1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: player for you, state, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: in the strated here of normalcy, all right, Welcome to

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: a Tuesday edition of One Bills Live, where we begin

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: with breaking news. It has just been announced on Twitter

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: by the Bills pr department. Ken Dorsey has been named

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator. So Ken Dorsey promoted to

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator's position after a couple of external candidates

10
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: were interviewed for the job. By league rule, teams need

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: to interview at least one external candidate that is a minority.

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: The Bills reportedly fulfilled that with the reports of Edgar Bennett,

13
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Raiders receivers coach getting an interview here, as well as

14
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: te Martin Baltimore receivers coach getting interviewed for the OC job.

15
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: But in the end it goes to Ken Dorsey and

16
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 1: we'll have full coverage of that on Buffalo bills dot com.

17
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: So the story is there all ready, so you can

18
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: check that out there and Steve your initial thoughts at first, Blush,

19
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: I like that it keeps things together. I mean Dorsey

20
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: has been known as a sharp guy. You need a

21
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: the guy's got to be a real smart, intelligent coach.

22
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: You gotta get out in front of what the defense

23
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: is gonna do. You gotta put things in place. You

24
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: got to communicate to your guys. You gotta get them

25
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: to go out there. And I've said this as well

26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: some of these guys, it's I like it that Dorsey

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: was a player. You get professional coaches and some head coaches.

28
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: I've seen this, and some play callers. You they're they're smart.

29
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: They got a ton of stuff at their at their fingertips.

30
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: They got this whole thing out there. They can think

31
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: about an offense and put it in place to beat

32
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: any defense. Anything the defense gives you. The problem is this,

33
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: they don't translate it and get their players on the

34
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: field to do it. That's an offensive coordinator's thing. You

35
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: can have all the answers to every defense with x's

36
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: nose if you draw it on paper, But can you

37
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: get men to go out and bust a gut and

38
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: get it done? Do they know what they're doing? Can

39
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: they see your vision? Do they know what you're doing

40
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: that you're thinking? You know what's going on out there,

41
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: and you've got a ton of coaches out there that

42
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: can x's and nose things up. But I like the

43
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: fact that Dorsey seems to be one of those guys.

44
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: And as a former player, who's gonna know, you gotta

45
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: get your guys to do it. You know, you gotta

46
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: this got you can you can have an answer when

47
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: you talk about it, But do you have an answer

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: two seconds before the snap that everybody can execute right?

49
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: And we'll see. But that's he's a smart guy. He's

50
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: got experience in this offense with Josh, It'll be a

51
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: smooth transition, smoother transition with job for Josh, Diggs and

52
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: Davis and the offensive line and all those guys. And

53
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: they can keep on keeping on. And he's watched Brian

54
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Daboll call plays for a handful of years. It's gonna

55
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: there's no reason to think they can't at least continue

56
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: with what they've been doing right. Josh Allen addressed the

57
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: media last week on locker clean out day and was

58
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: asked specifically about Dorsey, and he said the following quote.

59
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I think when he got here three years ago, my

60
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: career definitely changed in terms of how I viewed the game.

61
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 1: Of football. Just having a guy in the quarterback room

62
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: that played the game was the winning his college quarterback

63
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: of all time. He was thirty eight and two. He'll

64
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: never let me forget that. He says it all the time,

65
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: but just the way he approaches the game. He's competitive,

66
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: he's smart, he works as you know what. Off I

67
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: appreciate what he's done for me over the course of

68
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: my career so far. So most of us took that

69
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: as an endorsement of Ken Dorsey as an offensive coordinator

70
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: candidate in the event that Brian Dable was hired elsewhere,

71
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: which he has now the head coach of the New

72
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: York Giants. Important that the Bills keep this guy in

73
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: the fold promote him to offensive coordinator. We should note

74
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: he has never been an offensive coordinator before. He has

75
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: been a quarterbacks coach in Carolina worked with Cam Newton,

76
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: actually was coaching him during his MVP and Offensive Player

77
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: of the Year season in twenty fifteen when the Panthers

78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: won the NFC title, So he was instrumental in the

79
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: second stage of Cam Newton's development, lifting him to the

80
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: heights of MVP status. But he has never been a coordinator,

81
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: so calling plays at the NFL level will be a

82
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: first for him by no means do I think that's

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: going to be a heavy lift for him, though, Steve,

84
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: because you know, this is a guy who was an

85
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: NFL player, an NFL quarterback because of what he had

86
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: between the ears, tall player, long body, but was not

87
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: blessed with tremendous physical traits. If you're old enough to

88
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: remember him as a player, guy is a guy. The

89
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: guy's elite traits were between his ears, and I think

90
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: that will serve him better as an offensive coordinator than

91
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: it even did as a player. I think it'll serve

92
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: him better as a play caller than it will as

93
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: a player. I think it's a great asset to have,

94
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be interested to see if he

95
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: chooses to stay on the sidelines or go upstairs during games. Yeah,

96
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: it's interesting to execute the duties of his job now

97
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: as the offensive play call because I don't know that

98
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: he's always been on the field. When day Ball was

99
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: upstairs door, he was on the field, and you know,

100
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: he was the guy that Josh could look in the

101
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: eye and they would have a conversation that it's very

102
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: different to be up in the field and most of

103
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: these coaches feel comfortable up high because they watch film

104
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: and it's how they watch the game and study it,

105
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: so they see it the same way on game day

106
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: so that they can communicate it. And Dorsey for the

107
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: first time may and I don't know that it would

108
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: be the first time ever that he's upstairs. Most of

109
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: these young coaches start upstairs before they go down to

110
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: the field and then if they get to the coordinate,

111
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: they go back upstairs, that kind of thing. So it'll

112
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how he does that. Um, you know,

113
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: calling plays, and we've said it is an art form.

114
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that he's a former play former

115
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 1: player is going to be calling plays for the first time.

116
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's it's one of the things that's

117
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: I think by looking at coaches in the way they behave,

118
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: it's got to be one of the most intoxicating things

119
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: in pro sports calling NFL plays for a guy like

120
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, right right, I mean that's how to be

121
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: People stand in line for that. Yeah. And the advantage

122
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: for the Bills in having Dorsey filled this post is

123
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: pretty obvious. I mean, he's been here the last three years,

124
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: he's been in those meeting rooms when the discussions have

125
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: taken place between him, Brian Dable, Josh, what Josh likes

126
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: to likes called for him at the beginning of games,

127
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: what he prefers, what he doesn't like, how he likes

128
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: to approach this specific type of coverage if they're expecting

129
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: that with their future opponent. So I just think the

130
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: whole process of putting together a game plan for this

131
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: quarterback will be virtually seamless. Now what will be different

132
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: is Dorsey is going to have to know how to

133
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: adjust in game. He's seen Brian Dable do that with

134
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: great success. Hopefully some of that rubs off because as

135
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: we said, this is his first time calling place. He

136
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: has been since twenty twenty, you know, not the last

137
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: two seasons he has been had the designation of passing

138
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: game coordinates correct. So there is that, and absolutely there

139
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: are He has been privy to the highest level of

140
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: what day Ball has been doing. And these day Ball

141
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: and Dorsey and Josh and day Ball and Dorsey and

142
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: Chad Hall, these guys are all in the room like

143
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: on a Friday after they're going in and they're they're

144
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: watching film and they're and they're bouncing ideas off each other.

145
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: That's what they do in meetings and game planning and

146
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: things like that. So he has been around the league

147
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: absolutely long enough to be ready for this. Yeah, but

148
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: it is a step up. So with that in mind,

149
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: we ask you at eight oh three, five fifty, what's

150
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: job number one for New Bill's offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.

151
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: What would you put at the top of his priority

152
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: list as he steps into this role going forward? Obviously

153
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: he knows he has allen. There could be some changes

154
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball based on contracts

155
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: that are up, maybe decisions that they feel they need

156
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: to make, what they might need to add. And there's

157
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: also this, Steve, you now have a vacancy at the

158
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coaching position, so it'll be interesting to see what

159
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: they decide to do there. I would be of the

160
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: opinion that they would be looking for a veteran coach

161
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: to help Ken Dorsey as he as he moves into

162
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: this offensive coordinator role, knowing he has never held that

163
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: kind of a post at any level of football before. Somebody,

164
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: you know, some veteran kind of coach that's been there,

165
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: done that, that kind of thing. Yeah, the team as

166
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: is not usually not always the case. They've already got

167
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey in on the website. On the team coaches,

168
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: it's Sean McDermott, Ken Dorsey offensive coordinator, Heath Leslie Fraser.

169
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's already right there on the depth chart.

170
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: Now if you go in, it's Rob Boris on the

171
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: offensive staff. Guys, you got guys all the way down

172
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: the line. Bobby Johnson is now a New York Giant.

173
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: It looks he looks like he's gonna be the New

174
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: York Giants offensive line coach. Perhaps Chad Hall is on

175
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: the offensive side of it. Uh, Kelly Skipper is on

176
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: this staff as a running backs coach. So you've got

177
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, you've got Shay Tierney is the assistant quarterbacks coach. Um.

178
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: So you can go down the list and maybe they will.

179
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: And it depends on how the guys, these guys have

180
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: done their job at the lower levels as to whether

181
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: a guy like you know, Shay Tierney gets kicked up.

182
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: Shay Tierney came here with Brian Dabel from Alabama. Wouldn't

183
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: surprise me if he winds up in New York too,

184
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: he might well, he might end up as the full

185
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coaching in New York as well, but maybe maybe not,

186
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: maybe not, maybe maybe not. Um. Like I said, there's

187
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: a lot unlike decades past or years past, there is

188
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: a lot of things that are very attractive. Two coaches

189
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. One is the guy pulling the trigger,

190
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Two is a chance to step in and

191
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: be a part of that. Three the facilities here that

192
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: the culture here, the the aura about what's going forward,

193
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: and the and the feedback players who have left here

194
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: have given around the league word of mouth that they

195
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: love playing here. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

196
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: But I know this too. Sean mcdermots said that they

197
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: like getting some payoff into the investment they've put into

198
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: not only young players on this roster who they've developed,

199
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: but also the coaches they've developed. They would love to

200
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: have guys like Ken Dorsey move up to into that

201
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: because they're the guys who've invested in him, and he

202
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: invested in the team. They want that relationship to continue

203
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: and to grow here. They want to get the benefit

204
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: of it. They want to send Ken Dorsey over to

205
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: the NFC and let Daniel Jones go to the Pro

206
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Bowl because Ken Dorsey's offensive coordinator. They want to get

207
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: that benefit here. Coach McDermott, when I remember when he

208
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: was assembling his staff first time around, he said what

209
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: he needs in coaches are teachers and people that bring

210
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: energy to the job every single day because you know,

211
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: having been a player yourself, Steve, there's some weeks where

212
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: your body's hanging. You just don't have it, you don't

213
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: have the will to bring it with your full measure

214
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: of intensity in week fourteen when you feel like you

215
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: got hit by a truck, and that's when you need

216
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: your coaches to kind of push you a little bit

217
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: or get you moving, or inspire you or you know,

218
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: maybe it's crack a joke just to kind of lighten

219
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: the mood or the haze that your body might be in.

220
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: You need energy, and more often than not, coach McDermott

221
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: has kind of gone for younger, more energetic players. There

222
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: are exceptions, you know, Leslie Frazier, Rob Boris, Bob bad

223
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: Those are you know, more veteran coaches. But he's got

224
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: some young energetic guys on this staff as well, and

225
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: I think he's looking for that healthy mix here. So

226
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: that's why it's going to be interesting to see which

227
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: direction he chooses to go at quarterback. The whole offensive

228
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: side of the staff is in the spotlight. You know,

229
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: you got like Ryan Wendell, who was a former offensive lineman,

230
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: who's the assistant, was the has been the assistant to

231
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: Bobby Johnson on the offensive line, you know, and Chad

232
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Hall as I mentioned. You got these guys that are

233
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: and you know, if it's the opportunity for them to

234
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: go up one at least one rung higher, does does

235
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Windell go to the head offensive line coach a

236
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: full assistant. I don't know. I don't know the guy

237
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: that well, but but certainly these guys are in the mix,

238
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: and they're under most of them probably under contract. It'll

239
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: be interesting, um in this continuity of what's going to

240
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: happen to this offense under Ken Dorsey with h Allen

241
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: and the two of them in their relationship going forward,

242
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: and whoever ends up being the backup quarterback, all of

243
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: that stuff. You know, you've got considerations of there's still

244
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: gonna be some upheaval on that side of the ball

245
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: because you've got the quarterbacks coach is a key cog

246
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: in that the quarterbacks coach is as important as the

247
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. And it's almost like those quarterback coaches a

248
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: lot of times are like Ken Dorsey or like Derek Anderson.

249
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: Those kind of guys are you know, those former like

250
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: the Josh McCown who's getting a second interview with Houston.

251
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: You know, they are these old veteran guys like like

252
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Those guys are like quarterback coaches because they've

253
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: got things they do for the quarterback, the starter to

254
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: get him ready, to keep him ready, and to give

255
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: him a voice, an ear, an arm around the shoulder,

256
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: or a sounding board to vent you know as a

257
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: steam valve. All of that stuff's important because the you know,

258
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: the sass a roller coaster and all those roles need

259
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: to be filled now by are going to be filled

260
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: by different people looking at depending on how they shuffle

261
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: this offensive side of the STEP's really interesting to see

262
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: how this will work out because I know, you know,

263
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: we know McDermott and they want to they want to

264
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: do it in house. They want to grow their own,

265
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: cultivate their own, and benefit from their own. What's job

266
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: number one for New Bill's offensive coordinator, Ken Dorsey just

267
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: named to the post at the top of the hour

268
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: by the team as he was promoted from within. We

269
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: go to the phones at eight oh three oh five

270
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty the

271
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: number to get on board as we begin with Mac

272
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: in Rochester. What do you have first? Mac? Yeah, it

273
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: was so guys, I'm just so happy to hear to

274
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: day promoted Ken Dorsey. I'm loving that call. From the beginning,

275
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: I thought that he was the perfect candidate. I love

276
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: that Josh knows it. It's going to be a great system.

277
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: What do you guys think about it? Yeah, I mean,

278
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a very healthy move for them to

279
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: maintain some continuity on that side of the ball. You

280
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: keep the system intact. I'm sure that you know, Ken

281
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: Dorsey will probably put his own stamp on it, make

282
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: his own tweaks. Offenses are morphing and changing all the time,

283
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: but I think the bread and butter plays and the

284
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: vast majority of the scheme will remain intact. It's one

285
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: that Dorsey now knows intimately, having been a part of

286
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: it for the better part of three years. So to me,

287
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: nobody calls games the same There are no two play

288
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: callers that would call a game the same way. There's

289
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: too many variables in play, too many personal preferences in play.

290
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: So I would anticipate that it will look different in

291
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: terms of some choices and decisions that are made on

292
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: a week to week basis, because he's a different person.

293
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: But I think in the grand scheme of things, a

294
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: lot of it will look the same in terms of

295
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: the plays that they turn to to try to make

296
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: their make their production, you know, to produce in this offense,

297
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, the overrun In joke, I'm totally joking when

298
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: I say this, but I wonder how many weeks it'll

299
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: be before somebody's home for Ken Dorsey and Sans was

300
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: a huge mistake. Oh my god, it'll be I'm thinking

301
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: one point five preseason games before somebody's saying, I don't know,

302
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: that's what will happen. You know, that's what's gonna happen.

303
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, as soon as they have a poor showing,

304
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, his head's on the block. That was what

305
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: it was for Brian Dable, you and I I mean,

306
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: Brian Dable puts up that twenty twenty season, and ten

307
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: days into twenty twenty one, people are calling for his

308
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: head because they got beat by the Steelers. The crazy

309
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: thing for me is in the AFC East, the only

310
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: team that's going to have the same offensive coordinator from

311
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: a year ago or the New York Jets. The stability

312
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: of how often does that happen, The stability of the

313
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins have a new coaching staff to put together. That's

314
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna be the third offensive coordinator and third offensive system

315
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: for Tua in three years. And Mac Jones the system

316
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: will remain the same, but he'll have a new offensive

317
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: coordinator up there in New England. And Bill Belichick does

318
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: not change the system when he changed as a coordinator,

319
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: so we'll see where that goes. Back to the phones, though,

320
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: and to Patrick in Buffalo, what do you have for

321
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: as Patrick here on One Bill's Live. Thanks for taking

322
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: my fans. I'm also very pleased to see kind Darcy

323
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: stepping up his officsive coordinator. That kind of leaves me

324
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: to my next question. I'd love your guy's opinion. I

325
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: was super pleased and excited to see Devin Singletary's progression

326
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: on the second half of the season. I've always been

327
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: a big fan and I agree with you guys, or

328
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: at least even in the off season, about keeping him

329
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: around and the running backs he had him plaints as

330
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: opposed to drafting one. I trusted our coaches in regards

331
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: to thinking that they are capable enough to handle the

332
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: job themselves. I would love to see Singletary is the the

333
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: starting back next season. If you guys are betting men,

334
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: would you expect him to be there? And would you

335
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: like to see him there as well? I wouldn't guarantee it, Patrick,

336
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: because this front office and this personnel department, along with

337
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, is always looking to make improvements. I

338
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: think in the grand scheme of things, there was a

339
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: reason why they added Matt Breta. They recognized the need

340
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: to add some juice to the offense in the backfield.

341
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: A faster player, someone who could get to the edge quicker,

342
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: someone who could make somebody miss out in space, that

343
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: had receiving ability. The problem was, Matt Brita had a

344
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: history of ball security issues, and when that surfaced in

345
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: the first game against the Patriots and the wind swept game,

346
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: he was benched never saw the field again, and so

347
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: while they had a juice player to line up in

348
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: the backfield, they didn't trust him enough with ball security

349
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: to put him on the field and as you saw

350
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: towards the end of the season, it was Isaiah McKenzie

351
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: who was serving as the speed player, the juice player,

352
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: if you will, to use out of the backfield. I

353
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: think that's something they are going to add in. What

354
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: size of investment will that be in terms of free

355
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: agent investment money or will it just be another draft choice.

356
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: That's for us to find out. There's no way for

357
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: us to know, but I would anticipate Brita is not

358
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: back next year. He is a free agent after being

359
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: benched in the last half of the season, last third

360
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: of the season, quarter of the season, and I would

361
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: anticipate they ad a player with speed to the running

362
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: back core. Is that enough? Is that player going to

363
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: be of enough stature to unseat Devin Singletary. We're just

364
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: gonna have to wait and see on that. That's too

365
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: far in the future for me to tell. I don't

366
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: have a crystal ball. Certainly, Devin Singletary raised his level

367
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: of respect within Bill's fan base and probably within the

368
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff as well. Now they see him every day

369
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna you know, they just don't give

370
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: that away. They got to know. They know more about

371
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: him than we do. It's certainly even a cursory glance

372
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: at what he did in the last month and a

373
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: half of the season changed things. I think changed the

374
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: narrative for him going forward and certainly changed it for

375
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: going into this offseason. He changed his body and put

376
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: in an extra he'd put in a professional offseason, maybe

377
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: for the first time in his career, and it showed

378
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: late in the season when he got better as the

379
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: when at the point where the stakes got higher, and

380
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, there's no doubt they come

381
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: back and Devin Singletary is gonna be on this team

382
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: and somebody's gonna have to outplay him significantly to get

383
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: in front of him. Right at this point where that

384
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: comes from. Now, they're gonna they're gonna do what they do.

385
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna try and get better. They're gonna try and

386
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: get somebody better than Devin Singletary. But good luck. I mean,

387
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: that's it's hard to do. I mean, they're not hard

388
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: to find though, elite physical trait backs they're out there.

389
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Hell, the Chiefs put Jerk McKinnon in at

390
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Fly Edwards, a layer, came

391
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: back from injury and found a seat on the bench.

392
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: Why Because Jared McKinnon's got juice. He's two hundred and

393
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: sixteen pounds and runs a four to four. Andy Reid said,

394
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: we're keeping that guy in. And think about this. For instance,

395
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: you got a team like like the New Orleans Saints.

396
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: They're seventy five million dollars over the cap coming up,

397
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: and so what if the Bills were to go out

398
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: and say, listen, we'll give you. We'll give you who

399
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: you name it. We'll give you a name and a

400
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: draft pick, and you give us Alvin Kamara and we'll

401
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: take him off your books, and we'll give you a

402
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: couple of cheap players. Well, I'll give you like a

403
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: Devin singletary. They might just want draft picks, right, or

404
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: they might want to whatever. So you could take that

405
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: tack if you're the Buffalo Bills, because there are some

406
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: teams out there and there are opportunities out there in

407
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: the marketplace where you can go and get it. Guy's like, wow,

408
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: you can get him. I mean, what are you gonna do?

409
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, would you like to take Sequon Barkley off

410
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: the Giants payroll? Brian Dabo might say, you know what,

411
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: I don't really need a running back like that, if

412
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: I got a guy, yeah, and giving them the money

413
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: and the guy and take their draft picks. We got.

414
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: The Bills have nine draft picks coming up in this draft,

415
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: so I got an extra. Say, they've got some spot,

416
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: they've got some slack they can play with. But that's

417
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. The point being, there are guys out

418
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: there who they're gonna go after, and they're gonna bring

419
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: in some competition at the running back position. They're gonna

420
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: bring competition in every single position. So while Devin Singletary

421
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: upped his status as a Buffalo Bill in every way,

422
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: shape and form you can, that's not a free pass

423
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: going into twenty twenty two. Let's go back to the phones.

424
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: We go to Ben and Amherst. Next, Ben, what do

425
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're all one Bills live. Yeah,

426
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering what you would think about pulling in

427
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: a fullback like that's flum position that we haven't really

428
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: rolled out and you don't see it very often, but

429
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: it's different. I'm not sure what you think. So yeah,

430
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean they have Reggie Gilliam who's pretty much the

431
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: de facto fullback on this roster. I think they're pretty

432
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: happy with what he offers them because there is some

433
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: position versatility there, having played tight end in college at Toledo,

434
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: so I think they like what he offers them. Plus

435
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: he can play on special teams. I don't think they'd

436
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: be looking to upgrade to any degree because, as you mentioned,

437
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: they don't utilize the fullbacks all that often, and so

438
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: for a kid on a rookie contract who's versatile and

439
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: can play on special teams, Reggie Gilliams kind of what

440
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: you're looking for. Yeah, it's a philosophical question really. I mean,

441
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: if you got a fullback on the on the field,

442
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: you're not going to hand it to him. But what

443
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: wants a game, not even probably a half of avery

444
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: short yard is you'll average like one every three games.

445
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: So carry other than that, he's blocking unless you're the

446
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: forty nine ers or maybe Ravens, you know, but one

447
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: of those things. So if you're the forty nine Ers,

448
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: every time you run the ball, it's a time that

449
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: the ball is out of Josh Allen's hands, and it

450
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: changes your identity. Now, if you can run the ball

451
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: like the Niners and just use Josh when you need them, Yeah,

452
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: that's a recipe for success. Picture Josh Allen the forty

453
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: nine ers. It'd be it'd be a juggernaut. I mean,

454
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: you'd be they would beat you up and then carve

455
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: you up. So, but I think that's a fullback is

456
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of a philosophical question. I don't I

457
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: don't know that I won that's dying in this. Yeah,

458
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: I think it's there's a reason and the guy. The

459
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: teams that are successful with them are a successful in

460
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: some measure because teams don't see it very often and

461
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: aren't as used to playing against a fullback or a

462
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: wingback or an h back, whatever you want to call

463
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: whatever designation you want to put on it. So I'm no,

464
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: I think any move that takes you away from being

465
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: a three wide set is down the wrong road. Going forward,

466
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: back to the phones, it's it's Tom and Buffalo Nex.

467
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: Do you have first time Marna guys a Chris. Yeah.

468
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: I want to say I love Matt Brita, but he's

469
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: got a medical condition called fumble whitis. Yeah, I was

470
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: just talking about it. That's why he found a spot

471
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: on the bench at the end of the year. Yeah. Okay,

472
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: So you're asking about kenn Dorrisey's new job and his

473
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: number one priority. Yeah, yeah, what do you have for us?

474
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna be drawn up the exos and ohs all

475
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: the plays, giving them names, because Steve will tell you

476
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: got to change the verbiage up every year on the plays.

477
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: Otherwise people happen to knowing what you're doing. Yeah, I mean,

478
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: you don't have to change him in the huddle. What

479
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: you do have to change when Josh gets out of

480
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: the quarter, out of the huddle and starts talking about

481
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: the defense. Um, you might have to change some of

482
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: that stuff up, but your words don't have to change

483
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: in the playbook or in the in the in the

484
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: you know, in the play calls or anything like that.

485
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody's gonna find those out. And that's you know,

486
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: that's so Yeah, I get what you're saying. You'll they'll

487
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: change some things up, no question, but it'll evolve more

488
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: than it will change, and it'll continue to change, you know,

489
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: it'll grow. And so yeah, yeah, Brian Day bole Leaven

490
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're gonna have to completely revamp their verbiage

491
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: because somebody's gonna know what they're doing. That's the verbiage

492
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: is Yeah, no, kind of is what it is. It

493
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 1: is what it is. If if anybody knew your verbiage,

494
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: they would figure it out. They would know it now.

495
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: They could they do it now because it's not that

496
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: difficult to do. If they knew what your verbiage was,

497
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: even without knowing the plays, they could. Yeah, they could

498
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: deduce what you're doing offensively. So yeah, thanks for the

499
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: call time. When you moved to Bob in Hamburg. Next,

500
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 1: what do you have first, Bob? Hey, guys, much respect

501
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: for both of you. A couple of questions, How do

502
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 1: you guys think that Ken Dorsey is going to react

503
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: to play calling? And how much he actually had a

504
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: hand and play calling with Brian day Bole going in

505
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: it next season? Yeah, I mean he had input. He

506
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: was the passing coordinator passing game coordinator, as we mentioned

507
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: for each of the last two seasons here, so there

508
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: was input on his part. And seeing the reports that

509
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: Dabel was interested in trying to lure him away from

510
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: the Bills to be his OC at least that's what

511
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: reports indicated, I think speaks highly of the capabilities and

512
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: the qualifications of Dorsey to handle the job. So, I mean,

513
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: when you're starting somewhere from the ground up, and you

514
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: want that guy to be your OC having never been

515
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: a play caller before. That's that's an endorsement for me,

516
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: meaning both Sean McDermott and Brian dab will believe he's

517
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: capable of handling that role in calling plays for this offense.

518
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty encouraged by it. Quite frankly, that's the

519
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: endorsement of two people on this coaching staff to do

520
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: a job he's never done before at this level or

521
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: any level. For that man, it's a little bit like

522
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: it's an unknown though I'm not a foodie, but it's

523
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: a little bit like you're a foodie, you just don't

524
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: know it. It's like being a sioux chef in a

525
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: restaurant and being it for like ten years and watching

526
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: the best guy in the world do it. You get

527
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 1: some of that stuff by us Moses. You sit there

528
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: and watch him and not only and this is the

529
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: way these coaching staffs work too. Not only do you

530
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: watch what he's doing and how he does it, but

531
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: you watch him explain to the quarterback why he called

532
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: that play. When you go through the film, everything is

533
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: dissected at the NFL. When when the quarterback when the

534
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators running through the film with the quarterbacks or

535
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: the offense, and he says, here, guys, and they watched

536
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: the game film from the day before, and he's saying,

537
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: we call this because of the A, B and C

538
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: and D. See that this is why this is gonna

539
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: work right here, and you see we missed this right here.

540
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: We need to do this, and da da da dah.

541
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: And all of those conversations are on top of the

542
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: fact that Ken Dorsey and Josh Howner are in there

543
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: before the game and they're saying, when we get into

544
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: this situation, we're gonna call this because we hope they

545
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: do this and do it. So all those you get

546
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: a full PhD dissertation every week in what this offense

547
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: should be and what they're gonna try and make it do.

548
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: And so you know, Dorsey's been neck deep, eyeball deep

549
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: in this offense like that for three or four years.

550
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's ready for this, and we don't know

551
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: what it's gonna look like. And there's every who knows

552
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: how it's gonna turn out. Best case scenario. The guy's

553
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: a genius and he absolutely hits a grant and it's

554
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: like wow, or it's like uh, you know whatever. My

555
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: guests is probably gonna be somewhere in the middle of that. Yeah,

556
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: we have to take a break here, but more of

557
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: your phone calls when we return. What's job number one

558
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: for Bill's new offensive coordinator? Ken Dorsey just promoted officially

559
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: to the post at the top of the hour as

560
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: we came on the air. We want your thoughts next

561
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live presented Body Colloid to Health.

562
00:30:47,480 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back to One

563
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we

564
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: are discussing the latest news concerning the Bills coaching staff.

565
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: Just came down as we went on the air today,

566
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey promoted to offensive coordinator from his previous role

567
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: as quarterbacks coach. So the Bills now have a vacancy there.

568
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: They have to fill the quarterback coaching role. And you know,

569
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: the team is down at the Senior Bowl, so that's

570
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: where a lot of that coaching staff recruiting happens. So

571
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: we'll see what comes of it as the week moves along.

572
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: But question to you is what is job number one

573
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: in your mind for new Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey

574
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty the number to get

575
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: on board, or you can hit us up on the

576
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet at one Bills Live. But we go back

577
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: to the phones and leading us off here is less

578
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: in Pendleton. What do you have for us less? A

579
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 1: little bit off topic, My bunnies and I have been

580
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: kicking around a different idea for over time, okay, and

581
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: all of the overtime suggestions treat overtime like it's a

582
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: separate game. The game is over, you've tied that last game,

583
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: and we're starting a new game, new coin toss, and

584
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: our idea kind of makes it a continuation of the

585
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: existing game, whereas you treat it like the end of

586
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: a quarter. It's sudden death. If you've got the ball,

587
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: you've got it, you know, if you've kicked the ball

588
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: and it's a field goal, and regulation ends. When overtime starts,

589
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: that team kicks the ball off, they switch ends, and

590
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: it's a continuation of the same game. And to me

591
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: that you know, it's it's so hard that it's a

592
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: second game. That the Bills tied the first game and

593
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: they've never got a chance. They just lost the second short,

594
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: little different game with different rules, And to me, if

595
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: you think about it for a while, and I know,

596
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: nothing's going to change, but it's just an idea that

597
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: we've been We couldn't kind of come up with any

598
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: idea that would be a downside to just making it

599
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: end of the quarter, switch half, switch field positions, and

600
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: continue with the same game. What are your thoughts and

601
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: what happens and how does the game end? Then it's

602
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: sudden death, it's a continue, okay, So what here that

603
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: I'll say? One problem with the would be this less

604
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: if the game is tied, we've got Josh Allen and

605
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: there's a minute and two left on the game. In

606
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: the game, we've got the ball. What happens when they

607
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: when it's second and six from their own forty six

608
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: and the game ends. It's the same as if it's

609
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: the end of the first quarter, all right, So then

610
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: it's so it's second and six from the forty six,

611
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: the Bills go down have the ball, and they're real

612
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: down close or what if they're you know, just outside

613
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: a field goal range second and six, they just let

614
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: they don't care if the game ends, then they still

615
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: get the ball and they just keep going and then

616
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: they kick the field goal and win, right, Yeah, because

617
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: it does to me. The only the plus side is

618
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: you have to think of that strategy all along as

619
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: the game is continuing on, because you're not going to

620
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: get a new game starting, You're going to continue with

621
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: the same game, right, So there's no urgency to do

622
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: anything at the end of regulation if you're tied, right,

623
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as you know you're going to

624
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: hold onto the ball. I didn't just take a needle

625
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: because you're going to be at your own ten yard line.

626
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: You got to be attempting to continue moving the game forward. Yeah,

627
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: there are the situations though, where you're going to just

628
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, methodically move the ball. There's no pressure to

629
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: use you know, there's no strategy in using timeouts any

630
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: of that stuff, because if, as Steve suggests, your second

631
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: and six and plus territory at the forty six yard

632
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: line of your opponent and time's running out, you're not

633
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: in a panic, you're not burning timeouts, You're just continuing

634
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: on because you're like, we got the ball, Who cares

635
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: if the clock runs out? I think I think that

636
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: flies too much in the face of changing the play

637
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: in regulation to kind of work out. So I don't

638
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: know if that would have some post some end of

639
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: game scenarios where you don't want to kick the ball

640
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: before time is out to win the game, because if

641
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: you kick it to tie or kick if you kick

642
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: to tie to win the game with no time on

643
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: the clock, you're kicking off in overtime. Well, no, there's

644
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: no kickoff in overtime under his rules. You're just continuing

645
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: the game. That's just kick. Though you kicked it. You

646
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal at the end of the quarter.

647
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: You kicked the field goal at the end of the

648
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: quarter into the ten. So the next play is you

649
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: kicking off and time is and it's it's overtime. Yeah.

650
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 1: I just think if I got the ball, like you said,

651
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: second and six, the other team's forty six yard line

652
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: times running out and it's a tie game, I'm taking

653
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: my sweet time moving down the field if I have

654
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: confidence that I mean, you know what I mean, I'm

655
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: moving the ball. Why do I have to burn time

656
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: outs and worry about kicking a field goal here? Unless

657
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to play anymore because I know my

658
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: defense guests. That's the only other reason I might have

659
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: an urgency to finish the game. Now, I don't know.

660
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: It's like everything else, it's it makes about as much

661
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: sense of such at any time. I mean, yeah, I

662
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: mean I don't know why they Yeah, the coin flip,

663
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: I get it, and it's do away with it and

664
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: just keep going on the game. Somebody will, I mean,

665
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: I know you want to just continue the game as is,

666
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: believing that it's fair. But what happens if you're still

667
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: tied after that overtime? What are you doing? It would

668
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: have made a difference in the Chiefs Bills game because

669
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs score the field goal sudden death. I'm sorry, Yeah,

670
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: it's field goal. It's a field goal at the end

671
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: of regulation. Um, that tied it up. They kick off

672
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: to the Bills. Bills get it in overtime, right, But

673
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: there's no coin flip, so you can't lose that. So

674
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: if you're the team that has to tie it up

675
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: at the end, you're automatically kicking off and the other

676
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: team's got it for overtime. Yeah, it's I don't know

677
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: if there's any perfect answer. Let's go back to the phones, though,

678
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: and we go to Rick in Nashville next. What you

679
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: got first? Rick, got two things that Victor it's taken

680
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: over actually three real quick step back and just enjoy

681
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: what he's built here. All of a sudden we become

682
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: kind of self righteous or entitled to I don't know what,

683
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: but it wasn't long ago where we were horrible every year,

684
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: so it's kind of step back and appreciate what he's built.

685
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: But I would like to see the offensive coordinator kind

686
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: of focus on getting two guards. I mean, going back

687
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: to you know, quitn Spain and winners and then the

688
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: six guys we played there, why can't we find a

689
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: guard who was just solid? And I mean I want

690
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: more than solid. I wanted like he's a kickbut guard,

691
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, Alan Fannik that type of guy, and we

692
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 1: just cannot find him. And then on the reverse side

693
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: of that, and then I'm related to that, rather every

694
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: team that has a good defensive tackle, which seemed to

695
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: be every team we played this year, which just wreck

696
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: plays And I always thought, why did mc dermott going

697
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: into the game think'll be we'll be fine, he can

698
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: handle Hayward. Why would you even have that thought process?

699
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: And then of course Hayward and eat their lunch. And

700
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: the reverse side of that it's been you know, five

701
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: years here for McDermott, four or five years. We cannot

702
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: find somebody on the defensive line who's a pass rush

703
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: guy that when the Bills are playing there, you know

704
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: you're yet the scheme for this guy. You're looking for

705
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: this guy to make plays. As a fan, they're watching

706
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: that guy. We have nobody in the front seven where

707
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: you're like, you know, you hate the related to Bruce Smith,

708
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: but the boss of the world, for the Aaron Donalds

709
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: of the world, other guys that are around the league,

710
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: and we can't find one. How many years deep, I

711
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: don't I don't get it. Yeah, yeah right, And I'll

712
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: tell you what though, Rick not for nothing. But it's

713
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: not like they haven't tried. They got some guys with

714
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: some physical traits. I know Ed Olivers was one of

715
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: those guys. Aj Epinessa was one of those guys. Greg

716
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: Russau is one of those guys, and Boogie Bashm's one

717
00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: of those guys. They've spent four top draft picks on

718
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: defensive linemen trying to find that guy. And you can say, well,

719
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe these don't know what they're looking for, don't know

720
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: how to find one that may be but they are

721
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: really trying and they see the exact same thing you do.

722
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: They are trying to upgrade their pass rush. They want

723
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: to get pressure fast with four guys, and I get it.

724
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: You go to the analytics websites and they talk about

725
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: who's winning and whose pass rush is effective and consistent.

726
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: The Bills rank at the top of that all the time.

727
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: But man, it's frustrating to hear that and then to

728
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: see the Bills, you know, finish maybe in the top

729
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: ten of sacks, not the top team in the Sacond,

730
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: not the top one or two teams in sacks, but

731
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: maybe the top ten in sack. I mean, you want

732
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: to see a pass rush. The teams are like going, wow,

733
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: we gotta do something, and the Bills just don't have

734
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: that yet. But it is not for lack of trying.

735
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: And as far as guards listen, they I hear you.

736
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: The problem wasn't the fact that they didn't have guards

737
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: of the problem was the fact that this guard they

738
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: benched went in Spain. Now Quentin Spain's starting for the

739
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl. As we were just

740
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: reminded by our guy Kevin Carges here in the in

741
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: the control room. Quentin Spain was released from this team

742
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: because if lack of production a lack of good play.

743
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: Cody Ford was benched, John Feliciano was out with an injury,

744
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: back out with an injury, then Covid and lost his

745
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: starting lost his starting job to Ike Butker, who was

746
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: played and then got injured along with Ryan Bates, got

747
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: the job. And then of course it was Darryl Williams

748
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: and Spencer Brown in and back and forth at that

749
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: And Darryl Williams was a guard and then he was

750
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: a tackle. Then he's back to guard as Spencer Brown

751
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: went through his issues, his back issue and then a

752
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: COVID issue. So yeah, the whole offensive line was a

753
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: mess this year. And I don't mean a mess because

754
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: they couldn't play. Was a mess because he didn't know

755
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: who was going to be able to line up every

756
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: week to week. So that's one issue they had with

757
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: the guards. But you're right guard position has been something

758
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: they've been searching for and had troup finding. I think

759
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams is a great guard, He's a plus. And

760
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 1: I think the left guard, the guy opposite Daryl Williams,

761
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: is the guy they've been looking for. Yeah, they may

762
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: have found somebody in Bates. If they think they can

763
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: do better, they'll try. I think interior offensive line is

764
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: going to be something on the draft list, depending on

765
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 1: what they acquire in free agency. And defensively, yeah, they've

766
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: made heavy investment on that side of the ball. They

767
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: haven't had a game changing type player where opponents say,

768
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: we got a game plan for this guy. Ed Oliver

769
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: came awfully closed. I think, as Brandon Bean said last week,

770
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: he was their most consistent player upfront from start to

771
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: finish this season. They need somebody else to step to

772
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: the forefront as well. So it's gonna be very interesting

773
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: to see if this coaching staff in front office believes,

774
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: you know what, we're fine. We just got to let

775
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: these young guys that we drafted mature. Whether you're talking

776
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: about Epinesa Rousseau or bash him, let's just let them

777
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: mature and grow into the role. We believe guy A

778
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: can become a dominant player. If they don't think that,

779
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: knowing the window they're operating in here, they may bring

780
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: in another veteran player in free agency. We'll have to

781
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: wait and see, and who they acquire is going to

782
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: largely determine what they think of those young guys in

783
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: terms of what they believe they're capable of right now

784
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: this upcoming season, because this upcoming season is another go

785
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: for it type year for this franchise. I would anticipate

786
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: him signing a lot of guys on the offensive line well,

787
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys on the defensive line. Again,

788
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: it's not going to be high end guys. I mean, no, no, no,

789
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: It'll be not going to be spending big. It'll be

790
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: guys like John Feliciano was, Guys like Quentin Spain were

791
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: guys like you know, all these guys that you know

792
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: came in on a one year prove a deal, Guys

793
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: like on the defensive line, you know Vernon Butler and

794
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: although he was a pretty good, pretty good buck when

795
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: they signed him. But they're gonna sign a ton of

796
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: guys Starlotulele. Guys like Star don't fall off the truck

797
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: very often. He's a first round draft pick, so he's

798
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: got some traits. But they're going to sign a ton

799
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 1: of the guys that are going to come in and

800
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: try to get on this team and stay on this team.

801
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see that I would anticipate

802
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: more of what they've shown in the past of saying, listen,

803
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 1: you come in and play for a really good buck

804
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: for one year, and we'll see what you can do,

805
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: and then we'll pay you. That's how they've done it

806
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: in the past. Break time for us here when we

807
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: come back. More of your phone calls as we're talking

Speaker 1: some underserved communities in local area. On this day when

826
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: Tom Dorsey, I'm sorry, Ken Dorsey was elevated to offensive coordinator.

827
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: Of course Tom Brady retired. Did that happen finally? Although

828
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: he never used the word retirement in his eight page,

829
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: nine page here's the gram post, it appears now. West

830
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: Goldberg is reporting this that Tom is going to plant

831
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: sign a one day contract with the Patriots, the franchise

832
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: he played for twenty years with. He spoke with Robert

833
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: Kraft this morning. He's gonna fly to Massachusetts for a ceremony.

834
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 1: So he's gonna fly up to Massachusetts, Boston and retire

835
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: as a as a Patriot. Good for him. Good he

836
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: retires a member of the team we swept in the playoffs. Uh, yeah,

837
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, it makes sense. I don't have

838
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: a problem with it. I'm glad it's over it. I mean,

839
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: I respect the guy, but man, I hated that gay. Yeah,

840
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: he was easy. He is basically football's version of Michael

841
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: Jordan for me, like, yeah, I respected Michael Jordan, but man,

842
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: did I hate that dude because my team could never

843
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: win against him. So he's much the same. Let's get

844
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: back to the phones though. At eight oh three five

845
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: fifty got some people holding there as we're asking you,

846
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: what's job number one for new Bill's offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey?

847
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 1: Jay in Kentucky, what do you have for us? Jay? Hey,

848
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: Chris Um, I met you actually in Jacksonville down in

849
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Oh wow, back to Ville Buffalo game.

850
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: My uh my, my wife at the time and sisters

851
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: were hitting on Trent Edwards in the signing line, and

852
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: you and I were chatting it up in the little

853
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: restaurant in downtown in the hotel. So I'll never forget that.

854
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: We talked football for quite some times. And Steve, of course,

855
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm a fans and deserved to be in the hall. Hey, um,

856
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: retired military, watch you guys. When I was overseas, I

857
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: went to the Houston Orleards, you know, Bill's game. I

858
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: was up at three in the morning in Korea, uh

859
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: watching that damn game and and uh, you guys, you

860
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: guys kept me up all night, but uh I loved

861
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: I loved it. Never forget it. So uh talking um

862
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey's moves, Um, of course you know QB coach is.

863
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 1: I think it's the first and I hope we keep

864
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: Shay Tierney. I think he's you know, quality QB coach,

865
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: assistant QB coach, and he knows the system. Like I said,

866
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: I think he'll probably be up in the boot whoever

867
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: that is, or excuse me, down in the down of

868
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: the field and hopefully Ken be up in the boot. Um.

869
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: I think he's a quality guy, um that we need

870
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 1: to keep on step now. Um, replacing the offensive line coach.

871
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: You know, we've got a lot of options, but um,

872
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: you know he got Mike Munchak out there. Um, he's

873
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: he's uh, you know, Broncos offensive line coach. Might hit

874
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: him up, but I think really keeping uh Ryan Windell

875
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go to the Giants. Um, he's he

876
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: knows everything, Bobby knows well to the point that he's

877
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: been working with him since uh uh twenty twenty two

878
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: thousand or eight. Um, George Warhop as well. Now the

879
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: link with warhop. He's uh currently at the Jags, but

880
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: no head coach, so he's free free pickings. He worked

881
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: with Leslie Rasia down in Tampa because they got that

882
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: link there. And the reason why I say war hoop

883
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,959
Speaker 1: is because there's a couple you know, line lineman down

884
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: in Tampa. Of course, you know they're over the cap

885
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: this year, they're gonna need to cut people, and we've

886
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: got um, We've got some quality offensive lineman in Tampa.

887
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: I think Alex Kappa is one of them, great guard

888
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old, probably about eight hundred and forty

889
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: eight on a cat um. And then I think Kia's

890
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: resigning Ryan Bates quality guy, um or we call him

891
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: Rick Um quality guy, and I think um, I think

892
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: we keep them. Initial reason why I called in is

893
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: because I knew jave Ball was going to UM. I

894
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: knew dave Ball was going to the Giants when um

895
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: Antonio Williams signed with him. Loved that running back, and

896
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't know why we never really gave him a shot.

897
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: But other free agent running backs out there, justin Jackson

898
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: and Chargers. I can't hear you, sorry, Chris No. I

899
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: was just saying, like I get what you're saying you're

900
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: already looking at free agency, and I respect it, you know,

901
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the call, and I thank you for

902
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: your service. We're up against the break here, though, Jay,

903
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: so I gotta let you go. Yeah, a lot a

904
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: lot there, And I get it. He's he's he's mining

905
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: for old line coaches in the anticipation of losing Bobby Johnson.

906
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: Nothing's official yet on that. There have only been reports

907
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 1: and certainly nothing's been confirmed by either club, at least

908
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: as far as I have seen to this point. So

909
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: we'll keep our ear to the ground on that for

910
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: you and see what comes of it. But yeah, we

911
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: talked earlier about them adding the little juice at the

912
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: running back position, and they tried to do it last

913
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: year with Matt Breda. He's a free agent. Now. I

914
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: think they'll take another swing there. Right, there's no question

915
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: that here's the thing that we don't know. And I

916
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: really appreciate, you know, Jay from doing his homework. He

917
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: knew he knew his homework as much as he knows

918
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: about guys. I mean, this is a it's an atmosphere

919
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: at the NFL level. I would expect um Sean mcdermot's

920
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: list goes well beyond what Jay was even able to do.

921
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: You know, down in Tampa Bay with all their offensive line,

922
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: every staff, and let's face it, we've talked about nine

923
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: staffs were kicked and unceremoniously let go this year. So

924
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: there's a lot of coaches out there who have some

925
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: really quality resumes that are going to be available. Yeah,

926
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 1: you would think, uh, with the way things stand now,

927
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: those those coaches would love it. And believe me, when

928
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: you're out of work, you want to work, just looking

929
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: for somebody to offer you a job. There's a little

930
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: bit of that, but there's also some of these guys

931
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: that probably have some choices. I know Jim Schwartz, the

932
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: former Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator who was of late with

933
00:50:54,200 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Right, no, yes, with the Eagles with Peterson. Peterson,

934
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 1: he's being interviewed in Indianapolis. The network is big and vast,

935
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: and it will be interesting to see Sean McDermott tap

936
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: into it to see who he brings in because it's

937
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: offensive line coach is absolutely critical to your team's success.

938
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,720
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break here when we return former NFL

939
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: safety and current analysts for Serious x NFL Radio. Solomon

940

Speaker 1: Willcotts will be joining us. We'll get his thoughts on

941
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: conference championship weekend where the Bills are headed from here

942
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: in a little Super Bowl preview, Solomon Wilcot's next here

943

Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned at a Steve Tasker

944
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: who has been all over the field. Kind of unique.

945
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

946
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the straged here

947
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: of normalcy here all right, welcome to our number two

948
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: here on a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, one Bills

949
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: Live and please to be joined now by former NFL

950
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: safety current analysts for Sirius XM. NFL Radio also hosts

951
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 1: the Belief in Bengals podcast with Adam Pacman Jones. It's

952
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: Salomon Wilcotts and Salomon you know, probably better than anybody

953
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,720
Speaker 1: having played there, what this latest Super Bowl birth means

954
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Bengals. Are they going bananas in Judai Nation? Oh?

955
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? We're pinching ourselves twice, you know

956
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: when this whole thing started, and you know you're Chrissy,

957
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 1: We're one of my favorite guys I had the Bills,

958
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, being in this role, and you know, I'm

959
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 1: sorry if that stings a little bit. That's how shocking

960
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: it is, because you know, we we're big Buffalo Bills

961
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: fans around here. After what you guys did for Andy Dalton.

962
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: Right now, Andy Dalton is no longer here. We got

963
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: a new quarterback and Joe Burrow, and the whole town

964
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: is on fire behind this young quarterback. Yeah, I heard you.

965
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: I heard about this new young quarterback. We were talking

966
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: about how that Josh has played. We've been talking about

967
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: how good Josh has played in the playoffs. I mean,

968
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it, and yet Joe really

969
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: he has. It's it's not I mean, he's played very well,

970
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: no question, but it's like, man, he just everybody just

971
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 1: climbs on his back and he elevates everybody on the team.

972
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they are really really into this guy in

973
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: the roster. I mean obviously the fans, but man, oh man,

974
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 1: the team has used him as their their guy. Right.

975
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: How can you not You watch the guy gets sacked

976
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: nine times, it gets a really good Tennessee Titans defense,

977
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: and it didn't matter. I mean, he just keeps getting up.

978
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: He's protecting the ball, not just throwing it to anybody,

979
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: even though he's under pressure. You know, during the regular season,

980
00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: he was the number one rated quarterback when Blitz the

981
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 1: number one to quarterback win under pressure, had the highest

982
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: completion percentage, but yet the highest yards per pasit him,

983
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: which is hard to do when you're also the most

984
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: sock quarterback in the league. So he's an outlier. He

985
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: has the ability to rise above the circumstance. Steven, You

986
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 1: know that's hard for quarterbacks to play above the circumstances

987
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: still play well. Most quarterbacks. If the circumstances good, they're good.

988
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: If the circumstances bad, they're bad. This guy can play

989
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: good even though the circumstances are really poor. How much

990
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: has he changed the thinking of Bengals fans? I mean

991
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: Bengals fans for a long time, much like Bills fans

992
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: for a long time. We're used to being disappointed. They're

993
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: down eighteen points in the first half of that game

994
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: last week. Had had the thinking among Bengals fans already

995
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: shifted to the point where it's like, you know what,

996
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm not panicking yet. Early we got Joe, We're gonna

997
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: be all right? Or is that still very fresh and

998
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: new to feel that way for Bengals fans. I think

999
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: after last week it's kind of now we expect it,

1000
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: because if you go back to the week seventeen game

1001
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs, they were down by fourteen

1002
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: points three different times in that game and Joe Burrow

1003
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: kept bringing them back. Okay, they were down by eighteen

1004
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: points in the conference championship game. He's brought him back.

1005
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: Give Zach Taylor a lot of credit. He's been as

1006
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: good as any team in the NFL. Any coach in

1007
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: the NFL at putting together a second half game plan

1008
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: that allows them to make adjustments. That's why they're one

1009
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: of the best second half teams of any team in

1010
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. But Joe Burrow said something that was interesting.

1011
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,439
Speaker 1: You know, they beat the Chiefs week seventeen to win

1012
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: the Division crown and punch a ticket to the playoffs,

1013
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: and he was smoking a cigar, he was having a

1014
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: great time. And then after winning that first playoff game again,

1015
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: he was asking a press conference, why were you celebratory?

1016
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: Why were you're not having a good time? And he says,

1017
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, he said, when you win a division title.

1018
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: That's something that that's worth celebrating, he said, But I

1019
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: want everybody to understand this. This this is the new

1020
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 1: standard now. He said, We're gonna be doing this from

1021
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: here on out. He said it in such a matter

1022
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: of fact way that everybody kind of looked around the room, like,

1023
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: what did he just say? It was? It was words

1024
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: that you just don't you whisper like that around here.

1025
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: But he had the audacity to say it loudly and

1026
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: proclaim it in a way that it's become so believable.

1027
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 1: And in that way, guys, he has not only reshaped

1028
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: the team, the locker room, but the entire town. And

1029
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: it's interesting that you talk about him like that. We

1030
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: talk about Josh Allen kind of the same way here

1031
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, and you look at those two guys, You

1032
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: look at Pat Mahomes, you look at Justin Herbert, Deshaun Watson,

1033
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: maybe Trevor Lawrence, Lamar Jackson. I mean, there's a it's

1034
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: a it's just the AFC. It's hard to stand out,

1035
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, Derek carrs in that crew. It's hard to

1036
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: stand out in this conference. But every team, it looks like,

1037
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: needs to find a guy like as rare as they are.

1038
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: It feels like this in Buffalo, like you gotta have

1039
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: a guy like Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes, Joe Burrow to

1040
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: compete in the conference, forget about the super Bowl, and

1041
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: most of those guys you name are twenty five years

1042
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: and younger. Like that's the scary part about it. We're

1043
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: seeing some high level of play from a quarterback like

1044
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and a Joe Burrow and a Justin Herbert

1045
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: very early in their careers at a very young age.

1046
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: And I was telling someone the other day about Josh Allen.

1047
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,959
Speaker 1: You know, I've gotten to know Jordan Palmer, who's worked

1048
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: a lot with Josh and all the things that over

1049
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of years that he and I have

1050
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: had in private conversations, and I had just grown to

1051
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: love him. I watch him play, and I was telling

1052
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: guy the other day, I said, this guy is what

1053
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: every team is looking for. I said, because he's a

1054
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: bigger Lamar Jackson, except he can throw the ball. I mean,

1055
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: he can throw it as well as any quarterback we've

1056
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: ever seen. And his ball, it cuts through the wind,

1057
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: cuts through the rain. I mean he was slicing and

1058
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: dicing the last time we saw him in Kansas City.

1059
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: But the mobility that he brings to the table, this

1060
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: he's the real deal. And if I'm playing defense against

1061
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I already know I got my work cut

1062
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: out for me. And as sore as I think Bills

1063
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: fans are that their team isn't in the big game,

1064
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: I gotta believe there's a way they can come around

1065
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: to rooting for the Bengals. From this standpoint, Salomon, the

1066
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:52,439
Speaker 1: Rams come across as a bought and sold team. A team, yeah,

1067
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean they've got some a couple of homegrown guys,

1068
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Donald and whatever, but they're largely a

1069
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: bought and sold team. I mean, they traded for Jalen Ramsey,

1070
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: they traded for Von Miller, they traded for Matthew Stafford.

1071
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean they you know, Odell Beckham Junior is a

1072
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: rental guy. Uh. I just feel like the way Buffalo thinks,

1073
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: that's not the way you win it. You build you

1074
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, you grow your own, You build your own

1075
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: through the draft, and maybe you reset, you sign a

1076
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: couple of key people. But it looks like that is

1077
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: like a mercenary style team. It's a hard team to

1078
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: get behind if you're not from LA. Yeah, but you

1079
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: know what it's And I think you said something that's

1080
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: really important because if say, like you know, the Bengals,

1081
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: you know we're fortunate now. And I mean, it's funny

1082
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: saying that as a Bengals fan where the fortunate was

1083
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: right as a Bals where the thing about it we

1084
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: were able to draft our guy. We'll go back four

1085
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: years ago before you drafted that guy. What would you

1086
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: have done if you could have gotten Aaron Rodgers? What

1087
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: would you have done if you could have gotten you know,

1088
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: just go down the list, right, would you have done it?

1089
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Of course you will? Yeah? And I think if I

1090
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: think if it's you when we were going through those

1091
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: lean periods, right, I mean you signed free agent players,

1092
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: a lot of them, right, You drafted too, But it's

1093
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: it's it's the tools they give us to build a team.

1094
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: And I you know, I just have to say this,

1095
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm I look at what Sean McVay and what Lesnie did.

1096
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: I watched enough of Jared Golf to know that that

1097
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: team had they weren't going any further, and for them

1098
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: to double down the way that they did and say

1099
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: we're good, but we can be great. We can do better,

1100
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: and to go out and get a Matthew Stafford and

1101
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: now look at them, right, Look, and the other guys

1102
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: in the locker room know when you have the guy

1103
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: at quarterback and when you don't, right and Steve know

1104
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: what that like. You're on a team. You're waiting for

1105
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: that guy to show up. And if that guy didn't

1106
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: show up, you're looking at the general manager and the

1107
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: coaches like, what are we doing here? Don't get us

1108
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: a guy? And that's what the Rams did. I mean,

1109
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: so listen, that's what Tampa did. That's Tom Brady what

1110
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: he did leaving the Patriots and going to the Bucks

1111
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: and in one year taking them to the super Bowl

1112
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: and playing at home and winning it. That's all. Matthew

1113
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: Stafford is doing exactly what Tom Brady did a year ago.

1114
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: And I just believe that more of these quarterbacks, whether

1115
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: you're Aaron Rodgers, whether you're Russell Wilson, whether you're Deshaun Watson,

1116
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks are looking and saying, Okay, where can I go?

1117
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,919
Speaker 1: And I think if you're a team that's drafted very well,

1118
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: say you're the Denver Broncos, you drafted very well. You've

1119
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: done all the things you know to do, but these

1120
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks don't go on trees. And now one of them

1121
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: wants to come play for you. Sign me up for

1122
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: that if that's my team, If we already have our

1123
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: guy like you do a Buffalo or here in Cincinnatti,

1124
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: it's easy for us to sit where we are and

1125
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, what are you doing over there? Right? Look,

1126
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: hey man, you're either way. You gotta do everything you

1127
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: can and to get the best team you can because

1128
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to win in this league. Did you know that?

1129
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: It's so hard to win one game, let alone for

1130
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: the course of the season and find yourself as one

1131
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: of the last teams left stand. And we've been talking

1132
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: about it, and it's been an absolutely phenomenal playoff season

1133
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: for the NFL. I mean, the four walkoff scores in

1134
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: the divisional round of the playoffs and then these last

1135
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: two games in the in the championship round. Think about

1136
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: the razor thin margins for instance. And I'll give you

1137
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: a couple of instances. How has the entire narrative changed.

1138
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: If the forty nine ers don't drop a gimme interception,

1139
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: then Matthew Stafford's not the guy that we think he is.

1140
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: You know. Now that's the land. The Rams go home

1141
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: after bought and sold team. They're not in the playoffs anymore.

1142
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: They're cut out. In the championship game, the forty nine

1143
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: ers advanced with Jimmy Garoppolo, and then on the other

1144
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 1: side the Buffalo Bills. If that drop, if they drop

1145
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: one of those late passes with thirteen seconds ago, or

1146
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: if that Paul goes incomplete or whatever, and the Bills

1147
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: change hands and the Bills are in the championship game,

1148
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: and then Cincinnati goes to Buffalo. You got those two

1149
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks when it's the razor thin win. Loss of these

1150
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 1: playoffs has been unbelievable. I mean, look at the division.

1151
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: I think all of those games could have gone the

1152
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: other way. I sort of said this at the halfway

1153
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: point of the season. I say the playoffs have begun

1154
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: now because you can't tell me who's the favorite in

1155
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: any conference because week to week you could see it changing.

1156
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: You could point to every single team right the team.

1157
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Look at the teams at the top of each conference

1158
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: about the time we decided who was going to the playoffs,

1159
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: every last one of them have horrible loss. Right, I know,

1160
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: you'd be a bubble and you can point to a

1161
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: game or two. It's we don't forget it. We don't.

1162
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: We don't want to remember, you know, a Jacksonville game,

1163
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: we don't. Whatever, there was a thing we don't want

1164
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: to remember. The Bengals don't want to remember playing and

1165
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: losing to the Jets. Okay, Green Bay didn't want to

1166
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: remember Week one in a stinker against the New Orleans Saints.

1167
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: Tampa had a few that they put you're rather not remember.

1168
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: And that's why I said, going into the playoffs, anybody,

1169
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: And as we sit here here right now, the two

1170
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: teams in the super Bowl, this is the first time

1171
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: in NFL history, guys, that we do not have a

1172
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: team planned in the Super Bowl that was not at

1173
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: least a top three seed in the conference. So that

1174
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: it tells you there's more parody across our league. We

1175
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: all got to share the talent and that general managers

1176
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: and team builders, it's becoming more and more difficult to

1177
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: make sure that you have the right team. And as

1178
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: you said, it's a razor edge because anything can tip

1179
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: the balance. COVID nineteen one player not being available on

1180
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: week any given week. It takes about eighty five to

1181
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: ninety players to get through an NFL season. That's now

1182
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: longer than it's ever been. Seventeen regular season games, okay,

1183
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: because you have an injuries, you have players going down.

1184
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: It takes a lot of players to get through that gauntlet.

1185
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: And by the time you're left standing, it's kind of

1186
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: like what we all want it. It's gonna go to

1187
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: the team that's playing well. That's Will coach, and you

1188
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 1: got to bring it on that Sunday. What I love

1189
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: about our sport, it's not the best three out of

1190
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: five or the best four out of seven. All you

1191
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: gotta do is be the best team that day. Play

1192
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: better than that team on any given day, and in

1193
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: that way, David can beat Goliath and find themselves playing

1194
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: in a super Bowl. I said, you gotta play well

1195
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: on that day. Man, that's hit on that day, on

1196
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 1: that day. I keep saying that. Brownie keeps repeating it. Well,

1197
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: it's been Steve's mantra. It's like you, it's like you

1198
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: two are twins or something. So I know the game

1199
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: is still a couple of weeks away here, Solomon, but

1200
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: what is your early what's your early INCLA Nation on

1201
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: this matchup of two four seeds. As you mentioned, you know,

1202
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: I was talking to Anthony Mujos this morning, and you know,

1203
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: we both grew up in the Los Angeles area and

1204
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: grew up in southern California. We both this is about

1205
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: the only thing Anthony and I share in common. We

1206
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: both were drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals. He's a Hall

1207
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: of Famer and a phenomenal person. But we're both going

1208
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: back to the game. And I said, Anthony, you know,

1209
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: we're sort of in a state of flux. You know,

1210
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,959
Speaker 1: we were drafted by the Bengals. That's our team, there's

1211
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: no doubt. But they're going back to our home city

1212
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: to play against the team we grew up rooting for,

1213
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: was the Los Angeles Rams. And he says, I know,

1214
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: he says, but I'm gonna be awaring my Bengals stripes.

1215
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: And that's kind of how it is. We're all in.

1216
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: We don't know how we're gonna block Aaron Donald. We

1217
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: don't know how we're gonna block Von Miller or Leonard Fluid.

1218
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 1: We don't how we gonna block them. We don't know

1219
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: if we could even keep Joe Burrow standing up right.

1220
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: But we're all in on the Bengals because we believe it,

1221
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, we believe in Jamar Chase, you believe in

1222
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: some of the talented, very young players on this team.

1223
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: And I think they've they've shown us that they know

1224
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: how to weather the storm, they know how to make

1225
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: a half of games, they don't know how to fight.

1226
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: As long as number nine is standing up right, they

1227
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: feel like they've got a chance. Yeah, and that's that's basically,

1228
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: you don't we don't have to know how they're gonna

1229
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: do it. In fact, they may not need to sit

1230
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 1: up Anthony. Yeah, they may not so exact right exactly

1231
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: this uh, but I really think that this one of

1232
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: those seasons that's been a really special season for a

1233
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 1: lot of reasons. Certainly fans back in the stands as

1234
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: opposed to a year ago, the way they play the

1235
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,439
Speaker 1: extra playoff team, and I and I we kept track

1236
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: of on this show throughout the season, the Bengals. At

1237
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: one point in the season they were the one seed.

1238
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: They dropped off from there, dropped all the way down

1239
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: to like the eight or nine seed during the second

1240
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: half of the year, and then they climb, you know,

1241
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: they obviously climb back up to get to the fourth

1242
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: seed before they could take a week off actually in

1243
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: Week eighteen, and not even have to win the game

1244
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 1: to be in. It was a crazy roller coaster ride

1245
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams, and you're right, every team

1246
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: seemed flawed, but the ones that are there, the Bengals

1247
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: and the Rams, and of course the Niners and the Chiefs,

1248
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: even the Bills and other teams in the division round,

1249
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 1: they were the teams that were playing best at the

1250
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: end of the year. And you can look back, every

1251
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: team could have been the one seed with one extra

1252
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: win or two extra wins, and that was the thing

1253
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: I think that set this year apart and really makes

1254
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: people when when this Super Bowl happens, you're really gonna

1255
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna people are gonna be starved quickly for this

1256
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: kind of excitement and fun watching football games. It's been

1257
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: a long long time since it's happened. I think this

1258
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 1: was a really maybe it won't happen again, but it

1259
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: was a really special season in my opinion, I totally agree.

1260
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: I think it was because it was a I think

1261
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: it was a coming of age for a new batch

1262
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks at the guys, you've already named Steve and

1263
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: remember you know, um, I think it's like the first

1264
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: time in a long time that either we didn't have

1265
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: Rogers or Brady playing in the you know one as

1266
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: one of the final four teams. Um. And clearly there

1267
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: has been a breakthrough with with Tom Brady now retiring,

1268
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers we you know no longer as he liked

1269
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: the staple in Green Bay. Ye may come back, but

1270
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 1: we don't know that. And right now things are in

1271
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: the state of flux. And with the emergence of these

1272
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, um, you know, they bring with them a

1273
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:37,600
Speaker 1: whole nother you know, legacy and whole nother um you know,

1274
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 1: level of play and just the way in which they

1275
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 1: compete and the way they're leading teams in which teams

1276
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: they're leading. You know, we could say the same about

1277
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: the Bills. This is the standard now. I believe the

1278
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Bills are going to be in the mix from me,

1279
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,680
Speaker 1: from me from now on until Josh Allen is no

1280
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: longer playing. I think he gives them a chance to

1281
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: have a special year any given year, and now is

1282
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: up to the management to really manage that in a

1283
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,440
Speaker 1: way that Yel's championships are opportunities right to win championships.

1284
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: And I think you could say that about a Lamar Jackson.

1285
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: You could say that about Justin Herbert. You could say

1286
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: that about a Joe Burrow. You could say that about

1287
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: a Derek Carr. You could say about a lot of

1288
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: guys that's just the AFC. You could say it, you know,

1289
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: about a lot of different quarterbacks. And but we're not

1290
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: talking about Breeze, We're not talking about Brady or we're

1291
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: not talking about Aaron Rodgers. And so I think it's

1292
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity to become a team who can win it.

1293
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 1: Let's forget about talking about dominant teams. Let's just talk

1294
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: about teams that could win it. You're seeing that the

1295
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: field as much broader, as much wider because of the

1296
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: level of play at the quarterback position by some very

1297
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: young guys who, oh, by the way, they're only gonna

1298
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: get better. Solomon, thanks for the time, We appreciate and enjoy.

1299
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: Safe travels out there to LA. You're gonna be hitting

1300
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: your old stopping grounds. You're gonna be hitting in and

1301
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: out Burger and all that of in and out Burger,

1302
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: Roscoe's Chicken and waffles. Yeah, we got, we got a

1303
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: whole lineup of place joyous. Thanks for having great talking

1304
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 1: to you all right. Solomon Wilcots from NFL Sirius XM

1305
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: NFL Radio also Doesn't Believe podcast with Adam Pacman Jones

1306
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: of All Things And as he said, he and his

1307
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 1: old teammate Anthony Munos, the Hall of Famer going back

1308
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: home to LA to take in the Super Bowl. That's

1309
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: gotta be a pretty cool deal for him. The team

1310
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: you played for going against the team you rooted for

1311
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: growing up in your hometown. Super Bowl, Like, that's tough

1312
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: to tie. I think he gotta. That's pretty I think

1313
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: you gotta arrive early and stay late. And I know this, Steve,

1314
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: knowing how much people love Josh Allen in this town.

1315
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: The Cincinnati Bengals are a long suffering franchise as well

1316
01:11:55,280 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 1: as we know. You get to the Super Bowl, and

1317
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 1: if Joe Burrow wins that thing, oh yeah, being an

1318
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Ohio native, I mean he's from Southeast Ohio, he wins

1319
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 1: that thing for the Cincinnati Bengals for their first ever

1320
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They have lebronze statue outside the stadium. In

1321
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 1: a week, I mean in a week, yeah, you'd think so.

1322
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:23,639
Speaker 1: Maybe Ohio's own Southeast Ohio. It's not like he'st from Cleveland.

1323
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 1: Let me just let's not forget. It's the Bengals. So

1324
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: it depends on the price tag it's donated, though. You

1325
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: are a savage, all right, Maybe it's made of ten

1326
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: I ain't laughing. I ain't. They could get made it

1327
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: out of concrete. Yeah, they might. They might be able

1328
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 1: to afford that. I mean that. That guy's already immediately

1329
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: in Bengals football folklore. Yeah, he's an amazing being an

1330
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: Ohio native. Let's face it, boomeris Shiason was a quarterback,

1331
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: got them to the super Bowl. Kenny Anderson was a quarterback,

1332
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: got them to the super Bowl. Carson or never got

1333
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: them to the super Bowl. They've had some really good

1334
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: guys take snaps for them over the years and have

1335
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: never been able to win. And now this guy, and

1336
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: to his credit, has played well. All those other guys

1337
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: seem different too. Carson Palmer was a phenomenal talent. Kenny

1338
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,640
Speaker 1: Anderson a lot of people believe he should be in

1339
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. And Boomer was an absolute unbelievable

1340
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: leader as a football player. Just a guy guys rallied around.

1341
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: They had great coaches and Sam Weish and others. So

1342
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: how you get you know, getting there is one thing,

1343
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:40,759
Speaker 1: and winning it is something. You know, we've never experienced

1344
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 1: it here in Buffalo, but it will. I don't know

1345
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: if it changes the narrative of your entire franchise or not.

1346
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 1: But we've seen other quarterbacks be really good, like Dan Marino,

1347
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 1: like Jim Kelly, who have got their team there and

1348
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: couldn't finish the deal. And then you see guys, you know,

1349
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,759
Speaker 1: there are guys, you know, people who know Rob Johnson

1350
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. He was a backup for the

1351
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You know Quentin Spain who was a

1352
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: guard here last year. Now now he's with the Cincinnati Bengals.

1353
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 1: He's going to a Super Bowl. Sometimes there's doesn't seem

1354
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:19,799
Speaker 1: like there's any justice for fans who are bowls. McCoy

1355
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: got two rings were the Chief Bucks and Bucks. So

1356
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 1: it's there is some of that going on where and

1357
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 1: it takes and like Solomon said, it takes ninety guys.

1358
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:32,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes it takes a ton of guys to make it happen.

1359
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: And it also all boils down to something. He said

1360
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: and I've always said, you know, you got to play

1361
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: good on that day. It's a different animal playing in

1362
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. Believe me. The halftime is thirty five

1363
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: minutes or twenty five minutes. It's like a half hour halftime,

1364
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 1: which in usually it's twelve minutes. It's twice that in

1365
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The pregame is an extra half an hour.

1366
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 1: They have to they have to start feeding their players

1367
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,600
Speaker 1: during the game because it's been so long since a

1368
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: normal pregame meal, and the game is so extended at halftime,

1369
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: you got to you gotta force feed these guys to

1370
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 1: keep them hiding, you know, with cars. So it's a

1371
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: different animal. It requires a lot of different energy levels

1372
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: throughout the week. I think in this day and age,

1373
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna be even more difficult in the lead up

1374
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 1: to the game because none of these guys for two years,

1375
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: certainly not Joe Burrow, have had to deal with a

1376
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: media crush and media responsibilities, required responsibilities that they're gonna

1377
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: have to on super Bowl Week in Super Bowl in LA,

1378
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna be worn out by Wednesday of Super Bowl Week.

1379
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: The one advantage the Rams have is all their people

1380
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: are gonna be sleeping in their own beds, they're right

1381
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: at home. That's gather an advantage of some sort. And

1382
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:57,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too. I'm sure Sean McVay is

1383
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: calling Bruce Arians saying, hey, how did you do it

1384
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: last year? Yeah? Maybe you know what? What? What should

1385
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 1: I be looking at here? And and Arians will be

1386
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:07,680
Speaker 1: for you know how, Ba, and he'll be like, yeah,

1387
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: well here's what we did. And he's gotten you know,

1388
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 1: he won't even he won't pull any punches. So that

1389
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:17,560
Speaker 1: I think that is an absolutely vast advantage. For the

1390
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 1: vast advantage. Okay, I was curious, like to the all right,

1391
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 1: because you gotta you gotta show up a week early.

1392
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: You gotta be there like time to change. Time change.

1393
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean you have time to get adjusted to it,

1394
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: but it's you know, you gotta adjusted it, and I don't.

1395
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 1: The Rams will be in their home spot, yeah, sleeping

1396
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: in their own beds and sleeping their own beds, practicing

1397
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: in their own facility. Break time for us here. When

1398
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get back to your thoughts on

1399
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: priority number one. For Bill's new offensive coordinator, Ken Dorsey,

1400
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: what do you think it is? Let us know? At

1401
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 1: eighth three five fifty. We'll get some of your thoughts

1402
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet as well. Next here on One

1403
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by a lot of health It's Buffalo

1404
01:16:53,360 --> 01:17:11,639
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome back One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve

1405
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: Tasker with you, and we want to get back to

1406
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,679
Speaker 1: the phones where we're asking you what a three five fifty.

1407
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: Tell us what you think the number one priority should

1408
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 1: be for Bill's new offensive coordinator, Ken Dorsey. We go

1409
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 1: to the phones and we've got Jeremy and Boise up next,

1410
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 1: but he got first. Jeremy, Hey, guys, First of all,

1411
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that I agree one with

1412
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: your criticism of the Kansas City Airport yesterday. That place

1413
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: is horrendous, horrible. I will take issue with one thing

1414
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: Steve said. He compared the Kansas City Airport to a

1415
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: bus station, and frankly, I think that's an insult to

1416
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: bus stations. So, but my football question has to do

1417
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: with the role that the offensive line coach has on

1418
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: a team, either generally or if you guys know, specifically

1419
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 1: with Bobby Johnson, which you know, I know that he's

1420
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: still in flux. We don't know if he's if he's leaving,

1421
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 1: but in terms of player development and talent evaluation and

1422
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,480
Speaker 1: maybe even you know what role he plays in advising

1423
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: the GM. I think it's safe to say that, you know,

1424
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: our offensive line play during Bobby Johnson's time here has

1425
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 1: been up and down, and there's been some questionable moves

1426
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: along the way. Going back to Cody Ford, he gets

1427
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: drafted as a tackle, that doesn't work out. They moved

1428
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: him to guard. That hasn't worked out yet, you know.

1429
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: And look, I know that he's kind of gotten a

1430
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: raw deal on Buffalo because they have moved him around

1431
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: a lot, but I mean, still it hasn't worked out.

1432
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: You know, Brian Winners, we signed him last year that

1433
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 1: immediately didn't work out. Quentin Spain a couple of years ago.

1434
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: He has a good first year and then he signs

1435
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: the extension and then he gets cut like four games

1436
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: into last season, and you know, then of course there's

1437
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 1: the why a Teller trade, which I won't get into that,

1438
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: but I have to think that before a GM pulls

1439
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: the trigger on an offensive lineman, that he has to

1440
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: go to the offensive line coach and say, hey, look,

1441
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 1: we got this guy out of Oklahoma that we like.

1442
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:18,680
Speaker 1: Do you think that you can develop him into a

1443
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: tackle or you know, hey, I'm on the phone with Cleveland.

1444
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: They're interested in teller, Do we have something here? Or

1445
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, should I pull the trigger on that? And

1446
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know enough about the role that

1447
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line coach plays in those areas to have

1448
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 1: an opinion about Bobby Johnson. And I'm just hoping you

1449
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,640
Speaker 1: guys couldn't help me up. Yeah, it's yeah, you're right.

1450
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, it's just as difficult, I would think,

1451
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: because I don't know for sure, but I think it's

1452
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 1: just as difficult to evaluate an offensive lineman from college

1453
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: to pros transition as it is a quarterback from college

1454
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 1: de pro, or a wide receiver from college to pro,

1455
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,720
Speaker 1: or a linebacker from college pro defensive lineman. I mean,

1456
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to know how the pro game in the

1457
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: pro atmosphere is going to affect any young player or

1458
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 1: young person who comes in and tries to make that transition.

1459
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: You're playing against better players, you're playing against higher expectations,

1460
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 1: and you're playing against yourself to improve, and some guys

1461
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: just aren't up to all this stuff. It's a higher

1462
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: mental demand that it makes and some guys just aren't

1463
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 1: up to that, and some teams just miss and you

1464
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: can say that the Bills missed on on a number

1465
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 1: of thing and the Wyatt Teller thing. And I can't

1466
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: remember exactly the timeline, but as you said, the Wyatt

1467
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: Teller trade was that it might I think it was

1468
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: after after the Richie Incognito departure and after the Eric

1469
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: would departure. Where it happened. Did they have Wyatt Teller

1470
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: on the roster? It was prior to that, right, Yeah,

1471
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: So I think that's one of the things that if

1472
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 1: you look back, Wyatt Teller was traded and they still

1473
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: had Richie Incognito when they were counting on Eric Wood.

1474
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's like those two guys go away, they

1475
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 1: have no capital to replace. They just it's like you

1476
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: just plucked him off the roster and it's like, you know,

1477
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 1: so then you think, you know, maybe they should have

1478
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 1: had Wyatt Teller on the roster then, no question about it.

1479
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if I got that timeline right, but

1480
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: it seems right to me. So that was kind of

1481
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 1: a hey, they got they got bitten by something they

1482
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 1: couldn't see coming. But you're right, Cody Ford I think.

1483
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they're saying, hey, we're gonna draft this kid,

1484
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: can you make him into a tackle. They're drafting a

1485
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 1: guy because he's got traits to play tackle and they

1486
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:28,600
Speaker 1: think he can. If he does get he needs to

1487
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 1: get better. But most of that is on the guy,

1488
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 1: not the coach, and old line coaches do have input

1489
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 1: on the run game coordination and how that's all going

1490
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: to get blocked up, so they do interact with the

1491
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in that way. So you know, if he

1492
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:49,560
Speaker 1: is not here, then yes, those dynamics will change and

1493
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: they'll there will be a feeling out process with the

1494
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,640
Speaker 1: new guy that comes in, whoever that might be. So

1495
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: we'll just have to wait and see what transpires. I

1496
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: can't tell you the ins and outs of what an

1497
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: offensive lineman's lineman coach job description says for how it

1498
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 1: works out in practical terms, but I would say Brownie's right.

1499
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: Then when they come and put together a run play

1500
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: and they say, hey, how do you how do you

1501
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: want to block this up? We want to run this

1502
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: against this front. Then if they're lined up in this spot,

1503
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: can we block it like this? And if the offensive

1504
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: line says we can block it like this with these

1505
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: three guys. But these other two guys here, I don't

1506
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 1: think we got the guys that can make those blocks.

1507
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. This guy can't execute or

1508
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: reach blocks. So let's not call that. We're not in

1509
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: that direction. If we're gonna call that play, we're going

1510
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: this way right, We're not going to be able to

1511
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 1: reach that guy against this team. Because this guy's Aaron

1512
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: Donald on this team, we can't reach him in that situation,

1513
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So a little bit of

1514
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: that as offensive line input, I'm sure, and maybe it's

1515
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: even more substantial than that. I couldn't tell you because

1516
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: I didn't. You know, I never played offensive line, never

1517
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: been in a coach's meeting either, So but that's kind of,

1518
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, logically speaking, that's what would have to be

1519
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 1: as an offensive line coach. And then he's also the guy,

1520
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: like we talked about earlier, if you got an offensive

1521
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 1: coordinator and all these guys can think their way through

1522
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 1: xs and os and say I got an answer for

1523
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 1: that defense. But an offensive line's job. Line coach's job

1524
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: is to help be the one of the coaches that

1525
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:14,520
Speaker 1: when that offensive coordinator calls a play because he anticipates

1526
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 1: this and has an answer for whatever happens. You got

1527
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,920
Speaker 1: to get your guys to execute that play in all

1528
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 1: the nuances that we will take to beat the defense

1529
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: it's going against. You've got to be the guy that

1530
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: is the liaison between between some cockamami offensive coordinator, mad

1531
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 1: scientists envision and what actually happens on the field. You

1532
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: gotta make it happen. That's what his job is, and

1533
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 1: it's not easy. Let's go back to the phones and

1534
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: we go to Scott and Charlotte. Next, yea for a Scott, Chris, Steve,

1535
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:48,600
Speaker 1: how are you today? Good? Good? They glad to hear it.

1536
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say congratulations to Ken

1537
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: Dorsey for his promotion and his priority is basically, don't

1538
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 1: screw up with day ball has or had going, keep

1539
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 1: on keeping on basically Yeah, anyway, Josh Allen's the Beast.

1540
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 1: Can't wait till twenty twenty two. And the other reason

1541
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 1: I called in is because I also was in Korea

1542
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: during the Greatest Comeback Game at three o'clock in the

1543
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 1: morning watching that So when I heard that call, I

1544
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: brought back a lot of cool memories. Thanks Steve glad

1545
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: it ended the right way for you, guys. You'll have

1546
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,920
Speaker 1: to catch up with Jay in Kentucky. So thanks for

1547
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: the call, Scott, appreciate it. Thanks for your service. We

1548
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: go along to Tom in Hamburg. Try to squeeze Tom

1549
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: in before the break here, what do you have first time? Hey, guys,

1550
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my calls. First, I want to say

1551
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:54,520
Speaker 1: that I'm really happy about Dorsey being promoted an offensive coordinator.

1552
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: What has me confused, though, is there's reports out that

1553
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: he had a handshake kill all ready with the Giants

1554
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 1: and the Bills had to step up and pay him

1555
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 1: as much as the Giants. We're going to pay him

1556
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:08,719
Speaker 1: in order for him to take that the OC position

1557
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 1: with us. What confuses me, guys, is you got Daniel

1558
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: Jones that you're going to be the OC, or you

1559
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen, the best player in the NFL, and

1560
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: my view to be the OC of him. Why in

1561
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: the world if those reports are accurate, do you think

1562
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 1: he would have even been lured by the Giants position. Yeah,

1563
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 1: you might have answered your own question. You're trusting that

1564
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 1: those reports are accurate under those circumstances. I don't know

1565
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 1: if we're ever going to know all the behind the

1566
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 1: closed door circumstances. He was just saying the reports that

1567
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 1: that Dorsey had a handshake agreement with the Giants to

1568
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:47,680
Speaker 1: go there, and that the Bills are going to have

1569
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: to outpay the Giants to keep him, We're not going

1570
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: to know those circumstances, and I doubt we ever will.

1571
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: To me, the most attractive thing here is he gets

1572
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:58,600
Speaker 1: to call the plays. And I don't know if there

1573
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 1: was any guarantee that he'd be doing that with the Giants.

1574
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: Stable might call the plays now, I know, he said

1575
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: in his press conference yesterday. Who calls the plays is

1576
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 1: going to be dependent upon whom he hires. So I

1577
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:11,679
Speaker 1: don't know about you, guys, but if I'm a first

1578
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: time head coach, I finally got the job I've been

1579
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 1: waiting twenty two years to land, and I'm an offensive

1580
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 1: play caller. Am I letting Ken Dorsey, who has never

1581
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: done it before, do that for me? Or? Am I

1582
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: doing that? Yeah? I think Bryan Dable's calling the plays.

1583
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,640
Speaker 1: He might he know, but he knows Dorsey as well,

1584
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 1: and he wants Dorsey on his staff. And if you're

1585
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey, say I'll come over. But I want to

1586
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:33,599
Speaker 1: be a full time I want to be a full

1587
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I don't want to be a guy who's

1588
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna stand there and hold the clipboard and write down

1589
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: the plays that you're calling. If I'm gonna do this,

1590
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call the plays. And certainly he's gonna do

1591
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: that in Buffalo, So maybe there was a little bit

1592
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 1: of that, you know, And certainly money comes into everything.

1593
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey's got a family just like the rest of us.

1594
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: So he's got he's got that consideration to think. Plus

1595
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 1: jerking his kids and his wife, his two waters and

1596
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 1: his wife out of their life here in Buffalo and

1597
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 1: going to Jersey. It's not easy. It's not an easy

1598
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 1: to think. So to stay here to call plays and

1599
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:14,759
Speaker 1: to not have your family go through the upheaval of moving.

1600
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 1: Plus you're taking over a something that's already up and

1601
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:21,639
Speaker 1: running and humming no less, it's pretty enticing. I think,

1602
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 1: all right, well, we have to take a break. We'll

1603
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: come back to close things up. Get a couple of

1604
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: thoughts from the tweet sheet. Next here on one Bill's Live,

1605
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: Stay tuned. All right, what's the job number one for

1606
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 1: New Bill's offensive coordinator? Ken Dorson, you just named officially

1607
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 1: to the post at the start of the show a

1608
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 1: couple of hours ago. For that, we go to the

1609
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1610
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and Chris says,

1611
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 1: offensive line improvement, no question, but should be getting in

1612
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: someone's ear to lock up Isaiah McKenzie and gave Davis

1613
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 1: to long term contracts asap. Sebastian says, let Josh Cook

1614
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,839
Speaker 1: priority number one. Jack says, find a way to generate

1615
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:17,600
Speaker 1: more yards after the catch. The last few years the

1616
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:19,560
Speaker 1: Bills have been toward the bottom on that stat and

1617
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 1: need to evolve the route concepts within plays to allow

1618
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers more open space to catch and run. Steve,

1619
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 1: you and I have talked about this before. Josh is

1620
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: a put it on him quarterback, not a lead him

1621
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:34,639
Speaker 1: into space quarterback, right right. I think I think that's

1622
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 1: a symptom of the kind of quarterback Josh is and

1623
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 1: the way he likes to throw the football where he's comfortable.

1624
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:42,719
Speaker 1: He likes to throw it into a guy and pop

1625
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: it right on him. Yeah. Now, certainly we've seen him

1626
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 1: throw slants and crossing routes and all that, and the

1627
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,600
Speaker 1: deep post he gave Davison the divisional playoff. But even so,

1628
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:51,840
Speaker 1: he is a guy that wants to throw it and

1629
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 1: put it on, a guy that lends itself to guys

1630
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,880
Speaker 1: coming out, going out, turning around the balls there, and

1631
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 1: that does not lend it self to run after catch.

1632
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 1: So if that, if that's the case, if what you

1633
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:05,080
Speaker 1: and I are saying is right, just let Josh do

1634
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Don't don't belittle what they've done and

1635
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 1: how good they are what they're doing. Patrick for Ken

1636
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 1: Dorsey says, work closely with Ja seventeen, knowing better than

1637
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,200
Speaker 1: your family. He's worked with him for three years. I

1638
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:19,719
Speaker 1: think he knows it pretty good already. They're probably probably

1639
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 1: pretty good buddies. Plenty more coming your way tomorrow, Steve

1640
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 1: and I will be here to deliver it to you.

1641
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:28,120
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow at one pm.
