17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: they started five minutes into the third period and still had,

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: you know, four overtimes and most of most of the

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: fourth overtime to go. I mean it lasted forever. It

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: took three hours to do it, and uh, it was fun.

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: I know though. You're like me though, right, You're at

22
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: home and I don't go out much, right, so you

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: find things to do. So I'm sitting there. I told

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: Sarah listen to hockey games on tonight. It's gonna be great.

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: And you know, she goes, okay, cool because she knows

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm a Sabers guy. Right, So game starts. She comes in,

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: looks at it for like ten seconds, and she looks

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: at me and then this accusatory tone. This is an

29
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: old game. Well yeah, she goes, you what, and I said, well,

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: I kind of explained to her, and she goes, well,

31
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: so it wasn't so it was it, you know, high scoring,

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: come back, kind of one thing I could. Well, now

33
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: let's start. It ended up one to nothing. The game

34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: was one nothing, and she's like, you know what, don't

35
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to bed, don't wake me to celebrate the victory.

36
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: That was it. I was by myself. Yeah, I gotta say,

37
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: it's a great game. It's a classic. I know, and

38
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: I've watched games over the last few days that have

39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: occurred before. But when you know the outcome, it does

40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: take something away from it. Don't you think when you

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: know how it's gonna end. And in that way, I

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: kind of understand what Sarah's saying. To be honest with you,

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's easy to it's good, and yeah, it's

44
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: it's about so much more than just a game, though,

45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, you get I was telling you, you know,

46
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: before the show started, it's in the old odd and

47
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: you see the way it was laid out. You hear

48
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: the fans chanting all different kinds of stuff. They were

49
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: chanting Broder. They were whining about Broder and saying his

50
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: name over and over, and then they were they were

51
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: chanting Ashis name when he makes this impossible save, and

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: they were let's go Buffalo, Let's go Buffalo, over and

53
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: over and over again. And then you John Gertler was

54
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: doing the play by play and at one point the

55
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: puck goes high up into the crowd. He goes, Oh,

56
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: it's all the way up in the lower blue section

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: of this. Ah. You know, So it's all those old

58
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: phrases we used to be so familiar with. So a

59
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: lot of the game is about something that's different than

60
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: the game, and so takes you back to and also

61
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: the way the game was played. Stuff happened in that game.

62
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm going, what do they do? And that's a penalty,

63
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: and you know it wasn't a penalty back then. The

64
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: game is called differently, it was certainly played a little

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: bit differently back then. It's and it's really stark in

66
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: comparison how evolved hockey has been in the last you

67
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: know whatever, however long it's been in ninety and twenty years,

68
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: twenty yeah, almost thirty years. So it's it's really wild

69
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: for all of those reasons. It's not just about the

70
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: score of the game. I get you. Yeah, you know,

71
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: I was at the game, and I know it's a

72
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: famous game. It's an amazing game. I just I did

73
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: not feel compelled to watch it. You know what I

74
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: did watch it. I've been trying to watch movies maybe

75
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: two per day over this period, and you know what

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: I watched last night? Really it was a delightful movie

77
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: with Eddie Murphy called Dolomite is my name? Did you

78
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: ever come across that movie? I've never heard of that.

79
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: It's really good. It was nominated for several awards. Eddie

80
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: Murphy remains and he's not around much, but he remains

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: one of the funniest people in America. And Chris Rock,

82
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: who I've always considered the funniest man in America. He

83
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: has a small role to play in the movie too.

84
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: But Eddie Murphy is spectacular. And it's a story. It's

85
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: a biographical story of a guy named I forget his

86
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: name now she got three names. But it happened, It

87
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: really happened. This guy got his money together made a

88
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: movie about this funny, comedic character, and it's a remake

89
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: of his story. It is hilarious. Now, the language is

90
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: a little rough. It's not for kids. There's nothing filthy

91
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: in it, but it's just the language is filthy. And uh,

92
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: I thought it was really back, really good, really back.

93
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: What's the name of it? Dolomite is my name? Just

94
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: came out a year ago. Uh. Even my wife, who

95
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: usually rebels when I watch movies with iffy language, was

96
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: I found her chuckling to some of the comedy there.

97
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: It was really funny. Eddie Murphy's a genius. And that

98
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: is it an old movie too? Or is it? It

99
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: was made last year. It was nominated for several awards

100
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: last year. Made in twenty nineteen, came out in October

101
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: November last year. Dolomite is my name, And there was

102
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: a movie originally in the seventies called Dolomite. Okay, really

103
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: really good movie that's about the that was the highlight

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: of my day, and that's kind of sad. Well, Yeah,

105
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm I think I might get out to his fifty degrees.

106
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out for a bit, for a five

107
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: mile walk today around a golf course thirty eight this morning. Yeah,

108
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be in the mid forties, which is

109
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: warmer than it was the other day when I went out,

110
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: So you know, I think it'll be good. It gets

111
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: easy to you know, like I say, I'll have a

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: couple of guys with me, a couple of buddies with me.

113
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: It's easy to stay six feet apart when you're on

114
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the golf course and still have conversations and and kind

115
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: of have some fun. So it's it's been a great

116
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: outlet for me and a couple of my friends to

117
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: be able to get out. The pins are in, the

118
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: course is completely shut down. But you know it's uh,

119
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, go at your own risk, I guess, but

120
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's like I said, out in the outdoors,

121
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: getting a good walk in and um, it's been fun.

122
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: It's been fun in that way. But that's the only

123
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, where else do you go except your house? Right?

124
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know, you know it's funny. It's also

125
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: came up last night. My wife tried to make the

126
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: case that, you know, our life really isn't that different

127
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: than what it was before we were quarantined. Like, no,

128
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't tell me that. You know, really, we have

129
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: dinner at home, We stay at home, maybe watch a movie,

130
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: watch TV, go to bed kind of early. It's not

131
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: that different. I was like, no, No, the difference is,

132
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: and this is this is a small complaint because we've

133
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: got it so easy. I think the difference is you

134
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: feel quarantine. You feel you know, you're in prison somehow,

135
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: like you're locked into your routine and you can't get out. Right,

136
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: don't you feel that way a little bit? I think

137
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. I think you feel like, um, gosh,

138
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: let's go you know, if you wanted to, it's like, uh, gosh,

139
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: let's go out for a drink. Let's call some friends

140
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: to go for a glass of wine, or let's do

141
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: something like that, or let's you know whatever, go to

142
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: a restaurant. For supper instead of making it in and

143
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: you can't, you know, you just can't do it. Yeah, So,

144
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: and I get it. You feel like you're not supposed

145
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: to reach out to people and go do something, you

146
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it's crazy too because in

147
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: our in this world of day and age we live,

148
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: you just text people. Anyway. We've got Andrew Catalan on

149
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: the show today. He's a good friend of mine. I

00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,240

Speaker 1: so he's sitting at home. It's like, you think about

153
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: the sports play by play guys. You're you're one of them, football, right,

154
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: but think about it. I mean, all these guys with

155
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: March madness and all the NBA stuff going on, the

156
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: hockey stuff going on. You know, there's a lot of

157
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: broadcasters that are just twiddling their thumbs right these days.

158
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: Let me say, well, maybe I'll ask Andrew about this.

159
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: And he doesn't. He doesn't want to talk too much

160
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: about basketball. But I was watching replays of tournament games

161
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: a little bit over the weekend and it struck me.

162
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: And last weekend was tough as a basketball fan and

163
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: here's why last weekend is when you get these big upsets,

164
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: right where fourteen seed wins or fifty and here's what

165
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: here's I think why it happens and why those games

166
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: are so compelling. In the first and second rounds of

167
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: the tournament, you've got teams going up against it and

168
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: maybe they're a fourteen seed or a thirteen seed or twelve,

169
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: they're usually pretty good teams. Some of these teams have

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: won their mid major conference and have twenty two twenty

171
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: four wins going up against a mediocre team in a

172
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: Big ten or or you know, the Pac twelve or something,

173
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: and those are upsets when they happen. But the point

174
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: is in the first round or two of the tournament,

175
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: those those smaller schools, those lowly regarded teams are usually

176
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: pretty good teams who know how to Typically they have

177
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: more seniors than the mid majors do. The mid majors

178
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: keep their seniors around a little bit longer. That's why

179
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: those tournaments, that's why those upsets happen in the tournament,

180
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: and that's why it's so compelling, because those teams know

181
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: how to play, they know how to win. I I'm

182
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: gonna ask Andrew about it. I don't know, he can

183
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: answer if he wants. I think that's what makes those

184
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: games so compelling is that, uh many times those mid

185
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: majors are in there with twenty four wins a couple

186
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: of seniors, and they know what it takes to win,

187
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: and regardless of how far they might be down or

188
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: how much they might be, uh you know, regarded as

189
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: an underdog, they know how to win and that that

190
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: makes them fun I think, yeah, it's one of the Yeah,

191
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: it's funny. We we're talking about having Andrew Catalan, a

192
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: former play by play guy. I was in the booth

193
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: with CBS with in the NFL um and he does

194
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: our preseason packages to play by play gay on the

195
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: TV games on the in the preseason, and we were

196
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: talking and you know, we had to go through CBS

197
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: to ask him to be on, and CBS said, yeah,

198
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: he can come on, but you can't talk about the NCAA.

199
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: We have a company spokesperson, so keep it to football.

200
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: So we're like, okay, yeah, we'll talk to him because

201
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: he does some football stuff obviously as well. He works

202
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: with James lofton now for CBS, so we've been asked

203
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: to stay away from the NCAA talk just because Andrew

204
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: doesn't want to cross paths, you know, cross swords with CBS.

205
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: CBS wants to have their own one voice. So it's

206
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: kind of weird all this stuff that's going on. And

207
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: how many you think of and you know, we talk

208
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: about the economy, think about the cash cow that March

209
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Madness is for the NCAA and it's just gone away. Yeah,

210
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: it's amazing how many jobs and travel and the thousands,

211
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of fans that are going to be

212
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: going to these games over the course of the three

213
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: three and a half weeks of the tournament. It's all

214
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: gone and it's a huge vacuum at this point of

215
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: the calendar. Yep, we got Andrew Calon coming up at

216
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: twelve thirty today, No one o'clock today, that Jim Kelly

217
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Bills All of Fame cornerback at one thirty and Brian

218
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: Baldinger former Bills Offensive Latin coming up at two. That's

219
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: what the rundown looks like. We are in kind of

220
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: week two, I guess of the the quarantine portion of

221
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: our show. Steve's at home, and at home, our producer

222
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: Jay Harris's home. We are radio only, and I think

223
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say people are kind of

224
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: feeling it a little bit, and we'll hang in there.

225
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: I was just watching Governor Cuomo. He's been great, very

226
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: passionate today about what he needs and what he's looking for,

227
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: and he's great. He's not advocating panic. He's talks about

228
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: just relax. You know, everybody relaxed. This affects a very

229
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: small minority of people in the population, but it affects them,

230
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: and the stage is concerned about him. I just think

231
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: the Governor continues to hit the right note. But I

232
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: do want to I don't want to go too deep

233
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: into the show, Steve without again saluting the healthcare professionals

234
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: who are on the front line of this battle right now. Nurses, doctors, technicians,

235
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: caregivers in hospitals and medical facilities, old folks homes. They

236
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: have been and will continue to be remarkable. And we

237
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: work here, we do these three hours of our show,

238
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: as I said, in the honor of those people. They

239
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: really are something we're doing kind of um, we're doing

240
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: stuff that's sort of not not not meaningful at all

241
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: compared to what they do. And I want to salute

242
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: those people again, Yeah, I agree with you. It's uh,

243
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: it's we're in the midst of it, and we just

244
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: hope that they can hold up through the duration of

245
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: what we've got ahead of us. We and none of

246
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: us know exactly how bad or how you know, how

247
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: flat we can make the curve of this, and but

248
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: we know this, the people that are doing their best

249
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: are the ones that are actually in all the hopefully

250
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: all the right gear, the the hazmat suits and the

251
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: masks and the gloves and the all that, um, all

252
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: the equipment that they've got to use and getting in

253
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: there and out of there every day at Gillie. It's

254
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: everybody else is sitting around at home like you and

255
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: I are doing our best to kind of stay busy.

256
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: And those people are you know, they are. They're working hard,

257
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: working long hours and under difficult conditions and yeah, exposing

258
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: himself to uh, you know, exposing themselves to the disease,

259
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: to the virus. So hey. A couple of Bills notables

260
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: have issued comments about this. Want to get through this too.

261
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Bill's head coach, came up with a public

262
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: comment last night about just hanging in there. Everybody hang

263
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: in there, Bills fans, Let's listen it. This is head

264
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: coach Shan McDermott, a statement that he released and put

265
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: out on video on the Bills social media platforms last night.

266
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Buffalo. I'm Sean McDermott, head coach of the

267
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and I wanted to take just a minute

268
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: to reach out and let you all know that we're

269
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: part of one big team right now, one big team

270
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: with a big challenge in front of us. And that challenge,

271
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: as you know, is to help stop the spread of

272
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen virus in our community. I'm so thankful

273
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: to the first responders out there on the front line,

274
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: serving us every day, trying to keep our families healthy

275
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: and safe, and I want us to remain as positive

276
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: as possible. I know that there's so much out there

277
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: that's coming in every day that we can't control, but

278
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: let's control what we can. Let's be mind full of

279
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: our senior population and those with underlying health concerns, and

280
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: do our part by being socially responsible. I'm confident that

281
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: we will seize this opportunity as a community. It's time

282
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: to circle the wagon's buffalo. I'm praying for each and

283
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: every one of you. Let's go. Buffalo head coach Sean

284
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: McDermott looked like he taked it at home. Released it

285
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: late yesterday. Pretty good message, Steve. I don't know if

286
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, how many local leaders are as popular

287
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: right now as the Bill's head coach. So when he

288
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: says something, people listen, you know, yeah, absolutely, he's I

289
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: think it's really gonna be interesting to see how things

290
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: evolve from here. We've got so much ahead of us

291
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: and every the thing. He's right, mcdermot's right. He brings

292
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: up a great point. He says, listen, we're all one

293
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: big team. I mean, this is you talk about a

294
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: unifying crisis, this is one of them. It is we're

295
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: all being you know, every sickness is. It doesn't care

296
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: how old or young you are, or you know, your

297
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: socioeconomic status or anything. We're all in this together. And

298
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: he brings a really good point in about hey, we've

299
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: all got to do it from wherever you are and

300
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: wherever you're at, you got to be responsible. So I

301
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: think I think it's a it's a great message to

302
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: get out that it really is a unifying crisis that

303
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: we're in. Similar sentiment out today from another popular Buffalo

304
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: Bill's figure, Jim Kelly, Hall of Fame quarterback Steve former teammate,

305
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the show with us at one thirty,

306
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: but he has released this statement today up on social

307
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: media or going up on social media today. Here's Bill's

308
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: quarterback former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly. Everyone, Jim Kelly, here, boy,

309
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: what a time in all of our lives. And I

310
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: know you've probably heard just one hundred times, maybe even

311
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: more than that, but the bomb liners, we all have

312
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: to be safe, we all have to be smart. We're

313
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: all in this together as the Bill's Mafia. We all

314
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: come together, and this is a very important time for

315
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: all of us to do that. So when you're at

316
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: home with your family, watch TV, watch old videos, watch

317
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: old Bill's game, the good ones, of course, but like most,

318
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: you probably have vhster go ahead, throw dot, you might

319
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: have a record raining run somewhere. But the bottom line

320
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: is we're all gonna be smart about this. We're stay positive,

321
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: of course, but stay home, stay safe, stay positive. You know.

322
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: The last thing I can say is go Bills, God

323
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: bless Bill. Bill's quarterback Jim Kelly in his own way

324
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: just kind of I guess it's some more albums, right, Doe,

325
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and Jim Kelly kind of telling people to

326
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: hang in there, don't you think, Steve, Yeah, I think so.

327
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: I think it's a reminder that no one is alone

328
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: in this everybody else is. While we we're all separate,

329
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: we're all the same and it's nice to be reminded

330
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: of that. You've got, you know, and coaches, not Jim

331
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: so much obviously as a retired player in kind of

332
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: a haul famer, but like Sean McDermott, those guys even

333
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: in the off season, Murphy, you know, they grind it out.

334
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: They're in they're in the office, they're watching film, they're

335
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: evaluating things. He's got meetings with different parts of the organization.

336
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: He's like, they've got busy days that they grind away

337
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: in the off season and there they are, like the

338
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: rest of us, stuck at their house. And it really is.

339
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: It does give you some sort of I don't know

340
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: about say comfort, but at least assurance that if you're

341
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: doing the right thing, so were they. And it's it's

342
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: nice to hear. Yeah, as far as the Bills coaches.

343
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 1: I mean they as yesterday were four weeks away from

344
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: the unofficial start of OTAs. Now we don't know what's

345
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: going to happen to that. No official comment on whether

346
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: or that will take place. Unlikely that it will, but

347
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure they were getting their practices planned for OTAs,

348
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: which going to start April twentieth, not like they to

349
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: start now. This bit of Bills news just out in

350
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: the last hour or so. Steve wide receiver exam McKenzie

351
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: has headed back to the Bills. His agents made that

352
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: announcement today. McKenzie was not tendered as a restricted free

353
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: agent earlier this month, but his agents announced today that

354
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: he signed a new deal with a team. No terms announced.

355
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: Bronco's fifth round pick in twenty seventeen came to the

356
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: Bills of waiver claim in November twenty eighteen. Kicks and

357
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: punt returns that year played fifteen games last year, started

358
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: eight of them, finished the year with twenty seven catches

359
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty four yards. So it's Stefan Diggs,

360
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie. Wide receiver group including Robert Foster, Andre Roberts,

361
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: John Brown, Cole Beasley, Duke Williams. Pretty good group. Last week,

362
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: we're after the Diggs trade. We were talking on the

363
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: air about who was in that wide receiver room and

364
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: I guess, although it doesn't seem like much of a

365
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: mistake now, I said, I'm not sure what happened to

366
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: Isam McKenzie and I got roasted by a Twitter followers

367
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: in how could you not know that he was not

368
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: tendered enough for Well he wasn't, but he signed a

369
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: contract today, So I feel better about that mistake. Yeah,

370
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: I think Isaia McKenzie has something to offer this team.

371
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know we knew who the top guys are,

372
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: John Brown, Cob Beasley, Steffan Diggs. What about the bottom

373
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: to foster as Any McKenzie, Duke Williams, Andre Roberts, Where

374
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: does he fit in? I think as Ane McKenzie is

375
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna have something to say about how that group plays out.

376
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: He was a pretty valuable guy and as I said,

377
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: he started, played fifteen games, started eight twenty seven catches.

378
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: His main value last year, Steve may have been, is

379
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: the is the end a round guy, right, the jet

380
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: sweep guy. Yeah, they could hand him the football and

381
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: he'd run with it. And he's and he's you know, fast,

382
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: He's probably as fast as anybody on the roster. And

383
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: he's plus he's good in tight spaces when he's got

384
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, he can turn the corner

385
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: really quick as a as a runner. It was reported

386
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: and I read this today again. You know when he

387
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: was here and he was on a practice squad earlier

388
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: in his career. He's a draft pick of the Broncos

389
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. Bills picked him up in two thousand

390
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: and eighteen, so he's been hanging around this organization since then.

391
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: And he told one of the reports, says, I am

392
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: never going back to the practice squad. He goes because

393
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: I'm like because I'm like a gnat. And as he

394
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: said that in the locker room, Jordan Phillips said, yeah,

395
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: he is. He's a nat. He's the same size, right

396
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and they were kind. He says, no,

397
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm in that because I won't leave you alone, right,

398
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: because he still keeps hanging around, and that you can

399
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: wave at it and get it and make it tough

400
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: on it all the time, but you can't get rid

401
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: of him. And that's what he's like. He never he

402
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: wants to hang around the National Football League. There's something

403
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: to be said for guys who are stubborn in their

404
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: desire to remain on the team, which means they will

405
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: do more than most guys to do that. They'll play

406
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: special teams, they'll they'll practice hard, they'll take reps word.

407
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: You know, they'll do the go the extra mile willingly

408
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: and set a higher bar on the roster than than

409
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: other guys would. And I think Isaiah McKenzie fits that

410
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: strategy perfectly signing another deal to come back. I think

411
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: he likes the vibe here. I think a lot of

412
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: players feel really comfortable in this locker room and in

413
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: this environment. I think it's the best chance they have

414
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: to be their best selves. And like Azaia McKenzie's signing

415
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: a deal here, they know they've got a chance to

416
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: compete for a job and if they earn it, they're

417
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna get it. Yeah. I think it's a good signing

418
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: and I think it's a really strong group at wide

419
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: receiver for the Bills. The Bills wide receiver room includes

420
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: um Well, let's talk Stefan Diggs. It includes Cole Beasley

421
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: John Brown, two very productive receivers last year. It includes

422
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: Robert Foster with a world of potential. It includes Duke Williams,

423
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: same thing, big potential, not much much of a chance

424
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: to play, but he got a chance at the end

425
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: of the year. It includes Andre Roberts, primarily a special teamer,

426
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: and now includes Isah McKenzie. Boys, think of how strong

427
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: that group is compared to let's say a year ago,

428
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: out two years ago, what they hit in the wide

429
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: receiver rights. It's really impressive, really impressive. I agree, And

430
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too. They've got some scoots too. Yeah,

431
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: they've got some guys that can really scoot. John Brown,

432
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs and Isaiah McKenzie can really go, and so

433
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: can and so can Robert Foster. He is very fast.

434
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that he was brought up

435
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: as a rookie free agent four. So they've got enough

436
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: guys that they can spread the field and spread it

437
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: in a big hurry. So that kind of leads us

438
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: right into our Twitter poll today. And we've got phone

439
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: lines open eight oh three five fifty toll free from

440
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: outside Buffalo one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

441
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: Given the moves of the mill the Bills have made

442
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: so far this off season and really primarily the last

443
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: two weeks, trading for Stefan Diggs, resigning Isai McKenzie, keeping

444
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: people around Quentin Spain, et cetera, and some of the

445
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: others they've done. Given the moves the Bills have made

446
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: this off season, how does that change their draft strategy?

447
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: The draft, as we said, now just a month away

448
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: right as of yesterday, a little bit less than a

449
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: month away. What do you think do they have more

450
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: freedom now to draft the best player available? Is that

451
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: a big change? I think it is. Should their focus

452
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: be on the offensive side of the ball now, given

453
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: the fact that they signed those seven free agents and

454
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: most of them are on the defensive side of the ball.

455
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: Is there something else that we're missing right now? Seventy

456
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: three percent of you say the moves of Bills have

457
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: made so far free agency, in the trades, the moves

458
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: they made so far gives them more freedom to draft

459
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: the best player available. They don't draft until fifty four

460
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: second round. Twenty one percent say they should put the

461
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: focus on the offensive side of the ball now, that's

462
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: fair to say, and six percent say something else. Let's

463
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: hear from you. What's Bills the Bills next? Move in

464
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: the offseason personnel acquisition wise, give us a call eight

465
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: oh three five fifteen, toll free one eight eight eight

466
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. If you have a tweet,

467
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: send it in. We'll read them on the tweet sheet.

468
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: Just send it into one Bills Live, or just vote

469
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: on the Twitter poll. All right, Steve, you're good, but

470
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: that what do you think? What do you think the

471
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: moves they made? How's that set them up for the

472
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: rest of the sis? I think it does. It frees

473
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: them up to take the best player available, even if

474
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: the guy is, you know, a defensive back or the like.

475
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: I think it gives them more free them. I don't

476
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: think they'll take a defensive back at fifty four their

477
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: first pick of the draft. I wouldn't put it out

478
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: of the realm of possibility for them to trade around,

479
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: move up, or move down, or move sideways to grab

480
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: some extra picks. But I think it does give him

481
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: a chance now to take a deep breath. They've replaced

482
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: at least and I don't want to play moneyball here,

483
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: but if they've replaced at least statistically the Saxon pressures

484
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: they had last year from Shack Lawson and Jordan Phillips.

485
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: They've replaced those with the three guys they signed with.

486
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: Two of the three guys they signed back, they replaced

487
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: those bodies, and statistically speaking, they've replaced their production as well.

488
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: So right now, you've got to think they feel pretty

489
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: good about it. I think a lot of what they've

490
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: done so far, mirth depends on how good Josh Norman

491
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: can play. If he can still play, this defense may

492
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: be better than it was a year ago, and that's

493
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: saying something. If that's the case, this becomes a team.

494
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: I've already seen some things around around from the best

495
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: websites who do this kind of thing, the over under

496
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: Win Collins. Remember last year when the Bills were picked

497
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: for six wins at this time of year. Yep, they've

498
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: already been picked for nine already this this coming season,

499
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: and that's with a different, more difficult schedule than they

500
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: had last year. I think, man, this is a team

501
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: that's really going to be stacked if if they one

502
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: or two of those guys comes through the way you

503
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: think they could, No, I mean, that's it really looks

504
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: good for this club. So I'm I'm thinking from this draft, Yeah,

505
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: take the best guy there. I don't care what he

506
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: plays and go and go. I agree, I don't put

507
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: as much faith. I don't know if it's faith as

508
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: much Stock and Josh Norman as you might, but for

509
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: the most part, I agree. I look, I think the

510
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: defense can be better even if Josh Norman does not

511
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: make a major contribution, Even if he doesn't make the

512
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: final roster, I think the defense will be better. But

513
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: that's quibbling. A couple of other NFL notes today. The

514
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers expected to release quarterback Am Newton today and

515
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: in a nine year relationship with the twenty fifteen NFL MVP.

516
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: A week ago, they announced they've given in permission to

517
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: seek a trade. No buyers, no takers. He can't get

518
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: a physical, which is part of the problem, and so

519
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: the Panthers are ready to release him. Now They've got

520
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater signed to a three year deal. Man that

521
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: went fast. Bridgewater from NFL MVP like yesterday. I guess

522
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: it was twenty fifteen to out the door. That's amazing, right,

523
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: It's that's a crazy that's crazy, and it just happens though,

524
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: that's how fast it happens. Teams change, things revolve, and

525
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing a lot I think that. I

526
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: don't know, Murph, what are you think. I don't want

527
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: to go off on a tangent here, but man oh man,

528
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: it seems like these teams and a lot of the

529
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: like the Bills, even the Bills, who are a good team,

530
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: this last year, they're evolving really quickly right before our eyes,

531
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: and the landscape has really tumbled. And a lot of

532
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: it is symbolized by the movement from Tom Brady from

533
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: New England down to Tampa Bay. I get that, but

534
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: also with Philip Rivers moving Cam Newton, a former MVP,

535
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: like four years ago, one contract, half a contract to go,

536
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: he was the MVP. It's like it's like Lamar Jackson

537
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: moving or getting cut in two more, three more years. Yeah,

538
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: it's nuts. It's like Mahomes getting cut next year, you know.

539
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy. So that's how fast it happens.

540
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: And injuries do are a lot to that. I get it.

541
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: But man oh man, you've got teams that were really good,

542
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: really good man scraping it off down to the foundation

543
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: and starting to rebuild it from scratch again, just like

544
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: year to year. It's crazy and it's happening a lot

545
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: more in the NFL than it has in decades past.

546
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: And here's one more move I want to make note

547
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: of before we hit the break, and that's um it's

548
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: a guy who spent fourteen seasons with the New England Patriots.

549
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: Stick kicker Stephen Gaskowski released by the New England Patriots.

550
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: Yes last night, I guess lead yesterday. They need more

551
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: salary cap space coming off left hip surgery shortened this

552
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: season just four games last year, but he's been the

553
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: Patriots full time kicker since two thousand and six, Patriots

554
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: off time leading scores of seventeen hundred and seventy five points. Man,

555
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: it's almost more than Brady into Wing than nun When

556
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: you look at the defensive defections they've had, Steve, it's

557
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: a it's a camp issue, and it's almost as if

558
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: they're ready to h I know, you can tell me

559
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: how good to coach Belichick is. I know he is.

560
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: I know he's a good coach. But it's almost like

561
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: they're willing to regroup a little bit. Right. It seems

562
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: that way today. You know what had occurred to me

563
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: while I was reading all this stuff. You know, the Patriots,

564
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: I think Bill Belichick has a real sense of history.

565
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: If you if you watched any of the one hundred

566
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 1: year anniversary programs that he was involved with, picking players

567
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: from past histories. He's a real history buff. He's been

568
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: involved with the league for a long time, and I

569
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: think it means something to him. So having said that,

570
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: I think this the Patriots were on the cusp of

571
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: going to their fourth having a chance to go to

572
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: their fourth super Bowl in a row. Only one of

573
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: the team had ever gone to four super Bowls in

574
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: a row. It's something that he had ever done, even

575
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: in all the success that they had had over the

576
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: twenty years of Tom Brady's career. And I think it

577
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: looks like now with the cap casualties they've had going on.

578
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: And I don't want to make too much of it,

579
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: but they kind of made all They went all in

580
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: with their defense last year, trying to get that to

581
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: carry them through. They tried. They brought in where you

582
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: think about the guys. They brought in Antonio Brown, who

583
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: is an absolute train wreck. Josh Gordon was on the

584
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: roster who was an absolute train wreck. They traded for

585
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu out of desperation, and all of this stuff,

586
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: trying to get to that super Bowl one more time

587
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: before they maybe had to say goodbye to Tom Brady.

588
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: And I think now in these months, maybe we're seeing

589
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of hangover from that effort. Yeah, I

590
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: think you're right. I won't ask you now, but I

591
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: will someday soon. You still think they're gonna win the division?

592
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if they're even interested

593
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: in it. I mean, they take it, but it's us

594
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: as if they're retooling, kind of setting themselves up for

595
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: no question about it. I don't think it's any question

596
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: about it. I still think. I mean, I don't man, man,

597
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: and I don't think like you. I don't know that

598
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has the ego that drives him the way

599
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people think it does, and the way

600
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: they would expect it too if it was a different person.

601
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he's above saying, all right, let's take

602
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: a step back for a year, let's win three, two

603
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: or three games, and let's get that kid, Trevor Lawrence.

604
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: You know, I hit Robert Craft is certainly gonna stick

605
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: with him through a difficult year. Yeah, all right, we're

606
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna take a break here, let's hear from me today.

646
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: this off season. How has that change their draft strategy?

647
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: What do you think? Let's go to some phone calls

648
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: here eight three five fifty toll free one eight eight

649
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty go to Tim and

650
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: north Tonawanda. Hello, Tim, you're on the air. Yeah. I

651
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: think they're all in on a running back situation. Just

652
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: to add a somebody, like a job Taylor. I know

653
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: they looked at that guy from LSU two, but Taylor

654
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: looks really good at what they're doing. Just like your

655
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: opinion on it. Do you think you'd be there a

656
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: second round. I've done about twenty draft simulations and he's

657
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: there when we pick on every simulation that's against the computer,

658
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: and it's their picks. You know. Curious. I like the

659
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: LSU kid, but he's only five to seven. That's like

660
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: a smoke back kid. Who's the LSU kid? Is he

661
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: running back? Clyde something Hill airy? Yeah, like dots are competing, Okay,

662
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hill are yeah? LSU five eight two oh nine.

663
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin five two eighteen. Um, you know the

664
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: Bills don't draft. I don't think they're gonna try to

665
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: get back into the first round, do you, Steve Tasker,

666
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Probably not. No. Um, it would

667
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: take a lot to get up there, particularly what they've got.

668
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: It probably take out of their six picks they have

669
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: left in my take four of them, you know, to

670
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: get from the fifty fourth pick up to thirty two,

671
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: and it'd probably take that fifty fourth pick as well.

672
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: So you're it's a it's a steep price to pay

673
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: to jump that high into the draft and get the guy.

674
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: But if you if you're telling me he's there and

675
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: all these you know, mock drafts, then uh, okay, he's there,

676
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: and it is they've got a chance to get him.

677
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: I'd rather get an offensive lineman at fifty four or wherever.

678
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather get a I'd rather get a receiver, quite frankly,

679
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: than I would a running back. We went through this

680
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: yesterday and even a little bit on Friday. I don't

681
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,959
Speaker 1: think what they have left in the draft, those six

682
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: picks in the draft, um, I don't think they need

683
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: to use one early on, especially on a running back.

684
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: I don't know why people get hung up on that.

685
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand that. I think it's the

686
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: one thing they haven't addressed. You know, they signed a corner,

687
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: they signed traded rush up on Diggs. What are you

688
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: talking about? They haven't addressed it. They've got stuff on Diggs.

689
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm you're talking about why. I'm sorry, I thought you

690
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: said running back. Oh, running back? Okay, Yeah, you're right. Yeah,

691
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: it's the only it's the only thing they haven't they

692
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: haven't addressed. They you know, Digs, they did the edge rushers,

693
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: the interior defensive line, they signed Josh Norman, um so,

694
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: every other issues that we've talked, and they resigned Spain,

695
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, all of that stuff. So I think that's

696
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: the reason it's the only thing on the list people,

697
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: because here's the thing most people fans are if they're

698
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: like me, if I just take it for granted that

699
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: the club sees something in these guys they signed that

700
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: makes them better or gives them a possibility to get better.

701
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: So having said that, the only time that the only

702
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: place they haven't gotten better is the running back spot.

703
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: And plus you know they had t J. Yelden on

704
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: the on the roster last year along with Frank Gore.

705
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to replace that roster spot of Frank Gore,

706
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: and they haven't done it yet. Well, I think they're

707
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: a pretty good running team last year and without much

708
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: of a contribution from Frank Gore. And I think, you know,

709
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary had one hundred and fifty carries last year.

710
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: I think he's good for at least a hundred more

711
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: this year. And I think that's what the Bills are

712
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: counting on. It'll be healthy, you would hope right from

713
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: the start of the season. I'll bet he gets sixty

714
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: to eighty more this year. I mean, he missed four

715
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: games last year, and I think you know, at the

716
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: end of the year he was carrying the bulk of

717
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: the load. I mean, Frank Gore is getting like maybe

718
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: three or four carries a game, right, So I think

719
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: that's what it'll be. I don't know, you know, we

720
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: can project all we want, but you're right. I think

721
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: the guy that's gonna be there's gonna get two hundred

722
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: carries or one hundred and eighty to two hundred carries.

723
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: And if if it's all Devin Singletary, then so be it.

724
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: But I think if they're gonna get a guy, he's

725
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna carry it sometimes. And as we saw last year,

726
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: if one guy starts getting it and starts having success

727
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: getting it. He's gonna get it more. They're gonna handle

728
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: the ball more. Devin's you know, Devin Singletary started playing

729
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: a lot more because he was working it and he

730
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: was playing good. And Frank Gore the Hall of Famer,

731
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: he took a seat. That's just the way they work it.

732
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 1: It's not like they have any grand plan of saying

733
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna get this guy this mini carries and this

734
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: guy this mini carries. The way they work it is this.

735
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: If he gets in there and he starts making chicken

736
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: salad out of chicken something else, he gets the ball

737
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: and so the other guy sits down. That's the way

738
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: they do it. They got I know a lot of

739
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: the media people here in Buffalo started getting well, Frank Gore,

740
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: he only got twelve carries. I think they need to

741
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: get him in three or four, five more carries, because

742
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: I think that's the plan. And they don't have a

743
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: plan like that. They hand the ball off and if

744
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: that guy's got it going on, he keeps getting it

745
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: forget about the other guy. That's the way it always is,

746
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: and that's the way it'll be if they get another

747
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: running back. If that next running back starts doing what

748
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary did last year, he's gonna get more carries.

749
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: So you know they're gonna get the best guy they can,

750
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: no matter what he looks like or his style. Take

751
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: a phone call here from carry on a cell. Hello, Gary,

752
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: you're in the air of this. Go ahead here, guys.

753
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: How y'all doing good? Good? Yeah? Look at the draft?

754
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: Y'all talk about the draft here? Um my ranking? How

755
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: I do like importance with the O line, like you said, John,

756
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: defensive line and running back only is in that round

757
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: there's somebody that's so good that you can't pass the month.

758
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: But I'd like to get a running back like the

759
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: third or fourth, fifth rounds. But if there's a running

760
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: back there, if you can't pass up, I understand it.

761
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: I go along with that, Gary, I would I think, yeah, no,

762
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 1: sooner than third round and maybe not even then. Yeah,

763
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: And I don't know that there's there may be one

764
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: or two running backs in this draft that you might

765
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: possibly construe. And I know we've had people call us, Hey,

766
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: we got this guy. He's a big, huge he's like

767
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: a two forty guys running these four three's We had

768
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: a guy to call him yesterday. I don't know who

769
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: this guy is that was running the forty and fourty

770
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: three at two hundred and forty pounds. I don't think

771
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: that guy exists, but he was. I'm sure he was

772
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: exaggerating to make his point. But there's you know, all

773
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: of us have our favorite running back in the college ranks.

774
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's one that there's a consensus

775
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL player evaluation community that believes there's a

776
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: running back in this draft that is worth jumping up

777
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: to get. Certainly, there's some good running backs in this draft,

778
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of running backs that there's a

779
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: handful of running backs that are better than this other

780
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: handful of running backs. So there's two or three running

781
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: backs that are better than the next handful of running backs.

782
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: Evaluate anyway you want. I don't know that there's that

783
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: many guys out there that teams are going, oh my gosh,

784
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 1: if we get this guy as late as the second round,

785
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: it's a it's a gift. I don't know if there's

786
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: that many guys in this draft like that. I hear you.

787
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: One more call in this segment will go to Paul

788
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: and Hamburg. Hello, Paul, you're on the air. Yeah, I'm

789
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: thinking maybe the Bills are like not really worried about

790
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: a running back too much because they might have a

791
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: sleeper in the house in Christian Wade. I was the

792
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: one also wondering about if the ever heard anything about

793
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: out of the Jaguars about their defensive end that's going

794
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: to be going to free agency. Got Quay, Donking got Quay. Yeah,

795
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: he was franchise tagle. So he's not available right now,

796
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: although he's probably available in the trade. I would not

797
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: be interested in him. I get the interest in Christian Wade. Steve.

798
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: I can't help but thinking what looks to be what

799
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: looks like and I'm just speaking off the cuff here,

800
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: it looks like the offseason conditioning program will be delayed anyway.

801
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: It's supposed to start April twentieth. That's the case. I

802
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: can't help but thinking that's not a plus for Christian Wade. Right.

803
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: They want to see what he is, they want to

804
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: see how he's developed. Yeah, I think it's up to

805
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: him to continue his development that he started last preseason

806
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: and kept going through the regular season. He was on

807
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: the Bills practice squad. He was exempt from from playing,

808
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: but he could practice every day, be in there every day.

809
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: That helps a ton of You can imagine being immersed

810
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: in an NFL team with a kind of ability he

811
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: has natural um. That immersion is really gonna start to

812
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: change his production on the football field and his understanding

813
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: of what he's doing out there. I think he's probably

814
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: made great strides. But if they can't see him because

815
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: they won't have offseason workouts at least on time anyway,

816
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: that's right what they got from Christian. They haven't seen

817
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: him in three months, and that's an eternity, so I

818
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: don't know what he's looking like. And then and then

819
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: you're right, Murph, You're exactly right. This is a crusher

820
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: for guys like Christian Wade. He needs all the reps

821
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: and time in the building he can get, and right

822
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: now he can't get any. So I mentioned Christian Wade.

823
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: I think what last week or something, we were talking

824
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: about running backs, and he may be a guy that

825
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: they're thinking, you know what, we're gonna unfurl this guy

826
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: and he's gonna wow some people. If they believe that, awesome, great.

827
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of the rest of us

828
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: or we're just we're just wishing on stars, you know

829
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: about it. It'd be great if it happened. It'd be fun,

830
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: it'd be a great story and all that. But I

831
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: don't know that the Bills are thinking that, and I

832
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: have no reason to believe they are, other than the

833
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: fact that we want them to. Right, we've got a breakcare.

834
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: We're back with more One Bill's Life, presented by Klatt

844
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: and I think it's interesting. And you know, the Bills

845
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: have been pretty busy right with free agents and of

846
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: course a big Stephan Digg's trade over the last eight

847
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: days or so. Given the moves the Bills have made

848
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: the season. How does that change their draft strategy? A?

849
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: Does it give them more freedom to draft the best

850
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: player available? Be does it put the focus on the offensives,

851
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: oide of the ball or sea is there's something else?

852
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: Let's hear from yet eight O three five fifty toll

853
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

854
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: Let's read some of the tweets from the tweet cheap

855
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: Rocky by Corrigan Moving Systems the official movers of the

856
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills from Sean, being able to draft best player

857
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: available has been their model. They should address needs in

858
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: free agency in some form and draft best player available

859
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: so they can contribute as soon as possible. Steve, I've

860
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: been thinking about this since I read this tweet a

861
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: minute ago. Have they adhered to the best player available

862
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: model in the draft so far? Was Josh Allen the

863
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: best player available at number seven a couple of years ago?

864
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't. Look, we have a small universe

865
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 1: to deal with, just three drafts. I guess was Josh

866
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: Allen best player available? Or they really need a quarterback

867
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: last year? I don't know. It's hard for me to

868
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: argue that being able to draft the best player available

869
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: has been their model. I know they'd like that to

870
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: always be the case, but I think this year they

871
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: might have finally the freedom to do just that. Yeah.

872
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: I know that they draft the best quarterback they thought

873
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: was available at that time. They had gotten in to

874
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 1: a group of quarterbacks there and we all know the names. Um,

875
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, Darnold Mayfield, Alan Rosen, and Lamar Jackson all

876
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: taken in the first round, all quarterbacks. So they took

877
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: the one they wanted. They were trying to get it.

878
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: They got up into the top part of the draft

879
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: to do that, and they did. Well. He wasn't the best.

880
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. You'd have to go back and look

881
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: at the draft list to see that. But I do

882
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: think this, here's the thing. They whether they've gotten the

883
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: best player available, or the best player at a certain

884
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: position need at that point, or whatever, I will say this,

885
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: I've really been impressed with the consistency with which they've

886
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: gotten contributors. Uh, certainly at this point, you and I agreed,

887
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Tremaine Edmonds or exactly who they thought they

888
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: were gonna be. Uh, certainly, both of them have have had,

889
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, deficiencies and things they had to work on.

890
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: But man, both of them have working on it. Both

891
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: of them have shown great improvement. Tremaine Edmonds is on

892
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: his way to be a guy that Bill Spans are

893
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: going to be looking at for over a decade. In

894
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: the middle of their defense, Josh Allen took a took

895
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: a big step from year one to year two as

896
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: a quarterback you'd like to see in all the right

897
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: statistical categories and not at least important in the category

898
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: of wins. So I think this coaching staff and this

899
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,479
Speaker 1: front office staff have done the best part and maybe

900
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: best player available, maybe maybe not, But I know this.

901
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: They have gotten a lot of contributions and done a

902
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: good job of getting guys they liked in the draft

903
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: and have paid off, no question about that. I'm just

904
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: looking at that first round twenty eighteen, first round, and

905
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: Josh obviously was picked number seven. Roquan Smith came coming

906
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: right after him to the Bears. Pretty good player he

907
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: might have, he might You can make an argument he

908
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: was best player available. Dolphins got to make it. Fitzpatrick

909
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: at picked number eleven, you can make him an argument.

910
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't know all I'm saying. I'm picking nitz there,

911
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm not prepared to say that. Sean say,

912
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: being able to draft the best player available has been

913
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: their model. They've drafted for need with a quarterback last year.

914
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: You know they really needed at Oliver to replace Kyle Williams,

915
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: and he happened to be there when they drafted all

916
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: Right from Fisher and answer to our question, given the

917
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: offseason moves, how does that change the Bill's draft strategy.

918
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: Fisher says I almost went with B which is focused

919
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: on offense, but says I think that choice A is

920
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: pretty much the same. I believe the best value in

921
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: round two is an offensive player. Anyway, Isaiah Wilson could

922
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: still be there to pick fifty four, so could Acres

923
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 1: or Dobbins. The closer we get the more on with, okay,

924
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: with drafting another stud running back, closer we get them all.

925
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: I'm okay with drafting an offensive lineman, Steve so we

926
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: can ever opinion. That's I think that's what's coming down

927
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: to for Meat as well and Just and I don't

928
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: think it has to do with offense or defense. I

929
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: just think, well, I think it has to do with

930
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: That's where the Bills needs are. They need more depth

931
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: at those spots, and I think he looked back at

932
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: last year, Murph think of the think of the dire

933
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: straits they were in last year where it came to

934
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: their offensive line. They had to get better in their

935
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 1: offensive line. Their offensive line in twenty eighteen was horrendous

936
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: and they had to go out and sign guys and

937
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: draft guys and by hook or Crook get better up front.

938
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: I think they feel better about where they're at now,

939
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: as you can see by resigning Quentin Spain and going

940
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: into this season with mostly this at least the top

941
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: six guys that end of the season if you count

942
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: Spencer Long and Tie and Secid ould be seven. I

943
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: just think, wow, that they were in such dire straits

944
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, they took some guys because of their

945
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: needs last year rather than best player available, and they

946
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: were right to do it. Look at what happened to

947
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: their defense. They were fine, Ed Oliver they got okay,

948
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: But the other two guys later on the draft, Roquan

949
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: not Roquan, the safety they took in the linebacker they

950
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: took this last year, they didn't contribute all that much

951
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: because that defense was so good. So I think and

952
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: that if you look at that from that, if that

953
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: way shape or form best player available or the player

954
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: that's best suited to their needs, maybe they see that

955
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more closely than we do. Right. And

956
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing, and this just to the Twitter poll

957
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: today's question, I think that they have moved closer to

958
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: being able to draft the best I mean, the only

959
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: thing I'm I'm picking knits about as people who say

960
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: that's always been their strategy best player available, I don't

961
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 1: know if it has. And I'm saying now they might

962
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: be closer to being able to do that given some

963
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: of the moves they've made in the last week. That's

964
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: all right. It might not be there. It may not

965
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 1: be their strategy. It may be their wish right, maybe

966
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: their ultimate goal. But I just don't think they've been

967
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: able to do that quite yet. And I think they

968
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: can do that this year. All Right, We got a

969
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: break here when we come back. Andrew Catalan, Steve's former

970
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: partner on CBS, really a busy typically a busy CBS

971

972
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: he Steve didn't he have a hold or two on

973
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: the Masters last year, the live Web broadcasting Masters, and

974
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: has done a really good job in last year for

975
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: some of the PGA tournaments. He took over for Jim

976
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: Nance in the booth of the eighteenth Tower with the

977
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: Nick Faudo, did an outstanding job. He's great, even though

978
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: it's where that's going this year. Andrew Catalan, who does

979
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: the Bills preseason, does a couple of Bills games a

980
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: year for the NFL on CBS, does golf as we said,

981
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: and of course does NCAA tournament basketball. Andrew Catalan, when

Speaker 1: in the Seneca studio today. Once again we're home. This

984
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio got the update today from One

985
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Wide receiver Isaia McKenzie has headed back to

986
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. He was not tendered as a restricted

987
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: free agent earlier this month, but his agents announced that

988
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: Ada McKenzie has signed a new deal with a team

989
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: no terms announced. Former Bronco's fifth round draft pick in

990
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, came to the Bills as a waiver claim

991
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. Played fifteen games last year, started eight

992
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: of them, with twenty seven catches, two hundred and fifty

993
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: four yards and a touchdown. He hands, too, were crowded

994
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: and pretty talented wide receiver room for the Bills. McKenzie,

995
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: along with Stefan Diggs, John Brown, Cole Beasley, Duke Williams,

996
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts, Robert Foster, pretty talented group for the Bills

997
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 1: in the wide receiver room now with the addition of

998
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: Isaia McKenzie. Carolina Panthers expected to release quarterback Cam Newton today,

999
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: according to sources, ending a nine year relationship with the

1000
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen NFL MVP. A week after the announced they

1001
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: had given him permission to seek a trade. Newton disputed

1002
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: he sought permission for a trade. He said the Panthers

1003
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: coursed him into it. The Panthers have gone on to

1004
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: signing Teddy Bridgewater to a three year deal, and now

1005
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: today Cam Newton expected to be released. Panthers also traded

1006
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: quarterback backup quarterback Kyle Allen to Washington lead yesterday and

1007
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: signed p J Walker out of the XFL. Alan had

1008
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: a number of starts last year when Newton got hurt,

1009
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: and he's an undrafted free agent out of Houston. He

1010
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: knows Washington coordinator Scott Turner's offense and should be able

1011
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: to add something to the Washington quarterback room. The Patriots

1012
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: have released kicker Stephen Guskowski, ending his tenure with the

1013
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: team after fourteen seasons. It's a move that helps the

1014
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: salary cap strap team create more space, but leaves a

1015
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: notable void at the position in the wake of the

1016
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: global pandemic, and all NFL related physicals have been immediately discontinued.

1017
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: The president of the NFL Physician Society said in a

1018
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: letter to the league and the Players Association that free

1019
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: agents and draft prospects will not be examined until after

1020
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: the health crisis has passed. The agent for Washington left

1021
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: tackle Trent Williams claims the organization is not acting in

1022
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: good faith, demanding once again that he need to be

1023
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: traded or released. And the Tokyo Olympics have been officially

1024
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: postponed until twenty twenty one. The announcement coming this morning

Speaker 1: well it's been Uh, it's been obviously unique and different,

1061
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: but again, priority number one is staying healthy. So how

1062
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: how much have you been able to keep up with

1063
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and they're they're moves in free agency

1064
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: and the trade they made for Stefan Diggs. Well, we

1065
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: had a lot of tools to keep up with them.

1066
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: And I'm happy to see. I always up talking about

1067
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: the Bills, and uh, I love what they've done. I

1068
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: mean you guys going up, you know, being and the

1069
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,720
Speaker 1: job he's done along with on the tournament and everyone

1070
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: there was still and I think Brandon's playing again. As

1071
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: has really panned out so well so far, with still

1072
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 1: the draft to come. I'm still some free agents out

1073
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: there as well. But yeah, obviously the headline movement Diggs,

1074
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: I love it. I think it's a great move for

1075
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I think the offense now a little bit

1076
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: of top three watch receivers, the offensive line coming back.

1077
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different weapons for Josh Allen. And

1078
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, I also really liked the Mario Addison move.

1079
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 1: I did a Panthers game last year and then studying

1080
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: up on them. He was one guy that really stuck

1081
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 1: out to me on tape. Luke Keickley was still there

1082
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: at the time before retiring, but Addison was a guy

1083
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: that really caught my eye. And I think, you know,

1084
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: with everything going going out in the world right now,

1085
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady spoke about this on his press conference

1086
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: about an hour ago, you know, Tom Brady saying, I

1087
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: gotta play a lot of catch up. I gotta get

1088
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: up to speed really quick, which is going to be

1089
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: very difficult with everyone separated. So what I really like

1090
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 1: about the Bills is the continuity that they're going to

1091
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: be bringing back and knowing that system and so many

1092
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: of the same faces in this season especially, I think

1093
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: that's really going to serve them well. Andrew Cantel and

1094
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: our guests from the NFL on CBS. Andrew, I mean,

1095
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you've done more than an occasional Minnesota Vikings

1096
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: game over the last few years. What are your impressions

1097
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: of Stefan Diggs. What kind of a receiver did the

1098
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: Bills get in steph Hunt Diggs. Well, I think he's

1099
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: electric most I think that there's really nothing he can't do. Obviously,

1100
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: he's probably has a great route runner, which I think

1101
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: will really work well with Ross Alan. Uh. You know.

1102
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: Beyond that, I think that he's a guy that really

1103
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: commands that attention from the defense when when opposing defensive coordinator,

1104
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, number One, how do we stop Jefon Diggs?

1105
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: And that's not something they've had over the pred years.

1106
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: Now they do. When he moved John Brown down to

1107
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: the second spot. N Beasley, who obviously had a great

1108
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: connection with Alan last year in the slot, I just

1109
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: think it's one more weapon that the Bills have now,

1110
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: and he's a really good weapon. Number One Wider sever

1111
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. You just mentioned the conference call

1112
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady had his first as a member of

1113
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. Um, what do you how do you think

1114
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: his movement over to the NFC changes the entire landscape

1115
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: of the conference, let alone the AFC East. Yeah, that's

1116
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: just wild, Steve. I mean, I did not expect that.

1117
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: I thought he was floating teams and they end up

1118
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: going back to New England. I think a lot of

1119
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: people probably felt that way. But here we are, and

1120
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, from a Buffalo perspective, to me, they're the

1121
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: favorites to win the AFC East. I don't think New

1122
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: England will take this drastic step back because truth Gale

1123
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: Brady did not have a lights out year last year

1124
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna have a lot of pieces coming back.

1125
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: But that said, I still think this makes Buffalo the

1126
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: favorite now. And from a Bill's perspective, I think that

1127
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: they got to go in with that mentality if they're

1128
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: the team to beat, that that they that they can

1129
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: go and take that tudle away from New England. And

1130
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: you know, knowing the culture that Sean mcgerman has put

1131
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: in place, I expect that this Buffalo team will be

1132
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: ready to rally and win the division. Is that a

1133
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: lot to ask Andrews. Some people, including the third guy

1134
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: in the lane here, seem tasker, expect the Patriots to

1135
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: be competitive again. Is that a lot to ask the

1136
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: Bills to, you know, you basically have annointed them as

1137
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: the successors to the throne that the Patriots may be

1138
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: ready to va Kate. Yeah, No, I think New England

1139
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: is still gonna win eight noways, I'll just think right now,

1140
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: this Buffalo team, again, there's a lot of ways to go,

1141
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: but they're ten eleven win team. I think that they're

1142
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: better than New England. I don't think it's going to

1143
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: be a runaway. I don't think the Bills are gonna

1144
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, clinch on Thanksgiving. But I think they're better

1145
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: than New England right now. And there's still a lot

1146
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: of question marks going forward in the offseason, but I

1147
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: think that this Buffalo team has proven that with what

1148
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: they have coming back on defense, with the addition of

1149
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: Gigs and the other pre agents. We'll see what happens

1150
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: in the draft. Again, we're sitting here in late March,

1151
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,439
Speaker 1: but I would put them as the favorites to win. Yeah.

1152
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, and last year, the Bills and

1153
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: a lot of the you know, the gaming sites were picked.

1154
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: They're over under was six wins or six and a

1155
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: half wins. Murph and I both were very optimistic they

1156
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: were going to outdo that, which they did obviously this

1157
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: year it's nine wins. And but the schedule says a

1158
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: lot about it. We all know that, you know, some

1159
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: teams struggle with good teams, and other teams struggle with everybody,

1160
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: and some teams don't struggle with anybody. But the Bills

1161
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: are gonna They've got Seattle, San Francisco, the Rams in

1162
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: Arizona next year. They've got Pittsburgh and Tennessee on their schedule,

1163
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: along with you know, the New England, the Patriots, the Dolphins,

1164
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: and the Jets. I mean, they've got a really rough schedule,

1165
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: or at least on the surface, you know, from here

1166
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: in March before these teams take shape, You've got both

1167
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: teams that were in the Super Kansas City they've got

1168
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: on their schedule. You've got, you know, both teams in

1169
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and all the teams from maybe the

1170
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: most competitive division in the league next year in the

1171
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: NFC West, on the Bill schedule. How much of an

1172
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: effect is gonna have on their ability to be one

1173
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: of the seven teams now in the AFC playoff bracket. Yeah,

1174
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: it's a great point. I mean, that's obviously harry tough

1175
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: schedule they're off coming up, but obviously the patients off

1176
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: to play a lot of those same teams. And you know,

1177
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: this Buffalo team, to me, is ready to take the

1178
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: next step. I just can't say enough about Bean and

1179
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: McDermott and what they have put together. And this is

1180
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: this is part of their plan, this is part of

1181
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: their process, and you know, I think they're ready to

1182
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: go and tow to toll with those teams you just mentioned. Again,

1183
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's gonna be a runaway. I'm not

1184
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: producing Buffalo to go fourteen two, but I think they're

1185
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna get more than nine wins. I think they are

1186
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: going to win the division. I think this team is

1187
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: talented enough to make a deep run. I mean, look,

1188
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: last year they were ahead of schedule. I really thought

1189
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: that they were gonna, you know, with that wild card,

1190
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: and they ended up, you know, kind of taking it

1191
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: pretty early in the game. And then obviously we know

1192
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: what happened in the playoffs. But I think that playoffic

1193
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: school will for them well the continuity will be a

1194
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: big soccer, especially in fifth NFL season, and I really

1195
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: feel the ready to take that next step on the

1196
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: line with Andrew Catalan, does Bill's preseason play by playing?

1197
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Does the NFL on CBS play by play? Andrew your

1198
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on if there is a season? I think there

1199
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: will be a seven game field in each conference for

1200
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: the for the postseason. What will that do to the

1201
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: race of the playoffs and what'll it do for the

1202
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: race of the number one overall seat? It could be

1203
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: kind of fun, right, Yeah. You know, I was very

1204
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: hesitant when baseball changed its playoff format and brought in

1205
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: the wild card teams, and I took it myself as

1206
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: kind of an old school traditionalist. But you know, I

1207
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of positives to it.

1208
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: You've had teams that it stay in the hunt a

1209
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: lot longer. The trade deadline becomes a little more interesting. Um.

1210
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: I think the football can have a similar result from

1211
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: what the baseball bay. You know, I think there's gonna

1212
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: be a lot more meaningful games in late November and December.

1213
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Teams are not gonna hunt away as easily. Maybe at

1214
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. I think there's gonna be a lot

1215
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: more excitement later in the year. And as you said, Murph,

1216
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: for a number one team now such a priority that

1217
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, week seventeen, when off the teams don't even

1218
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: play their starters, You're not going to see that anymore.

1219
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, teams are gonna be going for it in

1220
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: that last week of the year. So I like to

1221
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: move And again, I think I like it a lot

1222
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: because of how I saw it unfolded with baseball, which

1223
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: I know is a friend Steve's favorite sport. But I

1224
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: really this will help the NFL even more. What do

1225
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: you think about long term in the seventeen game schedule.

1226
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: I know that it means a little bit of a

1227
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: couple extra weeks of work for you guys on the

1228
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 1: network side of it, we're traveling around. But also, I mean,

1229
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:46,959
Speaker 1: you guys didn't get a break last year when teams

1230
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: are on the by you guys are still doing your jobs.

1231
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Now you've got another game, it'll be an eighteen game schedule.

1232
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: How do you think that will change things? Not only

1233
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: for you know, the league as a competitive you know,

1234
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: as a competitive environment, but also you know, television rights

1235
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 1: and the CBA and all the things that we've been

1236
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: going through over the last month. How is it going

1237
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: to be a vast difference for most casual fans. I

1238
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: don't think the casual fan will notice much of the

1239
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: different side. I think we just put a lot of

1240
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: polvision roads coming up, and now you've got these extra

1241
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 1: playoff games, and certainly that's that's a lot more that

1242
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, you're throwing to the into the table right

1243
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: now as they get sick to negotiate. So that certainly

1244
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: will change the landscape a little bit. But you know,

1245
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: if you're a football fan and the one that's the

1246
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: regular season game, you might you might have it with

1247
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, and you know, President's weekend eventually line up,

1248
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: so you might get the day after the super Bowl

1249
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: off one of these times. So I think there's a

1250
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: lot to like if you're a fan. I mean, the

1251
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: more football the better. And and you're Cattle and our guests,

1252
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: it's John Murphy's keen tasker. This is one Bills Live

1253
01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: Andrew here comes a coronavirus question. If you to think now,

1254
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: have you given any thought to the landscape of sports

1255
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: and what might be going on your uh in your network?

1256
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Can maybe you know big time sports in general, what

1257
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: do you think. Yeah, that's a lot of time to

1258
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: think about gold gloom. And you know, I don't think

1259
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: anybody really has the answer. I mean I could sit

1260
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: here and guests, I don't know anything. Um, but you know,

1261
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be different. I certainly think when

1262
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: when it first comes back, it's gonna have to be

1263
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 1: a slow, gradual process. Um. You know, they've already kind

1264
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: of hinted at, you know, offseason activities going away. I

1265
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: hope there's a training camp. I hope the season starts

1266
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: on time, and they have to be some type of

1267
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: training camp before the season eventually starts. I hope that's,

1268
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, the normal time frame. I mean, I think

1269
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: we all want to get back to normal as quickly

1270
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: as we can. But with that said, you know that

1271
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: there might you know, maybe we don't say cans anymore.

1272
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe for a while, to be careful,

1273
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think that hopefully we get

1274
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: through this sooner than later. But as we said at

1275
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: the beginning of this phone call, help basically comes first,

1276
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: and I'm sure the NFL and the teams and the

1277
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: stadiums will do everything they can to make sure that

1278
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 1: it is a priority because it has to be in

1279
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: today's day. For most of us, Andrew, we think about

1280
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: the preseason the NFL football, it's like it's horrible football.

1281
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: They're guys playing that we don't know or care about.

1282
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: For me, it's always my chance to work with you.

1283
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 1: You always come in town, We hang out a little bit,

1284
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: We have a few pops, you know. And now in

1285
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: two years they're gonna cut one of those preseason games off.

1286
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: It's big season will start, I guess, exactly the same

1287
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: time it has always started. They will extend the back

1288
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: end of the football season rather than moving it forward.

1289
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: How do you think that all? And how do you

1290
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: think that plays into the landscape, if at all, I

1291
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: mean the preseason they're tinkering with the schedule. Is it

1292
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna Do you think the league will suffer? Maybe at all?

1293
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: Over all the tinkering with the schedule and the new

1294
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: formats and all the seems like when you talk about it,

1295
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: there's so many things. It seems like an upheaval. But

1296
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: I still don't know that it's going to be that

1297
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: big a blip on the radar. Well, first of all,

1298
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: if there's one less preseason game, can I still come

1299
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: to your house and eat your food on the weekend

1300
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: that I'm supposed to be there, because I'm really absolutely

1301
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: if you're always welcome. Um. I think that's a good point,

1302
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: especially this year. I think that, you know, if they're

1303
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, if we do have the normal training camp

1304
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: and preseason that you know, with all the off season

1305
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: activities that went away, I feel like the preseason is

1306
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: arguably the most important it will ever be this summer

1307
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: because teams have missed so much time together. I think

1308
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: you see the players going probably a lot longer than

1309
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: they would use pumps. So, you know, I think that

1310
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: as we've seen with the preseason, and again I love

1311
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: doing it with you guys and being around the Bills,

1312
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: and you know, we kind of know the formula now

1313
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 1: that the first game it's a quarter, the second game

1314
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,959
Speaker 1: it's maybe into the second quarter, third game is the half,

1315
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: and then the fourth game it's it's you know, it's

1316
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: really none the one. So I still think that's like

1317
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 1: there's three games that they can they can figure out

1318
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: a way, and it stood that the reps they need

1319
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 1: to make that work. I'll certainly miss being up there,

1320
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: which one last game, but as long as I can

1321
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: still eat your food, then absolutely absolutely you know what

1322
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: I really miss and you can respond to this or

1323
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: not whatever you feel like. But this past weekend it

1324
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: hit home to me. I was watching watch a little

1325
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: bit of Duke in Kansas and Laytner's famous turnaround shot.

1326
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: I watch a little bit of Michigan beating Kansas on

1327
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: Trey Burke's bomb three point bomb, send them to overtime.

1328
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: I really miss the NCAA Tournament on CBS. UM, and

1329
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's just unfortunate. There's so many

1330
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 1: great moments, much of them having to do with the

1331
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of unheralded mid majors with twenty four

1332
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: wins knocking off some big name schools. That's always fun

1333
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: in the first two rounds. A lot of it has

1334
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: to do with just players you've never heard of making

1335
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: the name for themselves. I think, Um, I think I'm

1336
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: speaking as a sportsman general. I really think that's that's

1337
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: been missed, at least through the first weekend. Yeah, I

1338
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: couldn't agree more. And I did my lost college basketball game,

1339
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: Mark seventh id the Mountain West Championship game on CBS.

1340
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: It was a Saturday and that was my last game

1341
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: until I was supposed to go to Gapy to do

1342
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: the first four and then on to the first and

1343
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: second rounds of the NCAA tournament. So when I took

1344
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: the headset off Saturday, March seventh, there was no way

1345
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: in the world I thought that was the last college

1346
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: basketball game I was gonna call this year. And just

1347
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: it's amazing how quickly things have changed. You know, I

1348
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: think we all really missed the NCAA tournament. I know

1349
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: I do. And then for us at CBS, I mean,

1350
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 1: we're a couple of weeks away from what was supposed

1351
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: to be the Masters as well, and I think that

1352
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: Bat'll certainly set in that week as well, especially if

1353
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: the weather is good and we're itching to watch him golf.

1354
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: So look, it's it's our new normal for now. But

1355
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: I think that we got to stay positive, stay healthy,

1356
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: and hopefully we're we're talking about real football games here

1357
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: very soon. And great talking to you, man, You're you're

1358
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:03,960

Speaker 1: barley and might listen. I know a lot of people

1377
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: don't cook, and I don't cook very much. My wife

1378
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: she goes a lot of things. She's got a couple

1379
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 1: of soup recipes that are off the charts, and uh,

1380
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: I just it's pretty cool when she does that. So

1381
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: she did it, and I was kind of sneaking it

1382
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: in between questions with Andrew Cavalans direct. I'm gonna have

1383
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna have some soup today. My wife just

1384
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,879
Speaker 1: came down and finished it off. Left over from Saturday,

1385
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: kind of a chicken and chill out of soup that

1386
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: was really good we had Saturday. We had a little

1387
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: left over, but it's gone now. I know. I got

1388
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: I before, well, actually right at the beginning of our

1389
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: of our you know self sequester um, I made a

1390
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: big vat at chili and we put it in freezer

1391
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: bag and we freeze it, so I once in a

1392
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: while I'll pull out a bag. I made it this

1393
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 1: last batch, and every batch is different from me because

1394
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a a kind of a cooked by

1395
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: field kind of guy, you know. And man, this last

1396
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: batch was awesome. So I'm looking at I'm full as

1397
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: I can be right now because i just had like

1398
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: two bowls of this soup. But I'm thinking about that

1399
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: chili now too, chili left over from last Thursday and Friday.

1400
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: You know what I did, You know what I did

1401
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: last We did last night. I didn't mention at the

1402
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 1: start of the show. We was kind of talking about

1403
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: what we did yesterday. We were out, Uh, my son

1404
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: and his wife were expecting twins any minute theoretically, and

1405
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: so we were out at there. How we're helping them

1406
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: get their house together for the twins. Right, they already

1407
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: have a little boy. So we're there over there, and

1408
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 1: that's really the only place we go. We go there,

1409
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: and we go to my other son's house and then

1410
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: here and that's about all we travel and do. And

1411
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: on the way home, taco truck was out, and so

1412
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, you can take have takeout and I guess

1413
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 1: it's you know, right, So we stopped and had the

1414
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,600
Speaker 1: taco truck last night and you know, left him a

1415
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: hefty tip for being out and saying thank you and

1416
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: all of that. But it was an empty street and

1417
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: they were all they were very lonely standing there in

1418
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 1: that taco but we didn't and it was good. It

1419
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,879
Speaker 1: was good stuff. That's in fact, you a chicken Chlada

1420
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: soup made me think of that and tacos last night.

1421
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm just eass hey, Jim Kelly scheduled we with us.

1422
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 1: We hope to hear from him soon. The Bill's Hall

1423
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 1: of Fame Quarterbacks got a message for Bill's fans about

1424
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: being strong during the current tough times. In the meantime,

1425
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll remains up. Given the moves the Bills

1426
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: have made this offseason, how does that change their draft strategy? Look,

1427
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: they've they've They've traded for a major wide receiver in

1428
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs. They've signed the seven free agent six of

1429
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: them on defense, They've brought back Jordan Poyer, Quentin Spain,

1430
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 1: Dean Marlowe, and today Isam McKenzie. Now what are they

1431
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: doing the draft? Is their draft staffugy different? Do they

1432
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 1: have more freedom to draft the best player available? Seventy

1433
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 1: three percent of you say that's the key. Should they

1434
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,759
Speaker 1: focus now on the offensive side of the ball? Twenty

1435
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: one percent say that's it? Six percent something else in mind.

1436
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: Call us up, let us know what you think. We'd

1437
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: love to hear your voice. Eight o three oh five

01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: made in the last week and a half, what's next?

1441
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, what should their draft strategy change? Let's hear

1442
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: from eight three five fifty toll free one eight eight

1443
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,600
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. Let's go back to

1444
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,599
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems,

1445
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, I got one.

1446
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: She's a guess, a good one from Tiffany. They paved,

1447
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 1: she says, they paved the way to add talent overneed.

1448
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 1: In my opinion, they end up with four talented players,

1449
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 1: using their additional picks to maneuver around the twenty twenty

1450
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: draft and possibly trading picks this year for future considerations.

1451
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 1: So she's thinking, just get four players out of these

1452
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 1: six players that they're gonna draft, maybe trade a couple

1453
01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 1: of trade up a couple of spots, maybe flip flop

1454
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: with some teams. I get it. They have made it easier.

1455
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: And this is our Twitter pools all about. They've made

1456
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 1: it easier for themselves just to get the best guy,

1457
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,759
Speaker 1: get four towns of guys who can make an NFL

1458
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 1: roster a good NFL roster, rather than taking a flyer

1459
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: on some player that may or may not be able

1460
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: to make it in the NFL. I think it's a

1461
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 1: good way to go. I agree with that. Here's here's

1462
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: what they've got left in the draft or left to

1463
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: using the draft. They have their second round or fifty

1464
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 1: fourth overall. They have a third rounder, they have a

1465
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: fourth rounder, one fourth rounder, one third rounder, one fifth rounder,

1466
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 1: and two sixth rounders. So how many of that group

1467
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 1: are going to be on the roster this year? I

1468
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: don't know. You get beyond the fourth round, and it's

1469
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 1: always a difficult proposition. Maybe more practice squad. They've got

1470
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 1: three picks in the fifth and sixth round, so that

1471
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: may play into tiffany strategy to use to maneuver around

1472
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, maybe they can move up in the

1473
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 1: second round. Maybe they can move up to get a

1474
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: good offensive lineman in the second round, a really good

1475
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: quality offensive linement in second round by backaging up their

1476
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: fourth fifth or one of their or both of their

1477
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: sixth rounders. I'm all about I'm all about moving up

1478
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: they get an offensive line. I'm with you, Murf. I've

1479
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 1: I've been harpening on at the entire time of this offseason. Certainly,

1480
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: they signed Quentin Spain. Awesome, they and their line was

1481
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: much improved last year. I think they need to take

1482
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: another step forward. I really think they need to get

1483
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 1: better on their offensive line, more solidified, and I think

1484
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: maybe they think that way. I don't know if they do.

1485
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: Certainly I don't know more than they do. So I

1486
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: think it's going to be interesting to see the tag

1487
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 1: because I think now and I think it's a good

1488
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: thing for the bill Hills Murph and see if you

1489
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: fall I think about it the way I do. It's

1490
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: probably good for the Bills right now because other teams

1491
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: probably cannot anticipate what they're gonna do with that fifty

1492
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: fourth draft pick or any of those draft picks. They

1493
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: can't anticipate a need for the Bills, and which makes

1494
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: it more likely or whatever likely the teams will say, listen,

1495
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: we've got to get ahead of Buffalo at fifty four.

1496
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: We've got to do this because Buffalo needs this. They

1497
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: don't know who Buffalo is gonna take. And if, of course,

1498
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: if they were higher than fifty four, if they were

1499
01:14:58,160 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: that twenty second spot, that would be a much better

1500
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 1: proposition than it is at fifty four. Another tweet on

1501
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet from Jack he says he's going with

1502
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: option A. He said, it's freedom to take the best

1503
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: athlete available. The team still has needs, but no hole

1504
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 1: is so great that they need to reach or feel

1505
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,679
Speaker 1: pigeonholed into a position. I bet defensive end, wide receiver,

1506
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: cornerback could be spots. They'll look to add developmental guys

1507
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:23,640
Speaker 1: from a deep class. But you can't rule out right

1508
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: tackle either. Yeah, I don't think you can rule out

1509
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: any offensive linement, especially with that second round. I mean,

1510
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 1: second round, fifty fourth overall, you could draft to tackle

1511
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: who could start. I think beyond that it's an iffy

1512
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: proposition third round and beyond, But in the second round,

1513
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: if they're predisposed to go for an offensive linement, see,

1514
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: they could get a starter in the second round of

1515
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: fifty four overall. I believe what do you think? Absolutely?

1516
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: I think that's that's gonna If you're drafting fifty fourth overall,

1517
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 1: you're getting a guy that, at least as a young

1518
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 1: player rookie, is gonna get rotated in and get a

1519
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: chance to compete for a starting job. I think that's

1520
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,120
Speaker 1: the philosophy. I think that's what you know. Yeah, to

1521
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: think about it that high in the draft, you'ren't talking

1522
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 1: about maybe just just barely outside the top fifty college

1523
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,640
Speaker 1: players in the country, and maybe, depending on how the

1524
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: draft falls, maybe one of the top ten offensive linemen

1525
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 1: in the country coming out in the draft. So yeah,

1526
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: I think you gotta think that guy's going to be

1527
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: able to contribute, going to be a solid pro, and

1528
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: we'll compete even on the line that's as established as

1529
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills is after a full year together and

1530
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: bringing back the same five guys. I think if you

1531
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:28,719
Speaker 1: get a guy fifty four, he's going to be somewhere

1532
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:30,560
Speaker 1: along the lines of a Cody Ford, a guy that

1533
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: you think, all right, well if he if he comes

1534
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: in and meshes real quick, he could play and play

1535
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 1: play a lot for us. Cody Ford last year was

1536
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 1: thirty eighth picks. So what's that half a draft fourteen pick? Yeah,

1537
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: half a draft round fourteen picks. Yeah. One more from

1538
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:50,639
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet to our question, Now that you've seen

1539
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: what the Bills have done last week, what you should

1540
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: do draft strate as you change, Thomas says, in my opinion,

1541
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: take the best available. Specific needs a defensive end, offensive line,

1542
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 1: and running back. Need to get younger on the edges

1543
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: and find replacements for older starters on the offensive. Lind

1544
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 1: the need is for younger players and the groom eventual

1545
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: starters running back to compliments Singletary, Uh, that really doesn't.

1546
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: That doesn't narrow it down a lot of you know,

1547
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you take the best player available. Certainly they've

1548
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: got needs all over, you know, on both fronts, but

1549
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 1: you know in the running back they have not addressed yet. Uh.

1550
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: And you're right, Jerry Hughes Trent Murphy are getting a

1551
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: little bit older and longer in the tooth. Uh. But

1552
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: by the same token, you know Mario Addison as a

1553
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: guy that he's got some years on him as well.

1554
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to when when you're talking

1555
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: about developing young players, certainly your draft picks are who

1556
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: you're talking about. But here's the thing. In today's NFL.

1557
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 1: With free agency, they're going to be able to fill

1558
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: in with quality, solid NFL players all over their roster

1559
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: every year. I don't know how much draft cap, draft room,

1560
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: or cap cap space they will have next offseason, but

1561
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: they'll be able to spend pretty freely on the things

1562
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 1: that they need because of the fact that most of

1563
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: this roster is going to be on short term deals.

1564
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna get caught up in developing young

1565
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: players except for their ability to do it. I'm not

1566
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 1: saying they have to do it all over the board.

1567
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, we're gonna take a break here. We're

1568
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna come back and play What's for lunch? Haven't done

1569
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: that in a while? I asked you what he had

1570
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: for lunch a moment ago. We'll get to the fictional

1571
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: once What's for Lunch version when we return, Come on back,

1572
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: one does live presenter back Callada Health coming to you

1573
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: from our homes again today, and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1574
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's one Doll's Lives. Still trying to hook

1575
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 1: up with former Bill's quarterback Kim Kelly Adam scheduled to

1576
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: be on the show here, but not going down just yet.

1577
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 1: We'll try to do it when we can. In the meantime,

1578
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: What's for lunch? Steve? You just have a real lunch

1579
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: a moment ago. But let's play what's for lunch? What

1580
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: do you say? You're ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Let's do it.

1581
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,639
Speaker 1: What's for lunch? What do you prefer? Here's the question?

1582
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:09,679
Speaker 1: Number one. Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a new quarterback. Perhaps

1583
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: you've heard of him, Tom Brady. The Bucks now a

1584
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,599
Speaker 1: playoff caliber team. They've made the playoffs in so seven

1585
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 1: have not won a playoff game since two thousand and two.

1586
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers a playoff team now, Yes or no, Steve,

1587
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes. I think they are. I think

1588
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: they've got some talent their offense, end defense. There's an

1589
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: expanded playoff field this year that might help them too.

1590
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go yes. I'm gonna say that as well.

1591
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: I think they've got a chance to even maybe win

1592
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: that division. I like the New Orleans Saints. They're tough

1593
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 1: in the NFC South, but I think the Tampa Bay

1594
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 1: Buccaneers have got enough talent and I think with a

1595
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: guy like Brady in the room, it'll elevate some guys

1596
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: to be even better than they have been. So I'm

1597
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: gonna say with you, Murph, I'm gonna say yes, they

1598
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: are a playoff team and maybe even a team that

1599
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: can get deep into the playoffs. I gotta say that.

1600
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: I'd like Bruce Arians. I think he's a good guy.

1601
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: Like the slap on the back and you know, touch

1602
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 1: his bald head and rough up that kind of hat

1603
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: that he wears. I don't know how how much of

1604
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 1: a championship caliber coach Bruce Arians is. I know he's

1605
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 1: good a quarterbacks said, some success, you know in Pittsburgh,

1606
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:19,639
Speaker 1: going all the way back to Pittsburgh, had the good

1607
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: year in Indianapolis, and then some success in Arizona. Is

1608
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: he a championship caliber coach? That would be a question

1609
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 1: I would have about the Bucks. What do you think, Well, yeah,

1610
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: did he who Let's see, was it no? It was yeah,

1611
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: it was Ken wizzen Hunt that got the Cardinals to

1612
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the Super Bowl back in the day, Wiz.

1613
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Bruce Arians has had some success with older

1614
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks offensively, although his teams have now he's been in

1615
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs a couple of times, I believe, so I

1616
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,719
Speaker 1: don't know. You're right, Murph. It's it's a tough question.

1617
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 1: But it's a tough you know, it's a it's tough

1618
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: to say. I mean, up until this last year, Andy

1619
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: Reid wasn't a championship quarterback, you know, I mean, and

1620
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 1: he'd been to you know, five NFC championship games and

1621
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 1: his second Super Bowl. So that's a hard line to

1622
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: draw without having physical proof that the guy is that.

1623
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 1: But I still like where Bruce Arians has brought the

1624
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, even though they haven't been there yet,

1625
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 1: he's been He's had Jamis Winston on the roster for

1626
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: his tenure there so far in Tampa Bay, so that

1627
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 1: wasn't all his fault. I mean, I don't know how

1628
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna move on from Jamis Winston until they run

1629
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: it until it ran its course. But when it did,

1630
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 1: he bailed. And now he's got Tom Brady. This is

1631
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 1: his chance, I think. Don't you think he's been around

1632
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: too long not to have something. Yes, here's what I

1633
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 1: think about Bruce Arians, and I do like him. I

1634
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: think I'm sure he's a great guy to work with

1635
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: and to hang with. I don't know how serious he

1636
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 1: is as a head coach, you know, he's I think

1637
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is more serious as far as the attention

1638
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: to detail guy and a guy who doesn't let anything

1639
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:53,560
Speaker 1: get by him. I don't know if Bruce Arians is

1640
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: that guy. I think he's pretty good with quarterbacks, but

1641
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 1: I think he's sort of I don't know. I just

1642
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: don't know if he's a hand's eye, attention to detail guy.

1643
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 1: He may prove me wrong, and I'm kind of hope

1644
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: he will. I just think that's that look. And I'm

1645
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: not saying he's Freddie Kitchens with the Browns last year

1646
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: as far as not being a championship playoff caliber coach,

1647
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 1: just saying I don't know about that. I'm eager to

1648
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:18,559
Speaker 1: see how that turns out for well, certainly he's lacking

1649
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 1: in other excuses for this team not being good. Yeah,

1650
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:25,759
Speaker 1: they're right. What's for lunch? This is a good question.

1651
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: I have probable with this one. Who's gonna last longer

1652
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: now in the NFL? Tom Brady or Bill Belichick? See

1653
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,719
Speaker 1: why don't you go first? Who last? I'll say Bill Belichick,

1654
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,639
Speaker 1: I think years ago, and I've used this for Bills

1655
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: fans as a maybe a light at the end of

1656
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:43,680
Speaker 1: the tunnel. Number of times he said, now, I'm not

1657
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 1: gonna be doing this when I'm seventy, you know, like

1658
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 1: Marv Levy did or anything that I got stuff I

1659
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 1: want to do. So that he's cooled on that, he says,

1660
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, I could see myself doing it for a

1661
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 1: few more years. I could see myself. He loves the grind,

1662
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:57,560
Speaker 1: he loves the XS and nose part of it. He

1663
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:00,639
Speaker 1: loves the atmosphere that he's created there in New England.

1664
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 1: He certainly has a willing owner that would let him

1665
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 1: coach for as long as he wants to so, and

1666
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: let's face it, it's a young man's game. And Tom Brady,

1667
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:12,719
Speaker 1: while you know, he's forty two, which is not ancient,

1668
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: is pretty old for a football player, and the end

1669
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: is absolutely in sight for him. So I think it's

1670
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick that lasts longer in cent I'll go along

1671
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 1: with you there. I think everything you said is pretty accurate.

1672
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: I think in a weird way, and I don't think

1673
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 1: it's fully formed yet, but I do think we're gonna

1674
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: see Belichick transformed, reinvigorated. With the challenge you had it,

1675
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big challenge. It's a pretty big challenge,

1676
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 1: especially when they you know, cut Guskowski and bring in

1677
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer. But again, it's almost as if they're kind

1678
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: of resetting the whole thing. I saw an interesting tweet

1679
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 1: from Mike Lombardi, who worked with Belichick in the way

1680
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: them before, and he said, anybody who thinks the Patriots

1681
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: are content with I mean, I'll use the phrase tanking

1682
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: is crazy. That's not in their DNA. He's probably right,

1683
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: but Belichick may look around the NFL and see successful

1684
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: examples about teams have reset recalibrated who they are and

1685
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: what they need to be a championship caliber team, and

1686
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: he may be eager to pull that off himself. What

1687
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 1: do you think. I'm totally with you. I think that

1688
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: Belichick will look around and look at other teams who

1689
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: have turned it around. He'll go back a decade and

1690
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 1: a half and look at every team who has turned

1691
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,840
Speaker 1: it around. Say, let's say turned it around from six

1692
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 1: wins to ten wins, or for anybody who had single

1693
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: digit wins to double digit wins, or it made an

1694
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: improvement of five games over the next course of the year.

1695
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:35,560
Speaker 1: He will look around and say He'll look at his

1696
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,720
Speaker 1: roster and say, this is where we were, Here's where

1697
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:40,640
Speaker 1: we want to get. How did they do it? All

1698
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 1: those teams and they'll copy him. They'll take aspects of

1699
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: every one of those teams in the recent history of

1700
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: the league, how they turned it around, what change for them,

1701
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 1: what they got that was important, and how it can

1702
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: affect the Patriots and they'll they'll apply it, and they'll

1703
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 1: overlay that onto their roster and their moves and their resources,

1704
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 1: and they'll get after I think you look at the

1705
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills for that, he might and look at what

1706
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: that Look at what the Buffalo Bills did. They went

1707
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: from a six and ten team to a ten and

1708
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:15,679
Speaker 1: six team and into the playoffs. And what really changed

1709
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: for them, Murphy, was their offensive line. Their receiving corps

1710
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,759
Speaker 1: had the same quarterback who took a small step forward,

1711
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:24,560
Speaker 1: and you can say whatever you want about why he

1712
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: took it, whether it was his own doing or whether

1713
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: it was the people around him, and he'll say, Okay,

1714
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 1: we've we've got just the opposite. We took a step

1715
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:37,640
Speaker 1: back and experience with our quarterback, and our offense was

1716
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 1: really bad compared to where it used to be, but

1717
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: our defense is was stellar. And now we've lost all

1718
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:44,640
Speaker 1: of those guys. I mean, they've got a lot of

1719
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 1: rebuilding to do all over their roster. But you can

1720
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: bet they're gonna try and take a blueprint from somebody

1721
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: in some situation, and the one that's most similar to

1722
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,640
Speaker 1: them they'll try and mimic. I'll be interesting. Here's a

1723
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 1: good question, free agent still out there, who's a better

1724
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 1: free agent quarterback? Let me give you the most recent

1725
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:08,000
Speaker 1: list I can find of unrestricted free agent quarterbacks and

1726
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:11,799
Speaker 1: just ranked on their ranked on Mike Clay's sheet, Jamis

1727
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: Winston is a free agent Joe Flacco, and then it

1728
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,799
Speaker 1: seems to me there's a big drop off to Lake Bortles,

1729
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:21,799
Speaker 1: Meant Moore, Josh McCown, Trevor Simeon, Blaine Gabbert, Mike Glennon,

1730
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Allen. I mean, you know, kind of, I think

1731
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,600
Speaker 1: Winston and Flacco, at least to me, Steve seemed like

1732
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: the two biggest names. So the question is who's a

1733
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: better free agent, Jamis Winston or Joe Flacco as of today.

1734
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,640
Speaker 1: I think we wrote this like today or yesterday. I

1735
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: think Cam Newton's got to be on that list. Now

1736
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 1: he's getting released from because Joe Flacco just flunk to

1737
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 1: physical for Denver. That's why he's a free agent. Cam Newton.

1738
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 1: The reason he was even not even a starter last

1739
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 1: year was because of injury, and has been that way

1740
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,679
Speaker 1: since two thousand and all the way back to two sixteen.

1741
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: He's been in out of the line. Of sixteen it

1742
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 1: was ribs, and it was his shoulder, and this last

1743
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 1: year was his foot it so that's his issue as well.

1744
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 1: Now Jamis Winston, we're all familiar with his problems. His

1745
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: is he just throws it to the wrong team, but

1746
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: he's got live arm. And Jamis Winston may be at

1747
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: the height of his powers physically, but he brings so

1748
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:19,680
Speaker 1: much baggage and he's not He's kind of he doesn't la.

1749
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the leadership that maybe even Cam Winston

1750
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 1: or Joe Flacolin, either one of those guys, they are

1751
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 1: leading quality. Quality wasn't leadership. It was more, you know,

1752
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 1: their physical attributes. I still think Cam Newton's better than

1753
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:35,600
Speaker 1: both those guys, and he's getting released by it. But

1754
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: if I had to pick between those two guys, I

1755
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: think it's got to be Jamis Winston just for the

1756
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 1: fact that he'll be available for most games because of

1757
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 1: his health. Yeah, I think so too. One more, what's

1758
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: for luncheon? This is a good question, and I'm gonna

1759
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,759
Speaker 1: change this a little bit. A question is best quarterback

1760
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,639
Speaker 1: now in the NFC South. But I want to rank

1761
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: them Steve so, Tom Brady the Bucks, Drew Breens in

1762
01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:01,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Teddy Bridgewater, Carolina, Matt of Atlanta. Four quarterbacks

1763
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 1: in the one division, obviously vastly different circumstances about their

1764
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 1: arrival for their team, and vastly different teams they go

1765
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,879
Speaker 1: to But how would your rank them one through four? Brady, Breeze, Bridgewater,

1766
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,760
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, and they're all pretty good. Rank of former

1767
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 1: Steve What do you think I got? Number? One would

1768
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 1: be Drew Brees, two would be Brady, three would be

1769
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, four would be Bridgewater. Really yeah, I go Breeze, Brady,

1770
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: Bridgewater than Matt Ryan. Why do you put Matt Ryan

1771
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 1: ahead of Bridgewater just because he's a former MVP and

1772
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,720
Speaker 1: he's he's established in that franchise and they understand in

1773
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 1: that franchise exactly what they need to do to win

1774
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: with him. Bridgewater I think is still too much of

1775
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 1: an unknown, even you know, he got five starts last

1776
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 1: year on a team that just kind of handed the

1777
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 1: keys over to him. He's a more of a game

1778
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 1: manager than he is has the ability. He's been labeled

1779
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 1: as that by other people, not just me. I like

1780
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridge. I'll listen. I think this may be the

1781
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 1: best quarterback roster in any vision right now, top to bottom.

1782
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: But I still think I would take Matt Ryan over

1783
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:09,599
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. I still think Matt Ryan's got it physically,

1784
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 1: and that would put him ahead of him. Brushwater Good.

1785
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: That's a good answer, and we are going to take

1786
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 1: a break here. That was what's for lunch. We're gonna

1787
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,799
Speaker 1: take a break. Brian Baldinger, former offensive lineman eleven seasons

1788
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL's being, spent part of the ninety two

1789
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 1: off season with the Buffalo Bills. He's now a Fox

1794
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Live. The Bills get wide receiver Isaa

1795
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:47,840
Speaker 1: McKenzie back. He was not tendered as a restricted free

1796

Speaker 1: agent earlier this month, but today his agents announced that

1797
01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:52,720
Speaker 1: ISAM McKenzie has signed a new deal with the Bills.

1798

01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,559
Speaker 1: Added into a wide receiver group that includes John Brown,

1805
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:17,639
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, Stefan Digs, Andre Roberts, Robert Foster, Duke Williams,

1806
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McLeod is coming back and yeah, so Azam

1807
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: McKenzie answer a pretty good wide receiver room for the Bills.

1808
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:28,479
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers are going to release quarterback Cam Newton today,

1809
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 1: end in a nine year relationship. Newton disputed that he

1810
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: sought permission for a trade as the Panthers said. He said,

1811
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 1: the Panthers forced me into this. After officially letting Cam

1812
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:42,679
Speaker 1: Newton go, the Panthers completed a deal for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Meantime,

1813
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:45,559
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins traded with Carolina for a quarterback. They

1814
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:48,000
Speaker 1: got Kyle Allen in exchange for a fifth round pick.

1815
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Washington did not have interest in adding Cam Newton, who

1816
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 1: has ties with new Redskins coach Around Rivera, so they

1817
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 1: added Alan instead. Alan started twelve games last year, all

1818
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:02,920
Speaker 1: but two coming while Rivera still coach. The Carolina Panthers

1819
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:06,600
Speaker 1: Patriots and release kicker Stefan Gaskowski, ending his tenure with

1820
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:09,719
Speaker 1: the team after fourteen years, coming off left hip surgery

1821
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 1: that shortened the season to four games. He's been the

1822
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 1: team's full time kickers since two thousand and six, thirty

1823
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:16,960
Speaker 1: six years old. He was the longest tenured player once

1824
01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 1: quarterback Tom Brady left last week. In the wake of

1825
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 1: the global pandemic, all NFL related physicals have been indefinitely discontinued.

1826
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 1: The head of the NFL Physician Society sent a letter

1827
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 1: to the NFL and the players Association announcing that free

1828
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 1: agents and draft prospects will not be examined until the

1829
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,879
Speaker 1: health crisis has been cleared. The agent for Watchington Redskins

1830
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,000
Speaker 1: left tackle Trent william says the organization is not acting

1831
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 1: in good faith. He demanded once again that he be

1832
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 1: traded or released to a Taga Biola, recovering from hip surgery,

1833
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 1: posted a video to social media that shows him throwing

1834
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,519
Speaker 1: during drills. He was medically cleared for all football activity

1835
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 1: after an injury last year, and the Olympic Games have

1836
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:02,840
Speaker 1: been postponed until twenty twenty one. The Tokyo Olympics postpone.

1837
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:05,639

1851
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:48,920

1852
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:51,320
Speaker 1: whole thing because it seems as though, now you know,

Speaker 1: may as well give him a call. Everybody's got a

1857
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:01,559
Speaker 1: little i'm on their hands. And do you find yourself

1858
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: in that same scenario. Well, I mean I was out

1859
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:08,080
Speaker 1: cleaning out my greenhouse with a winner, Steve, kind of

1860
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 1: lets you know where I'm at right now. You know,

1861
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 1: THREEC came and went. We covered up pretty good last

1862
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 1: week and that was fun. It was a good a

1863
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 1: reprieve and kind of a you know, a good answer

1864
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 1: to everybody trying to figure out what's going on with

1865
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:24,680
Speaker 1: this virus. So we got through that, and um, you know,

1866
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: we do have a draft coming up in a month

1867
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:29,080
Speaker 1: and there's still a lot of guys to kind of review.

1868
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:31,760
Speaker 1: But in between, we're just trying to kill some time

1869
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,960
Speaker 1: right here. Steve, Hey, Brian, I want to ask you

1870
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:37,240
Speaker 1: about a post that's on the NFL dot Com. You

1871
01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 1: have the Bills, the Dolphins, and the Cardinals as teams

1872
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 1: had the best offseason halls pretty early enough season. But

1873
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about that for a second. What about the

1874
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 1: Bills offseason so far? What do you think? Well, I mean, look,

1875
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 1: they got themselves a true number one wide receivers. To

1876
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 1: find Dixon. You can argue, did they give up too much?

1877
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 1: You might. I mean it's it's but it's it's it's

1878
01:33:57,600 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 1: really a little too late for that. I mean, it's

1879
01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 1: a good wide receiver at but to find Dicks wanted

1880
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,280
Speaker 1: out in Minnesota. Buffalo was desperately in need of a

1881
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: true number one. John Brown played well in his role

1882
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 1: last year, Cold Beasley was exactly what we thought Cold

1883
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:13,840
Speaker 1: Beasley could be on third downs and from the slot.

1884
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 1: But as they kind of built this thing around Josh Allen,

1885
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:19,080
Speaker 1: I think he needs a guy that could really win

1886
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 1: one on one battles against the league's best, like us

1887
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:25,160
Speaker 1: to find Gilmore, and I think he's more than capable

1888
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 1: of doing that. So I think that was a good start.

1889
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 1: And then you know, you go to the one person

1890
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 1: market Carolina to fill the void of all the losses

1891
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 1: in free agency, whether it was retiringment Lorenzo Alexander or

1892
01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 1: the loss of Shack Losson and other guys. I mean,

1893
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 1: you go out and get Mario Addison and Vernon Butler

1894
01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 1: and Quentin Jefferson, and you know that it fills a

1895
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:48,800
Speaker 1: real need for this defensive front. And so I think

1896
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:52,759
Speaker 1: they adequately added those pieces, which I think is important.

1897
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,640
Speaker 1: And then whatever Josh Forman is right now, I don't know,

1898
01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:58,680
Speaker 1: but I the best football he ever played was you know,

1899
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 1: for the head coach there in buffal And so you know,

1900
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,879
Speaker 1: I think that I think Sean knows it better than anybody.

1901
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 1: So if there is some good football to be played

1902
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:09,800
Speaker 1: for Josh Norman, I believe that Steve, you know that

1903
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 1: that that he's gonna be able to get it out

1904
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 1: of him right now. And Brian, let me ask you

1905
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 1: m on the on the Stefan Diggs trade, and I'm

1906
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:19,640
Speaker 1: open for somebody to argue that the Bills gave up

1907
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,240
Speaker 1: too much? So can you make that argument? Maybe what

1908
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 1: they gave up a first rounder and a fourth rounder?

1909
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:27,519
Speaker 1: Is that what? I don't know if it's troubling you,

1910
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:29,120
Speaker 1: but is that where people would go if they said

1911
01:35:29,160 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 1: they gave up too much, that they surrendered a first

1912
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,080
Speaker 1: rounder to get him? Well, I don't, I don't know.

1913
01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, would they give up the twenty second pick

1914
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 1: in order to get him? Yeah? Yeah, this is a

1915
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 1: pretty deep draft. One thing I know about the draft

1916
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 1: is it's a crap shoot. Steve knows this. Um, you

1917
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:46,439
Speaker 1: can say that this is a you know, a really

1918
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:49,400
Speaker 1: deep draft in wide receivers, and I believe it is.

1919
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 1: But I don't know that all of them are going

1920
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 1: to become what Steve Stefon Dix has been. Um, you know,

1921
01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 1: which it can be a game changer. I mean, I guess,

1922
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, the the extra picks that they gave up

1923
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 1: beside the twenty second pick, maybe that ensures that you're

1924
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 1: getting a guy that knows how to play, knows how

1925
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:08,880
Speaker 1: to get open, knows how to win one on ones,

1926
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: and for that little extra you're kind of getting a

1927
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 1: proven commodity. Right now, Now, we got to see just

1928
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 1: how he behaves in Buffalo, because there's gonna be days

1929
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 1: where he's not going to get the ball a great deal.

1930
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 1: They're either going to run it, the weather's gonna be bad, Josh,

1931
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 1: is it gonna be accurate, whatever it is. You know,

1932
01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:29,559
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get fed ten or twelve targets a game.

1933
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,280
Speaker 1: It's just not the way that they play. So you know,

1934
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to understand his role. But if he does,

1935
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 1: then I think it's a good it's a good win.

1936
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:41,599
Speaker 1: I mean, you can say Jerry Judy or Justin Jefferson,

1937
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:43,600
Speaker 1: or you know, go through the names of all the

1938
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 1: guys that everybody knows. By now, I don't know that

1939
01:36:47,080 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 1: any of those guys are a sure thing. One of

1940
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:53,160
Speaker 1: the things that sets this deal apart for me, Baldly,

1941
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,519
Speaker 1: is no question the Bills gave up a lot to

1942
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 1: get him a first round pick and the rest of

1943
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 1: the picks as well. The thing that I like about

1944
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 1: the deal is that Steph Diggs is an established guy.

1945
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:07,040
Speaker 1: He's a veteran guy. You don't there's no acclamation process

1946
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,280
Speaker 1: to him learning how to be an NFL player. And

1947
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,839
Speaker 1: the second thing is this, I'm sitting here in Buffalo

1948
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:15,599
Speaker 1: watching Amari Cooper, who is another name that was thrown

1949
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 1: around by Bills fans saying we need to get Amari Cooper.

1950
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:21,680
Speaker 1: He signs a twenty million dollars a year deal for

1951
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:25,360
Speaker 1: five years with the Dallas Cowboys. The Buffalo Bills got

1952
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, who I would say is at least as

1953
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 1: good as you can put him in the conversation with

1954
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. For me, I think they're both good players,

1955
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 1: maybe different players, but both just as productive and both

1956
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:40,639
Speaker 1: as dangerous. I would say. But they get Stefan Diggs

1957
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:43,599
Speaker 1: for four more years at eleven million dollars a year.

1958
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,559
Speaker 1: To me, that makes this deal going forward way better

1959
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:50,479
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills than the deal Dallas signed with

1960
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. Well, I mean, I look, Steve, you've done

1961
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,960
Speaker 1: your homework. I mean, you gotta factor the contracts into it,

1962
01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: into the situation, and you know what that value is.

1963
01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that wide receivers in the

1964
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars category right now are that important to

1965
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 1: any team. I mean, I think you have to really

1966
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:14,959
Speaker 1: evaluate all these positions right now in the value the production,

1967
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 1: and then you know what it does to your cap

1968
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:19,879
Speaker 1: and what it does to other parts of your football

1969
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 1: team right now. And I think when you start getting

1970
01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:26,720
Speaker 1: top heavy at certain positions, especially a wide receiver, I

1971
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:29,639
Speaker 1: think it's probably not the right way to go right now.

1972
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:34,560
Speaker 1: With Brian Baldinger covers the NFL for Fox and for

1973
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 1: NFL Network. Hey, Brian, tell me about the Dolphins. They

1974
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:40,000
Speaker 1: use cyche them as a team that has did a

1975
01:38:40,040 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 1: lot last week in the first week in free agency.

1976
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:44,679
Speaker 1: Are they ready to contend or maybe threaten the Bills

1977
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:48,680
Speaker 1: or the Patriots in the AFC East. What do you think, Well,

1978
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:50,960
Speaker 1: they improved a lot. You know, last year, there's no

1979
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:52,960
Speaker 1: question about it. As you know the season went on

1980
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,200
Speaker 1: those I mean, you could make the argument that they

1981
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:58,680
Speaker 1: were tanking the first half of the season, but when

1982
01:38:58,720 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 1: you go back and you watch how they fit the

1983
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 1: cease and they finished strong. They beat the Eagles. They

1984
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,680
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots in fact, and I could petreats, you know,

1985
01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:07,679
Speaker 1: the Patriots out of the number two seed in the AFC,

1986
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:10,640
Speaker 1: which probably was a big deal. But you know, I

1987
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:13,840
Speaker 1: saw a team that was coach well, an offensive line

1988
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 1: that was a SIB the first half of the season

1989
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 1: that played much better as a group as the season

1990
01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:23,040
Speaker 1: went on. DeVante Parker gave everybody fits that wide receiver.

1991
01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:27,479
Speaker 1: I think Preston Williams a really good player. Uh you know.

1992
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think if you if you look

1993
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,080
Speaker 1: at the parts how they're putting this thing together, the

1994
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 1: draft capital that they now have, which includes three number

1995
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 1: one picks and two number two picks, I mean, I

1996
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:40,760
Speaker 1: think they're in a position to make a pretty good jump.

1997
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 1: I think everybody in the AFC East feels like it's

1998
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:46,720
Speaker 1: open right now, and with the loss of Brady, but

1999
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 1: I kind of want to see what New England is

2000
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:51,840
Speaker 1: going to do because I'm not ready to write them

2001
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:53,680
Speaker 1: off by any stretch. I think they're just going to

2002
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 1: do it a different way than what they have done.

2003
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 1: But they certainly have improved that you saw it last year,

2004
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 1: and I think the people that they added a lot

2005
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:05,440
Speaker 1: of them you know, they've got a great deal familiarity

2006
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 1: with the way things were done in New England, And

2007
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 1: make no mistake about it, that's what Brian Floors and

2008
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 1: Chris Greer are trying to do down to Miami. Well,

2009
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 1: they certainly started of it and took off like a

2010
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:16,760
Speaker 1: house of fire. They had a lot of money to spend,

2011
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 1: and certainly they went out and got guys that they liked.

2012
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 1: In fact, it's hard to even fathom anybody that could

2013
01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 1: make the argument that the Miami Dolphins are not better

2014
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 1: today than they were three months ago. The question really

2015
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:30,880
Speaker 1: for me, Baldin, I'll see what you think about it.

2016
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 1: Can they put all those brand new pieces together and

2017
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 1: get them to play well enough early in the season, Because,

2018
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 1: like you said, I think, and I told Murph this

2019
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:42,439
Speaker 1: on our show a couple of days ago, Miami Dolphins

2020
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 1: are going to get better from week one to week

2021
01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:47,519
Speaker 1: seventeen and eighteen coming up this season. But can they

2022
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:50,360
Speaker 1: get it going fast enough to win enough games early

2023
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 1: to keep them in contention throughout the second half? Well,

2024
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm seeing I mean, nobody knows the answer to that. Steve.

2025
01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 1: You know, anybody that's you know, reassembled a team there

2026
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:04,600
Speaker 1: is an adjustment pier. Sometimes it comes quicker. It'd be

2027
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: good to know who the quarterback is going to be.

2028
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's Fitzpatrick gonna be the quarterback to start

2029
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 1: the season, or is it going to be toa or

2030
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:14,839
Speaker 1: somebody else. I would say, if it's a rookie quarterback,

2031
01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:17,519
Speaker 1: it could be a slow curve. I'd say if it's

2032
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:19,559
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and he's playing the way he did the last

2033
01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 1: five weeks of the season, then I think they'd have

2034
01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 1: a better chance of putting it together. But it sort

2035
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:29,280
Speaker 1: of remains to be seen at this point. Bran the

2036
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:32,759
Speaker 1: Line with Brian Baldinger, NFL dot Com and NFL Network,

2037
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: NFL analysts for NFL Network and Fox Sports TV. Hey, Bran,

2038
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: let me ask you about the number one seed in

2039
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,679
Speaker 1: the playoffs or the ASC last year, the Baltimore Ravens.

2040
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: Where they Which Baltimore Ravens start the twenty twenty season,

2041
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:50,320
Speaker 1: The Ravens that got knocked out of the playoffs fairly early,

2042
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:52,759
Speaker 1: or the Ravens that sort of rolled for the regular season.

2043
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 1: I guess, in other words, are we looking are you

2044
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 1: expecting a drop off in the Ravens production this year? Now?

2045
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean I know they won twelve in a row

2046
01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 1: before the playoffs, lost Tennessee at home, but I think

2047
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a really good team. I mean, they

2048
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:10,559
Speaker 1: added Michael Brockers, and they added Laiss Campbell to a front.

2049
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:14,519
Speaker 1: When they kept Matt Judon, they probably had the best

2050
01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 1: secondary of football, you know, through the second half of

2051
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:19,880
Speaker 1: the season. Once they got Marcus Peters, I mean, I

2052
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be a really good football team. I

2053
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 1: know Marshall Janda retired, but I think they were planning

2054
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:27,080
Speaker 1: on that. They got a set of book end Pro

2055
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:30,840
Speaker 1: Bowl tackles and Zeus and Ronnie Stanley and Pro Bowl

2056
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 1: tight end. I don't think he's gonna you know, I mean,

2057
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:35,680
Speaker 1: I think I think Lamar is only going to get better.

2058
01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:37,320
Speaker 1: He might not run for twelve hundred yards, but I

2059
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a better quarterback. I mean, I

2060
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 1: like the football team they you know, they've got the

2061
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl kicker, punter, and snapper. I don't think those

2062
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 1: guys are gonna fade away anytime soon. I love what

2063
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:52,200
Speaker 1: they did at the defensive front. May know, Michael Pierce

2064
01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:55,240
Speaker 1: they lost, but he wasn't a past runner. But Michael

2065
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:59,120
Speaker 1: Brockers has always been a really productive player, and Klais

2066
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: Campbell is the end of the year. You want him

2067
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 1: on your football team, period, and you could play him

2068
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 1: anywhere on the defensive front. I think the flexibility they

2069
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 1: have upfront with who they have right now gives Link

2070
01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 1: Martin deal, one of the better defensive coordinators to this league,

2071
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 1: just a lot of ammunition to work with. I think

2072
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 1: they're going to be a real good football team from

2073
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:23,200
Speaker 1: start to finish next year. Do you think that. I

2074
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 1: know how it went for the Baltimore Ravens last year,

2075
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 1: and I still even now after the season's over and

2076
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:31,320
Speaker 1: they got an early exit from the playoffs. I don't

2077
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:34,720
Speaker 1: think John Harbaugh got enough credit for the work he

2078
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:38,680
Speaker 1: did in transforming their entire offensive philosophy and building from

2079
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:40,680
Speaker 1: the ground up around a quarterback that none of us

2080
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:43,519
Speaker 1: have seen. I think Lamar Jackson's a little bit of

2081
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 1: a unicorn baldy. I mean, there's not many guys like him.

2082
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:49,559
Speaker 1: We haven't seen him, and for John Harbaugh to see

2083
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,080
Speaker 1: it in his rookie season and build around it in

2084
01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:54,960
Speaker 1: his second year, to get him to the MVP race

2085
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:56,720
Speaker 1: and get him into the playoffs the way they did

2086
01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 1: and roll through the conference. I don't think John harbag

2087
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:03,320
Speaker 1: enough credit for that. Well, you know, part of part

2088
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:05,639
Speaker 1: of that success, you know, he was, you know, making

2089
01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:08,400
Speaker 1: the decisions. I mean, he elevated Greg Romance the offensive

2090
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:12,240
Speaker 1: coordinator position. They lost T andts, They elevated Wink Martindale

2091
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:16,160
Speaker 1: the year before to the defensive coordinator position. They made

2092
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:19,120
Speaker 1: an aggressive trade for Marcus Peters. I mean, they did

2093
01:44:19,160 --> 01:44:21,760
Speaker 1: a lot of things along the way in order to

2094
01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:24,679
Speaker 1: get there. And you know they were without the number

2095
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:28,640
Speaker 1: one pick for base I mean Mark Marquis Brown was

2096
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 1: was not healthy for the first half of the season.

2097
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 1: They worked around you know, a bad foot injury, Liz

2098
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,439
Speaker 1: Frank injury that he had. But you know, I think

2099
01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:39,760
Speaker 1: that John expected them to be good. I don't know

2100
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 1: that he expected them to win twelve in a row, uh,

2101
01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, since that disappointing September loss to Cleveland and

2102
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 1: to run the table like that. But music good football coach. Steve.

2103
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:54,240
Speaker 1: He's very demanding. They practiced really hard. A lot of

2104
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 1: players complain about it sometimes, but it pays off to

2105
01:44:56,800 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: the end. And um, you know, he's not afraid of

2106
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:03,479
Speaker 1: to play free agents or young players or move guys

2107
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 1: out that aren't productive. I mean, he's not afraid to

2108
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:08,400
Speaker 1: pull the trigger and say that we've made mistakes. They

2109
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:11,160
Speaker 1: just traded their number one pick, a tight end. You know,

2110
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: they just traded him away. They're not afraid to recognize

2111
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 1: draft errors. That move on. So it's a it's a

2112
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:22,240
Speaker 1: sound in solid organizations. One of the better ones. And

2113
01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was around him at the Pro

2114
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 1: Bowl this year. He was disappointed, but you know he's

2115
01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 1: got a strong chin and he could take those punches.

2116
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:34,160
Speaker 1: He'll be back next year. Around the Line with Radio

2117
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:38,080
Speaker 1: dot Com Sports NFL Inside of Brian Baldinger, Brian just

2118
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:40,599
Speaker 1: for a minute on the Patriots and on Tom Brady

2119
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:43,680
Speaker 1: and on Bill Belichick. Brady now with Tampa Bay, Belichick's

2120
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 1: stays in New England. What'sn't the chance that both of

2121
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 1: them are motivated to prove something this year, both Brady

2122
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:53,599
Speaker 1: and Belichick? Is that a Posibo scenario? Do you think? Yeah?

2123
01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:55,840
Speaker 1: Of course, I mean I don't think they're going to

2124
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:58,840
Speaker 1: be motivated. Um, you know, I think what I want

2125
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:02,000
Speaker 1: to see. I know Tom gradis motivated. I mean he said,

2126
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:03,680
Speaker 1: you know years ago, they want to play till he

2127
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:06,560
Speaker 1: was forty five and the Patriots didn't really believe that

2128
01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 1: was possible, and they never offered him a long term deal,

2129
01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:12,280
Speaker 1: and he was excited to see how he could do

2130
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 1: with another organization, have a little bit more fun than

2131
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:16,800
Speaker 1: he was having. Oh. I think all those things are valid.

2132
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:20,280
Speaker 1: I think for Bill Belichick, I'm interested in saying because

2133
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to pay any quarterback from

2134
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:24,720
Speaker 1: here on out. Ever. I don't think he's ever going

2135
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:27,120
Speaker 1: to play a quarterback twenty five million dollars or more,

2136
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 1: and so I think they're gonna They've been pioneers in

2137
01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 1: so many different ways and how to build a team

2138
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:37,040
Speaker 1: and sustained success. I think that they would rather spend

2139
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:39,720
Speaker 1: the money in other areas right now and make the

2140
01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:44,000
Speaker 1: team better around the quarterback than to have Tom Brady

2141
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 1: or Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson one of these guys

2142
01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 1: making you know, twenty five thirty thirty five million dollars

2143
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:54,040
Speaker 1: or more. And I think that's what's interesting, I think

2144
01:46:54,080 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 1: for everybody to kind of watch to see how they

2145
01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 1: build this thing right now now that they've got the

2146
01:46:59,200 --> 01:47:02,840
Speaker 1: financial you know, uh, flexibility to really spend it the

2147
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 1: way they want to spend it draft the way they

2148
01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:06,960
Speaker 1: want to draft, and I think that's where they're going

2149
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 1: to go. They're just not going to overpay at any

2150
01:47:09,479 --> 01:47:13,760
Speaker 1: position right now. How good does Tom Brady make the

2151
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:16,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. How good are they going to be

2152
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:18,880
Speaker 1: this year? What's your prediction? Well? I think that you know,

2153
01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they won seven games. Last Year's sived

2154
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:25,760
Speaker 1: with you know, with James Winston telling thirty thirty interceptions,

2155
01:47:26,520 --> 01:47:29,920
Speaker 1: seven of them will picked sixes and fumbling the hall

2156
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 1: away five times. I mean, Tom Brady hasn't thrown three

2157
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:36,560
Speaker 1: interceptions the last four years combined. So if you just

2158
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 1: cut down on the mistakes and the turnovers and the

2159
01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:42,880
Speaker 1: pick sixes, I mean, I think that's at least worth

2160
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:46,200
Speaker 1: three more victories and so if you get to ten,

2161
01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:50,960
Speaker 1: you're in the playoff. Hunt. I thought I saw a

2162
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:54,240
Speaker 1: defensive front seven be one of the best in all

2163
01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 1: of football the second half of the season last year.

2164
01:47:56,920 --> 01:48:01,360
Speaker 1: Lavonte David and Devin White are fierce combat Nation linebacker Bay.

2165
01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:04,920
Speaker 1: They returned the leading soccer in the league in Shack

2166
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 1: Barrett and JPP. I mean that front is going to

2167
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:09,400
Speaker 1: be nasty and they're gonna be good and if they

2168
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:12,439
Speaker 1: get any kind of a lead with Tom Brady rather

2169
01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:14,800
Speaker 1: than just giving the ball away and give them the opposition,

2170
01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:18,120
Speaker 1: you know points. I mean, I think they could really

2171
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 1: give team fits. I expect them to win ten or

2172
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: eleven games at the least next year and be in

2173
01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:26,800
Speaker 1: the playoff hunt. And Brian, I want to ask you

2174
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:29,560
Speaker 1: about an AFC team again, and that's the Raiders, the

2175
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:32,679
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. They've added a lot of talent during

2176
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:34,680
Speaker 1: the free agency period. Do you think they're ready to

2177
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:37,360
Speaker 1: contend in a new stadium and a new fan base

2178
01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:41,840
Speaker 1: they're in Vegas. Well, I mean they look they're looking

2179
01:48:41,920 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 1: up at the Kansas City Chiefs, and I don't think

2180
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 1: they're ready to overtake the Chiefs. So you're looking at

2181
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:48,800
Speaker 1: one of the wildcard spots, and I think they could.

2182
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean they added a lot of parts, you know,

2183
01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:55,679
Speaker 1: linebackers and defense. I mean in every position except offensive line,

2184
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:58,439
Speaker 1: they added parts. I'm not sure exactly what Jason Witten

2185
01:48:58,520 --> 01:49:00,200
Speaker 1: is going to do. I mean Wallow is really good.

2186
01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:03,360
Speaker 1: Last year, Foster Moreau was a really good blocking tight end.

2187
01:49:03,720 --> 01:49:06,759
Speaker 1: But maybe he ad it's just you know, some senior

2188
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 1: leadership to a team. But what I saw was they

2189
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 1: really added competition at every position, whether it's Marcus Mariota

2190
01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:17,439
Speaker 1: and Derek car right now. And they added competition at

2191
01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:19,760
Speaker 1: every position, and that can only be a good thing.

2192
01:49:19,840 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 1: Some of those guys they signed last week are gonna

2193
01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 1: be starters. I expect both Quakowski and Corey Littleton to

2194
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 1: be the starting inside linebackers. But I mean some of

2195
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 1: these guys are just going to compete and had depth.

2196
01:49:32,160 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath can compete for safety position, maybe he can start,

2197
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:38,080
Speaker 1: But competition is going to be a good thing for

2198
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:41,080
Speaker 1: that football team. They're gonna add some pieces in the draft.

2199
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:44,320
Speaker 1: You know, I want to see Jonathan Abraham healthy at

2200
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:47,479
Speaker 1: safety this year. You basically played a quarter of the

2201
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:50,679
Speaker 1: season last year. So they're gonna be a lot better.

2202
01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:53,519
Speaker 1: I think. I don't know that they're gonna be a

2203
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, good enough to compete with what Kansas City

2204
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:58,559
Speaker 1: has right now, with the way that quarterback could play,

2205
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:00,800
Speaker 1: but I you know, and I think at one point

2206
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:02,519
Speaker 1: they were five and five last year, looked like they

2207
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 1: turned the corner and then just they just collapsed. So

2208
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna finish better this year. Um, we

2209
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 1: got to see what this move is gonna be like

2210
01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:13,360
Speaker 1: because they haven't moved yet, and it's gonna be there's

2211
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:15,880
Speaker 1: gonna be some stress involved. I don't know how they

2212
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:18,600
Speaker 1: handle at all. But anytime you got to make that

2213
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 1: kind of a move, it doesn't affect a team. But

2214
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:23,720
Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're gonna be at least a five

2215
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:26,760
Speaker 1: hundred team, I believe this year. One of the other

2216
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:28,840
Speaker 1: things about a team that I got to ask you

2217
01:50:28,840 --> 01:50:32,760
Speaker 1: about Baldy, we saw him with a meteoric rise under

2218
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:35,080
Speaker 1: Sean McVay out on the West Coast. I mean, the

2219
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 1: Rams went from went from nothing seemingly right to the

2220
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:41,559
Speaker 1: super Bowl that year under him, and now they're trying

2221
01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 1: to by hook or Kirk kind of hold it together,

2222
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:46,400
Speaker 1: and it's just it just doesn't look like it's gonna

2223
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:48,920
Speaker 1: be possible. Talk a little bit about the Rams and

2224
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:51,479
Speaker 1: about the way they've worked their cap and all the

2225
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: things that they had going on, and all of a

2226
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:56,720
Speaker 1: sudden it all came apart for them. Well, I mean,

2227
01:50:56,760 --> 01:50:58,760
Speaker 1: it's a prime example of when you give you know,

2228
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 1: your quarterback plus a million dollars a year and a

2229
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:04,400
Speaker 1: lot guaranteed what it does to the rest of your

2230
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,640
Speaker 1: football team and you can't keep Michael Brocker's and you

2231
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:09,680
Speaker 1: can't keep Dante Fowler or you know, you can't keep

2232
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:12,320
Speaker 1: Clay Matthews, and you just go through the Corey Littleton.

2233
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:13,680
Speaker 1: You can't keep a lot of the guys that you

2234
01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 1: want to keep. And then if you give a bad

2235
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 1: contract to running back who you know just isn't as

2236
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:22,800
Speaker 1: productive anymore. I mean, Devin Singletary had twice as many

2237
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:26,960
Speaker 1: explosive plays as did you know, uh, you know, the

2238
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:29,519
Speaker 1: running back did last year. So you know, I've never

2239
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:32,519
Speaker 1: seen a team eat a contract of twenty million dollars

2240
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 1: like they did. I mean, that's that's unheard of in

2241
01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 1: this business. But that's where they're at right now. They're

2242
01:51:38,400 --> 01:51:42,439
Speaker 1: eating you know, dead money, they're eating contracts. Uh. You know,

2243
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:44,479
Speaker 1: a big part of it is the money they gave him.

2244
01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:47,800
Speaker 1: The quarterback who just isn't you know, he's just not

2245
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:51,120
Speaker 1: that good and he's he's a starter, He's mordan capable

2246
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 1: be a good player if everything around him is really good.

2247
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:56,160
Speaker 1: But you know, in the offensive line is in transition,

2248
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 1: and the running back isn't as good, and the defenses

2249
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:02,640
Speaker 1: in the sound you know, you see what he is.

2250
01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not winning games by himself out there

2251
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:07,400
Speaker 1: right now. So they've got a kind of reek group

2252
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:09,280
Speaker 1: right now, and I think they may take a step

01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:46,600
Speaker 1: Baldin's like a level heavy guy, Steve, you know, he

2264
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 1: doesn't overreact this stuff seemingly huh no. It also when

2265
01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:53,439
Speaker 1: he you hear Baldi talk, everything seems common sensical, you know, like,

2266
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 1: of course they did this, and of course this is

2267
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:58,160
Speaker 1: the result. And even there at that last part, he's right, Um,

2268
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:01,600
Speaker 1: the Rams went all in on Jared Goff and it

2269
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,040
Speaker 1: came back to get him. They had paid a lot

2270
01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 1: of high price guys to get to the Super Bowl,

2271
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 1: brought in a lot of talent. Jared Goff got him there,

2272
01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:11,400
Speaker 1: but it was on the same year that he needed

2273
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:13,479
Speaker 1: a new deal and they had to pay the kid

2274
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:15,720
Speaker 1: that got him to the Super Bowl at quarterback, and

2275
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 1: the rest of everybody else had to go. And now

2276
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:20,799
Speaker 1: their cupboards are bare, and they're trying, and they're jettising

2277
01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:23,560
Speaker 1: all the XX baggage. Again. We got into this a

2278
01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:26,559
Speaker 1: little bit yesterday and I'm not saying it'll happen here,

2279
01:53:26,600 --> 01:53:28,760
Speaker 1: but there is a lesson there for the Bills, right

2280
01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:31,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen a couple of years away from his second contract,

2281
01:53:31,960 --> 01:53:34,120
Speaker 1: there's a lesson for the Bills, an object lesson for

2282
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:36,360
Speaker 1: the Bills and really everybody in the NFL with a

2283
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:39,360
Speaker 1: good young quarterback on his first contract. Now yeah, I mean,

2284
01:53:39,720 --> 01:53:44,640
Speaker 1: it's become the topic du jour of the NFL. Can

2285
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 1: you how much and how deep can you go with

2286
01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:51,280
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback on his rookie deal? And that's

2287
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:54,519
Speaker 1: a window that everybody strives for. That's what the Bills

2288
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:58,599
Speaker 1: are striving for right now. With Josh Allen. They took

2289
01:53:58,640 --> 01:54:01,880
Speaker 1: a big step last year. Uh, and now this year.

2290
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:04,240
Speaker 1: I think there's no doubt. I think the expectations are

2291
01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:06,720
Speaker 1: through the roof inside their own building. They always are

2292
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:08,920
Speaker 1: higher inside the building than they are every place else.

2293
01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:11,759
Speaker 1: No matter what you think, they expect to be champions

2294
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:14,280
Speaker 1: this year. And I think legitimately there's a lot of

2295
01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:18,360
Speaker 1: people outside of the building that probably are penciling those

2296
01:54:18,400 --> 01:54:20,680
Speaker 1: guys in to make a run as well, depending on

2297
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:24,800
Speaker 1: how Josh Allen plays. Yep, what was that you have?

2298
01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:27,519
Speaker 1: It's tambourine in your hand or something. Now, Vern Verne

2299
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:30,840
Speaker 1: shook and he's he's left. He heard me talking to

2300
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:33,280
Speaker 1: you and he got disgusted and left. Lest you're gonna

2301
01:54:33,360 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 1: like beat the tambourine or something. Now, my dog Vern,

2302
01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:38,800
Speaker 1: that's that's his dog tags shaking down and around. It's

2303
01:54:38,880 --> 01:54:42,120
Speaker 1: com we gotta break, you gotta break, and we're coming

2318
01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:41,120
Speaker 1: So being round to each other for two weeks. Chapter

2319
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:43,160
Speaker 1: A while you need to leave the house, so need

2320
01:55:43,200 --> 01:55:47,360
Speaker 1: to go get groceries er, But I just more joking

2321
01:55:47,480 --> 01:55:50,280
Speaker 1: than anything. But you know what it is, what it is,

2322
01:55:50,480 --> 01:55:54,480
Speaker 1: and um, I just you know, just staying your home

2323
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:57,040
Speaker 1: a dark camera's back from college and she's been here

2324
01:55:57,040 --> 01:55:59,840
Speaker 1: for a couple weeks so and just spent some quality

2325
01:55:59,880 --> 01:56:02,560
Speaker 1: time with her and my family and doing a lot

2326
01:56:02,640 --> 01:56:07,240
Speaker 1: of face timing with my daughter in Virginia. Hey, Jim,

2327
01:56:07,320 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 1: you had a message that went out on bill social

2328
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:12,840
Speaker 1: media earlier today, just kind of advice and maybe words

2329
01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:14,920
Speaker 1: of encouragement for Bill's fans. What did you have in

2330
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:17,040
Speaker 1: mind there? What are you trying to tell people? What

2331
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:19,120
Speaker 1: bottom line is, you got to be smart. And I

2332
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:21,520
Speaker 1: know that's one of the things, even with my daughters

2333
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:24,880
Speaker 1: and especially my youngest, to let them know that, you

2334
01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:27,560
Speaker 1: know what you guys are just as important as you

2335
01:56:27,640 --> 01:56:29,400
Speaker 1: know the older people, because if you get it, you

2336
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:32,320
Speaker 1: pass it on to everybody else. And just trying to

2337
01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:35,080
Speaker 1: make sure people understand you've got to be smart about this.

2338
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:36,760
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to do the right thing.

2339
01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:39,760
Speaker 1: And I know, trust me, it's it's for me to

2340
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:42,480
Speaker 1: stay in the house all this time. It kills me

2341
01:56:42,720 --> 01:56:45,320
Speaker 1: is And you know, bottom line is we've got to

2342
01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:49,120
Speaker 1: be smart about especially young kids, especially if you're around

2343
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:53,520
Speaker 1: somebody like myself who my immune system is not like

2344
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:57,520
Speaker 1: everybody else's. And you just have to keep that consideration

2345
01:56:57,760 --> 01:57:00,120
Speaker 1: on who your parents are, who your grandparents are, are

2346
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:03,480
Speaker 1: trying to do as much traveling outside of your own

2347
01:57:03,560 --> 01:57:05,840
Speaker 1: door as you can. I know, sometimes you gotta do

2348
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 1: what you gott do. But do not get as we

2349
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:12,080
Speaker 1: all know, probably getting old hearing from everybody. As far

2350
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:14,160
Speaker 1: as you know, stayed away from big groups. We know

2351
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:16,360
Speaker 1: that that's pretty much been a place for the last

2352
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:19,920
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But more importantly to the bills, people

2353
01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:23,640
Speaker 1: just be smart. Yeah, And I think I think one

2354
01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:26,960
Speaker 1: of the things we talked about earlier in the show, Jim,

2355
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:30,280
Speaker 1: was that when you see like when I see you

2356
01:57:30,440 --> 01:57:32,840
Speaker 1: do your video. Sean mcdermot's got a video. A lot

2357
01:57:32,880 --> 01:57:36,800
Speaker 1: of other celebrities have also reached out on video to

2358
01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 1: tell people, you know that it kind of lets you

2359
01:57:39,320 --> 01:57:41,800
Speaker 1: know that we're all in this together, from whoever whoever

2360
01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:44,600
Speaker 1: you are, that we all have our own role to play,

2361
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:46,400
Speaker 1: and we're all playing kind of this. We're on the

2362
01:57:46,440 --> 01:57:48,320
Speaker 1: same team. I mean, it's just important to all of

2363
01:57:48,400 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 1: us that one person as is the next person. And

2364
01:57:51,080 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 1: I think it's really comforting and reassuring to know that

2365
01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:58,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterbacks are self quarantining and driving their

2366
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:02,800
Speaker 1: wife crazy just like the rest of us. Oh yeah,

2367
01:58:02,880 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 1: you hit that radar to know. Yeah, there's no doubt

2368
01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:07,280
Speaker 1: about it. And the thing is, it is what it is,

2369
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 1: your cliche. But the thing is, it's part that nobody's

2370
01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:14,840
Speaker 1: been through before, nobody's ever had anything like this, Nobody

2371
01:58:14,920 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 1: ever thought, as we all well know now, that nothing

2372
01:58:18,600 --> 01:58:21,800
Speaker 1: would ever be dis bad as it is now. And

2373
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:26,240
Speaker 1: the thing is probably would be a lot worse if

2374
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:28,760
Speaker 1: we didn't jump on it. Like we did and we're

2375
01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:31,440
Speaker 1: just blessed it. There's not a bunch of cases in

2376
01:58:31,560 --> 01:58:33,880
Speaker 1: Western New York. Guess you're always going to have some

2377
01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 1: cases of people to travel from different places to come

2378
01:58:36,960 --> 01:58:40,280
Speaker 1: here and blah blah blah. But uh, it's just know

2379
01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:43,120
Speaker 1: where you're going to you're around, and making sure you

2380
01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:47,240
Speaker 1: know who they've been around. So Jo, you know, people

2381
01:58:47,280 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 1: will make mistakes, So don't a lot of people tell you, oh,

2382
01:58:49,680 --> 01:58:52,120
Speaker 1: I was here. I'm not sure about those people, and

2383
01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:55,960
Speaker 1: even even some of the people that I know, it's

2384
01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:58,520
Speaker 1: the question to come out. You know where you've been here,

2385
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:01,520
Speaker 1: You've been around somebody, and you're gonna make your mistakes charrier.

2386
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:03,960
Speaker 1: But if you make that mistake, there's just better hope

2387
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,320
Speaker 1: and pray. That's where some of you hasn't been around

2388
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:10,280
Speaker 1: somebody that have devirus around the line with the Hall

2389
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:12,840
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly and the Buffalo Bills talking

2390
01:59:12,840 --> 01:59:16,280
Speaker 1: about healthy lifestyle, being strong, staying strong through the current

2391
01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 1: quarantine situation. Okay, if I asked you a couple of

2392
01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:21,600
Speaker 1: Bills football questions, Jim, because I know you're following it

2393
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 1: just like we are these days, what do you think

2394
01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:28,000
Speaker 1: of the acquisition to Stefan Diggs last week in the trade. Yeah,

2395
01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:31,360
Speaker 1: I love it, you know, seventy And this probably should

2396
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:34,080
Speaker 1: bring you back to that time period two we had

2397
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:36,120
Speaker 1: on Drery, We had a couple of good receivers, but

2398
01:59:36,440 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 1: until we brought James Lofton on, I think that's when

2399
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:43,680
Speaker 1: our offensive really started to thrive. Even though you would

2400
01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:46,800
Speaker 1: never coach would never let you be my number one receiver.

2401
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:48,800
Speaker 1: So if you were, you're being a Pro Football Hall

2402
01:59:48,840 --> 01:59:51,320
Speaker 1: of Fame knowledge a receiver and I'm sure you're part

2403
01:59:51,360 --> 01:59:53,320
Speaker 1: of here me say that, but it is what it is.

2404
01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:56,320
Speaker 1: But if you remember back, I think it was nineteen

2405
01:59:56,480 --> 01:59:59,560
Speaker 1: ninety when James Lofton became maybe ninety ninety one, but

2406
01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:02,520
Speaker 1: came a part of the Buffalo Bills, and I think

2407
02:00:02,600 --> 02:00:05,520
Speaker 1: that's when our offense really thrived because we needed that

2408
02:00:05,760 --> 02:00:09,840
Speaker 1: deep threat. Well Andre was more of our inside guy

2409
02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:12,560
Speaker 1: when need got deep threat on the outside to go

2410
02:00:12,640 --> 02:00:14,600
Speaker 1: with tom Biebie on the other side. So I thought

2411
02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:16,720
Speaker 1: that was a great addition. And all of a sudden,

2412
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:19,520
Speaker 1: we get Digs in there, and I think that's gonna,

2413
02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, help Brown, help other guys that

2414
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:26,000
Speaker 1: are on our team to be able to, you know,

2415
02:00:26,200 --> 02:00:29,000
Speaker 1: do things a little bit more. How we would like

2416
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:31,120
Speaker 1: to not so much to have to worry about one

2417
02:00:31,160 --> 02:00:33,360
Speaker 1: side or the other now that you got worry about

2418
02:00:33,400 --> 02:00:36,280
Speaker 1: both sides of our offense. Yeah, that's one of the

2419
02:00:36,400 --> 02:00:38,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a great analogy. Did you bring up

2420
02:00:38,280 --> 02:00:41,120
Speaker 1: about James Lofton. He came in late for the last

2421
02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:44,240
Speaker 1: three or four games of the nineteen eighty nine season,

2422
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:47,680
Speaker 1: and you know it's back. It's the game that right

2423
02:00:47,680 --> 02:00:49,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the season where we got put

2424
02:00:49,040 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 1: out in Cleveland in that great game we played against

2425
02:00:52,040 --> 02:00:54,600
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, and that was the last game of

2426
02:00:54,680 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 1: that season in the playoffs and going into the next year,

2427
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't so much. A lot of it was production

2428
02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:02,200
Speaker 1: on the field and his speed and the kind of

2429
02:01:02,280 --> 02:01:06,160
Speaker 1: receiver he was, but also some of it was the

2430
02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:09,920
Speaker 1: kind of guy he was and the way he meshed

2431
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:12,520
Speaker 1: with Andre and the meat wide receiver meetings, and the

2432
02:01:12,640 --> 02:01:15,040
Speaker 1: way he spoke to you the quarterbacks in your room,

2433
02:01:15,120 --> 02:01:17,560
Speaker 1: and the and the credibility he brought to the team

2434
02:01:18,520 --> 02:01:22,480
Speaker 1: because he was already an established NFL player, but to

2435
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:24,920
Speaker 1: come in and see him go the extra miland the

2436
02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:28,240
Speaker 1: way he handled himself around the building really taught a

2437
02:01:28,320 --> 02:01:31,040
Speaker 1: lot of guys. Even Andre learned some things from James

2438
02:01:31,480 --> 02:01:34,160
Speaker 1: that really helped that team get better. I was wondering

2439
02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:36,800
Speaker 1: what you think about a guy like Steph Diggs, who

2440
02:01:36,960 --> 02:01:38,960
Speaker 1: you know he was, and I say, it's part of

2441
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:41,200
Speaker 1: the job description. He was a little bit of a

2442
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:44,400
Speaker 1: cry baby in Minnesota about not getting the ball and

2443
02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:47,880
Speaker 1: the offense was a run first our offense, and they weren't,

2444
02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't get enough opportunities. It's a little

2445
02:01:50,920 --> 02:01:53,840
Speaker 1: bit of the job description for a diva wide receiver.

2446
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:56,040
Speaker 1: But how do you think that'll mention with Josh Allen

2447
02:01:56,080 --> 02:01:58,560
Speaker 1: and the culture that Sean McDermot had put together here

2448
02:01:58,600 --> 02:02:02,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. As you well know, time will only tell.

2449
02:02:02,360 --> 02:02:04,240
Speaker 1: But the thing is you were right when you talked

2450
02:02:04,240 --> 02:02:07,240
Speaker 1: about James's leadership coming in, and I guess more or

2451
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:10,800
Speaker 1: so the other receivers buying into this also not known

2452
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:14,200
Speaker 1: and saying to themselves, this is going to help all

2453
02:02:14,280 --> 02:02:16,720
Speaker 1: of us, not just the Okay, I might not get

2454
02:02:16,800 --> 02:02:18,920
Speaker 1: the throws that I had before he got here, but

2455
02:02:18,920 --> 02:02:21,200
Speaker 1: it's going to open my game up a little bit more.

2456
02:02:22,040 --> 02:02:24,360
Speaker 1: Now it's up to him to buy into what the

2457
02:02:24,560 --> 02:02:27,160
Speaker 1: offense is, what's the day what Dabo has in mind

2458
02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:29,720
Speaker 1: and be able to help each other out if he

2459
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:32,600
Speaker 1: comes to expect to be the number one guy from

2460
02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:36,800
Speaker 1: start to finish, and without really getting that communication factor

2461
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:39,840
Speaker 1: with the other receivers and with Golfin's coordinator and the

2462
02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:43,880
Speaker 1: receivers coach, it's just you know, saying your own he's

2463
02:02:43,880 --> 02:02:46,120
Speaker 1: good to people around you. He's going to be a

2464
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:49,480
Speaker 1: better receiver because you're gonna have other guys on the

2465
02:02:49,560 --> 02:02:52,120
Speaker 1: team that are very good too. That's going to open

2466
02:02:52,240 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 1: up his game more. And when they started doing it's

2467
02:02:54,560 --> 02:02:58,120
Speaker 1: about winning. It's about winning as a team. You can't

2468
02:02:58,200 --> 02:03:01,440
Speaker 1: do it all by yourself. And I think him coming in, yeah,

2469
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:04,280
Speaker 1: you hear all some of some of the negativity about

2470
02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're talking about you know, trying, you don't

2471
02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:10,919
Speaker 1: get the balling up. Does that sound like Andrea? Andrea

2472
02:03:11,080 --> 02:03:13,400
Speaker 1: was open every single I go Andrea. It was a

2473
02:03:13,560 --> 02:03:17,000
Speaker 1: running play. It was not a pass play. So but

2474
02:03:17,160 --> 02:03:20,600
Speaker 1: the thing is you need more than one wide receiver

2475
02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:24,600
Speaker 1: Wris to be able to um utilize what Josh Allen

2476
02:03:24,600 --> 02:03:26,840
Speaker 1: can do, and that's being able to throw the deep

2477
02:03:26,880 --> 02:03:29,440
Speaker 1: ball and be able to make the plays as he's

2478
02:03:29,560 --> 02:03:33,920
Speaker 1: running with it. So I think his um, what he

2479
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:37,080
Speaker 1: brings to this offense is gonna be huge as long

2480
02:03:37,160 --> 02:03:39,800
Speaker 1: as he buys into what's going on. And now they

2481
02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:43,000
Speaker 1: play or running this type of offense with Hall of

2482
02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback Jim Kelly AJM. I wonder if you think

2483
02:03:46,320 --> 02:03:49,680
Speaker 1: there's any added pressure on Josh Allen to produce now

2484
02:03:49,760 --> 02:03:52,240
Speaker 1: that he's got Stefan Diggs, that he's going into his

2485
02:03:52,320 --> 02:03:55,839
Speaker 1: third year, that they've surrounded him with several offensive weapons.

2486
02:03:55,920 --> 02:03:57,760
Speaker 1: Did you feel it in your career? Maybe after you

2487
02:03:57,840 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 1: guys got loft and like, WHOA, I better step up now,

2488
02:04:00,240 --> 02:04:02,880
Speaker 1: I gotta make something happen. Well, you know what, I'm

2489
02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:06,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You always have a pressure on making sure

2490
02:04:06,040 --> 02:04:08,440
Speaker 1: you do. But you know what, especially you put on

2491
02:04:08,520 --> 02:04:10,560
Speaker 1: yourself if you know what you have in front of you,

2492
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:12,960
Speaker 1: you know what you've done the last two years. Yeah,

2493
02:04:13,120 --> 02:04:16,080
Speaker 1: especially the way that they're paying guys money now. And

2494
02:04:16,280 --> 02:04:18,600
Speaker 1: of course his contract will be up, you know, he's

2495
02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:22,040
Speaker 1: ending his rookie year contract. Maybe not this year, maybe

2496
02:04:22,160 --> 02:04:24,760
Speaker 1: one more. But the thing is, there's always pressure on

2497
02:04:24,840 --> 02:04:28,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback to be the guy, especially in a system

2498
02:04:28,200 --> 02:04:31,600
Speaker 1: where everything relies on what Josh does. And I think

2499
02:04:31,680 --> 02:04:33,720
Speaker 1: what he has realized that he's got to go in

2500
02:04:33,800 --> 02:04:36,800
Speaker 1: there thinking more as a quarterback and not as an athlete,

2501
02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:39,760
Speaker 1: because I think some of the mistakes he made last year,

2502
02:04:39,800 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 1: even though he can make plays on his run at times,

2503
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:45,360
Speaker 1: I figured thought that maybe just step going through his

2504
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:49,440
Speaker 1: repetitions and the protocol as far as going from one

2505
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:53,040
Speaker 1: to two to three receivers. He is so used to

2506
02:04:53,160 --> 02:04:55,360
Speaker 1: make them big plays with his legs, which is a

2507
02:04:55,480 --> 02:04:58,960
Speaker 1: good thing, but also realizing to be a quarterback now,

2508
02:04:59,120 --> 02:05:01,280
Speaker 1: he's got to be that quarterback and not so much

2509
02:05:02,240 --> 02:05:05,080
Speaker 1: rely on his athletic ability to you know, maybe break

2510
02:05:05,120 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 1: down a little bit before he should. So I think

2511
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:10,560
Speaker 1: he's the guy that definitely needs to step up. I

2512
02:05:10,560 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 1: don't think we're going anywhere unless he's the guy that

2513
02:05:13,800 --> 02:05:17,720
Speaker 1: is a main ingredient for our offense, which most quarterbacks are,

2514
02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:20,320
Speaker 1: but I think for what we do in our style

2515
02:05:20,360 --> 02:05:22,520
Speaker 1: of offense, I think that's a lot of pressure is

2516
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:24,440
Speaker 1: going to be on him to do it, especially going

2517
02:05:24,480 --> 02:05:26,680
Speaker 1: into a third year. But that's part of the beginning

2518
02:05:26,720 --> 02:05:28,640
Speaker 1: of quarterback. That's part of the money that you get

2519
02:05:28,680 --> 02:05:31,800
Speaker 1: big nowadays. What do you think the next step is

2520
02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:34,120
Speaker 1: towards helping him? Do you need. You need to bolster

2521
02:05:34,240 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 1: the offensive line, a backup running back, another tight end.

2522
02:05:37,360 --> 02:05:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean they've given they refurbished this offense from two

2523
02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:42,960
Speaker 1: years ago. You wouldn't recognize the roster of the guys

2524
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:46,120
Speaker 1: taking the field for the Buffalo Bills. What could they

2525
02:05:46,240 --> 02:05:50,240
Speaker 1: do more to help Josh? I think keeping the same

2526
02:05:50,360 --> 02:05:53,240
Speaker 1: people on the field the majority of the time, meaning

2527
02:05:53,720 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 1: you can't always have Steve, you know, they're supers ball

2528
02:05:57,320 --> 02:06:00,360
Speaker 1: as anybody. You gotta be able to have community, not

2529
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:03,480
Speaker 1: only from the pistol part as far as running route,

2530
02:06:03,520 --> 02:06:05,680
Speaker 1: but once you get outside the pocket, what's your receiver

2531
02:06:05,800 --> 02:06:07,680
Speaker 1: is going to do? You gotta be on the same page.

2532
02:06:07,720 --> 02:06:10,240
Speaker 1: And I know that's an old cliche, but especially when

2533
02:06:10,280 --> 02:06:12,640
Speaker 1: you have a young team, you've got a guy like

2534
02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:16,200
Speaker 1: Josha can make things happen on the run. There's having

2535
02:06:16,200 --> 02:06:19,800
Speaker 1: the same people out there that they both understand what's

2536
02:06:19,840 --> 02:06:22,200
Speaker 1: going to happen when the thing does break down? What

2537
02:06:22,440 --> 02:06:25,360
Speaker 1: are you going to do? And I think we had

2538
02:06:25,440 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 1: a very good thing that we had going with Bills

2539
02:06:29,560 --> 02:06:31,800
Speaker 1: when you know, we had Jane, we had baby, we

2540
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:33,920
Speaker 1: had you know at the time, Billy Brooks too. We

2541
02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:37,400
Speaker 1: asked the receivers, but I was used to always thrown

2542
02:06:37,520 --> 02:06:40,240
Speaker 1: to these guys, same guys on the field at all times.

2543
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:42,800
Speaker 1: So I think that and you all know this, and

2544
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:46,240
Speaker 1: I know this from a fact from Keith the Killer

2545
02:06:46,360 --> 02:06:49,160
Speaker 1: the ka gun off it's called after Cheeth. But I

2546
02:06:49,440 --> 02:06:52,920
Speaker 1: always am a very very I always pull for the

2547
02:06:53,040 --> 02:06:57,280
Speaker 1: tight end because I remember when I had my struggles

2548
02:06:57,400 --> 02:06:59,960
Speaker 1: and when you go a game or two, you enough playing,

2549
02:07:00,200 --> 02:07:01,880
Speaker 1: you know as good as you think, this should go

2550
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:04,200
Speaker 1: back to that tight end because he's a very important

2551
02:07:04,240 --> 02:07:07,160
Speaker 1: part of that offense. Just as Tom Bravey about that

2552
02:07:07,240 --> 02:07:09,880
Speaker 1: when they got rid of Bronk and those sinks happen,

2553
02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:12,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback relies on your tight end a lot more

2554
02:07:12,600 --> 02:07:15,120
Speaker 1: people think they go well. One of the things that

2555
02:07:15,200 --> 02:07:17,120
Speaker 1: made you successful was the fact that you had a

2556
02:07:17,160 --> 02:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame running back and a Hall of Fame,

2557
02:07:19,160 --> 02:07:22,040
Speaker 1: two Hall of Fame running backs, two Hall of Fame

2558
02:07:22,120 --> 02:07:25,680
Speaker 1: wide receivers as well on that team. Could Steph Diggs

2559
02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:29,480
Speaker 1: be the guy that solidifies their personnel combinations. Maybe they

2560
02:07:29,560 --> 02:07:33,280
Speaker 1: can leave Diggs, John Brown, Cole Beasley on the field

2561
02:07:33,360 --> 02:07:36,560
Speaker 1: all the time along with a tight end and a

2562
02:07:36,680 --> 02:07:39,720
Speaker 1: running back. You know, if they have one more great

2563
02:07:39,800 --> 02:07:42,640
Speaker 1: player like Diggs, could allow them to make fewer changes

2564
02:07:42,640 --> 02:07:46,120
Speaker 1: to the roster around Josh and fewer personnel changes on

2565
02:07:46,200 --> 02:07:49,800
Speaker 1: the field. I totally agree hundred percent with that, even

2566
02:07:49,840 --> 02:07:52,160
Speaker 1: though you know it's not our offense. But I think

2567
02:07:52,320 --> 02:07:55,360
Speaker 1: you do that, I think in limited amount of and

2568
02:07:55,880 --> 02:07:57,600
Speaker 1: not short one hundred percent, but you just to hear

2569
02:07:57,680 --> 02:08:01,360
Speaker 1: different things. Limit the amount of play. Run plays over

2570
02:08:01,520 --> 02:08:04,200
Speaker 1: and over again from different formations like what you used

2571
02:08:04,200 --> 02:08:06,960
Speaker 1: to do, and you have people feel very confident on

2572
02:08:07,080 --> 02:08:09,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing, and I know the adjustments are made,

2573
02:08:10,440 --> 02:08:13,280
Speaker 1: uh if its own coverage and whether it's man to me,

2574
02:08:13,360 --> 02:08:15,640
Speaker 1: it covers what they're gonna do, but just have it

2575
02:08:15,760 --> 02:08:19,160
Speaker 1: where they're not thinking that they're just reacting for that

2576
02:08:19,400 --> 02:08:22,600
Speaker 1: play that's called. And I think when you start running

2577
02:08:22,640 --> 02:08:25,720
Speaker 1: plays over and over and over again it's the same one.

2578
02:08:25,840 --> 02:08:29,240
Speaker 1: You start getting familiarize what the receivers are thinking, what

2579
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:31,760
Speaker 1: depth that they're running the route on, not always having

2580
02:08:31,800 --> 02:08:34,680
Speaker 1: a different play called and different plays being run. I

2581
02:08:34,720 --> 02:08:37,640
Speaker 1: think Dave was doing a very good job. I think that,

2582
02:08:38,040 --> 02:08:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think Dick is going to be the

2583
02:08:40,040 --> 02:08:43,200
Speaker 1: abissal ingredient that we did need when Bomb line. If

2584
02:08:43,200 --> 02:08:45,200
Speaker 1: we've got to stay healthy and if we do that,

2585
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:49,040
Speaker 1: and Josh, you know there's that quarterback. We all pray

2586
02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:50,960
Speaker 1: and hope he will be and I think he will be.

2587
02:08:51,480 --> 02:08:56,440
Speaker 1: I think we're weren't right there in the without Tom Brayden,

2588
02:08:56,440 --> 02:08:58,839
Speaker 1: you New England. Now, I think we're ready at its forefront.

2589
02:08:58,880 --> 02:09:02,320
Speaker 1: I think we've probably are going get to this season

2590
02:09:02,920 --> 02:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the team that they have to beat us. I think

2591
02:09:07,080 --> 02:09:09,880
Speaker 1: if we lose, it's because of what we did on

2592
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:13,240
Speaker 1: the field, and and maybe who knows, as we all

2593
02:09:13,360 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 1: talk about the injury part. We have to stay healthy.

2594
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:19,880
Speaker 1: But I think we're the team to beat in the AFCs. Hey, Jim,

2595
02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:22,360
Speaker 1: thanks for this and thanks for your words of encouragement

2596
02:09:22,400 --> 02:09:25,080
Speaker 1: for Bills fans all over the world. Really well, I

2597
02:09:25,120 --> 02:09:27,200
Speaker 1: appreciate it, and I just want to thank you. Oh

2598
02:09:27,280 --> 02:09:29,839
Speaker 1: that you know, the first responders out there, the nurses

2599
02:09:29,880 --> 02:09:32,120
Speaker 1: and the doctors, I don't see how they do it.

2600
02:09:32,240 --> 02:09:34,920
Speaker 1: God bless them and keep them all healthy, because the

2601
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:37,080
Speaker 1: ones that are suffering have to go in there has

2602
02:09:37,120 --> 02:09:39,400
Speaker 1: to be somebody to take over for them. And for

2603
02:09:39,560 --> 02:09:42,080
Speaker 1: all those people out there stuffing me my wife are

2604
02:09:42,160 --> 02:09:44,800
Speaker 1: praying for so many people. My wife put up on

2605
02:09:44,920 --> 02:09:48,880
Speaker 1: her on her Facebook and all that Twitter that we're

2606
02:09:48,960 --> 02:09:52,080
Speaker 1: praying for people just you know Twitter, you know, sending

2607
02:09:52,160 --> 02:09:54,520
Speaker 1: to her what the prayers have to be. But more

2608
02:09:54,560 --> 02:09:58,400
Speaker 1: importantly right now is thank the people out there, the nurses,

2609
02:09:58,440 --> 02:10:01,080
Speaker 1: the doctors that have to go in and eat every

2610
02:10:01,160 --> 02:10:03,000
Speaker 1: day to take care of the people or ship show.

2611
02:10:03,120 --> 02:10:05,600
Speaker 1: Thanks Thanks them very much and God bless them. Pray

2612
02:10:05,680 --> 02:10:09,120
Speaker 1: for them. Thanks him. Thanks Jim a good gay guys.

2613
02:10:09,240 --> 02:10:12,480
Speaker 1: God bless Okay, thank you all of fining. Quarterback Jim

2614
02:10:12,560 --> 02:10:14,160
Speaker 1: Kelly on the line with us, and we got a

2615
02:10:14,200 --> 02:10:16,080
Speaker 1: break here. We're coming back in a moment. One Bill's

2616
02:10:16,120 --> 02:10:19,720
Speaker 1: Live presented by Collin of Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

2617
02:10:32,960 --> 02:10:34,800
Speaker 1: Can't we wrap things up the way we always do

2618
02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:37,320
Speaker 1: with what have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks,

2619
02:10:37,680 --> 02:10:40,640
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2620
02:10:40,640 --> 02:10:43,000
Speaker 1: Whenn't we learn from today's show? We and Andrew Catalan

2621
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:45,960
Speaker 1: of the NFL on CBS on during the first hour

2622
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:47,880
Speaker 1: of the show, and he talked with us about all

2623
02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:50,400
Speaker 1: the offseason moves the Bills have made so far. Here's

2624
02:10:50,440 --> 02:10:54,000
Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan. Yeah, obviously the headline movement digs. I love it.

2625
02:10:54,320 --> 02:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a great move for John Dallen. I

2626
02:10:56,360 --> 02:11:00,160
Speaker 1: think the offense now at top three, rocking seepers off

2627
02:11:00,200 --> 02:11:02,800
Speaker 1: of the line coming back, there's a lot of different

2628
02:11:02,840 --> 02:11:06,120
Speaker 1: weapons for job Allen. And yeah, I also really liked

2629
02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:08,840
Speaker 1: the Mario Addison move. I get a Panthers game last

2630
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:11,600
Speaker 1: year and studying up on them. He was one guy

2631
02:11:11,680 --> 02:11:14,080
Speaker 1: that really stook out to me on tape. Luke Keithley

2632
02:11:14,120 --> 02:11:17,080
Speaker 1: was still there at the time before retiring, but Addison

2633
02:11:17,160 --> 02:11:19,120
Speaker 1: was a guy that really caught my eye. So what

2634
02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:22,440
Speaker 1: I really like about the Bills is the continuity that

2635
02:11:22,520 --> 02:11:25,160
Speaker 1: they're going to be bringing back and knowing that system

2636
02:11:25,240 --> 02:11:28,960
Speaker 1: and so many of the same faces in this season especially,

2637
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:33,640
Speaker 1: I think that's really going to serve them. Well, that's

2638
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:36,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Cantalon. Also on the show today Brian Badinger from

2639
02:11:36,840 --> 02:11:40,040
Speaker 1: the NFL dot Com and the NFL on Fox. Brian

2640
02:11:40,120 --> 02:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Ballinger talked to us about the big move made eight

2641
02:11:42,440 --> 02:11:45,520
Speaker 1: days ago by the Bills, the trade they made for Stephands.

2642
02:11:45,560 --> 02:11:48,000
Speaker 1: He was balder. They got themselves a true number one

2643
02:11:48,040 --> 02:11:50,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers Stefon Dickson. You can argue, did they give

2644
02:11:50,680 --> 02:11:53,760
Speaker 1: up too much? You might. I mean, it's it's but

2645
02:11:53,920 --> 02:11:55,720
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really a little too late for that.

2646
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:58,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a good wide receiver draft, but Stefon

2647
02:11:58,640 --> 02:12:02,200
Speaker 1: Dix wanted out in Minnesota. Buffalo was desperately in need

2648
02:12:02,240 --> 02:12:04,680
Speaker 1: of a true number one. John Brown played well in

2649
02:12:04,840 --> 02:12:08,200
Speaker 1: his role last year. Cold Beasley was exactly what we

2650
02:12:08,280 --> 02:12:10,520
Speaker 1: thought Cold Beasley could be on third downs and from

2651
02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:13,280
Speaker 1: the slot. But as they kind of built this thing

2652
02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:15,480
Speaker 1: around Josh Allen, I think he needs a guy that

2653
02:12:15,560 --> 02:12:18,800
Speaker 1: could really win one on one battles against the league's best,

2654
02:12:18,880 --> 02:12:21,640
Speaker 1: like us to find Gilmore, and I think he's more

2655
02:12:21,680 --> 02:12:25,800
Speaker 1: than capable of doing that. There you go. That's Bryan

2656
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:28,840
Speaker 1: Baldinger Steve Tasker. Baldinger could not tell me if the

2657
02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:30,600
Speaker 1: Bills gave up too much to get Diggs. I don't

2658
02:12:30,640 --> 02:12:32,320
Speaker 1: think they did, but some people knew. I guess what,

2659
02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:34,200
Speaker 1: do you think? It was a high price, But I

2660
02:12:34,400 --> 02:12:37,320
Speaker 1: still think the return on investment and the fact that

2661
02:12:37,440 --> 02:12:41,440
Speaker 1: going forward he's cheap relatively speaking to number one receivers

2662
02:12:41,480 --> 02:12:44,560
Speaker 1: around the National Football League, his price tag for the

2663
02:12:44,640 --> 02:12:46,480
Speaker 1: next four years is one that he's going to be

2664
02:12:46,560 --> 02:12:48,839
Speaker 1: able to live up to. That's what I've been hoping

2665
02:12:48,880 --> 02:12:51,440
Speaker 1: on this whole offseason. You think Amari Cooper is going

2666
02:12:51,480 --> 02:12:54,880
Speaker 1: to have five seasons in a row that are worth

2667
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:57,600
Speaker 1: twenty million bucks a season. I don't think there's any way.

2668
02:12:57,640 --> 02:13:00,720
Speaker 1: In fact, he may not have one that's worth twenty

2669
02:13:00,760 --> 02:13:03,720
Speaker 1: million dollars on the salary cap. But Steph Diggs, I

2670
02:13:03,880 --> 02:13:08,120
Speaker 1: think he could do eleven million bucks in fourteen games.

2671
02:13:08,360 --> 02:13:11,600
Speaker 1: I think there's no doubt Stefan Diggs and the deal

2672
02:13:11,680 --> 02:13:13,840
Speaker 1: that the Bills got for him and his contract moving

2673
02:13:13,920 --> 02:13:17,920
Speaker 1: forward makes that deal an absolute steal for the Buffalo Bills.

2674
02:13:18,240 --> 02:13:20,280
Speaker 1: All right, tomorrow, Chris Brown's going to join the show.

2675
02:13:20,400 --> 02:13:22,360
