Speaker 1: three more OTAs next week and then the following week.

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: The veteran Mandatory not vetter into the entire team mandatory NAMP.

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: You'd be hard pressed to see a distinction between mandatory

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: mini camp and the voluntary session. So far, Steeve, it

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: looks like almost everyone's is here. We're not taking attendance,

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: but it looks like almost everyone just many here. Right, Yeah,

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: it's it's not our job to do that. I mean,

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: we don't go out there because we don't even watch

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: practice because it happens, literally, it starts like ten minutes

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: before we go on the air, so we don't get

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: a chance to see any of it. But there are

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: guys out there even that they're taking names and if nobody,

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: if somebody's not here, you hear about it because it's

28
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: such a big deal, right, especially if it's a star player.

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: So on a daylight today, when they're outside practicing many camp.

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: I want to see the mini caamp too, when the

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: mandatory nickcamp because then they can step it up a notch.

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Speaking of us not watching practice, we were not there yesterday.

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: We watched the first ten minutes or so. But the

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: reports coming out of yesterday's Ota number four, we're kind

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: of over the top about Josh Allen. I was shocked

36
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: at how people were reacting to the way he threw

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: the ball yesterday. He usually throws it pretty well, and

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: the fact that you know the media, that was one

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: of two open OTAs yesterday. There's only been one other

40
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: one last week, and he threw it well, but it

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: became like breaking news locally, Hey, Josh Allens throwing strikes,

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allens throwing dimes. I was a little surprised by that. Ye,

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: and they were gaga over that. Yeah, that's what he does. Yeah, yeah,

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: you and I have I've seen it now. He throws it.

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: He throws a good that's why he's an NFL quarterback. Yeah,

46
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: in practice, especially that we were talking about it today.

47
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: The best I mean this, Seve and I all due

48
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: respect to the Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, the best

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: practice quarterback I've ever seen here was Rob Johnson in practice.

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: He was unbelievable. He threw great press passes. Now, I

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: know Josh Allen's gonna be better than Rob Johnson, but

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: I just I don't want to get too carried away

53
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: about a practice performance. No pads, no contact. Um, you

54
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: know it's it's it's practice. And it's not even a

55
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: botified practice. It's an Oka practice in the month of May.

56
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: You can't go over the top of it, right, I mean,

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: you pump the brakes since you know, and yeah, I

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: get it, And you've mentioned guys like, you know, Jim

59
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Kelly and the Hall of Famers and stuff, and I

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: watched him play and practice, and that there are times

61
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: when practice where the bowl never touched ground. You know,

62
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: it's just every throw was on the money. Guys were

63
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: catching it and run. Of course he was throwing the

120
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: Channel seven. I worked with Murphy. I don't know, eighties, nineties,

121
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: something that, you know, it all runs together for me.

122
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: But when we work together. We were on this huge

123
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: desk and Murph was way over on this side, and

124
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: I think then there was Kathleen and Keith, and I

125
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: think Herb was in here somewhere too, and then I

126
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: was all the way over here. I like hardly every

127
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: who saw the guy, but I know I had one

128
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: conversation specifically about maybe he should learn how to do

129
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: the weather because everybody loves the weather guy and the

130
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: sports guys. You know. I don't know, it's kind of

131
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: like being a salesman or something. But anyway, Murph, congratulations.

210

Speaker 1: be around. I'm extremely lucky to kind of fall into

211
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: jobs where they were good people working who want to

212
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: do a good job. And many of them are in

213
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,800

261
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: hold on, I guess we had Twitter, the Twitter polls

262
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: coming up and all out of the OTAs, and we

263
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: had and we were trying to we're trying to come

264
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: up with the way this offseason is going and taking

265
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: a quick hiccup break for to acknowledge your accomplishments. And

266
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: but we're trying to pump the brakes a little bit

267
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: on the optimism. Well, you and I were both taken

268
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: aback by There was an open Ota practice yesterday. And

269
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: for people who don't know this, all these practices are closed.

270
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: Nobody gets to watch him except Bill's personnel, and they

271
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: let for the first fifteen twenty minutes local media in

272
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: to watch. Right, and yesterday I think they can watch

273
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: a whole practice first fifteen or so. Right, they can

274
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: watch the whole thing, but they can only shoot a

275
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: little bit of shoot video of a little bit of it.

276
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: And all the media comes out of that practice yesterday,

277
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: just like giddy with how well Josh Allen threw the ball.

278
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, we didn't watch it. We were on

279
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: the air during the practice. We didn't get to see it.

280
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: But we've watched you know, we've watched practices during season

281
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: and all that, and Josh looks and throws it like

282
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback should look and he throws it like

283
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback should throw it. It goes where he's

284
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: aim at it, right, Yeah, And you know it's this

285
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: big surpriseazing thing about oh my guys, he's got a

286
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's got a scattershot arm. He's not very

287
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: accurate when he throws out. You know, you and I

288
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: have never bought into that for a lot of different things.

289
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: And now we saw some stuff come out in this

290
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: preseason about how Josh needs to make better decisions and

291
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: one of the reasons his completion percentage hasn't been what

292
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: it should be is because he chooses to make hard

293
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: throws a little too often, you know, not when he's

294
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: demanded of it. When he chooses to he tries to

295
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: throw the big the big shot a lot. He tries

296
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: to push the ball into a window down the field

297
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: a lot more than taking the little dump off for

298
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: the crossing route with a little easy, so to speak, completion.

299
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: And so we've always seen him throw the ball and

300
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: throw it pretty well. But now they've started coming out

301
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: about May if he makes more better decisions and takes

302
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: easier completions like he did in Week seventeen last year,

303
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: his completion percentage will significantly rise. So you and I

304
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: hear these other guys come out there and they're starting

305
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: to watch practice. They say, wow, they're seeing what you

306
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: and I have seen for months now. And so you

307
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: and I decide, whoa, whoa? You know what's different? Yeah,

308
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: And here's one thing that's different is you know, that's

309
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: one practice that was opened this week, will be one

310
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: next week. And then I believe I think I'll I

311
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: don't know what the opening schedule will be media opening

312
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: for the three day mandatory mini camp in mid June.

313
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: But look, Joshka go out there today and stinking up

314
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: and nobody would know, you know what I mean. I

315
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: don't think he will, but that could happen. And maybe

316
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: it's happened in four the first five practices, or three

317
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: of the first five practices so far. So I just

318
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: realized I don't want to damp an enthusiasm. On the contrary,

319
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: I like the fact that people are excited about the bills.

320
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: I got people stopping me at the car wash yesterday

321
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: and today at the Hall of Fame announcement saying, Hey,

322
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna be good this year, aren't we. Yeah, I

323
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be pretty good. But it's a practice.

324
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: It's one practice. The fact that it was open to

325
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: the media leads to the kind of over emphasized importance

326
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: about what went on yesterday. Did Josh row it well yesterday?

327
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: I bet he did. He's thrown it well a lot

328
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: when I've seen him. We're gonna get Chris Brown's the

329
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. He's joining us at the bottom of

330
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: the hour twelve thirty because Brownie. Look, we all work here,

331
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: but Brownie is sort of an impassioned observer radio and

332
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: get too worked up about what he sees. What are

333
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: you laughing about? Right? He gets worked up about stuff

334
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: that he didn't like, but he'll give us the straight

335
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: his take on how well Josh are throwing it yesterday?

336
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're throwing it well. But let's not get

337
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: carried away. So that took. That got us to our

338
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: Twitter question today, and it is up on Twitter. You

339

Speaker 1: guess they were fixed shortly after we went off the

343
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: air yesterday. Strange how that happened, and nobody knows how

344
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: they were fixed. Don't get me started, but what are

345
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: your expectations for the Bills quarterback Josh Allen? And this

346
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: is sophomore year. We're gonna talk a lot today. Steph

347
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: and I are about the second year for various quarterbacks

348
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL, good quarterbacks and others, and what their

Speaker 1: your expectations for Josh Allen in his second year? You

00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: are we gonna take you want to do some tweet

363

00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: Do you want to do our opinions first? I want

365
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: to hear yours. All right, here's here's my thing. I

366
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: we've got and we put some graphics up for the

367
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: people who are watching on MSG about some of the

368
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: other most notable second year quarterbacks, guys like Jared Goff

369
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: who took a huge leap obviously, Carson Wentz who took

370
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: a huge leap, Russell Wilson, who's one of those quarterbacks

371
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: who was a question, our third round draft pick who

372
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: came in and then what happened in his second season,

373
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: and of course Patrick Mahomes last year who really set

374
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: the standard. And there's no time and let me tell

375
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: you this too, Pat Mahomes is not thrown for five

376
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: thousand yards this year. Year he threw for just over

377
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: five thousand yards. Last year. He threw fifty touchdowns and

378
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: twelve interceptions. He just knocked it out of the park

379
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: last year as a sophomore in the NFL. That is

380
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: not going to happen again this year, not only with

381
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: the players around him being a little bit modified, and

382
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: guys who are who have left that fold. But also

383
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: just because that's the way the NFL is teams have

384
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: gotten to know him, and they're gonna come up with

385
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: an exorbitant or sorry, exotic plan if need be, to

386
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: take Pat Mahomes away and not let him throw for

387
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: five thousand yards against him. So Pat Mahomes is going

388
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: to take a step back. But let's face it, Murph.

389
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: When you're talking about sophomore seasons in the National Football League,

390
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: and it was Pat mahomes first season ever as a

391
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: starter where he played any significant time, he killed it.

392
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he killed it. That is the standard from

393
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: now on for a guy coming in in his second

394
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: year in the league to throw for fifty touchdowns and

395
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: twelve interceptions and throw for five thousand yards. Forget it.

396
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: He got to the AFC Championship Game and got him

397
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: to over good the Patriots to overtime in a year

398
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: when the Patriots won the Super Bowl. Man, he did it.

399
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: That's kind of the gold standard. The top of the spectrum,

400
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: and you go down there's guys like mitche Trubisky, who

401
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: was a sophomore quarterback last year. He you know, he

402
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: had twenty four touchdowns and twelve interceptions. He's probably the

403
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: one that's like he did good. His team was really good,

404
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: his defense played really well, but you know, he threw

405
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: for twelve interceptions. I think the one thing for these

406
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that I see that really changed in their second

407
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: year with Russell Wilson, Jared Golf, Carson Wentz, Mitch Trubisky,

408
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: and of course Pat Mahomes as well, their interceptions were low.

409
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: Their big mistake kind of went away a little bit. Now,

410
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: they certainly threw some interceptions, but that was the one

411
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: thing that didn't because you've got guys like Mitch Trubisky

412
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: only threw for thirty two hundred yards. I say only,

413
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: but thirty two hundred yards last season. Russell Wilson threw

414
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: for thirty three hundred and his second year. Then you

415
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: got Jared Goff, who remember that second year of him

416
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: after Jeff Fisher left that organization and Sean McVeigh came

417
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: in and all of a sudden, wow, he's great. Well,

418
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: he had twenty twenty eight tds, seven interceptions. That was

419
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: the thing. The interceptions went away. They didn't have the big,

420
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: huge mistake, but Jared Goff still only completed fifty two

421
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: percent of his completion of his passes in his sophomore

422
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: year twenty eight touchdowns, fifty two percent completions, thirty eight

423
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: hundred yards passing, and he went to the Pro Bowl.

424
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: You know, that was his year as a Rams quarterback

425
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: before this last year when they got to the NFC

426
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: Championship game. So it's not that big a jump to

427
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: start to get into the conversation of being a really

428
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: good quarterback in your second year, no matter what you

429
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: did in your first year. Here's a couple of things

430
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: and you folks should know. You know, the question is

431
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: what are your expectations for Josh Allen in his rookie year,

432
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: As you know, played in twelve games, started eleven, so

433
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: he didn't have extensive playing time, but he had enough

434
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: to get a pretty good idea of who he is.

435
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: Only completed fifty three percent of his passes, all right,

436
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: everybody knows that number. Ten touchdowns, twelve interceptions and this

437
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: and two thousand yards passing. That goes to your point

438
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: about the interceptions going down. If you know, if Josh

439
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: could get to a point where he was two to

440
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: one touchdowns of interception, as most of these good quarterbacks are,

441
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: that would be amazing. I mean, Mahomes is a ridiculous

442
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: fifty touchdowns, twelve interceptions, And it strikes me too looking

443
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: at that list of what five quarterbacks Mahomes, Trubisky, Wentz, Golf,

444
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: and Wilson in their second year. Five different situations here, right,

445
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: Mahomes sat for a year and then started last year,

446
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: and he started in a quarterback pass friendly offense. Right,

447
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: That's what the Andy Reid runs out there. Trubisky got

448
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: a new head coach in his second year in the

449
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: league who obviously got kind of doubled down on Trubisky

450
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: and helped make him better. Russell Wilson second year, much

451
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: better numbers, Jared Goff, As you mentioned, new head coach

452
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: in his second year. So what are the realistic and

453
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: what are your best case expectations for Josh Allen in

454
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: his second year? For Josh, if you're a Bills fan,

455
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: you'd take any one of those numbers, right, any one

456
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: of those numbers for in a second year. But for me,

457
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: you know not. And it's not just about numbers, but

458
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: I would like to see Josh get upwards of thirty

459
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: thirty two hundred, thirty five hundred passing yards two to

460
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: one touchdowns at interception, get that completion percentage up to

461
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: somewhere in the fifty seven fifty eight, maybe sixty percent

462
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: percent of completions. Most importantly, though, when you measure these quarterbacks,

463
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: are any of them, it's win Steve, it's how is

464
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: your team doing? And I think the Bills in Allen's

465
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: second year can live with whatever the numbers say, as

466
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: long as they're successful all on the field. They may

467
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: run it more than any of those five quarterbacks did

468
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: in their second year. They may have a better defense

469
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: than any of those five teams had this year, you know,

470
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: when Josh's second year. So whatever it takes to win

471
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: would be the thing that I'd be looking for when

472
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: it comes to Josh Allen. And really, if you're if

473
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: you're looking for one to do to compy copy, it's

474
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson. You know, he had thirty thirty three

475
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: hundred yards passing, had like a two to one or

476
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: three to one touchdowns, twenty eight was twenty six tds,

477
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: nine interceptions, sixty three percent completion percentage. He rushed for

478
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty nine five hundred forty yards. But

479
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: the bottom flyings right there. Russell Wilson, in his second

480
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: year in the league won the Super Bowl, you know,

481
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: super Bowl thirty eight. That and I'm sorry, forty eight.

482
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: I think that's the x l v I II champion, right,

483
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: super Bowl forty eight. He won the Super Bowl in

484
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: his second year. Russell Wilson did throw him for thirty

485
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty yards, twenty six touchdowns, nine interceptions,

486
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: and rushed for five hundred and thirty nine yards. He

487
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: was just a winner. That's what you want your guy

488
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: to do. Josh's got a lot. Josh's got the tools

489
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson does. Physically, he can run well, he

490
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: can sling it well. The question is that that X

491
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: factor you want him to have, is that winning mentality

492
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: where he makes a play in crucial times, you know.

493
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen was five and six in the eleven

494
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: games he started last year. And remember he's one drop

495
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: pass away five in Miami again, you bet, I am.

496
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: And those kind of things haunt you, you know, but

497
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 1: they also paint a broad brush and start to make generalizations. Well,

498
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: they weren't a winning team with him at quarterback. Yeah,

499
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: they probably were. You're a drop pass away from going

500
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: six and five. With a quarterback with the worst offensive

501
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: line in football, zero wide receivers who were proven in

502
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: the league, and no running game, and a first year

503
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: quarterback who had, you know, started eleven games and was

504
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: injured for four games in the middle of it. Who

505
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: was you know, they were a mess at times. Who

506
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: was just trying to keep his head above water? You were,

507
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: And this is a team that you know was playing

508
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: pretty darn well and went playing winning football more often

509
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: than not when he was starting quarterback when he didn't

510
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: know anything, right, you think they're gonna take a step forward.

511
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: I do, I do, But he's got a It's gonna

512
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: a lot of it's gonna come down to Josh Allen

513
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: and his ability to make better decisions. Not completing more passes,

514
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: not running the ball less, now just making better decision.

515
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: You look at that list of quarterbacks who in their

516
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: sophomore year did things. Russell Wilson jumps out he won

517
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and I'm not saying Josh Allen's going

518
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: to do that, but that's the stat that's the bar.

519
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes statistically had the great year, Russell Wilson had the

520
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: great year winning. You want to be in there, you

521
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: want to be in that conversation as a sophomore quarterback

522
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: in this league, particularly when you walk in to your

523
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: training camp and your OTAs as the guy he's going

524
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: to take all the reps. The offense is going to

525
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: be built around him. The other quarterbacks in the room

526
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: are going to be focused on helping him prepare. The

527
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: offense is going to be tailored around his abilities. It's

528
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: going to be getting him some weapons. It's gonna be

529
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: working Tyler Croft and Dawson Knox and Cole Beasley and

530
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: John Brown and all of those guys into his mix

531
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: of his skill set. And that's you know, you gotta

532
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: the conversation starts with those quarterbacks that we've had on

533
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: the screen for the last couple of minutes, and Russell Wilson,

534
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Patrick Mahomes, Mitch Trubisky, all those

535
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: guys who have taken a step forward and who for

536
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: the most part gripped the franchise quarterback moniker and men.

537
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: Those teams are not going anywhere about, you know, with

538
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: those five guys, and none of those teams are making

539
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: any changes. What kind of affectations do you have for

540
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in his second year. This all came about

541
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: because of all of the reporting about his practice day yesterday. Look,

542
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: it's about more than a one day practice in ot as.

543
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: You know that everybody knows that, Yes, there are positive signs,

544
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: Yes he usually throws a ball pretty well. But what

545
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: do you think? What are your expectations for Josh Allen.

546
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk with Chris Brown about that when he

547
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: joined us in a minute or two. But we'd love

548
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: to take your phone calls on it as well. And

549
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: we can't take phone calls on it. Eighth three five

Speaker 1: When we return. It's One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive.

555
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back One Bills Live

556
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy and Steve Casker here

557
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: until three o'clock today, the Bills involved in their organized

558
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: team activity number five. Did we get to the rest

559
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: of the show, Steve, We didn't say. We got Chris

560
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: Brown standingbody to join us here in a moment. Pete

561
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: Priscoe from CBS Sports dot Com coming up at one

562
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: and Trent Murphy's gonna join us after practice. Talk with him.

563
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: He said, kind of a quiet return to lean lineup

564
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: after kind of an injury played first year in Buffalo. Yeah,

565
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: we struggle a little bit with that last year, staying

566
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: on the field in one piece and two. You know,

567
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: when he was out there, I don't think he felt

568
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I'm to ask him about that, because

569
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: for me, that was one of the worst parts about playing. Sometimes. Yeah,

570
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: you could go, but how you know, how good did

571
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: you feel when you were out there? Could you really

572
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: concentrate on what you're doing. I'm gonna ask him about

573
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: that when he comes on. It'll be nice to see

574
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: him after practice. Yep, after practice. We got Chris Brown

575
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: in studio with us right now. Bills Inside from Buffalo

576
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com. At practice yesterday, he follows the rules

577
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: just like the rest of the media. There are open

578
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: OTAs and closed OTAs. Today they're in the middle of

579
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: a closed ota. But you were there for the entire

580
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: practice yesterday, Chris. We were not. We're blown away by

581
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen because a lot of people seem to be

582
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, he had a good day. I actually thought

583
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: his day last week for the open period was even

584
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: sharper than yesterday, really, particularly the two minutes drill. I

585
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: mean he was locked in in the two minutes drill

586
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: back in week one. Last week, I was of the

587
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: opinion he was even sharper in that practice than he

588
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: was in the practice we saw yesterday. That's not to

589
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: say he didn't perform well yesterday. He did, but I

590
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: thought he was even better with that two minutes. When

591
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: he's in two minutes drill, he's pretty good. I think

592
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: he just likes the let's go and let's make plays

593
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: kind of approach where I think when they're you know,

594
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: kind of in more of a regular pace, you know,

595
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to say he struggles. I

596
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: just think there's a comfort level with that hurry up

597
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: that works with him. I don't know if you're interesting

598
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: to see where things go with that, because you know

599
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: that the Patriots have a history of changing tempo on

600
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: teams offensively to get them in a bad personnel grouping

601
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: or to slow it down when they're up on the scoreboard.

602
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: And Dable comes from that school, So you wonder what

603
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: steps he might take this year if he's confident that

604
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: Josh can handle it. And he's already taking those kinds

605
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: of steps. Dable is because he even said yesterday in

606
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: the press conference there have been times already here in

607
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: these first handful of OTA practices where he said, we've

608
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: gone no huddle and I've said, Josh, you call it.

609
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: So you're hands in a second year quarterback an awful

610
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: lot and there don't seem to be too many hiccups

611
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: from what Dabele is saying. So it can be interesting

612
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: to see where this offense goes and morphs and changes

613
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: and develops, because it's largely going to be based on

614
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: Josh's development, and right now he's looking pretty good. What

615
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: do you think got people's attention yesterday with the way

616
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: Josh just throwing the ball? Uh? I mean it was

617
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: your one spectacular throw or something. No, I mean, I

618
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: don't think there was anything different that we didn't see

619
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: last week. Maybe I don't know, maybe they missed it

620
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: last week and just saw this week. I don't know,

621
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: But I mean he threaded the needle a couple of

622
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: times into some very tight windows, and you know, that

623
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: is always impressive when you can see that live when

624
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: there's you know, two defenders closing and he still wedges

625
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: a ball in there to Dawson Knox, you know. Or

626
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: and I think the other thing that he showed yesterday

627
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: was the diversity of throws. He made a nice over

628
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: the shoulder touch past is a Jones, you know, dropped

629
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: it right over his shoulder, you know, not everything was

630
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,479
Speaker 1: a ninety mile per hour laser. So there's some finesse

631
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: elements to his game that maybe some people didn't readily

632
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: recognize this offseason here in OTA's and it's an indication

633
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: that he's kind of diversified what the situation calls for

634
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: and apply the type of throw necessary to make that

635
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: play effect. You've probably seen Josh Adam play practice as

636
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: much as anybody that's not on the team or on

637
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: the step right, and we were talking just before the

638
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: break that Murph and I have seen him throw the

639
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: ball a lot too, not as much as you, but

640
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: it's our when you hear people saying, wow, we made

641
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: this through, it doesn't seem out of character for us

642
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: to have him do that. What's your you know, what's

643
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: your opinion about that is this above and beyond what

644
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: we've seen him do before or is this more of

645
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: the same. I just think it's more consistent. It's happening

646
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: more often. You know, last year at this time he's

647
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: running with the threes. And part of who you play

648
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: with counts in your effectiveness too. Let's let's be honest,

649
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, and now he's the guy. He knows he's

650
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: the guy. His confidence is off the charts. He knows

651
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: the system like the back of his hand, and he

652
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: knows a lot of the personnel that he's working with,

653
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: chiefly the ones he's throwing too. So you roll all

654
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: that together, and then you add in the hard work

655
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: that Josh himself has put in this offseason on his footwork,

656
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: on his ball location, and in determining the right kind

657
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: of throw for the right kind of situation. You know

658
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: you're going to see more effective play more of the time.

659
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: And that's what you're witnessing now. There's only a hiccup

660
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: or two a practice now, where last year at this

661
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: time there were probably half a dozen to ten hiccups,

662
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: just whether it's bad feat so the ball's errant, overthrowing

663
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: a target, reading a play wrong, running out of the

664
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: pocket early. These were all things he was working through

665
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: as a rookie last year. You don't see any of

666
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: those now, or if you do, they're not nearly with

667
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: the quantity that they were last year. Chris Brown Bills

668
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 1: Inside or Buffalo Bills dot Com and studio with us. Well,

669
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: let me get you to what we've got for a

670
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: tribute question today, Brownie, what are your expectations for Josh

671
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: Ellen in his second season? And a lot of what

672
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about, I think, and a lot of people's

673
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: perceptions of what they saw yesterday during the workout and

674
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: whatever good throws they saw. What you've seen the last

675
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: couple of open OTAs based on what your expectation level is, right,

676
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: So first of all, have your expectations change from what

677
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: you've seen the two OTAs? Number one, number two? What

678
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: are your expectations? What do you think's realistic for Josh

679
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: Allen in his second year. I guess what I was

680
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: saying initially to myself was I hope he can take

681
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: the next step, improve his short to intermediate passing game,

682
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: improve his ball location so as completion percentage can be

683
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: up closer to fifty eight to sixty percent instead of

684
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: fifty two percent. Those were my hopes for him. Now,

685
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: after seeing him here in OTAs and watching the way

686
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: he's operated, I'm confident he can do those things. So

687
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: I've gone from hoping to being pretty convinced that, you know,

688
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 1: provided the offense stays healthy and the right people are

689
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: in place, that he can take the next step. It's

690
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: not a hope anymore. It's kind of a more of

691
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: a win than an if. We've been talking about some

692
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: of the other quarterbacks that are in the league now

693
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: in current day that and this is their sophomore seasons,

694
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: and we're looking at it right now. Patrick Mahomes, Turbisky,

695
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, Russell Wilson. You go down that list,

696
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: and it's a little bit of a roller coaster. You know,

697
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: you've got Patrick Mahomes, which has got to be the

698
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: gold standard, although you look at the other end of

699
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: this graphic that we're looking at, Russell Wilson won the

700
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with much less shiny, polished statistics. Now, obviously

701
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: it was the Seattle Seahawks team and they had one

702
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: of the all time great defenses, particularly in the Super

703
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: Bowl they played in, and Patrick Mahomes was carrying the

704
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: entire team on that offense, so he had more opportunities.

705
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: He had the head coach behind him as the offensive

706
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: play caller. Thrown for five thousand yards. Russell Wilson didn't

707
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: have to do that. He threw for less than thirty

708
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: four hundred yards and all of that. So some you know,

709
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: those are the spectrums. One you got a guy winning

710
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The other guy you know, it's the MVP.

711
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I know which one. Everybody wants. You want

712
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: the guy that won the Super Bowl, right, yea, even

713
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: though it you know, think about it, think about it,

714
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: it's a it's a rage. It's about what you want

715
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: your quarterback and your team to look like. But yeah,

716
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's the there's the standard. I think he

717
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: could be somewhere between Golf and Wilson. That's where I

718
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 1: think he could be UM. And part of the reason

719
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: that I say that is because one the completion percentage,

720
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: and it's very hard to bump that up ten percent.

721
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to stay realistic and not get carried away.

722
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if he can be somewhere between fifty eight

723
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: and sixty, that's a good jump from last year when

724
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: he was fifty two point four, so I think that's attainable, um,

725
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, so that that'll fit him somewhere in between

726
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: Golf and Wilson. That'll change during the season as well.

727
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he may start out burying the fifty five percent,

728
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, but he may evolve into you know, so

729
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: in the season it will come out of that. The

730
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: touchdown pass thing, I think is still something that's a

731
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: wait and see only because we have to see where

732
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: this offense goes in light of the changes made at

733
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: running back, offensive line, and wide receiver. We don't know

734
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: does Dable swing more heavily to the passing game because

735
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: he has Josh and a lot more weapons, or does

736
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: he swing back to the run game because the line

737
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: is improved to the degree where he can run it

738
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: whenever he darned well pleases to support his quarterback and

739
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: so and that could very well change. That could very

740
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: well change week to week based on the opponent too.

741
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: So I think until we have a better handle on

742
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: what the identity of this offense is going to be.

743
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: With an improved Josh Allen, an improved offensive line upgrades

744
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: and talented wide receiver and at running back, you know,

745
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to really say where that touchdown to interception

746
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: figure is going to be. I got one more Josh

747
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: Allen question for you, Christy. Stay to the top of

748
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: the hour, by the way today. Yeah, okay, because because

749
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: we've got more questions come up after this, after this

750
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: segment um. The one thing it's kind of reflected on

751
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: the comparison chart the second year, uh second years of

752
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: those great quarterbacks. Look, you got five rushing yards for

753
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in his second year, twenty one for Mitch Drubisky,

754
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns for a Trubisky. Josh had eight hundred

755
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: yards rushing and what eight touchdowns rushing last year? How

756
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: much of that is a component of his game moving

757
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: forward in particular this year. Do the Bills kind of

758
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: want to get away from that totally or do you

759
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: think that'll be part of part of what I don't

760
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: think they'll get away from it totally. I think it

761
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: will exist in some capacity, but I do not think

762
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: it will exist with nearly the frequency that we saw

763
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: last year. And that's more about self preservation than anything else.

764
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: So I think that what you have is a quarterback

765
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: who's certainly capable if you need to turn to that

766
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: page in a pinch, or you feel that that's a

767
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: higher percentage play than maybe what you thought going into

768
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: the game, and you need a play at a specific time,

769
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: you can turn to him and his legs to do that.

770
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: But I think on the whole, they want this guy

771
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: to be a pocket quarterback. If he has to buy

772
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: some time and then throw by rolling out of the pocket,

773
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: that's fine. But taking off, tucking and running, I think

774
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: it's something he'd like to do or the coaches would

775
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: like him to do less of, uh and hopefully with

776
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: a better running game he won't have to. I mean,

777
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: in essence, he was the running game for this team,

778
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: and especially in the second half of the season. I

779
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: mean he's the leading rusher, So I think they want

780
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: to get away from that, and they want their running

781
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: backs doing more of that type of work. Can you

782
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: do it? When Keiko's on the field. I like watching

783
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: him twist and turn them into a spinning time turn. Yeah.

784
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: I think one of the things too, is that's always

785
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: a part of his game because you know he can

786
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: do it. I don't think you're gonna have them calling

787
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: quarterback draws unless it's a red zone kind of thing

788
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: where they empty it out. I don't think he's gonna

789
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have any cold runs. I think you're gonna say, Josh, listen,

790
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: you got a one yard you know it's it's a

791
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: third and one. We're gonna call this pass play. It's

792
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna be moving pocket if you see it.

793
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: Just dive for the first down or slide for the

794
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: first down. Make sure you get it kind of thing. Uh. Situationally,

795
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: they'll call it and say listen, be alert. If they're

796
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna run this, they're gonna open it up like the

797
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: Red Sea. Just walk up through the middle of slide

798
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: for the first down, to stay on the field. Those

799
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: kind of I don't think they're ever. I think it's

800
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: crazy to make call quarterback runs in this league. Um.

801
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills are going to have a

802
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: big page of that in their playbook. Certainly it's there.

803
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: I want it, come on. You don't need to, yeah,

804
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: but you can. Yeah. But I think it's more effective

805
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: as a weapon when it's off the page, not on

806
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: the page, not not when it's designed scripted. Yeah, when

807
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: he when he sees it, and he'll get better at it. Um.

808
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: And he's We've seen him get better at most of

809
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: the things he does as a quarterback. So I think

810
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be very rare that they

811
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: call a quarterback run uh in this because they didn't

812
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: do it last year and he ran for eight hundred yards. Right.

813
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: The only thing is I could see them spreading the

814
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: field more in the red zone with the receiving weapons

815
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: that they have. And I remember the Tennessee Titans would

816
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: do this with Vince Young when he was actually playing

817
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: well before his career went south. They would spread it

818
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: five wide in the red zone. It like the ten

819
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: yard line, and you got five guy's going out in

820
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: the pattern. You only got six defenders. You got five linemen,

821
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it's one on one

822
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: with him in a safety or a linebacker, he's gonna win.

823
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to see it two times a game, at

824
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: least maybe three. He's a big, strong sink Brownie's right,

825
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: I think. And it doesn't have to be in the

826
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: red zone. But I wouldn't do it on the goal line.

827
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd do it on like the twenty going

828
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: in and I'm done. I were splitting hairs because then

829
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: they the guys who were in the back of the

830
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: end zone couldn't run up and make a play on

831
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: him and get a hit on him. You need to

832
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: do it out and where there's some space where he

833
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: can still get the objective, which is the first down

834
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: or maybe the touchdown, and still have space to dodge,

835
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: like the run he made at the end in the

836
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: Miami game this last year where he ran at seventeen

837
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: yards off the end and got in and the guy

838
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: just barely barely touched him as he crossed the goal.

839
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: That kind of play you can see, but you don't

840
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: want to. You know, you don't want this guy coming

841
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: in there and taking on two defenders at the goal

842
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: line because they're gonna they're gonna bear up, you know,

843
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: and that's where you lose him. That's what Carson Wentz

844
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: lost his MVP season trying to dive into the end

845
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: zone between two guys, So you know that's what you're risking,

846
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: and you know, good grief. I mean, you don't want

847
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: that ever. I mean, you got a quarterback who's got

848
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: an MVP season going and the Eagles, he tries to

849
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: dive into the end zone, they lose him. So you know,

850
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, you know, to the rescue risk reward. Right, Hey,

851
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: we got more were to talk about besides Josh Allen

852
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: will do that when we return. Chris Brown states with us.

853
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: One more segment with Chris. It's One Goes Live from

854
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: One Goes Driving. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio, One Guy

855
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: Murphy and he Tansker. Chris Brown joins us for a

856
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: couple of more minutes. You were talking about his observations

857
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: from OTAs. The Bills have had four OTA sessions. They've

858
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: got number five underway right now. We talked a lot

859
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: of We talked to enough about Josh Chris for now.

860
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: It's you noted in your post that's up on Full

861
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: of Bills dot Com. It was a good day for

862
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: for several rookies yesterday, with a lot of playing time

863
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: for several rookies. Well yeah, and it's due mainly to

864
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: the injury situation that some of the positions are dealing with.

865
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: I mean, Frank Gore's sideline, so too is t J

866
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeldon with a groin injury. So Devin Singletary, he's getting

867
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: a ton of first team reps because they don't give

868
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: Shady a lot of work this time of year. So

869
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: he's running with the first team a good deal. Doesn't

870
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: look like he's out of place. I'll say that. Now.

871
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: That's also being mindful of the fact that the pads

872
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: aren't on and you can't really fit up the run

873
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: the way you would when the pads are on and

874
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: you're playing thud. Um. You know, guys are kind of

875
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: going through the motions up on the line to provide

876
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: the holes that he has to read. Um. But yeah,

877
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't look out of place. And uh,

878
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney are getting more

879
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: reps than they probably ever could have hoped for, you know,

880
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: with Tyler Croft out and now Jason Krum out with

881
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: the hamstring injury. So those guys are getting a ton

882
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: of reps, Knox chiefly. Yeah. And I was just going

883
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: to say when when Brian Dable said yesterday that the

884
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: springtime injuries give them a chance to look at other players.

885
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: Those are the two that I thought of, those two

886
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: tight ends. Yeah, and and Knox got the lion's share

887
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: of the first team reps yesterday. And that kid can run,

888
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: He can run. How good can he be? Um? I think, Well,

889
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: it's hard, it's hard. To say wait, wait, wait, wait

890
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: till the pads. Let's wait till the pads get on.

891
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: But we can stand, we can put this stamp on him.

892
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: He's an athlete. He can really run like he doesn't

893
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: look like he's moving fast, and he's covering ground. Um,

894
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: but for a six for a six four guy to

895
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: move the way he moved, I think he ran a

896
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: four or five one at the at the combine, I

897
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: mean he can move um. And I think he's you know,

898
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: blessed with having the experience of being a former quarterback.

899
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: So he's absorbing this system really quick, uh, and is

900
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: not having busts out there in turn ms of assignments.

901
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: There's only just you know, in the two practices we've seen,

902
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: there's just been a couple of times where he'll fight

903
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit with his hands. Not always

904
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, super secure. But he had a good day yesterday.

905
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: He just had one go through his hands. Unfortunately wound

906
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: up being an interception because Poter was standing right behind him,

907
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: one right into his arms. I love it when Josh

908
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: Allen cites Dawson Knox as a guy who seems to

909
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: pick up quickly what's going on out there. Right. A

910
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: lot of times. A couple of times, Yeah, a lot

911
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: of times you have a rookie in the huddle and

912
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: they're like, wait, can you repeat that? What was that?

913
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 1: What was that play? What am I doing? And there's

914
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: none of that with him. He knows, he knows his

915
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: p's and q's, and he's ready and this is an

916
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: opportunity for him, and he has stepped up. I talked

917
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: to Zay Jones after practice yesterday and he said, yeah,

918
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: we're dealing with some injuries here in the spring, but

919
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: some young guys have stepped up, and he mentioned Dawson

920
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: Knox specifically. So that's two or three players who have

921
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: been here a year or two who have singled out

922
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: Knox and his play. So all good things, and you know,

923
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes. But the pads have to

924
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: come on, you know, and we'll see if that play continue.

925
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: You make note in your article about Cody Ford running

926
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: with the first team at right tackle right last week

927
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: he was with the twos. He was with the twos

928
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: on the right side. They rotated him up this week

929
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: flip Tye and Secky to left tackle with the second

930
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: group behind Dion Dawkins. You know, and again it's not

931
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: true line play, but the feet you can tell that

932
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: he has the feet to play the position. I just

933
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: remember watching his college film and for a man his size,

934
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: the way he's able to get to the second level

935
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: get there prevent a linebacker from scraping over the top,

936
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, getting out in front, you know, to keep

937
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: the side of the field sealed where the running play

938
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: is going to is good. And again here's another example

939
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: of a guy who did not look out of place

940
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: with the ones. We'll obviously know more about where it

941
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: goes when the pads go on, because you know, we

942
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: heard Dable yesterday saying, you know, the lineman especially, We're

943
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: not going to worry about who are best five are

944
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: until we put the pads on and watch them for

945
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: a week or two at camp. And the thing I

946
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: was going to ask you about, there's no question though

947
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse's injury really set them back in their ability

948
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: to sort that out. I mean, now they've got all

949
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: these moving parts, all these guys they want to look at,

950
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: and certainly they feel like they've got to give all.

951
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: They signed them to contracts. They're not just out there

952
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: to be bodies, even if their expectations are lower for

953
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: some of these guys. They're going to give them all

954
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: a chance to do what they can do. They're all

955
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: going to get a chance to make the team, and

956
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: that means a ton of reps with different combinations. And

957
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: the one thing that was, you know, we were kind

958
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: of taken for granted, is Mitch Morse's presence in the center. Well,

959
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: him not being there changes everything. It does. I actually

960
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: asked Dabel about that yesterday. What is he doing to

961
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: build the chemistry with Josh when he can't take the

962
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,479
Speaker 1: physical reps? And there are times where Morsel just stand

963
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,919
Speaker 1: out there and you know, snap the ball to Josh

964
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: in a non competitive setting, just off to the side,

965
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 1: and they'll just work on snap count, cadence, those kinds

966
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: of things. So Morrise just gets used to hearing the voice,

967
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, and matching that up with the snap count. Um,

968
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: there's other stuff in the film room that they're doing

969
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: together to kind of walk through line calls and reads

970
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: and making adjustments at the line of scrimmage. And you know,

971
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: hopefully early in training camp Morris is out there. If

972
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: not sooner, who knows. We haven't been given a timetable

973
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: on that. But those core muscle surgeries usually take a

974
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: few months. Conditioning day tomorrow and an OTA on Friday,

975
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: and then three morrowts next week? Right, it might is

976
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: it four next week or just three? It's four this week?

977
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: Look three next week. I think it's one way or

978
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: the other. I may have it backwards, um, but yeah,

979
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: and then that'll be it. Um. And today tomorrow is

980
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: not a conditioning day. It's going to be a full

981
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: bill practice. I'm not I'm not sure. I gotta try

982
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: to make Look, I got my weeks mixed up. Perhaps

983
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: day kind of a day by day, guys, Wednesday, ninth, ninth,

984
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: I'm looking at June. That doesn't help. OTA five is

985
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: today tomorrow Phase three workout and then a number six

986
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: is furday and then next week two fo yeah, four

987
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: next week? That's okay? And what's coming up on the

988
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: website before we let you go? So we have a

989
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: feature coming up now on Josh just kind of mapping

990
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,040

991

Speaker 1: year the OTA Hall of Fame, some of the year

992
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 1: two growth we were hoping for is already revealing itself,

993
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: and not just on the field. So you know, we

994
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: kind of pulled some of his teammates coach table yesterday

995
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott and kind of have them way in on

996
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: what they've seen so far from him and not just

997
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,120

1051
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: you well? We talked a lot about We're talking a

1052
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: lot here today about Josh Allen. He had apparently a

1053
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: tremendous ota yesterday that's got people excited. But beyond that,

1054
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: you've got Josh Allen listed as one of your players

1055
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL who is ready to take the next step.

1056
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: What do you see there, Peton, What do you expect

1057
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen? Well? I like the coming out, probably

1058
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: more so than a lot of people did. And people

1059
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: always pointed to his completion percentage at Wyoming and it

1060
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: wasn't good and there were mechanical laws, but he's played

1061
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: with I always joke around he played with bartenders and bouncers.

1062
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's who we played with when he was

1063
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: at Wyoming. A lot of those castes were dropped at

1064
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo, and you guys know they led the league

1065
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: in drops last year. I mean, the receivers didn't exactly

1066
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: help him out and so and the offensive line was bad.

1067
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: But I think he showed a lot by standing in

1068
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: there taking the shots, and he you know, he would

1069
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: get outside and run. He was much more athletics than

1070
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people saw it, including myself, And I

1071
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: think now that they've built it around them, and that's

1072
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,919
Speaker 1: one thing when I talked to Sean McDermott at as

1073
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: the Comboy, he says, look, we're gonna spend the off

1074
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: season building this thing around their quarterbacks. And they did.

1075
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: They get a slot receiver in Cole Beasley, which is

1076
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: always great to have for a young quarterback. They get

1077
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: a speed guy and John Brown. I think the offensive

1078
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: line upgrades are going to be really helpful to him

1079
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: and so and not by the way. I do like

1080
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: his tight ends office box. I think he's end up

1081
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: being a heck of a players for him down the road.

1082
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: And when you look at this makeup, they're building this

1083
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: thing so the quarterback can take the next step, and

1084
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: I think that's the right way to do it. What's

1085
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: that next step gonna look like this year? Yeah? Yeah,

1086
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: I think he can get to twenties seven touchdown passes,

1087
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven touchdown passes and and

1088
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe ten eleven, twelve interceptions, and then next

1089
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: year it's probably thirty one, thirty two and nine. I

1090
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: mean that that's the kind of progression, the type of

1091
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: ability he had. I think the kid has star potential,

1092
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: I really do. And you know, Baker Mayfield was fantastic

1093
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: last year, and I think he's gonna be very good.

1094
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: I think Sam Sam Darnold struggled the same week freetway

1095
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen did because they didn't have any players,

1096
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: and so did Josh Rosen. But uh, you know, Mayfield

1097
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: stepped into the best situation. This kid's situation was not good,

1098
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: and he handled it. And I think from all the

1099
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: everything you want to see from a quarterback, you want

1100
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: to see how they handle it, he handled it very

1101
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: very well. So I think their star potential. And Pete

1102
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: here when you say, you know, you thought higher of

1103
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen than many people did a year ago when

1104
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: he came out in the draft. Do you think because

1105
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: I think this, that there's kind of a hangover of

1106
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: doubt about Josh Allen, you know, and I think many people,

1107
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, he was a kind of a polarizing figure

1108
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: among the quarterback class of two eighteen, and many people

1109
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: aren't yet ready to say, Okay, this guy will be

1110
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: all right. Do you think that there's anything to that? Yes, absolutely,

1111
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, he's the most ripped apart quarterback

1112
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: of anybody you know, at least from that draft class.

1113
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: On Twitter, it's like everybody takes great delight in finding

1114
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: his flaws and finding his bad throws, and let's be honest,

1115
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: let me make some bad throws. They look awful, but

1116
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: they pick him apart and they shred him, and I

1117
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: don't know why that is. And now everybody banged, like

1118
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: you said, they bang that drum that he can't play

1119
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: is not very good. And then I think he's surprised

1120
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people last year, and now there's ticket

1121
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: to it. So for me, I think there is something

1122
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: to that. The kid's a good kid. He's a tough kid,

1123
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 1: he's a hard worker, and I don't understand the disdain

1124
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: and the dislike for him at all. One of the

1125
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: things about his progression has to do with where he

1126
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: plays in Buffalo. They're the AFC East, you've said, and

1127
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: a lot of what happens in the FC East still

1128
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: and always will kind of revolve around what happens in

1129
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: New England. You think that there may be a year

1130
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: away from wrestling that AFC East Crown away from New England.

1131
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, what do you think is

1132
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: going to happen in New England this year? There's some

1133
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: people who already saw cracks in Tom Brady's abilities at

1134
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: forty one forty two, is that going to progress further

1135
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,760
Speaker 1: in New England and make them more vulnerable? Then perhaps

1136
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 1: people thought about this year, and certainly you said that

1137
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: the Bill. You think that the Bills are gonna maybe

1138
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: not contend for the title until maybe next year. Yeah,

1139
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: I think New England's still going to be the team

1140
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 1: to beat in that division this year. And every year

1141
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: we sit there, we say, when's Brady gonna fall off?

1142
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: When's he going to become an ordinary quarterback and not

1143
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: be able to carry that team? And he's carried that

1144
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: team because they've had some flaws. But I don't think

1145
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: it's this year. I think they're still going to be

1146
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: the elite team in the division. I think the win's division.

1147
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: I think the Jets and the Bills are coming. And

1148
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: I like to make up for the Bills team more

1149
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: so than the Jets right now. I really like what

1150
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: they've done on offense. You know, they need guys to

1151
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 1: step up. Don't get me wrong. I think you know

1152
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: this guy, somebody like say Jones or Robert Foster, one

1153
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: of those guys needs to be, you know, a guy

1154
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: that can stretch the field and get down the fields

1155
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: become more of a factor. I think defensively, you know

1156
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: the pass rush, Jerry Uses is a good player. You

1157
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: know what about the Shack Lawson if you ever going

1158
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: to be one of those, you know, dominant players as

1159
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: they thought he could be. And then you go to

1160
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, some of the other spots. I think there's

1161
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: good players there, but depth could be an issue. So

1162
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: I think that's why they're your way. One thing that

1163
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: stands out about the Buffalo Bills to me watching them

1164
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: on tape, if you're watching him the first two years

1165
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: and Sean mcdermot's tenure there, they play hard. You can

1166
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: tell that they respect their coach and he gets the

1167
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: best out of him. You know, sometimes you wonder when

1168
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: you're watching the game and you go, oh boy, this

1169
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: team doesn't play that hard. I don't know how they

1170
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: feel about their coach, but you can tell when you

1171
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: watch the Buffalo builds, they have nothing but respect for

1172
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: their head coach and they play for him. With Pete Prisco,

1173
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: he is senior NFL columns for CBS sports dot Com,

1174
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,439
Speaker 1: host to the Pick six podcast. You mentioned the Jets

1175
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: and the Bills. You said they're both coming. We talk

1176
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: about the Jets a lot here over the last few weeks.

1177
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: Be and wonder, Steve, and I wonder what the turmoil,

1178
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,919
Speaker 1: the current turmoil, the GM issue with mccagnen and Adam Gase,

1179
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: What if how would that be quantified in wins and

1180
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 1: losses this year will have any effect at all on

1181
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 1: this year for the Jets or the immediate future for

1182
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: that franchise. My personal opinion is, and Steve would probably

1183
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: know this better than me because he played is until

1184
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: it's time to negotiate your contract, guys in the locker

1185
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: room don't care who the general manager is. I mean, yeah,

1186
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: you'd like you'd like that, now, you guys got you

1187
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: know he he played Buffalo At a great general manager

1188
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: of Bill Polly. He was fantastic of what he did.

1189
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: But until he got to deal with the contract situation, it's,

1190
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, you deal with the coach. The coach is

1191
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: the guy, and I think from that standpoint, Adam Gate

1192
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: is the guy that they're going to look to and

1193
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: it's all on him. Now they'll hire a general manager,

1194
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: probably be a guy that can work with Adam Case.

1195
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: Adam Case is high strung, he's very violatile, he's tough, to.

1196
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: You know, he wants things done his way. I understand

1197
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: that Mike mccagnan was an exact opposite. So I think

1198
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: that they were never going to work together. It was

1199
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: never going to be a situation where they meshed. I

1200
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: think from you know, get the right guy in there.

1201
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: Guys will play. You play for your coach. You know

1202
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: you negotiate with the general manager, You play for your coach. Yeah.

1203
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,959
Speaker 1: I agree with that completely and Jet And remember Adam

1204
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: Gas went to Miami in that coaching when they made

1205
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: their coaching change, and he took them to the playoffs

1206
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: with a ten and six record his first year, and

1207
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: then it kind of deteriorated around him. Could we look

1208
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: at could we be looking at kind of a repeat

1209
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: of that where he comes in gets a splash this

1210
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: year with all the free agent money they spent with

1211
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: the draft picks that they got with Sam Darnolin his

1212
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: second year, Could Adam Gase get that same kind of

1213
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: bump for the Jets take them to the playoffs maybe

1214
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: in his first year, and then as this general manager

1215
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: thing progresses and they have to start building this team,

1216
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: it starts to go like it did in Miami. No,

1217
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't think so I don't because I don't think

1218
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: they're playoffs team this year either. I just don't. You know,

1219
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: I think both the Bills and the Jets will be,

1220
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, eight and eight, seven and nine pushing for something.

1221
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know if either one of them will

1222
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: get there to have to throw ball out the past

1223
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: their their way to get there. But but I think

1224
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: you know what happened in Miami, and I'm gonna give

1225
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: credit to Adam Gays for this. There were guys in

1226
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: Miami that didn't want to buy in and and you

1227
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: know you could. J gis perfect example. They've got him

1228
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: back in why he didn't buy in. He became a problem.

1229
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, you know, they he was an issue at

1230
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: times for them, the Dominican sue. He fined them over

1231
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: and over and over and over again and just wouldn't

1232
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: do it. And so you know, when a guy makes sap,

1233
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: which money to find money is a little slap on

1234
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: the risk you didn't care. So when that happens, you

1235
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: get rid of guys. And so I give Gays credit

1236
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: for that. The problem is when you do that, you're

1237
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: getting rid of talent, and you know you gotta Sometimes

1238
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,959
Speaker 1: you gotta have a fine line between having the team

1239
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: built the way you want to build it, but also

1240
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: having guys that might not be one hundred percent buying in,

1241
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: but might be ninety percent buy again. Talking with Pete

1242
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: Prisco of CBA sports dot Com, I want to get

1243
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: you around the league a litt but Pete, and the

1244
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: news that came out yesterday about Richie Incognito, one of

1245
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: our favorites here in Buffalo, with a new role, a

1246
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: new job with the Oakland Raiders. Will he fit in

1247
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: with the Oakland Raiders, These Oakland Raiders, not the you

1248
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: know Oakland Raiders of nineteen eighty seven or something like that. Yeah,

1249
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: he would have been great and the old Oakland Raiders,

1250
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: no question about that. I mean. And if you guys

1251
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: know Ritchie's when you watch film Ritchie, it's one of

1252
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: the most pleasurable things to do is to watch him

1253
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: after the whistle. And I told him that, I go,

1254
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: I go, Richie, you're you're you are dirty and Sylphie

1255
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: after that whistle, I said, but you push it right

1256
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: to the edge. You know, it's not like he's you know, blasted.

1257
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: Guys like Sue doesn't stepping on their head but Richie

1258
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: after the whistle right or right up until the whistle

1259
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: is a fun watch. He's a tough kid. He's you know,

1260
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: good to have around when you're you know, from a

1261
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 1: run game standpoint, if that's what the Raiders want to

1262
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: do more of. And it's a one year deal. And look,

1263
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: he's had his issues. Everybody knows that he had his

1264
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: issues in Miami. He's had issues off the field, Richie,

1265
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,439
Speaker 1: and you guys know Ritchie. Richie can be a vote

1266
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: tall guy. I happen to like again. And look, I

1267
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: know he's had some missus in his life, but I

1268
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: like Richie and Conino. And on a one year deal,

1269
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: that could be a good signing for the open. Well,

1270
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of guys that they've brought on board.

1271
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: Is it going to be enough to help Derek Carr

1272
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: prove that he is the quarterback he was about three

1273
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: years ago when they were twelve and four? Well, yeah,

1274
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean that's everything they've done this entire off season

1275
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: is to point the finger right out of them. I mean,

1276
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: you go out and get Antonio Brown, you sign Tyrone Williams,

1277
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: did draft Josh Jacobs to bring in some offensive line?

1278
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: Help you know, you get Trent Brown to play right tackle.

1279
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: You know, for me, everything they've done is to find

1280
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: out if if he's the guy and you know you

1281
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: hear Gruten likes them, but he wants them to be

1282
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, stand in the pocket, take the shot to

1283
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: make the throws. Yeah, everything's in your in your court

1284
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: right now. Let's see if he can do it. Hey,

1285
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: there's you know, some attention focus on the Bills a

1286
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: ton of attention in recent months, Pete focused on the

1287
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, who have added talent and they have a

1288
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: good young second year quarterback. They also have a first

1289
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: time head coach, Freddy Kitchens. Can he get that talent

1290
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: together into a team, maybe a successful team. Yeah, I

1291
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: mean the talent is there, but you know, it's one

1292
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: thing to talk about it in May, June, and July,

1293
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: and it's another thing to go out and do it

1294
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: in December. But particularly it's another thing to go out

1295
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: and do it in December. I always say that until

1296
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: you learn how to win close games, big games in

1297
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: December games, show me. You gotta show me. If you

1298
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: can show me you can do that, then I'm gonna

1299
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: be a believer. And they haven't done it. Yet they've

1300
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: not been a team that's been forced to play that

1301
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: style and play in those situations and it's all new

1302
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: to them. So until they show me they can do it,

1303
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have my reservations. Plus the first time coach,

1304
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: plus it's you know, yeah, yeah, he's he's an offensive guy.

1305
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Who He's got Todd Monkin in there as an offensive coordinator.

1306
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: How's that going to mesh with Baker Mayfield? They still

1307
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: have you know, Greg Robinson who played okay at less

1308
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: tackle last year, is he going to be able to

1309
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: hold up again? You know, the right tackle is a

1310
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: solid player, but not a great player. They don't have

1311
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: the best offensive line in the league, so there's still

1312
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: some issues there. But yeah, on paper, very good team.

1313
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: It's be excited about what they have, but again, you

1314
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: got to go out and show me. Yeah, just as

1315
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: a follow up to that, do you think Freddie Kitchens

1316
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: is the biggest question mark left in Cleveland? No? I

1317
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: think the left tackle is. Look, he played well last year,

1318
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: but if you're a left tackle is a problem, you're

1319
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna have a problem. And I got to see him

1320
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: do it again. You know, they brought him back, and

1321
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, the right tackle. Chris hupperts a solid player

1322
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: and not a great player. But bring it back to

1323
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: your left tackle last year and can he sustain it again?

1324
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I think that's a big question for that. I want

1325
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: to ask you about a recent podcast you did Pete

1326
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: about quarterbacked extensions. So you guys talked about who would

1327
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: be more deserving. I guess who would you want to

1328
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: extend to a big time quarterback deal, Deak Prescott or

1329
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. How did that turn out? Who did you

1330
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: guys settle on? I would extend Carson Wentz. I think

1331
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. You know, everybody thought Carson Wentz at a

1332
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: bad year last year. He didn't. He was very good.

1333
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: It just wasn't what it was before the injury. But

1334
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: I think the year removed from the injury, he's going

1335
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: to be a heck of a player this year. I

1336
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: think the Eagles are gonna have a good season again.

1337
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 1: But you know what, with those guys, you have to

1338
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: extend them both. You're almost damned if you do and

1339
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: damns if you don't. And I say that not because

1340
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't think either one of them is good. It

1341
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 1: is because, okay, let's say you give mega money to

1342
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Well, he's got to be a special player

1343
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: because essentially your roster's gonna, you know, fall off because

1344
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: of the cap reasons. You're gonna have attrition and then

1345
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it's on him. And then can

1346
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: that quarterback carry a team when things aren't going as

1347
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: well as they are when he was a chief you

1348
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: know quarterback. So from that standpoint, I think you're damned

1349
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: if you do, and your damns if you don't. But

1350
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: I think both guys will get long term extense. You

1351
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: talk about a lot of quarterbacks have been there. Not

1352
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: too many have been in that spot where they're one

1353
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: of the higher paid quarterbacks and then leave. Joe Flacco

1354
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl for Baltimore. He's landed in Denver.

1355
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: Can he recapture what he was doing in Baltimore by

1356
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: winning a World championship out in the mountains. We're gonna

1357
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 1: get after a lot of help from a lot of

1358
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: young players, particularly the wide receivers. I mean, there's a

1359
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: young group around him. And look, he had moments where

1360
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: he was outstanding in the postseason over the years. I mean,

1361
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: he's one of the best postseason quarterback. You put up

1362
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: his numbers. You've been fantastic in the postseason, but that's

1363
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: been the same. He hasn't been very good for the

1364
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: last you know, three or four years, and so from

1365
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: that standpoint, I question it. And you know, John Elway's

1366
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: track record of quarterbacks hasn't exactly been great, So I

1367
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: have to see it to believe it. But right now

1368
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: i'd say that you know they're not going to be

1369
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: a playoffs. Here in my mind, one more question for you,

1370
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: and we're going to tap into your three decades of

1371
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: experience around The segue gets a long term NFL business

1372
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: questions and what appears to me to be kind of

1373
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: conflicting points here. Demorris Smith quoted as sending out a

1374
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: letter to agents. We're advising players to plan for a

1375
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: work stoppage of at least a year in length. And

1376
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: then a story in the New York Times yesterday where

1377
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: they said the NFL has begun, it's pushed for a

1378
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: new labor agreement and things are going pretty well. Which

1379
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: way do you think this is going? Well? I think

1380
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: it's going better than people thought it would go. To

1381
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: be honest with you, but Demarrow Smith is always going

1382
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,439
Speaker 1: to send out the file boat to save your money

1383
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: just in case it doesn't. You know, yeok, we know

1384
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: these guys aren't going to save their money for that.

1385
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. I'm not saving either. I mean,

1386
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: you can throw them all. Look, you might not work

1387
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: in a couple of years, save your money, well, love,

1388
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: those guys, think about the ranked file the National Football League.

1389
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: What fifty percent of them won't be in the league

1390
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: in a couple of years, right, what are they saving

1391
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: their money for? I mean the reality is is, yeah,

1392
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: the stars, they could save their money, but the ranked

1393
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 1: file aren't going to be in the league. The majority

1394
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: of those guys are gone. So what are you saving

1395
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: your money for? You know, granted I'm not saying you

1396
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 1: should save your money anyway, but but it's hard to

1397
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: tell those guys to do that to prepare for something

1398
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: they're likely not going to be involved. Yeah, do you

1399
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: think what are the chances do you think there'll be

1400
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: any kind of work stoppage or do you think both

1401
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 1: sides will see that? If you know, um, if it

1402
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: does have a the damage it could do if they

1403
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: do get a workstoppage, how big a specter does that

1404
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: possibility cast over the negotiations and what do you think

1405
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: the chances are that something actually doesn't get done before

1406
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: it expires. The league's making money, the players are making money,

1407
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 1: The CAP's going up. You know they're gonna let them

1408
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: smoke pots eventually, you know, Yeah, I think it gets done.

1409
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: I think cooler heads will prevail. Now. One of the

1410
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: things I've talked about is an eighteen game season. If

1411
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: people think I'm nuts, but what you do is expand

1412
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: the rosters. That means more jobs. Give them each team

1413
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: two weeks off, and each player aside from the quarterback,

1414
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: plays only sixteen games, so it puts more strategy into it.

1415
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: Now you've got to decide, am I going to play

1416
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: a guy in week seventeen that's or is he going

1417
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: to be ineligible to play? And it gives more jobs.

1418
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: It will put more money in the pockets of the players,

1419
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: and then you can maybe give them a little bit

1420
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 1: more time off in the summer, uh to you know,

1421
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: recoup their bodies a little bit. For me, I think

1422
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 1: that would work. I don't know if it'ld over be

1423
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: out there, but I think that's a formula for successful

1424
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 1: expanding the league. Tame just a second pet I want

1425
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: to take a deep breath. I'm gonna push back from

1426
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: the microphone and a my partner, John Murphy's gonna gonna

1427
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: expand it on a soar point here, Pete, because we

1428
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: call that the Tasker plan. Here players play sixteen games

1429
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,759
Speaker 1: in an eighteen game season. I've told Steve he was crazy,

1430
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: and now he's gonna site you whenever he brings up

1431
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: the Tasker plan. No, I never heard you say this, see,

1432
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: but it's absolutely if it makes all the sense in

1433
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: the world. And aside from the quarterback, the quarterback has

1434
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: to play a TV that's fine. Here's the thing. You're right,

1435
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: the stars got you gotta have the quarterbacks play because

1436
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: the position is too difficult. But you get it's you

1437
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:46,679
Speaker 1: give the union more jobs, you give the TV people

1438
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: more product, and and you cut the preseason by two games.

1439
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah see, and then you have one scrimmage like okay,

1440
01:08:56,160 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: the build each year would go to Toronto or something

1441
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 1: and having scrimmage with another Northern team where you go

1442
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: to a city where and all the money that's raised

1443
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: goes to the charitable groups in the area forever like Buffalo,

1444
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 1: and who else trains up there by Buffalo? You could

1445
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: get those two teams to go to one of the other.

1446
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: You go Buffalo Cleveland, have the game in the eerie

1447
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: for for whatever. Yeah yeah, and you go to the

1448
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 1: high school stadium and whatever money you raise, you have

1449
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: like a carnival like atmosphere for you get bands out

1450
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: there and whatever money is raised that week, it goes

1451
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: to the charities in that area and gives a lot

1452
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: of people a chance to experience NFL football that can't

1453
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: necessarily experience it. And for me, I think it makes

1454
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: all the sense of the world. You get eighteen games,

1455
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: like you said, more product for the TV fans will

1456
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: love it. The seasons longer, and you know, the players

1457
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: aren't playing more games, which and it's just the only

1458
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: people who won't won't like it are the coaches because

1459
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: it puts more strategy and play. Well. Pete, now we

1460
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: gotta let you go because Tasker wants to take a

1461
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: victory lap around our studio here. I'm telling Pete, it's

1462
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: it's a great plan. I love it. Thank you, Pete.

1463
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: We appreciate you guy. We appreciate your perspective. Thanks Pete. Prisco,

1464
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: CBS Sports NFL couldun the Senior NFL column as hosts

1465
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: of the Pick six podcast cover the NFL for over

1466
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: thirty years, and he agrees with Steve Tasker. Look a

1467
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: lot of what he said. I agree with two two

1468
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: preseason games, have a scrimmage with a chair by team,

1469
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 1: give the proceeds to charity. Blah blah blah. I'm all

1470
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: by that. Sixteen or six players playing sixteen of the

1471
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: eighteen games, No, nope, can't do it. Quarterbacks play, okay, quarterback.

1472
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 1: What if Larry Fitzgerald in the Arizona Cardinals around the schedule, Oh,

1473
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,600
Speaker 1: we're keeping Larry out this game. I'm not going to

1474
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:39,600
Speaker 1: that game. And if as a season ticket older, I

1475
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 1: want a refund because I'm not seeing the Arizona Cardinals

1476
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: with Larry Fitzgerald or Antonio Brown and the Oakland Raiders.

1477
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: None of that makes any sense. Oh, if Larry Fitzgerald

1478
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: on a Friday steps off the curtain breaks his ankle,

1479
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: it's not a conscious, deliberate decision to keep him out

1480
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: of the line. You know, you know those rules going

1481
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: into buying your season tickets. You know there's a chance

1482
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: you have seen a deliberate decision to keep the guy

1483
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: out on the lineup. That's not treating the fans fairly,

1484
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: that's not it's a players safety issue. If you and

1485
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco against eight million other NFL fans. Oh, I

1486
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: think the fans would love that. I don't oh I

1487
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: would particularly you know who would really get off on

1488
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: it and Mike Show fantasy football players would go crazy

1489
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: over this because you got guys who you've got to

1490
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 1: stay on top of them, get in and out of

1491
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: the lineup. It's it's it's absolutely positively genius. You and

1492
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: Pete versus every other win win every front. It's a

1493
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 1: win a break. We're back with more One Bill's Like. Hey,

01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco about Josh Allen, and we ask you the question,

1514
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: what are your expectations for Josh Allen in his second

1515
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,719
Speaker 1: season in the NFL. Give us a call. Let's discuss

1516
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 1: eight oh three five fifty the number to call toll

1517
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 1: free from outside Buffalo one eight five fifty two five fifty,

1518
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:00,040
Speaker 1: or you can send it a tweet. We're going to

1519
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: get through the tweet sheet in a moment, but first

1520
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: to call it. It comes from Mark in Buffalo. Hello,

1521
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: Mark Ahead, you're on the air, Mark in Buffalo, Hello, Mark,

1522
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:15,680
Speaker 1: Aw you there? No, he is not callback Mark and

1523
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: Buffalo great tweet. At least the phones are working even

1524
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: if Marks I thought they were working. Yeah, tweet sheet,

1525
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: it is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1526
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: official movers up the Buffalo Bills. Tweet sheet. Take it away,

1527
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 1: Steve all Right. From Nick, he's what are your expectations

1528
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen in his sophomore season? Expectations for approximately

1529
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred yards, thirty tds, five or six tds running,

1530
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 1: obvious growth from last year with a revamped offensive line,

1531
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers that can create separation running game that was

1532
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: non existent in year one. In my opinion, playoffs are

1533
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: a must. If the d can stay a defense can

1534
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: stay top ten, there's no reason the Bills are not

1535
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: a playoff team. If you got a quarterback doing what

1536
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: he says Josh Allen should do. I think he's right.

1537
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 1: You improvement, I think that's true. Thirty touchdowns, Yeah, that is.

1538
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: That's an enormous jump rushing, that's big. And he doesn't

1539
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:11,560
Speaker 1: say anything about how many interceptions last year he was

1540
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,560
Speaker 1: what ten and twelve was and ten touchdowns twelve interceptions,

1541
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: I mean that's played twelve games started eleven last year

1542
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: and got the ten touchdown passes. So what's that. That's

1543
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: a rate of one point two per game. So I

1544
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 1: don't know, can you get it up to two points

1545
01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: something a game to get the thirty touchdown passes? That's

1546
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 1: a lot. It's a big jump. That's a big jump.

1547
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: But that's what we're talking about here. Some of these

1548
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that we've been speaking about that have done that.

1549
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 1: Jared Goff was an atrocity bust his first year and

1550
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: then he turns into you know what is what could

1551
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: have been an MVP candidate a year or two later.

1552
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 1: So we try to have a phone call here, let's

1553
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: see we can do this, Cory and Buffalo Corey. I'm

1554
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: gonna put him on hold and we will retrench. But

1555
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 1: why don't you go to Okay, we go back to

1556
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet from Brian. What are your expectations for

1557
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in his sophomore season from Brian, And obviously

1558
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,560
Speaker 1: there's a bit of an improved surrounding cast, and we

1559
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: can see more than his desire to compete for wins,

1560
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 1: not putting stats into it. I wanted to be a

1561
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: pocket passer who delivers catchable balls. In all three levels

1562
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 1: while recognizing the defenses and deciphering optimal target. And I

1563
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: just say this, I love the fact that Brian did

1564
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 1: not do it in a stat based way because I

1565
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:21,879
Speaker 1: don't think the true manager of Josh or any quarterback

1566
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,680
Speaker 1: comes from solely statistics. There's a lot more to it.

1567
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: We all have this idea that when we see it,

1568
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: we'll recognize it no matter what the statistics say. We

1569
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: see it. We staying about him now, well, now we

1570
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: all the people who believe Josh Allen is the guy.

1571
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: It's not about his statistics last year, certainly, right. I

1572
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 1: mean statistics were bad last year. He had started eleven games,

1573
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: they were five and six in those games he threw

1574
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: for just over what two thousand yards? Last season? He

1575
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: just wasn't good enough, right, And the problem is that's

1576
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 1: your stats aren't reflective of the effect that he had

1577
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 1: on the game. Remember how you felt when you watch

1578
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: this guy play. He was the best player on the

1579
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: field on either team in more than a handful of

1580
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 1: games that we watched him playing. Last year, this team

1581
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: was five and six with him, And I can I

1582
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: keep going back to it, or dropped passed away from

1583
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:21,640
Speaker 1: being six and five with him a starting quarterback, and

1584
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: he was the reason they were one and four without him.

1585
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:29,679
Speaker 1: I mean, he was compelling to watch. He carried this offense.

1586
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: He made this whole team way better than it was

1587
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: without him. And that's what you look at. So when

1588
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: you get a guy like Brian who comes in on

1589
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:39,879
Speaker 1: the tweet sheets says, I'm not gonna put a statistic

1590
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: on it. I just wanted to look like it. I

1591
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: get it. And even though even though it's hard to communicate,

1592
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: you know it when you see it. Most of us do.

1593
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: Another from the tweet sheet, from the Corrigan Moving System

1594
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, from one shot tweets, and I expect peaks

1595
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 1: and valleys, but more wins than losses. Josh is a

1596
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: team player who wants to win more than anything else.

1597
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I expect him and Dave Old to find weaknesses in

1598
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 1: opposing defenses and game plan to exploit those weaknesses. I

1599
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 1: expect some big games and some sound game manager type games.

1600
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: It's a good way to look at it. Right. There

1601
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,560
Speaker 1: might be games where his numbers are not impressive and

1602
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: you see, well they won and he didn't turn it

1603
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 1: over more than once or something. Right, you know, you

1604
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: can live with that. I think if your defense is

1605
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: as it was last year, a top ten They were

1606
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: a top two defense last year. If your defense is

1607
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:27,560
Speaker 1: that good and you got a strong running game, you

1608
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 1: can live with game manager type performances from your quarterback. Yeah,

1609
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: I like it too. And here's another one from the

1610
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,200
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. What are your expectations for Josh Allen as

1611
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 1: sophomore season? And this is we're getting into it more

1612
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: and more. Everybody's trying to describe what we all kind

1613
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 1: of see in our own mind's eye. Pete says, I

1614
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 1: hope to see him work on taking what the defense

1615
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:47,719
Speaker 1: gives him, settle down into the pocket, make some better reads.

1616
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: The new weapons around him should help take another step

1617
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 1: this season. All that stuff is kind of you can't

1618
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 1: quantify it, but you know it when you see it.

1619
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 1: And I think, I think what a lot of Bills

1620
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 1: fans would say, you know, as opt mystic because a

1621
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 1: lot of them are me included. I want more people

1622
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: who didn't like Josh two years ago to fall in

1623
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: love with him this year by seeing watching what he does. Yeah,

1624
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean that it's hard,

1625
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 1: let's face him. Pete Priscoe acknowledged it too. We just

1626
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 1: had him on the senior columnists for CBS Sports Network.

1627
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: He said, you know, there's a lot of people who

1628
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: didn't like him. He was very polarizing when he came out.

1629
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that he has won some of those

1630
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: people over. But it'd be nice for him to put

1631
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: the people who he didn't win over on an island

1632
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: by themselves. You know, like, now, what do you say?

1633
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: You know, they've got to make it. They've got to

1634
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: acknowledge how good he is, right, what a difference player,

1635
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: the kind of player he is, the way you know

1636
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: you and I are so willing to do Oh he

1637
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 1: can do that, right, there's no guarantee you can do that.

1638
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 1: That's the sweetest thing to think about, though. That's the

1639
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: most delicious thing ever to have all these people out

1640
01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:00,640
Speaker 1: there who are killing him. Still, he was polarizing, and

1641
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to figure why. You know, it

1642
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 1: wasn't like he was Johnny Man's Allen in college or anything.

1643
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: He played wayoming, you know, I mean, even Mahomes wasn't polarizing, right, right, No,

1644
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: some people liked them better than others. The Bills liked them,

1645
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: didn't draft them, but the Bills like them, Well they

1646
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: got more assets out of what they thought was going

1647
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 1: to be an easier place to get one the next year, Yeah,

1648
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: and you know them and everybody else kind of passed

1649
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,639
Speaker 1: on him. Interesting One more from the tweet sheet from

1650
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 1: Brian for Josh's second year, I'm not looking for him

1651
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 1: to hit certain stack goals, but I would love for

1652
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen to become a team captain and lead the

1653
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 1: Bills to a winning season, preferably a wildcard game or more.

1654
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 1: I put in the or more part. I don't want

1655
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 1: to just end it the wildcard game. But yeah, again,

1656
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: this is a non statistical look, and I think you

1657
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: and I appreciate these, a non stat based look on

1658
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: what we're expecting and hoping for from Josh Allen and

1659
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:54,799
Speaker 1: his second year. Look the part at the part win games.

1660
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 1: That's really what we're asking for, right, you know, not

1661
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: razor completion percentage up four or five percentage points. Who cares? Really?

1662
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,560
Speaker 1: Who cares if you're winning, man, right, no matter no

1663
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: matter what it takes. And hopefully we're sitting here having

1664
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,640
Speaker 1: this conversation when you know the team's like twelve and

1665
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 1: four and Josh's you know, run for another seven hundred

1666
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: yards and throw him for thirty. You know, is he

1667
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: doing too much? Do they need more help? Does you know?

1668
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: How do you do it? This week? You know he

1669
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: ran too much this week, but he threw a bunch

1670
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: of this week. They won both games. You know that

1671
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Those are the kind of debates you

1672
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: love having if you're a fan, and that's kind of

1673
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 1: the thing. You sit back and you look at Josh

1674
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: and what's it gonna look like. It's hard to know

1675
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 1: because he can do all of that, right. Um, they

1676
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: tell me to try the phone lines again. Here we go.

1677
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you, murf. Let's go push the button. Oh

1678
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: now I can't. It's been great. Seriously, you can't, you can't.

1679
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: We can't get a phone call up. I got a

1680
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: call from Corey in Buffalo. Can we bring that up?

1681
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: Corey in Buffalo? Hello Corey? Hey, can you hear me now? Murf?

1682
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: We can't. Thank you, Correy, thanks for getting through quite

1683
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 1: a special. We're gonna send you a gifts or divergate

1684
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: to some plate. We're not this Mark and Buffalo. Oh

1685
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 1: well we'll not back then you won't get that gifts. Good. Sorry,

1686
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 1: Mark and Buffalo welcome. Congratulations Murphy. I think Steve needs

1687
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: to start calling you mister Murphy from now on as

1688
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, Broadcast Hall of Famer. It ain't happening, absolutely,

1689
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 1: you know that's not that's a good point, but you

1690
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 1: But thank that's good. Yes, congratulations to John Murphy. Everybody

1691
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: who just got is going to be inducted into the

1692
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:35,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo Broadcast Hall of Fame. We're stoked about it. What

1693
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 1: do you got, Mark? Uh? Real quick, a couple of comments, Uh,

1694
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I believe he's gonna have a kind of

1695
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: season where his highs are going to be real high

1696
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 1: and maybe some lows that are sort of low. I'm

1697
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 1: just hoping that he outnumbers the lows by two to three,

1698
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: four plays to one, okay, because I think he's that

1699
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,560
Speaker 1: kind of talent. Question Mark, why do you see the

1700
01:21:55,640 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: lows being so low? Um? You can't dismiss some of

1701
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 1: the bad throws that he made last year. He's got

1702
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: to work on that, and I know he is, and

1703
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: I believe he's going to correct that. That's number one.

1704
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 1: But he's also still a young quarterback and he still

1705
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,639
Speaker 1: hasn't seen a lot of things, so he may get

1706
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: fooled on some plays. He still needs to grow his knowledge.

1707
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: I believe he's a leader. I believe he's willing to

1708
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: take control of things out there. Excuse me, but I

1709
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 1: think he's still going to have some some growth things. Yeah,

1710
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: let me And that's that's an interesting point, Mark, and

1711
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 1: I just went back and looked and thought a little

1712
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:35,919
Speaker 1: bit about last year. His worst performance last year probably

1713
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 1: was the game at green Bay right through a couple

1714
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 1: of interceptions, no touchdowns, Right, and how bad was he

1715
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 1: that day? The whole team was bad that day, by

1716
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 1: the way, but he might have been his worst right

1717
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 1: the Green Bay games? What do you think was that?

1718
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: What you're thinking? Mark? Yeah, I am, But I think

1719
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 1: I've been a Bill's fan for since the day they

1720
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: opened quote unquote rich Stadium, and I had seasons through

1721
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: almost two thousand and we haven't had a quarterback since

1722
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 1: since Jim that no matter how bad the game seems

1723
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: to be going on any given play, that guy a

1724
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 1: quarterback can turn a game around for us. And that's

1725
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: the feeling I get with Josh. He can turn the

1726
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 1: game around with one throw. He's competitive is all get out.

1727
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,920
Speaker 1: He wants to win, and he fits our team so well,

1728
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: he fits us communities so well. I mean since the

1729
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 1: day he started playing here, I following in well with him,

1730
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 1: and I just hope he continues to grow. So that

1731
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 1: that's my thoughts about but Josh, and then the other

1732
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to comment on real quick is the

1733
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: eighteen game schedule. One thing's for sure, sports sports lie

1734
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: ULDs are like politicians. If it makes too much sense,

1735
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: it's too much common sense and the people want it,

1736
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 1: they'll never go for it. So I love to hear it,

1737
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: love to see it, but I don't believe they'd ever

1738
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: go for it. Do you think it makes sense to

1739
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: keep players out when they're healthy? I do. If you're

1740
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 1: gonna go to an eighteen game schedule, I think it

1741
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 1: would be really really interesting. I mean, sports team could

1742
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: become sort of boring. We need to change things up

1743
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: a little bit, not the same old, same old every year.

1744
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: It would be really interesting to see how a coach

1745
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 1: would handle trying to move players from the offensive line

1746
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 1: in and out to the point where he doesn't weaken

1747
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 1: his line any given a week. I guess it's interesting.

1748
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 1: It's also like saying, Hey, this week, we're going to tire.

1749
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: Your one arm behind your back. Now, let's see a

1750
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: fight with one arm. And that's what we're talking about here.

1751
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: You have this team you put together. You can't use

1752
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,679
Speaker 1: that entire team this Sunday because of this new rule.

1753
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 1: Go ahead and play. Now, what are we doing? Why

1754
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 1: would we do that? Then? I think you need to

1755
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: abandon ever going to a larger ske Why don't you

1756
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: just play your best pitcher every day because you can't

1757
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 1: pitch well every day, can't play football well every week either.

1758
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 1: Sixteen games is a lot different than pitching. It's no,

1759
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 1: I'm not giving in on this one. We're gonna think

1760
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 1: it's not the same, exactly the same. It's not the

1761
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: same thing. It's exactly the same. We're taking a break.

1762
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 1: See what we're gonna keep saying this. During the break,

1763
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: one goes live from One's Driving. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1764
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back, It's One Bill's Live. John Murphy, Steve Task here,

1765
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,799
Speaker 1: the Bills Ota number five has just completed and joining

1766
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 1: us in studio, getting said for a second year or

1767
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: the Bills six year in the NFL. Happy to have

1768
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 1: defensive end Trent Murphy, High, Trent, thanks for coming by.

1769
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: Were happy to be here as always. We were reminiscing

1770
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: about a year ago. At this time, you were basically

1771
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 1: on the station, everybody on the sideline. You couldn't do

1772
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: much right with me Now he had me in the

1773
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: red jers. They looked like a quarterback out there. It

1774
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: was it was the worst. So I'm happy to be

1775
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: out there with my guys working right now. We're just

1776
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: before we came on, just the second before. I remember

1777
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:43,799
Speaker 1: what it was like, and it's one of the reasons,

1778
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, guys stopped playings because you spend all your

1779
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 1: time working around this ache and this pain and this

1780
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 1: bad shoulder, this bad need, whatever, whatever. And you spend

1781
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 1: a lot of the time last year working hard, but

1782
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 1: you had to work around your rehab and now that's

1783
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: all different. Yeah, I mean it's tough. I have a

1784
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 1: lot of respect for guys that have been through injuries

1785
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 1: and done it well because it's something people don't really

1786
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 1: talk about how hard it is, and it's kind of

1787
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: a lonely journey. Even though you're you're with the team,

1788
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 1: you're kind of on the side. And I know Kyle,

1789
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: he's not here anymore, but he always helped a lot,

1790
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: and he always said. You know, at one point in

1791
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:16,640
Speaker 1: his career, he was like, he said to himself, I

1792
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 1: want to know how great I could be, how great

1793
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 1: of a career I can have if I just never quit?

1794
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:22,599
Speaker 1: And that kind of resonate with me, and I think

1795
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: it's resonate with the guys that are injured. Just how

1796
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: good can you be if you never quit and you

1797
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 1: never give up? And even though you might not see

1798
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 1: the results from all that hard work because you're on

1799
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: the side and you have nagging injuries and it's going

1800
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 1: to other places, eventually you'll kind of reput you. So

1801
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: so I gotta learned a lot from him and he'll

1802
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:40,519
Speaker 1: push me through that. And it was in a tough year.

1803
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 1: It always is for guys that go through that injury.

1804
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 1: And Kyle was speaking from experience. He had a couple

1805
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:46,560
Speaker 1: of years in the middle of his career where he

1806
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 1: had just terrible foot injuries every year, always trying to

1807
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,559
Speaker 1: come back to that. He knew what you went through

1808
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 1: last Oh yeah, he's been through it. He's been there,

1809
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 1: he's done it, so you can respect what he says.

1810
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,680
Speaker 1: So so for sure, and it wasn't as if you

1811
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 1: coasted last year. Thirteen games started ten, So you were

1812
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:03,840
Speaker 1: kind of a Steve said, getting around at fighting through it.

1813
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:05,719
Speaker 1: I would think, huh, yeah. I mean I still wanted

1814
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: to do my job and didn't want to let down

1815
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 1: the guy next to me, and we preached that, and

1816
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 1: I wanted to do my one to love and I

1817
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:12,599
Speaker 1: felt even though I was hopping along, I could still

1818
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: do my one to eleven and let Tremaine or Milan

1819
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 1: or whoever clean up behind me. So I was fighting

1820
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: for sure. And what does it feel like now, like

1821
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 1: your knee and your conditioning in your overall health, how

1822
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 1: do you feel now compared to where you were? Yeah,

1823
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's just good to be out there. I

1824
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: think I feel good. Everyone feels good. We're excited to

1825
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 1: be out there and then just to keep building every

1826
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: day really what we're doing. So it's a it's a

1827
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 1: much much better starting point for me mentally and physically,

1828
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 1: and I think being there with the guys helps a ton.

1829
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 1: There was a lot of new faces last year. Even

1830
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 1: though you know your defense ended up being a top

1831
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 1: two defense in the National Football League, it's still got

1832
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,600
Speaker 1: to make a difference with that much time and that

1833
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 1: many reps under the belt and that much familiarity with

1834
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 1: the guys around you, that much familiarity with the systems,

1835
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: that can you guys use that as a springboard. Is

1836
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: it gonna come back? Is it gonna make you an

1837
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: even better defense? In some ways, I think we can

1838
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 1: use it in the sense that we were good last year,

1839
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 1: but we left so many plays and made so many

1840
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:16,080
Speaker 1: mistakes and gave up explosives and could have had more takeaways,

1841
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,919
Speaker 1: And so I think we can use it as motivation

1842
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 1: to be excited about what we can build. But you're

1843
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: only as good as your next play, and we have

1844
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:25,759
Speaker 1: so much to prove. And I think the tape speaks

1845
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: for itself always, but we have a lot of work

1846
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 1: to do it. And I think last year, like knowing

1847
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 1: how much it was still left on the field, gives

1848
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: you excitement for the work you can put in to

1849
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 1: kind of see that come to fruition. With Bill's defensive

1850
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:43,439
Speaker 1: end Trent Murphy getting set for a second season with

1851
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, a teammate getting set for his first

1852
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: season his first round draft pick at Oliver, You've had

1853
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks of OTA's with him. What do

1854
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 1: you see so far from him's what's good about him.

1855
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,600
Speaker 1: What have you seen? Yeah, probably more than anything is

1856
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:57,600
Speaker 1: his passion and fight. I mean there's no question that

1857
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 1: he's a dog. I mean he's coming off the ball

1858
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 1: and he's fighting. I mean we almost have to break

1859
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:05,560
Speaker 1: up a fight every play because he's so passionate and

1860
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 1: wants to win and wants to be good. And I

1861
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 1: think he can be as as special as he wants

1862
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 1: to be. And he's a rookie, so I'm not gonna

1863
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: give him too much credit. He's got a long ways

1864
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 1: to go and a lot to prove, but I think

1865
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 1: he can be a tool and a and something like

1866
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 1: a sharp tool we have. Well, he's got a unique

1867
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: skill set, right, And I've been saying, just off the

1868
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 1: top of my head out here with mister Tasker, that

1869
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: he might present some opportunities to have different looks up

1870
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: front front seven with a guy like that, quick, guy

1871
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 1: like that undersized too. Yeah, definitely. I mean the more

1872
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 1: packages and variations and things Coach Frasier can throw at

1873
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 1: an offense and keep them on their toes and they

1874
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 1: don't know what we're gonna put in and these four

1875
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 1: rushed different than these four and having a player as

1876
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:48,839
Speaker 1: talented as him I mean it gives us a special

1877
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 1: package that we can work like twelve months later. I mean,

1878
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: you drafted a guy last year number one overall to

1879
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 1: sit in the middle of the defense, and Tremaine Edmonds

1880
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 1: who wasn't even well he's still you can't even have

1881
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 1: a beer with him yet, so so don't try, right, Yeah,

1882
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,599
Speaker 1: how has he evolved? And how is how do you sense?

1883
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,640
Speaker 1: You know? The Because I having a guy like that

1884
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 1: who's supposed to make all the calls and communicate with everybody,

1885
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 1: you feel like everybody has conversations with the guy. What's

1886
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:16,200
Speaker 1: different about him this year? Yeah, I mean I think

1887
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 1: confidence is sky high. Last year, I mean, new team,

1888
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:22,560
Speaker 1: new system, new role, middle linebacker, he's got to be

1889
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 1: a leader. Everyone's kind of looking to him to make

1890
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 1: those calls, and he did a great job. But I

1891
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 1: think going into year two and having that year under

1892
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:31,280
Speaker 1: his bill, he's like, all right, you know, I got

1893
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: this out. He's barking out the calls confidently and we

1894
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:35,600
Speaker 1: trust him. And I think that's a big thing. We

1895
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 1: harp on here and we all trust him up front.

1896
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:39,800
Speaker 1: If it's a wrong call, we're all gonna be wrong together.

1897
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of the biggest point. That's

1898
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 1: a foundation we're trying to lay here in Ota. So

1899
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:48,000
Speaker 1: it's it's been cool to see him evolve and grow

1900
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:49,800
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see what he can do with

1901
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 1: the defensive end. Trent Murphy, the Buffalo Bills. I wonder um. Well,

1902
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 1: we had Eddie Yarborough in here yesterday talking about how

1903
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:58,479
Speaker 1: he plans during what he got five weeks after the

1904
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: end of Mini camp before tweting came. He plans on

1905
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,639
Speaker 1: joining you and Lorenzo out in Phoenix, right a little

1906
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 1: working out out there, That's what That's what Eddie says.

1907
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:09,120
Speaker 1: He's been known to say he's gonna be in Phoenix

1908
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:12,200
Speaker 1: before and show up last time. So you work out

1909
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:14,760
Speaker 1: with Lorenzo out there. Yeah, Zoe Shack where we're out

1910
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:17,560
Speaker 1: there training and I know Zoe he might bring his

1911
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 1: family out there. And Zoe's always working, so we're trying

1912
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 1: to keep up with him and he's setting the standard.

1913
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: But it's a great place to be. It's gonna be

1914
01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:27,400
Speaker 1: like one hundred and seventeen degrees out there, so get

1915
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 1: our conditioning up in the in the desert heat, and

1916
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: hopefully Eddie shows up and works with us. We were

1917
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:35,920
Speaker 1: talking before the break. You're you're you're you're still in

1918
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: your twenties, You're you feel like I gotta feel like

1919
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 1: this is this is right in your wheelhouse or your career.

1920
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 1: And but you also said last year was probably one

1921
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,160
Speaker 1: of the most difficult years you've had to suffer through

1922
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:48,760
Speaker 1: as a as a probe, just because of the physicality

1923
01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 1: of it. You weren't you didn't feel like you were

1924
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: as up to it as you wanted to be. Is

1925
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: that going to change this year? How much of a

1926
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:57,360
Speaker 1: difference could that make for you? Yeah? I mean I've

1927
01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:59,920
Speaker 1: always had high standards for myself. I mean my family

1928
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 1: I started there. I want to make them proud and

1929
01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:04,400
Speaker 1: want to make you know, my team and coach is

1930
01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 1: proud and don't let the guy down next to me,

1931
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:08,240
Speaker 1: and I know they're going hard and what we put

1932
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 1: into is so I want to always put my best

1933
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 1: foot forward, and when that doesn't happen, I'm disappointed and

1934
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:15,600
Speaker 1: I want to work and want to get better. So

1935
01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: last year wasn't my best. I think my best is

1936
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 1: yet to come, and we're just gonna keep working and

1937
01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 1: keep working together. And I know guys like Jerry and

1938
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 1: Star and Big Jordan and all those guys inside. I mean,

1939
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 1: they're they're going to definitely push me to keep putting

1940
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,599
Speaker 1: my best foot forward. And I'm excited just to keep

1941
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 1: working and blindly and put the blinders on and hopefully

1942
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:38,840
Speaker 1: when I look up, we like where we are. First

1943
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 1: four years of your NFL career, we're spending Watchington and

1944
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 1: Washington's coming here in mid season. Does that matter to

1945
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:45,600
Speaker 1: you to get a chance to go up again your

1946
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 1: role team? It'll matter when when that week comes, And

1947
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, we have so far to go

1948
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 1: rustot as a mini camp and training camp and preseason

1949
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,800
Speaker 1: that that's a long long ways away. But I know

1950
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,160
Speaker 1: that that week could be familiar with some of those

1951
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:03,840
Speaker 1: guys and friends with some of those guys and played

1952
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: with them for four four years. It'll it'll be an

1953
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:09,800
Speaker 1: exciting week for sure, But for me it'll come down

1954
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 1: and doing my job and we'll celebrate those guys and

1955
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: hug after the game, but yeah, we'll have business to

1956
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 1: take care of. Where you are right now, OTAs, What

1957
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,640
Speaker 1: do you go into ots looking to OTAs looking to

1958
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:21,840
Speaker 1: accomplish and how's that coming? What do you hope to

1959
01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 1: get out of these ten sessions. Yeah, I mean I

1960
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:26,880
Speaker 1: think first we knock the rust off and we find

1961
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:29,720
Speaker 1: a way to kind of lay a foundation and get

1962
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 1: chemistry up front. Know you're working with learn the playbook,

1963
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:36,120
Speaker 1: and then find something to sharpen, something to get better at,

1964
01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 1: whether it's a move or your eyes or your hand

1965
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,400
Speaker 1: placement or something. You got to come out with something.

1966
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: So every day just kind of pick one thing to

1967
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 1: work on and whether that's a coaching tip or something

1968
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:49,640
Speaker 1: you're you're working on yourself, and then then you have

1969
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 1: some tools to go into training camp to sharpen kind

1970
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:54,840
Speaker 1: of even even further. So you came into these OTAs

1971
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:57,040
Speaker 1: and you know that most of the free agent signings

1972
01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:58,760
Speaker 1: and all of the draft picks, a lot of the

1973
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 1: draft picks at Oliver's side, they're all focused on the

1974
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:04,240
Speaker 1: other side of the ball. And you're sitting there, you're

1975
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: standing up in a stand up position, watching with your

1976
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 1: hand on the ground, watching what's going on the other

1977
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:11,120
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Can you see a difference, Yeah,

1978
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 1: as far as offense or defense. Offense and what those

1979
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 1: guys on the other side. You know, the offense is

1980
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,559
Speaker 1: looking like you know, you're rushing against different offensive linemen

1981
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 1: now too. They got nineteen thousand new guys over there.

1982
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean you're new faces. Yeah, definitely a lot of

1983
01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:26,840
Speaker 1: new faces. They brought in some big boys up front.

1984
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's a lot of weight, those five

1985
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 1: dudes all together that we got to run through, and

1986
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:34,840
Speaker 1: it's tough to do without without pad. So there's some

1987
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 1: tussles and everyone's working together. But some great dudes a

1988
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 1: play with Spence and tie in Washington, um, and they're

1989
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:44,800
Speaker 1: all good, smart players. So I'm excited for them to

1990
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:46,760
Speaker 1: learn to work together and excited to see what they

1991
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:48,880
Speaker 1: can do. We're talking to before anyone on the air

1992
01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 1: a year ago when you were on our show and

1993
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:53,599
Speaker 1: you were looking for a place to buy in Western

1994
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:56,040
Speaker 1: New York, and in particular looking for a place with

1995
01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 1: a suitable room to put your weights in a weight room. Yeah,

1996
01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 1: you told me you don't then anymore. Right, I don't

1997
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 1: need that anymore. They outdid me. I can't. I can't

1998
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:08,719
Speaker 1: have they just build. So I'm gonna use our facility

1999
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 1: here and that's more than I though. Right with forty

2000
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 1: five pound plates. I got rid of the forty five

2001
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 1: pound place from under my bed and put him in store.

2002
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:20,479
Speaker 1: We're okay now, Trent, thanks for the stay healthy. It's

2003
01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:22,240
Speaker 1: great to have you back. Man. Have a great thank

2004
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 1: you off season Trent Murphy, Bill's defensive end Stephen Steph

2005
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,200
Speaker 1: and I coming back for our number three. When we return,

2006
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:29,799
Speaker 1: it's One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo

2007
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. The old radio network Stories update comes from

2008
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:51,600
Speaker 1: One Bills Drive. Another day of OTAs is over in

2009
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:53,840
Speaker 1: the books, five down, five to go, and then the

2010
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 1: Bills get into a three day mandatory mini camp in

2011
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 1: the middle of June. Practice ended in the last half

2012
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:01,160
Speaker 1: hour or so. The Bills to have just a conditioning

2013
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 1: day back in the OTA mode. On Friday, around the league,

2014
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:06,519
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl quarterback Chris Harris as a new deal with

2015
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:09,640
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. He told the Broncos earlier this offseason

2016
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:11,479
Speaker 1: he wanted to be traded if he didn't get a

2017
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 1: new contract. Last night, the Broncos confirmed at Harris will

2018
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 1: get twelve million dollars this season. He was scheduled to

2019
01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:19,800
Speaker 1: get nine million. It wasn't the longer term deal that

2020
01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 1: Harris wanted, but it keeps him in the fold with

2021
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:25,679
Speaker 1: the Broncos for at least another year. NFLPA Executive director

2022
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 1: DeMar Smith sent a letter to all agents yesterday asking

2023
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:31,720
Speaker 1: them to encourage their players to save money in the

2024
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 1: event of a work stoppage in twenty twenty one. We

2025
01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:36,360
Speaker 1: are advising players to plan for a work stoppage of

2026
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 1: at least a year in length. That letter said, Stanley

01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 1: team tasker. It's One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive. Steve,

2044
01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 1: nine o'clock tip. Wow, what's that going to do to

2045
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 1: the killing me the infirm and elderly like us? I

2046
01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:42,640
Speaker 1: was gonna see you, it's gonna look. I want to

2047
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:44,559
Speaker 1: watch the finals. I've tried to watch playoffs till now.

2048
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: I want to watch the finals. But nine o'clock tipoff

2049
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 1: means the game ends at what midnight? Twelve fifteen. I'll

2050
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:51,960
Speaker 1: be a mess, Steve. I will share me for a

2051
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,840
Speaker 1: week or two. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'll tell you,

2052
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm with you this. I will say this

2053
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:01,559
Speaker 1: on behalf of the NBA, which we have no skin

2054
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 1: in that game. It's been a really good playoff. Yeah,

2055
01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 1: it's been a really good year for NBA playoffs. There's

2056
01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:13,760
Speaker 1: been compelling storylines, there's been great games, there's been absolute

2057
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 1: buzzer beaters. It's been phenomenal, and you got stars on

2058
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:22,160
Speaker 1: all these teams. That you really want to watch. I

2059
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 1: think the NBA for me, and I'm a casual fan,

2060
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:29,519
Speaker 1: the most casual of fans. I think it's been a

2061
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 1: real boost for their popularity these last this last year

2062
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:35,920
Speaker 1: of playoff basketball, and doesn't say much for the regular season.

2063
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:40,560
Speaker 1: But I want to watch it. I probably will watch it,

2064
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 1: probably exhausted. Hey, we want to get you involved in

2065
01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:46,439
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll. What are your expectations for Josh Allen

2066
01:38:46,479 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 1: in his second season? Give us a call, we'll discuss

2067
01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 1: eight oh three five fifty or toll free one eight

2068
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:54,600
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty, or you can

2069
01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 1: send it a tweet. We would read it on the

2070
01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:58,000
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. We got a lot to talk about this hour,

2071
01:38:58,080 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: but a lot of time for you to discuss with

2072
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 1: your expectations for Josh Allen in his second year. What

2073
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:06,160
Speaker 1: do you think. Let's go to Jim in Lakeview. Hello, Jim, Welcome,

2074
01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:08,600
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us. Yeah, hi, guys. You know,

2075
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 1: my expectations for Josh Ellen are that he's gonna be

2076
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:14,760
Speaker 1: much much better than he was last year. But I'd

2077
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 1: make this point a couple of points even if he

2078
01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:20,679
Speaker 1: plays just as well as he did the last five

2079
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 1: games of the season last year, that would be good

2080
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:26,280
Speaker 1: enough to propel the Bills to a playoff spot. I

2081
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:29,000
Speaker 1: think people underrate just how good he was. And there's

2082
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 1: a couple of things that really stood out. I mean,

2083
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:34,000
Speaker 1: everybody knows about the rocket arm, but my goodness, he's

2084
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,120
Speaker 1: got the quickest release I've seen since San Marino. But

2085
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:40,760
Speaker 1: the more important thing I saw about him and why

2086
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm so optimistic about his future, is the rare ability

2087
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 1: of him to elevate the players around him. I look

2088
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 1: at Robert Foster, right, Robert Foster was on drafted, was

2089
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 1: cut by the Bills, put on this practice squad, cut again,

2090
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 1: and brought back. But by the end of the year

2091
01:39:57,520 --> 01:39:59,640
Speaker 1: he was one of the top rated receivers in Pro

2092
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:05,400
Speaker 1: Book Well Focus, averaging over twenty yards a catch. Now,

2093
01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 1: there's two possibilities about that. Everybody overlooked this gem who

2094
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 1: turns out who turns out to be the second coming

2095
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 1: of Julio Jones, or the quarterback really elevated the play

2096
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,880
Speaker 1: of a pretty good player. And I think that speaks

2097
01:40:22,040 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 1: volumes or where Josh Allan is going, because I think

2098
01:40:25,439 --> 01:40:27,560
Speaker 1: it's rare for a quarterback to elevated players like that

2099
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:30,040
Speaker 1: Brady certainly does. The only thing I would the only

2100
01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:32,600
Speaker 1: nitpick point I would make, I guess you, guys, is

2101
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 1: certainly in the long run, Josh Ellen or any quarterback

2102
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:40,400
Speaker 1: has to be rated or has to be evaluated by wins.

2103
01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 1: But in the short term, and I'm not sure that's true.

2104
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 1: For example, when you look at the last four years,

2105
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:47,920
Speaker 1: he had two Hall of Fame quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and

2106
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:51,280
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, who actually played the whole season on teams

2107
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:53,680
Speaker 1: that finished less than five hundreds. So you know, if

2108
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 1: Josh doesn't have a lot of wins next year and

2109
01:40:55,920 --> 01:41:00,320
Speaker 1: next years, I'm not gonna lay that solely on his shoulder.

2110
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 1: It's a team game, and even Hall of famers can't

2111
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 1: elevate their teams sometimes. But you know, all the futures

2112
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:08,760
Speaker 1: bright and I expect great things out of him this

2113
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:11,920
Speaker 1: year and many years to come. All right, Thanks Jim.

2114
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: Jim made a lot of good points, so Steve, including

2115
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's last was it six or five games when

2116
01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:20,760
Speaker 1: he came back, six games when he came back after

2117
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 1: his injury, where he had just ended it up two

2118
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:28,960
Speaker 1: six seven interceptions against eight touchdowns, so he was he

2119
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 1: had his head above water touchdown to interception ratio when

2120
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: he came back from injury eight touchdowns, seven interceptions, completion

2121
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,760
Speaker 1: percentage still around mid fifties at Bessie had the great

2122
01:41:37,800 --> 01:41:39,919
Speaker 1: game at the end of the year been completion percentage

2123
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:42,320
Speaker 1: wise against the Dolphins. We've talked about that a lot,

2124
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,679
Speaker 1: how it was a different approach for him, an approach

2125
01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:46,640
Speaker 1: that we may see more of this year, you know,

2126
01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 1: using the checkdown receivers, throwing underneath the coverage. He may

2127
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:51,720
Speaker 1: do that more this year. But Jim is right, he

2128
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 1: got bet and we've said this a lot on the show.

2129
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 1: Josh got better virtually week to week during the course

2130
01:41:57,439 --> 01:41:59,479
Speaker 1: of last season, which bodes well I think for this year.

2131
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 1: I agree, And we've had other callers come on and

2132
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, you want and we're all trying

2133
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 1: to describe this, what's it gonna look like? And you

2134
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 1: can't do it really with statistics because we can cite others,

2135
01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, the players who had better statistics than that,

2136
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 1: and they didn't win, you know, and it wasn't the

2137
01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:16,200
Speaker 1: quarterback when I think I like what he said, you know,

2138
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:19,840
Speaker 1: the caller said about him elevating the guys around him.

2139
01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that he did. And I've been talking

2140
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 1: about this off and on and during the breaks, drink

2141
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:26,720
Speaker 1: all day. Today, I go back to that Miami game.

2142
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:28,640
Speaker 1: In Miami, we're the last play of the game. We

2143
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:31,479
Speaker 1: can't catch that ball on the goal line. If you

2144
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 1: win that, if you catch that ball, then all of

2145
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:36,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're seven and nine, right, because that's a win.

2146
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:38,720
Speaker 1: It's the last play of the game and he's he's

2147
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 1: in the end zone. And there's another highlight that they've

2148
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: been shown back in the control from the some of

2149
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 1: you've been seeing who are watching on MSG in the

2150
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 1: Houston Texans game down in Houston. It's the game at

2151
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:50,600
Speaker 1: the end of the game when our defense was on.

2152
01:42:50,640 --> 01:42:53,320
Speaker 1: It's actually a Trent Murphy highlight where he knocks the

2153
01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 1: ball out of Deshaun Watson's hands and it's loose. If

2154
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:01,200
Speaker 1: the Bills and there's a little scramble for the ball

2155
01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 1: and the Texans get it back. If the Bills cover

2156
01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 1: that fumble up, that's in the last two minutes the game.

2157
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:07,800
Speaker 1: The Bills offense comes up, kneels down, that's a win.

2158
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 1: You're two bounces of your two plays away in that

2159
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:14,200
Speaker 1: season from getting two more wins on a team that

2160
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:18,280
Speaker 1: was horrific on offense with the worst offensive line in

2161
01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, with no running game and a defense that

2162
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:24,840
Speaker 1: was never playing it against an offense that was absolutely

2163
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:27,080
Speaker 1: desperate like they were in that Houston game where they

2164
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 1: almost caused that turnover, which they you know, the kind

2165
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:32,160
Speaker 1: of play they made two years ago when these other

2166
01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 1: teams had to score some points to try and stay

2167
01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 1: in the game with where they felt compelled to air

2168
01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:39,160
Speaker 1: it out a little bit. This defense was stellar in

2169
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:43,360
Speaker 1: that regard last year. Those two plays put this team

2170
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:49,240
Speaker 1: from six and ten to eight and eight. That is different,

2171
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:52,600
Speaker 1: that puts a different shine, But you can't disapplain you

2172
01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: are what you are. You're six and ten. But for me,

2173
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 1: that speaks of a team that is not that far

2174
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:02,000
Speaker 1: away and wasn't that far away twelve months ago when

2175
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 1: they had a bad offense with a rookie quarterback who

2176
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:09,880
Speaker 1: was just trying to tread water, and certainly he had

2177
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:11,680
Speaker 1: a lot of a billion, a lot of upside. But

2178
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:14,640
Speaker 1: that's two plays that make this team into an eight

2179
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:17,840
Speaker 1: and eight squad and had nothing to do with the

2180
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:20,240
Speaker 1: starting quarterback where he made the throw that should have

2181
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:22,639
Speaker 1: been caught in the end zone by by Charles Clay

2182
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 1: and then the one where the defense just missed on

2183
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:27,880
Speaker 1: a fumble recovery that would have put a game away

2184
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 1: that they ended up losing in Houston. All of that

2185
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:34,640
Speaker 1: stuff's being said, do you know that changes it for

2186
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:36,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people? For me included, because this is

2187
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:39,240
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't seem to be that far away

2188
01:44:39,439 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: from taking another step and another step. If they're that

2189
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:44,720
Speaker 1: team that I'm describing a year ago where they're eight

2190
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 1: and eight instead of six and ten and they take

2191
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 1: another step, where does that take him for you? Right? Yeah,

2192
01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't take it to nine and seven. It takes

2193
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 1: you to ten and six, eleven and five, twelve and four.

2194
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 1: You're getting yourself right, I mean, that's what you're talking about,

2195
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 1: that that's what the league is. You're right, But this

2196
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:07,519
Speaker 1: is it's the league where the bounce of the ball

2197
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:09,920
Speaker 1: says a lot about what you are to a lot

2198
01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:12,360
Speaker 1: of people. When it's the bounce of the ball that

2199
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 1: nobody has any control over you or your opponent. So

2200
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 1: you can make that evaluation if you want, But to me,

2201
01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:23,080
Speaker 1: it's about what you do all the time and about

2202
01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:24,880
Speaker 1: the guys who you know in your locker room and

2203
01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 1: what you're you know what you can control. And I

2204
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 1: think everything in this organization from this new weight room

2205
01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:33,839
Speaker 1: to the draft, to the way they handle free agency,

2206
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:36,680
Speaker 1: to the way they handle their contract negotiations, to the

2207
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:39,840
Speaker 1: way they handle their team building exercises out here, to

2208
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 1: the staff they have behind the scenes. I can't find

2209
01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 1: anything to throw a dart out right, And I know

2210
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:48,880
Speaker 1: they you know, I know it's not gonna They're not

2211
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:51,200
Speaker 1: gonna go sixteen and oz And then you know, Josh

2212
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:53,879
Speaker 1: Allen's not gonna throw for five thousand yards fifty touchdowns

2213
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:55,559
Speaker 1: in twelve hund or seven. It's not going to happen

2214
01:45:55,640 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 1: because yeah, the other teams are on scholarship too. Yeah,

2215
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:03,200
Speaker 1: but I you and I and part of part of

2216
01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 1: our deal is here's to do this. I'm here to

2217
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, tell you what's right about it. And they're

2218
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:11,439
Speaker 1: getting a lot of stuff right, but they still gotta

2219
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:13,439
Speaker 1: it comes down to proving it. YEA, with a lot

2220
01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:15,320
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, what was our Twitter poll? What do

2221
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:16,960
Speaker 1: you what do you lay awake? And I ain't worry

2222
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:18,880
Speaker 1: about remember, Yeah, what keeps you awake at night? Yeah,

2223
01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:21,639
Speaker 1: that's a good question. It isn't a good question. Stuff

2224
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 1: we have you want me to go through it now?

2225
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean, no, we're talking about Josh. But here's the

2226
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:31,760
Speaker 1: way you're missing. Yeah, it's only because some of the

2227
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 1: stuff that got is unproven. It's not because the problems

2228
01:46:34,240 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 1: were not addressed. They have addressed virtually naming something has

2229
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:40,920
Speaker 1: not been addressed. That's my really, But the question what

2230
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:44,280
Speaker 1: has not been Addressing problems and solving problems two different things, right,

2231
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,960
Speaker 1: But that's what they're doing. They've really taken steps towards

2232
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 1: solving every problem that we were sitting here lamenting through

2233
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: four months of the season last year. What are your expectation?

2234
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:56,360
Speaker 1: I get you. I know you don't have a huge

2235
01:46:56,479 --> 01:47:01,920
Speaker 1: You get me, Murph, And I appreciate that you because

2236
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 1: I went on for a minute there. I'm sorry. You've

2237
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:06,280
Speaker 1: got you got John going crazy, Josh Allen, your expectations?

2238
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:07,760
Speaker 1: What do you have for him in the second year

2239
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:09,840
Speaker 1: on the line is John? John? Go ahead, you're on

2240
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:12,240
Speaker 1: the air with us. Yeah. You know what, I wish

2241
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:17,680
Speaker 1: the NFL would get rid of that stupid instant replays

2242
01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 1: because the officials they just keep going over and over

2243
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:26,280
Speaker 1: on the plate. You know, I know I've said that

2244
01:47:26,320 --> 01:47:29,320
Speaker 1: a lot and people laugh. I think it's much more

2245
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 1: realistic than the tasker rule. But people laugh at me. Well,

2246
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:33,439
Speaker 1: we both had a call or call in. I was

2247
01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:36,160
Speaker 1: just gonna say that, Well, go ahead, go ahead, John,

2248
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 1: finish your point. It's you know, it's a man's game.

2249
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:44,960
Speaker 1: It's a brutal sport. Let them play. They hit each other,

2250
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:48,839
Speaker 1: they bang each other, and the other thing. I'm granting

2251
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:53,000
Speaker 1: Richie incognito. It's back in the NFL. He signed with

2252
01:47:53,160 --> 01:48:00,360
Speaker 1: the Oakland Writers. A nasty glare. All right, thank John.

2253
01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:02,599
Speaker 1: Here's Mike and West Virginia. He's gonna move on right

2254
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:05,559
Speaker 1: in mind, Mike and West Virginia. That's how you get

2255
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:09,400
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. Pay attention, believing. And I

2256
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:12,320
Speaker 1: heard Steve talking about how the Bills we're only a

2257
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:15,280
Speaker 1: couple of bounces away from actually being seventy nine or

2258
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 1: eight and eight. And one are those points that I

2259
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:20,800
Speaker 1: want to refuse, is that we had three games that

2260
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 1: we could have lost, that we should have lost. We

2261
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:28,320
Speaker 1: would beat Tennessee by one point. We lose the Jacksonville

2262
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:31,000
Speaker 1: over the Leonard Fournet and they missed the field though,

2263
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:34,120
Speaker 1: and we beat Detroit by a point, so well, how

2264
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 1: should they have lost? Just because you win by a

2265
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 1: point doesn't mean you should have lost. That's a very

2266
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:42,560
Speaker 1: good point as well, John. But those games could have

2267
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 1: win either way. That's the league. That's what I was

2268
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:47,120
Speaker 1: saying to Steve, and that's what I'm gonna say to you, Mike.

2269
01:48:47,200 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 1: That's the league. They're all closed. Here's the thing, and

2270
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 1: here's the point, Mike, And see if you can stick

2271
01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:52,320
Speaker 1: with me for this, and then I want you to

2272
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:56,000
Speaker 1: reply to it. So hang on that it is the league.

2273
01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:59,479
Speaker 1: But I think like the two bounces that I described

2274
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:01,519
Speaker 1: to make this into mega an eight and eight squad,

2275
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:03,960
Speaker 1: and the two and the three plays or four plays

2276
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:05,720
Speaker 1: that you describe that could have made this into a

2277
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:09,360
Speaker 1: one and fifteen team, the truth is in there somewhere.

2278
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:11,760
Speaker 1: Where is it? And where do you do you think

2279
01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:13,680
Speaker 1: they're closer to the eight and eight squad that that

2280
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned, or do you think they're closer to the

2281
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:20,599
Speaker 1: one and sixteen squad that you describe? My great question, Steve,

2282
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:22,479
Speaker 1: and I listened to the guys in the afternoon as

2283
01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:25,360
Speaker 1: well as your and what Mike says all the time

2284
01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:28,840
Speaker 1: is that there's not really much difference between a six

2285
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,799
Speaker 1: and ten team and the nine and seventeen who sneaks

2286
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:35,920
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. I believe that that's true. And so

2287
01:49:36,360 --> 01:49:38,679
Speaker 1: you know, it's just the bounces man, Like you guys said,

2288
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:40,640
Speaker 1: that's that's the way the league goes. And thanks for

2289
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:43,320
Speaker 1: taking my car. Okay, you bet. I agree with you, Mike.

2290
01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:45,200
Speaker 1: It is and I'll tell you and this is something

2291
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 1: that my old coach, Marv Levey told us when when

2292
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,840
Speaker 1: we're trying to you're in the you know, the dog

2293
01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:52,560
Speaker 1: days of training camp, and you're in a in a

2294
01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 1: season that's going well or well or bad, or you're

2295
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:58,439
Speaker 1: in a tough spot, and you're trying to get your

2296
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 1: team to do the things right, the details. You're trying

2297
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:03,479
Speaker 1: to get them to recommit themselves, and you're trying to

2298
01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 1: come up big. He said. Listen, he goes to guys,

2299
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 1: and he pointed this out twenty five thirty years ago.

2300
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 1: So listen to the difference between the best teams in

2301
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:15,200
Speaker 1: the National Football League and the worst teams in the

2302
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 1: National Football League in total is probably two percent of

2303
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:22,920
Speaker 1: the one hundred percent of everything these NFL teams do.

2304
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:26,320
Speaker 1: There's a two percent difference between the number one team

2305
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 1: and the number thirty two team, there's a two percent difference.

2306
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:31,920
Speaker 1: But then he said this, He goes listen that two

2307
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:34,480
Speaker 1: and this is where it gets kind of marv alleviation.

2308
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:39,679
Speaker 1: He said that two percent is still one hundred percent

2309
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 1: of the difference. You've got to do that two percent.

2310
01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:45,799
Speaker 1: You've got to put everything into that. The difference between

2311
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 1: the best teams and the worst teams. There is a difference,

2312
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 1: and you've got to make the difference in your two

2313
01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 1: percent to get there. And that means the details. That

2314
01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 1: means the bounce of the ball. That means the hand

2315
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:00,200
Speaker 1: position on a pass play, that means an extra be

2316
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:03,000
Speaker 1: an extra step on a pass route. It means all

2317
01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:07,960
Speaker 1: those billions of details that you're responsible for within your job,

2318
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 1: and you trust that your teammate is they're doing his

2319
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:14,439
Speaker 1: and you're helping him and he's helping you. There's just

2320
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:16,840
Speaker 1: not that much difference. And that was that, guess the

2321
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:18,519
Speaker 1: point we were headed down with this bounce of the

2322
01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:20,559
Speaker 1: ball making him eight and eight instead of six and ten,

2323
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 1: and a couple of other bounces, a missfield goal here,

2324
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 1: a missfield goal there, and now they're two and fourteen,

2325
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 1: they're one and fifteen or three and thirteen instead of

2326
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:33,160
Speaker 1: six and ten. It's just not that big a difference,

2327
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:36,760
Speaker 1: but the difference is there, and I think a lot

2328
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 1: of the differences are systemic. They're organizational, they're mindset oriented,

2329
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 1: not just the fact that one guy makes a drop

2330
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:49,120
Speaker 1: here or a pass there. We're talking about John Shannon

2331
01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:50,600
Speaker 1: today and we want to hear from you. What are

2332
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:53,920
Speaker 1: your expectations for Josh going into his second season in

2333
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:55,600
Speaker 1: the league. Let's get back to the tweet sheet for

2334
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:58,559
Speaker 1: a minute. Tweet sheet brought to you by Carrigan Moving Systems,

2335
01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:01,639
Speaker 1: the official movers the Buffalo Bills. From the tweet sheet

2336
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:04,680
Speaker 1: from Bernie, I expect he'll be much better than last year.

2337
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:07,360
Speaker 1: He'll get more protection from the offensive line that will

2338
01:52:07,400 --> 01:52:10,479
Speaker 1: translate into better decisions. With shady back in form plus

2339
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:13,320
Speaker 1: new wide receiver talent, the opposing defenses will have to

2340
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:15,840
Speaker 1: respect the entire Bill's offense. That's a really good point

2341
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:17,800
Speaker 1: by Bernie. Something that you know. We put up the

2342
01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:21,679
Speaker 1: stats for all the prominent younger quarterbacks in their second

2343
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:24,960
Speaker 1: year and talked about how would Josh compared to this. Yeah,

2344
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: that stat there you might see if you're watching on MSG.

2345
01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 1: The one thing that stat doesn't show, doesn't measure is

2346
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:32,280
Speaker 1: who they playing with. Did they get better? Did they

2347
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 1: get different personnel? Better personnel? In the quarterback second year,

2348
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:38,439
Speaker 1: you could argue, I think pretty convincingly as Bernie did

2349
01:52:38,520 --> 01:52:41,559
Speaker 1: that now Josh Allen has gonna have a better offensive line,

2350
01:52:41,800 --> 01:52:44,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a better wide receiver talent, much better

2351
01:52:44,960 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver talent than he had a year ago. And

2352
01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:49,240
Speaker 1: that is not measured when you look at those five

2353
01:52:49,320 --> 01:52:52,360
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks second year in the league. And that's gonna

2354
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:54,200
Speaker 1: make a difference the people around him. For Josh, I

2355
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:56,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna make a big difference for him. I

2356
01:52:56,120 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 1: think so too. And I think one of the things

2357
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 1: also that was in Bernie's tweet was the fact that

2358
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:04,760
Speaker 1: Leshawn h you know, Shady's back in form. I don't

2359
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:07,000
Speaker 1: think it's just It's not just about Leshaw McCoy being

2360
01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:09,320
Speaker 1: back in form. I think it's Leshaun McCoy and Frank

2361
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:13,120
Speaker 1: Gore having something left in the tank and maybe something

2362
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:16,240
Speaker 1: to prove. I think you gotta think about it, Leshawn McCoy,

2363
01:53:17,640 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 1: think about what he has seen people say about and

2364
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 1: heard people say about him all this offseason. He's finished,

2365
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 1: he didn't have it. He's not he doesn't have anything

2366
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:29,280
Speaker 1: left in the tank. Um, he's over the hill. He's overpaid.

2367
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,160
Speaker 1: And there's a bunch of articles on the internet saying, hey,

2368
01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:35,880
Speaker 1: the Bills should trade Leshaun McCoy, he's you know, should

2369
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:39,960
Speaker 1: get something for him, and then they hire Frank Gore, who,

2370
01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 1: by the way, that the two guys are pretty good buddies.

2371
01:53:43,360 --> 01:53:45,560
Speaker 1: I think Lashawn McCoy's got as big a chip on

2372
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:47,200
Speaker 1: it should have as big a chip on his shoulders

2373
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:49,960
Speaker 1: anybody on the roster. He's the one that's got something

2374
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:53,000
Speaker 1: to prove to people who about the kind of back

2375
01:53:53,120 --> 01:53:56,720
Speaker 1: he is and about what what last year was. It

2376
01:53:56,880 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 1: wasn't about him, It's about everybody around him. It's about

2377
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:02,240
Speaker 1: the offensive line be getting some help. I think he's

2378
01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:03,880
Speaker 1: going to have a chip on his shoulder as well.

2379
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:06,840
Speaker 1: And don't forget this either. This is a guy that

2380
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:10,439
Speaker 1: has I think he has real aspirations of getting to

2381
01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:14,560
Speaker 1: the twelve thousand yard mark in his career, and he

2382
01:54:14,680 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 1: needs a lot of help to do it because it

2383
01:54:16,200 --> 01:54:18,120
Speaker 1: means something for a future, for the Hall of Fame,

2384
01:54:18,479 --> 01:54:21,280
Speaker 1: for his legacy as a professional football player, and for

2385
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:23,200
Speaker 1: what he did here in Buffalo. I think he's got

2386
01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:25,000
Speaker 1: a huge chip on his shoulder and something to prove,

2387
01:54:25,439 --> 01:54:27,519
Speaker 1: and I think that's a good place for Bill's fans

2388
01:54:27,560 --> 01:54:29,959
Speaker 1: to think about him being in. I continue this discussion

2389

Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health from One Bill's Drive.

2408
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 1: And this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back, One Bills Live.

2409
01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:43,760
Speaker 1: And now we're short on time, so let's get into

2410
01:55:43,800 --> 01:55:45,840
Speaker 1: some stuff here, including our topic of the day, which

2411
01:55:46,200 --> 01:55:49,040
Speaker 1: has taken off like a rocket. What are your expectations

2412
01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:51,720
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen in his sophomore season sending a tweet?

2413
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:53,720
Speaker 1: We might read it on the tweet sheet. Give us

2414
01:55:53,720 --> 01:55:55,640
Speaker 1: a call. We think we got the phones working now

2415
01:55:55,720 --> 01:55:58,440
Speaker 1: eight h three oh five fifty or outside Buffalo toll

2416
01:55:58,480 --> 01:56:02,040
Speaker 1: free at one eight eight eight fifty two fifty. We'll

2417
01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:03,280
Speaker 1: get back to that in a moment. See if I

2418
01:56:03,320 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 1: want to talk Richie incognito. We talked about that yesterday.

2419
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:08,680
Speaker 1: We both agreed yesterday how good we felt about Richie

2420
01:56:08,720 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 1: getting a second chance. Right we do? And Pete Prisco

2421
01:56:11,320 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: mentioned it too. He could be a fit for what

2422
01:56:13,400 --> 01:56:15,640
Speaker 1: they're doing out there in Oakland. Did you see the tweet?

2423
01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:17,000
Speaker 1: You may have put it on my desk, or maybe

2424
01:56:17,080 --> 01:56:19,800
Speaker 1: our producer Jade. Somebody had a tweet about they think

2425
01:56:20,160 --> 01:56:23,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders have signed Richie Incognito just for the training camp,

2426
01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:27,160
Speaker 1: just to toughen up the Oakland Raiders offensive lines. Kim

2427
01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 1: a little spice and training. Richie can play. He's not

2428
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 1: just a thug. Even when Prisco said, Richie after the

2429
01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 1: snap is fun to watch, you know what, Richie during

2430
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:37,720
Speaker 1: the play was fun to watch. He had three good

2431
01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:40,320
Speaker 1: years here, three Pro Bowl years here with the Buffalo Bills.

2432
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:41,760
Speaker 1: He was a pretty good offense. It's a very good

2433
01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:45,400
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. And I think it remains to me seeing

2434
01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:46,920
Speaker 1: if he's got some stuff left in the tank he

2435
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:49,320
Speaker 1: comes back and plays like he did, then there's absolutely

2436
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:51,080
Speaker 1: no question the Raiders are gonna be better for that,

2437
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:55,000
Speaker 1: because the guy could play. When he was on here,

2438
01:56:55,120 --> 01:56:57,760
Speaker 1: he was don't forget it was. He was very well

2439
01:56:57,840 --> 01:56:59,960
Speaker 1: liked in this locker room, despite what happened to him

2440
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:04,120
Speaker 1: in Miami. But there's no question he's got some demons.

2441
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:05,600
Speaker 1: He has to deal with it. He deals with all

2442
01:57:05,600 --> 01:57:08,320
Speaker 1: the time, mental health issues when he goes off the

2443
01:57:08,440 --> 01:57:10,800
Speaker 1: rails once in a while. And I think the structure

2444
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:13,760
Speaker 1: of being on a team, at least the one here

2445
01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:15,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, and the culture they were trying to build

2446
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:19,840
Speaker 1: there when Richie was here kept him on the straight

2447
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:21,800
Speaker 1: and narrow. They helped him a lot. I think that

2448
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:24,120
Speaker 1: the atmosphere and the work ethic here. I don't know

2449
01:57:24,480 --> 01:57:26,920
Speaker 1: how it is in Oakland. You got guys like Vontz

2450
01:57:27,040 --> 01:57:29,400
Speaker 1: Berfect out there, you got Antonio Brown out there. I

2451
01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:32,960
Speaker 1: don't know that the same culture is already built there

2452
01:57:33,080 --> 01:57:34,520
Speaker 1: that it is here, or even if they're trying to

2453
01:57:34,560 --> 01:57:36,520
Speaker 1: build that there. But I know that that's one of

2454
01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:38,480
Speaker 1: the things that allowed Richie to play as well as

2455
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:41,640
Speaker 1: he did, was the locker room that existed here. And

2456
01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, you hope for like you, I hope the

2457
01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 1: best for the guy. Mike Mayock is the new Raiders,

2458
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:49,320
Speaker 1: a general manager, the guy who actually acted and signed

2459
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:52,840
Speaker 1: Richie Incognito yesterday to the Raiders roster, and he was asked,

2460
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:56,120
Speaker 1: why take a chance on Richie Incognito with his background.

2461
01:57:56,320 --> 01:58:01,120
Speaker 1: Here's what the Raiders to him. Mike Mayock said, whenever

2462
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:04,200
Speaker 1: he's been focused on activities solely on the field, he's

2463
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:07,960
Speaker 1: been fine, and we've done a one year prove it

2464
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:10,200
Speaker 1: deal with him and prove it means both on and

2465
01:58:10,400 --> 01:58:13,560
Speaker 1: off the field. Okay, there's some expectations he's got to

2466
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:16,040
Speaker 1: meet in both areas. He turns thirty six in July.

2467
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:18,800
Speaker 1: We think he's going to be a good football player

2468
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:21,040
Speaker 1: and allow us allow himself to compete for the left

2469
01:58:21,080 --> 01:58:24,520
Speaker 1: guard job. And just as importantly, he's got to prove

2470
01:58:24,560 --> 01:58:27,680
Speaker 1: it off the field. What assurances did you get from

2471
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:30,440
Speaker 1: him or his agent ahead of time that he would

2472
01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 1: be able to prove on this, that he would be

2473
01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:34,360
Speaker 1: able to be able to prove himself on and off

2474
01:58:34,400 --> 01:58:37,680
Speaker 1: the field. Well, we've done a lot of homework on him, Okay.

2475
01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 1: I've known some of the line coaches he's played for

2476
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:44,600
Speaker 1: several of his stops. I've called several people around the league.

2477
01:58:45,520 --> 01:58:48,600
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable that he's going to compete on the field,

2478
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:52,440
Speaker 1: and I feel comfortable that a he wants to compete

2479
01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:55,400
Speaker 1: off the field, and we're going to provide the infrastructure

2480
01:58:55,440 --> 01:58:57,480
Speaker 1: for him. So at the end of the day, I

2481
01:58:57,520 --> 01:58:59,040
Speaker 1: think it's a two way street. We got to help

2482
01:58:59,120 --> 01:59:01,680
Speaker 1: him help himself. Man I answered that the best. I

2483
01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:05,240
Speaker 1: don't get that question. What assurances have you received? What

2484
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:07,200
Speaker 1: difference does that mean? Of course, the agent is going

2485
01:59:07,240 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 1: to say, we we assure you Richie is fine, He's

2486
01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:12,160
Speaker 1: not going to act up right, and I think he

2487
01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:14,320
Speaker 1: probably is going to be fine. But what DIFA does

2488
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:15,720
Speaker 1: it make? How many assurance you canna have all the

2489
01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 1: assurances you want? Right, people do stuff. Yeah, and Richie,

2490
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:21,560
Speaker 1: I think we'll be able to handle this because he

2491
01:59:21,640 --> 01:59:23,320
Speaker 1: has in the past. He did it here. He was

2492
01:59:23,400 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 1: in much more dire straits when he signed here four

2493
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:28,440
Speaker 1: years ago. Right coming up, nobody want off the field,

2494
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:30,760
Speaker 1: nobody wanted to touch him. Nobody wanted to touch him.

2495
01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:34,520
Speaker 1: And because of the bullying scandal that happened in Miami,

2496
01:59:35,240 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 1: and it's it's funny, not funny, it's tragic. Actually, I'm

2497
01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:42,440
Speaker 1: not saying funny funny, haha, I'm saying funny kind of strange.

2498
01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:46,880
Speaker 1: It was tragic what happened in Miami because even Jonathan

2499
01:59:46,920 --> 01:59:49,480
Speaker 1: Martin and subsequent has had issues as well. So you

2500
01:59:49,560 --> 01:59:52,280
Speaker 1: got two guys with that kind of issues at a

2501
01:59:52,360 --> 01:59:55,080
Speaker 1: conflict in that locker room and it blew up in

2502
01:59:55,160 --> 01:59:59,200
Speaker 1: their face. And rightfully, so nobody can anticipate that. I

2503
01:59:59,320 --> 02:00:02,000
Speaker 1: had never seen something like that before in the NFL,

2504
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:04,360
Speaker 1: and yet there it was, and it blew up in Miami.

2505
02:00:04,880 --> 02:00:07,120
Speaker 1: I think ultimately it cost Joe Philbin the head coaching

2506
02:00:07,200 --> 02:00:11,080
Speaker 1: job there in Miami was in a contributing factor, and

2507
02:00:11,240 --> 02:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Richie Incognito was out of football for a year and

2508
02:00:13,680 --> 02:00:16,920
Speaker 1: a half. Jonathan Martin has yet to play anywhere he's done.

2509
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:21,320
Speaker 1: So it was two guys with some issues coming together

2510
02:00:21,560 --> 02:00:25,440
Speaker 1: in a conflict that still, I think to this day

2511
02:00:25,480 --> 02:00:28,120
Speaker 1: affects the perception about both of them. Yep, Hey, back

2512
02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:30,280
Speaker 1: to our topic of the day. Josh Allen after his

2513
02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:34,000
Speaker 1: remarkable OTA performance yesterday that neither one of us saw,

2514
02:00:35,080 --> 02:00:37,920
Speaker 1: we were told about, we were told I've been told no,

2515
02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean it was otash and we've talked about that

2516
02:00:40,560 --> 02:00:42,240
Speaker 1: a lot. Kind of took us to our topic of

2517
02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:45,320
Speaker 1: the day. Your expectations for Josh Allen in his second season.

2518
02:00:45,600 --> 02:00:47,040
Speaker 1: Jim is on the line with the thought on that

2519
02:00:47,160 --> 02:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Jim go ahead his buffalo, Jeff, yes, bangor yes there

2520
02:00:53,040 --> 02:00:57,240
Speaker 1: you go. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm I'm obviously against the

2521
02:00:57,400 --> 02:01:00,960
Speaker 1: enemy up here, and I've been following you guys for

2522
02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:04,840
Speaker 1: a while, and I really think Josh Allen gotta pump

2523
02:01:04,920 --> 02:01:06,880
Speaker 1: the brakes a little because there's gonna be tape on

2524
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:10,040
Speaker 1: him now. And you got this evil coach up here

2525
02:01:10,080 --> 02:01:15,200
Speaker 1: in New England and watch tape and change the way

2526
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:18,080
Speaker 1: people act on the field just by watching so much

2527
02:01:18,160 --> 02:01:22,720
Speaker 1: tape on him. Obviously, the offensive line is gonna be

2528
02:01:23,360 --> 02:01:27,200
Speaker 1: I think the biggest factor. You go back three years ago,

2529
02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:30,640
Speaker 1: put the names of the offensive line, and then you

2530
02:01:30,720 --> 02:01:32,520
Speaker 1: go last year and put the names and see what

2531
02:01:32,640 --> 02:01:35,000
Speaker 1: the difference is. Now, let's see what this year is

2532
02:01:35,040 --> 02:01:38,000
Speaker 1: gonna be and what teck the line so he can

2533
02:01:38,200 --> 02:01:44,320
Speaker 1: use all the the arsenal that he's gonna have time

2534
02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:46,960
Speaker 1: in the pocket. Yeah, it doesn't mean much for him

2535
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:49,640
Speaker 1: because he's got some legs. But we know what happens

2536
02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:52,480
Speaker 1: when you use those legs too much, too long. He's

2537
02:01:52,520 --> 02:01:56,080
Speaker 1: gonna be put You know, he could, he could get injured,

2538
02:01:56,120 --> 02:01:59,480
Speaker 1: and we don't want that. So he's gotta play smart

2539
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:05,280
Speaker 1: to be able to bring along an offensive line like

2540
02:02:05,520 --> 02:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Kelly did. That office is the line. They've met, they

2541
02:02:08,760 --> 02:02:12,560
Speaker 1: ate together, they did things together. You know, you gotta

2542
02:02:12,600 --> 02:02:16,440
Speaker 1: have a commodities that I think you're gonna have with

2543
02:02:16,560 --> 02:02:20,200
Speaker 1: these new people coming in. I'm attempted. All right, we'll

2544
02:02:20,240 --> 02:02:21,360
Speaker 1: let you go. I won't do it. We had a

2545
02:02:21,400 --> 02:02:26,880
Speaker 1: discussion about the word camaraderie here a week ago, right, Yes,

2546
02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:29,840
Speaker 1: well you had the discussion. I went to the wall

2547
02:02:30,120 --> 02:02:32,320
Speaker 1: right on how to spell it right, and I was right,

2548
02:02:32,360 --> 02:02:33,960
Speaker 1: and what it meant not Steve and I. We're not

2549
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:37,880
Speaker 1: fighting about camaraderie. We have we have camaraderie exactly so.

2550
02:02:38,360 --> 02:02:42,760
Speaker 1: But the caller was right, um, you need you want

2551
02:02:42,800 --> 02:02:45,600
Speaker 1: to pump the brakes, you know, and me especially you

2552
02:02:45,680 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 1: and I kind of laugh at me, and rightfully so,

2553
02:02:48,720 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 1: because I am some days I am unbelievably optimist. Is yeah,

2554
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:57,000
Speaker 1: some days I kind of go off the rails, thinking, man,

2555
02:02:57,080 --> 02:03:00,880
Speaker 1: there's no stopping its um, And then you know, other

2556
02:03:00,960 --> 02:03:06,640
Speaker 1: days I'm only slightly less realistic, slightly more realistic, but

2557
02:03:06,760 --> 02:03:09,320
Speaker 1: I think. And Jim, by the way, thanks for calling

2558
02:03:09,400 --> 02:03:12,160
Speaker 1: from banger Manier and Pilgrim and and Unholy Land obviously,

2559
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:15,720
Speaker 1: but that's right. Josh Allen is going to have some

2560
02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:18,400
Speaker 1: people preparing to stop Josh Allen. They're not going to

2561
02:03:18,560 --> 02:03:21,840
Speaker 1: prepare to stop Josh Allen slash Nathan Peterman or slash

2562
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson or Josh slash Matt Barkley or whoever else

2563
02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:28,520
Speaker 1: intended to be there. They're gonna watch him, and they're

2564
02:03:28,520 --> 02:03:31,120
Speaker 1: gonna know what he can do and can't do. The

2565
02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:34,120
Speaker 1: issue is gonna be and I think this too, a

2566
02:03:34,200 --> 02:03:36,680
Speaker 1: little bit of it's gonna be a little early season success.

2567
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:40,640
Speaker 1: I think the Bills, you'd like to see them jump out.

2568
02:03:41,240 --> 02:03:43,800
Speaker 1: You'd like to see him beat the Jets on opening day, obviously,

2569
02:03:43,840 --> 02:03:45,320
Speaker 1: and go back to the same building and beat a

2570
02:03:45,400 --> 02:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Giant's team that is in rebuild mode a little bit.

2571
02:03:48,280 --> 02:03:50,000
Speaker 1: You'd like to see him get off to a fast start.

2572
02:03:50,640 --> 02:03:52,960
Speaker 1: But what happens when you start doing that is you

2573
02:03:53,080 --> 02:03:55,880
Speaker 1: start telling people who you are, and as soon as

2574
02:03:55,880 --> 02:03:58,120
Speaker 1: the NFL finds out who you are and what you do,

2575
02:03:58,480 --> 02:04:00,840
Speaker 1: they will make sure that you have to beat him

2576
02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:04,400
Speaker 1: being somebody else you gotta be. You gotta beat him

2577
02:04:04,480 --> 02:04:07,000
Speaker 1: left handed, because they're gonna take your strong hand away.

2578
02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:09,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna take what you do best away. And that's

2579
02:04:09,320 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 1: when it's really gonna get tough for this team. I

2580
02:04:11,800 --> 02:04:14,160
Speaker 1: don't this team and this staff doesn't even know what

2581
02:04:14,240 --> 02:04:17,600
Speaker 1: they have yet. And other teams are in the same boat.

2582
02:04:17,960 --> 02:04:20,240
Speaker 1: But as the season progresses, it's going to be more

2583
02:04:20,280 --> 02:04:23,240
Speaker 1: and more difficult to be successful. But as we've said,

2584
02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:25,960
Speaker 1: he's going to have better people around him, more people

2585
02:04:26,040 --> 02:04:29,080
Speaker 1: helping him. He's gonna have more preparation under his belt

2586
02:04:29,120 --> 02:04:32,960
Speaker 1: than he did before, so a lot of question marks remain.

2587
02:04:33,560 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 1: But when you talk about what Josh is gonna look

2588
02:04:35,960 --> 02:04:37,760
Speaker 1: like like Jim the caller was trying to do there

2589
02:04:38,120 --> 02:04:40,480
Speaker 1: what it's going to look like, it's easier to describe

2590
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:43,480
Speaker 1: it rather than to put a statistic on it. You

2591
02:04:43,560 --> 02:04:45,680
Speaker 1: want it to look and feel like. This is a

2592
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:48,280
Speaker 1: guy that other teams are really worried about beating them.

2593
02:04:48,520 --> 02:04:50,760
Speaker 1: Hey tign Down for NFL True and False brought to

2594
02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:53,640
Speaker 1: you by Yancy's Fancy New York's artist in chiefe A

2595
02:04:53,720 --> 02:04:57,520
Speaker 1: couple of interesting questions. Andy Dalton Bengals starting quarterback Andy

2596
02:04:57,600 --> 02:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Dalton will have a career year under a new head coach,

2597
02:04:59,760 --> 02:05:02,720
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor. That's what Adam Shine from CBS Sports predicts.

2598
02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:06,320
Speaker 1: A career year Zach Taylor on the offensive side of

2599
02:05:06,360 --> 02:05:09,240
Speaker 1: the ball, first time Dalton's had a real offensive minded

2600
02:05:09,280 --> 02:05:12,120
Speaker 1: coach right after Marvin Louis several years. I also think

2601
02:05:12,160 --> 02:05:15,040
Speaker 1: don't underestimate the impact that our buddy Alex van Pelt

2602
02:05:15,080 --> 02:05:18,680
Speaker 1: will have on Andy Dalton. But a career year, maybe

2603
02:05:19,040 --> 02:05:21,800
Speaker 1: a winning successful the year for Andy Dalton, who you know,

2604
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:23,320
Speaker 1: it was just in town two weeks ago. I had

2605
02:05:23,320 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 1: a great time, great guy. I don't know. I'm gonna

2606
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:28,000
Speaker 1: go false on this. I don't think it will be

2607
02:05:28,120 --> 02:05:30,760
Speaker 1: viewed as a career year, even though he will benefit

2608
02:05:30,840 --> 02:05:35,120
Speaker 1: from the coaching hopet Well. His greatest career was forty

2609
02:05:35,160 --> 02:05:40,400
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety three yards, thirty three touchdowns, twenty interceptions.

2610
02:05:40,520 --> 02:05:42,920
Speaker 1: That was in two thousand and thirteen, his third year

2611
02:05:42,960 --> 02:05:49,160
Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, because you're not talking about Dan

2612
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:52,120
Speaker 1: Marino having a career year throwing for fifty two hundred yards.

2613
02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:53,720
Speaker 1: You're talking about a guy with a new head coach

2614
02:05:53,760 --> 02:05:58,040
Speaker 1: and offensive minded coach, a healthy AJ Green, a guy

2615
02:05:58,120 --> 02:06:00,640
Speaker 1: that could if he throws for forty one two hundred

2616
02:06:00,720 --> 02:06:05,600
Speaker 1: yards and cuts his touchdown to interception ratio improves that

2617
02:06:05,680 --> 02:06:07,440
Speaker 1: a little bit, that is a career year, and I

2618
02:06:07,480 --> 02:06:10,680
Speaker 1: think that's well within his reach. I think that's well

2619
02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:12,480
Speaker 1: within his reach. So I'm gonna say true to this.

2620
02:06:12,960 --> 02:06:15,280
Speaker 1: I think Andy Dalton is gonna play much better this

2621
02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:17,680
Speaker 1: year than he has in the past few years under

2622
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis. Remember, don't forget Marvin Lewis was a head

2623
02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:24,480
Speaker 1: coach that there was there was signs that him maybe

2624
02:06:24,520 --> 02:06:26,560
Speaker 1: not being there for very much longer, and it you know,

2625
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:29,200
Speaker 1: I think whenever that happens, I think that changes the

2626
02:06:29,320 --> 02:06:31,240
Speaker 1: dynamic in the locker room. I think that's a detriment

2627
02:06:31,280 --> 02:06:33,720
Speaker 1: to the team and therefore detriment to Dalton and his

2628
02:06:33,800 --> 02:06:37,760
Speaker 1: ability to be successful offensively. You got Zach Taylor, offensive

2629
02:06:37,800 --> 02:06:40,720
Speaker 1: minded head coach. Yeah, I think that's exactly where Andy

2630
02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:42,160
Speaker 1: Dalton's head. I think he's going to have one of

2631
02:06:42,200 --> 02:06:44,760
Speaker 1: the best years of his career this year. NFL True

2632
02:06:44,800 --> 02:06:48,880
Speaker 1: or False Part two. This one is just bizarre. This

2633
02:06:49,040 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 1: kind of double tuck you get deep in the offseason.

2634
02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:55,720
Speaker 1: The Patriots will benefit from the Ben Watson suspension. He's

2635
02:06:55,720 --> 02:06:59,760
Speaker 1: out four games, right with the performance enhancing drug suspension.

2636
02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:03,640
Speaker 1: Former Dolphins executive Mike Tannenbaum, now an executive, now an

2637
02:07:03,680 --> 02:07:07,480
Speaker 1: analyst with ESPN thinks the reigning Super Bowl champion Patriots

2638
02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:10,640
Speaker 1: could actually benefit from losing him for four games. It

2639
02:07:10,760 --> 02:07:14,280
Speaker 1: gives them roster flexibility. Tannebomb said yesterday he won't be

2640
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:16,720
Speaker 1: on the roster opening day, and therefore his contract won't

2641
02:07:16,720 --> 02:07:19,080
Speaker 1: be guaranteed. They only gave him six hundred thousand dollars,

2642
02:07:19,440 --> 02:07:21,360
Speaker 1: so between now and the fifth Game of the Year.

2643
02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:24,160
Speaker 1: If another option presents itself, they can simply move on

2644
02:07:24,280 --> 02:07:27,160
Speaker 1: from Watson and not reinstate him after Week four. Obviously

2645
02:07:27,360 --> 02:07:30,160
Speaker 1: this was bad news, but this actually creates some flexibility

2646
02:07:30,240 --> 02:07:33,320
Speaker 1: for them. False. It's not good. It's not good. The

2647
02:07:33,360 --> 02:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Patriots have you know, they lost Gronkowski, they have questions

2648
02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:38,680
Speaker 1: at tight end. Not having Ben Watson for four weeks

2649
02:07:39,200 --> 02:07:41,480
Speaker 1: is not a benefit. It's a deficit. False. I don't

2650
02:07:41,480 --> 02:07:44,400
Speaker 1: care how you look at the contracts. That's crazy talk.

2651
02:07:44,520 --> 02:07:49,760
Speaker 1: It is right, Mike Tannenbaum's posturing for a job. From

2652
02:07:49,800 --> 02:07:51,760
Speaker 1: Mike Tannenba. They're paying him six hundred grand. They're only

2653
02:07:51,800 --> 02:07:53,600
Speaker 1: gonna pay him four hundred and fifty because that four

2654
02:07:53,800 --> 02:07:56,120
Speaker 1: you divide. You know that the twenty five percent of

2655
02:07:56,200 --> 02:07:58,120
Speaker 1: his paycheck because salary is not going to get paid

2656
02:07:58,120 --> 02:08:00,400
Speaker 1: to him because he's suspended for four games twenty five

2657
02:08:00,440 --> 02:08:04,120
Speaker 1: percent of the season. They need him. They signed him.

2658
02:08:04,400 --> 02:08:09,160
Speaker 1: He's thirty eight. I mean at a tight end, he's ancient.

2659
02:08:10,800 --> 02:08:13,200
Speaker 1: They need all the guys they can get now. Certainly,

2660
02:08:13,240 --> 02:08:15,280
Speaker 1: if he comes back and he can't play because he

2661
02:08:15,480 --> 02:08:19,200
Speaker 1: is old that, you know that doesn't help him getting

2662
02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:21,320
Speaker 1: him back because he's not gonna but they need him.

2663
02:08:21,360 --> 02:08:23,000
Speaker 1: They need all the guys they can get, So no,

2664
02:08:23,160 --> 02:08:25,880
Speaker 1: this doesn't help them. They need to And even so

2665
02:08:26,240 --> 02:08:28,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna hang on to him through this suspension and

2666
02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:31,760
Speaker 1: come back and then find out he can't play. In

2667
02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:35,560
Speaker 1: no way, shape or form. Does this make them benefit

2668
02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:38,280
Speaker 1: them by his suspension? Finally, NFL true or false? This

2669
02:08:38,400 --> 02:08:41,920
Speaker 1: came from USA today their touchdown wire dot com. The XFL,

2670
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:44,280
Speaker 1: the new XFL coming up next year, should start planning

2671
02:08:44,400 --> 02:08:47,640
Speaker 1: now for an NFL work stoppage. I'm gonna go false

2672
02:08:47,760 --> 02:08:50,320
Speaker 1: on this. Look, go about your business, XFL. You seem

2673
02:08:50,360 --> 02:08:52,520
Speaker 1: to have a good business plan, unlike the alliance which

2674
02:08:52,520 --> 02:08:54,840
Speaker 1: folded up in the middle of their year. There may

2675
02:08:54,880 --> 02:08:57,000
Speaker 1: be a work stoppage, there may not, but just go

2676
02:08:57,080 --> 02:09:00,120
Speaker 1: about your business. Do what you're doing. Oliver Luck talk

2677
02:09:00,200 --> 02:09:02,080
Speaker 1: him at the Super Bowl. Seems to have his head

2678
02:09:02,120 --> 02:09:04,360
Speaker 1: in the right place. They're getting great backing from the

2679
02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:07,960
Speaker 1: wrestling guy. What's his name, you know, h Vince mcmannon. Yeah, right,

2680
02:09:08,280 --> 02:09:10,760
Speaker 1: Just do go about your business and be ready to play.

2681
02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:13,600
Speaker 1: Don't worry about a possible NFL work stoppage. I'm gonna

2682
02:09:13,600 --> 02:09:16,160
Speaker 1: say true only because of this. Certainly, if there's any

2683
02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:18,080
Speaker 1: benefit to be had, you've got to exploit it. You

2684
02:09:18,560 --> 02:09:20,680
Speaker 1: you need to leave no stone unturned if you want

2685
02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:23,760
Speaker 1: your league to work where half a dozen other entire

2686
02:09:23,880 --> 02:09:28,040
Speaker 1: leagues and millions and millions of hundreds of million dollars

2687
02:09:28,200 --> 02:09:30,600
Speaker 1: have been blown trying to get an alternate league up

2688
02:09:30,600 --> 02:09:32,960
Speaker 1: to go to the NFL. You've got to take every

2689
02:09:33,040 --> 02:09:36,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to expand that market and get a foot in

2690
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:40,560
Speaker 1: the door that is sustainable long term. But if you

2691
02:09:40,720 --> 02:09:45,160
Speaker 1: think for one minute that you're gonna supplant the NFL,

2692
02:09:45,440 --> 02:09:47,960
Speaker 1: or that the NFL is gonna die and go away

2693
02:09:48,120 --> 02:09:53,040
Speaker 1: because of a work stoppage, you are high. The NFL

2694
02:09:53,080 --> 02:09:56,000
Speaker 1: ain't going anywhere. They're gonna be there. And if, but

2695
02:09:56,120 --> 02:09:58,040
Speaker 1: if there is a gap there that you can fill

2696
02:09:58,120 --> 02:09:59,920
Speaker 1: and get some benefit for your league to do it,

2697
02:10:00,040 --> 02:10:02,600
Speaker 1: you've got to explore every opportunity to do that. So, yeah,

2698
02:10:02,880 --> 02:10:05,240
Speaker 1: do prepare in case there is a workstoppage, But don't

2699
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:07,440
Speaker 1: think you're going to replace the NFL or in some way,

2700
02:10:07,480 --> 02:10:09,960
Speaker 1: shape or form. The NFL's gonna go away and give

2701
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:11,960
Speaker 1: you an open window for very long to do it.

2702
02:10:12,240 --> 02:10:14,440
Speaker 1: If you can get some benefit, take it in any way,

2703
02:10:14,480 --> 02:10:16,560
Speaker 1: shape or form you can, but you know this, that

2704
02:10:16,640 --> 02:10:18,800
Speaker 1: eight hundred pound guerrilla is going to come sauntering back

2705
02:10:18,840 --> 02:10:20,280
Speaker 1: into the room in a minute, and it's going to

2710
02:10:31,440 --> 02:10:33,800
Speaker 1: things up. One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive. This

2711
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:51,680
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Okay, what do we learn? Presented

2712
02:10:51,720 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 1: by Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's homes and businesses

Speaker 1: preferred alarm a home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills.

2715
02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:02,400
Speaker 1: What do we learned? Chris Brown was here the first

2716
02:11:02,440 --> 02:11:04,560
Speaker 1: segment of the show. Chris Brown Bills inside of Buffalo

2717
02:11:04,600 --> 02:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com, talked about the topic of the day.

2718
02:11:07,240 --> 02:11:10,440
Speaker 1: His expectations were Josh Allen in his second season with Buffalo.

2719
02:11:12,440 --> 02:11:15,880
Speaker 1: I guess what I was saying initially to myself was

2720
02:11:16,840 --> 02:11:19,360
Speaker 1: I hope he can take the next step improve his

2721
02:11:19,440 --> 02:11:23,040
Speaker 1: short to intermediate passing game, improve his ball location so

2722
02:11:23,200 --> 02:11:25,760
Speaker 1: as completion percentage can be up closer to fifty eight

2723
02:11:25,840 --> 02:11:28,800
Speaker 1: to sixty percent instead of fifty two percent. Those were

2724
02:11:28,880 --> 02:11:31,760
Speaker 1: my hopes for him. Now, after seeing him here in

2725
02:11:31,840 --> 02:11:36,120
Speaker 1: OTA's and watching the way he's operated, I'm confident he

2726
02:11:36,240 --> 02:11:39,320
Speaker 1: can do those things. So I've gone from hoping to

2727
02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:43,400
Speaker 1: being pretty convinced that, you know, provided the offense stays

2728
02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:45,800
Speaker 1: healthy and the right people are in place, that he

2729
02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:48,120
Speaker 1: can take the next step. It's not a hope anymore.

2730
02:11:48,440 --> 02:11:51,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of a more of a when than an if.

2731
02:11:51,840 --> 02:11:54,560
Speaker 1: Chris Brown on Josh Allen. Also today, Pete Frisco joined

2732
02:11:54,640 --> 02:11:58,200
Speaker 1: us from CBS Sports dot Com. Pete Frisco said, it's

2733
02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:01,080
Speaker 1: very apparent that Bills players think a great deal about

2734
02:12:01,080 --> 02:12:04,960
Speaker 1: their head coach Sean McDermott. Here's what he said. One

2735
02:12:05,040 --> 02:12:07,040
Speaker 1: thing that stamps out about the Buffalo Bills to be

2736
02:12:07,280 --> 02:12:09,200
Speaker 1: watching them on DAYE, but you're watching him the first

2737
02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:13,920
Speaker 1: two years Sean McDermott's tenure there. They play hard. You

2738
02:12:14,080 --> 02:12:17,280
Speaker 1: can tell that they respect their coach and he gets

2739
02:12:17,360 --> 02:12:19,320
Speaker 1: the best out of him. You know, sometimes you wonder

2740
02:12:19,400 --> 02:12:21,040
Speaker 1: when you watching the game and you go, oh boy,

2741
02:12:21,400 --> 02:12:23,600
Speaker 1: the team doesn't play that hard. I don't know how

2742
02:12:23,640 --> 02:12:25,480
Speaker 1: they feel about their coach. But you can tell when

2743
02:12:25,480 --> 02:12:28,520
Speaker 1: you watch the Buffalo Bill they have nothing but respect

2744
02:12:28,560 --> 02:12:30,880
Speaker 1: for their head coach and they played for him. Okay,

2745
02:12:31,280 --> 02:12:33,280
Speaker 1: Critico sounded like Bills fan today when he was on this,

2746
02:12:33,360 --> 02:12:35,720
Speaker 1: didn't a little bit or Our guests tend to do

2747
02:12:35,800 --> 02:12:37,680
Speaker 1: that when they come on One Bill's Live. You know,

2748
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:41,080
Speaker 1: they kind of they kind of even even the critics

2749
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:45,240
Speaker 1: kind of temper their criticism. Intimidate them. Ah yeah, you

2750
02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:49,160
Speaker 1: intimidate them. That's why Prowley. Yeah, right, we had a

2752
02:12:51,360 --> 02:12:54,120
Speaker 1: A lot of our discussion today was came as a

2753
02:12:54,200 --> 02:12:58,560
Speaker 1: result of the reports on Josh Allen's day yesterday. One practice,

2758
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:10,200
