1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Oh tasper, touchdown, touchdown, touch down, over time. Let's fire

2
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: it up here on a Thursday, people, Welcome to One

3
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and so

4
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: we take a look at the new Era field as

5
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: the snow has melted off of most of the turf surface.

6
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: Little uh, a little above freezing today here in western

7
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: New York. Sunshine makes everything better, though it does, right, helps.

8
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: It's nice to know the sun does exist. Still come up.

9
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot of gray here in the winter once

10
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: you get to like November December, a lot of great.

11
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't mind that if it's nice white snow. And

12
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: the snow helps because the mud seasons. The one the

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: mud seasons the one that bothers me, well when it turns,

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: especially when you got dogs, got a white pause off

15
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: on the way back in the house and exactly all

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: of that stuff. That's the thing that bothers me. Days

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: like today are great, though I don't mind we have

18
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't with you, I'd be outside. That's right. We

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: have a jam packed show today. Just we're just so busy,

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, jam packed. Right, We're gonna have to start

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: stiff arming these guests that are asked arming guests, come on,

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's why. I mean, we're just

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: too full. I don't know if that's wise. We want

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: stiff arm the first guest, right. So at twelve thirty,

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: we have one head coach, Sean McDermott coming in finalist

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: as yes, we have for the Coach of the Year.

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: We have learned he is a finalist for NFL Coach

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: of the Year. So congrats to him just being in

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: that select company as well as an achievement in this league.

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: It's well deserved. There's a lot of guys that really

31
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: did a nice job, and Shaun's one of them, no

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: question about nice to know. To talk about nice to know,

33
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: he's up for that, so we'll talk to him about that.

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: We'll also talk to him about some of his colleagues,

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: including his coaching mentor who's going to be very busy

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday coaching for the chief in Andy Reid. I

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: know he's also really tight with Steve Spagnolo, who's the

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Chiefs, who has orchestrated a heck

39
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: of a turnaround for that unit in the second half

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: of the season. As Steve and I touched on during

41
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: the show yesterday, So we'll get his thoughts on that

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: and the job that Spagnolo did on the defensive side

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: of the ball to really turn the Chiefs, helped turn

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: the chief season around defensively, and really, when you think

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: about it, if he didn't do that, I don't know

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: if the spread is what it is for this game,

47
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, being just a one point spread. I think

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people would be of the opinion that

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: San fran would have a clear and decided advantage if

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense did not improve the way it did

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: over the course of the second half of the twenty

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: nineteen campaign. So we'll ask Sean McDermott about Steve spagnoloan

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: the job he's done. We'll ask him about Brian Dabele,

54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: who was in the finalist as the Browns head coach.

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: They just hired a new defensive line coach, Eric Washington.

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: We asked him about that, ye about Josh and his

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: thoughts about Josh's year in retrospect and how that went. Obviously,

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Josh took a step forward, at least statistically and also

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: more importantly in the wind lost column. Although yeah, wins

60
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: aren't a quarterback stat except we all think they're a

61
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: quarterback stat and we all use them as such. But

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Josh was a big part of their step forward as

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: a team there, So we got a lot of chance,

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: got a chance to talk to Sean McDermot about all

65
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: those things. One o'clock, we'll have a guest who's frequently

66
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: been on the show to kind of explain anything salary,

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: cap free agent related, and that's one Joel Corey, form

68
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: an NFL agent and now really kind of analyzes things

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: for CBS Sports. Is that right. I believe it's CBS Sports. Yes,

70
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: he's a cap analysts. Yeah, So he'll be diving into

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: all of that for us as we bound some questions

72
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: off of him about free agency, which comes up on

73
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: March eighteenth. The tampering window starts March sixteenth, And obviously,

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: as we touched on yesterday with the Field Yates the

75
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: ESPN NFL Insider, you could have a very interesting offseason

76
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: of quarterback musical chairs with all of the quarterbacks whose

77
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: contracts are up, both starters and backups, who figure to

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: find new destinations. In many cases, you know, it's very

79
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: much up in the air as to whether Jamis Winston

80
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: is going back to Tampa Bay or if where they're

81
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: going to look for a better QB there under head

82
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: coach Bruce Arians. You know the Tom Brady situation. You've

83
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: got Drew Breese Mulling retirement, is he coming back? Yes? No, maybe,

84
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: And then you've got all of these other quarterbacks in

85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: the hopper, Ryan Tannehill, Teddy Bridgewater. I mean, there's a

86
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: lot of guys that could land in a lot of

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: different places. So we'll get into that with Joel Corey

88
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: to see what fiscally makes sense for some teams. Because

89
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: you can say, oh, yeah, Tom Brady's going to the

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: LA Chargers, Well can they can they absorb a giant

91
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: cap figure at quarterback here? Who can and who can't?

92
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: What's realistic? There's some stuff out there too because they're

93
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: we all know about the salary cap and it may

94
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: go over two hundred million dollars this year, but there's

95
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: also a salary cap for which teams, over the course

96
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: of a span of time four years. In this case,

97
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: you've got to spend eighty nine percent of your salary cap.

98
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: So you can't have these teams tanks say I don't

99
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: care what the salary cap is. We're gonna we're gonna

100
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: dress up twelve fans from the stands, and we're gonna

101
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: make money, right because you know, if they don't spend

102
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: the salary cap, that money goes into the pocket. Right.

103
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: So the league and the CBA says, listen, you got

104
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: to spend over the course of four year. You can

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: have a bat down year depending on the contract, and

106
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: if you get a quarterback on his rookie deal, you

107
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: can kind of make hay and make some money while

108
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: you're not paying him and build your roster, that kind

109
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: of thing. So they give a four year window for

110
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: these teams to get their financial order house in order

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: and spend over the course of those four years an

112
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: average of eighty nine million bucks eighty nine percent of

113
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: the salary cap every year. They can have a down

114
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: year here and there, but they gotta, you know, they

115
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: got to spend to the floor. So there's six of

116
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: those teams or five or six of those teams that

117
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: may you know, need to spend some money this offseason

118
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: to get their colts. The Bills are one of them,

119
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens, the Chargers, or a couple of them. So

120
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: there's some of these teams that you know, fiscally, they

121
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: got to go out in free agency and spend a

122
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: little cash. Colts are really one of them. That is

123
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: that is because the Colts have been very they haven't

124
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: spent very austere when it's come to free agents. That's

125
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: why they were in a position like they can give

126
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: Jacobe Brissette for a year. Do I mean, what are

127
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: you doing? He had him under contract. You didn't even

128
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: do him anything. Why would you do? You know what

129
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean? So they had to do it. It made

130
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: sense for them to make the guy happy, get whatever

131
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: you can get out of him. But now you know

132
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: here they are. They still got to spend money. So

133
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: when you're talking about how this is going to come

134
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: through in free agency, some of these teams are backed

135
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: up where you think, wow, I wonder what they're gonna do.

136
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: They got to spend Yeah, and that's uh some point

137
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: where the bills are. But there it's kind of different

138
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: because the rookie salary cap and the rookie wage scale,

139
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: and with the draft picks they've got coming in, they're

140
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: gonna get there at least by the skin of their teeth.

141
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Just that way. And then at two o'clock we will

142
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: be talking with Jeff ran Bold, who is an NFL

143
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: analyst for Sky Sports, also the special teams coordinator for

144
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: the Hamilton tie Cats and the CFL, and also the

145
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: former coach of Emmanuel Sanders who's obviously playing wide receiver

146
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers on Sunday in the Super Bowl,

147
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: and former receivers coach of Cole Beasley at SMU. So

148
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: be interesting to talk to him in our two o'clock hour.

149
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: So really a jam packed show today, and we also

150
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: wanted to be maybe a little bit more lighthearted with

151
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: our approach today in terms of things we wanted to discuss.

152
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Steve and I a little bit yesterday got into some

153
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: of these exorbitant and lavishly priced Super Bowl packages. If

154
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: you really want to jump the shark and have a

155
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,800

158
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: Jay Harris is one point five million dollars was the

159
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,200

Speaker 1: them all, but there were a host of different ones,

169
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,680

Speaker 1: And I tell you this, Brandy, we started in on this.

197
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: I started thinking, how rich would I have to be

198
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: to blow six figures or an average of five figures,

199
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: like fifty grand apiece for like me and six people

200
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: to go down there. How rich would I have to be?

201
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can get my mind around

202
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: how rich I would have to be to blow it

203
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: on a weekend like that. Knowing what I know about

204
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: the NFL and the Super Bowl and the weekends is

205
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you'd have to count that.

206
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if you counted it as your week, your

207
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: two weeks of vacation or whatever, and it was going

208
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,000

209
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna the Super Bowls, that's got to be it, right,

210
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: And you got this this place where you can go

211
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: for four days afterwards and fly to a private island

212
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,280

213
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,480

Speaker 1: it is kind of now, I guess now that I

254
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: think about it. Maybe twelve years ago, ten, ten to

255
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: eleven years ago. The Colts are in Miami to play

256
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: the Bears. Remember that Peyton manns Rex Grossman. Right, it's

Speaker 1: the Bills went to So Pete and I were roommates.

264
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: So he's the offensive line coach or assistant offensive line

265
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: coach for the Colts. And it's four hours before the

266
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Game's a beautiful day, although after that it started to rain.

267
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,560

00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: I say, oh shoot, I'm sorry, sir, excuse me. And

460
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: it was Muhammad Ali. There was literally nobody inside the

461
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: souvenir shop and I'm flipping out, freaking out, going, oh

462
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: my god, it's the champ and mister Tasker, I'm your age.

463
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: So I said, I've been following you my whole I

464
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: love blah blah blah. And he was just starting to

465
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: shake a little bit. He had two boats with him

466
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: and he put his hands up and he says, I

467
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 1: still think I could take your son. He is one

468
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: of the all time great guys of all time. And

469
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: you're right, um that thanks for the call, Kevin. That's

470
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: an awesome story. And I told I keep telling people

471
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: this all the time. I get you know, once in

472
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: a while, I get asked for autographs or whatever, and

473
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: now it's selfies these days. In my entire life, there

474
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: were two people whose autograph I would have wanted. One

475
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: was Howard Cosell. Oh really right, the former Great broadcast

476
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: and that's kind of my broadcast. I'm a broadcaster now,

477
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: So him and Mohammed was it. Muhammad Ali was the

478
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: other one. And uh, I have heard many and Jim

479
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: Kelly's got a story about meeting Mohammed and stuff, and

480
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: so many people have great stuff. I have never heard anybody.

481
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: But how how unlikely is that? Super Believe the stadium,

482
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: you go across the street to a random souvenir shop

483
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: that's probably like a pop up shop, you know, for

484
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: the week of the Super Bowl. Muhammad Ali's in there, Like,

485
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: let put that in perspective. At certain points in history

486
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: and for a long stretch, he was the most recognizable

487
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: athlete on planet Earth, right, But he's in a souvenir

488
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: shop in Minneapolis, across the street from the Super Bowl

489
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: before the game's even over, and to bump into him,

490
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that is that's pretty random. But that's Super Bowl.

491
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: What are we talking? You're talking hundreds of one in

492
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: a hundreds of millions. That's the super Bowl for you

493
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: there though, right, that is the super Bowl and that's

494
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: what happens during that week. It's super Bowls unbelievable. It

495
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: is unbelievable because it's in this because it happens in

496
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: this country, and this country goes absolutely bonco over it. Now,

497
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: everybody else is about the World Cup and soccer thing,

498
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: but in this country it goes and nobody treats celebrities

499
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: like this country treats them. I mean, you know, they're

500
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: everywhere and people roll out to go you want to

501
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: see this, and it's you bump into the most random

524
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: the Midwest there, Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then we once

525
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: to Tampa. We went down to like a shopping mall

526
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: across the street. Well, we got there at six o'clock

527
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: and one, because there's no parky. We tail game of people.

528
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: We had Buffalo brew beer with us. A lot of fun,

529
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: good time, good time. Yeah, that's it's true. The stories,

530
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: A lot of the stories I have to do with

531
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls, and of course my family all tried

532
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: to make it all four Super Bowls, and most of

533
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: them did. But I do have my oldest brother. Yes,

534
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: he has the honor or whatever, the privilege or I

535
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: don't know what do you call it? The death ignation?

536
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: He was the guy who made every single home playoff

537
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: game here in Buffalo, no matter what. Right, the badge

538
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: of honor. Right, Yeah, he has the desert and one

539
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: of the trips that he made, I think it was

540
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: the coldest game in Bill's history with the Raiders. Oh yeah,

541
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: that's the one. I had a kickoff return in that game,

542
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: and he it was one of those where didn't know

543
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: how he was gonna get there, didn't know if he could.

544
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: Finally he finds out he's gonna do it. Well, that

545
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: everything was shut down. He couldn't he was flying in.

546
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: So he flies to Chicago. Can't get to Buffalo, but

547
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: he can't get to LaGuardia. So he flies to LaGuardia

548
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: and he goes, well he can't still can't get to Buffalo.

549
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: He goes when they go, well, we got a flight

550
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: to Allbudy, he goes, not as that closer? Heah, we

551
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: got one to Rochester? Is that well? Rochester is closer

552
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: than Albany. He was give me the Rochester. So he

553
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: gets flown to Rochester. He still hasn't you know. And

554
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: this is like on Saturday night or Sunday morning, and

555
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: finally he meets some you know to Rochester. He got

556
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: half a chance. Well, my brother is you know, never

557
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: met anybody he didn't know, right, So he's like hey,

558
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: he starts chit chatting and he's saying, you know, he's

559
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: telling me like he's my brother and all that, and

560
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: he tars talking to people. And so these two guys

561
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: from Rochester going to the game, but they're driving over.

562
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: You want to hit your ride with them. So my

563
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: brother gets in a van, a tool van, like a

564
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: like a plumbers van. He's sitting from Rochester from the airport,

565
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: sitting in a back of a vent behind a like

566
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: a metal sheeting thing with tools hanging everywhere, and he's

567
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: hanging onto the sides, sitting on a cooler, and they

568
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: drive to the game. My brother finally makes it to

569
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: the game, like in time for kickoff, and he didn't

570
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: even have his luggage, no, no luggage, no nothing. He

571
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: gets into my closet where it's all of my stuff

572
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: to get to the game because he has you know,

573
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any Bills gear on, so he's got

574
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: to get Bills Gain gets into my closet. Where's my

575
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: clothes of the Bills game? Now here's the story. So

576
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: there was a picture taken that wasn't the story. This

577
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: is it. There was a picture taken of that kickoff

578
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: play that I made. And it's me, you know, Willie

579
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: Galt's pushing me, and I'm in the air and I'm

580
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,640

581
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: ramp so you can see the fans. So the snowshovel

00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: guy on the sidelines is jumping up in the air.

583
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks I'm about I don't score, but everybody thinks

584
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm about to score. So the whole stadium is erupting

585
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: and you can see all the way down the bench

586
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: area and everything. And they're in the back. Is my

587

594
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: runs me out of bounds and bating the picture. You

595
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,320

Speaker 1: the first hour of the program. Here and as promised,

613
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: joining us now NFL Coach of the Year finalist head

614
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills. So, coach, first

615
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: and foremost, congratulations on that. That is elite company to

616
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: be in. So I know you're not big on personal accolades,

617
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: but it's it's got to be very humbling to be

618
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: in that select group. Yeah, Chris, it is. It is

619
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: an honor um. But like like most of the awards

620
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: or most of the recognition, I think it's it's truly

621
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: a team team deal. And uh, you don't. You don't

622
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: get that that recognition without winning games. And you don't

623
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: win games without a team and and a great staff

624
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: and and great support in our building. So um, I'm

625
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: much appreciative of that, and and I think it's great

626
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: to be recognized, great for our team, great for Buffalo

627
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: um and and the recognition that our team gets with.

628
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: Have you Have you ever been to any of those

629
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: big award kind of ceremonies that they do now, I

630
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: mean they literally roll out the red carpet. Have you

631
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: ever been to anything? But I think you know me

632
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: well enough to know that I'm not a big red

633
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: carpet guy. You show you should show up in a

634
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: pink tux this year. Yeah, just to blow it out. Yeah,

635
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to change your image. That's what I

636
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: was like, kind of like a dumb and dumber. I

637
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: don't know if that's about just like this, just I mean,

638
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: instead of a gray sweatsuit hood, he just put like

639
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: a bright pink great, you know what I mean. Just yeah,

640
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: we'll just kind of just really really grabbed the attention

641
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: of the of the public and the new and the media.

642
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: Don't do that. That's right on my out, I gotta

643
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: tell you, though, it does. It's got to be a

644
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: little bit gratifying at least to know that the franchise

645
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: you took over three years ago and where it was

646
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: and the history that had had in recent years to

647
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: where it is now as being one of those teams

648
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: where head coaches, players of the Pro Bowl, media people

649
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: and probably just the regular fan bases are from around

650
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: the country are saying, Wow, the Bills are you gotta

651
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: watch them now? They're they're a team that is a contender. Yeah, no,

652
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: it is. It's uh, it's it's a credit's all the

653
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: hard work that's gone into it, you know, and and uh,

654
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, as as I said, when we got here.

655
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: There's good people in this building. I believe that I've

656
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: seen that now firsthand, and and it is truly it's

657
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: truly been a team effort. We've been through ups and

658
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: downs and that's that's part of the journey, and we

659
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: enjoyed that journey and UM, but it is satisfying to

660
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: know that our players have gotten the recognition that that's

661
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: that they've deserved to this point and they're going to

662
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: get more UM and UH and our staff the same way.

663
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: And it's great to see the Buffalo Bills back on

664
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: the map. Yeah, because you're not alone, coach. I mean,

665
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: we've got Tredavious White up for Defensive Player of the Year.

666
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: You got Lorenzo Alexandra for Walter Peyton Man of the Year.

667
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: So it's nice to see these accolades kind of coming

668
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo's way here. And you know, obviously, as you mentioned,

669
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: that's part of you know, winning. Once you start winning,

670
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: you start getting those personal accolades along with that stuff. Um,

671
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: did you catch any of the Pro Bowl this past

672
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: week with some of your guys running around out there? Yeah?

673
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: You know, I saw Trey Tredavious in the weight room

674
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: this morning and he's back and and already working out again,

675
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: which is which is cool? And um I said to him,

676
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: I said, hey, I called a couple series of the

677
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: game and um. And so I we bantered back and

678
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: forth a little bit, and I was I was evaluating

679
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: his technique and there's not a lot of techniques. Well,

680
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: it took a couple just a couple of plays, you

681
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: see what type of game, right, So I think it's

682
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 1: great experience, right for for Tradavious who's in his first

683
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl for Tremaine, and then obviously Andrea is well,

684
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: great honor for Andre to be there again. And um,

685
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: just a great confidence booster, if you will, for for

686
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: for our young players more than anything. And and I

687
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: think that having been to the Pro Bowl before as

688
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: a coach, I think four or five times, the best

689
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: thing you can pick up is the habits of the guys.

690
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: You watch them, you watch how and I know it's

691
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, right, so people say, well, it's not

692
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: as intense, and it's not. But even to just be

693
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: around that caliber of player and to watch those guys,

694
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: most of whom believe it or not, stay on that

695
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: schedule and that routine during the week. Because even though

696
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: it's not as intensive a game. It is still a

697
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: game and they're still on stage. Yeah, and it's interesting

698
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: too because I remember, you get an idea of what

699
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: their mindset was during the regular season and the commitment

700
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: and the things that the details that they felt were

701
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,439
Speaker 1: important were really telling and inspirational to guys who hadn't

702
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: been exposed to it or order to share it with them.

703
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: And even in casual conversations, you pick up things from

704
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: great players about their mindset and the things they think

705
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: about that is really helpful to you in your own preparation.

706
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: I got one of the things I gotta ask you about.

707
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: We talked about Tredevious and all the quality of people

708
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: that are in the building, Lorenzo Alexander for Walter Payton

709
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: Man of the Year. It's kind of indicative now that

710
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: you've got guys like Tredevious and Lorenzo is particular that

711
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: it shows you the kind of atmosphere you're looking to

712
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: foster here and just talk about Lorenzo, it's like the

713
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: third straight year he's a finalist. Well, I mean, it's

714
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: just to be around Lorenzo for now the better part

715
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: of three years. What an amazing young man. He is

716
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: if I can use the word young in the context

717
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: of life right young maybe not in football terms, but

718
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: what a great family he has in support system behind him.

719
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: And then you know the thing that a couple of

720
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: things that stand out about Lorenz or just the way

721
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: that he carried himself consistently throughout this season, the ups

722
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: and downs, and and and to have the heart that

723
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: he has for the community. It's one thing to win

724
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: games and want to win games and have that type

725
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: of desire and passion, but to have it also off

726
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: the field, and to watch Lorenzo uh just model that

727
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: servant leadership and to go into the downtown areas and

728
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: the schools and and just to do what he's done

729
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: and the way that he's gone about his businesses is

730
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: not only great for our community, but it's also great

731
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: for our young football team. I think you have enough

732
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: leadership in that locker room to kind of help fill

733
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: the void there, maybe not with one person per se,

734
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: but positionally coach on defense, Now you've got a void

735
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 1: to fill there as well. Do you see that as

736
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: a position, because he was kind of unique. He was

737
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for you, you know,

738
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: with that linebacker and then in your pass rush packages,

739
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: is that a role that you think can be filled

740
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: by one person or do you anticipate that that's something

741
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: that may have to be filled by a couple of

742
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: people to kind of cover the gamut there that he

743
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: that he provided for you guys, Well, it's a tough role.

744
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,479
Speaker 1: I mean, just like some of the other players, Kyle

745
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: Williams a year ago and now Lorenzo, it's I don't

746
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: think you ever replace a player like that or a

747
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: person like that, and so it may take more than

748
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: one person to do that. Brandon has done a great

749
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: job trying to help us do that over the last

750
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: couple of years, and I'm confident that will remain the case.

751
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: And and I mean it's a it's a niche role

752
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: when you talk about what he did on the field

753
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: for us rushing the pass or playing at the linebacker level,

754
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: and then some of the special teams as well. Right,

755
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be hard to find. I know

756
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: Brandon is out there looking and we'll do a great

757
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: job with that. And so but that's also where developing

758
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: our young players not only ass but also as leaders

759
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: and and and and that's an important part of us

760
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: not only sustaining success but also continuing to take our

761
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: success to to to new levels. So you talk about

762
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 1: these guys like Larizo, Alexander and Kyle Williams in the past,

763
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: and the guys you're trying to develop as mentors. You

764
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: had a mentor in your coaching life from nineteen ninety

765
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: nine through twenty ten. You're with Andy Reid and Philly

766
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: and now you're you know, Big Red. Does he call him?

767
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: He's in is coaching the Super Bowl? Talk what you

768
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: learn from him? What are your thoughts about him getting

769
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: a chance to coach in another supermo Yeah, you know,

770
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 1: it's funny because when we text back and forth, usually

771
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: just during the season, it's just text and and so

772
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: he'll text me after one of our games or vice versa,

773
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: and he is known as Big Red and he'll text me, hey, redhead.

774
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: And so, um, it's it's it's satisfying to watch him

775
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: have this success that he's had this season. Um, to

776
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: get to where he's gotten to with his football team,

777
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: because he's been through so much right off the field

778
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: on the field. Um, And he's just he's just a

779
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: man that refuses to cut corners. I mean he's consistent

780
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: as as as you would want a coach to be,

781
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: and as an ex player in the league, you know

782
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: how important that is. And he's just done a phenomenal job. Yeah.

783
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: I've had production meetings with him when I was a

784
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: broadcaster and he was a great guy. And this week,

785
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's got nine grandkids now at this point,

786
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: and he was asked about his grandkids and he said,

787
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: this is his quote. The guy's becoming a national treasure.

788
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: It's hilarious. So this is his quote, says, they talking

789
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: about his grandkids, they keep you young and at the

790
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: same time they make you feel old. It's kind of

791
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: like sweet and sour pork. Right. Yeah, always here he's Oh,

792
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: he's he doesn't always let the public see what he

793
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: really is, but his personality, his sense of humor behind

794
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,479
Speaker 1: closed doors is unreal. I mean, he's he's funny within

795
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: the team when he needs to be. And I'll tell

796
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: you this, one of the things I've learned from him

797
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: is the way that he just protects his team and

798
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: with the media, and he wants to give the media.

799
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: He understands that they have a job to do right

800
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: like we all do, and he respects that but but

801
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: it all costs, he will he will, you know, defend

802
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: and protect his football team and that's that served his

803
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: teams well over the years. So you were assistant defensive

804
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: backs coach in that Super Bowl thirty nine when Eagles

805
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: played the Patriots on Andy Reid's staff, what do you

806
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: I don't want you to maybe answer for him, but

807
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: if you had to look at the way that game

808
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: unfolded and how everything played out, what do you think

809
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: coach Read can kind of pull from that to apply

810
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: to this second opportunity in a Super Bowl. Yeah? Well,

811
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: knowing Andy like I do, he he took great notes

812
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: from that first experience in the Super Bowl. It was

813
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: Jacksonville two thousand and three, two thousand and four season,

814
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: I believe, or two thousand and four or five season there.

815
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: But you know that was a close game really for

816
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: the large through the better part of three quarters and

817
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: against really with two good football teams. And so I'm

818
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: sure Andy has pulled out all the notes this week

819
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: and some last week as he as he went into

820
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: the to the experience here, and um I would just

821
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: say overall that he will not leave a stone unturned

822
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: as he prepares his football team for this for this game. Um. Yeah,

823
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: and we were talking about a lot of other stuff.

824
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: I want to ask you too about this offseason and

825
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: how it's gone. You've got When your team starts to

826
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: have success, it's hard to keep it together. You got

827
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: a lot of free you got a list of free

828
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: agent guys and guys you have a lot of affection for,

829
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: and guys like Lorenzo retiring. Also your staff. Brian Dable

830
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: was in a finalist for the Cleveland Browns job. I mean,

831
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: you gotta tip your hat to him kind of give

832
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: him a padd on the back for being recognized as

833
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: that what I mean, how difficult is it gonna be?

834
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: You know? And I said the team's gonna look different

835
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, you got a corps. You gotta you

836
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: know staff that's gonna say. You got a new defensive

837
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: line coach and Eric Washington. It's hard to say goodbye

838
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: to those guys and to know that it's gonna change

839
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: and maybe hopefully change for the better. But you gotta

840
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: build it and start from scratch. Yeah, that's why, Steve Chris,

841
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: every year is new. You know it sounds like an adage,

842
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: but it's real. I mean, every year is new. Ever,

843
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: because every team is new and so the challenges, the

844
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: challenges you got to start over again, and so you know,

845
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: you try and carry as much over as you can.

846
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: But as far as people go, in this case coaches,

847
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: we're fortunate to have Eric Washington here, excuse me, and

848
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: we have a long history together and he's has a

849
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: proven track record of developing players young and old. And

850
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: then with Brian, you know, this is not the first

851
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: time a team has come calling this offseason. More than

852
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 1: any to this point in my tenure is the head coach.

853
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: People have reached out and said, hey, what about this coach?

854
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: What about that coach? And that's you love it because

855
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: it means that you're that people respect what you do

856
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: and how you're doing it and whatnot. The hard part

857
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: is keeping it all together and that's what you have

858
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: to do if you want to continue to grow. Speaking

859
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: of guys doing things the right way, defensive coordinator for

860
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: the Chief, Steve Spagnolo, who is a former colleague of

861
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: yours on that Eagle staff under Andy Reid. I mean

862
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: what he's done to turn that defense around over the

863
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: second half of the season. Again, I know you've got

864
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: your ear to the ground with what you're doing here

865
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: during the course of the season, But when you get

866
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: to the end of the season and you have a

867
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: chance to maybe explore what else is going on in

868
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: the league when you have a coach and a colleague

869
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,959
Speaker 1: like that that really can kind of make that kind

870
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: of a change for the better with his respective unit,

871
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: just from coach to coach, is that something that maybe

872
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 1: you take a closer look at. I mean, we always

873
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: hear copycat league this, that, and the other. And I'm

874
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: not saying you're copying what he's doing, but when you

875
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: see another coach in the league have success to that level,

876
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: does that draw eyeballs from other coaches in the league

877
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: to take a look at in the off season with

878
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: the various projects that it's really impressive what he's been

879
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 1: able to do within one season to your point, really

880
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: transforming that defense. And look, they've done a really a

881
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: fantastic job, Brett Veach, their general manager, of getting talent

882
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: to the roster and then some of the roster getting

883
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: healthy through this season. Having said that, it takes it

884
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: takes a rudder to steer their ship and that and

885
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: Steve has done a great job with that. Spags as

886
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: he referred to in our league and man, just an

887
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: incredible job. And the growth mindset that we embrace here,

888
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: that'll be a big part of our offseason studies and

889
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 1: the off season conversations and and our growth is to say, hey,

890
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,479
Speaker 1: identifying not only the Chiefs defense, but other defenses, other

891
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: systems out there, offense, special teams the same way of Hey,

892
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: what did you do, what did you like that worked,

893
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: and what would you recommend? And so that's part of

894
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 1: our growth this offseason. Last thing I got for you? Yeah,

895
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: so we're you know, super Bowl week and this offseason

896
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: is about to kick off in full force. What's on

897
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: your plate? Like, what is your project of the week

898
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: or what are you and Brandon being talking about your

899
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: coaching staff? What's at this time of year? What do

900
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 1: you do well? It's it's a it's a mixed bag. Really.

901
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: There's free agency on the horizon right now. There's also

902
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: understanding our roster and making sure that we retain as

903
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: many of our guys as we've discussed that we can

904
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: and keeping it as as together as possible. That's key. Um.

905
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: There's also growing schematically. We're evaluating our schemes, our systems

906
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: as we just discussed and and also finding other places

907
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: uh by which to learn from and so um we

908
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,239

912
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: challenging us as well to each and every one of

913
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: us to improve and um and continue to grow. And

914
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,600

00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: a standard and then you continue to raise that bar

941
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: the other side with Joel Corey, NFL CAP analyst is

942
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: he kind of breaks down where things are headed here

943
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 1: in the off season, including the potential for musical chairs

944
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 1: at quarterback with all the free agents at that position

945
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: this offseason. It's One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive.

946
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio back on One Bill's Live.

947
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve tasking with you that was a good

948
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: talk with coach McDermott. Yeah, he's been he's never been

949
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: big on personal accolades, but that's got to feel good.

950
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: I mean, just in a private moment, he's just got

951
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: to sit there and say, if nothing else, he lives

952
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: in a world where twenty five percent of the guys

953
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: that do his job get fired every year, and right

954
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: now he's on the other end of that spectrum. Right

955
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: he's as far away from that as you can get,

956
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: which is great, Which is awesome, and not only for him,

957
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: for Bills, fans and for the players who they're trying

958
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: to develope that's one of the things about him. And

959
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: you can in that question we asked him about what's

960
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: on his plate. You know, this week it's all about,

961
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: you know, let's get better. We gotta we gotta get

962
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: better here, we gotta evaluate this, we are trying to

963
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: learn this, gotta gotta get less of this. Why I

964
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: asked him that question About Spagnolo, I mean, he's obviously

965
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: another coach that coach McDermott clearly respects. He worked with

966
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: him in Philly. A matter of fact, he replaced him

967
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: as defensive backs coach and they and they had Spagnolo

968
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: become the linebackers coach. So coach McDermott was assistant DB's

969
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: coach alongside Spagnolo, who was the secondary coach. So they

970
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: worked very closely for for several years in Philadelphia. And

971
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,240
Speaker 1: so you know, he's got his nickname, Spags is his nickname?

972
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: This then the other. That's why I asked him that question,

973
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: because when you see another coach that you respect in

974
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: the league do something like Spagnolo has done in the

975
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: second half of the season, you know, getting that run

976
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: defense from like twenty sixth in the league and then

977
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: over the last eight weeks they're like top five. Yeah,

978
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're run defenses out of this world.

979
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: So you're doing some watching some film on that. That's

980
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: why I asked them, how many eyeballs does that draw

981
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: from the rest of the coaching community. It draws eyeballs.

982
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: In the off season, these guys are doing their off

983
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: season projects. Well, let's take a look and see what

984
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs did. Why were they so successful? What did

985
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: they do to turn that around? Is that something we

986
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: can incorporate into our defense. That's all they're working on that,

987
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: That's all they do. And then and then there's also

988
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: stuff going on with and they you got it is

989
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: a big machine. It's a corporation. So you got this

990
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,720
Speaker 1: wing over here that's doing nothing but looking at college

991
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: scouting film, and these guys over here they're watching the

992
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: same film. The coaches are about schemes or not, but

993
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: they're watching the individual players see who they can sign

994
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: in free agency. You know, they're they're attacking it on

995
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: all fronts. And I think the mindsetting he said this.

996
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 1: They had a presentation today self improvement from outside the building,

997
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: the outside perspective. So it's it's you gotta think that

998
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 1: they're not resting on their laurels exactly at all. It's

999
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: it's good to see um. And you got to think too,

1000
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: they're looking. They've got their eyes set on some players

1001
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: around the National Football League that fit their rubber stamp.

1002
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: They've got some money to spend, they've got the wherewithal

1003
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 1: to do it, and I think word is getting out

1004
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: about how good a vibe it is here in the

1005
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: locker room. And it'll be interesting to see how it

1006
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: takes shape. It's gonna be another interesting offseason for this club.

1007
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: All Right, we got to take a break here at

1008
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,720

1010
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: He'll break down things and where the cap is headed,

1011
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: how teams will approach it, and maybe even a forecast

1012
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: into free agency and that potential musical chair situation at

1013
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback position with all of the qbs whose contracts

Speaker 1: to twenty. It's gonna be a good amount of people.

1066
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: Ask our guests here, how many people are coming to

1067
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: his house? Yeah? Right, I think Joel's got other ideas.

1068
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: Joining us on the line is CBS Sports, NFL salary

1069
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: cap analyst, free agent analyst. He does it all, particularly

1070
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: in the offseason. We're getting too He's like an accountant.

1071
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: He's getting to his busy he's getting busy. He's getting

1072
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: to his busy season now. But Joel Corey joining us

1073
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: on the line. Joel, how are you? Thanks for joining us? Oh,

1074
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. How are you guys doing? We're doing good.

1075
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: And you know, as we hit the off season, you know,

1076
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: the ultimate game obviously happening on Sunday, a lot of

1077
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: people's focus, at least NFL fans focus turns to free agency,

1078
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: the draft, and the salary cap. Although the cap kind

1079
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,479
Speaker 1: of has a little bit different meaning now, doesn't it, Joel?

1080
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: It's not as stringent as it used to be because

1081
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: it's going up twelve to thirteen million dollars every year. Yeah,

1082
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: there were years when the cap was barely going up.

1083
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:39,240
Speaker 1: Nominal increases so it was a real crunch for teams.

1084
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:44,240
Speaker 1: But we've had six seven percent growth in recent years.

1085
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: Caps should be around two hundred million. It's one eighty

1086
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: eight point two right now. And you can also carry

1087
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: over cap room unused cap room from one year to

1088
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: the next, which you couldn't under the previous CBA. So yeah,

1089
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: teams aren't as cap strap as they've been in the past.

1090
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: There's some that still are, like a land in Minnesota,

1091
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: but there's some teams like the Bills, could have eighty

1092
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: million in cap room to play with when the new

1093
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: league year starts. What is the biggest obstacle for teams

1094
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: to to work the cap? If it's going up this

1095
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: much every year, and I know that you kind of

1096
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: have an eye on the future of it, do they

1097
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 1: do they keep anticipating the growth is going to continue

1098
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: or is they gonna plateau for a minute like it

1099
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: did in years past? And what's the biggest obstacle for

1100
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: these teams? So it's it's gonna keep going up for

1101
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: one reason that the lifeblood the salary cap is TV money,

1102
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 1: and the TV deals are going to be renegotiated probably

1103
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: in the next twelve to eighteen months and there have

1104
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: been some TV executives who think that the new deals

1105
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: will be an increase of twenty five to thirty percent,

1106
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 1: and with that type of increase, that's going to dramatically

1107
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: impact the cap and it's going to go up significantly.

1108
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: One thing that teams like to look at is do

1109
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: I want to actually pay the money to the guy

1110
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: aside from the cap number? And even though the cap

1111
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 1: goes up, since the spending minimum is over a four

1112
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: year period and not year to year like it is

1113
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: in the NBA, you don't necessarily have to spend money

1114
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: in each particular year. So you could actually hold cap

1115
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: room for two years, three years and then calling a

1116
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 1: spending spree and still being compliance. I hope that's something

1117
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 1: that the Player Association changes and as a shorter window,

1118
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, more than two years where teams have to

1119
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: be in compliance with minimum spending. I got one thing

1120
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: I got to ask you about two You say that

1121
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: TV money is going to go up twenty five to

1122
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: thirty percent, what about the extra platforms that are out there,

1123
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: the Internet, the live streaming and all of the stuff

1124
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: that is also a revenue stream? Is that going to

1125
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: I know that the online views and the streamers. The

1126
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: online streamers are really mushrooming in their amount of percentage

1127
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: that they're pulling away from their networks. Is that gonna

1128
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: also expand? Yeah, I'm kind of using the term TV

1129
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: money loosely. That's inclusive of all different new platforms as well. Um,

1130
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,959
Speaker 1: So that's what I mean by twenty five thirty percent

1131
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: increase in The big thing to watch is ABC, uh

1132
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: supposedly wants back in for a Sunday package. And anytime

1133
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: you have an network that's on the outside looking in

1134
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: that wants in back in, that is great for the league, right, Yeah,

1135
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: because they're gonna pay top dollars and there's gonna be

1136
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: a bidding one. So how here's an interesting question, Joel

1137
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: that I don't know is necessarily on the radar yet

1138
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: for a lot of fans as far as they look

1139
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: at their teams. But with this CBA coming up, you

1140
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: know in twenty twenty one, how is that impacting NFL

1141
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: clubs in terms of how they're going to be structuring contracts. Here,

1142
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: you got a player on your roster that you want

1143
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: to sign to a five year deal because you value

1144
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: that guy, you want to keep them in the fray

1145
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: or on the roster, but you don't know what the

1146
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: future holds. How do you structure a contract to accommodate that?

1147
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: And maybe from an agent's perspective, how cautious are you

1148
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: and letting a player of yours sign a five year

1149
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: deal that you know is going to bridge one CBA

1150
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: to the other. Well, from a team perspective, I can't

1151
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: imagine that the deal is going to be any more

1152
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: owner friendly than this current one. So it would be

1153
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: advantageous for a team to sign a player now as

1154
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: opposed to under the new CBA landscape, because presumably the

1155
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: revenue percentage of players get will go up, and especially

1156
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: if there's a seventeenth game added. It's always been better

1157
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: for the team if you identify a core player to

1158
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: get them done sooner rather than later. Just look at

1159
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: Dallas with Dak Prescott. Had they been trying to get

1160
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: the deal done in earnest this time last year, maybe

1161
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: they don't have to deal with the fact that you

1162
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: had multiple quarterbacks hit the thirty million dollars per year

1163
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: mark Er Moore, And now you have to contend with

1164
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott after having his best year statistically, even though

1165
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:22,479
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, but possibly becoming the highest paid

1166
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: player in the league, at least on a temporary basis

1167
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: until Patrick Mahomes if he gets a deal done this

1168
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 1: offseason signs. So so from an Asian perspective, Joel, you don't.

1169
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna see a glut of one and

1170
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: two year contracts because none of these agents want to

1171
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: be the fall guys and make a mistake with a

1172
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: long term deal. I mean, how do you do that

1173
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: with a Dak Prescott. I don't know how that happens. Well,

1174
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: it's all going to depend on, first the objective of

1175
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: the player. Dak Prescott's never had any type of what

1176
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: we call real NFL money. What he's made is great

1177
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: money for the average person in life, but in terms

1178
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:02,479
Speaker 1: of NFL standardsno, So when you're in a situation like that,

1179
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna try to achieve lifetime security, but do

1180
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 1: a deal which is no longer than four new years

1181
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: so that you can get another bite of the apple

1182
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: and take advantage of what the new landscape is going

1183
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: to be under the next CBA and the other TV deals.

1184
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: And also you got to remember that the agent works

1185
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: for the player. It's not the other way around. So

1186
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: you got to take your cues from the player, because

1187
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: sometimes the agent will look at it from the standpoint

1188
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: if left to his own devices, if I can get

1189
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: the guy money, and I'm going to get a commission,

1190
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: and that's not how you're supposed to represent players, and

1191
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: that will take the priority, and you may do some

1192
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 1: players may be done in disservice because of that. Quite frankly. Yeah,

1193
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: And it comes down to really what the player wants

1194
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: and what's important and what he thinks is on the table.

1195
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: What let's talk about some of the guys that are

1196
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: the most centerpiece conversations of the offseason. Drew Brees, Tom Brady,

1197
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: I know you had an article earlier on CBS Sports

1198
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: dot Com that about what you think will happen, and

1199
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: I kind am with you. Drew Brees has made it

1200
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: clear he doesn't want he wants to retire as a saint,

1201
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: and to me and I think deep down Tom Brady

1202
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: would have a really hard time walking out of New

1203
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: England as well. Do you think all of this stuff

1204
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: that we see from Tom Brady and or Drew Brees

1205
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: and leading up to this offseason as posturing Well, the

1206
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: real question of Breezes is he gonna keep playing football. Right.

1207
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: If he's gonna play, he's made it clear it's with

1208
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: the Saints, and he would be a one year bridge deal.

1209
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Presumably Taysim Hill would take over for twenty twenty one.

1210
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: He's a restricted free agent this year. They gonna stick

1211
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: a first round tender on him since he's undrafted, and

1212
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: basically keep his rights for about four point seven million.

1213
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Breeze took a discount last time, for the first time

1214
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: in his career. The deal did. He signed the two

1215
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: year to average twenty five millions, so he's not going

1216
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: to try to break the bank. Now. Brady's the interesting one.

1217
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: He's never been a free agent, never been recruited by anybody.

1218
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: New England didn't do a great job this year in

1219
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: surrounding him with offensive weapons, and this is the first

1220
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: time Father Time really started to show that he's beginning

1221
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: to catch up with Brady. Belichick may not want him

1222
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: back because the Patriot way has been it's better to

1223
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: get rid of a player a year too soon as

1224
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 1: opposed to a year too late. He's an unchartered territory

1225
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: because nobody's ever played as a starting quarterback at his age,

1226
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: so you don't know when the wheels are going to

1227
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: fall off. It could be quick. Maybe he keeps defying time,

1228
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: but I would imagine that he's going to be looking

1229
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: at these seriously, thing about leaving. What opportunity gives me

1230
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: the best chance to win again? What are the offensive weapons? Like,

1231
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: who's the coordinator? Who's the head coach? Do I have

1232
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: to learn a new system and will be able to

1233
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: import some, if not all, of what I've been doing

1234
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: in New England? Kind of like Peyton Manning when he

1235
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: left Indie basically brought the offense to Denver. But still

1236
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it when he leaves

1237
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: in New Ancorge. Yeah, what about the you know, I mean,

1238
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned Brady Breeze, you know some of the bigger names.

1239
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: But you got a slew of free agent quarterbacks, both

1240
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: starters and backups that are going to be out there.

1241
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: What do you anticipate the landscape will be? Like? Do

1242
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: you think it's gonna be a bidding war situation? Do

1243
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: you think it's a situation where maybe there's a domino

1244
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: effect where one quarterback land somewhere different and then everybody

1245
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 1: starts rushing into the pool to try to grab somebody.

1246
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of curious because this is a little

1247
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 1: unique in terms of the number of starting quarterbacks whose

1248
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: contracts are up. I mean, you can run down the list, Tannehill, Winston, Breeze,

1249
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Brady Rivers, case like, all of these guys, and then

1250
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: you have backups too, and you got I mean, you

1251
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: got a slew of quarterbacks here that are going to

1252
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: be in the pool that have NFL game is under

1253
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: their belt. So how do you think that's going to

1254
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: play once we get to March. Oh, definitely plays into

1255
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: the team's hands because typically demand exceeds supply. Not this year,

1256
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be supply exceeds demand, simple economic equation.

1257
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: So like, let's take Tampa for instance. Bruce Arians has

1258
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 1: had some pretty negative things to say about Jameis Winston

1259
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: since at the beginning of the off season. Would they

1260
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: put a franchise tag on him? Bring him back to

1261
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: twenty seven because I'd never give the guy a long

1262
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: term deal. Right now, he's the first guy ever in

1263
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: the thirty touchdown thirty interception club. You know, he threw

1264
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: for five thousand yards. Practically. Philip Rivers may or may

1265
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: not be out of LA but he's not the long

1266
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: term answer, and they have a high enough pick where

1267
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: they could draft a replacement. He's moving to Florida. Would

1268
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: he be someone that um Aarons would bring in any

1269
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: Hill played great in Tennessee, right, ten Hill and Mariota

1270
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: are both free agents. I mean, Tennessee's got Henry, right,

1271
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: and so Tennessee's gotta do some make some major decisions

1272
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: in that and they were in the playoffs this year. Yeah,

1273
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Fortunately you can use both tags and the last year's

1274
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: a CBA. Oh that's that it provided there isn't a

1275
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: new labor agreement, then it's back to one. So they

1276
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: could franchise and transition both Henry and tanny Hill, so

1277
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: neither one leaves. But I would be reluctant to pay

1278
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: tanny Hill long term because he a one year wonder

1279
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: or is this what you get on a go forward basis?

1280
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: And then the wildcard is um I don't know if

1281
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: it's an upgrade at this point because tanny Hill played great,

1282
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: And that's kind of harked me kem being gonna say this,

1283
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: but Brady has ties to Tennessee's former teammate Mike Braybell

1284
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: is the head coach. Would they make the switch if

1285
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: Tanny Hill's um demands are too excessive. So yeah, this

1286
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be an interesting quarterback dynamic. Plus Carolina might

1287
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: put Mike shop Cam Newton, Andy Dalton's probably gonna be Yeah,

1288
01:05:57,560 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's going to be the first pick unless someone

1289
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:01,959
Speaker 1: not the socks off an offer. So there are plenty

1290
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,919
Speaker 1: of ways you can get a quarterback a right. Last

1291
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: one I had for you, Joel Is, just in regards

1292
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: to you, mentioned franchise tag, possibly for Tannehill. How do

1293
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: you see franchise tag being used this year? Do you

1294
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: think in light of this quarterback supply that teams will

1295
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: be more apt to tag somebody just to kind of

1296
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: tie them over for this year? How do you see

1297
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: the tag being used not just on quarterback but just

1298
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: in general. Well, since there's so many different quarterbacks out there,

1299
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: you may not necessarily have to use one. Because even

1300
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: take Tady Bridgewater be available, he played well and breezers

1301
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: out that he was five and oh looks like he

1302
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: should be a starter. So I don't think you're get see.

1303
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Rivers gets tagged. No, think there's a

1304
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 1: divorced there. Jamis fifty fifty proposition. I think Tennessee tags

1305
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 1: Tanny Hill and they try to do a short term deal.

1306
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: If not, they'll roll the dice on the tag. But

1307
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: there are a couple of teams that probably will use

1308
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: both tags. Dallas is in particular, Dak Prescott's going nowhere.

1309
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: He's getting a franchise tag. They'll probably stick the transition

1310
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: tag on Amari Cooper. I said Tennessee could do both.

1311
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: Then if they do put one on Jamis Winston, then

1312
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Shaquille Barrett would get the transition tag. If not, he's

1313
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: going to get franchise. He's left the NFL and Sacks

1314
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: bound himself on a one year deal, so he's going

1315
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: to break the bank one already. Other. Yeah, last question

1316
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: I've got for you is about the Super Bowl and

1317
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks involved, mainly Patrick Mahomes, who's in his third years. Time.

1318
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be time any minute now for him to

1319
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 1: get extended. Is he gonna get a two hundred million

1320
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: dollars deal? I don't know. If it's two hundred million,

1321
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: he should be the first forty million dollars per year

1322
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: player in the NFL. But if being the first two

1323
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar player means I have to give up

1324
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: more than four new years, and I'm assuming that that

1325
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 1: would be he'd be under contract six years because of

1326
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: the option would be exercise. I don't want to be

1327
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: that guy. If I have to give more than four

1328
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: new years, I'd rather do the four new years, come

1329
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: in at the low forties, be under two hundred overall

1330
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: for the six years, and be up a year sooner. Right.

1331
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing too. I think for most players,

1332
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't understand this or get it,

1333
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 1: they're kind of ready to bet on themselves if they

1334
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: can get a shorter term contract. They know the numbers

1335
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: are doing nothing but going up, and even if they're mediocre,

1336
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: they may be get mediocre is compared to now. They

1337
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: maybe get more money down the road just for being

1338
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: mediocre rather than great now, am I right? Yeah? The

1339
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: case in point is Kirk Cousins. He signed a three

1340
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: year deal. You can't stick a transition tag on him.

1341
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: The franchise tag number is going to be like forty

1342
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: five million, So he's coming into a contract year. Vikings

1343
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: are gonna have to start negotiating with them if they

1344
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 1: want to make sure he's here after the twenty twenty season.

1345
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: That's the beauty, beauty of a three year deal. Most

1346
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 1: of the other quarterbacks are going up four new years.

1347
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: I don't think my homes can get away. He's giving

1348
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: up less than four new years, but I wouldn't do

1349
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: any more than that, all right, Joel, listen, we appreciate

1350
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: the time, and I'm sure we'll be talking to you

1351
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,560
Speaker 1: down the line here as free agency draws closer. We

1352
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 1: appreciate the insight. Oh thanks for having me, guys appreciates

1353
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: Joel Corey from CBS Sports. The salary cap analyst extraordinaire

1354
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: Frank Apports Agent's handled guys in contract negotiations, so he

1355
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 1: knows the ins and outs and some of the intricacies

1356
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: of what's good and what's He's right. Kirk Cousins has

1357
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: absolutely made a financial killing him and his leverage right

1358
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: now is fan continues to keep leverage, which is there's

1359
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 1: a lesson to be learned from that, right. And he

1360
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: obviously helped himself by finally winning a playoff game up there,

1361
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: beating the Saints down in New Orleans in an exciting

1362
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: game there, so he kind of helped himself on the

1363
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: field as much as his agent helped him off the

1364
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: field in terms of the dollars and cents. I think

1365
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:58,759
Speaker 1: mahomes waits, don't you. I know he I know Joel

1366
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: wants him to get into his tract one year early

1367
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: or get out of whatever extension he signs a year early.

1368
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: Only do like a four year deal so you get

1369
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: another kick at the cat when the new CBA's in

1370
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 1: place and everything. But I'm really curious how they're going

1371
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: to handle that to you. Just take the pay day now,

1372
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: become the first you know, he said forty million. I

1373
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: mean that's a huge jump the four year one hundred

1374
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,520
Speaker 1: and sixty million bucks. Depends on how much of it's guaranteed,

1375
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: structured anyway you want. It's a pretty complicated scenario when

1376
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: you start talking about big numbers. Yeah, but I just

1377
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: think things get really hairy with this CBA and knowing

1378
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: that it's got to be negotiated. How do you as

1379
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 1: an agent if you've got a contract that's gonna bridge

1380
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 1: one CBA to the other. You know, you got this

1381
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 1: whole seventeenth game, how do you build in incentives into

1382
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: the contract if you're playing one more regular season game

1383
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: per year? You know, how do you judge numbers, all

1384
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 1: of that stuff. And here's what for people who are

1385
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: out there listening, don't the CBA, the Collective Bargaining AREAM,

1386
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: is being negotiated right now and there could be and

1387
01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 1: usually is a ramification. When that thing signed that it

1388
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 1: changes the way business is allowed to be done in

1389
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:06,679
Speaker 1: these contracts. So you don't really want to get caught

1390
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: in a long term deal after the CBA is agreed to,

1391
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 1: because you may be leaving money on the table, or

1392
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: leverage or a tactic on the table that may benefit you.

1393
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: A lot of what guys do is they will play

1394
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: or sign their contract through the first year the CBA

1395
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: so they can let the dust settle and then when

1396
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: when they see one round of contracts come through, and

1397
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: then they can evaluate it and they say, ah, now

1398
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 1: my contracts up and I know it were exactly where

1399
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 1: I can hit them where it hurts or make some hay.

1400
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,600
Speaker 1: So they give you want to you want to have

1401
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 1: your contract expire soon after the first round of negotiations

1402
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: are done, so you can kind of watch guys do

1403
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: it and watch where teams test because believe me, the

1404
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: NFL's doing that. They're gonna exploit every loophole they can,

1405
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: and you've got to add you know, like like, for instance,

1406
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: you can't like the franchise clause. Players are having it

1407
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: written in you can't franchise me at the end of

1408
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: this contract. That's a big thing for cousins, for cousins

1409
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: among them. Yeah, so that's that's big eighth three, five

1410
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 1: fifty one, eight eight, five fifty two, five fifty. We're

1411
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: talking Super Bowl outings and maybe what your cap limit

1412
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: would be if you went down to the Super Bowl

1413
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: if the Bills in fact get back there at some

1414
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: point in the near future. So we're discussing that. We're

1415
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: taking some of your Super Bowl memories from the times

1416
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: you've been to the Big Game, and maybe some crazy stories.

1417
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 1: We had a call earlier city Muhammad Ali outside the stadium,

1418
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, bumped into him, of all things unbelievable. So

1419
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 1: we'll continue to take those. But Steve and I have

1420
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 1: some other things to discuss NFL wise, and obviously coming

1421
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: up at two o'clock, we'll be Jeff Reinbold, who was

1422
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: an NFL analyst for Sky Sports. He's also the special

1423
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: teams coordinator for the CFLs Hamilton Tiger Cats, so we'll

1424
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: talk to him about a bunch of topics concerning the

1425
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: football world, including one Cole Beasley, who we coached down

1426
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: at SMU back in Beasley's college days. But Steve and

1427
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 1: I back in a moment, we're stepping aside right now.

1428
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: It's One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive. This is

1429
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Back on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

1430
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you as we head into the second

1431
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 1: half of the program, taking you up until three pm

1432
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: this afternoon, having a little fun with people's Super Bowl plans, outings, expenditures,

1433
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: all the things that people do on this crazy week

1434
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,600
Speaker 1: where some people, quite frankly, Steve, just go nuts. They

1435
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: just spend oodles of cash because they want to be

1436
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: a part of the spectacle that is the Super Bowl

1437
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 1: in the week leading up to the game. And I

1438
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 1: know we've already gone over some of the more lavish

1439
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: packages being offered down in Miami this year. We mentioned

1440
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 1: the top and one at one and a half million dollars,

1441
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: which included a four day cruise around the Caribbean after

1442
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 1: the game, in addition to everything leading up to it.

1443
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Here's with you and nineteen and your best friends. Yeah,

1444
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: here's the thing, too, but you got to know this,

1445
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 1: it would probably be even more. And let's face it,

1446
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 1: we had there's a lot of tension around Bills fans

1447
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 1: for this last wild card game right where they won

1448
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: the wild where they won or didn't win. You know,

1449
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: then they ended up losing the wild card game to Houston.

1450
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: In Houston, there's a lot of Yeah, there's a lot

1451
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,759
Speaker 1: of tension in that game for a lot of Bills fans.

1452
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:42,759
Speaker 1: You got to multiply that by fifty for a super Bowl.

1453
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 1: So you gotta put that into perspective. You say, yeah,

1454
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to go get once in a lifetime thing.

1455
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: Yet you gotta think of this shape you're gonna be

1456
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: in watching your team play in the super Bowl. It is.

1457
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 1: It is unbelievably pressure packed. And so a lot of

1458
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: people are smart enough to know, you know what, I

1459
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: couldn't be around strangers, right, you know that is why

1460
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 1: and to a surprising degree for me anyway, that the

1461
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: majority of the people responding to our Twitter poll are

1462
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: choosing to stay home. So the Twitter poll today at

1463
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, if it were the Bills in the

1464
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, would you a spend whatever it takes to

1465
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 1: get to the game b just get to the host

1466
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: city to party it up for the whole week, or

1467
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: see being Buffalo out with fans at a bar, or

1468
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: d have to be home with the candles lit, wearing

1469
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: your lucky jersey or whatever. So and overwhelmingly, I mean,

1470
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 1: it's almost half the respondence here, Steve are saying, have

1471
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 1: to be home so you're either a tight with your

1472
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: purse strings or be you don't want to deal with

1473
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: any strange people right plus or they're super status. They're

1474
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: twenty five or twenty seven percent of the people here

1475
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: also are gonna be either in the city or at

1476
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, you know, like twenty five percent of

1477
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: the people. And then everybody else said, you know what,

1478
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be here in Buffalo. What does it Seventy

1479
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 1: two percent of the people say, I'm gonna be here

1480
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, and I'm gonna do it probably the way

1481
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: they always do it, you knows, right for away games

1482
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: or what have you. I'm gonna be here. But I

1483
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 1: think it's amazing that two, like well almost half forty

1484
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: five percent of the people are gonna do it just

1485
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,639
Speaker 1: like they always do it. You know, I'm gonna I'm

1486
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: not gonna do anything special for the Super Bowl, that

1487
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I'm gonna watch it because you know that,

1488
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 1: you know the moment where you know the clock hits zero,

1489
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: if your team's winning the Super Bowl, you want to

1490
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 1: go out. Yeah. Eight. But let's take a look to

1491
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,559
Speaker 1: see what people are saying on the tweet sheet brought

1492
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official moving provider

1493
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, And we begin with Brent, who

1494
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 1: is choosing a on his list spend whatever it takes

1495
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 1: to get there, to get to the game. He said,

1496
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: I didn't attend to any of the first four super Bowls,

1497
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: and who knows if they will make it for a

1498
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: fifth time. Sixth Well he's saying sixth, yeah, because if

1499
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: if he's gonna he doesn't know if they'll make one

1500
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 1: after the one he's gonna go to. Oh I see

1501
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: what he's saying. This may be if he's at treating

1502
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: it like it's a once in a lifetime, So I

1503
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: must attend when I have the chance. So all right,

1504
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 1: I get that. Yeah, this would be their fifth appearance

1505
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl if they were to go, And

1506
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: he didn't know if they'll get a net another one,

1507
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: So he's got to go if he's got the chance.

1508
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 1: Also from the process, I was in Atlanta for Bill's

1509
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I was twenty seven, twenty eight. Our ticket

1510
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: order broker or ticket broker sold the tickets for more

1511
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 1: money to somebody else. They were stuck in Atlanta, watched

1512
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:30,640
Speaker 1: the game in a bar. Wasn't fun. They sued, got

1513
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:32,760
Speaker 1: all their money back, and then got tickets for eight

1514
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: hundred each, which was a lot of money in the

1515
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 1: nineties and in twenty twenty if you can't you can't

1516
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: even park for eight hundred bucks. So he's the prices

1517
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: the real fans right out of the game. So yeah,

1518
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean there is truth to that. There is That's

1519
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 1: another experience largely made up of suits, corporate people, and

1520
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:52,799
Speaker 1: that's what all these these lavish ticket packages that we've mentioned.

1521
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:55,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of corporations buy them for their executives

1522
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: or for their corporate partners and all that kind of thing.

1523
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: And that's where the market is. And and he's right,

1524
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: it does take a lot of money and a lot

1525
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: of effort to get down there and take part in

1526
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: the festivities and be there a game day from Brian says,

1527
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 1: I would love to see the Bills in the super Bowl.

1528
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: But it costs way too much for normal people to attend.

1529
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: Plus I've seen too many losses to see one in person.

1530
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: I'd rather cry at home if needed. Well, that's not

1531
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: a very positive outlook. And here you get here, and

1532
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: there is something to do do about this too. You go

1533
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: to a game, it's not just say that. For instance,

1534
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: say the Bills played the forty nine Ers in the

1535
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: super Bowl. It's not just Bills and forty nine Ers fans.

1536
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 1: In fact, it's a lot of just neutral people who

1537
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 1: are just there, you know whatever. So it's it's a

1538
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: different type of atmosphere. And if you don't like that, rabbit,

1539
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: it's not Yeah, so I get it. I mean, you know,

1540
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: you want to watch it with your people, right right,

1541
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: which is what Bills Chick says. The real party will

1542
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 1: be in Buffalo. But the Super Bowl is a once

1543
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 1: in a lifetime type of events. So I would probably

1544
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 1: try to go to the game if I could, just

1545
01:18:56,479 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 1: to have that experience once in my life. Get that,

1546
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: And then I mean, yeah, it's kind of a pilgrimage,

1547
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 1: especially if your team's in it, you know, right, Yeah,

1548
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: And here's the thing to you, and this was part

1549
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: of our our prerequisite for having this question. You know what,

1550
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 1: if you were going to spend money go down there

1551
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,480
Speaker 1: and do it. What are your must haves? And Stanley

1552
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 1: says this, My dreams to go to the Super Bowl.

1553
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: So I try to pull any strings I could to

1554
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 1: get a couple of tickets, but I need my dad

1555
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 1: and my brother to come along, and depending on how

1556
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: all this happens, my son as well. If not, I'm

1557
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,600
Speaker 1: staying home. So you gotta there's some people that have

1558
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,679
Speaker 1: those conditions. They listen. If I can't get my people

1559
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: in the stadium with me, yeah, I gotta like either

1560
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 1: for superstition's sake or just for the experience sake. If

1561
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: you if you don't have certain must haves, you ain't going.

1562
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 1: And I get it. That makes a lot of sense

1563
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: to me because I think I'm in the same kind

1564
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: of boat. I mean, I kind of go down there

1565
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 1: by yourself. Yeah, let's see what you gotta say on

1566
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 1: the phones at eight oh three five fifty one, eight

1567
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty and we go to

1568
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: the phones, we go to is this it's Dan and Clarence. Dan,

1569
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 1: what do you have for us as far as a

1570
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl experience here sir, Hey guys, how are you

1571
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: good doing well? Good? Hey, I've been too. I've been

1572
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: fortunate to go to two Super Bowls in my life.

1573
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 1: First one was the New York Giants and Patriots. Oh

1574
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: wow when they caught the pass and the endow against

1575
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: his helmet, right. And then it went to next year

1576
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: to Arizona Pittsburgh Super Bowl, which was another great game, right,

1577
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean Santonio Holmes right at the end of the game,

1578
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: and two great host cities. Right. Um. But what I

1579
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: found different about the Super Bowl, um, I'm as bill

1580
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 1: season ticket holder, was that the environment there is it's

1581
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: very corporate. It's kind of sterile. When you get into

1582
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 1: the game, I mean, the game itself is exciting. Um.

1583
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't get any replays or anything on my phone.

1584
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 1: They didn't do any replays up on the jumbo tron

1585
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: when I was there, so if you saw something kind

1586
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: of controversial, they kept it kind of, you know, quiet,

1587
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 1: because they didn't want any obviously, any kind of disruption there. Um.

1588
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,559
Speaker 1: And um I was I was lucky to work for

1589
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 1: a media company. So I sat on a fifty yard

1590
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 1: line probably about twenty rows back. So the view was great,

1591
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: but I was again in the heart of a lot

1592
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,639
Speaker 1: of corporate folks, and then any any of the fans

1593
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 1: from the other cities that traveled in, they tended to

1594
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: be more on the sidelines and kind of out of

1595
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:24,559
Speaker 1: the action and almost a little bit quiet. So it's

1596
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: great to be out of Super Bowl. It's great to

1597
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 1: say that you've been there and experience it, especially if

1598
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: it's the Bills in the Super Bowl. I mean, that

1599
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 1: would be fantastic. But for me, I thought the experience

1600
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: was a little bit sterile. Wasn't as engaging as it

1601
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 1: is being you know, at at the stadium here in Buffalo. Um,

1602
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: the post game parties and pregame when you're in the

1603
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: host city are fantastic celebrities everywhere. Um, we got to meet,

1604
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, really a lot of key celebrities going around.

1605
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: It was Snoop. We got to see Snoop Dogg and

1606
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of other guys. So we certainly had a

1607
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 1: lot of fun there doing that. On the whole cities

1608
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: were great, Um, a lot of great layouts, a lot

1609
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 1: of great things to do, a lot of activities. We

1610
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,639
Speaker 1: got invited to a lot of the pregame activities, so

1611
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: we got to see concerts. Um. They actually had like

1612
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: a like a little super Bowl village when we were there,

1613
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 1: So they had like acrobats in there and giveaways and

1614
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: other things that you can do. So certainly a lot

1615
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 1: of things to do for the fan. But again, unless

1616
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: it was the Bills um in the Super Bowl. Um,

1617
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,560
Speaker 1: for me being at home watching it on television, celebrating

1618
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:32,479
Speaker 1: with my you know, my family and my friends and

1619
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, hanging out in town and that, you know,

1620
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 1: to me, that was a bit more fun. Yeah, Dan,

1621
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta agree with you. It's it's a

1622
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 1: fun week to go down to lead up to the

1623
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Oh it is. There's no doubt about it.

1624
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: The game is secondary to everything else that goes on

1625
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: in super Bowl City with the events and the the

1626
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: NFL awards dinners and if the commissioners party, uh, and

1627
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of big corporations who throw their own

1628
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: big gal and parties. Um. There's events that the city

1629
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: puts on it that that the dignitaries from Miami will

1630
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 1: put on a you know, there's a parade, there's all

1631
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: of this stuff goes on, and of course then there's

1632
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,640
Speaker 1: the nightlife as well where you can go out and

1633
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: you know and eat and drink and whatever. Uh, there's

1634
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: all these events that are worth going to the city

1635
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: for and you can do one every night, a different

1636
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 1: one every night leading up to up to the game.

1637
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,599
Speaker 1: When you get to the game, there's a mini concert

1638
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: before the game where they play not just the national anthem,

1639
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: but God Bless America. They have awards, ceremonies, they have

1640
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: different things that, you know, video presentations that for the fans,

1641
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 1: everybody in the fan gets a little in their seat,

1642
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,680
Speaker 1: is a little swag bag full of gear that they

1643
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,680
Speaker 1: give away to every ticket holder, and so there's all

1644
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: of that stuff going on, and then finally, you know,

1645
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 1: the game happens and there's a twenty five minute halftime,

1646
01:23:56,840 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, and then you know, the rest of the

1647
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 1: game happens. And that's so it's just one thing after

1648
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 1: another that the game is just a part of. And

1649
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 1: so it is a much much different atmosphere than what

1650
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: we've gotten used to over the last four months of

1651
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: the regular season and playoffs, where it's all about football,

1652
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 1: all about football, all about football, and then all of

1653
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 1: a sudden it's not. And it's for some people that's

1654
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 1: kind of a you put all that blood down, Yeah,

1655
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 1: you put all the cash into that investment. It's like, oh,

1656
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 1: it's not what I thought it was going to be.

1657
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 1: Let's say one more call here before the break. We'll

1658
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: go to John in Hamburg, who has some Super Bowl

1659
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 1: experiences to share. John, when you have for us, Well,

1660
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: I've been to a couple of Super Bowls. I went

1661
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: to twenty six and twenty seven and really enjoyed myself.

1662
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,719
Speaker 1: It's up for it's really heartbreaking to see your team lose.

1663
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: Other than that, I went to Super Bowl three with

1664
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: my father. Oh wow. Yeah, that was probably one of

1665
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: the greatest memories of all time, seeing it's how it

1666
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: turned out to be such a famous game. I still

1667
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 1: got my ticket stub. It was twelve dollars and fifty

1668
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: cents for my seat in the end zone, and that's

1669
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: probably about one thousand percent less than would cost now. Yeah,

1670
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: but it was a great experience. They I don't know

1671
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 1: if people realize this, but they broadcasted on both networks,

1672
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:17,919
Speaker 1: the NBC network, which carried the AFL, and on CBS,

1673
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 1: which carried the NFL. Because I thought was kind of ridiculous,

1674
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,760
Speaker 1: but that's how they did it back then, But those

1675
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: are my memories. They were great memories, and twenty six

1676
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: and twenty seven were great. It was a lot of fun.

1677
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 1: But again, it's just really tough to see your team

1678
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: moves in the Super Bowl. I'd like to go back

1679
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 1: and see them win once. John, My question for you is,

1680
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: how if you were paying enough attention as a young kid,

1681
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 1: how much did the atmosphere change? You know, because everybody

1682
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: said it's all about the suits now, and you know

1683
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 1: the high price corporate people have all the seats. How

1684
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 1: did maybe the atmosphere change from Super Bowl three to

1685
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: the ones you went in twenty six and twenty seven. Well,

1686
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:53,679
Speaker 1: when I was I was only thirteen, so I don't

1687
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: have this great a perspective as I didn't. Oh, but

1688
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: I will say that I don't remember that. It just

1689
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:00,799
Speaker 1: seemed like it was just a out of just regular

1690
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: people there. And and when you go to the when

1691
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 1: you go to the later ones, the twenty six and

1692
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven, it still seemed like it was just mostly

1693
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 1: regular fans there, at least where I was sitting in

1694
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 1: the end zone, and each and every one of them,

1695
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:17,759
Speaker 1: but they were all either dulls fans or Washington fans

1696
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 1: or Dallas fans, and of course the Dallas fans happened

1697
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 1: to be in the same hotel with a lot of

1698
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 1: Dallas fans. That was pretty tough. After the game, I

1699
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 1: would say, it's not that much different. It just seemed

1700
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: like it was just regular fans. Yeah. I didn't. I didn't.

1701
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: I didn't sit in the high priced seats. So maybe

1702
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 1: that's where all the corporate people sit. All right, Well,

1703
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: thanks for the calle John, We appreciate it. We do

1704
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 1: have to take a break here, but we'll be back

1705
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: with more on this. We got some other callers on

1706
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 1: the line because I love hearing these stories, like how

1707
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: it's changed, what they liked, what they didn't like, what

1708
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 1: the atmosphere was like. But man, it seems like the

1709
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: overwhelming opinion is, you know, it's somewhat sterile at these

1710
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 1: Super Bowl games because you have so many neutral fans.

1711
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and more on the other side.

1712
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:03,640
Speaker 1: Here it's One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive. This

1713
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1714
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,719
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we are quick

1715
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 1: to close out our number two of the program. But

1716
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 1: before we do that. There is a specific highlight we

1717
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 1: need to get to that. Steve and I were both

1718
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 1: privileged enough to see those of us who are of

1719
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: the generation of John Madden Pat Summer. All right, we'll

1720
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 1: appreciate this. Yes, So, Frank Caliendo, who was actually on

1721
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 1: this show at one point in time. He's been on

1722
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: our show a couple of times, is a well known

1723
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 1: impersonator of famous people, comedian slash impersonator and does a

1724
01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:54,680
Speaker 1: whole host of voices. He's the guy that famously does

1725
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: John Gruden facial expressions as well as voice, and a

1726
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 1: whole does Chris Burnman. He does a whole bunch of

1727
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 1: different guys well. He also does it pretty darn good

1728
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 1: John Madden and Pat Summer All. Somehow, some way, he

1729
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: has cobbled together the Pat Mahomes scramble run for a

1730
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 1: touchdown in the AFC Championship game. This is Frank Caliendo

1731
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 1: doing Pat Summer All and John Madden simultaneously taking us

1732
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 1: through the play. So for our listening audience and enjoy

1733
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 1: and from our MSG viewing audience, you'll get video to

1734
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: back it up as well. But here we go. Frank

1735
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: Caliendo as Pat summer All and John meddenhome back to pass,

1736
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:48,559
Speaker 1: nobody opened. He scrambles to the sideline and he's out

1737
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 1: of bound. So he is Mahomes inside the fire touchdown

1738
01:28:56,240 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and that just Patrick Mahomes being Patrick Homes

1739
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 1: like they're baking muscles. And there's the Kantus suiting wolf.

1740
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what the wolf has to do with

1741
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: the chase, but I mean, I mean, look at what

1742
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: he does here. I mean, there's nobody over Titans. Things

1743
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 1: just put a run out a boat, but indus run

1744
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 1: out abound. He stays kid bound and then makes guts

1745
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: admitting makes gots hit and then boom touchdown. And when

1746
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 1: you get a touchdown, you get to make the muscles.

1747
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:28,640
Speaker 1: There's the wolves again. What when you make touchdowns you

1748
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:33,640
Speaker 1: get to make muscles. Unbelievable that initially I didn't realize

1749
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,799
Speaker 1: that he was doing summer All or addition to Madden.

1750
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: I thought they just pumped in some man. But obviously

1751
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:43,240
Speaker 1: Madden summer All would never call him the home's name

1752
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: at any point in time in history, right, So yeah,

1753
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 1: that's amazing that he's doing both at this I gotta

1754
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:52,559
Speaker 1: what I want to know is was he going live

1755
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: back and forth between the two or did they edit

1756
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:57,639
Speaker 1: those two parts together where he just did the summer

1757
01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 1: All part first over here and then the Madden hard

1758
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 1: over here. And I've seen him. He can switch it

1759
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: on and off. He does one right back to the other.

1760
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 1: He does he does John Madden to Brett Farr of

1761
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: his what you know, he does back and forth all

1762
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: the time. So he's really talented. We've had him on

1763
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:13,400
Speaker 1: the show. But that is great because you get a

1764
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: chance to remember when you watch him do it, and

1765
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 1: he's really he's so good. You remember what it was

1766
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: like to listen to Pat summer All because Pat summer

1767
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:25,880
Speaker 1: All was never hitting a home run with the call, right,

1768
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:29,320
Speaker 1: it was like touchdown Cowboys. Yeah, and he was the

1769
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 1: most exciting touchdown ever, right. And he will go down

1770
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:38,240
Speaker 1: in history as the ultimate play by play announcer who

1771
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:42,280
Speaker 1: was a minimalist because he took advantage of the television

1772
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:46,679
Speaker 1: viewing audience. He knew that they could see what was happening.

1773
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 1: All he did was identify players. And I mean he

1774
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:54,640
Speaker 1: needed three words to call a touchdown play Okay, it

1775
01:30:54,680 --> 01:31:00,600
Speaker 1: would be Aman Irvin touchdown. That was all. That was

1776
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 1: the whole call. Start to finish, and he did that

1777
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 1: all the time, but he didn't need to get descriptive

1778
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 1: because you know, the video was providing everything. Never get radio,

1779
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He was always television and

1780
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 1: he just relied on the pictures to tell the story.

1781
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:18,160
Speaker 1: He just identified that. Like you said, he says, yeah,

1782
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 1: that's who's got the ball, and this is who he's

1783
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:23,559
Speaker 1: thrown it to, and that's the result, period, end of story.

1784
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:25,200
Speaker 1: And that was about as many and then he would

1785
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 1: just sit back and let Madden do the rest. Right

1786
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 1: going through this, A little thing about that was so

1787
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 1: Caliendo doing a really nice job. And that's part of

1788
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 1: what may It's not just the sound of the voices,

1789
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:38,680
Speaker 1: it's also the techniques they used when they did their broadcast.

1790
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 1: And he's got it down. That was that was pretty funny.

1791
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:43,920
Speaker 1: Yet I like that he brought up the wolf because

1792
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 1: I've asked myself the same question, what the heck does

1793
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 1: the wolf have to do with the kingdoms? A wolf

1794
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:51,839
Speaker 1: for raccoon? I think it's a wolf. Is it a wolf? Yeah? Yeah,

1795
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,600
Speaker 1: casey wolf, that's it. I'm not trying to be disrespectful.

1796
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if they run mascot I just could

1797
01:31:57,360 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 1: tell me. Do they run rampant out there in that

1798
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 1: area of the country. I mean, there isn't a no.

1799
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,000
Speaker 1: If they're in a zoo. That's the only wolf fuel

1800
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:06,799
Speaker 1: season a wolf to be found in Kansas, Missouri, Missouri,

1801
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:12,639
Speaker 1: I guess is where they're at. But yeah, no, somebody's

1802
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: got to help me with that. I got up out there.

1803
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: I see a coyote. Yeah, well, yeah, well maybe they

1804
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 1: should have done that. They're thick out there, but they

1805
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:22,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't say, you know, wiley coyote or something, you know whatever, Yeah,

1806
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:27,400
Speaker 1: we're coyote, depending on what your preference is. Now an there, Yeah,

1807
01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:29,720
Speaker 1: we had to see that. That was worth listening to

1808
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 1: again for sure. Frank Aliando super talented, so glad he

1809

1838
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,439
Speaker 1: under Kevin Stefanski, Cleveland's new head coach, but it is

1839
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 1: not yet clear whether Stefanski will be the one calling

1840
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:23,680
Speaker 1: the plays when the Sabers returning to action tonight when

1841
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:25,720
Speaker 1: they host the Canadiens at the Key Bank Center at

1842
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 1: seven pm. They'll be their first game since goalie Lianas

1843
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:31,400
Speaker 1: Hallmark was injured Tuesday. He's expected to miss three to

1844
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:34,880
Speaker 1: four weeks. Carter Hutton will start in goal tonight for

1845
01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:37,800
Speaker 1: the Sabers. And that is your sports update here from

1846
01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive as we begin the third hour of

1847
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 1: the program. And we do that with a guest on

1848
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 1: the line by the name of Jeff rein Bold, NFL

1849
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 1: analyst for Sky Sports, also special teams coordinator for the

1850
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:53,880
Speaker 1: Hamilton Tiger Cats. And I think a long time ago

1851
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:56,599
Speaker 1: this guy was coaching up a guy by the name

1852
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: of Cole Beasley. Jeff, how are you doing? Thanks for

1853
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 1: joining us here. I'm doing really good. You know. Being

1854
01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 1: here is one of the coolest things in the year

1855
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:06,320
Speaker 1: for US football people, because you get a chance. It's

1856
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:08,719
Speaker 1: a little bit like a class reunion for football guys.

1857
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:12,320
Speaker 1: And I'm actually sitting at the hotel with two of

1858
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 1: my dearest friends in the whole world, Rob Ryan, his

1859
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:17,400
Speaker 1: wife Christa, and you know, once upon a time they

1860
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:19,559
Speaker 1: have three children. I taught the three kids to serve

1861
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:22,200
Speaker 1: in exchange for Robbie teaching me about the forty six.

1862
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 1: That perfect. That's great. Yeah, And then you're right, it is.

1863
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 1: It's we've been talking about it all in. It's more

1864
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 1: about the experience. It's a week long festival where the

1865
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 1: eyes of the entire sports world, and certainly the football world,

1866
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:36,160
Speaker 1: are focused on the Super Bowl city. What let me

1867
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:37,839
Speaker 1: just ask you this before we get to the matchup

1868
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 1: between the Niners and the Chiefs. What are some of

1869
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:42,080
Speaker 1: the cool stuff that you're doing down there this week?

1870
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 1: He got any events planned that you're gonna do or

1871
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 1: he's just laying low? Well, you know, task, I've never

1872
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:51,640
Speaker 1: been adverse to having funds. The only thing I'm not

1873
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: doing a lot of is sleeping. So but we did

1874
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 1: something really cool today. You might check it out on

1875
01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:02,160
Speaker 1: sky Sports, NFL dot com. I got Jeff Garcia to

1876
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 1: take us through the reads and the progressions of both

1877
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks. You know how you what you think

1878
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:11,960
Speaker 1: as a bootleg guy for Garoppolo and a drop back

1879
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:15,679
Speaker 1: guy for Patrick Mahomes. And then Sebastian Volmer, two time

1880
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion left tackle for the Patriots, talked about

1881
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: how he's how those fisher in those offensive tackles are

1882
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with a speed to power rush,

1883
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:28,639
Speaker 1: and we actually broke it down. It's kind of fun

1884
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 1: to ask because you know how crazy radio Row is, right,

1885
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 1: So I just went over in the corner and we're

1886
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: shooting it. We're like talking ball and getting all excited

1887
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 1: and banging into each other. Marcus Cood, who was with

1888
01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:41,960
Speaker 1: the Giants for four years, he's talking about how they're

1889
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 1: gonna have to fight those reach blocks against that zone

1890
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,599
Speaker 1: run scheme that San Francisco haske. So it's fun, man,

1891
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:50,799
Speaker 1: It's just all good. So looking at the game here, Jeff,

1892
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:53,719
Speaker 1: I mean, we were talking yesterday Steve and I about,

1893
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, what teams strength we anticipate will carry the

1894
01:36:57,800 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 1: day in the game. And you know, we went through

1895
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:02,240
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers run game. We went about the

1896
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,799
Speaker 1: speed on offense that the Chiefs can put on the field,

1897
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes being a giant X factor, and then you know

1898
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 1: the Niners defensive line. Those are the four that stood

1899
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:14,160
Speaker 1: out to us. I think there's a level of concern

1900
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:16,800
Speaker 1: though on the forty nine ers part, that if the

1901
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:19,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs somehow some way can slow down that run game,

1902
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:25,240
Speaker 1: can Jimmy g carry them maybe through certain portions of

1903
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 1: the game on his own, especially after a game where

1904
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:32,440
Speaker 1: he threw what eight, ten, twelve times? Can he do that? Well?

1905
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:34,600
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, that's a great take, and

1906
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 1: that's a big question that certainly are the football guy

1907
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: that I would have and I know you guys have,

1908
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:44,720
Speaker 1: because you know the reality is that the Niners, it's

1909
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 1: just like it's just like Herman Edwards said, you play

1910
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 1: to win the game. And you know, Buffalo fans have

1911
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:54,719
Speaker 1: seen that in what John's done with that with that team,

1912
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 1: you're trying to win football game. Whatever you have to

1913
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:02,680
Speaker 1: do to win football games. And for Shanahan, he recognizes

1914
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:05,400
Speaker 1: that their run game is the key thing. And let's

1915
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 1: be honest, Garoppolo is not there yet as a pure

1916
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:13,040
Speaker 1: drop backthrower, and he is much better when they use

1917
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 1: play action, And why would you ever put the game

1918
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 1: at risk when you are running the ball as well

1919
01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: as they've run the ball. And I think that's gonna

1920
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,760
Speaker 1: be the way they're gonna proach this in Kansas City,

1921
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 1: and Steve Spagnolo and Chris Jones and Honey Badger and

1922
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:31,599
Speaker 1: all those guys, they're gonna have to prove to San

1923
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 1: Francisco that they can stop the run. Yeah, And I

1924
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 1: think that's exactly what I think is gonna happen. I

1925
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:39,759
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs are gonna try and force the Niners

1926
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: to beat him left handed. But I've said this too,

1927
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:44,519
Speaker 1: I think the Niners are really a complete football team.

1928
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 1: You can say what you want about the question marks

1929
01:38:46,479 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 1: around Jimmy Garoppolo, but they have now. They're the number

1930
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 1: one seed for a reason. They find ways to win games,

1931
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:53,880
Speaker 1: and they can do it a number of different ways,

1932
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:57,920
Speaker 1: in fact, maybe more ways than the Chiefs can. Well,

1933
01:38:57,960 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 1: I agree with your task, and you know what, you

1934
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 1: You don't back into the number one seed. You earn

1935
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 1: the number one seed, and you earn it by being

1936
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 1: a good football team that finds ways to win games,

1937
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:12,519
Speaker 1: whether it's tackling a ball carrier four inches shy of

1938
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:14,800
Speaker 1: the goal line like they did against Seattle at the

1939
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 1: end of the game or end of the year, or

1940
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:20,320
Speaker 1: throwing it like like, here's the thing. Look at the

1941
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore tape and you see enough evidence that Jimmy G's

1942
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 1: good enough to win it if he has to make

1943
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:30,680
Speaker 1: some throws to win it. So if you're looking on

1944
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:34,160
Speaker 1: the other side of the equation, here does I mean

1945
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. Obviously we know what he can do. He

1946
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 1: can take over a game. We've seen them a raise

1947
01:39:38,400 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: twenty four point deficits in less than a half. But

1948
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 1: how does he balance doing enough for that offense while

1949
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:52,200
Speaker 1: not playing hero ball and making some silly decisions. Well,

1950
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be interesting to see which are

1951
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:56,720
Speaker 1: these two quarterbacks because when you look at both of them, Yeah,

1952
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 1: Jimmy G's been here, right, but he was here as

1953
01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:02,080
Speaker 1: a backup. And Steve will tell you that it's a

1954
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:06,120
Speaker 1: whole different ballgame when you're a backup. Now you say

1955
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 1: you're going to prepare as well, it's different deal, right,

1956
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden you're out there and the

1957
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:14,559
Speaker 1: entire world is watching you play, not stand on the

1958
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:17,960
Speaker 1: sideline watching you play. So which of these two young

1959
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:22,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks handles this week better, I think will be you

1960
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 1: know will that'll be evidenced on Sunday with their play.

1961
01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 1: Now here's where I give Mahomes a little bit of

1962
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:34,840
Speaker 1: an edge. Patrick Mahomes grew up with an elite baseball

1963
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:39,000
Speaker 1: pitcher father, so he's seen big games. He's watched his

1964
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 1: dad pitch in the World Series. He's seen all of

1965
01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:43,679
Speaker 1: that stuff as a young kid coming up. And it's

1966
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:46,880
Speaker 1: just like Steve's son Luke, who plays for US up

1967
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:50,679
Speaker 1: in Canada. He's not phased by the big games. He shooting.

1968
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 1: He tell his dad's hand after the Super Bowl walking

1969
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:55,400
Speaker 1: out the tunnel, So I mean it's not a big

1970
01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 1: deal to those kinds of kids. Yeah, And it's an

1971
01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,639
Speaker 1: interesting point. I got to ask you this too, because

1972
01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 1: when he into these games, they're both teams are playing

1973
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:08,400
Speaker 1: so well. It really comes down to numbers. Can then

1974
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:11,200
Speaker 1: for me, the Niners defense is so good upfront, can

1975
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:14,000
Speaker 1: they get pressure? And the fewer guys it takes to

1976
01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:17,040
Speaker 1: pressure Mahomes and keep him in the pocket or force

1977
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 1: him to do whatever he's doing, the more guys that

1978
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:21,519
Speaker 1: can drop back into coverage. And we saw that in

1979
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Well in the Super Bowl again the

1980
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks against the Denver Broncos. The Seahawks pressured Peyton

1981
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 1: Manning so well with just four guys, there were no

1982
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 1: windows to throw the football into and if the ball

1983
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:36,240
Speaker 1: was coming out on time, it was gonna get batted

1984
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:39,280
Speaker 1: down or defended. That kind has one falls for me.

1985
01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you, there's no question about it. And again,

1986
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:45,640
Speaker 1: when you can get pressure with four and when you

1987
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 1: see again, it's how you build your football team right.

1988
01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:51,680
Speaker 1: And this is this is something that mystifies me. How

1989
01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:55,720
Speaker 1: general managers and teams don't get it and why have

1990
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 1: the Bills gotten better because they got one vision one.

1991
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 1: They're building it in one way. Shanahan talked this week

1992
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 1: about like minded people in the in the same building. Right.

1993
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 1: They're building this in the image of John Lynch's Tampa

1994
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:12,880
Speaker 1: Bay teams when he played, what were they They were

1995
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:16,120
Speaker 1: a two zone team that played with rush, you with

1996
01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:19,880
Speaker 1: four guys called Pepper Sap, you know, Simeon Rise, those

1997
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:22,280
Speaker 1: guys so that everybody else could have eyes on the

1998
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 1: quarterback and drive on the football they play. San Francisco's

1999
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 1: a three D team, but it's the same concept. They

2000
01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:30,479
Speaker 1: keep the ball in front of them, they drive down

2001
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:34,880
Speaker 1: on the ball and they make you work. And see this, Steve,

2002
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 1: this is one that fascinates me. You look at the route.

2003
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 1: The favorite route for Kansas City is what we call Divide,

2004
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,599
Speaker 1: where they you know, it's four verticals basically, but they

2005
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 1: run one across the safety space and he really you

2006
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 1: saw it against Tennessee Hill scored on it. The challenge

2007
01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:53,640
Speaker 1: with that route is it takes time to throw and

2008
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:57,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City is historically a five man protection team. They

2009
01:42:57,920 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 1: don't chip much. Why would you chip because you can

2010
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,720
Speaker 1: have to take Kelsey out of the route, right They

2011
01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:09,320
Speaker 1: their backs don't chip much. So can they sustain the

2012
01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 1: protection long enough for those vertical routes against Cover three

2013
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:16,599
Speaker 1: to develop? We'll see. So as we know you know

2014
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 1: you being an NFL analyst for Sky Sports, you're kind

2015
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:20,759
Speaker 1: of a big deal on the other side of the pond.

2016
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:25,360
Speaker 1: And we actually we actually have some some NFL UK

2017
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:28,599
Speaker 1: backers that were firing off questions to us to ask

2018
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:31,439
Speaker 1: of you. So if you're ready, I'm gonna give you

2019
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 1: one here. Why task is gonna be on a podcast

2020
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: back there with NFL their UK bills Bills UK or

2021
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:46,880
Speaker 1: UK Bills. It's basically Bills mafia R I'm doing it today,

2022
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: yeah right now, yeah yeah, But this one so this question, so,

2023
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:54,519
Speaker 1: this question here comes from Bill's backers UK and they're

2024
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 1: asking about, you know, the kid that was on the

2025
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:58,960
Speaker 1: practice squad here last year, Christian Wade. They say, do

2026
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 1: you think he makes it to the fifty three man

2027
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 1: roster next season and how can he progress this offseason? Well,

2028
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting question because I think there's

2029
01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 1: some pluses and there's some minuses. The one of the

2030
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:16,960
Speaker 1: minuses his Christians age. He's twenty eight years old. You know,

2031
01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:20,160
Speaker 1: will the Bills take the guy as a backup running

2032
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:23,840
Speaker 1: back as twenty eight years old? He has we saw

2033
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 1: him in preseason last year. He has ability to make

2034
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:29,400
Speaker 1: big plays. But there's a lot more than just carrying

2035
01:44:29,439 --> 01:44:32,160
Speaker 1: the ball to being a running back. Now when you

2036
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:34,599
Speaker 1: look at the Bills, and again, I think the Bills

2037
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:36,280
Speaker 1: are really on the rise. I said they would make

2038
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:38,519
Speaker 1: the playoffs before the season started last year because I

2039
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 1: really believed that they've got a great young back, right.

2040
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:45,599
Speaker 1: But he's a little bit the same kind of back

2041
01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:48,240
Speaker 1: that Christian Wade is. So do you want another one

2042
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:51,679
Speaker 1: of those guys if they if they phase out Frank

2043
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 1: Gore or Frank Gore retires or whatever happens, they need

2044
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:57,320
Speaker 1: a guy that can bleed yardage for him. So will

2045
01:44:57,360 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 1: he make the forty three man roster or fifty three

2046
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:01,320
Speaker 1: man roster. I don't know. He's gonna have to be

2047
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:04,360
Speaker 1: a great special teams players, as Steve will tell you.

2048
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 1: That's that's the way a marginal guys opportunity to get

2049
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 1: on the roster is through special teams. Right, he's gonna

2050
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:12,920
Speaker 1: if he's gonna contribute, that's where it will be first.

2051
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:15,439
Speaker 1: I got also another question as well, and it's about

2052
01:45:15,439 --> 01:45:17,479
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball in the office now, Brian Dave Ball.

2053
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:20,120
Speaker 1: You know we spoke to Sean McDermott earlier in the show.

2054
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:22,800
Speaker 1: Day Ball was a finalist for the head coaching job

2055
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:26,639
Speaker 1: at the Cleveland But now he's gonna remain the offensive

2056
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. What do you see them

2057
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 1: doing maybe that's innovative or something extra that they can

2058
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:34,920
Speaker 1: do more creative with their offense to take another step forward.

2059
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 1: If all the players stay at the same level that

2060
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:41,280
Speaker 1: they're at this year, well, I don't to be honest

2061
01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 1: with you, Steve I don't see that happening. This is

2062
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 1: what I see for the Bills. Now. Again, I'm not

2063
01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:47,760
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. I'm not sitting in there personalities. I'm not

2064
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 1: doing anything. I'm just a football guy watching a football team.

2065
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:54,280
Speaker 1: I have been very impressed with how they've grown, right,

2066
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I really think that they are on the

2067
01:45:56,240 --> 01:46:00,240
Speaker 1: right track now. I think that these are the Keiths

2068
01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:04,200
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo offense. Josh Allen has to continue on

2069
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:07,040
Speaker 1: the growth pattern that he's on. We saw a tremendous

2070
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:10,639
Speaker 1: development curve for him over the course of this season,

2071
01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:13,439
Speaker 1: but at the end of the year in the Houston game,

2072
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 1: you still saw a little regression. For example, I go

2073
01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: back to the when he's trying to get the ball

2074
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:19,240
Speaker 1: in the ends on at the end of the game,

2075
01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:22,040
Speaker 1: the blind pitch that he did, which was just like

2076
01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:25,600
Speaker 1: where did that come from? Right, So it's still a

2077
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:28,280
Speaker 1: little big for him. He's growing, you know, they're all growing.

2078
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:31,080
Speaker 1: He's a young guy. You got Beasley in the slot,

2079
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:36,880
Speaker 1: you got Brown outside. I think they need another threat outside.

2080
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:39,920
Speaker 1: They've got some good young tight ends that are like

2081
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line that right tackles got to come off

2082
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:47,000
Speaker 1: that surgery. Well, but I think they're trending very well.

2083
01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 1: They've got a great young running back. I think they're

2084
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:54,280
Speaker 1: trending well. It's to continue to build around Josh Allen

2085
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:57,799
Speaker 1: and his skill set. I thought Brian dable about midway

2086
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 1: through the year, and I listened to everything you guys do,

2087
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 1: all right. I listened to your show every day, and

2088
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:07,120
Speaker 1: it was interesting because as the callers started, you know,

2089
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:09,240
Speaker 1: there was some criticism of Brian. I think got to

2090
01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:11,840
Speaker 1: take those rains off of him. They gotta, you know,

2091
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:15,800
Speaker 1: And eventually he gained their trust enough that they did

2092
01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:17,479
Speaker 1: start to let him run a little bit more. He's

2093
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:20,920
Speaker 1: got to protect the ball better. But I think the

2094
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:24,880
Speaker 1: Bills really really are trending in the right direction on offense.

2095
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:27,559
Speaker 1: Last one, and I've got for you, Jeff, because why

2096
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 1: we would be remiss if we didn't address it. But

2097
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:32,600
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, your time with him at SMU, you know,

2098
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 1: just being around him, it is very apparent to me

2099
01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: anyway that his football IQ is like off the charts.

2100
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 1: I know he played quarterback in high school, and you

2101
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 1: know he was a coach's son and all of that.

2102
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:48,799
Speaker 1: What what sense? How quickly did you grasp a feeling

2103
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:52,240
Speaker 1: that you know, Cole was on the high end of

2104
01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 1: football IQ even in college, well from the time he

2105
01:47:56,880 --> 01:47:58,920
Speaker 1: was a freshman, because he started his first game as

2106
01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 1: a freshman at SMU. We were running the run and

2107
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:04,120
Speaker 1: shoot Steve and you know from your time in the

2108
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:07,000
Speaker 1: red gun that and with you know K gun. I

2109
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:09,920
Speaker 1: guess you guys called it. But all those adjusted routes

2110
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:11,840
Speaker 1: based on coverage. You gotta not only run your route,

2111
01:48:11,880 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 1: but you gotta know what the coverage is, how you

2112
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:15,720
Speaker 1: what your blitz break is. All of that stuff. That's

2113
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:19,120
Speaker 1: a lot of mental pressure on a young kid. For

2114
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 1: him to come to SMU as a quarterback and then

2115
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: become a receiver and started your very first college game,

2116
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,640
Speaker 1: that's an incredible accomplish. But when I knew he was

2117
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:29,479
Speaker 1: going to be a great player, or when I sensed

2118
01:48:29,479 --> 01:48:31,519
Speaker 1: he was going to be a great player, was in

2119
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 1: his freshman year. We're playing Tulsa and we're not very good,

2120
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 1: and we have a chance to beat Tulsa. They dial

2121
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 1: up a blitz. The quarterback sees it and throws. He

2122
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 1: had b FBS on a corner route actually, and because

2123
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:49,519
Speaker 1: dB was laying so far inside and put it right

2124
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 1: on right where he had to throw it and Cole

2125
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:56,719
Speaker 1: dropped it. And that was I think a like want

2126
01:48:56,720 --> 01:49:00,080
Speaker 1: that watershed moment in his career because instead of of

2127
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, like shying away from it and you know,

2128
01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:06,040
Speaker 1: being let that affect him too much. The next week

2129
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 1: he went out and I think it was eleven passes

2130
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifteen yards of song. He is

2131
01:49:12,080 --> 01:49:16,320
Speaker 1: a really, really great competitor. When the Bills called me

2132
01:49:16,360 --> 01:49:20,000
Speaker 1: and again, I this is really I'm I want the

2133
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 1: fans to understand how this works. Like I hadn't coach

2134
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 1: Cole since two thousand and twelves and I get a

2135
01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 1: call from the Buffalo personnel office and they want to

2136
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:32,839
Speaker 1: talk about colebas And I'm in my office in Hamiltons

2137
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:37,479
Speaker 1: and they wanted in depth information and they called me

2138
01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:41,599
Speaker 1: more than once. And that made me recognize that the

2139
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:45,280
Speaker 1: Bills really are doing great a great job. It's not

2140
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 1: collecting football cards, you know, as a lot more to

2141
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:51,160
Speaker 1: it than that. And they looked really hard at his character,

2142
01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:54,759
Speaker 1: at his work ethic. They asked me very pointedly about

2143
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:57,280
Speaker 1: his situation as a rookie in Dallas where he left

2144
01:49:57,280 --> 01:49:59,760
Speaker 1: training camp and they had to, you know, convince him

2145
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:02,639
Speaker 1: to come back to training camp, and you know again,

2146
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:07,559
Speaker 1: if it was one play, one pass, you know, on

2147
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:09,800
Speaker 1: the goal line, and you were saying you needed a

2148
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:12,120
Speaker 1: guy to beat somebody one on one and score touch,

2149
01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:15,920
Speaker 1: I throw it to him every time, all right, Jeff, listen,

2150
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:18,600
Speaker 1: thanks for that insight, Thanks for all your expertise on

2151
01:50:19,160 --> 01:50:21,600
Speaker 1: the upcoming Super Bowl. We appreciate the time. Enjoy the

2152
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:23,880
Speaker 1: rest of your week down there. Man. Thanks Jeff, I

2153
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 1: will Steve, thank you very much. You betman, tell tell

2154
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:30,719
Speaker 1: it little number seventeen. He'd better signed back. Yeah, I'll

2155
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 1: tell him hi away. You listen to you more than

2156
01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:37,519
Speaker 1: listen to me, though, I gotta tell you, all right.

2157
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:40,799
Speaker 1: That's Jeff. That's Jeff Ryan Bold, NFL analyst for Sky Sports,

2158
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:43,960
Speaker 1: also the special teams coordinator for the Hamilton Tiger Cats.

2159
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 1: He's talking about Steve sun Luke, who wears jersey number

2160
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:48,640
Speaker 1: seventeen up there for the Tie Cats, telling him you

2161
01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:51,240
Speaker 1: better get him resigned. We need him back. This contracts up.

2162
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:53,040
Speaker 1: He's a he's well, he's not a free agent yet,

2163
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:55,600
Speaker 1: but he will be. Yeah. Yeah, so we'll see. But

2164
01:50:56,040 --> 01:50:58,240
Speaker 1: that's an interesting conversation. We I'm glad I asked him

2165
01:50:58,240 --> 01:51:00,559
Speaker 1: about Beasley because that was That was pretty insightful. And

2166
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 1: how about you want to talk about how thorough the

2167
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 1: Bills Pro Personnel department is. You know, when it comes

2168
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:11,840
Speaker 1: time last year to research Cole Beasley, they're talking to

2169
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:16,520
Speaker 1: his position coach from two thousand and twelve in college,

2170
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:20,920
Speaker 1: six years before, six years prior, to see if they're

2171
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, the guy's got the right makeup for their roster.

2172
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean that's not just beating the bushes. I mean

2173
01:51:26,840 --> 01:51:29,600
Speaker 1: that's digging halfway to China to get the answers that

2174
01:51:29,680 --> 01:51:31,799
Speaker 1: you want to feel good about the guy you're signing.

2175
01:51:32,120 --> 01:51:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a small snippet of the kind

2176
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:40,320
Speaker 1: of legwork and diligence that the Bills Pro Personnel Department does.

2177
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the College Personnel department operates much the

2178
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:46,240
Speaker 1: same way. And that's why the Bills over these past

2179
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,960
Speaker 1: two three years have had a lot more hits than

2180
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:52,680
Speaker 1: missus in terms of constructing this roster. What did you

2181
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:55,759
Speaker 1: think about what he had to say about this matchup? Though?

2182
01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 1: I was pretty I was pretty intrigued to hear him

2183
01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:02,320
Speaker 1: with respect to Garoppolo and whether or not he can

2184
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:05,280
Speaker 1: carry got offense for stretches in this game. I mean,

2185
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 1: if they neutralize that run game is not sold. Yeah,

2186
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,479
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not sold on it. Yeah, And that's

2187
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:13,840
Speaker 1: it's interesting to see that because quite frankly, the Niners

2188
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:16,840
Speaker 1: haven't had to do that very much. And certainly, but

2189
01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:18,880
Speaker 1: he also said, and I said before, and he agrees

2190
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:21,120
Speaker 1: with it. That's why you don't there's certain things they

2191
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:24,920
Speaker 1: haven't proven to the extent you're convinced. But he said

2192
01:52:24,960 --> 01:52:27,639
Speaker 1: it the best. You don't back into the number one seed.

2193
01:52:28,280 --> 01:52:30,360
Speaker 1: This team can treats you a ton of ways, and

2194
01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:33,040
Speaker 1: they're really good at the stuff. They're really good at,

2195
01:52:33,680 --> 01:52:36,760
Speaker 1: and you'd better be loaded up for him that The

2196
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:39,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs I think have more to prove in this game

2197
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 1: than the Niners do as before as being a complete

2198
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:43,880
Speaker 1: team to One of the reasons the Chiefs are in

2199
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:45,640
Speaker 1: this game is because they've begun to do that with

2200
01:52:45,680 --> 01:52:49,720
Speaker 1: their defense, they've gotten better. And if that defense is

2201
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:53,280
Speaker 1: good enough to force the Niners to do something they

2202
01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 1: haven't proven they can do, I think that's the big

2203
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:56,800
Speaker 1: question mark. Can the Niners beat him with the throw?

2204
01:52:57,080 --> 01:52:58,920
Speaker 1: And even as the Chiefs defense good enough to make

2205
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:01,640
Speaker 1: him do it. Two questions about the same facet of

2206
01:53:01,680 --> 01:53:02,960
Speaker 1: the game on the same side of the ball. That

2207
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:04,439
Speaker 1: needs to be answered. We're gonna see it. I don't

2208
01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:06,680
Speaker 1: know if they're going to be able to effectively neutralize

2209
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:10,120
Speaker 1: that Niners running game. I was watching some film breakdowns

2210
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:13,280
Speaker 1: of that. It was impressive, Like just the way the

2211
01:53:13,439 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 1: receivers help in the blocking scheme, like they crashed down

2212
01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 1: on the end and then they'll pull the tackle in

2213
01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:22,360
Speaker 1: the guard and so now you've got a guard and

2214
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:25,120
Speaker 1: a tackle on a dB outside. I mean that's not

2215
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:29,160
Speaker 1: even fair. And so the window, I mean the alley

2216
01:53:29,280 --> 01:53:31,759
Speaker 1: is gigantic for the running back to get through because

2217
01:53:31,960 --> 01:53:34,519
Speaker 1: you've got a lineman in golfing a defensive back who

2218
01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have a prayer. I mean, he's getting carried out

2219
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:39,679
Speaker 1: of bounds on that zone. You know those stretch plays

2220
01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:42,479
Speaker 1: they run all the time. It's just it's, yeah, it's

2221
01:53:42,680 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 1: very well executed is and it's really well coached up

2222
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:47,240
Speaker 1: and it's and it's versatile too. So it's it's gonna

2223
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:48,800
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. It's gonna be a great game.

2224
01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:50,960
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a really quality super Bowl.

2225
01:53:51,640 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't think this game is gonna be I think

2226
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:57,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a close game. I can't see the

2227
01:53:57,479 --> 01:53:59,760
Speaker 1: defense of the Niners being taken advantage of to the

2228
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:03,240
Speaker 1: point where Kansas City runs off and hides. And I

2229
01:54:03,320 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 1: can't see that a team that gets out into a

2230
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:08,320
Speaker 1: lead on Kansas City isn't gonna get a big, a

2231
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:10,960
Speaker 1: big home run swing from a team that's really talented,

2232
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:13,120
Speaker 1: really fast, and really versatile in their throwing game with

2233
01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:16,320
Speaker 1: a guy who can extend. Yeah, so we'll see. I

2234
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:18,240
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a really close game. Whether it's

2235
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:20,720
Speaker 1: high scoring or not, I don't know. I kind of

2236
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 1: think it will be. I told you my over under

2237
01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:25,880
Speaker 1: seventy five, right, you know that's gonna be something. There's

2238
01:54:26,280 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna be ay, it's gonna be a barn burner if

2239
01:54:28,080 --> 01:54:30,479
Speaker 1: that happens. Six thousand points scored in this game, I

2240
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:33,920
Speaker 1: think eight oh three, five fifty one, eight eight five

2241
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 1: fifty two, five fifty. As we get back to the

2242
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:38,800
Speaker 1: topic that kicked the show off with our Twitter poll,

2243
01:54:39,160 --> 01:54:41,120
Speaker 1: if it were the Bills in the Super Bowl, how

2244
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:44,080
Speaker 1: far would you go with your checkbook or your wallet?

2245
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:48,520
Speaker 1: And we've had some interesting responses on the Twitter I mean,

2246
01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:51,200
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. It's been mostly people choosing to

2247
01:54:51,240 --> 01:54:53,400
Speaker 1: stay at home. But we're also asking for Super Bowl

2248
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:55,640
Speaker 1: memories as well, and for more of those, we go

2249
01:54:55,680 --> 01:54:58,320
Speaker 1: back to the phones. We go to Richard Snyder, who

2250
01:54:58,360 --> 01:55:04,440
Speaker 1: apparently attended Super r Bowl One. Is that right? Rich? Rich?

2251
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:09,440
Speaker 1: Are you there? Oh? No, Rich? All right, let me

2252
01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:13,040
Speaker 1: try to put him on the hold. Yeah, that's I

2253
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:14,480
Speaker 1: have it. You know who else I said this to you?

2254
01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:19,040
Speaker 1: In Tampa Bay? There? There he is? Are you guys

2255
01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:21,960
Speaker 1: doing I went to Tampa Bay Super Bowl? Okay, okay,

2256
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:25,040
Speaker 1: all right? The bills for Super Bowl? We got the

2257
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:28,240
Speaker 1: round trip air for one hundred and fifty dollars. Holy cow,

2258
01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:32,680
Speaker 1: that's a good fair. How early did you book that? Well,

2259
01:55:32,720 --> 01:55:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm about a month in advanced. There's there's the difference

2260
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 1: because back then it was only a week between the

2261
01:55:39,360 --> 01:55:41,400
Speaker 1: Championship game and the Super Bowl. I was like, how

2262
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:43,680
Speaker 1: did he score that kind of round trip air fair?

2263
01:55:43,880 --> 01:55:46,640
Speaker 1: We had eight guys this season tickets you know that

2264
01:55:46,800 --> 01:55:49,240
Speaker 1: the lottery. We were hoping four of us wanted to

2265
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:52,680
Speaker 1: vote that we get four tickets. Well, we never dead. Well,

2266
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:56,160
Speaker 1: we bought four tickets from Critic for twelve hundred and

2267
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:59,720
Speaker 1: then we got a uh efficiency room on the beach

2268
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:03,760
Speaker 1: because it was off season for a hundred so five total.

2269
01:56:03,840 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 1: We got there and just say to pay for food

2270
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:09,200
Speaker 1: and drinks. Wow, that's good stuff. That's good stuff that

2271
01:56:09,400 --> 01:56:13,160
Speaker 1: you can't believe that the places now unbelievable. That whole

2272
01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:15,080
Speaker 1: trip costs you less than the face value of one

2273
01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 1: ticket this super Bowl. Congratulations, Yeah, you're right that good

2274
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:21,600
Speaker 1: jobs for the call. We'll take one more here and

2275
01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:24,440
Speaker 1: we'll go to Izzy in North Carolina. He also went

2276
01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:26,320
Speaker 1: to that Tampa super Bowl. What do you have for us,

2277
01:56:26,360 --> 01:56:32,440
Speaker 1: is he? Yeah? I don't believe it because we got

2278
01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:38,920
Speaker 1: the same thing. It was one hundred and fifty. We

2279
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:41,600
Speaker 1: went through a tunnel. Oh no, we lost him, but

2280
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:43,760
Speaker 1: he was laughing because I guess he got the same

2281
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 1: deal that that our previous caller got. Rich said, one

2282
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:50,240
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty round trip, and Izzy apparently got the

2283
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 1: same airfare. That's if you if you're willing to go

2284
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:54,120
Speaker 1: out on a limb to say, my team's going and

2285
01:56:54,160 --> 01:56:55,840
Speaker 1: it's six weeks away and we didn't even know if

2286
01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:58,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna win the first rob card round or get it.

2287
01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:01,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna go. But the Bills had the number one

2288
01:57:02,040 --> 01:57:06,000
Speaker 1: seed pretty early, and you had the so you knew

2289
01:57:06,040 --> 01:57:07,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the buy and you knew you're gonna

2290
01:57:07,760 --> 01:57:10,640
Speaker 1: have home games, and at that point, you know, this

2291
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:14,120
Speaker 1: home field here was pretty good, nothing to be laughed at.

2292
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:18,160
Speaker 1: So it was one hundred fifty bucks. It's kind of

2293
01:57:18,200 --> 01:57:20,120
Speaker 1: worth the gamble there, I would think, you know, because

2294
01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:22,360
Speaker 1: we gave the nineteen. Even if you eat the ticket,

2295
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:26,640
Speaker 1: you're down one hundred fifty bucks. So and they cashed

2296
01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:29,480
Speaker 1: in big time, five hundred dollars for the whole Well,

2297
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever, food and drink the whole week you're

2298
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 1: down there. I guess maybe you're more food, more drink.

2299
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:39,120
Speaker 1: One hundred fifty dollars air fair. You know, that's amazing,

2300
01:57:39,120 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 1: it's good. It just shows you how much the prices

2301
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:46,560
Speaker 1: have spiked. My god, that is just mind blowing. All Right,

2302
01:57:46,600 --> 01:57:48,680
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break, but we come back. Maybe

2303
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:51,720
Speaker 1: a little NFL true false for Steve and I will

2304
01:57:52,080 --> 01:57:56,640
Speaker 1: delve into that because is it time for Mexico City

2305
01:57:56,680 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 1: to get their own NFL team. We will explore that

2306
01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:03,640
Speaker 1: more in NFL True Falls On the other side. Here,

2307
01:58:03,640 --> 01:58:05,800
Speaker 1: it's One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive to See

2308
01:58:05,800 --> 01:58:20,840
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live

2309
01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:24,720
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Jaskar with you as we are closing

2310
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:27,200
Speaker 1: out the final thirty minutes of the program here on

2311
01:58:27,200 --> 01:58:30,600
Speaker 1: a Thursday, getting ready for Super Bowl fifty four. But

2312
01:58:31,840 --> 01:58:35,640
Speaker 1: it is time for that favorite part of the show, Steve,

2313
01:58:37,960 --> 01:58:41,520
Speaker 1: You're a favorite in mine. NFL True False presented by

2314
01:58:41,600 --> 01:58:45,760
Speaker 1: Yancy's Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese. And this first

2315
01:58:45,760 --> 01:58:50,000
Speaker 1: one is an interesting one, Steve, because I think I

2316
01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:53,520
Speaker 1: can't find I think we might get to this point soon,

2317
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:58,200
Speaker 1: maybe not this year, next year. I think this might

2318
01:58:58,240 --> 01:59:00,640
Speaker 1: be coming down the pike though, sooner than people think.

2319
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:04,920
Speaker 1: True false Number one, it's time to give Mexico City

2320
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:13,240
Speaker 1: their own NFL franchise True or false. Berdad O falso, well,

2321
01:59:13,280 --> 01:59:15,360
Speaker 1: I figured I had to go with this. That is

2322
01:59:16,120 --> 01:59:22,080
Speaker 1: false false. Okay, tell me why false? Um. Yeah, they're

2323
01:59:22,120 --> 01:59:26,080
Speaker 1: not going to expand anytime soon. And if they do expand,

2324
01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:32,680
Speaker 1: there are cities that are much more feasible logistically, all

2325
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 1: the other things, and I think they would get a

2326
01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:38,040
Speaker 1: lot of pushback from from NFL. And I think what

2327
01:59:38,160 --> 01:59:41,120
Speaker 1: we have to remember here too, because I will say

2328
01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:46,000
Speaker 1: false as well. What we have to remember here also

2329
01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:50,920
Speaker 1: is this whole push for the seventeenth regular season game

2330
01:59:52,360 --> 01:59:58,360
Speaker 1: is with the complete idea of globalizing the game, because

2331
01:59:58,360 --> 02:00:01,720
Speaker 1: that seventeenth game for every team neutral site is going

2332
02:00:01,800 --> 02:00:04,200
Speaker 1: to be a neutral site game, and they're going to

2333
02:00:04,280 --> 02:00:08,320
Speaker 1: be staging those games in places like Mexico City, London,

2334
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:14,280
Speaker 1: probably somewhere on the Pacific rim, in Asia and Japan. Yeah.

2335
02:00:14,400 --> 02:00:18,640
Speaker 1: So I don't think they're ready to give an international

2336
02:00:18,680 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 1: city a team. I think they're more apt to have

2337
02:00:22,080 --> 02:00:25,560
Speaker 1: teams play in those international cities more often, at least

2338
02:00:25,560 --> 02:00:31,080
Speaker 1: in the short term. I will say this, the football

2339
02:00:31,200 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 1: following in Mexico huge is vastly underrated. I get Mexican

2340
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:45,040
Speaker 1: Bills fans sending me videos on Twitter of them watching

2341
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:50,120
Speaker 1: games in bars in Mexico. They sent me. The last

2342
02:00:50,120 --> 02:00:53,920
Speaker 1: one I got sent was from the Mexico Mexico City

2343
02:00:53,960 --> 02:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Bills backers. They sent me video of them in a

2344
02:00:58,040 --> 02:01:01,680
Speaker 1: bar in Mexico City watching the Texans. It's on every television,

2345
02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:03,600
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Now. It's a playoff game, so maybe

2346
02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:06,320
Speaker 1: it's a little different, but they've got fifteen televisions in there.

2347
02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:10,160
Speaker 1: They've all got the Bills game on, no soccer nothing,

2348
02:01:10,840 --> 02:01:13,960
Speaker 1: they all got their jerseys on and they are doing

2349
02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:18,360
Speaker 1: the ay they're doing all of that now, I was impressed. Yeah,

2350
02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:21,160
Speaker 1: and uh, my wife and I were on vacation in

2351
02:01:21,240 --> 02:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Cancoon probably about five years ago. Okay, we're eating breakfast

2352
02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:29,320
Speaker 1: at the restaurant on site. It was like one of

2353
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:32,640
Speaker 1: those all inclusive places. We're reading breakfast on site. The

2354
02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:35,520
Speaker 1: waiter comes up to me and asks me. Now, I

2355
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:37,320
Speaker 1: had a Bill's shirt on, but he asked me, are

2356
02:01:37,320 --> 02:01:41,560
Speaker 1: you Chris Brown from the Bills website. I said yeah.

2357
02:01:41,680 --> 02:01:43,680
Speaker 1: He goes, oh my gosh, I am a huge you know,

2358
02:01:43,720 --> 02:01:46,200
Speaker 1: he's talking to me in English. I am a huge

2359
02:01:46,280 --> 02:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Bills fan and he's telling me, oh my gosh, we

2360
02:01:49,640 --> 02:01:51,200
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guy We watched the games every

2361
02:01:51,240 --> 02:01:53,480
Speaker 1: week and this blah can I take a picture? And

2362
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:55,680
Speaker 1: everyone I'm yeah, let's take a picture. So we're taking

2363
02:01:55,680 --> 02:01:58,040
Speaker 1: a picture. My wife's or my wife's jaw fell open.

2364
02:01:58,080 --> 02:02:00,720
Speaker 1: She's like, we are in Mexico. What the heck is

2365
02:02:00,760 --> 02:02:03,400
Speaker 1: going on here? International supers? Well, no, but I mean

2366
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:05,560
Speaker 1: I had to build internationals. There was a dead giveaway,

2367
02:02:05,680 --> 02:02:07,920
Speaker 1: but I was I was kind of taken aback, like

2368
02:02:08,520 --> 02:02:13,240
Speaker 1: there is there is a strong contingent of NFL fans

2369
02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:15,560
Speaker 1: down there in Mexico City, and it's something that's I

2370
02:02:15,600 --> 02:02:18,120
Speaker 1: think gotten to the point where the NFL realizes we

2371
02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:20,880
Speaker 1: can't ignore this anymore. They've played the games in Mexico City,

2372
02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:22,680
Speaker 1: as we know. But I think if they get if

2373
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:25,200
Speaker 1: the owners get what they want, they get that seventeenth game,

2374
02:02:25,640 --> 02:02:27,480
Speaker 1: I think Mexico City is going to be an annual

2375
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:30,600
Speaker 1: destination for one of those neutral games, maybe two. Yeah,

2376
02:02:30,640 --> 02:02:33,640
Speaker 1: And aside from the fact that we you know, they're

2377
02:02:33,680 --> 02:02:35,640
Speaker 1: probably not going to get their own team. One of

2378
02:02:35,640 --> 02:02:37,960
Speaker 1: the reasons they may get their own team as you

2379
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:40,960
Speaker 1: look around the cities in the US, what cities are

2380
02:02:41,040 --> 02:02:44,760
Speaker 1: left to expand into that are big enough to say, Yeah,

2381
02:02:44,840 --> 02:02:47,640
Speaker 1: maybe like, what are you gonna do? Go to Columbus, Ohio.

2382
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:50,760
Speaker 1: That's you know, kind of on the list, right San Antonio.

2383
02:02:51,160 --> 02:02:53,360
Speaker 1: They got three teams in Texas or you know, then

2384
02:02:53,440 --> 02:02:55,840
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? There's you just running out

2385
02:02:55,840 --> 02:02:58,080
Speaker 1: of cities that would be big enough to sustain one

2386
02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:01,600
Speaker 1: without a historical following. Certainly there are bigger cities than

2387
02:03:01,640 --> 02:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo and New Orleans and Jacksonville in those kind of places.

2388
02:03:04,960 --> 02:03:08,400
Speaker 1: But you know, they would weigh that right, and it

2389
02:03:08,440 --> 02:03:11,560
Speaker 1: would all let's face it, let's be pragmatic. It would

2390
02:03:11,600 --> 02:03:13,880
Speaker 1: be a dollar. It would be a math problem. Well,

2391
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,080
Speaker 1: and there'd be a lot of logistics to go over to.

2392
02:03:16,520 --> 02:03:22,440
Speaker 1: And what about convincing US citizens who are NFL players

2393
02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:26,280
Speaker 1: to make their money in another country? You know, now

2394
02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:28,640
Speaker 1: you're pulling You're pulling your family out of money, the

2395
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:30,760
Speaker 1: family in Mexico to live with you. Like the money

2396
02:03:30,760 --> 02:03:33,320
Speaker 1: they'd make, it would be in US dollars, all of it, right,

2397
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:35,760
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, logistically, where you're living, where's your

2398
02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:38,400
Speaker 1: family living? You launch your family in Mexico with you?

2399
02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:40,400
Speaker 1: Or you're saying, look, just stay back in the States.

2400
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:43,120
Speaker 1: I'll see you after the season. That's not very attractive.

2401
02:03:43,120 --> 02:03:45,080
Speaker 1: How do maybe I pack that team and maybe the game.

2402
02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:47,840
Speaker 1: Maybe the team would be stationed in Albuquerque and just

2403
02:03:47,840 --> 02:03:50,160
Speaker 1: fly in for their home games. I'm serious. You think

2404
02:03:50,360 --> 02:03:54,400
Speaker 1: you think I'm joking. Practice in Albuquerque, fly down every

2405
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:57,480
Speaker 1: whatever Albuquerque, or I'll pass or whatever, you know, some

2406
02:03:57,800 --> 02:04:00,800
Speaker 1: Staffe Kingston something, But you know what I mean. It

2407
02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:05,720
Speaker 1: would be something like that where Laredo. Yeah, because the

2408
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:07,720
Speaker 1: travel is nothing, I mean, the money is nothing at

2409
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:12,920
Speaker 1: that point because the revity would be astronomical. So all right, well,

2410
02:04:12,920 --> 02:04:16,400
Speaker 1: it's something that I think is gonna gain traction as

2411
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:18,320
Speaker 1: the years go by. Probably not in the near future,

2412
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:20,640
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe five eight years down the line,

2413
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:23,040
Speaker 1: it could be of greater consideration. All right. Number two,

2414
02:04:23,200 --> 02:04:26,400
Speaker 1: NFL true falls The NFL is putting a price tag

2415
02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:30,200
Speaker 1: on player's safety with their seventeen game proposal. Now this

2416
02:04:30,280 --> 02:04:33,760
Speaker 1: stems steve from what Richard Sherman sat down at the

2417
02:04:33,800 --> 02:04:37,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this week. He was asked about the seventeen

2418
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:42,480
Speaker 1: game ask, which is probably the chief component of what

2419
02:04:42,520 --> 02:04:45,879
Speaker 1: the owners want out of the new collective bargaining agreement,

2420
02:04:46,360 --> 02:04:49,600
Speaker 1: and he said, I don't really know how you can

2421
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:53,520
Speaker 1: talk about player's safety and want to add a seventeenth game.

2422
02:04:54,040 --> 02:04:56,560
Speaker 1: So in his mind, he said, the league is putting

2423
02:04:56,560 --> 02:04:59,440
Speaker 1: a price tag on player's safety with this proposal. When

2424
02:04:59,480 --> 02:05:02,760
Speaker 1: you hear players safety is their biggest concern, but it

2425
02:05:02,760 --> 02:05:06,360
Speaker 1: seems like player safety has a price tag. So true

2426
02:05:06,440 --> 02:05:09,640
Speaker 1: or false? Does it have a price tag? Well, it

2427
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:11,720
Speaker 1: always has. I don't know what. It's not a revelation

2428
02:05:12,680 --> 02:05:15,800
Speaker 1: and there and the players are willingly taking the money

2429
02:05:15,800 --> 02:05:21,040
Speaker 1: to get to do it. I get what he's saying. Sure,

2430
02:05:21,080 --> 02:05:23,920
Speaker 1: and it's but that's what they do and that's why

2431
02:05:23,960 --> 02:05:25,600
Speaker 1: they're paid a lot of money. It's going to be

2432
02:05:25,680 --> 02:05:29,720
Speaker 1: very interesting to see where this majority of the NFL leans.

2433
02:05:29,800 --> 02:05:32,720
Speaker 1: Which way do they lean when this decision, when the

2434
02:05:32,800 --> 02:05:34,320
Speaker 1: rubber meets the road, and they got to make a

2435
02:05:34,320 --> 02:05:37,000
Speaker 1: call on this because it goes it only goes to majority.

2436
02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:39,160
Speaker 1: From what I understand, on the part of the players

2437
02:05:39,200 --> 02:05:40,680
Speaker 1: vote as to whether they're going to be thumbs up

2438
02:05:40,760 --> 02:05:43,600
Speaker 1: or thumbs down on adding a seventeenth. It's two thirds

2439
02:05:43,640 --> 02:05:46,840
Speaker 1: of the thirty two players on the Players Council. Each

2440
02:05:46,920 --> 02:05:49,600
Speaker 1: team has one rep the player reps. Thirty two of

2441
02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:51,640
Speaker 1: those guys. Has to take two thirds of those guys

2442
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:53,440
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, we need to vote on this, and

2443
02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:55,560
Speaker 1: then after they go to the rank and file, which

2444
02:05:55,600 --> 02:05:58,280
Speaker 1: is like nineteen hundred guys, then it's just, you know,

2445
02:05:58,440 --> 02:06:01,480
Speaker 1: simple majority, eighteen hundred fifty one Yeah, you know or whatever.

2446
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:05,160
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, that's not right. Nine fifty one guys

2447
02:06:05,240 --> 02:06:07,400
Speaker 1: have to say yeah, that's it. That's what it will do.

2448
02:06:07,520 --> 02:06:11,080
Speaker 1: It just simple majority. Yeah, it takes two thirds of

2449
02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:13,640
Speaker 1: the of the player reps to say yes, was vote

2450
02:06:13,680 --> 02:06:15,040
Speaker 1: on it, and then it has to be a simple mention.

2451
02:06:15,120 --> 02:06:18,840
Speaker 1: What's going to be very compelling about that is, if

2452
02:06:18,880 --> 02:06:22,320
Speaker 1: you add a seventeenth game, you're adding an extra buye week,

2453
02:06:22,880 --> 02:06:26,960
Speaker 1: and you're probably also expanding the size if your rosters,

2454
02:06:27,200 --> 02:06:29,400
Speaker 1: just by virtue of the wear and tear that you

2455
02:06:29,480 --> 02:06:32,080
Speaker 1: know extra game might present. Don't know what the distails

2456
02:06:32,120 --> 02:06:34,480
Speaker 1: are there may be. I always I think that's the

2457
02:06:34,560 --> 02:06:36,880
Speaker 1: way to get the players to be more on board

2458
02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:40,200
Speaker 1: with it. Expand rosters give more guys jobs. Well, yeah,

2459
02:06:40,240 --> 02:06:42,040
Speaker 1: that's what I said too. I said you should. I

2460
02:06:42,120 --> 02:06:44,800
Speaker 1: thought it didn't go to an eighteen game schedule. Expand

2461
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:48,480
Speaker 1: the rosters give them everybody in mandatory. They do away

2462
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:51,560
Speaker 1: with two preseason games. Of course, let fifty three starts

2463
02:06:51,840 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 1: up on Sunday, they would start. They would start the

2464
02:06:54,360 --> 02:06:57,760
Speaker 1: season two weeks before Labor Day because they never can

2465
02:06:57,800 --> 02:06:59,520
Speaker 1: Hear's the thing. The TV people don't want games on

2466
02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:04,280
Speaker 1: Labor because nobody's watching TV on labored, everybody's out on vacation.

2467
02:07:04,400 --> 02:07:06,640
Speaker 1: So what they do is start two weeks before Labor Day.

2468
02:07:06,680 --> 02:07:08,840
Speaker 1: It'd be a league wide bye week on Labor Day,

2469
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:11,320
Speaker 1: and then the regular bye week schedule after that, the

2470
02:07:11,400 --> 02:07:15,840
Speaker 1: sixteen game schedule over seventeen weeks. It'd be easy, but

2471
02:07:16,160 --> 02:07:19,960
Speaker 1: the two games seem to be to me and I

2472
02:07:20,120 --> 02:07:25,080
Speaker 1: used to play. Just add the two games, but make

2473
02:07:25,120 --> 02:07:27,520
Speaker 1: it worth their while. Financially you get the way that

2474
02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:30,400
Speaker 1: would stand would be almost a twelve percent increase in product,

2475
02:07:30,400 --> 02:07:33,640
Speaker 1: which means twelve percent more TV money, twelve percent more

2476
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:37,840
Speaker 1: of that stuff. And the the money's already escalating by

2477
02:07:38,480 --> 02:07:42,600
Speaker 1: nine percent a year, w know a year. The money

2478
02:07:43,720 --> 02:07:45,800
Speaker 1: is where it's at. You pay the players, they'll take

2479
02:07:45,880 --> 02:07:49,720
Speaker 1: the risk. Yeah, that's the way it is. That's the

2480
02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:53,400
Speaker 1: way it's always been. Yeah, that's what that's what football is. Bro. Yeah,

2481
02:07:53,480 --> 02:07:55,920
Speaker 1: it's like everybody's talking about how Richard Sherman made this

2482
02:07:56,000 --> 02:08:00,800
Speaker 1: bold statement. I mean it's he's like Captain obvious, isn't

2483
02:08:00,840 --> 02:08:03,840
Speaker 1: he exactly? I'm saying true as well with that one?

2484
02:08:03,880 --> 02:08:07,880
Speaker 1: All right? Number three for NFL true false. Ryan Tannehill

2485
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:13,200
Speaker 1: should be the Titans quarterback in twenty twenty true or false?

2486
02:08:13,360 --> 02:08:15,960
Speaker 1: I think true. I think Ryan Tannehill's crazy to leave.

2487
02:08:16,280 --> 02:08:17,960
Speaker 1: For one thing, well, he would be crazy to leave.

2488
02:08:18,040 --> 02:08:21,200
Speaker 1: Let's look at this from the Titans perspective. Okay, put

2489
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:25,400
Speaker 1: together a really good season. Okay, after you were middling

2490
02:08:25,480 --> 02:08:28,800
Speaker 1: it with Marcus Mariota for four years, five years almost

2491
02:08:30,120 --> 02:08:34,000
Speaker 1: Tannehill catches fire, team goes to the playoffs, They win

2492
02:08:34,080 --> 02:08:38,520
Speaker 1: a playoff game, beat the Patriots in New England. I

2493
02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:42,480
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot in his cache right now. So

2494
02:08:42,720 --> 02:08:45,440
Speaker 1: I think it's I think the Titans make an effort

2495
02:08:46,440 --> 02:08:50,440
Speaker 1: to keep Tannehill. But how much of a commitment do

2496
02:08:50,520 --> 02:08:52,720
Speaker 1: you make to Tannehill? Do you just franchise him for

2497
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:54,800
Speaker 1: this year and just go one year? I don't give

2498
02:08:54,840 --> 02:08:57,600
Speaker 1: him that much money. I don't give him that much money.

2499
02:08:57,920 --> 02:09:00,400
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. There's too many quarterbacks of ale that

2500
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:02,720
Speaker 1: are everything up to this point of their career that

2501
02:09:02,920 --> 02:09:07,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill was before this year. The focus is for

2502
02:09:07,240 --> 02:09:10,280
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans is this, If Derrick Henry's coming back,

2503
02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:14,800
Speaker 1: we can live with Ryan Tannehill. If he's not, we cannot.

2504
02:09:15,640 --> 02:09:17,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's the way it's got to go

2505
02:09:17,360 --> 02:09:20,800
Speaker 1: down for me. Derrick Henry is is the number one

2506
02:09:22,160 --> 02:09:27,720
Speaker 1: priority for me, So franchise him and maybe transition tag Dannehill. Yeah,

2507
02:09:27,720 --> 02:09:29,400
Speaker 1: because he can do both in the last year of

2508
02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:31,600
Speaker 1: the CBA. I think that's I think that's what they do.

2509
02:09:31,800 --> 02:09:34,120
Speaker 1: I think that's where you go because they put together

2510
02:09:34,200 --> 02:09:35,880
Speaker 1: this nice run, and it was a nice run and

2511
02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill was spectacularly good in this run. Well let's

2512
02:09:40,680 --> 02:09:41,920
Speaker 1: see you do it again. If you do it again

2513
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:44,920
Speaker 1: next year, then we'll talk. Yeah, then we'll talk. But

2514
02:09:45,000 --> 02:09:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I would say certainly, you make a

2515
02:09:48,040 --> 02:09:51,120
Speaker 1: run at Tannehill. You owe him that for what he

2516
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:52,640
Speaker 1: did for you to get to the playoffs and get

2517
02:09:52,640 --> 02:09:57,240
Speaker 1: to the championship game. But you gotta you gotta stay disciplined.

2518
02:09:58,160 --> 02:10:02,520
Speaker 1: So you're saying true, I'll say true. And if i'm

2519
02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:07,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, I am thanking you with my hat in

2520
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:10,320
Speaker 1: my hand saying yes, I will take that contract. Whatever

2521
02:10:10,360 --> 02:10:15,840
Speaker 1: should I'm just, I'm just, I'm just arguing the semantics

2522
02:10:15,920 --> 02:10:19,320
Speaker 1: of the statement. Ryan Tannehill should be the Titans quarterback

2523
02:10:19,400 --> 02:10:23,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. I don't know if he has to be,

2524
02:10:24,600 --> 02:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Um is he the best fit for them? I think

2525
02:10:28,320 --> 02:10:30,480
Speaker 1: it's hard to say right now. For now, I'll say true,

2526
02:10:30,560 --> 02:10:33,680
Speaker 1: just because we don't know where these other quarterbacks are

2527
02:10:33,720 --> 02:10:35,640
Speaker 1: going to end up. But you know what if what

2528
02:10:35,800 --> 02:10:38,480
Speaker 1: if Cincinnati calls even say hey, you want Andy Dalton?

2529
02:10:40,120 --> 02:10:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, is is Ryan Tannehill better than Andy Dalton?

2530
02:10:42,600 --> 02:10:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, he is kinda I mean, you can

2531
02:10:47,600 --> 02:10:51,000
Speaker 1: have Ryan Tannehill just for money. They're trying to trade

2532
02:10:51,040 --> 02:10:53,320
Speaker 1: to Andy Dalton and he don't give something in the

2533
02:10:53,440 --> 02:10:55,760
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth year of a deal that he signed

2534
02:10:55,800 --> 02:10:58,360
Speaker 1: that was not by any standard. Now it's not that big,

2535
02:10:58,840 --> 02:11:01,920
Speaker 1: but I just might be again, they might be. This

2536
02:11:02,080 --> 02:11:03,800
Speaker 1: is not ready to commit to tan Hill for more

2537
02:11:03,840 --> 02:11:06,200
Speaker 1: than a year. I need to see him for more

2538
02:11:06,240 --> 02:11:07,800
Speaker 1: than a year. But I guess he's your quarterback for

2539
02:11:07,880 --> 02:11:10,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. All right. That's NFL True Falls presented by

2540
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy New York's artists and cheese. Steve and I

2541
02:11:13,520 --> 02:11:16,200
Speaker 1: wrap up the show. Next, it's One Bills Live from

2542
02:11:16,240 --> 02:11:35,640
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bills or Radio sliding

2543
02:11:35,680 --> 02:11:37,640
Speaker 1: out of here on a Thursday. It's what if we

2544
02:11:37,880 --> 02:11:42,120
Speaker 1: learned from today's show, presented by Skyworks, the official construction

2545
02:11:42,240 --> 02:11:47,000
Speaker 1: equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. Man. That's a mouthful, well, Steve.

2546
02:11:47,480 --> 02:11:50,560
Speaker 1: The first thing we learned is one Sean McDermott as

2547
02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:53,360
Speaker 1: a finalist for NFL Coach of the Year. He joined

2548
02:11:53,440 --> 02:11:56,400
Speaker 1: us here in studio earlier in the program and tell

2549
02:11:56,480 --> 02:11:59,600
Speaker 1: us told us how it felt to be a finalist.

2550
02:12:01,360 --> 02:12:04,400
Speaker 1: It is an honor um. But like like most of

2551
02:12:04,480 --> 02:12:06,720
Speaker 1: the awards or most of the recognition, I think it's

2552
02:12:07,040 --> 02:12:10,360
Speaker 1: it's truly a team, team deal, and you don't you

2553
02:12:10,440 --> 02:12:13,840
Speaker 1: don't get that that recognition without winning games. And you

2554
02:12:13,880 --> 02:12:16,520
Speaker 1: don't win games without a team and a great staff

2555
02:12:16,640 --> 02:12:20,440
Speaker 1: and great support in our building. So I'm much appreciative

2556
02:12:20,520 --> 02:12:22,839
Speaker 1: of that, and I think it's great to be recognize

2557
02:12:22,920 --> 02:12:26,160
Speaker 1: great for our team, great for Buffalo. So good luck

2558
02:12:26,200 --> 02:12:28,800
Speaker 1: to coach. On Saturday night at the NFL Honors Show,

2559
02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:31,400
Speaker 1: that's when the announcement will be made as to who

2560
02:12:31,440 --> 02:12:33,360
Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year is and coach will be

2561
02:12:33,400 --> 02:12:36,240
Speaker 1: in attendance down there in Miami. We also talked to

2562
02:12:36,360 --> 02:12:42,400
Speaker 1: Joel Corey, CBS Sports, NFL CAP analyst free agency experts,

2563
02:12:42,960 --> 02:12:47,440
Speaker 1: and we asked him what Patrick Mahomes could make on

2564
02:12:47,640 --> 02:12:52,160
Speaker 1: his next contract. I don't know. If it's two hundred million,

2565
02:12:52,320 --> 02:12:54,480
Speaker 1: he should be the first forty million dollars per year

2566
02:12:54,560 --> 02:12:57,840
Speaker 1: player in the NFL. But if being the first two

2567
02:12:57,920 --> 02:12:59,880
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar player means I have to give a

2568
02:13:00,160 --> 02:13:03,120
Speaker 1: more than four new years, and I'm assuming that that

2569
02:13:03,160 --> 02:13:05,480
Speaker 1: would be be under contract six years because of the

2570
02:13:05,520 --> 02:13:08,320
Speaker 1: option will be exercised. I don't want to be that guy.

2571
02:13:08,520 --> 02:13:10,280
Speaker 1: If after to give it more than four new years,

2572
02:13:10,320 --> 02:13:13,120
Speaker 1: I'd rather do the four new years come in and

2573
02:13:13,520 --> 02:13:16,960
Speaker 1: the low forties, be under two hundred overall for the

2574
02:13:17,040 --> 02:13:20,840
Speaker 1: six years, and be up a year sooner. He is

2575
02:13:20,880 --> 02:13:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a landmark contract, There's no doubt about it.

2576
02:13:23,640 --> 02:13:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's an MVP in his second year.

2577
02:13:26,040 --> 02:13:30,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna make bookoo bucks. But Prescott's probably happening before him,

2578
02:13:30,800 --> 02:13:34,040
Speaker 1: I think yeah. And the salarycap is going up, up up,

2579
02:13:34,080 --> 02:13:36,680
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones ain't afraid of the price tag. That

2580
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:40,080
Speaker 1: was pretty good. I gotta get you on gun smoke

2581
02:13:40,160 --> 02:13:42,920
