You saw the Bills take a guy like 81 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: Ed Oliver who and he played with Kyle. You know 82 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: how kind of guy he was and kind of player 83 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: he wasn't you know? Ed Oliver is gonna come in 84 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: and try to fill some big shoes. What do you 85 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: you know? What are your thoughts about Ed coming in 86 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: being a physically kind of fit, perfect fit for the 87 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: three technique? What's that mean? What when you heard that? 88 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: What does that mean to you as a former D 89 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: defensive end? Well, it it's hard to replace the Kyle Williams. 90 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: You can't. You can't replace him um as a leader, 91 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: as a player, Um, Kyleeague a guy that is very knowledgeable. 92 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: But for Ed, uh, being physically fit and you know, 93 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: being a good fit for that position. I think I 94 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: think the kid has a really bright future. The biggest 95 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: thing for rookie coming in is is is getting a 96 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: vent and learning as much as you can as quick 97 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: as possible, because you know, the rookie year is is 98 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: a whirlwind, man. Um. It's NonStop from training to the 99 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: end of your first Every NFL, every game, every practice 100 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: is new yep yep um so um. The biggest thing 101 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: for him will just be learning and every everything else 102 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: will take take care of itself. He'll he's gifted man. 103 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: He'll he'll shine, He'll he'll do well. So I think 104 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: back to when you were drafted two thousand and the 105 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: head coach was gaily talk a little about your experience 106 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: in your training camp over Saint John Fisher. I made 107 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: friends with the real troop very fast. We got drafted 108 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: that year, and a part of it was was kind 109 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: of like I was like, oh, I still couldn't believe 110 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: I was in the league, you know, and it was 111 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: a dream come true. But um man, being being at Fisher, 112 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: I learned a whole new I gained a whole new 113 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: respect for football, um at that at that time, because 114 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: I realized that every day was going to have to be, 115 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: you know, your best college game. You know, um you 116 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta come in and bust it every day 117 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: and watch film and because in college you could, you know, 118 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: you prepare, but you can go out there and just physically, yeah, 119 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: you can just go out there and do some stuff. 120 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: Playing against a dentist, major dentist, you know, engineering seriously, 121 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: when you're playing with the guys that they don't have 122 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: any designs on going further in the in in their 123 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: football career, and every so often you'll get a guy 124 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: with maybe some NFL caliber ability, but not every week 125 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: and certainly not every practice. Yeah. No, um, and in 126 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: the league is guys feeding their families, and it's the 127 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: intensity levels there. Every How quick was it when you 128 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: got there? You show up, you do the O. I 129 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: don't know if you even did OTA's back then. I 130 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: don't mean, I can't remember. Because says things are going 131 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: so fast these days, they're kind of evolving. But uh, 132 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: and every year they kind of change the rules and 133 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: tweaked them. So in twenty and ten, you come in, 134 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: how quick did you like? Look around, sit up in 135 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: the locker room and think, man, or maybe it's your 136 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: first meeting or whatever. You sit around and look around. 137 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: Go man, I I gotta learn how to play, you know, 138 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: I gotta learn the techniques. I gotta learn the plays. 139 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: I gotta there's so much I don't know. I may 140 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: not be able to learn it fast enough to make 141 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: the team. Did that ever dawn on you? Um? I 142 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: never questioned my ability to learn per se, but it 143 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: was things got real during like mini camps. And when 144 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: you start seeing guys lockers get cleared out, that's yeah, 145 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: that's that's the that's the reality check. You'll you'll be 146 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: at practice with a guy, come into the locker room 147 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: and like, where's so and so so and so? Oh 148 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: he's gone, never to be seen again. And you conten 149 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: you get your playbook. Yeah, let me make sure I'm 150 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: on my p's and queues um, because that ain't that 151 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: ain't gonna be me. But it's learning, learning how to 152 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: be a professional. The faster you can do that, the 153 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: better off you will be. Because it takes them. Oh 154 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: everybody got their own routine, but it takes them no how. 155 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: And that's why I say, learn as much as you 156 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: can't get a vet and and learn how to be 157 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: a pro. So the league, so it's about a decade. 158 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: I mean it's twenty nineteen years, almost a decade since 159 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: you were drafted. The league still changes really fastened over 160 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: its particular in the last handful of years, where now 161 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: the defensive lineman can't land on the quarterback, they can't 162 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: even drop their body weight, they can't scoop them off 163 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: their feet, and you're seeing it called quite a bit 164 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: a lot. Then they had the helmet rule, which was 165 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: going to end the game of football as we know it, 166 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: which was a little overblown and they stopped calling it 167 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: after the preseason kind of thing. How have you change 168 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: seeing the defensive line play change since you've been out, 169 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: I mean you've seen we had a conversation before the show. 170 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: I mean you know you got guys. That's now you're 171 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: thinking about something other than tackling the guy when you're 172 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: tackling the guy, because you don't want to get a penalty, absolutely, man. Uh. 173 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: And as as a D lineman, that's a governor that 174 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,599 Speaker 1: you don't want in your head. Man. The game is 175 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: so fast and you gotta make split decision, split second decisions, 176 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: and you can't be thinking about, oh man, I don't 177 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: want to get fine. You want to get ball. You know, 178 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: hit the guy, get him down, make a play for 179 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: your team. And with with that kind of stuff in 180 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: the back of your mind, man, it'll kind of it 181 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: can be the difference in a in a play. Um. 182 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: And because it was different back in the day, you 183 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: see all the big hits and and all of that stuff. 184 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: But like like to hit with with Clay Matthews that 185 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: that shook me to my core um a few years ago, 186 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: and it was a fairly innocuous hit that he got 187 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: flagged for Yeah, and he didn't come down with his 188 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: body on the weight of Kirk Cousins, but he did 189 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: scoop it like he grabbed his knee and lifted him 190 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: even though he didn't land on him. That's illegal that 191 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: it was a uniform tackle. You got to secure the 192 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: guy because you know, like take a guy for big 193 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: bend Uh, he's hard got to bring down.

How that transpired 226 00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: was was unique something else. Yeah, Um, but as a 227 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: as a player, I got a lot of respect for 228 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: a guy I didn't watch them at ub but I 229 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: watched a lot of film on them, um when I 230 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: was when I was playing, and his work ethic shows 231 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: right through his production. Um, I can't wait, I can't wait. 232 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: I love I love defensive guys. Yeah, down Chicago's got 233 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: a really good defense. A lot of it has to 234 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: do with the fact that they can get pressure with 235 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: Khalil mac up front, but they also I mean that 236 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: defense is what kind of propelled them to the playoffs. 237 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: Do you think that a team these days can do 238 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: it that way? I mean the twenty thirteen Seattle Seahawks. 239 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: You were in the league at the time when they 240 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: came out and crushed the juggernaut of the Denver Broncos 241 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: offense in the Super Bowl. So there's still a place 242 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: in the league for defenses to win championships. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Uh. 243 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: I love the way you phrase that, because that's exactly 244 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: what I was thinking. Defense wins championships. Uh. And to 245 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: to have that kind of defense to stifle and offense, uh, 246 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: you know, you know how it feels when you're on 247 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: the receiving end of it, when when your offense can't 248 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: move the ball and things like that. So uh yeah, yeah, 249 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited. Do you think he can see 250 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: the kind of guy now, particularly a kid like Khalil MC. 251 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: I mean he seems to me to be right in 252 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: the prime of his career. I mean he's like right 253 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: in his wheelhouse. Is there a somewhere it's particularly in 254 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: the atmosphere of the NFL today, where the quarterbacks are 255 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: protected and you may drop, you may leave a sack 256 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: on the table once in a while because of your 257 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: inability to really take the guy out. Do you think 258 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: there's a guy out there? Or do you think the 259 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: league makes it possible for got to get twenty twenty two, 260 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: twenty five sacks? You don't have a mega year like that. 261 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: We've seen Aaron Donald do it a bunch, but he 262 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: does it from the inside. So is that still possible? Yeah, yeah, 263 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: I believe so somebody will figure it out. Um. And 264 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: by the way, Aaron Donald is I couldn't believe my 265 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: eyes quick as a hiccup man, super strong in the 266 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: weight room, because I was in Saint Louis in the 267 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: weight room benching five hundred just on a on a day. 268 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's benching five hundred pounds, Oh more than that 269 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: but he really yeah, he was.

But yeah, Aaron Donald, Man, 328 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: to see the guy do a jab step and be 329 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: a beat a double team off, you know, right, it 330 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: happens so so fast. Yeah. And plus he's benched, like 331 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: he said, five hundred plus. Yeah, that's a that's a 332 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: pretty special gift. Yeah. Yeah. So, other than on the Bills, 333 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: which NFL player are you most excited to watching twenty nineteen? 334 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: From the Bills Monster, he says, I'm excited to see 335 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: what Baker Mayfield can do in Cleveland. I see him 336 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: having the year Mahomes did last season. As much as 337 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: I love the Bills, I'm a football fanatic in general, 338 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: so I'm excited about the entire season. That's from the 339 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: Bills Monster. Also from Tiffany, she says, I really enjoy 340 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: watching Alvin Kamara play. He's a dynamic athlete, both catching 341 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: and running the ball. With the departure of mark Ingram 342 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: of Baltimore, he should see an increased in snaps. He's 343 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: a home run threat every time he touches the ball. 344 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: And I wish he was a Buffalo Bill, And I 345 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: think that from a Buffalo fan, that's an ultimate compliment 346 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: when the when the Bill's fan tells you they wish 347 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: you were on You've seen some of these guys like 348 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamar, You've seen the league kind of evolve what's 349 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: And now we're gonna also gonna bring up Frank Gore 350 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: and your thoughts about a thirty six year old guy 351 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: coming to Buffalo who's still from last year watching him play, 352 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: has some gas in the tank. He played really well 353 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: for Miami last season. But what kind of running as 354 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman and a guy who's in in defensive meetings? 355 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: Were your game planning for these guys? What's the most 356 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, what's the most scary back? Type of back 357 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: that you guys face? What's the what's the scariest combination 358 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: of skill set? Uh? Like, give us aid, give me 359 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 1: give me an example, don't say well, but is there 360 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: a gut lt Yeah? Um ladany and Thomas Yeah, I've 361 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 1: seen that guy make a jump cut before he hit 362 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: the ground. You know, guys like that with vision and 363 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: that can see a cutback lane and just shred a defense. 364 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: So you gotta be gap sound and that that that 365 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: kind of stuff is scary to a defense. And with 366 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: Frank Gore and having having this this combo of backs 367 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: now that the Bills have, um, it'll definitely cause some 368 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: some decordinators to prepare. What's the conversation sound like when 369 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: you come into and you're scouting for a team like Buffalo, 370 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: and you say, let's say Frank and Lashawn McCoy are 371 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: in their prime, or at least you're preparing for them 372 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: like they're in their prime. How's that conversation go. Yeah, 373 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,959 Speaker 1: you have to prepare for them like they're in their prime, man, 374 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: because they'll they'll tear you up. You gotta pay attention 375 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: to personnel. And there's so much going on within the 376 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: game that I don't know if people realize, but switching personnels. 377 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: If if you see a guy like Frank coming in 378 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: the game, he runs hard, always has and that's who 379 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna be. Um, and you can't take that lightly 380 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: because he'll he will run you over. Um. And if 381 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: knowing if they're two backs in the game, their position 382 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: in the back, it's there. There's so much their depth, 383 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: even Um in the in the offensive set. You gotta 384 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: you gotta know because one one mishap and and you 385 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: got a long way to run because Shady is a 386 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: hard gotta okay, he's shifty. One of the things I 387 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: was going to ask you about as well, when when 388 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: you came in, we started talking about before the show, 389 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: you were you had the opportunity to be coached by 390 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: the same guy that coached me years ago. Bruce de 391 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: Haven no longer with us, he passed away to do 392 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: the cancer a few years ago. And tell me what 393 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: you remember about playing for Bruce and his assistant at 394 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: that time was Stan Standing. Yeah. Yeah, I like those guys, Bruce. 395 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: Bruce always walked around with his little uh, his little 396 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: speaker he had. Yeah. But the biggest thing I remember 397 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: about Bruce and him help helping coach me to block 398 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: those fields, man was if you don't try to block it, 399 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: you never will. And you know, and we we prided ourselves, 400 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: Marcelle and I Um, Kelvin Shephard was was here giving 401 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: us the shove. Um. We we prided ourselves on on 402 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: getting those blocks man um, and we were going to 403 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: give it to anybody who was in front of us 404 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: because I was also Steve. I was also on field 405 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: goal squad. And that's I think the worst position. Yeah, 406 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: that's the worst position. You're a sponge for violences. Really, 407 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: all you do is just kind of stand there and 408 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: absorb it, right, I mean, there's nothing you can really do. 409 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know who King Dunlap is 410 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: I know the name, Yeah, but he was about six 411 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: to nine three yeah, three something, almost four hundred pounds 412 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: and it's hard to be a big dude in the 413 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: league full of big dudes. Yeah yeah he is. Um, 414 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: so imagine that and three other guys that are angry 415 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: that you just scored coming at you, right. Um. But 416 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: they taught us. They taught me a lot, especially my 417 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,239 Speaker 1: rookie year, having to earn my stripes and do all 418 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: kinds of special teams stuff. It kind of you know, 419 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: you got to kind of make your way. You know, 420 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: you're a special teams guy. And uh that as a 421 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: as a rookie was was an eye opener for me that, 422 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: you know, possibly I would have to kind of make 423 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: my way. And one of the highlights for me we 424 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: were talking about getting to know you about your career 425 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: and stuff, was the fact that when the Bills were 426 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: down playing the Houston Texans, I think they were in 427 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: that stadium. I think it wasn't here, right, and it's there. 428 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: You were in Houston and it was one of those 429 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: tight games, you know, and you and you called they 430 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: were gonna if they're gonna try a few. You said, 431 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: if they try a few, gole, I'm gonna block it, 432 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: and it ended up happening. You walk me through that 433 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: because I know, and keep it clean. But you made 434 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 1: the call before you you know, during the series when 435 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: they were going down the field right, Yeah, yeah, I 436 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: remember standing on the side line and I just felt it. 437 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: I felt it. Um. I told Scott he was one 438 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: of the equipment guys. I said, look, if they kick 439 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: a field goal, I'm blocking it. And there was nothing 440 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: that was gonna stop me. And I was actually lined 441 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: up across from an old college team mate, Derek Newton. 442 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: UM shout out to d H. I said, I'm gonna 443 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: block it because we had we had a couple attempts 444 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: at blocking some and I knew, I knew what I 445 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: needed to do. And so you had a couple of 446 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: reps on a durty game. Y's key man, I know 447 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: what you mean. Yeah, just to get a you know, 448 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: kind of get a feel for it. And uh up, 449 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: But you did you were you gonna do something different 450 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: than you had done before that. I mean, what was 451 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: you do you have a plan? Well to think that 452 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: the biggest thing was the snap. You got a chance 453 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: to look at it. Yeah, you gotta you gotta get 454 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: off the ball if you're gonna if you're gonna block 455 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: one or do anything. But um, it was a little 456 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: it was a little, a little soft gap in between 457 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: him and the other guy. And I was like, you 458 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: know what if that happens again, I'm gonna block that kicking. 459 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: And sure enough, man, I got I got slithered in 460 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: there somehow and got my hand up and I don't know, 461 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: I felt I got a piece of got a piece 462 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: of the kick. Yeah, and so and that was and 463 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: he ended up winning the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because 464 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: what happened that was at the end of the game. 465 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: You you blocked it. And I can't remember the ending. 466 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: I want to say we went into um overtime or something. 467 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: You blocked the winning kick, win in overtime and beat 468 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: them in overtime. Yeah, that's how it went. I remember 469 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: that now. Um, And I felt I felt large. You know, 470 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: it's always a good feeling coming coming away with a 471 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: w anyway, but that was that was such a good feeling. Man. 472 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: It was even bigger than when I broke the record, 473 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: the franchise record for the Block Kids in Miami. Marcelle 474 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: and I switched positions actually, and I was over the center, 475 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: and you know, I think then they put in the 476 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: rule where you couldn't line up directly over him, right, 477 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: but player safety. Yeah, I hit a slant step and 478 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: did a swim move over the center and kind of 479 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, I just put my body out 480 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: there and got it. And Corey McIntire kind of like 481 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: shoot me, like like, do you know what you just did?

Uh, I guess you know, if you hesitate, 543 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: I guess not right, I mean, I don't know. I 544 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: don't know. It was unfortunate, man, But he's I mean, 545 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: he's starting to stack up. Yeah. Yeah, he stack a 546 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: bad injury on top of a bad injury, and it's 547 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: hard to bounce back and be the same guy. Yeah, 548 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: I know, I know about injuries, man, Um, both of 549 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: my quad tenders. You're both quad twin tenants. You had 550 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: to have surgery on Yeah. How long was the rehab 551 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,479 Speaker 1: for that? Now you didn't do it at the same time, right, 552 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: it was like one and then the next year or 553 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: the other or two years later. Yeah. It was twenty 554 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: thirteen against the Jets and twenty fifteen against the Chiefs. 555 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: Um and they say it's a year or two a 556 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: year and a half recovery, but it's like, I don't know, 557 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: two years takes forever before and I tell people this 558 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: and it's hard to explain it. You get a knee 559 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: injury or injury like that takes your body a long time. 560 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: You may be healed physically and you probably couldn't do 561 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: anything to injure yourself and the old injury anymore, but 562 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel normal. It takes a long time for 563 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: that to become normal, right, Yeah, and then to go 564 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: out and try to perform at such yet a high level, Yeah, 565 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: you don't. You don't feel like yourself, and that it'll 566 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: either way at your confidence a little bit and you 567 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: start to kind of compensate, but you know, you shake back, 568 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: but it's there's always a little piece. It's like, yeah, 569 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, um, did you when you hurt the other 570 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: quad tendon after having been through the rehab the first time, 571 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: and it's like, wow, you know, and not only does 572 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: it was it deficit, but did you know exactly what 573 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: was Did it feel the exact same way as soon 574 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: as it happened. This is gonna be a little graphic, 575 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,959 Speaker 1: but it felt like pulling chicken off a bone. Oh 576 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: god that I did not need to hear that out 577 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: pulling chicken off. I'm gonna think about that next time 578 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: at the barbelt. So yeah, right, you could feel it? 579 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

Yeah. The worst one though, 589 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: was the first time I did it, and against the Jets. 590 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: Uh oh. It was a few minutes left in the game, 591 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: but the crowd thought I was faking and you could 592 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: hear the hands booing thinking that I was faking. And 593 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: then uh, one of the Jets players I'm not gonna 594 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: say his name, but he was yelling saying it I 595 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: was faking and all of that, and I had some 596 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: some choice words for him as I was laying there. 597 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: I can't.

And he Yeah, he probably felt bad about 600 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 1: it later. Yeah, but still, yeah, you're right. I mean 601 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: there's no sympathy for from the fans for sure. And 602 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: plus if they do think it's gamesmanship, which we've seen 603 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: once in a while, Yeah, I get it. But yeah, 604 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: then you're the one laying There's it's way different. Yeah. 605 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: Yeah it was rough.

So we 612 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: started talking about this because we're talking about this ninety 613 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: nine club and the Madden Game, and we're thinking maybe 614 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: of guys, trying to think of guys who would be 615 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: in ninety nine. Ready, maybe it's Jadavian Clowney's a ninety 616 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: nine guy, the guy on the other side of J. J. Watton. 617 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: He's you know, or could be Miles Garrett, you know, 618 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: the new young kid from Cleveland, Khalil Mack is certainly 619 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: a great one. But Aaron Donald and Bobby Wagoner are 620 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: the two guys now. Is there an offensive guy that 621 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: would be like a could be Sa Sa Kwan Barkley 622 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: or LBJ. Would they have two ninety nine on offense 623 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: and two ninety nine on defense? Is that how the 624 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: game works?

I was like, 673 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: who is Jerry? Who was a he? See you you know? 674 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: Who is who is the college? Yeah? Yeah? Um? But 675 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: the best way to describe Jerry, uh was from Carl 676 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: dunbar um when he when he was coaching here. Jerry 677 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: is just so unassuming the way he moves, He's so fluid, 678 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: and he's in such great shape. Really limber um. But 679 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: Jerry his attitude and the way he approaches the game, 680 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: like you'd almost think he's a hot head. But you 681 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta be a minute out there. And Jerry. 682 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: I love the way Jerry plays the game. He's so 683 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: fast and strong. Uh and he doesn't take a playoff. 684 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,879 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the thing you get about Jerry Hughes 685 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: and you stand around him and I and Meat bounced 686 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: around the NFL for you know, a long time, like 687 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: I did get an idea of there's there's kind of 688 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: prototypes about guys, about what guys look like and how 689 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: they what they turned into him. Back in the day, 690 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: in the early nineties when I was playing, there were 691 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 1: guys like Laurence Taylor, who are this a big dude, 692 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,959 Speaker 1: huge guy, fast, big nasty guy. Now you get guys 693 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: like Jerry Hughes. He's not He's not the same type 694 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: of body. He's a lot. He's a little bit like 695 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: Von Miller. He's a little bit like Khalil Mack. You know, 696 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: there's six foot six two plus maybe, but they're kind 697 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: of like you said, they're limber, yeah right, They're not 698 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: like these freight train guys that are coming in and 699 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: they're they're one arm tossing these offensive tackles. They're like 700 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: they're more technicians almost at this point of the game 701 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: when they come off the edge. Jerry Hughes is like that. 702 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 1: Von Miller's like that, Khalil Mack is like that. And 703 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: to a certain extent inside, as you said, you're the 704 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: guy you played with. Aaron Donald is a technician as well. 705 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: Of course they're they're physically gifted, because that's kind of 706 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: the ticket to get in the door for these guys. 707 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: But that's the kind of prototype guy, is there, limber, 708 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: kind of slippery athletes. Yeah. Yeah, And that's the thing 709 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: in the league. Everybody's good, right, so you gotta have 710 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: something that that makes you stand out. But but Jerry 711 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: Man and he's a smart player as well. Um, it's 712 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: like some of those things.

Yeah, he had an unbelievable yeah season. 730 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, kids at kids special man. I'm really excited 731 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: to watch him flourish um And I like I like 732 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: Andre Hopkins, Yeah, I like, I just like to wait 733 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: like unbelievable wide receiver. I like his grit. Yeah, you know, 734 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: he's he plays with an attitude, plays with a nasty 735 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: streak in him, and you'd like to see that as 736 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: a wide receiver, particularly number one wide receiver. Guys kind 737 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: of kind to be the point of the you know, 738 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: guy who's up in the front line of the fight. 739 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, because they're running out into 740 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: the defense and to go out there with that kind 741 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: of attitude really helps. I think the rest set the 742 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: tone for the rest of the play, even the guys 743 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: up in the front line. Yeah you know what I mean, Yeah, yeah, 744 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think those are two good 745 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. And here's the thing about Pat Mahomes. He 746 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: had an unbelievable really almost literally an unbelievable season. It 747 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: was so good. Fifty touchdowns only like what a less 748 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: than a handful of interception. The guy was unbelievable. Um, 749 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 1: how big a step backwards? I'm just tending of taking 750 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: it for granted that he's not going to do that again. 751 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: But you know, what would be a like an acceptable 752 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: normal season for Patrick Mahomes. I mean, now, this is 753 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: like the fifty fifty five thousand yards and fifty touchdowns 754 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: the norm for him? Is that going to be it 755 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: without Kareem Hunt or without Tyreek Hill all season, without 756 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: some of these guys you know, not being around all 757 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: the time. I mean, what's going to be a normal 758 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: step back for him? I mean, you always want to 759 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: set a high bar, man, but uh, the biggest thing 760 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 1: for him is is just that's gonna be hard to 761 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: be consistent with, you know. Uh, but for him continuing 762 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: to be a leader and grow as a player, because 763 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,280 Speaker 1: there's always something to work on. You may not. It's 764 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: gonna be hard to go out and get fifty touchdowns 765 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: every year. Man, let's be real. Yeah, the thing that 766 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: he might when you work on has nothing to do football. Yeah, 767 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:10,399 Speaker 1: you know.

In 978 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,839 Speaker 1: fifty two months, they will either be a free agent 979 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 1: or they'd be resigning a new deal. Right to just 980 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 1: kind of put in the terms and in time frame, 981 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 1: something measurable so they can see that this isn't this 982 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 1: isn't high school, this is not college. You have to 983 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,719 Speaker 1: earn the right to be here. But also kind of 984 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,760 Speaker 1: tell them what it takes to get to this point, 985 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: and it takes a lot of hard work, It takes 986 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,279 Speaker 1: them to due diligence, and it also takes a vision. Right. 987 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: They need to understand why they're doing that, and they 988 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,759 Speaker 1: need to have a why. Now they're what their why is. 989 00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 1: It is not my place to tell them what they 990 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:36,400 Speaker 1: how important or is their why less important. All it 991 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 1: is is they have to have a why, and they 992 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,440 Speaker 1: have to be dependable and reliable because they are only 993 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,719 Speaker 1: This team will only be as strong as demand next 994 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,880 Speaker 1: to them. You know, the rookies these days, they have 995 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: to get onboarded a lot faster than they did, maybe 996 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,800 Speaker 1: even when you first came into the league because you know, 997 00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 1: unless they were a highly touted draft choice that they 998 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 1: want to to get on the field early because they 999 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 1: were that talented or they were that effective. You know, 1000 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: there was a little run up time before they had 1001 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 1: to be counted on on a Sunday. Well yeah, I 1002 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 1: mean nowadays, you know, especially if you got a team 1003 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 1: with a quarterback that you're paying a lot of money, 1004 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 1: you gotta get these young draft picks on the field 1005 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 1: early so that onboarding process to the way things operate 1006 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 1: at the NFL level, they got to get it fast. Well, 1007 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: it's always been that way, I believe it. It has. 1008 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 1: What has made it tough is you don't have training 1009 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,960 Speaker 1: camp for six weeks, right, And I was I was 1010 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 1: in training camp six weeks. I remember being in training camp. 1011 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 1: I was tired of the school and the cafeteria and 1012 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 1: the food. I mean they switched it up I think 1013 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,240 Speaker 1: twenty ten on the lockout and all that stuff two eleven, 1014 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,840 Speaker 1: two eleven. That year, I had spent three hundred and 1015 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 1: sixty five days of my life in training camp. Now 1016 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,719 Speaker 1: guys got to play like thirty years. You know that 1017 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating, But they have to play play so much 1018 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,360 Speaker 1: longer now because the window and training campus is so 1019 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 1: much shorter. I think it does benefit you. But what 1020 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,360 Speaker 1: has transpired in that is what I believe is September 1021 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 1: is to fool me month because you don't really know 1022 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: a team's identity, true identity in September because there's so 1023 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 1: much time is going on or lack thereof time that 1024 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,879 Speaker 1: once the season starts that they're utilizing the first couple 1025 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 1: of games to really just get acclimated, get in shape too. 1026 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 1: You really know who is and who isn't because you 1027 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,200 Speaker 1: don't have that allotted time anymore in training camp. And 1028 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,200 Speaker 1: I know you know this organization likes to get players 1029 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 1: that they say have our DNA in other words, no 1030 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 1: the kind of daily process we go through here and 1031 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,399 Speaker 1: can and that they feel have the demeanor, have the personality, 1032 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,359 Speaker 1: have the work ethic to kind of just fall right 1033 00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,400 Speaker 1: in line and join the rest of the group. But 1034 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 1: there are still college players out there. They come to 1035 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:04,120 Speaker 1: the league with this of entitlement like people owe them something. 1036 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 1: How do you how do you flip that kid's thinking, 1037 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,719 Speaker 1: because if you if you have that thinking for a 1038 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,359 Speaker 1: long time in this league, you're not gonna be here 1039 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 1: very long, right. How do you flip a kid like 1040 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,399 Speaker 1: that and get them to understand, hey, you gotta put 1041 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,799 Speaker 1: the work in, no matter how good you are. Well, 1042 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,440 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why I will never be 1043 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 1: a coach. And and here's why because now you know 1044 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 1: all my kids go to private school. Uh, I get 1045 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,560 Speaker 1: gas put in my car. And for me to depend 1046 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 1: on my gas or my kids, I got two kids 1047 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:45,400 Speaker 1: now in college. College tuition is dependent on the entitled 1048 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,839 Speaker 1: person coming out of college. I'm not rolling that dice. 1049 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 1: Football for sixteen years was a gamble. But really, honestly, 1050 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 1: what's going on is football has changed. It is a 1051 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 1: mental aspect of it, but the physical aspect of it 1052 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,400 Speaker 1: has taken the back seat a little bit. So you 1053 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 1: have to learn how to maneuver and pick the right 1054 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,400 Speaker 1: kids and there and there's you're going to pick some 1055 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:12,280 Speaker 1: wrong ones. And when that happens, you do what everybody 1056 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: else does. You say my fault, you move on and 1057 00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:21,840 Speaker 1: you replace them, because we're all replaceable. Steve Smith is 1058 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 1: with us sixteen seasons in the NFL, now with the 1059 00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 1: NFL Network. Chris and I were talking before we came up, 1060 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,320 Speaker 1: before you came out to receive about your story, your backstory, 1061 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 1: third round pick, a Juco first and then University of Utah, 1062 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 1: the Scenic group, the scenic. But it's unusual like Bill's 1063 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 1: fans thought, oh, we need a wide receiver, we need 1064 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 1: a right receiver. We better get a premium first round 1065 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,840 Speaker 1: wide receiver. But your career points of the fact that 1066 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,600 Speaker 1: players come from everywhere in the draft. You know what 1067 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,839 Speaker 1: I mean. You don't need to have a premium pick, 1068 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 1: a premium pick to get a top level wide receiver 1069 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,120 Speaker 1: in this league. Well that's true. But they also when 1070 00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,239 Speaker 1: they picked me at the seventy six pick. You know 1071 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,360 Speaker 1: in two thousand and one day, I was not allowed 1072 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,839 Speaker 1: to play wide receiver, so I wasn't a pick for them. 1073 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 1: I was a special teams guy. Yes, So you know, 1074 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that teams are what 1075 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna do, is teams are going to decide, you know, 1076 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:14,319 Speaker 1: how do they utilize each individual guy. But the thing 1077 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 1: that I love about the draft, while I'm such entrenched 1078 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 1: in it, the thing I love about to combine watch 1079 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 1: why I do it every year is the draft. The 1080 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 1: combine is a place where the organizations, the scouts, the gems, 1081 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 1: everybody that are part of the draft process. It gives 1082 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 1: them opportunity to fill in the blanks. See, a lot 1083 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaker 1: of people don't realize the draft is a place where 1084 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 1: they tear you down, not build you up. It's a 1085 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:45,520 Speaker 1: place where they evaluate you and they nitpick everything about you. Yeah, 1086 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 1: that's what it's about, because it's an investment. And when 1087 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,720 Speaker 1: you go on the investment, you don't go into and 1088 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 1: being a father and having one daughter. When the guy 1089 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 1: comes in and marry my daughter, I'm not gonna roll 1090 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 1: out the red carpet and make him feel good. I 1091 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,960 Speaker 1: want to know what his deficiencies are because as the 1092 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 1: father in law, I want to be able to help 1093 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 1: him because if I can help him, he is better 1094 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 1: to my daughter, which makes it better for the family. Right. 1095 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: And that's what the draft, That's what the combine is. 1096 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 1: The combine is to find out what these young men 1097 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: deficiencies are and is your team equipped to assist that 1098 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,320 Speaker 1: young man And then if he if you guys are 1099 00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: and you can be, you turn out and half fantastic player, 1100 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,640 Speaker 1: and you go on and so forth and so on. 1101 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,720 Speaker 1: You know, I know, you know Lorenzo, and Lorenzo has 1102 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 1: been in the league in a long time too, and 1103 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: he tries to talk to a lot of these young 1104 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,920 Speaker 1: guys about the finite amount of time that you're in 1105 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 1: this league and when you I think sometimes when these 1106 00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 1: guys see, oh, Steve Smith's been in the league sixteen years, 1107 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 1: how'd you do that? Or Lorenzo, this is your fourteen season, 1108 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 1: howd you do that? And he says a lot of 1109 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 1: these guys too, also feel like they've got we got 1110 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 1: plenty of time to go to the playoffs and this 1111 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 1: and that you play sixteen years eleven playoff games. I 1112 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 1: mean it can be fleeting, like really fast. I think 1113 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 1: if somebody said, oh, yeah, I know Steve Smith played 1114 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,440 Speaker 1: sixteen seasons, he probably played in thirty thirty five playoff 1115 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 1: games in that amount of time, you tell him eleven, 1116 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 1: I think you get some some mouths to open up. 1117 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 1: We're talking to the rookies today because I think they 1118 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 1: got all the time in the world, and then all 1119 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,080 Speaker 1: of a sudden they're in the eighth year and they 1120 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 1: haven't been to the playoffs. Yeah, they're like, oh man, 1121 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm running out of time. I've had people that saw 1122 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm around on social media tell me that, um, I 1123 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: didn't show up in the playoffs. I got a thousand receptions. 1124 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 1: I got a hundred receptions in the playoffs. I've been 1125 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: there a little bit. But one of the cool things 1126 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,120 Speaker 1: that you don't even know about Lorenzo that a lot 1127 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,760 Speaker 1: of people don't know. Lorenzo was in Carolina with me. 1128 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He said he was a teammates. He 1129 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,480 Speaker 1: was a teammate and his wife and my wife roommates. 1130 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: In college. Lorenzo met his wife and my wife's good 1131 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,080 Speaker 1: friend and they grew up together in Utah out in DC. 1132 00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 1: Lorenzo is just like me. He had he took the 1133 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:03,480 Speaker 1: senior crewd as well. Lorenzo was much bigger, multiple position 1134 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 1: route here. Yes, he played everything. He was an end, 1135 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 1: a nose and now he's out there playing linebacker and 1136 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,440 Speaker 1: playing special teams. Well, travel very good leader. So you know, 1137 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,640 Speaker 1: he's a great example of guys understanding. You see him today, 1138 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 1: but you don't know a story. And that's really what 1139 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,760 Speaker 1: we have to teach these young men is understand the 1140 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,200 Speaker 1: story of the guy that you're playing next to, because 1141 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 1: it's extremely important. Seem you were talking about the combine 1142 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,640 Speaker 1: a couple of minutes ago, and you made a little 1143 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 1: bit of news of the combine. Yes, noteworthy ear in Buffalo. 1144 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 1: You beat quarterback Tyree Jackson during the Saturday throwing drills 1145 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 1: and past receiving drills. You end up and had a 1146 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 1: kind of an extended conversation which it was short. It 1147 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 1: was short, say it was very as hey, you look 1148 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 1: at my face. You see my face? Yep? That was 1149 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 1: a hey buddy, can you can you not throw the 1150 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 1: ball so hard? Right? And the reason I have that 1151 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,480 Speaker 1: I have I've got a pinky that I broke three 1152 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,080 Speaker 1: times in one year. I have a I split my 1153 01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,360 Speaker 1: web up just okay, to both my thumbs, right, So 1154 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,720 Speaker 1: I understand when you're five yards away, don't throw the 1155 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,000 Speaker 1: ball one hundred miles an hour. And also explain to 1156 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:13,240 Speaker 1: him one of the reasons too. Quarterbacks, you know, wide 1157 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 1: receivers have to earn the trust of the quarterback. You 1158 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 1: hit that all the time, right, how's the chemistry. But 1159 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,680 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks need to understand too that the 1160 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver must trust the quarterback will not throw him 1161 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 1: into a headache. He will guide him to a place 1162 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:35,800 Speaker 1: of good pastors, not throw not throw him into where 1163 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,000 Speaker 1: he goes into the pastors. Right, And so getting to 1164 01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 1: understand that it's like you don't have to throw one 1165 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour, touch right, and so he received 1166 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 1: it very well. I talked to him today a little bit. 1167 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 1: I think I need a little bit of a little 1168 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 1: bit of money because I think based on that clip, 1169 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,360 Speaker 1: it actually put him on the radar of some teams. 1170 01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 1: So you know, I think, you know, I need to 1171 01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 1: get a little you know, a little residual. Yeah, he's 1172 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,080 Speaker 1: here now, he is and doing well. Yeah, all the 1173 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 1: coach The coaches say he's smart, he's intelligent, he's a 1174 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 1: great kid, he's a hard worker, wants he wants to 1175 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,040 Speaker 1: be good, you know, and he showed very early on 1176 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,640 Speaker 1: that he's coachable. So you know, I think I I 1177 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 1: think I played a huge part in that. And you 1178 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 1: can't see it on camera, but I am patting myself 1179 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 1: on the back right now. So I just you know, 1180 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,440 Speaker 1: I'll ask you a little more serious, actually much more 1181 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,360 Speaker 1: serious topic of speech. You gave a couple of weeks 1182 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,040 Speaker 1: ago in Charlotte, where you played for thirteen years, and 1183 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,720 Speaker 1: you talked about your battle with depression. If there was 1184 01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:36,760 Speaker 1: one part that you said that despite all the love 1185 01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,760 Speaker 1: from your wife, from your children, from fans, you still 1186 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 1: you still felt alone. When you were when you were 1187 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,200 Speaker 1: plashing it in the Absolutely it was something that I 1188 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 1: personally struggled with, just based on some of the things 1189 01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,440 Speaker 1: that transpired and I went through as a child. Um 1190 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 1: My mom and my dad try to do the best 1191 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,040 Speaker 1: they could they in the surroundings, and they did. They 1192 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:57,880 Speaker 1: did a wonderful, wonderful job. But we all internalize things deffinitely. 1193 01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 1: We all can look at something just like someone listening 1194 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 1: to this. If you pull ten people, you'll possibly get 1195 01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 1: ten different responses. Some may be enjoyable, some may dislike it, 1196 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 1: but that's based on their makeup, based on their experiences 1197 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 1: and also based on their point of view of me, 1198 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,080 Speaker 1: And so that serves the same purpose as a player. 1199 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,240 Speaker 1: With the success all of that stuff, but yet still 1200 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 1: feeling alone because I put myself there to some degree 1201 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,640 Speaker 1: and then some other parts where I didn't understand it. 1202 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 1: I didn't figure it out. So I need to see 1203 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 1: counseling to really understand it why, and then also understand 1204 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 1: how I process things and how I go through things 1205 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,400 Speaker 1: and how I see it. And sometimes because I'm very 1206 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 1: much vision oriented, I have an objection. I'm a planner, 1207 01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,480 Speaker 1: and when things don't go that way, I get sidetracked, 1208 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,960 Speaker 1: and I get little fidgety. I maybe, you know, respond 1209 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 1: on the way that's more of m One of my 1210 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 1: counselors what he says, it's a great quote. He says, 1211 01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:11,360 Speaker 1: when you react to something and you get historical hysterical 1212 01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 1: because generally it's something in the past that is historical. 1213 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,400 Speaker 1: And so identifying what in my past has led to 1214 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 1: me to think about certain things in a certain way, 1215 01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 1: are articulated and even process it. So when I understand 1216 01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 1: those things, I kind of just do that. Like my 1217 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 1: daughter graduated this weekend, and I'm parked, and five years ago, 1218 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,240 Speaker 1: five year ago, Steve would overreacted. I'm parked. We're in 1219 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,440 Speaker 1: a restaurant. My wife goes out we ordered a big, 1220 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,120 Speaker 1: big meal. I had a whole bunch of people, so 1221 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 1: we got to go so we could we could break 1222 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,440 Speaker 1: bread at home. And a gentleman hits me while I'm 1223 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,760 Speaker 1: parked and I get out of car like and I said, 1224 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:54,480 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? And my daughter texts my oldest 1225 01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 1: boy and said, someone hit dad while someone hit us 1226 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,720 Speaker 1: while we were parked. And my son goes, is that 1227 01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:04,960 Speaker 1: fighting right now? And my daughter goes, Nope, I see 1228 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 1: this is, And I gotta say, you know, I mean 1229 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 1: we all we have access too, especially since you didn't play, 1230 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, in Buffalo. The access we had to Steve Smith, 1231 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,440 Speaker 1: the player, it was like almost an alter ego to 1232 01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,920 Speaker 1: what we're seeing sitting here. And where did you have 1233 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:21,600 Speaker 1: that alter ego on the field, because I mean a 1234 01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 1: lot of people you know you were you had to 1235 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,240 Speaker 1: play angry to be as successful as you were. Well, 1236 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,760 Speaker 1: one of the things is it's a good thing and 1237 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:33,360 Speaker 1: a bad thing. Yeah, I give people what I believe, 1238 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 1: what they want. There's some people I would interact with 1239 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:41,640 Speaker 1: Lenny the team chaplain here, love them, great guy. He 1240 01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,600 Speaker 1: was in Baltimore with me. It took me a few 1241 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 1: months to warm up and speak to him. All right, 1242 01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,240 Speaker 1: there's other people in there. I had a conversation with 1243 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,880 Speaker 1: Lenny and the team chaplain with the Baltimore raver Johnny 1244 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:54,360 Speaker 1: Shelter that I never had conversations with other guys. I 1245 01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:58,000 Speaker 1: just didn't because there were certain guys I chose to 1246 01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,800 Speaker 1: interact with the way I chose to be because I 1247 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 1: still had a wall up. And so this part that 1248 01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,440 Speaker 1: you see me, I have to be this way because 1249 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 1: it's I am. But even at the house. Man at 1250 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 1: the house on the weekends doing the playoffs. Me and 1251 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,560 Speaker 1: my boys are playing basketball. We play a series of seven. 1252 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 1: I played cardio tennis with my wife on Mondays, on 1253 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,480 Speaker 1: Mondays and Fridays. There's a part of me that I'm 1254 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 1: not on social media because I love my privacy. So 1255 01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 1: there's parts of me that you will never see and 1256 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,680 Speaker 1: I won't and I'm not interested in showing you. But 1257 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,040 Speaker 1: then there's other parts where I will give you all 1258 01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 1: of it and more because that's what I want you 1259 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:39,280 Speaker 1: to believe, because that's what I may sound, may sound 1260 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,680 Speaker 1: a certain way, but that's what I feel like giving 1261 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 1: you and that's how I am, and that's kind of 1262 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,800 Speaker 1: how I go by and that's me and I'm okay 1263 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 1: with it. And if you're not, that's not my problem. 1264 01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 1: We see you on NFL Network and combine obviously and 1265 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,440 Speaker 1: throughout the course of the football season now the last 1266 01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:57,720 Speaker 1: year or two. What do you like about that? What 1267 01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,320 Speaker 1: kind of work do you like doing for NFL? So 1268 01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,920 Speaker 1: for me, what I love doing is um I formulate 1269 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 1: my opinion based on the film I watch. I watch 1270 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 1: a ton of film Pro Football Focus. I have a 1271 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 1: account with them. I have account obviously with the network, 1272 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,080 Speaker 1: and I watch all the games I have game passed. 1273 01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 1: I watch all the games. I will watch tape on guys, 1274 01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,840 Speaker 1: and I allow the tape to tell me. Great example, 1275 01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,440 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Buffalo Bills. When I'm watching the 1276 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,880 Speaker 1: third quarter and you guys are down thirteen to seven, 1277 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 1: the first thing I do is I don't look. I 1278 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 1: look at the stats, and then I go down and 1279 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,520 Speaker 1: I say, Okay, how many attempts has Shady had? How 1280 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 1: many passes has Josh Allen attempted? And that can tell 1281 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 1: me why you guys are up or down? So I 1282 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 1: let the numbers tell me, and then I go watch 1283 01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,280 Speaker 1: film and I formulate my opinion whether you like it 1284 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:51,360 Speaker 1: or not, based on what I see on film. Because 1285 01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 1: dyeing the sky never lies. It tells us what we 1286 01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,520 Speaker 1: want to know about anybody in Carolina, using where I 1287 01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 1: live currently. When I see, now, how many touches did 1288 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:07,120 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey have, If they don't have a high score, 1289 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 1: it tells me Christian McCaffrey has not had. He's had 1290 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,440 Speaker 1: below twenty two touches a game. When he touches the 1291 01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,960 Speaker 1: ball twenty two more, he's they're doing it a good 1292 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,800 Speaker 1: good job. When Shady McCoy's running ball effectively, when he's healthy, 1293 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,760 Speaker 1: and when he's out in and he's playing seventy six 1294 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:25,000 Speaker 1: percent of time of the offense, he is what you got, 1295 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,920 Speaker 1: what I call he's the chain mover. So that's what 1296 01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:31,000 Speaker 1: I love about the game. That's what I see, and 1297 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:35,040 Speaker 1: that's what I do. Everything else personally based on geographic 1298 01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:36,880 Speaker 1: Did I like your team? Did I like your players? 1299 01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,920 Speaker 1: I can care less about it because I only know 1300 01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 1: what I know based off what the numbers tell me. 1301 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 1: See in the luxury of that is the game's already happens. Yeah, 1302 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 1: So he can look at all the numbers and almost 1303 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,320 Speaker 1: do it the reverse the way like a reporter or 1304 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 1: a journalist covering the game live has to do it correct. 1305 01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,160 Speaker 1: That's like almost the opposite way, and I would almost 1306 01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 1: prefer to do it his way. So what exactly what 1307 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,280 Speaker 1: I do is I'll watch it. I'll look at the score, 1308 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:01,960 Speaker 1: and then I watch it or I'm watching it because 1309 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,240 Speaker 1: the show I do, I don't leave go back home 1310 01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,639 Speaker 1: until halftime. So I watched the halftime, and so while 1311 01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,479 Speaker 1: I watch halftime, I watch the games. I have my 1312 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,880 Speaker 1: laptop and I watching the games, and let's be honest, 1313 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:14,880 Speaker 1: there are some games and some teams if they're out 1314 01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,960 Speaker 1: of it, we're not talking about you. Let's be honest. 1315 01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,599 Speaker 1: But then I watch it a halftime when I get 1316 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:22,760 Speaker 1: off the airplane, I get the three thirty eight out 1317 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,120 Speaker 1: of Philly. Every Sunday, I get home by five. I 1318 01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 1: get off the airplane by five fifteen. I look at this. 1319 01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,720 Speaker 1: I look at the games, the results. They're going in 1320 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,000 Speaker 1: third or fourth quarters, some of them DA. And then 1321 01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 1: I'll go back and watch them and start all over, 1322 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,320 Speaker 1: because I'll say, oh, this is why. So I'll pick 1323 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,720 Speaker 1: the teams based on the score, what I want to 1324 01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 1: watch and the importance. Steve Smith, before I let you go, 1325 01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 1: len Vann abouts the Bill's chaplin told me that you 1326 01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,000 Speaker 1: met him in Baltimore. But you also participate in his 1327 01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,679 Speaker 1: group that goes to prisons and prisons, right, Daryl Strawberry, 1328 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:56,240 Speaker 1: you correct. He invited me. He invited me several times 1329 01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:01,040 Speaker 1: Tangola up in Louisiana, and my first year to two 1330 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,720 Speaker 1: years ago, two or three years ago, the last day 1331 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 1: for deadline, said all right, I'll go, and man, it 1332 01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,680 Speaker 1: changed my life. And I went to Angola and I've 1333 01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 1: been ever since, and I get a group of guys 1334 01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:14,880 Speaker 1: that come with me out of Charlotte. The guys that 1335 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,680 Speaker 1: I know are former players. Because here's why all the 1336 01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:24,879 Speaker 1: success I've played I've played. I've had fences and barriers 1337 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,800 Speaker 1: in my life, you know, And I've never met a 1338 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 1: bunch of men that a prison for life, are destitute 1339 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:38,920 Speaker 1: or hopeless. But yeah, I have so much hope and 1340 01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:44,679 Speaker 1: freedom of men who are in bad positions and bad positions. 1341 01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,320 Speaker 1: I have no fences in my life that I have 1342 01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 1: no lights out, I have no bars, I don't have 1343 01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 1: to check in with anyone. But yet I've lived in 1344 01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,720 Speaker 1: this bonds for so many years, and I've never been 1345 01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:58,679 Speaker 1: around a bunch of guys that have so much freedom 1346 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:02,640 Speaker 1: and such up a unique situation. And so for me, 1347 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,120 Speaker 1: that's why I go in this and and Lenny gave 1348 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,439 Speaker 1: me an opportunity, and man, it's it's it's been remarkable. 1349 01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,160 Speaker 1: Sounds like it's almost done as much for you is 1350 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 1: it probably does for those inmates. How about this for 1351 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,600 Speaker 1: the first for the first time ever. I go to 1352 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,760 Speaker 1: a prison every every year now and it feels like 1353 01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:23,240 Speaker 1: a retreat. Wow, we're happy, We're betting deep here. Yeah, 1354 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,880 Speaker 1: this is deep stuff here. Now, here's the thing. Now, 1355 01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,360 Speaker 1: when you watch me on Sundays and Thursday night football, 1356 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,840 Speaker 1: you won't get any of this, right because that's that's 1357 01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,240 Speaker 1: not the stage that right. Well, no, they actually they 1358 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,280 Speaker 1: tell me. They don't tell me what they say. No. Now, 1359 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,920 Speaker 1: actually what they do tell me is dollar back and 1360 01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:42,800 Speaker 1: watch the language. Other than that, I get to tell 1361 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,479 Speaker 1: you whatever I want to. We went a whole different 1362 01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 1: kind of tea. We used to seeing him run down 1363 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,840 Speaker 1: the sideline for deep bobs. We want to win in 1364 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 1: a different direction here. I can't help think how good 1365 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:56,920 Speaker 1: you're looking at Bill's gear right now? Yeah, well, you 1366 01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,559 Speaker 1: guys have the opportunity to draft me and you drafted 1367 01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,519 Speaker 1: some other bum so oh wait, oh what now I'm 1368 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:06,559 Speaker 1: gonna look it up here.

I know you're busy. I know this 1386 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,240 Speaker 1: lot going on. Thanks so much for making some time. 1387 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,880 Speaker 1: How are you. I'm doing great, man. I'll tell you 1388 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,280 Speaker 1: what it's as you can appreciate these last couple of 1389 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,120 Speaker 1: weeks before everything starts up. You know you're at kids 1390 01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:14,840 Speaker 1: doctors appointment. Yeah, that's that's where we are right now. Yeah, 1391 01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:16,800 Speaker 1: I know exactly what you mean. There's a lot going on. 1392 01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:18,599 Speaker 1: You're trying to get the last loose ends tied up 1393 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,680 Speaker 1: before training camp hits. And I was just going to 1394 01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,360 Speaker 1: ask you. I know it's a couple of months old, 1395 01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,000 Speaker 1: but you're the draft analyst. What did you think about 1396 01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,640 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's draft. I know it started with Ed 1397 01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,559 Speaker 1: Oliver and then went to Cody Ford. But ed Oliver 1398 01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:32,800 Speaker 1: falls to number nine and the Bills grab and what 1399 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,200 Speaker 1: do you think about that pick? Well, I though the 1400 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,559 Speaker 1: heck of a pick. You know, you've got somebody that's 1401 01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:40,519 Speaker 1: it's got potential to be the impact player in the 1402 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 1: entire draft, you know, with what he's capable of skill 1403 01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,040 Speaker 1: set wise. So um, you know, if you win, as 1404 01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:48,679 Speaker 1: you know, you win in this league by being really 1405 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:50,920 Speaker 1: really good in the trenches and getting good quarterback to play. 1406 01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,000 Speaker 1: And then you go to assault the last year and 1407 01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,759 Speaker 1: I thought this draft was about getting some impact players 1408 01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:00,320 Speaker 1: along the line of scrimmage. And uh, you know it's 1409 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 1: going to be an adjustment period for both those guys 1410 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:04,560 Speaker 1: for different reasons. But man, the upside for both of 1411 01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,960 Speaker 1: them is out of sight. Yeah, you talk about getting 1412 01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,040 Speaker 1: up getting better up front, and of course ed Oliver 1413 01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,920 Speaker 1: is a is a given. He was projected really high 1414 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:16,040 Speaker 1: in some drafts and then you get offensive tackle Cody 1415 01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:19,280 Speaker 1: Ford in the second. Now he could end up playing tackle, 1416 01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,080 Speaker 1: he could end up playing guard. What is the upside 1417 01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:26,200 Speaker 1: possibility for a young, you know, guy like Cody Ford 1418 01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:28,040 Speaker 1: who's got a lot of physical ability. He's got the 1419 01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 1: size but might need some polish. Yeah, he's gonna need 1420 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:33,680 Speaker 1: some polish, but he's got you know, one thing is 1421 01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,799 Speaker 1: he can really move people. He's a big, strong dude, 1422 01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,960 Speaker 1: and um, you know in past protection you think kind 1423 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,760 Speaker 1: of an Oklahoma coming out of that system. That would 1424 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 1: be a strength and uh yeah, I think you guys 1425 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,160 Speaker 1: to step the clean up there. Really. The thing that 1426 01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 1: gets me excited is what they've done with the with 1427 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,479 Speaker 1: the stable of backs that they've got to take some 1428 01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,200 Speaker 1: pressure off Josh Allen. I think he's going to be 1429 01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 1: able to move some people in the run game. And 1430 01:14:57,960 --> 01:14:59,920 Speaker 1: he's athletic enough to get up to the second level. 1431 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,200 Speaker 1: So there's a great skill set to work with. They 1432 01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,360 Speaker 1: just need to continue to polish some things up, and 1433 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:07,679 Speaker 1: they've got a chance to have a really good player 1434 01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,919 Speaker 1: who not only is talented, but has that inside outside 1435 01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:14,479 Speaker 1: flexibility which is going to allow you to five out 1436 01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:19,240 Speaker 1: there so they always do. Yeah, and this offseason for them, 1437 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,479 Speaker 1: we're talking to Daniel Jeremiah NFL Network Draft analysts. We're talking. 1438 01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,400 Speaker 1: There's so much about this offseason for the Buffalo Bills 1439 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:26,840 Speaker 1: has been about giving Josh Allen some help on his 1440 01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,200 Speaker 1: side of the ball. Certainly Cody Ford as a nod 1441 01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,920 Speaker 1: towards that of the offensive line, but have they done enough. 1442 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,760 Speaker 1: You've got Frank Gore, You've got LaShaun McCoy, But then 1443 01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,280 Speaker 1: you've got two guys that you know they're not huge 1444 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,800 Speaker 1: home run you know, Antonio Brown or Julio Jones or 1445 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:45,760 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins type of receivers. But with John Brown and 1446 01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,519 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley coming into the fold, it certainly is an 1447 01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:52,400 Speaker 1: upgrade if it isn't a home run. Yeah, I actually 1448 01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:55,120 Speaker 1: think that the Cole Beasley signing is one of the 1449 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,000 Speaker 1: more underrated ones around the entire league. You know, he 1450 01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,360 Speaker 1: saw the Jets do the same thing when they got Prowder. 1451 01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,160 Speaker 1: Is trying to find a way to help young quarterbacks. 1452 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:04,840 Speaker 1: You do that by running the football, but you also 1453 01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:06,680 Speaker 1: do that by having somebody that can help you out 1454 01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,840 Speaker 1: on third down, and I think Cole Beasley has proven 1455 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 1: to be one of the better guys in that role. 1456 01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 1: He's going to be able to uncover quickly, give him 1457 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,439 Speaker 1: nice easy throws. So I like what he brings. And 1458 01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 1: then I think when you look at the receiver group 1459 01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,720 Speaker 1: as a collection, at adding John Brown and Foster, that 1460 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,479 Speaker 1: whole group that they have, now there's a track team. 1461 01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of speed and with Josh Allen's arm, 1462 01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,919 Speaker 1: you know, hey, run the ball with this improved offensive 1463 01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,120 Speaker 1: line in your backs and then be able to pay 1464 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,040 Speaker 1: that off down the field. I think they've got some 1465 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:37,760 Speaker 1: guys that can do that. And maybe the most intriguing 1466 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:40,719 Speaker 1: one to me of their additions in the off season 1467 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:44,200 Speaker 1: is Dalton Knox because he didn't have the production in 1468 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,120 Speaker 1: college for whatever reason. There was a lot of mouths 1469 01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:48,920 Speaker 1: to feed in that offense being one of them. But 1470 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 1: he is very athletic and it'll be fun to watch 1471 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 1: him grow with a young quarterback because he can really 1472 01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,120 Speaker 1: get down the scene. Yeah, you talk about not producing 1473 01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,519 Speaker 1: in college, Dalton knocks no tds, but then you got 1474 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,040 Speaker 1: three other guys at wide receiver who were taking in 1475 01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:04,160 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft or just after the draft signed with 1476 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,240 Speaker 1: NFL teams, So he didn't really have as many opportunities 1477 01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: as maybe the two Iowa tight ends did in their system. 1478 01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 1: But Dalton Knox does have some ability and he's a 1479 01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,599 Speaker 1: big time you know, he's a big guy's and he's 1480 01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:18,599 Speaker 1: got some some polish. How much I read the article 1481 01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:22,599 Speaker 1: that you wrote about your your projecting into next season 1482 01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:25,519 Speaker 1: about five defenses who may be the top five defenses 1483 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:27,479 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. He did not put the 1484 01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in that list, but I wanted to ask 1485 01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,839 Speaker 1: you too, one of the reasons one of the Buffalo 1486 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 1: Bills did have a top five defense last year. Why 1487 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,519 Speaker 1: would you see them dropping out? Is it the improvement 1488 01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:40,400 Speaker 1: of other teams or do you feel like they're stagnant 1489 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,160 Speaker 1: or taking a step back now. I think there's a 1490 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,719 Speaker 1: It's a good conversation to have with so many teams 1491 01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:48,560 Speaker 1: that are kind of right along in that mix. I 1492 01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:50,840 Speaker 1: don't know when you put those lists together. I try, 1493 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:52,799 Speaker 1: and first of all, I look at the line scrimmage, 1494 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 1: and that's usually where I start. The thing's got some 1495 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,080 Speaker 1: new pieces in there, and we'll see how they all 1496 01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:02,240 Speaker 1: come together. But they've got a great person manning the 1497 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,280 Speaker 1: controls there with McDermott, who knows how to orchestrate everything. 1498 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 1: They've got a rising star Tremaine Edmonds. They've got talent 1499 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,120 Speaker 1: in the secondary. Richard Davious White and good safety group. 1500 01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,840 Speaker 1: So I mean, they look they're they belonged in the conversation, absolutely, 1501 01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,360 Speaker 1: But when I was putting that list together, I really 1502 01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,600 Speaker 1: put a little bit more emphasis on what some of 1503 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:23,240 Speaker 1: those teams look like up front, and that's why I 1504 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:24,640 Speaker 1: gave some of those teams a little bit of an 1505 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,760 Speaker 1: advantage there. But you know, like when you've got a 1506 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 1: great play caller and you've got speed, which they have now, 1507 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,879 Speaker 1: and they continue to add to that on the defensive 1508 01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:34,960 Speaker 1: side of the ball, I think it's safe to say. 1509 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:36,559 Speaker 1: I mean, the defense is still gonna be way ahead 1510 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,080 Speaker 1: of the offense up there right now. Yeah, I was 1511 01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,599 Speaker 1: gonna ask you that one of the things about these defenses, 1512 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,200 Speaker 1: and certainly the Bill's defense would fall into this category. 1513 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 1: A year ago, they didn't get much complimentary help from 1514 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,400 Speaker 1: their offense. And are there some of these defenses, like 1515 01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:54,680 Speaker 1: you say, Jacksonville, Chicago, the Chargers, the Broncos, the Cowboys, 1516 01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,280 Speaker 1: and any other defensive that might come to your mind, 1517 01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:01,479 Speaker 1: Are there any defenses that really kind of get a 1518 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,360 Speaker 1: lot of complimentary help from their offense at this point? 1519 01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,880 Speaker 1: Is that does that go into this list? And your 1520 01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,599 Speaker 1: evaluation is to how much the defense has to carry 1521 01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,160 Speaker 1: the load, because the Buffalo defense certainly carried most of 1522 01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:14,880 Speaker 1: it last year. Yeah, no question. And that the other 1523 01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:16,439 Speaker 1: one that I would you know, I would kind of 1524 01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:21,040 Speaker 1: put in the same category order. Denver has a very 1525 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,479 Speaker 1: very gifted defense in our own defense and did film 1526 01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:26,200 Speaker 1: a whole lot of favors putting them in an opportunity 1527 01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:27,720 Speaker 1: to be able to play with the big lead and 1528 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,080 Speaker 1: be able to rush early on in the game. Um. 1529 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:32,599 Speaker 1: You know, I guess those Charger games each and every week, 1530 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,479 Speaker 1: and I think that's you know, that's a very balanced team. 1531 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,200 Speaker 1: It's not lopsided at all. I don't know necessarily the 1532 01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,840 Speaker 1: defense bails the offense out or the other way around. 1533 01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 1: I just think, man, you'd use a team that can 1534 01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,280 Speaker 1: score points and you've got pass wrestlers, you can cut 1535 01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 1: them loose and cut them loose early in the game, 1536 01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,280 Speaker 1: and that is that is definitely a huge advantage. Yeah. 1537 01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:52,960 Speaker 1: I was going to ask you as well. One team 1538 01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 1: that seems to be standing out as being a little 1539 01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:59,400 Speaker 1: bit different in philosophy, uh this year, Um is the 1540 01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,680 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. And you talk about a team that has 1541 01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,000 Speaker 1: done it with defense. They won two World championships with 1542 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 1: late ray Lewis all be it a lot of years apart, 1543 01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:09,200 Speaker 1: they still did it with defense first, and then when 1544 01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,240 Speaker 1: they won it with Joe Flacco as their quarterback, he 1545 01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,519 Speaker 1: got so hot during the postseason. But that's a team 1546 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,479 Speaker 1: this year with Lamar Jackson who really seems to be 1547 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:20,200 Speaker 1: doing it a little bit differently. They're gonna make you 1548 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 1: bear up and stop the run. Is that play into 1549 01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,160 Speaker 1: the hands of a good defense and will they you know, 1550 01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:30,160 Speaker 1: will that fly in the NFL? Do you think? Well? 1551 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:33,280 Speaker 1: I think it does two things. Number One, m absolutely 1552 01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:36,080 Speaker 1: as short as the game, and any defensive coordinator is 1553 01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:37,360 Speaker 1: going to love the fact that don't have to play 1554 01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:40,639 Speaker 1: a lot of snapsum, So that that helps first and foremost. 1555 01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:43,160 Speaker 1: The second thing I'd say is I think it impacts 1556 01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:46,080 Speaker 1: your floor, um, and I think we saw that last year. 1557 01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you run the ball that well, 1558 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,800 Speaker 1: um and play great defense, I mean you're gonna be 1559 01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:55,160 Speaker 1: in the team every single year. That's your floor. The 1560 01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:57,720 Speaker 1: question is when you get into the postseason and the 1561 01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:00,799 Speaker 1: play feel a little bit level, and that's where cornerback 1562 01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,760 Speaker 1: play becomes a big difference maker. Can you win the 1563 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,280 Speaker 1: Ultimate Prize? Doing that. And even though those teams, um, 1564 01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,559 Speaker 1: they're super Bowl teams, the first one I would say 1565 01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 1: like that two House group was an all time group 1566 01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 1: and they also had a big time stable of backs 1567 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,920 Speaker 1: and in a great offensive line, and I thought they 1568 01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:21,600 Speaker 1: were you know, gilfer Winn, he need to make a 1569 01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,360 Speaker 1: play here and there. He did, but the defense carried 1570 01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:27,000 Speaker 1: the team. I think the league's changed since then. And 1571 01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,760 Speaker 1: even in their last championship you mentioned it, even though 1572 01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:33,479 Speaker 1: the defensive dominant team, Jil Flacco had, you know, the 1573 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,360 Speaker 1: best month of football of his entire life, right to 1574 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,519 Speaker 1: play at that level. Now, is Lamar Jackson capable of 1575 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:41,880 Speaker 1: putting together a string of three or four weeks like that. 1576 01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he is at this point in time. 1577 01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:47,320 Speaker 1: We're talking with Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network. He's their 1578 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,240 Speaker 1: draft analysts. He's a former scout for the Ravens, Browns, Eagles, 1579 01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:53,000 Speaker 1: and also he's a color analyst for the Chargers game 1580 01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:56,160 Speaker 1: day broadcast. He's also he's the host of the Move 1581 01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,280 Speaker 1: the Sticks podcast. It's going to do a video of 1582 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:03,200 Speaker 1: position of series, product of positional prototypes, and it's interesting 1583 01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,360 Speaker 1: to think about those prototypes. We've got some guys in 1584 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:07,720 Speaker 1: the league who seem to be doing really well, and 1585 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 1: you put together a list of your five, maybe your 1586 01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:14,320 Speaker 1: top five most likely MVP candidates, and it's kind of 1587 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:18,960 Speaker 1: the usual suspect specs Carson Wentz, Patrick Mahomes, say Quon Barkleague, 1588 01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:23,800 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, and as Zeke Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys. 1589 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:27,400 Speaker 1: Are there some guys in that group that maybe fall 1590 01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:33,000 Speaker 1: into that prototypical type of guy you need playing their positions? 1591 01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:34,720 Speaker 1: Certainly you've got a couple of quarterbacks and a couple 1592 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,960 Speaker 1: of running backs. No, absolutely, you know, I think we 1593 01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,160 Speaker 1: in our running back episode when we go through and 1594 01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 1: we talked to we talked to you know, players and coaches, executives, 1595 01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:46,439 Speaker 1: and then we kind of go through scouting the position, 1596 01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:47,720 Speaker 1: what you look for, and at the end of these 1597 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,160 Speaker 1: episodes we kind of say, who do we think is 1598 01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,479 Speaker 1: the prototype? You know, if you're gonna go out scouting 1599 01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:54,400 Speaker 1: in this spior dream scenario, who would it be? And 1600 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 1: I think gets the running back position even one year in, 1601 01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:00,920 Speaker 1: I would take Stay Kwon Barkley just because everything he 1602 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:04,479 Speaker 1: can do and and the size that he has to 1603 01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,439 Speaker 1: go along with all that. Um so he's he's a 1604 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 1: He's a very unique talent, and uh, um, that puts 1605 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,760 Speaker 1: him in the prototype category, you know, um, in the 1606 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:17,080 Speaker 1: quarterback position. If I was looking for you know, looking 1607 01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:19,240 Speaker 1: at that at MVP candidate's you're a little bit beholding 1608 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 1: to what's around you. And I think Patrick Mahomes coming 1609 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:25,200 Speaker 1: off of an MVP with the play caller, playmakers, protection, 1610 01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:28,200 Speaker 1: all that stuff in place, Um, he's got a chance 1611 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:30,080 Speaker 1: to run it back. But if I was going to 1612 01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,680 Speaker 1: design a you know, a prototype and somebody that I 1613 01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 1: was trying to, you know, say, is it has everything? 1614 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 1: I would still go. I think to Andrew Luck. You know, 1615 01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 1: it's the highest grade I've ever given a quarterback coming 1616 01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,880 Speaker 1: into the draft. Um, and there's he can do just 1617 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,000 Speaker 1: about anything you could ever want to do on a 1618 01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,800 Speaker 1: football field. And I just think he's further along, um, 1619 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 1: in terms of winning through his progression in the pocket 1620 01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:54,599 Speaker 1: than Mahomes is at this point in time. Obviously Mahomes 1621 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:58,040 Speaker 1: has the special ability to get outside and create, but uh, 1622 01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 1: you know, prototype wise, those would be my right now 1623 01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,559 Speaker 1: at the running back position, was Barkley at the quarterback 1624 01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 1: position would be lucked once holding Andrew Luck back, well, 1625 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 1: I think they need to continue to improve the group 1626 01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 1: around him at the outside. The outside, you've got t 1627 01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,559 Speaker 1: Y Hilton. I know they've tried to make some additions there. 1628 01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:18,840 Speaker 1: I still don't know that. You know, Devin Funches is 1629 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:20,880 Speaker 1: a nice player, but I don't know if that's you know, 1630 01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,640 Speaker 1: going back to the days of of Marvin Reggie and 1631 01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:27,160 Speaker 1: uh and Stokely in the slot with Dallas Clark, and 1632 01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,640 Speaker 1: you know he doesn't have that group now, right, so 1633 01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,680 Speaker 1: they need to continue to upgrade those positions around him. 1634 01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:35,560 Speaker 1: But first and foremost, they did what the Bills have 1635 01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:39,080 Speaker 1: focused on doing, and that is us yet the offensive line. Right, 1636 01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,280 Speaker 1: It's amazing how much better these quarterbacks look when they 1637 01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 1: get protected. That's right. We're talking to Dania Jeremia, NFL 1638 01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:46,920 Speaker 1: Network Draft analysts. I also want to ask you about 1639 01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:49,200 Speaker 1: one guy who was on your top five list for 1640 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,840 Speaker 1: making being an MVP candidate, A guy we've watched play 1641 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 1: for almost two decades, of Philip Rivers. I know that 1642 01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,720 Speaker 1: he was coached at one point by my good friend 1643 01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,920 Speaker 1: and the head coach of the ANYW was Colts Frank Reich, 1644 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:05,600 Speaker 1: and Frank talked about Philip Rivers in glowing terms. What 1645 01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,040 Speaker 1: do you see in his game? Obviously he's got a 1646 01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,920 Speaker 1: Really they've assembled a great roster around him. What do 1647 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:12,640 Speaker 1: you see in his game that has allowed him to 1648 01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 1: be so prolific for so long. Well, he just he 1649 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 1: plays the game from the shoulders up. I mean, he's 1650 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,240 Speaker 1: it's fun, especially in this you know the stadium they're 1651 01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,120 Speaker 1: playing in the in the step up center, it's such 1652 01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,600 Speaker 1: a tight little stadium. You can hear everything up in 1653 01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:31,240 Speaker 1: the booth. You hear all of the communication, and he 1654 01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:33,680 Speaker 1: knows what everybody's doing nine times out of ten. Once 1655 01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,280 Speaker 1: he gets to the last scrimmage, he'll point at guys 1656 01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,559 Speaker 1: and tell him he knows that they're coming. Uh. It's 1657 01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, he's just so dank smart, and he works 1658 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 1: through progressions. He always knows where his safety valve is. 1659 01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 1: You know, there's been games where I've left the stadium 1660 01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:50,080 Speaker 1: and I've said, ah, you know, man, the offensive why 1661 01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 1: played great today? And then you go watch the tape 1662 01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,080 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, my gosh, it was so leaky, 1663 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,639 Speaker 1: but you never even knew it because Rivers was able 1664 01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:58,479 Speaker 1: to account for it and get the ball out of 1665 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:02,479 Speaker 1: his hand. So that plus the competitiveness, the leadership, all 1666 01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,400 Speaker 1: that stuff um has made him you know, very good 1667 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 1: for a very long time this year and putting him 1668 01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:11,880 Speaker 1: in that discussion as an MVP candidate. Um, the reason 1669 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,320 Speaker 1: I did that is because I really believe Hunter Henry 1670 01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,720 Speaker 1: coming back for this offense. Um as somebody who I 1671 01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:20,639 Speaker 1: think is the top five time end in the NFL 1672 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,400 Speaker 1: with the emergence of Mike Williams and Keenan Allen playing 1673 01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,720 Speaker 1: the way he can play, Um, I think he's got 1674 01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,240 Speaker 1: to have a huge year. Could this be the years 1675 01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:30,960 Speaker 1: the Chargers finally do it? I mean they've flirted with 1676 01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,439 Speaker 1: it at times, but they've struggled, you know, as a 1677 01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,439 Speaker 1: franchise for you know, well they've never they've been to 1678 01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:39,160 Speaker 1: one super Bowl in their history. Um. Could this be 1679 01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 1: a year where they finally got all the pieces in 1680 01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 1: the right spot. Well, it is tough. It is tough 1681 01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:47,680 Speaker 1: inside that division, you know, with Kansas City there and 1682 01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,760 Speaker 1: an AFC as you know England team as well as 1683 01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:53,760 Speaker 1: you do. Um, there's some some some hurdles to get 1684 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:55,360 Speaker 1: over to get where you want to get. But I 1685 01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:59,160 Speaker 1: just think talent wise, um, they're right there what they 1686 01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:01,120 Speaker 1: can play with anybody. And I think when you get 1687 01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:04,439 Speaker 1: into the postseason, when you've got the potential to have 1688 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:08,120 Speaker 1: a hot quarterback in a pass rush, which as good 1689 01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:10,400 Speaker 1: as their pass rush was last year, you know, Post 1690 01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 1: have missed a big chunk of time keeping him healthy 1691 01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,599 Speaker 1: for the full season. With Ingram. They drafted Jerry Tillery 1692 01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,599 Speaker 1: in the first round, who can rush inside kid last 1693 01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,880 Speaker 1: year at tending to Will soup usc it can help them. 1694 01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:26,479 Speaker 1: They've got wives of pass rushers. So that's the formula 1695 01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:28,439 Speaker 1: for me. I mean, that's where it is. It's it's 1696 01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,560 Speaker 1: getting getting ability to get after the quarterback and the 1697 01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:32,560 Speaker 1: ability for a quarterback to play well for you, and 1698 01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:34,640 Speaker 1: I think they've got a chance to do both. One thing, 1699 01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 1: one last thing, Daniel, I want to ask you about 1700 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:38,880 Speaker 1: before we go, and it's flipping around to the other 1701 01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:40,960 Speaker 1: side of the ball. You also had five defensive Player 1702 01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:42,880 Speaker 1: of the Year candidates guys you were kind of looking for. 1703 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,040 Speaker 1: Obviously there's Aaron Donald, von Miller and Khalil Mack are 1704 01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:47,960 Speaker 1: on that, but you also had two other names. I 1705 01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,840 Speaker 1: want you to touch on, Derwin James and of course 1706 01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:54,040 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, the young defensive lineman from the Cleveland Browns. 1707 01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:55,840 Speaker 1: What can you tell me about Drwin James and Miles 1708 01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:59,599 Speaker 1: Garrett that puts them on this list. Sure with Derwin, 1709 01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:03,360 Speaker 1: you know last year he was incredible just with everything 1710 01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:05,920 Speaker 1: he was able to do as a rookie to impact 1711 01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 1: that team. And you talk to Gus Bradley, he'll tell 1712 01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:11,200 Speaker 1: you Derwin James is the leader that defense is a rookie, 1713 01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,879 Speaker 1: which is so rare. But the heightweights need the playmaking ability, 1714 01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:19,120 Speaker 1: that's all evident. What I think could take his game 1715 01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:21,519 Speaker 1: to the next level this year is they went out 1716 01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:25,240 Speaker 1: and they drafted a kid in the second round this year, Adderlie, 1717 01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,759 Speaker 1: which is going to give them a true free safety. 1718 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:31,360 Speaker 1: Last year, Derwin had to bounce back and forth depending 1719 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,720 Speaker 1: on the game he's gonna play higher, whether he's going 1720 01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:36,479 Speaker 1: to play low. But having this year Adderlie there, and 1721 01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:38,799 Speaker 1: they also have another kid in Rashon Jenkins that's developing. 1722 01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:41,519 Speaker 1: If they can allow Derwin to play in the box 1723 01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:44,760 Speaker 1: and be that kind of rolled up safety, he's gonna 1724 01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:46,840 Speaker 1: have a bunch of sacks. He's gonna have a bunch 1725 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 1: of impact plays. He's gonna be a stut stuff for 1726 01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,080 Speaker 1: down there. So that to me is when I see 1727 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:54,400 Speaker 1: him having a big gear. And then you go to 1728 01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:57,680 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. You know, Miles Garrett with the help that 1729 01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:01,280 Speaker 1: they've added on the defensive line in Cleveland. He's as 1730 01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:04,040 Speaker 1: as gifted as any pass rusher in the league, and 1731 01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:05,680 Speaker 1: now teams aren't going to be able to focus on 1732 01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,760 Speaker 1: him quite as much. So he got offense with their 1733 01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:11,960 Speaker 1: additions with Odell and everything, they have their firepower. Wise, 1734 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,600 Speaker 1: you get a talented pass rusher with some help on 1735 01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:16,960 Speaker 1: the defensive line that plays with the lead. That's a 1736 01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:20,760 Speaker 1: recipe for success. Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Draft Network, Thanks for this. 1737 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:22,519 Speaker 1: I know you had to juggle your schedule around to 1738 01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:24,240 Speaker 1: fit us in.

He was a third 1759 01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:31,320 Speaker 1: round draft pick turned into turned in one of the 1760 01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:35,200 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame type career with the Carolina Panthers and 1761 01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:37,559 Speaker 1: then ended up with the Baltimore Ravens.

We'll ask him 1766 01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:49,960 Speaker 1: about that. We also are asking you, our listeners, about 1767 01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:52,599 Speaker 1: the player who is not on the Buffalo Bills who 1768 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:56,280 Speaker 1: you are the most excited about seeing play this season. 1769 01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:59,280 Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen. Is there anybody around the National Football League 1770 01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:01,360 Speaker 1: that you want to see the year? Certainly we've had 1771 01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:04,720 Speaker 1: some input about guys like Patrick Mahomes, JJ Watts, some 1772 01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:07,360 Speaker 1: of the more famous guys. Aaron Donald has been mentioned 1773 01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:09,479 Speaker 1: once or twice. But which NFL player not on the 1774 01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:11,960 Speaker 1: Bills are you most excited to watch in twenty nineteen? 1775 01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:14,960 Speaker 1: From Douggie, he says, I'm a diehard Bills fan, but 1776 01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:17,960 Speaker 1: I live in Seattle, so I'm gonna pick a Seahawk. 1777 01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,559 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what Tyler Lockett does. Doug Baldwin 1778 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:23,520 Speaker 1: is gone, and I think Tyler can be a superstar. 1779 01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,519 Speaker 1: The door is wide open for him. Also from Andrew 1780 01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, I like to see how he performs in 1781 01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:30,880 Speaker 1: the new system, on a new team. He's gonna have 1782 01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:34,360 Speaker 1: a lot of personal, personal ammunition to prove that he 1783 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:37,080 Speaker 1: is better than what people have said about him. There's 1784 01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:39,599 Speaker 1: something to be said for that. I don't know if 1785 01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:41,479 Speaker 1: if any of you are in the same boat i am, 1786 01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:43,240 Speaker 1: And if you do, if you want to talk about it, 1787 01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:44,599 Speaker 1: you can't. You can call us at eight h three 1788 01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:47,360 Speaker 1: oh five fifty or one eight eight fifty two five 1789 01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:53,360 Speaker 1: fifty one bills live. I have a big we all 1790 01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:55,240 Speaker 1: get caught so caught up in the moment. I'm worse. 1791 01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm probably worse at this than most people, even particularly 1792 01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:00,519 Speaker 1: for a guy who played the game. I'm a kind 1793 01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,280 Speaker 1: of a hearing now guy. I'm focused on what's in 1794 01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,080 Speaker 1: front of me and I keep going moving forward. But 1795 01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:07,719 Speaker 1: I think, you know, you could almost make a living 1796 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,439 Speaker 1: going backing. And now with social media, you see people 1797 01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,000 Speaker 1: do this where you go back and you pull old 1798 01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:14,479 Speaker 1: tweets out and guys have to, you know, pay the 1799 01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:17,439 Speaker 1: price for the stupid things they said early in their life. 1800 01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:22,320 Speaker 1: But I like to go back and see guys keep 1801 01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:27,120 Speaker 1: track of guys who were vilified, who were you know, 1802 01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,960 Speaker 1: the draft analysts said they couldn't play the team, a 1803 01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:33,479 Speaker 1: team passed on him and said something disparaging when they 1804 01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:36,680 Speaker 1: picked a different guy. All of this stuff you've heard 1805 01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:40,479 Speaker 1: that we had guys on Tyler Dunn who talked to 1806 01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,040 Speaker 1: us about Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers still carries a chip 1807 01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:46,040 Speaker 1: on his shoulder that Mike McCarthy, the guy who became 1808 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:49,760 Speaker 1: his head coach in Green Bay, was on the San 1809 01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:52,639 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers staff and the year that Aaron 1810 01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:57,320 Speaker 1: Rodgers was drafted, and he said that Alex Smith, who 1811 01:32:57,439 --> 01:32:59,759 Speaker 1: was the number one overall pick by the San Francisco 1812 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,040 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, was a better draft pick, a better 1813 01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:04,880 Speaker 1: quarterback than Aaron Rodgers. Then ultimately those two ended up 1814 01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:09,880 Speaker 1: being on the same team, Mike McCarthy being his head coach. 1815 01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:13,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers never forgot it that the guy who is 1816 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,880 Speaker 1: his head coach had passed him up for Alex Smith 1817 01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,320 Speaker 1: and the guys. And one thing about it is it's 1818 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,080 Speaker 1: part of the mentality of being a professional athlete. It's 1819 01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,360 Speaker 1: part about setting a challenge out there for yourself and 1820 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:25,720 Speaker 1: going out and meeting it and putting it obstacles in 1821 01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:28,080 Speaker 1: front of yourself in order to motivate yourself to work 1822 01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:32,120 Speaker 1: harder to get over those obstacles, whether they're real or imagined. 1823 01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:36,639 Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons also that, bless their heart, 1824 01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:40,040 Speaker 1: a lot of players continue to play this game when 1825 01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:42,120 Speaker 1: maybe they shouldn't have played this game, where they keep 1826 01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:44,240 Speaker 1: going through where they've had one or two concussions, or 1827 01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:46,720 Speaker 1: three or four knee operations, or a shoulder or what 1828 01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:49,679 Speaker 1: have you, whatever injury you can name. It's just another 1829 01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:52,400 Speaker 1: obstacle for these guys to overcome. We've seen it before 1830 01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:55,040 Speaker 1: with great quarterbacks. I know Steve Young almost had to 1831 01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:57,960 Speaker 1: be pride out of the pocket when his time with 1832 01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:00,519 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers came to an end and he 1833 01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,519 Speaker 1: got knocked cold on Monday Night football. He still wanted 1834 01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,240 Speaker 1: to play after that. Yeah, it has to be something 1835 01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:09,519 Speaker 1: within them that want makes these guys want to continue. 1836 01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:11,719 Speaker 1: And you see guys this year, and we had Daniel 1837 01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:15,200 Speaker 1: Jeremiah this year who pointed out there's gonna be guys 1838 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,479 Speaker 1: who got overlooked and who are going to use it 1839 01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:19,960 Speaker 1: as a chip on their shoulder for the rest of 1840 01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,439 Speaker 1: their career. I like going back and looking through drafts 1841 01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:25,000 Speaker 1: and seeing really the current players who are really great, 1842 01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 1: who were just you know, afterthoughts at some point in 1843 01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:31,040 Speaker 1: their career. Kyle Williams, fifth round draft pick turned into 1844 01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:34,479 Speaker 1: a five time All Pro. Things like that happened in 1845 01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:36,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, and it's fun to go back and see him. 1846 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:37,240 Speaker 1: If you want to get in on a call us 1847 01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:39,000 Speaker 1: if you want coming up right now at the top 1848 01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:40,840 Speaker 1: of the hour, Henry Jones is going to come in 1849 01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 1: and speak with us, and we're gonna talk to a 1850 01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 1: mile former teammate, former Bill's safety first round draft pick 1851 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,120 Speaker 1: coming out up in a just about five minutes.

Atlanta is getting weary 1941 01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:55,760 Speaker 1: on me, man, wearing on traffick raff too big. So 1942 01:39:56,320 --> 01:39:59,200 Speaker 1: I like to coach looking at the coach and college 1943 01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:02,000 Speaker 1: or prof have you thought about inquiring into being like 1944 01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:04,160 Speaker 1: one of the interns getting into a camp for a 1945 01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:07,240 Speaker 1: couple of weeks coming out exactly. That's uh, that's the plan. Yeah, 1946 01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:09,320 Speaker 1: coming up. So yeah, that's good. Well we should be 1947 01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:11,599 Speaker 1: luck with that. I hope that that works. Yeah, great. 1948 01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:13,640 Speaker 1: I remember. I don't know, you probably don't remember this. 1949 01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:16,040 Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety one. We had just been to the super Bowl, 1950 01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:19,040 Speaker 1: last super Bowl twenty five, and that draft that year, 1951 01:40:19,200 --> 01:40:22,400 Speaker 1: we picked this safety out of Illinois, right and uh, 1952 01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:24,519 Speaker 1: and it was cool. So we were in training camp 1953 01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:28,960 Speaker 1: and the safety was holding out. Yeah, I don't like, 1954 01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:30,599 Speaker 1: I don't like to, but I do remember. I remember. 1955 01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:32,960 Speaker 1: So here's the thing. So we're a different kind of 1956 01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:35,840 Speaker 1: team even back then. Uh, because when the young guys 1957 01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:37,640 Speaker 1: came in, there was a little bit of ribbious up, 1958 01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:39,439 Speaker 1: but we kind of we didn't like put him off 1959 01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:41,400 Speaker 1: and make them earn. We kind of embraced him. Like 1960 01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:43,320 Speaker 1: once you were on the team, you were, particularly a 1961 01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:45,040 Speaker 1: guy like you, a first round draft pick, you, we 1962 01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:46,880 Speaker 1: kind of put our arms trunk. So you were holding out. 1963 01:40:47,320 --> 01:40:51,160 Speaker 1: So we had a preseason game in Chicago, the first 1964 01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 1: time I ever laid eyes on you, So I actually 1965 01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,599 Speaker 1: made the second is I recognize you. You were standing 1966 01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:59,120 Speaker 1: in the stands round at the railing watching us in pregame. 1967 01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:01,720 Speaker 1: I remember that watching Now, what was that like for you? 1968 01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:03,840 Speaker 1: Or and you knew your hold now you wanted to play. 1969 01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:06,160 Speaker 1: You knew you were going to a really good football team. 1970 01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:07,840 Speaker 1: But yet you know, yet the business end of it 1971 01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,160 Speaker 1: gotten the way. Yeah, I mean at that point, when 1972 01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:12,120 Speaker 1: you're young like that and you get drafted, you really 1973 01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:14,080 Speaker 1: have to trust the people that you hired to make 1974 01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:17,200 Speaker 1: those kind of business decisions. And uh, you know, my 1975 01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:19,519 Speaker 1: agent and I felt that it was the right move. 1976 01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:22,160 Speaker 1: And I knew that I was gonna be behind coming 1977 01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:24,439 Speaker 1: into camp, and I knew that it was a veteran 1978 01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:26,519 Speaker 1: football team. I have to earn my way on to 1979 01:41:26,680 --> 01:41:29,639 Speaker 1: it and earn you guys respect. And that was one 1980 01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:31,439 Speaker 1: thing that was weighing heavily on me while I while 1981 01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:35,400 Speaker 1: I held out that month. But yeah, it wasn't forever. Yeah, 1982 01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:36,680 Speaker 1: I mean it was right. I mean I came, I 1983 01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:41,080 Speaker 1: signed the week of the first game, so yeah, I 1984 01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:44,519 Speaker 1: mean it wasn't easy. And I knew that you guys 1985 01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:47,240 Speaker 1: were gonna be tough. I didn't know exactly how tough, 1986 01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:50,320 Speaker 1: but I mean, for the most part, everybody accepted me. 1987 01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:54,280 Speaker 1: It's an uncomfortable position exactly because you're trying to be teammates. 1988 01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:55,920 Speaker 1: You know, I didn't know you know, I didn't know 1989 01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:58,200 Speaker 1: you guys. You guys didn't know me. I know you 1990 01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:00,439 Speaker 1: guys would be understanding about the money asked back of it, 1991 01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:03,360 Speaker 1: but who knows. And also you you walk in there 1992 01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:06,760 Speaker 1: and it's not it's different because you're not with kids, 1993 01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,160 Speaker 1: your own age, You're not Tige's not seen you. Yeah, 1994 01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:11,479 Speaker 1: some of these guys are thirty years old and they 1995 01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:14,040 Speaker 1: got you know, watching mortgages and all that. Most of 1996 01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:16,439 Speaker 1: you guys have been on the team in the NFL 1997 01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:19,519 Speaker 1: seven six, seven, eight years already, So I mean it's 1998 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:22,040 Speaker 1: it's a different dynamic for sure. Well you're handled it 1999 01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:23,680 Speaker 1: well because the next next year you went to the 2000 01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:25,760 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. What do you remember, what are your fondest members? 2001 01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:27,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you went to three Super Bowls your first 2002 01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:29,639 Speaker 1: three years in the league. It had to be kind 2003 01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:31,120 Speaker 1: of a little bit of a whirlwind, but also had 2004 01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:33,320 Speaker 1: to be some great members. Absolutely a whirldwind. I mean, 2005 01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:35,640 Speaker 1: just being drafted by the Bills at that time was just, 2006 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:39,280 Speaker 1: I mean a ridiculous dream come true. Playing with all 2007 01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:41,760 Speaker 1: you Hall of Fame guys. It's just was amazing. And 2008 01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:46,519 Speaker 1: you don't say you have those future future Hall of Famers, 2009 01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:50,680 Speaker 1: say those guys. But yeah, that that second year was 2010 01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:52,519 Speaker 1: really special. I mean the ball just seemed to be 2011 01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:56,280 Speaker 1: coming my way a lot and really took advantage of 2012 01:42:56,320 --> 01:42:58,479 Speaker 1: some of those plays and made some good plays. It 2013 01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:00,120 Speaker 1: was a fun group to be a part of, no 2014 01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:01,720 Speaker 1: question about it. It was a fun We're talking with 2015 01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:04,439 Speaker 1: Bill's safety Henry Jones, who's in town for the Rookie 2016 01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:06,920 Speaker 1: Club now, the first the people who bought their season 2017 01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:09,240 Speaker 1: tickets for the first time this year, they call at 2018 01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:11,800 Speaker 1: the Rookie Club and they're having a special event for him. 2019 01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:14,639 Speaker 1: Any idea how many people are going to be No idea.

And so what do you do you 2024 01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:28,200 Speaker 1: get You don't get back here too much, right, especially coaching. Yeah, 2025 01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:30,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to get back more, Um, when I get 2026 01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:33,760 Speaker 1: these girls into school and then hopefully I'll be back 2027 01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:36,240 Speaker 1: a little bit more and maybe comes see some games. Yeah. 2028 01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:38,439 Speaker 1: So when you came, you were with the Buffalo Bill's 2029 01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:41,360 Speaker 1: ninety one through two thousand and then h you went 2030 01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:43,920 Speaker 1: over and he played with Minnesota and then Atlanta. What 2031 01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:45,240 Speaker 1: are you What are your thoughts and what was it 2032 01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:47,600 Speaker 1: like going from a team like you were with in 2033 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,599 Speaker 1: Buffalo and then and then moving over to another franchise 2034 01:43:50,640 --> 01:43:52,720 Speaker 1: and the differences in the similarity. Yeah, you know, that's 2035 01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:55,880 Speaker 1: a big transition after you've been somewhere for ten years, um, 2036 01:43:56,240 --> 01:43:59,400 Speaker 1: and then just going into a totally different locker rooms, 2037 01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:02,840 Speaker 1: difference situation. In Minnesota, they picked me up halfway through 2038 01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:06,439 Speaker 1: the season, so that was really different. Um. I don't 2039 01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:10,120 Speaker 1: think I handled the transition as well as I could have. Again, 2040 01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:12,519 Speaker 1: difficult about it. Well, they again they had a veteran, 2041 01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:14,840 Speaker 1: a good veteran team as well with They had Dante 2042 01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:20,559 Speaker 1: called Pepper, Chris Carter, Randy Moss was there, Hi, Dannis 2043 01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:22,720 Speaker 1: Green was head coach. Jannis Green was my head coach 2044 01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:25,519 Speaker 1: in college. Okay, yeah he was. He had some real 2045 01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:29,200 Speaker 1: strong personality, really good, good guy. Um. I mean, I'm 2046 01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:32,559 Speaker 1: sure there's some things I could have done better learning 2047 01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:35,000 Speaker 1: their schemes and fitting in with those guys, but it 2048 01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:36,599 Speaker 1: just was a little different, and I was still kind 2049 01:44:36,600 --> 01:44:39,320 Speaker 1: of shell shocked from leaving Buffalo. So it's a big 2050 01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:41,760 Speaker 1: transition definitely. And when then you ended up and you 2051 01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:44,880 Speaker 1: went down to Atlanta and and where you live now, 2052 01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:47,720 Speaker 1: now that was a lot smoother transition because Wade was 2053 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:49,960 Speaker 1: down there as a decordinator, got you. Yeah, so it 2054 01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:52,680 Speaker 1: was his defense and all the terminology was I was 2055 01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:54,840 Speaker 1: used to. So again I was back in my comfort 2056 01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:57,040 Speaker 1: zone down there, and then I had a home down there, 2057 01:44:57,120 --> 01:45:00,479 Speaker 1: so that helped a situation as well. Right, so as 2058 01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:02,439 Speaker 1: you can't find yourself back in Buffalo, you're gonna talk 2059 01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:05,519 Speaker 1: to the rookie club? Do you do you keep I 2060 01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:07,680 Speaker 1: mean some guys do. If some guys don't. I get 2061 01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:10,880 Speaker 1: the feeling you're just you're coaching track. Do you keep 2062 01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:13,200 Speaker 1: the NFL and all that stuff at arm's length? It's like, 2063 01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:14,920 Speaker 1: you know, I got I got a life. I gotta 2064 01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:17,280 Speaker 1: live because some guys do that. No, you know what. 2065 01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:20,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to season starting. Actually, oh yeah, and 2066 01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:26,880 Speaker 1: I played Fantasy ball, so oh yeah, the guy had 2067 01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:28,640 Speaker 1: he was last year. That was a good pick by 2068 01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:31,160 Speaker 1: one of my friends. But I had some good guys 2069 01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:33,200 Speaker 1: on my team. I played for the championship last year, 2070 01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:35,240 Speaker 1: did you yeah, and you didn't win. I didn't win. 2071 01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:37,320 Speaker 1: He didn't. I don't know what. My guys shut it down. 2072 01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:39,320 Speaker 1: And I had Girley he didn't play well in the playoffs. Well, 2073 01:45:39,400 --> 01:45:41,840 Speaker 1: yeah he is s I guess he was nursing something. 2074 01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:44,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, now he's got that arthritic knee, that Terrell 2075 01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:46,760 Speaker 1: Davis kind of knee. And then I had Tyreek Hill. 2076 01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:50,320 Speaker 1: How many guys are in your league? Just ten? Ten? Yeah? 2077 01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:53,280 Speaker 1: So is that that means you get how many rounds? 2078 01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:56,880 Speaker 1: I take that back, I'm sorry, there are five of 2079 01:45:57,040 --> 01:45:59,960 Speaker 1: us that everybody has a good team. If you're only 2080 01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:03,639 Speaker 1: five guys, everybody got ball stars. You got to score 2081 01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:06,479 Speaker 1: some score points. So that so that you go deep 2082 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:08,759 Speaker 1: into the draft. Yeah, and you go like twelve rounds 2083 01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 1: exactly right, And I got my bench is full of stars. 2084 01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:15,439 Speaker 1: So so how do you Okay, So that's how you 2085 01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:18,160 Speaker 1: keep track of the league with fantastic stuff?

We've got 2257 01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:50,640 Speaker 1: from everybody from uh you can come in and you 2258 01:54:50,680 --> 01:54:53,240 Speaker 1: can chime in if you want, but from Tyler Lockett 2259 01:54:53,720 --> 01:54:56,800 Speaker 1: for goodness sakes, and of course Josh Rosen from the 2260 01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:59,440 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. They want to see that kid play play quarterback. 2261 01:54:59,840 --> 01:55:04,720 Speaker 1: If Josh Rosen gets on the field, I think it's 2262 01:55:04,760 --> 01:55:08,320 Speaker 1: only because Ryan Fitzpatrick started to play like Ryan Fitzpatrick plays. 2263 01:55:08,360 --> 01:55:11,400 Speaker 1: After he plays great, We've all seen that happen as well. 2264 01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:13,960 Speaker 1: We've got all that stuff going on. We also have 2265 01:55:14,440 --> 01:55:16,000 Speaker 1: coming up in a minute. I don't know if I'll 2266 01:55:16,160 --> 01:55:19,640 Speaker 1: get to it right away. NFL true false, And what 2267 01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:22,080 Speaker 1: do we learn from all the things? We also aired 2268 01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,000 Speaker 1: us an interview. If you want to go back and 2269 01:55:25,080 --> 01:55:28,160 Speaker 1: listen to this, you can. Probably it's Steve Smith, who 2270 01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:30,800 Speaker 1: was in Buffalo at One Bill's Drive talking to the 2271 01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:34,160 Speaker 1: team this offseason. Sean McDermott brought him in and asked 2272 01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:35,920 Speaker 1: him to give them a speech about what it meant 2273 01:55:35,960 --> 01:55:38,600 Speaker 1: to be a professional, what it meant to sacrifice for 2274 01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:41,480 Speaker 1: your craft Steve Smith, a former third round pick who 2275 01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:44,560 Speaker 1: turned into what some people believe as a Hall of 2276 01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:47,640 Speaker 1: Famer as a wide receiver, and I might be on 2277 01:55:47,760 --> 01:55:49,480 Speaker 1: board with that as well. He wore a number eighty 2278 01:55:49,520 --> 01:55:50,880 Speaker 1: nine a lot better than I did when I was 2279 01:55:50,920 --> 01:55:55,000 Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill. So with that, let's I'm gonna I'm 2280 01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:57,200 Speaker 1: gonna move this and I'm gonna go ahead and go NFL. 2281 01:55:57,280 --> 01:55:59,960 Speaker 1: True false brought to you by Yancey's fancy New York's 2282 01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:02,600 Speaker 1: artists in Cheese. And the first true false we have 2283 01:56:04,160 --> 01:56:07,280 Speaker 1: has to deal with wide receivers, and it goes like this, 2284 01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:11,000 Speaker 1: Julio Jones will become the highest paid receiver in the 2285 01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:14,080 Speaker 1: National Football League. True or false. I think it's true. 2286 01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:16,520 Speaker 1: He's got He's not going to hold out for a 2287 01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:19,680 Speaker 1: new deal. He has said that, and Julio he deserves it. 2288 01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:21,600 Speaker 1: And if you look at what he's done. Some of 2289 01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:24,000 Speaker 1: us miss it because we're in the AFC here in Buffalo, 2290 01:56:24,360 --> 01:56:27,600 Speaker 1: and we missed the chance to talk about guys who 2291 01:56:27,720 --> 01:56:30,000 Speaker 1: play over in the other conference, particularly guys you don't 2292 01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:33,720 Speaker 1: see once once or twice every decade, every three years 2293 01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:36,320 Speaker 1: or three times a decade. Where would you put Atlantic 2294 01:56:36,520 --> 01:56:40,760 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, does he qualify even 2295 01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:43,240 Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame At this point, he might 2296 01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:46,160 Speaker 1: be in the top ten of all time. He's got 2297 01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:49,440 Speaker 1: over ten thousand yards and he's only played in eight seasons. 2298 01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:54,520 Speaker 1: He's had one hundred and four total games. That's faster 2299 01:56:54,680 --> 01:56:58,920 Speaker 1: than any other player in NFL history. The other other 2300 01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:02,480 Speaker 1: receivers ever come. Calvin Johnson did that, got ten thousand 2301 01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:05,480 Speaker 1: yards in a one hundred and fifteen games. Tory Holt 2302 01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:07,840 Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown did it, but they did it in 2303 01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:10,760 Speaker 1: a one hundred and sixteen games, and Julio Jones sits 2304 01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,280 Speaker 1: there with ten thousand yards in one hundred and four 2305 01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:16,240 Speaker 1: total games in his first eight seasons. Julio Jones might 2306 01:57:16,240 --> 01:57:18,520 Speaker 1: be able to retire right now and get into the 2307 01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:20,240 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame if you put it in those terms. 2308 01:57:20,760 --> 01:57:22,360 Speaker 1: But he has said that he's not going to hold 2309 01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:25,120 Speaker 1: out because Arthur Blank, the owner of the Atlanta Falcons, 2310 01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:27,800 Speaker 1: has said he wants to make sure Julio Jones is 2311 01:57:27,880 --> 01:57:31,200 Speaker 1: a Falcon for life, to quote the owner of the Falcons, 2312 01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:33,600 Speaker 1: So Julio Jones is not going to hold out. He 2313 01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:37,040 Speaker 1: has said that Arthur Blank's word is as good as gold. 2314 01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to go play and I know that he's 2315 01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:40,960 Speaker 1: going to take care of me. We've seen it happen before. 2316 01:57:41,160 --> 01:57:43,960 Speaker 1: Players will do this, and it's always a risk because 2317 01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:46,760 Speaker 1: he may get hurt. But Julio Jones is in line 2318 01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:49,520 Speaker 1: for another contract. He's done it. He's gotten to ten 2319 01:57:49,560 --> 01:57:51,760 Speaker 1: thousand yards in his career faster than any other player. 2320 01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:54,200 Speaker 1: He's eight years into his career. I think he's still 2321 01:57:54,280 --> 01:57:56,240 Speaker 1: in his prime. He's still one of those guys. You 2322 01:57:56,360 --> 01:57:58,440 Speaker 1: think about that if you wanted to start a team, 2323 01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:00,760 Speaker 1: if you get a guy off one of the other teams, 2324 01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:03,080 Speaker 1: Julio Jones might be at the top of that list. 2325 01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:04,560 Speaker 1: And I know he's at the top of the list. 2326 01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:08,880 Speaker 1: If you're talking about guys who play wide receiver, certainly 2327 01:58:08,880 --> 01:58:10,680 Speaker 1: he might make a case for a quarterback or a 2328 01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:13,480 Speaker 1: running backer or somebody else to start a franchise with. 2329 01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:15,960 Speaker 1: But if you talk about wide receivers, Julio Jones is 2330 01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:18,720 Speaker 1: the first name out of everybody's mouth. So I think, yeah, 2331 01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:21,080 Speaker 1: that's true. Julio Jones is going to become the highest 2332 01:58:21,120 --> 01:58:23,600 Speaker 1: paid wide receiver of the National Football League. And it's 2333 01:58:23,640 --> 01:58:25,840 Speaker 1: gonna happen because his owner has promised him he's gonna 2334 01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:28,280 Speaker 1: make him a Falcon for life, and Julio Jones is 2335 01:58:28,320 --> 01:58:31,280 Speaker 1: gonna sign that deal, and good for him. Do that, dude, 2336 01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:33,440 Speaker 1: I hope he does. It's gonna be fun to see 2337 01:58:33,480 --> 01:58:37,240 Speaker 1: because he's been killing it since his first day as 2338 01:58:37,280 --> 01:58:40,400 Speaker 1: a professional. NFL True false number two. This one is 2339 01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:43,200 Speaker 1: a little more dicey. Christian McCaffrey will join the one 2340 01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:46,160 Speaker 1: thousand and one thousand club in two nineteen. Now that 2341 01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:48,280 Speaker 1: means he's gonna run for a thousand yards and he's 2342 01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:51,560 Speaker 1: gonna catch a thousand yards in receiving. He plays for 2343 01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:54,200 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, who was a rookie last year. He 2344 01:58:54,320 --> 01:58:59,120 Speaker 1: played extremely well. He catches passes from Cam Newton. Last season, 2345 01:58:59,200 --> 01:59:02,840 Speaker 1: McCaffrey missed out on being the thousand thousand guy, but 2346 01:59:03,040 --> 01:59:05,600 Speaker 1: not by much. He finished one hundred and thirty three 2347 01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:08,640 Speaker 1: receiving yards short of the mark, and he had a 2348 01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:11,680 Speaker 1: thousand and ninety eight rushing yards on two hundred and 2349 01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:16,120 Speaker 1: nineteen attempts. Think about that, two hundred and nineteen attempts 2350 01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:19,760 Speaker 1: and he rushed for a thousand yards. That's not very 2351 01:59:19,800 --> 01:59:21,920 Speaker 1: many carries for a thousand yards, and he holding one 2352 01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:25,120 Speaker 1: hundred and seven receptions. That is the most ever for 2353 01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:28,200 Speaker 1: a running back in one season in National Football League history, 2354 01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:30,720 Speaker 1: but he only had eight hundred and sixty seven yards 2355 01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:32,680 Speaker 1: receiving to do it, so he missed out on the 2356 01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:36,440 Speaker 1: thousand thousand club. I think he's gonna get it this year. 2357 01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:40,800 Speaker 1: I think that's true. I think he's established himself as 2358 01:59:40,880 --> 01:59:43,960 Speaker 1: a quality guy for the Carolina Panthers. I think they're 2359 01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:45,840 Speaker 1: going to depend on him. And let's face it, if 2360 01:59:45,840 --> 01:59:48,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna get into the thousand thousand club, it's for 2361 01:59:48,680 --> 01:59:52,200 Speaker 1: one reason, opportunity. They're gonna give him the chance to 2362 01:59:52,320 --> 01:59:55,520 Speaker 1: carry the ball. They're gonna trust him that. I think 2363 01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:58,240 Speaker 1: he earned their trust last year. I think Cam Newton, 2364 01:59:58,320 --> 02:00:00,920 Speaker 1: coming back off a shoulder surgery, I think he's learned 2365 02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:03,920 Speaker 1: his lesson about taking hits that he doesn't need to take. 2366 02:00:04,560 --> 02:00:06,600 Speaker 1: And I think Christian Caffrey might be one of the 2367 02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:09,080 Speaker 1: only guys in the league who's going to get a 2368 02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:12,440 Speaker 1: chance to carry the ball enough to get a thousand 2369 02:00:12,520 --> 02:00:15,800 Speaker 1: yards rushing and with one hundred and seven receptions last 2370 02:00:15,880 --> 02:00:19,760 Speaker 1: year there, I don't think they're gonna not give him 2371 02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:22,040 Speaker 1: a chance to carry the football. Now, certainly some of 2372 02:00:22,080 --> 02:00:24,640 Speaker 1: those opportunities last year, and for those of you familiar 2373 02:00:24,680 --> 02:00:28,080 Speaker 1: with the Carolina Panthers, Cam Newton had a bad throwing arm, 2374 02:00:28,360 --> 02:00:31,400 Speaker 1: a bad throwing shoulder almost all of last season, if 2375 02:00:31,480 --> 02:00:34,560 Speaker 1: not all season. He just couldn't get the football down 2376 02:00:34,640 --> 02:00:37,000 Speaker 1: the field. He didn't look anything like the Cam Newton 2377 02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:40,080 Speaker 1: who was MVP in their Super Bowl year. And he 2378 02:00:40,200 --> 02:00:45,040 Speaker 1: gutted it out and played with his surgically repaired shoulder 2379 02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:47,040 Speaker 1: and the fact that it doesn't look like he's gonna 2380 02:00:47,040 --> 02:00:48,640 Speaker 1: miss any time, and he says he's gonna be a 2381 02:00:48,640 --> 02:00:52,240 Speaker 1: one hundred percent If Cam Newton comes back fully rehabilitated 2382 02:00:52,280 --> 02:00:56,480 Speaker 1: from a shoulder operation, does that change his ability or 2383 02:00:56,680 --> 02:00:58,760 Speaker 1: a desire to throw it short to a running back. 2384 02:00:59,200 --> 02:01:02,120 Speaker 1: Does McCaffrey have like ninety catches instead of one hundred 2385 02:01:02,120 --> 02:01:04,640 Speaker 1: and seven catches or sixty catches instead of one hundred 2386 02:01:04,640 --> 02:01:07,880 Speaker 1: and seven catches. Does he starts spreading the football deeper 2387 02:01:07,920 --> 02:01:11,080 Speaker 1: down the field. Cam Newton struggled last year throwing the football, 2388 02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:14,920 Speaker 1: And I think McCaffrey was a beneficiary that. So having 2389 02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:19,160 Speaker 1: said all of that, I still think McCaffrey is gonna 2390 02:01:19,200 --> 02:01:22,840 Speaker 1: turn into the guy Cam Newton trusts. The most one 2391 02:01:22,880 --> 02:01:26,959 Speaker 1: thing I know about quarterbacks, whether they're running quarterbacks, scrambling quarterbacks, 2392 02:01:27,040 --> 02:01:29,960 Speaker 1: or pure pocket passers. They like guys who when you 2393 02:01:30,040 --> 02:01:32,600 Speaker 1: throw it to him there it's an easy completion and 2394 02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:35,360 Speaker 1: who can turn it into a big play. McCaffrey is 2395 02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:37,120 Speaker 1: all of that, and Cam Newton is gonna dump it 2396 02:01:37,200 --> 02:01:39,360 Speaker 1: off to him, and the guy's gonna snap a couple 2397 02:01:39,440 --> 02:01:41,280 Speaker 1: tackles and he's gonna go for a big play, and 2398 02:01:41,360 --> 02:01:43,440 Speaker 1: Cam Newton's gonna get all the stats for it. Quarterbacks 2399 02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:46,160 Speaker 1: love that stuff, So I'm gonna say true to that 2400 02:01:46,240 --> 02:01:48,600 Speaker 1: one as well. I think Christian McCaffrey is going to 2401 02:01:48,680 --> 02:01:51,200 Speaker 1: join the thousand thousand club in two nineteen. That's an 2402 02:01:51,240 --> 02:01:55,720 Speaker 1: elite club. That's hard to do. If Christian McCaffrey does that, 2403 02:01:57,600 --> 02:02:00,360 Speaker 1: that says something about that kid, no question about it. 2404 02:02:01,040 --> 02:02:03,480 Speaker 1: I didn't think that was gonna be that would be possible, 2405 02:02:04,480 --> 02:02:06,840 Speaker 1: and I don't think it would have been a normal circumstances, 2406 02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:08,960 Speaker 1: you know. The more I think about it, I think 2407 02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:10,480 Speaker 1: one of the reasons he had a chance to catch 2408 02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:12,280 Speaker 1: one hundred and seven balls was because of the injury 2409 02:02:12,320 --> 02:02:14,760 Speaker 1: to his quarterback last year, where the guy didn't want 2410 02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:17,080 Speaker 1: to go down the field with it maybe now that 2411 02:02:17,200 --> 02:02:19,800 Speaker 1: he's had a season like that, Cam Newton will look 2412 02:02:19,840 --> 02:02:21,800 Speaker 1: for him more often than he would have had he 2413 02:02:22,200 --> 02:02:24,920 Speaker 1: had other options in McCaffrey's first year. So I'm gonna 2414 02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:27,280 Speaker 1: say true to Julio Jones becoming the highest paid wide 2415 02:02:27,320 --> 02:02:29,800 Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL. And I'm gonna say true to 2416 02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:33,360 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey joining the thousand thousand club in two nineteen 2417 02:02:33,400 --> 02:02:38,760 Speaker 1: now NFL true false number three. And this is one 2418 02:02:38,840 --> 02:02:40,200 Speaker 1: that I don't know if I can, if I can 2419 02:02:40,280 --> 02:02:43,720 Speaker 1: go too deep on, but it says that the New 2420 02:02:43,800 --> 02:02:48,440 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints have the best triplets in the National Football League. 2421 02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:55,480 Speaker 1: That means quarterback, running back, wide receiver. I don't know, 2422 02:02:55,600 --> 02:02:57,680 Speaker 1: that's that's hard to say. Let me see, I've got this. 2423 02:02:57,840 --> 02:03:01,040 Speaker 1: I've got this sit here, sitting here, and I think 2424 02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:02,920 Speaker 1: for one thing that when you look at these triplets, 2425 02:03:02,960 --> 02:03:06,480 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's hard to uh, it's hard to 2426 02:03:08,400 --> 02:03:10,960 Speaker 1: fathom these clubs because that's kind of the triplets. You 2427 02:03:11,040 --> 02:03:12,680 Speaker 1: think back when the when the Bills were going to 2428 02:03:12,720 --> 02:03:15,440 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, it was Jim Kelly Thurman, Thomas Andre Reid. 2429 02:03:15,480 --> 02:03:17,160 Speaker 1: When the Cowboys were going to the Super Bowl, it 2430 02:03:17,240 --> 02:03:19,800 Speaker 1: was Troy Aikman, it was Emmett Smith and it was 2431 02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:25,000 Speaker 1: Michael Irvin. UM. Now, I don't know that that's the 2432 02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:27,680 Speaker 1: way it necessarily works. Certainly, that's not the way it 2433 02:03:27,760 --> 02:03:30,920 Speaker 1: has ever worked for the Patriots. They they change their 2434 02:03:30,920 --> 02:03:32,680 Speaker 1: guys out and if you want to talk triplets to 2435 02:03:32,720 --> 02:03:38,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots, it's Tom Brady, Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski. Um. 2436 02:03:39,240 --> 02:03:41,920 Speaker 1: There's no running back in the mix. There so no 2437 02:03:42,120 --> 02:03:44,800 Speaker 1: question Drew Brees is an elite quarterback. I think he 2438 02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:48,080 Speaker 1: still continues to play at a high level. Alvin Kamara 2439 02:03:48,240 --> 02:03:51,560 Speaker 1: is We've seen it here. Uh he is awesome. And 2440 02:03:51,680 --> 02:03:55,000 Speaker 1: Thomas their wide receiver, is phenomenal. So they've I think 2441 02:03:55,040 --> 02:03:57,720 Speaker 1: there's no there's no reason to believe they aren't the 2442 02:03:57,800 --> 02:03:59,760 Speaker 1: best because for a lot of us, they should have 2443 02:03:59,760 --> 02:04:01,320 Speaker 1: gone the Super Bowl last year in place of the 2444 02:04:01,600 --> 02:04:04,960 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams after the egregious miss call in the 2445 02:04:05,080 --> 02:04:07,480 Speaker 1: championship game. I think they've got a few like they've 2446 02:04:07,480 --> 02:04:10,879 Speaker 1: been robbed. I think they're going to have an enormous 2447 02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:15,120 Speaker 1: and enormous chip on their shoulder to get back to 2448 02:04:15,200 --> 02:04:19,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs and skate through. I think the Saints are 2449 02:04:19,560 --> 02:04:21,640 Speaker 1: going to put together a season much like one of 2450 02:04:21,680 --> 02:04:24,080 Speaker 1: the teams I was on did back in the day 2451 02:04:25,080 --> 02:04:27,560 Speaker 1: when the Buffalo Bills lost Super Bowl twenty five to 2452 02:04:27,680 --> 02:04:32,360 Speaker 1: the New York Giants in the closest of games twenty 2453 02:04:32,400 --> 02:04:34,680 Speaker 1: to nineteen loss. We had a chance to win it. 2454 02:04:34,760 --> 02:04:38,240 Speaker 1: At the end, we couldn't get it done. And that 2455 02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:42,720 Speaker 1: entire offseason and through the regular seat, preseason, regular season 2456 02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:47,920 Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety one, the entire team had an enormous 2457 02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:51,320 Speaker 1: chip on their shoulder. We felt so deprived of the 2458 02:04:51,360 --> 02:04:53,960 Speaker 1: opportunity we didn't take advantage of in the super Bowl 2459 02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:56,120 Speaker 1: twenty five. We had to get back to super Bowl 2460 02:04:56,160 --> 02:04:59,240 Speaker 1: twenty six. It was the most stressful environment I've ever 2461 02:04:59,320 --> 02:05:01,560 Speaker 1: been a part of getting back to that super Bowl 2462 02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:04,880 Speaker 1: twenty six, where we ultimately lost to the Redskins. But 2463 02:05:05,040 --> 02:05:07,760 Speaker 1: that super Bowl twenty five set us up to be 2464 02:05:07,880 --> 02:05:12,520 Speaker 1: in a position to be so motivated and so intent 2465 02:05:13,320 --> 02:05:15,840 Speaker 1: on having a good season, and so intent on doing 2466 02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:18,600 Speaker 1: everything we could possibly do to win every single game 2467 02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:21,080 Speaker 1: to get back and just do it, just to grind 2468 02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:24,440 Speaker 1: it out to climb that mountain again. We I don't 2469 02:05:24,440 --> 02:05:26,040 Speaker 1: know that that team would have gotten back to the 2470 02:05:26,080 --> 02:05:28,960 Speaker 1: super Bowl super Bowl twenty six had they not missed 2471 02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:31,200 Speaker 1: a kick in Super Bowl twenty five. Had we not 2472 02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:33,280 Speaker 1: been able to get it done in Super Bowl twenty five, 2473 02:05:33,920 --> 02:05:35,800 Speaker 1: I think the New Orleans Saints are sitting in that 2474 02:05:35,960 --> 02:05:40,200 Speaker 1: exact seat this year in the National Football League. They 2475 02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:42,440 Speaker 1: have got to be sitting there thinking they wanted a 2476 02:05:42,560 --> 02:05:45,280 Speaker 1: shot at the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl 2477 02:05:45,360 --> 02:05:47,880 Speaker 1: and they didn't get it because of an egregious missed call. 2478 02:05:48,120 --> 02:05:50,560 Speaker 1: Wasn't even anything they did. It was a call that 2479 02:05:50,680 --> 02:05:52,640 Speaker 1: was missed. They would have given them a chance to 2480 02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:55,600 Speaker 1: go in score the go ahead to points. They couldn't 2481 02:05:55,600 --> 02:05:58,160 Speaker 1: get it done because of the call. It would have 2482 02:05:58,160 --> 02:06:00,360 Speaker 1: been an automatic first down. They could have pushed that 2483 02:06:00,400 --> 02:06:02,320 Speaker 1: football in, they could have gotten the points that would 2484 02:06:02,320 --> 02:06:04,320 Speaker 1: have taken to win the game. And they couldn't get 2485 02:06:04,360 --> 02:06:07,920 Speaker 1: it done. And that has got to stick in the 2486 02:06:08,040 --> 02:06:13,960 Speaker 1: crawl of Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, Sean Payton, the entire team, 2487 02:06:14,120 --> 02:06:16,200 Speaker 1: and I think you're gonna see something. You have a 2488 02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:18,200 Speaker 1: chance to see something really special from that team. Now, 2489 02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:20,040 Speaker 1: it may not show up in the wins and losses, 2490 02:06:20,040 --> 02:06:21,600 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what, the guys in that locker 2491 02:06:21,680 --> 02:06:25,120 Speaker 1: room and in that organization are going to be in 2492 02:06:25,200 --> 02:06:29,440 Speaker 1: a position where I think that is the most motivated 2493 02:06:29,520 --> 02:06:31,320 Speaker 1: team in football right now, and I think it's going 2494 02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:34,840 Speaker 1: to come through. I don't know that they're the best 2495 02:06:34,960 --> 02:06:39,520 Speaker 1: trio in football, but I'll tell you this, they're gonna 2496 02:06:39,560 --> 02:06:43,840 Speaker 1: be the ones that are the most highly motivated. Michael Thomas, 2497 02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:48,520 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees, those guys are gonna be really motivated. 2498 02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:49,640 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a lot of fun for 2499 02:06:49,720 --> 02:06:52,400 Speaker 1: New Orleans fans to watch this year, and I think 2500 02:06:52,480 --> 02:06:54,080 Speaker 1: a lot of teams are gonna be glad they don't 2501 02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:56,040 Speaker 1: have those guys on their roster. I think you look 2502 02:06:56,080 --> 02:07:00,360 Speaker 1: at their division with Carolina, with Tampa Bay, the guy 2503 02:07:00,440 --> 02:07:05,880 Speaker 1: I think that's in Atlanta, I think New Orleans gonna 2504 02:07:05,960 --> 02:07:08,120 Speaker 1: run off with it. To be very honest with you, 2505 02:07:08,160 --> 02:07:10,160 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be really highly motivated. So that's 2506 02:07:10,160 --> 02:07:12,480 Speaker 1: your NFL true false brought to you by Yancey's Fancy 2507 02:07:12,520 --> 02:07:14,960 Speaker 1: New York's Artists and Cheese. Yes, I think it's true 2508 02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:16,920 Speaker 1: that Julio Jones is going to be the highest paid 2509 02:07:16,960 --> 02:07:19,200 Speaker 1: wide receiver in the National Football League. Yes, I do 2510 02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:22,360 Speaker 1: think Christian McCaffrey will be a part of the thousand 2511 02:07:22,400 --> 02:07:24,800 Speaker 1: thousand club in twenty nineteen. I think he's gonna catch 2512 02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:26,920 Speaker 1: a thousand yards in receiving. I think he's gonna run 2513 02:07:27,080 --> 02:07:29,240 Speaker 1: rush for a thousand yards as well. And I do 2514 02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:31,640 Speaker 1: think the Saints, while I don't know that they'll have 2515 02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:34,800 Speaker 1: the best triplets in the National Football League with Drew Brees, 2516 02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:38,240 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara, I do think we're gonna 2517 02:07:38,240 --> 02:07:40,360 Speaker 1: see something special out of the New Orleans Saints this year, 2518 02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:42,840 Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see it. That's a team 2519 02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:45,480 Speaker 1: that's a club, even though they're not the club I 2520 02:07:45,560 --> 02:07:47,880 Speaker 1: watch and the club I follow, that's a club I'm 2521 02:07:47,960 --> 02:07:49,920 Speaker 1: rooting for this year because of what happened to him 2522 02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:52,200 Speaker 1: last year in the NFC Championship Game as well. So 2523 02:07:53,680 --> 02:07:55,360 Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting and it's gonna be a 2524 02:07:55,400 --> 02:07:57,720 Speaker 1: fun year. We're gonna take a break, We're gonna come 2525 02:07:57,760 --> 02:08:00,520 Speaker 1: back with with what do we learn.

He was on the show with 2546 02:09:02,160 --> 02:09:04,480 Speaker 1: us in studio today for the first hour and we 2547 02:09:04,560 --> 02:09:06,880 Speaker 1: asked him about this. Ed Oliver guy, the new first 2548 02:09:06,960 --> 02:09:09,120 Speaker 1: round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills. What's it mean 2549 02:09:09,240 --> 02:09:11,880 Speaker 1: being a three technique and how does he think ed 2550 02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:14,440 Speaker 1: Oliver's future stacks up here in Buffalo. And here's what 2551 02:09:14,520 --> 02:09:19,880 Speaker 1: Alex Kryton said. It's hard to replace the Kyle Williams. 2552 02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:23,120 Speaker 1: You can't. You can't replace him um as a leader, 2553 02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:28,680 Speaker 1: as a player, UM colleague, a guy that is very knowledgeable. 2554 02:09:28,920 --> 02:09:32,560 Speaker 1: But for ed uh, being physically fit and you know, 2555 02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:36,280 Speaker 1: being a good fit for that position. I think I 2556 02:09:36,400 --> 02:09:38,800 Speaker 1: think the kid has a really bright future. Um. The 2557 02:09:38,880 --> 02:09:42,960 Speaker 1: biggest thing for rookie coming in is is getting a 2558 02:09:43,080 --> 02:09:46,160 Speaker 1: vent and learning as much as you can as quick 2559 02:09:46,200 --> 02:09:50,680 Speaker 1: as possible, because you know, the rookie years is a whirlwind, man.

He's gifted, man. 2564 02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:09,880 Speaker 1: He'll he'll shine, He'll he'll do will That was Alex 2565 02:10:10,400 --> 02:10:13,440 Speaker 1: Carrington on Bill's defensive end at Oliver, what the former 2566 02:10:13,560 --> 02:10:16,240 Speaker 1: third round pick said about this year's first round pick. 2567 02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:19,280 Speaker 1: We also had Daniel Jeremiah on the program NFL Draft 2568 02:10:19,360 --> 02:10:22,680 Speaker 1: Network analyst and we talked to him about the Bills offseason. 2569 02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:25,600 Speaker 1: Not to everybody around the league really believes the Bills 2570 02:10:25,640 --> 02:10:28,120 Speaker 1: have improved, but there are some things that the Bills 2571 02:10:28,160 --> 02:10:30,080 Speaker 1: did that are gonna fly under the radar that he 2572 02:10:30,160 --> 02:10:32,960 Speaker 1: thinks you're gonna be really, really sharp and turn out 2573 02:10:33,040 --> 02:10:36,280 Speaker 1: exactly the way the Bills envisioned them. Here's what Daniel 2574 02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:42,280 Speaker 1: Jeremiah said about his favorite Buffalo Bill offseason moves. Yeah. 2575 02:10:42,280 --> 02:10:45,280 Speaker 1: I actually think that the Cole Beasley signing is one 2576 02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:48,240 Speaker 1: of the more underrated ones around the entire league. You know, 2577 02:10:48,280 --> 02:10:49,760 Speaker 1: he saw the Jets do the same thing when they 2578 02:10:49,760 --> 02:10:52,520 Speaker 1: went out got Crowder. Is trying to find a way 2579 02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:54,280 Speaker 1: to help you on quarterbacks. You do that by running 2580 02:10:54,280 --> 02:10:55,800 Speaker 1: the football, but y'all have to do that by having 2581 02:10:55,840 --> 02:10:58,560 Speaker 1: somebody that can help you out on third down. And 2582 02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:00,520 Speaker 1: I think Cole Beasley is going to be one of 2583 02:11:00,560 --> 02:11:02,160 Speaker 1: the better guys in that role. He's going to be 2584 02:11:02,200 --> 02:11:05,640 Speaker 1: able to uncover quickly, give him nine easy throws. So 2585 02:11:05,800 --> 02:11:09,160 Speaker 1: I like when you bring and maybe the most intriguing 2586 02:11:09,280 --> 02:11:12,120 Speaker 1: one to me of their additions in the office season 2587 02:11:12,160 --> 02:11:15,520 Speaker 1: at is Dalt Knock Because he didn't have the production 2588 02:11:15,560 --> 02:11:18,200 Speaker 1: in college for whatever reason. There was a lot of 2589 02:11:18,200 --> 02:11:20,200 Speaker 1: ballots to beat in that offense being one of them, 2590 02:11:20,280 --> 02:11:23,440 Speaker 1: but he is very athletic and It'll be fun to 2591 02:11:23,480 --> 02:11:25,920 Speaker 1: watch him grow with the young quarterback because he can 2592 02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:29,760 Speaker 1: really get down the team. That was Daniel Jeremiah, NFL 2593 02:11:29,920 --> 02:11:32,480 Speaker 1: Draft analysts, and his thoughts on some of his favorite 2594 02:11:32,520 --> 02:11:34,680 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill moves of the off season. Like to thank 2595 02:11:34,720 --> 02:11:36,720 Speaker 1: advanced to Lars for bringing us. What have we learned 2596 02:11:37,080 --> 02:11:39,960 Speaker 1: here today?

He's a former wide receiver in 2603 02:11:59,680 --> 02:12:03,200 Speaker 1: Carolina and obviously Sean McDermott worked with him when he 2604 02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:06,240 Speaker 1: was with the Panthers earlier in his coaching career. Steve 2605 02:12:06,320 --> 02:12:08,880 Speaker 1: Smith came in, talked to the team about professionalism, what 2606 02:12:08,960 --> 02:12:10,880 Speaker 1: it was going to take for them to be better, 2607 02:12:11,240 --> 02:12:14,000 Speaker 1: and he's a really inspiring guy and it was fun 2608 02:12:14,080 --> 02:12:17,440 Speaker 1: to hear Murph and Chris Brown talk to him about 2609 02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:19,800 Speaker 1: what it meant and some of the things about his career. 2610 02:12:20,120 --> 02:12:23,360 Speaker 1: Really interesting guy.

Sometimes they're very 2629 02:13:12,760 --> 02:13:17,000 Speaker 1: productive and rated low. Sometimes they're not very productive but 2630 02:13:17,120 --> 02:13:19,560 Speaker 1: rated very high.
