Speaker 2: When we got the window, Yeah you do that to

88
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: be outside for four hours. Then I got the long jives.

89
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: And today and with the forecast for this weekend, put

Speaker 3: them on. Don't take them off.

91
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: I might not venture outside. I don't know if I'm

92
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: you're right. I can't get my dogs.

93
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 3: To go outside.

94
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's rough, it's rough.

95
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 3: I went out. And it's also getting to the point

96
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: now at that time of year where you know, everybody

97
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: and those of us who who snow blow or plow

98
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: our own driveways or clear our own snow instead of

99
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: having you know, there's a cottage industry here with the plow.

100
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: But it's getting to the point where you don't have

101
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 3: any new places or enough space to push the snow

102
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: that you're already pushed.

103
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the my mailbox on my front right,

104
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: there's no strip.

105
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: There, there's no place to push the snow anymore. So

106
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 3: now it's starting to close in. It's we are in

107
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: the dead well.

108
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: It hasn't been below freezing in over a month or

109
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: above freezing and over a month.

110
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: There was a time where it was like thirty out

111
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: of thirty two days we had a measurable snow. I mean,

112
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 3: it's come on, this is a classic winter.

113
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: We're in the thick of it.

114
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: The only thing that we haven't gotten yet is like

115
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 3: the four feet of snow. We got a good snow,

116
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: a couple of goods Yeah, but we didn't get one

117
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: of those. Oh my goodness.

118
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: You're kind of thankful, Like the Winter Olympics are on

119
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,320

120
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,120

123
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: It's fireplace, it's and we all know this in a

124
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 3: normal and I'm finger quoting, of course normal winter. We

125
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: do get a ton of snow here, but it's never

Speaker 3: So the snow comes. But you know, every once in

130
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,239
Speaker 3: a while, we'll sprinkle in a forty two degree day,

131
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,880

Speaker 2: So, as we said, there are there were some activity

145
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: here at one Bill's Drive today and that's because the

146
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: Bill's new coordinators on offense, defense, and special teams were

147
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: introduced to the media today. New defensive coordinator Jim Leonard

148
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: very impressive and how he came across answer questions for

149
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: about a half an hour. As for his defense, he said,

150
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: they're going to be aggressive, but they're not going to

151
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: be reckless. He admitted there will be change on the

152
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, but he also explained how

153
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: defensive schemes are much more fluid nowadays than they used

154
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: to be and that coaches have to be more creative

155
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: to fit the skills of the players they have while

156
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: still getting to their tried and true concepts within the

157
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: scope of their scheme. Leonard also said a lot of

158
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: volume in your system can be created in how you

159
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: present it, which means you know, window dressing, different formations,

160
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: all that stuff. Said, the main goal is to put

161
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: stress on the offensive line and in turn the quarterback. Meanwhile,

162
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael and special teams coordinator Jeff Rogers.

163
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 2: They also addressed the media they didn't go as long

164
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: as Jim Leonard. I mean, truthfully, I think people are

165
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: anticipating the greatest change to happen there, and so the

166
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: media and I'm sure fans alike wanted to hear from

167
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: Leonard the most to see what the plans are. Head

168
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: coach Joe Brady, when asked about how the defense is changing,

169
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: was quick to point out that the conversations they've had

170
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: have centered around two main things. One what does the

171
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: defense look like? And two who do they have? He

172
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: reiterated that defensively, they want to put a scheme together

173
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: that fits around the players they have, not the other

174
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: way around. What I found interesting, though, Steve, was it

175
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: sounds like Jim Leonard already has the built in mindset

176
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: that when you're inheriting a group of players that are

177
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 2: under contract, there's only so many new players you can

178
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: bring in that quote unquote fits your system best. And

179
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: he was describing how this year it it's going to

180
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: look a little different, but in year two it's going

181
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 2: to look significantly different on the defensive side of the ball.

182
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: So he's almost chalking this year up to be somewhat

183
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: of a transition year on defense.

184
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: Did you kind of get that same feeling.

185
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah, we talked about it in the show

186
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago about you know that the

187
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: roster are going to be some turnover in the roster,

188
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: And it would have been turnover in the roster even

189
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 3: if no coaching changes would have been made, right, I mean,

190
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: because of the contracts and the things, and the draft

191
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 3: and the players you need and the players you want

192
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: and the players you trade for in free agency. But this,

193
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: you knew if they're going to switch it like this,

194
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 3: they're going to need a different type of athlete for

195
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: some different things. And while some of the athletes here

196
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: are Leonard mentioned the versatility of some of these guys

197
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: will be good, there'll be other guys available who will

198
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: be better, and that means roster change. And yeah, it's inevitable.

199
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,119
Speaker 3: It's inevitable.

200
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: It's just part of the deal.

201
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: It's part of the thing.

202
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: Coach Brady also mentioned that there are a handful of

203
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: coaches that are being retained from Sean McDermott's staff. Some

204
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: of the names mentioned tight ends coach Rob Boris, running

205
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: backs coach Kelly Skipper, quality control coach DJ Mangus, assistant

206
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: offensive line coach Austin Gunnd, quality control coach Kyle Schmer,

207
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: assistant special teams coach Turner West, and pass game specialist

208
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: and game management coach Mark Lubick. Those are some of

209
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: the names mentioned as being retained from the previous staff,

210
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: So not complete changeover. There will be some measure of continuity,

211
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 2: largely on the offensive side of the ball, which I

212
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: don't think is any surprise knowing that the head coach

213
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: came from that side of the ball. So the coaching

214
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: staff is not fully filled out, but it's pretty close

215
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: and that's kind of where it sits. We know that

216
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: you wanted to hear from Jim Leonard yourself, so we

217
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: do have a portion of his press conference that we

218
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: wanted to share with you so you can get a

219
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: sense as to what his thoughts are as he comes

220
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: in the door.

221
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: Just this week, welcome, thank you, third times the Charm

222
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: and Jim, can you walk us through just a process

223
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 4: of how it came about for you to be here

224
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 4: in Buffalo.

225
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a very exciting process for me, had different,

226
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 5: you know, varying levels of interest, from different teams around

227
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 5: the league and just exciting to kind of work through

228
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 5: the opportunities reach out to people and ended up on

229
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 5: being in Buffalo, so I'm very familiar with the organization,

230
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 5: with the people, the fans. That was the biggest sell.

231
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 5: Knowing how close this team is really to get into

232
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 5: that ultimate goal of playing in the super Bowl and

233
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 5: having played them the last couple of years, just understanding

234
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 5: enough about what this roster is and what I feel

235
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 5: like it can be. But it was a wild ride

236
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 5: for a couple of weeks, having a lot of conversations,

237
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 5: and I'm excited to get to this position right now

238
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 5: talking to you guys.

239
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 6: What is it about their roster that excites you.

240
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 5: I think there is a level of versatility in there

241
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: that is exciting to think about, and I'm just more

242
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 5: excited to get the staff together to really piece it together.

243
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 5: You know, there's going to be change. It's been a

244
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 5: system that they've played in for a long time, and

245
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 5: just the structure of what they've done and how they've

246
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 5: done it and why they have done it. It's going

247
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: to be a change for them. But we're excited as

248
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: a coaching staff to really be able to create something

249
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 5: that is best for their skill sets and fits their personalities.

250
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 5: I'm big on flexibility and being able to play to

251
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 5: your best players in force offenses to you know, try

252
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 5: to find your issues and to have to deal with

253
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 5: their own problems, not always being reactive.

254
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: Jim, you've been through scheme changes yourself as a player.

255
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: How do you feel going through that as a player

256
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: can help you teach these players how to adjust to

257
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: a scheme change.

258
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 5: Now as a coach, it really shaped what I believe

259
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 5: in as a coach.

260
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 7: You know.

261
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 5: The example I'll give was with Rex Ryan in that scheme.

262
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 5: Rex Ryan, Mike Petton, Jim O'Neill was in the system

263
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: for six years and four different places, right, So to

264
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 5: see how it morphed from one place to the next.

265
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 5: What you kept, what you changed, terminology changes, how the

266
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 5: personnel dictates, how you really set up the game plan,

267
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 5: and overall just the scheme right starting in the off season.

268
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 5: So as a player, being able to do that again

269
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 5: through four different phases of my career, that really sparked

270
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 5: my interest in coaching, right. That sparked my interest in

271
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: if if I do this, if I get into coaching,

272
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 5: this is what it's going to look like and was

273
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 5: able to take that, you know, straight to Wisconsin after

274
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: I got done playing.

275
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 7: And be able to implement it.

276
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: And it was the other exciting piece about talking with

277
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 5: Joe Brady is kind of the autonomy he's giving me

278
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 5: to get the right people in the building as far

279
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 5: as coaches, and let's create a defense that we can

280
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 5: all be proud of. And it's create a defense that

281
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 5: the NFL doesn't want to play against.

282
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 6: What you believe the defense is, if they're one of

283
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 6: the hallmarks that make this defense as good as it's

284
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 6: been for you through your career.

285
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're going to be an attacking defense upfront, in

286
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 5: the back end, we're going to attack the full ball.

287
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 5: You know, that's the biggest stat in football is turnover.

288
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 5: So we're gonna be aggressive, We're gonna fly around, we're

289
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 5: gonna communicate, we're gonna.

290
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 7: Play well together. Right it is.

291
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 5: It is team defense, but we're going to cause issues

292
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 5: for offense and we're going to force them to react

293
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 5: to us.

294
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 7: Right.

295
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 5: I don't want to CounterPunch, you know. We want to

296
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 5: be a defense that is constantly evolving and growing throughout

297
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 5: a game and then throughout a season, which.

298
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 8: Molkie Hawkins, by the way, who folks Persinati welcome both

299
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 8: local at their time. But again, this Bill's defense has

300
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 8: struggle with you know, getting a quarterback on the ground,

301
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 8: how do you plan to maximize that pass rush without

302
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 8: sacrifice and coverage.

303
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna be aggressive, We're not gonna be reckless. Right,

304
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 5: There's there is a right and a wrong way in

305
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 5: my opinion on how to attack quarterbacks in the NFL,

306
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 5: and that it changes a little bit week to week

307
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 5: based on their skill set. And you have to play

308
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 5: to the strengths.

309
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 7: Of your players. Right, we were able to.

310
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 5: Do it a certain way, and enver that may not

311
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 5: be the way that it looks here. Right, But you

312
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 5: have to affect the quarterback, right. You have to try

313
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 5: to change the comfort level of that quarterback. You got

314
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 5: to be able to speed him up, you got to

315
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: be able to slow him down. You have to be

316
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 5: able to control the tempo of a game, right, and

317
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 5: the number one way to control the temple of a

318
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 5: game is stopping the run, right, to force them into

319
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 5: situations where the defense is advantageous. Right, you're in an

320
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 5: advantageous position as a defense. So firm believer in stopping

321
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 5: the run, to make teams predictable, try to make them

322
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 5: be more one dimensional, and that allows you to really

323
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 5: force them to react to you. So that's where it's

324
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 5: always going to start. I think that's great defense. And

325
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 5: once you get into that element of the game where

326
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 5: you're trying to attack the quarterback specifically, there's a lot

327
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 5: of different ways to get it done, and we're going

328
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 5: to piece something together that we feel like is going

329
00:17:59,000 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 5: to be the right for this group.

330
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: I don't mean to make you feel old with this question,

331
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: but twenty years ago, you were instrumental in helping George

332
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: Wilson in here change from a wide receiver to a

333
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: safety position. I mean, he was at your elbow week in,

334
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: week out and learn that position. Is that maybe where

335
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: the seeds of coaching in your head began or was

336
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: it even before.

337
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 5: That, Well, there's always I'm from a huge coaching family, right,

338
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 5: That's what I knew mom, dad, aunts, uncles. That's that's

339
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 5: what I was kind of raised in As a player.

340
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 5: I was in that kind of mentorship role or kind

341
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 5: of coaching position a lot of times, and I loved it.

342
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 7: It's a credit to George, right, First of all, he

343
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 7: had a.

344
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 5: Tremendous career here and like, I am a sucker for

345
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 5: guys who just want to learn football, that just are

346
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 5: curious and they want to learn more, They want to

347
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 5: understand the game at a higher level.

348
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 7: You know, that's that's my sweet spot.

349
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 5: So when you get those guys in the room, like,

350
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 5: I'm always going to have things for them, right, you're

351
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 5: as a coaching staff that we're putting together. We want teachers,

352
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 5: we want developers. I think that is one of the

353
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 5: biggest misconceptions of the NFL is it is a business.

354
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 5: It's you know what, it can turn that way very fast.

355
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 9: Right.

356
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 5: If you're going to make it transactional with a player,

357
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 5: guess what, he's probably going to do the same to you.

358
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 5: So we want to get teachers, we want to get developers,

359
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 5: we want to get connectors.

360
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 7: That's what Joe Brady is right.

361
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 5: You want somebody that can build these relationships to get

362
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 5: the trust, to get the buy in, to get the

363
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 5: ownership in everything that you're trying to get accomplished.

364
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 7: As a player.

365
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 5: You know, I prided myself I went from team to

366
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 5: team a lot, went to a lot of different locker rooms,

367
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 5: Like how can I earn.

368
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 7: The trust and respect of this group quickly. Right.

369
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 5: That was always my goal going in. That will be

370
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 5: my goal as a coach, and we'll challenge all of

371
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 5: our coaches to have that mindset of these guys don't

372
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 5: deserve like we don't earn their respect, or we don't

373
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 5: we don't deserve their spec away. You've got to go

374
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: earn it, and you've got to be consistent in the

375
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 5: communication and consistent in how you approach your relationships. And

376
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 5: the greatest teams are always going to have that ownership

377
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 5: from the locker room.

378
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 7: Right.

379
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 5: If it's coach driven, you got a chance to be successful.

380
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 5: But if it's player driven, those are always the best

381
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 5: teams and the ones that get talked about for a

382
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 5: long time.

383
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 10: You think about the Broncos defense, I mean one of

384
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 10: the first things people think about as patricks Ertan. I

385
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 10: know it's early on looking at the personnel here, but

386
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 10: when you see Christian Benford, what do you see and

387
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 10: what do you think the possibilities are with him as

388
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 10: your number one corner.

389
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's very talented player.

390
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 5: He's had opportunities in the past to travel and track

391
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 5: number one receivers. It's something that we will consider as

392
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 5: we go on. I'm really excited to deep dive into

393
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 5: the personnel, into the skill sets to create the best

394
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 5: package for him.

395
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 7: Not quite there yet.

396
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 5: I'd love to give you a little bit deeper answer,

397
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 5: but have a tremendous amount of respect for the way

398
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 5: he plays right the passion he plays with, the physicality,

399
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 5: the energy. He's going to be a big leader for

400
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 5: this defense, and we're going to create the scheme around

401
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 5: players like that, right that the known commodities.

402
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 7: Right there are guys that you know are going to

403
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 7: be a.

404
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 5: Big piece of this, and then there's others that we

405
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 5: have to figure out what the right mix of talent

406
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 5: and leadership is going to be. But a guy like him,

407
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 5: who's proven who he is and his value to this roster,

408
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 5: like those are the guys that are in our mind

409
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 5: when we set this thing up.

410
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 2: So that's Jim Leonard, Bill's new defensive coordinator. Addressing the

411
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: media earlier today, talked for over thirty minutes answering questions

412
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: and got to tell you it was pretty polished, like

413
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: his message was direct, there were no ums and odds.

414
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: He had answers, sounded very measured in the way he

415
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: came across and I think that we got a little

416
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: bit of a peek into how he's going to interact

417
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: with his players.

418
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: Know, as a communicator, there's.

419
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: Very direct, honest and open communication there, and it's very

420
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: clear to me he knows what he wants right.

421
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: It's it's hard to thread that needle between being you know,

422
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: a leader in the in the room and a businessman

423
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 3: and knowing that it's a pro business in the bottom

424
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: line counts and all that, but also being part of

425
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 3: a team and having having a group of guys that

426
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: look to you for leadership and and some level of

427
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: friendship and you know, they got you know, you like them,

428
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 3: they like you, and let's do this together kind of

429
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: atmosphere while you still got to get the bottom line

430
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: taken care of it. It's a hard needle to thread.

431
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: And you know, it's easy to see why, you know,

432
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 3: guys like Jim Leonard fell to the top, the.

433
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: Guy that comes from a coaching family, so he doesn't

434
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: know anything else, So it wasn't surprising that Joe Brady

435
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: saw him as a fit here to run his defense

436
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: going forward. Topic of discussion for you today it pertains

437
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: to the new coordinator hires, which player do you think

438
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: will benefit the most from the Bills new coordinator hires.

439
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: Maybe you have a player in mind that you think

440
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 2: is going to flourish under these new coordinators, be it offense, defense,

441
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: or even special teams. Eight oh three oh five point

442
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty the

443
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: number to call. I have a player in mind, and

444
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:21,520

00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: Senator is getting introduced to the media today. Thought it'd

454
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: be timely to ask you which player do you think

455
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,199

Speaker 2: on board. You got open lines for you there, but

459
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: we lead off today with Mike in Olian.

460
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 11: What's up, Mike, Hey, uh yeah.

461
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 12: My question is I noticed the Patriots all their coaches

462
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 12: are on the field. No, I take because according do

463
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 12: you think it's more advantagious for our coaches beyond the field?

464
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 12: Says up in the booth.

465
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's a matter of personal preference more than anything else.

466
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 2: Some coaches, particularly play callers, like to have the full

467
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: field view from up above, where you can see not

468
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: only how your own plays that you're calling develop, but

469
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: the coverage is against you and how the defense is

470
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: playing your offense for example, and vice versa. Some coaches

471
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 2: like to be down on the sidelines when they could

472
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 2: get face to face with their players that are playing

473
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 2: for them out there on the field. Easier communication. You

474
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: guys upstairs can phone down and talk to whoever they

475
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: need to. But some coaches like to be down the sidelines.

476
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:18,239
Speaker 13: Now.

477
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: Joe Brady, you know, has to be down on the

478
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: sidelines now is the head coach after being in the booth,

479
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: But it would not surprise me if he has offensive

480
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: coordinator Pete Carmichael upstairs to give him the bird's eye view,

481
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 2: and they have assistants up there charting plays and sending

482
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: down pictures and everything.

483
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: Only the iPads ain't nobody up there just watching the game.

484
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: They all have responsibilities. You watch, watch the corner, watch

485
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: the coverage, watch the rush package, watch the stunts.

486
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: You know, all that guys up there charting all everybody's.

487
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: Charting it, and everybody's keeping an eye on substitutions, the

488
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: whole thing for the other team and your own. So

489
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: it's a it's a two edged swords to communicate with

490
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 3: your starting quarterback when he comes off the field, if

491
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 3: you're sitting right there with him and you can talk

492
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 3: to him and say, hey, here's what we're thinking, point

493
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: and you know, point to what you want on this

494
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: on the tablet, a personal conversation right there about x's

495
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: and o's and all the specific things you're talking about,

496
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 3: and get his feedback. You can't do it as well

497
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 3: when you're up upstairs and you're over the phone. It

498
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: sounds easy, it's not, but it's not. A lot of

499
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: guys don't think it communicates as well when you're upstairs

500
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 3: as it does. The between series conversations don't translate as

501
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 3: well when you're upstairs over the phone rather than when

502
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 3: you're right down there on the sidelines. Even so, if

503
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: you're the head coach called and places, you can't turn

504
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: your back on the field, go over and sit down

505
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 3: and have a teet to teat with your quarterback because

506
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 3: you've got to watch the defense and call a time out.

507
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 3: Maybe so the head coach is hamstrung by his ability

508
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: to talk to his often his quarterback because he's got

509
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: coach the game. So it's a a balancing act. As

510
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 3: a needle, you got a thread as to how you

511
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: want to handle it. As a staff. Now, Pete Carmichael

512
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 3: Junior has done that a lot in his career. Sean

513
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 3: Payton with Denver and New Orleans was always the play

514
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 3: caller offensively except when he was suspended, and then Pete

515
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: Carmichael called the plays. So he knows how it works

516
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: both ways, and they will come up with a system

517
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 3: for doing that. Don't know if Jim Lennard will be

518
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: upstairs or down but either way it'll be on them

519
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: to make that decision. Brownie's right, Pete Carmichael will probably

520
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: be probably be upstairs, and I don't know that anybody

521
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 3: asked him whether he was upstairs or downstairs. In Denver,

522
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 3: or New Orleans with Sean Payton. Either way, that all

523
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: goes into the mix. And just because another team does

524
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean it works for you. Yeah, that's it's

525
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 3: largely personal personal preference.

526
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to Kevin and Hamburg next.

527
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: What's up Kevin?

528
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, how are you doing? Thanks for taking my

529
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 14: call for the offense. I have to say, hopefully the

530
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 14: tight ends he makes them even more dangerous than they

531
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 14: already are, makes them get even more in the game

532
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 14: plan than they already are. We got cougar tight ends,

533
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 14: and sometimes the offense was not was not I don't know,

534
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 14: but the tight end is used as much as possible

535
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 14: for some reason. And a defense the whole Enchilada, everybody

536
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 14: on defense, the line, the linebackers, and the defensive backs. Okay, yeah,

537
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 14: and one more thing I let's say is, since you're

538
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 14: talking about the cold weather, I got a warm thought

539
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 14: for you. How's this too too much? In today's date

540
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 14: is Easter Sunday. They'll give you a warm thought?

541
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 1: All right? Fair enough, Kevin, Thanks for doing that.

542
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: Although we've had snow here on Eastern win it's early,

543
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 2: but I appreciate the effort.

544
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Kevin. I do because it's been ungodly cold the last

545
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: few weeks.

546
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: Unseasonably cool.

547
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, it's like ball me out there out west.

548
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: They were talking about how it was seventy degrees yesterday

549
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: out at the sight of the Super Bowl.

550
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: Guys are walking around in T shirts and it's the

551
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: West Coast crazy. Go to Brennan and Williamsville next. What's

552
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: up Brennan, Hey.

553
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 11: Y, I just want to talk about a little Dalton Kincaid.

554
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 11: So I'm kind of hoping that he goes off this

555
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 11: year because you never know what's going to change on

556
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 11: the offensive side. Is obviously Brady kind of ran it,

557
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 11: but if you look at the cap situation, it's not

558
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 11: too big of a jump to see that Dawson Knox

559
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 11: is probably one of your cap cuts if he doesn't restructure,

560
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 11: because I know he loves the area. So I'm kind

561
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 11: of hoping that they can turn Dalton Kincaid into maybe

562
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 11: not an every down tight end because you got the

563
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 11: new guy Jackson coming in. So I'm hoping he plays

564
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 11: more on passing downs. He gets more than forty percent

565
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 11: of the snaps every game because he's a real weapon

566
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 11: when he's out there. I'll hang up and listen to

567
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 11: you guys.

568
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think part of the reason for that, though, Brennan,

569
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: was because they were managing a knee injury. I think

570
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid would have been on the field significantly more

571
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: if he wasn't nursing a torn PCL in the back

572
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: of his knee. You even heard the coaching staff last

573
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: season when you know Dalton Kincaid was missing practices. There

574
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: were some weeks where he barely practiced at all because

575
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: they were trying to save him as best as they

576
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: could for actual game day. And then even on game

577
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: day he was only getting forty five to fifty five

578
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: percent of the snaps.

579
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 12: Yeah.

580
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, the PCL is a very small ligament inside the knee.

581
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 3: That was my first knee injury I ever got forty

582
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: years ago or wherever long it was, and it's it's

583
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 3: something that they have decided. I don't think he's gonna

584
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 3: have surgery on it.

585
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: You heard Brandon being addressed that this morning on the

586
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: morning show.

587
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 3: And so we'll see how good it gets and how

588
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 3: stable it can become. Certainly they need some he needs

589
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: some rest and relaxation on it. But yeah, it's been

590
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 3: a chronic problem and you would like to see him

591
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 3: get completely over that. If he's completely healthy, that's going

592
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 3: to go a long way towards him being a bigger

593
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 3: part of it. Like Brownie alluded to, I mean, I

594
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 3: think we'll never know for sure because he showed up

595
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: in a lot of games. Maybe he wasn't one hundred

596
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: percent in and they didn't use him to one hundred

597
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: percent of how they would have had he been a

598
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: healthy guy. So we'll never know. But hopefully it happens

599
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 3: exactly like you say it does, Brennan, and the guy

600
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: gets back on the field and is in there for

601
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: at least what half the offensive snatch.

602
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: We do know the numbers for the team were better

603
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: when he was on the field offensively and one loss

604
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: record wise, I think they were two and three when

605
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: he didn't play, which would make them ten and two

606
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: when he did. And Josh's passer rating when he targeted

607
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: Kincaid was like one fifty plus and the best you

608
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: can do is one fifty eight point three. And yeah,

609
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: we heard Brandon being on the air this morning on

610
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: the morning show here on WGR and Buffalo with Jeremy

611
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: and Joe, where he said they sat at the end

612
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: of the season, they sent Dalton Kincaid for second and

613
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: third opinions on his torn PCL and whether or not

614
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: surgery was deemed necessary, and none of the doctors felt

615
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: that it was. They all universally stated that with rest,

616
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: rehab and then strengthening the muscles around the knee, that

617
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: he should be good to go for this upcoming season.

618
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 3: It it's not a common repair AL, it's a I

619
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: think ACL is a more catastrophic injury. Yes, and you

620
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: get it a lot because it's such a prominent ligament

621
00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 3: inside the knee. And therefore they've had millions, millions of

622
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: instances where they fixed it and they got really good

623
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: at it. PCL you don't hear about too much because

624
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 3: it's not as prominent a ligament, and they don't a

625
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 3: lot of times. It's they do exactly what they're telling

626
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 3: him to do. Just relax, let it. It'll tighten up

627
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 3: on its own, or it will, you know, with rehab,

628
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: it'll get to the point where it won't bother you.

629
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 3: And because it is a very difficult ligament to get

630
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 3: at inside the knee, it's not very it's not it's

631
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: not as prominent as the ACL. It's a much smaller ligament,

632
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: so it's you know, it's harder to get in there

633
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: and fix it. So yeah, I they're with all the

634
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 3: opinions he's gotten, I'm sure they're doing the right thing,

635
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: and and you gotta trust it. He's gonna work really

636
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: hard at rehabbing it and when when he needs to resting.

637
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 3: So it's it's a problem because you never you feel like,

638
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 3: I know this is a player, and I've been through

639
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 3: it a ton with different stuff. It's it was my philosophy.

640
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: Fix it, Yeah, you know'll fix it. I don't want to.

641
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about it.

642
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 3: I don't want to work on this thing. Get it

643
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 3: all going, and then have the thing go back to

644
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: square one as soon.

645
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: As I take a shot, which, not for nothing, is

646
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: kind of what happened this past year because look, just

647
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 2: to rewind it a little bit, he injured that pcl

648
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: in the win at Indianapolis in twenty twenty four, and

649
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 2: then he was dressed and he already had an injury

650
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 2: on his other knee, so he was dragging two bad

651
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 2: wheels around the rest of that season. It compromised his

652
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: effectiveness and his separation ability goes into doesn't get surgery,

653
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: goes into training camp this past summer, tweaks it and

654
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: it becomes a management thing for the entire season.

655
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so don't want.

656
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: To go down that road again.

657
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's always my thing. Just fix me, Okay,

658
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 3: I'll rehab. I'll work as hard as I want is rehab,

659
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: but don't ask me to rehab or prehab as they

660
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 3: call it, and then have the thing go. You know,

661
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 3: I get one ding on. Yeah it's not good enough.

662
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: So I think that's why they went and saw it

663
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: second and third opinion.

664
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 3: Right, So we'll see. But you know, you gotta trust

665
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 3: that and hope that he'll be with a bunch of

666
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 3: time off and some rehab and doing all that stuff,

667
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 3: that it will come back one hundred percent to.

668
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: Gary on a sale next what's up?

669
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 3: Gary?

670
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 15: Hey, guys, tell you I'll do him good. I think

671
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 15: this whole the whole off he's about Josh. You talk

672
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 15: about the player that it's gonna should help it better

673
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 15: help him, you know, I mean, Alic the defense is

674
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 15: a problem, so hopefully Leonard can help that. But Josh

675
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 15: an all timer, if he wins a ring, he's definitely

676
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 15: gonna be a Hall of Timer. He deserves to win

677
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 15: a ring. So whatever they got to do to fix

678
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 15: it for Josh to win a ring, because he's probably

679
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 15: gonna go down. And I love Jim Kelly, he's my

680
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 15: my favorite all timer, but Josh will probably go down

681
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 15: as the best quarterback they've ever had.

682
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: Any any thoughts, Gary, any thoughts Gary in your head

683
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 2: on how that will look, how he will benefit?

684
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 15: Well, I mean they need a number one. Yeah, they

685
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 15: need to stop giving up thirty points in the playoffs,

686
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 15: and they need a pass rush. They have a good

687
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 15: enough secondary. Like I said yesterday on the phone, they

688
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 15: need to be bigger up front. They need to you know,

689
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 15: be bigger and stopping to run. And they need a

690
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 15: number one. They don't need to revamp the whole thing, guys.

691
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 15: They need a number one and he can k to

692
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 15: be healthy. The office lines out standy. They need to

693
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 15: fix the defense a little bit bigger the middle. I'd

694
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 15: like to resign Trey White, but we'll see about that

695
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 15: because I don't know if he fits the scheme. But

696
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 15: they need a safety. You know, there's like there's like

697
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 15: four or five positions. They probably need a dress maybe

698
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 15: three to hit on and but they need to really

699
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 15: help him win a ring. He needs to win a ring.

700
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, thanks, I appreciate it.

701
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: I mean it sounds like you're saying, Josh Allen will benefit,

702
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: but in order to a lot of things have to

703
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: improve on the defensive side of the ball, and Gary

704
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 2: was focused on personnel more than anything else.

705
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 3: They need, they need to put together a betteristical year defensively.

706
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 3: I mean that's a kind of a broad you know,

707
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 3: from the thirty thousand foot view, particularly, you need to

708
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 3: win a game with your defense once in a while.

709
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 3: You can point to the Philly game where it was

710
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 3: twelve to thirteen, and you know the Bills out, but

711
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 3: you know that's that's a team, that's a that was

712
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 3: defending world champion. They're hard to beat, and the fact

713
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 3: that they scored thirteen says more about them than it

714
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 3: does again about the Bills. I think, in my opinion,

715
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 3: the Eagles offense was an atrocity this year by their

716
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: standards and by the World Championship standards. So and they

717
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 3: they've washed out their whole offensive staff already and are

718
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 3: trying to rehire an offensive staff because it didn't go well.

719
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: So if you put your in there's just no game

720
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: you can look at, unless you count a tipped interception

721
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 3: or something like that, that this defense came out and

722
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 3: just dominated the own it and you never see it

723
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. That's been the whole We've seen a

724
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 3: ton of analytics stuff coming through on on social media now,

725
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: where you know, people have started to break it down.

726
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 3: The offense is performing at a high level in the

727
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 3: playoffs against really good football teams, and their defense has

728
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 3: not matched that for any stretch. So you know that

729
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 3: you're right, Josh may benefit, and he may be a

730
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 3: guy who gets a ring because the other side of

731
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 3: the ball got better. But and you're right, he is

732
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 3: an old Josh is an old timer, and he's when

733
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: he's all said and done, he's going to have a

734
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame resume. He's going to be as statistically

735
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 3: as good as any Hall of Fame you know, or

736
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 3: if not all most Hall of famers in the Hall

737
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 3: of Fame, except for the fact that he needs a

738
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 3: world championship at this point before he gets mentioned in

739
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 3: that breath. So I'm yeah, Josh is a good an

740
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 3: answer to this question who's going to benefit the most

741
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 3: from these coaching changes. Josh is the face of the franchise,

742
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 3: and when the franchise gets better, so does Josh. Right,

743
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 3: There's no two ways about it. It would be nice

744
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 3: to have Josh be able to fold up the Cape,

745
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 3: put it away in storage and not have to use it.

746
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: We'll see if it happens.

747
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, but more of your phone

748
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: calls when we get back. Ken and Buffalo going to

749
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 2: lead us off when we return here on One Bill's Live,

750
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: presented by a lot of Health.

751
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, back here on One

752
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and we're

753
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: asking you.

754
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: Today which player will benefit the most from the Bills

755
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: new coordinator hires.

756
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: Right back to the phones we go and to Ken

757
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. What's up?

758
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: Ken?

759
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 16: Hey, good afternoons. How you all doing today?

760
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 3: All right?

761
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 16: Excellent, excellent to be on the horn with you all again.

762
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 16: A very good question, clearly, and you all have enunciated

763
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 16: as much already. But Josh Allen stands to benefit from

764
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 16: the in coordinators on both sides of the bar, no less.

765
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 16: But as relates to the offensive side, I would think

766
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 16: both Josh and James Cook should certainly become even more productive,

767
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 16: as if that's even fair to ask of them. But

768
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 16: given the fact that Joe Brady will be on the field,

769
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 16: which hopefully will give him an even better seal for

770
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 16: the game, the flow of it, et cetera. Now, I

771
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 16: was a bit concerned when he noted that he plans

772
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 16: to continue to call more screens. I mean, on the surface,

773
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 16: it's not a problem, except he needs to be far

774
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 16: more creative and innovative with those calls. The one player

775
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 16: who seems to really benefit from those calls with Shakir,

776
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 16: and I expect for that to continue. But of course

777
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 16: he's one of the best open field runners that we have,

778
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 16: so it makes sense that he's pretty productive. But I

779
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 16: would hope that they change the look up a little

780
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 16: more and not give teams exactly what they see on CILM.

781
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 16: That's the problem with those screens is what.

782
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 12: They saw with film.

783
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 16: It's what they get in the game, and that's why

784
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 16: that play us to get busted up too many times.

785
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 16: But as it relates to the run game, I really

786
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 16: expect for Cook to continue to be what he has been,

787
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 16: but also to see him get more screens, which is

788
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 16: something Joe Brady said he's planned to do. That's a

789
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 16: more traditional approach. Get him involved. That'll help keep some

790
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 16: of the pressure off Josh. If we screen to the right,

791
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 16: screen to the left, keeping some of those defensive ends

792
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 16: more honest. So I hope to see more of that.

793
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 16: So I expect those players to benefit. But again, because

794
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 16: Jim Leonard wants to be an attacking defense, that will

795
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 16: only help the offense. Not only we'll get them the

796
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 16: ball back perhaps, but also close out games and more

797
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 16: importantly get more turnover. So on the defensive side, I

798
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 16: expect for Dion Walker to benefit from this game plan.

799
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 16: To use a three to four approach six three d

800
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 16: sei pounds. He should be able to tie up a

801
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 16: lot of you know, the offensive linemen in the middle

802
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 16: should create some opportunities for some nice eight gap blitzes,

803
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 16: and the secondary should benefit as well. If you get

804
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 16: more personal quarterlet you should get more turnover. So that's

805
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 16: what I'm expecting. So the whole deceit. Thank you Jalms

806
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 16: for picking m acough.

807
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: All right, you got it good.

808
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: I think one of the interesting discussions with respect to

809
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 2: the offense, which a lot of people don't expect to

810
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 2: change too terribly much. You've got Pete Carmichael, who spent

811
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: a lot of time in New Orleans with Alvin Kamara

812
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: as his running back, and when he and Sean Payton

813
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 2: were running that offense, Alvin Kamara had three consecutive seasons

814
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 2: of eighty receptions or more. The most receptions James Cook

815
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 2: has had in a season with Joe Brady as the

816
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator is thirty five, and I wonder if there's

817
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 2: an uptick there to take better advantage of his skill set,

818
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 2: particularly if the receiving corps doesn't get all the additions

819
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: that a lot of people are hoping for. Because I

820
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: will state it again, James Cook is your most dynamic

821
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 2: and elusive athlete on the roster. No one's close, and

822
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 2: I think it would behoove them to lean into using

823
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 2: him more in space in the passing game. I think

824
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 2: you could get more out of him there and potentially

825
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: more big plays from him there. You know, we've, as

826
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 2: Ken pointed out, we were talking about the screen game

827
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 2: and how Brady intends to still use it. What about

828
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: using James Cook in the screen game like that?

829
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: Ken Shakeir's good at it. I think Cook would be

830
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: great at it.

831
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it all of this and these new coaching changes

832
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 3: are a much more profound change than any of the

833
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 3: roster changes we saw at any point throughout the you

834
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 3: know Sean McDermott era. The coaching changes change things in

835
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 3: big ways. Rosters are shaped differently, roles are changed, and

836
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: we don't know whether it's just philosophical changes or whether

837
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 3: it's you know, the head coach had this to say.

838
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 3: You know, this defensive head coach that that used to

839
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 3: be here said this much about the offense, and he

840
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 3: wanted the offense run a certain way, he wanted certain ratios,

841
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 3: adhered to all of that, and we don't know how

842
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 3: much of that voice got in the way of what

843
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 3: Joe Brady really wanted to do, or whether his voice

844
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 3: helped Joe Brady get better than what he would have

845
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 3: otherwise been. We don't know any of that stuff. Jim

846
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 3: lendards the same way he comes in. We don't know

847
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 3: what he's gonna be like as a defensive play caller.

848
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 3: You can go back and look at some of the stuff,

849
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 3: but he never called plays with this roster or the

850
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 3: roster he's gonna have in six months. We don't know

851
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 3: any of this that's in these questions that we're asking.

852
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 3: I don't know that we're ever going to get a

853
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: definitive answer to because we don't know what was what

854
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: the answer was before we made the changes anyway, right, so.

855
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: The results will Yeah, I know this.

856
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 3: It's a little bit of a you know, thought exercise

857
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 3: here about how many variables there are in this football team.

858
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 3: But right now there's a ton, an absolute ton. We

859
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 3: got a chance to see into the mind of the

860
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 3: three guys are gonna be called offense, defense, and special

861
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 3: teams a little bit this or the fore minds that

862
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 3: are being contributing, and once you hear them speak and

863
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, you feel like you trust their abilities

864
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 3: to get it done.

865
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 17: Right.

866
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Jim Leonard was impressive today. Pete Carmichael was

867
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: impressive today. Jeff Rogers I loved what I heard from

868
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 3: him today. I loved his attitude. I love the way

869
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 3: he addressed the mic. I loved everything. And of course

870
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 3: Joe Brady is a guy we know, so I have

871
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence in this group we met today.

872
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, Brownie, but I think there's

873
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 3: gonna be some changes that are gonna be refreshing.

874
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, on all three.

875
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 3: Sides of the football and on the sidelines, and it's

876
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: exciting to think about. And that's going from a place

877
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 3: where we we had a really good football team last year.

878
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 3: I mean, right, So it's gonna be fun to think

879
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,479
Speaker 3: about for the next six months when we're gonna start

880
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 3: hearing dribs and drabs and players will start saying some

881
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: stuff about what they're being taught and how they think

882
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: about and what they think about it and how it's different.

883
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 3: And it's going to be fun to listen to. But

884
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 3: I think Josh Allen's a pretty good answer this question.

885
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 3: Like we've gotten the last couple of calls, there's no

886
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 3: question he's the face of the franchise. So if this

887
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 3: thing does take an up turn, he's going to be

888
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 3: the one that gets the most light shined on him.

889
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 2: Earlier in the week, Steve and I gave you the

890
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 2: international slate for twenty twenty six for the NFL. They

891
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: were eight international games. We did not know the matchup

892
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: for the Australian game. So the ninth international game in

893
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: Australia we knew was going to include the Rams. That

894
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 2: will be a home game for them, and with the

895
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 2: Bills having a road game against Los Angeles. There was

896
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 2: some speculation as to whether or not the Bills would

897
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 2: be chosen. I didn't think it would happen. I said,

898
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: it's too far to travel. You're probably doing that with

899
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 2: another West Coast team. The league announced it. It's going

900
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: to be the San Francisco forty nine Ers, So it's

901
00:46:54,280 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 2: going to be a division game in Australia. The Bills

902
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 2: will only be flying to LA to play the Rams

903
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: this fall.

904
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: Not all the way.

905
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 3: Sounds like a break, isn't it to Australia.

906
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take the five hour flight instead of the

907
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: twenty four hours.

908
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 3: Usually it's like, wow, we got a eighteen we gotta

909
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 3: go to whatever. We gotta go all the way to

910
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 3: the West Coast. It's going to be a tough road

911
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 3: trip the time change. While what were we gonna do going

912
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 3: to Australia Australia. Yeah, give me the LA trip. Yeah,

913
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 3: it turns into a it turns into a bonus trip

914
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 3: rather than rather than a tough road trip.

915
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: So it'll be a division an NFC West matchup.

916
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 3: I just thought of this. Okay, Niners, Rams, stick with

917
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 3: me on this. If if you were gonna do that

918
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 3: and you wanted to maximize or do. Wouldn't you like

919
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 3: play your game and then like fly to Hawaii, stay

920
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 3: for like three days practice and get some acclamation and

921
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,959
Speaker 3: then go the rest of the way to the Melbourne late.

922
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 2: I kind of just want to get the trip over with.

923
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 2: Just put me on the plane up, wake me up

924
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 2: when we're there. Probably I'm probably like if we're playing

925
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: in the previous Sunday, we're doing corrections on Monday, and

926
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 2: maybe we're flying out Monday night.

927
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 3: You get their Tuesday there Tuesday, probably maybe late too

928
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 3: late Tuesday. Well, you get there late Wednesday on their.

929
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: Clock, right, depending on when you leave.

930
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 3: Yes, wouldn't they get wouldn't isn't that? Aren't they a

931
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 3: day different ahead? They're ahead?

932
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 2: That's why you gotta get out there. You can't be

933
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 2: wasting any time in Hawaii. What are you doing to You.

934
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: Gotta get there, get there, get acclimated, and go. You

935
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: ain't getting aglamated.

936
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 3: It's a twelve hour difference.

937
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: Well, if you get there on Tuesday, you might be

938
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 1: right by Friday.

939
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: You ain't right. You ain't right by two Fridays.

940
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: I would respectfully disagree. I think you can get adjusted

941
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: in three days.

942
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 3: Sive No, an hour a day is what they tell

943
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 3: you can get adjusted. That's hour a day. I don't

944
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 3: buy that because you're gonna get hung over. You can

945
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 3: say you're all right and then the day after that

946
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 3: you're not all right again. You know how that works.

947
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 3: It's not gonna deprivation.

948
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: Well, sleep on the plane. They'll have those sleeper planes,

949
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 2: you know where you can lay.

950
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 3: And I'll say this, the last time the Bills went

951
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 3: went to London, I thought they mishandled that.

952
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: Yes they did. They went way too late.

953
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 3: Way too late, and not late enough. You know what

954
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

955
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 2: If you go away Thursday, Yeah, Thursday afternoon, I think

956
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 2: that's the worst possible scenario.

957
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 3: You gotta go like on Saturday. Just get up, play, get.

958
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 1: Back right before you exactly before they hit you. Yeah.

959
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 2: Easier said than done. And thankfully the Bills don't have

960
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 2: to do that. They still might be part of one

961
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 2: of the European Games. At least they're not going to Australia.

962
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 2: There's hat's a hal half the.

963
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:40,919
Speaker 3: League is going to be in one of these European Games.

964
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: Nine international games now, not half the league. At least

965
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 2: we have to take a break. But our number two

Speaker 2: Brown Steve Jasper with you and talking to you about

977
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 2: which Bill's player you feel will benefit the most by

978
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 2: the new coordinator Hires. All three of them introduced to

979
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 2: the media today in a press conference setting a couple

980
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 2: about two three hours ago. And we'll have more of

981
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 2: those comments for you in just a little bit, but

982
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 2: we want to get back to the phones. At eight

983
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 2: O three oh five point fifty one eight eight eight

984
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty and we go to rich

985
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 2: in Cheek Dewagan X.

986
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 19: What's up rich Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.

987
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 19: Defensive Wise, I feel Michael Hoyt, if he's healthy, will

988
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 19: benefit the most from this. He's an animal and he's versatile.

989
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 19: And secondly, I think the secondary will benefit from Michael Hoyt.

990
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 15: That's all I got.

991
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 19: I'm gonna hang up and listen to what you guys

992
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 19: have to say.

993
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: Thanks Rich for the call.

994
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 2: I am shocked it took to the second hour of

995
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 2: the show to get to Michael Hoyt because that guy

996
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: might be the biggest beneficiary of anybody on the defensive

997
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: side of the ball. You line him up at outside

998
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 2: linebacker at six four, two sixty and let him go.

999
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 2: He might actually be a better scheme fit in Jim

1000
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 2: Leonard's system than the previous one.

1001
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1002
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 3: In the short time he got to play in this one,

1003
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 3: he made a big difference for the guys around him

1004
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 3: and for the production of the whole unit. So yeah,

1005
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 3: that's a good guess. And he seems to be the

1006
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 3: guy that physically fits exactly what an OLB would be

1007
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 3: in a three to four defense. And you know, if

1008
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 3: he comes back from his achilles, yeah, and that's about.

1009
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: That's not nothing. That's a major injury.

1010
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 2: But knowing how he attacks just about everything involving his

1011
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 2: football career, I would expect him to be successful in

1012
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 2: doing that. It's just a shame that he only played

1013
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 2: a game and a half this year because I think

1014
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 2: he could have made a difference, a big difference for

1015
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 2: this defense this season, but got suspended and then gets

1016
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 2: injured a game and a half in. When he returns,

1017
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 2: it was awful. Yeah, you lost him in ed in

1018
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: the span of three quarters. Yeah, three plays, Yeah, that's right,

1019
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 2: three plays.

1020
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 3: Good.

1021
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: Lord, Let's go to Ryan in Toronto. What's up?

1022
00:52:58,480 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 3: Ryan?

1023
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 20: Steve love the show? Honest, you guys, this group off topic.

1024
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 20: But I know you guys mentioned how this show is

1025
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 20: going to be live streaming on starting Monday, So do

1026
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 20: you gut any information on how to contact you guys

1027
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 20: at all, like a new phone number anything like that,

1028
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 20: or it's gonna be the same number. Secondly, Jim Learner hiring,

1029
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 20: I don't know, man, I disagree with this. This is

1030
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 20: the same defense that the Bills scored thirty points on them.

1031
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 20: And I don't know, correct me wrong, but both of

1032
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 20: your sames defensive part of the defense last year in

1033
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 20: the playoffs as well for the then for the Broncos,

1034
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 20: and Bill scored like what thirty forty points on them.

1035
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,919
Speaker 20: So I don't know. I'm just saying I just looked

1036
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 20: like it seems like they're taking a step back on

1037
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 20: the defense. If we asked me, but I'm very concerned

1038
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 20: about how to contact you guys. Moving for on Monday.

1039
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 20: Starting Monday, guys, very very.

1040
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: Good question, Ryan, Thanks for the phone call. As we

00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,080

1086
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 2: But if you're driving around in your car, just download

1087
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 2: the Bills mobile app on your phone and there's a

1088
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 2: live radio selection there under the more section in the

1089
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 2: bottom right corner, and you pull it up there and

1090
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 2: then you can plug it into your car stereo and

1091
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 2: you can listen to the show just like you do

1092
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 2: on the radio.

1093
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 3: Right exactly. So that's you know, that's all available. Yeah,

1094
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 3: So that's where we're at.

1095
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, as soon as we have a call in number,

1096
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 2: we will get it to you, because we every day

1097
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 2: we want to hear from you. I think in many ways,

1098
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 2: you guys are the lifeblood of the show. So we

1099
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: will get that rectified as soon as we possibly can.

1100
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 2: In the meantime, we go back to the phones and

1101
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 2: to Sean and Williamsville.

1102
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: What's up Sean, Hey, guys, how you doing good?

1103
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 21: Two quick points. When we think about the Sean mcdern

1104
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 21: era and when we were at its best with our

1105
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 21: defense right, there was always one critical player that his

1106
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 21: speed from sideline to sideline, his ability to shed blocks

1107
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 21: and make tackles sound tackles, solo tackles get guys in

1108
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 21: position where they needed to be. That was Matt Malano

1109
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 21: and unfortunately he just he doesn't have it anymore what

1110
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 21: he used to have. He's aging, he's you know, getting older.

1111
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 21: But I think if somebody can be drafted and we

1112
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 21: can get somebody in the building that's you know, coachable

1113
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 21: and has the talent, I think, you know, having Matt

1114
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 21: Malone on the roster will be you know, helpful and critical,

1115
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 21: but we we need somebody that can make place. And

1116
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 21: my second point is just fundamentals, the Bills are not

1117
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 21: tackling well, they haven't been in a couple of years,

1118
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 21: and you have to be sound tacklers, and you have

1119
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 21: to be able to fill your gaps and your responsibilities.

1120
00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 21: You know, just you can't be getting blown up and

1121
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 21: run plays. You can't be you know, they got to

1122
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 21: tackle better. And that's really the most important thing. Whether

1123
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 21: it's a four three or three four, I think we

1124
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 21: can all agree on that. So, yeah, just more better fundamentally.

1125
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the things I've always said, one of

1126
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 3: the and thanks for the call, Sean, one of the

1127
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 3: things that's always true of the best defenses is true

1128
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 3: of the great defenses in the past it's true of

1129
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 3: the best defenses year to year, year over year. It

1130
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 3: never changes. When a defense has guys and the first

1131
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 3: guy that gets the ball makes the tackle, it's the

1132
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 3: best defense. You can get guys on the in the

1133
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 3: NFL level runs so fast that there's somebody always getting

1134
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 3: to the ball really fast, even if they if they

1135
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,479
Speaker 3: get fooled, somebody's coming up really fast. If the first

1136
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 3: guy there makes the tackle, your defense is going to

1137
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 3: be elite. It's that simple. It's it's no more complicated

1138
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 3: than that. When defenses get into trouble is when they

1139
00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 3: miss tackles or get tackles broken. Then you start running

1140
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 3: to problems because the defense, even philosophically, if they do

1141
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 3: it exactly right, the defense is not designed to have

1142
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 3: eleven guys making the tackle. It's designed to having a

1143
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 3: free hitter in the hole where the ball is at

1144
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 3: one guy because they got to come. You know, they

1145
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 3: don't know where the ball's going, so you've got to

1146
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 3: have everything covered. The defense is designed to have one

1147
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 3: guy there to make the tackle. If that guy makes

1148
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 3: the tackle, your defense is elite. The problem is if

1149
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 3: that guy misses the tackle or gets the tackle broken,

1150
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 3: nobody else is going to be there unless they're rallying

1151
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 3: to it right, so then it turns into big plays.

1152
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 3: It's a very simple concept. It's it's very true. And

1153
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 3: when you have a good run defense is because the

1154
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 3: first guy there makes the tackle. You can talk about

1155
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 3: gap integrity and all that, and that's some of that's true,

1156
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 3: and certainly that's to be addressed as well, but yeah,

1157
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 3: tackling is still fundamental.

1158
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then as far as playmakers, yeah, I mean,

1159
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 2: that's one thing that the Bills have lacked on the

1160
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball. Elite playmakers. They talked about

1161
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 2: it last offseason. They feel like you have to have

1162
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 2: two to three elite playmakers on offense and two to

1163
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 2: three elite playmakers on defense, and the Bills did not

1164
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,919
Speaker 2: have that on the defensive side of the ball this year.

1165
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: Not one.

1166
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 2: Now, that's probably due in part to the fact that

1167
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 2: Had Oliver missed most of the season with a torn bicep,

1168
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 2: Michael Hoyt missed pretty much all but six quarters of

1169
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 2: the season, and so guys that were potential playmakers in

1170
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 2: this defense.

1171
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Not available.

1172
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 2: So it was a major problem. Your number one draft

1173
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 2: pick not available until the back half of the season

1174
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 2: and then was unavailable for the playoffs. So you had

1175
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: playmaking talent somewhere on the roster, it just wasn't on

1176
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 2: the field. And I think the Bills have to set

1177
01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 2: about trying to acquire that and then cultivate and develop

1178
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 2: that with some of their draft choices. And Steve and

1179
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 2: I talked about this yesterday, and I think there's there's

1180
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 2: another extra avenue this year that Brandon Bean can pursue talent,

1181
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 2: and that's via the trade market. It's not something he

1182
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 2: shied away from in the past. And I think, as

1183
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Steve and I discussed yesterday, with ten new coaches, there

1184
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 2: are going to be new schemes implemented in for all

1185
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 2: those ten clubs, either.

1186
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: On offense or defense.

1187
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 2: And we tried to kind of extrapolate how many defenses

1188
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 2: are going to be changing, and out of the ten,

1189
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 2: four are definitely changing big time. And you're gonna have

1190
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 2: guys on other teams that aren't fits that could be

1191
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: fits here if you want to make a trade. And

1192
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 2: you know, one of the names that popped up today

1193
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 2: that we saw was to Andre Sweat, the big three

1194
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty pound nose tackle who was playing in

1195
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 2: a three to four in Tennessee. But now Robert sala

1196
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 2: is bringing a four to three defense to that team

1197
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 2: to and Andre Sweat is not a fit, but he'd

1198
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 2: be a fit here as a nose tack. So do

1199
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 2: you get on the horn and talk to them and say, hey,

1200
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 2: you got a guy that doesn't fit there, what would

1201
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 2: you think about this player fitting in your system? Maybe

1202
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 2: we can swap them and have a straight up deal.

1203
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 2: I think those opportunities are going to present themselves this

1204
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 2: offseason to help facilitate the Bills filling some of the

1205
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 2: perceived holes where they may not have a quote unquote

1206
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 2: scheme fit.

1207
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ronnie and I went down this rabbit hole a

1208
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 3: little bit thinking about the fact that you know you're

1209
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 3: gonna you got guys on your roster that are four

1210
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 3: to three guys, and what are you gonna do if

1211
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 3: if they don't fit, if they don't like it, or

1212
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 3: if they're not good at or whatever.

1213
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: Whether they're not scheme versatile and lowers.

1214
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 3: Or there's a guy. But the problem is there with

1215
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,919
Speaker 3: ten openings, like we've seen, yeah, head coaching nine other

1216
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 3: teams other than the Bills are making switches exactly like

1217
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 3: the Bills are, and they're switching like the Bills are.

1218
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 3: They're going from four to three to three four three,

1219
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 3: four to four three, all of that. So we went

1220
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 3: down that rabbit hole and said, well, who's out lo

1221
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 3: and behold it's it's right.

1222
01:02:59,720 --> 01:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1223
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 21: I think the.

1224
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Trade market, it might be a more active trade market

1225
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: because of us.

1226
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 3: Yes, the Bills might be have some more uh some

1227
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 3: unexpected trade partners because of those scheme changes on other

1228
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 3: teams as just like the scheme changes happening here in Buffalo.

1229
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bobby and Buffalo next. What's up, Bobby?

1230
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 9: Hey, how you doing, Brownie?

1231
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 12: How you doing good?

1232
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 9: Good? Good man, Thanks for taking my call, Brownie. I'm

1233
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 9: just listening to you, sir, and you you just you

1234
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 9: just basically answered my question because I really think that

1235
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:38,439
Speaker 9: three players would benefit from all of this. And number one,

1236
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 9: you you just answered my question. And Ed Oliver Okay,

1237
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 9: I think if Ed Oliver gets healthy and it comes back,

1238
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 9: he will be he will be solid. That's number one.

1239
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 9: Number Number two, the I'm looking at two offensive players

1240
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 9: that that that will benefit on office this year. Number

1241
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 9: one to be James Okay, I think I think he's

1242
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 9: gonna I think he's gonna have another breakout season. That's

1243
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 9: number one and number two. Uh, this guy, if he

1244
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 9: keeps his head on straight and somebody really can motivate him,

1245
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 9: as Keon coleman, Okay, I think I think he can

1246
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 9: really get motivated and be and be and be a

1247
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 9: big factor in that offense if if he if he

1248
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 9: gets motivated and keeps his head on straight. Okay, I wait,

1249
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 9: I'll wait for you guys answers, Thanks for taking my ball.

1250
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Keon has been obviously because of the press conference

1251
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 3: with Terry and and Brandon. Keon got mentioned in that

1252
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 3: and everybody felt like they threw Keon on the best

1253
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 3: because all of a sudden, everybody perceives that somebody's not

1254
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 3: happy with him. You got bench for being late and

1255
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 3: not holding up his end of the bargain the whole thing,

1256
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 3: and people are, you know, kind of waiting on Keon

1257
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 3: for the light to go on, for him to mature

1258
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 3: all of that stuff. The sad part of it is

1259
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 3: for me, from my perspective as a guy who had

1260
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 3: a career for a minute and has watched the game

1261
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 3: for a long time, this game doesn't wait on anybody.

1262
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 12: Mm hm.

1263
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 3: It moves too fast. They need you when they need you,

1264
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 3: and if you're not there when they need you, they

1265
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 3: ain't gonna need you very often. They're not gonna need

1266
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 3: you anymore. That's the simple fact of the matter. They

1267
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 3: will wait on nobody you he Keon's not done, he's

1268
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 3: not finished. He's not through. Uh. You heard Joe Brady

1269
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 3: say Keon's gonna be on our football team. And that's awesome.

1270
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 3: And the light may go on for Keon, but nobody's

1271
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 3: waiting on him. Uh. He's just gonna get another opportunity

1272
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 3: to give it another shot on him. It's on him. Secondly,

1273
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 3: James Cook, Yeah, I don't know. It's gonna be hard

1274
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 3: because it doesn't happen very often. It's gonna be hard

1275
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 3: for James Cook come back and have another sixteen hundred

1276
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 3: yard season rushing. It's just really hard to do. The

1277
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 3: offensive line. Forty percent of the offensive line is in

1278
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 3: question at this point. It may come back. They may

1279
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 3: come back and pick right up where they left off.

1280
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 3: Where they may not. The odds are and history tells

1281
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 3: us they probably won't. It's going to be a harder

1282
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 3: year for James Cook next year than it was this year.

1283
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Could get more than thirty five receptions though that might

1284
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: be easy.

1285
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 3: It's a change. But he probably won't have a sixteen

1286
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 3: hundred yard rushing season. But if he has a thousand

1287
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 3: yards rushing on a thousand yards receiving, okay, I'll take it.

1288
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 3: That kind of thing. And of course Ed Oliver, Yeah,

1289
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 3: get at Oliver healthy. Ed played with a new found

1290
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 3: energy this early this season. He really did. He played

1291
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 3: with a new found energy, and that would be nice

1292
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 3: to see him go through an entire season like that,

1293
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 3: It really would. His skill set is unique. He's a

1294
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 3: unique athlete and when he's on man, he's a game wrecker.

1295
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 3: He he has some more than just a few moments

1296
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 3: in games when he's on man, that guy's on. So

1297
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 3: he's got he's got some value to this organization and

1298
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 3: it'll be fun to see him do that if he

1299
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 3: can stay healthy and now that he gets healthy and

1300
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 3: come back and pick up where he left off. Yeah,

1301
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 3: that's that's Those are three good names. Three good names.

1302
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Bobby. Let's go to Gabe in California. Next, what's up, Gabe? Gabe?

1303
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 3: You there?

1304
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 1: Yes, I am, Hey, what do you got for us?

1305
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 3: Hey?

1306
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 13: So, I know we were talking about some trade deadline propositions.

1307
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 13: And I was thinking about this this morning. What do

1308
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 13: you guys think about Max Crosby from the Raiders. I

1309
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 13: know he had a kind of a difficult end of

1310
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 13: the season and he might not want to return there.

1311
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 13: And then as far as wide receiver, how about a

1312
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 13: guy like Chris o'lave. Probably wouldn't cost as much as

1313
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 13: Justin Jefferson, But I'm thinking if we could get those

1314
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 13: two guys, world of difference, said Nick. Thanks guys, love

1315
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 13: your show.

1316
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks, Gabe. I think you're talking about some.

1317
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 2: Pretty steep prices. If there is word that Max Crosby

1318
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 2: is not happy in Las Vegas and wants out. From

1319
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 2: what I have heard, there was a team, and I

1320
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 2: believe it was Seattle, they offered two number ones for

1321
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 2: Max Crosby and the Raiders declined. Now that was during

1322
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 2: the season. I suppose the price tag could change in

1323
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,440
Speaker 2: the off season and maybe two ones do get it done.

1324
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 2: But a twenty eight year old pass rusher in his

1325
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 2: prime and a guy that you're never gonna wonder what

1326
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna get from him on game day is an

1327
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 2: attractive commodity. But by the looks of it, it's gonna

1328
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 2: take two ones and then some and.

1329
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 1: That is a steep price. So and not to mention

1330
01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: the fact that there are going.

1331
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 2: To be multiple teams interested, which is going to lead

1332
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 2: to a bidding more and then the person the team

1333
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 2: that gets him is probably going to overpay to make

1334
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 2: it happen.

1335
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: Right, And here's the other thing.

1336
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 2: I don't think the Bills are one player away.

1337
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: I think it's more than that. And defensively, yeah yeah.

1338
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 2: And so giving up all of those assets at least

1339
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 2: two ones and probably more for Max Crosby when it

1340
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 2: doesn't get you all the way there, I don't know.

1341
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1342
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 3: So, yeah, Crosby's a difference maker. And you can make

1343
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 3: the case that one guy like that and finger quotes

1344
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 3: everybody else being healthy, like Michael Hoyt, ed, Max Harston,

1345
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 3: you know, Benford Bernard, the whole thing. It seems like

1346
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:57,680
Speaker 3: you would be really upgraded. And that may be true, but.

1347
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: The price tag gives you a pause.

1348
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 3: It does give you pause. And if it was yeah, yeah,

1349
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 3: that's a.

1350
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 2: And here's why it gives me pause. Let's just think

1351
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 2: about this trade that happened this season. Sauce Gardner gets

1352
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 2: traded from the Jets to the Colts, and the Colts

1353
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 2: give up two first round picks to acquire a number

1354
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 2: one cornerback. Gardner plays two games, gets injured, the Colts

1355
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 2: season goes.

1356
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: Up in smoke.

1357
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: They don't even make the playoffs, and now they don't

1358
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 2: pick in the first round for the.

1359
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: Next two years.

1360
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 2: That that's the other side of the coin that you

1361
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 2: have to think of, how can they get better without

1362
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 2: first round picks for the next two years. And they're

1363
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,799
Speaker 2: married to Daniel Jones who's coming off a major injury

1364
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 2: and they don't know what he's gonna look like, let

1365
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 2: alone if he's gonna be ready in September. Yeah, and

1366
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 2: you're out two ones, So I think you have to.

1367
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, I love Max Crosby, would love

1368
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 2: to have them on the Bills, but the cost gives

1369
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 2: me major pause.

1370
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 3: If one of the things that has been so fun

1371
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 3: about this football team, the Bills I'm talking about over

1372
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 3: the last six, seven, eight years, is how big a

1373
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 3: contender they are each and every year. I mean, they're

1374
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 3: right there each and every year. And the frustrating part

1375
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 3: is always, of course, how the season ends with that

1376
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 3: one last play that we wish we would have had

1377
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 3: all that stuff, And when you start dealing future ones,

1378
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 3: particularly two of them, you risk being a contender next

1379
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 3: year or the year after, when in reality, you could

1380
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 3: still stay right there. Even if you go to and

1381
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 3: win it, you're still gonna come right back because you're

1382
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 3: gonna have another draft picking and all that stuff. You're

1383
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 3: gonna be right there with the same assets. So it's

1384
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 3: hard to push all your chips to the middle of

1385
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 3: the table and get a guy like Sauce Gardener and

1386
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 3: then have it go up and smoke, because that's a

1387
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 3: lot of that's a lot of hope on one guy

1388
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 3: who might step off the curb wrong or slip and

1389
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 3: fall when he's getting out of the whirlpool, and all

1390
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 3: of it's for nothing. So uh yes, I'm I'm all

1391
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 3: for getting good players like that matter. Crosby is a

1392
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,520
Speaker 3: game changer, he's a game wrecker. At him justin Jefferson

1393
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 3: Jefferson two that you got to find thing to me,

1394
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 3: and I don't know, Chris O. Love is a really

1395
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 3: good player, no question about it.

1396
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: A concussion to me.

1397
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 3: And I'm on the wide receiver train too a little bit.

1398
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 3: But I also know that the wide receiver trains crowded

1399
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 3: with wide receivers. There's a ton of those guys out there,

1400
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 3: a ton of them. You just got to find the

1401
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 3: right one. You don't have to unlike that. Christal Lovey

1402
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 3: is a perfect example. He's one of ten guys that

1403
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 3: could be the right guy, could come to Buffalo and flourish.

1404
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm yeah, give it a shot. But yeah,

1405
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 3: because Chris o'labby and just like the rest of those

1406
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 3: wide receivers, they are not as expensive as a Max

1407
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 3: Crosby or a T. J. Watt or or Justin Jeffes

1408
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 3: or Micah Parsons was this year or you know those

1409
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 3: go down that list, you go down that that rabbit hole.

1410
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 3: That's a big, big price tag because those guards got

1411
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 3: those guys are very very rare.

1412
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 2: Break time for us here more of your phone calls

1413
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 2: when we get back here on One Bill's Live, presented

1414
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 2: by Klida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1415
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: All right back here on One Bill's Live.

1416
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 2: Which player will benefit the most from the Bill's new

1417
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 2: coordinator hires? You let us know at a eight oh

1418
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 2: three zero five fifty one eight eight five fifty two

1419
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:01,480
Speaker 2: to Glenn in Newfane.

1420
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: Next what's up, Glenn.

1421
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 22: Well, as usual, I can't answer your questions very well

1422
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 22: because listening to people call in and then, oh my god,

1423
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 22: I got to say something about that, I got to

1424
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 22: say something about this. My memory is not very good either.

1425
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 22: But the one guy mentioned well, I did have a

1426
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 22: couple of points I did, for some reason remember them originally.

1427
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 22: But the guy brought up Milano. Obviously, you know, I'm

1428
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 22: guessing he's going to be moving on. It's a shame,

1429
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 22: you know that he was injured so much, but it's

1430
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 22: obviously a tough game. When he was healthy last yeary

1431
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:41,680
Speaker 22: seemed to be the healthiest I've seen him in a

1432
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 22: long time. It looked like the old Milano and that

1433
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 22: was pretty exciting to see, you know, cause you gotta

1434
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:49,600
Speaker 22: you get a feel for the kid. He put a

1435
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 22: lot of work in all those rehabs, you know, going

1436
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 22: through all that. We've had a lot of guys obviously

1437
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 22: struggling like that. But that was good to see. I

1438
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 22: have two things on offense, two things on defense that

1439
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 22: I think we need to get done, which probably everybody

1440
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 22: they're relatively obvious. On offense, obviously we have to well

1441
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:14,759
Speaker 22: I keep saying, obviously, I don't know if it's obvious

1442
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 22: to anybody, but the wide receiver group just needs to

1443
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:21,919
Speaker 22: be reworked. This whole thing, it needs to be rebuilt,

1444
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 22: in my opinion. Just throwing the ball to these guys

1445
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 22: two and three times a game and then all the fans,

1446
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 22: you know, griping about, oh, you can't catch the ball.

1447
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 22: I'd like to see a wide receiver group where you're

1448
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 22: throwing it to each guy like three or four times,

1449
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 22: or even more if you get a groove going, you know,

1450
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 22: with Josh, So the wide receiver group, that's going to

1451
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 22: be a job and a half right there. But to

1452
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 22: back up our offensive line, we're probably going to lose

1453
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 22: one or two guys there and free agency. We got

1454
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 22: to keep that line strong. Looking at Josh getting beat

1455
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 22: up so bad this year, we have to to keep

1456
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 22: the line what it's been for years now. The consistency

1457
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 22: on the offensive side, besides the quarterback position over on defense, now,

1458
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 22: there's gonna be a lot of changes obviously with going

1459
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 22: more into more of a three four. You know, these

1460
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 22: guys are moving around a lot anyway, so it's not

1461
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 22: like it's always three front four and you know, the DBS,

1462
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 22: who knows what we're going to do with the way

1463
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 22: it was with that nickel.

1464
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: So what are your two things on defense?

1465
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:30,759
Speaker 3: Glenn?

1466
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 22: Okay, the two things on defense. First of all, a

1467
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 22: consistent pass rush that we haven't had in quite a while,

1468
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 22: and I think hopefully Hoyt comes back and that can

1469
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 22: be part of our positive. The other thing is the

1470
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 22: lack of consistent tackling. These guys running through our backfield

1471
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 22: like untouched last year is the worst. It was atrocious,

1472
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 22: sick to look at. Made me sick to my stomach

1473
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 22: a couple of games. Thank you, guys, appreciate it.

1474
01:16:59,320 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 7: Go.

1475
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1476
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 2: I mean, tackling was a problem last year. There were

1477
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 2: stretches of games, There were entire games where the tackling

1478
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 2: was just not up to the standard, and the coaching

1479
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 2: staff even admitted that it was a problem and a

1480
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 2: persistent problem, because it'd be good for a few weeks,

1481
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 2: and then it would come back and rear a ugly

1482
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 2: ahead again and be good for a couple of games,

1483
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 2: and it'd be a problem again. So yeah, and I

1484
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 2: think at least the front seven with this kind of

1485
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:32,919
Speaker 2: defensive system usually looks for taller, longer players, and sometimes

1486
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 2: that makes you a better tackling unit, because even if

1487
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 2: you're not in perfect position to make a form tackle,

1488
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 2: just by virtue of your height and length, you could

1489
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:44,639
Speaker 2: still get the guy on the ground, or at least

1490
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 2: hang on to him until help arrives.

1491
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a major reason.

1492
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 2: The bottom line is you got to fundamentally be better

1493
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 2: tackling team. Let's see how this coaching staff does with that,

1494
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 2: you know. And yeah, pass rush is obvious. It's been

1495
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 2: a problem for years. It's got to get fixed, and

1496
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 2: maybe the scheme will help with that.

1497
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. The only thing you said there that hasn't been

1498
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 3: called about till today is the offensive line. Yeah, I

1499
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 3: would agree with you, Brownie and I talked about this

1500
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 3: years ago, after two thousand and I believe nineteen or

1501
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 3: was it eighteen? I think it was nineteen Josh's second year.

1502
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 3: They just needed to upgrade it and they did, and

1503
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 3: it was his.

1504
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,719
Speaker 2: Rookie year because he got hurt. That right, they couldn't

1505
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 2: run the ball, that's right. Bring in four new alignment

1506
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 2: in nineteen.

1507
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 3: Right, So that that was the moment when they did it,

1508
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 3: and they they never wavered from it and they have

1509
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 3: been there ever since. Yeah, this is the first year

1510
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 3: in a couple where they have some question marks going in.

1511
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,639
Speaker 3: Even last year. Moving Connor McGovern or two years ago,

1512
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 3: moving Connor mcgovernor over to center from guard, everybody was,

1513
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 3: you know they you know, everybody's panicking. And the first

1514
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 3: time we heard Connor mcgovernor address that issue, everybody at

1515
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 3: ease because he was really excited about getting the chance

1516
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 3: and it was let's go, And then that changed everything.

1517
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 3: The offensive line has to stay intact, if not with

1518
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 3: the same guys, at least the same quality of guys.

1519
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 3: I mean, you may not be able to sign Connor

1520
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 3: McGovern and David Edwards, but you need that offensive line

1521
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 3: to be good. Your offense is humming along with all

1522
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,440
Speaker 3: the conversation and all the controversy about the wide receivers

1523
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 3: and all the stuff going on. Let's face it, it

1524
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 3: centers around number seventeen. Protect him and give him a

1525
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 3: run game. You do that with an offensive line. You

1526
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 3: can't let that deterior out no matter what else.

1527
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they've got some young players in the pipeline

1528
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 2: that could ascend into those roles, but I think they

1529
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 2: if they can't hold on to both David Edwards and

1530
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 2: Connor McGovern they probably bring in at least one free

1531
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 2: agent and they probably draft somebody.

1532
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 3: You've Yeah, you gotta keep strong upfront. I mean that's

1533
01:19:56,600 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 3: don't let your strengths erode and an effort to fix

1534
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 3: your problems.

1535
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 2: As we told you, all three coordinators spoke today. We

1536
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 2: heard from Jim Leonard earlier in the show. We wanted

1537
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 2: to get you some comments from offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael

1538
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 2: as well, who had an interesting story to tell about

1539
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 2: some of Joe Brady's first years with Pete Carmichael and

1540
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 2: a trip to LSU that led to another opportunity for

1541
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:20,799
Speaker 2: Joe Brady.

1542
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 1: Here's coach Carmichael.

1543
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 7: Joe loved New Orleans. He hadn't called a play yet.

1544
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 3: Curious what your advice was when he went to LSU

1545
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,719
Speaker 3: and what you've thought of just the evolution you've seen

1546
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 3: from him as he's ascended and become.

1547
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 2: A play color. He's been doing this now for several years.

1548
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 23: I'll give you a couple of stories. So early in

1549
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,720
Speaker 23: our time in New Orleans, we interviewed him, and when

1550
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 23: we interviewed him, we kind of knew right away he

1551
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 23: needs to be in the quarterback room. Just hearing him

1552
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,799
Speaker 23: talk the way he communicated could paying a queer picture.

1553
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,679
Speaker 23: And so early in his time in the QB room,

1554
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 23: whether Sean Payton was talking, Drew Brees was talking, Joe

1555
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 23: whoever was talking, he had his head down and he

1556
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,599
Speaker 23: was writing notes. And then eventually, you know, maybe Sean

1557
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 23: might ask him a question and you hear the answer

1558
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,839
Speaker 23: and you'd be like oh, And so then the questions

1559
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 23: became more and more because he could create you know,

1560
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 23: he had knowledge of the game and he could create

1561
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 23: such a good picture of his with his communication. And

1562
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 23: then that first off season in New Orleans, I got

1563
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,200
Speaker 23: a call from Ed Ordron and he says, hey, well

1564
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 23: you come down and speak to our staff and I

1565
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 23: want you to speak about red zone. He said, yeah, sure,

1566
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 23: all come and he said, hey, can you bring a

1567
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 23: pro personnel guy that can talk about like how you

1568
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 23: guys evaluate talent and like what you're looking for and

1569
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 23: then and do you have anybody in there that can

1570
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:41,640
Speaker 23: talk about RPOs? And I was like, well, we got

1571
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 23: a young guy because there wasn't something that we were

1572
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 23: doing in New Orleans at the time, and we went

1573
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 23: down to LSU. I did my little bit with the

1574
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,560
Speaker 23: offensive staff. The pro personal guy did his thing, and

1575
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 23: then all of a sudden, Joe was it was his

1576
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:56,639
Speaker 23: turn to talk. And when I tell you, the whole

1577
01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 23: building was in there, and I was kind of like, oh,

1578
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 23: we were just the opening act for this guy, for

1579
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 23: this rock star. And I'm telling you, I started taking

1580
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 23: notes just listening to him talk and just uh, I mean,

1581
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,600
Speaker 23: you knew early on that this guy was going to

1582
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 23: be pretty good.

1583
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 8: You you were very instrumental in Alvin Kamara's development, right,

1584
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 8: you gotta you gotta start running back here in James Cook,

1585
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 8: how would you help him involve until you know.

1586
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,640
Speaker 7: That that that that type of back Well, I think this.

1587
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 23: I think he's probably already proven that he's done some

1588
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:32,479
Speaker 23: of those things. Right, He's he's pretty good. So uh

1589
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:34,640
Speaker 23: maybe my goal is just not to screw him up.

1590
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 23: But uh no, he uh, you know, just any great

1591
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 23: player wants to, hey, what is something that you know

1592
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 23: you might see and then you just you just give

1593
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 23: him a little coaching point or you know, have an

1594
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 23: opportunity to talk to him and visit with him, and uh,

1595
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 23: but just anything that you know that he might be

1596
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 23: able to use, whether it's something that you know, hey,

1597
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 23: Alvin used to do this or whatever, but I think, uh,

1598
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 23: I'm real excited about the player you think.

1599
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 7: You think about it than he was.

1600
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 24: He's such a big part of the run game, but

1601
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:08,240
Speaker 24: also the pass game. How do you go about getting

1602
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 24: somebody who has that skill set. When they drafted James,

1603
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 24: they talk a lot about his ability in the passing game.

1604
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 24: Get him more involved in producing in that part, especially being.

1605
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 7: A valve for Josh.

1606
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think that uh, you know, part of that

1607
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 23: may just be as a coaching staff giving him those opportunities.

1608
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 23: But then, uh, you know, as you're game planning in

1609
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 23: the during the week, you're making sure that hey, there's

1610
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 23: enough in there for him that those opportunities are going

1611
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 23: to happen. And you know, there's some teams where you

1612
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 23: feel you might feel better about your matchups inside with

1613
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 23: your running backs and your tight ends as opposed to

1614
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 23: on the out side. And then there's some weeks where

1615
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 23: so I think it can vary week to week, but

1616
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 23: just you know, giving him those opportunities getting the ball

1617
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 23: in his hands, and uh, you know, what, what do.

1618
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 6: You think you've been You've been in the role of

1619
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 6: the right hand man for an offensive head coach, play caller.

1620
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 6: What do you think your biggest strengths are that you

1621
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 6: bring it to the table in that role and you've

1622
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 6: you've been doing it for a long time, so you

1623
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 6: must be doing some things pretty well.

1624
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 12: Oh.

1625
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 23: I think there's a little bit of organization that comes

1626
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 23: with that, making sure that the staff is all on

1627
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 23: the same page when when Joe is not going to

1628
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 23: be able to be there, when Sean used to not

1629
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 23: be able to be there, which was you know, more

1630
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 23: often than maybe you think, because they're doing, you know,

1631
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 23: some of their other responsibilities. But again, just when it

1632
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:24,600
Speaker 23: comes to even just as creating the game plan and

1633
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 23: coming up with some ideas that you know that the

1634
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,719
Speaker 23: head coach is going to like, you know, hey, here's

1635
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,599
Speaker 23: some thoughts for you. Uh, we put them together. And

1636
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 23: but again it's just it's really the process of whatever

1637
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 23: is going on without him being able to be in

1638
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 23: the room, that his message is being portrayed.

1639
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 6: If I could ask about, because Aaron Cromer was heavily

1640
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 6: involved with the run game here, is that going to

1641
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 6: be something you're going to take on or is that

1642
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 6: going to be an offensive line coach that would that

1643
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 6: would be more.

1644
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 23: Of an offensive line and or uh, you know whether

1645
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 23: o line, running backs coach or the just now wine

1646
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 23: that group will come up with that.

1647
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 3: All right.

1648
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 2: So that's Bill's offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael. Cool story he

1649
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 2: told about Joe Brady because he ended up getting the

1650
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 2: job as the pass game coordinator at LSU.

1651
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:14,640
Speaker 1: After giving that speech on RPOs. They hired him.

1652
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 2: They called him the next week and said, hey, you

1653
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 2: want to come do stuff for us, And before he

1654
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 2: knew it, he was in l s U before finding

1655
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 2: his way back to the NFL.

1656
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break here.

1657
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:24,640
Speaker 2: We'll see if we can squeeze a phone call in

1658
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 2: when we get back here on One Bill's Live. All right,

1659
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 2: back here on One Bill's Love, Chris Brown, Steve tasks,

1660
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 2: are you gonna sqeeze a phone call in here?

1661
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:50,439

01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 17: How you doing, guys?

1663
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:51,720
Speaker 1: Good?

1664
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 17: I was just wondering a lot of the NFL draft

1665
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 17: pundits and stuff. We're talking about uh C. G Allen

1666
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:07,719
Speaker 17: from Georgia, yep, the linebacker and then Saint John Fincher,

1667
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 17: uh Fisher and stuff. The the where we play, you

1668
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 17: know our trend you know during the off season, is

1669
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 17: that a grass field, and is the NFL going to

1670
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 17: uh go to a more uh player friendly grass you know,

1671
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:34,520
Speaker 17: surface and stuff, you know to get these non contact

1672
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 17: injuries and stuff you know out of the out of

1673
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 17: the game.

1674
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 2: Sure thing. Happy to answer all those wind well. First

1675
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 2: of all, C J. Allen, I'm a big fan of his.

1676
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 2: It's a good linebacker draft. He's not the only guy,

1677
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,879
Speaker 2: but if you need a mic linebacker for your defense,

1678
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 2: whether it's a four to three or three four, that's

1679
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 2: your guy. Tremendous leadership potential, loves to play football. He's

1680
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 2: a junkie, uh and he's super athletics six two, two

1681
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 2: thirty five, really good play.

1682
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: I've seen him play in person.

1683
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 3: You'd like to see you'd like to think he might be.

1684
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: There at number twenty, got a good chance.

1685
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,679
Speaker 2: As far as Saint John Fisher grass field, they actually

1686
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 2: have one and a half grass fields and they do

1687
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 2: most of their practicing on those fields. As we know

1688
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:19,680
Speaker 2: the new stadium we'll have a grass field as well across.

1689
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:20,320
Speaker 1: The street from us here.

1690
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 2: And then as far as player safety and turf fields,

1691
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,600
Speaker 2: the league just put out his study last week that

1692
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 2: said the percentage of injuries is less than one percent

1693
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 2: higher on turf fields than it is on grass fields overall.

1694
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 2: And I don't think that's a significant enough difference to

1695
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 2: prompt a change where the league says, rip out all

1696
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 2: your turf fields, We're going natural surface everywhere.

1697
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening.

1698
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 3: Stage that will not lend themselves to being able to

1699
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 3: have grass fields all the indoor.

1700
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: St Yeah, Steves, Michael, go ahead.

1701
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1702
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 2: The there are some fields that just aren't compatible because

1703
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:07,479
Speaker 2: they're older to change over from turf to grass, and

1704
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 2: there are some in some northern climates that it's just

1705
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 2: not a.

1706
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: Great idea to do that.

1707
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:17,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, I I don't anticipate a sea of change

1708
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 2: in terms of playing surface going forward, you know.

1709
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: And and you're gonna still not working. We got one,

1710
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 1: got one Mike left here with ninety seconds to go.

1711
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 7: Uh.

1712
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 1: We do have another show tomorrow.

1713
01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 2: We might dive into more of what was said today

1714
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 2: from the coordinators, particularly Special Teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers.

1715
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: Because I fixed it was user fixed, go figure. So

1716
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: we'll we'll dive into that a little bit more. Sorry,

1717
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 1: it just lobbed it.

1718
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:51,720
Speaker 3: Up to me.

1737
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:47,280
