Last day 15 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: of the offseason conditioning program this week for the veterans 16 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: and the rookies start to arrive probably right now, getting 17 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: into town this afternoon. Right, A lot of paperwork to 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: sign off on physicals, to take W nine forms, you know, 19 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: the whole thing, all the stuff that they got to 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: do with the human Resources department today. Get that all 21 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: out of the way today so they can just focus 22 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: on football tomorrow. So tomorrow they'll be on the field 23 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 1: around midday. We'll have Chris will be out there reporting 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: from the rookie practice tomorrow. The first day of the 25 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: three day rookie mini camp starts tomorrow. On the field, 26 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: they may get some of these rookie signed, I would 27 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: think today. Huh. Well, I mean ever since the new 28 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: CBA came in in twenty eleven, you know, this CBA 29 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: has eliminated what was a problem prior to the current CYBA, 30 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: which was rookie holdouts, Guys missing most of the spring, 31 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: sometimes weeks of training camp, sometimes even the preseason, and 32 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: it's set players back, and when you have investments in 33 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: first round draft Like perfect example would be at Oliver 34 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: Guy's the ninth pick in the draft. He's an odds 35 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: on favorite to art at defensive tackle for the Bills. 36 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: In the old system, if this guy held out, missed 37 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: two weeks of training camp, he's behind and he's probably 38 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: not starting week one for you now. So now a 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: key piece of your future that you were going to 40 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: plug in in week one and arguably play sixty five 41 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: percent of the snaps and make a difference for you 42 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: on the field is suddenly not there the first month 43 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: of the season because he's so far behind because of 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: a holdout, and it was clear that ownership wanted to 45 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: get rid of that, so they set up this rookie 46 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: pay structure where these exorbiting contracts are no longer part 47 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: of the equation. You know. So you know, everybody talks 48 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: about Sam Bradford being the last you know, first round 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: pick quarterback that made stupid money, you know, before the 50 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: new CBA came in, and that is in fact the case. 51 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: But what this effectively does is it wipes out all 52 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: the him and in han and negotiating and haggling because 53 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: it's pretty cut and dry what the contract's going to be. 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: It's usually a two or three percent increase over the 55 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: year before about the guy that was drafted in that spot, 56 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: with exceptions, you know, if you had a defensive back 57 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: and then the next year it's a quarterback drafted in 58 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: that same spot, it's going to be a little different. 59 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: But beyond that, it's pretty cut and dry negotiations are 60 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: and so more often than not, a lot of the 61 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: draft choices for all of the teams in the league 62 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: are signed by the time rookie Mini Camp is over, 63 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: if not shortly thereafter. The greatest practical accomplishment, maybe the 64 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: only accomplishment of the twenty eleven Yeah, the CPA and 65 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: the lockout that year. Right, players would argue that another 66 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: plus was not having the wear and tear on their 67 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: bodies all year round with the limited practice schedules and 68 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: all the rules they're in which we're observing now, because 69 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: really it's not real football with helmets and pads until 70 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: you get the training camp, and that was not the 71 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: case back in the day, when guys had helmets and 72 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: pads on, certainly for all of the three day mini 73 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: camp and sometimes for the last two weeks of OTAs 74 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: that went away. The other part of that argument, though, 75 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: is that it didn't really benefit the game that much. 76 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: Right the limited practice time, coaches would tell you, and 77 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: fans might tell you that too. How ragged the play 78 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: is in the first few weeks of the regular season. 79 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: Tip consistencies sure, at any rate, Um, there they are. 80 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: We're on the transition day between veterans and rookies. Veterans 81 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: come back next Monday to continue on with their offseason conditioning. 82 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: The rookies spend the weekend here. They have like a 83 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: rookie development program after that, which is a couple of 84 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: days after this weekend, right, and then they have a 85 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: symposium a couple of weeks later. I think that's after 86 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: Ota start though, right where they go away for the 87 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: rookie symposium for a few days too. So a transition 88 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: day here at one Bill's Drive and Chris and I 89 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: are here to get here.

He's coming to Niagara 99 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: Falls next week. And so we got Frank Caliendo on 100 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: the show. Look, if you have somebody you'd like to 101 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: hear him, do send it a tweet We'll ask him 102 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: to do it. You know, just tweeted into one Bill's Live. 103 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: But Frank Caliendo impression that you think he does, you 104 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: know he does, You've seen him do. Tweet it in 105 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: and we'll ask him to do it. We got Sean 106 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: O'Hara from the NFL Network, one of their top reporters, 107 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: joins us at one o'clock. We talked to Sean at 108 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: the super Bowl super Bowl week down in Atlanta and 109 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: the lowdown with the Renzo Alexander coming up today at 110 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: about two o'clock. So that's the line of for Divid's 111 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: a good lineup, Chris good guest lineup today. I like it. 112 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: I'm in favor of it. I'm for it. Yeah. Who's 113 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: your favorite Kliendo impression target? I mean he does so many. 114 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: Mine is Gruden John Gruden. Well, yeah, and it's mostly 115 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: because not just the way he sounds like Gruden, but 116 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 1: the way he contorts his face to look like Gruden 117 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: facial expression. I think it's amazing and I think that's 118 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: what sets him apart from a lot of other impressionists. 119 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: He matches a lot of the mannerisms too. You know, 120 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: you can think back to old impressionists, you know, rich Little. 121 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: He used to do the rubbing in the nose that 122 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: Johnny Carson used to do. I mean he did a 123 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: great Carson, but not too many of the impressionists have 124 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: all of the mannerisms and facial expressions down too, and 125 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: Calliendo has that in spade. So yeah, I was stunned 126 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: to know that Caliendo does a very good Morgan Freeman voice, which, 127 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: if you think about it, is not easy to do. 128 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: It's almost like you've got to back your voice off 129 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: and almost swallow it into the back of your throat 130 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: and try to talk from there while also having a 131 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: lot of bass. And then yeah, so I don't know 132 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: how how you pull that off and also pronounce words 133 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: in the same ways that a lot of these guys do, 134 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, like h Morgan Freeman, any word that ends 135 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: in T y, it's like a it's a trail off, 136 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: you know, like community, you know what I mean, Like 137 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: it's that's how he does it. Well, yeah, that's right, Yeah, 138 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: a little shawshank there for you. No, so I kind 139 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: of I may pine for a Morgan Freeman. All right, 140 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: Well ask rendition again. If you have a frank Calliendo 141 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,679 Speaker 1: impression you'd like him to do send us in a tweet. 142 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: We'll ask him to do it, but perhaps he's going 143 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: to join us at twelve thirty today, about twenty four 144 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: minutes from now. John Murphy with Chris Brown. Steve Tasker 145 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: returns to the show on Monday. Looking forward to that. 146 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: Great to have a Chris here Tomorrow. Chris will beyond 147 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: the field for the rookie workout. We got Thurman Thomas 148 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: coming into not participating, just so it's he'll be observing 149 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: the rookie workout. We'll get Chris's reports on how the 150 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: rookies look. Thurman Thomas joins us on the show tomorrow 151 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: as well. We'll get his thoughts on the rookies and 152 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: the draft. We haven't talked to Thurman in a long time. Um, 153 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: since we last spoke Chris, you celebrated what you told 154 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: me before the show was maybe your greatest sports fan 155 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: moment of the last twenty of this millenni calendar year 156 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: of this year, definitely a soccer moment that you watched 157 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: on television. It was fantastic. Tottenham's Champions League semifinal yesterday 158 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: between Tottenham and I as a Dutch team and Basically, 159 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: Tottenham was behind the eight ball in terms of trying 160 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: to advance. They not only had to win, but they 161 00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: also had to overcome a relatively manageable one one goal 162 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: aggregate deficit because total goal scored is part of the equation. 163 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: If both teams win the home in a way series 164 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: of each team wins one game, it goes to goal scored. 165 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: So they lost the first game one nothing. Now they 166 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: had to go to the other team's venue not only 167 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: win there, but you know, win by two goals unless 168 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: it got you know, goal scored situation complicated. Problem is 169 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: they went down to nothing in the first half and 170 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: they are an injury riddled group. They they're missing their 171 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: top goal scorer, couple of midfielders, some defend defenders were 172 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: also out of the lineup, so they had a ragtag 173 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: bunch that they were throwing out there for the most part, 174 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: and so they were underdogs, even though some would argue 175 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: that collectively, when healthy, they'd be a better team than 176 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: their opponent yesterday. So they're down to nothing. It's looking 177 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: bad and I'm telling you right now, when a game 178 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: starts trending in one direction, these English announcers, they're kicking 179 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: dirt on teams really, I mean it's just to a 180 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: degree that you don't see in American broadcasting. Well, it 181 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: looks like that's all it's gonna be. For tatting them 182 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: in their run an attempt. You know, there's they're burying them. 183 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: This young i AX team is unbelievable. What they've put 184 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: together is looks like it's all curtains for you know, 185 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean like they're just doom and gloom all the way. 186 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, they were not even halftime yet, can 187 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: we just come on? So second half, second half, they 188 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: come out and they're a little striker Lucas More who's 189 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: a Brazilian guy. He scores two quick goals in the 190 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: span of five minutes. Now it's two to two in 191 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: a game, and you want to hear broadcasters turn in 192 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: their in their description of a game, Holy cow, they say, well, 193 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: apparent Leah, they're not dead yet. They're still life. You know, 194 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: there's still a pulse for the Spurs, you know, like 195 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: there's just going bananas. So now we're getting to the 196 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: latter stages of the game, and at two two, that's 197 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: still not enough. They have to win the game three 198 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: to two, and then because they scored three goals, including 199 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: three away gold goals to their total, they would advance 200 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: to the final. They just have to win three to two. 201 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: But now they're getting to the ninetieth minute. Nothing's happening. 202 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: They're trying. They completely change their tactics. They're just playing 203 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: long ball up the field to a target man, their 204 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: giant guy that they put in the game. And so 205 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: it's still nothing. They have a couple of corner kicks, 206 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: it's off the crossbar. They're just missing. Unbelievable kick saves, this, that, 207 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: and the other. So they get to so the referee, 208 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: due to injury and other stoppages of play, as determined 209 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: there will be five minutes of added time. So they 210 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: get to the ninetieth minute, still no goal. Ninety second minute, 211 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: another corner kicked. The calculate that I know, but it's 212 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: it's I'm sure there's a complicated algorithm for it. I 213 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: are you sure you? But so they long story short, 214 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: and I know I've failed in that already. But ninety 215 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: fifth minute, they boot the ball up the field, they 216 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: get a flick, they get a touch. You don't know 217 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: how much time's left, but you know it's no I 218 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: can see it on the screen, but it's reached five minutes, 219 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: so they could blow the whistle at any time, like 220 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: they are, you know, they put up five minutes of 221 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: extra time. We're at the ninety fifth minute, so they 222 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: could blow the whistle at any moment. So it's just 223 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: that it's an estimation on the part of the people 224 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: up at the scoreboard based on what the official has. 225 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: But the official is the only one that really knows 226 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: how much time is truly left. So it's the ninety 227 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: fifth minute. They're trying to get the ball up the 228 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: field and somehow, some way they win a flick. They 229 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: make a clever pass inside the box and the and 230 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: the little guy that scored the first two goals scores 231 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: the game winning third goal, Lucas Mora. He scores it 232 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: with in the ninety fifth minute and change. So the 233 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: game is like in its dying breath, and he scores 234 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: the goal, and people are going bananas, the coaches, the 235 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: bench players, they're all running on the field. The final 236 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: whistle has not been blown yet, but it essentially means 237 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna win the game, because you know, it's very 238 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: hard to come back down the other end and score, 239 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, tie the game, everybody went bananas. We have 240 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: audio and video from the TNT broadcast setting and also 241 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: audio from the Brazilian Yeah, this is the Portuguese language 242 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: game call of the game, because even though this is 243 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: a game that takes place in Europe, it has wide 244 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: world wide appeal because the Champions League represents the best 245 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: four teams from each of the major leagues all across Europe. 246 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: So like the four best teams in the Spanish League, 247 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: the four best teams in the English League, French League, 248 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: UH German League, UH Italian League, and the Dutch League. 249 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: So you've got all these teams, the best of the 250 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: best player. It's like an NCAA tournament with thirty two teams. 251 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: And so when you get to the sound, I mean 252 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: it's worldwide broadcast. So this is the Portuguese broadcast. After Lucas, 253 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: who is Brazilian, scores the winning goal, listen to this. 254 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: This is pretty cool. What did you how shad? How 255 00:12:39,240 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: about a ship looking on this God? Then Lucas Luka 256 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: and that in the video side. If you're watching on MSG, 257 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: that's Luca Ashma who scored the goal. Listening to his 258 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: name being repeated over and over again, and those poor announcers. 259 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: They're in a tiny little booth. It appears they're probably 260 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: not even at the venue, right. I'm probably watching on video, 261 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: so it's possible that they're watching it on video, but 262 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: it's possible that they're there too. Depends on the budget, um, 263 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: but yeah, they and Lucas. They had Lucas watch it 264 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: to get his reaction to the call, and I mean, 265 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: the guy's crying after watching it, and he basically said, 266 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: it's very emotional for me because as a little kid, 267 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: I always dreamed of playing in the Champions League and 268 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: winning a Champions League final, and to get there is 269 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: just he goes, It's a dream come true. So you know, 270 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: these guys from a very young age are watching these 271 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: games and then to be in it, uh, you know, 272 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: in such a soccer craze nation as Brazil, I can't 273 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: imagine what he was feeling yesterday scoring that last goal 274 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: after scoring the first two. So it was just it 275 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: was so improbable, so unexpected, based on how injury riddled 276 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: that team was to win that game and overcome the odds. 277 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: And the other semi final, which was between Barcelona and Liverpool. 278 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: Barcelona had won the first game three nothing. So basically 279 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: Liverpool not only had to win their second game against 280 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: Barcelona in their home and away series, they had to 281 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: shut out Barcelona and win by four goals, and they 282 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: won four nothing. Well, so it was a complete reversal 283 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: there too. And Barcelona is has been a favorite for 284 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: the longest time. They've been the class of La Liga 285 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: for a long time with Royal Madrid. So just really 286 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: two I poppingly entertaining semi finals, just you know, heart 287 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: attack type stuff, just unbelieving. I needed to take a 288 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: nap after that game. I was running through my house. 289 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: I sounded like that announcer. That's what I sounded like 290 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: running through my home yesterday watching the end of that game. 291 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: I could not believe it. My son set asking me 292 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: what the heck I'm doing now. He follows that because 293 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: he plays, but he didn't realize that by that by 294 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: scoring that goal, they advanced to the final, so he 295 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: had no idea. So he's like, oh, so that's why 296 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: you're screaming so like, and my wife thinks I'm a lunatic. 297 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: But that's a whole nother ball of wax there. So 298 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: that the final takes place in Madrid on June first 299 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: between Liverpool and Tottenham, who are two English League teams, 300 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: same format, A couple of games, one game, one game, 301 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: so it's it's winner take all. So yeah, the final 302 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: for the Champions League. Yeah, and Tottenham in Liverpool gotta 303 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: be what three or four hours away at most, right 304 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: apart from each oh in England? Yeah, I mean tottenhams 305 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: a London based team. How far as Liverpool, I don't know. 306 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't know the geography very well. I probably should 307 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: brush up on that. But June first is a is 308 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: it a weekday or a weekend? It's a Saturday, so 309 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: that's where you will be that day. Actually, I am 310 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: going to be coaching a soccer tournament that weekend, so 311 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to DVR it and like completely isolate 312 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: myself from social media because I do want to watch 313 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: that in my own real time. Yeah. I hate watching 314 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: it back when you know what happens, don't you hate 315 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: doing that? Yeah? I can't do it. How did you 316 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: become a Tottenham fan? Well, once NBCSN got the contract 317 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: for English Premier League to air games every Saturday and 318 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: sometimes Monday night, they do Monday Night. I mean they've 319 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: really followed the NFL model to make their league what 320 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: it is now. I just finished a fascinating book that 321 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: our media relations guy, Chris Finnelli recommended to me, who, 322 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: by the way, is a giant Liverpool fan. He recommended 323 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: that book to me and I read it on a 324 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: recent vacation. It's called The Club and it was written 325 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: by two guys who were beat reporters in the English 326 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: Premier League for the last twenty years, and they kind 327 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: of explained the rise from what essentially was a humdrum 328 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: professional league in England into this global juggernaut that it is. 329 00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: It is probably the closest professional league overseas to the 330 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: NFL model that you will witness, and they solicited the 331 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: help of NFL people to lift their league into what 332 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: it is today, which is the English Premier League, whether 333 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: it's marketing the game, improving stadium conditions. I mean a 334 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: lot of those stadiums over there, they hadn't been improved 335 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: since the early nineteen hundreds. I mean, go into the 336 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: bathroom at halftime for fans was a chore so bad 337 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: that a lot of guys would go in the bushers 338 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: somewhere or leave the stadium and come back. I mean 339 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: it was really bad. Yeah, really really as late as 340 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: the early nineties, that's right. And that was another problem. 341 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: And they had cages around the field and people will 342 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: get pressed up against those cages and suffocate from the 343 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: It was really bad. So they had a lot of 344 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: that stuff to clean up. But it's it's a fascinating book, um, 345 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: even if you don't like soccer, just the marketing efforts 346 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: and a lot of these young maverick owners that bought in, 347 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: you know when it was a good time to buy, 348 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: and then you know, invested to build it up into 349 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: what it is today and make it a destination league, 350 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: not just for players in England but for other European 351 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: countries players that want to come there because now they 352 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: can pay those players to play there. So it's and 353 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: it's one of the it's easily one of the most 354 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: competitive leagues top to bottom. There is no other European 355 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: soccer league that matches the parody that the NFL has, 356 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: like the English Premier League. So I mean there are 357 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: still there are still some halves and havenots, don't get 358 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: me wrong, but it's your fighting every week. The book 359 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: is the club the club. Yeah, okay, I'll look for that. 360 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: So I can give it to you. I finished it, okay. Yeah, 361 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: Chris Brown had a great day. You say I cut 362 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: the lung. Yeah, you didn't have a good day like that. 363 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: When I was done, I was happy I got it 364 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: done before. I didn't scream like that. That's great. It 365 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: was awesome. It was really well. I told you before 366 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: the show. It was probably the closest thing, the closest 367 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: thing that I can say I've experienced. Besides that was 368 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: when the Yankees came back from a two game deficit 369 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: in the World Series and won four games to two 370 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: over the Braves. I'm in a bar in my hometown 371 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: and I'm hugging people I don't even know after, you know, 372 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,959 Speaker 1: I mean, I was six years old the last time 373 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: the Yankees won a World Series, so in ninety six. 374 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: When Charlie Hayes catches that ball in Fell Territory on 375 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: the third base line, that was pretty big for me too. 376 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: So congratulations Chris Brown. And they haven't even won anything yet. 377 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: They've just gotten to the final, you know what I mean. 378 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: And we got a good show today. As we said, 379 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: Frank Kellander coming up in just about ten or fifteen 380 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: minutes or so, We've got Sean O'Hara from NFL Network 381 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: at one o'clock in Lorenzo Alexander or two. We got 382 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: an interesting Twitter question today, not a pole and it's 383 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: very basic and if as we have learned over the 384 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: months and years, the simplest questions are usually the best. 385 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: It's basically a fan question on Twitter and on the 386 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: phone lines. Which Buffalo Bill's player are you rooting for 387 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: the most in twenty nineteen? Rooting for? Who do you 388 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: really root for? Look, you're a Bills fan, probably watching 389 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: listening to this show. You have favorites, maybe people you 390 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: like more than others, you know those some of the backstories, 391 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: people that you might think need a break, need a 392 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: good season. Which Bills player are you rooting for the 393 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: most in twenty nineteen. Maybe it's a rookie the draft 394 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: picks just selected a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it's 395 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: a player coming off an injury. Maybe it's a second 396 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: year player who you saw a lot of last year 397 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: and you think this guy could be really good. Let 398 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: us know. We have phone lines open the eight oh 399 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,239 Speaker 1: three oh five fifty toll free one eight eight eight 400 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty, or you can send it 401 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: a tweet. We'll read it on the tweet sheet. Which 402 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: Bill's player are you rooting for the most in twenty nineteen. 403 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: It's a simple question. I have a hard time with this, though, Chris. 404 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: As simple as this question is, I mean, we get 405 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: these players in here, we talked him on the show, 406 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: we see him around the building. You start to like 407 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: you start to like him, you start to work for 408 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: all of them to be successful. I'd do that with 409 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: coaches too. You want, and people ask me to your 410 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: root for the Bills. Yeah, I want the people that 411 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: I know and the people that I see in the 412 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: building that I work with. I want them to be successful, 413 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: to achieve what they want. So I have a hard 414 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: time with this, and I've thought about it since we 415 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: came up with a question the list. Just because you 416 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: pick a guy that you're rooting for, it doesn't mean 417 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: you're not rooting for other people. I have a hard 418 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: time with isolating one though, but I have Well, what 419 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: if I let you pick one on offense and defense? No? 420 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: Would that making any by the rules? Chris, played by 421 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: the rule. I got Levi Wallace as my guy, and 422 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. Undrafted, right, So the underdog thing 423 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: is there. Started the last half of last season and 424 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: did a pretty good job. Got great grades from the 425 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: folks of Pro Football Focus, which surprised me and I 426 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: think surprised many people. And he's just seems like a 427 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: great kid. I don't know intimately, I'm not friends. Seems 428 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: like a great kid, and a couple of encounters we've had, 429 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: he's challenged this year. We talked about that the other day. 430 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: He is challenged by Kevin Johnson and E. J. Gaines 431 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: and some of the other signings they made. But I'm 432 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna find myself rooting for Levi Wallace a lot this 433 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: year because of all those reasons. How about you, which 434 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: Bill's player would you root for? Yeah? I mean I 435 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: was kind of looking on offense and on defense to 436 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: try to find, you know, somebody that was compelling for me. 437 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: It's funny because I always find myself rooting for Shack. 438 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: I don't know why Jack Lass. Maybe it's yeah, maybe 439 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: it's because he's like a fun, loving kind of guy 440 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: in the locker room. And to see him shift his 441 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: focus last year and become a determined player in say 442 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna buckle down, I'm gonna buy into 443 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: this daily process here and I'm gonna make myself a 444 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: better player, and I'm gonna stay healthy and stay on 445 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: the field. And then to see the year that he 446 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: put together last year, which was certainly a step up 447 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: from his first two years, batting down passes, setting the 448 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: edge against the run, you know, making plays in the backfield. 449 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: I know the sack total hasn't gotten there yet, but 450 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: I thought that he took a great step forward last 451 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: year and he convinced this coaching staff that he's a 452 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: player worthy of playing time. Granted that was aided by 453 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: the injury battles that Trent Murphy was waging last year 454 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: in his first year in Buffalo, but when he was 455 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 1: on the field, he produced. And you know what an 456 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: energetic presence he is in that defensive end room, defensive 457 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,239 Speaker 1: line room. Guy's feed off that energy, and I think 458 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: coach McDermott has spoken about that and recognize easy that 459 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: other players get juice from Shack just by being you know, 460 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: he's a yapper out there on the field, not in 461 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: an addictive way, but he's out there talking, he's competing, 462 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: and he's an energetic player and I think guys feed 463 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: off of that. So I kind of root for bigger 464 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: and better things for him. And you know, if he 465 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: has a big season, it could wind up compromising his 466 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: future here because he might be in line for a 467 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: big contract and free agency and he might leave because 468 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: of that. But I kind of root for him to 469 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: have a big sack year here and you know, get 470 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: a nice second contract. You know, with what he went 471 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: through his first year or two, with all the injuries 472 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: that he had to deal with, I give it. I 473 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: thought about Shack for a while. I see many of 474 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: the things you talk about, and I would root for 475 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: him as well. And you know, he's a bit if 476 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: it's possible, he's a bit of a first round underdog, right, 477 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: I mean a guy who yeah, if there is one, yea, 478 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: if there is such a thing. Many people wrote him 479 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: off last year. Well he won't be around. They're getting 480 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: rid of all the old regime players. And Jack got 481 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: off to a slow start, was injured in his rookie year. 482 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: He won't lasted. He lasted and contributed last year. It 483 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: wasn't great, but he contributed, and I'd look for more 484 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: this year. The conversation we had with Shaq Lawson about 485 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: a month ago on the show was very impressive. If 486 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: you missed it, it's still up on our web site 487 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: of Buffalo Bills dot com. Just his approach, his maturity, 488 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: Watching that guy grow up has been great. I think 489 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: watching him mature over the last couple of years here 490 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: has been great for me and makes me want to 491 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: root for him to do well. And when you see 492 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: a guy that maybe didn't get it right at first, 493 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: but then makes good on that and does get the 494 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, does figure out what it means to be 495 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: a pro and then performs on the field, that's an 496 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: easy guy for me to root for me too. What 497 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: do you think? Who are you're rooting for for the 498 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: Bills this year? Which player are you rooting for the most? 499 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: You're probably rooting for a lot of them, But who 500 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: are you're rooting for the most? Tweet on the tweet 501 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: sheet from Brian Klein with an interesting name Trent Murphy. 502 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: He says excited to see what he can do now 503 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: that he's finally a whole offseason. That's a good one, 504 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: Brian Klein. I'd see where you're coming from. I find 505 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 1: myself hoping that he can be a bigger contributor than 506 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: he was and a healthier contributor than he was last year. 507 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: But I think that's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah, 508 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: And I don't think Bills fans have seen, by any stretch, 509 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: the best Trent Murphy out on the field at all. 510 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: I mean, that guy was playing hurt much of the 511 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: year last year, came in in trying to recover from 512 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: an injury and still wasn't right. And I think he's 513 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: one of those guys coming off a major knee injury 514 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: that wasn't quite right the first year back and needed 515 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: a year, And now in his second year back, I 516 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: think he will be more of what the Bills anticipated 517 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: he would be when they signed him. And he's just 518 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: a heady player too. I mean, you can go back 519 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: to that Minnesota game. He has a big play forces 520 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: the first fumble in that game deep in Minnesota territory 521 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: leads to a touchdown. He was a guy that still 522 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: flashed at times, but he was injured and nicked up 523 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: so much last year. It was it was I don't 524 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: want to say he was a forgotten man, but it 525 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: was hard to remember. Oh yeah, we've got that guy too, 526 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: you know. And so hopefully all that stuff is behind 527 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: him and he can put together the kind of season 528 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: that I think the Bills thought he could, you know, 529 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: put together for them. From a pass rushing perspective, you know, 530 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: from a Runde perspective, from a leadership perspective, Which Bills 531 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: player are you rooting for the most this upcoming season? 532 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: Give us a call to discuss eight O three fifty 533 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,239 Speaker 1: or from outside Buffalo toll free at one eight eight 534 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty sending a tweet to 535 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: One Bills Live.

And I know you have some kind 553 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: of connection with Jim Rome. You're probably not crazy about 554 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: being on the show that knocked him off the air 555 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, right How great is that right now on 556 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: the show where the show no longer exists. Here's the 557 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: truth about this guy's Calliando has never even talk to me. 558 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: Dude is not allowed. I would have been looking him 559 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: in the eyes. By the way, my eyes would be 560 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: looking at his forehead. I'm probably two inches taller. How 561 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: great is that? Me taller than tiny Frank Caliendo, A 562 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: little person, a tiny man, a dude not good enough 563 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: to be on the show with me right now, which 564 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: the show is not good enough beyond the air where 565 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: you are, how gree's that? It's great for us? Incredible 566 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: phenomenal rugelow a great lettuce that's having to take right there? Hey, Frank, 567 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: we're just about two weeks removed from the NFL draft. 568 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: Did you get your fellow of Adam Schefter during the 569 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: NFL draft? Is that a question you could ask me? 570 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: And you hear everything I had to say, even when 571 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: there isn't something to talk about, I'll find somebody with 572 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: the cold that could influence their stock in the draft. 573 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: And what's going to happen when we find out that 574 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: this person sleeps on average eleven hours, that's a problem. 575 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: They're not gonna make it in the NFL. Or we 576 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: can go with Jay Glazier. I know, idea what you're 577 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: gonna be talking about this, that's something we're doing. We're 578 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: talking about this. It's hard, you know. The difficult thing 579 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: about the difficult thing about being on the ends. You 580 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: don't get to swear. And I lot of those guys 581 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: who people lead behind the scenes. I was saying a 582 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: lot of different things that you wouldn't believe that somebody 583 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: was saying. But Schefter, I don't know if he's ever 584 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: say anything the bad word in his life. I live. 585 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: It's like a comma for me. One of those bad words, Frank, 586 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: I think I heard one time in an interview that 587 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: you did. You said that schefter is a head cold 588 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: removed from Ian Rappaport is how do you, yeah, how 589 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: do you differentiate these things because it seems like they 590 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: are very nuanced to go from one to another. Have 591 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: you ever experienced a time where you slip from one 592 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: guy inadvertently into another guy while you're doing I definitely 593 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: when you work on them at the beginning, any impression 594 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: I've worked on, I find that they sometimes if they're 595 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: too close, they'll merge together at the beginning. So like, 596 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: for years, people knew me from the John Madden stuff, 597 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: and when you talk like this, you say the things 598 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: that you say. But then I realized, Bill Walton isn't 599 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: that far. I remember being at Berkeley blotched in my face. 600 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: How great is that? It's or you know, George W. 601 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: Bush to Tera Bradshaw, DRIs Rot. It's just the amount 602 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: of power you try to put through while you're speaking. 603 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's an interesting thing. They can slip 604 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: and be fairly close. Ron Jaworski, I watch one hundred 605 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: and ninety two hours of videotape, is almost the comedian 606 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: Lewis Black. It's really odd how close people are and 607 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: it's just cadence is what can make it, not even 608 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: so much the pitch or the the the note. I 609 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: guess of the person um. How many people have you 610 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: heard do Christopher walking? That could be low, could be high, 611 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: but you know who it is because they ignore punctuation. 612 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: So it's it's an interesting thing when you hear this, 613 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: like and when I get into it King sometimes I 614 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: talk like mel kyper JD. You're talking about a guy 615 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: who's not a tremendous amount in the way the NFL 616 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: draft started. You know, I had the NFL draft of 617 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: the way it started for me. I was in my 618 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: basement eating pumpkin pie, getting ready for what was about 619 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: to become one of the biggest things, bigger than you know. 620 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: They don't they don't tell you this, but the NFL 621 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: Draft is actually bigger than the Super Bowl. A lot 622 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: of people. I know that. And I don't know if 623 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: you heard, Frank, but there's talk of another Shawshank Redemption 624 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: type film. I know, Uh. Morgan Freeman is a good 625 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: friend of yours. I think even you truly found a 626 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 1: way to work the Morgan off the air. We are 627 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how that could naturally play its 628 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: way in and I'm not sure that was natural, but 629 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: it was a segue. We tried sports to be Why 630 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: go ahead, I had nothing to say, Sonny, Frank Caliendo, 631 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: comedian impressionist down the line with us. Frank, why do 632 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: you think so much of your repertoire is coaches NFL 633 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: coaches in particular. I mean you even do with Bill Belichick? 634 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and Belichick is almost nothing. It's just one 635 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: of those kinds of thanks. You're just mumble until you hopefully, 636 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: hopefully somebody will understand what you're saying. Gruden's big though, man. 637 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you here's the thing is with it. 638 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: It's it's a lot of analysts. And the reason that 639 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of sports analysts because what 640 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: do you hear sports analysts doing analyzing? Of course that's 641 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: in the word analysts, but they're breaking things down in 642 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: a sport. So the natural um evolution I guess that 643 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: to comedy for me is breaking down things in everyday life. 644 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: So you're used to hear them talk about the sport, 645 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: to hear them talk about things we all have commonalities with, 646 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: that becomes the fun and then everybody can relate to 647 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: it even if it's Charles Barkley. You talk about a 648 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: guy who says of a lot of crazy things, and 649 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: that's what Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant out, No, they can't 650 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: win another game ever, you know. So it's that they're 651 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: always saying that. At a lot of times it's outspoken 652 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: people in those situations. So it makes for um, I 653 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: don't want to say easy target, but something that really 654 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: it's the gift that keeps on giving. Yeah, have you 655 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: ever met Belichick? I'm curious what he thought of you. 656 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: I have not. I've done stuff for the Patriots at 657 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: the super Bowl at once. I think maybe a couple 658 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: of times, but I don't know. I know the other 659 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: time I was doing an event for a corporate event 660 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: and Grunt came in and I'd never say anything like this. 661 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: He just bobs his way in. He just looks like 662 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: he's right out of a sitcom. He just he sees 663 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: food on the table, starts eating it, doesn't ask anybody 664 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: if the foods for him. He's I was like, we 665 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: just start shoveling M and m's and nuts into his mouth. 666 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, pretty good, this is good. Burden typods 667 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: So Uh yeah, I mean I haven't. I haven't heard 668 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: from Belichick, but what I understand is behind the scenes, 669 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: he's actually got a pretty good sense of humor and 670 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: life imitating are years ago I did a sketch that 671 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: was a thirty for thirty parody and it had Belichick 672 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: with a tiny little dog that I called mister Brady. 673 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: And now I think last year at the Super Bowl 674 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: they had that footage of or at least pictures of 675 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick with a little a tiny little lap dog, 676 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know if if I 677 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: if I got that right, or if he's just copying me. Now, Now, 678 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: did you see the thirty for thirty the two Bills? 679 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: Because it was Belichick and Parcels. I mean, how would 680 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: you do that going back and forth between those two? Uh? 681 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: Say that again? Something clicked it on my phone. Thirty 682 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: the ESPN thirty for thirty the two Bills. It was 683 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: Belichick and Parcels and they're sitting there together. I mean, 684 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,239 Speaker 1: would you be able to pull that off? I mean, 685 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: just doing the back and turn between those I'm trying 686 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: to think if I can't. I haven't used my Bill 687 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: Parcels for a while. That's another one that I worked 688 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: on for a while. Just okay, is this big word 689 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: halfway through a sentence? Okay, okay, yeah he does that, Okay, okay, okay, okay, Yeah. 690 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: I can't do it right now. Some of them if 691 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: I don't practice them. It's like sports where I don't 692 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: have the muscle memory and I could get it. Probably 693 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: take me if you guys would have given me a 694 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 1: shot sheet ahead of time. That's some jargon inside the industry. Yeah, 695 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: I might have. I probably would. It probably would have 696 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: taken me a day to even remember it, because it's 697 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: not one that I pull out that much in Belichick. 698 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: Like I said, it's just mumbling and people getting and 699 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something and mumble and coherently until somebody 700 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: decides that I've said something brilliant. So it's like you're 701 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: asking me off the area, asking me about Rex Ryan, 702 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: and then I have to work on things to get 703 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: into it. Like with Rex Ryan, I have to do 704 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: the hard docks. You guys know me. I'm about you 705 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. I have to say that 706 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: over and over and you guys know me, and then 707 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: eventually I'm something that I could do. But it's when 708 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,919 Speaker 1: without the makeup and all the stuff. Sometimes they don't 709 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: sell the same way as you know, the bigger, the 710 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: huge energy personalities, you know, the Grudens and and people 711 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: like that, the tremendous personalities and sports and tell you 712 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: what those are the guys, man, those guys that make 713 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: me enjoy myself. Now you so with the draft, you know, 714 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: I know you were messing around with your good buddy 715 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: Steve Kime with the Cardinals the GM there, So you 716 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 1: were actually texting him the day of the draft to 717 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: try to mess with him and try to set up 718 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: a trade and pose yourself hidden with an audio message 719 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: or something. It's funny because it got blown out of 720 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: proportion where people are writing that I was messing with 721 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: the draft from the beginning. He know it was me. 722 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: It was coming from my phone, right, So it was 723 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: just audio messages me calling up as like growing going 724 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: up there. You what, man, I've been listening to some 725 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: local radio here in the Bay area, and I got 726 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: some ideas for some trades I think you're gonna love. 727 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: So how about at number one and you draft Quinn 728 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: and Williams because I want Quinn and Williams and Quinnon 729 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: and Williams not gonna make it the number four. And 730 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: then I draft a number four Kyler Murray. Then I 731 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: trade number four for number one. He's still the number 732 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: one that you wanted. And then I give you a 733 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: number twenty seven. I think this is a pick, This 734 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: is a trade. Both of us are gonna love man. 735 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: Great deal for both of us. Frank Is Gruden easier 736 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: to do as a coach than he was as a broadcaster. 737 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: Give me another year. They were down a lot this year, 738 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: so it was a lot of that. When they're in 739 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: a it's a little bit easier when things even ups 740 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: and downs, because when when one of your friends is 741 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: down quite a bit, it's difficult. I went and talk 742 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: to the team. Actually they got to win when I 743 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: went and talked to him. And then every week it 744 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: was like grew, it grows, like, hey man, you want 745 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: to call us this week, you want to do some stuff. 746 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't come in every week. No, man, 747 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: I'll pay. I'll give you five bucks, mat me give 748 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: you some booters. Now here's the thing. You talk about 749 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: guys that have energy and they're easier to to mimic. 750 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: What about guys that have a speech impediment. I mean, 751 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: does that make it more easily identifiable? Perfect example, because 752 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: I just heard him given a commencement speech a week 753 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: or so ago. Lou Holtz, I mean that guy's got 754 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: a clear lisp. Does that make it easier for you 755 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: to do him? I guess you could say that I'm 756 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: not here exactly. Well, they did try not to do 757 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: a lot the difficulty faithful. I see the thing with 758 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: Lou Holtz. He actually does jokes, and he'll say stuff like, 759 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: can you believe the guy who's got Zack May is 760 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 1: the boaba? Those fake? So when people say that cast that, 761 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty careful with it. When people do have 762 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: things that are noticeable. If somebody does have Elizabeth, I'm 763 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: careful not to make that the big part of what 764 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: the thing is to. You know, I guess you're making 765 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: fun of but I'm making fun of everybody. But to 766 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: play with and and and have fun with it's my 767 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: Stuff's all in good fun. But again, that is a 768 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,439 Speaker 1: difficult thing where you have to be careful. So hey, Frank, 769 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 1: there has been a good sampling of what the show 770 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: might be like next Friday in Niagara Falls. What else 771 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: would people look for? When they come to see you 772 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: next week. A whole lot of dancing. I do a 773 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: little bit of I end the show with some origami. 774 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah. I create a beautiful flower garden. 775 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: Takes me twenty five minutes, and at the end I 776 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: have grew tip throw through the tulips man. It's tremendous. Yeah. 777 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: It's a very clean show, no swearing and not even 778 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: really much innuendo. It's it's basically PG or lighter than that. 779 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: And the guy that I bring the open for me, 780 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,439 Speaker 1: he's very clean as well. And it's just a bunch 781 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: of it. And the people think it's all about sports. 782 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: There's plenty of sports characters and impressions, but the thing is, 783 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: it's not all about sports. I run the gamut with 784 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: all kinds of an all audience is pretty much enjoy it. 785 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: Because Chris Berman is a big Bills is a big 786 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, he's popular among Bills fans. Nobody circles the 787 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: wagons gay like the buffalo, and nobody does the same 788 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: saying like Frank, thanks for this, have a great show. 789 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: We appreciate your time today.

Although he's 797 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: got probably two dozen people you can rattle off that 798 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: he can just do, yeah, you know, at the at 799 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: the drop of a hat, that he has to the 800 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: fact that he has to actually practice some of those 801 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: is a little refreshing because I agree, I you know, 802 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: it seems like he can do anybody. But to know 803 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: that he actually has to work at it with some 804 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: of those guys. I just don't know how he does. 805 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: People like Lou Holtz, like you've got to develop your 806 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 1: own speech impediment to do it. I don't know how 807 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,439 Speaker 1: he does that. I really don't.

I hope you caught it with 819 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: Frank Keliando, comedian, impressionist, and most of us here in 820 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: the studio in the control room spent the last five 821 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: minutes recapping some of our highlights. You know, he did 822 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: just just little snippets. You know. It was like rapid fire. Yeah, unbelievable. 823 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: And the thing is, when he gets up now a 824 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: week from Friday at Seneca Niagara Casino, he'll do his 825 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: show probably be what at least forty five minutes or 826 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: an hour long. He's got not just do these impressions. 827 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: He's got to develop mannerisms. Yeah, but he's got to 828 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: developed games. Yeah, stories, I mean, that's it's it's the 829 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: essence of comedy right along with the impressions. It's really good. 830 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: He's really good at it. Probably the best sports impressionists 831 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,399 Speaker 1: of all time. I would think, yeah, And you would 832 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,800 Speaker 1: think that it would be hard to manufacture broad appeal 833 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: for that because a lot of those impressions are pretty 834 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: niche based. I mean, you know, you go to some 835 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: you know, you can go somewhere in the country where 836 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: maybe the NFL is not gigantic. I mean they might 837 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 1: not know who Adam Schefter is, you know, or they 838 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: might not know who you know what I mean, like 839 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: where in the country doing well. I don't know, but 840 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, yeah, I think the NFL 841 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: he's he's good to stick with that. Um, it's really impressive. 842 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: I really like him on the show. We had him 843 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: on four or five years ago, and he was he 844 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: was really good then to it. It made a difference 845 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: if you were watching an MSG to have the video 846 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,240 Speaker 1: and to see his face, especially when he gets to Gruden, 847 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: I think he well, this facial manner is borrowed eyebrow. Yeah, 848 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,439 Speaker 1: with Grudener or what sells that puts it over the top. Really, 849 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: he's got that delivery down though. Yeah, I mean that 850 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: might be. I mean, if you had to rank some 851 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: of his best impressions, Gruden's probably one or two, right, Yeah, 852 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: I mean he's just he's got the eyebrows down, he's 853 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,800 Speaker 1: got the pauses and you know, yeah, the little idiosyncrasies 854 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: of his delivery. Do you ever talk to Gruden face 855 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: to face? Yeah, he doesn't act like that all the time, 856 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: you know. I talked to him once he was fired 857 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: up about something. Well looked like, I think he's got it. 858 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: I talked him here once he did a season opening 859 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,439 Speaker 1: event they had for Bill's sponsors. He was the guest 860 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 1: speaker and interviewed him here he was, he was just 861 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: like that. And then I talked to him when the 862 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: Bills played at Seattle Monday Night Football a couple of 863 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,280 Speaker 1: years ago. He did the game right with Sean mcdonnough 864 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: and their booths right next to ours, and you know, 865 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: you're sitting around there, eight thirty kickoff, you have two 866 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: hours to kill him. I went over there and talked 867 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: him for fifteen minutes. He's a lot like that, you know, 868 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: and he's like, you got it, Lick, don't you. You're 869 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: doing the Bills on the radio. You need do any 870 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: work right there and in five minutes away. You know 871 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: he he's always looking for you know, he kind of 872 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 1: bores right India. And he's a needler. Yes, Yeah, he's 873 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: a good ler for sure. Yes. And Callender's got him down. Hey. 874 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: Our question of the day, Which Bills player are you 875 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 1: rooting for the most in twenty nineteen? Simple question, simple 876 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: fan question. I don't know who you think you're rooting for. 877 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: You obviously your fans have probably many Bills players, But 878 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: which one you really need and want to see succeed 879 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: this year? On the line? Mark and Jersey City go hellttle, Mark, 880 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: go ahead. You're on the ear Allotle, Mark and Jersey City? 881 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: Are you there? Mark? Go ahead? How you doing? John? 882 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 1: How you doing? Chris Chriss? Are you okay? That game 883 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: had you a little p Yeah, I'm all right. I 884 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 1: needed a nap after the game. I was exhausted. I 885 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: didn't even play. I was exhausted. It was just so 886 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: many it was a roller coaster. I was a mess 887 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: after that. I needed to lay down for Actually, I 888 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: was actually at the gym wanting on a trudill, watching 889 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: it on my phone, and I was just like like 890 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: twenty minutes past in the last six minutes, and I 891 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,399 Speaker 1: didn't even deal with saying that's how I was. Yeah, 892 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: I had I had him dead and buried. I didn't 893 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 1: think they were going to be able to pull it 894 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: off with all their injuries, So it was great. Yeah, 895 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: Now I was glad you touched on the leagues earlier, 896 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: with like them playing IAX, who's a selling team. Their 897 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: best players will be playing on Big four clubs and 898 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: other leagues probably next year or in a two year. 899 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: So it was crazy that they were such an underdog 900 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: than the way Tottenham came back. They became the underdog 901 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: with their injuries and their fatigue, but it was it 902 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: was an amazing gim amazing. It's easily for me with 903 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: the Bills, which it's Josh Allen, jarsh How could you 904 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: not hold the route for Josh Allen in the second year. 905 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: Just he's the He's the lynchpin of it all. Everything 906 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 1: this offseason has been geared towards him. I was encouraged 907 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: when he came back after injury, how he worked with 908 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: receivers that he had really no time with and they 909 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: seem to click right away, particularly Robert Foster, and he's 910 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,800 Speaker 1: I just think that that's a positive sign to his 911 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that can do that with receivers. They tend to 912 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: just make receivers better and I think he has that 913 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: in him. And plus there's still people entrenched in their 914 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: pre draft analysis of him and how it's not going 915 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: to be good and they're just going to die on 916 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 1: that hill. Yeah, and he's not alone because I actually 917 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: got a tweet from another fan that said, you know, 918 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is my choice for today. Hope all the 919 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: negative discussion goes away. He is a star, And you know, 920 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 1: it makes sense because I think a lot of fans 921 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 1: also realize Murph, that if they're rooting for this guy 922 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: and he comes through, then it's onward and upward for 923 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: this franchise because a lot of where this team is 924 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: going is obviously hinging on your quarterback. That would be 925 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: the case for any team in this league. So it's 926 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 1: only natural to root for the guy who, arguably, on 927 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 1: an individual by individual basis, could impact the fortunes of 928 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 1: the season more than anybody else. It is the first 929 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: one many people go to. I guess and we'll take 930 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,800 Speaker 1: all your calls and reading many of the tweets, you 931 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,839 Speaker 1: can root for whoever you want. I'm just looking at 932 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: who do you think, who do you have a special 933 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: attachment to, and not necessarily who has the future of 934 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,399 Speaker 1: the franchise in their hands, but who do you find 935 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: yourself liking and wanting to do well and succeeding. That's 936 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 1: kind of what we're asking, but we can interpret in 937 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: any way you want. We'll get back to that question. 938 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: Who are you rooting for the most for the Bills 939 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. We're gonna talk when we return, though, 940 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 1: with Sean O'Hara from NFL Network. He will join us 941 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 1: to discuss a variety of NFL topics. Come on back 942 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: for that One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive on 943 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio, Bills Radio Network Sports.

They move on for a 983 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,359 Speaker 1: three game series at Norfolk this weekend. The Bison's back 984 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: home again next Tuesday.

Chris is in for Steve Tasker. 986 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: How many times I've almost said Steve Tasker A lot? 987 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 1: A lot? Can you tell? There was one? Yes? Yesterday 988 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 1: at the day before. Yeah, he said, John Murphy, Steve 989 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 1: Tasker here with you, and oh sorry, that's all right, 990 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen well next week called motor Memory.

He played 993 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,719 Speaker 1: eleven seasons in the league on the offensive line, won 994 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Now he's in NFL network analysts. We 995 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 1: haven't met him on since the Super Bowl, but we're 996 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: happy to have Ohara on the line with us again. Hi, Sean, 997 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: John Murphy, and Chris Brown up here in Buffalo. Thanks 998 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,359 Speaker 1: for joining us. Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. Thanks for having 999 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,320 Speaker 1: me on. I gotta commend you and your colleagues in 1000 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 1: NFL Network. I told this to somebody last week. I 1001 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 1: watched most of the draft on NFL Network really for 1002 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: the first time ever this year. I thought the coverage 1003 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,839 Speaker 1: was superior, and I thought it was outstanding. You guys 1004 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 1: did a great job of the draft. Well, thank you. 1005 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Welcome to the party, and better late 1006 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 1: than never, it did seem like a party. As a 1007 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 1: matter of fact, in the draft, it turns out that 1008 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 1: you really liked what the Bills did with Cody Ford, 1009 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman they drafted in from Oklahoma on Day 1010 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 1: two on Friday. In fact, you've named that the best 1011 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: Day two pick of the draft. Can you talk about 1012 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,320 Speaker 1: that a little bit sharp? Yeah, Well, part of our coverage, 1013 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 1: you know, after the draft is, you know, we got 1014 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,239 Speaker 1: a grade everybody. We come up with all these cute 1015 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 1: little coin phrases, best steal, best deal, best value, all 1016 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: that stuff. Yeah, so in looking at best choice, you know, 1017 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: obviously I got out of the first round and just 1018 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: kind of looked at, you know, who got some really 1019 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 1: quality players in the second or third round, and you know, 1020 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,760 Speaker 1: talking to a lot of people and just watching Cody forard, 1021 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: there was a lot of banter about him possibly going 1022 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 1: in the first round. So I think, you know, for 1023 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo to get at Oliver where they did in the 1024 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 1: first round and then to get Cody Forward in the 1025 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: second round, I just thought was a great from a 1026 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:26,320 Speaker 1: value perspective, but also just it really aligns with what 1027 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,800 Speaker 1: Brandon being and with what Sean McDermott are trying to 1028 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: build on that offense. They are putting together a totally 1029 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: different culture there upfront, and I think Cody Ford is 1030 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: going to fit right into that. I think he's gonna 1031 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 1: bring some of it even as a rookie, and that's finish. 1032 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 1: I think. I said on the show that I love 1033 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 1: the way he just loves the dirt bag people. You know. 1034 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 1: I think as an offensive line, you've got to have 1035 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 1: a couple of dirt bags in your group. You've got 1036 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:53,600 Speaker 1: to have a couple of guys that just want to 1037 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 1: finish people. And that nastiness is what pays off and 1038 00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: and what helps you close games out, especially if you're 1039 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 1: gonna play in a place like Buffalo. Guess what, November 1040 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: and December, there's gonna be days where you can't throw 1041 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 1: the ball and you're gonna have to pound the rock. 1042 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,240 Speaker 1: So I love that, you know, a guy like Cody 1043 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 1: Ford was available there at the second round and they 1044 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,239 Speaker 1: were able to pick him up. I think he's a guy. 1045 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 1: I think he could play tackle, you know, I know, 1046 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are curious about whether 1047 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 1: or not he's got the footwork for it and the athleticism. 1048 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 1: But even if they start him out a guard as 1049 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 1: a rookie, I think that that offensive line is going 1050 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 1: to be completely different. You look around at what they've 1051 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 1: added this offseason, Mitch Morris. Through free agency, they brought 1052 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 1: in Tyniseki, you know, Leage and Waddles there, they brought 1053 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: in Quentin Spain. So I think that day've upgraded that 1054 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,720 Speaker 1: entire group. And I love the demeanor that Cody Ford's 1055 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,440 Speaker 1: going to bring to that group. And I know, you know, 1056 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 1: talking about Cody Ford, Brandon Bean's already gone on record 1057 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:51,800 Speaker 1: saying they are going to start him at right tackle, 1058 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 1: like begin that'll be his beginning position. I'm not saying 1059 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna win the starting job right away because it's 1060 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: just not how they operate around ye, but he only 1061 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,880 Speaker 1: has one year on the job at tackle. He had 1062 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 1: been primarily at guard earlier in his college career. Knowing 1063 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:11,319 Speaker 1: you have a trained eye as to what constitutes quality play, 1064 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:16,240 Speaker 1: maybe quality feet on the edge. What is it about 1065 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 1: his game that you know he's going to be okay 1066 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 1: out there? You know, whether it's getting to the second 1067 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: level in his landmarks or what is it about his 1068 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,080 Speaker 1: feed is game that convinces you, knowing you have a 1069 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,319 Speaker 1: trained eye for what an NFL tackle looks like. Yeah, 1070 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 1: when you first watch Cody Ford on film, I mean, 1071 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 1: to me, the thing that jumps out of you is 1072 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,880 Speaker 1: that he's finishing guys. You know, he's not just a 1073 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,359 Speaker 1: position blocker. He's not boxing people out in the pain 1074 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,920 Speaker 1: trying to get a rebound. I mean he's physically moving guys, 1075 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,320 Speaker 1: and a lot of guy's feet stop on contact, and 1076 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 1: when he engages with somebody, he accelerates his feet fairly well. 1077 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: I think the one thing that you look at with him, 1078 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 1: and he's got a very thick lower body. You know, 1079 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,600 Speaker 1: the last time I saw a guy come out with 1080 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 1: this similar lower body was Andrews Pete coming out of Stanford. 1081 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: He's playing for the Saints. You know, I think they 1082 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,839 Speaker 1: originally tried him a tackle on how he's playing left guard. 1083 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: But I think Cody has better feet than Andrews Pete. 1084 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 1: And I think you know, the question really with any 1085 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 1: guy who played tackle in college. Look, I played left 1086 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,279 Speaker 1: tackle in college. You moved to the NFL. It's a 1087 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 1: different game. Space is totally different. Those athletes are totally different. 1088 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,359 Speaker 1: So I think it's good that they're starting him out 1089 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,400 Speaker 1: of tackle and let him get accustomed to it. But 1090 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: I felt like watching him on film, he did a 1091 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 1: good job with his hands. He wasn't a grabber and 1092 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 1: a leaner. I think if you're gonna play tackle, you've 1093 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:37,319 Speaker 1: got to have a punch. You've got to be able 1094 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 1: to throw the hands without getting your face involved in 1095 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 1: the block. And I think that's something he can do. 1096 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 1: We're with the Shaoha NFL Network analyst on the offensive 1097 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: line for the Bill Sean As Chris said, you're well 1098 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 1: qualified to analyze what's going on up there. By my 1099 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 1: last count, they have fourteen offensive line in seven of 1100 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,640 Speaker 1: them half of them right now are either rookies, first 1101 00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 1: year players, or free agent additions. How much does cohesion 1102 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 1: getting all that group together get in the starting five together? 1103 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 1: How much will that be a factor, do you think? 1104 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 1: And can it start as soon as now the springtime workouts? Yeah? Absolutely, 1105 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean I think you know, I remember when I 1106 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 1: came to the Giants as a free agent from the 1107 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:16,400 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns in two thousand and four, we started working 1108 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,880 Speaker 1: out and doing all line drills like March tenth, you know, 1109 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, that's how that's how invested we 1110 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,759 Speaker 1: were as players. You know, sure we complained about it 1111 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 1: a little bit, but the office and program hadn't even 1112 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: started yet and we were already lifting. We were doing 1113 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 1: drills together. It's that kind of culture that you have 1114 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: to start early with. So I think as offensive linement, 1115 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,920 Speaker 1: we're a different breed and we call ourselves the mushroom society, 1116 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: and offensive line coaches around the league all, you know, 1117 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 1: they take a lot of pride in that, but you know, 1118 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 1: we're kind of different. People just kind of put it 1119 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,319 Speaker 1: like mushrooms. They kind of put us over in the corner. 1120 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,120 Speaker 1: You know, they don't give us a lot of sunlight. 1121 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: They just kind of leave us alone and we kind 1122 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 1: of grow on our own. But I think that's where 1123 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,319 Speaker 1: that chemistry is built. It's built in the way room 1124 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 1: during the off season, pushing each other, you know, fighting 1125 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,400 Speaker 1: for that last rep and finding a way to you know, 1126 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 1: to get through some of these workouts together and build 1127 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 1: that chemistry. And then, you know, really just from a 1128 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,839 Speaker 1: knowledge standpoint, other than the quarterback, there isn't any other 1129 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,800 Speaker 1: position that plays every single snap and has to know 1130 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 1: what everybody else is doing. So from an offensive land standpoint, 1131 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:24,840 Speaker 1: you've got to know everything. You've got to know the 1132 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 1: run game, in the pass game, You've got to understand 1133 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,560 Speaker 1: what the quarterback seeing, so when he declares the mic, 1134 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,440 Speaker 1: you understand exactly why he's calling that linebacker the declaration, 1135 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 1: whether it's a pass or a run. So all of 1136 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,520 Speaker 1: those things factor into confidence, and that's what you want 1137 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 1: to go into training camp with. I think you mentioned 1138 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,640 Speaker 1: getting this group to come together. I think Bobby Johnson, 1139 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,400 Speaker 1: the offensive line coach, is going to be a big 1140 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,240 Speaker 1: factor in that. I think his mindset and a culture 1141 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,319 Speaker 1: that he's going to try to breathe there is going 1142 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,359 Speaker 1: to pay dividends for them. You know. I know, Sean, 1143 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 1: you've already mentioned how you have to have some well 1144 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,480 Speaker 1: you call the dirt, bad guys or guys some edge 1145 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 1: to him, some nastiness, not afraid to bury people at 1146 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,279 Speaker 1: the end of a play, or pancake somebody. And it 1147 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 1: looks like they have some of those guys, you know, 1148 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: whether it's Span who likes to finish people, you know, 1149 00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 1: and Feliciano, who's been largely a backup in Oakland behind 1150 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,400 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl guards, may get an opportunity to compete for 1151 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 1: his starting job here. He's known as a finisher two 1152 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: with a little edge to his game. But one of 1153 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 1: the issues that this offensive line had last year was 1154 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:30,680 Speaker 1: a startling lack of mobility, to the point where offensive 1155 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,320 Speaker 1: coordinator Brian Dable could not even call a screenplay because 1156 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 1: they did not have two players mobile enough to get 1157 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 1: out and lead. Do you I don't know how intimately 1158 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 1: you know the skill sets of guys like Spencer Long 1159 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 1: or Mitch Morse or you know, Quentin Spain, But is 1160 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,799 Speaker 1: there Do you feel there's enough there where they can 1161 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 1: at least reopen parts of the playbook that maybe previously 1162 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 1: they could not. Yeah, well, I'll just start with, you know, 1163 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 1: the the whole screen stuff. You know, fensive coordinator is 1164 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 1: mostly concerned about how well my offensive linemen block in 1165 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 1: the screen game, and we got problems because I want to. 1166 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:08,959 Speaker 1: I wanted to be focused on how do they handle 1167 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,319 Speaker 1: first and second down and the line of scrimmage players first, 1168 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,200 Speaker 1: second level players. Look, we'll deal with them when we 1169 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 1: get there, but if we don't take care of the 1170 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 1: down guys first, then we've got issues. To your point, 1171 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,520 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills offensive line was tough to wash last year. 1172 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 1: They struggled a lot. I think a lot of that 1173 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 1: also had to do with the fact that they had 1174 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback and Josh Allen as athletic as he was. Boy, 1175 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 1: he's back there burping the baby. You know he's hugging 1176 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 1: onto that football a long time. So there were you know, 1177 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:41,040 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks have a tendency to make offensive lineman look bad. Now, 1178 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,440 Speaker 1: I'm not putting it all on Josh. They did not 1179 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 1: function well, as you said he with something as rudimentary 1180 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,520 Speaker 1: or elementary as a screen game, a ghost screen. But 1181 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 1: I watched Quentin Spain when he was in Tennessee. He 1182 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,440 Speaker 1: mauled people the line of scrimmage and I saw him 1183 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 1: get up on the linebackers and when he gets hands 1184 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,280 Speaker 1: on people, that's a rap. Mitch Morris is probably one 1185 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,360 Speaker 1: of the most athletic centers when he's healthy in the 1186 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 1: NFL on the second level, so he's a very athletic guy. 1187 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,919 Speaker 1: He's really good in the zone scheme. He can reach 1188 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 1: the nose um, and I think he's a kind of 1189 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that can get out in 1190 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 1: space and block not just on the second level linebackers 1191 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 1: in the box, but out on in the perimeter and 1192 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 1: the screen game. So, UM, I think those guys will 1193 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:24,520 Speaker 1: be um, you know, they'll they'll be in a nice 1194 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,640 Speaker 1: addition in the second level. Um, Cody Ford, I don't 1195 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 1: know if you want him running out turn on a 1196 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 1: lot of ghost screens. I don't know if that's what 1197 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 1: you're you're drafting him to do. Um. I think Dean 1198 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 1: Dawkins is pretty guard athletic, but UM, you know those guys. 1199 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 1: I think when you when you're bringing a guy like 1200 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 1: Frank Gore, I've always felt like Frank Gore is one 1201 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,440 Speaker 1: of the best power running backs. And when I say power, 1202 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about strength. I'm talking about thirty six 1203 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 1: thirty seven power. We've got a fullback, we've got a 1204 00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 1: tight end. We are running downhill, We're gonna pull our 1205 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: backside guard, and we're trying to play smash mouth power football. 1206 00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,120 Speaker 1: He's one of the best a gap front side, the backside, 1207 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 1: a gap power football running backs. He's one of the 1208 00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,160 Speaker 1: best I've seen in the league. I think with a 1209 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 1: guy like Frank Gore, those guys are gonna love getting 1210 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 1: downhill and running power football. Sean O. Harri from NFL 1211 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 1: Network our guest shown bigger picture AFC East type question here. 1212 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 1: The Bills made all those changes we've talked about. The 1213 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,959 Speaker 1: Jets made a lot of changes too, and some big editions, 1214 00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 1: leaving on Bell and mostly the linebacker what do you 1215 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 1: think the impact will be of the Jets additions, and 1216 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 1: which of these two bills are Jets would be maybe 1217 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 1: challengers to the Patriots supremacy here in this division. Yeah, 1218 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,400 Speaker 1: and the Game of Thrones and everybody's trying to, uh, 1219 00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, tackle Winterfell and get jumps now aka Tom Brady. 1220 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,200 Speaker 1: I think when you look at what the Jets have done, 1221 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,080 Speaker 1: you know, obviously offensively lading on Bell, I mean, he's 1222 00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 1: a gym and there's not a lot of running backs 1223 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 1: like him when he's healthy. I think the biggest question 1224 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 1: mark I really have with the Jets is can this 1225 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,240 Speaker 1: offensive line, you know, can they give buy him enough 1226 01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,000 Speaker 1: time to be that patient runner that he was in Pittsburgh. 1227 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,480 Speaker 1: You know, as much as Levy on Bell can talk 1228 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 1: about his contract and why he held out, and you 1229 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,320 Speaker 1: know this and that, you know, the bottom line is 1230 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,200 Speaker 1: be careful what you wish for. He wanted to go 1231 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,240 Speaker 1: somewhere else and get paid. Guess what, Now you're in 1232 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,320 Speaker 1: somebody else's yard. You're playing with a different old line. 1233 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 1: He's had one of the best old lines his entire career, 1234 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 1: so that's going to be a game changer. I think 1235 01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 1: when you look at at collechi Assemily. You know, it's 1236 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 1: kind of something that nobody's really talking about. For the Jets, 1237 01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 1: they got him in the trade with Oakland. You know, 1238 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 1: he could be their bell cow and he could be 1239 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,919 Speaker 1: a big factor in that resurgence of that offensive line. 1240 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,919 Speaker 1: But I think defensively, you know they're coming after people 1241 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 1: Leonard Williams, Quinnon Williams, you mentioned C. J. Mosley. That's 1242 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 1: gonna be a pretty aggressive front. I'm curious to see 1243 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 1: how they all adapt to Greg Williams. As we know 1244 01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,560 Speaker 1: Greg Williams, He's going to throw everything at you. The 1245 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 1: one thing I knew when we were playing in Greg 1246 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 1: Williams coach defense, when we came in on Wednesday and 1247 01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,600 Speaker 1: Thursday and we started installing the blitz, pagge and third 1248 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 1: down package, we knew we were going to see every front. 1249 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 1: We knew he was gonna draw up every kind of 1250 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 1: blitz you can imagine and just see if he can 1251 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 1: get a home run and get a free runner at 1252 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 1: your quarterback. So the Jets are gonna take some shots. 1253 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 1: I'll say this. He was in Cleveland last year as 1254 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator. They gave up more big plays in 1255 01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,960 Speaker 1: any defense in the NFL, so it's feast or famine 1256 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,680 Speaker 1: with them. I think that'll be interesting to see how 1257 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,280 Speaker 1: aggressive he is because they've got a young quarterback in 1258 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, just like the Bills, So you know, you 1259 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 1: got to be kind of careful with how you do that. 1260 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 1: You don't want to put a young buck behind the 1261 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 1: eight ball. But um, I think both Buffalo and the 1262 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Jet and the New York Jets are going to be 1263 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 1: two fun young teams. And you mentioned the age with 1264 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,360 Speaker 1: with with the Bill's roster and with specifically the old line, 1265 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,280 Speaker 1: but I think this Jets team got younger and got 1266 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 1: hungry and it's gonna be fun to watch them batt 1267 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,280 Speaker 1: all the Patriots. Sean, I just want to follow up 1268 01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 1: on one thing you meant you mentioned about, you know, 1269 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: the Bill's run game and with Frank Gore here, how 1270 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,200 Speaker 1: you expect maybe a little bit more power. I know 1271 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,280 Speaker 1: their second most popular formation under Dable last year was 1272 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 1: twelve personnel, and obviously with all the changes this year, 1273 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 1: maybe that shifts a little bit. But uh, and they 1274 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,800 Speaker 1: do have Pat de Marco here, who's a former Pro 1275 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 1: Bowl fullback. Um, but how do you see that power 1276 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,160 Speaker 1: football shaking out? You know, in terms of formation, knowing 1277 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 1: there was a proclivity to go to twelve personnel. Obviously 1278 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 1: eleven is the most popular one across the league right now, 1279 01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,920 Speaker 1: but twelve personnel there was a healthy jose of that 1280 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,479 Speaker 1: here last year. And they've added tight ends to this roster, 1281 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,200 Speaker 1: including a draft pick who's you know, an inline blocker 1282 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 1: in Tommy Sweeney. I'll be in the seventh round. Yeah. Well, 1283 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean obviously with with Frank Gore and you know, 1284 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 1: obviously Lashawan McCoy is gonna gonna be, you know, the starter, 1285 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 1: and he's gonna get most of the carries. But I 1286 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,480 Speaker 1: think it just really makes your offense that much more multiple, 1287 01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,760 Speaker 1: you know, not you can come out in eleven personnel 1288 01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 1: and you know, spread them out and let Lashaw McCoy, 1289 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, slash and and and cut and duke guys 1290 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 1: and make them all miss. But you know, guess what, 1291 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 1: when it's third and on or you know, when you've 1292 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,960 Speaker 1: got the lead and you're gonna run your formnte offense, 1293 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 1: it's a luxury to be able to bring in your 1294 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,560 Speaker 1: twelve personnel, bring in your two tight ends, bringing your 1295 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 1: heavy package and say, you know what, we're gonna play 1296 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 1: smash my football now. I mean, look at what the 1297 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,160 Speaker 1: Patriots every single year they do it in November. You know, 1298 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 1: everybody's you know, running these high flying offense, and all 1299 01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they come out with a game where 1300 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,959 Speaker 1: they run the ball thirty eight times, They've got twenty 1301 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 1: yards rushing and you and you know what, you couldn't 1302 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 1: stop them. So Brian Dable was in New England. He 1303 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,520 Speaker 1: understands it. So that's why he likes that ability. I 1304 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,920 Speaker 1: think it's a great tool to have as part of 1305 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,320 Speaker 1: an offense. I think it's you know, if you get 1306 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 1: a sloppy day, it's nice to be able to have that, 1307 01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 1: you know. And I think what it also does is 1308 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,240 Speaker 1: now when you start being effective with that, if you've 1309 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 1: got a couple of receivers that can flat out fly, 1310 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, the defense is starting to 1311 01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,800 Speaker 1: rotate that safety down because they're trying to stop the run. 1312 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:53,960 Speaker 1: And now you've got somebody that's going to run right 1313 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 1: by a safety in the middle field. You can get 1314 01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 1: big chunk plays. I had one more question for you, 1315 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,320 Speaker 1: and it's about your old team, the Giants, where now 1316 01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,520 Speaker 1: threat three weeks two and a half three weeks removed 1317 01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 1: from the draft, and it seems like the furor over 1318 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 1: the first round quarterbacks selection has died down a little bit. 1319 01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because he was in for the weekend rookie minicamp. 1320 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:13,720 Speaker 1: Do you see that sort of abating a little bit? 1321 01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:15,720 Speaker 1: Are people are gonna calm down and wait and see 1322 01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 1: what this guy has to offer? People are quarterback crazy 1323 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 1: in the media, you know. I mean, they'll talk about 1324 01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback even if he's bad. You know, they just 1325 01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:26,840 Speaker 1: that's just what they that's all they can watch. It's 1326 01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: like most fans just watch the quarterback. All they do 1327 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,560 Speaker 1: is watch the ball. So that's what they talk about, 1328 01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,280 Speaker 1: and it's you know, with fantasy football. But look, the 1329 01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 1: crazy part to me is the fact that for the 1330 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,479 Speaker 1: last couple of months, all we've talked about as Eli 1331 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 1: Manning and Daniel Jones, and nobody's saying anything about Saquon Barkley, 1332 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,360 Speaker 1: who could very well be the best player in the 1333 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 1: entire NFL when you look at what he did last 1334 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,640 Speaker 1: year as a rookie. So I think the Daniel Jones, 1335 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, the drama, if you will, the buzz, I 1336 01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:01,080 Speaker 1: think it will slowly start to to fizzle a little bit. 1337 01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,320 Speaker 1: But as soon as the season starts coming around and 1338 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 1: training came starts going around. If in the preseason game, 1339 01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 1: if he starts making a couple of throws, you know, 1340 01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,080 Speaker 1: people are gonna start buzzing again. I think the one 1341 01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 1: thing that you know, people keep forgetting his dad, Eli's 1342 01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 1: playing elis they're all in on Eli this year. They 1343 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,720 Speaker 1: want him to play well. They wanted to be a 1344 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 1: good season. I think Daniel Jones was a luxury pick 1345 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,960 Speaker 1: for him for them at six. I think they really 1346 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 1: liked the makeup of him, his mindset, his personality, and 1347 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,040 Speaker 1: he's a polished, finished quarterback. You don't have to work 1348 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 1: on his fundamentals. He's got great full work in the pocket. 1349 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 1: He's got great throwing mechanics. He's not a project that 1350 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,440 Speaker 1: you've got to kind of groom and teach him how 1351 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,040 Speaker 1: to throw the football and play the position. So I 1352 01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,680 Speaker 1: think he was a luxury pick for them. You know, 1353 01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,560 Speaker 1: I remind people, and I remind Giants fans all the time. Look, 1354 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 1: the Giants tracted Eric Flower's ninth overall, all right, the 1355 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,760 Speaker 1: guy help helped the franchise hostage for four years, and 1356 01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 1: he was awful as a left tackle. So the fact 1357 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:00,800 Speaker 1: that they took a quarterback, I get six. It's really 1358 01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 1: not that big of a reach. Sean, thanks for this again, 1359 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 1: great work on the draft. We hope to talk again sometime. 1360 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us today. All right, thanks guys. 1361 01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,440 Speaker 1: Sean O'Hara, levin year, NFL veteran, three time Pro Bowl performer, 1362 01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,840 Speaker 1: now an NFL Network canalyist. You can catch him there 1363 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:18,040 Speaker 1: on NFL Network. We thanked on Sean for joining us. Well, 1364 01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,120 Speaker 1: you get him talking about the offensive line. Man, he 1365 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: stays locked into there and he likes what. I was 1366 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,480 Speaker 1: fine to talk about that with him because I kind 1367 01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 1: of wanted to get an assessment, you know, an outside 1368 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 1: perspective as to what the Bills have assembled here. And 1369 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,919 Speaker 1: you know, I thought your question about the chemistry that's 1370 01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,919 Speaker 1: got to come together here, and you know, he talked 1371 01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 1: about doing that when he went to the Giants, when 1372 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,960 Speaker 1: he made the move from Cleveland to the Giants as 1373 01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 1: a free agent. But that was back in two thousand 1374 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,480 Speaker 1: and four. Yeah, you know, when you could line up 1375 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 1: and practice on March tenth on your line calls, you 1376 01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,920 Speaker 1: can't do that anymore. So there's there's an abbreviated amount 1377 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,600 Speaker 1: of time, and so it's that much harder to get 1378 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,720 Speaker 1: that chemistry down. And arguably you could have up to 1379 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,800 Speaker 1: four new starters on this offensive line from last year 1380 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 1: to this year. So it's gonna take some doing. Yeah, 1381 01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,920 Speaker 1: I agree. Hey, don't think too hard about our Twitter question. 1382 01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 1: Just respond. It's a simple one. Which Bills player are 1383 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,600 Speaker 1: you rooting for most in the upcoming season? Who you like? 1384 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,439 Speaker 1: I mean, for whatever reason you have not to who's 1385 01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,640 Speaker 1: the most important or not asking you who's the most 1386 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: critical player to have a good year, just what you're 1387 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,439 Speaker 1: rooting for? Righting the kool Aid's comment on the tweet sheet, 1388 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,400 Speaker 1: let's read it from the tweet sheets, Sipping the kool Aid? 1389 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,040 Speaker 1: Which Bills player you're rooting for the most in twenty nineteen? 1390 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 1: Sipping the kool Aid says, I will be rooting for 1391 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 1: Duke Williams. He's very intriguing to me, is the size 1392 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,840 Speaker 1: and athleticism that the Bills could surely use. He is 1393 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,840 Speaker 1: not your true CFL player? Is NFL stock was heard 1394 01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,560 Speaker 1: by some off field issues. So he played in this CFL. 1395 01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,680 Speaker 1: It sounds like he is matured a lot. Your thoughts, Chris, Yeah, 1396 01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,680 Speaker 1: I mean he's dominated. I think he's a compelling figure 1397 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,520 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on, you know, through the course 1398 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 1: of the spring in the summer, and he offers this 1399 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,880 Speaker 1: receiving course something that they really do not have right 1400 01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,720 Speaker 1: now based on all their free agent signings. And that's 1401 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 1: true post up type size. I mean, he's six three 1402 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,240 Speaker 1: two twenty five. He's a big guy, and they don't 1403 01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,120 Speaker 1: really have that post up option right now. And I 1404 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 1: know it's the CFL, but when you dominate the CFL, 1405 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,920 Speaker 1: there should be some measure of that ability that carries 1406 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:20,400 Speaker 1: into the NFL. Successfully. He led the CFL in receiving yards. 1407 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean that's a fact. And it's just like you know, 1408 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,000 Speaker 1: those small college players that you draft, they need to 1409 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,200 Speaker 1: dominate at that small college level. They have to be 1410 01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 1: head and shoulders above everybody else. He was he was 1411 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,240 Speaker 1: last year in the CFL. So you know, that's something 1412 01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 1: that I'm I'm encouraged by. Now I want to see 1413 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,840 Speaker 1: it translate, you know, to the NFL. And as as 1414 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:46,920 Speaker 1: our tweeter mentioned, this guy came from a big SEC program. 1415 01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:49,439 Speaker 1: He just ran into some problems and it was due 1416 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 1: in part to his immaturity, but he kind of took 1417 01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 1: his pill swallowed it went up to the CFL, made 1418 01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,680 Speaker 1: a name for himself there, proved he could produce, and 1419 01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,519 Speaker 1: now here's a shot. And I don't want to believe 1420 01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 1: that he's not going to squander the opportunity that he 1421 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 1: has here with Buffalo. Which one are you rooting for 1422 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,560 Speaker 1: the most? Which Bills player? Give us a call?

The puzzle that has to come together, Yes, 1441 01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 1: and it's a jumble this year, just because of all 1442 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,360 Speaker 1: the new pieces.

You're working on 1446 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,800 Speaker 1: getting the edge done first before you start filling in 1447 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 1: the middle. And that's that's kind of what OTAs and 1448 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 1: you know even Rookie Mini Caamp is to a certain extent. Yeah, 1449 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,600 Speaker 1: trying to find little pieces on the edge, work your 1450 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,200 Speaker 1: way around, and then start getting in the middle.

Honestly, I'm pulling for whoever 1465 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,240 Speaker 1: on the defense that can drill Tom Brady into the churf. 1466 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, I don't want to pressure packages at 1467 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,640 Speaker 1: this point. I think we need sacks. I really appreciated 1468 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,439 Speaker 1: Sean O'Hara's comment earlier about having dirt bags. I think 1469 01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:32,439 Speaker 1: that's really true. Just wanted to get your take on it, guys. Yeah, okay, 1470 01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,600 Speaker 1: chosen what dirt bag? Yeah, because you know, you know 1471 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 1: it's I kind of hear Marv Levy in my ears. 1472 01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 1: You know, don't be dumb, don't be dirty. Um, but 1473 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:47,560 Speaker 1: I do want lineman with an edge. I got, you know, 1474 01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:50,560 Speaker 1: a little nastiness to their game. Cody Ford actually, in 1475 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,320 Speaker 1: some of the reports you read on him, has a 1476 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,800 Speaker 1: little bit of an edge to him. Likes finishing people 1477 01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,439 Speaker 1: at the end of plays, is still moving his feet 1478 01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,840 Speaker 1: at the whistle, So you like to hear that. You 1479 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:02,800 Speaker 1: don't have to watch too much Quentin Spain tape to 1480 01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,800 Speaker 1: figure out that that guy likes burying people and likes 1481 01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,840 Speaker 1: playing a physical brand of football on the offensive line. 1482 01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 1: And then beyond that, Tie and Secky, I mean the 1483 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:18,920 Speaker 1: way that guy was burying in Jadeveon Clowney and some 1484 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,800 Speaker 1: of that tape. I know it's just one game. I 1485 01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 1: know that, But if I've talked to some people in 1486 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:29,080 Speaker 1: Washington that have covered, you know, that football team for 1487 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,439 Speaker 1: a long time, and they say, look whatever and Secky 1488 01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:36,080 Speaker 1: filled in for Trent Williams. You didn't You didn't miss 1489 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,880 Speaker 1: Trent Williams. He's not Trent Williams. But I think that 1490 01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,240 Speaker 1: the point they were making there is there isn't really 1491 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,720 Speaker 1: that much of a drop off from a guy who 1492 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:47,679 Speaker 1: was the number four pick in the draft if memory 1493 01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:50,120 Speaker 1: serves to an undrafted guy who kind of made it 1494 01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 1: to the league the hard way. Um, and you know what, 1495 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:55,639 Speaker 1: you want to talk about people to root for. It's 1496 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,800 Speaker 1: hard not to root for Tye and Secky because there's 1497 01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 1: a guy that you know, really had to come up 1498 01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,120 Speaker 1: the hard way through the Arena league just to get 1499 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,120 Speaker 1: to the NFL, and I think there's some appeal there, 1500 01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:09,920 Speaker 1: you know, an easy guy to root for guy. I mean, 1501 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,400 Speaker 1: he kind of came up through the lower leagues of football, 1502 01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,720 Speaker 1: much the way Fred Jackson did, you know, and what 1503 01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,720 Speaker 1: a fan favorite Fred was. I think in Secky. You know, 1504 01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,120 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say he's gonna beloved to the level 1505 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,080 Speaker 1: that Fred Jackson was, but I think his path to 1506 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 1: the NFL makes him an easy guy to root for. 1507 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,880 Speaker 1: It's the caller's first point about finding somebody who can 1508 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,680 Speaker 1: sack Tom Brady. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you root for 1509 01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:34,880 Speaker 1: that guy, whoever it is. That guy may already be 1510 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:36,800 Speaker 1: in the roster, right. It might be Jerry Hughes, it 1511 01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:39,920 Speaker 1: might be Trent Murphy. Who knows. And I don't get 1512 01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 1: caught up in sacks, I know, and the caller said 1513 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,920 Speaker 1: that he doesn't want to hear about pass wretch packages 1514 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,200 Speaker 1: and sacks are important. The Bills did not get enough 1515 01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,639 Speaker 1: last year, but it's more important to have consistent pressure 1516 01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,200 Speaker 1: and disrupting timing. I know people say that at the time, 1517 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,920 Speaker 1: but it's true. Get Brady out of Saint get Brady 1518 01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:57,000 Speaker 1: out of the middle of the field, prevent Brady from 1519 01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,639 Speaker 1: stepping up into the middle of the pocket. Those things 1520 01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,519 Speaker 1: are If you bring him down with the sack, that's 1521 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:05,599 Speaker 1: okay too. What do you think either way? I mean, 1522 01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,799 Speaker 1: I just like the fact that there's there are guys 1523 01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:14,320 Speaker 1: here among this offensive line contingent whoever the starting five 1524 01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:18,920 Speaker 1: end up being, whoever they are. I believe that those 1525 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: battles that you did not see this team win at 1526 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,000 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. I mean there were times when 1527 01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,920 Speaker 1: they just got manhandled Murph. I mean they couldn't reach 1528 01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:28,600 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage was being reset two yards in 1529 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,760 Speaker 1: the Bill's backfield. And I think you mentioned the it 1530 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,799 Speaker 1: was a PFF stat or some other analytic metric about 1531 01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: how much contact Leshawn McCoy had before I even reached 1532 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And you're saying, people are wondering, 1533 01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:43,000 Speaker 1: does Lashawn McCoy haven't even Yeah, he does. It's kind 1534 01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,080 Speaker 1: of hard to get positive yards when you got arms 1535 01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:46,720 Speaker 1: and people will trying to wrap you up before you 1536 01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:50,760 Speaker 1: even get to the line, and it compromised everything that 1537 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: they were trying to do on offense. So to have 1538 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:54,920 Speaker 1: guys with a little edge. It was clear to me 1539 01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:58,280 Speaker 1: the people they targeted, most of them have an edge 1540 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,720 Speaker 1: to their game. I think Mitch Morris's probably one of 1541 01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:04,080 Speaker 1: the exceptions who's more of the technical, you know, mobile 1542 01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:08,439 Speaker 1: athletic type lineman, and Spencer Long to a certain degree 1543 01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,000 Speaker 1: is maybe more of an athletic lineman. And they needed 1544 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,640 Speaker 1: athleticism too, I mean, make no mistake about that. But 1545 01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,599 Speaker 1: you look at Feliciano. I don't know if I want 1546 01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 1: to pass that guy in the hallway, forget about going 1547 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:22,160 Speaker 1: out on a football field. And you know you have 1548 01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:24,519 Speaker 1: a guy, as we already mentioned in spanned from Tennessee, 1549 01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,200 Speaker 1: comes here from Tennessee, and then in Seki. I mean 1550 01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:28,960 Speaker 1: he came on set, Murph when I was filling in 1551 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,080 Speaker 1: for Steve with you, and I went to shake his 1552 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,799 Speaker 1: hand in my hand and half my forearm was swallowed. 1553 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,800 Speaker 1: And I believe me, I'm make no mistake. I know 1554 01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:41,120 Speaker 1: I am not an NFL physical person at all. I 1555 01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,800 Speaker 1: mean I'm next to him, I'm I mean, I might 1556 01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,000 Speaker 1: as well be one of the Munchkins and the Wizard 1557 01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,760 Speaker 1: of Oz. But but my point here is there is 1558 01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 1: a level of nastiness that some of these lineman candidates 1559 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,639 Speaker 1: have that is going to pay dividends for the Bills 1560 01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,240 Speaker 1: because they're not going to get pushed around anymore upfront, 1561 01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,000 Speaker 1: and if they lose on a play, they've got this 1562 01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,840 Speaker 1: mindset that they're gonna go doubly hard the next play 1563 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 1: to try to give it right back. I just think 1564 01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:11,400 Speaker 1: that there were times last year when the Bills got 1565 01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 1: punched in the mouth and they didn't respond, and I 1566 01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:19,080 Speaker 1: think that drove coach McDermott crazy at times, because coach McDermott, 1567 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna give it to you straight. If he didn't 1568 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,400 Speaker 1: think a group or a unit or a side of 1569 01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:27,160 Speaker 1: the ball did well enough, he'll say right and after 1570 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,400 Speaker 1: the game it's gotta be better. It wasn't good enough. 1571 01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:31,400 Speaker 1: And he said that a lot last year about his 1572 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,599 Speaker 1: offensive line. Which Bill's player you're rooting for the most 1573 01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,240 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, that's a question on the table. Tyler 1574 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,320 Speaker 1: in Depew has a thought on that. Tyler, go ahead, 1575 01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 1: you're on the air with this love the show listen 1576 01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,679 Speaker 1: every day. Thanks. I think you gotta get the vacation 1577 01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,720 Speaker 1: playing that. Steve's got yeah, no kidding, nobody's got that. 1578 01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:53,040 Speaker 1: I gotta get it. I'll sign his agent whatever I 1579 01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:56,680 Speaker 1: gotta do there, my goodness. But yeah, my players that 1580 01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for is gonna be Zay Jones. I think 1581 01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 1: after his first rookie season, people were ready to write 1582 01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,200 Speaker 1: him off, right, I don't blame some of the drops 1583 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,479 Speaker 1: that he had really on him. And then after the 1584 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,200 Speaker 1: off field issues and everything like Daddy had, I thought 1585 01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,320 Speaker 1: he came back and had a really good second year. 1586 01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:14,080 Speaker 1: And then, as Lorenzo said the other day, he was 1587 01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,200 Speaker 1: leading me on the off season workout and he was 1588 01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,519 Speaker 1: winning in points. That's a guy A really root for that, 1589 01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,760 Speaker 1: that grinding that grit. That's a good point, really good point. 1590 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 1: You know. Um, it was Mark Leevie who used to 1591 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,200 Speaker 1: talk about how it took wide receivers a little bit 1592 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,360 Speaker 1: longer than everyone else take it up to speed in 1593 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. We may be seeing some of that was 1594 01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,880 Speaker 1: a Jones last year. Last year was not a step back, 1595 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:36,800 Speaker 1: by the way, it was a step forward, even with 1596 01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,160 Speaker 1: the slow start. You know, he turns out as the top, 1597 01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:42,040 Speaker 1: if not one of the top receivers on the team. 1598 01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,599 Speaker 1: I was did the team just not just in terms 1599 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,800 Speaker 1: of numbers, but just in terms of a guy you 1600 01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,400 Speaker 1: could count on to be there in the really struggling 1601 01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,400 Speaker 1: passing games. A Jones was usually there and usually ready 1602 01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:55,280 Speaker 1: to help. So I think that's a really good selection 1603 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,880 Speaker 1: Fremia Tyler. And by no means was he perfect, But 1604 01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,040 Speaker 1: in comparison to year one, he took us step after 1605 01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,400 Speaker 1: what was a very tumultuous offseason for a couple of reasons, 1606 01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 1: between so shoulder surgery in the off season, on the 1607 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:09,919 Speaker 1: off the field issue. You know, he had to overcome 1608 01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,720 Speaker 1: a lot. He was coming into year two behind. He 1609 01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:15,680 Speaker 1: was woefully behind. He didn't participate in no tas and 1610 01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:17,920 Speaker 1: I don't believe he even participated in mini camp. I 1611 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,920 Speaker 1: think you're right, and he and they missed the first 1612 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 1: couple of days of training camp. Now that it's coming 1613 01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 1: back to me, so to miss all of that time 1614 01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,639 Speaker 1: in what was a new offense too under Brian Dable. 1615 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:31,880 Speaker 1: At the end of the year, he's leading the team 1616 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:35,160 Speaker 1: in receiving yards and I believe in receptions. I might 1617 01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:36,840 Speaker 1: I might be wrong. It might be finished one or 1618 01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: two in receptions, but he put together a pretty good season. 1619 01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,479 Speaker 1: Now he's coming off a clean off season where he's 1620 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,160 Speaker 1: been able to focus on football stuff and football stuff 1621 01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,479 Speaker 1: only not three months of rehab, do you know what 1622 01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,120 Speaker 1: I mean? Like, I just I think it'll make a 1623 01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:53,599 Speaker 1: difference for him second year in this scheme, and as 1624 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,479 Speaker 1: you and I have both talked about, he's added some 1625 01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 1: lean muscle mass to his upper body to try to 1626 01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 1: win more of those contested catches when he's got a 1627 01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:07,000 Speaker 1: guy tighten man coverage on him. And I'm not comparing 1628 01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:09,639 Speaker 1: him to Derek Molds, but Joe Garret Moules three seasons 1629 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,320 Speaker 1: before he emerged, So you know, if he can follow 1630 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,040 Speaker 1: along on that track, I think people will be pretty 1631 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,920 Speaker 1: darn happy. He's got his third position coach in three 1632 01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 1: years with its right. At least Chad Hall was here 1633 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 1: last year in some offensive assistant capacity, so he's not 1634 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 1: completely foreign. But yeah, you're right, so there is a 1635 01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:29,280 Speaker 1: level of change there. But I think it's even more 1636 01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 1: important that the scheme is the same this year for 1637 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,000 Speaker 1: him and everybody else that was here last year. It's 1638 01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 1: called from Joe in Cheek Dowaga. Hello, Joe, go ahead, 1639 01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,519 Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. Hey doing guys, you 1640 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:40,479 Speaker 1: know the player I'm rooting for the most of Sean 1641 01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 1: McCoy because I think it was really a bummer for 1642 01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,720 Speaker 1: him that he had no blocking up front, he had 1643 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,839 Speaker 1: no passing game. It's kind of put a little tarnish 1644 01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 1: on his career, you know, and he doesn't deserve that 1645 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,840 Speaker 1: because so with the front blocking and maybe a little 1646 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:56,599 Speaker 1: better passing game, show he's still the player we always 1647 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,240 Speaker 1: knew he was. Yeah, I hope you're right, Joe, and 1648 01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:01,240 Speaker 1: you're it's a very interesting point. Because of his age, 1649 01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:05,000 Speaker 1: quite frankly, and because of his dropoff in production around 1650 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:06,840 Speaker 1: the league. You get the sense of people are like, well, 1651 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,200 Speaker 1: that's a shady's on the downside. I'm not so convinced 1652 01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,559 Speaker 1: that's true. I don't think it is. I think they're 1653 01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 1: going to be cognizant of how many snaps he gets, 1654 01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 1: how many carries he gets. They've added more, you know, 1655 01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:22,760 Speaker 1: people in the backfield, Singletary and and Frank Gore to 1656 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:24,640 Speaker 1: maybe take some of the load off. But I'm not 1657 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,160 Speaker 1: convinced that he is on the downside yet. I don't 1658 01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:28,600 Speaker 1: know that I'm ready to say that. I want to 1659 01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 1: see how that, you know, the season starts out for 1660 01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 1: him and now it progresses. I do think he is 1661 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,479 Speaker 1: going to be the feature back if he's healthy through 1662 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:37,719 Speaker 1: the course of the year, he will be the workhorse 1663 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:41,320 Speaker 1: back there, I believe Chris, Yeah, I can't believe how 1664 01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:44,400 Speaker 1: it must have felt last year knowing you have the 1665 01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:46,680 Speaker 1: ability to make a difference for a football team, but 1666 01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 1: you are ultimately dependent on the guys that are blocking 1667 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:52,760 Speaker 1: in front of you. And you know that if the 1668 01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:56,160 Speaker 1: assignments are carried out up front, that you can provide more, 1669 01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:59,800 Speaker 1: contribute more to the success of your football team offensively, 1670 01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,080 Speaker 1: but that the opportunities just are not presenting themselves for 1671 01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 1: you to do that. That's got to be immensely frustrating. 1672 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,639 Speaker 1: I have to believe that there were several times last 1673 01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:10,800 Speaker 1: year where LaShaun just had to bite his tongue. Ye, 1674 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:13,599 Speaker 1: who are you rooting for? On the Bill's roster? You're 1675 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:15,240 Speaker 1: probably rooting for many of them, but which one are 1676 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,479 Speaker 1: you rooting for the most? On the tweet sheet from 1677 01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:20,240 Speaker 1: Jack says rooting for all of them, but on offense, 1678 01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:22,240 Speaker 1: I really want to see if Shady can bounce back 1679 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 1: and be the dynamo he was in the past for 1680 01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:26,680 Speaker 1: at least one more year. That's a good thought, he says. 1681 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Matt Milano on defense. He had such 1682 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:31,479 Speaker 1: a nice season Borderline Pro Bowl. Hope you can get 1683 01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:33,760 Speaker 1: back to the forum and build on that. That's a 1684 01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:35,680 Speaker 1: good guy to root for. Two coming back from an 1685 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,280 Speaker 1: injury that took him off the field, but it wasn't 1686 01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:40,840 Speaker 1: a crippling injury either. He should be fine. I see 1687 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,120 Speaker 1: him out here all the time in the offseason workouts. Yeah. 1688 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:47,320 Speaker 1: I don't see any kind of ankle brace or anything 1689 01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,960 Speaker 1: like that coming off the broken bone that he had 1690 01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,800 Speaker 1: near the bottom of his leg by his ankle after 1691 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:56,920 Speaker 1: that goal line play late in the season. I suppose 1692 01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,120 Speaker 1: he could be slightly limited here at the start of 1693 01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:02,400 Speaker 1: OTA's but I would say at the latest, I mean, 1694 01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 1: if he is somewhat limited, I would say by mini 1695 01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:07,120 Speaker 1: camp here, yeah, I mean, I'm not a doctor, and 1696 01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,280 Speaker 1: I don't know his prognosis, but just by the way 1697 01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:11,200 Speaker 1: he looks and he's moving around out here, I think 1698 01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. Hey, we got Lorenzo Alexander coming 1699 01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,320 Speaker 1: into the studio in about twenty minutes. Chris and I 1700 01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:17,519 Speaker 1: back with more in a moment. One Bill's Live from 1701 01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:33,080 Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. One Bills 1702 01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:35,120 Speaker 1: five from One Bill Drive. John Murphy with Chris Brown 1703 01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 1: here until three, Lorenzo Alex Janders starting by two. A 1704 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,320 Speaker 1: couple of NFL notes today. I want to bring up 1705 01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:40,920 Speaker 1: with you, Chris, talk a little bit about We'll get 1706 01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,360 Speaker 1: back to our topic in a moment. Jordan Mills waits, waits, waits, 1707 01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:46,680 Speaker 1: and finally does sign a one year deal worth three 1708 01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:49,679 Speaker 1: million dollars for one year with the Miami Dolphins. According 1709 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,040 Speaker 1: to Adam Schefter, good for him. He was a good guy. 1710 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:54,479 Speaker 1: I think he was, you know, he was a he 1711 01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:56,680 Speaker 1: was serviceable, he was Yeah, and he played a lot. 1712 01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,599 Speaker 1: I mean he played a lot here. I'm gonna look 1713 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:00,519 Speaker 1: up as starts, but I know he got the majority 1714 01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:03,280 Speaker 1: of starts at right tackle for the last three years here, right, 1715 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,720 Speaker 1: Yeah he did. And yeah, he was you know, he 1716 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 1: was a serviceable player. You know. He wasn't a world beater, Nope. 1717 01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:15,240 Speaker 1: But he came in, he did his work. You didn't 1718 01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:16,599 Speaker 1: have to wonder about what you were going to get 1719 01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:19,200 Speaker 1: for him on a Sunday. But I think he was 1720 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:21,720 Speaker 1: one of those guys that it was pretty evident as 1721 01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,080 Speaker 1: the year was winding down that they were going to 1722 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,360 Speaker 1: look to see if they could do better. Yep, that's 1723 01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:29,160 Speaker 1: not to say that, you know, Jordan didn't do his 1724 01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,680 Speaker 1: level best every day he was here, because otherwise he 1725 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,439 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been starting the last three years, as you mentioned, 1726 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:39,200 Speaker 1: But I think they felt they had to upgrade, you know, 1727 01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,880 Speaker 1: when they did that three and four times over with 1728 01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,559 Speaker 1: all the acquisitions they've tried to make this offseason. So yeah, 1729 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,559 Speaker 1: you wish him lucked down there that that's a team 1730 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,280 Speaker 1: that's clearly in rebuild mode, so to have a veteran 1731 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,519 Speaker 1: like him on the edge is probably a welcome thing. 1732 01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,519 Speaker 1: Whether he takes a starting job, I guess remains to 1733 01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,559 Speaker 1: be seen, but Juwan James signed with Arizona and Agency, 1734 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,840 Speaker 1: who was their starting right tackle last year, so there 1735 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 1: is a vacancy there ye for him to fill. Started. 1736 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,720 Speaker 1: Jordan Mills started every game on the Bills offensive line 1737 01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,640 Speaker 1: over the last three seasons. Pro Football Focus had him 1738 01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:16,320 Speaker 1: ranked as the seventieth offensive tackle last season, which seems 1739 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,080 Speaker 1: about right. Came into the league as a fifth rounder 1740 01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,880 Speaker 1: out of Chicago in twenty thirteen, so he's fashioned a 1741 01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:25,320 Speaker 1: pretty decent, pretty decent career for himself so far. Jordan 1742 01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,240 Speaker 1: Mills signed on with the Miami Dolphins today. He'll have 1743 01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,360 Speaker 1: a good look at NFL pension yeah. Absolutely. The other 1744 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:35,280 Speaker 1: news which came overnight and it was kind of rumored yesterday, 1745 01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,920 Speaker 1: Ziggy Ansa, who the Bills were involved with, talk to 1746 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:40,800 Speaker 1: and decided to sign with. Seattle's going to fly there 1747 01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 1: today signed his contract one year deal, which is interesting. 1748 01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:47,519 Speaker 1: He'll be thirty and a couple of weeks. Fifth overall 1749 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,880 Speaker 1: pick in twenty thirteen. Last year, played seven games, two sacks. 1750 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 1: Had the shoulder, which still may be a problem right there. 1751 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 1: Reports that maybe he won't be ready to play right away, 1752 01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:59,240 Speaker 1: not until October. They're forecasting he could miss potentially the 1753 01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 1: first month of the season, And I think that is 1754 01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:04,719 Speaker 1: why it took this long for a team to finally 1755 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,840 Speaker 1: commit and say, yeah, you know what will take that 1756 01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,720 Speaker 1: risk on based on how you're recovering. You know, even 1757 01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:12,800 Speaker 1: if we don't have you the first few weeks, we'd 1758 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 1: like to have you for the last three quarters of 1759 01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:21,840 Speaker 1: the season. You know, the Bills were interested all along. Again, 1760 01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,120 Speaker 1: I think this was a decision that was made more 1761 01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:28,080 Speaker 1: by Onsa in terms of opportunity. He knew at this 1762 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,479 Speaker 1: point in time he was probably staring down the barrel 1763 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:32,680 Speaker 1: of a one year deal, and he knew if he 1764 01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,280 Speaker 1: was going to get another deal next offseason. He was 1765 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:36,920 Speaker 1: going to have to be on the field, and he 1766 01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,280 Speaker 1: was going to have to produce, especially now that we 1767 01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:41,800 Speaker 1: know that in all likelihood he's probably only going to 1768 01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:45,360 Speaker 1: play at most twelve games. So you're only playing twelve games, 1769 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,879 Speaker 1: you better get on the field a lot and produce 1770 01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:50,559 Speaker 1: and put up numbers to convince the league you can 1771 01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,160 Speaker 1: still play at a high level. And if you're in 1772 01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,200 Speaker 1: a rotational system here in Buffalo and rotating in with 1773 01:25:56,280 --> 01:26:01,320 Speaker 1: the likes of Shack Lawson, Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy, you're 1774 01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,760 Speaker 1: probably not getting a ton of snaps and that could 1775 01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,880 Speaker 1: compromise your productivity and thereby compromise your chance to get 1776 01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,599 Speaker 1: another contract next year. So I think he looked where 1777 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,639 Speaker 1: he could get on the field the most and chose 1778 01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 1: that as his ultimate destination. Adam Schefter said the deal 1779 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,120 Speaker 1: expected to include five and a half billion dollars guaranteed, 1780 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:20,479 Speaker 1: with the ton of incentives that could boost it to 1781 01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,880 Speaker 1: boosted by another eight million. Now last year he made 1782 01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:26,360 Speaker 1: more than nets he was tagged last year seventeen point 1783 01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,560 Speaker 1: one million. So it's a pay cut, but not a 1784 01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,000 Speaker 1: real huge pay cut for a one year deal. For sigions, 1785 01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 1: and he's just said. The report is his shoulder might 1786 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,000 Speaker 1: keep him out at least through camp, and maybe he'll 1787 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,240 Speaker 1: miss the first month of the regular season. And this 1788 01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:41,479 Speaker 1: isn't a guy that only had shoulder problems. He's had 1789 01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:46,120 Speaker 1: ankle problems and other assorted injuries. And as you said, 1790 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:50,439 Speaker 1: seven games played last year. He's, to his credit, a 1791 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:53,479 Speaker 1: lot of the time he has played hurt, which has 1792 01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:57,880 Speaker 1: also compromised his effectiveness. But I would expect Seattle to 1793 01:26:57,960 --> 01:26:59,680 Speaker 1: be patient with this guy. If he's got to sit 1794 01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:02,400 Speaker 1: the first four weeks, they'll let him do that. And 1795 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,680 Speaker 1: if they can get twelve strong games out of him, 1796 01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think they guess they obviously feel it's 1797 01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:11,880 Speaker 1: worth it. Yeah. You know, you wonder of all the 1798 01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,040 Speaker 1: teams that he visited, Buffalo, Baltimore, New Orleans, whether either 1799 01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:18,360 Speaker 1: of those three, any of those three teams felt similarly 1800 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,360 Speaker 1: in terms of risk reward that the Seahawks did to 1801 01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:23,200 Speaker 1: take the plunge here and sign them to the contract 1802 01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,120 Speaker 1: they did. It's pretty big contract for a guy who's 1803 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 1: not healthy. Call on the line from Brady in Vermont. 1804 01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:32,200 Speaker 1: Hello Brady, welcome to the show. Yeah, Hey John, Hey Chris, 1805 01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:34,600 Speaker 1: all Right, first and foremost, thank thanks so much for 1806 01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:37,240 Speaker 1: everything you guys do. I'm in Vermont, but I feel 1807 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,000 Speaker 1: like I'm right there in Buffalo because you guys always 1808 01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:41,519 Speaker 1: keep me up to date on the lakes, that great 1809 01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 1: mountain state. How about it. You're welcome, Brady. Thank you. Yeah. 1810 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,519 Speaker 1: I had a couple of things to say. Number Number one, 1811 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:50,800 Speaker 1: the player I'm rooting for the most this year is 1812 01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:55,240 Speaker 1: definitely going to be Robert Foster. Undrafted kump, came in, 1813 01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,640 Speaker 1: got cut, and then came back the later part of 1814 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:01,559 Speaker 1: the season, and he put together a great later part 1815 01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 1: of the season. I'm really excited for him, really rooting 1816 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,080 Speaker 1: for him to see what he does. And as that 1817 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:08,800 Speaker 1: other caller had mentioned, Zay Jones, I think it's really 1818 01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,080 Speaker 1: going to come down to Robert Foster and Zay Jones 1819 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 1: competing with each other to see who earns time on 1820 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:16,679 Speaker 1: the field. So really excited to see how that plays out. Okay, 1821 01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:19,880 Speaker 1: the other question, the question I had for you guys 1822 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:23,759 Speaker 1: about our backfield is you know, once t J. Yelden 1823 01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:26,200 Speaker 1: got signed, I kind of got a little hiccup in 1824 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,680 Speaker 1: my stomach. I love Lashawn McCoy. I agree with that 1825 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 1: other caller that I think, you know, having that offensive line, 1826 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:36,040 Speaker 1: he wasn't really showing his best. And I really think 1827 01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:37,840 Speaker 1: that he is primed to have a bounce back year 1828 01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 1: if he's on the roster. But I'm worried that the 1829 01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:44,040 Speaker 1: signings of Gore and Yelden kind of single things to come. 1830 01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 1: And I know Mike Rodac from ESPN had wrote an 1831 01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:51,519 Speaker 1: article about the crowded backfield and showing that the you know, 1832 01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:55,120 Speaker 1: the contracts that we owe McCoy in relation to Gore 1833 01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:58,240 Speaker 1: and Yelden and financially, how it looks like he could 1834 01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:01,360 Speaker 1: be a potential cut or trade. UM just wanted to 1835 01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,280 Speaker 1: get your guys take on that. If you think that's 1836 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:07,639 Speaker 1: um yeah, that there's any credence in that, Um yeah, 1837 01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,080 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a chance of a cut, Chris. 1838 01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:13,519 Speaker 1: And now, you do not part with someone of Leshaun 1839 01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,599 Speaker 1: McCoy's caliber without getting something in return. I mean, there 1840 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 1: is value in him across the league. So I don't 1841 01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:24,200 Speaker 1: think you just outright release the guy. I think if 1842 01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,559 Speaker 1: I and I'll say this, I think the Bills would 1843 01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:29,680 Speaker 1: have to be blown away by a trade offer to 1844 01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:33,360 Speaker 1: part with Leshan At this point in time. I don't 1845 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:36,760 Speaker 1: think they're actively seeking anything like that right now. I 1846 01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:40,479 Speaker 1: think their plan going forward is for Leshan to be 1847 01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 1: the feature back, and I wouldn't be surprised if his 1848 01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:48,320 Speaker 1: workload is lightened to a degree with the presence of 1849 01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:51,560 Speaker 1: people like Frank Gore and Yeldon and Devin Singletary on 1850 01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:55,160 Speaker 1: the roster. But I think it at the end of 1851 01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:58,479 Speaker 1: the season, provided he stays healthy, he's the guy that's 1852 01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:00,439 Speaker 1: going to get the most work because you're hanging him 1853 01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:02,880 Speaker 1: to be your feature back right now. But he is 1854 01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:04,800 Speaker 1: in the last year of his contract. Where it goes 1855 01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:06,800 Speaker 1: beyond the twenty nineteen season, I think is a whole 1856 01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 1: different conversation. We'll see. I wouldn't rule anything out, not 1857 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:13,920 Speaker 1: with this leadership group here, but I'd be surprised if 1858 01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:16,880 Speaker 1: Lashawn was not on the roster on opening date. We'll see. 1859 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,280 Speaker 1: Things will sort themselves out. I mean, things happen. You 1860 01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:21,800 Speaker 1: don't know what team could call with some kind of 1861 01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:26,639 Speaker 1: mega offer that they just cannot refuse. I suppose that's 1862 01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:30,040 Speaker 1: a remote possibility, especially if some other club loses their 1863 01:30:30,080 --> 01:30:32,800 Speaker 1: feature back to a major injury and is looking to 1864 01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:36,920 Speaker 1: do something to kind of refortify that position, and maybe 1865 01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,880 Speaker 1: that pops up as an option, but short of that, 1866 01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean I think he's here. We're gonna take a break. 1867 01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:45,080 Speaker 1: When we return, it is time for the Lowdown with 1868 01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,080 Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander, Bills linebacker will be in studio with us 1869 01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:50,439 Speaker 1: when Chris and I come back.

ASA coming off a shoulder injury.

The Seahawks made the commitment and 1887 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,320 Speaker 1: signed Ziggy Onsa.

I was driving somewhere 1919 01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:35,120 Speaker 1: Saturday morning and that song came on the radio. I 1920 01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:38,320 Speaker 1: did it. I had started bobbing. You know yours does 1921 01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:41,280 Speaker 1: every day? I had started bobbing. It's infectious, that's no, 1922 01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:45,800 Speaker 1: it is like, welcome week four of offseason conditioning? Where 1923 01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,160 Speaker 1: what has been accomplished over this first month? Do you 1924 01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:50,760 Speaker 1: think of offseason conditioning? Is there anything you can see? Um? 1925 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,240 Speaker 1: I think the biggest things during this time is obviously 1926 01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 1: guys are getting start because you continue to lift waste 1927 01:33:55,280 --> 01:34:00,400 Speaker 1: over this last month. M guy's getting closer building relationships again, 1928 01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:02,960 Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes head over. I mean in his house last night, 1929 01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,000 Speaker 1: about eight or nine guys just hanging out getting to 1930 01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,160 Speaker 1: know each other, just fellowship and having a good time. 1931 01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:10,120 Speaker 1: And probably the most important thing is is that we 1932 01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:11,680 Speaker 1: have been able to go on the field and we're 1933 01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:15,799 Speaker 1: actually getting a better grasp of the schemes, whether it's offense, 1934 01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,840 Speaker 1: defense or special teams. Is feeling and really getting a 1935 01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,240 Speaker 1: certain comfort level. And I was just talking to Sean today, 1936 01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:24,559 Speaker 1: me and Tremaine, just how much more comfortable you feel. 1937 01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:26,599 Speaker 1: I'm in year three, he's obviously going to year two. 1938 01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:30,160 Speaker 1: Being in one scheme, you just start understanding the little 1939 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,200 Speaker 1: nuances that allow you to be one step closer to 1940 01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:36,679 Speaker 1: making big plays. And that's why I'm so excited, especially 1941 01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:38,560 Speaker 1: with Tremaine and his growth and just be able to 1942 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:40,080 Speaker 1: get out there for my third year and try to 1943 01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:42,880 Speaker 1: improve even again based on what I did my first 1944 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,240 Speaker 1: second now my third year in his defense? Can you 1945 01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:47,519 Speaker 1: give it an example what kind of nuances you see here? 1946 01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:52,360 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is, you know, football is 1947 01:34:52,400 --> 01:34:54,360 Speaker 1: not a static sport, so there's a lot of things 1948 01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,880 Speaker 1: that are going on from a defensive perspective that you're 1949 01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,680 Speaker 1: reacting to, especially when you have teams that do a 1950 01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:02,920 Speaker 1: lot of motioning, whether it's a receiver or tight end. Change. 1951 01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:06,920 Speaker 1: Costs can change, blitches can change, and just understanding where 1952 01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:08,800 Speaker 1: you fit, where everybody else is going to be at, 1953 01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:11,000 Speaker 1: where I'm gonna be at. Can I play down hill 1954 01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:12,880 Speaker 1: on this play? Do I have to read the D 1955 01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:16,120 Speaker 1: lineman and then be downhill? Do I have a safety 1956 01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:18,640 Speaker 1: over the top? You know, all those little things that 1957 01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:21,840 Speaker 1: I understand a little bit better conceptually will allow me 1958 01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,200 Speaker 1: to you know, if a guy's a better athlete, maybe 1959 01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:26,600 Speaker 1: I can cheat here, cheat inside and then make a 1960 01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:28,920 Speaker 1: play or be downhill and maybe get a couple more 1961 01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,120 Speaker 1: tackles for lost this year, because I know, if my 1962 01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,200 Speaker 1: D line is stunning and this the C gap is 1963 01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:35,840 Speaker 1: going to be open, so now I'm hitting it quicker 1964 01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,360 Speaker 1: versus I'm not quite sure where I was supposed to 1965 01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:41,120 Speaker 1: be and then you kind of fall into a one 1966 01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:44,400 Speaker 1: yard game tackle versus a two yard lost tackle. So 1967 01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned how you know you got a 1968 01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:49,040 Speaker 1: bunch of guys hanging at Jerry's house the other night, 1969 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,799 Speaker 1: and guys getting to know each other on the offensive 1970 01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:54,560 Speaker 1: side of the ball, particularly for the offensive line, and 1971 01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:57,640 Speaker 1: all the new guys coming through, right, how does that 1972 01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:02,240 Speaker 1: dynamic kind of manifest itself in the way that it 1973 01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:04,800 Speaker 1: does for you guys on defense, who all know each 1974 01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:07,000 Speaker 1: other at least to a certain degree on the surface, 1975 01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:10,880 Speaker 1: and who and how hard might that be for one 1976 01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:13,599 Speaker 1: of those new vets to kind of step forward and say, Hey, 1977 01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:15,080 Speaker 1: why don't you come over to my house? Have you 1978 01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:17,640 Speaker 1: been within earshot of maybe some of those conversations in 1979 01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,040 Speaker 1: the locker room or witnessed some of that, because I 1980 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:22,120 Speaker 1: think a lot of people are wondering, is, you know, 1981 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:24,040 Speaker 1: with the lack of time, how that chemistry is going 1982 01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 1: to come together for the offensive line this year? Yeah? 1983 01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:27,680 Speaker 1: And it's different, and it's hard, And I know a 1984 01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:31,200 Speaker 1: lot of those guys are obviously not from Buffalo, haven't 1985 01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 1: set up shopping Buffalo yet, And it kind of end 1986 01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:35,960 Speaker 1: and out of town, and obviously Josh will do a 1987 01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:38,200 Speaker 1: great job with that. As far as inviting guys over, 1988 01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:40,640 Speaker 1: it has to be obviously someone here that's been here 1989 01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:41,840 Speaker 1: for a while. It's going to be seen as a 1990 01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:44,000 Speaker 1: leader that he's going to do that. And obviously it's 1991 01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:45,880 Speaker 1: going to fall on Josh because he's the quarterback. He's 1992 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:50,559 Speaker 1: the leader of that grouping. And I know he's reached 1993 01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:52,360 Speaker 1: out to a couple of guys to have over as well. 1994 01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:54,759 Speaker 1: Obviously I'm just more in the know of the defense, 1995 01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:56,840 Speaker 1: but I think he's having guys and you know, making 1996 01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:00,760 Speaker 1: sure they're going to dinner and doing things as well. Maybe, well, 1997 01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:03,120 Speaker 1: you're telling your family, right this time of year, many 1998 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:04,920 Speaker 1: players who are married and maybe have a couple of 1999 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,320 Speaker 1: kids in some family, their families not here, so this 2000 01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:09,280 Speaker 1: is the time for them to and you live here 2001 01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:11,320 Speaker 1: year around, right, Well, I've been done for guys to 2002 01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,120 Speaker 1: get together without family around right there looking for something 2003 01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:15,680 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, yes, so you have a lot more time. 2004 01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:17,880 Speaker 1: I mean, my wife wasn't here. I think maybe a 2005 01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:20,400 Speaker 1: week ago she wouldn't did something, and Jerry was having 2006 01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:22,560 Speaker 1: you know, a viewing party, was watching the Warriors in 2007 01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:24,360 Speaker 1: Houston or whatever, and we had the guys over there, 2008 01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:25,960 Speaker 1: so it's a lot easier when you don't have your 2009 01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:29,200 Speaker 1: your family around to get together. And it's also challenging 2010 01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:30,880 Speaker 1: because a lot of times those guys leave on the 2011 01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:33,080 Speaker 1: weekends where you have some time to do something, So 2012 01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:35,800 Speaker 1: this time it's kind of influx depending on who you 2013 01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:37,519 Speaker 1: are in position group you are as far as what 2014 01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:40,759 Speaker 1: guys are around to be able to put on something. 2015 01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:42,559 Speaker 1: But if you're here, you do have a lot more 2016 01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:44,160 Speaker 1: free time if your family is not with you. One 2017 01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:47,600 Speaker 1: conversation we were having yesterday on the show was with 2018 01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,720 Speaker 1: all of these rookies coming in this weekend, you know, 2019 01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:52,800 Speaker 1: it's just them and the coaches now, but then when 2020 01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,720 Speaker 1: ota start, yeah, the tempo picks up and they're gonna 2021 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,040 Speaker 1: have to really kind of get up to speed in 2022 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:00,360 Speaker 1: a hurry, and they're gonna be leaning on people like 2023 01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,280 Speaker 1: you or other guys who know this defense pretty intimately 2024 01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:05,080 Speaker 1: or the offense on the other side of the ball. 2025 01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:07,280 Speaker 1: And we were kind of just hashing it out, like 2026 01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:11,120 Speaker 1: which rookies might benefit the most from the veterans in 2027 01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:13,600 Speaker 1: front of them. I know, you know, Vashan Joseph is 2028 01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,639 Speaker 1: going to be a guy that's gonna probably be sitting 2029 01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:17,639 Speaker 1: next to you or looking over your shoulder every chance 2030 01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:20,320 Speaker 1: he has in the beating rooms, do you see like 2031 01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:23,200 Speaker 1: guys across I know Coach always says he'd like to 2032 01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:25,639 Speaker 1: have a leader in every room. Yeah, do you see 2033 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,320 Speaker 1: like good things there for the rookies coming in the 2034 01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:32,200 Speaker 1: door with kind of quote unquote mentors to kind of 2035 01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:35,360 Speaker 1: learn from or at least get some assistance when they 2036 01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:37,519 Speaker 1: need it. Yeah. Yeah. When I when I think think 2037 01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:39,840 Speaker 1: of our makeup of our rooms, most rooms have a 2038 01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:42,760 Speaker 1: guy that has the least been the league six or 2039 01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:45,280 Speaker 1: seven years, if you know. If I'm just kind of 2040 01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:46,800 Speaker 1: going through a real quick of my mom maybe the 2041 01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,320 Speaker 1: only position that doesn't have that is probably tied in. 2042 01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:52,280 Speaker 1: And that's why you have a guy that like Lee 2043 01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:54,160 Speaker 1: Smith coming in on the visit. I know, we have 2044 01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:57,880 Speaker 1: maybe some possible interest in being Watson as well, trying 2045 01:38:57,920 --> 01:38:59,320 Speaker 1: to find a guy that can be in that room 2046 01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 1: the leader. But most of the rooms, you know, just 2047 01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:02,920 Speaker 1: kind of going real quick, I think we do have 2048 01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,200 Speaker 1: somebody that can lead, or you have a guy that's 2049 01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:07,920 Speaker 1: been in the league and played you know, a while 2050 01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:10,160 Speaker 1: or a little bit and have some success, like you Davis. 2051 01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:11,920 Speaker 1: Even though he's going to a third year. He can 2052 01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,320 Speaker 1: help a young football you know, he can help a 2053 01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:15,880 Speaker 1: young corner out. So it doesn't necessarily have to be 2054 01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:18,840 Speaker 1: an old guy. But we do have some good experience guys, 2055 01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:21,000 Speaker 1: you know. And I think that's a you know, contributed 2056 01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:22,680 Speaker 1: to what Sean and Brandon have done as far as 2057 01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:25,439 Speaker 1: bringing guys in, Guys that are confident in who they are, 2058 01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:28,479 Speaker 1: know what they're doing, a professional, and really don't mind 2059 01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 1: sharing information to give it to somebody else because they 2060 01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:33,680 Speaker 1: understand that I'm gonna compete, I enjoy competing. I'm going 2061 01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:35,720 Speaker 1: to help this young man out is gonna help our team, 2062 01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:37,400 Speaker 1: and it's gonna help me because he's gonna push me 2063 01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:39,479 Speaker 1: as well. And so I feel like we have that 2064 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:42,360 Speaker 1: in every single room, even in the tightening room, when 2065 01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:44,280 Speaker 1: you have guys that may not have been the league 2066 01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:46,560 Speaker 1: a long time, guys that can definitely pour into some 2067 01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:48,680 Speaker 1: of the younger players you came up in under the 2068 01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:51,120 Speaker 1: old regime, under Rex in that group, and I wonder 2069 01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:54,519 Speaker 1: when if when McDermott's group brings in these guys, does 2070 01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:57,519 Speaker 1: he absolutely spell out to them, look, you're here to 2071 01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,639 Speaker 1: lead in that room. Did you say that the Frank 2072 01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:02,559 Speaker 1: Gord As you said to Mitch Moore, this is along 2073 01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:08,000 Speaker 1: with playing, and I would assume so obviously I haven't 2074 01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:09,760 Speaker 1: been in one of those meetings. I mean, but when 2075 01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:12,439 Speaker 1: he's when he's talked to me. Um, when I was 2076 01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:14,360 Speaker 1: a free agent, he expected me to come in here 2077 01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:16,719 Speaker 1: and obviously be a leader. Um, even when I signed 2078 01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:19,040 Speaker 1: back this offseason. That was one of the big things 2079 01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:20,880 Speaker 1: for them, is for me to be a leader on 2080 01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:23,840 Speaker 1: the defense and in the linebacker room, as well as 2081 01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,360 Speaker 1: just the locker room in general. Um. So I'm pretty 2082 01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:28,240 Speaker 1: sure with those guys he did make an emphasis of 2083 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:31,880 Speaker 1: what he wants wants them to do. But those guys 2084 01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:33,639 Speaker 1: are just naturally like that. That's part of the reason 2085 01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,800 Speaker 1: why they sought after those guys when you mentioned Mitch Morris, 2086 01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:38,560 Speaker 1: because they know their ladies. You don't even have to 2087 01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:40,640 Speaker 1: necessarily have a conversation with him. He's just going to 2088 01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:44,000 Speaker 1: naturally integrate into the locker room and become a leader. 2089 01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:46,759 Speaker 1: Guys gravitate to him. And I've kind of noticed that already, 2090 01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:50,080 Speaker 1: and and things happened pretty quickly. We got guys listening 2091 01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:55,240 Speaker 1: to us right now, listen to this conversation to leaders. Yeah, yeah, 2092 01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:57,880 Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, so I get that too. I mean, 2093 01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:01,160 Speaker 1: and you know, it's the chicken of the egg what 2094 01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:03,800 Speaker 1: comes first. And people always think great talent. If you 2095 01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:06,160 Speaker 1: have a whole bunch of talented all pro guys, you're 2096 01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:08,479 Speaker 1: gonna win. No, you're not. I mean I always think 2097 01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:11,280 Speaker 1: about the Dallas Cowboys who had eleven Pro Bowlers on 2098 01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:13,600 Speaker 1: the team and didn't win a playoff game. So it 2099 01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:16,679 Speaker 1: is a mix of all those things. I can guarantee 2100 01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:19,280 Speaker 1: you this that if you have a less talented team 2101 01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:21,760 Speaker 1: but have great character and great leadership, that team will 2102 01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:24,360 Speaker 1: go a lot further than a team that has great 2103 01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:27,840 Speaker 1: talent but it's broken and guys don't work, don't communicate 2104 01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:29,360 Speaker 1: at all, because that team is going to become a 2105 01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:32,240 Speaker 1: dumpster fire. And guy's appointing fingers because at some point 2106 01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,840 Speaker 1: it's going to be adversity. Yeah, if everything is hunky dorry, 2107 01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:36,479 Speaker 1: you're just throwing guys out there, Yeah, that team will 2108 01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:38,880 Speaker 1: probably win. But life doesn't work like that, and you 2109 01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:42,360 Speaker 1: need character. You need leadership in order to direct a 2110 01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:45,680 Speaker 1: group of men going in the same direction over sixteen, 2111 01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:48,840 Speaker 1: you know, possibly twenty games in order to win a championship. 2112 01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:51,040 Speaker 1: And that's just that's in any walk of life that 2113 01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:54,320 Speaker 1: you find yourself in. Jel Alegender. Our guests didn't studio 2114 01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:56,240 Speaker 1: with us. We didn't ask this and we usually get 2115 01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:58,400 Speaker 1: it out of the way early iron bells. Who's got 2116 01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:01,120 Speaker 1: the belt this week? How's that going? Pat De Marco's 2117 01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,519 Speaker 1: team has to build again. They won the bike the 2118 01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:08,479 Speaker 1: amazing race. Yeah, it was big and they beat I 2119 01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:10,479 Speaker 1: think they beat the team by eleven seconds. We finished 2120 01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:12,000 Speaker 1: TI for fourth. We're kind of in the middle of 2121 01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:14,519 Speaker 1: the pack right now. I think CREWM is still number 2122 01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:17,080 Speaker 1: one in individual. I'm number two sitting right there, so 2123 01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm still in striking dissis of him. I think I'm 2124 01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:22,040 Speaker 1: like two points behind. So everything it's going for. I'm 2125 01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:24,000 Speaker 1: really worried, you know, I say this. I'm a team guy, 2126 01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:26,680 Speaker 1: but I'm really worried about the individual That's what I want. 2127 01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,000 Speaker 1: I haven't won that one. I've won a team award. 2128 01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:31,840 Speaker 1: I've done that my first year, uh me and um 2129 01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:35,720 Speaker 1: I was on Sandborn's team. Um who was our snapper here? 2130 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:39,280 Speaker 1: I first guy here. Uh But I haven't won the 2131 01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:42,439 Speaker 1: overall individual award. I was second last year. So I'm 2132 01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:45,160 Speaker 1: really my my focus is on the win that you 2133 01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:47,280 Speaker 1: know before I get out of here, Taiwan Jones won 2134 01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:49,720 Speaker 1: last year, right, yes, Taiwan one, and I missed the 2135 01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:51,679 Speaker 1: day last year. It's a couple of things that worked 2136 01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:53,679 Speaker 1: against me, but that was that's on me as my fault. 2137 01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm not missing any days this year. Any incentive, you know, 2138 01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:03,120 Speaker 1: maybe wager to finish first in the iron bills. This 2139 01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:06,120 Speaker 1: bragging rights matter, I mean, I mean, seattle on them. 2140 01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:08,600 Speaker 1: Do a great job because they understand all of us 2141 01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:11,040 Speaker 1: are alpha males and we love to compete. And if 2142 01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:13,880 Speaker 1: you want guys to work hard, just making a competition. 2143 01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:16,720 Speaker 1: And so he's done that. And obviously I doctored up 2144 01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:18,679 Speaker 1: a little bit with my trash talking week to week. 2145 01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:21,960 Speaker 1: And so guys, you know, they find me when they 2146 01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:23,800 Speaker 1: beat my group or they beat me in something, they 2147 01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:25,360 Speaker 1: come and find me and try to show it put 2148 01:43:25,479 --> 01:43:27,000 Speaker 1: in my face. But that's that's part of me leading. 2149 01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:29,519 Speaker 1: I try to entice them, talk trash and then get 2150 01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:31,360 Speaker 1: them to work a little harder. Ye, they think they're 2151 01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:38,720 Speaker 1: getting the best. Right here come the rookies coming through 2152 01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:40,960 Speaker 1: the door, probably as we speak, eight draft picks, a 2153 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,760 Speaker 1: number of undrafted Will you engage with them at all 2154 01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:45,519 Speaker 1: day plans to engage with them with all this week. 2155 01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:48,200 Speaker 1: Um yeah, well actually we were just in there. Um 2156 01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:50,400 Speaker 1: now all of them are kind of coming in getting 2157 01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:52,519 Speaker 1: their physicals and you know, seeing the doctors signed the 2158 01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,680 Speaker 1: paperwork off before. I think they had meetings tonight and 2159 01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:57,880 Speaker 1: they're just wide eyed, you know, sizing guys up, you know, 2160 01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:02,320 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. Don't know who's who. But yeah, 2161 01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:05,320 Speaker 1: and then also on Sunday, I'll I'll actually address them, 2162 01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:08,960 Speaker 1: I guess officially in an official kind of way as 2163 01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:11,920 Speaker 1: far as what we expect from a player perspective of rookies. 2164 01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:15,639 Speaker 1: Just trying to you know, just make the lines clear 2165 01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:18,320 Speaker 1: and the expectations very clear, because sometimes you walk in, Okay, 2166 01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:20,040 Speaker 1: well what I'm a first runner, what does that look like. 2167 01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm an undrafted guy, what does that look like? Who 2168 01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:23,840 Speaker 1: am I supposed to be? How do I fit in? 2169 01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:27,000 Speaker 1: And so really just letting them know, you know, be yourself. 2170 01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:31,360 Speaker 1: You've made it this far for a reason. You have abilities. 2171 01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:33,880 Speaker 1: But at the same time, what you did in college 2172 01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:37,479 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily translate to success here. And I texted several 2173 01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:38,920 Speaker 1: of the guys you know, coming out, we want to 2174 01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:41,519 Speaker 1: win a championship. Just have that mindset coming in and 2175 01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:44,240 Speaker 1: it's easy to say yes, right yeah, somebody texts me, yeah, 2176 01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:46,639 Speaker 1: I'm ready to work. But now you got to actually 2177 01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:48,880 Speaker 1: put the work in. And so you can't just be 2178 01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:51,639 Speaker 1: lip service. You can't hide really anymore in the NFL 2179 01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:55,080 Speaker 1: because everybody's talented, so you have to put that work in. 2180 01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:57,960 Speaker 1: And so just kind of painting that picture from a 2181 01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,760 Speaker 1: player's perspective, because coaches always harp on it, but I 2182 01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:03,320 Speaker 1: think it's more well received when it comes from somebody 2183 01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:04,920 Speaker 1: that's gonna be lined up aside of you, and I'm 2184 01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:06,960 Speaker 1: not going to ask any of them something that I'm 2185 01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:10,160 Speaker 1: not willing to do. Shifting years earlier, this week, off 2186 01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:12,680 Speaker 1: the field, you know, you and Mike and a few 2187 01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:16,680 Speaker 1: other veteran players kind of spearheaded the Inspired Change initiative 2188 01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:21,760 Speaker 1: locally here, going to six different um, you know, offices 2189 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:24,479 Speaker 1: in the local area to provide some support not only 2190 01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:26,559 Speaker 1: in terms of your presence, but you know, you guys 2191 01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:28,800 Speaker 1: are digging into your own pockets and you know, kind 2192 01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,680 Speaker 1: of donating some money just to kind of foster some 2193 01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:35,479 Speaker 1: social change and you know, inspire change, you know in 2194 01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,720 Speaker 1: the area. Right. Yeah, it's been great. Um, I think 2195 01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:40,760 Speaker 1: we raised over a little over two grands or something 2196 01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:46,760 Speaker 1: like that. UM, that we were right, yeah, not not dollars. Yeah, 2197 01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:50,160 Speaker 1: and that we've distributed between I think six to eight 2198 01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:55,000 Speaker 1: organizations end of giving them obviously grants to help help 2199 01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:57,600 Speaker 1: be the lifeblood of their their projects or maybe some 2200 01:45:57,680 --> 01:45:59,680 Speaker 1: future projects that they would like to implement in their 2201 01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:03,240 Speaker 1: community centers or programs. UM. I went over to the 2202 01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,920 Speaker 1: Bell Center. UM. I don't think it's no surprise that's 2203 01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:08,360 Speaker 1: where I have the best connection. I've really partnered with 2204 01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:11,720 Speaker 1: Miss Lucy over there in her mission, and it was 2205 01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:14,200 Speaker 1: a great time. Not only did we donate the money, 2206 01:46:14,240 --> 01:46:15,720 Speaker 1: but I think the more important part is you get 2207 01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:18,000 Speaker 1: to go and hang out with the kids, interact with them. 2208 01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:23,080 Speaker 1: It was me, Dion Lacy, um who else was with us, 2209 01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:27,439 Speaker 1: Tyler Crawford and uh one Ryan Lewis, And so we 2210 01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:29,479 Speaker 1: got to play some games with them, you know, some 2211 01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:33,200 Speaker 1: some health aspects, you know, do some drills, some ladder drills. 2212 01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:35,640 Speaker 1: And then also did like a stem program where we 2213 01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:37,479 Speaker 1: had these like little robots and it was like the 2214 01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:39,560 Speaker 1: beginning of coding. So you do a black line, a 2215 01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:42,800 Speaker 1: green line, red line, and a blue line, and you 2216 01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:45,120 Speaker 1: could do them in different orders. And it would make 2217 01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:49,840 Speaker 1: the robot um do spinning circles or turn left or 2218 01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:52,680 Speaker 1: come back. Um. So just the beginnings of coding and 2219 01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:54,800 Speaker 1: how that works. So really starting trying to engage him 2220 01:46:54,800 --> 01:46:57,599 Speaker 1: in a fun way with stim We had kem Phillips 2221 01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:00,320 Speaker 1: on the show yesterday and he can't remember where you went, 2222 01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:02,960 Speaker 1: but he yeah, he kind of crossed pass with uh, 2223 01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:05,479 Speaker 1: just a seven year old kid named Mica, and he 2224 01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:09,160 Speaker 1: said he was totally like, uh, intrigued by him because 2225 01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:10,679 Speaker 1: the kids like, yeah, I'm going to be an architect 2226 01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:14,040 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna redesign the Bill's football stadium something. So 2227 01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:15,840 Speaker 1: he was just kind of, you know, just seeing a 2228 01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:17,880 Speaker 1: Bill's player there, I think kind of inspired him to 2229 01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:20,800 Speaker 1: kind of blurt that out right to Camm's like, holy cow. 2230 01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:23,120 Speaker 1: So he was really kind of impressed with h with 2231 01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:24,880 Speaker 1: some of the young kids that they ran into where 2232 01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:27,120 Speaker 1: they were the other day. So it was it was good. 2233 01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:28,800 Speaker 1: It was good, and you could tell it was good, 2234 01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:31,280 Speaker 1: healthy interaction for both sides. Yeah, it's great. I mean, 2235 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:33,599 Speaker 1: and our guys love to serve and it's always good 2236 01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:35,360 Speaker 1: to go out in the community and um, because this 2237 01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:38,960 Speaker 1: community is so Brasilian has great talent and they're still 2238 01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:42,720 Speaker 1: there some awesome kid that's probably him right there, right no, right, yeah, 2239 01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:45,519 Speaker 1: So it's the coolest thing to be able to just 2240 01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:48,240 Speaker 1: impact your lives, speak to them, encourage them. Um, I 2241 01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:49,720 Speaker 1: know means a lot in the world as well. It 2242 01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:52,200 Speaker 1: struck me to under all six of the locations we're 2243 01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:55,080 Speaker 1: dealing with young people, children, right right, that's a focus 2244 01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:58,960 Speaker 1: of inspire changing. Yeah. Well, it's really the focus of 2245 01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:01,320 Speaker 1: the guys on our team, and we kind of identified 2246 01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:04,760 Speaker 1: organizations that are close, um and near and dear to 2247 01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:07,920 Speaker 1: each guy's heart. That's kind of on that committee, um, 2248 01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:11,120 Speaker 1: which will maybe change, you know, once I'm gone and 2249 01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:13,040 Speaker 1: some other guys come on to that committee and then 2250 01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,800 Speaker 1: they may redirect it to something that maybe impacted their 2251 01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:18,280 Speaker 1: lives that's here in Buffalo that they can pour into. 2252 01:48:18,479 --> 01:48:22,680 Speaker 1: So it's really not so much the organizations themselves. It's 2253 01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:26,840 Speaker 1: more about the spirit of serving our community in whatever 2254 01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:30,200 Speaker 1: capacity that may look like based on how you grew up, 2255 01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:32,639 Speaker 1: in the passions that you've developed over your lifetime. What's 2256 01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:35,000 Speaker 1: it like? One more question about this and what was 2257 01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:37,679 Speaker 1: it like the other day when four or five Bills 2258 01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:40,080 Speaker 1: players walk in with their jerseys on in front of 2259 01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:43,920 Speaker 1: all those kids. It's like a hush ships everybody go whoa, yeah, well, 2260 01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:45,800 Speaker 1: I think I think my kids over the bill sent 2261 01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:48,160 Speaker 1: a little spoil because I'm over. Yeah. They know, they 2262 01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:51,479 Speaker 1: know me, so they they have to see Tyler. But 2263 01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:53,840 Speaker 1: it's it's different. It's more like family. No EYESO, what's 2264 01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:56,519 Speaker 1: going on? Or mister Lorenzo, how are you doing? Good 2265 01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:57,800 Speaker 1: to see you again, you know. And I know a 2266 01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:02,160 Speaker 1: lot of the volunteers and teachers, but you know, they're 2267 01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:04,320 Speaker 1: always excited. It's just it's just a little different when 2268 01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:06,400 Speaker 1: I walk in because it's more personal now at this 2269 01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:08,719 Speaker 1: point more. I got one more question about this program 2270 01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:10,439 Speaker 1: and just in general. And you've been in the league 2271 01:49:10,479 --> 01:49:13,360 Speaker 1: with thirteen years now, this will be my fifteenth, fifteenth year. 2272 01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:17,439 Speaker 1: How has engagement with the community changed over those fifteen years. 2273 01:49:17,720 --> 01:49:19,240 Speaker 1: We hear a lot about it, but you never know 2274 01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:22,040 Speaker 1: if that's you know, just being promoted more. But it 2275 01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:24,719 Speaker 1: seems like the engagement is pretty strong right now between 2276 01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:27,720 Speaker 1: players and their community. I think it's always been that way. 2277 01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:29,679 Speaker 1: I mean every team I've ever been on, we served 2278 01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:31,880 Speaker 1: the community. The only time I really don't remember as 2279 01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:34,519 Speaker 1: my rookie year and again because my eyes was wide open. 2280 01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:36,400 Speaker 1: It was so much going on, and I didn't really 2281 01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:39,479 Speaker 1: engage in Carolina. But being ever since I got to 2282 01:49:39,600 --> 01:49:42,280 Speaker 1: Washington and since now guys have served and I know 2283 01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:45,640 Speaker 1: that's always gone on, it's probably a little bit of 2284 01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:49,360 Speaker 1: more exposure. Exposure now just because of the climate of 2285 01:49:49,439 --> 01:49:52,000 Speaker 1: our culture would happen a couple of years ago doing 2286 01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:54,160 Speaker 1: a national anthem. So I think the NFL is trying 2287 01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:56,280 Speaker 1: to put more of an emphasis of showing it, and 2288 01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:58,439 Speaker 1: the teams are as well. But the work has been 2289 01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:01,600 Speaker 1: going on for years, and regardless of the exposure that 2290 01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:05,040 Speaker 1: we hopefully continue to get, I think guys and organizations 2291 01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:08,080 Speaker 1: will still pour into their communities because it's important and 2292 01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:12,320 Speaker 1: we want to do record breakers, all right. So we've 2293 01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:15,320 Speaker 1: kind of put together a couple of things, some projections 2294 01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:17,400 Speaker 1: as to maybe how the season might unfold for some 2295 01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:20,760 Speaker 1: individual guys. We got a new running back here, who 2296 01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:23,200 Speaker 1: you're probably very happy to know is older than you. Yes, 2297 01:50:23,640 --> 01:50:27,080 Speaker 1: two weeks exactly. We've already had to discuss Oh yeah, 2298 01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:31,880 Speaker 1: well I don't think he believed it. So he actually 2299 01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:34,200 Speaker 1: came up to me like, when's your birthday again? And 2300 01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:36,200 Speaker 1: so you know, I told him, oh, you got me 2301 01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:38,840 Speaker 1: by two weeks. Nice, all right, Well, here's the chance 2302 01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:43,240 Speaker 1: to respond in kind, so he will. Frank Gore passed 2303 01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:46,639 Speaker 1: Barry Sanders for third all time in career rushing yards. 2304 01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:49,320 Speaker 1: He needs five hundred and twenty two this season to 2305 01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:51,439 Speaker 1: pass him. What do you think. I can see how 2306 01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:53,160 Speaker 1: many yards did he have last year because he was 2307 01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, du I want to say he was right 2308 01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:58,160 Speaker 1: around five hundred. I want to see he'll he'll get that. 2309 01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:01,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think with him and Shay and just 2310 01:51:01,280 --> 01:51:03,960 Speaker 1: however it works out. You know, it's always hard, you know, 2311 01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:07,519 Speaker 1: if he's not the primary back. But I see us 2312 01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:10,200 Speaker 1: running the ball way better this year, right. Well, obviously 2313 01:51:10,240 --> 01:51:12,800 Speaker 1: the edition of what we brought in an offensive line wise, 2314 01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:16,280 Speaker 1: I think um day Wi will also make an emphasis 2315 01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:17,519 Speaker 1: on that because you have to you have to be 2316 01:51:17,640 --> 01:51:19,120 Speaker 1: nasty up front to be able to run the ball, 2317 01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:21,479 Speaker 1: as we saw what the Patriots did with Tom Brady 2318 01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:25,080 Speaker 1: and to make Josh better. So I see him getting 2319 01:51:25,080 --> 01:51:26,840 Speaker 1: it breaking at this year seven hundred and twenty two 2320 01:51:26,920 --> 01:51:29,400 Speaker 1: last year, yea average four point six car. The dude 2321 01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:31,320 Speaker 1: is nice now, I mean I don't know. I didn't 2322 01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:34,400 Speaker 1: like playing against him because he's downhill low pad it's 2323 01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:37,840 Speaker 1: hard to tackling. Um very intelligent. I mean, he's a 2324 01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:40,400 Speaker 1: good back. He's built like a block, like he's very square, 2325 01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:43,120 Speaker 1: and oh yeah, it's hard to tackle him. And when 2326 01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:45,720 Speaker 1: he do tackle him, he's falling forward. So I'm glad 2327 01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:47,880 Speaker 1: he's on our team. This ship. We need a prediction 2328 01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:50,720 Speaker 1: from me on this Lorenzo Drew Brees Saints. Will he 2329 01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:54,599 Speaker 1: go pass Peyton Manning in career passing touchdowns? H Breeze 2330 01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:57,720 Speaker 1: currently with five hundred twenty he needs twenty to pass. Uh, 2331 01:51:57,960 --> 01:52:01,760 Speaker 1: that's easy, easy eased. Yeah, that's not even that's that's easy. 2332 01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:04,560 Speaker 1: It's a no brainer. He does that probably. Yeah, like 2333 01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:07,920 Speaker 1: week ten. Yeah, Bree's get enough credit. You played against 2334 01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:11,280 Speaker 1: him over the years. I think I think he gets 2335 01:52:11,400 --> 01:52:13,280 Speaker 1: enough credit. I mean, I think guys around the league 2336 01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:16,120 Speaker 1: respect him. I mean, I mean, he only has one championship, 2337 01:52:16,200 --> 01:52:19,479 Speaker 1: so he's overshadowed because he's in Tom Brady's error. But 2338 01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:23,840 Speaker 1: guys and people around him respect him immenseally. I mean 2339 01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:27,840 Speaker 1: there's no um, no, no, no denying it at all. 2340 01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:29,560 Speaker 1: He's one of the greats that we've had. And you know, 2341 01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:31,479 Speaker 1: the time I've been in the league and even in 2342 01:52:31,520 --> 01:52:33,960 Speaker 1: the history of the league. All right, Well, speaking of Brady, 2343 01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:37,040 Speaker 1: he has a chance to pass Paidon Manning for career 2344 01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:41,000 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. Brady has five hundred and seventeen and he 2345 01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:43,640 Speaker 1: needs another twenty three to pass man He's going to 2346 01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:47,360 Speaker 1: do that. Okay, another one that's happening week ten or something, 2347 01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:49,840 Speaker 1: or hopefully we can delay that a little bit. We 2348 01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:51,400 Speaker 1: can kick that out a little first. I think we 2349 01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:53,280 Speaker 1: play him early, so hopefully we don't give up too 2350 01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:55,760 Speaker 1: many or any at all, and that goes out to 2351 01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:59,120 Speaker 1: like maybe week fourteen or something. Yeah, I don't know, 2352 01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:03,519 Speaker 1: but no cronch so I mean that could probably hurt 2353 01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:05,920 Speaker 1: the production there a little bit. You think they'll find somebody. 2354 01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean, they just they're resilient and that's what they do. 2355 01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:10,439 Speaker 1: I mean that doesn't mean that we can't compete with them, 2356 01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:13,480 Speaker 1: but they'll find just the way they work their organization, 2357 01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:16,799 Speaker 1: it's not so much about the guys about their culture 2358 01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:19,000 Speaker 1: and system. You know that we mentioned culture, that they'll 2359 01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:21,439 Speaker 1: find somebody identify them and they'll step up and play well. 2360 01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:25,639 Speaker 1: I think another production from another quarterback question, Patrick Mahomes. 2361 01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:29,920 Speaker 1: Will he break Peyton Manning's single season record of fifty 2362 01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:33,680 Speaker 1: five passing touchdowns Last year, Mahomes had fifty. That was 2363 01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:37,080 Speaker 1: a year to do it last year? Why you high fi? 2364 01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:40,880 Speaker 1: I mean fifty touchdowns? He did it, he did it right. 2365 01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:43,400 Speaker 1: How many times did Peyton throw fifty five? Probably once 2366 01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:49,840 Speaker 1: exactly fifty? I think Brady had fifty once, right, that's yeah. 2367 01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:53,280 Speaker 1: So how many times did did uh? Did Peyton or 2368 01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:55,800 Speaker 1: Brady go over fifty? I want to say Peyton did 2369 01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:58,000 Speaker 1: it once or twice. I want to say Manning did 2370 01:53:58,000 --> 01:53:59,800 Speaker 1: it twice. I don't see those last couple of years 2371 01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:01,760 Speaker 1: him doing I don't know. We'll see what Tyreek Hill, 2372 01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:03,760 Speaker 1: what happens with him if he's on the roster, I mean, 2373 01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:08,080 Speaker 1: because they were so explosive with him as well. So, um, 2374 01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:10,720 Speaker 1: you know, I don't see him doing it again. It's 2375 01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:12,320 Speaker 1: it's hard, it's hard to put those type of numbers. 2376 01:54:12,320 --> 01:54:14,000 Speaker 1: He may have a good a good season, you know, 2377 01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:18,320 Speaker 1: forty touchdowns is legit year forty five touchdowns, but fifty 2378 01:54:18,400 --> 01:54:22,880 Speaker 1: five A lot of things, a lot of things have 2379 01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:25,479 Speaker 1: to go right for him. Um. Obviously this is going 2380 01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:27,519 Speaker 1: to be the second year where teams actually see him 2381 01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:30,519 Speaker 1: now too. UM. So it's going to be interesting to 2382 01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:32,440 Speaker 1: see how teams attacking this year after they have a 2383 01:54:32,480 --> 01:54:34,840 Speaker 1: whole year to sit down and kind of dissect the 2384 01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:40,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs peaked last year. No, no peaking. Fifty fifty touchdowns 2385 01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:43,280 Speaker 1: is not peaking. That's that's like on some old other 2386 01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:47,320 Speaker 1: stuff that's elite, out of this world type stuff. Puts 2387 01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:50,440 Speaker 1: up forty five touchdowns again, that's still playing at an 2388 01:54:50,520 --> 01:54:53,160 Speaker 1: elite level. It's just maybe they're running them in now 2389 01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:55,120 Speaker 1: instead of them passing them in. I mean, that's a 2390 01:54:55,200 --> 01:54:58,360 Speaker 1: big difference. Man, he's only got one year of Yeah, 2391 01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:02,400 Speaker 1: I mean that's nine. That's that's hard. Every A lot 2392 01:55:02,480 --> 01:55:04,720 Speaker 1: of things have to go right for you to put 2393 01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:07,240 Speaker 1: up fifty five touchdown I only got one year with 2394 01:55:07,600 --> 01:55:10,160 Speaker 1: forty plus. That's why I said last year was the 2395 01:55:10,240 --> 01:55:12,000 Speaker 1: year for him to do it. While it was hot rolling. 2396 01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:13,640 Speaker 1: They should have found a couple of ways, and they 2397 01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:15,240 Speaker 1: probably didn't play him that towards the end of the 2398 01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:17,880 Speaker 1: season unless they really needed to, and that was the 2399 01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:21,160 Speaker 1: year to do it. Okay, all right, So okay, let's 2400 01:55:21,200 --> 01:55:24,680 Speaker 1: go to defense. Von Miller breaks the single season sack record. 2401 01:55:28,280 --> 01:55:31,200 Speaker 1: It's Bradley Chubb. It's a good group. That's a good 2402 01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:34,480 Speaker 1: two good tandem there. He's in his second year, he 2403 01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:36,320 Speaker 1: was a fourth pick in the draft. I mean that 2404 01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:38,440 Speaker 1: fourth pick of the draft doesn't mean too much to me. 2405 01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:43,760 Speaker 1: I wonder why. I mean, I'm just it's not a 2406 01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:46,040 Speaker 1: shot on him. It's just where your draft. It doesn't 2407 01:55:46,040 --> 01:55:51,400 Speaker 1: matter what you're gonna do necessarily, Um, I say no, 2408 01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:55,400 Speaker 1: just because people chip him and know where he's at. 2409 01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:59,400 Speaker 1: He's the focal point. Yeah, a lot of things have 2410 01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:00,880 Speaker 1: to go right for him as well. So what's the 2411 01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:04,080 Speaker 1: closest he's been. Has he had been at twenty? No, 2412 01:56:05,280 --> 01:56:08,600 Speaker 1: it's never hit twenty. I'm almost certain of that. I'm 2413 01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:11,200 Speaker 1: almost certain of that. Yeah, I mean, he's probably gonna 2414 01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:14,320 Speaker 1: have seventeen eighteen, but I don't. I don't see him 2415 01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:18,200 Speaker 1: doing twenty two and a half. That. I mean, that's ridiculous. 2416 01:56:18,240 --> 01:56:20,040 Speaker 1: And you have to The thing is what people on't know. 2417 01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:22,360 Speaker 1: You have to you every time you get to the quarterback, 2418 01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:24,200 Speaker 1: you almost have to sack him because a lot of 2419 01:56:24,240 --> 01:56:26,600 Speaker 1: times you're sacking a guy and he just dumps it 2420 01:56:26,640 --> 01:56:28,480 Speaker 1: out to a running back right, or he just kind 2421 01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:30,360 Speaker 1: of dirts it at you know, the check down. You 2422 01:56:30,480 --> 01:56:33,720 Speaker 1: guys experienced that a lot. Jerry Jerry does a lot 2423 01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:36,280 Speaker 1: like Jerry should be easily a double digit sack guy. 2424 01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:38,720 Speaker 1: But a lot of times you're looking at it, he's 2425 01:56:38,760 --> 01:56:41,600 Speaker 1: either just missing the strip sack as he turns the corner, 2426 01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:44,200 Speaker 1: or the quarterback is throwing it throwing it out. It's 2427 01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:46,560 Speaker 1: just it's hard. So his second year he had eighteen 2428 01:56:46,600 --> 01:56:48,560 Speaker 1: and a half, Right, he had fourteen and a half. 2429 01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:51,960 Speaker 1: Last year he's got only two seasons or three seasons 2430 01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:53,840 Speaker 1: or fourteen or more. He has one thirteen and a 2431 01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:55,760 Speaker 1: half season also, But yeah, I mean it's just it's 2432 01:56:56,480 --> 01:56:59,800 Speaker 1: because he Yeah, he's there, they're chipping him, they're watching them. 2433 01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:03,400 Speaker 1: I mean the way they especially with the RPO styled 2434 01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:06,080 Speaker 1: offensive ball, is coming out quicker. It's it's different when 2435 01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:10,280 Speaker 1: straighthand did the people were taking eight nine step drops. 2436 01:57:11,680 --> 01:57:14,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's quick boom. Even when he's coming free, 2437 01:57:14,760 --> 01:57:16,360 Speaker 1: they're reading off of him and getting the ball out 2438 01:57:16,360 --> 01:57:18,440 Speaker 1: of the hands. The game is played so differently now 2439 01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:21,760 Speaker 1: that he had he could do it if he every 2440 01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:24,040 Speaker 1: time he gets to the quarterback he sacks him. Why 2441 01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:26,040 Speaker 1: does that happen to Jerry? Why does it seem like 2442 01:57:26,120 --> 01:57:29,400 Speaker 1: that happens to Jerry so much? Yeah, I don't know. 2443 01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:32,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's he's trying to make a big play and 2444 01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:34,600 Speaker 1: he's going for the strip sack and he goes over 2445 01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:36,800 Speaker 1: the top and he may just get one arm and 2446 01:57:36,840 --> 01:57:38,840 Speaker 1: it gives the quarterback opportunity to maybe throw a check 2447 01:57:38,920 --> 01:57:42,960 Speaker 1: down or dirt it. Um. I mean, I just really 2448 01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:46,400 Speaker 1: just it's hard sometimes, you know, you see how close 2449 01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:50,400 Speaker 1: gets Yeah. So and then last year I think he 2450 01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:53,160 Speaker 1: sacked the guy and he thought he was down because 2451 01:57:53,200 --> 01:57:55,320 Speaker 1: he held him for a second, yeah, and then let 2452 01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:57,400 Speaker 1: him go, and then the ref didn't blow it where 2453 01:57:57,440 --> 01:57:59,880 Speaker 1: early in the season they blowing it quick. So it's 2454 01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:01,880 Speaker 1: little things like that that add up and then you 2455 01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:04,480 Speaker 1: look up you're like, man, I could have had twelve 2456 01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:08,520 Speaker 1: fourteen sacks easy if I just just get the guy 2457 01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:10,880 Speaker 1: on the ground. And Jerry is great because he understands that. 2458 01:58:10,960 --> 01:58:13,960 Speaker 1: And that's why I think this year he's going to 2459 01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:15,520 Speaker 1: surprise a lot of folks because if you look at 2460 01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:19,480 Speaker 1: him statistically, I mean, he's high end pressures, highend quarterback hits, 2461 01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:22,320 Speaker 1: think curries, all that stuff that you you look at 2462 01:58:22,360 --> 01:58:25,320 Speaker 1: that affects the quarterback. He's probably top three guys in 2463 01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:28,040 Speaker 1: the league. I know Pro Football Focus and not all 2464 01:58:28,080 --> 01:58:32,120 Speaker 1: their numbers read true, but for a pressure rate, Jerry 2465 01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:35,600 Speaker 1: was number one at nineteen point seven percent, right, I 2466 01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:37,600 Speaker 1: mean that's a high pressure rate. I mean almost one 2467 01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:39,600 Speaker 1: every five brushes. That's who he does. And when you 2468 01:58:39,680 --> 01:58:41,120 Speaker 1: turn on this film and that's what you see. So 2469 01:58:41,240 --> 01:58:42,760 Speaker 1: I know he wants to be able to convert those 2470 01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:44,920 Speaker 1: and so I think this year, I think, just going 2471 01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:47,280 Speaker 1: in from a mindset, I think he'll get guys. Damn. 2472 01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:49,440 Speaker 1: But you know, we focus so much on getting the 2473 01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:52,560 Speaker 1: ball out that it almost is a detriment sometimes because 2474 01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:53,960 Speaker 1: you can go for the ball and if you're playing 2475 01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:55,840 Speaker 1: against some of these guys are real athletic, and you 2476 01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:59,000 Speaker 1: miss it or they see it late, they can spin 2477 01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:01,480 Speaker 1: and organ the ball away real quick, even if you 2478 01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:04,960 Speaker 1: had maybe one leg one more for you. Running backs 2479 01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:07,920 Speaker 1: Ladini and Thomlin has the record with twenty eight rushing 2480 01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:10,560 Speaker 1: touchdowns in one season. Which running back do you think 2481 01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:14,200 Speaker 1: has the best chance to challenge zero? Zero? The way 2482 01:59:14,240 --> 01:59:17,600 Speaker 1: the game is played passing league. Then it's also most 2483 01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:21,880 Speaker 1: teams are tandem tandem backs. There's no back that's going 2484 01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:24,800 Speaker 1: to get twenty eight touches rushing touchdown. The last two 2485 01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:28,040 Speaker 1: years it was Girl seventeen and then thirteen. The year 2486 01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:31,280 Speaker 1: before an explosive years and Garrett Blunt in a high 2487 01:59:31,320 --> 01:59:33,120 Speaker 1: flying offense in New England, got a lot of goal 2488 01:59:33,200 --> 01:59:37,560 Speaker 1: line carries and had eighteen in twenty sixteen, but zero. Yeah, 2489 01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:40,839 Speaker 1: nobody's doing one call for you here, Lorenzo Angelo from Rochester. 2490 01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:45,880 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Angelo, you're on the year. Hey, what's going on? Guys? Right? 2491 01:59:46,080 --> 01:59:50,280 Speaker 1: See what I say? Who has the best upside chance 2492 01:59:50,360 --> 01:59:54,120 Speaker 1: potential and not because he's on the show? Is my man? 2493 01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:59,440 Speaker 1: Lorenzo Ala, Dan Bobby Johnson. Yeah, I like that Bills 2494 01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:02,080 Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? Yeah, why bet against me? Every year 2495 02:00:02,080 --> 02:00:05,040 Speaker 1: I've gotten better, So yeah, I feel that Angelo. Looking 2496 02:00:05,120 --> 02:00:09,480 Speaker 1: at the trends, just keep trending on up. You have upside, Yeah, 2497 02:00:09,520 --> 02:00:12,120 Speaker 1: I have great upside, great upside. Yeah. Well, I know 2498 02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:14,680 Speaker 1: you were really I know you were. I know you 2499 02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:17,960 Speaker 1: were really happy last year when you got more opportunities 2500 02:00:18,440 --> 02:00:21,000 Speaker 1: up on the ball, like you and coach Frasier kind 2501 02:00:21,040 --> 02:00:23,840 Speaker 1: of talked in the offseason about how they could better 2502 02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:26,160 Speaker 1: utilize your talents, and you weren't off the ball nearly 2503 02:00:26,200 --> 02:00:27,840 Speaker 1: as much as you were that first year, right, So 2504 02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:32,080 Speaker 1: do you I'm pet there. I mean, obviously, as long 2505 02:00:32,160 --> 02:00:34,800 Speaker 1: as we stay healthy, you know, with our starters I 2506 02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:36,960 Speaker 1: mean because obviously at the end of the season the 2507 02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:39,200 Speaker 1: last two games we lost Matt and I had to 2508 02:00:39,240 --> 02:00:41,320 Speaker 1: play will linebacker, which which I like to because I'm 2509 02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:43,520 Speaker 1: still efficient there and I've and I've grown in that 2510 02:00:43,600 --> 02:00:46,320 Speaker 1: area since having to play it um, but I'm I'm 2511 02:00:46,400 --> 02:00:48,400 Speaker 1: more impactful. I think we all know that if I'm 2512 02:00:48,480 --> 02:00:51,080 Speaker 1: playing an end or tackle, rushing to pass or getting 2513 02:00:51,120 --> 02:00:54,600 Speaker 1: after people, especially on third downs, first second down, I'm 2514 02:00:54,600 --> 02:00:56,840 Speaker 1: always off the ball. Yeah, I just I remember some 2515 02:00:56,960 --> 02:00:58,680 Speaker 1: of those looks you guys were throwing at the Texans 2516 02:00:58,720 --> 02:01:01,040 Speaker 1: in that week six games, and I think, yeah, yeah, 2517 02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Jack inside, you were inside and it was two ends 2518 02:01:03,960 --> 02:01:06,440 Speaker 1: and they were like But at the same time, I 2519 02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:09,560 Speaker 1: think we noticed when I'm playing will um, when I'm 2520 02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:12,360 Speaker 1: playing that backer. We also designed some players where is 2521 02:01:12,400 --> 02:01:14,080 Speaker 1: he coming? Is he dropping? And we were able to 2522 02:01:14,120 --> 02:01:17,720 Speaker 1: confuse some some teams and get Um Tremaine running free 2523 02:01:17,760 --> 02:01:20,480 Speaker 1: on a couple of quarterbacks. So we have a lot 2524 02:01:20,520 --> 02:01:22,840 Speaker 1: of different things because we have some versatile players on 2525 02:01:22,920 --> 02:01:25,440 Speaker 1: our defense where we can kind of move around and 2526 02:01:25,520 --> 02:01:28,120 Speaker 1: have guys play linebacker, d tackle, d N and it's 2527 02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:30,240 Speaker 1: not just me where we can give some some I 2528 02:01:30,280 --> 02:01:33,000 Speaker 1: think some opposing offenses is at least a little bit 2529 02:01:33,040 --> 02:01:35,879 Speaker 1: of a challenge as far as the pre snap look. Lorenzo, 2530 02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:37,400 Speaker 1: thanks for this. Good to talk to you again. Yeah, 2531 02:01:37,400 --> 02:01:40,560 Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys. Yeah, going through the lowdown with us. 2532 02:01:40,640 --> 02:01:43,040 Speaker 1: Chris Na coming back One Deal's Life from One Devil's 2533 02:01:43,080 --> 02:01:54,800 Speaker 1: Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back One Ofdal's Life 2534 02:01:54,800 --> 02:01:57,640 Speaker 1: from One Devils Drive. John Murphy with Chris Brown. Uh, 2535 02:01:57,720 --> 02:01:59,440 Speaker 1: let's squeeze in a phone call here, Chris before we 2536 02:01:59,480 --> 02:02:01,560 Speaker 1: get the true are all right with them? I'm faith 2537 02:02:01,600 --> 02:02:05,240 Speaker 1: you're running the show, not me, That's right. Stephen Albany, Hello, Steve, welcome, 2538 02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:07,360 Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. Hi Steve, Hey, Chris 2539 02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:11,040 Speaker 1: and John? How are you good? Good? Good? Um? Hey, 2540 02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:12,720 Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk to you guys about just 2541 02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:16,000 Speaker 1: the heightened level of optimism I feel Builds fans have 2542 02:02:16,200 --> 02:02:19,240 Speaker 1: coming into the twenty nineteen season. I know normally there's 2543 02:02:19,240 --> 02:02:23,200 Speaker 1: probably like a heightened level, you know, after the draft 2544 02:02:23,320 --> 02:02:25,720 Speaker 1: is over with or pretty much after free agency is 2545 02:02:25,760 --> 02:02:28,560 Speaker 1: over with, but it just seems to be that much 2546 02:02:28,640 --> 02:02:31,800 Speaker 1: more ramped up just from talking to Bills fans to 2547 02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:34,680 Speaker 1: see him, what's on social media, and I think some 2548 02:02:34,920 --> 02:02:37,360 Speaker 1: has to do with the draft and free agency and 2549 02:02:37,760 --> 02:02:40,760 Speaker 1: even Josh Allen's second year having that so, you know, 2550 02:02:40,880 --> 02:02:44,520 Speaker 1: quote unquote franchise quarterback for the first time in quite 2551 02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:48,160 Speaker 1: a long time since Jim Kelly, or that that perception 2552 02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:50,560 Speaker 1: of that. But I think a lot has to do 2553 02:02:50,680 --> 02:02:53,280 Speaker 1: with the actual regime and the trust of the regime 2554 02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:56,640 Speaker 1: that the Bills fans have for Sean mc dermott and 2555 02:02:56,800 --> 02:02:59,880 Speaker 1: and Dean um And I just wanted to ask you 2556 02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:01,760 Speaker 1: guys a question because you guys have been around One 2557 02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:04,560 Speaker 1: Bill's Drive for so long. Has there been a felt 2558 02:03:04,800 --> 02:03:08,720 Speaker 1: different at One Bill's Drive since the Tom Donahoe days, 2559 02:03:08,920 --> 02:03:11,360 Speaker 1: or the Buddy Knicks days, or the Doug Whaley days. 2560 02:03:11,720 --> 02:03:15,160 Speaker 1: I mean, is there an environmental type of changed feeling 2561 02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:18,400 Speaker 1: and vibe going into year three with this regime? And 2562 02:03:18,560 --> 02:03:21,400 Speaker 1: does that feed into the optimism that the Bills Stands 2563 02:03:21,440 --> 02:03:25,000 Speaker 1: have because of I think how good they've been with 2564 02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:28,560 Speaker 1: communication back to the Bills fans and it just seems 2565 02:03:28,600 --> 02:03:31,040 Speaker 1: like there's a level of transparency there that the Bill 2566 02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:33,840 Speaker 1: Stands feel comfortable with. Well, it's an interesting question, Steve. 2567 02:03:34,960 --> 02:03:37,880 Speaker 1: I'll go first briefly, I would say yes, and rather 2568 02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:39,840 Speaker 1: than going back to the Buddy Knicks era or the 2569 02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:42,480 Speaker 1: Tom Donaho era. It's quite frankly, it's hard for me 2570 02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:45,000 Speaker 1: to remember what the atmosphere was like back then. I 2571 02:03:45,080 --> 02:03:46,920 Speaker 1: wasn't a full time employee to hear back then, but 2572 02:03:47,360 --> 02:03:50,560 Speaker 1: I know from the previous regime. Certainly it's a different vibe, Chris, 2573 02:03:50,640 --> 02:03:53,040 Speaker 1: I would say, And it's much more business like and 2574 02:03:53,760 --> 02:03:56,920 Speaker 1: much more task oriented, you know what I mean. They 2575 02:03:56,960 --> 02:04:00,280 Speaker 1: have the football department as is kind of lock into 2576 02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:02,360 Speaker 1: what they have to do, and they do it and 2577 02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:05,760 Speaker 1: not much gets in their way. Yeah, I would say 2578 02:04:06,400 --> 02:04:10,200 Speaker 1: the reason that maybe we saw that this was going 2579 02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:14,400 Speaker 1: to be a good hierarchy from the beginning is because 2580 02:04:14,520 --> 02:04:17,880 Speaker 1: we were on the inside seeing it and there was 2581 02:04:17,920 --> 02:04:20,920 Speaker 1: a clear vision, a clear plan, and as much as 2582 02:04:20,960 --> 02:04:26,919 Speaker 1: people made poked fun at Coach McDermott and respect the process, 2583 02:04:28,600 --> 02:04:34,720 Speaker 1: I think we saw what the vision was and then 2584 02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:40,400 Speaker 1: to see them adhere to that with no exceptions said 2585 02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:43,600 Speaker 1: to me right away, this group knows what they're doing. 2586 02:04:44,800 --> 02:04:48,600 Speaker 1: They're committed to executing it in the fashion that they 2587 02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:50,760 Speaker 1: believe is best for the long term success of the 2588 02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:54,280 Speaker 1: football team. And that is what stood in stark contrast 2589 02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:57,320 Speaker 1: to previous regimes. As I saw them, some of which 2590 02:04:57,400 --> 02:05:01,200 Speaker 1: were scattershot, some of which were gap in nature in 2591 02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:07,560 Speaker 1: solving problems. And this was a group from the beginning 2592 02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:11,840 Speaker 1: that knew it wasn't going to happen overnight, but they 2593 02:05:11,920 --> 02:05:14,840 Speaker 1: were committed to the plan they had laid out, and 2594 02:05:14,960 --> 02:05:17,200 Speaker 1: they weren't. And the other thing they weren't going to 2595 02:05:17,240 --> 02:05:20,960 Speaker 1: do was middle it. And there were too many previous 2596 02:05:21,040 --> 02:05:24,240 Speaker 1: regimes that middled it. And I mean, I'll say that 2597 02:05:24,320 --> 02:05:30,080 Speaker 1: flat out. They spoke a good game about going for championships, 2598 02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:33,680 Speaker 1: being a contender, but there were certain parts of getting 2599 02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:37,720 Speaker 1: there that they either a middled it or b looked 2600 02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:40,200 Speaker 1: for a quick fix, and this was a group that 2601 02:05:40,320 --> 02:05:42,640 Speaker 1: wasn't going to quick fix things. They were going to 2602 02:05:42,720 --> 02:05:45,280 Speaker 1: do it in the vision that they had laid out. 2603 02:05:45,720 --> 02:05:47,560 Speaker 1: Every single step of the way. There were going to 2604 02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:51,160 Speaker 1: be no skipping of steps. And we're seeing the results 2605 02:05:51,200 --> 02:05:53,920 Speaker 1: of that. And I don't think the fan base in 2606 02:05:54,920 --> 02:05:58,920 Speaker 1: the majority sense came around to that until after we 2607 02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:01,880 Speaker 1: got through the early stages of this offseason, or if 2608 02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:03,360 Speaker 1: we were just talking about this earlier in the week, 2609 02:06:03,440 --> 02:06:06,120 Speaker 1: when did the flip happen? Because we still had a 2610 02:06:06,160 --> 02:06:08,840 Speaker 1: lot of doubters last year when this team was not 2611 02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:12,960 Speaker 1: stacking wins, meeting expectations after reaching the playoffs in twenty seventeen. 2612 02:06:13,440 --> 02:06:15,480 Speaker 1: And I think twenty seventeen they just happened to catch 2613 02:06:15,560 --> 02:06:18,400 Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle. It wasn't sustainable, and I think 2614 02:06:18,440 --> 02:06:21,200 Speaker 1: coach McDermot would even admit that. And I think they knew. 2615 02:06:21,640 --> 02:06:24,040 Speaker 1: The people on the inside here knew that twenty eighteen 2616 02:06:24,120 --> 02:06:27,600 Speaker 1: at the potential for taking a step back, and in 2617 02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:30,760 Speaker 1: fact proved to be that. But what we have now 2618 02:06:31,760 --> 02:06:35,640 Speaker 1: is the reward of sticking it out and staying the 2619 02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:38,480 Speaker 1: course in twenty eighteen even when things weren't going the 2620 02:06:38,600 --> 02:06:41,320 Speaker 1: right way in the one lost column. And now you 2621 02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:44,640 Speaker 1: might be able to reap some fruits of that labor 2622 02:06:44,960 --> 02:06:49,320 Speaker 1: and foundation building this year in the form of more victories. Yeah, 2623 02:06:49,440 --> 02:06:52,040 Speaker 1: I agree, but pretty much everything you said, let's get 2624 02:06:52,040 --> 02:06:56,400 Speaker 1: the NFL troop out. It's it's a big question that 2625 02:06:56,480 --> 02:06:59,200 Speaker 1: the caller ads, it's hard to encapsulate. Yeah, and we 2626 02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:01,680 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, kind of didner best responsive here? 2627 02:07:02,120 --> 02:07:04,160 Speaker 1: NFL True or False brought to you by Yancey's fancy 2628 02:07:04,200 --> 02:07:07,280 Speaker 1: New York startisan Cheese from NFL dot com. A list 2629 02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:09,960 Speaker 1: of different topics. One of them. The NFC West is 2630 02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:13,720 Speaker 1: the most exciting division in football. I've thought about it. 2631 02:07:13,800 --> 02:07:15,240 Speaker 1: I was looking for a way to say no, but 2632 02:07:15,400 --> 02:07:17,680 Speaker 1: I gotta say yes. When you think about the Rams, 2633 02:07:17,720 --> 02:07:20,200 Speaker 1: when you think about the Seahawks, we've made some important moves, 2634 02:07:20,240 --> 02:07:22,960 Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers have some moves that they've 2635 02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:25,440 Speaker 1: made and get their quarterback back. So I would say true, 2636 02:07:25,520 --> 02:07:29,720 Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, this is all about exciting quarterbacks. That's 2637 02:07:29,760 --> 02:07:33,440 Speaker 1: where this is primarily rooted. Garoppolo comes back from injury, 2638 02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:36,920 Speaker 1: Jared Goff coming off a Super Bowl appearance, Russell Wilson 2639 02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:41,680 Speaker 1: being Russell Wilson, and then Kyler Murray in Arizona with 2640 02:07:42,080 --> 02:07:44,920 Speaker 1: what is expected to be a wide open offense. So 2641 02:07:45,520 --> 02:07:48,600 Speaker 1: from that standpoint alone, you'd be very hard pressed to 2642 02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:52,440 Speaker 1: find a collection of four quarterbacks in a division that 2643 02:07:52,640 --> 02:07:56,280 Speaker 1: have those kinds of chops coming into twenty nineteen. So 2644 02:07:56,440 --> 02:07:59,080 Speaker 1: I would say true as well. I was trying to 2645 02:07:59,120 --> 02:08:02,120 Speaker 1: find another divisi. Jan Murph me too, you know, and 2646 02:08:02,240 --> 02:08:04,320 Speaker 1: I thought the AFC South at least had a couple 2647 02:08:04,360 --> 02:08:07,240 Speaker 1: of options, you know, with Luck and Watson. You know, 2648 02:08:07,360 --> 02:08:09,880 Speaker 1: from a quarterback perspective, what is Nick Fole's going to 2649 02:08:09,920 --> 02:08:12,080 Speaker 1: do in Jacksonville. I'm not convinced he's gonna do a 2650 02:08:12,120 --> 02:08:14,320 Speaker 1: whole lot, just because of the way Maron runs an offense, 2651 02:08:14,840 --> 02:08:17,640 Speaker 1: which is painfully conservative. And then you have Mariota, who's 2652 02:08:17,640 --> 02:08:19,360 Speaker 1: been kind of a mixed bag the last couple of years. 2653 02:08:19,360 --> 02:08:20,879 Speaker 1: Even though he did get his team to the playoffs 2654 02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:22,840 Speaker 1: last year, that was as closest I could come. So 2655 02:08:22,960 --> 02:08:25,120 Speaker 1: we're saying true on that one. More for true or false. 2656 02:08:25,280 --> 02:08:29,320 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is the most overpaid player in the NFL. 2657 02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:31,760 Speaker 1: There's an interesting story up on USA Today for the 2658 02:08:31,840 --> 02:08:34,560 Speaker 1: win in which they have a metric they put together 2659 02:08:34,760 --> 02:08:39,240 Speaker 1: value over value, what's it called value over market price, 2660 02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:42,920 Speaker 1: And according to that metric, Matthew Stafford is the most 2661 02:08:42,960 --> 02:08:45,680 Speaker 1: overpaid player in the NFL. The twenty nine and a 2662 02:08:45,720 --> 02:08:48,880 Speaker 1: half million dollars cap hit this year. His value over metric, 2663 02:08:48,920 --> 02:08:52,720 Speaker 1: according to USA Today, twelve point seven million dollars most 2664 02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:57,280 Speaker 1: overpaid in the NFL. I haven't had time to think 2665 02:08:57,320 --> 02:08:59,240 Speaker 1: of who it might be, but I don't know if 2666 02:08:59,280 --> 02:09:02,400 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is I think he I think a quarterback. 2667 02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:04,320 Speaker 1: Obviously they're always going to be overpaid, and I think 2668 02:09:04,360 --> 02:09:06,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback who has been there for a while has 2669 02:09:06,400 --> 02:09:09,520 Speaker 1: a certain intangible value that he provides to his team. 2670 02:09:09,560 --> 02:09:11,800 Speaker 1: So I'm going false on this one. Yeah, I'm gonna 2671 02:09:11,840 --> 02:09:14,040 Speaker 1: go false too. I'm trying to think of quick got one. 2672 02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:17,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Eli Manning's overpaid at this time a quarterback. 2673 02:09:17,960 --> 02:09:21,320 Speaker 1: How about Sammy Watkins. Yeah, that was a fat contract 2674 02:09:21,400 --> 02:09:25,040 Speaker 1: he signed last offseason, nineteen million dollars capit. His value 2675 02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:29,200 Speaker 1: over metric value is twelve point seven million. I'm good 2676 02:09:29,240 --> 02:09:31,360 Speaker 1: Watkins is the most overpaid. That's a good one. I 2677 02:09:31,520 --> 02:09:36,200 Speaker 1: like it. Okay, there you go. Yancey's Fancy NFL True 2678 02:09:36,240 --> 02:09:38,120 Speaker 1: or False brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's 2679 02:09:38,160 --> 02:09:40,880 Speaker 1: artist and Cheeze Chris and I coming back one bills 2680 02:09:40,920 --> 02:09:43,280 Speaker 1: Live for a one bills drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio. 2681 02:09:57,400 --> 02:09:59,400 Speaker 1: So what have we learned from today's show? It is 2682 02:09:59,480 --> 02:10:02,120 Speaker 1: presented by Advanced Alarmed, providing Western New York's homes and 2683 02:10:02,280 --> 02:10:05,360 Speaker 1: businesses with the finest and security in a home theater, 2684 02:10:05,440 --> 02:10:07,680 Speaker 1: the preferred Alarman Home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. 2685 02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:09,680 Speaker 1: What do we learned? We had Shan O'Hara on from 2686 02:10:09,720 --> 02:10:12,280 Speaker 1: the NFL Network. He joined us today talking a lot 2687 02:10:12,320 --> 02:10:15,760 Speaker 1: about offensive Lineman. He says Cody Ford, Buffalo's second round pick, 2688 02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:17,680 Speaker 1: was the best Day two pick of the draft a 2689 02:10:17,720 --> 02:10:22,120 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, you know, for Buffalo to get 2690 02:10:22,200 --> 02:10:25,400 Speaker 1: at Oliver where they did in the first round, and 2691 02:10:25,440 --> 02:10:27,680 Speaker 1: then to get Cody Forward in the second round, I 2692 02:10:27,840 --> 02:10:30,840 Speaker 1: just thought it was a great from a value perspective, 2693 02:10:31,280 --> 02:10:36,120 Speaker 1: but also it really aligns with what Brandon being and 2694 02:10:36,240 --> 02:10:39,680 Speaker 1: with what Sean McDermott are trying to build on that offense. 2695 02:10:39,800 --> 02:10:43,680 Speaker 1: They are putting together a totally different culture there upfront, 2696 02:10:43,760 --> 02:10:46,360 Speaker 1: and I think Cody Ford is gonna fit right into that. 2697 02:10:46,480 --> 02:10:48,400 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna bring some of it even as 2698 02:10:48,440 --> 02:10:52,120 Speaker 1: a rookie. And that's finished. Joan O. Harry had a 2699 02:10:52,160 --> 02:10:53,800 Speaker 1: lot of good things to say about the Bills draft 2700 02:10:53,840 --> 02:10:56,440 Speaker 1: and especially about Cody Ford. Also on the show moments ago, 2701 02:10:56,520 --> 02:10:59,640 Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander, Bills linebacker joined us. The Bills have just 2702 02:11:00,040 --> 02:11:04,040 Speaker 1: he did week four of the Veterans Voluntary offseason conditioning program, 2703 02:11:04,120 --> 02:11:06,880 Speaker 1: and Lorenzo had an update for us on the offseason program. 2704 02:11:08,720 --> 02:11:10,920 Speaker 1: Probably the most important thing is is that we have 2705 02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:12,640 Speaker 1: been able to go on the field and we're actually 2706 02:11:13,600 --> 02:11:16,840 Speaker 1: getting a better grasp of the scheme. Whether it's offense, defense, 2707 02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:19,880 Speaker 1: and special teams, is feeling and really getting a certain 2708 02:11:19,920 --> 02:11:21,840 Speaker 1: comfort level. And I was just talking to Sean today, 2709 02:11:21,960 --> 02:11:25,160 Speaker 1: me and Tremaine, just how much more comfortable you feel. 2710 02:11:25,200 --> 02:11:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm in year three, He's obviously going to year two. 2711 02:11:27,480 --> 02:11:30,800 Speaker 1: Being in one scheme, you just start understanding the little 2712 02:11:30,960 --> 02:11:33,800 Speaker 1: nuances that allow you to be one step closer to 2713 02:11:33,920 --> 02:11:37,280 Speaker 1: making big plays. And that's why I'm so excited, especially 2714 02:11:37,320 --> 02:11:39,160 Speaker 1: with Tremaine and his growth, and just be able to 2715 02:11:39,200 --> 02:11:40,640 Speaker 1: get out there for my third year and try to 2716 02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:43,480 Speaker 1: improve even again based on what I did my first 2717 02:11:43,600 --> 02:11:47,480 Speaker 1: second now my third year. In his defense, Lorenzo pretty optimison. 2718 02:11:47,560 --> 02:11:49,560 Speaker 1: Chris I thought it was interesting too. Lorenzo said that 2719 02:11:49,880 --> 02:11:51,920 Speaker 1: he's been asked to talk to the rookie group coming 2720 02:11:51,960 --> 02:11:54,960 Speaker 1: in this weekend on Sunday. I believe a bonafid session. 2721 02:11:55,120 --> 02:11:57,600 Speaker 1: I mean, who else who better than to represent the 2722 02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:00,240 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and what they stand for right now than 2723 02:12:00,320 --> 02:12:04,360 Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander and to effectively communicate the lay of the land, 2724 02:12:05,160 --> 02:12:07,400 Speaker 1: because after that rookie Minicamp, their head's going to be 2725 02:12:07,400 --> 02:12:10,800 Speaker 1: spinning enough. They're gonna know very quickly. In two weeks time, 2726 02:12:10,840 --> 02:12:14,680 Speaker 1: they're going to be back here for OTAs with the veterans, 2727 02:12:14,880 --> 02:12:16,800 Speaker 1: and the speed of play on the field is going 2728 02:12:16,880 --> 02:12:18,920 Speaker 1: to go up a notch and they have to be 2729 02:12:19,200 --> 02:12:23,680 Speaker 1: as prepared as possible for that, and I think hopefully 2730 02:12:23,760 --> 02:12:26,520 Speaker 1: Lorenzo can give them some sense of comfort that you know, 2731 02:12:26,640 --> 02:12:28,720 Speaker 1: they are older and more experienced players here that you 2732 02:12:28,760 --> 02:12:32,080 Speaker 1: should feel comfortable leaning on because that's just how they 2733 02:12:32,120 --> 02:12:34,160 Speaker 1: operate here and that's a healthy thing. And I think 2734 02:12:34,240 --> 02:12:36,240 Speaker 1: that would put or at least give some of those 2735 02:12:36,320 --> 02:12:39,120 Speaker 1: rookie some peace of mind going forward. Who are you 2736 02:12:39,200 --> 02:12:43,080 Speaker 1: most looking forward to scene at that rookie Minicamp session tomorrow? 2737 02:12:44,920 --> 02:12:49,720 Speaker 1: I well, the I really want to see Singletary. He's 2738 02:12:49,760 --> 02:12:52,800 Speaker 1: my favorite guy in the whole draft class. And it's 2739 02:12:52,800 --> 02:12:54,640 Speaker 1: not just because he plays a skill position. I just 2740 02:12:55,360 --> 02:12:57,120 Speaker 1: his game tape is fun to watch. I hope he 2741 02:12:57,200 --> 02:12:59,680 Speaker 1: has similar game tape here in Buffalo, and it just 2742 02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:02,000 Speaker 1: to be interesting to see what his vision looks like. 2743 02:13:02,120 --> 02:13:04,760 Speaker 1: Granted it's not gonna be full speed football, but still 2744 02:13:04,800 --> 02:13:06,760 Speaker 1: in all you can kind of see certain signs like 2745 02:13:06,920 --> 02:13:11,040 Speaker 1: that as to what they can offer. But yeah, he'd 2746 02:13:11,080 --> 02:13:13,040 Speaker 1: probably be my guy. He'd be my guy too, And 2747 02:13:13,760 --> 02:13:15,440 Speaker 1: it's just that you won't. What are you gonna get 2748 02:13:15,440 --> 02:13:17,600 Speaker 1: from watching an offensive lineman tomorrow? Right, There's not a 2749 02:13:17,640 --> 02:13:19,760 Speaker 1: whole lot going on or a defensive lineman. You know, 2750 02:13:19,840 --> 02:13:22,760 Speaker 1: there's not real It's not real football until training camp 2751 02:13:22,800 --> 02:13:24,720 Speaker 1: for those guys.
