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: Hundley went three and six and nine starts last season

922
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: after starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke his collar bone. Last season,

923
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: he threw for eighteen hundred and thirty six yards nine touchdowns,

924
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: but had twelve interceptions. The Bengals signed two time All

925
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 1: Pro defensive tackle Geno Atkins and two time Pro Bowl

926
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: defensive end Carlos Dunlap two separate extensions yesterday. Atkins agreed

927
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: to a four year extension where sixty five point three million. Paul,

928
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: how do you? How do you accept that? Dunlap agreed

929
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: to a three year extension worth forty five million. With

930
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: Dunlap ranking tenth in the league in sacks and Atkins

931
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: ranked eighteenth, the two makeup one of the most consistent

932
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: pass duos of the decade. The Lions released veteran defensive

933
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: end Robert Airs just one day after signing him to

934
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: a one year contract. Airs wasn't seen at Lions practice yesterday,

935
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: and the reasoning behind the abrupt sign and release is unclear.

936
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: Airs is now back on the free agent market. That's

937
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: your sports update here for this hour. I'm Andrew Peters

938
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: back over with my man Polly Hamilton. We're live on

939
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: next gr Sports Radio five. Fifty. Yeah, but you know what,

940
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: that's a great thing. There's more news is going to

941
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: break in an hour, Handy, so that's gonna be altered.

942
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: There's a great song out there by a band I

943
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: know our next guest loves and that's Coldplay. And the

944
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: song goes and the truth is I miss you and

945
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: our next guest is Ruben Brown, and those lyrics couldn't

946
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: be anymore true. How are you, buddy? I'm doing fine,

947
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: but I'm confused. I thought this was football time. Why

948
00:50:55,840 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: is a hockey guy? Give it football stuff? Because they

949
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: really wanted Ruben Brown on this show today to talk

950
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 1: about the old line, and they said the only guy

951
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: out there that could be the worm on the hook

952
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: to land that whale would be this guy right here.

953
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: So guess what. It took one text and boom, Jakolaka,

954
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: we had this thing lined up. Oh, it's always good

955
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: to get on the phone and talk to my buddy Andrew.

956
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: Peter Paull Hamilton here, buddy. You know Polly too, Paul.

957
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: I know Paul, Paul's knowing him for a long time now, Paul,

958
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: don't you think guys big in the media business are

959
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: getting very nervous with the rise of our young Andrew Peters.

960
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: You know what, hey, time out, stop right there, stop

961
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: right there. I need to ask you a more important

962
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: question than what you're asking Paul Hamilton right now. What

963
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: kind of belt are you wearing? Yeah? I knew it

964
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: because here's the thing. I wanted you on Skype for

965
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: one reason, because I was gonna say, Ruby, stand up

966
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: and let me see that belt. I bet you it's

967
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: green and red. You know it. You know it? Oh man, Andrew.

968
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 1: You know I'd go nowhere without that gookie belt. And um, Paul,

969
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: that young Andrew. Peter's doing a great job. I'm happy,

970
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: you know, radio here and talk a little football with

971
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: you guys. How much how much, Ruben? How much did

972
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: you watch Andrew Peters play hockey? I saw a couple

973
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: of seconds, Lay saw my whole career. The rest of

974
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: the time he was fighting and looking angry and housing bluffing.

975
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: We call that bluffing if we do too. Ruben Brown

976
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: joining us on the line. Nine time Pro bowler Buffalo

977
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: Bill Legend playing the Super Bowl with the Chicago Bears. Eight.

978
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: So let's talk about this Rube like serious football talk

979
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: before we get to quarterbacks. How important is a fourth

980
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: preseason game in the NFL. AH they still needed due

981
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: to the fact that there's not much practice time anymore

982
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: where you can get a sense of what the players

983
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: can do. So the preseason game is definitely real live

984
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: action for the players, so you could tell and get

985
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: evaluations of what they would do under the lights. You know,

986
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: the great guys will be great, but sometimes you know,

987
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: it takes a game for a guy that will be

988
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: shine or for you to see what his value is.

989
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 1: So it'sn't necessary evil. Yeah, So you you don't seem

990
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: to think like there's always that common argument about and

991
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it holds true in any sport,

992
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: even hockey. Just too many exhibition games are there not

993
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: ways for teams and players to get value out of

994
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: maybe a more intense practice than a full contact game,

995
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: which could you know, Ruben, let's think about it. One

996
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: guy gets hurt and your whole season could be on

997
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: the line. Oh totally, And I agree with that, Andrew.

998
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: I think the times have changed to where you know,

999
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: today you can say, hey, pre five preseason games, that's

1000
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: fine because the players aren't having as much contact as

1001
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: they did back in the nineties or the early two

1002
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: thousands and the eight eighties and seventies so forth, So

1003
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: there was a lot of contact prior to even going

1004
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: the player game. So that's not needed to um that

1005
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: wasn't needed to have five preseason games even though they

1006
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: had them. Now that the contact is down I had,

1007
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,439
Speaker 1: the preseason games are more needed because that's the only

1008
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: time that some of the coaches can really evaluate them

1009
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: to their talent, because a lot of people don't understand.

1010
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: You could practice all day. I was not that it's

1011
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: not a good practice player at all. Was harder for

1012
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: the game day was something different. So those type of

1013
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: elements are in needed to evaluate your your talents and

1014
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 1: in one way and you to answer your question when

1015
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: you come to injuries and things like that, and what

1016
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 1: could be different that they could staff for the player.

1017
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: I think today now they need to have more scrimmages

1018
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: than they used to in the past. Like I think,

1019
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who the Bills went in scrimmage this year.

1020
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: Usually it's somebody close, even the stealers or the prowns

1021
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: or you know, somebody that they can easily make a

1022
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: day trip too. That's the way to help the whole issue.

1023
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: And no no more preseason games. I don't want to

1024
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: add anymore. I think they're useful now, but honestly, they

1025
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:42,240
Speaker 1: really only need three if they're scrimmaging each other. Ruben,

1026
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 1: When we take a look at the game against the

1027
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, the quarterbacks for sacks six times. As we

1028
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: looked at the offensive line, they start one way. In

1029
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: the second series, the center moves to left guard and

1030
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: there's a new center. In the third series, that center

1031
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,720
Speaker 1: who is at left guard now moves the right guard,

1032
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: and the old left guard comes back in. You have

1033
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: a different left tackling because of an injury, Dawkins is

1034
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: not in the lineup. How much does all that shuffling

1035
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: have to do with what we saw against the Cincinnati Bengals.

1036
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: The shuffman has everything to do with it. Everything in part.

1037
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: You know you've heard this over the years, how offensive

1038
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: line coaches are offensive coaches. I always talk about the

1039
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: importance of the continuity of the offensive mind. You don't

1040
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 1: hear that with any other position on the field, because

1041
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 1: it's a major factor. No matter how many great talented

1042
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: players you may have on the line, you need to

1043
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: have a complete line. Everyone has to get used to

1044
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: plan with each other in the positions that they're used

1045
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: to plan with them on a reservation. The build have

1046
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: not had a chance to build that continuity, and it's

1047
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: gonna be a struggle for them all year long. Look

1048
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: through history, let's get every offensive line. The best producing

1049
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: offensive mine are the ones that have more guys four

1050
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: maybe three to four guys that play the same position

1051
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: all the time. You can always count that they're gonna

1052
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: be in the lineup. But once you start adjusting guys

1053
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: and moving them around, that continuity is lost. Okay, So

1054
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: give me an example around the league of what that

1055
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: looks like. What team in the NFL, in your opinion,

1056
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: might have that continuity. Well, all right, just go to

1057
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: the probably the playoffs. Get I wouldn't say you got

1058
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 1: the Eagles, you guys guys, Well, I want to say

1059
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys is a very pouted offensive line. That group

1060
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: has been together for quite some time. I think you

1061
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: can go down to that Atlanta and find an offensive

1062
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: line down there that's been together, has won an Apple

1063
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: players on it um It's or is La Viti still that?

1064
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but those are the types of things

1065
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: Guys have been playing together in the same position for

1066
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: quite some time. And you know, usually the backup guys

1067
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: and big role guys home. Look at the backup left

1068
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: tackle they accepted for m Peters up there in Philadelphia,

1069
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, but the rest of the line pretty much

1070
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: they past. Where there are times in the Bengal game

1071
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: where maybe Josh Allen held on to the football too long.

1072
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: He talked about that after the game that he didn't

1073
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: dikenose or recognize fast enough and when there was a

1074
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: pocket he thought he needed to get rid of the

1075
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: ball fast enough. Where there are times that resulted in

1076
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: sacks that the offensive line, of course, gets blamed for

1077
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: where maybe the ball needed to come out quicker. You know,

1078
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: it's rare that anyone blames anyone but the offensive lirons

1079
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: when a quarterbasket gets sacked. Think that, you know, I

1080
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: think a young quarterback, definitely it's gonna be a little

1081
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: bit slower than I'm fettering quarterback or I mean, um,

1082
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: he's learning, he's developing. I'm sure each time he goes

1083
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: out he gets a little quicker. Um. That same thing

1084
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: happened to me when I was playing. From from the

1085
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: first day of practice to the end of training camp,

1086
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: I was fastly different, and then from the end of

1087
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: training camp to midway of the season, I'm fastly different.

1088
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: So he's gonna constantly pick up his pace, but it's

1089
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Unfortunately. I have to say that

1090
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: for those that when you know you got a young

1091
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: quarterback in there, you know what's gonna be in all day.

1092
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: So those the blame always kind of rolls down him

1093
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: could often com line for rights for themselves. They weren't

1094
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: getting beat, and they answered stout beat of the moment

1095
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: up there and funt up him, putting pressure on them

1096
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 1: um and in overall, after Hamlet at the op offer

1097
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: from not impressive, it's okay, it's not impressive, and it's

1098
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: not developed where we would like. One Bills Live Andrew

Speaker 1: that happens. No, no, no no, I don't want to present.

1109
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: I want to be there, That's all I said. Because yeah, yeah,

1110
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: why wouldn't. We're gonna take the show, take the show

1111
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: on the road. But you got to throw one of

1112
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: those legendary um Pro Bowl parties that you have been

1113
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: known to throw. I never was able to make it,

1114
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: but um, that's the only reason I ever went to

1115
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl because everybody wanted a good party. Hey,

1116
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: you know what, at least you're willing to admit it. River, Hey,

1117
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: that's it's good. It's the first step. Hey, question for you.

1118
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: So if everything you're saying based on the offensive line,

1119
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: obviously the quarterback situation, what are you doing? What's the

1120
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,439
Speaker 1: Ruban Brown doing for starting quarterback tomorrow and week one?

1121
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: What what do I do? I get some basic plays

1122
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: in for this guy and run the hell out him?

1123
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: Would you have Josh Allen as your starter? Uh? Who

1124
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: looks the best right now? I wouldn't want to be

1125
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: in that position. I wouldn't want to be in that

1126
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: position to make that call day one Josh Allen, rookie?

1127
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: It does no need to put him in right off

1128
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: the bat. Whoever, if whoever is the next guy up,

1129
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: it's the best qualified, put him in. If it's Josh,

1130
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: go with Josh. I mean, can you start sooner than

1131
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: you think that's interesting? I mean, how do you justify

1132
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: that too? Two people that just want to see him,

1133
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: you know, just both to right in the lineup. Everybody

1134
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: can't have everything they want. Marvel League Marv Lev used

1135
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: to say, my door is always open. I'm listening, but

1136
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean I'm gonna do what you say. I'm

1137
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna listen to you. I'm I'm gonna analyze what you say,

1138
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: giving you your form, but I'm gonna make the decision

1139
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. If Josh looks like

1140
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: the bast one to play, you have to play a

1141
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: bast player. He's just at the model in the professional ring.

1142
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, so if he's the best out of the group,

1143
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: play him. If he's not the best out of the

1144
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: group right now, there's no need to play him because

1145
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: he's a first year player and you're hoping that he's

1146
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna play many more games in years for you, all right,

1147
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Ruben Brown joining us on the show here tell us

1148
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: your let's go league wide here, give me your super

1149
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: Bowl prediction for this upcoming season. I know it's early,

1150
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: but we said before you know, the guys in the back,

1151
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: Jeff and j and JJ, we all said, like, it's

1152
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: a little early to get this for moving, but we

1153
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: don't know when you're gonna resurface on this show, so

1154
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 1: we so I think we need to make sure we

1155
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 1: get a quote out of you now. But look, I

1156
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: started this some years back and people got tired of

1157
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: it and I stopped doing it. My prediction every year,

1158
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: it's the Buffalo Bills versus the Chicago Bears every years.

1159
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: That's who I'm picking. Every year. I'm gonna pick Chicago

1160
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo in the super Bowl. You're guaranteed that tomorrow night.

1161
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: But it's only week four of the preseason, so let's

1162
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: not get too excited. Yeah, I mean, so what the

1163
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: point I'm making in we're not sure? You know? It

1164
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: feels great for a lot of the guests out there

1165
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: to get oh, the Patriots gonna win or that just

1166
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: that team and another Hey I was I grew up

1167
01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: in a time when Tampa Bay and New Orleans were

1168
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: the two most embarrassing teams you could ever be a

1169
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: fan of, and they both have Super Bowls. No one

1170
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: predicted it. So I'm saying each year, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bear,

1171
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be right one year. All right, I can't

1172
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: wait till you are right. You realize that wave. I

1173
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: went back and looked at in the NFL and the AFL,

1174
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: like the first five years where there was no Super Bowl. Right,

1175
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: the Bills would have played the Bears in one of

1176
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 1: those years, and yeah, yeah, yeah, And oddly enough, I

1177
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: know about that because I like football history. I'm a

1178
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: big figure. So um, maybe maybe maybe I could be running. No,

1179
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: maybe it was no as the Bills the Browns, brown

1180
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: It was the Bills against the Browns and the Bills

1181
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: against the Packers. That's what would have been Bills Packers

1182
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: And what was that Billy Shaw's team or yeah, yeah,

1183
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: and the Bears would have played the Chargers. I believe

1184
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. I love that old stuff. I

1185
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: love those old football players. I thought they were the

1186
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: toughest humans on the planet Earth. I'm still a huge

1187
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: fan of Joe Delamere and Philly Sharple. I grew very

1188
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: proud to be associated with as far as some of

1189
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: the players that come out of Buffalo. I really enjoy

1190
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm associated with those guys because the rugged,

1191
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: rugged individual. How much would you have loved to play

1192
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: of the offensive line when O. J. Simpson was running

1193
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: for two thousand yards and they only threw the ball

1194
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: maybe ten times a game and ran the ball almost

1195
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: every play I would have been in had then I

1196
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: would have been had then, I'm gonna tell you my philosophy.

1197
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: You can call Oland Cruz up. He'll tell you that,

1198
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: and he knows my number one play And he was like, Ruben,

1199
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: you can't just run that same playoffs, And I said, yes,

1200
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: it's called football. It's a war of attrition. I love running.

1201
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: Running is the key to winning. And if the Buffalo

1202
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: Bills planning on having a successful season, they should not

1203
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:12,479
Speaker 1: be concerned with the play of their young quarterback group.

1204
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean two a degree to agree. They gotta they

1205
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: gotta not turn the ball over, But it's really about

1206
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: running the football and stopping the run on defense. They

1207
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: do that, the Bills have a great chance of, you know,

1208
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: being in the hunt this year, you know, because they's

1209
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: an opening for them. They just gotta run the ball

1210
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,919
Speaker 1: enough to do it. Trust. They have run the ball

1211
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: pretty well in the preseason against the Bengals when their

1212
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: quarterback was getting sacked five times. I think in the

1213
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: first half they had two running backs that may have

1214
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 1: combined for seventy six yards in the first half. So

1215
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: I think they have run the ball pretty well in preseason.

1216
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna have to stick to, you know.

1217
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: And in those sack problems go away and the quarterbacks

1218
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: getting the ball out, Um, those problems go away. You

1219
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: know when you're constantly running the ball, when you're constantly

1220
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: wearing down your opponent. And that's a philosophy that comes

1221
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: from um, what's the chuck chuck no, And those guys

1222
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 1: believed in wearing their opponents down. It wasn't so much

1223
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: like this science that the Patriots has turned this game

1224
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: into Chuck Noland. Those guys basically said, we're gonna force

1225
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: you to have to tackle every play, and we're gonna

1226
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: wear you down until the fourth quarter shows up and

1227
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: your arms are gonna be sore and tired and you

1228
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: can't tackle anymore. Let's just gonna run over. And you

1229
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: think that mindset still is around today, No, it does

1230
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,959
Speaker 1: not exist. They all of these guys. The game's changed

1231
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: or is that just philosophy has changed? The philosophies have changed, Um,

1232
01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: the philosophies have changed to try to find the hole

1233
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: and you know, throw it there, opposed to, well, we

1234
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: got a bunch of big guys and went to stun

1235
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: lean on you until you get taxed. You know. I

1236
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: mean sometimes, you know, the straight line is the easiest

1237
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:17,799
Speaker 1: and quick, quickest way there, you know, throwing it around,

1238
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 1: going over, you know, throwing it in the air. Sometimes

1239
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 1: guys dropped the ball and you can get no yards,

1240
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm a big run guy, guys, you

1241
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: know that. That's all I ever talked about. I talked

1242
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: about running the ball every opportunity to be and and

1243
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: the run game is football if what establishes, you know,

1244
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: the tempo. So I could go on and on it, Ruben,

1245
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: Why why didn't you tell Andrew Peters about this in

1246
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,560
Speaker 1: his playing career? If Andrew would have gotten in the

1247
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 1: fight two fights every period, two fights in the first period,

1248
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 1: two fights in the second period. By the third period,

1249
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 1: you would have won both fights easily because you have

1250
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 1: worn your opponent down totally. And listen, Andrew and Honestly,

1251
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: he would have been a great football player because I

1252
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: know he could only skate in the straight line. Oh

1253
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: my god, coming coming from the guy who basically said

1254
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: grounding pound to you was basically all that meant was

1255
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: about you going into a barbecue restaurant. You walk in

1256
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: and you pound the food. That's it pounded like the

1257
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: straight line, and that's you know what, just because you've

1258
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 1: lost ninety pounds since your play doesn't mean you can

1259
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 1: come after everybody else. Man. You know, no, no, I

1260
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 1: don't do any picking down the people. I just try to,

1261
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, pass on good healthy eating, your diet regiments

1262
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: to all my friends. Yeah. Good, doing a great job yourself. Anyway,

1263
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: you see our skinny this guy is now he's got

1264
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: a body for TV. Okay, hockey buddies are wondering, what's

1265
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: up with this guy? He never looked like this. Yeah, fear,

1266
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: that's what it is. Hey, Aaron Rodgers, you here about

1267
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: his new contracts? Oh yeah, how quite a few of

1268
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 1: these guys got the big deals. Odell Beckham Junior like

1269
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:15,600
Speaker 1: talk about cashing in? Yeah that is big time? What

1270
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: look rightfully? So? The only triblem is um the top

1271
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: part its football and the profession is almost like a

1272
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: pairmid scheme. You know, there's a small percentage at the

1273
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: top that is making that money that you heard on

1274
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: the um Odell Beckham and um um the quarterback in

1275
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: Green day. Those are only two guys. There's thousands of

1276
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: other players that are making Um. I mean, I'm throwing

1277
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: my air quotes up for the rest of the world

1278
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: minimum ways, you know what I mean. Um, there's guys

1279
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: that are on the practice squad and stuff. They're making

1280
01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: good numbers for you know what you would consider one

1281
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:05,879
Speaker 1: year career. But you know, um, hopefully these guys will

1282
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 1: start to feed a good portion of that money to

1283
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: the lower level guys. And I personally would like to

1284
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: see the NFL rosters increase because injuries are a huge

1285
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: part of the game. The teams need to carry more players,

1286
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: which means maybe lesser than one but up top get

1287
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: a big chunk of money. But you got a larger

1288
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 1: team with a lot of guys getting paid close to

1289
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: the day. I know in college we had a hundred

1290
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: players on the team. That means somebody went down, we

1291
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 1: got two three more jus. So the NFL needs to

1292
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,919
Speaker 1: get on board. They need more players they want more games,

1293
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,679
Speaker 1: they want to make more money. You need more players,

1294
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: and you gotta pay. Ruben Brown joining one bills like

1295
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Paul Hamilton and Andrew Peters. Here on w GRMSG Ruby

1296
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 1: you you know that I'm a big Hard Knocks guy. Hey,

1297
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: you been watching The Hard Knocks at all? I am

1298
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna bange watch it. I've been hearing all the rumors

1299
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 1: and actually on a clip of job at the Landry

1300
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 1: they were picking making front of him. Yeah, I mean

1301
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: ten years ago, five years ago. The show is still

1302
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 1: the same. The teams are different, but the storylines are

1303
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: still pretty cool. Did you ever have to do crazy

1304
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: rookie stuff back when you play? This is the part

1305
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 1: that fascinates me the most because as Josh Allen's trying

1306
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: to compete for a quarterback job, he's also got to

1307
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: deal with the rookie crap that goes along with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.

1308
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 1: Now the rookie deal is only a big part of

1309
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: it is the veterans. If you've got good veterman, it's

1310
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a good memorable fun excurage or your personality

1311
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: can make it swing in the good lane for your

1312
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: or in the bad lane. You got a good personality

1313
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: in no matter joking and poking fun at you, you're

1314
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna get through it. It won't be a problem. But

1315
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: if you have a bad personality, then that's when everybody

1316
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: in the building's gonna jump on because they see an

1317
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 1: open wound. They're gonna get it. So tell me a story, Reubin,

1318
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: Tell me about a guy who was really sensitive. No,

1319
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. You know my better. My years, the

1320
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:22,839
Speaker 1: veterans were really cool to be. When I was a rookie,

1321
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: a couple of little show Chris Moore put shaving cream

1322
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: in my ear, that was one of them. I had

1323
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: to go answer a phone. It's rubinous a phone coffee.

1324
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 1: I walk around the corner, give me the phone, I

1325
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to put it up to my ear,

1326
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 1: and nobody's there. I walked back into the locker room

1327
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 1: and there nobody answers and everybody's laughing because I got

1328
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: shavored cream on my ear. All right, that's a simple

1329
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 1: little joke, no biggie. I laughed it off. And little

1330
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: things like that happened all the time. But if guys

1331
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: would have pain back and I see guys on the

1332
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,600
Speaker 1: team come back and they have the shaving cream on.

1333
01:13:57,760 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: They got a scowl on their face and the trying

1334
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: to y'all tough of me, and they can't laugh at themselves. Well,

1335
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 1: trust me, they're gonna find a way to constantly keep

1336
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: doing that over and over and over again to you.

1337
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 1: So it's a given take. If you got good guys,

1338
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 1: you know they know when to let up, and they

1339
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: know when a guy like Josh Allen needs to get

1340
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: to work. They're not gonna put him away from his work.

1341
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 1: They're not gonna keep him up late at night, so

1342
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 1: he's not prepared to go m go play. But I

1343
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: did do that to Devin Hester his rookie year. I

1344
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: kept him up all night Moones in Chicago. I poured

1345
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: water under his door into it to its blooded his room.

1346
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: He had to come out. Once he came out, I

1347
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 1: put him in the golf cart and I drove him

1348
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: around all night long. We didn't even go to sleep,

1349
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: and I was yelling and screaming at him and making

1350
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: him get out to push ups, kep him up all night.

1351
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: He was a great sport about it. At next after

1352
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:05,959
Speaker 1: that we were great. He was such a gentleman, a quiet,

1353
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: honest like you, sir. Everything I said to him to

1354
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:13,600
Speaker 1: do do push up that serve, mister Brown done. It

1355
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: was done, and oh you were. Oh, trust me, you're

1356
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: coming out of your room. I could knock on the door.

1357
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: If you try to hide, I'm coming in. We're getting that.

1358
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: We're getting you out of the room. Now. If you

1359
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: go to dorms, you know, everybody that's up stayed in

1360
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: a college dorm, those are some pretty serious locks. So

1361
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: it's very hard to knock those doors down. It has

1362
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,719
Speaker 1: been done, which is the talmont been possible. And then

1363
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:45,719
Speaker 1: the only other way to get someone out of the room.

1364
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 1: I learned this from Chris Moore too, is just keep

1365
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: pouring water under the floor. Said that old room is

1366
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 1: flooded and they're gonna come out eventually. And when they

1367
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: come out, that's when we lay in tune on them.

1368
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 1: We'll make a run and we'll makeum you know, get

1369
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: told the paper job. You know, fun stuff, that stuff

1370
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: that we hope it's fun. You know, some kids don't

1371
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:16,759
Speaker 1: like it. That's part of being initiated into an elite group.

1372

Speaker 1: You're gonna have the fantasy man on the show doing

1393
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 1: the fantasy football talk. Hammy's Hammy needs to go over

1394
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,560
Speaker 1: his two number five picks that he has yes in

1395
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: a snake draft. I have no idea what a snake

1396
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: draft means, but I imagine a bunch of people around

1397
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: there that are snakes, all drafting football players. You don't

1398
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: do a fantasy football There's not that I don't like it.

1399
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,759
Speaker 1: I was asked this question today, Are you into fantasy

1400
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: Somebody says they said, no, it's not that I'm not

1401
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 1: into fantasy football. I don't understand it. I don't understand

1402
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: it from the hockey side of things. I don't I

1403
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: don't really understand it. I don't, you know, like, I

1404
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: don't know that I would ever be able to stay

1405
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 1: on top of it. You know, the add kicks in,

1406
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, sixty seventy eighty times a day. You know, so,

1407
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: so you know it might be a bit of a struggle.

1408
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you he's not struggling. A couple of

1409
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: football players, Aaron Rodgers and Odell Beckham Junior. Did you

1410
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 1: see the picture of Odell Beckham Junior in the locker

1411
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 1: room the other day? You know, teammate of his. I

1412
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: don't know the player's names, but the teammate of his

1413
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:36,600
Speaker 1: walks over with a speaker and he's got the money, money, money, money,

1414
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: so him going, and there's Odell Beckham like dancing in

1415
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: the background after he signed his unbelievable contract by the way,

1416
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: and then Aaron Rodgers contract coming out today basically reports

1417
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: and it sounds like it's gonna be the highest or

1418
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: biggest contract in NFL history. But who makes more money?

1419
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 1: Him or his girlfriend? Who's his girlfriend? Danni ko Patrick?

1420
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 1: Oh that's what. She doesn't race anymore? Does she race?

1421
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: But with all the endorsements and everything she makes, that's

1422
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: a great question. Talk about a power couple, right, I

1423
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: mean honestly, so I have to imagine he might make

1424
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,640
Speaker 1: a few more bucks. We should look that up. But

1425
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:18,680
Speaker 1: either way, this guy's way overpaidause he's he broke his

1426
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 1: collar one last year, right, so yeah, he got hurt

1427
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: last year. I don't know. I mean, I'm not gonna

1428
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: sit here and say he's way overpaid. I think I'm

1429
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 1: just blown away by how much money football players make,

1430
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 1: Like I mean, hockey players. It's trendings. The owners are

1431
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: still making money hand over fist. Well, they're making they're

1432
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 1: paying these kinds of content tracks and they're still making

1433
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 1: money hand over fist. So we did the math, uh

1434
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 1: the other day. Like, so we're just talking about and

1435
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: you might even know the numbers, but I could probably

1436
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: do like rough estimates of what the numbers are. But

1437
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: what's the NFL salary cap? Now? One hundred and seventy million,

1438
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: eight million dollars, So I think it's up there. If

1439
01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 1: one of the guys in the back could message that

1440
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: to me, you're just saying in my ear, but I

1441
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 1: think it's like one hundred and eighty million bucks, one

1442
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy million. Well, TV contracts, I think I

1443
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 1: don't know what they bring in, but if the numbers billions, oh,

1444
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: it's billions, right, So I think it was. Last year's

1445
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 1: number was seven point eight billion, maybe just in TV revenue.

1446
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: And if you split that up over thirty two teams,

1447
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 1: it's it's a couple hundred million plus per year to

1448
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: each team. So I mean before they even sell a

1449
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: beer a ticket. I mean, that's why it's called the

1450
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 1: most exclusive club in the world is the NFL, because

1451
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 1: it's a license to print money. But I mean that's

1452
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,680
Speaker 1: the thing. It's like these these you can pay them

1453
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Really, I mean, within the salary cap,

1454
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: it's incredible, and then they build these stadiums like in

1455
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 1: Dallas that are like mausoleums. They're not even stadiums anymore. Well,

1456
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: we're talking entertainment, right, This is I think we're in

1457
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: the entertainment industry. For sure. It's a sport, but it's

1458
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 1: also it's entertainment, right, so you're looking at it. The

1459
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: revenues are just I mean, I might be in the

1460
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: minority when I'm perfectly happy in the place I'm sitting

1461
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,759
Speaker 1: in right now. I don't think Buffalo needs a new stadium.

1462
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: I think this is just fine. It's not crumbling down.

1463
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: They have done plenty of improvements in this stadium, which

1464
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 1: I think have been great improvements. A Probably the only

1465
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 1: negative you could say is, yeah, I know the corridors

1466
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: are skinny. There's not much you can do about that.

1467
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: But I don't think you need to build a new

1468
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 1: stadium because your corridors are skinny, and I think just

1469
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 1: keep doing improvements to it. People have this figured out

1470
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: down here in Orchard Park. They know how to get in,

1471
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: they know how to get out. I mean, game ends

1472
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: at four o'clock. By five thirty, there's not a soul here.

1473
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you can get right out of here. You can.

1474
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: You can drain seventy five eighty thousand people out of

1475
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 1: here in less than an hour and a half. I mean,

1476
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 1: I just the site lines are good for the stadium.

1477
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 1: I do too. I just I said, I know, maybe

1478
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm in a minority here, but I just do not

1479
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 1: think Buffalo needs a new stadium. But you know what, though,

1480
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It's not even it's not even Buffalo

1481
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 1: like there's just there's there's other places too. It's it's

1482
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: all over sports. I mean, you hear the conversation about this.

1483
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 1: This town wants a new arena. Pittsburgh's gonna leave if

1484
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 1: they don't get a new rank. You know, like all

1485
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 1: this stuff that we're gonna go to Kansas City, some

1486
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: some stadiums, some arenas, because you want the truth about

1487
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:19,559
Speaker 1: me is growing up. I wish they continued to renovate

1488
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 1: the odd the Buffalo add I just have that that

1489
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 1: that I like, the old nostalgic feelings, buildings, male leaf gardens. Uh,

1490
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: you know, the old saying they don't make it like

1491
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 1: they used to. It's the absolute It's true. In Boston,

1492
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean Boston Garden, all those old buildings I never

1493
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 1: got a chance to get there. I was able to

1494
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: get to the Old Odd. I got to the old

1495
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens. Um some of the old ranks

1496
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: get to the Forum Montreal. I didn't get to the Forum. No.

1497
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:50,720
Speaker 1: I I obviously got to Joe Louis to play in

1498
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 1: Joe Louis Arena, which I mean, I thought that was amazing.

1499
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 1: When you roll into a stadium with the history, I mean,

1500
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 1: it's you're not walking in and feeling the spirits and

1501
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: the powers of all the great players that once you know,

1502
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 1: blood on the ice, but but you all where they played,

1503
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: you appreciate, you know, the facility that they had, I

1504
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: mean in the building that they were in. But they're

1505
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: all the same now. There a lot of the buildings

1506
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 1: had different character to it that you had, you know,

1507
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: the square corners in Boston Garden, or how the fans

1508
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 1: were right on top of you here in Buffalo at

1509
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 1: the Odd. Each building had its own nuances that as

1510
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 1: a visiting team you wouldn't know by had to learn.

1511
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 1: And I think that was the charm of the whole thing.

1512
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 1: You just said something, Um, what what were you just saying?

1513
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: Go back backtrack, rewind buildings. Yeah, it was buildings. Your Yeah.

1514
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: I see you're talking about something I want to listen to,

1515
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 1: and I'm reading something that I that was relevant about

1516
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: two minutes ago. So I takes. I can't read the

1517
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: screen right now, so I don't. I don't get the

1518
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,519
Speaker 1: mesmerized by it. Oh I'm lost right now. I talk

1519
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: about stadiums arenas. This stadium is good. I don't think

1520
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: they need a new stadium here. No, we can move on.

1521
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm I like the stadium conversations for

1522
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of different reasons, but I like this. I

1523
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 1: like the stadium out here. I don't know, I don't

1524
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 1: even know where. It's not my job to figure it

1525
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: out where, but where a stadium fits in Buffalo, But

1526
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:19,639
Speaker 1: I mean I like the one out in Norkhard Park.

1527
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. But you know, you look around

1528
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys stadium that you brought up. How many

1529
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 1: people's that whole hundred and hundred ten thousand, And you

1530
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 1: think we think it's huge what we've got here. I

1531
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 1: think you could fit probably two or three of these

1532
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:39,679
Speaker 1: in this thing that they got in Dallas and Houston.

1533
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: They like roll the field in and out. You know,

1534
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: you've got you you grow grass field and then you

1535
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 1: can have it outside so you can grow it and

1536
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: then you roll it in. It's like, what do you

1537
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 1: really I'll tell you what I was thinking about that

1538
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 1: made me get lost. It was the home field home

1539
01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 1: ice advantage. You mentioned the corners, the little things that mattered.

1540
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,839
Speaker 1: I feel now with a lot of just pro sports

1541
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 1: stadiums in general, like the facilities, a lot of times

1542
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: you don't even really can tell, like there's no home

1543
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 1: ice advantage anymore. You're a visiting team, and the playoffs

1544
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 1: showed us that drown out the crowd, you know, focus

1545
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 1: on your task at hand, don't focus on the crowd meter,

1546
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 1: the noise and work around the last change and all

1547
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: of that stuff. And basically it's a neutral site game.

1548
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 1: Whereas back in the eighties nineties, even before all the

1549
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 1: new standard size rink and buildings came in, you had

1550
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 1: the Buffalo lod was known for their rink size right

1551
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: and the way the boards shook and how loud the

1552
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 1: building was. You had Maple Leaf Gardens who was known

1553
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 1: for that. They had the tall boards. I mean, they

1554
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 1: had a bunch of different home ice advantage, little little

1555
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: things that mattered, you know, And I feel like sports

1556
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: in general has lost that across the board. Teams fight

1557
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: so hard. Still football might be different because I mean,

1558
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: out in Seattle you have, like, you know, the whole

1559
01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: twelfth Man thing where it's like the loudest stadium in

1560
01:25:59,880 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: the league. And I will even here if this is

1561
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 1: a tough place for visiting teams to play. A lot

1562
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: of people say that, and especially in the wintertime when

1563
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 1: you're in a playoff game. But and that was a

1564
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 1: home field advantage and probably still would be, uh, you

1565
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 1: know if the Bills didn't you get a home playoff game.

1566
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, now in the teams fight so hard in

1567
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: the NHL to get home ice advantage, and it's as

1568
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 1: you said, it's not an advantage anymore. The road teams

1569
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 1: winning more than ever in the Stanley Cup playoffs last year,

1570
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,799
Speaker 1: and it just takes the nuances away from the buildings.

1571
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:35,799
Speaker 1: I got my calculator out. I'm not trying to ignore

1572
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 1: what you're saying to me, but I have the numbers

1573
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 1: for the TV contract last year for the end NFL

1574
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 1: was eight billion. So that goes to the thirty two owners, correct,

1575
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: So you divide that by thirty two two hundred and

1576
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: fifty million payroll on the for the NFL a salary

1577
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 1: cap is one hundred and seventy seven million. So right there,

1578
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: you're looking at what is a seventy three million bucks

1579
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 1: right in the old right before you pay a player, well,

1580
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: you have your expenses and stuff, but before you sell

1581
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,599
Speaker 1: a beer, sell a jersey, all that stuff, parking, it's

1582
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing. So now you know why if anyone,

1583
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: if anyone scratches their head and says, why do pro

1584
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 1: athletes make so much money? The sport generates the money.

1585
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: I've heard the arguments you know about pro athletes should

1586
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, make less than blah blah blah blah blah.

1587
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 1: But it's the business they're in, and it's that's what

1588
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,759
Speaker 1: the nature of the sport generates in terms of revenue.

1589
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 1: When we come back, we have more one bills live

1590
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: and coming up on the show at two o'clock, we

1591
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: are going to have Michael Fabiana. We're gonna talk a

1592
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 1: little fantasy football. Hammy's all lined up. I'm gonna get

1593
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 1: Marty Buron to text me his He's got a couple

1594
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 1: of teams going see how his team looks I heard

1595
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:43,639
Speaker 1: it looks brutal, But we'll see if we can get

1596
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 1: confirmation on that. Stick around more one Bills Live with

1597
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: Andrew Peters, Paul Hamilton right here w g R five

1598
01:27:49,400 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 1: fifty and MSG. I was sitting here during break Andrew

1599
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 1: I was I was thinking to myself, what if a

1600
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 1: guy like Todd Gurley, now he probably wouldn't play in

1601
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: this fourth preseason game. We've been talking about this since

1602
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 1: we've been here, and what if a guy like he

1603
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: goes down? That's the Rams season right there. Do you

1604
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 1: remember anything in your hockey career that in preseason that

1605
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,639
Speaker 1: basically blew up the season for the team, that happened

1606
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,759
Speaker 1: before you get to your first regular season game. Okay,

1607
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 1: so the one thing that comes to mind, I can't

1608
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 1: think of anything. There has to be something specific with

1609
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:48,599
Speaker 1: the Sabers. But well, how about Jack Eichel's ankle just

1610
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 1: in practice day before? But that's a fluke incident in practice.

1611
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: We're talking about potentially a nothing preseason game. The Carolina

1612
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: Hurricanes years ago lost Eric Stall broke his ankle against

1613
01:28:59,920 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 1: the Sabers. I can't remember what year it was, but

1614
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: I remember Jordan's Stall was on the team. Eric stall

1615
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: was limping out, and then the younger, the younger stall Um,

1616
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 1: who is just a prospect at the time. I think

1617
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: he still is a prospect. He was walking if they

1618
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 1: were all walking out together, and it was almost like

1619
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 1: they knew, you lose Eric Stall, your season could be over.

1620
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: And I remember if that, if I'm not mistaken, I'll

1621
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 1: go back and look at the break. Michael is a

1622
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 1: great example. Though it's a great example. But but the

1623
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 1: thing is is that you're not gonna say you're not

1624
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 1: going to cancel the practice the day before the season.

1625
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:35,120
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to downplay my own example. But that's

1626
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: that's that injury, you know where it was just a

1627
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:40,719
Speaker 1: fluke drill. I mean he it wasn't a contact drill.

1628
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:44,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't It wasn't a drill that that involved any

1629
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 1: kind of pressure. He slammed on the brakes, went the

1630
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,720
Speaker 1: other direction and caught a rout and boom, and that

1631
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 1: was I don't want to say that was the Sabers season,

1632
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,719
Speaker 1: but it definitely took most of their odds of having

1633
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 1: a successful season. You take the best player out in

1634
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 1: boom is over. Some teams can overcome it. Brady was

1635
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 1: suspended and the Patriots overcame it. Well, didn't Brady blow

1636
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:07,880
Speaker 1: out his knee in game one of a season and

1637
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 1: missed the holes And yeah, that's when Cousins went in

1638
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:14,680
Speaker 1: and I remember no Castle, Sorry Castle, Cousin. That was

1639
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,639
Speaker 1: what gave Brady his opportunity. When Bledsoe was the starting

1640
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 1: quarterback and got hurt in the first game, Brady came

1641
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 1: in and never gave it up. That's when Bledsoe became

1642
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill The next year, I believe I saw

1643
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's first game ever in Buffalo against the Bills.

1644
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:34,400
Speaker 1: It's a cold game, I can tell you that much,

1645
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 1: but I know that there was a one of the

1646
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 1: hardest hits I've ever seen in my entire life. I

1647
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:42,600
Speaker 1: can't remember who the player was, Smoke number twenty. I

1648
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:45,599
Speaker 1: think it was smoked somebody on the sideline guy's helmet.

1649
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:47,719
Speaker 1: You could hear it from our seats, Roe, Henry Jones.

1650
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look it up because I know that I've

1651
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 1: I've actually referenced that hit before and people remember it.

1652
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 1: And the score was like twelve six or twelve nine.

1653
01:30:56,600 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 1: It was all field goals. Nate Clements might have been

1654
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 1: Nate Clements. I couldn't tell you if it was or

1655
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:05,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't. All I know was like I could still

1656
01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 1: hear the hit and the crowd like you know when

1657
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 1: there's a big hit, when the crowd's like oh, like

1658
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 1: that's that's when you know the players. And that happens

1659
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 1: in both sports, yeah, hockey, and it's like who and

1660
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: then boom, everyone's quiet and you see the guy getting

1661
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 1: up holding his rib or or he stays down. I

1662
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,200
Speaker 1: don't know, but but Jordan's stall was the one that

1663
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 1: came to my mind. Eric Stall, Eric Stall, it was well,

1674
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:12,640
Speaker 1: Up one Bill's Live w GR five fifty msgo the

1675
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 1: Little Radio Network Sports Update. All right, if you haven't

1676
01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 1: heard the news, he's rich again. The Packers and two

1677
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:27,320
Speaker 1: time NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers have agreed to terms

1678
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 1: on a four year extension just one hundred and thirty

1679
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 1: four million in total value, concludes over one hundred million,

1680
01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 1: and guarantees. Rogers has two years left on his current

1681
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 1: contract worth just more than forty million. This deal makes

1682
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:45,680
Speaker 1: Rogers the highest paid player in the NFL. He has

1683
01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:48,320
Speaker 1: passed for thirty eight thousand, five hundred and two yards

1684
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 1: three hundred thirteen touchdowns with seventy eight interceptions for a

1685
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 1: one oh three point eight passer rating. That's a hell

1686
01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 1: of a fever. The Bills have their fourth and final

1687
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:01,599
Speaker 1: preseason game tomorrow night against the Bears at eight o'clock.

1688
01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 1: It is still unclear who will be the starting quarterback

1689
01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 1: for the Bills. The Cleveland Browns linebacker Michael Kendricks has

1690
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 1: been charged with insider trading by federal officials this morning.

1691
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:16,960
Speaker 1: Kendricks says he accepts full responsibility for his actions where

1692
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 1: he allegedly made a profit of nearly one point two

1693
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:22,840
Speaker 1: million dollars from the investment tied to insider trading four

1694
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 1: years ago. He has also said that he would repay

1695
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 1: all the illegally gained funds. These Seahawks have signed wide

1696
01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: receiver Tyler Lockett to a three year, thirty one point

1697
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 1: eight million dollar contract extension with the minimum value of

1698
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 1: thirty seven point eight and twenty million guaranteed. Lockett has

1699
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 1: totaled one hundred and thirty seven receptions for one eight

1700
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen yards in nine and nine touchdowns in

1701
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:51,360
Speaker 1: three seasons. Nine touchdowns in three seasons. He gets that

1702
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:54,760
Speaker 1: much money. The Packers of traded quarterback Brett Hunley to

1703
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: the Seahawks for the twenty nineteen six round pick. Hunley

1704
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:00,880
Speaker 1: went three for six and nine stars last season after

1705
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:04,479
Speaker 1: starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke his collar bone. Last season,

1706
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:06,599
Speaker 1: he threw for one thousand, eight hundred and thirty six

1707
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 1: yards nine touchdowns, but had twelve interceptions. That's your sports update,

1708
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:14,919
Speaker 1: your last one for today. Back to one bills Live myself.

1709
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 1: Paul Hamilton, w GR five fifty and MSG. Thank you

1710
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 1: Murph and Steve Tasker for allowing us this great opportunity

1711
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:24,800
Speaker 1: to host the show. Coming up next on the show

1712
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,960
Speaker 1: will be Michael Fabiano. He is with the NFL media

1713
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 1: and handles the Fantasy football department of things. I know, Hammy,

1714
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:33,760
Speaker 1: you're excited to have this because you get your draft

1715
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:35,519
Speaker 1: coming out. Hey, I have two drafts coming. I got

1716
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 1: a great question for him. I had a great question

1717
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 1: for him, and what's what's your favorite draft strategy for

1718
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:43,640
Speaker 1: this year? So I'm gonna ask him that for you.

1719
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:45,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do all the dirty work for you. See

1720
01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 1: if I can get some some inside information from him,

1721
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:50,840
Speaker 1: nothing that will cause the federal charges. Have all the

1722
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 1: guy guys that gr listening to so oh you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1723
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:56,599
Speaker 1: sure that all the guys in my draft are listening too.

1724
01:34:56,680 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 1: So so what we'll just asking about what to do

1725
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 1: with the number five? We want to ask him what

1726
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 1: to do one through four? I think he joins us

1727
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: on the line, Michael Fabiano, are you there, sir? I

1728
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 1: am here. How are you? Well? I'll tell you what.

1729
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people listening because they want

1730
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 1: their fantasies to come true, and you might hold the

1731
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:18,840
Speaker 1: golden ticket, sir. I try my best man. That's the goal.

1732
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,920
Speaker 1: Every year is to help people win their fantasy league championships.

1733
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 1: So another year in the books here and another one

1734
01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 1: coming up. A couple of things I need to clear up.

1735
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:28,479
Speaker 1: I've done some research. I have some people that do

1736
01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:30,679
Speaker 1: a lot of dirty work for me, and they found

1737
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 1: out that you have a Hartford Whaler's Cup. Yes I do,

1738
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 1: and I am looking at it holding it right now.

1739
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm from Connecticut originally, and admittedly not a huge hockey fan,

1740
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 1: but when the Whalers were in my home state, I

1741
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 1: would go to games at the mall all the time.

1742
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 1: Typically the Whalers would lose. But I feel like the

1743
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:55,519
Speaker 1: Whalers and like the Montreal Expos are the two teams

1744
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:58,559
Speaker 1: that are now extinct but that still sell the most

1745
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:02,680
Speaker 1: merchandise because their logos are just so damn cool. I couldn't.

1746
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:07,479
Speaker 1: We're playing that for you right now, Express Bonanza the

1747
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 1: Mighty Well, Yeah, I love it. The Carolina Hurricanes tearing

1748
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 1: a page of the old Whalers book. I mean we're

1749
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: talking football. Okay, so no, but you lived in Montclair,

1750
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:22,200
Speaker 1: no love for the Devils. I never lived in New Jersey. No,

1751
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm from Connecticut, so oh, this this is wrong. I'm Sorry,

1752
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 1: this said that you lived in Montclair. I did not.

1753
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,000
Speaker 1: There may be another Michael Fabiano who lived in Montclaire.

1754
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 1: There is another Michael Fabiano on Twitter and he is

1755
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 1: a famous opera singer. If you send him questions about

1756
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:41,640
Speaker 1: your famtasy football team, he won't help you, but he

1757
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 1: can help you be a better singer. I thought you

1758
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:46,120
Speaker 1: were the opera singer. That's who I thought you were.

1759
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 1: That's who I thought we were having on our show today.

1760
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 1: I actually thought that you were Michael Fabiano, the opera singer.

1761
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 1: I'm like opera singer and fifty football guy. I'm looking

1762
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 1: at this right now. You're a hell of a singer. Man. Wait,

1763
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 1: you got some great pipes on you. So what's going on?

1764
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,760
Speaker 1: So this is basically the sweet spot right now. You've

1765
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,519
Speaker 1: got next week we're starting for real our with our

1766
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:16,120
Speaker 1: big opener on Thursday night, and so we're seeing a

1767
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:18,720
Speaker 1: huge influx of people drafting right now on NFL dot

1768
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:20,680
Speaker 1: com and all over the country. No matter what sort

1769
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:24,000
Speaker 1: of leagues you're playing in, whether it's redrafts, whether it's DFS,

1770
01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:27,880
Speaker 1: whether it's high stakes, whether it's best Ball, it's really

1771
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:31,479
Speaker 1: great to see what Fantasy football has become because I've

1772
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 1: been doing this for about twenty years now, and there's

1773
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:38,639
Speaker 1: so many different styles of fantasy football leagues that are

1774
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:41,559
Speaker 1: around at this point. Of course, DFS has become huge

1775
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:45,560
Speaker 1: over the last few seasons, but you're really seeing a

1776
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:48,280
Speaker 1: move back to the running backs at the top of

1777
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 1: the drafts. And I couldn't love this more because I've

1778
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,439
Speaker 1: been doing this for a long time and I've always

1779
01:37:53,479 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 1: had a soft spot for running backs because back in

1780
01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 1: the day when you had Barry Standards and Emmett Smith

1781
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,840
Speaker 1: and all these stuff, it's Ladanian Thomas and Marshall Fock.

1782
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:04,439
Speaker 1: Everyone knew the running backs are coming off the board first,

1783
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:06,559
Speaker 1: and we've gotten back to that now. We've got a

1784
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of really good young backs in the league. In fact,

1785
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:11,559
Speaker 1: if you're in a ten team league, I would say

1786
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:14,559
Speaker 1: minimum minimum, they'll be seven running backs coming off the board,

1787
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 1: and all of them will be twenty six years old

1788
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:21,400
Speaker 1: or younger. And the oldest guy on that list is

1789
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 1: David Johnson, and he could end up being a top

1790
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 1: three pick in a lot of fantasy leagues. So if

1791
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 1: you want to get that stud running back, you're gonna

1792
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:31,639
Speaker 1: have to take at least one in your first two picks,

1793
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:34,200
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be instances where people will actually go

1794
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 1: back to back running backs because the position is very

1795
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:40,479
Speaker 1: top heavy. Michael, I think I have to. I'm just

1796
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 1: gonna go from personal. I'm in two drafts and I'm

1797
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 1: number five pick in both. Okay, and everything tells me

1798
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,479
Speaker 1: that Bell, Girley, Johnson, and Elliot are gone, and then

1799
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to take Antonio Brown. And I say to myself,

1800
01:38:53,640 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 1: I can't take Antonio Brown. I have to take either

1801
01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 1: Barkley or Chimara because if I wait at five and

1802
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,160
Speaker 1: it goes to ten and snakes back to me, I'm

1803
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 1: going to get a pretty good running back. But then

1804
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 1: when it comes back to me again, I'm going to

1805
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:10,679
Speaker 1: have a hole in my number two running back? Am

1806
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:13,519
Speaker 1: I thinking the right way here? To be quite honest

1807
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:16,160
Speaker 1: with you, I would be fine taking Antonio Brown at

1808
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:20,439
Speaker 1: number five. In fact, I've done a million mock drafts

1809
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,840
Speaker 1: and some other drafts where Brown has been the guy

1810
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 1: that I ended up with from five all the way

1811
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:29,360
Speaker 1: down to eight. Believe it or not. At that point

1812
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 1: you're locked into taking a running back in the second round.

1813
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 1: But when you do end up getting Antonio Brown, I

1814
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 1: get it. That's going to make it a little bit

1815
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 1: more difficult to secure a really good RB two. But

1816
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:44,479
Speaker 1: as top heavy as the position is, there's a lot

1817
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 1: of talent overall at the running back position this season.

1818
01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:49,880
Speaker 1: So if you hit on the right player somewhere in

1819
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:52,720
Speaker 1: the middle rounds, I think you're okay. If you end

1820
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 1: up taking a B in the first round, maybe in

1821
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:57,880
Speaker 1: the second round you end up with a player, for example,

1822
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:02,280
Speaker 1: maybe a DeVonta Free, I think you're fine there. Christian

1823
01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is another player that you can end up with,

1824
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 1: And in the third round you may end up with

1825
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:07,880
Speaker 1: a Joe Mixon, or you may end up with an

1826
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: Alex Collins or Jordan Howard. So I think you're okay there.

1827
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown basically has his own tier a wide receiver,

1828
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:18,560
Speaker 1: so by taking him, you are getting the head and

1829
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:22,439
Speaker 1: shoulders best player at his position, and in a PPR league,

1830
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 1: that's going to help you win a lot of games.

1831
01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:29,360
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't stray from taking a B. Now, if

1832
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:31,920
Speaker 1: you really want to go running back, I wouldn't argue

1833
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:35,120
Speaker 1: with Barkley, I wouldn't argue with Kamara. I have no

1834
01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 1: problem with that because I'm a running backs kind of guy.

1835
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 1: But ab is that one player after the first four

1836
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:44,960
Speaker 1: running backs are off the board that really make you think, Man,

1837
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:48,640
Speaker 1: I think I gotta go wide receiver. Here Michael Fabiano

1838
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 1: joining us. We're talking a little fantasy football here on

1839
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:54,679
Speaker 1: one Bills Live and Paul. He's gotten number five pick,

1840
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 1: he's getting the advice, he's got the snake drafts going.

1841
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:00,320
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this, obviously, if we're talking fantasy

1842
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 1: football and you're drafting these players they're superstar players. Does

1843
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 1: preseason play into account their rankings going into the year

1844
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:09,600
Speaker 1: or is it just based off last season or hype? No.

1845
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's a little bit of all three. But

1846
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:16,320
Speaker 1: the preseason matters to a degree. Given an example, when

1847
01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:18,880
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Ronald Jones, we all thought

1848
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:21,080
Speaker 1: he was going to be the starter. Who's been better

1849
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:23,120
Speaker 1: in the preseason, Peyton Barber, Who's going to be the

1850
01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:26,439
Speaker 1: starter in a week one? Payton Barber. Suddenly he's moving up.

1851
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:28,599
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is moving down. I was in a draft

1852
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:31,360
Speaker 1: last night. He went off the board in the eleventh round.

1853
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,800
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones. And if you drafted, say a month ago,

1854
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:36,559
Speaker 1: I don't know why it would, but he would have

1855
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:40,519
Speaker 1: went much higher. Same situation in Seattle. They draft were

1856
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:42,640
Speaker 1: Shot Painting in the first round. Everyone thinks he's going

1857
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:44,640
Speaker 1: to be the guy featured back, no doubt about it.

1858
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 1: Guess what, Chris Carson's looked good in the preseason. He

1859
01:41:47,400 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 1: projects to be the number one guy. Were shot Painty

1860
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:53,320
Speaker 1: gets hurt. So now they're being drafted closely. But there

1861
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:57,000
Speaker 1: was a huge gap between the two back a month ago,

1862
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:00,520
Speaker 1: and now that's really closed. Mark, he's goodwin in Sam Francisco,

1863
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 1: looked really good in the preseason, got a great rapport

1864
01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo. He was a league winner in the

1865
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 1: second half of last season. He's now being drafted ahead

1866
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 1: of Pierre Garstone. It's those players that we're sort of

1867
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:16,240
Speaker 1: trying to project their roles. And there's a lot of

1868
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 1: backfields like Green Bay, in Indianapolis and Tampa, as I

1869
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:22,640
Speaker 1: mentioned in Denver, where you can watch the preseason and

1870
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 1: sort of potentially get a little bit of a window

1871
01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:27,439
Speaker 1: into what's going to happen in the regular season. So

1872
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:30,599
Speaker 1: it certainly matters. But for example, in the case of

1873
01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 1: a Aaron Rodgers or even a Levion Bella who hasn't

1874
01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 1: done anything in the preseason because he's holding out. Very

1875
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 1: few things outside of a major injury are going to

1876
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 1: affect their value. It's the players that were projecting roles

1877
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 1: for which we don't know going into the preseason, where

1878
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 1: good or bad performances in the preseason could really move

1879
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: a guy up or down depending on what he's doing.

1880
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:56,679
Speaker 1: We're talking fantasy drafts here on one Bills Live with

1881
01:42:56,720 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano. How much money does fantasy football generate, I

1882
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:03,799
Speaker 1: guess in a year, And if you don't have that figure,

1883
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 1: what kind of money do participants make? Like how much

1884
01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 1: can my boy Polly Hamilton win over here? If you win?

1885
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:14,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea because I am not in that world. Um,

1886
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 1: I don't get into that. The leagues that I play

1887
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:24,200
Speaker 1: in their industry leagues, their leagues with friends and there's

1888
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 1: very little, if any of that involved. Now, there are

1889
01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 1: high stakes leagues out there, and I know a lot

1890
01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:33,519
Speaker 1: of players that are high stakes players, Derek Pearson being

1891
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:35,920
Speaker 1: one of them, one of the best out there. People

1892
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 1: play for some dough Okay, that's not my world, but

1893
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of people out there

1894
01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 1: that play for a whole heck, of a lot of money,

1895
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 1: which is why it's called high stakes, and I think

1896
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 1: that's part of them. Would you approach be the same like, um,

1897
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, with with drafting players, I guess you know, sure, sure, no, absolutely,

1898
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 1: And and you know I have relationships with a lot

1899
01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:58,599
Speaker 1: of these people who are in the high stakes least.

1900
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 1: We're all looking at the same data. We're all looking

1901
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 1: at the same stats, we're all looking at the same games.

1902
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:04,840
Speaker 1: We're all looking at the players in the same way,

1903
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:09,000
Speaker 1: sort of trying to project and determine who's moving up,

1904
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:12,559
Speaker 1: who's moving down, who had an increase in value based

1905
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:15,880
Speaker 1: on an offseason move whose offensive line improved the most,

1906
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:18,800
Speaker 1: whose offensive line took a shot Buffalo Bills already to

1907
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 1: say that's why Leshan McCoy's value is a bit down

1908
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:24,160
Speaker 1: in fantasy this season. We're all looking at the same stuff.

1909
01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:27,880
Speaker 1: The scoring systems could be potentially different. There are also

1910
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,600
Speaker 1: different rules in high stakes leagues, but overall, if you

1911
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:34,000
Speaker 1: look at a high stakes draft compared to a draft

1912
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 1: of fantasy analysts, you're going to see similarities. Now in

1913
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:41,400
Speaker 1: drafts where there are people who maybe don't do this

1914
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 1: for a living, or who are in high stakes leagues,

1915
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: You're going to see some weird stuff. You're going to

1916
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:48,120
Speaker 1: see some players go higher than maybe they should, and

1917
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 1: some players fall a little bit further than they should.

1918
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:57,479
Speaker 1: But overall, the analysis and the advice that I'm giving

1919
01:44:57,560 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 1: is going to be useful for both the high stakes

1920
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 1: player and for someone who maybe just playing with friends

1921
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:08,000
Speaker 1: from home or friends in their business or family. Who oh,

1922
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:12,360
Speaker 1: go ahead, hammy. Typically, how long are people waiting to

1923
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 1: take quarterbacks? Are they waiting for a nervous a long

1924
01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:21,559
Speaker 1: long time? In draft sir? When did the run on

1925
01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:26,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks usually start? So again, this goes back to what

1926
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:28,200
Speaker 1: sort of league are you in? If you're in a

1927
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:30,760
Speaker 1: league with analysts, like I'm in a bunch of them,

1928
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 1: we wait. Aaron Rodgers could be on the board in

1929
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:36,040
Speaker 1: the fifth round in some of these drafts, and then

1930
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:39,120
Speaker 1: at that point you take them. Tom Brady six signed

1931
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:43,640
Speaker 1: a huge deal, he's going the first overall. Well I know, yeah,

1932
01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:46,000
Speaker 1: and congratulations with him, and he deserves every penny of it.

1933
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: But in a in a league where you're playing with again, friends, family,

1934
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 1: you're doing it for fun, Aaron Rodgers could be your

1935
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 1: first round pick. It all depends on the competition. And

1936
01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:58,479
Speaker 1: the owners that you have in your league. But typically

1937
01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:01,479
Speaker 1: in the draft that I'm that I'm in, quarterbacks are

1938
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:03,760
Speaker 1: going starting in the fourth or fifth round, and that

1939
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:06,719
Speaker 1: would be Aaron Rodgers and Shaun Watson has actually been

1940
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:08,800
Speaker 1: drafted pretty highly too in a lot of these high

1941
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 1: stakes leagues, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson. And then in the

1942
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:14,879
Speaker 1: middle round you're looking at, you know, Cam Newton, for example.

1943
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 1: But the position is so deep that if you play

1944
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 1: your cards right and you utilize the strategy correctly, you

1945
01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:25,439
Speaker 1: can get a really good quarterback after round eight. Cam

1946
01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:27,800
Speaker 1: Newton's a guy that comes to Mike Matthew Staffords a

1947
01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:30,000
Speaker 1: guy that comes to mind. Jimmy Garoppolo is a huge sleeper.

1948
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is a huge sleeper. Last year Alex Smith

1949
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 1: was in the top five and he wasn't even drafted

1950
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:37,840
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues. What about Rivers with all

1951
01:46:37,840 --> 01:46:40,719
Speaker 1: the weapons that he has? Now, Rivers does it every

1952
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 1: single season. There's sort of peaks and valleys with him

1953
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:46,040
Speaker 1: in terms of his stats. Sometimes he'll put up a

1954
01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:47,960
Speaker 1: huge number and then the following week not so much.

1955
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 1: Last year he was a little more consistent, but look

1956
01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:52,599
Speaker 1: at the weapons he has and unfortunately he lost hundred

1957
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:54,720
Speaker 1: Henry for the season. But he's got Keenan Allen, he's

1958
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 1: got Mike Williams and Tyroll Williams. He's got Melvin Gordon

1959
01:46:57,479 --> 01:46:59,800
Speaker 1: in the backfield. So Rivers is one of those quarterbacks

1960
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:02,639
Speaker 1: who fits into the strategy of I want to wait

1961
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 1: and still get a good player in the ninth, tenth

1962
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: or eleventh round. Ben Roethlisberger's right in that same area

1963
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:13,759
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, what about case keenum Because the position

1964
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:15,599
Speaker 1: is so deep, Keenom is not going to get drafted

1965
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:17,519
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues, and if I draft a

1966
01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:20,880
Speaker 1: guy who, say top eight, I'm probably not drafting a

1967
01:47:20,920 --> 01:47:24,720
Speaker 1: second quarterback. If I have Ben Roethlisberger is my number one,

1968
01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:27,599
Speaker 1: maybe I'm drafting Mahomes as my number two. Case Keenom

1969
01:47:27,640 --> 01:47:28,960
Speaker 1: is going to end up being a guy who will

1970
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:30,840
Speaker 1: end up on the waiver wire to start the season,

1971
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:35,559
Speaker 1: but inevitably, inevitably, he's going to be a streamer. He's

1972
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 1: going to be a matchup based starter, potentially a guy

1973
01:47:37,880 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 1: you pick up off the waiver wire. But guys, the

1974
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:42,759
Speaker 1: position is just so deep, and you start one quarterback

1975
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 1: in traditional leagues, so there's really no reason to go

1976
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 1: and reach for any of these guys. Could Case keenom

1977
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:50,920
Speaker 1: end up being a top twenty quarterback this season, absolutely,

1978
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 1: but that really doesn't make him draftable in a standard

1979
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 1: ten team league. I'm going to take him because I

1980
01:47:56,840 --> 01:48:00,800
Speaker 1: love him. I just love Case Keen. See that's the thing.

1981
01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 1: Don't take him until the last couple of rounds. But

1982
01:48:04,280 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 1: that's what I tell people. If they love a certain player,

1983
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:09,880
Speaker 1: they want to draft a guy, go ahead and do it.

1984
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,240
Speaker 1: Don't reach three or four rounds for him. But fantasy

1985
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 1: football about competitiveness, but it's about fun too. And I

1986
01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 1: see a lot of people a drafting players from their

1987
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 1: favorite teams, and that's totally fine as long as you

1988
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:23,879
Speaker 1: remember not to reach and try to get some value

1989
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 1: from these players. Who do you think has been and

1990
01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:29,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know if this question is relevant or not,

1991
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 1: but who's been the most consistent fantasy player year after

1992
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:35,080
Speaker 1: year after year where people are like, I gotta get

1993
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:36,800
Speaker 1: this guy. He might not be in the first round,

1994
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:40,599
Speaker 1: but every year he produces. Aaron Rodgers is the first

1995
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 1: player that comes to mind. Every single season, He's every

1996
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:49,360
Speaker 1: single season, no question, Tom Brady every single season, and

1997
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 1: he defies father time forty one years old. I mean,

1998
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:54,639
Speaker 1: we should all start eating avocado ice cream because clearly

1999
01:48:54,640 --> 01:48:59,000
Speaker 1: it's doing something for him. He's been great. Levane Bell

2000
01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 1: to hold out last season, still has a big year,

2001
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 1: and he's a guy who does it year in the

2002
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:06,920
Speaker 1: year on Antonio Brown. These are the players who are

2003
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 1: going to be drafted in the top thirty, the guys

2004
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:13,840
Speaker 1: who we know what we're going to get from. Rob

2005
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 1: Gronkowski is another name that comes to mind too, a

2006
01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:20,439
Speaker 1: player who has been a thousand yard, double digit touchdown

2007
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 1: guy for a lot of his career and continues to

2008
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:26,719
Speaker 1: be one of the best in the business. And we'll

2009
01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:28,920
Speaker 1: certainly see a lot of targets this season from Tom

2010
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:31,640
Speaker 1: Brady again because well Julian Edeman is suspended for the

2011
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:35,040
Speaker 1: first four games, and also their wide receiver corp right

2012
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:38,639
Speaker 1: now not so hot. Past Chris Hogan, how many drafts

2013
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:44,559
Speaker 1: are you in? So I still have four, potentially five.

2014
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 1: I have three on Labor Day, including one that's going

2015
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:50,280
Speaker 1: to be on NFL Network, and I just had one

2016
01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:55,800
Speaker 1: last night. Right now, I have eight redrafts, one Best Ball,

2017
01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:58,639
Speaker 1: and I may end up having another redraft league. We'll

2018
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,120
Speaker 1: see what happens. But I try to limit it, and

2019
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:04,439
Speaker 1: I know eight to ten leagues doesn't sound like limiting it.

2020
01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:07,360
Speaker 1: I was about to say that, but I mean, I mean,

2021
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:10,440
Speaker 1: you work in this we could probably handle twenty or thirty.

2022
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,719
Speaker 1: I have friends in this industry, and I'm not kidding

2023
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:17,599
Speaker 1: you that are in twenty re draft leagues, and then

2024
01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 1: they're in another twenty or thirty Best Ball leagues, and

2025
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:25,320
Speaker 1: then they're doing another twenty DFS leagues. It's insane. But

2026
01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 1: I can't handle that with the schedule that I have

2027
01:50:27,479 --> 01:50:30,559
Speaker 1: to keep from September to the end of the season.

2028
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 1: But I play in a lot of leagues. But trust me,

2029
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 1: there's folks out there who are playing in a ton

2030
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:40,720
Speaker 1: more leagues than I'm playing in. Give me your best

2031
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:42,080
Speaker 1: draft pick. Do you have a number one pick in

2032
01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:45,120
Speaker 1: any of them? Right now? My number one guy is

2033
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:48,280
Speaker 1: Levion Bell. Despite the hold out and despite the fact

2034
01:50:48,320 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 1: that he's not going to be around for preseason he

2035
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:54,919
Speaker 1: hasn't been. He's still resume wise, probably the most consistent

2036
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:57,479
Speaker 1: running back and the most productive running back in fantasy football.

2037
01:50:57,640 --> 01:50:59,559
Speaker 1: But Todd Gurley is a close second, and Girley's going

2038
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:01,639
Speaker 1: to go for in allow of drafts. I just worry

2039
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 1: a little bit about regression. He had nineteen touchdowns last season.

2040
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's going to happen again in

2041
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:08,280
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. With that being said, he's still gonna end

2042
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:09,880
Speaker 1: up being one of the five best running backs in

2043
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:12,720
Speaker 1: fantasy football other than Paul Hamilton. Are there any other

2044
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:18,120
Speaker 1: celebrities out there searching your knowledge for their drafts? So

2045
01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:22,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of celebrities who play fantasy football. I

2046
01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:25,240
Speaker 1: run a celebrity draft for the National Football League. We

2047
01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:28,280
Speaker 1: had it last week, all online because it's impossible to

2048
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:31,160
Speaker 1: get all these people together in one room in one place.

2049
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 1: Just to give you an example of some of the

2050
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 1: players that I have, Jerry O'Connell, David Boreanis, the miss

2051
01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 1: from WWE is a huge fantasy football guy. The Bella

2052
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:44,679
Speaker 1: Twins play fantasy football. I'm in leagues with them. Dellan

2053
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:47,280
Speaker 1: Patanzas from the Yankees, Adam Wayne Right. You know, all

2054
01:51:47,320 --> 01:51:50,720
Speaker 1: these baseball teams have clubhouse leagues, all of them. They

2055
01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:53,800
Speaker 1: all have these big leagues where they get ten or

2056
01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:56,920
Speaker 1: twelve guys together and they have a draft. Jerry Kantrell,

2057
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:58,920
Speaker 1: Mike Nz from Alison Chains. So I'm actually going to

2058
01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 1: see tonight. They're in a league with me, and then

2059
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:06,320
Speaker 1: we have their draft on Thursday, and that draft includes

2060
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:11,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Garland from Kurb Your Enthusiasm, Duff mccagan from Guns N'

2061
01:52:11,080 --> 01:52:15,880
Speaker 1: Roses Scott Ian from Anthrax showing Off. There are any

2062
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:20,559
Speaker 1: number of big time celebrities and former athletes, but Dani

2063
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 1: and Thomlinson, maybe the greatest running back in the history

2064
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:25,920
Speaker 1: of fantasy football, plays fantasy football now. Maurice Jones Drew

2065
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:29,879
Speaker 1: he was great during his time in Jacksonville plays fantasy football.

2066
01:52:29,960 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 1: Marshall Falk plays fantasy football. Kurt Warner I got him

2067
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:36,439
Speaker 1: playing fantasy football. He quit last year because he just

2068
01:52:36,479 --> 01:52:38,920
Speaker 1: had too much on his plate. But you'd be very

2069
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:42,160
Speaker 1: surprised at the number of celebrities and former players and

2070
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:47,479
Speaker 1: current players that enjoy and play in several fantasy football leagues.

2071
01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:50,840
Speaker 1: Who's your favorite football player of all time? Forget about

2072
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:55,320
Speaker 1: fantasy the years watched like who's your favorite player? So

2073
01:52:55,560 --> 01:53:01,360
Speaker 1: it's hard because there's two. Tony Dorset and that's dating

2074
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 1: myself and Danny White, and that basically proves the one thing.

2075
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan and I have been since

2076
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:10,160
Speaker 1: I've been seven years old. Those are my favorite players

2077
01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:13,439
Speaker 1: of all time. I loved watching Tony Dorsett, loved him,

2078
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:17,360
Speaker 1: and Danny White was just he was a very underrated

2079
01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:20,639
Speaker 1: quarterback who, had he not lost in three NFC championship games,

2080
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:24,400
Speaker 1: might have been a Hall of Famer. And those are

2081
01:53:24,400 --> 01:53:27,640
Speaker 1: my favorite players because those are the guys that I

2082
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 1: watched growing up, and they really made me into a

2083
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:34,599
Speaker 1: football fan. Now I can go forward and name a

2084
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:38,839
Speaker 1: dozen or two dozen more players that I love, including

2085
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:41,840
Speaker 1: with Dani and Thomason, including Marshall Falk, but those are

2086
01:53:41,840 --> 01:53:45,680
Speaker 1: the two guys that really got me interested in not

2087
01:53:45,720 --> 01:53:47,879
Speaker 1: only a Dallas Cowboys, but in the game of football

2088
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:51,679
Speaker 1: it self. Michael Fabiano, not the opera singer, the NFL

2089
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:55,400
Speaker 1: fantasy football guru. We appreciate your time right here on

2090
01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 1: One Bills Live and all your information. I will tell

2091
01:53:57,920 --> 01:54:00,639
Speaker 1: you this, I am going to start a fane draft.

2092
01:54:00,720 --> 01:54:02,519
Speaker 1: I'm going to get killed in it, but I'm fine

2093
01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:04,559
Speaker 1: with that. Can I be in it? No party, No,

2094
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:08,519
Speaker 1: It's it's just me. It's just me. I'm still gonna lose.

2095
01:54:08,600 --> 01:54:10,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna draft my own team. I'm still gonna lose,

2096
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:13,400
Speaker 1: but I'm fine with it. But yeah, joined the forty

2097
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 1: or fifty million people who are playing fantasy sports, you

2098
01:54:16,280 --> 01:54:18,559
Speaker 1: may as well jump in the pool. And I guarantee it.

2099
01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:20,960
Speaker 1: Once you jump, you're gonna love it. You're gonna play

2100
01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:24,240
Speaker 1: every single season. You might have hooked me. I will

2101
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:27,479
Speaker 1: will be in touch. Michael Fabiano, thank you so much

2102
01:54:27,479 --> 01:54:29,000
Speaker 1: for your time. We appreciate it. Here on one of

2103
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:31,880
Speaker 1: those life all right, that was that's great stuff. I

2104
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:35,080
Speaker 1: don't play fantasy sports, and it's it's not that I

2105
01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:38,840
Speaker 1: don't like it or I just number one, I don't

2106
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:42,160
Speaker 1: get it. I didn't get it how it works and everything.

2107
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 1: But I mean it's exciting. It makes watching the game

2108
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 1: so much and I enjoy it. But I was in

2109
01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 1: the third league once and that was too much because

2110
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,840
Speaker 1: then you've always you're rooting for a guy in your team,

2111
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:57,200
Speaker 1: but then you're rooting against him on another league because

2112
01:54:57,200 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 1: you're playing against him, and it seemed like it just

2113
01:55:00,440 --> 01:55:03,240
Speaker 1: it was too much. So I I enjoy having two teams.

2114
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:07,920
Speaker 1: That's enough for me. Um, it works just fine. And well,

2115
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 1: after having mister Fabiano on, mister jam, why don't you

2116
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 1: go ahead and tell us exactly what you want to

2117
01:55:12,920 --> 01:55:16,640
Speaker 1: take too Brown? And I'm but that's what you said before.

2118
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, King, I don't want to. I'm thinking I

2119
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:23,040
Speaker 1: want to take Antonio Brown, so what I think, and

2120
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:24,840
Speaker 1: I still want to take a running back there, but

2121
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:29,520
Speaker 1: I got I have to Wednesday to decide. So maybe

2122
01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:32,520
Speaker 1: he gets hurt. Maybe maybe gets hurt in that decision.

2123
01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:35,560
Speaker 1: Will you check like the transactions or the injuries and

2124
01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Yeah, you do, Yeah, you have to.

2125
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:40,280
Speaker 1: You don't want to draft a guy that's injured. That's

2126
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:44,240
Speaker 1: my luck. You know, I draft Sujimoto. You know what

2127
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean. It doesn't even he doesn't even exist. One

2128
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 1: Bill Is Live, Andrew Peters Paul Hamilton. Has been a

2129
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 1: fun show so far. We got about a half hour left.

2130
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:54,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick break. When we come back,

2131
01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:57,440
Speaker 1: we will talk more about the quarterback situation. Bill's final

2132
01:55:57,480 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: playoff preseason game, not playoff game, preseason game tomorrow in Chicago.

2133
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:05,080
Speaker 1: Recap a little bit about what mister Brown, Reuben Brown

2134
01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:08,120
Speaker 1: said about the offensive line right here. Coming up, One

2135
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:26,080
Speaker 1: Bills Live, w g R five fifty MSG. Welcome back,

2136
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:29,760
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, Andrew Peters, Paul Hamilton. Not your usual crew.

2137
01:56:29,840 --> 01:56:31,920
Speaker 1: Murph and Steve are on the road. They're heading to

2138
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:34,640
Speaker 1: Chicago for Tomorrow night. If you're tuning in the show,

2139
01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:36,560
Speaker 1: you know what Tomorrow night is. That's the Bill's fourth

2140
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:41,960
Speaker 1: and final preseason game. No quarterback named just yet, and

2141
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:46,840
Speaker 1: I think we're all kind of eagerly waiting on that news.

2142
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, does it matter to you who starts Tomorrow night?

2143
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:53,760
Speaker 1: Do you care? I care? I would rather not see

2144
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:56,000
Speaker 1: the guy that they want to start against Baltimore. Do

2145
01:56:56,040 --> 01:56:57,440
Speaker 1: we even know who that guy is? We don't know.

2146
01:56:57,560 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the silence. I hope they know. I hope

2147
01:57:00,520 --> 01:57:02,200
Speaker 1: they figured it out, and I hope they've made a

2148
01:57:02,240 --> 01:57:05,560
Speaker 1: decision on it. So any of it, I would think

2149
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:07,880
Speaker 1: you would see a lot of AJ McCarron if his

2150
01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:12,040
Speaker 1: collarbone slash shoulder is okay, he has been doing some

2151
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:15,440
Speaker 1: throwing and he's been cleared for practice. I would like

2152
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:17,800
Speaker 1: to see some of Josh Allen if he is not

2153
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 1: the starter against Baltimore. I still think it would behoove

2154
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:25,080
Speaker 1: him and help him to get some playing time. But

2155
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:27,120
Speaker 1: if they plan on him being the starter, no, I

2156
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 1: don't want him anywhere near that game, do you. I

2157
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:34,920
Speaker 1: don't even really know how to how to word this question.

2158
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:37,640
Speaker 1: I mean, do you do you think McCarron could start

2159
01:57:37,680 --> 01:57:42,440
Speaker 1: Week one? I had thought that, but I thought I

2160
01:57:42,480 --> 01:57:44,080
Speaker 1: thought that was the initial plan when he came in,

2161
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 1: kind of like when Tyrod went to Cleveland, but with

2162
01:57:45,960 --> 01:57:49,680
Speaker 1: the injury. No, And quite honestly, I think both quarterbacks

2163
01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:52,520
Speaker 1: have outplayed him. You know, they've all had the opportunity

2164
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 1: to start a game. And if you take the overall

2165
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:58,720
Speaker 1: body of work, which is three games for Peterman and

2166
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:03,560
Speaker 1: Allen and one game for mccaron, I think, um, I

2167
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:06,280
Speaker 1: think the other two about played him. So how much

2168
01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 1: for you, Paul, does the Bill's schedule have to play

2169
01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:15,240
Speaker 1: into the decision if you're a coach, if you're a coach, Okay,

2170
01:58:15,400 --> 01:58:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to pull up the schedule, um, But from

2171
01:58:19,600 --> 01:58:22,680
Speaker 1: all I've been told is that the schedule Week one

2172
01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:27,360
Speaker 1: with Baltimore, the Chargers, Minnesota Vikings. Thank you to the

2173
01:58:27,360 --> 01:58:30,320
Speaker 1: boys and girls in the back room through it's a

2174
01:58:30,320 --> 01:58:32,640
Speaker 1: tough schedule. And I'm not sitting here saying that as

2175
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:34,480
Speaker 1: a coach, especially when you have to go on the

2176
01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:36,680
Speaker 1: road to play the Vikings and the Backers that is.

2177
01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 1: And I don't want anyone to think that if I'm

2178
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:42,320
Speaker 1: sitting here in sear mcdermot's spot. I'm saying, well, those

2179
01:58:42,320 --> 01:58:44,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be four pretty tough games. I don't think

2180
01:58:44,120 --> 01:58:46,560
Speaker 1: we can win those. That's not what I'm saying. I'm

2181
01:58:46,600 --> 01:58:50,560
Speaker 1: just saying, do you want to take a fresh, phased

2182
01:58:50,760 --> 01:58:53,640
Speaker 1: kid out of college and slam him into that that

2183
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:56,960
Speaker 1: schedule regardless of how ready he is? Well, yeah, if

2184
01:58:56,960 --> 01:58:59,280
Speaker 1: he's ready, absolutely, I mean you got to throw him

2185
01:58:59,320 --> 01:59:03,680
Speaker 1: in sometime if they feel he's ready. I still think

2186
01:59:04,080 --> 01:59:07,640
Speaker 1: he could use a little more seasoning, a little more now.

2187
01:59:07,680 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 1: It's not like hockey where he sent him down to Rochester.

2188
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't have a minor league to go to,

2189
01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:16,200
Speaker 1: but there are still practices and ways to learn. And

2190
01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, isn't it safe to say that if you

2191
01:59:21,120 --> 01:59:25,400
Speaker 1: don't start Josh Allen week one or week two, that

2192
01:59:25,480 --> 01:59:27,560
Speaker 1: he's going to start in the first five weeks? I mean,

2193
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:29,520
Speaker 1: looking at based on the schedule, I wouldn't say that's

2194
01:59:29,520 --> 01:59:33,600
Speaker 1: safe to say. I think it's depends on how the starter,

2195
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:38,040
Speaker 1: which I would say is Peterman would play well, I

2196
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 1: would Peterman, And I guess that's kind of my point,

2197
01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:42,400
Speaker 1: Like I kind of expect Peterman to still take his

2198
01:59:42,480 --> 01:59:45,920
Speaker 1: lumps too. He's still very new it's only a second year. Yeah,

2199
01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:48,320
Speaker 1: he absolutely, he doesn't have it all figured out yet.

2200
01:59:48,360 --> 01:59:52,600
Speaker 1: But I have liked his resiliency from what he had

2201
01:59:52,640 --> 01:59:55,280
Speaker 1: to go through last year to come out in this

2202
01:59:55,440 --> 01:59:58,080
Speaker 1: preseason and come out in this training camp, and I

2203
01:59:58,120 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 1: think performed fairly well. So I do like the resiliency

2204
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:05,840
Speaker 1: that he has shown as a quarterback and that hey,

2205
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:08,880
Speaker 1: I can take bad things happen to me and learn

2206
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:11,920
Speaker 1: from them and move forward and not have them destroy me.

2207
02:00:12,440 --> 02:00:14,880
Speaker 1: What's happened to him as a pro quarterback could have

2208
02:00:14,960 --> 02:00:19,160
Speaker 1: destroyed some other some athletes that are people. It didn't

2209
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:21,520
Speaker 1: destroy him. Hemmy. There are people in their jobs that

2210
02:00:21,560 --> 02:00:23,200
Speaker 1: are listening to the show right now, maybe they don't

2211
02:00:23,200 --> 02:00:25,080
Speaker 1: even listen or watch the show whatever, that just at

2212
02:00:25,080 --> 02:00:27,560
Speaker 1: their everyday job would not show up to work the

2213
02:00:27,600 --> 02:00:29,640
Speaker 1: next day after the bad day at work that they

2214
02:00:29,680 --> 02:00:33,000
Speaker 1: had on that Sunday. Out was in California. Yeah, I

2215
02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:35,520
Speaker 1: was San Diego or Los Angeles. I'm sorry. I still

2216
02:00:35,560 --> 02:00:39,160
Speaker 1: can't used to call him the Los Angeles Chargers. I mean,

2217
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:40,480
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that wouldn't have shown

2218
02:00:40,520 --> 02:00:42,080
Speaker 1: up to work the next day. And again, he's a

2219
02:00:42,120 --> 02:00:45,280
Speaker 1: pro athlete. His livelihood is on the line, so he

2220
02:00:45,400 --> 02:00:47,600
Speaker 1: has to be here if he's not cut. But I

2221
02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:51,160
Speaker 1: guess my point is, you stand there, you take the questions,

2222
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:55,640
Speaker 1: and you show up the next year. And clearly nothing

2223
02:00:55,720 --> 02:01:01,320
Speaker 1: has discouraged this kid. If anything, he's just encouraged to

2224
02:01:01,360 --> 02:01:03,600
Speaker 1: do more and be better. And he's driven. I'll tell

2225
02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:06,800
Speaker 1: you that he is driven, and that's why I love him.

2226
02:01:06,840 --> 02:01:09,160
Speaker 1: That's why he's I don't want to say my week

2227
02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:11,800
Speaker 1: one starter, because if anyone out there heard Andrew Peters

2228
02:01:11,800 --> 02:01:14,040
Speaker 1: a Week one starters Peterman, they don't they wouldn't care.

2229
02:01:14,320 --> 02:01:17,720
Speaker 1: But for me, it's his drive, it's his it's his personality.

2230
02:01:18,120 --> 02:01:20,680
Speaker 1: It's the resilience is the word that you just use.

2231
02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:24,000
Speaker 1: The improvement, the improved pocket presence where he doesn't panic

2232
02:01:24,440 --> 02:01:26,800
Speaker 1: when some guys get around him, he steps up and

2233
02:01:26,840 --> 02:01:29,760
Speaker 1: makes a throw um. As I mentioned earlier, he seems

2234
02:01:29,760 --> 02:01:32,440
Speaker 1: to have a plan when he when he goes back

2235
02:01:32,440 --> 02:01:36,440
Speaker 1: to pass, and he's not telegraphing it like a lot

2236
02:01:36,480 --> 02:01:40,640
Speaker 1: of young quarterbacks will. He will occasionally, is he auditioning, Sorry,

2237
02:01:40,680 --> 02:01:43,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna, You're gonna. I was just saying he will occasionally,

2238
02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:45,200
Speaker 1: but it's not something he does a lot of is

2239
02:01:45,320 --> 02:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Peterman auditioning for a job somewhere else next year. Sure

2240
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:53,680
Speaker 1: that that could wind up being it. But even if

2241
02:01:53,760 --> 02:01:56,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is your quarterback, you still need somebody to

2242
02:01:56,120 --> 02:01:59,120
Speaker 1: back him up, Somebody you can count on that you

2243
02:01:59,160 --> 02:02:02,400
Speaker 1: know in this is the National Football League, and the

2244
02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:06,080
Speaker 1: chances of you getting through all all the games with

2245
02:02:06,120 --> 02:02:11,200
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback aren't good. You're usually it happens, but

2246
02:02:11,240 --> 02:02:14,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen a lot, and your number two guys

2247
02:02:14,520 --> 02:02:17,080
Speaker 1: going to have to play, and you can't lose your

2248
02:02:17,120 --> 02:02:19,120
Speaker 1: whole season if he has to come in for a

2249
02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:23,400
Speaker 1: couple of games. I'm gonna ask you this question, not

2250
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:25,600
Speaker 1: because I have my own thoughts on it. What's your

2251
02:02:25,640 --> 02:02:31,200
Speaker 1: stance on the defense? I like this kid. You look

2252
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:35,040
Speaker 1: at the linebacking and I know they trade it up,

2253
02:02:35,080 --> 02:02:37,440
Speaker 1: and I know that's not a popular thought when when

2254
02:02:37,800 --> 02:02:42,280
Speaker 1: you're dealing with first round picks. But Tremaine Edmonds from

2255
02:02:42,400 --> 02:02:46,200
Speaker 1: the first preseason game to now, I think we've seen

2256
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:50,160
Speaker 1: just a huge improvement in what he can do. I'm

2257
02:02:50,200 --> 02:02:54,120
Speaker 1: trying to remember, especially a linebacker in a Bill's uniform,

2258
02:02:54,160 --> 02:02:57,080
Speaker 1: they could go sideline to sideline the way this kid can.

2259
02:02:57,560 --> 02:02:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he is out there before the running backs

2260
02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:03,480
Speaker 1: it there and making plays while he's doing it. And

2261
02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:08,880
Speaker 1: he was in the beginning, I think he was struggling

2262
02:03:08,920 --> 02:03:12,280
Speaker 1: because as a young player, he was hesitating a little bit.

2263
02:03:12,840 --> 02:03:16,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't processing it fast enough. But he looks to

2264
02:03:16,040 --> 02:03:18,560
Speaker 1: me to be like a very fast learner because it

2265
02:03:18,720 --> 02:03:21,320
Speaker 1: seems like he is processing the game a little bit

2266
02:03:21,360 --> 02:03:25,480
Speaker 1: faster now and getting to places and getting to getting

2267
02:03:25,480 --> 02:03:28,120
Speaker 1: to the hole and plugging the hole, and I think

2268
02:03:28,200 --> 02:03:30,640
Speaker 1: really doing a nice job. So I think that helps.

2269
02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:35,400
Speaker 1: The secondary was almost shocking to me against the Bengals.

2270
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:39,600
Speaker 1: They they really really struggled against all the Bengal quarterbacks

2271
02:03:39,680 --> 02:03:43,440
Speaker 1: and that was a surprise to me. Vante Davis was

2272
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:46,280
Speaker 1: signed as a free agent. He has struggled and now

2273
02:03:46,440 --> 02:03:50,000
Speaker 1: is in a fight to get his starting a position

2274
02:03:50,040 --> 02:03:53,560
Speaker 1: against Philip Gaines and that's been a fight there. And

2275
02:03:54,680 --> 02:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Trey White, I think is a fine corner the number

2276
02:03:57,080 --> 02:03:59,520
Speaker 1: one pick from last year. I think, you know, I

2277
02:03:59,560 --> 02:04:02,120
Speaker 1: think they'll be fine with him. Although he struggled against

2278
02:04:02,200 --> 02:04:05,320
Speaker 1: JJ Green, a guy that he struggled against last year

2279
02:04:05,440 --> 02:04:07,920
Speaker 1: when they played the Bengals, it seemed like maybe AJ

2280
02:04:08,080 --> 02:04:10,320
Speaker 1: Green has his number. Now you're talking about one of

2281
02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:12,640
Speaker 1: the best receivers in the National Football League. He has

2282
02:04:12,640 --> 02:04:15,880
Speaker 1: a lot of cornerbacks numbers. But I'm not worried about

2283
02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:20,040
Speaker 1: Trey White. He'll be fine player. And Hyde last year

2284
02:04:20,560 --> 02:04:23,520
Speaker 1: played Pro Bowl caliber type of football and they were

2285
02:04:23,560 --> 02:04:26,480
Speaker 1: a big reason why the Bill's defense was able to

2286
02:04:26,480 --> 02:04:30,320
Speaker 1: produce a lot of turnovers with the way they played

2287
02:04:30,320 --> 02:04:34,200
Speaker 1: out there. So I think it's a sense of concern

2288
02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:37,680
Speaker 1: that what we saw in the secondary, but we know

2289
02:04:37,800 --> 02:04:40,520
Speaker 1: they can play well. We've seen them play well, so

2290
02:04:40,720 --> 02:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be fine. But in order

2291
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:45,480
Speaker 1: from them to play well, there's going to have to

2292
02:04:45,480 --> 02:04:49,000
Speaker 1: be a pass rush generated. Trent Murphy has been injured

2293
02:04:49,080 --> 02:04:51,680
Speaker 1: and hardly played at all. He's the guy they signed

2294
02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 1: to help with Jerry Hughes and the pass rush, and

2295
02:04:55,520 --> 02:04:57,840
Speaker 1: they haven't had him out there at all. So if

2296
02:04:57,840 --> 02:04:59,520
Speaker 1: they can get a pass rush, I think that will

2297
02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:01,560
Speaker 1: help the second and Darry That's just an obvious thing

2298
02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:05,720
Speaker 1: to say. But as far as the running team's able

2299
02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:08,800
Speaker 1: to run against the Bills, I think once a guy

2300
02:05:08,880 --> 02:05:14,879
Speaker 1: like Edmonds really has it down. The other linebacker Milano,

2301
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:18,280
Speaker 1: I liked him last year. He really struggled to start

2302
02:05:18,280 --> 02:05:21,600
Speaker 1: the preseason. I think he's played a little bit better.

2303
02:05:21,680 --> 02:05:24,600
Speaker 1: Has it gone along? Guy Rubin Brown talked about remote

2304
02:05:24,680 --> 02:05:27,320
Speaker 1: number who's been behind him too, has also seen some

2305
02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:29,920
Speaker 1: playing time with the Bills last year and as the

2306
02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 1: guy that can be in there. So that's the concern.

2307
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:34,200
Speaker 1: Can they stop the run? Are they going to get

2308
02:05:34,200 --> 02:05:36,960
Speaker 1: gouged for the running game. They were not able to

2309
02:05:36,960 --> 02:05:39,880
Speaker 1: start stop the run early against the Browns. They made

2310
02:05:39,920 --> 02:05:43,040
Speaker 1: some adjustments and played better. They did stop the run

2311
02:05:43,080 --> 02:05:47,240
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, but to me it was shocking as

2312
02:05:47,560 --> 02:05:49,280
Speaker 1: the way the Bengals were able to throw the ball.

2313
02:05:50,080 --> 02:05:53,720
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. If you're looking for John Murphy or

2314
02:05:53,720 --> 02:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, look at about thirty three thousand feet. They're

2315
02:05:56,680 --> 02:05:59,880
Speaker 1: on their way to Chicago on the team plane. I

2316
02:06:00,120 --> 02:06:02,160
Speaker 1: think if they're on the team play unless they're let's

2317
02:06:02,160 --> 02:06:04,440
Speaker 1: they have to drive there. Hey, they might have to

2318
02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:08,480
Speaker 1: drive there. But they'll be on live from Chicago tomorrow

2319
02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:10,800
Speaker 1: right here from noon to three, right now, Andrew Peters

2320
02:06:10,800 --> 02:06:13,640
Speaker 1: and Paul Hamilton filling in and some league wide news. Hammy,

2321
02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:18,520
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints are making a trade? Are they?

2322
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:22,960
Speaker 1: They are trade alert? I love this stuff. Host one

2323
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:26,720
Speaker 1: football show. You get one trade. The Saints are trading

2324
02:06:26,880 --> 02:06:31,960
Speaker 1: the Jets for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Source said, well, that's

2325
02:06:31,960 --> 02:06:34,640
Speaker 1: a move to look down the line from Drew Brees.

2326
02:06:35,200 --> 02:06:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Drew Brees is not a spring chicken, and

2327
02:06:38,560 --> 02:06:41,240
Speaker 1: he's getting up there in age. He's around the forties

2328
02:06:41,600 --> 02:06:43,840
Speaker 1: mark somewhere in there. I'd have to look it up.

2329
02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:48,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's a move for the future that hey, Drew,

2330
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:53,000
Speaker 1: Drew Drew a Breeze cannot play forever. And Bridgewater is

2331
02:06:53,040 --> 02:06:55,880
Speaker 1: a guy that has had a good preseason for the Jets,

2332
02:06:56,880 --> 02:06:59,240
Speaker 1: was the starter for the Minnesota Vikings before he had

2333
02:06:59,240 --> 02:07:02,320
Speaker 1: that gruesome injury, but has seemed to have come back

2334
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:06,040
Speaker 1: okay from that injury. The Jets, of course have Darnold,

2335
02:07:06,320 --> 02:07:08,600
Speaker 1: so they make the trade. And I think it makes

2336
02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:11,400
Speaker 1: sense for the Saints to get their ducks in order

2337
02:07:11,440 --> 02:07:13,760
Speaker 1: to try to get a guy they can groom for

2338
02:07:13,880 --> 02:07:17,160
Speaker 1: when Drew Brees is no longer around. Do you think

2339
02:07:17,200 --> 02:07:21,480
Speaker 1: that guy's Teddy Bridgewater. You find out you have I

2340
02:07:21,480 --> 02:07:23,280
Speaker 1: guess you have to see something. Well, the thing is,

2341
02:07:23,280 --> 02:07:25,720
Speaker 1: you have time to find out. Now, Drew Brees is

2342
02:07:25,720 --> 02:07:28,920
Speaker 1: not retiring this year, so you have some time to

2343
02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:32,840
Speaker 1: find out if he can be the air apparent. The

2344
02:07:32,960 --> 02:07:35,800
Speaker 1: heir apparent very well, said Paul. It sounds like you've

2345
02:07:35,800 --> 02:07:38,960
Speaker 1: been doing this a while. Hey, I wouldn't said air apparent.

2346
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:41,200
Speaker 1: I just would have said back up and then start

2347
02:07:41,400 --> 02:07:45,040
Speaker 1: after a year or two. Those the simple guys. So

2348
02:07:45,120 --> 02:07:48,720
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater reportedly, these Saints are trading for quarterback Teddy

2349
02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:54,240
Speaker 1: Bridgewater from the New York Jets. And that's news that

2350
02:07:54,280 --> 02:07:57,200
Speaker 1: we just found out right now. Drew Brees talk about

2351
02:07:57,200 --> 02:07:59,960
Speaker 1: a guy that I don't know. Did he did he

2352
02:08:00,600 --> 02:08:02,640
Speaker 1: define all the odds? Like, did he beat the odds?

2353
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:06,120
Speaker 1: He was the number one pick for the San Diego

2354
02:08:06,240 --> 02:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Chargers and he had a pretty good year, but they

2355
02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:15,240
Speaker 1: decided they were going to go I think he got

2356
02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:17,560
Speaker 1: traded if I'm not mistaken. When they decided they were

2357
02:08:17,560 --> 02:08:20,920
Speaker 1: going to draft well thirty nine years of age by

2358
02:08:20,920 --> 02:08:24,600
Speaker 1: the way, for Drew Brees, they drafted, they were going

2359
02:08:24,640 --> 02:08:28,160
Speaker 1: to draft Manning. He didn't want to go there, so

2360
02:08:28,200 --> 02:08:30,040
Speaker 1: they wound up making the trade and they wound up

2361
02:08:30,040 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 1: with Rivers, and then Manning went to the Giants instead.

2362
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:36,440
Speaker 1: So that's that's how that all broke down. But when

2363
02:08:36,480 --> 02:08:39,240
Speaker 1: all that happened, Drew Brees was no longer going to

2364
02:08:39,320 --> 02:08:42,240
Speaker 1: be with the San Diego Chargers and wound up with

2365
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:45,480
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. And the Saints are shoulder issues

2366
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:49,200
Speaker 1: or something. I thought he has throughout his career. But overall,

2367
02:08:49,240 --> 02:08:51,440
Speaker 1: you talk about fantasy football, he's been one of those

2368
02:08:51,640 --> 02:08:56,280
Speaker 1: more consistent fantasy football players over the years. And hey,

2369
02:08:56,320 --> 02:09:00,000
Speaker 1: he won a Super Bowl with the Saints, so they're happy. Yeah,

2370
02:09:00,080 --> 02:09:04,120
Speaker 1: against Peyton Manning, I believe. Wasn't it the Colts? Oh,

2371
02:09:04,200 --> 02:09:06,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna test me there? No, No, I think what

2372
02:09:06,840 --> 02:09:10,000
Speaker 1: year was that? Was that? Two thousand? Was that the eleven?

2373
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:13,720
Speaker 1: Two eleven Super Bowl? I remember player that Yeah, MVP

2374
02:09:13,840 --> 02:09:15,800
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl two thousand and eleven, Player of

2375
02:09:15,840 --> 02:09:17,840
Speaker 1: the Year. Two thousand and eight and two thousand we

2376
02:09:17,880 --> 02:09:20,320
Speaker 1: had our I was playing for the Devils at the time.

2377
02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:22,720
Speaker 1: We were on the road, so we had a team

2378
02:09:23,720 --> 02:09:27,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl dinner at a restaurant and like some basement

2379
02:09:27,120 --> 02:09:30,880
Speaker 1: of a restaurant and they had like a big projection screen.

2380
02:09:30,880 --> 02:09:33,560
Speaker 1: We watched that game. I was so badly rooting. And

2381
02:09:33,600 --> 02:09:35,480
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say this because we had Jabari Greer on

2382
02:09:35,480 --> 02:09:37,640
Speaker 1: the show earlier today who won with the Saints that year.

2383
02:09:38,040 --> 02:09:42,760
Speaker 1: But I was rooting for Peyton Manning so hard. Why

2384
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:45,160
Speaker 1: I love Peyton Manning. I think you know what it

2385
02:09:45,200 --> 02:09:47,720
Speaker 1: was about Peyton Manning that I loved the most. This

2386
02:09:47,800 --> 02:09:50,120
Speaker 1: is gonna this is gonna shock you. Number one is

2387
02:09:50,160 --> 02:09:54,160
Speaker 1: acting skills. Okay, Number two he was on I was

2388
02:09:54,200 --> 02:10:01,120
Speaker 1: a big David Letterman fan. Okay, go you two. So

2389
02:10:01,240 --> 02:10:04,360
Speaker 1: he let Himan go outside of the Ed Sullivan Theater

2390
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:07,160
Speaker 1: and they have a basket of footballs and they started

2391
02:10:07,200 --> 02:10:09,800
Speaker 1: throwing footballs at taxis driving by. They have their windows open.

2392
02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:11,560
Speaker 1: He had to try to get him in moving taxis

2393
02:10:11,840 --> 02:10:15,400
Speaker 1: on the way by Letterman and Peyton Manning. We're having

2394
02:10:15,440 --> 02:10:18,680
Speaker 1: this competition on on TV. I don't know that. That's

2395
02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:20,480
Speaker 1: the little stuff that drew me in. You know, that's

2396
02:10:20,480 --> 02:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the kind of I didn't care about his performance on

2397
02:10:22,280 --> 02:10:23,880
Speaker 1: the field. I cared about it, you know what he

2398
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:25,840
Speaker 1: was like off the field quickly. Drew Brees was a

2399
02:10:26,240 --> 02:10:28,760
Speaker 1: second round picks the first pick of the second round

2400
02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:32,600
Speaker 1: twenty ten Super Bowl. I said first round. I said

2401
02:10:32,600 --> 02:10:34,880
Speaker 1: first round pick. You said first round pick. Yeah, thats

2402
02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:36,200
Speaker 1: all right. He was a second round Did he not

2403
02:10:36,240 --> 02:10:38,360
Speaker 1: have like brutal shoulder problem? I thought, I want to

2404
02:10:38,360 --> 02:10:41,400
Speaker 1: say that I thought he had at some point his

2405
02:10:41,440 --> 02:10:43,960
Speaker 1: career was almost over, somebout nerve damage or something in there.

2406
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:46,840
Speaker 1: And if yeah, that I don't know either, and I

2407
02:10:46,840 --> 02:10:48,440
Speaker 1: don't now. I'm just trying to sound like a doctor

2408
02:10:48,440 --> 02:10:50,560
Speaker 1: on the radio and TV. Here. We're gonna take a break.

2409

Speaker 1: Final segment of the show coming up. And before we

2410
02:10:54,480 --> 02:10:58,440
Speaker 1: get to the final segment, Team Manny twenty two jeered

2411
02:10:58,480 --> 02:11:00,520
Speaker 1: what he read what he wrote to us, Paul, now

2412
02:11:00,960 --> 02:11:04,720
Speaker 1: you're too busy reading your Wikipedia. Andrew Brees admirable job

2413
02:11:04,960 --> 02:11:07,880
Speaker 1: filling in for Murph and Steve Tasker on the show today.

2414
02:11:07,880 --> 02:11:11,200
Speaker 1: Fellas not bad for a few hockey guys. Thank you

2415
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:13,880
Speaker 1: very much. Team Annie more one Bills Live with a

2416
02:11:13,920 --> 02:11:16,200
Speaker 1: couple of hockey guys, Andrew Peters and Paul Hamilton. Right

2417
02:11:16,240 --> 02:11:18,760
Speaker 1: here w g R Sports Radio five fifty and MSG.

2418
02:11:30,880 --> 02:11:34,040
Speaker 1: All right, what have we learned today? Brought to you

2419
02:11:34,080 --> 02:11:37,160
Speaker 1: by Advanced Alarm. Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's homes

2420
02:11:37,160 --> 02:11:40,360
Speaker 1: and businesses with the finest in security and home theater

2421
02:11:40,760 --> 02:11:43,720
Speaker 1: and the preferred alarm and home theater provider of the

2422
02:11:43,760 --> 02:11:47,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. So in the first hour we had Jabari

2423
02:11:47,880 --> 02:11:50,920
Speaker 1: Jabari Greer on and he told us his impressions of

2424
02:11:50,960 --> 02:11:56,840
Speaker 1: Bill's rookie quarterback Josh Allen. Seeing Josh Allen at the

2425
02:11:56,960 --> 02:12:00,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the preseason, it really impresses me by the

2426
02:12:00,560 --> 02:12:04,160
Speaker 1: fact that he can look off a receiver. I mean

2427
02:12:04,200 --> 02:12:08,120
Speaker 1: he can look off a safety and pull him five

2428
02:12:08,240 --> 02:12:11,240
Speaker 1: or six yards away from his intended target. He's doing

2429
02:12:11,240 --> 02:12:15,360
Speaker 1: a great job and incorporating every single receiver that's on

2430
02:12:15,400 --> 02:12:18,080
Speaker 1: the field. He's his tight end, his check down, his

2431
02:12:18,200 --> 02:12:21,080
Speaker 1: person's second option. So he's done a great job of

2432
02:12:21,200 --> 02:12:24,680
Speaker 1: staying agile in the pocket, keeping the ball moving, and

2433
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:27,880
Speaker 1: really confusing the defenses. I think he's playing beyond his years.

2434
02:12:28,040 --> 02:12:31,080
Speaker 1: All right. That was Jabbarre Greer, former Buffalo Bill, New

2435
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:34,160
Speaker 1: Orleans Saint and Super Bowl champ. We also had on

2436
02:12:34,280 --> 02:12:37,200
Speaker 1: nine time proved Pro bowler and future Hall of Famer

2437
02:12:37,240 --> 02:12:43,600
Speaker 1: Ruben Brown on the shuffling of the Bill's offensive line

2438
02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:48,640
Speaker 1: talent Plague may have on the line, Um, you need

2439
02:12:48,840 --> 02:12:52,520
Speaker 1: to have a complete plane. Everyone has to get used

2440
02:12:52,520 --> 02:12:56,520
Speaker 1: to plan with each other in the positions that they're

2441
02:12:56,680 --> 02:13:00,560
Speaker 1: used to plan with them on a respiication. The build

2442
02:13:00,640 --> 02:13:03,920
Speaker 1: has not had a chance to build that constability, and

2443
02:13:03,960 --> 02:13:07,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a struggle for them all year long.

2444
02:13:07,640 --> 02:13:11,360
Speaker 1: Look through history, look at every offensive line. The best

2445
02:13:11,440 --> 02:13:15,320
Speaker 1: producing offensive mind are the ones that have more guys

2446
02:13:15,840 --> 02:13:19,520
Speaker 1: four maybe three to four guys that played the same

2447
02:13:19,640 --> 02:13:22,520
Speaker 1: position all the time. You can always count that they're

2448
02:13:22,520 --> 02:13:26,680
Speaker 1: gonna be in the lineup. But once you start adjusting

2449
02:13:26,760 --> 02:13:30,920
Speaker 1: guys and moving them around, that constabulity flow. All right.

2450
02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:33,000
Speaker 1: That was Ruben Brown on the shuffling of the Bills

2451
02:13:33,040 --> 02:13:35,160
Speaker 1: offensive line. One more thing before we get out of here,

2452
02:13:35,160 --> 02:13:37,920
Speaker 1: we learned who you're picking in your fantasy I'm supposed

2453
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:41,080
Speaker 1: to take Antonio Brown fifth overall, no matter how much

2454
02:13:41,120 --> 02:13:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I was told that I have to.

2455
02:13:43,920 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano, fantasy football guru, not the opera singer, said

2456
02:13:48,480 --> 02:13:52,480
Speaker 1: take him. That's your pick. And tomorrow you are going

2457
02:13:52,520 --> 02:13:55,400
Speaker 1: to be blessed to have John Murphy and Steve Tasker

2458
02:13:55,480 --> 02:13:59,200
Speaker 1: back on your screens and on your radio from Chicago,

2459
02:13:59,200 --> 02:14:01,640
Speaker 1: where the Bills will play their fourth and last preseason game.

2460
02:14:01,720 --> 02:14:04,200
Speaker 1: Right here, w g R five fifteen and MSG one

2461
02:14:04,280 --> 02:14:04,760
