4
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: a little spider web on our camera looking over the beautiful,

5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: brand new turf at the stadium. Have you heard about Brownie?

6
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: And thanks for being It's good to see again. Man,

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: it's been a while. Yeah, it was on the vacation

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, so was I. Yeah, we were both

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: out of roaming around. But by the way, do you

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: like have you heard about some fans are chiming in

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: they don't like the blue end zones, they want the

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: red ones back. Yeah, I get that. I have a Twitter.

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: A good amount people were openly wondering, hey, are we

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna get red end zones with this new turf, and

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: I was telling them, no, it's gonna be largely the same. Really.

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: The only difference is, you know, the bigger logo in

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Um, I mean it doesn't.

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't grind my gears. I'm not really that I would.

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: I can understand how the red end zone might pop

20
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more, especially on like a sun splashed

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: October afternoon. It might really pop, but I'm good with it.

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: The end zones match the seats better. Yeah, I kind

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: of like it the way it is. I mean, I

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: like the blue. I mean I played with the red

25
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: end zones. I get it. I mean a little estoubtic,

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: a little, I might. I mean the red end zones

27
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: pop a little bit. You're right, but yeah, I don't know.

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: It looks a little more old style to me, right,

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: more classic, Yeah, a little more old school. Okay, I

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: give you that blue. You know, the red, the reds pop,

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: they jump. But I'm trying to remember when they started

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: painting the end zones. Probably like late sixties, right late

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: sixties they started painting them, right, because in the fifties

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: they didn't paint the end zones. Yeah, they just it

35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: was just green grass the line. Here's the goal line,

36
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: and there's the end zone, and sometimes the goalpost was

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: in the way too, right, right, right, that was back

38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: in the day. But anyway, so well, anyway, it's good

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: to have you back. Yeah, great weather to be back.

40
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: Finally got here. The summer's been here for a while.

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: We had a chance to enjoy it. Last Year's do

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: anything cool in the fourth week. I know, it's a

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: little like, uh we were down south the bacon in

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: the heat, and uh we were down in South Carolina

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: and it was like stupid hot, um, like dangerous hot.

46
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: So it was stupid hot early in the week. And

47
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: then July fourth comes and it was nothing but on

48
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: and off storms all day long. And when they have

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: thunderstorms down there, it is violent, really like violent lightning.

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: Go go getting some good undercover something like just not

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: good stuff, like get out of there, like dangerous. Yeah,

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: there was a kind of thing. There was a story

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: in the paper the next morning, July fifth, which was

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: the day we were leaving. Dude got hit by lightning

55
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: and killed while really on the fourth of July. I mean,

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: can you imagine You're just trying to have a nice

57
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: barbecue with your family and bam. I mean, and I

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: don't want to make light of the tragedy, because it

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: is a tragedy, but thinking that would ruin that holiday

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: for the entire well eleven other people that were around

61
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,559
Speaker 1: the guy were all injured and had to be hospitalized.

62
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: It was like, I mean, there is air to ground

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: lightning in the store. It's crazy. And then even the

64
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: next day when we were trying to fly back home.

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: We got our flight delayed and we missed our connection

66
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: because there was so much air to ground lightning. They

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: had to pull the guys, you know with the flashlights

68
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: that direct the plane. They had to pull them off

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: the tarmac. They can't have those guys standing out there

70
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: and that he can get lit up. I mean they

71
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: had to get them all. So they got nobody to

72
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: move the planes around, so the planes aren't going anywhere, right. Yeah,

73
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: it was bad, really bad to say what you want

74
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: about the weather in Buffalo. I know we get to

75
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: take the rap for but I'm telling you what I'll

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: take May to August tier over just about anything. Everybody

77
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: else got issues too. You know, people will make fun

78
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: of um. People in Buffalo in the wintertime pretty much

79
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: having a hibernate. You know, January February, you're doing the

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: same thing. In Florida. They're doing the same exact thing

81
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: right now. In South Carolina. It gets past nine am,

82
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: everybody's inside because it's too hot to do anything, and

83
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: then seven to seven pm everybody comes outside again. So

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: from nine to seven you're indoors in the ac you're

85
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: not going out and doing anything. Certainly. Nothing strenuous. I mean,

86
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know how you do that. I'm

87
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: totally with you, man, I give me. I love all

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: four the four seasons we get, with the exception of

89
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: maybe spring, even the wind, because we get it gets

90
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: stupid hot in Kansas in the middle of summer and windy.

91
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: I grew up in Kansas. Yeah, which talk, you get nineties,

92
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: They get nineties out there. Kansas is an Indian word

93
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: for south wind. Oh okay, so look at that, people

94
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: of the south wind and twelve or four we're getting less, right.

95
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: So I went to school a community college in Dodge City.

96
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Can't just Dodge City Community College, right, So there was

97
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: a time when it seemed like there is a constant

98
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: fifteen mile per hour wind there. Constant. Well, it's because

99
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: it's so flat, constantly and didn't even have trees in

100
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: the way. It was Dodge City, one of you, was

101
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: the windiest city in America. Take that Chicago, Ye, rightly,

102
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: Chicago gets high winds and stuff, but then they'll have

103
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: calm days. You don't get a single calm day in

104
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: that state, which which is not terrible. When it's ninety

105
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: you want that breeze don't you or is it just

00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: you ever opened up your oven when there's cookies in there.

108
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: That's the breeze. The breeze comes in, and the breeze

109
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: is hotter than yeah, standing still, you don't get any

110

00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: October and maybe even in November. It's just they're best.

155
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: You're pushing you like a little bit there. It starts

156
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: to get hitting miss right. I mean after Halloween all bets,

157
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: not exception every day. Yeah, I get it. But still,

158
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, anyway, great to have you here, man, Great

159
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: to be here with you, be back in the saddle

160
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: with you. We uh, we're talking about the bills. We've

161
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: got a Twitter pull out there as well that you

162
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: can chime in if you want to get on the

163
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: conversation with Brownie and I about the nice weather here

164
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park today. It's eight o three oh five

165
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: fifty or one eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

166
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: But we've also got a Twitter question out. Uh, it's

167
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna take me a minute. To to dig it up

168
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: because I don't have it written down. It is. Do

169
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: you have it written down over there? What the Twitter

170
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: question is? I'm having trouble finding it now. Well, basically

171
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: there it is. Which inn LFL team has the best

172
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: chance to be a powder keg in twenty nineteen. This

173
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: is an you know a little bit of a you know,

174
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 1: it's kind of a jab around it some of the

175
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: teams that have some things going that maybe you're like, oh,

176
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: some drama, Yeah, a little drama. And it starts with

177
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: the Browns, the Jets, the Raiders, and then the Raiders

178
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: because of John Gruden. It did not go well. They

179
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: traded two away away two of their best players last year,

180
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: started to build from the from within, trying to you know,

181
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: kind of rebuild it in in Oakland during the last

182
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: season before they moved to Las Vegas. All kinds of

183
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: stuff going on there in Antonio Brown's there, Brontes berfect Rich. Yeah, okay,

184
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: so you know, you get the idea, the fuses are

185
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: all there, are they gonna get lit? And of course

186
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: then we here in Buffalo, we're all too familiar with

187
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Jets. How they were having

188
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: this and I've said it a couple of times on

189
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: the show, and maybe you don't agree with me, Brownie,

190
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: but I thought the Bills and the Jets were kind

191
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: of on the same trajectory, right. They started kind of

192
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: at the same time, although the Jets did change head

193
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: coaches last year at the end of they fired their

194
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: guy last year, so they were kind of on the

195
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: same trajectory though up through that time, getting a quarterback

196
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: in the same draft, kind of having a lot of

197
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: cap space to get free agent, spending their money and

198
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: going through the draft, and being on that same trajectory,

199
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the Jets kind of went divergent.

200
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: Fired their head coach, had the draft, did all the

201
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: free agent stuff, then fired their GM. They brought in

202
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: a head coach from one of their other division rivals,

203
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: so they kind of diverged from their parallel course of

204
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And then they hired a new staff

205
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: that had two guys who were publicly mortal enemies in

206
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Greg Williams and Joe Vitt, who had been all the

207
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: way back to their time on the same staff in

208
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: New Orleans when the bounty gate scenario happened and everybody

209
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: got suspended for a year, and what are you gonna do?

210
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys are now thrown back together on

211
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: the same staff after swearing that they hated each other,

212
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: and they playing there, they've made nice nice Now think

213
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: what kind of half? What else can you say? You

214
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: gotta get off on some sort of positives note And

215
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: then of course, then there's a Cleveland Browns. I think

216
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that you can say the Cleveland

217
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: Browns maybe a little bit of a powder keg if

218
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: and only for this reason. They got expectations through the

219
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: roof and every time they stumbled or turned side with

220
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: They've got some big personalities. Baker Mayfield that starts with him. Now,

221
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: he to me has the kind of personality want a leader,

222
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: am all right? I mean he's he's kind of got

223
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: that charisma thing and he says he's somebody by the

224
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: scruff of the neck. He backs it up though, right,

225
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he has it. But then you got Odell Beckham,

226
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 1: you Jarvis Landry, who might be the you know, he

227
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: might be the biggest drama queen in the league, right o,

228
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: b right, and you got a you know guy in

229
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: the head coaching seat for the first time, first time

230
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: with enormous expectations. Most new head coaches don't walk into

231
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: this kind of a situation. They walk into a losing

232
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: situation that they're trying to turn around. This team was

233
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: what seven eight and one, eight seven and one something

234
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: like that last year. M and loaded up big time

235
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: this offseason, so the expectations are through the roof. People

236
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: are expecting playoffs in Cleveland, and those are fans that

237
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: are pretty vocal. Yeah, so you know, things things go

238
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: a little sideways. You know, you've got Kareem Hunt, who's

239
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: going to be suspended for the first eight games, but

240
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: he's also part of this mix. There's off the field

241
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: stuff there. But man, I mean Odell Beckham Junior Jarvis Landry.

242
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, these are two guys used to catching eighty

243
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: two hundred balls a year. And it's not like they're

244
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: the only two weapons in this offense. You have an

245
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: up and coming tight end and David and Joku. You've

246
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: got a pretty darn good third receiver in Callaway. So

247
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: and they got to give the ball to the running

248
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: backs and they throw an awful lot out of the backfield,

249
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: at least they did last year. So they don't feel

250
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: like they're getting the touches they think they should get.

251
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: There's going to be some grousing, especially especially if they

252
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: don't win early, right, And that's the big thing they

253
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: start off one and two? How they are they gonna be?

254
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: How are they gonna how is it gonna Are they

255
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: gonna hang in there with this team? Are they gonna

256
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, are they gonna give him the benefit of

257
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: the doubt on a tough loss? Are they gonna? Uh?

258
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: Is Freddy Kitchen's gonna get treated like? I mean, what's

259
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: how long is his honeymoon gonna last? And what's gonna

260
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: end it? You know what I mean? And how are

261
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: they how's the how's he gonna handle it as a

262
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: as a head coach? How what's his message gonna be

263
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: to his team when he starts coming under some scrutiny?

264
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: Are they gonna with a consider switching head coaches? Again?

265
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: You can't predict what Jimmy Hasling's gonna do at all, right,

266
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: And that's that's and that's the big thing. I mean,

267
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of expectation there, and I think that's

268
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: where this powder keg question that we put to everybody.

269
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: Which NFL team has the best chance to be a

270
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: powder keg in two thousand nineteen. We're taking your calls

271
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: about that eight or three oh five fifty Steve Task

272
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: along with Chris Brown here one Bills Live. We're here

273
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: to at three o'clock. Also at one o'clock we've got

274
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: writer Frank Schwab coming up uh the NFL right at

275
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: Yahoo Sports. He was a former Broncos beat writer. He's

276
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: also he and I's been been with Yahoo since twenty

277
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: and twelve. So he's going to come on and talk

278
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: with us today. He had a nice little article about

279
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: we should we should ask him that scene. Yeah, we will.

280
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: We actually will put him to the test with our

281
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. But we also he said, he wrote an

282
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: article lately about, you know, acknowledging how much the bills

283
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: have improved, but also saying with the caveat that it

284
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: all comes down to Josh and how well he does.

285
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: Which we go, that's kind of our wheelhouse here in

286
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Western New York. Right before we get any deeper into

00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: And then you find out he didn't win the thing.

307
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: And I think he hit a total of what did

308
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: he hit ninety one home runs in the entire thing,

309
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: front to back? And I'm sitting there going the guy

310
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: hits ninety one home runs and he doesn't win. I'm

311
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: saying there's something wrong with the with the rules. With that,

312
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: there's got to be some kind of point system that

313
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: you set up so there is at least some kind

314
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: of reward for an aggregate number of home runs even

315
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: if you lose the round something like that. I don't know,

316
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: because I mean, this guy was just teasing him into

317
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: the sea. Oh yeah, and it was rapid fire too.

318
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: That was an amazing thing. He's snap snaps well yeah,

319
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: because you know a lot of these guys, if the

320
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: pitch isn't right in the sweet spot, they'll let it

321
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: go by and just wait for the next one. It's

322
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: like BP, I don't like that one, I'll take the

323
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: next one. This guy was just like his dad, because

324
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: his dad never saw a pitch he didn't like either. Um.

325
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Vlad Guerrero Senior, he's I mean, and to his credit,

326
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: the Mets Pete Alonzo, who won the thing, hits some

327
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: the other way too. I mean, he was spraying the

328
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: ball to all fields, which was impressive because you rarely

329
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: see the home run champion doing that, and he did that.

330
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: He he beat Vlad Grill, but I think Lad was

331
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: a little gast by the time he got to the final.

332
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: Lad carries a few extra. That's a lot of work though,

333
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean you're really paying extra. Yeah, you know, I

334
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: mean he's not he doesn't have a V shape. But

335
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: here's here's the top her, Steve. So we we hear

336
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, you see the home run derby America, the

337
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: long ball. You know, we love it, love it, love

338
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: the long Oh exactly, hit that thing a mile. Let

339
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: me go eat my hot dog, you know, home right.

340
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: So that's not the way it is all the way around.

341
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: That's not the way it is all the way around

342
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: the world. Because in Korea, where baseball is a very

343
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: popular sport, as it is in a lot of the

344
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: Pacific rim countries, uh, among their all star festivities is yes, Steve,

345
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: you guessed it a bunting contest. They call it a

346
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: bunting derby, which I think is a strong word when

347
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about bunting. But for our MSG viewers, they're

348
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: gonna watch some footage. This is actually a thing, and

349
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: we'll give the play by playsound as well. Now to

350
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: fairly paint the picture for our radio listeners. The guy

351
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: is just lobbing up unded picture. There are two bulls eyes,

352
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: one up the third base line, one up the first

353
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: base line with award point total awards of one through

354
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: four and I think five dead center in the middle.

355
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: And the best part of this whole charade, Steve, is

356
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: the golf clapping audience, very actually seated and watching this. Now,

357
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: how many are there? There are several dozens of fans

358
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: watching this? Why? Because this is maybe the lamest thing

359
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: I have ever Witnened. I mean, I understand there is

360
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: certainly a skill level here, but when they're throwing the

361
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: ball underhand underhanded, yea, it becomes tremendously easier, Steve, You

362
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: and I can do this on an underhanded pitch. Yeah,

363
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, if you want to make

364
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the bunting contest interesting, put Randy Johnson on the mound

365
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: and have him groove one. I have him groove one

366
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: in there at ninety seven, and then let me see

367
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: you lay the bunt down. Now, now we've got a

368
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: bunting contest right now, you can call it a derby.

369
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: This guy's lobbing in underhand. Stand you want a softball too.

370
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: He's also stands from like fifty feet not sixty feet,

371
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: standing close, and you want to call it a bunting derby?

372
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: Make it realistic, all right, get Randy Job grooving in

373
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: ninety seven mile an hour fastballs coming in on your hands. Now,

374
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: let me see you lay it down and put it

375
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: in the bull's eye. Yeah all right, I'm with you, man,

376
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: give me that. They still put put fifty year old

377
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan on the hill. I'll bet he could. It's

378
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: prove it in at ninety two or three even now

379
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: a part of the game. But nobody's bunting underhand pitches.

380
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: They don't even this is letting the ball comes in

381
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: hotter playing a game of Pepper. I mean, what are

382
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,239
Speaker 1: they doing in Korea? It does throw it come in

383
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: hotter playing pepper? I mean, oh, there's an overhand. Well,

384
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: how did we crack twenty five miles an hour on

385
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: the gun? I don't think so. Give me a break.

386
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: But that was. But that's pretty funny though. I as

387
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: big as big a deal as the home run derby

388
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: was in the States. The Koreans have a bunch derby

389
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: and they're eating it up the punt. They call it

390
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: the bunt king. Yeah, that's great. I don't even know

391
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: if I want that title. Would you want that title?

392
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: Stunt king? No, I'm thinking No, that's a hard pass

393
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna have to forfeit the I want to

394
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: see real pitchers grooving in ninety plus pitches, lay down

395
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: the bunt, then put it in the bull's eye. Then

396
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: I'm impressed. Yeah, that's true. And they could put they

397
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: could do it. You could take a little league kid

398
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: and stand him up there at the plate and I'll

399
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: bet he could get at least two or three in

400
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: the bull's eye zone because you're you're lobbing the things in.

401
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: There's got They gotta get rules for that. I'll tell

402
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: you what. Though, it's the Korean Baseball League. Do you

403
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: know how I feel about baseball? But um, they do

404
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: gotta do something to liven it up. Yeah that I mean,

405
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: that is a snooze fest there. That is awful. That's

406
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: a bunt. Yeah, that's awful. You gotta go to the back.

407
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: You gotta go to the bathroom, get a hot dog. Yeah,

408
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: you gotta come up with you gotta come up with

409
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: something to make it. But it's just no different. I mean,

410
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: even you know, the home run derby, ball on fire.

411
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: To do something, that's something. We gotta do something or

412
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: light the bat on fire. Yeah, you know, you can

413
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: only hold it in two specific places, right, you got

414
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: you gotta try something or shoot the ball out, like

415
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: you said, out of a cannon or something, so you

416
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: can even if it's coming to the same spot, just

417
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: coming to one hundred mile an hour from second base. Right,

418
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: Let's see if you can out of a mortar bunt that,

419
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: because that's the hard part about it, right, the easy

420
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: parts putting the you know, putting the ball on a

421
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: lob in there, in there, lollipop. I'm totally with you

422
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: on that, all right, Steve Task along with Chris Brown

423
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live, we're here till at three o'clock

424
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: and we're asking you the question which team has the

425
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: best chance to be a powder keg in twenty nineteen.

426
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: We're also gonna have Frank Schwab from Yahoo Sports on

427
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: at about one o'clock later in the show, where we're

428
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: talking about the home run derby last night and in

429
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: Korea the bunt derby. That's the way they do it

430
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: in the Pacific, rim I suppose. And we're also talking

431
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: about anything else you want to talk about with having

432
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: to do with the Buffalo Bills and the NFL, which

433
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: there is a little bit going on at this time,

434
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: You're most of it has to do with stuff obviously

435
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: outside the lines, the players and the players Union and

436
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: the U and the NFL offices. They're they're uh, the

437
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: management are meeting trying to get a CBA worked out

438
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: well in advance of anything happening. As for a work stoppage,

439
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see if anything substantive happens. Um.

440
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they get a deal done

441
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: before the season, not this season, but before it runs out, right,

442
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: But it doesn't run out until twenty twenty, right, But

443
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason they're starting now. There's a

444
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: lot of things to go through, Steve. You know, there's

445
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: a lot of things to go through. What's gonna happen.

446
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna go right down to the eleventh hour again,

447
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: just like it always Why Why wouldn't then deadlines lead

448
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: to progress? You know, once deadlines start becoming real and

449
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: right in front of people, that's when there's movement. And

450
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: that's what we saw the last time. I think I

451
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see what the owners really

452
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: feel as important and what the players union feels important. Obviously,

453
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: the players Union is gonna go for guaranteed contracts. I

454
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: think that's a pipe dream. Um. I think the ownership

455
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: would probably want what do they want? What do they

456
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: that they don't have? Yeah, they have, they have a

457
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: lot right now. Um, maybe an eighteen game schedule, Yeah,

458
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't see that happening unless they

459
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: agree to expand rosters and practice sure, and loosen the

460
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: rules on you know, forty six on game day. Yeah,

461
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: should be fifty guys on game day. You have a

462
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: sixty man roster, right and then maybe a ten or

463
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: twelve player practice squad. I mean, you got it. Maybe,

464
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: But then if you do that, now you're talking, your

465
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: money's gonna get spread very thin, you know. Um, but

466
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: if you're playing two more games, there's more revenue twelve percent,

467
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: twelve and a half percent. Yeah, So yeah, I get it,

468
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: and it could happen, But um, I mean you have

469
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: to you have to take into account the wear and

470
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: tear factor. Absolutely, there's nobody there's always there's anybody in

471
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: this league besides a quarterback that can stay upright behind

472
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: a good offensive line that's playing eighteen games. Well, there's

473
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: always my my solution to all of this, And you know,

474
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: nobody listens to me, Murf poop poo's it. So what's

475
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: the players only play sixteen if you're expanding the rosters.

476
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: Every guy only plays sixteen games. When he gets nicked up,

477
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: he sits down. He doesn't have to try and play.

478
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't, you know what I mean? Just haven't played

479
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: sixteen games. And if you expand the rosters, you got

480
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: enough guys to be inactive on a game day that

481
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: you can have what maybe what five guys six you

482
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: deactivate six guys anyway, or seven guys anyway. So why not,

483
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, why not let let the players only play

484
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: sixteen games? And Murf comes on glued when I say that,

485
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: But it's true. What's his issue with Little Johnny's sitting

486
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: in the front road romance saved his pennies and wants

487
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: to go see Tom Brady play. But it's tom Brady's

488
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: tearing to sit down. So he's his life hit. The

489
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: rest of his life, for all seventy five years of it,

490
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: is ruined because that one Sunday afternoon you didn't get

491
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: to see Tom Brady play against the Buffalo Bills. There

492
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: is a yeah, there is an on field product to consider.

493
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: I would agree with absolutely. But I'll tell you this,

494
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: you think about this, there's also and I'm I'm not

495
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: going to turn my back on it, there's also the

496
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: gambling and the other competitive thing about fantasy football. It

497
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: adds an extra degree of difficulty to that and an

498
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: extra degree of enticement to out figure it out for

499
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people, particularly the gambling side and the

500
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football players. You've got to have a guy. At

501
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: some point, you're gonna have to sit Tom Brady down.

502
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to sit say Quon Barkley down, You're

503
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: gonna have to sit one of these great players down.

504
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: You gotta have a backup plan, you gotta stay on

505
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: top of it. And there's gonna be games where an

506
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: unexpected guy is gonna have a mushroom type of game

507
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: where it's his numbers are through the roof for whatever reason.

508
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: And so I think it's agree the difficulty that will

509
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: appeal to the fantasy I don't see coaches or owners

510
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: going for that in terms of how it applies to

511
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback. They're not sitting their quarterback down, so don't

512
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: so make it so the quarterback and play eighteen games

513
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: if you exclude the quarterback. From that conversation, you may

514
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: be able to get some traction. First of all, owners

515
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: could not care less us. Are you sure about that? Oh?

516
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: Why would they? Why? Why would they care? Serious if

517
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: they can't play their quarterback? Yeah, why would they? Why

518
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: would an owner care? Because they want to win, you know,

519
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: for twelve and a half percent on top of one

520
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven million dollars, for twelve and a

521
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: half percent on top of wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

522
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: wait for for for over. Let's see. If it's a

523
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven billion dollars a year business, what's twelve percent

524
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: of twenty seven billions? Right? In order to sit Tom Brady,

525
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and down for two games, you're gonna offer

526
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: each owner an extra Well, you're fifty million bucks. That's

527
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: probably more minimum. Right, you're going up about three to

528
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: four billions. There are some owners for one hundred pennies

529
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: would do it, right, So your your stance is that

530
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: the money will trump winning. Yeah, then it's an excuse.

531
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: Bill thinks you, Well, we didn't have our quarterback. We

532
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: lost it. We don't have to rationalize those two games,

533
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: you know, we don't have to answer to our fans,

534
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: for that. I don't know if every I'm sure there

535
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: are some owners that are fine with it. I don't

536
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: know if everyone goes for that, But I don't care.

537
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: That's a that's an interesting rabbit hole to go down

538
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: and listen the coach. The coaches wouldn't care as much

539
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: as you think, because they know how if the other

540
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: guy's got to do it, at some point, I gotta

541
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 1: do it. They don't care if they're gonna coach around it.

542
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: I can coach my guys up. Don't don't sell their

543
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: egos short or their ability to adapt. They'll have a plan.

544
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a plan. And plus it gives you

545
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: a chance at some point to finally get some development

546
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: snaps for quarterbacks that you need to look at. Yeah,

547
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I know it's a it's a you know,

548
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: for games that count. But when you're backed into a

549
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: corner and if it and that's where Murph says, oh,

550
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: it's not fair, it's not well it actually it's it

551
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: could not be more fair. All the rules apply to everybody,

552
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: if you're gonna sit down. In fact, it's it's less

553
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: fair for the Patriots than it is for a team

554
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: like whoever who doesn't have a quarterback. And obviously you're

555
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna play your your quarterback in all your

556
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: division games because those are important. I'm telling you, man,

557
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: it makes it makes a ton of sense, makes a

558
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: ton of sense. That's very it's very uh progressive of you, Steve.

00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: Steve Task along with Chris Brown, we are talking about

608
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: which team has the best chance to be a powder

609
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: keg in the twenty nineteen season. We're also talked a

610
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: little bit about the home run derby. We have Frank

611
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: Schwab of Yahoo Sports coming on at one o'clock. We're

612
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: getting some feedback on our on our tweet Twitter poll

613
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: about which team has the best chance to be a

614
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: powder Keg in two nineteen. This is a tweet sheet

615
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official movers

616
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. From Jay, he says, sky high

617
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: expectations for a young, losing team with the first time

618
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: head coach, a brash, outspoken young quarterback who has centered

619
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: around two devo receivers that were traded away for being

620
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 1: culture issues. And not to mention the off the field

621
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: issues with Hunt and Callaway, how is it not Cleveland.

622
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: That's a good point. That's compelling case. That's why we

623
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: put him on the list. Case and number two from Ronnie,

624
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: which team has the best chance to be a powder

625
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: keg In twenty nineteen, Ronnie says, I went with the

626
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: Raiders simply because they have more volatile personalities, particular Incognito

627
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: Brown and even their coach. I'm a Gruden fan myself,

628
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: but he doesn't exactly have a Kumbai Yah type personality.

629
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, his track record with quarterbacks is awful. A sure,

630
00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: he puts enormous, sometimes unrealistic expectations on quarterback. He put

631
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: he treats quarterbacks like rented mules, yeah, all of them.

632
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: And Chris Simms has been pretty outspoken about oh yeah

633
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: he's he makes yeah he's John Gruden is not there

634
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: to make friends with quarterbacks. He's there to get the

635
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: most out of him. And he starts pushing buttons and

636
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: it gets ugly quick, and he forgot maybe the most

637
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: important volatile personality Vontas perfect. I mean it was interesting.

638
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: I read a Washington Post story by John Clayton about

639
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders, kind of like a preview thing, and he

640
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: sat down with Mayok for a long time and they

641
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: talked a bunch, and Mayok could not have said more

642
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: positive things about Vonta's perfect than maybe anybody I have

643
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: ever heard speak on Vonta's perfect, because he said the

644
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: reason he was attractive to us is because he knows

645
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: this defense inside and out, and he's more intelligent than

646
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: he gets credit for. Now, he's also walking into a

647
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: defense that he's played in the last seven years in

648
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati because they have Paul gun Through there as their

649
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, running the same defensive system. But that doesn't

650
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: mean he's not going to hit somebody the wrong way

651
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: and be suspended for four games. I mean, he's got

652
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: multiple suspensions, right, So those numbers go up every time

653
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,239
Speaker 1: He's just a game here, Antonio' Brown being one of them,

654
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: his new teammate, and that's doesn't do anything for the

655
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: other stuff that he's got to deal with, and that

656
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: what they should do, you know, I think, I mean,

657
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: I understand the argument for Cleveland, but man, the Raiders

658
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: aren't far behind. There is a lot, Like you said,

659
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: there are a lot of fuses, but there and from

660
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: Jack on the tweet sheet, lots of egos in Florham Park,

661
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: Gays seems to rub players and staff the wrong way.

662
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: Williams is an excellent defensive coordinator, but he's abrasive. They

663
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: go to the team by paying a ton of money

664
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: to a running back and an inside linebacker. Bell was good,

665
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: does he still have it? He doesn't seem like he

666
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: wants to work. And Darnald is still unproven. Fields a

667
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: little tenuous tenuous, And then and then on top of that,

668
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 1: Steve rolled the New York media into that, and that

669
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: only exacerbates a little what might be a little brushfire

670
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: over here in your estimation, you know, as a first

671
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: year head coach with the Jets and Adam Gase might

672
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: look like a brush fire to you, But when it's

673
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: slapped all over the back pages of the tabloid papers

674
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: in New York. It takes on a life of its own.

675
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: So if you don't nip it in the bud, it

676
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: gets out of control in a herd. I don't have

677
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: to I don't know if I want to have to

678
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: spell this out how this stuff comes down. But in

679
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: my experience, limited experience here in Buffalo and what I've

680
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: seen as being a national media member going into these

681
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: cities and New York concluded, here's how it works. Some

682
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: coach or player is talking about it, and what they

683
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: do is notoriously. As a media member will ask a

684
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: player about one of his teammates. And that's why you'll

685
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: almost never hear a teammate a player talk about his

686
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: teammate and say anything but glowing things. And here's what

687
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: happens to You'll you'll say, well, it's it's a B

688
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: or C. Or you'll say he's like this guy. Even

689
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: if you start making positive comparisons, it some off the

690
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: handle or off the cuff remark will be spun negative

691
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: and they'll run from that guy's locker and straight to

692
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: the other guy and say, hey, he said this about you.

693
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: When it was an off the cuff remark about somebody

694
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: else that insinuated that he wasn't like this other person.

695
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So all of a sudden,

696
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: and it's obviously asked out of contact contry to get

697
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: a volatile response. That's right. And it happens well virtually

698
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: every day, and it happens to coaches, it happens to players,

699
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: happens to head coach at general managers, and it and

700
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: you spend all your time managing the message that comes

701
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: out of your locker room. Right. All the players have

702
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: to be on board with it. They have to understand

703
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: how to do it, and if they don't, they're gonna

704
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: have You're gonna have brush fires constantly that you have

705
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: to deal with. And it becomes an amazing and huge distraction.

706
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: And it's it's part of it's one of the degrees

707
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: of difficulty that makes New York more difficult than say,

708
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: like a place like Buffalo yep. And I think what

709
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: you also have to consider here are the personalities that

710
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: you're dealing with. And this is why not to be

711
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: the dead horse here. But this is why Brandon Bean

712
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott are dead set on the personality fit

713
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. The character fit here in Buffalo, because

714
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: when a team experiences adversity, that's when those personalities get

715
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: all out of whack and start causing problems. I mean,

716
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is a perfect example. There's nobody that works

717
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: harder than Antonio Brown on the practice field. I know

718
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: a lot of people in pitch. Everybody talk to them.

719
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: The guy outworks every single person. Football is important to him.

720
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: He is dedicated to perfecting his craft. That's right, that's

721
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: common knowledge. Yeah, But when the team's level of success

722
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: might not be what his expectations are for the team,

723
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: that's when he gets a little squirrely. He goes off

724
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: the rails and just gets all squirrely and does even

725
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: more damage to the prospects of the team. And I

726
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: think the reason that he was able to exist in

727
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and be successful for so long is because there

728
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: are control elements within the framework of the Steelers organization

729
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: that keeps a volatile personality like Antonio Brown under control.

730
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: Maybe not completely perfect, but for the most part, can

731
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: keep that kind of a personality under control. As I'm

732
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: looking at it, that doesn't exist in Oakland. You've got

733
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback who struggled the last two years, who's trying

734
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: to redefine his career. You've got a coach who's a hothead.

735
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean they call him Chucky for a season. I mean,

736
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: he looks like the horror picture character. But he also

737
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: is a hothead. I mean, he's he could go off

738
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: at any second with something he's not happy with. Yeah,

739
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: and then on top of that, if the team is

740
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 1: not putting w's in the win column. And news flash

741
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: here the LA Chargers are a pretty good team in

742
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: their division. Chiefs are a pretty good team, even though

743
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: you know no Kareem Hunt anymore. But it looks like

744
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, though there will be a suspension, might not

745
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: be as long as everybody's anticipating. I mean, I don't

746
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: know what to expect from Denver. But but the bottom

747
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: line is this. But yeah, I don't know how much

748
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: win in Oakland's gonna do this year. And I'm worried

749
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown's thinking ten eleven, twelve wins. I don't see

750
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: it for that team. And if they fall short, heads up,

751
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: social media, because here comes ab now in the positive side,

752
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: the Antonio Brown thing. In the way it it in

753
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh had a lot to do with his relationship with

754
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. Derek Carr is it could not be more opposite.

755
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: There is no cache there for Derek Carr. There's no cache.

756
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Ben Roethlisberger commands and demands respect

757
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: and has two super Bowl show for it. Sure Derek

758
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 1: Carr doesn't have that kind of cache with Antonio Brown.

759
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: That's not the point. Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger at

760
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: the very hated each other because Ben under the bus

761
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: and criticize and yeah publicly. So that's not something Derek

762
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: Carr will ever do. No, Derek Carr knows how to

763
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: handle relationships a little better, particularly in the locker room

764
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: and on his teammates, better than Ben Roethlisberger does. Now,

765
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: what if he doesn't like Beethlisberger, that's right, he may not,

766
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: but at least he'll handle it better than Ben would have.

767
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: That's one positive note that may Derek Carr's personality great

768
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: team eight, well spoken guy, always prepared for hard workers.

769
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: So he's gonna do everything he can to make sure

770
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: that things go well. But if he doesn't play well

771
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: and if things don't go well, I don't know. How

772
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: far that's gonna keep. How Derek car doesn't play well.

773
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't know who's gonna be more upset, Antonio Brown

774
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: or John Gruden. It's gonna be a competition, yeah, because

775
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: I mean Gruden will be his head will look like

776
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: a tomato. And Antonio Brown, God knows what he's gonna

777
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: do on social media. Yeah, all right, have fun with

778
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: that one. All right. Steve Tasker and Chris Brown here

Speaker 1: we're here till three o'clock. What team has the best

786
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: chance to be a powder Keg in twenty nineteen? And

787
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: by powder keg, we need explode in your face, blowing

788
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: up rights. We've got most of the people, Cliff, from

789
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: the choices we gave you the Jets, the Browns or

790
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Most people are picking the Browns, actually, and

791
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: for good because of the expectations because of their the

792
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: nature of the personalities that have been mixed together. We

793
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: also have it from the tweet sheet brought to you

794
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: by Corgan Moving Systems from Brian. He says, I say

795
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: the Jets have the best chance to be a powder keg.

796
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: New outspoken coaches, including Greg Williams, will be throwing each

797
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: other under the bus. Looks good on paper till you

798
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: see how they respond to adversity. Big heads bump when

799
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: new coach, new coaches rush in to win instead of

800
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: putting culture and core ahead of it, ahead of that. Yeah, yeah,

801
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: And I mean he kind of touched on what I

802
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: was talking about in the last segment, because what's going

803
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: to happen with these personalities when either a they're not

804
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: getting the ball enough, be the team's not winning, when

805
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: you hit that two or three game losing streak. Are

806
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: these excitable and volatile personalities going to blow their stack

807
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: and act like you know, a volcano. Yeah, and we

808
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: all know this, every team, all thirty two of them,

809
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna come across adversity coming up in this next season.

810
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be They're gonna be rough patches for everybody.

811
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: But the interesting thing about the pole Steve so far

812
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: is there is a respectable contingent that voted other twelve percent.

813
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: Usually other is like three percent, four percent. It's twelve percent, Stye.

814
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: And there are other teams out there. I can think

815
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: of three off the top of my head, right, and

816
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: I do want fans to chime in with those as

817
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: well a little bit later in the show. I know

818
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: we have Frank Schwab coming up here at the top

819
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: of the hour, but maybe at the bottom of the

820
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: hour a little bit later, chime in if you have

821
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 1: another candidate eight for a potential powder keg NFL team

822
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Besides the Jets, Raiders are or the Browns,

823
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: I mean, those are obvious answers, but there are some

824
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: others sitting in the weeds there that could very easily

825
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: turn into a giant tire fire in no time. I agree,

826
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: and we're gonna see. But there are I mean, you

827
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: think about at the top of the top of the list.

828
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: We're not gonna get into these now, but these are

829
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: the other teams that may turn into a powder kegger.

830
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: You could see it coming apart at the seams. The

831
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: top one on that list we just talked about in

832
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: the break is the Washington Redskins rookie quarterback, fired GM

833
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback who doesn't fit the system and the owner

834
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: ran the draft and fired the GM. I don't know

835
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: how much film study Dan Schneider did leading I'm gonna

836
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: guess zero outside of watching college football games on sand.

837
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 1: And then there's always guys like Jacksonville with Tom Coughlin

838
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: down there calling the shots and his man Doug Marone,

839
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey outspoken player, new quarterback goods? Does it work?

840
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: Does it not work? New oc there? John D. Philippo.

841
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: What happens in Arizona if this Cliff Kingsbury College offense

842
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: comes in and and gets three points a game? Yeah,

843
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm exaggerate. I don't think they will, but you know,

844
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 1: if it if it blows up, if Kyler Murray isn't

845
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: what they think he is, or maybe he's everything they

846
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: think of he is, but this offense stinks and now

847
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: you got this quarterback who's all whatever. You know, it

848
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: could go anyway, you could. We we've all seen it

849
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: a hundred times where these teams come in and for

850
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: whatever reason, it blows up in their face. In Arizona,

851
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: many unknown. Hey, I'm just gonna say this, Steve, everybody

852
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: thought that Chip Kelly offense was gonna light the world

853
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: on fire when he brought it to the pros from Oregon.

854
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,479
Speaker 1: How'd that go? You know, I'm saying, let me think,

855
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: how'd that go? Well? He ten games two years in

856
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: a row though, Okay, okay, but his management of that

857
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: team was god awful. Yeah, needed, but still because he's

858
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 1: still he still thought he was coaching college kids. Done

859
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: with you? You know, the possibility exists because, as it

860
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: has happened before, for this hot shot offense of some

861
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: kind to fall flat, it could happen. I don't know

862
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: that it will, but totally with you, I don't know

863
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: how the NFL works. I think it doesn't take much

864
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: to send a team in the wrong direction. See how

865
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't work as well? All right, this is this

866

Speaker 1: Bills Live by a writer for NFL at on Yahoo Sports.

912
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: He's been with Yahoo since twenty twelve. Before that, he

913
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 1: was also the beat writer for the Denver Broncos. Frank

914
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: Schwab joins us right now. Frank, You're on the air

915
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: with Steve Tasker and Chris Brown on One Bill's Live.

916
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. How are you guys doing? Doing great?

917
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you. We've got this Twitter poll up

918
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: on our show, and I don't know if you have

919
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: an opinion We've got we're offering choices to everybody. What

920
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: do you think which team? And I this is a

921
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: little tongue in cheek a little bit. We admit which

922
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: team has the best chance to be a powder keg

923
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen? Is it the Browns, the Jets, the

924
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 1: Raiders or somebody else? Wow, that's a really good question.

925
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the Steelers don't get to be on the

926
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: list anymore likely. Now you can go off the board anyway.

927
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: We have other also on our on our Twitter poll.

928
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: You know, I guess you know the Steelers are always there.

929
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: Let's see how they adjust without Antonio Brown, Leveon Bell.

930
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: Maybe that comes down for them. But I do think

931
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: the Raiders made some moves that I really don't I

932
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: just couldn't get my head around they They went to

933
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: the draft talking about, hey, we're gonna draft for I

934
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: kind of dies. We want. You know, the reason we

935
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: drafted Clell and Farrell is he loves a He's a

936
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: Jim Rat type of guy. I'm saying, which Jacobs and

937
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: and Abram their third picks per round pick. But then

938
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: a free agency they go out and get Richie Incognito.

939
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 1: They which you guys know all about that story up

940
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: out there in Buffalo, they go out and get Ponti's perfect.

941
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: Who is the dirtiest player I've ever seen. I've even

942
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: gone as far as they say he's dirtiest player and

943
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: out of all history. I think he's because some of

944
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: the things, like you know, Butist and Tatum we're doing,

945
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: we're actually with him the rules when when they were playing,

946
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: it's this guy's just a constant kind of culture problem,

947
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: I think. And then the Antonio Brown thing too, I

948
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: mean Juno from is a great, great player, and I

949
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: actually like the move for them to get them cheap.

950
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: But he he obviously has his bag as it comes

951
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: to the locker room too, So when he asked which

952
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: which team might be a powder keg, I got to

953
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: look at the rayer. It's just because they they made

954
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: some veteran free Asian moves that just leave me scratching

955
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: my head as to whether they really care about the

956
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: culture and the chemistry and locker and there's no way

957
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: that Farrell is keeping those other volatile personalities in line.

958
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: The guy's gonna be a wet behind on yours, rookie

959
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: in that locker room. They're gonna look at him like

960
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: he's got ten heads. Not to mention the fact we

961
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: haven't mentioned Gruden, who's a hot head himself, and doesn't

962
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,439
Speaker 1: you know, has got a terrible history with quarterbacks being

963
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: too demanding and unrealistic, and Derek Carr's coming off two

964
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: subpar seasons. If things don't go right early, that's good.

965
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean that thing could go sky high and be

966
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Oakland Volcano. Do you think, Frank, do

967
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: you think the Jets can kind of keep it together?

968
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they they were kind of on the exact

969
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: same trajectory as the Buffalo Bills. They kind of got

970
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the same draft. They you know, had

971
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: a lot of money to spend in free agency. And

972
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: then when all that was said and done, they changed

973
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: head coaches at the end of the season and the

974
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: GM so and then the new staff has Greg Williams

975
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: and Joe vitt on it, who were mortal enemies just

976
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: six months ago. And where do you see the Jets

977
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: headed in this scenario? You know, really interesting when I

978
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: was doing my previews and I got to kind of

979
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: where I should rank the Jets, where I should rank

980
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: the Bills there, you know, they're kind of the same

981
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 1: in pocket there. I kind of like the Jets, And

982
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: it's because I really do believe in Sam Darnold. I

983
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: believe in some of the things they're doing. But you know,

984
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm ignoring all the other issues and just

985
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: thinking winning cheers all. When you talk about, you know,

986
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: the issues in the locker room, I don't. I don't

987
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: know necessarily to Levy on Bill is going to be

988
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: a problem or c. J. Mosley is going to be

989
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: an issue, But these guys, it's already been reported, and

990
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: Gays really didn't want them. I think that's a really

991
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: awkward way to start all this. And I don't like

992
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: a lot of those things Gays did in Miami. I

993
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: don't think he was a very good coach there. I

994
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: think that he didn't project to me as the type

995
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: of coach who should automatically get a second chance. He's

996
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: kind of running on the fume still of that twenty

997
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: and thirteen eight Manning season. I mean, really, when you

998
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: look at what he did in Miami, what's what's there?

999
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 1: And a lot of players kind of did a little

1000
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: bit of dance when when he got fired. I mean

1001
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: a lot of X Dolphins maybe, but still it didn't

1002
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: seem like he was totally well liked in that locker.

1003
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: So when you have Gays and this power play he

1004
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: made with mcagnan, and you know, they do have a

1005
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: lot of interesting personalities on that team too, and a

1006
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 1: lot of dysfunction, I could see that blowing up. I could,

1007
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: but I kind of just have faith in their talent

1008
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: to be good. And you know, as you guys know,

1009
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: winning goes here a lot of things if you do.

1010
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're going ten and six, but if

1011
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: you do go ten and six a lot of problems,

1012
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: it might not a surface that you would have had

1013
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: if you're six and ten. So I kind of just

1014
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: believe that maybe the Jets win enough games to keep

1015
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: everybody happy and that becomes a little bit better situation.

1016
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, I can totally understand how, you know, if

1017
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: they're dysfunctional Jets, and that's kind of who that's kind

1018
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: of their trade market. If Yeah, if there's one thing

1019
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: the Jets are good at, it's screwing it up. But

1020
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: so Frank, you mentioned, you know, your previews for the teams,

1021
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: and obviously we kind of gravitated to your right up

1022
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: on the Bills, and you know why. I think a

1023
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: lot of people in Buffalo are excited about the step

1024
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: that they believe Josh Allen can take in year two.

1025
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: There are some statistics that you brought to light that

1026
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: I think would trouble anybody, even the most ardent Bills fan.

1027
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: But ball location was a major focus of Josh's off season,

1028
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: and there were signs of that being demonstrably improved in

1029
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: the spring. Practice is here. Obviously it's not real football yet,

1030
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: and when he's under pressure, I know the numbers aren't

1031
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: great either. So is it just a wait and see

1032
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: for you with Josh in terms of where you're gonna

1033
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna ultimately come down on the Bills. I mean,

1034
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: I know you had to rank him here, but he's

1035
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: kind of the key for you. Yeah, absolutely, because I

1036
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: think the rest is coming together pretty well. I think

1037
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: that defense could be really nasty. I mean, they have

1038
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: added some dudes on that defense. They could be really

1039
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: good on that side of the ball. And you know,

1040
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't love the pieces around Josh Allen, but they've

1041
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 1: obviously improved there. They had a great offseason. I think

1042
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: Bill fans should be very excited about their off season.

1043
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: But yet this is a quarterback driven league, and I

1044
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: don't know where to fall in Josh Allen right now.

1045
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: I really don't like I even talk to people who

1046
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: I trust, I respect, and it's still kind of the same. Like,

1047
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 1: I just don't know where to fall on him. I mean,

1048
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: if he can put it all together, he has such ability,

1049
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: amazing ability. I mean, it's you build that guy in

1050
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: the lap if you're building a quarterback. But one thing

1051
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: he usually doesn't improve his accuracy. If you look at

1052
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 1: at the history of than that I mean, and I'm

1053
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: sure you guys have been through this a million times

1054
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen in the past sixteen months or

1055
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: however long he's been there. Accuracy usually doesn't improve in

1056
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. I know, Matthew Stafford is a rare exception

1057
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: for that. And maybe Josh Allen is a Matthew Stafford.

1058
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 1: Where the mechanics get better is he's playing with better people,

1059
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: better coaches, and he just improves that ball placement like

1060
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: you talked about. But I'm not convinced yet. He had

1061
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: some rough games last year, although his running ability out

1062
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: of nowhere kind of carried the day a little bit.

1063
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that that repeats necessarily because these weren't

1064
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: designed runs, are scrambles. He's a lot better athlete than

1065
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people knew. But I just wonder.

1066
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: I wonder if he can be the kind of guy

1067
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: that stands in the pocket and accurately delivers the ball.

1068
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: Is he could be more like a Cam Newton who

1069
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: has been a very very good quarterback in the NFL,

1070
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: But he still has a years issues and that kind

1071
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: of hold him back just a little bit. So I

1072
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know where to fall on with

1073
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen right now. But I do know that if

1074
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen does take that step, if he is, you know,

1075
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: kind of what I think Sam Darnold might be, what

1076
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: I think everybody thinks Daker Mayfield might be, and just

1077
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: takes that second your leap, the Bills might be really,

1078
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: really good because there's a lot of interesting pieces around him. Yeah,

1079
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: we're talking with Frank Schwab Wrider at Yahoo's Sports, who

1080
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: has done some previews about all the teams around the

1081
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: National Football League. We're kind of focusing on the Bills

1082
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: in the AFC easton, which leaves us one more a

1083
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: couple more to talk about. I want to ask you

1084
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 1: about the guys down in Miami. You know they Josh Rosen,

1085
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Brian Flores as a new head, first

1086
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: time head coach early on people here in Buffalo, and

1087
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: I mean we are talking about, you know, maybe this

1088
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: is a year where Miami tanks. Do you think they

1089
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: can win games in Miami with the roster that they

1090
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 1: they win at all they win games? Yeah, I mean,

1091
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: are they going to put together a season that surprises people?

1092
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: Is there that under the hood down there in Miami.

1093
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. I really like it's tough to look

1094
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: at that roster to expect of a bunch of wins.

1095
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: But they weren't terrible last year. I mean, I know

1096
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 1: that they've gotten rid of a few guys, but it's

1097
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: kind of the skeleton of the team that I think

1098
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: they went seven and nine last year. They were a

1099
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: little out over their skis there, But I don't know

1100
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: there's necessarily home the sixteen team. You got with that one? Now,

1101
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 1: now that's important because nobody remembers the one in fifteen

1102
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: teams through history. You can maybe answer one or two,

1103
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: but should you'd strow. Okay, everybody remembers old sixteen. So

1104
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,919
Speaker 1: at least win one Miami, get that one on the board,

1105
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: and then we'll go for them. I think Brian Flores

1106
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: is a good coach. I think he is a good hire.

1107
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: I think that I really hope that they give him time.

1108
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: I hope that they're patient with him and understand that

1109
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: they dealt him a really bad hand this year. I

1110
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 1: think he can be the kind of guy who can

1111
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: lift the Dolphins finally, if they're patient. This year is

1112
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 1: all about figuring out who fits in his system. Who

1113
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: he wants in his program. He asked getting a good

1114
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: draft pick if I don't, I don't think tanking is

1115
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: such a dirty word. I look, if you're gonna if

1116
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, if you're in Miami Dolphins and you're coming

1117
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: into this season, you're going into your off season preparation,

1118
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: you're saying this team is topping out at seven wins.

1119
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: Maybe what's the point, Well, what's really the point going

1120
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: seven to nine when you have no quarterback? No quarterback

1121
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: for the future? What I tank for. I would definitely

1122
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: thank for Trevor Lawrence. I'll tell you that. I don't

1123
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: know if twas that kind of prospect, but quarterback means

1124
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: so much in the NFL. If you really truly think

1125
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: you're you're not gonna be very good, hit the hit

1126
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: the rebuilt button. Just just blow it up and yeah,

1127
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: it lose a lot for a year, and maybe you

1128
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: get that quarterback who can lift you to brighter days.

1129
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: I think that if the Dolphins end up this year

1130
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,439
Speaker 1: figuring out who fits in Brian Flores a system, figuring

1131
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: out Brian Flores is a right coach when they're gonna

1132
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: be patient with him, and again, they don't necessarily lose

1133
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: sixteen games. I get the fine season for the Dolphins.

1134
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: I think they finally figured out we can't be the

1135
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: splashy team and free agency anymore and then overpaying everybody

1136
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: and trying to win that way. We just gotta go

1137
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: to the Brown's route, really pot them out, maybe get

1138
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the future and then go from there.

1139
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: That leaves one team obviously in the division in New England.

1140
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: And you know, Frank, I'm not going to ask you

1141
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: the question that everybody asks, is this the end of

1142
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: the road for the Patriots? Is Brady Dunn after this year?

1143
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: And all that stuff that is commonly asked. I think

1144
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: everybody realizes that the defending Super Bowl champions are still

1145
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: the favorite to win the AFC East, But the losses

1146
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: here that the roster has endured in New England seems

1147
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: to have taken a little bit more of an uptick

1148
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: than in years past. I mean quintessential pieces. You know,

1149
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: Gronk is no longer part of the equation. On offense,

1150
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: they completely flip their wide receiving cores. Granted not world beaters,

1151
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: but Hogan's not there, Cordarell Patterson's not there. They sign

1152
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of one year contract, guys who aren't exactly

1153
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: lighting the world on fire to marry As Thomas, probably

1154
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: not going to play this year if at all. And

1155
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: then on defense they get rid of their best pass

1156
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: rusher and Trey Flowers, Malcolm Brown's on Trent Brown, their

1157
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,479
Speaker 1: left tackles gone. I know they're getting their draft choice

1158
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: kid back this year that they made a first round

1159
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: pick last year. But I guess the question I'm getting

1160
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,959
Speaker 1: to Frank here, is New England capable of still being

1161
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: a championship contender. I don't think anybody debates they're probably

1162
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: still the best team in the AFC East, But are

1163
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: they a championship contender? You know, they might go in

1164
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: through the back door a little bit. I mean, this

1165
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: might not be your your fourteen and two Patriots team

1166
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: that has the number one seed, but it kind of

1167
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: reminds me of you know, I think it was the

1168
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine Celtics who are kind of running on fumes,

1169
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: and you get the game seven and everybody thinks the

1170
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: Lakers is gonna knock them off finally, and just their

1171
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: experience and their guile in a one game situation, how

1172
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: it carries them through. And I think we can kind

1173
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: of see the same path with the Patriots, where okay,

1174
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: just get in, you're gonna win the probably gonna win

1175
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: the East unless things really go off the rails. But

1176
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: let's let's just assume they're gonna be ASC's champs. That

1177
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,959
Speaker 1: means you're in the postseason and all of a sudden,

1178
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: it's a one game scenario, and you have Bill Belichick

1179
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: the game plan against these teams, and you know, assuming

1180
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is still mostly what he is, that's a tough,

1181
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: formidable combination. And are you really betting against the Patriots

1182
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: in a one game scenario if they have to go

1183
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs again? I mean, can they all coach

1184
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and figure out a way to beat them? Well,

1185
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: we've seen that. Can they figure out a way to

1186
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: go beat the Ravens, those Steelers or whatever? Yes? And

1187
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: so I can't sit here and say, even if they

1188
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: let's say they're at ten and sixteen this year, if

1189
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: they just get in the dance, I can't. I can't

1190
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: really pick against them because they've just shown time after

1191
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: time after time they can figure out how to beat you.

1192
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: It's uncanny, it's unbelievable. It's why they're, in my opinion,

1193
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: the greatest dynasty of American professional sports history, and just

1194
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: for that reason alone. All those issues you brought up

1195
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: are true, all of losses that are valid. But yet

1196
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: we they get into the playoffs, How on earth can

1197
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: you pick against this team who's just shown us time

1198
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: and time and time again that they can take what

1199
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:58,919
Speaker 1: they got and find a way to beach. We're talking

1200
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: to Frank Schwab, writer who Sports, who's been talking about

1201
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: the AFC East and some of the evaluations and the

1202
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: rankings that he's put together this offseason. I want to

1203
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: move and change suns to the labor. Yeah, I just

1204
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: want to change subject for just a minute. One thing

1205
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: on the on the distant Horiz, Well, the distant Horiz

1206
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: maybe eighteen or twenty four months away, is the end

1207
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: of this collective bargaining agreement between the league and the

1208
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: players union. They've already started to meet their meeting, seems

1209
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: like loosely saying scheduled once a month. They're getting together.

1210
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Are they just setting the agenda for now until the

1211
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: heat gets turned up, or do we really expect something

1212
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: substantive to get to get done. I know there was

1213
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: a report out there I think it was Dan Graziano

1214
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,959
Speaker 1: of ESPN is a very good reporter, and he said

1215
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: that they're going to try to get something done before

1216
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: the regular Season's very skeptical too, there, Yeah, right right.

1217
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: There are so many issues that have to be ironed out,

1218
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: and I think the NFL did itself a disservice in this.

1219
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: You know, they were very excited to run a victory lap,

1220
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: basically kind of reminded, kin't rub the players knows in

1221
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: it over and over that hey, we beat you in

1222
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: the CBA battle and it's whether that's good, health, power

1223
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: or what. All these issues that players have, it's been reminded.

1224
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: They've been reminded time after time and time after again,

1225
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: we beat you in the last CBA battle. And if

1226
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't get the players kind of on edge and

1227
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: finally together to the point where they're saying we're willing

1228
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: to miss games to make this better, I don't know

1229
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: what else will. Now. We haven't seen the Union do

1230
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: that in a really long time, since eighty seven really,

1231
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: when they really dug in their hills and miss games.

1232
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: So I'm skeptical that anything's gonna get done. I'm also

1233
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: skeptical that the players have the kind of solidarity to

1234
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: sit out there. They're in such a bad spot. And

1235
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: you guys know this, Steve, you know this better than

1236
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: anybody that when you come into the NFL, you know

1237
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: mostly for most of these guys, they're not Tom Brady

1238
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: playing twenty years. They're playing two three years. They're not

1239
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: sitting out a half a season for what's going to

1240
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: make things better in two thousand and twenty five. There

1241
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: they're worried about where in my paycheck. They're worried about

1242
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: how I maximize the money I'm going to make in

1243
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 1: this very very short, non guaranteed career I'm in. So

1244
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that the players can get it together.

1245
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: I also, I think at some point, and this is

1246
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: probably a fool there, and but I would hope at

1247
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: some point the NFL kind of looks up and says,

1248
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: we have the best, one of the best businesses period

1249
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: in America. That's like a sports I'm talking one of

1250
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: the best businesses period in America. Why are we screwing

1251
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: this up? Why are we e been risking over what

1252
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: over Roger Goodell's power over an eighteen game regular season?

1253
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,919
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Let's not kill the golden goose. Here,

1254
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: let's figure something out where we can maybe be more

1255
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: partners with the players. It never seemed like a partnership

1256
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: to me anyway, just covering the league for a long time,

1257
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: it's always seemed very epitherial to me. Yeah, And it

1258
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: would seem to me that an easy give for the

1259
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: owners to kind of maybe establish some kind of bridging

1260
01:03:58,200 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: of the gap, so to speak, in terms of the

1261
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: differences that the two sides have, is the whole issue

1262
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: of marijuana being in the confines of the drug policy.

1263
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: That's an easy give for the owners to make it

1264
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: look like, hey, we're giving you something, isn't it. Isn't

1265
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: that like an easy chip to like flip to the players.

1266
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: I agree, And I think maybe shortening a preseason as

1267
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: another one. And I think we're what you're really going

1268
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: to have. The players can have to prioritize what they want, Like,

1269
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: is marijuana that big of a deal? Okay, that's fine,

1270
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: we'll get that for you. But what about guaranteed contracts?

1271
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: Is that what you really want? You want this baseball

1272
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: basketball model where most of the contracts are guaranteed, Well,

1273
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: you have to dig in on that, and you're gonna

1274
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: have to give up something you're gonna have to have

1275
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: to play, you know, eighteen games of the expanded playoffs

1276
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: or something. I mean, it's it's an interesting there's a

1277
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts here, and yes, the players, I

1278
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: think the major thing they're gonna have to do is

1279
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: prioritize what they really want to fight for. Is it

1280
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: guaranteed contract? Is Roger Gudolf power? I think I think

1281
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of weird how the NFL has never

1282
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: wanted to give this up, how the NFL is just

1283
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Goodell specifically is just kind of we won't do arbitration.

1284
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm judge, surey executioner. Well, okay, then why needlessly kind

1285
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: of pope the bearer that way? I mean, this is

1286
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: something that's important to the players. But yes, I do

1287
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: think when when d Murray Smith and the union gets

1288
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: together and really really starts to dig down on this thing,

1289
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to prioritize what they want

1290
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: because they're not getting everything. And I think the one

1291
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: thing that's really going to stick out to me anyway

1292
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: is guaranteed contracts, right, because I just don't think the

1293
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: owners want to do that. And I think it's something

1294
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: the players really do want because it would make it

1295
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: would make their lives better. That's probably that's why we're

1296
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: going to send it to the eleventh hour. Yeah, yeah,

1297
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: they you know, they play hurt, they play with concussions,

1298
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: and why because they have no guaranteed deals and they're worried. Again,

1299
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the league that they're not the thirty

1300
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: percent stars, but the seventy percent of the league is

1301
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: always worried about, Hey, if I'm not out there on Sunday,

1302
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: I might be gone. So if guerante contracts fix that events, yeah,

1303
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: the Frank will tell you. I'll tell you this. The

1304
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: owners will say, listen, if we guarantee the contracts, nobody

1305
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: will play on Sunday. They'll all come up with a

1306
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 1: reason because nobody wants to go in and jump through

1307
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: jump and break a wedge or what have you when

1308
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 1: they've already were they gonna get paid anyway. That's the

1309
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: big and Steve would probably make the argument that you

1310
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: already kind of see that to some degree now with

1311
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: the guaranteed money that's in some current contracts. Levy and

1312
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: Bill maybe being the most prime example. I mean, the

1313
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: guy's kind of coasting through the whole spring with a

1314
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: brand new football team because he's got thirty million dollars guarantee.

1315
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,439
Speaker 1: And the simple fact of the matter is this, Frank

1316
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: can see what you think about this. Players could already

1317
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: get guaranteed contracts if they wanted, because the teams have

1318
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 1: the freedom to do that. The problem is a player

1319
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: wants to roll the dice and say I'm going to

1320
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 1: take a shot at fifty million dollars over the course

1321
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 1: of five years, rather than I'll say I'll take thirty

1322
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: million dollars and guarantee the thirty or take twenty million

1323
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: dollars and I'll guarantee twenty million dollars over the five

1324
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: years instead of asking for taking a chance on being

1325
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: able to get fifty. So if a player is willing

1326
01:06:56,160 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: to take less money, the team would would be willing

1327
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, we're sure the guy's going to play that,

1328
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: but we'll guarantee more of it that way. So if

1329
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: a players willing to take less money they can get

1330
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: a guaranteed they can get a guaranteed contract. I would

1331
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: because that's still on the table in the negotiation process. Now, correct, Yes,

1332
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: that's a great point. It really is that the players

1333
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: could go about this a different way and not settle

1334
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: up for this kind of funny money at the back

1335
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: of contracts and make the agents look a little bit better.

1336
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: You know, when you're five years fifty million, it's like, Okay,

1337
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: how much is this really? Is? This? Is this eighteen

1338
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: million over two years? What are we dealing with here?

1339
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: And so I think you're absolutely right on that, and

1340
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: are some players that do have leverage to get that

1341
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: With Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousin got an eighty four million

1342
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: guaranteed because he had leverage for it. So I think

1343
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: that's that's a valid point. But I think that, you know,

1344
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: the rank and file players don't have that kind of power.

1345
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: They would like their league minimum seven or sixty five

1346
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: thousand to be guaranteed. You know, I'm worried about getting

1347
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: cut next week. I think that that's something that it's

1348
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting because all the points you bring up,

1349
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: it's very valid, and points about hey, they're worried about Hey,

1350
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, I'm not going to play at this anstring

1351
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: injury in week three if my contract guaranteed, oh well

1352
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: why would I I think that that's valid too, But

1353
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't know maybe I just have faith in the players, saying,

1354
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: you know you're paying me, I'm going to go out

1355
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: and play. See the NBA players are guaranteed money, and

1356
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 1: they play very hard, they play very well. So I

1357
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: don't know, that's the one I think that's the one

1358
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: thing that might really become a sticking point in these

1359
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: CEVA negotiating. He's Frank Schraub, an NFL writer at Yahoo Sports,

1360
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: has been there since twenty twelve, or formerly a Denver

1361
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Bronco beat writer. Thanks for being with us, Frank. We

1362
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. We'll see you down the road. Yeah,

1363
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: no doubt. Thanks. That was and that was It's interesting

1364
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: when you talk about what the players could give up,

1365
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 1: what they could negotiate with all the different aspects of

1366
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 1: the game and the business part of the game and

1367
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 1: the players part of the game, and the owner's part

1368
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: of the game that are up for grabs in these

1369
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: negotiations and what can be changed and dealt with. And

1370
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, Frank astutely pointed out what one of the

1371
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: issues are just among the player group themselves. You have

1372
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: superstar players who want certain things, and then you have

1373
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 1: and then you have players who are just scraping to

1374
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 1: get by in this league and carve out ant carve

1375
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 1: out a career long enough to qualify for an NFL

1376
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 1: pension that want much different things moment for me when

1377
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: I got when I got invested in. Yeah. So I

1378
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:24,759
Speaker 1: think it just speaks to the difficulty that I believe

1379
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:30,719
Speaker 1: the NFLPA is going to have to properly prioritize these

1380
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 1: are our main gets. We need to get these three

1381
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: things in the next CBA. I don't know that anybody.

1382
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're going to have a distinct

1383
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: majority in determining what those three things are to be

1384
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: consensus right, and so so that's number one. And then

1385
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:52,520
Speaker 1: number two is what he was saying. You know, uh,

1386
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: where are the rank and file? Where's the middle class

1387
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: in this NFLPA? Does it even exist anymore? Or are

1388
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: we just going to have the superstar make the majar,

1389
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, the one percenters so to speak, in the NFLPA,

1390
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: and then the rest are going to be the bottom

1391
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 1: feeders for lack of a better term, I mean, where

1392
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: are we with that? Where are we? I mean they

1393
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 1: took steps to take care of the rookie contracts to

1394
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,720
Speaker 1: bring them more in line and push more respect and

1395
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 1: more of the money pool to the veteran players who

1396
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: have been in the league and earn their stripes and

1397
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: so rookie contracts and negotiating them became a whole lot

1398
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 1: easier for NFL clubs because they were slotted much the

1399
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: way the NBA did it. And that was a good

1400
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: thing because now you don't have top players that you're

1401
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,799
Speaker 1: counting on holding out for training camp and missing training

1402
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: camp because their contracts not done yet. That was a

1403
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: good thing. But are you still going to do right

1404
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 1: by those seven eight nine year veterans who are still

1405
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: in the league or is the balance of what you

1406
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: ask for going to shift back more to the players

1407
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: going on their second contracts where they're making the giant money.

1408
01:10:55,560 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 1: Who's going to wield the power in determining what the

1409
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: priority list will be for the NFLPA. That's what's going

1410
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: to be fascinating for me before you even get to

1411
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: the table, right And I think also because and Frank

1412
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 1: Schwab and we want to thank for Schwab again from

1413
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: Yah who for coming on with us. I think one

1414
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: of the interesting things for me, So, guys, what are

1415
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: the owners gonna ask for because, as Frank Schwab told

1416
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: us in our interview just a moment ago, and we've

1417
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: heard around the country and all the mediautlets, and the

1418
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 1: owners kind of rubbed the players faces and at last time,

1419
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: what's left for them to get? What would they like

1420
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: to get or what would they give up? You know,

1421
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: I kind of think what's important for the owners right

1422
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 1: now just staying here or would they like to move forward.

1423
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: It's that's an interesting question. We've got thirty two NFL

1424
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:48,600
Speaker 1: owners or owner groups who have made money beyond anybody's,

1425
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 1: beyond the average joe's wildest imagination, and people of that

1426
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 1: wealth know how to build on that wealth even more.

1427
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:04,520
Speaker 1: And you bet your bottom dollar that they are constantly

1428
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:08,919
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to cultivate and expand that revenue

1429
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: pool for the ownership. I mean, I don't think there's

1430
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 1: any secret about that. So they're interested in generating more

1431
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 1: revenue and building the product more. When this was an

1432
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: eight billion dollars a year business, they didn't sit on

1433
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 1: their hands and say, hey, we're doing pretty good. Yeah.

1434
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 1: They grew it more. They grew the pie larger and

1435
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: larger and larger. And so are they at a point

1436
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 1: where they feel that the pie can be divvied up

1437
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 1: in a different way, a more equitable way. Are they

1438
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 1: looking to give the players a ton more? I don't

1439
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 1: think so. I mean they may acquiesce in certain areas

1440
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 1: that are that's palatable to them. And that's why I

1441
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: mentioned to Schwab, I said, hey, that taking that marijuana

1442
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: thing out of the drug policy, that's an easy give

1443
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: for the owners to give to the players. What are

1444
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 1: you giving up. You're not really giving up anything, but

1445
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:05,679
Speaker 1: you give a headache, is what you're giving up? Yeah,

1446
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: And you're and what you're giving and what you're giving

1447
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: play what you're giving the players. And you know, we've

1448
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: seen written reports over the years saying certainly more than

1449
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the league partakes in recreational use of marijuana.

1450
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's probably a safe percentage about half the league, right,

1451
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: Is that important for them? The half that you and

1452
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: I are not in well correct? Correct? But I'm trying

1453
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,600
Speaker 1: to be open minded about get it. You know there's

1454
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: something you might get Denver, And you got right. And

1455
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,799
Speaker 1: the NBA already has pulled it from their drug policy.

1456
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: It's been out of their drug policy for years. And

1457
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: with the advanced medicinal, proven medicinal benefits you know of

1458
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: the drug, not the same issue it has, right, but

1459
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 1: but it also opens the door and the freedom for

1460
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: that recreational use which may be appealing to players. Does

1461
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 1: that even make the priority list for the players? It

1462
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: may not. Maybe it will, Maybe there'll be enough guys

1463
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: jumping on the table say I want. I want to

1464
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: be able to roll one at the end of the

1465
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 1: week after a game. Who knows? Who knows? You're right?

1466
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 1: Who knows? And I think that's gonna be the fun

1467
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: part to see what issues emerges being important to both sides.

1468
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: For us sitting back, I just hope they get it done,

1469
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, because we're gonna be sitting here on our

1470
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: hands for a long time if we don't have any

1471
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: games to cover. I hate to say it, but like

1472
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:26,560
Speaker 1: all things that mean this much, that are of this magnitude,

1473
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down through the eleventh thousand Steve Task

1479
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: the and the league getting together and talking things out,

1480

Speaker 1: hashing things out. We're also going to talk about five

1481

1487
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 1: Is actually absolutely a spectacular day outside. We're talking about

1488
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 1: which team has the best chance to be a powder

1489
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: keg in twenty nineteen. We started out and I think

1490
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: one of the things that we thought about and like, well,

1491
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 1: just let me get this right here, it's the Browns,

1492
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Raiders, or somebody else. We've had this

1493
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: conversation about, you know, some of the other teams that

1494
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: might be candidates for you know, having things blow up

1495
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: in their face unexpectedly this year. And I think the

1496
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 1: first one that came to mind for you and me,

1497
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: or one of the most prime candidates is the Washington Redskins. Yeah,

1498
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: that is, um, well, it's always volatile there just because

1499
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,600
Speaker 1: if your own start with the owner, just because of

1500
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: your owner, and you know, he moved out, the GM

1501
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:01,559
Speaker 1: pretty much ran the draft. Got a quarterback who a

1502
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: lot of people do not believe is a fit for

1503
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 1: Jake Ruden's offense because Dwayne Haskins is not known as

1504
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: an anticipatory thrower. He's a see it and throw it guy,

1505
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: which Taylor, which is what he did at Ohio State.

1506
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 1: And now he's going to have to be Now he's

1507
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: immersed in a timing based offense, anticipate throw to the spot,

1508
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And I don't know. I mean,

1509
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: I guess you could adjust to that, But how well

1510
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,800
Speaker 1: is a rookie going to adjust to that when he's

1511
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: got some guy screaming off the edge or Fletcher Cox

1512
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 1: is bearing down on him, ready to bury him into

1513
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: the turf. I mean, he's going to be effective in

1514
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 1: being anticipatory and throwing to the spot. Not only that,

1515
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: he's got a largely unproven core of wide receivers. You know,

1516
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: he's got Paul Richardson who's kind of put together an

1517
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,760
Speaker 1: okay career but really has never been more than a

1518
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:54,839
Speaker 1: number three guy in any offense, whether it was Seattle

1519
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: or with Washington. Josh Doxon, who was a former first

1520
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 1: round pick of Theirs, has been an injury. Mayor Terry

1521
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 1: McLaurin they just drafted in the third round. The kid

1522
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,760
Speaker 1: can fly, and yes he has a history with Haskins.

1523
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 1: That helps because they're both coming from Ohio State. But

1524
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: he's a rookie and he's you know what I mean,

1525
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. Um. And then after that it's a

1526
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: bunch of unproven dudes um. You know. In the offensive line, yeah,

1527
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty good. They got two good tackles, but

1528
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: injuries are starting to catch up with Trent Williams. Williams

1529
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: isn't he who's the left tackle that wanted out of

1530
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 1: there because they misdiagnosed. No, no, no no, no, no, Tian

1531
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: Seki is here in Buffalo. I'm talking about. Trent Williams

1532
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:37,640
Speaker 1: is the guy who demanded a trade because Redskins misdiagnosed

1533
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: his ailment and he wants no part of them anymore.

1534
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: So there's so that's there, and then you have nothing

1535
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: but injury and age at tight end. Because Jordan read

1536
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: cannot stay healthy, has not been through a sixteen game season,

1537
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: I think ever. And then even Vernon Davis, I mean,

1538
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: how old is he now? Thirty four, thirty five? And

1539
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,560
Speaker 1: then and then the week spot on defense is you

1540
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 1: have very average inside linebackers in that three four scheam.

1541
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: The Washington club has invested heavily in defensive line picks,

1542
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: and they did it again. I mean, Montes Sweat's gonna

1543
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 1: play outside linebacker in their three four, but he's gonna

1544
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 1: be up on the line. I mean the last three years.

1545
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, twenty seventeen they draft Jonathan Allen the defensive end,

1546
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen they draft Aron Payne, the nose tackle. And

1547
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:27,600
Speaker 1: now they've gone back to the front lines again with

1548
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 1: Montes Sweats. So while that's a great looking defensive line,

1549
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 1: they could stand to add a linebacker or two that

1550
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,799
Speaker 1: can run. And hint, they got some in two inside

1551
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: guys that are getting long in the tooth and their

1552
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:44,759
Speaker 1: best years are probably behind them. You know. Gruden is also,

1553
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: I mean he's getting a little long and long tenured

1554
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,759
Speaker 1: in Washington. I remember it used to be they'd washed

1555
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 1: through those guys through there. Every two years. They were

1556
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: getting a new head coach. Gruden has has seen it

1557
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 1: all through there right now. He is no question a

1558
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: good coach, and I think he's done an outstanding job

1559
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 1: there for for a while with what he's been given

1560
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:09,679
Speaker 1: to work with. But how long? How long? How patient

1561
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: is Dan Schneider? Are we getting to the hair trigger

1562
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: point here? You know? How can he not? Right? I

1563
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: mean he's eight years I'm sorry, not that's not eight years?

1564
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: How many times years has he been there since? Uh? Since? Well?

1565
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: Here it is twenty fourteen to the president. This is

1566
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: he going to his fifth year. He's at the end

1567
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: of his cond his first contract, and I think he's

1568
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: probably been extended. But that seemed like a long time

1569
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: in today's NFL, does it not without having some sort

1570
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: of tangible success, right? No, I would agree with that.

1571
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: And they're not even the only team that could fit

1572
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: in this powder k category in the division because you

1573
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: got the Giants also, Oh my gosh, I mean, Dave

1574
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 1: Getleman may as well be public enemy number one with

1575
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: every Giants fan on the planet. I mean the Daniel

1576
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: Jones pick, the Odell Beckham junior trade a year after

1577
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: signing him to a Giant contract extension, letting Landon Collins

1578
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 1: get away, they're unquestioned leader on defense to go to

1579
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: Washington in the division, let alone that you know. So

1580
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: you roll all that together, and then you recognize what

1581
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 1: could potentially be on the very near horizon. Eli Manning

1582
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,320
Speaker 1: at age thirty eight and a twenty three point two

1583
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: million dollars cap figure, could be on the bench by

1584
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: October if things don't go right. And then Daniel Jones

1585
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: is in a quarterback that no Giants fans seemingly wanted,

1586
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: could be in the lineup, playing and struggling. I just

1587
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 1: have a I'm with you the Giants. I have a

1588
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 1: hard time rationalizing what they've done over this last draft

1589
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 1: and the draft before this one. I get say, Quon

1590
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: Barkley as a transcendent player. He's good, but he plays

1591
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: running back. Yeah, the shortest musician in football. He could

1592
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 1: have a I just think that's crazy talk. When you've

1593
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: got a quarterback class that came out like the one

1594
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: we've just seen with Baker Mayfield, with Josh Allen, with

1595
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: Sam Darnel, with Josh Rosen, with a kid in Baltimore,

1596
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. You've got five guys taken in the first

1597
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 1: round the Giants were sitting there at what number two,

1598
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: and they take a running back and you know, I

1599
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,799
Speaker 1: know they wouldn't have drafted Jim Brown at that spot.

1600
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: And this wasn't a first round pick on Dave Gettlman's wash.

1601
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 1: But they they washed their hands of Eric Flowers, who

1602
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: was an abysmal offensive tackle there and move him on

1603
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,719
Speaker 1: and he's actually playing guard for Washington of all places.

1604
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 1: But the guy they replaced him with was Mike Remers,

1605
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: who was a veteran offensive lineman last with Minnesota. But man,

1606
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: I think Remors is a guard, not a tackle. That's

1607
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a liability over there, you know. And if

1608
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: you've got an older quarterback who can't move an ELI

1609
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 1: or a younger quarter back who is probably not going

1610
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: to be able to process things quick enough. In Daniel Jones,

1611
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 1: I think the Giants may not be a powder keg internally,

1612
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: but externally among the fan base and with the media,

1613
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: that could get really ugly, really fast. Which team has

1614
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: the best chance to be a powder keg in twenty nineteen?

1615
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 1: Is it going to be the Raiders, the Jets, the Browns,

1616
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: or somebody else who from the tweet sheets twice as

1617
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: nice says it's got to be the Browns. As soon

1618
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 1: as Mayfield starts showing the slightest signs of a sophomore slump,

1619
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: the team and fan base will second guess him. Then

1620
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 1: first year head coach will get the brunt of their frustration,

1621
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 1: and O. B J won't get enough touches. I think

1622
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: they start to implode before week ten. I think week ten.

1623
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 1: I get it. But yeah, that's that's kind of an

1624
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,680
Speaker 1: interesting thought about this. And thanks twice as nice for

1625
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 1: the tweet. But here's the thing, Brownie, you talk about

1626
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: blowing it up in their face. I think if it's

1627
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:58,719
Speaker 1: going to blow up in your face, it happens before

1628
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 1: week ten, you know what I mean. I think it's

1629
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 1: like a like first half of the season kind of

1630
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: thing for six six weeks of the year, because that's

1631
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 1: when you can. You can't win the division in six weeks,

1632
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 1: even going six and oh, but you can lose it.

1633
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: And the only thing I'll disagree with with that assessment,

1634
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't think Baker Mayfield is somebody to worry about. Yeah,

1635
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 1: I think he's Okay, that's the last guy I'm worried about,

1636
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: right because I'm relying on that guy to keep the

1637
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 1: other jokesters in line, you know what I mean, Like

1638
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 1: tell OBJ to go shut up and sit down and

1639
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 1: I'll throw you the ball when you're open, that kind

1640
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: of thing. And I think Mayfield's got the stones to

1641
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 1: do that, you know, even though Beckham's been to perennial

1642
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls and you know whatever. My concern is how

1643
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: that ball is going to be divvied up to the

1644
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: satisfaction of all the people involved. I mean, Jarvis Landry's

1645
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 1: caught one hundred balls three or four times in his

1646
01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: career every season almost and that number is going to

1647
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 1: take a hit, whether he likes it or not. He's

1648
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: not catching a hundred balls this year. He's probably catching

1649
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 1: sixty five. Right. That's a big drop off for a

1650
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,839
Speaker 1: guy with who's expecting to be target who's been targeted

1651
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: twelve times a game in his career more often than not,

1652
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, and now he's gonna

1653
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: have to give some of that up. How's he going

1654
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: to handle that number one? Number two? Beckham's probably not

1655
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 1: going to see as much of the ball either, because

1656
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 1: as talented as he is, there are other weapons here

1657
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,600
Speaker 1: that they're gonna want to spread the ball around to

1658
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 1: you know in New York he was Option A, B

1659
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:41,840
Speaker 1: and C, and then Sterling Shepard was Option D and

1660
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: say Quon Barkley was option They didn't have anybody else, right, No,

1661
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean the tight Ends a nice young kid too,

1662
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 1: and Ingram that they have there at the Giants. But

1663
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it was clear where

1664
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 1: the ball was going to go twelve times a week.

1665
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: And while I think Beckham does walk in and it

1666
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:02,640
Speaker 1: is probably the number one target, I don't know if

1667
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: he's getting twelve balls a week, there's unless they're throwing

1668
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 1: at fifty five times a game. There's a lot of

1669
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 1: moving parts over there, not alone, let alone a new

1670
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: head coach, first time head coach at need level, Steve Task,

1671

Speaker 1: along with Chris Brown and one Bills Lives. Coming to

1672
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, we're gonna talk about the article.

1673
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: I gave you credit for writing the article. It's actually yours,

1674
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: my intern, Nate Mendelson. Date Mendelson wrote this article Five

1675
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: defensive playmakers to look forward Bill's training camp. We're gonna

1676
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 1: talk about that next segment. Robert Foster had some nice

1677
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: little statistics come out over the weekend, and we're gonna

1678
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 1: talk about those. This is Steve Tasker and Chris Brown

1679
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive and this

1680
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1681
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: Steve task along with Chris Brown, Murph is on vacation

1682
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 1: for the rest of the week. We're talking about which

1683
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 1: team has the best chance to be a powder keg

1684
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:58,719
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. We talked to Frank Schwab of Yahoo

1685
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: Sports earlier in the program with this came across the

1686
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:07,759
Speaker 1: social media yesterday or today. Robert Foster Pro Football Focus

1687
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 1: put this out and it was a tweet about passer

1688
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: ratings when players are targeted minimum thirty targets in the seed.

1689
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 1: During the season, Robert Foster was number one in the

1690
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: National Football League for quarterback rating when the quarterback was

1691
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: throwing him the football. I'm sorry the AFC East, not

1692
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. He led the AFC East in quarterback rating

1693
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 1: when he was targeted by his quarterback with one hundred

1694
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 1: and twenty seven point two quarterback rating. Second was Kenyon Drake,

1695
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: the running back from the Dolphins. Third was Josh Gordon

1696
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,879
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Fourth was Chris Hogan of the Patriots.

1697
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: Fifth was Chris Herndon of the Jets, Robert Foster the

1698
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: most efficient receiving threat in the AFC East whenever he

1699
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: was targeted US. It's pretty good. The reason why it's

1700
01:26:56,600 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 1: impressive is because a lot of the passes he pulled

1701
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 1: in we're not high percentage throws. Steve Yeah. I mean

1702
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 1: we're talking fifteen twenty thirty yards down field at the

1703
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: catch point. And you look at a guy like Hogan

1704
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: on that list and works out of the slot a

1705
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:25,479
Speaker 1: good amount of the time. You know, there are guys

1706
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 1: on that list making Kenyan Drake. I mean, he's not

1707
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 1: twenty yards downfield. He's pulling, he's getting swings passes, He's

1708
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 1: getting swing passes and checked down to throw yea. So

1709
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,600
Speaker 1: to see Foster's number that high in terms of the

1710
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 1: passer rating when targeted, I think is an encouraging sign.

1711
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 1: And that's why when I was on the show with

1712
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 1: you a couple of weeks ago and we were talking

1713
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 1: about undrafted player on this roster who's going to have

1714
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:53,680
Speaker 1: the biggest season. You know, I know a lot of

1715
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 1: people are picking coleb Easley, and I understand why, but

1716
01:27:56,160 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: I think Foster has the ability to make more game

1717
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 1: changing plays to help this team win football games this year,

1718
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:08,679
Speaker 1: maybe more than any other player on this roster, although

1719
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:10,679
Speaker 1: John Brown would probably give him a run for his money.

1720
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 1: What will it look like if Robert Foster takes a

1721
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: step forward given the elevated play around him. Well, that's

1722
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:19,680
Speaker 1: my point. It might not be as many. He might

1723
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 1: not get thirty targets in eight games, you know what

1724
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Well, at the same time, he's not going

1725
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: to get as much rolled coverage either. I mean, you

1726
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: put John Brown on one side, Robert Foster on the other,

1727
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley in the slot. What coverage your playing?

1728
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna play cover two and leave Beasley underneath the

1729
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 1: nickel and diming to death all day, Like, tell me

1730
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,720
Speaker 1: what you're doing, Tell me what you're doing there. So,

1731
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, by the end of the season, teams were

1732
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,559
Speaker 1: rolling coverage to his side of the field. And that's

1733
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: part of the reason why Zay Jones production saw a

1734
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 1: spike over the last six games of the season. You

1735
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 1: look at Zay Jones spike in production, it's largely over

1736
01:28:57,960 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 1: the last six games of the year. Well, that's when

1737
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,800
Speaker 1: Robert Foster re entered the lineup. Right. I mean that

1738
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:06,599
Speaker 1: wasn't by accident. And now I think he will reap

1739
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 1: the benefits of having players like John Brown and Cole

1740
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 1: Beasley on the field because I think he'll get more

1741
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 1: one on one matchups, maybe some more off coverage to

1742
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 1: boot and I think that's going to benefit his production

1743
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,920
Speaker 1: even more. Yeah, that's It's the interesting thing because there's

1744
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: so many new faces on that side of the football,

1745
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:26,640
Speaker 1: so many new important pieces. Had a chance to talk to.

1746
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: I ran across Tyler Croft in the hallway today. He's

1747
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: in town getting in Shay. He's doing everything he can

1748
01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:33,599
Speaker 1: given the fact that what he can do with his injury,

1749
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:37,639
Speaker 1: his foot that they that they had surgically repaired. Um,

1750
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 1: he's not going to be out that long. As to

1751
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: whether how long it holds up or how good he's

1752
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 1: gonna be. One thing that struck me. I had spoken

1753
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 1: to him before when I was with CBS, But Tyler

1754
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: Croft is a big dude. He's like six six, just

1755
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 1: like Dawson Knox is a big dude. Yeah. They have.

1756
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 1: They've really got some size, not only in their tight

1757
01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:01,720
Speaker 1: end room, but also that on the offensive line. They

1758
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:05,360
Speaker 1: brought in some guys that carry some stature around with them,

1759
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 1: and it's not all around their waist. I mean, it's

1760
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 1: they've got some guys. It's going to be interesting to

1761
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 1: see with all the new faces and all the reason

1762
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: for optimism that we carry around with us all the time,

1763
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 1: can they put it together and bring it together? That's

1764
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:20,280
Speaker 1: the big sixty four dollar question. What's it going to

1765
01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:22,600
Speaker 1: look like when all these new pieces come together? And

1766
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 1: that's that's been what coach McDermott has talked about time

1767
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 1: and again. The biggest challenge facing this team is the blend. Yeah,

1768
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 1: I mean, and people naturally focus on the offensive line,

1769
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:38,400
Speaker 1: knowing how important it is to have a cohesive unit

1770
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 1: operating as one up front, but there are a lot

1771
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 1: of other areas of this team that have to blend

1772
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 1: together and quickly because time is growing short here. You know,

1773
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 1: from the start of training camp to the end of

1774
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:57,719
Speaker 1: the preseason you're talking about five weeks. Yeah, it's a month,

1775
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean four and a half weeks at best, with

1776
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 1: off days where they're not Yeah, and that he I mean,

1777
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 1: coach mcdermot's been talking about that since April. Yeah, he

1778
01:31:08,479 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 1: knew what a challenge the plan was going to be

1779
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 1: because he even said himself, by the time we get

1780
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 1: down to fifty three, there's a very good chance that

1781
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 1: more than half of our roster will be new. Think

1782
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:22,640
Speaker 1: about that for a second. Yea more than half the

1783
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 1: roster will be new. Yeah, if there's a lot of

1784
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:27,719
Speaker 1: new moving parts. We started this segment talking about Robert Foster.

1785
01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 1: He's number one in the AFC East in quarterback rating.

1786
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,800
Speaker 1: When he was targeted. He was number twentieth in the

1787
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 1: NFL after playing, after being on the team, off the team,

1788
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 1: back on the team, and then inserted into the starting lineup.

1789
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:40,559
Speaker 1: We've been talking a lot in this segment. It's really

1790
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:42,880

01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,800
Speaker 1: Forward Kevin Lebank signed a one year contract with the

1811
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:59,599
Speaker 1: San Jose Sharks yesterday, worth one million dollars. He had

1812
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 1: seven ten goals thirty nine assists for sixty five for

1813
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:06,320
Speaker 1: fifty six points in eighty two regular season games last year.

1814
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 1: The two thousand nineteen Wimbledon quarterfinals are taking place today.

1815
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 1: Simona Hallop has reached the semifinal for the first time

1816
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 1: in five years with a comprehensive six one win over

1817
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:22,760
Speaker 1: quarterfinalists Zang Shui Serena Williams advanced to her twelfth Wimbledon

1818
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:27,000
Speaker 1: semifinal with a six four four six six three victory

1819
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:31,519
Speaker 1: over Alison Risque. The two nineteen Home Run Derby took

1820
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 1: place last night at Cleveland's Progressive Field, where Blue Jays

1821
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero Junior and mets Pete Alonzo duked it out

1822
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:43,760
Speaker 1: in the final round. Alonzo ultimately claimed the victory with

1823
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 1: twenty three homers, just one more than vlad Junior had

1824
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:50,080
Speaker 1: in the final round. The Home Run Derby saw three

1825
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:53,839
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve homers, the most ever, destroying the previous

1826
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:56,600
Speaker 1: record of two hundred and twenty run two hundred and

1827
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 1: twenty one home runs that was set last year. Guerrero

1828
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 1: hit ninety one of those three hundred and twelve home

1829
01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:05,920
Speaker 1: runs in his first home Run Derby, breaking the single

1830
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: derby home run record and as the youngest participant in

1831
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:15,400
Speaker 1: the contest's history. Rad Guerrero Junior getting it done at

1832
01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 1: the All Star Game but not taking home the trophy.

1833
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:20,720
Speaker 1: But not taking home the trophy, they got to change

1834
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:22,120
Speaker 1: the rules for that. I gotta come up with some

1835
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 1: kind of points system where if you have the most

1836
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: home runs on aggregate, which he clearly did far and

1837
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 1: away it wasn't even close, primarily because he had a

1838
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 1: couple of swingoffs with Jack Peterson from the Dodgers, so

1839
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 1: they were going back and forth round after round, and

1840
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,680
Speaker 1: so he had more opportunities and more swings. But you

1841
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 1: get me, pretty dog one tired after you've hit you know,

1842
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:50,639
Speaker 1: seventy home runs in the span of half an hour,

1843
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, So I don't know.

1844
01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:55,479
Speaker 1: I don't know how they got to come up with

1845
01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:57,960
Speaker 1: a different way to give credit to the guy that

1846
01:34:58,320 --> 01:35:00,639
Speaker 1: took that many swings and hit that many home runs

1847
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 1: um to kind of level things, know when that guy

1848
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:07,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be gassed, right, I don't know. It's it's

1849
01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 1: it's interesting. It's an interesting concept just going up there

1850
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:13,799
Speaker 1: and hitting dingers. You know, it's batting practice, basic ds.

1851
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:16,519
Speaker 1: That's what we do here. I don't know what. We

1852
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 1: don't have a bunting derby, No, we don't, which we

1853
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:21,639
Speaker 1: got into in the first Korean first sent the Korean

1854
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 1: Baseball they have a bunting derby instead of a home

1855
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 1: run derby. I got it, Okay, So so my guy

1856
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, who has reached the upper echelon of the

1857
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:32,000
Speaker 1: media center here at one Bills and drive, hasn't it. Hey,

1858
01:35:32,040 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 1: you have an intern working for you. That's why. Oh okay,

1859
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:37,720
Speaker 1: I was wondering where you're one of the guys coming

1860
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 1: from an underling. Uh, there's I have no underlings. By

1861
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 1: the way, I'm yea by a solo artist. I'm maybe

1862
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:47,240
Speaker 1: Murph's I am Murph's underling. I don't know. Um Nate Mendelssohn,

1863
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:51,479
Speaker 1: who who is? Who is? Said a contributing correspondent. He

1864
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 1: wrote an article that's really interesting, and we've talked a

1865
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:55,920
Speaker 1: lot about the moving parts and the new pieces to

1866
01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills offense. They're gonna be fun to watch,

1867
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: fun to get to know. Uh you know, kind of

1868
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,559
Speaker 1: have you had the big question marks and the angst

1869
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 1: that fans have about the team doing well. I'll kind

1870
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:06,560
Speaker 1: of center around that side of the ball because the

1871
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 1: defense has been so established over the last year and

1872
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:12,800
Speaker 1: a half, two years, two seasons. So you're Nate Mendelssohn

1873
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 1: wrote this article about five defensive playmakers that we can

1874
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 1: keep an eye on in this training camp, in this preseason,

1875
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 1: who may you know emerge the forefront as being kind

1876
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:25,519
Speaker 1: of forced to be reckoned with or contribute to the

1877
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 1: force that is the defense and has been a top

1878
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:29,759
Speaker 1: five defense over the past season. Yeah, and the idea

1879
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 1: of this was to try to steer pass the obvious

1880
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 1: choices and maybe shed a little bit more light on

1881
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,519
Speaker 1: some guys who could be taking an even larger step

1882
01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 1: forward as playmakers in this defense. I think a lot

1883
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:43,479
Speaker 1: of people look at Trey White and say, Okay, that's

1884
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:47,200
Speaker 1: a given. Micah Hyde, Okay, that's a given. But beyond

1885
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:51,040
Speaker 1: those obvious guys, you know, who are some other guys

1886
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:54,599
Speaker 1: with that kind of playmaking ability that maybe Bill's fans

1887
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:57,720
Speaker 1: should pay attention to at camp. Now think about this though, too.

1888
01:36:57,800 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 1: And you're right, I mean, one of the first name

1889
01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:01,880
Speaker 1: on the list, And I guess we'll just kind of

1890
01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:04,600
Speaker 1: go ahead and dive right into as Jordan Poyer. And

1891
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,120
Speaker 1: it's interesting for me because you know, Murph and I

1892
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:09,120
Speaker 1: and you and me and whoever we have on here.

1893
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 1: We start talking about the defense, you talk about how

1894
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 1: good the secondary has been with Poorier and Hide in

1895
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 1: the back end and Tradavious White at the corner, and

1896
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,439
Speaker 1: then last year when they found guys like Taryn Johnson

1897
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,639
Speaker 1: and Levi Wallace, guys who kind of emerging the names

1898
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:23,760
Speaker 1: are kind of off there, so there's nobody kind of

1899
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 1: flying under the radar on that side of the ball

1900
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:28,400
Speaker 1: because they've been so productive, and that's you start looking

1901
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:30,840
Speaker 1: for guys like that. It's it's hard to name somebody

1902
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:33,880
Speaker 1: who's for me under the radar because I know those

1903
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 1: guys so well and there's so much stability on that side.

1904
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:39,639
Speaker 1: And for me, even though you know, I watch every game,

1905
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, doing analysis and writing stories and all of this,

1906
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 1: it still surprised me to know and to see that

1907
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:52,639
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer had one hundred tackles for this team last year.

1908
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, and I know the way the Bills utilize

1909
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,080
Speaker 1: their safeties, there are opportunities to make that many plays,

1910
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 1: But hundred tackles for a safety in an era where

1911
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:05,760
Speaker 1: the box safety really isn't what the box safety used

1912
01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:08,840
Speaker 1: to be, you know, they really aren't that anymore, right,

1913
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:12,280
Speaker 1: You don't have Blaine Bishops running around making one hundred

1914
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 1: and ten tackles a year like he did for the Titans. Well,

1915
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:18,360
Speaker 1: on one role that the safeties played in the defense

1916
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 1: is and here's the way it was. And I remember

1917
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 1: even back in the days, you know, in the last

1918
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:27,719
Speaker 1: century when I played there are different philosophies going around defense.

1919
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 1: I remember Walt Corey told me he goes I would

1920
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,679
Speaker 1: like to have four corners out there, and his thought

1921
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:34,680
Speaker 1: behind it was, you need to have guys who can

1922
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 1: do everything, so if you want to, it's easier to

1923
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:40,599
Speaker 1: disguise your coverages when you've got four guys back here

1924
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 1: who can lock up on man demand all over the field.

1925
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:45,839
Speaker 1: And what it is now in the in the NFL,

1926
01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:48,600
Speaker 1: you've got your safeties and what you need them to

1927
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 1: do is to be at least interchangeable, where your your

1928
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:55,880
Speaker 1: box safety can back out and play center field and

1929
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:58,320
Speaker 1: vice versa. Your your center fielder can come down to

1930
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:00,439
Speaker 1: the box and make tackles like Jordan you're did he

1931
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 1: one hundred tackles? So, and what they really do is

1932
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:09,040
Speaker 1: teeter totter back there and disguise things so the quarterback

1933
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:11,799
Speaker 1: doesn't know what he's looking for. And for Jordan Poyer

1934
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 1: that last year meant a lot of times he was

1935
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:16,560
Speaker 1: in the box making tackles. And even Josh Allen this

1936
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 1: spring and his quote is actually utilized in the article

1937
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:24,840
Speaker 1: here that we put together. He called Hide and Poyer

1938
01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:27,840
Speaker 1: the best safety tandem in the league. Now you could

1939
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:31,080
Speaker 1: probably find a better individual safety, maybe two or three

1940
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 1: or four in this league who have who are elite

1941
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: and maybe even better than maybe Jordan Poyer is on

1942
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 1: his own, or even Micah Hyde is on his own.

1943
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 1: But as a tandem those two guys, there aren't too

1944
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:48,160
Speaker 1: many other pairings on the back end that are as

1945
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 1: effective as a duo as these two guys are. I mean,

1946
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:57,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers commented on those two guys after the game

1947
01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:01,680
Speaker 1: last year, even though they even though the Packers won

1948
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: that game in a shutout, because the offense could do

1949
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 1: nothing and we're actually our MSG viewers are actually watching

1950
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:12,800
Speaker 1: Poyer's interception in that game. Rogers I read his transcript

1951
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:14,920
Speaker 1: after that game to see what he thought of the

1952
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 1: Bill's defense, and he said, our offense was awful. Today,

1953
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:20,519
Speaker 1: he goes, we may have won twenty two to nothing,

1954
01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:24,920
Speaker 1: but we were god awful. And the only reason he

1955
01:40:25,080 --> 01:40:28,080
Speaker 1: felt that they won the game was because Buffalo's offense

1956
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 1: was worse, and he had he was thrown bouquets to

1957
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 1: the Bills secondary because he said they disguised things so well.

1958
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:43,000
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick two seasons ago or last twenty seventeen, after

1959
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:46,760
Speaker 1: seeing Payer and Hide work together just the first time

1960
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:50,479
Speaker 1: in advance of the second meeting between the Patriots and Bills, said,

1961
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 1: what those two guys do cannot be properly game planned

1962
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:01,479
Speaker 1: for because and we're talking about one of the best

1963
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 1: game planners this game has ever known. He said. The

1964
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: reason why is because these guys technically, when they line

1965
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 1: up pre snap, at the snap are out of position

1966
01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:16,680
Speaker 1: in terms of where they should be based on the

1967
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:21,719
Speaker 1: play call on purpose to screw up the quarterbacks read,

1968
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 1: and somehow they are still able to get in position

1969
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:29,479
Speaker 1: when the balls being delivered to thwar a play, you know,

1970
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:33,719
Speaker 1: mess up a plays timing, make a play on the ball.

1971
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 1: And it's rooted in what you just talked about. Wal Corey,

1972
01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer used to be cornerbacks and

1973
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:44,879
Speaker 1: that's the real crux of the issue, is how versatile

1974
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:47,040
Speaker 1: they are and how comfortable they are and how well

1975
01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 1: they communicate together. I think it's amazing too that they

1976
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 1: came in together as free agents. Remembered, you know, Sean

1977
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:56,640
Speaker 1: McDermott brought them both in as free agents in that

1978
01:41:56,760 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: first offseason when he got here, and I think it's

1979
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:04,400
Speaker 1: a testament to how well they came together. So quickly

1980
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:07,240
Speaker 1: to be able to work together so well and communicate

1981
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 1: so well, and to trust each other so much to

1982
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 1: make that happen. And you know, Bill Belichick, it's amazing

1983
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:18,960
Speaker 1: too that they game plan for the Buffalo Bills defense

1984
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:21,720
Speaker 1: on the fly during the game. You know, they get

1985
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:24,320
Speaker 1: their eye they've got you know, they've got however many

1986
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:26,680
Speaker 1: dozen eyes you've got, particularly at a home game, you've

1987
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 1: probably got more than you doing road games. But they've

1988
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 1: got guys watching positions and watching the players on the

1989
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:34,400
Speaker 1: field during the game, getting a feel for what they're

1990
01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 1: doing against your team as the game is going on,

1991
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:40,880
Speaker 1: and then they dissect it and talk about it and

1992
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:42,960
Speaker 1: then try and formulate a game plan on the fly

1993
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:46,200
Speaker 1: as they go forward. That's how fast this thing moves

1994
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 1: at high levels. And that's what Bill Belichick was alluding

1995
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:53,880
Speaker 1: to when he's talking about you know, you can't effectively

1996
01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 1: game plan for him before before the game because hey,

1997
01:42:58,120 --> 01:42:59,720
Speaker 1: you don't know what they're gonna game plan against you

1998
01:42:59,840 --> 01:43:02,680
Speaker 1: that day, which is commonplace around the league. But be

1999
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:06,680
Speaker 1: you gotta watch after the snap and then figure out

2000
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:09,320
Speaker 1: what coverage they were supposed to be playing when they

2001
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:11,800
Speaker 1: were completely out of position at the snap and then

2002
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:16,519
Speaker 1: extrapolate from what they were supposed to be playing as

2003
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:18,640
Speaker 1: to what they saw your offense was gonna do, and

2004
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: then what you're gonna do against it, and are they

2005
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 1: gonna are they going to line up out of position

2006
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:26,559
Speaker 1: the same way the next time or in a different way.

2007
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 1: That's right. At least you get an idea of where

2008
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:32,439
Speaker 1: they were, you know, the defense they wanted to call

2009
01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 1: against your offense in that situation, and you can kind

2010
01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:38,560
Speaker 1: of work from there. But then you got to you

2011
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 1: gotta have a guy like Brady who when they're lined

2012
01:43:41,560 --> 01:43:44,680
Speaker 1: up in a different spot and rotating to that other

2013
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:47,280
Speaker 1: defense that they were in that other play. You know,

2014
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean you get you know, we're sitting you can

2015
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 1: sit here and here it's a whirlpool. Yeah, you know,

2016
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,160
Speaker 1: you're caught in quicksand trying to figure that out on

2017
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:56,920
Speaker 1: the fly and then getting ahead of it to the

2018
01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:58,680
Speaker 1: next play where you're gonna try and call a play

2019
01:43:58,720 --> 01:44:01,520
Speaker 1: against it. It's you know, that's the level of difficulty

2020
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 1: you're talking about and what safety can do to an

2021
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 1: offense that they play against. And I so when you're

2022
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:10,280
Speaker 1: talking about a guy, a defensive playmaker who's making some

2023
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:13,599
Speaker 1: things happening. Poor your these safeties should get an idea

2024
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 1: of what and how important they are when a quarterback

2025
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: drops back to pass, what he's looking at and how

2026
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:22,760
Speaker 1: these guys affect him. Now, the next guy we put

2027
01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:29,040
Speaker 1: on the list is unknown as a playmaker at the

2028
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:33,320
Speaker 1: NFL level, but I think the expectations are still there

2029
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 1: for this guy to make a ton of plays, particularly

2030
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:40,639
Speaker 1: in the offensive backfield, right and at Oliver at Oliver,

2031
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: and I think it comes down to this for me, Brownie,

2032
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:49,000
Speaker 1: it's all about his ability to penetrate when the ball

2033
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 1: is snapped. How quickly is he going to be standing

2034
01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:54,360
Speaker 1: in the backfield by himself without an offensive lineman on him,

2035
01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:56,760
Speaker 1: because he can do that kind of stuff. It's that

2036
01:44:56,920 --> 01:45:01,680
Speaker 1: kind of gap awareness and and ability to explode is

2037
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:03,560
Speaker 1: going to explode plays right in the back that we

2038
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 1: saw Kyle Williams do it in his career, and that's

2039
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 1: what Ed Oliver. Supposedly he's going to be able to

2040
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,040
Speaker 1: do it at pro. But it's a big question mark, right.

2041
01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:13,599
Speaker 1: I just think the fit is so good in terms

2042
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 1: of where he's lining up as opposed to, you know,

2043
01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 1: being a two gap nose tackle at Houston. To come

2044
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: in here and lining up on the outside shoulder of

2045
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 1: the guard. And yeah, he's probably gonna still face his

2046
01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:28,680
Speaker 1: share of double teams. But you can't just leave Star

2047
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:31,360
Speaker 1: alone with one guy, right, you know what I'm saying.

2048
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 1: You can't go one on one with everybody across this front.

2049
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 1: So if you want to give Ed Oliver that attention,

2050
01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:42,240
Speaker 1: that's fine. But in the end, you got five linemen

2051
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:47,040
Speaker 1: and a back and a tight end on double team everybody, right, Like,

2052
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 1: who's running a pattern? The problem is? And here's and

2053
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,679
Speaker 1: here's a nod to Ed and why he was at times.

2054
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, twelve months or thirteen months before

2055
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 1: this last draft, when he fell to the Bills at

2056
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:03,160
Speaker 1: number nine, was it. Yeah, they thought he might go

2057
01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 1: in the top five picks. He was because he's so gifted.

2058
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:10,639
Speaker 1: He was playing out of position completely different. You can say,

2059
01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:12,960
Speaker 1: while he's down interior alignment with Listen, he was playing

2060
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: on the nose in college because physically he could do that.

2061
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:22,599
Speaker 1: Because he was so much better than the guys around

2062
01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:24,760
Speaker 1: him on that roster. They needed a guy in there

2063
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 1: and he could do that. They needed him on the

2064
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 1: field and he could play completely out of position, playing

2065
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 1: techniques that he's not really physically gifted for. But because

2066
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:38,519
Speaker 1: he was, he was so athletic, he could do some things.

2067
01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:41,719
Speaker 1: That's why he wasn't in the top five of this draft.

2068
01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:43,920
Speaker 1: He was playing completely out of position, being asked to

2069
01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:45,880
Speaker 1: play a position that you know, he just wasn't really

2070
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 1: gifted for. And that's why the guy has you know,

2071
01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:52,519
Speaker 1: had such high expectations, and that's why there's a lot

2072
01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:54,400
Speaker 1: of people thinking, well, you know, he may be really

2073
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 1: good because you haven't seen him do that very much.

2074
01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:05,559
Speaker 1: Thirty two college games at nose tackle at two hundred

2075
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:08,880
Speaker 1: and eighty pounds, which you should play you should weigh

2076
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:14,120
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty pounds. Thirty two games, Yeah, fifty

2077
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 1: three tackles for loss in thirty two games at nose

2078
01:47:18,080 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 1: tackle at two hundred eighty pounds. Right, So just so

2079
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 1: just try to try to extrapolate that and say, now

2080
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:28,599
Speaker 1: he's playing three technique, granted against much better talent. Probably

2081
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 1: we'll see a share of double teams, but I think

2082
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 1: it's it's relatively safe to say he's gonna make some

2083
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,799
Speaker 1: kind of an impact in the tackle for lost column

2084
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 1: because he's just so low to the ground and so quick.

2085
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:45,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't get hands on him at the snap,

2086
01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 1: it might be over right. So there's Jordan Porters, two

2087
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:52,680
Speaker 1: of them at Oliver first two guys on the list

2088
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:55,120
Speaker 1: of five defensive play members to look for Bill's training camp.

2089
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:57,439
Speaker 1: The third one is a guy, of course, a playmaker

2090
01:47:57,520 --> 01:47:59,439
Speaker 1: that this should be at the top of this list

2091
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:05,560
Speaker 1: for playmakers around the league, and that's Jerry Hughes. Analytics

2092
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:07,960
Speaker 1: people will tell you Jerry's an elite pass rusher. Now,

2093
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:09,639
Speaker 1: certainly he didn't have that kind of year last year.

2094
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 1: It was a defense that didn't get into some third

2095
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 1: and lungs and passing downs all that often. But Jerry

2096
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:18,680
Speaker 1: Hughes was accepted as a really elite pass rusher. And

2097
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:21,960
Speaker 1: I think last year when he had seven sacks, it

2098
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: was somewhat of an adjustment year for him with the

2099
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:28,760
Speaker 1: new quarterback rules because he I even had a long

2100
01:48:28,840 --> 01:48:32,720
Speaker 1: conversation with him about this, and he said, we got

2101
01:48:32,760 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 1: to the point where coach tier Link, their defensive line coach,

2102
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:41,160
Speaker 1: and us as a group decided we're gonna worry less

2103
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:44,240
Speaker 1: about the sack and getting the quarterback to the ground

2104
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:48,560
Speaker 1: and more about just getting the ball out. And so

2105
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 1: if you look at what Jerry did a lot last year.

2106
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:55,680
Speaker 1: There were a lot more swipes at the ball when

2107
01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:59,200
Speaker 1: he got in on the quarterback. Then he did about

2108
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 1: bringing the quarter back to the ground because he was

2109
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:07,120
Speaker 1: genuinely concerned about driving body weight into the quarterback as

2110
01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:09,400
Speaker 1: he took him to the ground. You know, they're trying

2111
01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 1: to practice rolling as they're bringing a quarterback to the

2112
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 1: ground so they don't get flagged for driving him into

2113
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 1: the ground. You can't hit him below the knee, you

2114
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: can't touch him on the head, so that the defensive

2115
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:22,560
Speaker 1: line coaches, you know, Coach Tiling, Coach white Cotton, and

2116
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 1: these defensive linemen just will screw it. We're just gonna

2117
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:26,560
Speaker 1: go for the ball every time and just try to

2118
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:28,680
Speaker 1: get the ball out and go from there. Unless the

2119
01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:31,880
Speaker 1: quarterback completely wraps it up with both arms, you know,

2120
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:34,000
Speaker 1: he's not gonna throw it and it's gonna be hard

2121
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:36,679
Speaker 1: to punch it out. Now, take him to the ground, fine,

2122
01:49:37,240 --> 01:49:41,000
Speaker 1: but all other circumstances, just try to get the ball out. Now.

2123
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:44,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if the tact and the approaches is slightly

2124
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 1: different now that they have a feel for what those

2125
01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:51,280
Speaker 1: new rules are. But I think the thing that favors

2126
01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:54,640
Speaker 1: Jerry the most going into this season is you have

2127
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 1: a one healthy Trent Murphy coming off the other side,

2128
01:49:57,960 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 1: and you've got the aforementioned at Oliver hopefully collapsing the pocket,

2129
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:05,560
Speaker 1: so there's nowhere for a quarterback to step up to

2130
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:08,879
Speaker 1: avoid an edge rusher like Jerry. Well, here's another aspect

2131
01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 1: of that, going for the strip rather than the second.

2132
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that if you're playing

2133
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:17,320
Speaker 1: a total team game, which I think this group offense

2134
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:19,600
Speaker 1: and defense tried to do more than anybody else. They

2135
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 1: played complimentary football. This is an offense that was struggling

2136
01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:25,439
Speaker 1: mightily last year. And I think this is a defense

2137
01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:28,599
Speaker 1: that knew they needed more turnovers rather than just third

2138
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:30,240
Speaker 1: and all. Yeah, that was probably part of it. They

2139
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:32,720
Speaker 1: needed some turnovers. They needed to give their offense as

2140
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:34,880
Speaker 1: many possessions as they could. It was an offense that

2141
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,200
Speaker 1: struggled to get going. It's an offense that led the

2142
01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:40,120
Speaker 1: league in three and outs. They needed as many possessions

2143
01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:42,439
Speaker 1: as the defense could possibly give them. And I think

2144
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, and the and the MSG people are watching

2145
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:47,479
Speaker 1: some highlights here about the Minnesota game where Jerry had

2146
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:51,479
Speaker 1: to strip of Kirk Cousins and they were trying to

2147
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:54,599
Speaker 1: swipe at it. They knocked the ball loose in Houston

2148
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:58,519
Speaker 1: and really had the game lands the year. Yeah, they

2149
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:00,599
Speaker 1: had the ball, they had the game a self laying

2150
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:02,679
Speaker 1: on the ground and couldn't come up with that loose

2151
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 1: ball and win that game. That would have won that

2152
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 1: game had that ball stayed on the ground and the

2153
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:09,800
Speaker 1: Bills come up with it, but they couldn't get it done.

2154
01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 1: Ended up losing that game on a field goal. So

2155
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:14,439
Speaker 1: you know that. I think that was part of the

2156
01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:17,160
Speaker 1: philosophy for Jerry Hughes of not getting sacks but trying to,

2157
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, sacrifice the tackle and try and go for

2158
01:51:20,479 --> 01:51:22,960
Speaker 1: the big play and get the sack strip because their

2159
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,880
Speaker 1: offense needed as many possessions as they could possibly get.

2160
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:28,720
Speaker 1: That that could have been I'm not saying it was,

2161
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 1: but I think that's one of the consideration Where're sitting

2162
01:51:30,880 --> 01:51:32,559
Speaker 1: around watching films and listen, guys, we got to get

2163
01:51:32,600 --> 01:51:34,439
Speaker 1: the ball back to these guys as much as we can.

2164
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:36,680
Speaker 1: So maybe that was it. So you got poorer, you

2165
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:38,600
Speaker 1: got at Oliver Jerry Hughes. I think the third one

2166
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:41,439
Speaker 1: is one of the may surprise some people. Taran Johnson, Yeah,

2167
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 1: I think he had he had what was a very

2168
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:46,519
Speaker 1: encouraging rookie season. I mean, he showed he could make

2169
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:49,880
Speaker 1: an impact at the nickel corner position as a rookie.

2170
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:53,240
Speaker 1: This is a guy that played more outside than inside,

2171
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:56,759
Speaker 1: so to adapt to that role in this scheme, Steve,

2172
01:51:57,360 --> 01:52:00,840
Speaker 1: where they ask a ton of of the slot guy,

2173
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 1: put pressure, run support. Yeah, in blitz packages. There's a

2174
01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:09,600
Speaker 1: lot on the plate for the nickel corner in this

2175
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:14,080
Speaker 1: defensive scheme. And I think just I think Tarn came

2176
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 1: through with flying colors every step of the way last season,

2177
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,560
Speaker 1: and did it with a bad wing. I mean, this

2178
01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 1: is a guy that played with a torn laborman his

2179
01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:25,800
Speaker 1: shoulder from Week two on until it just became so

2180
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:27,560
Speaker 1: bad that they had to shut him down for the

2181
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:29,800
Speaker 1: last four games of the year. Last I think he

2182
01:52:29,960 --> 01:52:32,280
Speaker 1: surprised a lot of people and certainly even if he

2183
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't show up on the stat sheet and a lot

2184
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 1: of games, I think this is a coaching staff and

2185
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:40,200
Speaker 1: a team that really gained a lot of confidence in him.

2186
01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:42,840
Speaker 1: And he was a gamer, right, and that's what he

2187
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:45,960
Speaker 1: proved last year. Right. He came on and played extremely

2188
01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:47,880
Speaker 1: well when the chips were down and it was and

2189
01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:50,560
Speaker 1: it was I think he was an eye opener, and

2190
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:52,479
Speaker 1: I think that there's no question they're looking for big

2191
01:52:52,560 --> 01:52:54,080
Speaker 1: things and maybe a step forward for it. Because the

2192
01:52:54,120 --> 01:52:56,840
Speaker 1: team came to him after he had the torn laborm

2193
01:52:56,880 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 1: in Week one against the Ravens. They said, you know,

2194
01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:00,960
Speaker 1: do you want surgery? Do you want to shut it down?

2195
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 1: He said, give me the harness. I want to play. Yeah.

2196
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:06,839
Speaker 1: He wanted to play and played well sticking his shoulder

2197
01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:10,120
Speaker 1: in there. There were several times last season where he

2198
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 1: would dive in there and run support, make a tackle

2199
01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:15,920
Speaker 1: with that shoulder, and then he would have to come

2200
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:19,559
Speaker 1: off the field, get everything readjusted, miss a play or two,

2201
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:21,000
Speaker 1: and then come back. And he did that a half

2202
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:24,280
Speaker 1: a dozen times last year, right, And I thought he

2203
01:53:24,439 --> 01:53:26,240
Speaker 1: really gained a lot of respect in that locker room

2204
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:28,519
Speaker 1: for that rookie kid who came in played. We're gonna

2205
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:30,840
Speaker 1: pay her as a rookie. Got it out. I mean

2206
01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:35,000
Speaker 1: that kid earned his stripes as a rookie last year

2207
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:37,120
Speaker 1: at the slod corner. So and the last guy was

2208
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:41,280
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmunds is an obvious choice. I think, don't forget

2209
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:42,640
Speaker 1: this a guy and they think, wow, he's got a

2210
01:53:42,680 --> 01:53:44,519
Speaker 1: lot to learn. He said, listen the second half of

2211
01:53:44,560 --> 01:53:47,519
Speaker 1: the last year season for Tremaine Edmunds, so you could

2212
01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:50,720
Speaker 1: see hips and bounce. He was Defensive Rookie of the

2213
01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 1: Year for the month of December last year. It wasn't

2214
01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:57,200
Speaker 1: just the Buffalo Bills saying he had trumpeting him as

2215
01:53:57,240 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 1: a as a guy. People around the league noticed a

2216
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 1: change in his game in the second half of last season,

2217
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:06,600
Speaker 1: all the way through the month of December. So I

2218
01:54:07,200 --> 01:54:09,840
Speaker 1: think that's an obvious choice. But man, it's one that

2219
01:54:09,960 --> 01:54:15,839
Speaker 1: really holds water. Yeah, And I think just by virtue

2220
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:19,760
Speaker 1: of the fact that he has a firm grasp of

2221
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:23,640
Speaker 1: this defense now and where everybody needs to line up

2222
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:27,639
Speaker 1: and the checks that need to be made, it's going

2223
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:33,120
Speaker 1: to allow his athletic ability to peak in games. And

2224
01:54:33,280 --> 01:54:38,080
Speaker 1: if he can peak athletically in this scheme, right, I mean,

2225
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:40,960
Speaker 1: I feel bad for opposing quarterbacks that think they're going

2226
01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:43,320
Speaker 1: to drop it over him and underneath the safety for

2227
01:54:43,400 --> 01:54:46,040
Speaker 1: a deep middle strike. He's gonna be picking it off

2228
01:54:46,080 --> 01:54:48,440
Speaker 1: and taking it the other way. This guy is a condor. Yes,

2229
01:54:48,600 --> 01:54:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that our listeners don't get a

2230
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,160
Speaker 1: chance to like hang around the building and we cross

2231
01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 1: paths with Tremaine once in a while, and we say,

2232
01:54:56,320 --> 01:54:59,960
Speaker 1: and he's he's a great guy. Friendly, he is free.

2233
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:03,680
Speaker 1: He is so long and so lean and so and

2234
01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:06,080
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's broad. He still hasn't even filled out.

2235
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 1: He's he just turned twenty one. Yeah, and he is

2236
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:14,280
Speaker 1: just an amazing, amazing physical specimen. Um. He's not one

2237
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 1: of those big, heavy, thick guys. He looks like an

2238
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:20,680
Speaker 1: NBA power forward. He's not quite that big, but that

2239
01:55:20,840 --> 01:55:24,360
Speaker 1: tall anyway, but he seems that long though. Yeah. I

2240
01:55:24,440 --> 01:55:26,840
Speaker 1: mean he's wingspans like seven foot plus. And he can

2241
01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:29,160
Speaker 1: just he can shake your hand from the back of

2242
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:32,080
Speaker 1: the plane. I mean he is that. He's a big dude.

2243
01:55:32,720 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 1: And he's incredibly fast. He's got great top end speed. Um,

2244
01:55:40,160 --> 01:55:42,880
Speaker 1: he works extremely hard. But you know that throw, I'm

2245
01:55:42,920 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 1: talking about that deep mental throw where a quarterback tries

2246
01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:48,720
Speaker 1: to drop it over the linebacker and underneath the safety.

2247
01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:52,400
Speaker 1: That window gets really small. Brady tried to throw it

2248
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:56,040
Speaker 1: last year and Edmonds tipped. He didn't quite have enough

2249
01:55:56,080 --> 01:55:57,680
Speaker 1: of a grip on it to pick it off, but

2250
01:55:57,760 --> 01:56:01,240
Speaker 1: he tipped it. And it reminded me of AJ McCarron

2251
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:06,200
Speaker 1: and training camp. Walking off the practice field with Peterman

2252
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:08,560
Speaker 1: and he's talking to him and he's like, man, you

2253
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 1: can't make that throw. If Edmonds is out there, he's

2254
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:14,520
Speaker 1: too long. Yeah, that throw is off the table. If

2255
01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:18,280
Speaker 1: he's there at middle linebacker, you know, dropping into that zone,

2256
01:56:19,640 --> 01:56:22,680
Speaker 1: you can't make that throw because he's too dangerous. It's

2257
01:56:22,720 --> 01:56:25,160
Speaker 1: too high risk because he could pick it off and

2258
01:56:25,200 --> 01:56:27,480
Speaker 1: becoming the other way because when he puts his hand

2259
01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:29,960
Speaker 1: in the air and jumps, he's at about ten feet

2260
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean he's at the basketball rim. That's right. So

2261
01:56:33,760 --> 01:56:36,600
Speaker 1: there you go. Those are the five defensive playmakers. You

2267
01:56:51,560 --> 01:56:53,080
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the hour. We'll take a call

2268
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:54,640
Speaker 1: when we get back at the bottom of the hour.

2269
01:56:54,680 --> 01:56:56,280
Speaker 1: We also have what do we learned coming up and

2270

Speaker 1: also NFL True Falso stay with us One Bills Live

2271
01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:01,800
Speaker 1: from One Bills Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

2272
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back, to One Bill's Live Steve Task along with

2273
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:15,720
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, we've been talking about which team has the

2274
01:57:15,760 --> 01:57:19,280
Speaker 1: best chance to be a powder keg in two nineteen.

2275
01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 1: We've been going back and forth, and most people think

2276
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:23,720
Speaker 1: of the forty five percent of you think it's at

2277
01:57:23,760 --> 01:57:26,200
Speaker 1: the Browns, twenty eight percent say the Raiders, fifteen percent

2278
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 1: say the Jets, twelve percent have somebody else in mind.

2279
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:31,360
Speaker 1: And our collar on the line us Bob from Cheek

2280
01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 1: to Walga a different team as he got a different

2281
01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:35,760
Speaker 1: team one of the others in mind. Bob, you think

2282
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,960
Speaker 1: that the Ravens are going to be a powder keg

2283
01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 1: this season? Tell us why I do, because I think

2284
01:57:42,240 --> 01:57:45,600
Speaker 1: Sucks has gone a big leader there and they've lost

2285
01:57:45,680 --> 01:57:48,320
Speaker 1: a couple more the defensive players, if I'm correct. It's

2286
01:57:48,320 --> 01:57:51,320
Speaker 1: almost like they're trying to rebuild their defense. And I

2287
01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 1: don't know if Jackson's the guy now that Flanko has

2288
01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:58,000
Speaker 1: gone to just do it all on his own, you

2289
01:57:58,080 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And I think he's gonna have

2290
01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:04,920
Speaker 1: a struggle year. I just don't see the Ravens really Cincinnati,

2291
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 1: who's not that talented either, it's gonna beat them out. Yeah,

2292
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:12,040
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Because Ravens they've made and thanks for the call,

2293
01:58:12,120 --> 01:58:14,400
Speaker 1: but I appreciate it. It's it's an interesting tape because

2294
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be a powder Keger.

2295
01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:18,920
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna work. They're gonna try and do

2296
01:58:19,120 --> 01:58:22,200
Speaker 1: something a little different than anybody has tried to do

2297
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:24,960
Speaker 1: in a long time, and that's run the football predominantly

2298
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:26,480
Speaker 1: in a league that wants to throw it a lot.

2299
01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:29,280
Speaker 1: They've got a quarterback that they're gonna do it, Deshaun

2300
01:58:29,320 --> 01:58:31,000
Speaker 1: Watson is going to take a shot at it. He

2301
01:58:31,640 --> 01:58:36,200
Speaker 1: started Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson, man, I cannot remember Lamar

2302
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:41,480
Speaker 1: Jackson's name to save my life. Lamar Jackson started the

2303
01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:45,000
Speaker 1: bulk of the game's last year. And they got some

2304
01:58:45,120 --> 01:58:48,200
Speaker 1: things done. I mean they but that's why John Brown

2305
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:50,000
Speaker 1: is not there. He's not big enough to be a

2306
01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:53,600
Speaker 1: blocking wide receiver even that kind of thing. And they

2307
01:58:53,680 --> 01:58:55,960
Speaker 1: have made some changes Sugs. It was a big change.

2308
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:59,240
Speaker 1: Ossie Knewsom is no longer the general manager. I think

2309
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:01,200
Speaker 1: they're in a little bit of a transition year going

2310
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:03,839
Speaker 1: trying to move into this philosophy. We'll see it depends.

2311
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll be a powder Cheg. I

2312
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:08,840
Speaker 1: think they'll be heavy criticism, you know, if it doesn't work,

2313
01:59:09,520 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 1: they'll certainly get their share of criticism if it doesn't work,

2314
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:15,800
Speaker 1: from the fan base, from the media. But the Ravens,

2315
01:59:15,920 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, they're one of those stable organizations. Even with

2316
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:21,800
Speaker 1: the change at the top, and Azzie Newsom his successor,

2317
01:59:21,920 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 1: had long been in line, you know, to succeed him,

2318
01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:28,600
Speaker 1: and his name's escaping me. Eric da Costa, I think

2319
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:31,240
Speaker 1: is his name has been in the front office with

2320
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:34,880
Speaker 1: the Ravens for years and turn and turned down other

2321
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 1: GM jobs in the league, knowing he was going to

2322
01:59:37,880 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 1: be the heir apparent to Ozzi when Ozzie was done.

2323
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:43,240
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of the same principles on

2324
01:59:43,400 --> 01:59:47,920
Speaker 1: how to build the team remain, But the quarterback position

2325
01:59:48,120 --> 01:59:52,320
Speaker 1: has been a seismic shift in philosophy in comparison to

2326
01:59:52,440 --> 01:59:56,160
Speaker 1: previous regimes and teams that they've put together over the years. Now,

2327
01:59:56,240 --> 01:59:58,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson can't throw the football a little better than

2328
01:59:58,400 --> 01:59:59,960
Speaker 1: he gets credit for. I've seen him. He's got a

2329
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:02,640
Speaker 1: good arm right, he throws vacuately enough. But he's a

2330
02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:04,680
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. I mean he's gonna he's got some things

2331
02:00:04,720 --> 02:00:06,520
Speaker 1: he's got to learn. No question, if he takes a

2332
02:00:06,560 --> 02:00:10,680
Speaker 1: step forward, it'll help everything exponentially. But there's no question

2333
02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:13,160
Speaker 1: that if they thought he was going to be able

2334
02:00:13,240 --> 02:00:16,440
Speaker 1: to do that, they would not be making this philosophical change. Yeah.

2335
02:00:17,040 --> 02:00:19,160
Speaker 1: So I think that kind of tips their hand as

2336
02:00:19,160 --> 02:00:21,760
Speaker 1: to what they think he's capable of. I still think

2337
02:00:21,800 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: he's going to run a great deal though, right, Yeah,

2338
02:00:24,120 --> 02:00:27,840
Speaker 1: which is I don't know? All right? True false Brought

2339
02:00:27,880 --> 02:00:30,840
Speaker 1: to you by Yancy's Fancy New York's Artisan Cheese. NFL

2340
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 1: True false Number one. The today's NFL would have been

2341
02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:39,520
Speaker 1: perfect for Doug Flutie. True or false. I think with

2342
02:00:39,640 --> 02:00:43,880
Speaker 1: the way it's going, yeah, um, you know, I think

2343
02:00:44,120 --> 02:00:46,600
Speaker 1: even back then, when Flutie returned to the league, you

2344
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:49,920
Speaker 1: know here in Buffalo in the late nineties, it was

2345
02:00:50,040 --> 02:00:53,040
Speaker 1: very clear that he needed throwing lanes to capably deliver

2346
02:00:53,120 --> 02:00:56,160
Speaker 1: the football on a consistent basis. I think with as

2347
02:00:56,240 --> 02:00:59,480
Speaker 1: spread out as the game is now, I think the

2348
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:02,200
Speaker 1: success that Flutie would have had would have led to

2349
02:01:02,320 --> 02:01:05,080
Speaker 1: more point production because if you remember, you know, the

2350
02:01:05,200 --> 02:01:07,520
Speaker 1: ninety eight and ninety nine teams that made the playoffs,

2351
02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:11,760
Speaker 1: they weren't lightening up on the scoreboard in ninety nine especially.

2352
02:01:11,840 --> 02:01:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean they were winning games thirteen ten with the

2353
02:01:14,440 --> 02:01:18,240
Speaker 1: number one defense in football, and you know we're watching

2354
02:01:18,360 --> 02:01:20,680
Speaker 1: highlights of the Jacksonville game. They won that game seventeen

2355
02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:25,360
Speaker 1: sixteen on the last second scramble by Flutie. So, yes,

2356
02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 1: he went to the Pro Bowl in ninety eight. Had

2357
02:01:27,120 --> 02:01:31,080
Speaker 1: success was effective enough, I would say, true, yes, this

2358
02:01:31,680 --> 02:01:35,040
Speaker 1: he would have been far more productive as a quarterback

2359
02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:38,000
Speaker 1: in today's NFL than he was then. I think his

2360
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:40,800
Speaker 1: stats would have been more CFL like where he won

2361
02:01:40,960 --> 02:01:43,480
Speaker 1: what three MVPs in a row. I'm not saying he

2362
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:46,600
Speaker 1: win the league MVP in the NFL, but I think

2363
02:01:46,640 --> 02:01:50,320
Speaker 1: his production would have been far better. You know, in

2364
02:01:50,480 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 1: today's climate, with as spread out as the game is now,

2365
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:56,800
Speaker 1: that caters to a guy of his athleticism and playmaking ability.

2366
02:01:56,920 --> 02:02:00,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't that the league. He couldn't have been. He

2367
02:02:00,240 --> 02:02:02,120
Speaker 1: wasn't successful at all in the league the way it

2368
02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:04,960
Speaker 1: was set up back then. But it is, Yeah, it is.

2369
02:02:05,040 --> 02:02:07,600
Speaker 1: I think you would add more right exactly, you're right,

2370
02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:10,040
Speaker 1: but he was not a bad quarterback. He was here

2371
02:02:10,080 --> 02:02:11,600
Speaker 1: the first time, so I think, yeah, I think that

2372
02:02:11,760 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 1: is true. The league is different and also it's more

2373
02:02:14,440 --> 02:02:16,400
Speaker 1: accepting of guys like him. Obviously, the first pick of

2374
02:02:16,440 --> 02:02:20,160
Speaker 1: the draft, Kyler Murray, is his size, which is unbelievable

2375
02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:22,680
Speaker 1: to think about in that day and age of maybe

2376
02:02:22,760 --> 02:02:25,640
Speaker 1: that happening. I don't think it ever would have because

2377
02:02:25,680 --> 02:02:29,640
Speaker 1: everybody had to be a standard in the pocket quarterback. Um.

2378
02:02:29,880 --> 02:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I think the way defensive defenses have evolved, in the

2379
02:02:32,760 --> 02:02:35,600
Speaker 1: way offenses have evolved, guys obviously can play at a

2380
02:02:35,880 --> 02:02:38,920
Speaker 1: smaller stature, and I think that does speak to his

2381
02:02:39,040 --> 02:02:41,920
Speaker 1: wheel he could do it. Is that a college photo

2382
02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:43,640
Speaker 1: that we have of him? I mean he looks I'm

2383
02:02:43,680 --> 02:02:46,800
Speaker 1: awfully young on the MSG screen there that I'm looking at. Yeah,

2384
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:52,080
Speaker 1: that's that's his boss. That's his boss, the New Jersey General. Yeah.

2385
02:02:52,120 --> 02:02:54,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he might have it right there. I think you're right,

2386
02:02:54,880 --> 02:02:57,360
Speaker 1: all right, So that's uh, we both say that's true

2387
02:02:57,480 --> 02:02:59,920
Speaker 1: that the league is more set up for Doug flu

2388
02:03:00,120 --> 02:03:05,160
Speaker 1: he is would be more students for success in today's NFL.

2389
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Now NFL true false. Number one or number two Newton

2390
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:12,920
Speaker 1: or number two NFL true false. Number two Cam Newton

2391
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:18,600
Speaker 1: and McCaffrey Christian McCaffrey are the best running back duo

2392
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:21,600
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, true or false. I am

2393
02:03:21,640 --> 02:03:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna unequivocally say false because Cam Newton doesn't run nearly

2394
02:03:26,120 --> 02:03:28,520
Speaker 1: as much as he used to. Number one, number two,

2395
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:31,240
Speaker 1: he's coming off major shoulder surgery, so they're not going

2396
02:03:31,280 --> 02:03:34,520
Speaker 1: to have him run as much. And while McCaffrey's numbers

2397
02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:36,680
Speaker 1: will probably be off the charts this year, I am

2398
02:03:36,720 --> 02:03:39,520
Speaker 1: saying false. So now you're gonna ask me, well, who

2399
02:03:39,560 --> 02:03:41,920
Speaker 1: do you like better? I like Lamar Jackson and mark

2400
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Ingram a lot. Yeah, I would take Russell Wilson and

2401
02:03:45,080 --> 02:03:48,960
Speaker 1: Chris Carson over these two. Another team that runs the

2402
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:52,920
Speaker 1: football a lot now in Seattle. So I'm saying false.

2403
02:03:53,160 --> 02:03:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think McCaffrey's a wonderful talent and do

2404
02:03:56,800 --> 02:04:00,680
Speaker 1: everything back, but Cam Newtons not running much anymore, that's

2405
02:04:00,680 --> 02:04:02,920
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen coming off shoulder surgery. I'll go

2406
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 1: more traditional. I like Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt in Cleveland.

2407
02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:07,280
Speaker 1: I think when Kareem Hunt comes back, if he does,

2408
02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:10,760
Speaker 1: we're talking quarterback running back. They said they said running back. Duo,

2409
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Oh it ain't everybody, Okay, I thought it had to

2410
02:04:14,520 --> 02:04:16,120
Speaker 1: be a quarterback. In a running back, you have a

2411
02:04:16,160 --> 02:04:18,560
Speaker 1: better one two running Backs. I think Chubb and and

2412
02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:22,680
Speaker 1: uh and the kid uh Kareem Huntley. I mean if

2413
02:04:22,720 --> 02:04:25,160
Speaker 1: heded for half the year. But yeah, I get what

2414
02:04:25,280 --> 02:04:27,560
Speaker 1: you're saying, but I like those two better. But yeah,

2415
02:04:27,560 --> 02:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think Cam Newton. I'm saying false two.

2416
02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:33,240
Speaker 1: Cam Newton does run it like he used to. I

2417
02:04:33,280 --> 02:04:35,440
Speaker 1: mean that, and they won't ask him too. He's tired

2418
02:04:35,480 --> 02:04:37,640
Speaker 1: coming off shoulder surgery. That's tired. He's tired of that.

2419
02:04:37,800 --> 02:04:40,680
Speaker 1: So that's uh, NFL true false number two, all right,

2420
02:04:40,800 --> 02:04:44,720
Speaker 1: NFL true false number three. I'm sorry I chuckled there. Jets,

2421
02:04:44,920 --> 02:04:47,320
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, Robbie Anderson could be the best

2422
02:04:47,480 --> 02:04:49,840
Speaker 1: rod receiver in the National Football League. I mean, just

2423
02:04:49,880 --> 02:04:52,840
Speaker 1: starting that is false. And I'll tell you why. I'm

2424
02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 1: not saying that we had that. Where would Where did

2425
02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:57,840
Speaker 1: that emanate from? I want to get the writer on

2426
02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:00,320
Speaker 1: this came from New York. It came from New York.

2427
02:05:00,360 --> 02:05:01,720
Speaker 1: He came from himself. He said, I want to be

2428
02:05:01,840 --> 02:05:04,320
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver in the National Football Those are

2429
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:07,920
Speaker 1: his that's his great expectations. I get it. Here's the thing.

2430
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:09,480
Speaker 1: If you want to be the best wide receiver in

2431
02:05:09,520 --> 02:05:11,160
Speaker 1: the National Football leage you would have showed more than

2432
02:05:11,240 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 1: Robbie showed last year, even with a rookie quarterback. You

2433
02:05:13,440 --> 02:05:15,160
Speaker 1: look at some of the guys around the National Football

2434
02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:20,520
Speaker 1: League like DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green, Julio Jones, Keenan Allen,

2435
02:05:21,080 --> 02:05:23,120
Speaker 1: certainly those I don't even think he's a legit number

2436
02:05:23,200 --> 02:05:26,080
Speaker 1: one receiver. He wants to be better. He has a

2437
02:05:26,120 --> 02:05:28,760
Speaker 1: lot of room to prove, no question about it. Certainly

2438
02:05:29,160 --> 02:05:31,520
Speaker 1: a second year under the under the belt of Sam

2439
02:05:31,640 --> 02:05:35,160
Speaker 1: Darnold throwing him the football. He's uh, he's I just

2440
02:05:35,280 --> 02:05:38,120
Speaker 1: don't think he's good enough because he would have been

2441
02:05:38,240 --> 02:05:40,440
Speaker 1: better last year and put up better numbers and now

2442
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:42,480
Speaker 1: I had, you know, fifty some catches, had like seven

2443
02:05:42,600 --> 02:05:45,520
Speaker 1: hundred and some yards. But he doesn't have it in

2444
02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:47,640
Speaker 1: him to be the best receiver in the National Football

2445
02:05:47,920 --> 02:05:50,600
Speaker 1: Do you know what I think of when I see him? False? Yeah,

2446
02:05:50,600 --> 02:05:53,120
Speaker 1: i'd say false too when I when I see him,

2447
02:05:54,280 --> 02:05:58,320
Speaker 1: I think, at his best, he's a very good number two,

2448
02:05:59,640 --> 02:06:01,600
Speaker 1: kind of like a peerless Price type when he was

2449
02:06:01,640 --> 02:06:04,400
Speaker 1: here with Holds, you know, like he could be a

2450
02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:07,920
Speaker 1: very good number two. Right, He's not a one, not

2451
02:06:08,040 --> 02:06:13,640
Speaker 1: in my eyes, right, He's uh. He's like the guy

2452
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:15,080
Speaker 1: that was here in Buffalo, and now he's with the

2453
02:06:15,200 --> 02:06:21,920
Speaker 1: La Rams. Robert Woods. Robert Woods, he's a gritty player,

2454
02:06:22,040 --> 02:06:24,640
Speaker 1: kind of a gotcha guy, gonna a try hard guy. Guy,

2455
02:06:24,640 --> 02:06:28,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna block. I think Robert Woods is better. I'll

2456
02:06:28,840 --> 02:06:30,280
Speaker 1: tell you that right now. And Robert Woods is the

2457
02:06:30,360 --> 02:06:33,440
Speaker 1: number one on the on the Rams offense. But he's

2458
02:06:33,440 --> 02:06:35,760
Speaker 1: a gritty, hard nosed player who gives you the best

2459
02:06:35,800 --> 02:06:38,000
Speaker 1: effort all the time and plays hurt plays it, does

2460
02:06:38,040 --> 02:06:40,680
Speaker 1: all that nitty gritty stuff. I don't know if Robbie

2461
02:06:40,720 --> 02:06:42,960
Speaker 1: Anderson is at that level even so, I think he's

2462
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:45,040
Speaker 1: got a long way to go. Certainly, it's it's nice

2463
02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:46,520
Speaker 1: to hear him say I want to be the best

2464
02:06:46,560 --> 02:06:49,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the National Football League. I don't think

2465
02:06:49,520 --> 02:06:51,840
Speaker 1: he can make it. Um. I don't think he's got

2466
02:06:51,880 --> 02:06:54,560
Speaker 1: the physical ability or the skill set to do it.

2467
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:56,520
Speaker 1: And I don't think he's sitting in the right I

2468
02:06:56,560 --> 02:06:58,520
Speaker 1: certainly don't think he's sitting in the right team to

2469
02:06:58,640 --> 02:07:02,240
Speaker 1: get that done. So I don't know. I concur one.

2470
02:07:03,080 --> 02:07:05,640
Speaker 1: That's NFL true false brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2471
02:07:05,720 --> 02:07:07,240
Speaker 1: New York's artists and Cheese and we come back and

2472
02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:09,440
Speaker 1: to finish up the final segment of the show, We're

2473
02:07:09,440 --> 02:07:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna do what do we Learned? We had NFL writer

2474
02:07:14,240 --> 02:07:16,520
Speaker 1: Frank schwab On who's with Yahoo Sports. He had some

2475
02:07:16,600 --> 02:07:18,800
Speaker 1: things to say about the National Football League and we

2476
02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:21,920
Speaker 1: also have what do we Learned? And we also have

2477
02:07:22,080 --> 02:07:24,000
Speaker 1: a time maybe to take one more call if we

2478
02:07:24,080 --> 02:07:26,040
Speaker 1: can squeeze it in. This is One Bills Live from

2479
02:07:26,640 --> 02:07:42,600
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. What do

2480
02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:45,560
Speaker 1: we Learned? Presented by Advanced Alarm Providing Western New York's

2481
02:07:45,600 --> 02:07:48,280
Speaker 1: homes and businesses with the finest insecurity and home theater,

2482
02:07:48,560 --> 02:07:51,360
Speaker 1: and the preferred alarm and home theater provider of the

2483
02:07:51,480 --> 02:07:54,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. We had Frank schwab On from Yahoo's Sports

2484
02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:57,520
Speaker 1: and we talked about all the good things that have

2485
02:07:57,640 --> 02:08:01,240
Speaker 1: happened to the Buffalo Bills this offseason, the decisions, the discipline,

2486
02:08:01,240 --> 02:08:03,680
Speaker 1: the free agent signings of the draft. But he said

2487
02:08:03,720 --> 02:08:06,080
Speaker 1: it still comes down to Josh Allen as to how

2488
02:08:06,160 --> 02:08:10,000
Speaker 1: far the Bills will go. But I think rest is

2489
02:08:10,600 --> 02:08:12,760
Speaker 1: coming together pretty well. I think that defense could be

2490
02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:16,240
Speaker 1: really nasty. I mean they have added some dudes on

2491
02:08:16,320 --> 02:08:18,640
Speaker 1: that defense. They could be really good on that side

2492
02:08:18,640 --> 02:08:20,880
Speaker 1: of the ball. And you know, I don't love the

2493
02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:23,240
Speaker 1: pieces around Josh Allen, but they've obviously improved there. They

2494
02:08:23,280 --> 02:08:25,480
Speaker 1: had a great offseason. I think Bill Chens should be

2495
02:08:25,680 --> 02:08:28,200
Speaker 1: very excited about their off season. But yet this is

2496
02:08:28,240 --> 02:08:30,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback driven league, and I don't know where to

2497
02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:32,720
Speaker 1: fallow Josh Allen right now. I really don't like I

2498
02:08:32,880 --> 02:08:35,560
Speaker 1: even talk to people who I trust, I respect, and

2499
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:38,520
Speaker 1: it's still kind of the same. Like, I just don't

2500
02:08:38,560 --> 02:08:40,400
Speaker 1: know where to fall on him. I mean, if he

2501
02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:45,080
Speaker 1: can put it all together, he has such ability, amazing ability.

2502
02:08:45,320 --> 02:08:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's you build that guy in the lap

2503
02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:51,000
Speaker 1: if you're building a quarterback, but actors who usually doesn't

2504
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:53,200
Speaker 1: improve in the NFL, I know, Matthew Stafford is a

2505
02:08:53,320 --> 02:08:56,560
Speaker 1: rare exception for that. Maybe Josh Allen is a Matthew Stafford.

2506
02:08:56,880 --> 02:08:59,120
Speaker 1: Where the mechanics get better is he's playing with better

2507
02:08:59,200 --> 02:09:03,440
Speaker 1: people better and he just improved that a ball placement

2508
02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:05,920
Speaker 1: like you talked about. But if Josh Allen does take

2509
02:09:05,960 --> 02:09:08,000
Speaker 1: that step, if he is, you know, kind of what

2510
02:09:08,120 --> 02:09:10,200
Speaker 1: I think Sam Darnold might be, what I think everybody

2511
02:09:10,240 --> 02:09:12,400
Speaker 1: thinks Baker Mayfield might be, and just takes that second

2512
02:09:12,440 --> 02:09:14,840
Speaker 1: your leap the Bills might be really, really good because

2513
02:09:14,880 --> 02:09:18,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of interesting pieces around him. That from

2514
02:09:18,400 --> 02:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Frank Schwab, writer at YAH who's sports has been there

2515
02:09:21,040 --> 02:09:22,600
Speaker 1: since two thousan twelve. We had him on the show

2516
02:09:22,600 --> 02:09:24,320
Speaker 1: at about one o'clock today and he had some good

2517
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:26,280
Speaker 1: things to say about the Bills in their off season

2518
02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:28,520
Speaker 1: and Brandan thanks for being on the show. I mean,

2523
02:09:37,560 --> 02:09:39,920
Speaker 1: and getting out smooth and silky, like, Hey, people think

2524
02:09:39,960 --> 02:09:45,000
Speaker 1: it's easy. It's obviously it's harder than I'm making it's

2525
02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:46,800
Speaker 1: easier than I'm making it look anyway, I don't know

2526
02:09:47,240 --> 02:09:50,200
Speaker 1: what it's not easily. I was horrible today. I couldn't

Speaker 1: get a I couldn't get us into commercial and out

2528

02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:37,800
Speaker 1: not getting to more callers today because you know, like

2547
02:10:37,880 --> 02:10:39,680
Speaker 1: I said, I was, I was struggling who was your

2548
02:10:39,800 --> 02:10:42,120
Speaker 1: ultimate pick though for our poll? Like what is? I

2549
02:10:42,200 --> 02:10:44,480
Speaker 1: think it's Jets. I think it's the jaj It's the Jets,

2550
02:10:44,720 --> 02:10:47,760
Speaker 1: the Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets team was There are a

2551
02:10:47,800 --> 02:10:50,440
Speaker 1: few teams that are better at screwing it up. I know,

2552
02:10:50,840 --> 02:10:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm going with percentages, you know, and I think they've

2553
02:10:53,160 --> 02:10:55,480
Speaker 1: done it more times than anybody else. Well, who'd you pick?

2554
02:10:56,080 --> 02:10:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Cleveland. I just think there's too

2555
02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:03,000
Speaker 1: many there's too many fuses there to be lit. And

2556
02:11:03,280 --> 02:11:07,280
Speaker 1: I think that combat the combination of the the challenging

2557
02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:14,200
Speaker 1: personalities with a first year head coach, that that's the

2558
02:11:14,320 --> 02:11:21,000
Speaker 1: combination that just says giant volcano just spewing lava and

2559
02:11:21,200 --> 02:11:25,200
Speaker 1: ash everywhere along Lake Erie. See. I don't know. I

2560
02:11:25,560 --> 02:11:29,120
Speaker 1: think I think it's more of a Jet thing because

2561
02:11:29,800 --> 02:11:32,040
Speaker 1: and we're talking about our Twitter poll which NFL team

2562
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:33,520
Speaker 1: has the best chance to be a powder keg in

2563
02:11:33,560 --> 02:11:37,480
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, Browns, Jets, Raiders or other And you're saying

2564
02:11:37,480 --> 02:11:39,160
Speaker 1: the Browns for all those reasons. I think it's the

2565
02:11:39,280 --> 02:11:42,600
Speaker 1: Jets because we here's the thing, no question, there fuses

2566
02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:45,640
Speaker 1: everywhere that can be lit. And same thing with the Raiders,

2567
02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:50,800
Speaker 1: with Fonts, Berfect and the Giancognito, John Grinton, Antonio Brown.

2568
02:11:50,840 --> 02:11:53,080
Speaker 1: You got all that stuff going on, plus the expectations

2569
02:11:53,120 --> 02:11:55,120
Speaker 1: with the with the Raiders and their fans and the

2570
02:11:55,160 --> 02:11:58,320
Speaker 1: fact they're leaving that city. But the Jets, to me,

2571
02:11:58,600 --> 02:12:01,760
Speaker 1: here's the here's why. With the Jets, you may have

2572
02:12:01,920 --> 02:12:03,560
Speaker 1: you've got the same kind of fuses, mostly on the

2573
02:12:03,640 --> 02:12:07,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff or with Levion Bell and how that goes down.

2574
02:12:08,040 --> 02:12:09,560
Speaker 1: But I think the thing about the Jets that gets

2575
02:12:09,600 --> 02:12:11,360
Speaker 1: me is always in New York. There's a lot of

2576
02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:13,800
Speaker 1: fuses on every team that can be lit, but in

2577
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:17,560
Speaker 1: New York, there's always somebody willing to light it, you know,

2578
02:12:18,080 --> 02:12:21,880
Speaker 1: like you're saying, there's a media there's a media person

2579
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:25,000
Speaker 1: there that's always got a blowtwarch ready to light the fuse.

2580
02:12:25,080 --> 02:12:27,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's hard to avoid when and like

2581
02:12:28,080 --> 02:12:30,200
Speaker 1: we said, obviously none of this is going to blow

2582
02:12:30,280 --> 02:12:33,200
Speaker 1: up in anybody's face until something goes wrong. But the

2583
02:12:33,320 --> 02:12:37,240
Speaker 1: NFL season, something always goes wrong, right, and it's the

2584
02:12:37,400 --> 02:12:39,400
Speaker 1: character the people you have on the roster and how

2585
02:12:39,440 --> 02:12:43,040
Speaker 1: they handle that. And I don't have any faith that

2586
02:12:43,160 --> 02:12:45,320
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior is going to be able to handle

2587
02:12:45,400 --> 02:12:48,400
Speaker 1: something that doesn't fit his model of what he should

2588
02:12:48,440 --> 02:12:51,720
Speaker 1: be in the Cleveland offense. And hey, maybe it goes

2589
02:12:51,760 --> 02:12:56,000
Speaker 1: swimmingly for seven eight weeks and they're winning games, but

2590
02:12:56,120 --> 02:12:57,920
Speaker 1: what happens when they lose a couple in a row,

2591
02:12:58,440 --> 02:13:01,160
Speaker 1: or you know, drop yet another game to the hated

2592
02:13:01,200 --> 02:13:05,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, and you know what I mean, and something

2593
02:13:05,720 --> 02:13:08,200
Speaker 1: doesn't go right, and then it persists for two games

2594
02:13:08,480 --> 02:13:10,680
Speaker 1: or three games, or they're not scoring points and it

2595
02:13:10,760 --> 02:13:13,280
Speaker 1: doesn't go away. I mean, it's sixteen weeks at the grind, yeah,

2596
02:13:13,440 --> 02:13:15,280
Speaker 1: and it starts to the preseason. I just have no

2597
02:13:15,440 --> 02:13:17,840
Speaker 1: faith that Obj is gonna be able to hold his tongue.
