21
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: the guy I, the guy on this planet that I

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: have played more golf with than any other human being,

23
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: is getting his knee replaced tomorrow. So he's out for

24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: the entire season. And it's sinco demio tomorrow. So I

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: so I hope he's listening because then I'm having a

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: hard time. Do I go there be there for my

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: buddies getting his knee replaces, or I do I go

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: out right? You can order in. He's my golfing buddy,

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: so he would understand if I decided to, like, you know,

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: let him convalesce in quiet and sure, or you can

31
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: use Mexican beer to ease the pain. It's a good

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: call by us. I'm yeah, I gotta, I gotta, so

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,720

34
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: he's getting his knee replate. But he also m horrible timing.

35
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: And it's all because he says it was because of

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: the pandemic, because he couldn't get into get surgeries, did

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: get put off or taken off the schedule. I think

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: that's bunk. But I'm letting him slide on it because

39
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,359

Speaker 1: like turning twenty in May the year he got drafted.

81
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: I think about that first. God's ridiculous. Yeah, that is

82
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: so ridiculous. Yeah, sinko demote. Are you gonna do anything

83
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: other than just like I will make sure that your

84
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: color choice food will be consumed. I we we, my

85
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: wife and I have not you determined if we're going

86
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: out or ordering in. Um, oh, you're not gonna cook it? No,

87
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean I cook more than my fair share of

88
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Mexican food, but sure, probably not. I mean I suppose

89
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: I could. I'll man, I was, I'll raise the suggestion.

90
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a good call by you. I gotta

91
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: get something on the docket. I gotta get I gotta

92
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: straighten I gotta straighten out with my golf buddy, get

93
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: him all squared away. Yeah. And I don't know what

94
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: else I'm gonna do. My biggest problem, And I know

95
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: you've you know, when we've been on the road, you've

96
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: gotten Mexican with me before, like when we were at

97
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: the Combine. I have I have an addiction problem with nachos.

98
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: And naturally, when you go to the Mexican restaurant, what

99
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: is the first thing they put out on the table

100
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: as soon as you sit chips. Yeah, it takes all

101
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: of the strength in me and willpower not to eat

102
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: too many of those and basically have no appetite for dinner.

103
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't even try. Well, just when I was younger,

104
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: I just try. I would just chot. Yeah. But like

105
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: by the time the food comes, you got two baskets

106
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: of chips, and like a beer or two down your

107
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: pie hole. And then here comes it comes your dinner platter,

108
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: And can I have some more SALTA your dinner platter

109
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: comes here? Can I get a box? Please? Yeah? Yeah,

110
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: you're right. Um, it's a challenge. I'll say this though.

111
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: If you get a place where the chips are good,

112
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: they make them in house or whatever, and they give

113
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: you that that salt and they keep the salsa running,

114
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, you could almost I could live.

115
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: I could make a meal out of that. I could

116
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: live up for a week, nacho salsa and beer. I could.

117
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: I could live for an entire week and do nothing

118
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: but eat salsa and chips and beer. Yeah, I could

119
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: do that. I think I I think I could think

120
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: I can make that happen. Um, there's something It would

121
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: be a slow burn, but I could do it. Yeah,

122
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: And that's a good that's a good question. We could

123
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: have a debate on what food, you know. It's that

124
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: like the old debate what food if you could only

125
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: eat that food for the rest of your life would

126
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: be you'd have to have one of those foods. It's

127
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: like a mixture of a lot of things, right, like

128
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: vegetable pizza or something. Oh god, I mean, I'm just

129
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: saying no. I mean because for if you no health repercussions,

130
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: with no health repercussions, it's like cookies and cream all

131
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: day every day. Oh, it's ice cream for you. What

132
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: else would it be? Of course I'm not cold Winter's day,

133
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: I get it. But I don't have a big sweet tooth,

134
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: so I'd be going all in on the red meat,

135
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: like probably be a burger, yeah see, or some kind

136
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: of exers. My fallback always beef with me, you know. Yeah, sure,

137
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: but I'm yeah, I don't I don't know that they're

138
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: salsas and chips and salts are Yeah, I mean you can,

139
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Y're a winner. You could graze on those like a

140
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: cow in a field, just all day, every day and

141
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: just do nothing but chew and watch TV or whatever.

142
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: I could do it. Oh and I could do it.

143
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: I would be fat enough for slaughter two at the

144
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: end of its right, But though, yeah, no question. Are

146
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: not gonna go out? I don't know yet. We haven't decided.

147
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: In Mexican food is on the menu. It's just a

148
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: matter of where that is going to be consumed. Do

00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: you have a favorite You don't have to say what

Speaker 1: it is, but do you have a favorite place? My

151
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: wife does for sure. I am. I am not discriminating

152
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: at all. Right, I do not discriminate. You serve Mexican food.

153
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: I am there right, and I agree. We've got a

154
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: couple in the village we live in. Each of them

155
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: has their pluses minuses, you know, So yeah, I'm totally yeah.

156
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: There are not even I'm fast food, ripped Mexican place too,

157
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: tacos and there are. There are definitely differing strengths two

158
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: different means. You've noticed that as well, right, Yes, there

159
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: are different places have different strengths. I guess it's like

160
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: most restaurants. I mean, they do something well. But yeah,

161
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm totally with you. Spanish Mexican food is to me.

162
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: I I love it. I really do. And there's some

163
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: things I go. I'm a big enchilada guy. Um tacos.

164
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: Not so much in the restaurant, but it out and

165
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: when you're like fat, like food trucks and small taco joints.

166
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: I am all about it, all the fast food Mexican restaurants.

167
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: I am all about it. I'm in and it's tacos

168
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: all day for me, hard shell, not sauce shell. The

169
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: best on the move food. And I used to I

170
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: first became aware of this when I was on the

171
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: soccer tournament circuit with my kids teams, right, and you know,

172
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: you go to tournaments for a weekend, there'd be food

173
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: trucks and everything, but you're walking around like you're know,

174
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: you're not sitting. You don't feel like you Yeah, you

175
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: don't feel taco in a bag. Have you seen that,

176
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Oh with the Freedo's Yeah, with the Freedo Yeah yeah,

177
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: with chili on top of it, like meat in there

178
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: and everything and oh yeah, yeah, it's so handy. I

179
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: don't know why it's people think of that sooner at

180
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: taco in a bad right there. That's a that's an American.

181
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: That is yes, that is American. Ingenuity that is at

182
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: its best. I will agree with you that, but I yeah,

183
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm no question the the food that you can get

184
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: at a Mexican place, but it's really a wide band

185
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: of there's something for everybody. The thing that came out

186
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: in our lifetime never existed, I'm telling you. Before, like

187
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. It was like nineteen

188
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: eighty maybe you're gonna get nacho chips in a grocery

189
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: store until like the late eighties. At Nachos became a

190
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: stadium food sometime in the eighties, and it was like

191
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: boom it was. It was like it was like a

192
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: new thing started down in like Texas whatever. And now

193
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like, wow, you can get

194
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: not that that is awesome, melted cheese, give me, give

195
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: me some of that. Well it's processed cheese. I don't care,

196
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: Just give me. You know what else happened during our

197
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: lifetime that came and I don't think it exists, and

198
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: maybe it did, but fajitas, those were you couldn't find those,

199
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, it's like every place sells them. Oh,

200
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: you can get them in to sit down chain place.

201
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh it's a big and it comes out

202
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: all sizzling and stuff. It's a big thing. It's a

203
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: big advertise. And they walked through the place and everyone's like, oh,

204
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: what are they having? Yeah? Those were those were non

205
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: existent when I was a kid. You couldn't they agree.

206
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, they just came up with it. Fahitas,

207
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: It's a whole new world we live in. Yeah, how

208
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: about which is why you still have not If you

209
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: still have not watched it, you have to watch the

210
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: History Channel series The Food That Built America. You gotta

211
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: watch it. I've seen I think you'd be glued. I

212
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: couldn't remember what that. You'd be glued. It's pretty Yeah,

213
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: it's entertaining, like just a history of food in this country.

214
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. So if sinco de Maya, we gotta all right,

215
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: let's let's make a pact here, we'll take eat ourselves silly. No,

216
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: let's try and do something, you know, settlematory. Either go

217
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: out to dinner and then we gotta share that when

218
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: we come back. Because that's fine. I'm glad you said

219
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: that because I was. I was completely off my radar

220
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: until like an hour ago when I was thinking, oh, yeah, tomorrow. Yeah. Well,

221
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: the funny thing is today is May the fourth, and

222
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: that is a big fourth Star Wars oriented thing. May

223
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: the Fourth be with you, and that's just taken off

224
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: probably in the last five or six years too. You know,

225
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: social media has obviously blowing it up as well. People

226
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: you know, run with it, and I get it. I'm

227
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: a big Star Wars so well so am I. But

228
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: for the people that are not, and they are, there

229
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: are those people out there, you do. There is no

230
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: in between, do you know what I'm saying? Like, there's

231
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: nobody that says yeah, yeah, I kind of like some

232
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: Star Wars. But it's not really a huge thing for me.

233
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: You are either all in or all out. I think

234
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: that's social pressure. That's pure pressure because everybody's everybody. Everybody's

235
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: looking at you, like, what's your opinion? Give it to me,

236
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: what do you do? You like them or not? And

237
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: they don't put up with the mediocre. You either have to,

238
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta go on one side or the other.

239
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: So so the cool thing is for me, the first

240
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: movie I ever saw in a theater, I was five

241
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: years old. I saw Star Wars like five years for

242
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: the Younger Kids episode four, which back then was nobody

243
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: knew it. It's like this is called Star Wars and uh,

244
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: it was awesome, Like I was just I was locked

245
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: in from there. And now the cool thing is my

246
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: kids we're going to the movies around the time where

247
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: set I think seven, eight nine, or maybe even one,

248
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: two and three, two and three, two and three were

249
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: coming out when they were starting to go to the movie.

250
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: So it's like even though they're the next generation you

251
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: know of people, you know, the next generation here in

252
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: this country, they're just as into it as I am.

253
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: Which is kind of the cool thing because you can

254
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: share it with your kids. Same thing with my kids. Yeah,

255
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: my wife missed the boat on it. Oh really no interest,

256
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: has zero interest. She got left standing at the station.

257
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: I don't think she cared for it. I don't know why.

258
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but just not into it.

259
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: I don't I don't get it. I'm not a film

260
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,479
Speaker 1: critic or anything like. I I don't know the nuances

261
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: of how you express it. It was really when it

262
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: first came out, the effects which now seemed like a joke. Yeah, college,

263
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: high school kids are doing it in there in for

264
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: a project right their phone and they're doing it better.

265
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: But back then it was like, wow, what the it's

266
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: a lightsaber? How do they do that? You know, the lightsabers, right,

267
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. Um, the costumes, the creatures, all that. It

268
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: was all huge because of the technological advances of the effects,

269
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: industrial light and magic of you know, George Lucas. So

270
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: that was the big thing then, and then certain things

271
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: that you know, the creatures, and it was a story

272
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: about characters more so than the technology of being in space.

273
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: In the space, that's the whole reason he started with

274
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: episode four. He went four or five and six because

275
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: those he was capable of doing with the movie technology

276
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: he had at his disposal of the time. He went

277
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: back to do one, two three, like that movie The

278
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Clone Wars. He goes, I don't have enough extras to

279
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: put in a shot, right, and we hadn't. They had

280
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: no CGI right. So once that technology came to the four,

281
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: they said, okay, now we can go back. Now we

282
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: can do it. That's right, and it was. It became

283
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: a story about the aliens and the and the people

284
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: and the and the beings in it, rather than the

285
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: technology and the fact that they were creepy crawlers or whatever.

286
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: They were alien alien life ones, right, So it became

287
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: about relationships this whole story, rather than the technology, which

288
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: is not what you would expect it that in that

289
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: day and age. So yeah, there was a lot of

290
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: reasons why it cleaned up at the Oscars, but you know,

291
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: it did, it did, And now they have all these

292
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: different offshoots now that are on you know, streaming series

293
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: and everything, and oh, it's the gift that keeps on giving. Yeah,

294
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: I think actually, I think later this month it's the

295
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: whole Kenobi stories coming out, So yeah, looking forward to that.

296
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: Think about it's it's a little bit and we're all

297
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: fascinated by it. Star Wars, Star Trek same thing. Yeah.

298
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: Well see, now when I was a kid, there was

299
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: a whole big divide there. It's like you were either

300
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: a Star Trek person or a Star Wars person and

301
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: there was no in between there. You either liked one

302
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: or the other, and you could it was almost like

303
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: you couldn't like both. And I was at I kind

304
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: of missed the window of the of the mainstream Star

305
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: Trek stuff. I remember watching it on my TV in

306
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: my house. Is a little little kid and be like

307
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: six pm or something, six thirty pm it would be on.

308
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: But then it was already in syndication, by the right.

309
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't like that. It wasn't that when it was

310
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: originally it was only on for like two or three years.

311
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: And and the thing really it was only a tour.

312
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: I think there's like sixty episodes really something like that.

313
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: And then you know, they made a movie and they

314
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: came back into it all that, and and you became,

315
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, attached to the characters and that kind of thing.

316
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: But the same thing. Now they've got next generation, they've

317
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: got deep space, all the variations genres of m so

318
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: it's and it still holds water and it still has

319
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: a lot to offer with entertainment all that. But um,

320
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: by the way, how do we get into these weeds? Well,

321
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: we just started talking about Cinco de Mayo and then

322
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: we went to May the fourth. But NFL news and notes, Steve,

323
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: did you see that the Cowboys top of the draft

324
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: board got leaked? So this is well what happened? Was

325
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: it all stemmed from when Jerry Jones is at pre

326
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: draft press conference and he holds up a sheet that

327
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: is literally their draft board and his brother, his brother,

328
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: his son, Stephen Jones says, put that down, don't put

329
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: those cameras are rolling, yea. And so sure enough, somebody

330
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: took a screenshot of when he held the thing up,

331
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: people zoomed in, enhanced the thing, and then people you know,

332
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: out mountain cyberspace got to work out. It took him

333
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: three hours and a team of people out on social media. Basically,

334
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: we're able to discern the first sixteen names on the

335
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys draft board. Cavon Thibodeaux number one on

336
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: their board. That wasn't a surprise. A lot of some

337
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: people had him there. It was a surprise to some people.

338
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: But as we're finding out, and we talk about all

339
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: the time leading up to it, what the Cowboys have

340
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: is their top sixteen names, and if that was the

341
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: sixteen names, that might be those were the sixteen guys

342
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: they had as first rounders, you know what I mean,

343
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: And then somebody else might have had twenty twenty two

344
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: guys as first rounders. So it now appears that the

345
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: entire top board has been deciphered. Last night it was

346
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: only sixteen. They've got the top thirty four on the

347
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys sport. This is unbelievable, so really quick. One through sixteen.

348
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: Cavon Thibodeaux, Evan Neil, Aidan Hutchinson, Garrett Wilson, the receiver

349
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: that went tenth to the Jets. He was fourth, Sas Gardner,

350
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: Derek Stingley Junior, Trayvon Walker, Kyle Hamilton, Ikey Akwanyu, Drake London,

351
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis, Charles Cross, Lewis Seen the safety who went

352
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: thirty second, thirteenth on their board, Jamison Williams, Chris Alive,

353
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith. Those were the top sixteen bottom half of

354
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: the round seventeen Devon Lloyd eighteen, Das Hill nineteen, Bruce

355
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: Hall twenty, Kenyan Green twenty one, George Karloft's twenty two,

356
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: Zion Johnson, Traylan Burke's, Kyler Gordon. They had Kyler Gordon

357
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: ahead of Kayer Elam, Steve Kyler Gordon twenty four, Kayer

358
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: Elam twenty nine on their board, twenty five, Tyler Lindenbaum,

359
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: the center who went twenty fifth, David Dajabo, Johan Dotson,

360
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson, Kyrie Elam, Arnold Ebba, Katie Trent McDuffie, Quaywalker,

361
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: DeVante Wyatt Logan Hall, so was pretty high on that.

362
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: He went, well, he's he was thirty fourth and he

363
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: went thirty third to Tampa Bay. He was the first

364
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: pick of Day two, so there a lot of their

365
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: draft grades were in line. I think what this speaks to, though, Steve,

366
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: remember when Brandon came in here and he said, you know,

367
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: we may only have twenty two players with first round grades.

368
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: You know, the Cowboys had their number of players and

369
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: they differed. You can see how the players differ a

370
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 1: little bit from one team to the next. I mean,

371
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: you saw the Jacksonville Jaguars. They took Trey Von Walker

372
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: number one overall. He was the best player on their board.

373
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: Presumably he was seventh on the Cowboys list. So I

374
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: think it just helps speak to the variance of what

375
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: you see across the league. And again because it goes

376
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: back to who is a fit for our team, our scheme,

377
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: the way we play, personality, character, background, all that jazz.

378
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: Different teams weigh it differently. We heard Brandon last week

379
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the draft. Did you hear about

380
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: the Rambo sticker? No, he said, we have guys if

381
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: they play nasty and you know they're they got like

382
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: a little edge to their game. He goes, We don't

383
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: give it to every one of them, but he goes,

384
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: the guys at the top of the list in terms

385
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: of having an edge to their game and you know,

386
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: bringing an extra physicality, we give him a Rambo sticker.

387
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: That's what they call, yeah sticker because their last pick

388
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: in the draft, Balen Spector, he had a Rambo sticker. Yeah,

389
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: he was one of those guys. And yeah, we talked

390
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: about all I talk about it maybe probably too much

391
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: about how you need guys with a little bit of grit. Yeah,

392
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: you can't have everybody being you know, helping the other

393
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: team up off the ground and patting him on the

394
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: behind as they go back to the huddle. And you

395
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: want some guys that, you know, poke them in the

396
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: eye kind of guys, you know, I mean, you know,

397
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: bite their finger off in a pile, you bite off

398
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: their knee cap, right. Yeah, if if there's a if

399
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: there's a fight, they want to be there. They run

400
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: to the fight. Um, obviously you don't want too many

401
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: of those guys, but you gotta have some of those

402
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: guys to pick everybody else up and say, okay, let's

403
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: go hum a Rambo sticker is very fitting for that. Yeah,

404
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: I like it. It's perfect. We've got a good show

405
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: for you today. We have a trip around the AFC

406
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: East post draft as we are going to be asking

407
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: you on the tweet sheet today which AFC East rival

408
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: closed the gap on the Bills the most following the

409
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL Draft. The choices are obvious Dolphins, Jets, Patriots.

410
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: So let us know what you think in terms of

411
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: who made up some ground on the Bills in the division.

412
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: Not saying that anybody really overtook the Bills, because I

413
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: don't think that happened. And if you want to weigh

414
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: in on maybe the jockeying of position behind Buffalo, because

415
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: you know, last year, as we all know, the Patriots

416
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: reached the postseason as a wild card with a ten

417
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: and seven mark. There might be some people out there

418
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: that and I might raise my hand on this that

419
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: could see the Patriots winding up fourth in this division. Now.

420
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Jets have done enough yet

421
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: to really get to that place. They got a lot

422
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: of new faces, got to blend a lot of new

423
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: people well together. I can see them winning seven games

424
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: this year, though the Jets. Oh yeah, yeah, they got

425
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: If you think if you look at the draft we

426
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: were going to talk about this a little bit. If

427
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: you look at their draft, the guys they picked, you

428
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: could make a case that their first four picks that started,

429
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: of course with Jermaine Johnson, No, they twenty six overall.

430
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: Their top guy was Sauce Gardner, number one corner overall

431
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: as a consensus. Their second pick was Garrett Wilson, who,

432
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: as we saw on the Cowboys, the Cowboys had him

433
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: as the number one wide receiver, So they got the

434
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: number one corner, number one wide receiver. And you could

435
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: debate all of these, but you know, there's Jermaine Johnson,

436
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: who was maybe not the best, but at least one

437
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: of the top two or three, maybe the fourth defensive,

438
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: top five pass rusher in this in this drafts back then,

439
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: they got Breecee Hall, who was a consensus number one

440
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: running back in this draft class. So they got three

441
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: of their first four picks were the top guy and

442
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: the other one was top two or three or four

443
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: in that position group. So the Jets have to feel

444
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: really really good about their draft class coming in and contributing. Now,

445
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: how these guys acclimate and whether they all kind of

446
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: on board and they all buy in and all that,

447
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: and they you know, team building and all that. Their

448
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: contributions may vary, results may vary, but they got to

449
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: feel really good at least about their top four. They

450
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: really helped themselves. I think so too. Question about that.

451
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: We'll get more on that in the second hour of

452
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 1: our show when we talked to New York Jets dot

453
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: com senior director and Jets reporter Eric Allen. He will

454
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: join us to kind of elaborate a little bit on

455
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: the Jets draft and why they kind of gravitated towards

456
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: the players that they did not so much in the

457
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: first round but after that, and where he feels the

458
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: roster has been strengthened the most for them, and more importantly,

459
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: the outlook for them as far as the division goes

460
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: going into twenty t here, they've got to feel pretty

461
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: good about themselves and if they trust player development with

462
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: respect to their coaching staff, you know they can they

463
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: can make some definitive progress this year is a team

464
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: that is far more competitive than they were last year.

465
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: So you can let us know on the tweet sheet

466
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: at One Bills Live, which AFC East rival closed the

467
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: gap on the bills the most following the draft last week.

472
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: that we want to discuss with you during the show today.

473
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: National Football League also announced the dates for its five

474
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: international regular season games, three of which will be played

475
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: in the UK and then one in Germany and one

476
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: in Mexico. The UK games are as follows Vikings versus

477
00:25:53,640 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: Saints October second, Giants versus Packers October ninth, and then

478
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: Bronchos versus Jags October thirtieth. All of those games have

479
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: nine thirty am Eastern time kickoffs, being five hours behind

480
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: and or five hours ahead, I should say, And that

481
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: Bronchos Jags game Steve is going to be exclusively on

482
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: ESPN Plus it'll be a streaming game, so that's interesting. Yeah,

483
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for some people to find it

484
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: might harder than usual. Correct. And then the game in

485
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: Germany Seattle against Tampa. We already knew Tampa was hosting

486
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: the game. They will play Seattle and that is November thirteenth,

487
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 1: and that is also a nine thirty kick. And then

488
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: there is a Sunday night game in Mexico City, San

489
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: Francisco against the host team Arizona November twenty first. That

490
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: is an ESPN game, so that might actually be a

491
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: Monday night It's got to be if it's on ESPN,

492
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, that'll be a Monday night game. So those

493
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: are the five international games on the docket for this

494
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: coming season. There is also some news based on what

495
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told Amazon Primes upfront Monday. He

496
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: expects all fourteen playoff teams from last season will appear

497
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: at one point or another on Amazon primes Thursday Night

498
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: Football package this season. So as we know, Prime paid

499
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: for the exclusive rights other than the over the year,

500
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,239
Speaker 1: and it's like, if the Bills are playing Thursday Night,

501
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: they're not just going to be on Amazon Prime. They

502
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: will be on local TV as well as the team

503
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: city whom they're playing. But other than that, for the

504
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: rest of the country, you're gonna have Amazon Prime to

505
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: get the game. Do you think is it so? That

506
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: means the Bills will be part of the Thursday Night

507
00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: package somewhere on the schedule. The question is, but now

508
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be on prim Well, it's fourteen weeks

509
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: the Thursday night football schedule, I believe if I remember right,

510
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: it's a fourteen week schedule. Okay, and um, yeah, but

511
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: that's just the There will be a triple header on Thanksgiving,

512
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: which is also a Thursday. One of those three games

513
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: will be on Amazon. The other two presumably will be

514
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: on the other over the air networks. Um, that's the

515
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: question I want to know. So he's saying all fourteen

516
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: playoff teams will appear on the Thursday Night football schedule

517
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: this year on Amazon. The question is will the Bills

518
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: be again playing on Thanksgiving because they are a Thanksgiving

519
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: Day candidate by virtue of the fact that they're playing

520
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: the Lions this year? Who always plays on Thanksgiving? I'll

521
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: take that, I guess. But yeah, we're just getting to

522
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: be a Buffalo tradition. Well, this would be what three

523
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: out of four years. I don't think they played on

524
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving in twenty twenty, did they? Yeah, that was the

525
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: easy game. No. Twenty nineteen was Bills. Twenty twenty was

526
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: in front of nobody. Remember, I don't think they played

527
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving in twenty twenty. I don't think so. I

528
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: can't remember. So I think it would be three of

529
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: the last four years if they get on. If they're

530
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving again this year, yeah, I don't. I don't

531
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: think they played on Thanksgiving in the no fans in

532
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: the stands here. Um. So that's something we'll find out

533
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: next week. Yeah. And it's getting the point now with

534
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: the ESPN Plus and the you know, Amazon, Amazon paid

535
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: a billion dollars this at this point, doesn't it seem

536
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: like a little bit like um pay per view for

537
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: those games for some people? Well, right, because you have

538
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: to have a subscription to Amazon. I get it. I would.

539
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: I would venture to say a good portion of this

540
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: country has that, wouldn't you. Yeah, maybe probably more than

541
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: any other streaming service, maybe, with the exception of a

542
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: couple of other bills. The bills on in two th twenty.

543
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: It was a twenty twenty you're talking about. That was

544
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: the no fans in the stands here, right, But you're

545
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: they did not play on Thanksgiving. They play That was

546
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: the year they lost on the Hail Murray on November fifteenth,

547
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: and then had a bye week and didn't play a

548
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: game until November twenty ninth against the Chargers. Yeah, so yeah,

549
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: no Thanksgiving game in twenty twenty, but yes in nineteen yes,

550
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: last year down in New Orleans. So now we'll see.

551
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: Because they play the Lions are on the schedule, they

552
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: will play the Lions. The question is do they play

553
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: Lions on Thanksgiving or Yeah? Well, I mean they could

554
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: be one of the other game. It's a triple header week.

555
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: It's a triple header night now Thanksgiving if three games,

556
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: so even if it's not the Lions, I suppose they

557
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: could pick them to be one of because it's cow

558
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: whoever the Cowboys are playing. They're not playing the Bills

559
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: this year, whoever the Lions are playing. And then there's

560
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: a third game, so I suppose they could be the

561
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: third game too. But well, we we're gonna it's gonna

562
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: come out in less than two weeks. I mean, it's

563
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 1: gonna be out on the twelfth, ten days from now

564
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: or full schedule right in. Other details will be trickling

565
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: out Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday up to Thursday. Um, it'll

566
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: be interesting. Yeah, that stuff always leaks out and you'll

567
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: probably get it on social some social media feed will

568
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: have unofficial finger quotes correct um, and they'll have a

569
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: ton of that stuff out. We're gonna have a Maddie

570
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: and I are going to have a little quick live

571
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: unveiling of it on the twelfth visit that Wednesday night,

572
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: so you can tune in to get that. But do

573
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: you think that the league what do you think the

574
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: League is risking by spreading out the product over all

575
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: these platforms anything? What does it mean to you, James? Yeah,

576
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: ESPN plus, Amazon, Prime, Fox. It's about exposure. The more

577
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: places you are, the more you can grow the product.

578
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: That's how I see it. I don't know though, be

579
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: in more places where the non traditional viewing audience is

580
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, yeah, but you want

581
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: to if you I don't want to stand age to me,

582
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: non traditional means stream you've gone from traditional two non traditional. Well,

583
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: it's all going to streaming eventually again. Network television is

584
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: going to hang around for a while, but it's not

585
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna be here forever. And I know you got to

586
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: get on those other platforms now. Yeah, so when the

587
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: switch does happen, you're already there, you know what I mean? Yeah? Absolutely,

588
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: And Life and Live sports always pulls down huge ratings

589
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: no matter where it is, well, I shouldn't say no

590
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: matter where it is, more so on the over the

591
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: air channels because that's still the traditional places where people

592
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: going to watch that turn it on and it's there,

593
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: But more and more it's it's kind of gravitating to

594
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: the streaming stuff and it'll be there sooner rather than later.

595
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: The the thing about it is it for you know,

596
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: well for a hundred years, no, hundred seventy five. Yeah,

597
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: it's been free. Just turn your TV on there it is. Yeah, well,

598
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: free TV kind of went out. I mean, none of

599
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: it's free now stept in my house. We didn't have

600
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: cable TV in my house growing up. Did you have

601
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: the tinfoil and you held the tinfoiling? No, we did

602
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: not have rabbit ears. We had an antenna on top

603
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: of our chimney. Yeah, we did that, and we had

604
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: over the air when you get about eight or nine channels,

605
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: and you know, there's a couple of places I lived

606
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, well after I was out

607
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: of the house college days, where you had the rabbit ears.

608
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the whole deal. All right, we gotta take

609
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: a break. But which AFC East rival do you think

610
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: close the gap on the Bills the most following the

611
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL Draft. If you're holding it eight

612
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: oh three, five fifty, stay right where you are. We'll

613
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: get back to you first right after this break here

614
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's

617
00:33:53,840 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: today the draft halls by Buffalo's division rivals. Which AFC

618
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: East rival closed the gap at least on the Bills?

619
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: By no means that we're saying anybody's overtaking the Bills

620
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: in the division. They're clearly the class of the division

621
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: going into this season. But who made up some ground

622
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: on the Bills based on how things turned out in

623
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: the draft for them? Dolphins, Jets, Patriots. You can vote

624
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,680

Speaker 1: in a little while, or you can give us a

626
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: call eight oh three five fifty one, eight eight five

627

Speaker 1: going now, and leading us off today is Jerry and Lavonia.

629
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: What do you have for us Jerry are on one

630
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: Bill's life. Hi Chris, Hi Steve. I say the Jets

631
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: made the biggest improvements. Obviously had some great draft picks,

632
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: and I wanted to ask Steve about how it works

633
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: out for these all these new players coming in. Who

634
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: finds them housing? How does that work, Steve? Because these

635
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: players are moving around there, they must get assistance from

636
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: the Bills organis they they got? Yeah? And and players

637
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: help each other as well. I mean, first of all,

638
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: you know when they come in town, now they just

639
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: they got them in a hotel and they put them off.

640
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: But when they come back and they start to get

641
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: an inkling that, yeah, they think about it. And I

642
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: went through this as a player. I didn't know if

643
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna make the team. I mean I didn't.

644
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: I had no idea if I was even So do

645
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: I get it? Am I gonna go down and put

646
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: a security deposit down on an apartment? And listens back

647
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty five Houston, Texas, It's it's like a

648
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: nine hundred degrees outside. Do I do? I do this?

649
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: And then one of the other rookies and I do,

650
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: we get let's get a room to get we'll room together,

651
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: we'll get a place and we'll live at Okay, great.

652
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I'm gonna be here, bro.

653
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: I mean, you're a fifth round draft pick. You ain't

654
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: going anywhere month to month? Me, I don't know. So

655
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: it's a real problem. And you know, what's a what's

656
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: a good deal? Where do I live? What's you know?

657
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: All of that? And every guy's different too. He's like,

658
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: so if some of these guys come in and these

659
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: days it's like, listen, you're gonna come in and your

00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: mind the store, you know, just to help just give

663
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: you a like a support staff at home, you know,

664
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: like a you know, an emotional support, you know, family,

665
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: so that you can come home. You don't come home

666
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: to an empty place. You're gonna have somebody. You can't live,

667
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: don't live by yourself, bro, So you know that, who's

668
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: that gonna be? How are they gonna help out all

669
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: of that? It's it is an issue for every guy,

670
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: and every guy is different. They do have people on staff, Yeah,

671
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: they got tea and they assist helping players, whether it's

672
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: rookies or veteran free agents. Like you know, you got

673
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: a guy like von Miller, he's gonna want a house

674
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: like and money really isn't an object. So player development

675
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: help help him with a real estate agent to find

676
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: some neighborhoods that you know, fit what he's looking for.

677
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: Somebody's get like a case Keendom or Ryan Fitzpatrick. They come,

678
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: they come rolling into town. They got to pass ale

679
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: of kids and they've got there in at they got

680
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: to establish life with a wife and kids, and they

681
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 1: got routines and it's and it's an upheaval for them.

682
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: It's not like they haven't done it before. But you're

683
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: so they know, they kind of know how what they're

684
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: doing because they've done it once or twice before. But

685
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: still every city's different, and you need a couple of

686
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: you need a couple of phone numbers to call so

687
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: saying hey, what about this? What about a place? What

688
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: about this? What about schools? You know? What about childcare?

689
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: What about you know? All these you know, real life

690
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: questions got to be answered. And like I said, it's

691
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: easier for veterans who have had to do it once

692
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: or twice before. But for a rookie coming out. Think

693
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: about what you do when you go to college. Think

694
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: about what you're doing when you were twenty one. Yeah,

695
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: here you go. Here's your key to your room. You

696
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: go up there, you can move right in. Go ahead

697
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: and take your box of stuff up and your mom

698
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: will make your bed for you. And you know what

699
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it. And here and you're gonna die.

700
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: Your dining hall is over here, and they know they

701
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 1: can take them by the hand. This is your dining

702
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: hall over here's the lie bry and this is where

703
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: you're gonna live. So you know, right, here's your laundry room.

704
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: Now you come up, it's like here you go. You're

705
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: you're in this city here, good luck like you you know,

706
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: some of these guys aren't equipped to do that. They've

707
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: never had to do it before. It's the first time.

708
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: And there's an inherent desire on the part of the

709
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: franchise to help take care of a lot of those

710
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: things with them so they can focus on football, because

711
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: that's where they want their focused to be. They've got

712
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: they got, yes, they got people in this building that

713
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: will reach out and say, Okay, what do you need,

00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: What kind of place do you need? How close do

Speaker 1: you want to drive? What kind of you know? Do

00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: a house? Do you have a car or you're driving

721
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: a car up here? You need to buy a car?

722
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: All all everything, and you're here, You're right. It's a

723
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 1: it's an issue that needs to be addressed on every team,

724
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: every offseason and every training camp and and like here

725
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: more in your life. That's what you're doing. I had

726
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: to call for your career the last day of the

727
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: final cuts. I was sitting there going, man, there, you know,

728
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: am I getting a phone call? Here? The deadlines four

729
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: o'clock for them to make these calls, and it's like

730
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: three fifty eight. Yeah. I picked up. I go, hey,

00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: does anybody want to talk to me? Over there? She

00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: was what? She goes, I go to listen. I don't.

733
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: I don't do I get a place to live here?

734
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: What what's the deal? She goes, Oh, yeah, Steve, I

735
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 1: saw the list. You're fine. That's how I found out

736
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: I made the team. Since you're fine, I'm like, fine, thanks,

737
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: appreciate the update. Thank you show all right, Yeah, let's

738
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: go back to the phones. We go to Kennon Lackawanna X.

739
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: What do you got first? Ken? Hi, guys, I think

740
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: the Jets made up the most ground, but I think

741
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: Miami might be the closest to us this year in

742
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: terms of wins and losses. You mean, yes, right, But anyway,

743
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: I about the punter we've got, am I the only

744
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: one that's concerned about the long draft that he has

745
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: from his hand to his foot in the winds of

746
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. I haven't heard anything anything said about that.

747
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: A long drop. Yeah, the time, the distance, and the

748
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: time from his hand to the time he kicks it.

749
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: Do you think he's got a high drop? Do you?

750
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: I do think that? Yeah? You know what, I haven't

751
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: watched him punt that closely. I'm gonna watch it again.

752
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: I know. One thing that I don't know is what

753
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: we're looking at now, is his drop looks exactly like

754
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: it does. He's a right handed, a right left footed punter. Uh.

755
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it drops high? Well, it's it looks

756
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: like it's too high for Orchard parks wins. Well, some listen.

757
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes there is no there is no depth, there is

758
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: no drop low enough. You're right. Uh, And it's an issue.

759
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: That's something he's gonna have to work on. Uh. And

760
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: it's something to be concerned about. If it was true,

761
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't the only thing and I

762
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: didn't realize this until I heard Darren Bennett, the former

763
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers punter, say, this arise as a left

764
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: footed punter, but he's right handed. Um, and he drops

765
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: his offhand, so he drops with the you know, he

766
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: drops left handed, and that when you drop with the

767
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: wrong hand, you know, it's you gotta do it right.

768
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to do. You gotta do. You

769
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: want the drop, You're right. The drop is really key

770
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: for a punter. I mean it's really really important. Yeah,

771
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: And he's and to drop it left handed. It's kind

772
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: of funky. Ken's concern is valid. I mean I remember

773
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: talking to Brian Mormon about it on windy days and

774
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: he said, in that stadium when it is really windy,

775
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: there are times when he would drop the ball out

776
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: of his hand, and from the time it dropped his

777
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 1: hand to the time it hit his foot, it would

778
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: sometimes move over six inches. Yeah, and you have to

779
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 1: adjust your foot to make sure you're making clean contact

780
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: with the ball, otherwise it's shank city. So it is

781
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: a real thing. I'm sure that he, along with Special

782
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: Teams coordinate Math Special Teams Coordinator Matthew Smiley, will have

783
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: that ironed out and worked on. I mean, who knows.

784
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: They may bring in a big industrial fan and blow

785
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: it across the field right next and he's not to

786
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: get him used to it. Whatever it takes. An ain't

787
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: time you want to get into a discussion about that.

788
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: The same thing for every other punter. Yeah, it's the

789
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: exact same concern, So it doesn't put you to disadvantage

790
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: unless he can't adjust to it. But his drops don't

791
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: look higher than any I've seen, So whatever problem is

792
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: he has, everybody else will have as well. I've heard

793
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: more concerns about his inexperience holding for field goals than

794
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: I have anything else, And for me, that's not that's

795
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: not a real concern for me. You did it, I

796
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: did it. I did it a little bit in college.

797
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: A little bit in college. I did a little bit

798
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: at some of the pros as well, And hey, all

799
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: you needed some reps, Just go out and practice. It's

800
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: just like catching anything. It'll be interesting to see though

801
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: as well. It'll be easy for me. I think it'll

802
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: be easier for the guys holding from Matt Ariza than

803
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: anybody else because he's left footed. And when you're on

804
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: your what would be you get down on your left knee,

805
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: your right knee is up and you're looking to your

806
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: left at the snapper. Your right hand is on the

807
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: bottom and it's at your dominant hand kick right, so

808
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: your right hand is in a better position to be

809
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: the one on top of the ball that's even get

810
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 1: a kick. I like the fact that you got Tyler.

811
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: I like the holders for for a right Uh, well

812
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: that's a that's a bass. It's not we're holding for.

813
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, we'll take a break here. Morir phone

814
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 1: calls coming up next here on One Bill's Live, Stay tuned.

815
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,479
Speaker 1: Which AFC East rival close the gap on the Bills

816
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: the most following the twenty twenty two NFL Draft. That's

817
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: what's on the Twitter poll for you today. Obviously, vote

818
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: one of those three division opponents and we'll get to

819
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: where the pole stands in just a second. But in

820
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: the meantime, we have to get back to the phones

821
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: at eight three, five fifty and go to DJ on

822
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: a sale. What you got first, DJ? Yeah? How you doing,

823
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: Stephen Chris good? Listen. On the twenty twenty, we had

824
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: a bye week. I'm Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah. We looked it

825
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: up and saw said I was just listening. I didn't

826
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: know if he got word of it or no. And Uh,

827
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: I have something I want to say and get your response.

828
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: I'll hang up and listen. I was listening. I had

829
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: to turn to radio and I was listening to Jodie Mack.

830
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: And at the end of the draft, he made a

831
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: statement that the bill said the worst draft in the league.

832
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: What you have to say about that? Yeah, I actually

833
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: heard that. I believe it was right at the tail

834
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: end of the draft and I heard. I heard what

835
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: he said. Here's the problem. This guy that's a national

836
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: radio broadcaster. I think he's on CBS Sports Radio, which

837
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: is carried on gr overnight. Um. Yeah. The problem with

838
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: his assessment is this, He's looking at the players that

839
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: are being drafted and he sees James Cook as a

840
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: second round pick, and he could not he didn't think

841
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: it was a good pick. For the Bills, and I'm like, seriously, like,

842
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: I think he looked at him purely as a running

843
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: back and did not look at how he could diversify

844
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: a pass game and an offense that really only runs

845
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: the ball about sixteen to eighteen times a game. They

846
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: throw at forty five times a game. So is it

847
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: advantageous and beneficial to have a running back who looks

848
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: like a receiver with his skills? I think it is.

849
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Steve and I have already told you this

850
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: guy's I don't know about Steve, but this is my

851
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 1: favorite pick in the entire class. And I like Shakier

852
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: a lot. I like Cook better than that because he

853
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: is going to diversify the passing game more because of

854
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,479
Speaker 1: the position he plays in the skill set he brings

855
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: to that position, which in my opinion doesn't really didn't

856
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: really exist on this roster prior Duke Johnson. But we

857
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: haven't seen Duke Johnson in this offense either. So for me,

858
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: hearing that, to me, that's just a person that's looking

859
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: at the Bills from afar. So I think sometimes some

860
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: of these national guys, some of them really do their

861
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: homework and they're totally plugged into what all thirty two

862
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: teams are doing. Some and more of them tend to

863
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: not be as plugged in. Cook is a perfect pick

864
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: for this Bill's offense. And if you feel otherwise, I

865
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: just don't think you're as informed as to what this

866
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: team is and what this team needed going into the draft. Yeah, well,

867
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: I agree, we were on We're both on record as saying, well,

868
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: the first two picks of this draft are going to

869
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: be on the field and contributing on opening on the

870
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: opening drive of opening day. In my opinion, Um, certainly,

871
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: Elam is and and we both think Cook will be.

872
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: He'll have a role questionably, So yeah, I and and listen,

873
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: I people can say what they want about the Bills draft. Um,

874
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: I liked it. I liked it a lot. Elam is

875
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: an ABS salute, perfect fit, so is Cook for and

876
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: people were wanting the Bills to get Bruce Hall. I

877
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: don't know that this guy might not fit better with

878
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: what the Bills would like to do. Now. I'm not

879
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: saying this guy's gonna be able to or whatever, but

880
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: certainly he has better and a more proven record in

881
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: a passing game than Bruce Hall does. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah,

882
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: you're always gonna find people a poop who everybody's draft

883
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: or anybody's draft. There were some people. There was one

884
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: guy I saw who gave the Bills the exact same

885
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: draft grade as the New England Patriots. I mean, yeah,

886
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: what are you looking at? And truthfully, nobody knows because

887
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: we don't know. Really, you can't evaluate a draft class

888
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: until two or three years later and accurately determine, Hey,

889
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: this was a good pick for them because of A,

890
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: B and C. This was maybe they could they could

891
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: have done better here because of these reasons. So you know,

892
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: everybody loves draft grades. They want to know, hey, how

893
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: did this how did this team last weekend? I need

894
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: to know now, And that's why we see draft grades

895
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: out there. But in the grand scheme of things, there's

896
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of value to them because they're

897
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: based on a projection. And even if we came out

898
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: and said it, just as much as the picks are

899
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: based on a projection, right, yeah, exactly, you could. We

900
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: could say the Bills drafted better than anybody else in

901
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:22,959
Speaker 1: the NFL, and it means the same thing. He didn't

902
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: like the Shakier pick either, so as soon as he

903
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: said that I turned the state. You know, I turned

904
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: the dial because to me, it just said he's not

905
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: plugged in to what the Bills need to add to

906
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: their roster to be better. And I will say this.

907
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned Bruce Hall, who was ranked as a better

908
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: overall back than Cook and went off the board before

909
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: him to the Jets. But for me, for what fits

910
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: the Bills the best, I would argue it's Cook. For

911
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 1: this reason. Bruce Hall can catch the football out of

912
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: the backfield, He's certainly capable of doing that, but he

913
00:48:55,360 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: didn't run the kinds of routes that Jane Cook ran.

914
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: James Cook, I would argue, is one of the most

915
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: polished route runners at the running back position in the

916
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: entire class. And so because of that reason, he is

917
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: ready made to step into this passing attack and make

918
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: a difference. I don't know if Breece Hall could have

919
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: had the impact in the passing games specifically that James

920
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: Cook will have this year. Yeah, I would agree, U. Yeah,

921
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: so take heart. I wouldn't. I would take less stock

922
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: in the national guys that are trying to espouse on

923
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: the entire league and tend to lean more towards the

924
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: people that around the team more often every day. That's right,

925
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: and that that means like me and Brownie. Sometimes we

926
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: disagree on how good this draft might be. Certainly we

927
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: disagree with some of the local guy like Sal and

928
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: show Up and the Bulldog and Howard and Jared, all

929
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: the guys and the more, all the guys on this

930
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: radio station throughout the day. We all have our different

931
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: aspect takes on this draft. But I would say all

932
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: those guys that I just listed were probably more in

933
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: tune with what the Bills were, where they were at

934
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: before the draft, and where they are now than a

935
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: lot of the national guys. Yeah, we take a break

936
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: here because when we come back, we will be discussing

937
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: the Jets draft. A lot of people, especially on our

938
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: poll right now, believe the Jets did the best of

939
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: the division opponents in the AFC East for the Bills.

940
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: We will go up and down that draft board and

941
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: draft class next with New York Jets dot Com senior

942
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: director and reporter Eric Allen. He's coming up next here

943
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's

944
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:56,919
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio at a Steve Tasker who has spent

945
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: all over the Fields kind of unique. He was kind

946
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:05,919
Speaker 1: of a dual role player. Steve, Steve a blimp. We're

947
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: not even in the strated fere of normalcy alright, Hour

948
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: number two on a Wednesday, Chris Round Steve Tasker with

949
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: you one Bills Live in the show talking about what

950
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: came out of the draft for the rest of the

951
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: AFC East. And we've got our Twitter poll up at

952
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. Be sure to get on there and

953
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: vote in terms of who you thought made up the

954
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 1: most ground on the Bills coming out of the twenty

955
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: twenty two draft. But here to talk about the draft

956
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: class that is getting the most notoriety for the haul

957
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: that was made down in New Jersey. It's New York

958
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: Jets senior director and reporter Eric Allen joining us on

959
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,720
Speaker 1: the line to kind of elaborate on the Jets draft class.

960
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: I want to congratulate you, Eric, on having the shortest

961
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: draft weekend responsibilities on the planet because the team was

962
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: done by the fourth round, were probably home by six o'clock.

963
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm brown of you too much. Yeah, when we saw

964
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: that we were one ering at the end of Night two,

965
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: whether it was too good to be true, But yes, indeed,

966
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: the Jets were done after the one hundred and seventeenth

967
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: overall selection there early in the fourth round, watching Day

968
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: three at home. Yeah, and we were talking to earlier

969
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: in the show. Their top four picks, three of them,

970
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 1: at least with the exception of maybe Jermaine Johnson, three

971
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: of them were the top player at their spot, their

972
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: position group in this draft. Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, and

973
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: Bruce Hall the best corner the best wide out, and

974
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: the best running back maybe in this draft, certainly in

975
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: the top one or two of each position group, and

976
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: the Jets got all three of them. It must it's

977
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: got to. They've got to feel really like they got

978
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: better offensively and then solidified their cornerback spot even to

979
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: a further extent. Yeah, they certainly got better across the

980
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: board with that number four overall selection. I think the

981
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: front office was looking at Houston and saying, well, maybe

982
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: they're the wild card. Now when that pick goes into

983
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: Derek Stingley, the Jets knew they had Sauce Gardner. He's

984
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: gonna come in and fill a major I don't want

985
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: to say a whole, but he's gonna come in, and

986
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: this secondary has totally been transformed here throughout the offseason.

987
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: He had a guy like Gardner, who was a number

988
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: one cornerback at Cincinnati, who thrived when he's playing a

989
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: league competition. We saw that against Alabama in the National Semifinal.

990
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: Here's a kid who is long, he's rangy, he's got

991
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: four four one speed, he plays with swagger, a nine interceptions,

992
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: he never gave up a touchdown during his college career.

993
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: That's really saying something. So he's gonna come in and

994
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 1: man one of those positions on the outside. When you

995
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 1: guys got people inside the a FC's like Stefan Daggs,

996
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs and Gabriel Davis, theren in Buffalo, you kneed

997
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: to upgrade that secondary and the Jets have done that

998
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: in a big way. We can talk about DJ reading

999
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: free agency, but then at the number ten overall selection, Steve,

1000
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,720
Speaker 1: the Jets want to add playmakers for the young quarterback

1001
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: in Zach Wilson, so they went out and got another

1002
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: playmaker and Garrett will sit and then four and ten.

1003
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: If you go home that night, you'd be okay. From

1004
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 1: a Jets perspective, you'd be feeling pretty good. But once

1005
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: the draft hit about selection number fifteen Robert Salez and

1006
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas's ears saying you gotta go get Jermaine Johnson.

1007
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas called every team in between fifteen and twenty

1008
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: six before he made that trade with the Tennessee Titans.

1009
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 1: And this team was over the moon excited when Jermaine

1010
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: Johnson fell to them at twenty six. And Joe Douglas

1011
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: he said he's going to be aggressive and boy wasn't. Yeah,

1012
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: And then you know, day two comes rolling around and

1013
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: all the running backs are still on the board after

1014
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: nobody gets taken in round one, and you know, you

1015
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: land Breeze Hall, who brings four three nine speed to

1016
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: the backfield and you know, really is a true home

1017
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: run threat from a speed perspective if he gets through

1018
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: the second level. How are you expecting the running back

1019
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,439
Speaker 1: workload to work? Because I know they were very happy

1020
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: with Michael Carter, their rookie last year. I think they're

1021
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: both going to get a number of touches and that's

1022
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: a very deep backfield. Suddenly, and when you're talking about

1023
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 1: Michael Carter, who they got in the fourth round twenty

1024
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: twenty one draft, like you mentioned, and he led the

1025
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: team with six hundred plus yards rushing last year, an

1026
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: impress of four point three yards per carry. But you, Brownie,

1027
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: you talked about the home run threat. Garrett Wilson and

1028
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: Breeze Hall. Give this team two home run threats. Wilson's

1029
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: a sub four four guy himself with twenty three touchdowns

1030
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 1: in thirty three games at Ohio State. And Breece Hall

1031
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: what really stands out about him not just the production.

1032
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: He had eleven school records that Iowa State, including fifty

1033
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: rush touchdowns fifty six total touchdowns. But here's a back

1034
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: who's two hundred and seventeen pounds and he runs four

1035
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: three nine. But getting back to your question, listen of

1036
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: Michael la Fleur. He wants to have different options and

1037
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: the jet's gonna come at you in waves. But these

1038
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: two guys, specifically, this is all about accelerating and development

1039
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: development of the young quarterback in Zach Wilson. And they

1040
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: think they've done this in a big way with Wilson

1041
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 1: and then Breeze All. Yeah, And if you talk about

1042
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: how this draft they ended up with twelve picks or

1043
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: I'm sorry they started out with a bunch of picks,

1044
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: they ended up with seven guys after jumping back up

1045
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: to get Jermaine Johnson, gives a little taste of Jeremy

1046
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: Rutgert the tight end out of Ohio State. You got

1047
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: two Ohio State guys off that offense coming into the

1048
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 1: room along with the tackle Max Mitchell and Michael Clemens

1049
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: as well. Give us an idea about what their plans

1050
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: are for Ruckert the tight end. Well, it's fascinating, questions, Steve,

1051
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: because the Jets already entered the draft having transformed the

1052
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: tight own position. Because in free agency did Time assigned

1053
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: former Sistani Bengals tight end CJ Zama and former Vikings

1054
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: tight on Tyler Conklin. Those guys produced more than one

1055
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: hundred and ten receptions combined last season for nearly eleven

1056
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: hundred yards receiving. So a lot of people were thinking, well,

1057
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: maybe the Jets don't go tight on there in a

1058
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: third round. But what stands out about Rutger is he

1059
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: is a guy who didn't catch a ton of balls

1060
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. But remember he played on a roster

1061
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: with a Garrett Wilson with a crystal love with the

1062
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,959
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams a couple of years ago. It's a wide

1063
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: receiver university there at Ohio State. He's a strong blocker,

1064
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: and he got opportunities to catch the football down in Mobile,

1065
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: Alabama at the Senior Bowl. Oh by the way, the

1066
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: Jets staff coached him up in Mobile, so that was

1067
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: such an advantage for the Jets during this process. And

1068
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: the other cool thing about his story Rutgers. He grew

1069
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: up on Long Island. His family are Jets fans. They

1070
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: were having a huge party when he got taken in

1071
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: the third round. Max Mitchell come back with him in

1072
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: the fourth round. Another guy participated in the Senior Bowl.

1073
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: He's got experienced playing across the line, left tackle, right tackle,

1074
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: and guard for the Jets. He projects as a tackle.

1075
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: He's going to give you some depth right now. You

1076
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: enter the offseason in training camp, there's gonna be a

1077
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: battle that left tackle position between between George Fan and

1078
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: McKay Beckton. But you get another piece there who they

1079
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: like in terms of his development. And finally, Michael Clements

1080
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: out of Texas A and m really excelled last season

1081
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: playing in the conference and playing in the top conference

1082
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: in the country at Texas AM. Big guy, strong hands,

1083
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: plays violent and Robert Sala loves his defensive a line rotation.

1084
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: So you add two guys up there up front here

1085
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: in this draft, and not only Jermaine Johnson, but Clemmons. Yeah, Clement,

1086
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean he's got thirty five inch arms. I mean,

1087
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: you're an offensive tackle. You can't get your hands on

1088
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: him because his hands are on you already. So I

1089
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: saw some people that were comparing him to you know,

1090
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: another guy on the roster, John Franklin Myers. They were saying,

1091
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: he's a similar type player. Do you do you kind

1092
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: of see that watching his film or yeah, I think

1093
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: it's a fair comparison. And Robert Sali lights guys who

1094
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: are along and he definitely fits that mold. And you

1095
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: see his film. He's so strong, he's constantly getting an

1096
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: opposition backfield, and the Jets are really outgraded the defensive

1097
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: line position. Brownie Carl Lawson was the best player on

1098
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: the field last summer. He's coming back from an achilles.

1099
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: Now if he comes back, you're adding him. You're adding

1100
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson and the Clemmons to the rotation as well.

1101
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: And then the defensive interior. The Jets love Quinnon Williams,

1102
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: one of the best young defensive tackles in the game.

1103
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: He got Sheldon Rankins there. So you're is better and

1104
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: so is your front line. Tell them, so you enter

1105
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: this this offseason, you know, not knowing these guys are here.

1106
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: Which of these seven guys, if any, are there any

1107
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: of them that are in jeopardy and maybe having a

1108
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: hard time making the fifty three. I mean, certainly the

1109
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: practice squad is in destination for all of them who don't.

1110
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: But you got a chance at all seven of these

1111
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: draft picks being that could because they did finish and

1112
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: they're all fourth rounders. At least they're all gonna be

1113
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: on the fifty three, will they not. I can't imagine

1114
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: any of those guys not being here. Like you mentioned,

1115
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: the Jets had two fourth rounders and they were the

1116
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and eleventh and one hundred and seventeenth picks. Overall.

1117
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't see any scenario where Mitchell or a Clements

1118
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: isn't here. And the other thing about this draft that

1119
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,479
Speaker 1: is so historic. This is the first time the Jets

1120
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: had three first round picks since two thousand when they

1121
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: had the four aces the draft with Johnny Abraham, Sean Ellis,

1122
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: Anthony Back, Chad Pennington, of course, and this is only

1123
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 1: the third time since nineteen seventy that the Jets had

1124
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: four picks in the top forty overall, moving up to

1125
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: get Haul, moving up to get Jermaine Johnson, so that

1126
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: was four picks in the top thirty six. All those

1127
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: guys are expected right away to be impact players those

1128
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: first four. Yeah, I mean, Eric, I know the proofs

1129
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: into pudding, as Robert Sale has said himself, but I

1130
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: have to imagine that the organization feels like building blocks.

1131
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: While they may not be let's just say peeking, because

1132
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 1: they are so young, that foundational pieces are potentially in

1133
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: place now for this team going forward. And while you

1134
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: know it might not all reach critical mass necessarily this

1135
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: year in the form of a playoff, Berth, I think

1136
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: it's I think we can all bet on the Jets

1137
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: being a much tougher out this year in twenty twenty two.

1138
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: Totally agree with that. Listen, it's all going to come

1139
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: back to the cornerback of the quarterback Zach Wilson entering

1140
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: his second year. But what the Jets have done here,

1141
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 1: it's not going to be all on his shoulders where

1142
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,959
Speaker 1: he's got to make plays up by himself. They've set

1143
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: this up where offensive line wise, they added Lincoln Thomason,

1144
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: a Pro bowler at guard. I talked about George Fan

1145
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: McKay back then. They think they have the best or

1146
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 1: one of the best guard combinations in the National Football

1147
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: League with Elijah Vera, Tucker and Lank and Thomason. The

1148
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: reason why I mentioned that is this offense is gonna

1149
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: be predicated on running the football. You talked about the

1150
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: tight ends Rucker added to the mix, included in addition

1151
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: to those free agents, and then at the wide receiver position,

1152
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: he had Elijah Moore last year. Corey Davis is coming back,

1153
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: He's going to be healthy. He resigned Braxton Barrios, Garrett

1154
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Wilson back into the equation, so this is not all

1155
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 1: on Zach Wilson. And defensively you should be a lot

1156
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 1: better as well. This secondary has really transformed. I mentioned

1157
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: DJ Reid before. Sauce Gardner is going to come in

1158
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: and play immediately on the outside. But you also added

1159
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Whitehead, who's got championship pedigree from the Tampa Bay

1160
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Buccaneers and free agency, and he's just twenty five years

1161
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 1: old and he's a guy flies all over the field.

1162
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: He's an assassin back there, a defensive line, you're gonna

1163
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: be better up front. Yeah, this team is ready to

1164
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 1: take some steps forward. They know they have to close

1165
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: the gap inside the division. You guys know it better

1166
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: than anybody out there. The Bills eleven and one in

1167
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: the division the last two years, the Jets looking for

1168
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: their first division win under Robert Sala. He's going to

1169
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: continue to strust to this team. We have to close

1170
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: the gap inside the afcast. They have taken steps throughout

1171
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: this offseason where they have closed the gap. It's going

1172
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see. I think the Bills going

1173
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: to this season definitely a big time favorite to be

1174
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: a three pete a division winner. But how is the

1175
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: other team is going to shake out? With the Patriots,

1176
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, and of course the Jets. So that's

1177
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: the offseason. Robert Sala and the front office is kind

1178
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 1: of limited media availability up to this point. But if

1179
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 1: you notice now Robert Salo headed into his second year,

1180
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: what's different about him, how his what's his message to

1181
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: his team's what is his stance about the Jets taking

1182
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: this step forward? How is he handling it? And this

1183
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: obviously this you know the Jets seem like they're on

1184
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: the move and in the right direction. Where does Robert

1185
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Sala fit in all of this and how does the

1186
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: media perceiving his message and what he's done to get

1187
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,919
Speaker 1: better himself in the second year of his head coach.

1188
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: I'd say Salo was a perfect man for this job

1189
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: because him and Joe Douglas decided last year that they

1190
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: were going to play young players and whatever the result

1191
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: was was the result. But they needed to play young players,

1192
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: and I believe they were first in the National Football

1193
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 1: League in terms of rookies and first year players I

1194
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: mean second year of players start, and then second in snaps.

1195
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: So they did that last year. This team is going

1196
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: to continue to be young. But what we saw from

1197
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Sala and his staff last year is they are good teachers,

1198
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:16,439
Speaker 1: they're good motivators, they relate to the players, and him

1199
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: and Joe Douglas are together in lockstep. Joe Douglas said

1200
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: it Steve even prior to this draft. He said, we

1201
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: have to be playing meaningful games in December. That is

1202
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: the expectation for the Jets this year. Last one I've

1203
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: got for you, e A, is the Beckton situation. It

1204
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 1: seemed a little murky earlier in the offseason. Has there

1205
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: been any clarity on that front from the front office. Well,

1206
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,919
Speaker 1: we know this that he's working out on his own.

1207
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: You guys know this. Voluntary workouts right now, so the

1208
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:51,919
Speaker 1: guys aren't required to be here by the CBA. We've

1209
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:56,439
Speaker 1: heard reports that he's working really well. Robert Sala joked

1210
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: about it. He said, well, welcome you back anytime you

1211
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: want to come back, big guy. With that being said,

1212
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: George Fan and Beckton are gonna go at it in

1213
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: training camp in terms of who's the left tackle, who's

1214
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: the other guy? Is not going to be the left tackle.

1215
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: The assumption here is he's going to be the right tackle.

1216
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's gonna be a big offseason for McKay

1217
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Beckton once he returns to one Jets Drive. Thanks a lot, man, Eric,

1218
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: thanks for being on with us. It's great. We can

1219
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: see it from here the Jet. It kind of makes

1220
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: us stick to our stomach. But the Jets really did

1221
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: see you, right, I mean, they really did kill it.

1222
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: They don't do that that often. They haven't done that

1223
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: in the passing man, oh man, it's hard to poke holes.

1224
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: And what they did over draft week in this last week. Yeah, listen,

1225
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 1: if you told us in January that this is how

1226
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: it was going to play out, not only with the draft,

1227
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: but with free agency as well, Joe Douglas would probably

1228
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: be doing backflips. He'd be so excited. So yeah, it

1229
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: worked out, and there's a great alignment between these two

1230
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: guys in Douglas and Sala and for everybody inside the

1231
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: AFC East fellas. I know New England had that great run,

1232
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 1: but when you think of young teams or who's set

1233
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: up good foundations, you look at the Bills with being

1234
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: a McDermott and how many times they've been in the

1235
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: playoffs and how they have that continuity in the system,

1236
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: familiarity in alignment. That's what other teams are striving for,

1237
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: and I think the Jets are well on their way

1238
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: to getting to that point because Sala and Douglas have

1239
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: them in a real good standing from a leadership perspective,

1240
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: in a vision perspective. Great stuff, Eric, Thanks again, We'll

1241
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: catch up with you down the line. All right, i'd

1242
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: be good. Enjoy some time off. Enjoy it, guys, take care.

1243
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: All right. That's Eric Allen, New York Jets Senior director

1244
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: and reporter, for New York Jets dot Com, and you know,

1245
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: you try to formulate thoughts about how the division could

1246
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: shake out this year, and I'm telling you, this Jets

1247
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 1: team could win like, you know, seven maybe eight games

1248
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 1: if they There's a lot to put together there, and

1249
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: as Eric said, a lot of it's gonna fall on

1250
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: how the quarterback is performing. There's no debate about that.

1251
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 1: But he's got a support system around him. Now. You know,

1252
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: he's got a receiving corps that can make plays for him.

1253
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: He's got two running backs that can be productive, you

1254
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 1: know where if you've got to start running the ball

1255
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more to back a team off so

1256
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: they're not teeing off on your quarterback. It looks like

1257
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: they're in position to do that. They've invested in their

1258
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 1: offensive line each of the last two years. Their defensive

1259
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: front looks deeper and it's certainly talented. So you know,

1260
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: you roll all that together and I think the Jets

1261
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: are gonna be a little bit tougher out than they've

1262
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: been in recent years. And let's not forget this too, Steve.

1263
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about the Dolphins and how they're probably Buffalo's

1264
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: closest competition in this division. We shouldn't forget this. They've

1265
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: got a whole new coaching staff with new schemes and everything,

1266
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 1: and they're still trying to figure out who fits and

1267
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: who doesn't, let alone execution on a Sunday. They've kind

1268
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: of got you know, they're a little different. You know,

1269
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 1: they got the same six games that the Buffalo Bills

1270
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,799
Speaker 1: do in the division. But they and they play the Packers,

1271
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 1: the Browns, the Vikings and the ray you know, the

1272
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 1: AFC North, the Bengals, Ravens, Brown, Steelers, and then they

1273
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: play they play Denver, Jacksonville, Seattle. Uh yeah, that's yeah.

1274
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: The Jets are gonna win some games. Um, And I

1275
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: think there is a chance they play meaningful games in December.

1276
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: I really do. I don't know how long. And I

1277
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 1: I like where the Bills aren't like what they've done.

1278
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 1: But they are eleven and one, as he said, eleven

1279
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,679
Speaker 1: and one over the last two years in the division.

1280
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: And the game they lost was a close game to

1281
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots in a forty mile an hour wins, um,

1282
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: where the Patriots weren't even forced to you know, throw

1283
01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, they're but how long does that last?

1284
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: How long does that last before you know, you trip

1285
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: over your yourself rather than even get beat. Yeah, just

1286
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: have a bad day eleven and one of the division.

1287
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: That's that's a big mountain for those teams to climb.

1288
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 1: But the Jets got to feel like they're gonna get better.

1289
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna have some guys that can actually make some

1290
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: plays and Salah and the stability they have going into

1291
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 1: year two, I think it's gonna be a big difference

1292
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: maker for some of these guys and give them more

1293
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 1: consistent play. So yeah, I am. The more we talk

1294
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: about it, I think the Jets are the team that

1295
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: could take a significant step forward. I I do put

1296
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 1: them ahead of Miami because Miami's got a brand new

1297
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,839
Speaker 1: head coach. Everything's gonna be brand new down there, the culture,

1298
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: the players, the staff. It's hard harding year one. It's

1299
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,599
Speaker 1: hard to take a step forward, which is what they

1300
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: wanted to do, and there's no it's just no way.

1301
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be able to even if it's

1302
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: just a step sideways, even they kind of hang on

1303
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: to where they were. I still think the Jets got

1304
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: reason to believe they can do it this year. So

1305
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: we'll see. And of course the Patriots. They seem to

1306
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: win games with Division two talent, but they've done it

1307
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: that way for a long time. They draft differently than everybody,

1308
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: everybody differently, and sometimes it works for him, sometimes it

1309
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 1: doesn't for those wondering. You know, the Patriots had the

1310
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 1: most picks of any team in the division. They had

1311
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: ten total. The Bills had eight, the Jets had seven.

1312
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: Miami only had four after the Tyreek Hill trade, so

1313
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 1: Miami was limited in what they could do in the

1314
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: draft to enhance their roster. Got Channing Tindall in the

1315
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: third round, they got a wide receiver out of Texas

1316
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: Tech and round four, an outside linebacker in round seven

1317
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: along with a quarterback. So I think Miami, based on

1318
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: what they had to work with, really didn't get much

1319
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: out of the draft. And I know they'll tell you,

1320
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, Tyreek Hill is their draft, right, Yeah, Okay,

1321
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play defense, no, and the defense conceivably

1322
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:05,760
Speaker 1: is going to change yet again because you're in a

1323
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: new scheme. And their first their first pick of the

1324
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 1: draft was in fourth round, which is where the which

1325
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: was after or in the third round or a third round?

1326
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: Wait is it? Yeah? Round three? Picked one O two Okay,

1327
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: So the Jets had five of their draft picks before

1328
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins picked their first. Wore they were even on

1329
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 1: the clock before they're even on the clock. Yeah. Um.

1330
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: And New England, you know, you can say what you want.

1331
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: They did draft two corners. That was a positional need

1332
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: for them. They drafted two running backs. I don't know

1333
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: that they needed two, but they did it, big hulking guys.

1334
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 1: And as much as people were joking about the Ravens,

1335
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: you know, still drafting tight ends and running backs this

1336
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: year and saying, oh, well, it looks like it looks

1337
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: like the Ravens are gonna run fifteen personnel all year. Um,

1338
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 1: joking about how many tight ends they have. You look

1339
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,599
Speaker 1: at what the Patriots did. It looks like you're gonna

1340
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: run the ball even more than they did last year,

1341
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 1: taking two more running backs. I know they lost Brandon

1342
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: Bolden in free agency, he went to the Raiders, but

1343
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: they drafted two corners in round three and four, and

1344
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: then they drafted running backs in round four and six.

1345
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: And they also drafted that quarterback from Western Kentucky who

1346
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,679
Speaker 1: lit up the stat sheet last year. And Bailey's zappy

1347
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,719
Speaker 1: through for almost six thousand yards and sixty two touchdown.

1348
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 1: I was half joking when I said this, But bailey'sz

1349
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 1: appy goes in there. Does he have a better arm

1350
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: than Mac? I don't know if he's got a better arm,

1351
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: but if he's more productive. Bill Belichick doesn't care. No,

1352
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't care. How good I mean, certainly, I mean

1353
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: just getting out of bed in the morning. He's got

1354
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: to be a better athlete than Mac Jones. Yeah, I'll

1355
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: be honest, I have not seen enough of him. I

1356
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 1: really didn't do a ton of homework on the quarterbacks

1357
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:46,560
Speaker 1: this year because I knew the Bills weren't in the

1358
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 1: market for one. But you can't question his productivity. Holy cow. Yeah,

1359
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: he's got some gaudy numbers. He had an unbelievable season,

1360
01:13:55,880 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 1: an unbelievable season Western Kentucky. But the Hilltoppers in the

1361
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, though, I just don't I don't

1362
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 1: know if New England really got appreciably better than they

1363
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: were last year. So you say, oh, well, maybe that's

1364
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 1: still good enough to be ten and seven. You would

1365
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 1: anticipate Mac Jones will be better in year two. That's

1366
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: a fair assumption. I'll go along with that. But he

1367
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: lost his offensive coordinator who's now the head coach in

1368
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. And you know they made some changes. The

1369
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: offensive line has turned over a little bit. Here's the thing.

1370
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:33,919
Speaker 1: Did the Patriot have the payer? They got two corners

1371
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: in mid rounds? Fourth rounders? Are those guys gonna stand

1372
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: up to the Buffalo Bills better than J. C. Jackson

1373
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: was able to with the guy apart from it, we

1374
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: didn't do all that well himself. Well is that defense better?

1375
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 1: A defense that didn't force the Bills to punt in

1376
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: the final two times they played him last season and

1377
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,679
Speaker 1: the bregular season finale and then in the playoffs where

1378
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen hung a one hundred and fifty six something

1379
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 1: quarterback rating on him, was perfect in possessions and touchdowns,

1380
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: never punted, there were a couple of were they It's

1381
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 1: like they never got to a third down? I mean

1382
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 1: they wrung them up in the playoffs, Yeah, I mean

1383
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: wrung them up and they and they got two fourth

1384
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: round corners they're gonna switch out for I don't know, Yeah,

1385
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't know either. And now certainly the line them

1386
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 1: and they got a linebacker made, they got some maybe

1387
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 1: they added a little bit of speed certainly their running

1388
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: backs are different. Uh, you know Jack Jones a cornerback

1389
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: from Arizona State, Marcus Jones a cornerback from Houston, and

1390
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: Marcus Jones is a slot guy. And the guy that

1391
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:45,759
Speaker 1: got that does were And maybe this is an an answered.

1392
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 1: Tae Kwon Thornton's a wide receiver from Baylor, and Taikwon

1393
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Thornton can really go. He can really fly. He's like

1394
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: a tired two Killum. He's very fast. Uh, we'll see.

1395
01:15:55,680 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 1: He was fiftieth overall. Taekwon Thornton was, so, you know, speed,

1396
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: Maybe they got a little extra speed. I don't know

1397
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: how good these corners are going to be. Maybe they're

1398
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 1: the kind of corners that you know, New England likes

1399
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 1: for some reason. You know, they're headsy players, smart guys,

1400
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: are always in the right spot, use technique to win

1401
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But man, oh man, Athletically, they

1402
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: had a mountain to climb and it doesn't look like

1403
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: they even got their hiking boots out. You know. Yeah,

1404
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: I mean it might be bold to say this, but

1405
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: we might get to the end of the season and

1406
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots might be fighting to stay out of the

1407
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: basement of the division. Now again, a lot of it's

1408
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 1: gonna come down to quarterback play. But who's better Mac

1409
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:42,839
Speaker 1: Jones or Zach Wilson this coming year. If Zack Wilson

1410
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 1: takes some strides, he's got more tools than Mac Jones does. Yeah,

1411
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:53,679
Speaker 1: I don't know. I you go online and you look

1412
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,640
Speaker 1: at the video that the Patriots put out, and this

1413
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 1: is their video they put it out, and it's their

1414
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: draft room. When they were calling They're Strange, Cole Strange

1415
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 1: their first round draft pick. It is not a happy room.

1416
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 1: I think there are there are people inside that draft

1417
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: room for the Patriots that are sick to their stomachs

1418
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 1: about who they're piking at in the first round and

1419
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 1: not in the third round. People were You should see

1420
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:27,040
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah's reaction to the New England Patriots grabbing Cole

1421
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: Strange in the first round. His head exploded. He couldn't

1422
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: believe it. And there were guys in the draft room

1423
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: for the Patriots that looked like they were physically ill.

1424
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: They were at a funeral. They looked physically ill making

1425
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:44,759
Speaker 1: that phone call. So it was a surprise. The Patriots

1426
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: have always marched to the beat of their own drummer,

1427
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: They've always drafted with a little bit different philosophy than

1428
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,600
Speaker 1: everybody else, and in a lot of places, not just

1429
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: here with us, they are getting hammered, hammered for their

1430
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: first round pick at least, if not other picks they made,

1431
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: So it's really going to be interesting to see how

1432
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: they put it together. Nobody has had more success than

1433
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:10,719
Speaker 1: they have over the last twenty years. But man, Oman,

1434
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: that's something else that the way they their draft came down.

1435
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,679
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we return, we will

1436
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 1: have a one on one interview with Bill's top draft choice,

1437
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Kayer Elam. He sat down with our own Bills reporter

1438
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab. We'll bring that tonx here on one Bills

01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,000

1440
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: So after he got drafted, Kayer Elam came back up

1441
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, met the media and was had a press

1442
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 1: conference with them. He also had a chance to sit

1443
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: down one on one with our own Bills reporter, Maddie Glab.

1444
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 1: Here is Kaier with Maddie. Maddie Glab Here with one

1445
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: of the newest members of the Buffalo Bills. It's quarterback

1446
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 1: Kaier Elam. We've got some quick, rapid fire questions for you,

1447
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: because a lot of us don't know you yet, so

1448
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: we want to get to know you a little bit better.

1449
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 1: Number one for you, impressions of Buffalo. This is your

1450
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: new new home. You just landed here this afternoon. What

1451
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: are you thinking of the city so far. I think

1452
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: it's great, man. I think it's really something that you know,

1453
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 1: God really blessed me to be here, so I think

1454
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: everything happens for a reason. You know, I couldn't be

1455
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: more excited to get to work. Bill's Mafia is known

1456
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: for being a wild fan base. I know you came

1457
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,600
Speaker 1: from the SEC, so you get it. But what have

1458
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,600
Speaker 1: the interactions been like with Bill's Mafia so far? I

1459
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 1: am sure when you opened up your Twitter after you

1460
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 1: got drafted, the mentions were wild. Yeah, I mean the

1461
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 1: Twitter part. I mean that's kind of something I expected.

1462
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: But as soon as I got off the playing, people

1463
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 1: are like yelling at me like it's happy I was here.

1464
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: So you know that's something I wouldn't used to and

1465
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: I think that's something that I really I love that. Okay,

1466
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 1: the suit, You've got some red in your suit. It's

1467
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 1: it just looks right. It fits right, Did you have

1468
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 1: an idea that Buffalo was gonna draft you here? Because

1469
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: it seems like you got this tailor made for today. Oh,

1470
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: kind of sort of after after my visit here. But

1471
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know it's something I just

1472
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: I just fell in love when when I seen it.

1473
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: So I was scrolling through your Instagram and I came

1474
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: across a picture of Chucky. Yeah, please take me through that.

1475
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 1: Why do you have a picture of Chucky football? It's

1476
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 1: kind of like some tradition like I think Dominic easily started,

1477
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: Uh a university flew like two thirteen or twelve or

1478
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: something like that, and basically just like the defensive players

1479
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: bringing a Chucky daughter to the game, the home game.

1480
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: So that's something I did. Um, I picked up that's

1481
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: I've been since a freshman. I've been doing that so um,

1482
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it has a meeting behind it. It's

1483
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: just something we just always did. It's Chucky coming to Buffalo.

1484
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 1: Nah nah nah, that was just something like a University

1485
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: of Florida. Okay, any hidden talents? What are you cracking

1486
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,680
Speaker 1: my whole entire hand? Oh, I can do left in

1487
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: right all right, that's why he has good hands. Every now,

1488
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: but honestly, any hidden talents. Um, I want a big

1489
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: nature guy. Honestly like a late nature and I like

1490
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: trying different restaurants. Either what's your favorite meal? My favorite meal? Um,

1491
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I create different things sometimes, so um,

1492
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 1: some days I might wanta a good grilled chicken see

1493
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 1: the salad. But some days I wouldn't want to chicken

1494
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 1: wings and fry. Some days I might, or we want

1495
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:36,640
Speaker 1: to try some pasta. So I would create with a

1496
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 1: lot of different things. It just depends on the day.

1497
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Chicken wings and pasta. You're you're in the right place

1498
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,719
Speaker 1: for that. Um. What's the last thing you binge watched

1499
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: on TV? I've been watched? Um, I said, I watched

1500
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: The blind Side again. I watched that so many times

1501
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 1: when I was younger. I just watched it last night.

1502
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: Really yeah, okay, so do you do that after that?

1503
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: Draft watched The Blindside. I didn't go out and didn't

1504
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:02,720
Speaker 1: do nothing that you went home. I was tired. I

1505
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: didn't sleep the day before, so, um. You know, I

1506
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,640
Speaker 1: was traveling, so I didn't get there to sleep. So, UM,

1507
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 1: I just threw that on and fell asleep watching it.

1508
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 1: Have you slept yet? Yes? You knew you got drafted.

1509
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: The nerves are gone. You're gonna be in Buffalo. Okay,

1510
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 1: that's good to hear up. What's the best advice you've

1511
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 1: gotten from your dad and your uncle? The best device?

1512
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,799
Speaker 1: I don't I can't point out one single thing, honestly,

1513
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:31,600
Speaker 1: but you know, I think the biggest thing for me,

1514
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 1: I would just say, just drive your self improvement. And

1515
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: also everything's in evaluation, so you always want to put

1516
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: your best foot for it no matter what. Are you

1517
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: a morning person or a night owl morning? Are you

1518
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 1: a texter or facetimer? FaceTime? Got to FaceTime because I

1519
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: feel like it's different impress Like people can't say something,

1520
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: but it can be like they could uh have like

1521
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 1: a different like meaning behind the impression. Like I don't know,

1522
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: somebody can say shut up, but like they can also

1523
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 1: be playing or it could be like dead serious. So

1524
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 1: like I think I'll be FaceTime. This is a good

1525
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: place for facetiming. A lot of guys like to FaceTime

1526
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: each other. You have a day off. What is Kaier

1527

Speaker 1: doing with this day off? You gotta get a workout in.

1528
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 1: That could be running two miles, that could be core,

1529
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: that could be mobility, um and be trying a new restaurant. Um.

1530
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: Watching probably podcasts. I like to watch podcasts. Like I said,

1552
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: your phone? I say Instagram for sure, because you can learn.

1553
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 1: You can learn on explore page. You know, everything that

1554
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 1: you look at it like amplifies some more stuff like

1555
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: just like it. So I would say Instagram. And you

1556
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 1: can also connect with people if you can message. For sure,

1557
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 1: Instagram for sure. Any pregame rituals, I always have to

1558
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: have a gallon of water before I go again, I

1559
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 1: gat in the water because I swear a lot, So

1560
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: get in the water for sure. But like, I don't know,

1561
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 1: I think I do different things every game, so I

1562
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: don't really have like something I need to do in

1563
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 1: order for me to play well. Like, yeah, I wish

1564
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 1: you say, you know, I just get in the water

1565
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: to say, I always have to that's religiously, I always

1566
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: have to do that. My last question, what's one thing

1567
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: that you want Bill's Mafia to know about you? I'm

1568
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 1: coming here with an expectation to have an immediate impact.

1569
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,679
Speaker 1: You know that's special teams, if that's you know, competing

1570
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: to start right away at corner, you know, I'm coming

1571
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 1: to having an immediate impact, and I'm gonna challenge, you know,

1572
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 1: the guys in front of me and the guys who

1573
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm facing each and every week, because I feel like

1574
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,879
Speaker 1: I'm an ultimate competitor, or I really believe I'm ultimate competitor.

1575
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 1: Everything I do, I'm trying to striving to win, so

1576
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, I'm looking forward to just

1577
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 1: helping my team as much as I can and learning

1578
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 1: as much as I can. So that's some want, Billifia,

1579
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 1: I love it. Bill's Mafia. Kaier Elam from the News

1580
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: members of the Buffalo Bills. All right, that's Maddie Glad

1581
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 1: with Kayer Elam. We have to take a break here.

1582
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: When Steve and I come back, a final look at

1583
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll. We'll see which team you felt made

1584
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: up the most ground on the Bills in the AFC

1585
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,720
Speaker 1: East from within the division after the twenty twenty two

1586
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. That's up next. Stay tuned. War one Bills

1587
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 1: Live coming your way next. All right, the final tally

1588
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 1: on the poll today, which AFC East drive will close

1589
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 1: the gap on the Bills the most following the twenty

1590
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 1: twenty two NFL draft. The Jets by a slim margin,

1591
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: getting just over half the votes, with the Dolphins in

1592
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,600
Speaker 1: second at about forty eight percent of the vote, the

1593
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: Patriots getting a paltry two percent, which is just so

1594
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: enjoyable to view here on the poll. And I think

1595
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 1: I was a little concerned when we put this poll together, Steve,

1596
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 1: that our fans might just look at the entire roster

1597
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,680
Speaker 1: and say who closed the gap, and they would look at, Oh,

1598
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 1: this team is probably going to be closest to the

1599
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 1: Bills at the end of the season in the division.

1600
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:18,719
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people would gravitate towards

1601
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in that situation, but I think a lot

1602
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: of people captured the fact that the Jets really improved

1603
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 1: themselves in this year's draft, at least on paper. And

1604
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 1: think about it too. The Dolphins, while they might have

1605
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: improved with Tyreek Hill, they've got a brand new head coach,

1606
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 1: brand new culture, brand new coaching staff. They've got a

1607
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 1: lot of things that are going to be new and

1608
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 1: different for them, and the same quarterback. We'll see what happens.

1609
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 1: I think the Jets took a much bigger step this

1610
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: offseason now, whether it means they're going to win more

1611
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 1: games than the Dolphins. I don't know that, but they

1612
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 1: do have the stability of a head coach that we

1613
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: heard Eric Allen say a lot of people feel as

1614
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 1: the right guy for the job in New York, and

1615
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: it's been a while since you've heard that about anybody

1616
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 1: in New York. So it's I'm with them. I think

1617
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: the Jets are the team that has done the most

1618
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 1: to close the gap, and I think they're gonna show

1619
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 1: it in their win loss record. It's hard not to

1620
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 1: see them as the closest team in the AFC East

1621
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 1: to the Bills for me, now even above the Dolphins

1622
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 1: because of the new head coach and the new staff

1623
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: that's down there, and there's so many unknowns, and people

1624
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet would agree with you. Chris on

1625
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet says the Jets did the most following

1626
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 1: the draft, but the Finns did the most of this

1627
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 1: offseason as a whole. I don't know what the Pats

1628
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 1: are doing, Hansel says. The answer is the Jets. The

1629
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:41,759
Speaker 1: gap between the Patriots and Bills expanded, The gap between

1630
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and the Bills closed slightly. The gap between

1631
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Bills closed a lot. The gap

1632
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 1: between the Jets and Bills was much greater than the

1633
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Bills last season, So I think that's a

1634
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 1: pretty accurate assessment too from Hansel that in terms of

1635
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 1: what the gap previously was, the Jets did the best

1636
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,160
Speaker 1: job of closing the gap of the three divisions. You've

1637
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 1: got some hard You're gonna have a hard time convincing

1638
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 1: me that the Patriots didn't fall further behind. I think

1639
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: the gap got wider, as Cancel indicated, the gap between

1640
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 1: the Bills and Patriots expanded, as as Chris said, I

1641
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 1: don't know what the Pats are doing right. We'll be

1642
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 1: back tomorrow another exciting two hours of football talk for you.

1643
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow. One
