We did 94 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: away with the poll considering we got a week to 95 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: go before Super Bowl Week even begins, and it's what 96 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: intrigues you most about this year's Super Bowl matchup. And 97 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: for Bill's fans, I'm sure it will be Patriots concentric, 98 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: centered around your distaste for them or the fact that 99 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: you're maybe you're maybe you're hoping that this will be 100 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: the end of that run. But for Bills fans, you 101 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: can chime in on this. You can call us at 102 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty outside Buffalo, 103 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: or just call eight oh three oh five fifty or 104 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: tweet at us at one Bill's Live. What do you think, Brownie, 105 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: off the top of your head, what you know, what's 106 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: the biggest thing about this? For me, it is a 107 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: little bit I gotta be honest, it is a little 108 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: bit about the Patriots a little bit. Yeah, yeah, I 109 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: mean that's the only reason. It's pretty amazing. People in 110 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: Buffalo are going to be watching, hoping they meet their 111 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: ultimate demise in the biggest game of the season. Some 112 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: people have been um. Some people have been kind of 113 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: dot we dodged it for years and years and years 114 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: about how you know about that they're good and they're lucky, 115 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: or they cheat or they will do that. You know, 116 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: all the fans stuff that we all throw darts at them. 117 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: It's getting pretty hard to throw darts at them. They 118 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: went on the road into Kansas City and beat a 119 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: pretty good Chiefs, a really good jos team, and they 120 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: did it in overtime and all of that. It's it 121 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 1: inevitably seems though, that their opponents always make some kind 122 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: of critical error and they capitalize on it. The game 123 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: is one I cannot describe to you. I cannot describe 124 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: to you. I had to run out of the room 125 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: her head with both hands. It was offsides on the 126 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: play that they got at the interception, and basically you 127 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: saw at the game away from there with the three 128 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: point lead and the game is over and you're going 129 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl and think back. Now, wait a minute, 130 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: let me just take you back fifteen years offside, We 131 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: take you back fifteen years. Marty Schottenheimer and the San 132 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: Diego Chargers had him on the ropes. They intercept a 133 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: pass in the championship game to kill to you know, 134 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: kill their chances. The guy catches it and starts to 135 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: run with it, and the Patriots force the fumble to 136 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: get it back first down, Patriots going the other way. 137 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: Instead of the game being over, they ultimately lose the 138 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: game because they intercepted it and fumbled it right back 139 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: to him because the guy trying to just instead of 140 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: falling down on it. And that's exactly what happened to 141 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They intercept the ball and they had lined 142 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: up off sides. It's killing me so that I had 143 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: to run out of the room. I didn't. They just 144 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: didn't want to swear. And fifty five seconds left in 145 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: the game, they're up by four points. The game is over. 146 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: Canoe England had three timeouts left, they would have wasted 147 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: all the timeouts. They would have gotten the ball back 148 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: with what at the most thirty eight seconds left if 149 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: you don't do anything with it. And because they did 150 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: have all three time they could they had alt three timeouts. 151 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: But nevertheless, whoa, that's the game. That's the game right there. 152 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: That's just don't beat themselves. He's looking at the football like, 153 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: how do you not know? You're h I know, I 154 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: just but that's so that's for you. So that's for you. 155 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: That's the most intriguing thing about this is the Patriots 156 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: and their ability not to beat themselves. I'm gonna give 157 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: you one that I think will very quickly take center 158 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: stage if it's a close game, and you know, the 159 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: Rams may be similar to the way Doug Peterson kind 160 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: of got the best of the Patriots at times with 161 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: his aggressiveness. I think if Sean mcvayh has a few 162 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: things up his sleeve that his players are able to 163 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: effectively execute on the Patriots, I think the Sean McVeigh 164 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: genius narrative starts to emerge even more on a stage 165 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: this large, and then you know where the broadcasters will 166 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: take it from there. You know, they'll say, well, you know, 167 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: is this the next generation of genius coach in the league? 168 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: You know, based on who he's you know, matched up 169 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: against in Belichick, who I think unquestionably has been the 170 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: best coach in football for the better part of the 171 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: last twenty years. Whether you had Brady or not, I 172 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: still think that the team would have been successful. Maybe 173 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: not as successful, but I think he'd still have a 174 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: couple of Super Bowls under his belt just by the 175 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: way he runs things, the way he seems to be 176 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: a step ahead of everybody. I think if McVeigh puts 177 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: forth a good showing that that narrative will become a 178 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: larger and larger part of the broadcast and by nature 179 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: the conversation on social media they're in. So I think 180 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: that's an interesting thing that I want to keep an 181 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: eye on because I think a lot of people NFL 182 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: ownership included Steve is on this train of young, brilliant 183 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: offensive mind. Just look at some of the hirings we 184 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: saw for the head coaching vacancies this offseason. So I 185 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: think that narrative gets pushed to the top of the 186 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: list on the broadcast if these Rams execute some things 187 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: that maybe McVeigh has up his sleeve for this game, 188 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: well that topic is going to the top of the 189 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: list already. I mean, McVeigh is the flavor of the 190 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: month the NFL. I've called him that a bunch of times, 191 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: and there's good reason for it. There's been many things 192 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: out on Twitter and social media and interviews that he 193 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: has done where he has displayed his tremendous recall. We've 194 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: got sound from McVeagh when he was a fourteen year 195 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: old kid, he attended the Rams Titans Super Bowl and 196 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: Rams Titans or Rams Patriots, Rams Titansky Rams Titans, and 197 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: he was a fourteen year old kid and as a 198 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: birthday present, his grandfather got him tickets. And here's what 199 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: Sean McVay remembers about Super Bowl. I can't remember which 200 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: number it was now Super Bowl the two thousand, anyway, 201 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: that the Rams Titans Super Bowl. Here's what shirty McVeigh 202 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: remembers Super Bowl thirty four when he was fourteen years old. 203 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: You know, I was I was so young at the time, 204 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: but uh, you know, I remember it was a great game. 205 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: I remember, you know, for whatever reason, I really always 206 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: respected the you know, both the offenses. I thought Eddie 207 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: George was outstanding, Steve mcnaer's ability to create off schedule, 208 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: Javon Curse that was his rookie year where he was 209 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: having a lot of success and uh and then you 210 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: look offensively at Kurt Warner and how prolific he was. 211 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: I can still remember Tory Holt catching that slant, Isaac 212 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: Bruce making big plays, Marshall's versatility. So um, just a 213 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: just a fan of the game and watching that. And 214 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you what's so unique is is 215 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: you get a chance to be um, you know, in 216 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: this role and the exposure that it gets you to 217 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: people that you have so much respect for. Coach for 218 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: meals a guy that you know, he texts you after 219 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: all the games and he's been so supportive, and you know, 220 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: watching the way that he connected with those guys and 221 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: and you know, I wasn't afraid to, you know, say 222 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: I love you to these guys, and you know, I 223 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: think those players could feel how much he really cared 224 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: about him and how much he was invested. And you 225 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: talk about some of the adversity that that team, specifically 226 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: being our organization, faced early on in the year, when 227 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: no one gave him a chance, but they kept believing. 228 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner went on to have such a great season. 229 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: But um, and then I also remember it was very 230 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: icy then, so it was it was a real problem 231 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: for us to get there. But it was a great game. 232 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, my grandpa, I got his tickets 233 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: and that was a good birthday present for me. So 234 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of specific things he can tell why 235 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: he is able to. Yeah, he recalls so much. There's 236 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: other instances that you can go to and find where 237 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: he recalls specific things about things that happened quite some 238 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: time ago. And for him, it's only sixteen years in 239 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: the rear view mirror. I mean, what is he thirty one? Right, 240 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: he's fourteen. He was fourteen when he went to the game, 241 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: right of sixteen? Seventeen years ago? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it 242 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: was nineteen years ago, thirty five. Yeah, so it was 243 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing to think about. Yeah, it's not amazing, 244 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: but it's pretty obvious to see why he's so successful 245 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: with the amount of recall that. I mean, he's got 246 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: to have a photographic memory. Because I there was some 247 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: other clip that I saw earlier this year where he 248 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: was just reciting plays in succession on a drive from 249 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: a game like two and a half years ago. That's 250 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: really difficulty when you think about all the plays that 251 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: he puts in a game plan and every week and 252 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: then calls on a game day over the course of 253 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: two years, and he's going to go back and recall 254 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: the one that he did thirty four games ago. That's 255 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: pretty stupid. I'm sorry, I can barely remember what add 256 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: for breakfast. You're with Steve Tasker and Chris Brown. We're 257 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live. We've got a lot of 258 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: talk about this super Bowl coming up, but we're also 259 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: going to have Jim Nagee on. John Murphy is in Mobile, Alabama. 260 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: He's talking to the executive director of the Senior Bowl. 261 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: He's going to come on in just a few minutes 262 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: here with a taped interview that he did just a 263 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: few minutes ago. We also have Dan Hatman coming on, 264 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: who runs a scouting college or a scouting clinic for 265 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: scouts to become NFL scouts. He teaches him how to 266 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: do it. He's been a scout for a long time. 267 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: We've got him coming on later. Also, a good friend 268 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: of mine is coming on the show programming around two o'clock. 269 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: Jim Rickoff, who's the executive producer of the NFL on CBS. 270 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: He is the guy who runs the broadcast for Jim 271 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: Nanson Tony Romo. Tony Romo got a lot of kudos 272 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: for the way he handled the championship game between the 273 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs New England Patriots. People astounded that he 274 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: could just before the snap anticipate what was going to 275 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: happen on the play, where the ball was going to go, 276 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: and he did it pretty consistently throughout a part of 277 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: that game. We've got Jim Rickoff coming on later in 278 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: the show as well, So Chris Brown is here with me. 279 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: We've also got you included in the show. You can 280 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: give us a call. What intrigues you most about this 281 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl matchup La Rams and the New England Patriots. 282 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: You can give us a call. We're gonna be here 283 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: till three, Brownie. And the thing about this is you 284 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: talk about you know, these two teams, there's so much 285 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: there's a lot of good storylines in this. Murph and 286 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: I are going to be down there all next week. 287 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: I mean this Sean McVay thing, who I think the 288 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: thing that that shot him to the top of the conversation. 289 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: Isn't so much the success the Rams have had, which 290 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: it's been great, which would do it normally, But I 291 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: think it's more about the turnaround of the franchise once 292 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: he took over. It's not just where they are now, 293 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: it's where they come from before he showed up, right, 294 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: And I think what I think what helps the narrative is, 295 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, Jeff Fisher, who was the coach who preceded him, 296 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: was a successful coach in the league, chiefly with Tennessee, 297 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: and then comes to the Rams while they were still 298 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: in Saint Louis and just never really got the team 299 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: off the ground. The team then moves, he's still struggling 300 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: with that team in LA. Jared Goff, who's the first 301 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: pick in the draft, looks like a bust his first 302 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: year under Fisher, and you know, they ultimately pulled a 303 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: plug on that coaching regime. You know, when McVeigh comes 304 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: in with zero expectations coming from Washington as the OC 305 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: where he wasn't even calling plays. I believe Jake Gruten 306 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: was doing that. So you know, he comes to LA 307 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: with absolutely zero expectations, no name recognition, whatsoever, especially as 308 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: far as the very lukewarm NFL fans are in La. 309 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: And and and then the whole thing takes off. Jared 310 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: Goff does a complete one with his career in the 311 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: span of a season, and they're a playoff team the 312 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: first year. Yeah, and then it just it's an upward 313 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: art from there. It's interesting to you bring up the 314 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: passion of the LA fans. There was a there was 315 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: did you see that video? My son showed it to me. 316 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: I almost threw up. For those of you and listening 317 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: on radio, there's a video and it and there was 318 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: a bar in LA and there's there's It wasn't full 319 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: and it wasn't a sports bar. But they had the 320 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: game on. It was an overtime game, a championship game 321 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: to send their team to the Super Bowl. And there's 322 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: couples sitting around, there's people watching. Everybody's eyes are on 323 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: the TV. They kick an overtime game winning field goal 324 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl, and there is absolutely 325 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: no reaction. They're like, oh, isn't they were like this 326 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: there's golf clapping. Yeah. They were like, oh, fairly audible. 327 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's nice. And they and like there's a couple 328 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: of the bar and they kind of lean into each other. 329 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: Isn't that nice? So I was like, are you joking? 330 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: Probably made me want to puke. My fourteen year old son, 331 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: who is a died in the wool Bills fan, showed 332 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: me because he saw it on his feed and he says, Dad, 333 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: you gotta look at this. So I look at it 334 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh boy, he goes, Dad, it's 335 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: an embarrassment. He goes, that is a joke. He said, 336 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: they don't deserve to have a team to be this successful. 337 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: He was really bothered by it because he said it 338 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything to them, that's right. He's like, do 339 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: you know what that would be in Buffalo? I said, Oh, 340 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: nobody would work for a month. Yeah, everything would be 341 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: shut down, shut down, yeah, and that would two week 342 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: It'd be two week holiday from the time that kick 343 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: went through all the way through the kickoff of the 344 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl would be two week holiday. Really, 345 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: And that's the difference between you know, a major market 346 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: where there are a lot of other pursuits, a lot 347 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: of other pro teams, and a lot of other things 348 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,959 Speaker 1: to do. You know, this is why Bills fans call 349 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 1: a lot of Miami fans Fairweather because you look at 350 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: their stadium in October and it's half empty, whether the 351 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: team is five and one or one in five. Yeah, 352 00:17:54,520 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: and that's what Royals or Ryle's bills fans. Because the 353 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: passion does not exist in nearly the same fashion in 354 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: a lot of other NFL city we can't. It's funny too, 355 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: because we can't even show it on MSG. We can't 356 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: even show the video on MSG because it's quiet. I mean, 357 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: the radio's just like nothing. It's like dead air. If 358 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: it was it was a live video feed. It was 359 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: a live video taken at the moment when the Rams 360 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: got to the super Bowl and it was just a 361 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: little bar outside of of LA, and I couldn't believe it. 362 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: I thought, at least somebody will stand up and clap, 363 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: or they'll high five or something. They didn't even acknowledge 364 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: each other. It was the most amazing. I was stunted 365 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: telling video that you'll see this year about the Rams 366 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: and their fan base in LA and the atmosphere there, 367 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: and that's probably you know, we don't want to paint 368 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: the entire Rams fan base with such a broad brush, 369 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: with such a small smattering of people I mean, I'm 370 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: sure there are some passionate fans. And we were out 371 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: there when the Bills had to play them a couple 372 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: of years ago, and you know, there were people tailgating, 373 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: there was a good following, you know, pregame and all 374 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: of that. But there's a certain fickle nature. And I 375 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: know people who live out there, who were born and 376 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: raised out there even before the Rams came back, and 377 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: they said, at its core, in terms of sports fans 378 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: in LA, as far as football is concerned, it's a 379 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: college football town. And the main reason why is because 380 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: of the UCLA USC rivalry. You're either on one side 381 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: of that fence or the other, and that's where the 382 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: deepest football passions lie in the college game in LA. 383 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe the Rams and the Chargers, 384 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they're in different conferences, so they're really not 385 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: going to see each other all that much to maybe 386 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: change that conversation. But it's clear to me, and I've 387 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: heard this from more than one person that I know 388 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: who live out there and we're born and raised out there, 389 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: that it's it's a college football town chiefly. All right, 390 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: So we're here, Chris Browns, Steve Tasker, one Bills Live. 391 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: We are talking about the Super Bowl, but we also 392 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: have our guy Murf down in Mobile, Alabama. He is 393 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. And if you wonder why we're 394 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: spending a little bit of time there this week, the 395 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: Bill's draft picks in the last couple of years from 396 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: this Senior Bowl. There's nine of them. Peterman, Zay Jones, 397 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins, Tradavious White, Josh Allen, Wyatt, Teller, Harrison Phillips, 398 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: Terren Johnson, sarrand Neil. This is the first place where 399 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: we all got to look at those guys who are 400 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: now parts of the Bill's roster. And our guy Murph 401 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: is down there all week and he starts things off 402 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: right now. He's going to talk to Jim Naggi, who 403 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: is the executive director of the Senior Bowl. He started 404 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: in June of twenty eighteen, and Murf had a chance 405 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: to talk with the executive director of the Senior Bowl 406 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: just a few minutes ago. All right, thanks, fellows, we're 407 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. We're with Jim nagy who's the 408 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: new executive director of the Senior Bowl. But in your 409 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: many years of scouting, I imagine you spent some time 410 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: here in Mobile over the year. Yeah, it's my twenty 411 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: third Senior Bowl, so it's just in a different capacity. 412 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: So being behind the scenes and seeing it from a 413 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: different lens is kind of different this year. But it's 414 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: been a lot of fun. You come here after five 415 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: years working as a scout with Seattle, before that with England. 416 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: What about this job appealed to you? What do you 417 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: like about this job? The job appeal because it got 418 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: me off the road. You know, I don't scouts won't 419 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: openly complain about it because it's the profession we chose. 420 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: But scouting is a real grind to be on the road, 421 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: you know, half the year is uh, it's tough. So 422 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: and I was living in Mobile, Alabama. So when this 423 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: job came open after the draft, I called our GM 424 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: and Seattle John Schneider. I was like, John, I gotta 425 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: go for this job. My kids are getting to be older. 426 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: My son's getting to be high school age and playing 427 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: high school sports, and you just you miss so much. 428 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: So it's really a quality of life move um for 429 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: the family. So we've been down to Mobile for eleven 430 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: years and it was just a no brainer, and you 431 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: know I could I told John I said, if I'm 432 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: not there, guy, I can live with that. But I 433 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: got at least got at least go for it. So 434 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: this job executive director of the Senior Bowl is almost 435 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: and I thought about it when you were doing the 436 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: news conference. I think it's almost like being a general 437 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: manager of your own team. Actually you got two teams 438 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: here to stop. You know, it is in a sense 439 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to you know, overblow it, 440 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: like because I understand, you know, in a big market 441 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: and the pressure of you know, leading a franchise. But 442 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: in terms of wearing all the different hats, um, you know, 443 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: it is a it's a big job. And that's the 444 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: one thing I may be underestimated going in, Um not 445 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: a lot of time to sit and watch as much 446 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: tape as you do when you're a scout. So that 447 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: was that was different. But you know, just managing people 448 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: and managing a budget. Um, you know, the sponsorship aspect 449 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: of it, the press conference is the you know, the 450 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: public speaking, all that stuff that when you're a scout, 451 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: um you don't you're just not exposed to. You know, 452 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: you're going from school to school and you're grinding, you're 453 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: watching tape, writing reports. So all this stuff has been new, 454 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: but it's it's it's really helped me grow. That's the 455 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: process of deciding who gets invited. What do you have 456 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: one hundred fourteen players here, there's one hundred and fourteen players. Yeah, 457 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: so we start off the fall just like you would 458 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: is a team. So, um, the only thing we did 459 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: differently this year I hired four scouts had been in 460 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: the league for sixty nine years, guys that were out 461 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: of work. Um that got let go last in the 462 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: last firing cycle. And I tell people, when you work 463 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: in football, it's a little bit of a different profession. 464 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: You can be really good at your job, but at 465 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: some point you're gonna get caught in the crosshairs. You know, 466 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna be regime change. You're not gonna new GM, 467 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: new head coach. Things get blown up. So we're gonna 468 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: have to do that every year. You know, those guys 469 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: were all in our contract with their clubs for another year. 470 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: We don't have the budget to pay four full time 471 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: scouts like an NFL team would, So it really worked out. 472 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: And I want to do that too because there every 473 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: year it's going to help keep guys in you know, 474 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: the hard part is when you're out that year and 475 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: you're away from it and you're away from the teams. 476 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: So that's the way we staffed it this year. And 477 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: we start off the fall and you know, just started 478 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: hitting all the major schools and we're at games every weekend. 479 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: Like like you said, out of one fourteen, we saw 480 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: one hundred and four of them in games this year. 481 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: So our coverage was unbelievable and really relied on our 482 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: network of scouts and friends to you know, point us 483 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: in the direction of the right small school players. That's 484 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: how we covered those guys, and they put us on 485 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: the right ones and then we scouted and some of 486 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: them we didn't invite, you know, we just didn't see 487 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: it the same way or you know, they were just 488 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: on the fringe, but they really helped us get some 489 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: of these great small school players. Always stretch me here, Jim, 490 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: This game this week is designed to service NFL teams 491 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: and their scouting steps right absolutely, you know, I mean, 492 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: you know this, These rosters are for these guys. They're 493 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: for the thirty two teams, and that's that's what I'm 494 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: trying to impress on them. Um, you know, throughout the 495 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: falls I'm doing this for you guys. You know, I 496 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: want to bring the players you want to see. It's 497 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: not about the senior ball. It's not about us, you know, 498 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: bringing in guys we think are good. I mean, that's 499 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: why we really cross checked through the fall. Here's the 500 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: guys we want to invite. You know, are you guys 501 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: on your in alignment with us? Are you seeing it 502 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: the same way, because there's no sense bringing players here. 503 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: They don't want to see. Where do these two teams? 504 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: Where are they strong? What are the strongest position groups? 505 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: You think? In this class of twenty nine, the quarterback 506 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: group depth is incredible. Um in my twenty three years, 507 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: it's and again it's it's just good by chance this 508 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: year my first year running the game, but just the 509 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: depth from one to eight and really nine. We added 510 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson from Buffalo as our ninth, so the depth 511 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: is incredible at quarterback. The edge rush grew is is 512 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: really good. You know, we've got four or five six 513 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: guys in in this game that double digit sacks in college, 514 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 1: which is getting harder and harder to do with all 515 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: these spread offenses and people getting rid of it quick. 516 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: So those two groups, the offensive line, group is really 517 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: strong as well. Let's talk about Tyree Jackson and what 518 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: brought him here. What made you think we need this 519 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: guy even though we have a full compliment at quarterbacks, 520 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: we need this night because he's just too good of 521 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: a player. You know, we're not drafting for you know, 522 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: we're not We're not picking a team for need here. 523 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: We're just trying to bring in the best players for 524 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: these guys to see. So I saw Tyree over the 525 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: summer at the Manning camp. Obvious the arm is, it's 526 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: pretty obvious that the kid can throw it through a 527 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: brick wall. So, you know, great size, good athlete for 528 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: a size. So met him down there and then they 529 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: came down to Mobile for the dollar general role, which 530 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: was great to go out and see him practice again, 531 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: reconnect with him. And even then I didn't I didn't 532 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: really get the impression he was going to come out early. 533 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: When he did, it kind of caught us off guard. 534 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: Just too good of a player. I mean, it was 535 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: a ninth quarterback. So I called the two coaches Shanahan 536 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: and Gruden, and ran it by them because it adds, 537 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: you know, a layer of Okay, how do we manage 538 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: reps in practice in the game, Um, Kyle Shannon was 539 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: great with it. So we had a Tyrene. We're excited 540 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: to get him down here. What does Tyree need to 541 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 1: do this week here to improve his stock? Just get 542 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: better every day, you know, like these guys, and you know, 543 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: in one of the coaches meetings last night, they said, 544 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: you know everyone's going to be nervous this first day, 545 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: like the lead doesn't really uh, you know, critique this 546 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: first day too hard because there's nerves go on, there's 547 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, you're not familiar with your your especially for quarterbacks, 548 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: you're not familiar with your receivers. The chemistry's not there. 549 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: So just get a little better every day. Like Josh 550 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: Allen last year from Wyoming, your guy, I mean, first 551 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: couple of days it was, you know, it wasn't great, 552 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, but he got better every day in the league. 553 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: You started to you started to feel him get more comfortable, 554 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: and then game day he lit it up and really 555 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: helped himself. So I think that's all Tyree has to do. 556 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: Last question for eachym. People sitting at home this week 557 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: watching practices, are watching the game Saturday, who should they 558 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Who's maybe one guy that you'll 559 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: have your eye on. Gosh, there's there's there's so many. 560 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to watch them all. I'm excited they're all here. 561 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: But a guy that I'm really interested in is this kid, 562 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: John Kaminsky from Charleston and West Virginia Division two school. 563 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: You know, really cool backstory. The kid was a six 564 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: foot one, two hundred and ten pound quarterback coming out 565 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: of high school and then just kept growing. He's one 566 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: of those like Dennis Rodman. He's one of those Dennis 567 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: Rodman stories. You know, he just kept growing and he 568 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: now he's a six five, two hundred and seventy five 569 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: pound defensive lineman and unblockable D two players. So and 570 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: started getting calls from him around with buddies around the league. 571 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: And then jim this isn't a late round, you know, 572 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: small school developmental guy. This guy could be a second 573 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: or third round pick. I was like, wow, we we 574 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: got to get someone up there. So I sent a 575 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: scouting assisting up and checked him out, and he called me. 576 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: He's like, Jimmy's the real deal. So I want to 577 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: see John against you know, against the big boys this week. 578 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: Thanks for this good luck this week. Yeah, thanks for 579 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: having me Jim Niggi is executive director of the Senior 580 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: Bowl that send it back to the studio. Thank you John, 581 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: John there with Jim Niggie. That's pretty interesting to hear 582 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: the perspective of the guy running the show and how 583 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: they put it all together. One hundred and fourteen players 584 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: and they brought in the ninth quarterback. All those guys 585 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: are there and there's a lot going on. We're gonna 586 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: hear from John and some stuff from Mobile throughout the 587 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: show today and through the rest of the week as well. 588 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: So what I mean, what are your thoughts about the 589 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: way that was put together? Well, I mean he's brand 590 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: new to the position. I mean, this is his first 591 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: year on the job and he's tried to do it 592 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: his way. I will say that the one thing that 593 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: I've noticed as he's taken over for Phil Savage, you know, 594 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: who's no longer in that role, is there is a 595 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: greater social media presence by you know, the Senior Bowl 596 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: per se and right. And the thing that I like is, uh, 597 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: there are frequent player updates. I always felt in the 598 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: past we used to get the rosters like piecemeal here 599 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: and a press release there and this that and the 600 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: other and they kind of grouped it by position, almost 601 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: like a position reveal kind of thing. I like that, 602 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: I think so. I think there are some new elements 603 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: that Naggie and his staff are trying to introduce to 604 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: draw more eyeballs. And ideally that's how you sell sponsorships. 605 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: You draw more eyeballs, you get more sponsors. Obviously, Reeses 606 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: is the overriding sponsor, but there are other lesser sponsors 607 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: that help make this game, you know, reality at the 608 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: end of the week. So, um, it's gonna be interesting 609 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: to see how the week plays out because as much 610 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: as people are excited about the prospects that are there 611 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: and their NFL potential, there are also going to be 612 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: some eyeballs on how this new management group runs this event, 613 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: and there will be feedback from the NFL as to 614 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: how it went and at and well there should be. 615 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: We're here.

We are taking phone calls and shooting the breeze. 643 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of feed We've got some feedback 644 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: on our question of what intrigues you most about the 645 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl matchup this year? From Andrew on the tweet sheet, 646 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: this is one of the most boring super Bowl matchups 647 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: in recent memory. But the thought of Brady possibly losing 648 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: his fourth Super Bowl is the only thing keeping me go. 649 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 1: Telling you right now, he is a ratings draw, maybe 650 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: more for the people who hate him than for the 651 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: fans that love him in New England. Reminds you of 652 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: the old days of Howard Cosell, when he was the 653 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: most loved sportscaster and the most hated at the same time. 654 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: And Brady's got to be in that conversation. Another tweet 655 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: from this tweet sheet dom the storyline is the best part. 656 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Bill Belichick started their dynasty against the 657 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: Rams in two thousand and one. It would be poetry 658 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: if it ended against the Rams almost twenty years later. 659 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: I didn't really give that much thought, but It's true. 660 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: This was their first first Super Bowl win was against 661 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: the Rams, and to get them beat by the Rams. Listen, 662 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm telling you though, we've had this conversation brandany I'll 663 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,959 Speaker 1: get your feedback on it as well, and you can 664 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: get out on the conversation at eight or three oh 665 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: five fifty or one eight five fifty two five fifty. 666 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going anywhere. Brady and Belichick are 667 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: going to be back in the saddle next year. Training 668 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: camp's gonna start and there you go. I've talked to 669 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: a bunch of New England reporters about that, and most 670 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: of them are pretty convinced he will be back for 671 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season. Yeah, So it doesn't seem like 672 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of debate about that. I think 673 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: if there is a debate, it's about Gronk. I think 674 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that believe he is 675 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: going to hang it up after this year. I think 676 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: we saw that the game has taken a tremendous toll 677 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: on his body. He is not the player he once was. 678 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: He strongly, strongly considered hanging it up last year and 679 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: almost did not come back. So I think that's almost 680 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: a given that he has done after this year. It 681 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,239 Speaker 1: may well be, but I don't know. For Brady, I 682 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: think having him win this Super Bowl makes it even 683 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: more I think it makes it even more likely he'll 684 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: come back, you know what I mean? If he gets 685 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: beat I think, you know, I don't know. I will see. 686 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: Also last one from the tweet sheet from Nune you 687 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: one Bills live once again. The Riffs ruined a great game. 688 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: LA does not deserve to be their period. What a 689 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: joke the league can be. Just like the interference call 690 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: on New England when the Colts were a fourth and whatever, 691 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: giving Manning four more shots from about the three yard line. 692 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: I wanted Peyton. They wanted Peyton in the Super Bowl. Well, 693 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: all of that happens. It's not it's not. Nothing is 694 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: because the league wants it. It's just the way the league. 695 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: It works out for the league, either four or against 696 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: the league. Believe me, Um, the officials didn't want to 697 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: blow that call. They got to live with because we 698 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: believe me, they're the ones living with it, these officials. Uh, 699 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: and they're they're not happy about getting that mispass interference 700 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: call wrong. Um. And it's because it's You're right. It's 701 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: it makes them look bad, and it makes all of 702 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: them look bad, not just the crew that worked the 703 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: game in New Orleans, but the entire industry. Um, all 704 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: of that's happening. We're here, Um, we're here at one 705 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: Bills Live. We're gonna be here till three. We're talking 706 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: about the Super Bowl and what intrigues you most about 707 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: that matchup. We're also going back and forth between here 708 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: and the uh Reese's Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, and 709 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: Murphy is going to come on with us after Betty. 710 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: We just heard from Jim Neggie, the executive director of 711 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: the Reese's Senior Bowl, and he gave us a little 712 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: bit of insight as to what's going on down there 713 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: and how they put the whole thing together. We're also 714 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: going to hear from Dan Hatman, maybe if we can 715 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: fit him in to get him on the show. He 716 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: is a scout that runs a college sort of so 717 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 1: to speak, to train scouts on how to be one. 718 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: And also we're gonna hear from Jim Rickoff, the executive 719 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: producer of NFL on CBS, who is going to be 720 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: the producer for the Super Bowl fifty three coming up. 721 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: In Atlanta, and he's a friend of mine that I 722 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: worked with as a producer during my days at CBS 723 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: as well. So you can chime in if you want. 724 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: Eight O three oh five fifty Steve Tasker, along with 725 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: Chris Brown Brownie, many other things that's coming out that's 726 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: been all over we got. We've got all kinds of 727 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: stuff going on. We've got people putting mock drafts out 728 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: so you're getting an idea of where the Bills are 729 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: gonna pick. We've got all these names and nine names 730 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: that are actually on the roster of these rookie, prominent 731 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: rookies that came out of the Senior Bowl, Sean McVay 732 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: being the boy genius going to the Super Bowl and 733 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: all of that. And we've also got all the stuff 734 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: that happened. The ratings were huge for the Chiefs pat 735 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: Patriots game last week. We had a whole bunch of 736 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: stuff to talk about. Of that and this thing. We're 737 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: gonna have jim rickoff on, we can talk to him 738 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: about it. What you think about Tony Romo predicting the 739 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: plays in the Championship game as it came down against 740 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Patriots. I think it's a good thing, 741 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, in the end, when you're weigh the pros 742 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: and the cons there. Some might argue that it takes 743 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 1: away from actually watching the game unfold, because he's basically 744 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: taking the fun out of it, telling you what's likely 745 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: to happen, and then in many cases he does it 746 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: when it's fun when he starts doing it, and you 747 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: can say, hey, it's great, but after a while you're 748 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: gonna get out of that. I think most fans like 749 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: being clued in as to what could be coming, so 750 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: they know what to look for, and so I think, 751 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: you know, weighing it all out in the end, it's 752 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 1: probably a positive as far as the broadcasts are concerned, 753 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: because you're educating the fan before the play even happens. 754 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,439 Speaker 1: You didn't tell them what happened. You're telling them what's 755 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: about to happen. And I think for the value of 756 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: a broadcast, it's more valuable because you're cluing the viewer 757 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: in to what's about to untold. But it's a little 758 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: bit like the mindset you get when I don't know 759 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: if you've ever watched poker on TV, because you know 760 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: everybody's cards. It's kind of like that where you get 761 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: a chance to see, Oh, I see what you see. 762 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: I think I know what's going to happen, and you 763 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: don't a little bit. The players don't know as much 764 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: as we do now for a change. I think that's 765 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: really kind of a good feeling for France watching the game. 766 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: It gives him a sense of being a part of it. 767 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: He's despite the fact that, you know, quarterbacks have been 768 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: part of broadcast teams for decades, you know, and covering football. 769 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: I think he has brought a new dimension to the 770 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: broadcast booth that you really haven't been witnessed too previously. 771 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: It's a it's a new element that previously did not exist, 772 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: and it's based solely on his expertise as a recent 773 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: former quarterback. There was some there was some questions when 774 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: he came out of the league and he retired from 775 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: the cow Boys, and the and CBS made the decision 776 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna plug him into the number one spot where 777 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 1: Phil Simms was and stuff, and people were really like, Wow, 778 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: that's a big step for a guy right out right 779 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: right off the field, because all he's doing talking football, right. 780 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: It does take some time to get you, but there's 781 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff you know what it's like, you 782 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: get in the book. You gotta prepare, you gotta be 783 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: ready for it. These guys work really hard to make 784 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: it look easy. There's no question you can tell by 785 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: the from the words he's saying and the predictions he's 786 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 1: making play to play that he's he's done a lot 787 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: of work at it. Yeah. If there's anything that that 788 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: bugs me a little bit about his style, it's that 789 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: he gushes a lot, do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, 790 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, he's making these noises and stuff like, oh, 791 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: he's got all you like he's watching a replay in 792 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,760 Speaker 1: SloMo shows a little bit of too much emotion at times. 793 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: I see. I kind of like that gushes a little 794 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: bit about guys. And you know how much different is 795 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: that from when John Gruden would tell you everybody's great everybody, 796 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: which was annoying. Also, yeah, um, that happens on That 797 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: happened a lot. I mean I'd rather have him, you know, 798 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: show some because the reason it works for Tony, I 799 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: think that's who he is. Yeah, it's genuine. Yeah, that's 800 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: the way. Some people used to say the same thing 801 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: about Gus Johnson as a play by play guy. They say, Wow, 802 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: he's a little bit too over that. But you know 803 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: why he can pull it off is because he didn't 804 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 1: have to. Man. In fact, it's real, it's real. So 805 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: that's why that's one thing I like about Tony too. 806 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: And when they brought him out of off the field 807 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: straight into the Number one booth, they did a lot 808 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 1: of practice games. They really had to work out, you know, 809 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 1: they got him ready and they tried to get him 810 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: as prepared as they could. When the regular season went on, 811 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 1: they would go and do the games in a dark 812 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: night in a dark room, but in off the air, 813 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: and they would sit at the game in a booth 814 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: and replicate, right, they would replicate everything. And even at 815 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: the seminar. The CBS has all the talent in the 816 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: seminar and where they talk about how the year's gonna go, 817 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: and Jim Rickoff the guy we're gonna have on the 818 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: show in a little bit as the producer, he goes 819 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: there were some real questions, is that how it was 820 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: gonna go with Tony. They were like, I don't know, 821 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, if they got to give him they were 822 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: they were here's what it was. They were saying. To listen, 823 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: I hope people give him a chance. I hope they 824 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: just kind of, you know, they don't just pounce on him, 825 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: because they knew it was gonna be different with him, 826 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: but they didn't know what it was going to sound 827 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: like or what people were gonna think of it. And 828 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: of course now in retrospect it it was a brilliant 829 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 1: moved because he is genuine, very knowledgeable, and I think 830 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 1: people like unannouncement I was into. I think his passion 831 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: for football comes through exactly in his delivery, and I 832 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: think a viewer who's listening to that can appreciate it 833 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: because in most cases, if they're watching, it's because they're 834 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: passionate about the game too, So it's a good marriage 835 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: to have. And rarely, I would say more often, the 836 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,720 Speaker 1: excitable personality in the booth is the guy that's calling 837 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: the game, not the color analyst. So it's a little 838 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: bit of a flip of the script there too, because 839 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: the color analyst when Romo's in the booth is the 840 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 1: guy that's getting excited now too, not just the guy 841 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: who's calling the action. Depending on which games you're doing 842 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: and who you're watching, and the dynamic between the play 843 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: by play guy and the analyst I've been mostly it's 844 00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: been my style and my kind of group experience in 845 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: the booth that it's always the play by play guy 846 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: carries the broadcast because he's calling the traffic, and he 847 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: can even set the agenda for the topics, even though 848 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: you've talked about the topics before you get on the 849 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 1: air and all that. It's been interesting to see that 850 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: you can you can find guys that something like Al 851 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: Michael seems to me to carry the broadcast. Now, certainly 852 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth can hold his own, but Mike, you know, 853 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Al Michaels calls that game and it carries 854 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: the broadcast. The same thing. I think Troyman and Joe 855 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: Buck they set the tone. I think it's just I 856 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: think it's been good that Jim Nance's gonna let Tony 857 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: and Tony Guy steps on him, you know at the 858 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: end of the play, and Jim kind of backs away 859 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: and leaves it open leading up to most of them. 860 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,919 Speaker 1: I think that's because he respects the expertise there. That's why. Yeah, 861 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: because he knows it's ultimately making it a better broadcast, 862 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: but it is a knowledgeable broadcast. It's a decision he 863 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: has to make. And a lot of these guys won't 864 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: do it. They won't do it. Well, yeah, egos getting 865 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: that's exactly right. They won't do it. Listen, it's their broadcasting. 866 00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: They're not gonna do it. And you know, well, that's 867 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: that's you and creep into it unfortunately, but it does, 868 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: and it's what they're used to as well. It's hard 869 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 1: to change who you are and what you do in 870 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: your job, especially when you've been doing as long as 871 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm Michaels So's. I get it. I get it. I'm 872 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: not saying it's right, but I get it all right. 873 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: Chris Brown along with Steve Tasker, we're here one Bills 874 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: Drive on One Bills Live.

We've been talking of 891 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,399 Speaker 1: a lot about the Super Bowl matchup, and you're gonna 892 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: hear a lot about Sean McVay, who is a second 893 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 1: year head coach with La Rams, and he's been actually 894 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: absolutely exploded onto the NFL landscape, wouldn't you agree. I 895 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 1: mean the way that Rams took off after struggling for 896 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: so bad for a couple of years, he took over 897 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, their quarterback, who was a 898 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: bust is an MVP candidate. They've got a running game 899 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: and an offensive line, and you know their playoff team. 900 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 1: Right away next week, next hour, we'll discuss a little 901 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: bit as to why Goff has been so successful. We can. Yeah, 902 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of the a little bit behind the scenes. Yeah, 903 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: there's a few layers to that, onion, no question about it. 904 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: We got one thing here, this interesting U Sean MCVAYH hilarious, 905 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 1: really right? Who's got this? Its reputation as a pretty 906 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: bright guy, and that's an understatement, I think. To be honest, 907 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: he's got on the side. When he's on the sidelines 908 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: of the Rams game, he's really focused on the game 909 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to be distracted. So what he 910 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: did was he, I don't know what do you call, 911 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: commissioned his director of strength training and performance at a 912 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: guy named Ted Wrath. And on game day Ted Rath, 913 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: who's strength down one job, strength training and performance, what 914 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 1: he does on game dame is keep Sean McVay out 915 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: of the way of the officials that run up and 916 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,400 Speaker 1: down the sidelines. Mcvay's looking at the field, he roams 917 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: all over as you can imagine, he's everywhere, and Ted 918 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: Wrath pulls him off the sidelines to keep Sean McVay 919 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: from bumping banging into officials getting a penalty. Yeah, and 920 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: you're talking about headlinesman side judge. These are the guys 921 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: that are typically headlines sidelines officiating, usually from the line 922 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: of scrimmage or you know, somewhere off the line, and 923 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: he's so locked into the game. He appointed his strength 924 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: and conditioning coach. They yank him back and out of 925 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: the way. Even when he does that, I mean, he's 926 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: still walking circles around these officials. The officials are right 927 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: out the line of scrimmage, and also the field judge 928 00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: when the balls down at one end of the field 929 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: of the other, the field judge or the back judge 930 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,360 Speaker 1: is off deep on his sidelines and he's in the 931 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 1: way of that too. So there's two officials on both 932 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,799 Speaker 1: sidelines and he's dodging them or having this guy Ted 933 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 1: Rath pull him off the sidelines every play. Our MSG 934 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: viewers are getting a chance to watch this, and he 935 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: basically grabs him by the waist and literally pulls him back. 936 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: And I can see, I can totally see this happening 937 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,919 Speaker 1: because you're so locked into the game and what's going 938 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,399 Speaker 1: on on the field. You're peripher you have tunnel vision, 939 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 1: you're you have no peripheral vision. There's a lot going on, 940 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: especially if that side judge is deeper than you behind 941 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, then where you're situated, and all 942 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden he has to come up to make 943 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,359 Speaker 1: a call at a play happening, maybe right in front 944 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: of you. You're watching the action, and he's coming out 945 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: of your blind spot. I mean, he's gonna deck you. 946 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: It could be deeper or shallower than you. If the 947 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: bows down, they're coming out of their own end zone. 948 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: The other team's coming out of their end zone, and 949 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 1: you're down there, and that he's backing up, coming up 950 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: the sideline on deep route getting out of there, and 951 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 1: you're standing there at the end of the bench area. 952 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 1: It's it is an issue because for decades and since 953 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 1: the league began, coaches have always snuck out and players 954 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: have you know edge You've seen guys step off the 955 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 1: bench in basketball, they start getting onto the court after 956 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: a dunk, and they have that little hash mark line 957 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 1: there right at the sideline for you know, this is 958 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: the coaches area, right, you know, and they don't the 959 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: head coaches there's a lot of leeway. You've seen all 960 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,920 Speaker 1: the head coaches in the league run all the way 961 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: down to the goal line to call a time out 962 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: and all the way down there, so they're running everywhere. 963 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: The head coach is given pretty much carte blanche. To 964 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 1: go wherever he wants. Everybody else is supposed to stay 965 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: in the bench area. But Sean mcvayh knows, I mean. 966 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: And we can get into it maybe next next hour, 967 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,879 Speaker 1: about why Sean McVeigh is so locked in, particularly when 968 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: his offense is out there. He's got a lot on 969 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 1: his plate. Uh, And some of it has to do 970 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: with Jared Goff and how he handles him play calling 971 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,359 Speaker 1: in his radio and the reason one of the things 972 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 1: you'll see about the Rams offense when they're on the field, 973 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: they get up to the line pretty quick. And we've 974 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: talked at length, you and I off the off the 975 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: mike about why that is. What do you think that's 976 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: gonna say when we get into this, What do you 977 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 1: think it's gonna say about golf? Is it elevate him 978 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: or or I don't think it's gonna He wrote him right, 979 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't help. Sounds like he's just made out to 980 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,320 Speaker 1: be a parrot, right. You know, Sean mcvay's the genius. 981 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: And I think that maybe that's why the word of 982 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,439 Speaker 1: that got out, and that's why Sean mcvagh is so 983 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,879 Speaker 1: sought after a guy's like him. Yeah, because you can 984 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: make my quarterback a winner, any quarterback. Wow, it sounds like, yeah, 985 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: anybody that we can throw it. I'm not gonna I'm 986 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: not gonna drag take any away from Jared Goff. And man, 987 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 1: the guy's made some throws and he's doing and they're 988 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: winning with him. And that's not easy even if you 989 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 1: are getting help, a lot of help. But I don't 990 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: think and listen, listen, put this way too, brownie. You 991 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: think McVay is the only one trying to help the 992 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: guy like that. And then's a headset. There's kind of 993 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 1: a quarterbacks coach that's probably got some input there. And 994 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, but it wouldn't surprise me if mcvay's got 995 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 1: it set up where you know, your quarterback coach will 996 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,439 Speaker 1: talk to you when you get to the side. He'll 997 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: talk to him between series, right, Okay, he'll show he'll 998 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 1: walk through the pictures with you. Yeah. McVay doesn't do 999 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: that too much, though, he keeps his eyes on the defense. 1000 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: He's one of those play calling head coaches that really 1001 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 1: is engaged on both sides of the ball. And I think, well, 1002 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,240 Speaker 1: he does let Wade run things. But yes, she's paying attention. Yeah, absolutely, 1003 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: all right, Chris Brown along with Steve Tasker's One Bills Live. 1004 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back at the top of the hour 1005 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: and we've got John Murphy, lots more from the Senior 1006 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 1: Bowl coming up.

Murph, you're 1056 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 1: on with Chris and Steve. How are things going down 1057 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: in Mobile? A little different here this year for the 1058 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills than it was a year ago. Yeah, absolutely, Steve, 1059 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 1: You're right about that. You think about I wasn't here 1060 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 1: a year ago, but you know that a year ago 1061 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,320 Speaker 1: it was all about the quarterbacks, right Chris Brown was 1062 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 1: here a year ago. The quarterbacks who were here, including 1063 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,280 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, including Baker Mayfield, and a lot of attention 1064 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 1: focused on the quarterbacks by the Bills, And I was 1065 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 1: thinking about it. Almost seems like that's been that way 1066 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: for years, doesn't it As far as the Bills and 1067 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: their quarterback issues. Not this year quarterback is set. The 1068 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 1: Bills have had success though here in the Senior Bowl 1069 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 1: the last two years since Sean McDermott came on board. 1070 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 1: Nine Bills draft plick picks over the last two years 1071 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,760 Speaker 1: coming from the Senior Bowl here Josh Allen, Tarn Johnson 1072 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 1: last year, Wyatt Teller, Sara and Neil, and Harrison Phillips. 1073 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 1: That was the last year's Senior bowls Dad Jones beyond 1074 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,320 Speaker 1: Dawkins to Davias White and Nathan Peterman the year before. 1075 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 1: So obviously the Senior Bowl has been fertile ground for 1076 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,319 Speaker 1: the Bills as they try to rebuild their roster over 1077 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. And there are prospects here 1078 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 1: one hundred fourteen players in all, nine quarterbacks here. We'll 1079 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,919 Speaker 1: talk more about that in a second. They have eleven 1080 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 1: junior graduates here. The Senior Bowl used to be for 1081 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 1: seniors quite frankly, and then about six seven years ago 1082 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: they decided that juniors who had graduated fulfilled their graduation requirements, 1083 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,279 Speaker 1: some of them would be inviting. They got eleven of 1084 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: them here, and they are really some of the top 1085 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 1: practice or some of the top prospects from this past 1086 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,399 Speaker 1: year's college football year. Now they've been on the field yet, 1087 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 1: they've had meetings, they've talked to these players, they've had 1088 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,399 Speaker 1: media sessions, one going on right now. We just left 1089 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 1: the South media session and the North is about to begin. 1090 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 1: The first practice is coming up in about ninety minutes. 1091 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,799 Speaker 1: The South team will get on the field at the 1092 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 1: lad People Stadium, that's a couple of minutes away from here. 1093 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: Ninety minute practice, and then the North team follows that 1094 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,800 Speaker 1: up at four thirty this afternoon. The Bills all thirty 1095 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: two NFL teams here here this week. Bills, GM, Brandon 1096 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: Bean and a scouting staff are here. Most of the scouts, 1097 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott and his coordinators. They're here, Brian 1098 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 1: Dable from the offense, Leslie Fraser from the defense, and 1099 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 1: it's best new special team's coach, Heath Farwell. We'll get 1100 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,759 Speaker 1: a chance to talk with Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott 1101 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,479 Speaker 1: in between those two practices later today after the show 1102 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: goes off the year. As I said, the nine quarterbacks here, 1103 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 1: the ninth one very interesting to Buffalo fans obviously, and 1104 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: that of course is the ub Bulls quarterback who Tyree Jackson, 1105 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,479 Speaker 1: who just was added to the Senior Bowl roster about 1106 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: a week and a half ago. At the way in 1107 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 1: this morning Jackson, I mean, he's just impressive physically right, 1108 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,399 Speaker 1: six foot seven inches tall. He's clearly the tallest guy 1109 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 1: here among any of the players in any positions, two 1110 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine pounds. We talked to him a 1111 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:37,879 Speaker 1: minute ago. You'll hear that interview a little bit later 1112 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: on in the show. Tyree Jackson is just a very 1113 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: impressive young man, a prospect, and most observers to feel 1114 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 1: will be a third or fourth round pick. I believe 1115 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,959 Speaker 1: you heard Jim Nay, the director of the Senior Bowls, 1116 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: say that a little bit earlier on in the show today. 1117 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: But a chance to improve his stock. And this is 1118 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,320 Speaker 1: what I believe, this is what the Senior Bowl is 1119 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 1: all about. Guys who don't come from the Power of 1120 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 1: Five conferences, like Tyree Jackson and his teammate Anthony Johnson, 1121 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: the wide receiver from UBI, a chance to show that 1122 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,640 Speaker 1: they can play. You know that Anthony Johnson can get 1123 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,640 Speaker 1: open against cornerbacks from the SEC. A chance for Tyree 1124 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 1: Jackson to show that he can make plays against big 1125 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 1: time defensive players. And they'll get a chance to start 1126 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 1: doing that when the practices begin about ninety minutes from now. 1127 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 1: And Murphy, I've got to believe that Jackson's pretty darn 1128 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,320 Speaker 1: happy that he and Johnson are on the same roster. 1129 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 1: They're on that South team roster together, which I guess 1130 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 1: gets on the field about an hour and a half. 1131 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 1: Is there, did he? I mean, not to give away 1132 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 1: your interview. Will hear from it, you know, very shortly here, 1133 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,919 Speaker 1: But I gotta imagine he's pretty excited that he's got 1134 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 1: some receiver out there that he has a measure of 1135 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,319 Speaker 1: familiarity with that he's going to be able to throw too, 1136 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 1: because most of these guys are new to him. Yeah, 1137 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 1: I mean, that'll get him a jump right right off 1138 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,840 Speaker 1: the bat, a chance to throw his top receiving target 1139 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 1: the last couple of years that you be Anthony Johnson. 1140 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 1: A chance to get back on the field where they 1141 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: just practiced for a week going into the bowl game. 1142 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago they played right here. They 1143 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 1: played Troy in the Dollar General Bowl on that field 1144 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 1: lad People Stadium a couple of weeks ago. Came up 1145 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 1: with a loss in that game. So yeah, he'll get 1146 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,920 Speaker 1: a shot to work with him. So I'm other talented 1147 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks too. Missouri quarterback Drew Locke is here this week, 1148 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,759 Speaker 1: and he's regarded as a guy who could be a 1149 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,799 Speaker 1: first or second rounder. Daniel Jones from Ducas here and 1150 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 1: one more thing you'll hear Tyree talk about a little 1151 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 1: bit later on in the show. He came here from 1152 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,240 Speaker 1: Southern California. He's already begun to work with Jordan Palmer, 1153 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 1: the quarterback guru who worked with Josh Allen a year ago. 1154 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 1: When he leaves here at the end of this week, 1155 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: he'll go back to Southern California to continue his quarterback 1156 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,120 Speaker 1: schooling with Jordan Palmer. So I think he's got he's 1157 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: in the right hands. When it comes to getting a 1158 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 1: guy ready for what awaits him in the NFL. And 1159 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 1: one of the things about this murf is Tyree Jackson 1160 00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 1: is he's gonna be really intriguing because, as you said, 1161 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 1: when he steps up and you get your chance to 1162 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: lay eyes on the guy, he's impressive. And he starts 1163 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 1: out right now as a third or fourth round pick. 1164 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,280 Speaker 1: But when these scouts, you know how it is, Murph, 1165 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 1: they get a load of how this guy it looks, 1166 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: how he throws it, his strength, his speed, his athleticism, 1167 00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:02,239 Speaker 1: and just the sheer size that right there ups his 1168 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,919 Speaker 1: draft stock immensely, does it not. I mean it's let's 1169 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,279 Speaker 1: be honest, yeah, I mean you could hear it today 1170 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 1: at the Wayans and the way you guys have been 1171 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 1: to the Wines. They're a little bit weird, right, guys 1172 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,799 Speaker 1: in there basically their underwear standing on stage with being 1173 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 1: measured and wade. But when Tyree Jackson got up there, 1174 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 1: quarterback Tyree Jackson, Buffalo, they announced he's six foot seven 1175 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:23,920 Speaker 1: inches tall. He gets people's attention. That you could hear 1176 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,239 Speaker 1: like a ripple in the crowd, like whoa, I mean 1177 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,879 Speaker 1: that's a big guy. Yeah, that'll get people's attention. He's 1178 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do though, Stephen and 1179 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: talking to uh, you know, some of the people around 1180 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,919 Speaker 1: here about Tyree and what he needs to improve upon. 1181 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 1: There's a lot. It would be great if he has 1182 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: a good week, comes out of here with a good week. 1183 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 1: And I think, to his credit, he viewsed this as 1184 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 1: a kind of a process. He'll get better here, maybe 1185 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 1: impressive people here. Go back to work with Jordan Palmer 1186 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 1: next week, be at the combine in a couple of 1187 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,239 Speaker 1: weeks where obviously his measurements are going to be great, 1188 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 1: and get a chance to throw a little bit at 1189 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 1: the combine too. So he's along, he's moving along the way, 1190 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: and I don't know, and I asked, I was surprised, 1191 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 1: you know that he went through the thing a couple 1192 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 1: of weeks ago when he said he declared himself, you know, 1193 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 1: eligible to look around for a transfer. Well, he told 1194 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:09,799 Speaker 1: us today he wasn't thinking about that at all. His 1195 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,279 Speaker 1: plan right from the start was to be here, was 1196 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,319 Speaker 1: to be eligible for the draft, and he was just 1197 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 1: the first step and kind of shaking himself loose from 1198 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:18,719 Speaker 1: the rest of the pack. When it came to the 1199 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 1: quarterback prospects, well, as much as we know, the Bills 1200 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 1: are not looking for a quarterback, probably in any form, 1201 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 1: since that room is pretty much set in stone, with 1202 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 1: all three of the quarterbacks from last year's roster now 1203 00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 1: under contract. Naturally, some of the attention shifts to the 1204 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 1: other positions wide receiver. Among the murf there are some 1205 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,320 Speaker 1: recognizable names on some of these rosters, like Hunter Renfro 1206 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 1: from Clemson, who seems like he's played there for about 1207 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,920 Speaker 1: six or seven years, but he's finally a senior. But 1208 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 1: there are some other names, and I don't want to 1209 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: run down the whole list, but what's the general consensus 1210 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,840 Speaker 1: down there in MIRF about the collection of receiving talent 1211 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 1: that's going to be on display this week? Well, you 1212 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 1: mentioned the name of the guy I think that I'm 1213 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 1: most interested in watching, and that's Hunter Renfro from Cleon, 1214 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 1: who is sort of a viewed as a as the 1215 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 1: enemy here in Alabama Country for what he's done against 1216 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,880 Speaker 1: the Crimson Tide. But he's the guy I'm most interested 1217 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 1: to see and when these practices begin later today, I 1218 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,320 Speaker 1: don't think to answer your question about the general collection 1219 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 1: of receivers, I don't think there's a consensus that this 1220 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 1: is a really good group here, at least at the 1221 00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,080 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. They'll get to the you know, the rest 1222 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 1: of the draft process and find some good some good prospects. 1223 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 1: But I don't think they feel like there's a great 1224 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 1: group of receivers here. Maybe some really some decent ones. 1225 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 1: Offensive line talent, though, appears to be pretty prevalent here. 1226 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,840 Speaker 1: Chris and a lot of people are eager. And by 1227 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,840 Speaker 1: the way, one more thing about receivers, as you know 1228 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 1: you've been here, that's the one one of the major 1229 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 1: groups where you can discern differences between some of those 1230 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 1: prospects here at the Senior Bowl because they line up 1231 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 1: and just go one on one right, try to get 1232 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 1: open against defensive backs. You can really see receivers make 1233 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,439 Speaker 1: place here. So maybe by the end of the week 1234 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 1: we'll have some names that are a little bit more 1235 00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 1: prominent when it comes to receivers who might may make 1236 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 1: in their mark here. But offensive line talent, A lot 1237 00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 1: of people believe this is a really good collection, especially 1238 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:03,640 Speaker 1: of interior of defensive lineman. Guards in particular. Jim Nagi 1239 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: told us he believes that to be the case. Wisconsin 1240 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 1: guard Michael Dieter very highly regarded obviously big ten offensive 1241 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 1: lineman works inside Kent State or Kansas State guard Dalton Risner, 1242 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: a very highly regarded offensive lineman. And again another guard 1243 00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,960 Speaker 1: at a left tackle from Watchington State, Andre Dillard, who 1244 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 1: some believed might be the best offensive lineman here. Those 1245 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 1: would be three of the names that I'm going to 1246 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,400 Speaker 1: get beake even an eye in when the practices begin. 1247 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,480 Speaker 1: Later today, we're with John Murphy down in Mobile, Alabama. 1248 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 1: Are on One Bill's Live with Chris Brown and Steve Tasker, 1249 00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,680 Speaker 1: and we're gonna be down there all week to going 1250 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,880 Speaker 1: back and forth with Murph and Murphy. I was gonna 1251 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 1: ask you, you just spoke with Jim Naggi is the 1252 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 1: executive director of the whole shooting match down there. What's 1253 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 1: been You've been there before, Brownie's been there before. What's 1254 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 1: the atmosphere like? Has it changed under the new regime? 1255 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 1: Brownie said, they did a new you know, they revealed 1256 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 1: the rosters a little differently down there. And with Reese's 1257 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 1: coming on as the sponsor, this is this is pretty 1258 00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,440 Speaker 1: much the mecca of pro football here before the super 1259 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,640 Speaker 1: Bowl in these next couple of week I mean, there's 1260 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 1: everybody is down there getting a look at these guys, 1261 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:07,040 Speaker 1: and most of these players on the rosters are going 1262 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 1: to be with NFL franchises this fall. Yeah, I think 1263 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 1: you're right about that, and I think it's like the 1264 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 1: first step in the personnel evaluation part of the offseason, right. 1265 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 1: You come here and then you know if people take 1266 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 1: a break for the Super Bowl next week, as if 1267 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 1: that's going to be a break at all, and then 1268 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,120 Speaker 1: you get into kind of the workouts and the Combine 1269 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 1: coming up at the end of February, and then individual workouts, 1270 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 1: and then of course the draft at the end of April. 1271 00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,240 Speaker 1: But this really is the first step. I don't know 1272 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 1: if there's a discernible difference between the way that Jim 1273 00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 1: Nage is running it and the way the great Phil 1274 00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,920 Speaker 1: Savage ran it for the last several years. It's very 1275 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 1: much open to the media. It's a good place for 1276 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,800 Speaker 1: media to kind of get in on the ground floor 1277 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 1: with some of these prospects and some of these teams. 1278 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 1: Unlike the Combine, where there's got to be what four 1279 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:54,160 Speaker 1: times as much media, there's not that many media here, 1280 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 1: so you have better access, i think, to NFL decision 1281 00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,479 Speaker 1: makers and a chance to talk to guys, and really 1282 00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: for everybody, it's like the first step along the off season. 1283 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 1: I always the reason I've always enjoyed coming to the 1284 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl was it's the first time you really get 1285 01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 1: to turn the page from last season to this season. 1286 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,640 Speaker 1: This is the first page of the twenty nineteen season 1287 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,360 Speaker 1: starts right here. And as I rattled off those nine 1288 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 1: names of Bill's draft picks from the last two years 1289 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,600 Speaker 1: who were here, it's it's pretty clear that this Bill's 1290 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,920 Speaker 1: a group puts great value in what they see here 1291 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 1: and who they talk to. And they've already started the 1292 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,440 Speaker 1: process last night before these players even get on the field. 1293 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,720 Speaker 1: The Bills a decision making group, Brandon being, Sean McDermott, 1294 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 1: a couple of other scouts before they even saw anybody 1295 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 1: in practice, they had a list of four or five 1296 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 1: players that they talked to in private sessions last night. 1297 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,919 Speaker 1: They've got seven or eight tonight, seven or eight coming 1298 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,280 Speaker 1: up tomorrow, and these interviews are a little bit more 1299 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 1: in depth. I believe in the interviews they'll do it 1300 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,720 Speaker 1: the combine at the end of February. The time constraints 1301 01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 1: don't appear to be as strict. They can spend as 1302 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 1: much time as they need. They don't come in here blind, 1303 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 1: they don't just you know, it's not a grab bag. 1304 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,919 Speaker 1: Take this guy, this guy. They come in here and say, 1305 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 1: we want to talk to these guys. I believe they 1306 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,680 Speaker 1: have a list I want to say about twenty guys 1307 01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,480 Speaker 1: that they'll talk to the next three last night night, tonight, 1308 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 1: and again tomorrow night, Wednesday night. And so those interviews 1309 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,360 Speaker 1: I think go a long way when you talk to 1310 01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 1: the decision makers for the Bills and other teams, and 1311 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 1: those interviews here take place in sort of a relaxed atmosphere. 1312 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 1: I think it's much more relaxed and much less restricted 1313 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,160 Speaker 1: by time than what they get in Indianapolis at the 1314 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 1: end of February. So there was a great quote by 1315 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 1: Jim Naggy yesterday when you know, former scout, the guy 1316 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: who's running this thing now, former scout for the Patriots 1317 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 1: and the Seattle Seahawks, and he talked about, yeah, you know, 1318 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 1: we know who the players out, we know who the 1319 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 1: players are. Now we get to find out who these 1320 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: guys are. And I think he's talking about those nighttime interviews. 1321 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:35,800 Speaker 1: They get to, you know, kind of dive in a 1322 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 1: little bit, talk to these players, get him on the 1323 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 1: chalkboard seat, what they know about football, See how they 1324 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,640 Speaker 1: spawned to questions. It's much more than what they see 1325 01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,800 Speaker 1: on tape, what they've seen on tape during the college 1326 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 1: football season. I think this is the first step towards 1327 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,360 Speaker 1: really getting behind who these people are and who might 1328 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: be a good fit for the Bills and all these 1329 01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,640 Speaker 1: other NFL teams. Yeah. I mean, if memory serves, Josh 1330 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 1: Allen did sit down with the Bills down there last 1331 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 1: year at this time. And you know there will be 1332 01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 1: some Bills news today, Murf. We know that Brandon Bean 1333 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: and coach McDermott are scheduled to address the local media 1334 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,760 Speaker 1: later today, and it will be the first time they 1335 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 1: really comment on, at least coach does on some of 1336 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,760 Speaker 1: his new coaching hires, two of which have been filled 1337 01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 1: in what were two problem areas for the Bills last year, Murf, 1338 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 1: special teams and offensive line play. Yeah, in between practices 1339 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,640 Speaker 1: later today, in between the South practice and the North practice, 1340 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,240 Speaker 1: both head coach Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Bean are 1341 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 1: gonna meet with the local media. We hope to pull 1342 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:32,840 Speaker 1: them aside, maybe get them a little one on one, 1343 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 1: but yeah, there are some questions to be asked. They 1344 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,439 Speaker 1: haven't met with the media since what December thirty first, 1345 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 1: the day after the regular season ended. And as you said, Chris, 1346 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 1: the composition of the coaching staff is always of interest, 1347 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 1: and they've made some pretty big moves a new special 1348 01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,520 Speaker 1: teams coordinator and a new offensive line coach, both of 1349 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 1: whom are in their first job as a full time, 1350 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, full position coach. I'm not sure what they 1351 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,200 Speaker 1: have in mind for wide receiver. I've sort of been 1352 01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,040 Speaker 1: snooping around abound here and basically was told, don't ask. 1353 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I was trying to 1354 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 1: figure out. I was trying to figure out if there's 1355 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,240 Speaker 1: a guy on a current staff who maybe they're waiting for, 1356 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, a staff that's still playing, which now is 1357 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 1: down to uh the Patriots in the Rams. Maybe they're 1358 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 1: waiting for somebody from those staffs. But again I was 1359 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:15,280 Speaker 1: told it's none of your business, don't ask. But that's 1360 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 1: the that's the that's the remaining vacancy on the coaching staff. 1361 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 1: And I do think and I got you know this, 1362 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,560 Speaker 1: I want to talk to Sean McDermott about to me, 1363 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 1: that's maybe not. I'm not going to tell you it's 1364 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,680 Speaker 1: his most important job lining up as coaching staff, but 1365 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,400 Speaker 1: it's top three is what a head coach does as 1366 01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,400 Speaker 1: to what a head coach does, and for McDermott, it 1367 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,000 Speaker 1: means a lot, right as he goes into his third 1368 01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 1: year to get the coaching staff right. Uh, you know, 1369 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:38,720 Speaker 1: he's got a lot on his plate. They all do, 1370 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:40,760 Speaker 1: all these NFL head coaches. They got to make sure 1371 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 1: they hire guys who have the same value set that 1372 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 1: they do in terms of this is how we work, 1373 01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 1: this is how we practice, this is what our expectations are. 1374 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,640 Speaker 1: I don't you know if you look at those those 1375 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 1: at least two of those positions, maybe all three where 1376 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 1: the vacancies were and are now, I would have to 1377 01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 1: say that McDermot probably felt that his coaching said maybe 1378 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 1: came up short. He would probably never say it, but 1379 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 1: I believe they felt they came up short at wide receiver, 1380 01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, making sure that guys were adequately prepared and 1381 01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,439 Speaker 1: ready to line up in the right place. I don't 1382 01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 1: know if he felt that that was always the case. UMM. 1383 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,919 Speaker 1: Not sure exactly what he thought about the offensive line group, 1384 01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 1: but I think he wanted to get better, and so 1385 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,600 Speaker 1: they've filled those two positions. We'll get a chance tomorrow, 1386 01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,440 Speaker 1: I believe, to talk with the new special teams coordinator 1387 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:27,760 Speaker 1: and see where he's at. Interesting stories from especially the 1388 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:33,320 Speaker 1: special teams coach M Hunter. Yeah and um you know, yeah, 1389 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 1: his his background as a player, ten years in the 1390 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,840 Speaker 1: league as a special team or this being his first 1391 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 1: full you know, position group that he's ever worked with. UM. 1392 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 1: Interested to see what he has to say and what 1393 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,520 Speaker 1: he has to bring to this to this coaching staff. 1394 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 1: But as I said, it's critical. It's critical for Sean 1395 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 1: McDermott to get the right guys in place that he 1396 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: can trust and depend on and can and can get 1397 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,080 Speaker 1: players better. I mean you think about what went wrong 1398 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,600 Speaker 1: and some of these position groups where they made the changes. 1399 01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 1: I mean you could say the offensive line maybe the 1400 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 1: fail year was they didn't get better. You know, is 1401 01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 1: Dean Dawkins a better player in a year ago? I 1402 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,680 Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, I don't know that he is. Um 1403 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,520 Speaker 1: Uh did did some Did John Miller make big steps forward? 1404 01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,160 Speaker 1: You'd be hard to say that. I think, UM for 1405 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 1: a lot of them. You know, Ryan Groy a better 1406 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 1: player now than it was a couple of years ago. 1407 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: So you want good teachers and good assistant coaches who 1408 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,280 Speaker 1: can can improve players and get players better. And I'm 1409 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,000 Speaker 1: sure that's part of the consideration for McDermott to make 1410 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 1: the changes he made. All right, Murf, we're gonna keep 1411 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 1: an eye on it. Thank you so much for taking 1412 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 1: a minute with us.

What is the temperature? 1425 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,840 Speaker 1: Do you really want to know? Or we know I'm 1426 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 1: gonna get I'm gonna get it's I'm gonna guess it's 1427 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 1: fifty eight. Okay, all right, that's great Murph. Thanks bye, 1428 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:10,880 Speaker 1: you're not jealousy. We'll talk to you later. Thanks man. 1429 01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 1: John Murphy down in Mobile, alabamam for the Reese's Senior Bowl, 1430 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:15,800 Speaker 1: and some of the stuff he said is true. I 1431 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 1: mean they still have to fill out their staff, and 1432 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,560 Speaker 1: even more so than picking players, because Brandon Bean and 1433 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 1: the scouting staff and the pro personalities assistance that are 1434 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 1: on the staff can go out and look from pick 1435 01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,120 Speaker 1: for players, pick players, but he has got to find 1436 01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,240 Speaker 1: somebody for the wide receiver room. And that's just one 1437 01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,720 Speaker 1: of the whole group of staff that he's trying to assemble. 1438 01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,280 Speaker 1: That really is critical for any head coach. I think 1439 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: that's I think coming out of the this week, if 1440 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 1: we do get an inkling that it might be somebody 1441 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,840 Speaker 1: on one of the staff's New England staff or the 1442 01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 1: LA staff, I can't wait to see who that's going 1443 01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 1: to be. And it's and when you look at the 1444 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,760 Speaker 1: wide receiver coaching position for the Bills, I mean there 1445 01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 1: has been a ton of turnover there. I mean, what 1446 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,160 Speaker 1: is it eight in the last nine seasons. I think 1447 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Sanjay Lal on Rex Ryan's staff is the only guy 1448 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,760 Speaker 1: who has served more than one season for various reasons, 1449 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,640 Speaker 1: coaching regime turnover, or just a coach not getting the 1450 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,960 Speaker 1: job done to the fashion that his head coach wants 1451 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,280 Speaker 1: over the last few coaching staffs, or a coach being 1452 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,240 Speaker 1: reassigned to another position group which has happened that happened 1453 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: under chan Gailey. So you know, a ton of turnover there. 1454 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:23,360 Speaker 1: You gotta believe the candidates look at that stuff and say, 1455 01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:25,280 Speaker 1: it's a job I'd like to have. But man, this 1456 01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 1: turnover here is a little disconcerting. Do I want to 1457 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,320 Speaker 1: be the next guy on that list? And it's nothing 1458 01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:34,320 Speaker 1: against coach McDermott or anything like that. It's just pure facts. 1459 01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just what that position has been in 1460 01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,240 Speaker 1: this organization over the course of for coaching regime. However, though, 1461 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 1: there does seem to be a difference at this point 1462 01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 1: in Bill's history that there's more stability, absolutely down through 1463 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,880 Speaker 1: the bottom there absolutely in the past. So I don't 1464 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:53,440 Speaker 1: think it. I think there is a change in the 1465 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,360 Speaker 1: landscape here in Buffalo with this coaching staff and what 1466 01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,720 Speaker 1: it looks like for the foreseeable next handful of years 1467 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,439 Speaker 1: at least now that you've got a quarterback in place. 1468 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Nowics you've got a head coach who has got his 1469 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,360 Speaker 1: program and his staff, and the GM is stable. The 1470 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,920 Speaker 1: ownership seems to be a group that's ready, ready to 1471 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 1: be patient now with his crew. So I think that 1472 01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 1: does change a little bit how that spot will be perceived. Yeah, 1473 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how it pans out. I mean, 1474 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,080 Speaker 1: Murf was only speculating saying, you know, you wonder if 1475 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:24,320 Speaker 1: it's some lower level assistant on one of the Super 1476 01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 1: Bowl staffs that they might be interested in. And perhaps 1477 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 1: that's why the receiver's coach position has not yet been filled. 1478 01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna bear some watching. Here are what 1479 01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:39,080 Speaker 1: are the reasons why that has not been filled yet 1480 01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,640 Speaker 1: when the other two of the three vacant positions that 1481 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:46,920 Speaker 1: existed have been And of course Murf's trying to do 1482 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,240 Speaker 1: his job and ask questions or you know, poke around 1483 01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:52,680 Speaker 1: a little bit and is well, we're curious, essentially been 1484 01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 1: told that buzz off. He's trying to do his job. Yeah, 1485 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,000 Speaker 1: because they don't. The thing is to the more people 1486 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,519 Speaker 1: who know what's going on, people, I understand why you 1487 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:04,680 Speaker 1: know how it is. I understand because of how it 1488 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,680 Speaker 1: works when you're interviewing a guy and it may be 1489 01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,120 Speaker 1: a guy that's on a staff already in another city, 1490 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,120 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of relationships you got to honor 1491 01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,680 Speaker 1: and be sensitive too. And they don't want to want 1492 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 1: to compromise though, right because listen to the moment again, 1493 01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,400 Speaker 1: I understand the reasons. At the same time, it's our 1494 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,559 Speaker 1: job to ask and if we're told, you know, we'll 1495 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,479 Speaker 1: tell you when it's the right time, then fine. But 1496 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,639 Speaker 1: we're not doing our job if we don't ask, right. 1497 01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 1: And it's funny this too, that you know, when you 1498 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,240 Speaker 1: have a job like this, there are certain people that 1499 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 1: could not care, possibly less about your job is they 1500 01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,639 Speaker 1: don't want to talk to you anyway. All right, somewhere, 1501 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 1: all right, you're with Chris Brown Steve Tasker on One 1502 01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 1: Bills Live. We're here until three o'clock where you just 1503 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,760 Speaker 1: got off the phone or off the alfare with John 1504 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 1: Murphy who's down in Mobile, Alabama. We're gonna hear from 1505 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:49,080 Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson and Anthony Johnson, the UB players who are 1506 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,120 Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl on the South squad. They're going 1507 01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,680 Speaker 1: to be playing quarterback and wide receiver respectively. Theoretically, I 1508 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,559 Speaker 1: would say, the coaching staff down there, I guess it's 1509 01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,639 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. I think you'll probably make those two guys 1510 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 1: get on the field together to showcase their talents. Yeah, 1511 01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,760 Speaker 1: I think that would be fair. You know, there's been 1512 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 1: a couple of instances where that has happened in the 1513 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,880 Speaker 1: past as well. You know, I seem to remember a 1514 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,559 Speaker 1: quarterback receiver combination and now the school and the names 1515 01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 1: are slipping me because when you have one hundred and 1516 01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,599 Speaker 1: fourteen names over the course of a couple of years, 1517 01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to recall all that. But I 1518 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,559 Speaker 1: will say this, Murph is dead on with his point 1519 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,480 Speaker 1: that you can really get a feel for a receiver's 1520 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,840 Speaker 1: talents in those one on one drills with dbs and 1521 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,960 Speaker 1: by the same token, cornerbacks and safeties. When they run 1522 01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 1: those one on one drills, you can really get a 1523 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 1: sense for what players are capable of. I remember two 1524 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:41,479 Speaker 1: years ago when twenty seventeen Senior Bowl, I'm down there 1525 01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 1: watching those one on ones and it was the Zay 1526 01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,880 Speaker 1: Jones and Cooper Cup show. I mean, every day, those 1527 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,880 Speaker 1: two guys were head and shoulders better in terms of 1528 01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,000 Speaker 1: route running than any of the other receiver prospects that 1529 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 1: were there. It wasn't even close. And you know, Cooper 1530 01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:58,800 Speaker 1: cup jumped onto the scene right away and became a 1531 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,600 Speaker 1: productive player for them as a slot receiver for the Rams. 1532 01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,880 Speaker 1: Currently out for the season with an injury knee injury, 1533 01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:06,720 Speaker 1: which is a shame for them. But I think we 1534 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,080 Speaker 1: even saw it. Took Za a little bit longer in 1535 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,599 Speaker 1: his rookie year, but now in year two, we really 1536 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,200 Speaker 1: kind of saw him come on in the second half 1537 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,640 Speaker 1: of the season. And it's funny because I talked to 1538 01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,080 Speaker 1: Z at the end of well, I talked to Za 1539 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,000 Speaker 1: the week down there at the Senior Bowl because he was, 1540 01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,360 Speaker 1: like I said, head and shoulders above the rest. I 1541 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,720 Speaker 1: wanted to talk to him, feel him out. Really impressive 1542 01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,439 Speaker 1: kid when you talk to him for the first time. 1543 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:30,599 Speaker 1: And I talked to him near the end of this 1544 01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,360 Speaker 1: season and I was just kind of half joking with 1545 01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,320 Speaker 1: him when I approached him, and I was like, I 1546 01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,559 Speaker 1: think we're seeing the Senior Bowl Za Jones lately here, 1547 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, thank you, I appreciate that. I go, oh, 1548 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:42,720 Speaker 1: so you're pretty happy with the week you put together 1549 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 1: down there, And he told me that at the beginning 1550 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,519 Speaker 1: of the week. I think it was Sunday or Monday. 1551 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 1: When they arrived down their players, Cooper Cup came up 1552 01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:55,639 Speaker 1: to him and he he told him, in no uncertain terms, 1553 01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:57,679 Speaker 1: he said, you look like a serious guy. He goes, 1554 01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:00,200 Speaker 1: what do you say about you know? You and I 1555 01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 1: kind of studying practice tape, getting in this playbook every 1556 01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,800 Speaker 1: night and kind of mastering this thing, you know, for 1557 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 1: the end of the week. Because Cooper Cup was an 1558 01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:14,840 Speaker 1: Eastern Washington kid FCS Zay Jones smaller school East Carolina, 1559 01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,639 Speaker 1: I think there was a kinship there. There was immediately developed. 1560 01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,680 Speaker 1: Cooper made the ask and Zay was on board, and 1561 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,280 Speaker 1: those two guys studied all week and it showed. It 1562 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,120 Speaker 1: showed all week long, and they they're reaping the benefits 1563 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 1: even now. So there's much more to come from Mobile, Alabama. 1564 01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:31,680 Speaker 1: Peter John, you guys are on the phone.

It's my fall. 1582 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,479 Speaker 1: I haven't gotten to you earlier. You think Tony Romo 1583 01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:32,120 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have Jim Rickoff, who's the producer for 1584 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,840 Speaker 1: the NFL on CBS later. Peter, you have some thoughts 1585 01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:38,439 Speaker 1: about Tony Romo and how he's changing the game with 1586 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:43,400 Speaker 1: his commentary. Yeah, I think he has. We sit here 1587 01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,200 Speaker 1: and watch him and we saw this last year, and 1588 01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,160 Speaker 1: obviously they must like it because it sounds like they're 1589 01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,880 Speaker 1: encouraging him to be like he is, and that is 1590 01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 1: a really enthusiastic fan with a ton of expertise, and 1591 01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 1: he really brings it into the living room. I think 1592 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,280 Speaker 1: he's really gonna change the culture in the booth. I 1593 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,360 Speaker 1: think you're gonna they're gonna look for guys like Tony 1594 01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,559 Speaker 1: Romo and I don't. He just gets you to focus 1595 01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,320 Speaker 1: on the game more, the technical part of it. He 1596 01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,720 Speaker 1: sees the game differently, obviously, is the rest of us 1597 01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,559 Speaker 1: too than the rest of us do? And I just 1598 01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:16,600 Speaker 1: think he's he's what he's doing, it's really good. But 1599 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,680 Speaker 1: here's my question. So Tony Romo sits up in the 1600 01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:23,280 Speaker 1: booth and it looks down at the game board from 1601 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 1: his vanish point, Um, what the coach is seeing? Why 1602 01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 1: only seeing this and no one else? Well, here's the thing, 1603 01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 1: and Peter, it's a good question because it's it becomes obvious, right, 1604 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:36,720 Speaker 1: I mean, if he's doing it, why isn't anybody else 1605 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,400 Speaker 1: doing it? Here's the thing that the coaches probably do. 1606 01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:44,000 Speaker 1: The problem is they can't yell loud enough or get 1607 01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:47,720 Speaker 1: communicated to their own team as fast as the players can. 1608 01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:49,880 Speaker 1: And now you've seen other players at other times be 1609 01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: kind of clairvoyant to that. If you see Luke Keikley 1610 01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:55,080 Speaker 1: play middle linebacker for the Carolina Panthers. He seems to 1611 01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 1: be like that. If you see Ed Reid back in 1612 01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:02,880 Speaker 1: the days when he played, if you see the middle 1613 01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:06,720 Speaker 1: linebacker for the Ravens, that Ray Lewis, who was a 1614 01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:08,600 Speaker 1: little bit clairvoyant in that. You get these guys in 1615 01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 1: the middle of things, and these quarterbacks too, Peyton Manning 1616 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:15,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and it's obvious Tom Brady's thinking exactly what 1617 01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:18,960 Speaker 1: Tony Romo's thinking. So it isn't just Tony Romo being 1618 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:20,720 Speaker 1: up in the booth that has changed it. I think 1619 01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,320 Speaker 1: it's him giving an insight as to how far ahead 1620 01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,439 Speaker 1: most of these coaches and players are. So I think 1621 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,439 Speaker 1: that's what you got to remember. Relaying it to the 1622 01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:31,559 Speaker 1: field though, is almost impossible in the interaction of time 1623 01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,880 Speaker 1: that they have to communicate it, And who knows even 1624 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:36,840 Speaker 1: if you do shout it, if anybody's gonna be able 1625 01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,040 Speaker 1: to hear you. Yeah, last thing of Peter, what do 1626 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 1: you you like the way Tony Romos doing. I get 1627 01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 1: the feeling you do like it, because there will be 1628 01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 1: always be somebody who doesn't. He's brought a real enthusiasm, 1629 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,880 Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, a lot of the commentators 1630 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:54,439 Speaker 1: traditionally have been more monotone, maybe less emotional. I'm with you, 1631 01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:59,360 Speaker 1: so obviously he's not. And I think that translates back 1632 01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,880 Speaker 1: to the fans. It's really enjoying the game, and he's 1633 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,000 Speaker 1: just giving him a whole different look at it. Said, 1634 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,200 Speaker 1: I just like it a lot. I agree with you, Peter, 1635 01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,200 Speaker 1: thanks for calling. I appreciate and that. And he's right. 1636 01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it really is different. And this is a 1637 01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,439 Speaker 1: little bit reminiscent of what it was like when John 1638 01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 1: Madden got into the booth and he got his enthusiasm 1639 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,360 Speaker 1: where he's going boom and wham, and this guy here 1640 01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:18,640 Speaker 1: when he goes back this way, and he gave you 1641 01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,080 Speaker 1: a sense of not only the emotion of the game, 1642 01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:25,160 Speaker 1: but why Sometimes as complex as it is, it's also 1643 01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:31,080 Speaker 1: pretty simple. John Madden made the game simple for Joe fan. 1644 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah almost. But yeah, at the end of it 1645 01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,000 Speaker 1: is almost too simple, right everybody, Well now it's different, Yeah, 1646 01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:40,559 Speaker 1: now it's different. The fan is far more educated. There 1647 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:43,800 Speaker 1: is a far greater knowledge base that the average fan 1648 01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,519 Speaker 1: brings to the table, just because football is so popular 1649 01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:52,600 Speaker 1: and they need more color analysts like Tony Romo to 1650 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 1: take it another step, and that's why I do believe 1651 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:57,600 Speaker 1: that a lot of these networks are going to be 1652 01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,200 Speaker 1: in a mad scramble to find more people like him him. 1653 01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,720 Speaker 1: I fully believe a guy that you guys have had 1654 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 1: on the show several times who's currently working for ESPN 1655 01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:09,880 Speaker 1: right now, Dan Orlovski, the former backup quarterback with a 1656 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:13,200 Speaker 1: couple of teams, chiefly the Lions. He's going to be 1657 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,760 Speaker 1: in one of those one of those chairs, probably in 1658 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:19,080 Speaker 1: the next year or two, if not sooner, because he 1659 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,559 Speaker 1: kind of diagnoses things in much the same way that 1660 01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 1: Tony Romo does. He just does it on social media 1661 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:29,120 Speaker 1: with NFL film and breaks down what happened. I think 1662 01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,559 Speaker 1: he would be capable of executing that type of stuff 1663 01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:35,479 Speaker 1: as well from the color analysts chair. All Right, as 1664 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:36,880 Speaker 1: we're going, I was gonna keep going. We got one 1665 01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:39,360 Speaker 1: more guy. I want to get to and take this call. 1666 01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 1: John's been waiting for a while and am Hurst, John 1667 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:42,920 Speaker 1: and am Hurst, you're with Steve and Chris on One 1668 01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:44,800 Speaker 1: Bills Live. What's on your mind? You have something about 1669 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:50,240 Speaker 1: the overtime rules? Yeah? Why is the NFL the only 1670 01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:54,520 Speaker 1: post sports league that allows a game to be decided 1671 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:59,120 Speaker 1: in overtime without both teams having at least one possession. Well, 1672 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,719 Speaker 1: the one reason this it started out that they didn't 1673 01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:05,000 Speaker 1: want the game to go so long and even into overtime, 1674 01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 1: and it came out it used to be sudden death. 1675 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 1: If you scored even a field goal, it was over, 1676 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,479 Speaker 1: and people went went nuts over it. But the simple 1677 01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,559 Speaker 1: truth of the matter is it was only about a 1678 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:19,479 Speaker 1: fifty Even today in the current rules, fifty five percent 1679 01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,639 Speaker 1: of the teams that win the coin flip when the 1680 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 1: when in overtime, it's not seventy percent, it's fifty five 1681 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,000 Speaker 1: percent of the time, and that means they've got to 1682 01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,360 Speaker 1: score a touchdown to end it. So it's not like 1683 01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,759 Speaker 1: it's lopsided. But it got there through evolution. It didn't 1684 01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,160 Speaker 1: just decide that they were going to decide to do 1685 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 1: it this way. They've tinkered with these overtime rules before, 1686 01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,200 Speaker 1: and I think they were prompted to tweak it a 1687 01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 1: little bit more than maybe they had originally anticipated due 1688 01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,160 Speaker 1: to the popularity of the college overtime system that was 1689 01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,240 Speaker 1: brought in, you know, seven eight years ago. However long 1690 01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:52,240 Speaker 1: it's been a longer than that. But yea, so I 1691 01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 1: think that prompted the NFL to Saron, we've got to 1692 01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:56,800 Speaker 1: do something here. I don't know if we want to 1693 01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 1: go that extreme, but we've got to do something here 1694 01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 1: to piece you know the backlash we're getting for this, 1695 01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:06,240 Speaker 1: But you know, I think there's a player's safety issue 1696 01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: at play here too. I mean, that's the main reason 1697 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,240 Speaker 1: they shortened overtime in the regular season from fifteen minutes 1698 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:16,719 Speaker 1: to ten. Less plays, less risk for injury. You've got 1699 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:20,640 Speaker 1: tired players on a field trying to still play at 1700 01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:25,240 Speaker 1: an intense level, and muscles get fatigued. There's a greater 1701 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 1: risk of injury. Sometimes guys get mentally lazy. Two. You know, 1702 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,800 Speaker 1: they can't stay locked in for that last quarter, that 1703 01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:36,839 Speaker 1: fifth quarter if you will, And you have to believe 1704 01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,280 Speaker 1: they've done the research in terms of injuries cropping up 1705 01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:42,600 Speaker 1: in that extra frame. And so I think there's a 1706 01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 1: player's safety element to some of these overtime rules as well, 1707 01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 1: where they're thinking, look, this defense, it's on you to 1708 01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:52,360 Speaker 1: just keep them out of the end zone. You give 1709 01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 1: up a field goal, your team's still playing. They're gonna 1710 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,439 Speaker 1: get the ball, they're gonna get a chance. But if 1711 01:19:57,439 --> 01:19:58,960 Speaker 1: you can't keep the other team out of the end 1712 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,679 Speaker 1: zone into to win the game. That's how the NFL 1713 01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:03,880 Speaker 1: looks at And thanks for the call, John pre Wrong. 1714 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:07,160 Speaker 1: I appreciate you chiming in, John from Amhurst. We're gonna 1715 01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,200 Speaker 1: we've got something we want to share with you. John 1716 01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,639 Speaker 1: Murphy's down at the Senior Bowl.

Did you know 1749 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:36,679 Speaker 1: when you went to UB that you were in position 1750 01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,519 Speaker 1: to maybe make a move like this? Oh yeah, sah, 1751 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,479 Speaker 1: of course, you know, a big goal of mine when 1752 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,759 Speaker 1: I got to UB was to kind of change the culture. 1753 01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,120 Speaker 1: I mean, as you've seen this year, just having Aj 1754 01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:47,000 Speaker 1: here as well, just having two players from the same 1755 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,080 Speaker 1: team here. It's just a lot of history of being 1756 01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 1: made in Buffalo and it's it's awesome and I'm excited 1757 01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:52,880 Speaker 1: for the guys and a lot of the young guys 1758 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:54,760 Speaker 1: that are gonna come in the future and do the 1759 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,880 Speaker 1: same thing. The way the season started, you be, it 1760 01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,040 Speaker 1: was kind of a magical ride, wasn't it For most 1761 01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,160 Speaker 1: of twenty eight? That was awesome? You know, first ten 1762 01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,840 Speaker 1: one season and school history and the it was just 1763 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:05,960 Speaker 1: awesome to do it with those guys because we were 1764 01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:07,800 Speaker 1: all so close. What do you think about the way 1765 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,679 Speaker 1: it ended? I mean, I'm sure the MEC championship game didn't. 1766 01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:12,920 Speaker 1: That goes what you thought it might. And especially to 1767 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:14,320 Speaker 1: be in command of the game at the end and 1768 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,320 Speaker 1: to see it get away there to be tough. Yeah, 1769 01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:18,840 Speaker 1: you know, every every opportunity you got on that field, 1770 01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:20,840 Speaker 1: winner lost, is the opportunity to learn. You know, I 1771 01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:22,880 Speaker 1: feel like I learned a lot from those last two games. 1772 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:24,760 Speaker 1: It was definitely not the way we wanted to end. 1773 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:26,439 Speaker 1: You know. We put a lot of hard work into 1774 01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:28,800 Speaker 1: it the whole offseason, and you know, it was just tough, 1775 01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:30,960 Speaker 1: especially with the group of seniors we had and the 1776 01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 1: group of guys we had on that team. It was 1777 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:33,840 Speaker 1: just a tough way to end. But you know, now 1778 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm moved on and I'm ready to get it, get 1779 01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,000 Speaker 1: it going on the next level. Your group, your group 1780 01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,360 Speaker 1: of seniors, had no you were not shy about talking 1781 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:42,559 Speaker 1: about getting to a bowl game, winning the conference title. 1782 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,479 Speaker 1: I mean you didn't back away from it, right that 1783 01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:46,719 Speaker 1: was on the table ball along. Yeah, since the summer 1784 01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:49,200 Speaker 1: we were saying those exact goals to media and telling everyone, 1785 01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:50,880 Speaker 1: those are the things we want to accomplish. And you know, 1786 01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:53,120 Speaker 1: we got to both of them. We just couldn't finish. 1787 01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:54,760 Speaker 1: And if you know, at the end of the day, 1788 01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 1: ten one season is a great season. Looking back on it, obviously, 1789 01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,200 Speaker 1: right after the game, you're you're mad you lost. You're 1790 01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 1: mad you you didn't get those two, those two big wins. 1791 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:03,640 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we had a 1792 01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,080 Speaker 1: great season. Your season ended here in Mobile at the 1793 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:07,920 Speaker 1: bowl game. When you were here, did you think I 1794 01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:09,840 Speaker 1: might be back here in a few weeks. Yeah, it's crazy, 1795 01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:11,920 Speaker 1: you know, my my college season ended here and now 1796 01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,680 Speaker 1: my NFL, my NFL career is gonna start here, and 1797 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm just very excited.

I talked 1815 01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:54,280 Speaker 1: to Jordan Palmer a little bit, especially about Josh and 1816 01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,080 Speaker 1: the last year. So he's got kind of a low 1817 01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,360 Speaker 1: key interesting way of coaching, doesn't he he's I don't 1818 01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:00,000 Speaker 1: think he's is he in your face?

He just wants 1821 01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 1: to influence and help guys grow. You know, he's in it. 1822 01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:08,960 Speaker 1: He's in it for the helping.

Nice interview with Tyree Jackson. It'll be interesting 1856 01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:29,840 Speaker 1: to see how many rips he gets in the game 1857 01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 1: and see what the feedback is coming out of those practices. 1858 01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,599 Speaker 1: About what he looks like in comparison, because listen, Brownie, 1859 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:37,280 Speaker 1: you know as well as I do, they can say, well, 1860 01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,639 Speaker 1: he's a third or fourth year guy, third or fourth 1861 01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,760 Speaker 1: round guy, fifth or sixth round guy, firs or second 1862 01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:43,800 Speaker 1: round guy. When they stand him up next to each 1863 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,200 Speaker 1: other and they watch them all throw, that's where you 1864 01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,160 Speaker 1: really find out where these guys are gonna get drafted. Yeah, 1865 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,599 Speaker 1: that's where the rubber meets the road. And you know, 1866 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,040 Speaker 1: let's not forget that there are quarterbacks that are not there, 1867 01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:54,760 Speaker 1: who were in the draft pool who are probably going 1868 01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,120 Speaker 1: to be coming off the board ahead of him, along 1869 01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:59,160 Speaker 1: with a handful of the others that are down there. 1870 01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,200 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how the reps are going to work, 1871 01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,120 Speaker 1: because he's the fifth quarterback that's been added to that 1872 01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:10,600 Speaker 1: South roster. Just getting those guys enough reps, you know, 1873 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,200 Speaker 1: in the practice setting, which is what all these scouts 1874 01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:16,880 Speaker 1: are hoping for, might prove to be the biggest challenge. 1875 01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,160 Speaker 1: Five's a lot, all right, Yeah, for one team, it is, 1876 01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:22,360 Speaker 1: and it's only there's only you know, so many snaps 1877 01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:23,840 Speaker 1: you can take.

Crock is 1913 01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,360 Speaker 1: out wide. Watch the top of her screen, watch the safety. 1914 01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,880 Speaker 1: If he comes down, there's a good chance he's thrown 1915 01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 1: out there. It's pride. For the first time New England's 1916 01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,680 Speaker 1: tried to play action earlier. I can't see it here. 1917 01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:35,720 Speaker 1: This has to be a rude second in Gold to 1918 01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,599 Speaker 1: birk that birk brow to the inside. Hell, I'm super 1919 01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,680 Speaker 1: Bowl do England is heading back that ken for the 1920 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:45,400 Speaker 1: third straight year. Well, there you have it. And all 1921 01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:47,960 Speaker 1: the things that you describe there that that Tony Romo 1922 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:53,080 Speaker 1: described just before the snap, they all happened almost simultaneously, 1923 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:56,280 Speaker 1: and it's it's it's got a lot of people know. 1924 01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:58,400 Speaker 1: It blows a lot of people's minds that he's able 1925 01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,160 Speaker 1: to do that. But believe me, Tony rome was probably 1926 01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:03,240 Speaker 1: not the only guy that can do that. There are 1927 01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:05,840 Speaker 1: some coaches up in the booth on the sidelines that 1928 01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:07,680 Speaker 1: are pulling their hair out wishing they could get out 1929 01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:09,840 Speaker 1: there and yell at their team and tell him it's coming. 1930 01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,679 Speaker 1: But he's just reading the formation, and he's and he's 1931 01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,120 Speaker 1: watched a lot of film of both teams leading up 1932 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:18,080 Speaker 1: to the game, and he knows what those looks mean 1933 01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:21,920 Speaker 1: and he has the ability to translate them for the 1934 01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:25,920 Speaker 1: viewer and say, in all likelihood, this is what's going 1935 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,160 Speaker 1: to happen here, and more often than not, it does. 1936 01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:31,479 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, and not very often for me, 1937 01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:33,640 Speaker 1: but when I was in the booth doing the analyst thing, 1938 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:37,519 Speaker 1: occasionally you would have such a strong sense of what's 1939 01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:39,720 Speaker 1: going to happen, But it also comes down to him. 1940 01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:41,720 Speaker 1: We've got and the reason we bring this up that 1941 01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:43,040 Speaker 1: after the top of the hour, we're gonna have the 1942 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,400 Speaker 1: executive producer of the NFL on CBS. The guy who's 1943 01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,719 Speaker 1: producing those games for Tony and Jim in the booth 1944 01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:50,680 Speaker 1: is Jim Rickoff. He's going to come on with us 1945 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:52,200 Speaker 1: just at the top of the hour here and we're 1946 01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,720 Speaker 1: gonna ask him about it. But the reason it mean 1947 01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:58,080 Speaker 1: you gotta have a lot of guts to go out 1948 01:29:58,120 --> 01:29:59,439 Speaker 1: there and say, hey, this is what I think this is. 1949 01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:01,000 Speaker 1: Look at this up here, and if it goes if 1950 01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:02,400 Speaker 1: he says, hey, they're gonna throw it to Gronk on 1951 01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:03,600 Speaker 1: the outside and all of a sudden they hand it 1952 01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:07,120 Speaker 1: off inside wall, you know, it's a little different, you know, 1953 01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:08,920 Speaker 1: makes you feel like, you know, don't know have a 1954 01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:11,519 Speaker 1: handle on what's going on. But he has no problem 1955 01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:13,320 Speaker 1: just putting it out there. What do you think is 1956 01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:20,439 Speaker 1: the shelf life for Tony being this accurate in predicting 1957 01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,360 Speaker 1: the calls? In other words, my question is how much 1958 01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,799 Speaker 1: does this game morphin change with each year that Tony 1959 01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:30,960 Speaker 1: is removed from the game. As a player where his 1960 01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,280 Speaker 1: level of accuracy may start to wane a bit. Do 1961 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:36,639 Speaker 1: you see the game changing enough to do that. That's 1962 01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:38,599 Speaker 1: a tough question because here's the thing. He was out. 1963 01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,840 Speaker 1: He was never in an offense run by Bill Belichick. 1964 01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:44,439 Speaker 1: He was never in an offense or a defense that 1965 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:46,600 Speaker 1: was called by Bill Bates. I mean, bait, you know, 1966 01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:50,439 Speaker 1: the guy in Kansas City. This is all general film 1967 01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:54,000 Speaker 1: study that he's doing on these offenses and these teams 1968 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,680 Speaker 1: right now. So I don't know if there is a 1969 01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:58,400 Speaker 1: shelf life for it. You know, I don't know that 1970 01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:01,439 Speaker 1: it's going to go away. You can say what you 1971 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:04,360 Speaker 1: want about complicated things and guys getting creative and think, 1972 01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:06,360 Speaker 1: but when it comes down to it and they start 1973 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,360 Speaker 1: changing plays at the line, it becomes about all the 1974 01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,799 Speaker 1: eleven guys that are there. It's the same eleven positions 1975 01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 1: that have been played since the nineteen twenties. You know 1976 01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:17,880 Speaker 1: that that doesn't change. So there's only so many guys. 1977 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:19,680 Speaker 1: Because at the same time, I'm thinking of the guy 1978 01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:21,880 Speaker 1: he replaced, which is Phil Simms, who has now been 1979 01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 1: you know, pushed into a studio role. He wasn't doing that, 1980 01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:29,800 Speaker 1: and he was a good twenty years removed from playing, 1981 01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,479 Speaker 1: and I was just wondering, you know, did the game 1982 01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:35,040 Speaker 1: morphin change to a point where he was incapable of 1983 01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,040 Speaker 1: providing that kind of analysis. I don't know. Listen, all 1984 01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:39,920 Speaker 1: of us evolved in our job, and I'm sure Tony 1985 01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:41,519 Speaker 1: will get may he may get tired of doing that, 1986 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:43,000 Speaker 1: or it may get to the point where he's not 1987 01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:45,560 Speaker 1: right enough for him to keep continue to do it. 1988 01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:47,720 Speaker 1: It's just something that I'm wondering, like, how long is 1989 01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 1: he gonna be able to do that? Because with each 1990 01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:53,599 Speaker 1: passing year that he's removed from, you know, his role 1991 01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:57,200 Speaker 1: as an active participant quarterback probably the most important in 1992 01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:00,519 Speaker 1: terms of a knowledge base that maybe any other position does. 1993 01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:05,200 Speaker 1: His level of being an accurate soothsayer for what's coming 1994 01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:10,200 Speaker 1: based on formation, priest, nap, alignment, look from the defense. 1995 01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:12,080 Speaker 1: Is he going to be able to keep doing that 1996 01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:14,200 Speaker 1: with the success rate that he is right now? Well, 1997 01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:16,519 Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to ask the guy who works 1998 01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,000 Speaker 1: with Tony Romo in the booth, Jim Rickoff, the executive 1999 01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:20,920 Speaker 1: producer of the NFL on CBS, is coming up at 2000 01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:22,840 Speaker 1: the top of the hour. We've also got more sound 2001 01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:26,639 Speaker 1: from the Reese's Senior Bowl down in Mobile Alabama wide 2002 01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,360 Speaker 1: receiver for the ub Bulls this season, Anthony Johnson, who 2003 01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:32,640 Speaker 1: has been regarded as a top wide receiver prospect in 2004 01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:35,799 Speaker 1: this year's draft since the mid season of the college 2005 01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,240 Speaker 1: football season.

Well, you know a little bit 2065 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,160 Speaker 1: of both. We definitely we brought him. You kind of 2066 01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 1: already tweaked things up for the AFC Championship with a 2067 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,040 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of the eight K and four 2068 01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:58,000 Speaker 1: K cameras, which are those really high speed, super slowo cameras, 2069 01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:01,519 Speaker 1: and if you remember a couple of those reviews and challenges, 2070 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,600 Speaker 1: we have like eight angles of them things that we 2071 01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:06,439 Speaker 1: could blow up and you still keep the quality of 2072 01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:09,000 Speaker 1: the picture pretty well. So we have a lot of that. 2073 01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:13,599 Speaker 1: You'll see some more animated graphics, some animated reality graphics 2074 01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:15,800 Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl. We did in them unveiled the 2075 01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:17,880 Speaker 1: AFC Championship, so you'll see a little bit of that. 2076 01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,240 Speaker 1: But basically we have about eighty three regular cameras and 2077 01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:24,200 Speaker 1: over one hundred cameras that couldn't pob so we should 2078 01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:26,960 Speaker 1: have every angle cover. It's money, you know, you still 2079 01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:29,439 Speaker 1: use your core coverage. Probably eighty percent of the time, 2080 01:36:29,880 --> 01:36:31,920 Speaker 1: but all those new angles when you have that maybe 2081 01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,720 Speaker 1: that defining play, you have the defining angle you may 2082 01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:37,000 Speaker 1: only use once, but it could have the best angle 2083 01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:39,719 Speaker 1: of the key play of the game. So we're already 2084 01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:42,280 Speaker 1: we're probably ramped up about seventy percent from the ABC 2085 01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:44,680 Speaker 1: Championship wild a little bit more as we head into 2086 01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:47,439 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So Jim, maybe just to spell out 2087 01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:51,000 Speaker 1: for you know, the average viewer, how do you keep 2088 01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:54,920 Speaker 1: all those cameras from a direction standpoint from turning into 2089 01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:58,280 Speaker 1: a menagerie? You know, it's a great question. I think 2090 01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:01,120 Speaker 1: really I kind of now used like I said, eighty 2091 01:37:01,120 --> 01:37:03,280 Speaker 1: percent of coverage is still your cork coverage that you use. 2092 01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 1: You know, when you're on the A game, you already 2093 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,320 Speaker 1: have about twenty three cameras, right and that that's probably 2094 01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,880 Speaker 1: still eighty percent of your coverage. We have a tape 2095 01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:12,759 Speaker 1: release truck. We have a second truck with a replay 2096 01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,360 Speaker 1: producer and director in there as well, and they kind 2097 01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:18,080 Speaker 1: of take on all the added nuances, all the new cameras, 2098 01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:21,000 Speaker 1: all the like. We have povs underneath the end zone 2099 01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:23,640 Speaker 1: and the you know, and all the uprights where you 2100 01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:26,200 Speaker 1: can any part of those anywhere in that back end 2101 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:28,280 Speaker 1: zone line on the sidelines they have. We have cameras 2102 01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:31,800 Speaker 1: everywhere that hopefully catch one little toneail goes out of bounds, 2103 01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:34,840 Speaker 1: we can see it. So we still watch the core 2104 01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:38,200 Speaker 1: coverage in our main truck, and that secondary truck kind 2105 01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:41,120 Speaker 1: of brings in all the new new camera angles that 2106 01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:43,960 Speaker 1: we have, so that way we can kill still maintain 2107 01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:46,720 Speaker 1: doing the integrity of the regular game. But like I said, 2108 01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:48,719 Speaker 1: that third and fourth angle that might be the defining 2109 01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:51,880 Speaker 1: angle come from that other truck. Well, Jim, you've got 2110 01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:53,960 Speaker 1: you that You've got the job of handling Jim Nance 2111 01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:55,599 Speaker 1: and Tony Romo. There's a lot of things I want 2112 01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:57,280 Speaker 1: to ask you about those two guys. I mean, I've 2113 01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,719 Speaker 1: worked with Jim as well when we were with Phil Simms, 2114 01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,679 Speaker 1: another kind of broadcaster he is. But when you brought 2115 01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:05,120 Speaker 1: Tony Romo straight from the field, you were kind of 2116 01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:08,640 Speaker 1: You're like the only producer he's really worked with, and 2117 01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:10,960 Speaker 1: you kind of broke him in, so to speak, through 2118 01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,479 Speaker 1: all the practice games. And I remember even in this 2119 01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:17,040 Speaker 1: in the seminar two years ago, you were like, man, 2120 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:19,600 Speaker 1: you know, we hope everybody likes what we're seeing. You know, 2121 01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:21,559 Speaker 1: you didn't. There were some question marks about how good 2122 01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:24,519 Speaker 1: Tony was going to be. And then the culmination this 2123 01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,600 Speaker 1: last championship game, when he's gotten so much praise for 2124 01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:29,920 Speaker 1: his ability to be a little bit clairvoyant as to 2125 01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:32,360 Speaker 1: what's going to happen next, you gotta feel really good 2126 01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,880 Speaker 1: about how that's all come down with Tony. Absolutely, it's 2127 01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:38,400 Speaker 1: been a real one of the highlights of my career 2128 01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:40,880 Speaker 1: to work with him and Jim And you know, first 2129 01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:42,920 Speaker 1: and foremost, one of the two things is Tony as 2130 01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:45,160 Speaker 1: a natural. He's one of those guys the many put 2131 01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:47,680 Speaker 1: the headset on, you know, he was kind of like 2132 01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:50,800 Speaker 1: a John Madden or a John mcbroe and tennis, or 2133 01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:53,080 Speaker 1: David Ferity in golf. He's one of those guys that 2134 01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 1: many put the headset on him. Was pretty damn good. 2135 01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:57,920 Speaker 1: And then that point it was teaching the cave. The 2136 01:38:57,960 --> 01:38:59,360 Speaker 1: other great thing he had gone for him is to 2137 01:38:59,439 --> 01:39:02,479 Speaker 1: have Jim Man, you know, by his side as the 2138 01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:06,040 Speaker 1: ultimate professional, so he had some great advantages going in. 2139 01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:08,760 Speaker 1: And after that, you know, we did a lot of rehearsals, 2140 01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, over the summer, did you know, old games 2141 01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:12,840 Speaker 1: and take the audio off and do games, and then 2142 01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:14,240 Speaker 1: we go out to the Hall of Fame game and 2143 01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:16,920 Speaker 1: we did a game and like a basically a deer stand, 2144 01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, which was a lot of fun. But he 2145 01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,559 Speaker 1: honestly the good news, like he's never had another producer, 2146 01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:23,880 Speaker 1: like I said, so he doesn't know if I'm any 2147 01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:27,640 Speaker 1: good or not. So that's as he constantly reminds me. 2148 01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:30,080 Speaker 1: But he's fun and just how he is on the 2149 01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:33,160 Speaker 1: airs as a person's he's authentic, and I think people 2150 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,920 Speaker 1: relate to that. Um you know, I think that, and 2151 01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:37,680 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's got the two key things. He's 2152 01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:41,519 Speaker 1: entertaining and he's informative. He educates in a way that 2153 01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:43,920 Speaker 1: you can relate to, which I think fans really a 2154 01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:46,639 Speaker 1: dear And he's authentic and if you're real, I think 2155 01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:48,920 Speaker 1: that really comes across in the air. People pick it 2156 01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:51,360 Speaker 1: up pretty quickly if they're not. And I think having 2157 01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:53,640 Speaker 1: Jim nance as a partner we put him in a 2158 01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:55,720 Speaker 1: great position to succeed. But I leave it all, you know, 2159 01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:57,559 Speaker 1: I basically try to leave them a lot. At this point. 2160 01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:01,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Jim, I didn't mean to interrupt. I thought 2161 01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:05,200 Speaker 1: you were done there. I'm just wondering how unique you 2162 01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:09,679 Speaker 1: feel the dynamic that Tony brings has kind of changed. 2163 01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:13,040 Speaker 1: Maybe what the what I don't know whether you call 2164 01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:18,519 Speaker 1: it accepted or assumed booth dynamic would look like, because 2165 01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean you've already referenced how he brings his unique 2166 01:40:22,439 --> 01:40:25,200 Speaker 1: expertise in terms of predicting plays and the like, and 2167 01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:28,520 Speaker 1: that is certainly a new layer, you know, to broadcasts 2168 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:33,080 Speaker 1: that we've seen over the years. But his enthusiasm for 2169 01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:38,120 Speaker 1: plays and the genuine excitement that he brings. Most people 2170 01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:40,200 Speaker 1: are used to getting that from the play by play 2171 01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:46,040 Speaker 1: man calling the action, and here's Tony inserting his genuine 2172 01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:50,799 Speaker 1: enthusiasm where he's kind of carrying the tone and tenor 2173 01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:54,320 Speaker 1: of the broadcast as opposed to the play by play guy. 2174 01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:57,240 Speaker 1: How unique is that do you think? Well, like, you 2175 01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:00,320 Speaker 1: can say it's not conventional. Look, I think that's for sure. Yeah. 2176 01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:02,559 Speaker 1: I think in the sum that two summer is going, 2177 01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:06,560 Speaker 1: we worked and Tony's constantly tweaking and kind of you know, 2178 01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:10,040 Speaker 1: kind of you know, coaching himself. And when that summer 2179 01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:12,120 Speaker 1: we would come in, we would do a quarter and 2180 01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:14,280 Speaker 1: we would try different things, and he like, that's not me, 2181 01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:16,519 Speaker 1: it's not me, and then he would do stuff and 2182 01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:18,080 Speaker 1: I get you know, we do something like yeah, you 2183 01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:20,600 Speaker 1: know Tonnis that have formally done and he goes, you 2184 01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:22,920 Speaker 1: know what, that's not bad thing though, you know, and 2185 01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:24,800 Speaker 1: he said that, I'm said, yeah, you know what, You're right. 2186 01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:27,400 Speaker 1: So we both kind of knew that we're going to 2187 01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:30,280 Speaker 1: doing something a little unconventionally. And if you heard some 2188 01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:33,800 Speaker 1: criticisms last year that hears from people by my age 2189 01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:39,280 Speaker 1: football in nineteen seventy five, and it probably wrangles some people, 2190 01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:41,400 Speaker 1: but if you listen to social media or you just 2191 01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:44,160 Speaker 1: talk to kids like my son, you know, people love them. 2192 01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:47,559 Speaker 1: And I think it's because it's authentic. That's a thing 2193 01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:50,320 Speaker 1: why people like him. It's not fake. It's a natural 2194 01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:53,280 Speaker 1: excitement and passion for the football game, which he has, 2195 01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:55,160 Speaker 1: and I think that comes across. So it's not like 2196 01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:58,080 Speaker 1: he's trying to be contrived or can you know, come 2197 01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:00,360 Speaker 1: up with the stuff. He is literally and when you 2198 01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:02,720 Speaker 1: go to dinner, it's the same thing. You know, he's 2199 01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, he's not exciting when he orders dinners, so 2200 01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:07,559 Speaker 1: you know, it's like, that's who he is, and it's 2201 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,040 Speaker 1: just like and I think that translates really well on 2202 01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:12,200 Speaker 1: the air. I think people relate to it, so You're right, 2203 01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:15,320 Speaker 1: it's a little different. We don't have these clearly defined roles. 2204 01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:17,840 Speaker 1: But maybe that's not such a bad thing. I don't 2205 01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:20,040 Speaker 1: think it is, And I think, you know, I think 2206 01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,080 Speaker 1: it'll be interested to see moving forward. I think I 2207 01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:25,160 Speaker 1: saw a little bit already this year that you know, 2208 01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:27,680 Speaker 1: you guys coming in new analysts, new football players, or 2209 01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:32,080 Speaker 1: fore last surprised. If you see create a little bit 2210 01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:33,640 Speaker 1: of a trend that things will don't always be so 2211 01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:36,240 Speaker 1: clearly define what those roles are, it'll be interesting to 2212 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:38,920 Speaker 1: kind of watch to see, how, you know, things unfolded 2213 01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:41,240 Speaker 1: next year or two. We're talking to the executive producer 2214 01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:44,720 Speaker 1: of NFL on CBS, Jim Rickoff, who is producing Super 2215 01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:47,479 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty three with Jim Nance and Tony Romo, and 2216 01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:50,560 Speaker 1: we've been talking about how Tony is enthusiastic and the 2217 01:42:50,640 --> 01:42:53,800 Speaker 1: innovative and maybe unconventional way he does the games, and 2218 01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:55,559 Speaker 1: I just want to give you a chance to maybe 2219 01:42:55,640 --> 01:42:59,120 Speaker 1: to share with people how and I kind of feel 2220 01:42:59,160 --> 01:43:01,960 Speaker 1: this way, Jim Nance is one of a kind broadcaster 2221 01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:04,720 Speaker 1: who does so many things so well, and how he 2222 01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:08,160 Speaker 1: has had to adjust and made it really seamless to 2223 01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:11,800 Speaker 1: do this unconventional dynamic in the booth with Tony Romo, 2224 01:43:12,160 --> 01:43:14,080 Speaker 1: and it really took a lot for Jim nance to 2225 01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:16,280 Speaker 1: adjust to this and be as unselfish as he is 2226 01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:19,120 Speaker 1: to give Tony so much room to do the things 2227 01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:22,120 Speaker 1: he does. I agree with you, Steve. I think that's 2228 01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,519 Speaker 1: maybe the biggest underrating. It's kind of fun for Jim 2229 01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:27,519 Speaker 1: because I think and Jim has said this, you know, 2230 01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,120 Speaker 1: and in prior years, he was kind of the young 2231 01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:32,320 Speaker 1: guy for you know, we started out all the people 2232 01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:35,080 Speaker 1: who worked with Kenvin Surrey, he worked with Pat Summer all, 2233 01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, he worked with Billy Packer, he worked with 2234 01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,200 Speaker 1: Bill Simms. You know, he's always kind of the younger guy. 2235 01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:42,320 Speaker 1: And now he's kind of the more the mentor, and 2236 01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:45,600 Speaker 1: he's really, you know, really adapted to the role. And 2237 01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:47,360 Speaker 1: I think he really enjoys Tony. First of all, I 2238 01:43:47,360 --> 01:43:49,800 Speaker 1: think they're good friends and that comes across from there. 2239 01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:51,680 Speaker 1: They truly like each other, which is a key part 2240 01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:55,920 Speaker 1: of kind of history in that situation. So he's unselfish. 2241 01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:59,200 Speaker 1: I think he realizes that the sum is better than 2242 01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:01,720 Speaker 1: the part, and let allowing Tony to do all the 2243 01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:04,599 Speaker 1: crazy stuff he does and unconventional things he does. It's 2244 01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:06,840 Speaker 1: made Jim better. I think it's been a little you know, 2245 01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:09,080 Speaker 1: reinvigorating for him to have a partner like this, and 2246 01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:12,680 Speaker 1: I think you enjoyed the you know, it's not the 2247 01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:14,639 Speaker 1: same way and getting call of us like Steve, you've 2248 01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:16,840 Speaker 1: done it for years. I've done it for years. Sometimes 2249 01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:18,800 Speaker 1: it's good to get a little Joel. It's kind of like, uh, 2250 01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:21,120 Speaker 1: you guys would do the no huddle up in Buffalo, 2251 01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:24,519 Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's kind of it's exciting, it's 2252 01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:27,160 Speaker 1: fun to do something different. Things don't always have to 2253 01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,760 Speaker 1: be done the same way, and it doesn't mean it's 2254 01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:31,400 Speaker 1: well on the way he used to be or may 2255 01:44:31,479 --> 01:44:35,240 Speaker 1: not be for everyone. But I think when you're told professional, 2256 01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:38,400 Speaker 1: you've got to continue to evolve. And that's what Jim's done. 2257 01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:40,479 Speaker 1: That's what I've had to do, and I think we've 2258 01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:42,519 Speaker 1: both embraced it, and I think the results are that 2259 01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:45,559 Speaker 1: you get a really fun, entertaining telecast that you also 2260 01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:48,120 Speaker 1: get informed as much as any of the other you know, 2261 01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:51,160 Speaker 1: prop time teams. He's that's the important thing. It's not 2262 01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:54,120 Speaker 1: just fun in games and being excited, you're getting you know, 2263 01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:57,000 Speaker 1: I think people equally like how much information and how 2264 01:44:57,040 --> 01:44:59,439 Speaker 1: well they're being you know, see the games or Tony's eyes. 2265 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,080 Speaker 1: So I think it's a great combination. Knowing Jim, you 2266 01:45:03,120 --> 01:45:04,880 Speaker 1: know that you've obviously got an ear to the ground 2267 01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:07,880 Speaker 1: as to what you know, the final product's going to 2268 01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,400 Speaker 1: be when you guys hit the air on Super Bowl Sunday. 2269 01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:15,720 Speaker 1: What can fans maybe anticipate with respect to some of 2270 01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:19,599 Speaker 1: the narratives you guys are going to be tracking, covering, 2271 01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:24,320 Speaker 1: pre producing, you know, for the Super Bowl broadcast. Well, Chris, 2272 01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:26,760 Speaker 1: obviously the big thing is that you have the kind 2273 01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:30,040 Speaker 1: of like we have. It's a great age difference between 2274 01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:32,160 Speaker 1: both they could not only with the quarterbacks, but although 2275 01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:34,360 Speaker 1: with the head coaches may if you look at the 2276 01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:38,880 Speaker 1: number of playoff experiences super Bowl games coached, this basic age, 2277 01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:41,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's amazing. I think a lot of people 2278 01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:44,000 Speaker 1: be caught up into that. I think, you know, like anything, 2279 01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:46,600 Speaker 1: I would say, the pictures are like the Yankees, you know, 2280 01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:48,439 Speaker 1: or the Celtics or there's you know, there's some people 2281 01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:49,960 Speaker 1: are going to love you or hate you, but people 2282 01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:52,080 Speaker 1: are gonna, you know, want to watch the game. So 2283 01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:54,640 Speaker 1: I thre's people that love Tom Brady and lucipell Check 2284 01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:57,439 Speaker 1: and there's people that probably are on the other side 2285 01:45:57,479 --> 01:45:59,920 Speaker 1: of that. But I think the Rams are kind of 2286 01:45:59,920 --> 01:46:02,080 Speaker 1: a good fun you know, kind of a young team. 2287 01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:04,200 Speaker 1: You know, they've got some great veterans as well. I 2288 01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:06,439 Speaker 1: think people are excited to see that. I think we 2289 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,200 Speaker 1: were fourteenet and the championship PLAYERFF gave you had four 2290 01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:11,560 Speaker 1: teams that you could have made an argument any of 2291 01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:14,680 Speaker 1: the matchups would have been great. Yeah. So I think 2292 01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:18,519 Speaker 1: the Rams and you have two exciting offenses, there'll be 2293 01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:20,680 Speaker 1: a lot of points scored. So I think basically the 2294 01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:22,400 Speaker 1: narratives are setting up. You know, you have a guy 2295 01:46:22,439 --> 01:46:24,760 Speaker 1: who's arguing me the greatest of all time. You have 2296 01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:26,679 Speaker 1: one of the really good young quarterbacks in the league. 2297 01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:29,400 Speaker 1: That's a great matchup in itself. You've got one of 2298 01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:33,000 Speaker 1: one of the probably in my opinion, maybe the greatest 2299 01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,559 Speaker 1: coach of all times, right up there in the top five. 2300 01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:37,719 Speaker 1: He's on he's on Mount Rushmore to say the least. 2301 01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:40,720 Speaker 1: And now you have this young kid that you look 2302 01:46:40,720 --> 01:46:43,360 Speaker 1: at every every head coach that was, you know, hired 2303 01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:45,519 Speaker 1: so far in the off season. He had some guys 2304 01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:49,000 Speaker 1: he's like everyone who was at some relationship with with 2305 01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:53,040 Speaker 1: Sean that was McVeigh so part of the that's a 2306 01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:56,000 Speaker 1: natural attraction there too. I think people are really excited 2307 01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:57,800 Speaker 1: to see those two minds go against each other. So 2308 01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:00,640 Speaker 1: I think there's some really compelling storyline. And then when 2309 01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:02,120 Speaker 1: the game starts, you don't know how it's all going 2310 01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:04,600 Speaker 1: to come out. You know, it's you just don't know 2311 01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:06,879 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, So you gotta be buttoned down but flexible. 2312 01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:08,840 Speaker 1: You go in there with a game plan, you see 2313 01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:12,000 Speaker 1: these obvious storylines, and then hey, a football game breaks out, 2314 01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:13,519 Speaker 1: and once the game gets talks, you just don't know 2315 01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:15,559 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And that's what's so much fun 2316 01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:18,759 Speaker 1: about doing live sports. He is Jim Rickoff, executive producer 2317 01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:21,240 Speaker 1: for the NFL on CBS, and he's joined us here 2318 01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,240 Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live. Jim, thank you so much for 2319 01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:25,400 Speaker 1: being with us. Good luck down in Atlanta. I don't 2320 01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,439 Speaker 1: know when you're gonna get there, but it can't come 2321 01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:29,840 Speaker 1: soon enough for me. We'll look forward to crossing paths 2322 01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:32,400 Speaker 1: down there. Thanks for being on with us. Steve, thanks 2323 01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:34,320 Speaker 1: so much. I just say one thing out of all 2324 01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:36,280 Speaker 1: the guys I work with there, Chris there, the guy 2325 01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:38,599 Speaker 1: sitting next to you is with the all consummate pro Oh, 2326 01:47:38,640 --> 01:47:42,160 Speaker 1: you don't have to tell me, Jim most probably the 2327 01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:44,600 Speaker 1: most well liked guys Stebs, Steve. Thanks a lot and 2328 01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:46,439 Speaker 1: hopefully I'll see you down at Atlanta. All right, Jim, 2329 01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:49,040 Speaker 1: thank you so much. I appreciate it. Gonna be producer. 2330 01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:51,599 Speaker 1: He's gonna be producing Super Bowl fifty three. He's been 2331 01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:55,280 Speaker 1: a part of the major broadcast of CBS since nineteen 2332 01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:58,320 Speaker 1: ninety eight. He works very closely with Jim Nance and 2333 01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:03,360 Speaker 1: Tony Room, Tony Romo, who He's right, It wasn't it 2334 01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:06,559 Speaker 1: isn't conventional, unconventional, and I think he had a tippy 2335 01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:08,000 Speaker 1: on this. The kind of guy Jim is. I know, 2336 01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:10,040 Speaker 1: I worked with him for more than a handful of 2337 01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:14,240 Speaker 1: years with CBS on a week to week basis. You 2338 01:48:14,320 --> 01:48:16,080 Speaker 1: gotta have some courage to go out there and say, 2339 01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:19,479 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna do this different. And they did 2340 01:48:19,520 --> 01:48:21,160 Speaker 1: it and it really worked well for him and this 2341 01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:24,760 Speaker 1: Tony Romo thing. It'll be interesting to see the ripple effects, yeah, 2342 01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:27,080 Speaker 1: and whether it does. You know, there's an element to 2343 01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:29,920 Speaker 1: bringing a new guy on where you have to let 2344 01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:35,000 Speaker 1: him experiment in those practice settings that you reference Steve, 2345 01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:40,519 Speaker 1: because that's how a person who's new in that field 2346 01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:45,760 Speaker 1: finds their voice, ultimately their style of delivering the game 2347 01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:50,799 Speaker 1: through their viewpoint, through their lens to the mass audience, 2348 01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:56,800 Speaker 1: and absent those opportunities to experiment and maybe go off here, 2349 01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,640 Speaker 1: decide this doesn't work, let me try this. Oh, this 2350 01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:03,839 Speaker 1: feels comfortable. This feels like me. I think, as Jim outline, 2351 01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:08,960 Speaker 1: they gave Tony the latitude to do some of those things, 2352 01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:12,280 Speaker 1: and we see what the end result is because now 2353 01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:15,800 Speaker 1: it's very clear that he's kind of found where he 2354 01:49:16,040 --> 01:49:20,080 Speaker 1: feels most comfortable in his delivery of a broadcast, in 2355 01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:23,559 Speaker 1: his diagnosis of a game, or heck, even a play 2356 01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:25,720 Speaker 1: in a given point. And again, the interesting thing is 2357 01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:27,960 Speaker 1: too and here's the thing. You're right, CBS was very 2358 01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:29,720 Speaker 1: patient with me and early in my career to give 2359 01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:31,559 Speaker 1: me a chance to do exactly what you said, find 2360 01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:33,639 Speaker 1: my comfort level of where I want to do a game, 2361 01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:35,040 Speaker 1: of how I sent wanted to sound like and what 2362 01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:37,040 Speaker 1: I wanted it to feel in the booth. And the 2363 01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:39,439 Speaker 1: benefit has been that Tony has done it, and it 2364 01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:43,040 Speaker 1: has been it's so entertaining. His spot and his comfort 2365 01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:44,800 Speaker 1: level and what he likes to do in the game 2366 01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:49,640 Speaker 1: is so entertaining and so casual and enthusiastic and comfortable. 2367 01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:52,680 Speaker 1: It makes people feel all of those things when they 2368 01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:54,240 Speaker 1: watch him do the game. And I think it's been 2369 01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:57,240 Speaker 1: I think, you know, CBS was rewarded for their patience 2370 01:49:57,320 --> 01:49:59,559 Speaker 1: and their ability to have a little bit of courage 2371 01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:01,760 Speaker 1: at risk. You know what, we're gonna see if we 2372 01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:04,080 Speaker 1: can do it, because I can tell you, I told 2373 01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:06,000 Speaker 1: you they didn't know it was actually going to be 2374 01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:07,479 Speaker 1: received this. They knew it was going to be a 2375 01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:09,760 Speaker 1: little unconventional, but they didn't know it was going to 2376 01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:11,560 Speaker 1: be received as well as it was, because you never know. 2377 01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:14,439 Speaker 1: And certainly they've been rewarded for well. And plus he 2378 01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:16,560 Speaker 1: didn't know how successful Tony was going to be and 2379 01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:20,040 Speaker 1: doing what he does. I mean, yes, he has unquestioned 2380 01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:23,559 Speaker 1: expertise in terms of knowing the game and xs and ohs, 2381 01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:27,760 Speaker 1: But you are rolling the dice when you're you know, 2382 01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:30,680 Speaker 1: calling what you think is going to happen. Granted, his 2383 01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:35,280 Speaker 1: level of risk is considerably smaller than any Tom Dick 2384 01:50:35,320 --> 01:50:37,880 Speaker 1: or Harry trying to do the same thing, but still 2385 01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:41,400 Speaker 1: in all there's a risk element involved there, especially if 2386 01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:44,320 Speaker 1: he is not on the money most of the time. Yeah, well, 2387 01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:46,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you what. We've got a call Harvey 2388 01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:49,200 Speaker 1: from California's Online.

You know. I was 2398 01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:21,080 Speaker 1: watching the other day and they tend to bully. I mean, 2399 01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:24,200 Speaker 1: like I was watching the other day. This guy was 2400 01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:28,280 Speaker 1: hanging all over Sammy Watkins. Watkins missed the ball and 2401 01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:31,400 Speaker 1: he says, oh, Ratkins ran the wrong we're oute or 2402 01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:34,040 Speaker 1: the passers through it in the wrong place. They don't 2403 01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:37,040 Speaker 1: give any respect to the guys who are out there 2404 01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:40,240 Speaker 1: working in the in the ditches, you know, really doing 2405 01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:43,320 Speaker 1: their job and working art. Which in that respect, which 2406 01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:47,559 Speaker 1: guy are you talking about? You mean, as far as 2407 01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:50,840 Speaker 1: the actual announcers. Oh yeah, I'm talking about the No, 2408 01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the guys they're talking about in the field. 2409 01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, are you talking about Sammy Watkins doing the 2410 01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:56,760 Speaker 1: job in the ditches or the defender doing his job 2411 01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:58,719 Speaker 1: in the ditches? Who are Who are the announcers missing 2412 01:51:58,760 --> 01:52:02,200 Speaker 1: out on? They don't give the defender enough crib? How 2413 01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:04,320 Speaker 1: there you go? Yeah, I got you, Yeah, I get 2414 01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:06,920 Speaker 1: your Harvey, You're right. Here's the thing, too, do you 2415 01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:09,560 Speaker 1: are you bummed Harvey that the league is slowly but 2416 01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:14,559 Speaker 1: surely and undeniably headed towards more offense, more offense, more offense, 2417 01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:17,680 Speaker 1: and the defense is you know, sooner or later they're 2418 01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:21,760 Speaker 1: gonna tie one hand behind the defenders back. Definitely, I am, 2419 01:52:22,320 --> 01:52:25,280 Speaker 1: because I feel it's kind of like basketball where he 2420 01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:27,240 Speaker 1: put the three pointer in there and it took it 2421 01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:30,160 Speaker 1: out of the hands of the coaches. You can't poach 2422 01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:33,200 Speaker 1: under the basket anymore. It's all about throwing that three pointer, 2423 01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:35,760 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I get you. Yeah. The basketball has 2424 01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:37,880 Speaker 1: come out away from the basket a lot because of 2425 01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:40,120 Speaker 1: the three point line. You're right, and it has changed it. 2426 01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:43,840 Speaker 1: I don't know that, and they I think football has 2427 01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,240 Speaker 1: always been a league and a team in a game 2428 01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:49,120 Speaker 1: that has it, particularly at the NFL level, has evolved, 2429 01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:52,120 Speaker 1: and it has done so pretty steadily. They tinker with 2430 01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:54,400 Speaker 1: the rules every year, and I get I get your Harvey. 2431 01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:58,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard for the announcers to notice how 2432 01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:00,320 Speaker 1: good a defender is playing. When it does, it looked 2433 01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:02,759 Speaker 1: like the defenders able to even do anything, let alone 2434 01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:05,360 Speaker 1: play well. Yeah, Well, the game has come a long 2435 01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:08,720 Speaker 1: way since a guy named buckets Hurst was bumping up 2436 01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:13,120 Speaker 1: against Jim Brown. Yes, it had, Harvey. Hey, Harvey, thanks 2437 01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:16,240 Speaker 1: for calling. I appreciate you. That's great from California.

Yeah? 2535 01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:34,800 Speaker 1: I had a hamstring like the second or third game 2536 01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:37,000 Speaker 1: that kind of trailed through the season, But I ended 2537 01:57:37,040 --> 01:57:39,600 Speaker 1: up pushing through it and then fight. Did Do you 2538 01:57:39,680 --> 01:57:42,240 Speaker 1: think that impacted what NFL teams might think of you, 2539 01:57:42,360 --> 01:57:44,960 Speaker 1: the injuries that you dealt with dispatching, I mean in 2540 01:57:45,120 --> 01:57:46,880 Speaker 1: terms of deer production, what you might have been able 2541 01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:48,720 Speaker 1: to do. I mean, I'm not sure that. I mean, 2542 01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:50,120 Speaker 1: they know what I'm capable of when I'm healthy, So 2543 01:57:50,240 --> 01:57:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't too worried about affected me. You know, 2544 01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:54,760 Speaker 1: I just know when I go out there, I was 2545 01:57:54,800 --> 01:57:57,080 Speaker 1: giving my all and playing through things. I only can 2546 01:57:57,120 --> 01:57:59,839 Speaker 1: control what I control, So you know, at that standpoint, 2547 01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just being me and just doing what 2548 01:58:01,720 --> 01:58:04,440 Speaker 1: I can. You and your UB team gets a chance 2549 01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:07,480 Speaker 1: on a pretty regular basis to practice inside the ad 2550 01:58:07,480 --> 01:58:10,760 Speaker 1: Pro Sports Training Center. What goes through your team's mind? 2551 01:58:10,800 --> 01:58:12,520 Speaker 1: When you get out there, it's an NFL facility. It 2552 01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:14,880 Speaker 1: kind of looks like it right first year, know, just 2553 01:58:15,200 --> 01:58:17,320 Speaker 1: getting out of the coal, you know, that's a real call, 2554 01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, probably the hardest thing. We had to adjust 2555 01:58:20,160 --> 01:58:23,000 Speaker 1: to the prices in that coal, you know, the snow sometimes. 2556 01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:25,520 Speaker 1: But it was great being to get useful. Like I said, 2557 01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:26,920 Speaker 1: get used to the numbers. So I feel like I 2558 01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:29,480 Speaker 1: have a big advantage out here and I'm already used 2559 01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:31,000 Speaker 1: to like the numbers. You gotta have, like the hashes 2560 01:58:31,040 --> 01:58:32,720 Speaker 1: and things. I feel like it went just a pretty 2561 01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:36,120 Speaker 1: well um the year itself, all the winning and then 2562 01:58:36,200 --> 01:58:38,040 Speaker 1: the kind of tail off at the end of the year. 2563 01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:40,040 Speaker 1: Tell me about the MAC championship came in the loss 2564 01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:42,360 Speaker 1: of Northern Illinois. I mean, you know, we had a 2565 01:58:42,400 --> 01:58:44,400 Speaker 1: good run. You know, I feel like we didn't we 2566 01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:47,560 Speaker 1: took the took out gas prot off. You know, we 2567 01:58:47,640 --> 01:58:49,200 Speaker 1: slowed down a little bit, and I feel like we 2568 01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:50,800 Speaker 1: should just, you know what I'm saying, pushed down a 2569 01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:53,000 Speaker 1: little bit more. But you know, the end of the day, 2570 01:58:53,240 --> 01:58:55,240 Speaker 1: we did what we could and we fell short, you know, 2571 01:58:55,320 --> 01:58:57,000 Speaker 1: disappointing though I wanted to win. I never want a 2572 01:58:57,080 --> 01:58:59,240 Speaker 1: championship with day in my life when we fell short. 2573 01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:00,800 Speaker 1: So I'll still doesn't want a little bit about that. 2574 01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:03,000 Speaker 1: And one kind of got away right in the fourth quarter. Yeah, 2575 01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:05,560 Speaker 1: I thought we left that one go ourselves. Yeah, how 2576 01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:07,840 Speaker 1: is it to stick to it and get ready for 2577 01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:09,960 Speaker 1: a bowl game after that? When your chances of the 2578 01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:12,880 Speaker 1: conference championship are gone? It's so difficult to keep going 2579 01:59:12,880 --> 01:59:15,480 Speaker 1: to practice, keep working like that. I mean it's frustgrating, 2580 01:59:15,480 --> 01:59:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, like that's a that's part of the key 2581 01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:19,360 Speaker 1: thing we uh, we want to play for one football 2582 01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:21,520 Speaker 1: college level. You know, everybody wants to win a championship. 2583 01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:23,320 Speaker 1: You know, not too many guys get the opportunity to 2584 01:59:23,400 --> 01:59:26,400 Speaker 1: win that. So that championship at lost kind of heard 2585 01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:28,080 Speaker 1: a lot of guys. Some guys know they didn't want 2586 01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:30,720 Speaker 1: to play for the next bowl game. But you know, 2587 01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:32,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's part of being a team. We gotta 2588 01:59:32,440 --> 01:59:34,040 Speaker 1: be to push each other up and get everybody back 2589 01:59:34,040 --> 01:59:35,720 Speaker 1: on track to play the next game. And you came 2590 01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:38,360 Speaker 1: down here for the Dollar General Bowl against Troy. What 2591 01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:40,360 Speaker 1: was that week like getting ready for the ball game? Down? 2592 01:59:41,080 --> 01:59:43,160 Speaker 1: It was pretty decent. You know, we were focused. By 2593 01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:44,840 Speaker 1: the time we got down here. Everybody was hype. You 2594 01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:47,880 Speaker 1: know who was pretty on track with everything ready to 2595 01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:50,520 Speaker 1: go and get things going. So now worth three or 2596 01:59:50,560 --> 01:59:52,240 Speaker 1: four weeks after that? What have you done since then 2597 01:59:52,320 --> 01:59:55,760 Speaker 1: to get ready for the draft process? Here? Uh after? 2598 01:59:55,840 --> 01:59:58,400 Speaker 1: Like three days after left Buffalo, you know, I started 2599 01:59:58,440 --> 02:00:01,080 Speaker 1: trying to ride away down to Pennsalcola, Xos. I got. 2600 02:00:01,160 --> 02:00:03,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to get things going right right away. I 2601 02:00:03,280 --> 02:00:04,960 Speaker 1: ain't want to be at home just sitting around, you know, 2602 02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,240 Speaker 1: I'd like to get my job doing, get work, and 2603 02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:08,920 Speaker 1: I got things to improve on, so I wanted to 2604 02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:11,200 Speaker 1: attack that right away.

I've 2609 02:00:19,960 --> 02:00:21,760 Speaker 1: looked up your forty, you tell me. At last, I 2610 02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:24,640 Speaker 1: think the best un right side was four or five? Four? 2611 02:00:24,760 --> 02:00:27,080 Speaker 1: Is that about where you're at? Or yeah, somewhere around there? 2612 02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:29,320 Speaker 1: Or lower? Where do you want to get?

So I feel like I'll get 2616 02:00:36,160 --> 02:00:38,000 Speaker 1: some more around now, because that's big, right, I mean 2617 02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:39,840 Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks here moving into the 2618 02:00:39,920 --> 02:00:43,560 Speaker 1: combine into private workouts, they're gonna put the clock on. Yeah, 2619 02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:45,959 Speaker 1: I'm ready to write. You know, I feel like I'm 2620 02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:48,000 Speaker 1: counted out a little bit awesome guys that I'm gonna 2621 02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:49,800 Speaker 1: run a lot lower. But you know, I feel like 2622 02:00:49,840 --> 02:00:52,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna shock the world what I run and I'm 2623 02:00:52,040 --> 02:00:53,960 Speaker 1: ready to uh go out there improve it.

I mean, all these guys 2654 02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:05,560 Speaker 1: throw so much importance to this. It's a big moment 2655 02:02:05,600 --> 02:02:08,200 Speaker 1: for them, even though for you know me and you 2656 02:02:08,240 --> 02:02:10,080 Speaker 1: know three weeks from now, it's going to be like yeah, yeah, 2657 02:02:10,080 --> 02:02:12,320 Speaker 1: okay was a senior Bowl kind of thing. But for them, 2658 02:02:12,400 --> 02:02:14,640 Speaker 1: they pour all their heart and soul into this week. Well, 2659 02:02:14,720 --> 02:02:17,560 Speaker 1: whether you were a high school athlete or a college athlete, 2660 02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:19,720 Speaker 1: if you can remember back to the time when you 2661 02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:24,800 Speaker 1: were in it, your scope was really narrow, really narrow. 2662 02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:27,840 Speaker 1: I mean, outside of getting a class on time and 2663 02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:31,360 Speaker 1: trying to make sure your GPA was good, it was 2664 02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:34,000 Speaker 1: whatever sport you were playing too, that was I mean, 2665 02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:36,680 Speaker 1: that was the scope of you as an athlete at 2666 02:02:36,720 --> 02:02:40,760 Speaker 1: age eighteen nineteen twenty years old. The scope was very narrow, 2667 02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:43,720 Speaker 1: and that stuff meant the world to you. Yeah, every 2668 02:02:44,400 --> 02:02:47,320 Speaker 1: game of your high school career seemed like it was 2669 02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:49,760 Speaker 1: the most important thing ever in the history of the world. 2670 02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:52,640 Speaker 1: And even though in college too, and college is the 2671 02:02:52,720 --> 02:02:55,760 Speaker 1: same way, and certainly you know, as you're growing up 2672 02:02:55,800 --> 02:02:58,600 Speaker 1: I went to a community college, just like Anthony Johnson did. 2673 02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:04,320 Speaker 1: You tend to see it and through the prism of 2674 02:03:04,400 --> 02:03:06,560 Speaker 1: how it's going to affect what people think about you, 2675 02:03:06,680 --> 02:03:08,400 Speaker 1: and what people think about you has a lot to 2676 02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:10,920 Speaker 1: do with where you're going to play next. And that's 2677 02:03:11,120 --> 02:03:13,040 Speaker 1: kind of the frame of mind all these young guys 2678 02:03:13,080 --> 02:03:15,600 Speaker 1: are in and bloodlines don't make no mistake about this. 2679 02:03:16,280 --> 02:03:21,760 Speaker 1: NFL bloodlines matter to NFL personnel offices. Not a huge amount, 2680 02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:25,120 Speaker 1: but they matter whether it's a father's son kind of thing. 2681 02:03:25,360 --> 02:03:27,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the Matthews family is probably the 2682 02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:30,360 Speaker 1: biggest one that comes to mind. But this guy's got 2683 02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:34,760 Speaker 1: three cousins in the NFL, including Jadeveon Clowney, Who's I 2684 02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:36,800 Speaker 1: mean you know, I mean he went to the same 2685 02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:38,920 Speaker 1: high school a Stefind Gilmore down there in rock Hill 2686 02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:41,280 Speaker 1: South Point, which is usually in the running for the 2687 02:03:41,320 --> 02:03:43,840 Speaker 1: state title almost every year just by virtue of the 2688 02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:48,160 Speaker 1: ridiculously talented kids that come through that school district. I mean, 2689 02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:53,400 Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney was one of Gilmour's high school teammates. Stefan's 2690 02:03:53,560 --> 02:03:56,920 Speaker 1: younger brother went there, Stephen. I think he's playing lower 2691 02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:00,160 Speaker 1: level college. Anthony Johnson obviously went through there. So just 2692 02:04:00,240 --> 02:04:02,440 Speaker 1: think about the last ten years alone at South Point. 2693 02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:05,640 Speaker 1: It's some of these high schools down there, they're like 2694 02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:08,960 Speaker 1: football factories in terms of churning out talent like this, 2695 02:04:09,080 --> 02:04:11,880 Speaker 1: and Anthony Johnson is the latest installment. We're gonna get 2696 02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:13,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of You're gonna get a chance to look 2697 02:04:13,360 --> 02:04:15,040 Speaker 1: at a lot of those guys like that at the 2698 02:04:15,280 --> 02:04:17,240 Speaker 1: Reese's Senior Bowl. Murph is going to be down there 2699 02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:18,800 Speaker 1: all week. You and I are here, and now it's 2700 02:04:18,840 --> 02:04:21,640 Speaker 1: time brownie for you and me. Is our first chance 2701 02:04:21,760 --> 02:04:23,560 Speaker 1: ever this week, we're gonna do this problem and maybe 2702 02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:25,480 Speaker 1: do this every week every day this week. I don't know, 2703 02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:27,600 Speaker 1: I like NFL true and false. I kind of like 2704 02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:30,600 Speaker 1: NFL true false. So we're gonna start getting going all right, 2705 02:04:30,720 --> 02:04:34,800 Speaker 1: NFL true false. Number one Patriots Chiefs showed us the 2706 02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:38,640 Speaker 1: NFL overtime rules are terrible. True or false. Brand, I'll 2707 02:04:38,680 --> 02:04:40,960 Speaker 1: let you go first. That's false. I mean it's like 2708 02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:43,839 Speaker 1: I said earlier in the show, Steve, a game doesn't 2709 02:04:43,960 --> 02:04:46,919 Speaker 1: end on a field goal scored on the first possession. 2710 02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,520 Speaker 1: So if the if all the Chiefs defense has to 2711 02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:52,360 Speaker 1: do is keep the Patriots out of the end zone, 2712 02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:54,400 Speaker 1: and they give their team a chance with the ball right, 2713 02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:57,640 Speaker 1: keep them out of the end zone, and you know what, 2714 02:04:58,040 --> 02:04:59,800 Speaker 1: I gotta bring this up real quick, go ahead. So 2715 02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:04,520 Speaker 1: so my answer for this is false, but real quick, 2716 02:05:04,720 --> 02:05:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm watching that game, and I'm watching the Chiefs call 2717 02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:11,440 Speaker 1: plays defensively. We're hearing Romo in our ear telling us 2718 02:05:11,440 --> 02:05:15,120 Speaker 1: they better double Edelman here. They never doubled Edelman number one, 2719 02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:18,640 Speaker 1: number two? What is it at the end? A ten 2720 02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:21,840 Speaker 1: eleven play scoring drive by the Patriots as soon as 2721 02:05:21,880 --> 02:05:24,960 Speaker 1: they get first in goal. There's a lot of hands 2722 02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:28,040 Speaker 1: on hips. Aren't you calling time out? Give your defense 2723 02:05:28,080 --> 02:05:31,440 Speaker 1: a break, kind of save up the last ounces of 2724 02:05:31,600 --> 02:05:34,200 Speaker 1: energy that you might have to try to make a 2725 02:05:34,280 --> 02:05:37,080 Speaker 1: goal line stand and force a field goal. And they 2726 02:05:37,200 --> 02:05:40,440 Speaker 1: even call time out for their guys. I just don't. 2727 02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:44,360 Speaker 1: I know it's easy to play armchair play caller, but 2728 02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:50,560 Speaker 1: I just really think the Chiefs defensive coaching staff at 2729 02:05:50,680 --> 02:05:54,680 Speaker 1: times in that game, especially in the overtime, did their 2730 02:05:55,040 --> 02:05:59,080 Speaker 1: defense a disservice. They didn't help them enough. In my opinion, 2731 02:05:59,320 --> 02:06:01,440 Speaker 1: I agree, and and I think that there's nothing wrong 2732 02:06:01,480 --> 02:06:02,840 Speaker 1: with the rules. And I think the one thing that 2733 02:06:02,880 --> 02:06:05,640 Speaker 1: people were enraged about was listen. It was a great game, 2734 02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:08,080 Speaker 1: and you got to see two quarterbacks doing a lot 2735 02:06:08,120 --> 02:06:09,640 Speaker 1: of good stuff, and you got to see this young 2736 02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:13,680 Speaker 1: kid who is playing so well, go toe to toe 2737 02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:16,200 Speaker 1: with the goat, and he was doing it and he 2738 02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:18,200 Speaker 1: didn't get to see him get a chance to win 2739 02:06:18,280 --> 02:06:19,840 Speaker 1: it for his team. And that's why people are mad 2740 02:06:19,880 --> 02:06:23,240 Speaker 1: They're not mad that the game wasn't it the pots 2741 02:06:23,280 --> 02:06:25,640 Speaker 1: they're mad because they didn't get to see Patrick Mahomes. 2742 02:06:25,640 --> 02:06:27,960 Speaker 1: They're just mad they wanted more of it. So the 2743 02:06:28,080 --> 02:06:32,480 Speaker 1: rules aren't broken. That game came down Tom Brady and 2744 02:06:32,520 --> 02:06:35,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots won it. He's done. He's had three overtime 2745 02:06:35,120 --> 02:06:38,040 Speaker 1: games in the playoffs. He's three and Ozho and the 2746 02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:40,440 Speaker 1: other team never saw the football in any of those three. 2747 02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:42,600 Speaker 1: That's why people think those rules are broken. But hey, 2748 02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:45,080 Speaker 1: get a stop and you don't have to worry about that. Okay. 2749 02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:48,960 Speaker 1: NFL true and false number two, The Rams were correct 2750 02:06:49,280 --> 02:06:53,480 Speaker 1: to bench Todd Gurley for C. J. Anderson. Yeah, I 2751 02:06:53,640 --> 02:06:55,760 Speaker 1: was puzzled by this one. I mean, I know he 2752 02:06:55,880 --> 02:06:59,400 Speaker 1: dropped a couple of passes, he wasn't playing great, But 2753 02:07:00,320 --> 02:07:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer of you play the guys that 2754 02:07:03,240 --> 02:07:06,360 Speaker 1: got you there, and I don't know if there's anybody 2755 02:07:06,400 --> 02:07:09,000 Speaker 1: else on offense that played a larger role in getting 2756 02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:12,360 Speaker 1: the Rams to the NFC Championship game. Granted he was 2757 02:07:12,400 --> 02:07:16,240 Speaker 1: injured for a couple of games. Then girly nineteen touchdowns, 2758 02:07:16,320 --> 02:07:19,080 Speaker 1: What did he have? Nineteen hundred two thousand combined yards 2759 02:07:19,120 --> 02:07:22,520 Speaker 1: from scrimmage? I know he had. He was having a 2760 02:07:22,600 --> 02:07:25,040 Speaker 1: rough go of it. Maybe you sit him for a series. 2761 02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:27,480 Speaker 1: They sat him for like a quarter and a half. 2762 02:07:27,840 --> 02:07:30,280 Speaker 1: Ye I mean, I thought you were kind of playing 2763 02:07:30,400 --> 02:07:33,200 Speaker 1: with fire. Nothing against c. J. Anderson, who performed fine, 2764 02:07:34,200 --> 02:07:37,520 Speaker 1: but Girly is a difference maker. Sent him down, let 2765 02:07:37,600 --> 02:07:40,280 Speaker 1: him catch his breath, collect himself, and get him back 2766 02:07:40,320 --> 02:07:43,040 Speaker 1: in the game. So you're saying false, false, All right, 2767 02:07:43,080 --> 02:07:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm saying I was shocked they sat him for that long. 2768 02:07:45,640 --> 02:07:50,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying true because you ain't got time to wait 2769 02:07:50,200 --> 02:07:54,240 Speaker 1: on him to find himself. This is the NFC Championship game, 2770 02:07:54,240 --> 02:07:55,880 Speaker 1: and I think they should have benched him for C. J. 2771 02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:58,840 Speaker 1: Anderson won. CJ. Anderson, and you can say that, hey, 2772 02:07:58,960 --> 02:08:01,440 Speaker 1: Girly got him there. Listen. CJ. Anderson is the only 2773 02:08:01,600 --> 02:08:05,280 Speaker 1: player in NFL history to rush for a hundred yards 2774 02:08:05,320 --> 02:08:08,240 Speaker 1: and get a rushing touchdown in the first three games 2775 02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:10,960 Speaker 1: he played with his new team. So Anderson had been 2776 02:08:11,040 --> 02:08:13,360 Speaker 1: acclimated and he was playing well for them. There's no 2777 02:08:13,480 --> 02:08:15,240 Speaker 1: reason to think they couldn't get it done with him. 2778 02:08:15,480 --> 02:08:18,320 Speaker 1: And listen, and that's just it. If you got I 2779 02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:21,320 Speaker 1: think Sean McVay had got the idea that Hey, Gurley's 2780 02:08:21,360 --> 02:08:23,840 Speaker 1: just not his mind is not in the right spot. 2781 02:08:23,960 --> 02:08:27,160 Speaker 1: His mindset wasn't right. He's too tight, he's too lose, 2782 02:08:27,720 --> 02:08:31,400 Speaker 1: he's too nervous, he's not nervous enough. Whatever the mind 2783 02:08:31,440 --> 02:08:34,760 Speaker 1: frame that Todd Gurley was in, bench him and let 2784 02:08:34,840 --> 02:08:36,720 Speaker 1: him find himself for the next game. So I think 2785 02:08:36,840 --> 02:08:39,000 Speaker 1: in a game like that, hey, they were perfectly right 2786 02:08:39,080 --> 02:08:40,920 Speaker 1: to do it. I just would have gone back to 2787 02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:43,200 Speaker 1: him sooner than they did. I have no problem pulling 2788 02:08:43,280 --> 02:08:46,880 Speaker 1: him out, letting him catch his breath. Somebody talked to him, 2789 02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:48,960 Speaker 1: pump him up, all right, get him back out there. 2790 02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:50,560 Speaker 1: I just would have done it sooner, all right now. 2791 02:08:51,280 --> 02:08:55,080 Speaker 1: NFL true false Goff. Jared Goff was miraculous in the 2792 02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:59,680 Speaker 1: Rams win over the Saints. I'm I'm saying false list. 2793 02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:02,760 Speaker 1: We're talking about the past to Tyler Higbee here, right, Yeah, 2794 02:09:02,800 --> 02:09:05,720 Speaker 1: let's let's pump the brakes on a good throw. That 2795 02:09:05,880 --> 02:09:08,720 Speaker 1: was a luck chuck. It was a nice throw. But yeah, 2796 02:09:09,480 --> 02:09:14,160 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna even look, come on, Yeah, he was 2797 02:09:14,240 --> 02:09:17,960 Speaker 1: off balance, he's barely you know what I mean. Like, well, 2798 02:09:18,040 --> 02:09:20,360 Speaker 1: that last the last drive to get him down there 2799 02:09:20,480 --> 02:09:24,840 Speaker 1: was good and golf is played very well. But if 2800 02:09:24,840 --> 02:09:29,800 Speaker 1: you want to ask about miraculous, that doesn't qualify. Yeah, 2801 02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:32,760 Speaker 1: there was a throw to Higbee where Cameron Jordan's coming 2802 02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:38,440 Speaker 1: free and basically Goff had to duck and chuck it 2803 02:09:38,720 --> 02:09:41,800 Speaker 1: to an area where he knew Higbee would be right, 2804 02:09:42,160 --> 02:09:47,520 Speaker 1: and Coach McVeigh called it miraculous. I think it was 2805 02:09:47,640 --> 02:09:52,200 Speaker 1: miraculously fortunate if we want to go there, But I 2806 02:09:52,320 --> 02:09:54,120 Speaker 1: am I am false all the way on that. It 2807 02:09:54,280 --> 02:09:56,960 Speaker 1: was a luck chuck. He got the benefit of the 2808 02:09:57,040 --> 02:09:59,480 Speaker 1: guy being in the right spot somehow he got the 2809 02:09:59,560 --> 02:10:02,760 Speaker 1: ball off. So it was miraculous in the fact that 2810 02:10:02,880 --> 02:10:05,960 Speaker 1: it was executed, but it was not miraculous based on 2811 02:10:06,120 --> 02:10:08,480 Speaker 1: Jared GOP's ability as a quarter nine. So we both 2812 02:10:08,520 --> 02:10:12,240 Speaker 1: say false. That's NFL true falls. Thanks so much, Brownie. 2813 02:10:12,280 --> 02:10:15,200 Speaker 1: That's good. We're gonna come back to wrap things up 2814 02:10:15,200 --> 02:10:16,400 Speaker 1: here at the top of the air. If you're on 2815 02:10:17,120 --> 02:10:19,880 Speaker 1: and if you're on Steve Jim, if you're on the phone, 2816 02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:21,720 Speaker 1: go ahead and hang in there. We'll try and get 2817 02:10:21,720 --> 02:10:23,400 Speaker 1: to you in the next segment. It's a real quick segment. 2818 02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:26,120 Speaker 1: You're listening to One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive 2819 02:10:26,200 --> 02:10:45,320 Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills Radio. What have we learned presented by 2820 02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:48,320 Speaker 1: Advance Alarm, providing Western New York's homes and businesses with 2821 02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:50,839 Speaker 1: the finest in security and home theater, and the preferred 2822 02:10:51,120 --> 02:10:53,640 Speaker 1: alarm and home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. We 2823 02:10:53,800 --> 02:10:56,320 Speaker 1: had Jim Naggie on the Senior Bowl. He is the 2824 02:10:56,400 --> 02:10:59,760 Speaker 1: executive director of the Reese's Senior Bowl down in Mobile, Alabama, 2825 02:11:00,040 --> 02:11:04,640 Speaker 1: and he talked about what kind of criteria they used 2826 02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:07,280 Speaker 1: to pick their rosters. And here's what Jim Nagi said. 2827 02:11:09,680 --> 02:11:11,800 Speaker 1: These rosters are for these guys. They're for the thirty 2828 02:11:11,840 --> 02:11:14,360 Speaker 1: two teams. And that's that's what I'm trying to impress 2829 02:11:14,400 --> 02:11:17,080 Speaker 1: on them. You know, throughout the falls, I'm doing this 2830 02:11:17,160 --> 02:11:18,440 Speaker 1: for you guys. You know, I want to bring the 2831 02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:20,320 Speaker 1: players you want to see. It's not about the Senior Bowl. 2832 02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:22,520 Speaker 1: It's not about us, you know, bringing in guys we 2833 02:11:22,600 --> 02:11:24,480 Speaker 1: think are good. I mean, that's why we really cross 2834 02:11:24,560 --> 02:11:27,080 Speaker 1: check through the fall. Here's the guys we want to invite. 2835 02:11:27,440 --> 02:11:29,800 Speaker 1: You know, are you guys on in alignment with us? 2836 02:11:29,840 --> 02:11:31,760 Speaker 1: Are you seeing it the same way? Because there's no 2837 02:11:31,880 --> 02:11:35,400 Speaker 1: sense bringing players here they don't want to see. Jim 2838 02:11:35,480 --> 02:11:38,360 Speaker 1: nage the Senior Bowld executive director, We also had on 2839 02:11:39,920 --> 02:11:42,600 Speaker 1: the producer for Tony Romo. Tony Romo, who has made 2840 02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:46,280 Speaker 1: a splash in the NFL's coverage or the CBS's coverage 2841 02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:48,400 Speaker 1: of the NFL, and he has been able to kind 2842 02:11:48,440 --> 02:11:50,680 Speaker 1: of predict and be more genuine, a little bit more 2843 02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:53,600 Speaker 1: enthusiastic than most analysts have been, and he's getting a 2844 02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:55,720 Speaker 1: lot of kudos for it. The man who produces him, 2845 02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:58,720 Speaker 1: Jim Rickoff for the NFL on CBS, had this to 2846 02:11:58,800 --> 02:12:03,680 Speaker 1: say of why Romo has been so successful. He's fun 2847 02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:06,120 Speaker 1: and just how he's on the airs as a person. 2848 02:12:06,240 --> 02:12:09,520 Speaker 1: He's authentic, and I think people relate for that. Um 2849 02:12:09,880 --> 02:12:11,360 Speaker 1: you know, I think that, and he's you know, he's 2850 02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:14,880 Speaker 1: got the two key things.
