Speaker 1: quality time with the family and getting like most people,

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: probably getting a lot of things done they would never

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: have been able to do, like out your storage clean

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: I throw away a bunch of stuff all those you know,

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: things that people would love to get to but never

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: have time. But we've had time. So but the part

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: it's just dropping me nuts is you can't really turn

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: the TV on without you know, bumming out that there's

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: no sports and that for me, I mean yeah to

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: a certain point now with baseball, but overall it's it's

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: I have to have sports amount a lifetime. But that's

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: just you know me, and I know that's a lot

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: of my friends. Well I know this too. One thing

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: I've got to ask you because all our listeners want

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: to know and everywhere I go I get asked about it.

31
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: How you feeling, Bud? I feel good. I can't complain.

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I have my next MRII

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: um next week, which is which is huge and um,

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: you know you always that little uh when it's done,

35
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: you you know, do the clean bill help that makes

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: you feel good and makes your family feel good and uh,

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: but we don't stop praying for health, not only for

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: for the people that would you know that every going

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: through some tough time. So right now I'm doing I'm

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: doing pretty good. Thank traft, Jim. I had so much

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: fun film and Captain Circle with you. And Kyle and

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: Michael Peca and Mike Felino. What was your takeaway from

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: that hour long conversation. I mean, you and Kyle and

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: the two players from the Sabers. There were some greats

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: on that call, and it was really cool to hear

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: about how leadership is so similar and also so different

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: at the same time from football to hockey. Yeah, that

48
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Um. I do remember the Folino course

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: back in the day, and of course Michael Pecca, the

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: fights with you know, Rob Ray and him and you

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: know some of the other Sabers. It was, it was

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I enjoyed. I learned a lot about those

53
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: two individuals. And you know, Um, when I spoke about Kyle,

54
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: I I mean I really took that to heart about

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Steve would agree with this, said, I

56
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: really have never heard a leader, a captain speak as

57
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: powerful than Kyle had before games, after games and really

58
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: trying to make sure that everybody knew where he was

59
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: coming from. Then, Kyle Williams, you use an amazing leader. Um,

60
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: he's property won the best I've ever heard speak after

61
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: a game. But it was it was a lot of fun,

62
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: that's for sure. We're talking to Hall of Fame quarterback

63
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly, and Jim, you keep your hand on the polls.

64
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're in the know about all this

65
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: football stuff that's going on. The negotiations. It looks like

66
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: they're going to get a deal that we're optimistic that

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: the final economic questions about the you know, the players

68
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: and the season and the salary cap and all that,

69
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: when they're all gonna get all that ironed out, what's

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: your gut feeling on what this season's gonna look like?

71
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: You know what? I a bumming an out a little

72
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: bit for me personally. And I don't know about you, Steve,

73
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: but you know, you know, back when I even played,

74
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: one of the first things I always did was look

75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: who we played away? And then you I mean, well,

76
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: we knew who we played away, but what time of year?

77
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: And I always knew that we would want to Miami

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins to come to Buffalo and you know, December, and

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: this year it's in January. And for me, now that

80
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't play the do travel some games with the Bills,

81
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: I thought about going to San Francisco and then take

82
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: a little vacation with the wife Napa Valley for a while,

83
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: and then you know, we played in Las Vegas, and

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: I thought about the head and there, maybe get the

85
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: casinos a little bit. I'm not a big gambler if

86
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: I lose you know, two to three hundred bucks ats

87
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: or a lot of buddy and then you know, your

88
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: typical Nashville. What we did last year as far as

89
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: team wise, we pretty much handered them to a certain point,

90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: beating them on the field, but off the field, the

91
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: Bill's ballfield was just out of control. They were awesome.

92
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean the ninety percent of all the bars and

93
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: everything were full of Buffalo billfing and so that in itself,

94
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people bumming frustrated that they

95
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: might not be able to go to those games, which

96
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: it does a little real good. And then you start

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, playing you think about the home games.

98
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: What an advantage is to have, you know, the eighty

99
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: seventy two thousand Buffler Bill crazy wackerdoodles that are cheering

100
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: you on and yelling when you post the team out

101
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: of the ball. But when you travel, you know, it's good.

102
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about some of the opponents

103
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: that really had to allow fans that you as a

104
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: quarterback would have to make sure your receivers as you

105
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: well know, Steve can hear your cadence or hear your

106
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: audibles and things like that. But it's not going to

107
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: be the same. But you know, whether it's home or away.

108
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: But those are couple advantages and disadvantage of I see

109
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: and probably more nats for the your typical fan that

110
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: enjoys taking their vacation to Miami a certain times a year.

111
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: So I don't know how it's going to happen, what

112
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. As with the players in training camp,

113
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: the players you know during regular season, if somebody all

114
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden gets sick, yeah you have to quarantinam down.

115
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: But how many guys on your team gets quarantineam with that?

116
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: So it's it's pretty crazy. It's sometimes all the stuff

117
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: that you hear, you know through the media now or

118
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: sometimes you think is are they just saying it to

119
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: be negative? And I don't want you want to get

120
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: into the political part of it, but you know, sometimes

121
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: you think that's really a bunch of whacker do it

122
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: was wanting to really make it look look bad as

123
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: the let's put yourself back in your playing days let's

124
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: let's let's pretend you're you're about to take the field

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, preparing for a season with the Buffalo Bills.

126
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: How would you approach a season like this? I mean,

127
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: what we know right now for this current team in

128
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: the NFL is that these guys are supposed to report

129
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: on July twenty eighth, if the NFLPA and the NFL

130
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: can come to agreement about finances. Right now now is

131
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: what they're trying to get straight. But once they get here,

132
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do fourteen straight days of testing,

133
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: and then if that positivity rate is below five percent,

134
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: they're going to move to every other day. I mean,

135
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be social distancing inside the facilities. Workouts are

136
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: going to look different. I mean, meetings are going to

137
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: look different. Practices are probably going to look different. How

138
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: would you approach this from a player's perspective? Just about

139
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: probably everything you're trying to figure out mentally before you

140
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: hit the field and can really work on your craft. Well, Maddie,

141
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: if you say the way you just said it, you'd

142
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: be going crazy. Me as a player, what I would

143
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: do is just pretty much played by ear. Whatever happens happened,

144
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: But you're still gonna have to, you know, do your workouts.

145
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna still have to throw to you to receivers.

146
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: You're still haven't gonna have to do the same thing

147
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: you've been doing since you became a football player and

148
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: work out, keep working on your craft, keep working with

149
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: the receivers. You know, the lineman will do what they

150
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: have to do. But me personally, yeah, it's one of

151
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: those things. It is what it is. We're only one team.

152
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: There's thirty one other teams. You have to do the

153
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: same thing. Try to figure it out. If the thing

154
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: is to try to keep it as normal as you can,

155
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: even though it probably you know of course it won't be.

156
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: But the thing is, you got worked on your craft.

157
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: You got to be able to do what those things

158
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: that you do to make your team better. So again

159
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: you don't know even now you do not know what's

160
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: going to happen. But the thing is, you don't worry

161
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: about it. If you keep worrying about keep talking about it,

162
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: and that's when it starts to really, I feel, start

163
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: to really work on your mental part of the game.

164
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: So you try to keep everything as normal as possible,

165
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: and you keep working on what you have to work

166
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: on as far as your craft, and not worry about

167
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: other guys because you know that they're going to be

168
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: doing the same team because this is their job, this

169
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: is their livelio especially the way they pay players. Now,

170
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: you know what, these are things that you're doing now

171
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: to prepare you for when you retire and being able

172
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: to take care of your family and do things like that.

173
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: So right now, I'm just you know, doing what I

174
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: have to do. And uh, you know, it might be

175
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: a little different for new coaches out there, or guy

176
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: loves Stefan Diggs coming in with Josh and I'll being

177
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: able to work out with him as much as he

178
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: probably you would like. But once they do get together,

179
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be working probably. You know. It was harder

180
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: they ever to have. And you know, if it is,

181
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: as I said before, they try to make sure that

182
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page. When you have the time

183
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: to work on your track, that you do it. We're

184
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: on the line with Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly

185
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: uh here on One Bill's Live. Jim, you and I

186
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: live five minutes apart. Uh You live here in Western

187
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: New York, so do I. We We watched this team closely.

188
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: We're huge fans of the team. We like you, and

189
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: we like everything that's going on. Over at one Bill's Drive.

190
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about this roster, these guys. They

191
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: put together a really solid roster. It seems more importantly, Jim,

192
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: it seems sustainable. They need to keep it. They seems

193
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: like they're gonna be able to keep this going, this

194
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: program that they've got going on. What do you think

195
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: about how good this team could be this year? You know,

196
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: if they get Josh Norman comes in and becomes a

197
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: guy that is just as good or almost as good

198
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: as Tradavious White. On the other corner, you've got Stefan

199
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: Diggs coming in to add some depth, and you've got

200
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: another step we all anticipate Josh Allen. You know, Josh

201
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: gonna take another step forward this year if he if

202
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: he has the same step he did, he's gonna complete

203
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: sixty five percent of his passes. His touchdown interception ratio

204
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: is going to be three to one. And that's just

205
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: if he takes another step the way he did last year.

206
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this team this year? I

207
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: I love it, I mean as excited I you know,

208
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: that's probably the way to look at it. I have

209
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: not been this excited about our ball club a year, Jag.

210
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: You always are optimistic, do you look at it? And

211
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: as you all know, Steve, the key is all the

212
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: main guys that they brought into people they've had here,

213
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: the start players, the ones that do make a difference

214
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: every Sunday by keeping them healthy is probably the main

215
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: thing I remember, and I know I've said just before,

216
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: and I know you remember this also, Steve, is when

217
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: we took the big steps, when James Lofton came in, became,

218
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, part of our roster and part of what

219
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: we were looking to do is move one step forward.

220
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: And when he came as almost like dates coming in,

221
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: we already had guys, even though you were pretty much

222
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: to me one of the best receivers we had. But

223
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: we had Andrea, we had Baby, We added James loft

224
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: we had Billy Brooks. We had some good players. But

225
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: until we got lost into the outside to go with

226
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: Baby on the other side and Andrea in the middle,

227
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't think we were a complete team. And I

228
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: think what they have now, if they can keep everybody

229
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: healthy and they can work on making sure that you

230
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: know they understand what each other's you know, thinking, I

231
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be at the football team on offense

232
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: and defense. Oh, you can hit right on Steve mcnorman,

233
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: and you know White on the other side, that those

234
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: guys can be shut down corners, you know, those guys

235
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: that we have upfront, you know, with that Oliver you

236
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: know in guys, I feel, you know, Harrison Phillips are

237
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: healthy now coming in. I think we should have a

238
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: head of a football team. I'm looking forward to it,

239
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, it looks like early on we're gonna be

240
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: able to watch any holds in person, but we still

241
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: have the TV to watch and listen to some of

242
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: the commentators. And I know that you know all the

243
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: time when I listen to you and the murph M.

244
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: I used to love it because you guys knew what

245
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: you were talking about. I've got to get you involved

246
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: in our Twitter question that we have going on today.

247
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: So so we're thinking if the unexpected happens, the season

248
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: is going on during a pandemic, and let's say one

249
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: of these guys test positive, or there's not enough enough

250
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: players on one side of the ball, so you have

251
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: to to put a defensive player on offense or an

252
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: offensive player on defense. So if this were to happen,

253
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: which Bill's player could play on the other side of

254
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: the ball in what position would they play? I was

255
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: thinking Trey White would be a great wide receiver and

256
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox would be a great linebacker. Who would you,

257
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: uh say, would be good at flipping size of a ball?

258
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: And why, well, I guess you really look at on

259
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: the wide receiver spot, you'd have to put, of course,

260
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: a defensive back room vice first wide receivers dB. I

261
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: think it'd be a lot easier for dB being a

262
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver than the wide receiver being the dB. And

263
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: uh a linebacker. I would probably look at, you know,

264
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: putting some type of linebacker as a tight end, like

265
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: you pretty much said, And uh, I don't, I don't

266
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: know if there's a running back could play the linebackers.

267
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: I know rnning backs usually, don't you know at times?

268
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, there's allose exceptions to the role.

269
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: They'd like to avoid to tackle instead of, you know,

270
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: try and run somebody over, So that in itself would

271
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: be kind of I'm not sure if it could do it.

272
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips as the heck of an athlete, maybe putting

273
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: him at a tight end, maybe on the goal line,

274
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: but other than that, you'd have to definitely keep your

275
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: linebackers being tight end tight end linebacker. And I'm sure

276
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: most people would agree with that that the defensive backed

277
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: could definitely be easier as a wide receiver, and I

278
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: don't think a wide receiver should be as um as

279
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: easy to switch over to play a dB. Then vice person.

280
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: There's also something going on, Jim that the New Era

281
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: had company asked out of their naming rights of the stadium.

282
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: We had this thing where we're gonna get a go

283
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: fund me page going by the bills Mafia to come

284
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: up with their own name. Maybe it made me maybe

285
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: name it built in the Mafia Park or something like that.

286
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: Name the field bad? What you got any thoughts? What

287
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: would you what would you name? What would you name

288
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: the field? Oh? My, put me on a spot. Now

289
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: I have no clue, do you know what. I've always

290
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: loved the Realm. I don't know why, but I've all

291
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: loved that name. When when you know, after they you know,

292
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: mister Wilson died, they started calling the Ralph And every

293
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: time I heard people say, I go, I love that

294
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: name there, Ralph. I mean it goes to show you know,

295
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: he's been here. He's the one that founded it. And

296
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how you know, Tim and Terry feel

297
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: about that, but I'm sure it probably won't. But I

298
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: know they loved him. They all got along very well. Um,

299
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: the Bills Mafia Stadium, That's that sounds crazy, but I

300
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't argue with it. Um, it's better than Cone it. Uh,

301
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: what's the Washington Football Club or something? Right exactly? Oh boy, No,

302
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: we don't need to Buffalo Bills football team. How that? Uh,

303
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: I like to build Clafia. But I've always loved the

304
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: ralte that names. Um. So it's it's bad that it's

305
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: sad that new error is going to come off because

306
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm very close with a lot of guys who worked

307
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: on down there day. Viking Turn I can that's just

308
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: the name one is you well know him, also Steve,

309
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, it's it's a SAT day. But you know,

310
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: just to twenty twenty, there's so many things going on

311
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: in our country, in our world that you know, it's

312
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: definitely have trained everything. I've got to take you back

313
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: to our current roster of this team. We've talked about

314
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: it a lot. This week the Bills. ESPN released an

315
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: article and the Bills aren't the number one team to

316
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: return snaps this season, they return the most snaps out

317
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: of any other NFL team. Number two is the Kansas

318
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. The Bills have eighty eight percent of their

319
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: snaps returning. They return all of their coordinators. How important

320
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: do you think continuity is this season? In an off

321
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: season where all mini camps were canceled and we're not

322
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: really sure what training camp is going to look like?

323
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: So how important is it that most of the squad

324
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: is coming back for this season? Oh? I love it.

325
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things when I talked to

326
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady before, and we're good friends, and he's number one.

327
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: That's twenty said, the continuity being able to have the

328
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: same coaches year after year, being never never changed the

329
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: offensive system. Because for a quarterback to change a system

330
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: year after year after year. You look at the guys

331
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: like Ryan Fitzpatrick, how many times he's had to change,

332
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: you know and try to, you know, do a different system.

333
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: And I think it's huge's going only for the quarterback,

334
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: but for the whole team to be able to have

335
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: the same coaches, the same players, being able to know, um,

336
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, what each other's thinking, especially from the quarterback,

337
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers point, and you know, having a center and

338
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: having the two guards on both sides and the same

339
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: guys that you're able to communicate offensively and defense, being

340
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: able to do things that you know you're typically uh,

341
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: you know won't be able to do when you have

342
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: year after year you make some changes. So I think

343
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: it's huge. I think we lost Jim for a second.

344
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: It sounded like that we just lost him from any

345
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: probably walking around his house. Jim Kelly on the line

346
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: with us. We've been talking to him that we're asking

347
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: him about the Bills, the current Bills, and the current

348
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: state of the National Football League. Were also had him

349
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: on to talk about episode two of Captain's Circle's going

350
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: to be presented by labat Blue Light. He's gonna be

351
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: on the second installment of that this Sunday with Mike Pecka,

352
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: Mike Folino and also Kyle Williams and Jim is back

353
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: on with A Jim Before we go in, we talked

354
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: about continuity of the team and the thing that strikes

355
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: me about this. I mentioned it right at the top

356
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: of the interview that this does seem sustainable, but it

357
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: only seems sustainable if you can keep the key people

358
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: in place. Certainly Sean McDermott, Brandon Bean are in line

359
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: for an extension. When that time comes, You've got Tredavious

360
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: White in line. Josh Allen, Tremaine Edmonds. One of the

361
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: things about the teams that you were on and you

362
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: were such, you know, you had your Hall of Fame

363
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: career with, was continuity. We were at the end of

364
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: no free agency era and at the beginning of free agency.

365
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: How difficult do you think it's going to be in

366
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: this day and age to keep the Buffalo bill sustainably

367
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: competitive while you're gonna have to have guys like you know,

368
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 1: I remember them talking a lot about how Tom Brady

369
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: did never took a contract that what made him the

370
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: highest paid, even though he had definitely deserved it. Well,

371
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: when you're looking at guy like Patrick from My Homes

372
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: and all the money he made, that takes away from

373
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: some of the other guys who might be able to sign.

374
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be difficult. Where the money's

375
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: going now is just crazy. Um, it's not to say

376
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: they don't earn it and don't deserve it. I think

377
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: they do, but it makes it harder to sign taught players.

378
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: They in order for you to have a team that

379
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, competes for that championship every year, you've got

380
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: to keep your star players. But not all the time.

381
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: You're able to do that because of paying the you know,

382
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: the guys of quarterbacks and wide receivers, the defensive bats,

383
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: a pass rush, guys that make a huge difference on

384
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: your football team. It's hard to keep all the guys around.

385
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: So um, you don't have to give it a little

386
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: give and take. But I know agents out there, they

387
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. They want to get there.

388
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: They their players, but they should get because they know

389
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: that if they get their players so much, that so

390
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: much is going in their pocket too. So um, it's

391
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: gonna be tough, but you'll have to find ways of

392
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: working around that. And Brandon bean O you has done

393
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: an unbelievable job being able to do that so far.

394
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: But again, Josh Is, his contracts can be coming up.

395
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: Whether you give them an extension this year is very

396
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: pivotal for him on where he goes from here. I

397
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: have all the conference in the world, and Josh I

398
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: think that he's ready to take that next step forward.

399
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: So um time will already tell, as we all know,

400
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: but I know it's something to be as easy as

401
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: people think it is. Jim, thanks so much for taking sometime.

402
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: It's great talking to you and I'm so glad to

403
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: hear you doing well. And I'm glad I can't wait

404
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: to see you on episode two of Captain Circle coming

405
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,600
