69
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: And I've said this to my wife before. As long

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: as we've lived here, and it's ninety three, it's twenty

71
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: seven years. The number of day, twenty seven years. I

72
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: bet we've really used the family room ten times in

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: twenty seven years. Nobody, nobody ever goes in there. I

74
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: mean it's fully decorated and upholstered and furnished. There's no

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: reason to go in there. Why would you go in there?

76
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: There's nothing to do except sit and talk. My house

77
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: was full to the brim when we had five kids

78
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: at home, right, and now with just my wife, just

00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: out or whatever. There are rooms that I won't go

85
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,240

88
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: one is an office, one is a workout room. And

89
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,760

96
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: and I have to say, I don't think that's really

97
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: in the in the spirit of quarantining. Let me find it,

98
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: not in the spirit of quarantine. But I kind of

99
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: get it. It's hard I do too, But give us

100
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: a break, man. Yeah, right, we're trying. We're trying to

101
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,880

102
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: a half weeks away, two weeks from Thursday, from the

00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: first day of the draft. Our show has been kind

104
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: of steaming along, and there have been days when we

105
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, we do the Twitter pole kind of have

106
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: something to center around and come back to Dreys. So

107
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: there have been times during this quarantine or this social

108
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: distancing that we're doing, that Twitter poll's gotten in our way.

109
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: We got good stuff. Yeah, today's Twitter poll. J W

115
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,320

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: a wine cellar too. I mean, you'd never run out

154
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: of that stuff. And it's all high end. Same with Bruce.

155
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: Have to be there, Yeah, okay, Bruce, that would be

156
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: that would be determined for me. I'm quarantined in somebody's house.

157
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: But do they have to be there? Well, that's the thing.

158
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: He'd be there, but you know it's so big. His

159
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: place is so big. I mean he's out on he'd

160
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: get out. You got the back patio there out on

161
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: the Virginia Beach Waterway. There, beautiful view, big expansive, big pool.

162
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling you Bruce might be the guy. What about

163
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: your house? You got a nice house in the woods

164
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: over in Eace, Aurora, And nobody's in my house though

165
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: you could come over. Yeah, I got a nice house

166
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: in the woods. Its secluded it's real, you know, but

167
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: you know you're quarned. If you're quarantined, you know you

168
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: need some space, that's for sure. I do have some space.

169
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: I'd have a big yard and stuff to do. But man,

170
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: oh man, it's a good one because then you got it.

171
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: You got it. Sooner or later, you're gonna have to have,

172
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, conversations, an interaction together, right right, And for

173
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: most people, And the gist of the question is who

174
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: would you what buffalo bill would you want to be

175
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: quarantined with? The idea is that who could you most

176
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: interact with and have the most fun for the longest period,

177
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: right right. That's a tough question. Yeah, I mean, you know,

178
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: I've known fred Smerlas for twenty five thirty years. I

179
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: would I know, I'd be comfortable with him just hanging

180
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: with him and be I know what to expect from

181
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: his expansive personality. Yeah, Freddy would be a good one. Yeah,

182
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: he's funny, he's using upbeat in a good mood. I

183
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: don't know, though, to be quarantined with a player, oh boy,

184
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: I don't know that. It takes me a while to

185
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: come to settle on one guy. I mean, I know

186
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on a on a you know,

187
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: peripheral basis, but to dive in with somebody who lived

188
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: with them for well, let's say the quarantine period is, well,

189
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: we're into a month now, a month long. That'd be

190
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: kind of tough. Yeah, that would be And I'll tell

191
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: you it's true that would would you want somebody that

192
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: you already know really well? Or would you want to

193
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: just start from scratch with somebody who you know, you know,

194
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: like Kelso might be the most meek and mild mannered guy.

195
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: You know, he's send him to his room. He wouldn't

196
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: see him for three days. So you know, right, I

197
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: know Mark pretty well. I don't know what Yeah, I'm

198
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: not saying I know, yeah, I know him intimately, but

199
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: I know him pretty well whenever for a long time, right. Yeah. Yeah,

200
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: it's a good question because you've kind of got to

201
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: know that everything about the person is going to get

202
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: exaggerated to the degree you're gonna have to put up

203
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: with it. When when the things that you like about

204
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: him become the things that you hate about him. Yeah,

205
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: and that goes for us too, and that, right, who'd

206
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: be able to handle me? Maybe that's why I look

207
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: at it right to right. You should because yeah, they're

208
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: corn teen with us too, don't forget. Yeah, we'd be

209
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: able to handle you. Who wouldn't get sick? Your your blowney?

210
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah after a month. I don't know a short list.

Speaker 1: He is also the sideline reporter on the Bills the

218

Speaker 1: Bills Football Network preseason games. Who knows if you'll have

219
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: preseason games to do this year? And I'll see yeah, Um,

220
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm still optimistic, you know what I mean.

221
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean yes, And I know this too. This is

222
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: the craziest thing about this quarantine, Murph. I'm sitting here

223
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: rubbing my face. It changes every day the way I

224
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: feel about the long term ramifications about this. You know,

225
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: my outlook changes day by day. One one day I'm

226
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: gonna think, Man, I don't know if we're gonna this

227
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: may change us fun to Italy for a long time,

228
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, and then the next day it's like that,

229
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: it'll be all right, you know, we're gonna what were doing,

230
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: what we're doing preseason games in August and you know,

231
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: kick off a season, even if it's abbreviated. As soon

232
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: as we kick it off, it's gonna feel normal. Let's go.

233
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: And but other days I'm like, oh, am, I, is

234
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: it ever gonna happen, you know, as gonna be fundamentally changed.

235
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's that. It's really weird to think

236
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: about it like that. It sure is, and it's been.

237
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: It's been very weird. There is this they came out

238
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: today and it's not about football, but I think it's

239
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: a sign, you know, all these sports are kind of

240
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: in the same boat. There's discussion about baseball some hour

241
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: returning uh sometime in the month of March, major League Baseball.

242
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: It'd be baseball with a bit of a twist, actually

243
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: a big twist. Here's the report for ESPN. Major League

244
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: Baseball and its players are focused on a plan that

245
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: could allow them to start the season as early as

246
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: May um. The plan has a number of potential stumbling blocks.

247
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: The plan would dictate that all thirty teams play games

248
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: at stadiums with no fans in the Phoenix area, including

249
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: the Arizona I'monbacks, the home team. They would use their

250
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: home stadium, Chase Field. There's ten spring training facilities there,

251
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: maybe some nearby fields. Players, coaching staffs, another essential personnel

252
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: will be sequest sequestered at local hotels. They'd live in

253
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: relative isolation and travel only to and from the stadium.

254
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, baseball is talking. They're talking

255
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: about it. It's nothing settled. Get they're talking about maybe

256
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: starting that in May. M starting the baseball season in May,

257
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: which would be about a month late, with everybody set

258
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: up in Arizona, and it would be broadcast, right, Yeah,

259
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: I guess that's what they're What are they doing. I

260
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: guess they're trying to save that right, to save the

261
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: broadcast rights. They'd have something that people could watch major

262
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: League Baseball. It'd be weird to have It'd be weird

263
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: to have all the the games in one area, you know.

264
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: And I guess they can do it with facilities they

265
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: have in Arizona, and they don't need space for fans.

266
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: Be weird not to have any fans there Steve. Do

267
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: they usually Yeah, yes they do, Yeah, yeah, because I

268
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: see a lot of baseball games with a lot of

269
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: empty seats. That's all I'm saying. I'm I'm making a

270
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: bad joke. But here's the thing. That it would be broadcast.

271
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: Here's the thing too, Murph. If say, for instance, every

272
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: team has wants to broadcast and all that, Wow that

273
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: it really is a weird scenario. It would be one

274
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: huge backlot of a movie movie studio where they've got

275
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: all these movies being shot live, you know what I mean,

276
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: live commentary all at once. No fans, I think, but

277
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: you know, and people, you know, think about how you know,

278
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: it would be tough for the players. They'd be away

279
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: from their families and all that. But you know, the

280
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: players get pay big money, you know, and if you

281
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: up the andy and you know, up the expectation, maybe

282
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: they'd be willing to do it. Man, oh man, that

283
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: just sounds really weird to me. I know that somebody

284
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: floated that out there for the buff for the football.

285
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: For there's just absolutely no way that could work for

286
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: the football, Are you sure? Why not? There's just no way. Why.

287
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: First of all, there's no facility like that for for football,

288
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: there's absolutely no facility like that. Now, you could go

289
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: in someplace and say and set up for like what

290
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: uh like some soccer facility where they've got like nine fields, right,

291
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: But even then you'd have to sequester the coaches, the players,

292
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: and all the scouting, the film study, the logistics, the

293
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: support staffs. You're talking you know, twenty thousand people, you

294
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: know that many? I mean look at three all right,

295
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: let's say, well it'd be what thirty two teams that

296
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: have at least three hundred people on the staff. Well,

297
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: mean that might be a little heavy. I mean think

298
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: of when a team goes down the road, it's typically

299
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: a traveling party of what one hundred and twenty per team? Right,

300
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Why would you need any more than the people that

301
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: go on the road to be there at the site.

302
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm not kating this, by the way. I think it

303
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: would be there's a number of problems with it. But

304
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: if they were to do that in football, one of

305
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: the real problems would be would you have individual medical

306
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: facilities or not? Would you have the training facilities? Wouldn't

307
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: be as plush or as productive and usable as they

308
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: are now. Hotels sequestered hotels, meals officials, officiating, replay review,

309
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: All of this goes on in some form in baseball.

310
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: Why can baseball do it in that football? I don't Yeah,

311
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't, Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Baseball's got,

312
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, half the roster, a fifth of the coaching staff.

313
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how many medical people they would employ.

314
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know that it's been discussed about football,

315
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: and I hope it doesn't happen. The one thing I

316
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: think that would be glaring, glaringly obviously, would be the

317
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: lack of fans in the stands. Um And I think

318
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: when you watch a football game on TV, part of

319
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: the show is the fans, and part of the forty

320
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: percent of the atmosphere is the noise and excitement generated

321
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: by the fans in the stands. It would be gone,

322
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: It would be gone, and it would be weird. I

323
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: think it would be a completely different experience even for

324
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: the people, for people watching it on TV. Forget about,

325
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, the experience of nobody being there, the fan,

326
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: the players, and the coaches. And now they practiced like that,

327
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: and every day they practice, they play and there's no

328
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: fans around, so and they scrimmage and there's nobody around,

329
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, and all that. Uh So, I think for

330
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: the players and coaches it would be easier than anybody else.

331
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: But when you're out there, you're gonna play an NFL

332
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: game live in an open field with no stands at all,

333
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: like like in a you know what, there's no fence,

334
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: no nothing. That's yeah, that would be a weird scenario,

335
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: somebody would Some would argue that, you know, football is

336
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: a television sport. It fits perfectly on your screen television,

337
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: and football might be most adaptable to that sort of

338
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: set up. One of our producers, Jeff Colteneck, says, one

339
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: of the things you'd have to consider is the buy

340
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: in from players, and he's right, you know, you're talking

341
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: about a Major League Baseball have to do this too,

342
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: sequestering these players from their families, from their friends for

343
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: four or five months, and you'd have to do the

344
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: same for football from September, October, November, December, January, you know,

345
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: four or five months, four and a half months away

346
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: from their families. Other players are going to say, yeah, okay,

347
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: I'll do that, play football. I don't know, it's a

348
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: lot to ask. I don't know how it would work,

349
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: but I know it's being discussed. Yeah, And that's the

350
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: thing too, that that's still up in the air. It

351
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily have to be for five months if you

352
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: caught that, particularly for football. Let's take the timing of

353
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: football theoretically, and hopefully by the time July and August

354
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: roll around the entire countries on the back side of

355
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: the curve so slowly but surely they could start to

356
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: bloom and get back to their regular facilities. Perhaps, you

357
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean, if after they've been sequestered and

358
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: everybody tests negative, they could move back home to their

359
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: own facilities, and then by that they could have games

360
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: on site in their stadiums without fans, and then move

361
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: on and escalate it from there, you know, and get

362
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: them back to a more normal atmosphere. But the time frame,

363
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: you never know if it's gonna like if it started today,

364
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: certainly they'd have to be sequestered for the next what

365
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: eight weeks anyway, and depending on where you are in

366
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: the country, because it hasn't peaked in other parts of

367
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: the country, right, Yeah, why would you what do you

368
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: mean if football started today? Why would you? I'm just

369
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: saying if it did that's to make the point that

370
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, six months from now, it may be a

371
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: very different landscape for how hard we have to sequester

372
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: in different parts of the country. New York may be

373
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: completely under control, while California may be just elevating or

374
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, just past their can same thing with Nevada

375
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: and Florida and Texas and all you know, Kansas City, Colorado,

376
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: all that. You never know where these populations are going

377
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: to be in relation to the virus. So, but you'd

378
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: have to treat every team the same, right for competitive advantage. Yeah,

379
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: and once you know one of the players tested positive

380
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: for coronavirus, it would kind of be game over right

381
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: for everybody. You don't want them transmitted among the rest

382
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: of the team. So that's a major complication too. All

383
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying is I'm not advocating this because I think

384
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: it would be a mess, and I might be against it.

385
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: I'd have to, Like you said, it's too early to determine.

386
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: But it is being discussed, and Baseball is down the

387
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: road a little bit discussing moving all of their teams

388
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: to one location, Houston and putting games essentially on TV

389
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: for the rest of the country. No fans involved. It

390
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: would be Houston or Phoenix or Phoenix. Yeah, I'm sorry, Phoenix.

391
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: There's ye like where they had the Cactus League, right yeah. Yeah,

392
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: They've got ten stadiums ready to go and doesn't matter

393
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: what the stadium capacity is because they're not going to

394
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: have fans there, right, Yeah, that'll be empty. They could

395
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: put they could just be like, uh, you know the

396
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Costner movie, Just build an open Just build a

397
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: ball diamonds in Iowa in a cornfield. Yeah, if you

398
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: build it, they'll come, right, So, well, they won't come.

399
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: If you build it, they can't come. If you build it,

400
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: they can't come. Yeah, that's perfect. So Than Brown from

401
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: New Roc joining us at one two o'clock. Mike Giardi

402
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: from NFL Network will join us talk about a variety

403
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: of NFL issues, will deal with some of this. It's

404
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: interesting to me, Steve, that the baseball is considering this.

405
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: It indicates I think the first tiptoeing into a return

406
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: to normalcy. And we're not over it yet. The virus

407
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: threat is not over yet, but you can see the

408
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: teams are thinking about the backside of this and the

409
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: end of this, and that's that's encouraging to me. I think, yeah,

410
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: I think too, And I said this before, kind of

411
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: half lookingly, that you think when the end of this comes,

412
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an evolution out of it. It's not

413
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: gonna be like a drop dead date where we can

414
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: all bust out of our windows and doors and you know,

415
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: head down to the pub. Right. You know, it's gonna

416
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: have to be a gradual de escalation. Certainly, it's easier

417
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: to shut it down with one order than it is

418
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: to open it back up, because you know, you can

419
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: imagine you know, the you know, the crowds and the

420
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: chaos that would ensue after everybody gets loose from there

421
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: being quarantined. But yeah, it at some point you got

422
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: to start thinking like that. It might be a little early,

423
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: but that's human nature, you know, we're looking forward to

424
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: it and to when it happens. So yeah, I think

425
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: it's only natural that the leagues will start to think

426
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: about alternatives to how they have done business in the

427
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: path in the past, to see if they can get

428
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: something done now and in the media future. Yep, all right,

429
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: So that's our show than Brown at one, Mike Gard

430
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: at two, and plenty of your time in between to

431
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: talk about this issue, or we'd like to be quarantined

432
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: with former or current Buffalo Bill eight three fifty toll

433
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: free one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Hey, Steve, Overnight,

434
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: you came across the memo that went out to all

435
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: players in the NFL about the restrictions, which are pretty

436
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: similar to normal restrictions, except that the players obviously cannot

437
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: go to club training centers but they're prohibited and how

438
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: much they can do and what teams are how much

439
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: teams are able to contact them, which is essentially zero.

440
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting that strength and conditioning coaching

441
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: staffs can send each player a video workout, voluntary workout

442
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: with you know, keep in mind these workouts which are

443
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: starting here in April, the offseason conditioning programs, they're all voluntary,

444
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: but they can send them a voluntary workout. Hey, here's

445
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: what we want you to work on. And I saw

446
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: in the memo you sent they can send them equipment too,

447
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: which is interesting. They can send them exactly how they

448
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: want them to work I guess yeah. And I think

449
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: that the reason this is on anybody's radars because the

450
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: league has already kind of told the teams the organizations

451
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: what's going on, and they expect them to, you know,

452
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: they expect them to obey that order by the league.

453
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: Now they send it to the players, and one of

454
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: the things that does is it helps everybody be accountable

455
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: to what's going on, because if a player feels like

456
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: their team is doing something illegal, or if that players

457
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: being asked to do something he's not supposed to have

458
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: to do, it gives the league a voice, somebody to

459
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: go back to the league and say, hey, this team's cheating,

460
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, basically, but it also makes sure the league says, hey,

461
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,239
Speaker 1: whatever your teams are telling you, this is the how

462
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: it's going to be. We want to be clear on it.

463
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: And that's you know, it's just making sure that from

464
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: the league send it to the teams. Now they send

465
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: it to the players, and it's the same message, and

466
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: that's basically it. It's a clarification of what everybody should

467
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: already know. I would think a good smart team these

468
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: days this week in the NFL, or as soon as

469
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: they're able to maybe it's able twenty if for the

470
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: Bills and other teams that would start, then I would

471
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: think they get to other some workout videos and send

472
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: them to these players along with you know, the basic

473
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: concepts of the playbook, right, I mean, there's nothing to

474
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: stop Bryan Gable from putting together a basic playbook you

475
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: can send to all the members of the offense saying here,

476
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do when you come back. Whenever

477
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: it is right, they'll probably do that right if that, Yeah,

478
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: whatever's legal, they're going to take advantage, full advantage of it,

479
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: no question. And that's you know, it's gonna be difficult,

480
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: but the players will be in on it. The player

481
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: because the players want to be coached, they always do.

482
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: They want to be coached, they want to get better,

483
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: and so they'll be really eager to get something from

484
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: the club about what they're supposed to be doing. Now, certainly,

485
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: some of these guys, as we've seen on Twitter and

486
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: all this, they put out videos and themselves working out

487
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: if they can. Their ability to do that is a little,

488
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: probably a little curtailed, and that's that's going to be

489
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: one of the problems because none of these guys have

490
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: a uniform set of equipment that any one video is

491
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: going to be make possible for all of these guys

492
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: to do same. You know, what I'm saying, and not

493
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: only well, they do individualize the workouts anyway, but if

494
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: you send to say, for instance, if the bills send

495
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary a workout and it calls for him to

496
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: have a certain apparatus and he doesn't have it, well,

497
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: then what are you gonna do? You know? So that's

498
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: that's the challenge for the strength and conditioning coaches to overcome.

499
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see hear all the stories

500
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: about how guys overcame that just kind of being sequestered

501
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: in their own place with maybe non access to the

502
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: equipment they're normally used to having, it says, and the

503
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: memo that went out to players. Player activities cannot be

504
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: supervisor directed, but a strength and conditioning coach may call

505
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: players to determine what type of training equipment they may

506
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: have available. The strength and conditioning staff may send the

507
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: player exercise equipment up to an NFL set limit on

508
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: its value. So in other words, I can see where

509
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: teams would it will cost some money, but maybe sending

510
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: basic you know, well a players saying here here's what

511
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: we want you to work out, here's what you can do, right,

512
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they do that they'd have to, they should. Yeah, exactly,

513
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: they'll do everything they can, and I'm sure too. What

514
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: the league will do is say, okay, listen, if you

515
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: can do all that, you better send us a copy

516
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: of it too, because if it's illegal for the coaching

517
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: staff for anything other than the strength conditioning staff. So

518
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: you don't want your defensive line coach sneaking into the

519
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: video and saying, hey, work on this technique, you know,

520
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: or start thinking about this. If that's illegal, you can't

521
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: do that. So if it's only the strength conditioning coaches,

522
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: they probably will not do any XS and O stuff.

523
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: They probably won't include any terminology. Plus, if you're sending

524
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: that out into the nether reaches, there's a lot of

525
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: competitive advantage. Coaches don't like doing that, putting information out

526
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: there that anybody can have access to, particularly the teams

527
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: in their division. So there's that kind of a ranch

528
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: in the works as well. So it'll be really general conditioning.

529
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: They'll give these guys a probably more importantly, Murph, what

530
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: they really thirst four is information about what's coming next

531
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: on the schedule, when can they do something and what,

532
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: and that that's what the players really want, Like everybody else,

533
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: how can you answer their question? You can't answer that question. Now,

534
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: that's exactly the players can listen. The players know how

535
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 1: to work out. You can't get to the level all

536
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: these guys are without knowing exactly what makes you tick

537
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: and work out. And I get it. Conditioning and strength

538
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: is important, but mostly it's about maintenance and staying healthy

539
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL in the off season. These guys got

540
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: a thousand ways to stay in shape. You know, they've

541
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: they've got personal trainers and stuff. They don't you know,

542
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: what they really want is certainty about what's going to happen.

543
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: And that's the one thing nobody's got. You know what,

544
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: I didn't see it in the memo that you you've

545
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: provided to us team, the memo that went out from

546
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the league to players. But I went about feedback. In

547
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: other words, canna players shoot work work, Shoot a workout

548
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: video of how he's doing on this particular piece of equipment,

549
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: or or what his times are, how much he's lifting.

550
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: Can he shoot that back to strength and conditioning to

551
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: get feed act like, Hey, here's what it looks like.

552
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: What do you think I wonder right that would be

553
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: valuable to strength coaches? How can you remember that exercise.

554
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: I gave him that drill. I gave them No. I

555
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: don't know if that's I don't know if that's I

556
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: don't if that's legal or not. Maybe it is. I

557
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: don't think it's mentioned in this memo that you came across.

558
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: The memo from the NFL to the players about exactly

559
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: what's allowed. I don't think it's it's mentioned at all.

560
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: I would I would think that'd be. I mean, it's

561
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: just like I'm in a coach standing there and watching

562
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: you do your workout right, it's you know, how they

563
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: give feedback. Will that'd be important feedback anyway that went

564
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: out to players, I guess overnight. We expect to hear

565
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: more about that in the next couple of weeks, especially

566
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: as as the Bills time. April twentieth would have been

567
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: their day to start their offseason conditioning. We are less

568
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: than two weeks away from that, right, that would be

569
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: two weeks from yesterday. Hey, we want to remind you

570
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: about what came out yesterday. Brandon, being the Bill's general manager,

Speaker 1: thing for you. I watched the thirties on Monday and

695
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,439

696
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: if I have a nomination, I want to make for

697
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: two players and maybe we should do this for football.

698
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: Two players that I never saw that I wish I

699
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: would have seen play baseball. And I never saw these

700
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: guys on TV or anything. They were retired by the

701
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: time I got it interested one Joe Di Maggio to

702
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: Ted Williams. The two of them, they're magical. And the

703
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: film that they have him on, the Ken Vernons documentary

704
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: is amazing. Their approach was amade. They're two totally different personalities.

705
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: Ted Williams, all he cared about was hitting. They talked

706
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: about how he'd stand in the outfield and practice his swing.

707
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: You know he would he wouldn't even be planning attention

708
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: to the fielding when he was playing the outfield. He'd

709
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: be he'd be thinking about his next at bat. All

710
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: he cared about was hitting. You know the famous quote

711
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: I wanted to walk down the street and people say,

712
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: there goes the best hitter that ever lived. And they

713
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: probably could say that if you were still around with

714
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: us today. But he and Joe Tomaco two like mythical,

715
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: magical figures. I wish I would have a chance to play,

716
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: a chance to see everybody like that. I'm sure they're

717
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: not baseball players. No, I you know, there was only

718
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: two people whom I would have asked for an autograph.

719
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: I know that because I have people asking me for

720
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: my autograph once in a while, and I'm like, so,

721
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm totally unimpressed with getting autographs. People are asking me

722
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: for my autographs? What's it worth? Right? So, but there

723
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: is two people. There are two people that I really

724
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: would have loved meeting. Both of them are maybe they

725
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: have yeah, Muhammad Ali, which I never had a chance

726
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: to meet him. And Howard Cosell. Really yeah, I would

727
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: have loved to have dinner with Howard Cosell, get a

728
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: chance to meet him. You know who got to know

729
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: Howard Cosell pretty well early part of his career was

730
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: James Lofton. James ran up against Howard a couple of

731
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: times and they were acquainted. I just think and for

732
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: the two things that I did as a professional athlete

733
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: when it's a different sport obviously in football than rather

734
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: than prize fighting like Muhammad Ali, but also the broadcast

735
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: side of it that Howard Cosell was in as well.

736
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: So those two guys were kind of in my formative

737
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: years and growing up, were legends for a long long time,

738
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: and I would have liked to have met both of them.

739
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: I never did. Maybe him both together in the same room,

740
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: that'd be cool, because they had they did, they did

741
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: those interviews together. There were more timeless interview Yeah, yeah,

742
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: pretty yeah. I didn't care that much about Howard coach. Hell,

743
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: when when Muhammad Ali passed away a couple of years ago,

744
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: we had Rex Ryan or net Rex Ryan. We had

745
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: Ed Reid come on the show and talk about a

746
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: famous incident where at practice once with the Ravens. Who

747
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: was the coach It might have been Harbought, might have

748
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: been his predecessor, what's his name, Bella. They brought in

749
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali. They talked to his team and he and

750
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: Ed Reid, who was a pretty formidable figure himself, as

751
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, he said, you could have knocked everybody over

752
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: with the pin. Everybody in the presence of Muhammad Ali

753
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: who had Parkinson's and was shaken and had trouble expressing

754
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: himself clearly, and ed Reid said, still, Muhammed Ali just

755
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: brought the place down. He came in after practice one

756
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: day and talked to the team, had some message from him,

757
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: and ed Reid talked about it like it was a

758
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: religious experience. It's Jay Harris. Do you remember that, our producer,

759
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: and you remember Muhammad Ali coming to the Ravens. Yeah,

760
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: it was amazing just to hear Edred talk about that.

761
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: I would have agree he was. There's there are countless

762
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: anecdotes about him, and you know how just what a

763
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: mega star, trans transcendental star he was. It was he

764
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: was way outside of sports, you know, in his in

765
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: the level of his celebrity. You know. Um, I remember

766
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: the story I heard from the guys that were in

767
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: the room. Were these promoters, these guys in New York City,

768
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: and they were having they were gonna he was gonna

769
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: fight somebody. I don't even know which fight it was,

770
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: and they said, I don't think we can get any

771
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: interest in this fight. You know, nobody's gonna want to

772
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: see it. And he goes he goes. He just he goes,

773
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, how about this. He gets up and he

774
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: walks outside into the street in New York City. And

775
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: you know how New York is murph right, I mean, yes,

776
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: people that guy get hit by a taxi. Nobody even

777
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: breaks stride, right, they just keep walking. Right. Muhammad Ali

778
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: goes out in the street and he stopped traffic. Yeah.

779
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: I could see the entire street, the cars, and it

780
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: was everybody stopped him promptly. It wasn't like one guy

781
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: stopped and held everybody up. People were out of their cars,

782
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 1: and you know, the people on the sidewalks why crossed

783
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: the street to come see him. It was amazing. That's

784
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: the kind of you know, presence that guy had, and

785
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: it was just transcendental. And that's kind of why he's

786
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: one of those guys that I you know, I wish

787
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: I would have had the opportunity to meet Ted Williams.

788
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: Do anything for you. No, I'll tell you what he

789
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: was not, you know, by all accounts, not a great guy,

790
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: not real friendly. All he cared about was hitting. He

791
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: was okay with his teammates, not good to the media,

792
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: and not like a really good with fans. You know,

793
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean the famous John Update story. You know, God's

794
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: don't answer letters. Ted Williams lasted bat, hit a home

795
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: run the Red Sox, small crowd at Fenway. This is

796
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: early sixties, Ted Williams last game. The crowd over and

797
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: over try to get Ted Williams come out and do

798
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: a hurt and call and he wouldn't do it, you know,

799
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: because gods don't answer letters. He was not a great guy,

800
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: but such a devotion to his craft of hitting. He

801
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: went on to be a manager. He was, of course

802
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: an amazing fisherman. They're just I've always been fascinated by

803
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: Ted Williams and how he made his career like that.

804
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: And then Joe de Magio too, who was very private person. Obviously,

805
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: I think he that movie last night, that the Ken

806
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: Burns documentary, which I've seen before. But the thirties and

807
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: forties baseball, and the next one will be fifties and

808
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: mostly about New York, you know, the Dodgers and Giants

809
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 1: and Yankees. Nominating the fifties. You think about this, Murph,

810
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: how different the world was in the thirties and forties

811
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: than it is today. How completely different I mean, there

812
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: are you know, if you were a guy and a

813
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: baseball player. Back then that was the sport. There was

814
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: no football. It was football, but it wasn't like baseball

815
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: was the eight hundred pound gorilla, right, And how everything

816
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: that you learned about those guys was through the newspapers. Yeah, right,

817
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: there's no teeth either, And you just found out these guys,

818
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: who's this guy's name is Joe Demon looking at and

819
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: and you just heard stories and they'd write stories on

820
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: and then you'd have to read it or listen to

821
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: the game on the radio and hear the announcers say

822
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: about it. Everything every bit or scrap of information you

823
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: had was about these guys. Made him seem almost mythical

824
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: because you didn't hear that about anybody else, you know

825
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: what I mean, you know, a very different world. The

826
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: baseball author Robert Kramer was talking about Demajo and last

827
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: night's showed out with nineteen forty one and Demajo's fifty

828
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: six game hitting streak, right, you're aware of that, right,

829
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: And how the whole country caught on in an age

830
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 1: before a TV and really before well before the internet.

831
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: But he was talking about how he was in a

832
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: you'd go to a diner out in Montana like in

833
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: the morning and everybody had the same thing. Did he

834
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: get one last night? Did he get one last night?

835
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean the whole country was talking about it, and

836
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: because they had to check with their friends, did Joe

837
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: Demonjo get a hit last night? That's all? It was

838
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: just amazing. You think about it now, that that game

839
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: would be switched to a national network and they would

840
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: show it. You know what, they would show it. They

841
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: would break into TV shows to show his app bat yep,

842
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: you know these days. I mean they did a couple

843
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: of months ago with the Vetchkins. What his his milestone

844
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: goal up? Whatever? You head? I don't know anyway. So

845
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: enough of that, We're gonna take a break and get

00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: other places. So you know, I would think I was

908
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: reading about this and thinking about celebrities, big money people, actors,

909
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: maybe some athletes. I think a lot of them have

910
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 1: gone to resorts, right, maybe just gone to a place

911
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: somewhere where they're not surrounded by any people and found

912
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: a boy knocky, contaminated and waiting out there money not

913
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: a factor. That'd kind of be a good way to

914
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: do it. Steve, I don't know, how are you gonna

915
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: eat well room service constantly or what? Yeah, yeah, you

916
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: gotta trust the hotel. I mean, what do you take

917
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: out from restaurants? I mean people are reading take out

918
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: from restaurants all the way. Yeah, I get it, they

919
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: have money, no object. I guess you can go down

920
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: and sit on a on the balcony of your bungalow

921
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: or whatever at a resort. Yeah, that'd be kind of cool. Yeah.

922
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: Another one from the tweet sheet. As we asked our

923
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: listeners today, who which Bill's player passed or former would

924
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 1: you like to be quarantined with? Jack says for a

925
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: former player, I'd picked Thurman just to hear all his

926
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: celebrity stories, but would have to consider fred Smerlis. That

927
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: dude is amazing, current player is tough. Josh Allen seems

928
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,439
Speaker 1: like a great kid. People say he's hilarious. But Trey

929
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: White is pure entertainment. Need his distraction. Those are four

930
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: good names. Thurman, fred Smerlas, Josh Allen, and Tredavious White.

931
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: I'd take any one of them. I don't know if

932
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: I want to be sequestered with him, but I'd hang

933
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: with them for a little while. Yeah, there are a

934
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: lot of fun but all those guys and Freddy I've

935
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: hung with a ton so uh and Therm two. Yeah,

936
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: they're they. I think I could make it through with

937
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys. Yeah, I can make it through.

938
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: Do you think you're something just making it through? Do

939
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: you think Thurman might get a little um? How does

940
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: he get? You know? He yes, yes, you know what

941
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: do you think? Oh? Yeah, he ain't gonna any more

942
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: crusty than me. I mean, you know, plus with if

943
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: pretty it's different for me too, that because I know

944
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: him and you know he try get crusty with me,

945
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: I won't have it, of course. It's it's the reverse

946
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: is true as well. So I you know, but it

947
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: would be fun. I mean, you're gonna be if you're

948
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: gonna be sequestered with somebody, that that's the thing. Even

949
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: through the ups and downs, you gotta you kind of

950
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: hang in there, you know. And I know that, and

951
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: I know those both those got fred and Thurman. I

952
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: don't know Freddie Jackson as well, but you know those guys,

953
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: you feel like you could grind through the hard times

954
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: with him. You know, I agree, that's nobody's perfect, right,

955
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 1: and you'd have to have to cut him some slack

956
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: no matter who it is. Yeah, all right, that's the trick.

957
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: All right. We got a break here. When we come back,

958
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,520

1014
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: think my daughter likes not having to go to school

1015
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: every day. We do try and set up a bad

1016
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: school where she does some work and then I get

1017
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: her outside and become her a gym teacher for the day.

1018
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: And you know, it's been fun though, because you know,

00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: you get a chance every day now, Like we go

1020

1021
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: We feel the physbee around. It's good to have that

1022
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: much daddy daughter time. It's not I losing the way

1023
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: you want to set it up. But you know, as

1024
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: far as silver linings go, it's a pretty bright silver one,

1025
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, Dan. I've heard people say that when this

1026
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: is over, whenever it is like what you just said,

1027
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: hanging out with you, how old is your daughter to

1028
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: a grade school age? I would imagine right she's twelve,

1029
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: she's in seventh grade. I've heard people say that things

1030
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: will change as far as relationship between parents and children

1031
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: when this is over. Do you think that'll be the case, Yeah,

1032
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: I think so. I think you know, there's an opportunity

1033
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: here for you know, people to reconnect potentially, but you know,

1034
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: just just for us here, you know, it's just nice

1035
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: to be able to take an era of life, you know,

1036
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: especially my daughter. She's getting to the age now where

1037
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: she's quick transitioning from I want to hang out with

1038
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: dad too. I want to hang out with anybody but Dad,

1039
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: and to have a chance to you know, spend this

1040
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: much time and and you know, connect on different things.

1041
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: And I've introduced her to shows that I used to

1042
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: watch growing up that we can find on YouTube. Now

1043
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: we're inventing, I mean, all the things that you want

1044
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: to say you have time for now you do have

1045
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: time for it, and you know, and you know, being

1046
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: able to give avantage of that has been again one

1047
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: of the silver linings of this. Yeah, one of the

1048
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: things that's happening as well. People are you know, people

1049
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: around the league are starting to get on board with

1050
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: kind of giving back and helping out the greater cause

1051
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean did that and he's got this contest going

1052
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: where there's a bunch of stuff that he's given away.

1053
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,000

1056
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: which one would your daughter want to do? Does she

1057
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: have any interest in some of the prizes that Brandon

1058
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: Bean's given away for the his relief of the COVID

1059
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: nineteen efforts. If it was me, give me, give me

1060
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: Brandon being at lunch for a while. Actually give me

1061
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: Brandon being at this. I'd love to just stand next

1062
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: to him and you know, pick the brain and listen

1063
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: to a you know how a true professional NFL personnel guy,

1064
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, looks at a practice, what he's looking at,

1065
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,919
Speaker 1: what he's watching. I think my daughter would probably prefer

1066
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: the tickets to the game, though I think she likes

1067
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: the big game experience. She's not as mush into football.

1068
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: So the idea of calling in a draft pick or

1069
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, going out to lunch with Brandon Bean wouldn't

1070
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: be as exciting. But I'll tell you what, for the fans,

1071
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: I love this contest because Brandon Bean is such the

1072
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: perfect guy for this. He's gonna be fantastic personable, you know,

1073
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: give everybody a laugh, have a you know, be able

1074
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: to connect with everybody. He's so good at that. He's

1075
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: such a great, you know, people person and I think

1076
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: it makes you know, it's part of what he why

1077
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: he's successful as a GM. And I guarantee the bills

1078
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: fans that win, you know, the opportunity to go to lunch,

1079
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: to the sheriff practice, to hang out with him. I

1080
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: don't know why they didn't put a round of golf

1081
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: with Brandon being in the prizes. Maybe next time around

1082
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: they could try that, because that'd be awesome too. But

1083
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: everybody who wins those prizes is going to be, you know,

1084
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: very very happy with having the chance to hang out

1085
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: with him. That's the one I picked two to stand

1086
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: next to Brandon and practice. You know, Steve and I

1087
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: watch a little practice, watch bits of it, but to

1088
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: spend an entire practice with him and get hopefully unvarnished

1089
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: realism about what he thinks about this player or that player,

1090
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: this play and that play. I think that'd be that'd

1091
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: be worth its weight in gold. That's the one I

1092
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: would pick as well. Then. I don't think you'll get unvarnished,

1093
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: but I will take partially varnished and be very happy

1094
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: with that. I think it'd be a great time. And

1095
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: you're right, you know, it's you know, we talk about it,

1096
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: and Steve knows better than you and I do, obviously

1097
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: being in the game. But you know, as much as

1098
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: you and I have been around football, and as much

1099
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 1: as we've you know, knowledge as we've gained, it's still

1100
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: just a sliver of what these guys think about and

1101
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: understand and recognize. You know. It's one thing for you know,

1102
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: me and John to go back and watch film fifteen

1103
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: times and they call, oh, yeah, that that's what they

1104
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: were trying to do there, whereas a guy like Brandon's

1105
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: probably gonna be able to watch it in a practice

1106
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: or just watch it one say oh yeah, they're doing this,

1107
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 1: this and this, And that's the part that fascinates me

1108
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: to just there's so many layers with this game, and

1109
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 1: so many different ways of things fit together. To see

1110
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: a guy of you know now as his ability and

1111
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: his success already in his job and see him take

1112
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: it apart, I can't imagine a better way to spend

1113
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: a couple hours. One of the things that happened last

1114
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: week was Brandon being came out and kind of made

1115
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: himself available to the media. What was your biggest takeaway

1116
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: from all the information that Brandon being divulged last week?

1117
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: He had a lot of tie, gave the media a

1118
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: lot of time last week, and what was your biggest

1119
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 1: takeaway from everything that he said? Well, the first takeaway

1120
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: was I was just blown away about how much time

1121
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: we got and couldn't been more attitiative. I mean over

1122
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: an hour. It is fantastic. But to me, you know,

1123
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: all the football stuff he talked about, the thing, I

1124
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: come away with it, and I talk to people about

1125
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: this all the time. You know, we see these football

1126
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: players and coaches and gms is high and mighty and

1127
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: you know, pieces and things that you put on your

1128
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: fantasy team. But over way over ninety percent of them

1129
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: are just regular people like me and you and hear

1130
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: Brandon mean talk about the fact that you know, he

1131
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: needs to get out. He took a two hour walk,

1132
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, about a week before he talked to us

1133
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: and returned phone calls and talked about how much you

1134
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: know that kind of relaxed him and refreshed him a

1135
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: little bit. Now he's walking all the time. And the

1136
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: fact that he appreciates spending time with his family. He

1137
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: joked that, you know, his sons are in high school.

1138
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: He's had more dinner time with them in the last

1139
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: week and a half and he's had probably their entire lives.

1140
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,479
Speaker 1: You know, these are just regular people who are trying

1141
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: to get through this the same as you and me.

1142
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: Yet you know, they have jobs that are in the

1143
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: public eye and they make a whole lot more money

1144
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: than most of the rest of us. But you know,

1145
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: they're in the same boat as everybody else when it

1146
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: comes to fighting this virus and dealing with this virus.

1147
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: And you know, and to hear how you know, someone

1148
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: like him who was under immense pressure this time of

1149
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: year to be able to, you know, figure out a

1150
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: way to kind of get to a happy place, for

1151
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: lack of a better term, I think was the thing

1152
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: that I will stuck with me the most. We're on

1153
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: the line with Ted Brown sports director w R OCTV

1154
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: in Rochester. Ted talking to Brandon last week, I was,

1155
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: I was fascinated by how much detail he provided about

1156
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: the Stephan Diggs trade and how much consideration went into

1157
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: it in a very short time, maybe just a couple

1158
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: of hours, although he did admit they talked to the

1159
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: Vikings about acquiring Diggs even way back to last year.

1160
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 1: I was, I was interested in how quickly it came

1161
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: together because obviously, you know, he admitted that the Bills

1162
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: had interested in the receiver and kind of checked with

1163
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: the Vikings before the trade. Deadline last year. And then

1164
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, basically on the Monday of the first day

1165
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: of a free agency, you know, after Diggs puts out

1166
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: that tweet that kind of gave everybody to hint that

1167
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: maybe he wasn't happy there, he puts a call in,

1168
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of work some things out. They

1169
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: circle back later that night. In a half our Laird's done.

1170
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: You know. You sometimes you think that, you know, maybe

1171
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: those kind of trades take days and you know, weeks

1172
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: of haggling. And obviously it wasn't like Brandon being just

1173
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: thought of this, you know, a couple weeks ago. This

1174
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: was something he had been at least putting in the

1175
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: minds of the Vikings for a while. But to have it,

1176
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, basically come together in six seven hours, I think,

1177
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, more trades and more of these deals probably

1178
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: happened that way than than we would think. And you know,

1179
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: a great deal for the Bills. You know, it was

1180
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: exactly the guy they needed, and it was fun for

1181
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: for being certainly to take us behind the curtain a

1182
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: little bit. With that. You've wrote an article a little

1183
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: while back that about the compensation picks, the Brandon being

1184
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: you talk about, you know, how much time he's gotten,

1185
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: how many things are on his play most people, you

1186
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,959
Speaker 1: get to the compensation picks for when you lose people

1187
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: to the free agent market, and how that affects some

1188
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 1: teams and and some guys you know, kind of spend

1189
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: their time preoccupied with that. Tell us what you think

1190
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: about Brandon Bean and his philosophy about compensation picks. Well,

1191
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Bean would love to have, you know,

1192
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: obviously get to his roster to a point where he can,

1193
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, gain compensation picks, so he has enough young talent,

1194
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: but he can let free agents walk and not sign

1195
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: others in his place in its place to you know,

1196
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: end up with compensation picks at the end of the day.

1197
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: But what I noticed with Brandon this kind of started

1198
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: with almost a joke of a tweet when he signed

1199
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams. I tweeted out, you know, some time in

1200
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: late August, Brandon Bean's gonna trade either Daryl Williams or

1201
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: Tie and Sky for a draft pick, because he had

1202
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: done that the year before with Whyatt Teller and Russell Bodin. Well,

1203
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: I looked into it a little more, and you know,

1204
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: there is quite a market for draft picks in that preseason,

1205
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: in that August time of year, and every year there's

1206
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: about fifty twenty trades where a team will essentially sell

1207
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: off a piece for a draft pick. Now they're not

1208
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: high draft picks most of the time, they're five sixes

1209
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: and sevens, but you know, they're still picks. And as

1210
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: it turns out, the only GM in the NFL who's

1211
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: been able to do this each of the last three

1212
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: years is Brandon Bean. Bean has done it four times.

1213
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: Only the Browns have done it more. But beans haul

1214
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: from those four trades of four two fives and two

1215
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: sixes is much higher than what the Browns have gotten.

1216
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: So essentially, when it comes to the August preseason pick market,

1217
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: Brandon bed is the best at it and it's been,

1218
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, incredibly fruitquick with the Bills they've gotten those

1219
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: five picks, and those picks have been used you to

1220
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: acquire bigger name players. Need to think one of the

1221
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: picks went in the trade up to get Cody Ford,

1222
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: another of the picks went in the trade up to

1223
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: get Dawson Knox, and at least one of the picks

1224
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a hundred percent concrete assessment of what

1225
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: the Diggs trade was, but I'm pretty sure at least

1226
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: one of those picks was in the Diggs trade too,

1227
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: So you know, he is not only gaining the Bills

1228
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: picks in a way that most people don't talk about.

1229
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: He's using it to bring in eyes, were starters, and

1230
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: maybe even potential stars. See if you agree with this,

1231
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: because Steve and I have been talking about how there's

1232
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: another way that Brandon Being is. I'm not saying these

1233
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: revolutionizing the GM role in the NFL, but I think

1234
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Being and the Bills have done a great job of

1235
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: taking their time and free agency and signing players to

1236
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: short term contracts one maybe two years. I think it's

1237
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: a league wide trend, but I think the Bills are

1238
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 1: at the forefront of that trend. There's a lot of

1239
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: reasons for it. Being talked to us about it last week.

1240
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: It's obviously a player, you know, betting on he'll be

1241
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: able to cash in big the next year, and teams

1242
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: not wanting to commit. But they seem to be doing

1243
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: that more than most other teams are doing now, and

1244
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: maybe more than most teams have ever done it in

1245
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: the past. I mean the free agents to one and

1246
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: two year contracts, I think you're right. I think it

1247
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: is a league wide trend, and I think part of

1248
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: that is because I think this year, a lot of

1249
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: players and agents are waiting to see what the new

1250
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: TV contract will be, Like most people anticipate that'll result

1251
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: in a pretty big cap increase, So it doesn't really

1252
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: behoove you to lock into contracts and salaries for twenty

1253
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty twenty three, you know, when there's probably

1254
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: a pretty sizable golden egg at the end of that

1255
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: rainbow somewhere so or a pot of gold the end

1256
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: of that rainbow. So I think that's why the trend

1257
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: is that way league wide. But you're right, Brandon Bean

1258
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: does it, you know, I would think more often than

1259
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 1: most gms. And I think part of it is too.

1260
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: When he came to Buffalo, he talked about having to

1261
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, clean out the cap and fix that and

1262
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: kind of the bullet they had to bite in twenty

1263
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: eighteen with all the dead money. I don't think Brandon

1264
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Bean ever wants to take this franchise back to that spot,

1265
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,439
Speaker 1: you know, and I think he will do almost whatever

1266
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: it takes to make sure that doesn't happen. And that

1267
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: means you know, limiting yourself to signing one and two

1268
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: year deals or two year deals that you can get

1269
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: out of after one year. I think he feels like

1270
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: in the long term play, it's worth it because it

1271
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: still gives you cap flexibility. I mean, you think about

1272
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: they signed what like seventy five or one hundred and

1273
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: five free agents last year, whatever it was, and this

1274
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: year they still came in with the third or fourth

1275
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: most cap boop. If you can go into that situation

1276
01:01:56,280 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: every year, it makes you incredibly gives you a credible

1277
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: advantage when it comes to free agency and how you

1278
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: build your roster because you have flexibility in a lot

1279
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: of different ways. So I think you know, Brandon bean

1280
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: is gonna say, I'm not going to value any one

1281
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: free agent more than I am the flexibility to do

1282
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: whatever the heck I want to every offseason. We've mentioned

1283
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: a couple of times in our conversation. I guess let's

1284
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: just ask a direct question about it. What do you

1285
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,959
Speaker 1: think about the Steph Diggs trade. The only pushback we've

1286
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: heard from people around the country is that they think

1287
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: the Bills gave up way too much to get him.

1288
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that's true because They've got him to

1289
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: a four year contract at eleven million dollars a year,

1290
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: which is not much for a wide receiver who may

1291
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: be in the top five in the league. First of all,

1292
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: I thought they did overpay. Like if you put the

1293
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: two sides of the trade on the table and say

1294
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs versus the four picks the Bills gave up.

1295
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: I think the four picks are worth more. But I

1296
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: think Brandon Bean did a great job getting his team

1297
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: into a position to be able to afford to overpay.

1298
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: And it's not like this hurt the Bill. They still have,

1299
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, basically a full drafts first round pick and

1300
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: what they gained even by overpaying, and Diggs was exactly

1301
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: the thing this offense needed, a legit, top flight, number

1302
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: one due all receiver and Diggs is exactly that. So yeah,

1303
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: did they overpay? Sure? Yeah, I will say that I'm

1304
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: a little concerned that Diggs probably is not going to

1305
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: be willing to play out the four years of this contract.

1306
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: And you know, this is just a read from Afar.

1307
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: But again, go back to what I just said about

1308
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: you know what the direction of the salary cap is

1309
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: going to be. It's very possible you get to the

1310
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: maybe not next offseason, but the off season after that,

1311
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Stepan A. Diggs started looking around and what the contracts

1312
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,439
Speaker 1: receivers are signing, and they might be fifteen twenty million

1313
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: per year in a lot of different places. I think

1314
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: he might end up being, you know, in a position

1315
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: where he wants to renegotiate something. But you know, regardless,

1316
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I think certainly it's a chance worth taking. The contract

1317
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: is fantastic for now, and he's not going to complain

1318
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: this year, and this year the Bills are going to

1319
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: really really good spot offensively when it comes to the

1320
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: pieces around Josh Allen that I think the contract and

1321
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: the fact that it was a contract that was just

1322
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: executed a year ago. I think that's what made him

1323
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: in the track if trade target. He could come back,

1324
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: I guess after this year and ask for a renegotiation.

1325
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: But the Bills can say, hey, you just got a

1326
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 1: new contract two years ago. Sit tight for a while,

1327
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: can't They say that they can? But then you'd ever

1328
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: know if if you know Stefan remember Stepan Diggs has

1329
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: some seemingly deva tendencies here, So you don't know if

1330
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: you're the team and you hold fast to that, whether

1331
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: it causes you a longer term problem. You know, we're look,

1332
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: we're speculating about at minimum twelve months down the road

1333
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: for this year's Stepan Diggs is you know, in good shape,

1334
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: and this offense is much better for it. And you know, look,

1335
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: no trade is perfect. I mean, you know, Brandon Bean's

1336
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: not going to offer a seventh round pick and get

1337
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. So any trade above that is going to

1338
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 1: have some questions to it. And there are some here,

1339
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: and yeah, did they give up a lot? Sure? Is

1340
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 1: there a question about what kind of good you know, uh,

1341
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: if Stevan's gonna be on his best behavior. Sure, But

1342
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: those questions and those risks are so small compared to

1343
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: the reward, it's really a no brainer of a trade.

1344
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 1: Even if I will stand by the fact I think

1345
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: the bill is overpaid. One of the things about it.

1346
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: And here's the reason I don't know that they overpaid

1347
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: or not. He and I disagree because for this reason,

1348
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs and the stuff that I've read and the

1349
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: stuff that I've seen is as every bit the receiver

1350
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: with anybody else out there is. He's an elite wide receiver.

1351
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: He gets separation. He can do a lot of things.

1352
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: He's versatile, runs great routes. And you've just got a

1353
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: guy in Dallas who signed a five year, twenty million

1354
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: dollars a year contract. You're getting a guy, in my opinion, who,

1355
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: if not just comparable to Amari Cooper, Steph Diggs may

1356
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 1: be superior in a couple of areas Tomari Cooper. And

1357
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: you've got nine million dollars back in your pocket for

1358
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: the next four years. So to me, the fact that

1359
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs I think is underpaid for four more years

1360
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: that makes this deal do well. And certainly things could

1361
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: change in the middle. He could come back and say, hey,

1362
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:53,959
Speaker 1: I want to deal or whatever, but he's certainly gonna

1363
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: have to play well to make those demands. If he

1364
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: doesn't play well, you don't want him anyway, you hey

1365
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: hold out. But if he does play well, he's still

1366
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: you could sign him to a four million dollar a

1367
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: year raised and he's still undermarket. I think that. And

1368
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: plus in a year where the Bills are not refurbishing

1369
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: their entire roster like they did a year ago on

1370
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, this is a year,

1371
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: particularly in the current virtual draft scenario, you don't want

1372
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: to have too many of your future draft picks and

1373
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: maybe future foundational building blocks come up for a draft

1374
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: in a year when you can't even talk to him.

1375
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: So in a year where you want to kind of

1376
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: lay out of the draft, this is the perfect year

1377
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: to trade for a guy like Steph Diggs who's undervalued

1378
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: on the money side of it, with draft picks, who

1379
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 1: may not be able to make your team even if

1380
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: you pick the best guys available. So for me, that's

1381
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: the reason that the step Digs trade makes a lot

1382
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: of sense for the Buffalo Bills. Oh, I agree, it

1383
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense, you know, and I look

1384
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: at it a couple different ways. Number One, you know,

1385
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: when you talk about whether or not the Bills overpaid,

1386
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: Amara Cooper was traded for a first rounders straight up. Obviously,

1387
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: the Hopkins trade we all think is kind of an outlier.

1388
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: But still you know that DeAndre Hopkins was grabbed for

1389
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: a second and a fourth and a bad contract. So

1390
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: for the Bills, the layout of first plus three more

1391
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: picks relative to the market, that seems like an overpay.

1392
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: But look, if I have a billion dollars and I

1393
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: spent a million on a yacht, it's only worth eight

1394
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dis inbocare you know. I mean, that's that's

1395
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: kind of the spot the Bills were in. You know,

1396
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: they had given themselves, they had accumulated enough assets to

1397
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: where it was fine to overpay, and they for this guy,

1398
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: it was well worth it for them. I don't want

1399
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: to say to pay any price, but you know, this

1400
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: was to me the lynchpin piece for this offense, for

1401
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: the supporting cast around Josh Allen, and if Brandon Meat

1402
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: had to overpay for it, then overpaying is the right move.

1403
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: You know, just because the overpay doesn't mean it's wrong.

1404
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 1: I think it makes a lot of sense. But relative

1405
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,919
Speaker 1: to the market, relative to you know, what other teams

1406
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: were giving up for top butt receivers, and I think

1407
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: Diggs is, you know, easily in the conversation in the

1408
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 1: top tier, maybe you know, just below Michael Thomas or

1409
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: a guy like that, but certainly close to the top five,

1410
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: not higher than that. So it was worth it to me.

1411
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: But I think when you know, again, if you put

1412
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 1: us Stefon Diggs in your left hand and the four

1413
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: picks the Bills are traded in the right hand, I

1414
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: think the right hand weighs a little heavier live with

1415
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: the Than Brown sports director w r OCTV and Rochester

1416
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: Bill's preseason sideline reporter, Hey Than, It's not all Stefan

1417
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: Diggs and Bills had nine free agent signing, seven on defense.

1418
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: They resigned for their own a lot of those moves.

1419
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: Which do you think is the one that's kind of

1420
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 1: under the radar, which might have the biggest impact that's

1421
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: not been talked about him as much? Do you think?

1422
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: I think it's Clinton Jefferson. I love that signing. This

1423
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: is a guy as a defensive end and can get pressure.

1424
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: He can do with different things where you can play

1425
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 1: at the tackle spot too. He's versatile. And you think

1426
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: about the way that Sean McDermott constructs his defense, especially

1427
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: on passing downs, on pass rushdowns, He's not afraid to

1428
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: play a guy at a little different spot. How many

1429
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: times do we see Lorenzo Alexander's standing up at a

1430
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: three tech er defensive tackle as part of a pass

1431
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: rush crew because he was among the top four best

1432
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: pass rusher down the team. You think about what the

1433
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: Bills will probably do this year in a passing down.

1434
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 1: You're gonna see Jerry Hughes, You're gonna see Ed Oliver,

1435
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: You're gonna see Mario Addison. So who's the fourth guy. Well,

1436
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,600
Speaker 1: if you want to make Quinton Jefferson a tackle and

1437
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,560
Speaker 1: have him rush from there, you can. And if you

1438
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 1: want to put Mario Addison inside because he did a

1439
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 1: little of that last year in Carolina too, you can

1440
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,560
Speaker 1: put Jefferson on the outside and let him play in

1441
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,560
Speaker 1: so to pick up a pass rusher with ability, you know,

1442
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: this is the guy that was won a high percentage

1443
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: of one on one pass rush reps last year, and

1444
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: have him be able to move in different spots and

1445
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 1: you can change things up. You can move a guy

1446
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: like Mario Addison around. He even moved Jerry Hughes around

1447
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: if you want. There's so many things that Sean McDermott

1448
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: can and will be able to do with that. I

1449
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 1: don't think you can overrate the impact he could potentially have.

1450
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: I love that was my favor. I don't know if

1451
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 1: it's the best signing because Mario Addison's probably that, But

1452
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: in terms of the way this defense works and the

1453
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: fun I'm gonna have watching this on film later on,

1454
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 1: Clinton Jefferson's the guy like the best. Well, if the

1455
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,719
Speaker 1: defense stays as good as it was this past season

1456
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: or even improves, and Josh Allen has another weapon on

1457
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: the outsid side, and Steph Diggs a guy at the

1458
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: top of the wide receivering depth chart at not the bottom.

1459
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Have the expectations been risen above a level where you

1460
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 1: think Josh Allens could meet them. It's a great question.

1461
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, there's no doubt that Josh Allen needs to

1462
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: have a good year, you know, not just a year

1463
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: like he had last year where he was decent and

1464
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:22,560
Speaker 1: did some good things and was up and down a

1465
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: little bit and solve some problems but still had some

1466
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 1: other ones. You know, he needs to look like a

1467
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: bona fide franchise quarterback. He doesn't have to be one

1468
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: of the best in the league. But there's really no

1469
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: excuses for him this year. You know that they've got

1470
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: maybe the best top three receiving corps in the league.

1471
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 1: You've got a tight end in Dawson Knox, who we think,

1472
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, can be a plus there. We think the

1473
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: offensive line is already a plus, or at least I

1474
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: thought it was last year. And they bring all five

1475
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: guys backs and no changes at all. If the Bills

1476
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: don't want to same coaching staff, same system. There's really

1477
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: no excuse for Josh Allen this year. He's got to

1478
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: be a legit again, not necessarily top flight, but certainly

1479
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: a legit franchise quarterback. And you know, we gotta know

1480
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: that eight or ten games in, and you know, there

1481
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: is a decent amount of pressure on Josh Allen this year.

1482
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: He took such a big jump last year. I don't

1483
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: think you could put it past him take another big

1484
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: one this year. But you know, going from year one

1485
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: where it was the year two is the easy jump.

1486
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 1: The next jumps, I think are the harder ones. And

1487
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't have to take the same sizeable jump.

1488
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 1: If he can maybe go do half of what he

1489
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: did year one to year two, that might be enough.

1490
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: But you know, there needs to be results of this

1491
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: team this year. And it's not like the AFC is stacked.

1492
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 1: You know, this is outside of Kansas City, in Baltimore.

1493
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 1: There's no reason you can't put Buffalo, you know, as

1494
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 1: likely the third best team in the conference. So this

1495
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: is a situation where the Bills can't just make the playoffs.

1496
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: They can't just you know, go nine and seven and

1497
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:40,680
Speaker 1: slide in his wildcard number seven. This year, they got

1498
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, look like a team

1499
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: that's competitive and a contender. And I don't think that's unreasonable.

1500
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think it's anything wrong to think

1501
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 1: the Bills could, you know, be a two or even

1502
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: a one seed this year and you know, win a

1503
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 1: playoff game, if not more so. A lot of it

1504
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: will hinge on Josh Allen, but I don't think it's

1505
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: wrong to have the expectations pretty high. This year it's dead,

1506
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: but the addition of all those players, there's Stefan Diggs

1507
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: and the free agents, what does that do to the

1508
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: Bill's draft strategy? Is there a position you think they

1509
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: should focus on in the draft in two and a

1510
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 1: half weeks. I think this is going to be one

1511
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: of the easiest drafts of Brandon Bean's life. I think

1512
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 1: you go to the draft board every time your pick

1513
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,640
Speaker 1: comes up, whoever the highest guy you have left, or

1514
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: whoever the highest guy on your board is left, and

1515
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 1: that's the guy you take every time. It almost I mean,

1516
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: I thought about it from the other point of view yesterday.

1517
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 1: What position could the Bills not draft at? I mean,

1518
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: we know they could use a corner obviously a second

1519
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: running back. Offensive line never hurts, you can never have.

1520
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 1: You know, they probably could draft a depth safety or linebacker.

1521
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 1: They rotate so many defensive lineman you can go there.

1522
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: You could theoretically get better at backup quarterback if you

1523
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: wanted to tight end might be tight but you know,

1524
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: if you want to replace Lee Smith, you could. About

1525
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: the only position I think the Bills should avoid is center.

1526
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 1: You know, because you got Mitch Morrison. There's really no

1527
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: reason to have a backup unless you have a guy

1528
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: who can play guard too. I mean the Bills could

1529
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: even hit you know, punter and maybe less so, but

1530
01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, kicker if they wanted to. So if I'm Brandon,

1531
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean Brandon Bean's at home, I'm not even sure

1532
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 1: I get dressed up for this. I put a bathrob on.

1533
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: You know how we all do the fanacy drafts. We

1534
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 1: pre rank our guys. Well, Brandon Been's got his pre rank.

1535
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: Every time his pick comes up, he just goes to

1536
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: the top, clicks that guy and you know goes on.

1537
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 1: There's really well we're talking about the draft, and this

1538
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: year there's a couple of Rochester products that you know

1539
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 1: had virtual Pro days, there any of the guys who

1540
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: grew up in the Rochester area that we can look

1541
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: for for being drafted the NFL this year. Who do

1542
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: you think? Well, Ernest Edwards had had a really good

1543
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: Pro Day, and I do want to say, you know,

1544
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: here in Rochester, this is the first time we had,

1545
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, this, this Rochester Pro Day, and I hope

1546
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,640
Speaker 1: it's an idea that continues, because there's been you know,

1547
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: a pretty decent trickling and you know, getting to a

1548
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: turning the faucet on fully in terms of the amount

1549
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: of talent football wife's coming out of this city. Um,

1550
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: but Ernest Edwards from from Maine is the guy I'd

1551
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: look for if you're looking for a guy to follow.

1552
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 1: He ran a four four one forty at the Pro

1553
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: Day in Rochester, which would have been seventh best among

1554
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: receivers who were at the combine. And he was a

1555
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 1: dude all guy at Maine. He caught eleven touchdowns, he

1556
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 1: ran two back two kicks back for a touchdown last year,

1557
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 1: and he also passed for four touchdowns last year. So

1558
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a versatile guy that Sean

1559
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: McDermot might like, Ernest Edward certainly fits the Bill. You know,

1560
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: we've got another guy, Jared Urbino, who played quarterback in

1561
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: college both Division three at Brockport here in Rochester and

1562
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: at Dartmouth. He's gonna try to be a tight end

1563
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Very interesting story. They're a little Logan

1564
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 1: Thomas type thing there. So there's guys to watch for.

1565
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,680
Speaker 1: But Edwards putting up a four four one forty is

1566
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: the thing that gets your attention. And he's been a

1567
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: big play guy at Maine for a while and I'd

1568
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: be interested to see. I think he's gonna be a

1569
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: priority undrafted guy. I think, at least if he doesn't

1570
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 1: get into the draft. Hey, Ted, let me get you

1571
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: involved on our Twitter poll today. It's a Twitter question really,

1572
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of lighthearted. If you could be quarantined with

1573
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: one current or former Bills player, who would it be.

1574
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: You don't have to say Seem Tasko, though you'll get

1575
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: extra credit if you do well. We all know Steve

1576
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Taskers among everybody's top three in that. But you know

1577
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: I would I would probably go I'm gonna go with

1578
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 1: just the guys I covered, so going back twenty years,

1579
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 1: I'd go Marcellus Wiley, you know, and this is a

1580
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 1: guy that I always loved talking to. You know, always

1581
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 1: got a smile on his face, great stories, knew the

1582
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 1: game well, you know, people see him on TV, so

1583
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: he's still involved. You know, I think, you know, picking

1584
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: his brain would be a fun journey, if not interesting.

1585
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: There's there's a bunch of different guys who could put

1586
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: on that list. I mean, work in that build locker

1587
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 1: room for the last you know, eighteen twenty years or whatever.

1588
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:35,720
Speaker 1: There's been a whole lot more fun guys to talk

1589
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: to you than not. I mean, you know, Fred Jackson

1590
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: and obviously now Micah Hyde would be you know, guys

1591
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 1: you put on that list too. But to me, you know,

1592
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,560
Speaker 1: it's a tough call. But Marcellus Wiley will be a

1593
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 1: whole lot of fun. That's a good one. That's a

1594
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: good answer one. Yeah, he's thanks for this, Stay healthy

1595
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: and we hope to talk again sometime. Hey, you guys too, man,

1596
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 1: glad to you know, think about football hardcore for about

1597
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: thirty minutes there and chat with you guys for a while.

1598
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 1: All the best year. Families be safe and uh you

1599
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 1: hope we were playing football in a few months. Ope,

1600
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,719
Speaker 1: so too. Thank you, Dad, Dad Brown Sports The Ripper

1601
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: at w rc TV also does the preseason sideline report

1602
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 1: on the Bill's preseason games. Those games are so much fun, Steve.

1603
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 1: I hope we don't lose those. We could, but I

1604
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: hope we don't write No. Seriously, now, you forget how

1605
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,639
Speaker 1: awful those games are. Come on, I know the games

1606
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: aren't you know. I like the preparation and it does

1607
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: serve for me to get ready for a season to

1608
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: do a couple of preseason games. I like getting back

1609
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 1: into the routine of doing a spotting board during the

1610
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: week and thinking about who they're playing. And also when

1611
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: you do this too, when you're working the preseason games,

1612
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 1: you think about, all right, who does this game matter too?

1613
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 1: Who's this game important too? There's always on the Buffalo roster,

1614
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 1: there's always a dozen or more players that this game

1615
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: is really important. When you're playing preseason, yeah, it's it is,

1616
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 1: it's and for us, I mean, we followed the team closely,

1617
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: so by that time we're so ready to do some games.

1618
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: But let's not forget how bad that fourth preseason game is.

1619
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean, let's you know, let's let's I mean, I

1620
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: know we're starved for all this stuff going on, right

1621
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 1: now at this time of year, But I'm gonna be

1622
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: glad in twenty twenty one, when, if everything goes as planned,

1623
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna have three preseason games to the four. I

1624
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: won't complain. Hey, our Twitter question today if you could

1625
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: be quarantined with one current or former Buffalo Bills player,

1626
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: and it's only a player we're talking about. We've had

1627
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 1: a number of responses saying, Marv Levi, Marv Levy, that's

1628
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: a good one, but he's not a former player. One

1629
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: current reformer Bills player that you'd be quarantine with? Who

1630
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,200

1639
01:17:55,200 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: You think that's far enough away? Yeah? If I want

1640
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: you to move a little bit further to it, Yeah,

1641
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: we cannot count as being sequestered together or social distancing right.

1642
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 1: Social distancing, yes, but not quarantined together. And our question

1643
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 1: of the day, if you could be quarantined with one

1644

01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: love talking to Thad Brown. Guys like that, Brown guys

1648
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 1: who cover the Bills from outside the team. You and I,

1649
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: of course employed by the team and embedded in the team,

1650
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 1: fur their perspective. And you know what struck me when

1651
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: Dad said he was thinking about something the other day

1652
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 1: and I thought, that's what I do. Like in the

1653
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: middle of the day, just random thoughts about the Bills

1654
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 1: just popped into my head. It's nice to know I'm

1655
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 1: not the only one that falls vised into that. You

1656
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 1: do that, right? Oh? Yeah, everybody think of stuff? Yeah?

1657
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 1: Does everybody do that? You think Bills three? I think

1658
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: guess fans do that, right, No, maybe, I guess I

1659
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,719
Speaker 1: think most people do it about things other than football

1660
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 1: as well, not just not you know what I mean.

1661
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 1: We think about football and sometimes that's you know, that's

1662
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: all you can think about sometimes, but yeah, random thoughts. Sure, sure,

1663
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody did right. We're normal, right, I don't

1664
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 1: know a question I'm asking. That's the question I'm asking

1665
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 1: on line normal. Is it normal to think about who's

1666
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:12,679
Speaker 1: the backup strong safety in the middle of the afternoon?

1667
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:14,560
Speaker 1: I knew all the time. I don't know if not

1668
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: just that, but stuff like that all the time. I think, oh, year,

1669
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think about depth and all that. I think,

1670
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, what happens if what happens if somebody gets

1671
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: hurt and you know, creative stuff like that. What if

1672
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: they went, you know, four tight ends and went broken

1673
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 1: formation and spread the field, and what if they you know,

1674
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,759
Speaker 1: well all that stuff, you know, And that's what offenses

1675
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL have come a long way in the

1676
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: philosophy that they try and dictate matchups. Right, So you

1677
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: got a guy like, for instance, let's just go back

1678
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: a couple of years and say, okay, the tap Patriots

1679
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: got this guy Gronkowski. So what they do is they

1680
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 1: start lining him up. They get a feel for a

1681
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: team and what the team does against a certain formation,

1682
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 1: and they put Ronkowski wherever they want in that formation

1683
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:07,600
Speaker 1: so that he's lined up against some stiff, you know,

1684
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: so they dictate, they get this this Hall of Fame

1685
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 1: caliber tight end up against some guy who can't who

1686
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 1: couldn't cover his bed with the blanket, right, So that's

1687
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 1: what the NFL is about these days. You get your

1688
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: guys on the field and force the defense to either

1689
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,160
Speaker 1: give that guy some help and double team Gronkowski thereby,

1690
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 1: you know, freeing up Edelman or freeing up somebody else,

1691
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:32,600
Speaker 1: and you kind of dictate the way it goes. So

1692
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I think I'm you can tell I think about that

1693
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:41,600
Speaker 1: stuff randomly now, about creative ways these guys use to

1694
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 1: get the defense to do what they want it to do.

1695
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:47,600
Speaker 1: And to me, you gotta be a film junkie, and

1696
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: you gotta be an EXS and O's junkie, and you

1697
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: gotta be a terminology junkie. And you also have to

1698
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:54,600
Speaker 1: be on a staff that allows you to do that

1699
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: kind of stuff and have the freedom to do it

1700
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 1: in a court. You know, you gotta be at the

1701
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 1: coordinator level. Really, So it's lot of fun to think

1702
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: about that stuff. And I'd like and now with the bills,

1703
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 1: you put that in with Stefan Diggs, Devin Singletary, John Brown,

1704
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, and then what who Dawson knocks? Maybe yep,

1705
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 1: you know, and see think, Okay, what do we got here?

1706
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's pretty fun. It's pretty fun to think about.

1707
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: It could be fun. Our question of the day, we

1708
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: think it's fun. Which former or current Bill would you

1709
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: most like to be quarantine with. Here's an interesting response

1710
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 1: from Twitter from authentic Buffalonian. His response, Hal Garner long

1711
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 1: story short. I was hanging out at a bar in

1712
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo the stuff much from one Main Street. After the

1713
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 1: Bills won their second AFC championship. A couple of limos

1714
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 1: pulled up full of Bills players. Hal was one of them.

1715
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,679
Speaker 1: He sat down with us, bought drinks, and passed around

1716
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: his AFC championship ring. That's a good story. I can

1717
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: see why you'd think that Hal's great. He was on

1718
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: the team when I got here in eighty six, and

1719
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 1: he was there for the first couple of years I

1720
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,640
Speaker 1: was there. Yeah, he's great. Love that guy he was.

1721
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 1: Was he from out west somewhere Montana or Wyoming or something?

1722
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: Real roughneck dude. He's great. Yeah, Yeah, he was a

1723
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: good teammate. That's good. That's a good choice. It is

1724
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: hell Garnerds. You can talk about this Steve if you would.

1725
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 1: He seems like the type of guy who with his

1726
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 1: skill set, with his body type, he could play now.

1727
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's got kind of a long range, you know,

1728
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: kind of like a Matt Milano. Plus almost in terms

1729
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 1: of length, you can long arms, long legs, range, run

1730
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: around pretty well. Yeah, you can't coach length, you know.

1731
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 1: And he was a tall, lanky dude, and yeah he was.

1732
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: He was one of those guys that's yeah, And that's

1733
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 1: why I think, you know, given the right coaching and

1734
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: the right Yeah, he couldn't he couldn't play. He could

1735
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 1: play in this era for sure. Here's another one on

1736
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, Um, which former or corn Bill would play?

1737
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 1: Would you like? Could be a quarantine with posting up

1738
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: tweets in Milano? Poyer high one of them? Are all three?

1739
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: They just seem like my type of personality. Plus they'd

1740
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 1: each have a solid audible check in emergency situation. What

1741
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: does that mean? Okay, go for the wings. I mean

1742
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 1: we're kind of audible. Do you get in quarantine? You know?

1743
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: They have they have a Yeah, they have a plan

1751
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:31,719
Speaker 1: people saying Marv Levy, Now, he'd be all right, Steve.

1752
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: Although no, I'm not gonna say he'd be boring. He

1753
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 1: would be all right. You wouldn't be able to fool

1754

Speaker 1: around as much with Marv, though, would you or would you? Well,

1755
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 1: and listen, Marv is a great choice. Yeah, he's one

1756
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: of the top He's one of the top three. He's

1757
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: gonna I gotta. I'll just say he's the top five

1758
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 1: individuals I've ever met in my entire life, right, I mean,

1759
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 1: he's just one of those guys. Um. But you you know,

1760
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: it's a little bit like being in the presence of

1761
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: your girlfriend's dad, right, right, you know, like you gotta

1762
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: be on your best behavior. Right, So it's like, you know,

1763
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 1: going to pick your prom date up and the dad

1764
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: shows up at the door. That's how you feel when

1765
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: you're around. I mean I think would you wouldn't be

1766
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 1: able to just flick on the TV and sit there

1767
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: and just vege with Mark. You know, you you'd have

1768
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: to have conversation ready, You'd have to have good questions

1769
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: for him. I mean, he's he's a great source of information.

1770
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'd like talking to Mark about anything. But

1771
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be able to just sit there and vetch

1772
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: with Mark, would saying If you're a reader, that would

1773
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 1: be great because then you say, all right, Mark, let's

1774
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: let's get a book, let's read a book, and let's have,

1775
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, let's talk about the book. Then that would

1776
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 1: be something that would be fun. Except he would read

1777
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: the book in about two and a half hours and

1778
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 1: you'd take it'd take me two and a half weeks.

1779
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 1: But now, yeah, one of those that would be a

1780
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: fun exercise because he's because he's, uh, you know, one

1781
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,599
Speaker 1: of those guys that he's well read, right, Yeah, he's

1782
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: a conversationalist. So that would be fun for me because then,

1783
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, if you're sequestered, then you can kind of relax,

1784
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 1: sit around and read during the day and have good

1785
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 1: conversations over or whatever beverage of your choice that night.

1786
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,679
Speaker 1: That'd be pretty cool. It's a good one, Marvid be great. Yeah,

1787
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 1: he would, and there'd be no shortage of topics. I

1788
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: mean even his life, the stuff he's seen. And he

1789
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 1: not only sees stuff, he observes, you know what I mean.

1790
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 1: Like I've talked to him about baseball games he went

1791
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: to and he was eight years old, and he's an observer.

1792
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 1: He takes note of what he sees, right, and thinks

1793
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:33,800
Speaker 1: about what he sees. But not only that, he remembers everything. Yeah,

1794
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: and he can put like what happened today, I like

1795
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 1: at practice, he put that into context. Context was something

1796
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 1: he saw in nineteen sixty seven when he was, you know,

1797
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: an assistant coach with George you know what I mean.

1798
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: Is amazing that way and that and it gives what

1799
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: he says such a credibility, you know, and it's it's

1800
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 1: it just comes across so well. He's a great communicator.

1801
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Marv might be the best answer

1802
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 1: I've heard all day. We're gonna take your questions out

1803
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 1: the phone line in a moment or two. Which bills player,

1804
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 1: current or former would you most like to be quarantined with?

1805

1806
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 1: Blake says, if I must pick a former Bills player,

1810
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 1: to confuse with somebody else. It's been a long time.

1811
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: It's been a while since I've had a beer. I

1812

Speaker 1: gotta say, but not that I'm a verse to it. Yeah, right,

1823
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 1: you see the NFL Network is replaying like full sundays

1824
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: of their coverage and tomorrow on the show, Scott Hanson

1825
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 1: of NFL Network will join us talk about that, just

1826
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: get some observations on the NFL. Have yet to catch

1827
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 1: any of that though, and I was thinking about watching

1828
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: him a little bit last night. Uh you know the

1829
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 1: red zone how they play the whole day. Yeah, Yeah,

1830
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 1: here's the problem. There's all kinds of plays and touchdowns

1831
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 1: and scoring plays I don't care about, you know what

1832
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean. I don't know if I want to sit

1833
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 1: through that to get to get to the stuff I

1834
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 1: really care about. Yeah, it is there. It's like everything Murphy.

1835
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 1: It is different than it happens on game day because

1836
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: you kind of know the outcome for us. Think about it.

1837
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: You're watching, We're watching this even if it's this last season.

1838
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 1: You're watching the season where you got two teams you know,

1839
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 1: neither one of them is gonna make the playoffs, you know,

1840
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:54,680
Speaker 1: and you're watching them score right and then and the

1841
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: games and down or whatever. You're saying, Well, this game

1842
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. Who why do I care? Right? You

1843
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: got to sit through that. That's the thing. That's that's

1844
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: the only issue with it. You and I both talked about,

1845
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:06,560
Speaker 1: like on a live Sunday afternoon. There is nothing like

1846
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 1: red zone. I mean, it is one of a kind

1847
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 1: and that's why it's such a hit, and that's why

1848
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 1: they're bringing it back. But it's like everything these live

1849
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 1: sports Murph he got, it's got to be live. It

1850
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: can't beat these recorded things. It loses a lot of

1851
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 1: it loses a lot. It's amazing because even if it's

1852
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 1: a great game, it's like not the same. It's just

1853
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,600
Speaker 1: not the same, especially when you know the outcome. This

1854
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 1: came up speaking of sports on TV and it had

1855
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 1: it in the update top of the hour Hard Knocks

1856
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 1: HBO Hard Knocks talking about featuring both the Rams and

1857
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:40,679
Speaker 1: the Chargers this year. Now, keep in mind, if there's

1858
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: no training camp, they won't do a Hard Knocks, But

1859
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:44,799
Speaker 1: if there is a training camp, that'll be an interesting

1860
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,600
Speaker 1: one to do two teams. I mean, I'm kind of

1861
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: interested in both of those teams, both moving into a

1862
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:52,720
Speaker 1: new stadium which may or may not be ready. I

1863
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to happen. I kind of

1864
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 1: hope it does because I'm interested in especially the Chargers.

1865
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 1: I think they're a fascinating team, a potentially good team

1866
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 1: now without their leading quarterback, probably have a rookie quarterback

1867
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 1: there and the Rams, you know, coping with their losses

1868
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 1: due to a free agency and salary cap. I think

1869
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: that'd be a really good hard knocks if they can

1870
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 1: get it done. Yeah. Plus if they can get it done,

1871
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 1: if they if they get the stadium open, both those

1872
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 1: teams moving into the same stadium, and watching that happen,

1873
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 1: watch them walking in there for the first time and

1874
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 1: training camp and doing all that, I think that's it's

1875
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 1: really intriguing for the fact that both those clubs are

1876
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 1: opening up in the brand new venue that theoretically they

1877
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,599
Speaker 1: will be in for the you know, the next ten decades, right.

1878
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are going to be in this

1879
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:39,240
Speaker 1: building forever. So to be have hard knocks happen with

1880
01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:42,720
Speaker 1: two teams, it would be like the Jets, Giants, you know. Yeah,

1881
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 1: both those clubs are right in the same spot, and

1882
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 1: it'll be fun to see their preseason take shape in

1883
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,800
Speaker 1: and around the same facility. Be interesting to see if

1884
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,879
Speaker 1: they can pull that off, especially with the timing constrates

1885
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:57,599
Speaker 1: are underin to get that stadium done. The California Governor

1886
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: already said that he doesn't anticipate full stage mediums for

1887
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 1: a while August September, including so we'll see if they

1888
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 1: can get hard knocked on that hard knocks on that way,

1889
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:07,840
Speaker 1: if there is in fact a training camp. All right,

1890
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 1: our number three, we're going to talk more about who'd

1891
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:11,760
Speaker 1: you go into quarantine with, if you can choose a

1892
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 1: current or former Bills player. And when we come back

1893
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 1: and to talk with NFL network reporter Mike Giardi, contributor

Speaker 1: to NFL Total Access and NFL Game Day Morning, NFL

1895
01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 1: up to admitute got a variety of thoughts on the

1896
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 1: NFL how they're dealing with the coronavirus update. Talk with

1897
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:29,640
Speaker 1: Mike Giardi when we come back. Coming back for our

1898
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 1: number three, One Bills Live presented back a lot of

1899
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 1: health radio coverage only from our homes and this is

1900
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. The update comes from One Bills Live.

1901
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills and the rest of the NFL on

1902
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:50,479
Speaker 1: hold indefinitely. And word today that the Baltimore Ravens are

1903
01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 1: concerned about the NFL tech security. Ravens coach John Harbor

1904
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 1: word that sensitive team information is more vulnerable to getting

1905
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:01,919
Speaker 1: stolen because of the tech analogy, including the zoom meeting technique.

1906
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:05,200
Speaker 1: Teams are preparing to go viral or go virtual rather

1907
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 1: from playbooks to meetings and Hardball has texted the Ravens

1908
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:11,799
Speaker 1: information technology members when in saying that he is concerned

1909
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:14,120
Speaker 1: about the security teams might be able to hack him.

1910
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: Cam Newton says he feels like a fish out of

1911
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:17,920
Speaker 1: water being a free agent or the first time in

1912
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 1: his NFL career. Newton has no indication where he might

1913
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,439
Speaker 1: be interested in signing. Panter has replaced Newton already with

1914
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:26,720
Speaker 1: free agent Teddy Bridgewater, first time in his career that

1915
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 1: Cam Newton has been out there around the market. Antonio

1916
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,479
Speaker 1: Brown has hired veteran agent Ed Wazlowski of EMG Sports

1917
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 1: to represent him as he tries to return to the NFL.

1918
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:38,160
Speaker 1: The seven time Pro Bowl wide receiver free agent not

1919
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:40,240
Speaker 1: on the active roster for most of the last season.

1920
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 1: The Oakland Raiders parted with him after the preseason. He

1921
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 1: was active for just one game with New England for

1922
01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:48,479
Speaker 1: the first time. Hard Knocks is planning to feature two teams,

1923
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Chargers. No one else when planned

1924
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:53,840
Speaker 1: this week, but NFL Films would like to have both

1925
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 1: teams volunteer for Hard Knocks and would, in the words

1926
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 1: of one source, figure out the creative for a superside

1927
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 1: series summer. Both teams schedule to move into the new

1928
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium. They'll both be sharing hard knocks and not

1929
01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 1: just a stadium and some baseball news. Major League Baseball

1930
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 1: and its players are increasingly focused on the plan that

1931
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,720
Speaker 1: could allow them to start the season as early as May.

1932
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 1: The plan would dictate that all thirty teams play games

1933
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 1: at stadiums with no fans in the Phoenix area, including

1934
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,200
Speaker 1: the Arizona Diamondbacks, who would use their home stadium, Chase Field.

1935
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,840
Speaker 1: There you go. That's the update from One Bill's Lit.

1946
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 1: working from home these days, right, Yeah, that's it's been

1947
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 1: definitely the challenge and sort of building a my own

1948
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:05,080
Speaker 1: home studio, if you will, and trying to do it

1949
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: around uh some TV stuff around you know, uh, my

1950
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:11,800
Speaker 1: family schedule of the kids home, you know, wife's home.

1951
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:14,120
Speaker 1: So everything like that is made it a little bit

1952
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:17,679
Speaker 1: different and unique, but so fortunate that we've been able

1953
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:20,280
Speaker 1: to get by it so far. And like you said,

1954
01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 1: most importantly, right now, everybody's healthy and let's hope it

1955
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: stays that way. Right, Yeah, what's your gut feel about

1956
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,560
Speaker 1: how long this will last till everybody gets healthy? And

1957
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:32,639
Speaker 1: do you expect us to evolve into an NFL season

1958
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:35,880
Speaker 1: or kick it off as normal? Yeah? I don't really

1959
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 1: know how it's gonna work. I think it's it's the

1960
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 1: way things are operating. It seems like things change on

1961
01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: a daily basis. Um I guess right now, I would

1962
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: say I have a hard time envisioning well every than

1963
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,600
Speaker 1: getting off as normal. I certainly think that the OTAs

1964
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:54,599
Speaker 1: or I think those are gonna be you know, scrapped.

1965
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:58,320
Speaker 1: Um I guess. Then then it's just how this develops,

1966
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 1: and you know, how how do we can get a bit,

1967
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, just there's so many different variables, Dames that

1968
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: I think are not unknown. I think obviously in a

1969
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: perfect world they'd love to start everything on time. I

1970
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 1: just right now, I don't think we're living in a

1971
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 1: perfect world, So I don't know how that's going to play. Hey, Mike,

1972
01:34:15,479 --> 01:34:19,320
Speaker 1: I was saying the sea earlier the show about OTA's

1973
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 1: beginning and the workouts, the offseason, voluntary offseason workout starting

1974
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:26,280
Speaker 1: for what five teams supposed to happen yesterday, not going

1975
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:29,160
Speaker 1: to happen now. But with the strength coaches sending out

1976
01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 1: the workouts for these players, they could they could do

1977
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good job of designing exactly what they want

1978
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:37,040
Speaker 1: players to do, and could really, if they were active

1979
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 1: about it, could find a way to monitor their progress. Right,

1980
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, look, maybe I'm just guessing. I

1981
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:44,320
Speaker 1: think there are teams that would would go the distance

1982
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:46,679
Speaker 1: and trying to make sure they get a good, meaningful

1983
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: voluntary workout a month or two here. What do you think? Yeah,

1984
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about it that I

1985
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:54,320
Speaker 1: think you're you're const in some ways. You're going to

1986
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 1: see the level of commitment if we do, you know,

1987
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:01,600
Speaker 1: eventually have a season, or if the season does, you know,

1988
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 1: from from a preseason regular season start on time, I

1989
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 1: think you're going to really have a good idea of

1990
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:11,680
Speaker 1: what teams and more importantly, what players truly committed to

1991
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:14,800
Speaker 1: being in the best football shape that could possibly be

1992
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:18,000
Speaker 1: without being able to, you know, use the team's facilities

1993
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 1: and be in team meetings and all these things, at

1994
01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:23,960
Speaker 1: least in person. I think it's going to be one

1995
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 1: of the interesting things I think that develops over these

1996
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 1: next few months with regard to team building is how

1997
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 1: many guys are mature enough and willing to do all

1998
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 1: that it needs to be done to be in the

1999
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 1: best shape possible for whenever this kicks off. And you know,

2000
01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 1: you always point to, hey, well we're supposed to start

2001
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:43,720
Speaker 1: on April whatever, twenty six, and well, now I don't know,

2002
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:45,560
Speaker 1: so well, you know what, I need to do this

2003
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:47,679
Speaker 1: workout today because I don't think it's going to start

2004
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:50,679
Speaker 1: on time, and they, as you well know, you can't

2005
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 1: do that. They're gonna have to be able to hit

2006
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 1: the ground running whenever it's determined that it is, you know,

2007
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 1: okay to go. And I know, in talking to a

2008
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 1: bunch of people around the league and a couple of

2009
01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:03,320
Speaker 1: Patriots recently about hey, look, you know we're checking in

2010
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 1: on each other. It's not just the strength and conditioning coach.

2011
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:09,640
Speaker 1: It's not just you know, uh, that's part of it.

2012
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 1: It's each of us. They can sure, hey I'm not

2013
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 1: running back, you know, James White, Colin Sony, Michelle A Sony,

2014
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:18,800
Speaker 1: are you are you doing? Did you do this? Did

2015
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 1: you are you lifting? How's the squatting going? Did you

2016
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,640
Speaker 1: are you doing at Chili's drills? Like they're gonna be

2017
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:25,880
Speaker 1: on each other. And I think that's you know that

2018
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 1: internal leadership is critical too for for teams to make

2019
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 1: sure guys stay motivated, isn't and stay ready. Well, certainly

2020
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,519
Speaker 1: one of the big obstacles this year, which is one

2021
01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 1: of the things you take for granted year to year,

2022
01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 1: is building a roster and you bring in new guys

2023
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:41,600
Speaker 1: not only draft picks but free agents, and they've got

2024
01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:45,720
Speaker 1: acclimate and in the off season, those OTAs is where

2025
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 1: they kind of get to know each other before they

2026
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,280
Speaker 1: start putting the nuts and bolts of the offense and

2027
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:53,160
Speaker 1: defense together. The Bills went out traded for Stefan Diggs.

2028
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:56,439
Speaker 1: He said he thought he gave that ride receiver room

2029
01:36:56,479 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 1: and edge. Does this hamper the ability the free ages

2030
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 1: to contribute? Certainly, it's going to hamper the ability of

2031
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:06,280
Speaker 1: the draft picks. I mean, this is this is going

2032
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 1: to be a rough offseason for continuity going forward, right, Yeah,

2033
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:11,800
Speaker 1: which is why one of the reasons why I think

2034
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 1: the Bills are very well positioned though, to get off

2035
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:17,719
Speaker 1: to the kind of start and hit the ground running

2036
01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:19,840
Speaker 1: that maybe some other teams aren't. I mean, obviously, New

2037
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:23,879
Speaker 1: England has the coaching staff in place in great extor leadership,

2038
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:26,200
Speaker 1: but they don't have the quarterback now. And now you're

2039
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:29,759
Speaker 1: transitioning to a new quarterback, whether that's Jared Stidham, Brian Hoyer,

2040
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:32,519
Speaker 1: or someone via the draft, or maybe even you know,

2041
01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 1: if Cam Newton still stays out there and you can

2042
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 1: get Cam Newton on a prove it deal that sort

2043
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:41,200
Speaker 1: of thing. Whereas the Bills have so many people coming

2044
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: back from the last year's team, and especially guys at

2045
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 1: key positions, having you know, the coordinators remain the same,

2046
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:52,320
Speaker 1: head coach remain the same, having Josh now entering his

2047
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 1: third year, and yeah, it would be beneficial for Josh

2048
01:37:56,280 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 1: and Stefan to be able to get together and throw

2049
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:00,639
Speaker 1: and have OTAs and sort of get to know each

2050
01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:04,560
Speaker 1: other in that regard. But I think when guys like

2051
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:08,320
Speaker 1: Stefan are so talented that I think he could show

2052
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:11,080
Speaker 1: up a week before the season and if he's in shape,

2053
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 1: they could figure it out pretty quickly. And I think

2054
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 1: you kind of saw that with Antonio Brown and the

2055
01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 1: Patriots this past year. You know, shows up and one

2056
01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:21,840
Speaker 1: week later the guy really you know, looking there for

2057
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:24,800
Speaker 1: the offseason, didn't have the playbook the craft for a

2058
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: week and then goes out there and plays pretty well

2059
01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:28,799
Speaker 1: in the one game that he played for New England.

2060
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: I think Stefon Diggs is in that same sort of

2061
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 1: class talent wise. You know, maybe not Antonio Brown, but

2062
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 1: but certainly one of the better young receivers in the game.

2063
01:38:40,040 --> 01:38:42,400
Speaker 1: Mike Giardi, by the way, NFL Network is on the

2064
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 1: line with its Mike. There's been some debate back and

2065
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,120
Speaker 1: forth a little bit about the price the Bills paid

2066
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:50,120
Speaker 1: to get Stefan Diggs. To send a first rounder this year,

2067
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:52,599
Speaker 1: fifth rounder, sixth rounders this year, and a fourth rounder

2068
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,360
Speaker 1: yes next year. Some people think they paid too much.

2069
01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:58,320
Speaker 1: They certainly paid more than DeAndre Hopkins got but what

2070
01:38:58,400 --> 01:38:59,720
Speaker 1: do you think of the price they paid to get

2071
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:03,760
Speaker 1: step I think they got a player in entering his

2072
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 1: prime or in his prime. Obviously on a for a

2073
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 1: number one receiver is a great contract. Although I'm sure

2074
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:15,439
Speaker 1: that there'll be some discussions whether that's that's already happening.

2075
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:18,479
Speaker 1: I know Brandon Bean sort of sidestep the question the

2076
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:23,320
Speaker 1: other day, but I just think for a guy that

2077
01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 1: can make that much of a difference for your team,

2078
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: a team that I think they feel like it's ready

2079
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 1: to win now, I don't think that they paid too

2080
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:33,640
Speaker 1: great a price. And you know, one of the things

2081
01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:35,599
Speaker 1: that I really liked hearing from Brandon the other day,

2082
01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:38,080
Speaker 1: it was just the notion that, look, obviously this is

2083
01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:40,760
Speaker 1: a loaded class in terms of wide receivers. There some

2084
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 1: people that call him the deepest wide receiver draft that

2085
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 1: they can ever remember, and that there possibly or six, seven,

2086
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:48,800
Speaker 1: eight guys that could be taken in the first round,

2087
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:51,960
Speaker 1: and I've seen some outrageous numbers in the first three rounds.

2088
01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 1: But his point was, look, this guy knows how to

2089
01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 1: play the pro game, he knows how to ball. We

2090
01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about him understanding some of the

2091
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 1: terminology yeah, he's got to learn our playbook, but he's

2092
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 1: already learned playbooks. He knows that the college game there's

2093
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 1: such a big transition. You know, there are signals and

2094
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:11,880
Speaker 1: they you know, there aren't as many option routes, and

2095
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 1: he's like, this guy has already done all that, so

2096
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 1: he feels like it gives them a huge advantage. And

2097
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: I really do buy into that that. You know, the

2098
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,679
Speaker 1: bus rate of the wide receiver position is pretty high.

2099
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 1: So even though there is a great crop that is

2100
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 1: supposedly coming out, would you be surprised if four or

2101
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:28,639
Speaker 1: five of these guys just crashed and burned. I wouldn't

2102
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:30,679
Speaker 1: because I just think that's the nature of that position.

2103
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,120
Speaker 1: I think sometimes it's really hard for those guys to

2104
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 1: blend in. You know, Patriots, they drafted nikkil Harry in

2105
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:39,080
Speaker 1: the first round, and yeah he was hurt, so he

2106
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:41,800
Speaker 1: missed half the season. But when he came back, he

2107
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,240
Speaker 1: had some moments, but boy, he was not even close

2108
01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:47,160
Speaker 1: to being ready to be what they needed him to

2109
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 1: be at that point. And I think that's why the

2110
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:53,200
Speaker 1: cost for Stefan to me made all the sense in

2111
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:55,519
Speaker 1: the world. You get that deal done, you get that

2112
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:58,519
Speaker 1: guy in here, and you know, with Cole Beasley was

2113
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 1: just a terrific pro. John Brown like, now you've got

2114
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 1: three guys you really have to be concerned with Dautin

2115
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:06,280
Speaker 1: knocks a tight end. There's there's just so much going

2116
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:08,400
Speaker 1: on for that offense right now that if Josh can

2117
01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 1: take that next step. I just love the way that

2118
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:14,479
Speaker 1: there their positions right here. Well, I with Mike Giardi,

2119
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 1: NFL never report around the life of this so all

2120
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:20,160
Speaker 1: of that set up Josh Allen. Would you expect him

2121
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:23,639
Speaker 1: to take a step forward? Then, Mike, what do you think? Yeah,

2122
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: I think it's I think there's a there's a there's

2123
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:28,400
Speaker 1: a lot on him this year, and I mean not

2124
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:30,840
Speaker 1: that there wasn't last year as well, but I think

2125
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 1: it's really he made I thought some terrific strides this

2126
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,400
Speaker 1: past season. You know, the accuracy was up, he was.

2127
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:39,719
Speaker 1: He was great on when you you know, again, Brandon

2128
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 1: beat said, you gotta be able to throw the ball

2129
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 1: in this league when everyone knows you're gonna throw the ball. Well,

2130
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:46,240
Speaker 1: he was the tenth rated passer on third and six

2131
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 1: or longer this past year. Uh, And I think to

2132
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 1: me again that shows, hey, look they knew what was

2133
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 1: coming and he still was able to deliver uh fairly

2134
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:57,200
Speaker 1: consistently in that spot. And if he can take that

2135
01:41:57,400 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 1: next step and get that that accuracy into the you know,

2136
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: sixty three sixty four with the sort of percentage wise

2137
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:06,120
Speaker 1: but the sort of athleticism that he brings to the table.

2138
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:10,240
Speaker 1: And now with what you've put around him, um boy,

2139
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:12,800
Speaker 1: they I mean it really could blossom for them this year.

2140
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 1: I really think it's a real to me, it's a

2141
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:17,680
Speaker 1: real tell year for for Josh and what he's going

2142
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 1: to be going forward. Like it's time to say they

2143
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:22,519
Speaker 1: could grab the reins and put all this together because

2144
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:26,680
Speaker 1: I think um Brandon and shand day Ball, they've all

2145
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:28,720
Speaker 1: done a nice john about putting the pieces around him

2146
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:31,280
Speaker 1: to give him the best chance for success. And now

2147
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 1: he's got to go on and season. Well, it may

2148
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,559
Speaker 1: be just a hair early to crown a AFC's champs,

2149
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 1: um but Mike, but by the same token, Tom Brady's

2150
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:44,120
Speaker 1: out of the division for the first time in twenty years,

2151
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:47,839
Speaker 1: and it does seem like the landscape has changed somewhat.

2152
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:50,680
Speaker 1: Do you see that being real or are we just

2153
01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 1: wishing it now? I think I think it's real because

2154
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:57,679
Speaker 1: again I go back to the to the consistency part

2155
01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:01,519
Speaker 1: of this, this whole equation in the offseason and what

2156
01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:04,919
Speaker 1: Sean has been able to build in Buffalo, and you're

2157
01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 1: seeing the progression and you've seen them take that, you know,

2158
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 1: that step and then the next step, and now again

2159
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 1: this is the sort of the next challenge in front

2160
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:15,960
Speaker 1: of them. I mean, I would never bury the Patriots

2161
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 1: because I think, as we well know that that coaches is,

2162
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 1: it's not the best of all time. He's one of

2163
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 1: the best of all time, and there's still plenty of

2164
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:26,920
Speaker 1: talent on that roster. But the transition from Brady to

2165
01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 1: whoever it's going to be is a going to be

2166
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 1: difficult for whoever that's going to be. And then what

2167
01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:34,640
Speaker 1: sort of performance do you get from whoever is in

2168
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 1: that spot? And you know, I think if the Patriots

2169
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:41,639
Speaker 1: were able to get competent quarterback play, that they're probably

2170
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:45,000
Speaker 1: a nine win team. Is somewhere in that ballpark. They

2171
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: get something better than that, then there's you know, ten

2172
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 1: to eleven wins whatever you're talking about. So to me,

2173
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:53,080
Speaker 1: that's sort of where you put the division. That number

2174
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 1: on the division, I'd say like eleven wins probably gets

2175
01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 1: you the division this year, and I think the Bills

2176
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:03,479
Speaker 1: have positioned themselves to but certainly, you know, be it's

2177
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:05,720
Speaker 1: not the favorite, the co favorite with the Patriots, because again,

2178
01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:07,920
Speaker 1: I just have a hard time after all these years

2179
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 1: of just sort of dumping dirt on them because I've

2180
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 1: seen that happen before. And then you know, you go

2181
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:16,080
Speaker 1: back to that one year on O eight when Brady

2182
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 1: gets hurt in the first quarter of the first game,

2183
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:20,720
Speaker 1: and I know that was a team that was coming

2184
01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:22,960
Speaker 1: off the sixteen and o season and the eighteen and

2185
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:26,640
Speaker 1: won overall, so they were that roster was loaded, but

2186
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:29,479
Speaker 1: they won eleven games with a guy in Matt Castle

2187
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:32,040
Speaker 1: who never was good in preseason, but the three years

2188
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 1: that he was there had obviously did not play as

2189
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 1: everyone knows the story at USC and was sort of

2190
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:39,479
Speaker 1: just a flyer at the end of the draft. And

2191
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:42,639
Speaker 1: they won eleven games. So they can they can coach

2192
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:44,960
Speaker 1: it up. And I'm sure whoever it is, whether it's

2193
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:47,639
Speaker 1: cinnam or Horror, like I said, anybody else, that they'll

2194
01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:51,600
Speaker 1: still be that element where they'll find ways to be

2195
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:54,560
Speaker 1: competitive and win games. But I would say that I

2196
01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 1: just having the Buffalo in the way they built this

2197
01:44:57,400 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: thing over the last three years or so is to me,

2198
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:02,439
Speaker 1: they've done it right the whole way through, and uh,

2199
01:45:02,680 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 1: now there's a real opportunity to sort of to seize

2200
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:08,960
Speaker 1: that mantle in the AFC with Miciarity NFL Network. Are

2201
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 1: they really the Patriots really ready to go with Jared's

2202
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:15,880
Speaker 1: did him? Do you think so? You know, as as

2203
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 1: someone who's around there quite a bit, you obviously ask

2204
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,320
Speaker 1: questions about the kid because he had a he had

2205
01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:25,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good um summer with them, and good performances

2206
01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 1: in preseason, and I know, like, you know, gonna get crazy.

2207
01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:29,800
Speaker 1: No one's game planning for you. But I've seen other

2208
01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: guys come in and crash and crash and burn. Well,

2209
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm sitting I'm talking to people over the course of

2210
01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:37,720
Speaker 1: the six or eight months leading up to Brady, you know,

2211
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 1: finally leaving, and just heard really good things about him

2212
01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:44,800
Speaker 1: across the board, from teammates, from from from high ranking

2213
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:47,600
Speaker 1: people in that building. But the one thing that I

2214
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: got cautioned with multiple times, and I you know it

2215
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 1: holds true for any young player, is yeah, we can

2216
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 1: say all these great things about him, but until he

2217
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 1: actually goes and does it and does it consistently. They're

2218
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:03,280
Speaker 1: just words, you know, and that's that'll be the big challenge.

2219
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me in the least bit that Horyer

2220
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 1: would start some games, maybe in the beginning of the

2221
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:13,280
Speaker 1: year if this team gets off on time, just because

2222
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:15,439
Speaker 1: of his overall knowledge of the system. And I think

2223
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:19,799
Speaker 1: he also gives them a little bit of a soft

2224
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:22,600
Speaker 1: landing for for Sidham if you will, if that's the

2225
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:25,599
Speaker 1: right phrase in terms of okay, you're not immediately coming

2226
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:27,680
Speaker 1: in and being the guy to have to fill in

2227
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:30,880
Speaker 1: Tom shoes. It's a veteran who started a bunch of games,

2228
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 1: has been in the playoffs, and yeah, there are certain

2229
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: limitations to Brian Horror, but at least he's been here

2230
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:37,920
Speaker 1: and done that before. He knows how to lead a team.

2231
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:41,560
Speaker 1: He'll get them in the right spot. Sometimes physically, he

2232
01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:43,920
Speaker 1: can't do some of the things that that you'd like

2233
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:46,560
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback to do, and maybe that's where you know,

2234
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:50,000
Speaker 1: Sidham will have a bit of an advantage, but um,

2235
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, so he gives stim that opportunity to maybe

2236
01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:54,720
Speaker 1: have a little bit more time to watch and learn

2237
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:57,920
Speaker 1: before you throw him into the thing and where it's

2238
01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:00,240
Speaker 1: going to be you know, clearly a thinker swims type

2239
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 1: of situation for him. Well, given what's happening in the

2240
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:05,160
Speaker 1: AFC East, with what's going on in New England for

2241
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time where there are

2242
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 1: some uncertainties at quarterback, the Jets seem to be in

2243
01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, kind of in limbo, maybe going to get better.

2244
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:15,720
Speaker 1: The Dolphins certainly have made strides, but they have a

2245
01:47:15,800 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 1: long way to go. And with what's happened in Buffalo

2246
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:23,840
Speaker 1: and the stability, the stability they have going forward, have

2247
01:47:24,040 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 1: the expectations become so great for Josh Allen and maybe

2248
01:47:28,120 --> 01:47:30,360
Speaker 1: he may not be able to live up to those expectations.

2249
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:33,719
Speaker 1: Are there expectations through the roof for Buffalo and therefore

2250
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:37,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen? I mean, I think that they're clearly, they're

2251
01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:41,960
Speaker 1: clearly rising. And obviously he's still a young quarterback. I think,

2252
01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:44,439
Speaker 1: what are we talking about? Twenty seven starts I think

2253
01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:46,720
Speaker 1: in the first two years of his career, so a

2254
01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:48,880
Speaker 1: decent amount of football, but it's still plenty of time

2255
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:52,960
Speaker 1: to grow and learn. I just look at him from

2256
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:55,800
Speaker 1: the perspective. The accuracy thing is the one thing that

2257
01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:57,920
Speaker 1: I you know, sort of latch onto because, like I said,

2258
01:47:57,920 --> 01:48:00,479
Speaker 1: I've seen so many things with him over the last

2259
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:03,280
Speaker 1: two years that I liked. The growth last year I

2260
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 1: thought was really almost underplayed to a point because people

2261
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:09,680
Speaker 1: are going to remember how the game ended against the

2262
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 1: Texans um and you know, have that sort of stick

2263
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:15,759
Speaker 1: in their brain and not look at the big picture

2264
01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:17,880
Speaker 1: on the improvement you made in the big picture. But

2265
01:48:18,040 --> 01:48:20,560
Speaker 1: to me, I think he needs to just be a

2266
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:23,920
Speaker 1: little bit more accurate. I think in this league, especially now,

2267
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:28,120
Speaker 1: it's built for quarterbacks, It's built to throw the ball,

2268
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 1: and I think that being under sixty percent, you know,

2269
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:35,640
Speaker 1: leaves you a little bit of a wonder, you know,

2270
01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 1: can can you get to that next level? And I think, again,

2271
01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:41,080
Speaker 1: they'd given them all the tools, so I do. I

2272
01:48:41,080 --> 01:48:42,439
Speaker 1: don't want to say it's a sink or swim the

2273
01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:46,479
Speaker 1: year for him, but I really do believe that there

2274
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:48,320
Speaker 1: is a little kind of a lot on his plate

2275
01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 1: because I think they've said, hey, look man, we got

2276
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:54,120
Speaker 1: you everything you need, you know, and if you take

2277
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:56,720
Speaker 1: the coaching and you can, you know, hone some of

2278
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:59,800
Speaker 1: your physical abilities, the sky's the limit here. And I

2279
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:02,920
Speaker 1: guess maybe that is You're right, Maybe the expectations are

2280
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,040
Speaker 1: pretty high, but I think at times he's showing that

2281
01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:08,920
Speaker 1: he can live up to those expectations. So it's almost

2282
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:12,120
Speaker 1: a product of some of those things that he's been

2283
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:15,080
Speaker 1: able to do physically in the first two years of

2284
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:16,840
Speaker 1: his career. And you figure if the physical and the

2285
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:20,439
Speaker 1: mental of Mary, then you're looking at a guy who

2286
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:23,400
Speaker 1: could be the best quarterback in this division for how

2287
01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 1: many years to come? You know, we're on the line

2288
01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:30,880
Speaker 1: with Mike girardive NFL NFL Network, he's a reporter, also

2289
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:33,800
Speaker 1: contributed to NFL Total Access, and Mike, I got another

2290
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:39,240
Speaker 1: question I want to ask you about some other teams

2291
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:40,840
Speaker 1: are like, not just in New England pages, not just

2292
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:42,720
Speaker 1: the a FCS, But let's go to a team that really,

2293
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:44,640
Speaker 1: and I've said it before on our show, that a

2294
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 1: team that caught lightning in a bottle in Tennessee, Derrick

2295
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 1: Henry down in Tennessee, carried them through with Ryan Tannehill

2296
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:56,840
Speaker 1: taking snaps, he signed his franchise tender tags and you know,

2297
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:58,680
Speaker 1: as a long term deal in the words, do you

2298
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 1: think Tennessee can keep it going with the big push

2299
01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 1: they put on at the end of last year's that's

2300
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:09,160
Speaker 1: something that's sustainable, particularly given we thought who we knew

2301
01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:12,040
Speaker 1: who Ryan Tannehill was, But is that who he is

2302
01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:13,960
Speaker 1: who we saw the last half of last year or

2303
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,080
Speaker 1: was it the guy we saw in Miami? Yeah, I

2304
01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 1: mean that's the great question, right, And they're betting that

2305
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:21,320
Speaker 1: he is with the long term deal that he signed,

2306
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:23,240
Speaker 1: they're betting that he is that guy that they saw

2307
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 1: last year that elevated them and took him to the

2308
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:28,880
Speaker 1: two the FC title game. And you know, we've seen him,

2309
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:30,880
Speaker 1: You've seen him a lot over the years, obviously playing

2310
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:33,920
Speaker 1: in Miami, and there were moments where you say, but yeah,

2311
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 1: I see it's it's keeps coming. But it never they

2312
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 1: were never able too and he was never able to consistently,

2313
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 1: you know, deliver on a week to week basis for Miami.

2314
01:50:42,680 --> 01:50:44,960
Speaker 1: So I guess I would still have And it seems

2315
01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:49,600
Speaker 1: like HM two have some questions about whether he is

2316
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 1: that guy, because again, we have a lot of evidence

2317
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 1: that says that that was the that was the aberration

2318
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:57,920
Speaker 1: and the norm is what you saw for those five

2319
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:00,479
Speaker 1: six years in Miami. And I get the other thing

2320
01:51:00,479 --> 01:51:04,040
Speaker 1: I would say is, you know, Derrick Henry was phenomenal

2321
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:06,639
Speaker 1: last year that leaned on him a lot he got

2322
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:09,439
Speaker 1: a lot of carries, especially in that postseason, and we

2323
01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:13,400
Speaker 1: know show flights of backs and how difficult that is

2324
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 1: and the pounding that they take. And maybe he's the

2325
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, the exception to the rule because he's just

2326
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:21,160
Speaker 1: so big and just so physical and so fast and

2327
01:51:21,240 --> 01:51:24,760
Speaker 1: such a specimen that he doesn't slow like other guys do.

2328
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:27,200
Speaker 1: But boy, there was a lot on him last year.

2329
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 1: And I know, if I'm if I'm Tennessee, I'm looking

2330
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:33,320
Speaker 1: to add a complimentary piece to him because I don't

2331
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:36,719
Speaker 1: want to have to in you know, in week four

2332
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 1: or Week eight or week twelve or whatever it may be,

2333
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:42,120
Speaker 1: lean on this guy for thirty carries. I just think

2334
01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:46,040
Speaker 1: that's a size strength to all that. Notwithstanding, I just

2335
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 1: don't think that's a great recipe the sixtin sustain the

2336
01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:52,360
Speaker 1: sort of success he had last year. With Mike Giardi,

2337
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 1: NFL Network reporter, Mike, I'm not asking for a prediction here,

2338
01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:58,920
Speaker 1: but a big picture question with the word that baseball,

2339
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:02,479
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is considering at least considering moving the

2340
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:05,240
Speaker 1: whole league out to Arizona to play a schedule of

2341
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,519
Speaker 1: games out there to start their season that way, how

2342
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:09,799
Speaker 1: much do you think the NFL and maybe other pro sports.

2343
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,360
Speaker 1: How much will they go to school on what happens with,

2344
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, playing in front of empty stadiums and exposing

2345
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:18,000
Speaker 1: players to each other with a threat of you know,

2346
01:52:18,520 --> 01:52:21,280
Speaker 1: contamination and all the issues that will come with that

2347
01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 1: sort of a baseball setup. Do you think the NFL

2348
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:24,880
Speaker 1: will keep an eye on that and see how it works.

2349
01:52:25,680 --> 01:52:27,920
Speaker 1: I think they absolutely will, and I think it's really

2350
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:30,760
Speaker 1: a great test case for them before they have to

2351
01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:34,320
Speaker 1: really get into it. I mean, I guess for all

2352
01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:38,320
Speaker 1: the professional sports, they're the one who benefit is not

2353
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:41,240
Speaker 1: the right word, but they have more time to see

2354
01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:43,800
Speaker 1: how this plays out. And that's why I know there

2355
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:46,680
Speaker 1: was some criticism of them being so optimistic last week

2356
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:48,760
Speaker 1: when Jeff Pash was talking to me about, oh, we

2357
01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 1: plan on having the season on time, and I get

2358
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:53,640
Speaker 1: that to a certain degree, but what's he supposed to

2359
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:57,360
Speaker 1: say as of right now? That is the plan, you know,

2360
01:52:57,479 --> 01:52:59,000
Speaker 1: and I think we can all look at it and here,

2361
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:00,680
Speaker 1: as we talk about in the beginning, you know, we're

2362
01:53:00,720 --> 01:53:02,680
Speaker 1: all day to day with this thing, and we get

2363
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 1: new information every day on how this all plays out.

2364
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:07,240
Speaker 1: But right now they don't have to make a decision

2365
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 1: it seems like people want them to make a decisions say, oh,

2366
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, we're definitely playing on September the first or whatever,

2367
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:15,040
Speaker 1: or we're definitely having training camp on August the first. Well,

2368
01:53:15,040 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 1: they don't have to do that yet. They have time,

2369
01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:19,640
Speaker 1: you know. Like I said, I think the OTAs will

2370
01:53:19,680 --> 01:53:23,360
Speaker 1: probably be a casualty of this. But while that will

2371
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:25,800
Speaker 1: impact some of the young players development and some team

2372
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:29,640
Speaker 1: building stuff, that's something that you can overcome and they

2373
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:32,519
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that just yet. I think

2374
01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:35,799
Speaker 1: that's to me, that's the part where they're gonna monitor

2375
01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:38,320
Speaker 1: what Major League Baseball does if the NHL or NBA

2376
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:40,760
Speaker 1: try to come back or do certain things. They're looking

2377
01:53:40,800 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 1: at that. I'm sure they're looking at some of the

2378
01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 1: stuff that's happening overseas. I mean, there's baseball being played

2379
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:49,040
Speaker 1: I think it's in South Korea, and you're you watch

2380
01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:52,639
Speaker 1: how they manage this, how they're treating people, how they're

2381
01:53:52,640 --> 01:53:54,800
Speaker 1: treating your athletes, you know, how they're testing them and

2382
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:57,040
Speaker 1: all these sorts of things before they come up with

2383
01:53:57,640 --> 01:53:59,519
Speaker 1: you know, they don't have to make a definitive plan

2384
01:53:59,640 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 1: right now. They don't have to have that answer. People

2385
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:03,160
Speaker 1: seem to want them to have that answer, and they

2386
01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:06,360
Speaker 1: just they don't have to. They got time. I agree,

2387
01:54:06,479 --> 01:54:10,040
Speaker 1: Hey Mike, thanks for this. Stay healthy. Yeah you two guys,

2388
01:54:10,240 --> 01:54:13,360
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you having me on anytime. And yeah, Adustin,

2389
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:15,559
Speaker 1: you and your families and your loved ones. I hope

2390
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:18,320
Speaker 1: everybody stays strong and healthy and we get on the

2391
01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:21,439
Speaker 1: other side of this sooner rather than later. Thanks Mike.

2392
01:54:22,040 --> 01:54:26,519
Speaker 1: Mike Gardy, NFL network reporter, contributed to their Total Access show,

2393
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:28,560
Speaker 1: Game Day Morning and others. You can follow them on

2394
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:32,240
Speaker 1: Twitter at Mike Gardy. He essentially Steve agreed with what

2395
01:54:32,360 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 1: you and I have been saying for a couple of

2396
01:54:33,640 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 1: days now about how there's really no reason for the

2397
01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:40,840
Speaker 1: NFL to cancel anything except possibly OTAs and then the

2398
01:54:40,920 --> 01:54:43,160
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. But why shouldn't they go ahead

2399
01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:45,480
Speaker 1: and at least talk about, hey, we've got a schedule

2400
01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:47,440
Speaker 1: coming out and may right, there's no reason to put

2401
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:50,040
Speaker 1: a stop on anything. Yeah, it's not like they have

2402
01:54:50,120 --> 01:54:53,120
Speaker 1: to take action. There's just nothing to do. So they

2403
01:54:53,160 --> 01:54:55,600
Speaker 1: can take the action of just in action and say

2404
01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:57,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep on keeping on life. We are, We're

2405
01:54:57,480 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 1: going to do business as usual until we're forced to change,

2406
01:55:00,360 --> 01:55:04,840
Speaker 1: and I think you know, they'll probably you know, if

2407
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 1: you put your crystal ball on, you can you can

2408
01:55:07,440 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 1: imagine and anticipate what's going to take for the league

2409
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:16,040
Speaker 1: to change. It'll take some national policy too, you know,

2410
01:55:16,160 --> 01:55:17,880
Speaker 1: for them to get up and say, Okay, you know what,

2411
01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:20,640
Speaker 1: because of this national policy, we are forced to do A,

2412
01:55:20,840 --> 01:55:25,840
Speaker 1: B and C. Other than that, they can wait indefinitely

2413
01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:28,440
Speaker 1: all the way through the summer to decide how to

2414
01:55:28,560 --> 01:55:31,840
Speaker 1: handle handle it best in the fall. I don't know

2415
01:55:31,840 --> 01:55:33,360
Speaker 1: if I don't know if they can wait through the summer,

2416
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 1: but I think they can wait a while, at least

2417
01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:37,960
Speaker 1: a couple of months. My point would be this, they

2418
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 1: could They could wait and say, listen, we're not everybody

2419
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:44,400
Speaker 1: shut out of the buildings until you think about August first,

2420
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:50,560
Speaker 1: you know. And by August first, it'd be you know, April, May, June, July,

2421
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:54,600
Speaker 1: four months from now. Everything may be very very different,

2422
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:57,080
Speaker 1: and they'll say, you know, August first, we're gonna open

2423
01:55:57,160 --> 01:56:01,000
Speaker 1: everything up. Training camp starts on August seventh, and it's

2424
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:03,560
Speaker 1: two weeks and we start against Boom, Presto Chango and

2425
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:05,440
Speaker 1: all the OTAs and all the things in the off

2426
01:56:05,480 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 1: season they usually have are gone away, but the leg

2427
01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:11,400
Speaker 1: will start with a couple of weeks of practice. They'll

2428
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:14,920
Speaker 1: start playing games, preseason games, and get it going. That's

2429
01:56:15,520 --> 01:56:17,560
Speaker 1: really all they have to do. So all the stuff

2430
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:21,520
Speaker 1: they're announcing right now is basically just announcing that we're

2431
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:24,120
Speaker 1: not going to do anything different until we're forced to.

2432

Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago. In the show, began. What happened.

2447
01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:15,360
Speaker 1: It's still warm. I stuck my head out the door

2448
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:17,920
Speaker 1: during the break and it's still warm out. So I'm

2449
01:57:17,960 --> 01:57:20,480
Speaker 1: still hanging in there. But there's not sunny like it was.

2450
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:23,280
Speaker 1: It's not right really in sunshine. Don't need to put

2451
01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:26,560
Speaker 1: sunscreen on. Then it's a plus Murph, it's April. Are

2452
01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 1: you really using sunscreen in April? Come on, come on now, well,

2453
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:33,840
Speaker 1: I guess not. It's cloudy. Hey, our Twitter poll is

2454
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:36,240
Speaker 1: still up. Thanks, by the way to Mike Giardi. It's

2455
01:57:36,280 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 1: good to talk to him. It's good to get you

2456
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:39,680
Speaker 1: know what I like. See. We get these different perspectives

2457
01:57:39,720 --> 01:57:41,840
Speaker 1: from people all over the country, and everybody's kind of

2458
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:45,200
Speaker 1: feeling it, and everybody's uncertain, right nobody, as he answers,

2459
01:57:45,200 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 1: it's almost unfair to ask somebody, what do you think

2460
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:49,480
Speaker 1: is they're going to be an NFL season? Nobody knows.

2461
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:51,120
Speaker 1: Why would we ask some of these people that, you know,

2462
01:57:51,760 --> 01:57:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I asked him because I think everybody

2463
01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:56,920
Speaker 1: wants to get it off their chest, you know, get

2464
01:57:56,920 --> 01:57:58,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of their frustration, plus a little bit

2465
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 1: about their frustration of being able to know what's going

2466
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:04,800
Speaker 1: to happen. I know, most people just appreciate the opportunity

2467
01:58:04,840 --> 01:58:08,160
Speaker 1: to vent, Murph. I mean, everybody's been sequestered. We should

2468
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:10,520
Speaker 1: that's what we should do tomorrow. We'll give each other

2469
01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:14,200
Speaker 1: a chance to vent. When we come on the show,

2470
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:16,320
Speaker 1: just say what, Murph, do you think there'll be a

2471
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:22,200
Speaker 1: season this year? And you say, I don't know? All right,

2472
01:58:22,800 --> 01:58:25,280
Speaker 1: everybody wants to know. You know, we gotta ask everybody

2473
01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:27,360
Speaker 1: what's going on, because that's what we're doing. This. The

2474
01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 1: league is the only thing it's working, right, You're right,

2475
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:34,400
Speaker 1: it is. Everybody else is working, and we're not doing

2476
01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:37,600
Speaker 1: it out of insensivity to the terrible plight that many

2477
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:40,120
Speaker 1: people are putting up with. We we salute the work

2478
01:58:40,160 --> 01:58:43,120
Speaker 1: done by medical personnel and delivery people that everybody also

2479
01:58:43,200 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 1: has to work. But people in the NFL, yeah, I

2480
01:58:46,520 --> 01:58:49,959
Speaker 1: mean certainly the medical professionals and all the first responders

2481
01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:51,720
Speaker 1: are a ton of people that are keeping us rolling

2482
01:58:51,760 --> 01:58:53,760
Speaker 1: along in this thing, and their heroes. You and I

2483
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 1: are sitting here talking about football. Yeah, I couldn't get

2484
01:58:57,560 --> 01:59:00,240
Speaker 1: any here exactly. And you know, so we're talking to

2485
01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:02,560
Speaker 1: these people and guys like Mike Girardi and Thad Brown,

2486
01:59:02,640 --> 01:59:04,880
Speaker 1: and we're talking about their families. They're spending more time

2487
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:07,960
Speaker 1: with their families, and you know, it's interesting because we've

2488
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:12,840
Speaker 1: both been noticing it. With Mike Girardi, they were they

2489
01:59:12,920 --> 01:59:16,040
Speaker 1: are happy to come. You know. Usually, you know, you

2490
01:59:16,080 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 1: get a lot of requests to go on shows on

2491
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:20,240
Speaker 1: you do, I know I do once in a while. Well,

2492
01:59:20,320 --> 01:59:23,080
Speaker 1: and people these days, they're they're more than happy to

2493
01:59:23,160 --> 01:59:25,080
Speaker 1: come on and spend a half hour on the phone

2494
01:59:25,120 --> 01:59:27,960
Speaker 1: with us on our show because you know, they just

2495
01:59:28,280 --> 01:59:30,640
Speaker 1: got a while away the time because they don't they

2496
01:59:30,680 --> 01:59:33,720
Speaker 1: don't have to leave their house and they can't leave

2497
01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:37,080
Speaker 1: their house for anything else. So it's been weird, kind

2498
01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:38,760
Speaker 1: of plus for the show that we've been able to

2499
01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:40,640
Speaker 1: get all these guys on, and it's been weird as

2500
01:59:40,680 --> 01:59:43,600
Speaker 1: well that they almost seem relieved and happy that we

2501
01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:47,920
Speaker 1: gave him a break, yeah, from you know, being sequestered. Yep,

2502

Speaker 1: Hanson from NFL never will be with us tomorrow, So

2505
01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:58,880
Speaker 1: we'll finish out the week strong. We had a good

2506
01:59:58,880 --> 02:00:00,640
Speaker 1: Twitter poll and it's still up there. If you'd like

2507

2510
02:00:06,880 --> 02:00:09,920
Speaker 1: one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. If you

2511
02:00:10,040 --> 02:00:12,920
Speaker 1: could be quarantined with one current or former Bills player,

2512
02:00:13,240 --> 02:00:15,080
Speaker 1: who would it be? And on the tweet chet brought

2513
02:00:15,160 --> 02:00:17,520
Speaker 1: here by Cargan the Moving systems the official movies of

2514
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:21,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, Andrew tweets in an interesting name but BYRD.

2515
02:00:21,640 --> 02:00:23,959
Speaker 1: He says the man was one of the most underrated

2516
02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Bills players. I would love to hear stories about how

2517
02:00:26,040 --> 02:00:28,440
Speaker 1: he'd loved to play the game. That'd be interesting. I

2518
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:31,160
Speaker 1: think of those old guys, I mean those sixty four

2519
02:00:31,280 --> 02:00:34,600
Speaker 1: sixty five championship teams. Those guys have great memories of

2520
02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:37,680
Speaker 1: some great Buffalo Bills teams in it in a different era,

2521
02:00:37,800 --> 02:00:41,120
Speaker 1: and I think they have connections to this Buffalo area

2522
02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:42,840
Speaker 1: and Bills fans that would go a long way to

2523
02:00:43,320 --> 02:00:45,400
Speaker 1: entertaining you if that's what you're looking for. Yeah, the

2524
02:00:45,480 --> 02:00:48,720
Speaker 1: best part about those old guys for me, and obviously

2525
02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:50,520
Speaker 1: I have I have a skewed view of it because

2526
02:00:50,520 --> 02:00:53,240
Speaker 1: I know is to play. But the most interesting thing

2527
02:00:53,280 --> 02:00:55,520
Speaker 1: about it is when you talk about how different things

2528
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:59,520
Speaker 1: were are for them compared to the way it was

2529
02:00:59,600 --> 02:01:01,320
Speaker 1: for me, and now that compared to the way it

2530
02:01:01,440 --> 02:01:05,520
Speaker 1: is for the guys now, and certainly, you know, it's

2531
02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:08,320
Speaker 1: been said a million times, most of the benefits that

2532
02:01:08,400 --> 02:01:11,480
Speaker 1: guys like I enjoy, and certainly most of the benefits

2533
02:01:11,480 --> 02:01:14,560
Speaker 1: of the guys in the league now enjoy, were bought

2534
02:01:14,640 --> 02:01:17,160
Speaker 1: and paid for by the efforts of those guys like

2535
02:01:17,280 --> 02:01:21,120
Speaker 1: Butch Byrd and you know, Paul McGuire and Jack Kemp

2536
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:24,400
Speaker 1: and you know Cookie Gilt Chris all those guys back

2537
02:01:24,440 --> 02:01:27,120
Speaker 1: in the sixties and fifties and even before. And to

2538
02:01:27,240 --> 02:01:30,040
Speaker 1: see where the league has come and to hear those

2539
02:01:30,120 --> 02:01:32,760
Speaker 1: guys talk about how far they can just look at

2540
02:01:32,800 --> 02:01:35,000
Speaker 1: it and say wow, you know, and not even recognize

2541
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:37,240
Speaker 1: it anymore. That's the fun part of me talking to

2542
02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:39,800
Speaker 1: the old timers. And they're more than happy because it's

2543
02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:42,600
Speaker 1: just like it was for me in the early nineties.

2544
02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:44,840
Speaker 1: It's burned into their memory how it used to be

2545
02:01:45,200 --> 02:01:47,000
Speaker 1: and how different it is now. It's fun to hear

2546
02:01:47,040 --> 02:01:50,840
Speaker 1: the contrast. Here's a couple other responses on the Twitter

2547
02:01:50,920 --> 02:01:54,200
Speaker 1: poll from Djack. He says, I'm surprised nobody said it yet.

2548
02:01:54,200 --> 02:01:56,240
Speaker 1: I would really enjoy sitting back having a beer with

2549
02:01:56,400 --> 02:01:59,360
Speaker 1: mister Kyle Williams. He just seems like an awesome guy.

2550
02:01:59,400 --> 02:02:01,480
Speaker 1: That would be a good conversation. He could be quarantine

2551
02:02:01,480 --> 02:02:03,400
Speaker 1: with him, I guess, Steve us, Yeah, I could. I

2552
02:02:03,480 --> 02:02:05,440
Speaker 1: could live with that. That's a that's a good choice.

2553
02:02:05,600 --> 02:02:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle's a great dude, you know, And I'd have

2554
02:02:10,080 --> 02:02:13,720
Speaker 1: played golf with him. And I'm laughing. He was good friends.

2555
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Remember Nico Leary, the tight end who's now with the Dolphins,

2556
02:02:17,080 --> 02:02:20,280
Speaker 1: or maybe he's not with the Dolphins anymore. So I'm

2557
02:02:20,320 --> 02:02:24,720
Speaker 1: playing with those two guys. Nico Leary played an entire

2558
02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:30,480
Speaker 1: eighteen holes of golf with Kyle Williams and me, and

2559
02:02:30,760 --> 02:02:35,880
Speaker 1: he didn't say six words. He did not say six,

2560
02:02:36,160 --> 02:02:40,440
Speaker 1: not six of them. Now, he nodded, smiled, and he

2561
02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:43,400
Speaker 1: and he spoke nonverbally, you know, like you know, pointed

2562
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:45,880
Speaker 1: and did you know. So he communicated, but he didn't

2563
02:02:45,920 --> 02:02:51,480
Speaker 1: say six words. Kyle Williams did not shut up for

2564
02:02:51,600 --> 02:02:54,160
Speaker 1: a four hour and fifteen minute round. He did not

2565
02:02:54,480 --> 02:02:57,880
Speaker 1: shut up. They were the best of buddies for that

2566
02:02:58,080 --> 02:03:04,000
Speaker 1: reason alone. Kyle talked constantly. Nicole Leary would listen constantly,

2567
02:03:04,320 --> 02:03:08,240
Speaker 1: and I was it was the most amazing eighteen holes

2568
02:03:08,240 --> 02:03:10,320
Speaker 1: I've ever played. Both those guys can really play, too,

2569
02:03:10,560 --> 02:03:12,440
Speaker 1: So I was kind of sitting there watching him. I

2570
02:03:12,560 --> 02:03:15,520
Speaker 1: could not believe it. Nicole Leary did not, and I

2571
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:17,640
Speaker 1: told I got a chance to meet and talk with

2572
02:03:17,760 --> 02:03:21,080
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholas, his grandfather, and I asked Jack, I go, Jack,

2573
02:03:21,880 --> 02:03:24,560
Speaker 1: what's the deal? And he goes, yeah, he goes. He

2574
02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:27,200
Speaker 1: talks a lot when he plays with me and my sons,

2575
02:03:27,800 --> 02:03:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, but he isn't. He doesn't talk to anybody

2576
02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 1: outside of the family. I was, I have and of

2577
02:03:33,600 --> 02:03:37,320
Speaker 1: course you know Kyle he is. He just never shut up.

2578
02:03:37,400 --> 02:03:39,160
Speaker 1: It was so funny. I said, No, wonder those guys

2579
02:03:39,200 --> 02:03:42,960
Speaker 1: are good buddies. O'Leary never did the show, which is fine,

2580
02:03:43,280 --> 02:03:46,160
Speaker 1: but I tried a couple times to strike up informal

2581
02:03:46,200 --> 02:03:49,040
Speaker 1: conversations with him. And I'll admit it. One time, having

2582
02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:52,400
Speaker 1: just met Jack Nicholas in the in the club seating

2583
02:03:52,480 --> 02:03:54,400
Speaker 1: area on my way down to the locker room after

2584
02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:57,040
Speaker 1: a preseason game, and I saw him. Nichola said, hey, Nick,

2585
02:03:57,240 --> 02:04:00,480
Speaker 1: I just bumped into your grandfather upstairs, and he looked up.

2586
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:01,680
Speaker 1: He was in the locker room and looked up from

2587
02:04:01,720 --> 02:04:03,720
Speaker 1: his bench and said huh and went back to what

2588
02:04:03,800 --> 02:04:05,240
Speaker 1: he was doing. I mean, I got a holt out

2589
02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:06,600
Speaker 1: of him. That's all I can get out of him.

2590
02:04:06,880 --> 02:04:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man, I'm just trying to make conversation.

2591
02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:12,240
Speaker 1: It's crazy, no kidding, Yeah, all right, yeah, it's just

2592
02:04:12,320 --> 02:04:17,560
Speaker 1: a non verbal guy. Yeah. Here's one from Nicole. This

2593
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:20,600
Speaker 1: is interesting too. Which Bill's player, current or former would

2594
02:04:20,600 --> 02:04:22,880
Speaker 1: you like to be quarantine with? Nicole says, I gotta

2595
02:04:22,920 --> 02:04:25,240
Speaker 1: go with Stevie Johnson. I think he'd be a ton

2596
02:04:25,280 --> 02:04:27,440
Speaker 1: of fun, super interesting. Plus maybe he can help my

2597
02:04:27,520 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 1: son not being afraid to catch football. That's a pretty

2598
02:04:29,800 --> 02:04:32,920
Speaker 1: good one, Stevie. I think you might have trouble keeping

2599
02:04:33,040 --> 02:04:37,120
Speaker 1: up because sometimes he uses weird phraseology and stuff. I

2600
02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:39,320
Speaker 1: think I would, but if you can follow him, I

2601
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:42,000
Speaker 1: think he'd be pretty good. Stevie is an interesting, entertaining

2602
02:04:42,040 --> 02:04:44,240
Speaker 1: guy to be with. I think that's a good answer. Yeah,

2603
02:04:44,600 --> 02:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I can see Stevie's a Yeah. He's an energetic, fun

2604
02:04:47,160 --> 02:04:49,720
Speaker 1: guy too. I mean he's and he's not that serious too,

2605
02:04:49,760 --> 02:04:51,360
Speaker 1: so he'd have he'd have be a lot of fun.

2606
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:55,960
Speaker 1: I think to hang out with you know. I here's

2607
02:04:55,960 --> 02:04:58,200
Speaker 1: another one too from Bill's Fan twenty two that I

2608
02:04:58,280 --> 02:05:01,200
Speaker 1: had not thought about. But I've only he says from

2609
02:05:01,240 --> 02:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Fan twenty two, I've only seen like one big

2610
02:05:04,280 --> 02:05:06,880
Speaker 1: boy on here. I'm sure on the O line or

2611
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:09,440
Speaker 1: D line you can look up some good stuff, cook

2612
02:05:09,520 --> 02:05:11,960
Speaker 1: up some good stuff. I hear Dion Dawkins makes some

2613
02:05:12,120 --> 02:05:15,280
Speaker 1: killer mac and cheese. Deon Dawkins is that has got

2614
02:05:15,320 --> 02:05:17,160
Speaker 1: the kind of personality that would be fun to hang

2615
02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:19,680
Speaker 1: out with for a while. You know he's got I

2616
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:21,760
Speaker 1: think he's got some staying power, you know through it

2617
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:24,920
Speaker 1: how you're a long quarantinam. Here's an interesting one from

2618
02:05:25,120 --> 02:05:27,480
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet from the Real Wolfman and a

2619
02:05:27,560 --> 02:05:30,120
Speaker 1: couple of people have said this Scott Norwood, because it

2620
02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:32,040
Speaker 1: would make all the mistakes I've made in my life

2621
02:05:32,080 --> 02:05:35,000
Speaker 1: feel so much less than insignificant. You former team in

2622
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:37,000
Speaker 1: the Scott Noords. I spent time with the set. He's

2623
02:05:37,120 --> 02:05:39,720
Speaker 1: very intelligent and introspective guy, you know what I mean.

2624
02:05:39,960 --> 02:05:42,760
Speaker 1: I'll never forget that when Jim Kelly went on in

2625
02:05:42,840 --> 02:05:45,280
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame in Canton and he had the

2626
02:05:45,320 --> 02:05:48,200
Speaker 1: big post game party and actor New York, remember that

2627
02:05:48,280 --> 02:05:51,280
Speaker 1: big hotel party Kelly here and I got I mean,

2628
02:05:51,320 --> 02:05:53,120
Speaker 1: I kind of sought out Scott Norwood and talked to

2629
02:05:53,200 --> 02:05:55,040
Speaker 1: him for about an hour and a half, just he

2630
02:05:55,160 --> 02:05:57,640
Speaker 1: and I. And he's so he's very interesting, and he's

2631
02:05:57,720 --> 02:06:01,040
Speaker 1: very introspective, and he's not you know, he's not moping

2632
02:06:01,080 --> 02:06:03,440
Speaker 1: around about missing that field goal, but he acknowledges it

2633
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:05,640
Speaker 1: was a big deal and he will talk about it

2634
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:07,840
Speaker 1: if I think, if he knows you a little bit

2635
02:06:07,880 --> 02:06:09,879
Speaker 1: and feels comfortable with you. I had a great conversation

2636
02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:13,760
Speaker 1: with him. Yes, Scott, he has handled that play and

2637
02:06:13,880 --> 02:06:16,040
Speaker 1: that kick and that Super Bowl as well as it

2638
02:06:16,120 --> 02:06:18,640
Speaker 1: could possibly have been handled. Because, like I've I've said

2639
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:20,760
Speaker 1: a couple of times, when you find out you know

2640
02:06:20,960 --> 02:06:22,760
Speaker 1: this guy over here, who is that? And well that's

2641
02:06:22,760 --> 02:06:26,840
Speaker 1: Scott Norwood, it's almost like a face tattoo. He you

2642
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:30,600
Speaker 1: can't avoid it, right, And Scott lives with it, right,

2643
02:06:30,720 --> 02:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he he knows that anybody who finds out

2644
02:06:33,240 --> 02:06:36,520
Speaker 1: who he is will probably know what he's famous for.

2645
02:06:36,800 --> 02:06:39,200
Speaker 1: And it's a you know, missing a kick he has.

2646
02:06:39,440 --> 02:06:41,480
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's a real lesson to all

2647
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:45,880
Speaker 1: of us. How he has embraced that topic. And and

2648
02:06:46,360 --> 02:06:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, coked with it in a real way, in

2649
02:06:48,880 --> 02:06:50,960
Speaker 1: a public way too, because you know, he can't hide.

2650
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:52,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like the guy can live in

2651
02:06:52,640 --> 02:06:54,240
Speaker 1: a cave for the rest of his life. He's got

2652
02:06:54,320 --> 02:06:56,480
Speaker 1: a great he's got he's a successful guy. He's got

2653
02:06:56,520 --> 02:06:58,800
Speaker 1: a great family. I think he lives down in Virginia

2654
02:06:58,840 --> 02:07:01,080
Speaker 1: still and he comes back to Buffalo once in a while.

2655
02:07:01,240 --> 02:07:04,680
Speaker 1: He's been great about embracing it, understanding what it is,

2656
02:07:04,760 --> 02:07:07,640
Speaker 1: putting it into context, and kind of moving on. And

2657
02:07:08,120 --> 02:07:11,200
Speaker 1: he's a great example. So yeah, Scotty'd be great. He's

2658
02:07:11,240 --> 02:07:13,200
Speaker 1: a great dude too. But he is a little bit

2659
02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:15,880
Speaker 1: like nicol Leary. He's not a talkative guy, but he's

2660
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:19,120
Speaker 1: really he is pretty intelligent, does have some insight. Yeah,

2661
02:07:19,760 --> 02:07:22,680
Speaker 1: here's one from Raymond August. He said, which Bill's player

2662
02:07:22,720 --> 02:07:25,720
Speaker 1: would would you be most interested in being quarantined with?

2663
02:07:26,600 --> 02:07:31,680
Speaker 1: He said? M Raymond August says, Jack camp Elite, former

2664
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:35,040
Speaker 1: congressman representing Western York, former vice presidential Now, I think

2665
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:38,920
Speaker 1: you'd have stories from football from really a different era

2666
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:43,080
Speaker 1: of football, and he would have interesting stories about politics

2667
02:07:43,160 --> 02:07:46,080
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I think I think his high level

2668
02:07:46,160 --> 02:07:49,240
Speaker 1: politics stories would probably be as interesting as anything else,

2669
02:07:49,280 --> 02:07:51,560
Speaker 1: you've done it on a football field, because he was

2670
02:07:51,600 --> 02:07:54,840
Speaker 1: at the highest levels of our government for a time. Yeah,

2671
02:07:55,360 --> 02:07:59,480
Speaker 1: ever tell you about I'll finish with this. The training

2672
02:07:59,520 --> 02:08:02,800
Speaker 1: camp used to be at Niagara University, right and twenty

2673
02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:04,480
Speaker 1: minutes from my house in Lockport, and we used to

2674
02:08:04,520 --> 02:08:06,720
Speaker 1: go once a summer. We'd begged my mother to take

2675
02:08:06,800 --> 02:08:08,160
Speaker 1: us up there, and I was a little kid and

2676
02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:10,440
Speaker 1: I was excited to meet and get an autograph from

2677
02:08:10,480 --> 02:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Jack Camp. I knew nothing about this political background or anything.

2678
02:08:13,840 --> 02:08:15,880
Speaker 1: But he was playing with the Bills, and he's coming

2679
02:08:15,920 --> 02:08:18,120
Speaker 1: off the field right after a training camp practice, and

2680
02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:20,680
Speaker 1: walking with him were two guys in suits. Now this

2681
02:08:20,800 --> 02:08:24,160
Speaker 1: had to be sixty seven, sixty eight. He wasn't doing

2682
02:08:24,200 --> 02:08:26,720
Speaker 1: anything official in politics, but he was coming off the

2683
02:08:26,800 --> 02:08:29,320
Speaker 1: field talking politics with two guys in suits. And I

2684
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:32,000
Speaker 1: stood there with my pen in my little scrap of paper, thinking,

2685
02:08:32,640 --> 02:08:34,720
Speaker 1: what's going on. Why isn't he talking about handing the

2686
02:08:34,760 --> 02:08:36,480
Speaker 1: ball off, and why isn't he talk about that pass.

2687
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:38,760
Speaker 1: He's talking about something totally different. It was my first

2688
02:08:38,840 --> 02:08:42,880
Speaker 1: exposure how guys have not a fragmented life, but just

2689
02:08:42,960 --> 02:08:45,760
Speaker 1: they have, you know, a different, different mindset. I don't

2690
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:50,120
Speaker 1: off the field. Yeah, certainly compartmentalize things as well as anybody.

2691
02:08:50,160 --> 02:08:54,000
Speaker 1: And interesting that he did. He was at a high

2692
02:08:54,080 --> 02:08:56,200
Speaker 1: level in pro athletics and of course the high level

2693
02:08:56,240 --> 02:09:00,240
Speaker 1: in politics as well, speaks to his intelligence. And yeah,

2694
02:09:00,280 --> 02:09:02,920
Speaker 1: he was. He started from a young age and during

2695
02:09:02,960 --> 02:09:05,240
Speaker 1: his football career that was still going on strong started

2696
02:09:05,280 --> 02:09:07,320
Speaker 1: into politics. He started also doing some things in the

2697
02:09:07,360 --> 02:09:11,120
Speaker 1: players union as well. So interesting stuff. All right, hey,

2698
02:09:11,160 --> 02:09:12,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. We're gonna come back and

2699
02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:15,440
Speaker 1: talk a little more. It's one Bill's Life presented by

2700
02:09:15,480 --> 02:09:18,320
Speaker 1: Klatta Health. We're doing radio only today and this is

2701
02:09:18,440 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Okay, so what have we learned? Brought

2702
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:36,280
Speaker 1: to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company

2703
02:09:36,320 --> 02:09:38,520
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. We had Ed Brown on sports

2704
02:09:38,600 --> 02:09:43,000
Speaker 1: director at w ROCTV in Rochester. Ted talked a lot

2705
02:09:43,040 --> 02:09:45,080
Speaker 1: about the Bills, and I talked about how Brandon Being

2706
02:09:45,440 --> 02:09:48,480
Speaker 1: we'll get free agents and then sometimes trade him away

2707
02:09:48,680 --> 02:09:51,520
Speaker 1: and before the season begins in the late summer to

2708
02:09:51,600 --> 02:09:54,120
Speaker 1: get other players or maybe even some draft picks. There

2709
02:09:54,160 --> 02:09:56,400
Speaker 1: just what Ded Brown had to say when it comes

2710
02:09:56,440 --> 02:09:59,400
Speaker 1: to the August preseason pick market, Brandon Being is the

2711
02:09:59,440 --> 02:10:02,080
Speaker 1: best at it and it's been, you know, incredibly fruitquick

2712
02:10:02,120 --> 02:10:04,680
Speaker 1: with the Bills. They've gotten those five picks, and those

2713
02:10:04,760 --> 02:10:08,840
Speaker 1: picks have been used, you know, to acquire bigger name players.

2714
02:10:08,880 --> 02:10:10,720
Speaker 1: And you think one of the picks went in the

2715
02:10:10,800 --> 02:10:12,960
Speaker 1: trade up to get Cody Ford, another of the picks

2716
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:15,160
Speaker 1: went in the trade up to get Dawson knocked, and

2717
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:16,800
Speaker 1: at least one of the picks. I haven't seen a

2718
02:10:17,160 --> 02:10:20,800
Speaker 1: one hundred percent concrete assessment of what the Digg's trade was,

2719
02:10:21,040 --> 02:10:22,680
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure at least one of those picks

2720
02:10:22,760 --> 02:10:24,640
Speaker 1: was in the Diggs trade too. So you know, he

2721
02:10:24,840 --> 02:10:27,120
Speaker 1: is not only gaining the Bills picks in a way

2722
02:10:27,160 --> 02:10:29,600
Speaker 1: that most people don't talk about. He's using it to

2723
02:10:30,120 --> 02:10:33,080
Speaker 1: bring in guys who are starters and maybe even potential stars.

2724
02:10:34,920 --> 02:10:37,720
Speaker 1: Let's set Ed Brown from Rochester talking about Brandon Mean's

2725
02:10:38,040 --> 02:10:40,360
Speaker 1: drafts at it strategy are part of it. Anyway, Mike

2726
02:10:40,400 --> 02:10:43,440
Speaker 1: Giardi joined this NFL Network proporter. He talked about how

2727
02:10:43,480 --> 02:10:46,040
Speaker 1: it's a rough season, this first continuity is concerned and

2728
02:10:46,120 --> 02:10:49,200
Speaker 1: the upheaval of the coronavirus concerns, but he's had this

2729
02:10:49,280 --> 02:10:51,320
Speaker 1: could be a benefit to the Buffalo Bills. Here's Mike

2730
02:10:51,360 --> 02:10:54,040
Speaker 1: giardis one of the reasons why I think the Bills

2731
02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:56,800
Speaker 1: are very well positioned though, to get off to the

2732
02:10:56,920 --> 02:11:00,320
Speaker 1: kind of start and hit the ground running that maybe

2733
02:11:00,360 --> 02:11:02,040
Speaker 1: some other teams on. I mean, obviously in New England

2734
02:11:02,160 --> 02:11:05,720
Speaker 1: has the coaching staff in places in great ductor leadership,

2735
02:11:06,120 --> 02:11:08,040
Speaker 1: but they don't have the quarterback now and how you're

2736
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:11,480
Speaker 1: transitioning to a new quarterback, whereas the Bills have so

2737
02:11:11,680 --> 02:11:15,640
Speaker 1: many people coming backs and last year's team and especially

2738
02:11:15,720 --> 02:11:20,720
Speaker 1: guys at key positions, having you know, the coordinators remain

2739
02:11:20,800 --> 02:11:23,680
Speaker 1: the same, head coach remain the same, having Josh now

2740
02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:27,560
Speaker 1: entering his third year. And yeah, it would be beneficial

2741
02:11:27,640 --> 02:11:29,680
Speaker 1: for Josh and Stefan to be able to get together

2742
02:11:29,800 --> 02:11:32,080
Speaker 1: and throw and have OTAs and sort of get to

2743
02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:34,520
Speaker 1: know each other in that regard. But I think when

2744
02:11:35,200 --> 02:11:38,720
Speaker 1: guys like Stefan are so talented that I think he

2745
02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:41,280
Speaker 1: could show up a week before the season and the

2746
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:44,400
Speaker 1: season shape, they could figure it out pretty quickly in it.

2747
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:48,160
Speaker 1: That's my Giardi of the NFL network. You know, see,

2748
02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:50,320
Speaker 1: you know what we talked about a lot before free

2749
02:11:50,320 --> 02:11:53,839
Speaker 1: agency began. We haven't distressed it much. The tough Bill schedule,

2750
02:11:53,880 --> 02:11:55,840
Speaker 1: and I know it's still tough. But it seems like

2751
02:11:55,920 --> 02:11:58,080
Speaker 1: with all the upheaval and all the uncertainty about the

2752
02:11:58,200 --> 02:12:01,200
Speaker 1: NFL that tough schedule. Maybe there's people don't know what

2753
02:12:01,320 --> 02:12:03,240
Speaker 1: to expect from some of the teams that are really

2754
02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:04,640
Speaker 1: good last year and they don't know what they'll be

2755
02:12:04,680 --> 02:12:06,680
Speaker 1: like this year. Do you agree, Yeah, I think it's

2756
02:12:06,720 --> 02:12:09,520
Speaker 1: fair to anticipate, given the fact that you know, you

2757
02:12:09,600 --> 02:12:12,240
Speaker 1: don't know what it is every year to year anytime,

2758
02:12:12,920 --> 02:12:15,680
Speaker 1: the fact that we've had an off seasonal like this,

2759
02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:19,680
Speaker 1: it is what it is, and all the uncertainties that

2760
02:12:19,760 --> 02:12:22,480
Speaker 1: are bound around the offseason, plus the continuity that the

2761
02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:25,880
Speaker 1: Bills have, you know, there's even it's even more of

2762
02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:29,000
Speaker 1: a crapshoot than it ever has been. We have no

2763
02:12:29,160 --> 02:12:32,360
Speaker 1: idea how difficult or how easy the schedule of the

2764
02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:33,880
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna have. We don't even know if it's

2765
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:37,160
Speaker 1: gonna be sixteen games or not. So there's no way

2766
02:12:37,280 --> 02:12:39,000
Speaker 1: you can tell that this is going to be an

2767
02:12:39,040 --> 02:12:42,320
Speaker 1: impossible schedule, or it may be the schedule that works

2768
02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:44,839
Speaker 1: out perfectly for the Bills to move forward in the playoffs.

2769
02:12:46,080 --> 02:12:48,440
Speaker 1: No way to tell, that's right. Our production assistant today,
