How anybody looking forward 9 00:00:48,188 --> 00:00:51,068 Speaker 1: to Peter? I like bow Allen. Allen's coming on the show, 10 00:00:51,068 --> 00:00:52,988 Speaker 1: one of the wild men from that Eagles team, and 11 00:00:53,028 --> 00:00:55,308 Speaker 1: of course it's had a great NFL career. Jamie, I'm 12 00:00:55,348 --> 00:00:57,948 Speaker 1: fired up for him. Your connection with bow Allen? What 13 00:00:58,068 --> 00:01:01,068 Speaker 1: is this? Um went to the same high school as 14 00:01:01,068 --> 00:01:04,508 Speaker 1: my husband from the Yeah, Sam's a little bit older 15 00:01:04,548 --> 00:01:06,068 Speaker 1: than him, but they were I think they were five 16 00:01:06,108 --> 00:01:08,468 Speaker 1: years apart. But you know, he wore that letter jacket 17 00:01:08,508 --> 00:01:10,268 Speaker 1: when he was playing the Super Bowl all that week 18 00:01:10,308 --> 00:01:13,308 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. And so we're from the same town essentially. 19 00:01:13,388 --> 00:01:17,308 Speaker 1: So Skippers coming, all right, skip and go Bills. Bill's 20 00:01:17,308 --> 00:01:19,948 Speaker 1: head coach Sean mcderhall's in the same high school as 21 00:01:19,948 --> 00:01:24,948 Speaker 1: my Wife's incredible. Not really, I can't wait to see. 22 00:01:25,188 --> 00:01:27,628 Speaker 1: I just felt for that hard like my forehead herds. 23 00:01:27,628 --> 00:01:30,748 Speaker 1: After that, all right, it's lead. Hey, let's check in 24 00:01:30,908 --> 00:01:34,028 Speaker 1: on the raining AFC champion Bengals, who got their quarterback 25 00:01:34,108 --> 00:01:36,548 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow back at practice on Sunday. Head coach Jack 26 00:01:36,548 --> 00:01:39,988 Speaker 1: Taylor said bro has not been participating in team drills 27 00:01:40,028 --> 00:01:43,588 Speaker 1: just yet. Just seven on seven, Buddy outlined a timeline 28 00:01:43,748 --> 00:01:47,108 Speaker 1: for him yesterday. We've got a good point in place 29 00:01:47,148 --> 00:01:49,028 Speaker 1: now as we narrowed down to kind of what it's 30 00:01:49,028 --> 00:01:50,868 Speaker 1: going to look like over this week. We feel like 31 00:01:50,868 --> 00:01:52,548 Speaker 1: we've got a good grasp on the timeline of the 32 00:01:52,548 --> 00:01:54,988 Speaker 1: rest of training camp and what what we can do 33 00:01:55,028 --> 00:01:56,948 Speaker 1: on offense to make sure that he's getting all the 34 00:01:57,468 --> 00:02:00,308 Speaker 1: all the looks he needs to see before it's for him. 35 00:02:00,308 --> 00:02:02,508 Speaker 1: It's Pittsburgh. They are we ready for week one of 36 00:02:02,548 --> 00:02:05,828 Speaker 1: the season, and so we trust me. We've dialed out 37 00:02:05,868 --> 00:02:09,108 Speaker 1: every practice and he and I have had conversations about 38 00:02:09,108 --> 00:02:11,188 Speaker 1: how many opportunities we have left to make sure we 39 00:02:11,268 --> 00:02:13,228 Speaker 1: check all the boxes before we go into week one, 40 00:02:13,268 --> 00:02:15,708 Speaker 1: and we feel very confident that we'll be able to 41 00:02:15,708 --> 00:02:17,828 Speaker 1: do that and feel prepared going to that game week 42 00:02:20,708 --> 00:02:22,668 Speaker 1: that's good. That's good to hear. It sounds like Burrow, 43 00:02:22,748 --> 00:02:25,548 Speaker 1: we'll be ready for a Week one. And Cincinnati brings 44 00:02:25,588 --> 00:02:29,068 Speaker 1: back all of those talented young wide receiver certainly what 45 00:02:29,188 --> 00:02:31,508 Speaker 1: a secondary doesn't want to see when they're going up 46 00:02:31,508 --> 00:02:34,748 Speaker 1: against the Bengals. Plus, they've revamped their offensive lines, something 47 00:02:34,788 --> 00:02:37,388 Speaker 1: they had to do. They executed that in the off season, 48 00:02:38,308 --> 00:02:41,028 Speaker 1: which is an issue that gave them wants to task 49 00:02:41,068 --> 00:02:44,028 Speaker 1: on in the playoffs, so they fix that problem. So 50 00:02:44,068 --> 00:02:46,348 Speaker 1: with all that going on for them, will the Bengals 51 00:02:46,428 --> 00:02:51,228 Speaker 1: have the best offense in the AFC this season? Kyle, No, no, no. 52 00:02:51,428 --> 00:02:53,228 Speaker 1: And you look at that menu up there, and I 53 00:02:53,268 --> 00:02:55,228 Speaker 1: call it a menu because just like pick whatever you want. 54 00:02:55,548 --> 00:02:58,068 Speaker 1: And there's so many good players in such a great story. 55 00:02:58,268 --> 00:03:01,588 Speaker 1: But I really do. I hate to blow back on this, 56 00:03:01,628 --> 00:03:03,868 Speaker 1: but it's just there. I think there's a heavy naivete 57 00:03:03,868 --> 00:03:05,748 Speaker 1: when it comes to saying how great the Bengals are 58 00:03:05,748 --> 00:03:07,628 Speaker 1: going to be this year, and it's it's not their fault. 59 00:03:07,828 --> 00:03:10,348 Speaker 1: The last six teams in a row to lose the 60 00:03:10,388 --> 00:03:13,388 Speaker 1: Super Bowl have gone down offensively the following year. That 61 00:03:13,468 --> 00:03:17,508 Speaker 1: includes Mahomes Chiefs McVay Ram's Brady page. It just happens. 62 00:03:17,668 --> 00:03:20,268 Speaker 1: And we've made the case that is you just a jam. 63 00:03:20,308 --> 00:03:22,268 Speaker 1: They didn't lose anybody, and they added and they added, 64 00:03:22,548 --> 00:03:25,828 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. There's real practical reasons these teams have 65 00:03:26,228 --> 00:03:29,188 Speaker 1: tougher times. The schedule is harder, the injury luck isn't 66 00:03:29,188 --> 00:03:31,588 Speaker 1: as good. People are out for them. But I also 67 00:03:31,668 --> 00:03:33,988 Speaker 1: just think, like, look, Joe Burrow, I think shocks some 68 00:03:33,988 --> 00:03:36,588 Speaker 1: people last year. Jamar Chase definitely shocks and people are 69 00:03:36,628 --> 00:03:39,388 Speaker 1: the first two months you're shocking no one, and it's 70 00:03:39,388 --> 00:03:42,148 Speaker 1: just gonna be much harder it always is. It's so 71 00:03:42,228 --> 00:03:44,628 Speaker 1: easy to look at the young Sensation team and say, 72 00:03:44,628 --> 00:03:46,828 Speaker 1: oh my god, they're gonna be there every year. Guys, 73 00:03:46,828 --> 00:03:48,748 Speaker 1: that doesn't work out that way. And it's not personal 74 00:03:48,788 --> 00:03:51,068 Speaker 1: about the Bengals. I love everything they have going on. 75 00:03:51,468 --> 00:03:55,028 Speaker 1: How could you not They will struggle this year, maybe early, 76 00:03:55,148 --> 00:03:58,388 Speaker 1: maybe in middle time, maybe late. Every team does. It's 77 00:03:58,388 --> 00:04:00,908 Speaker 1: been the last nine out of ten losing Super Bowl teams. 78 00:04:00,908 --> 00:04:03,268 Speaker 1: The offense is not as good the following year. I 79 00:04:03,268 --> 00:04:05,148 Speaker 1: don't think there's will either. That guy that's gonna have 80 00:04:05,188 --> 00:04:07,468 Speaker 1: twelve defenders on him every single play. I just think 81 00:04:07,468 --> 00:04:09,588 Speaker 1: it's fair. It's like, you know, sometimes you have this 82 00:04:09,828 --> 00:04:13,748 Speaker 1: sensational album that just blows a band up. The next 83 00:04:13,748 --> 00:04:16,308 Speaker 1: album always is a step back, like the one after 84 00:04:16,388 --> 00:04:19,548 Speaker 1: Nirvana never Mind and you wrote was fine. Bush's second 85 00:04:19,548 --> 00:04:23,588 Speaker 1: album sucked like Candleboxes second album sucked. That was their 86 00:04:23,628 --> 00:04:26,308 Speaker 1: bok I go back. It was the Rage Against Machine 87 00:04:26,308 --> 00:04:28,908 Speaker 1: was great, Evil Empire. They did it. That's the exception 88 00:04:28,988 --> 00:04:30,668 Speaker 1: and Jamie, that's a great pull. I saw them in 89 00:04:30,708 --> 00:04:32,988 Speaker 1: the garden last week. Maybe they will have the Evil 90 00:04:32,988 --> 00:04:35,068 Speaker 1: Empire album, but I still think it could be a 91 00:04:35,068 --> 00:04:37,348 Speaker 1: little bit of Razor Blade Suitcase by Bush, which was 92 00:04:37,348 --> 00:04:39,668 Speaker 1: a huge step back. I like the bank Bro sort 93 00:04:39,708 --> 00:04:42,668 Speaker 1: of looks like the kid on the album for Rage 94 00:04:42,668 --> 00:04:46,348 Speaker 1: Against Machine right with the cape, like that might be yes. 95 00:04:50,668 --> 00:04:52,908 Speaker 1: I feel like the noise has been a little bit 96 00:04:52,948 --> 00:04:55,188 Speaker 1: louder for this Bengals team because they were it was 97 00:04:55,188 --> 00:04:58,068 Speaker 1: such an unforeseen circumstances to see them, so it was 98 00:04:58,068 --> 00:05:00,588 Speaker 1: like the America fell in love with them essentially at 99 00:05:00,588 --> 00:05:03,468 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Then they lost that game and now 100 00:05:03,588 --> 00:05:06,428 Speaker 1: everyone's on on board. They're like, no, we just got 101 00:05:06,428 --> 00:05:08,028 Speaker 1: on board. We want them to go all the way back. 102 00:05:08,068 --> 00:05:10,428 Speaker 1: So unlike other teams, maybe that we would have expected 103 00:05:10,428 --> 00:05:11,948 Speaker 1: for them to be in the Super Bowl. I just 104 00:05:11,988 --> 00:05:14,788 Speaker 1: feel like this particular offseason for the Bengals, the volume 105 00:05:14,828 --> 00:05:16,708 Speaker 1: has been quite louder than that for sure. And for 106 00:05:16,748 --> 00:05:18,708 Speaker 1: the top offense in the league. They haven't been to 107 00:05:18,748 --> 00:05:21,268 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in the Buffalo Bills, so I think 108 00:05:21,308 --> 00:05:23,788 Speaker 1: they they may be the ones getting back. And for me, 109 00:05:24,348 --> 00:05:27,548 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is that good while they'll be the best 110 00:05:27,588 --> 00:05:30,228 Speaker 1: offense in football. And then I mean Gabe Davis. We 111 00:05:30,308 --> 00:05:33,788 Speaker 1: watched him in that playoff game last year, two hundred yards, 112 00:05:34,148 --> 00:05:36,868 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, and he was the big receiver. They've been 113 00:05:36,868 --> 00:05:39,028 Speaker 1: playing well all year, but more of a red zone target. 114 00:05:39,068 --> 00:05:42,028 Speaker 1: They had Emmanuel Sanders, they had Cole Beasley, they had 115 00:05:42,068 --> 00:05:44,788 Speaker 1: other guys that were taking targets away from him. But 116 00:05:44,908 --> 00:05:47,988 Speaker 1: the way he ended the last football game he played 117 00:05:47,988 --> 00:05:50,868 Speaker 1: in last season, you better believe he's gonna be one 118 00:05:50,868 --> 00:05:54,788 Speaker 1: of Josh Allen's main targets this season. And then Isaiah McKenzie. 119 00:05:54,868 --> 00:05:57,628 Speaker 1: All the talking training camp has been Hey, they signed 120 00:05:57,668 --> 00:06:00,948 Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder to be the slot taken over for Cole Beasley, 121 00:06:01,188 --> 00:06:03,988 Speaker 1: but Isaiah McKenzie has been the guy. He only played 122 00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:05,588 Speaker 1: in one game last year, where you have more than 123 00:06:05,628 --> 00:06:07,988 Speaker 1: three targets. That was against the New England Patriots. He 124 00:06:08,068 --> 00:06:10,948 Speaker 1: had twelve targets, eleven catches, one hundred and twenty five 125 00:06:11,028 --> 00:06:13,588 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. So I'm excited to see what 126 00:06:13,588 --> 00:06:16,588 Speaker 1: this guy's gonna do with more targets. And then they 127 00:06:16,668 --> 00:06:19,348 Speaker 1: drafted a guy, James Cook, a running back who can 128 00:06:19,388 --> 00:06:22,468 Speaker 1: catch the ball out of the backfield. Explosive. And yes, 129 00:06:22,508 --> 00:06:24,748 Speaker 1: I know this team is not going to be a 130 00:06:24,868 --> 00:06:26,948 Speaker 1: running offense and not going to hand the ball off 131 00:06:27,148 --> 00:06:29,628 Speaker 1: every single player. They're gonna keep the ball and Josh 132 00:06:29,668 --> 00:06:31,828 Speaker 1: Allen's hands. But when he checks it down, when he 133 00:06:31,868 --> 00:06:34,868 Speaker 1: hands the ball off to James Cook, watch out. This 134 00:06:34,868 --> 00:06:37,588 Speaker 1: guy is explosive. And I've just talked about three guys 135 00:06:37,588 --> 00:06:40,148 Speaker 1: on the offense and haven't even mentioned Stefan Dixon, and 136 00:06:40,188 --> 00:06:43,828 Speaker 1: that just goes exactly. It's a man you, like Kyle said, 137 00:06:44,028 --> 00:06:46,308 Speaker 1: and it can select any of those guys, and Josh 138 00:06:46,308 --> 00:06:48,828 Speaker 1: Allen is the one ordering up. So I'm excited. I'm 139 00:06:48,828 --> 00:06:50,508 Speaker 1: gonna push back on you here. That's go I want 140 00:06:50,508 --> 00:06:52,188 Speaker 1: to know as a player, And this tell me how 141 00:06:52,228 --> 00:06:54,148 Speaker 1: much a VIC deal this is. So they come back 142 00:06:54,188 --> 00:06:57,468 Speaker 1: with everybody and Brian Callahan the offensive coordinator who draws 143 00:06:57,508 --> 00:06:59,868 Speaker 1: it all up. He's back, and Zach Taylor's an offensive coach. 144 00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:04,988 Speaker 1: Brian day Ball Gone is considered really the mice behind 145 00:07:05,028 --> 00:07:07,148 Speaker 1: that Bill's offense, which was surging at the right times 146 00:07:07,228 --> 00:07:09,908 Speaker 1: last season. How big of a deal that Ken Dorsey 147 00:07:10,108 --> 00:07:14,268 Speaker 1: is now the offensive coordinator and Joe Brady's the quarterbacks 148 00:07:14,268 --> 00:07:16,068 Speaker 1: coach is opposed to what they had last year, which 149 00:07:16,108 --> 00:07:18,708 Speaker 1: was Dable and Dorsey. The one thing I heard Josh 150 00:07:18,708 --> 00:07:20,908 Speaker 1: Allen talk about in training camp was the fact that 151 00:07:20,988 --> 00:07:23,908 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks coach, he's in the room with them every 152 00:07:24,028 --> 00:07:27,228 Speaker 1: single day, beyond just exits and olds. He talked about 153 00:07:27,228 --> 00:07:29,828 Speaker 1: it in an interview during camp. He said, we're sharing 154 00:07:29,908 --> 00:07:31,948 Speaker 1: life stories, We're getting to know each other. He's been 155 00:07:31,988 --> 00:07:35,028 Speaker 1: in that room with Josh Allen the past three seasons. 156 00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:36,668 Speaker 1: So yes, if they would have went out and got 157 00:07:36,708 --> 00:07:38,988 Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator has to learn the system and 158 00:07:39,068 --> 00:07:41,068 Speaker 1: all of that, it's a little bit different. But Ken 159 00:07:41,068 --> 00:07:43,988 Speaker 1: Dorsey's been in house. Not only is he learning Dable 160 00:07:44,068 --> 00:07:46,348 Speaker 1: system a part of Dable system, but he's getting a 161 00:07:46,428 --> 00:07:48,708 Speaker 1: chance to hear what Josh Allen likes and what he 162 00:07:48,788 --> 00:07:51,388 Speaker 1: doesn't like. And now he can tailor that offense more 163 00:07:51,628 --> 00:07:53,988 Speaker 1: to what Josh Allen is used to the things he likes, 164 00:07:54,108 --> 00:07:55,908 Speaker 1: and figure out a way to continue to use him 165 00:07:55,948 --> 00:07:58,388 Speaker 1: not only passing a ball, but also with his legs. 166 00:07:58,428 --> 00:08:00,948 Speaker 1: And remember Joe Brady, some would say, was the mastermind 167 00:08:00,948 --> 00:08:03,308 Speaker 1: behind that twenty nineteen LSU team that caught Joe Burrow 168 00:08:03,348 --> 00:08:07,548 Speaker 1: to the level to win that so symmetric and yet no, 169 00:08:07,828 --> 00:08:10,028 Speaker 1: I know, I haven't yet. Where are we zigging? Where 170 00:08:10,068 --> 00:08:11,668 Speaker 1: are we zagging? Take us there and go on a 171 00:08:11,668 --> 00:08:15,988 Speaker 1: little oh, a little little nook, a little back. I'm 172 00:08:16,028 --> 00:08:19,748 Speaker 1: forgetting about mister Mahomes. I know they lost Tyreek Hill, 173 00:08:19,868 --> 00:08:23,028 Speaker 1: but gosh, I look at that offense and I think 174 00:08:23,068 --> 00:08:26,028 Speaker 1: they I don't know. This seems like an offseason segment, 175 00:08:26,068 --> 00:08:28,828 Speaker 1: but they might be better than they are they were 176 00:08:28,908 --> 00:08:31,668 Speaker 1: last year with Tyreek. The more we're hearing things out 177 00:08:31,668 --> 00:08:34,588 Speaker 1: of training camp and the more players that are stepping 178 00:08:34,668 --> 00:08:36,628 Speaker 1: up in big spots, like when you look at this 179 00:08:36,708 --> 00:08:40,548 Speaker 1: depth chart, it is they feel like they just want 180 00:08:40,588 --> 00:08:44,108 Speaker 1: to games. You pick who you want out of this, 181 00:08:44,308 --> 00:08:47,468 Speaker 1: and you know, Justin Watson is the second last name. 182 00:08:47,508 --> 00:08:49,388 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a valuable part of 183 00:08:49,388 --> 00:08:53,908 Speaker 1: this offense. Uh Sky Moore has looked incredible. Isaiah Pachico 184 00:08:53,948 --> 00:08:57,148 Speaker 1: wearing number ten Tyreek's old number is seemingly gon And 185 00:08:57,188 --> 00:09:00,388 Speaker 1: that's not including Travis Kelcey Peter. That's the diner menu 186 00:09:00,988 --> 00:09:05,028 Speaker 1: is very single thing. Yes, there it is. Although they 187 00:09:05,028 --> 00:09:07,988 Speaker 1: did lose their signature dish. They did, and that's the thing. 188 00:09:07,988 --> 00:09:09,708 Speaker 1: And it's like, how they're gonna step up and how 189 00:09:09,708 --> 00:09:11,948 Speaker 1: are they going to change? And I look at the 190 00:09:11,948 --> 00:09:14,788 Speaker 1: coaching staff. The loss of Mike Kafka, I think is important. 191 00:09:14,828 --> 00:09:17,108 Speaker 1: He goes to the New York Giants, but the enemy 192 00:09:17,228 --> 00:09:19,428 Speaker 1: is still there. And now they bring back Matt Naggi, 193 00:09:19,548 --> 00:09:21,348 Speaker 1: who was there when they built this whole thing from 194 00:09:21,348 --> 00:09:24,868 Speaker 1: the ground. I still feel like Kansas City don't write 195 00:09:24,908 --> 00:09:27,388 Speaker 1: their obituary yet, Like I feel like that offense still 196 00:09:27,388 --> 00:09:29,868 Speaker 1: has something to give. And Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. 197 00:09:30,388 --> 00:09:32,668 Speaker 1: You see one of those receivers going for a thousand 198 00:09:32,748 --> 00:09:36,228 Speaker 1: yards maybe not maybe you know, ju Juju is doing 199 00:09:36,268 --> 00:09:38,748 Speaker 1: things and I'm hearing in practice that are special. But 200 00:09:38,788 --> 00:09:41,148 Speaker 1: also in that preseason debut, Juju is using a lot 201 00:09:41,148 --> 00:09:44,028 Speaker 1: of different ways and was out there like maybe it's Juju. 202 00:09:44,308 --> 00:09:46,588 Speaker 1: I think he's the number one, But there's so many 203 00:09:46,668 --> 00:09:48,068 Speaker 1: names that how do you defend all that? And I 204 00:09:48,108 --> 00:09:50,468 Speaker 1: think with the kind of quarterback Patrick Mahomes's doesn't have 205 00:09:50,508 --> 00:09:52,308 Speaker 1: to be just one guy all the time, Like the 206 00:09:52,348 --> 00:09:54,388 Speaker 1: way he can throw the ball around, put it in 207 00:09:54,428 --> 00:09:56,628 Speaker 1: places we don't think you saw it coming in the 208 00:09:56,628 --> 00:09:59,188 Speaker 1: first place. The original question was, so the Bengals are 209 00:09:59,188 --> 00:10:01,668 Speaker 1: going to be the best offense in the AFC. We 210 00:10:01,828 --> 00:10:05,228 Speaker 1: essentially have admitted that we don't think so, teeing up 211 00:10:05,228 --> 00:10:07,868 Speaker 1: other teams. I'll see a third one up here with 212 00:10:07,908 --> 00:10:12,988 Speaker 1: the Chargers, another team that didn't lose anybody. Their offensive 213 00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:15,068 Speaker 1: side of the ball has remained the same. They finished 214 00:10:15,068 --> 00:10:18,148 Speaker 1: in the top five in a litany of categories last season, 215 00:10:18,948 --> 00:10:21,468 Speaker 1: with the highest one being in that passing yards per game. 216 00:10:21,508 --> 00:10:23,388 Speaker 1: So let's put the ball in justin Herbert's hand and 217 00:10:23,428 --> 00:10:25,348 Speaker 1: get the job done. They made an addition on the 218 00:10:25,388 --> 00:10:28,188 Speaker 1: offensive line with the first round pick in Zion Johnson, 219 00:10:28,468 --> 00:10:30,788 Speaker 1: and let's talk about quarterbacks coming into their third year 220 00:10:30,828 --> 00:10:33,708 Speaker 1: and the maturity step that they all take. Brandon Staley 221 00:10:33,788 --> 00:10:35,588 Speaker 1: is coming into his own in terms of defending his 222 00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:38,228 Speaker 1: decision making. If an offensive knows you're going to be 223 00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,668 Speaker 1: aggressive on fourth down, I think the quarterback and all 224 00:10:40,708 --> 00:10:43,908 Speaker 1: the way down the list, handles drives a different way 225 00:10:43,948 --> 00:10:45,908 Speaker 1: if you know your coach is going to be making 226 00:10:45,908 --> 00:10:48,188 Speaker 1: decisions a certain way within this offense. I think the 227 00:10:48,228 --> 00:10:51,028 Speaker 1: Chargers are ripe to be an explosive offense this season 228 00:10:51,028 --> 00:10:53,188 Speaker 1: compared to the Bengals. I can't wait to watch Staley 229 00:10:53,228 --> 00:10:54,668 Speaker 1: this year. I feel like he still hasn't made his 230 00:10:54,708 --> 00:10:56,908 Speaker 1: signature call of his career. They're gonna have fourth and 231 00:10:56,908 --> 00:10:58,348 Speaker 1: twelve from their own five. He's gonna go for it 232 00:10:58,388 --> 00:10:59,988 Speaker 1: at some point. He just can't help it. Yeah style, 233 00:10:59,988 --> 00:11:01,268 Speaker 1: and I don't think he's going to pull and I 234 00:11:01,268 --> 00:11:03,588 Speaker 1: love it. He could just blame the numbers, Glad said 235 00:11:03,628 --> 00:11:05,708 Speaker 1: his thing. The Charger is one of those teams where, 236 00:11:05,748 --> 00:11:07,828 Speaker 1: if I'm drafting a fantasy team, Herbert might be my 237 00:11:07,868 --> 00:11:10,708 Speaker 1: first quarterback, Eckler might be my first running back. Mike 238 00:11:10,748 --> 00:11:13,628 Speaker 1: Williams and Keenan Allen are getting drafted, and yet I 239 00:11:13,628 --> 00:11:16,628 Speaker 1: can't like say okay, because the proof of concept isn't there. 240 00:11:16,668 --> 00:11:20,108 Speaker 1: And yet that last drive when Stanley has Herbert out 241 00:11:20,148 --> 00:11:23,228 Speaker 1: there of that Raiders game and he's completing seventeen passes, 242 00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:26,388 Speaker 1: and it's just it's like okay, yeah, and Jamie, You're right, 243 00:11:26,468 --> 00:11:28,108 Speaker 1: it might be them, and we might be sitting here 244 00:11:28,148 --> 00:11:29,988 Speaker 1: in August and no one's talking about the Chargers as 245 00:11:29,988 --> 00:11:31,868 Speaker 1: like a Super Bowl contender or Super winner, like they 246 00:11:31,868 --> 00:11:37,788 Speaker 1: could blow the League of Buyer right now. Totally totally okay, 247 00:11:37,828 --> 00:11:40,188 Speaker 1: talk to believe Luck. I don't know, I don't I 248 00:11:40,228 --> 00:11:42,068 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know what how Blank, I'm trying 249 00:11:42,108 --> 00:11:45,828 Speaker 1: to save you there. Hey, we have a massive guest, 250 00:11:46,108 --> 00:11:49,268 Speaker 1: a massive guest coming up later this hour, Buffalo Bill's 251 00:11:49,268 --> 00:11:51,948 Speaker 1: head coach, Sean McDermott. We know his players listening to him. 252 00:11:51,988 --> 00:11:53,908 Speaker 1: They're gonna he's gonna be on our show. We've got 253 00:11:53,908 --> 00:11:55,668 Speaker 1: so much talk to him about ahead of their game 254 00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:58,588 Speaker 1: on Saturday against the Broncos, which you can see right 255 00:11:58,588 --> 00:12:01,508 Speaker 1: here on NFL Network. That fires me up. That's so 256 00:12:01,548 --> 00:12:03,708 Speaker 1: great that Sean mcdermot's going to join us. Um the 257 00:12:03,708 --> 00:12:07,108 Speaker 1: off season high around this team, though it's been sky high, 258 00:12:07,188 --> 00:12:09,908 Speaker 1: and when the season predictions start rolling in, we're gonna 259 00:12:09,908 --> 00:12:11,788 Speaker 1: make ours in a couple of weeks. Jason and I 260 00:12:11,788 --> 00:12:14,628 Speaker 1: have been prepped on those decisions that we will live 261 00:12:14,668 --> 00:12:16,708 Speaker 1: and in. For me, I guess you're gonna see a 262 00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:19,988 Speaker 1: lot of the Bills to the Super Bowl, takes their quarterback, 263 00:12:20,148 --> 00:12:25,108 Speaker 1: being named MVP, which means expectation Capital E surrounds the 264 00:12:25,108 --> 00:12:27,668 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. So, of all the players in the league 265 00:12:27,748 --> 00:12:30,428 Speaker 1: right now, is Josh Allen the guy with the highest 266 00:12:30,548 --> 00:12:34,348 Speaker 1: expectations on his shoulders for the twenty twenty two seasons? Yes, 267 00:12:34,428 --> 00:12:36,068 Speaker 1: I believe so. I mean, if you're a betting man, 268 00:12:36,148 --> 00:12:39,268 Speaker 1: I'm not at no, I said, I believe so. Yes, 269 00:12:39,508 --> 00:12:43,348 Speaker 1: he has the highest expectations. If you're a betting man, 270 00:12:43,868 --> 00:12:47,028 Speaker 1: he is picked to be the MVP, and then he 271 00:12:47,068 --> 00:12:50,388 Speaker 1: plays for the Buffalo Bills. Bills mafia. They're jumping through tables. 272 00:12:50,628 --> 00:12:53,748 Speaker 1: D're insane. I was at Disney with my brother, both 273 00:12:53,788 --> 00:12:56,548 Speaker 1: of all our kids, wives and everybody. A bus pulls 274 00:12:56,628 --> 00:12:58,948 Speaker 1: up to the hotel. A bunch of people get off 275 00:12:58,948 --> 00:13:02,628 Speaker 1: the bus, all around. Buffalo Bills get at Disney. Grandma 276 00:13:02,668 --> 00:13:05,028 Speaker 1: gets off the bus, last looks right at me and 277 00:13:05,148 --> 00:13:08,028 Speaker 1: my brother. You guys are going down this year. We're 278 00:13:08,028 --> 00:13:11,348 Speaker 1: gonna take it. I'm on vacation my Disney. I just 279 00:13:11,388 --> 00:13:13,308 Speaker 1: want to ride ride. I don't want to think about 280 00:13:13,388 --> 00:13:15,628 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I don't want to think about the Buffalo Bills. 281 00:13:15,828 --> 00:13:18,588 Speaker 1: But this guy. I mean the Laiter season ended last year. 282 00:13:18,668 --> 00:13:20,908 Speaker 1: How much we've all talked about how good of a 283 00:13:20,988 --> 00:13:23,548 Speaker 1: player is, the next step and just his trajectory, how 284 00:13:23,588 --> 00:13:26,068 Speaker 1: he's been since he's came into the league. I can't 285 00:13:26,068 --> 00:13:27,828 Speaker 1: find a player I tried to. I can't find a 286 00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:30,908 Speaker 1: player that has higher expectations than he has and what 287 00:13:31,028 --> 00:13:33,348 Speaker 1: they have for this team this year, They're expected to 288 00:13:33,388 --> 00:13:35,708 Speaker 1: go and win the Super Bowl and that falls on 289 00:13:35,828 --> 00:13:38,628 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's shoulder. So, yes, he has the biggest expectations 290 00:13:38,628 --> 00:13:41,108 Speaker 1: of any player in the league this season. Yeah, he's 291 00:13:41,148 --> 00:13:45,228 Speaker 1: on space Mountain. Yeah, I mean, just soaring. I look 292 00:13:45,268 --> 00:13:48,468 Speaker 1: back to the year nineteen eighty six and a very young, 293 00:13:48,588 --> 00:13:51,668 Speaker 1: scrappy Doug Collins Bulls team went to the Boston Garden 294 00:13:52,188 --> 00:13:55,308 Speaker 1: and this number twenty three from North Carolina had sixty 295 00:13:55,348 --> 00:13:59,708 Speaker 1: three points against the Celtics and afterwards, Larry Birds this 296 00:13:59,788 --> 00:14:02,788 Speaker 1: wasn't Michael Jordan, you know, that was Jesus, And everyone 297 00:14:02,828 --> 00:14:06,508 Speaker 1: loses their mind. They this game, they got swept in 298 00:14:06,548 --> 00:14:10,828 Speaker 1: the series, the Bills lost to the Chiefs, but that 299 00:14:10,908 --> 00:14:13,828 Speaker 1: game was Josh Allen's sixty three point game. The next season, 300 00:14:13,908 --> 00:14:17,268 Speaker 1: Jordan came out on average thirty seven a game thirty seven. 301 00:14:17,308 --> 00:14:20,708 Speaker 1: It was a ridiculous Season's this is that season now 302 00:14:20,788 --> 00:14:23,268 Speaker 1: for Josh Allen because it's not just that they lost. 303 00:14:23,348 --> 00:14:26,428 Speaker 1: It's this sort of poetic, very dramatic way that he 304 00:14:26,548 --> 00:14:29,108 Speaker 1: sat there and watched them lose and could do nothing 305 00:14:29,188 --> 00:14:32,308 Speaker 1: about it that made such an impact that everyone's psychologically. 306 00:14:32,308 --> 00:14:35,548 Speaker 1: They changed the rules of the league because Josh Allen lost. 307 00:14:35,548 --> 00:14:38,388 Speaker 1: They actually changed it. And as far as expectation this year, 308 00:14:38,428 --> 00:14:42,388 Speaker 1: it's like if the Bills go ten and seven, it's 309 00:14:42,428 --> 00:14:45,108 Speaker 1: like the sky is falling. If they lose the opener 310 00:14:45,148 --> 00:14:47,868 Speaker 1: to the Rams, which they'll probably be underdogs for, this 311 00:14:48,068 --> 00:14:50,588 Speaker 1: guy is falling. If he throws two touchdowns and a 312 00:14:50,668 --> 00:14:53,388 Speaker 1: pick one weekend, oh my god, what's wrong with Josh Allen? 313 00:14:53,548 --> 00:14:56,988 Speaker 1: It's incredible because I mean, and that guy was he 314 00:14:57,068 --> 00:14:58,628 Speaker 1: played the game of his life and couldn't get on 315 00:14:58,668 --> 00:15:00,108 Speaker 1: the field at the end. What I think is interesting 316 00:15:00,148 --> 00:15:02,068 Speaker 1: to take away from that game is is like Mahomes 317 00:15:02,068 --> 00:15:04,228 Speaker 1: has never talked about in that game and like he 318 00:15:04,428 --> 00:15:07,188 Speaker 1: made a miracle and went thirteen seconds and it's all 319 00:15:07,308 --> 00:15:10,348 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Mahomes is like I won and I was incredible, 320 00:15:10,628 --> 00:15:14,548 Speaker 1: And that's because the Mahomes demigods status had already been granted. 321 00:15:14,548 --> 00:15:17,308 Speaker 1: We had already seen that from him. We were not surprised, 322 00:15:17,588 --> 00:15:19,628 Speaker 1: and we were a little bit surprised that Josh Allen 323 00:15:19,708 --> 00:15:22,268 Speaker 1: was that good. But like you can go across any 324 00:15:22,308 --> 00:15:25,308 Speaker 1: player in the league right now, any quarterback, your Trey 325 00:15:25,428 --> 00:15:27,708 Speaker 1: Lances or kyl and Murray's, and I think it is 326 00:15:27,788 --> 00:15:30,228 Speaker 1: here and the expectations for Josh Allen ap here anything 327 00:15:30,468 --> 00:15:34,228 Speaker 1: other than pure Paul Bunyan. Bo Jackson at quarterback feets 328 00:15:34,228 --> 00:15:36,028 Speaker 1: everything like what's wrong with Josh Allen and he'll have 329 00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:37,508 Speaker 1: to deal with that, But I think he's the answer. 330 00:15:37,548 --> 00:15:39,668 Speaker 1: This is similar to my sentiment about the Bengals. I 331 00:15:39,708 --> 00:15:42,628 Speaker 1: do agree that Josh Allen has the greatest expectation on 332 00:15:42,708 --> 00:15:44,908 Speaker 1: him coming into the season, but it's it's as if, 333 00:15:44,908 --> 00:15:46,948 Speaker 1: and you've said it, everyone kind of fell in love 334 00:15:46,988 --> 00:15:49,228 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen in that game, on that drive, the 335 00:15:49,268 --> 00:15:51,068 Speaker 1: fact that that game was taken from him and he 336 00:15:51,108 --> 00:15:54,388 Speaker 1: had no he had no way to take effect on 337 00:15:54,388 --> 00:15:56,708 Speaker 1: the end of that game. The America fell in love 338 00:15:56,748 --> 00:15:58,228 Speaker 1: with the Bengals in the Super Bowl, and now all 339 00:15:58,268 --> 00:16:00,748 Speaker 1: offseason we've been thinking that they are the team and 340 00:16:00,868 --> 00:16:02,748 Speaker 1: everybody wants them to be. It's kind of the same 341 00:16:03,388 --> 00:16:05,348 Speaker 1: same thing happened to Josh Allen in that game. They 342 00:16:05,388 --> 00:16:07,508 Speaker 1: felt so badly for him. So but like, let me 343 00:16:07,588 --> 00:16:10,868 Speaker 1: run this by the situation because I can play this 344 00:16:10,908 --> 00:16:12,988 Speaker 1: out because you guys already won the Emmy. Like let's 345 00:16:12,988 --> 00:16:15,748 Speaker 1: say this summer. Yeah, you go to the Emmy's, you 346 00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:17,828 Speaker 1: don't win, you don't win the Emmy, then you got 347 00:16:17,828 --> 00:16:20,108 Speaker 1: to go to lunch with Tony Kornheiser and you're like 348 00:16:20,108 --> 00:16:23,148 Speaker 1: you just got to sit there and play golf, play 349 00:16:23,148 --> 00:16:25,428 Speaker 1: around a golf with him, and then sitting yuck it 350 00:16:25,508 --> 00:16:28,228 Speaker 1: up over lunch. Like this is what Josh Allen had 351 00:16:28,268 --> 00:16:30,348 Speaker 1: to deal with all offense, And like, so what if 352 00:16:30,348 --> 00:16:32,388 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes Wilson talked about he had to just like 353 00:16:32,788 --> 00:16:34,988 Speaker 1: play nice and he had to hear it and take it, 354 00:16:35,148 --> 00:16:38,028 Speaker 1: answer the question and like if the expectation is high, 355 00:16:38,148 --> 00:16:42,268 Speaker 1: but if his pissed offedness is inspired offness, it's a word. 356 00:16:42,308 --> 00:16:44,348 Speaker 1: We made it a word. If it's not off the 357 00:16:44,468 --> 00:16:47,108 Speaker 1: charts above the expectation, then Josh Allen is not the 358 00:16:47,188 --> 00:16:48,948 Speaker 1: quarterback I thought he was. It's it's a great, great, 359 00:16:49,108 --> 00:16:51,428 Speaker 1: it's great, it's excellent. He's playing that golf tournament with 360 00:16:51,508 --> 00:16:53,748 Speaker 1: Rogers and Brady and Mahomes and they're all made men 361 00:16:53,788 --> 00:16:56,988 Speaker 1: and they're busted his chops like it has to yes 362 00:16:57,388 --> 00:16:58,668 Speaker 1: to eat at him. I want to see you and 363 00:16:58,748 --> 00:17:07,468 Speaker 1: Kornheiser out at lunch. What do you I'm even talking eating? 364 00:17:07,948 --> 00:17:09,988 Speaker 1: I just want to hear the conversation. That's it. We 365 00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:12,268 Speaker 1: would we'd go, We'd go way back. We talk Joe 366 00:17:12,308 --> 00:17:15,948 Speaker 1: Cap and cal football. I'm gonna I'm gonna go a different, 367 00:17:16,068 --> 00:17:18,628 Speaker 1: different route here though, because as much expectationer as on 368 00:17:18,708 --> 00:17:21,348 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and as much as like, if the Chargers 369 00:17:21,348 --> 00:17:22,908 Speaker 1: missed the playoffs again, what are we doing with this? 370 00:17:23,028 --> 00:17:26,388 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert canonization, also like there are seven teams in 371 00:17:26,468 --> 00:17:29,708 Speaker 1: the conference to get to make the playoffs. Josh Allen's 372 00:17:29,708 --> 00:17:31,428 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs. He already has gone to the playoffs. 373 00:17:31,428 --> 00:17:33,788 Speaker 1: Go to the playoffs every year. Yeah, this guy hasn't 374 00:17:33,828 --> 00:17:35,828 Speaker 1: sniffy yet. I know he came close last year, but 375 00:17:35,868 --> 00:17:37,948 Speaker 1: he hasn't played the playoff game. It's okay for year 376 00:17:38,028 --> 00:17:40,988 Speaker 1: one fire the coach, Anthony lens Out. It's okay for 377 00:17:41,068 --> 00:17:44,628 Speaker 1: your two first year coach. We're not sure year three 378 00:17:44,828 --> 00:17:47,068 Speaker 1: if we're treating you like you're the same breath as 379 00:17:47,188 --> 00:17:50,068 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Brady and and you're in that top five 380 00:17:50,148 --> 00:17:53,388 Speaker 1: quarterback situation, which which you are right now with Josh 381 00:17:53,388 --> 00:17:56,788 Speaker 1: Allen and Aaron Rodgers, like you better go to the 382 00:17:56,788 --> 00:17:59,508 Speaker 1: playoffs this year. This team can't be bad this year. 383 00:18:00,148 --> 00:18:02,348 Speaker 1: So much hype and so much has been granted to 384 00:18:02,468 --> 00:18:05,148 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. We have already put the crown on him. 385 00:18:05,148 --> 00:18:07,468 Speaker 1: It's almost a given that he is in that conversation. 386 00:18:08,308 --> 00:18:12,108 Speaker 1: And yet for whatever reason, those big moments, the Chargers 387 00:18:12,268 --> 00:18:14,748 Speaker 1: are not winning those games. Now to Josh Allen point, 388 00:18:15,268 --> 00:18:17,628 Speaker 1: he played amazing in that final playoff game and that 389 00:18:17,668 --> 00:18:19,748 Speaker 1: final regular season game against the Raiders. Like I said, 390 00:18:19,948 --> 00:18:22,668 Speaker 1: seventeen pass attempts in the end of regulation gets them 391 00:18:22,708 --> 00:18:25,988 Speaker 1: into overtime. He did everything he possibly could. Yet you 392 00:18:26,028 --> 00:18:29,948 Speaker 1: talk about expectations. If this Chargers franchise misses the playoffs 393 00:18:30,028 --> 00:18:32,628 Speaker 1: yet again, I think it's one of the greatest disappointments 394 00:18:32,628 --> 00:18:34,108 Speaker 1: and one of the wests of the first three years 395 00:18:34,108 --> 00:18:36,708 Speaker 1: of a Stark Movorbacks curae. I ask you this Chargers 396 00:18:36,908 --> 00:18:39,668 Speaker 1: ten and seven. They lose in the wildcard round to 397 00:18:39,708 --> 00:18:42,748 Speaker 1: Baltimore Mine at least go, oh yeah, we got the 398 00:18:42,748 --> 00:18:44,548 Speaker 1: top five quarter. We got there. The rub on them 399 00:18:44,628 --> 00:18:47,308 Speaker 1: is that they cannot get there, that they cannot that 400 00:18:47,428 --> 00:18:50,308 Speaker 1: we grant them this like this emeritus status, that they're 401 00:18:50,308 --> 00:18:51,988 Speaker 1: one of the best teams with the best quarter, yet 402 00:18:52,068 --> 00:18:54,548 Speaker 1: every year they don't even get to the dance. There 403 00:18:54,548 --> 00:18:56,868 Speaker 1: are seven AFC teams in the playoffs. If you can't 404 00:18:56,908 --> 00:18:59,588 Speaker 1: be one of them, that is really really upsetting. I 405 00:18:59,588 --> 00:19:02,908 Speaker 1: actually think this question brings up an interesting dissection between 406 00:19:03,188 --> 00:19:08,308 Speaker 1: the words expectation and potential, because expectation implies that we 407 00:19:08,428 --> 00:19:11,908 Speaker 1: saw something, we saw flashes of what not just flashes. 408 00:19:11,948 --> 00:19:14,028 Speaker 1: We saw what the Bills and Josh Allen could accomplish 409 00:19:14,068 --> 00:19:17,108 Speaker 1: last season. They put themselves on that stage. The potential 410 00:19:17,188 --> 00:19:19,668 Speaker 1: for the Chargers team is just that it's just potential 411 00:19:19,668 --> 00:19:21,788 Speaker 1: at this point because we haven't seen them at that 412 00:19:21,908 --> 00:19:23,988 Speaker 1: level at that stage yet. But I feel like there's 413 00:19:23,988 --> 00:19:26,668 Speaker 1: a difference there the expectation. I feel like it's greater 414 00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:29,028 Speaker 1: for the Bills only because we've seen what they could 415 00:19:29,028 --> 00:19:30,588 Speaker 1: do in the playoffs and the fact that they've made 416 00:19:30,588 --> 00:19:33,388 Speaker 1: it there. I think you're right, and I think back 417 00:19:33,388 --> 00:19:35,188 Speaker 1: to your first point, they got to deal with this 418 00:19:35,268 --> 00:19:37,228 Speaker 1: Kansas City thing. Yeah, look, they beat them last year 419 00:19:37,228 --> 00:19:40,428 Speaker 1: in the direction, that's fine. But last offseason, before the season, 420 00:19:40,548 --> 00:19:42,588 Speaker 1: when they had lost in the title game to Kansas City, 421 00:19:42,868 --> 00:19:45,308 Speaker 1: Josh Allen said he thought thought about it every day, 422 00:19:45,308 --> 00:19:47,508 Speaker 1: every single day. I think about that loss. Then he 423 00:19:47,588 --> 00:19:49,508 Speaker 1: play another season and you lose in that way in 424 00:19:49,628 --> 00:19:52,308 Speaker 1: Kansas City, and if they lose to them this year, 425 00:19:52,388 --> 00:19:54,228 Speaker 1: and like the Tyreek thing, because they wouldn't have lost 426 00:19:54,228 --> 00:19:56,108 Speaker 1: the game last year without Tyreek, if they do it again, 427 00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:57,708 Speaker 1: you have to handle that. It's just what sports are 428 00:19:57,788 --> 00:19:59,828 Speaker 1: You gotta knock the guy out. It's a big We 429 00:19:59,828 --> 00:20:01,908 Speaker 1: talked about those four who are in that golf forsom. 430 00:20:02,108 --> 00:20:04,148 Speaker 1: You can add in Joe Burrow as in the conversation 431 00:20:04,148 --> 00:20:05,948 Speaker 1: as being one of those top guys, and Russell Wilson 432 00:20:05,988 --> 00:20:08,228 Speaker 1: and all these guys that have won the games. I 433 00:20:08,308 --> 00:20:10,348 Speaker 1: go back to Justin Herbert because I don't want to 434 00:20:10,388 --> 00:20:12,988 Speaker 1: hear your name in that best quarterback conversation until you've 435 00:20:12,988 --> 00:20:16,388 Speaker 1: shown something. And that's that's that point in that division. 436 00:20:16,428 --> 00:20:19,788 Speaker 1: We've talked about Kansas City being number four, we've placed 437 00:20:20,268 --> 00:20:22,428 Speaker 1: The only reason we're doing that is because we've all 438 00:20:22,548 --> 00:20:25,988 Speaker 1: uplifted the charges when you talk about expectations, people are 439 00:20:25,988 --> 00:20:27,908 Speaker 1: saying could this team make it to the super Bowl? 440 00:20:28,068 --> 00:20:30,028 Speaker 1: Like we're not even saying like, hey, can they make 441 00:20:30,068 --> 00:20:32,308 Speaker 1: the playoffs? And when we talk about their division, like 442 00:20:32,348 --> 00:20:34,788 Speaker 1: you just said seven teams are going to the playoffs, 443 00:20:34,788 --> 00:20:37,428 Speaker 1: but we can go down that AFC list and probably 444 00:20:37,508 --> 00:20:40,228 Speaker 1: name seven teams without including the charges and feel really 445 00:20:40,268 --> 00:20:41,748 Speaker 1: good about Hell, I just said they were the best 446 00:20:41,748 --> 00:20:43,948 Speaker 1: offense in the FC. I don't know what was happening there. No, 447 00:20:44,028 --> 00:20:46,628 Speaker 1: I did I have my quarter and research behind that 448 00:20:47,708 --> 00:20:54,268 Speaker 1: pay anything. Well, they have to step that up, ladies 449 00:20:54,308 --> 00:20:56,668 Speaker 1: and gentlemen to have a big morning football welcome, as 450 00:20:56,668 --> 00:21:03,268 Speaker 1: we always do the Bills that coach Sean McDermott, it'd 451 00:21:03,268 --> 00:21:05,348 Speaker 1: be with you guys a score. You are also my 452 00:21:05,388 --> 00:21:09,988 Speaker 1: favorite show, so we got that in common. Yeah, Billboard, 453 00:21:10,348 --> 00:21:12,148 Speaker 1: all right, So where do we start with you, coach? 454 00:21:12,468 --> 00:21:16,628 Speaker 1: So many things going on, such excitement, such such buzz. 455 00:21:16,668 --> 00:21:19,108 Speaker 1: You have these great players and pass rushes and quarterbacks 456 00:21:19,108 --> 00:21:22,428 Speaker 1: and coaches. I think we'll start with a twenty two 457 00:21:22,508 --> 00:21:24,988 Speaker 1: year old rookie punter. Let's just get into it right now. 458 00:21:25,268 --> 00:21:29,388 Speaker 1: The hype around Matt Rise, the punch god, booming an 459 00:21:29,428 --> 00:21:32,548 Speaker 1: eighty two year arty two yard punt in a preseason game. 460 00:21:32,588 --> 00:21:34,948 Speaker 1: Tell us about this guy and what size was Hall 461 00:21:34,988 --> 00:21:38,908 Speaker 1: of Fame jacket B coach. You. Yeah, let's get out 462 00:21:38,948 --> 00:21:41,988 Speaker 1: in front of it right now, right, No, it's uh, 463 00:21:42,028 --> 00:21:44,788 Speaker 1: you know, I think he caught some people's eyes, got 464 00:21:44,828 --> 00:21:49,148 Speaker 1: some fans attention with that fun eighty two yards, fun 465 00:21:49,188 --> 00:21:51,708 Speaker 1: to watch. He's a young player, one of our many 466 00:21:51,748 --> 00:21:55,388 Speaker 1: young players that has made it impact at a early 467 00:21:55,428 --> 00:21:58,868 Speaker 1: part in his career so far, and we're excited every 468 00:21:58,868 --> 00:22:01,628 Speaker 1: time he punts the ball in terms of where it's 469 00:22:01,628 --> 00:22:04,588 Speaker 1: gonna go. And I know Josh Allen, our quarterback, is 470 00:22:04,988 --> 00:22:09,188 Speaker 1: a big fan and it seems mess rized by some 471 00:22:09,308 --> 00:22:12,908 Speaker 1: of what Aris has been able to do so far. Yeah, 472 00:22:12,908 --> 00:22:16,148 Speaker 1: without a doubt, young players stepping up making plays. The 473 00:22:16,148 --> 00:22:18,988 Speaker 1: other day, I highlighted two rookies for you on that 474 00:22:19,108 --> 00:22:22,588 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, cayear Elam and Christian Ben 475 00:22:22,668 --> 00:22:26,428 Speaker 1: For those guys were making plays on big time receivers. Well, 476 00:22:26,788 --> 00:22:29,468 Speaker 1: what was your biggest takeaway from their performance and their 477 00:22:29,468 --> 00:22:33,628 Speaker 1: first NFL action? Yeah, Jason, you know, I think the 478 00:22:33,668 --> 00:22:36,068 Speaker 1: biggest thing for them, as you knows, as you remember 479 00:22:36,108 --> 00:22:38,348 Speaker 1: as a younger player, is to get out there and 480 00:22:38,388 --> 00:22:42,188 Speaker 1: compete to where it's it's not too big, and it 481 00:22:42,228 --> 00:22:45,308 Speaker 1: wasn't too big for them. They held their own.

Um? Last week back to Josh Allen, he 570 00:27:24,068 --> 00:27:26,868 Speaker 1: said he's been told that he looks like quote the 571 00:27:26,988 --> 00:27:30,508 Speaker 1: Andy Dwyer version of Chris Pratt from Parks and Recreation. 572 00:27:30,668 --> 00:27:33,308 Speaker 1: That was his take, and it is a compelling side 573 00:27:33,308 --> 00:27:36,788 Speaker 1: by side that is really good. Do you agree, coach 574 00:27:36,948 --> 00:27:39,068 Speaker 1: or is may there may be a better comparison your 575 00:27:39,268 --> 00:27:42,828 Speaker 1: thoughts on your quarterbacks take? Yeah, but I would say 576 00:27:42,868 --> 00:27:45,188 Speaker 1: he's very you know, it's kind of like me looking 577 00:27:45,228 --> 00:27:50,748 Speaker 1: like Tom CRUI is very very similar. Um to do 578 00:27:50,788 --> 00:27:52,948 Speaker 1: anything you want on TV, So try and get that 579 00:27:53,868 --> 00:27:57,068 Speaker 1: when I'm all next time.

Okay, 807 00:39:16,628 --> 00:39:18,668 Speaker 1: So I feel like it's safe to ask questions like 808 00:39:18,668 --> 00:39:21,028 Speaker 1: this once you become further removed from a situation. So 809 00:39:21,108 --> 00:39:23,748 Speaker 1: let's go back to this super Bowl year talk man. Okay, 810 00:39:24,108 --> 00:39:27,388 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz goes down and like the improbable happens where 811 00:39:27,388 --> 00:39:30,388 Speaker 1: you're making this run. Was there ever a flash of 812 00:39:30,428 --> 00:39:33,188 Speaker 1: doubt in that season where like we are absolutely screwed? 813 00:39:33,228 --> 00:39:35,108 Speaker 1: What just happened to this team? We had it, we 814 00:39:35,148 --> 00:39:37,868 Speaker 1: had it made, And then like, did you were you 815 00:39:37,908 --> 00:39:40,308 Speaker 1: in disbelief, in in awe of what Nick Foles was 816 00:39:40,348 --> 00:39:43,428 Speaker 1: able to accomplish as much as America? Well, I personally 817 00:39:43,508 --> 00:39:45,308 Speaker 1: wasn't now because I know Nick and another kind of 818 00:39:45,308 --> 00:39:47,068 Speaker 1: guy he is, and he is truly like the best 819 00:39:47,068 --> 00:39:49,108 Speaker 1: guy ever, like a guy that you want, you know, 820 00:39:49,148 --> 00:39:51,948 Speaker 1: to lead your team to a super Bowl victory. But 821 00:39:52,148 --> 00:39:53,428 Speaker 1: I don't think we were ever. It's kind of one 822 00:39:53,428 --> 00:39:55,668 Speaker 1: of those things like during the season, crazy stuff happens 823 00:39:55,748 --> 00:39:57,388 Speaker 1: and you just started kind of like, oh, all right, 824 00:39:57,388 --> 00:39:59,228 Speaker 1: you just roll with the punches, you know. I mean, 825 00:39:59,628 --> 00:40:01,508 Speaker 1: you see laughing over there, Jay, you don't have talking 826 00:40:01,508 --> 00:40:03,908 Speaker 1: about it's so yeah, I mean, looking back on it, 827 00:40:03,988 --> 00:40:06,268 Speaker 1: maybe in the back of your head, you're a little 828 00:40:06,268 --> 00:40:08,988 Speaker 1: bit like oh right, but at the time you're like, okay, 829 00:40:09,028 --> 00:40:11,388 Speaker 1: like let's do this. Yeah, Nick was a perfect guy 830 00:40:11,428 --> 00:40:13,828 Speaker 1: for it. Yeah. I think about all these these guys 831 00:40:13,828 --> 00:40:15,748 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball from that egos scene, 832 00:40:15,748 --> 00:40:18,148 Speaker 1: whether it was Lane Johnson or Jason Kelsey or even 833 00:40:18,188 --> 00:40:20,388 Speaker 1: when like Ryan Jensen. You've got all those guys that 834 00:40:20,388 --> 00:40:22,348 Speaker 1: you used to playing against with Tampa, Like, ye, who 835 00:40:22,428 --> 00:40:25,628 Speaker 1: is that nasty guy that you would hate to face? Nasty? 836 00:40:27,308 --> 00:40:30,348 Speaker 1: We were in practice here, but like not in a 837 00:40:30,588 --> 00:40:35,028 Speaker 1: well he's a good guy, you know, But I think 838 00:40:35,188 --> 00:40:39,388 Speaker 1: like Richie, like Marshall Yonda, he like talk about tough 839 00:40:39,468 --> 00:40:43,468 Speaker 1: but not I yes, exactly. Like there's been so many guys. 840 00:40:43,468 --> 00:40:45,668 Speaker 1: And another guy that we played with in college is 841 00:40:45,708 --> 00:40:49,028 Speaker 1: Kevin Zeisler, who's like an unbelievable player. Yeah, big, big 842 00:40:49,108 --> 00:40:52,348 Speaker 1: zite um. There's a lot of so many tough guys 843 00:40:52,348 --> 00:40:54,908 Speaker 1: that you play against. And people asked me all the time, 844 00:40:54,948 --> 00:40:56,748 Speaker 1: like who's the toughest, Oh, I mean you played against Like, 845 00:40:56,788 --> 00:40:58,748 Speaker 1: I don't even know. It's a different answer every time 846 00:40:58,788 --> 00:41:01,188 Speaker 1: because sometimes you just match up, you know, or you 847 00:41:01,508 --> 00:41:03,388 Speaker 1: match up port with somebody, or they have a you know, 848 00:41:03,388 --> 00:41:05,148 Speaker 1: they just have a really good plan for you that day. 849 00:41:05,188 --> 00:41:07,348 Speaker 1: So I don't know, there's been a lot. Man sure 850 00:41:07,348 --> 00:41:09,388 Speaker 1: as the former Patriot. I mean, you know the question 851 00:41:09,428 --> 00:41:11,588 Speaker 1: everybody wants to know you were in Philly. You guys 852 00:41:11,588 --> 00:41:13,988 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. Yeah, Johnson said, it's no fun 853 00:41:14,028 --> 00:41:17,508 Speaker 1: to play in New England. Didn't end up in New England? Right? 854 00:41:17,748 --> 00:41:20,908 Speaker 1: What was it like in New England compared to the Phillies, 855 00:41:20,948 --> 00:41:23,148 Speaker 1: the Tampa's in the teams that you play for. Um, 856 00:41:23,228 --> 00:41:25,548 Speaker 1: I mean, I think people would be surprised. There's some 857 00:41:25,628 --> 00:41:29,868 Speaker 1: things that are you know, you would maybe expect. I'm 858 00:41:29,908 --> 00:41:31,148 Speaker 1: trying to think of the right way to put this. 859 00:41:31,828 --> 00:41:33,868 Speaker 1: Some stuff in New England is a lot more low 860 00:41:33,908 --> 00:41:36,308 Speaker 1: key than you'd expect. Like, you know, Bill doesn't what 861 00:41:36,428 --> 00:41:38,428 Speaker 1: you wear for practice and like things like that, Like 862 00:41:38,468 --> 00:41:40,988 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, but it's all business, you know what 863 00:41:40,988 --> 00:41:43,108 Speaker 1: I mean. But it's kind of like that everywhere. It's 864 00:41:43,228 --> 00:41:45,308 Speaker 1: there's a lot of similarities and there's a lot of differences, 865 00:41:45,388 --> 00:41:47,108 Speaker 1: you know. I don't I don't know if there's one 866 00:41:47,148 --> 00:41:49,948 Speaker 1: thing that necessarily, you know, stands out, but everybody in 867 00:41:50,028 --> 00:41:53,148 Speaker 1: Foxborough is on point at all times, from the top 868 00:41:53,228 --> 00:41:54,988 Speaker 1: all the way the bottom. And you know that better 869 00:41:54,988 --> 00:41:58,068 Speaker 1: than these one of those teams that, like you are 870 00:41:58,148 --> 00:42:01,828 Speaker 1: happy to know how the inner workings operate, playing like 871 00:42:01,988 --> 00:42:03,668 Speaker 1: are you proud of the fact that, like, I know 872 00:42:03,708 --> 00:42:05,828 Speaker 1: what goes on there? It takes the mystery way. And 873 00:42:05,828 --> 00:42:07,708 Speaker 1: then like kind of like he's saying, when you get there, 874 00:42:07,748 --> 00:42:10,108 Speaker 1: you're just like, oh, yeah, this isn't what it is 875 00:42:10,148 --> 00:42:12,468 Speaker 1: all kind of made out. You get you figure it out. 876 00:42:12,508 --> 00:42:19,188 Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, what about Chris long So you 877 00:42:19,228 --> 00:42:21,548 Speaker 1: got all the stories? Yeah, I see Longs always talking 878 00:42:21,588 --> 00:42:23,548 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah he yeah, he is. And I spent 879 00:42:23,908 --> 00:42:25,268 Speaker 1: a lot of time with Chris maybe a little bit 880 00:42:25,268 --> 00:42:28,588 Speaker 1: too much. Any any any memorable exchange between this guy 881 00:42:28,588 --> 00:42:32,988 Speaker 1: and Belichick that come to mind? Uh, there was one 882 00:42:33,628 --> 00:42:38,028 Speaker 1: May May. Yeah, I don't want to let you, but 883 00:42:38,268 --> 00:42:39,668 Speaker 1: there was a time where I had, you know, I 884 00:42:39,708 --> 00:42:41,228 Speaker 1: was getting out of the shower in the locker room 885 00:42:41,228 --> 00:42:43,188 Speaker 1: and I had a pretty serious conversation with a coach, 886 00:42:43,348 --> 00:42:45,308 Speaker 1: you know, just in a towel. I didn't know he 887 00:42:45,348 --> 00:42:47,228 Speaker 1: was there, kind of turned around. He was right behind me, like, 888 00:42:47,228 --> 00:42:49,428 Speaker 1: oh oh, you know, and we had a we had 889 00:42:49,468 --> 00:42:53,268 Speaker 1: a long, you know, discussion. And you're never really prepared 890 00:42:53,308 --> 00:42:55,948 Speaker 1: for a conversation like that with you know, the greatest 891 00:42:55,948 --> 00:42:58,308 Speaker 1: coach at the time while you're sitting there in your towel. 892 00:42:58,388 --> 00:43:00,588 Speaker 1: But I think you know, Jay got a kick out 893 00:43:00,588 --> 00:43:03,908 Speaker 1: of that one. Thanks for bringing that one up. Great. Yeah, 894 00:43:04,428 --> 00:43:07,108 Speaker 1: I just remember walking into training a road shot about 895 00:43:07,148 --> 00:43:13,228 Speaker 1: the conversation. I just had a conversation. I'm still but 896 00:43:13,428 --> 00:43:15,268 Speaker 1: like half of you was a coach. If I get 897 00:43:15,348 --> 00:43:21,108 Speaker 1: dressed here real quick, it was so urgent, I got tough. Yeah, 898 00:43:21,148 --> 00:43:24,908 Speaker 1: it's all business. Um. So did you see over the 899 00:43:24,948 --> 00:43:27,548 Speaker 1: weekend in the preseason the lineman with the French and Fries? 900 00:43:27,908 --> 00:43:32,188 Speaker 1: So I didn't watch any football?
