1
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: player for state. Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: the strated fere of normalcy. We're rocking and rolling on

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: a Thursday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as the

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: Bills are out on the practice field for what will

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: be their final training camp practice. It all flips to

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: official regular season stuff after this, as we close in

9
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: on the season opener against the Jets in Week one

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: next week. So it's it's getting down to the nitty

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: gritty here, Steve, and obviously a whole lot of roster

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: decisions to be made between now and Saturday, and the

13
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Bills with the transaction today as well, this is usually

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: the busiest transit the calendar year. They're they're adding, that's right.

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: But they signed back undrafted rookie running back Antonio Williams,

16
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: who was a player I liked a lot, not necessarily

17
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: maybe for this year's fifty three man roster, but someone

18
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: that I thought that they could certainly develop after watching

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: some of his college tape. He was released early in

20
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: the training camp calendar, but they have brought him back

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: and you know some people might be saying, well, what

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: does this mean? Why are they bringing him back? I

23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: think this is a player that they feel they can

24
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: work with develop. I would anticipate him being on the

25
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: practice squad for this football team in some way, shape

26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: or form. And I think that the personnel department, as

27
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: well as the coaching staff, is looking at the roster

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: and the practice squad through a completely different lens amidst COVID.

29
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: And you could have any given week where if any

30
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: one of your position groups gets struck down by a

31
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: COVID outbreak, right, you're gonna need people that know your system,

32
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: know your scheme, that you can plug in immediately. There

33
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: is a very real possibility that somewhere in this league

34
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: a position group is going to get struck by COVID.

35
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna test positive on a Friday, they may not

36
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: be able to get on the field by Sunday, and

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: a guy on the practice squad who's who no one's

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: ever heard of, let alone scene on a football field

39
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL starting on a Sunday. There's a good

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: chance that's going to happen somewhere across the league at

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: some point, and it'll be somebody like Antonio Williams who

42
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: was with him in camp, knows their system, knows the words,

43
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: and at least has a relationship and knows everybody's names

44
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: in the huddle and has been in camp with you.

45
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: That's that's the optimum. We've seen it at other of

46
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: the times. It's not like this is out of the

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: realm of possibility where guys, you know, you got teams

48
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: where three corners go down. You got a guy that

49
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: was you know, showed up on a Wednesday or showed

50
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: up on a Friday and just got to play. Think

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: about think about what they had to do. In twenty eighteen,

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: a quarterback, right, Josh Allen gets hurt. I mean Derek

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: Anderson came in what do you have? Four days and

54
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: he was starting the next week. It was like, holy cow,

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: Heierman was in the concussion protocol. Yeah, it happens. So

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: it's not unbelievably different. But this year, given the fact

57
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: that everything has expanded, the practice squad has expanding. They

58
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: got four guys they can protect week to week on

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: the practice squad, plus twelve other guys. Yeah and the

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: fifty three, So yeah, they need all the bodies they

61
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: can get it, and it's gonna be a year where

62
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna make sure they've got people on a short

63
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: list of guys who know their system, or at least

64
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: as many as they can know their system. I wonder

65
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be We talked about this as well.

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: I know, I just know the New York Jets are

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: gonna scalp our cut wait wire, not only the Bills,

68
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: probably a whole lot of other Jets who well, I

69
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: think the Jets will do it for the Bills trying

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: to get an edge on Week one. I mean, Mohammed

71
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: Sanu just got released in New England, right and he

72
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: played his college ball at Rutgers right down the street

73
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: from where the Jets train and everything. Not that that's

74
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: necessarily a factor, but they're a team that is desperate

75
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: to upgrade their wide receiving corps amidst some injuries, although

76
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Denzel Mims has come back, but they're not exactly the

77
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: deepest position group on that roster. They're gonna be mining

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: for players that they think can help them. And you know,

79
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: I already saw some social media snark he got cut.

80
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: Somebody was I think it was Bradley Gelbert, who was

81
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: a popular Bill social media tweeter, and he said, so,

82
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: I guess Trey White will be covering Sanou in week one, right,

83
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of everybody. It's it's well

84
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: documented everybody is anticipating the Jets to be active in

85
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: picking up receivers that gave clipped this weekend. It seems

86
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: interesting to me, certainly if the Jets sign him, it'll

87
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: be no surprise signed Muhammad Sanou. It's more interesting to

88
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: me that the Jets cut I mean, the Patriots cut him. Yeah,

89
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: you know it. I don't know. It was weird because

90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: they executed the trade with the Falcons last year. He

91
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: comes in, I think he plays one game and then

92
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: has a bad ankle injury, like really bad. I think

93
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: he had surgery at the end of the season, and

94
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: so it just it never materialized. And I don't know

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: what happened through the course of training camp, but evidently

96
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: there was no on field chemistry between him and Cam Newton.

97
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: Somebody decided it wasn't going to work, and it was

98
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: probably Bill Belichick and said, yeah, we're done here. It

99
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: could also speak to some of the young up and

100
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: coming wideouts on that roster. You know, Nikil Harry who

101
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: was their draft choice a little over a year ago.

102
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 1: So there are other elements there that could have contributed

103
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: to this decision. And you know where it goes. I

104
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: don't know, but I think Snow will find a home

105
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: somewhere at some point. And as I said, this is

106
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: the busiest transaction week of the year in the NFL,

107
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: not only because of all the players that are getting cut,

108
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: but because some of those players that are released are

109
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: looking for new homes, and a lot of times teams

110
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: are interested in adding those players if they have a

111
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: shortage somewhere, either due to injury or just simply because

112
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: they don't have good players, or maybe something that they

113
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: thought would pan out and a player might develop and

114
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: step into a role failed to do so, and now

115
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: they suddenly have a hole somewhere that they have to

116
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: fill as they enter the regular season. So that is

117
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: why there's gonna this is the most roster shuffling you're

118
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: going to see in terms of subtraction and addition in

119
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: all points in all cities of the NFL. And you know,

120
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and coach McDermott earlier this week when he

121
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: was on with the media said these are these are

122
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: gonna be tough decisions. I think for coaches is a

123
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: tough decision every year. You hate to end a relationship

124
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: with a player that's you know, busted is but on

125
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: your roster and you just don't have room for him.

126
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: And the competition level is so high that even though

127
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: you have a player there that's capable of playing in

128
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: this league, the other people you have are just a

129
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: little bit better than him, and you're gonna keep what's

130
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: best for the team. Well, it's also tough for coaches

131
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: because they invest themselves into these guys. They're trying to

132
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: get these guys better, and they put, they personally put

133
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: their own effort, especially with the environment that we see

134
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: at work here, that's particularly here when they're trying to

135
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: develop these guys, and that that may be what Antonio

136
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: Williams is about. They might have said, you know, if

137
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: something they ready, stay ready, we're gonna release you. Now,

138
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna look at these guys, but if we get

139
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: a chance to bring you back and put you on

140
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: the practice squad or whatever. Which is this is interesting

141
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 1: to me that they signed him today and just either

142
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: to release him or to help them with their fifty three.

143
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Probably not but certainly practice squad. But why bring him

144
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: in now? Why not just wait until Saturday and then

145
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: bring him back to the practice quard That that that's

146
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: the interesting signing to me, and that there might have been.

147
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: It might have been that Antonio Williams told him said, listen,

148
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm getting the calls from Team A, Team B and

149
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: Team C, and the Bill said, we'll bring you back.

150
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: Certainly possible. And let's not get too that there is

151
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: a testing procedure once you want to re enter somebody

152
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: onto your roster with COVID where you know you've got

153
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: a test negative and go through all of those process two,

154
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: which delays the process they might have wanted. Who knows,

155
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: they may have wanted to bring Antonio Williams back last

156
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: week and due to whatever restrictions there might be. Maybe

157
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: he's back home in North Carolina, which might still be

158
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: a state that requires a quarantine or you know, and

159
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: he's got to pass. He's got to get through that,

160
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: then he tests, then he tests again. Yeah, but we're

161
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: talking the time he's ever. It might be if they

162
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: want him ready for Monday. So listen, we got game

163
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: week and we need you here, your scout team back

164
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: scout team. Guy, you're gonna be in here and we're

165
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to start handing you the football and teaching

166
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: you the teaching our words. Again. Uh, that may be

167
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 1: as important as anything, the fact that it's going to

168
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: be week one, game week and they need a guy

169
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: to carry the rock and practice. Certainly, that doesn't put

170
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: him automatically on the fifty three, but it does get

171
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: him in the system and in the door in the

172
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: building so he can take part other transactions going on.

173
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: I'm sure most NFL fans that have kept their ear

174
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: to the ground have seen by now that Leonard Fournette

175
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: has found a home. He's just going across the state

176
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: from Jacksonville to Tampa, as he signed a one year

177
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: deal for three and a half million dollars to sign

178
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: on with the Bucks. I saw Bruce Arians talking to

179
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: the media today and they asked him about what Fournet's

180
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: role would be, and he said, look, we'll figure that

181
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: out in due course. But what we're focused on is

182
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: anytime you get to add a high caliber running back

183
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: to your roster, no matter how many you already have,

184
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: you're going to add him. At least that's their philosophy

185
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: and so they did. So Now that running back stable

186
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: looks pretty good for the Bucks because you have Ronald

187
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: Jones as the starter and then Lashawn McCoy, who is

188
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: expected to be their third down back this year, and

189
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: I think, well, probably if he gets the playing time

190
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: that's anticipated, may have a James White kind of season.

191
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, remember James White, you know who's still in

192
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: New England now, but you know he'd catch sixty balls

193
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: a season up there in New England on those flare

194
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: passes or the swing passes and stuff. And I could

195
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: see Lashawn McCoy doing that really well for that team

196
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: this season. So it looks like those roles are established

197
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: and then Fournett's just gonna have to find a way

198
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: to blend in. I'll bet yeah, I'll bet Fournett's there

199
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: because Shady's not gonna be Really do you think McCoy's

200
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna get clipped? Yeah, he might. I mean, they they're

201
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: bringing some guys, and I'm certainly the guy they've got,

202
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: Rojo they call him, is Ronald Jones. Ronald Jones is

203
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: the guy, and it's getting Shady didn't give anything on

204
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: special teams. It just Fournette. I don't think right, So

205
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have one that if you can't have two,

206
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: that don't Well, wouldn't you argue that McCoy is more

207
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: versatile a player than for Fournette is I mean Fournett's

208
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: is between the tackles guy. He really doesn't factor into

209
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: the passing game at all. I would say that McCoy

210
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: at least offers you more on the offensive side of

211
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: the ball, makes you a little more unpredictable Fournettes in

212
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: the game. It's a run. I think it's skill set,

213
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: no question. I wouldn't. I wouldn't say that Fournette can't catch.

214
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: I would say he's not a space player though. No,

215
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though. The guy's a different skill

216
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: set the McCoy, there's no question about that. Uh. And

217
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: he is a he's a first, second down back. Uh. Yeah.

218
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: I think McCoy stays is the third down guy. I

219
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: think that's his role this year. Um, I don't know,

220
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: I could see that happening. I'm I'm I'm thinking Fournett's

221
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: two talented and such a big back with speed. I mean,

222
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: I've seen the guy. I saw the guy play his

223
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: rookie year when the Jacksonville had that run to the

224
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: championship game. That guy was the That guy was a beast.

225
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean he was. He was a He was an

226
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: absolute force. If he can if he can regain that,

227
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: he's going to be on the field for the back.

228
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: And that's the problem. And that was the knock on

229
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: him coming out of college. As talented as he was.

230
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: There were a ton of miles on the tires because

231
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: he got a lot of work at LSU, and then

232
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: he got a lot of work his first couple of

233
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: years in Jacksonville, and injuries started cropping up. And for

234
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: a bit guy who takes a lot of those hits,

235
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: And we don't know Leonard Fournette as a player and

236
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: his work ethic and his dedication. How much preventative maintenance

237
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: does this guy? Do? You know? Is he in the

238
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: treatment room doing preventative maintenance all the time. How does

239
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: he handle all that kind of stuff or does he

240
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: just roll out on Sunday and say it, let's go,

241
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like that kind of thing.

242
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: We don't know what his makeup is in terms of

243
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: keeping himself healthy and taking care of his body, and

244
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: in a league like this, as we talked about almost

245
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: the entire show yesterday, Steve. It is a high risk

246
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: injury position just by virtue of the beating you take

247
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: at that spot. And he's not a guy that's making

248
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: people miss. He's running people over and taking hits. He's

249
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: out of Jacksonville for some reason. Yeah, it ain't. It

250
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: ain't because he's not a good player. I say eight,

251
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: it's not because he's not a good player. So there's

252
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: something going on there that either it's his personality or

253
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: his relationship with the coaches or his teammates. For some reason,

254
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: he's out of favor in Jacksonville and he's gone. And

255
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: I thought that I've seen the guy. He can play.

256
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Now they may be going in a completely different direction

257
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: offensively in Jacksonville. Maybe they want a guy like a

258
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy or somebody like or Devin Singletary or somebody,

259
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: or an Alvin Kamara kind of guy. But Alvin Kamara

260
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: can play, and the Bucks are probably know exactly what

261
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: kind of player he is. Now, the question is why

262
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: did you know? If it's not a philosophical change, why

263
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: is he out of Jacksonville And is he gonna be

264
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: able to fit in with the Bucks? Yeah, heart is

265
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: hard to know from our vantage point, but it's certainly

266
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: gonna bear watching to see how they deploy those backs

267
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: in Tampa, not to mention the fact that they've got

268
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: oodles of pass receiving talent on that roster as well

269
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: at both wide receiver and tight end. I know the

270
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Bills get teased sometimes for all of the players that

271
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: they've plucked out of the Carolina club over the years

272
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: since basically Sean Determot and Brandon Being got here. But

273
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: it looks like a similar pipeline is developing between the

274
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans and New England. Detroit's done it with Matt

275
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Patricia there, as you would understand, Brian Flores has done

276
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: an in Miami with some free agent signees that he

277
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: had a land in Roberts and Kyle van Noy among them.

278
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: You look up in Detroit, they've done the same thing,

279
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: Lawrence Guy and then they just got Jamie Collins in

280
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: the off season from New England. Well, now Tennessee's doing

281
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: the same thing. Mike Vrabel obviously the head coach there

282
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: and played in New England for a long time with

283
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: a lot of those players. They just added Stephen Gastowski

284
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: to their roster, the kicker who the Patriots moved on

285
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,119
Speaker 1: from at the end of the season, and they essentially

286
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: moved on from the kicker that they had on their roster,

287
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: who by all accounts had a good preseason. I don't

288
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: even know what we can call it, that had a

289
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: good training camp. But it looks like they're going with

290
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old kicker in Gastowski as he

291
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: will be kicking for them, and he's a University of

292
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: Memphis grad also, and he lives in the Nashville area,

293
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: so it made sense to him. I mean, he's happy

294
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: to have an NFL job again, obviously, and to do

295
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: it at home is even better. And then finally, I

296
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: feel for this guy, man, Josh Rosen is being shopped

297
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: again by the Dolphins. You know, I think it's it's

298
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: pretty evident that there's a certain direction they're going. A

299
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: quarterback fits is going to start to begin the year,

300
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: and to Otaga Voloa is going to be the air

301
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: apparent at some point in time, and that leaves Josh

302
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: Rosen without a seat at the table yet again. So

303
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: this guy has made the tenth pick in the draft

304
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: by Arizona in twenty eighteen. He plays for a season

305
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: behind a line that I mean, they couldn't block a pylon.

306
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, that offense went nowhere, to the point

307
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: where the offensive coordinator was fired after two weeks and

308
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: the coach was a one and done Steve Wilkes out

309
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: there in Arizona. They get a new coaching staff. We

310
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: know what happened after that. They draft Kyler Murray first overall,

311
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: and Josh Rosen has shipped down to Miami. And now

312
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: a year later, the same exact thing has happened. The

313
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,359
Speaker 1: Dolphins draft a quarterback in the top five with Tua,

314
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: and now he's on the outs again, so they are

315
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: openly shopping him. Would you have any interest in Josh Rosen?

316
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's seen enough of Josh Josh

317
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: Rosen at the NFL level to really know what he is. Yeah,

318
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: seeing him practice, to take a flyer on that guy,

319
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: I think he's only I think he's a quarterback that

320
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: is built for only specific systems, like a West Coast system.

321
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: I think he'd be a perfect fit for a system

322
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: like that. There are no question there are places he

323
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: would fit better than others. But you're right, if I

324
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: saw him practice to be the most I've seen him play. Yeah,

325
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: so what do you know about him? Certainly there's a

326
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: reason why he is not. He's been starting to be

327
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: passed around. I think one of the problems with him

328
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: coming out of UCLA was that his intangibles weren't there.

329
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: He wasn't like this great leader guys rallied around. But

330
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: he did run a pro offense at UCLA, and he

331
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: ran it pretty well. He was efficient quarterback, he had

332
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: a nice completion percentage, he didn't turn it over. He

333
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: was a he was a real legit obviously a top

334
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: ten pick, legit pros prospect. He was pro ready, was

335
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: the word, maybe more so than anybody else in the

336
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: in the draft, and went tenth overall, but he was

337
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: the fourth guy taken right, So there were some issues,

338
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: and I think one of the issues was just his personality.

339
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: People are gonna rally around this, Yeah, they don't rally

340
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: around Not not to say that guy's a bad guy,

341
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: he's just he's just not one of those guys that

342
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: is magnetic, you know, so not a magnetic person. So

343
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: that's one of the assumption to make. So that's one

344
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: of the reasons that you know that guy has got

345
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: to be a guy when something happens, all the heads

346
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: turned towards him and he's ready for it. He reminds

347
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: me a little bit of Aaron Rodgers in terms of personality,

348
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: like that, you know, a guy that's not buddy buddy

349
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: locker room, you know, giving you a chicken wing or something,

350
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: yea man you know or whatever. It's not a not

351
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: a bros bro. I guess just like, hey, I'm good,

352
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: let's go. Like that's Aaron Rodgers, you know what I mean.

353
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: Like he's not going to be you know, going over

354
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: to his teammates house for dinner and you know, three

355
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: nights a week and doing that kind of thing. He's

356
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: just going to show up at practice and say, hey,

357
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: are we ready to go? Because I'm coming to you,

358
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm you know, I don't want to

359
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: say he's like an ego maniac or anything, but he's

360
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: pretty confident in what he can do. And I understand why.

361
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: But that's a different kind of leadership style, and I

362
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: think it's harder to wrap your head around how effective

363
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: that can be for your team than a personality like

364
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I mean, magnetic personality. Everybody on the roster

365
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: loves him, offense, defense, special teams. You know, everybody in

366
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: this building loves the guy because he's just that magnetic personality.

367
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: People are drawn to him, so it's easy to assess

368
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: how that guy can be a leader for your team.

369
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: I think it's a much more difficult read on a

370
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: player like Josh Allen, Josh Rosen. And I'm not saying

371
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: that scares people off, but it makes the EVL and

372
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: the projection harder, especially when it's hard enough to project

373
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks abilities to the NFL. Now you have a

374
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: personality thing that you want to figure out too, because

375
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: it's a little difficult to discern. I think that works

376
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: against him and it's probably why he's going to be

377
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: on his third team in three years. Yeah, it's a

378
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: it's a tough one. It's a tough one, that's uh.

379
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: And and they're looking to trade him, right, I mean

380
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: they're not looking Oh yeah, they're they're looking to shop him. Now,

381
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: shop him around. But team, maybe I don't know what

382
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: you're getting this weekend. Point this weekend, people are gonna

383
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: sit tight. Yeah, I don't know what you're getting because

384
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: age at this point, you know, I really don't there,

385
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of quarterbacks out there that are going

386
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: to be on the market because every team's got the

387
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: extra guys, and that's kind of where you're sitting. And

388
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: I think he will get scooped up if he ultimately

389
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: just gets released by the Dolphins. It's it's kind of

390
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: I got to look back and see what they gave

391
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: up because I don't remember off the top of my head.

392
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: I want to say it was a middle round pick,

393
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: but not certain. But yeah. So a lot going on

394
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: around the NFL in terms of player transactions and roster movement,

395
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: so we'll try to stay on top of that for

396
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: you through the course of the show today. We do

397
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: have a lot to get to today, and it'll begin

398
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: with some comments from John Brown and Saran Neil, who

399
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: addressed the media yesterday and had some good things to say.

400
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: We'll get to that at the bottom of the hour.

401
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: We also will hear from Josh Allen in the one

402
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, just finished addressing the media today and we'll

403
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: get some of his comments as well. As we are

404
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: less than a week now or a week one am

405
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: I saying we're ten days away from the opener, so

406
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: we'll get his thoughts on how things are coming together

407
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: as camp is wrapping up and they really kind of

408
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: shift full gear into Week one Jets preparation. So we'll

409
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: get some comments from him, and then in addition to that,

410
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: we're going to be covering some other ground with the

411
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: Twitter poll as we look ahead to the regular season.

412
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: We've heard all the prognostications, most of them good, occasionally

413
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: some not so good. Connor or Buffalo. We mentioned it

414
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 1: briefly on the show yesterday. He picked the Bills goes

415
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: seven and nine, and as the Dolphins finishing ahead of

416
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: them at eight and eight, and the Patriots winning the

417
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: division again at ten and six, which, you know, there's

418
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: a couple of things that I just don't see happening there.

419
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: So that's his opinion and he's entitled to it. I

420
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: just think he's a little bit off the mark there,

421
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: but that's neither here nor there. What we wanted to

422
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: just wanted to discuss with you today is, you know,

423
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: there are a lot of expectations as to what will happen.

424
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 1: For example, you know Stefan Diggs is going to be

425
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: a dynamic addition to the passing game that you know

426
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: that receiving corps is really going to take off this year.

427
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: I think those are things that are expected. The secondary

428
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: is going to be lights out, as they have been

429
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: each of the last two years as a top top

430
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: three pass defense. I think these are things that are

431
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: expected to happen this season for the Bills in twenty twenty,

432
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: what we want from you is what element of this

433
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: year's Bills team do you think will surprise nicest people

434
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: the most. And we do have some choices for you

435
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: on the Twitter poll at one Bill's Live, so be

436
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: sure to check that out. I'll list the choices now.

437
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: A is defensive line sack production. B is Josh Allen's accuracy,

438
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: the third one is run game dominance, and then we

439
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: leave it open to you with our world famous other

440
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: for D as the choice there. And I know the

441
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: early returns were very positive with respect to Josh Allen's accuracy,

442
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: as he's getting more than two thirds of the vote

443
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: here in the early going. And while I don't dispute that,

444
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: I think he will be better with his accuracy, I

445
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: think there are some sneaky categories here that that could

446
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: be the true surprise once we get an even bigger

447
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: surprise than Josh's accuracy by the time we get through

448
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: this twenty twenty season. So I don't know where you

449
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: come down on it, Steve, But for me, I think

450
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: there's a very real chance that this defensive line is

451
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: up amongst the league leaders in terms of sack production,

452
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: which really hasn't happened since Mike Petton was the defensive

453
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: coordinator for this team, right when he had Mario Williams,

454
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams, Marcel Darius and Jerry Hughes and they had

455
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: fifty four sacks one year, finished second in the league

456
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: to Carolina when coach Mederamot was coaching down there, and

457
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: then the next year they had fifty seven sacks and

458
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: that was the last time that they really flirted with

459
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: among the league leaders with quarterback takedowns. I'm kind of

460
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: in that category. I think that could very well happen

461
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: this year because I just think this defensive line is

462
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: loaded for Bear. I think so too. I think they're

463
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: going to be better than they were a year ago.

464
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna help, and it's going to really

465
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: help that they've got a good secondary behind him. The

466
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: quarterback if he has to pack the ball one extra

467
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: time enough they may get home, and they may do it,

468
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: and they may do it with just four guys. We've

469
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: seen the Bills, you know, come with some pretty exotic stuff,

470
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: and no question, every team does it. But if you

471
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: can consistently get home on time with four guys, or

472
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: in fact, they're quick with four guys, that's that's an

473
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: impossible team to beat because you've got real issues. And

474
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: if they can do that against more than a handful

475
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: of team, I'm not saying they can do it every

476
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: single week, but if you can get a handful of teams,

477
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: those are games you're gonna win just because of that.

478
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: And we should mention the Bills were no slouches last year.

479
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: In terms of sack percentage, they were tenth in the

480
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: league if memory serves. In sack percentage, I don't know

481
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: if their total number of sacks was among the league leaders.

482
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't believe it was. But in terms of sack percentage,

483
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: which is sacks per play on the field, they were

484
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: tenth in the league, so it's not like they were slouches.

485
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: And granted they did lose their two biggest sack producers

486
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: in Jordan Phillips and Shack Lass in a free agency,

487
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,239
Speaker 1: But I think we can all agree that they've kind

488
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: of restocked the stable with more than capable players, Mario

489
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: Addison probably the headliner among that group to kind of

490
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: mitigate the loss how we say so, I just think

491
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: with the way they're going to be able to rotate

492
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: those eight or nine guys, however many end up on

493
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: the roster, I think the way they're going to be

494
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: able to rotate those guys and keep everyone fresh, particularly

495
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: some of the guys that are a little bit longer

496
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: in the tooth, you know, like Jerry Hughes, like Mario Addison,

497
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: along with some of the youth coming up through the pipeline,

498
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: I think they could really do some damage here. And

499
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: I also think that the defensive tackle contingent here from

500
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: a pass rushing perspective is underrated. I think yet Oliver

501
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: is going to take a big step. I think Quentin

502
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: Jefferson is going to be an unsung hero with this

503
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: group this season. And I think Harrison Phillips, who was

504
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: just coming on last year before the ACL knee injury,

505
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: is in line for a rebound type season. And I

506
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: think he's a better pass rusher than people give him

507
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: credit for. And we've heard the philosophy Steve that's come

508
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: out of the mouth of Eric Washington, the new defensive

509
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: line coach. Everyone's a pass rusher on this team, right,

510
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: and that that may bring something to the table as well.

511
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: Because of the position flexibility we've been talking about for

512
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: weeks as well, You've got guys who can play different positions.

513
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: And I don't think it it's gonna it may it

514
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: may explode out of the box. These guys may get

515
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: like five sacks against the Jets in Week one. I

516
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: don't know, but I think too they're gonna get better

517
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: as the season goes along. The thing that excites me

518
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: the most of the fact that this coaching staff leaves

519
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: no stone unturned to find out which combination of guys

520
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: is going to be a real problem. And plus, when

521
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: you start getting to know who you're gonna play next

522
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: week a couple of weeks in advance, and you've known

523
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: about it for leading up to it, you can say, listen,

524
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: when we get against say, for instance, in three weeks,

525
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs come in, we're gonna go with this

526
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: combination because if if we move player E a down

527
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: inside on the tackle on the defensive tackle side and

528
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: we move B around at the end and we put

529
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: this guy over at right left defensive ends. All of that,

530
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: those combinations will have four matchups. They all have no

531
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: answer for right. And it's funny you mentioned that because

532
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: that's a question that I asked coach McDermot on his

533
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: last zoom call yesterday. I said, Hey, look, with all

534
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: of I said, since you've been here, do you think

535
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: this is the most versatile position, flexible contingent of defensive

536
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: lineman you've had in your tenure here? And if so,

537
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: how much does that help Coach Frasier keep that group

538
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: unpredictable to opposing offensive lines. And I could sense that

539
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: he didn't want to give that up and admit that,

540
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, coaches sometimes because he started talking about the

541
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: defensive backfield after that, and I think that, well, no,

542
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: but I think there's also I think there's also a

543
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: part of there's a bell that goes off and coaches

544
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: heads that never want to really say this is the

545
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: best I've ever had, because I think they feel like

546
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: they're they're knocking guys players or ranking guys not as

547
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: good that they've had in the past, and that's just

548
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: not the way coach does it. So I probably should

549
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: have asked the question a little bit differently, But in

550
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: any event, regardless of how coach sees it, it's very

551
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: clear that there is versatility and position flexibility up and

552
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: down this defensive line that is going to give Leslie

553
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: Frasier the ability to be more creative with that group

554
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: than I think he has ever been before within the

555
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 1: scope of this defensive scheme. And I think, as you

556
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: are alluding to, that's gonna give them favorable matchups almost

557
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: each and every week somewhere across the defensive front right.

558
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: So it's and I think it's going to manifest itself

559
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 1: in a way that for me, I said yesterday, when

560
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: you get a defense like that, to me, it turns

561
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: into turnovers because all of a sudden, you're offense. The

562
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: offense is gonna get desperate earlier in the game, on

563
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: earlier downs, on more downs, you're gonna get more opportunity

564
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: to desperate offense. Certainly, they're gonna hit some hit some

565
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: some swings, no question, the offense is gonna make some

566
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: hay because they're on scholarship too. But for the most part,

567
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: when you get them desperate, they're gonna they're gonna make mistakes, yeah,

568
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: and you're gonna and if this defense is that good,

569
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna capitalize on them more often than not. So

570
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna turn into a pretty exciting defense if indeed

571
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff is true. So what element of this

572
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: year's Bills team will surprise people the most? Send us

573
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,480

Speaker 1: at one Bills Drive in Orchard Park. As the players

585
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: are already off the field from their last padded practice

586
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: of training camp in pads today after a jog through

587
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: session yesterday and the regular season preparations which have likely

588
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: already begun in terms of installs and repping plays and such.

589
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: But it begins in Earnest on Monday. I'm so ready,

590
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, Well, here's what I'm into, because I here's

591
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. I just had a little ramp before

592
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: we went back and was so sick of COVID soci

593
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: the masks, so sick of the protocols. So you know,

594
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: you and I can't hang out. Yeah, I can't go

595
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: out to you can't just hop Kenny. Hey, let's go

596
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: for a pop. Okay, go, you can't do any of that, right,

597
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: So I'm so sick of it. So now I've got

598
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 1: myself into this thing where soon as the football season starts,

599
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: like everything's gonna change, ain't gonna change, Well, it'll change

600
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: because you'll have something to watch, have something something else

601
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, we'll have something to talk as we

602
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: can watch and you know, we can go back on

603
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: and we'll get the NFL Game Day game Pass, you know,

604
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: so I watch all the games on all that. Yeah,

605
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: so that'll be different. But I'm still gonna be, you know,

606
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: wearing a mask and yeah, and we'll be six feet

607
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: apart here on set and all of that stuff. But look,

608
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: we've still got stuff to talk about today as the

609
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: regular season draws closer. And John Brown was a guy

610
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: brother from another mother for me, who was on with

611
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: the media yesterday, and he's been asked a countless number

612
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: of questions through the course of this training camp period

613
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: about the receiving corps and I don't think that he

614
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: can explain it any other way, but I know that

615
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: over these last few weeks he's kind of seen things

616
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: materialize and kind of come together. Now, so now there

617
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: is concrete evidence from the practice field as to how

618
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: this thing is going to look And so John finally

619
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: gave what I think he felt was a legitimate answer

620
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: where he's not speculating as to what it could look

621
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: like for the first time, he's explaining what he thinks

622
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: it's going to look like based on evidence on the field.

623
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: So here is John Brown giving his assessment on what

624
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: the added targets to the wide receiving corps are gonna

625
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: mean for this team this season. I don't have to

626
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: reset nothing. I've been through this before. You know, when

627
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: it's with Lara Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd. You know we had

628
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: three of them. We had three best receivers and we

629
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: just made plays when they came to us. And we

630
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: was close to having three receivers over a thousand yards,

631
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: so we made anytime the ball came out way. We

632
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: took advantage of our opportunities. And that's that's what it's

633
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: going to be. And if you want to win, you

634
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: have to stop being selfish and focus on winning and

635
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: make the plays when when they do come to you.

636
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: And I have to say, this is not the first

637
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: player in the Bills receiving corps that has stated that approach.

638
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: We heard Cole Beasley say, I don't care about my

639
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: numbers this year. When it's my turn to make a play,

640
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: I just gotta make sure I'm making it. And Coach

641
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: McDermott addressed that very approach in his most recent comments

642
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: on with the media the other day when he said,

643
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: you don't know how much I appreciate that approach coming

644
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: from players in the receiver's room because it is not

645
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: a common refrain that you hear, and you having been

646
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: in wide receiver rooms for the balance of your career,

647
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: it can probably attest to that. Yeah, it's a it's

648
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: a job that almost in the job description it says

649
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: you need to want the ball. Yeah, and you need

650
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: to you feel like if you're not getting the ball,

651
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: they're not doing the right thing offensively. It's almost ingrained

652
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: into your mentality, particularly the guys at this level. Maybe

653
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: not so much times at college level, but at this

654
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: level in particular, because when you get to this level,

655
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: you get to this level by being that guy. At

656
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: lower levels you beat guy. Listen, they're not using you,

657
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: they're making a mistake, and that carries through to this level.

658
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: You get up here and then every guy's got that

659
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: mentality and some of them take it to the extreme.

660
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: We've seen, I mean, and it's almost comical and how

661
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: you know that. But this does come through as well,

662
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: and John Brown alluded to it. Nobody complains when you're winning.

663
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: They may not be they may be disappointed they're not

664
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: helping more, they may be disappointed that they, you know,

665
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: stuff's not going perfectly or but if they're winning, nobody

666
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: really complains. And I'll tell you this too, because they

667
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: learn real fast. If you're complaining when you're winning, nobody's

668
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna hear it, wants to hear it, particularly your teammates.

669
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: So that's that's part of the job. Description. So when

670
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott goes, man, I'm glad he doesn't have to

671
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: deal with that. It's it's you know, it's appreciated by

672
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. Take it a step further. Josh Allen,

673
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I mean, he even said, so here, I'm

674
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: just gonna paint this scenario because this is what happened.

675
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: It's Week two at the Giants and the Bills are

676
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: up twenty eight fourteen. You know, the game's pretty much

677
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: in the back and Josh has a chance to hit

678
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: John Brown on an over route. He's got the defense

679
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: dead to rights, completely beat the corner and the safety.

680
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's faked out of their shoes and Josh misses him

681
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: on the throw. So I mean a short fire touchdown

682
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: if he just connects on the pass. So the drive ends.

683
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: I think they had to punt and they come to

684
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: the sideline and Josh is going over to John Brown, right,

685
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: I mean, this is only their second game together. He's

686
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: going over to John out. Man, I'm you know, I'm

687
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: sorry I missed you on that. That's a touchdown for you.

688
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, And John Brown looks at him and

689
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: goes Josh, look at the scoreboard. He goes, we're up

690
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: by fourteen points. Man, we're good. Don't worry about it.

691
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: He goes, As long as that's good, I'm fine. Yeah,

692
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: And you want to talk about I mean, because this

693
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: is a second year quarterback who's got a veteran receiver

694
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: who he deprived of an opportunity to score a touchdown,

695
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: and he wants to make him happy and motivating too. Yeah.

696
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: So how much does that take the load off a

697
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: young quarterback when you have a veteran receiver saying that

698
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: to the young guy. I mean, that's immediately the whole

699
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: situation is diffused, and the quarterback can relax because now

700
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: he's not worried. Oh man, I gotta make up for that.

701
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: I gotta hit him on something here that, you know,

702
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: maybe you force the ball from him, you know, maybe

703
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: you force a ball because you're worried he's not happy

704
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: with you. When when a veteran receiver says that to

705
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, it makes all the difference in the world. Yeah,

706
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: A lot of what goes into football in the locker

707
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: room and all this, and certainly it all it's all

708
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: about that culture that we we've heard so much about

709
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: during Sean McDermott's tenure. The most under valued or misunderstood

710
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: thing about pro football is group dynamics. The way you

711
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: have to handle the media, the voice that your team

712
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: is speaks with universally and through their head coach, The

713
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: way great players on your roster interact with the players

714
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: who are role players. The friendships that are made across

715
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: offense to defense, old players to young, big guys to

716
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: to you know, smaller guys, that group atmosphere and how

717
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: that all intertwines, and it comes down to a lot

718
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: the major voices in that room, what they are, how

719
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: they perceived, whether they're beloved or whether they're tolerated. That

720
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: has a lot to do with how your team is

721
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: going to play and how they're going to perform on

722
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: the field, and the personality and the drama. It's all about,

723
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, the drama and whether it's going to happen

724
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: or not. And that group dynamic and the way it

725
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 1: comes together like that is probably the most misunderstood and valued,

726
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: undervalued part of a team. Yeah, and uh, and I

727
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: know it's that speaks to character, but there you know,

728
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: that speaks to the culture that we're talking about. But

729
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: that's what it's about. It's group dynamics and you know

730
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: there are college classes on that stuff that you can

731
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: take it. And it's pretty interesting to see how that works,

732
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: and it's it's something Sean McDermott understrands understands greatly. And

733
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, John Brown's comments there, you know, kind of

734
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: let you in on why he's an important part. And

735
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: we've heard this already from players on the defensive side

736
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: of the ball in training camp. Micah Hyde recently said

737
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 1: this is the most competitive camp for us in terms

738
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: of what the offense has been able to throw at us,

739
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: and that's due to the upgrades on that side of

740
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: the ball at receiver among other positions, And so we

741
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: thought it would be good to get the offenses take

742
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: on that. Now you feel like you're finally measuring up

743
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: to what is a top five defense on this roster.

744
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: So in camp, how is that competition between the receivers

745
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: and dbs. So here's John Brown's take on that. Oh,

746
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: it's been real good. And you know, just going against

747
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: those guys, you had to be prepared every day. If

748
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: you come out then you're not you're not feeling it.

749
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: I think it's best to sit out so every day

750
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: you got to come with your a game because we're battling,

751
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: going back and forth, and you know, we both hate

752
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: to lose as an offense and the defensive unit. So

753
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: every day we know and that it's going to be

754
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: a showdown, so we just have to come prepare. And

755
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: that kind of competition in practice is what coaches are after,

756
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: Like they don't want to be on the practice field

757
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: trying to inject the energy into practice to get players

758
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: to perform and to compete. So when it's when there's

759
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: self motivation and there's that back and forth, whether it's chirping,

760
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: you know, making somebody look silly because you ran around

761
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: that good, it's like it's like a self fulfilling kind

762
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: of thing where the coach doesn't have to step in

763
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: and say, hey, let's pick it up right, you know,

764
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: it's just naturally manifested there. That's right. Yeah, And it's

765
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: it's a huge benefit, particularly as you get deeper into

766
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: the season, because that never'll that never goes away. Even

767
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: when you're these guys are walking through and the jog

768
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: through they had yesterday, they'll be competing and they're talking

769
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: about you know it, It makes your relationships in the

770
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: in the game. Deeper on the team makes them deeper

771
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: when you compete against the guy day after day and

772
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: you understand him. And and uh Leslie Frasier in a

773
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: in a Zoom call I hosted with him the other night,

774
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: he said, you play against your own defense, and you

775
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: play against your own offense so much you get acclimated

776
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: to each other. And I remember it vividly. There were

777
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: twelve defensive backs on the on the on the roster.

778
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: We had eleven or twelve wide receivers during training camps,

779
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: and you go out and you go one on ones

780
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: every day. Sooner you have gone against all those guys

781
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 1: multiple times. I know how I can beat this guy.

782
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: I know how I can beat that guy, and they

783
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: in turn, no, I know he can, I know he

784
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: does this well, I know he does that. I gotta

785
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: take that away, and I gotta take this away if

786
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: I can, you know what I mean. It's just it

787
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: just gets old. That's why these scrimmages and these inter

788
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: squad scrimmages and the team to team scrimmage we used

789
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: to see before COVID and preseason games are so telling

790
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: because guys have to like wash that away and go

791
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: who is this guy and it's that's the thing you lose.

792
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, that competition is keen because they

793
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: know your weaknesses and they know your strengths and they

794
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: and they don't want to be made to look bad,

795
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: so they'll take him away. We do have some sound

796
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,959
Speaker 1: from siran Neil. We will get to that a little

797
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 1: bit later in the show as he addresses his versatile

798
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: role on defense and also kind of commented on the

799
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: offensive defensive battle in the scope of practice. So we'll

800
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: hear from him a little bit later in the show

801
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: because we are up against the break right now. And

802
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: when we come back, Steve, I've got a few comments

803
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: to make about a master illusionist by the name of

804
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: David Blaine. Ascension. Yeah, he had. His latest feat was

805
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: called Ascension. We will get into that and just get

806
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: your rate. We'll get we'll get to it. On the

807
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 1: other side of absolutely Ridiculous, It's One Bill's Live presented

808
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio back on

809
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and

810
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: we take a moment's hairy break from football here because

811
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: I'm sorry this this had to be addressed Steve Steve

812
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: so master illusionist David Blaine, who I will admit, I'll

813
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: be the first to admit, has done some amazing stuff.

814
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: His street magic is ridiculous, like making himself look to

815
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: people standing right in front of him like he's levitating. Uh.

816
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: He swallows live amphibians and then coughs them up out

817
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: of his stomach into somebody's wine glass and the thing,

818
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, the frog still hopping around. I don't know

819
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: how he does that. And he's done these other feats

820
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: of endurance, you know, packing himself in ice for two

821
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: or three days. Uh, you know, no food, no water.

822
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how he's using the facilities when he

823
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: doesn't have one, but you know, in any event, his

824
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: latest stunt was basically tying himself to a number of

825
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: large helium filled falloons. Yeah. The name of the feet

826
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: was called dissension, and he basically hung on to this

827
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: thing and they it carried him into the air. Initially,

828
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: it was only supposed to be I think like ten

829
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: thousand feet that he was supposed to be going up,

830
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: and he actually went almost twenty five thousand feet. He

831
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: had an oxygen tank. You know, the air gets thin

832
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: up there, and you know, your heart rate starts accelerating

833
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: when you don't get enough oxygen. So he had oxygen

834
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: to breathe when he felt he needed it, and he

835
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: had a parachute after he hatched to you know, kind

836
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 1: of parachute back to earth. And I'm watching this thing,

837
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: saying to myself, Steve. While I respect the fact that

838
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: there is some measure of danger, obviously, balloons I suppose

839
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: could pop. Uh. You know, maybe the parachute doesn't work right.

840
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,479
Speaker 1: Maybe you try to disengage and you can't and there's

841
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: some complication there. Maybe he passes out because he didn't

842
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: breathe the oxygen too soon. You're a master illusionist, Steve.

843
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: There's no illusion here right. You're you're tying yourself to

844
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: balloons and going up in the air. I mean, this

845
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: is what is this that? Come on? I told you

846
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: I've been on Disney rides that worth more thrilling. Right now,

847
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: there are people who'd rather do that than fly Southwest

848
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: or or American, yeah or United. I don't want to

849
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: take an airline. I'll do that. Yeah, I'll go cross.

850
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: But here's the bright here's the best part for me, Steve. Okay,

851
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 1: I watched enough of this to feel like I've got

852
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 1: enough of a background on you know, all the planning

853
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: that was involved with this. He claims this was something

854
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: he's wanted to do since he was a kid. He

855
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: saw some movie in the nineteen seventies with some kid

856
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: floating away in a movie. You did not get this

857
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: idea from a movie in the nineteen seventies. You got

858
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: this movie. You got this idea from the grandpa and

859
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: up who tied his house to a thousands of balloons

860
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: and floated his house away so we could go to

861
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: paradise somewhere. And incidentally, Steve, if you haven't watched that

862
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: movie yet, you should watch it with your grandkids. A

863
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: wonderful story the movie. But at a side side, I'm

864
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: off the sidetrack. That's where he got the idea. Yeah, there,

865
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: the balloons are the exact same colors and everything the

866
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: movies more thrilling than the stunt was. And not for

867
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: nothing too, Like you're an illusionist. You know, you've had

868
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: seven months of COVID to come up with a better

869
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: idea than this balloons. I'm going up in the air,

870
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Steve reminded me during the break of that

871
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: guy that went up in a lawn chair right on balloons,

872
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: tied a lawn chair of late what was it called,

873
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: not one of the lay back things. Yeah, he goes

874
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: up in a baby gun. He was up. Yeah, and

875
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: he had a baby gun. That was his way. He

876
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: didn't have a p no parachute. The was a bb gun.

877
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: So I really brilliant. That is a stunt. That is

878
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: a stunt, because let me just tell you, I mean

879
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And Steve alluded to this when we

880
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: had this discussion initially, you know, the lead up to

881
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,479
Speaker 1: this thing. It was on YouTube live, okay, And I'm

882
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: watching the preamble to this and and obviously half the

883
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: job of a magician slash illusionist is to set the

884
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: stage so you are fully aware of all the risks

885
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: and dangers involved, like this could go wrong, or this

886
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: could go we've we've uh signed up the most elaborate experts.

887
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: There was a guy on the preamble. His name was

888
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: listed there and then under it it said flying expert.

889
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: Who the hell is a flying expert? Like, you want

890
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: to tell me you got a pilot who's an expert

891
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: at flying planes? That's fine? What human on this planet

892
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: is a flying expert. Quick, are you like at one

893
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: of those like squirrels, you got extra webbed skin between

894
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: your legs and your arms. There are no flying experts.

895
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: That's that's the amazing, because you're right. They spent the

896
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: whole thing, most of these things over two hours ninety yeah,

897
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: and an hour and fifty minutes of it is telling

898
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: you how dangerous it's going to be and all the

899
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: dangers that are both to me, both real and imagined.

900
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: And it's supposed to get the tension all and wow,

901
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean you got it. I'm sorry you've had seven

902
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: eight months of COVID as an all I mean, as

903
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: an illusionist. During a magician, you're sitting on your couch

904
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: half the time. Anyway, you're only working when you're on

905
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 1: the street doing street magic or you got a gig

906
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: to do. You've got a lot of free time to

907
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: think of something better than this. So David Blaine really disappointed.

908
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you stole your idea from the movie Up

909
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: a grandpa who ties his house to a bunch of

910
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 1: balloons and floats away. That's where you got it from.

911
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: You gotta do better, man, Come on, do better, do better?

912
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: That because for me, I saw that and dangerous whatever.

913
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: I was like, where do I sign up? That was

914
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 1: kind of fun and it looked dangerous. I want to know,

915
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. Now I'm not giving this.

916
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: I'll give him this. I don't know if I'm going

917
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: up twenty five thousand feet. But that's a long way

918
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: that brownie. You go up until you let go, I

919
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: mean yeah, until you were to release this. I know

920
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that high, right you got on it

921
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: to just say I wouldn't do that. I'll tell you

922
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: this though, they tell me, you know what, I'm at

923
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: ten thousand. I'm good. The cool part of the cool

924
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: part of about it was they had it like, you know,

925
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: camered up so you could watch him and they were

926
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: talking to him and stuff like that. The cool part

927
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: about it was he was up so high. You know,

928
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: flat earthers, you know you need to like you know,

929
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: turn away because you could see the earth. Yeah, And

930
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: so I was like, that's kind of cool. Yeah, that

931
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: was kind of I'm not saying it was unbelievable, but

932
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: knowing who he is and being a master illusionist, I

933
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: just think it missed the mark. There's no illusion here.

934
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: He needed to be. You're floating up in the air,

935
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: no tricks here, still floating, still floating, and hey he's

936
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: gonna come back down. I'm like, he did put it.

937
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: He waited until he got up there to put his

938
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: parachute on. Yeah, I mean talking about adding to the

939
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: intrigue and suspense then also too, the thing about it

940
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: is to get ready for this, he had to take

941
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: five hundred parachute five hundred parachute jumps. So it's not

942
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 1: like he's a novice. He's not a flying expert. You're

943
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: a falling expert. That's right, you're falling. That is exactly right.

944
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, I would totally. You're you're you're

945
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: you're interested in doing this. I do not see Sarah, Well,

946
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I would do well. Here's the thing. When

947
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: I was doing one of the games for CBT, one

948
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: of the games, I think it was Super Bowl forty two,

949
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: it's one between the Cold it was, it's one between

950
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: the Colts Bears, I think in Miami. And this when

951
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 1: Shannon Sharpe was on the NFL and CBS pregame show,

952
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: and sick Shannon was a big energet he still is.

953
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's got a lot of a lot of possession.

954
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: He wanted to get me and him and piggyback skydive

955
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: with two guys. We piggyback skydive into the stadium pre

956
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,720
Speaker 1: game for the show Wow, And in the production meeting

957
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: lean up, they spring this on and go, Steve, what

958
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 1: do you think about skydiving into the to the stadium

959
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: and all that with Shannon and all that. I'm I look,

960
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I just I was like, I just

961
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: shook my head. No, I ain't doing that feeling that

962
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: one I was. You know, I'm in in my you know,

963
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: late forties on the fifty, you know, and I'm like,

964
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna happen. Yeah, I ain't gonna happen. The

965
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: other thing I would worry about being Shannon Sharp is

966
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: I'm a big guy, and I'm gonna be another guy

967
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: on my back. He'd a bigger position to be difficult

968
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: for him to maneuver us because he's two hundred and

969
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: fifty five pound guy. Yeah, I don't know. Well, I'm

970
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: glad you shouldn't. Yeah, well I don't know, but glad,

971
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: but I'm nothing happened to me because I didn't. That's right.

972
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: Um so yeah. Yeah. I was like I got the

973
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: feeling too that the the higher ups were like, yeah, liability, Yeah,

974
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: we don't want liability. We didn't want Shannon to do

975
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: it either. Yeah. I was like, ah, you know what

976
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm done. All right, So I've said my piece on that. Yeah,

977
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,959
Speaker 1: David Blane, David Blane disappointed, I am, but yeah, feel

978
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: free to check it out if you want him. I'm

979
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: sure he's made his money back and more just by

980
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: floating up in the air. Gotta come up with a

981
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: better idea for the next one, David. He should have

982
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: been upside down to the strait jacket or something with

983
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: no parachute. Yeah, like a d rocket shoot him into

984
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: the air or something. Try to get your bearings and

985
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: then do something after that. That, Now, that would have

986
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: been good. I mean, look, I appreciate David Blaine. He's

987
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: no evil Knevil. He's no snake river rocket guy. Yeah,

988
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: no he's not. So he's got to come up with

989
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: better material. All right. We have to take a break,

990
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we'll be hearing from one

991
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,840

1034
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. Steve Tasker Chris Brown with you

1035
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: for hour number two of the program. And while we

1036
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: were asking you for comments on the tweet sheet with

1037
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: our latest Twitter poll today, which is what element of

1038
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: this year's Bill's team will surprise people the most? And

1039
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,280
Speaker 1: we have some choices up there, the D line, sack, production,

1040
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's accuracy, run game, dominance, or something else. You know.

1041
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say that a lot of

1042
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: people are expecting the passing game to take a giant

1043
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: leap forward. That's an expected thing. I think people are

1044
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: expecting the secondary to play as well as they have

1045
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: each of the last two seasons when they've been a

1046
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 1: top five pass defense. Those are expected things for this

1047
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty team. What might be the most surprising element

1048
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: of this year's Bill's team. That's what we're asking and

1049
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: it's a runaway right now, as Josh Allen has more

1050
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: than two thirds of the vote, people saying Allen's accuracy

1051
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,760
Speaker 1: is going to surprise people the most, and you're laughing, Steve,

1052
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,919
Speaker 1: tell us, why what if he has like sixty seven

1053
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: percent of our respondents say it's his accuracy? What if

1054
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: he complete sixty seven percent of Its funny. I was

1055
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: just thinking that would be a gigantic lead, because that

1056
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: means his completion percentage would be almost ten percent higher

1057
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: than it was last season at fifty eight point eight.

1058
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 1: If he's at sixty seven percent, this team might win

1059
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 1: twelve games. Yeah, that's what I believe because if he's

1060
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: that accurate and connecting that effectively, combined with the defense

1061
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: and what it's supposed to be, I mean that that's

1062
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,479
Speaker 1: going to be a pretty special season. But let's see

1063
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: what you have to say on the tweet sheet as

1064
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: we go to it. And the tweet sheet brought to

1065
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

1066
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, and this one from I believe

1067
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:27,240
Speaker 1: it's pronounced die, so forgive me if I pronounced that wrong. Unfortunately,

1068
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: Allen's supporters and haters have already made their mind up.

1069
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: He could hit sixty eight percent completion for the year

1070
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't make a difference. In fact, the biggest

1071
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 1: surprise would be if the critics admitted defeat on Josh

1072
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,720
Speaker 1: Allen and what they thought of him. Yeah, I look,

1073
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: I believe that his completion percentage will go up. Is

1074
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 1: it going to get up to sixty eight percent? I

1075
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to get there, but I'm

1076
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: telling you right now, Josh Allen's game is not being

1077
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: ridiculously efficient. I don't think that's what he's ever going

1078
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: to be. I think he makes up for maybe what

1079
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,919
Speaker 1: he doesn't offer you in pinpoint precision no matter the circumstance.

1080
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: He makes up for that with his legs, his ability

1081
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 1: to get tough yards if he tucks it, and I

1082
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: just think his competitive fire helps to make up for

1083
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: some of those things that maybe he can't measure up to.

1084
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: With the truly elite accurate passers in the league that

1085
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: hover around sixty eight seventy percent every year, it's only

1086
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: about three or four of them that do that. And

1087
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: let's not forget that people are like, oh wow, let him,

1088
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: he's got to get up to sixty eight percent. It's

1089
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: like there's there's like four guys in the league that

1090
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: do that consistently year after year. Right, you got to

1091
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: you take what you've got and you win games that way.

1092
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: And that's what the Bills have always done with Josh Allen.

1093
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: They've used his legs, they've used him as a short

1094
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: yardage back. They've remember last year and the first couple

1095
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: of weeks, they'd just snap it to him and they'd

1096
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: run student body right and he'd bowl it in. He

1097
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: did it gains the Jets and the Giants, and they

1098
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: kind of stopped doing that throughout the rest of the

1099
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,479
Speaker 1: year once they got that on film. And I think

1100
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: that has been the plan all along, from the very beginning,

1101
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: from whoever drafted they drafted and it being Josh Allen,

1102
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: they said, Okay, here's our plan with this guy. He's

1103
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be Aaron Rodgers, he's not gonna be Russell Wilson,

1104
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna be Ben Roethlisberger, but he could

1105
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: be sort of this Cam Newton kind of playmaking Russell

1106
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: Wilson kind of got you know what I mean with

1107
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: his legs, stay alive, keep it alive, and do this.

1108
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: He could be a Cam Newton kind of guy who

1109
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: we've seen and we saw in Carolina, and if he's

1110
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: that kind of guy, we'll get what we can get

1111
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: in the passing game. This way, we'll do this, We'll

1112
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: put this stuff around, we'll play good defense, we'll have

1113
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: a running game, and we'll use him where we can

1114
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: they use his playmaking ability. We're gonna win games differently

1115
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,919
Speaker 1: than we would if we would have drafted the other

1116
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: either guy the Sam Donald or Baker Mayfield or Lamar

1117
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: Jackson or Josh Rosen. We're gonna we got a different

1118
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: plan for them. But we've seen teams win a lot

1119
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: of games with with a guy like Josh Allen. Indeed,

1120
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: our team, the Sean McDermott came from in fifteen, they

1121
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: went to the super Bowl with Cam Newton. So we

1122
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: feel we can do it with a guy like him.

1123
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: Let's that's how we're gonna win games that with this guy.

1124
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 1: We're not gonna have them whatever the Greatest Show on

1125
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: Turf or the uh any other offense you wanted to,

1126
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, those kind of We're not gonna be the

1127
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints with Drew Brees. We're gonna be different,

1128
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: but we're gonna win games that way. So that's their plan,

1129
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: and that's why they went out and built their defense

1130
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: up before they fixed their offensive line in his second year,

1131
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, so or his first year.

1132
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:46,919
Speaker 1: So that's they've known who they've got the whole time. Now,

1133
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: any improvement he makes his gravy, Yes, and I you know,

1134
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: you look at the step that he made from year

1135
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: one to year two. He went from a significant He

1136
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: went from a fifty two percent passer to a fifty

1137
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: eight percent passer. And I guess any quarterback that eight nine, right,

1138
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: any quarterback that hovers in the fifties in terms of

1139
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: completion percentage, it's like a blip on the radar nobody notices.

1140
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: But if he takes another step and increases again from

1141
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: fifty eight point eight up to sixty two, even that's

1142
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: a that's a respectable jump that is going to make

1143
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: this offense pretty significantly efficient, significantly more efficient. What if

1144
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: he makes the exact same jump, goes from fifty two

1145
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: to fifty eight, so sixty this team's going somewhere. Oh yeah,

1146
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: they're they're a tough out. Yeah, they were tough out

1147
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: last year. Even if he's at sixty two percent there.

1148
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: I think they're significantly more efficient if he makes the

1149
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: exact same jump he made last year. They're they're deep

1150
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: in the player, and they're deep in the playoffs. Back

1151
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet, and this one went a little

1152
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: negative on us, but from Anthony, he says this the

1153
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: biggest surprise for fans for the Bills this year will

1154
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: be that the secondary will not be as good. I

1155
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: think he's off as rocker here. First of all, this

1156
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: is like the I mean, and we don't know how

1157
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: the right cornerback is going to shake out because Josh

1158
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: Norman is just coming back from injury. We learned yesterday

1159
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: that Levi Wallace is dealing with a hamstring injury, so

1160
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: it's difficult to predict how that's going to look at

1161
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. But for all intents and purposes,

1162
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: this secondary is the same as it's been for the

1163
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: better part of the last two seasons, and you'll have

1164
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: a better front in front of it. And that's and

1165
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: that's the key, Steed. It's gonna have a better defensive

1166
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,439
Speaker 1: line helping them on the back end, and I think

1167
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna make them even better, not worse. Well,

1168
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: he's right though, if they aren't as good, that will

1169
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: be a surprise. So he's right, He's right in that

1170
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: room will be a surprise. We did want to get

1171
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: in this portion of the show to some comments made

1172
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: by Josh Allen who addressed the media today, and so

1173
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: we will begin there. And you know we've been talking

1174
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: about Josh already in terms of him running away with

1175
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll right now, and Josh talked about being

1176
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: prepared four week one against the Jets as time is

1177
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: running out to have everything buttoned up and ready to go.

1178
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: So here is Josh addressing the team's preparations for week

1179
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: one in the Jets. Yeah. I mean I think I'm

1180
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: in a good spot. I think the way I'm throwing

1181
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: the ball my um, I wouldn't say knowledge, but my

1182
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: familiarity with with my my throwing motion right now, it's

1183
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: become it's become really good. I feel like I know

1184
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: what happens when when I missed or when something when

1185
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: when the ball comes out of my hand funky. So

1186
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: I think as far as mechanic goes, I think I'm

1187
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: in a good spot. Obviously, there's still want to work

1188
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: on and it's going to be a weekly thing, day

1189
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 1: in and day out, just trying to trying to perfect it.

1190
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: And um, you know, nobody's ever gonna be perfect, and

1191
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: I understand that, but um, to try to reach perfection

1192
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: is what you have to think about. So I think

1193
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: we've talked about this before, Steve. There are quarterbacks who

1194
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: are so resolutely confident that it's hard for them to

1195
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: assess their own game personally right, and they have to

1196
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: be coached on it and shown, hey, look on this situation,

1197
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: you gotta do this a little bit better. I don't

1198
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: know if I've come across a more self aware quarterback

1199
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: than Josh Allen, just in terms of knowing what he

1200
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: did wrong, whether it's a throwing motion or something mechanical

1201
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: in his delivery, whether it's how he read a defense

1202
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: and going back and looking at it on tape, whatever

1203
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: the case might be. He is infinitely self aware, right,

1204
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: he's and the accountability holds himself to it's not you know,

1205
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: he knows. That's the second part he comes in. He's

1206
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: he knows when he knows he's got to be better.

1207
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: He knows where the pressure of the team's success falls,

1208
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 1: and it falls on his ability to improve on his play.

1209
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: He knows that he's the question mark. I mean, this

1210
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: guy is he's heard the criticism for the last two

1211
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: and a half, coming into his third year, about how

1212
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: people almost you know, you know, laughingly referred to him.

1213
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: They think he's you know, they some people you know,

1214
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: joke at the guy even though he's you know, been

1215
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: to the playoffs last year. So he hears all of

1216
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: that and knows what and understands what these people are

1217
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: seeing and why he's getting criticized, and he's taken great effort,

1218
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: made great effort to fix all of that stuff. Whether

1219
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: it happens overnight, I'd kind of tend to say probably not,

1220
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 1: but I'll take he probably will develop like he has

1221
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: continued to throughout his first couple of years in the league.

1222
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 1: So we'll see where it happens. But I agree with you, Brownie,

1223
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: he's got a great head on his shoulders. He knows

1224
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: how important it is for him to play better, and

1225
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: he's taking steps toward doing it. And I mean, that's

1226
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: all you can ask of the guy. He's got to

1227
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: do it on game day, no question, but he's made

1228
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:42,959
Speaker 1: every effort to be better. We heard in the last

1229
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: hour from John Brown as to how intense the competition

1230
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: has been between the wide receivers and the defensive backs

1231
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: in the practice setting, and Josh Allen was asked about

1232
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: that as well as the last padded practice of training

1233
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: camp took place today. So here's his assessment on how

1234
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: competitive those battles have been. I'm gonna start off with saying,

1235
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: I've never been around the group of men that are

1236
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: as competitive as this group that we have here. And

1237
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: I think it's kudos to our front office for bringing

1238
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: in the guys that really want to work, the guys

1239
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: that want to win no matter what it takes. And yeah,

1240
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 1: like you said, the talent level on both sides, it

1241
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: is fairly high, and we just got to keep, you know,

1242
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: pushing each other, trying to be better. And I think

1243
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: the greatest thing that we get to do is go

1244
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: against our defense, which has been a top defense in

1245
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: the league for the last you know, a few years

1246
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: and ever since coach McDermot got here. And you know,

1247
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: it's a blessing to be able to go against them

1248
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: every day only makes you better, It only makes you better,

1249
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: you know. And I just like the fact that now

1250
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: the defense is being tested a little bit more. I

1251
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: think it was a foregone conclusion, especially even before John

1252
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: Brown and Cole Beasley got here, that the defense was

1253
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: far ahead of where the offense was, not only execution wise,

1254
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:00,959
Speaker 1: but to a great degree to allen wise as well.

1255
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: And steadily Brandon being in that personnel department have built

1256
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: up the offense to a point now where it's pretty

1257
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: comparable to the defense. Now. The offense, we know, finished

1258
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: twenty third in the league last year and only average

1259
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: a little over nineteen points a game, and they have

1260
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: a leap to take this year. But I you know,

1261
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: we were talking with one of our guests last week.

1262
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: I think it was field Yates that if the Bill's

1263
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 1: offense can just get up into the middle of the

1264
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: pack in the league in terms of ranks, they could

1265
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: be the fifteenth ranked offense in the league and be

1266
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, the thirteenth or fourteenth highest scoring team in

1267
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: the league. With this defense, that's going to be enough

1268
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: to get you pretty far. Lots of teams have gotten

1269
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl like that. The Super Bowl you

1270
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: can look at, you know, the Patriots did it with

1271
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: before Tom Brady and Bill Belichick back. You know, teams

1272
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: that get there they usually have one side of the

1273
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: ball that carries them. And with if you've got to

1274
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 1: top flight defense, you can get there. With the fifteenth

1275
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: ranked offense, you can. It happens and uh, scoring yards wise,

1276
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: whatever you want to slice it. It. Something's gotta something's

1277
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: got to be really good on your team. And for

1278
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: this team, it's no doubt it's going to be this defense.

1279
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: Now this offense, as much as they can help them

1280
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: u particular, they can go out and maybe win a

1281
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: game or two where they, you know, instead of not

1282
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 1: losing the game, there might be a couple of games

1283
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: where they have to score twenty eight thirty points to win.

1284
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: I think playing the Chiefs, you're gonna get you're game. Yeah,

1285
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to get into some some games like that. Now,

1286
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: this defense played against the Baltimore Ravens last year and

1287
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens were hanging, you know, a thirty burger

1288
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 1: on everybody, and the Bills held him down a little bit. Yeah, four,

1289
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,439
Speaker 1: I think, right, So but you know twenty four, you

1290
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, you should should be on that, right, you

1291
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: should have a chance at that if well, yeah, and

1292
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:57,439
Speaker 1: we've and we've mentioned this statistic also the Bills last

1293
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: year made the playoffs, averaging nineteen point six points per game.

1294
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: The other eleven playoff teams their combined scoring average was

1295
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 1: twenty six point six points per game. It was an

1296
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 1: entire touchdown fire. So that's the mark. That's the mark,

1297
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: that's where this offense has to get if they want

1298
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: to be truly one of the elite contenders. That's the

1299
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: ground that has to be covered. And will they be

1300
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 1: able to cover it all this year? Maybe they will.

1301
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: We'll have to see, but that that's the step that

1302
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: has to be taken, at least from a points perspective,

1303
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: points per game perspective. One player who is of great

1304
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: intrigue to a lot of Bills fans is the rookie

1305
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: receiver that's been making a lot of noise. One Gabriel Davis.

1306
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: He prefers Gabriel by the way, in case you didn't know,

1307
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 1: and he has been making plays consistently almost daily in

1308
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: the practice setting. So Josh Allen was asked for his

1309
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: take on what he thinks of the rookie receiver thus far.

1310
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: There's an eagerness to learn, there's an eagerness to to

1311
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 1: be great, and you know he knows where he was drafted.

1312
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: And I think he uses that as motivation, uh, you know,

1313
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 1: to be become great. You know, there's still a lot

1314
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: of um things that he needs to do, a lot

1315
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: of things he needs to grow and learn from. And

1316
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: um that experience in the NFL is only gonna make

1317
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 1: him better. But he's a guy that comes in each

1318
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: and every day and he doesn't talk a lot, but

1319
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: he listens. He wants to know, you know, how Cole's

1320
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: doing a release on a guy playing inside from the slot.

1321
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: He wants to know how John's attacking a guy and

1322
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: how he's post theming or whatever the case may be.

1323
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: And he's learning from guys like Steph and um, he's

1324
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: in a really good position, you know, be able being

1325
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: able to learn from three great, three great receivers in

1326
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 1: this league that have been around for for quite some time.

1327
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: So he's in a good spot. But he's taking advantage

1328
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: of it. And you know, when you have veterans to

1329
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: learn from like that, I mean, holy cow, like that,

1330
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: that can only help you. I mean, yeah, you think

1331
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: about all of and and and I'll use the Steelers

1332
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: as an example, okay, because the Steelers somehow, some way

1333
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: lose number one receivers off their roster and they've got

1334
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: another guy right in the pipeline ready to step in.

1335
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, whether you want to run down the list

1336
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: from Hines Ward to Santonio Holmes to Mike Wallace to

1337
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown to Juju Smith Schuster, I mean that's six guys,

1338
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: like just now. Part of that's drafting well obviously, but

1339
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 1: you would like to think there's somewhat of a knowledge

1340
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: base that gets passed on. Maybe it's better in some

1341
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: places than others. I don't pretend to think that Antonio

1342
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 1: Brown is a tutor at the wide receiver position for

1343
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster, but there are little tricks of the

1344
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: trade that you can pick up from the veterans on

1345
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: your roster. And it looks like Gabriel Davis is taking

1346
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: advantage of that here. Yeah, that's true. But I've always

1347
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: said this, you know, it's it's not the receivers that

1348
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 1: make the quarterback, it's the other way around. I mean,

1349
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace had an okay career after he left Pittsburgh.

1350
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: True hines Ward retired Antonio Brown when a wall right,

1351
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,480
Speaker 1: and Tonio Holmes didn't do much after he left the Steelers.

1352
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 1: The guy that Chael Burris, the guy that makes it

1353
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: run over there is the guy pulling the trigger. I've

1354
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: I've seen Ben, I've you know, watched him throw. I've

1355
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: heard people talk about his throwing motion. I'm not an

1356
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: expert on that stuff, but I know this. If you're

1357
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: going to play wide receiver for the Steelers, that guy

1358
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: can get it to you in a small window. And

1359
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 1: guys when they learned that, you know, I to me,

1360
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown completely misunderstood his He just not had the

1361
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: self awareness. I go, like Josh Allen has, Antonio Brown

1362
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't thank his lucky stars he got as a fifth

1363
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,560
Speaker 1: round draft pick. He got picked up by the Steelers

1364
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: and had been thrown to him. I know, we can

1365
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: say what you want about Ben off the field and

1366
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: all that stuff. He's a Steeler, not a Bill and

1367
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But I'm telling you this right now,

1368
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: that guy is a great quarterback. He's a great thrower

1369
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: of the football. And though that whole string of wide

1370
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 1: receivers is testament to that that it's for me because

1371
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: I played with Jim Kelly, and I I watched and

1372
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: I played against and with in Pro Bowls, John Elway

1373
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 1: More and Moon. Those guys make you because they see

1374
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 1: it and can throw it. It's not easy and they're rare,

1375
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: and so I think this wide receiving corps is gonna

1376
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: make Josh better because there's so many of them. But

1377
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,639
Speaker 1: if you're gonna talk about a guy that I don't think,

1378
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 1: I'll just say this, this is not a place with

1379
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: this defense and the way this thing's constructed with Josh.

1380
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Unless Josh takes another step forward, then all bets are off.

1381
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: If he takes another step like he did last year, yeah,

1382
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like that. But this is gonna be

1383
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: a thing where together they're all gonna take a step

1384
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: forward and help Josh take a step forward. In the

1385
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 1: offense is going to be a winning offense and scores

1386
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: enough points a game. But I don't think this is

1387
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those offense where Steph Diggs is

1388
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: gonna come in and we're in, you know, fourteen hundred

1389
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: yards and fifteen touchdown kind of kind of year. I

1390
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: think they're gonna spread it around. So I think that's

1391
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 1: the where their mindset is in training camp is right

1392
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 1: about where they need to be. But I think, yeah,

1393
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm I'm totally with you. I don't think it's about

1394
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's about Steph or Cole Beasley or

1395
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: John Brown. I think it's about Josh. And this offense

1396
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be I think it's gonna be successful. I

1397
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,679
Speaker 1: really do, particularly with those two backs and the offensive line.

1398
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:23,600
Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm I'm all about you know there,

1399
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 1: it's about the quarterback and his ability to make you great, right,

1400
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: and what's on the minds of the quarterback and all

1401
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: the other players, especially those on the back half of

1402
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 1: the roster, whose security on this roster may not be

1403
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 1: one hundred percent because we know there's nothing guaranteed in

1404
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. Josh did addressed how roster cutdown day is

1405
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: fast approaching. The deadline is Saturday at four pm. So

1406
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: here are his thoughts about cutdown day fast approaching. And

1407
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't get paid to make decisions or um,

1408
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, I get paid to play quarterback. Yarantrad at

1409
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 1: the ball to the right guys. But um, like you said,

1410
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday, it's it's in my opinion, the Satursday

1411
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 1: and off sports. You know a lot of guys are um,

1412
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 1: you know, losing part of the part of them in

1413
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 1: the game of football. And it's such a sad day because,

1414
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: like you said, there's guys that I know can play

1415
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 1: on other teams that might not have that opportunity special

1416
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: this year with all the COVID restrictions and whatnot. So, um, yeah,

1417
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: they've got a tough decision and a bunch of tough

1418
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: decisions upstairs. But um, you know the day, it's a

1419
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: business and we understand that as players, and we got to,

1420
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, put our best foot forward and look forward

1421
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: to the next Sunday. And I always wonder how it

1422
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 1: is for guys who know they're on the roster, Like

1423
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen knows he's on this roster. The next forty

1424
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: eight to seventy two hours are not going to be

1425
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: harrowing for him in any way, shape or form, But

1426
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:50,679
Speaker 1: how does he feel about those guys that are biting

1427
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: their nails for the next forty eight to seventy two

1428
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 1: hours wondering am I going to make the cut here? Um?

1429
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,600
Speaker 1: I always wonder how that gets trans transfixed on a

1430
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: that knows, hey man, I'm on the roster. I mean,

1431
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 1: all you can do is reach out and say, hey, sorry, dude,

1432
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: you worked your tail off I'm sorry it didn't work out.

1433
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: I mean, other than shooting a text or making a

1434
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 1: phone call, it's really and I'm not much else those

1435
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: guys can do. It's awkward. Yeah, it's awkward because you

1436
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 1: feel bad for the guy who want them to make it.

1437
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: But at the same token, you understand it. If you

1438
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: if you bring him back, then that guy's got to go,

1439
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's it's just a part of it.

1440
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: It's a part of the deal. And it's hard. It's

1441
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 1: a hard it's a hard day. And I know this

1442
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: too because there's always that one day before they can

1443
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 1: sign the practice squad guys back. It's like a twenty

1444
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: four to forty eight hour period. Yeah, and then then

1445
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: the personnel people and the coaching staff are holding their breath.

1446
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: Are were gonna be able to get this guy back

1447
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 1: for the practice? You go out to it and they

1448
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: have practices during that time. So you go out there

1449
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: and you go from the nine eighty nitt Man roster

1450
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 1: you go down there. It's like, next time you're out

1451
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:44,519
Speaker 1: on the field, there's fifty three. Yeah, it's like, whoo,

1452
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: who are gonna play with? Like there's nobody here, you know,

1453
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 1: And this is from college kids. You've got like one

1454
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen guys on the roster, right, they got

1455
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five guys on the roster. On

1456
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: the sidelines, you got double numbers and all that stuff

1457
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: going on. You get out there to play a pro

1458
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 1: football game. You walk out there after they cutdown Danny

1459
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:05,759
Speaker 1: got fifty three guys. It's like, we were's the other bus.

1460
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 1: You know what happened? How are we gonna who's I mean?

1461
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 1: If the field looks empty, you literally have almost half

1462
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 1: the guys that you had the last time you were

1463
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: on the practice field. Yeah, it's it's it's sobering, it

1464
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: really is. Then forget. I was like, what are we

1465
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna do? Well, now, what are we gonna We can't

1466
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,480
Speaker 1: even practice, you know, I mean it was it was amazing.

1467
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: You go, Dad, there's nobody there. There's more coaches and

1468
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 1: staff out there than our players, and it's like cool, yeah,

1469
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,559

1482
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 1: second half of the per program. Here it's One Bills Live,

1483
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio

1484
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: back on One Bill's Live. Second half of the program

1485
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,640
Speaker 1: now under way here on a Thursday, as we're broadcasting

1486
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: live from the Seneca Studios in Orchard Park. Chris Brown,

1487
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, and time to get back to

1488
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet as we are asking you at one

1489
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,440
Speaker 1: Bills Live what you believe will be the most surprising

1490
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 1: element for people with the twenty twenty Bills. I kind

1491
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: of watch that a little bit. What element of this

1492
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: year's team, What element of this year's Bills team will

1493
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 1: surprise people the most? And we have choices there like

1494
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:58,480
Speaker 1: the D line sack production, Allen's accuracy, run game dominance

1495
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: or something else. Almost seven hundred votes in already, and

1496
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's accuracy is running away with it. I thought

1497
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 1: there would be more respect for the potential of this

1498
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 1: defensive line and it's sack production. And I think the

1499
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: one two punch, the anticipated one two punch, if Devin

1500
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: Singletary and Zach Moss would have gotten a little bit

1501
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 1: more representation here. But maybe because Zach Moss is a

1502
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: little bit more of an unknown to those not familiar

1503
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: with his college exploits, maybe that's why they they're lagging

1504
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 1: in the poll here. Yeah, And from the tweet sheet

1505
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,520
Speaker 1: from Alex, he says this, having your number one cornerback

1506
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 1: give up zero touchdowns is unlikely to be repeated. Also,

1507
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: we're facing a much harder competition this year. The schedule

1508
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: is different and that is the great unknown though, and

1509
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: it looks different if you project last year onto this year.

1510
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 1: But we can't do that either. I mean, some of

1511
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 1: these teams are gonna take a step back, some of

1512
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 1: them are gonna take a step forward. Certainly we all

1513
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: think the Bills are gonna take a little bit of

1514
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 1: a step forward. They were tough to beat. Last year,

1515
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 1: you think the forty nine Ers they shouldn't go anywhere, right.

1516
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 1: The Steelers are continually good if Ben Roethlisberger's there. The

1517
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: Broncos with with their quarterback situation, the Patriots are a

1518
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: question mark. The Dolphins are gonna take a step forward.

1519
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: It's hard to know how these teams are gonna come

1520
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: through last year and think you just can't predict how

1521
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 1: the toughest schedule is going to be simply because of

1522
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 1: this look last year at the Cleveland Browns, everybody thought

1523
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 1: they were gonna contend for the super Bowl and it

1524
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,640
Speaker 1: didn't wind up happening. But they're still one of the

1525
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: teams that beat Buffalo, Right, yeah, figure it out. So

1526
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:33,719
Speaker 1: even if it's a tough schedule, you end up winning

1527
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: two or three of the toughest looking games on the

1528
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: schedule then and those thirteen others to easier composition. I mean,

1529
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 1: it's that kind of stuff happens in this league. It's

1530
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: it's impossible to see how this the season's gonna go

1531
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:49,559
Speaker 1: in a general sense, because every game is completely different

1532
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: than all the others, and we don't know anything about

1533
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: what these teams are gonna look like when they kick

1534
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 1: it off right. And if there's one thing that he's

1535
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 1: right about, the receiving talent that the Bills are going

1536
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 1: to be facing this year is going to be off

1537
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,040
Speaker 1: the chain, right with the players that they are going

1538
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 1: to be going up against. And Davias White, I mean,

1539
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's the case every week somebody's got a

1540
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:12,679
Speaker 1: really good stud receiver, usually on just about every roster,

1541
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: but some of these receiving corps go pretty deep. I

1542
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: mean you can run down the list though, I mean

1543
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 1: a J. Brown with Tennessee, it's rookies in Las Vegas,

1544
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: but you're talking about Henry Ruggs and Brian Edwards, who

1545
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: was a receiver that I liked an awful lot out

1546
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 1: of South Carolina, the Rams with Woods and Cup and

1547
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 1: now they got that kid Van Jefferson who was lighting

1548
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 1: things up at the Senior Bowl when I was down there.

1549
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: He was impressive. You got two giant players in Miami

1550
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: and Preston Williams and DeVante Parker's size receivers that have athleticism.

1551
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 1: And we don't need to even run down the list

1552
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 1: with Kansas City, you know, Seattle, DK, Metcalfe, Arizona. My god,

1553
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,679
Speaker 1: you know, like DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk Hello,

1554
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and the Chargers right and then you know

1555
01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: San France is a little beat up right now. But

1556
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: even Pittsburg Juju Smith, Schuster, James Washington, Deonta Johnson, who

1557
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: might be one of the most underrated receivers in the league.

1558
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: And they also drafted Chase Claypool. It's hard to know

1559
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: what his role is going to be in that Steeler's offense,

1560
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: but they've got talent and depth. And then you know

1561
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: who everybody sleeps on the Denver Broncos, Courtland Sutton, Noah

1562
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: Fant the tight end. And then they just drafted Jerry

1563
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: Judy and kJ Hammler at a Penn State. I mean,

1564
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 1: suddenly they have weapons to work with. So yeah, I

1565
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: think it is going to be more challenging for the

1566
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 1: past defense, which is why I'm happy that it looks

1567
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 1: like this defensive line contingent is going to make life

1568
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 1: a little bit easy for them by getting consistent pressure

1569
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. Also from the tweet sheet, Tiffany says,

1570
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:48,080
Speaker 1: I truly believe we have two young, hungry runners in

1571
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: Motor and Zach Moss. Both players have a chance to

1572
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: contribute not only running the ball, but also catching passes.

1573
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,639
Speaker 1: By the end of the season, I bet combined both

1574
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,640
Speaker 1: guys could be near eight hundred to nine hundred yards

1575
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: each rushing for the season. Now there's somebody that thinks

1576
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 1: that the running game could take off. Everybody's talking about

1577
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 1: the passing game of the Bills and how it's going

1578
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 1: to take this giant leap forward. I think with the

1579
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: way they have positioned themselves in the offensive backfield, there's

1580
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: a very good chance this could be as balanced an

1581
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: offense as we have seen in some time. I think so,

1582
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: and I think last year you saw a trend where

1583
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:24,680
Speaker 1: teams could get some traction, like Baltimore and like Seattle.

1584
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 1: There are a couple of teams, not many, but there

1585
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: are a couple of teams out there who at Tennessee

1586
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,919
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season, teams had been evolving.

1587
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 1: Defenses have been evolving so fast away from four big

1588
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:43,759
Speaker 1: defensive linemen, three big linebackers, or three big defensive linemen

1589
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: and four big linebackers. You know, those seven man fronts

1590
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: that were built to stop the run first. Teams are

1591
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: getting away from that and putting more athletes on the

1592
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: field that could run in space because everybody's throwing the football. Well,

1593
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 1: now you got a guy with a pendulum. Now you

1594
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 1: got like Matt Milano, a two hundred and thirty five

1595
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: pound or who's got to take on a three hundred

1596
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: and thirty pound guard coming out because you're running the

1597
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,759
Speaker 1: ball forty times. That's an issue. That's what Jim Harbad

1598
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 1: did when he was in San Francisco. Yeah, with the

1599
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. He just said, all right, I'm just

1600
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: gonna get a bunch of three hundred thirty pound lineman,

1601
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 1: line them up and smash the hell out of you

1602
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: and run some play action. Yeah, yeah, and exactly any

1603
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 1: head Kaepernick as its quarterback who could out run most guys.

1604
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, that you win with what you got. But

1605
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:25,759
Speaker 1: if everybody in the whole league is building their defense

1606
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:28,639
Speaker 1: way where they're getting more speedy and a little bit smaller,

1607
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:33,600
Speaker 1: teams go big and just wear you down, that's you

1608
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 1: can do that if you got a good defense. Baltimore

1609
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 1: had one last year. Tennessee had a good one last

1610
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: year as well, so and of course Seattle. So those

1611
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:41,679
Speaker 1: three teams can get away with it, and that kind

1612
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 1: of reminds me of a certain team here one Bills

1613
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: Drive for the really good defense that can maybe let

1614
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 1: your team run the ball, like like Tiffany's alluding to

1615
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 1: here with Motor Singletary. By the way, happy birthday to

1616
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary today, five years old today. Yeah, so Zach

1617
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:01,759
Speaker 1: mosson Devin Singletary could be the engine of this offense

1618
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:05,560
Speaker 1: and win games that way, all right? From Nick, he says,

1619
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:09,480
Speaker 1: I think the biggest surprise will be our offense's versatility.

1620
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: Unlike last year, we can't be pigeonholed as a run

1621
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: first team. Alan is improved and he now has even

1622
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: more talent to throw to teams now can't just load

1623
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 1: the box to make allan throw it. Our passing game

1624
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:22,680
Speaker 1: will likely be an equal threat to our run game.

1625
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 1: That's what we were just talking about. This might be

1626
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,679
Speaker 1: the most balanced offense we've seen under coach McDermott because

1627
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 1: of the assets that they've added to both the passing

1628
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: game and to the offensive backfield. They have options, and

1629
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 1: they're not limited options. Like you didn't draft Zach Moss

1630
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: because he can just run between the tackles. You drafted

1631
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: him because he has an expansive skill set that when

1632
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: he steps on the field. You know, you go back

1633
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: to the days of the late nineties when Antoine Smith

1634
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,800
Speaker 1: was drafted by this team and Sam Gash was here.

1635
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: When Antoine Smith and Sam Gash came on the field,

1636
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: you know what was coming. Yeah, you're not throwing it.

1637
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,400
Speaker 1: It's a run play. Zach Moss comes on the field,

1638
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it's a run play because I think

1639
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 1: he's an underrated receiver out of the backfield, and I

1640
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 1: think we've seen the Bills use a healthy amount of

1641
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,600
Speaker 1: play action, knowing that Josh Allen has some of his

1642
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 1: most efficient play out of that. And so when you

1643
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 1: have a running back like Singletary or like Moss who

1644
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 1: has a receiving element to their game, it still keeps

1645
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 1: that defense off balance. Ever so slight mentioned it you're

1646
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 1: okay over there, You're you're falling apart. They're bad. That

1647
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 1: the fact that you have a two running backs, if

1648
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it by committee, what do they look like?

1649
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,919
Speaker 1: Do they look the same or do they look completely different.

1650
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: If they look the same, you become less predictable. If

1651
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,640
Speaker 1: they look different, you know, one guy's gonna use a

1652
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 1: certain amountmber of plays that excludes the plays the other

1653
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: guy might run. So if they're both kind of the same,

1654
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 1: which I think Devin Singletary and Zach Moss are close enough, well,

1655
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 1: now you still remain unpreble in your offensive play calling.

1656
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: So that's yeah, that's something that's in the Bill's favor. Okay,

1657
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 1: we need to take a break. When we come back,

1658
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: we will continue with your thoughts on the tweet sheet.

1659
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 1: We'll have some other items to talk about two, including

1660
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: some developments on the COVID front with respect to college

1661
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: football in the Big Ten, respectively. We will get to

1662
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 1: some of that breaking news, and we should also remind

1663
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: you that coming up at the top of the hour

1664
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 1: will be revisiting the two eleven Week three game between

1665
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Patriots, and we'll have a couple

1666
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:32,800
Speaker 1: of players who participated in that game helping relive some

1667
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: of the events that took place on what was a

1668
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: banner day at the stadium. We'll get to all of

1669
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: that and more coming up next here on One Bill's Live,

1670
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: presented by Collid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio

1671
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,920
Speaker 1: asking you at eight oh three five fifty eight fifty

1672
01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 1: two five fifty one element of this year's Bills team

1673
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 1: will surprise people the most. And we do have a

1674
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: caller on the line. It is one Carl in Tonawanda. Carl,

1675
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You got a surprise

1676
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:11,600
Speaker 1: element here that this team's gonna unleash on people and

1677
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:15,720
Speaker 1: surprise the heck out of you. Back what you know?

1678
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: Think about it? The defense is that gonna get better?

1679
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: Their number ten? Okay, I think it's eight, not a

1680
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: big surprise. The offense, sure, we got the mix to

1681
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: you know people in there, they might get the mid rings,

1682
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 1: but what's really gonna surprise? And I'm you know, I'm

1683
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,600
Speaker 1: surprised that you see that you can't say this this

1684
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:41,640
Speaker 1: is a special pea. We got a great kicker, we

1685
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 1: got better, We've got better. I think a Thomas running

1686
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: to be what are you doing on? Aren't we put

1687
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:57,720
Speaker 1: come on? What you think? Yeah, well that's that's not

1688
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 1: a bad one point, it's one we haven't heard yet.

1689
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 1: So it'll be thank you Carl for the call and

1690
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: chiming in on that might take on that special team.

1691
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 1: To Carl on your right, I think it is more

1692
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 1: difficult now to make an impact on special teams than

1693
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 1: it ever has been. Because they've devalued those you know

1694
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 1: so much, you got through the back of the end kickoffs,

1695
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 1: you don't get a cover anymore. Punts the clean hand.

1696
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: Ever since they brought in the clean hands rule, it's

1697
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: changed things for the kick kick coverage team, for the

1698
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: punt teams and punters. Not for punters across the league

1699
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 1: are vastly superior statistically to where they were when we

1700
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 1: were playing. When I was playing, um, it used to

1701
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 1: be nobody got up above a forty yard net punt

1702
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:44,440
Speaker 1: for the season. Then in about in the early eighties,

1703
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 1: then it started to happen once to watch it now

1704
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: now it's commonplace. Well, I remember when, I mean even

1705
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 1: probably right at the beginning of Brian Mormon's career when

1706
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,679
Speaker 1: he got here in one oh two, I want to say,

1707
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 1: there were probably three players in the entire league that

1708
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: had a net punting average of forty or more, right,

1709
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 1: maybe two or three, that's right. By the time Mormon

1710
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:09,719
Speaker 1: was at the end of his career here around twenty thirteen,

1711
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, they were like fourteen, right, And it just

1712
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 1: became the norm, right, And I'm like, what the hell

1713
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 1: just happened in the last ten years and the players

1714
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 1: have just become so supremely efficient and effective, you know,

1715
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 1: and consistent. Yeah, that's been the big thing. They're more

1716
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: consistent these days than they've ever been. You know, you

1717
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 1: get a guys and that's what Biorkes is, what's why

1718
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: they had, you know, a couple of guys in competing

1719
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:38,879
Speaker 1: with Corey Boorkez. He's just needs to be more consistent.

1720
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 1: He's got an enormous leg, no question about it, but

1721
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 1: he needs to be more on it every punt. Now.

1722
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:47,599
Speaker 1: It will be a surprise for me if this team

1723
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 1: gets deep and we get a guy in Tyler Bass

1724
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 1: like Gustkowski was, you know right from the get go.

1725
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,760
Speaker 1: He took over for Adam Vinetteri in New England and

1726
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 1: never let go. I mean he came and as a

1727
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,599
Speaker 1: rookie was great the whole time. So that's a guy

1728
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 1: that would be a great surprise to great find. He's

1729
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 1: got the big leg. It's gonna make a difference. And

1730
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: if he can hit on a couple of field goals

1731
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:14,760
Speaker 1: that you maybe wouldn't have tried with other guys, there

1732
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 1: you go. That's if he hits the clutch kicks, that's it.

1733
01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 1: But he is going to give you something on kickoffs,

1734
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: no question about it. And I mean, we can't forget

1735
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 1: this either. And this is probably why Carl feels this way.

1736
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:28,559
Speaker 1: This team made a pointed investment in their cover teams

1737
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 1: with Tyler Matakavic bringing Taiwan Jones back. I mean, the

1738
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 1: Panthers are getting ready to wave one of their regular

1739
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 1: core special teamers and Andre Smith last week, and the

1740
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: Bills are on the horn saying, hey, we'll give you

1741
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,479
Speaker 1: a conditional pick for this guy just so we make

1742
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 1: sure we get them. I mean, if that is not

1743
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,800
Speaker 1: a commitment to that third phase of the game, I

1744
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 1: don't know what is. Yeah, it's true, and that's gonna

1745
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 1: be the telltale thing. They got to find a place

1746
01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 1: on the roster for all these guys. Bam Johnson is

1747
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:58,080
Speaker 1: a guy that could be like, you know what, we

1748
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 1: gotta have that guy. Even in the depth, with the

1749
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,680
Speaker 1: depth and quality of the defensive line, Bam Johnson may

1750
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: make the team because he can run and cover kicks. So, yeah,

1751
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:11,640
Speaker 1: the special team should be better. You expect them to

1752
01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 1: be better, and I think they'll be better too because

1753
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 1: Heath Farwell's got a year under his belt as a coordinator.

1754
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 1: Now he said, he said last year, you know, he

1755
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 1: was still ye finding his way as his first coordinator's job.

1756
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 1: So this is a guy who's who's going to improve

1757
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:26,639
Speaker 1: himself as well. So yes, I agree, that's a that's

1758
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,760
Speaker 1: a good call by Carl. They will be better. My

1759
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: point is, even if they're markedly better, it's gonna be

1760
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:38,840
Speaker 1: harder than ever to notice because of the way the

1761
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:42,160
Speaker 1: game is structured around special teams these days. And you know,

1762
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 1: Tyler bass is a way to be better and help

1763
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 1: your defense more by banging it through the back of

1764
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,559
Speaker 1: the end zone every single time. So you're giving your

1765
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:55,679
Speaker 1: defense a guaranteed seventy five yards a field to defend

1766
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 1: every time you kick off, and when you have a

1767
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 1: top five defense, you're probably gonna hold that other team

1768
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,559
Speaker 1: down pretty darn well. You gotta like your odds, and

1769
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 1: I think too. There's been some times where it's my feeling,

1770
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:10,439
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta maximize every snap, and I felt

1771
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,000
Speaker 1: that way as a player. You gotta you gotta win

1772
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 1: every snap. When you're on special teams, you get you're

1773
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 1: gonna go over, You're gonna get you're gonna go over

1774
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:19,000
Speaker 1: the sidelines. And think about it, you know, think about

1775
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:20,800
Speaker 1: the next one. You're gonna get one shot at it,

1776
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:22,599
Speaker 1: and so make it. Make the most of it. Here's

1777
01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 1: one thing that I think that the Bills could do differently,

1778
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:27,200
Speaker 1: and I see other teams do it as well. I'm

1779
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 1: and for instance it happens. I don't know, every team

1780
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,000
Speaker 1: probably has a handful of these. You get on these

1781
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 1: touchdown celebrations in these tight games where somebody gets a

1782
01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:44,760
Speaker 1: little you know, bitter and they celebrate or they give

1783
01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 1: a little something, actually get a personal foul on the touchdown.

1784
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,320
Speaker 1: It's enforced on the kickoff and you're kicking from the

1785
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:53,840
Speaker 1: fifty and then the knee jerk reactions. Okay, now we'll

1786
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:55,439
Speaker 1: kick it out of the end zone. We got No.

1787
01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:00,240
Speaker 1: When you're kicking from the fifty, you hit that thing

1788
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:05,479
Speaker 1: high and just outside the numbers and you go down

1789
01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 1: to tackle that guy on the ten. Yeah, that's where

1790
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 1: it's that kind of ability and readiness to do that

1791
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,800
Speaker 1: and have faith in your coverage guys. That maximizes a

1792
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 1: special Teams are ap where you gonna say, listen, we

1793
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 1: got this one. Now they've got ninety yards to go,

1794
01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:24,200
Speaker 1: not seventy five ninety. Now we're that and now we're

1795
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: now we're deep in the game. We got the personal

1796
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: foul because we were mad because now the game is

1797
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:31,559
Speaker 1: really tight, or because it's you know, it's a tense moment.

1798
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 1: Now we maximize that rep and now it's back. Now

1799
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 1: the momentums back for us. That's what you got to

1800
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 1: be ready to do on special teams and some I

1801
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 1: was shocked at the number of teams they just kick

1802
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: it out of the end zone. Yeah, it's crazy. They

1803
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:46,800
Speaker 1: don't trust their they don't trust their kickoff guy. They

1804
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 1: do not or their coverage unit. So that's what that is.

1805
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:51,679
Speaker 1: All right, Steve and I have to take a break,

1806
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:54,879
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we are going to relive

1807
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:58,160
Speaker 1: the Week three game against the Patriots back in the

1808
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 1: two eleven season when the Bills sprinted out to a

1809
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: three and oh start, and joining us to kind of

1810
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,960
Speaker 1: walk us through it again will be one Brian Scott

1811
01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:11,160

1856
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:57,559

1857
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 1: two of the guys who had pretty big pack performances

1858
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 1: in that game. Guys, how the hell are you? We

1859
01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 1: haven't seen you in forever. A Happy Thursday, everyone, Happy

1860
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:14,080
Speaker 1: Thursday's the show. I feel good. Yeah, so good to

1861
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 1: see you guys, of course. And you know, let's just

1862
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:19,599
Speaker 1: kind of set the table a little bit here, Steve,

1863
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:22,760
Speaker 1: because for fans that may not have been old enough

1864
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:25,640
Speaker 1: to remember or don't have a great memory, you know,

1865
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:29,599
Speaker 1: this twenty eleven season got off to a rousing start.

1866
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 1: The team is just coming off a huge comeback win

1867
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:37,559
Speaker 1: over the Raiders, which was another Barnburner game and a

1868
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,719
Speaker 1: high scoring affair. And I think we all remember Ryan

1869
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick screaming like a girl after. I think it was

1870
01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:47,480
Speaker 1: the touchdown to David Nelson where his voice went frighteningly

1871
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 1: high and it was recorded because he was miked up

1872
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 1: and people didn't know what the heck happened to him.

1873
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 1: So here we come in the next week and it's

1874
01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:58,559
Speaker 1: Bill's Patriots, and we know how too many of those

1875
01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 1: games had gone and so I think there was this

1876
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 1: cautious optimism among the fan base. But my question to

1877
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 1: you guys is what was the anticipation like in the

1878
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:10,599
Speaker 1: locker room that practice week leading up to this week

1879
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:16,519
Speaker 1: three game. Well, Scot, I'll let you go first. Oh, well,

1880
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,599
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Well, for us, it was just an

1881
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:22,440
Speaker 1: exciting time. Any time we got a chance to to

1882
01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:25,599
Speaker 1: to square up against Tom and the Patriots, we were

1883
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,800
Speaker 1: always just excited. And I know history didn't really show it,

1884
01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, we were always fired up. And

1885
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 1: this year it felt a little different. Actually. A lot

1886
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:36,920
Speaker 1: of times we would go into it thinking we can

1887
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,919
Speaker 1: do this, um and you know the games were sometimes

1888
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 1: a lot closer than what the score led to. But uh,

1889
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 1: coming off of a big win against Oakland and going

1890
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 1: into this game, there was just a different feel to

1891
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,320
Speaker 1: to that season. And uh, and I think you know,

1892
01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: as the game went on, we we went down. You know,

1893
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 1: it was they we were, we were behind, and you know,

1894
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 1: we were able to turn the turn to turn the time.

1895
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:01,479
Speaker 1: I didn't come back and win. So it was just

1896
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:04,559
Speaker 1: a huge win and week for us, how about you, Yeah,

1897
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 1: I think so. On the offensive side of the ball.

1898
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we were feeling kind of good about ourselves.

1899
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:12,439
Speaker 1: We have been scoring points. We came back the week before.

1900
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:15,839
Speaker 1: Anytime you play up against the Patriots up there in Buffalo,

1901
01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like an added sense of

1902
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know what it is, what we'd even

1903
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 1: used for, but you guys, they still go through it.

1904
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:26,679
Speaker 1: Right now when it's Patriots week, it's like everything shuts down.

1905
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 1: It's Patriots week. That's all that matters. So in that week,

1906
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:33,320
Speaker 1: it just, like be Scott said, it felt like, you know,

1907
01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 1: we can actually play with these guys, and you know,

1908
01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:38,880
Speaker 1: we had to focus up, get ready for the game.

1909
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:42,720
Speaker 1: We felt like the Patriots, we're gonna score points. No,

1910
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, nothing towards be Scott, but they just they

1911
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 1: always do, you know, in defense, but they always do

1912
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: they score points. It really just came down to being

1913
01:39:50,920 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 1: able to make the plays. When you make the plays

1914
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, and that's what we

1915
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:56,960
Speaker 1: were able to do. And this is the old this

1916
01:39:57,360 --> 01:40:00,479
Speaker 1: you're playing these Patriots. This is you know, obviously Tom Radies,

1917
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:05,839
Speaker 1: this is the team with Welker, Gronkowski, Ocho Sinko, Danny Woodhead,

1918
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:10,720
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, Stephen They got some guys that are that

1919
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 1: were pretty renowned around the national football Again this game,

1920
01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:16,559
Speaker 1: Welker had twenty targets. I mean, we are you know,

1921
01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:19,679
Speaker 1: I mean there was makes you want to stick needles

1922
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:21,639
Speaker 1: in a voodoo doll, right, I mean, you hope the guy,

1923
01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, But that's the way that team operated, and

1924
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 1: it was just a clockworking. So what was the what

1925
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 1: was the mindset going in? You're gonna play these guys.

1926
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:31,919
Speaker 1: You know, Welker's gonna do that. You know, Ocho Sinko's

1927
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 1: on the field. Gronkowski is like nine feet tall, you know,

1928
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:38,400
Speaker 1: you know a little you know, talk about the scouting

1929
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 1: report trying to go up against this team. Uh, that was,

1930
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, a perennial Super Bowl contender. Well, on the

1931
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, it was make them beat us,

1932
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:51,400
Speaker 1: don't don't give them anything, don't give up the big plays,

1933
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:54,639
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, the Patriots they would always find

1934
01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:57,120
Speaker 1: ways to win. But there was also a lot of

1935
01:40:57,120 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 1: games that Patriots won where the other team just broke down.

1936
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 1: And so that was really the focus that entire week

1937
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:06,360
Speaker 1: was don't give up the big play, let them dig down,

1938
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 1: and that they're gonna beat us, make them beat us,

1939
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 1: don't give them anything. You know, they're gonna make some

1940
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 1: plays here and there, but but limited, you know, don't

1941
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:17,320
Speaker 1: let it get out of hand. You know, it's funny

1942
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:21,479
Speaker 1: when you name all of those guys, Steve, It's like, man,

1943
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:23,600
Speaker 1: I feel old now, you know, because there are a

1944
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 1: lot of people who don't even know, they don't even

1945
01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 1: really remember who Wes Welker was, And it's really Julian

1946
01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:32,639
Speaker 1: Edelman to the younger fans. Julian Edelman is that guy.

1947
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 1: He's been killing us for years. But before Julian Edelman,

1948
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:37,559
Speaker 1: there was Wes Welker, and he's the one that started

1949
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,000
Speaker 1: to name everything out in that slop position up there right,

1950
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:42,679
Speaker 1: and he scored the first touchdown in the game. Draydon

1951
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:45,080
Speaker 1: Florence kind of falls down on the route and so

1952
01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 1: it's a walk in for Welker to get up seven

1953
01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:50,320
Speaker 1: nothing and then Gronk scores back to back touchdowns on

1954
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 1: drives and suddenly it's twenty one nothing. Now Stevie gets

1955
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:57,559
Speaker 1: to touchdown to make a twenty one seven and it's

1956
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 1: late in the first half, okay, and Danny Woodhead's going

1957
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:04,720
Speaker 1: out in the right flat and b Scott's got him,

1958
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:08,640
Speaker 1: and fortunately for you, you get an opportunity kind of

1959
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:10,759
Speaker 1: handed to you there and you were able to react

1960
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 1: quick enough and get a pick, right. Yeah. So, I

1961
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 1: mean it was one of their their plays. Danny came

1962
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:19,599
Speaker 1: out of the backfield almost like a quick little check down,

1963
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: and you know, I was just trying to get out

1964
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 1: to him as quick as possible when I saw that

1965
01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 1: ball kind of just pop off his shoulder, pad Man,

1966
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:28,680
Speaker 1: I picked it up. I was trying to get up

1967
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:31,599
Speaker 1: and stay in bounds, but my momentum cared me out

1968
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 1: of bounds. But it was just enough of the momentum

1969
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:35,639
Speaker 1: because I think we took it down and we scored

1970
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:37,400
Speaker 1: on that, right. Yeah. You guys got a field goal

1971
01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 1: off that right before the rest of the game. Yeah,

1972
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 1: you got a field goal on that right before the

1973
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:42,599
Speaker 1: end of the half. Lindell put it up in three

1974
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 1: with three seconds left, and then suddenly, you know, a

1975
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,400
Speaker 1: twenty one point deficit was cut to eleven, and then

1976
01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 1: you guys get a pick coming out of the locker

1977
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:53,760
Speaker 1: room too on Brady, and then the comeback is kind

1978
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:56,160
Speaker 1: of on from there. And I don't know if you

1979
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 1: guys realized this, but Tom Brady in a New England

1980
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:03,840
Speaker 1: uniform only had six four interception games in his career.

1981
01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:08,280
Speaker 1: Two of them were against the Bills, including this one,

1982
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:11,599
Speaker 1: which is man. You know, that secondary when you look

1983
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:15,840
Speaker 1: back on it, Leotis, Drayton, Gee Wilson back there, Jay Bird.

1984
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:18,720
Speaker 1: You know, it was a really good secondary. And then

1985
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:22,200
Speaker 1: obviously that front four just getting pressure on, so you know,

1986
01:43:22,280 --> 01:43:24,479
Speaker 1: you really got it handed to those guys kind of

1987
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 1: kept Brady moving the whole time, tried to keep him guessing,

1988
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:29,640
Speaker 1: and obviously Tom he's always going to be Tom. But

1989
01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 1: it was just one of those days where we were

1990
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 1: getting able to get the best of them. Yeah, those

1991
01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 1: days don't come along very often, but just now in

1992
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: a year like this where there's not going to be

1993
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 1: any fans in the stands. I'll never forget because I

1994
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:47,639
Speaker 1: watched this game on the television and the crew did

1995
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:51,240
Speaker 1: a really nice job of showing the reaction of the

1996
01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:54,679
Speaker 1: because you know, by this time they're ten years into

1997
01:43:54,720 --> 01:44:02,080
Speaker 1: this run of Brady and people were absolutely losing their

1998
01:44:02,240 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 1: minds in the stands. You got co mean, it was

1999
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,479
Speaker 1: crazy in the stand you, I mean you remember that

2000
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 1: day and though because the last time they had beaten

2001
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:12,040
Speaker 1: him was the two thousand three game in the opener

2002
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:16,840
Speaker 1: when Brady also threw four picks um and and I

2003
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,599
Speaker 1: don't know what you guys, I mean just getting home

2004
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:22,040
Speaker 1: after that win, whether you're going home to family or

2005
01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:25,200
Speaker 1: your phone's blowing up. What was it like after the victory,

2006
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 1: like in terms of your phone up to go back

2007
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 1: to you know, the pick that be Scott had um.

2008
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:36,240
Speaker 1: It's funny. I was talking to one of my boys yesterday,

2009
01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 1: he's a high school coach down here, and we were

2010
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:41,519
Speaker 1: talking about just momentum shifts throughout the course of the

2011
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 1: game and how as a player, even as a fan,

2012
01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:47,040
Speaker 1: sometimes you can you can feel it, you know. And

2013
01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 1: it's like at that time when you caught that interception,

2014
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:51,880
Speaker 1: it was still like twenty one seven, but it was

2015
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 1: something about it where it was just like, oh man,

2016
01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:56,800
Speaker 1: you can actually feel it. And we've been on the

2017
01:44:56,800 --> 01:45:00,000
Speaker 1: other side of it so many times with the Patriots,

2018
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:02,679
Speaker 1: on the downside of it, where it's just like something

2019
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:05,040
Speaker 1: happens and then all of a sudden, the crowd is

2020
01:45:05,120 --> 01:45:06,920
Speaker 1: either in it or out of it, depending on if

2021
01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 1: you're home or away, and then it feels like they're

2022
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:12,599
Speaker 1: getting every bounce. The ref is giving them every call, everything,

2023
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 1: and it's like nothing that can go your way, right,

2024
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, And in that game, it was like almost

2025
01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:19,439
Speaker 1: everything was going our way because I remember at the

2026
01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:22,360
Speaker 1: end of the game on offense, there was a pass

2027
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:26,360
Speaker 1: interference that David Nelson got that went our way to

2028
01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 1: get us down right before the field goal, and David

2029
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:32,559
Speaker 1: actually ran the wrong route. He lined up in the

2030
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:35,559
Speaker 1: wrong place and ran the wrong route, and I ended

2031
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:39,120
Speaker 1: up having to line up. You guys, might hear my

2032
01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:41,840
Speaker 1: kids yelling in the background. I ended up lining up,

2033
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 1: and I lined up and I had to line up

2034
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 1: in his spot and figure out what his route was,

2035
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:49,640
Speaker 1: and then he ended up getting the past interference. But

2036
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 1: that's what it's crazy, man. It's like that day, everything

2037
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:55,280
Speaker 1: just happened to bounce our way, and that's how it

2038
01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:57,120
Speaker 1: is in football. The ball would bounce your way and

2039
01:45:57,479 --> 01:45:59,760
Speaker 1: other days it just doesn't. And we would probably be

2040
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:02,160
Speaker 1: if we didn't mention that Donald had a hundred yard

2041
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:04,400
Speaker 1: receiving game in that one, and the biggest play he

2042
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:06,040
Speaker 1: made was a forty eight yard or I believe it

2043
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: was down the left sideline. Do you remember that route

2044
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:12,920
Speaker 1: and how you won so early on it? Yeah, it

2045
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 1: was a stopping goal against Devin mccordy, And you know,

2046
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:19,280
Speaker 1: it's in scouting report. And me just knowing him from

2047
01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 1: New Jersey as he's you know, from down here in

2048
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:24,519
Speaker 1: New Jersey, I knew he liked to at that point.

2049
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 1: I think he was still playing corner at that point. Yes,

2050
01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:29,600
Speaker 1: he'd liked to jump routes, and so we ran a

2051
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 1: double move on him and it ended up working out,

2052
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:34,439
Speaker 1: and I caught the ball down the sideline and and

2053
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 1: that was, you know, I guess the rest is history.

2054
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:39,599
Speaker 1: But as you guys talked about afterwards, I actually went home.

2055
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 1: I went home right. I flew home after that game

2056
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,240
Speaker 1: because I think we might have went into a bye week,

2057
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:47,919
Speaker 1: So I flew back home, and I remember being in Fridays.

2058
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: I went to Fridays with my father, and I remember

2059
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: the game. The highlights from the game were on TV

2060
01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there with some people from here that

2061
01:46:57,360 --> 01:47:00,120
Speaker 1: didn't know me, and they were like, yo, this His

2062
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 1: kid looked at me, like the Patriots, I mean, the

2063
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,840
Speaker 1: Bills are actually good this year. And I was like, yeah,

2064
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:12,439
Speaker 1: they are actually good this year. Yeah, yeah, that number nineteen,

2065
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 1: he's pretty good too, I don't you may want to

2066
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:17,320
Speaker 1: keep an eye on it. And then we went downhill

2067
01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 1: from there. It was terrible, right, So now you go

2068
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:23,240
Speaker 1: look back on it, and you guys, you guys watched it,

2069
01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:25,479
Speaker 1: you experienced it, You've had your you've had You've gotten

2070
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 1: some shots in on this Patriot thing and that Tom

2071
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,759
Speaker 1: Brady and you said, he feels old. The guy's still playing.

2072
01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:36,640
Speaker 1: And now Gronk is back still playing at mccordy, is

2073
01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 1: still playing. Some of those guys have really put together long,

2074
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:42,680
Speaker 1: long careers, you know, you and you look back on it,

2075
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:44,960
Speaker 1: you think, how do you feel about it? Now? You

2076
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 1: look back onto so many years later, you know, it's

2077
01:47:47,320 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 1: almost a decade for me. You know when I came

2078
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:57,400
Speaker 1: into the league, b Scott was already ancient. Wow, look

2079
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna duck. Yeah, you've been in the league. How long?

2080
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:07,400
Speaker 1: That's crazy. And you know, even Brady Brady had been

2081
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:09,439
Speaker 1: in the league for years. Like I was watching Brady

2082
01:48:09,479 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 1: I was in high school. He was already in the NFL,

2083
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, and so to be on the field with

2084
01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:17,120
Speaker 1: him was amazing. And to see him still playing and

2085
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:19,280
Speaker 1: even really still playing at a high level and people

2086
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 1: try to you know, they talk about it falling off

2087
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, But for him, I still think

2088
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:25,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a good season at a high level

2089
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:27,439
Speaker 1: this year. With Gronk down here and the rest of

2090
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:30,320
Speaker 1: those guys, Devin McCarthy, all those guys are still having

2091
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:34,920
Speaker 1: good careers. Man. It's it's amazing at TV twelve. Diet, Yeah,

2092
01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:37,960
Speaker 1: it definitely is. And and so Tom me being a

2093
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,880
Speaker 1: Penn stater and Tom going to Michigan, we squared off

2094
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 1: when we were in college, and you know, they still

2095
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 1: see him doing and I'm really excited to see not

2096
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 1: just how he does, but Grunt coming back out of retirement.

2097
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 1: And the biggest thing is as long as you're having

2098
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 1: fun and you're healthy, then that's all that really matters.

2099
01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 1: So hats off to them. But it's also a testament

2100
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:58,639
Speaker 1: to how they lived their lives, not just on the field,

2101
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:00,880
Speaker 1: but off it. Just taking care of themselves, you know,

2102
01:49:01,120 --> 01:49:03,120
Speaker 1: being able to avoid that injury, buddy, which is a

2103
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 1: great thing. Yeah, b Scott, I do have to ask

2104
01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 1: you because I think we all know. The following week,

2105
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, Drayton Florence's interception return for a touchdown is

2106
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 1: what wound up on the cover of Sports Illustrated that week,

2107
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 1: at least regionally. Yeah, I don't think it was national,

2108
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:20,000
Speaker 1: but regionally that was the cover of Sports Illustrated as

2109
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:22,200
Speaker 1: Drayton's going into the end zone with I think what

2110
01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 1: was the fourth interception of the game. What's it like

2111
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:29,679
Speaker 1: in the defensive meeting room the following week or even

2112
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 1: the week after. I can't remember if you had to

2113
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:34,799
Speaker 1: buy or not when you know the defense gets the props,

2114
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: because I think we all know that offense tends to

2115
01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:39,439
Speaker 1: get more of the pub when a team's doing well

2116
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 1: and more of the love. So what was it like

2117
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 1: in the defensive meeting room that week when you see

2118
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:48,040
Speaker 1: Drayton Florence on the cover of SI. It was big.

2119
01:49:48,600 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 1: We had copies handed out to everybody and I let it.

2120
01:49:52,120 --> 01:49:54,680
Speaker 1: I put it right on my living room table. It

2121
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,360
Speaker 1: sat there neither the entire season. It was just a

2122
01:49:57,439 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 1: really cool feeling, you know, after that game, he talked

2123
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 1: about it. So even just leaving the tunnel, fans crowded around,

2124
01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:04,920
Speaker 1: you know how you walk out to your car afterwards,

2125
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:07,880
Speaker 1: and I mean I saw fans that were literally in tears.

2126
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:10,400
Speaker 1: You know, thank you so much. It was just a

2127
01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:13,439
Speaker 1: huge moment. But the thing about football is that you

2128
01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:15,479
Speaker 1: can never dwell on too long. So I can tell

2129
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:17,720
Speaker 1: you what we came in that next day. You know,

2130
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:20,120
Speaker 1: we went through our our film and then it was like,

2131
01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: all right, y'all, we gotta move on to the next

2132
01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 1: and then and the only other thing, sorry, Don, the

2133
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 1: only thing I wanted to run by you guys was

2134
01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:31,720
Speaker 1: you know you talked about how it went downhill. It

2135
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't go downhill right away. Donald. I mean, you guys

2136
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:37,680
Speaker 1: did get off to a five and two start, and

2137
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 1: then you know that injury kind of is what killed

2138
01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:44,759
Speaker 1: you guys. You know, Fitz has the injury with his ribs.

2139
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:50,679
Speaker 1: I think Fred breaks his leg, and it just seemed

2140
01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:54,360
Speaker 1: like the offense lost all of its traction and point

2141
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:58,879
Speaker 1: producing potential. Can you guys contemplate even for a second,

2142
01:50:59,640 --> 01:51:01,840
Speaker 1: if you didn't get bit by the injury bug with

2143
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:06,240
Speaker 1: some key offensive pieces, maybe how that season may have

2144
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:12,000
Speaker 1: unfolded differently. Man, m if we didn't have, especially on

2145
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:14,920
Speaker 1: the offensive side with Fits and Fred, if we didn't

2146
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:17,840
Speaker 1: have those are those obviously your quarterback ribs, and that's

2147
01:51:17,920 --> 01:51:19,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of tough to play through, you know, he

2148
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:21,920
Speaker 1: has to throw the ball. And then with Fred being

2149
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:25,000
Speaker 1: your your number one guy, the leader of the team,

2150
01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:28,120
Speaker 1: with him going down, it's hard to play through certain

2151
01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 1: things like that. Um the obviously, the great teams are

2152
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 1: the ones that are able to make it happen. I

2153
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:37,880
Speaker 1: think for us, um we were. We had we really

2154
01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 1: did have a young team at that time. We had

2155
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 1: some some ancient guys like the Scott but we had

2156
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:46,000
Speaker 1: a young team we had. I mean even still Stevie

2157
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:48,759
Speaker 1: Johnson was young. You know, he was really just coming

2158
01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:51,639
Speaker 1: into his self as a star in the league. And

2159
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:54,360
Speaker 1: I think it's one thing to start out hot, it's

2160
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:58,479
Speaker 1: another thing to now understand that, Okay, now everybody's gonna

2161
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 1: be gunning for you, and you have to do things.

2162
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:04,280
Speaker 1: You gotta you know, kind of hone in on the process,

2163
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:07,559
Speaker 1: moving down the line every game, weekend and week out,

2164
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:09,639
Speaker 1: even with guys going down, so that you can pull

2165
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:12,040
Speaker 1: through those victories. And I think we were young and

2166
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:15,519
Speaker 1: just weren't able to overcome, yeah, losing your quarterback or

2167
01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:18,000
Speaker 1: getting him nicked up, and then and losing the key guys,

2168
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:19,559
Speaker 1: particular guys like Fred was going to go to the

2169
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl that Freddy was killing it. The loss of

2170
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:25,439
Speaker 1: Freddy for a guy like that was particularly a guy

2171
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 1: like fred and I and I don't know, you guys,

2172
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:28,960
Speaker 1: tell us you know how important was his voice in

2173
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:31,200
Speaker 1: the locker room? Then just be plucked out, go go

2174
01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:34,280
Speaker 1: down with a bust leg and it leaves leaves a

2175
01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 1: hole in the conversation in the locker room, right, I

2176
01:52:38,080 --> 01:52:42,840
Speaker 1: mean you missed that guy. Yeah, so Stevie does. Um,

2177
01:52:42,880 --> 01:52:46,559
Speaker 1: but DJ just hit the nose. He was absolutely correct.

2178
01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:48,519
Speaker 1: Is that the great teams they figure out how to

2179
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,639
Speaker 1: just keep rolling and um? And I used to always

2180
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:53,280
Speaker 1: say this, and I think I got it from coach

2181
01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:55,880
Speaker 1: Tomlin that you have your starters and then on the team,

2182
01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:57,880
Speaker 1: and then you have your starters in waiting and those

2183
01:52:57,880 --> 01:52:59,880
Speaker 1: are the guys that aren't seeing the field, but they're

2184
01:52:59,920 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 1: just waiting for an opportunity. So when they see the field,

2185
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:04,320
Speaker 1: they got to step in and play just as well,

2186
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:06,880
Speaker 1: if not better than the guy that they replaced. And

2187
01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: injuries happen all the time, right, and yes, it was

2188
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:12,840
Speaker 1: a blow. I do think being young kind of played

2189
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:15,680
Speaker 1: a part in it because it was early on success

2190
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 1: and it was you know, with the injuries, But how

2191
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 1: do you refocus and regroup and and and just keep rolling.

2192
01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:24,080
Speaker 1: And that was something that we weren't able to do.

2193
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:26,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, we started really really fast, and I do

2194
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 1: remember there were times in the locker room where they

2195
01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 1: were talking five and two. Oh man, we just got

2196
01:53:31,479 --> 01:53:33,320
Speaker 1: to win a couple of more. You know, we're getting

2197
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:35,920
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, and it's like, no, no, no, we

2198
01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:39,759
Speaker 1: still have a whole other half of football to be played,

2199
01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:43,160
Speaker 1: you know. And and crazy things like that have happened

2200
01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:44,960
Speaker 1: where guys don't think they're gonna get in and at

2201
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:46,559
Speaker 1: the end of the season they get in. And guys

2202
01:53:46,600 --> 01:53:48,640
Speaker 1: that are hot, you know, teams that are hot, they

2203
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:50,600
Speaker 1: don't get in. So I do think that played a

2204
01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:53,599
Speaker 1: huge part in it. And then I remember real quick,

2205
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:57,919
Speaker 1: I remember yea go ahead. I remember just the national

2206
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:00,519
Speaker 1: media coming in town after that, you know, and that

2207
01:54:00,600 --> 01:54:03,400
Speaker 1: was the first time, this was my second season, just

2208
01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 1: national reporters coming in town, you see, like people that

2209
01:54:07,200 --> 01:54:09,840
Speaker 1: you see on TV. We were used to the local guys,

2210
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:11,760
Speaker 1: but now it was like national media. And for us

2211
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:13,439
Speaker 1: young guys, it was like, oh man, all right, this

2212
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:16,120
Speaker 1: is a little bit different than when we were you. Yeah,

2213
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 1: the one thing I wanted to touch on too. Was

2214
01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:20,519
Speaker 1: the play at the end of the game. So Fred

2215
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 1: makes that big play and initially he's called in the

2216
01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:28,200
Speaker 1: end zone touchdown, and then they mark him down at

2217
01:54:28,200 --> 01:54:30,760
Speaker 1: the one yard line. That kind of proved to be

2218
01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:32,840
Speaker 1: a blessing in disguise because you were able to kind

2219
01:54:32,840 --> 01:54:35,480
Speaker 1: of run the clock down so that Brady clock get

2220
01:54:35,480 --> 01:54:40,320
Speaker 1: another crack with the football, right, Yeah, yeah, it definitely

2221
01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:43,640
Speaker 1: wasn't it was it? You never want to give the

2222
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:46,880
Speaker 1: ball back to Brady. I'm sorry, I don't care if

2223
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:49,960
Speaker 1: everything is ruling your way, it doesn't matter. You rather

2224
01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 1: just have the ball to the end. So yeah, it was. Yeah,

2225
01:54:52,280 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 1: it's one forty five left. I mean, he's done a

2226
01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 1: lot of damage with a lot less time than that. Exactly, exactly. Yeah,

2227
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:03,840
Speaker 1: well there is I don't know if you guys have

2228
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:06,760
Speaker 1: this clip, but after Ryland Dell hit that field goal,

2229
01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:13,320
Speaker 1: being Mormon jumping up on his shoulders. Oh yeah, oh yeah,

2230
01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:15,839
Speaker 1: he ran track. He was like a hurdle guy in college.

2231
01:55:15,840 --> 01:55:18,760
Speaker 1: He almost leaped and standing when he was standing straight up,

2232
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, Mormon almost leap frog over him in the celebrate,

2233
01:55:22,480 --> 01:55:25,360
Speaker 1: right and uh yeah. And it's one of those games

2234
01:55:25,360 --> 01:55:28,760
Speaker 1: that for me, I played in him too, like they

2235
01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:30,720
Speaker 1: stick with you, those games stick with you, and I

2236
01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 1: think too from what you said, it almost it was

2237
01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:38,520
Speaker 1: one of those things where you were so so excited

2238
01:55:38,520 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 1: about that it was such a big win you almost

2239
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:42,880
Speaker 1: had a hard time gathering it back up because the

2240
01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:45,720
Speaker 1: next week you lost your first game going down to Cincinnati.

2241
01:55:46,360 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 1: And I think it's one of those things where you know,

2242
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:50,240
Speaker 1: you talk about the emotion of it, kind of sapping

2243
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:52,760
Speaker 1: it out of you. The national media coming in, you're

2244
01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 1: a little bit distracted. Uh you know, tell talk about

2245
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 1: you know what happens if you lose a close when

2246
01:55:58,200 --> 01:56:00,800
Speaker 1: or you play him tough? Is an almost better for

2247
01:56:00,920 --> 01:56:02,680
Speaker 1: you going forward because you know you've got to keep

2248
01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:04,240
Speaker 1: your nose on the grind center. Did you guys like

2249
01:56:04,320 --> 01:56:06,480
Speaker 1: to let your foot up off the gas and drop

2250
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:10,400
Speaker 1: the next one? No, we've been on both sides of that,

2251
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: winning that big game. But we've also been in the

2252
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:16,800
Speaker 1: games with the Patriots where we've we've lost nail biers

2253
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:21,560
Speaker 1: at the end and you know, man, y'ah, my goodness,

2254
01:56:22,080 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 1: but again, just finding the way and coaches will always

2255
01:56:25,680 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 1: tell you. Coach Gilly would always say it too, you

2256
01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:30,640
Speaker 1: can never be too high. You can never be too low.

2257
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:33,440
Speaker 1: You got to stay even killed, and whether it's a

2258
01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:36,360
Speaker 1: big win or a big loss, learn from it or

2259
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:39,520
Speaker 1: enjoy it for a moment, and then let's move on. See.

2260
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:42,240
Speaker 1: I think when when you are when you start out

2261
01:56:42,240 --> 01:56:44,720
Speaker 1: as hot as we did, and you know, we weren't

2262
01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 1: coming off of seasons where we were necessarily used to

2263
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:50,400
Speaker 1: winning games like that on a regular basis, and then

2264
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:52,640
Speaker 1: we start out so hot, and now the national media

2265
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 1: is in town, and now everybody's feeling good. Drayton's on

2266
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 1: the cover of SI You got Stevie is why so serious?

2267
01:57:00,040 --> 01:57:04,120
Speaker 1: All types of stuff. I mean, it's crazy. I think

2268
01:57:04,160 --> 01:57:06,160
Speaker 1: we were the goon squad on offense to all the

2269
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:10,520
Speaker 1: receivers and fits and Fred I think, you know, it's

2270
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:14,920
Speaker 1: a lot to deal with at that time, and so you, um,

2271
01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting calls at the same time one you know,

2272
01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:22,360
Speaker 1: on FaceTime. It's a lot to deal with. And I

2273
01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:26,240
Speaker 1: think that you you have to be able to, like

2274
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 1: be Scott said, you got to be able to just

2275
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:32,000
Speaker 1: stay even kill. Don't get too high, don't get too low.

2276
01:57:32,080 --> 01:57:35,360
Speaker 1: We were high after that game emotionally. I mean, I

2277
01:57:35,400 --> 01:57:37,600
Speaker 1: mean you go home and yeah, your phone is blowing up,

2278
01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:40,560
Speaker 1: but it's like, I'm my blood pressure was high just

2279
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:43,960
Speaker 1: because it's like, yo, you don't understand how that feels

2280
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:45,760
Speaker 1: being on the field out there, man. So now you

01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 1: Bryan Scott, Donald Jones joining us. Uh. And that was

2305
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:55,080
Speaker 1: a fantastic game. I still remember my wife Steve, when

2306
01:58:55,120 --> 01:58:57,320
Speaker 1: I got home after the game, you know, because it

2307
01:58:57,360 --> 01:59:00,320
Speaker 1: was a beautiful September day. People had their windows open.

2308
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:02,880
Speaker 1: It was like seventy degrees, which you know in late

2309
01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:06,240
Speaker 1: September is not a given here, as Donald Jones just

2310
01:59:06,280 --> 01:59:08,920
Speaker 1: alluded to. And I said, what was it like here,

2311
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, watching the game at home? She said, Chris,

2312
01:59:12,320 --> 01:59:16,120
Speaker 1: it was so loud. I could hear neighbors screaming in

2313
01:59:16,160 --> 01:59:19,000
Speaker 1: their homes all the way up and down the block

2314
01:59:19,600 --> 01:59:22,120
Speaker 1: because there was that kind of excitement. I mean, we

2315
01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:25,680
Speaker 1: can't forget the fact that Jane Daily came into twenty ten,

2316
01:59:26,120 --> 01:59:28,600
Speaker 1: the team went four and twelve, and now here they

2317
01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:31,120
Speaker 1: are in twenty eleven. They're three and ozero and they

2318
01:59:31,200 --> 01:59:36,560
Speaker 1: just beat the Patriots. So people were going bananas, and

2319
01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 1: She's like, I heard people up and down the block screaming,

2320
01:59:39,720 --> 01:59:41,720
Speaker 1: and everybody was in their houses, but you could hear

2321
01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 1: them because everybody's windows were open. It was crazy and

2322
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:45,840
Speaker 1: it was that kind of day. It was that kind

2323
01:59:45,840 --> 01:59:50,640
Speaker 1: of emotion, and it you know that team still is.

2324
01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:54,120
Speaker 1: Wins against that team are still few and far between,

2325
01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:56,240
Speaker 1: and that Bill's team was a fun team to watch

2326
01:59:56,960 --> 01:59:59,600
Speaker 1: on offense because they were putting up points. They beat

2327
01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:01,720
Speaker 1: the chief forty one to seven in Kansas City in

2328
02:00:01,760 --> 02:00:04,480
Speaker 1: week one. I think they won Week two, what was it,

2329
02:00:04,560 --> 02:00:08,120
Speaker 1: thirty eight, thirty five, and then week three thirty four,

2330
02:00:08,280 --> 02:00:11,200
Speaker 1: thirty one. I mean, they were fun and I remember

2331
02:00:11,240 --> 02:00:14,040
Speaker 1: fans leaving that building going, I think we're for real

2332
02:00:14,120 --> 02:00:16,800
Speaker 1: this year. I think we're for real. And then Fitz

2333
02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:20,640
Speaker 1: fractures his ribs, Fred breaks his leg, and the scoring

2334
02:00:20,640 --> 02:00:22,760
Speaker 1: potential of that team goes to hell in a handbasket

2335
02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:25,960
Speaker 1: really fast. So it was unfortunate because they were five

2336
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:27,920
Speaker 1: and two and the team ends up finished in six

2337
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:29,840
Speaker 1: and ten. Right, they beat the Yeah, they beat the

2338
02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:33,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs badly forty one seven. To open the season. They

2339
02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:36,640
Speaker 1: beat the Raiders thirty eight thirty five, and that game

2340
02:00:36,720 --> 02:00:39,240
Speaker 1: was fun. Then they scored thirty four to beat the Patriots,

2341
02:00:39,240 --> 02:00:42,320
Speaker 1: and then they lost by three in Cincinnati. Yeah, so,

2342
02:00:42,560 --> 02:00:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, tough way for the season to turn out,

2343
02:00:45,560 --> 02:00:47,720
Speaker 1: but man, that was a fun game. So fans will

2344
02:00:47,760 --> 02:00:49,920
Speaker 1: certainly have fun watching that, especially No One that it

2345
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:52,720
Speaker 1: ends up with a victory over the Patriots. And again

2346
02:00:53,040 --> 02:00:55,240
Speaker 1: that airing re airing of the game is brought to

2347
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:58,080
Speaker 1: you by Connors and Ferris. Steve and I have to

2348
02:00:58,120 --> 02:01:00,200
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we come back, we'll be

2349
02:01:00,280 --> 02:01:03,720
Speaker 1: joined by Amanda Farrell from Connect Life. She's coming up

2350
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:06,480
Speaker 1: next as we have some information on an important blood drive.

2351
02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:10,600
Speaker 1: Obviously during these COVID times, hospitals need blood and we

2352
02:01:10,680 --> 02:01:13,280
Speaker 1: want to talk to her about what you folks can

2353
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:15,080
Speaker 1: do out in the public to kind of help with

2354
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:17,480
Speaker 1: their efforts. That's coming up next here on One Bill's Live,

2355
02:01:17,560 --> 02:01:20,240
Speaker 1: presented by Collid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

2356
02:01:34,360 --> 02:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Chris Brown's getting Tasker back with you here on One

2357
02:01:36,640 --> 02:01:41,960
Speaker 1: Bills Live. And amidst this COVID pandemic, everybody's kind of

2358
02:01:41,960 --> 02:01:44,960
Speaker 1: working their way through things a little bit, and you know,

2359
02:01:45,040 --> 02:01:47,080
Speaker 1: things are coming up short here and there in one

2360
02:01:47,160 --> 02:01:51,080
Speaker 1: area that is to no surprise. In need of some

2361
02:01:51,160 --> 02:01:53,720
Speaker 1: assistance and some help from you in the general public.

2362
02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:57,200
Speaker 1: Is those people that collect blood for the hospitals, as

2363
02:01:57,520 --> 02:02:01,080
Speaker 1: connect Life is one of those outfits that is looking

2364
02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:04,160
Speaker 1: to get blood donations to kind of help, and they've

2365
02:02:04,160 --> 02:02:07,600
Speaker 1: got a one Buffalo blood drive running from September first

2366
02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:11,400
Speaker 1: to the thirtieth, so it's already under way. And joining

2367
02:02:11,480 --> 02:02:13,040
Speaker 1: us now to kind of shed a little bit more

2368
02:02:13,120 --> 02:02:16,240
Speaker 1: light on how you can help is our director of

2369
02:02:16,560 --> 02:02:19,600
Speaker 1: donor Recruitment at connect Life, one Amanda Farrell. So, Amanda,

2370
02:02:19,640 --> 02:02:22,720
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. How are you doing great? Thanks

2371
02:02:22,760 --> 02:02:25,080
Speaker 1: so much for having me appreciate it. Yeah, so why

2372
02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:26,920
Speaker 1: don't you kind of help us out and kind of

2373
02:02:26,920 --> 02:02:29,480
Speaker 1: getting the word out as to how people in the

2374
02:02:29,480 --> 02:02:31,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo and Western New York community can kind of help

2375
02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:34,720
Speaker 1: with this blood drive effort here over the next month

2376
02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:38,800
Speaker 1: or so. Yeah. So, you know, when we first entered

2377
02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:41,320
Speaker 1: the pandemic, which seems like seventeen years ago, it was

2378
02:02:41,360 --> 02:02:44,520
Speaker 1: just a few months we put out the plea for blood,

2379
02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:46,680
Speaker 1: and I mean Western New York in true fashion, came

2380
02:02:46,720 --> 02:02:49,880
Speaker 1: out in droves. But it's important that people know that

2381
02:02:49,880 --> 02:02:52,360
Speaker 1: the need for blood is constant and we have to

2382
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:54,120
Speaker 1: make sure that there's a ready supply of blood on

2383
02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:57,760
Speaker 1: our hospital shelves. So recently we have seen donations dip

2384
02:02:58,000 --> 02:02:59,840
Speaker 1: as well as unfortunately due to all a lot of

2385
02:03:00,120 --> 02:03:03,240
Speaker 1: lens in our area, the blood supply is greatly threatened.

2386
02:03:03,360 --> 02:03:08,280
Speaker 1: So we are so fortunate for our partners at One Buffalo,

2387
02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, Bill's Savers and all of you guys that

2388
02:03:10,920 --> 02:03:14,040
Speaker 1: are helping provide a little bit of incentive or bonus

2389
02:03:14,080 --> 02:03:16,800
Speaker 1: for donors to come out and donate. So we have

2390
02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:20,960
Speaker 1: three neighborhood donation centers as well as six other mobile

2391
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:24,240
Speaker 1: donation centers throughout the community to make it convenient for

2392
02:03:24,240 --> 02:03:27,120
Speaker 1: people to donate, and we've got some fabulous long sleeve

2393
02:03:27,200 --> 02:03:30,400
Speaker 1: T shirts. Together we win. It's in our blood for

2394
02:03:30,480 --> 02:03:33,240
Speaker 1: all of our awesome blood donors who come out nice.

2395
02:03:33,560 --> 02:03:35,960
Speaker 1: And I asked you, what have you noticed about the breasons?

2396
02:03:35,960 --> 02:03:38,440
Speaker 1: Perhaps people have changed, you know, the pandemic has changed

2397
02:03:38,440 --> 02:03:41,240
Speaker 1: everything have And I know that when you put the

2398
02:03:41,400 --> 02:03:43,440
Speaker 1: I went out and gave blood as well. But what

2399
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:46,160
Speaker 1: is hold what does hold people back? For the most part,

2400
02:03:46,480 --> 02:03:48,280
Speaker 1: Is it different now that we're in a pandemic or

2401
02:03:48,360 --> 02:03:50,640
Speaker 1: is it kind of the same thing only exaggerated? What

2402
02:03:50,880 --> 02:03:56,240
Speaker 1: holds people back from giving blood, you know, I think unfortunately, Steve,

2403
02:03:56,480 --> 02:03:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, not a lot of people go out and

2404
02:03:58,240 --> 02:04:02,560
Speaker 1: just think that that they're going to go and donate blood.

2405
02:04:02,640 --> 02:04:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, they may think that it's timely, time consuming,

2406
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, and I think especially with the pandemic, there's

2407
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:12,280
Speaker 1: such a heightened awareness on things being clean, sterile, everything

2408
02:04:12,320 --> 02:04:14,520
Speaker 1: like that. So, I mean, you know, from the very beginning,

2409
02:04:14,840 --> 02:04:17,800
Speaker 1: we have socially distanced all of our shares. We clean

2410
02:04:17,800 --> 02:04:21,360
Speaker 1: and decontaminate every surface after every donor touches it. We

2411
02:04:21,480 --> 02:04:23,920
Speaker 1: really stress again that in order to donate, you have

2412
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:27,640
Speaker 1: to be in good health and feel well. We're taking temperatures.

2413
02:04:27,720 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 1: We as staff. I'll have to have daily questionnaires and

2414
02:04:30,560 --> 02:04:34,160
Speaker 1: temperature checks. So really the safety of our donors is

2415
02:04:34,160 --> 02:04:36,320
Speaker 1: our utmost concern. We have to make sure that that's

2416
02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:38,880
Speaker 1: first and foremost so that we can collect that blood

2417
02:04:38,880 --> 02:04:41,600
Speaker 1: for the patients in the hospitals. And so you know,

2418
02:04:41,640 --> 02:04:43,480
Speaker 1: a little incentive of a T shirt goes a long

2419
02:04:43,520 --> 02:04:45,920
Speaker 1: way too. It's a nice thank you. And then I'm

2420
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:49,280
Speaker 1: guessing also Amanic, because I donated back in May and

2421
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:52,879
Speaker 1: the donation center that I went to was very strict

2422
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:55,560
Speaker 1: in telling you when you could actually come into the

2423
02:04:55,600 --> 02:04:59,080
Speaker 1: facility to keep the numbers down. And I waited in

2424
02:04:59,080 --> 02:05:01,320
Speaker 1: my car until they kind of texted me back and

2425
02:05:01,360 --> 02:05:03,240
Speaker 1: said come on. And I'm guessing you have some of

2426
02:05:03,240 --> 02:05:05,800
Speaker 1: those measures in place too to keep the number of

2427
02:05:05,840 --> 02:05:08,680
Speaker 1: people in the facilities down and kind of wait your

2428
02:05:08,680 --> 02:05:11,600
Speaker 1: turn kind of thing, right yep. So you know, we

2429
02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 1: really encourage donors to make appointments. It's very easy right

2430
02:05:14,840 --> 02:05:17,680
Speaker 1: on our website connect life dot org. We will take

2431
02:05:17,760 --> 02:05:21,080
Speaker 1: walk ins. You know. Again, unfortunately the centers aren't full

2432
02:05:21,160 --> 02:05:23,800
Speaker 1: like they were in May. People are getting back to work,

2433
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, trying to figure out what's going to go

2434
02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:28,680
Speaker 1: on with school, and donation isn't top of buying, so

2435
02:05:28,880 --> 02:05:30,800
Speaker 1: we want it to be. This is a great promotion

2436
02:05:30,840 --> 02:05:32,680
Speaker 1: in a way to be and we will make sure

2437
02:05:32,720 --> 02:05:36,200
Speaker 1: that we, you know, keep that social distance, keep donation

2438
02:05:36,320 --> 02:05:39,200
Speaker 1: safe for everyone. We're talking with Amanda Farrell, Connect Life,

2439
02:05:39,200 --> 02:05:42,560
Speaker 1: director of donor Recruitment, and one of the things that

2440
02:05:42,600 --> 02:05:45,240
Speaker 1: happened during the pandemic. We're all so preoccupied with one

2441
02:05:45,320 --> 02:05:49,720
Speaker 1: medical condition that was COVID nineteen, but for healthcare providers,

2442
02:05:50,080 --> 02:05:52,440
Speaker 1: everything else was still going on too. That the cancer

2443
02:05:52,520 --> 02:05:55,040
Speaker 1: hospitals the children that you know, the trauma centers, the

2444
02:05:55,080 --> 02:05:58,760
Speaker 1: emergency rooms, they were all still functioning just like they

2445
02:05:58,840 --> 02:06:01,360
Speaker 1: always did, although the traffic and then people staying at

2446
02:06:01,400 --> 02:06:04,600
Speaker 1: home kind of put a lid on that a little bit.

2447
02:06:04,640 --> 02:06:07,520
Speaker 1: But still all the other medical facilities needed to keep

2448
02:06:07,640 --> 02:06:09,760
Speaker 1: running and they needed blood to do it. Did you

2449
02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:11,800
Speaker 1: run into that and has and you said that people

2450
02:06:11,840 --> 02:06:15,440
Speaker 1: came out in droves. Have you seen a wave come

2451
02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:17,840
Speaker 1: through and then maybe now you need a second wave?

2452
02:06:19,040 --> 02:06:21,400
Speaker 1: You know, we really do to your point. You know,

2453
02:06:21,480 --> 02:06:24,720
Speaker 1: all the emergent you know, healthcare needs kind of carried

2454
02:06:24,760 --> 02:06:27,520
Speaker 1: on throughout the pandemic, but now a lot of surgeries

2455
02:06:27,520 --> 02:06:29,680
Speaker 1: are rescheduled, so that need for blood goes up. You know,

2456
02:06:29,720 --> 02:06:33,160
Speaker 1: people have battled, people have disasters in their daily lives

2457
02:06:33,200 --> 02:06:35,520
Speaker 1: all the time. There's chronic illnesses that you we may

2458
02:06:35,560 --> 02:06:38,360
Speaker 1: know nothing about. You know, children with different kinds of

2459
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:42,080
Speaker 1: anemia that need transfusions every two months for their life.

2460
02:06:42,120 --> 02:06:44,240
Speaker 1: So we need to make sure that that blood is

2461
02:06:44,280 --> 02:06:47,200
Speaker 1: available for them. And since donations have dipped and again

2462
02:06:47,320 --> 02:06:51,840
Speaker 1: surgeries violence illness has gone up, the blood supply, you know,

2463
02:06:51,840 --> 02:06:53,720
Speaker 1: we're in great need right now, especially going into this

2464
02:06:53,760 --> 02:06:56,600
Speaker 1: holiday weekend. All right, So the place to go to

2465
02:06:56,640 --> 02:06:59,800
Speaker 1: get more information for a donation center near you is

2466
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:03,400
Speaker 1: connectlife dot org. So go on the web address there

2467
02:07:03,520 --> 02:07:05,880

02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:11,400

2473
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:22,360
Speaker 1: guys for your support and for being donors. Yeah, no problem. Thanks.

2474
02:07:22,520 --> 02:07:25,440
Speaker 1: That's a director of donor recruitment, Amanda Faro with connect

2475
02:07:25,480 --> 02:07:28,480
Speaker 1: Life as they are running this one Buffalo blood drive

2476
02:07:28,800 --> 02:07:31,160
Speaker 1: from September first to the thirtieth, and they're doing it

2477
02:07:31,200 --> 02:07:34,640
Speaker 1: at all their connect Life neighborhood donation centers. I think

2478
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:37,480
Speaker 1: what you say. There's six donations, six mobile units and

2479
02:07:37,640 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 1: three freestanding brick and mortar units, and if you do donate,

2480
02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:44,120
Speaker 1: you get a free long sleeve shirt which our MSG

2481
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:46,960
Speaker 1: viewers are looking at now. It's pretty sharp. It's royal blue.

2482
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:48,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of in Bill's colors, to be honest with

2483
02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:50,440
Speaker 1: you and just says on the front together we win.

2484
02:07:50,640 --> 02:07:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm always surprised how easy it is when you do it,

2485
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, right, And I gotta say, when I did

2486
02:07:55,320 --> 02:07:57,280
Speaker 1: it back in May, it was it was really easy.

2487
02:07:57,320 --> 02:07:59,080
Speaker 1: You just go online. I did it on my phone,

2488
02:07:59,320 --> 02:08:01,760
Speaker 1: and you just edule of time for you to show up,

2489
02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:04,040
Speaker 1: so you're not sitting there and waiting. So you get

2490
02:08:04,080 --> 02:08:07,040
Speaker 1: there maybe ten minutes early. And I had to call

2491
02:08:07,080 --> 02:08:09,760
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I'm here. Is it okay to come in?

2492
02:08:09,800 --> 02:08:11,920
Speaker 1: They said, hold on, we've got six people in here

2493
02:08:11,960 --> 02:08:14,880
Speaker 1: donating right now, but wait in your car and we

2494
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:17,280
Speaker 1: will text you back or call you when you can

2495
02:08:17,320 --> 02:08:18,920
Speaker 1: come in. And so you just sit in your car

2496
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:20,560
Speaker 1: for five or ten minutes and they're like, okay, we're

2497
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:23,120
Speaker 1: ready for you. You come in, You do your tempionshire check,

2498
02:08:23,440 --> 02:08:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, and all that stuff. You're mashed up and

2499
02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:28,520
Speaker 1: you have your mask on the whole time while you

2500
02:08:28,560 --> 02:08:30,960
Speaker 1: know they're tapping your vein and off you go. So

2501
02:08:31,360 --> 02:08:33,200
Speaker 1: I was probably in and out in like twenty minutes.

2502
02:08:33,240 --> 02:08:37,080
Speaker 1: So they need blood, I mean, there's no secret about that.

2503
02:08:37,160 --> 02:08:39,560
Speaker 1: And if you're one of those universal donors, like a Typo,

2504
02:08:41,240 --> 02:08:43,840
Speaker 1: get in there help them out because they do need

2505
02:08:43,880 --> 02:08:47,720
Speaker 1: the blood. COVID hasn't gone away. Last I check not

2506
02:08:47,760 --> 02:08:49,760
Speaker 1: to mention the fact that all of the other mishaps

2507
02:08:49,800 --> 02:08:52,160
Speaker 1: that happened through the course of a normal year. You know,

2508
02:08:52,320 --> 02:08:54,000
Speaker 1: as you mentioned the people in the er is they're

2509
02:08:54,040 --> 02:08:56,080
Speaker 1: still working their hours like they always have. They're just

2510
02:08:56,120 --> 02:08:58,600
Speaker 1: doing it amidst COVID. And it's all starting to pick

2511
02:08:58,640 --> 02:09:02,040
Speaker 1: back up now as the screws start to loosen up

2512
02:09:02,040 --> 02:09:04,080
Speaker 1: and the society opens up, people are starting to do

2513
02:09:04,200 --> 02:09:08,040
Speaker 1: more elective surgeries and they're they're rescheduling operating rooms to

2514
02:09:08,080 --> 02:09:10,080
Speaker 1: get going again for surgery that need to be done,

2515
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:14,680
Speaker 1: even you know, and just doctor's visits. Everything's gonna pick up,

2516
02:09:14,960 --> 02:09:17,800
Speaker 1: and they need blood to get to keep it going.

2517
02:09:17,840 --> 02:09:19,600
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna switch gears in a major way

2518
02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:21,920
Speaker 1: here very quickly to NFL True Falls brought to you

2519
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:24,360
Speaker 1: by Yancy's Fancy New York's artists in Cheese and the

2520
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:26,960
Speaker 1: first one I'm gonna throw at you, Steve is actually

2521
02:09:27,080 --> 02:09:29,440
Speaker 1: number two on our list. The Jets will sign former

2522
02:09:29,480 --> 02:09:35,000
Speaker 1: Patriots wide receiver Mohammed Sanu true or false, just released

2523
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:38,080
Speaker 1: by the Patriots. He went to Rutgers in college, so

2524
02:09:38,120 --> 02:09:40,080
Speaker 1: he is a New Jersey guy. Not that that should

2525
02:09:40,480 --> 02:09:43,120
Speaker 1: be the main reason they sign him, say true, you

2526
02:09:43,160 --> 02:09:45,200
Speaker 1: think they will. I think they'll sign him. Take a

2527
02:09:45,240 --> 02:09:47,840
Speaker 1: look at him now, they may now he's not like

2528
02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:51,200
Speaker 1: a spring chicken. Yeah, I think he's on the wrong

2529
02:09:51,200 --> 02:09:54,240
Speaker 1: side of thirty actions. But I think if if they

2530
02:09:54,280 --> 02:09:56,640
Speaker 1: believe he can play or have something left in the tank,

2531
02:09:56,640 --> 02:09:58,520
Speaker 1: that they'll kick his tires. And now, I don't know

2532
02:09:58,600 --> 02:10:01,800
Speaker 1: exactly how they feel. The Jets feel about their wide

2533
02:10:01,800 --> 02:10:03,960
Speaker 1: receiver who maybe they're maybe they feel like they got

2534
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:05,520
Speaker 1: some guys in the wings. They're gonna step up and

2535
02:10:05,480 --> 02:10:07,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna be fine, and they don't want

2536
02:10:07,520 --> 02:10:09,440
Speaker 1: to muddy the waters this lad in training camp. But

2537
02:10:09,480 --> 02:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I would say if they do, I think it bodes

2538
02:10:14,240 --> 02:10:16,760
Speaker 1: well for the Bills in the AFCAST because it means

2539
02:10:16,800 --> 02:10:19,080
Speaker 1: they have not found anybody in their training camp that

2540
02:10:19,120 --> 02:10:20,840
Speaker 1: they like that much. Well, I think it's true. I

2541
02:10:20,840 --> 02:10:23,600
Speaker 1: think they will look to sign him as well. He's

2542
02:10:23,640 --> 02:10:26,920
Speaker 1: got one of the lowest drop rates of any receiver,

2543
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:29,440
Speaker 1: almost a year over year. He's a very sure handed player,

2544
02:10:29,440 --> 02:10:31,720
Speaker 1: and that's going to help that offense be efficient if

2545
02:10:31,760 --> 02:10:34,320
Speaker 1: he's added to it and be an extra safety valve

2546
02:10:34,280 --> 02:10:36,760
Speaker 1: for Sam Darnold. If they can make it happen. So

2547
02:10:36,880 --> 02:10:40,560
Speaker 1: I will say true, they will try to sign Mohammed

2548
02:10:40,600 --> 02:10:43,040
Speaker 1: Sanu the second one real quick. Derek Carr will be

2549
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:46,360
Speaker 1: looking over his shoulder at Marcus Mariota. Now, the shoe

2550
02:10:46,400 --> 02:10:48,440
Speaker 1: was on the other foot last year because Mariota was

2551
02:10:48,480 --> 02:10:50,520
Speaker 1: looking over his shoulder and Ryan Tannehill came in and

2552
02:10:50,600 --> 02:10:53,880
Speaker 1: we all know how that went down in Tennessee. Is

2553
02:10:53,880 --> 02:10:56,560
Speaker 1: the shoe on the other foot here? No, he's not

2554
02:10:56,600 --> 02:10:58,880
Speaker 1: looking over mark. Let me just tell you that Marcus Mariota.

2555
02:10:59,200 --> 02:11:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if Marcus Mariota wants to play. Yeah,

2556
02:11:02,400 --> 02:11:05,440
Speaker 1: he wants to. He signed to be a backup. He

2557
02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:08,040
Speaker 1: was the first pick of the draft and signed to

2558
02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:12,360
Speaker 1: be a backup after his rookie deal was up. I

2559
02:11:12,400 --> 02:11:13,960
Speaker 1: guess that's all he didn't want. He didn't want to

2560
02:11:13,960 --> 02:11:16,240
Speaker 1: go anywhere to compete. So you don't think Derek's got

2561
02:11:16,240 --> 02:11:19,120
Speaker 1: any reason to be worried about now, I will say true.

2562
02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:21,200
Speaker 1: I will say false as well. I don't think he's

2563
02:11:21,200 --> 02:11:23,720
Speaker 1: gonna be looking over his shoulder at Derek Carr or

2564
02:11:23,920 --> 02:11:27,240
Speaker 1: at Marcus Mariota. I think Derek is a better player,

2565
02:11:27,320 --> 02:11:31,560
Speaker 1: with a better arm um, better leadership skills, probably better

2566
02:11:31,600 --> 02:11:34,840
Speaker 1: leadership skills as well. Mariota just isn't that fire and

2567
02:11:34,880 --> 02:11:37,320
Speaker 1: brimstone kind of guy. He's a nice guy, nicest guy.

2568
02:11:37,320 --> 02:11:41,520
Speaker 1: You always a wonderful guy, but nice guys usually finished last,

2569
02:11:41,600 --> 02:11:45,160
Speaker 1: especially in an environment like the NFL am I right,

2570
02:11:45,440 --> 02:11:48,600
Speaker 1: well the time, he's a little bit he's a little

2571
02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:50,200
Speaker 1: bit different kind of guy. Like we were talking about

2572
02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:52,680
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen being. He's just not that guy. That guy's

2573
02:11:52,720 --> 02:11:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna he's a quiet as a quarterback. You can't be

2574
02:11:56,920 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 1: a quiet guy and have command of the room. You

2575
02:11:59,360 --> 02:12:02,280
Speaker 1: can't command any thing when you're silent. So there you go.
