00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of One Bill's Life, the Usain

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Bold version of our daily show One Bills Live, where

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: we get you in and out in about thirty to

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: forty minutes. The Numbers Game will assess the best NFL

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: playoff clubs with the best scoring defense. QB Summit consultant

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer tells us what changed the most for Josh

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: Allen in year three, and we ponder our one burning question,

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: will Brian Dable be an NFL head coach in twenty

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: twenty one? Let's pot it up at a Steve Tasker

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique.

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role players for you, Steve,

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the stratosphere of normalcy.

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown. Steve Tasker here. Welcome to One Bill's Life

14
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Playoff edition. The Bills host the Indianapolis Colts in the

15
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: AFC wild Card matchup between the two and seven seeds. Steve,

16
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: what speaks to you most about this matchup? Interesting matchup

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: for the Bills that come in on a role very

18
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: high flying off and scorn forty points plus a game

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: almost almost forty points a game beating their last five

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: or six opponents by double digits and actually ironically helping

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: the Colts make it by beating Miami in Week seventeen.

22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: So the Colts coming in here with a really good

23
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: running game, of very athletic playmaking defense, and a Hall

24
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,279
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback and eleven win team as the seven seed.

25
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: The AFC was really stacked this year with a lot

26
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: of good football teams. Yeah, I think you'd be hard

27
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: pressed going back finding an eleven win team, even in

28
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: the old playoff format as a number six seed. They're

29
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: probably few and far between. I'm sure there are examples,

30
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: but you can probably count them on one hand. This

31
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: is a seven seed team. Yeah, as amazing. That's my believable.

32
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: There's a ten win team sitting home in the Miami Dolphins.

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are the eight seed in the conference with

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: ten wins. That's it's pretty unusual. The AFC was really

35
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: really on a roll this. I mean, it basically means

36
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: half of your conference had ten wins or more. It's crazy.

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: I kind of see this game as an interesting one too.

38
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: The Vegas oddsmakers have the Bills as a six and

39
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. The over under is fifty one

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: and a half, so they are expecting a relatively I

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: don't know if you'd call that a high scoring game,

42
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: but with the way this league has gone this season,

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: the highest scoring total point total for the league as

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: a whole in league history, but with a fifty two

45
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: point total, I'm kind of hoping for a Bill's victory

46
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty one to twenty, which

47
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: I think is is very reasonable. The other interesting thing,

48
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: Steve players of the Month, So Josh Allen wins AFC

49
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Month for the month of December,

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: DeForest Buck Defensive Player of the Month for the AFC

51
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: for December, and Jonathan Taylor AFC Rookie of the Month

52
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: for the month of December. So some high flying individual

53
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: players coming into this matchup as well. Now, as we

54
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: begin the playoff, Steve, we start with defense. We frequently

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: hear the mantra that defense wins championships. That may not

56
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: seem to hold much water these days in the NFL,

57
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: coming off this historic scoring season, and in fact, it

58
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: has not held up all that often for the last

59
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: twenty years in the NFL. Since two thousand and two,

60
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: only seven teams that led the league in scoring defense

61
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: have gone on to appear in the Super Bowl. So

62
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: league leading scoring defense, best defense in terms of points allowed.

63
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: They've only gotten to the Super Bowl seven times in

64
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: the last eighteen years. So the numbers game challenge for

65
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: you one, Steve Tasker, can you name the seven number

66
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: one scoring defenses since two thousand and two that made

67
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: it to the Super Bowl. This is not easy. We're

68
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: going over eighteen years of history here, So I guess

69
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: put your thinking cap on and say to yourself, what

70
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: are the really good defenses over the last eighteen years

71
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: they got to the Big Game? First up, the Ravens, Well,

72
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens were in two thousand, were starting in two

73
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: thousand and two. Didn't they win the Super Bowl? They

74
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: did win the Super Bowls and they were the number

75
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: one defense the league currently. What about two eleven or

76
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: would when they beat Kaepernick in the nine two thousand

77
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: and twelve Super Bowls? No, they were not the number

78
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: one scoring defense in the league. That's a good guest though.

79
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Seattle Seahawks in twenty thirteen and twenty fourteen,

80
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 1: you know they got to back to back Super Bowls.

81
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: Only one one of them they got to two. Yeah,

82
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: so that's all right. So that's the one. All right,

83
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: Let's see, how about we remember they didn't give Marshawn

84
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: Lynch the ball at the goal line and cost Denver Broncos.

85
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos not on the list as the number

86
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: one scoring defense. I believe they the number one total

87
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: defense a year that they made it. See, that's the

88
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: that's killing me, the scoring defense, right, And it's because

89
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: it's one you don't often think of. You here teams say, oh,

90
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: they were the number one defense in the league. That's

91
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: usually based on total defense yards allowed. So this is

92
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: what makes this one a little trickier. This is going

93
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: to be squashing. We're gonna but I think if I think,

94
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: if you think of historic defenses over the last eighteen years,

95
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: you'll probably find you've got two of the seven already

96
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: because Seattle gave you two. There's enough. I'll give you

97
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: a hint. There's another defense. There's another team I should

98
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: say that was number one in scoring defense that made

99
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: it twice. New York Giants, not the New York Giants, No,

100
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Yes, New England twice. Once in two

101
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: thousand and three when they beat Carolina, then again in

102
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen with the famous comeback on Atlanta. So you've

103
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: got four out of seven then, all right, I will

104
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: say stealers. Stealers are the other two two thousand and

105
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: eight when they beat Arizona and two ten when they

106
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: lost to Green Bay. You've got one left, Steve. I

107
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: believe in you. You can do this. Number one scoring defense,

108
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: a team that was probably carried to the Super Bowl

109
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: by their defense. And I'll give you another hint. They

110
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl as well that year, Tampa Bay.

111
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay two thousand and two defeated Oakland. Well done, Steve,

112
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: I love myself. Now the question is because there is

113
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: a team in this year's playoffs that's number one in

114
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: scoring defense. As we know, the Bills dethroned Miami from

115
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: having that title with the fifty six point outburst in

116
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: Week seventeen. This team vaulted into the number one spot

117
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: right at the end of the season, and they are

118
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: in this year's playoff field. I will say that, all right,

119
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take my first year without even looking at

120
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: the stands so I can get to remind myself of

121
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: the who's in the playoffs. In the playoff conferences, I

122
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: will say Rams. It is the La Rams. So they

123
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: are number one in scoring defense. I believe they're number

124
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: one in total defense too, and so the opportunity is

125
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: there for them to become the eighth I'm the eighth

126
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: playoff to any of those right that was number one

127
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: in scoring defense to try to get all the way

128
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. I don't know that they're going

129
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: to get there with the way Jared Goff is playing

130
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: right now, but that's neither here nor there. They have

131
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: a tough road matchup at Seattle in the wild card

132
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: round this weekend. Nice job there, Steve was, Yes, yeah,

133
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: far my most surprising performance that if you want to

134
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: characterize it that way, that's fine. Second part of the

135
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: numbers game, Steve involves the winningest playoff quarterbacks in NFL history,

136
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: Guys with the most playoff wins. Now, since the guy

137
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: at the top of the list is a layup, I'll

138
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: give him to you. It's Tom Brady, the winning is

139
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: quarterback in playoff history of Tampa Bay quarterback thirty wins

140
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: in his career. That's impressive. So Steve, can you name

141
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: the next five quarterbacks on the all time playoff win

142
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: list Montana Montana is correct. Sixteen wins. He is second,

143
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: right behind Brady Aikman. Aikman is not on this list.

144
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: I was surprised myself. Bradshaw. Terry Bradshaw's next with fourteen victories.

145
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: Fourteen victories, Yeah, Terry Bradshaw, fourteen playoff victories. He is third,

146
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: He's I should say, he's tied for third with two

147
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: other players. Fourteen Yeah, what was yes, Saday, Jim Kelly,

148
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: not Jim Kelly. No, Steve Young. It is not Steve Young.

149
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: Really no, Please, got guys with long careers, lots of playoffs. Burger,

150
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: lots of Roethlisberger is on the list. He's behind this

151
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: group with thirteen and obviously could add to that total. This. Wow,

152
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: so these are all these are all Hall of famers?

153
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: Are they modern? I mean, like semi modern? You know

154
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: they're not just GM? No? No, okay, you know all

155
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: these people all right? M hmm. I think you might.

156
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: I think you might know. It's not Drew You're gonna

157
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: kick yourself. You're not. Come on, put your head, put

158
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: your You're you're smarter than this. I know you are.

159
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, thank you for your faith. Yes. Uh,

160
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: in my ignorant, you are smarter than this. Think about

161
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: people that have appeared in a lot of Super Bowls

162
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. I'll give you a hint. All of

163
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks have won Super Bowls. Russ Wilson, not Russell Wilson. Oh,

164
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. Hayton Manning is one? Yes for then I

165
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: will say how you're on the right track. Eli is

166
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: not Eli Manning. No. The thing that people forget about

167
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: Eli Manning is he had two historic super Bowl playoff runs.

168
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: I think he only went to the playoffs once or

169
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: twice more in his entire career, and they had early exits. So, oh,

170
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers not Aaron Rodgers. No Favers. Brett Favre is

171
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: on the list. He has thirteen. He and Roethlisberger tied,

172
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: So you have one left. And where does he standing

173
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: on the list? He this guy is tied with Terry

174
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Bradshaw for third and Peyton Manning with fourteen playoff victories.

175
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: Why did I say, Steve Young? You did and you

176
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: were incorrect. Wow, quick on the buzzer. Those guys, come on.

177
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: You know this guy, he played in a lot of

178
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Steve and his name is not Jim Kelly.

179
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: It's not Aikman. You know, Joe Mortana. I said, Bradshaw.

180
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm stunned this name has escaped. You played in a

181
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: bunch of Super Bowls, I said, Bradshaw. You did say Bradshaw.

182
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: This guy played in more Super Bowls than Bradshaw. What?

183
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: Oh Elway, John Elway? Yes, he is four. I told

184
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: you you'd be mad at yourself. All right, good job.

185
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: So Ben Roethlisberger is the guy that can climb this

186
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: list if the Steelers can win a couple of playoff games.

187
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: If he wins two playoff games, Steve, he could move

188
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: into third all time, behind Brady and Montana only for

189
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: most playoff wins. That's big. That that is big. I

190
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: think it's a big deal. That's big. And you know

191
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: he's won two Super Bowls, but I think that would

192
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: be a huge jump for I mean, yeah, he's going

193
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame anyway, but that would be impressive.

194
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he had accumulated that many. Yeah, but

195
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: that's with the Steelers team. They go in you know,

196
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: they're in it every year they're in the playoffs. Seems

197
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: like or on a regular basis and you play that

198
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: long yeah, no question. All right, good job on numbers

199
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: game this week. Ste If you're getting better and better

200
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: at this, I do have to say time now, though,

201
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: for our sit down with QB Summit consultant Jordan Palmer,

202
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback for seven years. He's worked with Josh

203
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: Allen in each of his first three NFL off seasons.

204
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: He has some great insight on what has led to

205
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's MVP worthy seasons. The Bills have been scored

206
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: a lot of points on these teams. Let's just jump

207
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: right into it. Jordan, First of all, thanks for being

208
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: on the Bills have been on an unbelievable pace the

209
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: red zone and Josh doesn't turn it over down there.

210
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: You went through it like why give us an from

211
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: an offensive coaches standpoint, why or a defensive to coaches standpoint,

212
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: why the Bills are such a handful in the red

213
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: zone down close? Well, you know one of the things

214
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: is let's put our let's all say that we're all

215
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators here, okay, and we got to play the Bills,

216
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: which would be the last team I'd want to play

217
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: right now, When are you get in the red zone. Obviously,

218
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: getting the quarterbacks sacked, getting him hit, getting the quarterback

219
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: on the ground, that's where turnovers can happen, That's where

220
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: bad decisions can happen, that's where inaccuracy can happen. So

221
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: getting around the quarterback as a defense is huge in

222
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: the red zone when they're just particularly on third down.

223
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: But you can't rush the pastor if the quarterback is

224
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: a threat to run, which obviously Josh is. And even

225
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: when he struggled a little bit his rookie year, he

226
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: was still running fessions right, So when you have a quarterback,

227
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: you have to respect his ability to run. You can't

228
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: rush the pastor of the exact same way. And then

229
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: when you have a guy like Brian Dable who's he's

230
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: not just forcing it to step on digs when they

231
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: get in the red zone, he's not just lining up

232
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: and running it down their throat. They throw it to

233
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: all the tight ends, they throw it to all the receivers,

234
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: they throw it to all the running backs, they throw

235
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: it to the quarterback when you have to defend every

236
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: single skill, and I believe Josh is throwing it to

237
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: a tight end or two, or to a tackle or

238
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: two as well. Tackle eligible, So when you literally have

239
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: to defend every eligible receiver at all times and try

240
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: and sack the quarterback while not giving up your pass

241
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: rush lean so because the quarterback's going to jog it

242
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: in or jump over somebody or stiff arm somebody, and

243
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: the run game, I just don't really know what you

244
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: do to defend it because Josh also doesn't turn it

245
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: over and so in the red zone, I think it's zero.

246
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: So as a defensive coordinator's perspective, I'm just not really

247
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: sure what your game plan is going into playing the

248
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: Bills once they crossed the twenty. However, whatever the plan is,

249
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: it's not foolproof, that's for sure against this group. I

250
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: was fascinated, Jordan by a conversation that I heard Josh

251
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: have on the Pat McAfee show, The Former Punner, where

252
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: he talked to him about how he had his throwing

253
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: motion digitally mapped. So my question is, were you the

254
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: guys that did that with him, and if so, maybe

255
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: just kind of relay that story to us, because I

256
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing that he took out of that

257
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: was he was using basically zero hip drive in his

258
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: initial throwing mechanics. Yeah, so that was that was my group,

259
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: and I was able to partner with somebody who has

260
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,479
Speaker 1: an amazing technology that really football is behind. In baseball,

261
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: they use a lot of this, a lot of biomechanics

262
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: and measuring things like your kinematic sequence, your hip firing,

263
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: your shoulder, and then your lever which is in a

264
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: thrower as their arms in golf. This is old technology

265
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: in golf. The best the golfers on tour, male and female,

266
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: they hid in simulators. I mean I got rich friends

267
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: that have golf simulators. I mean, that's that's normal for golf.

268
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: For quarterbacks, it's not really normal. And so I was

269
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: able to really partner with guys who do have golf

270
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: and baseball backgrounds, and we're able to map things out. Now.

271
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: Josh found out some things and it was helpful. And

272
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: I keep hearing my name talked about all the time,

273
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: and I've done media and I'm happy to do it.

274
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting way too much credit for Josh's year. This

275
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: has to do with Josh solving things himself, Josh making

276
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: the plays, and then Brian Dable and Ken Dorsey building

277
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: a plan around him that works. The conversations he has

278
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: with Matt Barkley, you know the week and on the

279
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: sideline neck Josh is in a very very good spot

280
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: where he's got a lot of really smart people and

281
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: then he's actually doing it himself. So I will say this, Yes,

282
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: we did a ton of work this offseason and we

283
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: were able to kind of solve for some things. But

284
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: my name's getting thrown in their way too often because

285
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: this was all Josh's work and the Buffalo Bill's staff.

286
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: But with that being said, the really exciting thing is

287
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: some of the things that we found out really won't

288
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: be addressed until this coming off season. So you think

289
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: about this growth, this growth, this game. I'm not creating

290
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: expectations here. Josh has handah at himself, but there's a

291
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: ways to go, and I think we're not even close

292
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: to the ceiling. And Josh has always been incredibly talented.

293
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: He's always had an amazing skill set. He doesn't just

294
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: have a rocket arm. He's always had touch too, accuracy,

295
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: and these things have certainly been getting better. But I

296
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is the credit goes to Josh,

297
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: because Josh is just seeing things, so clearly he's not

298
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: I had a conversation with a mutual friend of Josh

299
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: and I who's another player in the league. And one

300
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: of the things that he says he's watching Josh is

301
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: he goes it's not that Josh isn't throwing picks. It's

302
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: that none of the balls are even in jeopardy of

303
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: being picked. It's not like he hasn't thrown very many

304
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: picks because everyone's dropping them, which happens sometimes the balls

305
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: is not put in harm's way. So there's been some

306
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: mechanical things that Josh did, and he put a lot

307
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: of work in and the staff stone amazing job, and

308
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: I know busted my tail to help him out as

309
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: much as I could. But it's really a combination of

310
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: a lot of things, and Josh is really the reason

311
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: for it. He's the one doing the work. He's the

312
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: one executing. He's the one working tirelessly when no one

313
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: knows he's even doing it, and he's reaping the benefits

314
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: and those mafias as well. I wanted to follow that

315
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: up with the ceiling question. I mean, you just you

316
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: open the door, so I'm going to walk through it here.

317
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: You said he still has stuff that you guys discovered

318
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: that he's going to work on this coming off season.

319
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, and the humongous jumps that

320
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: he's made, like we had Brian Billikon about a month

321
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: or two ago and I asked him if he had

322
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: ever seen a quarterback make a jump in complete percentage

323
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: like this, and he said, forty years in football, I've

324
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: never seen a jump to this degree. It's almost unprecedented.

325
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: So all of the improvements aside, you still think there's

326
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: some ground to gain here in Josh's game, and the

327
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: ceiling still has some room for him to grow too.

328
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a ceiling. I think Josh is

329
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: the physically the most gifted athlete we've had played this

330
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: position in the NFL. And I understand that's a strong statement.

331
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: And this I'm not saying it because I work with

332
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: him or because I'm a fan of his. That's not

333
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: why I say it. I think it's pretty factual. He's

334
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: six five and change, he's two forty and change. He's

335
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: as fast as any of these guys minus Lamar and Russell.

336
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: He's probably faster than everybody else got the quarterback position.

337
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: His arm is what it is. It's strongest in the

338
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: league or second strongest in the league. Whatever that doesn't matter.

339
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: And he also is a runner. He has vision, he

340
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: can cut back, he's hurtled, He's not just a fast

341
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: guy that runs out of bounds. So when you put

342
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: all those things together from a talent spective, that really

343
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: makes that ceiling really high. But then you look at

344
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: from a mechanical standpoint, there's some opportunities to get more consistent.

345
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: As amazing as the year has. He certainly missed throws,

346
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: so his errands, so does every MVP. Ever, they missed

347
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: throws too, so there's an opportunity there. The biggest area

348
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: I see for growth isn't actually due to Josh. It's

349
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: just you to the timing with his players, with his teammates.

350
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: So let's look at this off season with Stefan Digs

351
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: and they're on this historic run right now. But the

352
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: reality is is this offseason. I know it's been talked

353
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: about that the guys all went to Miami for three days.

354
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: Think about it. No OTAs he got three days in

355
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: Miami before training camp. That's it. You don't didn't have

356
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: any time this offseason to work on specific things, to

357
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: work on specific routes. One of the things when you

358
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: get a new receiver and I've been on teams where

359
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: we've got a new free agent receiver or new draft

360
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: pick and you want to throw some balls to him low,

361
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: you want to throw him to him high. I want

362
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: to throw it outside. I'm going to force it in

363
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: there between the defenders and see if he goes and

364
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: gets it. You got to try things out to see

365
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: what it guy can do and for him to get

366
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: used to your the way that you throw it, and

367
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: for him and Steff to be doing what they're doing.

368
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: And really the only time they've had chances to work

369
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: on that is in practice during the season in games.

370
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: You're not going to risk throws in games that you

371
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: will in OTAs. So next year, if there's OTAs, Josh

372
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: to be able to try all kinds of stuff with

373
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: stuff to see if they can do it, because there's

374
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: no consequence. He can throw a pick in practice and

375
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: nobody cares. So they haven't even had a chance to

376
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: really develop the chemistry outside of on Sundays, which is

377
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: the hardest place to develop chemistry. So the chemistry these

378
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: guys have, I don't think right now it's anywhere near

379
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: where it's going to be. And that's the same case

380
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: for all of the receivers and tight ends that he's

381
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: thrown it too. That's the same case for both those

382
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: young running backs who haven't got a full offseason of

383
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: really working with him yet. So all that stuff that's

384
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: new for new players or for no offseason, just from

385
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: a continuity standpoint, there's there's a room to grow for

386
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: this offense and that is really scary for the AFC

387
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: East and whoever's in their way during this playoff run.

388
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you about this playoff run. They've

389
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: got the Indianapolis Colts coming in there. You know, they're

390
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: a solid team, no question about if they deserve to

391
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs. This is a but it's the

392
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: two seed coming in on a steam roll against a

393
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: team that just kind of got in because of a

394
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: win by that other team. You know, they won their game,

395
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, and the Bills beat the other team

396
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: that was in contention for the seventh seed. So the

397
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: Colts get in. What kind of how do you see

398
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: this bracket working out, particularly since you've got Tennessee and

399
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore playing against each other on the opening week, those

400
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: two teams that are kind of those power run teams,

401
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: and just give me a quick synopsis of the playoffs

402
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: and how they're going to play out. Well, another way

403
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: to look at it is they've added a seventh team. Now,

404
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: obviously we all know that this is a bummer year

405
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: to be the number two seed because you don't get

406
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: that buy. But they're actually essentially playing against a team

407
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: that any other year would not have made the playoffs.

408
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: There's normally six spots. They're playing the seventh seed. So

409
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: once one way to look at it is they're playing

410
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: a team that would not have made the playoffs. But

411
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter rankings going into it any given Sunday.

412
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: You got to play well any given Saturday this weekend.

413
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: So what they're going to need to do is continue

414
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: to do what they've been doing. They do not need

415
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: to change everything. It's not playoffs now we're going to

416
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: run everything different. Now we're going to try and play harder.

417
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: They need to continue to laugh and have fun in

418
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: warm ups. They need to be jacking around with each other,

419
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: and they need to be dancing in the end zone,

420
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: and they need to be continuing to execute at the

421
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: level that they're executing right now, and even ratchet that

422
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: up a notch because of the playoffs, but they don't

423
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: need to change anything. If they do, they're able to

424
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: do that. This is a really favorable matchup for Buffalo.

425
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I don't know what on

426
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: the AFC side until you get to Kansas City, I

427
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: don't know what isn't a favorable matchup. I know that

428
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: they know they lost for Tennessee the first time and

429
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: all that, But the way that Buffalo is playing right now,

430
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: if they can just continue to execute and continue to

431
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: make the plays that are there, quarterback continues to play

432
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: within himself and the staff continues to dialed up the

433
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: way that they have on offense and defense and special teams.

434
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: I'd say, you know, they've got a fake punt that worked.

435
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like all three phases are just clicking.

436
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: So they don't need to pull anything out of the hat.

437
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: In my opinion, it's just continuing to execute and make

438
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: teams play catch up. Talking to quarterback consultant and founder

439
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: a QB Summit, Jordan Palmer, back to Josh, and as

440
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: much as we've seen all these improvements, Jordan, the one

441
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: thing that kind of sticks out to me is just

442
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: his on field demeanor, no matter the circumstance in the game,

443
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: there seems to be this inner calm that has kind

444
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: of taken that he's successfully paired with his command of

445
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: the offense. People would often in years past point to

446
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: that Harry High school play or hero ball is the

447
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: term we hear sometimes when Josh you know, maybe he

448
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: sees Deshaun Watson in that playoff game making plays left

449
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: and right to get his team to climb back into

450
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: a game where they're down sixteen nothing, And you couldn't

451
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: help but think Josh is sitting on the bench saying, well,

452
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: now I got to go do something amazing, And then

453
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: we would see like one of those plays, like a

454
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: lateral throw to his tight end, you know, as he's

455
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: trying to make a play running with the football. Those

456
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: are gone from his game now, and there seems to

457
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: be this inter calm that he's paired with his command

458
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: of the offense. No matter the circumstance, no matter the

459
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: time and score, he seems to be in complete control

460
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: of what he wants to execute. Where does that come from?

461
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: How do you suddenly have that after maybe not having

462
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: it no matter the situation in years past, Well, the

463
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: easiest way to look at that, and I think your

464
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: spot on is he had a habit starting in college

465
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: where when he was rolling to his right, he was

466
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: trying to make a play, and he had a play

467
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: I think it was versus Boise State where he rolled

468
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: to his right. It was like a software. He was

469
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: like a second year playing at Wyoming and he rolled

470
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: to his right and he threw this ball in the

471
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: back corner of the end zone. He was running out

472
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: of bounds. He threw it like forty six yards perfect throw,

473
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, unbelievable throw. And that was kind of like

474
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: the start of the drop Josh Allen hype well, and

475
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: then he did that as rookie year. He did that

476
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: last year a lot. I think he did that the

477
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: first week or two of the season. When he was

478
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: rolling to his right and trying to make a play,

479
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: he would sometimes make an unbelieable throw, sometimes throw a

480
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: dumb pick, and a lot of times take a un

481
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: necessary hit, hit his head on the ground, land on

482
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: his throwing shoulder. It was dangerous, it was compromising, and

483
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: the risk of the reward was not a mature decision.

484
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: So that's been basically limited. He hasn't done that since

485
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: I think week one or two this season, like not

486
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: even once, throws it away when it needs to be

487
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: thrown away, chucks it out of bounds, makes plays when

488
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: they're there, and then he's had some you know, throw

489
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: it across his body to an open receiver and the

490
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: ball was not in jeopardy. And I think the theme

491
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: is and it's all him, but the theme for at

492
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: least my conversations has really been around control physically, mentally

493
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: and emotionally. So from a physical standpoint, controlling the football.

494
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: Controlling the ball is the root of accuracy. Now from

495
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: a media perspective, and a lot of coaches and scouts

496
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: they just say somebody's either accurate they're not, But it

497
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: really comes down to their control of the football. And

498
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: that is why I think Josh has developed over these

499
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: last three years, is more control of the football. He

500
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: doesn't really lose the ball ever, hasn't sailed over the

501
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: guy's head, doesn't throw a duck. He's just in control

502
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: of the ball. Controlling his mind is just taking it

503
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: one play at a time, one series at a time,

504
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what happened last time, new series reload. And

505
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: that's an easy thing to talk about. It's a very

506
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: difficult thing to do in the time, in the moment.

507
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: And then the third one is the biggest jump is

508
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: that's in controlling your emotions. Josh is in my opinion,

509
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: and he eleaked. Not even just in football. I've been

510
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: around a lot of professional athletes in a lot of

511
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: different sports. Josh is an elite competitor. He has zero

512
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: interests in second place whatsoever, and he never has. Part

513
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: of it's the way he was raised. Part of it's

514
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,239
Speaker 1: having a brother that's a year younger than you, like

515
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: all it's just it's a combination of all the things.

516
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: But he is so competitive that early in his career

517
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: that competitiveness. Look at the way that that Texans game

518
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: ended last year, that trying to make a play competitiveness

519
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: a lot of times led to bad place. And so

520
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: being in control of his emotions and knowing that, man,

521
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: I really want to try and make these five guys

522
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: miss and throw it eighty yards down the field, but nope,

523
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw it out of ounce second down.

524
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: And he's just playing the game. He's playing football. We

525
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: call game managers guys that don't have strong arms and

526
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: throw checkdowns. I think Aaron Rodgers is a great game manager.

527
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: I think Tom Brady's a gaate game manager. I think

528
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's a fantastic game manager. I think Patrick Mahomes

529
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: is a great game manager. And Josh has turned into

530
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: an elite game manager. It's not just the touchdowns he

531
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 1: throws and the games he wins, it's the picks he

532
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: doesn't throw and the games he doesn't lose for his team.

533
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you one question. We're sitting here in

534
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: the AFC East and certainly Josh is knocked it out

535
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: of the park. And this is my last question, and

536
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: we'll let you go. One of your other guys and

537
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: a good friend to Josh Allen's, is Sam Darnold, and

538
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: the Jets once again fired a head coach. Sam is

539
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: going to get another offensive coordinator. What are your thoughts

540
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: about Sam Darnold's future? And you know, when does he

541
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: get a little stability that Josh is enjoyed. When is

542
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: he going to get an offensive coordinator that understands his

543
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: skill set? And what do you think his ceiling is

544
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: or his future in the near future. Well, I don't

545
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: think I don't I think Sam has a similar ceiling.

546
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: It's really really high. This is an elite athlete in

547
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: terms of his ability to move and create space. He

548
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: can make all the throws. He's had zero development and

549
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: continuity thus far, even in college, really only played fifteen

550
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: games and kind of got thrown in there. And and

551
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, they don't develop quarterbacks the way that some

552
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: other schools do. And um. And then from the NFL's perspective,

553
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: this would be the third OC. Zero continuity, zero stability there.

554
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: And then the roster is just it's certainly not the

555
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: Bills offensive roster. Um. He's had two GMS, and so

556
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: if he's in New York this year and he gets

557
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: a new system and all that stuff, UM, I just

558
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: hope that it's somebody who is going to be able

559
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: to continue to develop him the way that Brian Dable

560
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: and Ken Dorsey have developed Josh Allen. They don't get it.

561
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: They whatever credit in the world is not enough. They

562
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: have done a fantastic job with Josh. Um And if Sam,

563
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: you know the way that Justin Fields and these other

564
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: guys are playing, who knows what the Jets are going

565
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: to do? I don't, um, And so until they get

566
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: those pieces in play, we won't know what they're going

567
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: to do with Sam. And if Sam gets an opportunity

568
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: to go somewhere else again, I think it's somewhere where

569
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: he gets a chance to develop and learn. Sam doesn't

570
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: need to sit for a year or two and figure

571
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: it out. He just needs one consistent thing and know

572
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: who's running what route and when they're going to be there.

573
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: And Sam. What I'll say about Sam is there will

574
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: be a time in Sam's future where all he has

575
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: to do is play to his ability and that'll be

576
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: enough for them to win most of the games and

577
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: be in it at the end. And when Sam gets

578
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: to that point, he is a guy who is capable

579
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: of winning the Super Bowl. Thanks very much, Jordan, waste

580
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: of time. We appreciate you joining us and enjoy the playoffs. Awesome.

581
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: I will go Bills. Okay, we wrap up this episode

582
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: with our one burning question. Bills fans are worried about

583
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott's coaching staff Steve being poached by other less

584
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: successful clubs. So our burning question is, will Brian Dable

585
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: be a head coach in the NFL in twenty twenty one?

586
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: I would say yeah, and I there's two really quality

587
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: opera ttunities for a guy exactly like Brian Dable. One

588
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: is of course in San Diego in LA for the Chargers.

589
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: They've got a brand new quarterback, Justin Herbert, who had

590
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: a very wonderful maybe he's probably offensive Rookie of the

591
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: Year in the National Football League. And to have a

592
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: guy come in and have the success he had with

593
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Justin Herbert obviously has doesn't have as

594
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: far to go as Josh as a quarterback. He's way

595
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: ahead of the courage to bring a guy in like

596
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: Brian Dable, who has watched Sean McDermott over the last

597
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: three years build the program into something special. I think

598
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: that sets him up for having recent experience of how

599
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: to do it in this climate that the league is

600
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: in now. Another opportunity is tremendous opportunity for a team

601
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: to get on track in the same way with a

602
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: guy like Brian Dable would be Jacksonville Jaguars. They've got

603
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft, Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence

604
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: has declared for the twenty twenty one draft. You've got

605
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: a chance to pick him. He is a quarterback who

606
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: can sling it and has a lot of things going

607
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: for him is a much better prospect even than Josh Allen.

608
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: Wish pop much more polished prospect than Josh Allen was,

609
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: and that you would have that same sort of fit

610
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: for Brian Dable. There are their opportunities as we know, Detroit, Atlanta, Houston,

611
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. While they're all attractive in their

612
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: own way and have their own ups and pluses and minuses,

613
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: none of them fit as Brian day Ball as well

614
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: as the two in LA and in jackson I would

615
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: tend to agree with you. Jacksonville has eleven draft choices

616
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: this year. I think the only fly in the ointment

617
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: with the Jacksonville job is what Shod Khan said this

618
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: past week when he said he wants input on personnel decisions,

619
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: and that is something that can very quickly scare off

620
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: a general manager, chiefly and potentially a coach as well.

621
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: Remind me, does Jacksonville need of GM as well? They do?

622
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: Dave called they let Dave calledwell got he got let

623
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: go and state November right after Thanksgiving. And here's something

624
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: that Dave calledwell was also a Buffalo guy, Saint Francis guy,

625
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: just like Brian day Ball is they kind of the

626
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: same thing as well as the general manager in LA

627
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: for Tom Talesco for the Chargers. They're both. They're all

628
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: they went to the same high school here in Buffalo

629
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: at the same together, not in the same class, but

630
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: still one or two years apart. It's a heck of

631
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: a connection. Yes, And you know, we know how the

632
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: NFL circles work. You go with who you know, and

633
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: there's an inherent level of trust there, and I think

634
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: that's a very rare thing. And if you can get

635
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: that while getting the dream job that you've always wanted,

636
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of a no brainer. And when you throw

637
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: in the added benefit of Oh and by the way,

638
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: here's our rookie quarterback who just threw thirty one touchdown passes.

639
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, think about that. Everybody's all gaga about Josh

640
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: Allen breaking the passing touchdown record for the Bills franchise

641
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: here in his third season, and it was a fantastic year,

642
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: make no mistake about it. This guy in his first

643
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: year through thirty one touchdown passes. And the Chargers really

644
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 1: all they need to do is kind of strengthen their

645
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: offensive line a little bit, get a little more help

646
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: in the defensive backfield and then just try to stay healthy. Yeah,

647
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: they've got a team that can go places as early

648
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: as next year. You can hit the ground running with

649
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: that team. So it could depend too, also on what

650
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: you want. Do you want to strict rebuild, build it

651
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: in your own image. If you want that, that's probably Jacksonville.

652
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: If you want to hit the ground running and be

653
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: successful right away, I think the Chargers are best positioned

654
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: to do that for you as a new Charge coach.

655
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: The Chargers are more fully formed as a roster with talent.

656
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, and we saw that happen here

657
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. There were some really good players on this

658
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: team when Sean McDermott arrived. They did not fit the

659
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: type of team he run into have and he jettisoned

660
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: those guys. So you gotta be if you walk into

661
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: LA there may be a handful of very talented players

662
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: that you don't want any part of as a head coach.

663
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: Even though they can play, Even though they might have

664
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: caught a bunch of passes or made a bunch of tackles,

665
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: or got a bunch of whatever they may the case

666
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: may be, they may not be the type of personality

667
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: you want your team to emulate. And that's some hard

668
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: decisions you have to make in LA on a team

669
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: that you've seen that everybody would say, hey, this team's

670
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: ready to go right now. You may be saying, we

671
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: may be abady to go, but we're not going to

672
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: go in that direction. There is elite talent on that

673
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: roster though. I mean Derwin James will be coming back

674
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: from a season ending injury this past year. He is

675
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: an elite safety. Joey Bosa is locked up long term.

676
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: He is an elite pass rusher. You have Herbert at quarterback,

677
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: and you've got keenan Allen at receiver, and you have

678
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: an above average tight end in Hunter Henry. All of

679
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: these guys, at least to my knowledge, are under contract.

680
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: So that team is poised to go places with the

681
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 1: right new head coach. So it's gonna be really interesting.

682
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: But I'm afraid I agree with you. I think too.

683
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: I think Brian Dable is out the door. I think

684
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: he gets a head coaching job. So yeah, And in Jacksonville,

685
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: they can start from the ground up and start quickly.

686
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: They don't have to get their cap in order or anything.

687
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: They can start money to spend. They can get the

688
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: guys they want right away and they will be significantly

689
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: better in twelve months. Right. Roster flexibility is what you're

690
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: pitching if you're the Jacksonville organization and basically starting from

691
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: the ground up, which what that affords a new head

692
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: coach is time on the job. Your first year is

693
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: essentially going to be a honeymoon year because the expectations

694
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,959
Speaker 1: are so low. And I think too, even the things

695
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: that you said about the owner wanting some input on personnel,

696
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: I think if you go in and have some conversation,

697
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: some frank conversations with the ownership before you're hired by them,

698
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: and say, listen, here's what I expect and have, and

699
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: hear his input on what he thinks about his personnel.

700
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: If he says all the right things, that may be

701
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: the best thing, because you can as a head coach,

702
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: you can go directly the owner and say, hey, here's

703
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: what we agreed to, here's what we said, here's what

704
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: we're doing. What do you think? And the owners like, yeah,

705
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm all about it. What else can I do? Or

706
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 1: the owner says, wait a minute, you're right. The GM

707
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: or whoever it is, is not going in the same direction.

708
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: Let's get back on track here. So if the owner

709
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: gives you the right information and you're questioning of him

710
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: during the process, then it might be the place to

711
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: go because you can see things the same way, or

712
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: at least sell him on your point of view. Yeah.

713
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: I mean, the general consensus on Shad Khan as an

714
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: owner in Jacksonville is he's a reasonable man. But that

715
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: story that came out earlier this week, I don't know

716
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: if it portrayed him accurately because it made it sound

717
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: like he was going to be heavy handed in his

718
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: short decision making going forward, and that that can scare

719
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: off potential gms and coaches. Will be interesting to see

720
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: how that pans out and how he presents himself in

721
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: those interviews with potential head coaching. Yeah, that's a part

722
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 1: of the equation we don't know enough about, and only

723
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: the new head coach and new GM will really know

724
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: how he feels about his personnel and why he said

725
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: the statement that he did because they're I mean, Jerry

726
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: Jones and Dallas is that way, And don't kid yourself.

727
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: Every owner in the league has a voice in that room,

728
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: and his voice is usually the final voice. So him

729
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: saying that is not earth shattering to most head coaching candidates.

730
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that because he made himself to the media,

731
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: they put him on the spot and asked him to

732
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: clarify that, and in his clarification probably came across in

733
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: print a little heavier or not as heavy as we thought.

734
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: But that's not groundbreaking information for most head coaching candidates.

735
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: And we should also mention that the Jets did request

736
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: formal permission to speak to Brian Dable about their head

737
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: coaching post. Obviously, they have a quarterback there along with

738
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: a high draft choice, as we know, and there's a

739
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: lot to do there though that is a heavy lift.

740
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: But Brian Dable does have prior time spent in New York.

741
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: He was the quarterbacks coach there for two years under

742
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: Eric Mangini, coached Brett Farve at his last stop as

743
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: a professional, and Brett Farve highly recommends him. And the

744
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: other potential job where he could be considered is in Houston,

745
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: where Nick Kisserio, the former front office man in New England,

746
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: was just hired as GM. There's a history there from

747
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: Brian Dable's time there. He could surface as a candidate

748
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: in Houston as well. I'll tell you this though, one

749
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: of the most attractive spots maybe the Atlanta Falcons. And

750
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why you're a You're in a division

751
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: that is down in Carolina. Tampa Bay's got a forty

752
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: three year old quarterback, and New Orleans has got a

753
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: forty forty year old quarterback. You are pois and your

754
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: quarterback with your draft picks, and that you may be

755
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: able to start your rebuilding catch it at a time

756
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: when the other three franchises are all doing well or

757
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: struggling to do well. Jacksonville, you're in a comp You're

758
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: in a in a division with two playoff teams this year,

759
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: Indianapolis and Tennessee. In the New York Jets, you're in

760
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: with Bill Belichick, a surging Buffalo Bills team, and a

761
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: Miami team that is on the rise and won ten

762
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 1: games this year. And even the Chargers. You're the Chargers

763
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and the Broncos and the Raiders. So

764
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: you think about the kind of plumb spot for some

765
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: success within your division. Atlanta may be the one that

766
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: you go to. Interesting follow up here, do you believe

767
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser will be a head coach in twenty twenty one?

768
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: The Bills is an organization have tried to push his

769
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: candidacy forward. Coach McDermott made him an assistant head coach

770
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: last year in the off season and an effort to

771
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: get him some more looks, and it didn't really come

772
00:38:54,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: to pass. The defense hasn't had the statistical number type

773
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: season that they had the previous two years. I don't

774
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: know if he's going to get an opportunity because of

775
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: that very fact. Yeah, it's a it's a it's a

776
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: very current kind of climate when you do it. When,

777
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: for instance, two or three years ago, when when Matt

778
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: Lafleur got hired, Cliff Kingskiberry got hired, Sean McVeigh got hired,

779
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: it was all these young, very young offensive coaches who

780
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: call their own plays. So you don't run the risk

781
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: of a Brian Dable situation where you're gonna lose a

782
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: big part of your staff and your play calling, your

783
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: offensive success. The Bills hired a defensive head coach, gone

784
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: very well for them. The Miami Dolphins are very happy

785
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: with Brian Floor as a defensive coach. The Broncos hired

786
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio. There's been that direction you can go and

787
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: teams have been pretty successful, but you're right. I think

788
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a what have you done for me lately?

789
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: Kind of league, And if the Bill's defense took a

790
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: step backward, owners are gonna say why is that? And

791
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: why didn't you get more out of those? And the

792
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: shame of it is they're playing some of their best

793
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: football right now and the number as will not bear

794
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: that out because of the slow start that the defense

795
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: did have. Not to mention the fact that the theme

796
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: of this offseason, I believe Steve is going to be

797
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: head coaches that have a proven track record of developing

798
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks are going to ultimately be far and away

799
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: the hires. Robert sala is probably going to get a

800
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: head coaching job, Matt Eberflus is probably gonna get a

801
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: head coaching job somewhere. Those are defensive guys with defensive backgrounds.

802
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: But I think the guys that have developed quarterbacks are

803
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: going to be the hot commodities. And Brian Dable, as

804
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: we know is you're running out of slots. Well, correct,

805
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: you've got their six positions. There's six spots open and

806
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: you can go down. The hot list is Brian Daybole.

807
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: It's Eric b Enemy, Robert Sala, Mattberfluum, Arthur Smith from

808
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: TENN Tennessee's play caller. Um, that's kind of your Yeah,

809
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: and then you can you can go down the list

810
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: of you know, outliers from like um, the former Buckeys coach. Yeah,

811
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: and I can't remember his name right now, that urban

812
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, guys like that coming in out of the blue,

813
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, guys like that. But you get down the

814
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 1: list of six guys, there's a lot of qualified candidates

815
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: out there, and you know that's that remains to be

816
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: seen as to what and Albert Albert Marvin Lewis has

817
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: an interview, yes as well, guys with former experience. So yeah,

818
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of names that are in the hat.

819
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: There's only six spots open. Yeah, it will certainly be

820
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: a hot stove head coaching offseason. That is all the
