00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Callida Health.

2
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome into a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live.

3
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 3: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we are back

4
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: together in studio after some vacations and breaks away from

5
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 3: the workday grind.

6
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: I was Steve didn't believe it.

7
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 3: I told him, I said, I don't think we've done

8
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: a show in about three weeks together.

9
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: And He's like, nah, it hasn't been that long. I

10
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: was like, uh, pal, yes, so it's.

11
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: Been a minute couple three weeks. Yeah, Yeah, lots of

12
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: stuff going on. Sure, well you were away and I

13
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: was away, fun stuff and good.

14
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: We're in the midst of mini camp now as this

15
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: is day two, and you know, everybody but Christian Benford,

16
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: who had an excused absence here yesterday. We didn't have

17
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: enough time out there to tally everybody up today, but

18
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: we do know Khalil Shakir is not participating today, presumably

19
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: got dinged up in yesterday's practice, so he is out

20
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: there but is not participating. So we'll just kind of

21
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 3: keep our eyes and ears on things and use our

22
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: eyes that are out there now to report back to

23
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: us on any other developments that could be going on

24
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: here on day two of mandatory mini camp. It'll be

25
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: interesting to see Steve if coach McDermott scraps the final

26
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: day of mini camp. He's done that in years past.

27
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: You could make the argument that the roster is considerably younger,

28
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: there is a little bit more turnover than we've seen

29
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: in years past. Is that prompt him to keep the

30
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: third day intact? I don't know if it does, but

31
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: makes you wonder a little bit anywhere.

32
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

33
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: It depends on how it's going, I imagine.

34
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: And how much they get done.

35
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. And plus if it's going really well, I mean

36
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: you can you can cut it both ways no matter what.

37
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: If it's going horrible, you want to keep going so

38
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem less horrible. But if it's going fantastic,

39
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: more is better, you know what I'm saying. Let him

40
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: continue to grow or otherwise you can you can, but

41
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: if he decides not to, and that's great, But it's

42
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: only three days. And I think it's also a testament

43
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: to how effective they they are putting in what exactly

44
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: they want to get done, and they give themselves plenty

45
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: of time to do it. And if the players are

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: up forward and they're all engaged. You get it done quick.

47
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

48
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: And I found coach mcdermot's comment about what the coaches

49
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: need to accomplish here maybe even more interesting because he

50
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: basically said what he needs from his coordinators going into

51
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: the summer break is a defined menu of play calls

52
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: that they feel confident in based on the looks that

53
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: they've seen through the course of OTA's in mini camp

54
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: and again still not real football, but they like the

55
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: execution the outcome of those play calls to the point

56
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: where it's, hey, here's a defined menu of what we

57
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: like based on the strengths we feel we've uncovered in

58
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: our players. And then that's how they build their install

59
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: packages for training camp when it becomes rep the hell

60
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: out of it, so they know it like the back

61
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: of their hand, it's a play that's going to be

62
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: working that well for us.

63
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: I told you I was having. I had a quick,

64
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: very brief conversation with Joe Brady on practice one time.

65
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: He ran over and we're talking about some stuff and

66
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: he showed me a quick glance at his place sheet.

67
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: It was beyond me. It was it was It looked

68
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: to me like it was like three hundred plays. I

69
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: have no idea if it was three hundred or three,

70
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: but it was extensive. And I think also the fact

71
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: that they want to install all that and they've got

72
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: all that in and they want this to look good

73
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: as good as it can look going getting out of

74
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: this little mini camp. I just there's certain concepts you

75
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: got to get in. There's you got to start from

76
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: the foundation, and they're talking nuts and bolts like where

77
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: to line up in the huddle, the whole thing. And

78
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: it goes so fast that you get guys like, you know,

79
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: the running back hot hole in here today. I mean,

80
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: that's he's got to be in over his head after

81
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: just two days. You know, he comes in for one

82
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: day and all of a sudden, he's got to know stuff.

83
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: That's a tough spot because the train doesn't stop for anybody.

84
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: And once they start back in OTA's they get through

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: mini camp. That's a lot of stuff. It's a lot

86
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: of stuff.

87
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And there are three tryout players here do mainly

88
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: to injury at those positions linebacker, running back. So they've

89
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: got some tryout players here just due to a shortage

90
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: of players due to injury. A lot of the running

91
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: backs not participating. Ty Johnson, Ray Davis, Reggie Gilliam all

92
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: doing work on the side, trying to get healthy again

93
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: by the end of mini camp here. So yeah, it's

94
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: out of necessity so they can function at practice with

95
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: enough people at respective positions. We do have to go

96
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: around the NFL, which we'll do in just a second here.

97
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 2: I want to know.

98
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: Your thoughts on coach McDermott and his response, because he

99
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: was asked yesterday about the possible changes proposed for the

100
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: offseason program. There's a lot of talk that the advent

101
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: of an eighteenth regular season game would prompt the NFLPA

102
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: to push for a new offseason schedule, which would basically

103
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: eliminate the spring entirely, no offseason conditioning program to report for,

104
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: no OTAs, no mandatory mini camp, that the players just

105
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: come back after the July fourth holiday and start three

106
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 3: weeks earlier as a ramp up into training camp. That's

107
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: been proposed. So coach McDermott was asked about it yesterday.

108
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 3: I believe we have his comment handy here, So let's

109
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: play that now, just to remind everybody what coaches take

110
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: was on it. And then I want to get Steve's

111
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: response to it, here's coach.

112
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 5: Well, I like the current structure. Maybe I'm a creature

113
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: of habit twenty plus years around it, but I would

114
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 5: say I think you're always open to change if change

115
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 5: works for everyone. So I trust the people that are

116
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 5: going to make those decisions more than anything, and I

117
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 5: think it'd be hard from at least from where I stand,

118
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 5: and I haven't given it much time in all honesty,

119
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 5: my it's just it'd be hard to probably please everyone

120
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 5: if you're going to move things around those breaks, that time,

121
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: that rest is important for for the coaches, I can

122
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 5: tell you to get re energized heading into training camp

123
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 5: because you're going there's very suddenly a day off for

124
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 5: six plus.

125
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: Months, and there's very seldomly a day off for the

126
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: players as well, whose bodies are being put through the riggers.

127
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: I can't imagine.

128
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: Look, I understand you want your downtime, your vacation time,

129
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: your family time, and all of that, but don't you

130
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: want some kind of break before you go into training

131
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: camp and undertake what is going to be six seven months.

132
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this makes a lot of sense. Certainly

133
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be a different schedule, but the coaches

134
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: in my view, will still get their time off, it

135
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: will be at a little different time. In fact, instead of

136
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the summer, like right before the

137
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: kids go back to school, it's right when they get

138
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: out of school. That kind of thing. Because all these coaches,

139
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: these young guys, they've all got families and they're all

140
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: trying to raise their kids and their and their heroic

141
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: wives do it when they're putting in eighteen hour days

142
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: for six months. It is a it's a big consideration

143
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: for the coaching industry. It's always been a problem for

144
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: coaches to balance that workout, so it's always they're very

145
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: sensitive to how much time they're going to get off

146
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: and what it's going to look like. I think the

147
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: player's proposal makes a ton of sense. Just you do

148
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: the same work, but you do it all at want.

149
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: Let's start, and let's start from the beginning, and let's

150
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: move through it, and let's not take another three week

151
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: break here. Three weeks, I mean, I get it sounds like, wow,

152
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: three weeks for most of us, like five, right, but work,

153
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, we work every day. You and Iron here,

154
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: we're doing this show year round. It sounds like three

155
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: weeks sounds like, Wow, that's awesome, let's do it. Well.

156
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: Not when you've worked every day for six months straight

157
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: and then you're going to come in and you're going

158
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth. You're in for three days,

159
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: you're out for three days, you come back for a week,

160
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: you come you're out for a week where you come

161
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: in for four days, you go home for the weekend,

162
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: you come back for four days, you go home for

163
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: That's not time off.

164
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: Really.

165
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, push them out the door after their

166
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: final game of the season and say hello to them

167
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: in early July and get started. There's nothing wrong with that,

168
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: And the coaching staffs can then choose when they take

169
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: their time off do what they want.

170
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: I did find it interesting that some players around the

171
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: league were asked about it, and because the way it

172
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 3: was initially presented, it was like, oh, the players are

173
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: all for this, and they're talking to some players about

174
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: the idea of that calendar and they're like, I don't know,

175
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: I kind of like the way it is now.

176
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: Well, it's a routine.

177
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: It's like everything.

178
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: They're creatures of habit. Yeah, and I'll say this too,

179
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: veteran guys who you get into a rhythm like that

180
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: in the offseason, like hey, yeah, it's almost time. We

181
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: always leave and we're going to go back down and

182
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: it's always look forward to that, and that's fun. It

183
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: feels good after you've done it for a decade as

184
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: a pro. But it's not that way for young guys,

185
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: like Sean said, he's been doing for twenty years. While

186
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: there was a five years before that, twenty years where

187
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: it was different. Preseason was different. It was two weeks

188
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: to two days, four preseason games. That was my era

189
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: and it used and before my era it was six

190
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: preseason games and fourteen regular season get think about it.

191
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy. And you had one hundred and fifteen guys

192
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: in training camp. So it always evolves. And I think,

193
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: if you're gonna, if you're gonna have this, And we

194
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: had Ross Tucker on our show last week when you

195
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: when you were still away Brownie, he says, it's crazy.

196
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: This is a no brainer. If the if the players

197
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: Union just takes this off season schedule as a give

198
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: back for an eighteen game schedule, it's a sellout. I mean,

199
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: it's not enough. This is nothing. Nobody and I've said

200
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: the owners don't care. Nobody's making money now. They don't care. Yeah,

201
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't have to feed him for six Yeah, kick

202
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: him out and don't let him back in. Lock the doors.

203
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: And it's true, I get it. This is the easiest

204
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: sell for the players Union I've ever come across in

205
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: my entire career. There's nothing about this that the ownership

206
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: will go shrug their shoulders at best, you know, or whatever.

207
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: Why would they care.

208
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just shocked that they didn't choose instead

209
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: as a main give back to the players to argue

210
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: for bigger rosters.

211
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: That's all more jobs, that's right, And it will.

212
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: It surprised me, it will, it will.

213
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: This is they haven't even gotten to the table. This

214
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: is the tip of the iceberg. They're gonna they're gonna

215
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: ask for a They're gonna go from forty eight and

216
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: a half, try to go to fifty to fifty on

217
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: the revenue share instead of forty eight and a half.

218
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: They'll go to fifty to fifty.

219
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

220
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: They'll want the off season programs the way they want it.

221
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: They'll want added roster spots, bigger practice whatever, more bodies

222
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: in the building at any given time. Uh, that's all

223
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: part of it. That's I think that is the real

224
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of the friction between coming up between

225
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: owners and the players union. The players union is going

226
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: to say, we want more jobs and more free time,

227
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: and more importantly, we want that extra percentage and a

228
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: half of the gross revenues. And that's that's real money

229
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: on there on in the player's pockets and the and

230
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the rub the money.

231
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm curious that all this other that stuff kind

232
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: of develops as they go through the stages of it.

233
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: As we know, all of those kinds of negotiations have stages,

234
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: and deadlines are the things that ultimately make people move.

235
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: But let's go around the NFL.

236
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: Brought to you by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of

237
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills. Many prognosticators Steve have just assumed that

238
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals will be back to their division title

239
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: leading ways in twenty twenty four because Joe Burrow has

240
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: returned from risk surgery, but has he fully returned, and

241
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,239
Speaker 3: he had some interesting comments about his own football mortality

242
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 3: in the wake of yet another season ending injury. I

243
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,479
Speaker 3: don't know how many people realize the guy tore ligaments

244
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: in his throwing wrist. Like he talked about the rehab

245
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 3: process with the media in Cincinnati yesterday, he admitted it

246
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: took a mental toll on him.

247
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: Here's a direct quote from Joe.

248
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: Whenever the injuries start to stack up, your football mortality

249
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: kind of comes into the back of your mind. So

250
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: that's definitely something I've thought about and something I've.

251
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: Had to fight through. They have.

252
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 3: Put designated rest days into the spring calendar for him,

253
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 3: as they are clearly pacing him through the spring, and

254
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: you know, I get it. I understand why you don't

255
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: want to overtack stuff that's been surgically repaired, especially when

256
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: it's in your quarterback's right throwing wrist.

257
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: So there's that.

258
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: I just I don't know, Like, WHOA does he look

259
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: the same. We haven't seen any footage of him this spring.

260
00:13:59,280 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he does.

261
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: They're not even the least bit worried about it, but

262
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: I think he I'd be worried a little bit.

263
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Here's the thing, and we're talking people, we kind

264
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: of tend to forget about it because we kind of

265
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: project our own sort of motivation on these guys. Joe

266
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Burrows sitting there and just signed a Jaigamundo contract right minutes,

267
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: and a ton of it is guaranteed, so he's money

268
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: is not what he has to worry about for the

269
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: rest of his life. And he's sitting there getting up

270
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: in the morning, trudging through rehab, going in and gutting

271
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: out these long sessions, then going out and practicing and

272
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: grinding out games and getting beat on, and you look

273
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: in the mirror and you think you've got you see

274
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: this huge stack of money over here, and you see

275
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: the pain and suffering you know you're going to go through,

276
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: and you've already got the money. You start to think, wow, Okay,

277
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: that's really hard. It's really hard to play pro football,

278
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: right And so when he's to be that transparent for

279
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: him to come up and kind of fess up to

280
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: that it's true, I see it. A thousand percent is

281
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: being true. You really got to dig deep to go

282
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: out and be a literally be a human target for

283
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: violence and just say, you know, that's what I want

284
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: to do.

285
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: You know, it's tough.

286
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: Their offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said Burrow is not on

287
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: a specific pitch count for how much he's allowed to throw,

288
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: but they've built in rest days. I mean through the

289
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: course of OTA's in mini camps, so it's not nothing.

290
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: And I'm really interested to see if that continues going

291
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: into training camp, Like is he an everyday thrower or

292
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: is he throwing two days, sitting for one day, throwing

293
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: for two days, sitting for one day.

294
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm really kind of curious to.

295
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: See how that unfolds in Bengals training camp because.

296
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: They're in a they're in a dog of a division,

297
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: right right.

298
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, if you're the Cincinnati Bengals,

299
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: certainly you want to wrap Burrow in bubble wrap because

300
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: he's your ticket. I mean, let's face it, he's the guy. Yeah,

301
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: if he goes down. It was like every quarterback, if

302
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: Lamar goes down, if Josh goes down, if Mahomes goes down.

303
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: All these guys they're all like that. But he has

304
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: now got a track record of that, even even more

305
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: so than Tua. Right, So you got to you gotta

306
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: play that game, that balancing act of do you wrap

307
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: him in bubble wrap, practice him one or two days

308
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: a week and throw him out there to play and

309
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: trust his prowess and his experience in the offense all

310
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: that stuff, or do you let him you practice him

311
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: and try and get him as sharp and as good

312
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: as you can, knowing he's got you know, it's a

313
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: tough division. And do you risk him in practice or

314
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: wearing him out or getting re injured because he threw

315
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: five thousand times in practice, all of that stuff. It's

316
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: a huge balancing act and you got to make. And

317
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a policy decision rather than

318
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: the practical matters of how do you feel today? You know,

319
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: it's like, you know what, No, he's not doing it.

320
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: Set him down today. That's a that's a tough that's

321
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: a tough Oh.

322
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's easy.

323
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: That's a tough call.

324
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean he's the franchise, that's the thing.

325
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: And because of his history, and let's face it, though

326
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: it hasn't been the same thing. It's not like he's

327
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: got like Tua, like chronic concussions, or he's got a

328
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: bad knee like Joe Namath one of those guys you know,

329
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: or his shoulder's been worked on or whatever. But it's

330
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: his wrist, it's his knee, you know, and then it

331
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: is his calf in the season, so it's always something different.

332
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know, you wrapping him in bubble wrap

333
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: seems does it seem more likely or less likely? Because

334
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen to the.

335
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: Guy from one quarterback to another. Aaron Rodgers didn't just

336
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 3: skip day one of Jet's mandatory mini camp.

337
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: He's going to miss.

338
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: The whole thing, man oh man, because of an event

339
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: that's important to him. You know, the New York media

340
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: is digging hard. The shovels and spades are out as

341
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: they try to find out where the heck this guy

342
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: is that was so dang important. Here's the here's the

343
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: problem for me. And the New York Post was ripping

344
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 3: him in the paper today. I mean ripping him. He

345
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: said three months ago he was criticizing the leaks coming

346
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: out of the building about Zach Wilson. And he said

347
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four that stuff has to stop. We got

348
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: to stop talking about anything but football. It's got to

349
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 3: be all about football. In twenty twenty four, and this

350
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 3: guy is at some Kaka Mami event whatever it is,

351
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 3: and skipping mandatory Minichan whatever it is.

352
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: Think about it. It is he setting the Jets up

353
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: to betray him. Well, Aaron, Aaron was at a boondoggle

354
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: golf event in Tahoe with his college buddies. Right, Aaron

355
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: was doing hyahuasca in the mountains of Mexico. Again, Yeah,

356
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, or you know something you know, name it.

357
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: He was he's reconciled with his family that we've all

358
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: heard so much about that. You know, maybe that flies,

359
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: but he I mean purposely non transparent. That's that's the difference.

360
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: Usually it's like, hey, he's got a family event. At

361
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: least say it's a family event. At least say or

362
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: it's say it's excused, or is yes, it's excused or

363
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: Sali made.

364
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: A point of saying it's unexcused.

365
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I don't think that's going to play well

366
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 3: with Aaron because Salah kind of revealed that Rogers had

367
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: told him about this conflict several weeks ago and that

368
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: it was going to keep him from being at Mini camp.

369
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: And now he tells the media it was unexcused, said

370
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 3: it more than once.

371
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: Watch how that plays with Aaron when he gets wind

372
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 2: of it.

373
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 3: Where So, Yeah, whether it's the mountains of Mexico or

374
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: in the Himalayas.

375
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: Who shopping at Fifth Avenue, I don't know, who knows what?

376
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: What's the guy doing. Is he you know, is he

377
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: doing car commercials?

378
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 4: What's he doing?

379
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the guy doing?

380
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: It's not good, that's the thing.

381
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna come out.

382
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they'll find it, they'll uncover it.

383
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: There's no way to do it. Somebody out there knows

384
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: they can get a little cachet if they're the source.

385
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: So I'll say unnamed sources. And and now you're back.

386
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: To the leaks again. Maybe this is a test by Aaron,

387
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: that's what I think, to see if he can prevent

388
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: see if he if leaks are still a problem.

389
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: So he can go that's right. So nobody knows, and

390
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: he'll probably see he'll say it when he comes back.

391
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: I was a B and C or whatever. But he's

392
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: gonna let it go until some until it comes out,

393
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: and then he's gonna backtrack and find out who it

394
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: was and get him fired.

395
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 2: Right, good lord, So self absorbed, that's what that is.

396
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: That's that is, that is the tip of the pinnacle

397
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: of manipulation and arrogance.

398
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: A sound Reddick's not there. But it's a money issue,

399
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 3: which is usually the case when people hold out. It's

400
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 3: not for Hey, I've got an event that I deem

401
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: more important. So I'm gonna miss this and Mark.

402
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: That's important to me. Think about how that stated. Just

403
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: give that like two seconds of rational thought.

404
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 3: And Salah actually said yesterday, if it's important to him,

405
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: it's important to us. I was like, oh God, but

406
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 3: he's between a rock and a hard place. He's a

407
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: guy to win, and if he doesn't win, he's probably

408
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 3: out of a job. At the end of this year,

409
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 3: they don't get to the playoffs, he's fired.

410
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I think he is.

411
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: Think of that. Think of the reasoning behind not divulging

412
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: what is important to you deliberately.

413
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: I think it's because he probably can't justify it.

414
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: That's right.

415
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: Either it doesn't sound it would like it would be

416
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: important to most people.

417
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

418
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: Amari Cooper another player not in attendance at Brown's mini camp.

419
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 3: He's set to earn twenty three million in the final

420
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: year of his contract here in twenty twenty four, and

421
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: appears to be holding out for a long term deal

422
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: with the Browns. And look, he's been productive, I mean

423
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: seventy two for twelve fifty and five touchdowns last season

424
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: with a number of different quarterbacks and has gone over

425
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: eleven hundred yards in his two seasons with the Browns,

426
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 3: each of the first two.

427
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

428
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 3: It's it's a test because Stefan Diggs turn thirty got

429
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 3: traded and then the Texans tore up the contract and

430
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: made it a one year deal.

431
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

432
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: I mean, look, Cooper is a great player, but he's

433
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: also turn in thirty two, and.

434
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: I think it's an issue you're not getting another deal.

435
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 2: There are drop off levels.

436
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: You are forgetting another deal. And I'll tell you what too.

437
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: Which is probably why he's trying to get it now

438
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: really quick.

439
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: Here. The Browns probably rather not pay him anything.

440
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: He's making twenty three this year, you know, does.

441
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: He make that if he's not play? Is that guaranteed?

442
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: Or he's in the final year of his current contract, so.

443
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: If he doesn't play, they don't pay him the money

444
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: that's off the cap, right.

445
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 3: I don't think it'll get to that, but I think

446
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 3: he's making his feelings known.

447
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see.

448
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: And finally, Steve, it's Tom Brady day in New England.

449
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: His too on number twelve is being retired in a

450
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: summertime ceremony and uh, several of his teammates are going

451
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: to be in attendance. It's a celebration day.

452
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: Of what used to be Steve.

453
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 3: I mean, as far as Bills fans go, we probably

454
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 3: all want to vomit. But the program for Tom is

455
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 3: supposed to go two and a half hour. Is a

456
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 3: half hour shy of the roast that was oh so

457
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: popular just a little while ago.

458
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: But whooped dee do on that?

459
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: Why didn't they didn't they have a Tom Brady Day

460
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: during the season last they did? What was that about?

461
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: That was just a celebration of Tom. This is as

462
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: number two. This is a number retirement thing, I guess.

463
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 3: And he's going into the Patriots Hall of Fame?

464
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: Are they going to have a separate one for the

465
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and a separate number and just so

466
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: they can stretch it out and get more and more?

467
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: I mean, good grief.

468
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 2: I mean to me, it's unnecessary.

469
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 3: Apply they're doing it now in the summer because with

470
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 3: his new Fox analyst job, he's not going to be

471
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 3: available during the season.

472
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: By the way, kudos to our production guys. In the back,

473
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: they're showing Tampa Bay Tom Brady. H I love that.

474
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: That's I enjoy it, Thank you very much. Oh that's

475
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: come on, I don't care. Retired his number in in

476
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: the summertime after having Tom Brady day during the season

477
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: with him there.

478
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: And now he's going into the page.

479
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: Now he's going to the Hall of Fame and retiring

480
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: his jersey.

481
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 4: Why did you?

482
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 2: Why not?

483
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: What? What do you? What's he done add to his legacy?

484
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: Now now you're going to retire his jersey. Now you

485
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: had him in the stadium and that was full. Yeah,

486
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's dumb. Yeah, it just.

487
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: It seems a little misguided. But I'm not a professional

488
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: party planner, So what do I know. But that is

489
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 3: around the NFL Presented by Kalida Health. Topic of discussion

490
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 3: for you today concerns one Josh Allen. What is next

491
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 3: for Josh Allen in his seventh season in the NFL.

492
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: You let us know at aight.

493
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 3: Oh three five point fifty one eight eight eight five

494
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: fifty two, five point fifty those are the numbers to

495
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 3: get on board. I do expect some snarkiness here to

496
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: some degree, which will be like get past the divisional

497
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 3: round of the playoffs or something to that effect. But

498
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: really just give this some thought for a second. What's

499
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: next for Bill's quarterback Josh allen is seventh season in

500
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: the NFL.

501
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: Where does he have to take his game?

502
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: You let us know at AIGHTO three oh five point

503
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: fifty won eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

504
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 2: Those are the numbers to get on board.

505
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 3: Steve and I had talked about this a little bit already,

506
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 3: and for me, I think he's at a point in

507
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: his career where he's got empower and raise the level

508
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: of play of the players around him. Too often in

509
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 3: his first six seasons he's quite literally had to put

510
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 3: the cape on and be Superman, and I think there

511
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 3: has to be a slow paradigm shift here where he

512
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: acts as more of a facilitator instead of a play maker, so.

513
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: To speak, at least at least not as often. You

514
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: got to have, I think, more options offensively, you got

515
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: to get more plays playmakers defensively, which they did last year.

516
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: I just don't believe one man shows are as successful

517
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL as they are in other sports. And

518
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: certainly the one time we you could reach back in

519
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 1: the past and say here's a here's an example, it

520
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: was when Cam Newton got Carolina to the Super Bowl. Yeah,

521
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: it was the MVP was the MVP of the Year

522
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: of that of the league then and and uh but

523
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: he you know, he ran up against a really good

524
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: team in the in the super Bowl and couldn't get

525
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: it done. Ran up against a really good it was

526
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: a Denver team, right, So I think it's up to

527
00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: Josh to share the ball more willingly and readily and

528
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: hopefully with the with the receiving group they've got this year,

529
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: spread it around where a defense is really there is

530
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: no number one maybe, or they don't know who to

531
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: key on, or they don't know what, you know, whatever.

532
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: It just gives them a different feel when they defend

533
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: this team as to you don't know who is. If

534
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: they can give them more than one guy to think

535
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: about it in the other end of the passes that

536
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: Josh is thrown, maybe it does take some pressure off

537
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: of Josh. But I think I'm with you, Brownie. Josh's

538
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: has been Superman for his first seven years. I mean, absolutely,

539
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: put the cape on. This guy is jumping over buildings

540
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: in a single bound. He's got fifty plus touchdowns in

541
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: three straight seasons. I mean, nobody's nobody does that. You

542
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: got you gotta find a way to share his burden.

543
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: Spread his burden out and make him willing to do

544
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: it and let him see it and understand how it's

545
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: going to work and look and feel.

546
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: And that's not to say that you're not going to

547
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: turn to him in a critical moment and say, go

548
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: make it happen. You know, you're on the five yard

549
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: line and you're down three, you know, and you want

550
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 3: to put the ball in his hands and try to

551
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: have him just run the dang thing in and win

552
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: the football game. That's still gonna happen. But I think

553
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: you got to take some of the load off of him.

554
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 3: And with a versatile group of skill position players, I

555
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: think the offense under Joe Brady has a chance to

556
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: be a little bit more unpredictable, not as obvious in

557
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: terms of where they might be going with the ball.

558
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: And hopefully by virtue of that, you can lean on

559
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: the skill position players a little bit more and just

560
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: ask Josh to be a point guard instead of the

561
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: team's leading scorer.

562
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if he's a basketball and now, yeah, I

563
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: don't even have care if he's a team's leading scorer.

564
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: If there's like six guys in a close second, you

565
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean, they're gonna I really believe this

566
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: team's still gonna score a ton of points over the

567
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: past I don't know, was it three or four years,

568
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: and I saw the point differential up and the the

569
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: Bills are light years ahead of every other team, every

570
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: other team, Kansas City, Baltimore, all of them. The Bills

571
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: are way out in front in point differential. Maybe I

572
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: still think they're going to be there. I still think

573
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: they're going to be there because they're.

574
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 4: So tough to get out.

575
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: They always lose by just a hair and they win

576
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: a lot more than they lose. In once in a while,

577
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: they blow some jokers, jokers out of them stadium. They're

578
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: a tough team to beat, and they're still going to

579
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: be a tough team to beat, and they're still going

580
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: to be able to score points. So there's you know,

581
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: there's your your magic alixer. But in order for Josh

582
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: I think to take another step is what we're talking about.

583
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: There's got to be a moment when he shares the

584
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: ball where in the past he might have just hung

585
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: on to it.

586
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here.

587
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: But when we come back, we open up the phone

588
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 3: lines and take your phone calls. So we'll lead off

589
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: with Tim in north Tonawanda, Judy and Buffalo State right

590
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: where we are. We'll get to you when we return

591
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: here on One Bill's Live, presented by co Lot of Health.

Speaker 3: Bill's Live, Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you. Question on

595
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: the table for you today, what's next for the Bill's

596
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: quarterback Josh Allen in his seventh season in the NFL.

597
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 3: You let us know at eight O three oh five

598
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 3: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

599
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: the number two.

600
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: Get on board.

601
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: We lead off as we go to the phones with

602
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: Tim in north Tonawanda.

603
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 2: What do you offer us, Tim, Well.

604
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 7: I'd like to see josh evolution include part of running

605
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 7: no huddle at times.

606
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 8: He's got a pretty good handle on who's out there now,

607
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 8: and I think you can do it.

608
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there are times where and the more

609
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 3: popular approach nowadays, Tim is to go what they call

610
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 3: tempo on opponents where you know they're huddling up for

611
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: a couple of plays and then they get a favorable

612
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: personnel grouping by the defense.

613
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: They want to keep that grouping on the field.

614
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: They go tempo and get up on the ball quickly,

615
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: run a play, get right back up on the ball again,

616
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: run a play, and etc.

617
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: Et cetera, et cetera.

618
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: They've done that all the way back to Brian day ball,

619
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: and you know Josh is obviously in charge of that.

620
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: And they also run a fair amount of rpo game

621
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: where every play has a run option and a pass option,

622
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 3: and Josh has to get to the line and decide

623
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 3: what he's calling which one is a better fit for

624
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 3: the defense they're looking at. So I think there's a

625
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 3: fair amount of decision making already on Josh's plate.

626
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing to the reason the no huddle,

627
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: way back in the day of the reason the no

628
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: huddle always works when it's deployed is that you get

629
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: a matchup that the defense has no answer for. It's

630
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: hard to do now because a lot of the Bills,

631
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: in particular, a lot of defenses have a matchup rule.

632
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: When you put your guys out there, they see who's

633
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: out there, the match you up with the people they want.

634
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: And then even within that matchup, that personnel matchup, they've

635
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: got flexibility and the ability to make defensive calls quickly

636
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: at the line and get and match your play calls.

637
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: That's different than it has been, was than it was

638
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: back in the day. The electronic communication makes it possible.

639
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: And the fact that there's teams now most teams, almost

640
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: every team is comfortable with whatever grouping you've got on.

641
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: They can match it and they're gonna go with it.

642
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: And they'll they'll catch you as you come on the

643
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: field and they'll get you in your matchup and they'll say, Okay,

644
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with this. And then they have packages

645
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: in that matchup, personnel that will that will outflank you.

646
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: So go and no huddle. There was a moment in

647
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: time in the in the NFL when there was no

648
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: answer for the no huddle. Now it's like the Bears

649
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: defense of the nineteen eighty five Bear defense. For a while,

650
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: it was like, wow, wait a minute, what are they doing?

651
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: How we and then then they go, oh, hold on

652
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: a minute, here's where they're doing. Okay, now here's where

653
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: we get them. It just takes a minute for teams

654
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: to catch up. And those minutes have been thirty years

655
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,479
Speaker 1: in the making. It's easier to do these days.

656
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 3: And I'll give you a perfect example. So the Bills

657
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 3: offense is struggling. It's week eight or nine and the

658
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: Bills have Tampa here at home, and Ken Dorsey, who

659
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 3: was still the coordinator at the time, to get the

660
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 3: offense into a rhythm, just goes into like a two

661
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 3: minute drill style offense. It's practically no huddle and bang

662
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: they go down, they kick a field goal, Bang they

663
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 3: go down, they score a touchdown, and it was effective.

664
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 3: But by the time they got to the second half,

665
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 3: Tampa had adjusted and it wasn't working anymore right, and

666
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 3: they didn't have something else to turn to, and it

667
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 3: ends up becoming a tight ballgame that ends on a

668
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: failed hil Mary and the Bills barely win.

669
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: It's different now there's a lot of smart coaches on

670
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: every staff and they have the and the environment in

671
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: the NFL is vastly different than it was. So I'll

672
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: say this, Oh, I love seeing it. I'd love to

673
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: see hurry up. We see him do it at the

674
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: end of games, and some teams do it at the

675
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: end of games, but that's when it's relegated to because now,

676
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: just as I say, defenses are more sophisticated. They can

677
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: handle that tempo because they can get calls in offenses

678
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: are better suited now because of their film study and

679
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: tendencies and the preparation of the quarterbacks and the electronic communication.

680
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: You line up as an offense, you got a pretty

681
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: good handle, particularly with shifts in motion. You got a

682
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: pretty good handle on what you're looking at over there.

683
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: You know whether it's going to be zone or man,

684
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: what the and and some and protections too, and you

685
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: know where they're their pressure package is coming from. So

686
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: it pays bigger dividends to go out there, get static

687
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: and then run half a moment, bring him in, bring

688
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: him out. If somebody follows him, you know it's man.

689
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: He goes back out and you know. So you get information,

690
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: so you can you can change the play again, and

691
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: you're going to play that they can't match up against.

692
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: And that takes time. That's the exact opposite of no huddle.

693
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: And that's why you see all these quarterbacks go all

694
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: the way down to the last second before they snap it,

695
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: sometimes past the last second. As we come to debate,

696
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: let's head back to the phones.

697
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: We go to Judy and Buffalo next. What's up, Judy?

698
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 9: You know I'm I share your concern with the Bengals.

699
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 9: You know, I've been there with you for the last

700
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 9: two three years. Whatever it is, They've been a real

701
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 9: thor in their sides. Okay, but our media concern is

702
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 9: with the Jets and the Dolphins. Now I bring up

703
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 9: the Jets. They have a quarterback who last year played

704
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 9: four plays, may fifty million dollars. I believe he's going

705
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 9: to play this year. I get another fifty million dollars.

706
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 9: But now he's playing games, and I'm wondering, is he

707
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 9: going to hold out and pry to extend his contract.

708
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 9: I don't think he is an extended contract right now,

709
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 9: and kopa the case where he knows his future is

710
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 9: about to end without that situation. So, you know, I

711
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 9: just it's a fascinating situation that this is going on.

712
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.

713
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: He's a special breed to cat.

714
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't think, and I think deliberately. I don't think

715
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: it would be as fascinating if we knew why he

716
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: was gone. I think it would it'd be a little

717
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: bit of an eye roll for most people.

718
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: I'm guessing his contract runs through twenty twenty five.

719
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got another year on his contract. I don't this,

720
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't.

721
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: You're right, got void years after that.

722
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: You're right, Judy, I mean it does. If this was

723
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: somebody else in a different situation, you might think, oh,

724
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: he wants more money. If it was Kyler Murray or somebody, Yeah,

725
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: maybe it was he's going to.

726
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 4: Be more money.

727
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: Or even if it was c. J. Stroud. Uh, you know,

728
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: with another two years or three years on his on

729
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: his current deal, h he might he might think something

730
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: like that. But no, I think this is what it is.

731
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 1: I think this is a massive flex by Aaron Rodgers.

732
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: I think he knows he can get away with it.

733
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: There's nothing they can do about it. He's set this

734
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: up on his calendar and is unapologetic about it and

735
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: could not possibly care less what the Jets think. And

736
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: I think, in some way, shape or for him, he

737
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: likes the attention and he likes the fact that he

738
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: can do it. I'm with you, though, it's beyond perplexing,

739
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: and for a Jets fans, it's got to be in

740
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: You gotta at some level you gotta be enraged by

741
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: what seriously, because he does it on Mondays.

742
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: Isn't the fourth string running back?

743
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: Right? One day He's saying, Hey, all this stuff's gotta go,

744
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: we got this. This is all got to be about football.

745
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: He he takes off with three weeks note he told

746
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: him he was not going to be He couldn't like

747
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: move the event or whatever or whatever it is. He

748
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: couldn't flex on that. But he can flex on the

749
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 1: New York Jets. He couldn't flex on the event. Whatever

750
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 1: it is to him, it's not as it's important to him,

751
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: so it couldn't be moved. So it's like whatever, it's

752
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: a Stones concert or something whatever, right, so he can't

753
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: miss that, but he can miss the Jets thing. Who,

754
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: by the way, as Judy so astutely pointed outter paying

755
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: him a couple of dozen million dollars to be present.

756
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: He can flex on them. But whatever this other thing is,

757
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: he can't be moved. He knew three weeks ago. Can't.

758
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: It cannot happen any other moment, all right, whatever. I

759
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: think it's just a massive flex maybe it maybe he can't. Yeah,

760
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: maybe it's some astronomical thing that only happens on this

761
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, on this day with astronomy or yeah, going

762
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: to see the Aurora bar or whatever. Yeah, you know,

763
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: so yeah, you'll we may never know. I doubt that

764
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: we'll never know. I think it'll come out pretty quick

765
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: once he gets back at least.

766
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah whatever, let's get back to the phones and to

767
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 3: Rick out in California.

768
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

769
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 4: Rick?

770
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 8: Hey, good afternoon, guys. Thank you so much for taking

771
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,479
Speaker 8: my call. Yeah, so, I uh, the first thing about

772
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 8: the Josh questions, the two things I really want to

773
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 8: see from Josh this season is one, I don't want

774
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 8: to see him be the leading rusher or the second

775
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 8: leading rusher on this team. And don't get me wrong,

776
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 8: I want to see him have his time and moments

777
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 8: of spurning away and you know, doing what Josh does.

778
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 8: I want to see that, just I don't want him

779
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 8: to have the leading rushing yards on this team. And then, secondly,

780
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 8: I would love to see Josh break the bubble of

781
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 8: overtime losses. I know he hasn't won one yet and

782
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 8: it's really irking me. And then, because he has all

783
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 8: the trust in the world, I know he can get

784
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 8: it done. He just for somewhat up reason can't do it.

785
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 8: But the reason I'm calling today is the bye weeks.

786
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 8: I don't know if you guys ever talked about this,

787
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 8: but in my mind do you think the league would

788
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 8: be better doing something like this instead of having sporadic

789
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 8: bye weeks for every team from like week three to

790
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 8: week whatever, twelve, whatever it is. How about come week eight,

791
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 8: half the league takes a bye week, and then week

792
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 8: nine the other half takes a bye week, and that

793
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 8: way everybody takes their bye weeks around the same time

794
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 8: and everybody is in the same situation.

795
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think about the seeds.

796
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 3: I actually proposed that as far my master plan universal

797
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 3: bye weeks.

798
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: I proposed both sides of that. One. You have the

799
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: regular buye thing like it is now, with three or

800
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: four teams taken off on a given Sunday on a

801
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: given week. But I proposed starting the season two weeks

802
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: earlier and then everybody getting an automatic bye week on

803
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: Labor Day. Yeah, give two weeks of training camp, two

804
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: preseason games, and two regular season games, bye week, bye

805
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 1: week on Labor Day weekend. We all get a holiday.

806
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: Pretty same.

807
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: We're starting the same time, okay, starting the same time,

808
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: but you're.

809
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 2: Playing two regular season games in August.

810
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, right, And let me say for Bills

811
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: fans and Chicago fans and New England fans and Green

812
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: Bay fans better in August than in January December. But anyway,

813
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 1: that's that's my plan. And then sprinkling a bye week,

814
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: you start the same time you do now because you could. Yeah,

815
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: you it works perfectly. Training camp starts the exact same time,

816
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,959
Speaker 1: two weeks, two weeks, two weeks Labor day. So yeah,

817
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: and I'll look at my calendar and if you can,

818
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: if you can, you know, reverse engineer it. Even on

819
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: a year like this, September eighth or September ninth is

820
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: labor dare is it September ninth or is it September

821
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: second this year?

822
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's early.

823
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: It's September second, so you would be oops, September second,

824
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: So it would be the thirty first would be your last,

825
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: would be a regular season game. The twenty fourth of

826
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: August would be a regular season game. The seventeenth of

827
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: August weekend would be a preseason the tenth of August

828
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: would be a preseason.

829
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

830
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: And that's the way it is now.

831
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 3: You're moving two regular season games into August. Yeah, so

832
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 3: you're kind of pushing the whole schedule back in an

833
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 3: effort to accommodate only by my week and an extra

834
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 3: regular season, right.

835
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 1: So you would, and then that would leave August. Third

836
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: would be let's see, let's yeah, that'd be regular season,

837
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: regular season, preseason, preseason, and you would your first week

838
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: of training camp would begin.

839
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: On the usually two weeks before.

840
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: The twentieth of July. Twentieth of July today, And what's

841
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: it start this year twenty thirty third, it's no, it's

842
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: an absolute no brainer.

843
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 3: Break time for us here, But when we come back

844
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 3: more on this topic of discussion. What's next for Bill's

845
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 3: quarterback Josh Allen in his seventh season coming up here

846
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four. We take a break, but more

847
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 3: of your phone calls when we return here on One

848
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 3: Bill's Live, presented by Klida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

849
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 2: All right back here on One Bill's Live.

850
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 3: I wanted to take a minute to shed some more

851
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 3: light on the Joey Chestnut fiasco. Steve Joey Chestnut, the.

852
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: Redtitive find of the cescos, A.

853
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 3: Sixteen times competitive Eating Nathan's hot Dog Fourth of July champion,

854
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 3: is banned from the event this year after he signed

855
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 3: a deal with Impossible, the vegan meat making company, to

856
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 3: endorse their hot dogs which is apparently against the rules

857
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: of the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest. You can't support

858
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 3: any other hot dog personally. I think it's a little petty,

859
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 3: and all Nathan's has done is drawn unnecessary attention to

860
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,720
Speaker 3: the fact that Chessnuts signed a deal with another company.

861
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 3: But Dan Wetzel from Yahoo Sports encapsulated this in the

862
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 3: best hyper hyperbolic way possible. He begins by saying, Empire's fall,

863
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: castles crumble. If you can't beat him, banish him. Joey

864
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,479
Speaker 3: Chestnut has been dethroned not because another mortal could best

865
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 3: him in one of America's great marketing and capitalistic enterprises,

866
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 3: but because he dared to defy one of America's great

867
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 3: marketing and capitalistic enterprises by partaking in his own American

868
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 3: marketing and capitalistic enterprise. So it goes on to say,

869
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 3: the forty year old Californian who has proven more efficient

870
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 3: at eating one hundred percent all beef hot dogs than

871
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: any human to ever walk the earth, has an endorsement

872
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 3: deal with Impossible Foods, which happens to produce a zero

873
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 3: percent beef hot dog that was too much for the

874
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 3: sensitive souls that sanction the Nathan's competition. They are apparently

875
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 3: terrified of soy leg hemoglobin and cultured celery powder. Brooklyn

876
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 3: has gone soft. The champ is out. The King of Kings,

877
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 3: the manchild among us. The legend that was born when

878
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 3: as an engineering student at San Jose State he won

879
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 3: a deep fried asparagus eating championship has been taken down

880
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 3: by bureaucrats, not bloated bellies.

881
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 2: It just keeps going. It is outstanding. You gotta read

882
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: it at Yahoo's Sports. But he said the decision is

883
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: yet to alter history.

884
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,959
Speaker 3: Babe Ruth at the plate, Michael Jordan in the air,

885
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 3: Neil Armstrong on the moon. Nothing compared to chestnuts staring

886
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 3: down a plate of all beef wieners inside a Coney

887
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 3: Island Minor League baseball stadium each Independence Day. Nothing could

888
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: be more American. This is why Paul Revere rode to Lexington,

889
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 3: George Washington crossed the Delaware, and Evil Knievel jumped the

890
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 3: Snake River.

891
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 1: Why do you think.

892
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 3: Rick Flair, John Wayne and Dale Earnhardt Sr.

893
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 2: Each made sure to get born here? This is America.

894
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 2: Baby Ah, It's unbelievable.

895
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 3: I can't believe he's not gonna be in this thing,

896
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 3: somebody's gonna start a movement. I'm telling you they actually

897
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 3: listed some of Joey chestnuts accomplishments and a competitive eating

898
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 3: forty seven grilled chet samp grilled cheese sandwich is in

899
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 3: ten minutes, eighty two carnitas tacos in eight minutes two

900
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty seven, hostess don'ts in six minutes two

901
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty seven.

902
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: That it's almost you read that, it's almost scary to

903
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: think about.

904
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 3: Thus redefining what humans are capable of accomplishing.

905
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 2: Wow, and we won't see it now.

906
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 3: I'm if I'm impossible foods. I am renting out space

907
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 3: literally one hundred yards from the Nathan's hot Dog eating competition,

908
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna put Joey Chestnut on a stage and

909
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, Joey, you're eating our hot dogs. Go

910
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 3: and you run it at the same exact time as

911
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 3: Nathan's contest, and I'll tell you you'll be able to pull

912
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 3: everybody off of that contest and come right over to

913
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 3: your stand, probably rent out some space.

914
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 2: Chest Nuts the draw.

915
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: You're an urban legend. You're You're like an urban guy.

916
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: That's what you're like the fight back, face them off,

917
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 1: show them up. That is a total You're a total

918
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: New York See who better us? In the Midwesterners have

919
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more grace and mercy towards our fellow competitors.

920
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: I would probably, Yeah, we've probably just burned the stadium

921
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: down the night before. They couldn't have it.

922
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's necessarily more uh more or

923
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 3: less confrontational?

924
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, passive aggressive?

925
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: No, I that's uh yeah. As a spokesperson myself, that is,

926
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: I think that's a bad idea by Joey.

927
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe because, let's face it, the money must have

928
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 3: been right though.

929
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah maybe, but if if if you're doing it

930
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: for the money, you're doing it for the money.

931
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 4: I get it.

932
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: But when let's face it, Joey chest I didn't ever

933
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,479
Speaker 1: hear about him until the hot dog thing. That's right,

934
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: so you know there is there's gotta be a little

935
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: bit of a.

936
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 3: But he's one of six times I get it, Like

937
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 3: nobody's even he ate seventy six three years ago.

938
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: I get it at all. It's awesome.

939
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 2: It's it's great, but I watch it every year.

940
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: It's because of that. Don't you at least like pick

941
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 1: up the phone and say, hey, listen, I'm thinking about

942
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: doing this. You have a problem with it. Perhaps he

943
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: could have done you know, how about you know, and

944
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: that's just to do that. Obviously they didn't know about it,

945
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: or maybe they didn't know about it and they said

946
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: don't do it, and he said, you know, I'm doing it.

947
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: Then I see it. But you've got to make that

948
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: phone call, right, you got to make the phone call,

949
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: say hey, listen, I'm thinking about doing They're offering me

950
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: a lot of money, I know, and I'm not getting

951
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: you guys don't paying me anything. I'm just a participant.

952
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: So what about it? You know, that's that's too bad.

953
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 3: Apparently the contest began dates back to July fourth, nineteen sixteen, when,

954
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 3: according to legend, four immigrants decided to see who could

955
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 3: eat more hot dogs to settle a bait over who

956
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 3: was the most patriotic, Which, you know, the proper metric

957
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 3: to judge such.

958
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: A thing, how many hot dogs you can eat the fastest.

959
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are considered. Dan Wetzel writes, they are considered

960
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: the original four horsemen of the esophagus.

961
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 3: It's really well done. Salute to Dan Wessel from Yaho Sports.

962
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 3: It was a phenomenal write up, really really good stuff.

983
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 7: would like to say first off that I am enjoying

984
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 7: your show thoroughly today because you guys sound like a

985
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 7: comedy act. You're throwing them out there today. I'm over

986
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 7: here laughing, great, great. I mean, you guys are killing it,

987
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 7: you know, and I have to I have to let

988
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 7: you I fill you in on something here. I know

989
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 7: exactly where Aaron Rodgers is right now. He's in Liverpool,

990
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 7: England at a Taylor Swift concert, because she's putting on

991
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 7: three shows the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth. I had to

992
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 7: do my homework. So wow, he's trying to steal Taylor

993
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 7: Swift right out from underneath Travis. That's right. How about that.

994
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 7: He's not a Rolling Stones concert. He's over there with

995
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 7: Taylor Swift right now.

996
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 4: All right.

997
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 7: So anyways, as far as Josh Allen, I would, I

998
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 7: would my expect he seems all right. I hope that

999
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 7: he feels a little more comfortable in the pocket this year.

1000
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 7: You know, quick release, you know, the quick lance and

1001
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 7: the quick outs, but also hitting a man downfield over

1002
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 7: over the top, finding that receiver. I know he struggled

1003
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 7: with that last year. Just a little more a little

1004
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 7: more maturity in his play, play thoughts, you know, as

1005
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 7: he's performing on on the field, just a little bit

1006
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 7: more maturity that he's immature, just you know, decision making,

1007
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 7: his decision making when to run and when not to run.

1008
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 7: But more more or less standing in the pocket and

1009
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 7: being comfortable in the pocket. Guys, thank you very very much.

1010
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate you're right. Here's the thing you think about

1011
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: when you see Josh play. He rarely stands back there

1012
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,959
Speaker 1: and makes it look easy, you know what I mean.

1013
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 1: It's always, like, you know, even when he drops back

1014
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: and lets it go on time, which happens a bunch,

1015
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: you always you never get the feeling that it's he's

1016
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: never nonchalant back there, right like Aaron Rodgers.

1017
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 2: He looks like he's sitting in a launchair.

1018
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like he couldn't be more cat. He's

1019
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: he's playing whiffle ball and he's catching, you know. I mean,

1020
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: that's that's the kind of feel you get when you

1021
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: watch him play. Every quarterback is different. They all have

1022
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: their own personnel any the way they play. Josh has

1023
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: never been one to make it look easy. I think

1024
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fans kind of crave that from him,

1025
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: because they still they score a ton of points. He

1026
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: scores a ton of touchdown.

1027
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 2: He makes it work.

1028
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: They got they're the toughest team in the league not

1029
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: to get, you know, to hold on third down. They

1030
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: get more first downs than anybody, but it never looks

1031
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: like Presto Chanjo, you know.

1032
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 3: As Rob our last caller, was saying all of that,

1033
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 3: it reminded me of multiple conversations that we've had on

1034
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 3: Fridays on this show during the season with Greg Cosell,

1035
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 3: who is firmly of the opinion that in his view,

1036
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 3: Josh leaves the pocket too early, too often when it's

1037
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 3: not even necessary to do so, And that immediately triggered

1038
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 3: in my head when Rob said, I'd like to see

1039
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 3: him stay in the pocket and deliver from there. And

1040
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 3: I think that also caters to what we were talking

1041
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 3: about last hour regarding Josh, which is he's had a

1042
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,959
Speaker 3: point in his career now where maybe take a little

1043
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 3: bit of the load off of yourself and you doing it,

1044
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 3: and maybe be more of a facilitator and let other

1045
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 3: players handle getting yards after the catch for you, or

1046
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 3: being an easy button answer where the ball's out of

1047
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 3: your hand quickly, or you can just hit the top

1048
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 3: of your drop step into a throw in the pocket

1049
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 3: and not worry about running around and buying time and

1050
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 3: going off script.

1051
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, And that's a lot of that does have

1052
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: to do with it. It does have to do with

1053
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: Josh and his evolution, no question about it. But it

1054
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: also has to do with the people around him to

1055
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: play calls and the atmosphere and every given play in

1056
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 1: the matchups. And you know, it's a lot of it

1057
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: is Josh, but it's a lot of other factors as

1058
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: well that he doesn't control. So when it's there, and

1059
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: I I really do believe that it's more about how

1060
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: you hit the perception of Josh and where his mind's

1061
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: at when he's out there hurdling guys and all that

1062
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: more so than when he's standing in the pocket and

1063
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: just throwing the football with no pressure all that stuff.

1064
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: I think we just we focus too much, and we

1065
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: think we feel like Josh runs every single play, drops back,

1066
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: runs around, makes a play, drops back, runs around, makes

1067
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: a play that's not really true. He drops back and

1068
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: gets rid of it on time a lot a lot.

1069
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: But those aren't highlight plays. Those are just regular football plays,

1070
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: and we don't you know, you don't see those one

1071
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: hundred times on a on a loop on Twitter, right,

1072
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: you see the ones where he's running around and shucking

1073
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: a guy off and stiff arming a guy and leaping

1074
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: over a guy and all that and hook shot down

1075
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: the field to you know, to his teammate, all that stuff.

1076
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: So you kind of get the perception that that's all

1077
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: he does. And I don't think that's true. I'm so

1078
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: you're right. It would be nice if they scored the

1079
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: same amount or more points than they did last year

1080
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: and have it look easier. But that's kind of what

1081
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: we're talking about.

1082
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think.

1083
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 3: Putting maybe, and this might be a work in progress too,

1084
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 3: because there is so much newness, particularly at the skilled positions,

1085
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 3: but putting more faith in the guys around you to

1086
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 3: help carry the load. That's not to say he didn't

1087
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 3: trust his teammates. I'm sure he did. He wouldn't go

1088
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 3: out on the field with them if he didn't. I

1089
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 3: guess what I'm getting at is maybe, in a difficult

1090
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 3: spot on a got to have it play instead of

1091
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 3: just tucking it and running, maybe trust that you know

1092
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 3: you're that Khalil Shakir or Daldenkin Kate is going to

1093
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 3: come down with the football and run the route you

1094
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 3: need him to route to make to make the play

1095
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 3: you need to make to win the football game.

1096
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it comes down to when he's back there. Do

1097
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: I trust that that throw into traffic has just as

1098
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: much of a chance as me hanging on to it

1099
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:11,919
Speaker 1: and trying to get it myself, Which it doesn't look

1100
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: right now like I can, but I think I can.

1101
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: Is that which flip the coin? Right? Is it a

1102
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 1: risky throw or is it a risky run? And it'd

1103
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: be nice to have him make that risky throw and

1104
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: have it come through for him enough that he feels

1105
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: comfortable doing it.

1106
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 3: More and more, what's next for Bill's quarterback Josh Allen

1107
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 3: in year seven?

1108
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 2: Let's spin it over to the tweet sheet here. Tweet

1109
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: sheet brought to you by.

1110
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 3: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

1111
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills, and Connor says since twenty twenty, Josh has

1112
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 3: been snubbed for MVP. He will never get the backing

1113
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 3: of the national media if he has eighteen interceptions. I

1114
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 3: have no issues with his I iNTS the good far

1115
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 3: out weighs the bad.

1116
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 2: But for me, bare minimum. I think MVP.

1117
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,479
Speaker 3: What I want is MVP super Bowl, MVP super Bowl

1118
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 3: champ Go Bills.

1119
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 2: Oh is that all, Connor? Is that all you've got

1120
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 2: on the list, the whole Enchilada?

1121
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean welcome to the club. I mean, well, sweep,

1122
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: that's where Bill's Mafius resides wholeheartedly.

1123
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1124
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: That and there's You're right. In twenty twenty, Josh exploded

1125
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: into that conversation and has never left since, and I

1126
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: would imagine he's going to be there again.

1127
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 3: Seth on the tweets sheet says, MVP, MVP and a ring.

1128
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 3: I think the national narrative by Halloween will be can

1129
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 3: you believe what Alan is doing with this cast of

1130
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 3: wide receivers? There's no true number one guy. Everybody knocking

1131
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 3: it since the Digs trade. But I think this will

1132
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 3: be seventeen's best season yet, all the accolades coming. People

1133
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 3: think he's gonna have like this giant season, and his

1134
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 3: production has been off this.

1135
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Just because they haven't had Just because Khalil Secure is

1136
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: the only returning white Out who's caught a pass doesn't

1137
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: mean they don't have a number one. I think we're

1138
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: gonna find out real early who the number one is.

1139
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Even if it's a guy like Cook or Kincaid or

1140
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,919
Speaker 1: knock So you name it. There's gonna be a number

1141
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: one guy there, always is. That's the way football works.

1142
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: One guy seems to be a problem, and that's it.

1143
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: And even on bad teams, there's at least one guy

1144
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: who's more consistently good than anybody else who stinks.

1145
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 4: Right, So you.

1146
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Can bet that's gonna happen with Buffalo too. So by Halloween,

1147
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna know exactly who the who the you know,

1148
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: major portion of the targets you're gonna be going at,

1149
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: we'll know. So there's gonna be a number one. We

1150
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: may not know who it is, I'll bet you there's

1151
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: some discussion and some pretty good ideas in the coaching

1152
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: staff and in the locker room about who it's gonna

1153
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: be even now.

1154
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, from Bill's All Day Super Bowl MVP forty three

1155
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 3: hundred regular season passing yards, fifth season of forty plus touchdowns,

1156
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 3: ten picks.

1157
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 2: There's a stat line Colin says MVP.

1158
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 3: However, the voters need to get over their love of

1159
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 3: just giving it to the quarterback of the best regular

1160
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 3: season team, as well as the defense showing up in

1161
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 3: the biggest game of the year in January because we

1162
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 3: know Josh will so somebody's still a little sore about

1163
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 3: defensive performances.

1164
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 2: In the postseason.

1165
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 3: Steve says Josh will have the highest completion percentage of

1166
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:28,439
Speaker 3: his career, the most efficient stats of his career, and.

1167
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 2: Will win the MVP.

1168
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 3: He will do all of this while not having to

1169
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 3: be Superman all of the time and carry the team,

1170
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 3: so he's kind of in line with us to a

1171
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 3: certain extent. Steve takes it a step further by saying

1172
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 3: the efficiency of the passing game will be very high,

1173
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 3: which to me, if you want to translate that to

1174
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 3: this group, I say, it's Shakir and Kincaid working the

1175
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 3: middle of the field on high percentage throws, and then

1176
01:02:54,080 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 3: even outside, you know, you got probably a lot more

1177
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 3: intermediate throws with you know, just a handful of plays

1178
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 3: a game, and you're probably throwing to that guy James Cook.

1179
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you're gonna throw the football down the

1180
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: field occasionally because it's just you know, that's why you

1181
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: got a quarterback with an arm. You got to make

1182
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: them defend the entire field and or at least threaten it,

1183
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: and that is well established that Josh can make those throws.

1184
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of in agreement with Steve, not me,

1185
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: the other Steve that this is gonna look a little different.

1186
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna spread it around, the ball is gonna come out,

1187
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: and defenses are just gonna they're gonna have to start

1188
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: gambling to make something happen against this offense. And when

1189
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: they do that, then you're gonna be able to really

1190
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: nick them for big plays. My offensive coordinator, Teddy Marchibroda,

1191
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: who's one of the all time great coaches in NFL history,

1192
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: just a tremendous coach and a great guy, wonderful human being,

1193
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: said this, and we said it, we recited in the

1194
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: media constantly. All you need to do is play good

1195
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: football and have a big play. Good football in the

1196
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: big play. You don't have to do anything spectacular. The

1197
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: big plays will come. And that's that's what an offense is.

1198
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: It's just good, solid football and then a big play.

1199
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: That's what this offense could look like with Josh Allen

1200
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: all these receivers, because Josh is what big play waiting

1201
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: to happen all the time. Yeah. I like the look

1202
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: of that if you can get the ball out of

1203
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: Josh's hand into a guy that's on the run with

1204
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: some yards after catch capabilities, and that's I think that's

1205
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: the recipe for success in the NFL at this point

1206
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: in history.

1207
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Josh's highest completion percentage obviously came in twenty twenty

1208
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 3: sixty nine point two percent completion. The second highest completion

1209
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 3: percentage season of his career last season sixty six point

1210
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 3: five percent.

1211
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, and he had seven more past.

1212
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 3: A ten MPs in twenty twenty three then he did

1213
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty. Last season was second in terms of

1214
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 3: pass attempts in a single season in his career. The

1215
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 3: high was in twenty twenty one when he threw at

1216
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 3: six hundred and forty six times.

1217
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 2: So there's that.

1218
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 3: And he probably would have been close to that had

1219
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 3: Joe Brady not taken over his oc because once he did,

1220
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 3: the Bills ran the ball fifty two percent of the

1221
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 3: time and threw it forty eight percent of the time

1222
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 3: after Joe Brady took over his play caller. Now, after

1223
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 3: hearing about Josh altering his throwing motion here in the offseason,

1224
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 3: he said he did it because his throwing motion was

1225
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 3: getting elongated and he was overstriding based on the films

1226
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 3: that he watched from late last season, and he said

1227
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 3: it was due to avoiding elbow and shoulder pain. I

1228
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 3: wonder how much Joe Brady leaned on the running game

1229
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 3: because of that factor, knowing that Josh was dealing with pain,

1230
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 3: let's not overtax the arm.

1231
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 2: I wonder if that played a role at all.

1232
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: So we should ask him that in training camp when

1233
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 1: they get back. Certainly it might have been a consideration,

1234
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: and it would all depend on how much feedback Josh

1235
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: gave them about what he was feeling. If if he

1236
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: was saying no, no, it's good, I'm good, I handle it,

1237
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: they might not have made those decisions about running the

1238
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: football and in run neutral downs, but they did so.

1239
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: More often than not. They went fifty to fifty and

1240
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: run neutral downs, and I think they did that. Going

1241
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: to fifty to fifty to me, does not sound like

1242
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: a reaction to Josh's elbow or shoulder any of that stuff.

1243
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: It sounds to me like a concerted effort.

1244
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 3: At analytics week twelve to eighteen, under Joe Brady, the

1245
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 3: Bills led the NFL in rushes per game, with thirty

1246
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 3: six point seven on average.

1247
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 4: There you go.

1248
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be in the soup this year.

1249
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that happened though, and

1250
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: listen and think about it, they won. They were in

1251
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 1: a five game heat to end the season when they

1252
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: had absolutely had to have it and they were still

1253
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: handing it off. One of the reasons for that, we've

1254
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: talked about a lot is the fact they had the

1255
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,919
Speaker 1: only offensive line that was completely healthy in the entire

1256
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: league that had never had a guy switch out. And

1257
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: they wrote it push, push him out, guys, let's go,

1258
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: and they did it. They were they were good offensive line,

1259
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: they were big, physical and athletic. Let's ride them. That

1260
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,919
Speaker 1: still doesn't mean that I still don't know that that's

1261
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: a reaction to Josh's injuries.

1262
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 3: We have received word that practice has concluded for day

1263
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 3: two of mandatory mini camp and it's a tag team effort.

1264
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 3: At the post practice podium, Dawson Knox and Connor McGovern

1265
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 3: addressing the media, let's go there.

1266
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 10: Now mini camp and and in terms of team building

1267
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 10: things that you've done off the field on the field,

1268
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 10: just how do you guys felt that chemistry.

1269
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 11: Really been working on my golf game off the field

1270
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 11: that's coming along being didn't some tips from Josh. A

1271
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 11: lot of the guy's been hitting the range, been hitting

1272
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 11: the course recently. But on the field it's been awesome.

1273
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 11: Kind of working on some extra stuff after practice, whether

1274
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 11: it's actual routes, we need new plays. Joe Brady's been

1275
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 11: doing a great job getting the new installs into us.

1276
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 11: So I think just more reps you get on the field,

1277
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 11: more prepared we're going to be for camp.

1278
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 4: But it will be great. Connor too, that is your question.

1279
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, and Connor hosts amazing pizza parties at his

1280
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 11: house almost bi weekly, but he makes probably what.

1281
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: Thirty pizzas, No, I'm not that much.

1282
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 11: It's close to thirty. They're They're unbelievable. And he kind

1283
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 11: of hosts offense as a whole. Great team building experiences

1284
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 11: eating Connor's pizza.

1285
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 2: A lot of new stuff from Joe.

1286
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 12: How much truly cats new and different from even what

1287
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 12: he was using the back.

1288
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 4: It was the interim West.

1289
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 11: It's been really cool because a lot of it is

1290
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 11: similar stuff to what we've been doing, just with a

1291
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 11: few wrinkles here and there. Changing up personnel, grew formations,

1292
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 11: keeping a lot of stuff the same, but and then

1293
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 11: new concepts. It's cool because a lot of it is

1294
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 11: kind of already We've already kind of put the foundation in,

1295
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 11: so that's when he kind of starts getting being able

1296
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 11: to tweak stuff, you know, add a little pomp on

1297
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 11: a route, different alerts, Josh can make it a line.

1298
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 11: There's been a fairly good bit of learning, but overall

1299
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 11: pretty similar stuff.

1300
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 12: What about your comfortability and even Joe's with you and

1301
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 12: Dalton and how do you can por and use you

1302
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 12: guys together or separately now with a full year under

1303
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 12: your belt.

1304
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's something I'm most excited for. Obviously it might

1305
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 11: be a little biased, but the more you can get

1306
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 11: in twelve personnel, the more the defense has to respect

1307
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 11: the run and the past. Because you know, if you

1308
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 11: bring in base personnel, you got a linebacker covering me

1309
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,600
Speaker 11: or Dalton, we're just gonna spread you out exploit those matchups.

1310
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 11: But then if you if you bring in a nickel,

1311
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 11: you know we're gonna go put twelve personnel in the box.

1312
01:09:57,960 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 11: Run the ball down your throat. I mean, we got

1313
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 11: these guys blocking for us up front. James Cook can

1314
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 11: run the ball pretty well. So it's just fun having

1315
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 11: that versatility, something that I think we're going to keep

1316
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 11: building them on.

1317
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 8: This is a.

1318
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 13: Question for the both of you, now that you guys

1319
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 13: have had OTA's a mandatory mini camp together, what's the

1320
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 13: sense of excitement here as you're starting to build what

1321
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 13: the season is going to look like on.

1322
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 14: The field, if you want me to, I think just

1323
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 14: the way this offense has come together, we've had more

1324
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 14: of a youth movement, I would say on the team

1325
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 14: as whole, but just the way from Joe Brady leading us,

1326
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 14: the coach taking over, I think it's gonna be a

1327
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 14: fun electric here as entire offense. Different guys getting the ball,

1328
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 14: gonna run the ball more up front. So I think

1329
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:38,759
Speaker 14: it's gonna be a fun year to watch the Bill's offense.

1330
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1331
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:45,759
Speaker 11: Absolutely, I think just the first four year under Joe Brady.

1332
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 11: He kind of was thrown into the fire last year.

1333
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 11: So just having a full offseason with him learning the

1334
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 11: new system, getting extra just time on task with him,

1335
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 11: getting comfortable with him. He's been He's been doing an

1336
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 11: awesome job with communication to He kind of pours into

1337
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 11: us to where we feel comfortable going up to his

1338
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 11: office and hey, we like this, don't like that, And

1339
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 11: just seeing that two way Street has been pretty cool

1340
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 11: so far.

1341
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,679
Speaker 15: Dawson near one of the Bills who's been here the longest. Now,

1342
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 15: how does that change where you do kind of promote

1343
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:17,680
Speaker 15: the leadership perspective?

1344
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it definitely adds a little sense of

1345
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 11: urgency to be more of a vocal leader. I think

1346
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 11: my leadership style is more one on one, more personal,

1347
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 11: you know, more locker room stuff. I'm not gonna be

1348
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 11: the guy giving hype speeches or doing any of the

1349
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 11: raw rock game day stuff. But I think realizing now,

1350
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 11: I think I mean, I think Josh and Dion are

1351
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 11: the only guys in the offense that have been here

1352
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 11: longer than me. So I think it's just taking that

1353
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 11: leadership to the next level, having that extra confidence to

1354
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 11: speak up when I see something that might not be

1355
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 11: going right, or you know, really check on a guy

1356
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 11: that might be not doing well off the field. So

1357
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 11: I think it's it's definitely added level of responsibility. But

1358
01:11:58,680 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 11: I've been enjoying it so far.

1359
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 10: To keep to keep the one going, No, just for Dawson,

1360
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 10: sorry to kill to keep them going. I'm sorry, but

1361
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 10: how this is really the first time that job bens.

1362
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,799
Speaker 10: He's under going up patrick challenge under Josh.

1363
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 16: How have you seen him? And and that's really a

1364
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 16: credit an exposure fact that the franchise quarterbacks just what

1365
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 16: happened for franchise quarterbacks? How has here?

1366
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 10: How have you seen him accept that role and accept

1367
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 10: that change with welcome in all these you guys for

1368
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 10: a second.

1369
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 11: Time in this great Yeah, I think Joe Brady said

1370
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 11: up plenty of times, it's not a Joe Brady offense.

1371
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 11: It's a Josh Allen offense. And he's been doing a

1372
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 11: great job really living by that. You know, he's got

1373
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 11: Josh in his office a bunch listening to what he wants,

1374
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 11: what he likes, letting him design certain things. We've had

1375
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 11: periods where Josh calls it plays. It's been really cool

1376
01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 11: seeing that next step taken. Obviously, he's been a franchise

1377
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 11: quarterback for a while now, and we might be biased,

1378
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 11: but we believe, you know, he's the greatest quarterback in

1379
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 11: the league. So I think anytime you got that guy

1380
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 11: in your team, you're gonna have a chance to go

1381
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 11: win the whole thing. So it's been fine saying both

1382
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 11: of them take that next step.

1383
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 4: I don't here with cook guy.

1384
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 2: He wanted to be in one of the top rushers

1385
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL. If what clickt they got the running

1386
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 2: game going every click.

1387
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 14: I think it all started back about a few weeks

1388
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 14: into the season started, we brought the running backs in,

1389
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 14: Like Wednesday morning, we go over to the run running saw.

1390
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 14: We brought the running backscene with us and they start

1391
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 14: seeing how we hit our aiming points where we want

1392
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 14: them to start cutting the ball back, and just them

1393
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 14: seeing how we think about stuff. And then we see

1394
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 14: where they want to cut, what why they're choosing to

1395
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 14: cut back, and when they do, like they're seeing color

1396
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 14: like the linebacker come down. I just think all of

1397
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 14: us getting on the same page. I allow us just

1398
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 14: to click and then just take that next step forward.

1399
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 17: Then your role having to communicate a lot more. Would

1400
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 17: you say, how would you characterize that? I mean, do

1401
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 17: you have to be way more vocal than you were?

1402
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, definitely said it's on the center job to make

1403
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 14: sure everyone's on the same page. And last year I

1404
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 14: helped Mitch a lot, like with the calls, but in

1405
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 14: the day it was his show to run and now

1406
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 14: it's mine, And I just love that extra like, wait

1407
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 14: on mucholder to do that and just got to be

1408
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 14: the tip of the spear.

1409
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:15,679
Speaker 17: I mean that doesn't you've been around long enough.

1410
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not.

1411
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 17: Like it would be hard, really hard for a rookie.

1412
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but do you feel like you're in the same offense.

1413
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 4: With Yeah, it's definitely been year two.

1414
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely being year two.

1415
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 14: Know the offense on more makes me a lot more

1416
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 14: comfortable than just going back to center. Not I would

1417
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,879
Speaker 14: say center is my natural position, so it's just going.

1418
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: Back home.

1419
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 4: This podcast.

1420
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: How much did.

1421
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 4: I missed it? A lot? Honestly.

1422
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 14: So I got drafted as the center originally, and then

1423
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 14: new code and stuff came in. I got moved to

1424
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 14: guard and always kind of seek my way back to

1425
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 14: center everything every time something happened, play a little bit,

1426
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 14: and then always want back to guard. Now fish, I

1427
01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 14: could move back to center permanently for right now. So

1428
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 14: I'm very happy. Yeah makes it.

1429
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 4: That's what I always so.

1430
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 14: I was actually hard to believe, but I was actually

1431
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 14: undersized growing up, like in high school. Surprisingly, so I

1432
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 14: was always a center because I was usually the smallest one.

1433
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 14: And then once I hit my growth spurt, finally I

1434
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 14: just stay at center, went to pensa center, moved the guard,

1435
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 14: then went back to center, And it was just always

1436
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 14: something natural, like I always like being that the guy

1437
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 14: right in the middle, and that was always comfortable to me.

1438
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 10: When he got on the sad page with the running backs,

1439
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 10: is that under course?

1440
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 3: Uh?

1441
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 4: Yes, that's the one started all that.

1442
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 14: And then when Joe Brady took over, he made sure

1443
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 14: we're every single time we were doing that like that

1444
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 14: was something forefront. And then like even on Fridays, like

1445
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,640
Speaker 14: Josh would come to o line like we started like

1446
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,600
Speaker 14: probably three quarters away through the through the year, he

1447
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 14: would come to the line like, all right, which runs

1448
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 14: do we want to start with? What do we want

1449
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 14: thrown out?

1450
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 4: What do we like?

1451
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 14: What don't we like? Just stuff like that and just

1452
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 14: made us more comfortable and we all started trusting each

1453
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 14: other a little bit more.

1454
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 15: I was down in the relationship then with Josh. I

1455
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 15: mean the basic thing about the center's step, Yeah, said

1456
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 15: that he was used to having his hands under what's

1457
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 15: it been like with Josh's placement and kind of getting

1458
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 15: used to both.

1459
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 14: Yeah, uh yeah. So Mitch had a little different on

1460
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 14: a snapping technique, so he would usually bring it to

1461
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 14: the left a little bit more so the first day.

1462
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 14: He means, Josh are just working on it, Like I

1463
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 14: found that where Josh likes to put his hands and

1464
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 14: where he could feel it, and so we just got

1465
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 14: used to it.

1466
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly does it take just reps?

1467
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 14: It's just getting used to each other. Yeah, So I

1468
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 14: would say after the first three or four reps, he

1469
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 14: found out where I placed the ball, I found out

1470
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:33,759
Speaker 14: where his hand like he likes his hand naturally, and

1471
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 14: just went from there.

1472
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 13: Dawson, you're used as a blocker sometimes on the line

1473
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 13: of Scrimmadge. Why do you feel like Connor is ready

1474
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 13: for this.

1475
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 11: Opportunity, this new role man, His communication has been on point,

1476
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 11: no pun intended. There great mic points. But I think

1477
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 11: he second, he's been doing a great job just taking

1478
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 11: charge of the offense, taking charge of the offensive line,

1479
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 11: the blocking schemes, and making sure that the guard gets

1480
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 11: the call, getting to the call to the tackle and

1481
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 11: then relaying that to us at tight end. So sometimes

1482
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 11: it's hard because you know, if the sinner's just delayed

1483
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 11: a little bit on their call, it takes a while

1484
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 11: for you to go from guard to tackle the tight end.

1485
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 11: But been doing a great job getting in quick some

1486
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 11: of the we're just gonn keep getting better.

1487
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: At two he's been.

1488
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 11: He's been awesome.

1489
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 15: Alson, where's the biggest different CC in Dulgo this time

1490
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 15: and I was compared to this time last year?

1491
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:23,640
Speaker 1: I think just confidence.

1492
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 11: Really, he's proven he can already ball out at the

1493
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 11: stage question to get miked up to that, Yeah, I

1494
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 11: can't publicly say that we're starting to room dal Dalton

1495
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:40,879
Speaker 11: went into our media office and requested to get miked up. Maybe,

1496
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 11: but just his confidence has grown so much. He knows

1497
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 11: where to line up, he knows what defenses are going

1498
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 11: to do before they do it. He's building that chemistry

1499
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 11: with Josh so last year, I think his head was

1500
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 11: spent on a little bit this time of.

1501
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 4: The year, but.

1502
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 11: He's already leaps and bounds above what he was last year,

1503
01:17:58,320 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 11: which is saying something because he was one of the

1504
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 11: well polished rookies I've ever seen. So he's been doing

1505
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 11: an incredible job just building on it.

1506
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 13: Dawson, what do you feel like you guys as a

1507
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 13: team have accomplished over.

1508
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 4: The last month or so.

1509
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 11: I think first and foremost are chemistry because we have

1510
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,719
Speaker 11: so many new guys in the building. Lots of guys

1511
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 11: that will be missing, but there's been some awesome new

1512
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 11: guys stepping in, stepping up, taking on the challenge. So

1513
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 11: kind of getting to know those new faces not just

1514
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 11: as football players but as men. Just building that, building

1515
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 11: those relationships I think has been huge. And yeah, football wise,

1516
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 11: like learning the playbook and everything's big, but I mean,

1517
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 11: the most well knit teams, I think win championships, So

1518
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 11: I think we've been doing a great job of that.

1519
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 1: It's a new veteran and.

1520
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 16: And maybe it's pretty proud of you, but doing with

1521
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 16: this hop type questions, but well, they watch this guy,

1522
01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 16: they lots this guy, the big.

1523
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 10: Team, this in this collectors.

1524
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 11: I mean, it's one of those things that you know,

1525
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 11: people will speculate all off season and people will make

1526
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 11: projections and predictions. But the fun part is we get,

1527
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 11: you know, seventeen opportunities to go out there and show

1528
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 11: who we are. And for now, we're just kind of

1529
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 11: focusing on us, learning the playbook and creating that identity

1530
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 11: now that we'll be able to showcase one game at

1531
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 11: a time. And so right now, I don't think there's

1532
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 11: must approve other than just working on us staying, staying everything,

1533
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 11: just keep it one day at a time.

1534
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 1: Veteran All right.

01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 18: But yeah, just just me having a full season here

1571
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 18: and being able to do what I did last year

1572
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 18: for a whole season with the team.

1573
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 17: I mean, you made a big impact coming in on

1574
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 17: the fly. You know, you got your hands on a

1575
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 17: lot of balls. Can it how much difference can have

1576
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 17: a whole offseason here?

1577
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 4: Make? Is that?

Speaker 18: better than what I did last year.

1581
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:51,759
Speaker 4: And more games definitely helps helps.

1582
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 10: That you've been around him today, You've got a chance to.

1583
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 16: Light up against I'm not sure. I wasn't here yesterday.

1584
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 16: But what have your impressions been? A as a receiver,

1585
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 16: just as a whoop chit just help?

1586
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 4: What is what is protection?

1587
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 16: Like a little brief talk receive?

1588
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 17: Yeah.

1589
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 4: I haven't seen too much of him.

1590
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 12: Uh.

1591
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 4: He he's made some plays. He's young. Uh, he's still

1592
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 4: trying to learn.

1593
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 18: I think that's the the thing that that helps him

1594
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 18: the best is just be a learner. And he's a

1595
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 18: he's a cool guy off the field. You know, he's

1596
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 18: like he's a joker, you know what I mean. So, Uh,

1597
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 18: he's funny. Uh, he's chill.

1598
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 4: So are you.

1599
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:33,680
Speaker 12: Describing Bobby Babbage in the defensive coordinator home?

1600
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 4: U juiced? Juiced. He's a lot of energy.

1601
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,560
Speaker 18: Even last year when I first got here, I was

1602
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 18: just like, man that that guy doesn't change.

1603
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 8: Uh.

1604
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 4: Every day he comes in and you know he's coming.

1605
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 4: You can hear him. He's loud. Uh, he's up.

1606
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 18: It's like he takes like a five hour energy as

1607
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 18: soon as he wakes up.

1608
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 4: It's the first thing he does. And that's that's some

1609
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 4: all day.

1610
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:54,680
Speaker 1: What does that do for y'all?

1611
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 15: As a defense?

1612
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 18: I wake you up, cause you gotta try to match

1613
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 18: his match his energy, you know, like he he's ready,

1614
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 18: he's juiced, he's pumped to go out there. It's like

1615
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 18: he's playing like that's that's how he feels like he's playing.

1616
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 18: So you kind of kind of gotta wake up. If

1617
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 18: you're not already up, you gotta kind of get there.

1618
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 17: When you mentioned you're trying to do better this year,

1619
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:13,760
Speaker 17: do you have like specific goals that you're working on

1620
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:15,640
Speaker 17: or what does that approach kind of look like of

1621
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 17: just trying to take the next step.

1622
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think every great athlete or wants to be

1623
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:24,679
Speaker 18: great has their own goals, and you also have team goals,

1624
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 18: but just just actually like a Pro Bowl, all pro

1625
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 18: trying to get to that. That's what I said my

1626
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 18: goal was, So I'm looking forward to that.

1627
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 12: How do you approach contract here and how much focus

1628
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 12: on it?

1629
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 2: Don't focus on it, pressure or any of those.

1630
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 18: Or this is my contractet right here? Yeah, Oh, I

1631
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:47,840
Speaker 18: don't know shit. Hopefully upstairs they see and think that

1632
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 18: I'm worth something and decide to put a little bit

1633
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:51,479
Speaker 18: green in my.

1634
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 4: Pocket now that you're a long time Huh, did you

1635
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 4: not know?

1636
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 18: I don't really pay attention to it. I just play football.

1637
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 18: You know that that stuff alway comes when when the

1638
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 18: right time.

1639
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 17: So now that you've been around Christian Benford, you know longer,

1640
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 17: you know went stands out about him.

1641
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 4: CEB that that's my guy man.

1642
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 18: I honestly like me and c B like even the

1643
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 18: whole offseason, like we call each other pride every other

1644
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 18: day and just just talk ball and family. Cause he

1645
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 18: got a he got a son like I got a son.

1646
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 18: So this week was we were supposed to actually take

1647
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 18: our son somewhere, but then his son got into uh

1648
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 18: something uh that he had to go home for, so

1649
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:26,680
Speaker 18: we actually couldn't do it.

1650
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,720
Speaker 4: But as that's my guy, I like the way he

1651
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 4: come to work every day.

1652
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 18: He plays hard, he practice hard, uh and he like

1653
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 18: he talks to you and let you know like what

1654
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 18: he sees from his perspective and and what you see.

1655
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 4: He kind of just bounce ideas off each other.

1656
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:42,719
Speaker 18: So that that's one thing I like about him, besides

1657
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 18: that he's trying to be a great man and a

1658
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 18: great father.

1659
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 16: Based on you not know anger Chris' contract kills probably

1660
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 16: in it probably answers like question, but you weren't here

1661
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 16: for a lot.

1662
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 4: Of ball serious sections Yeah, wa.

1663
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 10: Was that Is that just this is the first time

1664
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:58,440
Speaker 10: we've got to know you. Is that part of your routine.

1665
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 4: In the office. Yeah, I always don't go to volunteer.

1666
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 18: I just I mean, if you know, athletes and like

1667
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 18: the mindset that you have to be in during the season,

1668
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 18: you can't be in at the whole time, so you

1669
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 18: gotta take a break from it.

1670
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 4: Hit your family. Bro.

1671
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 18: We miss so many funerals, birthdays, all type of events,

1672
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,839
Speaker 18: like we all humans. So I just feel like sometimes

1673
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 18: you just need to take away and just take a

1674
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 18: deep breath and just be thankful for what God blessed

1675
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 18: you with the family that you're with, and just just

1676
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 18: spend some time with them. Also to get your your

1677
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 18: mind healthy happy. You know, there's there's not much sun here,

1678
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 18: so like it's just you just kind of just gotta

1679
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 18: get out and just and just chill. So that's what

1680
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 18: I usually take my voluntary stuff to do that, and

1681
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 18: then mandatory you come back, take the little month off

1682
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 18: that they give you again for July, and then once

1683
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 18: you get back, you kind of like locked and loaded

1684
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 18: on I'm here until I'm not here. So that's just

1685
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 18: what my mindset is, and I kind of went over

1686
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 18: that with the coaches, explained it to them even last

1687
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 18: year on the ex meeting, and then this year I

1688
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 18: kind of talked them to like how I was gonna

1689
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 18: do it, and like what I was gonna do to

1690
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 18: make sure I was prepared to be back.

1691
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 3: So there's Rasul Douglas kind of explaining his approach to

1692
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 3: voluntary practices, just not something he's ever really done his

1693
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 3: entire career as a professional.

1694
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 2: We are up against the break here.

1695
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:15,679
Speaker 3: We'll take a break here, try to squeeze a phone

1696
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 3: call in when we come back on One Bill's Live.

1697
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 3: Stay with us, all right, let us know what's next

1698
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 3: for Josh Allen in his seventh season in the NFL.

1699
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 2: IF had some interesting takes thus far.

1700
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 3: Let's jump back on the phone lines and we go

1701
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:44,519
Speaker 3: to Mark in West Seneca.

1702
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 2: What's up Mark?

1703
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 19: Hey, guys, real quick, I missed a little bit of

1704
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:52,719
Speaker 19: the show, so I apologize if I'm redundant. Two comments.

1705
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 19: I've got to first on Josh is the accolades and

1706
01:26:56,680 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 19: all those kind of things will take care of themselves.

1707
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 19: Josh is always going to be at the opital list

1708
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 19: of everything. I think that's a given at this point

1709
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 19: in time of his career. I'd just like to see

1710
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 19: them incorporate into the game for him, maybe two, three,

1711
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 19: four times a game, a controlled rollout with him. He

1712
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 19: is such a force and he is such a threat

1713
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 19: to run the ball if they do that. When I

1714
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 19: say control, I mean a rollout with a lineman and

1715
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 19: a tight end or at least one big person out

1716
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 19: in front of him showing a threat of a run

1717
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 19: and opening things up and behind him because they have

1718
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 19: to roll up on top of him when he gets

1719
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 19: out left or right of the pocket. So I really

1720
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 19: like to see a little bit more of that, but

1721
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 19: with a protection in front of him. And that The

1722
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:47,799
Speaker 19: other comment I had was listening to the contumer govern

1723
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 19: He definitely alleviated a lot of the nervousness for me

1724
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:54,839
Speaker 19: and hopefully a lot of fans about him moving to center,

1725
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 19: hearing about his confidence, how he talked, and how much

1726
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 19: he's actually played at center. So that was really really

1727
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:02,000
Speaker 19: nice to hear.

1728
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 7: Gold Built.

1729
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, Mark that and that that was something

1730
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: we noticed as well. We didn't know how much or

1731
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 1: how comfortable he was going to be. He seemed to

1732
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: relish it and you know, wanted to get back there.

1733
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: So that's a plus. And I think perhaps the coaching staff,

1734
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 1: when they were considering what they were going to do

1735
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 1: with Mitch Morris, kind of reached out to him. He said, no,

1736
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 1: I'd love to do it. I love playing there, and

1737
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 1: it was I'm with you. I was pleasantly surprised by

1738
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: what Connor McGovern had to say about his move back

1739
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: to center. He seemed to put his arms right around

1740
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 1: it and really being enjoying it. And I like where

1741
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 1: your head's at. I do like the fact that you know,

1742
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: move Josh, move the pocket out, roll Josh out with

1743
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: some protection in front of him. I like that, particularly

1744
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 1: given the fact that even though he rolls out maybe

1745
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 1: to his right, he can still throw deep left. You

1746
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I mean the whole field is

1747
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:55,800
Speaker 1: still there. Most guys, like, if two of rolls out right,

1748
01:28:57,080 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 1: you ain't worried about the left corner. Josh makes you

1749
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 1: worry about the left corner when he's in the right

1750
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 1: corner right, so the defense is still going to be

1751
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 1: spread thinner. It puts him under some pressure because you

1752
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 1: know most of them, no, particularly with the guy in

1753
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 1: front of him. If he turns it up the field,

1754
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a first down unless it's third and long.

1755
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 1: It's going to be an automatic first down if he

1756
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:22,599
Speaker 1: gets outside on the edge with a protector. So it's

1757
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 1: I like that strategy, you know, four times a game.

1758
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,839
Speaker 1: You know, don't set yourself a number, but if it's there, take.

1759
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:32,120
Speaker 3: It tom We're sorry, we don't have time for your

1760
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:34,679
Speaker 3: phone call. I know you were talking about perhaps wanting

1761
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 3: to see Alan spread the ball around more. I think

1762
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 3: you will see that just by virtue of the fact

1763
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 3: this season that you don't have an alpha dog in

1764
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 3: the receiving corps per se with Digs no longer here,

1765
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 3: so with that in mind, he almost has to spread

1766
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 3: it around more. So sorry, we could take your phone call,

1767
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 3: but feel free to call us tomorrow. Last day a

1768
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 3: mini camp. We'll see you won.

1769
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 14: It is very
