00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: These One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2

3
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: you here on One Bill's Live. On the heels of

4
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: the NFL honors last night, we'll get into some of

5
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: that and on the cusp of Super Bowl sixty. Do

6
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: you have any big Super Bowl plans on Sunday.

7
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: Watching with the family.

8
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: You know, I haven't really set anything up either.

9
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: I you know, well, here's what I told the missus.

10
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 3: I have to watch it. That's why I'm watching it,

11
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: because we have to you and I have to watch it.

12
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: And that's the reason I'm watching it. So yeah, go

13
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: and I the thing that gets I'm gonna tune in

14
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: at kickoff. I don't want to hear three national anthems

15
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: and the and all the build up and the and

16
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: the politics that go along with all of this. And

17
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: I think kickoffs like six thirty eight or six forty something.

18
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: It says six thirty but it you know, it always

19
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: runs right. So I'm gonna skip all of that if

20
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,639
Speaker 3: I can. I do a five hour pregame from.

21
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: The NBC people one minute of that stuff. Yeah, because

22
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: it's like they've been talking about the game for two weeks.

23
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: It's gonna be it's gonna be four degrees out and

24
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: there's not gonna be you can't get out. You got it,

25
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: And I'm still not gonna I'm still I still won't

26
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: do it. Yeah, I'm just yeah.

27
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: You can imagine the weather.

28
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: Bills fans are like, I've got a.

29
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: Couple of invitations, but the weather is such where I

30
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: might just be like, yeah, I'm gonna stay in the

31
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: friendly confines of my own home. Yeah, under about three blankets.

32
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: Interesting side note to the super Bowl thing, how different

33
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: would it be? I mean it always sounds perfect for

34
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: if your team's playing in the Super Bowl, have a

35
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: big party, let's go, let's go, let's go. But for

36
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: a team like Buffalo, like our guys and our fan base,

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: it would be much different than it would be, say

38
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: for a Philly Super Bowl, or New England Super Bowl,

39
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: a ram LA super Bowl, some of these San Francisco,

40
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: some of these teams that have been there and been

41
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: here in the last dozen years or whatever, whoever it's

42
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: been Kansas City super Bowl for Bills fans, I don't

43
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: know that you throw a party. You're kind of dialed in,

44
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: aren't You aren't you kind of sick to your stomach

45
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: waiting for the game.

46
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I suppose the motivation can come from rooting against

47
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: the Patriots.

48
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 3: No party, yeah, a party. Now on this one, I'm

49
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: fine because you know who cares.

50
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

51
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh you're talking about last year when they lost

52
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: in the FC tidle game.

53
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: All right, right, or I'm talking anything. I'm talking about

54
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: if a Bills fans, if they were in the Super

55
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: Bowl like tomorrow, Bills fans, I don't know if you

56
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: throw the party because.

57
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: You gotta because you'll be distracted.

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: You've got to watch the game. You can't. You can't

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: worry about the wing dip when the Bills are playing

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl. You know what I mean?

61
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: I think you're right. I hear what you're saying this.

62
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: You're also assuming that every Bills fan is died in

63
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: the wold down to the last detail of every game.

64
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: And I think there's a healthy contingent of Bills fans

65
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: who I would still put in the casual bucket, get it.

66
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: And then those are the people that like the party,

67
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: and well, there's the party is just as important as

68
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: the game, do you know what I mean?

69
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: There's not nothing to there's a dislike about those party.

70
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: I'm not disparaging parties. I'm just saying that you don't

71
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: feel like participating.

72
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: If you're one of those things, well, if you need

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: to be glued to the set, like.

74
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 3: Don't you have to like politely decline your invitations.

75
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: Either that or ask the host, hey, is there an

76
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: auxiliary room for people that just need to listen to

77
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: the broadcast? Do you not want to partake in conversation

78
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: in the room to the point where you can hear

79
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: what's coming out of the speakers of the television exactly?

80
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: And if that person says, yes, we have an auxiliary

81
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: room in the basement. It's a fifty inch screen. Hopefully

82
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: that suffices for your viewing pleasure.

83
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 3: And then that's where you go and you have an announcement.

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: For those of you who want to watch four hours,

85
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: for those of you who want to watch the game

86
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 3: at our watch party, there is an auxiliary room where

87
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 3: you can be quiet.

88
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: Outside of standing in line at the house bathroom. You

89
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: don't talk to anybody. I am part of four Hours.

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: It's really weird because everybody's got this is one of

91
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 3: those you know, it's just another year where we're you know,

92
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: the Bills are not playing in it. So but this

93
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: is a year where fine, I'll give me a party.

94
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: I don't care if I missed a series or two

95
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 3: of this game. I'm gonna chit chatting with some friends.

96
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: And you know, yep, I do know that. I think

97
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: we all know that if the Patriots somehow some way

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: win this game, they will be the winningest Super Bowl

99
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: franchise in league history. Mm hmmm, because they've got six.

100
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh has six, and what is it? Niners have five?

101
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: Dallas.

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: Dallas has five. God, talk about a situation where you

103
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 2: want to throw up in your mouth. So, yes, I am.

104
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: I will have to say that I am not as

105
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: prepared as I usually am with food stuffs for Super

00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: just me and the missus. But I am drastically low

109
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: on nachos here, and that's got to get fixed quickly.

110
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: There's def con four there if you go out low

00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: store on the way home today because I don't know

115

121
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: I was playing football in it, I think, yeah.

00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: In the mid nineties. Yeah, because I've seen ten We've

123

Speaker 2: seen ten below here with the wind, sometimes even fifteen,

124
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,400

Speaker 3: point now where the missus and Ill, all of our

127
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: kids are out of the house, and we have a

128
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: couple of locals, right, so they and they don't want

129
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: to schlep the kids all over, so we go we

130
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: go to their place. So both the local kids have

131
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: big places now too because they both kept kids. So

132
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: we I mean, we'll go over there, and yeah, and

133
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: I don't have to, I mean, I may. I was

134
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: now that you just mentioned that I may make a

135
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: vat of chili just to take over or have.

136
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: Something, especially on a cold day like that hits.

137
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does, it's yeah, it hits. But it's so

138
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: nice to be at the station in life where I

139
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: am now at my age where you're a guest, so

140
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: you don't have to really, you don't have the heavy lift.

141
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: And if you're in an environment in which it's complete chaos,

142
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: you get to leave and go home.

143
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: Right, Well, here's too, and you can play the I

144
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: in particular, I can play the Grandpa card and they

145
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: just fall asleep on the couch. That's what grandpa's do.

146
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, if they and you fake it too, I mean.

147
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,280

Speaker 3: Nobody wants to wake Grandpa up.

150
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

151
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, but I'm I'm totally okay with it. This

152
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl watch party thing. It can be fun,

153
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: no question about it, and it's cool to get get together.

154
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: But I'm I'm interested in that dynamic here in the

155
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 3: last day or two about what it's like for people

156
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: who actually have a dog in the fight and those

157
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: who don't, and how much you want to be distracted

158
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: from the games. Yeah, I hear that, you know, I'm

159
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: could you, Matt? I mean, I can't imagine the angst

160
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 3: of the if the Buffalo Bills were in this game

161
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: going into play the Seattle Seahawks.

162
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: A little bit. Oh my god, people be losing their minds.

163
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you'd have a not in your throat.

164
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: Let's get to the Bills notes, because there are some

165
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: some more coaching staff news is out there. ESPN is

166
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,679

167
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: and defensive line coach Terrence Jamison as their defensive line coach.

168
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,720

169
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,559

Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. Congratulations to the twenty six Pro

176
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame class announced last night at the

177
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: NFL Honors. The inductees will be Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Keighley,

178

Speaker 2: Adam Vanitii, Drew Brees, and Roger Craig.

179
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: That's a fantastic class.

180
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely fan another special team are getting in.

181
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: Adam Vententie absolutely fantastic. Fitzgerald and Drew Brees' first ballot

182
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame guys Luke Keikley I think was his second,

183
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: and the old guy Roger Craig getting in finally, after all,

184
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: is your first guy ever to run four thousand yards

185
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: and received for a thousand yards in the same season

186
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: in the same season. Fantastic class, really, really great son.

187
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: Kudos to those guys. It's awesome to see.

188
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: You want to try to guess what two teams will

189
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: be in the Hall of Fame game because it usually

190
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: mirrors the teams represented in the Hall of Fame class.

191
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 2: I'm thinking it's going to be like Carolina and Arizona.

192
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: Maybe Carolina is the easy one, and maybe New Orleans Carolina.

193
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: I don't think is any question. Then I don't think

194
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: San Francisco will though.

195
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: They won't have two division teams going against each other,

196
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: so it won't be like San fran and Arizona, or

197
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: Carolina and New Orleans.

198
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: It could be Carolina Arizona, it could be Arizona, New

199
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 3: Orleans and New Orleans. I don't think San Francisco will

200
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: be in it. Because of the Australia Australian game.

201
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: Don't give I don't.

202
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: I don't see the Patriots coming back and playing in

203
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame game after.

204
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: They're going to play in.

205
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 3: The super Bowl.

206
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: They're gonna save. They're gonna save the Patriots for the

207
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 2: Belichick Craft year' that's what they're gonna do.

208
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: That's right.

209
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: But I think Carolina's got a good shot to be

210
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: in that Hall.

211
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: Carolina is in, that's that's the shoe in. And probably

212
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: it's got to be New Orleans.

213
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: Well, it won't be New Orleans because it won't be

214
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: a division.

215
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: It will be either Carolina New Orleans in Arizona. Either

216
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 3: Carolina New Orleans in Arizona. All right, because those they

217
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: those teams never get.

218
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: A chance to play in rarely, I mean rarely. You're

219
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: right about that.

220
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

221
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown's defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz has resigned. Schwartz was

222
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: passed over for the head coaching job as the club

223
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: hired Todd Monkin as head coach. Reports indicate that Schwartz

224
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: is going to sit out the season from coaching. Monkin

225
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: did say in his introductory press conference at you know,

226
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: as head coach of the Browns that he intends to

227
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: run the same defensive scheme, but now has to find

228
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 2: a coordinator to run it, and that may come from

229
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: within with an internal promotion from the previously existing defensive staff.

230
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens there. But Jim Schwartz has foregone

231
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: getting paid the rest of his Browns contract so he

232
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: can leave. I would say he's pretty incensed about how

233
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 2: the head coaching process was handled and him not getting

234
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: the job.

235
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: Well, we heard there was, you know, obviously all the

236
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: stuff going around. We heard that he had as soon

237
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: as it was announced, he was going around the building

238
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: saying goodbye to everybody.

239
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be back ABC later.

240
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I get it. I mean, what are you

241
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: gonna do.

242
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember if he was there on the

243
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: staff prior to Stefanski the last time they had a

244
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: hiring cycle, and if he was interviewed then, I don't

245
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: think he was because he was here.

246
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: I don't think he was that was he was.

247
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: Here twenty thirteen, fourteen.

248
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: Stefanski was hired in seventeen. Yeah, he was three years

249
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 3: out of he was in Philly right after he left here.

250
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna remember. I was just curious if

251
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: he had been through this a second time and still

252
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: didn't get the gig. Guys like whoa Rams quarterback Matthew

253
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 2: Stafford won NFL MVP at last night's NFL Honors. Really cute.

254
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: Did you see his four girls up there on the

255
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: stage with him? Yeah, oh my god, talking about a portrait.

256
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: If ever, there was one his four young girls flanking him,

257
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: and then he drops the bomb that I don't even

258
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: think Sean mcvain knew. So at the end of his

259
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: acceptance speech, he tells the girls, what do you say?

260
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: We tell everybody how we're gonna kick some ass next

261
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: year in twenty twenty six, And because at the end

262
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: of the season it was unknown as to whether or

263
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: not Stafford was going to come back for another season,

264
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: and he pretty much confirmed that he will be doing that.

265
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 2: And just by the reaction from some of his teammates

266
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: in the seats, you knew it was a surprise announcement.

267
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: So kind of a nice way to finish off your speech,

268
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: tell your teammates you're coming back for another year. Yeah,

269
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: they were pay happy about that.

270
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: I mean, he had an MVP season, why not come back?

271
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't. I've heard it said, and I

272
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: remember feeling this way as a player myself, not to

273
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: the extent I mean I was not. I was no

274
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: Matt Stafford. But you only get to play pro football

275
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: when you're young, and if you want to quit, you're

276
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: And unlike what Philip Rivers showed us this year, there

277
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: ain't no coming back, right, There's just no coming back.

278
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: If you want to play, you better keep playing. And

279
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: an old player when we when we got Art still

280
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: on our team back in the eighties, he was old

281
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: then and he played and he was still playing very well.

282
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: And everyone want to know Art, how long you're gonna play?

283
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: How long?

284
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: He would better in defensive.

285
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: He would never say how right, And finally, on one

286
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: of the plane trips home, somebody get I go, how

287
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: long are you gonna play?

288
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 5: What?

289
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 6: Uh?

290
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: He goes, how long do you play? And Art said

291
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: it the best. He said, guys, here's how long you play?

292
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: And everybody got really quiet. It's like, oh my goshna

293
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: he's gonna tell us. He says, here's what you do, guys.

294
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: You play as long as you can possibly play, and

295
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: then play one more year. So the real answer is

296
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: you play as long as you possibly can. You really

297
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: make him kick you to the curb. It's the best

298
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: way to go. And and I heard Peyton Manning said

299
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: it when he says there's only one way. There's only

300
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: one place you can play quarterback as a pro in

301
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: the you know, in the NFL, And that's in the NFL.

302
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: And you gotta play. Once you say goodbye, it's hard

303
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: to get back in. And uh, yeah, so Matt Stafford,

304
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: I agree.

305
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: He was really good this year.

306
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: He was elite this year? Why quit?

307
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was Coach of the Year, Jackson

308
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: Smith and Jigba Offensive Player of the Year, Miles Garret

309
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: unanimous Defensive Player of the Year. Buffalo's Dion Dawkins was

310
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: up for Walter Payton Man of the Year, but the

311
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: award went to Washington Commander's linebacker Bobby Wagner, who has

312
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: done amazing community work for stroke awareness because his mom

313
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: died of a stroke. When how do he was a

314
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: young man.

315
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 3: How do you think Bill's fans feel about Vrabel getting

316
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: the Coach of the year kind of shrug your.

317
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: Shoulders, yeah him. And I gotta tell you, like, just

318
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: thinking about the Super Bowl, this weekend. I know a

319
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: lot of people believe that, you know, the Seahawks are

320
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: gonna stymy their offense and you know, run off and

321
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: leave him.

322
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

323
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: Vrabel MUCKs up games like nobody does. We set it

324
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: back in week five when that game was coming up.

325
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: Bill's Patriots Sunday Night Football.

326
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: Here's gonna be a rock fight.

327
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: We said, yeah, it's gonna be a rock fight. Because

328
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: he has a knack for mucking up games. He uses

329
00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: time management to his advantage to minimize scoring opportunities for

330
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: the opponent and to minimize mistakes for his own team.

331
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: And it's like Steve has said before, like you think

332
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 2: you're kicking their tail, but you look up at the

333
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: scoreboard with two minutes left and it's twenty four to

334
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: twenty yeah, and you're like, what, how how are we

335
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 2: not annihilating these guys?

336
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 3: That's right, he is. He's a He's like Bill Parcells

337
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: was back in his day, those giant teams that they

338
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: just you can't run off and leave them. They just

339
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: won't let you. And that's what Mike Vrabel does with

340
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: these with this version of the Patriots, they just they

341
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 3: just get the game and just make keep it close.

342
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: They just keep it close. So I'm I think Bill's

343
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 3: fans begrudgingly got to not give him the Noaz. Yeah,

344
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: that guy's done. They were three and fourteen or four,

345
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 3: four and thirteen last year. Now they were thirteen and

346
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: four this year. That was a fantastic job by him.

347
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: And unfortunately you and I sat here for months when

348
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: they hired. We were like, we knew we could see

349
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: it coming.

350
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: I didn't see thirteen and four coming, but I firmly

351
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: believe that they were going to be the biggest competition

352
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: in the division. Oh yeah for Buffalo.

353
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: Well yeah, they which may not Robbery Limb despite getting

354
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: snubbed by the Hall of Fame, Robert Kraft runs runs

355
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: an organization over there. I mean they're well led, well run,

356
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 3: and yeah, they just they just don't stay down for

357
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: very long.

358
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys are going to be the host team for

359
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: next season's international game in Rio dejan Earo, Brazil, one

360
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: of nine international games on the slate. Their opponent is

361
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: expected to be revealed in the coming weeks. So eighteen teams,

362
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 2: well maybe not eighteen because jacksonvilleill play a couple of

363
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 2: games in London, so seventeen, sixteen or seventeen teams will

364
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: be played international games half the league this year, and

365
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: after the Bills dodged that bullet last year, I'm kind

366
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 2: of thinking they might be in Europe. Who would it be, Well,

367
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: I have to look to see who the designated teams

368
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: are for. Well, we know Jacksonville is right, Yeah, well,

369
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna use the commercial break to maybe yeah, we

370
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: can throw them ascertain.

371
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: If the home and away schedule for the Bills. The

372
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: Bills have the NFC West.

373
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: Right, and the Bills only have eight home games this year, right,

374
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: They're not gonna nine away home a home game as

375
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: an international participant, and they go on the road to Houston, Minnesota,

376
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: Green Bay, La Rams, Vegas, Denver So and then the

377
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: three the three division opponents Miami, New York, New England, Denver, Vegas,

378
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: Green Bay, Minnesota, Houston and La Rams. And the Rams

379
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: are already playing in AUF.

380
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 3: You could see you could see the Bills getting a

381
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: game against the Raiders someplace. I don't know. They're not

382
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: getting a Rams game. The Rams are going to Australia.

383
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: They're not. They're paying off. That's off the table, so

384
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: it'll be Houston, Minnesota, Green Bay or Vegas, maybe Denver.

385
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: I wonder if a division game is possible. No, well,

386
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: the Rams are playing the Niners in Australia. That's a

387
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: division game.

388
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: Could I don't think.

389
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 2: It's off the table.

390
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

391
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 3: It could be Patriots Bills, right or Jets Bills. I

392
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 3: don't think the Dolphins the new head.

393
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: Coach, and I believe the Jets and the Dolphins.

394
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: I wonder if they give you, you know, the finger

395
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: quote special dispensation, if you have a brand new head coach,

396
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 3: they get a chance not to do that.

397
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

398
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: With ten, with ten new coaches, I don't think they can.

399
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know how that's gonna Yeah, that's not

400

417
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 7: back to the rock pile. So you know, anyway, I'm

418
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 7: the one that you guys said, call you Yvonne because

419
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 7: I snuck on the field during the Oakland game. They

420
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 7: had freezing games, you know, the fifty one to three,

421
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 7: and I went on with my cousin's ID, which he's

422
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 7: a guy, but my family was taking that's as to

423
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 7: how long it would take for me to get kicked out,

424
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,240

00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 7: rest of the game, and afterwards, my cousin's called, you know,

428
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 7: just carried me out. But anyway, Steve, I have to

429
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 7: thank you for something that means more than anything you

430
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 7: helped turn my life around. I lost my house to

431
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 7: a fire a little over a year ago, and I

432
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 7: lost everything. I was there forty six years, and I

433
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 7: lost two precious pets. But anyway, I kind of went

434
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 7: into shock, and I was staying in a friend's room

435
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 7: and I wouldn't leave the room. I couldn't eat or sleep.

436
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 7: It was I lost every memory of my parents and

437
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 7: my daughters. So anyway, my daughter was really concerned. She

438
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 7: got me, of course, you're my favorite player and my

439
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 7: dance too. She got me one of your jerseys and

440
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 7: she said, I have a signing ticket for you to go,

441
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 7: but you got to get out of this room. And

442
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 7: if I know, if anything would do it, it would

443
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 7: be something with Steve Tasker.

444
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: There I got daughter.

445
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 7: So I did go, and it was with Andre Reid,

446
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 7: and you got me out of the house. You were

447
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 7: so kind. You were just so kind. And Andrea also

448
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 7: who I caught a pass and stepped on my foot

449
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 7: when I stuck on the field by the way, But anyway,

450
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 7: you gave me hope. You gave me hope too. Just

469
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 7: Okay, go bills.

470
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: You appreciate that.

471
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: Thanks.

472
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: That's a great story.

473
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I'm glad.

474
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: Look at the look at the lives you're changing out here.

475
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: This is amazing.

476
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: People ask me for my autograph once and I tell

477
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 3: him I got a lifetime supply. As long as I

478
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: can write, I guess I can sign your thing for you,

479
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 3: so I'm always having to do it in person. And yes,

480
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: that's great, that's really cool. Yeah, so good for you,

481
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: Good on you, Don I'm glad things are looking up

482
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 3: for you and the new house and everything.

483
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: That's all's great. Yeah, let's go. We're gonna step aside

484
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 2: and take a break because we're up against it here.

485
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: But when we come back, we'll lead off with Kevin

486
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: and Hamburg and others. Holding at eight oh three, five

487
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: point fifty. We should tell you second hour of the show,

488
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna catch up with Chase Daniel, former NFL quarterback

489
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 2: and current podcaster with Diana Rossini, because he worked with

490
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: both Pete Carmichael and Joe Brady in New Orleans, so

491
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: we want to bend his ear about what he experienced

492
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: in the quarterback meeting rooms with those two guys several

493
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: years ago and what we should expect from these two

494
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: now running the offensive ship here in Buffalo as well

495
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: as the head coaching operation. So we'll catch up with

496
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 2: him an hour number two, which your phone calls are

497
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,240

520
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: You guys, No, we're working on that right now. So

521
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 2: the only way to communicate as of right now, beginning

522
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: on Monday, is via the tweetsheet on x at one

523
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, where you can send a written comment into

524
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: our topic of discussion or whatnot. We hope you have

525
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 2: a new phone number for you in short order to

526
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: call in in the future.

527
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 5: Okay, but still watch this channel I'm watching right now.

528
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: There you go, yes, correct.

529
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 5: Okay, but I wanted to talk about something else, the

530
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 5: man film Mailbig you were bringing up earlier about how

531
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 5: you can't believe nobody can believe that the pavement is

532
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 5: turning around so fast, you know, then take our division. Honestly,

533
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 5: I think one of the main reasons why not the

534
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 5: only why McDermott really did in some way to not

535
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 5: only get fired, but the thing that we lost our

536
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 5: division number one to the team that tortured us for

537
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 5: years number two, the guy that that was on the

538
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 5: team that tortured us for years had to creep into

539
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: Pagua in Brandon Bean's mind. Not the only thing, but

540
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 5: I'm sure it did to lose our division of the

541
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 5: team that tortured us for year like bullies, and then

542
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 5: the coach was on that team. So I mean, I

543
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 5: think that wasn't the only reason, but I think that's

544
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 5: one of the top reasons.

545
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I get where you're coming from, Kevin.

546
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was the who as much

547
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 2: as it was the what. Seeing Mike Vrabel come in

548
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: and basically flip a team's record that was wayward under

549
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: a one and done head coach and do it in

550
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: one year and get all the way to the Super Bowl,

551
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: although I think we all recognized it was a fortuitous path.

552
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: You know, you have CJ. Stroud playing a horrible game

553
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: in the divisional playoff and then you get to play

554
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback in the AFC title game, all while

555
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 2: playing a last play schedule during the season. Fortunate, but

556
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 2: you can't blame them for who they had to play,

557
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: and they took care of business. So that's the bottom line.

558
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: And look, I think a guy coming in in year

559
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: one in doing that may have influenced or impacted the decision,

560
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: but I don't think it was the underlying reason. I

561
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: think it was more the cumulative lack of success in

562
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: getting over the hump in the postseason, and there was

563
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: a theme through that as well, with substandard defensive performances

564
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 2: in those big playoff games. I think those were the

565
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: overriding factors.

566
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it had anything to do with

567
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: New England. I think it had to do with what

568
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: was going on in this building and what was what

569
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: they wanted to do in this building. I don't think

570
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: it had to do with anybody else. Everybody else is

571
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: always trying to be and sometimes they catch lightning in

572
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: a bottle. Even if New England doesn't, you know, doesn't

573
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 3: repeat this performance next year, this could always happen. It

574
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: could happen with the Jets for goodness sake. So I

575
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: don't think any of the changes going on at one

576
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: Bill's Drive had anything to do more than any other

577
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 3: year with what was going on around them in the league.

578
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: I think it had to do with what was going

579
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: on in this building, how they were performing on Sunday

580
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: in this building, the tenor of the vibe, the length

581
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 3: of time they had to get it right here and

582
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 3: getting so close and so close again, and then close again,

583
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 3: and then another time that they got close, they just

584
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: couldn't get there. I think that had more to do

585
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: with it than anybody else winning games. I think it

586
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 3: was about what's going on in this building, not what

587
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 3: happened in New England. I get your point and I

588
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 3: get the logic behind it, but I don't think it's accurate.

589
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to Ryan in Toronto next. What's up Ryan, Steve,

590
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: Happy Fanny?

591
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 6: Hopefully? I guess it was the last YOW in WGR All

592
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 6: the best of you guys moving forward. Thanks, you gotta

593
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 6: talked about internashit game. How do you guys feel about

594
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 6: I got two talks by the way, Green Bay in

595
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 6: Spain versus the Buffalo Bills. Bobby Babbage was a Jim Leonard.

596
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're going to Spain, right, you're right

597
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 2: about that? Yeah, would hey, I'd be all about that.

598
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: I can speak a little Espanol, I'd be okay over there.

599
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: I can order I know, I can order dinner.

600
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure.

601
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 6: Seconally. Honestly, I know a lot of Bills fans they

602
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 6: don't want the pages of went. But realistically, do you

603
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 6: want Sam Donald Avn or do you want the Pats event?

604
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 6: That's the main question. Thanks forgating my car. Guys, have

605
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 6: a good Friday. Yeah, I have a week in awesome

606
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 6: superwl Rican and all the best of you guys moving

607
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 6: forward on Monday.

608
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: Thanks, thank you so much. I appreciate it.

609
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good call, Sam Darnold, who it'd be

610
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: the first player from the nineteen twenty eighteen draft class

611
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: first quarterback. Six guys taken in the first round, right,

612
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: six or five?

613
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: Five?

614
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: Five guys taken in the first Josh is one of them, Lamar, Sam,

615
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 3: Josh Rosen, Josh Roser and Baker, So all those guys

616
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: taken in the first round, and Donald would be the

617
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 3: first guy to get to a super Bowl out of

618
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: that crew. Tough pill to swallow, especially for Bill's fans

619
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 3: when we've got a lot obviously, what Bills fans believe

620
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 3: is the best guy out of the whole group, and

621
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 3: we couldn't get there with him. Tough pill to swallow?

622
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: Is that tougher to swallow? Then once again, seeing the

623
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: Patriots go back to their eleventh Super Bowl over the

624
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 3: last twenty four years.

625
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 2: I don't even think it's a tough pill to swallow.

626
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm kind of happy that, you know, Donald was able

627
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: to pull his career out of the fire when you

628
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: think about where he was three years ago, he was nowhere.

629
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: Right to overcome the Jets, jinx, reclaim your status as

630
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: a as a top tier quarterback in your draft class

631
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: and then put it on the field as well. I

632
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: mean fourteen and two last year with the Vikings and

633
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: then you know, fourteen and three. He was fourteen and

634
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: two as a starter last year for the Vikings, and

635
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: I think he was and he's fourteen three this year,

636
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: Like good for him.

637
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, on the other side, I kind of

638
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: I'm kind of with Brownie on this one. Donald is

639
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: a little more of a sympathetic figure to me, absolutely,

640
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: and so I'm I'm kind of pulling for him. New

641
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: England is you know, I mean, it's the dark Forces

642
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 3: of this world, you know, is the evil Empire for

643
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: for Bills fans, right, So there's no fluff loss there,

644
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 3: but nevertheless, yeah, Donald, I'm I'm kind of in that

645
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 3: spot there. Ryan, I'm I think Sam Donald's a much

646
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: more sympathetic figure, particularly since he's in the other conference

647
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: and on the other coast. So we saw him be

648
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 3: vilified and he was a punchline. He was tossed around,

649
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 3: passed back and forth. He was for he was resurrected

650
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 3: and then kicked to the curb by an organization that

651
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: resurrected him, and.

652
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: Well you get traded to Carolina. That didn't work. He

653
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: washes out there. He's a backup in San fran plays

654
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: a little, but he does credit San Francisco for making

655
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 2: the game fun again for him. He said, that's when

656
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: things started to turn around. And then obviously he got

657
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 2: with Kevin O'Connell you know, in Minnesota, and things really

658
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: changed for him, even though he didn't have success in

659
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: the postseason, but then that changed this year with Seattle.

660
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: He played pretty well in the postseason against teams that

661
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: were wholly familiar with him. He had six interceptions in

662
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: two games against the Rams during the regular season, and

663
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: played a really good game in the NFC title game.

664
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: Yes he plays under pressure, making good decisions like he

665
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: had a really solid game for that.

666
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 3: Yes he did. Is as good a postseason game as

667
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 3: he's ever had, and you know he deserves to be

668
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: in the super Bowl because of it. I I don't

669
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 3: know that. I don't know that this is gonna be

670
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: a game where he continues that or whether he reverts,

671
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 3: but he's.

672
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: Really don't revert in this one. When the it's.

673
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 3: Easy to root for the guy after what we've seen

674
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 3: him go through.

675
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: And I can't. I like, you could have had the

676
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 2: Mad Hatter on on the Seattle Seahawks and I'd be

677
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: rooting for him. You could have the worst villain on

678
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: the planet and I'd like, you know what I mean,

679
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: the Silver Surfer, name your superhero villain here. It could

680
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: be all on that team and I'd be rooting for

681
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: them because they're playing the pageoon I.

682
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 3: Get where you're right, where Ryan's coming from, because it

683
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: is set does say something about that quarterback class that

684
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 3: came out that was that has been so prolific now

685
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 3: very prolific. I mean, look at Lamar, Josh, Sam, Darnold,

686
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: and Baker, all four of those guys having tremendous success. Yeah,

687
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 3: so it's and it's you know, you got to shrug

688
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 3: your shoulders and kind of like roll your eyes. Yeah, okay,

689
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: you know, Josh isn't the first one of that crew

690
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 3: to go to the super Bowl, but as I think

691
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 3: it's easier for people to set it aside for an

692
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 3: end visual individual and find him as a sympathetic figure. Yeah,

693
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 3: kind of pulling for the guy to play well after

694
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: what we've seen that whole class do now and what

695
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 3: he's been through. So yeah, that's I think that's where

696
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 3: I'm at.

697
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jim in South Buffalo and next, what's up, Jim?

698
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 9: How are you guys doing today?

699
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: Good?

700
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 10: Good?

701
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 9: Just a couple of comments and I want to ask

702
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 9: you guys a question. First of all, I was very

703
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 9: hesitant when I heard about Leonard after watching him. He's young,

704
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 9: he's very intelligent, he thinks before he speaks, and I

705
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 9: think they made a very very good choice there. Staying

706
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 9: with the defense, I'd just like to get your opinions

707
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 9: on Joe Andresen Buffalo. Joe, you think he'll ever get

708
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 9: a chance to play pretty consistent and player. Do you

709
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 9: think they'll sign him again?

710
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

711
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 2: Good questions, Jim. I think with andreason. I think he's

712
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: definitely seen as a commodity on this football team, primarily

713
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: as a special teamer. He was far and away the

714
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 2: leading tackler on special teams this year. I think he

715
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: eclipsed Reggie Gilliam by ten tackles, which is a lot

716
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 2: on special teams. It's hard to be ten tackles free

717
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 2: and clear of the next closest tackler on special teams

718
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: and lead that crew in that category. And Joe did.

719
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: I mean he was like the wire to wire tackle

720
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 2: leader on special teams. That has value and I think

721
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: for new special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers, you know, as

722
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 2: we were discussing a little bit yesterday after he had

723
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 2: his press conference, he's looking for core special teamers to

724
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: build around. Joe is unequivocally one of those players.

725
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, He's He's also got you know, I hate to say,

726
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: but he's got size. You know, he's a good sized

727
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 3: back linebacker. He runs well great and he you know,

728
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 3: six one, two thirty he I'm yeah. I think Joe's

729
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: to be a part of this, no question about it.

730
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: And as for Poyer re signing him, I think that's

731
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: up to up to Brandon Bean. I would not be

732
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: surprised if they get And he's not going to cost

733
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 3: you a ton of money, I wouldn't think because but

734
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 3: he would be a guy you could bring in. And

735
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:20,479
Speaker 3: I think the idea is obvious. Be a mentor veteran depth,

736
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 3: veteran depth, he'll understand. He'll be able to transpose new

737
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 3: terminology into old time ideas, you know what I mean,

738
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 3: into into You know, there's nothing new in the NFL,

739
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: but they call it different things all the time, and

740
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: every different team has a different language for the same concepts.

741
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: The concepts are basic and universal in a lot of ways.

742
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 3: Poyer could help you transpose the old language into the

743
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 3: new language. Because of his veteran leadership and because of

744
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: his experience, he could give you some snaps. Right we

745
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: saw that. I don't think he's going to be able.

746
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 3: You can count on him to give you seventeen games.

747
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 3: But he's but I'll tell you this, he helped this last year.

748
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 3: He helped. It's hard for him to It'd be hard

749
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 3: for somebody to kick him to the curb. Now, maybe

750
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 3: Jim Leonard takes a look at the film and says, no,

751
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 3: I don't think so, you know, maybe that happens. But

752
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: certainly they will have the opportunity. If they want Jordan

753
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: Poorie to come back, they'll talk to him. And it's

754
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 3: not like they're gonna have to be bidding with six

755
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 3: different teams, you know what I mean? If he will,

756
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 3: and it'll be whether Jordan wants to play too.

757
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: Break time for us here more of your phone calls

758

Speaker 10: Was just with the waves going and to step up,

767
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 10: dying to catch my breath, but a lot to say.

768
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 10: Bill Spans Electric Company was turning on the juice. Get

769
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 10: out in southern California. Oh, thelond guy out here, been

770
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 10: out in southern California since eighty eight. You have a

771
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 10: Steve Tasker story that involves my wife, But I'll hold

772
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 10: that for another time and there's more time to say it.

773
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 10: But my question is I need a little psychotherapy because

774
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 10: I am not over this season's lost yet And I

775
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 10: was just wondering, is Josh Allen okay? And is her

776
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 10: quarterback to bring the Super Bowl to Buffalo?

777
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 6: Man?

778
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 10: He gets us to that pivotal moment, but doesn't give

779
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 10: us that one break through play that puts us over

780
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 10: the top. You know, Piladelpia, he missed the two point

781
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 10: conversion in the end zone. The guy was wide open.

782
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 10: He missed Dawson Knox there in Denver through the ball

783
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 10: low to secure. I mean, is that nerves or is

784
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 10: it the fut injury he had? I mean, we move

785
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 10: in the bone. That sounds awful serious. He must have

786
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 10: been in a hell of a lot of pain. But yeah,

787
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 10: give me some psychotherapy. Let me know what's going on

788
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 10: with him? And he's is he gonna take us over

789
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 10: the top.

790
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure thing, Jim. Look, he was playing with a

791
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 2: broken foot. We know that now, and yes it can

792
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: impact your throwing motion. Here's the big reason why. It's

793
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: his right foot. So when he drops back, every time

794
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: he puts his foot in the ground and drives to

795
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 2: throw off of it, it probably hurt like hell. That's

796
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 2: going to influence your accuracy from time to time, So

797
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if it was a factor in it.

798
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 2: But you're right, there were two times this year where

799
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 2: Josh was probably not as consistent with his decision making

800
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 2: as he was in his MVP year a season ago.

801
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 2: But I think that Joe Brady as the head coach,

802
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: is going to one hundred percent hold him accountable as

803
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: a head coach, get in his ear because that's what

804
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: Josh has asked him to do, and Joe Brady, in turn,

805
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 2: has asked Josh to check him if he thinks that

806
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 2: he's doing something within the scope of the offense that

807
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 2: isn't best for the group. So I think those two

808
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 2: guys will work off one another well and bring the

809
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 2: best out of each other. And it's not often that

810
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 2: Josh has two stinker games in a row, let alone

811
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: two seasons that are below his peak standard, if you will. So,

812
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: I think this coaching change is going to invigorate him

813
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 2: to be even better than he's been. And I think

814
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 2: he's capable of that because each and every year he

815
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 2: picks something to work on, and he is usually better

816
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: by leaps and bounds in whatever area that is.

817
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, all I can say about your psychotherapy is that

818
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 3: I have a total faith in that Josh is the guy.

819
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 3: I'm total faith. I just you're not going to find

820
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 3: a better candidate to lead a team to a super

821
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 3: Bowl than him. You can wonder why he hasn't gotten there,

822
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 3: and I would say it is all the things around

823
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 3: him that have not done as well as he has

824
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 3: done on as consistent a basis as he has been

825
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 3: able to do it. You can say, point to the

826
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 3: end of this season and make all kinds of blanket

827
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 3: statements about how he's, in my mind, all inaccurate, about

828
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 3: how this is always the way it happens him. He

829
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 3: always comes up short, he always makes a back. Yeah.

830
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 3: I don't buy that for a minute. The guy is

831
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 3: the guy's money. He has absolute nails in crunch time,

832
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 3: and this team has not been able to be consistent

833
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: enough in the regular season so that every playoff game

834
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 3: has to go through Buffalo, that every team has to

835
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 3: come in and face Josh Allen in this building. This

836
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 3: is I just yeah, I'm and they have made they

837
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 3: haven't taken major steps this offseason to try and get

838
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 3: it to that point. So we'll see if it happens.

839
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 3: But I don't think you will never convince me that

840
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 3: the quarterback has been the problem over the past eight years.

841
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I know a lot of people that are

842
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 2: old enough to remember John Elway often compare him to

843
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: John Elway, And yes, Elway did get to three Super

844
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 2: Bowls early in his career, got annihilated in all of

845
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 2: them with Dan Reeves as his head coach Pat Bowle,

846
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 2: and the owner makes a coaching change, goes to an

847
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: offensive minded coach and Mike Shanahan, and John Elway gets

848
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 2: two Super Bowl titles at the end of his career

849
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 2: because of it, with a very strong running game to

850
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: boot by the way right, So could Josh's career mirror

851
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 2: that to some degree, perhaps because some similar things have

852
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 2: unfolded here for him, and fortunately they've happened at the

853
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: middle of his career, not the end. Let's go to

854
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 2: Jack in Rochester next. What's up Jack?

855
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 11: Well?

856
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 12: I kind of agree with that one defensive coordinator who

857
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 12: said that, Ell, it's kind of like John Oway on steroids, right.

858
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 12: I think we want to prolong his career as much

859
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 12: as possible. And when I watched that Toush push, it

860
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 12: seems like such a violent play. I wonder, why does

861
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 12: Josh Allen have to take the snap? Why can't we

862
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 12: put Knocks behind center or Gilliam or even Anderson. It's

863
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 12: not a rocket science play in terms of what they

864
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 12: have to do, right.

865
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,479
Speaker 2: I just think it's because Josh is the biggest, baddest dude.

866
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 3: You know.

867
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: It's yeah, you can you can.

868
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 3: Make a course, you can make a case for you know,

869
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 3: why not put Alec Anderson at quarterback and put him

870
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 3: in there and let him run it.

871
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 6: Uh.

872
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 3: There's a there's a lot of reasons that seem that

873
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 3: seem uh small like Alec Anderson doesn't isn't used to

874
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 3: taking snaps or carrying the football? Uh doesn't, isn't used

875
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 3: to protecting the ball? Is it used to run with

876
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 3: the football? Uh? And you can say, well, why don't

877
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 3: you get one of the tight ends, same question, same

878
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 3: questions that arise. Not used to taking a snap. Snap

879
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 3: is not easy to take. It looks easy. They make

880
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 3: it look easy under center, it's not. And while it

881
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 3: is a physical play, there is also the possibility that

882
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 3: they may not run the tush push, even with Reggie

883
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 3: Gilliam lined up right behind him. With Josh, you can

884
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 3: call a wrinkle in that play where he doesn't sneak

885
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: it and then goes on the end around or pitches it,

886
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: or throws it or does some trick play out of that.

887
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 3: You're not gonna run a trick play with Alec Anderson

888
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 3: taking that snap for all the reasons I just describe.

889
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 3: So it's a tough play. It's not a complicated play.

890
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 3: Something has to go pretty wrong for somebody to get

891
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 3: really hurt in that plane. When I say hurt, I

892
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 3: mean injured, because every time you run a football play,

893
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 3: somebody hurts. So mostly it's worth the risk. It looks tough,

894
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 3: and it is tough, and it's a lot of bodies

895
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 3: in there pushing around, but the thing that usually causes

896
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 3: injury is velocity, not just force, and there's not much

897
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 3: velocity on the tush push, so That's why it feels

898
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 3: a little different in the risk management category than say

899
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 3: an around or a passing play or whatever, you know,

900
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 3: reverse or whatever have you, what have you. So there's

901
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 3: a lot of reasons for it. It's a very simple

902
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 3: play and it's very easy to execute. But you know,

903
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 3: like you say, it hurts.

904
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: And it could be outlawed this year by the Competition Committee.

905
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 2: It narrowly avoided being eliminated last year. We'll see if

906
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 2: it comes up for a vote again this year. We're

907
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: up against the break. Got to take one here and

908
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 2: when we come back, our number two is going to

909
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 2: begin with former NFL quarterback and co host on The

910
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 2: Athletic NFL analyst Chase Daniel going to join us. Worked

911
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: with both Joe Brady and Pete Carmichael in New Orleans.

912
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 2: What can we expect? He'll tell us.

913
00:48:39,880 --> 00:49:15,360

Speaker 2: to welcome in now a former NFL quarterback and guy

917
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 2: that does a lot of work for the athletic Both

918
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 2: on the Scoop City Podcast with Diana Rossini and also

919
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 2: is doing some film study breakdowns called the breakdown, what

920
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 2: a name for it. It's Chase Daniel joining us, and

921
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 2: we've got Chase here because obviously there's a connection with

922
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 2: the new offensive coordinator for the Bill's Pete Carmichael, as

923
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 2: well as the head coach, Joe Brady. Chase was in

924
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 2: those meeting rooms with those two guys down in New Orleans.

925
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 2: So Chase, first, thanks for the time. Second, I want

926
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: to jump right into this because I want to know

927
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 2: what it was like in those quarterback rooms with these

928
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,959
Speaker 2: two guys. You know, granted at a very young part

929
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 2: of Joe Brady's career here, but how did they run

930
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 2: those rooms? Was it very much Q and A or

931
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 2: was it here's a situation, what's your solution to this?

932
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 2: How did they kind of what was the process in there?

933
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 13: Well, Joe Brady was like an offensive assistant, so he

934
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 13: was a quality control guy. He was running around with

935
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 13: his head cut off, trying to do all these busy tasks.

936
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 4: But he would jump in quite a bit.

937
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 13: And obviously, you know Pete Carmichael, who's now your OC.

938
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 4: He ran the meetings.

939
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 13: He was offensivecored and Joe Lombardi was a quarterback coach,

940
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 13: but when you have a guy like Drew Brees there,

941
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 13: it's really hard to coach him. So I think Drew

942
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 13: taught us everything that we knew and I and I

943
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 13: love the fact that that Joe Brady for me, like

944
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 13: you could always tell right in these meetings. He wouldn't

945
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 13: say a lot because that's sort of the the you know,

946
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 13: your offensive quality control, you're in there, you're learning, But

947
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 13: when he would say some stuff and he would bring

948
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 13: up some type of plays that we would run and

949
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 13: they'd end up scoring for touchdowns, it was always like,

950
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 13: all right, man, this guy has a really really high

951
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 13: ceiling at the NFL level and obviously went to LSU

952
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 13: for a couple of years, but then a calling plays

953
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 13: and now a head guy like you always knew he

954
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 13: had it in him. It was just like, all right,

955
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 13: when is finally somebody gonna give him a chance to

956
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 13: do it? And then to promote from within for the Bills.

957
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 13: I just think it's the absolute right move, Like I

958
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 13: think that he knows the inner workings of that organization.

959
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 13: Obviously Josh Allen feels very strongly about him, and as

960
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 13: Josh Allen wants.

961
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 4: He's gonna get so I'm looking forward to it.

962
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this kind of last couple of weeks.

963
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 3: You kind of know everybody. You know, everybody that anybody's

964
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 3: been talking about. Matt Stafford just won the MVP. You

965
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 3: were a teammate of his in Detroit back in the day.

966
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 3: Joe Brady got promoted to be a head coach here

967
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 3: in Buffalo. Pete Carmichaels now in Buffalo as well. You

968
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 3: worked with and played for Sean Payton, who the Bills

969
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 3: just faced in the playoffs. So you your neck deep

970
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 3: in all of these personalities. What's the thing that at

971
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 3: this time of year, when you've seen these guys going

972
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 3: in around, what strikes you about how all these guys

973
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 3: are intertwined?

974
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean it's crazy. It's just like that Sean

975
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 13: Payton tree. Right, Everyone sort of touches that Sean Payton tree.

976
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 13: And it's just one of those things, even like Breeze

977
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 13: getting into the Hall of Fame, Right, it's just when

978
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 13: you do that type of and have that type of

979
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 13: success somewhere like a New Orleans Saints, right, and then

980
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 13: Denver Broncos. It was like New Orleans West. I mean,

981
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 13: Sean brought everyone under the sun. Now he's sort of

982
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 13: cleaned house and moved on from you know, Lombardi. And

983
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 13: then obviously you guys got Jim Leonard, who I'm a

984
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 13: huge fan of, like a big, big fan of, and

985
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 13: then Pete.

986
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 4: Carmichael as well. And the thing about Pete.

987
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 13: Carmichael that I like the most that's intertwined with Sean

988
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 13: Payton is he's gonna bring such a calming voice to

989
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 13: that quarterback room. And and that's such an old school picture.

990
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 13: I mean, that seems like fifteen years ago that we

991
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,959
Speaker 13: were on the sideline with Drew. But with Pete, it's

992
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 13: such a calming voice. And I think the biggest thing

993
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 13: for a first time head coach, and I think Joe

994
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 13: Brady's getting this right, is you have to surround yourself

995
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 13: with a staff that's not just a yes man that

996
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 13: might push back on you, that might give you a

997
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 13: little bit of hey, let's think about it this way. Obviously,

998
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 13: you know it's gonna be Joe Brady's call on everything

999
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 13: that he does, but I do like the staff that

1000
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 13: he's getting. I think Pete Carmichael brings that to the

1001
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 13: room and understands what Joe Brady and Josh Allen are

1002
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 13: trying to do all.

1003
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 2: Right, So you mentioned Jim Leonard, so we'll jump on

1004
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 2: the other side of the ball here for a second.

1005
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: We're familiar with him because he began his playing career

1006
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 2: here as an undrafted rookie and then you know, cars

1007
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 2: out a ten year career in the league. Because he's

1008
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: a smart guy. I mean, he's not a five star

1009
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 2: athlete college player, but smart as a whip man. And

1010
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 2: he comes from a coaching family on top of that,

1011
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 2: so like it was almost his destiny to be a coach,

1012
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 2: if not at just the college level, the pro level

1013
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 2: as well, and here he is. Why are you such

1014
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 2: a gigantic fan of is Well?

1015
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 13: I just think he's an up and comer, and I

1016
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 13: think that learning under Van Joseph in Denver for all

1017
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 13: these years that he's been there, and he's very well

1018
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 13: regarded in that Broncos room. And now he's he's getting

1019
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 13: a chance to call his own defense. First of all,

1020
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 13: I just like the scheme, like it's very much reminds

1021
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 13: me of Sean McDermott scheme. It's very two high safety.

1022
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 13: You guys are running to the football. You don't blitz

1023
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 13: a lot if you do. It's on third down. You

1024
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 13: try to get these guys in third and long and everything.

1025
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 13: For me, it starts with the pass rush. You have

1026
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 13: to be able to affect the quarterback in this day

1027
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 13: and age, or else these corners and these safeties they

1028
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 13: can't do their job.

1029
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 4: And I love the.

1030
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 13: Linebacker crew that Buffalo has. I think they're a great crew.

1031
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 13: I think this is just gonna be You're almost seeing

1032
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 13: like a youth movement of sorts really around the league.

1033
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 13: And to get a guy like Jim Leonard, to get

1034
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 13: a guy like you know, to promote Joe Brady within

1035
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 13: it's gonna be really fascinating to see how they put

1036
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 13: their spin on this defense. Because I was listening to

1037
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 13: a bunch of press conferences with.

1038
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 4: Joe Brady and he's saying, hey.

1039
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 13: Look, I can't wait until Josh Allen throws an interception.

1040
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 13: So I'm on the defensive side of the football getting

1041
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 13: excited about now he has to view it in all

1042
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 13: three phases. I thought that was an extremely interesting quote,

1043
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 13: and I like that about it because it is true,

1044
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 13: like you don't want Josh Allen to throw an interception,

1045
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 13: but you got to figure out what's going on with

1046
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 13: the entire team now, and I think he's ready for that.

1047
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 3: Give us an idea too, of your thoughts. You played

1048
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 3: with this, you know with Drew Brees, first ballot guy.

1049
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 3: You've been teammates with Matt Stafford. You know something about

1050
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 3: Josh Allen as well. Give us an idea of these

1051
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 3: guys and how much of an effect and what kind

1052
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,240
Speaker 3: of coaching when you get to the point of these guys,

1053
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 3: it's a different animal. You're not walking in with you

1054
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 3: know what I mean. You're not walking into a rookie

1055
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 3: free agent room, right, I mean, these guys are PhDs

1056
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 3: in the offense and you got to bring something to

1057
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 3: the table. How is the dynamic different in those rooms?

1058
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1059
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 4: I mean look at and you hit it right on.

1060
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 13: I just think when you have a guy and Josh

1061
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 13: Allen is a top two or three quarterback in the

1062
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 13: entire league.

1063
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 4: I mean MVP type level.

1064
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 13: When you have a guy like that, your team is

1065
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 13: gonna be good no matter what, because as the Bills go,

1066
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 13: Josh Allen will go, and as Josh Allen goes, the

1067
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 13: Bills will go. And it's just it's so easy to

1068
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 13: sort of you it's hard to explain, but I've been

1069
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 13: in a room with rookie quarterbacks like you were saying,

1070
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 13: or first or second year quarterbacks where you're trying to

1071
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,240
Speaker 13: install the offense and you're taking baby steps.

1072
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 4: You might be football one oh one or football two

1073
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 4: h two.

1074
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 13: With Josh Allen and especially with Joe Brady, there it's

1075
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 13: football five oh five from the jump in training camp. Yes,

1076
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 13: you started all over, you got you gotta build it

1077
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 13: all up. But I just think that the level of

1078
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 13: smarts of ingenuity in the offense it's at a next

1079
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 13: level with Josh Allen, and he's been able to handle

1080
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 13: so much. And I love the way Josh Allen has

1081
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 13: has gone about his career. You know, it was a

1082
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 13: little struggle at the beginning. Then he shot right up

1083
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 13: and then everyone you know, here and there you'll see

1084
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 13: some turnovers, you see this.

1085
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 4: I just like the way though that he's played, and

1086
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 4: he hasn't.

1087
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 13: Been everyone says, hey, Josh Allen puts in that Superman cap.

1088
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 13: He can put on that Superman cap anytime he wants.

1089
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 4: Because he's that good.

1090
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 13: But he's really and Joe Brady's got him to play

1091
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 13: within the offense like, hey, don't do too much when

1092
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 13: too much isn't needed, but if stuff is needed, and

1093
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 13: you saw it a lot this year where he had

1094
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 13: to put the team on their back and they had

1095
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 13: to score a bunch of points. And when you do that,

1096
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 13: you're going to turn the football over like that. That's

1097
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 13: going to happen, right, because you're asked to do so much.

1098
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 13: What I want to see the Bills do, specifically this

1099
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 13: offseason to get more playmakers around them the receiver room,

1100
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 13: build that offense up even more. And I think that's

1101
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 13: sort of what you've seen go through with Patrick Mahomes, Right,

1102
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 13: they built this offense up and then all of a

1103
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 13: sudden they sort of lost some playmakers.

1104
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,919
Speaker 4: And it's ah not the same guy.

1105
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 13: But what separates Josh from any other quarterback I think

1106
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 13: in the NFL is the way.

1107
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 4: He uses his legs.

1108
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 13: He's able to get outside of the pocket. He's not

1109
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 13: just a scrambler to run, he scrambles to throw. And

1110
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 13: when you've got a special guy back there leading your

1111
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 13: entire room, man, the sky is the limit. I mean,

1112
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 13: it's Super Bowl every single year, and what the Bills

1113
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 13: should be thinking, all right.

1114
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 3: This is the thing too. So you got this guy

1115
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 3: who's five oh five on offense every time. I mean,

1116
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 3: he's a PhD and he's doing all this stuff at

1117
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 3: a very high level. How patient does Josh and Joe

1118
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 3: Brady and Pete Carmichael have to be to get everybody

1119
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 3: else out of the football one oh one classroom into

1120
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 3: the football five h five classroom? As you said, you know,

1121
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 3: how patient do you have to be? And how patient

1122
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 3: does Josh have to be waiting on somebody? Well, in

1123
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 3: this case last year James Cook maybe did it. But

1124
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 3: you gotta have guys that are at that level, and

1125
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 3: it seems the Bills are in a perpetual waiting mode

1126
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 3: for that.

1127
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, And I think that you can't wait on those guys.

1128
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 13: You have to bring those And I think that's what's

1129
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 13: so good about Josh. He brings those guys up. The

1130
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 13: best quality of any quarterback. Can you make the players

1131
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 13: around you better? And Josh Allen has done that to

1132
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 13: a point. At some point, they're going to have guys

1133
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 13: in that room that are gonna have to raise.

1134
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 4: Their level of play.

1135
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 13: Because so many times this year I would see just

1136
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 13: press man the man across the board, Shakiro would win Coleman.

1137
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 13: Maybe it's like one and done for Josh, and I

1138
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 13: think that's the biggest thing is I think they need

1139
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 13: to get some more guys going around him, specifically down

1140
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 13: the football field receiver, And I think Hem Coleman can

1141
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 13: be a guy like that. But at some point, at

1142
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 13: some point, You're right, they're gonna have to up their game,

1143
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 13: like Josh. Can't be patient, You can't wait. In the NFL.

1144
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 13: When you have a guy like Josh, you got to

1145
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 13: get on his level, and you gotta get on his

1146
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 13: level fast. And that comes from you guys know, training camp,

1147
00:59:54,680 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 13: OTA's preseason, everything like that, and it's such a bill

1148
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 13: to that seventeen which will soon to be eighteen games

1149
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 13: of the season.

1150
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 4: You got to get on that train. You got to

1151
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 4: get going fast.

1152
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 2: All right. So let's play a little bit of a

1153
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 2: hypothetical game here, Chase, because what we're all talking about

1154
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,959
Speaker 2: kind of comes to the same point of inflection here

1155
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 2: with Brady now as the head coach, you know, the

1156
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott pushed for balance in the offense, and after

1157
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 2: day Ball moved on to the Giants, he really impressed

1158
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 2: upon Ken Dorsey and then Joe Brady. Let's have balance

1159
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 2: in the offense. And this was a team that was

1160
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 2: pretty much fifty to fifty run pass this past year

1161
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 2: and even the year before. Maybe to some extent people

1162
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 2: felt there were restricter plates on Josh Allen and how

1163
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 2: much he could throw it all over the yard. But

1164
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:45,919
Speaker 2: part of that, to your point that you just made,

1165
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 2: might be because of the personnel that was around him.

1166
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 2: How do you feel this morph's and changes under Brady?

1167
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 2: Do they get more aggressive and lean more pass even

1168
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: though people are going heavier formations nowadays, provided they get

1169
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 2: some of that receiving help you're talking about.

1170
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 13: Yeah, Look, if you just it's a perfect study on

1171
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 13: Pete Carmichael's days with the Saints, and you look at

1172
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 13: what Drew Brees was able to do. Obviously throwing the football,

1173
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:14,959
Speaker 13: they threw it a lot. I was on five years

1174
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 13: on that squad with Drew and Sean and Pete, and

1175
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 13: obviously we skewed more pass. We probably skewed sixty five

1176
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 13: thirty five passed to run. Now in this day and age,

1177
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 13: it's different. You have to be able to run the football.

1178
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 13: You have James Cook. I understand that. But if you

1179
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 13: go back and you really watch it, like they're they're

1180
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 13: gonna throw the football, and they're gonna be in the

1181
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 13: under center, they're gonna be in the play action realm.

1182
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 4: And and if you watch.

1183
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 13: Really closely at these Saints films and how how it happens,

1184
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 13: I think it fits Josh Allen's nicely the game nicely.

1185
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 4: I really do.

1186
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 13: And I do think that in this league, when you

1187
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 13: have a quarterback like Josh Allen, he's he's you know,

1188
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,479
Speaker 13: he's up there and he's MVP, you gotta be able

1189
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 13: to unleash him. You gotta be able to let him

1190
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 13: throw the football down the field. And I do think

1191
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 13: that you're gonna see I mean, I actually love the

1192
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 13: Bills run game. I love the run scheme. I thought

1193
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 13: Joe Brady did a heck of a job once Kendric

1194
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 13: he left us. Hey, we're gonna run the football. It

1195
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 13: takes some pressure off of Josh Allen. But if you

1196
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 13: go back and really study the States schemes, I don't know,

1197
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 13: and I might be saying maybe Marcus Colston.

1198
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 4: I don't know. If many people can name.

1199
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 13: Those receivers that Drew Brees had in those five thousand

1200
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 13: yard seasons, it's very similar, right to the level of talent.

1201
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 13: I mean, I would say, it's even less than the

1202
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 13: level of talent of receiver the Buffalo Bills have now.

1203
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 13: So you're scheming guys open, you're getting stuff going. I mean, Breeze,

1204
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 13: I don't know if he had a Pro Bowl receiver, right,

1205
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 13: And it's very similar situations to what Josh Allen is

1206
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 13: in now. And I love the receivers that you guys have,

1207
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 13: but I don't know if they need this bone to

1208
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 13: fide thirty five million dollars a year receiver to unlock

1209
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 13: the offense.

1210
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 4: I think it's the coaching staff. I think it's schemes.

1211
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 13: I think that you have to find out each receiver

1212
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 13: what they do really well and put them in a

1213
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 13: position to succeed. And that's what this offense does.

1214
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 2: All right, let me take that a step further, Chase,

1215
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 2: because we've seen what James Cook has been able to

1216
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 2: do as a runner, but when he came out in

1217
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 2: the draft, he was largely viewed as a third down

1218
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 2: pass catching back because that's kind of what he did

1219
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 2: at Georgia And it's hard not to draw comparisons to

1220
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara and under Carmichael and Peyton, Kamara had three

1221
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 2: straight seasons of eighty receptions or more. Yeah, Cook in

1222
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 2: the last two years has not had more than thirty five,

1223
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 2: which could you foresee an uptick in his involvement in

1224
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 2: the passing game. Especially to your point if you don't

1225
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 2: see an alpha male receiver added to this roster.

1226
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it.

1227
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 13: I mean, I think that this Sean Payton offense and

1228
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 13: Pete Carmichael and they want to throw the football to

1229
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 13: the back. I mean you're going to see a lot

1230
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 13: of halfback options. You're going to see some rail routes,

1231
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 13: You're going to see some Hey, if it's not there,

1232
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 13: check it down. I mean not only Album Kamara, but

1233
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 13: remember when we had Darren's brow. I was on the

1234
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 13: darren Sproles team and it was half back choice every

1235
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 13: other play. And it's a situation now there.

1236
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 4: Are different running backs a little bit.

1237
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 13: I don't know if James Cook has the amount of

1238
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 13: wiggle as much as Album Kamara, but it is a huge,

1239
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 13: huge deal in that offense. And look, it's like when

1240
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 13: you come in and you game plan for the week,

1241
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 13: you might have you know, you have three step five

1242
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 13: step seven step play action and the three five seven

1243
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 13: step I mean you might have fifty plays. Fifteen of

1244
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 13: them are designed to go to the running back in

1245
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 13: the first or second option. So it's a good bit

1246
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 13: of the offense, right. You don't want to lean on that,

1247
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 13: but Sean's Payton's whole deal, and Carmichael's like, hey, if

1248
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 13: they're playing his own coverage and we don't like to

1249
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 13: look check it down, like check it down. I think

1250
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 13: Joshua does a really good job of that going through

1251
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 13: progressions and we need to get out of.

1252
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 4: The pocket to make plays with his legs.

1253
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 13: I think he does that, but I absolute would see

1254
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 13: an uptick in James Cook's catches for sure.

1255
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 3: We've got a new film series coming out called The Breakdown,

1256
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 3: where you're going to break down some film for people

1257
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 3: and what is it that most people miss when they're

1258
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 3: evaluating quarterbacks?

1259
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, thanks for promoting it. I appreciate it.

1260
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 13: We've been doing this YouTube breakdown page for quarterbacks? Did

1261
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 13: josh Allen even this year? And I usually pick four

1262
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 13: or five quarterbacks a week. It's been going on for

1263
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 13: two years now. Just finish my second full year. Now

1264
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 13: we're going to start diving into a little bit more

1265
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 13: of quarterback play in college. Right, So the college NFL

1266
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 13: draft stuff. I think the thing that what I try

1267
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 13: to do in these breakdowns that maybe the average fan

1268
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 13: doesn't see is like, well, that's open, why didn't he

1269
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 13: throw it? And I'm like, well, you know, probably, And

1270
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 13: I try to explain the intricacies of an NFL offense.

1271
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 13: I want you to feel like you are watching film

1272
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 13: with me in the quarterback room with an offensive coordinator, quarterback, coach, backup, quarterback,

1273
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 13: starting quarterback, and you're going over the plays like I

1274
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 13: would do after a game, in explaining the intricacies of it,

1275
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 13: not just like, oh, that's open. We explained concepts, we

1276
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 13: explain defensive coverage. It's all on my YouTube page. And

1277
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 13: so we're launching It's been going on for a while,

1278
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 13: but we're launching specifically the quarterback draft prospect. We just

1279
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 13: did Fernando Mendoza, Ty Simpson. You guys aren't in the

1280
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 13: You guys don't need quarterback right now, so I don't know,

1281
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 13: you know what I mean, but goods. I do think

1282
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 13: it's just awesome. I try to teach fans.

1283
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that can be found by the way at

1284
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 2: patreon dot com slash Chase Daniel.

1285
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 3: Chase.

1286
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 2: I gotta I'm really kind of trying to picture Brady

1287
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 2: in the head coach's seat, and I realized he was

1288
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 2: there for a year or two and then left to

1289
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 2: go to LSU and then went on to Carolina and

1290
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 2: other places, So you didn't really see him per se

1291
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 2: in a new role with new responsibility. Maybe you've kind

1292
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 2: of tracked his career having worked with him previously. But

1293
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 2: what gives you the confidence that, when, when, when Joe

1294
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 2: has been handed additional responsibilities in a larger role that

1295
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 2: has to take care of more, that his thought process,

1296
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 2: his agenda, his approach is going to lead to success.

1297
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you hit it right on and without

1298
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 4: a doubt.

1299
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 13: If anyone tells you that his plate is not going

1300
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 13: to get any more full, you're crazy. Because there are

1301
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 13: so many things that a head coach has to worry

1302
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 13: about that an offensive play caller does not, and so

1303
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 13: it'll be really interesting to see how much he delegates.

1304
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 13: I think that's something that I've been around a lot

1305
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 13: of new head coaches. I've been with them, and one

1306
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 13: thing I always hear them say, after the first year

1307
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 13: and the offensive play callers, I wish I would have

1308
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 13: delegated more. I wish I would have done that because ultimately,

1309
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 13: like you're going to be calling plays and Pete Carmichael,

1310
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 13: you bring him in to have it up. But at

1311
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 13: the end of the day, I mean, I like that

1312
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 13: he's called plays, But there's so many other things you

1313
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 13: have to think about, right You gotta think about the defense.

1314
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 13: You gotta think about special teams. You gotta think about

1315
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 13: strategy during the game. Do we kick it here, do

1316
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 13: we go for it fourth and two? Or we go

1317
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 13: or we not. That's just in game and there's a

1318
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 13: thousand other decisions have to be made. What about during

1319
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 13: the week. You gotta you gotta worry about talking to

1320
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 13: the media every day. You gotta worry about injury reports,

1321
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 13: you gotta be meet with the trainers. You gotta worry

1322
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 13: about talking to the team and getting a message each

1323
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 13: and every week and a strategy for There is so

1324
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 13: much that goes on to somebody's plate like that. I'm

1325
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 13: gonna be really interested to see, especially early and follow

1326
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,719
Speaker 13: this through how he delegates some stuff because you can't

1327
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 13: there's just not enough hours in the day to do

1328
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 13: everything that a head coach would do, and do everything

1329
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 13: that you did last year as a play caller, to

1330
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 13: get ready to call game. So something has to give,

1331
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 13: right unless you delegate. So I'm gonna be really interested

1332
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 13: see if he does that good stuff.

1333
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,559

1343

Speaker 2: get back to the phone calls when we return on

1344

Speaker 2: this obl Fan Friday mailbag. Next on One Bill's Live

1345
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 2: presented by Colada Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio time out

1346
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 2: for this week Scoop of the Week presented by Blue Bunny,

1347
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 2: the official frozen treat of the Buffalo Bills. And I

1348
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 2: would say it's the naming of Jim Leonard as defensive

1349
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 2: coordinator that was the scoop of the week. I mean,

1350
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 2: everybody he was waiting with baited breath to see what

1351
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 2: would happen with the coaching staff, and that you could

1352
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 2: argue was the most important hire of the whole staff,

1353
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 2: knowing Joe Brady's focus is going to be on the

1354
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball, and Jim Leonard's a good get.

1355
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 2: You just heard Chase Daniel Chase Daniels, you know, a

1356
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 2: former NFL quarterback, and he loves Jim Leonard.

1357
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly. I mean there's no guarant you know, we

1358
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 3: don't know the future, and everybody, certainly, it seems like

1359
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 3: the right move. It's been applauded by people outside the organization.

1360
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 3: People like the guy and think, like Chase said, he's

1361
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 3: an up and comer. Right, So if you're looking for

1362
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 3: the next guy to be one of these guys like

1363
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 3: the Jim Schwartz and the Vic Fangios of the world,

1364
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 3: they start as young men, and a lot of people

1365
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 3: are pointing right at Jim Leonard just being that kind

1366
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 3: of guy. It'll be fun to watch if indeed that's

1367
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 3: the truth. Right, We don't know yet, but we think so, right.

1368
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he came across awfully good yesterday and we

1369
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 2: realize it's not about winning the press conference. But there

1370
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 2: is a measured assuredness in the way that Jim comes

1371
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 2: across that I think is going to be very I

1372
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 2: don't know if calming's the right word, but I think

1373
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 2: it's going to put players at ease that what they're

1374
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 2: going to be doing week in and week out is

1375
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 2: going to work for them and be successful if everybody

1376
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 2: just does their job. Because this guy is capable of

1377
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 2: leading a defense, so not let alone calling a defense.

1378
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 2: So it's his show, and I think that was the

1379
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 2: most alluring part of the job because he's going to

1380
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 2: call plays for the first time since twenty twenty two

1381
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 2: is last season at Wisconsin. So that's the Scoop of

1382
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 2: the Week, presented by Blue Bunny. Let's get back to

1383
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 2: the phones where people have been waiting patiently here and

1384
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 2: we go to Lydia north Tonawanda. What do you got

1385
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 2: for us?

1386
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 14: Greetings. I have been listening for decades and decades and

1387
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 14: decades to the football games on the radio, and I'm

1388
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 14: concerned because I don't have a smartphone or the internet.

1389
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 14: How am I going to find it on some radio?

1390
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 14: Will Rochester be carrying you per chance or somebody else?

1391
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 2: You're talking about the games in the fall, right, that's

1392
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:15,919
Speaker 2: what you're asking about. Okay, So by NFL rule, games

1393
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 2: do have to be broadcast on a terrestrial over the

1394
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 2: air station. So there will be a radio station where

1395
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 2: the games will air. It just has not been determined

1396
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:28,480
Speaker 2: what station will undertake that.

1397
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 3: That's to be determined, thank god.

1398
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you'll be.

1399
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 14: Okay since the Simpson Times, and I did appreciate the

1400
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 14: information on Buffalo Joel andresen waiting for as much as

1401
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 14: he can play. He's a good guy and we want

1402
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 14: to that come up as much as we do.

1403
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1404
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 2: Sure, anything else you'll be.

1405
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 14: Covering when where we can find it and all as

1406
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 14: we listen to correct whatever station you're coming on. Will

1407
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:51,759
Speaker 14: that start next week?

1408
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 2: No, well no, it's not going to happen that quickly.

1409
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 2: But I think by I would say by late summer,

1410
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 2: we'll probably know where game broadcasts will air in terms

1411
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 2: of a physical radio station here in Western New York,

1412
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 2: and I'll be I'm confident that it will be pushed

1413
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 2: out on any and all media channels, So you're aware

1414
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 2: of it. So fear not. It will get it will

1415
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 2: get ironed out. It's just gonna take a little lifting

1416
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 2: to get it all done.

1417
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 14: And you guys will appear where we'll be.

1418
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 2: We'll be on MSG on television, the MSG channel, which

1419
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 2: you know, if you have a cable network like Spectrum,

1420
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 2: that would be twenty eight here in Western New York.

1421
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 2: And then we'll also be on the Bills app and

1422
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 2: on Buffalo bills dot com. I realize that doesn't help you.

1423
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 2: But on television if you have cable, we'll be on

1424
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 2: the MSG television network.

1425
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 14: So I can't be able to be sol I can't

1426
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 14: believe it after all these years.

1427
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's that stinks.

1428
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 14: So at least I can get the games in the fall.

1429
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 2: Yes, you will be able to do that, Yes you will.

1430
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 14: Well, guys, thanks and I wish you all the best.

1431
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for listening. We appreciate it. Let's go

1432
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 2: to Joe Anne on a sale. Next. What's up Joanne?

1433
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:05,160

Speaker 6: Yeah?

1437
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 8: Go ahead, Okay, okay.

1438
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 15: Because of ask anything day. These are crazy questions, so

1439
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 15: I have one crazy question of one comment.

1440
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:19,640
Speaker 3: Okay, My crazy.

1441
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 15: Question is why are they still plowing the.

1442
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 10: Field when they're not using the field.

1443
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 15: And my comment is regarding the comedian at the NFL

1444
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 15: Network show last night. Did you hear the comment about

1445
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:41,759
Speaker 15: Josh's wedding and Haley being a catch and Josh knows

1446
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 15: the catch was his comment, and what was your take

1447
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 15: on their comment. I'll hang up and listen to you.

1448
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 8: Thank you.

1449
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 2: It's pretty convenient when things that go wrong in Bill's

1450
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 2: games get turned into jokes for fodder at the NFL Honors.

1451
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 2: If you'll remember after the thirteenth second game where the

1452
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 2: Bills lost in overtime and the offense never touched the

1453
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 2: football and there was a clamoring to change the rule,

1454
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 2: they made a joke at NFL Honors then when Josh

1455
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 2: was in attendance, uh, when they talked about, well, it

1456
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 2: would be nice if both teams could touch the football

1457
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 2: in overtime in the playoffs, right, Josh, And then they

1458
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 2: cut to a camera shot of Josh and he's like, yeah, yep,

1459
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 2: he's shrugging his shoulders.

1460
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 3: And it's not the first time that they've been let's

1461
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,640
Speaker 3: hope it's the last. As a guy who lost four

1462
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 3: straight Super Bowls, I know what it is to be

1463
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 3: the punchline in those things, in those situations, So plow

1464
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 3: grinned take it. The plow in the field. A good question.

1465
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 3: It may be uh there. We got an email today

1466
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:45,600
Speaker 3: they are starting to decommission the stadium and so in

1467
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 3: some of that has to do with the decommissioning of

1468
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:53,640
Speaker 3: the structure, and Brown and I were asking I was

1469
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 3: asking Brown to the exact same question. It may have

1470
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:58,799
Speaker 3: to do with the fact that people are buying patches

1471
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 3: of the turf and they're gonna start up pretty soon.

1472
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 3: Don't know, but I asked the exact same question you did.

1473
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 3: And we just got an email today in house here

1474
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 3: that the decommissioning of the old stadium, the old high Mark,

1475
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,560
Speaker 3: is starting and they're going to start taking you know,

1476
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 3: you know, all the asbestos, and they're rope things off

1477
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 3: and stuff. Parts of the stadium are going to be

1478
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 3: walled off or curtained off or cordoned off, fenced off,

1479
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it, and they're going to

1480
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 3: start taking it apart.

1481
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 2: Instead of a construction site, it'll be a deconstruction site, right.

1482
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 3: And you've and you've heard obviously the plans on selling

1483
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,560
Speaker 3: pieces of it to whoever wants to buy pieces of it.

1484
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 3: So some of that's going on as well. I don't

1485
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 3: know why they're plowing the field. But that's our best

1486
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 3: guess was that they're getting ready to cut it up.

1487
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to Betty on a sale next to

1488
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 2: what's up? Betty? Betty?

1489
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 3: Are you there?

1490
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 11: Yes?

1491
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:55,639
Speaker 3: Go ahead?

1492
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:56,639
Speaker 2: What do you got first, Betty?

1493
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 11: Okay? I wanted to know about Joe Brady and how

1494
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 11: when he sits up in that booth he tells the

1495
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 11: place to Josh and it's always with Cook. The first

1496
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:18,719
Speaker 11: two plays are always with Cook. And the other team

1497
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 11: knows this and they're waiting for it, and they know

1498
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 11: it and they get them every time, and it's through

1499
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 11: the whole game. So if Joe Brady is giving that

1500
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 11: information to Josh to do that play, I don't think

1501
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 11: that's a very good thing.

1502
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 2: Okay. You're entitled to your opinion, Betty, and thanks for calling.

1503
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 2: I don't know that it is universally one hund true

1504
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 2: that that's how every game begins. But I will say

1505
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 2: those are your two best players on offense.

1506
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,680
Speaker 3: It's been a common theme people have said Joe Brady was,

1507
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 3: particularly in the Denver game, was too predictable on first

1508
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 3: and second down handing the ball off. One of the

1509
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,720
Speaker 3: things about and this is one of the things that

1510
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 3: has been conjectured that may change with Joe Brady as

1511
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 3: head coach. I think it was imperative they felt in

1512
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 3: those games, particularly in these playoff games, that the Bills

1513
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 3: offense stayed ahead of the down and distance. They stayed

1514
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 3: on schedule to get first downs, and that means and

1515
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 3: a lot of times, even on a play that doesn't

1516
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 3: look successful, James Cook hands the ball to the official

1517
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 3: and they spot it and it's a four yard game.

1518
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 3: That's a successful first down play. So they were not

1519
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 3: going to deviate from that. And now second and six

1520
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 3: and you get a couple more or three or four more,

1521
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 3: and now it's third and very short. So they were

1522
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:50,759
Speaker 3: very happy to do that for the remainder of whatever

1523
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 3: game you want to talk about. It's been theorized that

1524
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 3: that was from Sean McDermott, like he wanted them to

1525
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 3: kind of keep ahead of the sticks and do that

1526
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 3: because to him, as a defensive coordinator, a four yard

1527
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 3: play on offense was a failure as your defense. You

1528
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 3: didn't want that right. You wanted to stop him for

1529
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 3: no gain or one yard game. But the Bills were

1530
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,759
Speaker 3: too consistently successful on those first and second down runs

1531
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 3: not to keep doing it, and it's gonna be interesting

1532
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 3: to see if that was a Sean McDermott thing or

1533
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 3: whether that's a Joe Brady thing.

1534
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 2: And Betty, just so you know, I just picked one

1535
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 2: game from last season, completely random, and it ended up

1536
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 2: being the Week four game against the Saints. Bill's got

1537
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 2: the ball first first play, James Cook ran for three yards.

1538
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 2: Second play, Josh Allen passed to Joshua Palmer for fourteen,

1539
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 2: So the first two plays weren't to Cook there. Second

1540
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 2: series of that game, Josh Allen passed a Keon Coleman

1541
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 2: for seventeen yards. Second play James Cook for five. So

1542
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 2: I understand how it might seem that way sometimes, but

1543
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 2: the play calling was much more varied than I think

1544
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 2: you were insinuating, and I just wanted to point that out.

1545
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike in Hamburg next. What's up, Mike.

1546
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 8: Ry Brown? Hey, Hey Casker, how do you do.

1547
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 3: I'm doing good good.

1548
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 8: I just wanted to touch real quick on the Joe

1549
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 8: Brady hire and I think it was a good choice,

1550
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 8: and as fire as his coaching staff that he brought in,

1551
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 8: I think it's a good choice too.

1552
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 6: I do like.

1553
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 8: Jim Leonard for sure. Definitely he's going to do something

1554
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 8: with that defense, and mc caren Michael, he's going to

1555
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 8: make something with that offense. I know we got some

1556
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 8: contracts coming up. I hope they do keep him and

1557
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 8: make some arrangements. I'd like to see Joe and Reason

1558
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 8: stick around the other thing. One quick up Sunday, the

1559
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 8: sixtieth Super Bowl, and it's not my birthday and I'm

1560
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 8: going to be sixty, so I'm going to sit back

1561
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 8: and watch the game.

1562
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 2: Well, happy birthday, birthday, Mike. A nice way to spend

1563
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 2: your birthday. Hey, watching the super Bowl. That's pretty good. Yeah,

1564
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 2: you're unimpressed.

1565
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:08,639
Speaker 3: No, I just wish there were two different teams playing.

1566
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 2: Well, you know there is that it's his birthday, but

1567
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure see his birthday needed to be before the

1568
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,560
Speaker 2: super Bowl because then his birthday wish would be the

1569
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 2: Bills in the Super Bowl, and then it might have

1570
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 2: manifested itself and happened. The wish is gonna come way

1571
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,720
Speaker 2: too late, going to blow out the candles and the

1572
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 2: Super Bowl is gonna be at halftime.

1573
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:27,600
Speaker 3: It's your fault, Like, what do you do?

1574
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 2: We're blaming Mike on that one. And I also believe

1575
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 2: Joe Andreesen is under contract for next season, so I

1576
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 2: don't believe or he might be an exclusive rights free agent,

1577
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 2: but those players typically re sign for another year and

1578
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 2: then become restricted free agents. So usually exclusive rights free

1579
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 2: agents come back to the team they were with the

1580
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 2: year before, and I would anticipate that would be the

1581
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 2: way that goes, because as we talked about earlier, he

1582
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 2: was a valuable member of the special teams, you know,

1583
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 2: the core special teams player and eating tackler by a

1584
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 2: wide margin last year. So yeah, he's under contract for

1585
01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 2: another season. So his contract runs through the twenty twenty

1586
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 2: six seasons, so you don't have to worry about him

1587
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 2: coming back. I guess to a certain extent, you might

1588
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,599
Speaker 2: be worried that he makes the fifty three man roster,

1589
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 2: knowing this roster is probably gonna undergo the most personnel

1590
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:23,719
Speaker 2: change we have seen since the McDermot era began.

1591
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:27,679
Speaker 3: Andreeson's contract, from the information I've.

1592
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 2: Got, have it right here, runs through the twenty sixth season.

1593
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 2: Right there you go, So he should be good to

1594
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 2: go for this year.

1595
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1596
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:42,680
Speaker 2: Look, change can be good, as we know, I think

1597
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,600
Speaker 2: you share this sentiment when you have changes like this,

1598
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 2: particularly the one on the defensive side of the ball.

1599
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:52,240
Speaker 2: I think the roster turnover, coupled with the fact that

1600
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 2: you have twenty two unrestricted free agents, I think the

1601
01:22:55,800 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 2: timing is ripe to have probably the most roster turnover

1602
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 2: we have seen, perhaps in a decade right. So it

1603
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me if that happens. You know, by the

1604
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 2: time we get to free agency, and then you know,

1605
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 2: even further into the off season, so changes are expected.

1606
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 2: It's only natural. It's part of how this league functions.

1607
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 2: Things eventually turn over at some point in time. They

1608
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 2: did in Baltimore after eighteen years, they did here after

1609
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 2: nine years. It's just kind of how the league works.

1610
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick look at the OBL

1611
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 2: Friday fan mail bag. We'll squeeze in a question here,

1612
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 2: then take a break and get some more tweets. Sheet

1613
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,679
Speaker 2: brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1614
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 2: moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Alan asked, you guys

1615
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 2: think Cedric van Pran Granger is close enough to take

1616
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 2: over the center job or should we be pursuing someone

1617
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,600
Speaker 2: in the event. Connor McGovern leaves I will tell you

1618
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 2: in the few instances where Connor McGovern had to leave

1619
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 2: the lineup, and they were few and far, but last year,

1620
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 2: the guy that came in was Alec Anderson. He was

1621
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:05,560
Speaker 2: the guy that would come into the game as the

1622
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 2: backup center. So I think there are future plans for

1623
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,639
Speaker 2: Cedric van pran Granger, and maybe that comes to fruition

1624
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. But in twenty twenty five, albeit

1625
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 2: under a different head coach and a different offensive line coach,

1626
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 2: the backup center for all intents and purposes was Alec Anderson. Right,

1627
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 2: So he's a restricted free agent, I would anticipate he's back.

1628
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 2: I think they do like him in the building and

1629
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 2: the attitude he brings to the field. And if you

1630
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 2: cannot bring back both Connor McGovern and David Edwards, who

1631
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 2: are both unrestricted free agents in March, I think there's

1632
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 2: a very good chance Alec Anderson fills one of those

1633
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,640
Speaker 2: two openings.

1634
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 3: What do you think, Yeah, they've got they feel really

1635
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 3: good or they have felt up to this point very

1636
01:24:53,280 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 3: good about their depth. Alec, Alec Anderson, Vandermark and Cedric

1637
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 3: Van pran Granger. They liked those three guys and they

1638
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 3: had Tayland grabil as well, and so it wouldn't surprise

1639
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 3: me if they elevated one of those three guys to

1640
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 3: a starting position. I might be a little surprised if

1641
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:22,759
Speaker 3: both Connor McGovern and David Edwards got out of the building.

1642
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 3: They might, but I think there's probably some sentiment there

1643
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 3: to bring at least one of those guys back, right,

1644
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 3: And to me, center's a harder's position to replace at

1645
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,360
Speaker 3: a high quality because the center is the guy that

1646
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 3: communicates line calls, protection issues.

1647
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 2: It's valuable continuity, it's for your offense.

1648
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a it's a very responsibility laden position outside

1649
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 3: of the physical part of it. So I would be

1650
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:57,639
Speaker 3: I think Connor McGovern is probably the more valued asset

1651
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 3: just because of the position he and that says that,

1652
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 3: even if he's not as good a center as David

1653
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 3: Edwards is a guard, you know what I'm saying. The

1654
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 3: center's spot itself may be the tipping point where they

1655
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:12,680
Speaker 3: say we're gonna we're gonna sign one, We're gonna do

1656
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 3: the center. I don't know if that's all, but I

1657
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 3: would be surprised that both those guys escape, But they could.

1658
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 2: Break time for us here some final questions on the

1659
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 2: tweets sheet, and then a reminder as to where you're

1660
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 2: gonna be able to find us effective Monday. We'll get

1661
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:28,680
Speaker 2: to all of that when we return here on one

1662
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 2: Bill's left. Final questions from the mailbag here this one

1663
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 2: from Jim. Do you expect the Bills to sign Denver

1664
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:48,200
Speaker 2: Broncos free agent defenders to reduce the learning on the

1665
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 2: fly and have a few more coaching up opportunities at

1666
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 2: each position any potential targets. Yeah, I mean, I think

1667
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 2: John Franklin Myers, who's said to be a free agent,

1668
01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 2: would be a good fit. You know, a guy that obvious.

1669
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:03,679
Speaker 2: Jim Leonard knows well, having coached him the last couple

1670
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 2: of years, and I remember him with the Jets. He

1671
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 2: was a good player. He's an even better player in

1672
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 2: Denver's scheme, and they'd be playing the same scheme here,

1673
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 2: so he would just slide right into a role and go.

1674
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 3: One of their defensive tackles is.

1675
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 2: Available as well, So yeah, John Franklin Myers, Yeah, Yeah,

1676
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 2: is that the guy? Yeah?

1677
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 3: Yah, I thought there was another one as well. Yeah, yeah,

1678
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:26,520
Speaker 3: that's like absolutely available.

1679
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got Alex Singleton, the linebacker I mean, he's

1680
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 2: thirty three years old, but he still looks like you

1681
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 2: can run and hit. And I don't think he would

1682
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 2: cost you a ton because he is a little bit

1683
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 2: advanced in age, but I think he could be an

1684
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 2: option for you. Yeah, I could see that happening absolutely.

1685
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:48,640
Speaker 2: Next question comes from Jacob, who says, with the new

1686
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 2: offensive line coach, will any of these players we currently

1687
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 2: have be good slash not optimal fits for potential new

1688
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 2: blocking schemes.

1689
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 3: It looks as though the.

1690
01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:00,439
Speaker 2: Same techniques are going to be taught here because we

1691
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 2: heard Joe Brady say yesterday that Austin Gunned, assistant offensive

1692
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:06,759
Speaker 2: line coach is being retained who worked under coach Kromer

1693
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 2: who's now retired, and we saw reports of Pat Meyer

1694
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 2: being hired away from Pittsburgh. I don't think the team

1695
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 2: has confirmed that yet, but he too learned under Aaron Kromer.

1696
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 2: So it sounds as if a lot of things are

1697
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 2: going to be very similar going forward in terms of

1698
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 2: the blocking schemes of the offensive line, which I think

1699
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 2: makes sense because you're talking about the team that led

1700
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 2: the league in rushing, you know, and is probably a

1701
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 2: top three to five unit in the NFL. So if

1702
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 2: it's not broke, don't fix it kind of thing.

1703
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:41,839
Speaker 3: Right, Continuity is is a good thing on the offensive

1704
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 3: side of the ball, right, Yeah, This offense has functioned

1705
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 3: at a very high level for a lot of years.

1706
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,599
Speaker 3: Josh is a big part of that, and supporting him

1707
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 3: by not changing everything around, you know, in the scheme

1708
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 3: around him. Now the players are a different story. You're

1709
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 3: gonna have some of that, but I think with the

1710
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 3: wholesale changes that look like may happen on the defensive side,

1711
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 3: you want as much continentity on the offense site because

1712
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 3: you've got something's gonna hit the ground running. Yeah, you

1713
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 3: got to hit the ground running. You gotta have something

1714
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 3: you can hang your hat on to go and and

1715
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 3: win games.

1716
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,040
