Speaker 1: show on on a Tuesday in July when nobody's around.

48
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: Peter King saved us today because he came out on

49
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: Football Morning in America on Monday and they had suggestions

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: from people he's received from people he knows or have

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: reached out to him. How would you improve the NFL?

52
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: He threw thirty of them on to his Football Morning

53
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: in America. We've been going around and around with Some

54
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: of them are pretty good. There's a really good one,

55
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: really good, and some of them are like maybe not

56
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: so much. Some that maybe in theory sound like a

57
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: good idea, but in practice there's no way you could

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: pull it off. I get your I get where your

59
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: heart's at. Yeah, yeah, but it's not half it yet, right,

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: but still we're gonna go down the list and do that,

61
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: and you can reach out to us and call us

62
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: at eight O three five fifty or eighty eight five

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: two fifty. Give us a call, give us some advice

64
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: about how you would improve the NFL. Now, let's all

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: acknowledge off the top, there's not too much broken with

66
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's it's a multi billion dollar industry and

67
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: it's growing like a weed in a rainstorm. So you know,

68
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: there's not too much that needs to be fixed. But

69
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: there's stuff we all notice and we kind of like fixed. Yeah,

70
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: particularly in your own backyard. There's a fine line of

71
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and

72
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: and if you're staying in the same spot, you're kind

73
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: of going backwards type of things. So you gotta find

74
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: that happens. And there's a difference between changing it and

75
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: improving it, sure, and some of the stuff is a

76
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: little bit minutia. Some of it is a small difference

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: that could make a big difference for a lot of people.

78
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: But it's interesting. You get a lot of stuff going

79
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: on and you know that the first one he throws

80
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: out and I don't want to get to jump into

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: this too fast. But you know the seventeen games, Uh,

82
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: this ot thing and this is for Bills fans. You

83
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: start all right off for the thirteen second game where

84
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: the O team we missed the fit Coin flip and

85
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: we lose. Okay, so he says, listen, not there's no

86
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: field goals and no kicking in overtime. You gotta go

87
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down, or you lose, or you

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: get the ball back, you give the ball over to

89
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: your opponent. You can't punt, you can't kick in overtime,

90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: which forces teams to go for it all the time.

91
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: And I get that, Okay, what's you know? How long

92
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: does that last? Just both do both teams get a

93
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: chance to possess the ball and all that? All that

94
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: can be answered. But I don't know what do you think?

95
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Because what it does is, Josh, you know, you can't

96
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 1: use like if you're the Baltimore Ravens or the Bills,

97
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: you got your great kicker, you can't use him. You

98
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: got a great punter er, you can't use him. I'm

99
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: good with it because I think everybody kind of is

100
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: trending toward the go for it on fourth down anytime

101
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: it's fourth in less than five people are going. You know,

102
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: the metrics say you should go for it here, you know,

103
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: they just they just go with that. I clearly think

104
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: that something needs to be done with the overtime role.

105
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of an entire extra period. I'm give

106
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: me an extra fifteen minutes and just keep going until

107
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: the end of it, and no kicks and no kick

108
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: no field goals during that fifteen minutes. No extra points. Actually,

109
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: they gotta be okay with field goals, no extra points.

110
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: You score a touchdown, you have to go for two.

111
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: No punts. I'm actually okay with the punts. That doesn't

112
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: bother me. Because you're playing a full it's very much

113
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: like the regular game. I think you almost have to

114
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: eliminate the extra points because then you're narrowing the chances

115
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: of it going to while possible second overtime, and you

116
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: don't want to get into that. Here's the thing, too,

117
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: We're all we all, particularly here in Buffalo, have got

118
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: that Kansas City Buffalo Divisional round game on our minds.

119
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: And the problem with this is is this, at some

120
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: point the game has to end. That's what we didn't

121
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: want to happen when we were watching that game. We

122
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: just wanted to keep going. We want to Josh to score.

123
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: We just want to keep watching and have your team win.

124
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: You just want to keep watching those two guys go

125
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: at it. Josh was unbelievable. Mahomes was almost was perfect

126
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: in that game. The way they extended plays that got

127
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: everything coming to them, Josh extending the drive, I mean everything,

128
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: the whole everything about that game was why we watch

129
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: the game, everything about it. Yeah, and you say here

130
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, but I mean there are fans, there are

131
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: NFL fans and every state that you talked to, and

132
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: they'll tell you that's the best game they saw all

133
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: year last year. Absolutely not even close. Oh yeah, I

134
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: get it. And that's why we didn't want it to end.

135
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: That's why we said, well we should have had it.

136
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: I wanted Josh, you get the ball one more time.

137
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: Of course, and if it would have been the other way,

138
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: the chief fans would have en I wanted my homes

139
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: to get the ball one more time, and I get it.

140
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: You have to get it. You have to acknowledge. Yeah,

141
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: they probably would have felt that way. One group of

142
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: people didn't want Josh to get the ball. Yeah, that's

143
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: the Kansas City, Kansas. That was it. I get it.

144
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: But that's what we're talking about. When you get to

145
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: the overtime. The games are always so good, and they're

146
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: particularly games were you know, it was thirty one thirty

147
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: one or whatever it was, and you didn't want it

148
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: to end, thirty four thirty four, You didn't want the

149
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: game to get over. You want to watch those guys,

150
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: particularly at the end of that game when they were humming.

151
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: The defenses were tired and they couldn't the offense had

152
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: to drop it for to stop get stopped, and it's

153
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. That's what we're talking about.

154
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: So you kind of have to temper the rule changes

155
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: with that was a that was a point in history,

156
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: moment in time that you know it's not gonna happen

157
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: very often. I don't know. Just like I said, you

158
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: give me an extra fifteen minutes, because now I'm guaranteed

159
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: an extra fifteen minutes of what I watched the second half.

160
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: You know that both those offenses get the ball twice,

161
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: and there's a good chance they both get the ball

162
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: twice and overtime, And the point is, if it doesn't

163
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: matter who scores or how they score whatever, they go

164
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: all the way to the end of the fifteen minutes.

165
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: So you could score twenty one and beat them by

166
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: twenty one points in an overtime game, or it could

167
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: be you know, a tie again. But if you score

168
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown a field goal and they only score a touchdown,

169
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: you win. But you got to go all the way

170
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: to the end of the time instead of just the

171
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: next score. That kind of thing. So you've got a

172
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: time and let's face it, in that Bill's Chiefs game,

173
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs scored with two O two left, and everybody's like, yeah,

174
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: when Bill scored with thirteen second No, it was one

175
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: O two left and the Bills scored in forty seven

176
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: seconds or something like that. Forty eight seconds and then

177
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: thirteen Yeah, three touchdow field goal, three touchdowns and yeah,

178
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: field goal. They had three scores in less than five

179
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: scores because they did it. They did it before two.

180
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: There's five touchdowns in the last the ball again for

181
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. It's just so you know, that's what you're

182
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: looking at. So I'm I'm yeah, you'll never get it

183
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: right because you know all those overtimes, you think, oh

184
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: if we if this, and you always you know, if

185
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: this and then that, and you kind of make assumptions

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: that hot it would have turned out. You don't know.

187
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: But it was a fun game to watch and people

188
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: are still talking about changing the rules because of it,

189
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: because it when you get moments like that, you know,

190
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: you got to save them. And they had been talking

191
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: about changing that role for a while. That game, you

192
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: feel like, kind of kind of really pushed it toward

193
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: the front, the forefront of everybody's conversation in this offseason.

194
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: How would you improve the National Football League? Give us

195
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: a call at eight O three oh five fifty. We've

196
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: got some stuff here. If Peter King wrote an argue's

197
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: a friend of the show wrote an article Football Morning

198
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: in America, and you know guests, his guests, you know,

199
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: just people who write into them. You know, how would

200
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 1: you improve it? They got some pretty good stuff. And

201
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: there's a ton of stuff here too, one that these

202
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: seem like no brainers too. There's a couple in here

203
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: like that's exactly right, that's exactly right, Like this seventeenth

204
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: game that we've all talked about. Now, last year the

205
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: Bills had nine home games. This year they'll have eight,

206
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: and all the NFC teams will have nine and the

207
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 1: AFC teams will all have eight. So what there's a

208
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: lot of ideas about what to do with that odd

209
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: game and just give each team ad home eight away

210
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: and then play games some place else. And there's a

211
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: lot of variations of this, which I'm I'm kind of

212
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: mixing some of these ideas together now, Like playment at

213
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: neutral sights. You know, Bill's Cleveland in an Erie, you

214
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing, not not they don't have

215
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: a stadium in Erie, but you get like or a

216
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: beaver stadium. Have the Steelers in this and the Eagles

217
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: play in Beaver Stadium in penn State College Station. That

218
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: those kind of things. But play the seventeenth game at

219
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: neutral site for these two teams, right, And that's kind

220
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: of a good idea for me. It would expand the game,

221
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: give towns a chance to host a game that they

222
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to do before. Yeah, I covered

223
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: penn State football for a decade in that place. Oh

224
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Yeah, it's huge, and when it's rocking, it's

225
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: so much. You've never driven through down to the College Station.

226
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: You're driving through the hills of Pennsylvania, Kyle, know what

227
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: that looks like you'd round a bend or come over

228
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: a hill or something. You all of a sudden, you

229
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: see that, Like it looks like a spaceship or some

230
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: sort of something got dropped in the hills there. That's

231
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: like it takes you a second to grasp the scale

232
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: of how big Beaver Stadium is. It's huge, and it

233
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: just looks like it's just somebody just set it in there.

234
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: It's spectacular. It's awesome, yeah, fans. I mean, I got

235
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: a chance to cover a bowl game that Penn State

236
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: played Boston College and they played it at Yankee Stadium.

237
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: They still play bowl games there. It's called the pin

238
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: Straight Bowl. Right, imagine the Bills. Imagine the Bills playing

239
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: their seventeenth game in the schedule at Yankee Stadium. How

240
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: cool is that? I mean pretty cool? Right? Let them

241
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: play the Giants there. Yeah, that's fun. That's a good

242
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's the right. Then. It's that

243
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: huge event Wrigley Field. Find a way to find a way.

244
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can put a football field

245
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: in there with the with the bricks. Right. In fact,

246
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: I'll give you give a story. Um, I was doing

247
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: a Bears game and I was speaking to mister McCaskey,

248
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: who runs the Bears um they were built. It was

249
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: right at the time when the new stadium, that Soldier

250
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: Field got built, and it was a few years old.

251
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: It was the brand new stadium. One of the things

252
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: about the new stadium that they wanted to put in

253
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: was the fact that back in the twenties or thirties,

254
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: when the Bears played at Wrigley Field, they said, it

255
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: was widely known that the best seats in professional football

256
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: where the right field stands second deck along the right

257
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: field wall, because you were up and that it was

258
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: right there. So they recreated those seats in the new

259
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: Soldier Field because they played at Wrigley Field and everybody

260
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: said it was and it is. It caused some problems

261
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: because when we're in the broadcast booth, the roof's a

262
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: little low. They come down over the top. You can

263
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: see the whole field, but if they punt it, you

264
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: can't follow the ball. And they had to put a

265
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: scoreboard inside underneath because the ceiling is so low and

266
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: the broadcast both you can't see the air, like if

267
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: he puts a little air under it, you lose the football.

268
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: Because the roof is low because that second tier comes

269
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: down so and they are phenomenal seats. And imagine, you know,

270
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: the concern is gone now with the facilities not being

271
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: as nice because if you've been in any of these

272
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: college football stadiums, go down to the swamp sometime. Imagine

273
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: a game being play, an NFL game being played at

274
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: the swamp. You know, take a couple of the Florida teams,

275
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: let them play at the swamp. Have you ever been

276
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: in these facilities, Penn States Facility, Florida Gators facility, Alabama.

277
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: Their facilities are as nice as any NFL facility. So

278
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's not even a problem at all.

279
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the locker rooms are going to be plenty

280
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: nice enough now. I played, I did play back in

281
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: I can't remember the year. You remember there were wildfires

282
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: out there in San Diego. It was when the Charge

283
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: were in San Diego. There were wildfires in southern California

284
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: and the smoke was so bad that people had to

285
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: evacuate and they put him in the parking lot of

286
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: Qualcom Stadium there the San Diego seam. They couldn't play

287
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: the game there. I commentated a game between the Miami

288
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins and the San Diego Chargers in Baton Rouge. And

289
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: it was when Nick say had left LSU to go

290
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: to be that he was when he was the head

291
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: coach of the Dolphins, Right, So Nick Saban bringing the

292
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins into Baton Rouge to play against the sanity Go

293
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: Chargers and all those jokers. We did that game and

294
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: it was it was I like nothing you've ever seen.

295
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: It was off the hook. Yeah, yeah, people were going crazy.

296
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here thinking of the different arenas to

297
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: play a game at Rose Bowl. Oh, I've got emotional

298
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: scar tissue and Rose Bowl, but yes, stuff like that,

299
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl. Yeah, and up until up until the Raiders

300
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: did their thing, you could have played in the coliseum. Sure,

301
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: you know that kind of stuff. But you know now

302
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: it's it's a nice stadium now, but not like the

303
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: sandbox it was when when when I was playing in UM. Yeah,

304
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: there's a ton of them, a ton of them. You

305
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: could even go to, you know, Missouri, all the you

306
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: know Oklahoma playing in Oklahoma City or the Sooners in Norman, UM.

307
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: Some of these college towns that they've all got huge

308
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: stadiums and they're seen in eighty thousand, ninety thousand, and

309
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: they fill them up. Sure they do, they sure film up.

310
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: But that's a great idea for these seventeenth game. Here's

311
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: the other thing that would be cool is it's the fall,

312
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: so colleges are in session. So now you're going to

313
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: a campus where they're getting fired up for an NFL game.

314
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: To be there on a sun, right, that would be

315
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: so fun, right, you pull into the show from down there, right,

316
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean imagine that though for real, You've got all

317
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: these kids going to class on a Friday getting geared up,

318
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: or let's face it, college kids, they start getting geared

319
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: up for stuff on a Thursday. They get geared. You

320
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: have a student section, you have to have a student section,

321
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: and you have a student section for both teams, right, well,

322
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: and then you start almost doing something like how, yes,

323
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: absolutely do a college game day type of that'd be

324
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: pretty cool, right, That college game day is so much fun.

325
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: That's a great idea. That's a great idea. Steve Tasker

326
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: and Josh Reid one Bills Live. We're taking your ideas

327
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: for how to improve the National Football League. We get it.

328
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: It's not broken. Our friend Peter King got a bunch

329
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: of suggestions from people all over the country, and we're

330
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: going over some of the better ones. We're gonna throw

331
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: some of them out because they're just not feasible, but

332
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: like like one of the interesting ones. Because soccer is

333
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: getting big here in the North American I enjoy watching it.

334
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: And the thing that happens in European soccer, if anybody

335
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: watched Ted Lasso or familiar with soccer, is its relegation,

336
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: which means if a team has doesn't win, doesn't win again,

337
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: doesn't win again, can't win a season after season, they

338
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: get what's called relegated, which means they go to a

339
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: lower level of football or soccer and have to play

340
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: different teams. They get less money, they get less television exposure,

341
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: all of that stuff and the and the you know,

342
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: the suggestion was the NFL should relegate some teams. I

343
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: get it. The problem is where do you relegate them too? Yeah,

344
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: there's not enough teams right there. You don't want to

345
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: you don't want to shorten the league. Don't want to

346
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: go from thirty two teams down to twenty four or

347
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: eighteen or sixteen or twenty whatever. You don't want to

348
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: have that happen because you don't want the league to

349
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: shrink because you can always get a team that goes

350
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: from worst to first. It's happened too often for that

351
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: to happen. Plays or a good example, that's at Jaggle

352
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: for years and they get Burrow. They catch lightning in

353
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: a syllable. That's right, they catch lightning in a bottle.

354
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: It has happened so often you don't really want to

355
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: take that out of the mix. Certainly. There have been

356
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: teams that have struggled. I mean, you know, the Bears,

357
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, recently the Jacksonville Jaguars, although you know

358
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville in their history have played well under when

359
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: Tom Coffin first started the franchise. You know, there's a

360
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: lot that goes into it. Relegation is the problem. Number

361
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: one problem is who are they going to play if

362
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: they don't play in the NFL. Yeah, you'd be playing

363
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 1: the same team every three weeks. You can't nobody us

364
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: to see that, right. And then, I mean it may

365
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: sound funny at first, but fantasy football is such a

366
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: big deal, man, then what do you do? What do

367
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 1: you do with those teams? What are you gonna do? Right?

368
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: Those teams that are relegated. Is there a separate fantasy league?

369
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: They can't be in the NFL in right? Right? I

370
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: get it. I get it, like it's a fun thought

371
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: to kick around, but there's in practice, there's no shot

372
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: it just right. It just couldn't happen, right. Another one. Uh,

373
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: that's a really good suggestion. I think that it has

374
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: some Merit is to mess with, not mess with, but

375
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: change the parameters of field goals themselves. You can do

376
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: that by putting an extra set of uprights inside the

377
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: normal uprights, which are eighteen and some inches apart. You

378
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: can make some that are four feet inside that make them,

379
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: you know, eleven feet and some inches apart up inside,

380
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: So you'd have a four pronged set of goalposts. Now

381
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: why would you say? Here's why? On longer field goals

382
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: hit the suggestion was that you have to hit it

383
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: through the narrower uprights, not the wider ones. When you

384
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: get close, it's easy. When you've pushed the ball further

385
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: into their territory, or gotten the ball further into their territory,

386
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: it's an easier score for points when you have to work.

387
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: It gets easier once you get closer. Further away the narrow.

388
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: You have to hit the narrower goal posts. So you think, wow,

389
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: that's makes it even harder. Yes, it makes it even

390
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: harder to score points, but it also incentivizes moving the

391
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: football closer. It would be weird to see a running

392
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: back run backwards five yards right right in order to

393
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: get an extra point for a kick, and because it'd

394
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: be a little further because part of the suggestion was

395
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: that if it's an over fifty yard attempt, you'd get

396
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: four points for it. Yeah, and okay, so let's carry

397
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: that to the extreme. So you get like you said,

398
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: you're pushing it down. You got the ball on the

399
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: thirty five, which makes it no on the thirty which

400
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: makes it a forty seven yard attempt. So do you

401
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: drop back three yards? He can feel down, so it's

402
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: a fifty yard attempt in order to get the extra point.

403
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: Though an extra point on top of the three points,

404
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: it'd be a four pointer instead of a three pointer

405
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: if he can put it through the narrower uprights. That's

406
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: where you're looking at. And I have a problem with

407
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: any time when you incentivize not doing your best. Sure, right,

408
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: that's a problem, and that's something the league fights against.

409
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: And it's unintended consequences. However, what if you got you know,

410
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: your point, it would take ties. It would take overtime

411
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: right off the table. Because how about if you got

412
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: four points for a fifty yard or or five points

413
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: for fifty five yard or four points for at fifty

414
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: yard or you know, three points for a thirty five

415
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: five to fifty yard or and it goes all the

416
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: way down to a one point for anything under twenty

417
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: five yards. What if he took points off that, but

418
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: it became more sure, like you know, like you said,

419
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: like the field goals, of the field goal, the wideness

420
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: of the upright, I don't know. The combination of scores

421
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: would be so wide ranging it would all eliminate. It

422
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: would almost eliminate overtime. What if it was like a

423
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: tenth of a point for every yard the field, then

424
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: overtime would be gone. It would it would be there'd

425
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: be one overtime game a season. It wouldn't even be

426
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: no way, well yeah it wouldn't be, probably not, probably not,

427
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: But every field goal would be a different value. But

428
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: if you took extra point, I think about it, if

429
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: a fifty five yard is worth five and a half points,

430
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: but if you picked where you kicked the extra point from,

431
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: you get to pick the distance, and it's the tenth

432
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: of a point every yard. Right, you want to talk

433
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: about putting, well, then you then you got it. You

434
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: gotta make it inside the smaller uprights though, right, I

435
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: mean maybe do you get what I'm saying? Right, I'm

436
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: let the extra points you get to you gotta marinate on.

437
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: I gotta percolate on that one you get. I tell

438
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: you what you want to talk about incentivizing having a

439
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: good kicker, because now if you've got just a kicker

440
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: and you're lining it up from thirty five and you're like, okay,

441
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident with this. If you've got Tyler bass

442
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: and you're going I'm gonna drop back to fifty because

443
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: I know he's going to split the upright, it's no

444
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: big deal. Actually got five points, My extra points gonna

445
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: be well even if just say it's worth three, you

446
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: get a three point extra point instead of a one

447
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: point extra point. That's huge. Man, oh man, that would

448
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: change everything. That makes my head explode. That's wild. But yeah,

449
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: that's it. I'm I struggle with messing with the points

450
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But yeah, you've got to incentivize I

451
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: think you've got to continue to incentivize trying your best.

452
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: When you start not doing that, you run into problems.

453
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 1: But I this field goal stuff is really intriguing to

454
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: me because that's one way you could really change the

455
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: dynamics or the end of drives or the you know,

456
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: the games and all of that stuff. Wow, we'll see

457
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: a lot a lot for a Tuesday. It's a lot

458
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: for a Tuesday, and it's a lot for a feeble

459
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: mind like mine. That because it really does add a

460
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: dimension and one of the things. And I was in

461
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: the room when they when they decided on changing the

462
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: kickoff rules after so many decades where you have now

463
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: it is what it is now. I was in the

464
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: room when they were deciding that. The one thing that

465
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: overrides those discussions is unintended consequences, the ripple effects. Because

466
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: it's so complicated and the rules books are so complicated,

467
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: they run into things where a guy will see a

468
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: loophole and all of a sudden he's beaten the system

469
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: them somehow unexpectedly, and it gives them a game or whatever.

470
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: Because even if it gives them a game, they'll change

471
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: the rule immediately, but you know that game has gone

472
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: so they don't like where it will change the entire

473
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: strategy of the game in order to make this other

474
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: thing happen because of a new rule change. That kind

475
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: of thing. They really go in and out of trying

476
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: to outsmart the rule book when they change these rules.

477
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: And that tenth of a point for every yard a

478
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: field goal is that would Yeah, I don't know that.

479
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that it would change. I don't know

480
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: that you could find a loophole in giving a team

481
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: a chance to pick their distance for an extra point.

482
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't know how that would because US downs scored

483
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: right right, you're still matter what I mean, you have

484
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: a chat. You could probably still go for two. That

485
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: would still be an option. You could kick from the

486
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: normal spot where it is now for one point, or

487
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: you could give them the opportunity a team and opportunity

488
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: a coach, a kicker to drop back ten yards for

489
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: one more point. So you go for two with a

490
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: long field goal, yes, yes, now, or you can go

491
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: for three and bump it back twenty yards because I

492
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: don't because you're not really doing anything. You're not taking

493
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: maybe forty five yard or for for three points. Yeah,

494
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: and I'm just throwing that number out. I'm saying that

495
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: taker with it. Yeah, you can, you can move that

496
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: number around. It's interesting, but it's Yeah, anytime you're gonna

497
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: you got a kicker like that, you're gonna go for

498
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: those extra points. You've course got a match. Yeah, yeah,

499
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean And and the immediate future, the Bills would

500
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: be in a sweet spot. Racer Tyler Bass sure, big

501
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: strong leg. And you want to see you want to

502
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: see kickers start getting drafted, right, you know what, You're right,

503
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: we'd be talking about kickers getting drafted in the fourth round. Yeah,

504
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: and so third and several. Yeah, you're right, you're right,

505
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: all right. Last one, this is a no in this segment,

506
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: this first segment of the show on a no brainer.

507
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: And then is the Super Bowl Saturday instead of Super

508
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. This just means moving the moving the Super

509
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: Bowl up twenty four hours after a two week layoff

510
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: after the championship games, and having all day Sunday without

511
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: the NFL in just giving you a chance to recover, recovers,

512
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: a good word, recover from a long build up to

513
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: a big game. Yeah, they should do it. Yeah, this

514
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: should be the year they do it for us. Um,

515
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: I like that. I like it. I'm all about a

516
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl super Bowl Saturday is we should have a

517
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: national referendum that just just sign a petition that says, listen,

518
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: from now on, play the super Bowl on a Saturday.

519
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: It absolutely makes too much sense. Companies and businesses around

520
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: the country would back that. One. People are celebrating a

521
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Sunday and their team wins, and I'm gonna

522
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: need to take a sick day, right, I'm gonna need Hey,

523
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make it till noon today, right right,

524
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm off today. I'm taking a sick day. Yeah. Plus,

525
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like it you're depriving the teams

526
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: of the ability to prepare because they get a week

527
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: off between them. Anyway, m if you're not ready the travel,

528
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: the travel becomes much easier for the hundreds of thousands

529
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: of people who go in and out of the super

530
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: Bowl city. You're just you're just eat the The parade

531
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: takes place the next day. It's on a Sunday. They

532
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 1: come back. They got that thing all planned. You just

533
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: hop on the buses, go down the street, and that's

534
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: all done for the next work day. Business can go

535
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: on and everybody feel a little bit better. It's just

536
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: a no brainer. Super Bowl Saturday. Yeah, I love it.

537
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: And then I'd like to hear the counter argument. I

538
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: don't know that there is one. I don't know who.

539
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know how it is though, somebody to

540
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: find somebody to find an issue with it. Yeah, somebody would,

541
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: But come on, there's I mean, it makes too much sense.

542
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying I'm not condoning the way, you know,

543
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: people getting out of hand and all that. I'm just

544
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: saying for travel and all that stuff. You know that,

545
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: because you know, you have to have a party. The

546
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: game doesn't get over and the hoop law doesn't get

547
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: over until like ten thirty at night. Then you got

548
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: to kick the people out of here, kick the people

549
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: out of your house, clean up after the party, you

550
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: drive home whatever, and you gotta get up for work

551
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: the next morning after being away from home all day

552
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: the day before. You're doing it on a Saturday, get up,

553
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: have yourself some coffee. Yeah, I'm I'm all about it.

554
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: I am all about it. That is of all the

555
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: thirty that is the absolute. And there's a couple of

556
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of them that are pretty good. This one,

557
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: like I said, just if you put this on the ballot,

558
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: they would pass unanimously, even in this political climate. Um

559
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, Josh Reid, we're here here, tell you here

560
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: with you until three. We've got we're gonna go through

561
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: a bunch more of these topics. What do you think?

562
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: What is your idea to improve the NFL. We understand it.

563
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: It's not broken, but we've got a lot of ideas

564
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna here's some of these. This is an article

565
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: that Peter King put out from Football Morning and America,

566
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: friend of the show, and we thought it was a

567
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: great idea and some of them were really great and

568
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: some of them were poking some holes in You can

569
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: come join us at eight three, five fifty. This is

570
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo

571
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Lives. Steve Tasked

572
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: along with Josh Reid, we're improving the National Football League

573
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: today with our friend Peter King of Football Morning in America.

574
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: We got a couple of you know, suggestions here that

575
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: are actually you know, they're okay, and a lot of

576
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: it has to do with the way their game presents

577
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: on television, and I get it. One of the things

578
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: is that they say, is the play clock going to

579
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: not the play clock? I want to get there yet,

580
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh d night games earlier. Having these games get over

581
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: like eleven thirty at night on the East Coast is

582
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: too late for some people, like the Monday night games,

583
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: the Thursday night games, and the Sunday night games. Is

584
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: you can't. It's tough for people to stay up that late.

585
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: And I've got a running back in fantasy football. I

586
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: gotta stay up in a game I don't really even

587
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: care about because I gotta see if he gets that

588
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 1: extra ten yards, I think it stakes off. And I

589
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: know this too young kids. Some parents are all right,

590
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: just watch the game. I don't care, but some kids,

591
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's rough on them. And if you

592
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: want to grow the game, you got to make sure

593
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: kids can see all the games they want to see

594
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: for the next generation, which leads into one of the

595
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: other suggestions that they had, and that is on Sundays,

596
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: you have the one o'clock, the four twenty five, and

597
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: the eight twenty five kickoff. And we already talked about

598
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: the eight twenty five being moved up so they can

599
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: get it done. Another one is they because when they

600
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: have games in London where you can get up on

601
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: the East Coast and there's nine am or ten am

602
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: game coming on in London, and having an early broadcast

603
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: window on Sundays for everybody in the country where you

604
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: can get up like in the West Coast one o'clock

605
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 1: Eastern time is what time is it? It's like ten am.

606
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: It's perfect right, people love it. So put one of

607
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: those in for the East Coast as well, so people

608
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: can get up in the morning and watch football on

609
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: a Sunday at ten am. I don't have a problem

610
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: with that if they want to, but it just gives

611
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: them one more window, and you know, makes more. It

612
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: gives them access to another game that you can watch live. Yeah.

613
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: I've been out on the West Coast before covering a

614
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: Bill's game and the games have started and you're sitting

615
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: there in the hotel and you're going, it's ninety five

616
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: and there's a game getting ready to start, right, and

617
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Yeah, it's great. You want to talk about

618
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: filling your day with the NFL, I mean it is

619
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: literally for the minute you wake up. Now the problem

620
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: would be covering the games. If you're you're here on

621
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: the East Coast, right, and it's an East Coast game

622
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: that early, yeah, who you're getting up bright and early.

623
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: But then again, your day, your day ends early. Right.

624
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: If you're at the stadium and you're a fan, right,

625
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: you're going to the game. Sure, you got to be

626
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: at the tailgate now at eight am, but you're also

627
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: you're done tailgating bye by four and you're done and

628
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: you're out. Yeah, you're like you're home by four, yeah,

629
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: home by two o'clock. You can go home, watch the

630
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: night game at home. Yeah you know, yeah, you're yeah,

631
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 1: you're you're on your couch by the four o'clock kick.

632
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: That's right now, that that makes a lot of sense

633
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: to me. It's just instead of putting the games later

634
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: at night, later night, put them earlier. Yeah, one o'clock

635
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: is great. I mean, it's it's a tradition. But if

636
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: you have one game, maybe it's a national game, kicks

637
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: it off at ten am East Coast time, and do

638
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: it um Now, it does preclude where that game's kicking off.

639
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: You can't kick it off in La no, you know,

640
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: at six am. I don't think you can you want

641
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: to fla they people would watch, people would get up

642
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: knowing that they need, you know, two touchdown passes from

643
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: their starting fantasy quarter back. Here's another one too, and

644
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: some of these suggestions, and rightfully, we talk about this

645
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: all the time. Technology plays a role in some of

646
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: these suggestions. Here's one that and how many times to

647
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: drive you crazy when you see Aaron un this this

648
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: guy the suggestion came this to Aaron Rodgers rule. Okay, well,

649
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: there's some of the quarterbacks push the play clock as

650
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: late as they can, and you'd swear because you can

651
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: see the play we can all see the play clock.

652
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: He sees the play clock, and they go a half

653
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: second or a second late every single time, and they

654
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: don't get called because the official looks at the play

655
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: clock when it's zero, he comes down and looks at

656
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: the ball, and between the zero and coming down, then

657
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: the ball is snapped between those times, so they always

658
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: give him that extra half second or full second. Aaron

659
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers has worked that forever, and what they should do,

660
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: and what they're saying now is put a buzzer that

661
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: the official can feel or here on his belt that

662
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: is in tune with the play clock. They reset the

663
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: play clock, and when the official feels the buzz and

664
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: the ball's not snap, it's a flag. Now you're splitting

665
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: hairs to me because the reason the quarterback like Aaron Rodgers,

666
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: pushes it that first, because they let him push it

667
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: that far. As soon as they change it, he'll stop

668
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: and he'll snap it on one instead of zero. But

669
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: some of the stuff like that being used or being suggested,

670
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: it drives people crazy when they see the other guy

671
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: doing that. Sure, And to your point, and it's the point,

672
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers does it because Aaron Rodgers has been able

673
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 1: to get away with it. They'll tell you right now,

674
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: a rookie is trying to push that, I'm not getting

675
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: away with it. Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers. He's gonna

676
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: get a a more wiggle room. And I'll say this too.

677
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: Every team's got a file on officials. Sure, they know

678
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: who calls that stuff and who doesn't. Sure, And they'll

679
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: go into the game and they'll tell and they work them.

680
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: They'll say, listen, i'm gonna get this playoff. I can

681
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: do it whenever I want, but I'm gonna push the

682
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: play clock to the limb and I promise I'm gonna

683
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: get it off and not make you look bad. And

684
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 1: the officials like, fine, I appreciate it. Or he's gonna say,

685
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: don't push me. Now, what's Aaron Rodgers reading in a defense?

686
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: And that point it's film study too, some guys, some

687
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: guys getting hey, I don't know right, but they do

688
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: really later you push it. The later you push it,

689
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: the more anty the defense gets. Plus, if you start

690
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: doing it like that, you kind of if you can

691
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: and think about it, you can see Aaron Rodgers do this.

692
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: The defense can watch the play clock two and they

693
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: know he's got a snap it at zero, so they

694
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: go on zero and he snaps it at zero point five.

695
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: They're off sides, first down, first down, no risk, no fuss,

696
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: no muscle, let's go. And I guess if he does

697
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: it so often and then snaps it on two, you've

698
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: got You've got defensive linemen back on their heels a

699
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: little bit, that's right, because they know that he usually

700
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: winds it all the way down goes three. Yeah, and

701
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: a lot of this and some of these, a lot

702
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: of these suggestions that we're going over here in this uh,

703
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: in this uh, this list of thirty ways to improve

704
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: the NFL have to do with the clock, play clock,

705
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: and how fast the game is. Another good one is

706
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: that you've all seen it where if you've been in

707
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: the stadium, you know they have these guys that carry

708
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: bags full of footballs and follow the play up and down.

709
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: They got guys that hold a couple of them, and

710
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: the official like when the guy catch the ball, goes

711
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: out of bounds, drops the ball or whatever, the official

712
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: kind of roots around, gets the ball. Ball boy comes

713
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: out and they give him a football and the guy

714
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: grabs it and he spots the ball. Lad lad dah,

715
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: and then they go over. The play clock starts when

716
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: they spot the ball. Well, the suggestion we have here

717
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: and I agree with it. They got to tighten that

718
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: up to me. So whatever happens to the football they

719
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: just played that play with, unless it's right there, the

720
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: guy grabs and puts it right down, there's a ball

721
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: boy right out, runs right out of the official gives

722
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: him a fresh football and off the field they spot

723
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: it and the clay clock goes right away. So you'll

724
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: be cutting and over the course of one hundred and

725
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: fifty plays of the game or one hundred and thirty

726
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: to one hundred and fifty plays. You'll cut five six

727
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: seconds off of each of them, which you do the math,

728
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: it's like fifteen minutes. Sure, and every of the game,

729
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: everybody wants things quicker now, right, right? Every everyone? Well,

730
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: not only quicker, but I want to see what I

731
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: want to see. I want to see him play. I

732
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: don't want to see the officials spot the ball and

733
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: hold stand over the ball and hold his hand up

734
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: looking around like are we all sat out? Okay? I

735
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: want to see the camera guy right running back to

736
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: the near the stands to go grab the football. That's right,

737
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: that's right. I want to see him spot the ball

738
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: in half. And it puts pressure on the players and

739
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: makes them be disciplined in an area of the game

740
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: we don't normally think about. Getting the huddle to get

741
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: the play called let's go, and you know, it forces

742
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: coaching staffs to communicate better. It forces them to have

743
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: the next play ready, to put the ball in play

744
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: and get the Can you imagine how awesome it would

745
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: be to have a two hour and forty minute football

746
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: game that was awesome and great, then a three hour

747
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: and ten minute football game that was awesome and great.

748
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: It just you know, yeah, everybody wants stuff package tighter, right,

749
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: And I know this too. They have done this in

750
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: the past. They went from fifteen minute a half times

751
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: to twelve minute a half times because they wanted the

752
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: game to fit in a three hour window, and that

753
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: was three minutes every game they got back right away. Yeah. No,

754
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: I will warn you about this because it won't take

755
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: long for this to happen. They'll shave the five minutes

756
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: off you're talking about, and guess where that's gonna go,

757
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: right into commercials. Yeah. So guess what that game that

758
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: you're talking about saving an extra five minutes on, it's

759
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 1: still gonna fit that. They'll sort that out. They'll sort

760
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: to be more tied commercials. They'll sort Yeah, they'll be

761
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: selling chevies and forwards. Yeah, I get it, And you're right, Um,

762
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: it does come down to that, And they'll do all

763
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: of this stuff. They would do any of this stuff

764
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: if it made them money. But they'll do all of

765
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: it if it doesn't lose them money. Sure cost him money,

766
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: and I get that, and that's I'm I'm okay with that.

767
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: But by the same token, let's tighten it up. I

768
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 1: don't I know I can recognize far too many white

769
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,759

Speaker 1: there you see there. When you see they are a

780
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: part of the game. You know they are going to

781
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: be that is part of the game that is not

782
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: optimum in my opinion. All Right, we're gonna take a break.

Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

793
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: It's summer and Bill's head coach, Sean McDermot wants us

794
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: all thinking about sun defense. Coach is passionate about skin

795
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: cancer prevention as it runs in his family, and he

796
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: takes sun protection very seriously. Most importantly, of course, is

797
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: wearing sunscreen. Right now, you can stop by your local

798
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: Wegmans for all of your sun protection needs. Wegmans will

799
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: donate a dollar for every Wegman's sunscreen product sold through

800
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: August thirty first in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse stores. It's

801
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: a great way to protect your family and help the

802
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: fight against skin cancer and think sun defense. Like Bill's

803
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: head coach, Sean McDermott, it's a great cause. I've lost

804
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: a family member to six skin cancer and I feel

805
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: that loss every day, so I'm glad Sean's doing that's

806
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: great and thank you Wegmans for being a part of

807
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: that as well. Josh Reid, Steve Tasker Here, One Bill's Live.

808
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: We're talking about ways to improve the National Football League.

809
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 1: It's not really broken. I don't know if you've noticed,

810
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: but we're still polishing it a little bit, I think.

811
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: And one of the things that came up, and this

812
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: is the one that we were going crazy over here.

813
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: It is now. As you know, seven teams from each

814
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: conference make the playoffs and they are seated one through seven.

815
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: The top seed gets a buy and then two through

816
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: seven play each other. Two plays, the seven seed, three plays,

817
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: the six four plays to five. The suggestion was to

818
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: add a little bit of spice, and I love it

819
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: is to have the teams that makes The number one

820
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: seed gets the bye week, the number two seed gets

821
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: to pick. I love it who they play in the

822
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: wildcard round of the playoffs. They get to pick their opponent,

823
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: and then whoever they pick, then the three seed gets

824
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: to pick of the remaining two, and then of course

825
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: the four seed gets to play whoever's left. I love it.

826
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: What a storyline. I love it. I love it, what

827
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: a storyline. Going into the game. Interviewing players in the

828
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: locker room, I love love love if your team was picked,

829
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: if that two seed picked your team, basically saying we

830
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: want to play you because you're the easiest. So last

831
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: year the next round. So let's last year. Let's just

832
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: say this. So Kansas City's the two seed, they get

833
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: a pick from whoever they want, and they get a

834
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: pick from Buffalo, Cincinnati, Vegas, New England, Pittsburgh, and they

835
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: just say they pick Pittsburgh. Right, you're the Pittsburgh Steelers

836
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: and they pick you to go in there and play them,

837
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: your hand picked as their opponent. That's great. Oh, such

838
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: a fun storyline. What if it just absolutely reeks of provocation?

839
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: Oh and the beauty? How about this who's making who's

840
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: actually the decision maker on who you're picking? Because the

841
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 1: coaches there's gonna be some players, right that if you're

842
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: an offensive guy, they disagree. Yeah, if you're an offensive guy,

843
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: you may look at their defense and go, no, no, no,

844
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: we don't want to play them. The Steelers are a

845
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: great example, right right, So if you're a if you're

846
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: a defensive player, you're looking at the Steelers offense, go on,

847
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: get give me the Steelers. But if you're an offensive guy,

848
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: you're looking at the Steelers going I don't want to

849
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: see what I'm going And then how much how much

850
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: weight do the players carry in that decision and the

851
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: coach and versus the coach, think about this, think about this.

852
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: So you go on and whoever it is you lose

853
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: or what, talk about think about the fan basis and

854
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: the discussions. They'll have so much trash. There will be

855
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: so much second guessing and trash talking. Oh my gosh,

856
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: it is so that is such a delicious idea. I

857
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: love it. That is so good. See for instance, like

858
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: last year Tennessee. Then then the next round, let's say

859
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: the game's all happen like they were. So it's Tennessee,

860
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Buffalo, and Cincinnati in the next round, Who's

861
00:45:55,480 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee pick? How about this reverse take one step back? Right, So,

862
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: so let's just say Kansas City took Pittsburgh. Imagine the

863
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: Bills taking the Patriots because they should have, but right

864
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: the way they dumped them, but right they crushed that. Yes,

865
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: you're taking the team in your division, going, Bruce Lee

866
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: standing there in this little stance and giving you a

867
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: little finger, come on, bring it. Yeah. Oh my gosh, yeah, yeah,

868
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 1: dance on their grave. Unbelievable. Yeah, that's fun. That's fun

869
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: to think of. Unbelievable and then what if what if tennis,

870
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: what if Kansas City being the Chiefs, they picked somebody

871
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: like Cincinnati or Vegas, like the four or five seed,

872
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: you know, instead of the six seven. Sure, because it's

873
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: all matchup. It's all matchups. And you know, Cincinnati thinking, okay,

874
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: you know they they thumped them in the regular season,

875
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: beat them. I don't know, I I can't remember there was

876
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: a game they did. I think Cincinnati actually gave him

877
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: a good game. I'll check that real quick. But the

878
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: think about the ramifications of that, well, then you've you

879
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: fast forward then going into that second round. Yeah, Tennessee,

880
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: you talk about a huge advantage then for them, think

881
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: about it. The Bengals beat Kansas City thirty four thirty

882
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: one in Week seventeen last year. So Chiefs are not

883
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: gonna want any part of that. Or maybe they do.

884
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: They maybe they want to say, hey, bring it back,

885
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: come on back, because you're coming to our town this time. Right,

886
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: But imagine the advantage now if you're Tennessee, because now

887
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: let's face it, week to week, there's injuries. Right, the

888
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: team that has an injury pop up that wins, you go,

889
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: they're a little more vulnerable. Now, yeah, I want them.

890
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: I want to try Henry's out of the lineup. Sure,

891
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Tanniels got a bad wheel. Whatever it is, I'll

892
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: play that team. We'll take a shot at him, particularly

893
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: in our place, right in our place. It's fun. Oh

894
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: my goys, it is. It's it's total provocation and you're

895
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: forced to and from a media person's seat, it's I mean,

896
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: talk about its goal. It's goal, Jerry, it's gold, think

897
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: about it. Um. It's just that would be so fun.

898
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: And because then you gotta eat, because here's what you

899
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: gotta do. You can't have you don't want your head

900
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: coach going out there. Yeah we want we want the Bengals,

901
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: that's who we want. We Yeah, they can't hang with us.

902
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: That kind of thing. You have to have the league

903
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: announce where the games are. Here's how the because you

904
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: don't want anybody in your team standing up there and going,

905
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: we think we can beat that team today. But the

906
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: first question in the locker room and the coaches is

907
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: why did you pick them? Because because we think we can,

908
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 1: we can roll up. They're the easiest path of the

909
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: next they're our best matchup. This guy and this guy stink,

910
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: and we can have to pick somebody, right, we had

911
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: to pick somebody and they're the worst team, right, yeah,

912
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: we actually they just drew a name out of a hat.

913
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Or that's what That's the only way

914
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: you could do it. If you go out there and

915
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: just have like golf ball, you know, ping pong balls

916
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: in a thing. We're just gonna do it by random

917
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: because we don't really care. That would be the quintessential,

918
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: like it's not up to us. Yeah, but every team

919
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 1: would want to pick you. They wouldn't they waste that

920
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: all four all four of them and have the patent,

921
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: right yeah, all four ping pong balls or the Patriots,

922
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: right you would yeah, right, yeah, huge label every single

923
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: one with the same team logo, every ball. But but

924
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 1: every team they wouldn't love the idea of having people

925
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: know that they picked that team, but the idea they

926
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: would love the ability to do that, to do it. Yeah,

927
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: it makes sense because you you know, because you know,

928
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: you feel like even fans, you feel like you know

929
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: so much about those teams and what they are, even

930
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: as casual fan, like we knew we felt like we

931
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: knew who Cincinnati was. We felt like we knew who

932
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots were. The Raiders. We knew those teams. You

933
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: kind of got a feel for who they are and

934
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: what they are, so you think, okay, we can And

935
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,439
Speaker 1: for the Bills, it's like you know you're the three seat.

936
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: You think, all right, we can match up with just

937
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: about anybody. But if you're gonna pick you know, you know,

938
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chiefs aren't picking the Bills. You know

939
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: what I mean, They're not picking The Chiefs are not

940
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: picking the Bills. But everybody and I and I get it.

941
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: The seating here is we know these teams. The Bills

942
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: might have picked Pittsburgh, Yeah right, because they got a

943
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: beat by them on week opening weekend and now everything's

944
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: a little different, and we'll see you might want to

945
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: take a shot. Or would they pick New England? Plus

946
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: they what a state? Plus they get the crowd would

947
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: be all about the statement that would make all right, Yeah,

948
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: that is a fun That is a fun suggestion that

949
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: I would I would get behind. Steve Tasker, Josh, we

950
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: were gonna be back with Chris Brown and Maddie Glad.

951
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: We got a couple of videos we want to show

952
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: you about some previews to the Buffalo Bills training camp.

953
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: This is one Bill's Live One Bill's Drive. This is

954
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve pastor who has spent

955
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: all all over the fields kind of unique. He was

956
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve

957
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: a blimp. We're not even in the stratore of normalcy.

958
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: Bill's training camp at Saint John Fisher's just twelve days away.

959
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna preview this year's camp with our latest installment

960
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: of Training Camp Countdown, presented by Connors and Ferris. Maddie

961
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: Glab and Chris Brown break down what the offense will

962
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: look like with new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and what

963
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 1: they think Josh Allen is going to improve on this season.

964
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: Here's Maddie Glab. We continue to count down to bill

965
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: Training camp with some of the most anticipated storylines of

966
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: the season. Mattie Glab here alongside Bill's insider Chris Brown.

967
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: We are presented by Connors and Ferris Today. One of

968
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 1: the biggest storylines has to be what this Bill's offense

969
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: could look like in the twenty twenty two season, and

970
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: first off, I'm so excited to see Dorsey's stamp on

971
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: this offense with some of the added weapons that the

972
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: Bills have this season. I mean, the opposing defenses be

973
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: warned because this could be a pretty explosive offense. So, Chris,

974
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: how do you think they could look different this season? Yeah,

975
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean I think we look at what could change here,

976
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: and obviously, as you mentioned, it's Dorsey's stamp on it.

977
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm anticipating a more aggressive approach offensively. This is a

978
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,919
Speaker 1: team that's entrenched in this system. On the offensive side

979
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: of the ball. As Dorsey has said, a lot of

980
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 1: it is going to remain the same. The terminology is

981
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: the same, so they can really hit the ground running here.

982
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: Incorporate the new pieces. But I think of that runway

983
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: that exists already. Even though Dorsey is a first time

984
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: play caller, he's been here for three years. He knows

985
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: what works what doesn't. He'll incorporate the new pieces, and

986
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: I think he'll have the confidence to take an aggressive

987
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: approach with the talenty as it is disposal. Okay, so

988
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: bigger picture there. In twenty twenty one, the Bill's averaged

989
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: just under thirty points the game twenty eight point four,

990
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: which ranked thirty in the NFL, and they also had

991
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 1: the fifth best offense overall. So Josh Allen is entering

992
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: his fifth NFL season. Where did the time go in

993
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: his first few years in the NFL? I can't believe

994
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: he's already entering year five. But taking a look at

995
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: just Josh Allen, how do you think he can improve

996
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: in his fifth season? Yeah, I mean we're we heard

997
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: that he wanted to improve on throwing players open to

998
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 1: establish a better yards after catch total for this team.

999
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,760
Speaker 1: They finished I think thirtieth in yards after the catch

1000
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: last year, which, okay, if you're gonna nip pick for

1001
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,479
Speaker 1: a top five offense and you want to find something

1002
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: where they can get better, that's probably one area. I

1003
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: think that Josh wants to also have a higher completion percentage.

1004
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: He was about a little over sixty four percent last year.

1005
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: The year prior he was closer to seventy percent. I

1006
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: think he wants to get back to that number. So

1007
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: increasing the efficiency rate of this passing game, I think

1008
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: is another area where he definitely wants to be better.

1009
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: And you know, you can look at all of the

1010
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: throws from last year and decide, well, is that one

1011
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: on Josh? Is that on the receiver, is it on

1012
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: the weather conditions, is it on the defense? I'm sure

1013
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: they've diced it up seven different ways to Sunday, but

1014
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, he wants

1015
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: to be a more efficient passer as well. He had

1016
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: forty two total touchdowns in twenty twenty one, which ranked

1017
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: second in the NFL, but also had fifteen interceptions, which

1018
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: tied for second most. So he's talked about, you know,

1019
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: I want to cut down on limiting some of those

1020
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: interception and giving the team more opportunities to score. And

1021
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: when you look at Josh Allen and Ken Dorsey, the

1022
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: fact that they've been together for several seasons already. Sean

1023
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: McDermott pointed this out during mini camp. He said, I

1024
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: think we are light years ahead because we have an

1025
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in Ken Dorsey. So the pairing of those two,

1026
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: it's the obvious is of course they're a step forward.

1027
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 1: But if you get into it a little bit more,

1028
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: why do you think they're going to start off on

1029
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: the right foot instead of you know, okay, we need

1030
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: to ramp up here, we got to learn the terminology,

1031
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: we got to do X y Z. Why are they

1032
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,959
Speaker 1: already at step five here? Because of what you said,

1033
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,800
Speaker 1: there is a base and a foundation that already exists

1034
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: based on their prior relationship and the fact that the

1035
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,479
Speaker 1: scheme is staying largely the same, So that allows them

1036
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: to refine certain things or put in some new things

1037
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: to say, hey, let's see if this works well with

1038
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: the complement of weapons that we have. I think the

1039
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: other thing that's going to happen here is, even though

1040
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: I am anticipating a more aggressive approach, I think it's

1041
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: going to be based on calculated risk, not reckless abandoned

1042
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: lie let's just throw coft the wing to chuck it

1043
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: all over the field. And so you say, well, how

1044
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: do they do that? So I think they can be

1045
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: more aggressive by spreading the field more often empty backfield

1046
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: type stuff. But I think also to help Josh with

1047
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: his completion percentage and keep it an efficient offense, we

1048
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: could be looking at more shorter completions, high efficiency throws,

1049
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: throws that are more likely to be completed than say

1050
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: the fifty yard bombs down the field. Now that's not

1051
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: to say they're not going to call shot plays. They'll

1052
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: have their share of those within the scope of the offense.

1053
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: But I think this offense has advanced to a point

1054
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: where they can be aggressive take calculated risk while also

1055
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: being a high efficiency offense. Okay, you talked about some

1056
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: of the things that the Bills could do differently. Those

1057
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,800
Speaker 1: short passes. One thing that I'm excited about just because

1058
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 1: of Ken Dorsey himself. We know his record at Miami

1059
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: thirty eight and two, which is wild. This guy knows

1060
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: how to win football games. And I love that he's

1061
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: seen the game from advantage point of being a quarterback.

1062
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: He knows what it's like to be in those moments.

1063
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: He knows what it's like to probably have some really

1064
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: unique weapons on a team. And we look at this roster.

1065
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: We have some new players. We have even O J. Howard,

1066
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: We have a James Cook, we have in Jamison Crowder.

1067
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: What new pieces to this offense could add a new wrinkle? Yeah,

1068
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 1: well I've Cook is the one that stands out because

1069
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: it's a weapon out of the backfield that they haven't

1070
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 1: had before in the Sean McDermott era. So you take

1071
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: a guy with polished route running skills from the running

1072
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: back position. Also the guy who's got the fastest forty

1073
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,919
Speaker 1: time in the offensive backfield at four to four two,

1074
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,959
Speaker 1: and provided that he is quick on the uptake, he's

1075
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: going to be on the field just because of the

1076
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: skills he provides. From that position, he offers a very

1077
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: number of options to Ken Dorsey coming out of the

1078
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: backfield or lining up out wide. So he adds an

1079
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: air of unpredictability the offense from the offensive backfield. So

1080
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: that's number one. Number two, and I've said this before,

1081
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,919
Speaker 1: I believe Jamison Crowder is a better yards after catch

1082
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: receiver than Cole Beasley. They're both accomplished, they both have

1083
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: their set of strengths, but I think what Crowder brings

1084
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: is more yards after the catch. He's not just going

1085
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: to get to this and fall down. There may be

1086
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: an adr touchdown in there somewhere where he's running sixty

1087
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: of those yards. So because of that, I think you

1088
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: can point to the short completions to guys like Cook,

1089
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: to guys like Crowder, but they can turn them into

1090
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: something much bigger than that. Expectations for this offense. Are

1091
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: you expecting this offense to be a better offense than

1092
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: it was last season? This was one of the best

1093
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: offenses in the NFL last season, But with some of

1094
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: those added pieces, are you expecting them to take that

1095
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: step forward? Yeah, it's hard to say, because we don't

1096
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: really know what Dorsey is going to be as a

1097
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: play caller, his decisions in what to call are going

1098
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: to be just as important as how well the execution

1099
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: is on the field. I want to have some resolute

1100
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: faith in a guy that's sat in the quarterback position

1101
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: before knows how to call things. But it's different on

1102
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: game day when that play clock's running down and you've

1103
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: got to have a you have to have the right

1104
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: play for the right time and the right coverage that

1105
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: you're anticipating. So that's a work in progress. But I

1106
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: think because of the runway that this offense has produced

1107
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: in the past, you have an all world player in

1108
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,959
Speaker 1: Josh Allen at the most important position on the field,

1109
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: I would anticipate more of the same based on what

1110
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past, and that's a team that's

1111
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: scoring about twenty eight twenty nine points a game and

1112
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: is producing in the red zone and is unpredictable because

1113
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: of the new weapons that they've added. That creates a

1114
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 1: more balanced offensive situation. I'm not saying balance in terms

1115
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: of run as much as they pass, but balance in

1116
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: terms of being able to spread the wealth across the

1117
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: offensive front. Yeah, talking to new quarterbacks coach Joe Brady,

1118
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: he said, Number one, we have Josh Allen and that

1119
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: is what helps this offense so much. We've seen what

1120
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: he's done in the last four seasons. Year five should

1121
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: be really exciting. I also think another thing that could

1122
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: help is fingers cross a healthy and steady offensive line.

1123
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: The Bills did not have that last season. They had

1124
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: guys in and out of lineup. Hopefully that is not

1125
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: the case for twenty twenty two. But that's just a

1126
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: couple ways that the offense could look different. In me,

1127
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: we even better this season. So if you guys want

1128
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: any more training camp content as we count down to

1129
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: training camp, please head to Buffalo Bills dot com. For

1130
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Chris brown I'm Maddie Glab We'll see you guys in Rochester.

1131
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: Thanks Mattie and Brownie. That was good stuff And they're right,

1132
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of things different, a lot

1133
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: of things to look for in this new offense. Ken

1134
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: Dorsey is an unknown commodity, but so are some of

1135
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: the pieces that he's gonna have to work with in

1136
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: the new You know, jameson Crowd or James Cook, plus

1137
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: all the pieces that we know and no one love

1138
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: you know with Knox Digs, Davis, McKenzie, Singletary, oh, you know,

1139
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: the whole gang. And then the offensive line same thing.

1140
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: You got some new faces up there and all that.

1141
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: So it's there's a lot to take in and they

1142
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do to come together.

1143
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: I really like the decision to bring in Joe Brady.

1144
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,439
Speaker 1: I think it's really kind of flown under the radar,

1145
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: this guy who was an offensive coordinator Caroline. I. I

1146
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: know it went sideways there for him, but keep in mind,

1147
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: you know that that offense is built around Christian McCaffrey

1148
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: and he was never on the field. They never had

1149
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback that position and figured out. I think it's

1150
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,439
Speaker 1: good to have a guy like that in the room

1151
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: to kind of help Ken Dorsey and balance ideas off

1152
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: of him. You mentioned Aaron Cromer. That's another guy that

1153
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 1: you know. And one of the things that I've always

1154
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: been impressed with the Bills in their coaching staff and

1155
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: starts with Sean and trickles down. They're never afraid to

1156
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: not be the smartest guy in the room. They're they're

1157
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: always you always get the feeling that, hey, if you've

1158
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: got an idea. I mean, it may not go into play,

1159
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: we may not use it, but we want to hear it.

1160
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: And I've always respected that about you know, kind of

1161
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: the way they do things. And and I don't know,

1162
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: I just I think the Joe Brady addition, he's obviously

1163
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 1: going to be Josh's new right hand guy, right he's

1164
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback coach. So I think that I think that's

1165
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: a good fit and hiring him I think was a

1166
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,959
Speaker 1: really good move by by Sean and Brandon. It's quite

1167
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: a different offensive side of the football they have this year.

1168
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks coach, the offensive ordinator, although you know, Ken

1169
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Dorsey got moved up and Eric Cromer, the offensive line coach,

1170
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: moved in. So um, the offensive the wide receivers guys,

1171
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: same thing. Chad Hall still there. They got, you know, um,

1172
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: same running backs coach, that kind of thing. But there's

1173
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: some new voices, and those voices have had varying degrees

1174
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: of play calling and other things in their careers as well. Um,

1175
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: seventeen's got a big voice. Yeah, we were talking about that.

1176
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: I agree the thing about Josh, you know, I think, well,

1177
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: what's you know, do you think, Well, Okay, who's calling

1178
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: the place for you know, Josh has a voice, particularly

1179
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: now he's going into year five and he's been in

1180
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: this offense for four years, so he and Ken Dorsey

1181
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: was probably like this as a player too, say and

1182
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: we were talking about it, JOSHU probably say listen, I

1183
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: don't I don't like that play. I don't. I don't

1184
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: have any confidence in that play I can make that.

1185
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't like it what it

1186
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,479
Speaker 1: looks like when it drops back and when it looks

1187
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: like it's supposed to look. I don't like it. I

1188
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: don't see it that well, take it out and if

1189
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 1: you're not comfortable, they don't. They's not getting around to

1190
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: begin When that is common play in the NFL. Quarterback

1191
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: i'll say I want that that that out. But he'll

1192
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: also at this point too, particularly with Josh in an

1193
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: offense he knows so well, he'll have some contributions to

1194
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: make say well we you know, we what we could

1195
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: do is go back remember when we did you know,

1196
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: remember two years ago and we did this and this,

1197
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: let's switch it and try and try this those kind

1198
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: of thing. Ken Dorsey's gonna be really in tune with

1199
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: that because he played the position. He was doing the

1200
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: same thing as a kid, you know, young in his

1201
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: career say well, I'd like I'd rather have this guy

1202
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: run this and this guy do this route rather than that.

1203
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: And I remember sitting there talking to Frank Reich about

1204
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: red zone plays and he goes, I like this better

1205
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: out of three strong rather than this formation. And it

1206
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: was because he had a different guy running the route.

1207
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: You know, let's do it out of this formation, because

1208
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: then you got, you know, this guy running the at

1209
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: the corner route rather than this other dude, right, or

1210
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: a guy in a different position. Those kind of contributions

1211
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,439
Speaker 1: are key. It's not about the play, it's about where

1212
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: the guys line up and who's running this certain route.

1213
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: That makes a difference for quarterbacks. And those are the

1214
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: kind of subtleties that a quarterback can contribute to when

1215
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: you start banging around game plans. And it's really crucial

1216
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: now and it really Ken Dorsey is in a great spot.

1217
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: And although he's in a great spot, a lot of

1218
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: pressure comes with it because you don't want to see

1219
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: the offense take a step back after they were so

1220
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: good a year ago. Yeah, and it's really they've already

1221
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: built the chemistry. You know, it's not like he's the

1222
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator and doesn't have a rapport with Josh.

1223
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: They've been around at each other a couple of years.

1224
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean the trust is there. In fact, in fact,

1225
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: let's face it, when the opening happened an offensive coordinator,

1226
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: Josh made it pretty clear that there was someone in

1227
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: the building that he liked here, let's face it. Yeah,

1228
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: that's a big reason why Ken Dorsey's sitting there. Quarterbacks coach,

1229
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: people say, what did he do? Is he coached well?

1230
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: And actually the day Ball and Ken Dorsey now they

1231
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: coached Josh hands on that. The quarterback coach notoriously has

1232
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: been the guy that the uarterback would sit down with

1233
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: and moan and complain, say, what what do you do?

1234
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: Why is this? Why is this? Why am I doing this?

1235
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: What's going on with it? I don't like this, I

1236
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: don't like that that I tell him to change that,

1237
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: and vice versa. The offensive corner, you can tell the

1238
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach say, hey, get your boys shaping up, and

1239
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: we can't do this that that you know they can.

1240
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: It's unvarnished communication, right, but they don't do it to

1241
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: each other. They do it through the quarterbacks coach. So

1242
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback has, particularly now has a relationship with Ken

1243
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: Dorsey that he can just go to and say, dude,

1244
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, I hate that we can't and Dorsey will say, wait,

1245
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:42,439
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you know what I mean. So there's

1246
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: that level of communication that happens with the quarterback coach.

1247
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: And it's important because the huge there's human beings and

1248
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: there's dynamics at work in the workplace. You gotta you

1249
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: gotta feel good about each other, even if you fought

1250
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: tooth and nail all week. When you get to game

1251
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: the game, you're like, okay, now, all right, I get it,

1252
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: let's go. That's important. It's really really cut that middleman

1253
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: out of the the equation of the communication, and that's important.

1254
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: It's a different dynamic than it was with Dave Ball. Now,

1255
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: Dave Ball was a personal guy and he was coaching

1256
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean he was coaching him hard, and Josh would

1257
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: bust on him. I mean I witnessed it. Sure, you

1258
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 1: know they were buddies, and they're all buddies, they're all

1259
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: close friends. But when you need to commiserate with somebody

1260
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: who who's not the play caller or you know, there's

1261
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: and Maddie talked about it. The other thing is, and

1262
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: Josh has said it frequently, the fact that ken Ward

1263
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: of the helmet yes, is big in Josh's world. He

1264
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: knows that he has a lot of respect for those guys.

1265
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: It means something to those guys. A question about it. Also,

1266
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: we got another one. We continue the preview of the

1267
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: camp with another installment. Um Connors and Ferris sponsored this one. Well,

1268
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: Maddie glab Chris Brown. They're gonna break down the impact

1269
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: that Von Miller is gonna have on the defense, what

1270
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,919
Speaker 1: we could respect from a revamped defensive front. Here's Chris Brown.

1271
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to another installment of Camp Countdown, presented by Counters

1272
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: and Ferris. Chris Brown and Maddi clab with you were

1273
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: here to talk defensive line. And I don't have to

1274
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: tell you, Maddie that through the course of the off

1275
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: season it was Buffalo's defensive front that underwent the most

1276
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: turnover with five new free agent editions, the biggest of

1277
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: which was Von Miller, to the tune of six years

1278
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: and one twenty million dollars. But Maddie Miller is the

1279
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: lynchpin on which the improvement of Buffalo's pass rush hangs here, right. Yeah,

1280
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: the Bills swung big when they went after Von Miller,

1281
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: and I think they're hoping that. I don't think they

1282
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: are hoping that the return is going to be big too.

1283
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this team wanted and needed somebody who could

1284
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: really get after that quarterback, and he happens to be

1285
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: one of the best in the NFL. He comes in

1286
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: with one hundred and fifteen sacks and seven seasons of

1287
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: double digit sacks. He shows up in big games and

1288
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: when the Bills will meet it the most. He brings

1289
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 1: that veteran presence to the defensive line, which is going

1290
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: to be a huge help. And the Bills had forty

1291
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: two sacks last season. Miller should be able to take

1292
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: that group to the next level this year. We know

1293
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: it's not all about sacks. We hear defensive coordinator Leslie

1294
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Fraser talk about that a lot. You know, it's about

1295
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: quarterback hits, affecting the quarterback, moving the quarterback out of

1296
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: his out of the way where he's comfortable at. And

1297
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: I think von Miller is going to be a big

1298
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: asset on the defensive line when it comes to talking

1299
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 1: and thinking and doing all of that. Yeah, witnessing what

1300
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: he did in the playoffs alone, which is where I

1301
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 1: think a lot of that twenty million dollar price tag

1302
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: is coming from, because that's when they're going to want

1303
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: him to conform me at four sacks, like eight quarterback hits,

1304
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,839
Speaker 1: a couple of forced fumbles, that's the kind of production

1305
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,759
Speaker 1: they're going to need in the biggest games of the season.

1306
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,759
Speaker 1: Coach Fraser said the rotation will continue up front this season,

1307
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: and I think that's because he wants von Miller to

1308
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: be fresh in the fourth quarter when there's a gotta

1309
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: have a play, He's fresh and able to deliver. And

1310
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: that's the difference that Miller quite frankly needs to make

1311
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: providing a big play at the most important time. But

1312
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: Miller's impact is expected to go beyond just what he

1313
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 1: can do on the field individually. There is a trickle

1314
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: down effect here from Miller, right, Maddie. So we look

1315
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: at that and how much attention he draws from opposing defenses.

1316
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 1: That should provide the younger pass rushers on the other

1317
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 1: side with a lot of good opportunity. I mean, this

1318
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 1: is your bang for your buck, right, You're not just

1319
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 1: getting somebody who can sack a quarterback. You're getting somebody

1320
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,919
Speaker 1: who's going to tc entire line all of the tools

1321
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 1: that he has in his toolbox. And you look at

1322
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: the defensive line, there's a bunch of young guys who

1323
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 1: would love some experience, some teachable moments, all of that.

1324
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 1: Greg Russou, Aja Epanessa, Boogie Basham are going to soak

1325
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: up every little thing that von Miller has to say.

1326
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: And we've heard from several defensive linemen and Otason in

1327
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp explaining just how excited they are to

1328
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: play alongside Von Miller. I mean, shoot At Oliver said,

1329
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: He's going to make my life so much easier. He's

1330
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: going to draw those double teams, so younger player like

1331
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 1: ed aj, Greg and Boogie are going to be able

1332
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: to shine. I think it's also important to point out

1333
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: that pass Rush summit that he hosted, and you heard

1334
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Aja Epinessa and Greg Russeau talk about how awesome it

1335
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: was to be out there and to have that experience

1336
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: and to be able to learn some of the techniques

1337
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: that von Miller has, some of the moves that Von

1338
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,919
Speaker 1: Miller has. I think when you put it all together,

1339
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 1: these three younger defensive linemen should have better seasons in

1340
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. And it's probably important to note too

1341
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: that Miller isn't trying to change Rousseau or Epinessa or

1342
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: Passion's game. He's trying to add to what they already

1343
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: have helped them improve upon the tools that got them

1344
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: here in the first place. As much as Miller is

1345
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: expected to be a shot in the arm for Buffalo's

1346
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,520
Speaker 1: pass rush, one could argue that the additions on Buffalo's

1347
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 1: defensive interior could make the one average area of Buffalo's

1348
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: defense better. The Bill's defense ranked tops in the league

1349
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one in total defense, last defense, third

1350
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,879
Speaker 1: down defense, scoring defense, but they were thirteenth in run defense.

1351
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 1: And while that's respectable, it was clear that Brandon Bean

1352
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: and coach McDermott wanted to upgrade their run stopping ability. Yeah,

1353
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: when Buffalo faced those run heavy teams last year, they

1354
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: sometimes struggled. It's not all on the defensive line, but

1355
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,879
Speaker 1: it definitely starts there. So they've added to the interior

1356
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: to plug up some of those holes. And I think

1357
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: these additions can really be a help from day one

1358
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 1: and be a nice also addition to that rotation that

1359
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser has talked about keeping. I mean, they bring

1360
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 1: in players like day Kwon Jones, Tim Settle and Jordan

1361
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: Phillips returns as well. Jones has eight years of NFL experience,

1362
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: settles younger but still has a lot of potential, I think,

1363
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 1: and at Oliver has spoken so highly of playing next

1364
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: to Jordan Phillips. I think he's really excited to welcome

1365
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: him back to the team as well. Yeah, you go

1366
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,639
Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen, who were the people that led

1367
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: the team in sacks. Yeah, Jordan Phillips with nine and

1368
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 1: a half. Shack Lawson was second with six and a half,

1369
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 1: and they were also one two and tackles for Laws.

1370
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: So I think the impact that the additions on the

1371
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: defensive interior could have are vastly underrated. All right, So

1372
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 1: Maddie opinion time, which of those improvements helps the most?

1373
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: You know, we've added so many different players to this

1374
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: defensive line, so von Miller is just one piece, and

1375
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 1: then we talked about several other pieces that are new,

1376
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: But I still think Von Miller is going to help

1377
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 1: the most. He is the exact type of piece and

1378
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: player they wanted on the defensive line. Somebody who can

1379
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 1: put pressure on the quarterback, and he just happens to

1380
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: be one of the best in the league to do

1381
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,680
Speaker 1: exactly that. Steve and I have talked about it on

1382
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,679
Speaker 1: our One Bills Live show. Von Miller is a closer, yeah,

1383
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 1: and so if this team is up in games late,

1384
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's going to be sealing victories with

1385
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: big plays. At the end of the game, when the

1386
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 1: other team's trying to climb back into a throw the

1387
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:55,680
Speaker 1: ball all over the place, he's gonna be taking the

1388
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: quarterback down to kind of thwart those things. But I

1389
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 1: think that the guys on the defensive interior will make

1390
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: an impact. I don't think there's any doubt about that.

1391
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: But yes, Miller is the headliner, and for good reason.

1392
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 1: Stay tuned to Buffalo bills dot com and to one

1393
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,839
Speaker 1: Bills Live for all your training camp updates. For Maddie Glab,

1394
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm Chris Brown Brownie, Maddie, thank you very much. That's

1395
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 1: a good, good stuff on the defensive lines. Certainly high

1396
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: expectations with all the new faces, and I think one

1397
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: of the things that I take away from that, you know, Josh,

1398
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 1: is that they're gonna be more difficult it's gonna be

1399
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: more difficult to run the football on this team, even

1400
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: when it's on passing downs. I mean, they're gonna have

1401
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 1: some guys upfront that are big, more, bigger, and more

1402
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 1: athletic than they've had over the past handful of years. Yeah,

1403
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, this offseason they bring in a lot of

1404
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:49,640
Speaker 1: new faces. We've we've seen that, um, the rotation that

1405
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: Sean likes to use up front. You know, he never

1406
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: seems to put a huge burden of snaps on guys.

1407
01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be interesting to see how that number

1408
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: works with von Miller because von Miller is a guy

1409
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: that's used to being out on the football field. I

1410
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 1: don't think von Miller is gonna be okay with a

1411
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, a fifty percent snap count if you will, well,

1412
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 1: it's it'll be here. I don't think he'll mind too

1413
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: much if in the fourth quarter of a close game

1414
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: he's taken snaps. Sure, you know what I mean. And

1415
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I've got this tech sloop I talk

1416
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 1: about once in a while called the Five Presidents. It's Bruce,

1417
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 1: Jim Thurman, Andre Cornelius, Bennett, Chris Moore, Will Wolford and

1418
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: me it's like eight of us and I called the

1419
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: five Presidents because those Hall of Famers are on there,

1420
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: and we start talking. When they signed Vaughan, you know

1421
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: that little check sloop was going crazy and Bruce chimes on,

1422
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: he goes, you know what they got. They got a

1423
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: guy who can finish games. And I think a little

1424
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 1: bit of that is what we wish for. I don't

1425
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: know that it's going to happen the way everybody thinks

1426
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 1: it's again, but what we wish for. This team needs

1427
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 1: a guy that it can make a splash play in

1428
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:57,639
Speaker 1: that area, the pass rush. They need a guy who

1429
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: can come through when when a team needs it to

1430
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: finish a game, get a big sack on a fourth down,

1431
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 1: third down, whatever, and finish a game. That's what that's

1432
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: his reputation, that's what he has done it during his career.

1433
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: He's a Super Bowl MVP for that reason. And I

1434
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 1: don't know that that's just hopeful, wishful thinking, or that

1435
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 1: that guy actually has it in and because there's not

1436
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 1: a play out there when a guy's not trying to

1437
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: make a play when it's first and ten in the

1438
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 1: first quarter, as well as third and fifteen in the

1439
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 1: fourth quarter But he does have that reputation, there is

1440
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 1: that about him. That and that's what this team people

1441
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: are wishing for because this team didn't have that. Yeah,

1442
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: they were not spectacular defensively. Yeah they got a guy

1443
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 1: now that can change the game. He gets to the quarterback,

1444
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 1: he might not just sack the quarterback. He may strip

1445
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: the ball. He may pick it up and go thirty

1446
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:53,600
Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown. Right, And that's the thing. This

1447
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: as good as a defense, as solid as it was.

1448
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 1: Statistically they were good. They were tough, were great. They

1449
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 1: were number one in and a hand more than a

1450
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 1: handful of important statistics, not the least of which they

1451
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,680
Speaker 1: were top two or three and points allowed, which is

1452
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,040
Speaker 1: the statistics. Gotta keep him off the right. So but

1453
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: they're a team that is I keep saying it. Man,

1454
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 1: turnovers weren't there, mantra big place, tackles for loss wasn't there,

1455
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 1: mantra passes, knocked down sacks, none of that stuff. You

1456
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: didn't have any of that going on. But they were

1457
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: tough to score on, tough to move the ball on.

1458
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: They were statistically really good, while the eye test, I

1459
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: don't know if they pass it in a lot of

1460
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: ways they were the greatest tasting vanilla ice cream you've

1461
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: ever had, right, Yeah, exactly, I mean the best, Yes,

1462
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: they were. That's right, Okay, Josh Reid, Steve Taks. We're

1463
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna take a break, come back and go over the

1464
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. We've got a lot of contributions from people

1465
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: like you who were listening, who've got away to improve

1466
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 1: the National Football leagu We're gonna talk about that right

1467
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: after the break. This is One Bills Live and this

1468
01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to one of those

1469
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: lives to ask for Josh Reid. With until the top

1470
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: of the hour, we're finding ways to improve the National

1471
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:19,879
Speaker 1: Football League. We've got a caller on the line, Bob

1472
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 1: from Amherst. Bob, you heard. I don't know if you

1473
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: heard our conversation about changing the extra point rules, but

1474
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 1: let's hear what you have to say. Bob, you're on

1475
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: the air. Yeah, Yeah, thanks you guys. Yeah, I loves.

1476
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: Thing that's really annoyed me is that a guy I'll

1477
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to possibly chick fifty sixty extra points

1478
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,640
Speaker 1: in a season. I don't know the statistics on it,

1479
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,600
Speaker 1: but and maybe miss tool of women maybe want to

1480
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 1: get blocked and to be you either run it in

1481
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: or you pass it in. But just that kicking mix

1482
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 1: of points really just really annoyed me. I've followed football

1483
01:17:56,560 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: since the early fifties, Steve Van Buren and she mcklhaney

1484
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: and all those guys. You know, I know a little

1485
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: bit about football history at any rate. Uh And as

1486
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 1: far as kicking field goals at just one point over

1487
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 1: fifty yards, you know, and you know, and they got

1488
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 1: four they get four downs to go ten yards. It's

1489
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 1: twenty a half yards to carry, you know, and you know,

1490
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: and if you if you lose, you know, you lose

1491
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: control of the ball. The other team gets it. I

1492
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: know it probably sounds out raisiously crazy. So do you

1493
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: think so, Bob, let me ask you. Do you think

1494
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: they should move it, move the extra point back further,

1495
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: or narrow the uprights, or just take it out of

1496
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 1: the game completely. I would say, don't don't kick it,

1497
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 1: Just don't kick the extra point. Yeah, where would you

1498
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 1: what yard line would you take the extra point from? Then?

1499
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: If you got to go for two, or if award

1500
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: the two, or what would you go for for two?

1501
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 1: Or would it be just one point for one play

1502
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: or what yard line would you put the ball on? Oh,

1503
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: I would say, I always say just go for the

1504
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, for one point and uh put the bar

1505
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 1: where it's where it already where the already have it,

1506
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: you know from Oh? Okay, so you what you do?

1507
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: So you're telling me just run an offensive play from

1508
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 1: the two yard line. You get one point for a

1509
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:18,719
Speaker 1: successful play and zero points for none and lose the kicker,

1510
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 1: right right, Well, I mean lose lose the kicker for

1511
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:26,680
Speaker 1: as far as extra points, right, I still have kickoffs

1512
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: at the be you know, after the touchdown, and I

1513
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 1: don't like, I'm not crazy about punting, you know, I'm

1514
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: not crazy about that either. And as far as, like

1515
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 1: I said, the field goal, you know, give him one

1516
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: point over fifty yards? And what about what about less

1517
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 1: than fifty yards? Prugny? What if he kicks one less

1518
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 1: than fifty yards? Well, you don't you don't kick it? Okay, Wow,

1519
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 1: you don't say don't kick it. You'll you'll lose you

1520
01:19:55,600 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: lose control the ball. Yeah, Bob hates Well, yeah, I

1521
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: I give Bob a lot of credit. He's been watching

1522
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: some football for a few years now, and unlike you know,

1523
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:10,679
Speaker 1: your typical traditionalist Bob. Bob's he's okay with being outside

1524
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: the box. Think, well, I'll say this. It's a it's

1525
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: a like Bob. It's a league that's driven by uh

1526
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:23,680
Speaker 1: by stars, and you want to have stars on the

1527
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: field more. And kickers can be great players and all that,

1528
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 1: but they're not the guys who run and thrown past

1529
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: an all that. I And yeah, more offense, the better

1530
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: you got Josh Allen on the field. One more play

1531
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,600
Speaker 1: in that drive rather than rather than a kicker. I

1532
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: get it, um, and it will you know, it will

1533
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: make your short yardage and your goal line offense take

1534
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 1: a new a little bit more of a prominent role,

1535
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,560
Speaker 1: no question. Um, I'd have to go down. I'd have to.

1536
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: That's a deep rabbit hole that you gotta down. Think

1537
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 1: through all of that and what it will look like

1538
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 1: for teams to have to go for it and get

1539
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: one point for it, not too just one? Yeah, just

1540
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 1: so you're eliminating the extra point, right, you're going you're

1541
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: going for one, but it's with your offense. It's no

1542
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 1: longer worth two. It's worth one, but it's with your

1543
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 1: off and can you imagine two you get one point

1544
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: for fifty yard field goal. I mean, there would be

1545
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: nobody to be kicking field. You'd almost just take the

1546
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: field goal posts off the field, right you wouldn't. You

1547
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't be kicking. That's the only reason you'd need the field,

1548
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: the goal posts. That's the opposite of our theory of

1549
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:36,719
Speaker 1: giving more points for field goals, because you're incentivizing almost fields.

1550
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: This is getting rid of. You're right, Bob's not a

1551
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 1: fan of kickers. Take the gold post down. Wow, that's big.

1552
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: All right, So we've got we've been asking this question

1553
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 1: all day and that was Bob was a contributor. Thank

1554
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 1: you for that. I appreciate it. We're gonna take some

1555
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,759
Speaker 1: tweet sheets now. We've been getting contributions throughout the shows

1556
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: how to improve the National Football League, fully knowing and

1557
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 1: deep in our hearts that it's really not broken at

1558
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:01,760
Speaker 1: the moment. I don't know if you've noticed. It's the

1559
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: eight hundred pound guerrilla on the sports landscape. So but

1560
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 1: there are ways to improve it, and it's gets so

1561
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,640
Speaker 1: much attention. People kind of know the nuances of it

1562
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,400
Speaker 1: and have some suggestions as to what they'd like to

1563
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 1: see better. So we get our first tweet tweet sheet

1564
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1565
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 1: moving company the Buffalo Bills from Jeremy. He says, it's

1566
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 1: time I think for the divisions to get readjusted. Green

1567
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 1: Bay has fed on bad teams for decades, just like

1568
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: New England feats it on a terrible division for a while.

1569
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: Seeing a change or so every ten years would be

1570
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 1: a cool thing in my opinion. It's a good move

1571
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 1: by Jed. And we talked about this. I had, I

1572
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: went down the list how I would do it For

1573
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: the TV networks. You would just go by television markets,

1574
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 1: go from top to bottom, and the largest four going

1575
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: one division, which would be think about it. It It would

1576
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:57,640
Speaker 1: be the Chargers and the Rams in a division with

1577
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Giants. It's the big markets, and

1578
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 1: they would have a home and home every they'd have

1579
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 1: two home and homes. They play on the road and

1580
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 1: they're the same stadium. The Jets Giants would play twice

1581
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 1: in that stadium once as the home team wants as

1582
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: the visiting team in the division. Then they'd go to

1583
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 1: LA twice and play those two teams. Interesting division that

1584
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 1: would be. Then it comes down to I think it

1585
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 1: was Chicago, Philly, and I can't remember Dallas and Boston.

1586
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:30,759
Speaker 1: I was. I don't know what it was. I can't remember.

1587
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:32,680
Speaker 1: Here we go. Uh now, I don't have it. I

1588
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: don't have it. I can't I lost it. It was,

1589
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, it was be strictly by city size, and

1590
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: the divisions were pretty interesting, pretty interesting. Um it was

1591
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: like Dallas, Washington, Chicago and Philly something like that, and

1592
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: you just call that. And the last one would have

1593
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:55,520
Speaker 1: been the last division would be Buffalo, Jacksonville, New Orleans,

1594
01:23:55,600 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 1: Vegas and Vegas. As we talked before this, I don't

1595
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 1: mind the idea of going to Vegas every year and

1596
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 1: New Orleans every years every year, and Jacksonville the beaches

1597
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 1: are great. Here's the thing I'm all about it. I

1598
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: like realignment, and it's happened a couple of times during

1599
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: my lifetime. They've done it because they had different teams

1600
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 1: and expansion and they moved. Seattle's been an AFC team

1601
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:24,280
Speaker 1: and an NFC team, that kind of thing. It's interesting

1602
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: to me to think about that. And I get it too.

1603
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the old guards, Chicago's and Detroit's and you

1604
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: know in Green Bays, they don't want to change divisions

1605
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 1: because they've had these rivalries. And you know what, Chicago

1606
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 1: and Green If Chicago and Detroit want to have to

1607
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: say they need to play better, they they've caught lightning

1608
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 1: in a bottle once twice over the last fifty years

1609
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: and that's been it for them. Detroit hasn't done that. Um,

1610
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: let's move them around a little bit. Let's let's try

1611
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,679
Speaker 1: something different. And I don't mind it changed, the change

1612
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: the divisions and the you know every ten years or yeah,

1613
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 1: I like, I think it would add some spice. If

1614
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna change it, then do that make it make

1615
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: it so that it's constantly moving, not constantly, but every

1616
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 1: five ten years. Do it that way. And you want

1617
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:14,560
Speaker 1: to talk about getting a chance to see different players

1618
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: in different teams, more of cities and different cities, because

1619
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: we know, I mean, you know this, the Bills fan

1620
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: base travels more than any fan base. Right, You're gonna

1621
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 1: get a chance to go to a group of different

1622
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: cities every single year, you know what I mean? You

1623
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 1: start rotating divisionally like that. Yeah, I've always said this too,

1624
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: and it's it's really hard to think about it because

1625
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: it's such a it's such a deep complicated process, an

1626
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 1: issue to get your mind around. Think about this, what

1627
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 1: if the Bills are playing, you know, the Tennessee Titans.

1628
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it in October November? Wouldn't it be if you're

1629
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: going to Nashville. Wouldn't it be kind of awesome to

1630
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:57,639
Speaker 1: have the Bills play at one o'clock on a Sunday

1631
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: in whatever it is, a niece on stadium and Saturday

1632
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 1: night have the Sabers playing the Predator. Awesome? Right? Yeah?

1633
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 1: Have the Boston have Buffalo in Boston or have the

1634
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 1: Bruins in Buffalo Saturday night and the next day the

1635
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: Patriots play the Bills. Every NHL team and the NFL

1636
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 1: team could do that. Denver, the Rockies and the Broncos,

1637
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, Lightning, the Lightning, all of that. You

1638
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 1: used to go down the list. There's a whole bunch

1639
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: of them, and you could do with NBA teams two

1640
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 1: at certain points points of the season two later maybe

1641
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 1: not yeah, late, sure. So I think it's a great

1642
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: idea to overlap those schedules because you'd get the cities

1643
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:45,639
Speaker 1: themselves outside the league would love it because fans would

1644
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 1: travel for that two games on a weekend, your two teams,

1645
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: your favorite players playing in that city night after. You

1646
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean. She just makes a lot of

1647
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: sense to me. And I think if they could do

1648
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 1: it and there's you know, you got here in Buffalo,

1649
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: Kim and Terry on both clubs in Boston, m you've

1650
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 1: got the um Robert Kraft and the Jacob's family, you'd

1651
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 1: have to you know, cross round and you have to

1652
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,640
Speaker 1: get the leagues can kind of messat man. I think

1653
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 1: that's a great It would be fun. I think it'd

1654
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: be fun, well a lot. That's one way you could

1655
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 1: do it a little better. We're gonna come back. We're

1656
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna take a break. We'll get a couple more tweet

1657
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 1: sheets off the tweetee before we wrap things up. Steve Tasker,

1658
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: Josh Reid to One Bills Live. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio,

1659
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Hill. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

1660
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna go back to the tweet sheet to hear

1661
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: your suggestions for improving the National Football League. And here's

1662
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 1: one from from Dino. He says, introduce a referees press

1663
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 1: conference after every game to discuss the calls that were made,

1664
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 1: the ways they can improve for the next game, and

1665
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 1: also announced referee firings, hirings, and replace. It's the same

1666
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: way we announced free agent signings and trades. Nobody's interested

1667
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 1: in hearing who the referees are because they don't know them,

1668
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 1: and they are listen. I know people think these refs

1669
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:14,719
Speaker 1: do stuff that they are held accountable by the league.

1670
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:17,599
Speaker 1: They get upgraded, down graded, they get talked to, they

1671
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 1: get reprimanded, they get all kinds of stuff. They are

1672
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: held accountable for the calls they mean. And nobody was

1673
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 1: worse on the officials than me. I was absolutely encourageable

1674
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: in the way I treated those guys because I just

1675
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: went off my rocker. I was so out of control,

1676
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 1: I know, and after that I've spent some time with them.

1677
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 1: They take it seriously. They try to get it right.

1678
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 1: They don't you know. They are extremely professional guys, and

1679
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm I've been impressed with the guys that I've known,

1680
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:47,639
Speaker 1: much like the how I love the idea of the

1681
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 1: postseason and being able to pick you play. I like

1682
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 1: this too because from my seat in the media, I

1683
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:56,519
Speaker 1: love the idea of getting a chance to speak to

1684
01:28:56,520 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 1: the officials rate after the game because once again there

1685
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 1: would be some spice to that. Oh my gosh, can

1686
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 1: you imagine the post game of the Rams of New

1687
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 1: Orleans when they missed that passing affair. Oh gosh, there's

1688
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,600
Speaker 1: a lot of games that can go into that category.

1689
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 1: All right, we're off the air tomorrow. We'll be back

1690
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 1: on the air Friday tomorrow, twelve to three Sabers Live

1691
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be live from the Sabers development camp

1692
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 1: downtown for Josh Reid, Steve Tasker. We'll talk to you

1693
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 1: on Friday. Everybody,
