1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve taster who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: in the threaded bear of normalcy here tom Day Wednesday,

5
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: day two of mandatory minicamp. Chris Brown said, Taster with

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: you and we're fresh off the field is so hot

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: out it's got that bad. I hate practice. Steve was

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: perspiring just standing there. I think my heart I was okay,

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: I think my heart weak got I was standing there

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: watching pray. I think my heart was like one sixty two.

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: They were ready to escort you. My gosh, um, if

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: you hadn't left yourself. I was about I was about

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: ready to flop like an Italian soccer player. Ah. I

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: have to say before we get into all of the

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: u NFL news and notes, I am here to tell

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: you that I am holding in my heart an enormous

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: amount of pride for Steve Tasker. And this is why

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: last night, at about ten after ten, Steve texts me

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: literally as I'm about to text him, and he says,

20
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: are you watching this US soccer match in the mud pit?

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: And I don't know why, but I was beaming with pride.

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, unsolicited, tuned in probably by Happenstands Channel Surfing,

23
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: watched the US men's national team take on El Salvador

24
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: in what can be described as nothing more than a

25
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: mud pit because there were torrential rains the last three

26
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: days in El Salvador. The field was an abomination um

27
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: and the US was fortunate to pull out a tie

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: after the keeper made a terrible error in the first half.

29
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: They tied one one. You had told me the game

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: was going to be on a like ten o'clock, and

31
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, because nothing right, nothing whistle was on. So

32
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: I was and certainly I came across it. I'll just

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: I didn't like it was an appointment viewing for me,

34
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: I gotta say. But when I was on, here's here's

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: the thing for me and I a lot of people

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: are like this. I think it turn on. Okay, it's soccer.

37
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Who's playing. It's the US men's national team, right, I

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: gotta watch. Let's see how that is it? Right there?

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: And I had Politics the only guy I can even

40
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: name on the team, and and Alexei Lawless the analyst.

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: So I'm so I start watching and the US because

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: I grew up when soccer was something else. Yeah, and

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: the US is like handing it to these guys. I mean,

44
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: they they're han't there's it's like it used to be,

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: except US was playing like El Salvador, right, I mean

46
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: the US used to stink. Now not so much but

47
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: pretty good now. Um, despite the fact this is their

48
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: first World Cup in a while. They missed the last one, right,

49
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: So I'm watching, I'm like, Wow, we're what kind of

50
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: handed it to these guys? Of course it is a

51
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: mud pit. It's just an absolute mud hole. The skill

52
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: and the speed was out there. Even though in those conditions,

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: even the El Salvador Old Salvadorian fans were like they

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: were in Poncho's. Yeah, I mean I would you know.

55
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: It was horrible. It's like rainy season down there. It

56
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: was horrible. And uh and El Salvador pops in this

57
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: goal that was actually I got it was a really

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: good goal. The goalkeeper, not everybody in the short side.

59
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: He caught everybody flat footed. He rocketed one pass and

60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: the guy missed it. He missed it off his foot

61
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: because the guy was kind of the defender was in

62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: his way, and I think he missed it off the

63
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: guy's foot and he just froze him. So El Salvador's

64
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: up like fifteen minutes in the game. And then the

65
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: US loses a guy. We're down the card and I'm like,

66
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: so they're death minutes later. Here's what I'm here's here's me. Okay,

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: we go down a man. I watch a few more

68
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: minutes and I'm like, I'm it's ten forty five or ten,

69
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's ten fifty years later. Now. I'm like, bro,

70
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: I was off so I'm still now. I'm still fighting

71
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: jet lag from the vacation. So I'm like, I'm just

72
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: laying in bed. I cannot sleep. Put it back on,

73
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: I get it out. I'm and I'm scolling the time

74
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: and I go and it here. It pops up a

75
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: little highlight and congratulations hey. And then and I look

76
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: and I'm like fumbling around on the pitch black trying

77
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: to for some glasses on. I'm like, in the ninety

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: first minute, US comes back and spanks one in. I

79
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: was like, he ain't that nice? Yeah, so I was

80
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: nice showing some moxie there. Very happy for the goal

81
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: scorer Jordan Morris coming back from two acl knee surgeries

82
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: back to back over the last two years and is

83
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: on the national tiers. Same knee. Um. I think each

84
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: knee wow. I believe that's right. I'll have to double check.

85
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: But very happy that they showed some moxie and the

86
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: coach was like yelling, get back to midfield, let's go

87
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: get another one, because they were dominating the last twenty

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: minutes of that game. But it was a slop fest

89
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: for sure. It was it was interesting and that's the

90
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: last time we'll see them here for a little bit

91
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: before they play some more friendly matches closer to the

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: World Cup and they have their own professional seasons to

93
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: tend to as well. There is one other and I'm

94
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: not trying to bog the show down with soccer notes,

95
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: but it's related to the NFL broadcasting and where it's

96
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: going in the future. Major League Soccer just signed a

97
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: gigantic deal with Apple TV. Apple TV is going to

98
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: broadcast or stream, i should say, the next ten years

99
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: of Major League Soccer games and all related content. Fans

100
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: do not need to subscribe to Apple TV Plus to

101
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: subscribe to the MLS streaming service. It's going to be

102
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: a standalone service within the Apple TV ecosystem. The exact

103
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: price not yet determined. That's going to come next year.

104
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: But the reason this is important as far as the

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: NFL is concerned, is it is a it's like the

106
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: bat signal up in the sky. Like, yes, NFL, you

107
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: have your Thursday Night package on Amazon, that's streaming. But

108
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: if you want to become a true global brand, you're

109
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to partner up full time with a

110
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: lot more of your inventory with a streaming service. If

111
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: you want to be playing games in Australia and playing

112
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: playing regular season games in Africa and wherever else on

113
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: the map, you've got to push pins stuck in absolutely,

114
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: And we've known for a long time. It's think about it, Brownie.

115
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: It's been decades where the NFL has tried to globalize

116
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: the brand. This is the American American Bowls. You know,

117
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: games in Europe, games in London now, games in Germany

118
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: this year, and they're you know, slowly doing Mexico City games,

119
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and then most of them are preseason.

120
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: Now they've started to do the regular already talking about

121
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Australia though in twenty twenty four, I don't even want

122
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: to get into the logistics of that, But got to

123
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: be a west coast to west coasting dude, that doesn't matter.

124
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: You're by week next week for bowl. Oh my gosh,

125
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: by month like a different day. It's like a day.

126
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: You'll lose a day of your life, going yes, yes,

127
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: it's like a time warp. SOA's so they've been trying

128
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: to globalize it for a long long time, and this

129
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: at least gives them the venue broadcast wise, anybody can

130
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: watch it anywhere in the world. Anywhere in the world.

131
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: That's a difference maker. Now you can bet the league

132
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: is way out in front of the same They could

133
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: probably do a deal like that. Maybe, well, I think

134
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: the only now because think about it, they can say, listen,

135
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: you can have all the European rights Apple TV, you

136
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But that's still that's still just

137
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: a very small portion of their total inventory. And the

138
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: only reason I believe that the NFL hasn't gone all

139
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: in on streaming is because the money is still too

140
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: good on the linear television networks. They're still getting paid

141
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: enormous amounts of money, and as long as that money's there,

142
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: they'll keep tapping into it and say, Okay, fine, but

143
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: I think eventually there and maybe it's a piecemeal deal

144
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: as long as the major television networks continue forking over

145
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. We have seen the last what do

146
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: you call a linear TV. We've seen the last one

147
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: of those things. That's the last big deal. You think,

148
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: this last one that just got it's good till thirty two, right, yeah,

149
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: but that's the last one, right, So piecemeal now on,

150
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be either chopped up for billions of each

151
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: part or lumped up and streamed, lumped together and stream

152
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: because you got it's gotta go worldwide. Yeah, I think

153
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: more and more of the inventory is going to be

154
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: peeled away from the broadcast television networks. We already see

155
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: the Thursday nights, you know games they're going to Amazon,

156
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: as you suggested, Maybe it's all the games overseas go

157
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: somewhere so we can We'll sell you the rights in Japan,

158
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: We'll sell you the rights in Europe or Germany or

159
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: or you know, Austria or whatever. Apple TV. You have

160
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: the Pacific, you've got, you've got the rights in you know,

161
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: South America or whatever. They could do it anyway they want.

162
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: On I would think and that seems to be would

163
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: be and the money would be commensurate with whatever market

164
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: there is and whatever drive there is. But um, certainly

165
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be you know that. You can imagine, you know,

166
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: great Britain is gonna be a big number. Germany would

167
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: be a big number. Yes, and if they could peep,

168
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: if they could chalge, you know, I don't know how

169
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: they do that. I'm gonna I'm gonna ask some of

170
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: the people. I remember NFL Europe was big in Spain too,

171
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,359
Speaker 1: in Barcelona. They had a good team and good attendance.

172
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: I wonder if they could strike, you know, stoke that

173
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: fire again too in Spain. Yeah, I think the next

174
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: four I think that. I'm I think we're looking at

175
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: at thirty six teams and there's gonna be one in London, Berlin,

176
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: Paris and Barcelona, and it'll be it'll be it'll be

177
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: the European Division. I don't know if the French would

178
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah it is, but you know whatever, I could see that, Okay,

179
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: so they all right, you're out there. It'll be two

180
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: teams in Germany. Yeah, you could put two in yes

181
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: you could, and it will be Barcelona and London. Yeah, right,

182
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: so whatever, pick your team. Cities are irrelevant, That's what

183
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. Yeah, and it'll happen maybe at the same

184
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: time as the at the same time as the new

185
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: TV deal gets done, take a huge quantum leap forward.

186
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, it'd be interesting to keep an eye on

187
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: that and where it all goes. But this deal for

188
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Major League Soccer is tremendous for them two and a

189
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: half billion dollars over the next ten years, which for

190
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: professional soccer in this country, it's a game changer. I mean,

191
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: it fully insulates the financial viability of the league and

192
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: which is great to hear because as a kid growing up,

193
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, growing up with the New York Cosmos, a

194
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: lot of those indoor soccer leagues, you know, they run

195
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: for a while and then they would fold or run

196
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: for a while and then they would fold. This gives

197
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: the MLS, I mean, they're they're a stable operation to

198
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: begin with. This sustains them, you know for decades. It's different.

199
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: Now you've got every My kids are playing played soccer

200
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: when they were kids. Everybody plays soccer, just kids. It's

201
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: a non contact to see, it's very It's a great

202
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: alternative for parents who don't want their kids to wear helmets,

203
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: you know. And it's become a huge sport in this country,

204
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: which for decades and he well call it what centuries,

205
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: it was an afterthought. Now it's not so much. It's

206
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: it's a really big sport. There is major NFL signing

207
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: news today. It happened about an hour before we went

208
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: on the air. Steelers safety Minca Fitzpatrick, who was franchise

209
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: tagged by the Steelers, has agreed to terms on a

210
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: four year deal worth seventy three point six million dollars.

211
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: It includes thirty six million guaranteed, and this is important

212
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: because it averages out to eighteen point four million a season,

213
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: making him the highest paid safety in NFL history. And

214
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: the first thought I had, Steve, was does this make

215
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: this harder or easier to settle and resolve the Jordan

216
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: Poyer's yeah, right, Jordan Poyer's sitting there going okay, all

217
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: right now here, I will say Jordan's older. Yeah, that's

218
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: I think it's an Apple's to oranges thing. Both great players,

219
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: both can do a lot of things. In your defense.

220
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: Minka's will play this five years and be the same

221
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: age as poor Er is now. Yeah, that's after this five,

222
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: He's entering the prime of his career for the Steelers,

223
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: but poorer's the old pro correct so well, not for nothing,

224
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Minka is a Pro Bowl safety. I mean he's been

225
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: to a couple of those. Mike Tomlin called or a

226
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator the Steelers. Tarrell Austin called Manka Fitzpatrick a

227
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: unicorn in terms of all the things he can do

228
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: on the back end because he played some corner for

229
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: a little while at Alabama in college and then move

230
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: full time to safety, right, and he's got extraordinary physical gifts. Yeah,

231
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: he's and a nose first of all too. He's I mean,

232
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: you can come down cover slot guy, cover box, safety, tackle,

233
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: matchup knows for the football. He's got a lot of

234
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: instinctive all that stuff that you know you want your

235
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: guy to do. That's well, that's why it gets eighteen

236
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: million a year. Ye pay him the money, right, I'm

237
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: sure it will catch the eye of Jordan Poyer and

238
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: his representatives. But does it change things for the Bills.

239
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that it does, because the fact remains

240
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: that the bill still have only five and a half

241
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: million under the cap right now, right, and actually maybe

242
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: it's less after signing Greg van rot in the veteran Guard.

243
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: Their situation hasn't changed in terms of disposable revenue to

244
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: spend on players. That's why it's very interesting to see

245
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: where this is going to go and how they're going

246
00:13:53,840 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: to do this. My my best guess is the Bills

247
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: don't have any extra money to give to anybody that's

248
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: already on the roster and under contract, So you're gonna

249
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: have to get creative there. And I don't know if

250
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: you want to be adding years to a thirty one

251
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: year old safety's contract on the back, but maybe you

252
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: can move some money around to put it in his

253
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: pocket now as a bonus, you know what I'm saying, yea,

254
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: And if you could get him to do it, if

255
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: you more money up front. Here's the thing, and some

256
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: guys will devoidable. Yeah we can. We can contract if

257
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: they want to pay them the money, they can make

258
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: the money available. Um that's the way the cap works

259
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: these days. But it would take some some maneuvering. It

260
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: would take more than just Jordan Poor. You're saying, yes,

261
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: it would take some other guys restructuring their contract all this,

262
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: and if you could, you could do it any way,

263
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: you want. You could say you could do a like

264
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: a Bobby Benee a contract, say listen, we'll give you

265
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: all this money, but you gotta wait. You know, we're

266
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: gonna give you a little bit of a time, a

267
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: little bit of time all the way down here. Or

268
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: you can wait until after you retire. Then you'll get

269
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: a stipend kind of thing. Who cares. They can do

270
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: it if they want, but they got to agree on

271
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: a number, and it's the terms have to be agreeable

272
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: to the poyer. Yeah, that's the way it is. So um,

273
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta get your mind around as a

274
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: as a team and his and his poorer and what

275
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: he wants to do and wants to be a part

276
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: of and wants you know that whatever he's looking for. Um,

277
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: And if they can come up with a solution that's

278
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: a that's acceptable to everybody. Certainly you can throw money

279
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: at it, but you h you know, he's like you said,

280
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: he's he's on the back side of his career he had.

281
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: He's playing it very well, no question about it, absolutely,

282
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: But you don't want to give him a five year

283
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: contract knowing he's not going to see the end of

284
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: it because with his cutthroat and competitive as this league is,

285
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: it's not about losing a step in the back half

286
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: of your career. It's about losing a half a step.

287
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: You lose half a step and the quality of your

288
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: play is noticeably different. We saw that from a lot

289
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: of the older players with the Patriots last year. That

290
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: was a team that got old in a hurry down

291
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: to stretch. And as as much as I give credit

292
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: to the way the Bills played in the wild card

293
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: playoff game here against the Patriots last year first round

294
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, that Patriots team was dead in the water.

295
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: I still think the Bills would have won if they

296
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: played a fitter, faster Patriots team. But that team was

297
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: old and slow, and it was patently evident on the

298
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: field as far as I was concerned. I mean, players

299
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: on the Bills they're outrunning angles that they usually don't

300
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: outrun against the Patriots defense, they were just shot. Ye

301
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: shot was strange to see. And that's why it was

302
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: a clinic. The Bills were playing a high, high level.

303
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: They're playing chess, and the Patriots were struggling to keep up.

304
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: And yeah that and so my point is it doesn't

305
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: take much you lose just a little bit, and suddenly

306
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: your ability to compete and perform is affected in a

307
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: way that sometimes can take little pieces of your game away.

308
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: Like coming down and covering a slot guy. Yeah, maybe

309
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: you can't do that anymore because his change of direction

310
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: is just a shade off of what it used to be.

311
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: You know, maybe that catchup speed that he would have

312
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: when he gets beat on a route, maybe he's a

313
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: half step slower than it used to be. And then

314
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: now I can't close that ground again and still make

315
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: a play even when I get beat. That kind of stuff,

316
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: So it becomes noticeable as players get older, and you

317
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: can speak to this better than I can, because well,

318
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's it's obvious, and we've all seen

319
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: it with other players around the leaves. When you get older,

320
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: nobody wants to invest long term in you. It's just

321
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: that simple. And but when you got a guy at

322
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: poor year's age doing something he's never done before, right

323
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: like being an All Pro, first team All Pro at

324
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: safety position, you he's right, I mean, POI post got

325
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: he's got a point, and certainly he's he's signed a

326
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: he signed a five year deal in free agency when

327
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: McDermott first got here and he was like, wow, who

328
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: is this guy? Well, he played up to that contract.

329
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: They extended that contract a couple of years, you know,

330
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: then they gave him one more. Yeah, I think gave

331
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: him one more. And now he's he's an all pro.

332
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: It's like he has done more than his share. He

333
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: hadn't just played well, he's played better than everybody else.

334
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: So he's got a point to saying, all right, just

335
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: you know, he deserves a little financial kiss, even if

336
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: it's a kiss goodbye, you know. And when you get

337
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 1: to this thing, and I hate to say it, like

338
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: at this point, I hate to even bring this into

339
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: the conversation, but it's almost to the point where, listen,

340
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: we can't we can't structure the deal that you like,

341
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: where do you want to play? You know, if you

342
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: want to get that man, we gotta we have a

343
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: team that will pay. There's a couple of teams that

344
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: will pay. Yeah, we can't be one of that too.

345
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: And I don't figure both sides. I'm sure Peter didn't

346
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: want to go anywhere else. Yeah, are you kidding me?

347
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Could you imagine getting like getting traded like this month

348
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: to another team and Okay, he's gonna be yeah, and

349
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: leaving what's going on here. There's no way even holding

350
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: out and being not being a part of what's going

351
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: on in this building. With the season on the cusp

352
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: of beginning, you don't you don't want to miss out

353
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: on that. As a player, He's waited too long for this,

354
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: you know, So he doesn't want to miss out on

355
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: this either. So that's a tough situation. So how it

356
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: gets done and if it gets done, that's it's a

357
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: big question. And I don't and we don't know the answer. Certainly,

358
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: both sides are willing to work and willing to talk

359
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: and trying to but it's not an easy problem to fix.

360
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: We uh one last thing. Golden Tap former Detroit Lions,

361
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawk, New York Giant in philadel for the Eagle.

362
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: He is going to try his hand at baseball. He

363
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: signed on to play for the Port Angelis Lefties of

364
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: the West Coast League. It's a summer collegiate league and

365
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna make his debut tonight. He said, I'm extremely

366
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: thankful to the West Coast League for allowing me to

367
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: join the league. At As some might know, I was

368
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: drafted twice in baseball as a child. My first love

369
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: was baseball, so I'm excited about the opportunity to compete.

370
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: So it's gonna explore baseball more. It's not the first

371
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: former nfler to do it. Our own friend Donald Jones,

372
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: after his kidney issues forced him from the football field,

373
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: played a little minor league baseball um down in New

374
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: Jersey and did. Okay, So not the first guy Tim Tebow.

375
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: There's Sanderson Jackson. Yep, bo Jackson is probably the best team. Yes,

376
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: so there's there have been guys who have crossed that line,

377
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: across that sideline or yeah, baseline or whatever you want

378
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: to call it, um, foul line whatever outline. Yeah, interesting,

379
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: good luck to him. Yeah, so we'll see what comes

380
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: to that, as I'm sure people will keep an eye

381
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: on him. We wanted to get to our Twitter poll

382
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: today and this one deals with one von Miller. He

383
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: addressed the media yesterday and he made a comment that

384
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: we found very very interesting. We're gonna play that for

385
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: you here and then tell you what your question is

386
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: on the Twitter poll. I think it starts with the fans.

387
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: We got some of the best fans in the league

388
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: and got Super Bowl fans, and we want to go

389
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: out there and to play the best that we possibly can,

390
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, to make h you know, Bill's Mafia proud.

391
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: You We're hearing an indoor practice facility, and we got

392
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: all of these AFC championships out here and and not

393
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. Um, you know, it's it's a

394
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: it's an expectation from this franchise's expectation from this fan base.

395
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: And um, that's where I came here. I could have

396
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: just you know, staying in LA and just rolled off

397
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: into the sunset and just you know, rushed with Aaron

398
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: Donald and you know, pole of sex. But you know

399
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't content, you know, Um, I wasn't content where

400
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: where I was at. I still wanted more. And you know,

401
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: to come here selfishly and be the only guy to

402
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: ever win three Super Bowls with three different teams, you know,

403
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: that's selfishly. That's what I want. This this organization wants

404
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls to win, win for both you know, um,

405
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: for both sides, and UM, yeah, I just want to

406
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: be a part of something special. This is a special team,

407
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're right on the edge, and I

408
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: just wanted to be that that last drop to you know,

409
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: overflow these guys, man, because Bills, my peoples been waiting

410
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: for it. You know, Buffalo has been waiting for it,

411
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: and it'd be it'd be crazy if we can go

412
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: out there and get it done. So there's Vaughan saying

413
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: one of the main reasons he came here was to

414
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: be that last little bit to push him over the top.

415
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: So our question to you is what type of season

416
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: is needed from von Miller to put the Bills over

417
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: the top and make them super Bowl champs. Let us

418
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: know what that is at eight o three five fifty

419
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: one eight eight five fifty two five fifty number to

420
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: get on board. Open line for you there, or you

421
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: can hit us up on the tweet sheet at one

422
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: Bills Live. You wonder what what does that look like?

423
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Steve right, Because well, there's a lot in it that

424
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: you gotta take for granted or accept as fact. The

425
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: team's gonna be good enough to get close again without

426
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: him right, which, yeah, okay, maybe I can get there.

427
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: Their playoff team for sure, with Josh in this offense

428
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: running the way it wasn't and with most of the

429
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: same quality of guys up front as well, without Vaughan.

430
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: But you gotta put yourself into a scenario where how

431
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: many times and this is thinking what I'm kind of thinking, Brownie,

432
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: what's it gonna look like through throughout the season for

433
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: von Miller to be the guy that likes, say, in

434
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: a tough game in week six or week four, week seven,

435
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: week nine, whatever, that he makes a play here or there,

436
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: it gives you this chance to win all of a

437
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: sudden makes the difference at the end of the season

438
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: when you're playing at home and not on the road.

439
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: You got home field advantage a couple of times during

440
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: the year where he makes a play that gives you

441
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: the chance to win the game and you do that

442
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: puts you in a position at the end of the

443
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: year to go the distance. You know, the Chiefs come

444
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: to Buffalo for a change in the playoffs, or what

445
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: have you. Baltimore comes here again in the playoffs, Cincinnati

446
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: comes here for the playoffs. San Diego or La It

447
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: comes here for the playoffs. How many plays does von

448
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: Miller make in a season that our difference making in

449
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: that respect, or how many games does he play that

450
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: he is the difference in it? And then when you

451
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, of course, it's a team that

452
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: you know you need when you get to the if

453
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: you can get to the AFC Championship game, you need

454
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: the guy to make the play at the end with

455
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: when you got a thirteen second shot, it doesn't happen

456
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: against you. Yeah, And that's that's kind of where I

457
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: see it, because we've heard Leslie Fraser say the rotational

458
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: system will continue upfront now in the grand scheme of things,

459
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: when Leslie Frasier needs somebody to make a play, von

460
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: Miller is unquestionably going to be on the field. Whatever

461
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: the hell the rotation was that gets tossed out. When

462
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: he needs somebody to make a play, von Miller is

463
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: going to be on the field. I think that's a given.

464
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: But I think some people say, well, what kind of

465
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: what does von Miller have to do this season individually

466
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: to put this team over the top. And I think

467
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: people immediately gravitate to he's got to have twelve and

468
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: a half sacks or you know, he's gotta have fourteen sacks,

469
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, six fours fuon blah blah blah blah, and

470
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: they run down a stadline much like you describe there, Steve,

471
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: I think what it is is Von Miller needs to

472
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: be the money player at the most critical point to

473
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: the game, when the defense is on the field, and

474
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: if he is that more often than not, I don't

475
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: care if he has six sacks. If those six plays

476
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: are instrumental in helping them win like five of those

477
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: six games, that's what you need from him to put

478
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: you over the top. You need the critical play at

479
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: the critical time, which later in game sometimes was sorely lacking.

480
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: Fortunately it didn't rears its head too often because all

481
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: but one of Buffalo's victories last year whereas by more

482
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: than one score, so we didn't really see that creep

483
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: in all that much during the regular season, but we

484
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: know it all gets the whole thing gets tighter in

485
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: the postseason. Yeah, I saw that in Kansas City when

486
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: when they signed I'll give you an example of the

487
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: conversations I have out and about when they signed Vaughan. Obviously,

488
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: the Five Presidents Tech sloop that I'm on with Bruce

489
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: and Thurman and Jim and all those Hall of famers

490
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: and Darryl Talley and Biscuit, Chris Moore, Will Wolford, the

491
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: whole gang they were on. You know, they were talking

492
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: about it. And the thing that got mentioned by Bruce

493
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: and Cornelius and Biscuit, they were like, this is a guy.

494
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: There's a finisher when you get in these games. He's closer. Yeah,

495
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: he's a closer when when you get in a game,

496
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: when you get in the four fourth quarter and you

497
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: need the team to get off the field, he's the

498
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: guy that gets him off the field. He's the guy

499
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: that forces the incompletion or puts the guy on the

500
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: ground and they're putting it away, or they're trying to

501
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: on a fourth down, or forces them into a fourth

502
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: and fifteen instead of a fourth and two. Right. So

503
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: that's the kind of guy that you need. And that's

504
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: exactly what Bruce and Cornelius and those guys and Darryl

505
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: were dt were saying, you need a guy like that

506
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: that when it comes down to it, you got a

507
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith that comes in and the guy's bang, he's

508
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: on his back. You know. Famously, Bruce is the guy

509
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: that was the finisher against the Chiefs in the championship game.

510
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: In our fourth championship game, Joe Montana knocked him out.

511
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: Joe is getting carted off. So you need guys that

512
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: are finishers and that's what they thought about Vaughan as

513
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: a guy that you don't I don't care if he

514
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: plays the first three quarters at all, but in the

515
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and the second half of the fourth quarter,

516
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the ground, and that left over there going

517
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: looking around saying where's my help? You know, that's what

518
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: they thought about it. And I think that's where what

519
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: most people would say. You know, just give us. I

520
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: don't care if you come in and man, get nineteen

521
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: or twenty. I don't care if you get to set

522
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: the sack record. But if you get four sacks and

523
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: it's four wins at the end of the year, it's

524
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: more valuable than a twenty sax season. Give him. I'll

525
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: give you the money. Give him, take the money, take

526
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: the money. Give us those four seven to be the

527
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: money players. Yeah, let's go to the phones at eight

528
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: oh three, five fifty, we go to Chuck and Clarence

529
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: leading us off today. What do you got first, Chuck? Yeah,

530
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: I think John's gonna be He's just gonna be a

531
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: great influence in all different ways. He's gonna be on

532
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: the field, on the playing field, off the field, maybe

533
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: even more. You know, we've got some young guys with

534
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: we have high expectations to us for us Rousseau and Boogie,

535
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, the real time coaching that

536
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: he can do on the sidelines. They come off the field,

537
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: they're being they're not seeing something, they're being beaten a

538
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: certain way. They have Von standing there and say hey,

539
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: this is what they're doing to you. Um. I think

540
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: that's going to be really vital for him. And then

541
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: of course letting him play in December and January. I

542
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: think that's where he really thrives. So I think they're

543
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: really smart and grabbing him. I think he's just just

544
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: multiple useless for this guy. Well, yeah, it's you can

545
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: stay smart of them to grab him a lot of convince.

546
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was smart, It was obvious and

547
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: who knew that they even had a shot at it.

548
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: It's courageous to sign him, I mean, go out and

549
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: spend that kind of money out of the blue when

550
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: they at the time, I didn't think they had the money. Um,

551
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: he never saw this team do that. I mean because

552
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: they originally they were well yeah, Mario not even Mario

553
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: Williams doesn't even like that. Yeah, it was a six year,

554
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: ninety five million dollars deal, but it was on a

555
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: roster that didn't really have a whole lot ill right, Yeah,

556
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: see a lot of their a lot of teams that

557
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: had a would if they had a roster like Buffalo.

558
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: The owner's going and we're good. Now I ain't paying

559
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: that guy, and we're all, we're good. If you can't

560
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: get there with the guys you got, I'm gonna get

561
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: a new coach. He'll just go. Not so with the bills.

562
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: And yes, it was a good It was a great

563
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: thing for the team to have to sign von Miller,

564
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: but it was more like, oh my god, you you

565
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: actually got it done. Yeah. I mean every team wants

566
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: to sign him, every single team, including the team he left, right,

567
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: But to be able to do it, I mean you

568
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: got to. I mean, somebody should be polishing Brandon Bean's

569
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: shoes for that one that was him. It was that beaute.

570
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: All right. We gotta take a break here. When we

588
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: So you know, obviously having him back is is awesome.

589
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: You know, we are hit him up yesterday and I

590
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: was like, man, I'm I'm excited to be back on

591
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: the field. So, UM, it's good. Any amount of experience

592
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: you guys have, the success you've had in this league. Um,

593
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: I guess how much of an impact from your perspective

594
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: anyway in business is business? Right, But but like how

595
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: much of an impact is his absence during the voluntary

596
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: portion have on anything developmentally? As far as the defense,

597
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: obviously he's he's a big part of this defense. Um,

598
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: and uh, you know when when he's not here, Um,

599
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: it's different. Um, it's different with if it's making calls,

600
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: getting guys lined up, making plays, Um, being a leader. Uh,

601
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: you know it's different. It's as a guy, I feel

602
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: like you can't replace um. So you know, to have

603
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: him back is is Uh, you know a big part

604
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: of the posles that we have on defense, and UM,

605
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna move us in the right direction. How

606
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: special is it though? Playing alongside you guys came in together,

607
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, back in two thousand and seventeen, learning one another,

608
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: and you guys are still here playing at a high level. Yeah,

609
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: what it's like? You know, how special is it to

610
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: play alongside him? Oh? It's very special, very special. I

611
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,239
Speaker 1: think that, Um, I wouldn't be the player I am

612
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: today without him, And I think it's sad to say

613
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: that he wouldn't be the player. Um he is without me.

614
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: You know, we just every single day and I've told

615
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: you guys this before. Every single day, we push each other. UM,

616
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, night before big practice, you know, we're texting

617
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: each other, UM, giving each other energy, We're waking up early,

618
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: we're lifting together. UM, just setting the tone for the day. UM.

619
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: You know, and I think that we just we just

620
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: push each other. UM. You know, we kind of always

621
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: had that uh um, that underdog mentality, and so we

622
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: just continue to push each other and you know, let

623
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: each other know that. You know, we're we're in here

624
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: for one reason, that's to win the Super Bowl. And UM,

625
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep work until we get that. I know

626
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: that you both have been overlooked the line lit the

627
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: last five years. But is there anything that George does

628
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: on the field that doesn't get anyone's attention, that anybody

629
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: talks about that makes him so special? Uh, just a

630
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: just to over all around player. UM. If you think

631
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: about a safety, UM, you think about a box safety,

632
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: you think about a free safety. Um, he can do

633
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: it all. You know, he's uh one maybe one ninety

634
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: five on on game day and he's just in the

635
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: box just fighting people. UM. It's a it is a

636
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: dog fighting that you got tight ends. Obviously you guys

637
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: all know freaks in this league six four six, five,

638
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty sixty pounds, um, you know, and they

639
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: can they can run fast. So he you know, he's

640
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: in the box. He can he can cover, um, run

641
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, run, defense, run, stopping. Uh, you can just

642
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: do it all. On top of that, he's going to communicate.

643
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: He's gonna communicate his ass off, and he's gonna get

644
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: guys lined up and um yeah, anything, anything and everything

645
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: you want in the in the safety and in the player.

646
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: We think it's about this team that seems everyone understands

647
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: the business side and supports him, even though that might

648
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: be his absence at times to you know, to take

649
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: care of himself. And then it doesn't make any waves

650
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: negatively between the work. Now. I think everybody, all players, um,

651
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: understand the business of the I wouldn't say all players.

652
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: I think as as a young player, you kind of

653
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: just come in here trying to make the team and

654
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: you're clueless. You have no idea what the hell is

655
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: going on. Uh, just trying to learn the playbook. But

656
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: I think the order guys they understand, you know, what

657
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: goes into it's a business. Um. I think at the

658
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: end of the day, just like you guys are trying

659
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: to feed our families and and uh, you know, we

660
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: want to be compensated for for the work that we do,

661
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: and so um, you know, in a situation like that

662
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: comes along, you know, we have full faith that you know,

663
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: pose representative is going to handle it and uh and

664
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: obviously you know the people upstairs here are going to

665
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: handle it. So you know, it's none of our business.

666
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: So we just you know, continue go to work and

667
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: just you know, have his back because he's our teammate

668
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: and we know that when uh he starts back in

669
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: this building and the bullets start flying and you know

670
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: it's um uh you know, Sunday or Monday or whatever

671
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: day we play on, he's gonna be out there battling

672
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: with us. I mean, he's got Jordan back today, Range

673
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: and White. We still don't know, we won't have him training,

674
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: camp out or whatever. Coverage is going to be the

675
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: emphasis that you guys are placing on you guys to

676
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: step boft for the game in the year. Um, well,

677
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: I you know you just said, uh Turdavis. Well, I

678
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: think just first with him, I don't think anybody really

679
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: understands that that what he's been doing. Um in the dark,

680
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: you know that. The Yeah, boys, he's been working. You know,

681
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: I've been able to have been fortunateenough to see some

682
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: of the stuff he's been doing. He's he's working, he's

683
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: working his ass off, and UM, I know I will

684
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: put every single penny I have on Tredavis coming back

685
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: being a better player, just because I'm that confident in him.

686
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: And so I think that, you know, as a young

687
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: guy coming in and seeing him work like that, working

688
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: to get back, Um, you have no choice but to

689
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: go out here and compete and continue to work. Um.

690
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: So each and every year we talk about next man up. Um,

691
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, nothing's ever gonna change about that. You know,

692
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: if guys, guys get hurt, which is the nature of

693
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: the league, Um, other guys got to step in and

694
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: and like we just talked about, it's a business, you

695
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: got to perform. Good thoughts on kay yere, Now, how

696
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,399

702
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to to meet face to face before.

703
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: I didn't want to hit him up on social media.

704
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: That's not me. I'm not a social media guy. I

Speaker 1: transferm me, Um, maybe one day when I'm done playing,

759
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: I'll I'll look back and relive the moments that we had. Um,

760
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: you know throughout this whole process. But right now, you know,

761
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: we're all just focused on getting better. UM. You know

762
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: we had, you know, some personal success, we've had some

763
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: team success over the last couple of years. Um, but

764
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say that that you know,

765
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: not just us, but the community and everyone's dying for that,

766
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: for that ultimate goal, and so, um, you know, that's

767
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: why you bring in guys like Vaughan, you know, guys

768
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: that have won Super Bowls and stuff like that to

769
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: kind of, um, you know, have that experience and let

770
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: guys know how it is and what needs to be

771
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: done to get there. So yeah, maybe one day I'll

772
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: look back, but you know, right now, we're all focused

773
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: on just trying to get better and take it to

774
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: the next level. All right. So that's Micah Hyde addressing

775
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 1: the media here mandatory minicamp. The takeaways for me, Mike

776
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: is very excited about the defensive line. I think he

777
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: knows they're going to be able to create more havoc upfront,

778
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: make life more difficult for opposing quarterbacks more often than

779
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: we have seen in recent years. Because if you think

780
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: about it, Steve the secondary has been the foundation of

781
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: this defense from the jump when McDermott got here and

782
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: Payer and Hide were the foundational pieces. White gets added

783
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: and then Levi Wallace and those guys kind and Tarn Johnson,

784
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: and that's the identity of this defense to a great degree.

785
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: And then now might be the first time where you

786
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: could honestly say the defensive front, with the talent they

787
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 1: have on the roster right now, might finally be approaching

788
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: the same level of production and play that the back

789
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: end has the last few years. I think it's and

790
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: it's interesting too, And this is you know, it's the

791
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: guys talking, so they're gonna pump the tires on all

792
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: their teammates and all that, and it sounds like it's

793
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: more than just signing Vaughan that makes him think that

794
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: there are other guys up there that are gonna step

795
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: it up. There are different players than they were a

796
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: year ago, and the new players in the fold are

797
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: also gonna be more effective than they've been in the past.

798
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: That's interesting to me because it's not all about just

799
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: signing one shiny new object in von Miller and thinking

800
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna come out and get a twenty five sacks.

801
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: It seems to be and this is not just Miga

802
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: a bit of stuff we've been hearing around the building,

803
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: and that it seemed like the whole group's going to

804
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 1: be better. Certainly Rousseau Boogie bash him, I mean Boogie

805
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: changed his number, his body. Yeah, it looks like a

806
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: different guy, completely different guy. So things like that have

807
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: happened along with you know, Jordan Phillips being back in

808
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: the fold, Tim Settle being in there and all these guys.

809
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: It seems like there's a refurbishment up front that goes

810
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: far beyond just signing von Miller, right, I would say

811
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: the biggest difference for me next to von Miller, who's

812
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: clearly the lynchpin difference of that defensive front because you

813
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: have a proven quarterback takedown artist. But beyond that, it's

814
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: the big players in the middle on the defensive interior.

815
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: The size may be the same from what they used

816
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: to have here in the Fold, but there are more

817
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: athletic gifts on the defensive interior. It used to be

818
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver and a bunch of plugger guys. Now you

819
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,479
Speaker 1: got Ed Oliver, a huge penetrator in Jordan Phillips who's

820
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: three forty five and can move, and then Tim Settle

821
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: and to Quan Jones. Those guys are a couple of

822
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: oxes in there, but they're not slugs. They can move,

823
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: and that is the biggest difference here, because you're gonna

824
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: roll these guys through, and these defensive tackles have much

825
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: greater athletic ability collectively than the previous group. And that's

826
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: where I think we're going to see the difference, and

827
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: that as you can. It's math. You got five offensive

828
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: lineman plus a tight end or running back, we're both,

829
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: so a maximum like seven guys are going to be

830
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: in there protecting. That's if unusual, but yes, it could happen.

831
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: There's not. And if you got four guys rushing and

832
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: you got two defensive tackles rushing, and you got two

833
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: guys on each of those guys, which is what you're

834
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: kind of talking about, that soaks up the amount of

835
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: available pass protection guys that you can and you guys

836
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: like Tim Settled, Jordan Phillips, they start splitting double teams

837
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: up inside, and it just leaves guys like von Miller

838
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: and Greg Rousseau and Boogie Basham and a j Epeness

839
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: and all those guys singled up. And that's that's what

840
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: it looks That's what it looks like when good teams

841
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: play up front. So there's a lot of reason for optimism,

842
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: and certainly we're gonna find out if if the optimism

843
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: is warranted pretty early on in the season. We have

844
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: to step aside here, but when we return, as we know,

845
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 1: the Bills had the number one defense in football last season.

846
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: They were also a number one defense in nineteen ninety nine.

847
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: Who showed up at practice today from that nineteen ninety

848
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: nine squad. We'll tell you next here on One Bill's Live,

849
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: presented by Klota Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

850
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: welcome back One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker. As

851
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: we mentioned at the break, the Bills just came off

852
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: a season in which they had the number one defense

853
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 1: in football. The last time that happened was nineteen ninety nine,

854
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: and the orchestrator of that defense was a practice today

855
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: at mandatory minicamp. Ted Coultrell, the defensive coordinator, caught up

856
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: with the other defensive coordinator, Leslie Frasier. So the last

857
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: two guys leading the number one defense in Bill's history

858
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: kind of met up. I took a quick photo because man,

859
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: that's history right there. Yeah, two number one defense coaches.

860
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: Look at that. A couple of really good guys. Too.

861
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: Ted was on the staff with me while I was

862
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: playing back in the eighties, and he was a former

863
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: NFL player as well, just like Leslie was. And yeah,

864
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 1: he was Bruce's d line coach before he was DC,

865
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: right right, he was Bruce's go to. Um Ted was

866
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: you know that coach on the staff that would pull

867
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: Bruce's aside and you know had the ability to to,

868
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 1: you know, counsel him. Yeah, you know, seriously, both both

869
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 1: off and on on and off the field, and uh

870
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: there they remained close and uh, Teddy was able to

871
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: make it to practice today and Leslie actually reached out

872
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: to Leslie and Leslie said, yeah, come on in, it'd

873
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: be good. So it was fun. I got a chance

874
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: to talk to Teddy and and and touch base with

875
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: him again. Yeah a much. Yeah, I remember I was

876
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: that was a great defense. I mean I was covering

877
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: the team then for WGR at that time, and that

878
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 1: was a good group in ninety nine. I mean, Bruce

879
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: was still here. Um, ted Washington was crushing people you

880
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 1: could not run on. That defense was and Phil Hanson

881
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: was on the other side, Ted was, Yeah, Phil Hanson

882
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: over there well, but Ted Teddy, Um, Teddy Washington was.

883
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: You know, he would be a Hall of Fame caliber

884
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: if if all they did was stop the run, John Hoise,

885
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: Sam Cowart, Sam Rodgers, Um, Sam Rodgers. Yeah, I mean

886
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: there were some guys. Henry was, Henry Jones was still

887
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: at safety. I mean you had some you had, and

888
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: Kurt Schultz was back there with him. Thank was a

889
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: great player. Um that was a defense man. Thomas Smith

890
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: at one corner. I think Kenny Irvan was the other

891
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: corner or no, Antoine Winfield. Yeah, I think Thomas is

892
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: already in Chicago. I think Thomas Smith had already gone

893
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: to Chapel. I mean, one of the best I've ever

894
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: seen in my life. Yeah, really, really, really really good

895
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 1: team was solid. Ted was a really good coordinator, really experience,

896
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: and he knew how to deploy his guys, that's for sure.

897
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 1: So it was nice to see Ted Catrell to day

898
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: out of practice. Yeah. I just thought that was just

899
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: a really cool history encapsulation of Bill's defenses for you know,

900
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 1: number one in this generation, number one in that generation.

901
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta take a picture you two guys,

902
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: and they weren't. They were quick to put up that

903
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: number one just to remind everybody. Yeah, I coached the

904
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: number one defense. Yeah, I coached the number one defense.

905
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: It's not it really is a feather in a cap

906
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: for a coach, is it not? Like ordinator especial to

907
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: think about this. It's not easy, certainly. It takes a

908
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: lot of great players, no question. Yes, But man, you

909
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: gotta coach. You gotta put it all together. You gotta

910
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: put it all together. And that's that falls on the

911
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: shoulders of guys like like these two and this is

912
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser and Ted Catrell. Those guys know what they're doing,

913
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: and it's not just about calling a defense. It's about

914
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: giving your guys a chance to do what they do

915
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: best against an offense that used sometimes is unpredictable. Yeah,

916
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 1: really really good. It's really hard to do. And kudos

917
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: to those guys for being the guys that can get

918
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:43,959
Speaker 1: it done here in Buffalo. Yeah, so good to see

919
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 1: Ted catrelle out here at practice today. And you better

920
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: believe like even though that guy's coaching days had been

921
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: over for probably like ten fifteen years, he Leslie. Leslie's

922
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: probably pumping him for a little well he has done.

923
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: He did most of it in a three four, right,

924
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: Teddy has coached recently. He didn't did in the USFL.

925
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, he does some of that stuff down in

926
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: Birmingham with those guys on the AF. He's so, he's been.

927
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: They keep tapping into those old guys for wisdom and

928
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: their ability to do it on the fly. So and

929
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: Teddy also, Teddy Cantrell worked in the league office for

930
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: a number of years. That's right, I forgot that. So

931
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: he is well respected and a little bit renowned in

932
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: the NFL circles still to this day. We have to

933
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we come back, more

934
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: from you on the tweet sheet and on the open

935
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: phone lines. At eight fifty. What type of season is

936
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: needed from von Miller to put the Bills over the top.

937
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: You tell us what that looks like. Next here on

938
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: one Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo

939
00:49:42,960 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. At a Steve Tesker who has spent all

940
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of

941
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: a dual role player for Steve. Steve a blimp. We're

942
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: not even in the strated beer of normalcy, all right.

943
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: You heard him say it when he addressed the media yesterday,

944
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 1: Von Miller essentially saying I'm here to be that extra drop,

945
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: to be the overflow, basically get him over the top

946
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: and finally get them a super Bowl title here in Buffalo.

947
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: So with that comment from von Miller, we are asking

948
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: you today what type of season is needed from him

949
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: to put the Bills over the top. Open lines for

950
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: you at eight O three five fifty one eight eight

951
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. But time for us now

952
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: to go to the tweet sheet brought to you by

953
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

954
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and Jeremy says, I think an eighty percent

955
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: Von Miller of years past has already given this the

956
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: line of great improvement. The inability to attack the quarterbacks

957
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: last year was a direct result of our losing in

958
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs. He should bring a much needed boost that's

959
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: similar to the our thoughts steve that money down von

960
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: Miller playoff performing von Miller is the von Miller they

961
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:25,280
Speaker 1: need the most. Yeah if and like I said earlier,

962
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: this is a team that expects to be there, that

963
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: with a chance to win it. At the end, you

964
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs and that's when you want the

965
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: guy to show up. You want him to show up

966
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 1: in the at the end of the game when you

967
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: need it shut out in the thirteen seconds and you

968
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: need him in the end of the to get to

969
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship, when you need a guy somebody where

970
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: the moment you know is not going to be too

971
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: big for him, where he's expecting to be in that moment.

972
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, it just gives you a little bit. Guys

973
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: like that just give you just that much more confidence

974
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: that your team's going to be performing the way it

975
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: needs to per form. Yeah. So, yeah, you need a

976
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: money player. And it's hard to pinpoint guys like that,

977
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: but certainly Von Miller would would fit most people's criteria. Yeah,

978
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: I would say that's safe to say. Jack on the

979
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: tweet sheet says, what kind of season A big one?

980
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: Might be wishful thinking to hope he could have the

981
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,919
Speaker 1: season Bryce Pop had in ninety five. Well, we don't

982
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: have another premier rusher opposite of Von like the Bills

983
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: had with Smith and Pop. Von's athleticism experience in Cache,

984
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: he should still get double digit sacks and make the

985
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: other rushers better. I agree with all of that, but

986
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,280
Speaker 1: to expect him to log seventeen and a half sacks

987
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: and Defensive Player of the Year honors like Bryce Pop

988
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 1: did in ninety five, doing part because he had Bruce

989
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: on the other side. I don't know if we're going

990
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: to go that fight. Be great. If we could, I'll

991
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: sign up for it. I just think the likelihood is

992
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: pretty remote. That's a hell of a seat. I think

993
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: the only way that happens is if somebody like Russou

994
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: or Bashar explodes. Yeah they have a huge year. Yeah, okay, fine,

995
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: But even so, it would be more about those guys

996
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: at taking advantage of what Vaughan brings to the team. Yeah,

997
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It would be more like

998
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 1: a j Epenessa or Rousseau or Boogie Basham or one

999
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: of the other guys. All of a sudden, those guys

1000
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 1: have a breakout seventeen sack year because von Miller's getting

1001
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: triple teamed kind of thing. Yeah, it could happen the

1002
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,479
Speaker 1: other way, but we'll see. Matt on the tweet sheet

1003
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: says his play on the field will take our d

1004
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: to the next level, but his off the field intangibles, professionalism,

1005
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: mentoring will be equally impactful. Let's go that's not the

1006
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: first listener that has said, they've been very impressed with

1007
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: his ability to mentor the other players. He said yesterday,

1008
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: he said, I'm not trying to change Greg Rousseau and

1009
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: what he does. I'm just polishing a diamond. So he's

1010
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: just given him a few extra tips and pointers. He's

1011
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: not telling him, Oh, don't do it this way, do

1012
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: it this way. I remember when Bruce. I remember I

1013
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: talked to are you very young Marcellus Wiley when he

1014
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: was here as a rookie or a second year player,

1015
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: and he said, look, I'm trying to learn as much

1016
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: as I can from Bruce. But I asked Bruce, like,

1017
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: how do you bend the corner? And he said, well,

1018
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, I just kind of do this and I

1019
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: dipped my shoulder and I run sideways at a forty

1020
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: five degree angle and I go get the quarterback. And

1021
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: Marcellis Wiley said, the first three times I tried to

1022
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: do it like Bruce did, I fell down all three times.

1023
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: I cannot physically do what Bruce can do right, And

1024
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: so he said, I had to find a different way

1025
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: of doing that. I think von Miller already comes in

1026
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: here aware of that, and he says to Greg, what

1027
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: you're doing is good. Let's find a way to make

1028
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: it a little bit better. Let's tweak it a little

1029
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 1: bit right, Let's you know, let's work on opponent. While

1030
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: he's big enough, guy, he's not he's not like a

1031
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith, and he's not like Greg Rousseau. And the

1032
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: things that work for von Miller probably wouldn't work for

1033
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: Greg Russo, Greg Russo sixty seven, you know, I mean,

1034
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: he's tall, he's got different gifts. Yeah, but you'll hear

1035
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: this all the time from young players coming out of

1036
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: college about what they noticed the most when they get

1037
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: to that level. Is this every position, whether it's corner, receiver, linebacker,

1038
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, offensive line, whatever, it's it's a technique. It's

1039
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: how you where you put your hands, how you place

1040
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,959
Speaker 1: your feet, which hand is on the ground, which foot

1041
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: is up, which foot is back? Where do you If

1042
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman does this, you do that? If he

1043
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: does that, you do this? Where do I make initial content? Right?

1044
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: All of that? So it's learning to do that and

1045
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: do it at a fast paced, second nature kind of thing.

1046
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: And you know, von Miller has been around guys of

1047
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: all those different skill sets, and he'll be able to

1048
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: say listen, here's what you do. Here's what you do

1049
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: if if he's going to come out and you watch

1050
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: that's why they watch film on offensive lineman. Does the

1051
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: guy come out and punch or does he come back

1052
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: and set and reach with one arm or whichever arm?

1053
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: Does he keep his shoulder square here? All of those

1054
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: things you dissect, then you have a plan for taking

1055
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: advantage of it, and then you have to do it,

1056
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 1: you know, full speed. That's where guys like von Miller

1057
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: him and say, well, here's what happens if you do this,

1058
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: here's what he's going to try to do. And then

1059
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: what you do is all you step through it, moment

1060
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: by moment, and they do it over and over and

1061
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: over again. And having a guy who's done it at

1062
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: a high level, you don't have to convince the guy

1063
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna work. You know, they start to embrace it

1064
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: and make it their own and they start to work

1065
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: on it. Eight oh three five fifty one eight eight

1066
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. If you want to get

1067
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 1: on and join us, tell us what type of season

1068
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: you think is needed from von Miller to put the

1069
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: bills over the top elsewhere on the tweed sheet, Nicole says,

1070
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: while I expect von stats to be exceptional, I think

1071
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: the experience he brings to the locker room and on

1072
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 1: the field is a difference maker go bills. I think

1073
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: he is a perfect blend for this as a culture

1074
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: fit here for sure, you know, because he's all about

1075
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: paying it forward. He's not about I'm the best and

1076
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: this is how I do it and everybody's just following me.

1077
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: He's willing and has already shown he's willing to pour

1078
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: into young guys to help make them better players. Because

1079
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: I think he's also smart enough to know if I

1080
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: make Rousseau a better player on that side of the formation,

1081
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: maybe I'm seeing fewer double teams over here and I

1082
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: can go eat. That's yeah, that's being a teammate. And

1083
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: it's also you want to win games. And if he's

1084
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: playing good, we're gonna win more games. I mean, that's

1085
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: you're always That's something that that gets lost a lot

1086
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: of times being a good teammate. It doesn't matter if

1087
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: you're a wide receiver. And if you see what a

1088
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: DB's doing and say, listen, when I do this, why

1089
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: did you you know here's what I'm doing? Um, there's

1090
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: a there's a great story that when Fred Blittnikoff, the

1091
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: old Oakland Raider receiver who's in the Hall of Fame,

1092
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: and he came in early in his camp. He comes

1093
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: out and makes a catch and the dB comes by,

1094
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,959
Speaker 1: says ariel Man. If this was live, you'd have been dead.

1095
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: It was Jack Tatum, and Blittnikoff took him and say, listen, bro,

1096
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: here's how this is going to work. And he taught

1097
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: Jack Tatum about being a defensive back because you know,

1098
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: and Fred Mclittnikoff was turning the guy in circles by

1099
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: the you know what I mean. He showed him how

1100
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: to what he was thinking. He showed the guy how

1101
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: to be a real pro. And he and Jack Tatum,

1102
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, Fred Bullet and the cough a lot of

1103
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: credit for that. So that's what it is. These guys

1104
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: know that if they can help there, and that's what

1105
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: it's why football is different than a lot of sports.

1106
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: You've got to help your teammates be as good as

1107
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: they can be. That's why these guys, you know, will

1108
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: take bullets for Josh. You know, they love that guy, yeah,

1109
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: because he wants them to be He wants to win.

1110
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: They all want to win, and a guy like von

1111
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: Miller understands that better than anybody. So he's coming in

1112
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: here saying, listen, guys, let's go pick it up. You

1113
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: need to do this and this and this and let's

1114
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,439
Speaker 1: try this and you know, and he's not the only one,

1115
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: but he is the only one that's got the credentials. Yeah,

1116
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: Nick on the tweet sheet says Von just needs maybe

1117
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: five to seven sacks, but constant pressure went on the field.

1118
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: His value will come when opposing offensive linemen have to

1119
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: account for him, freeing up the young rotation of defensive

1120
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: ends needing to step up in their second and third years.

1121
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: If his knowledge and skills can be shared, that should

1122
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: be priceless. It only goes so far, though, because it's

1123
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: one thing for Greg Russo and Boogie Basham and a

1124
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: j epens it to have the knowledge. The next step

1125
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: is applying it and turning it into production, and some

1126
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: players do that better than others. We hear all the

1127
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: time about physical learners, and you know, chalkboard learners. They

1128
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: can take what's on the board and apply it to

1129
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: the field, no questions asked. Then you have guys that

1130
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,919
Speaker 1: have to physically rep it on the field to get

1131
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: it right and turn it into production. And Von Miller

1132
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: is probably dealing with some guys, some young players who

1133
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: might learn differently, and hopefully these guys get what they're

1134
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: being taught to the point where they can apply it

1135
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: effectively to translate it into production for the defense. But

1136
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: that remains to be saying for you here and this

1137
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: another It's just the other side of the coin of

1138
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: the question we've asked about how good a year does

1139
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,479
Speaker 1: Van have to have to put them over the top.

1140
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: How much of this is about finger quotes the others.

1141
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: How good did they have to do to Yeah, if

1142
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: they are as good as they were last year, just

1143
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: is that good enough? No? I think they have to

1144
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: take another step, right, I think I kind of agree

1145
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: with that. I mean, Rousseau flashed through the first half

1146
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: of the seasonal hit him play enough to really get

1147
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: an assessment for what he was. But he's primed himself

1148
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: to be more impactful this year, just on the body

1149
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: composition changes that you referenced earlier in the show. And

1150
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: AJ's got to get it this year. It's year three.

1151
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: This is a big year for him. We've seen what's

1152
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 1: happened to other players in this system in their third season,

1153
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox Devin Singletary being the latest two examples ed

1154
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: Oliver Okay, three guys that in their third year did

1155
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: some damage and made an impact and contributed in a

1156
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: big way last year. Ajp and Essay is again to

1157
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: get the playing time to be that impactful. I don't

1158
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: know the answer to that, but he's got to make

1159
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: He's gotta make some hay. Like Week two against the

1160
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins last year, he knocks two out of the game.

1161
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Huge play, changed the course of the football game. He

1162
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: disappeared after that. You can't find another player where like, Wow,

1163
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: he had an impact on the game. And that's what

1164
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser said, and Sean McDermott said it again yesterday

1165
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: when he addressed the media. We need consistency from those

1166
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: young guys. It's great that they flash, they show that

1167
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: they can do it. Now, let's do it every week,

1168
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: not every four or five weeks. And it's been part

1169
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: of the culture here in Buffalo. The guy has become

1170
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: the best version of themselves and the team is about

1171
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: helping them both on and off the field. And it's

1172
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: also been one and you and I have discussed this

1173
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: at times on the show, mostly during seasons when we

1174
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: find out and it's like, wow, he can't get on

1175
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: the field. What is his deal? When Isaiah McKenzie gets benched.

1176
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott is not afraid to set guys down, more

1177
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: so than most coaches I've been around. It doesn't matter

1178
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: if your first round pick, if you're not, if you're

1179
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: if you're not answering the questions right, you're gonna get

1180
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: sat down. And that really impacts a guy's desire, not

1181
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: just to get out and not like he's in the doghouse,

1182
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: but to get on the field and do what it takes,

1183
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,479
Speaker 1: which means you got you gotta practice well, you gotta

1184
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 1: prepare well, you gotta lift well. You gotta go to

1185
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: meetings well, you gotta ask the right questions, you gotta

1186
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: give the right answers. Guys got to pick it up

1187
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: in every aspect of their game. And I think that

1188
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: goes a long way for these guys, because once you

1189
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: earn it, you gotta keep earning it. And if you

1190
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: earn it, you get it. You don't have to you

1191
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: don't make you wait two years to get on the field.

1192
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: If you earn it, you're in Yeah, that's big. It's

1193
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: really big, And I think McDermott has shown a knack

1194
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: and we've seen it in this culture here that's been

1195
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: talked so much about. That's a big plus for players

1196
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: who are trying to get on the field and also

1197
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: a big plus for the team because the guys who

1198
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: are on the field are really hitting it at their best.

1199
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: They know they got to bring it all the time.

1200
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: They can't take a week off. And that's much more

1201
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: so than we've had here in the past in decades past,

1202
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: got a team that plays at a high level pretty consistently. Yeah,

1203
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean, and I think that if those guys are better,

1204
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: they inherently make Von more valuable because now teams will

1205
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: not be able to focus all their attention on Vaughan,

1206
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: and Vaughan and a one on one matchup is a

1207
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: more valuable player to the Buffalo Bills defense than he

1208
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,439
Speaker 1: is as a guy that's double teamed ninety of the game.

1209
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, they've got to come through. And again I'll

1210
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: say this, I really think the guys on the defensive

1211
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: interior are going to surprise some people this year. Daquan

1212
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: Jones is an under the radar signing, so as Tim Settle.

1213
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: People know who Jordan Phillips is and the type of

1214
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: impact he can have on a game. Just at his

1215
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: size and athletic ability, those guys are going to make

1216
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: a difference in there. They are athletic big men, they

1217
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: can move people, and they can they can shoot through

1218
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: gaps increases, So I think that's going to be I

1219
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: think that's going to be a very underrated part of

1220
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: this defense. So I'm encouraged by what I think they'll

1221
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: be able to do to help Vaughan on the outside

1222
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: as well. As we know, mandatory Minicamp practice going on

1223
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: this week. Practice number two has wrapped up and we

1224
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: want to go to the podium now. As Isaiah McKenzie,

1225
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: who just performed on America's Got a Talent last night

1226
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: with the NFL players choir, is on the mic, let's

1227
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: check in with Isaiah. Is that experience like it was

1228
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: pretty fun? Saying it was, I opened it. I mean,

1229
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm never I haven't never been to California, and when

1230
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: in California, got to see California a little bit, and

1231
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: then to do that the American's Got Talent was pretty

1232
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I've never been on TV with my home

1233
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: with my helmet off. So that's the first time, so

1234
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: I think what everyone here off sight? I was pretty fun.

1235
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: You know, they got it. They got on me a

1236
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: little bit, like I said, like I said this the

1237
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: other day. I was like, they're gonna get on me

1238
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: because it took two hours and a lot of people

1239
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: was mad, people texting my phone like yo, are you

1240
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: even on the tv? Like um? But now it was cool.

1241
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: They stayed, Josh and all the guys, they stayed the

1242
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: whole time and then they saw it. We watched it

1243
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:37,439
Speaker 1: and they cheered me on. But it was pretty cool

1244
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: if everybody was tex oh, everybody you know cheering, you know,

1245
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: cheering and all that stuff basically, but you know, I

1246
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess it was down with me in

1247
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: the beginning. It's like I don't even see you because

1248
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: because it was like coming up, and then it was so,

1249
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, the auditions that's coming up, and I wasn't

1250
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: on those coming up, so it was like, are you

1251
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: in this thing? You might not be on the day,

1252
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool. Passed your Yeah, yeah it was.

1253
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: It was from the film to April yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1254
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: What gave me the pair of shoot food. I have

1255
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: no idea. I guess the shower in the car. So

1256
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: when I played it, played music in the shower in

1257
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: the car, feel like I can sing and saying but

1258
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: the group, I mean, I got a little help. So

1259
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: that's that was the biggest part that I'm saying, singing

1260
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: as one. It was cool. How did that group all

1261
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: come together? How did that group all come together? You're

1262
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: actually the wrong guy. Uh, the group came together I

1263
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: think two thousand. I'm twenty seven, so I want to

1264
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: say two thousand and three, so they've been together for

1265
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: a while, and I just gat it at it all.

1266
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: You don't saying the newcomer. I was a newcomer. I

1267
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: just got on on this year. So there's a lot

1268
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: of history I need to learn about this group that

1269
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't know right now. But the next time you

1270
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: ask me that, I have a lot of answers to

1271
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: get the trials for that. No, no, because I like

1272
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 1: I blended in well you know what I'm saying. When

1273
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: it so it's just like, okay, you can see this

1274
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: part baritone blah blah blah whatever, and they got me

1275
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: in there and then it was like say it was

1276
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 1: it was easy for me because I adapt so easy.

1277
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: You know. What's what's interesting is that you know you've

1278
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,919
Speaker 1: got guys whom cant carey because you really get same. Yeah,

1279
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: And it seems like every year people are looking at

1280
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: your position and saying, well, Isaiah's gonna add They're telling

1281
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: you as because whether you're gonna make the team because

Speaker 1: unconvertence shining. What is it about you? When? And how

1285
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: did you go coach this this year? Um? I just

1286
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: never stopped going, you know, you know, I never I

1287
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: never listened. I mean, I look at the noise, but

1288
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't listen to it, you know. But I just

1289
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: I just keep going and I just go by my day,

1290
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's on the field, off the field,

1291
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: I do what I do and I may let some

1292
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: people know along the way, and if they don't believe me,

1293
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 1: then oh well, or I show people along the way

1294
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: if they don't believe it, then oh well, I'm gonna

1295
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: keep going. And that's how I look at it. I

1296
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: don't I don't take no day for granted. I'm working

1297
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: and it shows every you know, each and every year.

1298
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: So obviously Cole has no dime. Now you're a deating ball,

1299
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:25,799
Speaker 1: you're in a ball prying role. What is this spring? Uh?

1300
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 1: It's been fun, you know, just talking to Josh, getting

1301
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: the ball from Josh and everything like that. We're communicating,

1302
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 1: communicating like him and Bees communicated. I want I want

1303
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: that chemistry they had, you know, the past few years

1304
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: they had. I want that. And you know it's gonna

1305
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to speed it up a little bit

1306
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 1: because it's the season right around the corner. But I

1307
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: want that chemistry they had even though they've they've been

1308
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: together for what what it was two three years and

1309
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: they built a great chemistry. And that's what I want

1310
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: with Josh. So that's what we're working on the spring

1311
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 1: and coming up when when camp comes. I want I

1312
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: want to keep communicating with them, keep learning from them,

1313
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: and just helped the team win the best way I can. Obviously,

1314
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: Easily was great at all the option we're out. Yeah,

1315
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: and you know that's the big part where you have

1316
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: to be out the same that you Josh. But we've

1317
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 1: been here. Yeah, I've been doing that. Ye've been watching

1318
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: be Easily and so is that much of an adjustment

1319
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: for you everywhere? Uh like not much. But I say,

1320
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: it's just the communication of it all. You know what

1321
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's certain words, certain signals that he gave

1322
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 1: Bees that I mean, I've watched, but now that I'm

1323
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 1: in it, I gotta do those. See what I'm saying.

1324
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: It's some tweaks here and there, but we could come

1325
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,679
Speaker 1: out with our own someday. But um, being behind Bees,

1326
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: he taught me a lot. And then just watching him,

1327
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, run routes, how he recovers this and everything.

1328
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: I learned a lot from that. And I actually learned

1329
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: a lot and brought it to the Spring, and you know,

1330
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,799
Speaker 1: Josh was very interesting, not interested, but like very intriguing

1331
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 1: on what I could do. You know when you know

1332
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 1: when Bees now that beast is gone and we've been

1333
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: on the same page for far, and I want to

1334
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: keep it that way. Where did you learn from up

1335
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: and down season a year with you that you're gonna

1336
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:03,560
Speaker 1: pauly fly here with the opportunity to contending years. Um,

1337
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: I've learned that it always going to be ups and downs,

1338
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, no matter what where the receiver return, Uh

1339
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 1: six man, it doesn't really matter I just gotta control

1340
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: what I control, and at the end of the day,

1341
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: when the opportunity comes, I gotta just seize it. And

1342
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been doing a good job of that,

1343
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, each and every year, and I want to

1344
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 1: now have my rules, you know, getting bigger. I want

1345
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: to keep seizing those opportunities and help the tea him

1346
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: with all right, that's Isaiah McKenzie who said his role

1347
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: is getting a little bit bigger in the scope of

1348
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: this offense. So that's encouraging to see. And I think,

1349
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: as we have said Steve, it's because every time he

1350
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,560
Speaker 1: was given an opportunity to prove he would get he

1351
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 1: could get the job done on the offensive side of

1352
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: the ball, he did, and did it with flying colors. Really,

1353
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: when you think about it, yeah, he flashed more than

1354
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,640
Speaker 1: just flashed. He was consistent and had it was a

1355
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 1: great option. Um there. You can point to the games

1356
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: where they asked a lot of him and he came

1357
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: through with flying colors, like he said. So it doesn't

1358
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: surprise me, particularly with an I say, you know, new

1359
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. It may be one of the

1360
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: conversations he and Sean McDermott have has to say, listen,

1361
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: let me use this guy a little bit more. It really,

1362
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 1: and I've said this before, it makes it hard for

1363
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 1: a player. I struggled with it, and I know other

1364
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: guys have as well. When you're asked to play a

1365
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,879
Speaker 1: lot of special teams like Isaiah's kick returner, punt returner,

1366
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 1: that kind of thing you need. It needs a lot

1367
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 1: of focus, mental focus, and a lot of mental energy.

1368
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: When you start asking him to play a lot of

1369
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver, it's wise to curtail that stuff. So the

1370
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Bills are in a tough spot. They want him to

1371
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 1: be the number one punk kickoff returner. It's hard to

1372
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: let him be an option, a regular option on the offense. Now,

1373
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: if you know Mark Wes Stevenson turns into the number

1374
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: one guy, well, then Isaiah McKenzie's freed up to be

1375
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 1: bigger part of the offense. But those are choices you

1376
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: gotta make. Break time for us here when we come back.

1377
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: More player comments coming your way. With mandatory Mini Camp

1378

1385
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 1: year four after a pretty productive year three. It's defensive

1386
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:44,320
Speaker 1: tackle Ed Oliver. What have been your early impressions with

1387
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: von Miller and playing with him? Just how knowledgeable of

1388
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: the game he is, how twitch he is, Just his

1389
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: all around approach to the game, you know, the things

1390
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: he do to get it bot it right, and just

1391
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: how he practices. You practice hard every day playing next

1392
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 1: to him. I mean, obviously people are gone out take

1393
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: some attention to him. I'm gonna play on the other

1394
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 1: side from him, y'all go over there and block him.

1395
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm going the other side. Well y'all, yeah, right, But

1396
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,679
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's gonna be good, Uh,

1397
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: not only for me before the defense as a whole.

1398
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 1: You know, here a big time player, and they're gonna

1399
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 1: key in on him and probably try to take some

1400
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: attention off of me. And I think that's gonna help

1401
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: me out a lot too. What was your having to say?

1402
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:35,760
Speaker 1: You had to you know, an accident year last year

1403
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 1: for the number one defense? What was what do you

1404
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: do next? What's matter? How do you what is your

1405
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: next goal? Or how you kept your motivated to get

1406
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: better again next year? Just because we didn't win at all,

1407
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, it was something missing. It was something there

1408
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: that that I might could have done better. Something there

1409
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: As a defense, we could have done better. Even though

1410
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: you're the number one defense, if you're not playing for

1411
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: at all, it's it's more meat on the bone. And

1412
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 1: to win it all, you gotta be done it perfect everywhere.

1413
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 1: So you know, everybody has to be working together, you know.

1414
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 1: So it's just more left on the bone. We just

1415
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: gotta go get it and right. What is that like?

1416
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: And how much does that benefit of knowing that you

1417
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,600
Speaker 1: will work together before? You know, big big feel like

1418
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: a like a big brother, like feelin't gonna lett nobody

01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: to touch you. Feel like an overseer like feel it,

1420
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, feel with a tight a back up off

1421
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: for type type of guy, like when you just go

01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: out there on the field, feel it. Ja hey man,

1424
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: none of at all After the play, you know, he

1425
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: makes sure none of that's going on. So just like

1426

Speaker 1: yourself becoming more of a leader and hoping some of

1428
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 1: the new guys. There's been some decent turnover the guys,

1429
01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 1: especially on the interior like Saddle and Dead Kung. Yeah,

1430
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: they they've been helping me just as much as I've

1431
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 1: been helping them. And uh, even with the young d

1432
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: Tackles who got in the room, just kind of trying

1433
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 1: to help them along and helped them kind of compartmentalize

1434
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: what they need to know and and uh, trying to

1435

1457
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 1: working out? Like down? Did you have to meet up

1458
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:32,959
Speaker 1: with any other you train with any other NFL players

1459
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: or you know it's crazy. Oh, one day I was

1460
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: training for d Line. I ended up training with Jerry

1461
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,759
Speaker 1: and it was just like, you know, just seeing Jerry

1462
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: and he doing good. And you know, I didn't really

1463
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: get to train with any of the guys that are

1464
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: here right now, but that's one of the guys that

1465
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: I had run across and trained with, and it was

1466
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: good just to holiday Jerry for a little while and

1467
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 1: just pick his brain a little bit like riding for

1468
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 1: this year. Obviously, cat experience on Name City sassify me.

1469
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 1: How do you just feel going? Uh, just confident? Um,

1470
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 1: I'm looking to start start off why I finished last

1471
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: year and just kind of build on that and to

1472
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,759
Speaker 1: go out there and make plays to help the defense,

1473
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, and just come into my own Jerry, what

1474
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: is it like not having them who got Varn now

1475
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: just playing now? But Jerry Good he was always a

1476
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,719
Speaker 1: guy that was kind of like they kind of they

1477
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: really actually the kind of similar in a way of

1478
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: just like how they carry themselves and how they like

1479
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: approached the game and stuff like that. So it's kind

1480
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: of similar having an older vet. I kind of see,

1481
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: like now when you get talking about guys that there's

1482
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: in their thirties and been in the game for ten

1483
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 1: plus year, they kind of all then kind of figured

1484
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: it out because that's that's why they still there. So

1485
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: all of them kind of act the same and carry

1486
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: themselves the same, which is good for me to see

1487
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,639
Speaker 1: because Jerry wasn't in the league for no other reason

1488
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: than why Varn was in the league, and that's just

1489
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: taking care of the body, making plays and stuff like that.

1490
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: You only stay around because of how you treat your

1491
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: body in and how you attack the day and the

1492
01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: workday and stuff like that. So you want to see

1493
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: out of yourself going into this. Hu. Uh, just just

1494
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: to start the way I finish. Uh, you know, just

1495
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: start the way I finished dominating, whether that be tax

1496
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 1: for all sacks, things like that, Uh, being the factors

1497
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 1: even when I'm not making the play, help when other

1498
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: guys make the play. Cutting withever be cutting the ball

1499
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 1: off or Russian you know, and things like that. So

1500
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:22,640
Speaker 1: say like if I don't get the sack, but I

1501
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 1: fund of the quarterback to somebody else, you know, as

1502
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: long as we're getting off the field. So just just

1503
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: when I'm out there, you know, I'm out there. Whatever

1504
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: Coach Washington or emphasizing this year that would add to

1505
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: your go government. Just just getting the quarterback on the ground. Uh,

1506
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 1: just finish your rushes, hands and hip the things like that.

1507
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 1: Just the same thing every year. But every year you

1508
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: post to take a step. You know what I'm saying, Well,

1509
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: that's with your body or whatever. Just making sure that

1510
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: you're fresh and just ready to go play. All right.

1511
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: That is Ed Oliver, who is pretty happy to not

1512
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 1: only have Von Miller in the fold, but they have

1513
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips back. He pretty much called him a big

1514
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: brother bodyguard. And I'm just gonna tell you right now

1515
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: because watching games like we're off in privy when we're

1516
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 1: in the stadium to see what happens behind the play

1517
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: after the play is over. If you're watching home on TV,

1518
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 1: they're cutting to the sideline showing you the head coach

1519
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: this and the other. Sometimes those plays end and there's

1520
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: a little extra curricular they're in much of that. When

1521
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips is out there on the field, when he

1522
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: barks at somebody, they back up. Yeah, he's he's big,

1523
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: he's got some grit, and there's not too many tep

1524
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: people around even in the National Football League that Jordan

1525
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: Phillips is not as big as or bigger then so,

1526
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 1: and he's got that you know, high energy. In fact,

1527
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 1: you talk to him like in these settings that we

1528
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: we'll probably hear from him in training camp as we've

1529
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: heard I think from him when he signed. He's a

1530
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: different cat when he's sitting at the table talking to

1531
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: the media, or you meet him in the hallway or

1532
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 1: you have a conversation with him in private, just a

1533
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: different cat than when you see him on the field,

1534
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's he's an high energy,

1535
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: high vocal, gritty you know, tough chippy. He's just big. Yeah,

1536
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and he just and he brings it. Um. He's just

1537
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 1: that high energy, gritty guy that is just you know,

1538
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: you just don't see that anywhere else. And yeah, I'm

1539
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 1: sure Ed Oliver is just it's just one of those

1540
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 1: guys where you man, at least I don't have to

1541
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 1: put up with that today, you know, because Jordan's gonna

1542
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: be out there getting He'll be in the middle of

1543
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: this because Ed isn't a giant guy, right, And so

1544
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,719
Speaker 1: if a lineman's feeling himself a little bit, he's probably

1545
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: got Ed by like twenty thirty pounds, and he'll think like, oh,

1546
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: I can mess with this guy because what's he gonna

1547
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 1: do to me? Well, yeah, until big brother comes over,

1548
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 1: right and he says, hey, leave it alone. You're gonna

1549
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 1: have to deal with me. I mean, I ain't dealing

1550
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 1: with that guy. Yeah, it's becomes a group effort instead

1551
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: of a solo effort, and it's it's always more fun

1552
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, And you heard Ed say there, de

1553
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: Quan Jones, Tim Settle. I'm telling you, man, this defensive

1554
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: interior is gonna make a bigger difference than people realize.

1555
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna have some They're gonna have some big athletic

1556
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: men in there. Yeah, they're not gonna I don't stacking

1557
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,639
Speaker 1: up would like to think that they're gonna have an

1558
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 1: easier time or be more effective at setting the line

1559
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: of scrimmage defensively. And I don't know whether you know

1560
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: you think back to what they're doing and why they're

1561
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: doing it. You know, they just don't want to get

1562
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 1: caught in a game like they did in the first

1563
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: New England game this last year, where the team doesn't

1564
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: have to throw the football or at least can decide

1565
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 1: not to. And uh, I think, yeah, it's gonna be

1566
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: hard to do against this group. Yeah, because if there

1567
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:48,679
Speaker 1: was one thing that was a problem on occasion Jonathan

1568
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:55,600
Speaker 1: Taylor Colts game, Patriots first win, swept game. Yeah, they

1569
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 1: got answers in there now. Yeah, they go Jordan Phillips,

1570
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: Tim Settle and de Quan Jones. It'll force the offense

1571
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 1: to make a different choice. They can stop the run,

1572
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: my friend. Yeah, it'll be interesting. So there's a lot

1573
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: in that I don't know. I mean, look, don't get

1574
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: me wrong, I'm as excited about von Miller is the

1575
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 1: next guy. But I really like these guys on the

1576
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: defensive interior. I really do. I just think they're all

1577
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:24,680
Speaker 1: guys that can hold their ground, drive offensive lineman two

1578
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: yards off the line of scrimmage, and reset it in

1579
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: the offensive backfield. That's how good I think that group

1580
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: is on the inside. That's what surprises about Jordan Phillip

1581
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,680
Speaker 1: the first time around here. Yes, he showed up from

1582
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: Miami and had fallen out of favor or you know whatever,

1583
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: and showed up here in Buffalo and he was in

1584
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 1: the backfield. Yeah, and that was like, whoa, you can

1585
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:49,719
Speaker 1: do that? The crime Jones is a similar player. He's similar.

1586
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:53,719
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy is just sturdy, just a huge

1587
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: frame and some athletic ability to go with it. I mean,

1588
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 1: let's not forget. Yeah, Jeffrey Simmons is a stud in Tennessee.

1589
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: De Kwon Jones was his running mate on the inside

1590
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: there in Tennessee. So guy can play, man, guy can play. Yeah.

1591
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun preseason to watch them take

1592
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: shape and watch them build the team, you'd really love it.

1593
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean they've got there, They've got their work cut

1594
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 1: out for him. I mean you go up and what

1595
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:27,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna look like is this season takes shape. Well,

1596
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 1: we go back to the schedule. I mean, here we

1597
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: go twenty twenty two. The Bills start out in La Rams, Tennessee. Yeah,

1598
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: they Mimi it's and then Ravens, I means Tennessee's it

1599
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: goes Rams Tennessee first, Awe, Ravens, Steelers, Chiefs, Packers. If

1600
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: I think about it, if they come out of that

1601
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: and I'm I told you earlier that's those first seven

1602
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: games they come out four and three, I'm okay, okay, fine,

1603
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: as long as you know, I don't even care which

1604
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: guys they lose to. Really, you don't want to get

1605
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 1: into an AFC race where you got to catch up

1606
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 1: to all those teams. But you know they go down

1607
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: the last part of that thing. You got the you know,

1608
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 1: you got the Jets twice, the Vikings, Browns, Lions, Patriots twice. Yeah,

1609
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 1: the Bears. You know, so they're gonna be able to

1610
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: make some hay in the second half of the season.

1611
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: You would think, I mean, we know it's it's stupid

1612
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: to go down this road, but I'm gonna go down

1613
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,400
Speaker 1: in anyway because I'm stupid. You go down and win loss, win, lost.

1614
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: These things. If the Bills get off to a fast

1615
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:30,640
Speaker 1: start and this thing comes together quickly up front and

1616
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: I and it's no guarantees because there's a lot of

1617
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: new faces up there, Yeah, it stands to be a

1618
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: really special year, just like they're expected to put it together.

1619
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 1: That first seven weeks of the season is rough for

1620
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. It's rough. Good teams, well coached, with

1621
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: some expectations of their own. The only one you can

1622
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:58,599
Speaker 1: say maybe not is the Dolphins. But you got the Rams,

1623
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 1: the defending champions, the Titans, the number one seat in

1624
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 1: the conference a year ago. The Dolphins with a new

1625
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: and improved offense and a new philosophy with a new

1626
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,439
Speaker 1: head coach. Not sure it'll all be together in week right,

1627
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: but okay, And that's the weak one. Then you got

1628
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens, who are gonna come back with all kinds

1629
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:19,520
Speaker 1: of expectations with a former MVP at quarterback. The Pittsburgh Steelers.

1630
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,760
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers who you don't know what they're gonna be,

1631
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 1: but they've got reason to believe they're gonna be pretty good,

1632
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: as they always are. The Chiefs, who have put the

1633
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 1: Bills out of the playoffs in the last two years,

1634
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: and the Green Bay Packers, who are coming off two

1635
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:38,879
Speaker 1: consecutive thirteen win seasons. Yeah, that's a tough, tough stretch.

1636
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 1: You'd like to see the Bills come out of there

1637
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 1: on a fast start. There's no question they're gonna be

1638
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 1: expected to play well against all of those teams. But

1639
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 1: it's early and they got a lot of new faces upfront. Defensively,

1640
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 1: if that all comes together, yeah, that's that's gonna say

1641
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: a lot about how good this team really really is.

1642
01:25:57,920 --> 01:25:59,639
Speaker 1: They're not gonna go and defeated in the first eight

1643
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: weeks the season. There's no way. There's no way. That's

1644
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 1: too many really good teams. But after that Packers game,

1645
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: and I know we're paper shooting here, but the most

1646
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: challenging opponent after the Packers game would appear to be

1647
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,200
Speaker 1: the Bengals in Week seven. You can say what you

1648
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: want about the Cleveland Browns and we're maybe just Shann's

1649
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 1: playing quarter Yeah right, who's playing quarterback? The Patriots? Okay,

1650
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 1: but the Bears now it's the Bengals Week sixteen, Week seventeen,

1651
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Week seventeen, I'm yeah. This first seven weeks

1652
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: of the season is crucial. And how fast they come

1653
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 1: together up front with all these new faces, as talented

1654
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 1: as we may think they are. That's going to be

1655
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 1: real crucial. Break time for us here when we come back.

1656
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:54,679
Speaker 1: Some final thoughts on the tweet sheet, and just how

1657
01:26:54,800 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 1: bad has inflation gotten with grocery store prices? Almost my

1658
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:02,720
Speaker 1: eyes almost fell out of my head the last time

1659
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 1: I went to the grocery store, Steve, so I had

1660
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 1: to look it up. I am going to tell you

1661
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: how much inflation has increased grocery store prices. I'll give

1662
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 1: you an average percentage of the increase. We'll see if

1663
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 1: you can nail it. You nailed the one the other day.

1664
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: You nailed the number I asked before yesterday, fifty thousand

1665
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 1: dollars for Sauce Gardner's number one jersey, number one from

1666
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 1: his team. He nailed that. I made sixty five grand

1667
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: my first year in the league. He's dropping fifty k

1668
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: to wear number one. Oh, it's a different league. Break

1669
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 1: time here, Steve and I back with more in a

1670
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 1: second on one Bill's Live. Stay tuned all right back

1671
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live. Final thoughts from the tweet sheet,

1672
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: and Neil says for a von Miller's season to get

1673
01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: the Bills over the top, he says eight regular seven

1674
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:03,640
Speaker 1: season sacks, but more importantly, four sacks in the playoffs.

1675
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: Four sacks is an interesting number that he came up

1676
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: with because last year in the playoffs for the Los

1677
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams, who won the Super Bowl, von Miller had

1678
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: the following four sacks, six quarterback hits, one forced fumble,

1679
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:20,640
Speaker 1: one fumble recovery, one batted pass. That could do it.

1680
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: I'll accept that it's acceptable. If not something more, well,

1681
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: six sacks we all forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries

1682
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 1: and a touchdown? How about that? Sure? Okay? Inflation, Steve,

1683
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:38,200

Speaker 1: that grocery store prices which have been getting out of control.

01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:49,839
Speaker 1: a percentage increase grocery store prices just this spring alone,

1687
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: like in the last six months, last four months. Yeah,

1690
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:03,680
Speaker 1: The Great Yes, the Great Gazoo would be something I

1691
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: should be, something I don't know what they should. We're
