1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,279
Speaker 1: Go bring Tample by Steve Cluster. Get to the end done, sechdown,

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: sech down, mit, mixdown, techsdown, rumble over time. I want

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: you to go back in time. Man, think about the

4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: time you think it to yourself. Man, I just want

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: a chance. I just want a chance to get to

6
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. I just want a chance to play. Rope

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: back there in your mind. And remember the type of

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: effort you promised yourself you would give. Remember the type

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: of guns training effort. And you said, I will give

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: that if I have an opportunity to do that. Burst

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: and gold from the one they give it the cold

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: Williams give it the un dune touchdown, up, touchdown, he

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: wind up at the foot and the end. Maybe let's

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: go Cutler lines him up. Now fight some in the middle.

15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Intership by Kyle Williams. There's nothing like a team total

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: for your teammates today, man, do not wait for something

17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: good to happen. Gold didn't make it happen for your brother.

18
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: Nothing like a team when you stick together, no matter what.

19
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: There you go, Kyle Williams. The big announcement coming up

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,880

00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: sent for the final game of the year, and of

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: course we're gonna talk a lot about Kyle Williams. He

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: announced his retirement. Thirteen seasons in the NFL. An amazing career,

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: an amazing legacy of leadership. It seems to be Steve

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: the guy was really the definitive leader of the last

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: almost decade and a half here at One Bills Drive.

30
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: He was a great one. He is a great one,

31
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna miss him. Where fans are gonna miss

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: seeing him, It's gonna be a big void and fans

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: who you know, they pull out their all time favorite

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: players and then to have the guy not be on

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: the team anymore had moves you into a different place

36
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: in your in your life. M Kyle was a big

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: part of the fan bass here in Buffalo. He was

38
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: one of the guys people pointed to. He's one of

39
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: the first names on the list of all time favorite players.

40
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that people pointed to as

41
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: being the leader as being a face of the franchise

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: for a long time when they didn't have one or

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: anybody else. And and those speeches that we just heard

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: in our open were quintessential Kyle speeches. And then you know,

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: he still gets me kind of of of a rush

46
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: and gets me emotional when I hear him talk like

47
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: that because he was so good at it. And yeah, yeah,

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: it's he was a great one. He was an all

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: time great Buffalo Bill There's no question about it. And

50
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: he played vastly in an era when you would be

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: hard pressed to say there were any great moments in

52
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: the in the history of the team, but he was

53
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: one of them, and he and he was one of

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: the players sometimes during his career, one of the few

55
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: players you could all be proud of for what he

56
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: did on the field and the way he was off

57
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: the field and the way he pulled for that team,

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: whether it was whether it was seemingly worth it for

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: it or worth it or not. Kyle was an undying

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: force for the Buffalo Bills that didn't take a backseat

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: to anybody put the team first. Always it was you know,

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I think we were all better and it all felt

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: better about our team because he was on it. It

64
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: was it's a rare quality he has and it's gonna

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: be tough to say goodbye to him. Yeah, Kyle Williams

66
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: announcing his retirement. Today's Sunday's game against the Dolphins will

67
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: be his last game as a Buffalo bill Head. Coach

68
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot just talked about it to the media a

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: little while ago. Kyle and coach McDermot talked about it

70
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: to the entire team earlier today, and we'll hear that

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later on on the show.

72
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Kyle's going to join us later on on the show

73
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: as well, after practice. Is going to be sometime we're

74
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: guessing around one thirty two o'clock somewhere in that neighborhood

75
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: when Kyle Williams will join us to talk about his

76
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: decision to step aside after the end of the year.

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: But he did issue. He wrote a letter actually to

78
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Bills fans and it was posted on Buffalo bills dot com.

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams to Bills fans. Here's his statement today. This

80
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: isn't easy. It was never going to be. There's no

81
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: perfect time to retire from a game, a franchise, and

82
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: a city that means so much to me and my family,

83
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: but it's time to hang up my cleats. Kyle went

84
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: on to say I had never lived outside of Louisiana

85
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: when Jill and I moved here at twenty two years old,

86
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: but it didn't take me long to identify with this

87
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: city and its people with their attitude and loyalty. This

88
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: place celebrates grit as much as it does talent, and

89
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: there's something to be sent for that. Now I'm leaving

90
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: at thirty five with the kid with five kids calling

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo my home. It's not just like everywhere else, and

92
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: it will always be part of me. Kyle goes on

93
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: to say a singular word sticks out when I look

94
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: back at my NFL career. Grateful to have spent this

95
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: much time with one team, to have had the opportunity

96
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: to get to know this organization, this community, and more importantly,

97
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: the people to have raised my family here, to have

98
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: made countless memories and friendships on and off the field.

99
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: He goes on to say thank you to the Bagoulas,

100
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: to the Wilson family, to my teammates to show on

101
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: McDermot and Brandon Bean, to my family, and to the

102
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: fans I have been at this a really long time,

103
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like it. And that's a testament

104
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: to your on wavering support. I could not be more

105
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: grateful to retire as a lifelong Buffalo Bill one last time.

106
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: I'll see you Sunday on the field, or I'll see

107
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: you on the field on Sunday. Kyle Williams retirement statement.

108
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: As we said, we will hear from me. He will

109
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: address the media after today's practice, which is just getting started.

110
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: We'll get him on the show here live right over

111
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: there next to a Steve Tasker a little bit later

112
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: on today as well. But we're gonna talk about Kyle

113
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: a lotton of course. We want to hear from you.

114
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: Eight oh three h five fifty and toll free one

115
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty. Question for you,

116
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, how would Kyle Williams, with everything we know

117
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: about him and his demeanor and his approach to the game,

118
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: how would he have fit into your Super Bowl ere

119
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: A team? You guys were an extremely close, dedicated bunch

120
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: of yourselves. You had tremendous success, You had tremendous talent

121
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: on the team. Kyle didn't have that benefit. How would

122
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: have Williams fit in with maybe the guys you played with.

123
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: I think Kyle Williams fit on any team in any era.

124
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: Hard work and unselfishness and great player. You know, those

125
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: are universal traits that every team wishes they had Kyle.

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: And there's you know, thirty two teams in the league

127
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: wish they had a young Kyle Williams. You know, they

128
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: wish they did. He was a tremendously great player. He

129
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: had Pro Bowl caliber effort, Pro Bowl caliber production, and

130
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: he was always selfless and team first and made guys.

131
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: And that's the great players. And I've said this a

132
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: number of times. The great players are great, no question,

133
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: but the greatest of them make other guys great as well.

134
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: They elevate the play of the guys around him. And

135
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: you look at the guys he's played with over the years,

136
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: they'll all tell you the same thing. They were better

137
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: because he was there. And that's that's I think as

138
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: big a compliment as you can pay a professional football player.

139
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking a couple of things, obviously,

140
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: since the news came out this morning about Kyle Williams

141
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: and his tenure. Here, I distinctly recall an I'm not

142
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: going to say he did, but a very animated conversation

143
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: he had years ago, I want to say, seven or

144
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: eight years ago with the Bills. I won't give their names,

145
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: but the Bills personnel people, the decision makers. Kyle was

146
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: a fifth round He was a ninth defensive tackle chosen

147
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: in the two thousand and sixth draft. I haven't gone

148
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: back and look. I think you'd be hard pressed to

149
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: find any defensive tackles drafted that year O six still

150
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL. I'll go back and look some

151
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: point today. But beyond that, you can argue he was

152
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: the most accomplished and maybe the most successful interior defensive

153
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: linement in that class. And how did he wind up?

154
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: How did he wind up as the ninth overall pick?

155
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: How did he wind up overall ninth overall defensive tackle pick,

156
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: ninth guy chosen at that position, fifth round pick. It

157
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: says something about the draft, by the way, and how

158
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: inaccurate the draft is, but it says a lot about

159
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams and his grit and determination to make himself

160
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: a great player no matter where he was drafted. He started.

161
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: His first start came around midway through his first year.

162
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: His rookie year, he had been Tim Anderson. I forget

163
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: who else was competing with him, Oh Flowers, right, Macargo

164
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: round fifth round, competing with them for playing time. Finally,

165
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: midway through that season, Dicturn said, you know what we're

166
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: going with Kyle. And he never came out of the

167
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: lineup since midway through the sixth season and until unless

168
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: he was hurt, and he didn't get hurt very often either.

169
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: It's just an amazing record for a guy who did

170
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: not come into the league as a heralded player. But

171
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: his conversation with the uh it was, you know, Kyle

172
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: was biting right, you know how he is? He was,

173
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: he was he had to he was what's the word

174
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: he was biting? Like, how could you guys wait until

175
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: the ninth round to pick me? How could you wait

176
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: until the fifth round to bring me here in ninth

177
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: defensive tackle? Who are these guys chose to ahead of me?

178
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: He was killing in a good natured way, killing the

179
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 1: personnel people about how long he had to wait to

180
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: be drafted. And it wasn't all good natured either, by

181
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: the way. And then it's real, I mean, listen, if

182
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: he would have been picked where he should have been

183
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: picked up in the top of the first round. First

184
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: half of the first round would have been a huge

185
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: difference maker for him and his fan, for his family. Yeah,

186
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean he'd be you know, but who knows. The

187
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: thing about it is, I remember too. The defensive line

188
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: coach of the Buffalo Bills at that point was Bill Kohler,

189
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: who's still coaching in the national foot He is still

190
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: widely respected as a real great defensive line coach. Um,

191
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: he goes, I gotta tell, and he was. He had

192
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: the same conversation with me midway through that first season

193
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: with John McCargo on the team and Kyle Wims. He goes,

194
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: I got a first rounder and a fifth round. He goes,

195
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: twenty minutes into the first practice, I knew who could play, Yeah,

196
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: he said, twenty minutes into the first practice, I knew

197
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: who could play and it wasn't the first rounder. Because

198
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: I told him. He goes, they completely they completely missed

199
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: on the first round. Guy, he goes, and they totally

200
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: hit on the fifth rounder. And he knew it twenty minutes.

201
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: He laughed because and he was serious. He was he

202
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: was kind of angry about it. You know, He's like,

203
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: I could tell twenty minutes into the thing. You know,

204
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: so football is what it is, and they're still trying

205
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: to figure out how to evaluate guys before they actually

206
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: pay him. Yeah, and they still can't get it right.

207
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: They don't right can get it with him and always

208
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: get it right? Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't want

Speaker 1: to announce your retirement before your final game, final home game,

240

Speaker 1: And I don't mean just my wife and kids that

244
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,480

245
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: mom and dad and my brothers who came up. And

246
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: I had brothers. I have three older brothers, and they

247
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: had made epic journeys to Buffalo over the years to

248
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: be there for the playoff games, right, I mean I

249
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: got a brother who ended up well, yeah, it's an

250
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: epic story. I mean one of my brothers ended up

251
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: riding over to Buffalo from Rochester because that's the only flight.

252
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: The weather was bad. He ended up riding in a

253
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: tool van sitting on a cooler holding onto the grill

254
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: while they drove from Rochester to Buffalo because that was

255
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: the only way he could get to Buffalo, and he

256
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: got there in time for the game. Stories like that

257
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: and going. They a couple of them accompanied us to

258
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: Hawaii for the Pro Bowl a bunch of times that

259
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: we were there, so they had big Even to this day,

260
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: my brothers still visit us here. They come up and

261
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: they it's part of their comparity. So it's it's a

262
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: chance for people to get prepared so they can come

263
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: in and share it with you. Because so many people

264
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: and Kyle said he's so grateful for the career had.

265
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: That was the same way. I was so grateful for

266
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: the team that I was on and the guys that

267
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: I played with. There are a lot of people that

268
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: help you get there and experience it, so you need

269
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: them to be able to So that was your motivation

270
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: to announce it before the final home game? Right, who

271
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: is that against? I don't recall Jacksonville? Okay? And then

272
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: the next week, of course was your right, yeah right,

273
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: And yeah I didn't get to see much of that game,

274
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: but no one got to see you once either, And

275
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: but it was you know, actually you can you can imagine.

276
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it, and and actually the club

277
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: wanted it, wanted me to announce it and do it,

278
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: so they I said, Okay, is it difficult to play

279
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: when you've already anounce that you're on the way out. No,

280
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: it's no, it's difficult to maybe No, I mean you

281
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: want to play, and you want to play, well, you're

282
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: motivated to play, but it is distraction. It is a distraction.

283
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I'll admit that. Um, you do you think about everything,

284
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: doing it for the last time, and you and you

285
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: and you remember for a couple of minutes how awesome

286
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: it is to be a pro athlete, you know, and uh,

287
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: what what goes through your mind? Did you think back

288
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: on that? What were you thinking about, Like, oh, it's

289
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: the last time I walk down this tunnel, last time.

290
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: I uh, you know, I just you know, I think

291
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of it is you. You You know, I

292
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: want to you know, I want to I want to

293
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: go out, you know, I want to force a fumble.

294
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: I want to score a touchdown. I want to, you know,

295
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: win the game for the team on my last game.

296
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: You want you really go in re wanting all that

297
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: to happen. Um, and you will you do want the

298
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: team to win. Um, that's a big deal. Um. There's

299
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: a lot of things that go into it, and it's

300
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: hard to even quantify because there's so many things that

301
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: race through your mind. I mean, you've been playing the

302
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: game since you were little, and um, you know, that's

303
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: the last time you're gonna put a helmet on. So

304
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's pretty emotional and it and it is

305
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: an enormous distraction. So I'm sure Kyle will handle it,

306
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 1: probably better than I did. Yeah, Um, how do you

307
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: think his teammates will handle it? If you're a teammate

308
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: of well, I think hopefully they'll rise up, you know,

309
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll they'll stand up and give him something again,

310
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: send him off with a great memory, with a great win,

311
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: with a you know, with great feelings on the sidelines,

312
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: and I'm sure each of them will probably walk up

313
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: to them talk, walk up to him and say, you know,

314
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: some sort of goodbye. And I think it's interesting too,

315
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: you kind of want to do it when you're in uniform.

316
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: What do you mean you want to say goodbye to

317
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: your teammate while you're still wearing the shirt. You know,

318
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get you getting choked up. Yeah, I

319
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: do you get chumming up? You still want to be

320
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: in uniform when you say goodbye to the guy. There's

321
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: something about it, you know. It's one thing satan you know,

322
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: and gray shorts and a T shirt in the locker room,

323
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: say hey, it's been great to see you later. But

324
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: when you're standing there uniform, Matt, it's it's pretty poignant,

325
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, and it's I think it's it's has a

326
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: lot of symbolism in it. So I would say that

327
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: at the end of this game and on Sunday, you'll

328
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of guys in their pads wanting to

329
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: say something to Kyle in that moment, rather than privately

330
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: off the field, which they probably will do as well.

331
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: But there's something about saying goodbye to your teammate like

332
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: a team might like Kyle wearing the jersey and being

333
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: on the field during a game, I think, and they'll

334
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: do it both on the field with their play and

335
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: also privately on the sidelines standing around. They'll they'll say

336
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: some things to him. I think it's going to be

337
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: pretty pretty deep. I'm guessing that Kyle Williams will address

338
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: the team at the hotel tomorrow night, wouldn't you think

339
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: at some point? Yeah, yeah, I imagine he did it

340
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: this morning as well. And uh yeah, I mean there's

341
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: I you know, it's almost the point where the guy

342
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: like Kyle, with his of his player in person and

343
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: a human being of his caliber, Sean mcdermots got a

344
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: little bit of a project to make sure that hey, hey,

345
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, the Dolphins are in town. You know, you

346
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean, there's a little bit of that,

347
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: particularly with a guy like Kyle. I mean, this isn't

348
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, this isn't just a guy, right, This isn't

349
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: some rookie who's had a couple of concussion. He saying,

350
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm kind of done after this year.

351
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who's meant something to

352
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: all the guys in that locker room, and a great

353
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: deal to some of these guys in the locker room.

362
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: A little bit later on on the tweet sheet from

363
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: Tiffany Daniels, last season's post game, Well you asked the question,

364

Speaker 1: what's your favorite Kyle Williams memory, she responds, last season's

365
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: postgame locker room celebration, watching the pure joy on his face,

366
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: celebrating with his sons that he was going to the playoffs.

367
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: He's been a pillar for this team in community. He

368
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: will be forever loved in Buffalo. What an awesome career.

369
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: That's the one that comes to mind for most people,

370
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: you know, and I was thinking about that game. It

371
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: was a year ago Bill's finale at Miami. Kyle william

372
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown and then they go in the locker

373
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: room and wait for Cincinnati to knock out Baltimore. Kyle

374
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: had his sons in there with them, and the place

375
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: obviously goes wild. The locker room went wild, but especially

376
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: around Kyle with tears of joy in his eyes and

377
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: hugging his sons, and Sean mcdermotstand and next to him, Steve.

378
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the enduring images of Buffalo

379
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: Bill's football. Did you say it the other day? Is

380
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: it's right up there with what with some of the

381
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: great great It's one of the great all time moments

382
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: and franchises, right up there with a comeback very with

383
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: a fifty one to three victory over the Raiders. It's

384
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: up there with Super Bowl appearances, AFC Championship appearances. And

385
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about what it meant for wins and

386
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 1: losses in playoffs and super Bowl championships and all that.

387
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking for fan the fan base, for the players involved,

388
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: and for the people in the city of Buffalo that

389
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: moment last year, getting into the playoffs the way they

390
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: got in it was an all time moment. It was.

391
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: It was an all time moment. And I don't but

392
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't shy away from it. I was a part

393
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: of a lot of cool things with this team when

394
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: I played, and I've been a witness to a lot

395
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: of cool stuff since. Uh. That ranks right up there,

396
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: top two or three, top one. You can you know,

397
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: for the people of this era, that's one of the

398
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: top moments of their bills life because they don't know

399
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: any different. Yeah, so you know, I tipped my hat.

400
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not. I don't want to be one

401
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: of those old guys who would you know that shakes

402
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: his finger at the young crowd and says, yeah, you

403
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: never know. Listen, that was a moment. That was a moment,

404
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: and even the old guy, even the five presidents acknowledging

405
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool, you know, Yeah, right, Thurman, Bruise,

406
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: Andre Jim they were Listen, those guys all had their

407
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: own moment the same time they were in it. They

408
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: were jumping up and down, just like the people in

409
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: the concourse in Miami. So it was. It was a

410
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: moment like none other in Bill's history. And I put

411
00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: it right up there with all the great you know

412
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: about that moment too, And it struck me this morning

413
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: thinking about it, and it's it's a fact when you

414
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: talk about history, any history, political history, government history, war history,

415
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: sports history, if you got cameras around to record the moment,

416
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: it becomes bigger. And the fact that there were cameras

417
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: there in the locker room at that moment, right around

418
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: Kyle recording that moment, showing his reaction, elevated that to

419
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: iconic status. Right. I mean you guys, as you said,

420
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: you had great moments, You didn't always have cameras in

421
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: there as they do now. You didn't have that kind

422
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: of access twenty thirty years ago that you do now.

423
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: That makes it even better that all of us can

424
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: share with Kyle Williams's sense of joy and accomplishment and

425
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: the kids there with them. That makes that moment even better.

426
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: The fact that there were cameras and plenty of them

427
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: in the locker room after the win over the Dolphins. Yeah,

428
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: and the moments I'm talking about for our team there are.

429
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: The comeback was all on record. It was a game.

430
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: It was actually recorded, people were watching it, and you

431
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: go back and get videos of it. They did. They

432
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: did a you know, a condensed version of where he

433
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: went back and did like some sort of uh you know,

434
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: like Beyond the Blue and Goal where I've got a

435
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: DVD of the of the stories and the interviews arounding

436
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: the greatest comeback and the fifty one to three game

437
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. Uh, the wide right, all those moments

438
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: that were both joyous and crushing were recorded, you know,

439
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: by the national media. But moments like that in the

440
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: locker room, moments like it was in the concourse in Miami,

441
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: Moments like you know, everybody witnessing it together. It's a

442
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: once in a lifetime. Yeah, And the fact that we're

443
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: in the day and age where everybody's got a camera

444
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: phone just kind of solidifies it into into one of

445
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: those moments. Yeah, what do you think of us to

446
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: call your favorite Kyle Williams memory, your thoughts on Cayl

447
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: Williams retirement. Got a call here from Dino in Niagara Falls. Hello, Dino,

00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey marsh Hi, Hey Steve, you doing a

449
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: great job. You know what I remember Kyle Williams was

450
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: boys in the locker room when they were watching the

451
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Baltimore game right playoffs. Yeah, yeah, we were

452
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: actually while you're talking to you know, we're show we

453
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: showed those highlights, just as while we were talking on

454
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: MSG where you know, it was that moment when they

455
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: were all it was, they were quiet, they were watching,

456
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: they were glued to the screen. And then you know,

457
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: Dalton throws it and the guy catches it and runs

458
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: in and it's the lid comes off. It's awesome. It's

459
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: just an amazing catch and an amazing playing. The guy

460
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: goes in and they go crazy. There's nothing like it.

461
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: And I agree with you having your kids, having Kyle

462
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: having his sons in there is perfect for him. And

463
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: I believe, believe me, you we all know it. All

464
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: the guys know it. Those kids will never forget that.

465
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: They will They're they're gonna be the last ones of

466
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: us that live through this. They're gonna be eighty five

467
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna remember that being there. And uh, good

468
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: for them. And I'm glad, I'm glad it's it was amazing,

469
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: It was amazing. It was I'm so glad that somebody

470
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: had the good sense to turn a phone on and no, No,

471
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: that's our guys, our shooters. Yeah, that's our boys. Listen,

472
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: we our guys. Let me just take a minute here.

473
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: Our guys do a great job. And we laugh at

474
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: him a lot. We shoot everything. Yeah, and Josh Allen

475
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: is like, listen, you want me you want to put

476
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: a mic on me when I go to the bathroom too,

477
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, because they want to. They want to Mike Kyle,

478
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean Josh William, Josh Allen up all the time. Yeah,

479
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: they ain't right, because we all want to know what

480
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: he's doing right when I make him up at practice.

481
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: We want to see what Sean saying. We want to

482
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: hear what day Ball saying, and are because of the

483
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: access we have being in the building, we get some

484
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: pretty good stuff. Yeah, and this is one of them.

485
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: And then I'll tell you what that paid off. Big.

486
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: I could watch that thing over and over and over.

487
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: I have watched it over and over and over. I

488
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: don't get tired of it. Here's a tweet from Brian

489
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: Cook on the tweet sheet. He writes, sad day for

490
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia, but we should all be happy that he

491
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: made the announcement today before his final home game. It

492
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: allows fans to show our appreciation and let's Kyle really

493
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: enjoy his final time on the field. I hope he

494
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: got six sacks on Sunday so the crowd can really

495
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: reward him. Is it a sad day? My wife asked

496
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: me this morning. I was home when we got the news.

497
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: He said, are you sad? And I said, no, Kyle's

498
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: had a great career. I love having him around. He

499
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: will be missed, but I don't feel sad at all.

500
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, pat him on the back

501
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: thirteen years, some rough times and some great times like

502
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: what we've just been talking about. I don't feel sad.

503
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: Is that wrong. I don't feel like this is a

504
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: bad thing, this is sad. I don't feel like that

505
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: at all. I agree. You know, we all wish it,

506
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, wish he and his wife were from Buffalo,

507
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: but you know they're they got homes and families. They're

508
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: gonna go back to and live in Louisiana, like he said,

509
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: but this is going to be a part of their

510
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: lives from now on. And also from the tweets. You

511
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: we've got a couple of people who you'll recognize. Eric

512
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: Wood tweets in you know, obviously the former Buffalo Bills

513
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: center who retired last year. Congrats to Kyle Williams on

514
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: an incredible career. I learned so much from you as

515
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: a player, leader, husband, and father. I'm grateful I got

516
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: to be your team mate. I'll miss watching you on

517
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: the field, but happy you're walking away on your terms

518
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for your next chapter. That's from Eric Wood,

519
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: former Buffalo Bill, and there makes a good point walking

520
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: away in your own terms. Eric did not get a

521
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: chance to do that. An equally beloved Buffalo Bill player

522
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: through some difficult times, and a guy who did an

523
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: awful lot of any community, made an awful lot of friends.

524
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: He didn't get a chance to walk away in his

525
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: own terms. There's there's value in that, Steve. I'm sure

526
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: you did, but as many of your teammates didn't yet

527
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: get that opportunity. Right now, and let me tell you, guys,

528
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: go off on the back of a golf cart. I've

529
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: said it a thousand times. It rarely ends well for

530
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: the great ones. Yeah, Jim Kelly was carted off the

531
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's field in his last game, and Steve Young

532
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: was knocked unconscious in his last game. Then these other guys,

533
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: they get cut by a team they didn't even play for.

534
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: You know, Jerry Rice ended up getting cut from the

535
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Andre Reid same thing. Denver Broncos cut him

536
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: before he played, or or just playing after one or

537
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: two games. Joe Namath ended up as a ram at

538
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: the end of his career. Johnny Unitus ended up in

539
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: San Diego. All these great players, you know, even Adrian

540
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: Peterson's now playing well, but he's you know, he's not

541
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: on the Minnesota Vikings anymore. Brett Farr went to two

542
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: different teams before he retired. All these guys have a

543
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: hard time letting go and as part of what made

544
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: him great, they just wouldn't. They didn't have an off switch.

545
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: Kyle and Sean McDermott mentioned it in his remarks this

546
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: morning to the media. Kyle is more than just the

547
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo bill player. We all see. He's a husband and

548
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: father and a man apart from his identity as a

549
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: great football player. And kudos to him for having the

550
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: self awareness to know, you know what, I think I

551
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: got something else I need to do for a while now,

552
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: and having the strength to let go of a career

553
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: that obviously has meant so much to him, so it's

554
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: not easy. And Kyle pulled it off, and a lot

555
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: of guys like you said Eric would be in. One

556
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: of them didn't get the chance. According to McDermot, who

557
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: spoke with the media and just before they went out

558
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: to practice a little bit ago, Kyle Williams kind of

559
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: cluded him in on Monday, the day after the Patriots game.

560
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: Of what his intentions were, McDermot said he thought about

561
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: trying to talk him out of it, but decided against

562
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: it just because it's not fair to try to talk

563
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: him out of it. He can still play. According to

564
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: mcdermotill here some of his comments in a minute or two.

565
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: And then, of course, I think it was about yesterday

566
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: that Kyle started letting people. A couple of people around

567
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: the building know. Steve and I of course had I

568
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: had a conversation on Tuesday not I. We thought about

569
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: it a a little bit. I thought I saw the signs

570
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: of it, but you know, Murph did too reluctantly. But

571
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: it's a way, I you know, if you're here's the thing.

572
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: Kyle can still play, and we just talked about guys

573
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: ending it on their own terms if you want to

574
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: end your career on your own terms. You gotta leave

575
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: when you can still play. If you can't play anymore,

576
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: they're not going to have you around. You don't get

577
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: to end it on your own career. They cut. That's

578
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: just the way it works. It sounds callous, it sounds cold,

579
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: but that's the way it works. If you want to

580
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: end your career on your own terms, you have to

581
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: do it a little bit earlier than you'd like a

582
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: lot of time. I've told you this before. Walk Corey

583
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: was a great defensive coordinator during your era and Marvel

584
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: Leavie's era, and I heard him say it, and he

585
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: said it to me. He said, I always tell players,

586
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: do not retire, make us cut you. And that's a

587
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: financial consideration. Yeah, don't retire, make us cut you. Will

588
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 1: tell you when you can't play anymore, to do it

589
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: the other way around, to retire, to you make the

590
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: decision yourself, retire on your own terms. And we've been

591
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: talking about that takes a little bit of courage, That

592
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: takes a little bit of what you don't care that

593
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: much about the financial considerations. Kyle could come back and

594
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: play Buffalo or somewhere else next year and make a

595
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: couple of million dollars next year. But you know, obviously

596
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: as other things, as you said, he wants to do,

597
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 1: and maybe he doesn't feel like he would play at

598
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: the high level that he's played at for thirteen years.

599
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: I'm interested a lot of guys it does. Like for

600
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: Dan Marino, he had the great he ended it as

601
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: a Miami Dolphin and came back and they had a

602
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: big parade and a thing for him. I'm anxious to

603
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: see all of us are anxious here in Buffalo how

604
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna end for Tom Brady because it doesn't seem

605
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: like he wants to let go right Alan win right, Yeah,

606
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: And I would be interested to see if it's going

607
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: to end well for them. I would think because of

608
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: the ownership and the way the respect they have for him,

609
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: that they'll end it the way Tom wants to. But

610
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: when's that gonna be. Who knows how it's gonna end.

611
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: If it's gonna end well, that remains to be seen.

612
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: That it always is a question of when when do

613
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: you call it quits? And if you're if you want

614
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: to call it quits, should you or should you just

615
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: keep playing until until they're done with you? And later

616
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: in my career, we we acquired Art still here in Buffalo,

617
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: had a few really good seasons for us in the

618
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: late eighties, and he was an older, older guy when

619
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: we got him, and we Art, how long he's gonna play?

620
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,239
Speaker 1: How long long? It is funny because he'd always make

621
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: a joke and stuff about how long he was gonna

622
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: play and stuff. And one time on a flight, somebody

623
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: asked him Art, how you know how long are you

624
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: going to do this? Since an Arts says, I'll tell you,

625
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: he goes, I'll tell you exactly how long, And the

626
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: whole plane got quiet, all the guys within listening got

627
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: quiet because he was finally gonna tell us how long,

628
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: he goes. Guys, you play as long as you possibly

629
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: can play, and then play one more year. That was

630
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: his line. So there is something to be said for

631
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: walking away and calling it quits on your own terms.

632
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: And congratulations to Kyle for doing it. That's what he did. Today.

Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about it all day. We're gonna talk

656
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: you weren't sure if he was gonna retire or not.

657
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: He certainly has a big component in that locker room

658
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: and has a great leadership role and is still continue

659
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: to play at a high level this year. But I mean,

660
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: he's had a fabulous career. He's a you know, he's

661
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: a guy that's the foundational piece of the community and

662
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: in Buffalo with with what he just was able to

663
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: do in the community for Western New Yorkers and fans

664
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: and they've and they've been committed to Western New York

665
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: and to this team for so long. And he's had

666
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: a fabulous career. I mean, multiple Pro Bowl years, a

667
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: guy who who's a tremendous athlete, who used his hands

668
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: exceptionally well and just just kind of him and he

669
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: garners the respect of everybody across the league. And I know,

670
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: I know we have some disdain for Coach Belichick and

671
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: the success that they've had, but when you talk to

672
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick about Kyle Williams, still safe boy that had

673
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: is a guy that that just leaves his heart and

674
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,239
Speaker 1: soul in the fields and as an outstanding player. So

675
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: that's that's high praise from somebody that that has a

676
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: lot of credibility in this league. So he's a he's

677
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: just it's been it's been remarkable his career and his

678
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: commitment to the city Buffalo. I just hope he chooses

679
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: to raise his family here instead of going back to Louisiana.

680
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: We'll speak all that out bold. Yeah, he's got some

681
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: pretty deep roots back there. I know he's got a

682
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: hunting cabin and all that. He's got a life back there.

683
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: And and and I think one of the things that

684
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: contributed to this, and you can speak to this as

685
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: well as I can mark the age of his children

686
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: are starting to be a consideration for jumping back and

687
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: forth between Louisiana and Buffalo. And even though it's just

688
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: maybe one year of school or whatever for the older ones, Um,

689
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: all that stuff starts to weigh pretty heavily on a parent,

690
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: there's no question. And there's a lot of a lot

691
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: of our teammates, of course, that that find themselves in

692
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: the same situation. And uh, you know that they would

693
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: spend the first half of school year here and and

694
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: be at one level and then they go to to

695
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,479
Speaker 1: another state perhaps, and then they may not be at

696
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: the same level or cover the same material or and

697
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: and the transition became difficult. And they've got friends in

698
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: both communities, and that becomes hard on it certainly on

699
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: your kids. And and there's been uh, it's it goes,

700
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, really well documented the Kyle and Joe really

701
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: have that's his wife's name, right, Jill. Yeah, And uh,

702
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean they I mean, obviously their family is first

703
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: in their lives and uh, and they do everything to

704
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: support that situation. And I think that would be a

705
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: big consideration of his deciding to call it a career

706
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo and again and what a fabulous career it was.

707
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: And he will be uh and he will be missed

708
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: for sure, there's no question about that. And he'll go

709
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: down as one of the all time great defensive linemans

710
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: in Bill's history. For sure about that as well. Mark.

711
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: It's not exes and ohs, But what could that announcement?

712
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: What impact would that have on the game on Sunday,

713
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: both for Kyle and maybe his teammates. Yeah, I'm sure

714
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: Steve has found himself in this situation before, as have I.

715
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: When you have players, whether it's in college when you

716
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: have seniors that are that are ready to graduate into

717
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: their last game and h and you want to send

718
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: them out with the victory. And just what he has

719
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: meant to this this community and this organization and the

720
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: level of play that at level of accidence that he

721
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: continued to demonstrate on a weekly basis. I mean, I

722
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: think they want to say, hey, we want to send

723
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: Kyle out as a winner, and we want to and

724
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: we want to continue to defend our own turf as

725
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: well and play well at home, which the Bills have

726
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: done by and large this year. And I think there'll

727
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: be a lot of incentive. I mean, you saw what

728
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: happened in New York when when Ponchio Billa came and

729
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: they kind of got an emotional edge, and I think

730
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: this will certainly give them an emotional edge tomorrow in

731
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: a game that it doesn't have a lot of meaning,

732
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: but now it takes on a different meaning because of

733
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: Kyle's announcement and again wanting to wanting to honor his

734
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: his contribution to the Bills organization with with the final

735
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: game victory. Well, let's talk about the game tomorrow. The

736
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins coming in. This is the first not tomorrow Sunday,

737
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: and they're coming in for they're coming in town tomorrow.

738
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: But the game on Sunday where the you know, the

739
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: Bills for the first time Josh Allen's going to get

740
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: a second look at a defense. Is the first time

741
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: he's ever played a team for the second time in

742
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: a regular season. Um, it's a team that the Buffalo

743
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: Bills really outplayed three weeks ago and still couldn't come

744
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: away with a victory. This is the you know, the

745
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: last minute drop on the gold line by Charles Clay

746
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: and there's a bad throw and a bad break on

747
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: the ball and they couldn't come up with it. And

748
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: so what are your thoughts about the rematch here after

749
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: what you saw in the first matchup earlier in the season. Yeah, well,

750
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's things that they can take

751
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: advantage of. I think it's it's really important for this

752
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: Bill's offensive unit to continue to grow and progress. And again,

753
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: as I think you guys have mentioned during the week,

754
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: Coach stay Bold and the other members of the offensive

755
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff particularly have said, the more seat time that

756
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has, the more opportunity he has to see defenses,

757
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: read defenses, and and and put himself in situations that

758
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: that's going to be profitable down the road for his

759
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: growth and maturity and the offenses growth and maturity. I mean,

760
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: there's there's they have some opportunities. I think the offense

761
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: made some mistakes in Miami last time, but you know,

762
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: Xavery Howard came up with another intersection and they've got

763
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: some good defenders. But I don't think they're rushing the

764
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: passer with the kind of the ferocity that they had

765
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: been earlier in the season. And there's some opportunities against

766
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: this this Miami defensive unit, There's no question about that.

767
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: But I think the Bills need to continue to grow

768
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: on the chore and obviously they want to win the game,

769
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: but they gather, they want to play the game cleanly,

770
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: give Josh Allen an opportunity to see in some different looks,

771
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: and given opportunity for those guys that just continue to

772
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: mesh and try to put together some some real rhythm

773
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: to the opporite. I think there's some opportunities against this team.

774
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: They have a really good linebacking corps, but I think

775
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: there's opportunities to run, and I think there's some opportunities

776
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: on the back end. I mean they had Fitzpatrick. I

777
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: guess it was McDonald out because of an injury. What's

778
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: this situation, I don't know. Right well, last week he

779
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: didn't play at all. I don't think Patrick now was moved.

780
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: They moved him from corner to free safety, and he's

781
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: a fabulous athlete. No, they moved him to corner, Yeah,

782
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: to corner from free safety, that's right, you're right. No,

783
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: but then they moved him back to free safety, Okay,

784
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: And it just seems more comfortable a cornerback in man

785
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: coverage in different things. So there's some there's some things

786
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: going on there. I think there's some opportunities to take

787
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: advantage of this team on the back end, particularly because

788
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: they haven't they haven't been able to rush the Baschler

789
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: as effectively as they had earlier in the year. What

790
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: player are you asking about? McDonald? No, Minca, Fitzpatrick. Yeah

791
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: he's not. Fitzpatrick's Yeah, Fitzpatrick's not even on the injury list,

792
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: so he'll be in. No, No, he'll play, But I'm

793
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: saying he played free safety a lot last week because

794
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 1: McDonald was not available for some reason. I'm not sure

795
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: what the red that's that's what I was saying. McDonald's

796
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: got an ankle. He hasn't participated in practice this week,

797
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: so that's why. Yeah, And you know what, it's it's

798
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: funny you say some of the things. I mean, I

799
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: was looking at a whole bunch of plays from last

800
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: week's game against Jaconville, and you look at the same

801
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: things that the Bills deal with sometimes when Mina's really

802
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: good games when they've defended the run real effectively, and

803
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: then they've had some games when they didn't defend it

804
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: very effectively at all, and last week being one of those,

805
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: and they deal with the same things. People say, well,

806
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: what's the problem. It's just it's just not one thing.

807
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean last week that the you know, the Bills

808
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: were victimized by the jet suite. But that's mean you

809
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: got to figure out how you're going to defend that situation.

810
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: If the defensive end is going to step outside, or

811
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna go way outside, and you're gonna bring a

812
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: linebacker up inside on a little loop stunt. You're going

813
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: to play a cover too, so that you have the

814
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: edge defended. There's all kinds of things. So those same

815
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: things and guys stepping into a wrong gap or lighting

816
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: up too tight and getting pinned inside and providing a

817
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: running lane for the running back, the same things that

818
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: plagued the Bills last week against New England, or some

819
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: of the things that plagued this Dolphins defense at times,

820
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: and gives teams an opportunity to score some points against them. Mark. Thanks,

821
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,480

00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: game season opener at Soldier Field a couple of years ago.

840
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,879

Speaker 1: two three one eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

847
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott talked about it just before they went out

848
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: on the practice field moments before twelve noon today. McDermott

849
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: was asked about the void left when Kyle Williams steps

850
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: aside after this game on Sunday. Here's what the head

851
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: coach said. Yeah, we will miss Kyle. Um. You can't

852
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: replace a guy like Kyle. They come around once in

853
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: a career, um, just for all the reasons that you

854
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: and I both know, Um, you know so um. But

855
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: we'll we'll take from Kyle Is all the great things

856
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: and we'll embed them and what we do. And it's

857
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: been a great opportunity for our young players to watch.

858
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: And we meet every every Friday, first and second year

859
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 1: players and a leadership type development meeting. And I've encouraged

860
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: our young players to watch our older players because before

861
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: you know it, they'll be gone. And what greater lesson

862
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: from a leadership standpoint to learn when it's led by example,

863
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: And Kyle's down that for a number of years here.

864
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: So I'm McDermot on Kyle Williams announcing his retirement. It'll

865
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: come after Sunday's game. We talked about this. He can play,

866
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: though McDermot admits it, we acknowledge it. So they will

867
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: miss Kyle Williams both in terms of the lineup Steve

868
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: who plays defensive tackle, and in terms of the leadership.

869
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not prepared to say which in which area

870
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: they will miss him more just yet. I got to

871
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: think about that a little bit. What about you, I think, well,

872
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: I think one of the things he and I said

873
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: this earlier in the show. He makes guys around him better,

874
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: So it's not just him, you're you're not just unplugging him,

875
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: you're unplugging him. And his effect on the three or

876
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: four or five seven guys around him immediately in the defense,

877
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: plus in the in the run up to the game

878
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. His effect on the guys

879
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: around him in their preparation and what he's he teaches them,

880
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 1: and the credibility he has to get them to listen

881
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: to him without having to ask guys. You know, when

882
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: you have a guy of calib like Kyle on your

883
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: on your roster, you don't have to tell guys to

884
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: listen to him. They know you. You got to be

885
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: an idiot not to see what he's done and how

886
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: he does it and to want a little piece of

887
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: it and to find out how it's done. So his

888
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 1: effect on those other guys or what it's all about,

889
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the thing they're really going

890
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: to miss the most, and it's hard to quantify. Yep,

891
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: take a few calls here, what do you think about

892
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: Kyle's retirement? Let's go to Clinton in Rochester. Hello, Clinton,

893
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us. Hey guys, all right

894
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Sure, talk to you. My favorite

895
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams memory is when he signed my boys jersey

896
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: training camp or to Saint John Fisher. It was it

897
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: was fantastic and I got a picture of it too,

898
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: So that was that was really cool. And we are

899
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: going to the game, my boy and I. It's his

900
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: first football game. He's four years old and it'll be

901
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: his very first NFL game. Cool. Wow, that's kind of

902
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 1: nice that you've got the jersey for him that Kyle signed.

903
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: It will be Kyle's last game. That'll be something he remembers. Probably,

904
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: that's that's great. I sure hope so. But yeah, I'm

905
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: very proud to say that this will be his first

906
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: football game. Even asking me for quite some time and

907
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: I said, gotta be pty trained, And well, it is

908
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: that a requirement because there's been times at the stadium

909
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know if that's really that's not a

910
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: prerequisite sometimes. Yeah, yeah, I got thanks, that's great, congratulations,

911
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: enjoy the game. Yeah, look, hey, tickets for this game

912
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. I'm not saying there's gonna be

913
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,760
Speaker 1: a rush on the box office, but it's a different

914
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: field of this game. Now for Bill's fan, Steve, I'm

915
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: sure people are buying tickets saying we'll shoot Kyle's last game.

916
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: I want to see that. I'm to stop buying. Say hi,

917
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: yeah for sure, even if for all those people who

918
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: looking for it hadn't needed an extra reason to come in. Yeah,

919

Speaker 1: you know you're gonna be there anyway. I'm gonna be

920
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: there and enjoying it. Clarence on the line in Buffalo. Hello,

921
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: Clarence walking to the show. How you guys today? Good? Good, good? Um.

922
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that Kyle Willams was definitely

923
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: the mister Buffalo Bill as far as I was concerned.

924
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not only just for the community, but

925
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: for the fans and mostly for the organization because you

926
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: never found any problems with him as far as anything

927
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: going on. You know, he's always the typical professional. The

928
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: other thing, the two things that I wanted like to

929
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: see on Sunday is that if it's possible, for one thing,

930
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: is that when they do the introductions, that Kyle Willins

931
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: comes out and let him be out there. I know

932
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to do as far as being alone,

933
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: and that the people standing, give him a standing ovation,

934
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: and if it comes down to the last few players

935
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: of the game and the Bills need to touchdown, give

936
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: him the balls let him score. Yeah, I'd be up

937
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: for that. Actually, So I do a pregame interview with

938
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: coach McDermot and I did that at about eleven fifty

939
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: eight today. But I asked him that we had a

940
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: couple questions about Kyle. I said, Hey, if you can

941
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: do it, how would you feel about another Kyle Williams

942
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: touchdown run like last year against my m If it works, Yeah,

943
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: I'll take six x two if he wants to do

944
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: that exactly. Kyle Williams announcing his retirement. We're talking to

00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean that this stuff with cut Yeah, it's it's

1068
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: important though, This stuff with Kyle's important. It's the team's

1069
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: losing a really good player and a really good leader.

1070
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: That the fans are losing one of their favorite players.

1071
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: There's one game left in a season. The teams that

1072
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: that we're the team, you know, for the I think

1073
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: more so than in any team any time in recent history,

1074
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: this team looks like it's headed up big time. And

1075
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: it's tough to say goodbye to a guy that you

1076
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: wish was going to be a part of it. That's

1077
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the bottom line for a

1078
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: lot of guys. This is it. It's a real hopeful

1079
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: atmosphere here in this building these days, and to see

1080
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: Kyle say goodbye to it, it's got to be doubly

1081
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: hard for him. Yeah, let's take a few phone calls.

1082
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: What do you think about Kyle William's decision? What are

1088
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 1: Kind of right? My my brother two years ago, we're

1089
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: down at the Harbor Center there in the Harbor area

1090
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: kind of wandering around, and there was Kyle and his

1091
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: family down by the water on the boats and all

1092
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: that and having a good time. I thought it was him,

1093
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: and I stopped. He talked for a little bit. Uh,

1094
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: he's really friendly, real nice guy. I'll miss that of him.

1095
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: He seems like he's a good guy. He has a

1096
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: good family, and we just told him good luck and

1097
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: we moved on. But it was really nice and I

1098
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: enjoyed his career here. Yeah, he is who he seems

1099
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: to be. I mean, there's no put on on Kyle's

1100
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: he's not on for the fans, he's not on for

1101
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: the cameras. He's he's always who he is, twenty four

1102
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: hours a day, seven days a week, where no matter

1103
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: where he is. So I think, you know, I think,

1104
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: particularly here in Buffalo, we appreciate that. Um, maybe more

1105
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 1: so than any other fan base. Uh. The guys are

1106
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: real and genuine, not only in you know, on camera

1107
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: when they're in in in the public eye, but also

1108
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: when they're in private, when they're off with their families

1109
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: at restaurants and sightseeing and doing stuff in town. So yeah,

1110
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the things Kyle has brought and

1111
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought it up. It's uh nice to

1112
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: hear from Ken. Thanks. Awful lot of family time for Kyle,

1113
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: and people who spot them around town know that five kids. Yeah,

1114
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: thank you, five kids, and um, he's always with them.

1115
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: I saw them, the whole group, Stephen. We were in

1116
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: Miami well a month ago. I signed the Bills play

1117
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and I was on my way to a

1118
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: Bill's staff function and uh walking down the A one

1119
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 1: A and Fort Lauderdale and here comes the Williams family,

1120
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: all five of them, about six thirty pm, just off

1121
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: the beach. I don't know if they were in the

1122
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: water or not, but it was clear that they had

1123
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: just you know, Kyle's probably you know what, he got

1124
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: an hour and a half, two hours of downtime when

1125
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: you're on those road trips. Maybe maybe, And Kyle took

1126
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: his family to the beach. They were there on the trip.

1127
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 1: They went to the beach, sun setting at six thirty

1128
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: they're coming off the beach. But awful lot of time

1129
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: with his family over the years, that's for sure. Thanks

1130
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: for your call. Let's we got another call here. Let's

1131
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: read a tweet from the tweet sheet let's go to

1132
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: a Bradon McCarthy favorite Kyle Williams memory. His mauling of

1133
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: Johnny Manzel against the Browns is something I will never forget.

1134
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: Great play down near the end zone. He crushed Johnny Manziel,

1135
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: ball came out, Bills couldn't get it in the end

1136
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: zone for the touchdown, but it was a big play

1137
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: in a game that I thought exposed Johnny Manzel. And

1138
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: finally from Big Wentz, this tweet my favorite post nineties

1139
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill, Kyle Williams. This man was a true leader,

1140
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't off the field, played with heart and class.

1141
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: Hashtag thank you Kyle. That's kind of tributes that are

1142
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 1: coming in right from all over the place. Yeah, there's

1143
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: plenty of them out there. We uh, And now we

1144
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to the guy who's going

1145
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,959
Speaker 1: to talk about it all afternoon. Is my former partner

1146
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: in the booth, Steve Verline. Parachutes in trouble getting around Buffalo,

1147
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: do you? I mean I have kind of trouble everywhere

1148
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: I can handle. You know that, Steve cbs so call

1149
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday the Bills on the Dolphins. Longtime

1150
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback, former Nordaine quarterback. Let's just tell you it

1151
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: is not unusual for him to be about ten minutes late. Okay,

1152
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: well maybe four or five minutes late. Ten. We appreciate

1153
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: whenever you arrive. We appreciate you coming. Thanks for come.

1154
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: Is another dame in my bowl game this year, the

1155
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: General Bowls or something like fairly significant party. Who do

1156
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: they play? I think the team called Clemson, little from

1157
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Oh wow, that's too bad. Yeah, I agree,

1158
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: but I'm still pulling for I'm pulling for for sure, Steve.

1159
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: You prep all week for this game, and I wonder,

1160
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: as you've prepped for this game how much I thought

1161
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: you gave to Kyle Williams and whether this is it

1162
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: for him and maybe some other Buffalo Bills. Well, we

1163
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: had talked about that during the course of the week.

1164
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: You know, I know last year the issues or at

1165
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: least was being considered by Kyle lash year where they

1166
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 1: wanted to come back for another and you know, alpha

1167
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: playoff year last year was it would have been a

1168
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: nice way to maybe right off into the sunset. Although

1169
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: I think he felt, like a lot of people that

1170
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: if you got decent quarterback player this year, that this

1171
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 1: team had a chance to maybe do some damage again

1172
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: this year. But obviously the year didn't go exactly the

1173
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: way people had planned. And but the bottom line is

1174
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: it's been unbelievable run for Kyle and just a tremendous

1175
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: asset to the organization, the community and so productive over

1176
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 1: so many years, and a guy that's going to be

1177
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: pretty hard to replace. Yeah, in some ways that the

1178
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: season didn't go at least as well as they had hoped,

1179
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: but it certainly in a lot of ways went exactly

1180
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: as planned. They got a chance to play a young

1181
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,240
Speaker 1: quarterback and found out about a lot of young players

1182
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: on their roster. What are your thoughts about this matchup

1183
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: of the Bills maybe had one of their best offensive

1184
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: performances of the year against Dolphins the last time they

1185
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: play over four hundred yards of offense. Of course, Josh

1186
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: Allen ran all over the place, which is not really

1187
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: the plan, but this is a game they felt got

1188
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: away from him. What do you think about the matchup

1189
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: this time around? Well, I think it's a game that

1190
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: they should go into fully expecting to win and try

1191
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: to end the season on the right note. Dolphins team

1192
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: that really you don't really have a clear vision where

1193
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: this team is going. They're not sure who their quarterback

1194
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: is going to be next year. I think with the

1195
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, you're looking at the team that's on the

1196
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: upswing that everybody feels like is definitely moving in the

1197
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: right direction, and they found the quarterback. I absolutely love

1198
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and as you said, he did play well

1199
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: in the last game with a one hundred and thirty

1200
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: five yards Russian I think, and through for over two

1201
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty yards, played very well. They let the

1202
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: games slip away, But but I know that shoot, I

1203
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: think he's five five on the year, isn't he so

1204
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: h four and four and five, so this will be

1205
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: five and five that's right. Yeah, as a guy who

1206
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: starts to finishes right. As one game he didn't finish right.

1207
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: But but I absolutely think that that he is. He

1208
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: is an absolute dynamite prospect and a guy that's going

1209
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: to continue to develop. And um, he was a guy

1210
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: that I had him ranked as the top guy coming

1211
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: out this past year, and um, you know, very excited

1212
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: to see him make the jump from year one to

1213
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: year two. But also we had the Chargers game earlier

1214
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: in the year, and so to see his development and

1215
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: his progress up close from the beginning of the season

1216
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: to the end of the season will be fun on

1217
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: Sunday with Steve Berlin from the NFL on CBS. He

1218
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: will call the game the color man on the game

1219
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: the Sunday Bills in the Miami Dolphins. Yeah, you had

1220
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: the his first start, now you get his last started,

1221
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: his eleventh start of the year. Where do you see

1222
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: the progress? What do you see Josh Allen doing well?

1223
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: I think in uh, in a lot of different ways. Um.

1224
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: You know that there's still a lot of room for growth, obviously,

1225
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: which is really the exciting part of it. But you

1226
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: see him seemingly more comfortable in the pocket getting through

1227
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: his reads. Uh. And also one of the key factors,

1228
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: and you know that Steve is uh to to know

1229
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: when to get rid of the football and avoid taking

1230
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: the hits that Um, maybe he is learning the hardway

1231
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: a little bit as far as you know when it's

1232
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: good to be the tough guy, when it's right to

1233
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: hurdle somebody, which we saw that earlier earlier in there,

1234
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that he was told very clearly, don't

1235
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: don't make that a habit. But um, you know you

1236
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: see him just in general looking more confident, more comfortable

1237
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: on the football field and making better decisions. Still a

1238
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: lot of room for improvement, like I said, but it's

1239
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: exciting what what I see. And I look at the footwork,

1240
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: and I look at the when he really sets strong

1241
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: in the pocket and knows where he wants to go

1242
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: with that football. Some of the throws that he makes

1243
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: are big time throws? Can I ask one more? It's

1244
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: it's a question about the Buffalo offense and Josh Allen

1245
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: um as good as he's been and the deep throws

1246
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: he makes. I mean, I think he's got the longest

1247
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: average A him to pass rating in the league. But

1248
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: the Bills don't seem to have a short passing game.

1249
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,479
Speaker 1: Is that necessary for them with him to develop moving

1250
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: into next year? They really he is not for whatever reason,

1251
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: it's not comfortable. Maybe he's not asked to throw and

1252
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: complete short passes. Well, I think it's all part of

1253
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: Brian Dable's package. They've got a lot of short passes

1254
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: in there. I'm sure. The mentality of Josh Allen, though,

1255
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: I think, is something that that you can't coach a

1256
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: person to be really more aggressive, a gunslinger type of guy,

1257
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: which is the way Jim Kelly was, which is the

1258
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: way all the great quarterbacks are. They're not afraid to

1259
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: take chances, and Josh Allen's got that. He likes pushing

1260
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: the ball up the field. He wants to make the

1261
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: big plays and the big throws, and that's one of

1262
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: the things that in his evolution and development as a quarterback,

1263
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: He'll learn to get through his progressions and get to

1264
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: that third or fourth guy and the completion percentage will

1265
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: go up traumatically with that. People are knocking him about

1266
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: the completion percentage that was a coming out of college

1267
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: as well, but I think it's also an under just

1268
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: an understanding of, you know, when to take the chances

1269
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: down the field. Get used to getting the completions, taking

1270
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: the short passes that are right there in front of you.

1271
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: And I think you'll see a lot more of that

1272
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: next year and as he develops as a quarterback. What

1273
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: do you see in the Miami Dolphins at this point

1274
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: of the year, They're they're in the same kind of

1275
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: the same boat the Bills are. They're out of the

1276
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: playoffs and they're kind of limping in here. Their injury

1277
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: list is long as opposed to the Bills, who've only

1278
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: got three or four guys listed. Yeah, you know, you

1279
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: look at Miami and the hopes were pretty high going

1280
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: into the season as long as Tannehill, if he could,

1281
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: if he could stay healthy. Obviously that didn't happen again,

1282
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: which is the biggest question mark I think regarding his future.

1283
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people believe he can be

1284
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. But if he's not available, if he's

1285
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: not able to be on the field, that's that's a

1286
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: liability big time. So that's gonna be a big tough

1287
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: decision the Dolphins have to make this offseason. In general,

1288
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: I think they're a team that is really still searching

1289
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: for their identity. You know, Adam Gase came onto the

1290
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: scene a couple of years ago and and really looked

1291
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: like he had a clear vision for where he wanted

1292
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: to take this program and this team. And now we're

1293
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: here sitting here after what is it, year three or

1294
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,479
Speaker 1: three playoffs right out of the gate, and then yeah,

1295
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: and you you still don't know what exactly their their

1296
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: plan is going forward, and you know a lot of

1297
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: people question whether he's even gonna be there next year. So, um,

1298
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: this is this is two different teams going to different

1299
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: different directions, I believe, and um, it's a very important

1300
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: game for for both teams just to try to end

1301
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: the season on the right note. And uh, Kyle, we

1302
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: got to see Berlin for the NFL on CBS with us.

1303
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: He's calling the game on Sunday. I got another Kyle

1304
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: Williams question for you, and that's and you're in a

1305
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: good position to answer this, I would think, se um

1306
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: national perspective, do you think on Kyle Williams? A guy

1307
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: who played in Buffalo, played in one playoff game, went

1308
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: to five Pro Bowls? That's significant. But what do you

1309
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: think is um? What do people say and think about

1310
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams around the NFL, especially now with the news

1311
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: that he's calling it quits. Well, well, people that know

1312
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: football know exactly what he's been in terms of just consistency,

1313
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: durability in terms of production as an interior defensive lineman.

1314
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: The numbers that he was able to put up with

1315
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: a number of tackles and also getting that push and

1316
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: that pressure up the middle with the sack numbers as well.

1317
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: And I think this year still four or five sacks

1318
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: on the season this year for him in his final year.

1319
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:34,439
Speaker 1: But the work ethic, the motor, the engine have never

1320
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 1: ever stopping, never quit, and he's not had many injuries

1321
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: during the course of his career, has been able to

1322
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: always fight through and take care of his body. I

1323
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: was talking to Brandon being the general manager a little

1324
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: bit earlier today and he said, well, we're obviously going

1325
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: to miss the production that he's given us over the years,

1326
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: but the things that you can't replace are that leadership

1327
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: and that example that he sets for his teammates about

1328
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 1: how to bring it every day and how to prepare

1329
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: yourself every day. You know, we talked a lot about it.

1330
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about Josh Allen, and they brought

1331
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: in Derek Anderson and Matt Barkley. Is veteran guys who lead,

1332
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: and those veteran guys, even though they're not playing or

1333
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: helping him how to know how to prepare what. And

1334
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: I guess it's the same thing with Kyle Williams. It's

1335
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: not just that he's a great player. And we've said

1336
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: this earlier in the show, that he elevates the play

1337
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: of the guys around him by his ability to teach

1338
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: them how to prepare better and teach them how to

1339
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: work hard and to teach them some of the things

1340
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: that doesn't isn't on a play in a playbook. Talk

1341
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: to the importance of that about you know, how good

1342
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: a player can make other players. That's you said it, well, man,

1343
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things that you cannot really

1344
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: measure it. The way that he goes about handling himself

1345
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis. And again I'll quote from Brandon Bean.

1346
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 1: He said, Kyle was always the guy that after a

1347
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: tough loss, you come into that locker room and everybody's

1348
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: just got their heads down and so disappointed about the

1349
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: fact that they lost a difficult football game. He's the

1350
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: guy that always knows the right thing to say, are

1351
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: the right thing to focus on to get these guys ready,

1352
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's after the game on Sunday or

1353
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: coming in on Monday morning, pulling everybody together and saying, hey,

1354
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, this is what we got to think about this,

1355
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: We've got to take from that loss. This is how

1356
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 1: we've got to move forward. And he said those are

1357
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: things that you can't replace, as well as the things

1358
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: that he just did naturally every day as far as

1359
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: going about doing his job. So the productivity is something

1360
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: that's very easy to measure. You see what he did

1361
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 1: on the football field for all those years, but that

1362
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: leadership is just it's an intangible that is very hard

1363
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: to replace. Steve Merlin will call the game Sunday, the

1364
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: Bills and the Miami Dolphins. And a different partner for

1365
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: you and the brunt Kiss boos, right, Beth Mullins. Ye

1366
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: have we worked with her before? I have not, And

1367
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker knows. We were partners for what three and

1368
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: a half four years, and we seem to always find

1369
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: a way to get um dramatic change and our team

1370
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: on a fairly regularly constant thing. And our crew was

1371
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: changed change exactly right. So I'm excited to work with Beth.

1372
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: I I've met her a couple of times. I don't

1373
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: know her that well, but I've heard of fantastic things

1374
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: about her and as as far as her preparation in

1375
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: the way that she handles a game. So I'm looking

1376
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: forward to working with her on Sunday. It'll be fun.

1377
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Rights from right down the road in Syracuse, right, Remember

1378
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: we had her on the show back in this summer. Yeah,

1379
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: right down the road. She's got a good. Buffalo's got

1380
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: a great broadcast booth too, so they do. You couldn't

1381
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: always say that I know, yes, we know that. Yeah,

1382
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 1: where and how are you watching Notre Dame tomorrow? You

1383
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: know this? This is one of the really tomorrow night.

1384
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: This is one of the really bad parts about being

1385
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: in Buffalo this weekend. All my buddies, all my Notre

1386
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: Dame buddies are in Dallas, are getting in the day,

1387
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: And of course I had a lot of opportunities to

1388
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: go out there, and um I was invited to be

1389
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: a part of a lot of the festivities, but I

1390
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: had to tell everybody I'm actually gonna be in Buffalo

1391
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: and the Bills and the Dolphins. Uh. And the problem

1392
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: is that Dolphins get in tomorrow about four thirty, let's

1393
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: right about kickoff, and we've got to go meet the

1394
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins at the hotel. We're meeting with them at five fifteen,

1395
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,919
Speaker 1: So I'll get a watch probably the first half hour

1396
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: of the game, and then we'll be meeting with the Dolphins,

1397
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: and then we'll probably have our production meeting after that,

1398
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: so I'll be able to see the highlights. It's definitely

1399
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: it does think you know less fun things about our job,

1400
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: exactly happy to do it, looking forward to Sunday, and

1401
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,919
Speaker 1: truly I am excited about Josh Allen. I really really

1402
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: think you guys got a good one in him. And

1403
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Bean is doing a super job and

1404
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: building this team with along with Sean McDermott, moving them

1405
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 1: in the right direction. They've got some work to do,

1406
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: but you can see, you can see it happening, and

1407
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: I think the AFC East this is a great time

1408
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: to be on the upswing because you know what's happening

1409
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: when New England they're kind of starting to crack a

1410
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: little bit. Listen, we've we've been saying that. We have

1411
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 1: a couple of convert stations about that this week. So

1412
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: we had a Twitter poll yesterday who what was it?

1413
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Who's the brightest, tightest future the next two to four years?

1414
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: In the Believe it or Not? Bills fans voted like

1415
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: sixty six percent to Bills. I think it is Bills.

1416
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: I think it is Bill. I really do I believe it. Yeah,

1417
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: Well we'll see two or four years down. Yes, that's right.

1418
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,600
Speaker 1: Thanks hey Stinger, thanks for coming in. Man. Great Steve

1435
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,640

01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:16,439

Speaker 1: NFL Matchup on ESPN. Senior producer NFL Films, Greg, John

1443
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: Murphy and Steve here in Buffalo. Happy New Year. How

1444
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: are you doing today, gentlemen? Happy newity to you guys.

1445
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: It's always good to be with you. Yeah. Well, it's

1446
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: the season finale and that comes with I guess mixed emotions, Greg,

1447
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: But there is stuff to play for for the Buffalo

1448
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Bills and the Miami Dolphins this week, don't you agree? Well,

1449
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,719
Speaker 1: I think Steve could probably answer that better than I could.

1450
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 1: But I would think that anytime you step on the field,

1451
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,560
Speaker 1: there's always something to play for. Yeah, I mean that's

1452
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: a good point. But by the same token, these two teams,

1453
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: you know they're not going to the playoffs. There's it

1454
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: starts to be come in my opinion, Greg, it starts

1455
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: to become individual. They start to think about their own

1456
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: careers and their own film and the things they're putting

1457
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: out there. And some of these guys are going to

1458
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: be free agents, some of them as contracts are coming

1459
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: to a close. It becomes an individual sport rather than

1460
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: a team game, and that's I think it's unfortunate. But

1461
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: since the situation, a lot of teams find themselves out,

1462
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: find themselves in at this point of the year, what

1463
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: do you what is your favorite matchup of this week?

1464
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: I know we're here kind of preoccupied with the Kyle

1465
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: Williams retirement, but you guys there with the league wide view,

1466
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: what's your favorite matchup this week? Well, in some ways,

1467
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: my favorite matchup might be Baltimore Cleveland. I think the

1468
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 1: way Cleveland's been playing, I think the way Baker Mayfield's

1469
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: been playing. If you go back to Week five, in

1470
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: some ways, that was Baker Mayfield's coming out party when

1471
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 1: they first played the Ravens and they won that game

1472
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,599
Speaker 1: in overtime. Obviously a different Ravens team then, because Lamar

1473
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 1: Jackson was not playing at that point, but I thought

1474
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 1: that was a game where Baker Mayfield against a really

1475
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:13,639
Speaker 1: good defense, really started to show the traits that he's

1476
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 1: now showed fairly consistently throughout this season. So if I

1477
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: had to pick one game, I would say that game

1478
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: probably intrigues me the most. Gig what are those traits.

1479
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: How does Baker Mayfield distinguish himself to be at the

1480
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: head of the class for this rookie quarterback class. Well,

1481
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things stand out Murphy as

1482
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: the season has progressed. Number One, he has quick eyes.

1483
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: He sees the field, and I think you have to

1484
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: start with that because a lot of these young quarterbacks

1485
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: come in the league and coaches can define throws for

1486
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,600
Speaker 1: them up to a point, but at some point you

1487
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 1: have to be able to see the field, and I

1488
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 1: think Mayfield sees the field and he has very quick eyes.

1489
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 1: He has a very quick stroke, he throws the ball accurately,

1490
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: and he's willing to turn it loose. I always field

1491
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: that's a positive trait in an NFL quarterback, the willingness

1492
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 1: to make the kinds of throws that are needed in

1493
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: those critical situations. We've seen a lot of quarterbacks through

1494
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: the years. I can't think of one right off hand,

1495
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,759
Speaker 1: but are very quick to check it down, very quick

1496
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball and not let the

1497
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: progression develop. Mayfield is a turn it loose guy, and

1498
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: he's accurate, so he can make good throws at the

1499
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 1: intermediate and deeper levels. Do you think the Cleveland Brows

1500
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 1: are at a point even now where they've played so

1501
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 1: much better with Greg Williams that they can go into

1502
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore and win there. I do. I mean, I'm not

1503
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: saying they will, but I think they can. I think. Look,

1504
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens are a very difficult team to prepare for

1505
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 1: offensively because of the Lamar Jackson factor. They've been running

1506
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: a ton of pistol. They do a lot of things

1507
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: in the backfield that are different than most teams do,

1508
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: and certainly Lamar Jackson factor as a runner demands that

1509
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: you play a certain way. It's very difficult to play

1510
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:04,839
Speaker 1: with two deep safeties when the quarterback is a run factor.

1511
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson did have his best game throwing last week,

1512
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: but he's still very erratic as a passer. He misses

1513
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: a lot of what would be by NFL standards routine

1514
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: throws with poor accuracy. He clearly throws the ball better

1515
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field than outside the numbers,

1516
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: and that goes back to his tape at Louisville. He's

1517
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 1: not a very good thrower outside the numbers at all.

1518
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,839
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Ravens are all about let's win this Sunday.

1519
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,560
Speaker 1: Let's do what we can to get ourselves in the playoffs.

1520
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 1: But on some level they got to be thinking, and

1521
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: maybe you've given some fuck right to whether that model

1522
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 1: of offense and the way Lamar Jackson runs it and

1523
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: throws it, whether that's sustainable long term? What do you

1524
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: think is that going to work for them? You know,

1525
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: that'll be I think the big question for a lot

1526
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: of teams this offseason as they look ahead to the

1527
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,719
Speaker 1: quarterback position moving forward. I'm sure the Ravens have thought

1528
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: about it. I think it will need to be modified. Ultimately,

1529
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 1: it's it's how much the quarterback runs with the ball,

1530
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: you know. I think clearly that style of offense puts

1531
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: a lot of stress on defenses. And oh, I'm sorry, ahead,

1532
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna I thought you were finished. I was

1533
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: gonna move on. But go ahead and finish that up.

1534
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: About Lamar Jackson's I think it's fascinating what they're doing

1535
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, but I think, and maybe I'm old

1536
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: school Steve, but I think at some point throws will

1537
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: have to be made. Last week they played a good

1538
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 1: Chargers team. They scored sixteen points on offense. They had

1539
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: a defensive touchdown I think at some point he will

1540
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 1: have to throw better and more consistently than he is now.

1541
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,759
Speaker 1: We were talking in our matchup room about whether, over

1542
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: time you've seen quarterbacks who are not consistently accurate, do

1543
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: they become more accurate? And it's hard pressed to say

1544
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: that guys really become significantly more accurate. So we'll see

1545
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 1: no question about the stress and the conflict that he

1546
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: causes for defense, but you're still going to have to

1547
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: make throws. He made a fuel last week and missed

1548
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: a bunch that people don't see because they're not on

1549
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: the highlights. Well this week seventeen. But I think for

1550
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: a couple of teams, the playoffs have already started. Tennessee

1551
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: and Indianapolis play and it really is a playoff game.

1552
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: The winner gets to keep playing and the loser goes

1553
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:26,520
Speaker 1: home without question. And I think you have two teams

1554
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: that are probably pretty distinct in what their profiles are.

1555
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:33,440
Speaker 1: I think for Tennessee, regardless of who lines up at quarterback,

1556
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 1: they're going to play to their running back Derrick Henry,

1557
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and to their defense. And obviously, if it is Mariota,

1558
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 1: he has a little more secondary action improvisational ability that

1559
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 1: does help them sustain offense at times. He's also been

1560
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: a little erratic this year throwing the ball, So I

1561
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: think that they have a defined way they play. I

1562
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:56,440
Speaker 1: think with the Colts against a good defense like Tennessee,

1563
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: you'd like to have some balance in your offense. As

1564
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: good as Luck has been, and he's been very, very good,

1565
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they'd like him to drop back forty

1566
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 1: five times in this game. And their defense has significantly

1567
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 1: improved over the last seven or eight weeks. People probably

1568
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: have not noticed that, Steve, because everybody focuses on Andrew Luck,

1569
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:17,719
Speaker 1: but the Colts defense has improved significantly. We're with Greg Cosell,

1570
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: executive producer analysts of NFL Matchup on ESPN, Senior producer

1571
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: NFL Films. Want to ask you about an NFC game

1572
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota and the Fairs in Minnesota Sunday afternoon, four to

1573
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: twenty five pm. You know, last night, Greg, I was

1574
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: watching the Dolphins in Minnesota from a couple of weeks

1575
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: ago and keeping an eye on case Keenum. I wondered,

1576
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: you think they they're getting what they thought they'd get

1577
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: from Case Keenum up there in Minnesota. They get a

1578
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 1: chance to make the playoffs, here. But are they getting you, Kirk?

1579
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 1: You're talking Kirk Cousins. I assume, yeah, Kirk Cousins. What

1580
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 1: did I say, Kase Keenum, Yeah, Kirk Cousins, k Yeah, Yeah.

1581
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Are they get what they expected? You think? I would

1582
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: say probably not as much as they were hoping for.

1583
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: And I think the last number of weeks since Kevin

1584
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,640
Speaker 1: Stefanski took over as the offensive cordin. I'm sure it

1585
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: comes as down as an edict from Mike Zimmer, but

1586
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:07,719
Speaker 1: they've become a run first team and I think they'll

1587
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 1: stay that way. I think they're playing to their run

1588
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: game now. They're certainly playing to their defense, which is

1589
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,639
Speaker 1: very very good. For the second year in a row,

1590
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: they're the best third down defense in the league. And

1591
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: think about this, guys, They've now played what fifteen games,

1592
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: and opposing offenses have only converted fifty third downs the

1593
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: entire year in fifteen games, and that's phenomenal. So, you know,

1594
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: I think that's the way they're playing now. And I

1595
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 1: think they're hoping that Cousins can make some throws off

1596
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: play action, boot action. That's what they've been doing with him.

1597
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:43,640
Speaker 1: It's been a very short condensed passing game, So my

1598
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: guess is they haven't gotten exactly what they hoped for.

1599
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to this weekend's matchup here

1600
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,759
Speaker 1: at Orchard Park. I mean, we can talk about Josh

1601
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: Allen and the game he had against Miami a few

1602
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 1: weeks ago, where really I think it was their best

1603
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: offensive performance with him at the helm, but they still

1604
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,799
Speaker 1: up short and the win lost column. And then Miami

1605
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 1: comes in I think limping a little bit. They've got

1606
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: a long injury list. Yeah, and they've been so up

1607
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: and down on offense. To me, they're a tough team

1608
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: to watch on offense. Sometimes I'm not sure what they're

1609
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 1: trying to get done. And you know, I say that

1610
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 1: honestly from studying them on tape. You know, I think

1611
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 1: that they have a big decision to make on Tannehill

1612
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,759
Speaker 1: as to where they see that. It was interesting Adam Gaze,

1613
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: who's not normally a guy who says a lot publicly,

1614
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:31,600
Speaker 1: kind of talked about his quarterback last week and not

1615
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: in particularly glowing terms. So I think, you know, they'll

1616
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 1: they'll have to decide where they want to go with

1617
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. But they they are to me, they don't

1618
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: really have an identity on offense. They're a tough team

1619
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: on a week to week basis to figure out as

1620
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: far as Tannehill greg they're getting Ryan Tannehill type of

1621
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 1: year right seven years in. This is what he does.

1622
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: He gets hurt a little bit, miss is some time

1623
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: he's good, some days not so good the other days.

1624
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: And it's basically he's following the template that he's done

1625
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: the first seven years of his career. And and I think, Murph,

1626
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 1: that's why you have to think about it, you know,

1627
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: because this probably now the sample size is large enough

1628
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: where you probably are going to say this is Ryan Tannehill. Yeah,

1629
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure that that when Adam Gays was hired as

1630
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: the head coach, the fielding was because of Gaye's offensive

1631
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: background that Tannehill could take that quote unquote next step.

1632
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 1: But he's been injured a lot. He hasn't been on

1633
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: the field enough. When he has been on the field,

1634
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 1: the same inconsistencies exist. The issue you face though whenever

1635
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: you want to think about quarterbacks, and I know fan

1636
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,679
Speaker 1: bases always say, oh we need another quarterback, is who's

1637
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 1: it going to be? You know, you have to line

1638
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: up with someone and if it's not Ryan Tannehill, who

1639
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 1: is it? And a question for you about the Buffalo

1640
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: offensive if I make greg and Yes, the Bills like

1641
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 1: what they've seen from Josh Allen, of course, but they

1642
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,639
Speaker 1: want to see more. Yeah, as they should. They want

1643
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: to see more. And I'm wondering if they need to

1644
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 1: get more of a short passing game involved not necessarily

1645
01:19:58,320 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: the sun they but down the road they get the

1646
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen maybe is a more multifunctional NFL quarterback? What

1647
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: do you see there? I agree with that one hundred percent.

1648
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,639
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the issues with Josh

1649
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: even when he came out of Wyoming that concerned people

1650
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 1: is he's not really a pace and touch thrower. He's

1651
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: kind of a rifle armed guy, and I think he

1652
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 1: needs a lot of work with that, and I think

1653
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 1: to me that should be one of the focuses of

1654
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: the off season because he's going to have to make

1655
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:25,719
Speaker 1: more of those throws. I think one of his early

1656
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: throws in the game, it might have been his first

1657
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,679
Speaker 1: throw where he kind of drilled a ball into the ground.

1658
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 1: It was his zone defense and he drilled it into

1659
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:36,600
Speaker 1: the ground and that throw was technically there. There was

1660
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: an open window to make that throw. Those are the

1661
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 1: kinds of throws he needs to work on. And you know, again,

1662
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 1: whether it happens or not, only time will tell, But

1663
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: I think that should be one of the focuses of

1664
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:50,640
Speaker 1: the offseason in terms of the kinds of throws he

1665
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: needs to make. Yeah, And in fact, that's gonna be

1666
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: one of the questions that's going to be overriding in

1667
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: the off season for Alan is where is he What

1668
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: can he do when he's not taking reps every day

1669
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 1: in an NFL practice, when he's not throwing to NFL

1670
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 1: receivers every day? What steps can you take to get better?

1671
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts about you know, how big

1672
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 1: a step he could take or what tangible things he

1673
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 1: could do to get better without having a practice. Well,

1674
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, I know that leading up to the draft,

1675
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 1: I know that he worked with Jordan Palmer, who who

1676
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, played in the league and is very good. Now,

1677
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if he goes back because obviously players

1678
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 1: can't be with the team for quite a while after

1679
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,599
Speaker 1: the season ends. I think that's in the CBA, So

1680
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if he goes back and works with Jordan.

1681
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what his plans are, but I think,

1682
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, we just talked about something he absolutely needs

1683
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: to work on. I think he needs to work on

1684
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: settling his feet a little more when he delivers the ball,

1685
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 1: which I think in an ideal world that could help accuracy.

1686
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: That's so you need to try that. But I think

1687
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: overall he has clearly improved. I thought this week, Okay,

1688
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,680
Speaker 1: the numbers may not have been great, and he may

1689
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: never would be a sixty eight percent passer, but I

1690
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: thought this was another strong game for him. I thought

1691
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: that he continued to play with more poison a pocket.

1692
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: I thought he was more composed. He didn't leave the

1693
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: pocket as much prematurely as he's done in the past.

1694
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 1: He knew where to go with the ball. I thought

1695
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 1: he played pretty well. They were some throws that were dropped.

1696
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: You know, he threw the good long ball to Foster

1697
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: early in the game. I guess did he lose that

1698
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,639
Speaker 1: in his son? Was that what happened? Yes, Foster lost it? Yeah, yeah,

1699
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 1: I mean that was a good throw. You know, he

1700
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 1: ran by Gilmore and that was a good throw. And

1701
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: I guess was a McKenzie who had drop a bad

1702
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 1: drop as well. There's a couple of them. Yeah, there

1703
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 1: were a couple of them. But I thought he was

1704
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,759
Speaker 1: a little more composed, a little more patient. I thought

1705
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: that this week was another solid step forward and the

1706
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 1: only thing you ever want to dwell on it because

1707
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: it was last week Greg. But I thought he was

1708
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: and it's it's to be expected, I guess, first time

1709
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 1: against Balitchick's defense, I thought he was confused and a

1710
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 1: little bit be fuddled, especially in the early third downs

1711
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: where the looks on New England was given him. And

1712
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,640
Speaker 1: that's not surprising. I mean, look, you know the interception

1713
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: he threw. I'm not talking about the one late in

1714
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: the game. I'm talking about the one by J. C. Jackson, right.

1715
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 1: You know, I looked at that play over and over

1716
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: again because I was trying to figure out exactly what

1717
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 1: the defense was. It looked like it was cover A

1718
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 1: one to me, but I don't, you know, And it

1719
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 1: looked like Jackson did a nice job of playing, you know,

1720
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: with his eyes understanding, because he ended up having Croom

1721
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 1: because it was a it was a trips bunch and

1722
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 1: they played the releases, not the man, so Jackson ended

1723
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: up with Croom, who just kind of released softly into

1724
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: the flat so you know, I was struggling to decide

1725
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 1: whether that was a great play by Jackson or a

1726
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 1: lack of awareness by Josh. But you know, those are

1727
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: the kinds of plays. Obviously. You can't make those throws

1728
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 1: unless you feel comfortable making it. Yeah, and it's it

1729
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 1: says something about it somebody going back and trying to

1730
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 1: decipher what it is on film and watching it over

1731
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: and over and still not being able to decide, and

1732
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 1: then and deciding what it is two kits of a second. Yeah,

1733
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 1: Josh has to figure that out in less than two seconds, right, Yeah, Yeah,

1734
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 1: it's not dis Yeah, yeah, great. Thanks have a great

1735
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 1: new year. I hope we talked to you again soon,

1736
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: probably next week, I would think, thank you very much,

1737
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: I hope. So guys have a great new year. Appreciate it.

1738
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. Executive producer analysts of NFL Matchup on ESPN,

1739
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,560
Speaker 1: Senior producer at NFL Films. Great insight into Josh and

1740
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,599
Speaker 1: where his game is at. We've been talking to him

1741
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 1: week after week, and Josh is this is eleventh start.

1742
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 1: It's a it's to me and I'm starting to notice it,

1743
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: just like you didn't notice. In bits and pieces of

1744
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,679
Speaker 1: the development of Josh Allen. Josh Allen is winning Greg

1745
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 1: Cosell over in bits and pieces. Have you noticed that? Yeah,

1746
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 1: he's getting more and more positive about Josh Allen. Because

1747
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: he was not that high on him, right, you know,

1748
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 1: you thought he was inaccurate. He didn't see this, But

1749
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: little by little, Greg Cosell is becoming more and more

1750
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: positive about his assessment about Josh Allen. Have you noticed that?

1751
01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:55,719
Speaker 1: I have. I think a lot of people are moving

1752
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: in that direction. Yeah, you know, we'll see there's a

1753
01:24:57,800 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: lot And here's the thing, and I think Greg would

1754
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 1: say this, I will say it. He's got a lot

1755
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:03,640
Speaker 1: of work to do too, Josh Allen a lot more

1756
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: ground to cover to get up to speed to be

1757
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: a first rate NFL quarterback, even with the progress that

1758
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:10,640
Speaker 1: we all see. Absolutely absolutely, and I think one of

1759
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: the things that there's a lot of there's nothing you

1760
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:14,720
Speaker 1: can overgeneralize it. But I know this too that when

1761
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 1: when he came out, one of the things I looked at,

1762
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,679
Speaker 1: you know, when you're trying to get all the information

1763
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: we can. He tested out in all those test and

1764
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 1: who knows whether they're right or not, he tested out

1765
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 1: significantly smarter than all those other guys. I mean, his

1766
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 1: test scores were way up. And to me, and I've

1767
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 1: always said it, smart guys always get better, and you

1768
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: mix that with obviously we've heard nothing but going reports

1769
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 1: about how hard Josh is working to get better. And

1770
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 1: when you're that smart and you're working that hard and

1771
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: you're doing things the right way with the help of

1772
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson and Matt Barkley and Brian Dable and David Culley,

1773
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 1: there should be some significant progress. And we'll see if

1774
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: it continues. But no question, all of those things mixed

1775
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: together have turned into what looks to be a really

1776
01:25:56,080 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 1: promising future. Yep, future that was on the mind. Kyle Williams.

Speaker 1: back about the days and yeah, it's it's fun, man.

1800
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: It's hard to say good it's got to be hard

1801
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: to say goodbye to it. And something that doesn't doesn't

1802
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: you don't. It's not a decision you make lightly. Yeah. Well,

1803
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: the bell's wrapped up practice a bit ago, and Kyle

1804
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: Williams is talking to the media right now, and let's

1805
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 1: tune into some of his news conference today. Kyle Williams

1806
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: first of all, answering a question about how long this

1807
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: has been in the works, when did he start thinking

1808
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 1: about calling it quits after this season. I don't know.

1809
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's surreal. I don't I don't think any

1810
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 1: feelings have really hit bottom yet. Um. It was something

1811
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:52,720
Speaker 1: that I would have preferred to leave out the back door,

1812
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: much like I came in, you know, been very quiet

1813
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:58,559
Speaker 1: and came in and out. But um, luckily we've got

1814
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: some good people here that that convinced me that this

1815
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: needed to be out. People needed to know. So, uh,

1816
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,719
Speaker 1: it'll be uh, it'll be a fun experience. I'm excited

1817
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 1: about it obviously. You know, I don't know that a

1818
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 1: place has ever meant more to anybody. UM, so I'm

1819
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:23,719
Speaker 1: excited for the weekend. This is also about eighteen years

1820
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 1: of We'll see yourself as any player goes through a

1821
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: whole experience. It's not one it's not just a football season.

1822
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: They're awesome camp the whole worse you um, and you've

1823
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: you've done this and the FIM and have to ask yourself.

1824
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure at the end of every year, who I

1825
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: want to do it again? That factor into your thinking. Well, honestly, um,

1826
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 1: a couple of things. I watched way too many t

1827
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: ball and soccer games over FaceTime this spring, more so

1828
01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 1: than than ever. And I think at the end of

1829
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 1: the day, it came down to the things that I

1830
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:06,320
Speaker 1: say are most important to me. Are they really the

1831
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 1: most important things? Or do I just say that because

1832
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 1: that's what everybody else says. So told everybody that's asked

1833
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:16,000
Speaker 1: me about it. At this point, I don't know that

1834
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 1: there's ever a good time, whether it's now or whether

1835
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 1: it's two years from now. It's gonna hurt walking away.

1836
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,759
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a you know, avoid in my life

1837
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:28,559
Speaker 1: because of how much this game, obviously this organization and

1838
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: what team has meant to me in general. So those

1839
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: are all things that I'm gonna have to you know,

1840
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: process and work through. It's never easy, other than playing

1841
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 1: a playoff game at the end of the year. And

1842
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 1: I'll specially with it that you need to play your

1843
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: last year and a lot. Uh, that's a that was

1844
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 1: an important part of I love the fact that Sunday

1845
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 1: I'll know you know what I mean, I'll know I

1846
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:53,800
Speaker 1: can go out there. I can enjoy it for what

1847
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,000
Speaker 1: it is. An opportunity to go back out play in

1848
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 1: front of um, what myself and a lot of other

1849
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:01,639
Speaker 1: people regard as the best hands in the league, and

1850
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:04,840
Speaker 1: an opportunity to compete and be with my team and

1851
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully go and go out and get a

1852
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 1: win and some most important things to me. So I'm

1853
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 1: excited about that. You know, this so called you short,

1854
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 1: it was too small, arms were too short and whatever.

1855
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 1: When you reflect back and now to this point, what

1856
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:25,880
Speaker 1: what do you what? What have you proven maybe to

1857
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 1: yourself or to the people that doubted you so long? Uh?

1858
01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think the hardest thing for me is

1859
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 1: going to be moving away from something that I love

1860
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,000
Speaker 1: so much and walking away from something that they said

1861
01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 1: that I couldn't do. You know what I mean, you

1862
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 1: know something that's uh, you know, like I said, it's

1863
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 1: got a is a big piece of me. You know, competition,

1864
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 1: this game, um, as far as you know what it means,

1865
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 1: it's you know, for me as a player, the only

1866
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:57,760
Speaker 1: thing that I that I ever wanted to accomplish was

1867
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:00,680
Speaker 1: I wanted opportunity to compete and be the best that

1868
01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 1: I could. And moving forward. The only thing that I

1869
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:07,439
Speaker 1: hope is whether it's present day teams, past teams, our

1870
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:10,920
Speaker 1: future teams, that our fans, our organization, our people would

1871
01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:12,599
Speaker 1: say that, you know who a good guy to hell

1872
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 1: on this team would be would be Kyle. That's really

1873
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,920
Speaker 1: if that's If that's the case on any of those points,

1874
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:23,280
Speaker 1: I can I can rest easy, you know, one day.

1875
01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 1: But can you think it's in the timeline for you?

1876
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 1: It's well, obviously you when it creeps into your mind

1877
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:34,800
Speaker 1: and you think about it and you give way to

1878
01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:37,320
Speaker 1: those thoughts in your quiet times and you're when you're

1879
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 1: by yourself, you know it's a real thing. And for me,

1880
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 1: like I said, this spring, when you know I'm up here,

1881
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm in training camp and you know, I'm watching my

1882
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,439
Speaker 1: kids play t ball and all these activites, I'm doing

1883
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:50,680
Speaker 1: it on FaceTime because I'm away. You know, I was

1884
01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:53,719
Speaker 1: telling somebody earlier that you know, my daughter is moving

1885
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:56,240
Speaker 1: into you know, I have kids in middle school. My

1886
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 1: daughter's moving into be twelve years old, and I've been

1887
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 1: in training camp for a year of her life and

1888
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 1: that's just training camp, right, So I think this spring

1889
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:08,080
Speaker 1: it hit me really heavy. But at the same time,

1890
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 1: I could totally committed myself to be in the best teammate,

1891
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 1: the best player, to try to make the Buffalo Bills

1892
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: the best team I could this year. And when I

1893
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:18,640
Speaker 1: get back into it, I love it so much. I

1894
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 1: love I love team, I love competing. And at the

1895
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 1: end of the day, it comes down to it, Like

1896
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 1: I said earlier, you know, what are the most important things?

1897
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:29,800
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? And you know, I

1898
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 1: wish I could be twenty two years old and start

1899
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 1: all over again. But that's just it's just not how

1900
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:41,799
Speaker 1: the cookie crumble, so to speak. Ago con Williams's news conference,

1901

Speaker 1: effort you promised yourself you would give. Remember the type

1911
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 1: of guns training effort you said I will give that

1912
01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 1: if I have an opportunity to do that first in

1913

1941
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:50,760
Speaker 1: have shared some time golfing and visiting and stuff like that.

1942
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:53,680
Speaker 1: So he's told me the story, which is amazing. It's

1943
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 1: a great story. Steve. Can you recount the last days

1944
01:34:57,280 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 1: of Tasker? Well, I mean it was a game in

1945
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:02,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay I announced before the last home game, just

1946
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 1: like you did, except ours was the second the last game,

1947
01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:06,920
Speaker 1: and we've got to Green Bay in the last game

1948
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 1: of the season, and and uh, there was a kick

1949
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:14,599
Speaker 1: off which I covered. They went one, Brett Farve and

1950
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 1: all those guys went one, two, three and out, and

1951
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 1: then they punted. It went over my head into the

1952
01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:19,320
Speaker 1: end zone and then I got tossed. So It was

1953
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:21,800
Speaker 1: really that simple. That's the entire simple as that. And

1954
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:23,720
Speaker 1: you hit it. You hit the back judge. You can

1955
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:25,639
Speaker 1: see it right there right, you bumped into the back juge.

1956
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:27,720
Speaker 1: If they gave him a free touchdown, that was you

1957
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:30,040
Speaker 1: can't be doing that. And they told me later and

1958
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 1: later and later that it that it. They shouldn't have

1959
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 1: thrown me out. But the guy threw his flag, and

1960
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:35,600
Speaker 1: there I was. You know who's Mike carry is the

1961
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:38,920
Speaker 1: official and Mike Pereira is also on that. Okay, both

1962
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 1: those guys, and then that's me walking for the last time.

1963
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 1: You know, you let me tell you something. I uh,

1964
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, I could recommend you getting tossed because you

1965
01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: come out injury free. Injury free, right, Okay, we're not

1966
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 1: risking a broken leg or anything like that. I'll look

1967
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:54,519
Speaker 1: from an opportunity and if I can't see if I

1968
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:57,160
Speaker 1: can strike at some point tell us. But I don't

1969
01:35:57,160 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 1: want to talk about this all day. But the part

1970
01:35:58,520 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 1: about the story that I love is when you're up

1971
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,840
Speaker 1: your after you guy tossed and talking to like a

1972
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:05,800
Speaker 1: I walked up, I'm walking up the green, say how

1973
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:07,479
Speaker 1: many hot dogs did? Right? Right? Well? The guy the

1974
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:10,160
Speaker 1: locker room attendants there and he's like at that time,

1975
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:12,479
Speaker 1: he's like one hundred and eight years old. And I'm

1976
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 1: walking up. He goes, hey, Steve, you got thrown out

1977
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:16,040
Speaker 1: because he saw it on TV. He's washing, he's and

1978
01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 1: he sees me. He comes out and leans over the railing.

1979
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:20,240
Speaker 1: He said, you get tossed. I said yeah. He goes,

1980
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 1: what'd you do? And I said that he didn't even

1981
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:24,799
Speaker 1: tell me. I didn't even realize I touched an official

1982
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 1: like that. Sure, I didn't even know why I got

1983
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:28,599
Speaker 1: thrown out. And I said, no, he didn't. I don't

1984
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 1: even know. He goes, oh, man, he goes, you know what,

1985
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 1: come on up and have a sandwich. So you know

1986
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:34,960
Speaker 1: I did. I had my glove. I mean I was.

1987
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 1: You know, you're still like glowing after you come off

1988
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 1: the field, just you got steam coming off you. I

1989
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:41,160
Speaker 1: got gloves and tape and everything. I had to take

1990
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:42,600
Speaker 1: my helmet off and I had a sandwich while I

1991
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:45,639
Speaker 1: ate him. Perfect. I've got some great pictures, like getting

1992
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 1: injured in the game, like this preseason. I'm when I

1993
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:50,840
Speaker 1: tore that ligament. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sitting I'm sitting

1994
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:53,800
Speaker 1: on the training table and my legs propped up, all

1995
01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 1: yet up, and one of our trainers just catches a

1996
01:36:56,120 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 1: perfect picture. I'm just shoveling a hot dog like a

1997
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 1: like a coke, and he's to send it to my

1998
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:04,600
Speaker 1: wife be like, hey, I think he's okay. There's a

1999
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: there's a microcosm of an NFL player's situation right there.

2000
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:10,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams joins US announced his retirement. Today's Sunday will

2001
01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 1: be his last game. It sounds like from the comments

2002
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:15,559
Speaker 1: you've made the letter you wrote that it's really family

2003
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 1: considerations that play here, right. Yeah, my kids are getting older.

2004
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 1: I got some middle school aged children, and it's kind

2005
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 1: of what I've shared with guys earlier during the Q

2006
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:26,800
Speaker 1: and A and that small press conference was the things

2007
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,640
Speaker 1: that I say are most important to me? Are they

2008
01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:31,880
Speaker 1: really the most important things to me? Or do I

2009
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 1: just say that because that's what everybody says, right, So

2010
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 1: it comes down to that, and you know, family and health,

2011
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot there's a lot of

2012
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 1: scenarios there. But I've watched more T ball games and

2013
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 1: stuff over FaceTime than I care to do anymore. You know,

2014
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 1: you said earlier today as well that you kind of

2015
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:53,720
Speaker 1: wanted to leave the same way you showed up. You

2016
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 1: were a fifth round draft pick, and afterthought you were

2017
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 1: you were a mid round selection, and that you had

2018
01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 1: a first rounder at your same position room, and you

2019
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:02,960
Speaker 1: kind of would have liked to maybe sidled on a

2020
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:05,639
Speaker 1: side you know, get out a side door you could,

2021
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:07,720
Speaker 1: but then you made the mistake of listening to your

2022
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: wife and and things got and now here right now.

2023
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 1: You know, I would have I would have, you know,

2024
01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:19,719
Speaker 1: kind of slinked my way out and then been like, oh,

2025
01:38:19,720 --> 01:38:22,559
Speaker 1: by the way, it was great, It was it was awesome.

2026
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. And you know, sped out of town

2027
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,240
Speaker 1: just trying to trying to avoid all of this, but

2028
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:31,519
Speaker 1: at the same time visiting with um a lot of people,

2029
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 1: UM from Sean and Brandon Bean and you know, UM,

2030
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:37,960
Speaker 1: Kim and Terry. You know, I think the right thing

2031
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 1: is to let people know. Yeah, the only yeah, the

2032
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:42,759
Speaker 1: only mistake in the whole thing was letting Derek Boyco

2033
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,479
Speaker 1: get involved. And then yeah, that's right, Well we have

2034
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:47,360
Speaker 1: to call him mister Boyco. I don't know, it's only

2035
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 1: for another day. Yeah, that's right, that's right, a couple

2036
01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 1: of days. No, you know, they painted they painted a

2037
01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 1: picture for me of um of appreciation and our fans

2038
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:05,000
Speaker 1: in our community and made me see that you know,

2039
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:07,680
Speaker 1: they they needed to they needed to know. It'll be

2040
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 1: good for your family too, because believe it'll the your

2041
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 1: family will appreciate the opportunity as much as anybody, even

2042
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 1: the fans. Uh and um, because it's their home, especially

2043
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:21,400
Speaker 1: for your kids. Yeah, this is we were telling guys earlier.

2044
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: We came here twenty two years old, no kids, We

2045
01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:27,840
Speaker 1: leave on the doorstep of thirty six with five. But

2046
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, our family grew up here, our kids grew

2047
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:34,360
Speaker 1: up here. Um, your kids learn to be happy here, right.

2048
01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 1: I love that my kids have. It's been a really

2049
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:42,840
Speaker 1: sweet time in our family over the last handful of years.

2050
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 1: When the kids have understood what's going on right that

2051
01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:48,160
Speaker 1: I played football. They've got a new experience that my daughters,

2052
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 1: my oldest two boys are um, like the last couple

2053
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 1: of years have really really gotten it and gotten into it. Um.

2054
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 1: You know, baby boy didn't know yet. He just knows

2055
01:39:57,800 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 1: football means he can come play in the indoor field. Right.

2056
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,720
Speaker 1: But it's been it's been a sweet time for them.

2057
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 1: I mean we've only lived in Louisiana and Buffalo, New York. Right.

2058
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 1: It's interesting because your kids finally get to the age

2059
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 1: where they realized, you know, dad's not a lawyer an accountant.

2060
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah right, but they and the other kids understand it

2061
01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 1: more so than they do. Even so it's kind of

2062
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: a you know, catch twenty two because they realized that.

2063
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:25,519
Speaker 1: But then they also realized that he's gone a lot.

2064
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:27,679
Speaker 1: You know, he's not He's not here a lot. So

2065
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,599
Speaker 1: you take the good with the bat, right. Kyle Williams

2071
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:44,519

2072
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,559
Speaker 1: as it's pointed out, and Steve mention, you came in

2073
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:50,679
Speaker 1: as a fifth round pick. I believe, the ninth defensive

2074
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:53,639
Speaker 1: tackle chosen in No. Six overall in the draft. That's

2075
01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 1: always seemed to stick with you. I remember a conversation,

2076
01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 1: pretty heated conversation you had with some Bill's personnel people

2077
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,360
Speaker 1: not long ago. What was going on. I'm talking about

2078
01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:04,519
Speaker 1: I've never had a heated conversation. How can I be

2079
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 1: the ninth defensive tackle that year in the draft, to

2080
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 1: be around for thirteen years? Well, you know I can.

2081
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I tend to get redheaded really fast sometime, so it

2082
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:15,680
Speaker 1: can jump out of me real quick. But you know,

2083
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 1: you look back on it, and you just for me.

2084
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 1: You just wanted the opportunity to do what you love

2085
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 1: to do, to compete in to play and being part

2086
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 1: of a team. And we never could have dreamed of

2087
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:30,360
Speaker 1: coming to a place that was so far away that

2088
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:33,679
Speaker 1: we had never been to and having a community really

2089
01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:36,800
Speaker 1: take hold of our heart. Yeah, it wasn't easy, right,

2090
01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, there weren't enough wins, I'm sure to your liking,

2091
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 1: it could not have been easy. Listen, if I could,

2092
01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 1: if I could draw this up, we're rolling in with

2093
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 1: a bye and we you know, we went in the

2094
01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:48,559
Speaker 1: super Bowl, and you know, I play forever and you know,

2095
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 1: just go on for infinity, infinity. But whether it's now,

2096
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:56,679
Speaker 1: whether it's next year, two years, it's gonna hurt. There's

2097
01:41:56,680 --> 01:42:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a void, there's gonna be a football size

2098
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 1: shape missing from me. So um, I realized that long

2099
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 1: time ago, that that that was a realization I had

2100
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 1: long before today, but that we all have to, you know,

2101
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 1: kind of make our peace with it. So you've been,

2102
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, this as successful as you possibly could have

2103
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:20,720
Speaker 1: been as an individual player in a team sport. What

2104
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:22,680
Speaker 1: are your Do you have a vision for what your

2105
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:24,600
Speaker 1: life's going to be like when you get back to Louisiana,

2106
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 1: you and you move into the house and the kids

2107
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:29,040
Speaker 1: don't have to come back here in the fall. You know,

2108
01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:32,519
Speaker 1: I don't over the last couple of years because of

2109
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:34,559
Speaker 1: the speculation. Am I going to continue to play? Am

2110
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:36,400
Speaker 1: I going to be done? You know, there's a lot

2111
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 1: of different, um things that have gotten thrown at me

2112
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:43,080
Speaker 1: as far as maybe this was a potential opportunity, um

2113
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:46,800
Speaker 1: different things. So right now, just gonna kind of take

2114
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:49,400
Speaker 1: my time, kind of see how all that plays out

2115
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:53,559
Speaker 1: and make the appropriate decision as far as you know,

2116
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:55,960
Speaker 1: how I progress with what the next chapter looks like.

2117
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:59,000
Speaker 1: I've bet you this before it and I think you'd

2118
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 1: be really good at it. Would you ever consider coaching

2119
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:03,640
Speaker 1: somewhere at some level coaching football? Um? You know, you

2120
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:06,839
Speaker 1: never say never. I don't close any doors that that

2121
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 1: that I don't have to. Obviously, this game has obviously

2122
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 1: given me a whole lot. And I'm not just talking

2123
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 1: about you know, tangible things. I'm talking about um, character

2124
01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 1: at things and things like that. So I don't know

2125
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 1: the answer to that right now. Um, but we'll see.

2126
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I don't don't know what I answer.

2127
01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:29,960
Speaker 1: Don't do it, man, Yeah, oh my god, I think

2128
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 1: you're gone. You think you're gone a lot now. So yeah, well,

2129
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:34,639
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, we're not We're not unless your kids

2130
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:36,640
Speaker 1: are playing then you kids them. Yeah, I mean I'm not.

2131
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I'm gonna I'm applying to be

2132
01:43:39,080 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 1: the head coach of a college or NFL team or

2133
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 1: anything like that off the bat. But I never say never. Okay,

2134
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 1: So my question this game this weekend, it's just, you know,

2135
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:51,960
Speaker 1: are you worried about this retirement and particularly your family,

2136
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:53,920
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, you've got a lot of responsibilities,

2137
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:55,640
Speaker 1: you got you've got people coming in, you've got some

2138
01:43:55,800 --> 01:43:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, and what about this is it gonna be

2139
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 1: a distraction for you? What you're gonna and what are

2140
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 1: your have you thought about? And I know this too,

2141
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:04,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna address the team tomorrow night, and I know

2142
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:06,240
Speaker 1: you got to start putting your thoughts together about that.

2143
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on this weekend. Well you know,

2144
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say any you have to say it publicly,

2145
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't think that for me. For me,

2146
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:17,479
Speaker 1: I'm really good at I can kind of separate. Yeah,

2147
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:21,040
Speaker 1: So the game is what it is. I think once

2148
01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 1: you know the the pre game and all of the

2149
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:27,960
Speaker 1: hullabaloo leading up to it, and you know, as well

2150
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 1: as anybody, when the ball kicks off the first time,

2151
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:34,280
Speaker 1: literally everything falls away. So that that'll be easy. Obviously,

2152
01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:36,559
Speaker 1: I've got some friends and family, you know, coming in.

2153
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:40,400
Speaker 1: But I think the hardest thing will like to be

2154
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 1: I'll have to expand on what I briefly told the

2155
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,960
Speaker 1: team this morning. So and I'm gonna shoot from the

2156
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:48,600
Speaker 1: hip guy on that. So I'll kind of go in

2157
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:50,840
Speaker 1: and just let you know, guns blazing. I won't I

2158
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 1: won't put too much together. So good stuff. Your teammates

2159
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:57,559
Speaker 1: have always been not just important to you, but your

2160
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:00,040
Speaker 1: your dialogue with teammates, it seems, has always been and

2161
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 1: right at the forefront, especially in recent years. But I

2162
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 1: recall him not too long ago when Marshawn Lynch's here.

2163
01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:09,000
Speaker 1: You and he got into a little competition about swimming

2164
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:11,120
Speaker 1: or something, right, can you tell that story? I know

2165
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:13,800
Speaker 1: we have pictures of that. It was crazy, but it

2166
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 1: was it was memorable. Well number one, you so Marshawn

2167
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:26,000
Speaker 1: and I right, yeah, you look at the kind of

2168
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of the concept of team. I think

2169
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:32,519
Speaker 1: he and I epitomize what team means because you're an

2170
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 1: opposite ends of the I mean Ruston Louisiana, Oakland, California. Yeah,

2171
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:42,360
Speaker 1: he's a guy. I mean he has interestities yeah as

2172
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 1: pine trees and sticks as it gets. And he is

2173
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:49,160
Speaker 1: one of my favorite teammates I've ever had, you know,

2174
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 1: face time with a guy. Last year. I mean, you know,

2175
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:55,320
Speaker 1: just that's what team does, you know. So it's that's

2176
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 1: I think more than anything, it's what you hear everybody

2177
01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:01,519
Speaker 1: say when their time is up, that it was all

2178
01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 1: about the team. It was it was a team this

2179
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:09,280
Speaker 1: and that. And when we've lacked team success, I clung

2180
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:11,679
Speaker 1: to a team and teammates more than I cling clung

2181
01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:14,680
Speaker 1: to anything else. And this started because he said he

2182
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 1: was he was a great swimmer, and he was actually

2183
01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:19,479
Speaker 1: better than I thought I look up right in here,

2184
01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:21,000
Speaker 1: I go, oh, he can actually swim. I had to

2185
01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:24,439
Speaker 1: turn the jets on him real quick. Over. Oh yeah,

2186
01:46:24,479 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 1: he had the flip turn. Yeah he had three hundred

2187
01:46:27,120 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 1: pounder doing the flip turn in the pool. That's pretty impressive. Hey, listen,

2188
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a CBA rules or not,

2189
01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 1: but I've I've won quite a few bets in that

2190
01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:38,080
Speaker 1: pool right there, man, that's listening. Yeah, that's that's important.

2191
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 1: What did marshawon say? Hey said he got cheated and

2192
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:45,800
Speaker 1: I got to jump on him. That's great. Let's take

2193
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:47,720
Speaker 1: a few phone calls. Kyle Williams presenting a few more

2194
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 1: minutes with us. We're going to Jeff and James. Sound Jeff,

2195
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:53,680
Speaker 1: go ahead around the air. Hey Kyle, I'm gonna be

2196
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:55,880
Speaker 1: at the games Sunday and I can't wait to see

2197
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:59,200
Speaker 1: you play. And I just wanted to say that you

2198
01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:02,680
Speaker 1: have pitted my what a professional athlete he's supposed to

2199
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:07,479
Speaker 1: be like I am an off the field, and my

2200
01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:11,679
Speaker 1: question to you is what's your most memorable game into

2201
01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:16,360
Speaker 1: a play as a Buffalo built? Thank you well, number one,

2202
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:18,280
Speaker 1: Thank you for the compliment. You know, I've always wanted

2203
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:22,400
Speaker 1: to represent our organization well, the Pagoula family well and

2204
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:24,960
Speaker 1: my family. Well, so thank you for saying that. It

2205
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 1: means a lot as far as favorite game play, no

2206
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:31,800
Speaker 1: real play, but obviously that scene that everyone is seen

2207
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:34,759
Speaker 1: over and over in our locker room last year in Miami.

2208
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:38,120
Speaker 1: To share that with our teammates and guys, that meant

2209
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:40,679
Speaker 1: so much to me. And to have my two oldest

2210
01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:43,160
Speaker 1: sons right there with me. You know, I don't know

2211
01:47:44,160 --> 01:47:46,960
Speaker 1: they're old enough they remember if they still talk about it.

2212
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:49,960
Speaker 1: Long term wise, I don't know if if that memory

2213
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 1: will be as you know, vivid for them. But their

2214
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 1: dad's never going to forget that. Yeah, I told people

2215
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:56,680
Speaker 1: their kills kids are never gonna forget being in that

2216
01:47:56,800 --> 01:48:00,240
Speaker 1: room at that moment. It's it's special. And you think

2217
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:03,280
Speaker 1: about the turning point that was for and we's had

2218
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:06,439
Speaker 1: this conversation in this show. That's one of the great

2219
01:48:06,479 --> 01:48:08,600
Speaker 1: moments in the franchise history. All the stuff that I

2220
01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:12,559
Speaker 1: went through years ago, that was as great a moment

2221
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:15,080
Speaker 1: because it was recorded and shared by everybody at the

2222
01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:18,519
Speaker 1: same moment. Does the direction of the team and all

2223
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:20,680
Speaker 1: the hope and the and the positive attitude and the

2224
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:22,760
Speaker 1: and the direction of the team's headed in. Does that

2225
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 1: make it harder or do you take great satisfaction and

2226
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:29,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna know that you were there when it did begin.

2227
01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of both. I think

2228
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:36,479
Speaker 1: the main thing is, like I said earlier, walking away

2229
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 1: from team, and then I expand even further as Brandon

2230
01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 1: Bean and to the highest degree of Sean McDermott. You know,

2231
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:47,439
Speaker 1: somebody that I've got so much respect for, admiration, you know,

2232
01:48:47,520 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 1: love the man what he's trying to build, their vision

2233
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:52,720
Speaker 1: for what this organization is going to be. I think

2234
01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:55,280
Speaker 1: that makes it makes it really hard. But at the

2235
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:58,599
Speaker 1: same time, we have a great group of young guys

2236
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:01,639
Speaker 1: that I've got to spend a year year around, and

2237
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:04,439
Speaker 1: although I won't be here with him on the practice field,

2238
01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 1: in the meeting room and on the game field anymore,

2239
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll tell you I've kind of planned some shade

2240
01:49:10,400 --> 01:49:13,200
Speaker 1: trees for them, you know, that our building blocks for

2241
01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:16,160
Speaker 1: them as they move forward in their career. Another call here,

2242
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:20,840
Speaker 1: Robert and Branford, Pennsylvania. Go ahead, Romer, you're on the air, Hi, guys.

2243
01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you for giving me

2244
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity to offer my gratitude to Kyle m I

2245
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 1: watched Kyle Tounch every since we drafted them in two

2246
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: thousand and six, and he's been a phenomenal staple or

2247
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:36,000
Speaker 1: defensive line every since then. And his thirteen years with

2248
01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:40,160
Speaker 1: us have been unmatched. And his work ethic is unbelievable

2249
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:42,720
Speaker 1: on and off the field, and I hope that one

2250
01:49:42,800 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 1: day we will eventually retire his number as much as

2251
01:49:45,560 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 1: we did Derman, Thomas and Andrea and everybody. Excuse me, um,

2252
01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 1: yes again, I'd just like to say thank you Kyle

2253
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:56,240
Speaker 1: for all your thirteen years, and thank you guys for

2254
01:49:56,280 --> 01:50:00,000
Speaker 1: allowing me to be on the air. Thanks one more

2255
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,679
Speaker 1: call for Kyle will take a Rudy in Rochester. Go ahead, Rudy,

Speaker 1: telling people that if my kids grow up to be

2261
01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:19,439
Speaker 1: half the man that Kyle Williams is, then I'll be

2262
01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:21,920
Speaker 1: a proud father. I mean, my wife and I've been

2263
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 1: through some tough times. We live in the deep water.

2264
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:25,840
Speaker 1: As you would say where it hurts a little bit,

2265
01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:29,080
Speaker 1: and I just keep on, keep on keeping on, man.

2266
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 1: And it's because of your work ethic. And I'm probably

2267
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:35,120
Speaker 1: probably as big of a fan as you'll ever have, man,

2268
01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 1: not just in football and life though. And we appreciate

2269
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:39,639
Speaker 1: you letting us be a part of it for so long.

2270
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:42,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, guys, Thank you for for saying that.

2271
01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:43,920
Speaker 1: What does it mean when you say, wait, I've never

2272
01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:45,439
Speaker 1: heard you say that we live in the deep water.

2273
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:49,000
Speaker 1: You never heard of that. Well, I think that it's

2274
01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:51,679
Speaker 1: it's an uncomfortable space. We talk about it as a team,

2275
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, everybody, and it kind of got played out

2276
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 1: last year. You know, there's cameras everywhere. Now you in

2277
01:50:56,840 --> 01:50:58,840
Speaker 1: the locker room here, the thing you're talking to guys

2278
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,120
Speaker 1: and you know, talk about, Hey, everybody's comfortable. You know,

2279
01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:02,920
Speaker 1: you got two feet on the ground in the shallow water,

2280
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:04,400
Speaker 1: and well you get out on the deep end where

2281
01:51:04,760 --> 01:51:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, it hurts a little bit, it's a little uncomfortable.

2282
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:08,880
Speaker 1: You know, things can get hard, you know, but trying

2283
01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:12,400
Speaker 1: and stick it together. And and I've I've been getting

2284
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:14,600
Speaker 1: text and calls and lots of things all morning, and

2285
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, the main thing is is that I'm obviously,

2286
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:19,600
Speaker 1: if you ever spent more than five minutes with me,

2287
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 1: I'm not perfect, but um, more than anything, I never

2288
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:24,400
Speaker 1: cheated today. I try to give it all I could

2289
01:51:24,439 --> 01:51:29,320
Speaker 1: every single day and moving forward, whether it's past teams,

2290
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 1: future teams, whatever it may be. You know, my only

2291
01:51:32,120 --> 01:51:34,880
Speaker 1: hope or thing was to say that you guys are

2292
01:51:35,200 --> 01:51:37,280
Speaker 1: guys on this team, or our fans would say, you know,

2293
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:38,519
Speaker 1: a great guy to have on this team would have

2294
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 1: been Kyle. You know that's that's really the only thing

2295
01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:44,160
Speaker 1: that that means anything to me. People are gonna say that,

2296
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm certain of that. Yeah. Do you recall, this is

2297
01:51:46,760 --> 01:51:49,880
Speaker 1: my last question, your first visit to Buffalo. I'm guessing

2298
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:52,519
Speaker 1: it was after you were drafted. You recall on the

2299
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:55,400
Speaker 1: plane thinking what is this Buffalo place? What kind of

2300
01:51:55,439 --> 01:51:58,000
Speaker 1: my place am I going to? And how how crazy

2301
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:00,839
Speaker 1: it is life that thirteen years later all that happened.

2302
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:04,400
Speaker 1: So funny story is is my wife's uncle was a

2303
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:07,920
Speaker 1: strength coach in NFL for twenty plus years, and we're

2304
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 1: going through this whole process and he goes One of

2305
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:12,600
Speaker 1: my one of my closest friends in the league is

2306
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:14,880
Speaker 1: a defensive line coach in Buffalo and he loves you.

2307
01:52:14,920 --> 01:52:18,000
Speaker 1: Who's Bill Colarky. Yeah, that's the guy we were talking

2308
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:21,639
Speaker 1: about earlier. And I'm like, well, I don't know anything

2309
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:24,759
Speaker 1: about Buffalo. I've never been in Buffalo. And Tim says, well,

2310
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:27,439
Speaker 1: I know this the coldest games I've ever played in

2311
01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:29,640
Speaker 1: my life. When I'm in Buffalo with the wind and

2312
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, and a guy from Louisiana is like, oh, okay,

2313
01:52:33,240 --> 01:52:35,400
Speaker 1: well I've been in co It was like forty eight

2314
01:52:35,400 --> 01:52:38,640
Speaker 1: degrees last weekend we played. It was freezing, right. So

2315
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:40,559
Speaker 1: I come up here and I remember I lived in

2316
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:44,720
Speaker 1: the Millennium Hotel for six weeks during OTA's in minicamp,

2317
01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:48,080
Speaker 1: and I had that mall. Yeah, I had that mall.

2318
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 1: I could have drawn you a perfect map of that

2319
01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:52,920
Speaker 1: mall after that six weeks going out and walking around

2320
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:55,960
Speaker 1: that mall. But uh, you know, I remember getting invited

2321
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,519
Speaker 1: to play golf with Craignall and a couple other guys,

2322
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:01,439
Speaker 1: and the day before where he was seventy degrees and

2323
01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:03,080
Speaker 1: the sun was shining. I go to bed in my

2324
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:06,360
Speaker 1: great little double double in my roommate hotel room and

2325
01:53:06,439 --> 01:53:07,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna pick me up at eight and I got

2326
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:11,280
Speaker 1: put my golf shorts on, I put my polo, I'm rolling,

2327
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:15,519
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I walk outside and go what happened? And

2328
01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 1: it was like thirty two degrees and when was blowing.

2329
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:20,639
Speaker 1: A storm had come off the lake the night before

2330
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:26,280
Speaker 1: and the weather had totally changed. But thirteen years later,

2331
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 1: I've gotten to where I appreciate that, and you know,

2332
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:30,880
Speaker 1: and that's one of the one of the things that

2333
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 1: that make this a unique place. And it's uh, it's

2334
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:38,679
Speaker 1: something that will never forget. Obviously, what are you hoping

2335
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 1: for most on Sunday? The Sunday when something else? Now,

2336
01:53:42,439 --> 01:53:45,000
Speaker 1: it's all I care about, all I care about and

2337
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:47,000
Speaker 1: hopefully my mom doesn't run on the field. My mom

2338
01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:51,280
Speaker 1: ooh boy, she didn't run on a field. Now listen,

2339
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:53,760
Speaker 1: my mom is as feisting a passionate a woman, as

2340
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:58,320
Speaker 1: there as walking the earth. And she's uh, like I said,

2341
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of tears leading up to this moment.

2342
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be a lot on Sunday, and I'm

2343
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,679
Speaker 1: excited about it. I'm glad that this is the road

2344
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:09,120
Speaker 1: we went down. I can enjoy the game, everything going

2345
01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:11,439
Speaker 1: on around the game on Sunday and go out and

2346
01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 1: enjoy it with my teammates one more time. Yeah, it's

2347
01:54:14,439 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 1: we forget because you're out there all the time. You

2348
01:54:16,280 --> 01:54:18,000
Speaker 1: practice on it, you work on it, you walk around

2349
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:19,600
Speaker 1: on and the family gets to come in once in

2350
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:22,320
Speaker 1: a while and watch you play. It is special when

2351
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:23,760
Speaker 1: they come down the field and see it for the

2352
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, just to walk across it, because they've spent

2353
01:54:26,200 --> 01:54:29,639
Speaker 1: so much quality and so many important days there. Yeah. Yeah, so,

2354
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:32,200
Speaker 1: like I said, my younger boys, the only thing that

2355
01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:34,440
Speaker 1: football means to them is playing on the playing on

2356
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:36,920
Speaker 1: the endoor, and then after the game on Sunday going

2357
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:40,000
Speaker 1: down to the game field. You know. So I can

2358
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 1: remember last year after the snow game with the Cults,

2359
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:45,000
Speaker 1: they're down piled up in the snow, you know, and

2360
01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:46,840
Speaker 1: those are things you miss, you know, we go down

2361
01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 1: there with Lorenzo's family and Chris Kelsey's family when he's here,

2362
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:52,760
Speaker 1: and all those moments. Those are things you want to forget. Kyle,

2363
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:54,840
Speaker 1: we can't thank you enough for all the great work

2364
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:56,320
Speaker 1: you've done on the field and of course being with

2369

Speaker 1: I'm back with more One Bill's Live from One Bill's Driving.

2370
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. I'm just I can't get

2371
01:55:39,560 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 1: enough of that song. Right, It's just it is always appropriate.

2372
01:55:43,080 --> 01:55:46,000
Speaker 1: From one beloved veteran to another. We go from Kyle

2373
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 1: Williams to another beloved Bills veteran defender. Happen to have

2374
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:52,920
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander in studio with us now for the Friday

2375
01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:55,440
Speaker 1: edition of The Lowdown. Thank you for being flexible with

2376
01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:57,640
Speaker 1: your schedule. By the way, I'm used to it around here.

2377
01:55:57,680 --> 01:55:59,560
Speaker 1: You know, I've been bumped. I got bumped into off

2378
01:55:59,560 --> 01:56:02,440
Speaker 1: season by I think Bruce Arians. I've been bumped by

2379
01:56:02,480 --> 01:56:05,160
Speaker 1: several guys, you know. But I'm okay with Kyle Williams

2380
01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 1: bumping me. That's probably the only person I've been all right,

2381
01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 1: y'all bumping me back. I'm pretty sure you've bumped him

2382
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:13,600
Speaker 1: too once. So let's just be real. Kyle, husband in

2383
01:56:13,640 --> 01:56:15,440
Speaker 1: the team meeting room this morning, did you have an

2384
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:17,280
Speaker 1: inkling before they had that something might be up or

2385
01:56:17,320 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 1: did you think yeah, yeah, I mean I had he

2386
01:56:18,960 --> 01:56:20,720
Speaker 1: had talked talk to me earlier in the week, and

2387
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:23,240
Speaker 1: just because our wives are so close, he wanted to

2388
01:56:23,280 --> 01:56:24,680
Speaker 1: let me know, so I'm not going home and hearing

2389
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:26,839
Speaker 1: it from my wife that he was going to be retiring.

2390
01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:29,920
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think I had a kind of

2391
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:32,840
Speaker 1: an inkling or kind of a thought process this entire year,

2392
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:37,400
Speaker 1: just because when I got here in sixteen Pro Bowl year,

2393
01:56:37,400 --> 01:56:40,000
Speaker 1: I think he was thinking about retiring, and then that

2394
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 1: next year. Only reason why I stayed this because he

2395
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:43,840
Speaker 1: liked shine in his vision and his mission. And then

2396
01:56:43,920 --> 01:56:45,760
Speaker 1: last year he was kind of on the fence again.

2397
01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 1: It's only so long before you decide, Okay, it's time

2398
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:51,120
Speaker 1: for me to walk away. And then you you add

2399
01:56:51,160 --> 01:56:54,480
Speaker 1: in the back injury that kind of resurfaced some other things.

2400
01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 1: That's the hardest thing is you get as an older player.

2401
01:56:57,080 --> 01:56:59,400
Speaker 1: Showing up on Sunday is easy. Getting through the week

2402
01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:01,280
Speaker 1: is where it's the struggle is. And he's at that

2403
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:02,880
Speaker 1: time in a place where he's ready to move on.

2404
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:06,240
Speaker 1: Go down Louisiana, take care of his family, hang out, hunt,

2405
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:08,680
Speaker 1: have a good time, and really enjoy the fruits of

2406
01:57:08,680 --> 01:57:10,320
Speaker 1: his labor and all the work that he's really put

2407
01:57:10,360 --> 01:57:13,600
Speaker 1: in his last thirteen years and really the last thirty

2408
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:15,880
Speaker 1: five years his body of work to get him to

2409
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:17,640
Speaker 1: this point. So now he can kind of relax, hanging

2410
01:57:17,640 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 1: back and play the background for his wife and his kids.

2411
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:21,640
Speaker 1: What's surviving the locker room? What are the guys say

2412
01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:25,160
Speaker 1: after Kyle sprung that news. You know, it's kind of

2413
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:29,400
Speaker 1: a happy, bittersweet type of move because you never want

2414
01:57:29,440 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 1: to lose a guy that's that impactful as far as

2415
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:36,160
Speaker 1: relational relationships on the field when he brings. But at

2416
01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:40,560
Speaker 1: the same time, as a player, you can respect and

2417
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:43,080
Speaker 1: understand when somebody's ready to transition and they can make

2418
01:57:43,120 --> 01:57:45,080
Speaker 1: it because it's a hard decision. So you kind of

2419
01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:48,600
Speaker 1: celebrated in a way as well. You are kind of

2420
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:50,440
Speaker 1: cut from the same cloth as kind We've been having

2421
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 1: this discussion during the show. Yeah, you're a productive you're

2422
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:56,440
Speaker 1: both playing well. You're both productive on the field, but

2423
01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:59,760
Speaker 1: a lot of your value is from other stuff like

2424
01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:03,840
Speaker 1: leadership you brought, but also guys like you and Kyle,

2425
01:58:04,360 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 1: you make other players better because you teach them how

2426
01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:09,600
Speaker 1: to be better, how to be better prepared, how to

2427
01:58:09,680 --> 01:58:12,280
Speaker 1: play more effectively, how to be better at their jobs.

2428
01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:14,000
Speaker 1: By the way you do yours and by what you

2429
01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:18,280
Speaker 1: teach them. That's got to be part of you know,

2430
01:58:18,680 --> 01:58:21,000
Speaker 1: your the apprehension of losing a guy like that. Yeah,

2431
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:23,280
Speaker 1: and it goes for not just young guys, it goes

2432
01:58:23,280 --> 01:58:25,040
Speaker 1: for older guys as well. I mean, I think since

2433
01:58:25,080 --> 01:58:28,240
Speaker 1: I've gotten here, I've learned a ton from Kyle, just

2434
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:31,760
Speaker 1: from protections, how people block calling games, why are you

2435
01:58:31,800 --> 01:58:34,800
Speaker 1: calling certain games, how are you attacking people? You know,

2436
01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:37,000
Speaker 1: just getting inside of his mind and what has made

2437
01:58:37,080 --> 01:58:39,400
Speaker 1: him so so good over these years. So now I

2438
01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:41,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of information I can pass on to

2439
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:43,080
Speaker 1: guys as well, just from being in his presence and

2440
01:58:43,120 --> 01:58:46,160
Speaker 1: being around him and now all actuality. I mean, the

2441
01:58:46,160 --> 01:58:47,880
Speaker 1: first year that I was here and really this year

2442
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:50,080
Speaker 1: as well, a lot of my production is because of

2443
01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:52,640
Speaker 1: what he's what he brings to the table, and it's

2444
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:55,160
Speaker 1: really helped me rejuvenate my career. And that's why, you know,

2445
01:58:55,480 --> 01:58:57,120
Speaker 1: one of the biggest reasons why I'll be missing him

2446
01:58:57,160 --> 01:58:59,120
Speaker 1: on the field, because he makes my job so much easier.

2447
01:58:59,200 --> 01:59:02,440
Speaker 1: Kyle had that a couple of weeks ago moment where

2448
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:05,600
Speaker 1: he kind of passed the torch to Tremine. Yeah, Edmond's

2449
01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:08,480
Speaker 1: about the defensive team meetings that said a lot, didn't

2450
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:10,920
Speaker 1: it about the way to think when you're at you're

2451
01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:13,200
Speaker 1: in his stage of your career, but how to think

2452
01:59:13,200 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 1: about the team after you're gone. Yeah, And that's probably

2453
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:17,880
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that I respect about him, because it's

2454
01:59:17,920 --> 01:59:21,000
Speaker 1: never been about Kyle at all and anything that he does.

2455
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:23,320
Speaker 1: And actually, if you ask him, he'd rather not even

2456
01:59:23,400 --> 01:59:25,920
Speaker 1: have like this media's kind of circus and guys having

2457
01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:28,280
Speaker 1: to ask questions about it. He must rather have showed

2458
01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:31,680
Speaker 1: up on Monday and told Sean and the Pagoulas that

2459
01:59:31,760 --> 01:59:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, I appreciate all that you've done, and but

2460
01:59:34,040 --> 01:59:35,680
Speaker 1: it's time for me to walk away and just walk

2461
01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:38,560
Speaker 1: off without having to talk about it. But he's because

2462
01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:41,120
Speaker 1: he's all about team, all about his guys and really

2463
01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:44,040
Speaker 1: paying it forward and like we, like we just said,

2464
01:59:44,080 --> 01:59:47,520
Speaker 1: we tasker really teaching young guys and showing them and

2465
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:50,280
Speaker 1: then putting them into place to do it before you

2466
01:59:50,320 --> 01:59:51,920
Speaker 1: get out of there, because you know, you want to

2467
01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:53,280
Speaker 1: make sure that they can handle it. And he's done

2468
01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:57,120
Speaker 1: a great job. And that's Harrison, you know, Tremaine tre

2469
01:59:57,240 --> 02:00:00,480
Speaker 1: Davis and guys like myself, Michael Hi, Jordan Point. He's

2470
02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:05,240
Speaker 1: had an impact throughout the roster and people within the

2471
02:00:05,320 --> 02:00:08,120
Speaker 1: in the building and obviously Murphy and I mean and

2472
02:00:08,480 --> 02:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Steve you've known him forever. So you're the last man

2473
02:00:12,400 --> 02:00:16,320
Speaker 1: standing in that group years old? Am I the last man? Well?

2474
02:00:16,520 --> 02:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Da n thirty five two, he's still here. He hasn't

2475
02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:25,240
Speaker 1: he hasn't the time. Yeah, But the question, the question

2476
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:27,240
Speaker 1: has gotta be if you talked with Sean about how

2477
02:00:27,320 --> 02:00:29,320
Speaker 1: does this make it more likely that you, you know, listen,

2478
02:00:29,360 --> 02:00:31,120
Speaker 1: they need they don't want to, you know, can't go

2479
02:00:31,160 --> 02:00:33,080
Speaker 1: cold turkey. Yeah, I mean you can't. I mean my

2480
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:35,600
Speaker 1: values went up obviously. I mean I understand that. I

2481
02:00:35,600 --> 02:00:40,200
Speaker 1: think they understand that as well. You're even more unique

2482
02:00:40,240 --> 02:00:44,040
Speaker 1: now yeah, um yeah, I mean obviously. Uh, Like I've

2483
02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 1: been saying all week, I want to talk to my

2484
02:00:46,200 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 1: wife make sure this is what we want to do.

2485
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:49,360
Speaker 1: Obviously I want to be a Buffalo bill if I

2486
02:00:49,400 --> 02:00:52,200
Speaker 1: can at all costs. Um and I and I know

2487
02:00:52,760 --> 02:00:55,080
Speaker 1: and have a pretty much understand that they were liking

2488
02:00:55,200 --> 02:00:57,120
Speaker 1: back as well. But it's all about, you know, getting

2489
02:00:57,120 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 1: together in the business side of football, which which which

2490
02:00:59,880 --> 02:01:02,760
Speaker 1: I hate sometimes because it could be tedious and drawn out.

2491
02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:06,560
Speaker 1: But um, all things being equal, I would definitely want

2492
02:01:06,560 --> 02:01:08,280
Speaker 1: to retire. And I get it too because I was

2493
02:01:08,320 --> 02:01:10,360
Speaker 1: thirty five year old playing once too. And it has

2494
02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:12,480
Speaker 1: and you got to think, ask yourself, well, what's what's

2495
02:01:12,520 --> 02:01:14,480
Speaker 1: their number gonna? Yeah, and that man, I don't you know,

2496
02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:16,240
Speaker 1: I got to dredge up the passion to do it

2497
02:01:16,280 --> 02:01:19,840
Speaker 1: and my self worth and my self respect about what

2498
02:01:19,880 --> 02:01:21,960
Speaker 1: I want to do it and all that. All those

2499
02:01:21,960 --> 02:01:24,000
Speaker 1: conversations have to take place. And that's just the natural

2500
02:01:24,040 --> 02:01:26,000
Speaker 1: process about it, you know. And it's and that's the

2501
02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:29,760
Speaker 1: the hard thing, especially for me and I you know,

2502
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: just I like to just play ball, but at the

2503
02:01:32,200 --> 02:01:35,520
Speaker 1: same time, as a business aspect to it that I

2504
02:01:35,600 --> 02:01:38,160
Speaker 1: think it just doesn't work well with the you know,

2505
02:01:38,240 --> 02:01:39,880
Speaker 1: just the natural fit of football. But you got to

2506
02:01:39,880 --> 02:01:41,960
Speaker 1: go through it as part of the process and everything

2507
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:43,720
Speaker 1: I think will work work his way out. Well, there's

2508
02:01:43,720 --> 02:01:45,920
Speaker 1: two things you have going for you. First. First of all,

2509
02:01:45,920 --> 02:01:47,800
Speaker 1: you played it very well this year. You I mean,

2510
02:01:48,440 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 1: even when your snap counts were low, your production was

2511
02:01:51,280 --> 02:01:53,080
Speaker 1: really high. When you were in there. You're effective. And

2512
02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:55,040
Speaker 1: now that you've you know, they have injuries, now you've

2513
02:01:55,120 --> 02:01:57,120
Speaker 1: become even more put so your value on the field

2514
02:01:57,160 --> 02:02:00,720
Speaker 1: is certainly there still too. And You've got this extra

2515
02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 1: experience now, so now your time is even more valuable

2516
02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 1: as much as your production is. Yeah, I mean, and

2517
02:02:06,160 --> 02:02:08,960
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a great part of playing well, I think,

2518
02:02:08,960 --> 02:02:11,480
Speaker 1: and really just leading with character and building myself up

2519
02:02:11,480 --> 02:02:14,200
Speaker 1: in that way. So you really add you know, multiple

2520
02:02:14,560 --> 02:02:16,400
Speaker 1: dimensions to what you bring to a team. And it's

2521
02:02:16,400 --> 02:02:19,160
Speaker 1: all about creating that value for yourself. And you know,

2522
02:02:19,240 --> 02:02:22,960
Speaker 1: being a leader, being in the community, um, being productive

2523
02:02:22,960 --> 02:02:25,320
Speaker 1: on the field and showing guys the right way to

2524
02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:27,680
Speaker 1: go by doing those things you know all add up

2525
02:02:27,720 --> 02:02:30,520
Speaker 1: to one one of those type of guys to be

2526
02:02:30,560 --> 02:02:32,240
Speaker 1: in the locker room. So you know, I look forward

2527
02:02:32,240 --> 02:02:34,360
Speaker 1: to it. Um. You know my mindset right now is

2528
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:36,040
Speaker 1: that I you know, I'll be a Buffalo bill. But

2529
02:02:36,120 --> 02:02:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, nothing has been uh talked about, nothing has

2530
02:02:39,240 --> 02:02:42,040
Speaker 1: been signed yet, so we will work all that stuff

2531
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:45,080
Speaker 1: out after you know, um the game this weekend. But

2532
02:02:45,120 --> 02:02:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's all about Kyle for me. You know,

2533
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:48,320
Speaker 1: there's nothing like I want to go sign a deal. Now.

2534
02:02:48,320 --> 02:02:50,800
Speaker 1: It switches to me. Let him enjoy this time. He's

2535
02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:52,920
Speaker 1: earned it and then U we'll worry about me at

2536
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:56,000
Speaker 1: a later date. Those linebacker Lorenzo Alexander in studio, whether

2537
02:02:56,040 --> 02:02:59,880
Speaker 1: us so the game this week? What does Kyle's retirement announcement,

2538
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:03,240
Speaker 1: what if anything, doesn't have to do with the team's

2539
02:03:03,800 --> 02:03:07,360
Speaker 1: mindset for this season finale. While I would hope it

2540
02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:10,280
Speaker 1: would inspire some guys, you know, to raise your game

2541
02:03:10,360 --> 02:03:12,320
Speaker 1: up a little bit more. I mean, obviously, we played

2542
02:03:12,360 --> 02:03:14,440
Speaker 1: football and you want to go out to compete and win.

2543
02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:16,800
Speaker 1: But one of your brothers and decided to walk away

2544
02:03:16,800 --> 02:03:19,200
Speaker 1: from the game. You want to send him off the

2545
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:23,120
Speaker 1: right way, and that's about winning. And so you just

2546
02:03:23,160 --> 02:03:25,480
Speaker 1: take your game to another level. Because I'm getting halfway

2547
02:03:25,480 --> 02:03:27,480
Speaker 1: emotional about it right now. You just take a game

2548
02:03:27,520 --> 02:03:30,280
Speaker 1: to the next level. That's it. You gotta get a

2549
02:03:30,320 --> 02:03:34,720
Speaker 1: better level than run defense, especially against the Patriots, right y. Yeah,

2550
02:03:34,720 --> 02:03:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of that is just misfits. I

2551
02:03:36,560 --> 02:03:38,840
Speaker 1: mean it's nothing like we got out physical. I think

2552
02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:40,280
Speaker 1: when you go back and look when we looked at

2553
02:03:40,280 --> 02:03:42,600
Speaker 1: the film, it's just making sure that we're in our

2554
02:03:42,680 --> 02:03:44,800
Speaker 1: right gaps and making sure that we're playing with great

2555
02:03:44,840 --> 02:03:48,280
Speaker 1: eyes and tackling the football. Because even when they ran

2556
02:03:48,360 --> 02:03:49,960
Speaker 1: the ball the way they did, I mean they ran

2557
02:03:50,040 --> 02:03:52,840
Speaker 1: the ball I don't know fifty times it's we have

2558
02:03:52,960 --> 02:03:55,000
Speaker 1: to limit the explosion plays. It's not like they just

2559
02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:57,920
Speaker 1: like that. It didn't feel like New Orleans two years ago.

2560
02:03:57,920 --> 02:04:00,640
Speaker 1: It felt more like we gave up four five big

2561
02:04:00,680 --> 02:04:02,760
Speaker 1: plays in the run game that added to a total.

2562
02:04:02,800 --> 02:04:05,160
Speaker 1: And so when you look at it two seventy five,

2563
02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:07,200
Speaker 1: they really ran for two. It didn't feel like that

2564
02:04:07,240 --> 02:04:09,200
Speaker 1: to me like it did the New Orleans. So just

2565
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:13,080
Speaker 1: fit fitting the runs, tackling guys, limited the big plays,

2566
02:04:14,120 --> 02:04:16,920
Speaker 1: and then obviously our offense stand on the field, creating

2567
02:04:16,960 --> 02:04:19,920
Speaker 1: field position. Although those complimentary things that we talk about,

2568
02:04:20,080 --> 02:04:23,440
Speaker 1: scoring points, it all helps, you know, from teams to

2569
02:04:23,560 --> 02:04:24,760
Speaker 1: just be able to put the ball on the ground

2570
02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:26,680
Speaker 1: and run it. Because they were up, you know, fourteen

2571
02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:28,640
Speaker 1: zero majority of the game, or least the first half.

2572
02:04:28,800 --> 02:04:31,880
Speaker 1: What is the vibe about in the locker room game playing?

2573
02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:33,840
Speaker 1: The vibe coming out of Miami? What do you guys

2574
02:04:33,840 --> 02:04:36,040
Speaker 1: see what you just You played them three or four

2575
02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:39,120
Speaker 1: games ago, just a month ago, and it's a game

2576
02:04:39,120 --> 02:04:41,480
Speaker 1: in which the Bill's offense played probably their best game,

2577
02:04:41,480 --> 02:04:43,360
Speaker 1: although they didn't you know, couldn't get enough pots. They

2578
02:04:43,360 --> 02:04:45,520
Speaker 1: missed that last play. A game you gotta feel like

2579
02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:48,200
Speaker 1: almost got away from you what's the vibe in your

2580
02:04:48,200 --> 02:04:50,880
Speaker 1: locker room about? You know what the Dolphins look like

2581
02:04:50,920 --> 02:04:54,160
Speaker 1: on film? You know it's right now. I think they

2582
02:04:54,240 --> 02:04:55,960
Speaker 1: are a team, you know, searching a little bit. You know,

2583
02:04:56,000 --> 02:04:57,720
Speaker 1: obviously there's a lot of stuff coming out of their

2584
02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:00,360
Speaker 1: their camp as far as the coaching not being please

2585
02:05:00,400 --> 02:05:04,960
Speaker 1: where they're at right now, and teams oftentimes react two

2586
02:05:04,960 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 1: different ways. This team is not up there in a

2587
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:09,560
Speaker 1: similar situation now playing for anything. But teams either stand

2588
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:12,840
Speaker 1: up because they want to responded with the coaching, or

2589
02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 1: they shut it down. So it's our job to go

2590
02:05:14,840 --> 02:05:17,040
Speaker 1: out there and really put it to them early and

2591
02:05:17,080 --> 02:05:19,200
Speaker 1: make them say up, well, we're not playing for nothing.

2592
02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Let's shut it down. But I'm going to this game

2593
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:25,440
Speaker 1: just like I did last week, expecting to get their

2594
02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:28,320
Speaker 1: best because nobody likes losing, nobody likes getting their butt whooped,

2595
02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:31,240
Speaker 1: and so we need to go out there and set

2596
02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:34,320
Speaker 1: that tone and stand it early and often and forced

2597
02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:36,040
Speaker 1: them not to want to play and ready to get

2598
02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:38,280
Speaker 1: back and go celebrate New Year's Eve. Kind of take

2599
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:41,520
Speaker 1: this right into the first of your lowdown elements. Lorenzo

2600
02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:44,600
Speaker 1: Alexander on Friday's provide us with his lowdown what has

2601
02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:46,960
Speaker 1: to happen for a Buffalo victory. You say number one

2602
02:05:46,960 --> 02:05:50,840
Speaker 1: thing is play with the purpose. Yeah, you know, playing

2603
02:05:50,840 --> 02:05:53,080
Speaker 1: with the purpose is multi fast, And I think I

2604
02:05:53,200 --> 02:05:57,080
Speaker 1: kind of mentioned it talking about Miami, is that we

2605
02:05:57,200 --> 02:05:59,760
Speaker 1: play this game and you gotta have some pride about

2606
02:06:00,200 --> 02:06:03,600
Speaker 1: what you put out there on the field. It's too

2607
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:05,400
Speaker 1: hard just to go through the motions. You want to

2608
02:06:05,400 --> 02:06:08,280
Speaker 1: go out there and be dominant every single day, regardless

2609
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:10,400
Speaker 1: of if you're going to be playing in the playoffs

2610
02:06:10,560 --> 02:06:12,760
Speaker 1: or championship. It doesn't matter if we're gonna strap this

2611
02:06:12,840 --> 02:06:15,480
Speaker 1: thing up and go out here and compete. I want

2612
02:06:15,480 --> 02:06:17,680
Speaker 1: to see your best, and I think oftentimes guys lose

2613
02:06:17,720 --> 02:06:20,800
Speaker 1: sight of that. It's a privilege to play in this league.

2614
02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:23,640
Speaker 1: And and just like Kyle retiring, Matt Malone not being here,

2615
02:06:23,680 --> 02:06:28,600
Speaker 1: Taran Johnson being hurt, tomorrow's not guaranteed, So your last time,

2616
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:31,200
Speaker 1: whenever you step on that field, you want to give

2617
02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:35,400
Speaker 1: it your best. And because obviously that you are campaigning

2618
02:06:35,440 --> 02:06:37,600
Speaker 1: for your job next year, whether it's here or somewhere else.

2619
02:06:37,640 --> 02:06:39,600
Speaker 1: People watch this type of film, this is where your

2620
02:06:39,680 --> 02:06:42,400
Speaker 1: character and who you are really shows up. So understanding

2621
02:06:42,400 --> 02:06:45,640
Speaker 1: the big picture there as well So that's what I

2622
02:06:45,680 --> 02:06:47,680
Speaker 1: mean by playing with a purpose, have an understanding, and

2623
02:06:47,760 --> 02:06:50,800
Speaker 1: then beyond anything else, you throw in the Kyle Williams

2624
02:06:50,840 --> 02:06:53,280
Speaker 1: fact that this is his last game. That is our purpose.

2625
02:06:53,320 --> 02:06:55,080
Speaker 1: This is part of our purpose. We don't have playoffs,

2626
02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:57,320
Speaker 1: we don't have a championship, but we have the ability

2627
02:06:57,360 --> 02:06:59,560
Speaker 1: to go out there and play at a level that

2628
02:06:59,680 --> 02:07:01,440
Speaker 1: a him to be proud as he walks off the

2629
02:07:01,480 --> 02:07:04,640
Speaker 1: field by getting a W you would honor him a level. Yeah,

2630
02:07:04,680 --> 02:07:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what he's all about. He's all about

2631
02:07:06,480 --> 02:07:09,920
Speaker 1: the game, the grind, the passion, the physical the physicality.

2632
02:07:10,320 --> 02:07:13,640
Speaker 1: So I would hope that young guys in our team

2633
02:07:13,640 --> 02:07:16,680
Speaker 1: in general just understand that and feel that this is

2634
02:07:16,720 --> 02:07:18,760
Speaker 1: a great time because a guy who's been in the

2635
02:07:19,920 --> 02:07:22,520
Speaker 1: rock of this foundation or the organization the last thirteen

2636
02:07:22,560 --> 02:07:24,800
Speaker 1: years is about to walk away and that he needs

2637
02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:27,040
Speaker 1: to be riding out the right way. And one of

2638
02:07:27,040 --> 02:07:29,440
Speaker 1: the other things you have on your lowdown is dominate

2639
02:07:29,480 --> 02:07:32,360
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. That that kind of reaction to

2640
02:07:32,440 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 1: last week's game. I mean, I think just yet last

2641
02:07:34,560 --> 02:07:37,120
Speaker 1: week's game, our offense running the ball, all those things,

2642
02:07:37,160 --> 02:07:39,680
Speaker 1: and really Number one, play with the purpose sets these

2643
02:07:39,720 --> 02:07:41,680
Speaker 1: next two things up. You got to play with a

2644
02:07:41,720 --> 02:07:46,320
Speaker 1: purpose and have a physical mindset, a dominating attitude. You

2645
02:07:46,360 --> 02:07:47,840
Speaker 1: have to win at the line of scrimmage. I don't

2646
02:07:47,880 --> 02:07:51,360
Speaker 1: care what level you're playing at, Pop Warner, high school, college, pros.

2647
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:53,560
Speaker 1: If you got you have to dominate that line of scrimmage.

2648
02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:55,480
Speaker 1: In order to set up the run. Stop the run,

2649
02:07:55,600 --> 02:07:57,720
Speaker 1: set up pass rush. They able to pass the ball.

2650
02:07:58,160 --> 02:08:01,080
Speaker 1: So we really need as our front set an offensive line,

2651
02:08:01,200 --> 02:08:03,880
Speaker 1: really need to come with our hard hats on and

2652
02:08:03,920 --> 02:08:05,880
Speaker 1: really just get ready to grind this game out. Your

2653
02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:08,440
Speaker 1: third lowdown deals with the turnovers. And I came across

2654
02:08:08,480 --> 02:08:11,040
Speaker 1: this stat today. When the twenty eighteen Buffalo Bills turn

2655
02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:14,240
Speaker 1: it over once or lessening game, you're five, and oh

2656
02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:16,360
Speaker 1: when you're turning over two or more, you're own ten.

2657
02:08:16,520 --> 02:08:19,320
Speaker 1: It's right there for you. Yeah, simple respect the ball.

2658
02:08:19,920 --> 02:08:22,000
Speaker 1: And it means a lot to us because we are

2659
02:08:22,080 --> 02:08:26,160
Speaker 1: not in high powered offense this year. Obviously, we have

2660
02:08:26,200 --> 02:08:27,960
Speaker 1: a lot of growth there because of having a rookie

2661
02:08:28,040 --> 02:08:30,440
Speaker 1: quarterback being in and out and some young guys playing.

2662
02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:32,280
Speaker 1: So when we have the ball, we have to control

2663
02:08:32,320 --> 02:08:33,960
Speaker 1: it and keep it in our hands. And as a defense,

2664
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 1: we need to give our office more opportunities to have

2665
02:08:36,880 --> 02:08:39,280
Speaker 1: short of fields so we can score more points. And

2666
02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:42,720
Speaker 1: it obviously just tie. It ties into each other as

2667
02:08:42,720 --> 02:08:44,720
Speaker 1: far as being complimentary football when you're able to do that.

2668
02:08:45,640 --> 02:08:48,680
Speaker 1: Somebody tweeting in about Kyle earlier today, Lorenzo who said

2669
02:08:48,680 --> 02:08:51,280
Speaker 1: it's a sad day for Bills fans. I don't feel sad,

2670
02:08:52,200 --> 02:08:55,480
Speaker 1: do you. I mean, you're gonna miss Kyle. The only

2671
02:08:55,520 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 1: thing I feel sad about is is who he is

2672
02:08:58,560 --> 02:09:00,920
Speaker 1: and the way he's played this game is he's deserved

2673
02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:02,760
Speaker 1: and he got to play in a playoff game last year.

2674
02:09:03,200 --> 02:09:05,720
Speaker 1: But you know, you know, it's all about championship. So

2675
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:07,520
Speaker 1: if having seen a guy i'd be able to least

2676
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:11,280
Speaker 1: compete for one, um, I think that's what I'm probably

2677
02:09:11,840 --> 02:09:13,360
Speaker 1: you know when you look back, like man, we wish

2678
02:09:13,360 --> 02:09:16,400
Speaker 1: we could have got him uh into a championship game

2679
02:09:16,920 --> 02:09:18,560
Speaker 1: or at least to compete for one and that and

2680
02:09:18,600 --> 02:09:20,919
Speaker 1: that's what everybody plays this game for us to win championship.

2681
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:23,280
Speaker 1: So that's the hardest thing to see a guy that's sold,

2682
02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:27,520
Speaker 1: team driven, um, you know, blue collar, selfless guy that

2683
02:09:27,560 --> 02:09:33,360
Speaker 1: he did have never had that opportunity. Okay, yeah, good

2684
02:09:33,400 --> 02:09:36,440
Speaker 1: send you man, congratulation, good luck uh this weekend, and

2685
02:09:36,480 --> 02:09:38,480
Speaker 1: play well. I appreciate it. A great year you got.

2686
02:09:38,520 --> 02:09:40,160
Speaker 1: You've really put it together. I gotta tell you it

2687
02:09:40,240 --> 02:09:42,560
Speaker 1: was it was fun watching you play this year. Thank you.

2688
02:09:42,680 --> 02:09:44,120
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. I had a lot of fun

2689
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:45,960
Speaker 1: out there. I got these young boys I'm running around with,

2690
02:09:46,080 --> 02:09:48,400
Speaker 1: competing with him, and I really enjoyed this time. And

2691
02:09:48,640 --> 02:09:50,440
Speaker 1: hopefully I can keep you going. And the thought is

2692
02:09:50,440 --> 02:09:53,320
Speaker 1: that you, I don't know, you will come back next year.

2693
02:09:53,400 --> 02:09:56,000
Speaker 1: And you've got to feel really really good and hopeful

2694
02:09:56,040 --> 02:09:58,160
Speaker 1: and positive about words headed. It's a lot of young

2695
02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:01,520
Speaker 1: talent just with the right push and the right things happening.

2696
02:10:01,600 --> 02:10:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this team can explode next year. I think

2697
02:10:03,360 --> 02:10:04,760
Speaker 1: we had the pieces of do it. Does this show

2698
02:10:04,800 --> 02:10:06,320
Speaker 1: have a role to play in your decision whether or

2699
02:10:06,360 --> 02:10:08,640
Speaker 1: not to come back? Well, if Jay stars paying me,

2700
02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:11,160
Speaker 1: I'll come back. We're guaranteed. I mean, I don't know.

2701
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:15,960
Speaker 1: I've been asking for three years now for something. They

2702
02:10:16,080 --> 02:10:20,120
Speaker 1: always asks Steve and I coming back. One Bill's Line

2703

Speaker 1: for One Bill's Driving. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. What

2704
02:10:37,480 --> 02:10:39,480
Speaker 1: we learn We learned a lot from today's show. It's

02:10:48,320 --> 02:10:53,000
Speaker 1: We covered everything today, Bills, Dolphins, Kyle Williams retirement. We

2709
02:10:53,080 --> 02:10:55,840
Speaker 1: talked with Kyle about his decision to retire just moments ago.

2710
02:10:58,160 --> 02:11:00,520
Speaker 1: My kids are getting older. I've got some middle school

2711
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:02,600
Speaker 1: aged children, and kind of what I shared with the

2712
02:11:02,720 --> 02:11:04,920
Speaker 1: guys earlier during the Q and A and that small

2713
02:11:04,920 --> 02:11:08,440
Speaker 1: press conference was the things that I say are most

2714
02:11:08,480 --> 02:11:11,720
Speaker 1: important to me? Are they really the most important things

2715
02:11:11,760 --> 02:11:13,880
Speaker 1: to me? Or do I just say that because that's

2716
02:11:13,920 --> 02:11:16,800
Speaker 1: what everybody says, right, So it comes down to that.

2717
02:11:16,960 --> 02:11:20,840
Speaker 1: And you know, family and health, and you know there's

2718
02:11:20,840 --> 02:11:22,680
Speaker 1: a lot there's a lot of scenarios there. But I've

2719
02:11:22,680 --> 02:11:25,960
Speaker 1: watched more T ball games and stuff over FaceTime than

2720
02:11:26,280 --> 02:11:29,200
Speaker 1: I care to do anymore. Well, you mean a lot

2721
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:30,920
Speaker 1: of good points. That interview. By the way, we'll be

2722
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:33,400
Speaker 1: up on our website shortly an hour or so, and

2723
02:11:33,440 --> 02:11:35,880
Speaker 1: it's worth watching. I think the interview we did with Kyle.

2724
02:11:36,120 --> 02:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Steve Burline joined us today. Steve's buddy, Steve Tasku's Buddy

2725
02:11:39,320 --> 02:11:41,960
Speaker 1: NFL on CBS covering the game. He's a color analyst

2726
02:11:41,960 --> 02:11:45,560
Speaker 1: on The Bill's Miami Dolphins game this weekend. Steve Burline

2727
02:11:45,600 --> 02:11:47,720
Speaker 1: says he really likes what he sees from Josh Allen

2728
02:11:47,760 --> 02:11:53,520
Speaker 1: this year. You see him seemingly more comfortable in the pocket,

2729
02:11:53,560 --> 02:11:57,000
Speaker 1: getting through his reads and also one of the key

2730
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:00,400
Speaker 1: factors in you know, the Steve is to no win,

2731
02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:03,160
Speaker 1: to to get rid of the football and and avoid

2732
02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:07,720
Speaker 1: taking the hits that um, maybe he is learning the

2733
02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:10,400
Speaker 1: hardway a little bit as far as you know, when

2734
02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:12,080
Speaker 1: it's good to be the tough guy, when it's right

2735
02:12:12,120 --> 02:12:15,560
Speaker 1: to hurdle somebody, which we saw that early earlier in there,

2736
02:12:15,600 --> 02:12:17,440
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that he was told very clearly, don't

2737
02:12:17,440 --> 02:12:20,480
Speaker 1: don't make that a habit. But um, you know, you

2738
02:12:20,520 --> 02:12:24,840
Speaker 1: see him just in general looking more confident, more comfortable

2739
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:28,840
Speaker 1: on the football field and making better decisions. That show

2740
02:12:28,880 --> 02:12:30,720
Speaker 1: took a lot out of me today, Steve. I got

2741
02:12:30,720 --> 02:12:32,960
Speaker 1: to admit, it was a whirlwind of activity. We had

2745
02:12:43,000 --> 02:12:44,960
