29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: yesterday right before the rain came in. We got off

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: the course and then it started to downpour. Yeah. But

31
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: when we were warming up on the driving range, I

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: was hitting with my hybrid and took one shot. The

33
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: clubhead goes flying fifty yards into the driving range. I

34
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, if it play no, we

35
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't got it. Yeah, that's happened to me. That's happened

36
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: to me with a with an iron or something where

37
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: it just flops off and it's like, oh man, you

38
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: know nothing some gorilla glue camp things. Don't use it

39
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: to get the thing fixed by Yeah, I'm gonna take

40
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: it in. So as you nine holes play good? I mean,

41
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: where did you play? If you don't mind me asking, Yeah,

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: I played at Auto bon I played all right, Yeah, okay,

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: that's fun, good stuff. Yeah, I'm very windy, so yeah,

44
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: is going every which way. It really was windy. I

45
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: played nine, I was gonna play eighteen. We got and

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: it was really slow as it crowded at autobon. Yeah,

47
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: it was pretty crowded. And then once we got to

48
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: the I guess the halfway point, it started to get

49
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: so windy where I think people were the halfway points.

50
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: The halfway points called the turn, well, the turn of

51
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: nine holes, so I guess that's right front and back right.

52
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: So at the turn it got you just decided to

53
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: pull the rip chord. No, we played. We played through.

54
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: We played all nine because it didn't start raining until

55
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: Oh I see, you only got halfway through your nine holes. No,

56
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: we played all nine. I was it got less busy.

57
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Half got you halfway through your nine holes, it got

58
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: less busy. Yeah, oh I see, so I got you.

59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: I thought nine holes, you were gonna play eighteen, and

60
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: you got to nine holes and I played nine. I

61
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: don't think I have eighteen in me yet. Eighteen with

62
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: the way that I play, So I was out. I

63
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: was playing and we got and it was slow, and

64
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: we got to the tenth and the guys that were

65
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: ahead of us had two holes open ahead of them,

66
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: and they just kind of took off. They didn't they

67
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: didn't let us play through right, and we were playing

68
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: a little faster and I was like ah. Then a

69
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: guy and the pro shop came out by says, listen, guys,

70

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: because there's a big storm coming. And I looked at

72
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: the guys playing slow ahead of us, and I looked

73
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: at the two guys I was with. I said, do

00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: yesterday where a number of gosh more than a number,

101
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: a ton of star football players came out and they

102
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: all tweeted in concert the same thing the NFL. They

103
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: want the NFL to do every follow the medical experts

104
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: advice on every aspect of the return to play football,

105
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: and then you know, get things started and the NFL

106
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: is obviously bristling at some of these recommendations by the

107
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: medical people, and the players don't want to budge on that.

108
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see. And the players

109
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: want a couple of the things. They want any season

110
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: games and a forty eight day run up to the games.

111
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna be right up against time as we get

112
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: into training camp. They have about a week to figure

113
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: this out. Some rookies reported today, but they are not

114
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: even allowed in the complex. Not talking about Bill's rookies,

115
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: but some other teams had rookies report today, and all

116
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: they're really doing is taking COVID tests and waiting at

117
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: home for their responses. So, yeah, it's usually usually you

118
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: show up for training camp and you do like you

119
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: get tested on the bench press and you're vertical pressed,

120
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, and vertical jump, and they run you through

121
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: some conditioning tests. You know, Now you're getting tested for COVID.

122
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: I hope they all pass, you know, I hope so too.

123
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: But I'm sure just with the amount of people on

124
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: each team, thirty two teams, there's gonna be some negative

125
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: tests that this gotta be gotta be. Yeah, there's gonna

126
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: be some positive tests, you mean not there be a

127
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: ton of and that's the thing too, and hopefully there's

128
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: only gonna be a few positives. Yeah, it's it's gonna

129
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: be I don't know how they're gonna do it, but

130
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: sooner or later. I mean, they've almost got the thing

131
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: set up. Like if somebody tests positive, it's almost like

132
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: the old like the Gong show Man. It's like they're

133
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: off stage right away, right, get home, right they used to,

134
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, just like dropping out of a trap door.

135
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: You miss a question, you're gone. You know, If you

136
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: test test positive for COVID, it's like, you know, it's

137
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: like men in black come and snatch you, and you're

138
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: like where you're like persona on GRATI for ten or

139
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: twelve days. That's it's gonna happen. And the thing is,

140
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna show up these meetings and the like, Hey,

141
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, like Josh, where Josh was just here? Where

142
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: is he? Oh he's he's gone, he got test results back.

143
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's gonna be bad. It's gonna be bad.

144
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: At times, I think, yeah, let's just hope there's no

145
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: outbreaks and it doesn't spread to position groups, because I

146
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: think that's when it gets tricky. Yeah, and then the

147
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: NBA is starting up. Those guys, the NBA and the

148
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: NHL are going to start up in the next ten

149
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: days or so, a week or so. Um Mark Cubans said,

150
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: the NFL season's gonna be more difficult to pull off

151
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: than the NBA's bubble. No kidding ten times the people.

152
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: We're not doing playoffs if it, he must have become

153
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: a millionaire by stating the obvious. A billionaire by stating

154
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: the obvious. Right, Yeah, the one team in the NFL

155
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: has like five NBA teams on it, at least three.

156
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: With that, it's unbelievable. Yeah, of course it's going to

157
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: be more difficult. You don't have there's no facility big

158
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: enough to hold more than maybe one team. No think

159
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: right before we started the show. Yeah, you got to

160
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: take over big citiers or a state basically if you

161
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: want to do an NFL bubble. Yeah. And now the

162
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: NFL still wants to play at least a preseason game,

163
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: maybe two. They're probably backing off that a little bit,

164
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: but there's a even inside the players ranks, there's a

165
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: bunch of guys who would love to play a preseason game.

166
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: Mostly the guys who haven't played in any games yet,

167
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: the rookie free agents and the rookies that are just drafted,

168
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: the guys that are kind of on the bubble, the

169
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: guys that are you know, kind of journeyman free agents

170
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: who need a chance to show that they've found a

171
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: right spot. Those guys need to get some some reps

172
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: on film. Nobody's gonna know who these guys are unless

173
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: they see him in a preseason game. They don't know

174
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: how they're gonna play for the Bills or whoever unless

175
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: they see him in a preseason game. And then all

176
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: the other teams will get those games, look at them

177
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: and evaluate everybody on everybody's roster. Well, if you don't

178
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: have any games, there's none of that film to be had,

179
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: and that's that's a problem for the young guys. So

180
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: there is some players who want some preseason games. Yeah,

181
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: the coaches really rely on that at least one preseason

182
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: game to get their rosters figured out. But we'll steve

183
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to expand practice squad team

184
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: members and if they can expand it to a larger

185
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: number than maybe it won't matter as much. If there's

186
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: not a preseason game. And we've talked about it before, Steve,

187
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: You've said that practice squads should be you know, thirty people,

188
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: fifty people, just in case something happens. It shouldn't be

189
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: just you're twelve. It needs to be way more than that.

190
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: And think about this too. I mean, it could just

191
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: as easily the virus could just as easily hit those

192
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: twelve guys on the practice squad if they're hanging out together,

193
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're flying without a net. You know,

194
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: you hope nobody else gets it because the practice squad

195
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: guys are all on ten day quarantine. And it'll be

196
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: interesting to see as well, if they can start doing

197
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: the Anybody's test, how seriously they take that? Are they?

198
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Are those guys just bulletproof now if they have the

199
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: antibody test and they've got all that, they don't you

200
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: know you know what I mean, Yeah, you'd think so.

201
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: But I've also read that people who have gotten it

202
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: before have gotten it again. And again that's the thing,

203
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't never know. Nobody's an expert on this yet.

204
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: There's a ton of guys, a ton of star players,

205
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: and I'll just go down a quick list here. Patrick Mahomes,

206
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Miles Garrett, Russell Wilson, Michael Thomas, Aaron Donald,

207
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior, JJ Watt, Jarvis Landry, and of course

208
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: the president of the NFLPA, JC Tredder, Todd Gurley, Richard Sherman,

209
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: zach ERTs. The list goes on and on. Stefan Diggs

210
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: jumped in, Carson Wentz, Jalen Smith, Malcolm Jenkins. I mean,

211
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, they all tweeted out a response to what's

212
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: going on in the negotiations, and the general consensus is

213
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: this is what Darius Slay said. He's why isn't the

214
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: NFL listening to the recommendations from their own joint committee.

215
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: If we want to have a full season, it'll have

216
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: to look different. The NFL make the necessary changes. And

217
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: then the hashtag with all of these is we want

218
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: to play. So if you want to keep track of

219
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: that on social media, you can go out and find

220
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: out and look at all these guys who have spouted

221
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: I say spouted off, but you know, made their wishes

222
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: known the league, and it's pretty, it's pretty. It shows

223
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: a real solidified front for the nfl PA that all

224
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: these guys are out there, stay and listen, just do

225
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to do, and their their take is there,

226
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: and I kind of I see both sides of it.

227
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: But here it is if the NFL players can get

228
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: the owners to do everything that the health officials and

229
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: the health experts say they should do. If they say

230
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: to quarantine here, do this or do that, and these

231
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: guys got to stay out for that long whatever it

232
00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: is tested this often handle things this way however they

233
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: think they should do it. The NFL needs to do

234
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: it exactly that way. So in the end they can.

235
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: And this is for the NFL's benefit. So if something

236
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: does happen and they're starting to bring in guys off

237
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: the streets just to play. If so, if if it

238
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: runs rampant through their ranks and they're just trying to

239
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: get fielded teams, at least they can say, hey, listen,

240
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: we're doing everything we can. We're doing as safe as

241
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: we can. We got the guys that have got it

242
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: there in quarantine. We need bodies to play. Here we go,

243
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: so they can make the rationale that we did everything

244
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: just right. So we're just gonna keep plowing ahead and go.

245
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: Whether we get crippled by this virus or not, these

246
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: games are gonna happen with whoever we can get to

247
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: play in them. So the league could do that and

248
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: take that task attack. But to do that while only

249
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: going halfway with the recommendations right, doesn't sound that right.

250
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: Here's what JJ Watts said. So the hashtag we want

251
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: to play tweets that you've seen from players that Steve

252
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: just said a bunch of the names. JJ watts tweet

253
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: went was one of the first that went out, and

254
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: he actually had text about what has been decided what

255
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: hasn't been decided. So I'll read off the billet points

256
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: from the tweet he said, we want to play, we

257
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: want to be as safe as possible. The NFL can

258
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: mandate that players show up to training camp regardless if

259
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: any agreement has been reached between the NFL and the NFLPA.

260
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: We still have not been granted the full and proper

261
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: training camp acclamation period necessary as recommended by the medical

262
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: and training staffs. We still do not know if there

263
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: will be daily testing, every other day testing, etc. We

264
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: still do not know if there will be preseason games

265
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: or not. We still do not know how a positive

266
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: COVID test will be handled in regards to others in

267
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: close contact i e. In the huddle, directly engage with etc.

268
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: A strong and fair opt out clause for those at

269
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: higher risk or those with family members at higher risk

270
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: has still not been agreed upon. If players do not

271
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: show up on time, they can be fine or considered

272
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: in breach of contract. Even if health and safety protocols

273
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: have not been agreed upon or plans have been approved,

274
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: we want to play. So still seems like there are

275
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: some big question marks out there in terms of what

276
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: the players should know, in terms of what the NFL

277
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: should know. As it is July twentieth and training camp

278
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: is set to start next week, and some teams have

279
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: rookies that have showed up today to get tested, lots

280
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: of question marks. It seems like they're going to have

281
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: to show up or else they're gonna get fined. But

282
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: you want the stuff to be figured out, not two

283
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: weeks into training camp. You want to arrive to training

284
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: camp knowing, Okay, these are my options. This is what

285
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: is going to happen if I used to opt out.

286
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: This is what is going to happen if one of

287
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: my teammates test positive for COVID. This is how this

288
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: is going to be handled, and not knowing all this

289
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: is would make me nervous to return back. And here's

290
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: and here's why, and it's obvious. I mean, it boils

291
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: down to this. In a in an article that where

292
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: they quoted our good friend Lorenzo Alexander, Michael David Smith

293
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: from NBC Sports wrote that there have been estimates that

294
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: it would cost the NFL upwards of one hundred million

295
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: dollars to test every player every day. Of course, it

296
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: would cost the NFL a lot more than that if

297
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: an outbreak among players led to a season being canceled.

298
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: And that's true, and it the league is gonna well,

299
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: comparatively speaking to every other year, the league is going

300
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: to take a bath this year. They are not gonna

301
00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: make any money. But how big a bath are they

302
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: going to take? Is the question. And if you're talking

303
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: about one hundred million dollars to test every player every day,

304
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: that's something the league is going to buck against. You

305
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: can you can imagine that, You can imagine, yeah, and

306
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: it's not just I mean players, Yes, if you test

307
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: players every single day, it's going to be one hundred

308
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: million dollars. But what about the coaching staff what about

309
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: support staff, what about the medical staff. I mean, well,

310
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: I would think I would think this has got to

311
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: think when you say when I think they say player

312
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: every day, I think they got to say, you know, teams.

313
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's going to cost to test

314
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: these teams every day. You know, maybe they would test

315
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: the players every day and coaches every day, and everybody

316
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: else gets tested every other day, you know what I mean,

317
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: That would be something they could do. Plus, not only

318
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: are they getting tested every day, they're taking their temperature

319
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: every hour, and they're you know, and they're checking their

320
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: heart rate and monitors and all and checking them for symptoms.

321
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's almost to the point where

322
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: when you're going to have time to get ready to

323
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: play football all the stuff going on. Maybe it would

324
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: be smart too, to use the Ora rings that the

325
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: NBA has used that tracks vitals and things like that.

326
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: A couple other schools are starting to wear the Whoop bands.

327
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: If you've heard of those that helped detect I believe

328
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: it was a golfer on the PGA tour some early

329
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: signs that he had COVID. It was because of his

330
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: heart rate. I believe that they were able to detect

331
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: that because of a Whoop band. So I think there's

332
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: some other things that you might be able to adopt

333
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: that could help with early detection or just detection of

334
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: the virus. You probably want to do as many things

335
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: as you can do aside from testing. We spoke about

336
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: this last week. The Whoop bands are actually the company

337
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: is actually has been invested by invested in by the

338
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: National Football League Players Association, So the PA has has

339
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: a financial stake in the whoop bands that transmit respiratory

340
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: vital signs and all that temperature and all of that stuff,

341
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: all kinds of data to it generates all that data

342
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: from the each player that wears it, and that's something

343
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: that the players have been invested in. So that's that

344
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: seems like a natural that they would be able to

345
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: use whoop bands. And when we say whoop bands, it's

346
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: whoop whoop, and it's you can look it up. And

347
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: we had a brief conversation brianan I did last week

348
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: about you know, that seems like a no brainer have

349
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: all that stuff because the technology is there, and what

350
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: better place to use it than when you really got

351
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: to have it, when it can really give you it's

352
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: not just something you can say, Hey, I'm going to

353
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: get a competitive advantage. How about just getting on the

354
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: field and keeping the team fields. That's I think that's

355
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: a huge boost if they can get that and make

356
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: that happen. So we'll see if that all this technology intersects.

357
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: We also, now before we go to break, we got

358
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: a few minutes. Let's let's ask our view ask our viewers.

359
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: I say, we're not on TV. We're gonna be on

360
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: TV at some point, but not yet someday. Let's ask

361
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: our listeners what they think about the meetings today. The

362
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: owners are meeting today and it's following that we want

363
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: to play campaign by all the high high profile players.

364
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: And what do you think is going to come out

365
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: of the now that it's the league and the owner,

366
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: the league PA and the owners, right, or a meeting

367
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: today or is this just an owners meeting? It's just

368
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: the owners and the NFL, right, Okay, So I wonder

369
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: what's going to happen out of this meeting, and we

370
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: have a couple of questions. We have a couple of

371
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: options for you. What will come out of the owners

372
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: meetings today? Following the hashtag we want a play campaign

373
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: one is a no good, no new news. Nothing really

374
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: is going to come out of this owner's meeting. Be

375
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: players get all they're asking for, which seems unlikely to me,

376
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: and see we're gonna see a change. They're gonna go

377
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: down to one preseason game, so we'll see a softening

378
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: from the NFL. Or do you see something else happening

379
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: from the owners meeting today? They're gonna get all this

380
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: all laid out. They're all gonna be very aware of

381
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: what the players have been doing on Twitter and social media,

382
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see how they're briefed on

383
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: what's next for them, you know, and so well, I

384
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: don't know what you're My gut feeling is right away,

385
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: there probably won't be any new news. That's what I

386
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: was gonna say. I mean, how many meetings have they

387
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: already had? And yes, discussions have happened, but nobody's arrived

388
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: upon any conclusions. It's just okay, we want this, well

389
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: we don't agree, Okay, how about this, we don't agree.

390
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not I don't think there's gonna be

391
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: any breaking news that comes out of this meeting now.

392
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: I think in the next week there's going to have

393
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: to be some news that comes out of these meetings.

394
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: Whether it's just NFL and owners or whether it's the

395
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: NFL and the NFLPA, there's going to have to be

396
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: some things that are figured out by you know, next Monday.

397
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: Is that this meeting. I don't think so. Right, they met.

398
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: They had a conference call on Friday as well. So

399
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: things are starting to happen a look quicker. But and

400
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: it's amazing too if you think about it. Here's what's

401
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: happening on our Twitter poll. The leader in the clubhouse

402
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: is one preseason game is going to come out of

403
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: this meeting. They think they're gonna drop back to one

404
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: preseason game. It's followed by no news. Was what you

405
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: and I said. Forty percent of the people think it's

406
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: going to be one preseason game. Thirty three percent of

407
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: us think that it's going to be no news, no

408
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: new news, nothing's going to happen, and seventeen percent say

409
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna players are gonna get everything they ask for,

410
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,320

414
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: here till three o'clock. Adam Rank of the NFL Fantasy

415
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: Writers NFL dot Com Fantasy Writers coming on with in

416
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: the one o'clock hour, Mattie any This whole thing is

417
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: coming to a head quick because now they've got players

418
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: that are showing up to be tested. It's starting to

419
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: get rolling. And to me, the closer we get to it,

420
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: and the fact that they still haven't got anything decided

421
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: gives me a little bit of angst as to how

422
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: the season's going to look and how it's gonna get started.

423
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: Once they get in and start training camp and all that,

424
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: they'll button up. And I ask, no problem, but if

425
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: the players are going to get a forty eight day

426
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: run up to camp, what does that put us at

427
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: right now? At August we're in August twentieth, I'm sorry,

428
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: July twentieth. That's August twentieth is thirty, and then two

429
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: weeks out of that would be first week of September.

430
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: All right, So we if they're going to do that,

431
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: it starts right like this week. To get the forty

432
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: eight day run up with no guests, with no preseason games,

433
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: that is with none, I guess if they were going

434
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: to do one preseason game. So the forty eight day

435
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: ramp up includes a twenty one day acclamation period, which

436
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: is what was recommended by the NFL and NFLPA, and

437
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: so the one preseason game. They've figured it out to

438
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: where you can get a seventeen day acclamation period instead

439
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: of twenty one, which is pretty good. You're missing out

440
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: on four days, which can you get a lot done

441
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: in those four days acclamation wise? Or is seventeen basically

442
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: the same as twenty one? So with players still want

443
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: no preseason games, so if you do the forty eight days,

444
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: it gets you right up until Week one. Basically, truth

445
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: be told, don't think it's about the games for the players.

446
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: I think it's about doing it the way they're recommended

447
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: doing it. I think they're just listening to the doctors.

448
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: And I know this too. I'm not for a nothing,

449
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: but when you play in the NFL, you spend a

450
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: lot of time sitting on a table in front of

451
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: a doctor talking about how you're feeling or what's going on.

452
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean a ton of time. I mean it's like, yeah,

453
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: I mean the doctor's office in the stadium is your

454
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: second home a lot of times. So players are used

455
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: to saying, Hey, the doctor says to do this, do this,

456
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: do this, and they're used to it. If he says

457
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: you do it, you do it. You know. If he

458
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: says to, you know, do your rehab, do it. If

459
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: he says to, you know, take this medication, do it.

460
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: If he says this is gonna make it feel better,

461
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: you do it. So they're used to when the doctor

462
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: says you need to take seventeen days or twenty one days,

463
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: just okay. They don't question it. They just do it.

464
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: That's the challenge that gets set before him. So they're

465
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: very used to saying, hey, they're recommending it, let's do

466
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: it that way. And I think the league is more like,

467
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, I don't need to take that extra aspirin today.

468
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna you know what I mean. Yeah, They're

469
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: they're more of a listen, you want me to come

470
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: back in how long I'm not gonna spend the money

471
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Right. That's where the NFL is at,

472
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: you know. So we'll see it's it's a lot going

473
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: on a big meeting today. The news will probably start

474
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: to leak out. It usually does like two fifty five,

475
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: Like five minutes before we go off the air, something

476
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: will break and we'll get to talk about it tomorrow.

477

Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back

485
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: to One Builds Life. Steve Tasker, Maddie Glad We're talking

486
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: about the the NFL owners meeting today. They've got a

487
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: zoom meeting going on, being updated on what the players

488
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: are asking for, what the h as if they needed

489
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: any update, Uh, they're probably gonna have some decisions to make.

490
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: Its Well, I'd like to know what the agenda is

491
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: for that for that meeting, But nevertheless, we're here talking

492
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: about the NFL. Some around the league, some rookies are

493
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: starting to report they're not reporting into the building like

494
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: normal obviously, but what they are doing is showing up,

495
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: getting tested and leaving, and so it begins. The testing begins,

496
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: and that's big. And there were a couple of weeks

497
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: away from absolutely everybody being on scheduled for being in

498
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: the buildings. As it as it relates to the Buffalo Bills,

499
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: they can countdown. The camp continues, and Chris Brown submitted

500
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: in an article Let's see was it Saturday over the

501
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: weekend and it was about Camp four reasons why the

502
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: Bills should score more points. Now, those of us who

503
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: like you and me, Maddie and most of our listeners

504
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: know that that was one of the things that held

505
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: the Bills back last year, was their inability to get

506
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: in the end zone enough. Certainly, they won ten games

507
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: and had a nice season and did some cool things.

508
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: But Brownie points out in this article the other eleven

509
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: playoff teams, of the twelve that made the playoffs last year,

510
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: they all averaged twenty six point six points per game.

511
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: The Bills averaged nineteen point six. It's exactly a touchdown behind.

512
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: And we knew that kind of headed through the season.

513
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: If they could score in that range, they were going

514
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: to be really successful most of the time and just

515
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: couldn't get it done. But Brownie has four reasons why

516
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to score more points this season.

517
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: Which one do you think? Which one are you like

518
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: subscribing to as you look down, I am subscribing two

519
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: past catching ability. I mean, hello, Steph Diggs, Hello second

520
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: year with John Brown and Cole Beasley and Dawson Knox.

521
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: I think what you return and the new players that

522
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: are coming to this team. When you're talking about skill

523
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: positions on offense, not only Steph Diggs. I think Gay

524
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: Davis can help. I think Isaiah Hodgens can help if

525
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: both of them make the roster. If Duke Williams is

526
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: on the team again, I think he can help as well.

527
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: We've all heard and seen video of how talented Steph

528
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 1: Diggs is and how great of a route runner he is,

529
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: and how good he is at creating separation and making

530
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: catches when he's very tightly guarded in man situations. With

531
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: his ability and what he can do back to back

532
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: one thousand receiving yard seasons, he's going to be able

533
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: to open up the field, not for just him, but

534
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: for everybody else. The attentions that he's going to garner

535
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: from a defense is going to allow other players to shine.

536
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of times where he's

537
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: gonna be double teamed. Defenses are going to have to

538
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: scheme up for him a lot more than other players.

539
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: So that's going to leave an extra person open. I

540
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: think almost every time that he steps onto the field. Yeah,

541
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little more old school than that. I

542
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: know that they've got a lot of great players, great

543
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: pieces that really helped last year when they added Cole

544
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: Beasley and John Brown. Motor single Devin Singletary was a

545
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: huge edition. They went with Dawson Knox, who emerged as

546
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: a real athletic and a matchup nightmare. To me, it

547
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: still comes down to the quarterback and how much better

548
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is going to be. The guys out there

549
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: going to give him bigger windows. There's no question about it.

550
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: Josh should take another leap forward. We saw him take

551
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: a significant step forward last year. He went from fifty

552
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: two percent a completion to fifty eight point nine or something.

553
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: It's almost, yeah, fifty nine, so that that's a huge jump.

554
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: If he takes another jump like that this year, there's

555
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: no stop in this team. If Josh Allen completes sixty

556
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: five percent of his passes, their super Bowl team. I

557
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: just believe that now, Covid aside, that's what I believe.

558
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, if all that, you know,

559
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: he's if Josh Allen takes all the offensive snaps like

560
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: he did a year ago, or most of them like

561
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: he did a year ago, this is a team that

562
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: there's no stopping. They got all the pieces. They've got

563
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, they've got the leadership, they've got the character,

564
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: they've got continuity coming back in the system. It's all

565
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: coming down to how well Josh Allen plays. There were

566
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: too many times last year where he just felt like

567
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: if he could have dropped the pass, you know, taking

568
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: a little off it. Certainly, I think in the beginning

569
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: of the year one of the reasons he was so

570
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, so inaccurate on his long passes, and we

571
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: all saw it. He overthrew everything, Maddie, and the reason

572
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: he did that he started doing that when he had

573
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: like twelve touchdowns and eight interceptions or twelve and ten

574
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: or something like that. Right he was throwing as many

575
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: and he was throwing as many interceptions as he was touchdowns,

576
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: and then he got to like week five or six

577
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: somewhere in there, and that stopped. I mean, he just

578
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: did not throw an intercept. He didn't went three games

579
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: without throwing any, and then there was one or an

580
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: ending through one and there was like another. It just

581
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: went through a stretch where he didn't throw any and

582
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: the team got better, played well during that stretch, and

583
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: certainly that you know, their efficiency raised, But there were

584
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: a lot of times when he threw it just so

585
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: he wouldn't get an interception, not really trying to complete it,

586
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: in my mind, you know, And I think that's something

587
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: that with a year under his felt maybe that goes

588
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: away and he will try and complete him and will

589
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: complete more of those. Yeah, And I think the timing

590
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: to get those to turn into complete passes with someone

591
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: like John Brown and Steph Diggs takes more than a year.

592
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: And this training camp is going to be very interesting

593
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: to see where Josh Allen and Steph Diggs are at,

594
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: considering that they didn't have May, they didn't have June. Yes,

595
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: they met up together for one weekend in southern Florida

596
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: for a few days, but that's not going to do it.

597
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: So the two or three weeks that they get together

598
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: in training camp, they're really really going to focus on

599
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: getting that timing down. And that's something that Sean McDermott

600
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: and Brian Dave all has comment have commented on saying

601
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: something that they are not necessarily worried about, but something

602
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: that they're concerned about as you approach week one is

603
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: not having those three weeks of mini camps that you

604
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: miss out on. So that's one thing that everybody is

605
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: going to be very focused on as they all get

606
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: onto the field to start practicing for that first week. Yeah,

607
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's gonna be really really interesting for

608
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: most of us because we're not gonna be able to

609
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: watch practice. We're not gonna be able to watch how

610
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: they go through the protocols. We're not going to be

611
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: able to stand out there and take in, you know,

612
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: who's taken what reps, who's at the front of the line,

613
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: and drills little little small details like that. We're not

614
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: going to see any of the position competitions. We're not

615
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: going to see any of the great plays in practice.

616
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: We're not going to get to see be wowed by

617
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: any of the young guys that are in there. We're

618
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: not going to get a chance to see any of

619
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: the veterans that have progressed or regressed. And we're not

620
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: even and we're not even gonna know from day to

621
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: day who's gonna be out there practicing, because how are

622
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: they going to handle letting us know who tested positive?

623
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: You know, how the fans are gonna find out that,

624
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, Steph Diggs, Colby's and John Brown are all

625
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: out for thirteen days during the middle of the forty

626
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 1: eight day run up. You know, Nope, I mean we'll

627
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: probably find out somehow, right, I mean, is the league

628
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: gonna handle out? I mean, then you got hippo laws

629
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: and stuff where these guys have, you know, the right

630
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: to privacy. They're not getting injured, they're getting sick, so

631
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: all this stuff's on the table. And usually you know,

632
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: for people like you and me, Maddie, who watch practice

633
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: and we're the you know, during training campus, Saint John Fisher,

634
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean you're camped out right, I mean, you're watching

635
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: every position group all the time. We're gonna be lost

636
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: when the season starts. Who's that guy you have? We

637
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: don't even record, you know, usually you come out there,

638
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: you see a guy walking. You don't even have to

639
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: know his number. You recognize him, right, you look, you

640
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: remember what he looks like in his uniform. You see

641
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: the guy walking and say, oh yeah, yeah, there's Quentin Spain.

642
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: I know him all right. And you don't even know

643
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: his number. Now it's like, who who's that guy? What

644
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: number was that? What number was he? You know? But

645
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: I hope we get to watch some of training camp.

646
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, the chief said coach is doing his media

647
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: availability right now because the Chiefs had rookies report today

648
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: as well as the Texans, and he one of his

649
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: quotes was, this may not look like a normal camp

650
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 1: until eight to ten days in, So those first two

651
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: weeks or those first eight to ten days could just

652
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: be workouts and medical examinations and those types of things.

653
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: They may not get on the field until technically week

654
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: two of camp, and if they're truly going to get

655
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: that twenty one day acclaimation period, which would not be

656
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: practice based, it would be acclimating. So that means getting

657
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: in the weight room, making sure your body is on

658
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: track for where it needs to be at the end

659
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: of July. We want step practices for twenty one days

660
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: then right, right, So with all this stuff going on,

661
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: we started this segment by talking about why they're going

662
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: to score more points, and you kind of when you

663
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: talk about all the obstacles that there are, I don't

664
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: know how they're gonna score any They gotta get on

665
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: the field, right, I mean, you know, yeah, Josh Allen

666
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 1: maybe playing better. They may have, you know, pass catching ability.

667
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: They got better guys out on the outside. Third down

668
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: answers is one of the other things that Chris Brown

669
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: put into this. From third and four to seven, the

670
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: Bills converted over just over twenty seven percent of their attempts.

671
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: But they've got to get better than that. You know,

672
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: Diggs has got to got to help with that, So

673
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: does Beasley, so does John Brown, so does all the quarterbacks.

674
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: Gonna make a big difference for all these guys. Red zone,

675
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: the Bills have been a rough, a subpar team in

676
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: the red zone on both sides of the football, both

677
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: defensively and offensively. Last year they came in and made

678
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: it a real strong movement on their red zone defense

679
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: because they thought they really really were bad in the

680
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 1: six and ten year of the year before, which they were.

681
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: They obviously got a little better. They got pretty good,

682
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: but they weren't anywhere near where they wanted to be.

683
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: They were still middle the pack or less in the

684
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: red zone. Defense given up touchdowns and there are and offensively,

685
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: we've already said they struggled to get in the end zone.

686
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: They've got to be better in the red zone. You know,

687
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: that comes down to a couple of things. Most good

688
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 1: red zone teams, Maddie, they can run the ball down there. Yeah,

689
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: you gotta have a power back, and I think that's

690
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: where Zach Moss can be your answer. I mean, Frank

691
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: Or was that answer for some of this season, but

692
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: then towards the second half of the season you saw

693
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: him take a step back, probably due to his age.

694
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: You have Zach Moss coming in, Who's a rookie who

695
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: can gain those tough yards, who isn't afraid of contact,

696
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: who will plow through a pack of players, who will

697
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: jump over a pack of defenders. I'm really interested to

698
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: see how he fits into this offense in year one,

699
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: probably similar to how much Devin Singletary was used in

700
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: year one, maybe even more. I mean, Devin got a

701
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: great opportunity his first season in the league. Now, he

702
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: did miss those three games due to a hamstring injury,

703
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: So hopefully Zach Moss can get through the season healthy

704
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: and you know, prove his worth of being selected in

705
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: the third round. Right. So I'm kind of with you.

706
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: I think they've got a better set up in the

707
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: backfield this year. Now we didn't know coming in. We

708
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: kind of knew we had a couple of question marks

709
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: last year in the backfield. Devin Singletary was an unknown

710
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, and Frank Gore, while

711
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: you thought, okay, he's good, but you kind of knew

712
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: he was going to be limited in what he could

713
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: do because he's thirty five year old or thirty six

714
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: year old running back, which is unheard of. So Devin

715
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: Singletary emerged as a really huge plus for the team.

716
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: He comes back and you've got a guy now that

717
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: you just did it last year with Devin Singletary, You've

718
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: got a guy just like him coming in this year

719
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: in Zack Moss. And you think both of those guys,

720
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: you've really got something special. And that's where I think

721
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: the optimism about the running game and the red zone

722
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: running game come into play. For me, is you feel

723
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: like you've got your You're loaded up with the kind

724
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: of guys you need. Uh. Singletary's tough to find and

725
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: he's tough to tackle. He makes a ton of guys miss.

726
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's his gift. And Zack Moss ran the

727
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: exact same way in college. I just think they're they're

728
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: set up perfectly. So all of that to being said,

729
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: I do think they're going to score more points than

730
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: they did last year. Hopefully it will be at least

731
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: a full touchdown more than they did on average. Wouldn't

732
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 1: you love to see Josh Allen throw for three hundred

733
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 1: yards in a game and have the team hang thirty

734
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: points on somebody. I would that would be amazing. Would

735
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: that would make our jobs so much less stressful, especially

736
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: while we watch a game, right Mondays? Would be so

737
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: much more fun, So much more fun. All Right, before

738
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,120

Speaker 1: I love water. That's probably like my favorite thing is

764
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: being on a lake, being on an ocean so much fun.

765
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: So I went kayaking this weekend near Canal Side and

766
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: had a great time. So kayaking canal Side Lake Erie,

767
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: the weather, that is number one for me. All right, fine,

768
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: let me say, let me return to this one. And

769
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: I said this at the top of the show had

770
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: to be for me. My top one was playing my

771
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: shooting a seventy one on at Craigburn the other day

772
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: with three guys that I had never met before that day.

773
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: So I'm Adam, I'm mad him. I didn't know him

774
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: that well. So I came out. I was trying to

775
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: play quick fast eighteen holes and kind of get back

776
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: home and stuff, and these two guys had a threesome

777
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: and I and they said, yeah, come on play with us.

778
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: So I played with them. And they were all young guys.

779
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: They were all twenty seven or something, and they'd one

780
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: of them had played college golf a while back, and

781
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: they had just want of them to come back to

782
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: the area. And they were all young professional guys who

783
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: were just getting back into the game after playing at

784
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: his kids. And fun fun meeting them and stuff, So

785
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: it was nice to shoot that round where I actually

786
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: had three guys who saw me do it, which was nice.

787
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: So you have to take my word for it, right,

788
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: That was my number one? Probably all right, give me

789
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 1: another one. I guess we're at number three. So number

790
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: three for me, it's got to be patios. I love

791
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: sitting out on a patio, whether it's for dinner, whether

792
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: it's for drinks. I love that patio are open now

793
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: and you can walk around. I live in Elmwood Village,

794
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: so I love walking around Elmwood Village, eating that restaurants,

795
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: having a drink at some of the bar patios that

796
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: are open. Just with the weather, I want to be

797
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: outside as much as possible, so I am so thankful

798
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: that patios are now open. I know you can go

799
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: inside and restaurants now with like fifty percent capacity or whatever,

800
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: but I'd rather be on a patio all day, as

801
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: long as it's not like I'm monsoon outside or a tornado.

802
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on a patio. That has to be mine too.

803
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: Saturday night, after I shot that score, the whole you know,

804
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: not the whole, most of the isolation pod that I

805
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: was with my two boys and all the grandkids came

806
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: over the house for a cookout, so they were all

807
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: over at the house, and it was it was nine

808
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: hundred degrees out, but it was very nice. I got

809
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: to spend some time with them. And that's what There's

810
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: been some there's been some really bad, tragic things that

811
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: have happened as a result of this COVID, all the

812
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: deaths and the sicknesses, and the and the shutdown and

813
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: people losing their businesses, people losing jobs, getting furloughed, and

814
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: all the tragedy that happened because of it. But there

815
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: have also been some things, some benefits as well, and

816
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: even though they don't outweigh the negatives for a lot

817
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: of people, I'd be crazy not to admit that there

818
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: have been some times during this pandemic that I've said,

819
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: you know that really I remember, you know, I wish

820
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: it was more like that all the time. I wish

821
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: I had, you know, a chance to kind of with

822
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: nothing else to do, to sit down and just chat

823
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: with whoever it is, whether it be a you know,

824
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: a friend socially distanced, or my family or my wife

825
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: or my grandkids or whoever, to take things just to

826
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: hair slower during this pandemic. I think that was one

827
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: of the things that I noticed about this last weekend

828
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: was now that it was kind of a routine and normal,

829
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: kind of you know, we've been doing the six months.

830
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: Now you forget how much you tried to pack into

831
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: the summer here in Buffalo. Yeah, and it was all great,

832
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: and you know, he was enjoyed and stuff, but it

833
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: gets to the point where you're too busy to slow

834
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: down and savor it a little bit, you know, right,

835
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: it's always fun. Summers in Buffalo are spectacular, but sometimes

836
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: you hurry so fast to enjoy them, to get everything in,

837
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: you forget to savor it a little bit. And I

838
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: think I've learned to do that a little bit more

839
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: in this pandemic. And that kind of hit me this

840
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: last weekend when I was with the family. So it

841
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: was kind of nice for that. So of all the

842
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: bad that I got to say, that was a plus. Yeah,

843
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: it was as nice as to remember to slow it

844
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: down a little bit. I like it. What do we're at? Five? Now?

845
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: That was here and two? Yes, one more number five?

846
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: All right, this is going to be two possessions that

847
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: I have just acquired thanks to the Internet. So I

848
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: love to work out. I have been so boned that

849
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: gyms are closed, but I totally understand it and probably

850
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't feel comfortable going to a public gym anyways. So

851
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: I've been doing all these like body weight workouts that

852
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: you can find on YouTube and on Instagram, and those

853
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: have all been great, but I love using weights, and

854
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: so I just bought it goes up to sixty six pounds,

855
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: which is good enough, but the ones that go up

856
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: like two hundred pounds are like a small fortune. So

857
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: I got something off Walmart that allows dumbbells to go

858
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: up to thirty three pounds each jumbell, and then you

859
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: can turn it into a like a long bar and

860
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: you can use it to squat and do other exercises.

861
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: So I'm so excited to use my new weights because

862
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: I've been doing body weights since all this began, so

863
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 1: I'm so done with that. And you like pushup, sit ups,

864
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, just your own body weight chin ups, Yes,

865
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: just my own body weight. And then my roommate and

866
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: I just bought a basically a blow up pool that

867
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: can go in our backyard. We don't have a pool,

868
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: so I'm very excited for that. It's actually a dog

869
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: pool for her dog. But I'm definitely going to use

870
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: it with the dog, so I'm I can't wait. That

871
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: is awesome. That is awesome. I can't tell you how

872
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: far away I am from being happy that I have

873
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: actually a weight set in my house. I've got I've

874
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: got like a squat bar, an Olympic bench, I've got

875
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: a an elliptical machine. I've gotten all and I have

876
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: a TV down there. You can watch flat screen TV

877
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: while you're on all that stuff. You're doing it, you know,

878
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: working out. I've got a punch, I've got a big

879
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: heavy bag because you can punch and stuff. And I haven't.

880
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: I haven't been down there in months. And if I

881
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: go down there, it's only because I stored something in there.

882
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: I've I don't work I can't. I have worked out

883
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: when I've retired from the NFL, and it's been a

884
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: long it's been over two decades ago. I look completely

885
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: lost my desired workout and has never returned. While you've

886
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: done it for like every single day of your life

887
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: since you've played good. So I totally understand that I

888
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: started working out when I was eighteen as a freshman

889
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: in college. Different, different world back then. You know, the

890
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: fitness thing was just kind of different in the eighties.

891
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: It was more like, you know, aerobics and you know

892
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: the leg warmers and flashy tights and jumping around in

893
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: a big group. Right, It's not like the work that

894
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, the personalized workouts you get now, where there's

895
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: your resistance training in bands and you know, core training

896
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: and all the stuff that they do now. So it

897
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: was all I started working out when I got to

898
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: freshman football at a community college, and then from that

899
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: moment until I retired at thirty five, there was never

900
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,439
Speaker 1: more than a month that I wasn't working out hard.

901
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: That I was working out hard, and I mean really hard.

902
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: The only end the reason I would take out a

903
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: month or maybe more than that, was if I was

904
00:49:55,560 --> 00:50:00,959
Speaker 1: recovering from a surgery or something. So yeah, totally, yeah,

905
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, I do that does ring

906
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: some sort of bell in my distant past where I

907
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: would get you would get something like that and think, man,

908
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: this is gonna make a difference for this this weight

909
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: set or this dumbbell set or that you know, or

910
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: this new program. Yeah, I can't wait. I wish I

911
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: was six weeks into this program already. I want to

912
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: see what it's gonna do to me and all that

913
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Yeah, I can't. I have nothing on

914
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: my top five list of the weekend that will match that.

915
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,479

927
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. We have to ask the first

928
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: question we always do, how are you doing during the pandemic?

929
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,919
Speaker 1: Is your family safe? And well? Oh my gosh, thank

930
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: you so much for asking. Yeah, we're doing well. You

931
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: know that the challenge for a lot of us. My

932
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: kids are five and two, so it's keeping them entertained

933
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: and making sure that they are you know, mentally sharp

934
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: as well as physically sharp. So I'm happy to report

935
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: that on all fronts, we're doing well. We're playing, you know,

936
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: a lot and having a good time, so we're making it.

937
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing. We're doing okay, working from

938
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: home I think for the first fifth straight month or

939
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: something like that. We started March ninth, and we're still

940
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 1: doing it from our homes, which has become the new norm.

941
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: So we're okay with it. We're looking forward to get

942
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: back on TV, and we're talking about a season that

943
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 1: is just on the brink of maybe starting to think

944
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: about getting started. What are your thoughts on the probabilities

945
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: of the new NFL season, when it will come and

946
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: what it will look like? Well, you know, I know,

947
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: I do know that a lot of people have put

948
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: in a lot of effort to try to make sure

949
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: that we can get back to football, and we're encouraged,

950
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, around the world to see that other sports

951
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: are coming back. Of course, here in America, baseball it's

952
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: going to be ramping up here this week hockey is

953
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: going to be pretty soon. Golf as already back as well,

954
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: and so you look at it and I think, for

955
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, as a as a fan and everything, we

956
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: hope that the players are safe. And I think the

957
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: player's safety is number one. So I've always been optimistic

958
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: that we're going to have a season. I don't know

959
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 1: what it's going to look like, you know, I'm until

960
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: they tell me otherwise, I'm assuming that we're going to

961
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: start on so again, as long as player safety is emphasized,

962
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: I am very hopeful that we're going to get a

963
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: season in him. You wrote an article on NFL dot

964
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: Com of state of the Franchise article on the Bills,

965
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 1: saying that they're ready to take the next step step

966
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: and win the AFC East. Why do you think the

967
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 1: Bills are poised to win the AC East this season? Well,

968
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: one of the things that has stood out to me

969
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: ever since they made the hire Sean McDermott is that

970
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: I felt that he is one of the better coaches

971
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: in the league. I thought it was a fantastic higher

972
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 1: coming off of a huge splashing move like Rex Ryan,

973
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: which to me, and I'll admit this as well, I

974
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 1: thought that was going to be a good fit. Unfortunately

975
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: it didn't work out that way. But sometimes you know,

976
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: the next hire can end up being better. And I

977
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: thought that coming off of his first season where they

978
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: were nine and seven and went to the playoffs, that

979
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: he was already, you know, starting to establish himself as

980
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good coach. And you know, the middle year

981
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: did not go as well. You know, a lot of

982
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: things kind of sell off, the Nathan Peterman thing and

983
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: all like that. But last year showed again that he

984
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. And this is a good young

985
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: team and what they're led by is the defense, and

986
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: the defense is one of the best in the NFL.

987
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: And you'd lose a couple of key players, but made

988
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: a couple of nice pickups during the off season, So

989
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: I love the defense. I'm a fan of Josh Allen.

990
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: I know that, you know, you spend any time on

991
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: social media, they'll meeme him up, they'll make fun of him.

992
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: But I think that they've got a really good one

993
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. So I think that this team is

994
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: ready to compete. The biggest question to me is that

995
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's different when you're the underdog, that hey,

996
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,479
Speaker 1: it's kind of floating underneath the radar. You know, people

997
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: are excited. You know, it's a fun story. Bill Spans

998
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: are amazing, like people are rooting for him. But once

999
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 1: you started to establish yourself as a playoff team, which

1000
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: they've done in two of the last three years, end

1001
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: of May, expectations to get a little bit, a little

1002
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: bit weightier. But I think that they're ready for the challenge.

1003
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,720
Speaker 1: One of the things, Adam, the reason they are sitting

1004
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 1: as maybe poised to take the AFC's title is because

1005
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: New England has changed quite a bit over the last

1006
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: three or four months. They changed. It looked like they

1007
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: dropped off the face of the earth, and then not

1008
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: so much. When they signed Cam Newton. That kind of

1009
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: changed the tenor of what people thought and the Patriots

1010
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: might be able to do. What did that change for you?

1011
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: When the Patriots replaced Tom Brady's absence with Cam Newton's contract,

1012
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: it really doesn't seem fair to me. I mean, it

1013
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: reminds me of nineteen ninety one when Steve Young replaced

1014
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 1: Joe Montana, and you know, you look at replacing one

1015
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer with another. Now, the only difference being

1016
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: is that Cam Newton is a little bit more accomplished

1017
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,479
Speaker 1: than Steve Young was at this point of their career.

1018
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: Both of them were thirty one when they were replacing

1019
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterbacks. But Cam Newton is coming off

1020
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: a stretch where he was pretty much the face of

1021
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: the NFL as recently as twenty fifteen when he won

1022
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: the MVP Award, And while he is battling some injuries,

1023
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: he is still a very talented quarterback that he is

1024
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: going to be somebody who's going to be able to

1025
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: help bridge the gap there for the New England Patriots,

1026
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: so to speak. Now, the only thing that really hurts

1027
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: compared to other years is because of what we talked

1028
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: about at the top here. You know, the difference of

1029
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: working conditions, working from home and NFL players not having

1030
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: the ability to be in the team facility, not being

1031
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: able to work out with their teammates as extensively as

1032
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: they would like. There could be a little bit of

1033
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: a learning curve for Cam as he gets up to

1034
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: speed with the New England offense. But you look at

1035
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels and the success he had with a quarterback

1036
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: like Tim Tebow, I'd look at Cam Newton by the

1037
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: end of the season should be up to speed, and

1038
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: I think that the Patriots are going to be very good. Again.

1039
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: The key though, is will the Bills be able to

1040
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: match that challenge, because that was one of the things

1041
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: going back to last year that even though you were

1042
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: ten and six, still got swept by the Patriots. You know,

1043
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: and obviously the game late in the season didn't matter

1044
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 1: the Bills had wrapped up a playoff spot. But at

1045
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: some point you gotta turn the tide on that rivalry

1046
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: and at least starts plitting those games. And again, I

1047
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: think that the Bills are up for that challenge. Speaking

1048
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: about challenges, when you look at this schedule that the

1049
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: Bills will face, I mean, yes, they're gonna take on

1050
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots twice. And the Patriots are still gonna be

1051
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: talented without Tom Brady. I mean, you have Cam Newton,

1052
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: you still have a tough defense, you have some great

1053
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: offensive weapons, and you have Bill Belichick. But you look

1054
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: at who else they play, and they play the Kent

1055
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, they play the San Francisco forty nine ers,

1056
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: they play the Arizona Cardinals, they play the Seahawks. I mean,

1057
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: they have a tough schedule to go up against and

1058
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,959
Speaker 1: this team is still quite young, with a quarterback who's

1059
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,439
Speaker 1: entering just his third season in the NFL as well,

1060
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: some really young defensive players who are looked at as

1061
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: leaders on this team, a new couple offensive weapons and

1062
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs and players like Zach Moss who are rookies.

1063
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: How do you think they'll take on a tougher schedule. Yeah,

1064
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult, and it starts in Week six

1065
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: when you play hosts of the Kansas City Chiefs and

1066
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: then the Patriots there in Week gate, and you go

1067
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: through a stretch we had the Raiders and Titans and

1068
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: those teams. What you're really looking again is getting to

1069
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: five hundred against the Patriots, just trying to win one

1070
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: of those games, and not that you're trying to lose

1071
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but just having the mindset of,

1072
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: like you really need to take care of business against

1073
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: these teams. When when you talk about the Titans, I

1074
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: think that they could they could be a candidate for

1075
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: regression because they didn't really improve the team as much

1076
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders or a team that I think are going

1077
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: to be improved, and there's gonna it just comes to

1078
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: the continuity of everything, and then in having those players grow,

1079
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: and that's what we need, or what the Bills need,

1080
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: is that have Josh Allen take that extra step and

1081
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: move forward. And we've seen the potential he's gotten them

1082
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, had him in position to win a

1083
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: game had it not been for a illegal call or

1084
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: whatever that was, and you know they were there. And

1085
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: it just comes down to me the quarterback. And we

1086
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: can talk about step Diggs. He should help obviously, having

1087
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: step Diggs and John Brown two guys that can stretch

1088
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: the field. With Cole Beasley, you have one of the

1089
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: best receiver rooms in the NFL. It really comes down

1090
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen and how he's able to grow as

1091
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback. And again, the ability is there. I have

1092
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,479
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in him, and I think having

1093
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs there to rely on is going to help

1094
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: him out immensely. One of the other things about this

1095
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: season come by from Maddy mentioned the schedule. I mean,

1096
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: they've got Week three versus Los Angeles Rams, They've got

1097
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: Week six versus the Chiefs in Buffalo on a Thursday night,

1098
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: and then late in the season they've got four what

1099
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: looked like four primetime games Sunday night games, Thursday night games,

1100
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: they got a Saturday afternoon scheduled game in Vegas. This

1101
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: is a team that by all looks has a roster

1102
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: that even the TV networks are willing to bet on.

1103
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: And they've got this and you said this coaching staff

1104
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: who has gotten the most out of it. They've developed

1105
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: young players along during their three years here. They've got

1106
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: some way of developed player development that keeps them strong

1107
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: late in seasons. What do you think the final ingredient is?

1108
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: Certainly Josh Allen's development has a lot to do with that,

1109
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: But um, what could what could be the next tangible

1110
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: step this club takes in maybe not just supporting Josh Allen,

1111
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: but just getting over that hump of maybe winning a

1112
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots, sweeping the Patriots, winning games that

1113
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: they on the road in San Francisco, those kind of things,

1114
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: those big steps that good teams seem to be able

1115
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, it's having the confidence to do it

1116
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: and believing that when you go into games like that

1117
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to win. And last year

1118
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: they flexed the game with the Pittsburgh Steelers to Sunday

1119
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: night football, and they went out and they won, and

1120
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: and and again that the Steelers were without Ben Roethlisberger.

1121
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: But don't don't worry about that. This was a primetime

1122
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: moment and this was an opportunity for the Bills to

1123
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: make a statement. And you know, you've seen young teams

1124
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: in the past to fold in similar type situations. But

1125
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: here they were going up against the Steelers, the team

1126
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: with the history, the NFL pedigree, one of the blue

1127
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: bloods of the league. And yet the Bills still went

1128
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: out and win those games, won that game. Excuse me.

1129
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: So it is important that when they're in these marquee

1130
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: matchup games that they come out and they win. And

1131
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: they open up the season with two AFC East foes.

1132
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: They go up against the Dolphins and the Jets, and

1133
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: that's fine. And you mentioned the game against the Rams

1134
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: in week three. Now, ideally you would get the Rams

1135
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: late in the year, that West Coast team coming to

1136
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Upstate New York. But I still believe that in Week three,

1137
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: this is a huge opportunity. This is going to be

1138
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: a game that a lot of people are going to

1139
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: have eyes on. And if you go out and you

1140
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: beat a team like the Rams, who were in the

1141
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl two years ago that starts to build the momentum.

1142
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of my golf, you know. We saw it

1143
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: the other day where Bryson Deshambeau shanks a drive into

1144
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: out of bounds and then ends up with a ten.

1145
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Those kind of things snowball. But when you have good

1146
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: shots and you start putting together wins, it snowballs in

1147
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: the other direction as well, and you start winning games.

1148
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: And I think that is going to be the key,

1149
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: and I think that Week three is going to be

1150
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: one of those true tests. We know a lot of

1151
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: this falls on Josh Allen's shoulders. Yes he's young, but

1152
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: he's the leader of this team, and this team is

1153
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: only going to go as far as Josh Allen takes them.

1154
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: They average nineteen point six points per game last season,

1155
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: which wasn't enough. The other eleven teams who made it

1156
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,959
Speaker 1: to the playoffs average at about twenty six point six

1157
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: points per games. So obviously they need to get to

1158
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: the end zone more and score more points. But what

1159
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: do you think Josh Allen's biggest hurdle is that he

1160
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: needs to get over in order to have a successful

1161
01:02:55,120 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. A lot of these times for young quarterbacks,

1162
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: they they need to be ready, They need the experience,

1163
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: they need to go out there and play games and

1164
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: one of them and just get that get those snaps.

1165
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: I think what we see in the NFL right now

1166
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: is we expect the quarterbacks to be so good immediately

1167
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: that it's almost unfair. There was a time where these

1168
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks would struggle when they would first reach the NFL level.

1169
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: I think is somebody like John Elway, who had a

1170
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: little bit of trouble in his first couple of years

1171
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: before he finally eventually got to go. We talked about

1172
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: Steve Young, another guy who didn't really set the NFL

1173
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: on fire during his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

1174
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: but eventually got it going. And so the one thing

1175
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: that I have confidence with Josh Allen is that he's athletic.

1176
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: He can run the ball. He reminds me we talk

1177
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: about Cam Newton. Josh Allen is like the current version

1178
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton with his ability to run the football,

1179
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: and he is still a good quarterback. They've surrounded him

1180
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: with talent. I think Dawson Knox as a player who

1181
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: was drafted last year who has some ability to I

1182
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: hate to put the comparison to Rob Gron not enough

1183
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: to keep me from doing it, but you know he's

1184
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: he could be their version of Rod Gonkowski Dak Moss.

1185
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a West Coast guy. I saw enough

1186
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: Utah games to know that he is going to be

1187
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: a player. So I think that they've surrounded him with

1188
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: the talent. It's just about making the decisions. I know

1189
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: last year in the playoff game against the against the Texans,

1190
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: there was the the ill advised flip to Dawson Docks

1191
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: when he didn't need to do it. There was the

1192
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: horrific stack that he took, but he still put the

1193
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: team in a position to win the game. So it's

1194
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: about getting that confidence, staying healthy, and I think that

1195
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be able to do it. How much

1196
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: is Steph Diggs gonna help this team? Love it? I

1197
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: think that he is one of the best receivers in

1198
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. And in full disclosure, I was born in Chicago,

1199
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: so I'm a Bears fan. I did not like seeing

1200
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs on the field. I didn't and I didn't

1201
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: care for him in that way as a as a

1202
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: as a biased Bears fan. But now that he's in

1203
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo and I can root for him. I'm a static

1204
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 1: and I think that that's one of the things that

1205
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: it fits Josh Allen's game. You know, John Brown was

1206
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: amazing last year and Josh Allen has been great throwing

1207
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: the ball deep. I don't think that there's anybody in

1208
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: the league who even statistically is better than Josh Allen

1209
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: throwing the football deep. And with two field stretchers like

1210
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 1: John Brown and Stefon Diggs, that is going to open

1211
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: things up. Number One, Cole Beasley is an underrated slop receiver.

1212
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Talked about Dawson Knox his ability to take the next step,

1213
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: and you have a solid running game. But I think

1214
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: it all comes down to having guys that can get

1215
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: down the field that forces the safeties to play back

1216
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. That's going to open it up underneath.

1217
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: It's going to be incumbent on Josh Allen to take

1218
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: advantage of those situations, whether it's dumping it off to

1219
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: his running back out of the backfield, or even tucking

1220
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: it and run, which he has the ability to do. So.

1221
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a huge asset for them,

1222
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: and I think that the price that they paid, while steep,

1223
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: and let's ignore DeAndre Hopkins got for the Texans. That

1224
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: was the going price. And if you could put a

1225
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,959
Speaker 1: first round pick on Stefon Diggs, I think you would

1226
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: do it at any point. And I think it's gonna

1227
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very helpful all the way around.

1228
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm from Chicago as well born and rays grew up

1229
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: cheering for the Chicago Bears, but obviously I cheer for

1230
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: the Bills. Now. How can the Bills avoid being like

1231
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: the Bears last season? You had Mitch Trubisky, you had

1232
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: an offensive line, you had Khalil Mack, you had some

1233
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: other great defensive players, but they couldn't put it together

1234
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: and they had a pretty awful season. So how can

1235
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: the Bills avoid something like that? I do understand both

1236
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: both of the rosters are quite different, but we don't

1237
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: want the Bills to be like the Bears last year.

1238
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: And you know, and I did have to make the

1239
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: comparison because there is some similarity for all the reasons

1240
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: that you said no, but it's true, like there's a

1241
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: lot like there is a lot of Mitch Trubisky in

1242
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and I see it when I watch them play.

1243
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 1: The difference is and I think that the Bears season

1244
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 1: last year was a disaster because the expectations that were

1245
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: put on the Bears for rightly so. But they still

1246
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: finished eight and eight, so it wasn't like they didn't

1247
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: crater completely. They were still middle of the pack, which

1248
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, again wasn't didn't wasn't satisfactory from a fan's perspective.

1249
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 1: But if you look at what happened to that team,

1250
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 1: why they fell apart. Number one, a Keen Hicks got

1251
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: hurt in the game in London against the Raiders that

1252
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: allowed the Raiders to rally and beat them. The Bears

1253
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: run defense was never the same, so that was a factor.

1254
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: He had an offensive line that had injuries. My guy

1255
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Long was battling, you know, trying his best to

1256
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: gut it out, and that was unfortunate. The offensive line

1257
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: faltered a little bit and Trubisky got hurt, you know,

1258
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: in two games or twice in two seasons. Harrison Smith

1259
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: his hit Mitch Trubisky that has caused him to have

1260
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: an injury, and so fighting through that as well. So

1261
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: to me, and you can never predict injuries. It's a

1262
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: bill that was the biggest to me, the biggest pratfall

1263
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: for the Bears last year was the injuries, and so

1264
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: I think it's the Bills can stay healthy and Josh

1265
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: Allen is healthy and ready to go, they're going to be.

1266
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: If not in the playoffs, they're right there. I think

1267
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: they're they're nine win team for sure, maybe more, and

1268
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: depending on how well the the AFC East can can play.

1269
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: But I think that if they avoid injuries, this is

1270
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: going to be a very good season for the Buffalo Bills.

1271
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,560
Speaker 1: What do you think most people around the country you

1272
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: are missing about the Buffalo Bills? You know, I still

1273
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 1: think that. I know that it's so hard to say

1274
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: because it's the NFL is so different than other sports.

1275
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: It said, I don't buy the small market things and

1276
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: anything like that, and the marquee matchups and everything. But

1277
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: I think that because of the lack of success against

1278
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, I think that hurts a little bit.

1279
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: I think that the Bills had been battling the Patriots

1280
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,600
Speaker 1: and splitting games every year, I think there would be

1281
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more national regard. But I do believe

1282
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 1: that people are starting to catch onto the secret. It's

1283
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: it's like watching a show that's starting to gather steam.

1284
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: It's like we missed the first season of Parks and Wrecked,

1285
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden, everybody got into it, and

1286
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,560
Speaker 1: by seasons three and four people were fans. And I

1287
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: think that the growing sentiment amongst people is that the

1288
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 1: Bills are a team on the rise that people are

1289
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 1: starting to take take note of. And you know, they're

1290
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 1: starting to play, like you said, you know, those primetime games,

1291
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: getting out not only getting those primetime opportunities but making

1292
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: the most of them. And so the game against Pittsburgh

1293
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: last year was a huge step. And if they would

1294
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: have beaten the Texans, which they could have done, there

1295
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: was an entertaining game, nonetheless, But if they get into

1296
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 1: those those games and start winning them and putting it

1297
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: out there, I think people are going to catch up

1298
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: with what the Bills have got going on, because again,

1299
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: even though they made the playoffs last year, there's still

1300
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of an under the radar team to

1301
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:08,440
Speaker 1: most national casual fans. But I think that that perception

1302
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:10,759
Speaker 1: can change, and it just comes down to winning games

1303
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: and winning marquee games. I've got one more question for you,

1304
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: has to do with fantasy football. So people who are listening,

1305
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: who are some players that are on the Bills that

1306
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: fantasy football people should pick up, whether it's on their

1307
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 1: roster or people that they're going to put on their

1308
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 1: bench and use for later. Give me a few names

1309
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: that should be on our radars. Well. I love Josh Allen.

1310
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,839
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of fantasy scoring is skewed

1311
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: towards quarterbacks who can run the football, especially quarterbacks that

1312
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: can call their own number when they get near the

1313
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,839
Speaker 1: goal line and score those touchdowns get some cheap points

1314
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,600
Speaker 1: for us. But I do believe that Stefon Diggs is

1315
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: being undervalued in leagues. And you know, Josh Allen has

1316
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: shown that he can support two receivers who can finish

1317
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: in the top thirty six, which would be wide receiver threes.

1318
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 1: So I like both Digs. I like John Brown as well.

1319
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,520
Speaker 1: You know, the last time the Bills had two receivers

1320
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: go for more than two thousand yards, I was wont

1321
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and two Peerless Price and Eric Molds. I

1322
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: believe it was, and so I love this Bill's offense.

1323
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: I do believe that Zack Moss is being slept on

1324
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: in draft too, because we like Devin Singletary. He averaged

1325
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 1: over five yards to carry. But Frank Gore was in

1326
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 1: the mix last year too, So I think there's gonna

1327
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: be some opportunities. And we see the running back by

1328
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:35,600
Speaker 1: position be prevalent in the NFL. So I think that

1329
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Zack Moss is a sneaky little player and Dawson again,

1330
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to come out and just continue

1331
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: to repeat the love for Dawson Knox, but I really

1332
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: like this player. I really think that he can take

1333
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 1: a step up. I know a lot of people if

1334
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: you miss out on one of the top tight ends

1335
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 1: in the game, you got your big three, got Kelsey, Kittle,

1336
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 1: zach Ertz that if you're waiting on tight ends and

1337
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: you're looking for some deeply for in addition to guys

1338
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: like Blake Jarwin, I'm also looking at Dawson Knox. Adam,

1339
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on with us. We really appreciate it,

1340
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 1: and we're glad your family's doing safe and being safe

1341
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: and well during the pandemic. Good Luck the rest of

1342
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: the way. I hope to see you throughout the season. Hey,

1343
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: thanks so much. If I can, if I might say

1344
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 1: one thing too, there's another article that I have on

1345
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: NFL dot com, and it was wrote. It was written

1346
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, and it was talking about

1347
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: people who should be in the Hall of Fame, and

1348
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: at number five I had Steve tas and I listen,

1349
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: this is not a hot take, and I am passionate

1350
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: about this. You were a seven time All Pro according

1351
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 1: to Pro Football Weekly. NFL coaches come out all the

1352
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: time and they talk about all three phases of the game.

1353
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: You've got to win all three phases, and there were

1354
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: not if. I can't think of anybody who is better

1355
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: than Steve Taskers. So I waited to the end because

1356
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm a big chicken and I'm shaking right now because

1357
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm super scared saying this. But Steve, I think you

1358
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, and I

1359
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: hope to see you in Canton someday. Given the speech,

1360
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: getting the bus because you absolutely deserve it. And Adam

1361
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:11,719
Speaker 1: crushing his credibility right before he goes off. Adam, thanks, Adam,

1362
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: that's really nicey, I appreciate it, and um, and yeah,

1363
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,520
Speaker 1: that is that's awesome to hear. I I appreciate the conversation.

1364
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 1: But let's not hold our breath, but thank you so

1365
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: much for coming on. Thank you, Steve, thank you. I

1366
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: appreciate it, and let's talk soon, all right. Adam Ranked,

1374
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bill's Radio. This is presented by Kalida Health

1375
01:13:52,920 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: and this is One Bill's Live. Welcome back to one

1376
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: of those lives. Steve Tasker, Matti lab here. Until three,

1377
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 1: we just had Adam Rank on. He's the NFL dot

1378
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 1: Com fantasy football analyst, he's been with the NFL since

1379
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: ninety five. Had a lot of fun stuff to talk about.

1380
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: He was real high on the Bills. Wrote a big

1381
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: State of the Bills article on NFL dot com, and uh,

1382
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 1: we had him on and had him chit chat about that.

1383
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 1: He's he's thinking lots of good stuff about the Bills

1384
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 1: and it all kind of comes down to a little

1385
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 1: bit about Josh Allen. But it's also comes down to

1386
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:31,639
Speaker 1: whether we have a season at all. The NFL owners

1387
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,719
Speaker 1: are meeting today. They've been proposed, it's been reported now, Maddie.

1388
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:38,520
Speaker 1: While we were on with Adam Rank, just one preseason

1389
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: the bill, you know, the owners said, well, I will

1390
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: have a whole full preseason slate, and he's now, we

1391
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 1: just have two preseason games. How about one preseason game? Now,

1392
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: that's their latest proposal, one preseason game. The players don't

1393
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: want any. I'm beginning to think, you know what, just

1394
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: that's right. Just if you players want it, give it

1395
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 1: to him this year. Take a big hit this year,

1396
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: play the law, play pay the play these big, huge

1397
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: losses you're gonna get in this NFL business against the

1398
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: losses of your other businesses, and just go and just

1399
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: let them play. You'll get some, you'll get your television money,

1400
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 1: the game will go on, and you'll come back stronger

1401
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 1: a year from now. That's that's might take. But they've

1402
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 1: offered one preseason game as it stands right now. Is

1403
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 1: that that's kind of what we thought, Yeah, kind of

1404
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: what we thought one preseason game. But like you said,

1405
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 1: the players don't want any. And at this point, if

1406
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:36,440
Speaker 1: the players don't want any because that's what medical experts

1407
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: from the NFL and NFLPA are suggesting. So you can

1408
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 1: have that twenty one day acclamation period, then you should

1409
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: just have no preseason games. I know a preseason game

1410
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: helps with roster, helps you figure out what the roster

1411
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,720
Speaker 1: is gonna look like. And also they want to do

1412
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 1: that one preseason game so you can figure out how

1413
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:59,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna how a game day is going to look

1414
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: for a COVID protocol standpoints, So from everything to getting

1415
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 1: players in the building, to traveling teams to all of that,

1416
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,680
Speaker 1: there's probably a lot of things that have to be

1417
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 1: figured out that they want to run through to a

1418
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: drive run through before week one happens and before teams

1419
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 1: starts to travel, which I do understand, but maybe you

1420
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: can simulate something like that even with people who are

1421
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Yeah. One of the things about it, this

1422
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 1: is one of the rare occasions, Maddie where our Twitter

1423
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: poll actually has a correct answer. We asked what was

1424
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: kind of come out of the owner's meeting today following

1425
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: that we want to play campaign put on by all

1426
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:40,520
Speaker 1: the high profile players over the weekend, and the majority

1427
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,639
Speaker 1: were actually correct. They said the news coming out will

1428
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: be a one game preseason at least, that's what the

1429
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: owners have proposed. I don't know if they'll actually get done,

1430
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:51,679
Speaker 1: but that's what they proposed. And then other people said

1431
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 1: thirty six percent said, nah, there's not going to be

1432
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: no news at all. Only fourteen percent thought the players

1433
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: would get everything they wanted. Ten percent had something else

1434
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:03,759
Speaker 1: going on. So we're still kind of formulating what's gonna happen.

1435
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 1: The NFL is put that out there. They still want

1436
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 1: to have one preseason game. They want to run through

1437
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:12,599
Speaker 1: a game day scenario with the COVID protocols in shape.

1438
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure in place, I'm sure, but we'll see. We'll

1439
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,440
Speaker 1: look for it, and if as we get more information

1440
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: about the owner's meetings and anything that's going on, we

1441
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: will relay it to you. But right now, let's go

1442
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 1: to our menu and let's see what's for lunch. Are

1443
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: you ready, Maddie, let's do it all right, since we

1444
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 1: got we got a couple of minutes, I'm gonna pick

1445
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: through and I'm gonna say, all right, here we go,

1446
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 1: just Todd Gurley or Melvin Gordon. There's two running backs.

1447
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 1: Both hit home runs. With their contract, big name running backs.

1448
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: Who's going to have a better season with their new team?

1449
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. I think he is going to have a

1450
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: better season. I think he's the better running back. I

1451
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: think I like his where he fits with the Atlanta Falcons,

1452
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: and I am excited to watch him play this season.

1453
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Melvin Gordon. I think Todd Gurley.

1454
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I question his health. He's got that arthritic

1455
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: knee helped him kept him out of an enormous part

1456
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: of the game of game some a bunch of games.

1457
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: It's it's an ongoing problem. They say it's not gonna

1458
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: get any better. Surgery is not gonna help. But it's

1459
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 1: just one of those things he's gonna live with until

1460
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: he can't live with it anymore. So I'm gonna go

1461
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: with Melvin Gordon because I think he'll be on the

1462
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 1: field more than Todd Gurley. That's what I think. What's

1463
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: for lunch? Item number two on the menu. Better player

1464
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 1: to wear Number fifty five, the number fifty five. This

1465
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 1: might be before with your time, Maddie, you may not

1466
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: be old enough for this. Derek Brooks or Junior say out,

1467
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:47,560
Speaker 1: this is before my time. But let's see, say I

1468
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 1: went to twelve pro balls, eight time first team All Pro,

1469
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 1: second time, it's two time second team All Pro. It's

1470
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: NFL Defensive Player of the Year in nineteen ninety two,

1471
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: the NFL Man in the Year in ninety four. Derek

1472
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: Brooks was a Super Bowl champion, eleven time Pro bowler,

1473
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 1: five time first Team All Pro, won the Walter Peyton

1474
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: Man of the Year in two thousand, Defensive Player of

1475
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: the Year two thousand and two. Who are you choosing, Steve?

1476
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 1: I played with and against Junior. I'll pick him. I

1477
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: don't I know. Derek Brooks is a tremendous guy too,

1478
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of guys speak the world

1479
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 1: about him, But I knew Junior um I need. Given

1480
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 1: even the tragedy that ended his life, there was a

1481
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:44,679
Speaker 1: few players I ever played with that would that had

1482
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: the ability with their personality and their humor and who

1483
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: they were and their abilities, and you know, who could

1484
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:58,799
Speaker 1: rally a club as with with the cheerfulness that Junior

1485
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: sayout did. I've rarely met a guy who played with

1486
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: more joy and overt happiness than Junior. You see all

1487
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 1: these players in the stereotypical guys that are they kind

1488
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: of get this warrior mentality were it's all about anger

1489
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: and combat, combat and and how we're gonna you know,

1490
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: it's like a fight kind of thing. And Junior had

1491
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: the personality that he was happy. He was just full

1492
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 1: of joy when he played. He says, let's play and

1493
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: that was why the way he did it, and guys

1494
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 1: jumped on board with that. Man was he a lot

1495
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: of fun to get to know with the Pro Bowls

1496
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 1: and all of those things. So I'm I would say

1497
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 1: Junior just because of my experiences with him, he was

1498
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: a different cat. And it's too bad he's not. He's

1499
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 1: no longer with us, But that's who I would say.

1500
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: And he was a guy. He was a stud from

1501
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: the both of these guys. They were the guy from

1502
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: the moment they put on a helmet in the pros,

1503
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: they were. They were a top flight, both of them.

1504
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: In the Hall of Fame as well. Good for them.

1505
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 1: All right, you'll take Derek Burke's I'll take Junior. Say out,

1506
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 1: did you take somebody? I didn't take anybody. Let's see

1507
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: which one did you take? Now that I've talked to

1508
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: you before my time, let's just move along. Better visiting

1509
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 1: stadium US Bank Stadium in Minnesota or century Link Field

1510
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 1: in Seattle. I've only seen century Link. I haven't. I've

1511
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: watched games from Minnesota, of course, but I've never been there.

1512
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: I've been to century Link in person and also watched

1513
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: a game there from the sidelines and also in the stands.

1514
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: So you tell me which one's yours, Minnesota's new Stadium

1515
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,839
Speaker 1: or century Link Field in Seattle. Is it a better

1516
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: visiting stadium in terms of what's easier for visiting teams

1517
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 1: to play in? Because from that person back, no, no,

1518
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 1: I think it has. I think it's about amenities, how

1519
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: nice it is, how you know outside, the atmosphere, outside

1520
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:56,480
Speaker 1: game day atmosphere, the food when you're in there, yagyag.

1521
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Either you haven't been to either all. I'll say Seattle.

1522
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:09,840
Speaker 1: Let me introduce you to this restaurant, Seattle's rest Seattle's

1523
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 1: uh Seattles. I have always said the century Link Field

1524
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,679
Speaker 1: in Seattle is a work of art. Yeah, it really,

1525
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 1: it's it's an absolute work of art. It is built

1526
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 1: with um. The sky you can look out one in

1527
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 1: and it's the skyline of downtown Seattle, and it looks

1528
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 1: like it's growing right out of the back of the

1529
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:34,599
Speaker 1: end zone is right there, and the other side out

1530
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 1: over the top of the stadium or the mountain, the

1531
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 1: snow capped peaks of the mountains. Uh. This the field

1532
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 1: itself is set up extremely well there. It's a it

1533
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 1: really is a work of arts. It's it's a fantastic facility.

1534
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: I have not I've only heard about Minnesota Stadium US

1535
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: Bank Stadium, but I have all I've heard nothing but

1536
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 1: stellar things about it. It's it's unique, it's downtown, It's

1537
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,160
Speaker 1: where it should be. It's indoors, which you guys to

1538
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:04,639
Speaker 1: be in Minnesota. I you know, I played I played

1539
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl in Minneapolis, but it was in the

1540
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: Hubert Humphrey Dome, which was one of the old time domes,

1541
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 1: one of the blow up kind. This one is hardcovered,

1542
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 1: and I think it's I think it's when I watched

1543
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: the Bills play there three years ago or two years ago. Um,

1544
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: that's the Josh Allen Leap game. I was like, wow

1545
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 1: that I liked the way it looked. It looked fantastic

1546
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 1: on television. I'm a I'm a fan of having games indoors,

1547
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 1: particularly in Buffalo, particularly in Minnesota. Chicago should have a game.

1548
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 1: I should have a roof on their stadium. Um, Green Bay.

1549
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 1: You know all these towns, all these towns that are

1550
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 1: like that. Seattle too. I mean it gets nasty out

1551
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 1: there as well. So I'm kind of a Minnesota indoor

1552
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: US Bank Stadium guy. I think that's my opinion people

1553
01:23:56,439 --> 01:24:00,080
Speaker 1: from games that I've seen on TV. Seattle Stadium and

1554
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 1: looks cooler for sure. All right, here's another one. Who's

1555
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: the worst visiting stadium? Is it FedEx Field in Washington, DC?

1556
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 1: Or t IAA Bank Field in Jacksonville? Also, have never

1557
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:19,640
Speaker 1: been to either. I've been to both these. This is

1558
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 1: all right, this is almost no brainer here. The worst

1559
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,640
Speaker 1: place to play is FedEx Field. That's what I was

1560
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:35,520
Speaker 1: gonna say. You gotta stop like a mile from the stadium.

1561
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 1: It takes you can't get near the stadium in a

1562
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:42,680
Speaker 1: vehicle because of security for whatever reason. The parking is

1563
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: a is atrocious. It's a wreck. It's in a bad spot.

1564
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: This place where it is is bad. It's just it's

1565
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: just awful. Jacksonville. You can drive right there, walk right in,

1566
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 1: no matter what. You know. Now, the stadium itself, yeah,

1567
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:59,799
Speaker 1: it's it's a little old and dilapidated at least FedEx

1568
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: f Yield. You know, it used to be really nice.

1569
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 1: Now it's it's been neglected a little bit, and they're

1570
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 1: they're asking for a new stadium. They want to move.

1571
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 1: So I get that. But FedEx Field is awful both

1572
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 1: for broadcasting. Well all that. I just think it's it's

1573
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 1: just awful. So that's the worst one. All right, there

1574
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 1: we go. We gotta get one that you have actual

1575
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: an opinion about. What about Super Bowl Pat's over Falcons

1576
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: and super Bowl fifty one or Pats over Seahawks and

1577
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:34,599
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? What does that forty four? Is that four?

1578
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: Is that right? Step forty four? Which number is that?

1579
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 1: X L I X, I can't remember? Forty nine, forty nine? Right?

1580
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 1: All right? Super Bowl one nine, the comeback, the comebacks

1581
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 1: super Bowl? The Patriots over the Falcons or the Patriots

1582
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:55,759
Speaker 1: over the Seahawks in forty nine when they intercepted the pass.

1583
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots over the Seahawks is a better

1584
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I remember remember where I was watching that game.

1585
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 1: I was living in California, so I was watching it

1586
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 1: with a bunch of Seahawks fans. And to watch that

1587
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 1: game are so excited and happy, and the whole like

1588
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: restaurant that we were sitting in was filled with Seahawks fans.

1589
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:21,720
Speaker 1: What happened and then to see that happen, Oh my gosh,

1590
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:27,760
Speaker 1: that place just became basically a funeral. It was insane.

1591
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:32,480
Speaker 1: But yes, I do think Super Bowl forty nine was

1592
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:40,719
Speaker 1: was better for me because I remember everything about it. Okay, yeah,

1593
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: I kind of remember. I think I can think that

1594
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: one too. I like games that are competitive year throughout.

1595
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:48,720
Speaker 1: And the Pats over the Falcons. It was twenty eight

1596
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 1: to three, and of course the Patriots came back and

1597
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 1: beat them in overtime, and it's the only Super Bowl

1598
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 1: go into overtime. But the way it happened, I like

1599
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 1: the I like the competitive game of the Pats and

1600
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 1: Seahawks even better. That's what I would take. I would

1601
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 1: take this Pat's over Seahawks as well. Which all right,

1602
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: let's see, Okay, we gotta go for a break. Thanks,

1603
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 1: good stuff. That was what's for lunch, Maddie. We'll come back.

1610
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,599
Speaker 1: We asked you, what do you think is gonna come

1611
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: to the owners meetings today? After the we want to

1612
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 1: play campaign stage by a lot of superstar NFL football

1613
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:46,680
Speaker 1: players on Twitter over the weekend. They all tweeted out

1614
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:50,680
Speaker 1: about wanting to play this season, but just asking the

1615
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: league to do exactly what their medical experts have recommended

1616
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: they do. The league is trying to do a little

1617
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,640
Speaker 1: bit less than that. The league wants to have a

1618
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 1: preseason games and they put it down to just two

1619
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: preseason games. Now today we have been informed that they

1620
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: have proposed just one preseason game for the NFL season,

1621
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 1: with a run up at requested by the players. Yes,

1622
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen with this

1623
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: owner's meeting? What do you think they'll decide anything? There

1624
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 1: will be no new news or will there be? The

1625
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 1: players get all their demands? Only fourteen percent If you

1626
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,960
Speaker 1: think the players are gonna get everything they want? Thirty

1627
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 1: six percent say there's gonna be no news, and the

1628
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 1: bulk of you, almost forty percent, say there's going to

1629
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 1: be at least one preseason game. That's what the owners

1630
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:41,679
Speaker 1: have proposed. That was the proposal today, and ten percent

1631
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 1: of you think it's going to be something other than

1632
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:47,599
Speaker 1: these choices. We also have the tweet sheet, Maddie, and

1633
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:51,839
Speaker 1: from Tiffany. On the tweet sheet, it says this definitely

1634
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 1: a reduction in the amount of preseason games and then

1635
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 1: additionally adding to the roster limits. It's gonna take a

1636
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 1: deeper roster to navigates the season. Practice squad play should

1637
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:03,599
Speaker 1: be protected by the team and that has their rights.

1638
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: Um that would be different, Mattie, because you know this

1639
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 1: that the practice squad, they're all free agents. So if

1640
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 1: you ever practice got in your practice squad, he can

1641
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 1: go to any team who decides they need to have

1642
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,679
Speaker 1: him on their squad that week. But they do have

1643
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: the ability the requirement that if they do pick up

1644
01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 1: a player from your practice squad, they got to suit

1645
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 1: him up and playing that week. So I agree with that.

1646
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 1: I think they are the roster thing. To me, it

1647
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:36,719
Speaker 1: boggles my mind that they've been toying with only bringing

1648
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 1: seventy or eighty players to camp instead of the limit.

1649
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it's just the op you got to do

1650
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 1: just the opposite. You gotta have like nine gazillion guys,

1651
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: and you got to keep him on your roster too,

1652
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:54,160
Speaker 1: just in case and the outbreak happen. Yeah, I think.

1653
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's um, there's just a that's what you

1654
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 1: gotta do. You gotta have more guys to cover from

1655
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:02,800
Speaker 1: when guys going down with the virus. I don't know

1656
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 1: why they're going the other direction or trying to go

1657
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 1: the other direction, but here we are, and I don't

1658
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 1: know whatever what else we have from the tweet sheet,

1659
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:15,920
Speaker 1: you have that in front of you. Yes, sorry, Wandering

1660
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:19,680
Speaker 1: Jack says. I think we will get some preseason resolution.

1661
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 1: I think to appease the players, they will further shorten

1662
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:26,719
Speaker 1: to one warm up game. Maybe we see a joint

1663
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:30,160
Speaker 1: practice after COVID testing and scrimmage. But it will be

1664
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:34,680
Speaker 1: a compromise with the players who want no ps and

1665
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:45,559
Speaker 1: the owners and coaches who want to so no preseason. Yeah, well,

1666
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 1: let's see, the preseason is not going to is going away.

1667
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 1: I think, I just I don't think they're even gonna

1668
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,880
Speaker 1: have a joint practice. I just I think it's getting

1669
01:30:57,920 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 1: to the point where this thing and listen, you guys

1670
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 1: get ready to play, keep your teams healthy, and we're

1671
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna go, and we'll at least get one week in

1672
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:09,720
Speaker 1: and then we'll see how we can do it. And

1673
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not so soul. I mean, I get it.

1674
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,280
Speaker 1: It'd almost be unthinkable to throw rookie into his first

1675
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:23,439
Speaker 1: NFL game having had no preseason action at all. Just

1676
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 1: turn them loose and there they go. I have a

1677
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:30,160
Speaker 1: hard time with that, but I think it may be

1678
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 1: the rule of law by the time we get to

1679
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,520
Speaker 1: the season. I just don't think preseason games are a necessity.

1680
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 1: It puts a little pressure on the coaching staff to

1681
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:44,240
Speaker 1: get young players who who may who you know, who

1682
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 1: don't know, who've never seen an NFL game or been

1683
01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 1: in one. Just turn them loose. And I think it's

1684
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 1: a year where you'd need a lot of continuity. And

1685
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but I think it's another

1686
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 1: thing that plays into the Bills camp. We've said it

1687
01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 1: early on in the offseason. They got a ton of

1688
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,240
Speaker 1: guys coming back who you know, it's a hard roster

1689
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: to make, let alone come in and start and play

1690
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:08,840
Speaker 1: games for You really need to have some time under

1691
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:11,120
Speaker 1: your belt in the NFL to can I be considered,

1692
01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:14,360
Speaker 1: I think to start on this team. Maybe Zach Moss

1693
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 1: would be an exception to that, like Devin Singletary was

1694
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 1: a year ago. But even that, I mean, you're not

1695
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 1: going to start him over Devin Singletary if everything's healthy.

1696
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 1: The real, the real question is what happens if they

1697
01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 1: get close and then they got no. They have no

1698
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 1: choice the first time the kid is going to see

1699
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 1: the field as an NFL player, he's starting because six

1700
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 1: guys got COVID and he barely knows where to line

1701
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:43,439
Speaker 1: up or what. We're worse yet, some guy who was,

1702
01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, making pizzas on Monday, got the call on Wednesday,

1703
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 1: and now he's starting in the NFL game the next Sunday,

1704
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:59,599
Speaker 1: six days later. I mean, right now, if that happened.

1705
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:03,880
Speaker 1: Hopefully there's enough practice squad players where that's not even

1706
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:08,000
Speaker 1: a concern. But I do think we'll see scenarios throughout

1707
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,280
Speaker 1: the season where you have to sit a player who

1708
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:16,719
Speaker 1: is a star or a starter because they may test

1709
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:20,679
Speaker 1: positive for COVID. All right, we're gonna take a break,

1710

1724
01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:25,960

Speaker 1: gonna look like when they actually show up. Interestingly enough,

1726
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 1: we also have a lot going on with the Bill's roster,

1727

1730
01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 1: gonna happen in training camp. The one that we're gonna

1731
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:48,200
Speaker 1: talk about right now is in camp countdown twenty twenty

1732
01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 1: will be who this guard starting right tackle is going

1733
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:52,880
Speaker 1: to be? Uh? Cody Ford was a guy who was

1734
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:56,760
Speaker 1: a high draft pick last year, UH and came in

1735
01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:01,160
Speaker 1: and rotated between guard and tackle. And Maddie during the break,

1736
01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 1: we were talking about you know what this might look like,

1737
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 1: and you brought up a really good point about last

1738
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:11,800
Speaker 1: year and how it might affect this year. Yeah. I

1739
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:16,040
Speaker 1: mean last season Cody Ford rotated through right guard and

1740
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: right tackle, and you look at this season and where

1741
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,639
Speaker 1: is he at? Are they going to put him at

1742
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:25,320
Speaker 1: right tackle? Is he going to rotate through right guard

1743
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 1: and right tackle? Again? If he does, does he really

1744
01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 1: have a position that he belongs to? I mean, if

1745
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:39,479
Speaker 1: you rotate someone through two positions two years in a row,

1746
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 1: when are they going to find their home? And rotating

1747
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 1: someone through two positions during their rookie season, it's it's

1748
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:50,559
Speaker 1: tough to tell what that position is going to be

1749
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:54,160
Speaker 1: for that player, regardless of if it's offensive line or

1750
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 1: defensive line. You have to learn the playbook, You have

1751
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 1: to learn the offense. You have to unders stand the

1752
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,879
Speaker 1: person next to you. Offensive line is unlike any other position.

1753
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 1: You have to know what your standard is doing. You

1754
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:07,920
Speaker 1: have to know what your tackle is doing. You have

1755
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 1: to know what your guard is doing. You work as

1756
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 1: one and for someone entering the league as a rookie,

1757
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:15,160
Speaker 1: it's a lot to take on in that first season,

1758
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 1: and I don't think you can necessarily judge someone based

1759
01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: on one year of play, especially that being a rookie season,

1760
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 1: when you're just trying to take it all in. I

1761
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,960
Speaker 1: think in year two you can forget about the playbook

1762
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:33,799
Speaker 1: and kind of just play and react. You're not thinking

1763
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 1: every second before the ball is snapped, what do I do?

1764
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:40,080
Speaker 1: What is the person next to me going to do?

1765
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:42,880
Speaker 1: What play are we running here? In year two and

1766
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:46,120
Speaker 1: year three, the game slows down. You can just be

1767
01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:50,439
Speaker 1: yourself on the field. But are they going to put

1768
01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 1: them somewhere? Is this going to be a true training

1769
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 1: camp battle? If it is at right tackle, then does

1770
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:02,360
Speaker 1: Tie and Secky and Darryl Williams rotate with him? Is

1771
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:04,599
Speaker 1: he going to be the tackle that's on the field

1772
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 1: all the time. I mean he accounted for seven and

1773
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 1: sixty one snaps, which was sixty nine point four percent

1774
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 1: of the total snaps in twenty nineteen, so he took

1775
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 1: the bulk of those snaps. One reason those because ty

1776
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 1: and Secki was injured for five straight weeks. With that

1777
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:24,479
Speaker 1: ankle injury, he missed six total games, so it could

1778
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:27,280
Speaker 1: have been a different story if Tay and Secky was healthy.

1779
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:30,479
Speaker 1: Cody Ford had three hundred ninety three more snaps than

1780
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:33,080
Speaker 1: tie and Secky last season, so a lot of question

1781
01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 1: marks remain on the table for this position battle at

1782
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,479
Speaker 1: right tackle. Yeah, and it's how long are they gonna

1783
01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:39,840
Speaker 1: do it? And what are they gonna find out? I mean,

1784
01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:43,080
Speaker 1: the longer they push it and the more they rotate

1785
01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:45,719
Speaker 1: in between right tackle right guard, the more you think

1786
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:49,320
Speaker 1: maybe he can't play either, you know, or he can't

1787
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 1: play one or the other. Maybe they're trying to make

1788
01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 1: him do something he's just not up to it. How

1789
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 1: long do they wait before they give him a chance

1790
01:37:57,280 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 1: to find a position and stay there, And that's the

1791
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,160
Speaker 1: that's the real question. You start to play your best

1792
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:05,320
Speaker 1: when you know you're gonna line up there all the

1793
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:07,679
Speaker 1: time and you never have to move and you've also

1794
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:10,640
Speaker 1: got the same two guys on your inside and you're outside,

1795
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:12,840
Speaker 1: the same center and the same tackle. Now, Cody Ford

1796
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 1: hasn't been afforded that Tying and Secky. Even if he

1797
01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 1: had not, even if Ford hadn't rottated out to right

1798
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:20,840
Speaker 1: tackle when in Seki was down, he'd still have a

1799
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,760
Speaker 1: different guy at right tackle playing right guard while he

1800
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 1: was playing right guard. So you know, the more continuity

1801
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 1: you have, the better these guys are gonna play. I'd

1802
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 1: be interesting, too interested to think how committed they are

1803
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: to him as a tackle until he got hurt. Tie

1804
01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 1: and Secky was a really good tackle and played very

1805
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,000
Speaker 1: well for the team last year. They were much better

1806
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,400
Speaker 1: with him at right tackle than Cody Ford at tackle. Now,

1807
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 1: be that as it may, I mean, it doesn't say

1808
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:50,759
Speaker 1: anything about Cody Ford. It just says that their offensive

1809
01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:53,320
Speaker 1: line was that much better with those two guys rather

1810
01:38:53,360 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 1: than Cody Ford playing tackle and somebody else playing guard. Now,

1811
01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:02,200
Speaker 1: that other part of the conversation of Tiansecki being out

1812
01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 1: for those five weeks, that's when they saw their toughest competition.

1813
01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 1: So Cody Ford got to go up against some of

1814
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 1: the best defenses in the league last season, the Broncos,

1815
01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, the Ravens and Steelers, and the Patriots. Tyansecki

1816
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 1: was unhealthy for all of those five weeks, so you

1817
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:22,680
Speaker 1: wonder if Tiansecki still would have been the better right

1818
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:25,760
Speaker 1: tackle too, if he was on the field during that

1819
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:28,439
Speaker 1: stretch of five games that were really tough for the

1820
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:31,240
Speaker 1: Bills when they went three and two. Yeah, and it's

1821
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:36,600
Speaker 1: it's a fair question, but the offense statistically, You'll have

1822
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: people to tell you the offense was just that much better.

1823
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 1: They scored an extra touchdown a game when Insecki was

1824
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 1: at right tackle. They are about that. They averaged more

1825
01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:55,160
Speaker 1: touchdown drives during games with Inseki at right tackle than

1826
01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 1: they did with Cody Ford at right tackle. They scored

1827
01:39:57,560 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 1: points at a higher rate, and they finished their drives

1828
01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:02,720
Speaker 1: at higher rate with Inseci at right tackle. I don't

1829
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:06,040
Speaker 1: know if that means anything, you know, practically speaking, or

1830
01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 1: whether the opponents had anything to do with that or whatever,

1831
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: but the statistics still there, And I think this coaching

1832
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:17,639
Speaker 1: staff has done a really nice job developing players, There's

1833
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:19,559
Speaker 1: no question about it. You look at even the great

1834
01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:23,599
Speaker 1: ones that the top flight, the important players, like the

1835
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:27,600
Speaker 1: Travius Whites, Tremaine Edmonds, and Josh Allen's and even go

1836
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 1: down for the Tom Devin Singletary, Matt Milano and the rest.

1837
01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 1: M that there's guys on this squad with you know,

1838
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:46,559
Speaker 1: with the Dawson Knox, you know, and Josh Allen. All

1839
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:50,599
Speaker 1: of these players have gotten significantly better the more they've

1840
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 1: been on the field being coached by these guys. And

1841
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 1: you got to think they've got a plan or at

1842
01:40:56,040 --> 01:41:01,960
Speaker 1: least a hope or a belief that Cody Ford is

1843
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good player. And I don't but

1844
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 1: I don't want him to get caught up in the

1845
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:08,479
Speaker 1: fact that they're trying to make this guy into a

1846
01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:11,920
Speaker 1: tackle when he may just be he may be able

1847
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:14,920
Speaker 1: to be a dominant guard. I think he's a really

1848
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:17,719
Speaker 1: good NFL player, no question about it. And you would

1849
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:21,639
Speaker 1: rather have a tackle a dominant tackle. That's a dominant guard,

1850
01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:27,599
Speaker 1: I think. But if he can play dominant guard and only, okay, tackle,

1851
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:32,639
Speaker 1: I think he put him at guard totally. I mean,

1852
01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:36,439
Speaker 1: he was drafted with the thirty eighth overall pick. This

1853
01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:40,519
Speaker 1: is a talented offensive lineman. He went to Oklahoma. He

1854
01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,840
Speaker 1: played guard in his first two or three seasons at

1855
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:46,679
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and then played tackle a little bit. He played

1856
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,720
Speaker 1: more guard than tackle at Oklahoma. You look at him,

1857
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:52,040
Speaker 1: he looks like an offensive guard, is what a lot

1858
01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:55,200
Speaker 1: of people say. People say he plays better at guard.

1859
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,760
Speaker 1: This could just be because he hasn't played tackle as much.

1860
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:01,800
Speaker 1: Maybe if he's at tackle longer, we can see him

1861
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:05,840
Speaker 1: grow into a more talented tackle. But yeah, you don't

1862
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 1: want to put him in something that he's not going

1863
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 1: to excel and succeed at. This team wants to be

1864
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: a team that makes it deep into the playoffs, and

1865
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:17,200
Speaker 1: to do that you have to have the best of

1866
01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:19,880
Speaker 1: the best or grow these players into the best of

1867
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 1: the best. And just by sticking Cody Ford at tackle

1868
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: because that's where they want him to be isn't going

1869
01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: to be a great thing. But the nice thing to

1870
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:31,599
Speaker 1: know is that this coaching staff does not do things

1871
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 1: like that. They operate by player's strengths, and they fit

1872
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 1: and they scheme and they plan this offense around the

1873
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 1: player's strength. So if they deem that he's the best

1874
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 1: at guard, I think he will be at guard and

1875
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:48,200
Speaker 1: then at tackle you have Ty and Secki, or you

1876
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:51,760
Speaker 1: have Darryl Williams if they choose for Cody Ford to

1877
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 1: be at guard, if you move him over to right guard,

1878
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 1: then you have another position battle of John Feliciano and

1879
01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 1: Cody Ford right. And here's the thing. If there's a

1880
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:03,799
Speaker 1: huge gray area and there's a lot of moving parts

1881
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:07,599
Speaker 1: before you just start pronouncing, you know, Cody Ford is this,

1882
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:09,640
Speaker 1: and then he's that, he's not this, but he is

1883
01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 1: this or he's not that. Because here's the thing. You

1884
01:43:12,479 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 1: gotta get your best five guys on the field and

1885
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 1: your best five guys in the right combination. And would

1886
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:22,760
Speaker 1: you rather have The question becomes so, if so if

1887
01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 1: Tie and Secky. I think it's clear that they thought

1888
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:26,759
Speaker 1: they were better with Tie and Secki at right tackle,

1889
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:28,640
Speaker 1: but they wanted to develop Cody Ford, give him a

1890
01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:31,679
Speaker 1: chance to grow into that spot. I can see that

1891
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 1: that's fine. But what my question, my you know point,

1892
01:43:36,200 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 1: is this, A dominant right guard is great, but you'd

1893
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 1: rather have a you know, rather have the dominant right

1894
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 1: tackle because it guards the edge of the defense. It's

1895
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:49,120
Speaker 1: a much more difficult position to fill. But do you

1896
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:53,080
Speaker 1: want a guy who can play dominant guard and just

1897
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:55,400
Speaker 1: okay tackle, what do you do with him? Is it

1898
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:58,680
Speaker 1: more important to have an okay tackle, particularly if you

1899
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:02,960
Speaker 1: don't have a good guard to replace that okay tackle

1900
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,720
Speaker 1: with at guard, you know who you're gonna put in

1901
01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 1: a guard. If Cody Ford is playing tackle, that's a question.

1902
01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 1: And if you don't have a quality guy there then

1903
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 1: but you can find another okay tackle, well, then you

1904
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:20,520
Speaker 1: move your guard back, Cody Ford back inside, you solidify

1905
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:23,679
Speaker 1: the inside, and you go with just an okay tackle,

1906
01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 1: which you're better off because you've got a stronger guard

1907
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 1: and you know, and the same guy at tackle that

1908
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 1: you would if Cody Ford was out there. And plus

1909
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:34,920
Speaker 1: if he's if he's a better tackle than anybody you've got,

1910
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 1: and you've got a you know, a good stable of guards,

1911
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:40,519
Speaker 1: which the Bills might you know, then you're okay with

1912
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:43,080
Speaker 1: sticking him out there and knowing that he's the best

1913
01:44:43,120 --> 01:44:48,040
Speaker 1: tackle you've got left. But it's never a good thing.

1914
01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:50,559
Speaker 1: You never want to go into a season with putting

1915
01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:52,360
Speaker 1: a guy in a spot where he's the best guy

1916
01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:55,599
Speaker 1: we've got left, you know what I mean. You want

1917
01:44:55,720 --> 01:44:57,719
Speaker 1: guy's like, wow, we got this guy. When he's healthy

1918
01:44:57,720 --> 01:44:59,920
Speaker 1: and this guy's in there, we're good. You know that

1919
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 1: that's the kind of attitude you want and you don't

1920
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:05,560
Speaker 1: want to relegate Cody forward to play an out of

1921
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:07,880
Speaker 1: position for the first four years of his cream in

1922
01:45:07,920 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 1: the first two years of his career. Yeah, you want

1923
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 1: to get the best out of him. And it's none

1924
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 1: of this is to say that he had a bad

1925
01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:19,640
Speaker 1: first rookie season. They saw a lot of potential in

1926
01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:22,280
Speaker 1: Cody four last season at the guard and at the

1927
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:26,360
Speaker 1: tackle position. He went up against some really talented defensive

1928
01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:30,360
Speaker 1: ends last season and didn't get owned every single rep.

1929
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,800
Speaker 1: He held his own for the majority of the time.

1930
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:37,280
Speaker 1: So did Tie and Secky. It's just figuring out where

1931
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:40,599
Speaker 1: this offense is going to perform the best. If it

1932
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 1: was Ty and Sky last year, maybe it's Ti and

1933
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,559
Speaker 1: Secki again this year. But once they get into camp,

1934
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 1: who knows who had the best off season and who

1935
01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:51,639
Speaker 1: focused on their body the much and their skill set

1936
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 1: the most. If you want to chime in on this,

1937
01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 1: you can real quick eight or three oh five fifty.

1938
01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:57,720
Speaker 1: We'll be taking calls to the bottom of the hour

1939
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:00,840
Speaker 1: at least, and that's or eight eight two fifty call

1940
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: us or tweet at us at one Bills Live. We're

1941
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:05,759
Speaker 1: talking about um Cody Ford who's gonna where's Cody Fourd're

1942
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna play? Who's gonna be the right tackle of the

1943
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:11,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Where it's also talking about the owners meetings today.

1944
01:46:11,080 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 1: What do you think is gonna come out of those

1945
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: owners meetings? Are they gonna cut it down to one

1946
01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:17,320
Speaker 1: preseason game? Is nothing new gonna come out of this?

1947
01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:19,120
Speaker 1: Are the players gonna get some of the things they

1948
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:22,600
Speaker 1: want or something else? You tell us we also have

1949
01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 1: some some of this other stuff going on in the

1950
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:29,919
Speaker 1: National Football League, Maddie, the Giants and Jets. Rutgers football

1951
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:32,920
Speaker 1: has canceled it's game. The Giants and Jets had but

1952
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:37,639
Speaker 1: Rutgers games this season. Along with the Jets and Giants.

1953
01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:40,160
Speaker 1: Nobody's having any fans in the stands. That's in Jersey,

1954
01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:44,080
Speaker 1: of course, the Bills aren't fans. Aren't gonna have We're

1955
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:46,880
Speaker 1: gonna have Bills fans in the stands here in Buffalo either.

1956
01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 1: I think that's probably way it's gonna be had most

1957
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:53,320
Speaker 1: NFL cities, although there may be one with fifteen thousand

1958
01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 1: people in it or whatever. That's just kind of the

1959
01:46:56,479 --> 01:46:59,800
Speaker 1: way it's gonna be right now. The Buccaneers have pushed

1960
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:03,960
Speaker 1: their rookie reporting date back two days. They're gonna arrive

1961
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 1: on Thursday. They were supposed to get in tomorrow. Some

1962
01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 1: of these teams were gonna be in tomorrow. The Chiefs,

1963
01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:10,599
Speaker 1: you said, and who have the Houston Texans, We're gonna

1964
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 1: get in tomorrow. Rookies in today, But they're in today, Yeah,

1965
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 1: they say in. But what that means is they drove up,

1966
01:47:18,080 --> 01:47:20,680
Speaker 1: got got swabbed, and then drove back to wherever it

1967
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 1: is they're staying and waiting to see if they got

1968
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 1: negative tests. Then they'll come in after they can get

1969
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:28,160
Speaker 1: negative test results, if indeed they do. The Bucks reported

1970
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,280
Speaker 1: reportedly were supposed to have their rookies in tomorrow. They've

1971
01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 1: pushed that back till Thursday. So this is all coming up,

1972
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:38,320
Speaker 1: and it's it's happening fast, it's happening furious. It's one

1973
01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 1: of those things, Mattie too. You think about it, all

1974
01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:43,360
Speaker 1: this stuff's gonna happen, and then as soon as everybody's

1975
01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:45,400
Speaker 1: in camp, none of it matters anymore. We're all in.

1976
01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:48,080
Speaker 1: Let's go. You know how it's gonna start. When it's

1977
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna start, who's getting tested, who test positive? What the

1978
01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:54,280
Speaker 1: percentages are, who's quarantine, how long they out for, when's

1979
01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 1: their last test. All that stuff comes onto the table,

1980
01:47:56,960 --> 01:47:58,800
Speaker 1: But for right now, they're just trying to get him

1981
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:02,559
Speaker 1: in the building and get you know, with negative tests. Yeah,

1982
01:48:02,600 --> 01:48:05,760
Speaker 1: they're trying to make sure everybody can get to the

1983
01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:09,920
Speaker 1: facilities in one piece in order to start training camp

1984
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 1: next week, and hopefully by next week they have those

1985
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:17,840
Speaker 1: questions answered that the players have been asking about time

1986
01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 1: and time again. Hopefully that everybody can get on the

1987
01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 1: same page and agree or disagree on things, but at

1988
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:29,280
Speaker 1: least come to a conclusion. Just get in even if nobody,

1989
01:48:29,320 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 1: if not everybody's happy. When things start ruling, they just

1990
01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 1: kind of more things just shrug, They shrug it off,

1991
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, and they say, well, I gotta go, I

1992
01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:38,960
Speaker 1: gotta play. You know that, because when they get on

1993
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 1: the field, nothing else matters and they can push everything

1994
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,519
Speaker 1: else aside. At least that's the way it was and

1995
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:50,160
Speaker 1: I think it still is. NFL personnel people Jeremy Fowler

1996
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:55,680
Speaker 1: reported that NFL personnel anticipates many star college players are

1997
01:48:55,680 --> 01:48:58,920
Speaker 1: going to sit out of their college football season to

1998
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:01,640
Speaker 1: get ready for the spring draft, particularly if college football's

1999
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:04,680
Speaker 1: moved to the spring. Seahawks did a deep dive on

2000
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown to understand if he's the player or the

2001
01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:11,440
Speaker 1: person or what that may lead to a signing. Antonio

2002
01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:13,800
Speaker 1: Brown getting looked at by the Seahawks. He's still got

2003
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:16,559
Speaker 1: to serve probably some suspensions, and I know that he's

2004
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:18,800
Speaker 1: still got a couple of legal things hanging over him

2005
01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:23,799
Speaker 1: before he can actually return one hundred percent. And this too, Maddie.

2006
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:27,360
Speaker 1: So the Madden Game they rate all their players, you know,

2007
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: zero to ninety nine with their skills and stuff. Josh

2008
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 1: Allen got a ninety nine rating for arm strength. Pat

2009
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:38,720
Speaker 1: Mahomes got a ninety seven. So now now they got

2010
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 1: to have a throw off, right, Pat Mahomes challenged Buffalo

2011
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,920
Speaker 1: Bills Josh Allen to a throwing contest over Madden twenty

2012
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:48,559
Speaker 1: one rating. They both Josh with a ninety seven arms

2013
01:49:48,560 --> 01:49:51,760
Speaker 1: strength and Mahomes with a nineties. No Josh with the

2014
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 1: ninety nine, Mahomes with a ninety seven arms strength rating.

2015
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:58,400
Speaker 1: What do you think I think Josh Allen would win

2016
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 1: in that? Com But would you have? But I that

2017
01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:04,800
Speaker 1: with the with the you know i'd watch is the

2018
01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:07,880
Speaker 1: only thing on TV I'd watch that? Right? Sure? Yeah?

2019
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 1: I DDR that if I couldn't, you know, I mean,

2020
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 1: I want to see it. What are they gonna do?

2021
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:15,360
Speaker 1: How's it gonna work. Mahomes said that he's confident he

2022
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:19,200
Speaker 1: can throw the ball at least at least eighty to

2023
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:23,360
Speaker 1: eighty five yards. Uh. He said this about Josh dude.

2024
01:50:23,439 --> 01:50:27,400
Speaker 1: Obviously Josh has an extremely strong arm, but I've yet

2025
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:29,960
Speaker 1: to see someone who has a stronger arm than me.

2026
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:32,679
Speaker 1: Maybe we can line up. I know we talked about

2027
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:35,360
Speaker 1: maybe having a throwoff and then we can prove who

2028
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:37,840
Speaker 1: really has the strongest arm. I think it would be

2029
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I'm all for this happening. They can even

2030
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:46,360
Speaker 1: do it virtually um and have people measure. But I

2031
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:48,599
Speaker 1: guess if they're in they're not in the same place.

2032
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 1: People are going to argue, oh, it wasn't coday. Early

2033
01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 1: out an hour before game time. They'll come out on

2034
01:50:56,320 --> 01:50:57,760
Speaker 1: the field. They'll just go down to one of the

2035
01:50:57,840 --> 01:50:59,680
Speaker 1: goal lines, get warmed up, and they'll show on a

2036
01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 1: Thursday night football game. Let's go week six, week week six,

2037
01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 1: it'll happen. Let's do it, but it'll all be all

2038
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:10,320
Speaker 1: be chronicled. It'll have to be in the state and

2039
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:13,120
Speaker 1: no fans there it'll be nice. It'll be like a

2040
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:18,160
Speaker 1: neutral site for mahomes. Yeah. Also, this is in Rob Grunkowski,

2041
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 1: who signed with the Buccaneers, him and his buddy Tom

2042
01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:25,800
Speaker 1: reuniting down in the Panhandle of Florida for the Buccaneers.

2043
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:27,960
Speaker 1: He said, you know, one of the things that got

2044
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:30,280
Speaker 1: him to come back and one of the things that

2045
01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 1: was intriguing to him about continuing his career after he

2046
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:36,439
Speaker 1: took a year off in SIMI retired or retired finger quotes,

2047
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 1: I guess he wanted to play someplace other than New

2048
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 1: England's man, I gotta see. You know, you want to

2049
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:44,720
Speaker 1: see if the grass is greener. You know, you want

2050
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:47,360
Speaker 1: to see if it's different, how different? And if it's different,

2051
01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:49,920
Speaker 1: why is it different? Is it more fun? Is it

2052
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:53,160
Speaker 1: less fun? Is it the same? I get it. I

2053
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:59,559
Speaker 1: totally get it. Who I don't know Gronk personally, but

2054
01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:02,479
Speaker 1: the way that he is on Twitter and on social media,

2055
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:07,479
Speaker 1: enjoying life as much as he can and enjoying the

2056
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:09,840
Speaker 1: NFL as much as he can, it totally makes sense

2057
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,360
Speaker 1: that he would want to see what it's like to

2058
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:14,320
Speaker 1: play for another team. See would it's liked to live

2059
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:17,760
Speaker 1: in another city, experience another city, have different teammates, have

2060
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:20,639
Speaker 1: a different coaching staff, and also to be linked back

2061
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:23,240
Speaker 1: up with Tom Brady. I mean, that was the easy

2062
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:26,360
Speaker 1: sell to come back into the NFL. But he totally

2063
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:29,479
Speaker 1: lived it up for his year of retirement. I don't

2064
01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:32,799
Speaker 1: know if he'll play too many more years in the NFL.

2065
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:34,720
Speaker 1: I could seem just playing a couple more and then

2066
01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:37,679
Speaker 1: hanging up the cleats for good. Yeah. He was quoted

2067
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:40,599
Speaker 1: on WI Boston Radio says, as a player, you always

2068
01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 1: want to see what it's like somewhere else. I thought

2069
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 1: of that before, and definitely after playing nine years in

2070
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. I also thought about it when I came

2071
01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 1: out of retirement. This is an opportunity to go see

2072
01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:53,040
Speaker 1: what it's like somewhere else, to go see what it's

2073
01:52:53,080 --> 01:52:55,840
Speaker 1: like in the NFL on another squad. There's so many

2074
01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:58,479
Speaker 1: players that bounce around on so many different teams. I

2075
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:00,880
Speaker 1: love my time in New England out about it, but

2076
01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:04,880
Speaker 1: it was another opportunity that was presented. I get it,

2077
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:08,639
Speaker 1: you know, And I've heard this a ton as well,

2078
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:10,519
Speaker 1: and I know this was the case for me a

2079
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:14,200
Speaker 1: little bit after a stretch of time of being out

2080
01:53:14,200 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 1: of the NFL. You just feel better. You know, you

2081
01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:21,080
Speaker 1: don't have aches and pains, you're not training so hard

2082
01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:23,080
Speaker 1: that you even injure yourself, and you don't have to

2083
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:26,120
Speaker 1: train around you know, for me, when I got into

2084
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:29,120
Speaker 1: my early thirties, I was training. You know, you trained

2085
01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:30,600
Speaker 1: hard when you were a kid, but then you know

2086
01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 1: you had a knee surgery here, and you know, broken

2087
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:36,680
Speaker 1: finger here and whatever whatever. You're always training in a

2088
01:53:36,720 --> 01:53:39,519
Speaker 1: way that trains around those injuries. Like I can't do

2089
01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:41,400
Speaker 1: this because of this. I can't do this because of

2090
01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:43,280
Speaker 1: my shoulder, and I can't do this because of my elbow,

2091
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:44,800
Speaker 1: and I can't do this because of my ankle, and

2092
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:47,080
Speaker 1: I can't do this exercise because of my knee. You know,

2093
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:50,800
Speaker 1: all of that stuff, and it gets so difficult to

2094
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 1: feel good when you train, because when you're young, man,

2095
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:56,760
Speaker 1: it all just feels great. You know, you get better,

2096
01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:59,240
Speaker 1: you get stronger, you can do whatever you can stand.

2097
01:53:59,320 --> 01:54:00,880
Speaker 1: You know, I mean whatever you can lift, lift it,

2098
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:03,040
Speaker 1: and if you can't lift it, at least you'll try.

2099
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:05,120
Speaker 1: You know, why give it a shot. Why not give

2100
01:54:05,120 --> 01:54:07,639
Speaker 1: it a shot? So I get it. And then after

2101
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:10,040
Speaker 1: you get out of football, when you've dealt with all

2102
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:12,479
Speaker 1: those aches and pains and had to train in a

2103
01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:15,960
Speaker 1: real different way because of the injuries. You just feel

2104
01:54:16,040 --> 01:54:19,280
Speaker 1: so good after like eight months off where you're not

2105
01:54:19,760 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 1: beating it up, and then he's probably thinking, there, yeah,

2106
01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:27,880
Speaker 1: stuck it up and go another year, you know. So

2107
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:31,080
Speaker 1: I get it. I totally get what where Gronkowski's coming from.

2108
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:33,040
Speaker 1: And I know other players have felt the same way.

2109
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 1: You know, you with your new dumbbells and your new

2110
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 1: wait system that you got, you're all you see, you

2111
01:54:39,720 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 1: never got thrown through a ringer, you know, dragged behind

2112
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:46,440
Speaker 1: a truck like I did. Nope, I definitely do not

2113
01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:49,280
Speaker 1: know what it's like to be a player in the NFL.

2114
01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:53,520
Speaker 1: From the workouts, to the games, to the blows that

2115
01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:58,280
Speaker 1: your body takes every single week, to the treatment. I

2116
01:54:58,360 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 1: don't know. But I'm after a year off, your body

2117
01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:04,400
Speaker 1: starts to feel better and you're like, Okay, I can

2118
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:06,600
Speaker 1: do this for a season or too longer. Now that

2119
01:55:06,640 --> 01:55:10,120
Speaker 1: I've had a year off to relax and to feel

2120
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:13,720
Speaker 1: better and to be in less pain. Yeah, well you're

2121
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:16,560
Speaker 1: better off for not having gone through And I believe me.

2122
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, we're gonna come back. We're gonna

2123
01:55:19,320 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 1: come back with NFL True Fall Steve Tasker Mattie glab

Speaker 1: one Live Steve Tasker Maddie glab Here till three. You know,

2127
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:42,080
Speaker 1: while we're in the break, we're talking about everything. We're

2128
01:55:42,080 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 1: talking about the college football season being pushed back and

2129
01:55:45,560 --> 01:55:48,879
Speaker 1: what that would mean for the evaluation process we're in NFL.

2130
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, show here we talk about the Bills in

2131
01:55:52,080 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 1: the NFL all the time. Now it's coming out by

2132
01:55:54,840 --> 01:55:57,040
Speaker 1: everybody's tweeting it out that the Jets and Giants are

2133
01:55:57,040 --> 01:56:00,200
Speaker 1: not going to have any fans at MetLife stick at

2134
01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:04,120
Speaker 1: m for the foreseeable future. That also goes for Rutgers football. UM.

2135
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:08,400
Speaker 1: And then of course who who just tweeted Antonio Brown

2136
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 1: at aya Field Gates or the guy we had on uh.

2137
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown announces his retiring from the NFL. UM for

2138
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:17,440
Speaker 1: the first time since he announced he was retiring from

2139
01:56:17,480 --> 01:56:21,720
Speaker 1: the NFL on September twenty second. So Antonio rebound is

2140
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:28,520
Speaker 1: re retiring from the National Football League. UM. Yeah, that's

2141
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:33,880
Speaker 1: good for him. I don't care, I feel I feel

2142
01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 1: for the guy. He's he's he's had some issues and

2143
01:56:37,280 --> 01:56:42,080
Speaker 1: he's he's got a life that he's trying to navigate.

2144
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:47,280
Speaker 1: But he's retiring again. So there goes Antonio Brown. Much

2145
01:56:47,320 --> 01:56:50,760
Speaker 1: more interesting on there in our off in our during

2146
01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:53,840
Speaker 1: the break conversation was a fact that like Rutgers and

2147
01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:55,800
Speaker 1: the ACC, in some of the Big ten school why

2148
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 1: don't you move, they're gonna move. They're thinking about moving

2149
01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:02,360
Speaker 1: their football season after the Christmas holidays started up in

2150
01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:06,040
Speaker 1: the winter and go in through the spring and have

2151
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:09,960
Speaker 1: it go that way. Now, certainly that's way, way different

2152
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:14,800
Speaker 1: than it's ever been, and it bucks against the National

2153
01:57:14,840 --> 01:57:21,000
Speaker 1: Football League's schedule of the Combine and the draft and

2154
01:57:21,120 --> 01:57:23,640
Speaker 1: free agency and all of that, because then they'll have

2155
01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:25,960
Speaker 1: college football games that they'll go to. But I think

2156
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:31,000
Speaker 1: there's some pluses and minuses. And obviously the minuses are

2157
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:33,800
Speaker 1: that their football their last football game and their football

2158
01:57:34,520 --> 01:57:38,000
Speaker 1: season of their college career would be about two months

2159
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:44,240
Speaker 1: before they show up for NFL training camps, so they're

2160
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:47,080
Speaker 1: gonna be playing football for like sixteen months in a row.

2161
01:57:48,240 --> 01:57:51,440
Speaker 1: But other than that, I don't think the evaluation process

2162
01:57:51,440 --> 01:57:56,080
Speaker 1: would suffer very much. Well, we've the IVY League is

2163
01:57:56,120 --> 01:57:58,879
Speaker 1: the one league who has said they're not playing football

2164
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:02,360
Speaker 1: in the fall. They have not said if football is

2165
01:58:02,400 --> 01:58:04,440
Speaker 1: going to happen in the spring or if they're just

2166
01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:08,040
Speaker 1: going to push it all the way until the next fall.

2167
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:11,600
Speaker 1: So we'll see how the IVY League approaches this. But

2168
01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:15,160
Speaker 1: if more leagues start to follow suit with what the

2169
01:58:15,200 --> 01:58:20,040
Speaker 1: IVY League has said of pushing fall sports, including football,

2170
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:24,960
Speaker 1: to possibly the spring, I just don't see how you're

2171
01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:27,400
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of these star players who

2172
01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:30,520
Speaker 1: are juniors and seniors who are going to the draft.

2173
01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:33,080
Speaker 1: I think they're all going to opt out of the

2174
01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:37,920
Speaker 1: season because all they know is the amount of time

2175
01:58:37,960 --> 01:58:42,320
Speaker 1: that it takes to train for your pro day, for

2176
01:58:42,480 --> 01:58:46,400
Speaker 1: the NFL Combine, and then how much time it takes

2177
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:49,880
Speaker 1: to train after your Pro day and your combine to

2178
01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:52,760
Speaker 1: get ready to then get drafted to go to an

2179
01:58:52,880 --> 01:58:56,520
Speaker 1: NFL team. I think nowhere in their brain is it.

2180
01:58:56,800 --> 01:58:59,640
Speaker 1: Are they thinking, oh, I can actually play a season

2181
01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 1: in the spring and basically go straight into training camp

2182
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:06,040
Speaker 1: with a month or two month break there. I think

2183
01:59:06,080 --> 01:59:09,400
Speaker 1: it can be done, but I think you need NFL

2184
01:59:09,560 --> 01:59:14,680
Speaker 1: coaches and NFL scouts telling college football players hey play

2185
01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:18,960
Speaker 1: in the spring. You do not need to take the

2186
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:22,480
Speaker 1: spring off in order to train for the Combine and

2187
01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:25,600
Speaker 1: your pro days. You need to play. You're going to

2188
01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:27,800
Speaker 1: have a better chance of getting into the NFL if

2189
01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:30,160
Speaker 1: you choose to play rather than to opt out. I

2190
01:59:30,160 --> 01:59:33,440
Speaker 1: think you need people above these college players to convince

2191
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:36,680
Speaker 1: them that they should stay in football and play the spring,

2192
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:39,440
Speaker 1: because at this point, I don't think the NFL is

2193
01:59:39,480 --> 01:59:42,720
Speaker 1: going to move the draft. The NFL is the NFL.

2194
01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:46,960
Speaker 1: They are these big, powerful people. They're not going to

2195
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:50,720
Speaker 1: move the draft because college football is happening in the spring.

2196
01:59:50,840 --> 01:59:57,200
Speaker 1: If it does, it'll be stand their ground and having it.

2197
01:59:57,200 --> 02:00:00,840
Speaker 1: It'll be different because there's if they know that, say

2198
02:00:00,840 --> 02:00:04,040
Speaker 1: the Big Ten and the SEC you're having their their

2199
02:00:04,120 --> 02:00:06,560
Speaker 1: games in the spring. Let's say they did and they're not.

2200
02:00:06,640 --> 02:00:08,440
Speaker 1: We haven't heard anything like this or you know, but

2201
02:00:08,480 --> 02:00:10,800
Speaker 1: there it's it's a possibility and it makes some sense.

2202
02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Then the NFL would do one of two things they

2203
02:00:14,120 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 1: would be that I think would help them. One, they

2204
02:00:18,040 --> 02:00:23,440
Speaker 1: would say we're good with it, we're gonna move our draft. Two,

2205
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:28,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna make it easier for us to evaluate players

2206
02:00:28,200 --> 02:00:30,960
Speaker 1: if they're playing on their team, because our coaches are

2207
02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:33,680
Speaker 1: going to be in town watching them practice. They're gonna

2208
02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:37,160
Speaker 1: be watching them play. If you're gonna stay out and

2209
02:00:37,960 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get in shape for the for the combine,

2210
02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:44,280
Speaker 1: well that's all well and good, But I'm watching all

2211
02:00:44,280 --> 02:00:47,160
Speaker 1: of your teammates practice today. I don't know what you're doing,

2212
02:00:47,160 --> 02:00:49,400
Speaker 1: but I'm watching them practice and I'm here getting to

2213
02:00:49,440 --> 02:00:52,600
Speaker 1: know them. Um, that will be a huge miss out

2214
02:00:53,160 --> 02:00:56,480
Speaker 1: for even the star player in college football. I think

2215
02:00:56,480 --> 02:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Uh, you know, you've got you know, On Gruden,

2216
02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:04,080
Speaker 1: You've got Kyle Shanahan, you got Sean McDermot, you got

2217
02:01:04,800 --> 02:01:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, Kevin Stefanski, all these you know, Andy Reid,

2218
02:01:09,680 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 1: all these guys walking into you know, Clemson's practice facility

2219
02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:16,840
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday. You've got a Saturday games going, and

2220
02:01:16,880 --> 02:01:20,320
Speaker 1: they want to see you practice. You want to be

2221
02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:22,840
Speaker 1: there for that. You want to be on the field

2222
02:01:22,880 --> 02:01:25,520
Speaker 1: practicing with your guys, running plays and let them see

2223
02:01:25,520 --> 02:01:27,200
Speaker 1: how you command the huddle, let them see how you

2224
02:01:27,200 --> 02:01:29,520
Speaker 1: throw it in practice, let them see your demeanor, let

2225
02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:31,520
Speaker 1: them get to know you. If you're opting out, you're

2226
02:01:31,520 --> 02:01:35,440
Speaker 1: off in a barn somewhere lifting weights and pulling against

2227
02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:38,760
Speaker 1: rubber bands. While your other teammates are out there getting

2228
02:01:38,800 --> 02:01:43,000
Speaker 1: evaluated playing football. That's all that. That's something to think

2229
02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:47,240
Speaker 1: about for even particularly for players who aren't first round

2230
02:01:47,280 --> 02:01:49,680
Speaker 1: draft picks or who are first round draft picks and

2231
02:01:49,720 --> 02:01:51,760
Speaker 1: fighting not to drop to the second round. You know

2232
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:54,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, There's a lot that goes into that.

2233
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:56,520
Speaker 1: Now it would be a hard sell, and you you

2234
02:01:56,560 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 1: pointed it out. That's a new learning curve because all

2235
02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:01,120
Speaker 1: these guys are like, man, the spring, I'm gonna hit

2236
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:03,040
Speaker 1: it hard and I'm gonna run my best forty time

2237
02:02:03,080 --> 02:02:05,640
Speaker 1: at the combine, and I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna

2238
02:02:05,680 --> 02:02:07,600
Speaker 1: be My vertical jump is gonna be great, and all

2239
02:02:07,640 --> 02:02:09,200
Speaker 1: that stuff. Where they're you know, they're getting ready for

2240
02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:12,840
Speaker 1: an Olympic, you know, event they have. They're over the

2241
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:16,600
Speaker 1: top trainer. They go to Florida or to Arizona to

2242
02:02:16,680 --> 02:02:19,480
Speaker 1: train for three months. It's become this whole culture thing

2243
02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:21,680
Speaker 1: that you have to do this in order to be

2244
02:02:21,720 --> 02:02:25,800
Speaker 1: prepared to go to your pro day or the NFL Combine,

2245
02:02:25,840 --> 02:02:28,840
Speaker 1: that you need this three month period to figure out

2246
02:02:28,880 --> 02:02:30,880
Speaker 1: how to run a forty and to get your body

2247
02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:36,480
Speaker 1: and the best possible. And also the NFL let's see,

2248
02:02:36,640 --> 02:02:40,120
Speaker 1: they haven't budged at all on no preseason. How tough

2249
02:02:40,200 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 1: has it been to negotiate that. Think about people trying

2250
02:02:43,960 --> 02:02:47,440
Speaker 1: to negotiate with the NFL to move your drafts. I

2251
02:02:47,440 --> 02:02:51,280
Speaker 1: mean that throws everything off. Yeah, and that'll be interesting too,

2252
02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:53,840
Speaker 1: because think about this the NFL and I don't know

2253
02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:57,640
Speaker 1: the ins and outsa but it seems to me these

2254
02:02:57,840 --> 02:03:03,160
Speaker 1: players would not be draft eligible until their final game

2255
02:03:03,360 --> 02:03:08,600
Speaker 1: or until they you know, disavow their final college year

2256
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:12,120
Speaker 1: of college eligibility. Um So if they're playing on a team,

2257
02:03:12,120 --> 02:03:13,920
Speaker 1: you can't draft the guy. If he's on a college

2258
02:03:13,960 --> 02:03:17,680
Speaker 1: team right now, he's playing football, once their eligibilities up

2259
02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:20,480
Speaker 1: in the fall, when they play after that, their college

2260
02:03:20,480 --> 02:03:24,120
Speaker 1: eligibility for football is used up, that you can draft him. Um,

2261
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that's exactly the way it works. If

2262
02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:30,600
Speaker 1: they're still on the team, you know what I mean,

2263
02:03:31,480 --> 02:03:33,120
Speaker 1: they maybe they're you know what I mean? So I

2264
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:38,760
Speaker 1: don't Maybe you can't. Maybe that's not Maybe that's maybe

2265
02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:40,880
Speaker 1: you could play a shortened season where you don't play

2266
02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:44,520
Speaker 1: your three non conference games, you just play your conference games,

2267
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:49,760
Speaker 1: and maybe bowl season is shortened and really the only

2268
02:03:49,800 --> 02:03:53,560
Speaker 1: thing you play is the College Football Playoff. Bowl season

2269
02:03:53,560 --> 02:03:57,680
Speaker 1: can certainly be shortened, and maybe you can get it

2270
02:03:57,800 --> 02:04:00,960
Speaker 1: in time where the draft doesn't have to be pushed.

2271
02:04:01,040 --> 02:04:04,280
Speaker 1: If you have a ten games season and you have

2272
02:04:05,040 --> 02:04:08,560
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff and maybe two or three other

2273
02:04:08,640 --> 02:04:11,480
Speaker 1: bowl games to ramp up to the College Football Playoff,

2274
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 1: and then you don't need six weeks. You don't need

2275
02:04:15,720 --> 02:04:19,560
Speaker 1: like all of December through. You know, they end their

2276
02:04:19,640 --> 02:04:23,160
Speaker 1: games two weeks to practice for bowl games two weeks.

2277
02:04:23,160 --> 02:04:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean they end their seasons in November like Thanksgiving,

2278
02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 1: and then they go all the way till January first

2279
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:31,920
Speaker 1: or third before they play the bowl game. That and

2280
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:34,280
Speaker 1: these guys and these teams are practicing through all of that.

2281
02:04:34,360 --> 02:04:37,520
Speaker 1: So and let me just start so much. Bowl games

2282
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:41,240
Speaker 1: are jokes. I worked in college football for five years.

2283
02:04:41,680 --> 02:04:44,720
Speaker 1: You don't need a month to work up to the

2284
02:04:44,840 --> 02:04:48,040
Speaker 1: Music City Bowl when you're playing against Yeah it's another

2285
02:04:48,120 --> 02:04:51,840
Speaker 1: Power five team, but like, really, come on, the College

2286
02:04:51,880 --> 02:04:54,800
Speaker 1: Football Playoff is the only thing that really matters. Yeah,

2287
02:04:54,840 --> 02:04:57,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing. And if you're if you're going to

2288
02:04:57,680 --> 02:05:00,640
Speaker 1: do this, you start to start the season feb Worry first,

2289
02:05:02,240 --> 02:05:05,560
Speaker 1: February first, and you go through March February and March.

2290
02:05:05,600 --> 02:05:11,120
Speaker 1: That's eight weeks. Go through April, and you'd be done

2291
02:05:11,240 --> 02:05:14,960
Speaker 1: mid May, and that's only two weeks after the draft

2292
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:17,360
Speaker 1: would have been held. Anyway, you could probably push the

2293
02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:19,760
Speaker 1: draft a couple of weeks if yeah, you don't have

2294
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:21,640
Speaker 1: to push it to like July, you push it, you know,

2295
02:05:21,680 --> 02:05:24,480
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks, push it to mid or

2296
02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:28,160
Speaker 1: end May. If you really have to have a combine,

2297
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:32,720
Speaker 1: you can have a combine right before there. You could

2298
02:05:32,760 --> 02:05:36,880
Speaker 1: have you could you could implement a really late bye

2299
02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:40,440
Speaker 1: week to where the college football season takes a break

2300
02:05:40,680 --> 02:05:45,360
Speaker 1: for a week so that you could have the combine. Yeah,

2301
02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:48,240
Speaker 1: all right, lots to think about. I'll can give you

2302
02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:50,200
Speaker 1: something else before we go to break. One last thing

2303
02:05:50,280 --> 02:05:56,840
Speaker 1: to think about. At tonight, at eight twenty pm and

2304
02:05:57,000 --> 02:06:00,560
Speaker 1: twenty seconds after the eight twenty minute, it will be

2305
02:06:00,600 --> 02:06:06,000
Speaker 1: in military time, it will be twenty twenty twenty twenty

2306
02:06:06,240 --> 02:06:14,880
Speaker 1: twenty whoa momentary time, the twentieth hour second it'll be,

2307
02:06:14,920 --> 02:06:17,120
Speaker 1: and it will be twenty twenty. That will happen only

2308
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:21,120
Speaker 1: once in human history, and that's tonight at eight twenty

2309
02:06:21,240 --> 02:06:25,480
Speaker 1: twenty seconds after the eight twenty twenty minute tonight, There

2310
02:06:25,480 --> 02:06:30,920
Speaker 1: you go. The more you know, the more random stuff

2311
02:06:30,920 --> 02:06:33,000
Speaker 1: you have floating around in your head. Steve Tasker and

2312
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:35,160
Speaker 1: Maddie Glad We're here till three o'clock. This is Buffalo

2313
02:06:35,200 --> 02:06:37,080
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio and Clyde Health. We'll be back with what

2314
02:06:37,080 --> 02:06:49,680
Speaker 1: do we learn? This is one Bills Live. When we

2315
02:06:49,800 --> 02:06:52,560
Speaker 1: learned rust to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment

2316
02:06:52,600 --> 02:06:55,640
Speaker 1: rental company of the Buffalo Bills. We had Adam Rank

2317
02:06:55,680 --> 02:06:57,520
Speaker 1: of NFL dot Com on and he said why he

2318
02:06:57,600 --> 02:07:00,320
Speaker 1: believes the Bills are poised to win the AFC East

2319
02:07:00,360 --> 02:07:03,080
Speaker 1: this season. What they're led by is the defense, and

2320
02:07:03,120 --> 02:07:06,000
Speaker 1: the defense is one of the best in the NFL.

2321
02:07:06,080 --> 02:07:08,240
Speaker 1: And you lose a couple of key players, but made

2322
02:07:08,240 --> 02:07:11,080
Speaker 1: a couple of nice pickups during the off season. So

2323
02:07:11,160 --> 02:07:14,120
Speaker 1: I love the defense. I'm a fan of Josh Allen.

2324
02:07:14,360 --> 02:07:16,320
Speaker 1: I know that you know, you spend any time on

2325
02:07:16,360 --> 02:07:19,480
Speaker 1: social media, they'll meeme him up, they'll make fun of him.

2326
02:07:19,520 --> 02:07:21,440
Speaker 1: But I think that they've got a really good one

2327
02:07:21,960 --> 02:07:23,880
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. So I think that this team is

2328
02:07:23,920 --> 02:07:26,240
Speaker 1: ready to compete. The biggest question to me is that

2329
02:07:26,640 --> 02:07:30,240
Speaker 1: you know it's different when you're the underdog, that hey,

2330
02:07:30,240 --> 02:07:32,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of floating underneath the radar. You know, people

2331
02:07:32,520 --> 02:07:35,200
Speaker 1: are excited. You know, it's a fun story. Bill Spans

2332
02:07:35,240 --> 02:07:37,880
Speaker 1: are amazing, like people are rooting for him. But once

2333
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:40,400
Speaker 1: you started to establish yourself as a playoff team, which

2334
02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:42,480
Speaker 1: they've done in two of the last three years, had

2335
02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:45,920
Speaker 1: many expectations to get a little bit, a little bit weightier.

2336
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:49,240
Speaker 1: But I think that they're ready for the challenge. That

2337
02:07:49,320 --> 02:07:52,000
Speaker 1: was Adam Rank NFL dot Com, brought to you by

2338
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Skyworks Maddie. Great, really good show. Lots going on. We're

2339
02:07:55,720 --> 02:07:59,320
Speaker 1: listening with bated breath. I'm surprised nothing huge has come

2340
02:07:59,360 --> 02:08:01,160
Speaker 1: down the pipe right before we go off the air,

2341
02:08:01,200 --> 02:08:04,200
Speaker 1: like it usually does. But thankfully the owners meetings, they

2342
02:08:04,200 --> 02:08:07,840
Speaker 1: have proposed one game preseason and they're sticking with that.

2343
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:09,880
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes and how it flies with

2344
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:12,840
Speaker 1: the PA. I doubt that it will. Yeah, I'm sure

2345
02:08:13,160 --> 02:08:16,600
Speaker 1: Tom Pellisero will have more to report. He's been the

2346
02:08:16,720 --> 02:08:20,720
Speaker 1: guy for NFL Network that has been keeping everybody updated

2347
02:08:20,760 --> 02:08:23,840
Speaker 1: on how these meetings are going, what's yet to be determined,

2348
02:08:23,880 --> 02:08:26,520
Speaker 1: what will be determined when these meetings are going to happen.

2349
02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:30,440
Speaker 1: So it was said to happen this afternoon. I'm sure

2350
02:08:30,560 --> 02:08:34,320
Speaker 1: we'll have some news tonight or tomorrow morning for our

2351
02:08:34,560 --> 02:08:39,200
Speaker 1: continued conversation about COVID that I'm sure everyone, including us,

2352
02:08:39,280 --> 02:08:42,080
Speaker 1: are kind of tired of talking about. But you know,

2353
02:08:42,240 --> 02:08:45,880
Speaker 1: it's such an important topic in today's world, especially training

2354
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:49,560
Speaker 1: camps starting in a week, So we're gonna con to

2355

02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 1: You spent some time on the water. Yes, good for that,

Speaker 1: entire house. Now that the weather's turned. It's been awesome.

2366
02:09:23,160 --> 02:09:26,160
Speaker 1: no fun, but you know what, just do it. Just

2367
02:09:26,320 --> 02:09:28,160
Speaker 1: come to do it. You can argue about it, and

2368
02:09:28,200 --> 02:09:31,000
Speaker 1: I see your point, but man, you just do it. Yeah,

2369
02:09:32,200 --> 02:09:36,280
Speaker 1: a bit protecting other It's it's such a respectful and responsible.

2370
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:39,920
Speaker 1: Thank you if you're helping another person. I don't know

2371
02:09:40,080 --> 02:09:43,680
Speaker 1: how somebody can be so selfish to say that they're

2372
02:09:43,720 --> 02:09:45,560
Speaker 1: not going to wear a mask when you can help

2373
02:09:46,200 --> 02:09:49,440
Speaker 1: save somebody else's life. But yeah, it's kind of it's

2374
02:09:50,120 --> 02:09:52,600
Speaker 1: it's it's the right thing to do, and it's it's

2375
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:54,720
Speaker 1: if you want to be one of those patriotic guys

2376
02:09:54,720 --> 02:09:56,800
Speaker 1: like that. You know, it's a free, free, free country

2377
02:09:56,840 --> 02:09:58,720
Speaker 1: and all that. I say, Listen, it takes a lot

2378
02:09:58,760 --> 02:10:02,800
Speaker 1: of courage to waive your rights to in order for

2379
02:10:02,840 --> 02:10:05,040
Speaker 1: somebody else is good. And that's what you're doing by

2380
02:10:05,080 --> 02:10:06,680
Speaker 1: by doing it. So I kind of put it in

2381
02:10:06,760 --> 02:10:12,280
