Speaker 1: Had a Steve Tester who has been all over the

00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,640

Speaker 1: for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in the

00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: weather like we do. Oh my gosh. That's the one

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: thing that people told me and I moved here, do

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: not leave in the summer because the summers are when

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: you get packcast weather in Buffalo, and I completely agree

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: with it. Mattie glab here alongside Steve Tasker, filling in

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: for Chris Brown, who's taken so much deserved time off.

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: But it's not chill around here today. There are so

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: many different things going on the schedule, releases looming eight

00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: learn about all the Buffalo Bills matchups, where it's slated

24
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: on the schedule, where their byfalls, how many primetime games

25
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: do they have a holiday game? And you can also

26
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: catch Steve and I breaking it all down on Buffalo

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: Bills dot com at eight o'clock. So we are excited

28
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: to find that out at eight p m. We've been waiting.

29
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: I just want to know it gonna be good. It's

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: amazing because and I said this to Brownie yesterday, it's

31
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: amazing because you know the way this schedule comes out

32
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: kind of important, like do you have short weeks when

33
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: you play you're inst a good opponent. The next week

34
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: on you wrote a bunch, yeah, and this week the

35
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: This year, the AFC teams all have nine away games

36
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: and eight home games, so it's the opposite of what's

37
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: last year. We know we're not playing out of the country, right,

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: We're not playing London or Germany. Week two is a

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Monday night football game, so you got a primetime game,

40
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: which is always important. Other than that, who knows what

41
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the schedule will look like for the

42
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. I know you guys are on Twitter today,

43
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: You're you're scouring all the tweets trying to figure out

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: what schedule leaks are correct, right, don't trust anything. Do

45
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: not trust the schedule leaks until until it becomes official

46
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: here at eight o'clock. Soon enough, we are into the

47
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: afternoon part of the day, so you guys don't have

48
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: to wait too much longer to figure you're out what

49
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: the schedule's gonna look like and how you can plan

50
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: your life. I think for Steve and I it's exciting

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: to know where everything falls, but probably much like a

52
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of bills Mafia, once you get

53
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: the schedule, you're like, Okay, now I can plan my

54
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: life for the for the next couple of months. Here,

55
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: can I make this wedding that this person decided to

56
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: put in the fall? Does it fall on the Buffalo

57
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: Bills bye week this year? Do we have any like

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: baked in little daised off here or there? But yeah,

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: that's why that's why I'm selfishly like really easier to

60
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: figure it out to see it. Okay, can we make

61
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: this work? By industry and even you know, last year

62
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: I missed a week because I had a family. My

63
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: daughter got married last year in week three. What are

64
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You know, it's my only daughter. She

65
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: can get married when she wants, like I guess. So, uh,

66
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: it happens, and you think, maybe it'll happen one maybe

67
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: it'll find up perfectly. All the stars lie not so much.

68
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: What Um, it's true because then too, there's a lot

69
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: of fans. There's a big particularly in this day and age,

70
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people travel a lot and they go

71
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: to these games on the road. They want to pick

72
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: a road game. La, We've got on the schedule this

73
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: year Kansas City, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Miami, New England.

74
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: Did Jets not really a sexy away schedule the la? Okay,

75
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: Chicago is a great city. I went to college there. Um,

76
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: But Baltimore, Cincinnati and Miami depend on depending on when

77
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: Miami falls on the schedule. Right, So whenever that is,

78
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: people head out and go down. They start to playing it.

79
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I had buddies asking me, hey, can

80
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: you you know scooch me the schedule early because because

81
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: then because then I can get on yeah, before the

82
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: flights get full, like especially that happened last year or

83
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: two years ago, when you're we're going to going to Arizona,

84
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: going to San Francisco. Uh, actually played Arizona, played San

85
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Francisco in Arizona because of COVID. Uh. Yeah, we played

86
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: in Nashville, Miami of course. So there were some really

87
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: nice road games to go to. Nobody could travel because

88
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: nobody could see the game this year, you know. So

89
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: so there's a couple of cool games on the road,

90
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: couple you know, go if you want to go. If not,

91
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: there's there there will be some fun home games to

92
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: look forward to as well. The one, the one thing

93
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: that I'm hoping comes true is and I haven't told

94
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: my bosses yet this, so you know this. This is

95
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: a breaking news. One of my friends has a wedding

96
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: the week after Christmas and it's in Guatemala. This is

97
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: one of my best friends from college and the wedding

98
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: is on a Thursday. So I'm like trying to like

99
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: piece everything together here once we find the schedule out

100
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: to see if maybe I can like skip over to

101
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: Guatemala for a couple of days. It's the week after Christmas,

102
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: so it's early January. Well late DEM's late January December

103
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighth or twenty nine, thank you. So I don't

104
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: know if I'm going to be able to make that happen.

105
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: She's one of my best friends of college, so I

106
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: feel I feel like I need to try um and

107
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: I like that it's during the week. That's that's kind

108
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: of helping me a little bit because I can definitely

109
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: get back before on Sunday or whenever. The game is Guatemala,

110
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: Guatemala exotic. Yeah, that's where she's from. Her family's from there,

111
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: so she has a bunch of family there doing it

112
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: in a really cool area of Guatemala. So different. See

113
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: I've been today, you know, I've given for I've had

114
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: before my kids married, so I've been to those kinds

115
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: of destination weddings and it's always best when you go

116
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: if it's like that too, where you've got some people

117
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: that are dialed in, you know, they know what's going on.

118
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: It's not like everybody goes to someplace and and maybe

119
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: some you know, if you have a local that knows

120
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: what's going on. Oh yeah, everything's different, Yeah, everything's different.

121
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll see we'll see if it can work.

122
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: We'll see if it can happen. I know you guys

123
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: probably have a lot of weddings on your schedule that

124
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: you're waiting to see. Is this going to be during

125
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: a game? And am I gonna want to miss this

126
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: game to go to this wedding that these people decided

127
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: to put during the fall? I think all of us

128
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: who work in football can agree, like, why do you

129
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: put your weddings in the fall? We can't attend them.

130
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: But I also totally understand maybe if I wasn't in football,

131
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: that would be a more attractive time to have a wedding.

132
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: Most of us put our weddings in the summertime. But

133
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: another exciting thing that's happening today or beginning today, The

134
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills of rookies are arriving as we speak. They're

135
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: flying in, they're getting ready. Rookie Mini Camp is this weekend,

136
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: so they will hit the practice fields tomorrow afternoon. We'll

137
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: hear from Sean McDermott tomorrow at noon, and then we'll

138
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: also hear from some of the rookies after practice. Practice

139
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: is slated to start around twelve thirty, so that'll be

140
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: open to media. So I'm excited to get out there

141
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: and kind of get a first look at the latest

142
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: draft picks and some of the new guys too that

143
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: will also be a part of the team, the udfas

144
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: who will join on who I'm sure we'll know their

145
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: names here soon enough. But yeah, so this building is buzzing.

146
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: It has been buzzing the last couple of weeks because

147
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: we know there's been voluntary workouts going on. So the

148
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: music is always blasting in the weight room. You walk

149
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: by and you're like, this is even too loud for

150
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: me as I'm walking by. But they've been getting their

151
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: workout on. They've been getting ready for OTAs, which will

152
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: begin toward the end of May. So a lot here

153
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: to look forward to and a lot going on today.

154
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: There's still some veterans are out there running through stuff

155
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: out on the field today. They're out on the practice

156
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: field and you know they're nothing competitive or anything going on,

157
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: but yeah, we're in phase two right now. I believe

158
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: they're out there running through some stuff, and you know

159
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: it's good because you get you forget that at the

160
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: end of the season when we kind of get used

161
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: to it and we've all to the end of the season,

162
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: the playoffs and all of that, and even though the

163
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: Bills were really healthy at the end of the season

164
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs this year, you always go out

165
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: there and watch practice and they'll be guys out there

166
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: with that look on their face like man, you know,

167
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: or guys were taking a day off, you know, or

168
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: sitting down out here. Like on days like this in May,

169
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: everybody looks like they're eight years old on resett right.

170
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just jumping around, they're loving life, throwing

171
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: it out. It's just it's awesome. So it's a lot

172
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: of fun because you know, it's nice for them to

173
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: get back together and see their buds again. Yea, do

174
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: some stuff feel good. They're not bogged down with like

175
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: being in the middle of the season where it's kind

176
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: of like, hey, I just want to focus on my things.

177
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to be bugged by extra things. You know,

178
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: maybe it's not as happy go lucky some weeks if

179
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: you're coming off from a harder game. Right now is

180
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: the time where the guys who are in the building

181
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: are happy go lucky down to chat with you for

182
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: five minutes in the hallway. Everybody's got a smile on

183
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: their face because there it's exciting to be back together,

184
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: like you said, and also wing the type of team

185
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: that you have this upcoming season and knowing that you're

186
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: working towards something super special and something that could be

187
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: super memorable for this group. It's not even so much

188
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: that you know that they're One of the things that's

189
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: not here is the stress, the oppressive level of angst

190
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: that you got to play this week and you gotta

191
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: be ready and these games are huge important. There's always

192
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: that there's always that specter of pressure to do it

193
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: right all the time, right now, and you got to

194
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: because this week, you got this game, and this game

195
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: is important because of this and this and this, and

196
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: so there's always that kind of somber, you know, tension

197
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: everybody's walking around with right during regular season, and that

198
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: is totally not here now. Yeah, and it even that

199
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: that feeling even like transfers onto us. Yea. When we're

200
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: in our big weeks. Everybody's like, keep your head down,

201
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: just do your work. We're not laughing or smiling today,

202
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: we've got a big game. You know, it gets real sometimes,

203
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: but right now, every everybody's chilling. Everybody's in a good

204
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: mood Rookie Mini camp. What do you remember as a

205
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: player about rookies coming onto the roster um you being

206
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: a part of some of those camps in your early

207
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: NFL days. I can't help but to think about how

208
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: giddy these guys probably are to get here and start

209
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: to learn the playbooks, start to get to know their teammates.

210
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: You know, the veterans are here and they're they're doing

211
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: their voluntary workouts, and for some of them, it's it's

212
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: year four. You're five, you're seven of this. You know,

213
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: you're you're in the motions by now when you've been

214
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL that long. But these guys, this is

215
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: their first time in their NFL career that they're going

216
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: through rookie Mini camp, that they're now at their their

217
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: their new home. They're getting to meet some of these teammates.

218
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: So do you have any memories being a young pup

219
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: out there trying to figure it out? To picture it?

220
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean, two weeks ago, these guys are going to

221
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: college kids. I mean, you know, going to the dining

222
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: hall and messing another buddies, playing d games and what

223
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: you know, walking to class around campus and and nobody

224
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, they like normal some campuses, you know, they'll

225
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: there'll be people who recognize you as a football player

226
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: or this that or other. Yeah, okay, two weeks later,

227
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: you're strolling into one Bill's drive and they got a

228
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: locker for you, and you sit down. You look over

229
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: and like right there, like for me when I walked in,

230
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: I look over across like where you're sitting for me,

231
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: Warren Moon who And then next day, you know, three

232
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: lockers down is Bruce Matthews and Mike Munchek. All three

233
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: the guys end up in the Hall of Fame. You know. Um,

234
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: Mike Rozier, who won a Heisman Trophy was in the room, right, Um,

235
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking like, you know, Avon Riley and Greg being him.

236
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: These are all names from the Houston Orders. I got there,

237
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, man, I'm you know,

238
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: you just don't know if you can hang in, you know.

239
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: And I looked, you know, back at that time, and

240
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: still I looked like I was eight years old compared

241
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: to these guys, right. And it was the steroid era,

242
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: so the offensive linemen were different than they are now.

243
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: They were six five like they are now, but they

244
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: weighed about two hundred and eighty pounds instead of three

245
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty. They weigh two hundred and eighty pounds

246
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: and they had thirty six thirty seven inch waists, so

247
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: they were like big bodybuilder type guys. So it was

248
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: pretty intimidating place to just kind of stroll into. But

249
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: I do remember after the first rookie minicamp, I realized athletically,

250
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: I was I was gonna be okay if I could

251
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: stay healthy and I get injured and all that of

252
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: the athletic I was fast enough and strong enough and

253
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: I could do, you know, I hang in there physically,

254
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: but there was so much I didn't know about football

255
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: and how to play at the pro level that was

256
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: gonna get me cut if I couldn't figure it out.

257
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: So figured it out. It didn't. It took like almost

258
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: no time to realize that. And yeah, so you kind

259
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: of served by playing special teams, and it was it

260
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: was a great move. But man, oh man, you can

261
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: imagine these guys walking in, you know, and you walk

262
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: in and there's Josh Allen, all these guys you've seen play,

263
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, Termaine Edmonds, you know, all the and all

264
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: these guys, I mean most every the Bills have got

265
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: a team full of traits. So they got like, you know,

266
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown and Tommy Doyle and and Greg Rousseau. They're

267
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: all like six eight, right, they're all huge, and Josh

268
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: and O. J. Howard and all these guys and all that.

269
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: You walk into a locker room if you come from

270
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: like like Shakir, like Khalil Shakir, he's coming from Boise State,

271
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: they may have two of those guys or one of

272
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: those guys on there, the Bills. The whole room's full

273
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: of them. The whole room is full of them. So

274
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: it's first once you get your mind around that, and

275
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: you just gotta come in and say, okay, you just

276
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: gotta remember, Okay, they drafted me, they know what I

277
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: can do. They think I can do it, so I'm

278
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna believe I can. I'm gonna go out and try.

279
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: It's hard to get your mind around it. It's think

280
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: about how difficult it would be to come in and

281
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: feel comfortable in that room, and aside from trying to

282
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: feel comfortable in a room, or begin to feel comfortable

283
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: and begin to make those relationships with your positional coach,

284
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: with your teammates, trying to start to digest the playbook,

285
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: depending on if you're on offense or defense. You're also

286
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: doing some onboarding right now too. It's it's almost like

287
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: you are starting a new full time job where maybe

288
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: you go and sit in at that two hour hr

289
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: speech that you have to hear about how employees conduct

290
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: themselves or learn about the benefits package or whatnot. These

291
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: guys may not be doing exactly that, but they are

292
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: doing some similar things that you have to learn once

293
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: you walk into the NFL. So there's some classes that

294
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: they'll take, there's some other other things that they'll do.

295
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Did the NFL do that around your rookie season two

296
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: or when you were a younger player? Some of that

297
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: onboarding stuff that is part of the curriculum now that happens.

298
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: That used to happen first two days or three days

299
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: of training camp, first week of training camp, and it's

300
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: a big orientation session. The league would come in with

301
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: official the officials come in and they give everybody the

302
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: rules changes, here's what it's going to look like from

303
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: now on, and here's what we're gonna call, and here's

304
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: what we're thinking and all that. There's a I got

305
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: a huge story about that from twenty years ago that happened.

306
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: And then they'll have law enforcement come in and say,

307
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, give us the what for about Listen, you

308
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: know you're gonna have guys approaching about gambling. You got

309
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: to watch this guy and they would tell you they

310
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, there was kind of the scare tactic about

311
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: keeping on the straight and narrow because you're not going

312
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: to get away with it, that kind of stuff. There

313
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: was also they'd come in and they'd introduce, you know,

314
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: people like us in the organization, like this is Mattie Glab,

315
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: this is Tasker, he's a legend, Chris Brown, these are

316
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: all you know, they all work up force and these

317
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: are people and here's the PR department, the Media relations department,

318
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: here's the Business development partment. They parade all these people

319
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: through just so you knew or had an idea that

320
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: when you saw their face, like, yeah, they're supposed to

321
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: be here and they're on they're on the pay, they're

322
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: on our side. Yeah, that kind of thing. It happens

323
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: for the first week of training camp because quite frankly,

324
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: back then, training camp was like six weeks long. Oh

325
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: my gosh, it was for it took forever. It was

326
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: like two weeks of practice two A days through two

327
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: A days and four preseason games and you know, and

328
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: then right into the regular season. It took forever. Maddie,

329
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we're in san The Houston Oilers were

330
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: in sant Angelo, Texas. They were there for two weeks.

331
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: Ten of the ten of the fourteen days, it was

332
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: over one hundred and eight of those days, it was

333
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: over one hundred and ten man for two A days.

334
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Take you know, hot take here. Um, do

335
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: you think the six weeks was more productive or do

336
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: you think the way the NFL lays it out would

337
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: have been more productive for your teams? Back then? Everybody's better. Yeah,

338
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: it's better now. Certainly it was a rough and it

339
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: was grueling and all of that, but things are so

340
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: much more efficient now. It's it's way better now. It's

341
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: way better now. Back then it was there was no

342
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, they were evolving out of the dark

343
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: ages and starting to throw the football a little more

344
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: and all that, but it was still a physical game.

345
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: You still competed hard. There were no regulations. It was

346
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: it was whatever the coach thought they needed, that's what

347
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: they were going to do. So if they needed if

348
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: they needed to go in pads every day. They went

349
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: in pads every day. It was rough and sports science

350
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: was nowhere. It was non existent. It was it was

351
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: tape and band aid and now of course you've got

352
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: you've got you know body, all of that stuff. They've

353
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: got it all and they know how to keep you

354
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: healthy and fresh and get more out of you. Um

355
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: this was just maybe what you know, a decade or

356
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: two after they invented gatorade. For goodness sake, it used

357
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: to be you didn't drink water during practice because it

358
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: means you're soft. You weren't tough enough. Now, you know,

359
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: they breaks like, yeah, you're like, you know, a little

360
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: baby duckling. They're pushing water in all the time, you know. So,

361
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: um so everything's changed, but it's it's way better now.

362
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: There's they're smarter more, they're well more well educated. They're

363
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: willing to listen more to people outside the strictly the

364
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: down and distance football people, you know, the sports scientists

365
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: and the and the nutritionists all of that stuff. Would

366
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: you would you guys feel worked heading into week one,

367
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: Like by the time that you arrived at week one

368
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: as a team, would you feel like Oh my gosh,

369
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: we just went through a ringer of the last six

370
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: weeks and now it's time to play, Like we're tired.

371
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: They you you were in shape, no question, We're in

372
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: pretty good shape. But I don't remember, you know, I

373
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: was twenty two as well, so I you know, I

374
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: don't know how how it could ever feel tired, right, So,

375
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, there were Yeah, there were long, long practice days,

376
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: long practice days, and if you got hurt you were

377
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: kind of expected to carry it around with you and

378
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: keep going. That was rough. But yeah, there were times when, yeah,

379
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: you'd see, you know, days off for guys, like veteran

380
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: days off were just non existent. It was never a thought.

381
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: Lifting was something guys did mostly on their own when

382
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: I first came in. Now, it changed pretty quickly during

383
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: the early part of my career. Teams start hiring strength

384
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: conditioning coaches who were on it, Guys like Rusty Jones

385
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: and Steve Waterson, guys like that around the league. But yeah,

386
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: that it was. It was this compared to now was

387
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: the dark ages. Yeah, it's changed quite a bit. I

388
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: can remember back when I was covering college football and

389
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: also in college we still had some of the two days,

390
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: but one thing that I always love to point out

391
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: about the rookies and the rookie class, regardless of what

392
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: team you're on, is I'd just like to recognize and

393
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: point out they have a really long season or seasons combined,

394
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: because you think about what they're coming off of and

395
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: what they're going into and the tiny, tiny breaks that

396
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: they get in between all of it. By the time

397
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: you finish your rookie season, you've almost been on straight

398
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: for two seasons. And I love pointing this out because

399
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: I don't think they get enough credit for kind of

400
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: going two seasons straight. And when you talk to guys

401
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: about this in locker room clean out after their rookie

402
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: season and ask them about the year that they've been

403
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: through that they kind of are like, it was wild.

404
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: There wasn't there weren't a lot of breaks for us,

405
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: because think about it, these rookie players have gone through

406
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: an entire their final season, whether that be their junior,

407
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: the senior, their senior season. Then they do a bowl

408
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: game if they made it to a bowl game. If

409
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: you don't, you go straight into training for the scouting

410
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: Combine or your pro day, so you're you're training, training,

411
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: training for that pro day and the scouting combine happens,

412
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: and then you can you continue to train, then you

413
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: get drafted. Then you have like a week where you're

414
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: probably still training, and then you move to your new team.

415
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: You have your rookie mini camp, then you go straight

416
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: into OTAs. Then ots turn into training camp, the training

417
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: camp turns into the season. Then you go through an

418
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: entire season, hit the playoffs, eighteen week, seventeen games, and

419
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: then you can breathe. Hopefully we're talking super Bowl for

420
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: this team, but you can breathe. Then at the end

421
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: of February, twenty game season, Um, you know, Wildcard, Divisional

422
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: Championship and super Bowl. That's twenty one games. Um, it's

423
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: a long, long season. Yeah, and some of these and

424
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: then they finally get their first offseason roll. Yeah, and

425
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: you got a feel for him, and you can just

426
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: they get worn down. Now, sports science has helped all this,

427
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 1: and they you know, the time off they give these

428
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: guys in the way they schedule their days, and the

429
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: right guys handle it the right way. If they don't

430
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: know something, they just ask and then they live by it.

431
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: If they say, well what do you what should I do? Say, Well, listen,

432
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: you gotta you need to be in bed. You need

433
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: to be in bed by by ten, ten fifteen or

434
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: nine ninety five, whatever it is, you need to be

435
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: in bed at that time. And some of these guys

436
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: have a hard time with that. They you know, once

437
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: they're out of the building, they're like, listen, this is me.

438
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing my thing. So the more committed and the

439
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: more discipline these guys are, the quicker they get it,

440
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: and the better they last throughout the season. And even now,

441
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, the buzz phrase between week ten, week eight,

442
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: week nine, week twelve, fourteen, certainly is this rookie wall.

443
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: They think these yeah, the rookie walls. I think the

444
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: Bills have done a nice job their sports science of

445
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: making sure their guys don't do that, and they and

446
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: you can think back, and I don't know that I've

447
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: I can think of a rookie where I can think, Wow,

448
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: he's not he's struggling here late in the season because

449
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not. I just don't. I think they're

450
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: sports science people have kind of done away with that

451
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: or gotten on top of it so that it doesn't

452
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: isn't as prevalent. And it's also adjustment going from playing

453
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: on Saturdays to playing on Sundays. You know, when you're

454
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: playing on Saturdays, then Sundays you're off day. Then you

455
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: roll into Monday. But when you play on Sundays, they

456
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: kind of get an off day on a Monday, but

457
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: their off day is truly Tuesday, so they're doing stuff

458
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: on Monday, whether that be rehab or whether that be

459
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, watching the game back. So it's a big

460
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: adjustment for these guys, and just kind of talking to

461
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: rookies on and off throughout the last three seasons that

462
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: I've been here. You know, the rookie year, it's an

463
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: exciting year, but it's it's a tiring year and a

464
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: year that requires a lot of work for good reason

465
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: for a lot of these guys. So they're they're going

466
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: to be in the building today. Tomorrow is their practice.

467
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: Will to Sean McDermott tomorrow and some of the rookies

468
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: after practice, which should wrap up and in the early afternoon.

469
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 1: So might have some of that sound here on One

470
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: Bills Live tomorrow, if not definitely on Buffalo bills dot Com.

471
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: No guests for us today, so it's just Steve and

472
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: I carry in the show until three three o'clock, but

473
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: plenty to talk about. We do have a Twitter question

474
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: that we want y'all to be aware of. You can

475
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: tweet us or call us at eight oh three oh

476
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: five fifty. Our Twitter question is is we're getting ready

477
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: for the schedule release tonight at eight o'clock, which individual

478
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: or position matchup are you most looking forward to on

479
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two schedule. And you could maybe take

480
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: this in a couple of different ways, maybe position matchup,

481
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: you know, are you looking at a team, are you

482
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: looking at a position on the field? Individual matchups. Steph

483
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: Diggs is going to go up against amazing players, Trey Wide,

484
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: It's going to go up against some amazing players once

485
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: the season begins. So you could go a lot different

486
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: ways with this question. I think it's a fun way

487
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: to lead up to the NFL schedule release at eight

488
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: o'clock tonight on NFL Network. Another thing that I love

489
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: about the schedule release is all the all of the

490
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: teams do these wacky videos to release their schedule. So

491
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: that's something that I always look forward to, as well

492
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: as kind of checking out all the different teams on

493
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: Twitter seeing what video that they released, trying to figure

494
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: out maybe how they came up with that idea. We've

495
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: shot hours it is. It's hilarious, that's all I'm gonna say.

496
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: I really hope that everybody enjoys it. It was it

497
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: was really funny and fun shoot to do. So that

498
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: will drop at eight o'clock tonight on Buffalo Bills dot

499
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: com or Twitter social media, So make sure you check

500
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: it out and then also check out some other teams

501
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 1: videos too, because there's there's sometimes a lot of brains

502
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: that go behind Okay, what is the schedule release video

503
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: going to look? Like? How intricate do we want to

504
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: get with whether we're shooting video, whether we're doing graphics.

505
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: I remember when Game of Thrones was huge a couple

506
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: years back. I think it was like the Falcons and

507
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: maybe another team. They both did like a Game of

508
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: Throne style schedule release video with the Game of Throne

509
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: song in the background, the theme song. So there's always

510
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: some creativity that goes into it, and there's a lot

511
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: of creative minds that work for the media departments across teams,

512
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: so it's always a one of one of my favorite

513
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: things to do. I don't know if that's more of

514
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: like a people who work for an NFL type of

515
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: thing that we enjoy or fans enjoyed just as much

516
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: as if you can imagine we've got a huge production

517
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: arm over here with us in our here, in our control,

518
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: when we've got all kinds of people that do stuff

519
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: for TikTok for you know, all that Facebook. You've been

520
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: on the TikTok a couple of times, and yeah, I've

521
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: been wrangled into doing guys present you with some weird,

522
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: weird ideas. So you can imagine the guys that do

523
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: the TikTok James, James rob and Kevin Carges. They're young, right,

524
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean they're younger than my kids and so, but

525
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: they're they're creative force behind these things. So I've just learned.

526
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: I said, listen, they go, here's what we want you

527
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: to do, and I just say, okay, guys, I mean

Speaker 1: let's go. So I've I've learned to trust them and

529
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: I can't. Some of them are very good. I can't

530
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: claim to get all of them because I'm an old guy. Yeah,

531
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: you're telling me you don't scroll through TikTok every night.

Speaker 1: I do know. I'm not on TikTok. I am not

Speaker 1: on TikTok. The only social media platform I am on

568
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: we will go to Joe from Brockport. Joe, you're on

569
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: with us, Joe. Go ahead, Yeah, go ahead, Jane, Joe. Yeah.

570
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: First of all, I wanted to talk with Steve for

571
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: a moment. I was involved with a kick past and

572
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: pumped contest many years ago, and Steve taught me how

573
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: to catch the ball. On the kickoff, and he told

574
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: me how to catch it with my hand during that time,

575
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: and I wound up catching it in a way that

576
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: it bounced off my chest and hit my nose and

577
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: I was bleeding, and everybody came up to me and says,

578
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: do you want to quit now? And I says no,

579
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: how many times do you have a chance to bleed

580
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo Bills? You know a turf And I

581
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: just really appreciated his wisdom and talking to me and

582
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: things like that. I think I'm looking forward to the

583
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: running back lash, you know, a wide receiver position. I

584
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: think that's going to be very interesting how that plays out.

585
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: And also I would just like to ask one question,

586
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry if this is trying to be laboring

587
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: the point. I know it's from last year and I

588
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: don't get a chance to listen all the time. But

589
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: when Buffalo played Kansas City the first time, it seemed

590
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: like they blitzed and they kept the homes at bay.

591
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: During the second game, when they played in the playoff,

592
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: it seemed like they just let them both go and

593
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: like the best quarterbacks would win. Do you think they're

594
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: going to get back to playing where it's going to

595
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: be more blitz and giving giving mahomes more of a challenge.

596
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,239
Speaker 1: Thank you, Yeah, thanks, thanks, Joe, appreciate it. And by

597
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: the way, if I've caused you to get a bloody

598
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: nose because of my coaching, it's not wisdom that I'm

599
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: imparting there, right, So I appreciate you still wanted to

600
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: talk to me after my advice gave you a bloody nose. Uh. Secondly, yeah,

601
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: the Kansas City game, those two a quarterbacks. The way

602
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: the league is now, the Bills really didn't want to

603
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: give up big plays. They wanted to make the Kansas

604
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: City Chiefs go the long way, and that's why they

605
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: wanted to That's why they wanted to make them go

606
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: the long way. They didn't want to put pressure on

607
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: because it made him thinner in the back end. They

608
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: wanted to keep guys in coverage, keep everything in front

609
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: of them, and try and make the Chiefs take a

610
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen play drive rather than a sixty five

611
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass. Now, they still got big plays on them,

612
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: but the idea was different than it had been late

613
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: in the year than it was in Week five when

614
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: they met the first time. So yeah, I mean you

615
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: can say what you want. Every game is different, so

616
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, not every game is gonna be the same.

617
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: And that game, that Divisional round game, at the end,

618
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: it was I ams two quarterbacks that were impossible to stop.

619
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: So if they I'm pretty sure that if they felt

620
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: like they would have brought pressure on Mahomes, they wouldn't

621
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: have had anybody to chase Tyreek Hill or cover him.

622
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 1: They wouldn't had enough guys. They would have had too

623
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: many guys running open with Travis Kelsey, Tyreek Hill, Um,

624
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: Mikole Hardman and the rest. They just, you know, they

625
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: just felt like they needed more guys in the secondary

626
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: to him those guys in And of course, as you

627
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: were seeing highlights here, you know, the Chiefs had a

628
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: great offensive day, but so did the Bills. So yeah,

629
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: those games were different games. But it is because of

630
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: the philosophy, the defenses and the way things were going

631
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: for both teams is why they were different. And I

632
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: think the Bills were one of the first teams to

633
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: not blitz Patrick Mahomes. I think they did it back

634
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: in was it twenty twenty that they did it for

635
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 1: the first time when they when they faced the Chiefs,

636
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: or was it I know they've they've done that more

637
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: than twice. I want to say, in the games that

638
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: they've played against the Chiefs. Yeah, you know, I don't know.

639
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: It's all starting to blend together. I have not the

640
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: best memory when I'm looking back at games, So whether

641
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: it was multiple games or one game, I know the

642
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: Bills were one of the first teams to not blitz

643
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, and then other teams started to

644
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: take that blueprint because it does work to a degree,

645
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: especially when you're playing against a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes

646
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: or even like Josh Allen. I mean, you blitz one

647
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: of those quarterbacks, you're sending a you have one guy

648
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: less to cover you on the back end of things.

649
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: And if you're sending one extra guy at Patrick or

650
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: at Josh, let's say the escapability that both of those

651
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have if as football players, they're so good on

652
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: their feet that they can escape the pocket. If even

653
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: if you're sending extra pressure or blitzing a couple extra guys,

654
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: it just gives you more opportunities to find an open

655
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: guy down field. So that's a lot of the times

656
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: why you may not want to blitz a bunch or

657
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: if you're going to blitz, maybe do it in an

658
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: exotic way by sending a different type of positional player

659
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: at that quarterback. But I think it makes a lot

660
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: of sense for a matchup like that. We'll see what

661
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to do this year. But I

662
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: think as a defensive coordinator, regardless of how you're going

663
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: to scheme up to play them, you maybe don't want

664
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: to do the same thing every single time, so they

665
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: know what to expect based on the tape that they

666
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: have and have had to watch on you. So I

667
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: think Leslie Fraser is one of the smartest minds out

668
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: there when it comes to being a defensive coordinator, and

669
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: if he's going to mix it up or not, it

670
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: usually goes into it with a great game plan. How

671
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: many games have we came off of it and said, Wow,

672
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: Leslie dialed up an awesome game plan there to stop

673
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: whatever offense they were facing from a defensive perspective. Got

674
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: another caller hanging on the line, John from Buffalo. Hey, John,

675
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: you're on with us. How are you doing, Maddie doing good?

676
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: How are you well? First of all, I want to

677
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: say I called once before, talked to Chris and Steve

678
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: and told him how great they were. I was the

679
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: one that called on Super Bowl three, spending most of

680
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: that year in Vietnam listening to the Bills, and the

681
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: tape was a cassette. Oh God. If you really want

682
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: to know about the old American Football League, there's a

683
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: great book out called Remember the AFL by Dave Stiddell.

684
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: It tells you how the merger happened. It tells you

685
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: how everything is now. The most important thing I'd like

686
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 1: to see is the person that I'm going is Ralph

687
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: Wilson against Ralph Wilson. Ralph Wilson was the owner of

688
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. He loved football. He wanted to own

689
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: his own team. He was looking at Miami originally, but

690
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: he wound up with Buffalo, and for the first few

691
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: years Buffalo looked a lot like the Detroit Lions. If

692
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: they played Detroit this year, it would be on Thanksgiving.

693
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: What a wonderful day to give thanks for Ralph Wilson.

694
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: He left us in good hands with the new ownership.

695
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: He never moved the franchise away. He has done so

696
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: much for Detroit. He has done so much for Buffalo

697
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: with hospice, with the Child's Museum downtown, a lot of caring.

698
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: And when Buffalo had that huge silvestorm, you know, where

699
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: Buffalo played their home game, they went to Detroit. Two

700
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: cities that share a lot of football history and two

701
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: cities that are on the same lake. And so if

702
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: I could see anything on the schedule, I'd like to

703
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: see the Buffalo Bills play Thanksgiving Day when Detroit normally plays,

704
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: and be a day that we are thankful for Ralph Wilson. Yeah,

705
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: well that's thank you, John. I appreciate thank you for

706
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: your thanks for your you know, kind of history reset

707
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: there for us. I appreciate that. The knowledge I always

708
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: like hearing people talk about it was It's true. Ralph

709
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: Wilson was a Detroit guy and got the Buffalo franchise.

710
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: Pat Corrigan is the guy who talked him into coming

711
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: to Buffalo rather than some other town. And Ralph and

712
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: the Bills always played during Ralph's time as owner, the

713
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: Bills always played the Detroit Lions in the preseason. It

714
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: was a it was a standalone all way. You could

715
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: always count on it. It was either going to be

716
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: here or there, whichever our all training year it was.

717
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: And he's right in s November twenty fifteen, the Bills

718
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: played the home game against the Jets in Ford Field.

719
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: Um concert seating, Maddie, were you weren't here? Were you

720
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: no concert? They just opened the gates if you had

721
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: to could come in. The seats didn't match, you know,

722
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: so you just went in and sat down down front

723
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: and people just piled in. Um. And the Bills absolutely

724
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: crushed the Jets that night. Um. And he's right as well. Um. Uh.

725
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: The Bills do play Detroit this this year. It's we've

726
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: played We've played on Thanksgiving for the last two years,

727
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: first against Dallas, then last year against the Saints, so

728
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: the team is kind of acclimated to having that on

729
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: their schedule. Yeah, I sounds good to me. There's gonna

730
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: be three games on Thanksgiving, one at I think like

731
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: twelve thirty, played the late night last year against the Saints.

732
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: Then there's gonna be one at four, and then there'll

733
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: be one at like eight thirty or maybe four twenty

734
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: five and then eight thirty. Um, it's a great day

735
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: for I mean, yeah, there's a couple of days during

736
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: the year that you really look forward to. This year,

737
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: they're making Christmas one of those days. Those those weekend

738
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: Christmass on Saturday, and there's gonna be games on Christmas

739
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: Eve and Christmas. Yeah awesome. So we'll see if that's

740
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: that's where it falls for the Bills this year against

741
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: the Lions. I'm like John as well, I I and

742
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: my family owe a lot to Ralph. Um. He was,

743
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: you know, he owned the team while I played. Um,

744
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: and he was, and I'm still good friends with his family,

745
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: I'm you know, but uh yeah, so it's um, it

746
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: was nice to hear from a guy who remembers back

747
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: in the day. And yeah, Ralph has done a lot

748
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: for this, for this community. Yeah, that would kind of

749
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: match up perfectly. So we'll see if that's when the

750
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: schedule gurus decide that that's when Buffalo will play against

751
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. They are away against Detroit. We do

752
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: know that we are going to take another break. When

753
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: we come back, We're gonna maybe dip into the tweet

777
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: else Stefan Diggs playing against this old team. I like it.

778
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: Do you think it'll be a competitive game or not

779
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: so much? I think it's gonna be thirty five thirty

780
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: four Minnesota. Wow, are you a Vikings fan? It's Sam,

781
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: I see, I see all right, Joe, Thanks for calling

782
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: it like the Vikings ever since the early seventies with

783
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: the Purple people. Nice, all right, I appreciate the call, Joe.

784
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: Thanks Joe, a little Vikings fan calling in on a

785
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon. Don't get too many of those, Yeah, Vikings

786
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: fans from Rochester don't get too many of though. That's right.

787
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: But interesting that he said the Cook brothers. That's that's

788
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: one matchup that I guess you could call a matchup.

789
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: But I haven't thought about it yet. So I hadn't

790
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: thought about one of the you know, I haven't asked

791
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: you yet. And what is your I've got a long right,

792
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: there's a there's a bunch of individual matchups I want

793
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: to see. For instance, you think about what Sauce Gardner

794
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: was asked right when he was drafted about, you know,

795
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: garden in the AFC East and going up against guys

796
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: like Steph King said, Yeah, I think so whether he

797
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: said pretty easily or whatever, Um, Sauce Gardner was saying, Yeah,

798
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: I want Steph Diggs. So I want to see that

799
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: matchup because you know, Ken Dorsey's gonna give him a chance. Um,

800
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: it'll be fun stuff like that. I like to see

801
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: von Miller going against the Ram whenever that game happens.

802
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: Von Miller going back to the team. He was only

803
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 1: there for half a season or you know, the last

804
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: third of the season plus playoffs, and you know, won

805
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: a World championship with him and then left. He said

806
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: he had a great he had a great time there

807
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: and he had nothing but great things to say in

808
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: vice versa. The Rams loved him and wanted him to

809
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: come back. The guy goes to Buffalo. Yeah, there's gonna

810
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: be a lot of matchups within that Rams game. I

811
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: mean von Miller is one of those, Uh Steph Diggs

812
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey, Cooper Cup and Trey White, O b J.

813
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: If he comes back to the Rams and Trey White,

814
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: um or maybe even Kayer Alm, Like, what is that

815
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: going to look like? We're not sure who's going to

816
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: be that opposite corner starting uh, starting next to Trey

817
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: White and Taron Johnson too. Yeah, I mean, it could

818
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: be all of that. Um, it'll be interesting to see.

819
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: It'll be the Bill's offensive line against Aaron Donald and company.

820
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch that happens. Will be Aaron Donald,

821
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen again, Saron Donald, Yeah, Josh Allens, Daron Donald

822
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: and all that. Now, we saw that in twenty twenty

823
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: and the Bills. That was the game that Bills jumped

824
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: way out in front. Rams came back, took the lead

825
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: late and Josh threw the over the top pass to

826
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: tight End Croft, Tyler Cross, Tyler Cross right over the

827
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: top to Tyler Croft, touchdown. Bills win it. Uh And

828
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: they were often running in twenty that was in That

829
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: was with fifteen seconds left in the fourth quarter. They

830
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: scored that touchdown. That was. It was pretty special. So

831
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: they've played before this Rams club and Buffalo, and Buffalo

832
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: hung in there with him more so, you know, even

833
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: more so beat him. But that game was here in

834
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, and this one was going to be in

835
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: so far, it'll be fun. Fun to go out. I think.

836
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: Another one that I have on this long list that

837
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: I tried to make before we went on today is

838
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry against our retooled defensive line. What is that

839
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: going to look like? How How's von gonna stop Derrick Henry?

840
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: How's our defense gonna do with that test? Because if

841
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: we think back to last year, Derrick Henry racked up

842
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: the rushing yards against the Bills. Last year, If I

843
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: can remember, it wasn't that pretty. I think it was

844
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: okay to start, and then I think the wheels kind

845
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: of fell off. As I'm pulling up the box score

846
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: to check on this, Yeah, Derreck Henry had one hundred

847
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: and forty three rushing yards. I think he had a

848
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: pretty big run there. It was, Yeah, the seventy six

849
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: yard run for a touchdown in the second quarter. The

850
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: Bills were up six to zero because they kicked two

851
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: field goals to start the game, and then Derrick Henry

852
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: broke open for seventy six yard touchdown. He had twenty

853
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: rushes for one hundred and forty three yards and three, yeah,

854
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in that game. So that was there was

855
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: a great outing by him, and that was kind of

856
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: their modus operandi. They got to the number one seed

857
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: last year doing it. And and it's interesting, you got

858
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: they got the one seed. They got the one seed

859
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: I forgot that. Yeah, and nobody was really thinking I

860
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: don't want the one seed and they were all going, man,

861
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: I hope we go to Tennessee and play those guys.

862
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, Um, nobody wanted Kansas City, nobody wanted Buffalo,

863
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, really didn't want the Bank. Nobody wanted to

864
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: be a hot team at that point. So it was

865
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: it was one of those things where a lot of people, um,

866
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: you know, none of the teams in the playoffs were

867
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: like sitting there going uh, you know, the one seeds

868
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: pretty tough, not really, I mean they were that was

869
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: the team. Everybody was like, I wish we could get them.

870
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: I hope we can get to them anyway because they

871
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: you know, they got the bye week. But yeah, if

872
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: you talk about you know, the other teams in this

873
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 1: in this in the standings last year, nobody wanted any

874
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: part of Kansas City, Buffalo, or Cincinnati. Uh. And then

875
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: you got Vegas, New England, Pittsburgh. You know, none of

876
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: those those teams were you know, had good years, but

877
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: you know they were going to go on the road,

878
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: and none of them wanted to go to Buffalo, Kansas City,

879
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: or Cincinnati. Yeah, they wanted to go they wanted to

880
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: go to Tennessee. This is gonna be the fifth year

881
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 1: in a row that we play the Titans. They have

882
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: basically become a divisional opponent, right Kansas City, same thing,

883
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: And the Bills have lost the last two against the Titans.

884
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: They won the first two if you're a counting the

885
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: last four games. This year is going to be the

886
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: fifth year, the fifth game that they play against the Titans.

887
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: Those two teams, the Bills and Titans, just seem to

888
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: go back and forth, same with the Kansas City Chiefs.

889
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: So those are two good games that are going to

890
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: be on the schedule wherever they're slighted. We know the

891
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: Titans is that week to Monday night game in Buffalo,

892
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: so it's like, hello the seasons here, We're gonna throw

893
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: the Titans at you and see if you guys haven't

894
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: figured out yet in September, you know, Noah, no couple

895
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: of weeks to tune things up before you get a

896
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 1: team like the Titans getting thrown right into the fire.

897
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: To read it, we can read a couple off the

898
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: tweet sheet here before we go to break. So let's

899
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: go to the tweet sheet Brought to you by Corgan

900
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills,

901
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: will read first from Justin. He said, the Packers game

902
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, Rogers last trip to Orchard Park and

903
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: possibly last season against US I like the Bills, but

904
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: should be a damn good game. Yeah, and Rogers the

905
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: defending MVP, last two time MVP. And you know that's

906
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: where we all think Josh is gonna get to at

907
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: some point passing in the torch type of game. Maybe

908
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 1: certainly it's going to be one where it's a measuring

909
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: stick for Josh and everybody else Adams. For now, we'll

910
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: have unless it's really early in the season, which it

911
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: could be. Its could be a measuring stick game and

912
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: also one of those games where you know, the Packers

913
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: are the only team to go back to back thirteen

914
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: win seasons. You think they can do it third time.

915
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: We'll their defense looks like it's lost a little something

916
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 1: and Davanta Adams leaves a big gap in their wide

917
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: receiving room. So we'll see if the Packers are the

918
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: same team they've been over the last two or three years.

919
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: But certainly the Bill's aspirations are that they're going to

920
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: be every bit of the team they've been the last

921
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: couple of games. That's a game that's going to be interesting, because, yes,

922
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: the Packers are going to be competitive, Yes they're going

923
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: to be a good team, but what are they going

924
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: to look like this year? Some things have happened to

925
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: them in the offseason. You talked about Davanta Adams, like

926
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. They picked up Christian Watson, a great

927
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the second round, but what type of

928
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: impact does he have. Velda's Scanling also not a part

929
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: of the team anymore. One of their other wide receivers

930
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: who Aaron Rodgers would go to. So it'll it'll be

931
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: interesting to see what Green Bay looks like this year

932
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: and how competitive they are. And if Aaron Rodgers, you know,

933
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: could compete for another MVP type caliber season, who you'll

934
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: be in the conversation for surely, I mean certainly Davante Adams.

935
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 1: I've always said it's the it's the quarterback that makes

936
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: the wide receivers rather than the other way around, because

937
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: the guy's got to pull the trigger. That's true. Ascodale

938
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: Beckham last year in Cleveland, he was running around all

939
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: open all day and was not getting the ball. So

940
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: Rogers is going to help whoever it is that he's

941
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: got out there running around. He's gonna be great. But

942
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: will those guys help him out enough to put him

943
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: into that conversation? I mean not certainly. The MVP is

944
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: an individual award, but you don't see that award being

945
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: given to guys on teams that stink, at least not

946
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: very often. Yeah, definitely, what position will matchup? What player

947
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: do you want to see go up against some of

948
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: the guys in Buffalo? Which one is circled on your schedule?

949
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: Which one are you looking forward to most will answer

950
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: some more questions on the other side of the break.

951
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live is presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo

952
00:51:49,640 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Down at a stove Tasker who has spread

953
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

954
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: of a dual role player. Set Steve a blimp. We're

955
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: not even in the spread. A fear of normalcy our

956
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: number two for us on One Bills Live from One

957
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive, Maddie glab alongside Steve Tasker. We hope you

958
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: guys are all enjoying the beautiful afternoon, maybe listening to

959
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: this as you're going on walk or have the car

960
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 1: windows down, maybe even the top down if you're driving

961
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: a convertible. It'd be the perfect day for that. Things

962
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: are busy here at One Bill's Drive. The rookies arrived

963
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: today for Rookie Mini Camp, which begins tomorrow. One of

964
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: the exciting kind of behind the scenes things that we

965
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: get to do um as a team, as a media department,

966
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: our creative staff is we kind of have all the

967
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: guys on the team roll through a media day is

968
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 1: kind of what we call it, and that's where we

969
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: have the guys go on green screen in their uniforms

970
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: and we get them hyping up the crowd or saying

971
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: different one liners or shooting some stuff that we'll use

972
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: throughout the season. So the rookies are going through a

973
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: couple of stations right now for us, and that's always

974
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: an exciting time because it's kind of like, all right,

975
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: the season is within view when you start to shoot

976
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: some things with the rookies with the current players, so

977
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: they're setting up for that. It'll be fun to see

978
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: what comes out of that, what the rookies are used for,

979
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: and then when we start to attack that with all

980
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: the veterans, that'll be a fun long day where we

981
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: kind of try and get the entire roster to roll

982
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: through at least two introductions for the video board. Some

983
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: of the stuff that you guys see on the video board,

984
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: we try and get that out of the way in

985
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: the off season. It's one of the strange things that

986
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: we're still dealing with from the pandemic, is that now

987
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: that we're kind of getting back into where we're finger

988
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,240
Speaker 1: quotes here normal. Yeah, you get a chance, the rookies

989
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: come in, you get a chance say hey, how are

990
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: you doing, what's going on, where are you from, how's

991
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: it going, where are you living, how's it going, you're

992
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 1: finding to play that all that stuff. You have normal

993
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: conversations with these new players. It was months and months

994
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: and months before we ever had Gabe David's face to

995
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: face where we even got a chance to say hello

996
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: to him. And now it's just it's so cool just

997
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: to be able to go out and check out practice

998
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: and watch these guys happen. Hey, what's going on? You know,

999
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: and you say hi to you all that kind of stuff.

1000
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: Fist bump those guys, say hey, how's it going. Good

1001
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: to see you and watch him play, watch him practice

1002
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: because it's been so distant. Even we're in the same

1003
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: building and it's been so distant for two and a

1004
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 1: half years. It's it's still refreshingly fun to be back

1005
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: to what we used to call normal. Yeah, and it's

1006
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: it's fun to be here. You take that stuff for

1007
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: granted for sure when you have and then when it's

1008
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: taken away, it's like, oh snap. We don't have the

1009
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: type of communication or the the type of face to

1010
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: face relationship that we used to have with a lot

1011
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 1: of people in the building. And it's fun to be

1012
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: able to, you know, chat with the new players or

1013
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff to get to know them more on

1014
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: a personal level. Because all these guys, at least the

1015
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: rookies and some of the new guys who are on

1016
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 1: this roster through free agency or however they arrived to Buffalo,

1017
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to get a lay of the

1018
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: land too, and it's nice to be able to draw

1019
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: similarities with some of these guys right off the bat,

1020
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: so you can start to build those relationships with the

1021
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: guys who might be making plays here on Sundays. Soon enough,

1022
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: we've got some more callers hanging on the line. We

1023
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: are anticipating our schedule release. Here tonight at eight o'clock

1024
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. Jason from Alabama. You're on with us, Jason,

1025
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: what do you want to chat about? Hey, Maddie and Steve,

1026
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: how are you two doing today? Doing well? Doing good? Hey?

1027
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: Is my second time calling stevenly remember me also one

1028
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 1: that was going to go on a hunter strigle, well

1029
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: fast until you take your rifle place in the hall thing.

1030
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: Don't do it, don't do it. You had the same

1031
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: comment last time. I still mean it. But I want

1032
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: to talk about two things. First that got Joe car

1033
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: earlier about the messle the Vikings. I too, am looking

1034
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: forward to the game too, but I don't think the

1035
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: Bills will lose the Vikings. I don't think our Bills

1036
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: will lose to them. But we're looking forward to it

1037
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: because our cousin is the backup running back for the

1038
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: Vikings to Alexander Madison. As interesting for the family, Yes,

1039
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: it's very cool. But me and my son were talking

1040
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: and we looked over some stuff I met justus with

1041
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: the afcast. We think that of all the once were

1042
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: favorite win a division in the se We think we

1043
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: have the easiest path with the Seast. Just our opinion,

1044
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: but I think we can sweep to the Vision. Why

1045
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 1: don't you guys thought about that. I don't know if

1046
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: we have the easiest path. I think the division to

1047
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: me that seems the most down would be the South.

1048
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee's not the team they were last year when they

1049
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: got the number one seed. Indianapolis is breaking in a

1050
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: quarterback once again, and Matt Ryan, although I like Indianapolis's

1051
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: chances to win that division. Uh. And then you know,

1052
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: particularly with UM with Jacksonville in that decision division as well,

1053
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: so UM, you know, with Jacksonville, with Indianapolis, with Tennessee

1054
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: and and jack and the Texans. UM, that seems to

1055
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: me the easiest division to win. But like you said,

1056
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: it's still competitive because nobody's really gonna take the bull

1057
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: by the horns. Although I can't believe the Colts didn't

1058
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs last year. UM, And I think

1059
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: that was a team. To me, I think Frank had

1060
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: him peaked too soon. They played so good in here

1061
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: when they came into Buffalo, they were they were an

1062
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: absolute both sides of the ball. They were they were

1063
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: they were crushing a really good football team here in Buffalo.

1064
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: And it's as bad. I think it's as battle loss

1065
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: as Sean mcdermot's ever taken. So they they've got a

1066
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: chance to walk, in particular with Matt Ryan, so that

1067
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,919
Speaker 1: that's the cream. Look, I think they've got the easiest road,

1068
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: even with the Tennessee Titans and Derrick Henry. But I'm

1069
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: with you. I think the Bills are the favor of

1070
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: the East with no question. I don't know that the Colts.

1071
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that the Patriots, Jets and

1072
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna be as much of a pushover as Jacksonville,

1073
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: Houston and Tennessee. Well, we kind of saw them all

1074
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: evenly matching. The FC was kind of evenly matched in

1075
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 1: the North and also even mashed you said the South.

1076
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: So I don't think we evenly matched with the East.

1077
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: So I thought we had probably the easier path. I

1078
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: don't think those teams that, even if they're improved, the

1079
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins or the Patriots or the Jets are ready for

1080
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: us yet. But hey, I guess that's why they put

1081
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: the games. I think, Ben, what else you got? You

1082
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: guys having a good day? Whether they there, You should

1083
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: see the weather down here in the Rocket City of

1084
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: huss Alabama is gorgeous. It's spectacular up here too. Jason

1085
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks. Thanks Bill so YAsO A good one. Yeah.

1086
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, you play the you play

1087
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: the question game with the divisional matchups every single year

1088
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: because we know we've got the Dolphins and the Patriots

1089
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: and the Jets twice on the schedule. Somewhere, I'm looking

1090
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: back at last year's schedule and I remember when it

1091
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: came out. One thing that I circled was we've got

1092
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: to play the Patriots twice in December. We played them

1093
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: December sixth, and then we went to the Bucks and

1094
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:34,439
Speaker 1: then hosted the Panthers and then played the Patriots again

1095
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: December twenty sixth. So one thing I will look for

1096
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: is are both of those Patriots game and the second

1097
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: half of the schedule because the Patriots, regardless of who

1098
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: is on their roster, Bill Belichick is always going to

1099
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: craft something up that makes that team competitive in different ways.

1100
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: Maybe not every single game, because we have had our

1101
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: way with the Patriots multiple times, but there's usually one

1102
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: game year against the Patriots where am I get a

1103
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: little close? And then the Dolphins and the Jets It's

1104
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: it's the game of are they ready yet? Are they

1105
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: still building? What's going on the Dolphins at Tyreek Hill.

1106
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,919
Speaker 1: The Jets had an incredible draft. Are those draft picks

1107
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: gonna work out for them this season? Will will they

1108
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: all see the field? Will they all be impactful? Are

1109
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: the Jets still a few years away? Are the Dolphins

1110
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: a year away? The Dolphins look really different this year,

1111
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: like who knows what's gonna happen with those two teams?

1112
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: And the Patriots didn't do much in free agency, and

1113
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 1: then they go in draft Cole Strange in the first

1114
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: round of the draft when people had third round grades

1115
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: on him. So it's just a bunch of questions for us. Yeah,

1116
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots are you know there are always well coached,

1117
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: and you know, the game that they won last year

1118
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: in the forty mile an hour wins certainly gave them

1119
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,439
Speaker 1: something to you know, to think of, gave the Bills

1120
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: something to think about. But the last two games the

1121
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: Bills played them, I mean, the Bills couldn't have played better.

1122
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: And the pay I mean they just absolutely took it

1123
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: to them. They took them to the wood shed twice.

1124
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: The playoff game here in Buffalo was was an absolute beatdown,

1125
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: absolute beat down to seventeen. It was it was not

1126
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: that close the Bills. The Bills couldn't have gotten a

1127
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: more The Bills couldn't get more offensive yards in that game.

1128
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: They couldn't have because every time they got the ball offensively,

1129
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: it was a perfect They scored, They went down to

1130
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: the whole distance and scored. They you know, so that's

1131
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: you know that, it's it's impossible for the Bills to

1132
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: have played better in that game. And you know, and

1133
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: then sent the Patriots home for the season. It was

1134
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: they never punted. Oh my god. You know, they just

1135
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: go on and on about that game. It was a

1136
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: perfect game. Um yeah. I mean as far as the

1137
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Dolphins and the Jets, the Dolphins, the

1138
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Jets are are always going to be dangerous because they

1139
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: know this team so well, they see them, they know

1140
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 1: the personnel, all of that. And you can always catch

1141
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 1: as even the Jets, the Jaguars, you know, every the

1142
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, they can all catch lightning in a bottle

1143
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: for a game. Um. But when they can do that

1144
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: for seventeen weeks, then then they'll be arrived. But now,

1145
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: right now, for all these teams. The thing that makes

1146
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: the best teams in the league better than the worst

1147
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: teams in the league isn't necessarily the talent level. It's

1148
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: the consistency that they can play at a high level. Yeah,

1149
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: there's always a high level inside these rosters because they're

1150
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: all that talented. But their ability to play consistently well

1151
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: weekend week out is what you know, turns up. You know,

1152
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,439
Speaker 1: a six and eleven team into an eleven six team.

1153
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: They can do it consistently week after week, and that's

1154
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets are way more talented than they

1155
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: were a year ago, But they are they gonna be

1156
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: able to translate? Yeah? Are they going to translate it

1157
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: onto the field this year? Are they gonna put do

1158
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: it consistently week in week out? Robert Sala, I've got

1159
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot of respectful we'll see. I'm the Jets are

1160
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem in the near future. I think

1161
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: maybe this year for one of the games the Bill's

1162
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: player both of them there, they're gonna be a problem.

1163
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins went nine and eight last year. Remember they had

1164
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: that seven game win streak kind of towards the end

1165
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: of the middle half end of the season there where

1166
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: they were hot fire for a bunch of games, beat

1167
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: some teams. They were like two and eight and finished

1168
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: nine and eight. They were they were playing hard for

1169
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: Brian Flores and I cannot believe he's not their head coach. Yeah,

1170
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: new coaching staff there. How is it going to look different?

1171
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: Is it going to work with two? I mean so

1172
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: many questions. So it's tough to put your finger on

1173
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Dolphins and even the Patriots for

1174
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: that matter. But you're gonna get a competitive game, I think,

1175
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: and at least one out of the two. And you

1176
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: see each of those teams twice throughout the season. All right,

1177
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: back to the phone lines here, we are gonna go

1178
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: to John. Hey, John, how are you doing today? Oh?

1179
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. I just uh on my way from

1180
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: the trade area. I'm from Farmington, Michigan down to a

1181
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach. So while I was on hold there, I

1182
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: crossed the Ohio River from Ohio into a West Virginia. Now,

1183
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: so you guys are making my trip go faster. I

1184
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 1: appreciate it. That's good. What question you have for us? Well,

1185
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to say the matchups I'm looking forward to

1186
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: this year at the home games would be both Cleveland

1187
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: and green Bay. The last two games the Bills played

1188
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: at either those stadiums Cleveland Cleveland being in sixteen thirteen.

1189
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: At those disappointing when that was only a short trip

1190
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: though always about a two hour drive from my house.

1191
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: But the one in green Bay that was that one hurt.

1192
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 1: That was a the twenty two nothing beat out. Eric

1193
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: Rodgers put on us and my wife from Wisconsin, so

1194
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: she was along and I took a lot of grief

1195
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: for being a Bills fan sit there with my wife

1196
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: and her backers here. But so that I'm still looking

1197
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: I in my rooms from that one and hoping that

1198
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: they can return the favor in Buffalo this year. Yeah,

1199
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: those will be two good games, two good home games,

1200
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean Packers at home. It'd be fun to go

1201
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: play in green Bay and see what that atmosphere is like.

1202
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: We know the Bills have done that before, but hosting

1203
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: a team like the Packers here in Buffalo, they'll they'll

1204
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: get a little taste of our families. I would think.

1205
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: I would think Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen matchup would

1206
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: have a chance to be a standalone game somehow. So

1207
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm like on a Christmas Day or a Thanksgiving or

1208
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: a Monday night or Thursday night or something like that.

1209
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: I would I would think a lot of people want

1210
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: to see that game. It's one of the rare Yeah,

1211
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: it's one of the rare matchups where it's out of conference.

1212
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: It's NFC against AFC, and those sometimes are not so

1213
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, not so compelling. But with those two guys

1214
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: in it, I think this one does. Yeah, got anything

1215
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: else for us? John? Uh? Yeah, I had won a

1216
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: nice revenge game and that was the Patriots getting the

1217
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: beat down and in the playoffs because the last playoff

1218
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: game I saw between the Bills back then it was

1219
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: the Boston Patriots December twenty eighth. We had snow all

1220
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: night long, and I remember sitting in the wooden bleachers

1221
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: at the Old Rock Pile with about a foot of

1222
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: snow and newspapers under our feet and the Patriots sixteen

1223
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: to six. So I waited till sixty five until this

1224
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: last playoffs game for revenge on that one. Oh well,

1225
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: hopefully the revenge continues on throughout this season. Maybe maybe

1226
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: we'll draw the Patriots again in the playoffs. That was

1227
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: a fun game to be part of since I live

1228
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: in Detroit, Ol. You know, I really look at I

1229
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: think I really have my gut. Thanks for so. I

1230
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: really hope that happens because I'm working all right. All right, Well,

1231
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: thanks John. Hopefully the rest of your drive goes well. Well.

1232
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: Eight out you guys want to work over time to

1233
01:06:55,360 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: day and until I get there. Ten. Yeah, No, we're

1234
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna have a live We're gonna have a live stream

1235
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: show on the on the schedule announcement. Yeah, you can

1236
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 1: watch that at eight. You'll take me home of the

1237
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: last two hours, all right, man, talk to you, Thanks John. Yeah,

1238
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: the green Bay game. It's funny that he brought up

1239
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: the last time the Bills played against the Packers. Yeah,

1240
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: the twenty two to nothing game. I wasn't working for

1241
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: the team yet, but that was a game that I,

1242
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, pulled up when you're starting to do the

1243
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: research of Okay, the opponents that we play, last time

1244
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: we played against them, and it's a game that people

1245
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: talk about here within the building. Um, Josh's rookie season

1246
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: is not brought up all the time, but I think

1247
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: brought up in a way where you look at Josh's

1248
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: growth from his rookie season, and that was a game

1249
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: where he didn't have his best game, and to think

1250
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: about how much Josh has grown since twenty two to

1251
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: nothing loss against the Green Bay Packers. To see where

1252
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: he's going to be at now that that game was

1253
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: played on September twenty seventh, in twenty eighteen, to see

1254
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: where he's going to be at now here in twenty

1255
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: twenty two. Wherever the game has played on the schedule,

1256
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: it's a it's a different quarterback that the Packers will play. Yeah,

1257
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: it was really early in his career, really early. It

1258
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: was like the third or fourth game in probably the

1259
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: second second. Yeah, second, it's probably his third start um

1260
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: and going into Lambeau tough spot and we've all seen

1261
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: how far he had to come from the when he started,

1262
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: and he still had a long way to go. But yeah,

1263
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: I would be I would not be surprised if he

1264
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: had a little bit of an in his side. Yeah,

1265
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: thinking about that game, I mean that's Josh too. Yeah,

1266
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: I got something. Yeah, he said I got something to

1267
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: show you now, Yeah, maybe kind of that. He's a

1268
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: competitive guys, right, I think it not. The more we

1269
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: talk about it, the more I can see that being

1270
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 1: a like a standalone game on a holiday and it

1271
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: has the like, the the star power and the pizzazz

1272
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: to be a standalone game, right And like, like I said,

1273
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to find really good games that are like

1274
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: NFC against AFCs because they're not divisional. They don't see

1275
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: each other that often. There's not an animosity between the fans,

1276
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You don't have a long

1277
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: history of bad beats. Um, So there's like, there's nothing

1278
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rematch, you know, there's just something there is

1279
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: something in there about you know, Aaron Rodgers winning two

1280
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: MVPs and Josh coming in second in one and maybe

1281
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 1: third and another or second another, so you know, there's

1282
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. But yeah, we'll see, we'll see,

1283
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: we'll see where it's at. Back to the phone lines,

1284
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to Marie and Amherst. Do you have

1285
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: a positional matchup that you are looking forward to the

1286
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 1: most on the schedule as we know our opponents, but

1287
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: not exactly sure where they're going to be slight a yet. Yes,

1288
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: how are you doing good? How are you good? Um?

1289
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm thinking the Jig versus the Soft Gartner match up.

1290
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 1: He was talking so much trash he got drafted that

1291
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: he can lock down on Bigs and he's looking forward

1292
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,600
Speaker 1: to it, So I think that's going to be a

1293
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: great matchup. And the second I would like both of

1294
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: your opinion on should we be concerned or excited with

1295
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 1: our new offensive coordinator because you think that you know

1296
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna really use these explosive players the right way,

1297
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 1: in the right positions the right matchup. That's what I

1298
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 1: would like to know from you. Yeah, don't Marie. We'd

1299
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: all like to know that. I choose to be optimistic

1300
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 1: because he was promoted from within and he doesn't have

1301
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: to learn or has to. He doesn't have to teach

1302
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,799
Speaker 1: or learn the language of the offense or a new offense.

1303
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 1: He can he has to run in the same offense

1304
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,640
Speaker 1: the Bills have run in the past. It's more like

1305
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: slipping into a car that's already running and just starting

1306
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: to steer it. U now hit The thing also that

1307
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: the reputation that follows ken Dorsey around, even as a

1308
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: player in college, I think he's one of those guys.

1309
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: I think he was, like, I don't know, thirty eight

1310
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: and two or thirty four and two as a collegiate quarterback.

1311
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:16,799
Speaker 1: He only lost two games. He was a pro quarterback

1312
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 1: for a minute. Now, he's been a coach for a while. Now,

1313
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 1: he's an offensive coordinator, called and plays. The thing that

1314
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: has followed him around everywhere he's been has been that

1315
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 1: he has been known as a very smart guy, really smart,

1316
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,560
Speaker 1: and for me, one of the things I've learned is

1317
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 1: always bet on brains. Brains will carry a long way,

1318
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: and Ken Dorsey has that. He's got a lot of

1319
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna have some good people in the room with him.

1320
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Josh is now Josh, He's got to be considered kind

1321
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: of an asset and a resource as much as a guy.

1322
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: You're just trying to get to play better. So they're

1323
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 1: kind of at that point. Matt Barkley one of those

1324
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: guys who could come in and help out like that case.

1325
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,560
Speaker 1: Keenum is a is an has an enormous wealth of

1326
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: knowledge and experience as a quarterback. They're not alone in there.

1327
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: So yes, I'm optimistic and excited about it. I'm it's

1328
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 1: always a bummer when you lose a good coordinator like

1329
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: Brian Dable. He's a great coach, great coordinator. His resume

1330
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: is unbelievably qualified. But that doesn't mean Ken Dorsey's not

1331
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 1: going to do a really good job. I think we're

1332
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: all excited to see him work. Yeah, you talk about

1333
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: his smarts, and what people know Ken Dorsey for is

1334
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 1: thirty eight and two. It was his record at Miami. Yeah,

1335
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: you're right, so you've got smarts two over there, Steve.

1336
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: But we had a partner breakfast this morning with Brandon

1337
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 1: Bean and I am seated, so I asked a bunch

1338
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 1: of questions of Brandon, and then he took a bunch

1339
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: of questions from the crowd, and somebody asked about Ken Dorsey,

1340
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: and Brandon Bean had the same exact thing to say

1341
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: about Ken Dorsey that you just shared was that Ken

1342
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: Dorsey may not be remembered for the type of arm

1343
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: that he had, but he'll be remembered for his smarts.

1344
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 1: He is a very smart quarterback. He has a very

1345
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:12,600
Speaker 1: wise mind, and whether it be his decision making or

1346
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: just the playbook or drawing things up and seeing it

1347
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 1: from the lens of a quarterback, you can't get any

1348
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: better than having a quarterback himself in that type of

1349
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: role as an offensive coordinator. So I would say I'm

1350
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:32,640
Speaker 1: excited too. I mean, the players, including Josh Allen, have

1351
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: raved about Ken Dorsey and how excited they are for

1352
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 1: him to take over the offense. And sure they could

1353
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,600
Speaker 1: have gone out and gotten some new offensive coordinator, a

1354
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 1: new hot name from a different team, But I love

1355
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: the fact that it's it's a promotion from within one

1356
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: because that's what Sean McDermott loves and wants out of

1357
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 1: his coaching staff. He wants guys to be able to

1358
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: move up the ranks and move into roles like that

1359
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: so then they can have opportunities, whether it be a

1360
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 1: coordinator opportunity or a head coaching opportunities someday. And then two,

1361
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: these guys know him, they know what he demands of

1362
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: his players. They're familiar with probably the type of offense

1363
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 1: that he may want to install. They're familiar with maybe

1364
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:14,560
Speaker 1: even some of the new things that he's going to

1365
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: want to bring to this offense. There's no learning curve,

1366
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: and I think this team is mature enough to have

1367
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,600
Speaker 1: a learning curve like that if they needed to. But

1368
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 1: I think it's going to set them up for even

1369
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 1: earlier success knowing that they know the guy who's who's

1370
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,600
Speaker 1: in the chair of offensive coordinator. There's no there's not

1371
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: going to be that that ramp up period of time

1372
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: during training camp where you're like, oh, now we get

1373
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: to install an entirely new offense. Here we go. We

1374
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: have a month to figure it out and a month

1375
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 1: to plan everything before we hit the ground running. And

1376
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: oh wait, we have week two against the Titans on

1377
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. So I just think you take all

1378
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 1: of that out of it, and you have something that

1379
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,560
Speaker 1: will probably be seamless and in a really easy transition.

1380
01:14:57,240 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: Stability is gives him a chance to be successful really fast.

1381
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's huge stability and that's going to

1382
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 1: allow them to kind of shift gears rather than change horses,

1383
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: so to speak. So I'm yeah, I'm I'm you said,

1384
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 1: are you should we be excited or concerned? I'm excited. Yeah.

1411
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 1: it stays in Buffalo, and hopefully we don't have any more,

1412
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 1: you know, weekends or weeks of forty or fifty degree

1413
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: weather hopefully turned for the better here as we approached

1414
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 1: the middle of May, we're gonna go back to the

1415
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: phone lines here, Ralph, you're on with us. Do you

1416
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: have any questions for us this afternoon? Yeah, I have

1417
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:04,720
Speaker 1: a couple of questions. I wonder if you could go

1418
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: over to an undrafted free agent signings and I wanted

1419
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 1: to see what his best time in the forty was. Oh,

1420
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: you want to take best forty time there? We don't

1421
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 1: have I don't know if we have a list of it,

1422
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:17,719
Speaker 1: and we don't have a list of the rookie unsigned

1423
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: rookies free agents yet. They're gonna they'll pop that out

1424
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:24,600
Speaker 1: probably tomorrow. Yep, it's gonna come out this weekend. I

1425
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 1: would assume it could come out as late as this weekend.

1426
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: So we're expecting within the next couple of days. That's

1427
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: when they released last year's DFAs was around rookie Mini Camp.

1428
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: So sometime around the end of this week or this weekend,

1429
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: I would expect. We know those names. Yeah, And as

1430
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: for me, when I back forty years ago, forty two

1431
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: years ago, when I was eighteen, I waited about one

1432
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,639
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds one hundred and fifty five pounds,

1433
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: and I could run. I got a hand time four

1434
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 1: three three. That was my fastest forty. But I was

1435
01:17:57,640 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: only one hundred and sixty pounds, so it doesn't really count.

1436
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: But I was I was a four or four guy

1437
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 1: in the forty when I was playing, at least when

1438
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: I was younger man four four. I still I still

1439
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: want to race you on the indoor. You're not going

1440
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 1: to race me. I can't even I'll break some I'll break.

1441
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: That would be like the perfect activity for today. We

1442
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: get outside to do a segment guide James Robill to

1443
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,640
Speaker 1: film it, and you put it on a TikTok. Put

1444
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 1: it on a TikTok. It'll go viral because of you,

1445
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you could probably run a

1446
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: four four forty still because people like watching train wrecks.

1447
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the tweet sheet. We only got

1448
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: through one of them. Our tweet sheet is brought to

1449
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

1450
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. So we'll go with Matthew's response

1451
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: to our Twitter question, which was which individual or position

1452
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,759
Speaker 1: matchup are you looking forward to most on the twenty

1453
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: twenty two schedule, And Matthew says he's excited for Justin

1454
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 1: Jefferson against Trey White. If he's back and healthy when

1455
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: we play them, that'll be an exciting matchup. I also

1456
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 1: think maybe it's me, maybe it's Bills fans. You know,

1457
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson kind of has a circle around him because

1458
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: that's who who the Bills maybe would have picked, or

1459
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: that's where the Bills would have been picking if they

1460
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: decided to keep that first round pick in twenty nineteen,

1461
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: and staid they traded it to the Vikings, so they

1462
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: got step On Diggs. So we had Steph Diggs from

1463
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings and they got Jefferson, Justin Jefferson and they

1464
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: with the pick play. Yeah, kind of a win win, right,

1465
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: So then uh, and then also Dalvin Cook and and

1466
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 1: James Cook on that. That's all of a sudden, that

1467
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 1: game's kind of kind of fun. Yeah. The Vikings also

1468
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: have Patrick Peterson too, one of their corners, so oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

1469
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 1: he's a good player. He's one of the all time

1470
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: great athletes. So yeah, there's yeah, there's something in there,

1471
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: you know that's one of the You know, we don't

1472
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: play the NFC North very often. You know, Green Bay,

1473
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,679
Speaker 1: Okay is great and they've always had a g quarterback

1474
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: for everybody's lifetime before Brett Favn and Aaron Rodgers. But

1475
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: you know Chicago and Detroit. We see Detroit every year

1476
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Minnesota hardly ever see And it'll be interesting.

1477
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 1: Do you think, Josh, we'll hurtle over some guy again,

1478
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: because that's where it all started there in minnieappos mine

1479
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: just have to make it a tradition here, find a

1480
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: way to do it again, Tiffany or Miles says. We'll

1481
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: go with Miles first and then get to Tiffany. Miles says,

1482
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:35,480
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see Stefan Diggs torch the Vikings secondary.

1483
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: It could happen. I'm excited to see that. I'm also

1484
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: excited just about the matchups with Gabe Davis. Think about

1485
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: some of the players that we have on a roster

1486
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: on offense, our skill players that are a little bit

1487
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: harder to match up against, and Gabe Davis is one

1488
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: of those guys. I think James Cook will be one

1489
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: of those guys. So I'm looking forward to seeing how

1490
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: defenses try to match up with and try to stop

1491
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: players like Gabe Davis, who's a bigger body receiver. You know,

1492
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:06,679
Speaker 1: you may not put a corner up against him depending

1493
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: on where he lines up or just depending on how

1494
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: he's playing that game. And then James Cook, he's he's

1495
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: a running back, but he's definitely gonna be a running

1496
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: back who can catch passes from Josh Allen. Uh So,

1497
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: what type of player are you gonna match up against him?

1498
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: Can you match him up against a linebacker? Linebacker is

1499
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: gonna have a have a tough time even even catching

1500
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: him because he's he's a fast guy. It's gonna be

1501
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: a really, really a fun thing to see the Bills

1502
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:37,759
Speaker 1: do because they've got some guys that are multifaceted. OJ

1503
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: Howard is a tight end along with Dawson Knox, both

1504
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: guys really good wide receiving threats. And OJ Howard can

1505
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 1: really run and he's enormous, so he's really big and

1506
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 1: really fast. Or are they gonna are they gonna put

1507
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: a guy big enough to tackle him in coverage or

1508
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: are they gonna get put a guy small enough to

1509
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: catch up keep up with him in coverage? What's it

1510
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:00,120
Speaker 1: gonna be um, James Cook, what's he gonna do? Are

1511
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: they gonna put it? You know they're gonna go in

1512
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: there with two tight ends, and they let them put

1513
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: linebackers in there. With a running back back there, James

1514
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: Cooking all a sudden, split everybody out and go empty

1515
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: with all these linebackers guys who can't run as well,

1516
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun to see Ken

1517
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 1: Dorsey be creative with the kind of personnel. Yes, because

1518
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 1: you'd think with two tight ends like O. J. Howard

1519
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 1: and and Dawson Knox, both of them six five plus

1520
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,720
Speaker 1: big dudes going out and blocking in the run game,

1521
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: it's like seven offensive linemen. And if you don't match

1522
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: up heavy with heavy, maybe they do kind of push

1523
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: some people around. And then if you do do that,

1524
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: you know we're having to where with all with the

1525
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: running back to split out, go three wide ends a

1526
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 1: decent amount of twenty one personnel out there too. We've

1527
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 1: talked and James Cook on the field. At the same time,

1528
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 1: I've talked a lot about positionless football players, guys who

1529
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 1: can do so much because they're really good athletes and

1530
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: they're big enough to do the physical part. Of football

1531
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 1: plus the skill part of football. It'll be fun. The

1532
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: Bills have got some of those guys. Yeah, another one

1533
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: Bills fan, twelve to eighty three. I'm excited to see

1534
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis against number two corners all year. I think

1535
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 1: he can handle it just fine. My hope is that

1536
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,759
Speaker 1: he dominates and I can't wait to see what wrinkles

1537
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey can add to this offense. Go Bills. Yeah,

1538
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis could be going against number two corners all year.

1539
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:21,920
Speaker 1: And I've talked about this before. With defenses, it's not

1540
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 1: often that you have two star corners on your roster.

1541
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: You usually just can't afford two star corners. We couldn't

1542
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 1: afford to Tredavious Whites on our roster. So a lot

1543
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 1: of the corners that are opposite you know, your star player.

1544
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: Yes they're still really good, but they are a number

1545
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: two corner for a reason. So it's fun to think

1546
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: about what Gabe Davis can do against maybe some of

1547
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,600
Speaker 1: the defenses that he's going to face, some of the

1548
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: different corners that he is going to face when he

1549
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:54,600
Speaker 1: lines up out on the field. It'll be fun to

1550
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 1: see the players we've watched developed like we watched Dawson

1551
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 1: Knox develop and Josh Allen developed on Devin Singletary developed.

1552
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 1: It'll be fun to see guys like Gabe Davis, like

1553
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 1: we saw him in that playoff game four touchdowns. I mean,

1554
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 1: it's it's a historic performance and you know, get him

1555
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 1: a chance to get on the field all the time.

1556
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: He's definitely going to have a big role this season,

1557
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. But then then again, you

1558
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: got Jamison Crowder on the team and slot receiver. You've

1559
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:25,759
Speaker 1: got Isaiah McKenzie who proved his worth a couple of games. Offense,

1560
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: James cook In back there with rotating in with Devin Singletary,

1561
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 1: Zach Moss, Jay Howard. Yeah, there's a lot of guys

1562
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: who are going to be fighting for times and it's

1563
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 1: really going to be interesting to see how they're using

1564
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 1: who emerges as the best guys among those who play

1565
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: the bulk of the snaps yea, And I think with that, yes,

1566
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 1: they're going to be rotating quite a bit. I would

1567
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 1: assume you're gonna have your go to guys who are

1568
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 1: on the field a lot more than others. But you

1569
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,640
Speaker 1: look at the offense last year and they did they

1570
01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 1: did rotate a decent amount, and I think we may

1571
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: even see a little bit more tation out of our

1572
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 1: offensive skilled players this season just because of the type

1573
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 1: of guys on the roster. But with that, the players

1574
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: are okay with that, and they're happy to do that

1575
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 1: because they're fighting together for the bigger goal, which is

1576
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 1: to make it to the biggest game they can make

1577
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: it into. And they understand that games aren't going to

1578
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 1: be one because that one person besides Josh Allen is

1579
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 1: on the field every single play. Sometimes you got to

1580
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: mix it up with your personnel and mix it up

1581
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: with the different type of weapons that you have on offense,

1582
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 1: because it is all about winning your one on one matchups.

1583
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: And and there's different players like you mentioned Isaiah McKenzie

1584
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 1: who might be a better fit out there against a

1585
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: different type of defense because he is going to win

1586
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:45,479
Speaker 1: that one on one matchup against that slot corner. Yeah,

1587
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 1: his speed will be a difference maker. And it's you're right,

1588
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: there is only one football in the game. And Steph

1589
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: Diggs may have a down yere but when they may

1590
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: win more games because you know they all these other

1591
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 1: guys got great matchups. Or you may go with only

1592
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: five targets in a game rather than twelve. Most of

1593
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: the time players are When you're winning games, nobody complains

1594
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: about anything. Everybody's all about winning, which is a good

1595
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 1: thing that It's really a good characteristic of football teams.

1596
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: If you're winning games, everybody's pretty happy, even if they

1597
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 1: stunk or even if they didn't get a chance to

1598
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 1: contribute like they'd like to. When you're winning games, everybody's

1599
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:30,360
Speaker 1: pretty okay with it. So if they can do that,

1600
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:33,639
Speaker 1: having so many guys to throw the football too, will

1601
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: always be a good thing. Yeah, not a problem at all,

1602
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: all right. Schedule at least right around the corner eight

1603

Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break here, don't go anywhere. One

1606
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 1: Bill's Live is presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

1607

Speaker 1: Quarterback Here on One Bills Live. Closing out today's show,

1608
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 1: Ready to get outside and enjoy this weather. We had

1609
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 1: our Twitter question today about what positional matchup are you

1610
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 1: looking forward to most out of this twenty twenty two schedule.

1611
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 1: We already know the opponents we know what which games

1612
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 1: are gonna be home, we know which games are going

1613
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 1: to be away. We just don't know how it'll fall.

1614
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:26,280
Speaker 1: We don't know who the Bills are going to open

1615
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: up with. We don't know who they're going to close with.

1616
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 1: We don't know how many primetime games. So still a

1617
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 1: lot of things to figure out. But holiday games are

1618
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 1: going to be decided. There's always a couple at the end.

1619
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 1: Two were certain teams. They have some that are that

1620
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: are you get into December January, the second half of December,

1621
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 1: first half of January, and the league has that flex

1622
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 1: TB up in the air. Is TBD. We'll figure out later.

1623
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 1: There may be one or two of those on the

1624
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 1: schedule as well. You got to you gotta keep an

1625
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,719
Speaker 1: eye out for that because they get into those weekends

1626
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: where it's Saturday and Sunday. So it's gonna be interesting

1627
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: because those Saturday games are blast. They're so fun, so fun.

1628
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: So um, maybe the Bills will get one or two

1629
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: of those. I don't know, but they've had it. They

1630
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:08,720
Speaker 1: had watching faces on the schedule. I think this is

1631
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna be fun schedule reveal because the Bills are a

1632
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 1: commodity people want to see them, and that means not

1633
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:18,680
Speaker 1: just Buffalo fans. That means they got some stars and

1634
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,559
Speaker 1: people are starting to look for them and see how

1635
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: they're doing. It's it's going to be a fun reveal.

1636
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:26,799
Speaker 1: The Bills had a four primetime games on last year's schedule.

1637
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm counting quickly, one, two, three, four if you count

1638
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving game, which was a twenty kick. So they

1639
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 1: had four four primetime games, two four o'clock games. So

1640
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: five is the number you can get. Are they going

1641
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: to get five? This is the four o'clock games are

1642
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 1: also very big games. Yes, it's the biggest. It's the

1643
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 1: most watched game of any game of the weekend. Because

1644
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 1: that four o'clock came. It stands alone by itself, and

1645
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,799
Speaker 1: everybody's still awake and wants to watch it, and everybody's

1646
01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 1: at home and they're ready for it. There's no early

1647
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 1: on the West coast, late on the East coast kind

1648
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: of thing going on, So it's it's a big game

1649
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 1: if you get a four o'clock a couple more hours left,

1650
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 1: eight o'clock tonight on NFL Network. Steve and I are
