1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tesker who has been all over the field,

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: the strategyre of normalcy here. Let's go. It's game day.

5
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: You've been waiting what eight months for this. It's preseason football, granted,

6
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: but it is football nonetheless, and we're kicking it off tonight.

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Steve on location in Detroit where he'll be doing the

8
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: television broadcast with the talented Andrew Catalan Cynthia Freeland on

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: the sidelines, and that'll be carried by w IVBTV here

10
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: in Buffalo to night channel four. So if you live

11
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: outside the Buffalo area, you can go to Buffalo Bills

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: dot com. There is a right up there called how

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: to Watch, So if you are in some area in

14
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: New York State or even an Eerie PA and you

15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: need to know where the game is going to be,

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: you can go there to see the call letters for

17
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: your respective local television station broadcast and if you're outside

18
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: the listening area, the game will be on NFL Network tonight,

19
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: although you probably will not hear Steve and Andrew on

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: the call because typically what NFL Network carries is the

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: home teams television broadcast. So if you are reduced to

22
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: only NFL Network as your option, unfortunately you don't get

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: Steve and Andrew, so you gotta do the best you

24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: can with the options that you have. Unfortunate, unfortunately is

25
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: a subjective, subjective point of view. So how are things

26
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: in Detroit? Man? It's beautiful outside, it's been war's warm. Great,

27
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: great trip in. I mean, you know, ready to get started. Um,

28
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: we had as soon as we got in yesterday, we

29
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: had production meetings. So we sat down with Coach McDermott

30
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: and we sat down with Brandon Bean and they gave

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: us a lowdown on the on the on the game

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: tonight and some of the things that we expect. Brandon

33
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: was really generous with his time. He came in and

34
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: talked a little bit and gave us another rundown, his

35
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: perspective on the Mitch Trubisky thing that happened and signing him.

36
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about We're gonna get a chance to

37
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: talk a lot about Mitch Trubisky tonight. I think he's

38
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: gonna play a ton which is and I think he's

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: one of my you know, we're going to talk about

40
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: the guys we think to keep an eye on. He's

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: one of the guys I think I want to keep

42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: an eye on. But I think we spent a lot

43
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: of time talking to Sean about how different this year

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: is than last year and what they learned from last

45
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: year that will help them this year. You got three

46
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: preseason games, and certainly there are situations that come up

47
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: in a preseason game that you can't you don't really

48
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: think about practicing, and it's nice to do it against

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: another team without it being a little bit artificially manufactured

50
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: in practice. But uh, I think last year, it's obvious

51
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: this team they hit the ground running last year. I

52
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: mean they were hanging thirty points for the first month

53
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: of the season on everybody they face. They face some

54
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: really good teams in the early part of the season.

55
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: They were ready. The question is how can they use

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: this year in three preseason games, in a different kind

57
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: of training camp and the different COVID protocols that are

58
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: in place this year, how can they use that to

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: get them even more ready this year. I think that's

60
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: what this preseason is all about for Sean McDermott and

61
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: his staff, And you know, the player evaluation will begin tonight,

62
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: right and getting the rest of the roster ready. I

63
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: think they feel pretty good about the veteran players and

64
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: a lot of even young vets on this roster. You know,

65
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: they know that they'll be ready, willing, and able to

66
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: come the regular season. The task now is to find

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the crew that's going to line up

68
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: behind those respective players. As a good number of starters

69
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: won't play tonight, we'll find out who those are tonight,

70
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: probably shortly before kickoff, although I don't know, I can't

71
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: remember if inactives have to be listed. I don't believe

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: they do, but sometimes teams will list the players that

73
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: are not going to dress for the game a short

74
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: time prior. This is a big night for you know,

75
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: second stringers and obviously third stringers come the second half,

76
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of young players that are

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: really going to kind of get their first taste tonight.

78
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: I think that's at least based on the feedback Maddie

79
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: and I got on the show yesterday, Steve, that is

80
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: really what people are after. They want to get their

81
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: first look at some of these young newcomers. Spencer Brown,

82
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: for example, the two defensive ends bash him and Rousseau.

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there are obvious names on that are high

84
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: on the lists of a lot of fans who will

85
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: be watching tonight. Yeah, no question about it. There's a

86
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: lot of people we want to get our eyes on.

87
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you and I have watched a little practice

88
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: and I'm there's a you know, obviously the new guys

89
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: are interesting and you want to see what they do

90
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions. I've also got a bunch of

91
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: veteran guys that I'm looking at to probably the young veterans,

92
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: like you know, as an example, um at Oliver. I

93
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: want to see what at Oliver how he comes back

94
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: from from last year. Cody Ford is probably is, you know,

95
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: maybe one of the few starting offensive linemen from a

96
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: year ago who gets any significant time tonight. Cody Ford

97
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: will will be out there. And then there's the you know,

98
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: the cornerback to the second cornerback competition that's going on.

99
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: I like to see get a load of that. But

100
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: there are some other guys too that we're going to

101
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: talk about later. You've got you put out a nice

102
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: article on the Buffalo Bills dot Com about, you know,

103
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: five guys to watch and U it's interesting. I think

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: every Bills fan could come out with five guys they

105
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: want to watch, and while it may come down to

106
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: like twenty five different guys, everybody would have a different

107
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: combination of those five. You know, those twenty five guys,

108
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, I mean certainly you know, and maybe all

109
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: ninety of them would pop up on the list at

110
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: some point. But yeah, we've all got guys we want

111
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: to see play tonight. And I think it's interesting, uh

112
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: that after tonight, and Sean McDermott said it. He goes,

113
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: we have to release five guys. Yeah, by tuesday, we're

114
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna look, we're finding out tonight. Um. You always hear

115
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: media people and some fans say, wow, this is this

116
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: is ridiculous these guys. Why do we have to watch

117
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: guys who are not going to make the team. And

118
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, all that think about think about those five

119
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: guys that are maybe on the bottle. They may make

120
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: the team tonight or get hang around for another week

121
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: or get released tonight after this game. It's yeah, but

122
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: Sean said, after this game tonight will know who those

123
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: guys are. Yeah. They did change decisions. Yeah, they did

124
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: change the cutdown procedures this year. They cut it down

125
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: by five to eighty five by Tuesday at four pm,

126
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: and then the following Tuesday they have to cut another

127
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: five to get down to eighty by August twenty fourth,

128
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: and then after that it's a week later going down

129
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: to fifty three the big cut. So they used to

130
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: do this in stages in the past, but the first

131
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: cut would take it down to seventy five if I

132
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: remember right, and then the big cut at the end.

133
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Here they do it in two stages five here, five

134
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: next week, and so really, Steve, the review of this

135
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: game tape is probably going to play a factor in

136
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: who those five players may or may not be. I'm

137
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: not saying it's the end to all be all, but

138
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: obviously the practice over the last two and a half

139
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: weeks carries weight as well, along with the entire body

140
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: of work in the offseason. But yeah, some guys may

141
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: make or break their cause by how they perform Tonight

142
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: might be the final straw. Yeah, the two the last

143
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: two weeks certainly goes into it. But the simple fact

144
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: of the matter is this, if you get cut on Tuesday,

145
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: you needed to play better in this game. I mean,

146
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: you'll look back at this game and you look at

147
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: every rap and says I should have done more, should

148
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: it have been better, should have you know all of that.

149
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: So it's um this, these games are crucial. When you

150
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: get out against another NFL team with another guy who's

151
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: trying to do it, you know, and you're playing football

152
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: and not practicing, that says a lot this. These games

153
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: carry an awful lot of weight. And it may come

154
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: down to twenty five reps of a guy who gets

155
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: out there who is you know, probably not played twenty

156
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: five plays, um in two years maybe. So it's it's

157
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: absolutely critical tonight. And I think that's where, you know,

158
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: the drama of these preseasons gets lost. These guys they're

159
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna lose their jobs tonight, somebody is uh.

160
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: And that's that's the sad part about it. And it's

161
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: also the part that makes it compelling for me, for

162
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: guys like me to watch. Speaking of watching football, there

163
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: was football on last night, Patriots and the Washington football

164
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: team and then the Battle of Pennsylvania Eagles versus Steelers.

165
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: And I'm going to begin with the Patriots because I

166
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: admittedly watched a good portion of that game only really

167
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: saw a highlight to the Eagles Steelers game, and not surprisingly,

168
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick basically had all the starters up and rolling

169
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: in this one. Played a good quarter's worth of football.

170
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: But the first thing I noticed before we even get

171
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: to Cam Newton and Mac Jones Steve is something that

172
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: we've already discussed on our show with respect to Buffalo schedule,

173
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: and that is the defensive line they're going to be

174
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: facing in Week three. The Washington defensive line is going

175
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: to present problems to every team they play. And you'd say, well,

176
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: if news flash Brown either all first round picks up there.

177
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: There is some elite talent there, including that of Chase Young,

178
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: who our MSG viewers are watching sack Cam Newton. But

179
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: they got people that can bring some heat across the

180
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: board there, and it's a good thing. There's gonna be

181
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: two games of film for the offensive coaching staff to

182
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: examine and study in advance of that Week three game,

183
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: because that group's a handful, big handful. They're athletic and

184
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: fast and they're big. Um. That that runaround that Chase

185
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: Young did last night on the left tackle of New

186
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: England was unbelievably He got in unbelievably quick, um, And

187
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: it's just it's gonna be a problem. A lot of

188
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: teams are not going to be able to take five

189
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: step drops. And it's yeah, yeah, he's he's a he's

190
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: all of that. He is. He's as good a defensive

191
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: end as there is in the league. He's young, he's

192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: got a lot of a lot of a lot of speed,

193
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: a lot of explosion. He's big too, So we'll see,

194
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: if you know, I'm yes, a defensive line like that.

195
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: We've seen teams like that come in and dominate a

196
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: Super Bowl like that with you know, we saw the

197
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: Giants do it, or we saw that Seahawks do it

198
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: against the Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. We saw

199
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: the Bucks do it last year against the Chiefs. What sell.

200
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: The Giants do it against the Patriots. A couple of times,

201
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: when you get into one game where you gotta win it,

202
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: your defensive line can play like that, or you can

203
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: get quick pressure with pressure with only four guys, you're

204
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: gonna have a really, really good defense. Yeah, and I

205
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: mean they were wondering how, I wonder how the Bills

206
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: are going to fit into that. Yeah, they you know,

207
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: they were doing it against starters. You know, it's ones

208
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: on Ones. So it's not like the level of competition

209
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: was skewed in any way, shape or form. And I

210
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know, man, It's not like it's just Chase Young.

211
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they got Montez Sweat on the other edge

212
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: to Ron Payne inside, I mean, Jonathan Allen. It's just

213
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: that's a good group. They are gonna They're gonna cause

214
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: problems for a lot of offenses in this league this year,

215
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: just from a pure talent athleticism speed standpoint. As you

216
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: pointed out that stuck out to me early onto the

217
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: quarterback competition steve between Cam Newton and Mac Jones, so

218
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: both of them get opportunities while the starters were still

219
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: in on the offensive line, respectively. Jones played even after

220
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: the starters on the old line came out, and his

221
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: effectiveness was largely compromised by a substandard second offensive line

222
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: for the Patriots later on in the time that he

223
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: was on the field. But when all is said and done,

224
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: four of seven passing for forty nine yards for Cam Newton,

225
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: who gets only two drives in the game, and Jones

226
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: thirteen of nineteen for eighty seven yards, just missed on

227
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: a deep ball to Garner Olshevsky, who's also their return man.

228
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Didn't look like he was flustered in any way, shape

229
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: or form while he was out there, right, yeah, yeah,

230
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I was. I watched a little

231
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: of it, and like like you, I didn't only saw

232
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: snippets of this game, but the fact that he was

233
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: out there for as long as he was m and

234
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: looked as good as you're right, he it didn't look

235
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: too big for him. Um, the ball came out on time,

236
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: and I you know, I'm he got gosh. I think

237
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: he got over thirty throws or no, forty throws, and

238
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: he dropped back forty times in that game, and Cam

239
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Newton dropped back at eleven. I don't know if they

240
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: just looked effective, he looked you know. Of course it

241
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: was a little bit of it was dink and dunk

242
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: because they wanted to get the ball out of there.

243
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm telling you, I was. I liked what

244
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: I saw from him. He made quick decisions, made the

245
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: right decisions, you know, apparently, And I you know, I

246
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: don't know how you keep that guy off the field

247
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: when when if Cam Newton is anywhere close to what

248
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: he was a year ago, Right, you know Cam. We

249
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: didn't get a large sample size with Cam, but he

250
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: was okay. He wasn't great, he was okay. I'd like

251
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: to see a little more from him before I'm ready

252
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: to stamp him as completely washed up. Going on what

253
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: he did or failed to do last year. I have

254
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: my doubts that he can get back to any semblance

255
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: of what he once was. But I guess we'll wait

256
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: for a little bit more to be shown out on

257
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: the field before I passed judgment. Anyway, that being said,

258
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: um I felt like I was. I felt like he

259
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: threw nineteen time. Mac Jones threween nineteen. The one thing

260
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: I came away with just watching both of them is

261
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: the plays mac Jones was asked to execute more closely

262
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: resembled what we used to see with Tom Brady in

263
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: the passing game. Three step drop bang, all out, five

264
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: step drop bang, ball out, like short intermediate crossing routes,

265
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff. It just largely it more

266
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: effectively resembled what McDaniels used to do with Brady in

267
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: terms of play calls. And with Newton it's different, and

268
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: we've talked about this on the show too. Steve two

269
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: very different quarterbacks in terms of style, strengths, etc. It's

270
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: clear Jones Born closely resembles the skill set of Brady,

271
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: not saying he is Brady, but what he has in

272
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: the tool shed is more closely related to what Brady

273
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: can do than the Newton and Brady if you wanted

274
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,479
Speaker 1: to compare those two, do you think it's beyond Belichick

275
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: and Josh McDaniels to start Cam Newton in a game

276
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: or whatever and bring Mac Jones in for a Taysom Hill,

277
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, not like Taysom Hill plays, but packages like

278
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill was brought in by the New Orleans Saints

279
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: or vice versa. Do you start Mac Jones and then

280
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: Am Newton be comes in as a as a situational

281
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: quarterback kind of thing? I would not put that past

282
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: the time. I would not either. I would not either.

283
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: I could see a platoon situation there definitely at least

284
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: canst until Mac Jones takes it over completely. Right, Like

285
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: you get inside the five yard line, it's Cam Newton time. Um,

286
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: you're in a two minute drill. Maybe it's Mac Jones

287
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: time because you're throwing more so, right, you could I

288
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: could totally see situational football playing into a platoon situation

289
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. But I'll tell you right now, outside

290
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: of maybe Denver where they don't really know who the

291
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: quarterback is, outside of the Denver quarterback competition, this might

292
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: be the closest one going right now based on what

293
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: we saw last night. Yeah you mean you mean you

294
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: don't see you don't see urban Meyer starting? Oh, come

295
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: off for the Minshew over Lawrence. Mannie and I were

296
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: talking about that on the show yesterday. What are you

297
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: doing there? Like, seriously, that is like the worst coach

298
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: speak I think we could possibly dream of. Maybe the

299
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: only thing I could come up with with that was

300
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: that urban Meyer is trying to promote his everybody's got

301
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: to earn their spot mantra that he's probably said in

302
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: team meetings and everything, where he's like, well, if I

303
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, maybe players will think, oh, geez, wow, even

304
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence doesn't have his job on lockdown. I better

305
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: hustle my bustle here if I want to get my

306
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: job cemented and nailed down. Really are we are we

307
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: kidding anybody with that? The guy was the number one

308
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. If he doesn't start Week one,

309
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: Jaguar's fans are gonna riot outside the stadium. It won't

310
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: matter if Jaguar fans riot, But if Shad Khan riots,

311
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: then then Urban's got a problem. Yeah, that's where Who's

312
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: a great guy. I mean, I've had the pleasure of

313
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: meeting him really really low key, due super polite. I

314
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: could see that being one of the rare occasions where

315
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: Shankan comes in and gets a little hot, where he

316
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: might even throw out a task your line, what are

317
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: we doing if he doesn't start Lawrence right? And I

318
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I I'm with you and listen, you gotta

319
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: run your football team the way you think it should

320
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: be run. No, even though he said it doesn't make

321
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: it true. Maybe he feels like he owes Gardner Minshew

322
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: some respect for the the way he has played in practiced.

323
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: But if Gardner Minshew beats out Trevor Lawrence as a

324
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, even in week one

325
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: of his rookie year, of Trevor Lawrence's rookie year, I

326
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: think I would be absolutely floored that that happened. Well,

327
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: it would probably be maybe only the second time in

328
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: NFL history at a sixth round pick replaces the first

329
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: overall pick in a draft, and the only other time

330
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: is Brady replacing Bledsoe, and that was due to injury.

331
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: Bledsoe first pick in the draft, and ninety two played

332
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: several years already. I mean, Lawrence is a rookie obviously,

333
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, don't forget. Yeah, when Bledsoe got hurt on

334
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: that hit on the sidelines the day before he'd signed

335
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: in one hundred and ten million dollar contract with the Patriots.

336
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: The other thing him the other fascinating thing that we learned,

337
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: or he explained when he came here as quarterback of Buffalo,

338
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: because somebody had referenced it and you know, asked him

339
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: about it a little bit more. He almost died in

340
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Yeah, I

341
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: mean it was bad. He had like a rib I

342
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: guess sheared his lung or something, so he had a

343
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: collapse lung. He was bleeding internally. I mean, if you

344
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: I remember that, he said the doctor told him if

345
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: he had not been, you know, a fit as a

346
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: fiddle athlete, he may not have made it. I don't

347
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: know if they got the crash card out in the

348
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: ambulance on the way to the hospital. But he didn't

349
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: get into those kinds of details, but he said it

350
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: was really bad, like the doctors told him. You know,

351
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: I just didn't make it, man, which is crazy. Yeah,

352
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: that's well, it was. Yeah, I'm sure that it was

353
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: at a point where I heard that. It was at

354
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: a point where if he had not been like, for instance,

355
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: if he'd have been in the woods hunting or something,

356
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: he had fallen out of a tree like that, yeah,

357
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: he might not have made it. But since there were

358
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: medical people there who knew what was going on, he

359
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: was probably safe. But if they hadn't acted properly, yeah,

360
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah. Yeah. One last note to make about

361
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots Washington game. The running game I found to

362
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: be very interesting. Now, the Romandre Stevenson was a fifth

363
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: round pick at Oklahoma for the Patriots. They already had

364
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, a former second round pick. They already have

365
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: Damian Harris, who's projected to be their starter, and some

366
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: other role players, you know, JJ Taylor, the diminutive guy,

367
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: scat back kind of player, among others. So Stevenson comes

368
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: in and what essentially is garbage time. But I remember

369
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: watching college tape of Stevenson. And granted, when you play

370
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: in a wide, spread out passing offense at Oklahoma and

371
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: then you're asked to run the ball, there's an awful

372
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: lot of space out there. So I would try to

373
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: watch Romandre Stevenson's tape with a grain of salt with that.

374
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: But there's no denying my nace. Kids two thirty and

375
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: he's got legs like tree trunks. He kind of reminds me,

376
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: although I don't think he's as athletic. He reminds me

377
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of Corey Dillon when he used to

378
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: run for the Patriots. Big huge dude, plow you over.

379
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: I was surprised with the amount of wiggle that Stevenson

380
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: demonstrated last night. He obviously, the big ninety one yard

381
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: touchdown run to seal the game at the end leaves

382
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: him with a fat average. You know, he's got ten

383
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: carries for one hundred and twenty seven yards. The ninety

384
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: one yard or obviously takes care of most of that.

385
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: But he had another touchdown in the game when they

386
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: were coming into the red zone there, made a nice

387
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: move to shake the safety and got to the outside

388
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: to score. So I don't know, I just think That's

389
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: a guy to keep an eye on, because we know

390
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: what the history of Belichick has been. You know they

391
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: he has always used a committee of backs, and he

392
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: uses them for different purposes. This guy is the battering Ram,

393
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: So somebody to keep an eye on. Yeah, he had

394
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: well up until that ninety one yard run. He had

395
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: he had nine for thirty thirty eight, So he's averaging

396
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: four yards of carry even up to that point in

397
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: garbage time. And then he snaps one off and I'll

398
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: say this, You're right, he didn't. He did not look

399
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: like he was gonna make it. Yeah, he was has

400
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: not existed. He was uffing and puffing. I love that.

401
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, he humped it in and got there. And

402
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: maybe if it was a number one defense in the the NFL,

403
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: you'd have three or four guys out there that could

404
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: have walked him down, because you know, when you get

405
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, deep into the Washington secondary and like the

406
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, the fifth and sixth corners out there, nobody

407
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: was out there fast enough to run him down, even

408
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: at his size. So um, yeah, that was That was

409
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: an amazing game for a lot of Patriots win that game,

410
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: and how many times have we seen them win regular

411
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: season games exactly that way. Exactly that way. They forced

412
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: a fumble on a two point conversion to not to

413
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: keep the two point lead with a minute and some left,

414
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 1: they come out to mop it up and they end

415
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: up with what a nine point win instead of a

416
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: two point win? Just typical Patriots even even on the

417
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: Chase Young play, when he comes off the edge, he

418
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: forces a fumble from Cam Newton. The guy starts to

419
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: scoop it up and run with it, and a Patriot

420
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: offensive lineman knocks it loose and gets the ball back

421
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: instead of a sack strip fumble TD return. It's Patriots ball,

422
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: and it might have been first and ten going the

423
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: other way. After the after the somebody's got it. I

424
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know how it was ruled, but

425
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: somebody's got to explain to me why giant men feel

426
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: the need to try to scoop up the ball and run.

427
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: Just the odds are very much not in your favor,

428
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: no matter how athletic a big man you think you

429
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: might be, that you are going to capably reach down

430
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: to your toes to scoop up a bouncing football and

431
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: then fend off all comers and reach the end zone.

432
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: I understand your eyes are as big as saucers, but

433
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: man alive, just fall on the ball. Please. Yeah. Well,

434
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: here's the thing, and I get it when you're you know,

435
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: when you're when you're a pro athlete, you're paid to

436
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: make the play that's there to be made. And if

437
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: there's a loose ball and you can scoop it and

438
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: get extra yards, you do that. The problem is it

439
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: doesn't happen all that often. And these guys, well you

440
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: can tell the guy that the Washington defensive lineman who

441
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: tried to scoop it up, he's trying to do it

442
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: on the run. And you don't do it on the run.

443
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: You reach down, take a second and scoop that thing

444
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: and secure it and then run. And when you do

445
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: one without the other, you still run the risk of

446
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: not picking it up clean or looking something. You know.

447
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: You reach down and you're doing it so fast, you're

448
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: looking at where the pursuit is before you actually hit

449
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: your hands on the ball, and you can't get a

450
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: clean grip on it, so they hurry through it. But

451
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: you've got and I've said this, they said, you know,

452
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: when I was playing, guys would say, hey, coach, what

453
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: do you want to do? You want to just fall

454
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: on and he want us to try and scoop it

455
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: and score? What something? He goes? You make the play

456
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: that's there to be made. You make your pro You

457
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: scoop it, you score, and you get every yard or

458
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: offense needs. Even if you don't score, you get us

459
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: an extra five, get us an extra first down to

460
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: ten yards, get something out of it. If that's the

461
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: play that's there to be made, make it so. It's

462
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: not really a hard and fast rule. You turn these

463
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: guys loose to do what they do. And some of

464
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: them don't make. Yeah, they get too he got them

465
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: too much of a hurry. Yeah, well, and that's the thing.

466
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: And I watched that, and I'm reminded of the fundamentals

467
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: that we see coach mc thurman and his staff put

468
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: this roster through. I still remember a training camp practice.

469
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: They spend fifteen minutes in two lines opposite each other,

470
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: where they're the coaches. All you hear him saying fingers down,

471
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: thumbs out, scoop the ball, you know, And they're just

472
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: rolling balls out there to be scooped up on fumble recoveries,

473
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: and they're just preaching the technique, fingers down, thumbs out,

474
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: fingers down, thumbs I mean they said it a thousand times,

475
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: and some guys get it and some guys don't, I guess.

476
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: Or maybe it's just not coached up as much with

477
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: defensive lineman in Washington. I have no idea. One other

478
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: note from the Washington New England game, Steve, did you

479
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: see Jared Patterson, the ubback who was an undrafted rookie

480
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: did not, who was signed by Washington got a lot

481
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: of action in the third and fourth quarter ten carries

482
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: for forty yards and four receptions for thirty yards. I

483
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: thought he availed himself quite well. Granted it was you know,

484
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: garbage time, but fighting for every extra yard. I thought

485
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: for a debut performance for an undrafted rookie, he did

486
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: pretty well last night. Yeah, that's good, averaging four yards

487
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: that carried. You know, the Patriots were you know, they're

488
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: a hard team to run on, and good for him.

489
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: He knock on him is his size. He's just short.

490
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: Guy's not small. He's just short, but certainly has her

491
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: instincts and abilities and skill set to make a name

492
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: for himself. We'll see. There have been other guys. There's

493
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: been a ton of short guys playing the National Football League,

494
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: shorter than me, and most of those guys, well almost

495
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: virtually one hundred percent of them were guys that handled

496
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: the ball. Slot receivers, kick returners, darren Sproles, Lewis, you know,

497
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: all those guys. And so there's you know, Matt Harron

498
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: all the way back in the day. There have always

499
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: been short guys who were in the league. And if

500
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, you'll see him too. They're thick. Maurice Jones

501
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: Drew is a perfect example. He's a little bit taller,

502
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: he's not really short, but you know, they're heavy and

503
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: thick and they can handle the contact. But there's been

504
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: a ton of guys of Jared Patterson's ilk that have

505
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: made really good careers for themselves. So, uh, you know,

506
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: obviously everybody in Buffalo is wishing him the best. We

507
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: didn't really get to see the Steelers Eagles game, but

508
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: it was Dwayne Haskins who had still an uneven performance

509
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: but ultimately throws what proves to be a go ahead

510
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Anthony Johnson in the third quarter, and

511
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: then Jalen Samuels. Oh no, that's sorry, that's the wrong

512
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: reading it wrong. The Steelers score basically twenty one unanswered

513
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: points in late in the game to win twenty four

514
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: to sixteen over the Eagles, and Haskins was kind of

515
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: the story because he kind of was a little rough

516
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: going early on, then put together some plays, including the

517
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: twenty two yard touchdown pass, which was a play made

518
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: late in the down. It was rather Rothless Burger esque,

519
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: as he was kind of scrambling around to buy time

520
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: and spotted a guy opening the end zone and hit

521
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: him for a twenty two yards score. The only unfortunate

522
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: thing that came out of that game was we learned

523
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: that the TikTok pregame dances by one Juju Smith Schuster

524
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: are going to continue. They just will not be held

525
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: on team's logos at midfield. So I guess he does

526
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: this because his followers like them. I honestly could care less,

527
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: So whatever Juju, I don't know. Yeah, well there you go.

528
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah the page the Steelers scored seventeen straight to win

529
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: that They scored two touchdowns and then ended it with

530
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: a field goal twenty two yards Sloman field goal to

531
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: go up twenty seventeen answer points, not twenty one, yeah,

532
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, twenty four to sixteen, but yeah, they scored

533
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns to take the lead. Haskins sixteen of

534
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: twenty two hundred and sixty one yards in a TV

535
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: no interceptions yet a one oh eight rating. YEA good

536
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: for him. Interesting too, Mason Rudolph was eight out of

537
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: nine yeah in that game. And Anthony Johnson, who caught

538
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: that touchdown from Dwayne Haskins, also a UB product. So

539
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: kind of cool to see UB players kind of popping

540
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 1: up on the screen last night in preseason to kickoff

541
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,719

Speaker 1: the color analyst for the Lions Radio Network, Lomas Brown,

Speaker 1: former offensive tackle for the Lions, a bunch of other clubs,

551
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: and a long career in the league. We'll be joining

552

Speaker 1: us in the third hour to kind of give us

553
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: the lowdown on what's going on with the Lions as

554
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: they head into their first season with new head coach

555
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. But we step aside here now. We'll get

556
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: to some of your questions when we return here on

557
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: one Bills Live presented by kalaid to Health, It's Buffalo

558
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back. It's Game Day Friday, preseason opener

559
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: tonight Bills at Lyons. Steve joining us from Detroit where

560
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: it'll be doing the television broadcast tonight on w IVBTV

561
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,959
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, and we gotta get to the OBL

562
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: Friday fan mail bag as we want to take many

563
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: as many of your questions as possible. So Steve, we're

564
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna start with Rachel here, who asks at this point,

565
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: do you think Greg Russeau or Boogie Basham is more

566
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: NFL ready? Who do you think will get more snaps

567
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: at the start of the regular season more snap? I

568
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a very close race. I don't

569
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: know that I'm I don't know that I would differentiate

570
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: either of those guys. I think when this thing goes out,

571
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: I think most of these guys are gonna have almost

572
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: the identical percentage of snaps in the regular season. Boogie Basham,

573
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: Greg Russeau, Mario Addison, Jerry Hughes, fa Obada, whoever is

574
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: out there at defensive end. I think these guys are

575
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna take it. And plus, I think the fact that

576
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: Boogie Basham and Rousseau can slide down inside will give

577
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: him a chance to get on there a little bit more.

578
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Ask me after a couple of

579
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: preseason games. I might be able to give you a

580
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: better answer. It's a hard one to nail down. Now,

581
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: I will say this, I thought going in that Basham

582
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: would have an edge just because of his larger body

583
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: of work in college. You know, four year player, three

584
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: year starter, tons of games under his belt. I think

585
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: it's over forty or over thirty five games, while Rousseau

586
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: is a one year starter and you know didn't even

587
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: play last year due to COVID and opting out. So

588
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: that in my head was telling me, well, you know,

589
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 1: Basham probably has a better chance of hitting the ground

590
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: running here and getting on the field sooner. But I

591
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: have to say I've been impressed with Russo's approach. If

592
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: you watch him when he is not taking a rep,

593
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: he is either talking to a coach, asking a teammate,

594
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: a veteran teammate a question. Everything he's doing when he

595
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: is not playing is trying to soak up some tidbit

596
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: of information or some kind of tip or edge or

597
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: help to advance his game. And I'm not saying that

598
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: Basham doesn't do that, but I always see Rousseau doing that.

599
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: And you say, well, what kind of difference does that make?

600
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: I think it makes a difference. Is it going to

601
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: be enough to give him six more reps a game

602
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: than bash him? I don't know. I mean a lot

603
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: of that's going to be game plan related, rotation related,

604
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: which we know these guys do a lot of rote as.

605
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: Coach Fraser has run this defense the past four years.

606
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: But I believe that can only help Rousseau's chances. So

607
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if when we get to the

608
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: regular season, Rousseau gets a little bit more time than

609
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: bash him. But I agree with you, we got to

610
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: kind of wait and see how this preseason plays out.

611
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: Nicky says, are there any backups you could see earning

612
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: a starting job before Week one? The only possibilities I

613
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: could see would be aj Epenessa taking Mario's spot or

614
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson taking over for Levi. But even those seem

615
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: unlikely in my opinion. There's not a lot open like

616
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: wide open spots Steve on this roster, nom I could see.

617
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: I could see Spencer Brown causing an offensive line shuffle.

618
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: I could see the defensive line. I mean, if we're saying,

619
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: if we're if we're assuming that it's Jerry Hughes, Ed

620
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: Oliver Starlotu Lala, and Mario Addison at the front four

621
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: on defense, I could see Rousseau or Basham or fa

622
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: Obata upsetting that apple cart in some way, shape or form.

623
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: And if we're any one of those four positions, maybe

624
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: not Star's position. I think Star is going to be

625
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: the guy out there. But you could see any of

626
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: those guys inserting being in, being swamped, opped out, or

627
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: switched around. You know, Jerry Hughes may stay on the field,

628
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: but he may switch to the other side, and Greg

629
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: Russo might command, or Boogie Basham might command, or fa

630
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: Obottom might come in and Mario Addison sits down or whatever.

631
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, those are something that I think offensive line

632
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: defensive line because there's so much quality talent there because

633
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: there's so many guys buying for a roster spot and

634
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: there's so many elite traits running around out there. Yeah,

635
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: that's one I could see. I could see a defensive

636
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: defensive first of all, I see an offensive line shuffle.

637
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: I don't know that the five offensive lineman we had

638
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: anticipated last year, meaning you know, Dion Dawkins, John Feliciano,

639
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris, Cody Ford, Darryl Williams. That's the spot where

640
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: I think there's a there's some opportunity for somebody to

641
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: become a better, better guy at one of those spots. Yeah,

642
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: I mean, most notably Spencer Brown. Coach McDermot was also

643
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: asked about the budding competition at guard between the three

644
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: guys who all had starts last year, butcker Ford and Feliciano.

645
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that is a it's very quietly been a

646
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 1: three player competition since Bucker came off the COVID reserve list.

647
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see how how that

648
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: plays out, too, because you only got two spots and

649
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: you got three guys, so who's gonna be in there

650
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: and is going to be the odd man out? I

651
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: think that's a very compelling competition, especially because it involves

652
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: three people not just two, as you know, a lot

653
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: of prime position battles typically do. Maddie and I were

654
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: talking about Dan Jackson yesterday, who has had a very

655
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: uneven camp to this point. But I openly wonder if

656
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: Dan Jackson is more of a gamer type player, a

657
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: guy that may not show his best day today in

658
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: the practice setting, but when the lights are on, you know,

659
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: the eyes get big and some plays get made. I

660
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: think that's what he's going to have to rely on

661
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: here if he hopes to make a dent in the

662
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: stranglehold that Levi Wallace appears to have here from the

663
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: outset on the corner job. Yeah, I don't Yeah, that

664
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: makes some sense, no question. I think one of the

665
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: things as well. Brannie Weaves talked about it on the

666
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: show A ton Every play has got to be good,

667
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: not spectacular, not flashy, but good once in a while,

668
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, Dane Jackson, you know, will flash and he'll

669
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: tip away a ball or pick off a pass or

670
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: blanket or receiver, and then the next play he gets

671
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: dropped off at the break point and he's nowhere to

672
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: be found. When the guy catches the ball, Levi Wallace.

673
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: That never seems to happen to him. Now he won't,

674
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: you know, flash with the one handed interception, that kind

675
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: of thing. But he does. He's always he never gets

676
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: dripped off. You know, he never gets left behind by

677
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. There's some close plays and he get

678
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: He'll give up some receptions, no question, but he's never

679
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: lost out there. That is more important. The consistency of

680
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: good play is more important than having a guy flash

681
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: and then three times every ten plays he has a

682
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: mental mistakers in the wrong spot or as a lined

683
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: wrong or uses the wrong technique or thinks he's playing

684
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: the wrong coverage. You know, three out of ten plays,

685
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: that's way too many. So you know that doesn't happen

686
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: with Levi Wallace and guys like Dane Jackson, you know,

687
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: Cam Lewis, all of these guys, Rashad Wild Goose. They've

688
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: got to prove that they can play well enough one

689
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the snaps so that when they do

690
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: have a flashy play, it's a plus, not just an average. Yeah,

691
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: I hear you. I get it. On that OBL fan mailbag,

692
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: by the way, brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

693
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company the Buffalo Bills. One more

694
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: here before the break from Bill's blog. How long do

695
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 1: you think they keep the top three rookies playing? Would

696
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: it make sense to get them extra reps in the preseason? Hell? Yes,

697
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: get them as many reps as you can, especially a

698
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: guy like Rousseau who we mentioned opted out last year,

699
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: hasn't played contact football and probably eighteen months. Get that

700
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: guy as many reps as you can to get him

701
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: as ready as possible to contribute to this team. Not

702
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: because he's a first round pick, but because you never

703
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: have an pass rushers. So yeah, I am all for

704
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: getting them as many reps as possible. I'm not saying

705
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: they play the whole game, but there's nothing that tells

706
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: me they shouldn't play a half of football tonight. It's

707
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: easy to generalize, and I'd probably do it too much.

708
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: But on defense, it's there are guys that get hurt

709
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: on defense, no question, We've seen it all the time.

710
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: But when you're the guy that's that's going in and

711
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: making a tackle or hitting a guy, it's you're much

712
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: It seems to be much safer than it is when

713
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: you're the guy that's got the ball and everybody's running

714
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: out you're trying to hit you, right. So for defensive guys, yeah,

715
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: I like playing them a little bit more, particularly these

716
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: young guys. I'm with you. That doesn't mean it's risk free,

717
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: but when you're a pass rusher in a defensive lineman,

718
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: it's I think it's really good reps to go out

719
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: there and turn them loose and hopefully give him as

720
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: many chances to rush the passer as you can. And

721
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: we spoke to Sean McDermott yesterday. Guy like fa Obada, Yeah,

722
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: he can rush the pastor, but his question mark is

723
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: can he defend the run. That's one of those things

724
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: where you kind of have that's one of those things

725
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: where you have to kind of learn to do it

726
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: rather than rely on your skills and your physical abilities

727
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: to get around a guy or out athleticize him. In

728
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: run defense, you got to stay discipline and grab a

729
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: gap and hold your ground. Yeah, read and react. It's

730
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: a different skill set. Yeah, it's a different skill set.

731
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: So that's what fa Obada still has to prove to

732
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: this coaching staff that he on rundowns he can hold

733
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: his ground and still play off a block and make

734
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: a tackle down inside in deep traffic. He can rush

735
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: the passer, but can he do the other Can he

736
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 1: be a complete three down back, three down defensive lineman.

737
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: That's what they're really looking for from him. So everybody's different.

738
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, these young guys, I am all about seeing

739
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: what they can do and give him as many rips

740
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: as you can. It's got to be the most appealing

741
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: part of tonight's game seeing those top three picks going,

742
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: knowing they're going to probably all get a good deal

743
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: of playing time tonight. Break time here for us. But

744
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: when we come back, more of your questions the OBL

745
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: fan Friday mail Bag. So stay tuned. We're back in

746
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: a moment here on One Bills Live. Welcome back, One

747
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker. We got to pass along.

748
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: There was actually a trade in the NFL yesterday. The

749
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars traded former Pro Bowl linebacker Joe Schobert. I think

750
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: he went to the Pro Bowl while he was with

751
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: the Browns at the linebacker position. Traded him to the Steelers,

752
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: So interesting move there. The Steelers have lots and players. Recently,

753
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: Vince Williams up and retired right before training camp, and

754
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: I think they lost another inside linebacker in free agency,

755
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: so you can understand why Pittsburgh would be interested in

756
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: an inside linebacker. So Joe Schobert going to Pittsburgh and

757
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: back to the AFC North now playing for the heated

758
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: enemy of Browns fans. So that was interesting. And there

759
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: is there are some rumbling Steve that Larry Fitzgerald may

760
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: come back to the Cardinals as his contract was up

761
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: after last year. Still drifting out there in free agency

762
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. I gotta look up where he is on

763
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: the all time receivers list, because I think he's like

764
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: third in receptions. I don't know where he is in yardage,

765
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: probably not as high. But man, that's a heck of

766
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: a career there, Well it is. I'm surprised. I don't know.

767
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: It's hard for the seems like it's hard for the

768
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: really great ones to let it go. He had a

769
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: good year last year. He helped that team, no question

770
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: about it. But that's I don't know, waiting this long

771
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: to get back into it and come back in this year.

772
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: If he wants to, he can. The Cardinals would love

773
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: to have him, that's it, But I don't know. We'll see.

774
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: That's a that's up to him, obviously, but I don't

775
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: know how what why he waited till now, and he's

776
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: got to realize what kind of position that puts them in. Yeah,

777
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 1: I mean it was kind of It's one of those

778
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: cryptic tweets that a player puts out and then everybody

779
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: reads into it, which is what this is all about.

780
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: So somebody basically tweeted at him saying, I guess you

781
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: don't have any news to tell Cardinals fans l L,

782
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: and then he responds by saying, you believe in miracles.

783
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: So everybody's trying to interpret what that means, and naturally

784
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,959
Speaker 1: some people are taking that and running with Ah, he's

785
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: coming back, he's gonna sign with the Cardinals. It's gonna happen,

786
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: and I gotta he had he had fifty four catches

787
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: for four hundred and nine yards last year. Yeah, he

788
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: was a role player, not even yeah, it was a

789
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: role play. He backed up DeAndre Hopkins who had fourteen

790
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: hundred yards one hundred and fifteen catches. Um Christian Chris

791
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: Edmonds was right behind him with fifty three catches in

792
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: the exact same amount of yards. So and they have

793
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: Christian kirk Andy Isabella as their slot guy. So it's

794
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: not like weapons what right and for that kind of production.

795
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of money they would offer

796
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: him to perform that role. Yeah, certainly they wouldn't probably

797
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: expand his role from a year ago, not with DeAndre

798
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: Hopkins on the on the team. So if he's gonna come,

799
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: if he wants to come back, and what is he

800
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna play for the veteran minimum, I can't see that, although,

801
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: like I said, sometimes it's hard for these guys to

802
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: walk away, right, we have time here to squeeze in.

803
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: Another question from the obl fan Friday mailbag, Vito asks,

804
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: I know there are many, but who's the single most

805
00:46:54,880 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: anticipated player Chris and Steve are looking at tonight? And

806
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: why do you want to take a stab at this one? First? Well,

807
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: for me, it's Greg Russou. I want to see him

808
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: out there. He's got elite traits. It's all for me.

809
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: It's all the guy. It's the guys up front. The

810
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 1: skill positions of this team are set. The dbs are good,

811
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: the wide outs, running backs are set, the quarterbacks ready

812
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: to go, the tight ends. I'm excited to see Dawson Knox.

813
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: He's one of the players I want to watch as well.

814
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: But for me, for this team, if they want to

815
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: go to and win the Super Bowl this year, which

816
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: they do, it's about how well the offensive line and

817
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: defensive line play, how healthy they stay, how productive they are.

818
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: That's it. That's why I'm gonna watch Greg Russoud and

819
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: I I'm gonna watch Spencer Brown to I I'm gonna

820
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: watch Cody Ford tonight. I'm gonna watch all those guys,

821
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 1: all the new guys. Boogie basham a j E Panessa.

822
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: I've for me, the crux of the entire twenty twenty

823
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: one season, in one in which the Bills have Super

824
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: Bowl aspirations, comes down to how well they're how well

825
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: they can dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides

826
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: of the bowl. So that's what I'm gonna watch. Yeah,

827
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm in that boat. I would throw a Bot in

828
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: that mix as well. He's just a guy that I

829
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: want to see in a real game setting kind of

830
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: see how he does holding the edge in the run

831
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: game in addition to his pass rushing skills. But yeah,

832
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,839
Speaker 1: it is a lot. And part of the reason why

833
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: you're looking up front is because that's where some things

834
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: could shift and change potentially based on preseason performance. You know,

835
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: the back seven for the Bill's defense, I mean you

836
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: can almost put it in pen now, and as you said,

837
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: the skill position players on offense. As far as the

838
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: top line guys, you can probably write it in pen.

839
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, when you think about it, outside

840
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: of saying, well, I wonder what this guy's got to

841
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: do to make the roster, the only guys you're really

842
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: looking at to see if they're going to make an

843
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: impact act in the trenches is the guy's up front.

844
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: And those are the only positions that I think could

845
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: shift and change a little bit between now and the

846
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: start of the regular season. It will come down to

847
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: some degree two preseason performance. Break time for Steve and

848
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: I Here. Second hour of the program coming your way

Speaker 1: Tasker's Teammate. You'll want to stay tuned for that, but

851
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: more of your questions coming your way next here on

852
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,439
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by a lot of health It's

853
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. At a Steve Tasker who has been

854
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

855
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp.

856
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: We're not even in the straggyre of normalcy, all right.

857
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: Here we are on a Friday game day for your

858
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: Bills seven pm kickoff tonight in Detroit against the Lions

859
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: at Ford Field. Steve in Detroit, ready to broadcast the

860
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: game on w IVBTV tonight in Buffalo with his broadcast

861
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:22,959
Speaker 1: partner Andrew Catalan Cynthia Freeland down on the sidelines. So

862
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: we are going through these questions from you in the

863
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: obil fan Friday mail bag, and Matt gives us an

864
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 1: interesting one, Steve. He says, when Hollywood decides to make

865
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: the movie of this Buffalo Bill's era, who do you

866
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: have playing the key characters, namely Bean McDermott, Dabele, Frazier

867
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: Pagoula and Josh Okay. So he has some suggestions which

868
00:50:55,719 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: actually are pretty good. So for Bean, he has Matt Damon.

869
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: So that's that's an age appropriate match there. Um. I

870
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: think they're about the same height too. Mcdermoy He goes

871
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt, which I have an issue with for a

872
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: number of reasons. Brad Pitt shave his head, well he

873
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: would have to, but I don't know. I just don't

874
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: see that as a match for me, and I have

875
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: some suggestions. We'll get to that in a second. Brian Dable,

876
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: he goes Kevin James. Um, again, head shaving has to

877
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: happen here. Um, I mean you gotta go like Telly

878
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: Savalis bald, like you gotta go all no oh yeah,

879
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,439
Speaker 1: but yeah, um yeah, Okay, there's some guys out there.

880
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, Leslie Frazier he has Denzel, which again is

881
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: age appropriate. Um. For Terry Pagoula, he has Stephen Root,

882
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: who was an actor I was not wholly familiar with,

883
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: so I looked him up and it's okay. I think

884
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a stretch. The likeness really

885
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: isn't there. So I had a suggestion there. And then

886
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: for Josh, he had Liam Helmsworth Thor, you know the

887
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: guy the Avenger Thor. That's who he had. Yeah, I

888
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: think that's Liam Helmsworth, right, Yeah, I think he's Thor.

889
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: So that's who he had for him. I don't know

890
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: if he wants I don't know if you want a

891
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: guy quite that jacked up to be Josh, he may

892
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: have to lay off the weights a little bit. Well,

893
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: he's got a helmsworth would be big enough over those

894
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: other actors that he would look like Josh, right, you

895
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Which is which is all the

896
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: other actors are like my our height, and Liam helms

897
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: was like six four, which is shorter than Josh. But

898
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: six three six four, Yeah, that might work. So here

899
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: were the suggestion. I don't know if you have any

900
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 1: so while I'm giving you mine, maybe try to think

901
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: of a couple. But I thought better matches for McDermott.

902
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: And this is coming from a bald guy, so I

903
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: think I'm speaking with some level of expertise here. I

904
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: had Jason Statham as an option, you know, the action

905
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: actor and a lot of the fast and furious among

906
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 1: some of the other who would he play he's McDermott, Oh,

907
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: I got you. Obviously he's got some side hair like

908
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: I do, but he would have to clean that all off.

909
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: He also he also has an accent, that's right, so

910
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: he'd have to adopt an American accent and make it work.

911
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: So the other guy I had was Mike Judge, who

912
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: who is more famous, probably for doing the Beavis and

913
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: Butthead and King of the Hill cartoons. But he is

914
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: also an actor, and he is a que ball, and

915
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: I think he could work. I think he could work.

916
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if our crack staff on the other

917
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: side can quickly bring up an image of Mike Judge,

918
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: but I think I think he might work for Coach.

919
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I watch movies and television a lot,

920
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: like everybody else does. I couldn't tell you the real

921
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: name of the actors in those things for the life

922
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: for me, so I couldn't ye out right. Movie buffs

923
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: are typically the ones who know each and every actor

924
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: I might recognize. Like I'll be watching a movie with

925
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: my wife and I'll be going, oh, we saw her

926
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: in this, and then my wife, my wife will be like,

927
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: and what's what's her name? Do you remember her name?

928
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: So then instead of watching the movie, I'm spending the

929
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: next ten minutes racking my brain. Now fortunately we have

930
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: phones now where you just kind of look up, Oh,

931
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: they I know they're in this movie, in this movie,

932
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: and then you know you'll get a name. Come, oh,

933
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: it's Rachel McAdams or whatever you know. So here was

934
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: my other suggestion for Terry. I went with Liam Neeson.

935
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: Now again, we've got an accent to get it by.

936
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: I think he's Irish, right, I think he's an Irish actor. Um, yes,

937
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: but I think he could work h because he's in

938
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: his I think he's in his sixties now. And then

939
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: the only other guy I thought could be an option

940
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: for Josh would be Chris pratt right. I think after

941
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: seeing what movie did he get all jacked up for recently?

942
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: He was all ripped up and I can't remember remember

943
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: the Guardians of the Galaxy or that might have been,

944
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: or Jurassic Park whatever whatever. Yeah, I mean he was

945
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: in Jurassic Park for some reason. I just remember there

946
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: was a role that he got ripped up for, and

947
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you know what if if it's

948
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 1: ripped up Chris Pratty, he could probably pass for Josh.

949
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: He's like six, but he might six two. Yeah, but

950
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: he's also like what is he thirty three? I think

951
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: he's forty. Yeah. See, they can make those guys look young.

952
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: You know what makeup does? Yeah? Do you have any

953
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you have any better suggestions? I no, No,

954
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: I can't. I couldn't even think of a name. Yeah,

955
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: like the you know, I who would you get to

956
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: play all the I don't know. I want to know

957
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: what the plot of the movie is too. Kevin James

958
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: is actually pretty good that the picture that your friends

959
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: sent out on Twitter, Kevin James is bald with a beard,

960
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: and he looks like Dayball. What there's a picture of

961
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: him bald? Did I miss this? Yeah? On the on Yeah,

962
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: down on the on the post that that you're referring to.

00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: The guy's on he's on there and uh and he's yeah,

964
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's I gotta see this, yeah, And so yeah,

965
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna i gotta pull this up because I'm more interested.

966
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in who's playing these guys. I'm interested

967
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: in where they win the Super Bowl in this movie

968
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: or not. That's what I want to know, right, So, oh, yeah,

969
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 1: that could work. That's pretty good. Good? What what movie

970
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: was this? Where he was? I do not know. I

971
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: do not know. I think he could. I think he

972
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,479
Speaker 1: could definitely pass. Not only that, he's got him talking

973
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: into like a walkie talkie just like he does it practice.

974
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: Look at that. Yeah, got got a red hoodie on too.

975
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: It's looking good. I'm in on Kevin Ja. That's the

976
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: guy that could make it work. Okay, Yeah, I'm sold there.

977
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: I am sold on that one. Jim, he's got the

978
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: baby face. I guess he could go be Josh. I

979
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: can't get I can't get to the Brad pitt one though.

980
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: I can't do that. Uh, Stephen Root, now it's coming

981
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: back to me. I'd have a hard time with Stephen

982
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: Root being terry. And this is the only reason why,

983
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: because he was the He was the old guy with

984
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: the goggles in dodgeball who had the ruthless mail order. Um,

985
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: the ruthless wife who was just horribly mean to him.

986
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: Uh do you remember in dodgeball the old guy with

987
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: the goggles. He had a potbelt. Oh my gosh, Steve,

988
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: how do you not remember? The old heavy guy? And

989
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: the only way he plays well is if he gets angry,

990
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: and then he's like, so he sees his wife up

991
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: in the stands fooling around with some guy, and he

992
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: gets all hot and bothered. He's the only guy left

993
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: out there on the dodgeball floor and it's like basically

994
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: four against one, and somehow he pulls it out and wins.

995
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: Um because he got angry. He's terrified of just about everything.

996
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: He was the guy trying Brownie you're in the weeds, man,

997
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: I think so anything. I guess what I'm saying is

998
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: getting back to my point. What I am saying here

999
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,959
Speaker 1: is every time I would see him, I would laugh

1000
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: out loud because all I would think about is him

1001
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: in Dodgeball. Uh. And I would not be thinking of

1002
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: him playing the role of of Terry, So that would uh.

1003
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if that could work for me. I

1004
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: would have a mental block there, I am you can

1005
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: get you know who else would do? It? Would be

1006
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: pretty good as rain Wilson. Yes, And it's interesting that

1007
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned him, Steve. I was gonna mention this to

1008
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: the guys in the control room. Some Bills fan met

1009
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: rain Wilson at some book signing or some appearance that

1010
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 1: he was doing the guy that plays Dwight Shrewd on

1011
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: the Office, and he basically got rain Wilson to say

1012
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: and look into his phone camera and say, Josh Allen rules.

1013
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: So I don't know what he did to get him

1014
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: to do it, but rain Wilson played along and he's

1015
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: just like Josh Allen rules and that and that's all

1016
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: he did. It's like a six second clip, but good

1017
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: on the Bills Fan for forgetting him to do it.

1018
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't know it. It's amazing the links Bills fans

1019
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: will go to to get some celebrity to say something

1020
00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: positive about the Bills. But we'll take it. Oh yeah,

1021
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: I thought that was a very interesting. Sorry, I went

1022
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: so far down the rabbit hole on you, Steve, and

1023
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: you were of absolutely no help, since you know, I

1024
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: was an absolute anchor tied around your neck on that

1025
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: segment taking me down on that one came through. I

1026
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: came through with Rain Wilson late. That was it. Yeah,

1027
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought that would be fun. And then

1028
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: you're telling me I don't remember any actors names when

1029
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: I watch him in movies, and I'm thinking to myself,

1030
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: oh geez, well, this thing's going right down the toilet here.

1031
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: I remember the big ones, Sean Connery, Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks, Yeah, yeah,

1032
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: those are the guys. Yeah, there's yeah. If there's not

1033
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: one of those in there, I yeah, yeah, you're lost.

1034
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: That's that's a hard one. That's fair. But I just

1035
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: wanted to, like I said, I want to see I

1036
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: want to read the screenplay and make sure that the

1037
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: Bills are doing something good in this thing. Right. Well,

1038
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: I think this is Matt assuming as much. I think

1039
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: he's assuming. He's kind of looking into his crews to

1040
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Paul a little bit and expecting, you know, a monumental

1041
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: season this year, and then he fully expects Hollywood to

1042
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: come calling. So I don't know, don't we all. I'm

1043
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: not getting I'm not getting in the way of that thought,

1044
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 1: so right, Okay, Yeah, it was interesting. Kevin James is

1045
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: a really good call though. I like that one, And

1046
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: I like Denzel for coach Frasier. I'm sure coach Frasier

1047
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: would like Denzel too. I don't think he'd have a

1048
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: problem with that. Um So, yeah, I like the pick. Yeah. Uh.

1049
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: Eric in the fan mail bag says, considering the Bills

1050
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: likely keep two quarterbacks on the active roster if Jake

1051
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: or Mitchell lighted up, given dak is getting a second

1052
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: MRI and his status is unclear or the uncertainty in Indianapolis,

1053
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on one of them possibly getting

1054
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: traded if the price was right. I'm just gonna say,

1055
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: in no uncertain terms, Mitchell Trubisky is not going anywhere.

1056
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 1: He is the backup quarterback this year. End of story. Well, yea,

1057
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: And in saying that, when you when you add this

1058
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: thing on. If the price is right, folks, friends and neighbors.

1059
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: Everything is tradeable if the price is right. But the

1060
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: question is how you know, what do you think? What

1061
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: do you think? I mean, who you gonna trade? I mean?

1062
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: What's not tradeable if the price is right. Yeah, there

1063
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: you might be saying, nobody could come up with enough

1064
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: to trade for Josh. You know, nobody could come up

1065
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: with with enough to trade for some of these other

1066
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: guys or whatever. And nobody's got enough. You know, you

1067
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: don't want to depart with part with any of these guys, Todavious,

1068
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: No way. So yeah, everything's tradeable. But Mitch Trubisky's not

1069
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: going to go to the Dallas Cowboys on a one

1070
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: year deal. He's not getting them bills. Won't trade him

1071
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: for that. We're not gonna he's not worth it to

1072
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys for a one year deal, even though he'd

1073
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 1: be cheap labor for them and all that they may

1074
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:52,479
Speaker 1: get some use out of him. They're you know, they're

1075
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: not gonna give up the capital that it would take

1076
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: to get him out of Buffalo just for a one

1077
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: year stop gap. Well, Dak Prescott comes back from a

1078
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. Yeah, And I think what we have to

1079
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: do here is try and remember the whole impetus for

1080
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: signing Mitchell Trubisky in the first place. The whole point

1081
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: of signing Mitchell Trubisky was to upgrade their number two

1082
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: quarterback position and acquire a player whose physical skill set

1083
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: was in closer resemblance to that of Josh Allen than

1084
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: the predecessor, Matt Barkley, who clearly did not have the

1085
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: same physical skills, certainly with his legs and with his arm,

1086
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: although most don't match the arm strength of Josh anyway.

1087
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: But I think the athleticism in Mitchell Trubisky's skill set

1088
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: would allow Brian Dable to keep most, if not all,

1089
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: of the play calling available to him as an option,

1090
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: where I don't think that was the case with Matt Barkley.

1091
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: You take Mitchell Trabisity out of the equation via trade,

1092
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: and now you're down to Davis Webb and Jake from

1093
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: I think I think that changes again. What would you

1094
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: what would it cost or what would you take for

1095
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: the you know, what would you accept for the bills

1096
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: to bail out another franchise who was not smart enough

1097
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: to sign a guy who's good enough to win games

1098
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 1: with in case their starter goes down, which you know

1099
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Dallas is If in this case Dallas's starter, Dak Prescott

1100
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: goes down and they weren't smart enough to get somebody

1101
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: who they can win games with. Why would the Bills,

1102
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: for whatever it is, what would it take for the

1103
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: Bills to give them a guy they think they can

1104
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: win with when the Bills might need the guy too,

1105
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: and here when they absolutely are going for it right,

1106
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: So that's why are you gonna what is what is

1107
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: valuable enough to you to give up your safety net

1108
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys weren't smart enough to do and get

1109
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: in the first place. That's why for me it's a

1110
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 1: very very high price. I made the right move in

1111
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: insulating my team to be prepared in the event that

1112
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: we don't have Josh Allen for two games, three games,

1113
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I have insulated my roster where I

1114
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: have a former first round draft choice who has fifty

1115
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: starts in the league, who is more than capable of

1116
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: leading an offense, and I can run almost all the

1117
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: same plays that I do with Josh Allen in the game.

1118
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: I may not throw as many vertical routes, but everything

1119
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: else is capable of staying largely the same. This guy

1120
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: can roll out, he can run naked bootlegs, he can

1121
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: run quarterback draws. So yeah, give me a first round

1122
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: pick and maybe we'll talk. And you might say, oh,

1123
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. How could you give up a first round

1124
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: pick for a backup quarterback. Well, that's the price for me,

1125
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: because that's how much he means to my roster. As

1126
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: I am going for it this year. I want all

1127
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: fail safes possible on my roster so I can answer

1128
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: any potential pitfall that may come up this year. That

1129
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: so I don't get so our so our goals don't

1130
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: get derailed by one injury. Yeah, I mean, if you're

1131
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: not gonna give if you're not given give up the

1132
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: going price, you're not gonna make it happen. So you

1133
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 1: can sit there and go with your backup whoever it is.

1134
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: The Bills in that scenario are going to call their shot.

1135
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: Certainly they've got them on a one year deal, but

1136
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: this is this is quite the year, right, I mean,

1137
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: you've got high expectations, and if Josh goes down for

1138
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: any length of time, you still want to be able

1139
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: to go for it. You still want to be able

1140
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: to win games. Certainly you feel like you need Josh

1141
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: in your corner and on the field to win at all.

1142
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: But that's at the last half of the season. What

1143
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: if you know all of this stuff in the week's

1144
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: leading up to that, you know you you need a

1145
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: couple of games from Mitch Drubisky. You want Mitch Drubisky

1146
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: or Jake from You know, we're gonna look at that tonight. Yeah,

1147
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: you and I have both been out there. Yeah, Mitch

1148
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 1: Trubisky like a hundred times out of a hundred, I'm

1149
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: taking Mitchell Trubisky. And you know the reason I say

1150
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: first round pick is the only thing that would make

1151
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: me think about it is because that's how much I

1152
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: value the investment the team made in Mitchell Trubisky to

1153
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: be a failsafe in the event that you don't have

1154
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: Josh for all seventeen regular season games. That's how much

1155
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: he means to the operation of staying competitive and being

1156
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 1: able to still win games even without Josh should something

1157
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: like that come to pass. That is a value to

1158
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: me in this all important year where this team is

1159
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: clearly going for the whole kit and kaboodle. So if

1160
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 1: I subtract that from my roster, and now I have

1161
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: to rely on either a Davis Webb who's maybe got

1162
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 1: one or two games in the regular season under his

1163
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: belt and his higher career, and then Jake from who

1164
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 1: has none. That severely hampers my effort to keep the

1165
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:13,919
Speaker 1: team on course until Josh Allen gets back. So that's

1166
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: why it is of enormous value to me to keep

1167
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: Mitchell Dubisky on my roster. Everybody wants to throw this

1168
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: backup quarterback overboard. It's the best backup quarterback they've arguably

1169
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: had since Frank Reich or Doug Flutie, Right. I mean,

1170
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,640
Speaker 1: that's how Lars you're gonna if you need him, you

1171
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: need it. It's and Marv used to say, Marv Levy

1172
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: and his Hall of Fame career would tell us this,

1173
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: it's like a parachute. You don't need it until you

1174
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 1: need it, but when you need it, you really need it. Yeah,

1175
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 1: you don't need it until you do. That sounds like

1176
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: more than it does a marvism. When you need it,

1177
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 1: you really need it. That's what a parachute is, right,

1178
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 1: So that's what the backup quarterback is. And so you know,

1179
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: don't give up your parachute man. Yeah, I agree one

1180
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty percent. Chris in the mail Bag asks,

1181
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm interested in seeing Greg Rousseau out there. I also

1182
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 1: want to see what fa Obada does out there. Do

1183
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: you guys think that they both will get a lot

1184
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: of playing time tonight? I believe they will. I believe

1185
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 1: they will. I think you're looking at at least a

1186
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: quarter maybe more for Rousseau, maybe a little bit less

1187
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: for Obada, depending on how much the defense is out there.

1188
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: A lot of this, Steve, and you know this, A

1189
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: lot of this is dependent on the flow of the game.

1190
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you could have an instance where Buffalo's offense

1191
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 1: is on the field for a fourteen play drive, the

1192
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: defense doesn't get on the field for the first series

1193
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: until three minutes left in the first quarter. Well, if

1194
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: that happens, right, those guys are playing into the second quarter,

1195
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: that's right. All this quirky stuff seems to happen in

1196
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: the preseason. It rarely goes like regular season games due

1197
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 1: because one team's either playing really good, or one team's

1198
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 1: making a lot of mistakes, or there's a ton of penalties,

1199
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: or that one team goes through and out, Then the

1200
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 1: other team goes three and out. Then this team goes

1201
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 1: three and out, then the other team keeps going three

1202
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 1: and out. Nobody gets into any kind of rhythm. The

1203
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 1: game goes back and forth on either end of the field.

1204
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 1: With punch, you punt more. Your punt team gets more

1205
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: work than anybody, and so that some of that stuff

1206
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: can happen. But you know, that's one of the reasons

1207
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: why coaches and Sean McDermot, we had a conversation with

1208
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 1: him yesterday about it. You want to see certain situations.

1209
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: You want to see how your team reacts. You want

1210
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: to see a quick change over a fumble then your

1211
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: defense has to go right back out on the field,

1212
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 1: or a fumble in your offense has to go right

1213
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:35,440
Speaker 1: back out on the field. You want to get a

1214
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 1: two minute drill before the half, for before the end

1215
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: of the game. You want to get a bunch of situations.

1216
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: You can't manufacture in a practice field as well as

1217
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: you do in a game. You'd like to see all

1218
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: of those situations. And when all of those situations happen,

1219
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: it messes with how who's playing, how they're planning, and

1220
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 1: when they're playing, how many snaps they get and which

1221
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: position they're getting the snaps out of, particularly on the

1222
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: defensive line or even the offensive line, or wide receivers

1223
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: they get enough, they get enough reps in the slot,

1224
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: or do they have to be outside for the entire half?

1225
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:06,919
Speaker 1: You know what? All of that, the running backs, everybody,

1226
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: So it's so unpredictable that you don't know who's gonna

1227
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: play or how much they're gonna play. You'd like to

1228
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: see some guys play like that. But I'll say this,

1229
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: I know this too. When I played in preseason games,

1230
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,560
Speaker 1: rarely did I come off the field after a preseason

1231
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: game going wow, that went just like I hoped it

1232
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: would go. I mean that was when I was coming

1233
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 1: off a Pro Bowl season and headed to another Pro

1234
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: Bowl season, or in all pro season. I rarely felt

1235
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: good after a preseason game because it was so unpredictable

1236
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: and there's so much you want to get done, couldn't

1237
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 1: and you didn't you know, you got I gotta you

1238
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 1: gotta play seven plays, or all of a sudden, you

1239
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: gotta play twenty five plays. You didn't know and you

1240
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: know all of that stuff. So you come off those

1241
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: fields going wow, I hope I just I don't want

1242
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: to go through this again, you know. So I hope

1243
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,799
Speaker 1: that these guys are gonna get their share of snaps.

1244
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: What was that? I hope the tape looks good, right,

1245
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: these guys will get their share of snaps. But the

1246
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: problem with it is you never know exactly how many

1247
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna get and the continuity these snaps are funky,

1248
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 1: and they guys never really feel like they get into

1249
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: rhythm because the guys are around them are changing the

1250
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: which series you're in, your infra series, you're out for

1251
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: a series, your infra series. It seems helter skelter that way.

1252
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: Guys takes a long time to get used to it. So, yeah,

1253
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,600
Speaker 1: I want to see all these guys play, and I

1254
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: want to see him play. Well, one thing that I

1255
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 1: want to see these guys flash. Yeah, one thing we

1256
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 1: should note for tonight because I just read this recently

1257
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: and forgot about it. In the preseason, there is no overtime,

1258
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: so games in the preseason can end in a tie

1259
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: if that happens. So thirteen thirteen with a minute left

1260
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 1: to go, you know, if it ends in a tie,

1261
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 1: Steve and the crew, they're off the hook, They're they're

1262
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: out of there. Man, no overtime in the previous interesting too,

1263
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: don't forget this too. This is footballs back. Also, you know,

1264
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: the sky judges is in for the NFL. They're gonna

1265
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: be scrutinizing all the calls and stuff, making sure the

1266
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: spot of the ball and fumbles and all that. They'll

1267
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: buzz down. The head coaches have been has been notified

1268
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: about how that's gonna work and what it's gonna look like.

1269
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some considerations now and coaches challenges when

1270
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: they throw the flag how they throw it because there's

1271
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 1: always a sky judge up there looking at it, so

1272
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: they don't. It will cut down ostensibly, perhaps cut down

1273
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: on the number of challenges because on a play where

1274
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 1: the sky judge can say, wait a minute, he'd dropped

1275
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:37,799
Speaker 1: that ball, it's incompletion, the coach won't be as ready

1276
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: to challenge because he'll wait until the sky judge you

1277
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: get to look at it before he does that. So

1278
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: interesting stuff here tonight. Is that on that as well?

1279
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: And all that's all that's unpredictable too. All right, great

Speaker 1: football player, earning USA Today All American honors my senior year.

1297
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith. It is not Bruce Smith. We actually, we

1298
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: actually had another Virginia guy last week in Ruben Brown.

1299
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 1: This isn't Bruce Smith. It's not Bruce Smith Blue number two.

1300
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: Those high school accolades allowed me to accept a scholarship

1301
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: to UCLA, where I became famously known for a hit

1302

Speaker 1: in the Sun Bowl over Illinois by a score of

1307
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: six to three. I was also named All Pac ten

1308
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: and an All American. Carol Tucker is not Earl Tucker.

1309
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Clue number four. I became a fifth round pick of

Speaker 1: the Bills in nineteen ninety two and proceeded to spend

1311

1318
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:11,599

Speaker 1: not a problem at all. And enjoy it. Enjoy it.

1324
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that you didn't get some my earlier clues. Yeah,

1325
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 1: well I was too. I am too now. Although I

1326
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 1: did not remember you were from Virginia Beach, I knew

1327
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 1: Bruce was, I didn't know you were. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bruce.

1328
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 1: Bruce is obviously the first name that everybody thinks so

1329
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 1: when they think of Virginia football players. But yeah, yeah,

1330
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 1: came from Who was the runt the back that you

1331
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 1: hit in from Nebraska? What was his name? That was

1332
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:59,719
Speaker 1: Dana Brinson? Yeah, I actually I went and looked it up, Steve.

1333
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: It's a slobber knocker. Man. Oh, we've got it. Here

1334
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: it is, We've got it. Here's the shot hold on

1335
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 1: oh man, Oh yeah, that's a good one. You know.

1336
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: You know what's funny about that hit is that I

1337
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 1: actually hit somebody else like the play before that. Um

1338
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 1: that I like that. I like that hit better than

1339
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 1: than actually that really but this one, yeah, yeah it was.

1340
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:31,720
Speaker 1: There was the screens. They were trying to throw a

1341
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: screen and I was playing like the boundary corner and

1342
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 1: I timed it just right and I just blewed this

1343
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: guy up. Yeah. And the best part is Keith Jackson

1344
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: is doing the play by play on this. Yeah, yeah,

1345
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Keith Jackson. And they actually show they show here's the

1346
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: now he didn't get up for a while, but they

1347
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: show the field view here on the replay, on the

1348
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: last replay, and this is where you truly appreciate the

1349
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: impact of the hit. The SlowMo I mean, you don't

1350
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: want to talk about a coils that we're watching the

1351
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 1: guy's body just completely recoil. You're fully off your feet,

1352
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: You've launched yourself like this is it. Can't make those

1353
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 1: hits anymore, guys, can you? Those are the old right there? Yeah,

1354
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: but he looked like a blow up dummy. It's that's

1355
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 1: not an illegal hit because no, it's not total clean

1356
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: shoulder to chess. So it's a legal hit. I mean

1357
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 1: it's totally clean. Um, there's nothing. I mean, that's just

1358
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: good football right there. Um. The thing that I don't

1359
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:33,760
Speaker 1: think Matt a lot of people remember, is the interception

1360
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: that you made in the Week two game in ninety three,

1361
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, the big it was all build is a

1362
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: big rematch, super Bowl rematch, blah blah blah. Was the

1363
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: interception you made was off your former your former college teammate,

1364
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: Troy Hickman. Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's my uh my,

1365
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: my most one of my most memorable plays from playing NFL.

1366
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: Just just the kind of the whole context of that

1367
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 1: game being kind of like the game after the Super

1368
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 1: Bowl and then uh just the importance of trying to

1369
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 1: get off to a good start at the season and

1370
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: then the rematch with them, and then having it be Troy,

1371
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, who was obviously a top tier quarterback at

1372
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,920
Speaker 1: that time. So yeah, that was in to stay the

1373
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 1: game of force. So yeah, the whole context of it

1374
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 1: was one of the best most normal players have you

1375
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 1: have you ever had an opportunity to talk to Troy

1376
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 1: about that? I Mean, there's not many times, there's not

1377
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,560
Speaker 1: many times that you get to rib your college quarterback,

1378
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: and I gotta imagine, like you see him, you got

1379
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that, Matt. But if you know,

1380
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 1: unfortunately I never really had the chance to to kind

1381
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: of meet him and have a sit down and talk

1382
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 1: with them other than the next Super Bowl that we

1383
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: played in. But I would. I would, uh certainly if

1384
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: I do get the chance, that will be one of

1385
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: the things that I'll bring up because you were You

1386
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,920
Speaker 1: were quoted after that game saying, I was so excited

1387
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 1: I could I could have run a mile because you

1388
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 1: ran about sixty yards out of the end zone after

1389
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 1: made the catch. I was I was ready to go.

1390
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: I was up and running. I was ready our team,

1391
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: I felt like, Matt, maybe you remember this too. I

1392
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:15,640
Speaker 1: remember our team was really really keyed up for that

1393
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 1: game because they just embarrassed us in the Super Bowl. Um.

1394
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: You know at the end of the last season. This

1395
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: was Week two and Emmett was holding out. Emmett Smith

1396
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 1: was yeah, yeah, and that game d a really good

1397
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: football game. It was. It was, yeah, yeah, I remember that.

1398
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 1: Um yeah, and I think that game helped well. Actually,

1399
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: Emmett should, uh, you know, give us a little something

1400
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: on the side, because we hoped feel that we contract

1401
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, it certainly turned up the heat on

1402
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Umah after they lost. You guys, not to

1403
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,679
Speaker 1: mention the fact that I think all the points because

1404
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 1: it was only a thirteen to ten final, It was

1405
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:01,760
Speaker 1: a defensive struggle and the cowboy, you guys got to

1406
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: play off of almost all your points came off of

1407
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: Dallas turnovers in winning that game. So yeah, it certainly

1408
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: put the screws to Jerry Jones, who probably was not

1409
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 1: all too happy the game ended the way that he

1410
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 1: did because he probably realized Emma's saying, I'm going to

1411
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: have to pay him. Emma signed just after that game.

1412
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: Emmett signed his contract just after that game ended. You

1413
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:22,759
Speaker 1: know that. The next week he was back on the field.

1414
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: So Matt, what are you doing now? How are you

1415
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: keeping busy nowadays? What I'm doing now? I am working

1416
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: for a company called as Life. They actually help former

1417
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:39,679
Speaker 1: professional players from various leagues help them transition or access

1418
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 1: resources helped them transition successfully with their career development needs.

1419
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:48,280
Speaker 1: Some guys they are looking to continue to education on

1420
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: computer degrees, so we helped them access their resources from

1421
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: their respective leagues to get that done. Or we primarily

1422
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: work with a lot of NFL guys, former NFL players

1423
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: who are looking to to to the next career um

1424
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: and we helped him you know, transition to those particular careers.

1425
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: We helped them with resumes LinkedIn networking, uh, preparing for interviews,

1426
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:16,759
Speaker 1: things like that. So it's a it's a career development

1427
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: piece something that I love because I'm working still working

1428
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 1: with kind of that sports realm, but just kind of

1429
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 1: the post sports plane UM time period, which obviously is

1430
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: very important as well. What is UM? What would you say?

1431
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,879
Speaker 1: Can you think of a couple of good success stories

1432
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 1: that kind of make you feel good about what you're doing? Sure? Well, Uh,

1433
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 1: one of the ones, one of the most recent ones,

1434
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 1: is just having a guy who was UM. He had

1435
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: retired and I think twenty fourteen fifteen, was doing some

1436
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,680
Speaker 1: some things with his nonprofit things like that, and he

1437
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 1: was just really kind of wanting to kind of he

1438
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: got that the coaching bug. He wanted to get into

1439
01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: coaching UM. Obviously he didn't have any experience really tough

1440
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: coaching is a highly super competitive field I'll try to

1441
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: get into UM. So we just I just sat down

1442
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:11,600
Speaker 1: with him, worked on his his resume, worked on his

1443
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:14,759
Speaker 1: cover letter, M and worked on you know, some networking

1444
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 1: strategies as well as UM, just some other strategies that

1445
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: try to get him connected or get that foot in

1446
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:26,759
Speaker 1: the door into coaching. UM and right now he connected

1447
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 1: with someone utilizing a contact within his network. He's now

1448
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 1: UM a volunteer coach at Rice University. UM, so he's

1449
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: that's a great start to his career to become an

1450
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,640
Speaker 1: officer line coach. Good for you, man, I'm glad you're

1451
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: doing good bye. You know your fellow brethren from the NFL.

1452
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: That is awesome. Yeah, yeah, I love it. I don't

1453
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 1: know Steve that we're ever going to see a safety

1454
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: with a neck role in this league ever again. Matt

1455
01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:02,560
Speaker 1: Darby is the last of a dying breed. But I

1456
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun watching the highlights back when

1457
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 1: I was trying to research and do some clues that

1458
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: would keep Steve guessing here, and I was relatively successful

1459
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: there before I kind of gave away the farm. Yeah,

1460
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. Yeah, that was great. It's great

1461
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 1: talking to you, Matt. Thanks so much for spending time

1462
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 1: with us. And I appreciate what you're doing for the

1463
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: guys who've retired, helping them transition. It's a it's a

1464
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:26,599
Speaker 1: notable and honorable thing. And I know former guys like

1465
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 1: me really appreciate guys who like you, who have committed

1466
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: themselves to what they used to do, and guys who

1467
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: were making the transition like you did. So thanks for

1468
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: that and I appreciate it. Yeah man, Yes, Steve, and

1469
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 1: thanks for you for everything that you've done, and only

1470
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 1: for our team back back in the day, but also

1471
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo community what you're doing now. Thanks for

1472
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: the time, Matt, We appreciate it. Thanks for joining us

1473
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: here on task. Your teammate, thank you, have a great day.

1474
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 1: That's a former Bill safety Matt Darby played four years

1475
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 1: here with the Bills. We choke you as most famous

1476
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:02,599
Speaker 1: play as a Bill by are Um. But he second

1477
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 1: year as a starter, he had four picks for the team.

1478
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 1: That was in ninety three, I think or ninety four

1479
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,679
Speaker 1: was his second year as a full time starter and

1480
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:13,799
Speaker 1: had four picks that year. I think he had seven

1481
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:16,759
Speaker 1: total in his Bill's career before he moved on. Played

1482
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:20,080
Speaker 1: two years for Arizona and then called at a career

1483
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: after six seasons UH in the NFL. But that was

1484
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 1: a good UCLA team he was on in college man

1485
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,759
Speaker 1: Troy Aigman at quarterback. They had a slew a talent

1486
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 1: at the skill positions and their defense was pretty good

1487
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 1: back then too. So man, that he's saying he liked

1488
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: the hit he had earlier in the game better than

1489
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 1: that one. I mean that was that was and look

1490
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 1: at that. That's that's pretty cool. Yeah, and turn up

1491
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,720
Speaker 1: the volume. That was Keith Jackson's doing the game. So

1492
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 1: here's the best part about it, Steve. So the poor

1493
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: tailback is on the ground and he's getting tended to,

1494
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 1: and so I don't know what happened, but ABC's not

1495
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 1: sending it to commercial. So so the color commentators like, oh,

1496
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 1: he's down and he look, it doesn't look like he's

1497
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: getting up, And instead of talking about the play further,

1498
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 1: Keith Jackson just starts reading some sponsors stuff. Well, you know,

1499
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: if you got out to the that he's just like,

1500
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:17,480
Speaker 1: what is happening on the field has suddenly become immaterial

1501
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 1: because nothing is happening because this poor guy's down on

1502
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 1: the field after Matt Darby has probably cracked a rib

1503
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: or two on this guy. Yeah, the the cavalier nature

1504
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,640
Speaker 1: with which injuries and stuff were treated back in the

1505
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: day is astounding now. Yeah, but your Matt's right that

1506
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: it was a clean hit. Although it was it was

1507
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 1: absolutely brutal. It wasn't against the rules, and man, man,

1508
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: and you can just tell the entire the Nebraska bench

1509
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 1: was kind of totally done with that game, and the

1510
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:53,759
Speaker 1: UCLA bench was hoping that game would go on forever

1511
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: because they were all all all over it. Then it

1512
01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 1: was just the way the guy's body recoils is just

1513
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 1: tremendous hit. Yeah, and as you said, totally illegal. Great

1514
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,920

1521
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 1: the obi L fan Friday mail bag. Ben Voland who's

1522
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 1: been a guest on this show? Patriots reporter NFL writer

1523
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 1: for the Boston Globe, retweeted an Instagram post from Cam

1524
01:28:56,360 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 1: Newton that reads, I'm far from perfect, but loyalty I

1525
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:08,680
Speaker 1: deserve it. Hashtag photo dump, hashtag shine through shade, hashtag

1526
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:17,639
Speaker 1: not for likes. Just for life love naturally, people are

1527
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 1: going to try to read into these things, which steve

1528
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:26,759
Speaker 1: More and more have become more frequent from athletes where

1529
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 1: there are these cryptic posts and then everybody comes out

1530
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 1: of the woodwork to try to interpret them and nobody

1531
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 1: knows quite what they're getting at. Is this an example

1532
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton not being happy that everybody's gogab out

1533
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 1: the way Mac Jones played yesterday? Has he been told

1534
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:49,759
Speaker 1: something by the team already? Nobody knows what it means.

1535
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 1: But what is the impetus for putting out a post

1536
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,679
Speaker 1: like this? I don't know. Or it could be something

1537
01:29:55,720 --> 01:30:01,639
Speaker 1: in his personal life, right, I mean, who knows? Um,

1538
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: he's got a he's got a T shirt on Hooters

1539
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 1: for meddling Columbia. I mean, what is that? You know?

1540
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:10,559
Speaker 1: I mean so yeah, I don't know what kind of

1541
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 1: loyalty he's looking for there. But okay, what yeah, what

1542
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 1: are we talking about here? It's um and it's the

1543
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 1: day after the first preseason game. Yeah, And I don't know.

1544
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he took and Tech took some criticism after

1545
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:28,920
Speaker 1: that game last night. Maybe maybe he he got maybe

1546
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:33,440
Speaker 1: he got heated up in the aftermath of the postgame

1547
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 1: press coverage and uh, and didn't like something that was

1548
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:41,639
Speaker 1: written about him? Who knows? That would be my guess um,

1549
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 1: But of course we're all guessing. And that's what these

1550
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:47,640
Speaker 1: cryptic tweets prompt is a lot of guesswork, which is

1551
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:49,880
Speaker 1: not my favorite thing. But I mean, I have to

1552
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:54,160
Speaker 1: take this a step further, Steve, because I have to

1553
01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 1: know these professional athletes. You know, these Instagram posts that

1554
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:01,439
Speaker 1: are becoming more and more popular. They're often accompanied by

1555
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:05,640
Speaker 1: a series of candid photos. Okay, and and there are

1556
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:07,760
Speaker 1: two in this Cam Newton post. We've seen it with

1557
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 1: several others, including Bills players. I need to know do

1558
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: they hire a photographer for these? Is there a significant

1559
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 1: other tasked with taking three and four candid photos? Like

1560
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 1: that's not just some dude like has he got somebody

1561
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 1: on a ride along here to take photos of him?

1562
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:31,080
Speaker 1: And then he's like all right, like this one, this one,

1563
01:31:31,080 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: and this one, let's use that for the post. Like

1564
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this hat on with this T shirt

1565
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:38,920
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna look off into the distance here and

1566
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:42,680
Speaker 1: you snap a couple Like are we hiring people for this?

1567
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 1: Is it just somebody's entourage? Buddy, what are we talking

1568
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 1: about here? Well, I'm pretty sure he's not putting that

1569
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 1: phone on a you know, on a stand and remote

1570
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 1: switching it, right, So he's got to have somebody there.

1571
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 1: And I imagine, I mean, when you're out even if

1572
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 1: you're out there with Cam new you know you got

1573
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,000
Speaker 1: some guy like Cam Newton who's a rock star or whatever,

1574
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 1: you're not taking candid photos of him every where you go.

1575
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta say, hey, let me take a

1576
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:10,160
Speaker 1: picture of you. Right, No, you don't say hey, let

1577
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:12,759
Speaker 1: me take a picture of you. You say, the guys

1578
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:17,479
Speaker 1: that take my picture? Yeah, right, yeah, it's it's anything

1579
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:23,040
Speaker 1: but candid. It's fake candid. Um, Like I'm sure, Well,

1580
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:26,200
Speaker 1: he's him and a host never appears. He never appears

1581
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 1: anywhere publicly unless he's in costume. Right, well, right, I

1582
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:34,680
Speaker 1: would be the first to say he's big on peacocking,

1583
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:38,839
Speaker 1: he's big on that, um. But at the same time,

1584
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 1: he is not alone. I mean, there are guys that

1585
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:46,759
Speaker 1: that have four or five they have like a photo

1586
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:51,599
Speaker 1: reel on a post, and right it's just like, can't

1587
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:54,320
Speaker 1: play any more games, And then there's five photos of

1588
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 1: the guy randomly and they're all candids. Nobody's even looking

1589
01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 1: at the camera. And I don't know. They're in their

1590
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 1: new sneakers, they're feeling good. I don't know, like somebody

1591
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:06,600
Speaker 1: has to it. Maybe I'm I'm just maybe I'm just

1592
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 1: too old to understand this. But I I think I'm

1593
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: most surprised that they may in fact need to hire

1594
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 1: a photographer to help them with these because some of

1595
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:20,320
Speaker 1: these photos are very well done. I'm just gonna say

1596
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 1: they look like they're professionally shot. You know, another one

1597
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 1: who does that is Russ Wilson. He does a lot

1598
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 1: of that. He Yeah, there's a bunch of like he's

1599
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 1: just football players. Either, it's it's celebrities, it's it's you

1600
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:41,400
Speaker 1: know people, so but like fashionable with a Well that's

1601
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 1: the thing. And I'll say this, Brownie, what it seems

1602
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:46,280
Speaker 1: to be is, now that we talk about it, it

1603
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 1: seems to be a response to whatever fan base they have,

1604
01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 1: a response to the public perception about what's going on

1605
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: with this person, and it's it's trying to set the

1606
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:02,240
Speaker 1: record straight in some way, shape or form in that

1607
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 1: celebrity's heart, right, so they feel like there's a misperception

1608
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 1: of them outside in the public or something that the

1609
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 1: public is missing. In this case, cam Newton has been

1610
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 1: betrayed by somebody because they weren't loyal to it. Yeah,

1611
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:18,599
Speaker 1: and he's letting he's letting the public know that he's

1612
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 1: been wrong. Right, So there's some message they got to

1613
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: get out about some wrong that has been usually some

1614
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 1: wrong that has been afflicted them or a misconception about

1615
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 1: who and what they are at any given moment. But

1616
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:33,880
Speaker 1: they have to write it in a way that is

1617
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,599
Speaker 1: cryptic and vague, and then everybody else has to read

1618
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 1: between the lines, and you end up causing a controversy

1619
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 1: there might be even larger than the issue that the

1620
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:46,080
Speaker 1: person that you're dealing with in the first place. I

1621
01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:48,679
Speaker 1: just don't get it. I think that's part of the deal.

1622
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:51,680
Speaker 1: I think that's part of it. They won't be cryptic

1623
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:55,479
Speaker 1: because if they're not cryptics, whatever person that is involved

1624
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:58,720
Speaker 1: in this, what other entities involved in this has to

1625
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 1: respond to it. And they want they don't want that happened.

1626
01:35:02,439 --> 01:35:05,760
Speaker 1: They want the public to respond to it in yeah,

1627
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 1: and hope they can get a public on their side

1628
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:12,360
Speaker 1: in whatever disappointment they have. That's wherever it is. All

1629
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 1: I can say is the only pleasure this gives me

1630
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 1: is knowing it's probably driving Bill Belichick nuts. So that

1631
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: is the only delight I take. In this post by

1632

01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 1: you did your careers cross pass there? Did you play

1659
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:21,880
Speaker 1: against Loomis Brown? You did? Right? Uh? Yeah, I think so, Yeah,

1660
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:25,759
Speaker 1: I think. I mean he played eighteen years, so I believe.

1661
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:29,559
Speaker 1: I believe it's the same era. Really, if I think

1662
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, I'm sure you're really quick. But yes,

1663
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 1: eighty five to two thousand and two. Oh, you guys

1664
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:39,480
Speaker 1: came in at the same time. How about that? Yeah,

1665
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:43,320
Speaker 1: same year we came in. He probably got picked ahead

1666
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 1: of me. I'm guessing. Yeah, I'll see if I can find.

1667
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:49,960
Speaker 1: I'll see if I can find when he went in

1668
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:53,679
Speaker 1: the draft. Um, And I'll look that up and check.

1669
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:57,120
Speaker 1: But wow, yeah, eighty five to two thousand and two, Um,

1670
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 1: that is that's a run man, I mean, especially an

1671
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 1: offensive line. I mean, that's he was a first. He

1672
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 1: was the sixth pick in the draft in eighty five, Steve,

1673
01:38:08,040 --> 01:38:10,840
Speaker 1: So you are correct he was picked higher than you. Um,

1674
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:14,439
Speaker 1: he was the what pick, the sixth pick in the

1675
01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:18,559
Speaker 1: entire draft, the sixth Yeah, oh my god, he was

1676
01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: taking two hundred spots, two hundred and twenty spots ahead

1677
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 1: of me. Yeah, okay, probably were way you know what

1678
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 1: we you know they took the big gamble. Tasker might

1679
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:31,639
Speaker 1: still be there. We better take Glomas Brown with this pick. Yeah,

1680
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:35,639
Speaker 1: and task will still be there. Hit in the ninth round. Well,

1681
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 1: I will say this, Steve, Nah, he'll be there in

1682
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 1: the tenth too. The Lions certainly got the Lions certainly

1683
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 1: got their money's worth there on that pick. Eighteen years

1684
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:46,680
Speaker 1: so I believe he's in their ring of honor or

1685
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 1: whatever they have there. And he had a fantastic career.

1686
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:53,320
Speaker 1: He actually when he went to the Giants later in

1687
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:55,080
Speaker 1: his career, he had played for four teams. I think

1688
01:38:55,120 --> 01:39:02,040
Speaker 1: something gotcha like that. Um, became friends with Glynn Parker. Oh, no, kid,

1689
01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:05,679
Speaker 1: former Buffalo. Well he played were they with the Giants together?

1690
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,080
Speaker 1: I believe so I think so. I think that's right.

1691
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:12,720
Speaker 1: I could be wrong about that, but yeah, I think

1692
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:15,800
Speaker 1: that's true because he spent three seasons with the Arizona

1693
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:20,519
Speaker 1: Cardinals late in his career, and then one year with Cleveland,

1694
01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:22,519
Speaker 1: two years with the Giants, and then finished up with

1695
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in two thousand and two at age thirty nine. Right, Yeah, that,

1696
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's putting in some work. And he played

1697
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:37,160
Speaker 1: in eleven games in his final season. He was a

1698
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 1: starter until his final season. Yea. His career stats look

1699
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:45,000
Speaker 1: like a phone book. I mean they're long. There's a

1700
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:47,760
Speaker 1: long list of career stats for him. I mean he

1701
01:39:47,840 --> 01:39:51,400
Speaker 1: just you know, most of its games played, you know. So, Yeah,

1702
01:39:51,439 --> 01:39:53,519
Speaker 1: he was with the Giants in two thousand when they

1703
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:59,360
Speaker 1: played the Ravens and the Super Bowl in Tampa. Yeah,

1704
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:01,760
Speaker 1: and they got beat by the Ravens. He played in

1705
01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 1: that and that's the one where Glenn Parker. That's a

1706
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 1: part of the team that Glenn Parker was a part

1707
01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 1: of as well. So yeah, they do have him as

1708
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:10,600
Speaker 1: a one time Super Bowl champ. Now I've got to

1709
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 1: figure out where that Oh, that would be Tampa Bay

1710
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 1: two two, Tampa Bay. There's a way to John, Yeah,

1711
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:24,959
Speaker 1: but John Cruden, Wow, seven Pro Bowls, one All Pro. Yeah,

1712
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 1: that's a heck of a career. Man, that's a heck

1713
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:29,040
Speaker 1: of a career. All right, So we'll catch up with

1714
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 1: Lomas shortly. While we wait to hook up with him,

1715
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 1: we'll get back to the ob L fan mail bag

1716
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:41,599
Speaker 1: where we're up to seth Here on the list, who

1717
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:44,760
Speaker 1: says of all the bubble players, who do you think

1718
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:46,519
Speaker 1: has the best chance to make the team with a

1719
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:53,759
Speaker 1: good showing in these three preseason games. Hodgens, Kumerow, Stevenson, Zimmer.

1720
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 1: Those are a few that I can think of, So

1721
01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:02,160
Speaker 1: let's let's work our way through those. Steve Hodgins, He's right,

1722
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 1: Hodgins is a guy that is a bubble player. Hodgens

1723
01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:07,599
Speaker 1: and Kumarro to me, are a lot like the same guy.

1724
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that Hodgins can play special teams as

1725
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,120
Speaker 1: good as Kumaro can, because Kumaro can play. He's got

1726
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 1: good speed, good size, and he did it last year,

1727
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:21,880
Speaker 1: so he's got a leg up in that department. Probably Stevenson,

1728
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 1: he has got to he has got to flash big time.

1729
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:30,720
Speaker 1: I think Isaiah McKenzie has a leg up on the

1730
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:37,480
Speaker 1: return game spot unless he fumbles it away or Stevenson

1731
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:41,439
Speaker 1: just can't be stopped. I think Isaiah Hodgins is that

1732
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:46,759
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think Stevenson is probably a practice squad guys. Zimmer.

1733
01:41:47,479 --> 01:41:49,679
Speaker 1: That's a tough one too, because there is a lot

1734
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 1: of depth now and a lot of competition the defensive line.

1735
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,439
Speaker 1: All those Zimmer played extremely well. And you know, I'll

1736
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: tell you this. He's good at the run, run game

1737
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 1: defense and he and he pursues down the line. We

1738
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 1: saw in the play that he made against cam Newton

1739
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 1: in the win against New England. The guys Scott speed.

1740
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 1: We saw in the playoffs when he was running down

1741
01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:13,120
Speaker 1: the field after Tyree kill. He can really run. Those

1742
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 1: physical attributes are hard to say goodbye to. But he's

1743
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:19,639
Speaker 1: at a position that's really deep, and with Starlo too

1744
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:23,040
Speaker 1: Lele coming out coming back into the fold, that he's

1745
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:25,640
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. So one of the defensive linemen that

1746
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: we're there, defensive tackles that were there last year, is out.

1747
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 1: Is that justin Zimmer automatically? Is it Harrison Phillips, is

1748
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 1: it Vernon Butler, Starlo too Lele, Who is it? Who's

1749
01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:40,719
Speaker 1: it going to be? Ed Oliver? Probably not well? So, yeah,

1750
01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:43,679
Speaker 1: I think question yeah, and I think the other layer

1751
01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 1: to the question is this, are they simply just gonna

1752
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:49,479
Speaker 1: get caught up in a numbers game. If you keep

1753
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 1: five defensive tackles, he's on the roster, I think, Zimmer.

1754
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 1: If you're only keeping four, because you have so many

1755
01:42:56,960 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 1: ends with position flexibility, who can kick inside, he could

1756
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,360
Speaker 1: be caught between a rock and a hard place and

1757
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:06,280
Speaker 1: be on the outside looking in. The same applies to Hodgens,

1758
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:09,599
Speaker 1: because I think the top four our locks. I think

1759
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 1: Mackenzie's a lock as the fifth receiver, and now Kumero,

1760
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:15,240
Speaker 1: at least as it stands right now, in my eyes,

1761
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 1: it's probably number six. So if you're not keeping seven

1762
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 1: on the active roster at receiver, Hodgens is on the

1763
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:27,280
Speaker 1: practice squad, and so too is Stevenson, probably so that

1764
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:29,000
Speaker 1: that's where the rub is and you could take it

1765
01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:33,000
Speaker 1: even a step further, go to cornerback Steve, where you've

1766
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:37,599
Speaker 1: got Levi wall Is, Tradavious White, Tarren Johnson, Dane Jackson.

1767
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 1: Those are probably your top four. So then who's in

1768
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 1: the mix for a fifth corner If you keep five,

1769
01:43:44,880 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 1: it's Wild Elijah Griffin, Wild Goose, Lewis McLeod. I mean

1770
01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: you got a cluster the guys they're going for one spot. Yeah,

1771
01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:57,720
Speaker 1: see you guy. And if you start talking about this

1772
01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:00,799
Speaker 1: brownie to get down to the cornerback, get been at

1773
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:03,679
Speaker 1: Elijah Griffin six foot but he's only a buck seventy

1774
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:08,479
Speaker 1: five McLeod is six feet but he's one hundred and

1775
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 1: ninety five. You know, if you're looking for elite traits,

1776
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 1: a guy you can coach up and who's gonna have

1777
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:20,240
Speaker 1: more top end athletically you know, he size is king,

1778
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:24,040
Speaker 1: you know. But you got guys out there like Nick McLeod,

1779
01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:27,880
Speaker 1: Cam Lewis, Rashad Wild Goose, Elijah Griffin. Those four guys,

1780
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:30,639
Speaker 1: what are they jockeying for one spot? You're thinking right

1781
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:33,320
Speaker 1: at most? Yeah, I mean this is a team that

1782
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:35,920
Speaker 1: historically there's a spot this This is a team that

1783
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 1: historically doesn't keep a lot of guys at corner because

1784
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:42,719
Speaker 1: I think they believe players like Saran Neil or position

1785
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 1: flexible enough to move out there if necessary. Um, but

1786
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:49,560
Speaker 1: you can look at safety the same way, Steve, and

1787
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:52,679
Speaker 1: where is sarand Neil and all this? Maybe Siran Neil,

1788
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean he's listed as a corner, so he might

1789
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:57,200
Speaker 1: be the fifth corner already. I don't know what those

1790
01:44:57,200 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 1: guys you're playing for. Unless you keep six corners and

1791
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 1: only four safeties, you probably keep ten dbs total. And

1792
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:06,320
Speaker 1: now it becomes a matter of what's the balance. Is

1793
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:09,000
Speaker 1: it six corners and four safeties? Is it five and five?

1794
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:12,040
Speaker 1: Do you have somebody on special teams that you absolutely

1795
01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,680
Speaker 1: need so you keep a fifth safety? Like what are

1796
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:20,559
Speaker 1: you doing there? Yeah, it's it's a chemistry exam, and

1797
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, you got to figure out a way that

1798
01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:25,519
Speaker 1: you fit in the mix. Sirrand Neil is a guy

1799
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:27,880
Speaker 1: and it's for me. And I've always thought this, it's harder.

1800
01:45:27,960 --> 01:45:30,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was always harder to play slot corner.

1801
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 1: I thought those guys always had to be fantastic athletes.

1802
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 1: That's why you see smaller guys. That's why you see

1803
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:39,040
Speaker 1: smaller receivers in there. That's why you see smaller dbs

1804
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:42,680
Speaker 1: in there, because you've got to change direction and it's

1805
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 1: about getting space and getting free in aside tight areas.

1806
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:49,000
Speaker 1: You gotta have guys that can really explode and change directions,

1807
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:53,200
Speaker 1: which lends itself to smaller guys, smaller, stronger guys. Cole

1808
01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 1: Beasley and Karen Johnson and sirand Neil is he's not small.

1809
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 1: But if you need a bigger guy in there, and

1810
01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:05,880
Speaker 1: you want to go Nickel and you got a tight

1811
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:09,280
Speaker 1: end out there instead of a Cole Beasley, siran Neil

1812
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:12,639
Speaker 1: can hang in there with that guy with the same

1813
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:14,960
Speaker 1: skill set. He can really run because because this is

1814
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:16,760
Speaker 1: a guy that was a gunner on special teams the

1815
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:19,479
Speaker 1: last two years, right, and he goes six ft two six.

1816
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:26,599
Speaker 1: It's how vast a variety of athletes you can put

1817
01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 1: out there who can really play and in what situations

1818
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 1: are they good at? Is every conceivable situation and matchup

1819
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:37,160
Speaker 1: possibility where you play a team, This team's got three

1820
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:41,120
Speaker 1: tight ends that are impossible matchups. This team's got six

1821
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:44,679
Speaker 1: wide receivers that are impossible matchup. You know, this team's

1822
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:47,960
Speaker 1: got four running backs they put out there, whatever whatever

1823
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 1: matchup mix any opponent comes up with. Do you have

1824
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:55,679
Speaker 1: the guys on your fifty three roster that you throw

1825
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:57,719
Speaker 1: out there and say we can match up the best

1826
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 1: with these guys. That's a hard question to answer. And

1827
01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:04,400
Speaker 1: you get to need guys like Serrand Neil, who can

1828
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 1: who's big, but he can play inside corner. He can

1829
01:47:07,320 --> 01:47:10,719
Speaker 1: cover kicks. You know, Trey White can go up against

1830
01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 1: a big, physical wide out and he can also he

1831
01:47:13,080 --> 01:47:16,280
Speaker 1: can also you know, play the field as well. So

1832
01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 1: you know, you got to have all these toolboxes. You

1833
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:21,320
Speaker 1: gotta have these tools in your toolbox and where they

1834
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: coming from, which guys or they are, and you're trying

1835
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:26,439
Speaker 1: to get as few of guys in that box as possible.

1836
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:29,960
Speaker 1: So if you can get all those matchups covered with

1837
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:33,400
Speaker 1: a few guys as possible, that gives you flexibility elsewhere

1838
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:35,679
Speaker 1: on your offensive lind your defensive line, you're running back, whatever,

1839
01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:37,960
Speaker 1: you can keep other guys in other positions. Yeah, but

1840
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 1: you've got to make sure your defense has enough athletes

1841
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:45,479
Speaker 1: in the back end to match up with five eligible

1842
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 1: receivers on every snack wherever they are. Yeah, And there's

1843
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 1: a budding competition at the safety spot. Josh Thomas is

1844
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:57,160
Speaker 1: the undrafted rookie from last year who was on the

1845
01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 1: practice squad all last year and now he's in a

1846
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 1: competition with Damar Hamlin, this year's sixth round draft pick.

1847
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:08,560
Speaker 1: You know who's going to be the fourth safety. I

1848
01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are of the opinion that

1849
01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:13,439
Speaker 1: Jaquan Johnson is probably the third safety now in his

1850
01:48:13,560 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 1: third season with the Bills, although I wouldn't call it

1851
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:20,519
Speaker 1: a lock. He's probably the third safety because he does

1852
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:22,400
Speaker 1: play on a lot of special teams units as well

1853
01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 1: and is consider a pretty sharp tack. But Josh Thomas

1854
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:29,280
Speaker 1: and DeMar Hamlin, neither of those guys have played in

1855
01:48:29,320 --> 01:48:32,240
Speaker 1: the NFL regular season game, even though one guy's been

1856
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:36,479
Speaker 1: here a year longer, you know. And Thomas offers size

1857
01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 1: and athleticism at the position. Hamlin does too, although he's

1858
01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:44,400
Speaker 1: not as filled out as Thomas is. But that's a

1859
01:48:44,479 --> 01:48:46,760
Speaker 1: kind I mean, it's funny we're talking about the fourth

1860
01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 1: safety competition as a position battle, but those exist. I mean,

1861
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:52,599
Speaker 1: just because they're further down the roster doesn't mean they're

1862
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:55,519
Speaker 1: just as intense. They are. And so you know, those

1863
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:58,639
Speaker 1: are two more guys that you would consider bubble players

1864
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 1: that are in the throws of him. Your position battle. Yeah,

1865
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:05,000
Speaker 1: and it's as much as it is we call it

1866
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 1: a position battle what are basically is a roster battle. Yeah,

1867
01:49:08,400 --> 01:49:11,760
Speaker 1: just to get on the fifty three. And to a

1868
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:15,759
Speaker 1: lot of people, that's not interesting, Um, I get it, Okay,

1869
01:49:15,800 --> 01:49:19,880
Speaker 1: You're you're all about Josh Allen, Steph Diggs and Starlowtulal

1870
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 1: and Ed Oliver and Greg Russo and all the guys

1871
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 1: are gonna see play every down. But football games are

1872
01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:28,679
Speaker 1: won by guys way down the roster a lot. And

1873
01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 1: I believe me in the conversation we had yesterday with

1874
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:37,200
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, he's not taking it for granted. They are

1875
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:40,559
Speaker 1: They are all about these five guys got to go Tuesday.

1876
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 1: Five guys. And it's guys that the coaching staff has

1877
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:48,120
Speaker 1: invested in, the training staff, has invested in the medical staff,

1878
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning, the sports science. Everybody in the

1879
01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:53,599
Speaker 1: building hasn't been investing in these guys trying to get

1880
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:55,479
Speaker 1: them good enough and hoping they can have a career.

1881
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,600
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to go. There's just no two ways about it.

1882
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 1: And this and this is hard. It's hard, really hard.

1883
01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:04,559
Speaker 1: So Brad in the mail bag says, who would be

1884
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 1: a surprise cut in the wide receiver room? There was

1885
01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:09,680
Speaker 1: so much depth and a lot of strong players. I

1886
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:12,439
Speaker 1: remember when everyone was surprised they cut Fred Jackson. Could

1887
01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:14,720
Speaker 1: we see a similar situation this year? I am not

1888
01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:17,799
Speaker 1: anticipating that. I think if you want to call Isaiah

1889
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:23,400
Speaker 1: Hodgens or Marquez Stevenson a surprise, then I would put

1890
01:50:23,439 --> 01:50:26,439
Speaker 1: those names down, but they would be more a victim

1891
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:29,720
Speaker 1: of the numbers game than anything else because of what

1892
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:32,479
Speaker 1: we were just outlining a few minutes ago. Your top four,

1893
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:36,719
Speaker 1: that'd be some of these guys would be a surprise.

1894
01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:41,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, but I mean you're top Like who your

1895
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 1: top four or locks? I mean it's Digs Beasley, um

1896
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:51,000
Speaker 1: Steve Sanders, and then Dave Davis, and then Mackenzie's probably

1897
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 1: your five, And right now I would say Kumarro's you're six,

1898
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:57,559
Speaker 1: And I don't see. Here's the thing. I think Kumarro

1899
01:50:57,760 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 1: might be the fourth or fifth wide receiver. McKenzie's your

1900
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:03,880
Speaker 1: first kickoff punt return guy, so Kumaro may be the

1901
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:07,599
Speaker 1: next guy on the field unless it's Beasley who goes down.

1902
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:10,599
Speaker 1: Then Isaiah McKenzie may come in and play slot because

1903
01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:13,800
Speaker 1: he's better suited for physically, But Kumaro may be backing

1904
01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 1: up Dave Davismanuel Sanders and Steph Diggs. And if Beasley

1905
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 1: goes down, you know it's McKenzie who goes in, But

1906
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:28,080
Speaker 1: anybody else gets tweaked. It's Jake Kumero right now or

1907
01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:35,280
Speaker 1: or Isaiah Hodgens. Those two guys I think are the

1908
01:51:35,360 --> 01:51:42,960
Speaker 1: crux of where the question marks begin. Kumaro Hodgens. I

1909
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:47,320
Speaker 1: don't know how that's going to shake out. I really don't. Well,

1910
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:50,200
Speaker 1: I think preseason will be the opportunity for one of

1911
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:55,200
Speaker 1: those guys to separate themselves from the others that they're

1912
01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 1: in direct competition with. That's what these that's where these

1913
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:01,080
Speaker 1: preseason games serve players on the back half of the roster,

1914
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:04,439
Speaker 1: maybe more effectively than in any way that they could

1915
01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 1: help a starter, because they really give them an opportunity

1916
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:11,760
Speaker 1: to separate themselves from their direct competition while oh, by

1917
01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:14,960
Speaker 1: the way, putting good play on film for not only

1918
01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 1: the Bills, but thirty one other teams in the NFL.

1919
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:21,080
Speaker 1: If they don't make this roster, that's right, yeah, And

1920
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean they're all going to be out of

1921
01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:24,840
Speaker 1: the league. It just means there's no room for him

1922
01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:27,960
Speaker 1: on this roster at the current moment. Right Well, I mean,

1923
01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 1: which is something. And I'll tell you this, there's some

1924
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:35,240
Speaker 1: gamesmanship in here too, Brownie. These first cuts. Most teams

1925
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:39,719
Speaker 1: are not gonna there's some probably some fat on every roster,

1926
01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:43,960
Speaker 1: most of them, not all of them. And there's a

1927
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:47,840
Speaker 1: chance that the Bills would cut a guy this week

1928
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,640
Speaker 1: and tell him to stay ready because they want to

1929
01:52:51,640 --> 01:52:53,559
Speaker 1: bring him back to the practice squad. And they think

1930
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:56,599
Speaker 1: he's the one who is so far under the radar

1931
01:52:56,640 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 1: for other teams that he'll slide through the the week

1932
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 1: and won't get signed by another team, only be brought

1933
01:53:03,840 --> 01:53:08,679
Speaker 1: back by the Bills, Right, that kind of thing, that's

1934
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:12,759
Speaker 1: a possibility. You cut a guy early so other teams

1935
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:15,800
Speaker 1: think you don't think too much of him, only to

1936
01:53:15,800 --> 01:53:17,400
Speaker 1: bring him back to be on the practice squad or

1937
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:20,960
Speaker 1: whatever to help you get better and develop him later. Yeah,

1938
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:24,880
Speaker 1: there was one thing that I spotted this morning. ESPN's

1939
01:53:25,120 --> 01:53:29,320
Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler was doing a preview of Bill's Lions tonight,

1940
01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:32,599
Speaker 1: and he said his sources are telling him that while

1941
01:53:32,720 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is not playing tonight in this preseason game,

1942
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 1: that he will play at some point in the preseason,

1943
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:43,639
Speaker 1: although he did not say when, and he is reporting

1944
01:53:43,640 --> 01:53:46,280
Speaker 1: that the impetus for that is to see Josh Allen

1945
01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:53,720
Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Sanders get some cohesion to their connection in

1946
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:55,519
Speaker 1: the passing game. That would be one of the main

1947
01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:59,040
Speaker 1: emphasis for getting Josh some playing time at some point

1948
01:53:59,120 --> 01:54:03,320
Speaker 1: here in the preseason. We saw yesterday the Chargers pretty

1949
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:06,280
Speaker 1: much said Justin Herbert is not taking the field in

1950
01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:10,000
Speaker 1: the preseason. We've seen other quarterbacks labeled as such, Matthew Stafford,

1951
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and a couple of others Joe Burrow. So

1952
01:54:15,280 --> 01:54:18,559
Speaker 1: Josh will play at some point, according to Jeremy Fowler's report,

1953
01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:24,280
Speaker 1: we just don't know exactly what. Right. That doesn't surprise me.

1954
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:26,639
Speaker 1: I don't think Sean mcdermot's going to shy away from

1955
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 1: getting these guys some live reps, no question about it.

1956
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:34,800
Speaker 1: But in fact he may. He may end up doing

1957
01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:38,080
Speaker 1: it just like the regular four four game preseason where

1958
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:40,480
Speaker 1: this third preseason game, guy's gonna go in past halftime

1959
01:54:40,480 --> 01:54:42,400
Speaker 1: to get him sharp. They still have a lot of

1960
01:54:42,440 --> 01:54:45,240
Speaker 1: time before the openers, so if anybody gets a little

1961
01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:49,960
Speaker 1: bit tweaked or whatever, you know, they have time to

1962
01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:53,960
Speaker 1: get over a twisted ankle or whatever. So I wouldn't

1963
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:55,880
Speaker 1: be surprised to be handled it exactly like he has

1964
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 1: in past years where they had four preseason games and

1965
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 1: then the last season game it'll just be a wash

1966
01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:05,040
Speaker 1: and they won't they won't have to play it. Yeah,

1967
01:55:05,080 --> 01:55:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean that that seems reasonable to me. I'm not

1968
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:13,120
Speaker 1: as afraid of playing guys in the preseason as obviously

1969
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:15,160
Speaker 1: some people are. And and I know a lot of

1970
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:18,080
Speaker 1: it's hyperbole. People are like, you know, wrap him in

1971
01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:20,040
Speaker 1: bubble wrap that kind of stuff, which you know is

1972
01:55:20,080 --> 01:55:24,120
Speaker 1: trying to be funny, and I get it, but I'm

1973
01:55:24,440 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm mind. These guys are football players. Let him play.

1974
01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 1: They'll be all right. I don't want to be cavalier

1975
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:32,440
Speaker 1: about it. But if they go out there and you

1976
01:55:32,440 --> 01:55:34,440
Speaker 1: tell them exactly how long they're gonna play, they'll go

1977
01:55:34,480 --> 01:55:36,520
Speaker 1: out there and do it. Um, I think, and I've

1978
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:39,560
Speaker 1: said a ton. The only time you get into a

1979
01:55:39,560 --> 01:55:42,280
Speaker 1: problem where guy is out there like he shouldn't be

1980
01:55:42,320 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 1: out there is when he doesn't know long he's gonna

1981
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:48,040
Speaker 1: be out there. Tell him you're gonna play fifteen plays.

1982
01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:51,160
Speaker 1: When that fifteenth play comes, you're out. That's it. At

1983
01:55:51,200 --> 01:55:56,600
Speaker 1: least he knows. At least he knows. So when you

1984
01:55:56,640 --> 01:56:00,120
Speaker 1: go out there not knowing, that's a problem. But if

1985
01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:01,880
Speaker 1: you go out there knowing exactly what's going on, you're

1986
01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:03,120
Speaker 1: gonna play till the end of the game. Are you're

1987
01:56:03,120 --> 01:56:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna go play past halftime? Go out there and play that.

1988
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm I don't you know, can't live your life like that.

1989
01:56:09,720 --> 01:56:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you gotta get these guys ready. They were,

1990
01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:14,640
Speaker 1: and I don't want now. It was a different atmosphere

1991
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:17,760
Speaker 1: around the league last year, Brownie, because nobody had preseason games.

1992
01:56:18,240 --> 01:56:19,960
Speaker 1: And I'll say it again, I said it earlier in

1993
01:56:19,960 --> 01:56:23,680
Speaker 1: the show. The Bill showed up very ready. Sean McDermott

1994
01:56:23,680 --> 01:56:26,240
Speaker 1: and his staff. You got to you gotta give them kudos.

1995
01:56:26,840 --> 01:56:30,440
Speaker 1: This team, this Buffalo Bills team showed up razor sharp

1996
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:34,960
Speaker 1: to open the season. Razor sharp. I mean they were

1997
01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:39,520
Speaker 1: on it from the word go. They were hanging points

1998
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:46,280
Speaker 1: on people from week one. And so if they feel

1999
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:47,760
Speaker 1: like they need to do some things to get these

2000
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:50,120
Speaker 1: guys sharp again. Now now they were playing against the

2001
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:52,520
Speaker 1: Jets and just didn't have any preseason games either, So

2002
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:55,240
Speaker 1: you know how ready are they gonna be with preseason

2003
01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 1: games that end with a new head coach. Same thing

2004
01:56:57,800 --> 01:57:02,560
Speaker 1: with with Pittsburgh Steelers. You know they gotta get ready

2005
01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:04,760
Speaker 1: to play. Are they gonna be ready? Yeah? You think

2006
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 1: Mike Thomlin's gonna have those guys pretty ready to play.

2007
01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:09,320
Speaker 1: So you got to get your guys up. I don't

2008
01:57:09,320 --> 01:57:11,720
Speaker 1: think he's sitting starters all the way through the preseason.

2009
01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:17,720
Speaker 1: You've got to win games, and that means getting ready,

2010
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:22,600
Speaker 1: really ready for Week one. And I don't think. I

2011
01:57:22,600 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 1: don't think you you know, you just coast in there

2012
01:57:24,640 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 1: and think you just roll these guys out there after

2013
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, running around in shorts and shells for two weeks.

2014
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna happen. So I think you

2015
01:57:32,560 --> 01:57:34,440
Speaker 1: gotta get You gotta get Josh Outen out there. You

2016
01:57:34,440 --> 01:57:36,880
Speaker 1: gotta get Manuel Sanders out there, digs, all of them,

2017
01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:39,560
Speaker 1: all of them, the first offensive line. You want those

2018
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:41,120
Speaker 1: guys sharp and ready. You want them to have as

2019
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:44,320
Speaker 1: many reps together as you can, particularly if there's a

2020
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:46,560
Speaker 1: chance they might have a different five than you thought

2021
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:49,280
Speaker 1: you were gonna have. You better get those guys out

2022
01:57:49,280 --> 01:57:53,200
Speaker 1: there and getting them reps. So you know, your left

2023
01:57:53,200 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 1: tackle hasn't practiced yet, so there's a you know, you

2024
01:57:58,320 --> 01:58:00,960
Speaker 1: can't get behind an eight bowl like that because your

2025
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:04,360
Speaker 1: left tackle is he's just as important as as anybody else.

2026
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 1: You gotta get. You gotta get everybody ready. So I'm

2027
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:11,160
Speaker 1: let him play. I'm not tonight. They're not gonna play.

2028
01:58:11,200 --> 01:58:13,680
Speaker 1: Probably play tonight, you know, I get it, but you

2029
01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:15,280
Speaker 1: probably get them a little bit of their feet a

2030
01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:17,640
Speaker 1: little bit wet next week, right, and then that third

2031
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:21,280
Speaker 1: game turn them loose and let them remember what it's

2032
01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:23,040
Speaker 1: like to be out there for a bit, you know,

2033
01:58:24,040 --> 01:58:29,600
Speaker 1: because Week one really really counts. These games are all valuable, right,

2034
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 1: And I mean I do remember the Jets game. The

2035
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:35,440
Speaker 1: Bills did score twenty seven points, but they missed and

2036
01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:38,880
Speaker 1: left some points on the board. Two because while they

2037
01:58:38,880 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 1: were sharp, I don't know if they were as sharp

2038
01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:44,520
Speaker 1: as they wanted to be. Josh, Josh turned it over twice,

2039
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:46,440
Speaker 1: fumbled it twice when he was running, and he missed

2040
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:48,240
Speaker 1: John Brown threw it over his head when he was

2041
01:58:48,240 --> 01:58:51,400
Speaker 1: wide open in the end zone. So and that, and

2042
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:54,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Josh. There were other elements that weren't

2043
01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:57,240
Speaker 1: Razor sharp and apps in a preseason you would expect

2044
01:58:57,240 --> 01:58:59,600
Speaker 1: that to some degree. Fortunately it did not cost them

2045
01:58:59,600 --> 01:59:02,839
Speaker 1: the game. But they're playing a higher caliber of opponent

2046
01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:06,000
Speaker 1: in Week one this year, and the Steelers, so I

2047
01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 1: do anticipate that the starters will get some significant playing

2048
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:12,520
Speaker 1: time at some point in this preseason, presumably the most

2049
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 1: come the third preseason game. We have to take a

2050
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:18,240
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, we'll see if we

2051
01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:20,200
Speaker 1: can hook up with Lomas Brown. But shure of that,

2052
01:59:20,640 --> 01:59:23,960
Speaker 1: we will do a little NFL true false. Coming up

2053
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:26,840
Speaker 1: next here on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Help.

2054

Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back, It's One Bills Live.

Speaker 1: You got your boards all ready to rock. You know,

2059
01:59:55,440 --> 01:59:59,440
Speaker 1: everybody's number by hard We Actually that's a Ventry's job

2060
01:59:59,440 --> 02:00:01,840
Speaker 1: than yours. This is that's a look at him right there,

2061
02:00:01,840 --> 02:00:08,200
Speaker 1: ready to roll man, very nice. So yeah, it's right, Yeah,

2062
02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm ready. You know. You and I, I mean we

2063
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:13,440
Speaker 1: talk about the Bills all time. I mean that's right.

2064
02:00:13,680 --> 02:00:15,920
Speaker 1: They do happen to be playing what another team named?

2065
02:00:16,040 --> 02:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Lions. Yeah, so I got to talk

2066
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:20,080
Speaker 1: about them a little bit. The challenge, Yeah, the challenge

2067
02:00:20,120 --> 02:00:22,280
Speaker 1: is knowing those guys a little bit. At least I

2068
02:00:22,400 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 1: told I told our production team. I said that if

2069
02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:29,280
Speaker 1: somebody would get if one of the Lions gets a

2070
02:00:29,360 --> 02:00:32,320
Speaker 1: compound fracture, we're going to talk about the guy who

2071
02:00:32,360 --> 02:00:35,560
Speaker 1: hit him, not the guy on the ground. So oh man,

2072
02:00:38,480 --> 02:00:41,200
Speaker 1: this is this is an all This isn't all Bills

2073
02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:44,560
Speaker 1: all the time broadcast tonight, So that's right. But I

2074
02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:49,200
Speaker 1: will say this, the Lions did take a traditional approach

2075
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:53,400
Speaker 1: to their draft class this year. Obviously, Pinney Sewell was

2076
02:00:53,440 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 1: their first round pick, the offensive tackle um out of Oregon,

2077
02:00:58,440 --> 02:01:03,040
Speaker 1: and they used a good portion of their draft along

2078
02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 1: the lines, both fronts because they also got Levi on

2079
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:11,960
Speaker 1: Woozerique the second round pick, defensive tackle out of Washington.

2080
02:01:12,440 --> 02:01:15,720
Speaker 1: And then they drafted my guy out of NC State, Steve.

2081
02:01:15,800 --> 02:01:19,160
Speaker 1: Remember I was talking this guy up, Alee McNeil, the

2082
02:01:19,240 --> 02:01:21,280
Speaker 1: guy who used to be a running back and bolted

2083
02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:23,880
Speaker 1: up and he looks like a bowling ball. He's also

2084
02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:29,720
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle out of NC State, but he could

2085
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:32,120
Speaker 1: do it like backflips and stuff. And we had footage

2086
02:01:32,120 --> 02:01:34,160
Speaker 1: of him. We had draft footage of him at NC

2087
02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:39,480
Speaker 1: State running a ball in as a fullback. For I

2088
02:01:39,520 --> 02:01:42,160
Speaker 1: mean he because he used to be a running back. Um.

2089
02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:44,560
Speaker 1: I really liked that kid. So I'll be kind of

2090
02:01:44,600 --> 02:01:48,040
Speaker 1: watching him with a casual eye tonight. And for people

2091
02:01:48,080 --> 02:01:51,879
Speaker 1: that are Syracuse fans, uh, the Syracuse Corner. If Eyatu

2092
02:01:51,960 --> 02:01:56,240
Speaker 1: melon Fonwu is on the Lions roster. I believe he

2093
02:01:56,280 --> 02:01:58,080
Speaker 1: was a third round pick of the Lions this year.

2094
02:01:58,160 --> 02:02:02,360
Speaker 1: So they've got him listening on the depth chart behind

2095
02:02:02,560 --> 02:02:09,440
Speaker 1: Amani rou Warriya and that'll be interesting. We'll see if

2096
02:02:09,520 --> 02:02:11,680
Speaker 1: he'll get in. I mean, goodness, gracious, he's gonna play

2097
02:02:11,680 --> 02:02:16,920
Speaker 1: a ton probably. Yeah, So there's some interesting stuff going

2098
02:02:16,920 --> 02:02:19,200
Speaker 1: on with the Lions, no question. The most notable thing

2099
02:02:19,280 --> 02:02:21,760
Speaker 1: for most of the people out there is the head coach,

2100
02:02:21,880 --> 02:02:24,520
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. Bill's fans will remember him. He was the

2101
02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:26,800
Speaker 1: interim head coach of the Miami Dolphins when they fired

2102
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Joe Philbin early in the season. One year. Dan Campbell

2103
02:02:30,040 --> 02:02:32,240
Speaker 1: took over from the being the tight ends coach to

2104
02:02:32,320 --> 02:02:35,680
Speaker 1: being the head. Interim head coach finished out that season

2105
02:02:36,320 --> 02:02:39,840
Speaker 1: and has since been coaching tight ends again. Now he's

2106
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:42,400
Speaker 1: into Now he's surfaced as the head coach of the

2107
02:02:42,400 --> 02:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. It'll be and he's you know, we've been

2108
02:02:48,040 --> 02:02:50,240
Speaker 1: talking about him too. He's the guy that you know

2109
02:02:50,680 --> 02:02:54,040
Speaker 1: has forty ounces of coffee with two double shots of espresso.

2110
02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:55,720
Speaker 1: He's the guy that you know his team if they

2111
02:02:55,720 --> 02:02:57,960
Speaker 1: get knocked down they're gonna keep biting your kneecap off

2112
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:01,360
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So he is an energetic guy,

2113
02:03:01,680 --> 02:03:06,480
Speaker 1: and it is it'll be. I asked Sean McDermot if

2114
02:03:06,480 --> 02:03:09,960
Speaker 1: he'd had conversations with him about this game tonight, and

2115
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 1: he said yes, and he was, you know, a complimentary

2116
02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:17,800
Speaker 1: about Dan and what he was gonna do. But obviously

2117
02:03:17,840 --> 02:03:20,120
Speaker 1: there's some Bills players that aren't going to play tonight anyway,

2118
02:03:20,200 --> 02:03:23,600
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see the lines and how

2119
02:03:23,600 --> 02:03:26,520
Speaker 1: they look under their new head coach. Yeah. Dan Campbell

2120
02:03:26,520 --> 02:03:31,400
Speaker 1: actually made some headlines again this week talking about working

2121
02:03:31,440 --> 02:03:37,240
Speaker 1: at a chicken check as a teenager and how he

2122
02:03:37,280 --> 02:03:39,360
Speaker 1: was too tall for the drive through window and he

2123
02:03:39,400 --> 02:03:41,880
Speaker 1: had to duck down half the day. He said he

2124
02:03:41,880 --> 02:03:45,160
Speaker 1: could clean chicken with his eyes closed. He did so

2125
02:03:45,280 --> 02:03:47,360
Speaker 1: much of that and he said that got boring after

2126
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:52,600
Speaker 1: about half an hour. But yeah, he said it was

2127
02:03:52,600 --> 02:03:54,280
Speaker 1: a good job because he got paid because he used

2128
02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:55,720
Speaker 1: to work for his dad on his farm and he

2129
02:03:55,760 --> 02:03:58,000
Speaker 1: didn't get paid, so he's like, I'm going to get

2130
02:03:58,040 --> 02:04:02,520
Speaker 1: paid somewhere. He's a character man. We were just showing

2131
02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:04,320
Speaker 1: some footage and when he got hired. He's looking at

2132
02:04:04,360 --> 02:04:08,360
Speaker 1: old photos and they actually had a lion just off

2133
02:04:08,400 --> 02:04:11,800
Speaker 1: to the side of the practice field, and he literally

2134
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:14,680
Speaker 1: says to the team president, Hey, you think we could

2135
02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:18,120
Speaker 1: get one of those? Bring him over to the I'm like,

2136
02:04:18,880 --> 02:04:21,720
Speaker 1: you can't bring a lion to the practice field anymore.

2137
02:04:21,800 --> 02:04:25,040
Speaker 1: Nobody nobody cared about that stuff in the sixties. But

2138
02:04:25,280 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 1: it's a little different time now. Just pick up the

2139
02:04:28,480 --> 02:04:31,280
Speaker 1: phone called Joe exotic. Oh yeah, why did that go

2140
02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 1: for a time? Yeah? Right, not so well, Uh, let's

2141
02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:41,040
Speaker 1: move on. That's something I didn't know until all that

2142
02:04:41,080 --> 02:04:43,040
Speaker 1: came out that I didn't know you could even get

2143
02:04:43,120 --> 02:04:47,600
Speaker 1: a lion, let alone. There's like farms, well zell them, Steve.

2144
02:04:47,680 --> 02:04:49,560
Speaker 1: This typically is not something that you and I are

2145
02:04:49,560 --> 02:04:52,600
Speaker 1: investigating every day, Like how do I land a lion?

2146
02:04:53,040 --> 02:04:55,200
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, we're not those kinds

2147
02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:58,800
Speaker 1: of people, just very What other exotic animals? Wait, well,

2148
02:04:58,840 --> 02:05:01,120
Speaker 1: let's forget the big cats for man, what else can

2149
02:05:01,120 --> 02:05:05,440
Speaker 1: we like? Big snakes? I know? Yeah, yeah, um what

2150
02:05:05,520 --> 02:05:09,640
Speaker 1: other exotic animals are there? Well, I know the exotic

2151
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:14,440
Speaker 1: birds are usually unfortunately sold on the black market for

2152
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:18,760
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Um, right, And then I know

2153
02:05:19,840 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 1: over in Africa and Asia, a lot of the white

2154
02:05:22,440 --> 02:05:25,520
Speaker 1: rhino stuff, which is or black rhino. That's why the

2155
02:05:25,560 --> 02:05:28,120
Speaker 1: black rhino is it might be extinct already or as

2156
02:05:28,120 --> 02:05:32,360
Speaker 1: close to extinction because their tusks are seen as a

2157
02:05:32,520 --> 02:05:35,160
Speaker 1: magic healer or whatever stuff. So those always go on

2158
02:05:35,200 --> 02:05:39,520
Speaker 1: the black market and unfortunately poachers. Um, yeah, yeah, we're

2159
02:05:39,600 --> 02:05:43,160
Speaker 1: all right. Can we move on now? Are good? All right?

2160
02:05:43,200 --> 02:05:45,200
Speaker 1: We can move on. He went from Joe Exotic to

2161
02:05:46,040 --> 02:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the exotic animal market, to the black market to yeah,

2162
02:05:50,280 --> 02:05:52,240
Speaker 1: we're all over the map here. He went from Dan

2163
02:05:52,280 --> 02:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Campbell all the way to the Black Lives. Well, he

2164
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:57,360
Speaker 1: wanted the lion at practice, and that's where we went.

2165
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:01,960
Speaker 1: Um a real lion. Anyway, it's time for NFL True

2166
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:04,640
Speaker 1: false brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's Artist

2167
02:06:04,720 --> 02:06:10,880
Speaker 1: in Cheese and Steve. We begin here. Peyton Manning should

2168
02:06:10,960 --> 02:06:15,960
Speaker 1: be the next NFL commissioner after Roger Goodell hangs it up.

2169
02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:24,880
Speaker 1: True or false? I would say, I would say absolutely,

2170
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:31,160
Speaker 1: positively true. Absolutely. He would be an absolutely brilliant choice.

2171
02:06:32,080 --> 02:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Brilliant he would even if he's inexperienced, he would still

2172
02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:41,760
Speaker 1: be a guy who would figure it out very quickly.

2173
02:06:43,440 --> 02:06:47,839
Speaker 1: He's a communicator, knowledgeable, about the game. He has complete

2174
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:53,480
Speaker 1: and utter respect of everybody associated with the game, his

2175
02:06:54,640 --> 02:06:59,200
Speaker 1: work ethic, his understanding of both sides of every issue,

2176
02:06:59,280 --> 02:07:02,760
Speaker 1: particularly obviously would understand the player's side of it. The

2177
02:07:02,880 --> 02:07:07,200
Speaker 1: owners would come to respect him. He would know understand

2178
02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:09,960
Speaker 1: that there has to be a balance between ownership and players.

2179
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:14,200
Speaker 1: I think he would be He would be an absolute

2180
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:19,200
Speaker 1: no brainer as a next commissioner the NFL. So I say, true,

2181
02:07:19,760 --> 02:07:27,040
Speaker 1: My only reservations are as follows. Okay, this guy is

2182
02:07:28,720 --> 02:07:33,920
Speaker 1: a marketing savant, so from that standpoint, he would market

2183
02:07:33,960 --> 02:07:42,560
Speaker 1: the league exceptionally well. My reservations are in this You're

2184
02:07:42,760 --> 02:07:47,920
Speaker 1: dealing with some of the best business minds in the

2185
02:07:48,160 --> 02:07:55,320
Speaker 1: entire world who are all about driving the revenue streams up,

2186
02:07:56,360 --> 02:08:01,640
Speaker 1: and I worry that pay Manning is too principled a

2187
02:08:01,760 --> 02:08:07,160
Speaker 1: man to get deep in the weeds with difficult decisions

2188
02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:12,040
Speaker 1: on what it will take to drive revenue streams up.

2189
02:08:12,080 --> 02:08:17,720
Speaker 1: In some cases, he's one of the most principled famous

2190
02:08:17,760 --> 02:08:21,480
Speaker 1: people that I have ever seen, and that's a credit

2191
02:08:21,480 --> 02:08:27,880
Speaker 1: to his parents, obviously. But there's some sticky stuff that

2192
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,320
Speaker 1: you got to deal with when you're dealing with business

2193
02:08:31,400 --> 02:08:35,520
Speaker 1: revenues of this magnitude and you got to be the

2194
02:08:35,560 --> 02:08:40,240
Speaker 1: bad guy sometimes. I mean, think about all the areas

2195
02:08:40,440 --> 02:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell has been willing to to slug through and

2196
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:48,480
Speaker 1: take it on the chin. I mean, we're not too

2197
02:08:48,520 --> 02:08:51,160
Speaker 1: far removed from him getting booed every time he walked

2198
02:08:51,160 --> 02:08:55,160
Speaker 1: out at the NFL draft. Let's not forget that and

2199
02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:58,879
Speaker 1: what that job entails. And I don't know if Peyton

2200
02:08:58,880 --> 02:09:01,200
Speaker 1: Manning is up for all all of the dirty stuff

2201
02:09:01,880 --> 02:09:04,800
Speaker 1: that goes on in that position, and there is dirty

2202
02:09:04,800 --> 02:09:06,320
Speaker 1: stuff because you got to do a lot of the

2203
02:09:06,320 --> 02:09:08,280
Speaker 1: owner's dirty work for them, or you're not in that

2204
02:09:08,360 --> 02:09:12,600
Speaker 1: job very long. Yeah, I would say, yeah, that's true.

2205
02:09:12,640 --> 02:09:17,400
Speaker 1: But I say this, his intellect would carry him through.

2206
02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:21,240
Speaker 1: You're right, his character would not. I mean he what

2207
02:09:21,560 --> 02:09:24,240
Speaker 1: would you think would be say, for instance, if the

2208
02:09:24,240 --> 02:09:29,320
Speaker 1: commissioners in charge of disciplinary actions for players a guy

2209
02:09:29,360 --> 02:09:33,680
Speaker 1: of Peyton's character holding other guys up to a standard

2210
02:09:34,440 --> 02:09:40,280
Speaker 1: that he himself lived out. Yeah, I think I think

2211
02:09:40,320 --> 02:09:44,280
Speaker 1: that's that's I'm okay with that, having a guy who

2212
02:09:46,320 --> 02:09:48,320
Speaker 1: held that standard up for as long as he did

2213
02:09:48,680 --> 02:09:52,120
Speaker 1: have expecting other players to do do the same. As

2214
02:09:52,120 --> 02:09:57,320
Speaker 1: far as dealing with owners, I think he would hold

2215
02:09:57,360 --> 02:09:59,440
Speaker 1: his more than hold his own with any owner in

2216
02:09:59,440 --> 02:10:01,640
Speaker 1: the room. All right. I just think that's where it

2217
02:10:01,680 --> 02:10:03,480
Speaker 1: gets a little sticky for him because he's got this

2218
02:10:03,560 --> 02:10:07,160
Speaker 1: pristine image and I think it runs the risk of

2219
02:10:07,200 --> 02:10:12,640
Speaker 1: being tarnished depending on what areas he has to wade into. Um,

2220
02:10:12,760 --> 02:10:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I don't think so. I

2221
02:10:15,480 --> 02:10:19,040
Speaker 1: think he'd be uh. I think he would come out

2222
02:10:19,040 --> 02:10:22,240
Speaker 1: of it looking as good as he as he does now,

2223
02:10:22,600 --> 02:10:26,840
Speaker 1: all right, I don't. I think he probably is. I

2224
02:10:26,880 --> 02:10:29,760
Speaker 1: don't think he needs to be. I mean, like, what

2225
02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:32,000
Speaker 1: instance are you talking about with you're talking about that,

2226
02:10:32,160 --> 02:10:35,920
Speaker 1: there's big it's just like the flag issue health insurance,

2227
02:10:37,160 --> 02:10:40,000
Speaker 1: long term benefits for players, Like he's going to advocate

2228
02:10:40,040 --> 02:10:43,640
Speaker 1: for that, and there's money involved in that, and they

2229
02:10:43,640 --> 02:10:47,280
Speaker 1: should be compensated. I believe in that. I don't. I

2230
02:10:47,320 --> 02:10:49,760
Speaker 1: don't know the thirty two owners do, or at least

2231
02:10:49,800 --> 02:10:52,640
Speaker 1: to pay at the level that maybe players want, And

2232
02:10:52,680 --> 02:10:55,120
Speaker 1: that could be a sticky negotiation down the line. I mean,

2233
02:10:55,240 --> 02:10:58,360
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of things that can come up. Um, well,

2234
02:10:58,400 --> 02:11:00,640
Speaker 1: he's smart enough to know. I mean his paycheck is

2235
02:11:00,640 --> 02:11:04,000
Speaker 1: coming up from the owners, not from the players association. Yeah,

2236
02:11:04,080 --> 02:11:08,280
Speaker 1: and he's working for their interests and obviously the players

2237
02:11:08,320 --> 02:11:11,680
Speaker 1: are a big part of the product that they sell. Yeah,

2238
02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:15,160
Speaker 1: so he'll understand that as well. Yeah, I think he's

2239
02:11:15,760 --> 02:11:19,080
Speaker 1: who else? I mean, believe me, I think he fits

2240
02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:21,640
Speaker 1: it in ninety seven ways out of a hundred. Um,

2241
02:11:21,680 --> 02:11:23,880
Speaker 1: those are just the only reservations that I bring to light.

2242
02:11:23,960 --> 02:11:26,440
Speaker 1: I will say true too, Who would you there's other?

2243
02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:29,640
Speaker 1: I mean I've heard other names. Troy Vincent is a

2244
02:11:30,320 --> 02:11:34,240
Speaker 1: is a candidate as well. I've heard Conda, Lisa Rice

2245
02:11:34,840 --> 02:11:38,320
Speaker 1: sure as a candidate. Sure for that? Yeah, there are

2246
02:11:38,320 --> 02:11:40,200
Speaker 1: a guy. There are people out there who haven't you know,

2247
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:43,520
Speaker 1: a large level of respect outside the football or even

2248
02:11:43,560 --> 02:11:45,960
Speaker 1: inside the football, who could handle it and who have

2249
02:11:46,760 --> 02:11:50,640
Speaker 1: handled bigger issues than you know, salary caps, you know,

2250
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:54,440
Speaker 1: like particularly in conta Lisa Rice or Colin Powell or Yeah,

2251
02:11:54,520 --> 02:11:56,240
Speaker 1: they've deal with issues a little bit bigger than the

2252
02:11:56,280 --> 02:11:59,560
Speaker 1: league deals with. Yeah, I get it, exactly, Um, exactly.

2253
02:11:59,600 --> 02:12:01,640
Speaker 1: We are unfortunately out of time here, But that was

2254
02:12:01,720 --> 02:12:04,280
Speaker 1: NFL true false brought to you by Yancy's fancy Steve

2255
02:12:04,360 --> 02:12:06,080
Speaker 1: and I close it up with what we have learned

2256
02:12:06,120 --> 02:12:20,680
Speaker 1: from today's show. We'll see in a second what have

2257
02:12:20,760 --> 02:12:23,680
Speaker 1: we learned from today's show, brought to you by Skyworks,

2258
02:12:23,720 --> 02:12:29,840
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. Well,

2259
02:12:29,640 --> 02:12:35,440
Speaker 1: we probably learned today, Steve that the quarterback competition is

2260
02:12:35,440 --> 02:12:38,960
Speaker 1: only just beginning in New England between Cam Newton and

2261
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:41,720
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. There may be some hidden meaning in the

2262
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:44,240
Speaker 1: competition based on what Cam Newton sent out on his

2263
02:12:44,280 --> 02:12:48,000
Speaker 1: Instagram post. And we'll probably learn a whole lot more

2264
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:51,480
Speaker 1: tonight about this Bills team, at least their second and

2265
02:12:51,520 --> 02:12:54,920
Speaker 1: third stringers and what they can offer. So maybe all

2266
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:56,920
Speaker 1: the lessons haven't been learned in today's show, but there'll

2267
02:12:56,960 --> 02:12:59,320
Speaker 1: be more tonight. I think, based on the performance of

2268
02:12:59,360 --> 02:13:01,560
Speaker 1: a lot of players, recommend I recommend for a lot

2269
02:13:01,560 --> 02:13:03,600
Speaker 1: of people go to your article online and get the

2270
02:13:03,600 --> 02:13:05,560
Speaker 1: five players that you're gonna watch. I've got to watch

2271
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:07,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of watch a bunch of players I want

2272
02:13:07,840 --> 02:13:09,800
Speaker 1: to watch tonight as well. Mitch Drubisky being at the

2273
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:10,920
Speaker 1: top of the list. I want to see what he

2274
02:13:10,920 --> 02:13:12,720
Speaker 1: can do. I want to see what Spencer Brown can

2275
02:13:12,760 --> 02:13:15,360
Speaker 1: do playing left or right tag wherever it is they

2276
02:13:15,400 --> 02:13:19,640
Speaker 1: plug him in, and of and those young defensive linemen.

2277
02:13:19,760 --> 02:13:22,480
Speaker 1: I would love to see the Bills defense dominate at

2278
02:13:22,520 --> 02:13:23,960
Speaker 1: the top of this game. I don't know what's going

2279
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:26,400
Speaker 1: to happen after everybody comes out and everybody sits down

2280
02:13:26,400 --> 02:13:28,280
Speaker 1: for the night or whatever how long they're gonna play,

2281
02:13:28,280 --> 02:13:31,680
Speaker 1: but I would love to see a pass rush that

2282
02:13:31,840 --> 02:13:33,960
Speaker 1: is strikes fear into the heart of our opponent. And

2283
02:13:34,240 --> 02:13:36,440
Speaker 1: we hope it starts tonight. It'll be fun to watch. Yeah,
